All ends well now.
THE END.

Why this song? This story has a lot of focus on DUST's evolution as a character. With the whole time rewind, Theodore's theme is now 'I'm Here - Revisited', same goes for DUST. Yeah this song used for credits I'll call it 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Revisited.'
😈🤖
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
Oh yeah. I almost forgot.
ROLL THE CREDITS!

'The look on her face when she saw those shadows...HAH! Yeah, run away as long as you can, coward! You won't escape ME! I made sure of it! Word of advice. WATCH YOUR BACK, YOUR HIGHNESS! Why? YOU GOTTA! I ALWAYS come back! Regards, Theodore Hedgeworth, your WORST nightmare. 😉'
Unlike any normal dream or nightmare, you usually forget it. This one...HOHO! Theodore made sure the #RaptureQueen ALWAYS remembers it.
So to put it simply, Theodore basically gave the Queen PERMANENT PTSD.
Your Highness, watch your back from now on! And I MEAN IT!
😈👑
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
Dark Theodore vs. The Rapture Queen. The fight, the nightmare she will NEVER forget!
Those shadow figures, that voice. It's Theodore. Specifically, manifestations created by the #RaptureQueen 's memory of him. He beat her so hard, tore her to bits so aggressively, she remembers that fight like it was LITERALLY moments ago.
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
So when the time cycle was wound back, all the events of Goddess Fall remained the same as we all know it. Except for the aftermath, when the #RaptueQueen ran away like the coward she is. And when she thought she was safe, the NIGHTMARE kicks in.
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
When Theodore wound back time, be made sure all who they encountered will forget about him & DUST. Especially Theodore, this otherworldly guest.
All except for ONE individual: the #RaptureQueen.
The beating he gave her was so bad, he made sure she'll NEVER forget it.
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
Screen suddenly goes black.
EYE FOR HER EYE: TRUE END
How did we get to this horrifying moment? Time for me to explain.
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
'I told you. This ain't the LAST you see of me...FREAK! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!' The voices. They're getting too loud. Too demonic! The shadows laugh maniacally The Queen looks with horror. She's living a NIGHTMARE, one that shall follow her around... FOREVER.... HE made sure of it.... when that faithful time cycle... WAS RESTARTED.
The shadows multiply. Large, unrealistic grins formed on their faces. 'I told you. This ain't the LAST you see of me,...FREAK!'
They begin to laugh. Maniacally! The #RapturQueen can't hold it anymore. She's living a NIGHTMARE! One which will follow her...
FOREVER.
👑✨
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
'Did you REALLY think you'd forget about ME?' Those shadows... That voice... All seemed WAAAY too familiar...
Out of nowhere, dark shadows of a young man horns started surrounding her. 'Did you REALLY think you'd forget about me?' they asked, as the #RaptureQueen looked with fear. Those silhouettes...that voice...
They felt so familiar...
👑✨
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
Suddenly, she stops in her tracks. Blurry visions appear in her head. Something feels....OFF.
Suddenly, she stops in her track. Strange visions, very blurry run through her head. Her expression changes from happy, to...scared. Cold sweat runs down her face. Something felt...off. REALLY OFF. She did not understand what was going on.
👑✨
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
The Queen managed to successfully run away. Taking a walk on a field, smiling as she savors her victory.
And thus, here is where it all would end. BUT WAIT. There's more!
Scenery is now changed to a field. Set after Goddess Fall. The #RaptureQueen walks proundly after escaping like a coward. Savoring her sweet, sweet victory. Everything was going her way....
👑✨
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
'Goodbye, Dustin Hedgeworth...' he said quietly. Seems like Theodore wasn't the only one who said goodbye to his past.
Camera pans towards the sunset, as the screen once again fades to black.
EYE FOR MY EYE: END
DUST's epilogue ends here.

