Epilogue
After the complete and utter destruction of Neo Atlantica, leaving a second pile of ruins beside the sunken vessel that once was the RMS Despair, the escape submarine containing the 11 survivors and any loved ones that hadn’t died drifted through the water for days, looking for a place to land. Eventually, the submarine was spotted drifting near Neo France, and was quickly guided to the landing pad and transported inside the dome.
Once the survivors told their tale, public outrage was sparked worldwide, and an array of lawsuits, protests, and petitions commenced to try and get Hope’s Peak Academy to close its doors forever, both on land and in the Neo Nations. After a couple years of legal battles, both Hope’s Peak campuses were officially shut down for good.
After receiving medical treatment for injuries and other physical ailments, the survivors of the incident began to undergo therapy, many receiving therapy animals to help them cope with what they had gone through. Not long after Hope’s Peak was shut down, the students of RMS Seaworld created an organization of sorts - an alumni association, to be precise. Any and all former Hope’s Peak students were open to join the association if they wished, and pretty much every living alumni that they could track down was personally invited, which of course included but was not limited to the RMS Despair and RMS Monoland survivors who were still alive.
The Hopes Peak Alumni Association, or HPAA as it was abbreviated to, was organized with the purpose of trying to better the world. Although Hope’s Peak was no longer around itself, those who had once walked its hallowed halls under the title Super High School Level were still the very epitome of hope. And in a world overrun by chaos, hope was very much needed.
The HPAA worked tirelessly both on land and in the Neo Nations, striving for a better future. Their main goals were the elimination of terrorism, reformation of the world above the sea, and the reform of both mental health care and child protective services (such as coming up with better methods of spotting abusive households).
Through education, volunteer work, and a lot of willpower, the HPAA, the very beacon of hope in dark times, was trying to rebuild their world. And never again would another game of mutual killing come along to strike fear into the hearts of helpless teenagers.
