Chapter 303: Those Who Rebel Against the Ultimate Crises of Infinite Earths.

Despite how many sacrifices it took the natives of the Prime Universe to escape with the Multiversal Rebel Alliance, the fact remained that they escaped all the agents of the IV&C because their master was not there, and the reason that Sieg was late to his own party was because someone had diverted his attention and we now turn to see just who that was.

After the report he got in the Palace of Power, Sieg and Mary traveled across the Multiverse to land in the ruins of the world Westeros.

The medieval world was one of the easiest worlds for the IV&C to take over…but that was why the local forces were caught off guard when they were suddenly attacked with enough force to cause real damage.

At the moment Sieg and Mary descended to where the attacker was last spotted. Sieg stepped foot in the throne room of the Red Keep in the city of the King's Landing capital, and saw shattered IV&C servants all around him before he heard a burp. He saw the only living person was sitting in the throne, the Iron Throne, beneath the seven-pointed star of the Faith of the Seven.

The throne was allegedly forged from a thousand swords that had been surrendered to a king Aegon in his conquest by the lords who had offered their fealty.

Sieg saw all the vaporized corpses, and then looked out a shattered wall to see all the destroyed warships before he snickered." My…after all this time I almost thought you were a man who's instincts rivaled my own, but seems like your just a fool who's luck at last ran out eh…Doug Fitter?"

He and Mary saw Doug casually sitting over the iron throne and chugging a beer. The former member of Squad 7 that became the Devil just threw his wine away before he let out a laugh." Man…been hearing all about how smug you are in one universe or another but you really are quite the asshole eh man?"

Mary saw Doug laugh again before she let out a sigh of disgust." How revolting, you been hearing all about us only for you to be so insolent enough to just attack are property so casually and be oblivious to the consequences?"

Doug eyed Mary before he cracked his neck." Wow…you really are Lacus with no filter eh cunt? I know just what I was doing. I was hear before because I was checking things out and enjoyed the drinks when I was hear.

But when I came back some asshole burned down the god damn bar, so I gave them a piece of my mind! And that's when I realized I seen enough and wanted to talk so I made some noise, and lo and behold."

Sieg saw Doug looked completely at ease before he looked around, and then felt for anything in the planet, and then the entire universe that he was not aware of, before he snickered." Oh…so you came to your senses and wanted to beg for salvation?"

Doug spat on the ground before he threw his drink into the wall next to him so had he shattered it." I thought you knew everything asshole? But you sure as hell don't know me if you think I'm begging to anyone. Man, Ben has been insecure as hell but you're like that dialed all the way up to nine thousand with a stupid ass goatee to top it off! Old man Myers at least was sincere about his beard!"

Sieg readjusted his tuxedo before he narrowed his eyes." You being a clueless buffoon is running out of amusement to me, for your even more obvious if you think I am insecure."

"That's a joke right? The only man who says he never loses and tries to make every damn cell of every universe his is someone who's so insecure that he won't feel safe till he brands every damn thing there is, and that makes you even more insecure then bro."

Sieg had his eyes glow golden before the planet started to shake with every step he took." I see your comparing me to inferior brands that confused you, but I am far superior to the likes of your" Bro" and I proved it.

You may not be able to comprehend someone so superior to you but the majority of the multiverse, be they hero, god, or other drunken fools like you have been forced to submit to the superiority of the Negaverse."

"Save the self-promotion for someone that's buying that crap asshole." Doug uttered as he slowly walked up." I have been to the "Dark" part of the Multiverse, but like Ben you guys keep looking for what you expect.

Yah, chock full of edgy guys and gals there that seem fated to be maxed out on the savage stuff but so what? Some folk may be born knowing things, but some others can learn how to play the game real damn quick when they want to not get owned."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Sieg uttered as he took out his golden gun." I won't deny your own history impressed me. You were written off as the side kick but your sheer drive to not let anyone, any hero, any order, nor any "God" tell you what you deserve ended up with you becoming one of the most powerful men in the Prime Universe.

