THE ENDGAME MEME!

[wonderful_mods]

STEP 1: Read the Spoiler Post for details on what was really going on in this game.
STEP 2: ►► FAST FORWARD!!! ►►
STEP 3: NOW IT'S ENDGAME. Zecora became the new Composer, and with the help of her Producer, Neku, the UG now exists as a Nexus instead of a Jamjar. Many of your erased comrades have been restored, as well.
STEP 4: Post, describing what your characters are up to! Did your Players come back to life, or choose to stay in the UG? Did your Reapers stay on board and get sweet new Cantus forms? ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. (Also you can pick whatever worlds you want for the setting to be in - the Game still can move around, even if it is a Nexus!)

[Oh, Ryoji can tell that is not a nice smile, and he's already tensing up, prepared to fight... though he's not sure if he has Thanatos any longer or if he'll have to try to use pins.]

Shame that I'm not interested in seeing it. You can show it to someone who cares. Or don't. Honestly, I'd prefer it if you backed off entirely.

[vexed_snake]

Since when have I ever worried about what you preferred?

[Uh-oh, he's drawn his deck, and knowing him, that's probably a sign he's about to show that form off anyways.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Since you know that I could destroy you if I preferred to.

[Then he can show off. Ryoji will stop him. He has to.]

[vexed_snake]

Maybe you could before...Henshin.

[And he'll transform, and for a brief moment, he'll look like normal Ouja, but then that changes, along with more impressive Reaper wings.]

But now? We'll see who has the last laugh.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji grits his teeth and transforms into Thanatos right away, voice echoing from inside the skeletal helmet as he points his sword at Asakura.]

We will see. No matter what, I won't let you hurt anyone with that power.

[vexed_snake]

But that's my job, isn't it? Erasing people.

[He's casually rolling his head around, loosening up for the fight to come...because he's pretty sure that's what's about to happen.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Not any longer! The Game is over. There won't be any more Erasures by your hand.

[And he charges forward, blade at the ready, aiming to slice at Asakura's legs.]

[vexed_snake]

[And Asakura quickly goes airborne in order to dodge that. Reaper wings: they're awesome.]

I never said I was still in this for the Game, did I?

[Patrolling the afterlife hassling people who should be dead? Sure, why not?]

And I'm hurt...you didn't ask about my pets.

[INCOMING. Asakura's not the only one who got a Cantus-level upgrade, it seems.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Then what are you in for? To torture innocent people?

[Shoot. Ryoji's so busy yelling at him that he doesn't notice the monster until it's rammed into him. He shoves it off eventually, moving off to a safe distance, before sending out a Megidola. Hopefully an explosion will level the playing field, or at least provide a distraction while Ryoji catches his breath.]

[vexed_snake]

I've got to say I like the sound of that...

[The explosion provides the distraction Ryoji needs, and it throws Asakura back, although his monster doesn't seem nearly as bothered. Still, it doesn't seem too willing to move around on its own. Asakura is the weak point, and it's waiting on its master's instructions.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[After Asakura is thrown back, Thanatos charges forward, attempting to knock a blow into Asakura’s stomach with the handle of his sword. Despite everything, he isn’t attempting to kill Asakura. Injuring him would be enough… even if Ryoji will then need to find a way to stop Asakura from tormenting others afterwards.]

[vexed_snake]

[The blow connects, and Asakura's still struggling to get back to his feet. His monster is now charging at Ryoji in an attempt to save its boss.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Thanatos is hit by the monster, but he isn’t harmed too badly. It does give Asakura a few moments to recover, however, as Thanatos shrugs the creature off and steadies.]

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura staggers to his feet. He's too stubborn and too mean to know when he should just call it quits. He's running at Ryoji again, sword held out like he's going to strike. At least his monster appears to have been thrown off-balance.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Thanatos tenses, lifting his own sword to block any incoming strikes, while keeping a close eye on the monster. It does appear to be disoriented, but Ryoji can't take any chances. If he lets his guard down, he won't be able to stop Asakura.]

[vexed_snake]

[Abruptly, Asakura jumps into the air. He's trying to come down on Thanatos in a flying kick. He's mustering the last of his strength to do this. The monster's trying to make sure Thanatos doesn't move out of the way, but if Thanatos is fast enough, he just might be able to block Asakura's attack with the monster itself.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[And that’s just what Thanatos does, swinging the beast around so Asakura attacks it instead of himself. The move leaves him feeling a little exhausted as well, but perhaps this will take out the monster and leave Asakura weakened.]

[vexed_snake]

[The monster decides it would like a nice nap now, and it falls to the ground. Asakura's swaying on his feet, looking like he's about ready to do the same.]

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji reverts back to a human form, but he keeps holding Thanatos’ sword, just in case Asakura makes one last desperate attack.]

Come on, you know you can’t win. You should just give up and stop trying to hurt people here.

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura looks like he's about ready to limp away and lick his wounds.]

I'll keep hurting people as long as I can. They vex me.

[So are you, Ryoji, only he can't do much about that right now.]

[notsogrimreaper]

I think you vex them more. Especially considering how much of a jerk you are.

...Please. Don’t do this. I don’t want to finish you off, but I can’t stay here to keep you in line forever.

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura laughs. It is not an entirely sane laugh.]

You wouldn't. You don't have it in you.

[He doesn't sound scared in the least.]

[notsogrimreaper]

You don’t know what I’m capable of.

[But what he’s capable of is not the same as what he wants to do.]

[vexed_snake]

Show me, then.

[There isn't a trace of fear on Asakura. If anything, he's enjoying the taunting.]

[notsogrimreaper]

...You’re scum.

[The insult slips out as Ryoji desperately searches for an excuse not to kill. He knows he can’t do it… He knows Asakura knows too. But if he lets him go, he’ll never stop attacking others.]
