Chapter 28: And Now the Moment You've All Been Waiting For!
Jenna, Skye, Robert and Trent walked back into the room that moment in time to find Ben laughing his head off.
"Ben?" Skye asked the semi-dreamlander.
Ben fell out of his chair and was now laughing on the ground, or ROTFLMHO in internet-talk.
"Get a freaking grip of yourself, man!" Robert rushed over to Ben, and picking him up by the shirt, slapped him clear across the face. This only caused him to die down a little, prompting Robert to do it another two times. "Ben!" He yelled at his now sober friend, "Stop it and explain this!"
"Glad to!" Ben had red marks showing on his face, but he was as happy as ever. Trent, meanwhile, was burying his face in his clawed hands.
Robert let Ben go, who graiciously waited until everyone sat back down. "So. . ." Ben started.
There was a knock at the door.
"AAAAAARGH!" Robert yelled and ran to open the door. "WHAT DO YOU-- King Bowser sir! What a pleasure of you to drop in! Please come in and have a seat!"
Bowser lumbered in through the door and took a look around the room. "What's all this then?" He asked in his usual bellowing voice.
"A meeting." Sean said, "Come in and sit down. We're just about to hear the Meaning of Life."
"Or pretty much close to it." Danielle said in response, "And frankly I don't want another interruption."
"Oh." Bowser looked at all the new faces, namely the ones who answered him, "So could you like, explain it from the top?"
Everyone groaned. "Work with what you know." Robert said, "We can't have any more distractions."
Ben cleared his throat. "Now. . ." He started again, "As I was about to say, is. . ."
Another knock came to the door.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Robert yelled at the top of his lungs, and he ran for the door again, "WHAAAAAAAAT?"
A koopa guard answered, "We've just recived word that the one named Phil has left on his own to seek Mario. . ."
"YESTERDAY'S NEWS!" Robert yelled again, "NOW GO AWAY!!"
The koopa left, and Robert stood at the door a few seconds to claw in a 'Do not Disturb' sign on the door. Then he proceeded back to his seat.
"Umm. . ." Tad said, "I have to go to the bathroo-"
"HOLD IT!" Robert shouted at Tad.
"Uh, now. . ." Ben said. Everyone glanced at the door before he proceeded. Satisfied that no sound was emitted, the all looked at Ben again while he continued.
"If there are no further inturruptions," Ben stated, "I'll explain everything one by one. It seems as though everything bad happened ten years ago to the day we arrived and the worlds merged. The question is: What went wrong?"
"Simple." Robert said, "There were these guys that diss-"
"But why?" Ben asked, "An unfathomable coincidence? No, but it seems as though someone had a role to play in all of it."
Jenna could hear the X-Files theme playing in the back of her head. "How do you know?"
"Let's look at the facts." Ben got up out of his seat and went to the blackboard in the back of the room. Picking up a peice of chalk, he started an outline.
"We'll start from the beginning. Ten years ago." Ben made the appropriate markings on the board. "While we're at it, let's label 'Now'." Ben did that. The Board was divided in half, between Ten Years Ago and Now.
"I'll list all the 'games' incorporated in all of this." Ben made a list down the left side of the board. Then he wrote in a lot of facts and figures to them, resulting in this:
Ten Years Ago
Zelda ???
Pokémon Reasearch Doctor
Mario Princess Peach
Kirby Starkeeper
Metroid Samus Aran
Star Fox General Pepper
"The board is as of yet incomplete." Ben said, "But we can draw an obvious conclusion. Let's look at some details."
Ben turned in the direction of the table again, "I would like to ask the six of you who were brought here what exactly the qualities of this world are."
"It's bits and peices of all the other worlds combined." Robert said, since that was basically all he knew.
"Good, good," Ben said, as he wrote that on the board, "Continue. . ."
"Well. . ." Danielle said, "I don't know if this constitutes as a univers attribute, but Hagges and Pelaufin acted almost the same in aspects of gaining power."
Ben wrote 'Duplicated Minds'.
"Oh, yeah!" Skye said, even though he wasn't one of the invited, "The monsters that keep attacking when there's some specific goal in our mind!"
"The really weird way that those brainless things have no desire to live, even when they're clearly outgunned." Quickeye interjected.
"The quick travel time." Trent said.
"I think that's enough to make a point. . ." Ben finished.
"Oh!" Jenna verbalized her brainstorm, "I just remembered, I noticed that this world just looks unnatural. . ."
"It does?" Ben asked.
"I noticed that too." Danielle said.
"Must be a girl thing." Robert mouthed to Ben.
"I'll. . . take your word for it." Ben said. He wrote all those under the 'Now' section
"And. . . 'now'." Ben said, "This planet. . ."
"Is huge. . ." Lisa started.
"Not only that. . ." Ben wrote 'huge world' under 'Now', "But it also wasn't like this a few days ago."
"I knew that." Jenna said.
"BUT!" Ben made a drastic comment to build suspense, "What you don't know is. . ." Ben wrote up a calulation on the board, "Now I know you don't understand that, but, it says that it sould be impossible. No amount of energy could unite all these worlds together so cleanly within even a day, unless. . ."
"Unless?" Robert asked, leaning forward in his seat.
"Unless." Ben seemed to finish his sentece there, as he drew a diagram, "Energy from all six universes were used. The amount of energy required to move the mass of an entire planet, and a chunk of Sector Z, over a dimention would require. . . well, almost the entire universe. So what I'm saying is, the entire rest of the universe was 'used', converted to energy, to transport this small amount of space over."
"So. . . this is the only space. . . in space?" Fox asked.
"How then did Pelaufin contact HQ on Corneria?"
"He didn't." Ben said, "The ploy was planned from the start. See, there was just a little too much energy needed, basically the entire universe, to move the planets, including the planets. So, there was a copy made of this planet from another universe. . ."
"How many of these are there?"
"As many as nessicary," Ben said without missing a beat, "But the copy has all the nessessities in it, exept for, of course, people."
"What does that mean?"
"The planet looks the same, sounds, the same, tastes the same, but there's actually no animal life. It seems as though there was a glitch made in the transformation, and all life was erased."
"But why couldn't the planet have just been copied and pasted in the first place?" Fox asked.
"Calculation error." Ben said mystically, "As I was saying, new life had to be programmed. But there was basically no energy left in this universe, so it had to be brought over.
"But I thought it took tons of energy. . ." Peppy said.
"It does. But it seems as though a technological 'wormhole' was made. This device is very unstable, causeing the most random things do happen across universes. It was set to bring people over to this universe, to be reprogrammed. Now, theoretically, all this was supposed to happen ten years ago, from a lot of very similar universes, all except for a few lifeforms, which, miraculously, survived the original universe switch." He pointed to the 'Then' column of the board.
"What do you mean 'random'?" Trent asked.
"Random, as in, the crator had no control over the 'on' switch. But there are things that are possible, such as, oh, let's say a 600' radius circle, in which when all lifeform occupants simultaneously switch off the electronic devices that they are using. . ."
Everyone's jaw dropped open at this.
"So what in the world in this 'wormhole' device doing sucking us across universes?"
"Someone planted it." Ben said, "Someone with a whole lot more technology that we might ever dream of in a hundred thousand years. Someone that's got a whole lot of resources on hand that's putting together these universes for his own purposes."
"Which are. . .?" Robert asked.
Ben lookead at all of them, "Honestly, I thought you would have figured it out by now. It's just a game."
