F-31. The Law of all Worlds

Play "Memory 4" from Super Paper Mario.

After combat too exhausting for their mortal bodies… chaos too intense to warrant any kind of peace… now there was quiet. Cheren was first to awake. He stared up at a gray space with countless bubbles displaying scenes.

"I do not understand…"

Cheren gasped and whipped around. Lord English was there… yet, there was a calm demeanor about him. "You were all nothing but… mere creations. You were no different… from mine or Calliope's ideas. It would have taken a simple stroke of the eraser or 'Delete' button to be rid of you. So, why…why did you survive…"

"BecaUse, Caliborn…" Cheren turned once more to find Calliope behind him. "No matter how good we thoUght we were… there was always something we were lacking." She slowly approached her brother. "I Understand… the way all of their hearts linked together with Cheren's… it was a power that no god or creation can live withoUt. It was what all of oUr ideas lacked." She put a hand on her brother's chest. "Heart…"

"…Heart…" Lord English closed his eyes. "…What is Heart… can you tell me that… Calliope…"

"A heart… is what yoU and I share…"

Both their souls glowed bright.

When Cheren reopened his eyes, he was on a boat, drifting along a floating river. The river in question looked like a giant strip of film. There were hundreds of other boats, and each contained all his fellow operatives. When they awoke, they were just as confused as he was. "W…What is this place?"

"It's… the River of Time." MaKayla answered quietly.

With no place for your departed souls to float to… you were brought here.

"That voice." April said. "Calliope…"

Heroes of this dimension… the Kids Next Door… My friends. Lord English, the being that rewrote the universe, destroyed countless multiverses… has been destroyed. The Twenty Keys Prophecy, which had been a trillion years in the making, has come to an end.

"Are you serious?!" Maddy exclaimed. "It's over?!"

Yes. Now, as my essence fades from the bodies of the Seven Lights, your universe is slowly being reborn. What you see before you is the New Universe's timeline. Countless stories and events unfurling their selves. And should you choose to enter one of these times, that is where you will be reborn.

"I bet you Augustus wants to be reborn in the dinosaur age!" Rallo joked.

"Your only line in the story and THAT'S what it is?" Augustus remarked.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to be reborn in MY era." Cheren stated. "But… when we get reborn… what happens? Do we… forget…?"

You will have a choice, but it is a choice you all will have to agree on. You can choose to remain on this river, and watch different versions of yourselves be born in this universe. Or you can take their place, and you will remember everything that has happened in your former universe. But as a result of this reincarnation, everyone will remember everything that has happened… and everything else that had happened, except the destruction of the universe, will remain the same. This means… the people you have lost will not return.

"So, my parents… Danny… and anyone else… they'll still be dead?" Cheren asked, saddened.

That is correct.

"Hm… well, guys, what do you think we should do?" Cheren asked.

There was a moment of silence. "I…I would like Mom to come back…" Sunni said. "But I don't want to forget."

"Me either." Maddy followed. "We've been through so much together. We HAVE to remember!"

"Yeh. This just proves that life is important." Sheila stated. "That's why we have to have as many adventures as possible… and remember to live!"

"I don't wanna forget all the new friends I made." Mary said.

"And if something like this ever happened again… we'll be ready." Aurora said.

"Besides, we can always visit our loved ones in the Spirit World." George said casually.

"Then it's decided." Cheren concluded. "We're the ones who made this New World… we're going to live in it!"

Hm hm hm! I knew you would. All of you… are such amazing people. I suppose my only regret… is not being able to join you on your adventures.

"Are you sure?" Cheren asked. "Is there really no way for you to join us?"

I suppose there could be… but I couldn't. For the sake of the universe, my brother and I should not be allowed to exist. Even if we could, we have done too much destruction. We could never redeem ourselves. But hopefully… the two of us will end up in our own Spirit World. Hopefully… we can continue to watch the passing of worlds… and live together… happily. Why… I can feel him now. The chaos in his heart is nesting. I don't believe I've ever seen him feel this way before.

"It's the Balance of Light and Darkness." Negatar Gnaa said from his own boat. "No matter how great the darkness grows, the light will return to put it to rest. It is the law that all worlds have. Of course… that means the darkness will eventually return."

"LORD GNAA!!" Cheren exclaimed. "If you're here, then… were you alive, too?!"

