No arcade endings? Let's make our own!

First, a few ground rules:
While whimsical in nature, let's try and stay focused enough so that the endings are at least plausible.
Feel free to offer constructive criticism or corrections regarding continuity/canon, just be respectful.
Lastly, let's try to keep this a family-friendly topic.
I hope everyone has fun contributing and reading through what we create here!

Aeon / Lizardman

Nightmare falls before the unrelenting fury of Aeon's wrath. The voice in his head screaming "devour!" over and over again, Aeon succumbs to its wishes. Just before he can take his first bite, the voice yells: "No... Not him..." Just then, Aeon sees the Soul Edge lying a few feet away, weakened by Nightmare's defeat. "Retake what you have lost," the voice commands, "all at once!"

Aeon knows what he must do, and begins smashing the Soul Edge into shards, which he then eats in a frenzy. "Good... Good..." continues the voice, "I tired of that old husk. Now they will see what a true nightmare is!" His memories restored, but now controlled by the demonic forces the Soul Edge, Aeon felt deceived, but ultimately at peace with his new situation. "All of those who stood in my way, or called me an animal, your souls will be mine!"

His blades now possessed with the power of the Soul Edge, and given memories old and armor new, Aeon sets off to satiate their need for death.

Natsu:

After finding the Kali-yuga and its holder, Natsu learned that Taki, her master, was nearby. Searching wildly, Natsu came upon her aged master. Her weapons were cursed with the power of soul edge. She had become malfested. Natsu pleaded to her master, "Please put down your weapons so we can help!"
"Natsu..." Taki replied. She charged and Natsu with her swift movements, used the demon within her and freed Taki from the possiossion of the cursed blades.
Taki moaned and Natsu started to tear up, the one thing a ninja should not have. She helped her master up and together, they would learn to live with the curse thrusted upon Taki. Natsu knew that as time went on, Taki would become taken over and that her malfestation would get only worse, but for now, Natsu became the master.

Kilk:

17 years ago, the power of the Kali-yuga overthrew Kilk. He was traveling to India to find Maxi with Xig., but the Kail-yuga spoke to Kilk, "YOU ARE TOO WEAK FOR ME!" The evil inside of the once pure staff started to drain Kilk' s life. Xig. not knowing what to do, grabbed the Kail-yuga and she fell with the Kail-yuga landing in between Kilk and Xig. Kilk looked at the staff and knew what needed to be done.
"Xig, I must purify the Kail-Yuga... and me as well."
"Kilk what about our child!"
"Live a normal life... don't let her know that I am her true father... please."
And with that, Kilk ripped off the Darvpa Yuga and his cursed form took over as fire engulfed his body. He took up the Kail yuga and went to the place where he could finally end his pain.

Viola:

Her memories were gone. Her soul empty, traveling with a beast, Viola had nothing. Her weapon had told her that her memories would come back after retrieving a power source. She thought of two, either soul edge or soul calibur.
Both had their perks, but those meant nothing to viola. When travelilng with ZWEI, he revealed the location of Soul calibur. Viola looked into the pure blade that spoke with an angelic voice, "You were once a demon, now allow me to purfiy your soul." Soul Calibur froze Viola making her body freeze (like ivy's ending in SCIV). Viola shed a single tear. "Why.." Then the freezing stopped and Viola's once empty heart was now filled with memories.
Her true name was Amy. Once a fencer and once a foster child to a man she had battled. He had "vexed" him with her eyes. Looking into her orb, her eyes had changed from the red of moon, to blue as water.
Her heart filled with content set out to find ZWEI, but found him lying dead, stabbed by the cursed sword.
Pleading at his side to come back to life, Viola then pledged that she would find the cursed sword and its fragments, and destroy it all. Even if it meant killing the one who held the memories in her heart.

Ivy

When Patroklos had approached Ivy for assistance with awakening Soul Calibur, she regretfully had to deceive him into getting her the sword, at which point she broke several shards of it free before giving it back to him. Without her help, and with the sword incomplete, Patroklos was destined for failure against Nightmare, but this was a necessary evil.

