The Founders (Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed), and now, Tracking Error (Convergence Station), has given the One Reincarnated Army Corps. team (O.R.A.C.) some of the updates needed.

Spoilers from included and/or represented works abound. Please read this fiction carefully. *Gyre eye!*

"Maybe find me on Techstream, log in at Mijo Miho, check out all my true-crime, beauty and lifestyle content. Be sure to like, comment and subscribe, and don't pay your rent." *Gyre eye!*

hangs up*

"There's still hope, Boss!" Linka exclaimed. "We could be rescued, out of the cell, and get out!"

"And we've met some... alien." Glimmer responded.

"Alright, we have finally got a way to escape!" Matthew excited.

"But someone must teleport us!" Na'el replied. "Oh, maybe the princess could help..."

A few guards passed the cell and looked around, making sure that the inmates like the Founders aren't even hinting anything as far as jailbreaking.

"Phew, we hanged just in time." Nikol is relieved.

"C'mon, you sparky!" Glimmer accidentally did her flame.

Cue the electrocution.

"Ugh... That hurts!" Na'el complained.

"Don't be impulsive, kid... I mean... daughter?" Future Rex replied.

"Huh?" Glimmer heard it.

Meanwhile, in the Night City...

"Well, this should work..." Charlotte messing with the gizmo she stole. "Oh..."

And then suddenly, she found out with the gizmo that the game world...

"Destroyed. That Bruce Wayne did it."

Cue Angelique and the love interests gasped.

"Let's see what else can we get from these gizmos..." Charlotte kept rigging.

Soon enough, the princess unlocked the database and checked the infos...

"Wear the gizmo like I'm doing. Even spares." Said Charlotte. "Oh, look at that shit. Some intels about the false SMG0, and some from TDt31, some from... wait..."

"What?" Asked the rest.

"Cell RNFL-X3000! It's the Founders!" Charlotte found out. "Their ghosts and Shulk and Rex were all captured and imprisoned!"

"So they must have set up the Mobius amphitheater just to capture all of them." O.M.A.C. confirmed. "Eye don't see any other possibility, based on what we've found."

"Now we just need to locate the cell and the place..." Charlotte continued. "Once we successfully pinpointed the location, we can use the Portal Device."

"And since they're in the mastermind's territory, it's safe to say that we can-" Angelique.

"Yeah, we will find out the mastermind behind the murder and expose that Project Mobius." Charlotte agreed. "We're going to need help locating-"

"Want some help?" An elderly man in dark, draconic armor appeared.

"Isn't this... the Final Knight?" O.M.A.C. noticed. "Am eye seeing... familiar things?"

"Duke Thomas. From the Dark Multiverse." The man introduced himself. "I come from a world destroyed just like any worlds there. Barbatos used the Xth metal as a trap, dooming the Justice League I knew. And they destroyed my multiverse, that little corner of the actual Dark Multiverse I roamed."

"You're the hero of the Dark Multiverse? You came from Earth-Metal?" Charlotte responded.

"I have ventured for eons now, and it's only recently that my age starts catching up to me. I can still do my thing though." The Final Knight affirmed. "I need some catching up to your input, the rumored villainess."

"Well, you've found the right person, my knight." Then the princess explained everything experienced since the family murder, spoilers and all.

"So you're reincarnated into a now-destroyed game world, huh?" The Final Knight questioned the case.

"I am. We're to expose the 'Mobius' and the Order. And say hello to my spoiler sister."

Cue Angelique greeting the Final Knight.

"Can you please keep an eye on the Sinners? And, uh... tell us your story?" Asked Leonardo.

"I have some spare gizmos stolen from some of those from espionage." Cue the Final Knight stocking a few dozens of gizmos of the same type as Charlotte found and Spider-Man 2099 used.

"Eye will connect all the gizmos with each other and the communication device. The upgrade will be ready within our departure." O.M.A.C. suggested. "Let eye setup."

The Final Knight briefly removed his helmet, revealing his now-elderly face. "It's been so long since I beat up that Fuginaut. How far have I come, you can see now."

"Can't waste any more time than O.M.A.C. is spending now. You're in, the Final Knight." Charlotte accepted the arrival.

As O.M.A.C. link the gizmos and the multiversal communication device, the rest of the O.R.A.C. went to bid farewell to the Night City, and prepared for departure.

