Not long after a rocket's completion...
The Tetra crew left the SS, seems like the other. They looks the same as the one we're supposed to follow... other than the artstyle. The nearby Loopers are confused, and tried to find out who they are.
"Oh no! What's going on!?" Ess(?) freaks out.
A blue glowing man teleported right in front of the crew.
"Hello. I am Doctor Manhattan. I'm checking on the versions of this reality and its states." It's Dr. Manhattan. "You're... suspiciously identical..."
"We're the Tetra crew." Tee(?) replied. "We don't know how did we end up in this world."
"Firstly, you're in Athena, Reality Zero." Dr. Manhattan told the crew. "Secondly, thr only thing different between you and that 'you' that I'm familiar with is the style you're taking form of. Otherwise, you're pretty much identical."
"And thirdly, what happened?" Dr. Manhattan asked.
"Th-the last thing we remembered... before this world..." Ai(?) whimps. "Some sort... of... jellies... attacked... our ship...!" *whimpers*
"You mean Puyos?" Dr. Manhattan figured it out. "Some are leaking by."
"Puyo?" The crew have no idea.
"Well, this means you're from a new timeline." Dr. Manhattan revealed. "Specfically, yours is about to be taken over, but not by anyone from the so-called Order of the Pariah."
"What!?" The alternate crew.
"You're near the Zero Point, the nexus orb that holds the power of the omniverse itself." Dr. Manhattan explained. "I suggest you escape this island as soon as possible."
Dr. Manhattan simply disappeared. The alternate crew now have one thing to do: harness the Zero Point energy, and use it to escape Reality Zero. So they went to work, channeling the energy and storing it for use.
And ultimately, as the rocket launched from Dusty Depot, the crew finished preparation, stored enough energy and entered the ship. The rocket opened a rift and went through it. creating the said rift in the sky, the other rifts brought by Rift Zones cracked some more. The rocket gets out of the rift, moving across the island. Later on, more rockets, which were built by members of the Seven, joined in until one rocket formed a rift for the other rockets to go to. The next rift appeared at the back of the meteor, the rockets moved to the front to create a rift for the rockets to loop through. As the rockets loop around the meteor and move faster, the rift enlarges, and the meteor sucked inside the rift. And finally, the last rift appeared on top of Loot Lake, with a laser beam pointing at the sphere and destabilizes it even more. The meteor goes straight for the Zero Point as the rockets escape the island. And now, the starship floated, ready to takeoff.
"Boost escape, now!" And the ship flew out of the Zero Point, and boosting out.
The meteor squishes the sphere-of-influence created by the Zero Point and ends up destroying the frozen area and unfreezing it's explosion. This made the Zero Point explode, causing a vortex to completely suck the entire island into an unknown interspacial area. (Other island objects were seen being sucked in, such as the Tomatohead as well as the Battle Bus itself.) The starship struggles to overpower the sucking.
"Open the Zero Point boost!" Alternate Tee commanded.
The ship boosted, using the Zero Point energy, forcefully forming a rift around it for escape.
And by struggle, the starship finally overpowered from sucked in at the very last second. The rest of things got sucked all in, creating a black hole.
Enter the Shatterspace.
"We did it..." Alternate Ess relieved. "We escaped!"
"Uh... yeah. We escaped." Alternate twins Jay and Elle responded.
"This is... beyond space." Alternate Tee is amazed.
The Tetra floats, passing several things from several realities, including the Devil May Cry store, more floating lands from Pandora, Kronika's Hourglass, a dozen of Ferronises, the Great Pyramid, the Jade Chamber, and finally: Starfall Islands.
"So many worlds to discover... and so many adventures await!" Alternate Ess celebrated.
Then suddenly, the Tetra fell into a rift, and went down like a meteor.
Meanwhile, in Pleasant Park...
"Arch-Adam... Luka Omega." Arch-Sigurd talked about Luka ω. "By taking over the faeriekind of that reality, it's now possible for Luka as such to be influenced by the Singularity."
"Why do you know so much about Singularity?" Ma asked.
"Because just like Midmyers counterpart of mine, I can analyse between worlds, realities, universes alike." Arch-Sigurd revealed. "Also, as one of the extremely few surviving counterpart of Sigurd, I lived to tell all about Singularity. I was even indirectly acquainted with the Alphaverse itself."
"So you're from the exact same plane of existence as Bayonetta." Ma replied. "You must have known quite a bit about every single variants of her in existence."