I won't deny such logic, such hunger drove me to take what I deserved to. And…if you and Brad Fowltror did not do what you did, the multiverse, and thus my existence might not have happened. For that you have my respect, and that's why you're not already dead.

But your pride will cost you everything Doug. You fail to realize your superior. But I'm the best of you, Ben, and everyone else, I'm the apex predator of the entire multiverse and everyone must submit to that. You could have just about everything, but you really will throw it all away for your worthless pride."

"Look at you. You little Machiavellian asshole. You think you know everything and yet you don't understand why a man cares about his pride?"

"Oh but I do understand all about pride Doug. But it's just that, in the end the winner's pride trump's all, and you can either hang on to your pride as you die, or settle. But if you really want to defy destiny then c'mon…make it amusing enough for me to make it quick."

"So you're fated to win eh? That's why your hell bent on blowing up every universe so no one can take what you know your sorry ass does not deserve?"

"I fear no one…but I'm a man of business so I'm just streamlining the multiverse to its most productive state. "

"Piff…can't even be honest about it to the end eh jackass?"

"But I am honest about my intentions, if people don't see how I see reality then I'll make them see things my way. In the end you make your own reality.

And once you've done it, apparently, everyone's of the opinion it was all so god damn obvious. But history is written by the winners after all. The future is real. The past is all made up by whoever enforces their reality of the past."

"Till people are pissed off enough to drag people back to reality! You think you can hold on so damn tight that it's yours forever but everything, everywhere, is always moving. Forever. Get used to it. I been seeing your trying to make some big fancy " Oblivion machine" to blow everything up but even that's not enough to make things go your way."

Sieg eyed Doug carefully before he shrugged." And you think you know more then me? I think it's time we…settle are accounts."

"Like I'm some damn nerd…it's just instinct."

In the blink of an eye Doug went to punch Sieg, only for Sieg to fire a bullet instantly. The official devil of the Prime universe countered by unleashing Omega Beams from his eyes to erase the bullet and unleashed a roundhouse kick to knock the gun out of his opponent's hand.

However his target casually fired a bullet of raw energy from his finger where the gun was, and Doug warped out of the way before Sieg snickered." The Gun's just for my brand…I don't need anything. But the more you make this difficult, the worst your punishment is going to be."

Sieg widened his eyes before Doug felt something, and instantly moved to the right. He saw spikes appear where his body just was, projectiles summoned by the Sukunahikona: Rapid Succession spell before he spat in Sieg's direction. "Think your clever shrinking your attacks like a wuss? I can feel the moment something's off."

"Your mastery of Ultra instinct is respectable. But no matter how keen your instincts are…. devil or no your punch's still can't reach infinity!"

Doug unleashed a barrage of punch's, and saw they did not seem to reach Sieg before he narrowed his eyes." Like hell they can't! If I need to punch everything…then I'll do it! Infinite…Hell…Shoryuken!"

Doug made the Enmaten sign with his hands before his fist glowed black. He then unleashed a punch that caused an explosion of black energy that went into the sky, and through the moon. Sieg widened his eyes as he felt a cut across his cheek before Doug's grin widened." If I just hit everything then even being "infinite" won't do jack, GUH!"

In an instant Sieg punched through Doug while hissing out," Neither will one minor injury make me fold. I'm impressed…you do have good instincts…but its not enough."

Doug tried punching with his other fist, but the leader of the IV&C casually caught his punch even as the blow caused a shockwave that caused all of King's Landing to collapse.

Sieg saw Doug's anger and laughed as he unleashed enough power to make Doug fall to his knees." All that barking and this is all you can do? Your even more pathetic then Auro and his family! You delayed me enough from my destiny."

He pointed his gun at Doug before he shrugged." You may have been untouchable to the" Enji" but you're just a wild dog for me to put down. I'm going to enjoy breaking you in."

"Yah I'd rather die then be your lap dog."

"You think you're the first to bark before I broke you in? You think an organization from the Negaverse most extreme members are bounded by " friendship?" Since you surprised me I'll let you in on something…the majority of my employees are people I concurred or killed…and then I either rearranged there memories or revive them into my employees. Many of my most productive employees are those who wanted me dead before they " saw the light."

