Epilogue: In the Wind


Volume Ending Theme (Re:pray by Aimer)

(Instrumental) The scene is in monochrome. A chrysalis is hanging from a branch. The chrysalis then splits, a black swallowtail with a tinge of amber orange emerges and flies away towards the shattered moon. (A/N: Every scene is in monochrome and still-frame, like Ending 29, but certain parts of a character will have color)

(Hodoukyou kaidan wa motto) Ichigo, with his hair in its trademark color, is on top of the roof of Beacon Tower, laying on his back. He looks solemn.

(Te wo furu yo saigo no senaka ni) Ruby is in a garden of roses, her red cape flowing in the wind.

(Ao ni kawaru light de toki ga ugoku) Uryuu is inside, sitting on an antique armchair with his head resting on a lightly fisted hand, his blue eyes in a book. Weiss is looking at a photo, her eyes their light blue.

(Kasa no nami nomi konda my days) Renji is in the locker room, working on his sword, his hair is in its vibrant crimson color. Rukia is sitting on a tree branch, directing her solemn deep purple eyes to the sky. Yang and Blake are underneath a tree, the former sleeping against Blake's back as she reads. Yang's hair being its natural blonde and Blake's stockings their gradient purple.

(Say a little pray for you and me mo) Tatsuki and Orihime are walking through the Beacon walkway, Tatsuki's weapons their camo green color and Orihime's hairpins their soft blue color. Orihime gazing out towards the open. Keigo and Mizuiro are sitting on a bench. Keigo, with his yellow undershirt, is leaning over Mizuiro's shoulder. Mizuiro, with his light blue headphones, is smiling at him

(Eien wo chikaenai ai wo miokurou) Jaune and Pyrrha are in the library, their only colors being their hair. Jaune is sleeping while Pyrrha looks at him fondly. Ren, in an apron, and Nora are the kitchen, the former baking pancakes and preventing the latter from stealing it. Ren's shirt is green and Nora's skirt is pink.

(Dareka no tame ni ikite yukenai) Standing in the middle of a field of red spider lilies is Masaki Kurosaki, Ichigo's mother, and Summer Rose, Ruby's mother. They are standing back-to-back. Masaki's coat and long hair and Summer's cloak flows with the gentle wind. While Masaki's hair is covering her eyes, her gentle smile is still shown. It is the same with Summer. As Summer reveals her face and eyes, the rest of colors are restored.

(Jibun wo yuruseru tsuyosa wo) Teams IURR, TAIM, and TMKK are dining at a restaurant.

(Anata ni yorisoe nakatta koto Kuyamazuni hirareru hibi wo) IURR and RWBY are strolling through the streets of Vale, smiling and laughing. Even Uryuu, who had a small smile on his face with Ichigo smiling back.

(Inori wa kumo wo hikisaki) The shots gain movement as Ichigo stops walking and looks at the sky. Ruby does the same and the rest of their teams stopped to look too. Ichigo and Ruby exchanged glances before returning to the sky, smiling.

(Kono sora ni kibou tokihanatsu) The butterfly from before is fly through the sky, accompanied by a red rose petal. While it does so, the sky also gains color.

(End Ending Theme)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Guardians of Remnant~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I keep telling you, don't underestimate Her wrath!" Forrest Tanner shouted from his cell in the Mistral Sanzashi Prison. "The end is coming! The end is nigh!"

An inmate a few cells down groaned. "Man, that guy needs to shut up."

"Perhaps there's a method to his madness." One of his two cellmates said, his voice carried a sense of sophistication. The cellmate is a red eyed, white haired man with a scar on his chin.

The first inmate scoffed. "Only you would say that."

A guard bangs at the bars, getting the inmates' attention, before unlocking the cell. "#1953, you have a visitor." The red-eyed man rises from his seat and walks to the guard. He graciously held up his wrists to the guard. The guard, used to this behavior, cuffed him and escorted him out after closing and locking back the cell door.

"Who was that, anyway?" the other cellmate asked the first inmate.

"You mean you don't know? That man was the ringleader of the Sakuya Massacre and the leader of the Bount Group: Jin Kariya."
