A security guard hummed to himself as he was reading a magazine, he heard footsteps approach him as he looked up to see Rosa and Nate approaching him. "Ah! Rosa and Nate, what can I do for you two?"
"Dropping off a payload." Rosa said, putting down Ghetsis while Nate backed up to show Kyurem dropping off what was left of Team Plasma and the two Triads.
"Well well well, look who it is." He smirked. "Sorely defeated, are we?"
"You can thank Arceus and the Lake Pokemon for breaking him." Nate said.
"Ha! Now that's more like it. Boys, get the straight jacket ready! Ghetsis ain't goin' anywhere this time!"
Rosa and Nate watched as the security guards put it on Ghetsis and hauled him away while the others put the rest of Team Plasma behind bars.
"Enjoy your time, big boy!" Another said, putting Ghetsis in the newly refurbished padded room and walked off.
"Judgement has passed…" Ghetsis said in a quiet monotone voice with a blank expression on his face. "Judgement has passed… Judgement has passed… Judgement has passed… Judgement has passed…"
Rosa and Nate walked out of the prison, both of them fist bumping each other as Rosa pulled a phone.
"Hey, Hilda. Hilbert. We got Ghetsis back in there."
"Oh, wonderful! Sorry if we couldn't make it with you. Life just got in the way… well, more like the kids are getting to be handfuls and I didn't want to take them to Hisui with us." Hilda admitted. "My hubby didn't want to go either."
"As for me, I got too caught up in research… hahaha… geez… Professor Juniper's a heck of a good professor though."
"We should definitely have a party though. Celebrate Ghetsis's third and final defeat!"
"Oh, I'm so with you there, girlfriend." Rosa smiled. "Alright, see you soon. Tell Cheren I said hi!"
"I will! Hey darling, Rosa says hello!"
"I'll invite Professor Juniper." Hilbert said. "We'll have fun!"
"Yeah!" Nate nodded as Rosa hung up. "Soooo… uh… you got any plans?"
"Well, I'm totally free until the next Pokemon Contest starts… you wanna get ice cream?"
"Sure, I'm down!"
Back at Toad Town…
"Okay, easy does it…" Mikan said, putting Ruby down on the operating table.
"My offer is still on the table." Palutena said.
Mikan froze, closing her eyes as she thought about it. "Okay… we'll give it a shot. But it's really risky."
"It'll just be a quick dip." Palutena told her as Ruby was enveloped by light, as was Mikan, Maria, Tomoe and Strange.
"I'm… still completely unsure about this." Tomoe said.
Palutena walked in. "It's worth a try."
"What are you bozos doing at the Rewind Spri-... ooooh, Ruby with her laughably absurd hips. Carry on!" Hades said.
"...I'd glare at him, but he's not wrong." Ruby mumbled as Palutena lifted Ruby up.
"How potent is this Rewind Spring?" Strange asked.
"It's enough to turn you into nothing if you're in for too long." Palutena said.
"Ah, so like the fabled Fountain of Youth, only it's not all that cracked up to be." He mused.
"In you go!" Palutena dipped Ruby in and then pulled her out a second later. "Aaaaand her hips should be-"
"AAAAAAAUUUUUGH!" Ruby screamed after Palutena let her go. "Gah! Nnngh!"
Mikan scanned her with a portable X-Ray. "Shattered like they used to be!"
"Oh dear…" Palutena grimaced.
Strange blinked. "Wow, that's really potent…"
"Okay, I'm just going to say it. This was a horrible idea." Tomoe said.
"Yeah… it worked out way better in my head." Palutena admitted.
"Dip her in again!" Hades smirked.
Strange opened a portal. "Let's go." He said as they carried Ruby in as Palutena walked in afterwards.
"Hmph. Party poopers!"
Mikan put Ruby back in the operating table right as Mario and Peach walked in. "Oh!" Peach spoke up. "Hello Doctor Strange."
Strange turned to her. "Princess."
"You two know each other?" Maria asked.
Some time ago…
Peach hummed to herself, putting a cake on the shelf right as a portal opened up. "Hmm?" Peach turned to the portal as Umber walked in. "Oh, Umber! That's a strange portal you've created."
"I had help." Umber said, picking Peach up.
"Oh!" Peach yelped. "At least let me decorate the cake first!"
"You have servants." Umber chuckled, walking into the portal and put her in Bowser's cell. "There we go."
"Wait… are you shitting me?" Strange asked. "You summoned me just to kidnap a princess?"
"I mean, technically, since you're my summon, you're part of the Koopa Troop." Umber pointed out.
"I didn't ask for this!"
"Goodness, I've never seen you before." Peach said calmly. "Who are you?"
"Doctor Stephen Strange. …And you're honestly pretty calm about this, your highness."
"Eh, I get kidnapped a lot." Peach said, starting to file her nails while Strange gave Umber the stink eye.
Back in the present…
"Oh yeah, I guess you would be part of the Koopa Troop." Mikan thought aloud.
"I take no pleasure in kidnapping though." Strange said. "What surprises me is that you're awfully cheerful and forgiving after that."
Peach smiled. "Bowser's not so bad when you get to know him."
Strange turned to Mario. "Don't you two beat each other up all the time?"
"It's our thing."
Oh brother… Strange shook his head.
"Wait, where's that Medic guy?" Peach wondered.
"Right now, he's only observing…" Mikan said.
"Guys… I'd… appreciate it if you'd start… this pain is not pleasant…!" Ruby groaned, trying her best not to scream.
Tomoe put a mask over Ruby's mouth. "It's going to be okay, miss Ruby." She said gently as Ruby's eyes grew heavy as she immediately fell asleep.
