Where it all begins, Part 2.
At that moment, there was a massive wave of panic.
"Why is there a robot here!?"
"Why is Jim in here!?"
"How is Franz alive!?" everyone was shouting and yelling until a certain boy finally snapped.
"Would everyone just SHUT, UP!" Keifer was just as confused as everyone else but he and a few others knew there'd be no way of telling what was going on if they didn't find a method to the current madness. "We have no clue what the actual HELL is happening, so let's all calm down"
"Who even ARE you?" Sissi looked scared as she backed into Lila.
"For a moment that doesn't matter. If you know who I am, come over to THIS corner" Keifer had thought of a way to sort things out, and with any luck, it would work. Within a few moments, he and his friends were in a corner. "Now if you're with the red-head-"
"My name is Lila!" she sounded furious.
"Then go over to THAT corner" That left Keifer with three more groups. "If you were here with Jim, then go stand in the elevator!" all that was left was another two groups of warriors and the adults.
"If you're with the other Franz, then go to the other corner. To the adults, go by the Super Computer" he had done it. Keifer rubbed his head as everyone just stared around in shock, confusion and morbid curiosity.
"Jeremy, any idea what's going on here? Ulrich from the Main Universe seemed on edge as he looked around to his counter-parts, then his grown-up self, who...
"I would NEVER let my...!" Yumi had seen her Adult-Self's body and she was flabbergasted by a few aspects of it.
"We can worry about it later!" Main Universe Jeremy seemingly hissed as he walked up to the super-computer and stood up on top of the Holo-Sphere platform. "Okay, listen up everybody! We have no clue what's going on but the common theme seems to be that none of us do"
"All I remember is every tower being activated" William from The Battle of Dunbar spoke. He looked around to his other variants of himself.
"Same thing here, actually" Peter was the next to speak.
"That's the same problem we had!" Lila had been standing with her friends and Mary.
"Wait a minute. We haven't had to even THINK about XANA in a little over a DECADE" William from the C.L One-Shot universe was growing angry. "You're telling me that..."
"I think I have an idea of what XANA is doing" Keifer's robotic counter-part spoke up before a massive argument could ensue. "According to what everyone is saying, I've calculated that XANA has caused a Timeline Conundrum, in which he has pulled his other fragmentations of himself from parallel universes but has ultimately caused a paradox, putting us here in an in between"
"Does that thing know what the word English means?" Jim from the Free universe had no clue what a single word the robot had said meant. The robot simply face-palmed before speaking again.
"XANA has pulled you all and itself from several different alternate universes and by doing so, it created the one we are all in as we speak" the few Franz Hopper's in the room didn't have any responses. "Everyone's XANA must have had the same idea. As for you" he looked at the adult variants of everyone. "If your XANA is dead, then another one must have found a fragment of it somewhere"
"That's impossible! The Super-Computer's been off for years!" Odd spoke up defensively.
"Then some form of XANA must have remained dormant inside of your universes' Super Computer" Jeremy from the Fight Continues slammed his fist into his palm. "This is all starting to make sense! But why would XANA do this?"
"Your guess is as good as mine" before anyone could respond, cackling could be heard from the Super Computer. Everyone crammed in front of the monitor as a purple XANA symbol flared to life.
"Yes... YES! Temporal Disruption ACHIEVED!" XANA's voice sounded highly magnified.
"Alright you toaster. What'd you do this time?" Peter was growing angry as the symbol still flared. He, along with everyone else, was growing more nervous by the second.
"I've done something you couldn't even BEGIN to understand!" the rouge A.I was laughing maniacally. "Now that we're all merged... WE CAN FINALLY DESTROY YOU ALL!" the symbol vanished after saying those words and the regular windows returned to the screen.
"So wait a minute..." Free William plopped down on the floor, his expression looked defeated. "Does this mean that XANA is completely unkillable...?" this also seemed to be what many of the others thought as well.
"Hey, didn't you notice?" One-Shot Universe Aelita was speaking now. "We have six Einsteins and two..." she couldn't bring herself to say their names. HER father was dead - long gone. Two Aelita's though, however had their's.
"And with all of us, XANA stands no chance" Main Universe Odd put his hand out and soon, everyone in the lab did the same. "Together, we'll somehow pull this off. But for now, let's take a minute to relax"