"You really are one greedy piece of, GUH!"

Sieg held Doug down harder as his eyes widened." I am the winner after all, its only natural I get what I deserve. I want everything you can possibly imagine. I want money and women, power and sex, status, glory! I demand the finer things in life! Unfortunately I'm greedy as can be. I want your life too, Doug. And I will have it, just because I can!"

"See…you think this proves your strong but it proves how fragile you really are if you can't get your way without having to control everything. How many people you convinced to do something without brainwashing them or forcing them at gun point?"

"I got my whole original universe to rally behind me for there own profit."

"I'm sure it was one hell of a speech that made everyone feel like it was so damn important. But how often did you get people to do things not because they had to, but because it was just a fun time?"

"You don't understand that there is no "Fun times" in the Negaverse…you either win or you die."

"Man really does sound like a dump, and sounds like you really have no chill. But if everything has to be life or death, everything or nothing then you really do suck at holding on to anything if you have to go to such damn lengths."

"Says the man who has nothing?"

"You just don't get it…I just want real moments, not artificial ones. You and Ben alike might try and force things forever but I' rather take one good afternoon over years of fake ass moments. I still say everyone would be better off keeping it real and that all of this is because people just would not let there damn pipe dreams die and refuse to face reality!"

"Then you should be happy…Auro and his entire family did have to face reality, when I killed them. Your actions lead to this…the ultimate destruction of your rivals."

"Damn it…that's not what I wanted! Maybe some of my crew got the wrong idea but I was not trying to kill Ben, Lacus, or any of them. I just wanted to hardcore troll them and the entire universe till they gave up and admitted I was right! Then…we could all at last move on."

"You really think after everything you did they would ever forgive you?"

"Yah when they saw I'm right they would man up and we would all move on together!"

"Then you're an even bigger idiot then I thought."

"Nah…I'm just willing to put through lifetimes of crap just to finally really change things. Compared to you who won't move on from your stupid having your way crap!"

"ENOUGH!"

He shot Doug through his heart before hissing out," A pathetic fool may not be able to even grasp how to have total victory but that just proves how far apart we are." Despite his injury, Doug just smirked." Wow you really are one buying your own hype eh "V-Day?"

Just as Sieg realized how indifferent Doug was to his injuries, an explosion roared out in the distance. Sieg saw that the Intoner Tower in the distance was collapsing before Mary widened her eyes." Sieg…that's just a clone!"

Sieg's eyes widened in annoyance before he grit is teeth." I see…you're not like one of Auro's shadow clones, but a true temporal duplicate or time remnant. So you do realize your inferior to me and ran to the Multiversal Rebel Alliance?"

"Heh…hell no." Doug, or his clone replied." I just thought it was worth going the extra mile just to see the look on your face and I won the bet with Dark Schneider so he did me a solid. Looks like for how "hardcore" you keep saying you are I trolled your fancy ass just like I trolled Ben!

You both keep wanting to settle things with one dramatic final boss fight like life is just one video game you can program, but that's never how I roll! In some ways you're more honest about what you want than Ben, but you're also more blind than he was. Don't matter how many dimensions you have, you're never going to be too big to fail!"

"Someone who has not held on to anything is not really in the position to evaluate their superior. You have been the devil for centuries now and what do you even have? No family, no real friends, nothing but your miserable excuse for a life. You left your child to die you know…I killed her when I killed Auro's son and the rest in the Time Nest."

"And who said she's dead? You? Guess I have more faith in her not getting killed by a cocky asshole like you!"

"Even in the Negaverse…showing faith in your spawn by sending them to their doom is as dysfunctional as it gets."

"And what makes you think you're in a position to judge me? Maybe I'm not someone who needs to control every damn thing to have faith eh? Relationships change, buildings, monuments and anything else you can make fall, but principles last as long as a man wants them to last. You own all these universe's but what does that prove other then you're an asshole with major hording issues? That you got lucky?"

