Epilogue: What's Next on the Agenda
The timeline has been saved. Thanks to Team SSSS and their friends, the people of their worlds can continue to look forward to a joyful future. There is the possibility that the Time Eater's actions and the aftermath of the final battle in the Center of Time may have slightly altered some people's memories. Nothing too tragic. Just some minor changes that don't really amount to anything, as evident by a few specific characters.
Latveria, Doom's Castle
"Hey, mother. What seems to be the problem?" Grimadoom the Hedgehog walks up to the dark mistress of Remnant, Salem in a windowed room, observing the construction of the Exo Stone Harnessing Machine.
Salem rubs her throbbing head while putting her hand on the window, "It's nothing. Just a headache."
"You can get those? You were probably thinking about your past again and ranting on and on how much 'the Gods must suffer' and 'Ozpin must die by my hand'." Grimadoom jokes.
"No. It's…something else. A faded memory," Salem seems to be gaining vague memories of the altered timeline when her past, uncorrupted self briefly teamed up with the Spider-Men, the Sonics, the Tails', and the RWBY kids to help them to defend history. Their time together was short, but she has the distinct feeling she enjoyed their adventure, traveling through Seaside Hill, some joyful talks with the gang, playing on the bobsled, the time she hugged Peter and Sonic.
Salem starts to walk out of the room, "I'm going to get some air. Continue watching the construction of the machine. Call me if Doom asks for me."
"Hmm?" Grimadoom crosses his arms, wondering what's up with Salem. Still, it doesn't seem like he cares and does what he's told, looking back at the machine that upon completion, the power to control all eight Exo Stones will be theirs.
Remnant, City of Mistral
"Well, I'm shocked. We're not DEAD! I believe those kids actually did it. Guess they didn't need my help after all." An older, shorter yet still energetic Maria Calavera, formally known as the Legendary Grimm Reaper, walks through the streets of Mistral, looking around her surroundings with her goggle-like prosthetic eyes since the loss of her silver eyes. She seems to possess clear-cut memories of her brief adventure with Team SSSS when she was younger and is grateful for them for saving all of history.
"Saving all of time isn't a small feat, but I had faith they would succeed. Ha ha! Those kids are incredible, even better than me when I was still a Grimm-slaying warrior." Maria smiled. "Maybe I can learn a thing or two from them, to keep on fighting," She stares at the blue sky for a moment, then looks back down, "…Eh, maybe later," She said casually, "Better start heading out. Gotta train to catch. Let's hope time haven't slowed down these legs." She said as she makes way for the Mistral train station.
Earth-616 universe, in a distant galaxy
Inside a massive battleship, an alien that goes by the name Ebony Maw walks up to one of his soldiers on the bridge, who was charged in observing any temporal anomalies in the universe.
"What happened?" Maw asked the solider.
"There was a massive disturbance in the timestream but it seemed to have resolved itself." The solider replied.
"Where did the disturbance originate from?" Maw asked.
The solider pops up a holographic image of Earth for his superior to see for himself, "In System Earth-616 alpha, sir."
"What ugly planet is that?" Ebony Maw asked.
"Earth…"
Ebony Maw turns around to see his own master, the frightening conqueror of worlds, the Mad Titan himself, Thanos walking up to answer the subordinate's question, "That planet's name is Earth, and it holds the prizes I've been seeking."
"Should we prepare for conquest, my lord?" Maw asked the Titan.
"No. Slowly, but not quite. In time. By their summer's end, the Earth, and ALL universes, will finally meet their one true master." Thanos said with an unnerving smile, lifting up the eight, silver-colored Star Exo Stone in his hand.
White Space
In the void of white nothingness, Modern Eggman and Doc Ock Prime are trapped after their failure with the Time Eater. They stand together exhausted before looking at their counterparts, Classic Eggman and Doc Ock 2099, and growling at them.
"Are you sure you two saw a door over here?" M. Eggman asked the two.
"What?! YOU TWO were the ones who said you saw a door over here!" Classic Eggman argued.
"Well, I know it was one of us. Shut up and keep looking." Modern Eggman retorted.
"No! I'M busy trying to build a dimensional transporter to get us out of here!" Doc Ock 2099 said.
"That's supposed to be MY job!" Doc Ock Prime argued, furious.
"With what?! You have nothing!"
"So do you!"
The four of them continue arguing for another moment before they each walk off in their own directions. Later on, both Eggmen and Ocks are laying on the ground near each other.
"What time is it?" C. Eggman asked.
"It's the exact same time when you asked earlier and it will be the exact same time when you ask later. THERE IS NO TIME HERE!" Modern Eggman shouted at his past self.
"AAAH! I can't stay here for all of eternity!" Patel complained.
"Well get used to it!" Otto retorted.
"Let me just say that this a 'brilliant' plan that you two came up with." C. Eggman mocked his future self and partner.
"Don't get too self-righteous. It'll be YOUR two's plan pretty soon." M. Eggman furiously replied with a point.
"We're going to dedicate the rest of my life to forgetting it." C. Eggman said aside, presumably breaking the fourth wall, with Patel nodding in agreement.
"WE HEARD THAT!" The Prime Doctors retorted.
C. Eggman and Patel stand up. "Do we ever win?" C. Eggman asked his future self.
The other doctors stand up. "That depends on your definition of 'win'." M. Eggman replied.
"Beating Spider-Man and his blue rat friend." Patel stepped in to answer, wondering if they ever beat their arch-nemeses and their friends.
"Oh, well…" M. Eggman rubs his head in embarrassment, not wanting to admit they pretty much lose all their battles against them
"There are times when we come close! VERY, very close indeed!" Ock Prime answered awkwardly.
"So…No?" Patel asked.
"Uhhhh…." The Prime Doctors rubbed their shy heads.
C. Eggman sighs, "That doesn't give me much hope. Maybe I'll go back and get my teaching degree."
"That's not a bad idea. I've always enjoyed telling people what to do." M. Eggman smiled, with the others simply face-palming and shaking their heads, hopelessly wondering if they'll ever escape this white hell. Perhaps during the next universal catastrophe, but what are the chances of that happening anytime soon?

KFX Here: That's right. The finale to the Masters of Evil Saga is next. D-Avengers: Exo War. This will be a big project. One that I want to take some time with. I HOPE it won't be as long as Battle for Remnant, but it should be as engaging. Since this MAY or MAY NOT be my last story, I want to end this on a bang. I would appreciate some cover art that I want to use for this next story. You don't have to if you don't want to, but if you do, it would be greatly appreciated and I promise to give you a shout-out.
I hoped you all enjoyed Generations. You could consider this story an "anniversary" story if you want to. I'm…indecisive. It was difficult to write some chapters to keep things fresh and interesting. What did you think of this story as a whole? Give your thoughts in the review section or PM (private message) me. To do the latter, you simply need an actual Fanfiction. Net account. You can't do it as a guest member.
Also remember to check out "D.N. Works". He's currently writing a spin-off story set in the United Heroes Universe. If you want to write your own "United Heroes Spin-Off", contact me first and we'll talk. Until then, see you guys for Exo War.
