"Another just got into us." Travis realized. "Uh oh... kids, we need to-"
"Oh, old leakers and some new accomplices." Laughs noticed the team.
"The Batman Who Laughs... you and the Order will pay for the terrorism..." The Final Knight finally got up.
"Finally! Your age has caught up with you!" Laughs mocked the old Signal.
"Duke Thomas! You're worn down!" Jeane noticed.
"Yeah, I know... This probably marks the end of my eons-equivalents-long journey across all the reality." The Final Knight takes up the Parall-Axe. "This is my last stand."
"Aged? Then no!" Travis pulled back. "Mr. Signal, you cannot do this anymore! Your body is going to give up!"
The Final Knight bludgeons the assassin and then charged.
"Come, old man!" Laughs simply embraced the upcoming strikes.
Meanwhile...
"Where am I?" It was Dr. Slone. She woke up in the Inner Sanctum of Eclipsed Estate.
She then saw a time machine saying "2018 07 26". Then it flashes into "2110 01 01", and...
"Ahhhh!!!" Trinity Glassfille drops down.
"What? You look... kinda familiar..." Slone noticed. "Platinum? Trinity? What?"
Trinity got up and looks around. She is very confused, as she doesn't realize yet that she's in another world.
"You're... Trinity?" Slone responded. "My name is Slone."
"Trinity Glassfille." Said Trinity. "Where am I?"
Kado Thorne, a vampire revenant, approached the two.
"Hello, two from the past and the future. I needed as much help as I can." Kado greeted the two. "I am Kado Thorne. A vampire who time-travels. I collected all kinds of items across time, until... I saw something I should never have seen."
"Should never have seen?" Slone suspected. "Does it sound like... the Order terrorists the CXA told me about?"
"Exactly. The so-called Order of the Pariah." Kado confirmed. "First, I saw a world of former jail tower getting destroyed. Then I saw its last survivor being evil and tending her... creations. And I realized... there's Hypertime, and it's being endangered. So I found this," *show a giz* "And found files from some leakers... That's how I learned about the Order. Long story short, they're too dangerous."
Other Dr. Slone (the heist one) appeared, and brought a board - the same board used by that certain team - filled with proofs about the Order.
"For starters: that Order, founded by two of the Dark Multiverse's darkest. Then they were killed by the Continuum Exploitation Authority." Slone pointed.
"CXA? I last met them on the Island!" WILDS!Slone immediately recalled.
"The past me, you have had an agreement with the CXA?" Slone immediately questioned.
"Uh oh." Trinity is afraid.
MEGA!Evie rushed to the vault, and found the version she's looking for.
"Dr. Slone! You've finally been brought!" MEGA!Evie is relieved.
"Evie? And why are the... other me-"
"When I saw all the files about the Order and the security breach, I realized that the Zero Point in the Island as I was aware of, were not only in dangerous... all the timeline as well. In fact, the greater omniverse and the Hypertime, and even the fourth wall itself..." Kado continued. "So I took that gizmo as part of my collection, and kept an eye on the updates. So I could rescue a lot of you guys. Such as this... you who stole my time machine! Oh! And that to the giz, I linked time machines together to make the rescue and recruiting easier!"
"Oh I see..." WILDS!Slone got it.
"Good. It's about time we get outside." Kado applauded.
The gang then went out the Estate, and finally... there's the Eclipse, and the WILDS cluster with Prime Town and Centipex in, all nearby the heist Island. There are also few other versions of Asteria, as well as a couple of Apollo/Artemis at varying states.
"Thanks to linking those time machines, we was able to bring Islands and rescue survivors of the so-called Anti-Life Equation." Kado explained. "I'm sorry if we disrupted you all, but your Island would've been overrun without us."
"You added our realms into your collection?" A Looper from WILDS!Centipex complained.
"It's more complicated than that. On the real-life day of October 13th, 2023, I embraced the Eclipse, and transformed. My time machine was ready... and then suddenly it glitched, transporting me inside Hypertime, where I saw the world of a jail tower getting destroyed." Kado continued. "After some digging through time and eventually capturing the files, I found out the truth, which you just learned of earlier just after you've arrived."
"Are these the answer to our suspicion?" WILDS!Slone questioned.
