((Continues directly from ALIV))
"But enough of this stupid contemplating! It's time for a party!" Aurora cheered. Using a bit of her fire breath, she thawed (and burned) Leon. Grateful and angered, he was about to cast a spell on her when he decided to use his magic for a better purpose.
"Aurora, give me your hand." he demanded.
"Leon, I haven't held your hand in 10 years, and I don't plan on-
Leon sighed and grabbed Aurora's wrist. Raising both of their arms into the sky, he muttered something under his breath. Seconds later, a giant foghorn could be heard bellowing from the ocean. He pointed out of the hospital window toward a...giant ship?
"IT'S TIME TO PARTY ON THIS SHIP!" Leon yelled, teleporting THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL (and everyone within) onto the ship, along with hot women, games, drinks and T-Pain. "Let this ship and celebration forever commemorate the end of the Imperial War and the rise of peace!" Leon cheered, crowning the ship "S.S. Awesome".

Cybele was leaning on the railing of the ship, looking purplexed. She stared out to sea.
Galiana, who was still badly scared...and probably needed medical attention, came up beside her. "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be having fun?"
Cybele shrugged. "I can't help but think that we've forgotten something...."
-----------------------
"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS EVERYONE!?!?!?!?"
Cow-girl wondered around aimlessly inside the Null-Void. *sigh* "It's so boring here." She glanced around for a moment. "I know what this place needs. COWS!"
She took out three little marbles from her pocket and placed them on the...ground? She watered them with Justice Milk and took a step back. She waited a moment, then *poof* three cows suddenly appeared.
Cow-girl hopped onto one, sitting on it like anyone would on top of a horse. "YAY! COWS!"
(I'm not sure when to bring Crispy in...)

Zais proceeded to turn into a hip fresh DJ mothafucka! "Okay, requests?" He called out. "Oh and before I forget..." He snapped his fingers and a bunch of shadow soldiers from the Dynasty City fight, Sindri, Lord General Puu and Samarillidon all apeared....looking rather disoriented. "PARTY TIME BOYS!"

Johnny blinked and found out that he was on a boat...still in his hospital bed. the bed rolled around on the deck as it rocked. At first he thought about asking for help, but then he realized how much fun it was.
"WOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted as he rolled past Leon.
"Leon," Sarah said. "Would you mind steering this ship down towards Really Cool Land? I want to get off there."
~~~~~~
"So, you've lost ALL of your Focus powers?" Bill Nye stared.
"that's right," Ara said. "No one in Organization XXI can, not after stopped Super Land's fall."
"My, my...but that's okay then. Since we're working together now in Dynasty City, I hereby reinstate you all as members of the DCI. Dynasty City Intelligence. Our first order of business: root out any remaining COMAS members in the city."

"I've seen enough," Vuurdmeister Lehrer said suddenly.
"Master?" Elberich looked up from his tome. For a moment he forgot he was under water.
"The Mage Council needs to know about these recent events."
"We're going...home?"
"Yes, Elberich, we're going back to Gillreq't."

The portal opened up to a strange temple-like interior. Elberich and Dietrich stepped out. On top of a ziggarut construct, sat the throne of the Portal Master. And on that throne sat...
"Why hello thar my firends," said PFG.
"Oh, no," Dietrich sighed. "No him."
((Remember? PFG is the portal master.))

"On the grounds that you completely forgive me for that whole 'imprisoning-you-in-an-alternate-dimension-for-years' thing." Leon laughed, steering the ship toward whatever geographical location Really Cool Land had. Aurora walked up to Leon and tapped him on the shoulder, causing him to completely abandon control of the ship, steering it off course.
He turned around and addressed her. "Yes, Aurora. How may-" Leon ripped off his robe, beneath which was a pirate outfit. "-Captain L be of service today?" he yelled dramatically.
"Isn't that your Halloween costume from 8 years ago?" Aurora asked. Leon, too busy drowning out Aurora's words, didn't hear her. After a sigh and head shake, she continued. "Can you do me a favor, Leon? Teleport me back to Awesome Land, please?" she asked sweetly.
Leon read her lips over his own sound-drowning and understood. "Why?" he asked.
"Well, I'd do it myself but my magic is-
"No! Why do you want to go to that accursed land that we call Awesome? You should stay here and enjoy the parrrrty." he said in a piratey manner.
