Chapter 0
"DUDE! HE JUST KILLED MUSCLE MAN AND FIVES!"
A frantic, brown raccoon exclaimed as he watched from the sky above and next to him was a tall, blue jay bird who was equally as shocked and disturbed. It didn't help that he was piloting the ship which was giving the duo a clear view of what just went down.
On the ground, and in the air, faces of other friends and allies shared the same reaction. Even Death himself was shocked to see what just transpired. Muscle Man & Hi-Five Ghost didn't just die. They were ERASED.
Floating above the planet's atmosphere was the one responsible for such an action. It was a giant, pure, dark figure that sported a beard-stache, two very large horns on his ridiculously sized circular head with one horn cracked in the middle and wounds visible on his face. The titan possessed armour with shoulder pads and dark clothing along with a large belt.
Down on the planet of Lolliland was an identical figure with vastly different features. For one, he didn't look nearly as evil or nasty. The person was pink, sported only a white mustache and was much, much smaller. However, this was about to change as the pink, large headed person let out an enraged scream, completely engulfing himself in his own purple-like energy.
Within a moment's notice, the same figure could be seen rising up above the planet's atmosphere, prompting the Hyperduck Fusion (which consisted of Eileen, Skips, Benson, Gareth & The Guardians of Eternal Youth, Death, Carter & Briggs, Party Horse and of course, the Baby Ducks themselves) to glare up in the sky and watch, staring on through it's "3003" green coloured glasses.
In contrast to the opposing titan on the other side of the planet, the newly taken form of the pink skinned fellow changed drastically. For one, most obviously, his size was greatly enlarged, now a much better contender for his darker twin. He sported white hair which was spiked up, his eyes now glowed a bright white and wrapped around his waist was a large, red waistband. These were indeed the same figures that were seen in a previous iteration from Earl's retained memory of the fight.
Immediately after the transformation of TITAN Pops, his opposite brother unleashed his fury and blasted his erasure energy onto the planet of Lolliland. Caught into it first was the ship containing Sureshot and his many clones, Toothpick Sally and Recap Bot. In response, Pops retaliates back with an energy blast of his own, temporarily holding off Anti-Pop's attack before it inevitably engulfs the pink blast, erasing the crew from the Space Tree.
Next up was the Hyperduck Fusion and despite the attempts made to save everyone in it, they too were victims of the erasure. Joining them was HD-DVD, Blu-Ray & the sudden reappearence of the Baby Duck's long lost brother, Andy, who was unknowingly caught in the crossfire. The ship containing Mordecai & Rigby shot off of the planet's atmosphere, barely having evaded the converging blasts of the Titans.
A look of dismay, sadness and defeat washed over the faces of the brown raccoon and the blue jay. As they flew out of the crossfire, a sucker punch was delivered to the poor pink-skinned titan who tried desperately to save his friends. Needless to say, it was futile, as he was sent flying into the direction of a recently opened portal ripped from the fabric of space itself. However, his right wrist then twisted into a fist, as a look of determination draws quickly on Titan Pop's face. Shooting off from before the portal could suck him in, he aimed his fist for a surprised-stricken Anti-Pops, before he too, flew with the same intention on his opposing brother.
Circling back in the blue spacecraft, Mordecai and Rigby manage to catch witness of the titans flying toward each other. Images of the tapestry replay in the blue jay's mind, all of which depicted the scenes and consequences of the fists from both titans colliding with each other.
"Dude! The end is coming! We gotta stop it, hang on!"
Frantically, the blue bird piloted the ship into the direction of where the titans fists are expected to meet. Mordecai blasts the ships lasers at Anti-Pops fist, but expectedly, it does nothing.
"It's not working! We gotta eject!"
A panicked Rigby exclaimed, the raccoon now sweating bullets as his hands reached for the eject button, before Mordecai moved them out of the way, still anticipating for the right moment.
"Not yet! We have to fly between them!"
"What!? You're crazy!"
The fists of the titans were soon coming. If the duo didn't act now, they too would be erased with everyone else. The ship tilts upwards, and mere seconds before the oncoming fists collide with each other.
"Now!"
The blue jay commanded, with a sweaty Rigby slamming his hand down on the eject button. Horrifically, the ship's screen displays an error message, and on que, the fists from both opposing gigantic brothers in space make contact, destroying the ship…and the universe with it.
A loud bang is spread across the universe, along with a flash of white before…nothing.
Nothing ceases to exist anymore. No more life, no more death, just…nothing.

