The sound of wedding bells rang all over the paperverse, the void began to shrink and worlds began to be restored… and in the Mushroom Kingdom, Zemuria, Ylisse, Fodlan, Haelynn, Remnant, Fiore, Pokemon regions, Popstar, all life in the Universed was restored. Everyone from innocents, heroes, villains all wondered what just happened as some others smile at the sound of the wedding bells.
Evernight Castle...
As Salem hear the wedding bells... she was very unhappy. "Damn them... DAMN THOSE GODS!"
Meanwhile, at Flipside…
Everyone slowly awoke, standing up at an upright tower in Flipside.
"Where are we…?" Luigi wondered.
"It looks like... Flipside?" Juna wondered as Kurt let out a gasped.
"Everyone, look!" Kurt said, pointing in the distance as they saw the void shrinking until there was no more of it. "The void is disappearing for good!"
"Then... that means..." Ruby covered her eyes as her knees gave out... until she got back on her feet and jump high. "YAHOOOOO! WE DID IIIIIIIT!"
(Trails of Cold Steel II ost - The Time the Lino Flowers Bloom)
"Yeah... all the worlds of save." Rean said as he sigh with relief... until his knees gave out... until Levi catch him.
"Whoa! You all right, Rean?" Levi asked
"Yeah... I'm just exhausted at this point." Rean said as he let out a light chuckled. "Who would have imagined that this would happen. First I got possessed by the Shadow Queen... now I was chosen as a vessel by the Chaos Heart. All because of Ishmelga."
"He's the mastermind behind it all, right?"
"Yeah... I'm sure everyone deserve that explanation."
"No kidding." Angelica said. "But you definitely deserve some rest Rean. That fight with your doppelganger was intense."
"Yeah. What's more you chance back too... but Your hair is still long." Towa said.
"Oh." Reach touch his long hair. "You're right. I wonder how did that happened though. I should probably get a haircut."
"Aww, but I think it suits you Rean." Alfin giggled.
"Indeed. Nothing makes you more attractive with your long hair Instructor~" Musse wink. "Oooh the thought of you wrapping your arms around-"
"Will. YOU. PLEASE! STOP SAYING THINGS THAT SOUND SEXUAL!?" Juna yelled as she blushed.
Uggh... this girl..." Celine sighed
"Everyone, you did it!" A voice said as they turn and see Merlon approach them. "All worlds in the universe is saved! The prophecy has lost its power... Thusly the worlds that was lost returns to normalcy. You have done well, heroes. It is all thanks to you."
"Ooh..." Cedric tears began to come out.
"Cedric, what's the matter?" Alfin asked
"One of my dreams has finally come true..." He wipe his tears with his arms. "At long last... that dream has been fulfilled..."
"Hehe... who would had guess you're still a crybaby even when you're mature now. I guess I'm the older one here."
"Wha- excuse me!? This coming from the girl who literally cry over watching that sictom where some girl who got dump by her boyfriend and then suddenly found her true prince charming and lived happily ever after!"
"Hehe. I never mention there was a happily ever after. Unless... you secretly watching it behind my back~"
"Alfin you-!" Cedric grumbled as he blush, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
"Well that's one thing to liven the mood." Kurt said with a chuckled.
"Wait a moment. Where's Tippi?" Merlon asked.
"Ah..." Towa trailed off.
"Tippi... no... Timpani... she reunited with Count Bleck... no, Blumiere. Her long-lost beloved" Musse respond.
Merlon closed his eyes. "I see… she reunited with her special one. Perhaps this too was under the guidance of the Pure Hearts."
"But... what do you think happened to them?" Tita asked.
"I believe they're alive out there." Arianrhod spoke up. "The two lovers lost to time and space are reunited in a new home of their own, fulfilling their old vows and living in bliss."
"Yes… and I believe so too. I'm honestly happy for them." Nastasia said before becoming overwhelmed with emotion. "B-but…" She said, starting to cry uncontrollably. "WAAAAAH! I miss him so muuuuuch!"
