Scaramouche the Wanderer is sleeping. And then, he dreams...
"What? I'm in... the foundry?" The wanderer found himself in the chromified Joururi Workshop. *remembers his brief godhood and his eventual recovery of memories*
Trapped in the depths of the foundry, the wanderer would come face to face with the very core of the god creation plan — Shouki no Kami, the Everlasting God of Arcane Wisdom, once piloted by the lost Fatui Harbinger, Scaramouche the Balladeer.
"Who would have thought... the omniverse would be so eager for my rebirth..." A woman voice. "I remember you, Scaramouche... on behalf of your crews..."
"Is that... the Rift Goddess?" The wanderer recognized the voice. "You mean... you're the Zerobreaker!?"
"'The Rift Goddess'... A long bygone title...When my spirit ascended beyond divinity, I felt as if I had existed for the same number of epochs as the entire omniverse put together..." The forged god is about to activate, and is filled with the purple-tinted rifts. "Looking back on my past existence of what once hailed as the Rift Goddess, appears to have expired..."
"This imposing aura... It really feels like a god's..." The wanderer responded. "In fact, it used to be mine..."
"A body that capitalizes on The Balladeer's original construction as a mechanical puppet, with the Gnosis serving as a constant power supply..." The wanderer commented. "I'd appreciate that much effort and resources those disgraceful sages put into this...!"
"From a purely technological perspective, this was the culmination of human wisdom." The wanderer examined the forged god from afar. "But I have since abandoned it, and now, it's enhanced with all kind of rifts... the Zerobreaker is back, and she's in it!?"
"Strife is engraved upon every realities across infinite dimensions and every possibilities brought forth into this existence." The forged god told the wanderer. "Can you feel it? The exhilaration of such power, and the thrill of anticipation for our contention..."
"Nope, I would no longer feel the same things as you!" The wanderer argued. "It doesn't help that I used to feel that way!"
"Do you not realize... that you are interrupting a conversation between gods?" The forged god revealed itself in full. "Lowly creature, know your fucking place!"
"The strife engraved upon every realities... wait... just like a strife engraved upon a Gnosis..." The wanderer figured it out. "That must be about the Archon War."
"Remember my struggle against that so-called bratty Archon, a.k.a. Kusanali? You'd know that Teyvat's peace was not easily won. Neither of us personally participated in the Archon War, but the way I see it..." The wanderer reminded of Nahida. "All those losses were meaningless, driven by the demands of the 'laws.' Bringing it up again would threaten that peace instead."
-*giggles* "Is that so? Yet I am deeply disappointed that I was no longer allowed to have a right to exist." The forged god replied. "This is a first — encountering a god in this world who does not need existence."
"No wonder why those cornering my revenge..." The forged god continued. "The Seven, the Imagined Order, the Last Reality, even those Loopers and heck, that celebrity... They all denied me of not only my rights, but my existence."
"That's because you became far too bitter about the departure of the Cube King, a.k.a. the Origin, and you thus caused problems as a result, leading to you being too desperate and deluded to adapt to the island and its culture." The wanderer refuted. "And guess what? You went insane, lashed over the omniverse over your own wrongdoings, and went as far as to erase all of our existence altogether."
"Hmph. Our argument is as your existence: unsubstantial." The forged god shrugged it off. "This is where everything ends, Scaramouche the Balladeer, now the Wanderer.Your only option is to face me in the hopeless forever war."
"Come..." The forged god revealed herself, revealing herself to be..."Let us finish what I started. Come and inaugurate my rebirth... the Zerobreaker!"
The forged god is Zerobreaker reborn, and the machine itself got a new paint job matching her new true form, with rifts as accents and energy lines, and portals as rings across. The rifts erupted from the ground, shaking the Chrome and startling the wanderer. Then it jumpscared with the mouth made a certain abomination!
-*screams*
The wanderer woke up, panting and panting. It was just a dream. Kazuha shook up because of the waking, but the wanderer immediately told him about the dream he just had.
Morning... it has been two weeks since the Anti-Life Equation is unleashed.
"What's wrong, bud?" John Jones asked.
"Fucking bullshit, in short!" The wanderer shouted. "The Zerobreaker is back! She! Is! Motherfucking! Back!"
"Calm down! What's with you?" Jones responded.
The wanderer angrily tells Jones about the dream he had while in sleep towards this day, stating that Shouki no Kami has fused with the Zerobreaker, bringing her back.
"We erased her from all of existence!" The wanderer complained. "And yet, somebody actually brought her back, inside my fucking machine! That machine was built by those sages, and now it's the Zerobreaker reborn!"
