~Segment 1: Never Ending Blue
1 Year Later: Iwamara Heights (5227)
Two pairs of married couples jogged together along the Iwamara River in continuing their training for their upcoming short-circuit tournaments. The air was clean and fresh with gardens of nature all around even with the city growing now around 300K population. Everything that happened the last couple of years, the news and media grew attention and attracted to Iwamara.
“Oi! Red Shark honey, you’re missing out on the views!” Tsubasa said.
“Hahaha! That’s what happens when the beauty of nature distracts you Wingman babe,” Seijuurou winked.
“Oh I can catch up no problem,” the blue-haired man sped up next to him, “But you do realize what today is, right?”
“How could I forget?” Seijuurou smiled at him, “Two years ago today…it was the tournament that brought everyone back together.”
“It really has been that long huh?” Momo asked.
“Has there been any updates to the roster yet?” Aoba questioned.
“I think they’re doing some careful planning last I heard,” Seijuurou answered.
They made it to the fork in the path, one of which continued the trail, the other back to the outskirts of the village.
“Wanna keep going?” Aoba asked.
“I’d say so on a normal basis, but today…we got that Anniversary Celebration like Nii-chan mentioned,” Momo said.
“Don’t keep your guard too down,” the blond remarks.
Momo pecks him a kiss on the cheek as Aoba blushed madly. Tsubasa and Seijuurou chuckled before they continued their way out of the trails and arrived at the Iwamara Town Square where there was a massive screen display built, showing varying videos of the swimmers both performing at the pool as well as fighting villains (thanks to Kenma’s media project).
“Ahhh, so that’s what some of the interviews were for!” Momo realized as he saw a few scenes of the Eternal Seven talking to one of the news anchors about their sport.
“It’ll be almost a year for them too since they announced their group marriage,” Sei noted.
“A lot of happy beginnings for everyone,” Tsubasa nodded.
Euphrates Swim Team, Lha’li
The success of having the few swimmers from Lha’li that joined the Olympics and the sponsoring and support from the Marotta Quartet girls and the new Queen Roxana with her wife allowed growth of this sport and others.
Neo Tabuk finally allowed their city to be under the reign of the queen as she was able to end the sporadic political chaos and peace cycle, enabling a new era.
Anastasia, Laura, Niki, and Maya trained several female swimmers and co-ed groups with some of the guys also taking role on managers and supporting the male swim teams. Occasionally, there would be group training with their allies from Neo Sportsbrooke and Iwamara as well as smaller circuit-competitive events.
“Oh my goodness!” Anastasia looked at her phone.
“What is it?” Niki asked.
“Papa Kyle and Papa Sandro might be doing a 400 Freestyle Medley with Haruka and Rei!” she gasped.
“Awwww that’s ‘exciting!” Laura said.
“Yeah,” she answered, …I’m happy that everyone is finally at peace.”
“Me too,” Niki agreed, “I never like to see broken hearts.”
“At least it’s not like the old world,” Maya shrugged, “I’ll never understand why people have to be so meh when others want to be happy.”
“Screw that, it’s not worth the misery,” Laura answered.
Iwamara
Sousuke, Ai, Ikuya, Asahi joined Apollo, Kotetsu, Kaede, and Albert at the nearby outdoor park by the Iwamara Beach area as they were having a lunch group together as a ‘Pre-Celebratory event’. Most of the things they needed to celebrate this 2-year anniversary of Olympius Duniya are ready. It was just a matter of time before getting the set up done.
“You two doing well at your new place?” Ai asked.
“Yeah,” Apollo replied, “We got the floors changed up from that dreaded carpet to laminated wooden.”
“Is your brother still somewhere out in space?” Sousuke added.
“He makes a visit to me at least five times a month. I don’t know how much time passes by for him, but every time I see him, it’s like he’s grown wiser,” he answered.
“For the record, Apollo, how do you want us to describe you…in terms of…?” Asahi questions a bit nervously.
