Parasoul's is done.
Her ending is actually kind of hard to decipher, so I've included the unedited version below too.
Her ending is actually kind of hard to decipher, so I've included the unedited version below too.
Reporter:
Good evening everyone, and thanks for tuning in to the 5 o'clock Canopy Kingdom News.
I'm Rachel Wong, reporting from our studio in the nation's capitol, Canopolis. Frank has the night off.
In our top story today, there have been numerous reports of Skullgirl sightings in New Meridian, leading the Canopy Military to raise the Skullgirl Alert Level to “Mauve.”
New Meridian citizens are advised to stay indoors, remain vigilant and report anything suspicious.
This newest incarnation of the Skullgirl has yet to be identified, but our sources within the NMPD say her victims seem to be connected with the prestigious Medici family.
Lorenzo Medici, the most prominent of this powerful clan, has withdrawn from the public spotlight and is believed to have gone into hiding.
Having just observed the seventh anniversary of the defeat of the previous Skullgirl, our kingdom's own Queen Nancy (Trinity bless her soul), the appearance of a new Skullgirl is a chilling development.
While expected, the core of our nation is once again shaken as normalcy seemed to be returning.
But we will not be defeated, and stand strong against this new enemy!
In related royal family news, the eldest daughter of Queen Nancy and King Franz, Princess Parasoul, has successfully apprehended the infamous Gigan half-breed terrorist, Scythana, with the help of her elite military force, the Black Egrets.
As reported earlier, Sycthana attacked the Renoir Grand War Memorial in Canopolis, and has been detained in Alastor Maximum Security Prison.
So once again, thanks to Princess Parasoul and the Black Egrets, you can sleep easy at night, even as this new threat has emerged.
In these uncertain times, it's good to know that we can always rely on the strength and leadership of our Canopy royal family.
Good night, and goddesspeed.
Umbrella:
...I'm bored. This is boring. Let's go already... I want ice cream!
Parasoul:
You were the one that wanted to come! What did you expect?
Umbrella:
Yeah, well, I changed my mind!
I thought I'd get to see you beat up bad guys, using your sonic boobs, pool balls, and KFC combos! You know... the good stuff!
...Not just stare at smelly prisoners for hours on end.
Parasoul:
It's a prison - why would I beat up the people we already captured?
Fine, fine... we'll all put the kingdom's safety on hold for your ice cream, you little brat.
Seriously, what am I going to do with you?
We'll go after we return to the castle.
Umbrella:
Hooray! I knew that all that nagging would pay off!
*They return to the palace*
Parasoul:
Ready to go, Umbrella? I've got the car waiting.
Umbrella:
Geez, it's about time!
Let's see now... I'm going to get strawberry, and Hungern will have...
Adam:
Commander Parasoul!
Molly:
Commander!
Parasoul:
At ease, soldiers - what's going on?
Molly:
Your Highness, we have confirmed intelligence that the new Skullgirl menace has surfaced in New Meridian!
Parasoul:
So... It begins.
Sorry, Umbrella, it looks like your ice cream will have to wait.
Molly, assemble the Black Egrets! Execute Operation SG-009 and make preparations to mobilize to New Meridian immediately!
Umbrella:
Finally, some real action! I call shotgun!
Parasoul:
Umbrella, stop it - this is serious.
You know you can't come. It's just not safe.
Umbrella:
What!? I just want to see you and Krieg in action!
Parasoul:
...Adam, make arrangements for Umbrella to get some ice cream, and keep her safe.
Adam:
Er, yes sir! Operation, er... Chocolate Dawn will commence post-haste, sir!
Umbrella:
I don't want ice cream any more! I wanna go, too!
Parasoul:
Umbrella... I promise I'll make it up to you some day, after I'm done with the Skullgirl. One day you'll understand.
Umbrella:
No! You always say that!
Parasoul:
Don't be that way - our people need us now more than ever!
Do you know how important this is? The safety of millions is at risk!
Umbrella:
I don't care! I'm always locked up in this crummy castle with your stupid lieutenants. I hate you!
Parasoul:
Why you...
I don't have time for this! We'll discuss this later.
Egrets, roll out! To New Meridian!
Black Egrets:
Sir, yes sir!
Umbrella:
Nngh... my chest!
Wait! Is that... mom?
