It has been three weeks since Jeremiah's disappearance. Everything has gone back to normal for just about everyone except for a few key differences. Shortly after Jeremiah's disappearance, Kokonoe tried starting a dimensional reset by getting Ragna's health to zero. However nothing happened. She tried this multiple times on multiple people. Nothing worked. After doing some research, she found out that when the Master Unit appeared right after Jeremiah exploded, it had stabilized the dimension leaving it permanently stuck the way it is. Kokonoe also noticed that shortly before the explosion that supposedly killed Jeremiah, the two universes that originally overlapped that brought him over to the Blazblue world had overlapped once more. Since then, she has been working on a secret project. According to the research she did on Jeremiah's unstable state back when he was just getting used to his new surroundings, if possible Jeremiah will just return to his own dimension instead of being disintegrated should the destabilization ever occur. And it did. Luckily, the conditions were right for a return trip. Unfortunately for Kokonoe, there is only one other known way of getting into the other dimension: a trip through the Boundary while the dimensions are overlapping. She has been working day and night on her new project, inevitably skipping work. People are starting to worry about her, especially Tager. Normally her being cooped up in her lab is normal. However, she's hasn't been eating much and she even isn't telling Tager what she's up to, and Tager usually has some sort of idea of what Kokonoe plots.
A few days later, she got a drill made specifically to drill into the Boundary. Without a Cauldron, Kokonoe can't properly test whether her new gear works. She activates it and it starts drilling forming a Cauldron around it. Heavy amounts of seithr start pouring out of the Cauldron. Kokonoe gets a remote out of her pockets and presses a button vacuuming out all of the excess seithr and storing it in case the need ever arises. The drill continues to dig deeper into the Boundary until it fell straight into it. Its work was done. A new Cauldron was formed. Kokonoe walks over to a special suit made to allow travel in the Boundary without the mind-shattering effect. She puts it on and walks over to the Cauldron. Rachel Alucard is observing her.
"Quite a dangerous ploy that she is about to undertake. However, I knew it was coming from the moment Jeremiah exploded and when the Master Unit intervened. I was prepared for this possibility. Hopefully, L can talk some sense into her," says Rachel as Kokonoe jumps into the Cauldron.
Suddenly, a wire catches her by the arm. She looks up and saw that L had sent the wire.
"So you were spying on me?" states Kokonoe.
"I was asked to by Rachel. She told me to make sure you don't do something stupid in your current state of mind," says L.
"I figured she would. I've prepared for that possibility by adding some stun weapons in this armor, but it should be more than enough to deal with your wire," says Kokonoe as she aims her free arm at the wire and fires thus breaking the wire.
She starts falling deeper into the Cauldron. L sends another wire down after her and she breaks with her arm gun. Seeing that wires were useless, L jumped in after her.
"XXXX. You're persistent but there's no way you can survive a trip in the Boundary," says Kokonoe.
"And neither of us are going into the Boundary," says L.
"Too late," replies Kokonoe as she enters the Boundary.
"She's entered the Boundary," says L into a communicator.
"Go after her. I'll send over the Tsukoyomi to you so you can survive the trip," says Rachel before L falls into the Boundary.
After Rachel gets done activating the Tsukoyomi, Alex went up to her.
"It happened didn't it?" asks Alex.
"Yes, exactly as we predicted," answers Rachel.
"XXXX. If Alena didn't keep me anchored to this dimension, I would have gone after her myself. Let's just hope that she doesn't do even worse in his world," says Alex.
(Location: Jeremiah's home in his world) (Time: 2014)
Jeremiah is currently outside fixing his temporal displaced mailbox.
"Ok, if I do this and this. And there," says Jeremiah as his mailbox flashed blue indicating that its time was back in sync.
"Well that's done. I still can't believe that it's the same day that I left this world. I was in the Blazblue world for months, maybe a year. Well, at least I'm back to my own brand of crazy," says Jeremiah.
Suddenly, a Cauldron appeared right above Jeremiah. Jeremiah says, "Oh crud." Afterwards, Kokonoe lands on him. Jeremiah crawls out from under Kokonoe and states, "Well, that could have been worse." Then L lands on him feet first and jumps off of him.
"Well, that was a soft landing," says L as he looks behind him and sees Jeremiah on the ground with a brand new bald spot on his head in the shape of a footprint. L looks on his shoe and sees Jeremiah's hair. He takes it off his shoe and puts it back on Jeremiah's head while saying, "I believe this is yours."
Jeremiah gets up and his eyes are glowing blue. He yells, "I am going to kill you!" He punches L down to the ground breaking some of it in the process. Jeremiah eyes stop glowing and he takes his hand off of L. L gets up.
"My, my dangerous you are. But not so dangerous when I pull this out," says L as he pulls out a bat belt.
