"Another Gun Shot! I heard it, did you guys?!" Rainbow said.
"Yeah, what the hell is going on out there?!" Ross asked. "Though that's sort of the hot topic right now!" he said pointing to Shizuo and Izaya fighting.
"That guy gotta death wish or something?" Rokujo asked.
"Izaya doesn't care if he dies. He wants society to reject Shizuo. If he beats him, cool. If he dies, then Shizuo's a murderer along with those guys with him. Either way, he gets his way." Aoba said.
"You sound like you know him." Rokujo said.
"He and I are two of a kind." Aoba said.
While they fought, in Russia Sushi, flash grenades were going off as the people inside were finally going against the Saika Zombies. The flashes distracted Izaya for a split second before Shizuo was able to get some clean hits in, sending Izaya tumbling. Shizuo then went to grab the vending machine to finish it.
"Shizuo, no! This is just what he wants!" Korra said.
"Hehe. Do it. You mon…" Izaya began before a knife was tossed into his side.
"Huh?" Hope asked. "A throwing knife?"
Looking to the side, they saw Varona there as she drew a gun.
"Varona." Shizuo said.
"You are human, Shizuo. This jumper beast...not human." Varona said.
"Don't do it. Killing him ain't gonna do ya no good." Shizuo said.
"Don't worry about me. Since child, have always loved to kill. I am beast." Varona said.
"You're so not a beast. You're just a human. An ordinary…" Izaya said weakly.
"Hey, guys! Isn't that Shizuo and the gang?" Natsu asked as they fought the zombies.
"I think it is!" Dan said.
Simon the tossed a flash grenade their way, making a large flash. As the fighting was beginning to escalate, it then started to rain a darkness from the sky as everything began to black out.
On the rooftops, Mikado was somewhat awakening as the bullet was removed by darkness as was the one fired into Masaomi. They were covered in a strange shadowy substance before looking upon a figure sitting upon a headless horse. It was Celty.
"You're Celty..aren't you?" Mikado asked.
"Your name is Mikado. Is that correct human? Do not take my existence here as there is hope for you after death. The presence of my body in this city has had some influence on you. So I am undoing all the trouble it has caused the people here. But to you, I have parting words." Celty said.
"You're leaving? But…" Mikado began.
"Mikado!" Anri shouted as she and the David group made it to the rooftop.
The group on the ground soon regained consciousness as they saw shadowy stuff immobilizing the Saika Zombies as well as the Blue Squares and Dollars. They then saw an unconscious Varona near Simon.
"Varona!" Sanji said.
"She's fine, da. But when she wake, I make nice pot green tea." Simon said.
"Why the hell she do that?" Shizuo asked.
"If you ask me...she did it to keep your ass from going to jail for murder." Tom said.
"Varona...I'm sorry. I'm still not as strong as I should be." Shizuo said. "What a mess. Did Celty do all this?" he wondered as they saw Shinra going into a nearby building. "Shinra."
On the rooftop…
"While my body was here, it cause a chain of events here that were never meant to happen. Same with my head. Therefore, I must leave this city and return to hy homeland." Celty said. "My presence here has caused nothing but disruption. To this city and all its inhabitants. For that I must leave."
"Wait...you can't leave! You saved lots of people here!" Twilight said.
"I am a system, not a savior. I serve a higher purpose, to inform the chosen of their incoming demise. I would not expect humans to understand what that means. Or if you do... you wouldn't comprehend it. My obligation here has ended." Celty said.
"You were never that good at lying Celty." a voice said as Shooter stopped.
"What's wrong, Shooter? Get going." Celty said.
"I think what you really mean is "Go Shooter. Before everyone realizes I've been faking it this whole time." Right?" Shinra said.
"And who are you, human?" Celty asked.
"I think you mean "Why are you here? Seeing you here just makes my departure more painful. I thought if I acted like I forgot everything, then it wouldn't hurt." Shinra said.
"What are you speaking of human?" Celty said.
"I'm sure you've gotten your former memories back, but there's something else. You haven't forgotten your life here with me in this city." Shinra said.
"How ridiculous." Celty said.
"That's a dead giveaway. Your kindness shining through. Come on Celty. Don't be like that." Shinra said.