Adam:
Now, your Highness... er, Umbrella?
About that ice cream... Where did you want to go?
Now where did she run off to...?
-----------
*The Black Egrets arrive in New Meridian*
Molly:
Parasoul, we have confirmed reports that the Skullgirl has been spotted near the River King Casino!
Soldier:
Sir! Target confirmed!
Parasoul:
Excellent work, men! Advance on the target immediately and aim for the Skull Heart!
Soldier:
We don't have a clear visual on the Skull Heart. The target is blocked by... it's your sister, Princess Umbrella!
Parasoul:
What!? What is she doing here?
UMBRELLA! That's the Skullgirl! Get away from her!
Umbrella:
No, sis! It's mom! She's back!
Parasoul:
What!? What are you talking about? That's not our mother!
Valentine:
...Very touching, indeed. Who knew our steely princess had a soft spot?
Parasoul:
Leave her out of this! Your fight is with me!
Valentine:
Normally I'd comply, but this girl seems... special.
She appears to share a powerful bond with the Skullgirl, and that warrants further study.
Don't worry, though, the experiments should be... relatively painless.
Now, if you'll excuse us...
Parasoul:
Come back here!
Double:
...I can't allow that, Princess. Duty calls.
-----------
Double:
Poor Princess Parasoul... Her mother was a Skullgirl, and soon so shall be her sister.
Parasoul:
Don't you dare, demon! She's just a little girl!
Double:
The Skull Heart cares not for age. And...
Parasoul:
And what!?
Double:
As you suspected, as your mother carried your sister as she also carried the Skull Heart.
Darling Umbrella is already attuned to the Skull Heart's power, thus she will forge a stronger and more terrifying bond than even that of your mother.
Parasoul:
So... it's true. But I won't allow that to happen!
Double:
The Skullgirl and your sister await beneath the everlasting gaze of the Trinity. Pursue, and perhaps she can be spared her fate.
Molly:
Princess Parasoul! There you are!
Our scouts are reporting that the target has been seen in the vicinity of Maplecrest, and appears to be heading to the Divine Trinity's Grand Cathedral.
Parasoul:
Thank you, Molly. We pursue at once! Our enemy must not succeed!
*They reach the Cathedral*
Parasoul:
Everybody, split up and search the cathedral! Find the Skullgirl and my sister!
Black Egrets:
Sir, yes sir!
Valentine:
...I'll save you the trouble. Your sister and the Skullgirl are in the catacombs, deep below.
Double:
Time is running out for dear Umbrella, but I'm afraid we can't let you interfere.
Parasoul:
You'll pay for this, demon!
Double:
My, my... such anger. Your mother used to pray for peace here every day. How disappointed she would be!
------------
Parasoul:
UMBRELLA!
...What have you done to her, Skullgirl!?
Marie:
I have done nothing. She was too weak to wrest the heart from me herself, so... we waited.
She... reminds me of an old friend.
Parasoul:
Then let her go!
Marie:
I can't. Her bond with the heart drains her life as we speak. It cannot be stopped.
Parasoul:
Unless someone takes her place, the only way she can live now is as the Skullgirl.
Umbrella:
...Can we get ice cream, momma?
Parasoul:
I'll destroy you, monster!
Marie:
Such violence... Have you learned nothing from your father's mistakes?
----------
Umbrella:
...M-Mother!
Parasoul:
Umbrella, no!
Ending A
(Please note this section is very unclear in the files and it is basically my guess at what happened. There are no names or pictures attached to the text so I had to go with what I thought was best. I have included the unaltered text below for you to make your own opinion. )
*Parasoul destroys the Skullheart, seriously wounding Umbrella in the explosion*
Parasoul:
Umbrella... I'm so sorry.
It was the only way to save the kingdom.
Umbrella:
<cough>
It's... all right.
...It was the right call, sis.
You always... do the right thing.
I... shouldn't have put you in that position.
Parasoul:
Umbrella...
*Umbrella presumably dies*
-------------
Ending B
Parasoul:
Dammit, she's too close! If I shoot the heart, she'll die in the explosion!
...There's no other way, then.
SKULL HEART! I wish that my sister will never become the Skullgirl!
Skull Heart:
Your sister shall be spared. And, in time, you shall take her place.
Parasoul:
...Are you okay, Umbrella?
Umbrella:
C'mon... get... cereal...
Parasoul:
Sleep well, sis... because tomorrow we start your training.