Jeremiah questions, "And why is that supposed to scare me?"
L then proceeds to take out every kind of weapon known to man out of that belt all made of Citanite.
"Dumb question, how did all of that fit in there?" asks Jeremiah.
"Well duh. Look at your own pants first because last time I checked there was an 18-story house in there," says L.
"How did you know that I was planning on opening up an 18-story mall in Kagutsuchi?" asks Jeremiah.
"Who needs a mall with that many stories?" questions L.
"That's nothing compared to the 96-floor super mall I got here," says Jeremiah as he points to a nearby skyscraper.
"So how come the Citanite isn't weakening you even though it's out?" inquires L.
"What Citanite?" replies Jeremiah as L notices that all of his Citanite weaponry has disappeared.
"How did you accomplish that?" wonders L.
"Remember L, you're on my turf now. I got more power here than you can ever imagine, both physically and strategically," warns Jeremiah.
"Care to prove it?" questions L as he brings out a gun with Citanite bullets.
He starts shooting and Jeremiah jumps, spins sideways, and lands to avoid the bullets. However, he was doing this a lot slower than he usually does it at. L gets out a knife and throws it. Jeremiah barely leans towards the side causing it to miss. He steps to the side a bit as the same knife comes back towards L. L uses his wires to catch the knife and reels it back in. He then sends his wire at Jeremiah who stumbles out of the way. Suddenly, his own wire starts to reel him in. He falls down to the ground before getting shocked. Laser turrets come out of the ground and aim at L. He gets up before getting shocked again. He is unaffected. The lasers fire and he jumps up. His wire breaks free from whatever pulling it, and he reels it in. Then, he sends another one at Jeremiah that wraps around him. It shocks him. He falls down to the ground as L lands.
"Had enough?" asks L as he sees two buzz saws flying straight towards him.
He jumps back and they land in the ground. Suddenly, a platform appears below Jeremiah and lowers him underground.
"What's with all of this home security?" asks L as his own wire starts tugging.
Once the platform got lowered to a certain point Jeremiah stopped going with it as L's wire couldn't extend that far. Jeremiah's weight caused L to nearly fall on the buzz saws. He caught himself midfall but just barely. It's all he can do at this point to not topple over and land on the saws. Seeing as he had no choice but to lose the deadweight, he had his wire unwrap around Jeremiah and return to him. Once the wire uncoiled, Jeremiah fell back on the platform, which stopped a short way after it lost Jeremiah. L rolled to the side landing on his back on ground without saws. Or so he thought until more saws came out of the ground and gunned straight for L. He sent a wire towards one of the turrets and coiled it around the turret. He reeled himself out of the way causing the saws to miss. He got up as the turret suddenly spun around. It stopped once it rotated 180 degrees and all the other turrets were aimed at him. He uncoiled the wire and jumped before the lasers could hit him. However, he could not escape the force of the explosion and got sent flying back. He landed hard on the ground as a grid appeared on the ground. Electricity came out of the grid's outline completely mirroring it. It started moving towards the turrets. He jumps backwards three times between the grid and just stops waiting for the next obstacle. The grid touches him but does nothing, as he is immune to electricity.
"Who has home security this good?" wonders L as the castle doors open and Kokonoe is brought inside. Suddenly, he hears Jeremiah's voice on loud speakers.
"You should be honored. Normally my home security isn't this good. However, thanks to Kokonoe's new experimental self-upgrading algorithm it can continuously upgrade itself if the need arises," explains Jeremiah.
"I didn't know Kokonoe was working on such a thing," states L as the grid disappears and missiles launched at him.
He jumps and all of the missiles hit the ground exploding right under him propelling him up. More missiles start heading towards him. He uses a wire to latch onto one of the missiles and reels himself in. He then uses the wire as reins in order to turn the specific missile around. Afterwards, he unwraps his wires and surfs on the missile towards the castle. "What the…heck?" says Jeremiah as the missile crashes into the castle breaking the walls. He rolls on the floor stopping right in front of Jeremiah aiming his gun at him. Jeremiah suddenly feels weak and falls to his knees.
"Had enough?" asks L.
"In…your…dreams," struggles Jeremiah right before the floor moves further back into the building.
L shoots a Citanite bullet straight at Jeremiah but a force field appears stopping it in its tracks but just barely. The bullet falls to the floor. More turrets appear from the wall and start shooting him. He starts jumping back. He sends a wire towards one of the turrets and wraps it around the turret. He then sends electricity through the wire thus zapping the turret. The current spreads and fries all the turrets. He uncoils the wire and reels it in.
Further in the castle, Jeremiah is putting on a special suit made specifically for handling Citanite.
"This should turn the tables in my favor," says Jeremiah while putting on the boots.
