(Super Mario Galaxy ost - Star Babies)

Everyone floated on their backs in a light blue void, their eyes closed while the sounds of crying can be heard. Towering over them was Rosalina.

"Do you hear the baby stars? These newborns will grow up to become galaxies someday. When stars die, they turn to stardust and scatter across the cosmos. Eventually, that stardust reforms to create a new star… and so the cycle of life continues. But the cycle never repeats itself in quite the same way. So… you'll see."

(BGM ended)


The sounds of fireworks shot off nearby, cheering was heard in the distance… a small butterfly landed on Rean's forehead.

"Mmm…" Rean let out a groan as he slowly opened his eyes and slowly rose up as the butterfly flew off. He rubbed his head. "Where… am I?" He wondered as he looked around, seeing that he was back in Toad Town. "Am I in…" His eyes widened, letting out a gasp as she flashbacked to the Supermassive Black Hole that destroyed everything. "We're… we're back…" He whispered, tears starting to form in his eyes as Mario was the next one to get up.

"Mama mia…" Mario groaned as he rubbed his head and then saw his surroundings. "Are we… Are we back?" He wondered.

"We are…" Rean said, tears streaming down his face and silently sobbing as one by one, everyone rose up and had the same expression on their face. They were back.

"No way…" Levi said.

"We're back?"Alisa asked

"We're back! WE'RE ALIVE!" Elliot cheered as everyone else started cheering as they hugged one another, as the couples would then embrace one another and kiss each other in gratitude.

(Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories ost - La Pace)

"Can someone explain what the heck just happened!" A voice said as they saw Patrick approaching them along with everyone from the Courageous. "The last thing we remember is we help the situation of this town and all of a sudden everything was distorting and ended up getting destroyed!"

"It's a long story..." Towa nervous laughed but she couldn't help but feel joy.

"Weiss!"

"Blake!"

Weiss and Blake would turn around and see their families approaching them. Both of them started tearing up as they immediately went over to hug them tightly.

"Ha! I TOLD you all we will be fine!" Sothis said as she reappeared next to Roselina.

"Is everyone all right?" Palutina asked.

"Yeah, we're all okay!" Celica cheered.

"Good, because Now I had to head back to Garreg Mach. I'm sure Rhea and Seteth need an exclamation."

"You're right. We'll head back as well." Edelgard nodded before turning to everyone. "Everything... this is no doubt something we won't forget."

"Indeed... terrifying... but also one of the most beautiful adventures we could have been." Dimitri smiled.

"I'll say! Let's do it again... just let's hope it doesn't involve some destruction of the Universe." Claude added.

"That depends on who and how." Rean chuckled.

"I think I need a looooong rest after that." Lissa giggled.

"Haha! What an epic tale! I'm too excited to even go talk like I normally do!" Owain laughed.


With Crow...

Crow snuck away from everyone as he is watching from a distance. He smiled at everyone as they see his classmates, his friends all cheering.

"Incredible..." Vita said as she approached to the scene. "Never I imagine that the Universe was restored..."

"I guess it's thanks to the Queen of the Cosmo." Crow said.

"You're right... But... aren't you gonna join them?" Vita turn to him.

"Nah... As much as I want to... I'm afraid they'll hold me on a tight leash."

Vita giggled. "That's true... Well... I guess we should head back to Erebonia now..."

Crow nodded. "Yeah..." He said as he and Vita walk away.


Back to the others...

As everyone was celebrating, Bowser and the Koopa Troop started to walk away from the Star Festival.

"Bowser, wait!" Peach called out as Bowser turned to her.

"What is it?"

"Do you want to spend some time at the festival?" Peach asked.

Bowser's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? You want us to spend time at this festival? After what I did? I blew up the entire universe!"

"That may be true… but I think you deserve to have some fun. We all need it after that horrid experience."

Bowser folded his arms, closing his eyes. "Mmmph…" He then let out a smirk and then let out a chuckle. "Oh what the heck, why not!" He said as he walked forward with the Koopa Troop.

