HOMEWARD BOUND.
β· HOMEWARD BOUND.
βΆ 001. TIMES ARE CHANGING.
LILITH had to make haste. With fragile infrastructure beginning to crumble, it's obvious that the source of destruction had been disturbed. With the ocular devices upgraded, the ancient text on the book gave some clues. The keys to the book were successfully retrieved by Taryon, Hikaru, Megumi, Toji, Yuji, Bakugou, Todoroki and Raidou.
The book struggled to translate, but several Outsiders found a clue.
Taryon found the following clue: "Humans have destroyed our planet with their greed. Because of this, we will reclaim our land once more. Only beast will walk the Earth."
Marcille found the next one: "There is no way to live in harmony with humans. They will be destroyed, or become one with us as a beast."
Then Yesod: "We will not rest until Earth is ours once more. This is my commandment. I am your god; you will do as I say or be annihilated, such as the human race."
Toji: "Once mankind no longer exists, it will be paradise on the Earth once more. It will return to a perfect state, such as the Garden of Eden."
And Dirk: "CHALKYDRI."
All of this could only mean one thing: The kaiju of Enoch, an angelic being, was going to reclaim the Earth from humans who had caused the Earth to decay. He would surrender the land back to the monsters who first inhabited it long before the human race walked the Earth. This would restore harmony between beast and the Earth, but this also meant it would eventually wipe out humanity. There is only one thing left to do.. go back in time as early as possible and destroy the Chalkydri before it continues to wreak havoc.

βΆ 002. THE FINAL COUNTDOWN.
With the power that she has left, Gwen uses her rift ability one last time. She takes the Outsiders as early in time as she is allowed to, pinpointing exactly to the Chalkydri and it's powerful presence. We are back to the Garden of Eden, but a much earlier period; before any humans ever walked the Earth. Outsiders may catch a glimpse of creatures and animals they have never seen before. Unlike before, all animals and beasts are living peacefully amongst one another. If you wanted to pet some kind of dinosaur, now is your chance, as they are all gentle. This is before man came into the picture.
Gwen heads to the same ruin as before, but it looks.. pristine. Perfect, even. Down the winding staircase she leads, leading them directly to the Chalkydri and it's lair once more. It's almost like it has expected everyone's arrival.
"You've come from the future to stop me... to stop me from recreating this peaceful world before there were humans. I will accept your challenge," it says with a voice that is both feminine and masculine.
The battlefield is a dungeon held up by pearly white pillars, sunlight trickling in through an open hole of the lair. The fight is intense, as characters suffer solar burns and even matter manipulation which turn them into kaiju and other monsters, but eventually, the Outsiders have banned together to weaken the creature. Despite it's ethereal presence, it is mortal to a certain extent.
The one to deliver to final blow and put an end to all of this is Raidou Kuzunoha. The creature fades into dust, and all grows still. Those who were turned into a monster may have a brief moment of feral monster to them, but eventually, their human conscience breaks through. They will be treated at the surface of the ruins by LILITH staff with the antidote that they used before from Ereshkigal's blood.
"Something has changed," Gwen begins, "and I believe it is our future which feels brighter."
With that, Gwen provides an ample rift to take everyone back to LILITH's base in the current year, 2279.

βΆ 003. BACK TO THE FUTURE.
As everyone enters a kaiju made rift for the last time, they will not feel nausea or any other side effects, but an overwhelming sense of joy, even if they have no felt it in a long time. When they arrive in Neo Tokyo.. the arrive in not the LILITH base, but.. an empty warehouse. Without the Chalkydri to lead the other kaiju, to use its rifts to send other monsters to attack the Earth, there is no need for LILITH. What's to become of Neo Tokyo now?
As the Outsiders open the warehouse, the city looks very familiar.. but it looks more.. green and filled.. with a lot more people. The missing people. There is no longer only one third of humanity left, but humanity if flourishing.
As for Captain Yamakawa, Seok Dang, and the rest.. perhaps you will bump into one of them on the streets of Neo Tokyo if you decide to stick around. Yamakawa works for a Special Ops Police Force and Seok Dang makes the best Korean fried chicken at the izakaya across the street.
The future, the present.. it is changed. And it's exactly why LILITH was formed.
It was a success.