I hope that Miss.Fourtune's other ending is where she wishes instead to be a member of SatPurrday Night Live. I know she'll make the Meowst of it. *END OF JONTRON REFERENCE*

could you do msfortunes next? these are pretty cool.
im sure some artistic types will likely actually draw these out for real at some point. that would be a worthy fan project.
and then they should post them here so we can see them.

I doubt that ending would be reality so ehhhh. I feel bad for Parasoul, having a selfless wish and still becoming the Skullgirl, suffering the same fate as her mother.

Painwheel done. Pretty short and uninteresting tbh. I'll do Fortune next.
Fun fact that most of you are probably already aware of: The code Valentine uses to shut down Painwheel are Val's measurements.
Female Voice:
...Soul contamination stabilized...
Metallic Voice:
...Begin implanting the control mechanism......
Female Voice:
Her body seems to have fully assimilated the Skullgirl's blood, doctor...
Valentine:
Implantation complete. No signs of rejection, Doctor.
Brain Drain:
Good. Establishing control... now.
OBEY LAB ZERO
FIND THE SKULLGIRL AND DESTROY HER
RETRIEVE THE SKULL HEART AND RETURN IT TO LAB ZERO
*Painwheel wakes up*
------------
Valentine:
...Now let's see - that's 19 Medici-affiliated families in Maplecrest.
Marie is going to have a field day with this.
Painwheel
...YOU! VALENTINE!
It was you! You're the one that took this life from me!
Valentine:
Well, if it isn't Subject 0-84!
...What did Brain Drain call you again? Oh, right - “Painwheel.”
It's been swell, Painwheel, but I'm busy - turn around and head back to the lab.
Painwheel:
NO!
Valentine:
...No?
You've been programmed to obey your Lab Zero creators without fail. How can you resist my order?
Let's try this again: invoking Command Protocol 51! Access code: 36E-25-40!
I order you to return to Lab Zero and forget that you ever saw me.
Painwheel:
...AUGH! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
Brain Drain:
CODE ACCEPTED - COMMAND PROTOCOL 51 INITIATED
OVERRIDING AUTONOMOUS CONTROL
Painwheel:
No...! I'm so close! Valentine is right there! I can make her pay for what she did to me!
And... what's this? I can sense the Skullgirl's aura on her!
Brain Drain:
RESISTANCE DETECTED
SUBJUGATING AND SEQUESTERING RESIDENT EGO
*Painwheel fights off Brain Drain's implanted mind control*
Painwheel:
AUGHHHH!
Valentine:
...What? You're still here?
Leave at once!
Painwheel:
I said NO!
Valentine:
Impossible... how could you overcome a Command Protocol?
That shred of a soul we left you with shouldn't be able to fight Brain Drain's control.
Painwheel:
I can feel the Skullgirl on you, Valentine!
Valentine:
Now that just won't do - it would seem I've been hanging around Marie too long and have been... tainted with her ethereal stink.
The Skullgirl blood in you must be reacting to that.
But, I wonder... perhaps there's more to that blood than we knew.
Let's conduct a little experiment - come to the Grand Cathedral of the Divine Trinity.
I'll be waiting... and so will the Skullgirl. See you there!
----------
*Painwheel arrvies at the Cathedral*
Valentine:
You made it - excellent!
Subject 0-84 - Initiate Command Protocol 51! Access code: 36E-25-40!
I order you to return to Lab Zero immediately!
Painwheel:
...NNGGH!
Heh, it won't work, Valentine! I'm in control now!
Valentine:
Amazing! It would seem my theory was correct: your blood is resonating with the Skullgirl.
The closer you get to her, the stronger your psyche becomes.
Painwheel:
Enough experiments - it's time for you to pay for what you did to me!
Double:
...Lady Valentine, let us dispose of this aberration at once.
Valentine:
No, leave her to me!
The least I can do is put her down myself - I did create her, after all!
Double:
...Very well.
Painwheel:
RRRAAAUUGHHH! I'm going to cut you to ribbons!
-----------
Valentine:
Excellent... you're ready!
I had my doubts, but I think you're ready to challenge Marie.
Go! The Skullgirl awaits in the catacombs below.
Painwheel:
Why should I listen to you!?
Valentine:
Do you want freedom? Do you want to reclaim the boring, humdrum life we stole from you?
Until the Skullgirl is defeated, no one is truly free. And you have the strength to stop her.
Painwheel:
You're right...
...But don't think for a second this is over, Valentine! I will find you.
*Painwheel enters the Catacombs*
Painwheel:
Skullgirl, I'm here to destroy you!
Marie:
How curious: evil people made you into a monster, but you broke free of their control...
...Yet you still wish to do their bidding?
Painwheel:
This is my choice!
Brain Drain... Valentine... This cursed blood within me... I don't give a damn!
Tearing you apart is the only true path to freedom!
-----------
Painwheel:
The Skull Heart... this is why my life was taken from me.
Skull Heart:
You poor, miserable child... I can return your life to you, and so much more.
----------
Ending A
Painwheel:
No, I will not be enslaved by you, Lab Zero or ANYONE!
Skull Heart:
Your freedom is an illusion! This changes nothing...!
*Painwheel returns to her home in Maplecrest*
Painwheel:
...It's over. I can go home.
*knock, knock*
Mom, Dad... it's me.
Dad:
M-MONSTER!
GET OUT OF HERE, MONSTER!
Brain Drain:
Painwheel, return to Lab Zero - we have much to discuss.
Painwheel:
Do you really think you can control me...?
The truth is... you're next!
-----------
Ending B
Skull Heart:
Free from the needs of the mind, body and soul.
Free of memory, reason and morals.
You shall be rage incarnate, a force of nature... a Skullgirl unlike any before.
...Soul contamination stabilized...
Metallic Voice:
...Begin implanting the control mechanism......
Female Voice:
Her body seems to have fully assimilated the Skullgirl's blood, doctor...
Valentine:
Implantation complete. No signs of rejection, Doctor.
Brain Drain:
Good. Establishing control... now.

