The Adds went back to the hall earlier than the others. Most of them were troublemakers, so they came back before they got reported to the security. Code: Antithese saw this as an opportunity to catch them and led everyone back to the hall.

And a bag of flour fell into Code: Antithese's head as she opened the door.

"Got 'em good!" Overmind and Twins Picaro shouted together. They clapped their hands and high fived each other.

Doom Bringer and Flame Lord just shook their heads really fast and crossed their arms. They still wanted to live another day, so they kept walking further away from Code: Antithese. Dius Aer already turned pale and helped Code: Antithese to clean herself from the flour.

But the certain Queen of Nasods laughed and glared at Overmind as she swept away the flour. "That's a good one. Now I'm even more convinced you're the perpetrator of these potions!"

"Oh, you mean these?" Overmind smirked and showed familiar potions to Furious Blade and Timoria on his right hand.

"You actually have them?!" Oz Sorcerer shouted in surprise and dropped her jaw. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, even if it was already clear Overmind did it. She never knew what the potions look like, but she definitely never saw the one in his hands now.

Overmind sighed and folded his arms. "Of course I do. I can give a permanent Amnesia Potion to Elsword if you want him that badly."

Oz Sorcerer's face turned red instantly. "N-No! Please no! I'm just curious why you never used it on us!"

"We'd be dream demons by now if I use the potions for fun. I'll let the others use it," Overmind waved his hand with a smile.

"But when did you meet Mad Paradox?" Oz Sorcerer asked again in curiosity. They've been together a lot as a team, so when exactly did this meeting happen?

"I'm not around you guys all the time," Overmind answered and patted Mad Paradox's head. "And he just happened to show up."

"Stop patting me!" Mad Paradox slapped Overmind's hand with a pout.

"He's too short, he can't even slap my face," Overmind laughed at him instead.

"How was the meeting?" Code: Esencia asked with a smile. It sounded like a friendly meeting, despite the weird method.

Around two years ago, Mad Paradox was still called Diabolic Esper, but we will mention him as Mad Paradox to not confuse the readers. He was in desperation to go back to the past, destroying every timeline. If his calculation didn't work, then he would brute force by deleting all the timeline until he only got one remaining timeline to go, which was his own past.

He got into a timeline where demon invasion was way worse than his timeline. Instead of fighting demons in Elrios, they were on an attempt to go to the demon world instead. But anyway, this timeline was definitely not his, so he had to destroy it. He just had to stop time and destroy it, easy as that.

But for some reason, he was the one stopping instead. The Add in front of him was Overmind, who was still titled Dissembler at the time. "Get better. Even demons still do sneak attacks," Overmind cackled and casted a cure on Mad Paradox. "Spit it out. What do you need? I'm not an expert in healing mental health issues."

Mad Paradox was confused instead of angry. This was the first time he found his other self that could fight back. Maybe he wasn't the only one trying to go back to the past. What if his past timeline was already destroyed? "I'm trying to go back to the past," he answered truthfully.

And of course Overmind knew he wasn't lying. He would do the same if he didn't find his mother's research. "Alright, here," Overmind smirked and gave a bunch of colorful potions to Mad Paradox. They were all packed in a case. "Each potion has its own effect that will run out after 24 hours, no side effects after that. If you have comrades, just distract them with this while you're destroying timelines or whatever."

"Um… Thanks…?" Mad Paradox said to Overmind and tilted his head in confusion.

"Come again to destroy this world if those potions didn't work. I would like to see you try," Overmind cackled and waved his hands as a goodbye. Mad Paradox saw him approaching his group from a distance.

He went back to his timeline. There was a paper in the case–a list of the potion effects. He thought about it for a bit. Some girls were acting very obvious, like Metamorphy or Twilight. Maybe they would even use something like this to get their crush. He sneaked it into the girl's room with the hope they would use it, so they would get a distraction while he traveled through time and space.

The first one to discover the potion case was Twilight. And unexpectedly, she decided to keep it for herself for a while until she decided to use it on everyone.

Mad Paradox's eyes widened after recalling the memory. He didn't realize it until today and he got annoyed with it. "You're using me as your experiment subject! Are you happy now you get to see what happens with the potions?!" he yelled and smacked Overmind with his Dynamo like a kid on a tantrum.

"You did it! You came to me saying you went back to the past, then what did you do? You didn't destroy my timeline. Now I know I can go back to the past if I really want to. It's possible!" Overmind laughed maniacally, enjoying his moment of seeing his experiment subject whining after the whole two years of being clueless. Twins Picaro didn't know much of what was happening, but she laughed as well. All she knew was Mad Paradox getting pranked and it made her happy. "You even came to me for help when Twilight got swapped with Prophetess. Aw, sweetie~ Are you mad?" Overmind smirked and pinched Mad Paradox's cheeks.

"Now, now," Minerva smiled and pulled Mad Paradox's body from the back. His boyfriend pouted and hid behind her, staring at Overmind with his left eye. "Let's do something until midnight. We still have a lot of time!"