"We could all use a rest after that." Roman said with Neo nodding.

"AAH!" Levi yelled.

"Whoa, what's with the scream, Levi?" Rean asked.

"I was so happy that I forgot why we're here! And where's Crow?"

They all realize what he mean.

"Yeah you're right!" Elliot exclaimed.

"Crow?" Morgan called out. "CROOOOW!"

"I'm afraid he left already." Mona said as she approached the group.

"Mona, what do you mean?" Lissa asked.

"When we regain conscious. I saw Crow slip away. My guesses he's returning to Erebonia along with Ouroboros."

"Yes, I suspected as much." Kamek nodded.

"You're right... the reason why we're here is because we need to deactivate the barrier that was in Heimdallr!" Rean exclaimed before turning to Bowser. "Bowser, since you created the barrier, we need you to deactivate it!"

"If Crow is returning to Erebonia... Why that good for nothing!" Bowser growled as he stomp his feet. "Well, my agreement with Ouroboros is complete anyway. All right. I'll deactivate immediately."

"Awesome! Everyone, we're heading to Erebonia!" Sara announced.

"RIGHT!" Members of the Courageous nodded.

"Can I come too?" Morgan asked.

"You want to come as well?" Alisa asked

"Yeah... I want to bring Crow back." Morgan answered

Mario, Luigi, Peach and Dasiy look at each other and nodded.

"Then you can count on us to help you too!" Mario said.

"You guys want to come too?" Machias asked

"That's right. Crow is our friend too." Luigi nodded

"Though I may be a princess, and no doubt my involvement will cause disturbance... but I want to help rescue the Arnor family if possible. And bring Crow back." Peach nodded

"Yeah, let's kick those Noble Alliance assholes ass!" Daisy smirked.

"Then count on me too." Bowser said.

"Wait, YOU want to join us as well?" Jusis asked.

"Why do you find that surprising? Crow got some explaining to do after all!"

"And what does he need to explain to you?" Fie asked.

"Oh, I officially made him a Koopa Troop." Bowser smirked

"What?" Fie sweatdrop with everyone.

"If King Bowser is coming along then I'll help out as well." Kamek said.

"Count me in." Mona nodded.

"I'll go too." Aether nodded.

"Yeah! Let's go bring Crow back!" Paimon nodded

"Good grief you guys." Ragna sighed. "Still, sounds fun to kick some noble punks asses." Ragna smirked. "All right, let's go everyone!"

"YEAH!" They nodded.

(BGM ended)

"Now wait just a second."

"Huh?" Noel Vermillion wondered.

"Who said that?" Jubei wondered.

"I said wait just a second..."

"...That voice… oh no…" Palutena whimpered as the ground underneath them shook as evil laughter was heard through the area... and then suddenly, the ground exploded and someone shot out of it before slamming into the ground.

"BOOM!" He said and then dusted himself off. "Why, hello do gooders!"

(Kid Icarus: Uprising ost - Hades' Infernal Theme)

"HADES?!" Paluntena yelled

"OH HEEEEEEEEEEEELL NOOOOO!" Viridi screamed.

"Who's this guy?!" Machias exclaimed

"Hades. Lord of the Underworld. He's a god as well... But he was defeated by Pit! What are you doing back?!" Palutena demanded to know.

"Oh, the universe was destroyed... but it was restored, correct? For some miraculous reason, the universe decided to bring me back from the dead!" Hades chuckled. "Now I get to mess with you boneheads again just like old times... especially with these new boneheads!"

"Us?!" Machias exclaimed

"Oh Wonderful..." Jusis muttered

"At least, that's what I would say if I didn't have to clean up the Underworld in its current state."

(BGM ended)

"...Wait, what?" Fie wondered.

"Yeah, thanks to you pretty Palutena and Pitty boy, the Underworld has been left in such a state that I have to do some massive spring cleaning. So consider yourselves lucky." He said. "However! That isn't to say I still won't mess with you chuckleheads from time to time on your adventures. Heh... messing with you will bring me such joy!"

