Secret Wars
Chapter 1
Four million years ago, two alien ships crash landed on Earth, and brought with them a civil war that had ravaged the planet of Cybertron for millions of years. Now, the war between the peace loving Autobots, lead by Optimus Prime, and the war hungry Decepticons, lead by Megatron, continued on the unsuspecting planet.
For the Autobots, every mission was usually the same. The Decepticons plan to either raid a source of Earth's power and convert said power into energon cubes or conquer the planet, only for the Autobots to stop them and force them to retreat to their ship, the Nemesis, submerged beneath the planet's ocean, to plan their next evil scheme.
But today, things were going to change drastically.
The Decepticons had been defeated once again after a failed attempt to harness the Earth's plasma energy to cyberform it into a new Cybertron. The scheme was thwarted when Optimus Prime destroyed a device called the Ferrotaxis, a powerful supercomputer that controlled the destruction of the planet, despite losing the Colonnade of Cybertron embedded within the device. After the Ferrotaxis was destroyed, Optimus then plummeted down to Earth from the planet's orbit before immediately being recovered by the other Autobots.
Now, inside the Autobot vessel known as the Ark, the Autobot scientist known as Wheeljack was busy at the ship's supercomputer known as Teletraan-1 when Optimus, along with three other Autobots, Ironhide, Jazz and the Dinobot known as Grimlock, approached him.
"How are you recovering, Optimus?" Wheeljack asked as he turned to face his leader.
"I will live, thank you," Optimus answered. "Fortunately, it appears that the Earth will as well." However, something still lingered inside his head.
"You will defeat your great enemy, and the war you have waged will end soon," Teletraan-Alpha's words echoed through Optimus' cortex. "You will lead your people so that they may face their darkest hour, but they will face it without you."
"Something on your mind, Prime?" Ironhide asked, noticing a look on Optimus' face.
"I was thinking about what I was told, old friend..." Optimus answered. "The prophecy on the Proudstar. That there is a way to end the war...To finally rid Earth of the Decepticons."
Suddenly, without warning, a portal opened above Optimus and his men, catching them off guard before it began to pull the four of them into it. Then, just as it started, it ended, as the portal immediately closed and all of them were gone.
Optimus had blacked out upon being sucked into the portal before his optics shot open upon feeling someone shake his arm. Much to his relief, he saw his fellow Autobots standing above him.
"Oh, thank the Matrix, you're okay!" Jazz said with relief.
"Ugh...where...where are we?" Optimus asked as he was assisted back onto hs feet by Ironhide and Wheeljack. He still felt a bit dizzy after what had happened, and it didn't help that he was recovering from a ninety-nine mile fall back down to Earth.
"I wish I could tell you, Optimus," Wheeljack answered. "My scanners can't make heads or tails of this location!"
Now standing upright once more, Optimus could get a good look of where he and his fellow Autobots were. They stood atop a cliff with what appeared to be a barren, desert-like landscape on the horizon. It was clearly night time where they were, but strangely there appeared to be the slightest of a red hue in the night skies, hinting that wherever the noble Cybertronians were, it wasn't Earth.
"Be on your guard, Autobots," Optimus commanded. "This could all be a new scheme devised by the Decepticons."
"I assure you, Optimus, it is not," a loud, booming voice suddenly responded, prompting the five Autobots to draw their weapons.
"Who say that!?" Grimlock demanded to know. "Show yourself so me, Grimlock, can bash brains!"
A bright light then engulfed the skies, prompting the five of them to shield their optics before what appeared to be a pair of large eyes that glowed a bright shade of yellow.
"Greetings, Autobots," that same voice said, indicating that it was coming from the eyes.
"Who...What are you!?" Optimus asked. "And why have your brought us here!?"
"No doubt I startle the five of you," the voice continued. "Let me assume a more familiar form."
The eyes then came together to form the shape of a human male wearing a silver suit of armor, floating above Prime and his commrades.
"Think of me as one from Beyond," the man continued. "Call me...'The Beyonder.' And to answer your second question, I have brought the five of you to me to take part in the ultimate test of heroism and villainy in the multiverse."
"Multiverse?" Wheeljack asked. "So the humans' theory of infinite parallel dimensions is true?"