"I'm liking my time discussing stuff. I just want to chill," Oz Sorcerer smiled and took a random seat. "Our timeline is messed up. We're gonna face Ran in the demon realm, you know?"

"Oh? Make sure to smash his head for me, please," Devi smiled with killing intent. She never met Ran again in her timeline, but if her other self could, then she would cheer on them and imagine their victory by brutally killing the demon.

"It's interesting how we can meet our other selves, yet it feels like we're meeting an entirely different person," Code: Esencia smiled and looked at everyone. She walked toward Code: Antithese–and obviously everyone could tell the huge difference between them. "Both of us were in a capsule, but while I was there to be safe, Code: Antithese was in danger."

"Everyone has a different way of thinking. It's not surprising," Flame Lord smiled and grabbed Genesis' shoulders from the back. "You're included! Come on, you're not a puppet. Go ahead and think of something!"

"All Elswords are the same braindead idiots. The timelines made them different instead," Dominator said bluntly and laughed at Genesis, who didn't even get offended by his words.

"Do a prank with Twins Picaro!" Twins Picaro shouted and grabbed Genesis' hand to approach Mad Paradox. She summoned a giant rocket to hit him. Both Mad Paradox and Minerva didn't expect an attack and they got blown away.

Boom!

The hall's wall got destroyed just like that. Twins Picaro clapped her hands with a smile while the others glanced at Code: Antithese, who was still smiling, but probably would end Twins Picaro's life at any moment.

Mad Paradox and Minerva teleported back to where they were standing. Mad Paradox fixed the wall by reversing the time. Now it looked like nothing had happened.

"Don't mess with someone's world now. You'll be cursed into a chicken," Overmind chuckled and pinched Twins Picaro's cheeks lightly.

"Twins Picaro doesn't want to be a chicken! Sorry not sorry?" Twins Picaro giggled and scratched her head.

"Oh, I can only hear "bock, bock!" from you! You're turning into a chicken!" Overmind gasped and covered his mouth in surprise.

Twins Picaro screamed in panic. She went down on her knees and begged for forgiveness, but everyone laughed at her. "Aw, sweetie~ You actually fell for it!" Overmind laughed and clapped his hands.

"Wah?! Twins Picaro is pranked?!" Twins Picaro got up and chased Overmind all across the hall like kids playing tag.

Code: Antithese chuckled, despite what had happened. "How can you be stressed in the demon realm when you have comrades like these?"

"Well…" Oz Sorcerer sighed and looked at them. "I… don't? They're only like this when we're not in battle."

Code: Antithese used her drone to order food. She spent her life focusing on stopping crime, so she didn't know a simple thing such as good food to be enjoyed together in a group. She called Doom Bringer and Flame Lord, making the couple think they were going to get punished.

Dominator glanced at them for a bit. He thought something was really weird, even though he just got here. "Why did she not ask Dius Aer? He's literally next to her," he said and pointed at Dius Aer with his thumb.

The train from Hamel to Velder didn't take longer than 30 minutes, so two people went to Hamel to visit the famous aquarium. There were various sea creatures swimming around like it's their own natural habitat.

"We should've gone to a pool instead. You'll get to see me wet," Bloody Queen chuckled as they walked out of the aquarium. More like, getting kicked politely because it was the closing time. Even the train was already empty.

Fatal Phantom looked out the window, but there was only the sea and the moon during the night. "Why are you saying that? Are you wet right now?" He asked and faced Bloody Queen, who seemed like she was enjoying herself.

"Hm… Maybe this is the legendary love at first sight?" She smiled and held Fatal's Phantom cheeks with her hands. He wasn't attractive and lacked expressions, but she loved him. She loved when someone wanted to play around with her–and now she wanted him. "I love you," she said with an unintentionally creepy smile. Her eyes had yellow glows like how she looked at her prey in battle.

Fatal Phantom gave a sad smile and held her right hand. He suddenly thought of Timoria, even though they were just friends. Why did he think of her now, when Bloody Queen was in front of him? He did have a special time with her because everything was more fun for some reason, but nothing more than that. "We can't be together."

But Bloody Queen didn't care. She grabbed both his hands, pinned them on the train window and sat on his lap. She wanted to do so many things to him before the train stopped. Nobody was watching anyway. Surprisingly to her, Fatal Phantom didn't even react and just stared at her. "We can't, Elesis. We're from different timelines–"

"I know! Why, Chung? Do you have someone else in mind?" Bloody Queen smiled and leaned her face closer. Fatal Phantom was actually trying to free himself, despite the lack of expressions, but her strength was way stronger. She lifted up his chin with her free hand. "I'm not playing around. I'll force you if I have to."

"Go ahead and see how Noah would react when he finds out," Fatal Phantom replied with a straight face, but his words surprised Bloody Queen.

Bloody Queen hesitated, but she wanted to at least kiss him on his lips. It was worth a shot because aside from the stoic reaction, Fatal Phantom's face actually turned red from that one. "Damn, that's a cute reaction! Will this world arrest me for harassment? But I'm disappearing back to my timeline anyway," she smiled and traced his body with her finger.

