9 AM
(THE END AND THE BEGINNING)

[Once the flash and crash has died down, there is the shouts of the passengers, and the clamor of confusion and fear.]

Is everyone all right??

[A male voice starts speaking. Akira and Kei will recognize it as the man from Investigation Point G.]

Everyone, calm down! We're...I think we're safe, I-

[Laughter. A scream. Muffled words.]

Wait-the other passengers!

[Anyone outside of the cockpits - and near dead bodies - will find the passengers all in random piles. And slowly waking up. They still have the faintest of injuries on them, they seem very confused and frightened...but they are alive.

Somewhere near Coach's carte service, a dog suddenly gasps, as does a confused, horned young lady in Premiere class, bread smushed into her cheek.

Near that, Mercedes Harmont lets out a scream, then grabs her chin, where a faint, circular scar now sits. Somewhere behind that, a man in a clown suit pops up, looking incredibly confused.]

"-'t me make this quick. Huh. What just happened?"

[It seems impossible - and those who were injured are still pretty badly injured - but otherwise?

Everyone is alive. And Hiyori - as he lies where he is - gains a vision.

~~Just pay no mind to the shuddering near the back of the plane.~~]

[Vita will place her hands over Kokoro's shoulder and quietly say the words "Lux solis medicuri eum". Kokoro should immediately feel the wound healing, though it's not going to completely heal quite yet. Still, it should relieve pain greatly for now.]

I honestly am not sure what happened. The four of us narrowly avoided that thing and then it looked like the sky itself shattered and then there was a blinding light. When I could see again everything was back to normal and the pilots woke up.

[Kokoro winces, then gives an uneasy smile.]

That's strange. Perhaps something a Bacterian could do, but that army wouldn't be doing anything good. For now, we may rest easy, though... we must still find the rest.

Yes, we're safe now and that's the important thing. All the injured should heal up nicely too with all the witches we have here.

[Her smile widens. Here, now it's safe, she looks a lot more like a normal person than someone so serious.]

We got him good, didn't we?

We did. And I truly hope that after we all get back to our worlds that we can find a way for you to come visit Jonathan and I. I don't want to have to wait until we're far older to see you again.

That would be very nice... [She looks away.] How much do you think your future will have changed from mine?

I really wouldn't be able to say. As it is, things may well have changed a lot when Jonathan brought Yurick, Nagisa and I home with him and then married me. My only hope is the future for us is long and happy.

I hope so as well... He mentioned, when we met, the prophecy of Nostradamus. I was very young at the time, but I remember. The world doesn't end, but... I haven't seen my brother since. I think Mr. Jonathan would have been there. So I wondered if, when all of you reach that time and he returns the Vampire Killer... maybe if you can remember that and whatever made it so he never came home? I don't know if it'll do anything. Fate is fate, after all. But that hostage list, it made me think about some things.

Jonathan did mention something about that. Not by the name, but something about the world ending. He said he felt that things will go well with me by his side. He's right too. He's married a witch who isn't one to let fate come without fighting it and I've shown him that things he thought were impossible are possible. If there is a way to make sure your brother comes home, it will be done.

[Kokoro isn't sure what she expected to hear, but she hesitates, then gives a slow, relieved smile.]

Thank you. I know changing the future can't affect this me, but when I saw him on the list, I thought... I wouldn't even recognize him, i don't think. I owe the both of you a good deal already.

I think Jonathan wonders the same about his father, but more with his father recognizing him. I think it might be a bit awkward at first but once you get past that it will be like you've always been together because you're family.
