The tall, silver being stood before Liberty. It raised a hand, and the entire scenery around her changed so quickly. At first, there was a black nothingness, and it went on for awhile. She was falling forever. Her screams were endless, as well. Then, she found herself right outside her house, while it was going up in flames. She cried out for her brothers. "Lynn! Loni!" The door opened, and out came... girl versions of her brothers. "What... What is this?!" Mostly everyone had come out, the way it happened on her earth. The genderbent Lars wasn't among them. She spotted Lincoln and Lynn begin to run down the street. "No! No!" She tried to grab him, but her hands went through him like a ghost. "What the-" She focused her attention back on the others. "No! Get them back! Get-" She realized that no one was actually able to hear her. She walked towards the fire, and stuck her hand through the flames. No pain, no burning. "Oh, my god." Leni was staring at the fire. "No, no, no. You can't-" Liberty yelled at genderbent Loki. "YOU CAN'T LEAVE HER BEHIND. COME BACK FOR HER! SAVE HER!" Liberty tried to slap Lori, but the hand slipped through Lori's face.

The knife bent out of shape. "Oh. I see you've taken that serum, too." She dropped the dented knife. "Damn it. Well, I guess you deserve an explanation. So you'll have it." She walked around the tied Lincoln.

"Okay, so, what you did now, the altering of the timeline, is exactly what I did."

Lincoln was lost. "What do you mean by that?"

She placed her hands on his shoulders. "Its exactly what I mean. I changed it, because some of my brothers were dead. I'm a female version of you. Genderswapped. And all your sisters here are my brothers there. I've always been here, watching you. I know what you've suffered. Trying to save your family, but its useless. Bitch, you've gone soft, creating this fantasy, this... Let's call this... Timeline X. Its being called that, anyways. Hahaha."

She brushed his hair gently. "The brick scar is gone. I know what that means. I know what you changed." She rocked the chair.

Linka was sitting down opposite them, watching in silence. "I want some milk." Liberty stopped, and walked over to Linka.

"Okay, sweetie. Whatever you want."

She poured some milk into a cup, and placed it in the microwave. "It'll be done in a minute."

She turned back to him. "And don't worry about Clyde's body. Although Linka was awake to see me kill him. My mistake."

"I don't get it." Lincoln tried to stand up, but failed miserably. "Why do you want to kill me? Assuming I believe your bullshit, you're only here if this timeline stays the same. Clearly, I don't want to undo this. Apart from one of my sisters dying, it won't make me want to revert this. So, tell me, why do I have to be taken out?"

Liberty pulled another chair, and placed herself across from him. "Because I failed when I did this. Death and tragic still lingered onto us, despite knowing everything that was going to happen. You might do the same, so, to ensure I won't be a ghost again, I have to kill you. It has to be one of us. I already served exactly ten years invisible. Its your time."

The microwave beeped out, letting Linka know the milk was done heating. She let out a happy "Yay" and went towards it.

"I had a clone back there." Liberty had her head turned towards Linka. "His name was Linus. And... Vivian fucking Ventura murdered him. I was so happy to see a younger Linus in my own Timeline X. I know you'd give up your life for her. You, we consider ourselves a living burden. And you want to... die. You'll never acknowledge it, you'll never accept it, but deep inside, you know you want to."

Lincoln was trying harder to break out.

"Don't. You can't get out of that."

"I won't stop trying."

Liberty's giggle was more sinister than that of Dana Hall's. She was clearly not well.

"I saw Linka die, and hell, I saw... Lana, I think was her name, delivering Lori that box. I can understand it. You broke. And you tried to fix it. No, you didn't prevent anything. You delayed the inevitable, is all you did."

Lincoln was still wondering how this otherworldler had arrived onto this earth. "How the fuck did you end up here? There's no denying the theory of the multiverse. Lisa would be ecstatic, if I didn't shoot her." Liberty tapped her chin.

"Ah, the Levi one. To answer your question, I was brought here, as punishment for the changing of the timeline. I set things back to normal, but I had to pay for it." She pointed upwards. "They put me here, for breaking the rules. The second you whipped this fantasy up, they set earth in their sights."

Lincoln began to laugh. "Okay, stop right there. Aliens? Aliens?! That's a pretty nice elaborate story."

"Alright then. It doesn't matter. You'll be dead, and your sisters will be punished, because it always has to be someone!" Liberty's scream startled the little angel.

"Oh... Um..." Liberty's tone lowered down. "I'm sorry..."

She turned to the window. "Thought I could save them all. But no, I've been stripped away from them. I can't ever go home. Before I kill you, I think you should know something. The fire wasn't an accident. I know what really happened that day. I found out who did it, and because everything happened here as I remember it, I have to assume its the same thing."

Lincoln stopped moving about. "That's nonsense! Who would do such a thing? I don't believe it..."

She sighed, putting her hand on the window. "It is true... And I still can't believe it. I really can't. Don't worry, I'll raise Linka like my own. I did this goose chase just to lead you to Lisa and Vince. So you can kill them this time. The final request approved by me. You're welcome."