"Oy now, Nastasia." O'Chunks wrapped his arms around her. "It's gonna be alright, lass! Teh Count doesn't want to see ye bawlin' like this. He wants yeh to smile."
"He's right. We still have each other. We're practically family, you know?" Mimi smiled.
Nastasia wipe her tears and look at them with a smile. "You're right…"
"Farewells are bittersweet... but our hearts are connected. No matter the distance." Sora said with a smile.
"Agreed." Lloyd nodded. "I hope Blumiere and Timpani can enjoy their life together."
"I hope so too. With that said, who's hungry? We should have ourselves a-"
"Damn you all!" A voice interrupted, causing their attention as Chaos Rean appeared before them, but all worn out and on his knees.
(BGM ended)
(Kingdom Hearts II ost - Organization XIII)
"Wha-?!" Rean eye widen.
"No way...!" Levi eye widen. "You're still alive?!"
"MY goodness! Who is this? He looks exactly like Rean!" Merlon said.
"Chaos Rean! I thought you perished along with the Pure Hearts!" Lloyd said in shocked
"The Pure Hearts may be gone along with Bleck and Tippi are not of this dimension... That much is true... However... I am indeed the Chaos Heart! I cannot be destroyed so easily!" Chaos Rean glared. "Granted... if I weren't given to Rean as a vessel... I would no doubt either cease to exist or seal away once more. But Dimentio gave me a conscious... a will of my own. My own being! And I refuse to lose to the likes of you!" He then groaned. "Grrrgh... Damn... I never knew the Purity Heart had so much power... Most of my powers are gone... However..." He then glare at the group. "...This isn't the end. This is the dawn of a new beginning. A beginning where I will have my revenge on all of you, the Ancients, and most of all, you Rean Schwarzer! I will reclaim my power... it's only a matter of time. Enjoy your day of peace... because fate will be on my side... and I WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH. HAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed as he teleported away.
(BGM ended)
"This... is not good..." Alisa turn pale.
"Well this is an unexpected surprised..." Campanella admitted. "I never thought he would still believe either. Looks like everyone's hands is full at this rate."
"Indeed. I suppose we're not to complain." Mariabell said
"Indeed. It's time we return. We shall meet again heroes." Arianrhod said as she and the rest of Ouroboros teleported away.
"Oh dear..." Merlon said, looking down. "It seems Dimentio has created a dangerous creation."
"Yeah... We need to be on the lookout for him." Tio nodded... and then her stomach growled.
"Ah! I almost forgot. Why don't we all celebrate and enjoy a meal for saving the universe? You all derseve that much at least."
"That sounds like a great idea! But where would be eat?"
"I know just the place!" Hoopa said as he appeared afterward and opened a ring portal to the Mushroom Kingdom. "Koopa Buffet, here we come!"
"Ooooh! That sounds delicious!" O'Chunks said.
"Count me in!" Mimi grinned.
"That… that sounds nice." Nastasia smiled.
Merlon chuckled. "I suppose a nice change of scenery is in order." He said as they walked in.
One Dinner later at the Koopa Buffet...
(Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild ost - Rito Village -Night-)
"Man that was a good meal..." Ash said as he lay back on the chair.
"Indeed. I love a good party meal~" Alfin giggled.
"I'm glad we finally got some time to relax through." Levi said. "Still, I cannot believe that Chaos Rean is still alive..."
"I don't think any of us did for that matter. We can certainly blame Dimentio for that." Rean sighed. "Honestly... The truth he told us was shocking to say the least."
"You mean about the Ebon Knight Ishmelga, don't you?" Emma asked. "To think Ishmelga was responsible for everything that's transpired... Even predicted that I would help guide you to Valimar... how terrifying..."
"Even I was shocked about it." Rosalia fold her arms. "But it does explain everything. But I'm even more shock on what you discuss with Xehanort Schwarzer." She turn to him.
"Yeah... I am too..." Rean said, looking down. "Alisa... I..."
