An end, a new beginning

[srwu_mods]

"This is it."

Time has passed after the Lady has fallen and Apollonius "Loni" Gavin was dealt with for the final time. It seems as if Earth became a peaceful place - possibly an illusion, as true peace is never permanent. Someone will always fight, or abuse others for personal gain. Even now, troublesome and worryig groups are somewhere out there, some outside Earth and some within human society. The rogue Zentradi, VIPER, greedy eminences who guided Fumerco and so many more...

And yet, dangers - the type that can be fought by an organisation like Unity Group, are for now over. Little by little Project Unification was nearing disbanding, and now it is truly over.


"Huffman left already, to deal with his 'research'. Looks like everyone's returning to their old pre-UG posts. I'll miss commanding a ragtag bunch instead of an actual military unit."


"A ragtag bunch that the media is mad about. Don't get swarmed by reporters or let that fame get to your heads. But then, I suppose you all are part of the group that saved the world."

"We'd never do that if Project Unification didn't work together. I won't forget that: I know many of our members are going back to civilian life, but if you want to transfer to one of ESUN's other units, there's a commendation waiting. And not just from me - Kazahara said he hopes he'll get to see some of you again. If he misbehaves just tell me... Is this still recording?"


"Of course it is. It always is."

...


"..."

All the time, Inspector Jou kept to himself. He is one of the last few to leave Sakihama Base.

"My millenia-old mission is over. Maybe now I'll be able to die in peace, without regrets."

"But for now, there's still life ahead of me. Ahead of everybody."

The story is over. But even if it's not being recorded, even if history's annals have nothing to say about it - life goes on.

[No responses to NPCs here. Instead, this is a post for writing what happened to your characters after the game ended. Or you can write your own dedicated post, as was already the case for several characters.

This is the final mod-written post of the game. Thanks for staying with us, everyone!]

Izuru went through a brief time as an instructor himself, sharing his experience with a new generation of Majestic Princes. But his goal was to see the stars, and that's what he did. As a space explorer he visited planets - Cybertron, Geb, and so many others, uninhabited or not!

But even if he was gone for long periods of time sometimes, he never forgot who he left on Earth. His friends, his family, and Kei.

His drawing skills have eventually gotten better through sheer practice. Well, okay - a little better.

Leos & Lana

[break_away_from_fear]

Leos Klein. The Mercenary. The Nine-Breaker. Leader of the Frighteners. A Murderer who had much blood on his hands. The man who would have brought down Phobos upon the Earth... found peace. His therapy continued and though it would be a long while before he would be allowed to venture into the world without the supervision of others, he found a life beyond fighting.

Though he could not change the world through violence... he was able to do so in the peaceful life his friends had granted to him. He continued to assist Flit in researching the ancient Martian technologies and the children's books he spent time writing - all of which were well disguised exploits of the Unity Group - later Project Unification - made fit for public consumption continued to draw a surprising amount of interest.



Lana 'Zwei' Nielsen had a peculiar family, but one she would not trade for anything in the world. Sometimes memories of her previous incarnation came back as time went on, causing her grief and nightmares... but she had a second chance. And one day she could make things right and make up for what had been done.

As Project: Formula Front grew in popularity, so did her media exposure. The reigning Champion - Hustler Nine and her AC Cueball (Sadly she was never able to correct the typo as the name was meant to be CuTeball). Yet she never put on airs or grew arrogant, instead encouraging her rivals and all contestants to train hard, have fun and give it everything they had. It was a game. It was their game. And they would have the time of their lives.

Mizuki and Solaris

[empress_without_a_throne]

Having learned lessons about how to function and not live to merely defeat your adversaries, Solaris fared considerably better after the dissolution of Project Unification than they did when the Great Black Void was first defeated. Growing old and wishing to retire after nearly twenty-five years of leading the group, Director Harper began to take Mizuki under his wing and prepare her for leading the group. The plan was disaster relief, with David, Lagardia, and Zankuro to be trained to be a new Solaris team.

However, in the midst of the restructuring, danger struck. An abstract alien force attacked, using the Director as a vessel with which to manifest, and Mizuki barely defeating it and saving the Director though he was left comatose. Exhausted and bedridden, Mizuki was forced to stay on the sidelines as Acting Director, but resolved to see Solaris lead the charge against this new threat and stop it before it threatened the world.

Lagardia helpfully was able to explain that these entities were the "Empty Ones", creatures that could only exist in empty space, and who would reproduce by asexual division as the universe continued to expand. Their previous attempt at reproduction had occurred during the reign of, and been halted by, the Ebon Court. But there was no Court anymore. Someone else would have to ensure humanity's safety to take back the light and lives stolen by the Empty Ones.

And that team was... the SolTaker team!

Hetepheres served as the Gebian ambassador on Earth for a few more years. After that, she tried to spend equal time on Geb and Earth both, not wanting to abandon either her homeworld nor the planet she got to love, and those she grew close to. And if either world needed protection, she and Scaraber were always ready to fight once again.

Geb continued its relations with Earth, both worlds exchanging their culture, resources, and scientific discoveries. Gebian tourists became a pretty common sight on Earth, and vice versa.

With the crises over, and earth returned to a measure of stability, Dido Sybil finally hung up her pilot suit and put ShelLancer in storage...though not after restoring it to pristine condition...just in case.

Stepping back into the support role, Dido rose through the ranks of Solaris, landing the post of Chief Designer. As a full-fledged, certified Super Robot Scientist, she developed a full suite of eccentricities–gaudy Hawaiian shirts, straw sandals, a pet crab and the most Glorious of Lab Coats.

When the Empty Ones attacked, she was ready, cranking out new Sol Machines to take the stage with Zankuro's BlackNight and form...SolTAKERRRRR!

Dido's relationship with her mother Alexia, plus her Sybil-lings Hyacinth and Persephone, continued to improve over time. Even after they tried to conquer the Earth Sphere with their Superlaser.
