A World Embroiled in Chaos
Epilogue: Starting Over
A/N: I hope that you all liked last chapter. I'm particularly proud of this chapter, the chapter before this, and chapter sixty… and I hope that you all enjoy this one as well… Anyways, onward, my friends.
DISCLAIMER: Refer to Chapter One's Disclaimer…as I've said many times.
The deafening explosion subsided… and nothing remained in the sky… not Kirth… and not Kyle…Alyssa, Badge, Harris, Tyler, and Serea were all at Fist Fighter Ridge… gazing up at the spectacle, as the sun began to rise. "…Is it over?" Harris asked. "It appears so." Badge sighed. "…Kyle…?" Alyssa asked. The others looked saddened. "It appears as though he gave his life for the planet." Harris solemnly spoke. Alyssa looked at the ground. A dead silence seemed to wipe over all. "…What about the others who died?" Serea asked. There were the corpses of Yirek, Jery, and Brian… and the ashes of Jarod. Suddenly Yirek got up with a groan. "Yirek… you're alive!" Tyler stated. Yirek rubbed his head. "So I am." He stated. "What happened?" He then asked. "We've won." Tyler said. "Nice… any casualties?" Yirek asked. "…All that we know is that Jarod, Brian, Jery, and Kyle are dead." Harris stated. "Kyle died?" Yirek asked, surprised. "He sacrificed himself to protect Earth when Kirth released his legendary attack…" Badge replied. "I'd stop talking about it…" Serea muttered. The others noticed that Alyssa was standing far away from them, with her back turned. They could all hear a faint sob. "…" A solemn gust of wind broke over the ridge, and it began to rain…
…The next day…
Kevin, Tamrin, Jeff, Megan, Phill, Kit, Ben, Kacie, Yureidoru, Jason, Alex, and Dyougandara all came from Grandville, and met with those on the ridge. The outcome of the war was spread all around. Group A lost half of their men, while Group B suffered minimal casualties, with no deaths, as did the Grandville invasion force. The Kirth's plane invasion force lost their most important member…
...Base of Clan Wildfire, Noon, a sunny day…
It was so silent, as only the winds could be heard. There the base of Clan Wildfire stood, and in front of it, were two graves. One was the grave of Brian, with the Cerulean Blade sticking into it. Second was the grave of Jery, who was buried with his Onyx Arm Cannon. Kevin, Alyssa, Harris, Badge, Tamrin, Yirek, Serea, Tyler, Jeff, Megan, Phill, Kit, Ben, Kacie, Yureidoru, Jason, Alex, and Dyougandara stood before the two new graves. "What about Jarod?" Tyler asked. "…I lost the ashes." Kevin replied.
Jason slung a sack over his soldier. "Well… it was nice, but we're going back on the road." He stated, and Alex nodded in agreement. Dyougandara seemed ready to leave, too. "At least stay for tonight." Tyler stated. "Yeah. There's a party celebrating the planet's freedom." Yureidoru stated. The three thought over it for a moment, and then agreed to stay until the party ended. "Well… we might as well get ready." Yirek stated, as the small crowd began to separate…
…Later that night…
…11:00 P.M., in a vast field near Grandville…
You could hear many loud shouts of joy. Everybody was merry. The very thing that plagued the Earth for so many years has finally been defeated once and for all… various clans from the north, south, east, and west, along with the civilians from the center towns, came. Kevin, Harris, Badge, Tamrin, Yirek, Serea, Tyler, Jeff, Megan, Phill, Kit, Ben, Kacie, Yureidoru, Jason, Alex, and Dyougandara were all there. People were getting drunk and happy, while others danced around and sang, like they had no care in the world. At this point, they didn't care about anything. Clans were no longer needed, so towns in the north, south, east, and west would soon develop, and humans could go back to living the way that their ancestors did…
"Hey, pass the scotch!" Kevin yelled to Badge, who passed a can over. Kevin guzzled it down quickly. "Now that's the stuff!" He exclaimed. Kevin, Harris, Badge, Yirek, and Tamrin were all enjoying the scotch, while various others were either off at the food court, or dancing. Lots of shouting and laughter could be heard from each and every direction. Kevin looked around. "I need to go for a few minutes…" Kevin stated, seeming serious. The others, surprised by this, only nodded, as Kevin got up and walked away.
