Chapter 45: Magachi & Tamarei (Part 2 - Season Finale)

"Spectator: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!??!"
"Goddess: I DON'T KNOW! SOMEONE CLEAR THE DEBRIS!"
(Everyone on Earth was curious on what happened as the debris cleared, everyone was speechless in awe as Gaito stood on top of the fallen Zeus with his metal arm raised high.)
"Announcement: King Of Gods, Zeus... has fallen. By order of the stipulation, the loser must be stripped of their rank and handed down to the winner of this match, Gaito Tamarei!"
(Everyone on Earth was stunned then roared loudly as cheers for Gaito was heard across the world, including other planets.)
"Newswomen: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..! WE WAS JUST CROWNED A NEW KING OF GODS! GAITO TAMAREI HAS DEFEATED THE ALMIGHTY, ZEUS!!!"
(A seal opened as Gaito slowly made his way toward the exit. The Tamarei Family, Okisaki and Choryrth arrived to congratulate Gaito on his victory.)

"Masunashi: BROTHERRRR!!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU..!!!"
"Okisaki: YOU DID GREAT, GAITO..!!!"
"Choryrth: Gaito, all due respect. I am very very glad you've won."
"Gaito: Thanks guys..."
(A massive explosion was heard, coming from the underworld which the cameras switched to Hell where Sawano low on both power and stamina to fight back since Cerberus came out behind everyone's back and had everyone jeering.)
"Sawano: GAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

(Cerberus continued biting Sawano as if he was a chew toy as Hades generated enough power to fight again and Sawano tried escaping its grip. Cerberus bit him again but aimed for Sawano's neck and spat out his chewed up body at another rock pillar as he laid there unconscious but still alive after Cerberus continued biting him. Inside Sawano's mind, he looked around and saw nothing but the dark as he was alone.)

"Sawano(Subconscious): Damn... I can't win this... I'm not strong enough to fight against Hades or Cerberus..."
"???: Are you saying that out of pity or are you truly weak?"
(He turned around to see a crowd of everyone whom died throughout the years.)
"Disciple: Master Sawano! You can't give up now, you came a long way and you're about to quit like this?!"
"Sawano(Subconscious): But... I can't do it... They're strong..."
"Katsugi: BUT YOU'RE STRONGER MASTER!"
(He looked and saw Katsugi, his first disciple out of everyone there and saw more familiar faces.)
"Fuchibuto: You're my nephew and you didn't hold back against me!"
"Akari: Sawano, we all have been watching you even though we've all are good and bad spirits. I never should've been with the order to begin with, you've came so far and look at how many friends you've gotten!"
"Sawano(Subconscious): But.. what can I do..?"
"Kirby: Do what you always do for the family Sawano."
(He looked up and saw his parents once again.)

"Radella: Fight for our honor."
"Ankoku: And fight for our family. Even if we're all not blood, we all can hear you Sawano. Call to us... and we'll help you.. brother."
(He gasped and held back tears but started breaking down after losing his cool.)
"Sawano(Subconscious): You're right...! Its time I stopped saying "I can't do it...!" If I don't win this fight, I'll be erased from existence..."
"Fuchibuto: You won't be alone."
"Katsugi: We'll be there helping you Sawano. Let us help."
"Sawano: Ok..!"

(Everyone from Sawano's family to his rivals, allies, and disciples connected one another and synced their minds with Sawano's where he returned to his mind. Everyone even Azumi was screaming for Sawano to get up before Hades killed him as he grabbed Sawano by the hair and pulled out one of his horns, leaving him with one horn and his tail but a booming voice appeared from Sawano which startled Hades.)

"Sawano(Altered Voice Of All The Synced Minds): You're finished Hades. ITS OUR TURN!"
"Hades: WHAT?!"
(Sawano forcefully escaped Hades's grip and delivered a powerful left kick to the back of Hades's head after rocketing to his head which then launched him far across the land for a chance to regenerate and transform.)
"Okisaki: BROTHER?!?!"

