Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.
Also, while I trashed Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths in the last chapter, I do love the Crisis on Infinite Earths from the DC Comics, the original one, now that one was epic. A few elements of it will be used here.
And thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer for his help again, as well as Stand with Ward and Queen for a suggestion.
Enjoy.
Guest1320: Thank you for the review, and indeed it is. Glad it was nice and yes, all should enjoy themselves for now. Glad to hear it. Glad that sounds interesting, and yes, they sure would make the TVDverse people weary. Seasons 1-5 were the better ones, though I disliked some things about Season 5 due to religious reasons. I stopped around Season 8. I will take a break. Glad to hear it and stay safe.
Guest 1: Thanks for the review and glad it was great. Actually, this chapter will be the combination since here is when the mess begins. No spoilers, and for Smallville Monitors, there is a plan for them. Indeed it is.
THWA: Thanks for the review and glad its good. Glad to hear it.
Kwisatz Haderach: Thank you for the review. Glad those were nice. LOL! Poor Terry there, HA!
Guest 2: Thanks for the review. Glad it was nice. Oh yeah, the OG version will come here, though he's trying to destroy Universes, not attack random Cosmic Beings, they will go the more they come in his way.

"In the beginning there was only one. A single black infinitude. Then the infinitude found release, and, finally, the darkness broke, filling it with life."
A lotus was shown rising from a blue navel, as a voice spoke "Eä", and the infinitude broke and many Earths in their different Universes were formed.
"With the Multiverse. Every existence multiplied by possibility. And spread out before Space and Time in infinite measure. Civilizations rose and fell. And rose again across reality's grasping expanse. Life. A precious gift persevering in the face of every obstacle, until, finally, the Age of Heroes was born."

I have planned, there are those who say I have schemed, but the time for preparation has passed. The Crisis is now upon us all. Everything dies. You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun, our galaxy and, eventually, the Universe itself, then finally the Multiverse. This is simply how things are. It's inevitable. And I accept it. What I will not tolerate - what I find unacceptable - is the unnatural acceleration of that end. Which is why I did what I did to protect it all, even if I manipulated people... as the untimely end of everything is what we now face."
Uatu the Watcher was once more watching his projections, looking quite grim when Mar-Novu the Monitor appeared behind him.
"Why are you here?" Uatu inquired, as their last meeting had not been a pleasant one for very obvious reasons.
"I thought you'd leave what I did behind, it was just a necessary test", Mar-Novu shrugged, Uatu scoffing mentally while Mar-Novu continued. "Besides, people like us are above those kinds of things or emotions."
"Indeed", Uatu said in a neutral tone, trying not to really do anything to Mar-Novu for now.
"Though some of my allies like The Powers That Be and the Elders got one-upped by this new Council of Godheads that has popped up", Mar-Novu then added, Uatu's smirk unseen to him as he sighed. "Seems like I'll have to try something else there."
"Even you can't win all the time, Mar-Novu", Uatu told him, which was him being generous because Mar-Novu was really just losing most of the time actually.
"No, I can't", Mar-Novu actually bought it, to Uatu's mental amusement while he then noted one world in Uatu's projections and realized. "And so it begins."
Only, Uatu the Watcher, his tone very grim, with his white eyes looking empty, corrected the Monitor with his very next words. ""You are wrong, Monitor...it has already begun."
And the two of them knew that no matter happened, this time the entire Multiverse really was in for a ride, of the horrible kind, and it really was a burning question if they'd survive or not.
Earth-98
Henry was on his desk when he looked up to see Paige standing there. "Oh, hey."
"Hey", Paige smiled at him as they shared a quick kiss. "Remember lunch?"
"Right, yep, just wait a minute", Henry told her as he stacked some files, then got up as they walked out hand-in-hand, Paige also having her purse in her other hand, when suddenly, everything seemed to shake.
"What the hell?" Henry said as the two of them looked up, and to their, the skies had now turned red.
"Okay, now that is…" Paige trailed off, not having any words for that. "What is that?"
The other people too looked up at the red skies in horror, pointing at those.
Paige's phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello, Phoebe?"
"Paige, I just had a vision. The skies turned red. A bug man was there too. Then everything was gone! Come back here!"
"Well, the skies are red", Paige noted before saying. "We're coming!"
She cut the call as Henry realized. "Looks like it has all officially gone to Hell now."
"Yeah", Paige told him, grasping Henry's hand as they orbed away from there.
The two appeared back into the Halliwell Manor, where Wyatt and Chris were both crying, Piper and Leo trying to comfort them as Phoebe looked panicked, Coop rubbing her back, and Phoebe also held the Book of Shadows.
"That bug thing is nowhere in the book either!" Phoebe snapped, the two sharing a look.
"Dad!" Piper suddenly remembered. "We need to-"
"Sure", Paige said, orbing away.
Victor was watching the red skies when Paige orbed next to him. "Paige?"
"We need to go", Paige told him as she grasped him and orbed him away.
The two were back in the Halliwell Manor where Piper and Phoebe hugged their dad tightly, him hugging them back as Leo noted. "We need to get Darryl and his family as well."
"Billie too", Piper realized. "Let's-"
Suddenly, Sandra orbed in front of them. "I'm afraid that's not an option anymore."
"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked her. "We need to-"
"The Universe is about to be destroyed", Sandra said grimly as all of them shared looks of horror. "You don't have time anymore. All of you, just leave right now."
Piper started. "But-"
"Leave! Your survival shall be important for the Multiverse, please go!" Sandra said, and the Charmed Ones saw that she had genuine concern for them in her eyes, unlike the other Elders.
Reluctantly, Coop held out the reality breacher, nodding at Sandra with tears in his eyes, the others doing the same as she nodded back. All of the Charmed Ones and their husbands had tears, while Victor was confused. Then, Coop went into portal, with Piper gesturing Victor to go in as well, and he did.
Then went in Phoebe holding the Book of Shadows, followed by Paige and Henry, and then Piper and Leo went into it, holding their babies while the portal closed.
Sandra orbed away once more.
The Elders were sitting together as Sandra appeared between them, looking at them sadly. "Our Universe goes, and us with it. I guess its punishment for trying to manipulate our Champions."
None of them responded, realizing Sandra was right as the anti-matter wave swept in, disintegrating all of them, and the rest of the Universe too.

"This is it. The end of the path", Bucky muttered, sharing a grim look with Steve when suddenly a portal opened, and they turned to see the Charmed Ones stagger in, with their husbands, father and the two babies, and behind them, they all saw the anti-matter wave consume it all just as Coop closed the breach.
"In the name of Zeus", Hercules whispered in horror, speaking for all of them.
"I thought I'd seen the worst destruction, I had not", Surfer said sadly.
The Charmed Ones were in tears as Steve walked to them, looking at all in sympathy. "I'm sorry."
"Our world….its gone", Piper started crying. "Darryl…..his family….Billie….all of them….."
Leo hugged her for comfort, their children crying too, but he was in tears himself.
"I just had a vision….of red skies and a bug man…then it was gone, and then the red skies happened", Phoebe said, her voice husky as she struggled not to break down like her sister, not that she was succeeding.
Coop staggered and fell onto a chair, while Paige fell to her knees.
"So, our whole world….." Victor trailed off as it sank in for him. "Its all gone?"
"Yes", Henry nodded sadly. "Its all gone."
