There was suddenly loud clapping as System Mario and System Luigi appeared before the group with the latter proclaiming. "Congratulations, you got the Good Ending...you should be proud of yourselves..." System Luigi commented. "Yes, all of you slaying that God has given us ample power and then some to reset this reality for Phase 2 Testing." Kenneth grabbed the side of his head before he asked. "Wait a minute...this is a happy ending, why are still intending to Reset?" System Mario then said. "How interesting, you believe that we wouldn't reset this place just because you got the Good Ending? Noble...but fruitless." System Luigi responded. "The desire of a perfect world by our King of Ideals overrides the simple concept of a Good Ending or a Bad Ending...it is what they desire more than anything...something an NPC like you wouldn't understand." Kenneth then argued. "But you're Mario and Luigi...shouldn't you want the betterment of others?!"
System Mario and System Luigi lowered their hoods showing that while they resembled the two brothers, their eyes were a dark-blue and lacked life and emotion...as though they weren't even human. System Mario remarked. "The so-called betterment of others only leads down destructive paths, families ripped apart, couples changing....things that would not work in an absolute perfect world. Mario made a huge mistake deciding to build a family with Peach...it led to an NPC like you...and there are millions more mistakes that the King of Ideals intends to rectify." System Luigi then asked. "But here's the question....what would you do if there was such a perfect utopia...a perfect utopia unable to be destroyed by anyone else....a utopia that cannot be interfered with...a world without you in it..." Akechi then argued. "It would be a world without free will or choice!" System Mario remarked. "Yes, sacrifices needed to the greater good...Shadow Mario!" Shadow Mario would soon appear between System Mario and System Luigi with glowing blue eyes on the group.
"You seriously wouldn't reconsider? What would Peach think of both of you?" Kenneth argued before System Mario said. "There is no point in trying to appeal to us, we are the System's Player 1 and Player 2...and much like that Bugster King....you'll soon be dealt with and submit to paradise."

"And what gives you the right to decide other world's futures?" Daniel said, turning on them. "What Yuri has accomplsihed is that that destiny can be overturned, he was destiend to lsoe the love of his life and possibl relive that cycle over and over aain if eh didn't by some mriacle, learn how to break that curse, he has had a lot of crap done to him, losing hsi parents, the love of his life, almost losing his own personaility to a different curse... Your reset may very well undo it all and make him lose Alice again."
"Your King of Ideals may want this perfect apradise or utopia but I assure you, I am not going to decide entire world's futrues just because the outcome was either a good or bad ending." Daniel pointed at them.
"You simply don't want to admit that in other timelines or variations, those people did something you couldn't, you're just running away from facing reality and cannot accept the fact people can freely choose, If your Peach.. No.. Everyone from your world could see you now, sacrificing other people's potential futures but you unwilling to accept change since you believe it's all for the greater good, making yourselves believe the lives of so many potnetial deaths and futures are just, ensuring your paradise becomes rality, you aren't heroes for it." Dnaiel stated calmly.
"You are just simply manchildren, screaming about what it is you want and using the excuse of a perfect paradise tailor-made to fit your criteria and say it's for the greater good, the last person who said it was for the gretaer good, he left that child in an abusive home and intended to let him die with someone else's soul lodged in their head, Did you know his godfather was innocent of all charges yet that man saw fit to leave him in that hellhole, nobody even attempted to give him a trial." Daniel said, getting a bit heated.
"So the answer is no.. If you want to reset this reality..." Daniel withdrawn Escalvatine which he never usually did. "Then I, as the king of Ideals will stand in your way and destroy that perfect utopia you long for, let me give you a fair warning since you deigned to approach us... I haven't unleashed this sword's full power but if you know Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish, this weapon is as powerful as that and I'll gladly swing it and erase your pretentious asses." Dnaiel said, he was deathly calm, but his aura was- No, it was the presence of intent to kill was bearing down on them.
"So what's it going to be? Attempt a reset and just see how much power you know your master has that you both acklowledge but it'll be instead without any forms of restraint or you can retreat and realize you are both are in over your heads for being two simple plumber wearing pants that are too big for you... So please... Give me a genuinely valid reason to cut loose of everything and make you both realize there are things in any world you do not want to have their eyes on you." Daniel said very calmly but if anyone knew, Daniel was on the end of his patience and restraint.