13.8 Billion Years Later…
In a regular high school of a regular town of a regular country, we zoom in to a shot of said High School building with the ambience filled with life and noise from the students. We then tilt the camera towards the school sign, the text displaying: "West Anderson High" The camera moves inside the building, passing by several students, before it stops on one outlier. Hiding behind a locker was a certain raccoon that looked…vaguely similar to one from…another timeline. The locker door shuts and we get a full view of this creature.
The raccoon appeared to have bleached-blonde hair that was covered by a Fist Pump trucker style hat, with a green jacket and black t-shirt. In his hands were basic school books for various classes. Like every typical high-school experience, this creature was no exception to the subject of bullying. As this clothed raccoon made an awkward walk to his next class, a sudden shove was sent his way, knocking the wind out of him against the lockers aside him.
"Hey, Rig-Bore! Got ya clothes from the dump?"
The stirrer of such an action made himself known. In front of the creature that was just shoved stood a tall, blond haired jock wearing a red headband, glasses and a red and black volleyball jersey.
"Gah! Jablonski! It's Rigby and you know that!"
The raccoon cursed, and picked himself up, grumbling to himself as he watched his bully take off with that annoying laugh of his. After gathering and picking up his things, he is approached by an all-too familiar figure. The person in question was a tall blue jay with brown hair and braces, wearing a white t-shirt with a red collar and sleeve cuffs with the words "Brain Explosion" written on the front, and grey jeans and red sneakers.
"Yo, dude!"
The bird called out to his friend. Said friend however, trying to stay optimistic despite having just been shoved against the lockers, returned the greeting with a forced smile, and approached the tall blue jay with the intent of initiating a fistbump between the two.
"Yo, Mordecai! Wassup!"
The two exchange their greetings and walk along the school hallway.
"Dude, I can't wait to go to College U!"
"Yeah! Everyone gets into College U!"
"COLLEGE U! COLLEGE U! COLLEGE U!"
The two said in unison before walking into a random class.
Fast forward a few months later, the duo would find themselves involved in a whole lot of things, for better or for worse. For starters, the two would find themselves engaged in TV Show icon, RGB2. Their obsession with the sentient TV with arms would lead to Rigby buying boxes of RGB2 cereal in pursuit for a cheap, gimmicky toy only found in 1 in 5 boxes. Food poisoning struck the pair, leaving them bedridden in hospital for a couple of days, much to the annoyance of Principal Dean.
"Well…at least we got the toy…"
"Screw the stupid toy! We're stuck in hospital! Thanks a lot, Rigby!"
The blue jay tossed the cheaply made RGB2 toy at the bedridden Rigby, causing the raccoon to squeal in pain, both from the toy and the amount of cereal they consumed, which was confirmed to be borderline poison.
After being discharged from the hospital and returning back to High School, Rigby would once again find himself in trouble with the VBJ (Volleyball Jocks), this time, having costed the team's chance at the championship with a horrid play of the saxophone, distracting everyone and left an opening for the other team to score. On an even worse note, Rigby is briefly informed by Principal Dean that he won't be able to pass Science class as a result of the former's actions.
"Mr. Ross needs to talk to you ASAP."
Confused, the raccoon furrowed an eyebrow.
"What why?"
Irritated, Principal Dean puts a hand on his temples, rubbing it before responding back in a fed up tone.
"I don't know, something about you failing science or something. Just go talk to him. I don't think this school can handle another Year of the Rigby!"
As the Principal walks away, a frantic look crosses the bleached haired raccoon's face, turning to look up at his blue jay friend.
"Dude! I don't want to fail science! Dad's gonna kick me out of the house!"
"Relax. We'll just talk to Mr. Ross like Principal Dean said. Who knows, he's probably not still mad at you for ruining his game."
A nervous chill went down the shorter friend's spine, as they walked down the hallway and into the gym.
One talk with Mr. Ross later, Rigby is given an extra credit assignment to come up with a last minute science project by the end of the afternoon. Scrambling for ideas, the raccoon begged for an example.
"Please, please, PLEASE!"
Annoyed, the gym teacher groaned, before he snapped back at the 3'5ft student.
"Ugh! Fine! You're the worst!"
The gym teacher leads the two students to the science room, whom he quickly closes the door, locks it shut and closes the blinds. The fit man makes his way to his desk and opens the drawer, before placing an "in-the-works" project on the desk. Whatever it was, it had a round like structure with four flips on the side and a button in the middle.
"Woahhh…what is that?"
"A little project I'm working on. It's a time machine."
"Coooooool!"
The raccoon and blue jay exclaim in unison, easily amazed at what they were seeing.
"Does it work?"