"Silence human. I've had enough of your prattling." Celty said wrapping Shinra in darkness. "Go on, Shooter! Go!"
Shooter soon gave up as he rode off across the sky slowly.
"The hell was that?" Shizuo said just arriving. "Wait, was that Celty?"
"It was indeed. Good timing." Shinra said.
"Yeah. I saw you come up here so I followed you." Shizuo said. "What's happened?"
"This and that. But now...you're gonna help me be the bad guy." Shinra said.
"Shinra… What are you saying?" David asked.
"A promise made back in high school. I have to do something incredibly cruel to Celty. She's the kindest I know. So she'll forgive me. Well, I'm ready. Kick my ass into orbit." Shinra said.
"Well...here goes. Don't blame me for doing this!" Shizuo said swinging Shinra around before tossing him into the open sky.
Celty rode across the sky with Shooter.
"Don't be grumpy Shooter. It had to end like this. If I continued living with them, it would only end in more heartbreak. I'll always remember him." Celty said before Shinra shot past her. "Huh? What the hell? Why are you up here?!" Celty said as she rode after him and held a hand out. "Grab on!"
"Celty...I'm sorry for doing this!" Shinra said as his eyes turned red as Saika came from his body and with a swing, separated the head and body as all three were falling to the ground.
"Holy crap!" Indigo said looking through binoculars. "That idiot just decapitated Celty!"
"So he separated Celty from her head again. So that's what he meant by playing the villain." Jexi said.
"He just didn't want Celty to leave town. Honestly… I feel for him." Hope said.
"Never mind that now! They're gonna die!" Usopp said.
"Celty… I didn't know you all that well… But my friends here clearly don't want you to leave, so…" David said as blue circles emerge from the buildings and a web of ice was created below them.
Celty then began to move as she rushed over to Shinra. "Shinra! Shinra!" Celty was typing. "Please."
"Take it...easy. I'm an injured man." Shinra said before Celty was beating on him.
"You idiot! You stupid idiot! I thought you were gonna die! You are the stupidest idiot!" Celty said punching him before the two were embracing.
"I'm sorry. But if I was the only one to risk my life...I figured you might try to save me." Shinra said.
"Like I said, you're an idiot!" Celty typed.
"And you love me for it." Shinra said.
Morning soon broke as light was slowly starting to shine as on the road, Izaya was inside of a car. He then saw the knife and some shadowy stuff around it.
"Don't touch it. Not unless you want your guts comin out." Kine said driving.
"Mr. Kine." Izaya said before seeing the girl who tried to kill him.
"Don't think me saving you means I forgive you." she said.
"Don't worry. I'm gonna be taking you to a good doctor I know." Kine said.
"Okay. As long as it's not anywhere near Ikebukuro. The last thing I would want is that monster and those miscreants hanging over my deathbed." Izaya said.
As the car drove off, the heroes were at a local bar.
"I can't believe it...this is how the story ends here in Ikebukuro." Jexi said.
"Look on the bright side. At least we don't have to worry about Izaya. We scared the hell out of him." Hope said.
"Doubt it. Knowing him, he might restart in another city. But that won't be for awhile." Petra said. "So, what happened to the head?"
"Shingen claimed it and had it shipped to a Nebula branch in Chicago as a special organism." Tails said.
"You know something? I'm glad Celty's sticking around. And in all fairness, I just love this town for what it is." Hope said. "I mean, where else you gonna find a headless back motorcycle rider?"
"Or a sushi bar that's run by a russian?" Robin asked.
"Or a bartender that can easily send you flying all the way to the other side of town." Zelos said.
"Gotta admit. This place does have its charm." David said.
"The story may end here Jexi, but we've all got some memories here, and we'd hate to ruin Em. So for what it's worth… I'm glad we came to Ikebukuro and saw what you experienced as a kid." Hope said.
"Thanks." Jexi said. "This place was some bad memories back then...but I feel better about it now."
"A toast. For a crazy town that we'll never forget. To Ikebukuro." Soul said raising his glass.
"To Ikebukuro!" everyone said, clinking their glasses.
And so, our tale of this city ends here. But while the story of Ikebukuro has come to an end, the tales of these heroes will live on for a long long time. There will always be something extraordinary just around the corner. But you have to see it for yourself. But it's everywhere here...in a little town called Ikebukuro.