His friend, Austin Elder, is just outside his yard and he sees all the devastation caused by L's battle.
"I wonder what happened here?" wonders Austin as he walks over to the castle.
L sends wires straight into each side of the wall and discharges electricity in an attempt to disable the electrical grid. It works. All the power immediately shuts off.
A doppelganger of Jeremiah is watching from above. The only difference in appearance between him and Jeremiah is that he has red eyes. "And to think I was going to attack him today. Somebody beat me straight to the punch," says the doppelganger speaking to no one. Austin rushes into the house and he just noticed that all the light were out along with the security system.
"Something must be going on. He usually arms the security system if he's gone and the lights are usually on if he's here," says Austin as he goes into the castle.
L finds a door at the end of the hallway. It suddenly opens and he sees Jeremiah in some sort of HAZMAT suit.
"Your Citanite weaponry will not work while I'm wearing this suit. It was made specifically to block the effects of Citanite so I can do crucial work that involves any form of Citanite," states Jeremiah.
"It doesn't look like that thing is made for combat," states L.
"True, but it'll do in a pinch," agrees Jeremiah as he gets into a combat stance.
L shoots a Citanite bullet at Jeremiah who quickly makes a red barrier right in front of him. The bullet didn't even make a dent in the barrier. He starts circling around L right when the barrier disappears. The bullets miss but he notices that Jeremiah is unusually slow. A sword appears in Jeremiah's hand, which immediately glows and changes shape. Jeremiah charges straight at L afterwards. L steps out of the way right when Jeremiah slashes and he shoots him. Jeremiah falls right at that moment. Austin comes up the stairs and sees L.
"Who is this?" wonders Austin as L turns around.
He stands there baffled at this newcomer. Austin looks and sees Jeremiah on the floor. He tries getting up but falls back down. Austin draws his sword and charges at the L man. He slashes at him only to be dodged by L simply leaning back. L sends a wire straight to Austin's chest hitting him hard. The wire reels back to L while Austin stumbles back a bit. Austin goes in for a stab and L sidesteps, but Austin quickly spins around and hits him to the side. L gets knocked to the floor. In the room behind them, Kokonoe is starting to come to.
"Where am I? Who am I?" wonders Kokonoe as she gets up. She takes off her helmet and goes to the door only to see Austin and L fighting.
L uses his wires to sling Austin's sword away from him. Austin suddenly changes form to where he now has a tail and animal ears. His nails have also become claw-like. He then proceeds to slash L with incredible force and brutality. L wraps a wire around him and shocks him. He is unphased and goes in for a stab with his claw-like nails before L can react.
"Whoever this guy is, he's tough. (Austin takes his nails out of L causing him to bleed a bit.) I got to take care of this guy quickly," thinks L.
He gets out a couple of handguns and starts shooting Austin with one. Austin begins to circle him in an effort to dodge the bullets. This was a lure to put him in line for the real shot. He shot the other gun a little bit before Austin got to his other side. He got hit and ended up hitting the wall cracking it. He fell back to the floor.
"What the hell is going on here?" wonders Kokonoe as Jeremiah struggles to get back up. He falls back down.
"I need to get up and get out of here. I have to get this Citanite out of me before it kills me. Then again, I don't think there's any qualified doctors nearby to help me. If I try to get a normal doctor, while they should be able to perform the surgery, it will alert the government that I'm a bit abnormal. And there is no worse publicity than breaking out of a government building," thinks Jeremiah.
As if responding to his thoughts, the Cauldron underneath the castle suddenly opens and seithr flows out of it. Normally, seithr sticks close to the ground, but it starts going up the castle as if possessed. Austin gets up and rushes to grab his sword, which he succeeds in. Suddenly, seithr starts coming in through the bottom of the walls and tiny gaps in the floor like black mist.
"I thought this dimension had no seithr," says L as the seithr spreads.
Suddenly, it stops spreading and all of it goes to one location, straight at Jeremiah. Jeremiah starts hearing the cries of the source of his marks as all four start glowing. One of them is on his forehead. Another one is just barely below his neck. The other two are on his arms. Black tendrils suddenly come out of Jeremiah's back, strange yellow rings form around his wrists, he shows his face revealing his teeth look like short fangs, his eyes are now pink, and the marks on his arms turn into gems. One of the gems is blue with an octagon shape with some spines around it that go around the arm and the other one is pink with a round shape. He roars some strange sounds and charges at L on all fours with incredible speed. He slashes at L ripping some of his shirt and causing L to stumble back a bit. One of the black tendrils move swiftly proceeding to stab L. Austin stops it and pins the tendril to the ground. Two more tendrils move and grab Austin and L lifting them off the ground. Jeremiah stands on two feet once more making the strange sound once more, only softer.