"Alright… now let's begin." Mikan said. I'm just glad the Rewind Spring didn't take her plant arm away.
In the waiting room…
Everyone sat in the waiting room, Summer anxiously waiting for her daughter to get out of surgery.
Footsteps walked in as they turned to see JINXY, Futaba and Rantaro walk in. "Hey, we just got the news." Nyx said. "She in surgery?"
"Yeah." Weiss nodded. "...Wait, Jade, what happened to your-"
"I got caught in an explosion, did some nerve damage on my arm. I didn't think it was that big of a deal until Strange pointed out that if I didn't get it checked out, I'd permanently lose this arm." Jade explained.
"Yeah, that'll do it…" Cynthia nodded.
"Who's the guy?" Blake asked.
"Rantaro Amami, a pleasure to meet ya! I'm the Ultimate Adventurer and childhood friends to this lady!" He said, referring to Iris.
"Yeah, Kyoko learned about Remnant-born Ultimates and sent everyone everywhere to find them. Iris didn't want to go because of circumstances." Xena explained. "We don't really blame her, but at least she and her cousin made up. We think…"
"It was awkward… at least we got what we came for." Iris mumbled.
At that moment, Winter and Klein walked in. "We heard about the surgery from mom. Is she okay?" Winter asked.
"She's currently in surgery. She's being taken care of." Willow said.
"Ah, wonderful!" Klein smiled. "Oh, that reminds me. There's something we need to show you."
"Hmm?" Weiss looked at him curiously.
"What is it?" Whitley asked.
Winter and Klein looked back at the hallway, nodding. Kirumi walked in shortly after.
Weiss and Whitley gasped, their eyes widened. "A-Aunt Kirumi?!" Weiss said in surprise.
Willow smiled. "I knew Jacques had to be lying…"
"Hello, you two. It's been a while."
BGM: Friends In My Heart (Kingdom Hearts II)
Weiss teared up, before she immediately hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much… I thought you were gone!"
Kirumi smiled. "It will take more than a fake semi truck to take me down." She said, as Whitley hugged her as well. "I missed you all so much…"
"It's so good to see you again…" Whitley said, trying not to cry.
"Both of you have grown up so much…" Kirumi said, her voice breaking as she kissed them both on the heads as Willow walked over.
"Kirumi, it's been so long."
"It certainly has been, Miss Willow." Kirumi nodded, the two embracing as Weiss wiped her tears.
"So this is the famous Ultimate Maid that Willow mentioned to us!" Kali smiled.
At that moment, Chiaki peeked in. "Is she out yet?"
"No, but she's still in surgery." Summer said.
"Oh good, we made it." She said as she, Hajime, Kirby, BB-8 and Elfilin walked/rolled in.
"Whoa, who's the cutie?" Nora asked.
Elfilin blushed. "Aww, she thinks I'm cute! I'm Elfilin, nice to meet ya!"
"It's a long story." Hajime said. "You see-"
"Hah… hah… made it!" A voice said as they turned to see Shantae leaning in the doorway. "I just heard Ruby was in surgery! Glad I got here in time!"
"Aw man, the belly dancer beat us!" Sarge said as he and the Blood Gulch crew walked in as well.
"Oh!" Tucker spotted Cynthia as he immediately moved to her. "Why, hello there, gorgeous! What's your-"
Cynthia immediately called out Garchomp, who immediately glared at him.
"...Aheheheh, message received." Tucker immediately hid behind Grif.
"What are you hiding behind me for?!"
"That's what I thought." Cynthia chuckled.
Pit walked in. "Oh, did I miss the party?"
"Not really." Ozpin said.
"Perfect!" Pit smiled, walking to a chair right as Umber peeked in.
"Ah, I wondered if the party was here." Umber smiled as he walked into the room.
"So, Umber…" Marnie smirked. "What's this I hear about you getting caught up in a custody battle between Dedede and Lord Bowser?"
Umber gave her a deadpanned look. "Did Strange tell you that?"
"He told all of us."
Umber sighed. "It's not so bad. Every week, I'm just switching between kingdoms." He noticed Marnie smirking harder. "...You're not gonna let me live this down, are you?"
"The fact that Dedede kidnapped you potentially in front of Lord Bowser? Ohohoho, I'm gonna hang that over you and Lord Bowser for a long time~!"
Umber sweatdropped. "Great…"
"Oh, don't feel so bad, Umber-chan." Ibuki walked in. "It could be a whole lot worse!"
"Well, I guess…"
"Oh!" Elfilin spoke up. "That reminds me. Umber, your Keyblade can change into any other Keyblade by switching keychains, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
Elfilin smiled. "I made this for ya, but I hadn't gotten around to give it to you." He said, handing it to him as the Keychain was an Elfilin charm.
"A charm in your image. Cute." Umber smiled, summoning his Keyblade and pulling off the Keychain from his Decisive Pumpkin and replaced it with the Elfilin Charm, where his Keyblade instantly changed.
The handle was a golden lion cage, the blade was a building with a purple hue covered in moss, the teeth was a Warpstar and there was also space between the top of the building for the Warpstar to fit.
"Oh wow!" Umber said. "Man, I can't wait to see the Shotlocks on this bad boy!"
"My thoughts exactly!" Futaba said as she, Kirby, Elfilin, Chiaki and Ibuki were examining it closely.
"Holy moly…" Ibuki mused. "This thing looks neat!"
"I'm curious about what the command style and the finisher will look like…" Chiaki said, examining it closely. "Interesting, the reach on this looks pretty decent…"
"Could be powerful too. One way to find out!" Futaba said.
"Now let's see… what to name this thing…" Elfilin mused.
"Poyo!" Kirby suggested.
"Moss Building Star? Nah, too wordy…" Elfilin said.