"It means whatever I decide it means for everyone." Sieg utters flatly." The one with the power makes the rules after all. You dove into absolute nihilism because you could not handle the pressure. But while I share your nihilism for anything other than power meaning anything, I enjoy the rush of control, of ultimate control. That's why I grasp a power you can never even grasp."

"And who say's I can't!?"

"Because then you would not be resorting to such pitiful tricks."

"And who said I just wanted to own you right when you thought you won it all?"

Sieg eyed Doug carefully before he snickered." Because it's impossible for someone like you to reach what I have become."

"So you were not born like this eh? That's all I needed to hear."

Sieg saw Doug's grin before the head of the Equalizer just laughed loudly." I don't know how you did all the winning you said you did when you could not see through a plain ass fake out! If someone like you two tools got this kind of power then it's not destiny, just dumb ass luck!"

Mary's eyes glowed red as she grasped her hand tightly." It's far too late for someone like you to ever ascend to such heights. After all…the end of this whole stage God has produce will soon collapse."

"Keep telling yourself that but chaos is when things no one expects to happen happened. My whole life's been about upending what was expected of me and I'm not stopping to morons like you! Next time we meet…I'm kicking your,"

In an instant Sieg fired a bullet that not only vaporized Doug's clone, but the entire planet. Mary saw the star below Westeros also get shattered by the projectile before she flicked her hair back." Such a child to think we would get unrattled by pathetic taunts. He thinks just because he stole from the Beyonder and Zannacross that he can take from us? He still does not grasp…that we are on the verge of controlling everything."

Sieg wiped some cosmic dust off his tuxedo before he nodded." He thinks he can laugh off defying fate only to realize that soon there will be no were in the Multiverse, nowhere in all of existence that I won't control. And since I will control everything, no one will ever take what I deserve. Well, there's no point wondering if he was with the Alliance, when there are no rebels left to make an alliance with."

Mary paused before she saw an incoming transmission from the Totality and cleared her throat." Don't be hasty about that Sieg…it seems that hunch was correct and the Multiversal Rebel Alliance did not all die in the Palace of Power…because some just were seen in the Prime Universe…helping Michale Auro, Astra Fitter, and the last of the Enji knights and others who resist us escape."

Sieg's eyes widened before he instantly waved his hand to have a screen appear in front of him before he cleared his throat." They went all this way to rescue those I already killed? They…they were nothing."

"To us yes." Mary answered coolly." But it seems somehow Auro's spawn amassed a way to have his power surpass his father. Based on the reports so far… it seems that what forces of heaven and hell alike combined their resources to make Michael into a being beyond his limits in hopes that it will be enough to stop us."

Sieg paused before he narrowed his eyes." Gingrich and Carmen were supposed to be there, yes? He was able to defeat them?"

Mary sighed before retorting with," No…it seems though that they tricked the two into hitting each other…and a few of them gave away their lives so they could escape. They used some method to travel across the Multiverse without us being able to track them."

Sieg saw the replay of the other Six-Dimensional beings hitting each other before his aura started to cause the entire universe around him to crack." Even after giving them one of the rarest privileges in the Multiverse I still can't rely on anyone but myself.

I'll no longer rely on anyone's reports but my own to be certain that someone is dead. So now "brother"…are you trying to reunite with your son because you think together you can stop me? Or did you truly die and is he trying to avenge you?

Either way…I'll show you how futile investing in the rebellion of inferiors really is. It really does not matter where you ran off to, soon there will be no where I don't control. Enough games Mary, it's time to make it clear who has everything and who has nothing."

Mary saw Sieg was no longer amused before she nodded." No arguments here…the song has been delayed long enough…and soon everyone will get what they truly deserve, at last."

The two who have caused mass despair across the Multiverse moved to correct the errors their employees made, little did they realize that those that escaped them were still mostly in shock to feel anything.

We return to where we last left Mike's group, with the fugitives from the Prime Universe still realizing just what happened. Mike saw the various ships from across the Multiverse gather around the House of Hero's before he raised an eyebrow." So…this is the Multiverse Rebel Alliance? I admit…I'm still getting use to the whole Multiverse thing but just…not sure what counts as big for a Multiverse army really."