""Venting huh...? Wonder which poor world became the recpient of that old hag's tempper tantrums..." Reaper said as the drink came and he bloe won it to cool it down and sipped it. "Interesting... Hmm." Reaper leant back into his seat, conteplating. "That depends really, I assume you have seen some interesting worlds since you have left your ward to do she pleases." Reaper stated.

'If he's summoning that, he means it.' Chelsea thought, looking at him. Nibi said, 'Imagine if he had that along with displaying Kyubi's power.' 'No thank you.' Chelsea thought, looking at the sight in front of her and keeping quiet.
Suddenly Ann snapped her whip at Mario, wrapping it around his arm. "Now, wait a minute!" She shouted, glaring at him. "You think this is some game where if things don't go your way, you're just gonna reset it! Kenn isn't some random side character!" "Yup, he's not a minor NPC!" Futaba shouted, sticking out her tongue. Makoto held Kenn and kissed him on the lips while Haru held him as well.
-?-
"Who knows?" Shiro said, leaning back. "She has about 30 years give or take of hatred to let out. So best to let her get it all out so she doesn't have anything holding her back." Taking a breath, Shiro said, "Well, haven't seen much but there is a world based on ancient China where a young girl actually enjoys eating poisons, a unique personality there. What else, a young woman who is some kind of android or something. She looks human, but I'm not entirely what she is." He took a sip of his drink and asked, "How is your cloaked partner? Still feeding on the magic of innocent souls?"

System Mario was barely phased by Daniel's words and didn't even detect the presence of Ann's whip before addressing Daniel. "We've been through this song and dance before, you believe you're in the right and how you'll stop us when you'll just turn into the King of Ideals we and the System serve under...even then, that's not our call to rescind the reset...that's the System's call." Morgana then noted. "You two aren't Mario and Luigi!" System Luigi merely said. "Of course...we're merely shells directly under the System, we have zero humanity and will of our own..." System Mario on the other hand was starting to get annoyed seeing Kenneth being held and kissed. Ryuji then shouted. "What are you going to do now, asshole? We Phantom Thieves are just going to rebel against whatever shit you decide to throw at us." System Mario then stated. "This is extremely illogical! Why are you all not only willing to stay around him, but also throw away your own individuality and future...for that NPC!?"

Daniel spoke. "Because they aren't throwing away their indivduality or their future, they are human and choose to stride towards their goals, they don't need someoen or soemthign dictating their fates or futures, you are as you said, a system who follow whatever commands youa re given, you believe your way is the only solution when there are plenty other possibilites, technology can advance all it wants but it cannot beat the one thing, humanity's instinct to survive, you woudl just write off something as failure and don't bother trying different different scenarios." Dnaiel stated.
"We may be viewed as broken or illogical, but you udnerestimate humanity's tenacity and room to grow, even if you had even a drop of who you absed off on, you'd see things so mucn differently." Dnaiel added.
~?~
"It feeds whatever it cna get, but I see Hmm... I do not know what kind of worlds youa re refering to since you know there is so many, I presuem you have some ideas as to what to do with said indivduals..." Reaper sipped his drink. "I was also curious if you erhaps found anymore potential... allies since if I recall, theee's quite a loose cannon in the form of Basco, it is curious he hasn't attmept any allliance sliek with the Zangyack or... Dare I say it, backstab them since a I believe the quote is that a pirate always looks to profit." Reaper said, looking thoughtful, he wouldn't be surprsied if basco made some allainces only to kill is allies when they weren't of any use to him.