Rigby asked with a curious glint in his eyes. Mr. Ross simply chuckles, leaning back on his desk as he soon responds.
"Not yet. It's like, super complex so I don't expect you two to get it. But hey, I'll dumb it down for ya, anyways. It's like when you try to make artisanal bread, but a thousand times more complicated. You guys wanna see something even cooler?"
Standing back up straight, the gym teacher gestures to the two to follow him into a storage room of the science class, giving the two yellow radioactive suits as he puts one on himself.
"Don't you boys tell anyone you saw this."
He lets out a weak cough, as he unlocks a box containing what looked like a glowing green light, before it's revealed to be plutonium.
"Grade-A plutonium. One stick of this in my time machine, and I'll be time travelling like that guy in that movie about time travelling."
The gym teacher let out an ominous laugh, before closing the box as the three leave the storage room, with Mr. Ross locking it shut. All three proceed to take off the radioactive suits.
"So the Time Machine…what're you gonna use it for, Mr. Ross?"
The raccoon looked up at the teacher to ask.
"Two things: go back and win the Volleyball State Championship, duh. And then... Get revenge."
In response to such a serious comment, the friends laugh it off, before Rigby replies back.
"And that's why you're the coolest, Mr. Ross!"
"I'm glad you think so. You'd probably change your mind if you knew who I was getting revenge on."
The blue jay and raccoon continue to laugh it off. Mr. Ross just snickers, before he hands over the science keys to the duo.
"Here. Just make a science project sometime this afternoon, and I'll pass you."
The raccoon's eyes glimmered with hope as he caught the keys and held it tightly.
"Ah, sweet! I'm going to College U with my best bro-oh! Woahhhh!"
Mordecai and Rigby high five each other, as they chant the phrase "College U!" on the way out of the science lab. Once more, an evil laughter arises from Mr. Ross's mouth, before a sudden cough interrupts it, then goes back to laughing once more.
"God, I gotta get that checked out."
Later…
The duo return back to the lab with the science project (being a volcano that has an incredible amount of detail put into it) in Rigby's hands.
"Can't go wrong with a lava volcano!"
"Yeah-yuh!"
Mordecai and Rigby chuckle as Rigby places his project on a table, before scrambling to write a note.
"Thanks for the extra credit. I lava science" Hmm, hmm. Signed…"Rigby". Hehehehe."
"Dude, you spelt your name wrong."
The raccoon double checks his writing and unsurprisingly, he did misspell his name. Frustrated, Rigby places a B between the G and Y, before slamming the pen down onto the note.
"Bam! Can't even notice!"
"Yeah…hey, do you think Mr. Ross was actually serious about his side project being a Time Machine?"
The blue jay inquired, as his eyes lingered on the storage room door. Rigby turned to look his friend's way, shrugging.
"I don't know man. But it looks cool."
"It's totally cool."
"Totally cool."
Then, an idea clicks in Rigby's head, as a sly grin grows on his face. The blue jay takes notice of this, and shakes his head.
"I know what you're thinking, dude. No."
"But c'mon! Imagine the things we can do with it!"
"Are you insane!? You want us to get suspended from school or worse!?"
"But how could we if we just travel in time and stop us from getting in trouble in the first place?"
While Rigby's statement was completely flawed, what with the consequences of said notion could bring, the blue jay, as level-headed as he is, was just too easily persuaded by Rigby's antics. That, and the idea of Time Travelling was starting to fascinate him a bit.
"Augh, fine. Let's do this then."
The two pull out the machine from Mr. Ross's desk drawer, placing it on the desk. Then they put on the radioactive protection suits, the pair grabbing the box out from the storage room and slamming it down on the desk next to the machine.
"You ready, dude?"
Mordecai asked with a sense of uncertainty, his hand on the lid of the box.
"Heck yeah I'm ready! Let's do this, Mordecai!"
The blue jay shrugged, before ripping open the lid of the box. Mordecai carefully grabs a piece of Plutonium, and places it in the centre of the machine. Rigby then moves the flaps of the machine up so that it completely covers up the glowing green piece, the machine now resembling that of a volleyball.
"Now to press the button."
At the same time, Mordecai and Rigby place their hands on the red button. For a moment, nothing happens.
"Wait, wha–"
BOOM!
The machine explodes on itself, flinging Mordecai and Rigby back against the tables and chairs. Groaning in pain, Rigby tilts his head up and observes what appears to be a green crystal inside a miniature tornado, before it zooms out into the school hallway, before disappearing through a portal.
"Holy crap…Mordecai! Look!"