“Well, I’m cool with he and they,” Apollo winked, “I was technically on the men’s team back in Aeuropa Capital Academy.”
“Well the pec muscles made it quite convincing and the…” Kotetsu begins but he pauses upon realizing.
“Ooooh? Someone had a first time finally?” Kaede smirks.
“Shut it,” Kotetsu turns his head to the side.
“I’m glad we’re done fighting honestly,” Albert breaks the subject a little, “It feels different that we’ve been swimming and living out our lives as Sandro promised.”
“I do miss the transformation dancing though,” Asahi sighed, “Hopefully the author can make some magic and bring it to live in some animated film or something.”
“Who would watch a movie like that?” Kaede asked.
“Those girls that came to the wedding as the choir, I heard they were their own warriors back in their homeland,” Sousuke said.
“That was a fun meet and greet with them,” Ai said.
“I wonder how that safari trip was for the others,” Albert added.
“They definitely discovered old ruins of an interesting civilizations before our time,” Ikuya recalled the photos.
“One of the abandoned cities is actually starting to get repopulated,” Apollo said, “They might even host the next Olympics there.”
“Ok that’s a bit farfetched there,” Kotetsu shrugged.
“We got some short circuit tournaments coming up too, right?” Ai asked, “Anyone of us going to be there?”
“I’ll be there,” Ikuya said, “Along with Kotetsu, Hiyori and Kaede.”
“I’m almost tempted to join the Chirottori’s team,” Albert said.
“EH?!” Asahi nearly spat out his drink, “Isn’t that for…um….the Mullerians?”
“Lately I feel like my swimming is almost faster than the Eternal Seven,” he shrugged.
“Is he being serious?” Asahi turns to Ikuya.
“I guess the monkey doesn’t get it,” Ikuya sighs.
“Why you…” Asahi narrows his eyes.
“Okay kids settle down,” Kotetsu answered, “Albert was just joking there.”
“Yeah, I was,” Albert sighed, taking a sip of his flavored iced tea, “But I wouldn’t mind trying to challenge them in a race someday.”
The other sports guys were starting to interact more with each other thanks to the connection of the swimmers. It was something they haven’t really experienced much but the Olympius Duniya has certainly created a special bond between all of them.
Several of the volleyball peeps (especially from the MSBY and SA) were hanging out with Reo, Sae, Ryusei, Yoichi, Rensuke and many others. The archery guys including Minato, Masaki, Eisuke, and Shuu were also talking to some of the skater crews, learning about their chaotic world.
Unexpected friendships were made, alliances grew stronger. Even without the magic from their crystals, they still felt they hadn’t lost much. If anything, a few more couples have finally announced their engagements, leading to more parties and happy endings down the road.
Frostella
Reki and Langa danced happily in the kingdom as the northern land welcomed their marriage and happily ever after. At this point, Miya was their best man while Oka, Shadow, Joe, Cherry, and even Kazu supported and helped provide decorations. The Kyan Family made sure to make the trip out here.
Takashi also attended as a guest as he was now beginning his training at Iwamara High School which finally opened for new classes/new era of education about 3 months ago. He currently takes it remotely from Neo Sportsbrooke but does have financial aid to make the travel to Iwamara for swim training.
Also in the celebration was Stellaluna and her parents, finally setting further peace negotiations with King Oliver and Queen Nanako. They also got approval of the IOC to have their best athletes register and join the Olympius Duniya series in the next upcoming sport in 5229 A.D.
Ainosuke and the Chivashi finally sealed the deal on becoming the ‘Knights of Chirottori’ and have worked on improving relations with the Sierra Forest and the ‘outcasts’. However, Ainosuke made sure to attend the wedding in support of Langa especially.