"SHE! HAS! BEEN! REBORN!!!" The wanderer pulsed wind, knocking Jones away.
"Oh no... you gone mad from that..." Jones responded. "But I'm so troubled too. Because turns out..."
"What!?" The wanderer gets rage.
"I got the same dream. That machine, that same... Zerobreaker?" Jones revealed.
"Oh no! So we're going to be targeted!" The wanderer is frustrated.
Yu Narukami approached Jones. "Hello, Agent Jones. Can I speak to you?"
"Sure. Did you have a dream where the Zerobreaker reborn... in Shouki no Kami?" Jones asked back.
"Hold on..." Yu realized. "That... Zerobreaker... she's... back?"
"You're not alone." Jones continued. "Mr. Scaramouche actually got that same dream, and he's gone crazy because of it. And we supposed that we have erased the Zerobreaker from existence, which means the dream is... not good."
This shook Yu out.
"I... see..." Yu nervously left.
Reality Log 8752-NXT. "Reality Log 8-7-5-2-Next."-"And so, I realized something about this dream. Is Zerobreaker back now? Is she going to get extra revenge on top of her original backstory, for us erasing her from existence? Who brought her back? How in the hypertime they are able to? Why is the Everlasting God of Arcane Wisdom her vessel now? Do the Anti-Life jas anything direct to do with this psycho now? What's going on? Whatever it really is, it can't be good. She's the one who destroyed the Zero Point. Thus, in the process and beyond, she nearly destroyed the omniverse, over a thousand times! It feel... impossible, and yet it is... beyond comprehension. Even worse: we had to be Omni Super Saiyans and accept the Zero Point in order to know her true prowess and power, just as she said that we can't grasp her true power. Just how powerful will she become after!?"
Meanwhile, it's relatively peace and quiet for the island, as Battle Royale is the only thing chaotic there right now. There is the Head trio lost in hypertime, now trapped in the Loop, and thus can't speak. They doesn't exactly remember anything, but instead sensed the deja vu after all, so they instinctively avoided the Battle Royale and kept inside the Storm eye. They came from a Battle Bus, and dropped into what the Loop came to be, forced into a 22-minute fight between 100 Loopers all around the world inside the island.
At the end of that, the Storm has covered the island. Suddenly, purple-tinted rifts appeared all over the place, causing the trio to remember everything that happened before this moment.
"What the!?" Riane noticed something. "We..."
"Oh no... the Loop!" The trio realized.
Emerging from the rifts are the corrupted monster taking in form of the victims who got erased from existence, except for the trio.
"Loneliness plus Alienation plus Fear plus Despair plus Self-Worth divided by Mockery divided by Condemnation divided by Misunderstanding times Guilt times Shame times Failure times Judgment, N equals Y where Y is Hope and N is Folly, Love equals Lies, Life equals Death, Self equals Dark-side." The monsters chanted.
"The Anti-Life Equation!" Zar noticed.
Zar tried to teleport the trio out of the way with Serum W, but all of them suffered the Storm Sickness, so they can't properly use it.
"Damn it!" Zar collapsed.
"No..." Riane falls down.
The monsters surrounded the trio, wanting break them to the core. Amongst them led by the seven... the Seven themselves. Riane barely caught the sight of the visor helms, spotting the stylized omega signs in them.
"That... dream..." She remembered the dream she had the sleeptime after her return in discovery.
-*flashback to the dream* An imagery of the Seven capturing her... *present*
"Who is our god, now and forever?" The Foundation declared.
"Anti-Life Is! Anti-Life Is! Anti-Life Is! Anti-Life Is! Anti-Life Is!" The monsters cheered.
"All live for Zero! All die for Nothing!" The Paradigm declared. "Freedom is to surrender to Anti-Life!"
"Why... Anti-Life..." Riane pukes blood while lying up, and it's creepy.
"Ri... Za... why would they... us...?" Teras goes static, indicating cosmic horror level of shock.
The Seven then speaks like someone... suspiciously overpowered.
