As the DeLorean and the Mephistopheles reaches the Retconnian HQ, the story of Zerobreaker war caught the Final Knight off guard at the accuracy of the matter.
"This book clearly depict the whole war with insane detail, especially for how big and small the book is. And... David Martinez... I know him." The Final Knight found out. "That's the story the friend, Malal, told me in all its glorious details. And that cyberpunk man... He... escaped... death? He..."
"David is glitched in time and brought by the multiversal scientists and a ripperdoc bacl to life. Then he found himself witnessing a draconic takeover nearly two year afterwards, involving thousands of dragons from other realities, all laying the Night City into ruins." Angelique showed up the contents.
-*flashback*
"What the fuck!?"
Various dragons emerged from the crack and started wreaking havoc to the Night City.
"Dragons!?" David then runs away.
He ran down to the street and kept running. However, for almost every path he finds, dragons are targeting him. And he has to keep running to evade the dragons.
However, in the end, he ran into Night City Police Department - specifically in the same place James Norris died - and is cornered by a half of dozen dragons.
"Shit! I can't! They surrounded me!" David shocked.
Then he noticed the size difference as well as his cybernetics' utility that he used back in his original life. The dragons then breathes fire at David.
-*activates Sandevistan* "Large ass, mister Fire-Mouth!" David quickly dodges and then boost-jump in style. "Too bad, I'm too fast!" *shoots a nearby dragon with his armed cannon (like Maine used to)*
This injured the dragon that took the shot from David. The other dragon there then stopped and looked around, but David escaped and told the police. And he ran away.
"How did the dragons of the fables arrive here?" A police who heard David's reporting. "And wait... David Martinez from Santo is... back!?"
-*flashback ends*
"Oh. My. Verse." The Final Knight is flabbergasted.
"And that's only the start of the final incarnation, out of several which spanned equivalent of over a millennia, and is all contained into this cyberpunk book, as encrypted datas that is visually viewed in the book's screen." Charlotte pointed it out. "Thanks the technology of a possible future. This book has a few thousands of pages, detailing the whole war."
"That'd gonna take months of read it all... Holy shit!" Cue the Final Knight cringing.
"We're almost there." Charlotte looked out. "Your headquarters."
Both vehicles arrived at the HQ, which is inhabited by those without any canon or fanon in their existence whatsoever.
"Those with the fourth-dimensional warp fuckery, here we come!!!" Noel sang out of the window.
"Hey, shush!" Marcus shushed.
"Why?" Cue Noel.
"Don't be too loud outside. Someone could hear us and track us out!" Marcus warned Noel.
"Those who is deader than dead? Fine, Marc, but-" Noel replied-
"Shush! The Order of the Pariah!" Marcus shushed again.
Both vehicles then entered the HQ, which is a colossal geodesic dome made of ruins from former canon, and housing some of those who survived the war. At the center, the lost Chaos God of Anarchy, Malal, is standing at the epicenter.
"Duke Thomas! What have you received?" Malal greeted.
Cue the cheering from the survivors.
"Found one more spare." Allen found the last spare gizmo. "Maybe we should... oh..."
"A Chaos God. From Warhammer 40K." Said the villainess. "Give me the gizmo."
Allen handed Charlotte the gizmo. The vehicles landed near Malal, and the princess steps out.
"I am Princess Charlotte, villainess from a destroyed world. That dark peasant poaing as nanite killed most of my people. And here's my story." *explains what she experienced up until this point*
"Long story short, this is an otaku reincarnated as a villainess, and since she got there because her family's murder, she wants to expose the Order of the Pariah." The Final Knight took the introduction. "Oh, and hwr sister is the heroine of her story. Angelique. The four love interests they both met are Leonardo, Allen, Marcus and Noel. And they're all accompanied by their peoples and the villainess's past life friends."
"And you... wait..." Malal noticed.
"Brother Eye, masquerading in One Man Army Corps. Eye am pleased to meet you, can you introduce us?" O.M.A.C. reacted.
"I am Malal, and I am The One Who Doesn't Exist. The lost Chaos God of Anarchy." Malal introduced himself. "I was erased by a ridiculous copyright interference, and is still trying to return to the canon!"