"I sensed the entire war against the Singularity, and I figured out that it costed a lot of Arch-Eves of all kind throughout the Trinity." Arch-Sigurd responded. "I may have come from a different 'verse, but I got to know even more than the aforementioned Midmyers counterpart."
"What about a mad scientist by the name of Midmyers Arc, who's the son of the original Singularity from Alphaverse?" Ma asked Arch-Sigurd. "Additionally, who's his mother?"
"Alright, very interesting question." Arch-Sigurd took note. "I'll discuss it for the CXA. You're free to do anything here."
"Don't forget about the Order of the Pariah!" Ma yelled.
Arch-Sigurd then flew using jetpack. "Alright!"
"What~can~go~wrong~?" Ma mused, similarly to Ringo.
"Everything can." Cereza appeared.
"What!?" Ma noticed.
"You... you're going to let Everything slip in?" Cereza mocked. "We know better than that, you scam. The ultimate phenomena, unrivaled, shall commence!"
"Singularity man!" Ma throws her smoke pipe away.
"The Sorceress of Time, you are but a wild card." Cereza responded. "Give me the Chaos Emerald, because we found it in you!"
"What the!?" Ma is caught off guard.
"Obviously, you didn't listen to me the first time." Cereza knew it. "Give me the Chaos Emerald!"
"Nope. I don't have." Ma shrugged.
Cue Cereza kicking Ma with the combined power of Madame Butterfly and Homunculi. Ma is sent flying through the building, and then right towards the Library in the center, crashing the wall. The Chaos Emerald is knocked off and fell pretty far behind Ma, who managed to quickly get up and then snatch it. Cereza teleported to there.
"You had better have me that Emerald!" Cereza scolded Ma. "If you value your pitiful existence, do it. Now!"
Ma absorbs the Emerald, storing it with built-in technology that also controls the Sins inside and the extra souls.
"Very well..." Cereza is disappointed. "Have it your way, but I'm not leaving until I seize the Emerald!"
Cereza points her guns toward Ma. "So I'll just take it by literal force! With the power of affirmation phenomena, undisputable!"
Cereza rapid-fires, Ma casted a protective spell to deflect the bullets, Cereza then also chased Ma briefly. They arrived at Anvil Squares and engaged their martial arts. Ma, being the powerful mage from Evillious as she originally was, took advantage of her magical powers to fend off the Homuculus-boosted Umbran strikes. The possessed witch then promptly ambushed and struck down the mage, and kicked her out of the POI. Ma crashed between Fridgeberg and Icy Void, and quickly got up, much to the witch's surprise. Ma counter-struck as Cereza teleported, and both continued the magic-aided brawling. Ma seemed like she's gaining an advantage then, but Cereza teleported to behind and multi-comboed without the bullets first, before firing to crash Ma away. The possessed witch then kicked mid-air twice, forcing momentum damage and sent the mage straight into the Citadel... and she stomped her into landing, and stopped by doing a suplex move, breaking walls. Ma swayed into landing afoot, and fired a magic beam a Cereza, point blank, and then used a cursed fist to pierce the witch afterwards, to good measures required.
"Chaos Control!" Ma teleports Cereza out.
Both disappeared, leaving some Oathbound knights confused. A while later, at Volcanic Spilts...
"Lilith, as Arly, I'm so glad we can accept Arly as your extension!" Dark Prince drooled. "Love never discriminate!"
"Um, I'm not into your interest. You can hang out with this ancestry of mine." Arle suggested.
Suddenly, Ma got teleported into the point that knocked Lilith down, dropping the Seraphim Orb that she has. Ma dropped into the wall.
"Ugh... Someone... fighting me!" Ma is fuzzy.
"What!?" Arle and Dark Prince are caught off guard.
Cereza appeared behind Ma and in front of Arle and Dark Prince. He tried to cast his own apocalypse to attack the witch, but is completely stalled with only bare hand.
"What a plaything." Cereza then tosses Dark Prince continuously while holding with the hand. "Let's break!" *fly and pulls Dark Prince up*
Dark Prince screamed in horror, scaring Arle and Lilith. Cereza continued tossing and pulling around. Then she flailed around, and threw him off, sending him flying down to Frenzy Fields, ruining the southwest field that's part of Misty Meadow. And then...
"Chaos Control!" Cereza yelled.
