Forgotten World: The Promise We Made That Day

Epilogue

It has been a year since the defeat of Nathan Daniels. The world is starting to return to normal. The first thing humanity did was dedicate a large wall within each country, filled with the names of those whose lives were taken from the virus and the Uncontrolled. It is done in order to mourn the loss of loved ones and give some sense of closure after all that has happened over the years. The Anti uncontrolled Army had changed command with a new leader at the helm. "Alright, everyone. I want you all to go on patrol. Make sure any Uncontrolled Remnants are wiped out." Tetsuo Hanesaka sat at his desk in the Japan office of the new Unified Alliance. A reformed and newly designed organization with the sole purpose of cleaning the world of whatever Uncontrolled remained and retaking the world by reclaiming lost countries. This way, humans could slowly begin to repopulate the Earth. The smog was still around, but not nearly as much as it once was.

Charlotte enters Tetsuo's office, letting out a soft giggle as she watches him work through a bunch of paperwork. "There's my hardworking man." She kisses his cheek and places a boxed lunch on his desk. Tetsuo, obviously flustered, rubs his head an blushes. "Ehehehe.. Thank you, dear. I appreciate it." The two kiss as she heads towards the door. Before exiting, she glances back at him. "Don't overwork yourself, okay? I understand you're the new leader and in a way... you're like Japan's Prime Minister. You're a very important person. However.... don't do so much that you fall ill. I love you, sweetheart." She waves before leaving the room. He could let out a sigh as he chuckles. "Heh.. That wife of mine... always the worrywart." He then psyches himself up and starts moving through his paperwork. "Let's get this done quickly so I can eat!"

"So.. This is what you spend your time doing now? Never thought of you as an artist." Alfred says while approaching Renee. She was sitting upon a balcony within her new home, painting the beautiful outdoor scenery. She look at him and smiles. "Just like I never expected you to be a bird watcher. Looks like we both have our retirement hobbies." Renee places her paintbrush down and faces Alfred, who was using a cane to support him. "I heard the wedding was amazing. She must be very happy, huh?" Alfred gives a nod and smiles. "Ah, yes indeed. Charlotte's bridal dress was stunning and I was proud to give her away to my new son-in-law. Tetsuo is a good man and I trust that he'll take good care of my daughter. I'm sure you're really proud too. Madison and Yato's wedding wasn't that long ago either, right?"

She gives him a nod in return. "One month ago, to be exact. I'm sure her father would be proud of her as well. Those two are such a happy couple and their baby is adorable." Renee takes out her phone and shows Alfred a picture of the two of them with Madison holding their baby boy. "Oh, would you look at that! He's the spitting image of my mother!" He chuckles while smiling brightly. "Good for them." She nods and looks at the photo again. "Yeah, they're living peacefully and it means a lot to me. Madison has worked so hard and she deserves a life like this." In New York, the bustling city was rebuilt and humans had begun living in the city once again. Madison and Yato were in their home, taking care of their child and living a happy life with each other. "Honey, could you pass me the bottle? He's hungry." Madison asks as Yato quickly grabs it and passes it to her. She then begins to feed the baby, who had finally calmed down after a fit of crying.

"Well.. we calmed him down." Yato lets out a sigh of relief. "Ehe.. Yeah. Raising a baby isn't the easiest task in the world. I thought fighting Uncontrolled and the hybrids were a difficult task, but this is an entirely new challenge." Renee says while slowly rocking the baby. Yato walks over to her and puts his arm around her. "Indeed it is, but as long as we work together, we'll do just fine with him. He's our little pride and joy, after all." He laughs softly and kisses her cheek. "I love you, Madison." She blushes and smiles sweetly at him. "I love you too, Yato." The two continue to watch over their little one.

In Russia, Brynhild did whatever he could to retake the rest of his country and bring peace to Russia. Using his many soldiers, he sent them out to defeat as many Uncontrolled as they could find and also assisted within other countries in Europe to reclaim their lands and building them into places people could live in once again. "Gyahahahaha!!! I'm Brynhild the Brave! Let all Uncontrolled who stand before me be crushed underfoot!" He unleashes a bunch of explosives destroying entire nests of Uncontrolled, allowing yet another city to be wiped clean of the monstrous threat. The once called Soviet Stronghold were doing all they could to clean up the areas and make them hospitable. He and his crew played an integral part of the Uncontrolled cleanup process.

"Hya!!" A sword slices through an Uncontrolled with ease. Another weapon pierces the hardened skin effortlessly. Many more get swept in a crimson cyclone, killing the remaining Uncontrolled within the area. The nest is then sliced into pieces by a powerful claw weapon. "Mom! Dad! Did I do good?" Mell, who was now dressed in more regular looking clothing, runs over to Taku and Mizuki. Taku wipes the sweat from his brow and smiles as he pets Mell's head. "Of course you did, kiddo. You're an amazing helper." He says with a smile as Mizuki fixes his shirt and hair. "Just don't get your clothes too dirty, okay?" Mizuki had a look of worry on her face. The type of worry only a mother could have. Tarou sighs and scratches his head. "Mizuki, would ya just let the kid do what he wants? If he wants to go wild on the Uncontrolled, then let im'." Mizuki makes an angry face at Tarou, giving him a death stare. "And let my little boy turn into a tyrant like you? No. Way." Tarou, clearly defeated in this situation, backs off. "Fine, fine! Geez.. I hate when she gets all scary like that.." Tarou rests his sword on his shoulder and Shinku gives his arm a light jab. "Relax. If she wants to keeo her kid tidy, then let her."

"Oh, who even asked you! Let's just get a move on, guys. We still have a lot more Uncontrolled to take care of before we can take back Canada." He and Shnku start to walk ahead. The four hybrids aongside Shinku have been spending the year helping the Unified Alliance reclaim the world by destroying Uncontrolled nests and killing any remaining Uncontrolled. Just like Brynhild, they would work alongside the soldiers and help with any combat situations that arise. Mizuki takes Mell's hand as they approach Taku. "Shall we?" Mizuki smiles while looking at him. Mell holds his hand and gives a gentle pull. "Come on, Dad! Uncle Tarou and Mr. Shinku will leave us behind!" Taku then smiles and nods as he grasps Mell's hand. "Hehe, alright. Let's get a move on."

The three walk hand in hand as they catch up with the two, making their way through the vast lands of the once forgotten world. Though peace has not fully returned and some monsters still remain, humanity will continue to push forward and do their best to return the lives they once knew. Maybe the hybrids can even find some peace of their own once all of it is truly over. However... It won't be long now. If they work hard, surely their dreams will come true. For now, this chapter of their book closes. Let us all hope that we can come together in harmony and live in peace.
