A Game Worth Dying For Chapter 59: GAME OVER, a rwby fanfic

It's OK, Omega is here! Welcome to the epilogue of A Game Worth Dying For! More at the bottom.

One month has passed since Salem's death and the extermination of all Grimm.

After Dice and I met up with all of our friends, we returned to Vale. Ozpin went about making announcements and informing the populace the big news; the news that they no longer had to fear the Grimm attacking their homes. Suffice to say, the celebrations lasted a good long while. My friends and I are all treated as heroes by pretty much the entire world!

Blake and the other faunus that I know were particularly happy about that fact, since it's well known they helped bring down the evil plaguing Remnant. It was a huge step for the faunus as a species and brought them ever so close to achieving the equality they want so badly.

Velvet and I bailed on the festivities about two days in, so that we could go visit Sienna. The tiger faunus was overjoyed to hear we were both safe, sound, and had kicked major ass. Sienna herself, had been unable to come with us to Partída, since she needed to run the White Fang. If she had gone with us to stop Salem and ended up getting injured enough that she needed to stay with me for a few days, the White Fang would probably riot.

Nevertheless, the three of us had a little celebration of our own that, thanks to my Stamina Potions, lasted quite a while. Let it be known that the old stereotype of 'It's always the quite ones' is very accurate when describing Velvet. Quite an imagination in that rabbit.

Moving on, Partída. Efforts are being made to turn the once desolate land into a new area for humanity to thrive without the threat of the Grimm. There are, of course, a myriad of options to build now that the Grimm are gone, but a majority of people wanted to use Partída. The main reason being that Salem would be rolling in her metaphorical grave if her domain were to be used by humans. Multiple buildings and settlements have been made over the past month and people are starting to migrate to the new land.

We even managed to remodel Salem's Castle into a headquarters of sorts. People would be able to come to the castle to find a place to stay, ask for materials for buildings, or ask for work. But, currently, the very top of the castle, where Salem's Throne Room used to reside, is being used for a very special purpose.

That purpose being the reception for my little sister, Alice, and her bride, Winter.

It was a very nice wedding, if I do say so myself! I had been in charge of setting up both the altar as well as the throne room for the reception. Well, Dice and I had; he planned everything and I did the work.

Winter's maid of honor was obviously Weiss, with the other bridemaids being Ruby, Blake, and Pyrrha, in that order. My sister's maid of honor was. . . Me. Had to go into my 'She-an' form and get fitted for a dress. I was not amused! I love being in my female form for very obvious reasons, but I draw the line at wearing a dress and heels!

Anyway, Alice's bridesmaids were Raina, Velvet, and Yang, also in that order. Ozpin ended up being the one to officiate the wedding and Dice took the honor of giving Winter away in the stead of her father.

Speaking of Jackass Schnee, last I heard, he was on the brink of bankruptcy due to the Roll The Dice Dust Company taking up all of his customers. I took a bit of sadistic glee from that bit of news when I heard it.

After Alice and Winter exchanged their vows, which were both touching and slightly perverted(Alice's were anyway), Ozpin officially made them Mrs. and Mrs. Matu(A/N: I have no idea if that's how that works in the real world). The reception started not long after that, which included dancing, drinking, eating, as well as the opening of wedding gifts. I gave Winter the book series 'How to Train Your Dragon', if you were curious.

It really is a nice party. Ruby got a sugar-high off the cake that had Weiss and Penny chasing her around the room. Dante and Yang were facing off in a drinking contest, that was still going on last I checked. Susa and Nora were eating practically everything in sight, much to the jealousy of most of the other women there. Blake, Velvet, and Sienna were all discussing the future of the faunus. Jaune and Pyrrha were dancing the night away, along with Raina and her various girlfriends. Sun had found a karaoke machine and had dragged in a bunch of the others to sing with him, Auntie Glynda included!

And, above all else, Alice had the happiest smile I've ever seen on her face.

So, yeah, all in all, today has been a lot of fun.

As for me, the Great Cyan F. Matu, I've taken a break from the fesitivites; taking advantage of the balcony to watch the sunset. Just doing a little bit of reminiscing all the adventures I've been on before this point in time. And, because of that, I've come to one conclusion.

I made way too many stupid references.

I can't help but chuckle darkly at that little thought. It really is ridiculous how many references I've made over the two years I've been in Remnant. Hell, some of them weren't even necessary! Plus, there was that little stint in the beginning where I thought I needed weapons. Poor Alpha and Omega, they shall forever sit in my inventory, collecting dust(although, not really, since my inventory stops time for the objects placed inside).

"What are you doing out here?" Dice's deadpan voice breaks me out of my self-depricating thoughts.

"Eh, just thinking about the past, the present, and the future," I grin at my oldest friend as I lean on the balcony's railing.

"Oh, you're thinking?" Dice let the smallest of grins appear in his icy-mask. "My, my, don't stress yourself. Thinking isn't part of your skillset, remember? Why don't you tell me what you're thinking about and I'll do the thinking for you?"

