Epilogue


A/N: You know those famous post credit scenes in marvel movies which always hype everyone ? Well, that is kinda the same thing !

Sorry, no image for this. Use your imagination, for once.

~3rd POV~

~In an unknown place...~

Craaaackle !

A flame was slowly burning on the flamepit, observed by someone.

We were actually inside a mysterious area where only the red colour was illuminating the large place.

Despite the burning flame, the place was incredibly calm, and there were winds of puffs around the area...

"..."

Then, the mysterious person walked through the hallway, with a cup of wine, and each of her steps walking on the incredibly elegant tile.

The person seemed to be a woman.

She was wearing a dark coat with long sleeves, and seemed quite amused.

Click ! Click !

Only the sound of the lady's shoes could be heard through the large and dark place.

As she looked amused, she then started to sing a song.

'"Vosagu gus comprehen..."'

'" i gwost, i scela, i gworinist..."'

She was singing with a dead but frightening tongue, and her glamorous voice made her vocals quite bloodcurdling...

Then, she didn't have trouble to walk in the darkness of another room where she entered.

Instead, she seemed to enjoy being in the dark, and she continued singing.

'"Vediginist agis perlou obito...'"

'"Gworlini goh dogosigorous morte...'"

While singing, it seemed like she was praying tribute to something ominous. It was like she was speaking a message to deep in the underworld...

"..."

She arrived in a certain area which seemed to be a cell. The barrels were enchanted to cancel any form of magic... and someone was chained up inside.

The lady went towards the cell, and stood next to a damaged object which was put outside the cell.

The woman spoke with an amused smile.

"So, how do you feel ? Until now, you have never removed your helmet since you arrived. Am I wrong ?"

"..."

It was a damaged yellow helmet which was put at her feet.

The individual inside was now a prisoner inside the cold cell.

His body was hurt, he was completely exhausted, and he was sitting on the cold rocky ground of his prison, his face hidden by darkness.

"It's... it's true that the air looks much more pleasant to breath without mask...", he answered her in a weak but cold voice.

It seemed like he has been captured by her after he left the Blue Hell, and he was still inside the game.

"Hmm... We could say you're such in a pathetic state since we found you... Did they at least bring food to you ?", asked her the woman.

"Not yet... But at least, I never got such an appetite in power, unlike you..."

"Hu hu hu !...", his visitor calmly chuckled at her remark as she added. "I like when people take the time to neatly use such metaphors while they speak... It made their language even richer, just like this world !"

"..."

The man kept watching at her with a weak but annoyed gaze.

The woman turned her attention towards the helmet at her feet.

"We could say that thing really helped you, during your trip... But since you had the bad luck to meet Galdera's veil when you entered... you had never removed it since... until now, of course.", she then puts her hand above her chest while watching his face. "Though, now I understand why you preferred to keep it so bad, and I'm so so sorry for you..."

"You know... what happened to you is even worse.", he replied to her directly.

"Oh... This is nice !... I would have not expected you to feel pity for someone like me... Kof ! Kof !"

She suddenly coughed as she took a white tissue, and spit blood on it.

This woman had a disease which infected her status, but despite her weakness, she still remained calm with a smile on her lips.

"Yes... despite all that anger that you point towards myself, there is still a part of your humanity which tells you to feel worried to anyone, even those who stands in your way. However, I have good news for you: soon, my disease will be cured, for once and for good. Seriously, do you really believe I would have spent all these last years at standing idly ?..."

"And you... why would have I bothered to make all this way here if that was just to find you ?"

She laughed, amused by the guts of her prisoner.

The man inside sighed and felt ashamed towards her behaviour.

"Really... you become much worse that I feared..."

"I guess that you preferred me to stay in bed because of my disease, right ?... We all have learnt this rule once in our life, like many others.", she then decided to walk around the place, feeling dreamy as she narrated. "There are a lot of rules that we couldn't change in our universe, such as water extinguishing fire, or the sun going down exclusively at West... There are so many laws which make this world more unique, but as some of them can be beneficial... Others aren't, or aren't good enough for the sake of humanity... All I want is to build a better world for everyone."

"Well, you aren't the only one...", mumbled the ex-yellow helmet man.

The woman simply chuckled while drinking her wine as she declared.

"What a perspicacious person ! Sometimes, you remind me of him a lot...", she then approached his cell and put her hand over the bars, looking at him with dreamy look. "When you arrived, I was glad to have you by my side... It was such a shame, that, you finally betrayed us... You would have been one of my best men..."

"Oh ?... Really ?"

"Of course...", replied the woman while now watching at him with a frown, her hand holding tightly one of the cell's bars in her suppressed anger, but she smiled again. " Though, do you really believe your betrayal was unexpected ? Were you truly sure you would then escape us so easily ?"

"...you were just lucky...", muttered the prisoner when he finally declared. "Ah.... No, that's right, you weren't really..."

"...", the lady glared menacingly at him when she coughed again when she became more serious. "You know... Despite all your schemes and plots to prevent the expansion, the illumination of the light pillars were just one of my many plans... And also... we do not destroy Galdera as easily as you thought... Be aware that I have such a great faith in the dark god, greater than I could ever imagine !..."