Dark Prince is teleported down to be choked by Cereza, who threw him down to Lilith, crushing her. Then Chaos Emerald materialized in Cereza to hold in hand.
"How... how did you snatch the Emerald!" Ma noticed.
"With the phenomena manipulation evolved, now I can remotely control any power nearby for myself without having to take them first." Cereza revealed. "And you got Seraphim Orb too? That makes two treasures!"
"You all could have made things easier on yourself if you had just obeyed." Cereza continued. "But then again, I still would have wiped you out of existence anyways."
"Dark Prince!" Arle cried. "Lilith! No!"
"Begone, fools!" Cereza wants to shoot Arle and the Dark Prince (and Lilith).
Ma struck Cereza with her magic.
"Damnit! You meddling!" Cereza realized. "How can you interfere with the immutable end of those lowlifes!?"
Cereza quickly snatched the Seraphim Orb. "Pssst! Nope! At least I got what m both what I came here for now."
Cereza teleported. Dark Prince and Lilith are severely injured. Arle and Ma reached to both.
"Urgh! That witch... She's not natural in personality...!" Dark Prince coughs blood.
"No no no!" Arle panics.
Ma spelled healing to save both godly lovers who once made Madou world.
Meanwhile...
"Pariah have become shortsighted, you no longer even go past your own ego. Dark Crisis could've been avoided, but why this paradox!?" Members of Justice Leagues as depicted in a propaganda.
"Don't abuse the Justice Leagues. Ever. We're heroes!" Justice Leagues' sidekicks and legacy as depicted in the same propaganda.
People from several realities did the propaganda to defend the Justice Leagues and their legacy, and defame the Order of the Pariah, across dimensions. This worries Pariah and some.
"They're uprising along with the accursed Justice Leagues!" Pariah is frustrated. "When I gave in because I was doomed!"
"I suggest you upgrade your anti-matter device and mass-produce it for the Order." Darkseid, in his true form 'godhead', who's (indeed) corrupted by the evolved Anti-Life, has a suggestion. "And boost it with the dearest Anti-Life."
"Thank you. I'm on the way, testing the anti-matter device enhanced by Anti-Life and work with the rift, and the device itself will be mass-produced soon." Pariah replied. "With my technology, the Anti-Life and the rift's powers, we're but one step closer to the one goal."
"We have a gathering. Go." Darkseid left to gather.
Pariah went to the gathering, arriving in a rifted version of the Netherrealm, dubbed as the third Beach, which many has also attended. Among the attendants are Barbatos the Anemo Archon as Venti, brought alongside his people, and Morax the Geo Archon as Zhongli, but wearing the hood and robes as he previous wore as an Archon, and of course, brought alongside his people... and a girl made of salt.
"Welcome, Morax." Darkseid greeted Zhongli. "Who is that girl made of salt."
"Guizhong." Zhongli bluntly replied. "From Guili Assembly. She was a friend of mine. She was killed during the Archon War, but with the power of the Anti-Life..."
"Anti-Life do not live or die, for that it removed free-will and make people realize life is meaningless." Darkseid noted.
"The Anti-Life Equation has the power to dominate the will of any sentient race in addition to reality-altering powers that twist and distort freedom over life, death as well as all existence." Zhongli noted. "'If someone possesses absolute control over you—you're not really alive.' That's the spirit of the Anti-Life. I took it and used salt and terrain to remake Guizhong, and made her mine, every single detail matching what I originally was used to, but adapted."
"It's time for the gathering. The Beach awaits us." Venti told Zhongli. "Let's go. We don't want to be locked out of the in person invitation."
"Very well. Let's go, Guizhong." Zhongli went ahead.
All the attendants arrived before the spire, or known as Spire of the Beach. The attendance kneeled down. Cereza as controlled by Arc, alongside Balder and the king of faeries, Luka now corrupted and controlled by Arc (hence the light tether on the back besides the wings), all attended as well.
"Welcome and hail, the Order of the Pariah." It's the leader of the Order (it's she/her). "The time has come again tonight. No faltering! This is the reality war!"
"Everyone here has the gut to overcome their obstacles and take over." The leader declared. "Everyone here is now one!"
"We shall unite and seize all realities, and take over all of hypertime!" The leader continued. "And that time... is upon us!"
"All hail! All hail! All hail!" The attendance shouted.
"And now, we have got the man who started our dynasty in the first place..."
