"Take care of your two pals. I have seen them fallen and defeated." Titan!Shang (as Etro) reported to Alpha. "Save them. They're in danger. By someone they're familiar with."
Being a machine he is, Alpha simply obliged and left the room to save the both N and M. Titan!Shang was then about to report everything else to the queen, only for him to...
"Hello there, sorcerer." Masked Kado brought the heist crew (except Khaby Lame, who's absent) and co. to here. "We know who you are, not-Etro."
"What? No, I'm Etro. The Goddess-" Titan!Shang denied, but is headshotted with a Drum Shotgun by Nolan Chance. (The former sorcerer regenerated immediately)
"We know you're impersonating a goddess, Shang Tsung! You're the worst Titan of your existence!" Nolan knew better. "We enemy mine is here to put you to your place... erasure. Am I right?"
"Yeah! We wrecked some wall just to target you!" Fish Thicc laughed.
"You must be kidding." Titan!Shang is annoyed. "Then again, I also know you. Kado Thorne, Nolan Chance, Antonia, Piper Face, Mae, Fish Thicc-"
Cue more headshots by the Drum Gun. Once again, he regenerated.
"How did you get back? You should've have existed anymore, according the Fire God." Antonia cut to the chase. "Or else you eats our ammo."
"Ok fine!" Titan!Shang, unaware that Kado had been recording with the gizmo. "Very well..." *revert back* "When I was erased, my sand ended up in the Retconnian. The corpse of Vril Dox just so happened to be thrown to Retconnian days ago. Then my sand reacted, and assimilated the dead Brainiac, kick-starting my regeneration. With this collector potential made by Coluan tech, my existence was restored, and I assimilated his body, leaving only his armor and chips and all. Fusing his technology with my own powers, I am back. I needed revenge. Liu Kang did me dirty again. So I had to retaliate. And since the Order just so happened to have disposed the old Brainiac, and is doing something more ambitious than I ever was before, I joined them as Etro, the goddess of death. The technology allowed me to shapeshift into anyone in existence... I simply had to enter the Zero Point, to activate the feature. At that point, I'm the strongest, and ready to be in the ranks of Realitiers."
"So you basically infiltrated the Order to revenge against the Fire God?" Mae is flabbergasted.
"You betrayed Reality Zero without anyone even knowing until now!?" Shimmerdusk confronts Titan!Shang. "I don't know if I have entered your timeline before, but from the look of it, you have been treacherous and deceptive."
"Yes, I am. And you are a 'Thorne' to the Order, whether any of you are good or evil." Titan!Shang slowly floats up. "I'm beyond good and evil, and so is the Order."
"Shoot him!" Kado stopped the recording.
The crew and Shimmerdusk shot the Titan sorcerer with differing guns from Loopers' history, slightly excepting Shimmerdusk who uses Wood Stake Shotgun.
"I think he's only barely dented!" Antonia is disappointed.
"Nice." Titan!Shang then kicked down, targeting Kado.
"I'm the only one allowed to hunt-" Shimmerdusk pushed Kado aside, getting eliminated by the kick.
"Shoot!" The heist crew retaliated, shooting against the Titan sorcerer. He shrugged the bullets, and begins to eliminate each by one.
Fish Thicc immediately tapped on Rocket Ram, and rammed onto Titan!Shang and out of the room, and into outside.
Crash-landing in front of dozens of Realitiers, which was knocked down by the Shocker wave, Titan!Shang is relatively unharmed. He immediately choked Fish Thicc and teleported.
"Chug, chug, chug..." Mae finishes the Chug Jug.
"Ok... he's gotta come back any moment now..." Nolan reloads the Infantry Rifle.
Titan!Shang, holding Fish Thicc, has appeared in front of the crew. He then crushed the throat, eliminating the fish.
"Nooooo!!!" Mae screamed, and Dual Pistol her way against the Titan sorcerer.
"We need you as a programmer! Calm down before you-" Nolan noticed the out-of-role attitude Mae is showing.
Cue Titan!Shang clawing the programmer to elim.
"Disappointing." Antonia attempted to flee.
"Please don't! Going alone is dang-" Piper Face warned her, but is decapitated with a tentacle.
Nolan shot repeatedly, but wasn't able to deal lasting damage. As he eventually runs out of ammo, Nolan used a Business Turret as a last resort (pun not intended), and fled. Meanwhile...