"Setup is done. Eye has linked all the giz with the communication device." O.M.A.C. then teleported. "My princess, we're now free to depart."

"Why connect when we can use the gizmos to contact the Founder? They're in the Order jail!" Angelique questioned.

"Tracking Error." Allen bluntly replied. "They're not yet abducted by the Order, mind you."

"Also, those grunts doesn't have the more sensitive and secretive infos, as only the more trusted members can access to that, like the cell guards, for example." Leonardo continued his twin brother's response. "Therefore, our best bet is still in the communication device, which now connects to the gizmos on multiversal wireless connection."

"Oh, I see." Angelique scratched her head.

Dante spoke about departure, even though they spewed out only clock ticking sound, as usual.

"They means we're ready to depart." Yi Sang interpreted. "The Mephistopheles has packed all the surviving people of the game world. The rest of you-"

"Yeah, even though Cyttorak gem enhanced this car into being larger on the inside, this has barely enough room for the rest of us." The Final Knight crammed in with the helmet in. Cue the awkward friends.

"Everyone, now stay out of the way!" Marcus warned the Night City.

Both vehicles then speed up and blitzed out of the City of Dreams, leaving the cyberpunks and the physical system. Charlotte nearly forgot her devices and her backpack, so she used the Portal Device to bring all of them into the DeLorean.

"Heh, pretty convenient of it." Marcus commented the Portal Device. "But now that your phones are running low..."

Charlotte once again activated the Portal Device while driving, just to take two power banks to charge a phone each.

"Where are we going next?" Charlotte asked.

"The Retconnian." The Final Knight revealed. "I built the headquarters there. It's your next destination."

Both vehicles throttled ahead to the Retconnian, the land of discontinuity and anti-canon, home to those completely removed from their respective continuities.

Meanwhile, in the Beach...

"What?! The villainess got away again and stole all your gizmos!?" N is enraged at the surviving Realitier.

"But she... she beat us up and... she-" The Realitier explained, only to be beheaded by N.

"Enough." N dismissed.

"That batch failed us. Can we move on from them?" M snidely asked.

N simply nods.

"Anyways, I heard this idea from the Queen herself." M told N about something important. ""A way to connect the Paradox Prism shatter event into Reality Zero through a soon-to-be-stolen Cross Gate, redirecting some of the blast into the Zero Point."

"Is she sure she can pull this off? Is that plan going to benefit us Order?" N questioned. "That elaborate move..."

"She has plans, and we must trust her and obey if we are to survive!" M scolded.

"I am not questioning our loyaly. I am merely questioning the legitimacy of this." N facepalmed. "How do us Order even pull off such elaborate shift leading to what's expected to be a full-blown paradox event horizon that our Queen is looking for?"

"That's the point, Noah." M bluntly replied.

N sighed. "What if it doesn't work the first time around? Or at all, for that matter?"

"Trust me, and trust her. She know what bait we'll be using when the time comes." M reassured N.

"Mio, this better work. We need to ask the Queen about how do we and others pull the shift off." N smirked.

-*Flash forward...*

"Sorceress of Time. Hacker by Evillious-dot-net. The purity from existence." Angela introduced her. "This is Mem-Aleph, or 'Ma' for short."

"I wonder, should I say 'Hello', 'Pleased to meet you?' or 'Welcome back?'" Ma wanted to greet. "Either one is fine, I guess."

"I'm going to the broken Green Hill Zone." The Godmodder revealed. "The Shatterspace to be specific."

"That's kinda new to my catalogue..." Angela heard it.

"Sonic and friends are from Green Hill Zone... mostly." The Godmodder continued. "Now that we know about what just happened, we can approach the space and know what's really going on."

"Couldn't we just... learn the lesson?" UserZero complained. "Sonic gets tricked into filling the speed to break the bedrock, and then afterwards, Shadow goes-"

"Alright, alright, you spoiled the omniverse of the show that incident was recorded in." The Godmodder shut out. "If you make me break the fourth wall for no reason, I will-"

"Don't be an asshole." Gebura and Binah surrounded the Godmodder.

"We already reported our activities this far to the CXA. Let's go." Roland then entered the Cross Gate.

The rest followed, all arriving inside the bedrock, where Sonic and his friends is going against Dr. Robotnik, Eggman... oh wait...