"Correct, Wheeljack," the Beyonder answered.
"Fascinating," the Autobot scientist replied.
"Yeah? Well I ain't buying into any of this scrap," Ironhide retaliated. "I still say the Cons are behind all this."
"Me too," Grimlock agreed. "Can me, Grimlock pound him, Beyonder, into dirt now?"
"Do what you may, Dinobot, but it will not matter," the Beyonder responded with a smirk. "I can destroy all five of you with just a mere wave of a finger."
"Tough talk, let's see you prove it!" Grimlock responded as he grabbed his sword, only for Optimus and Jazz to hold him back.
"No, Grimlock!" Optimus ordered. "He hasn't done anything hostile towards us yet. As of now, he is NOT our enemy."
Grimlock, with an angry growl, stood down and put his sword away before Optimus turned to face Ironhide.
"You saw the portal back in the Ark, Ironhide," he stated. "The security systems would have picked it up if the Decepticons were behind this. As hard as it may be to believe, this is all very real."
With that, the leader of the Autobots cautiously approached the Beyonder.
"What is this test that you spoke of?" he asked.
"You and your men are currently in a pocket dimension, standing on a world that I myself created call Battleworld," the cosmic being began. "It is here that the five of you, as well as a team of heroes from alternate realities, will combat against a team of villains. To the victors, I will grant any one wish they desire."
"Well then, Mr. 'all powerful Beyonder,' what if we say no to your little game?" Ironhide asked.
"The challenge I issue is not mandatory," the Beyonder answered. "However, it will mean that you forfeit this competition, and your enemies will be given the prize. That is, assuming they don't kill each other first."
He then placed a hand on his chin in a curious manner.
"I am curious to know what Megatron's wish will be," he said.
Hearing this, Optimus' optics widened slightly, not even wanting to think about the horrors that his nemesis would bring upon both Earth and Cybertron. Jazz, Ironhide and Wheeljack noticed this and approached their leader.
"Prime, think about this for a second," Jazz requested. "Something about this guy doesn't jive right with me."
"I'm with Jazz," Ironhide added. "This guy could very well be lying through his teeth."
"He could very well be, Ironhide, but what if he isn't?" Optimus asked. "What if he can grant anyone what their sparks desire? If we say no to this, then not only do the other villains have a chance to wreak havoc among their universes, but Megatron will finally have the opportunity he has sought after, and both Cybertron and Earth could pay a terrible price.
That's a risk I'm not willing to take."
"Do you accept my challenge?" the Beyonder asked as Optimus turned to his friends, wanting their decision first. It took a few seconds of thought for all four of them before Ironhide stepped forward.
"I'm in, Prime," he said before Wheeljack stepped forward.
"So am I," he said.
"Me too," Jazz added
Now, all optics were on Grimlock, who was still taking his time, thinking about his answer before taking two heavy steps forward.
"Me, Grimlock in," he said.
"Then it is unanimous," Optimus replied before turning to the Beyonder, who was grinning at all of this. "We accept your challenge, Beyonder."
"Then let us begin," the omnipotent being responded before a bright light engulfed the six of them and they now found themselves inside a futuristic building with a large supercomputer next to the Autobots.
"Of course, one side currently has all of the pieces in this game, which is quite unfair for the five of you," the Beyonder continued. "Therefore, this building will serve as your base of operations and I will allow you to use the supercomputer you see before you to analyze the multiverse and select a team of heroes to fight alongside you, which I will then bring here to Battleworld."
As if on command, the screen suddenly switched on.
"I strongly suggest that you choose your game pieces wisely, Optimus," the god-like being said. "For you will lead this team into battle."
"Very well then," Optimus replied as he approached the computer. "First, however, I will need to find out more about our new adversaries."
He then pulled up different files inside the database and observed them along with his fellow Autobots, all while the Beyonder observed from behind with his arms crossed. But once Prime brought up the files of the evildoers they were up against, his optics widened in surprise and horror.
Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave.
Darth Vader, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Agent Kallus and Boba Fett.
Yellow Diamond and Jasper.
Master Cyclonis, Dark Ace, Ravess, Snipe and Repton.
The Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, Kraang Subprime and Baxter Stockman.