"What have you done!?" Alpha barged to the room.
The rebooted girl looked at Alpha, having known the possibility of Alpha being called to rescue the duo.
"I have no interest in you, heartless machine. You're not in our equation." The rebooted girl is annoyed. "You've got to be kidding me, Lost Numbers."
"We meet again, Na'el. And you all. And then some." Alpha came calling.
"It's you!" Na'el recognized the machine.
"I thought you're gone." Matthew as well. "Look, we saved the future. Our descendant defeated the Mobius, and ensured the future we envisioned. And now, one Crisis later, we get to fight alongside them again."
The rest of the Lucky Trinity also arrived.
"Ok, here we- oh... not again!" Future Shulk noticed Alpha. "It's you again!"
"Still a heartless machine, ain't you?" Future Rex mocked Alpha.
"We've met with a familiar interruption." Telos do the blade.
"Oh no, remember that this machine is a Realitier now, so he got a big power boost!" Malal threw an Ouroboros Stone. "And since there's more Ouroboros..." *activates*
"Quick thinking, you-" Alpha is then knocked down by rapid-fire, the same time as a wave.
"Shut up!" The rebooted girl exhibits some extension of the magics originating from her game, indicating some upgrades which explains the rapid-fire and massive boost.
Cue a massive fight between the entire Lucky Trinity and Alpha himself; the latter wields the Monado II, showing off the boost. N and M got up, recovered from the latter's powers and was about to aid Alpha.
"You don't get to try to kill me again." The rebooted girl blocked.
"Oh my gates, you're dangerous and insane!" N swung Another Monado, but the girl deflected.
N and M together coordinated strikes against the girl with the reality weapons, and what the skill and all they have. But the girl actually telegraphed out and intercepted everything the duo did, even blasting with the light and darkness at notice. Getting floored by the spells, both finally noticed the bright light-bluish-plus-iridescent afterimages of the spell and casting, as of it's empowered by the Zero Point.
"You not..." M attempted to weaves off and slash the girl upwards.
The rebooted girl evaded smoothly and brutally choked M, with her other hand converting her darkness spell into a cube with purple aura, seemingly covered with Storm.
"Eat this!" The girl shoved the cube into M's mouth.
At the same time, Nolan and Antonia is tired of running, and don't have any Slap left.
"We're out of Slap Juice, and we're exhausted." Nolan slumps down.
"Wait... the vampire?" Antonia suddenly remembered. "He's still in the room!"
"What?! Thorne is...!" Nolan panicked. "No! We have to find him!"
"We'd like a gizmo, but only he has one." Antonia is disappointed. "The sorcerer is too strong! He's quickly able to eliminate most of us!"
"And he has access to the everything! He only needed Zero Point ro unleash his shapeshifting!" Nolan complained. "The only ones able to rival him in that department is the one that can easily desk with him, and it's Ben 10 with rifted..."
"Omnitrix." Antonia corrected.
"Right, and we should get-"
Then suddenly, the two heard a pop. It was M's head exploding.
"I heard something. Where's the door?" Nolan actually did.
In front of Antonia is actually a very large panel, differently colored than the walls. She got curious and pushed it, and it opens.
"Wow. This door is unique." Antonia steps to the room. "Huh?"
"What have you done!?" N lashed out with one last vision, trying to anticipate the rebooted girl.
The girl then casted a light with summoned rift backlight of sort, blasting the man's head off.
"Knights, tie them off, and force them to see the spectacle!"
Telos used liquid metal to stick them down, and the girl used a supercharged healing to undo the damages done to the duo.
"Done! Enjoy your failing, and know that we're just wanderers chasing justice." Decade confiscated the Another Monado and the Another Blade the weapons. "Remember that!"
Nolan also sighted Alpha struggling against Lucky Trinity, and recognized everyone.
"Oh, it's just... our collaborators." Nolan recalled.
M attempts to unleash her powers, but she and N is electrocuted every time.
"Ignore the two, let's focus on this one." Noah called.
"Hey! We need to help the vampire!" Nolan shouted.
"Oh, is it your crew?" Malal noticed the two. "Hello there."
"Most of them are gone, unfortunately." Antonia recalled. "Titan sorcerer were too strong, some ended up being reckless, and we accidentally left Kado as we flee. You have to rescue them and deal with the sorcerer!"
"I need to assist the crew, sorry." Malal rushed away.