"Leon, please. As Grand Imperatrix, I've got to take the rebirth of the country seriously. For the good of the people, I can't-
"Say no more." Leon sighed. Always did care too much about everyone else. he thought. Suddenly, he embraced his sister before waving his hand and teleporting her back to the mainland.
"Arr...I hope she'll do alright..." Leon, noticing that the ship was headed straight for an iceberg, quickly grabbed the steering wheel and set it back on course.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---Awesome Land---
Aurora landed safely back in the center of Awesome Land where the hospital had been moments before. Before that, the center of Awesome Land was home to the thrice incarnated (or more) 9002 story tower. Behind the debris that constituted the area, the Alspire and the four pillars sat in the distance.
Aurora began to feel something strike her shoulder. It was not quite a tap; it felt more like a light breeze. "Hmm? Who's there?" she demanded. Turning around, she saw nothing but the rest of Awesome Land before her.
"It seems that the recreation of the empire was a bit more difficult than you had anticipated." came a mysterious voice from a mysterious location mysteriously. Slowly, a shape began to form before Aurora. It was very male-human like, differing only by a silvery translucent color and the fact that it was floating above the ground. A ghost, most likely.
"Oh, it's just you." Aurora had known this ghost for a while, it appeared. "Yes, trying to move Awesome Land away from the old tyranny it suffered. I...I couldn't do it." Aurora began to cry. She tried leaning on the ghost's shoulder, only to fall straight through. She was lifted back up by a mysterious voice from the mysterious ghost.
"It's not your fault, Aurora. Everything was stacked against you." the ghost whispered.
"No, it was...It's all my fault. I should have been...smarter or...stronger..." she whimpered.
"Calm yourself, Au-" the ghost began, only to be cut off by more sobs.
"No! You don't understand! This entire country and Dynasty City are both in ruins because of me!"
"Calm yourself, Aurora." Almost instantaneously, Aurora stopped crying. The ghost's voice had a ridiculously amazing soothing property to it. It was quite heavenly. "I will stand by your side and help you in any way that I can, Aurora. Leave it to me." the ghost smiled sincerely.
A few sniffs and a smile wormed its way onto Aurora's face. "Th-thank you."
"Now, allow me to help." The ghost raised its ethereal arms and slowly the ruins of the tower that had previously been destroyed by Laurine's weapon came together to restore themselves. Aurora, while a decent sorcerer, could never accomplish such a task and marveled in awe.
"That...That was amazing! Spectacular! That was...downright awesome! I can't begin to thank you enough um...Ah...In the time I've known you, you have never given me your name."
"Hmm..." The ghost went over what Aurora had just said over and over in his mind. "Just call me awesome!" he laughed.
Aurora grinned and complied. "Very well then...Chancellor Awesome."
"Ch-Chancellor? No, no! Haven't you already had enough trouble with second-in-commands? And besides, I'm no good with politics and I-" the ghost stammered.
"But you said you'd help!" Aurora looked as if she were on the verge of tears.
"Yes, but-
"There's no problem, then." she smiled.
The ghost hastily tried to make an excuse. "I-I can't very well be a chancellor without a body! Your royal advisor can't be a ghost! Maybe if you found a vessel for me...And it would have to be a good one. Vessel of a smart guy with a decent brain to hold all of my knowledge." He didn't believe that Aurora could succeed in this task, but quickly realized that Awesome Land and Dynasty City were crawling with dead bodies due to the recent war. Aurora disappeared into the tower for a moment before reappearing with Phiro's corpse.
"I had been holding this in my tower along with the body of one General Bara, intending to give them proper funerals. Their bodies were destroyed during the war, I assume, but I guess restoring the tower restored them as well. This body - Phiro - was a scientist and notable RIDLEY boss battle. He should have everything you need to take the position." Aurora smiled. It was clear that 'no' was not an answer that the ghost could give.
With a sigh, the ghost reluctantly agreed to the job. "But you have to find a way for me to enter the body. I can't just possess it...No...It would have to be linked to me. It would have to become MY body permanently."
"Not a problem." Aurora giggled, leading the ghost to the area with the Alspire and elemental pillars. She laid Phiro's corpse at the bottom of the Alspire, knowing that the energy properties would be able to permanently affix the ghost's spirit into the body.
"Of course...Resourceful, aren't you?" the ghost said.