"I don't want to imagine anything...", the man declared, disgusted by her beliefs.

"And the boy... You had many opportunities to capture him and bring him to me, and you always used the excuse that he was well protected... But you also showed him more of your true nature since you started stalking him, and this is what unmasked you !", she drank her wine again, finishing her cup as she added. "In fact, people would always be ready to put aside their pride to accomplish their objectives !... So, tell me: if it is not for the power residing in him, why would you help a kid you barely knew ? Aside of just being... kind but weak?"

The ex-yellow helmet man took a bit of his time before answering her.

"Well... Each time I took my time to spy on him... The more I observed this lad getting fend of himself... the more he was reminding me if myself when I too, I felt lonely...", he declared to her as he slightly moved his chains. "Indeed, I might have lost against you this time... But this boy didn't. You and your men will have such a hard time to retrieve him... Did you know what HE has done last time I was with him ?"

"Hu hu hu !...", the lady chuckled again, as she coughed in her tissue when she declared. "He's really impressing, I know... No one, not even you, were able to do things that he did... But why using such powers for a bunch of individuals while we can use them for much much more ?... He's still too young to understand his full potential..."

"...but he is mature enough to understand how crazy you are.", he replied to her directly.

The lady calmly sighed, amused by the brash behaviour of her guess.

"Well, I would be glad to meet this boy for real.", she then turned behind her, watching at a few installations as she declared. "It would be a great occasion to test the next generation of Elementmen to get him..."

Farther in the darkened room, there were dozens of giant glass tubes filled of liquid and purple magic.

Inside each of these capsules, there were individuals who were being created while being filled of magic.

They were all similar: there were wearing the same outfit than the red Elementmen who attacked Primrose in the desert, but they were instead purple, and some of them were women.

The lady, greatly interested by these creations, declared with convictions.

"Soon, we will have an entire army of them... And all those who will dare standing in our way will be doomed !"

"If you keep continuing following your plans, if you let that dark god messing with you again... It's you, who will be doomed !", shouted weakly the ex-masked man.

As she turned at him after his remark, she sighed while grinning madly.

"Hu-huh !... We could say you have still the guts to speak to me like this although you have lost !... Maybe this boy managed to repel the dark god, but there will still be many occasions, for me, to bring him back to where he truly belongs... And then, will you still dare facing to me like this when everything you did will be finally use..."

"My lady !..."

"..."

One of her guards went inside the room.

"My lady... It's time.", he declared to her.

"Very well.", she calmly nodded at him, and started leaving the room alongside one of her men, as she spoke to the prisoner with a smile. "My apologize, but I don't have enough time to take care of you... Though, I believe that you will still be useful in a way or another, with us... And I don't think that will please you !"

"..."

The ex-yellow helmet man stayed silent, feeling angry, while the lady abandoned him in the darkness of his cell.

Then, the woman arrived in another large room with a circular stone table, where a total of 6 magic spheres were dispersed.

And a front of her, there was a bigger one, filled of magic like the one which she used to communicate with the yellow helmet man.

She stroked it with both hands and then...

FWIIII !!!

FWIIIIIIIIIIII !

Her orb shined a brighter blue light and became connected with the 6 smaller orbs.

Then, 6 blue silhouettes of different persons appeared behind each small orbs, shown by each of them as they were covered by a mist.

In reality... she was communicating remotely with them.

"Welcome... All of you...", declared the lady with a smile on her lips.

"'Well... It had been a few years since didn't have a meeting..."', said calmly a male silhouette with a slightly buried voice.

'"Hmm... Something tell me that we will all work together more than never... That time had finally come to come out of the shadows after so long..."', added a blurred female voice.

The lady calmly chuckled as she finally spoke.

"That's right... After so many years of patience, we will become more active than ever... We might have failed in releasing the pillars of light, but the expansion project is still topical..."

'"Tss... I knew that it was a bad idea to place our trust in this man..."', declared another male voice in an annoyed tone.

'"Well, I do not think it will matter anymore, now that we will establish a new strategy for the Expansion."', spoke a deep male voice who then asked to the leader. '"So... What is our new objective... lady Lyblac ?"'

Lyblac.

That was the name of the leader of the organization.

She smiled at the mention of her name as she declared.

"My dear Obsidian council... Our new objective to release the dark god and realize the expansion is simple... Starting for now, we will concentrate all our efforts for opening the gate of Finis !"

~

A/N: Everyone, sing with me !

Who has been behind all these schemes ?!

It was Lyblac all along !

Who's been expanding everything through light beams ?!

It was Lyblac all along !!!

She is insidious !

She is capricious !

And blah blah blah...

I'm sorry, but I cannot just sing you the entire song. Else, I'll use it as an excuse to make this A/N even longer...

Talking about song,  the song she did in the chapter is based on her main theme at the end of the game, the one with Latin vocals you know.

But it seemed there was no official lyrics, and it was hard to translate. For that, I had to look on a youtube video (from a now inactive account named "ElZeg") for the supposed lyrics.

Anyway, I hope you're all happy to see Lyblac of all people ! I can tell you she will be more prominent in the future !
