Like I said, I hated the ending. So here is a better one. Starts right before the text ending one in the last part. Not that anybody's reading. Oh, and I decided to putt he translations in, because I said I would . and idiot me forgot. Gomen minna-san!

ENDING TWO

Alarms blared at 3 the following morning as Nigel came running in. The once leader found Michael and Cree already talking.

"Cree?!" a chorus of confusion went up. She gave a 'hey' back.

"You guy's firen' the machine gave away this place. They're marchen' here righ' now!"

And sure enough, the marching feet could be felt.

Wallabee, who'd been left behind, appeared in the doorway for The Hidden Room. Although Hoagie offered to fix him up a wheelchair, the recently recovered Aussie stubbornly stuck with crutches. "So wha' we do?" He asked.

Nigel stood up straight. "We open fire."

And they did.

Those who had been totally brainwashed dropped dead, no personality left to reawaken. Those who had managed to hind some part of themselves away from the mental invasion were stunned for a bit, but slowly recovered.

Haogie went about making more copies of the machine, and he even sent a copy to Quatre. They went a bout freeing the mind-controlled victims. And then the living rallied together to fight those behind the attacks.

With no one left under his control, the antagonist committed suicide. His identity was never released, but if you really want to know-

Apparently, Joshua didn't run away.

As the dead were buried, Michael was reunited with his only remaining relative, The Round One, Sara. Hoagie too was reunited with his sibling, but it seemed every one else they had grown up with was gone.

Sanban Kuki bawled openly for the first time in years as she lay her sister to rest.

Michael and Sara vanished. No one yet knows to where.

Hoagie and The Annoying One stayed close by, helping set up jobs to fix the city.

Chad disappeared over seas.... Not sure where, but his last transmission had a bit of French...

Now that Lizzie really was gone, Nigel fell into depression. But it seems Kuki pulled him out.

Wallabee tended to 'forget' he was injured, and spent the better part of the next year recovering, with Abigail attempting to tie him down. She seems to have no repercussions of what happened. The two bicker a lot, just like when they were little, but it makes the others smile.

Cree hung out for a bit, before making her way into the city. She ended up working for Hoagie... or is it the other way around?

Over 75% of the population died. Slowly, it has become stable, but it's still a bit dent in the human timeline.