"Huh…wha-"
The blue jay barely retained his senses in time to witness the small tornado disappear out of thin air. All of a sudden, the smoke alarm in the science lab goes off, alerting the nearby teachers. Mr. Ross and Principal Dean rush to the science lab, only to see it completely destroyed.
"What the FUCK!? What happened here!?"
Principal Dean cried out as he rushed to pick up Mordecai and Rigby under the rubble of the mess. The blue jay began a coughing fit and Rigby groaned in pain, before instantaneously, they both went away.
"Me and…Rigby were trying to make a Time Machine using Mr. Ross's plutonium."
"Yeah! But we didn't know that would happen!"
A panicked look drew on the gym teacher's face, as nervous sweats fell off his fit body. Principal Dean, on the other hand, reacted to this very differently. An enraged look was visible on his face, and in an instant, started snapping on the spot.
"So you're telling me you've tried to make a time machine, using Mr. Ross' plutonium, AND BLEW UP THE WHOLE SCIENCE LAB?!"
"Yeah."
The blue jay and raccoon nodded.
"Okay, I can expla–"
As soon as Mr. Ross speaks up, a clean punch strikes the gym teacher's face, as he's tackled to the ground, before being lifted up with one arm.
"You're going to jail, Ross! And you two, I'm calling your parents! You two are expelled!"
"But what about College U!?"
The blue jay spoke up, completely shocked to hear he and Rigby were being expelled.
"FORGET IT! Now get out of here and never come back! Get moving, Ross. Your ass is being thrown into the slammer!"
Principal Dean shoves the former teacher forward, all while keeping a tight grip on his hand.
"I'll be back for you, Rigby! I'll be back!"
Ross yelled out in defeat before the cough interrupts him again.
"God damn, I gotta get that checked out."
Mordecai and Rigby sigh, as they both leave the school through the newly created hole in the classroom.
"That sucks man."
"Yeah."
"You really think we'd see Mr. Ross again?"
The raccoon inquired, unsure whether to doubt the statement or not.
"No, that's what everyone says but nothing really comes out of it."
"You're probably right."
The two walked in silence for a while, walking down the street which was now being crowded by several police cars, other witnesses and a Channel Six Helicopter.
"Hey, wanna go to Paparelli's?"
"Yeah, man. Sounds good."
The two continued to walk down the street, completely ignoring the fact that they just blew up their school's science lab and pretty much got away with it, also minding the fact that more and more cars were driving down the street to rush to the school.
Not long after, the duo's relationships with their parents would start to worsen overtime. For Mordecai, it was him with his mother. Everytime Mordecai brought over a girl, whether it be for study or just to hang out, it was always made awkward for both parties. A prime example of this was the time with Daphne Gonzales. Needless to say, Mordecai would never dare touch a prune again nor would he bring a girl over to his place for a long time.
Rigby, on the other hand, had a very difficult time seeing eye to eye with his father, in the literal sense and in just…about anything. For one, he never really did anything noteworthy in school, besides the time he blew the Volleyball State Championship AND destroyed the science lab. Another thing was that he was lazy and uncommitted to basically everything that didn't interest him. But worst of all, he was nothing like his younger brother, Don.
Don was already double, no, triple his brother's height and he was still middle school age. Despite this though, he had already received a scholarship for the best school in the country, even greater than that of College U. Although Don had no ill feelings for his brother and had always admired him, Rigby had a bit of a disdain for him. People often mistook Don as the older brother, cheering him with praises only Rigby could dream of and to make things worse, had all his friends ditch him for the "cooler" brother.
Regardless, the two seemed to be on somewhat decent terms until Don left for his new school. Which left Rigby, or rather, his parents, to have more time to spend with each other. In reality, much development between the three had hardly progressed, and this was most evident between father and son. If there was a list of things his father would rank, it would go: His Car, Don, Everything else and Rigby. All in that order.
Getting kicked out of High School though, pissed his father off to no end, which resulted in several beatings and a temporary kick off the streets.
"Brrr…stupid dad…s-stupid school…I D-DDON'T NEED AA-ANY OF YOU!"
The raccoon cried out in the night, as he shivered his way to a lone bench in a park. On this bench however, rested a lone, red keyboard. The restless, shivering raccoon took quick notice of this, and ran straight for the object.
"W-wwwoah…cool…!"
Rigby sat on the bench, no longer caring about the cold of the night or the other bad thing that happened prior. What he was focused on was the keyboard. There was just…something about this that intrigued the brown raccoon. He stroked his shaking fingers along the keys which played a beautiful electronic melody. He kept his eyes down on the keyboard. It was as if this was going to be the thing that would change his life.
And oh boy, it would.
