Ultimate Hero (Chiaki Nanami) *COMPLETED*

Chapter 25 - Future

Eyes trembling as he witnessed the countless lives that were still being lost, it felt like it was never ending with all the damage Junko had done. Right now, he was standing in front of the deceased body of Chisa Yukizome, seeing her expression as calm as could be. Would she be proud? He wasn't entirely sure about that, in the years of being separated from his former teacher, here he was. Holding the hand of his former Super High School Level Gamer partner, unsure if everything that had gone on was worth it.

"I've worked out what's important, you were right." 

Pink eyes glanced over at the boy, now with dyed red hair instead of blue, she felt the grip of his hand tighten on her own. 

"Talent wasn't what I needed to look for, it wasn't important to begin with. Those were just titles thrown at us. Still." Ollie opened his eyes as he grinned slightly, "We were able to bring everyone back. Even after that fight I had with Junko Enoshima, I've realized that it's my turn to protect everyone. No matter what the result is, I will never let her down again."

Looking down at the hair clip that the girl who meant the world to him always wore, he turned slightly to place it in her hair, gently placing a kiss on her forehead. The start of a new hope, a new future.

"It must be the 77th class..." Byakuya whispered as he turned towards Asahina who was sitting on the floor.

"What?" Asahina asked.

"They came to our aid when we were trapped underneath the rubble at Foundation headquarters." Byakuya explain, "And evidently, Oliver Izumi is leading them. Seems he single handedly restored our former upperclassman to the side of hope." 

Imposter dashed through a wave of soldiers, fighting them off as they came to the aid of Munakata.

"You mock me remnant." Munakata growled, "What is the meaning of this?"

Without flinching in surprise that he was able to recognize him through their disguise, Imposter simply answered without turning towards the swordsman, "Overdue atonement." 

Appearing out of seemingly nowhere, Peko dashed forward and slashed through an enemy, no emotion on her face as she lowered her guard, turning as she heard a familiar voice.

"You know, I gotta say." There was Fuyuhiko, walking towards her as he flashed a small smile. His right eye had a large slash through it, but he didn't pay it any mind. "Bamboo suits you better than a real sword."

"Yes, I've noticed." Peko said with a small smile.

"With a seal upon my true name is broken, the rising sun will squeeze the multiverse to ash. Prepare thyself!" Lifting his hand up into the air, lightning seemingly struck Gundham's hand, "It shall be the last thing you hear! The dread hour is upon us, FOR MY NAME IS TANAKA GUNDHAM!!!!" He yelled as lightning struck down as his voice echoed, "Shiver and sleep." He commented as he held his hands out to reveal his Dark Devas of Destruction. 

Clashing with a robot, Nekomaru growled as he began to crush the robots head in his hands. He heard footsteps approach him, turning slightly to see another robot approaching him, "What the-"

"And...Minimaru troops, go!" Kazuichi called out as he used a control panel to send a ton of mini robots that were resembling Nekomaru onto the robot that was sneaking up on his friend. Watching them explode, he smiled in victory, "Was that cool? Or was the cool?" His cheeks turned red as he turned towards his crush, "Did you see- dang it Sonia...you're supposed to watch."