Mojo Jojo.
Cobra Commander, Destro, the Baroness and Storm Shadow.
Aku.
Princess Azula.
David Xanatos and Demona.
Queen Vexus.
Vlad Plasmius.
Doctor Drakken and Shego.
Toffee.
Roman Torchwick and Neo.
Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa.
"Leaking lubricants," was all a stunned Ironhide could say.
"Look like a bunch of wimps to me," Grimlock responded.
"That's what you say about everyone, Grimlock," Jazz stated.
"And it always true," Grimlock retaliated.
"What now, Prime?" Ironhide asked Optimus, who was still in slight shock over how many villains the Beyonder had snatched, on top of just how powerful some of them were.
"As much as I hate to do this, we have to start chosing our teammates," he answered. "I did not wish that it would come to us taking these souls away from their worlds...possibly away from loved ones...But we don't have a choice. We are outnumbered and outgunned, so we'll need all the help we can get."
"But where to start?" Wheeljack asked as the supercomputer's screen displayed a number of alternate universes for them to chose. "There are millions, maybe even billions of universes to pick!"
"We'll stick with the universes from which our foes originate from," Optimus answered. "Their adversaries will know more about them than any of us, including potential weaknesses." He then began to chose the heroes from the fifteen universes, all while one thought lingered in his cortex. Could the Beyonder truly grant him what he desired should he win?
Could he grant the end of the war?
Could Earth and Cybertron finally be at peace once more?
Soon afterward, he had finished selected his soon to be teammates and breathed a heavy sigh, knowing that he would have to ask far too much of them.
"Okay, Beyonder, we're ready," Optimus said as he turned to face the cosmic being once more.
"Very well then," the Beyonder replied as his eyes began to glow.
Universe #321
Things were finally starting to look up for the world of Atmos. The sudden disappearance of Master Cyclonis and her higher-ups caused the Cyclonian Empire to be without leadership, something that the Sky Knights took advantage of. Currently, the Storm Hawks, along with Starling and the Rex Guardians, were intercepting two Cyclonian destroyers that foolishly attempted to attack Terra Rex and were winning, but something in Aerrow's mind has been bothering him since the disappearance of Cyclonis.
"Aren't any of you bothered by this?" he asked his fellow Storm Hawks and Starling as they continued to shoot down Talon Switchblades with little to no effort.
"What's there to be bothered about, dude?" Finn asked as he shot down a Talon with his crossbow. "We might finally win this war!"
"Aerrow's right," Starling stated. "The ruler of Cyclonia can't just disappear without any negative repercussions."
"Oh c'mon, what's the worst that can happen?" Junko asked.
His words would be jinxed however as a gigantic portal opened in front of the Storm Hawks, Starling and the Condor.
"Oh, you just HAD to ask," Finn sarcastically said before he, his teammates and Starling were pulled inside while Stork started to panic inside the Condor.
"Yep! We are DEFINITELY doomed!" he shouted before the entire ship was pulled into the portal before it closed, leaving the Rex Guardians and remaining Talons dumbfounded over what just happened.
Universe #333
The Hundred Year War had finally ended. The Four Nations were at peace once more after so long, and now came the task of restoring harmony to the world, which would come in the form of the Harmony Restoration movement. Said movement had just been announced in the Earth Kingdom city of Ba Sing Se and the people could not be happier. Above the celebration, as fireworks illuminated the night skies, a flying bison named Appa flew above the citizens as the occupants onboard, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Suki and Momo were having the time of their lives. However, two occupants were not. Toph, who's blindness had never made flying the least bit fun...
And the newly crowned Fire Lord Zuko, as something had been plaguing his mind all day. He had received a report from the mental institution that had held his sister, Azula, that she had vanished without a trace. The strangest thing of all is that there were absolutely no signs that pointed to her escaping the building.
'But how?' was the question that continued to linger through his mind. Then, almost as if the universe had answered his question for him, a portal opened right in front of Appa much to the Gaang's shock as it was too late for Aang to have his companion bank out of the way or fly upward to avoid flying right into it.