"Why did you even bother defending me if you were trying to kill me a moment ago?" asks L.
"Not kill, only maim. Plus, this isn't like him. I've never seen him transform into this, but he's got no control over himself at the moment. Whatever that black mist was, it messed with his mind making him hostile," says Austin before both of them get thrown into the wall. They fell back down and L replies, "Truce for now until we settle this matter."
Jeremiah roared and a blue sphere appears right in front of his mouth. He fires it and it heads straight for Austin and L completely breaking that wall. They just barely moved out of the way to the left. He aimed the palms of his hands at them and a couple of red spheres form in them. He fires them and they run out of the way vaporizing the wall behind them. A wire wraps around him and shocks him. He roars in pain. The blue gem glows and he's suddenly behind them and they feel a ton of blows simultaneously hit both of them. They go flying backwards and hit the floor hard.
"What just happened there?" questions L as both of them gets up.
Jeremiah punches him from behind with incredible power.
He goes flying again and slams into the wall. Austin tries slashing at him from the side but the pink gem stops his sword. Jeremiah looks at him and punches him causing him to spin around and fall dazed. A wire grabs his arm and L shoots him rapid-fire. Jeremiah turns around and grabs the wire with his other hand. The wire suddenly glows red and disintegrates. Another blue sphere appears right in front of him and fires at L sending him flying out of the building. Kokonoe rushes out of the room screaming, "Stop it, you bastard!"
Jeremiah looks at her and says, "Kokonoe."
Jeremiah eyes return to normal, his form reverts back, and he collapses.
Shortly afterwards, the computer kicked back on and instantly noticed Jeremiah's vital signs declining. It called a doctor who used to work with Jeremiah in the Superheroes, a secret organization of heroes committed to protecting the Earth (now disbanded). She was able to successfully remove the Citanite from his body before the effects could be lethal.
"He should make a full recovery. Just keep him away from any more Citanite for the next few weeks. He may also have mental issues because the Citanite was messing with the electrical impulses of his nervous system. So he could have short-term memory loss or worst-case scenario, amnesia. If that's the case, just make sure to help him remember. I'll send the bill later when he's capable of paying it," explains the doctor before she leaves.
Jeremiah starts to wake up and says, "What happened? Where am I? And now that I think about it, who am I?"
"Now we got two people with amnesia. I'm not going to sit here and wait for their memory to come back. I'm going to have a look around," says L as he leaves the room.
"Two? Who's the second?" asks Jeremiah as he gets up.
He looks and sees Kokonoe and Austin. He looks at Kokonoe and asks, "What's with the fancy gear?"
"I don't remember. I'm the other person with amnesia," answers Kokonoe.
"Then this guy right here must know who we are," assumes Jeremiah as he indicates towards Austin.
"I know who you are J. But as for her, I have no clue who she is other than her name," replies Austin.
"Well don't keep me in suspense, who am I?" asks Jeremiah.
"You're Jeremiah Ellison and you live here. You're a super-powered person who took a nasty blow just now. I'm your neighbor and best friend Austin, who you owe $20 to," answers Austin.
"So I got super-powers and I must be rich if I live in this solid gold castle. It's a wonder how I don't go blind living here," states Jeremiah.
"He owes you $20? Odd, when I think of money platinum dollars come to mind," states Kokonoe.
"Platinum dollars? Sounds familiar but doesn't ring a bell," states Jeremiah trying to determine which currency was right.
"You don't really owe me 20. I'm just messing with you," says Austin.
He gets up and walks over to Kokonoe. He sits down and asks, "So you don't remember anything either?"
"Nope. I bet that other guy knows something about me but he done left and there's no telling if he's willing to cooperate. It's also obvious you knew something about me because you knew my name," answers Kokonoe.
"And what is your name?" asks Jeremiah.
"Kokonoe."
"Kokonoe?"
Flashbacks start flooding through Jeremiah's head about all the times he spent with Kokonoe.
He says, "Just the sound of that name brought back memories. You were a brilliant scientist, apparently had a silver vine addiction, and there was something going on between us that we were both too stubborn to admit."
"And what would that be?" asks Kokonoe.
"Just think of my name and it should come," says Jeremiah as he stands up.
She starts thinking, "I believe the one guy called him, Jeremiah Ellison."
Floods of flashbacks start going through Kokonoe's head about all the time she spent with Jeremiah. She fell back a bit. Jeremiah gets into a kneeling position and asks, "You all right?"
"Yeah. Just didn't expect that big of a flood of memories," says Kokonoe as one more memory comes into her head. Specifically, the one where she jumps into the Cauldron.
"I jumped into the Boundary. This gear was supposed to protect my mind but it still shattered my memory. L followed me in an attempt to stop me," explains Kokonoe.
