So Professor K VS L&D would happen before Professor K VS Mariya. Monokuma would have an encounter before the finals matches begin. Halfway through the voting sessions Monokuma would reveal he's rigging the matches using Monika's abilities, since she's face deep in despair. MissingNo. would still sacrifice itself, unrigging the votes. Professor K manages to win, and due to MissingNo. being dead, Mariya also moves on.

Professor K and Mariya have a heart to heart, and think about all they've been through. Professor K mentions how he sees a bit of himself in her, and that he hopes for a fun and funky battle against her. They collab on a fusion track and.. Mariya wins.

K congratulates her for a victory while the rest of the combatants applaud. Mariya is very happy, but she thinks about how after her special day, she'd have to return to the past. She begins to plan for the day ahead of time, confident on making it the best she can, so that she will always remember it, and the other competitors.

Eventually the day comes by and everyone is listening to her music. Even people like Wario, Dedede, and Thanos are impressed. Mariya then goes to talk to Professor K. He says that he figured out what Mariya meant when they first talked, about her going back to the past. He tells her to "never forget this experience, and I'm sure we'll see each other again."

And then she goes.

It's a different ending, most notably with Professor K NOT winning. Why did I go this route? Think about it. K is the protagonist of the story, but in a way, he's also the mentor role. The student's is usually able to overcome the mentor at the end of the story, and Mariya fits the role of student. You have to remember, since Mariya was from the past, K is technically around 30ish years older than her, knows more about the groove and probably music she hasn't even made yet. Of course he's the mentor.

And it just seems right. A newcomer initially overlooked, rising from the ashes after her true potential is seen. Really, it's just like K. It'd be sad to see K lose... but in the meaning of this story, it works wonders.

And just you wait, I'm gonna have to change the story again after this, aren't I?
