It had been short of decades. No, centuries. No, was it really a decade?
Perhaps a generation had passed by?
Madara's limp body was afloat in some boundless white dimension, void of anybody, anything, nothing at all. No stimulus. No sign of life except for his. If his could count at all. He looked at his hand. He was real.
I'm not imagining things. I'm all alone. Could this be the after life? Ayumi...?
Madara had thought to himself.
Could this be... Ayumi's doing...?
Madara oddly enough, had felt a sense of relief and comfort. He looked up to see an endless pit of whiteness. No longer would be have to be concerned with the polarizing nature that was the Shinobi World. He had been the best of the best at it, but he realized at that moment, he wish he hadn't known about it.
He remained floating, closing his eyes, thinking about the time he had spent on Earth... the mark he had left... his legacy... the last words he had spoken as he found out he was a ploy after all as part of some grand scheme to destroy the world.
How foolish I had been. If I had just walked your path Ayumi.
Slowly, the flashbacks of his last moments were beginning to flow into his consciousness.
"Hashirama... Where... did I go... wrong..."
"I always... hated... people behind me..."
Slowly, the memories were scattered, but coming together.
Suddenly, the brown-haired man that had been his long-lasting rival came into imagery. Hashirama Senju.
"When we were kids, you once said we're shinobi, and we don't know when we'll die. ... But we're both about to die. Right now, we can drink together, as war buddies." Hashirama had said to Madara in his last moments, with a soppy grin.

Madara now couldn't help but grow a sad smile.
"War buddies, huh? Well... I guess... that's... okay...."

"Is that you Hashirama? I guess neither you, nor I could achieve what we wanted." Madara had said, feeling the pain of chakra extraction hurt his body, his cells.
"It's never that easy. Our job is to all we can while we're alive and then bequeath the rest for future generations to accomplish." Hashirama said confidently, and almost consolingly to his befallen friend.
"So naive.. as usual. you.. were always.. the optimist. But perhaps.. that is the correct path. My dream.. was squashed. But your dream.. still lives on." Madara admitted.
"We were both too hasty. we didn't need to fulfill our reams ourselves. it was more important to cultivate those who would come after us, to whom we could entrust our dreams." Hashirama tried to lessen Madara's failure.
"Which means I would've failed anyway. Since I've always hated someone.. standing behind me..." Madara thought of Ayumi.
"When we were kids, you once said we're shinobi and we don't know when we'll die. And that for neither side to die, we'd both have to reveal what's inside of us and pour each other drinks to toast like brothers. But we're both about to die. Right now, we can drink together, as war buddies." Hashirama said, with a sad grin.
A few moments had passed, as MAdara mustered up the last bit of willpower to speak his last words.
"War buddies.. huh? Well.. I guess.. that's okay..."

Madara had looked at his hand, and clenched his fist.
If I had only listened to you, Ayumi.
---
"Hamura! Hamura!" Ayumi was all alone in some white dimension, but she could feel him. His presence. Ayumi was growing frustrated, they were seperated. "He's back! Which means.. he has... died...from Earth... Hamura!" Ayumi yelled once more.
And just like that, Ayumi had her wish granted, and she could see her husbands back, far far away. She would run towards him at a speed unmatched.
Ayumi waved frantically while running to him, "Madara! I'm here!"
"Hm?" Madara perked his head towards the direction of the sound.

2332: Fleeing the Arrakis
What if you can build a town that moves faster than the speed of light? Silas Creedy, a retired Olympic Fencer in his late twenties, has befallen hard times in a crashing economy caused by dwindling rare minerals on Earth and Helium-3 on the lunar surface. He works as a manual laborer for the Space Force, accepting a measly pay while maintaining a strong physique. On Monday morning, Silas receives a notice of termination, but General Grant Freeman makes a dangerous offer: explore a distant star system in a top-secret electrogravitic spaceship while wearing a prototype exosuit that augments reality into a role-playing game. The objectives? Locate a source of Helium-3. Plain and uncomplicated. Silas accepts, but on an Earth-like planet he comes across a seemingly unmanned crashed spaceship that has a remarkably similar aesthetic to his exosuit. As local Fauna attack him, the crashed ship’s AI hijacks his suit’s programming, fends off the the locals, and repairs itself by fusing with Silas’ ship. Silas soon finds himself in the midst of a war between two Kardashev type-3 civilizations vying for dominance over the Milky Way. With his new AI companion, Tracey, Silas decides to go on the run to keep Earth’s location secret. Contains profanity, gore, transhumanism, and eventual real-world LitRPG character stats and spaceship-building mechanics.

Inside Job (FNAF: SB Rewrite)
[Originally posted on AO3]A complete rewrite of the game Security Breach. This takes concepts introduced from the games and books and implements them into the setting of the mega pizzaplex. This is not about theories. In fact, it's probably going to be far off from canon. This is just how I would've handled the story of Security Breach.Gregory sneaks into Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex in order to uncover the secrets of the pizzeria and find information about the recent disappearances from within. During the five nights he stays inside the pizzeria, he befriends animatronics, discovers information about not only the recent disappearances, but also the dark history of Fazbear Entertainment, all while he has to avoid being killed by rabid animatronics and whomever this mysterious "Vanny" is.