Jeremiah remembers L and thinks, "And exactly what is he doing right now?"
L is walking down the hallway. He gets ready to launch an attack and warns, "You might want to come out now or I will be inclined to use force."
He hears maniacal laughter all around him and a menacing voice, "Very well. I only wanted to talk anyway."
He suddenly sees a Jeremiah doppelganger levitate down in front of him upside down. He turns right side up and lands.
"Who are you?" asks L knowing that this guy was pure evil.
"Would you like my true name or the name that my enemies gave me?" asks the doppelganger.
"Your true name," replies L.
"My name is Suerama. What's your name?" answers Suerama.
"My name is L. What business do you have here?" replies L.
"My business is my own, but I've come to you out of curiosity."
"Curiosity?" wonders L.
"I've noticed all the commotion earlier. Something unusual is going on around here and I want you to enlighten me," states Suerama.
"Why would I tell you of anything that's conspired here?" asks L.
"Because if you don't, I'll kill you. I'll make it slow and painful so you have plenty of time to think of my generous offer. And you would be nuts to deny me my request because I have the guts and the power to back it up," answers Suerama.
"And what kind of power are we talking about here?" asks L.
Suerama holds his hand towards the wall and blasts it, making a nice hole in it. L just stands there bewildered and thinks, "Does everyone in this dimension have the power to blow everyone sky high?"
"Luckily for you, I got no interest in you. Just give me the information and I'll let you live. Simple as that," says Suerama.
L sends a wire straight at Suerama. He makes a sword of condensed darkness and uses it to deflect the wire. L reels it in.
"So, I take it you choose death then?" assumes Suerama.
"Even if you kill me, those idiots back there will find my body and hunt you down," threatens L.
"You must mean Jeremiah and Austin. While I would only call one of them a true idiot, they have proven very formidable on the battlefield. Besides, I have already taken that into account along with the fact that Jeremiah would hunt me down if I gave him a reason to. So what's your choice?" asks Suerama.
L begins to think about the many battles he fought in his world. He knew that if he chose to fight him, Suerama would be very capable of eliminating him. He especially takes into account his demonstration a moment ago. It was obvious that he was using something similar to Jeremiah's powers yet not quite the same. Then it hits him. He realizes that their powers must be one of the same; he's just using the opposite element of one group of Jeremiah's powers. He gets out his Citanite gun only to find that Suerama was gone. He looks around and looks out the hole to see if Suerama jumped out of it. Suddenly, a string of fire grabs the gun and throws it out of L's hand and out the hole. Suerama jumps out from further in the hall and punches him while his hand is engulfed in flames. L face is slightly burned, but nothing major. Suerama holds L down and his eyes start glowing red. He keeps L's eyes open and forces him to look directly into them. L's eyes start glowing red and in a flash, he disappears. L's eyes stop glowing and now they're red. He smiles, gets up, and takes off his bat belt. Suddenly, he falls to his knees and quickly throws it out the hole. He quickly feels better and gets up. He fires a blast at the belt completely destroying it and all of its weapons. The castle instantly cleans it up and it says, "L, please refrain from damaging me any further."
"Will do," says L before he falls back a bit causing him to close his eyes for a brief instant.
He opens his eyes and they're back to normal. He wonders, "What happened? Where's that evil Jeremiah look-a-like?"
In L's mind, Suerama is standing right in the middle of nowhere. He starts walking while saying, "I wonder where I'll find my information?"
He continues walking and sees a door. "I figured there would be more here. I guess this must be the underused section of his mind."
He opens the door and sees a vast library of information. Suerama says, "That's more like it."
L is currently walking through the hallway on edge expecting Suerama to strike at anytime. He's wondering why he hasn't ambushed him yet. Suddenly, the event of him jumping into the Cauldron after Kokonoe flashes through his head. He wonders, "Why did that flash into my head?"
Suerama heard the thought as if it were echoing and says, "It looks like whatever I look up will show itself to him. According to this, he jumped into some sort of cauldron bringing him to a boundary. I don't know what this boundary is or how a cauldron can take someone to something's borders, but there must be a logical explanation. I need further information."
L is breathing heavily. He can tell his flashback wasn't normal. He suspects Suerama had something to do with it but L still has no idea what. Suerama goes deeper into the library of his mind and finds a book about the Boundary. He gets it and opens it.
Suddenly, L starts thinking about the Boundary and all the known information about it. He wonders, "Why am I thinking of the Boundary right now? He's obviously probing me for information right now. But how is he doing it?"
Suerama heard all of that and says, "Wouldn't he like to know, now would he? Of course, that would be no fun to tell him how I did it. According to this, the Boundary is some other dimension that is very dangerous to the human mind. That means he and this Kokonoe person are indeed from another dimension. But question is where does Jeremiah fit into all of this? I better look further into this."