SUBJUGATING AND SEQUESTERING RESIDENT EGO
*Painwheel fights off Brain Drain's implanted mind control*
Painwheel:
AUGHHHH!
Valentine:
...What? You're still here?
Leave at once!
Painwheel:
I said NO!
Valentine:
Impossible... how could you overcome a Command Protocol?
That shred of a soul we left you with shouldn't be able to fight Brain Drain's control.
Painwheel:
I can feel the Skullgirl on you, Valentine!
Valentine:
Now that just won't do - it would seem I've been hanging around Marie too long and have been... tainted with her ethereal stink.
The Skullgirl blood in you must be reacting to that.
But, I wonder... perhaps there's more to that blood than we knew.
Let's conduct a little experiment - come to the Grand Cathedral of the Divine Trinity.
I'll be waiting... and so will the Skullgirl. See you there!
----------
*Painwheel arrvies at the Cathedral*
Valentine:
You made it - excellent!
Subject 0-84 - Initiate Command Protocol 51! Access code: 36E-25-40!
I order you to return to Lab Zero immediately!
Painwheel:
...NNGGH!
Heh, it won't work, Valentine! I'm in control now!
Valentine:
Amazing! It would seem my theory was correct: your blood is resonating with the Skullgirl.
The closer you get to her, the stronger your psyche becomes.
Painwheel:
Enough experiments - it's time for you to pay for what you did to me!
Double:
...Lady Valentine, let us dispose of this aberration at once.
Valentine:
No, leave her to me!
The least I can do is put her down myself - I did create her, after all!
Double:
...Very well.
Painwheel:
RRRAAAUUGHHH! I'm going to cut you to ribbons!
-----------
Valentine:
Excellent... you're ready!
I had my doubts, but I think you're ready to challenge Marie.
Go! The Skullgirl awaits in the catacombs below.
Painwheel:
Why should I listen to you!?
Valentine:
Do you want freedom? Do you want to reclaim the boring, humdrum life we stole from you?
Until the Skullgirl is defeated, no one is truly free. And you have the strength to stop her.
Painwheel:
You're right...
...But don't think for a second this is over, Valentine! I will find you.
*Painwheel enters the Catacombs*
Painwheel:
Skullgirl, I'm here to destroy you!
Marie:
How curious: evil people made you into a monster, but you broke free of their control...
...Yet you still wish to do their bidding?
Painwheel:
This is my choice!
Brain Drain... Valentine... This cursed blood within me... I don't give a damn!
Tearing you apart is the only true path to freedom!
-----------
Painwheel:
The Skull Heart... this is why my life was taken from me.
Skull Heart:
You poor, miserable child... I can return your life to you, and so much more.
- Choice A: “DESTROY!”
- Choice B: “...FREEDOM?”
----------
Ending A
Painwheel:
No, I will not be enslaved by you, Lab Zero or ANYONE!
Skull Heart:
Your freedom is an illusion! This changes nothing...!
*Painwheel returns to her home in Maplecrest*
Painwheel:
...It's over. I can go home.
*knock, knock*
Mom, Dad... it's me.
Dad:
M-MONSTER!
GET OUT OF HERE, MONSTER!
Brain Drain:
Painwheel, return to Lab Zero - we have much to discuss.
Painwheel:
Do you really think you can control me...?
The truth is... you're next!
-----------
Ending B
Skull Heart:
Free from the needs of the mind, body and soul.
Free of memory, reason and morals.
You shall be rage incarnate, a force of nature... a Skullgirl unlike any before.
Fun fact that most of you are probably already aware of: The code Valentine uses to shut down Painwheel are Val's measurements.

I would of liked it if the B ending had references to HNK
You know
cuz that would make me feel good
and I'm not a fan of JoJo
So can we have that.
Please?

