6:00 A.M., day 15 of the Anti-Life evolution.
"Good morning, Battle Royale!" The genre-saavy Looper woke up besides the complete Rift Gate.
The Looper noticed too many things changed in the island, and even the ships flying around in space. The Looper quickly call the latter off as an Alice in Borderland reference or call-back.
Then a seemingly familiar but strange duo jumped to the top of this tower, and the Looper is caught, but not before recognizing them as some altered version of N and M.
"I thought you both sacrificed yourself to destroy Z!" The Looper is tied up.
"These became defective, but we have evolved." N told the Looper. "We are Mobius."
N slices the Looper off with the Sword of Origin, eliminating that. The spawn came to retrieve and go, but M simply grab the drone once it finished absorbing.
"Noah, I'll take this for ourselves." M stores the drone.
N spotted the Library sticking out in the center of the island. "The Lobotomy Corporation is at it again. Remember how much role they had in destroying the Zerobreaker?"
"Noah... we infiltrate the Library, and sabotage the Seed of Light?" M has an idea. "We act as if we're before, it's not like they knew we has transcended anyways."
N then wrote a note that says "Sabotage this shit", slap it on the Rift Gate, and then alongside M go the way and enter the Library under the guise of their past selves. The employees who knew the Mobius from Aionios (and that game) greeted both, and allowed both to not only get through the entrance directly, but allow access to even top secret zones.
"Yes! They didn't know about our real agenda!" N thought. "We were the Consuls. Now..."
Various gathered in the Floors of General Works. On the zone of the Light, the old members of what used to be the makeshift team named after Personas' group has gathered, alongside various extras. All the hunters recruited, the entire Lobotomy-Ruina, Scaramouche the Wanderer, Viola Redgrave and the Edgerunner book is led by Angela, System No. XX and Jumpson, all awaiting someone. While waiting, they discussed everything that happened over the past couple of weeks, throughout the evolution of.
"Kiana Kaslana. Compare the one you've met with the one normally." Zar has no idea.
"To put in short, that one was a combination of the original and K-423, and of mysterious-" Angela proceeded, but then...
"Please welcome us. We're the Consuls." M blended in.
N and M entered the gathering.
"Mave, Kondor, Menace, Reese, Mancake, Miss Lexa, Mr. Kratos, Daryl Dixon, Michonne, that one Predator, Ms. Connor, that machine, Snake Eyes, that one Flash guy, Bandwidth, Bitstream, Commandline, Cypher, Datapath, Firewall, Io, Packet, Proxy, Upload, Mr. Ryu, Ms. Chun-Li, Ms. Ripley and that one Mandalorian..." The wanderer pointed to whoever they are.
"I have been cross-investigating a lot lately. Had my son navigate around Primp. Then myself got into info dump from Quantum Realm. And so on." Kratos explained what happened. "It's quick and complicated."
"You are the Mobius? The returned?" T-800 is surprised. "You previously sacrificed yourselves to put an end to Mobius shit, that one 'Z' who imposed 'endless now', but you... Unless..."
N and M distracted everyone by recapping what happened to Aionios originally, from the start of the world merger all the way to the final battle, all in their (in particular, Consuls' in general) perspectives, where in the end they sacrificed to defeat 'Z' once and for all.
"Oh my god... You spoiled Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Holy shit!" TRON crew are ridiculed.
"Keep breaking the fourth wall, we fight-" Chun-Li engaged, but is interrupted.
"I don't want any infighting." Riane threatened. "If you go for actually violence, you'll fall into an Arbiter's wrath."
"We need the Seed of Light. Let us control the Light." N offered Team Lobotomy-Ruina to give the Light.
From the words of it, Jumpson instantly sensed something wrong.
"No." Jumpson refused. "It appears that you might have become too much Mobius, according to how our conversation turned out. I feel like you're being an actual Mobius, under the guise of Consuls even."
"Jumpson, how did you come up with that?" Angela questioned.
"What? Are we going to do anything wrong? We want to help you all, and the Ouroboros as well." M nervously replied. "My Noah has no ill intent this time, and neither do I."
"How are you back? How did you get here?" Jumpson suspected. "And most importantly, why risk the Light's blessing for the sake!?"
"Wait... two Consuls spying us..." Half of the hunters replied. "All along!?"