2 Year anniversary Olympius Duniya Celebration
As everyone from the town and friends and other athletes joined this massive event on the beach, Haruka turned his head to see Sandro staring out at the ocean alone. Kyle was busy talking to the girls of the family as Anastasia and Roxana were talking about Lha’li’s mega progress in updating technology. With a nod from Rei, they both checked up on him.
“You okay there, Sandro?” Haruka asked.
“Oh,” he blinked back to reality, “Yeah…I’m just a little exhausted. It’s been 2 years so far…I hope it stays that way.”
“Did something happen?” Rei questioned.
“It’s just that…when Kyle and I retire…our magic will return,” he revealed, “And the conflict of Chaos and Cosmos might restart. I don’t want it to be a burden for you guys anymore, all that magic was to put an end to those dark times.”
“And even if you regain the magic, you and Kyle will find a way to keep the peace.” Rei said, “But for tonight, let’s celebrate together. Since we don’t have magic anymore except through the Mizu Gods….well…”
“I know. Your time has begun to start again,” Sandro looks at them, “All of you guys will be aging at the average mortal. Even my twin self is finally getting older likewise.”
“So, let’s give it our all and be merry,” Haruka said.
“Yeah, for the team as Rin would say,” he chuckled.
He joins in on the celebration as they share random stories from the last two years since the Medley of Destiny, the wedding, and many others. Sandro wrapped his arms around Rei and Kyle in between as he knew that this love finally between these people was finally a reality. Haruka sat with Rin, Makoto, and Nagisa as they were all laughing happily at the campfire.
At one point, something flashed into the dragon swimmer’s mind. He looks at Kyle and Rei with a smile followed by a brief look at Haru from a short distance.
“I have an idea…” he whispered.
“Oh dear…” Kyle blushed.
“What do you have in mind?” Rei asked.
“Well…let’s say we’re gonna need Haru for this,” Sandro winked.
Articora!Alex and Articora!Rei smiled especially as they too were finally at peace likewise. The Articorans were finally getting their training at the Iwamara Swim World with Ryuuji, Mikhail and Goro as rotating coaches. With further collaborations with Iwamara High School, the world of swimming was indeed growing.
“I am glad we were able to continue what our ancestors couldn’t do,” Makoto said.
“A long-time dream coming true,” Nagisa agreed.
“I still can’t even fathom how many years it took for us,” Rin added.
“It has been such an adventure in the meantime…all the battles, the magic…a lot of effort,” Haruka chimed his two cents.
“Haruka-senpai,” Rei sighs with a chuckle.
“This is…been um…it’s an experience that I will keep close to my heart,” Sandro answered, removing the hug he was in and getting up to look at the group.
His face slowly starts to tear up, “And these memories…all of them…the good, the bad…and all in between, I’ll wrap in them to stay warm when things get cold and lost. I feel like I finally, after that race…it has finally healed me from every trauma.
“You guys are all angels…you’re forever in my heart no matter what universe we are on, together or not…we are forever connected.”
With this, the Eternal Seven make a group hug as they were all getting emotional.
“Kyle and I will swim two more rounds for Olympius Duniya,” he announced, “And once hopefully he gets the gold, we’ll retire.”
“Oh wow, that’s great news!” Rei gasped.
“We understand when it’s your time to go,” Nagisa wiped his own tears off.
“You don’t have to explain,” Rin said.
“Thank you all,” Kyle smiled, wiping his own face.
As time continues to pass onwards, several local swimming events were hosted in Chirottori, Lha'li, Neo Sportsbrooke, and Iwamara. A new city begins to grow becoming known as "Johanne". At one point, Sandro and Kyle found some land to utilize in construction of their future home as the Iwamara Crystal Palace.
They both made a personal vow that they would not become rulers but rather celebrity icons and provide numerous charity events and provide support to all the up-and-coming swimmers.
More training and practice continued to endure among the swimmers, both the main cast as well as the newer generation of individuals. The Extraterrestrial guys were finally qualified for the competition. All the Mizu Gods, both native and the Extraterrestrial continued to maintain the peace of Duniya as well as the other planets on rare occasion.