Ms. Fortune is a little funky because it actually has a modified version of the ending we see in the game there too where Nadia never meets Irvin, but it seems to have been scrapped in favor of what we got now, then just never removed.
Riccardo:
Ya hear the news? The Skullgirl's been going after all those families in Maplecrest...
Lawrence:
Looks like this new Skullgirl's got a bone to pick with the boss.
Where has he gone, anyway? Think the rumors of him gettin' sick are true?
Hold up... Look, there she is! The fishfolk dame we were sent to find!...Hey, girlie! Can we get some service over here?
Minette:
Yes? May I help you, sir?
Riccardo:
Hey now... you're quite the dish. I'd like to eat YOU up.
Now, how about you swim over and fetch me and my buddy here a couple free drinks...
...and then we hit the town?
Minette:
I... I'm sorry, but I need to work.
Lawrence:
You know... you are pretty cute.
...For a stinkin' gill-girl.
Ms. Fortune:
Is everything OK over here?
Are these guys bugging you, Minette?
Lawrence:
Go find yourself a sandbox, kitty - we're just havin' a friendly chat with the little minnow here.
Ms. Fortune:
Leave now, or I'll throw you out myself.
Lawrence:
Can't you take a clue, you flea-bitten tart!?
Clearly you don't know who you're messing with.
*Lawrence decapitates Ms Fortune*
Lawrence:
Ha, did you see that? That stupid cat didn't stand a chance.
What the...!?
Riccardo:
Nevermind her - we found what we were looking for! Let's get back and tell Vitale!
Ms. Fortune:
You OK, Minette? They didn't hurt you, did they?
Minette:
That was... AMAZING!
What would I do without you?
Yu Wan:
Thanks for scaring them off, Nadia. Your next dinner is on me!
Ms. Fortune:
Actually, I think it's time I make my move and follow them.
I've got to catch me a Skullgirl, and it sounds like mafia goons are the purr-fect bait to draw her out.
Minette:
Sounds very dangerous. Be careful out there!
You're like family to us, you know!
Yu Wan:
Nadia... do you really think the Skull Heart can bring your friends back?
Ms. Fortune:
There's only one way to find out!
See you around, Mew Nyan!
And give my regards to your dad, Minette!
---------
Valentine:
Well, well... what have we here?
That's quite the body you've got there, kitty.
Ms. Fortune:
...Er, sorry, creepy lady, I'm not interested.
Valentine:
Oh, don't get the wrong idea - I was just admiring your scars! You've been cut clean-through several times over!
No one could survive that... yet here you are, walking, talking and shedding.
Whatever's animating you could be invaluable to my research.
...Let's perform an autopsy and see what makes you tick!
----------
Valentine:
...I underestimated you, but I've seen all that I need to see.
And I'm sure the analysis of this blood will prove most enlightening.
Ms. Fortune:
You just don't stop, do you?
Double:
Lady Valentine, the Skullgirl has requested your presence at the Cathedral.
Ms. Fortune:
A nurse and a nun? Ha, where have I heard this joke before...?
Valentine:
I'll be there soon, Double - return and let Marie know that I found Lorenzo. His minions led me right to him.
...I just had to stop and perform a little experiment on our feline friend here.
Double:
...Very well.
Valentine:
Take care, kitty - we'll have a follow-up visit as soon as these tests come back from the lab!
Ms. Fortune:
So the Skullgirl is hiding at the Divine Trinity's Grand Cathedral, is she?
Never was one for churches, but here I'll make an exception.
...We'll be back together soon enough, guys.
-----------
Ms. Fortune:
So this is the Grand Cathedral, eh?
Meow what's a Skullgirl like you doing in a place like this?
Valentine:
She followed me home, Double!
Can I keep her?
Ms. Fortune:
...You again! Don't you have an appointment with the Skullgirl?
Valentine:
Indeed I did, but I'm afraid we've got a scheduling conflict.
As it turns out, YOU'VE got an appointment on my dissection table... right about now.
Let's not be late, or I'll have to get my spray bottle.
Ms. Fortune:
You couldn't beat me before, so what makes you think you can now?
Valentine:
Yes, my previous experiment was a failure, but I've got my lab assistant to help this time around.
Double:
...May the Trinity have mercy on this poor, lost soul.