Universe #816
In the city of New York, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, joined by April O'Neil and Karai, were ready to resume their search for the mutated Super Shredder that nearly managed to kill Splinter and was still on the loose. Normally, Karai would have searched for her 'father' alone with her friend Shinigami, but Leonardo managed to convince her to let the five of them join her while Casey Jones patrolled the city and Shinigami searched for Shredder with the Mighty Mutanimals. The six of them stood atop a rooftop at night, Leo ready to discuss their plan.
"Okay guys, here's the plan," he said. "Mikey, you and Donnie go-"
All of a sudden, he was interrupted when a portal opened in front of the five of them without warning, much to their shock and fright.
"Is that a Kraang portal!?" Michelangello asked.
"Donnie, what the shell's going on!?" Raphael asked.
"How am I suppose to know!?" Donatello exclaimed before the portal sucked all six of them inside before closing.
Universe #527
Manhattan's police department were still searching for answers regarding the mysterious disappearance of David Xanatos. And none were as determined to find where he was than his foe, the gargoyle known as Goliath. Past encounters with Xanatos caused Goliath to know that this could mean no good, so he and his clan searched all night, unseen to the public eye as usual, to find anything that could point them to his direction, but so far they were empty handed.
"Anything?" Goliath asked as Booklyn, Broadway and Lexington returned to their current home atop the clock tower.
"We searched just about half the city, but still no sign of him," Brooklyn answered.
"Then we'll have keep searching once the sun sets," Goliath responded as he, Hudson and Bronx noticed the sun beginning to rise. "Xanatos must be up to something, and I want to find out what."
However, just as they were about to walk to the ledges of the building and turn to stone for the day, a portal opened above them, catching them off guard as they attempted to use their talon-like feet to grasp onto the ground to prevent being pulled in. It was a futile effort however, as all six gargoyles were sucked into the portal before closing.
Universe #399
A quiet day was a rarity for the city of Townsville. Normally, supervillains and giant monsters would try to trash the entire city daily only for the Powerpuff Girls to thwart them. However, ever since Mojo Jojo had suddenly disappeared, he seemed to have taken all of the crime with him.
But Blossom knew that sometimes a quiet day in Townsville could potentially be too quiet, so she and her sisters were flying through the city in an effort to try and locate the psychotic simian.
"Ugh, this is pointless!" Buttercup stated. "We've been searching for hours and we still haven't found him!"
"We'll have to split up to cover more of the city," Blossom responded. "Bubbles, you take the east. Buttercup, you take the west." With that, Bubbles and Buttercup flew off in different directions while Blossom continued to search through Downtown Townsville.
Just a few minutes later however, she suddenly heard Bubbles screaming from the eastern side of the city and immediately flew towards the source of the scream. She arrived along with Buttercup to see their sister hanging onto a street lamp to avoid being sucked into the portal behind her.
"Bubbles!" both Blossom and Buttercup exclaimed.
"Can't...hang on!" Bubbles stated before her hands slipped and she began to be pulled into the portal. She attempted to fly away from it before Blossom and Buttercup grabbed her hands to pull her away, but the portal's strength suddenly increased, causing all three of them to be pulled into it.
Universe #883
As Steven, Amethyst, Pearl and Peridot continued their work on the drill that will help them combat the Cluster, Garnet stood outside the barn, tense in every inch of her body and feeling as if something else would soon be upon them. For her future vision had predicted two possible outcomes for today. In one, everything would continue as normal and they keep working on the drill. However, the other outcome told her that something was about to happen. Right about...
Now.
"Get back!" she suddenly shouted, right before a portal opened in front of her and the others.
"What is that!?" Steven asked in shock, only for the forces of the portal to pull him towards it.
"Steven!" Pearl exclaimed before Amethyst lunged her whip to him, wrapping it around his waist, stopping him from getting pulled inside. Garnet then held onto Amethyst while Pearl held onto Garnet and Peridot grabbed Pearl to try and pull Steven back, but he didn't so much as budge.
"Pull harder, Amethyst!" Garnet said.
"I'm pulling as hard as I can!" Amethyst replied.
"I knew something would happen once I started working with you clods!" Peridot shouted before the portal grew stronger and pulled Steven inside, causing the rest of the Gems to fly into it as well.