(Lights started to flash from Sawano as he was being lifted in mid-air and started regenerating instantly thanks to Ankoku's durability. As Sawano started to transform, his appearance was very different as his left side of his body was completely black with Anti-God markings and his right side of his body was engulfed in white flames, revealing his Demi-God markings and Sawano's wings started to regrow as he returned to the Unholy Demon he was long ago. After transforming, Sawano stared down Cerberus with his left eye showing black and red as the right eye showed white and red and then he'd finally remove his mask, releasing his full power without it and then grabbed both Hellblazer and the Honjo Masamune sword and saw Cerberus running towards him.)

"Sawano(Altered Voice): This... is OUR final form.... "The Anti-Magachi..."
(Cerberus jumped into the air to bite down on Sawano once again but didn't bother to flinch or stare him down.)
"Rest in peace, Cerberus. I wish you'd be given a better chance of life. Devil Phantom Slash!"

(At speed even faster than light, Sawano instantly killed Cerberus after being diced to pieces with both of the swords and started walking towards Hades. The rumbling came from the ground as Hades reappeared and started attacking Sawano again but kept missing every opportunity possible as Sawano was now too fast for Hades to even see or sense and started slashing every open spot their was and Hades quickly summoned his Bident where he and Sawano clashed with weapon to weapon to Sawano whom was still too fast, no matter how Hades used it. After giving up, he'd quickly turned invisible as Sawano sensed Hades from behind and landed another sword strike on his arm which Hades then saw his entire left arm slashed off and shocked everyone else on the fatal blow.)

"Hades: AAAGHHH...!!! HOW?!?!?... NO! AWAKEN THE FOUR TITANS!!!"
(Chains was heard clicking as the four titans was released, protecting Hades from Sawano. He'd fearlessly look at the four titans about to attack him then Sawano exploded the titans into bits before they'd quickly regenerate and attacked Hades with a series of sword attacks.)
"Sawano(Altered Voice): DEMON, HELLFIRE, INFINITE.... MYSTICAL PHANTOM SLASH!!!"
(By breaking the sound barrier, Sawano started exploding Tartarus by his speed and power causing random explosions all over the realm and landed over one thousand slashes in one go as Hades began regenerating, Sawano saw the Titans beginning to regenerate then quickly charged his fist with white inferno.)

"UNHOLY INFERNO FIST!!!"

(With a trail of molten lava following Sawano, he landed a direct hit on Hades's face then created a massive crater after blasting him directly into the ground which placed Hades nowhere to go now. Seconds later, Sawano looked at the titans finished regenerating and started to reattack Sawano which then showed his eyes both red and white. After so, everyone was still watching the fight in awe to Sawano's newest transformation then he'd begin to power up enough force to escape the titans which then blew them all away as he rocketed himself to the top of the skies and had enough inferno charged.)

"(Thinking): Goodbye to you all, Sister... My friends... Yes, even you too... Gaito.. Thank you all..."
"Hades: YOU WOULDN'T....!!! YOU'LL KILL YOURSELF TOO, DAMNED IDIOT!!!"
"Sawano(Altered Voice): ITS WORTH IT TO RID THE UNIVERSE OF YOU! THIS ENDS NOW, All Phantoms...SURROUND ME! DEMON, INFINITE, UNHOLY, HELLFIRE, DEVIL.... PHANTOM SURGE!"

(After stealing a portion of Hades's power and combined it with his transformation, Sawano released an explosive Inferno wave powerful enough that destroyed eighty percent of Tartarus as the titans has became eradicated from the immense heat Sawano has combined. After Hades saw the wave, he tried fighting back with a large wave of purple inferno which began to fail after a strong yet short struggle. Which then pained screams faded away as he was wiped out from Sawano's fire and Hades's flames combined. Moments later, reality began cracking and shattering from the explosion and the light was so bright for the camera, everyone watching was blinded temporary. After the explosion, nothing was left of Tartarus except dark skies, a humongous crater and lava flowing around the crater and the skies showing cracks as the explosion damaged reality. As the light was going away, the cameras lost connection but exploded from the heat. Then, Sawano body was falling out of the sky and landed inside the crater he made from the explosion earlier but was burnt completely from the inside to the outside of his body. He could barely breathe, speak, hear, see or move at all as he continued to lay there, dying slowly but painfully. A portal opened and footsteps was heard as Gaito looked down, clicking his tongue.)

