After a long trek, the groups finally reached the summit where Galeem and Darkhon awaited.

"Finally… we made it to these two." Eddy heaved.

"Sure was a long trip, seemed like forever. But at least we have their attention." Connor said.

"So it's all come down to this then…" Ace said.

"Yeah…" Hope said as Galeem and Darkhon looked at them.

"Mortals…. Why do you continue to fight for a world that must be recreated?" Galeem asked.

"Or for one that must be destroyed? Neither of us understand." Darkhon added.

"Because we have to protect it all, even the bad parts. In order to do that, we have to fight you." Hope said.

"I see… but which one of us will you fight?" Galeem asked. "Should you attack Darkhon and finish him. I will continue my crusade, and banish all darkness form this world."

"No no, we get it. Defeat one, the other wins." Hope said. "But it's not our decision to make… its David's." he said looking at David. "I believe in you man."

"I've been looking back...ever since I traveled all the way to Elympios. This Azran Legacy was initially why I was on this journey, but over time, I met new companions, experienced new things, and I began to ask myself questions. What do I consider my own justice? What kind of world do I want to see? What is it that I really want?" David asked. "And now that I have looked back on everything, my conscience is clear."

"So, it is. Then choose. Who shall you swear fealty towards, Godslayer?" Darkhon asked.

"...Neither." David said.

(Cue: Noble Pope - JoJo's Bizzare Adventures: Stardust Crusaders)

"Did you both hear that? He won't throw away his humanity. It's over." Alphamon said.

"Hold on. David, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Mark said. "Are you...going to fight both of them?"

"I've been thinking a lot about this. The Azran Legacy… Aren't prophecies just another word for predetermined fates? If those two really know me, they know I wouldn't have faith in something like that. Do we really have to choose between one or the other just because some stone tablet said so? Screw that!" David said. "If that's really the case, then we didn't really choose to be here of our own will, did we? My father, he mentioned something to Alabastar: "A kingdom cannot flourish if its king ignores the wishes of its people." And at the Jambastation, Dark Meta Knight asked me this: "Is it not a hero's duty to save those in need, even if they are enemies?" Ever since then, my mind has been running in circles until I felt like I finally understood what he meant. I want to create a world where everyone, regardless of world or race, can be happy...even these two. That's why...I've decided...that we will carve our own fate!"

"He's right. We let this thing dictate a large number of our life so far." Jexi said taking the Azran Orb. "So...instead of following what it says…" he said dropping it before smashing it. "We're gonna carve in a whole new ending. An ending of smiles!"

"Yeah!" Mark added. "I'll follow these teams...till the day I go to heaven!"

"You've heard David''s answer, and my answer is the same." Hope said. "What David decides, I decide! We'll shatter the future, and decide our own way! That's the kind of man I believe in!"

"You fools! You really believe you can take on both Light and Darkness and win?!" Galeem asked.

"Never stopped us before. Right, David?" Hope asked David.

"He's right. It's like a teammate of mine keeps saying. "The impossible is possible, all you have to do is make it so!" Isn't that right, Shuichi, Kaito?" David asked.

"Damn right. Now...go and put an end to this. We'd like to see all the world's get restored." Kaito smirked.

"Everyone ready?! We'll lend David all our strength!" Hope said.

"All of our power...is yours!" Jexi shouted as energy started flowing from the members and fighters and going into Masakado and David.

"What the…?" David asked as Masakado gained a new form, one that resembled Kirby's Ultra Sword. "It's not just you guys… Everyone in New World is lending me strength as well… Keep it coming, you guys! Share your power with me!"

"(What is this? This...tremendous power…)" Darkhon thought.

"(It's...like something never before seen. But how...how can one mortal being hold such power?)" Galeem thought as well.

"This...is the strength of the bonds that unite us! Mortals fighting each other! The power of believing in something bigger than just you!" David said.

"This power...is enough to slay both of us." Darkhon said.

"So…" Galeem said.

"We must destroy it before he can finish us!" both said as Darkhon formed a thorny hammer as Galeem made a lance as both went at David at once.

"David, watch out!" Hope called.

David did several front flips to avoid the attacks, which ended in a somersault flying towards the two of them.

"You fool! You would really sever both light and dark?" Galeem and Darkhon said.

"Of course he would. Nothing is wrong with them but...without a balance...there can be no peace." Jexi said.

"Balance?!" the two of them said completely at a loss for words.

"I dunno, you two seem completely in sync for two deities that downright despise each other." Ty said. "But… all you two believe in is your own desires for the world. In other words right now you only believe in yourselves and your whims. And guess what?" He asked looking at David.

"He's right. You don't believe in anything but yourselves! And we won't let you win!" David said.

"(This...this cannot be.)" both thought as David was right above them as he slashed right through. "Defeated...by this...slayer?!"

Both beings having been sliced fell right into the ocean below as a large wave pulsed throughout the world and the universes beyond as the groups saw millions of Spirits flying high into the sky.