"No, no, no..." M sweats out, afraid. "We're about to get caught..."
"Sorry, I'm late, fresh from the games." LeBron James arrived. "What's going on?"
"Most likely, two Mobius has returned to spy us, while we gathered!" Jumpson warned LeBron.
"What? Consuls, you mean?" LeBron squinted.
"No... even the King of basketball is now involved..." N trembles. "They're all going to expose us..."
"They're saying that I should give up the Light to them!?" Carmen is shocked.
"Shit!" N stuttered. "Oh no, our cover is blown, M!"
Everyone's suspicions became utterly clear.
"We're here because the Beach has blessed us. We must not fail them." M replied in change. "The next stage has come. We'll take the Light by ourselves. We're the Mobius reborn, and we've transcended!" *psychotic laughter*
"Welcome to the infinite mayhem." N waves the Sword of Origin upon everyone else but M.
"Report to the librarians!" Teras told Angela. "Now!"
Riane activated here Arbiter powers, leading to her eyes glowing gold. She shot N with her rifle, only for him to deflect her bullets standing with the Sword of Origin.
"What the!? I've never seen this guy in my existence!" Riane is surprised.
"Who are you?" N has no idea.
"The Golden Arbiter, super-Color Fixer." Riane unsheathes her sword and summoned constructs of Arbiter to aid. "Riane."
"Consul Noah." N briefly bowed down. "Kneel and begone!"
"The King's coming!" LeBron rammed in basketball move against N.
N simply pushed him far out, with the King himself caught by Zar, who used Serum K to heal him.
"A mere human with the tenacity, power, speed and precision to decided to take on me." N dismissed. "Do you think I, a Mobius, can't stand a chance?"
Zar struck N and used Serum R to let the act done. N did his speed swordsmanship to attack back, but Zar used Serum W to ignore the speed and even knock N down.
"I'm a cyber-Claw, and my name is Zar!" Zar punches N repeatedly. "I must kill you!"
"Doesn't matter, M is taking the Light for us-" N still got the beatdown, trying to reach to the knocked Sword of Origin.
"Shut up!" Zar grab N and smash him through a rip in space, dragging the Mobius through every floor of the Library, and then back.
With everyone distracted, M was able to dance into the fray and take Carmen hostage, allowing the Light to be taken.
"Mass panic on the Library, I cannot care." M told Carmen, acting like a heartless version of Mio.
"We called the Library, you won't get away truly scot-free!" Ayin mocked M. "The CXA will know about your attack!"
M simply cut Carmen's wrist, causing the Light to leak out by blood, acting and feeling like hot bathtub.
"Nooooo!!!" Ayin, Angela and the Head's employees yelled on in despair.
Zar threw N out and charged towards M, and Riane distraughtly attacked M as an Arbiter. M pushed Carmen aside, and weaved the Light to retrieve it, while dodging as a dancer. But Zar managed to knock M out by ramming.
"My neural is... pulled out..." Carmen collapses.
The wrist then exploded afterwards, and from it, the neural network of Carmen is floating and filled with light. Carmen's body stopped life herself.
"How dare you!" Angela took the edge-book. "E.G.O. time."
"Mio, you got her! You stripped the Light!" N got up.
-*activates Sandevistan* "That Sandy... I remember so vividly... the day I fought you." Angela accepted. "Now I truly understand your power... David Martinez."
"David Martinez?" M heard it. "I heard him from the breaker..."
Angela blitzed to N and attacked with her library book. *deactivates Sandevistan*
"Argh!" N gets hot by surprise. "You... you have his powers!?"
N swung in flash. Angela used Sandevistan to let her dodge the Sword of Origin. Taking the distraction of N, the Patron Librarians, a.k.a. the Sephirah, approached the Light (and Carmen's neural), but M got up and defended against them.
"Oh no!" Hod!
Angela took her usual library fighting style, and swarmed N. His version of the Sword of the End is sheathed, and he prepared to Tachyon Slash at point blank with through emitting some dark familiar aura. In the meantime, the Ouroboros, as Noah, Mio, Eunie, Lanz, Taion and Sena, finally arrived.
"What's going on?" Eunie noticed. "Wait..."
N draws the slash time, but Angela steps back with Sandevistan, dodging the attack entirely.
"N! Stop!" Noah shouted.
N stops, and motives the Ouroboros. M also noticed as well.