"Gaito: Always got to save you, huh Sawano? You know what, I think you irritate me more than I irritate myself and that's saying something."
(He could not say anything or react then Gaito picked up carefully to not burn himself then he'd see Xiazress chained and bloody from fighting with Hades and toddler Kazuya inside a sealed orb Hades placed to make sure it doesn't roll away but Kazuya was able to breathe still. After grabbing the three of them and traveling back to Earth, the announcement was made during the travel about the match.)
"Announcement: God Of Hell, Hades.... Has been killed. By order of the stipulation, the loser will now be stripped of his rank and be given to the winner, Sawano Magachi!"
(Inside Sawano's Subconsciousness, he saw a chair and sat down but looked around to see nobody around.)

"???: SO. A filthy mortal finally kills Hades."
(He'd turn around to see another God in front of him.)
"Sawano(Subconscious): Who are you?"
"Chronos: I am the God Of Time of course, Chronos or known as "Father Time."
"Sawano: I see..."
"Chronos: Now make this snappy, I don't like being around humans. What do you want as the new God Of Hell huh? Eternal youth, immortality, immunity to defeat? All of you mortals are picky, picky, picky!"
"Sawano: Actually, I don't need anything."
"Chronos: Huh?"
"Sawano: I just came to be accepted by you as the new God Of Hell. Also, I'm not a human..."
"Chronos: Seriously? Very well... Promise me this, I will accept you as the new God Of Hell if you do not act like my idiotic son has."
"Sawano: I promise, Chronos sir."
(He smiled, already taking an interest to him.)

"Chronos: Very well. Your role has been approved. Now get out of my sight!"
(Sawano was sent back to his mind alone but sat there waiting to wake up. As everyone in Hakodate waited for Sawano's return, they'd all see Sawano completely burnt after combining his inferno with Hades's. Gaito continued to carry him.)
"Gaito: He's alive still. But he's far beyond the help of healing or any potion that'll cure him instantly. Even I'm surprised he's somehow in one piece."
(Okisaki walked to the charred Sawano and held his hand, taking the pains of being burnt.)
"Onara: Well... what's going to happen to him..?"
"Gaito: The only way he'd live is if I'd give Sawano half of my life force, of course... that would also mean my Eternal Youth would be weakened and I could die sooner than later."
(They all looked at one another and thought about it.)
"Okisaki: Whatever it takes to save my brother... I'd risk it."
"Gaito: I'd say the same thing."

(After the decision was made, Gaito laid Sawano on the ground and transferred bits of his life force, which started to reveal his age's appearances as he started to look forty six. A moment later, Gaito paused which Sawano once again started to breathe normally but was still unconscious which Okisaki smiled.)
"Gaito: I don't get it.. why isn't he waking up?"
"Okisaki: Oh right... Senvoinians actually hibernate. Give or take.... fifteen years."
"Everyone: FIFTEEN YEARS?!?!?!?!?!?"
"Okisaki: Yeah. On our home planet, it's just a year and a half for us."
"Oshikida: W-wait a minute, so we'd have to live without Sawano for the next fifteen years!?"

(They all heard a baby crying as Gaito was also carrying Kazuya and Xiazress in his right arm carefully and lets them go as everyone else was relieved that they was ok and Alesander quickly got through everyone to see his daughter again and Kazuya. Meanwhile in Sawano's mind, he saw everyone once again and smiled as they all left one by one.)

"Katsugi: I'm glad I got to fight alongside you master, I pray to see you again in another life!"
(He continued to smile but it was hard for him for Sawano to see them go.)