Ms. Fortune:
The nun is your lab assistant?
Hate to break it to you lady, but you're not gonna get much science out of this one.
Double:
Your experiments will have to wait, Valentine - she is a candidate.
Valentine:
A candidate, you say? Even better!
C'mon, kitty - the doctor will see you now!
------------
Ms. Fortune:
All right, Skullgirl - you know why I'm here.
Marie:
I do.
Ms. Fortune:
So, no offense, but you're the last thing standing between me and my family, so let's get this show on the road!
Marie:
I too have lost much to the Medicis. Do you not seek vengeance?
Wishes such as yours rarely turn out well.
Ms. Fortune:
I've got to try - the Fishbone Gang raised me, protected me and taught me everything I know. The least I can do is return the favor.
Marie:
Your instincts are admirable - my wish was also to protect my friends.
Ms. Fortune:
Look, I'm gonna have to stop you before you get to the “We're a lot alike, you and I” bit.
I've come too far to turn around, so it's time to claw that heart out of you.
Marie:
...So be it.
I hope your wish turns out well.
-----------
Ms. Fortune:
All right, this is it.
-----------
Ending A
Ms. Fortune:
If that hell-thing was right, I'm on easy street!
SKULL HEART!
I wish I had my old friends back!
Skull Heart:
Your misbegotten guilt is exceeded only by your gullibility - no magic can stand before my own.
Your selfishness is a stain on your soul, and the doorway to your swift demise.
Your friends shall be returned to you... and serve you, Skullgirl.
-----------
(What's intresting with Ms Fortune's endings is there's actually the remains of an unused variation on the one that made it into the game.
Here it is - complete with spelling mistakes!)
Original Ending B
*Fortune returns to Little Innsmouth without making a wish and Yu Wan tells her Minette and her sisters have been kidnapped*
Ms. Fortune:
What!? Who would dare do such a thing!?
Yu Wan:
Nobody know, but people saw those Mafia sneaking around!
The River King hired a detective to find out. His name is Irvin, and left his card - maybe you can help him?
Ms. Fortune:
Don't worry, Yu Wan - I'll find them!
But first... Can I at least get an order of bao for the road? I'm seriously starving here.
-------------
Final Ending B
Ms. Fortune:
I... I can't do it.
I have so many new friends in Little Innsmouth!
...Terrible as it was, what happened happened, and made me who I am today.
Changing that would be... wrong.
That's what the Skull Heart is here for, isn't it? To tempt us into doing the wrong thing!
Marie said her wish was similar, and look how she turned out!
Well, no more!
Skull Heart:
A temporary setback!
This world will always be cursed by a Skull Heart, and so it will always be cursed with Skullgirls.
...Until this world exists no more.
*Fortune destroys the Skull Heart*
Ms. Fortune:
Hmph, all that for a life lesson?
How annoying.
Well, better go check in on everyone back in Little Innsmouth... and get some food.
I'm exhausted.
*She returns to Innsmouth*
Ms. Fortune:
Mew Nyan, I'm back!
I'm starving and claiming that free meal - bring me the full Lucky Family Banquet!]=],
Yu Wan:
Nadia! There you are!
Minette has been kidnapped! All the River King's daughters! And others, too!
Ms. Fortune:
What!? Who would dare do such a thing!?
Irvin:
That's where I come in.
My name is Irvin, and I'm a private detective.
The River King has hired me to find his daughter, so if you have any information that might help me find her, it'd be appreciated.
The proprietor of this fine establishment was telling me that there have been numerous mafia sightings in the area recently.
That's the only lead we've got, but kidnapping certainly fits the mob's M.O.
We're at a loss as to why they'd be targeting Dagonian women, though.
Ms. Fortune:
The Mafia...!
Maybe Marie had it right all along.
Irvin, I'm coming with you.
Those black-hearted bastards already took one family from me, and like hell I'm going to let them do it again.
Hang in there, Minette - we'll find you!
Ya hear the news? The Skullgirl's been going after all those families in Maplecrest...
Lawrence:
Looks like this new Skullgirl's got a bone to pick with the boss.
Where has he gone, anyway? Think the rumors of him gettin' sick are true?

