Epilogue: Legendary Heroes of Time

Chrom's Earth

Shadow and his united allies stand idly at the cliffside where the purified Little Planet is still chained, wondering what has become of Spider-Man and the others after they've been sucked in a time vortex by Grima. Shadow, still in his super form, senses what has become of the battle in the Chasm of Time, with Frederick walking behind him to learn of its outcome.

"What's happening?" The Wary Knight asked the ultimate life form.

"Hmmm…" Shadow quietly closes his eyes while his friends and allies stay in silent anticipation for what he's about to say. "It seems they actually did it. I can no longer sense Grima's presence in the timestream." He smiled as he deforms from his super form, making the entire Ylissean army cheer the names of the champions that defeated the fell dragon.

"Haha! Milord!" Frederick said happily to hear their worlds have been saved.

"Alright, we did it!" Tails cheered, excitedly clapping Nowi's hands in joy.

"Chrom…" Sumia smiles happy for her victorious husband.

"We won! Big Bro, Lucina, Robin! You guys saved us!" Lissa cheered extremely happily.

"Amazing! Ruby, Spidey, Sonic! You're awesome!" Weiss happily praised her friends for a job well done.

"Hmph. Was there really any doubt?" Grimadoom smirked while standing next to the Masters of Evil, who are also grateful for the heroes' victory over time. He then senses a portal open up beside him, revealing the non-superpowered Champions of Time, except Robin, walking out to greet their friends.

"YO!" Spidey saluted to his dear friends.

"Hey, guys!" Sonic grinned.

"You missed us?" Ruby giggled.

All of their friends hurry over to embrace them for a job well done. Amy was the first to hug Sonic, embarrassing the hedgehog with her tears of relief. Tails flies up to greet his best pal with a high-five while Knuckles gives his rival a nice fist-bump. Sumia rushes over to hug her husband and future daughter, extremely relived to see her family safe and sound. Same thing with Yang, embracing her little sister for saving all of time while Weiss and Blake smile beside her. And Kaine just walks up to give his spider-brother a fist bump, showing that he's proud of Peter.

While everyone is embracing each other, Lissa notices that there is still one more person missing. "Hey. Where's Robin? Is he…?" She worries that Robin might've been permanently killed after he destroyed Grima and their inseparable link.

"Don't worry…" To Lissa's surprise, as well as the others heroes, a revived Robin walks out of the portal to greet his friends, no longer possessing the Mark of Grima on his hand. "I'm here to stay."

"Robin!" Lissa hugged him, happy to see he's alive.

"Welcome back. It's over now." Chrom smiled at his best friend, who replies with his own smile.

"Thank goodness. I almost thought that wouldn't work." Peter said, having his doubts that the Chaos Regeneration technique would've really succeeded in reviving Robin.

"You need to have more faith in your plans, Spidey." Robin told the wall-crawler.

"Have you noticed my luck? I can't be trusted planning breakfast. I'll leave that stuff to you." Spidey joked, making Robin laugh.

"So the fell dragon has truly been defeated?" Doom asked the spider.

"Since we defeated him while he was connected to all the timestreams, he's been completely erased from history. We don't have to worry 'bout him ever being born." Spidey replied to the Latverian Monarch that Grima has truly been destroyed from all points in time.

"Hmph. Not bad, Spider-Man." Doom genuinely complimented the web-slinger.

"Hopefully this would teach you oldies not to control gods anymore." Cinder said to the Masters of Evil.

"Fat chance! We like a challenge!" Eggman grinningly replied to the symbiote warrior.

"Today just wasn't our day. That's all." Ock sinisterly smirked.

Grimadoom face-palmed at their stupidity. "Unbelievable."

"Now how about you give us that Genesis Stone and we'll be on our way." Salem requested.

"How about "No"?" Ruby smirked back.

Salem smiled. "I expected as much. Whatever. I think we've messed with space-time enough for one lifetime."

BGM End

Nearby, Lucina stares at the chained Little Planet, finally relieving herself of all the fear and pain she has endured for over ten years, now that the threat of Grima is no more. "I can't believe it's finally over." She said as Spidey and the other D-Avengers and Shepherds walks up to her.

"Told ya we would win if you kept on believing." Spidey said.

"And you were right." Lucina smiled warmly to him. "Thank you. Thank all of you. The future has been freed from the fell dragon's grasp, now ready to embrace peace."