Without replying, Aurora knelt before the Alspire and prayed. "Dear Alspire, pillar of life, please combine this soul with this body and give birth to the Chancellor who would bring the land back to order!" Phiro's body began to levitate and act like a vacuum cleaner, absorb the ghost into it. Once the process was complete, the body fell to the ground, now in use once more.
"So this is what it's like to have a physical form again..." he remarked to himself, rising to his feet. Aurora smiled at her more-or-less good deed.
"Mmhmm." Aurora said.
"Don't you think it will be a bit suspicious if everyone notices a man identical to one who has already passed on walking around?" the not ghost asked.
"An easy fix!" With a wave of her hand, Aurora had clad the not ghost in a pitch black, light bending hooded, face masked robe that could become invisible at will. "The robe won't remove itself until you find a more suitable replacement for it, so don't worry about being discovered." she explained.
"Thanks..." the not ghost replied, mildly displeased with having agreed to Aurora's terms. He enjoyed being a ghost.
"Well, now that you're among the living and physical, you're free to help me, correct, Chancellor Awesome?" she giggled.
"Of course...Chancellor Awesome...Nice ring to it." Chancellor Awesome laughed. "Well, now that that's all settled, I suppose I'd better tend to the country." and with that, Chancellor Awesome traveled to Dynasty City.

---Dynasty City---
Richard Cauldwell ordered the COMAS members to hold their magical fire with a hand wave, the ultimate signal. "Members, hold your fire!" he said for added emphasis. "It seems that the war has ended with the former Grand Imperatrix's death. There is no need in continuing her-
"No need to continue? Ha!" scoffed William, Richard's son. "Are you mad?! We have a vendetta against science, regardless of whether or not our current ruler does! We will fight the inhabitants to the death!" Tons of cheers erupted from the other members.
"Listen, son. Killing them isn't going to bring Cheryl-
"Don't you DARE mention Mother's name in this unholy place!" William roared. "We will destroy science in all its forms, with or without your consent, Father!" The cheers died down; roughly half of them were still approvingly shouting for William.
"William, be reasonable! Look around you!" Richard pointed around Dynasty City, littered in Bill Nye's traps and deceased citizens. "Do we really want to carry this out? Revenge against all of science for one accident isn't going to-
"ENOUGH!" William yelled, staring fiercely into Richard's eyes. He slammed Nixendara (staff) upon the ground. "If you're going to turn your back on the ideals you set for this group, so be it!" William turned around to the rest of the organization. "Just don't expect to survive!" William screamed. The ring that sat at the top of his staff started glowing intensely, and a pitch black portal appeared in the center, growing wildly. At once, Richard and William sensed something different about the portal.
"William, I have told you countless times that I do NOT approve of this so-called dimensional magic! Turn that portal off RIGHT NOW!"
"Hahahaha..." William's hair covered his eyes, which shone brightly. "Fool...This power...It is no longer the Veral Dimension which I can manipulate. No, it seems that dimension is long gone! I...I have finally realized the power of the Null-Void! Allow me to demonstrate!" William held his staff threateningly toward Richard, the portal in its center growing until it was about the size of a fully grown man. Slowly the portal began to suck Richard in.
"Ah! S-Son! What are you doing? Stop this nonsense at once!" Richard demanded.
"Oh, no...I think I will continue. To serve as an example for anyone who would dare oppose my power...The Null-Void's power..." William spat, leaving his staff upon the ground as it continued to absorb everything in sight. He walked around to the other side where Richard was struggling to escape before pushing him through the portal, his body now fully within the Null-Void.
Without a hint of regret or remorse, William picked up his staff, the portal sealed, and he said "Now, is there anyone who would dare join my father in the depths of the Void?" After a minute of silence, William sensed that no one was foolish enough to try it out. "Good. If that's the case, we continue our assault on Dynasty City after more preparation!" The COMAS members cheered, and the organization moved back to Awesome Land to recoup.
Chancellor Awesome, who had been observing the entire spectacle from behind his mask, ran up to Bill-Nye's tower to speak with him about the news.

Xadam, Myrxxan, Konig, and Viper all stood in the middle of Dynasty City. "The war is over." Viper muttered.
Konig nodded. "Yes, but these damn COMAS members don't know when to give up." he said with a growl. "Can we just mop them up already and be done with it?"