Xeno Gogeta defused back into Xeno Goku and Vegeta, before Xeno Vegeta grit his teeth and snapped out," Its quality, not quantity fool! In those ships are some of the most powerful fighters in the Multiverse, ones who all had to become survivors."

Calvin nodded as he looked around." This war is pushing us to the limit Mike, we lost so many universe's, so many comrades. We only were able to pull off your evacuation because are ally Kevin Keene distracted Sieg and sacrificed his entire universe. While his attempt to stop Sieg did not work, it bought us the time we needed."

Mike winced before he rubbed the back of his head." Sorry man don't mean to be ungrateful. I seriously just am trying to grasp things on a beyond universe scale but…I figured based on what Masaki and Ezan have said…looks like the clock's running out and are team's odds are so bad few would bet they can pull it off. But…you really think we can make a difference? I become the most powerful being in the universe but sounds like even gods are just chumps in the face of these Six-Dimensional beings."

"Don't sell yourself short Mike…you proved that power is not everything. After all…your sister in law's power did not change thing, but her words and resolve. And at the very least, she seems happy with the result."

Mike widened his eyes before he heard a on edge voice shout out," MIKE!"

Before he turned around and saw Bria, Die-Hardman, and everyone that left with Masaki run up on a platform. Bria and her sons looked overwhelmed as Bria ran up and looked at Mike carefully." Mike…you…your alive? Are…are you alive? You…look different than before."

Mike looked at his Bancho Nephilim state and gave a thumbs up." Bria…I'm so glad you made it…that all of you did. Don't worry, I am still alive. Even brought a few others along with me."

Shionne hugged Alphen before she cried out," Alphen…your alive! It…it's a miracle."

The two kissed before Alphen uttered," Shionne…at last I can deliver all my promises to you and its all thanks to Lord Auro hear."

As they hugged the rest of there friends as Raymond sighed at the couples reunion Vincent and Red XIII also walked up before the red talking dog uttered," Aries…you and James are alive again?"

"Hell yah." The flower girl happily replied." When Mike's crew came back in the super life beam me and James seemed effected to! After how horrible things have been…its been good to have some blessing, however small."

As the former members of AVALANCHE embraced at there reunion, Bria looked around before she looked at Mike with relief." You…you really pulled a miracle Mike. Did…did you become a god?"

"Don't worry…this is just me…super charged from before."

"So…your even more powerful? They…had faith generators in the afterlife?"

Mike winced before he looked at the Bancho Adolla Fangs again and grasped them tightly." Not quite Bria. Its…a long story but the short version is that, they had me fight in those Reaper Games we heard the Vought clan set up to make their version of the After Life a freaking reality show. I hustled everyone I could to break their script. Things were going smooth enough, till they had a "Ace in the hole." Bria…it was Max. Sieg…killed him and forced him to be a "guard dog" for the Reaper Games."

This caused a wave of horror to spread across the group as Ezan looked at the tonfa's in Max's hand and widened his eyes." Wait…those weapons do have traces of Max's soul in them! What…what happened!? You saw the footage, we thought Sieg killed him and Richard."

"Its…not that simple. The truth is…Richard followed Max in because he thought I was there. But the truth is…Max had talked with Doug about trying to run away and start a new life. He…he did not want to betray us but he did want to leave us to form a new life. Max and Richard were arguing, and then Sieg found them. He blamed them for something Doug did…and killed them just for being related to Dad.

Max…has been forced to erase anyone the IV&C told him to. He…he almost had to kill me but…Xehamaru of all people interfered. Did not realize the two were teammates and, Xehamaru hated the IV&C enough to work with Kira to do a ritual to merge all of the wild souls of hell with me, and do a ritual to turn Max's soul into these Tonfa's so that I could sustain my current power. Max…was so regretful over what happened that he gave up his very identity to atone for his mistake. "

James looked at the symbol on Mike's hand before he widened his eyes." That…is the seal of Necrochalcos!? Xehamaru really did help you?"