"Of course! Aang and I teleported just before the Octogan exploded! Keep in mind we had no energy to spare afterwards… but now that we're going to the New World, there's someone I want to see again."

Indeed… no matter how wonderful the peace, people will never stop struggling. But, if people continue to struggle, they will no doubt succeed. That is the Law That Defines All Worlds… and that law was how you were able to succeed. Kids Next Door… I pray that you will continue to live… and your struggles will continue to bring light to the universe. Just as you have brought life to us. Farewell… Kids Next Door… Seven Lights… I will never forget you…

A heavenly light awaited them at the end of the river. "Well… there it is…" Cheren spoke, not even squinting his eyes at it.

"Our New World…" Maddy smiled.

"The one we worked so hard to build…" April stared.

"Our new adventure…" Sheila smiled.

Cheren smirked. "I can't wait."

They sailed beyond the gate… and from there, brand new adventures awaited.

"Caliborn… I'm sorry I was sUch a bad sister."

"Calliope… I'm sorry… I was such a bad writer."

"No, Brother… it was a faUlt we both shared. BUt now that we have met them… we can create new worlds… more beaUtifUl than we ever dreamed. And we'll make them… together…"

"Yeah… and this time… we won't hurt anybody…"

The IDA flipped through their images of the multiverse like a book. The Grand Line, Beach City, Foster's Home, the Arabian Nights, not a single shred of Lord English or The Thirteen was found. The people went back to their peaceful lives as if nothing had happened. (Play "Credits" from Zelda: Twilight Princess.)

"Phew… it's really over…" Zedekiah said. "Well, Ford, I guess you can go back to your world, now."

"Sorry, I'm going to the Escalator Dimension with Bo-bobo!" Ford was wearing escalator merchandise. He ran off in a hurry.

"Sigh… I knew he was gonna make use of the Multi-Passport we gave him."

With money borrowed from her cousin, Ib, April Goldenweek bought the Guertena Gallery. Reconstructions were done to include each and every hidden work of art. To top it all off, the paintings were allowed to free roam in the main gallery, interacting with all the excited and curious kids and adults. The Canvas Ladies and Headless Statues no longer attacked them. Some gathered around Mary as she told her exciting story.

Elsewhere, Kami sighed in shame for her undead daughter. A reptilian hand patted her shoulder: it was King K. Rool. "Fear not, my dear… we will find a way to restore your daughter's flesh. Now… I must go. Watch the throne room for me, my new subordinate." The king stood and left the room.

Team Gnaa was in the meeting room at Hideout Helm. They looked down the hall when they heard footsteps. Giovanni, Jessie, James, and Meowth arrived. "Oh ho ho ho!" Eggman laughed. "I can't believe you survived!"

"We tried to keep our distance from those monsters." Giovanni replied. "I am surprised I was able to gain Lord English's trust… I'm sure the all-knowing must have known all along: while those foolish Darknesses were fighting to have the worlds of their dreams, I was making some REAL progress! Isn't that right… Majora?"

Majora was boredly sitting at the chair that once belonged to Ganon. "MM-hm."

"I never had doubt that the Kids Next Door could defeat Lord English." King K. Rool said. "You'll have to fill me in on the exciting details later. …I suppose you have confirmed our suspicions?"

"Yes." Giovanni smirked, presenting a notebook. "Ever since the arrival of Crest, and not to mention Diancie… I always knew there would be more. And I have found them!" He slapped the notebook on the table. "The New Firstborn!"

"CUT THE ZELDA MUSIC!" Meloetta shouted. "WE'RE PARTYING SHREK STYLE!" (Play "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth!)

"I thought love was only true in FAIRY tales!" The Fairy Sisters were singing onstage. People from around the universe were here at Coruscant to celebrate the greatest victory ever.

"Meant for someone else, but not for me!" Cheren danced with Panini, Anthony with Fybi, Mason with Sheila—you handle the rest!

"Love was out to get to me. That's the way it seems." Penelope Mousse tapped Augustus's shoulder. He turned around, smiled, and Penelope was immediately tackled by an older Nel.

"Disappointment haunted all my dreeeeams…" Lee Andrew saw Wendy dancing with Romeo and looked down in sadness.

"And then I saw her FACE!" Don Quixote Sugar sprung up on stage in revealing dancer's clothes. Hearts popped out of many boys' eyes.