And finally, by 5229, the 2nd Olympius Duniya was hosted in the new city of "Johanne" at the Jo-Aquatics International Natatorium with architecture based on the surrounding nature of the safari. At this point, more sports have been added including basketball, canoeing, track, and many others.
The Iwamara National Team consisted of:
Haruka Nanase
Rin Matsuoka
Sousuke Yamazaki
Ikuya Kirishima
Natsuya Kirishima
Hiyori Tono
Seijuurou Mikoshiba
Tsubasa Hoshikawa
Makoto Tachibana (as coach/trainer)
Nao Serizawa (as coach/trainer)
Toru Iwashimizu
Shouta Nakagawa
Rei Ryugazaki
Nagisa Hazuki
Kaede Kinjou
Sandro Marotta
Kyle Meyrick
At one of the 400m Freestyle Medley relays, this team made it to finals as it was led by Kyle, Rei, Haruka, and Sandro gaining a gold medal for that competition. Kaede made his 100m Freestyle Gold while Albert gained a Gold medal for the 200m Freestyle on his own terms.
With this, Albert plans after this event to lead several swimmers in the "Johanne" division as he thanked the Iwamara Swim team for their support and wants to keep exploring his own story. He decided to help the Extraterrestrial gang settle into this team as they were now living in Johanne.
Also at this time, there were several female individual swimmers, medley teams and even transgendered individuals who expressed and represented further. No matter what, the water will always welcome new swimmers if they choose to pursuit.
~Segment 2: What's Next?
By the third 3rd Duniya Olympics in the year 5233 A.D., the event was held in Lha'li.
This Iwamara Swim Team Consists of:
Haruka Nanase
Rin Matsuoka
Sousuke Yamazaki
Ikuya Kirishima
Kotetsu Sudou
Makoto Tachibana (as coach/trainer)
Kaede Kinjou
Nagisa Hazuki
Rei Ryugazaki
Apollo LeFay
Aoba Usami
Asahi Shiina
Aiichirou Nitori
Momotarou Mikoshiba
Sandro Marotta (final term)
Kyle Meyrick (final term)
Kazuki Minami
Takuya Uozumi
Misaki Kuramoto
Kaoru Natsume
Romio Hayahune
Shizuru Isurugi
Kotetsu finally struck his gold in the 100m Breaststroke and as a further surprise, Apollo proposes him for marriage. This was leading to an explosive hot topic on social media. Their wedding date was set two years later as they would have their turn in celebrating life.
Asahi also won gold in the 100m Butterfly as Naigsa also made gold on the 200m Breaststroke long swim. Momotarou gained his first gold likewise with Ai in their own Mixed Medley with Aoba, and Apollo.
After having a farewell celebration of their swimming career, Sandro and Kyle finally arrived at the Iwamara Crystal Palace as the magic within their hearts finally glowed to life. Suiei Cosmos joined in and used his magic to transform them. Their bodies evolved a bit slightly older in age, looking in their mid-30s and becoming a bit larger in their muscle size like Neo King Julius and the other former Atlantean kings.
Time could continue to pass on as everyone around the two kings would age up further into their older and golden years before passing away bit by bit. However, they made sure to keep the momentum of the swimming going for years beyond, training and supporting their athletes.
Before they knew it, over 100 years had gone by as Neo King Alexander and Neo King Odysseus continued to keep the peace going. The Mizu Gods have also moved on with their human hosts, knowing that the laws of magic have been altered since Alex dove into the Wall of the Omniverse ages ago. Mizu Marotta did stay behind for a while longer but also departed, promising they will reunite.
At times, the two kings had some rare arguments and things, but their love prevailed as much as possible. All the memories of all the swimmers were known to the world.