Ezan paused before he sighed." So this is what Kira meant. Well…as much as Xehamaru hated the Enji, he hated the likes of Weil Zabi even more so, I suppose it adds up. Still…to think this was how that loose end was resolved. Max…I knew you were getting jaded with how futile things were getting but to think you would have thrown away your pride so utterly."

Bria had tears in her eyes as she fell to her knees." So, Richard died because Max…turned his back on us? No…even he gave up on us?"

Astra saw the dismay in the other blond woman's face before she grasped her fist tightly." Nothing hurts more than family screwing you over…that's something anyone can understand."

Shinryudramon turned back to Daigo before he grit his teeth." Boss…if he knew all this happened because Max was trying to run away well…he would be even more messed up then he, he could be already."

Mike took a deep breath before he nodded." What Max did hurt me more than anyone, but we don't have time for regrets. All we have time for now, is to find a way to make a future with less regrets. Max…gave everything to try and make things right.

Even if it was because of a stroke of luck, by meeting him there I gained the power to make a difference, and bring back so many that died. Even…even if it was not everyone."

He winced as he saw how broken Sonic looked. The hero of Mobius had just lost his " Ultra form" and was staggering from the loss of power before he felt something, and realized he had a gold bracelet on his right arm.

He realized Amy put it on him before she sacrificed herself to stall Gingrich before it set in what happened and his eye twitched." No…Amy…you…you can't be gone. I…I was supposed to be fast enough to…save everyone. I…I have to go back! I'm fast enough…to save her!"

Robotnik winced before he shouted out," Put yourself together Sonic! You can't turn back time."

"Oh yah!? I did before, and if I could do it back on Little Planet I can when it counts!"

Calvin sighed before he put his hand on Sonic." Trust me…I been there Sonic. But you can't. Even if you did travel in time before, if you're not aware…your universe is bound to the" Hypertime" of the IV&C. That means that, your universe no longer controls its own history, its time is now governed by the IV&C's "network"."

Sonic looked shocked as he saw how solemn the agents of the IV&C looked before he grit his teeth." No…I just have to move even faster! But…there's no room…I need enough room to run damn it!"

"Please Sonic…it won't work. If you don't trust me, trust someone that saw what you did. You better talk to him Sally."

As Sonic was about to yell out more a female voice uttered," No…it really is you , Sonic!?"

Sonic almost thought he saw Amy, but turned around to see instead that the voice came from a brown-furred mobian chipmunk with auburn hair that connects to the stripe going down her back and ending on her short tail.

She had small, triangular ears with light brown canals on top of her head, and her face has a lighter brown patch in which her large blue eyes with auburn eyelids and medium-length eyelashes and muzzle with a small black nose were settled.

Her clothing consists of black, skintight shorts with white rimming, azure knee-high boots with white cuffs, soles, and outlines on the buckles with dark blue details inside, and white gloves with her Ring-Blades. She wore a closed azure vest which exposed her midriff, and a tight, black, sleeveless crop-top with white trim underneath. Her tan-colored belly could be seen on her midriff.

Sonic saw the woman's shock before he raised an eyebrow." Huh? Sorry, but I don't know you."

"But I know you Sonic! I'm…Princess Sally Acorn and the daughter of King Nigel Acorn, and leader of the Freedom Fighters. I, spent most of my life fighting against the Eggman Empire…with you! Or at least…the Sonic the Hedgehog from my own universe! Me, Bunnie D'Coolette… Antoine D'Coolette…Rotor the Walrus…we spent years trying to get back Mobotropolis from Robotnik and Dr. Julian Snively, only for the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation to invade are universe. Sonic…my Sonic gave up everything so we could escape."

Sonic saw Sally looked on the verge of tears herself, and saw a humanoid bunny with a robotic arm, a humanoid walrus, a fearful humanoid coyote and a few others behind Sally before he blinked in shock." So…you're all this…other Sonic's friends? I'm sorry that happened but I still don't know you."