That's all the motivation he needed. Lincoln managed to free himself, fully lunging at Liberty. She turned quickly at the sound of the falling chains. "NO!" Lincoln threw her out the window headfirst, shattering it completely. Liberty, covered in glass fragments, was cut in multiple places.

Lincoln jumped through the window. "Stay there, Linka."

The scared girl gave a nod.

Liberty made an attempt to crawl away, but was kicked down by him. "You dumb cunt, Linka's never had to see me do such a thing." He pulled her by her hair, and send her head to the ground. "You're right. It has to be one of us. But you were wrong. It won't be me." He dragged her into the sidewalk. "I'll show you mercy this one time, because you have gone through everything I have. Take it, and don't turn around. Keep walking." Lincoln let her hair go. "I don't plan on going back to the original. This version's more better."

Lincoln headed back to his apartment. Liberty was now on her feet, walking away slowly, with everything spinning out of place after the impact. "Time for the contingency..." She went over to a Dodge Challenger, entering it to find a detonator in the glove compartment. Without hesitation, she set it off.

"Don't touch the glass, Bun-Bun."

Linka looked to the bathroom. "What about the backpack?" She pointed to it

"Backpack? What backpack, Bun-Bun?" He approached the bathroom, seeing an open brown backpack, revealing its contents; a pack of explosives. He bolted, trying to get to Linka. Then, everything went horrible in seconds.

Liberty watched the apartment quickly explode. All the windows have shattered. The alarms of nearby cars were set off. Liberty made her way inside the car, smiling eerily.

Lincoln stumbled about, holding onto her. Despite being wrapped and protected in his arms, the girl took severe burn marks. Lincoln carried her out, while the girl's movements were beginning to decrease. And he found out why, after setting her down. A piece of wood was lodged behind her back, and it had burrowed deep enough to wound her heart. "No, no, no... Linka! Bun-Bun!"

The desperate father pulled out the lodged wood from her, but it was already too late. Her eyes stopped moving. He leaned his head close to her mouth, hoping to hear a faint breathing emitting. There was none. He shook the girl's corpse. "My- My sweet Bun-Bun! Wake up! Wake up, please!"

He cried into her shirt. "Please, please don't leave me! Not again! LINKA!"

She was gone. "Don't ever forget... Don't ever forget I love you..."

A car honk came from behind. Lincoln turned to see Liberty flipping him off, and then driving away.

By then, the chase had begun. Lincoln raced to Clyde's Lamborghini. He demanded blood, and was motivated to get it now. Inside, he was beating himself up, for showing mercy to this unknown enemy. Lincoln wasn't afraid to go over the speeding limit. A fast car for fast miles, right?

Liberty wasn't too far in front. She expected him to go after her, but not this soon. Through the New York streets, Liberty looked in the mirror, and stepped on the gas. Cars around honked, and people around began to turn their attention. The Lamborghini was faster, and Lincoln had no issue catching up. Liberty pulled into a parking garage, attempting to head on the top floor. Lincoln stopped right in front of the garage.

If she really is me, then she's going to try and...

The Lamborghini still had several equipment and weaponry in the back. Lincoln turned off the car, racing up the stairs with a SMAW.

Liberty was already taking out a zipline, having already planned her escape. The Challenger was placed, scraped along the wall. Lincoln emerged stealthily. Whether or not she anticipated him comkng with the Lamborghini was unclear. It soon was, when Liberty quickly turned and let several rounds from a pistol fly. He ducked the shots.

"You're good! But I'm better!" She hooked the zipline, all set to go. Lincoln aimed at the car and fired off the rocket. Liberty quickly detached, and jumped to cover. The muscle car flew from the top floor, and into the ground below, making several spins, in a complete blazing wreckage.

Lincoln quickly sprinted to the downed Liberty.

"One chance, I gave it to you. And you fucked it." He pulled her into a chokehold. "I promise this will be quick." Liberty was gasping for air. "Any last words?" She tapped on his arm.

"Guhhh- Gun."

"What, a gun? What gun?"

He looked down at hers. "Enough insanity out of you."

Liberty pulled his arm down enough to complete her sentence.

"I gave her a gun. She's going to kill herself, if she hasn't already. Tick tock, tick tock..."

"What are you on about?"

Her demonic giggles returned again. "She's alive... She's alive and back in the house. You have to go, right now. Hurry..."

He kneed her. "Who are you talking about?! Linka's dead! You killed her! You-" He dropped her. Liberty was coughing heavily.

"I was hoping she made it... Now I'm mad! You did that... You forced my hand! But maybe-" He pulled her up to his face. "Maybe you can actually save Leni."

AN: LENI LOUD FINALLY RETURNS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

The plan was to always bring her back in this arc.

As for Liberty, her whole story that she explains works so perfectly. The multiverse exists, and everything here will set off a chain reaction of "OH MY GOD" arcs.

You've seen three villains so far. The final one will appear next chapter, and boy, may you ever be astonished to see him.