"There's no need to apologize..." Alisa said with a sad smile. "I never thought that... My father was..." She said as Sharon stay silent.
"To think Franz was the Chief of the Gnomes... No..." Angelica said. "... That Ishmelga was the one who killed him first... and replaced him with the parasite who took over his body, right?"
"That's what we learn... but it all makes sense in the end." Elliot trailed off.
"Yeah..." Rean said as he look down.
Rean was lost in thought on his conversation with Xehanort and the black truth he learned from Dimentio. How his own birth father... was force against his hand... If it weren't for Ishmelga... he would have lived a peaceful life with his mother and father...
"Rean..." Levi called out to him. "What are you thinking now?"
"I..." Rean paused before he look with determination. "We need to find a way to defeat Ishmelga." He said, catching all his friends attention. "Ishmelga was the one behind everything in Erebonia bloodstain history. He is someone we cannot forgive. For what he has done to my father. my mother, Claire's family, Lechter's father... Alisa's father... and so many others who were part of his schemes."
"Yeah. I agree." Crow nodded in agreement. "Turns out that Ishmelga was the one responsible for causing my grandfather to die. Osborne was just a puppet to him and used him for that purpose behind the scenes."
"It truly is horrible..." Peach said looking down with a sad look on her face.
"Still, if we're going to stop Ishmelga... we're going to find some way to stop Osborne and the Gnomes, right?" Mario asked
"Yeah. For the sake of all the lives Ishmelga took, for causing so much hurt in Erebonia, and for the sake of the world... we need to end him for good." Rean nodded
"Heh. Took the words right out of our mouths." Ragna smirked. "So how do we do this?"
"Let's discuss what we know so far." Rean said as they begin to talk.
(BGM ended)
Later on... Osborne's office...
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - In the Darkness of Ignorance)
"And that's the report Millium brought over." Claire said as she told Osborne during the adventure.
"I see..." Osborne fold his arms as he look in thought. "The void is no more... yet the Chaos Heart still exist... as the doppelganger of Rean Schwarzer. What's more... the mastermind behind it was Count Bleck... and later... Dimentio. My, quite the turn of event this has become."
"Yes... But I'm still concerned about this doppelganger of Rean though. And... what happened to him as well..."
"Sheesh, I had to admit, I wasn't expecting this outcome. Life is unpredictable..." Lechter said. "So what should we do?"
"As of now, I'm sure the world is trying to solve the questions about the void. Depends if it comes out or not. But the truth for a fact is that the voice and the mastermind behind it is no more. Although things will slowly return to normal. We must still continue on all the same."
"Had a feeling you'll say that."
"Understood your Excellency." Claire nodded as she and Lechter left the room.
Once they left Osborne alone.
"Alberich." Osborne said, and the black sphere appeared. "I'm sure you heard just now?"
"Indeed. The mastermind behind the void is gone... yet that unfathomable power still remains. Even I agree we should be on the lookout for that creature. Yet I had this strangest feeling the White and Black Rabbit didn't told us entirely." Alberich said.
"Hmm... perhaps. But we must wait until further notice."
(BGM ended)
"Oh, I'm afraid that won't be possible for you anymore." A voice said, causing Osborne to be alerm and turn to his deck and see Chaos Rean sitting in his deck with his knee supporting his arm.
(Trails into Reverie ost - Zero Encounter)
"Wha-!?" Alberich said in shock.
"Schwarzer?" Osborne asked in surprised. "How did you get... wait... You're not him, aren't you?"
Chaos Rean grinned. "For someone who is Rean's father... you are correct at least. You truly were so cruel to him... puppet of Ishmelga."
Osborne and Alberich behind the screen look surprised.
"Where did you learn that name?" Alberich demand.
"I see no reason to answer that question, Black Alberich. But I have on business with you. Get out of my sight." Chaos Rean snapped his finger and Alberich's sphere suddenly exploded and broke into pieces, surprised to Osborne. "But I do have business with you Giliath Osborne. Or rather your Divine Knight Ishmelga."