"I. AM. THE. CHOSEN. ONE." "ALL MATTERS IN ABSOLUTE ONE." "THESE MIGHTY IDEALS IS MY PARTS." "WHEN I COMMAND ENEMIES' SURRENDER, I SPEAK WITH INFINITE VOICES..." "WHEN I MAKE A FIST TO CRUSH ENEMIES' RESISTANCE, IT IS WITH INFINITE DIMENSIONS!" "WHEN I STARE INTO EMINENCES ENEMIES' EYES, AND SHATTER THEIR DREAMS. AND BREAK THEIR HEARTS, IT IS WITH INFINITE WORLDS!" "NOTHING LIKE ABSOLUTE HAS EVER COME AMONG YOU: NOTHING WILL AGAIN." "I WILL TAKE MY ENEMIES TO A HELL WITHOUT EXIT OR END." "AND THERE I WILL MURDER THEIR SOULS! AND MAKE THEM CRAWL AND BEG!" "AND DIE! DIE! DIE FOR ME!"
Suddenly, a normal, bright blue rift appeared, and then glowed gold. Geno has arrived, and...
"You!"
Geno took Riane, Zar and the pane contacting Teras, and so he brought the trio out.
"You don't!" The Scientist shot Geno.
Geno falls out, but he and the trio got into another normal rift, escaping from the island.
"We're watching you." The Origin declared. "Because Anti-Life Is!"
A while later...
"Damn... they kinda caught me..." Geno struggles to stand up right, as he's shot on the chest. "Gotta break myself up and then repair across realities."
"And those trio? They're in the Loop, but are then caught in not only the Storm, but the..." Geno reported. "... Anti-Life. Yes, even the Seven. It's gonna take a while to recover, but I'm immortal. I'm genetically perfect... so I must scatter throughout..."
The trio is lying around in the way, unconscious.
"Oh yeah, I can also read minds with Zero Point physics, so I got an idea of what's it..." Geno recapped the dream Riane got in the beginning.
"Oh hell no!" Hoshimatsu is ridiculed. "So that dream must be a warning to us all!"
"Then the dream I got beyond that midnight..." The wanderer realized. "It's warning us that Zerobreaker is going to return!"
"I can hear not only the thinking, but also the surrounding beyond the rift." Geno continued. "I know what's happening. The Seven brought those monsters we once fought, and those were taking the forms of victims. They're the same kind we went against during the Zerobreaker incident."
"Geno! You're as reckless as you were cruel." Jones appeared.
"Agent Jones, what about the Paradox Prism?" Hoshimatsu asked.
"The Prism Shatter caused its fragmenting selves to create realities around the Shatterspace." Jones reported. "Because of the reality explosion, the Prism's got Zero Point energy infused in it, infesting the realities inside."
"Call... the inhabitants of Fanfictasia." Geno suggested.
"Ok, lord-ass." Jones ran away.
Later, the FanficTen is gathered in front of Shatterspace by Ma.
"I am Ma. Mem-Aleph." Ma introduced herself. "Mother of Twin Gods. Sorceress of Time. Hacker by Evillious net. The pure being."
"There's no question. These paradoxes we experienced are all connected..." Batman of Fanfictasia reported. "... and show no signs of stopping."
"We have to keep regenerating the victims!" The Maleficent of Fanfictasia. "Oscar's Orblet is just sitting in our Vault. Let's use it and call it a day!"
"Firstly, such regeneration is outlawed." Ma refused. "Secondly, what would happen if the Orblet contacts with anything remotely paradoxical, such as the Zero Point?"
"By our edict, may I remind you?" Hermione Granger suggested.
"Your law forbids the undoing of natural death." Ma reminded the FanficTen.
"And those recent deaths are anything but natural." Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow of Fanfictasia continued.
"Are you sure undoing those be the only way to prevent further losses?" Ma questioned. "Anyways, let's visit that space."
Ma and the FanficTen flew using a repaired Dragonturtle MK. I, the original vehicle by Shinra organization.
"You know how to drive, miss Mem... Aleph?" James Bond wondered.
"Look, I'm from a modern point of what most of you calls as the Fourth Period." Ma replied. "I work for Evillious net, Evillious-dot-net in case you want to pronounce it right, and well... I drives to various place in the world."
"Did you contact with the Ultramen?" Ma asked.
The FanficTen shaked their heads in denial.
-*sigh* "So you might not have warned the Ultras about the Anti-Life Equation." Ma is disappointed.
"No, we warned them about the Anti-Life Equation, but nothing else just yet." Indiana Jones of Fanfictasia argued.
"Oh, I see..." Ma understood. "By the way, there's an abnormal space shattered from."
Indeed, there's a white silvery glowing gate surrounded by what turns out to be Chrome pillars.
"We're almost there. Hang on." Ma boosted. "This vehicle send quite reliable, working just about as well as its successor!"
Ma pushed turbo on the Dragonturtle, moving towards the Chrome gate.
"Brace yourselves." Batman of Fanfictasia prepared for the entering. "We're going to some strange place."