"Sure, why not?" I grin, despite the asshole way that he says it, Dice is just joking with me. "I'm just thinking about how far I've come, how happy I am now, and what the future holds for me, and everyone else, of course."

"It has been a long journey to this point," Dice nods as he stands next to me, also observing the sunset. "A journey full of death and peril at every turn."

I flash back to all those moments where my life, and the lives of my friends were in danger. Asterius, Slenderman, Krampus, White Fang, Gilgamesh, The Anti-Spiral King, The Skull-Reaper, Tohru Adachi, Team RWBY's Demons, Cinder, the Grimm, Watts, Tyrian, Merlot, Hazel, and Salem, of course.

"But, we've managed to get this far, have we not?" Dice smirks at me, a gesture I return in full.

"Of course!" I exclaim with a grin.

"As for the future, well," Dice returns his gaze to the setting sun. "That's always a tricky question."

"Most of the threats to humanity have been dealt with in some way," I add to Dice's musings. "The White Fang have changed, Schnee has had his fortune ripped away from him, piece by piece, Salem and all her minions have been killed with the exception of Hazel, and with Salem's death, the Grimm were eliminated as well."

"But, there shall always be evil in the world, hoping to extinguish the light," Dice intones, ever the pessimist.

"That may be so, but heroes are always around, too!" I sling my arm around my best friend's shoulders. "Heroes that inspire hope, even in the darkest of days, and fight to rid the world of it's darkness."

"Yes, quite right," Dice replies after a moment of silence, a small smile gracing his lips. "Truly, an incredible journey we have been on thus far."

"I guess you could say," my grins grows mischievous and I notice Dice's eyes narrow, preparing for whatever ridiculous statement that will come out of my mouth. "That this has been A Game Worth Dying For, eh?"

Smack!

"OW!" I rub the back of my head where Dice had slapped me.

I glare at my oldest friend for a moment, before I can't hold it anymore and I burst out into cackles. Dice joins me in my laughter not long after that. We stand there, two old friends from another world, watching the sunset, while thinking about what's to come. With everything I've been through, everything my friends have been through, I come to a single conclusion about the future.

Everything's going to be just fine.

GAME OVER

PLAY AGAIN?

THANKS FOR PLAYING!

DONE! FINISHED! END OF STORY! A Game Worth Dying For has finally reached it's conclusion! What a run I've had with this, huh?

At the exact moment that I've uploaded this chapter to Fanfic, A Game Worth Dying For has a grand total of 151,570 VIEWS, 378 FAVORITES, 473 FOLLOWS, 236 REVIEWS, AND HAS BEEN A PART OF 11 COMMUNITIES! Plus, from the time of it's birth to it's end, A Game Worth Dying For has been running for: 1 year, 5 months, and 20 days with a grand total of 59 chapters(eesh, 59! Almost makes me want to make another chapter, so that I can round it up to 60)! Quite an accomplishment if I do say so myself! Now, onto some loose ends that I need to tie up!

First off, 'Is this really the end of A Game Worth Dying For?' The answer is 'YES!' I have no sequals planned whatsoever for this story! Although, I may make an Omake series for A Game Worth Dying For, but I haven't confirmed anything just yet.

Second, 'What's next?' I've actually been getting this question quite a bit for the past month or so. The answer is, while I do have a shit ton of ideas for new fanfics(closing in on two dozen in number), but, that's all they are at the moment, ideas. I've only written first chapters for about five of those ideas and they seriously need to be redone. But, unfortunately for all of my fans, I won't be uploading any new Fanfic for a very long time.

There are a few reasons why I won't be making any new Fanfics. One, I'm kinda burnt out at the moment and need to recharge. The stress of keeping up my upload schedule was kinda screwing with my writing ability and I uploaded a few chapters that could've been far better than they were. Second, real life. I love Fanfic, don't get me wrong! But, I'm not exactly good enough to make money off this and I wouldn't want to anyway(just doesn't sit right with me, to be honest). So, I need to focus on writing an original story that will get me published! Maybe once I actually get published I will return to uploading Fanfic once more. Third, high school. Kind of a combination of the first two reasons, the stress of high school makes it even harder to keep up my upload schedule and I want to write my original book before I finish, mainly so that I don't have to go to college(I lazy and don't want to go, sue me!).

Now, I'm still going to be writing chapters for my various Fanfic ideas(certain ideas will just keep bouncing around in my head until I actually write a chapter or two). But, I won't be uploading them until they've either been completed or I have like twenty reserve chapters that I can upload one at a time.

I guess that's everything I wanted to say. It's been a blast! Thank you to everyone who's favorited, followed, and reviewed my story! Thanks especially to my two buddies on this site, Ragnorak16 and Boyy2k, who help me with my ideas from time to time! Now, for the final time on A Game Worth Dying For!

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME, OK IS OUT!