"Now I'M a believer!" Caesar Clown shot fireworks up in the sky, soaring above the dancing Brotherhood members.

"Not a trace…" Vweeb was dancing in a circle consisting of Morgiana, Aisa, Kodama, Maddy, and MaKayla. Aisa sensed the little perv and kicked him away.

"Of doubt in my mind!" Aeincha was clipping Carol and Goombella's hair. "Waaaah!" Vweeb flew over them.

"I'm in love (ooooo) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried…" Haruka tapped Lee's shoulder and extended a hand. Lee smiled and began to dance with her.

Lola was about to eat some Jell-O blood, when Vweeb bounced off it. She paused briefly, and Rawberry seized the chance to EAT the Jell-O.

"I thought love was more or less a given thing." Tamatoa was strutting his shiny stuff as the Hivebent crew was dancing on it.

"But the more I gave, the less I got, oh yeah…" People left some room for Mocha and Kaleo to share a dance. Mocha's giant friends cheered for her.

"What's the use in trying?" Nickel Joe was riding a Fat Jack balloon and throwing lollipops down for all the Gallagher kids. The Baby Trio scared them off with their powers and stole the candy.

"All you get is pain." Phosphora ignited the sky with her Lightning Chariot.

"When I wanted sunshine, I got rain…" The Firstborn glowed and made a star. Crest was trying to float close to Midna, who was annoyed.

"And then I saw her FACE!" Sugar twirled, caught Vweeb between her toes, and tossed him into the audience!

"Now I'M a believer!" Chimney, Index, and Yosafire were scoffing down lots of food at the table. Vweeb was caught up in it, but he flew off with the crumbs. Zach and Mako were seen sticking French fries up their noses.

"Not a trace…" CP10 was doing synchronized dancing with Rokushiki. Eldwin was there, but not Lucci. (Again, Vweeb flew over them.)

"Of doubt in my mind!" The party reached the lost dimension where Tachyon and Tallest Miyuki were dancing.

"I'm in love (ooooo) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried." Sanula was happily playing his giant organ. Vweeb landed on one end of it, and with a sudden strum of keys, he was flung off, landing in Arianna's ice cream. Vweeb waved at her, and Arianna giggled.

The kids switched dance partners: Cheren now had Sheila, Anthony had Nebula, Sunni had Mason, Nagisa had Panini, Jinta had Maddy, Chris had Kodama—you mix 'em up!

Star Wolf was soaring in the sky on their Wolfens, which were on autopilot as they rode like surfers. Daddy waved down at his daughter, Carol. Jessie blew a bubble castle for Shelly, who posed proudly while the Minish KND, Team Rupert, and her family danced on her crown. Ib, Mary, and Madotsuki were bouncing inside the bubble castle. Emily used bending to levitate a metal platform for her, Sarah, Gary, Sheldon Cooper, and Amy Farah Fowler. Suki Crystal created a giant ice slide that curved around several buildings. April stood on a rooftop and made paintings of everyone's events.

"What's the use in trying?" Elsa fired a giant snowball at Jack Frost.

"All you get is pain." The snowball destroyed Cleveland's apartment, and down he fell.

"When I wanted sunshine, I got raaaaiin." The Spirit KND danced in midair. The water from Cleveland's tub drenched them, much to their chagrin.

"THEN I SAW HER FAAAACE!" Danika, Kayla, and Crystal were spinning Nolan's wheelchair around and around!

"Now I'm a believer! (HEY!)" Santa Claus was dancing with Mrs. Claus and Princess Anna was playing with Mr. Mogul and Simon (who were still Rainbow Monkey dolls).

"Not a trace…" Captain Slag and Black John Licorice were chugging soda and grog bottles—their drinks were mixed up, so they spat at both Rusty Petes.

"Of DOUBT IN MY MIND!" Jorgen von Strangle approached Boa Hancock with flowers. She scowled and PUNCHED him in the face.

"I'm in looooooove—I'M A BELIEVER!" Apis was trying to dance with Sipa, but the latter turned her into Vweeb and kicked her away.

"I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe I believe—EVERYONE!" cheered Sugar.

"I… BE-LIEVE!" Morgan and the Corporate Presidents raised their arms.

"I… BE-LIEVE!" The former World Leaders raised their arms.

"I… BE-LIEVE!" Vaati and the White and Black Lotuses raised their arms.