"Akari: Keep striving to do great things!"
"Fuchibuto: Keep the Magachi family running!"
"Disciples: Thank you for everything Master Sawano!"
(Sawano's smile began to quiver as tears started leaking from his face and his family paused and came to Sawano, hugging him.)
"Kirby: Thank you for everything, Sawano. I regret the negative things I've said."
"Radella: Same here.. Please forgive us, my child..."
"Fuchibuto: We all have done horrific things and you rose to the top and never gave up.. I'm proud of you and Okisaki, nephew."
"Ankoku: If we don't come back, tell Okisaki her big bro said what's up. But also."
(He'd place his fist on his core.)
"We'll always be in here, Sawano. Inside that core is the Magachi's flame. Don't let it die out. Ever... got it little bro?"
(Streaks of tears started to roll down Sawano's cheeks as he fell to his knees and started crying and Ankoku helped him back up and hugged Sawano as tears showed on their faces as well.)

"Sawano: I'm... really.. gonna m-miss you guys... I forgive you.."
"Ankoku: Us too... us too..."
(They both smiled as Kirby, Radella, Fuchibuto and Ankoku walked off into the end of his mind, but Ankoku stopped and waved at him and cried as he vanished. Sawano looked around and then up which showed a picture of him and his family, the one he got on his amulet when he was thirteen years old.)
"Sawano: I love you guys... I thank.. you... family..."
(As Sawano's mind was now becoming dark, he sat in the chair in his mind and waited to awaken from his hibernation in fifteen years.)

-Fifteen Years Later-

(Spring appeared in the gardens as massive changes happened to the world.)
"Gaito(Narrating): Fifteen years later, The Intercontinental Elemental Tournament was forever known as one of the successful plans in Japan history. Over a whopping ninety seven billion yen was made after the entire event. Xiazress stepped down as the Void Goddess and went to live the life as a mother with a new boyfriend. Saikan Academy finally returns to normal after all of the events. I even opened my own academy in Olympus! As for me...?"
(Gaito laid next to Isabel whom was hugging his arm in bed and had an expressionless look on his face but was happy.)

"(In Mind): I ENDED UP BEING MARRIED.... (Aloud): But ya know, its not that bad... BECAUSE I'M THE KING OF ALL THE MOTHERF****NG GODS!!!!"
(Gaito quickly got up and ran out to the window with no shirt on in Olympus and yelled out his balcony with a bold voice.)
"ALL HAIL YOUR KINGGGGGG!!!!!!!!"
(He then zapped on his official attire as King of Gods and paused for a moment.)
"I think I should pay an old friend a visit."
(In the mountains, Gaito instantly zapped himself to a familiar area and knocked on the door and opened it to see her.)
"Hey! How's it going?"
"Okisaki: Gaito! Its great to see you! How's the King Of Gods thing going?"
"Gaito: Just great. Now I can finally relax.... How's your brother?"
"Okisaki: Still hasn't woken up yet."
"Gaito: Damn.."
"Okisaki: How's you and ISABEL..???"
"Gaito: S-SHHHHHHH!"
"Okisaki: You and Isabel tied the knot, Gaiiitooo???"
"Gaito: SHUT UP!!!! Yes... me and Isabel did have a kid after the fight with Zeus."
"Okisaki: Awwww, when can I see it?!"
"Gaito: Soon, when Sawano awakens. I'll bring em' over."
"Okisaki: I'll look forward to it!"
(As Gaito and Okisaki continued to talk, Sawano began to wake up and looked around.)

"Sawano: Wait... w-where am I..? The Unholy Inferno Temple... right.."
(He felt his hand being tightened as he saw a foot sticking out and looked under the blanket as Azumi was sleeping on top of him, blushing yet smiling while sleep and Sawano then covered his mouth and looked around to do something quickly before anyone saw.)
"Sawano(Thinking): HOLY SHIT... AZUMI..?!?! W-WHA- WHA.... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE....?!?!? OK... THIS IS A FIRST... ESPECIALLY A FIRST..."
(Azumi started to groan then got up and rubbed her eyes and looked at Sawano smiling.)
"Azumi: Sawano-Kun, welcome back!"
"Sawano: A-Azumi...? Why were u uh..."
"Azumi: Shh... Sawano I uh.. I waited... but I couldn't wait anymore..."
(She whispered into his ear with a blushing smile.)
"(Whispering): Hinami is now in our lives...!"