"Oh come on!" Futaba groaned. "The real world has nothing that is logical!" "Like when we each chose to become Phantom Thieves, we each have our reasons for being around him." Ann said. "We chose who we would want to be with." "Sides, we're Phantom Thieves." Haru said, smiling. "We always go against the system. In case you didn't know." "So we choose to be with him." Sumire said, Sophie nodded, hopping up and down.
'This System sounds like Naga's race, giving the things that make them different and unique.' Chelsea thought, gripping the strap of her bag.
-?-
"Well, there is something." Shiro said, pulling the orb out and setting it on the table. He noted Reaper's look at it, he said, "This is Double's Overlord power. I have no use or need for it. Maybe you cand use it for something. That is, if you want it."

System Mario was about to say something before both him and System Luigi were mildly shocked reverting them back to a neutral position and expression, data and information from the System itself flowing into their minds as their eyes had a purple glow to them. System Mario then spoke calmly. "So...the time loop has been broken by the Phantom Thieves..." System Luigi remarked. "Further analysis needed, but a broken time loop by a bunch of children could spell doom for our plans...we leave." On that note System Mario said. "This world may be spared, but the overall outcome for everyone remains the same regardless..." System Mario, System Luigi, Shadow Mario, and even the rest of the System's forces soon left. Kenneth looked at Makoto and then at Haru and everyone else before he simply said. "Thank you...how can I repay you all?" Akira merely said. "You don't need to pay us with money, we have your back...although some may want love from you." Kenneth merely said. "Thank you, girls, you've proven how far you'll go for me and I'm...well...grateful." He then kissed Makoto back.

Daniel resheathed Escalvatine as he repressed his aura, taking slow deep breaths as the enemy retreated, perhaps when he got back to Nophica's, he'll take a long nap or the most sensual relaxing bath ever to wind down from this or something, although the better question was where the way abck home would be since they did initally arrive in Asia and well, they were in Europe.
~?~
"I see... hmm, what kind of abiltites are we lookign at with that powerset?" Reaper asked, raising an eyebrow.

Chelsea calmly walked up to Daniel and touched his shoulder. She smiled and Lyse looked as a portal opened, everyone walked through the portal. Before stepping through, Chelsea looked back and smiled, sending a prayer that Alice and Yuri would be happy together now he was able to save her from her fate. Then she stepped toward.
Makoto blushed, walking with everyone.
-Nophica's Blossom-
Chelsea stretched as she stood in front of the gate and hug Stinger as he stepped up. Jill walked with Torgal and waved, "Welcome back."
-?-
"She rarely used the power, so I don't know." Shiro noted. "But I imagine it's the same as any First Woman. The power to grow Helheim flowers anywhere, time travel, communicating with souls, appearing anywhere. I believe she was one of the rare adults to have the power of Imagination, similar to the ToQgers." He closed his eyes to recall what information he knew about her as the First Woman.

"Still, something is bugging me...he mentioned something about a time loop being broken..." Yusuke remarked noting the last words said before asking. "What is that about?" Ryuji scratched his head. "Groundhog Day?" Akira rolled his eyes as Morgana said. "I don't think it's Groundhog Day, Ryuji....I think it's much bigger than that..." Kenneth held onto both Makoto and Haru as the others discussed what just happened and what it could mean.

"it's good to be back with how long it was in that world, I daresay that was probably the second longest visit ever." Daniel said, it was nice to see familiar sights, who knows, now with them back, they could take in more modern comforts since there was only so much one could do in the 1910's or so on, still, at least now they understood what kind of journey Yuri had done, though it was a shame they couldn't visit Karin's grave, that redheaded Grmen if dnaiel recalled, did somewhat stick to him like glue in a sense.. It could be that Karin perhaps suffered memory loss after that final batte or something.
"At least we know that Yuri's actually half-German and Japanese, bet that's not a origin people woudl expect considering... well if the World War occurs, Japan and Germany would always be on opposite sides." Daniel thought, wlel with Yuri's knowledge of the future, he'll likely come up with something to prematurely stop Rasputin and Nicolai thus ensuring Asmodeus and Astaroth never succeed in their plans.
~?~
"I see... Maybe there be someone who could probably put the power to better use than she can or something of the sort." Reaper noted