The dust settled, revealing Nightmare and Soul Edge have been defeated once again. Black and blue veins running all over her body, Ivy had a pained expression. "This will be the last time!" she screamed in anger, then picked up the sword, its essence unable to escape its current incarnation. "I don't think so," she said with much confidence. Ivy had spend years trying to determine a way to destroy the sword once and for all. The Soul Edge's handle sizzles and smokes in her hand.

Ivy had embedded the shards of the Soul Calibur within her before the final battle, this being the only way to prevent the evil sword's influence from escaping the very blade she now held. The shards at constant odds trying to neutralize each other within her, the sword itself falls victim to the same conflict while trying to corrupt her. By having more shards of Soul Calibur inside her, Soul Edge instinctively battles to suppress them. As long as she possesses it, its influence is benign, but this comes at a cost: her body is constantly ravaged by the battle for it raging within.

Feedback on the Ivy one

- I think that's a really interesting ending, but I think it's time she got rid of that thing since she has been trying for god knows how long. Maybe Talim can help her with that.

Mine will be done in the style of Soulcalibur 1 and 2's old endings.

Raphael
Defeating Soul Edge had not brought him any closer to finding his beloved daughter, but Raphael sensed something strange about this new Nightmare. Standing over his lifeless body, Raphael removed the helmet of the Azure Knight. At that moment, his curiosity turned into absolute terror as the horrible truth dawned on him.

The host Soul Edge had chosen during the 17-year grace period had been none other than himself. Raphael was now nothing more than a spectre, tethered to this world by forces unknown. Suddenly, Soul Edge began to glow. Realizing what he was, Raphael could do nothing but scream Amy's name as his soul was sucked into the sword. Nightmare's eyes then re-opened, and as he stood, the sound of insane laughter echoed throughout the battlefield.

Cervantes
After being enslaved by Soul Edge 20 years ago, Cervantes cursed himself, and swore that nothing would ever hold power over him again. He participated in the current war mainly for profit as he did before his possession, but he also desired to test his own strength in this new body, the same body he had before being possessed by Soul Edge, now restored by Astral Chaos.

After defeating Nightmare, Cervantes gazed slowly at the evil sword. He could feel its power trying to corrupt him once more. With conviction in his soul, he roared: "Your power is nothing compared to mine!" Stabbing the sword's eye and destroying it forever, Cervantes became feared across the seven seas as "The Devil Stronger Than The Cursed Sword".

Elysium
The Spirit Sword, Soul Calibur, had been the natural enemy of Soul Edge. Long ago, the Hero King Algol had cast a spell on himself that sacrificed his physical existence in order to purify fragments of the cursed sword. Unbeknownst to anyone, Algol had unwittingly imbued Soul Calibur with his own ambitions, giving the sword a black-and-white sense of morality - that it must destroy any and all malfested, no matter the consequences.

Just as Soul Edge manifests as Inferno, Soul Calibur eventually gained one that came to be known as Elysium. It takes the form of whatever the wielder's desire is. With Siegfried, it chose his father Frederick, and now with Patroklos it chose his mother Sophitia. Elysium manipulated him until he realized the sword's true intentions. The true final battle now begins...

Thanks for the feedback :) Any ideas how we can implement this? Here's just a rough, quick attempt, let me know what you think! This one, like Talim's SCIV ending, will be a permanent one, and probably wouldn't be canon.

Amended / Edited

Ivy (ver. 2)

Ivy's quest to destroy the Soul Edge had been fruitless after all of her efforts. 5 years ago, she had decided to find the location of Talim, who had once come so close to destroying both the Soul Calibur and the Soul Edge after her battle with Algol. She sought balance, but was unable to achieve this goal alone. Following her narrow defeat, Talim had originally planned to train harder, waiting for the day when she would strike at the evil sword once more. Things did not go quite as planned, as she fell in love with and married Hong Yun-Seong, and was now raising their daughter.

