PROLOGUE

Jackson Howard Penn stared at the man in front of him with eyes full of hatred. In the past three years, that man had destroyed Jack's life. He had blown up Jack's hometown, thrown Jack's best friend into Criminal's Palace, and erased Jack from the minds and memories of the entire Anstretaenean Galaxy. " Prinest Danno-Everret," Jackson snarled. "Oh, hello, Penn, have you come to see the launching of Project Unnamed?" Danno-Everret replied with a smile. Project Unnamed was a satellite, that when launched, would send a signal that permanently enhanced the brains of select people. The signal would let those

people access all 100% of their brain power. The project would have helped the Multiverse, but Danno-Everret had programmed the machine to seek out the most ruthless people imaginable. "Project Unnamed now has a name, Penn. It's called Scripter, for it will rewrite the multiverse!" As he said that, Jackson couldn't help but chuckle. Was Danno-Everret, the most evil being in the Multiverse, really about to tell him his whole entire plan? Wow, how comical.

"What's that, Jackson? Are you finally giving up? 'Cause if you are, I would be so happy! To be honest this villain job is very tiring, I really think I should retire. After all, I am getting old." Jackson had gotten tired of Danno-Everret's remarks, so he started scanning his surroundings. He noticed a bunch of old tubes and other ancient things. Jack figured that he must have been in an old shipping yard due to all of the shipping crates and lack of oxygen. His concentration broke when the madman clapped his hands and two armed thugs with shiny new blasters stepped out from behind the nuclear reactor 20 feet in front of him. He pinned down both the reactor and the cliff behind him down in his head. Then he realized what weapons they had. A perfectly new Kristylshard P.S with extra velocity, which meant extra pain for him. Why do I always get the bad luck? Jackson despaired.

Kristylshard was the most lethal substance in the Multiverse. It was supposed to hurt more than anything else in existence, at least according to the screams of its victims. The thugs stood their guard, the last defense in between

Jackson and the reactor. Jack knew that he didn't have much time. Suddenly, he lunged for the control panel so abruptly that the thugs barely had time to process it. WEOO! WEOO! THUD! After a moment, two shards whistled past him, missing Jackson by a hair. Those were too close. Way too close. WEOO! A third blast hit a coffee coaster labeled "GALAXY'S EVILEST MADMAN". The shard launched the coaster into the air, heading straight for the reactor. Jackson stretched as far as he could to catch it, but was too late. The disk hit the big red LAUNCH button. "NO!" screamed Jack, despair flooding his body. He had failed. Now the evilest minds in the whole multiverse would be unstoppable! "Why?" thought Jack. Why? His thoughts drifted to his wife, Sally, and his one-year-old son, Scribius Penn. They didn't even remember him. Scribius. Scribius. Scribius. Jack struggled to his feet. Scribius. Jack knew that he had to do this, for Scribius. He stumbled to the programmer's control desk. WEOO! The thugs had found him! Jack began typing.

/usr/chang_e/texlive/texmf-dist/no_n_

/ent_ …

Jack smiled. Sure, he had used a keyboard (Who used them anymore?), but he had given the Scripter new instructions, and it all was going to end well. But as soon as Jack turned around, his smile vanished. "I'm sure we can reason something out…." laughed Jack nervously. Standing in front of him were Danno-

Everret's unnaturally big two bodyguards. "Not likely," one of them growled. Jack flinched. I'm not going to get out of this alive. Still, I should put up a fight…

Jack punched one thug straight in the face, sidestepped the other one's shard blast, then disarmed the first thug. "Vos iustus got succendit!"

(or 'You just got burned' in English) Jack trash-talked the thug as he took the bodyguard's blaster. WEOO! Jack narrowly missed being impaled with a shard blast. He powered up his new Kristylshard blaster, looking it over. ZZIINNCC! WEOO! The thug gasped for air as the shard hit him. "Aaarruugghhh," came his strangled cry. "You two should have reasoned something out," Jack told the thugs as he blasted the second thug. 'Maybe I am coming out of this alive, after all,' Jack thought. He turned around and came face-to-face with Johnson Danno-Everret. Maybe not.

WEOO! Jack shot Danno-Everret in the chest. The shard vaporized a second before it hit Danno-Everret. "You and I are going to have some fun…" snarled the madman. He took out a Kristylshard Endgame blaster. Jack knew that the Endgame series of blasters were the worst. "Can we just go to an amusement park instead?" Jack asked, terrified. "Nope," Danno-Everret smiled. "Just checking…" Jack grimaced. "Well, in that case, bye!" Jack shot Danno-Everret in the chest again. In the temporary confusion, Jack ran towards the ledge. "Adios!" he yelled and then jumped off the cliff. With the thoughts of Scribius and his wife occupying

his mind, he completely missed a small boy, about the same age as Scribius, lying the windshield of a broken down shipping truck... watching. No one else knew what happened to Jackson Howard Penn for a very long time…