"Well, it's nice to see you back." Jill said with Torgal barking. Chelsea breathed, pulling back from Stinger and nodded, "Agreed. Well, I think I'll go see if Aqua has any lessons or anything for me to look over." Jill nodded, while Lyse waved, "Well, gonna hit the showers." She walked off and Stinger went in his own direction. Jill looked at him and asked, "So do you want some time alone or may Torgal and I join you?"
Futaba smiled, having her orange hair. Makoto breathed while Haru smiled, the two girls still holding Kenn.
-?-
"If you have a idea of who can use it, I'm curious to know." Shiro said, spilling his drink. "I did consider giving it to Lord Ohma, but I'm not sure he would have any idea of what to do with it. Considering the power he already has."

Kenneth quietly smiled enjoying the moment before trying to be a bit more affectionate as he started to kiss on Haru for a bit before switching over to Makoto trying to give her equal love only for Futaba to nearly glomp on him wanting her share, things of that nature. As that was going on Kai approached Daniel before telling him. "There you are, you've got three people waiting on you to get filed in."

Dnaiel looked as Jill asked if he wanted some time alone or some accompaniment but before he could answer that, kai stepped up and informed him three people were waiting on him. "Right, i'll be there." Daniels aid and thought. "No rest for the busy if that's a thing." Dnaiel thought and looked to Jill. "Perhaps after I am done with my appointment, you are more than welcome to join me and wait for me to finish." Daniel offered the suggestion to Jill.
~?~
"hHmm probably soem villian, you said those are those abilites, I think you also said, Helheim foanty can create fruit so perhaps coudl it be a chance for the villian to make their own army, it's a matter who'd be able to use all these abilites efficently." Reaper idly stated. "What about yourself, are you achieveing any personal goals you yourself set otu before you chose to become more or less your lasy's caretaker or... Lets put it mroe bluntly, her babysitter?" Reaper asked,
"Because I can't imagine you'd be merely content with that role, you do feed her what she wants to hear but take a step back to observe, if there's perhaps something you want accomplished, I'm curious... I'm sure you are aware me setting the Final Days upon worlds to bring despair to the worlds." Reaper stated, sipping his tea.

-Nophica's Blossom-
Chelsea stepped into a training room and saw Aqua talking with Kimberly and Trini. She saw Chelsea come in and waved, "Hey. I think I know what to do to help with the White Mage sphere and maybe try with some of the other spheres." "But you're saying White Mage is the prioprity?" Chelsea asked, tilting her head. Aqua nodded, "Healing is as important as defensive and offensive magic. So knowing how and when to heal is a important thing to learn for a magic user." Chelsea nodded and changed into White Mage.
"So what are the teams?" She asked. Aqua said, "Me and Trini against you and Kimberly." "Alright." Chelsea said, gripping the staff that came with the outfit. Kairi poked her head and sat to watch.
-?-
"True, and you seem to have done quite a number spreading the Final Days." Shiro noted. He thought what villain would work or handle the power of a Overlord, Basco already had the gem that held the power of the Sun Flower and the Moonstone, along with the Ranger Keys and the GaiaMemories, plus he had a number of girls as his pets. He didn't know much of Bambietta but from what he understood, she was dangerous considering she was from a squad of Qunicy under Yhwach.
From what he recalled, Kuro had quite a few girls and was doing something with a goddess he had in his grisp. He recalled some other villains, like Seymour but he was defeated and Kekfa was too insane. He doubt that Voldemort would be a good choice either, shuddering to imagine Hojo having it. Shiro looked at him and said, "I may have a idea but what about OOO's Power as King of Ideals? What will we do with that? I imagine it may be risky to merge that with Double's Overlord. Or even give that to a villain."
