===Return of Scarlet Empress===
And this is how the game can possibly end.

"Oh man! This sucks," said the Scarlet Empress. "When I die whoever takes over is going to screw up everything I worked for! What am I going to do?" She then found out that if she wrote ''The-Broken-Wing-Crane'' (which is pretty much the Necronomicon) she'd be immortal. "Aight I finished the Not-Necronomicon! Now I'm immortal!"

"Sucker!" Said the Yozi known as the Ebon Dragon, as he dragged the Scarlet Empress off to Hell. There he brainwashed her [[/d/|with tentacles]] as his slave. He then said to the other Yozi "I've got a plan to get us out of here, any of you in?"

"Damn skippy!" said Malfeas.

"Affirmative," said She Who Lives In Her Name.

"Whatever," said Cecelyne.

"It's not like I've got anything better to do," said Adorjan.

The Ebon Dragon told his plan to his conspirators which amounts to: 'take the Akuma and Green Sun Princes to the four corners of Creation and fuck shit up!' Meanwhile Realm has a civil war, at least until the Scarlet Empress came back "I'm back and here to stay, mwahahahahahahahahahaha!" said the Scarlet Empress. 

"Hmm, something's not right" said Ketchup Carjack. So he called all the Sidereals together to try and assassinate her. It doesn't work and Chejop dies. Then back in Heaven Akuma, Green Sun Princes, and their Abyssal allies kill the Unconquered Sun (also possibly Luna and the Five Maidens.) This turned out to be less than good as now all the Exalted are Maximum OverExalted and make their pre-Incarna-death forms look like children with very flimsy sticks. Also, the Sidereals can now make new ones. Back in Hell the Ebon Dragon marries the Scarlet Empress breaking him out of Hell. "So long suckers!" he said betraying the Yozi. 

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!" said the Yozis still in Hell and then proceeded to commit demon genocide.

Back on Creation the Apocalypse and Ragnarok are happening at the same time, the Exalted gather mighty armies to fight the forces of the Ebon Dragon in a mighty battle, and the Scarlet Empress likely dies of an incurable condition called a Daiklave to the chest. The Ebon Dragon is defeated, the day is saved, and everyone lives happily ever after, The End… 

Except for the part where the Ebon Dragon is now in hiding unless you killed him; in that case he's now a Neverborn. Speaking of the Underworld there are a lot more ghosts in there for the Deathlords and Neverborn to take advantage of. Also more of Creation possibly was taken by the Wyld via the Fair Folk, the remaining Yozis are still trapped in Hell and now know they can get out and the fact the world is a much bigger mess and in more disarray than it was before. So Huzzah?


Interestingly, there's an alternate plot listed, though doesn't get nearly the page count it deserves. If the Scarlet Empress dies early on, then she falls to the Underworld as a mere ghost, though one with a ''lot'' of essence and relics. The Neverborn then find her, and go "Hey, congrats on that whole 'ruling creation' thing you managed, it was pretty awesome. They guy who tortured and defiled you is about to finish conquering it though, so you wanna destroy it all instead?" The Scarlet Empress agrees, and so they then summon Black Heron, who gets her soul ripped out and invested into the Scarlet Empress, to create a new Deathlord. Said Deathlord then in a supreme act of badassholery worthy of the Ebon Dragon, goes "Fuck you all, Neverborn and Yozi alike. I established the Realm when I was just a Dragonblooded, and now I'm a fucking Deathlord. I'm going to conquer all of your asses and rule Creation and the Underworld alike under the banner of the Realm."  Alternatively, she can snags a blessing from Unconquered Sun, letting her turn ''all'' of her undead followers into discount Exalted. Those followers, of course, number in the millions. And include quite a few First Age Solars. Yeah.