"Yeah! We're also trying to locate those leakers! They gave us the infos!" Kado reassured. "In a normal timeline, you will have stolen my machine. To be fair, I already accompanied that version of you right now."
"Uh... where am I?" Trinity is still confused.
"The Island!" The other shouted.
"I am... sorry? I barely even know you at all." Trinity shy out.
"That's because you're not aware of anything until we brought you here." Kado clapped. "I will let you travel and meet the survivors."
The gang then toured around the heist Island, and met various survivors. The most notable of which is in heist Frenzy Field, with a ghost boy flying.
"Hello, Mr. Revenant!" The ghost called, which creeped Trinity out.
"Scared of that little boy? His name is Lex Pastore, he-"
"Don't force us into checking the Charter-dot-org again!" MEGA!Evie yelled at Kado. "It's creepy."
"Actually, he's a good boy. Oh no, I hope the Charter doesn't attack our base." Kado then kicks an ecru cone.
At Sanguine Site, which has Manon and Marisa duking each other for the sport, just as they did in their honeworld.
"Good game, M and M!" Kado greeted the two.
"Two World Fighters? Only seen such ones from before my tank collapsed." WILDS!Slone shrugged.
Meanwhile...
"Hmph. Try again. You can't just cut me down!" Laughs effortlessly tanks the Parall-Axe. "Swing all your want!" *laughs* "I still stay!"
The Final Knight still cutting with the 'Axe, but it doesn't work at all.
"I can read your mind... oh, you don't plan to give up, you want your friends to get as much fighting chance they can get? You're willing to-"
"You're spot on!" The Final Knight responded. "I fight till the end, and I help my allies do so! For all existence! For every-" *explodes*
-*gasp* "Oh no! No!!! This is one of the most R-rated death I ever seen in my whole life!" Travis is terrified.
The rest of the team are equally terrified by the ludicrous gibs, but Laughs simply... laughs.
"If you don't give up and keep resisting like that old man... you die."
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Dark Multiverse...
"Miss Librarian, having done with the lunch, can we finalize the return of this team and have me and sis join?" Kyoman, 10,000th come wants to join the team.
"Zar, Teras, and who else want to join?" Riane raised her hand.
"Miss F.A., me too. I and Jay-P will join as one of the saviors of the existence!" Captain Velvet Meteor approached.
"I and the star council president is in." Viola brought Hoshimatsu. "Oh, and I'd like to freely be able to transform into a magical girl, something I thus far only did because of a Reality Wave days ago."
"I wanna summon both Angela myself and that cyberpunk..." Angela still holding the Librarian of Death and the Edgerunner books. "And we the ultimate mech and get Carmen... my E.G.O... the Library... that's back..."
"Ok? We have to prep even the... Tengen Toppa Zero Point?!"/"わかりました？天元突破ゼロポイントまで準備しなきゃ!?" Tenma Jumpson is surprised.
"Anything that can give us a fighting chance against the Order and save the existence!" Angela scolded.
Meanwhile, the gang has done touring heist and went ahead to rift to other Islands connected to the rescue. And with all that...
"That's all there is as of this moment." Kado bowed.
"Thanks for the rescue. So... I'm just one of the would-be victim." WILDS!Slone admitted. "I get it. Hello, all!"
"Well, I'm gonna meet up and the newer recruits." Kado flew away back to the Estate. "Remember all this!"
"How about we actually hang out at some evergreen fields?" MEGA!Evie suggested.
"I'm sensing something... really weird." Slone noticed. "No, not about any Island. It's... someone."
A few trails of white light with rainbow halos around it was left from a mysterious black woman.
"Oh, that's right." WILDS!Slone noticed as well.
Both Slones then chased the trail.
"Slone... wait!" MEGA!Evie chased as well. "Where are you going?"
As the light trail passes by, the Slones have to trespass, including kicking a few ecru cones and stepping into mud, all which and crashing Loopers do they sorry them. Same goes for the MEGA native. Behind the trail was a mysterious yet alluring melody, which only further enticed the former two into following.
They all arrived at the Apparatus, where the trail slowed and then circled around the black woman. The melody stopped.