BB-8 chirped a bit.
"That's tempting…"
"Let's see, we were in a forgotten world… we went into a dream variant of it…" Futaba folded her arms.
"Forgotten Dreams?" Chiaki suggested.
"Rolls off the tongue, honestly! But I wonder if we could do away with the S…" Elfilin said.
"Forgotten Dream. Yeah, I like that!" Umber smiled.
"Hmm…" Ren looked at Futaba. "Hey, Futaba?"
"Hmm?"
"I can't help but notice the orange in your hair is fading."
"Yeah, stopped using the hair dye. Soon I'll be back to black hair."
"I thought the orange was her natural hair color." Yang whispered to Blake.
"Honestly, same."
"That reminds me, how long were we gone anyway?" Tai wondered.
"About a week." A voice said as Loid and Anya walked in with Yatsuhashi and Fox. "We kept things in order."
"Yo!" Coco waved her teammates over.
"Has it been a week? It felt longer…" Steven said.
"Apparently not." Cynthia chuckled as Luigi and Daisy walked in.
"We heard the news. Is she okay?" Luigi asked.
"She's going to be." Summer said.
"So how'd it happen? She got ran over by a train or something?" Epsilon asked.
"Ibuki can answer that. You see-"
Outside the hospital…
"Hmhmhm~" Captain Toad walked by.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
"I'd like a fudge brownie!" Caboose said.
"...I don't want to know." Captain Toad said.
Back inside…
"What are you guys upset over?" Shantae asked while Loid covered Anya's ears. "It sounds like something your doctor would do!"
"...You're not wrong, but I'm not gonna have that guy operate on me!" Epsilon said.
"You're an AI!" Simmons said.
"I ain't taking any chances!"
Ding!
Everyone turned to the doorway as Mikan walked on. "Her hips are back to normal!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Though I recommend family go in first before everyone else does first."
Inside a room…
"Mmm…" Ruby woke up to see Strange fixing her up. "Oh gosh, don't tell me I woke up in the-"
"You're fine. I'm just adding in the finishing touches so your recovery will go faster."
"Oh good… wait, can't you use your magic to re-extend my life?"
"That's the thing. After your surgery was done, I used my magic to see if I could extend your life. However, I learned this the hard way because the Rewind Spring took care of that. Your plant arm added twenty years to your life… and with my magic, you unwittingly got an additional… two hundred years."
"...I'm gonna be a very old lady…" Ruby sweatdropped.
"Well, look on the bright side. You're dating an angel so it works out. Plus, who knows, maybe your life will extend more when you marry him later down the road…"
"Yeah." Ruby said. "Still, the thought of outliving everyone is gonna be… heartbreaking."
"It is what it is." He said as the family walked in.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Tai asked.
"A lot better. Way better… like I'm gonna live a long as heck life." Ruby said.
"Yeah, the Rewind Spring got rid of that short life expectancy without any of us knowing about it and I extended two hundred years to her life by accident. The plant arm gave her twenty and I… added more to it unintentionally."
"Holy moly…" Yang's eyes widened before smiling. "Dang girl! Ya sure know how to one up your older sister!" She teased.
"Yang…" Ruby giggled.
"Alright… if there's no need for me anymore, I'll be on my way. Tell Umber I said hi." He said, opening up a portal and walking in, closing it behind him.
"Strange?"
"Ah, hello Wong."
"Where have you been?" He then spotted the Eye of Agamotto around his neck. "What is that?" He asked as he sniffed the air. "And why do you smell like chicken salad?"
"You might want to sit down and get comfortable, it's a long story."
Back with them…
"I'm glad I don't feel like a freak anymore." Ruby said, looking at her plant arm. "I mean, I still have this, but hey, I'll take this over the elephant hips." She giggled.
"I would too." Byleth chuckled.
Ruby looked around. "...Wait, hang on a moment. Where's Oran?"
"Kala took him outside." Summer said.
"Aaaah, I got ya."
End BGM
Outside…
"So mom, what did you want to talk about?"
Kala sighed. ["There is something I should have told you years ago, but never had the guts to do it."]
"What is it?"
["Before I met you, I had been captured by poachers along with some other Pokemon and… let's just say it wasn't a fun experience."]
"Why tell me this?"
["Because this last adventure, I was scared out of my mind. That mad man reminded me too much of those poachers… also hearing what happened after we came back from the past and you let me out of the Pokeball did not help."]
Oran rubbed his head sheepishly. "Yeah, sorry about that…"
["It's fine, but I'm telling you this because I was scared to show you being weak in front of you. All that time in the wild together, I was the one who took care of and protected you, and I could not bear you seeing the person who took care of you being scared."]
Oran gave Kala a hug. "That's okay. I wouldn't think any less of you."
["Even with the fact that the fear led to me making the choice to have us continue to live in the wild?"]
"I don't mind that. I loved living in the wild with you."
Kala chuckled. ["You're too sweet sometimes, you know that?"]
"I know." Oran smiled as he felt something land on his shell. "Uh… did something land on my shell?"
Kala looked to see a Rowlet had landed on his shell. ["It seems to be a Rowlet."]
Oran let go and turned to him. "Oh, hey there little buddy. Did you think my shell was a nesting spot?"
"Not exactly."
Oran turned to see Dialga approaching him. "Huh? Dialga? What are you doing here?"
"That Rowlet is one of many Pokemon from the Hisuian age that ended up in the future because of what happened. It's my job to send them back and keep things in order."
"But do they have to be sent back? It's not like bringing Pokemon from the past to the future will cause the same amount of damage as doing stuff to the past."
["He does have a point, and some of our friends and family took Pokemon with them from the past."]