βΆ 004. FAREWELL, OUTSIDERS.
This leaves a predicament, though. What's to become of the Outsiders? The angels of LILITH that came from another universe?
A small rift appears, and out of it, steps Eadmund, who instantly joins alongside Gwen. He dips his head in a bow.
"Thank you, for everything you have done to restore peace back to Earth. We will return back to our era and home, but what you decide next is your own fate. You may stay here, as citizens of Neo Tokyo or our combined powers may send you back to a world of your choice. Your own world, or perhaps someone who you cannot be separate from.
A pause.
"The choice is yours. There is no harm either way. You have worked hard, and in return deserve whatever happiness you desire."

βΆ 005. AFTERWORD.
You made it to the FINAL EVENT!! Thank you all for being wonderful players. Be sure to comment on the LOVE MEME. We will keep the communities open so you may read and look back on any of your threads.
Raphael Hamato | Rise of the TMNT | Everlight
Raphael was not the best at the whole researching thing that led them to this point, but he knew that this was it. The other Outsiders figured out the riddles in books with way too many words for his tastes, but if there was one last kaiju to fight? He was there to put fists to work. After all, saving the world was nothing new, even now.
He wished his brothers were here. He felt stronger with them around. But if this was the final fight? He would go out swinging and hope that he could see them again. Or any of the other friends that had come and gone since he was whisked off to Neo Tokyo so many months ago.
But even this feels like a final boss fight in a long standing RPG somewhere - all pearly white and a literal godly dragon? What few hits he managed to get in against the creature left him send sprawling, hitting the dirt and tumbling before he's forcing himself back up with gritted teeth and that stubborn determination that he always has.
"M'okay!" he calls to whichever Outsider notes his turtle shaped crater in the dirt, though he holds one of his arms. The mystic avatar he usually uses is winking out at the side he took the hit at, his green skin burnt and bubbling with obvious forming blisters. "Try ta stay out of that attack's line of sight...ow ow ow..."
[02 - Back To The Future]
With the final fight done, it's a bit strange to come back to Neo Tokyo and...LILITH and the base are gone? It's almost like it didn't exist at all?
"What the...?"
The big alligator snapper can't help but rush off to take a peek outside, though he stays inside just in case. Things are...different. Greener! And there's way more people???
He grins and in the rush of excitement of the team's success - he's scooping up the nearest Outsider and giving them a squeezing hug.
"WE DID IT!!!"
[03 - Farewells]
As much as Neo Tokyo was a part of his life for the last year or so, it wasn't New York City. People came and went, even within LILITH's base, and when asked what to do now? Stay or go?
He's going to go.
His family's still back home, waiting. He misses them so, so much, but he'd be lying if he wasn't going to miss the people he met here either. Raphael might not have known all of them well, given the old lessons of staying out of the way or out of sight of humans, but the ones he did know he appreciated a lot.
He finishes with the last of his things, gathering what little he had here: the little paper mache goat he got from Tanabata, a cleaned and kept bag with ribbon that once held some raspberry donuts from a dear friend, and a few little trinkets from the turtle festival after he got the last hit on one of the kaiju from what feels like ages ago.
A pack over his shoulder, he knows it'll be time to go soon, but he perks up when someone approaches.
"Here to see me off?" he asks, still smiles despite his healing and bandaged arm from the fight with Chalkydri.
[04 - Wildcard]
Anything that you want to do with Raph before we all part ways? Feel free to throw something here. :)
I tag match so if you don't prefer prose, hit me up with action and I'll follow your lead.
Thanks for having me; I had a lot of fun. β₯