"Then, you shouldn't exist outside of... here?" Headscratching the love interests.
"This anti-Justice guy used his influence to spread discord within Trope Pantheon, all to fufill his vengeance and insane justice." Charlotte explained a bit of Malal's backstory. "However, he appreciates the Warhammer 40K fans. He also hates Brainiac-"
"Fuck Brainiac! Fuck pre-Crisis!" Malal interrupted.
"Actually, we have a lot infos gathered throughout my search." Charlotte then threw the gizmo to Malal and gave her devices to O.M.A.C. "Log in and check."
Malal absorbs the gizmo, and instantly received tons of infos to himself: Her past life as Akuyaku Reijou, her family's murder, her reincarnation, the game she's reincarnated into (including its guides and spoilers), the world destruction of said game, the infos about One Reincarnated Army Corps. team, the message of Project Mobius, the calls between O.R.A.C. and the Founders of Aionios City and the Tracking Error, and every other infos available is both the electronic devices and the gizmos the team took.
"Oh. My. JUSTICE. Goodness." Malal is overwhelmed.
And there's more: the gizmos has been linked with the communication device and now the devices, and the infos updated to include the backstory of the Final Knight and what O.M.A.C. ever saw after the Zerobreaker.
"Here. Everything eye sent and linked. Everything we know." O.M.A.C. responded.
"There's so much... I can only understand because I'm the god of discontinuity!" Malal gasped for 'air'. "I'm... starting to get it now. I..."
"Who are you?" The friends asked.
"The name's Duke Thomas. I was a sidekick training under Batman, the Bruce Wayne that everyone knows. Until Barbatos the dragon took him as a vessel, and unleashed the Deathwave. I outran it for two years, but failed to save the 52 worlds. So I took the Monitor armory to become the Last Monitor, went back to my original world, Nightwing saved me, and I assembled the final Justice League with all the surviving heroes to fight my now-draconic teacher and his monstrous allies." Explained the Final Knight. "They gave their lifes stopping the monstrous army, leaving me to teleport inside the final Dragon of the End. I cut my teacher off of it, ended the dragon, and cut its skin for my armor and made my last makeover of my multiverse, taking up Nightwing's Parall-Axe for myself. I became the Final Knight, the lone hero of countless twisted worlds from the greater multiverse of mine."
"So..." Angelique then reacted.
"I'm THE Batman. The Last Monitor. Duke Thomas, THE Signal.Everyheroof 52 worlds and everyvillainof two multiverses, alldead. ButI'mnot. As darkness consumed all... I stopped running away. There is no fear left. Or hope. Only the dark and the monsters it hides. And me, left to hunt them through theDark Multiverse...as the Final Knight." The Final Knight continued. "But then something foreign to both multiverses, and all multiverses from beyond... and I finally left the multiverses I aided. I reached the ultimate unknown. I made contact with worlds beyond infinite 52. I became an omniversal traveller. Still, I visited my worlds once in a while, saving those from the Dark Multiverse and striking down those that threatens."
"You even traveled beyond canon. Ventured through the infinite realities. And that's how we befriended each other." Malal replied. "And you built this headquarters for me, for the need of those haunted by corrupted continuity."
"Lately, we have to clean up all the messes the Zerobreaker made." The Final Knight sighed. "I contacted the CXA once, but they didn't even aid us, for safety of the Retconnian."
"Maybe the CXA doesn't want to make our life harder, so they did the safe thing to do." Charlotte cited the book. "The book mentions that the CXA did not want Retconnian to be caught into any continuum-breaching anomaly interfering with the recovery."
"What?!" Everyone else.
"CXA... stands for the Continuum Exploitation Authority?" Angelique questioned.
"The book said so." Charlotte again.
"That's the truth. It's the Continuum Exploitation Authority." The Final Knight confirmed.
"So they're the ones who saved us from the Zerobreaker?" Angelique asked.
"Yes. Whenever a threat is found breaking all of existence forevermore, the CXA takes action." The Final Knight replied. "The CXA is apparently formed in the time immemorial countless times over, when an united alliance of Redvengers and their allied Hero forces led by Wesley and Tommy Hamashii, fought against the Darkbolts and the Officer Knights."