About a half mile away from the party…
Alyssa sighed heavily, and walked toward a small lake. She looked around, and tried to manage a smile. Things were nice like this, everyone was in the distance, and only the crickets could be heard. Alyssa then looked noticed a small dock near the pond. She went to the end of the dock, took her shoes off, and dipped her bare feet into the water, and lying down while doing so, so she could look up at the stars. 'How could they forget so quickly? They party at their new freedom, but don't realize the price paid? They don't know who they even owe this golden age to…' She thought, a tear rolling down her cheek.
Kevin then walked up to where she was. "Why aren't you at the party?" He asked. "Now isn't the time for laughter." Alyssa replied. Kevin sighed. He couldn't begin to contemplate her pain. "…You know that it's best if you let it all out." Kevin then stated. Alyssa remained silent. "I'm… not going to. He's still alive out there… somewhere." Alyssa said, eyes still fixed upon the stars. Kevin noticed her eyes, and he felt a jolt of pain inside him. Once sparkling with great happiness, they were now filled with a sadness that could make the happiest of people saddened. "You… know… Kyle didn't sacrifice himself for this planet…" Kevin began. "…He sacrificed himself… for you." He stated. Alyssa sighed. "I know… but he's not dead… he's out there somewhere." She replied. Kevin sighed. "I'll leave you alone for awhile." He stated, walking back to the party, leaving Alyssa alone once more. Something about putting her feet in the calm waters, and staring up at a blissful sky full of stars seemed to comfort her.
…Back at the party…
"How'd it go?" Badge asked, as Kevin sat back down. "…She refuses to believe that he's dead." Kevin stated. "Should we all go comfort her?" Harris asked. "No. She needs to be alone." Kevin stated, the others nodded, and began to resume drinking the scotch. Soon enough, everyone at the party fell asleep, and a new day dawned. Alyssa was still where she was the entire night, only she was sleeping. 'Change is going to happen soon, Lyss…' A voice that sounded like Kyle's rang inside her head. She awoke with a start, hoping he was nearby… but he wasn't.
Within a year later, clans were proved obsolete, and disbanded, and plenty of new towns developed, in addition, the grand coliseum matches that once took place long ago were reopened. Earth has entered the golden age, indeed.
-Below is a short epilogue on every specific character, including their age during this fic, so you can picture them better-
(If it says 25, then that means the person is older than 25, but appears that way permanently because of the evolution… so… here goes…)
Jarod, 18- The doofus
He died a simple death on Fist Fighter ridge against one of Clan Justice's Elites. He was burned to a crisp, and his ashes were lost. No glory came to his name, and everyone soon forgot about him.
Brian, 20- The large
Brian, Jery's towering brother, died by the same way as Jarod. Though noted as a more admirable individual, his sacrifice wasn't noticed much. However, there are few who still speak his name in whispers…
Phill, 23- The Random
Phill, the ultimate in randomness, left on a journey… a secret and personal journey… to find the next flavor of cool aid man, and drink him.
Kacie, 25+- The Great Swordswoman
Kacie, being one of the two who accompanied Kevin on the assault on Fletcher's tower, gained recognition from the public. With the clans now gone, and people living freely, Kacie decided to become a mercenary. She was paid very well, and became rich in no time.
Jery, 25+- The Bulky
Jery died a valorous death, sacrificing himself for Serea in the fist fighter ridge for Serea, who still wonders why he did it. His name has been recorded in the great new library, and he will always be remembered as a famous figure.
Tyler, 21- The underestimated
Once made fun of and underestimated, Tyler is now famous, and has been marked as a major historical figure.
Yureidoru, 23- The Avenger
Having avenged his clan, Yureidoru went back to the site of his old base. Bandits tore down the remainder of the base a little bit after he left so long ago. He decided to raise a thriving town from the rubble, which he settled down in himself. He became respected by many.