L is at a corner of the hallway and is leaning by the wall making sure that Suerama isn't there. Suerama has gone quite far into the library until he found a book about Jeremiah. L suddenly gets a headache and starts remembering stuff about Jeremiah. The specific tidbits involve Jeremiah's time in the Blazblue world. He then pieces together the specific tidbits of what suddenly flashed into his head. He realizes that Suerama was in his mind. Suerama thinks, "Well that isn't good. He found me out. Luckily, I got all the information I needed." L aims his gun at his head and shoots himself. He falls over and Suerama says, "Did he just…?" L gets up and screams in pain, "Whose bright idea was that? That was the worst idea ever!"
"What the heck just happened? How is he still alive?" exclaims Suerama.
"My hair, my hair!" screams L as he scrambles to make sure his hair is all there.
"What is this idiot?" asks Suerama.
"I can hear you, you know," echoes L's voice.
"What, but how?"
L appears right next to him and replies, "I'm a lot smarter than you think. I could hear you the whole time, that or the gunshot to my head has made me loopy," states L.
"I'm betting on the second one," says Suerama.
"Plus, it probably helped that I was at the bookshelf across from you," says L pointing to that exact bookshelf.
"Well, that would explain a lot. However, I know you're lying about being able to hear me because I could hear your thoughts echoing in this barren wasteland that you call a head," states Suerama.
"Is it truly barren or were you in the inactive part of it? That part of my mind probably wasn't seeing much activity because I was too focused on eliminating you," replies L.
"Well, you'll have to wait for another time 'cause I am done here," says Suerama before leaving L's mind and blasting a hole through the ceiling in order to escape.
L shakes off the weariness and notices the new hole in the ceiling. He curses himself for letting him get away. Jeremiah, Austin, and Kokonoe walk from the corner of the hallway and Jeremiah sees the hole in the ceiling.
"What happened?" asks Jeremiah.
L aims his gun at Jeremiah only to put it down. He puts it away and says, "You had a visitor that looks exactly like you."
"Oh, Evil Jeremiah. That explains the hole in the wall a bit further back," says Austin.
"Wait. There's an evil me?" wonders Jeremiah.
"Well, shit. Just what we needed. Some evil psychopath that looks exactly like him," says Kokonoe as she points at Jeremiah.
"You got quite a foul mouth, don't you? I'm starting to wonder if those memories I saw earlier are false," says Jeremiah.
"Oh, they were real. If they weren't, then that same method wouldn't have worked on me," states Kokonoe.
"Somebody could have implanted those false memories into you as well," argues Jeremiah.
"If you can find a scientific explanation to prove that, than I'll believe you. But what do you have to go on but a whim and a feeling?" counters Kokonoe.
"Oh, I'll show you. Austin, take me to my lab. I do have a lab, right?" replies Jeremiah.
"Yes, you do and I'm not your bloody servant," says Austin.
"Then, will you please take me to my lab? Besides, it was very obvious that you weren't my servant," asks Jeremiah.
"Alright then, but only because I find this amusing," states Austin before leading him to his lab.
L is scratching his head and wondering, "What the hell just happened?"
A few minutes later, Jeremiah and Austin open up the lab doors to see seithr flow out of it. Jeremiah wonders, "What is this black mist?"
Suddenly, memories of the lab accident that brought him to the Blazblue world along with certain memories having to do with seithr. Then, random memories of his time in the Blazblue world start following in the flood.
It stops and Jeremiah says, "Seithr, another dimension, what the heck is going on?"
"What's seithr?" asks Austin.
"It's that black mist. It usually stays low to the ground, but too much can be highly toxic. However, small amounts of it should be perfectly fine," says Jeremiah as he walks into the lab. He looks around and sees a bunch of broken glass. Jeremiah kneels down and picks up one of the shards. He looks at it and says, "There seems to be a bit of a time gap in the memories. This glass has only been broken recently, but I was in that other dimension for a few months, give or take a year."
"Well, that's unusual," says Austin.
"On the bright side, this helps support my theory of fake memories. But it's not enough to completely prove it. First, I have to check the dimensional temporal sync rate. Without that, I won't be able to prove anything with this broken glass," says Jeremiah.
"Why do you even think that those memories are fake, anyway?" asks Austin.
"Because there is no way I could have liked a foul mouth like her," states Jeremiah as he walks over to the computer.
"Ah, so this is what this is about. You got yourself a lady friend and now you're trying to hide it," says Austin.
Jeremiah blushes and exclaims, "I never said that"
"Deny it all you like, it still won't help you," replies Austin.
"Whatever, believe what you like. You're lucky I can't kill you right now because you're vital to the memory restoration process," says Jeremiah a bit annoyed.
