Well, enjoy!
Ch. 29: Epilogue
Several hours later, the scene shifts to a hidden base somewhere outside Japan, in which the flying ship landed, and there the Class of 78 got off and they wondered who they are going to meet after being told that there are people who wanted to help the survivors after witnessing how they were able to escape from the academy, and Kirigiri is bracing herself and she whispered to Ohgami and Ohwada to be ready for anything in case things turn ugly, and the two nodded in response to Kirigiri's reply.
"I see..."
"Okay...I get what you're saying..."
"But...how can you be sure that things would turn bad after these people saved us...?"
"Ohgami's got a point, Kirigiri...what made you think these guys can't be trusted?"
"Call it a detective's hunch, Ohwada-san..."
"Very well...Ohwada and I will be on alert..."
"You can count on me..."
"Thanks, you two..."
By then, a man appeared before the 15 teens and three adults, and he is followed by several persons, male and female, and there the persons greeted the survivors and welcomed them into the base, introducing themselves as members of the Future Foundation, and there the leader approached Naegi and praised him for braving the odds and for holding on until his classmates arrived, and told him and the Class of 78 that they managed to monitor the events and that they are aware of how the surviors managed to escape the academy, and Kirigiri approached the leader of the Future Foundation and asks if they have the means to help restore her and her classmates' memories, in which the Future Foundation leader nodded in reply.
"Yes...we have the means to restore your memories if that is what happened to you..."
"Then you can help us...?"
"Yes, of course..."
"But...how can we be sure if we can trust you?"
"I understand your concerns...fear not...we at the Future Foundation are an alumni of students who graduated from Hope's Peak Academy...and each of the people here are branch leaders of each division...they too graduated from Hope's Peak, so you don't have to fear us..."
"I see..."
"So then..."
"..."
Although this sounds like good news, she is somewhat skeptical at this as she still has doubts, but Yui whispered to her friend and persuaded her to accept the Future Foundation's offer to use their facilities to help restore her memories as well as her classmates', and Kirigiri is having a debate, and the two girls talk it out to see if Future Foundation can be trusted or not, with Yui trusting them and Kirigiri still doubtful even though it was them who sent the Gatchaman to rescue her and her classmates earlier.
"Are you certain of this, onee-sama?"
"Yes, Kyoko..."
"But still..."
"The Gatchaman risked themselves to save us...and even rescued Naegi and Maizono..."
"I'm sure they can be trusted..."
"If that's what you believe...then I'll take your word for it..."
"Okay..."
"..."
After a few minutes of talking, Kirigiri decided to accept the offer and the Future Foundation leader led the 14 classmates to a room where each if the students would undergo a procedure where the scientists are using high tech equipments to help in restoring the students' memories, and one by one the students were placed inside the machine, in which the session took about an hour and after 13 hours, each of the students regained their memories, and there they realized that they have indeed agreed to stay at the academy, and learned the fates of those they were close to:
- Kirigiri learned that her grandfather was used as a hostage
- Ohgami learned that Kenichiro was used as a hostage
- Asahina learned that her younger brother was used as a hostage
- Maizono learned that her idol band members were used as hostages
- Ohwada learned that his biker gang was used as hostages
- Yamada learned that his mother and older sister were used as hostages
- Kuwata learned that his cousin, Kanon, was used as a hostage
The Future Foundation then offered the survivors to join them in restoring the world stating that though Enoshima is dead, her influence within Japan remained, and Naegi is in agreement and urged his classmates to join him in helping Future Foundation to restore hope, and the others nodded in agreement, and Kirigiri was the last person to accept, while Ikusaba was silent as she knows that she has no right here knowing what she has done, and Naegi approached her and offered his hand, inviting her to join Future Foundation, and Ikusaba was surprised to hear this.
"Ikusaba-san...please join us..."
"What?"
"We need you..."
"But...I can't...after everything that I've done..."
"But you risked to get us out of the academy...and saved me and Maizono-san from Enoshima...you can still change...and with your help...we can restore the world..."
