Our Destiny

Epilogue: A Legend Is Born

Mario: To Meggy! The undisputed champion of FinalFest!

Everyone: Cheers!

Everyone raised a glass up into the air, giving a toast to Meggy for winning her competition.

Meggy: To my team. Who picked me up when I fell down. I will forever be in your gratitude.

Everyone: Cheers!

Mario stands and lifts his glass into the air.

Mario: I know we are here to celebrate Splatsquad and their accomplishments, but I'd like to take a moment to congratulate not just Splatsquad, but Meggy herself: The flying Phoenix girl!

SMG4: Now that's a name I wouldn't have ever come up with myself.

Douglas: Did you just make that up now, Mario?

Mario: Uh...Yeah?

Meggy: It's a good name, Red.

Mario: I thought so.

He holds out a hand to her and she takes it, standing up with him.
Mario then sets down his glass and picks up a remote and projects the screenshot of the image taken from Sprocket's view. Meggy blushed a bit and tried to look away. She admired Mario for all his help and how he tried to make her happier than she already was, but to see herself on an image, it almost made her slightly uncomfortable. She looked towards the picture again and really saw it in all its glory. She was in the air, with her weapon in one hand, her other arm extended behind her like she was an acrobatic finishing her greatest stunt. The sun was positioned perfectly behind her, displaying two rays of sun on either side of her, making it look like she had wings of light and fire. Her hair flowed behind her, giving off a sense of almost beauty and gracefulness. Meggy then looked to the eyes of the picture and saw only determination in them. She felt proud to be the champion.

Mario: Now...This is the one where it may get a little iffy, but without Sprocket, we wouldn't have been able to catch this amazing picture. She may have been a drag, and a lot more than that...but it is her who gave us this image. So...a toast to Sprocket, for capturing the center image of FinalFest!

No one gave cheers, but instead, they raised their glasses to the sky. At least they followed through.

Meggy: I may not like Sprocket or her team of misfits, but Mario is right. Without them, I would have never been through all my experiences, all of my ups and downs, and all my friends new and old.

She then looked over to an empty seat next to Melony. It was where Axol should've been.

Meggy: And...A toast to our fallen friends: Destiny, and Axol.

Everyone didn't say a word as they raised their glasses and nodded. Melony let a tear trickle down her cheek.

Melony: Thanks, Meggy.

Meggy: Anytime, Melony. You need anything, and I mean-

The doors to their room opens up and everyone goes silent. They were walking, but they had cuts, scrapes, and bruises all over them. It looked like they had been through a war.
But even though the person looked like this, he never stopped smiling, which lightened the room. Melony stood slowly and stared at the guest. It was Axol.

Axol: Hey guys...What did I miss?...