Dialga thought about it. "...You do make a good point. Arceus always did tell me to ease up." He closed his eyes before nodding. "You wouldn't mind taking care of that Rowlet, would you?" He asked as the Rowlet started to nestle into his shell.
"I don't think there's much of a choice." He chuckled.
Dialga nodded. "Good luck then." He said as he walked off.
"Thank you, Mister Dialga." He petted the Rowlet on the shell. "I'm sure we'll be good friends, you and I." He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I think I'll call you Robin, like the archer in the books." He walked back to the hospital with Kala. "By the way, did you ever catch the name of that poacher?"
["I think his name was Rico or something…"]
"Oh, well, you don't have to worry at all. I think I heard Mister Mario once mentioned someone by that name being sent to the Distortion World."
Meanwhile, with Rodin…
"How's my favorite witch doing?" Rodin asked as he walked into her room.
"The headache's finally gone." Bayonetta said, putting the ice pack away. "Although if I ever do another universe hopping adventure and meeting my past and future self again, it'd be too soon.
"Perhaps this will cheer you up." Rodin said as the six Alpha Piplup walked in.
"Oh, good heavens!" She said with an amused chuckle as the Piplup crowded her as she petted every single one.
"Lift your spirits up?"
"Honestly, yes. I think I needed to pet a few penguins."
Rodin chuckled. "You're welcome."
Back in Ruby's room…
"Oh wow!" Ruby said as Umber was in her room.
"Yeah! Meet the TMNT and Jack Skellington, my other summons!"
"Sup!" Michelangelo said.
"Yo." Raphael greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Ruby." Leonardo said.
"Pleasure to meet ya." Donatello smiled.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ruby! I'm the pumpkin king in my world!"
"Oh, so you like to decorate for Halloween?"
"Of course!"
An idea came over her. "Hey… you think you could do something special for me?" Ruby asked.
"Hmm?"
"You see, my birthday is in October…"
"Uh-huh…"
"Aaaand I just so happened to be born on Halloween."
"Halloween is on your birthday, hmm? Well, that's very good to kno-" He paused. "Wait, your birthday is on Halloween?! Oh my goodness, we absolutely must have a party on that day, and I don't just mean a Halloween party!"
He turned to the calendar. "What is the date… April sixteenth! I have plenty of time to make something absolutely wonderful for that day!"
"...What the shell did you just do?" Raphael asked. "I think you set off a ticking time bomb!"
"Oh, the ideas are pouring into my head! I must head back to Halloween town! We've not a moment to lose! Umber, take me back, I must get started on this!"
"You got it!" Umber said, sending him away.
"...Well, that was something." Leonardo said.
Ruby grinned. "I got something to look forward to on my birthday. Awesome~!"
Later that night…
Ruby walked through the night in Toad Town, humming to herself as she saw Summer sitting alone at the park, looking at the stars. "Mom?" She walked over to her. "Hey mom!"
"Hmm? Oh hey honey…"
"Where's everyone else?"
"Well, Yang went to Vale to drop off that Cyndaquil for Magnolia. Everyone else decided to head back home… I just decided to hang back for a while."
"Ah." Ruby looked up ahead. "Wait, is that Anya riding on Arceus?"
"Yeah, I told Loid I'd keep an eye on her."
"Jump over that hurdle, horsey!" Anya smiled.
"That big ol' hurdle? Not a problem!" Arceus laughed as he jumped over a hurdle with ease, letting out a playful 'winny', causing Anya to cheer happily.
"Never thought I'd see a god put his ego to the side to let out a horse whinny." Ruby chuckled in amusement.
"I know, it's so adorable." Summer giggled.
"Just think… in a few days, dad and Rosie are gonna get married."
Summer frowned. "Yeah…" She pulled her legs close to her. "Listen, Ruby… there's something I need to tell you…"
"What is it?"
BGM: Roxas (Kingdom Hearts II)
"You know how I've been spending a long time with everyone, including you? How I said I'd only stay until Dark Ruby died and then I'd leave? Only I extended it to make sure you were back on your feet?"
"Of course." Ruby nodded as it dawned on her. "Oh… you're… gonna leave after the wedding, aren't you?"
"Yeah…" Summer nodded. "I was given a choice to bring myself back to life, but I used that up to bring you back to life, because a mother would do anything for their kids, even if it means using up that second chance."
"I know…"
"The truth is though… I'm scared." Summer admitted. "I… I came back and everyone was so happy, they were happy to see me back and… I swear, it's like if I leave, it'll just destroy them. I became too attached to everyone. I spoke with Ozpin about it when we were in Hisui."
"I…" Ruby looked away. "I'm afraid too. Ozpin asked me if I'd be okay if you left."
"What'd you say?"
"I said you deserved it… but… I'm scared." She admitted. "I'm… just worried that when you leave, there'll be a hole in my heart that will never leave…"
"Ruby…"
"It's just… we've bonded for so long, we had an opportunity and we used it, we became so close… you're my best friend, mom. I'd be happy to see you leave and finally get your rest but…" She teared up. "I don't know if I'm ready…"
"I don't know if I'm ready either." Summer admitted as she grabbed her hand, tears swelling in her eyes. "Let's make the most of it until then, alright? I want to spend as much time as possible with you as well."
"Okay…" Ruby nodded, leaning into her shoulder. "I love you…"
"I love you too, baby girl…"
End BGM
Meanwhile, with Pyrrha…
"Pyrrha!" N called out to her as Pyrrha turned around.
"Oh hello, N. What is it?"
"I'm about to head back to Unova, but I wanted to give something to you." He said, handing her a Pokeball.
"What's this?"
"It's Revavroom."
Pyrrha's eyes widened. "You're… giving me Revavroom?"