"But..."
"It's okay..."
"..."
However, some members of the Future Foundation are against this believing that Ikusaba should be executed due to her role in the current situation, but Naegi defended Ikusaba and said that her saving him and Maizono is proof that she has changed and renounced her role as member of the Remnants of Despair, and even Taichi, Hiroko and Aloysius defended Ikusaba, and Kirigiri approached the Future Foundation leader and tried to convince him that Ikusaba can be a great asset in restoring the world to its former glory.
"Sir...I speak on behalf of us survivors...Ikusaba can be a big help to us..."
"Hmm..."
"Please, sir..."
"I'm not sure...I need to think about this carefully..."
"Believe me...Ikusaba-san has redeemed herself..."
"Please give me time...this is not an easy request you are asking...but I will decide it fairly..."
"Very well..."
"..."
The leader was still unsure about this and he approached the members and had a secret debate, and are discussing on whether to let Ikusaba join Future Foundation or not, and opinion is divided as half of them seemingly accepted Ikusaba while the remaining half are still against her and even suggested that she be executed at once, causing a conflict among themselves.
"...so? Should we let Ikusaba join us...?"
"Hmm...I suppose we should..."
"She helped the survivors to escape..."
"I agree..."
"I disagree...I say we execute her..."
"That's right..."
"She's a remnant after all..."
"She deserves to die..."
The academy students are bracing themselves as they have a feeling that the Future Foundation might reject Ikusaba and Kirigiri whispered to Ohwada and Ohgami to be ready for anything, and as the two fighters are bracing themselves, the Future Foundation members approached them, and the leader spoke to Kirigiri, telling her and the academy students that they reached a vote, and elected to accept Ikusaba as a member, and the students were glad to hear this and Naegi smiled at Ikusaba telling her that hope is here and she should embrace it now there is hope for her to atone for what she has done in the past two years.
"See, Ikusaba-san? I told you that you'll be given a second chance..."
"I..."
"You don't need to feel bad..."
"Naegi-kun..."
"We need you...we need your help...we need to exert efforts in restoring the world back to normal..."
"...alright..."
"Thanks, Ikusaba-san..."
"..."
After that, the leader invited the survivors inside the base and showed to them the rooms that they will be staying, and told them to eat and rest up as tomorrow they are going to commence in restoring hope within Japan, and Taichi, Hiroko and Aloysius glanced at each other, seeing that the teens are going to have their hands full in taking such a huge responsibility and they decided to support them in any way they can.
"Those kids...they really are something..."
"I agree..."
"They have a rough start ahead of them..."
"Then we should help them...so that they can achieve the mission they are being given to them..."
"Yeah...my son needs a lot of support..."
"Then it's settled..."
"Right."
"Then we should give them a hand..."

Several hours later, the scene shows that the academy students were given rooms to stay and are divided to share, and it shows the rooms where each students are using:
- Naegi x Maizono
- Asahina x Ohgami
- Kirigiri x Yui
- Hagakure x Yamada
- Ohwada x Ishimaru x Fujisaki
- Celes x Fukawa x Ikusaba
- Togami x Kuwata
As the others slowly went asleep, the scene shifts to a room where Naegi and Maizono are sharing a bed, and the two talked as they wonder what awaits them tomorrow and wondered if they could really succeed in breaking Enoshima's curse, and he used his optimism to raise her spirit saying that as long as there is hope, everything is possible and he told her that they will bring hope back and save her idol band and her father, and Maizono is touched by Naegi's words.
"Naegi-kun..."
"Have faith, Maizono-san...we can make it happen..."
"..."
"Trust me...we made it this far...and we survived..along with our classmates..."
"You're right..."
"Let's rest...we had a rough day earlier..."
"Okay..."
"Good night..."
Naegi hugged her and she felt at ease, and she embraced him as well until the two teens fell asleep as they finally found some peace after all that has happened in the past few days, and they ate now weighing their hopes in restoring the world and save their loved ones no matter how hard the challenge is put in front of them.
