No one's POV

Sora's consciousness is slowly but surely regaining. He slowly opened his eyes only to see he was in the infirmary.

Sora: Eh...?

Sairaorg: Are you awake.

Sora looked over to his left only to see Sairaorg laying down on a bed next to him.

Sora: Sairaorg...

Sairaorg: Not bad. It may be the first time I've lost so satisfactory. However, I do not remember the last moment of it. There is only one thing I am sure of. It was the best battle of fist I have ever had.

Sora: I am too. I strangely feel great.

Suddenly, Sirzechs walked into the room.

Sirzechs: Excuse me.

Sora: Sirzechs!

Sora went to sit up, but Sirzechs held his hand up.

Sirzechs: Oh, it's fine. Stay as you are. Sora. Sairaorg. That was truly a great match. The higher ups were quite satisfied. That battle made everyone expect great things from the two of you. So Sairaorg. May I speak with Sora for a moment?

Sairaorg: Of course. Shall I excuse myself?

Sirzechs: No, I want you to listen as well. Sora, there is a talk about promoting you to mid-ranking devil.

Sora looked at Sirzechs shocked.

Sora: Eh? I-I'm being promoted?

Sirzechs: That's right. To be precise, it will be you, Issei, Kiba and Akeno. Everyone is counting on your future.

Sairaorg: Accept it, Sora Pendragon. You should become the Hero of the Underworld. Or rather, you should become the bridge of Peace for all of the race in the world.

Sora:...

Sirzechs: I will tell you the details at another time. But right now, I'm sure you are dying to see someone.

Sora: Th-That's right! Mio!

Suddenly, Mio, Jin, Azazel, and Artoria walked in surprising Sora when he finally saw Artoria.

Sora: Mio, Dad, Azazel! And...

Sora then looked at Artoria with eyes full of emotions.

Sora: Mom...

Mio: Sora!

Mio rushes in and hugged him tightly and Sora started crying and returned the hug. The hug between brother and sister, between lovers. As the two of them finally reunited with one another. And everyone just smile at the heartwarming scene.

Sora: Mio...

Mio: Sora... I missed you so much...

Sora: H-How? I thought I...

(Flashback)

Sora: Wha-Wha?

Mio: Big Brother...

(Present)

Sora: I thought I killed you....?

Sora couldn't understand what had happened. He knows for sure that he had drove through his invisible sword at Mio's heart. So he couldn't undertand why she was alive. Mio only smile at him and looked at Artoria.

Mio: Your mother saved me. She was there when it happened.

Sora: Eh...

Sora then looked at Artoria surprised. But he couldn't met her in the eyes, neither could Artoria. It was understandable. Sora had waited his whole life just to see her. He thought he was abandon by her. And she was also the reason why he was ostracized at the Hero Village.

Mio: She used Avalon to heal my wounds. But the wound I received was much bigger than I imagine. So that's why I couldn't see you right away.

Sora:...

Sora still couldn't say a word. He finally get to see his Mother after so long. But now that she's here, he doesn't know what to do or say. Artoria smile sadly and spoke first.

Artoria: I'm sorry. For everything...

Sora: You do?

Artoria: I'm sorry, for abandoning you. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I'm sorry you had to suffer because of me.

Sora: I heard from Gilgamesh that he was the reason that you had to went into hiding. But what really happened?

Sora stare at her longingly. It was clear that he wanted answer and Artoria could only gave him a small smile.

Artoria: It's true. I was supposed to marry Gilgamesh. Those who were born in the Noble of Heroes, had to have their arranged marriage. But, one day, I met your Father and I fell in love. So we had our relation in secrets.

Sora:...

Sora could only stay quiet as he listened to his Mother who was telling him her stories.

Artoria: By the time we had you, our relation was exposed to the world. So we were targeted. I was weakened that day, since I just gave birth to you so I couldn't fight. And Minato was killed protecting both me and you. And to protect you from harm, I ran away into hiding and left you in an orphanage in secrets.

Sora: I see...

Sora hair was covering his eyes as he continued to listen when suddenly Artoria started crying.

Artoria: I'm truly sorry. I don't want to involve you into the affairs that I brought into myself.

Sora: Did you regret?

Artoria: Eh...?

Sora: Did you ever regret falling in love with Dad? Did you ever regret to gave birth to me?

Tears started streaming down Sora's face as everyone could only looked at him.

Sora: I always thought you hated me. I always thought that you abandon me, because you regret ever giving birth to me. I always wonder, why? Why did you leave me? I was bullied, ostracized, beaten up. Growing up, without the love of a father or mother. All this time... All this time I've been thinking. I was born only to suffer... so what's my purpose for existing in this world?

Artoria:...

Sora then looked at Artoria with eyes fulled of tears.

Sora: Please tell me. Did you regret giving birth to me?

Artoria could only stay silent for a few seconds before smiling with tears on her eyes as well.

Artoria: There's no way I regret giving birth to you.

Sora: Mom...

Artoria: There's no way I regret it. The reason why I kept going is because I was always thinking of you. You are the symbol of my love, Sora.

Sora: Mom! I-I always wanted to see you! I wanted to meet you! So badly!

Artoria: I do too! My son! My son!

Artoria ran towards Sora's bed and hugged him tightly and Sora started crying even louder and return the hug.

Sora: Mom! UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Artoria: I'm here! I'm right here!

Sora and Artoria cried as they hugged each other. Sora finally get to feel the warmth of a Mother. A mother's love. And now he finally get to feel it.

Jin: A Mother and Son reunited.

Azazel: Yeah.

Sairaorg: An amazing sight.

Sirzechs: Indeed.

Mio: I'm so happy for you, Sora.