N smiled. "Yes. With your semblance, you could make Revavroom an incredible Pokemon to have."
"Are… are you sure about this?"
N nodded. "I am."
Pyrrha stared at him before nodding. "Okay. I'll take good care of him."
"Thank you." N smiled and turned around, walking away. "See ya later." He waved.
"See you later, N." Pyrrha smiled.
A few days later, AKA the wedding day… in space!
Rosalina checked herself out in the mirror in the bedroom dome. "I can't believe it… today's the day…" She said as she closed her eyes, smiling. She clutched her hands together. "...is this… is this what it's like to have butterflies…"
"You'll be fine, Rosie-chan." Ibuki smiled, leaning in the doorway. "You're gonna be a spectacular wife!"
"I know…" Rosalina smiled. "I've waited a thousand years for a moment like this… and it still feels surreal that I'm about to get married to the love of my life."
Ibuki smiled. "You ready?"
Rosalina took a deep breath, exhaling deeply. "I'm ready."
"Let's get you married, girlfriend!" She gently took her hand.
BGM: A Thousand Years (Christina Perri)
With a nod, Rosalina walked out with her, Ibuki guiding her on the way. They both took a teleporter near the library and walked toward another teleporter, heading into The Gateway dome.
Once they walked out of the building, several Lumas began chirping and scattered flowers all around the tower. Everything around them was decorated to look like Hisui.
Tai was at the top, looking over at the Team Galaxy hall they made. Qrow immediately elbowed him to catch his attention as he turned to see Rosalina approaching him. Her dress was dark blue with the northern lights decorating it as she also had a diamond tiara over her bangs.
"Wow…" He said in awe.
"You picked a good one." Qrow playfully elbowed him as Rosalina made it to Tai, where Ibuki hugged her and then stepped to the side to be with Peach and Daisy.
"Ahem…" Polari cleared his throat as everyone sat down. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the momentous occasion of Taiyang Xiao Long marrying the love of his life-" Polari fought back his tears. "Ro-Ro-Rosalina F-Faye!"
Polari cleared his throat. "Keep it together. If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace…"
"Waaaah, I object!"
"Anyone besides Waluigi?"
Waluigi pouted, folding his arms.
"It was never going to work out. She was way out of your league." Wario said, patting him on the shoulder.
"Anywho, Taiyang. Do you take Rosalina to be your lawfully wedded wife until death do you part?"
"I do."
"And do you, Rosalina-" Polari's voice broke again. "T-Take Ta-Tai to be your lawfully we-wedded husband until death d-do you pa-part?"
Rosalina smiled, her eyes swelling with happy tears. "I do…"
"By the pow-power vested in me… I pronounce you… huh-huh-husband and wuh-wife… you may… you may now kiss the bri-hi-hiiiide!" Polari sobbed uncontrollably as Tai wrapped his arms around Rosalina, both of them closing their eyes as they both kissed each other with everyone clapping and cheering.
"Oh gosh, Ibuki promised herself she wouldn't cry…!" Ibuki fanned herself as a Luma handed over the rings, both of them putting the rings on their fingers right after.
"I love you." Tai said.
"I love you too~" Rosalina smiled, shedding a few happy tears.
Later, during the wedding reception…
"Hmm?" Ruby noticed one of the wedding presents. "Open immediately after the kiss?" She wondered.
"Oh!" Ibuki exclaimed as they were eating cake. She immediately picked the present up and headed over to Rosalina. "Rosie-chan~!"
"Hmm?" Rosalina turned to her. "What is it?"
"Ibuki knows it's tradition that you open up the presents after the wedding reception, but Ibuki's too excited and wanted you to open this one."
"Oh, I suppose it wouldn't hurt." Rosalina immediately opened it up. She immediately gasped in surprise as she pulled out her storybook. "My storybook?!"
"Yeah, Ibuki worked hard on it. She could've used new paper, but she wanted it to be completely restored, so Palu-chan worked her magic before it was burnt to a crisp. She completely restored it, piece by piece! Palu-chan and Adaleine-chan helped too. Although…" Ibuki showed off the cuts on her hand. "Don't think Ibuki's gonna be playing her guitar anytime soon… ehehehe…"
"Oh, Ibuki…" Rosalina teared up and hugged her tightly. "I love it… thank you!"
Ibuki smiled, hugging her back. "Love you, Rosie-chan!"
"I love you too, Ibuki…" Rosalina sniffled with a smile on her face.
Nearby, Mahiru was taking pictures of the wedding as she turned over to Mine and Kotoko. "How's the videography holding up?" She asked.
"Oh, we got plenty of footage!" Mine smiled, fist bumping Kotoko.
Mahiru smiled. "Perfect."
Summer watched the happy newlyweds get up and danced together. She smiled, a tear running down her cheek. "I'm happy for you. Both of you."
End BGM
Hours later, after the wedding…
"I'm telling ya, having three moms here is gonna be confusing." Yang said.
"I seriously doubt that." Byleth said.
"Oh yeah? Hey mom!"
Summer turned around from staring at the window. "Yes?"
Raven looked up from her book that she was reading. "Yeah?"
Rosalina leaned out of the doorway in the kitchen. "Need something, honey?"
Yang turned to Byleth. "See?"
Byleth sweatdropped. "Okay, I see your point."
"Oh please, at least they know who I'm talking about!" Ruby smiled. "Right, mom?"
"Yes." Summer nodded.
"Of course!" Rosalina smiled.
Palutena dropped in via a heavenly light. "Need me, hon?"
Ruby sweatdropped. "You did that on purpose, didn't you…?"
"Maybe~"
Ozpin chuckled, leaning on a wall while munching on a cookie. "Surely, this will iron out in no time."