The time felt short… because the train stopped. Both of them were back to Velder with only a little money left Bloody Queen had from Flame Lord. It wasn't midnight yet, so it gave Bloody Queen some ideas. "We're going to karaoke but not to sing. I'm stealing you first!"

Fatal Phantom's face flushed redder. "H-Huh?! Wait–!"

Everyone was finally back to the hall… except two people. "Hm… I have a really bad feeling. I think you might need to work extra!" Overmind smiled and poked Mad Paradox's cheeks with his fingers.

"No! Where's my payment?!" Mad Paradox pouted and smacked Overmind with his Dynamo for probably the thousand's time.

"Huh… What happened here?" Code: Antithese sighed and crossed her legs while sitting on the podium. She suspected the missing two people were in love with each other, but she didn't have proof for it.

After a few more minutes of waiting, Bloody Queen and Fatal Phantom were finally back. They all gathered around Code: Antithese. "It was nice to meet everyone. Hope we can meet again in the future," she smiled and waved her hands.

Everyone was saying goodbye to their other selves. Even though they didn't talk much during the day, it was oddly fun and exciting to see your other selves.

The Elswords, who usually convinced Knight Emperor to play around, were convincing Genesis to act on his own will for once. They might do the same if they were given the same power, but it was sad to see one of them end up in a state of being a puppet.

The Aishas were just talking with each other, still curious with how Lord Azoth made her potions. Too bad there wasn't enough time for them to study it, so each of them got several potions from her instead.

The Renas were cheering each other to take care of the El Gang. Sadly it wasn't in Prophetess' list to take care of them. She could be called as one of the troublemakers.

The Ravens were finally reaching a conclusion for once. No matter what happened, Seris died and they got a Nasod arm. The rest was just up to them to live up their new life.

The Eves shared their core's data to each other. Code: Antithese probably didn't need any of it, but it might be useful in the future. To the others, her code was too chaotic to be implemented.

The Chungs were promising each other to protect everyone because it was their nature to do it. Fatal Phantom didn't really feel the same, so he just nodded to everything they said.

The Aras were in shock of how Devi bluntly said a few gruesome ways to defeat Ran. Apsara even got concerned with how much Devi hated their enemy, but she probably needed that feeling to fight off the demon soon.

The Elesises were just shouting at each other. While Bloody Queen always looked like she lost it, they were still treating her like a normal friend to talk to.

The Adds were just laughing at how Overmind turned everyone into a meme. Mad Paradox was still getting teased and he didn't know what to do anymore.

The duo demons were talking about the demon world in their timeline for research. There must be the most effective way to get their throne back.

The Roses… well… they were happy with how everyone got to meet all of their own selves now. Since four of them always met every time the timeline got ruined, it was just a normal day for them.

The Ains were still asking Richter on how to talk to Ishmael. Sadly Richter couldn't help with that one, but the Ishmael that talked to him could answer a few questions for them.

The Labys were playing with each other like kids would do. Even though Nisha was the most mature of them all, she was still willing to join. She would do anything to make Laby happy, after all.

The Noahs were trying to make Liberator talk to them, but none of them understood sign language. Not even Clamor, so they were playing a guessing game instead.

"No more breaking timelines for now, please. I want to sleep," Mad Paradox said with an annoyed look, but deep inside he was begging everyone to stop messing around. Everyone started disappearing, slowly going back to their own world.

"I want him."

Bloody Queen smiled and hugged Fatal Phantom tightly from the back. She laughed, but she wasn't fully happy, since she's well aware she can't even be with him.

She will do whatever she can.

There were yellow glows on her eyes as she covered Fatal Phantom's eyes with her hands. "I'm taking him with me!"

Crack! Crack! Crash!

And so… the timelines broke once again.

Code: Antithese laughed at her current employees–which weren't the people she usually worked with. "I knew this would happen. Lucky we're on days off now, no?"

"I… Oh my god!" Twilight covered her face and squatted down. Just when she finally got back to her timeline, she was back here.

"Um… I… don't know what to say anymore," Shakti smiled awkwardly and looked around her.

"Can I work at the clinic for money? I need more snacks for tomorrow," Nyx Pieta said as he opened the chocolate pack in his pocket.

"Hm… This can be a change of pace," Rage Hearts smiled and looked around.

Mad Paradox just laid down and facing the floor. "F-ck these people…"

"Welcome, I guess!" Tempest Burster smiled and welcomed them to the team… for now.

idk what to do anymore

OniTenshi500

Overmind: Run now before you get controlled~!

Revenant: What the hell is wrong with you?

Code: Antithese: Hm, I see! That would be nice, but I like to control everything myself.

Overmind: Why don't we have mind control potion for once? Maybe Bloody Queen can continue whatever she wanted to do to Fatal Phantom. Hey, Bloody Queen-

Mad Paradox: *floats with his Dynamo and covers Overmind's mouth* Don't give her ideas!

Bloody Queen: *approaches* Hey~! What do you need?

Revenant: Say hi to our reviewer.

Bloody Queen: Hi there!