Rias and the ORC, along with Basara and the other Heroes all walked in and saw what was happening. Basara and Maria quickly rushed towards Mio and hugged her and Mio returned the hug and explained everything. They all looked at Sora and Artoria crying and hugging each other and they all smiled at him. As Sora continues to cry and hug Artoria, he heard the voice of Jiraiya as if he was standing beside him.

Jiraiya: Every good story got to have a Happy Ending. I'm glad you were able to find yours, Sora...

Sora(mind): Master... Thank you. Thank you, for everything.

(Timeskip)

It's been a few days since the Rating Game with Sairaorg and his family. A lot has happened since then. Mio started living with Sora and Issei's mansion. Basara and the other Heroes visited almost everyday. And now, at Kuoh Academy, they were having their school festival underway.

Asia: Welcome to the Mansion of the Occult.

Rias: Okay. Cheese.

Sora and the others were working all on the section, which was a haunted house and maid cafe mixed together as everyone had been having a great time. And as soon as Sora came in in his butler outfits, the Occult Mansion was immediately storm by girls wanting to take pictures with him.

Sora: Here's your drink...

Female Student: 😊 U-Um. May I please take a picture with you.

Sora: Why of course ma'am.

Female Students: KYAAAAAAAAAA MASTER SORAAAAAAAA!!!!

Sora: Calm down! Calm down! One at a time!!

Rias and the other just smile awkwardly at the scene. But regardless, they all enjoyed their time together. As the day went on, Sora has went to the club room, knowning that Rias would be there, and he walked in seeing Rias, as she looked at him surprised.

Rias: Sora?

Sora: Yo...

Rias: Good job. The girls really enjoyed seeing you in a butler outfit.

Sora: It was a hassle though. Are you here alone?

Rias: This is the last festival for us third years. I just wanted to come back for a bit.

Sora: Yeah. You, Akeno and Sona are leaving this year. And I heard that Mio is going to transferred here next year. The same class as me.

Rias: Ahaha! I'm sure the class will be on a riot.

Sora: Yeah. I bet they are gonna flip at the Rias look alike. Probably assuming you guys are sisters. But, that's not what I'm here. I came here to talk to you, alone...

Rias: Alone?

Rias looked confused and Sora continue to smile at her. Before he changed into a serious face and walked over to her scaring her a bit.

Rias: Wha-What is it?

Sora:...

Sora didn't say anything before he grabbed her right hand with his.

Sora: Rias Gremory...

Rias: Y-Yes...?

Sora went to his knees and Rias looked at him surprised.

Sora: My whole life, I was always afraid. Afraid of losing everything like when I lost Mio. After I lost her, I completely sealed my heart away. But...

Rias: But?

Sora: But after I met you, my heart slowly but surely started to heal. You healed my broken heart, my sorrow. You accepted me with open arms when I thought that I lost everything. That is why...

Sora's left hand than went inside his pocket and pull out a ring surprising Rias.

Rias: Sora...

Sora When the time comes, Rias Gremory. Will you, marry me...?

Rias looked at Sora completely shocked, now crying. Her heart felt like it was about to explode. Her happiness is through the roof.

Rias: Sora...

Rias continue to cry but it was tears of joy.

Rias: Yes! Yes! YES!!! I will! I'm so happy! I will marry you!

Sora: Rias...

Sora smile and put the ring on her ring finger. Rias smile happily looking at the ring in her hand and she close her eyes. Sora also close his eyes and leaned onto her trying to kiss her, but...

Everyone: AAAAA!!!

Sora and Rias: ?!?!

Both Sora and Rias looked back only to see the ORC all spying at them as the two of them looked at them shocked and started blushing hardly.

Sora: Wha?! Wha?! You all?!

Asia: Um, congratulation, Big Brother, Big Sister! I'm so happy that you finally proposed to her!

Xenovia: With this, they are an official husband and wife!

Akeno: Ara~Ara~. Now I can focus on having him cheat!

Jeanne: With this Rias has a huge lead! But one day, I'll be the one too hold his hand!

Koneko: The true battle starts now.

Kiba: Sorry. I was watching too.

Issei: Kuh! I can't keep letting Bro getter the better of me! I swear I'll surpass you!

Gasper: That was so moving!

Rosweisse: I will allow illicit sexual relations, just for today.

Sora and Rias started blushing even further and shout at them.

Sora: SCREW YOU ALL!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ALL SPYING WHEN I FINALLY WORKED THE COURAGE TO DO THIS....!!!!!

Rias: GOODNESS, ALL OF YOU!!! THAT WAS MY ONE SPECIAL SCENE!!! WHAT ARE YOU ALL GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?!?!

Rias then looked at Sora annoyed while still blushing hardly.

Rias: Th-This is also your fault, Sora! It's because you confessed in a place like this!

Sora: What?! Now it's my fault?!

ORC: Just take responsibility, Sora!

Sora: Screw you all!!

Xenovia and Irina then came rushing in and push Sora and Rias into each other.

Xenovia and Irina: Now, time for the romantic kiss!

Then they closed the door leaving Sora and Rias behind as the two of them continue to blush before looking at each other smiling.

Sora: Rias...

Rias: Sora...

Sora then closed the distance between him and Rias and he did a passionate kiss. During the kiss, Sora and Rias both tears in their eyes. Rias was happy that Sora finally proposed to her. While Sora cried out of happiness that he finally found his Happy Ending in his story. It was all thanks to the girl standing in front of him who had healed her heart.

A/N: And there you go, the finale of Phantom King (Hero) and the end for this book for the time being. I don't know when I'll continue since Season 5 has yet to be announced. Or I'll probably continue through the Light Novel, but no promises. And as always, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
