Thanks again for the review Garucca-Lover24!

The last chapter is here. I want to thank everyone that reviewed and read my story. I hoped everyone enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Look out for my next story titled Come Back to Me. It's mainly going to forces around Ching and Abyo but I'll throw some Pucca and Garu in there.

Declaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Pucca. Though some of the characters from Pucca description may be a tad bit different but not by much. I'll try to keep appearance and personality the same as much as possible. I don't even own Tristan, Lee, Hi-Me (May) or Monkey King (M.K.). All I own is the plot and my characters.

Epilogue

Ten years later

Three kids ran through the field of wild flowers, jumping on rocks across the small river as they chased each other. Their laugher drifted in the wind as birds flew by and butterflies fluttering pass the giggling kids. Finally, having enough with not being able to catch his friends, he jumped in the air, ripping his shirt as he did.

"Hee-Yeah!"

A young boy at the age of seven landed in front of his friends, flexing his muscles or lack of, as the young girl stopped, causing the other boy of eight to push her to the ground. The blue hair boy got up while helping her up as well. Blushing a tad as her small hand held his before she let go.

She rolled her purple eyes, knowing the game of tag has ended as she spotted a stick. Looking over to see if her friends were watching, she backed away slowly and began to fight, stick in hand. She would leave the two alone for now.

The green eyes of the seven-year-old looked over to the young girl of four to see if she was watching him. To his dismay, she was to busy swinging a stick around as she pretended to be fighting someone. Her black as night hair, swayed in the air as her piercing purple eyes glared at her unseen enemy. The young lad had to admit, his best friend sure is pretty for a four-year-old.

"Stop staring at her."

He looked to see his other best friend glaring at him with his gray eyes. Why does Ling always try to make him look un-cool when the she was around? Growling, the boys began to wrestle in the ground, both hoping that their friend would see who was a better fighter.

The girl stabbed her enemy as she jumped back. One day, she was going to be the best ninja, just like her dad. Seeing Chang ripping his shirt off everyday just for Ling to get mad and the two to fight, didn't help her. She didn't see the point in why Chang wanted to show off his non-existing abs every time they were together anyways. Understanding his mind to her was trying to understand why his mother walked around with a chicken on her head. Or, how whenever Ling's mom would get angry, red markings would appear on her face. It just didn't make any sense.

"Hana!"

The girl looked over to see her mother calling for her. Smiling, Hana dropped her stick and ran towards her mother. As soon as she jumped in the air to land in her mother's awaiting arms, someone grabbed her and pulled her close. Hana giggled, knowing that her father caught her in the air again. Moving her body so she could face him, she looked into his onyx black eyes with a smile on her face.

"Daddy!" Hana squealed with joy as her small arms hugged Garu's neck tightly. She felt a hand on her small shoulder to see her mother smiling at her. "Mommy!" This time Garu let his daughter jump out of his arms and into Pucca's awaiting arms.

"Garu, Pucca, I made sure Hana was in no harm." Chang clamed as he beamed with pride just to be push out of the way by Ling so he could talk to Garu as well.

"Me too! I helped too!"

Garu knelt down to look both Ling and Chang in the eye and gave them a smirk as he ruffled Chang's black curly hair and Ling's bright blue hair. This was Garu's way of thanking them.

"Don't believe them Daddy. Chang was busy ripping his shirt again and than Ling decided to beat him up." Hana rolled her eyes, sticking out her tongue when she saw the boys glaring at her.

She heard her parents laughing along with more voices. Looking over her mother's shoulder, Hana saw more adults walking over to them. She smiled when she recognized that they were Chang and Ling's parents along with Lee, May and M.K.

She liked Chang's dad the best because he would always make her laugh. She liked it when Chang's dad would try to beat her dad in a fight but lose every time. He would say some funny words and than Chang's mom would go and pull Chang's dad by the ear saying how he shouldn't be saying those words because she, Ling and Chang were with them.

"Chang you are just like your dad." Ching smiled as she gave her son a peck on the cheek.