"No problemo." Sonic gave her a thumbs up. "Now that we're done here, you and your friends can come stay with us at New York."

Lucina nodded. "Yeah. Despite our victory, my world is still in ruins, so I am eternally grateful for letting us stay in your world."

"I can arrange something better." said Ero as he shows up.

"Ero? What are you…" Spidey wonders what divine spider spirit has in store for Lucina.

"I don't do this so often, but I'll consult with the Master Weaver to weave a new thread in the Web of Life, create an alternate world similar to your future before Grima destroyed it entirely." Ero made an extremely uncharacteristic offer that was so not him it surprised the ever-living heck out of everyone.

"Really?!" Yang said.

"You'll create her a new future?!" Kaine asked.

"Who are you and what have you done with Ero, because he has never been this nice?" Spidey asked him.

"You mean it? Everyone…my parents…alive?" Lucina asked the Great Totem.

"Possibly. That's up to the Master Weaver. If not, I don't think your father in this timeline won't mind having you visit once and awhile, and you've grown strong enough to lead your people as their exalt." Ero said.

"Uh…I…thank you, Sir Other. I don't know what to say." Lucina respectively bowed to the grand spider.

"There's no need for formalities, child. Think of this as an apology for letting my responsibility run amok in your future." Ero told her.

"Thank you, Ero." Lucina smiled, deeply happy inside to know she'll now live in a new, peaceful future.

"Ah man. Just when we were planning to surprise you with THIS once we head back." Spidey said as he tossed Lucina her own Webware device for dimension-traveling, and her brand-new Avengers ID Card.

"Huh?! Is this…" Lucina holds up her certified superhero license in front of her eyes.

"Me and the guys and gals have been discussing this for a while, and we agreed to have you join our team as the newest member of the D-Avengers. I mean, you DID you just avenge your whole future, so your more than qualified." Peter said, congratulating Lucina as the newest member of the D-Avengers.

"I…" Lucina is utterly speechless from all the good news given to her in the span of a few minutes.

"Congratulations, Lucina!" Sonic praised her with a thumbs up.

"Welcome to the team! We're gonna have so much fun!" Ruby smiled.

Chrom and Sumia walk up to their daughter for officially joining an amazing team thanks to all her efforts. "Congratulations, Lucina." Sumia smiled to her future daughter.

"We may not exactly be the same parents as you know, but we can't be more than proud of you. You've done an amazing job." Chrom smiled, putting his hand on her shoulders.

Lucina sheds a tear, but quickly wipes it away as she smiles brightly. "Thank you." She said before hugging her family.

Chrom smiles and nods before turning to all his friends and allies from this and the different worlds from the great beyond. "Shepherds…Avengers…Friends…The war is over! The fell dragon's era of chaos has finally come to a complete and utter halt! The Risen will trouble our world no more! You all know that I'm a simple man, never one for speeches or song... But you need to know this... All that is good and brave in me and what I have done is because of you! We have weathered a sea of horror, but we did it as one. And, finally, we have come to the inviting shores of a bright future. Together."

"Now let's all head home, everybody, and host the greatest, biggest victory party of all TIME!" Spidey shouted.

BGM End

BGM-Sonic CD OST-Sonic Boom (Ending Version)

"YEAH!" Everyone cheered in agreement to the party.

Before everyone could leave back home, there's still the matter of Little Planet to deal with. Thankfully for them, now that Grima has no control over the little world anymore, the Ylissean's pegasus knights break the chains holding down Little Planet so it could rise away from the planet's surface, releasing countless stars that rain down all across Chrom's Earth, forming a grassy utopia on the land and an enormous rainbow arching over the kingdom, marking an eternal good future for all worlds. The heroes, and villains, stare in awe at the small world before it disappeared in a flash resembling Chrom's face, then Ruby's, then Sonic's, and lastly Spidey's head. The four champions from their respective dimension stare at each other's smile before uniting their fist-bumps, signifying the end of a time-surpassing war.


Ylisstol

At the Kingdom of Ylisse, everyone in the capital is joining a grand-smacking party now that the world is saved. Chrom overlooks the festivities from the balcony of his castle, hanging out with his wife. Out in the streets, the Legendary Hero-Spider Spider-Man takes his time to sign autographs of the entire kingdom, including Lucina's friends from the future, who came to visit their hero and their respective parents of the past. With Sonic, he's hanging out with some of his inter-dimensional friends, both old and new, so they could all enjoy a chili dog together, though Tails, Robin and Sun almost choked on their food. And Ruby is playing around with the Baby Lucina inside the castle while Future Lucina watches in happiness, telling her infant self she'll live a much better life than she ever did.