(Sawano understood what she meant and collapsed in shock as Azumi continued to smile. Hours later, Sawano started flying around Hakodate after not walking for fifteen years and saw peace throughout the streets then started to hear clapping as everyone in Hakodate cheered and whistled for Sawano on his victory against Hades as he flew down but fell on his knees due to his weak legs and started to fall but was helped up by Oshikida and Tsuka.)

"Oshikida: Sawano!"
"Tsuka: Congrats on your win!"
"Sawano: Aw.. thanks guys."
(They helped him walk to the center of Hakodate where two statues was built of him and Gaito and had him in a shocked state.)
"Both: Ta-da!!!!"
(Baisho walked up to Sawano with the entire Elemental Federal Branch.)
"Baisho: Sawano, I want to apologize for the way I have acted towards you. We all do, none of us wanted to believe it but when it was all true, we had no choice but to avoid you."
"Sawano: Say no more, I hated myself for even getting myself killed in the first place."
"Baisho: On behalf of everyone here, we shall host you and Gaito a party tonight in honor of your big victory!"
(Everyone cheers for the offer and Sawano smiled.)

"Sawano: Well.... it wouldn't be cool if I said no."
"Baisho: Let us celebrate Japan's heroes! Sawano Magachi and Gaito Tamarei, tonight!!!!"
(Later on that night, the massive party began as everyone started to worship the statues as Gaito and Sawano was signing autographs and taking pictures with their fans. Meanwhile, unexpected guests appeared.)
"Chimon: Mind if we have some fun?"
(The country leaders and their teams decided to join in on the party which Baisho told them. A while later, Azumi found Sawano and they both hugged and held hands as they both was ready for the announcement.)

"Sawano: Excuse me! May I have your attention?"
(Everyone even Gaito who was chomping down on hoagies gave Sawano their attention as Azumi was holding her hands behind her back.)
"I want to thank all of you for the support, especially my family. Speaking of which... me and Azumi would like to introduce you all to our child... Hinami Magazaki!"
(Hinami waved at everyone after appearing behind the both of them with a small katana and a mask to concealing her identity as everyone else started to cheer in surprise and Gaito dropped another hoagie out of his hand in shock to what Sawano just said. Pictures was being taken of Sawano, Azumi and Hinami as the others continued to have fun as Xiazress then saw Sawano with Azumi.)
"Xiazress: Sawano..?"
"Sawano: Oh... Xiazress."
"Xiazress: What's going on here..?"
"Sawano: Just had a-"
(Azumi quickly appeared behind Xiazress.)

"Azumi: May I ask... why exactly you're talking to my Sawano?"
"Xiazress: YOUR SAWANO?! I DON'T SEE ANY MARKS OF YOURS ON HIM!"
"Azumi: Actually, I'm the mother of me AND Sawano's child.. Hinami Magazaki. So... to prove my point... SHE. is the mark me and Sawano has left."
"Xiazress: But you didn't take his virginity!"
"Azumi: So what?!"
"Sawano: Ok ladies.. calm down here!"
"Both: You calm down!"

(They both continued to argue as Sawano could do nothing about it. A while later, Sawano took a trip to Magachi Mountain and sat on the cliff, where his adventure all started for him. As Sawano silently looked at the peace in Hakodate and the party still going on, Gaito sat next to him without being sensed.)