Meanwhile, back in Beach City, a distraught Laips Lazuli emerged from the waters and ran through the beach towards the home of Steven and the Gems. Moments ago, something had forced her and Jasper to defuse from Malachite, and she knew that it wasn't either of them that caused this to happen. Jasper then escaped despite her attempts to capture her once again and Laips knew that she was going to try and exact her revenge on Steven, so, not being able to wait to tell him in his sleep, she immediately headed back to Beach City to try and warn him.
But then, once she emerged from the waters, from a distance, she noticed a portal pulling Steven's pet lion into it right before a similar portal opened right in front of her, the force of it pulling her towards it. Lapis attempted to brace herself by pulling the water of the ocean to her hands, but then the portal expanded in size and grew in strength, breaking Laips from her brace and pulling her into it before it closed.
Universe #505
The never ending war between G.I. Joe and Cobra may finally be heading in a direction where the Joes will defeat their long time rival. Four of Cobra's higher ups, Destro, the Baroness, Storm Shadow and even Cobra Commander himself had disappeared, and without them, the terrorist organization had undergone failure after failure at the hands the Joes.
However, Duke knew that this could very well be Cobra planning something against G.I. Joe and simply relocated their higher ups to a safer location, unseen by them.
"All I'm saying is that we should be focusing on locating Cobra Commander," Duke stated as he and his teammates, Scarlett, Roadblock, Tunnel Rat and Snake Eyes walked down the hallways of T.H.E. P.I.T. to the facility's briefing room.
"Duke, we've been searching for weeks and came up with nothing," Scarlett responded.
"Best we can do now is keep fighting Cobra's other flunkies," Roadblock added.
"And hope one of them'll snitch on where they are," Tunnel Rat said.
Snake Eyes on the other hand silently agreed with Duke's statement. Every second they fail to locate the commander, they risk Cobra getting closer to hatching something horrible against them. On top of that, Storm Shadow was still out there somewhere with them, and he wouldn't stop until he avenges his uncle, the Hard Master, for his murder, which he still believes Snake Eyes was responsible for.
Then, all of a sudden, a portal opened in front of the five of them, much to their shock, before pulling them into it.
Universe #061
Danny Fenton knew the risk of flying in his ghost form straight to Vlad Masters' manor in Colorado, but ever since he heard about the billionaire mysteriously disappearing, he knew that Vlad Plasmius had to be up to something. And weather or not it was a move against him or his parents, he needed to get to the bottom of it while both Sam and Tucker remained in Fenton Works so they could contact him in case Vlad attempted something there.
Once he had phased through the walls of the building however, it was completely empty with no sign of his arch enemy. Even Vlad's laboratories were vaccant.
"Where are you?" Danny muttered before he heard something behind him. He turned around to discover that a portal had appeared behind him. Taken back by this, he attempted to fly away from it, only to completely stop in mid air thanks to the pull of the portal. Danny was shocked at this considering he was going more than a hundred miles per hour before a table was pulled towards him. He had no time to react however as he was hit dead on, causing him to fly into the portal before it closed.
Universe #066
There was a strange feeling of calmness in the world, now dominated by Aku. The shapeshifting master of darkness' prescence had decreased suddenly, almost as if he had simply vanished. Some would see this as a blessing.
But to the samurai prince known only as Jack, he knew that this was merely the calm before the storm as he walked through this strange world he had been thrown into by Aku. For him, it was a time to be more alert than ever before as he knew that his old enemy could return with something horrible up his sleeves.
Then, as Jack continued his journey to return to the past, a portal opened in front of him. Instinct told him it was another one of Aku's tricks, but then he realized that this portal looked nothing like the one he had used to bring him here in the first place. Before he could think further though, Jack was then pulled into the portal despite his efforts to try and get away from it.
Universe #155
Jenny was in a state of unrest as she walked through the halls of Tremorton High to her next class. So much so that she barely even spoke with Brad and never even noticed what gossip the Crust Cousins tried to once again spread about her. Ever since Vexus suddenly ceased her attempts to attack her, every circuit in her robotic body were on high alert. She had infiltrated the school before, so Jenny knew that she could be anywhere, and even anyone thanks to her shape-shifting abilities.