BGM End

Of course, there are those who aren't exactly known as wild party animals. Out a quiet pond outside the capital, Kaine throws his lure so he could do some quiet fishing, while Shadow leans on a shadowy tree in peace. As he sleeps, he could sense Blake walking up with two sodas for herself and Kaine. "Hey." She says to the troubled clone while he's fishing.

"Hey." Kaine stoically replied, still more focused on his fishing than the cat Huntress.

"Got you a drink." Blake said, handing him a sealed cup of soda.

"Thanks." Kaine replied, accepting the soda from her hand.

She takes a seat on the grassy field next to Kaine. "Not enjoying yourself out there?" She asked about why Kaine's not joining in on the huge party back at the capital.

"Never been much of a "party person." Don't really know HOW to party since I've been dead half of my short life. For me, this is the best kind of party: Peace and Quiet." Kaine said, still not feeling a bite from his fishing pole.

"I hear ya. The fighting's done and peace is restored. This is my dream." Blake replied as she lies her head on the soft grass.

There's a moment of silence between them, as neither has nothing else to say to each other, well mostly because Kaine's too focused on his fishing. When he could tell he's not getting a bite, he shyly sparks another conversation between each other. "So, uh, I was wondering…" He awkwardly speaks to Blake to ask her something. "I was hoping, since we're not doing much here, we…get a bite to eat…once we head back to New York." He shyly asked her.

"You mean a date?" Blake bluntly asked him.

"What?! NO! I just…" Kaine gets nervous, despite being a jerk and a hardass most of the time, he doesn't really know how to properly talk to a girl, which he blames Peter's genes for making it so difficult.

Blake lets out a small laugh. "I'm just messing with you. Sure. I don't mind grabbing a bite with you, just to make sure you don't angrily stab the cashier." She said while blushing a little.

Kaine grunts with a small smile, then notices his lure shaking intensely to something big. "Finally!" He tugs on his pole to bring out the large fish from the pond, but a split second later it got eaten by a bigger fish and heads back underwater, splashing tons of water onto Kaine, embarrassing himself in front of a laughing Blake.

BGM-Sonic CD OST-Cosmic Eternity


To end of this out-of-this-world party, the Ylisseans decided to play a new game they never played before: baseball. Out in an open field, the united heroes wear their baseball outfits for a healthy game of matches to end off the day. And despite initially having no idea what they were doing, thanks to some quick tutoring from their Avenger pals, they quickly adapt to the game.

Everyone but Ero are very much enjoying themselves, as the Great Totem decided not to participate and watch from the sidelines, accompanied by the one and only Lady Naga. "Why are you here?" Ero asked her.

"I thought I take a moment to check out this "baseball" the humans are playing. It looks quite fun." Naga replied, smiling warmly.

"It's a weird game, but it has its quirks." Ero replied.

"I wonder, Ero, what are your true opinions on humanity? Didn't think it was in you help the future child." Naga asked.

"Humanity is a destructive race, moreso than us totems and gods, but I'll admit, there's a certain charm that urges me to help them in their time of need. That's what separates me from Grima, as he can't see that humans have an eternal place in this world, and I am grateful to have found a worthy partner who will help me keep the peace of the web. They are certainly an interesting race, one that I'm eager to learn more than ever." Ero replied while watching Peter playing baseball with his friends.

Naga giggled. "You have truly gone soft, Other."

"Shut your mouth, woman!" Ero told her, but she continues giggling to annoy him.

During the baseball match, with Shadow as the pitcher, he was accidently hit with the baseball Lucina smacked back. Sonic laughs from the sidelines, irritating Shadow to the point they start fighting with the Chaos Emeralds to go super. All the heroes laugh happily as the super hedgehogs fight intensely in the sky, knowing that no matter what happens, there will always be a good future for humanity and its heroes.

Still, I hoped you all enjoyed this story and leave a kind review of your overall thoughts.

Next story should be a short, if not simple adaptation of Sonic Free Riders, then after that, we're heading to world of Kid Icarus for another epic adventure. See you all after a good break.