"He's... joking... right?" Celine asked.

"I don't think he is." Emma sweatdrop.

"However, I won't do any of that "soul" thing that I used to do. So if that's what you're worried about, then you can relax. However! I may check in on you and throw in a misguidance every now and then just for the thrill of it." Hades smirked. "I must bid you adieu!" He said, snapping his fingers and disappearing.

"Great. JUST! GREAT!" Viridi groaned.

"Mistress Viridi, you look like you need some aspirin." Arlon said.

"Gee… YA THINK?"

"That an odd guy... wait... am I allowed to say that to him?" Ruby asked

"Okay, let's head back to Erebonia. And finally, end this." Claire said and everyone who was going nodded and then head to the Courageous.


With Salem

"Alive again…" She said to herself as she punched a wall in frustration. "The Gods… they mock megive me a taste of death and they take that away. DAMN THEM!"


Somewhere in Remnant...

There was a boy who came out of hiding from his bed as he look around. "What the heck was that?"

"I'm not so sure myself. But it seems the crisis had been averted." Ospin's voice said.

"Phew..."

"Still, we have to leave." Ozpin's voice said to him in his mind.

"Again with this? After what just happened?"

"I can't fault you for that. But everything should be all right regardless." Ospin voice said as Oscar sighed. "There are friends that can help during the journey."

"You're gonna keep bothering me with this..." Oscar muttered.


Meanwhile, with Qrow

Qrow walked near some trees, his hands in his pockets. He would hear the sound of a portal open up as he let out a gasp as he turned around and saw Raven coming out.

"Raven?" Qrow asked in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Can't I check up on my brother? After all, the universe was destroyed… but it was restored."

Qrow let out a smirk. "Decided to get worried about your family, hmm?"

Raven blushed. "I wasn't worried! I was… checking to see what had changed." She said as Qrow folded his arms, his smirk not fading. "Wipe that smirk off your face, I wasn't worried at all!"

"Heh, whatever you say." Qrow said. "So, I imagine you're dying to say something, seeing as how you were worried."

"I wasn't!" Raven gave him a glare. "Anyway, I just came to see what had changed. Nothing more." Raven said. "I wasn't concerned for you at all, nor anyone else."

"Whatever you say."

"Tch…" Raven scowled. "…How's Yang?"

"The firecracker? Oh, she's doing pretty alri-…" He gave her a knowing smirk. "Well, isn't that something. You still care about your daughter."

"I do not! Ugh… you can be so annoying at times." Raven said, swiping her katana down to open up a portal. "Glad to know that all of you are okay after that mess." She said and walked in, the portal closing behind her.

"Heh, after all this time… there's a spark in you where you still care." Qrow said and then walked off.


Meanwhile... with Ouroboros...

"I see..." The Grandmaster said as she and the other Anguis's returned to the Celestial Globe and Vita told them everything.

(Trails in the Sky the 3rd ost - The Way of the Heart)

"Incredible... To think the Queen of the Cosmo restored this world... no... the Universe..." The First Anguis amused.

"Haha... Well isn't this a shocking news you gave Abyss." The Forth Anguis chuckled.

"The Queen of the Cosmo is someone we should not upset... for the celestial power she possesses can restore and beyond what mankind can understand...even by us." The Steel Maiden said.

"Indeed... The Queen of the Cosmo hold power that was beyond my understanding and capability." The Grandmaster said. "We owe her our thanks for restoring the Universe. The Phantasmal Blaze Plan will continue as plan."

"I had a feeling you'll say that. My team and I are heading back to Erebonia to complete the objective." Vita said.

"Vita, when you return, give my regards to the Queen of the Cosmo, let her know my gratitude and my respect."

"As you wish, Grandmaster." Vita nodded before she left the Celestial Globe. "As I expected. It's a good thing I told Crow, Mcburn, Bleublanc, Duvalie and Minerva in advance to head back to Heimdallr. I imagine by now the barrier holding the capital is destroyed or shut down. Still... Thank you, King Bowser."
