Epilogue - New beginnings
Everyone spurned on by Shelke's sacrifice directed their attacks towards the so called Reality Devourer. Once Sin had been might, as had Lavos, but now together they had become a bloated corpse clinging to what little spec of life a creature like it could have.
The oozing black pile barely held itself together as a final powerful magic blast toppled it to the ground. The few tentacles still left writhing about before it finally stopped and dropped limp on the ground.
The silence was palpable as Jihl looked around awkwardly. "What should we do ne-?" She never managed to speak as their entire world was enveloped in a bright light and everyone gathered felt themselves swept away like drifting inside a powerful current.
Once they regained consciousness and opened their eyes they found themselves back where they had originally come from. Each world fully restored like their adventure never happened. Because for everyone else that was the truth. Only the chosen few who had stood on the final battlefield knew what had once happened. Now the future was waiting for you.
"So let me see if I have understood this correctly. You two were part of a group of people that stopped a universe devouring monster from destroying the entire multiverse?"
"It's all in the report that I'm sure you've read," Jihl responded.
"And the reason why I do not remember this operation is because a..." The man flipped through the report to the proper area.
"Powerful sorcerer used her magic powers to gather time into a single point killing this creature through out time and space at the same time nullifying its destruction?"
Jihl nodded.
"That is correct."
The man behind the desk sighed. Leo Cristophe, a man who joined ODMA in much a similar situation to Jihl. Plucked from his world just as he was about to die and conscripted to their group. He was in fact one of their first success stories and why they approved of it for larger use in the first place. It was quite clear that he was having a hard time believing this though, having known about Jihl's past and her urge to...rise in the ranks.
"And you can vouch for this?" Leo turned the question towards Jensen. If it had only been Jihl then Leo would have ignored all of this out right, but to have someone to collaborate on the story. Either Jensen was working with her for some goal or they were telling the truth. Knowing Jensen the former seemed to be out of the question.
"I can," the man only said curtly, nothing more than that. There was no need for more, and his expression didn't betray anything, even if he didn't have his augmented lenses on. He only stood there like a statue, indeed more like an additional voice to confirm Jihl's report than an actual presence.
Leo nodded, finally looking like he was starting to believe them.
"A brilliant performance then, to both of you. I will bring this to command, I'm sure they are interested to know about this."
"I suppose, we were only doing our duty, weren't we Jensen?"
"Right. All within standard operating procedure. I'm sure the brass will take interest in it, at least for an afternoon read," Jensen said wryly, almost in a lightly distasteful manner toward those he was alluding toward, but his words, just like his obscured eyes, betrayed nothing.
Leo looked at both of them his serious scowl not leaving his face despite trusting the story.
"Well both of you are dismissed. Once again, good job, both of you."
Some firm handshakes later Jihl and Jensen were walking down the hallway of ODMA HQ.
"If people aren't starting to take notice after this then I'm not quite sure what I will have to do."
"You could call in for an early retirement. Job's getting too dirty, at this rate. You never know, I hear Wolfgorge is a pretty low key world to settle down in," he said dryly, pocketing his hands as he walked with the woman.
"Work is the only thing I have, always been the case. The only place for me is here." She gave Jensen a coy smirk.
"Well perhaps my first step as I climb the ladder would be to get a new operative, you seem to be someone good to have in a fight."
"It's just my job. I was built like that, after all," Adam said idly.
"I'm sure we can discuss the details in private, for now I need to get back to my post. Be seeing you, Agent Jensen."
"Same to you, Agent Nabaat." Both went their separate ways down the hallway, but this was not the end for either of them.
It was only the beginning.