"Activating memory restoration process," says Jeremiah as a helmet was placed on him.
It strapped itself to him and fired up completely electrocuting him. He sits in his chair, completely singed, and says dazed, "Why did I make that process so painful?"
"I don't know. I didn't even know you had such a system," says Austin.
"It's a precautionary measure designed to help me recover any lost memories using historical files on the computer along with a few other more personal files. That was the first time it was ever used, so the process was flawed. But it worked; I got my memory of almost everything in this dimension back. However, it's still fragmented about that other dimension because the computer has no files on it, other than the time it overlapped with ours. It's obvious now that those memories of the other dimension aren't fake because I got transported there by accident. My memory pieced together what happened after the process got completed. Which means, I owe Kokonoe an apology. Or I could create a fake scientific explanation as to why it could be fake," explains Jeremiah.
Austin grabs Jeremiah and starts dragging him out of the lab. Jeremiah says, "Fine, I'll apologize."
A few minutes later, Jeremiah is standing in front of Kokonoe. He says, "Well, due to a new revelation, I owe you an apology. I found out the hard way that those memories of that other dimension were real. So, sorry about that."
"It's alright. Besides, assuming we're both scientists, that was a typical scientific debate about the endless possibilities of the world, or worlds in this case. (She puts high-tech handcuffs on Jeremiah.) But, if you really want to make it up to me, you'll be coming with me," says Kokonoe a bit menacingly before dragging off Jeremiah screaming to who knows where.
He then realizes, "Wait a minute. These are my handcuffs." He tries shapeshifting his hands out of there only to fail. "What the…?"
"I figured you'd try one of those fancy powers of yours, so I borrowed some Citanite from that L guy," explains Kokonoe.
"Figures. You're not one to miss details like that," says Jeremiah.
"But you are and sadly so am I. Luckily, this was a big detail," says Kokonoe on their way to wherever it is.
"Well, those two really go at each other," states L.
"You can tell they were made for each other," says Austin.
They can hear Jeremiah's screams echoing down the hallway.
Over the course of the next few days, Jeremiah has mostly been working on modifying his portable time machine so he could send L and Kokonoe back to their own dimension. However, the day after their initial arrival Jeremiah gave Kokonoe a necklace that also works as a portable censorship machine. There was much teasing at first about it until they saw its primary function. During these past few days, Suerama has also been keeping a close eye on Jeremiah's activities. He's just waiting for the right opportunity to strike. And it looks like that time is almost upon us.
"Ok, the modifications to my Time Sphere, which is much better than just calling it a portable time machine, is complete. I wonder why I didn't just originally name it the Time Sphere in the first place?" wonders Jeremiah.
"We can wonder about your naming enigma later. Question is, does it work?" asks Kokonoe.
"It should, in theory. But, I am very confident in my calculations," states Jeremiah.
"But don't your time machines usually..." says Austin before Jeremiah hits him on the head and says, "Be quiet Austin."
"Well, shouldn't we be going?" asks L.
"Yes, you should. I already set it up to where you'll only appear a day after where I think you disappeared at. Luckily, L helped me figure that out by telling me how much time passed after I disappeared," says Jeremiah as he hands the Time Sphere to Kokonoe.
"So, I'm guessing I just hit the enter button to start it up?" asks Kokonoe.
"Yes, that is correct," says Jeremiah.
"Will you be coming with us too? After all, you made quite an impact on our world from what I could remember," says Kokonoe.
"I'm pretty sure your memory will return as soon as you wander around a bit in familiar surroundings. As for me, I'm staying here. Somebody got to protect this place and besides I've been in your world for months, it's time I readjust to mine," says Jeremiah.
"You should just go. After all, you don't want your lady friend to be lonely. Besides, I'm going with them," says Austin.
"As I told you, she's not my girlfriend and I'm not even going to try and stop you. That would be futile," states Jeremiah.
"Then, wouldn't resisting me also be futile?" questions a voice from above.
They look in the direction of the voice and see Suerama. He levitates down and Jeremiah replies, "No. In fact, defeating you is part of a balanced breakfast and I haven't had any breakfast yet."
"I see, but I'll take that orb." says Suerama as his eyes glow red and the Time Sphere floats to him.
When the sphere lands in his hand, a gust of wind suddenly blows by and the sphere suddenly vanishes from his hand. Jeremiah is now behind him with the Time Sphere in his hand. "If you want this sphere, you'll have to take it out of my cold, dead hands."
"I'll be happy to arrange that, but I'm not paying for the funereal," says Suerama as he turns around and a red sphere appears in his hand and he fires a powerful blast. Jeremiah dodges it at lighting speed and it hits the wall completely vaporizing. Turrets come out of the other wall and aim at Suerama. He forms a sword of condensed darkness and slices them off the wall. He chases after Jeremiah.
