...When everyone finally open their eyes, they are greeted by a stunning scenery. Although none of you are exactly sure what happened. Did you beat the Red Manten once and for all? Is it still alive? Why are you here? How do you get out?
"Don´t worry... It´s all... Over..."
A tired, weak voice is heard behind you. The ones who care, turn around to face Mari, who looks absolutely exhausted, despite plastering on a smile.
"We... really did it... The red, malicious energy of Red Manten... Is no more..."
"Soon... I will disappear once and for all too... And once that happens... The Red Manten you were all stuck in... It will start to crumble down... It will become nothingness..."
Mari´s breath slowly starts hitching. She is fighting to keep her eyes open. Some of you notice that she is slowly getting more and more transparent.
"But... I have faith in you all... Just... stick together and... run towards the exit as fast as you all can... The barrier... It should be gone... There is... no energy to keep Red Manten going once I perish..."
Mari pauses a little to regain her breath. Even so, she smiles.
"Guess... I never managed to reach heaven... I became one with the aquarium... So... I am actually just a disappearing energy source by now... I... have none left to send myself to heaven..."
"Even so... I know this is for the best... No one will ever suffer... in that kind of place any more... And I won´t exist anymore... But... Please do not forget me... Alright..?"
Mari´s form flickers. You clearly see whatever energy is left of her is seeping away.
"*Sigh* I am so tired... Those who helped me... Those... Who saved me... Thank.. you..."
You all see Mari vanish in the end. She turns into light blue mist, which you all see disappear into the azure skies above. This is it. This is the end of Mari.
...But it is not over for you...
(You all know what time it is: Soundtrack)
The next thing you know, you all land in the aquarium hallways, which are about to be destroyed. A semi powerful earthquake is shaking everything up and makes navigation hard for you.
Even so, as the rest of the aquarium turns into nothingness, (mostly)everyone teamworks to get to the Aquarium Entrance. You all manage to reach that place, get through the space where the barrier used to be and...
...and everything goes black in your vision. But you are still awake and running.
...Until you are able to understand where you all are once again... Home.
You all made it. You survived the horrors, got safely out and stopped the Red Manten once and for all...
The Red Manten will never come back now. And neither will Mari...
But perhaps... Somewhere in the real and safe Manten Aquarium... Mari will always be there... Watching you all maybe?
....
The moon... It´s quite beautiful... Is it not...?