Ace's pendant glowed as the Spirits he recovered floated out into the sky as well.

"We've done it. All the Spirits are returning to their bodies." Zexi said.

"YES! Victory is ours!" CP yelled.

"Look! Galeem and Darkhon have become Spirits too!" Volta said seeing the two fly in the air.

"Forgive us. We have both been wrong. Perhaps you both speak the truth. Light and Darkness must be balanced in order to create the world one must love." Darkhon said.

"So...we have decided." Galeem said. "We will reincarnate...and learn about balance from scratch."

"Galeem, Darkhon…" Ace said.

"Guess you were right. Everyone deserves a shot at redemption." AJ said. "Are you happy they realized their errors, Ace?"

"In a way, yes. If they are to be reincarnated, they would be welcome to Devaloka with open arms." Ace said.

"This is...farewell." both Spirits said before flying high into the sky.

"So...I guess this is it." Mark said, watching the Spirits fly away.

'Yeah...we should celebrate. All out party back on New World!" Connor said.

"Hopefully, all of our friends turned to Spirits will be there." Ace said holding a petal in his hand before it flew off into the wind. "The sunset is beautiful."

"Yeah...quick, somebody get a picture!" Double D said.

"Mahiru?" Hope asked.

"Okay, everyone get together and smile! My law of Photography will get us all in one!" Mahiru said as everyone gathered together. "Okay...smile!"

"Everyone say, "Ultimate!" Al said.

"ULTIMATE!" they all shouted as the camera snapped capturing the moment.

With that...the war for the universes and the Dark Kingdom's long time battle...finally concluded. As our heroes returned to New World victorious with everyone waiting with open arms.

"Say...what did happen to Alabastar and Despair anyway?" Emo asked on the way back.

"I sent Despair back to New World ahead of us. As for Alabastar...his body was missing when we went back. But I did notice a large portion of the ground was erased." Hope said.

"Albarion...So...he got his revenge after all." Jexi said.

"He…didn't kill him, did he?" Fluttershy-2 asked.

"No, I don't think so. Jexi did save him after all." Hope said.

"No...I don't think he did." Jexi said. "Besides...death is a punishment too good for a vampire like him."

"So if that's the case… then what did Alabastar get punished with?" Hope asked.

A scene showed Alabastar tied up as he was tossed into some cave. "No...son please." he begged.

"You...are but a fossil of a dark age. Enjoy it...buried behind the remains of your castle." Albarion said sealing the entrance.

Back with the group…

"Welcome back, everyone." A familiar voice said as Princess Minerva walked up.

"Great to see you made it out alright!" Barry Flux added, appearing behind Minerva. "Kept everything the way you left it, and those two cities you mentioned are just about ready to start up."

"Thank you." Sam said.

"Welcome home...all of you." Despair said.

"Well done, warriors." The Kombat Master added.

"You guys really pulled it off." Vector said.

"We knew you guys could do it." X said as Axl and Zero walked up next to him.

"Looks like everyone's back!" Eddy said.

"Corrin." Azura said.

"Azura." Male Corrin said running to her side.

"I've missed you...so much." Azura said as they hugged.

"Papa! Mama!" A voice called as Female Kana and Shigure ran up to them and were in a family embrace.

"A touching reunion." Niles said.

"Niles. You are alright." a voice said as Niles saw Leo and Owain approach.

"Lord Leo! How good it is to see you back." Niles said kneeling.

"I am glad to see you all come back to us." A voice added as Shanoa walked up in her old appearance

"Yeah, okay, everyone's back, hooray." Emo said. "Listen Barry; are they back too?"

"Yes," Barry said. "In fact, the Super Dragon Balls appeared in the middle of town."

"Wait, Super Dragon Balls? What did you need those for?" Hope asked.

"The truth is… we need them to revive our friend, Darth Darklord." Moltar said. "He's the whole reason we took part in the UFT."

"Is that right? Tell me...was this his first death?" Drake asked.

"Um...yeah." Emo said.

"There is a place where you can revive him if he's died within a year. It's called the Forest of Long Lasting Life." Blade said.

"Get outta here, really?!" Scarlet said. "Where is it!?"

"Vaanatti knows the way. She's acquainted with the user of the Life Style who lives there as its guardian." Spectra said.

"Well then, what're we waiting for?" Mark said. "Vaanatti, can you show us?"

"Mark, wait." Ace said before tossing something to him.

"That's a pendant of Ace's. it's a sign that we're connected." Connor said.

"Wow...you're giving this to us?" Mark said.

"No matter how far we are from each other, we're always right here." Ace said pointing to Mark's heart.

"Thank you. All of you." Mark said. "...May the Lord be with you all."

"Hey...we should team up again some time." Jexi said. "Travelling with you was fun."

"It doesn't have to be right now, but… whenever you're ready, 'you're always welcome to join the four of us, make it a quintet. Whaddya say?" Hope asked.