"A Rift Butterfly?" The bookhunter noticed one in front. "How did it..."

"What the...!" Garland realized. "We've arrived to the moment before What we discussed!"

"Nooo!"

At this point, Sonic didn't listen to the warnings, and struck right into the Paradox Prism to prevent Eggman from taking it. This results in an extradimensional explosion, bursting away the friends. Shadows, thanks to Chaos Control provide by the Chaos Emerald, managed to survive the blast. The group and the legion got caught in the blast, including the Rift Butterfly. And since those are all from different realities from the incident...

"No!"

The whole group, the GodCraft Legion, bursted off in the extra paradox that shouldn't have been. The Cross Gate exploded, causing a Reality Wave that shocks the entire mothership, and even all far. It reached Asteria, even encompassing the Zero Point. The resulting shift now took place not only across the Green Hill Zone, but the In-Between and Reality Zero.

The result? The rifts around broke, and the Zero Point got unstable, infected by the power of the Shards. Another Reality Wave, this time from the Zero Point, bursted the island and...

"No... The omniverse... the hypertime... It's... broken!" The Canon Bringers exploded from the shift.

The effect of Shatterspace engulfed the entire omniverse itself, and the magical girl took notice.

-*giggles* "My trap and bait worked flawlessly! What a fool!" The magical girl is satisfied. "With that, it's even easier for me to spread the Anti-Life Equation and bow them all to me!"

"The Shatterspace... no, the Shatterspaces has transcended..." A corrupted Looper reported. "Because the foreign existence interacted with the incident that would already have broken the reality."

-*back to present, after the explanation*

"So we outsource the Rift Butterfly and mislead the Cross Gate, while the Anti-Life carrier releases the former behind the latter?" N questioned.

"That's how you guys do the trick." Cue the Queen with an evil smile. "You start it just before the Prism Shatter. When the Blue Blur accidentally break it."

"So, Sonic breaking and blast, and we shifting and stealth? Ok, my dear Queen." N bowed down.

"This trick will be important in moving forward with Project Mobius." Warned both N and M. "When the times come, you'll accompany and trick those future insurgents. For now, you're dismissed."

"Wait!" Cue M. "We have a reincarnated-as-villainess trying to unravel us!"

"Kill her!" The Queen ordered right away.

"We'll try. Thank you." M bowed.

Both left the throne room went to a nether garden owned by the Order themselves.

"Akuyaku Reijou..."/"悪役令嬢..." N swears. "We will kill you... We will not let you unravel our Mobius future!"

Unbeknownst to them, that would be easier than done before things go south, because the party is closer to the Order than ever before.

In the Retconnian, the place of those who don't truly exist in canon at all...

"This isthe Retconnian, one of my friends' current, true home." The Final Knight introduced the Retconnian. "It contains those who lost their canon status, as well aseverybit of fiction and things that is no longer canon, from every source, both behind and beyond the fourth wall."

"This place is fucking huge, even in multiversal standpoint!" Charlotte gasped at the case study here.

"Everything completely eliminated, annihilated and perfectly erased, by retcons of all kinds, small andlarge. From the history of the Trope Pantheon that rules with the iron-clad tropes, to the dark side of vast paradoxes and minds of the eternal return and back, to even undiscovered corners and natters of reality that were cancelled before it's even done." The Final Knight continued. "All dwelled and resided within this realm. And over time, the friend of mine has managed to gain total mastery of it, keeping all the non-canon eliminates of fiction from breaking out, corrupting the fabric of existence itself."

"I thought this place doesn't exist-" Leonardo commented.

"It doesn't. The only reason we are able to get into here, and I was able to meet the friend is because it's connected to all of existence through the void between realities." The Final Knight replied. "Lately, there are countless dumpsters littered into the entire Retconnian. The cause is from a certain-"

"What?!" The party reacted. "The Zerobreaker war?!"

"You know that war?" The Final Knight heard it.

"A story published in the Night City." Charlotte teleported a book from Night City by Portal Device. "Here, read it."

Cue the Final Knight gets too much surprised in the story. "How accurate this was... who wrote that?"

"A library from another world, co-authored by David Martinez." Charlotte replied.

"This...!" The Final Knight is very, very shocked.

To be continued...