"Probably not…" Mavis giggled.
Summer looked at the moon, frowning. "It's time…" She said as she walked through the wall.
"Mom…" Ruby whispered as she ran after her.
"Huh? Ruby?" Byleth wondered.
Ozpin closed his eyes. "It's time…"
BGM: Home (RWBY)
Ruby immediately ran through the woods, using her semblance to cut through them in an instant, running.
"Please don't be gone, please don't be gone, please don't be gone…"
Ruby stopped running the moment she got to her grave. "Mom? Mom! MOOOOOM!" She called out to her, but she didn't answer.
Ruby teared up. "Did she… did she already leave?" Tears streamed down her face. "She left without saying goodbye…"
"Ruby?"
Ruby turned her head, seeing Summer approach her. "Mom?"
"I'm surprised you actually beat me here."
Ruby blushed in embarrassment. "Oh…"
"I wasn't going to leave without saying goodbye, I was actually hoping you would come to see me one final time."
A portal opened up behind Summer as she turned to see Raven walking out along with the entire family, Ozpin and Mavis.
Palutena emerged from a pillar of light. "I decided to bring some friends over too." She said as the Belladonnas, Schnees, JNPR, Gloria, Pit, Ibuki and Chiaki came out.
"Oh, you all came to see me off…" Summer said with a smile before frowning.
"Hey, Sums." Raven put her hands on her shoulders. "We're going to be okay."
"You… actually are?"
"It's sad that you're leaving, but you helped us stick together." Raven said. "I'm not leaving anybody." She hugged her as Summer hugged her back.
"We're gonna be fine." Qrow said as the two hugged, and then Tai and Summer hugged.
"Love you, Tai…"
"Love you too…"
Summer then hugged Rosalina. "Take care of them, okay?"
"I will." Rosalina smiled sweetly as Summer went to hug Byleth, Bereto, Dorothea, Zhang, Luce, Loid, Anya… then she hugged Yang.
"Don't have too much fun without me, my sunny little dragon."
"Gonna be hard not to." Yang chuckled as Summer went off to hug the others.
"We'll miss you." Willow said.
"It's going to be lonely without you." Kali said as Ghira hugged Summer next, then she hugged JNPR, Gloria, Ibuki, Chiaki and then hugged Palutena and Pit.
"Take care, Summer." Pit said.
"We'll take care of Ruby." Palutena softly said.
"I know." Summer smiled as she went to hug Zwei and the other pets before turning to Oran who was trying his hardest not to cry.
"Hey sweetie, come here." She picked up Oran and held him close. "You knew this was coming, right?"
"I know, I'm just going to miss you a lot."
"I'll miss you too, kiddo. Just remember what we talked about a few weeks ago."
Several weeks earlier…
Summer and Oran were busy making chocolate chip cookies, Summer keeping an eye on any snatchers who would dare to try to snag some cookie dough.
"And with the final touches added, you can put the tray in the oven." Oran put it in. "Excellent job!"
"Thanks, mom." Oran said, and then he gasped, putting his hands over his mouth over the slip up.
Summer frowned and then turned the oven on. "Rosie, think you could watch the oven for a bit?"
"Certainly." Rosalina walked in, putting a force field around the kitchen to keep any cookie thieves at bay.
Summer took his hand. "Come on, we're going for a walk."
As they walked, they would soon find themselves at the cliffside with Summer's gravestone. Summer sat down with Oran quickly joining her.
"So, you want to talk about it?" She asked after some silence. He didn't respond. "Very well. I'll just say it, since I know what's going on."
"You do?"
"Yes, because I've had similar conversations with most of the rest of the family. You're scared that by growing close to someone else that you'll disrespect the memory of your parents, is that it?"
"Kinda. I don't want to disrespect their memory by replacing them."
"See, that's where you're wrong. You're not replacing them, they will always be your parents. And nothing, not even you getting taken in by different people, is going to change that."
"How do you know for sure?"
"Because I speak from experience. You think that seeing Ruby look up to Rosie and Palutena as mother figures for her saddens me or angers me? No, of course not, I couldn't be happier to know she is doing okay and has people to take care of her and guide her through difficult times. And I think it's the sake with your parents. I'm sure they're very happy to know you're being taken care of, and have people step up when they became unable to do so."
"But…"
"Oran, you experienced a horrible loss when you were young, something no person should have to go through. But don't let that make you afraid to get close to someone. You need to learn to love again, open your heart to others. Because you try not to act like it affects you, but I've heard you calling out to your parents in your sleep plenty of times. So please, believe me when I say this, they won't mind. You'll learn to accept what happened, but you won't forget them."
The two sat there in silence, until Oran moved closer to her and leaned on her side, Summer wrapping her arm around him.
"I may not have been your birth mother, but I still love you all the same."
"I know."
Back in the present…
"Now, dry those tears of yours. I may leave, but I'll live in your heart."
Oran gave her one last hug. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too." Summer kissed him on the forehead.
Summer then turned to hug Ozpin. "Thank you for everything… professor."
"It's been an honor… Mrs. Rose." Ozpin smiled as Summer pulled away as she and Mavis hugged as well.

Summer turned to Ruby, who was trying her hardest to keep it together. "Ruby…"
"M-mom…" Ruby sniffled, as tears swelled in her eyes. Summer's eyes filled with tears as well, both of them embracing immediately as they both cried into their shoulders.
"I'll miss you…" Ruby sobbed.
"I'll miss you too…" Summer cried.
The two held each other in their arms for a full minute.
"Okay, I'm ready…" Ruby said. "I… I release you…"
BGM: Indomitable (RWBY) (Start at 3:38)
Summer smiled, caressing her cheek and kissed her on the forehead as she walked over to her grave right as Morpho Knight landed on the grave.