Rotor cleared his throat before muttering," Do you still like chilly dogs to?"

Sonic blinked before he chuckled bitterly." Depends on the sauce."

"Then that's something!"

The woman named Bunnie looked at Tails coming up before she winced." No no…Nine's with them!"

Tails looked shocked before Knuckles got in front of Tails." Hey hold on, you're talking about that other crazy Tails? He tried to do…things so messed up that I don't understand but this guy's are Tails."

Sonic saw that the freedom fighters looked uneasy before he grit his teeth." So…Nine was from your universe?"

Sally saw the bitterness in Sonic's eyes before she nodded." He did not join us right away. My Sonic found him in the city Robotnik controlled, New Yoke City. Nine was bullied, and endured beatings for years. One day, however, tired of being picked on, Nine decided to use his intelligence to create seven robotic tails to defend himself against his enemies.

Sonic saved Nine from being hit by a train in the Scareport, leading Nine to change his opinions on the hedgehog, deeming him a trustworthy person who meant him no harm. He was soon fascinated by the energy coming off Sonic and his shoes, and helped him regulate it, becoming allies.

But Nine was more damaged then we expected…and his experiment unleashed an explosion that we thought killed him. It was not long after that the IV&C invaded are universe.

Only later…after are universe was already taken over did we realize Nine joined the IV&C. My Sonic, the Robotnik we knew that joined the" Chaos Council" he betrayed everyone for his own research."

"And if he did not get in our way…maybe Amy would still be alive." Sonic uttered bitterly." This Sieg…he really recruits the worst of the worst from the whole Multiverse eh?"

Zero winced as he thought about his last fight." For Iris to be alive…only to be a version that's crazier then Vile and being Sieg's lab dog…damn it all."

Calvin sighed as he looked around. "That's his MO all right, he enjoys nothing more than making his enemies fight those who are dear to them, the more bitter, the better. For too long he thinks he is the center of the Multiverse, and we have risked everything to prove him wrong. I know all of you have lost much and might have to lost more, but I promise you, that cost is still not as high as the cost of letting Sieg have his way."

Tyson nodded as he looked at the mark of the Tri-Force on his fist." I hear yah. My brother thought throwing out his pride would save him and Wakanda, but it was clear Ganondorf and the rest of those pricks just enjoyed seeing how low everyone bows before kicking them off the cliff with the rest. Even if it came too late, N'Jadaka asked me to look after Wakanda and that's a promise I'm going to keep. Even if Wakanda is occupied now, we won't be slaves forever damn it."

Mark nodded as he looked at the Viltrumite 's that escaped with him." Dad's last wish was for me to lead are people to a better future. I, want to honor him but are planet is gone, and there are so few of us left."

As Eve grasped Mark's hand fondly Xeno Goku nodded." We all had to leave something behind. But now…we have to see what will be left before we can start to move forward. You guys better get some rest like Calvin said…it's going to be such a wild ride even I'll have to keep focused."

Mike wiped some sweat off his brow before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Well, I guess I could use something to eat after all this."

Astra saw Mike was still transformed before she shrugged." How long can you keep your new hyper god form anyway?"

Mike looked at his hands before he shrugged." I mean this is the first time I transformed so I." He moved a step forward before his eye twitched and he fell over. As his transformation become undone Mike let out a groan." I…think that's the answer. Now that the tension is gone its…all coming back to me."

Astra rolled her eyes before facepalming." We better get some training to build your endurance but, just rest for now dude. You did earn it."

Ezan nodded before he looked around." You pulled off one of the most impossible missions every preformed Mike, you did well."

"Thanks Ezan." Mike answered weakly as he struggled to get back up." I just…wish I could have pulled it off sooner…maybe I could have saved more."

James patted Mike on the back with his physical arm for the first time before he smirked somberly." I been wondering if I could have saved more with a better plan for centuries now Mike, trust me when I say overthinking things at times does more harm than good.

Max may not have been saved, and we may not have saved everyone but you did save many from a damned fate, and somehow even gave me a second chance. You did well Mike, don't regret that."

