SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 23 out, this is Chapter 24 and the final chapter of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Epilogue: A Ray of Hope

"You will be the one who will be sent flying." Nemesis roared, stalemating against the siblings.

"Pegasus, Barrage Mode!" Ginga switched attack mode.

"Abyss Break." Asteria summoned a magical circle between her hands, firing a concentrated beam of flames, rock, water and wind at Nemesis' body.

"An attack like that won't damage the God of Destruction." Nemesis shrugged the attack off. Pulling back, he released an even more powerful dark energy blast which took the forms of Kronos and Quetzalcoatl.

"Pegasus, Smash Mode." Ginga switched modes. "Pegasus Starblast Attack!"

"Sema!" Asteria followed up by summoning a falling comet on Nemesis.

"Did she just..." King gawked.

"Summon a comet?" Dynamis muttered. "Yes."

"Nemesis." Rago snarled, countered with a dark Pegasus, the out-surge of energy disintegrated the comet before it hit. "Now, it's my turn." he had Nemesis charge forward, sending out dark L-Drago.

"Don't even think about using Ryuga's power, you gutless monster." Ginga snapped, countering with Pegasus and Sagittario. "Please, everybody, lend me your strength." he shouted, releasing the other Star Beasts.

"So, you've also gained the power of your friends' Beys?" Rago snarled. "That makes it interesting. Now, crushing you will be more rewarding." he sent out his own dark Star Beasts to counter.

"Good try." Ginga heaved. "Our power is perfectly equal."

"So true." Rago agreed. "And while we battle, the darkness of the Black Sun continues to spread over the entire world. Do you really think you can defeat the God of Destruction before the world is destroyed or will you even have the strength to continue fighting Nemesis that long? That is the limit of a human." he mocked, defeating, Jupiter and Anubius. "This is no way that a human can win against a God. I'll show you the power of the God of Destruction." he declared, taking out Leon, Kronos, Variares Quetzalcoatl, Orion and Sagittario in rapid succession. "Even if you've gathered the power of the Star Fragment, Nemesis still processes a power that you never can." gathering the Black Sun's power, he transformed Dark L-Drago into a more fearsome form. "This is the power of anger, pain and hatred felt by the God of Destruction after being sealed in the cold, dark Earth for thousands of years." laughing, he beat Pegasus back. "A tiny worm like you could never win against this type of terror."

"Nemesis, have you forgotten?" Asteria reminded. "Through the ages, the tops born from the first Star changed shape and became the Beyblades of today."

"In other words, every Bey in the world possesses the power of the Star Fragment." Ginga breathed in realization.

As if on cue, the combined power of every Bladers merged into a massive pillar of light and descended on Nemesis and imbued Pegasus with its power.

"This time, I will finish it." Ginga swore.

"Don't be ridiculous." Rago snarled. "The power of the Black Sun will blow your power away."

At that, the two adversaries clashed.

"This is the power of all the Bladers who live on this Earth, combined." Ginga roared, finally getting a hit in and driving Nemesis back. "A bone between Bladers that spreads without limit through Beyblade; that is the power that I have and it's something you'll never have."

"But no matter how many gather together, worms are still worms." Rago snarled, raising Dark L-Drago again. "You and your ridiculous hope will be burned away by the fire of the Black Sun."

"Now, we should get going." Asteria rested a hand on Ginga's shoulder and teleported them to space, above the descending Black Sun. "Let's put an end to this."

"Right." Ginga nodded. "Pegasus Starblast Attack!"

"Heaven Piercer!" Asteria charged up celestial energy into the 'Star Demise'.

"Meet the attack, Nemesis." Rago ordered and powering up Dark L-Drago to meet the siblings' combined attack. "It's over." he laughed. "Now, it's decided once and for all, the two of you will disappear even before the rest of the world is destroyed."

"Pegasus, Cosmic Tornado." Ginga boosted Pegasus' spin. "Special Move: Super Cosmic Nova."

"What?" Rago gaped when the rays of golden light shone through the parting dark clouds, the siblings' final strike imploding the Black Sun from the inside, before shooting straight through Rago's body.

"No..." Rago exclaimed. "No, it can't be..." he trailed off, falling into the hole he had risen from.

The golden pillar of power then shot up into the air, clearing away the dark clouds.

"Is it all over?" Ginga blinked. "We really did..." he turned to the smiling Seina. "Win it? Thanks so much, Pegasus..." he muttered, before falling over in Seina's arms.

"Dynamis, Aguma, Yuki, King, Tithi." Seina addressed the Solar System Bladers. "Thank you for all your work. With Nemesis finally defeated, I hereby declare, the Solar System Bladers are henceforth formally disbanded."

"If it is your wish, I understand." Dynamis replied.

"So, what do you plan to do now?" Madoka looked at the older female as Ginga led the rest to the arriving helicopters.

"Well," Seina gave Ginga's back a fond smile. "It's been a while since I'm a proper big sister."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