It was no doubt that the years would continue to keep going, leading them to forget some stuff that happened. Unfortunately, this led to Alexander's scavenger hunting for memories when the author of the book happened to be a descendant of the Marotta family from Sergi and Rosie's bloodline. That author was named Vittorio.
~Segment 3: The Final Decision…
Crystal Palace, Iwamara
Year: 5500 A.D
Neo King Alexander and his husband Neo King Odysseus waited for the Three Primordial senshi to appear. Whie it's true that they had the power to easily summon them, they decided to wait like a normal human being.
Their time here in Iwamara was mostly peaceful but there had been some occasional moments of conflict of the human species. The magic they regained was also becoming slowly controversial, indicating that they were being too 'god-like' by some haters and jealous folks.
It had been endless years since their friends and family had passed onto the afterlife realm. The sadness was getting to be a toll on their health. However, they still had the medals they've won and the special 'Thank You' Crystal Plaque rested like a full display. That was something they forever remember to this very day still.
Finally, they see three lights descending down from the skies as Suiei Cosmos, Suiei Kronos and Suiei Chaos appeared before them. They were each dressed in such unique fashion based on their cosmological origins. At times, they would come here to this world to check in with the two Kings and ask the same questions about continuing to live, fighting any potential threats, etc.
"Greetings there," Cosmos said, "I take it you both wish to continue living on this world?"
The two kings looked at each other before Alexander answered, "No. It's time we end our story."
"Oh?" Suiei Chaos grew interested, "Do tell."
"Chaos," Alexander said, "Long ago you said to me that you are the embodiment of death and destruction. And Cosmos, you are one of rebirth and creation. Light and Darkness are never to be separated.
"That is why I did a little research of going through my past memories long ago, especially during The Final Reckoning. No matter what, humans are perpetuated by this curse between the two of you…or perhaps the three in this case."
"And?" Suiei Kronos asked.
Alexander dug through his cloak and revealed a small scroll-like object, "I have what may be a possible solution."
"W-wait a sec…" Odysseus looked at him.
"Is that…?" Chaos's eyes widened.
"I need to cast one more curse," Alexander revealed.
"W-what?!" Kronos and Cosmos gasped.
"H-how did you even…?" Vittorio asked.
"I am serious. The Dark Curse…its magic can actually be altered like a blueprint…it can be modified into something better," he said.
"What do you intend to do?" Odysseus asked.
"When this activates, I need you Chaos to ensure that this planet meets its final end, but you Cosmos…are to bring this planet…and its other half…Spherus Magna…and merge these two worlds together," Alexander replied, "This will then create the afterlife realm that will finally connect the past and the future properly. The witches have separated those two realities within those two books. It's time we finally fulfill this union and ensure that the future and whatever happens after will finally rest in peace properly."
"W-what will happen to the books?" Vittorio asked.
"Your role as the author will no longer be needed," Alexander looks at him, "The books will be safe among us in the afterlife."
"Are you sure about this?" Cosmos asked, "Doing this requires a price."
"Yes…I wish to use up the remaining of my magic," Neo King Alexander answered, "I don't want anyone of us who love and cherish to be separated anymore. We want our existence to be tucked away from all the other laws of the Omniverse…secured and protected. At any time, we can choose whether we want to be reborn, but this afterlife…is where we are meant to be."
"So…you're telling me that you're ready to be a simple human?" Chaos asked, "Stripped away of your powers?"
"Doing so will end the war against you on our side," he revealed, "We've fought for too long. We want to rest peacefully and reunite with our loved ones."
"An interesting arrangement," Suiei Chaos said, "If that is what needs to be done, so be it."
"I hope you know what you are doing," Odysseus replied.
"We believe and we remember," Alexander answered, "And with that, at long last, we'll finally reunite with them."
No matter how many realities we live in and die, no matter what happens to any and all variations of ourselves, we all were made to exist both good and evil. Darkness, light…cosmos and chaos…
And now…that time has come. To finally end this war that has spanned our existence…and send it…to another universe in the omniverse nothing to do with my family and friends and my guardians.