"I see... So you're Chaos Rean... The Chaos Heart who chose my son as his vessel." Osborne said.
"That's right. But I'm much more than that. Your son is quite the hero. You were too in the ancient past, Dreichels. Must be sad that you were forced to become a puppet to Ishmelga, becoming his Awakener, and lose your wife, Kasia. But you don't have to worry about that." Chaos Reans said as he hopped off and teleported.
"What?" Osborne look around until he felt something stabbing him in the chest. "NNGH?!" Osborne coughed off his blood and look down and see the Tachi of Chaos was impaled to him, then turn to see Chaos Rean with a dark grinned.
"Shhh... Worry not Giliath Osborne... This time, you won't become an immortal. You can leave and sleep peacefully with your dear beloved Kasia." He said as the dark energy from the Tachi responded.
"Wh-What are you-?!"
"You know my name right? There's no need for you to be the harbinger of Chaos. Because that will be my role. For I am the Chaos Heart. And don't worry about Ishmelga too. I'll take good care of him. But it's a shame that you couldn't see your son for one final time. Father of the year, am I right?" Chaos Rean taught. "Goodbye, Giliath Osborne."
"AAAAAAUGH!" Osborne screamed in agony as he soon vanished into particles.
"Hehehe..." Chaos Rean smirked as he raised his Tachi of Chaos and swing down, opening a portal and reaching out his hand, almost as he were trying to find something. "Found you." Until now.
Chaos Rean pulled a massive soul-like entity with several eyes appearing in Chao Rean's hands.
"...! HOW DID YOU-?!" Ishmelga gasped
"So you're Ishmelga?" Chaos Rean raised his eyebrow. "What an absolutely pathetic creature you as humanity's creation. It's no wonder you're an abomination."
"HOW DARE YOU! WHO ARE YOU!? AND WHAT IS THIS POWER? I FELT THIS OTHERWORLDLY POWER THE MOMENT YOU STABBED DREICHELS! HOW DID YOU SEVER HIS LINK AS MY AWAKENER?!"
"Because I'm chaos incarnation. My darkness is far superior then that of your malice. Although I don't have any quarrel with you, you are, however, far too dangerous to be around. Plus since I inherited your backup plan entire being... I truly want to kill you for all the things you have done in his place. So killing you in the most painful way as possible will do just nicely. You will never become the Great One. Once I kill you, you will be gone from this world."
Ishmelga eye widen. "NO! DON'T YOU DARE! ALBERICH! ALBERICH!"
Chaos Rean raised his Tachi of Chaos high with a grin on his face. "Farewell, Ishmelga." And he slashed him.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ishmelga scream in agony as he soon fades into darkness.
In the Black Workshop...
Alberich suddenly felt a stabbed as he fell onto the floor.
"Blwah!" Alberich cough of blood. "What... is this?!" He wondered as he notice that he's turning into particles. "No... NO! Master! MASTEEEEEEEER!" He screamed as he faded into darkness... and Franz Reinford's corpses was soon burn in a blue fire and disappeared.
"Alberich?!" Georg barges into the room and look around. "Chief Alberich! Chief Alberich!"
Back to Chaos Rean...
"Ahhh..." Chaos Rean made his Tachi disappear. "It feels good." He smirked. "Well... Time to get his formal vessel." He said as he teleported away. Chaos Rean teleported to the location of the Ebon Knight and look at it. "Hmm... I can sense immense power. It's without question stronger than the other Divine Knigths Rean Schwarzer encounter." He forwards is hand at it. "Now I shall take part of the Sept-Terrions power for my own." He said as his hand appeared a void-like orb that launched out toward the Ebon Knight and soon consumed it, flew into Chaos Rean and he began to glow. "Ah... What tremendous power I'm feeling. It's not exactly the same as my full power... but I think it's enough. Perhaps I should fine the other Divine Knights and take their power for my own. And I know just where to find the Auric Knight, and the Palatinate Knight." He smirked and he teleported away.