"Beast, come back alive after you're done!" The rebooted girl does care.
The Chaos God and the two heistmen backtracked to Kado, who in Revenant is troubled. He is on verge of elimination, despite all the fight and shots. The group was able to quickly come, due to going for the most direct route possible this time around.
"Isn't it sad, that a villainous vampire die assisting the heroes against reality-breaking threats." Titan!Shang corners and beat down the vampire. "But the real question you should ask is: Is it really sad for a vampire to die fighting said threats?"
"You should have stayed erased!" Malal has arrived.
"Thanks..." Kado crawls out.
"You... you're the ruler of my erasure?!" Titan!Shang is infuriated.
"Technically. I rule over Retconnian, and since you're a complete monster erased from existence, your being now belongs to Retconnian." Malal responded. "And yet, not only you came back with an actual vengeance, but you dare hoard somebody's techs and a goddess' identity!"
"I simply do what I must do, no matter what. And vengeance is required, because Liu Kang ruined me forever." Titan!Shang dismissed. "So I have already resorted to destroying his timeline first like so, and then merge the text and destroy them all... and help the Order take care of the rest."
"You killed my killer. Shut the fuck up!" Kado spewed profane shot.
"They're just obstacle to my vengeance. Liu Kang will suffer in torture and oblivion, and so will all the other Titans." Titan!Shang turns into Kronika. "The multiverse is to be erased, and the Order is to then succeed."
"If you do erase any, I could pluck them off and bring them back." Malal spoke up.
"What!? You...!" Titan!Shang realized who this Chaos God is.
"You even stole other who forced canon into my properties!? Blasphemy!" Malal confronts the Titan sorcerer.
"Poor Brainiac..." Antonia bowed down.
"You... tried to own me by embracing Liu Kang's case!" Titan!Shang is enraged and reverted. "You want my sand back! I will not yield!"
"You have breached the continuity for nefarious purposes!" Malal jumpscared Titan!Shang. "Your don't deserve to exist anymore for what you and the Fire God did, and yet you persisted and assimilated! You shall-"
Titan!Shang teleported out.
"Wait... so those erased from existence gets trapped into Retconnian?" Nolan pointed the workings.
"He may be a villain... but did he do anything wrong to the continuum as everyone knows it?" Antonia mourns Brainiac. "He has only threatened his multiverse and its incarnations, not the full continuum and its workings."
"It's really disproportionate of the Order like so. I hate the collector for somehow stealing my properties, but I do feel bad for him." The beast sits down. "He never intended to threaten my rule or main realm."
"He's worthy of CXA's help, not target." Nolan have the last Chug Jug, giving one to Kado. "Here."
Suddenly, warning sirens.
"I'm relieved it take this long for the alarm to go off." Antonia opens the door. "Let's go!"
Kado finished the Chug Jug, and got back up with Nolan's help. The four came back to O.R.A.C., not knowing it was Titan!Shang who pressed the alarm.
"Who forgot to press the alarm?" Titan!Shang is disappointed.
Meanwhile...
"I feel this is too far of me." Shao noting that being a corrupted Realitier is worse than what he plotted in any timeline.
"I'm afraid the other me had a hand in causing this... somehow." Shang Tsung, from the New Era, commented.
"Have anyone checked in the Mobius Chair yet?" Quan Chi, of the New Era, asked.
"I don't think so." Shang didn't.
"Me neither." Shao as well. "I haven't checked anything beyond the main field."
Neptune as Purple Heart landed down, wanting to ask something.
"What do you want, girl?" Shang noticed.
"Why is all the files about the future Big Bang locked by Anti-Life?" Neptune/Purple Heart questioned. "If the rocket with time getting hijacked or sabotaged or otherwise comprised by the Order, the Project Mobius could succeed and we would be doomed!"
"What's that Big Bang?" The three have no idea.
"You don't know what that kind of Big Bang is?" Neptune/Purple Heart is disappointed. "Here's a note about it."
The note have been defaced with the formula of the Anti-Life Equation.
"Aw, come on!" Neptune/Purple Heart scrapped the note. "The Anti-Life blocked things again! Let's find something else."
The four rushed to a Pandora box, so Neptune can gain power and arbitrate to get infos about the live event. But they spotted a desecrated corpse of Cereza crawling to the box.
"Singularity! Stay away!"
To be continued, before the Big Bang...