"Who are you?" WILDS!Slone pulled out her gun. *aims* "What's with this... light?"
"Yeah, you cannot run away now, can you?" Slone pulled out her gun as well.
"Wait... you look almost like us-"
Then the woman turned back.
"Me?" The woman briefly splitted herself into four different humanoids, and then back.
"You're... a fusion?" MEGA!Evie arrived just in time. "Who are you? I barely even heard an alien of four or something, uh..."
"Hmmm... maybe, as we were only told about some burning alien made of... four humanoids?" WILDS!Slone recalled. "I barely know anything about them at all."
"Well, where were you all along?" Alone questioned.
"So looks like another evil me has been killed." The woman concluded, hinting her to be the said alien.
"What? You're the..." WILDS!Slone is surprised.
"Just call me Chya. Senior Memory Researcher at QDOT, which stands for Quantum Department of Transportation." The woman introduced herself. "In actuality, I am we. I'm the fusion of the Forgotten Four: Pam Rodriguez, Panoa, Rune Zivai and Darya Kane."
"You're a variant of that alien?!" WILDS!Slone is shocked. "These mascots appear to befriend that... fire woman of similar form?"
"I already have visions of her, and I can reveal she's killed by some mascots and their friends." Chya confirmed. "But if you ask how did I come to this conclusion... you're welcome, it's a very good question."
"Wait... so the mascots indeed killed your alternative timeline self?" MEGA!Evie sits down, tired. "Never heard of that alien."
-*flashback* On September 17th, 2022...
"The ultimate Convergiversary has come! Celebrate one year of Convergence Station opening and the salvation of memory!" The residents of Convergence Station celebrated the anniversary. "Give way to the Senior Memory Researcher, the Lady of Convergence... Chya!!!"
The residents welcomed and saluted Chya, whose last year had her stopping the Last Stop which would've opened a glimmer that causes a true multiversal memory storm that would have the Mindsplitter (i.e. Superconductor General Oleander) forcibly rip the memories of all.
The fused alien herself got in the middle 9f C Street.
"Thank you, all of Convergence! It's a honor to attend the 28th anniversary of the Convergence." Chya announced. "The last 365 days were when Conference won't soon forget. On this day last year, not only you found me as the Forgotten Four, a brave Earther reported to Numina and took my collected memories to have the Last Stop be diverted into the oblivion it was going to pull us into."
Secretly, a few Realitiers was prepping to interrupt everything.
"All was certainly almost lost, as the Superconductor General Oleander manipulated me into gathering my components, the Forgotten Four, all the Memories of the Convergence - the psychic lodestones of our reality - and in their collective reunion released the same cosmic powers that brought Convergence together nearly three decades ago." Chya explained. "Oleander, who may have recovered his distant and mentally-dangerous memories as an Chyadelin - which happens to be taken for my name - used the boundless energy released by my deconvergence into the four to open his portal to The Last Stop, right here, in the middle of C Street. A great memory wiping ensued, as he and the glimmer thus started stripping away every memories and memory-related functions of us and essentially turning us into cross of mindless beast and zombies. The Tome of Forgetting nearly came to pass."
"We're gonna take over the building containing this god-damned station!" A Realitier commented while scoping. "It's too annoying and dangerous to be left alone!"
"Luckily, at the last possible moment, our 6th dimensional neighbor, Numina, plucked these powerful Memories out of our timeline - plugging the memory drain and saving our world. I'd like to thank the beave Earther who stepped in those final pivotal moments to save us all from being forgotten." Chya continued her speech. "As you may know, multiple sources recall apparitions of the F4 - not to be confused with the Earth comic Fantastic Four, mind you- calling out to someone unseen, prompting them to summon Numina and send these memories out of our timeline. That Earther, if you learn of this speech... I know you're out there. Thank you for what you did. I won't ever forget you."
"Should we assassinate someone, and call the attack afterwards?" A Realitier asked another.
"Ready the laser, but don't shoot. Yet." That Realitier replied.
-*flashback paused*
"So you were celebrating the 'Convergiversary'? And then being attacked?" Slone asked. "Or what?"
"It's a long story, so you should listen." Chya responded. "It's something to remember. Remember."
"Why else do you constantly tell me about things related to memory?"