"I… BE-LIEVE!" Team Gnaa raised their arms (just 'cause they're plotting something, don't mean they can't party).

"I… BE-LIEVE!" The Underworld prisoners raised their arms (watching the party on TV).

"I… BE-LIEEEEEEVE!"

"Don't go to sleep, YET!" Mavis shouted into the microphone. "We have TONS MORE songs to GO!"

"TEN MILLION OUT OF TEEEEEEEEEN!" Meloetta screamed to the heavens.

And right they were. The party lasted for an entire month, and—honestly, it was more exhausting than the final battle. So, while everyone's dancing like there's no tomorrow, let us go over some things.

The Encyclopod restored countless races that had gone extinct, such as the White Asparaguses, the Shandians, the Smurfs, and even the Dark Leeches had their own planet. The Brotherhood of Evil was stronger than before, and they continued to challenge the Kids Next Door. Plus, even more villains began to appear and cause chaos. But what challenges awaited our favorite kids at this moment? Well…

God Production

The many eggs brimmed with light and finally hatched. A swarm of brand new Firstborn—one that looked like a genie, an orange and yellow one, one dressed like a pirate, one with a snowflake chest, a black shadowy one, a tiny dot-sized one, and many more burst from their eggs and set out to roam the universe. And they would spread chaos to the New Universe like no other.

The story continues in the Newborn Era.

Man, I cannot believe we actually made it. The Seven Lights Saga, after three years of production, has finally ended! I am so proud of this story. Okay, this story in particular fell kind of weak and I have to rewrite the battles, but even then… this story, this entire universe that I created… I love each and every bit of it. None of you could possibly understand my pride for this series or how much work I put into making it. Every plot point, every bit of foreshadowing, every character… Even after this grand saga, I can't bring myself to end it now.

As you can guess by those Firstborn, I do have another series planned. In fact, expect a few trailers for these upcoming stories. Thanks once again to IDA and Ohaymikoto for the regular reviews for this final adventure. This is Jared T. Warner, and stay tuned for… one final sad song.

…

…

…

…

Somewhere, far beyond the reaches of the universe, people were gathered at a stranded bar. "End of the Road" it was called. People were moping in depression: Dwen Murphy, Newd Yhprum, Jason and Hannah Dimalanta, Sonia and Manic the Hedgehog, Sally and Harley Uno…

One of these forgotten beings stepped up on a karaoke stage. He was a golden triangle with a top-hat and one eye. Bill Cipher turned on the stereo and sang to the sad lyrics.

And so I'm alone… banished…

From the Gameverse…

Never to return… to…

The Gameverse…

"Don't forget ME," I cried!

But alas, I've been cast aside

Erased. Forgotten. Gone… forever…

Now I'm gonna cryyyyy!

The poor triangle wept on stage. His sobs filled the bar with more misery.

I've been stripped from my throne and I'm crying…

I'm all alone… and I can't stop crying *sniff*

My Lord has forgot me and I'm crying!

Oh, if you only KNEW…

The things I DID for you…

H-He was my King… I- I- I was his Knight… *SNIFF, SNIFF*

You would tremble by the thought of our might! *SNIIIIFF!*

We had it all… we could have WON! *boo hoo*

We crushed ALL the WORLDS… *sniff, sniff* and it was fun!

And here I am… less… than nothing

All I can do is cry…

Another moment of sobbing. Bill cried so much that someone had to bring him a tissue. He was able to calm himself and keep singing.

We had women, treasures, and BOOZE!

With Thirteen Darknesses, HOW could we lose?!

The two of us would RULE… together

A happy ending that lasted… forever

But now… we're lost in the Realm… of Nether

WHY can't I stop CRYIIIIING?

He needed another moment to himself. They were starting to think they were happier without him.

We had a thousand worlds, now I'm crying…

We had a million soldiers… now. I'm. Crying

INFINITE POWER! And now. I'm. Crying!

Oh, what am I to DO?!

I'm erased… away from you…

I stuck by your side and I'm crying…

I waited a trillion years… NOW I'm CRYING

Take Polokus, instead! Then THEY would be crying!

It's over! I'm finished, THROUGH!

All because of you…

The last notes of the song played, and the last of Bill's tears dripped. He stood, sniffled, and wiped the last one. "Thank you. I'm here all week. Try the veal. Hey, ever hear about this guy named Moses?"
