CHAPTER SIXTEEN

With Edward gone, the three minions had reformed back to their old street clothes, however King Geroge knew just what to do.

Number-Two was sentenced two 50 years of hard labour as punishment for nearly destroying everyone, while the other two were actually dubbed as his two new royal advisors.

After all... all they ever wanted was to turn their lives around, and they were only folloing orders when they served Edward. So in a way, they weren't really all that bad.

The escape pods had all vanished because, as Edward had said, as long as he lived, everything that remianed behind would exist. Now that he was gone, they too went away.

As for everyone else...

Well, they all boarded two boats that graciously agreed to take them back to America.

And it was all before midnight that Samuel realized what Edward had given him. Elizabeth's soul-card. Since Edward died before midnight had struck, the spell was broken and Elizabeth had her sould back.

and it wasn;t until they spent their first few days out at see that she finally opened her eyes, and sat up. she was going to be alight. "Oh... Samuel... Sarah?" she asked all grogy.

"Mother... Mother are you alight?" Sarah asked.

Her mother nodded, although she felt like a stampeed of wild horses had just trampled all over her, she was okay. Sarah hugged her mother softly and began to cry. "Oh mother... I'm so happy you survived." she sobbed.

James himself held her free hand. "I thought I had lost another mother." he said. "I guess miracles do happen."

Elizabeth smiled, "My children... I would never leave you... ever." she cried.

A few more days, and Elizabeth was back on her feet.

Samuel was ever so happy to have his wife back, but Elizabeth couldn't help but notice everyone was not all that happy and chipper, and being all, a wife, mother, and mother-in-law... she could tell that it involved someone.

Then when she finally asked about what happened to Edward, she was very, very happy to hear that he had forgotten his evil ways and decided to change his life.

"But wait..." she said, she looked around, and saw that Edward had not show himself, or given any signs. "Where is Edward?"

That made everyone look even grimmer and sadder. Samuel and Sarah looked far too upset to talk about it, and walked away to get some air and search through their feelings.

Moses, and Henri decided James should tell her, and James did tell her about what Edward had planned, and how things went wrtong affter he decided to stop the missiles from blowing up Europe.

"He took his ship and destroyed the misslies, then he crashed inot the ocean."

Elizabeth held her chest in shock. "Oh my goodness!" she cried. "Well... is he going to be alright? How badly was he hurt?"

Now came the part James was dreading. "Elizabeth..." he sighed, "Edward had lost his powers, and nobody in the world could have possibly survived anything like that."

Elizabeth looked like she too was going to cave. "What are you saying?" she asked bravely while trying to hide her tears.

James summoned up all his strength and nerves. "He sacrificed himself to save everyone... and you." he cried softly. "Edward... is gone!"

Elizabeth almost felt her heart stop, she gazed around at everyone, who all nodded sadly indicating it was true. Elizabeth bowed her head into her hands. "Awe! Oh... oh... no, no. Oh, god. No."

Now that she knew... they could all mourn in Edward's loss together.

Weeks later...

Everyone had made it back home to America, and Henri went back to France.

All the Ladies were returned home, and all of Edward's former guards were gone, now as ordianrry men again with no memory of being in his service.

Sarah, and James printd an issue of one of the most deticated newspapers they had ever made. It was about how poor people need help, and should not be ignored.

Moses made sure to teach all his students that just becuase people were different didn;t mean that they were to be treated as outcasts. For everyone in the world may be different, and yet they were stil all humans, and that would never change.

As for Samuel and Elizabeth... well.

What Elizabeth did was, she took the blank card that once held her soul, framed it, and placed in a wreath of flowers over the fireplace of the living room. Her little memorial of Edward.

And Samuel... well...

For endless nights, he stayed awake carving a small staues out of wood of what Edward and he would have been like if things were different.

He made the following four statues...

-He and Edward as boys in school.

-He and Edward as teenagers hunting.

-He and Edward as full grown men, and Majors of the war.

-He and Edward together with the rest of his family, including James.

As time went on, everyone began to forget all about Edward, the things he had done, and just get on with their lives, but Samuel, and his friends and Family would always get together once in a little while to honor Samuel's fallen Half-brother.

He may have been mistreated by all... but he died a hero.

THE END

Author's notes:

There, updates complete.

It think that the story now looks better and understandible than it did before, and it does teach a good lesson.

There are more commoners and Pesants in the world than there are Rich, Royalty, and Upper-class. A-million to one agianst to be exact.

The Rich may insult the comoners at sometimes, but the truth is, they owe comoners half of everything they own.

Afterall, Comoners invented the money, clothing, wines, and everything they own. Maybe if everyone leanred to respect all others, for no matter how different they seemed.

Maybe there would finally be peace on Earth.