Filia, the most boringest of the boring ones.
Though there is ooooone tidbit of possible lore tucked away in there.
Though there is ooooone tidbit of possible lore tucked away in there.
Riccardo:
Well, well, well... what have we here?
What say I buy you a real drink, sister?
Samson:
...We've already got a drink, thanks.
Riccardo:
Uh... that's quite the deep voice you've got there, little lady. But it's cool.
Samson:
...That's it! You had a chance to walk away!
Riccardo:
A parasite?!
Filia:
Sorry about that! He can get a little carried away.
*Filia and Samson leave the diner*
Filia:
Samson... You've got to stop doing that. You're drawing too much attention to us!
Samson:
Hmph, that creep was asking for it.
No one lays a hand on my host... no one.
Filia:
I know you mean well, but I can take care of myself.
Anyway... where to next?
We need leads on the Skull Heart - I've got to wish my memories back.
Samson:
It's definitely in New Meridian... I can feel it.
Between all the Skullgirl sightings and rumors, I think if we just look for trouble we're bound to run into someone who can lead us to it.
Filia:
...Fine, we'll do it your way.
-------------
Painwheel:
FIL-I-AAAAAAAA!
Samson:
...Get ready, Filia! I don't think we can get away from that thing.
Filia:
Ready, Samson!
But why does it know me!?
------------
Samson:
Hurry, Filia! Let's get out of here before that thing wakes up!]=],
Filia:
Samson... who was I?
Why does this poor girl know me?
Samson:
I, er... don't know.
It's clearly insane - I wouldn't worry about it...
...Dammit, she's getting up! We need to get out of here!
Painwheel:
F-Filia... It's me! Carol!
Filia:
...Carol?
*Filia has rapid confusing flashbacks focusing on Carol/Painwheel and Maplecrest*
Filia:
Carol? Is that really you?
WAIT, CAROL! DON'T GO!
...She's gone.
Samson:
Just great... No talking you out of this now, huh?
Filia:
Sorry Samson, but I need answers - we're going to follow her.
-------------
Valentine:
Another failed experiment - time to shut you down, Painwheel!
Filia:
Leave her alone!
Painwheel:
Filia? You remember!
Valentine:
Hmph, the amnesiac finally rears her pretty... heads.
What should we do, Double?
Double:
The Skull Heart can answer all of your questions, dear Filia - who you are, why you're here... what you're running from.
It can do that, and so much more. Anything you desire.
Filia:
The Skull Heart...? Here?
Double:
Indeed. The Skullgirl herself awaits below.
...But only if you prove yourself worthy!
-----------
Samson:
Are you sure about this, kid? A Skullgirl is no laughing matter.
Even as strong as we've become together, I'm not sure we stand a chance against her.
Filia:
We've got to try, Samson. I need answers, and this is the only way.
Marie:
Filia, we meet again... But why?
Filia:
We've met before?
Tell me, Skullgirl... who am I?
Marie:
I... only know one thing about you, Filia, and it is the only thing I need to know.
Medici blood flows through your veins...
...The blood I have sworn to spill!
-----------
Samson:
Well, this is it, kid...
Whatcha gonna wish for?
Filia:
I need to make this wish count...
------------
Ending A
Filia:
I know enough about myself now to know that memories don't matter - what's done is done, and it's time to move on.
Filia:
But, Carol... that poor girl. I think I wronged her in my past, so...
...Skull Heart!
I wish for Painwheel to have a normal life again!
Skull Heart:
Your wish is pure... almost. Healing the broken girl is noble, yet you seek absolution for your forgotten guilt.
Your transformation will be slow - make the most of it.
*Back at school...*
Mrs. Victoria:
Quiet now, everyone!
Before we begin, I'd like to introduce our new transfer student, Miss... Painwheel?
Hmm, must be foreign.
Painwheel:
Hi, everyone! My name is Painwheel!
I just moved here from the Labs, and I like sewing, puppies and walks on the beach!
Nice to meet you!
------------
Ending B
Filia:
Samson's been trying to hide something from me. Maybe to protect me, maybe to manipulate me... I need to know.
I lost my memories when Samson attached himself to me... so I should get them back when he comes off, right?
...Skull Heart!
I wish for...
Samson:
No, Filia!
Don't! You asked me to...!
Filia:
...my memory to return!
Skull Heart:
An interesting choice.
Neither your memories nor you death will allow you to escape your fate.
The fate that befalls all who misuse my power...
...A selfish choice.
*Filia becomes the Skullgirl*
Well, well, well... what have we here?
What say I buy you a real drink, sister?
Samson:
...We've already got a drink, thanks.
Riccardo:
Uh... that's quite the deep voice you've got there, little lady. But it's cool.
Samson:
...That's it! You had a chance to walk away!
Riccardo:
A parasite?!
Filia:
Sorry about that! He can get a little carried away.
*Filia and Samson leave the diner*
Filia:
Samson... You've got to stop doing that. You're drawing too much attention to us!
Samson:
Hmph, that creep was asking for it.
No one lays a hand on my host... no one.
Filia:
I know you mean well, but I can take care of myself.
Anyway... where to next?
We need leads on the Skull Heart - I've got to wish my memories back.
Samson:
It's definitely in New Meridian... I can feel it.
Between all the Skullgirl sightings and rumors, I think if we just look for trouble we're bound to run into someone who can lead us to it.
Filia:
...Fine, we'll do it your way.
-------------
Painwheel:
FIL-I-AAAAAAAA!
Samson:
...Get ready, Filia! I don't think we can get away from that thing.
Filia:
Ready, Samson!
But why does it know me!?
------------
Samson:
Hurry, Filia! Let's get out of here before that thing wakes up!]=],
Filia:
Samson... who was I?
Why does this poor girl know me?
Samson:
I, er... don't know.
It's clearly insane - I wouldn't worry about it...
...Dammit, she's getting up! We need to get out of here!
Painwheel:
F-Filia... It's me! Carol!
Filia:
...Carol?
*Filia has rapid confusing flashbacks focusing on Carol/Painwheel and Maplecrest*
Filia:
Carol? Is that really you?
WAIT, CAROL! DON'T GO!
...She's gone.
Samson:
Just great... No talking you out of this now, huh?
Filia:
Sorry Samson, but I need answers - we're going to follow her.
-------------
Valentine:
Another failed experiment - time to shut you down, Painwheel!
Filia:
Leave her alone!
Painwheel:
Filia? You remember!
Valentine:
Hmph, the amnesiac finally rears her pretty... heads.
What should we do, Double?
Double:
The Skull Heart can answer all of your questions, dear Filia - who you are, why you're here... what you're running from.
It can do that, and so much more. Anything you desire.
Filia:
The Skull Heart...? Here?
Double:
Indeed. The Skullgirl herself awaits below.
...But only if you prove yourself worthy!
-----------
Samson:
Are you sure about this, kid? A Skullgirl is no laughing matter.
Even as strong as we've become together, I'm not sure we stand a chance against her.
Filia:
We've got to try, Samson. I need answers, and this is the only way.
Marie:
Filia, we meet again... But why?
Filia:
We've met before?
Tell me, Skullgirl... who am I?
Marie:
I... only know one thing about you, Filia, and it is the only thing I need to know.
Medici blood flows through your veins...
...The blood I have sworn to spill!
-----------
Samson:
Well, this is it, kid...
Whatcha gonna wish for?
Filia:
I need to make this wish count...
- Choice A: "I know enough about myself..."
- Choice B: "I want to remember everything..."
------------
Ending A
Filia:
I know enough about myself now to know that memories don't matter - what's done is done, and it's time to move on.
Filia:
But, Carol... that poor girl. I think I wronged her in my past, so...
...Skull Heart!
I wish for Painwheel to have a normal life again!
Skull Heart:
Your wish is pure... almost. Healing the broken girl is noble, yet you seek absolution for your forgotten guilt.
Your transformation will be slow - make the most of it.
*Back at school...*
Mrs. Victoria:
Quiet now, everyone!
Before we begin, I'd like to introduce our new transfer student, Miss... Painwheel?
Hmm, must be foreign.
Painwheel:
Hi, everyone! My name is Painwheel!
I just moved here from the Labs, and I like sewing, puppies and walks on the beach!
Nice to meet you!