(BGM ended)
Later on With Rean...
(Kid Icarus Uprising ost - Solo Menu)
Class VII along with Mario, Luigi, Peach, Byleth, Ragna, Aether, and Mona where Palutena scanning Rean with her staff.
"Hmm..." Palutena hummed as she lower her staff and rise it up again until finished. "Okay, it's checked out. You don't have any traces of the Chaos's Hearts power, nor the Erebonian Curse with you."
Rean let out a sigh of relief as he got up from the chair. "That's a good relief. So that power I used to defeat my doppelganger was from the Pure Hearts?"
Palutena nodded. "Yes. However, I don't sense any of it with you. But what I can answer is that you unlock a skill that you can proudly call your own over your accomplishment."
"What do you mean Palutena?" Byleth asked.
"From what I can tell, it look like Rean's Enlightened Spirit Unification has evolved in a sense. This happened when you face against your doppelganger, right?"
"Right." Rean nodded
"Then..." Palutena place her finger to her lips as she think.
"If I also join in." A voice said as Ryoma also approached. "I've also noticed a new change within you as well Rean. That craft you used on Chaos Rean was insight an outstanding form. If I know any better, I say you may have mastered the Seventh Form."
"Ah..." Rean eye widen.
"Yes. I was thinking the same thing." Palutena nodded. "I'm not... partially familiar with the Eight Leaves One Blade School forms... but you have definitely shown mastery into your form as a warrior."
"Indeed. Indeed. Your power from the Erebonian Cursed did grant you a fragment of that power. But after that time with the Star Rod two years ago, the influence of the cursed left you, of course, it also weakened you. But that never stops you from growing in mind, body, and soul. I say your blade has become more refined with each passing day." Ryoma smiled in a nod.
"Haha... Thank you, Ryoma, and you two Palutena. But it still feels so unreal." Rean said as he scratched his hair.
"Aww, come on buddy! Where's this coming from?" Crow wondered. "You should be proud of your accomplishment."
"Crow's right Rean." Laura fold her arms with a smile. "Your blade has refined as well as your soul as King Ryoma said. Your Spirit Unification is the result of awakening your own inner power. And this Enlightened version shows you not only master the seventh formed but also shows your true power is your own and awakened."
"Yeah. What Laura said." Fie nodded
"Aw, you guys." Rean smiled. "Thanks for the encouraging."
"I'm glad you were able to master the seventh form, Rean. It's the most difficult form of the Eight Leaves. That's quite the accomplishment." Aether nodded.
"Thanks Aether. Though I've gotten stronger, I still have a long way to go."
"Hehe. Modest to the fault." Elliot chuckled.
"Huh, that reminds me, What happened to Kammy?" Millium asked
"Oh, she's in a better place now." Crow answered
"Wait, you mean she..." Mario paused.
"Oh... My condolences to Kamek." Luigi scratches his hair.
"Crow, you're making it sound like she's dead." Mona sighed. "She's still alive. She's back to her retirement."
With Kammy Koopa...
"Ahhh~" Kammy Koopa said in relief after drinking a juice and relaxing in the beach. "It feels good to be here on the beach."
Back to the others...
"Well guess we better hit the road for now. We still have a lot to do after all." Sara said.
"Agreed." Rean nodded.
"Can't we get a vacation already?" Venti wondered as they all walked out of there.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile in Ouroboros Celestial Globe...
(Trails in the Sky SC the 3rd ost - In the Way of the Heart)
"You've all done well to defeat the nefarious Count Bleck and stop his plans to end the universe." The Grandmaster said. "I cannot help but feel pity for him, however. Though is he different from Salem... their motive remains the same. A man with a broken Heart searches desperately to reunite with his beloved... falls to despair because of the actions of his own father. Took the forbidden book that prophecies the Void and bring forth the Chaos Heart."
"But in the end. It look like our heroes once again save the world." The fourth Angus mused. "I truly like this Dimentio Character though. Just like with Xehanort, who knows what kind of fun we can have."