"Then I suppose…Operation, we are one and both, is green lit," Suiei Kronos answered.
~Segment 4: …Forever Ever After
Sometime later…
Dark clouds of magic rained upon both Duniya and Spherus Magna, connecting to the Edge of the Omniverse as both planets were destroyed and then reconstructed. It is this very same spot here that the Gen 1.0!Magic Six team and Pandora wished for with the light magic. But the truth required that dark magic was also needed in order to facilitate the process correctly.
Now that it officially was created, the span between realities finally connects without any distortion in space-time. Neo Cleveland, Neo Phoenix, Silver Tokyo, Los Angeles Metro, New Chirottori, and Iwamara Centre, and now with more new cities such as Mega-Metru Nui, and replicas of other cities from Duniya.
This curse (or rather a blessing) connects the two stories united from Gen 1.0 and the Dark Mirror/Terabithia/Spherus Magna saga. Even though this has been restored, the two books remain separate as their own entities to not lose any valuable information and lessons of history.
After the curse was cast, it was here when Gen 1.0 finally landed where the whole building began. Eventually, the Gen 2.0 cast would make landing after The Last World and its curtain call arc.
Now at last…the Gen 3.0 was all here, waiting for the two stars to wake up. Neo King Alexander woke up to be in his younger form once more with Odysseus now back as Kyle. They were inside of a temple-like structure where they were greeted by the Gen 1.0!Alex and Neo King Julius.
"You finally made it," Gen 1.0!Alex said.
"How are you feeling?" Julius asked.
"Finally at peace and at nirvana," Gen 3.0!Alex smiled as he and Kyle walked outside to see the Gen 3.0!Swim teams and their families waiting for them.
The landscape all around was infinite and precious, filled with the wonders of nature at its purest form. While this place was far, far, far beyond away, only a very small percentage of darkness would lurk here.
However, with accepting the fact that Chaos, Cosmos, and Kronos are all equal, there was no need for conflict or war. Here, all these souls could finally enjoy themselves for eternity until they decide for themselves on going to a new universe.
He turns to Kyle with a warm smile, "We're finally free."
The duo reunited with the STYLE FIVE as well as their families with endless hugs and joy, settling their restful lives on a plateau above the resting but happy souls.
Together, they were greeted by their Gen 1.0!variants as they would soon find a new place to live. Ultimately, the Gen 3.0!variants decided to live up on a plateau away from the city, creating their own community that would be independent, yet easily accessible to those who wish to travel back and forth.
"Even if we are reborn someday…or be in a totally different life…good or bad…I believe we will always find our home back here," Alex said, "As long as we keep true to our hearts."
At long last, they could finally rest in peace…but I think it's safe to say they have lived Happily Ever After…and they will continue to evolve and grow even more beyond the timeless blue afterlife.
"Brother, what about the Primordial Senshi?" Gen 3.0!Sergi asked.
"It's not our issue anymore," he reassured him, "They will take care of what's beyond this place. I'm sure we'll hear from them time to time though. But…our work is done."
With that, they stared out to the beautiful galactic space, wondering how many more would soon come here to this sacred ground. Would their 'other selves' be successful in reaching this place? One could only find out someday, but until death does its part…live, be happy, find that inner peace.
After a bit of time, the new city of Iwamara Ultima was finally built on the plateau not far from the rest of the cities in the valley. A warm ceremony would be held here as cast from the past made the trip to this new place.
Before heading out to the celebration, Sandro went to visit the site where he and Memnon fought their battle as well as the latter's resting place with Mentor. He thanked them both, stating that he would continue to shine brightly and also know when to be open and honest.
"I'm sure we'll meet again, someday," Sandro muttered.
"You ready?" Kyle approaches him.
"Yes, let's go," he nodded.