"You ready to go?" Morpho asked.
"I'm ready."
Summer immediately took one last look at her family as Morpho put his hand on her shoulder, as she started to fade away in light.
Summer looked directly at Ruby. "I love you."
More tears streamed down her cheeks. "I love you too…!" She sobbed as Summer disappeared into light. Ruby's legs quickly buckled as she fell on her knees.
"Awoooooooo!" Zwei immediately howled into the sky along with Grim and Alexander.
"Zwei, stop, you're gonna make me cry…!" Weiss's voice broke as she started crying as Blake and Winter hugged her closely.
"I miss you already, Sums…" Raven said, a tear running down her cheek.
Rosalina walked over to the crying Ruby, wrapping her into a loving hug. "I know I won't be able to fix this hole in your heart, as I won't replace your birth mother… but know that she still loves you, as will I."
"I… I know…" Ruby sniffled, turning around to face her. "It's just… I already miss her so much…"
Rosalina kissed her on the forehead. "C'mere." She pulled her in close, rubbing her back as her siblings came over and hugged her as well, then the rest of her family joined her.
One by one, they parted as Gloria, Ibuki, Chiaki, Pit, Palutena, WBY and JNPR hugged her in comfort as well.
End BGM
A few minutes later…
Rosalina still held Ruby close to her at the gravestone. "I'm going to have to leave for my honeymoon soon." She said as she looked her in the eyes. "Will you be fine without me?"
"Yeah… I'll have everyone else to keep ly company." She said, kissing her on the cheek. "Thank you for keeping me company… mom." She gave her a sad smile.
Rosalina smiled, standing up. "Come on, let's head home together… my daughter." She said as Ruby nodded, standing up with her as Ruby took one last look at Summer's gravestone.
"Thank you for everything." She whispered as she walked home with Rosalina wrapped her arm around her.
Once they got home, Rosalina kissed her daughter on the cheek as she walked to the Observatory. "We'll be back before you know it." She said and hopped into the Observatory ad Tai waved goodbye, then the Observatory roared to life, lifting off the ground and flying off into space.
"Hey."
Ruby turned around, seeing Byleth in front of her. "You wanna play a game together? It might help you get your mind off things."
"Okay." Ruby nodded.
"Come on, we'll be on a team. We'll kick Dorothea and Yang's butt together."
"I heard that, dear!"
"Oh, you guys are going down!"
Byleth smiled. "What do you say?"
Ruby formed a smile. "Yeah, I would love that."
One week later…
"Are all preparations accounted for?" Wizzro asked.
"Yes." Ghirahim nodded. "The bait has been set. Now we strike."
"Excellent."
"You guys have your fun, I'll be here." Dimentio said.
"Good. We'll come back victorious unlike you." Ghirahim chuckled, teleporting away with Wizzro.
Dimentio smirked. "When you come back, I'll be stronger than ever." He started to walk away. "Time to make arrangements with Maleficent~"
Meanwhile, in Hyrule…
"Zelda? Zelda!" Young Link walked around with a letter in his hand.
"Dear Link, come meet me at Hyrule. It's been so long since we've seen each other. I miss you! - Zelda.
PS: Bring your Ocarina! I want to teach you a new song!"
"Am I at the wrong spot…?" He wondered, when suddenly he felt something stick to his back. "Nnngh!" He grunted, as suddenly he felt more things strike his back.
Young Link fell over on his stomach, blades impaling his back.
Ghirahim walked over, picking up the Ocarina of Time and smirked, chuckling with Wizzro.
"Let's bring an old friend to this era. And this time, we do it properly. Ready, Wizzro?"
"Let's do this." Wizzro chuckled evilly.
Ghirahim smirked. "We're coming for you, Lord Demise." He said, putting the Ocarina to his mouth and started to play the Song of Time, warping the two of them away.
"Mmmph!" Lana suddenly grunted.
"What's wrong, sis?" Cia asked.
"...I feel as if something horrible just happened. We need to stop this now!"
Top Secret Story Unlocked!
To Be Continued in: ATMC: Skyward Sword
Post Credit Scene #1!
In Summer's room, multiple pictures and memorabilia of her was placed in her room, as it was turned into a shrine dedicated to her.
Oran placed a pendant on the mat, then backing away. "You think she'll like it?"
Ruby smiled, wrapping her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. "I think she already does."
Post Credit Scene #2!
Out in the middle of space, Rosalina and Tai were underneath the covers, both of them topless.
Tai was already snoozing while Rosalina read her storybook for old time's sake.
"This is my family now, and I will stay with them until they're ready to leave the nest. And when they do leave, I'll see them off with a smile." "Because that's what makes a mother happiest."
That night, when the girl lay down to sleep, a soft light enveloped her and reminded her of the blue planet she once called home. "But it would be nice to return home once every one hundred years to nap in my favorite sleeping nook."
The comet carrying the Lumas and the girl continues on its journey to this very day. With more "family members" in tow than can be counted, it's said that the comet visits the girl's home planet once every hundred years, its proud white tail glittering in the sky.
Rosalina smiled, flipping the page, expecting to see "The End".
Chapter 10 - A Millennium Later
Written by Ibuki
Edited by Palutena
Illustrates by Adaleine
"Huh?" Rosalina wondered.
"We decided to add just a little more to the story. Surprise! - Ibuki"
Rosalina immediately flipped the page.
BGM: Family (Super Mario Galaxy)
She would see an illustration of Rosalina being attacked by Bowser, Cinder's group and Eggman.