Without warning however, when she turned to an empty hallway, a portal opened in front of her. In shock, Jenny immediately deployed rocket boosters to try and back away from it, but it only caused her to remain where she stood thanks to the portal's pull. Then the boosters overheated, causing Jenny to suddenly be flung into the portal before it closed.
Universe #708
Zordon could not help but feel dread throughout his body, even if it was still trapped in time. Just a few minutes ago, he felt a sudden disturbance in the Morphing Grid. The balance between the forces good and evil had shifted drastically, now tipping towards the forces of good, leading to the possibility that Lord Zedd had simply disappeared. Normally, one would see this as a matter of no concern, but Zordon knew that there had to be a reason for this, one possibility being that Zedd had somehow found a way to hide himself from the Morphing Grid and was planning a new, nefarious scheme to conquer Earth from behind the sage's back.
It was because of this that Zordon had called the Power Rangers known as Jason Scott, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, Billy Cranston and Tommy Oliver to the Command Center to discuss this developing matter.
"We got your message, Zordon," Jason stated. "What's going on?"
"I have reason to believe that Lord Zedd has vanished," Zordon answered.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Kimberly couldn't help but ask.
"There is a chance that he may have found a way to hide himself from the Morphing Grid to plan his next scheme in complete secrecy," the sage answered. "I need the six of you to-"
But then, without warning, a portal opened behind the six Rangers, catching them, Zordon and Alpha 5 by surprise, especially since they knew this should be impossible since no one can get into the Command Center without a Power Coin.
"Rangers, teleport out of the Command Center immediately!" Zordon said, hoping this would save the six of them from what ever was happening, but as they attempted to do so, nothing happened.
"Something's jamming the teleporters!" Billy stated before the Rangers, as well as Alpha 5, were sucked into the portals before closing, leaving only Zordon, who now suspected that whatever was going on was not Zedd's doing, but the doing of someone even worse.
Universe #223
It was all out pandemonium in the city of Vale. Huntsmen and huntresses in training were battling off the hordes of Grimm that infested the streets along with Atlas' military androids. For Team RWBY, it had been quite the past couple of hours. One minute they were fighting to stop an underground train operated by the White Fang, the next they were battling the ferocious creatures and saving as many lives as they could. Things couldn't possibly get more insane for the team of huntresses-in-training lead by Ruby Rose.
Or so they thought.
Without warning, several portals started to open throughout the streets, sucking multiple Grimm into them before closing. Ruby, as well as her teammates, Weiss, Blake and Yang, instantly noticed this and ceased their fighting for a brief moment.
"What the-!" Yang exclaimed, only to be interrupted by yet another portal opening, this time nearby the four of them. Instinctively, they attempted to jump away from it, only for the forces of it to pull them inside. Zwei, noticing his owner being sucked into the portal, jumped into it to follow her before it close.
Universe #958
The routine seemed to be basic for Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. Break into Drakken's lair, retrieve the EMP device he had stolen and converted into a bomb, fight his henchmen and Shego and it would all end with either the duo locked up for the third time this year or the two of them getting away with Drakken still proclaiming that the teen heroine wasn't all that. However, upon infiltrating the mad doctor's base, it appeared to be completely empty, the EMP bomb completely unguarded. Kim instantly knew that something was up.
"Keep a sharp eye out, Ron," she said as she carefully advanced towards the device. "I don't like the look of this."
Ron, however, instantly noticed a glowing, blue light from above and looked up to see a portal opening above the two of them, now having caught Kim's attention as well.
"And you'd be right, KP!" Ron exclaimed in fright before the two of them were instantly lifted into the portal.
Universe #424
It had been quite the eventful day at the Rebel base on the isolated planet of Atollon. At least in the eyes of Zeb, Chopper and AP-5. They had managed to stop an infiltration droid sent by the Galactic Empire to find the location of the Rebel Alliance's hidden base from both completely destroying it and revealing its location as well as sabotage it to self-destruct its warhead once it reached an Imperial Star Destroyer for inspection, taking it as well as several of the droids out in the process.
By this time, the rest of the crew of the Ghost, Kanan, Ezra, Hera and Sabine, returned to Chopper Base from a training exercise just in time to receive a message from a Rebel operative that was spying on the Empire, code-named Fulcrum.