This was when Ivy finally tracked her down. Talim was very hesitant to work with her, as she held a shard of the Soul Edge within her, but understood the partnership as a means to an end, and pledged her support: "I'm doing this to make a better world for my daughter." While still commanding strong mystical abilities, she was always somewhat timid, and refused to allow her daughter to grow up without a mother. Her aid was conditional on her not being involved in direct combat.

Now, as Ivy cuts down Nightmare, Talim springs forth from behind cover, rushing towards the Soul Edge before it can unleash its essence into the Astral Chaos. She uses all her magical strength, and in a blinding flash of light the Soul Edge is destroyed. The wind blows gently and silently across the former battlefield. Both exhausted from the day's events, Ivy and Talim sit there for what feels like an eternity, their breathing very labored. Ivy embraces Talim, as they both set off toward home. "Thank you," she says in a heartfelt tone. Ivy smiles, the shard had vanished from within her at long last.

Alpha Patroklos: Returning to Instanbul after completing his mission he had to locate his former master. It took days to finally find her and when he approached her he feel to his knees and said,"I can never replace you, I'm sorry that the creators of SCV had made me try to" Setsuka responded,"Hurrrrrr!"

Vulcan, I love your Raphael and Elysium endings. I think they're the best in the topic so far.

Perfect. Who did she fall in love with though?

Dampierre's brother (joking)...

How about Hong Yun-Seong? I went back and edited the story to include this.

Speaking of Dampierre....

Lord Geo Dampierre

While acting confident and unsurprised by his victory over Nightmare, nobody was actually more in shock than the man himself, Lord Geo Dampierre. He confronted the Soul Edge with a proposition: "Le Bello has quite a brilliant idea." The evil sword's eye met with his, interested in what a mere mortal could possibly offer it.

"There are countless people in this world who need the power you can offer. Many of them have quite deep pockets, and we can exploit this with a meeting... their last..." Dampierre continues, "you don't turn me into an abomination like that Nightmare, and I'll make sure you feast on the finest blood and souls the aristocracy has to offer. Not just anyone can do what I do, you see. There's a certain... charisma... required for such delicate measures. Think of it: the greatest mind and the most menacing blade... TOGETHER! If that doesn't sound appealing, wait until you hear this: we'll even produce forgeries of the Soul Calibur, luring the brave and foolhardy straight to us. You get their souls... I get to pretend they're still alive and ransom their bodies back to their naive loved ones."

The eye blinked, as Dampierre nervously picked up the Soul Edge, unsure if he was about to lose himself. The Alchemist of the Ages, the Artistic Genius, the Miraculous Psychic... All meaningless titles compared to his newest: the man who conned the Soul Edge itself to do his bidding. The bond formed when he grasped the hilt tightly was a powerful one. Both of them knew it, and felt like two kindred spirits. Dampierre twiddled his mustache and smirked at the blade's glance. "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!"

Some more endings

Pyrrha Omega
After she had cut down Nightmare, Pyrrha, at Tira's request, grabbed Soul Edge. The sword spoke to her, telling her it would not leave her like all the others, and she pledged to devour souls for it. Unbeknownst to Tira, Soul Edge knew of her betrayal, and decided to punish her by telling Pyrrha the truth of how Tira had kidnapped her, killed her mother, and ruined her life by killing every man she ever loved. Tira, puzzled, asks her what the sword just told her.

"He told me everything... He wants souls... And the first soul he wants... IS YOURS!!!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAH!"

Pyrrha took notice of her brother Patroklos, who saw everything. She had slain their mother's murderer, but at the cost of her humanity. She would not have a chance to get it back, as her own brother stabbed her in cold blood, having shared her fate in becoming a puppet of Soul Calibur, just as she had become one to Soul Edge.

"I'm alone...again?"

Viola
Viola had finally vanquished Z.W.E.I.'s enemy, Graf Dumas, who was secretly Nightmare. But as she removed the Azure Knight's helmet, she suddenly collapsed in shock, clutching her head. Z.W.E.I. and Siegfried rushed to her aid and asked if she was alright.

"I remember...everything now."