"You mean... those from Discord and YouTube and Twitter?" Charlotte asked out.
"A long story from CXA that they only bother to highlight. That war caused a bloody chain reaction that nearly destroyed all of existence forever, only for someone to pull off an experiment that saved it all." The Final Knight concluded. "Apparently, after that, the survivors founded the CXA that we know today. Protecting all of the divine continuum from exploitation and abuse like the one depicted in backstory. Hence the name."
"Thank you, mister and mister." Charlotte bowed. "Now, we should locate the Beach of the Order of the Pariah."
"Firstly... that man who gone insane and shitted through the Great Darkness, huh?" Malal recalls the Dark Crisis.
"Dark Crisis, I know." Angelique responded.
"And secondly, we only have one clue: Recently, we saw an almost seemingly transparent shadow that look like a land." Malal revealed. "It's floating up above this headquarters, and is, well... Let us take you."
"Actually, what about... you ride on top of Mephistopheles, where the king of mine, the Sinners and my people are boarding in." Charlotte reenters the DeLorean. "We'll take the vehicles."
Both vehicles turned around and then left with the huge entrance. With Malal crawling on top of the Mephistopheles, and navigating towards where the shadow is.
And as in turns out, the shadow is visible on quite a distance away from HQ, seen in the southwest to entrace's north.
"Behind the HQ. There it is: you can see the shadow a few dozens of kilometres southwest of HQ entrace's north." Malal pointed it out. "That's beyond the cliff, in the direction I just showed you."
Both vehicles landed on the cliff, and the O.R.A.C. stepped out and approached the end. Malal jumped to the cliff, and pointed at the shadow.
"It's very far away from here." Malal continued. "But wait... can't we-"
"The location's completely encrypted, and we don't have any tool to decrypt all that." Charlotte then looked at O.M.A.C. "O.M.A.C., you approximate the entry of the Beach and tag the overall location."
"Eye understood. O.M.A.C. protocol..." And them O.M.A.C. flew out straight from the cliff.
"Don't forget the beacons." Charlotte gave O.M.A.C. several beacons and thousands of Minecraft ingot blocks through the Portal Device.
O.M.A.C. proceeded to cautiously mark the location and footprint size of the Beach, and went on to build several Minecraft beacons around the Beach on the ground, secretly placing block and spacing beacons as for the job. The rest of team O.R.A.C., now with Malal and the Final Knight joined in, returned to the headquarters and devised the whole exposing.
A few days later, armed with the knowledge as well as having known the Founders and Tracking Error through remote-controlling the communication device at Night City, O.R.A.C. quickly sorted through...
"Well, now that you're no longer freaking out at us anymore, Tracking Error, can we finally..." The Final Knight requested.
"Here's the important additions. Firstly, the Founders managed to behave and get known with the guards, allowing them to get a few infos." Tracking Error recapped. "The Queen started Project Mobius to purge the existence itself to live up to Pariah's madness, due to her dark past."
"For security reasons, we're not allowed to hear the specifics of the backstory." Future Shulk continued. "However, we know that she is bitter about existence itself, and that motivated her into joining the Order and eventually becoming its current leader."
"We have one image of the queen standing in her throne room, and look at her face. You can see the image in the gizmos and your devices." Panacea told everyone.
"Uh, lady Reid, while we were fancy about an image of two people from earlier, so we compared that with the image you're talking about." The Final Knight noted. "Something was... suspicious."
"The second major is our knowledge with the true, divine continuum encompassing all of existence." Tracking Error continued. "And finally... uh, mister Vandham?"
"Thank goodness... our other fellows are still alive!" Matthew revealed.
"I'm glad Pyra and Mythra are both still alive, but..."/"ホムラもヒカリも生きててよかったけど..." Future Rex replied. "However... both of them, as well as all the rest except us Founders and Shulk and me, are missing. The guards confirmed all that."
The communicators rung.
"It is eye, O.M.A.C." O.M.A.C. called. "Eye have successfully done the beacon work. The Beach has been located and tagged."
"Yes!" The rest got excited.
Team O.R.A.C. vehicularly went back to the cliff, of which O.M.A.C. is waiting.
"You finally located it?!" Tracking Error screamed in excitement.
To be continued...