Myrxxan shook his head. "No...that I think we'll leave to the heroes of Awesome Land." He said. Xadam snorted.
"Okay, so what do we do then?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Durzo and Hermit were on the far end of the *ahem* party boat. "So...what are you going to do now?" Hermit asked. Durzo shrugged.
"Remain here, probably. This is my home and I'll look after through the ages." He said distantly. Hermit nodded.
"I think.." Hermit began. "I think I might head back to the Sea of Sand, if possible."
"No clue...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zais and Lord General Puu warped over to Aurora. "Why hello there." Zais said cheerily. "So I have decided...I'm not going to take that government position. Instead, I will leave my general, Lord General Puu in my stead." He nodded toward the moogle.
"Hi there, kupo!"

"Wh-What?! You're abandoning the country and leaving a...bunny teddy bear bat thing in your stead?" Aurora was as shocked as she was disturbed and confused by the moogle. "Surely you'll reconsider? You were going to be in charge of Homeland Security, defending the country against would-be threats! You can't possibly expect me to give that power to this...thing?!"

Zais began to sweat suddenly. 'Err..I assure you, he is more than qualified..." He trailed off. Puu stared Aurora with an increasingly disturbing look that screamed 'I'm going to kick your ass in ways you didn't know were possible'.
"And I will check in often." He added.

((We have enough dimensions as it is, and even so a Cow-Void wouldn't help you...or Cow-girl. She is trapped there for eternity until she is erased.)) Aurora sighed end stared at Puu, unable to comprehend his expression. "Well, as leader of Homeland Security, you can...um...start defusing any traps that were left in the ground from the war. Try not to...get killed..." Aurora smiled, disappearing completely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alastor looked around on the ship to see if he could find Aurora, wondering where she had gone. He was about to ask Leon where she was, but Leon was too busy whistling a certain song. He approached two of the others, Cybele and Galiana, assuming they might have an idea where she was. He tapped Galiana on the shoulder, only to cringe in fear and disgust at her disfigurement. "Um...Uh...What...Your face? Destroyed...Poison?" came Alastor's string of nonsense. |

Galiana clearly showed deep depression and horror at his reaction. "Yes, Laurine poisoned me. Twice."

"Oh, well that's an easy enough fix, I think...As you may recall, I am...was...Something...Well, I held the position of Guardian and head of the Science and Technology department of the Awesome Land Empire. I know quite a bit about medication as well, though not nearly as much as Laurine did about poison in her time." Alastor, against his wishes, looked into Galiana's face to assess the damage.
"Still, it shouldn't be all that difficult to repair your face somewhat...Although I can't guarantee that your face will be turned back to normal completely. It seems that some of the poison has lingered there for quite some time." Alastor examined her. "Hold still for just one moment. This should help a bit..." Alastor touched Galiana's face with the tip of his index finger, a pale blue light emanating from it. Slowly, a mask of ice surrounded Galiana's face. Before long, her entire face was completely covered with an icy mask, save for her nostrils.
"Keep that mask on...Not that you can take it off." Alastor laughed, able to look at her face more easily. "It should reduce the swelling over time enough for me to operate. The poison in your face seems resistant to healing magic, so I'll have to fix it manually. Consider it the least I can do...I'm extremely responsible for letting Laurine get so far in her plans. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be reading up on surgery and trying to find Aurora. You wouldn't happen to know where she is, would you?" Alastor asked, ignoring the fact that he had encased Galiana's mouth in ice.

Cybele sighed. She gave up on trying to remember what she forgot. It would come to her eventually. "I saw Leon talking to her a little ago. I haven't seen her since." Cybele glanced at Galiana. She was shivering and staring directly at Alastor. She couldn't really tell if this was out of anger or gratitude.

"Mmhmm..." Alastor inquisitively stared at Leon from a distance, wondering what he had done with Aurora. "Thank you, Sibling Killer." Alastor nodded, walking over to Leon and deciding to retry his attempt at getting an answer.
"Excuse me." Alastor cleared his throat and tapped Leon's shoulder. Bad move. Leon instinctively whipped right around and sent Alastor crashing into Cybele and Galiana with a magical wave.
"Who DARES tap the great Cap'n L? Yer askin' fer a world of hurt!" Leon saw no one behind him (since he had just sent the only one crashing into more people) and growled, turning back around.
"Ow..." Alastor groaned