"Agreed. it's a pity for what happened to Dimentio. But oh well. Still, we should also discuss the main issue, don't you think?" Campanella ask
"You speak of Chaos Rean. Yes. Although he has lost most of his power, he still poses a greater threat. Grandmaster, should we plan to annihilate him for the sake of the Orpheus Final Plan?" The First Anguis asked until the Grandmaster didn't respond. "Grandmaster."
"...My Anguises... I'm afraid things have become more dire." The Grandmaster said. "It seems we can no longer continue with the Phantasmal Blaze Plan."
"What? Grandmaster? What brought this sudden change of plans?" Mariabell asked
"Though my gaze to the whims of fate, I witness the vision... Chaos Rean... as annihilated the Ebon Knight... and Chancellor Osborne."
"What?" Airanrhod eye widen.
"H-He kill both the Ebon Knight and the Imperial Chancellor?!" Novartis exclaimed
"Not even I expected this event." The Grandmaster admits "However, as he annihilated the the Ebon Knight, he also absorbed his power, making the fragment of the Sept-Terrion of Fire and Earth his... slowly regaining his power. Defeating him will be difficult if we do not act now. It's only time before he can regain what he lost. If he seeks to take the powers of the other knights, he will regain what he lost. Not even Mcburn is capable of his defeating him."
"Even our Strongest Enforcer is not up to the task?" The First Anguis asked in surprise.
"I was there when I faced him in Count Bleck's castle." Arianrhod spoke up. "Chaos Rean strength was powerful beyond compare. He defeated both me and Mcburn as it was mere child's play. However, I have witnessed the possibility of defeating him. The Pure Hearts, artifacts that were forged by love by the Ancients, are capable of harming him as Rean Schwarzer dealt the final blow."
"I see. Then if we wish to remove Chaos Rean... we need to recreate the Pure Hearts..." The First Anguis mused.
"It shall take time for I to recreate that power." The Grandmaster said. "Informed all within my society to cautions of Chaos Rean. If we can defeat him, it's possible that the Sept-Terrion's power may be passed onto the Divine Knights. I will look into this personally."
"As you wish, Grandmaster..."
(BGM ended)
In Leeves...
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Night of Promise)
"Ah, there you are Levi." Rean said as he see Levi stare into the distance of Leeve on the roomtop. "I was wondering where you went off."
"Hehe, sorry about that. I was admiring the view from here." Levi said, turning back to the view. "Another crazy adventure we had. I can imagine that Olivert is having quite the chat with Cedric and Alfin."
"Hehe. Perhaps." Rean said, looking at the view. "Still... I really put you and everyone through difficulties. I'm really am a mess."
"You certainly are." Levi agreed, causing Rean to sweatdrop. "But that's what we love about you. Whenever you're down, it's up to us to bring you back to your senses. I was honestly worried that you might never come back because of the Chaos Heart."
"I remember that." Rean looks down. "I was forever in a void of my own... trapped in that endless darkness... overwhelmed by the truth that had plagued me. But thanks to you... and everyone I love... I regain back my senses. And... now we have a better understanding on what's going on behind the scenes."
"Yeah. The Ebon Knight... That would explain why Osborne is expanding his power, seeking to create war. As well as the Rivalry." Levi nodded. "The Steel Maiden knows about that too. No... Ouroboros. Even Organization XIII."
"Yeah. But... we need to find some way to reach Ishmelga... I hope it doesn't involve the Rivalries, however..."
"That's going to be a big problem... Ishmelga can hide anywhere... and can't call forth until he summon him."
"Yeah. But I know we'll find a way. And once we defeat my father and Ishmelga for good. Erebonia can finally be free from the Ebon Knight's evil gaze."
"Me too. It's going to be a long day until we find him. I hope it's a lot sooner for us to rid of him. For the sake of the world at least. But he's definitely hiding in some plane. We just have to find out which one."
Rean nodded. "And once we do. We'll be ready for him." He said before looking down. "Hey, Levi. Thanks for everything."