Filia:

So it looks like maybe Filia actually asked Samson to erase her memories?

Wow, The Skull Heart is a huge piece of shit.

I liked the bit with Peacock where the Skull Heart gets frustrated and says,
We talk a lot about the hypothetical smartasses that would try to pull shenanigans to escape Skullgirl-ism, the curious people that want to understand the Skull Heart before wishing on it. Maybe those people never made it there. Maybe Double killed them because she knew they were too smart to be a truly useful candidate.

Wow.... Cerebella's second ending.... That's really tragic. However, she kinda screwed herself over with her wording, but I think it'll help her develop more as a character and strengthen her relationship with Feng.

Good to know Peacock's second ending was a hit with Mike Z too.

Oh dude I've been a fan of it since forever. As long as we were going non-canon I figured it should be that. :^)
To clarify, I meant I'm glad it was found so that I can talk about it with anyone. Heh.
A few of these actually had preliminary art! Filia's alternate ending was really really really cool looking and I wanted to use the art for one of our sticks but never got to.
The reason why we cut all of these is because we didn't have enough man power to program in the choice option into our very basic story mode, nor the time to finish implementing additional stories beyond what we already had. Before we had our post-IGG current story mode engine, just to time a cinematic I would have to go to a timeline, right click > add frames > 10 frames (because 10 additional frames was the hardcoded maximum limit), over and over and over and over again to time a sequence, because we didn't even have the tech to hold a piece of text until you pressed a button.
Can you imagine doing this? Some holds are 300 frames long! That means I had to right click and type in "10" into a text box then press enter 30 times to get a hold that lasts 5 seconds. Meanwhile, Parasoul's story had shots and lines of dialogue that were held for 1200 frames.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS SUFFERING
I DON'T THINK YOU DO
YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND

I hope that art will surface eventually!
And that sounds horrific. I'm happy Brady(?) fixed up the storymode engine for the later releases! I really appreciate being able to decide when to continue scrolling through text. :p

Hey... don't I know how to make visual novels...? I can totally create makeshift story mode endings with that, can't I? WHELP, LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT GETTING MY ENGLISH ESSAY DONE THIS WEEKEND!
Edit: Though the endings are all shorter than I thought they were. Maybe it'll be quick work.

I knew I had a feeling that a lot of these endings would benefit more from art.
Though I can see why they got cut, had a feeling it was technical difficulties.
Hopefully multiple endings can resurface someday! Who knows?

Would also like to point out that if I had to use our old story mode engine to make Eliza's story mode, it would take three straight months (+weekends) to make as a conservative estimate. I would have also gone insane.
Get hype for Eliza's story!

Since you mentioned art earlier, what are the chances of it getting posted? I mean we already found this junk.
Also I can start to see where the "Are you okay Alex?..." rumors came from. Goddamn that Bella ending.