They arrive at the center of the town as the streets are filled with people, Mullerians, Mahotsukai, robotic sapient beings from BIONICLE, and many more. With this, they were accompanied by Gen 1.0!Alex and Neo King Julius along with Apollo and even the three Primordial senshi.
A podium was constructed right by the fountain, indicating the time to open their speech.
"This story of ours, we thought it'd be over when I nearly lost what was most precious," Kyle said, looking at Sandro briefly before continuing, "But little did we know that we were part of a far bigger universe…or multi-verse. More adventures will happen outside of this place…more universes finding out their purpose, their existence, and their own ways of good and evil."
Random images of birth, family, magic, swimming, and friendship could be seen as everyone could feel all these emotions happening at once. It was indeed a sight to behold. Other images of death, destruction, and conflict could be seen as indeed, they are two sides of the coin…the complete picture.
Kyle then passes the speech to his husband and continued.
"Life, death, rebirth, return…this afterlife realm has finally united two lost stories and is secured in all of space-time in this plane of existence." Sandro added, "Darkness and Light will conflict from time to time. However, we can overcome our inner demons…with Hope."
With this, everyone gave an applause of excitement and freedom. In the crowd, Pandora held her new baby daughter Hope along with Dodecadron, Apollo, Rasputin, and Gen 1.0!Alex.
Gen 1.0!Cali meowed happily as she rubbed her head on Steve's fur while the three kittens Precious, Scott, and Bianca squeaked. Gen 3.0!Cali stood with a few other cats that Haruka used to feed long ago.
We see all the swimmers, friends, family, warriors, and many others continuing their round of applause and joy.
Together, Suiei Cosmos, Suiei Kronos, and Suiei Chaos…the three powerful space guardians have settled their differences and begun a new era together as they were also present in this hopeful speech. They departed the realm, leaving a trail of magic behind their path.
The camera zooms out from the mega crowd as we see the entire various cities in the afterlife realm…before flying out through deep space again, as one more ending finally appears…
Alpha!Earth: The Final Stroke Part 2
At long last, a new tournament season begins again in Fukuoka as Haruka, Rin, and Albert join together in the first wave of the Men's 100-meter freestyle. All the cast from this beloved series attended together as they couldn't wait to see what this next chapter was going to be about.
A sense of excitement, awe, and curiosity could be seen in the entire cast as Haruka's memories blink back to burying the time capsule at Iwatobi High School.
"Even if I become an ordinary person, I'll keep swimming."
The trio along with the other competitors for the freestyle, readied themselves on the block, waiting for the signal to be sent.
Yes, that is true…but, I guess, being that person, can wait just a bit longer…my younger self, Haruka thought as the race begins. The sound blares off, prompting Haruka, Rin, Albert, and many other swimmers to dive in…leading to their next adventure…
~We finally made it to the end! Biggest thank you to all those who have participated in the RPs from Skype to Discord from 2013 – 2023! This project certainly would not have gone to fruition without your help, support, confidence, and all in between!
Normally I’d provide a cast of all the characters, but these last 4 years have been exhausting and difficult to keep track of.
Anyway, with these 3 Generations worth of adventure, there are new projects being loosely inspired by all of these stories. Not sure if they will ever be completed but we are going to give it a shot!
More artworks will soon follow. They will be tied to all three generations!
Before wrapping up, please note that this entire lore has references, ideas that belong to many respective owners (i.e. KyoAni, Toei, ABC, LEGO, and more.) However, this journey is my own and I am so happy to share it with you.
Speaking of, thank you KyoAni for creating a series that would change my life so much, finding my own destiny, my nirvana.
Again, thank you for believing in me…knowing that it is possible to change for the better.
Hopefully someday…we can all unite together with these wonderful characters in a far happier world…
Sincerely yours…
Artemis_LFay
P.S. Yes. They ALL FINALLY LIVED (and SWAM) HAPPILY…EVER…After…<3
– (Never) The End, Free! Chaomosverse Saga, 2013 – 2023.