"Gaito: Hey."
"Sawano: Hey."
"Gaito: Congrats against Hades."
"Sawano: You too against Zeus. So... we're both Gods now. Gods with a family."
"Gaito: Yup."
"Sawano: So this is it."
"Gaito: Hm?"
"Sawano: This is it, the Magachi path has finally came to a close. Years, I've been on a killing spree. All for what really..?"
"Gaito: Don't say it like that man. Look at how far we've came really. We both was powerless nobodies before. When I met you, you've kicked my ass once and... I beat yours as Ankoku."
"Sawano: Ha. I won't argue. I did get my ass kicked an awful lot."
(Gaito looked at the clock as it was midnight and a new days started.)
"Gaito: Hey. Its April right?"
"Sawano: Yup."
"Gaito: Yesterday was the twenty ninth of April, correct man?"
"Sawano: Yeah- Wait.. why are you asking me these questions?"
"Gaito: Happy birthday Sawano. You're finally thirty four years old."
(He was surprised that Gaito knew out of all people and laughed a bit.)

"Sawano: Thanks. I did not know today was my birthday."
"Gaito: That's because you take things too goddamn seriously to look at the reasons to calm down. Now you got a daughter with Azumi out of all people! Listen to me, take it easy alright?"
"Sawano: You're right Gaito. I should take it easy, its going to be weird not fighting anymore."
"Gaito: Yeah, it is. Whelp...I'm gonna go. Also."
(With a zap of lightning, Sawano's God Of Hell power was truly given to him.)
"Have fun. Catch ya later, Sawano."

(Gaito then vanished as he returned to Olympus and Sawano stood up on the cliff and saw the moon shining until was startled by unexpecting voices. He turned around and was at a massive lost of words as everyone was resurrected which they was all confused after their location, After looking at them, a telepathic message came to his head.)

"Gaito(Telepathy): Enjoy. I did you a favor and got you back all the ones you've missed."
(Sawano slowly walked toward them speechless, yet happy and hugged them all once again.)
"Sawano: Welcome back to life... everyone..."

-One month later-

(An explosion was heard in the streets as civilians started running for their lives.)
"P.A System: WARNING! This is an announcement from the Elemental Federal Branch, the threat is negative eight stars. Repeat: negative eight stars! Evacuate the area immediately!"
(Seven individuals started walking out of the explosion as they all laughed as the chaos they've caused until three young fighters stepped in front of them, blocking their path.)
"Goon: Huh.?! What the hell are those little brats doing here?!!!"
"Goon #2: YOU KIDS MUST HAVE A DEATH WISH MESSING WITH THE SHADOW COBRAS!"
"???: On my command..."
(The three of them nodded as the goon's leader blasted an energy blast and one of the kids in a black cloak deflected the blast which surprised the goons.)
"Goon: FORGET THESE KIDS, LETS KILL THEM!"
"???: Kazuya."
(Kazuya walked up to them with his katana sealed yet had no fear of turning back. As he snapped his fingers after the goons froze, they'd all witness their own heads being slashed off without a sword being lifted.)

"Kazuya: Yawn... someone clean up this mess... Obviously I'm not doing it."
"Shadow Cobra Leader: Y-YOU KIDS...! YOU THREE DAMNED... KIDS..!!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!"
(A gun was pulled out and was fired until the third child caught the bullet but wasn't hurt by it. Then she rushed towards the leader with her head down and dodged the incoming attacks and landed a kick to his gut and then threw him to the ground where then her blade was touching the leader's neck.)
"W-...WHO ARE YOU CHILDREN...?!"
(They removed their cloaks and hoods, revealing themselves.)
"Kazuya: Kazuya Ataharu."
"Shibuto: Shibuto Tamarei."
"Hinami: Hinami Magazaki. We are one of the next generation of fighters to stand and defend Japan's honor. Scum like you... don't deserve to live another breath."
(She began to swing the sword until Kazuya told her to pause for a moment as he looked down into his eyes and stared into his soul which he eventually knocked him unconscious.)

"Kazuya: Too slow."
"Hinami: No fair!"
"Kazuya: Sorry, but that's how it works! Got to be fast enough!"
"Shibuto: Come on, lets go. We can't keep doing fighter work without licenses! Lets head to Saikan Academy and get our licenses!"
(Kazuya paused and looked up, thinking of Gaito.)
"Kazuya: Thank you for training me these past few years... Master Gaito."
(He caught up with Shibuto and Hinami as the three of them was off to get their fighting licenses. The sun shined down on the three of them as it was now sunrise.)