Her real name was Amy Sorel, and the enemy of her beloved Z.W.E.I. was her adoptive father Raphael. Later that night, she told them everything, including the fact that she herself was malfested by Soul Edge. She feared that she would lose the one person she truly loved and the one place she could call a home, but to her surprise, Z.W.E.I. comforted her in his arms.

"The past is the past. It doesn't matter who you were back then. Right now, you're our Viola, and that's never going to change."

"Thank you for everything...Z.W.E.I."

Algol
Algol stood over the defeated Nightmare and Patroklos, and grabbed the hilts of both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Suddenly, a huge explosion boomed across the battlefield, enveloping Denever Castle in a swirling vortex of light and darkness. When the dust settled, the fortress had been completely changed. What was once Denever Castle was now a gigantic, spiraling tower - the Tower of Remembrance.

"At last, my resurrection is complete! I, The Hero King Algol, live once again!"

Algol was restored at the height of his power, at the point before his sacrifice. His hair and eyes became their natural color, and he felt the sensation of air brushing against his skin for the first time in ages. His long hidden followers soon returned to him, and over the course of several long years he re-established his kingdom. A new legacy had begun, and he is remembered today as a wise ruler with a strong sense of justice, who showed no mercy to those who would wish evil upon his people.

Have a nice day.

Dude, that's awesome! Are you going to do more?

All Awesome *___* Especially Viola's Ending <3

Patroklos

He kills all the malfested and then parties with all the good chars + cured pyrrha

Aeon

He eats both swords and regains human form and destroys fygul cestemus

Astaroth

He absorbs the other astaroths and smashes kunpaetku with a brick

Some more.

Leixia
Her adventure was short-lived, but it came to a successful and happy end. Leixia headed back home, accompanied by Maxi, and was suddenly caught in her mother Xianghua's loving embrace. Over the next few nights, she told her mother all about her quest, about how she met Kilik and watched as Xiba bested him in battle, inheriting the Kali-Yuga, and how she had met Patroklos and restored Soul Calibur, leaving the three treasures purified.

"Leixia, now that you've told me about your secret adventure, how about I tell you some secrets of my own?"

"Really?! There are some things you didn't tell me? I'm so excited!"

"Yes. There are some things I kept secret, to tell you when you were older. But not tonight. I'll tell you tomorrow after you've finished with your new chores as punishment for running away."

"Aw, come on!"

And so they joined in laughter for a few moments, and Leixia quietly fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Siegfried
With the help of Z.W.E.I., Siegfried finally cut down Nightmare for the last time. Exhausted from the battle, however, he could do nothing but watch the events that followed. Z.W.E.I. was seemingly killed by the malfested Pyrrha, Patroklos confronted and freed her, Soul Calibur almost consumed Patroklos, and both siblings destroyed the two swords.

"At last, it's finally over. My redemption...is fulfilled."

Denever Castle had been claimed in the name of Wolfkrone, and became Schwarzwind's new base of operations. His lifelong goal accomplished, Siegfried was at last free to pursue his own destiny. After Hilde gave birth to their child, they officially married, and he became the new King of Wolfkrone.

He remains a legendary figure on the stage of history, even to this day.

I'm gonna this a whirl.

Pyrrha Omega

Having taken the cursed Soul Edge as her own, Pyrrha stands in the mist, motionless. Tira walks to her, only to be suddenly stabbed in the heart.

' You did this. You did this... TO ME! ' Pyrrha screamed as Tira's lifeless body falls to the ground.

Patroklos, having witnessed this, is forced to fight his sister. However, he is soon overwhelmed and slain by a now inhuman Pyrrha.


Following this battle, Pyrrha disappeared. No one knows what happened to her.

Then one day, am armored beast appeared out nowhere. Wielding a large blade, it slaughtered all that lay before it's eyes, cursing humanity for what it done.

It was Pyrrha. The Soul Edge had changed her appearance completely. Gone was the frightened, timid girl. In its place was Nightmare.

I'm pretty happy with this topic so far. I've been a bit too busy to contribute much the past couple of days. Good work guys.