He catches up and Jeremiah states, "I thought those turrets would have at least given you a little trouble."
"And that is where you thought wrong," says Suerama as they turn a corner.
Jeremiah goes down a secret passage in the floor that automatically opens but it could not close fast enough to throw off Suerama.
"Nice save, but you still can't catch me," says Jeremiah as he speeds up.
"We'll see about that," says Suerama as he does the same.
L, Kokonoe, and Austin are still in the same room. L and Kokonoe are wondering how the heck they can go that fast while Austin was thinking, "Here we go again."
Hoverboards appear next to them and the computer says, "Would you like to test out the new Turbo hoverboards in order to fight Suerama at high speed?"
Austin asks, "Who's Suerama? I only saw Jeremiah's evil side."
L hopes on a hoverboard and speeds through the hallway.
"I'm pretty sure the computer meant the evil guy that looks like Jeremiah," says Kokonoe before she hops on one herself and speeds through the hallway herself.
"Why not?" says Austin before he hops on the last one and speeds through the hallway.
A hatch opens up outside and both Jeremiah and Suerama come out of it, both of them right next to each other. They suddenly stop and jump in opposite directions. Jeremiah put the Time Sphere in his other hand, and their hands became engulfed in flames and they both performed their Fire Punch attacks. They hit each other in the face and both got knocked back. Jeremiah started spinning rapidly while superheating the air in order to form a fire tornado. Suerama started spinning as well while pulling water vapor in order to form a water tornado. The tornadoes collided and sparks could be seen in between them. The tornadoes dispersed and Suerama used Fire Strike, a power which involves making a whip of fire right afterwards. Jeremiah jumps right above it and a bunch of rocks suddenly formed a boot shape around his leg. Jeremiah kicks Suerama with the rock boot and he falls down to the side. This attack is known as Earth Kick. Jeremiah lands and Suerama jumps back up and an earthquake suddenly happens creating a huge crack in the crust of the Earth. And this was one of his powers and not him being fat. Jeremiah jumps to the side but the crack gets wider. Suerama runs right behind Jeremiah and Jeremiah tries another Earth Kick on him, and fails. Suerama uses Fire Strike and knocks Jeremiah down on his butt. Suerama walks up to him and tries to take the Time Sphere. They enter a bit of a tug-of-war for it to prevent the other from getting it but Suerama comes out victorious.
"And now with this, I will find a brand new world to conquer," gloats Suerama as he gets ready to press the button. Suddenly, a wire wraps around it and reels it away from him.
"Sorry, but I got a problem with evil dictators like you," says L.
"And I don't care if you got a nervous disorder, you got no rights to meddle in my affairs," replies Suerama.
"When you go into my mind, then it becomes my business," says L.
"I think you don't understand business. But, if you're so intent on getting in my way, I'll just have to end your life. Simple as that," states Suerama.
Suerama gets ready to blast L when he's suddenly hit by something knocking him to the ground. He looks at what hit him and it turns out to be Kokonoe. "I never would have guessed she could hit that hard."
Jeremiah gets up and says, "You know. You talk too much," says Jeremiah as his hand becomes engulfed in flames and he punches Suerama in the gut.
Austin just arrives and Suerama gets up. He coughes up some blood and says, "You think this is over. You forced me to use the most clinched trick in my book."
"And what would that be?"asks Jeremiah.
He suddenly appears behind Kokonoe, grabs her by her hair and arms, and says, "If you want her alive, give me the Time Sphere."
"You do realize as soon as you let go, she'll whoop your butt?" questions Jeremiah.
"If she tries anything, or if you do, I'll blast her at point-blank range. I'll be able to survive the resulting explosion, but I'm not so sure about her. And if I need an extra appendage, I'll just shapeshift me one," threatens Suerama.
Jeremiah thinks, "I'm pretty sure Kokonoe can survive an explosion or two, but a blast at point-blank range is a whole different story. Sure he'll take some damage from the resulting explosion, but Kokonoe will take a lot more thanks to the blast. I only have one choice. He'll probably take Kokonoe anyway as leverage, but it will take away any immediate reason for killing her."
"Give him the Sphere," says Jeremiah.
L tosses Suerama the Sphere and he catches it making sure to quickly resecure Kokonoe's arms before she could try anything. He says, "Ahh. I thank you for your cooperation. I'll still be taking her though, just in case. Don't bother coming after me," says Suerama as he hits "Enter". There was a sudden flash of light and Suerama vanishes.
"It's not over yet Suerama. I still got one more time machine I can modify," says Jeremiah to the air.
(Location: Blazblue world) (Time: 2200)(Location: Blazblue world)
Suerama and Kokonoe materialized in the middle of nowhere. "So this is your world," says Suerama.
