Meanwhile
Chained to a wall, Mouse Protector could see the Nine dragging her arch-rival ravager into the warehouse. The whole time, Ravager was screaming, "we had a deal, we had a deal!" The hero had known that her nemesis had been foolish and evil, but to seriously consider contracting with the Slaughterhouse Nine? The most infamous band of murderous super villains in North America? The hero would have shaken her head had she not been utterly paralyzed by some drug the murderous child-tinker Bonesaw had crafted.
Ravager had been chained to the wall, and the Tinker in question stood in the middle of the room, looking at the bound heroine and villainess and bouncing in excitement like the young child she was. The rest of the Nine were assembled behind her, prepared to observe the mad surgeon create her latest masterpiece when a sudden outward explosion of malevolent energy erupted not far from where the insane child stood.
Mouse Protector had been blinded by the flash, but minutes later her sight returned to her and she saw multiple charred skeletons. A monstrous six legged one at the end where Crawler had been, and more humanoid ones, heavily modified, stood where the other members of the Nine had stood-the only exception a set of chard and blackened shell in the rough shape of Mannequin, and no sign at all of The Siberian. Whatever had caused the explosion had left a mark, as some sort of Warp in space itself floated where the explosion began.
Briefly, if only in her thoughts, the Hammy Hero broke character to wonder what the fuck just happened.
*Elsewhere in the Universe*
A man with strange wings and silvered hair stood, staring at a warp in space-time. He asked, "What the fuck just happened?"
Another man-a demon rather, tall and with long red hair, replied simply: "I have no idea."
The red haired demon began to walk away, only to be interrupted by the other man. "And where the Hell are you going?"
"Home," the demon replied. "I'm bored now."
The winged man stomped, "and who the Hell are you to get bored fighting the Ultra Invincible Gig!"
The red haired Demon turned to face the so proclaimed Gig and declared in response "The Most Badass Fricken Overlord Zetta reserves the right to get bored whenever he feels like it! We've been fighting for hours and I can't even remember why."
"Because you stole my hot pod you piece of shit," Gig replied before Charging the Overlord. The two major badasses of the universe continued to do battle for several more hours for that and other trivial reasons, before getting bored and going home.