"You... You're back, but what have you..." Mio trembles.
"Ouroboros!" The Sephirah noticed.
"Welcome, special guest." Angela deactivates Sandevistan. "We have a lot of problem running around recently, so-"
N pushed Angela aside, and approached the Ouroboros. Especially Noah and Mio.
"I remember you. You're the one who led to my... Mio's Homecoming and ended my suffering." N recognized the Ouroboros. "The last time you saw us, we destroyed Z to protect your future unknown."
"Then our world splitted back into two, as originally meant to be." Noah recalled. "But our feelings were, are still, and will alway be interlinked."
"Whenever your two worlds came back as one, you relived it but by having guided by your feelings into what's now a semi-imaginary gap between the two." N told the Ouroboros about how Aionios came back. "But at the same time, because of all that, you wished exposing the worlds more foreign phenomena than ever before."
"Chromified creation god, sparks on the horizon, ever some cyberpunk helping us." Lanz recalled. "Yeah, yeah, and followed by attaching an omniverse with another omniverse, and then sending a monster woman off without the melody."
"Geez, you're such a gall-bleeper. Our queen's gonna be upset!" Sena replied.
"But suddenly, we came back as transcended Mobius." N continued. "We became reality warpers, and we were stronger than old, original Mobius. We're now the new 'infinity'."
"What if endless now meets unknown future?" M questioned in response.
"And that's how we ended up serving-" N is then interrupted by Noah.
"You were a coward who submitted to Z. Then we beat you, you got your sense and finally destroyed Z. Now you're submitted!?" Noah is shocked. "What's with you now..."
"The Beach bless us. They're to bring all realities for themselves. They do it for hope. With that, endless now can truly meet the unknown future you'd be experiencing for life if we never came back." N laughed. "We have learned! We have a better idea of the unknown future now! It deserved a showdown with endless now! See how the Origin fare to the phenomena itself!"
"He's insane now." Taion concluded. "I have scanned him, and he turns out to have... some mixed Mobius energy we never seen since the battle for the unknown future."
"You've gone back to being obsessive with that M, Consul N!" Eunie called out N. "We must-"
"Shut up!" N put on an echo that interrupted everyone with a frightening tone. "Mobius isn't the same as it used to anymore! The Beach has evolved it! We are blessed for it, you should be grateful for it!!!"
"Oh hell no..." LeBron is ridiculed. "You can't be serious!"
"M, the Light!" N yelled.
Angela went Sandevistan and grabbed the neural with the Light, leading to M having to try and break the guard.
"Try and take it." Angela challenged M.
M waved her moonblades into slicing the head director, but she abused with Sandevistan. However, Angela have to the grab, allowing N to take the neural, and with it: Angela's E.G.O., the Seed of Light.
"We're done here! Now we leave the Library!" N laughed.
"Interlink!" Noah and Mio Interlinked into the former, and took out the Sword of Origin, effectively the Interlink version of his Sword of the End.
"Crap, this is getting dangerous!" LeBron ran away. "I'm outta here, you world haters!"
"Zena! Baral! Garion! Stop M!" Ludas commanded.
Noah blocks N with the sword, leaving the Mobius with the Light stuck now. M is ambushed by Binah and Zena.
-*golden eyes* "Stop it, dirtbag!" Zena engaged.
Cue: Baral grabs M and smash her through a rip in space, dragging the Mobius through every floor of the Library, and then back. And knock M into N, dropping the neural.
Then a purple rift appeared in front of the Floor, and retrieved the neural.
"We'll take the Light. You're done." It's Balder.
"Thanks, Lumen Sage!" N got up.
"Ugh..." M is fuzzy.
"What!?" Everyone else is shocked.
"Mobius is indeed no longer the same." Balder talks about the Mobius. "The essence of Z-infinity has been absorbed into these duo. They've both been reprogrammed in favor of Mobius' endless now, and they process to be useful to the Beach. And also, I, a new homuculus, has been blessed as well-"
Zar simply punched Balder in his face. However, M got up, and she and N stopped the cybernetic Claw by physically threatening (nonverbally).
"Let's get back." Balder enters the rift.
N and M walked to the rift, leaving as it closes. Both left Carmen for dead, and so...
"Damn it! We're screwed! This isn't optimal!" Yesod is frustrated.
