AEHU/Plot/Plot Sketch Chapter 44

Ending Credits

In the Darkness Beyond Time, Schala feels overwhelmed by a desire to destroy everything again. As this desire consumes her waking consciousness, she births baby Kid from her dreams or something and gives her the Pendant, tasking her with helping in whatever effort will arise to destroy her before gating her out of the DBT.

In 2400AG, Robo informs Belthasar that despite all the hangups in the plan so far, Chronopolis' various spacetime meters detect the creation of Kid. With FATE still unstable, Belthasar gives the go-ahead for the Time Crash as Central Regime soldiers break into Chronopolis.

In 606AG, Guardia's Chancellor announces the arrival of King Guardia XXII and the Queen Mother, and conducts Wittel's coronation. Brione, now rescued from Raqh's cult, is present.

In 1005AG, Human Glenn gates into Guardia Forest and drags an unconscious Magus toward Castle Guardia, where King Crono and Queen Nadia call for medical attention. His current appearance unknown to his fellow Heroes of Time, Glenn catches up on events and discovers that Porre has developed slightly differently than it did in Crimson Echoes, though it presents no less of a threat. Hearing tale of a land mass called El Nido from a Lucca cradling baby Kid, Glenn decides to investigate. On his way out, he encounters the CT:DS Eclipse Magus wandering through Guardia Forest complaining about lost memories. Glenn shadows him out of Guardia forest.

Also in 1005AG, Dalton waits alone in a forest armed with Levantine until figures from another timeline begin to gate in; Dalton dispatches them (...or does he make a deal with them?).

In 12,000BG, Derben arrives in the Last Village bearing the plant he was asked to save during the Fall of Zeal and he deposits it with the woman who inherited the plant, each surprised that the other miraculously survived. The woman shares with Derben her dream of being reborn in a forest-covered world, and Derben is reminded of Demeria's love of spring. The plant woman seems disappointed that Derben still clings to the memory of someone who has disappeared from his life, but is appreciative of Derben's offer to help plant the sapling once the world thaws.

If Artemis survived, she and Raqh gate into Last Village sometime later. The Earthbound Elder indicates that this is post-Crimson Echoes. The sapling has been planted.