"The girl, now a beautiful woman, was suddenly attacked by a few people. A giant Koopa King, mercenaries and an evil doctor. They quickly overwhelmed her and took the Grand Stars for their nefarious purposes. What they wanted? To build an empire with only seven Grand Stars."
She flipped the page again, this time Rosalina with Ruby and the gang, Ibuki playing her guitar in the background.
"She soon found help with a group that had fought this Koopa King before. Plumbers, huntsman and huntresses, hedgehogs, mercenaries, a dancer and a rambunctious metal head? Oh my! They all helped her gather the Grand Stars. She was also surprisingly good at Guitar Hero… especially when she played Through the Fire and Flames as a warm up song. She did it flawlessly!"
Rosalina flipped the page, now seeing an illustration of Rosalina hugging Ruby with Summer behind her.
"Later on, the woman grew an attachment to a certain red head. When all seven Grand Stars were gathered and fought the Koopa King, the universe collapsed! However, she restored the universe and decided to stick around to be with the red head. Little did she know that her life would change immensely…"
Chapter 11 - Love
An illustration showed Rosalina at her home with the other gods, all of them arguing with the God's of Light and Darkness.
"The woman visited her old home, giving it a fixer upper. She was then greeted by the gods of light and darkness. Other gods crowded her room and chewed them out for their ways. "Enough!" The woman says as she convinces them to think differently, which they actually heed her advice, thank goodness!"
The page then flipped to Rosalina and Tai at a bowling alley.
"Later, presumably after the woman fared against a cold tundra, she soon meets a young man at the grocery store. They talk, and they soon go on a date. Their first date? Bowling!"
"Bet you can't beat my high score of two hundred and ten!" The man teases."
"Oh, we shall see about that."
"The two bowled throughout the night, doing a few games. Time and time again, the woman beat his score. Two hundred fifteen, two hundred seventy, two hundred fifty… she even got a perfect game at one point when he only had a score of one hundred and fifty."
"You got lucky." The man laughs as the woman laughs with him. "Shall we do this again sometime?"
"I would love that." The woman replies with a happy smile on her face."
The page flipped and an illustration showed off Rosalina fighting Raven Beak.
"Weeks pass, as the woman went on lots of adventures. Space traveling with SPBRR, fighting against a dragon and a blueberry try hard, her first kiss with her boyfriend, having a rough encounter with a mean ol' Chozo, stopping a corrupt organization with her team, stopping another try hard from destroying her surrogate daughter… it was one adventure after another!"
Another page flipped, showing Tai proposing to Rosalina on an island.
"Then, when all seemed to settle down and on a vacation that went south for a while, the man finally pops the question."
"Rosalina, will you marry me?"
"The woman was speechless, unsure of what to say, until these words came out of her mouth…"
"I will!"
The page flipped once more, showing off a telescope in front of a home.
"What? You thought this was the end? The story will never end for this lovely cosmic woman! You rock!"
Rosalina was beside herself, giggling with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I love you too, metalhead…" She whispered, closing her book and hugging it close to her.
She put the book away, turning off the light and wrapping her arm around her husband, closing her eyes.

Post Credit Scene #3!
"Wait wait wait, time out. You were sucked up by a pink marshmallow that toom your powers?" Wong asked.
"Believe me, you have to see it to believe it."
"Prove it."
Strange smirked. "Gladly."
He opened up a portal and walked in with Wong.
"Hmm?" Umber turned his head.
"Hey kid, do you know where Kirby is?"
"Last I checked, he was at the Smash Mansion."
"Thanks." Strange nodded. "Oh, by the way. Umber, this is Wong. Wong, Umber."
"Hi there." Umber waved.
"...Hi." Wong said, looking at Strange in surprise. "So you were telling the truth."
"Oh, just you wait." He said as he walked into another portal with Wong behind him.
"Poyo?" Kirby looked at the portal curiously as Strange and Wong walked out.
"Hey little guy. Think you could suck me up? Wong's having a hard time believing me."
"Poyo!" Kirby sucked Strange up, then spat him out. "Poyo!"
Wong's eyes widened. "I can't believe it…"
Strange got up, dusting himself off. "Now do you believe me?"
"I do."
"Strange!" Cable approached him. "We have a situation."
"...Who are you?"
"I'm Cable. Deadpool's acquaintance."
"Ah, I'm so sorry. Also, I can't help but notice you sound like Thanos."
"I get that a lot. But never mind then. You are aware that Deadpool put us in as Assist Trophies, right?"
"...I'm sorry, he did what?"
"You heard me."
"...Wong, wait right here. Cable and I are gonna have a little talk with Wade." The two of them walked off.
Wong chuckled. "Or…"
Five seconds later…
BGM: Livin' La Vida Loca (Shrek 2)
"Uno, dos, quatro, HIT IT!" Shang-chi yelled as he, Katy and Wong were at a karaoke bar.
"She's into superstition, black cats and voodoo dolls~ Sing it, Katy!" Wong sang.
"I feel a premonition~ That girl's gonna make me fall~ Here we go!"
Shang-Chi sang next. "She's into new sensations~ New kicks and candlelights~ She's got a new addiction for every day and night~"
Wong picked up after him. "She'll make you take your clothes off and dancing in the rain~!"
Katy started to sing with Wong. "She'll make you live her crazy life~ But she'll take away your pain~ Like a bullet to your braaaain~!"
All three started to sing now. "Upside in out, livin' la vida loca~ She'll push and pull you down~ livin la vida loca~ Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color of mocha~ She will wear you out~ livin la vida loca~ livin la vida loca~ She's living the vida loca~!"
Yoshi, you have the wildest ideas.
Ibuki: She's not complaining! *hears an "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" from Deadpool" Think he'll be okay?
It's Deadpool, he'll be fine.
Ibuki: True!