"I can only assume you've found and reprogrammed the lost infiltrator I warned you of," the heavily distorted voice of Fulcrum said. "Well, as you no doubt planned, the droid did self-destruct on its return to base. I don't know how you pulled it off, but you have my congratulations. Fulcrum out."
With that, the hologram of the symbol of Fulcrum faded, leaving Kanan, Ezra, Hera and Sabine to confusingly turn to Zeb, Chopper and AP-5.
"Um, what was that about?" Sabine asked.
"Uh, heheh, i-it's kind of a long story," Zeb nervously answered.
"Which I can recall every detail of," AP-5 interrupted in the same pessimistic tone he normally speaks in. "It all began when Captain Orrelios brought the droid ba-"
He was interrupted, however, when Zeb suddenly covered the droid's mouthpiece, muffling his words while the Lasat could only chuckle nervously while his crewmembers looked at each other, still in a state of confusion. All of a sudden, as if things couldn't possibly get any stranger for them, two portals opened above the seven of them, much to their surprise.
"Oh, karabast, what now!?" Zeb exclaimed in frustration before the seven of them were pulled into the portals.
Universe #371
Things have went from bad to so much worse for Queen Moon Butterfly.
After an attempt by herself and the Magic High Commission to retrieve her daughter's spellbook as well as Glossaryck from Ludo, the body said tiny tyrant was suddenly taken over by Toffee's consciousness and formed a new right arm with Ludo's wand, embedding the green crystal into its palm. Unable to stop him after a brutal fight, Queen Butterfly quickly grabbed the skull of Omnitraxux Prime, the unconsciousness bodies of Hekapoo and Rhombulus and the ashes of Lekmet and sent them through a portal back to the palace of Mewni before the palace would collapse on top of them.
However, as she turned to face Toffee once more, a portal suddenly opened behind him, swiftly pulling him towards it much to his surprise and anger. He attempted to flee, only to be brought into the gateway. Moon then caught a glimpse of something that made her eyes widen in shock and horror. The glowing, yellow eyes of the Beyonder. It was only for a brief second before the portal closed. Queen Butterfly then instantly knew where a second portal would open and swiftly went through the one she had created before it closed as well.
Universe #372
After having her talk with Marco, Star had walked upstairs to her room, only to see a portal right beside her bed. Confused and curious, she slowly walked towards it.
"How did this get here?" she asked herself when...
"Star," a voice suddenly said from behind the princess, causing her to yelp and point her wand towards the direction of the voice.
"Demon!" she exclaimed, only to then see that the voice came from her mother. "Mom? Wha-a-what are you doing here?"
"I don't have time to explain, but suffice it to say, you are in danger," Moon answered as she placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "We must leave for Mewni im-"
Her words were interrupted when, as she feared, another portal opened right behind Star, catching the young princess by surprise.
"Star, get behind me, now!" Queen Butterfly exclaimed, but it was no use. The power of the portal instantly dragged Star towards it despite her attempt to grab onto her mother's hand and pulled her into it.
"STAR!" Moon yelled, tears welling in her eyes as the portal closed.
Though he was basically cherry picking heroes across the multiverse to bring to Battleworld, all the Autobots saw of the Beyonder was his eyes glowing for a few seconds. Afterward, it was still just the five of them inside the control room.
"...Where is everyone?" Jazz asked.
"I've placed them in different sectors of this base," the Beyonder answered. "I was curious as to how many beings that represent heroism in the multiverse would react in a state of confusion during an event such as this one."
"But what if fighting breaks out?" Optimus asked. "They've been brought here against their will. They're going to assume their adversaries are responsible."
"It will be up to you to cease their hostilities," the Beyonder answered. "Think of this as your first test in leading a team such as this one. Good luck."
With that, the Beyonder disappeared in yet another blinding light, leaving only the five Autobots. Knowing he couldn't change his mind, Prime knew that he needed to focus on bringing the champions of the multiverse to this room and explain why they were here.
"Ironhide, you, Jazz and Grimlock go and locate our teammates," he commanded. "Wheeljack and I will monitor the security cameras to guide you."
"We're on it, Prime," Ironhide answered as he, Jazz and Grimlock departed from the room to start their search.