Levi turn to him in surprised. "What brought this on?"
"It's just how I feel. I couldn't ask for a better colleague... and a better partner. I love you."
"Aww. I love you too."
"No. I mean I love you."
"Huh?" Levi blinked as Rean turn to him.
"I've fallen in love with you Levi." Rean respond, causing Levi to look more surprised than before. "I've always felt like this. When you... and everyone I hold so dear... told me how much I mean to you... I felt a brand new warmth in my heart. I'm so happy to hear your love for me too. That's why... I'm happy we've met. So Levi... will you go out with me." He said with a smile.
Levi was speechless as his cheeks are red. "A-Are you sure it's me?"
"Yeah. If I didn't. I wouldn't confessed."
"Rean..." Levi's tears begin to come out and he rushes to him and hugs him. "Yes... I would love to go out with you! I honestly fell in love with you too. I'm glad... I'm really glad."
"Haha." Rean chuckled with a warm smile and hugged him back. "Thank you Levi... can I... kiss you?"
"Hehe... you don't have to ask." Levi replied with a warm smile as the two of them pressed their lips together, wrapping their arms around each other, as the warmth of love took over, feeling the bliss.
As their new confessed love take place, they deepen their kiss with their tongues as it dances in a fiery passion until they end their kiss and place their foreheads together.
"You taste so sweet." Rean said.
"Hehe... Just as you." Levi said with a warm smile and begin to kiss again.
(BGM ended)
Ring!
Suddenly, Rean's ARCUS Alpha rings as the couple let go of each other.
"Huh? It's from Millium." Rean said as he answer. "Millium? What's up?"
(Trails of Cold Steel ost - Secret Maneuvers)
"Rean! Thank goodness you responded! I got some really really bad news! Like Super duper!" Millium panicked
"Why? What happened?!" Rean asked.
"It's Gramps! He's... He's gone!"
"WHAT?!" Both Rean and Levi yelled.
"I don't know what's going on but... Gramps was seen last time with Clare and Lechter giving him the report about the Chaos Heart and stuff about our adventure. Claire was going to report again... but she felt something was really wrong. She enter the room... and discovered Gramps is gone! There was even blood in his office! I think someone might have kill him!"
"What? How is that possible!? His office is within the Imperial Palace isn't it?" Levi asked
"Yeah! It was- Wait Levi? What are you doing there?"
"Never mind that, Millium. What happened?"
"Okay, she alerted the palace and searched for an investigation. There wasn't a sign of fighting, even the guard's station heard nothing. No break-in, or anything! I'm not sure what happened to Gramps's body, but he disappeared!"
"That doesn't make any sense! How can he disappear... could someone kill him? But who?" And how?" Rean wondered as he thought.
"I don't know, but I'll let you know if I find anything." Millium said as she hang up.
"Rean..." Levi turn to him.
"Yeah..." Rean nodded. "If there was no sign of fighting, and his body disappeared... he must have been taken... but who?" Rean wondered.
"And Osborne is an immortal right? He can be revived by Ishmelga's power... not unless someone kills him too..." Levi said.. until he said something he just realized. "Wait... what if this is a hunch... could... someone kill Ishmelga? Because of that's true... then it would explain Osborne disappeared."
"Yeah. But to reach Ishmelga is the Divine Knights. No, that wouldn't make sense. The logic I can think of is someone with incredible power could have kill Ishmelga. I don't think it's Ouroboros... but perhaps some deity? Or some powerful force?" Rean wondered until Chaos Rean appeared in his vision. "Ah...!"
"Rean?"
"Could it be... Chaos Rean?"
Levi eye widen. "It's possible. During the fight... he's capable of teleporting. And although he lost most of his power... he's still a huge threat. But... Could it really be him? Could he really kill Ishmelga with whatever power he has?"
"Good question... if only we can find the answer for ourselves..." Rean said.
Meanwhile... in the other Dimension...
Professor. E Gadd was in a mansion tinkering when a green ghost sneaked up behind him, until E. Gadd turned his head and saw the ghost, who then laughed.