"Mom! I'm not a kid anymore! You can't kiss me when Hana is around!" Chang whined as he wiped his cheek with the back of his hand. Didn't his mom know that it wasn't cool to look soft in front of a girl? Ching only laughed more as she held Abyo's hand. Chang really was like him.

"Ling, what have I told you about fighting?" Ring-Ring looked at her son as Ling only crossed his arms and hump, mumbling how Chang was the one who started it. She rolled her eyes, as his attitude was the same as Tristan.

"That's my boy, show them whose boss." Ling smiled; he could always count on his dad to understand.

"Tristan, shouldn't you teach your kid that it's not okay to fight?" Then, there was his Aunt May that would always side with his mom and what ever Aunt May said, Dad would always agree.

"Sorry, you're right May. Ling, listen to your mother. No more fighting." It sucks to be eight.

"Now that we are all here, how about that picnic we planned?" Ling beamed at the word 'picnic'. Uncle Lee always knew how to cheer him up. The older man held up a picnic basket as his Uncle M.K. placed a tablecloth on a table that Hana's dad made with a single thought.

Ling always wondered how Chang and Hana's parents could make an element do their bidding. Maybe one day, he could too.

"Yes, food! I'm starving!" Abyo jumped in the air as if he was still a kid. "But first," he turned to face his best friend of fifteen years, "Garu wanna spare?"

Garu only smirked as he and Abyo walked away from the table, the three kids trailing close behind. It was always fun for them to watch the two spare and learn new words whenever Abyo lost.

"Abyo, teach my kid another colorful language and you'll be fighting me next!" Tristan yelled as Abyo just waved his hand at the comment.

Pucca looked around and she couldn't help but smile. It was hard to believe that ten years ago, her and her friends protected humankind with their very life. Since then, so much had change when she was sixteen, minus the occasional attacks from Tobe.

Master Soo granted the Freedom Fighters the option to live in the village for their help and bravery, free to come and go as they please when they went out to help other villages. Pucca never saw the four so happy before. She remembered how Tristan would follow Ring-Ring around, trying to get her to like him. The endless trips to the hospital were always funny. Each were a different story on how he got there but they all ended the same way to him, Ring-Ring was just playing hard to get. It wasn't until May helped him did Ring-Ring finally gave him a chance and the two haven't separated since.

Ching and Abyo dated for a year before they married. A year later, a bouncing baby Chang was born. During that time, Pucca and Garu were growing strong in their two-year relationship. A week later, he asked her to marry him and she said yes, followed by the birth of Hana three years later. Her uncles were smitten over their great-niece; they even went over board with presents for the first year.

Pucca pulled herself from her memories and looked towards the direction were the boys and kids were her smile softening as she saw them. Garu blocked an attack from Abyo, his smirk never leaving his face as the children cheered. He is still everything that Pucca ever wanted and because of him, he gave her a beautiful girl. Her daughter is just like Garu in every way but she looked just liked her.

She turned her attention back to the table, a giggle escaping her lips that Ching caught. Ching looked over to her friend and smiled at her. "What's so funny?"

Pucca only smiled, speaking was something that she never cared for, only speaking when she wanted to call Hana. Garu still didn't speak and for a while, Pucca thought Hana might think her father didn't care for her because of it but Pucca realized that it was something that she didn't need to worry about. Garu had his own way of showing his affection to his little girl. Pucca only smiled at Ching, a smile that she knew all to well.

"Yeah, I know how you feel." Ching looked over to see her family, sharing the same smile as Pucca. "I wouldn't change it either."

The two friends gazed at each other and laughed. This is their life now. Their happy-ending and they wouldn't change it for the world.

And there you go, the end of Shadow Master. It took me some time to write this last chapter because I wanted it to be perfect. Once again, I would like to say thank you to everyone that continued to read this story. It really meant a lot to me. Just seeing that someone was reading this at least once a day, brought a smile on my face. Thank you for one last time.