"...I guess it's official then." Mark said. "...Team Chronicle is now officially in business!"

"HECK YEAH!" Eddy said.

"It would be nice to be a hero again." Anakin said.

"Guess we'll be going now." Kido said. "Just remembered me and the others have to go help Chris Redfield."

"Yeah...and I gotta finish uh...shopping in the Sky Universe." Jack said.

"Oh no you dont… Mastemon, stop him!" Hope said.

"Don't even think about it." Mastemon said with a dark aura.

"Hey...just joking." Jack said laughing. "With what happened, you earned that statue. I'm headed to the Shinto Universe next. See what rare treasure await me there."

The Inkling Girl made a sound as it ran up to the Doomsday Legion and Heroic Vanguard.

"Well whaddya know? Looks like this Inkling girl ain't done being with ya, Darkie." Makoto said.

"Guess we've got a new member." AJ said.

Inkling Girl gave a smile and thumbs up as she bumped fists with Dark Water.

"Now, before we go...let's get that party started!" ZS said.

"If you want music, just don't request anything fast. Wouldn't want any arms to tear off." David said.

"I know the perfect song to start the party off." Ace said as the group began the celebration of their victory.

(Cue- Immortals- Fall Out Boy)

"In the battle between us and the Dark Kingdom as well as Galeem and Darkhon...WE WON!" Jexi shouted as the others cheered.

"Cheers!" Bayonetta and Simon called.

"Hero Alliance Forever!" Ace called raising his glass.

"Yeah! Endless meat!" Luffy said eating some with Natsu and the other Dimensional Hero Co Leaders.

"Corrin, do you mind if I still keep journeying with Ace and the others?" Azura asked holding his hand.

"As long as you visit some times, I will look forward to it." he said.

"Richter and Simon Belmont. I've heard many stories about you two. I hope we get along in the future." Shanoa said.

"Same." both of them said.

"Kinda takes you back to the first party we had together that one time. Huh, David?" Ace asked. "Against Talent Corp. Can't believe it's been half a year since we all first met." He said patting David on the back.

"Yeah...it's been some ride." David said.

"Same here. Can't help but wonder what's gonna come next for us." Jexi said.

"Well, whatever it is, we can take it." David said.

"So...you plan to participate in the event coming?" Spectra asked. "The Perfect Link Tournament?"

"Hm? What's that?" David asked.

"It's a competition. One that focuses on fighter and link. It's the first of its kind held. Allowing trainers and those who have formed perfect links. No one knows the full details yet but it's set to start one month from now in Republic City." Spectra said.

"If it's a competition, then damn right we're in. Right, guys?" David asked his group.

"Hell yeah. You're gonna see something awesome, Mark." Hope said.

"I'm sure I will. But first...we need to get Galen back." Mark said. "...That's Darklord's real name."

"Go and get him back. And then… you'll have Team Chronicle ready to travel with us. That will make us an official quintet." Hope smiled.

"This tournament sounds like fun. Me, Shanoa, Atro, Mari, and Azura are looking forward to it." Simon said.

"Yeah...it's gonna be amazing." Jexi said.

Out on the edge, Despair smiled at the group as he looked out. "So...you gonna stay there looking?" he said looking to Barry Flux.

"Well, someone needs to." Barry said. "With those two gods defeated, a lot of powerful entities are gonna be looking their way."

"Before you even consider destiny...I think I should tell about something that's been going on behind the scenes. Something even your little cameras never caught on." Despair said.

"How'd you know about the cameras?" Barry asked. "...Nevermind. Show me."

"This someone has been pulling a lot of strings since his rising. The Elements...the fall of the Coalition and Dark Forces, the Titans...even Galeem and Darkhon's awakenings. He's been pulling a lot of them." Despair said showing a photo of Normal.

"Normal...and if I'm not mistaken, he's been working with my half-brother, Amadeus?" Barry asked.

"Me as well. But...apparently we were just pawns to him. He was using us from the start to assemble his own little group of evil." Despair said showing photos of Despair meeting with Frieza and Cell as well as Blackbeard and Aizen.

"It's just like Steven said…" Barry said. "He mentioned that Baby was working for another Flux...a new one. I thought it was Amadeus...but if it's not...then there's only one other explanation...there's a new villain in town. Did you get a name?"

"No. Normal never shared anything with us. I even had Amadeus search his labs before he went into hiding. Normal has abandoned all of them. He's gone into hiding...along with his cohorts." Despair said.

"If that's true...then things are going to get dangerous. For now...let's keep tabs on them. For now...let's let the heroes have their time to relax." Barry said. "They've earned it."

"Agreed. Also...you have government connections. And I'm technically still a wanted criminal." Despair said.

"I never said I had connections with the government." Barry said, taking out a folder. "Let's just say...I have friends in high places."

On the folder were the words:

COALITION 2.0

The End.