"Oh hello!" E. Gadd waved at the ghost as he flew off and in his labs were another green ghost, who were helping carry and clean his lab as one of the green ghost go through electricity and shock... only to come out laughing.
Back outside in the sky, there was a purple crystal shape like a moon when suddenly, a familiar Boo figure approached it.
"Ahaha... So this is the Dark Moon... How intriguing!" He smirked as he look down at the mansion. "I will use this to turn the ghost against him. Draw Luigi in... maybe even more bonuses for my revenge! E. Gadd, your day is over!" He yelled and his crown jewel fired a bolt of lightning at the Dark Moon and shattered it into pieces of six, scattering them throughout the valley as dark clouds soon over the area.
Back inside the manor, the ghost inside suddenly flinched and their pupils shape like the moon vanished. One ghost scrample the pages in a notebook and throws it on the floor as the other ghosts begin to turn hostile.
"What the-?!" E. Gadd turn to face the ghost. "Hey? What's the matter, fellows?" He asked as they turn to him and glared, brought out booms and pans. "Uh-Oh." He sweatdrops until one of them raises the room and swings at him. "Yipe!" he yelped and jumped of the chair and avoided the attack. "What's going on with you fellows?!" He yelled as the ghost are making a mess in his lab. "Oh no... I better get out of here!" He yelled as he ran out of the mansion.
Back in the dread of night, King Boo let out a grin. "Run E. Gadd. Run into your lab. You'll fell right into my trap... and when it springs, your entire life is mine!"

"Hmm..." Ienzo mumbled to himself as he work on the teleporter. "A little more... perfect!" He said as he back away. "Master, I've finished."
"I see, good work Ienzo." Ansem the Wise approached. "Has it been tested yet?"
"Just about actually. If it succeeds, the data we collected on Organization XIII can be used as training practice."
"Indeed. Though I must admit. I am concerned about it." Even admitted. "But if things does smoothly, we won't have to worry about them coming back ever again."
"The organization has reached its downfall. But our biggest concern is with Ouroboros and any other dark forces that will soon be upon us. It's best for everyone to be prepared. Let's give it further testing on the teleporter and then we can contact Sora and ask him to invite his friends."
"You know, Kirito mention that he and E. Gadd are working on something similar too. I wonder if it's done."
Early before the E. Gadd went to the unknown manor...
"Okay Kirito, how it is going?" E. Gadd asked as he and his assistants of Toads, Schoobs, and Humans were on a very advanced room with highly advanced computers that hologram as well.
"It's going great! Hang on! GAAAH!" Kirito yelled and heard a monster roar and then shatter a glass shattered sound was heard. "All right! It's done!" He said as Kirito walk out of the room. "It's a success!" Kirito grinned and pull out his ARCUS Alpha and opened it. "And My Master Quartz gain some experience too!"
"Ohohoh! Excellent! The virtual battle simulator β project is a success! I was honestly worried about the difficulty levels. But are the items in question were brought back with you?"
"Yep." Kirito brought out Sepiths, items, Rare Quartz, and U-Materized. "Everything is in order. We recreated that Reverie Corridor Rean and the others experienced two years ago."
"Indeed. It certainly took a lot of effort to recreate the said items in question and generate them through data. But thanks to your help along with many others, we won't have to worry about a thing. You're planning on recreating something similar back in your world right?" E. Gadd asked.
"Yep. Don't get me wrong. It kinda makes me homesick, but hey. I'm happy with life here too. You think we can keep this under tight wrap?"
"Most certainly." hopped off. "Well, I better get going."
"Where are you going?"
"I discovered this valley that has friendly ghosts! I already created a base there. toodeloo!" E. Gadd chuckled and headed off.
And that's the end of that. Honestly, the thought of Rean having an evil doppelganger who's more stronger and his complete opposite certainly gives me the chills and excitement. And It's official that Rean and Levi are a couple... in the paperverse anyway. Next up, the spooooky manor!