#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
He remembered the gift Theodore gave him. He took out the sunglasses from his pocket. He looked at his reflection, saw his old look from 100 years ago, smiling. DUST closed his eyes, smiled, put his sunglasses on his head, turned & walked back to the others.
🤖⚡
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
#Cinderella was impressed. The sun was setting. DUST said it was a good training. They'll definitely train more on the road. #OldTales welcomed him as commander, & went to relax. #Mori followed. He stayed there, watching the sun slowly fade in the horizon.
🤖⚡
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
DUST: 'Are you alright, Mori?' Mori: 'I'm fine...just a little exhausted. Wow. You were amazing.' DUST: 'And so were you. Great work.' Mori: 'Thank you.' Cinderella: 'How? How could we lose like this? Such an unbeautiful outcome. Plus, it did not seem fair of you to transform.' Siren: 'Aaaaah..' Grave: 'We had you cornered. You had no way out of this. How did you do it?' DUST: 'It's simple. Strike when the opportunity presents itself. You are indeed strong, and you thought that you'll easily defeat me. But, you made ONE fatal mistake: you let your guard down.' Cinderella: 'What? Someone as beautiful as me could never.' DUST: 'Yet you did, Cinderella. It's a mistake I made as well when I fought Theodore for the first time.' Siren: 'Ooooh?' DUST: 'I also thought I won the fight, but Theodore was steps ahead. He emerged from the rubble and defeated me, when I turned my back to him, thinking I had won. It all felt the same now's Grave: 'I see. So you took that fight as a lesson.' DUST: 'Exactly. And I made sure to not repeat that same mistake again.'
DUST passed his trial, #Mori her training. #OldTales were upset. Especially #Cinderella & #Siren. #Grave was calm. DUST explained that they let their guard down when they thought they'd won. A mistake he made when fighting Theodore for the first time. A good lesson.
🤖⚡
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
Switching between his normal & rapture forms, DUST alongside #Mori, has defeated #OldTales with ease. The fight ended with him stopping his punch inches away from #Cinderella 's forehead. He then BOOPED her, & she fell on her knees from exhaustion. He won!
🤖⚡
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
DUST: 'Oh no you don't...I won't fall for the SAME mistake again!!' 'Alright, Old Tales. GLOVES OFF!'
Suddenly, red lightning flashed. The rubble scattered high in the air. And out emerged DUST, all charged up. #OldTales were left in shock. 'Nicely played. But this fight has only just begun. Alright, Old Tales. GLOVES OFF!' It was time to fight! FOR REAL THIS TIME!
🤖😉
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
The beautiful Goddess of Victory & their Fairy Godmother stand proudly, as the newest heretic falls. He FAILED their trial... ...or DID he?
DUST easily dashed through their attacks. Seems like he had the upper hand, UNTIL #Cinderella surprised him with a laser volley from Glass Slippers. He was knocked hard to the ground. #OldTales proudly stand with their backs turned to the crater. A beautiful victory.

DUST's epilogue Boss Fight Old Takes (Cinderella, Little Mermaid & Grave)
All was going smoothly, until #Cinderella, #Siren & #Grave stepped in. They told DUST that if he truly wants to join them & consider him their commander, he MUST pass their trail. 'Consider this your initiation.' #Grave said. #Mori backs him up.
ENCOUNTER!

'Sayonara, Theodore Hedgeworth...' he said quietly.
Camera pans up to the Moon, as the screen once again fades to black.
EYE FOR MY EYE: END
Theodore's epilogue ends here.
😈🔥
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
As the wind started blowing, Theodore remembered he had something in his pocket. This time, a photo of his old look, sitting on his motorcycle. He closed his eyes, smiled, turned around and walked away, letting the photo burn slowly, carried by the calm breeze.
😈🔥
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
'Then keep going. Good luck.' past Theodore said as he turned into flames, fading away in the night sky. This fight was a metaphorical way of Theodore saying goodbye to his past, closing a chapter in his story, & starting a new one. #Cinderella would be proud. ❤️
😈🔥
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
The surroundings shattered like glass, as the arena faded, returning to the passageway. Theodore told his past self that he now knows the path he must go now. Becoming a time lord & protecting his alternative universes, like his ancestor did. That's who he's become.
😈⛓️
#HedgePaint #NIKKE #OC #art
Swords clash in the infernal arena Theodore once created. It was time to end this. Both Theodores gathered their strength, and dashed towards each other. But in the end, the current Theodore became victorious, slashing his past self, leaving a fire cut on his chest.

Theodore's weapons separated Two greatswords called Angel & Devil When connected together they form the twin blade Unison Segment part of Theodore's 4.0 look
As the fight was over, past Theodore let out a chuckle, as everything changed around. A purplish void-like purgatory, with chains holding onto floating rocks. This is where the REAL fight started. Theodore had no choice but to detach his weapons for the FIRST TIME!

Theodore Hedgeworth 3.0 look. Drawn in 2023. Theodore's epilogue Boss Fight
It was him. Or rather the him from the past (his older look).
Sporting a punk jacket, one horn on the right, and his hair loose. The Theodores talked about what the future awaits for him, & so, they decided to get it on! A duel, that started like a KOF fight. 1v1!