Jason, 16- The thief
Having gained his good luck back, Jason decided to try and fight for good during the war. He did, and even enjoyed the party afterwards. He soon left, along with Alex and Dyougandara, to become a chivalrous thief, who robs only from the rich and undeserving, and sometimes gives to the poor.
Alex, 18- The Brigand
Alex followed his brother Jason's steps in becoming a chivalrous thief. He soon became fond of the change.
Dyougandara, 30+- The Crazed Merchant
The crazed Louscian merchant followed Alex and Jason for a while, until the perfect opening came to him. Bidding farewell to the thieves, he (somehow) became the new and bigger Grandville's most famous merchant.
Jeff, 24- The Gorilla
Jeff looked at the place that was once his Clan's base. The Great War had left it in utter ruins. Jeff found it perfect to raise another town here. Within three years, the town was thriving, and known for its connection with history's greatest war.
Serea, 19- The flirt
Serea went back to her old laid-back life. In five years, she married, and she and her husband moved into the town that Yureidoru recently completed.
Kit, 18- The wandering swordswoman
Like Kacie, she too decided to become a mercenary. The two eventually decided to become partners, and open up what would become a famous mercenary company.
Ben, 15- The young warrior
Ben went back to the clan village that he was to be Clan Master of. However, he opened the village into a normal and public village that he became mayor of. Many were fond of his rule.
Megan, 17- The Fast Warrior
Realizing the Alex and Jason left without paying back the money, she sighed, and let it go. She then decided to participate in some of the tournaments now held in Granville.
Harris, 25+- The Living Legend
Though not a god, he was the next thing to one. He decided to hit the coliseum multiple times, until he raked in a huge amount of earnings. From here, he traveled to the desert, to the very oasis where he first met Yureidoru and Kit… and built a manor there. He can be seen honing his skills in the desert. He was referred to as a living legend.
Badge, 17- The Wandering Genius
Badge went back to his home on the glacial islands, and spread the news of Kirth's defeat. Everyone on the island rejoiced, and the raging blizzard that had been going on for a hundred years calmed. Badge was seen hitting the coliseum three years later.
Tamrin, 43+- The Ancient Savior
Tamrin was happy to see his old arch-nemesis finally destroyed, but the fact that the one who did it gave his life to do so saddened him. He decided to build a home in solitude, and watch over the continent.
Yirek, 27+- The Former Evil
Glad to see his old master slain, Yirek did what he always wanted to do: Build a town where peace reigned. He decided that the ruins of Coastiand were as good a place as any.
Kevin, 25+- The Lesser God
The ever-famous slayer of Fletcher was the old god left. However, Kevin wanted none of the glory, and instead, vanished mysteriously, on a quest to find a girl he could love.
Alyssa, 25+- The Ninja Queen
As the story of the ones who brought Kirth's fall spread, so did Alyssa's fame. She was so beautiful that many made her the subject of many poems and paintings. Not only that, but her sheikah form is known as the strongest, fastest, and most skilled of all ninja. Unfortunately, Alyssa didn't like her newfound publicity. She still refuses to believe that Kyle is dead. She still says that he's out there somewhere.
Kyle, 25+- The Greater God
Sacrificing himself for the one he loved, Kyle's name was showered in honor, and he became the most famous figure of all time. He's responsible for killing the one who lead the ones who plagued the planet for so many years: Kirth. Now, all say that he's dead, although Alyssa firmly believes that he's still out there… somewhere…
-THE END-
Whew. There you have it. The End. Story's over… finally. Anyways, I'd like a nice review from everyone. Also, state what rating you'd give this story (On a scale of 1-10). I truly hope that you all have enjoyed this story. When school ends, or sooner if I get impatient, I'll come out with another story to this series, reflecting on the pasts of various characters, and the events before this story. Simply keep on looking around in the SSBM section of fanfiction. Eventually, another story written by Biggoron will come up.