"James…Ezan…thanks guys."

Bria winced before she looked down." I am glad you're alive Mike. But, I just, have to know. What was the state of Corneria as you left? I, just want to know, how we left it."

Mike let out an uneasy chuckle as he looked down." I got to be honest Bria…I was in hell most of the time so I don't really know how things were."

Astra winced before she looked down." I think some of those satellites were destroyed in the fighting…but now no one is left to stop them from putting more up."

Xeno Vegeta looked around before he cleared his throat." Trust me…its best if you focus on the fight ahead over what has been left behind. Thinking about what you left behind, won't do any good now."

Daigo took a deep breath before he nodded." Boss…wherever you are, I hope you can forgive us. Whatever we do now, has to be worth it."

Mike saw all the ships starting to dock near the House of Hero's before he shrugged." Alright, let's see how it looks guys."

As the de facto leaders of the Bethal Kingdom prepared to see just what their new allies had to offer, those who left behind were facing much bleaker turns of events.

As we return to those who saw Mike's group escaped, Carmen had just recovered from being hit by Gingrich and returned just to see the Upside-Down Man recover from those who sacrificed themselves so there comrades could escape.

The" Head Influencer" of the IV&C saw her peer snarl before her eye twitched." What the hell happened you fatass?"

"THOSE DAMN COCK SUCKERS THINK THEY ARE CLEVER!? STOP MESSING AROUND CARMEN WE GOT TO RIP THE VERY MULTIVERSE OPEN BEFORE."

"BEFORE I RETURN? OH...ITS FAR TO LATE FOR THAT GINGRICH! "

The two Sixth Dimensional beings froze, before the very Prime universe split open, and Sieg descended from the hole, with Mary and the Totality behind him.

Everyone froze as the owner of the Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation slowly descended to see all the broken ships and mecha around Mekacity. He slowly looked around the Lylat system before he eyed the upside-down man with a glare." I have been informed that there has been a rebellion of sorts that even you two could not effectively shutdown? And I also been told that members of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance were right here…and fled right in front of you? And you're not following them…why?"

Carmen winced before she looked down." They…they had a bunch of people that could warp, warp at the same time to scramble there trail."

Mary sighed before she cracked her neck." So, in other words your incompetence botched your task. How did such inferior scum have the time to pull it off unless they really have found a way to match are power?"

Gingrich winced as he gulped." THEY…THEY TRICKED US INTO HITTING EACH OTHER…AND…GUH!"

Both he and Carmen were silenced as Sieg instantly raised his hand, and had two golden beams come out of his fingers to impale his own board members.

Sieg's eyes glowed with golden energy before he lifted them upward and grit his teeth." There is no and. A grown man made a wager. He lost. He made another one – he lost again. You bottomed out. End of story.

But in the end I take responsibility. I in fact allowed myself to think you two had done well enough to deserve some trust but I'm never making that mistake again. So…I'll be taking that free will I thought you earned back now…after all you two clearly forgotten what matters most now."

As the Mukagen Nega Void formed in his hand Carmen winced." Wait…no need to trend reboot here! We…we screwed up but we want to make them pay! We want to make them suffer…more than anything. I remember boss man! You…you matter more than anything! After all I…AHH!"

Mary saw the two below her twitch before she sighed." I know you want to send a message Sieg but try not to cram too many memories into their past eh? It led to…messy outcomes in the past and this is a rather important place eh?"

Sieg saw his two most high ranked employees look terrified before he saw those below him looked even more consumed with terror, and cracked his neck." We are at the state were hiring your replacements would waste more time. But any more failures will mean I'll just do it all myself instead of trusting you…do we understand each other?"

The two did not even speak, and after they nodded Sieg let off the grip on them before he looked down. He noticed all the broken Shadow Cloaks over Corneria before he snickered." So you decided to block out the planet's sunlight, and they fought to free their world before it froze eh? This was your idea?"

Both of them looked below, and Sieg saw they were focused on Homelander. In a instant Sieg appeared right in front of the official head of the Seven before he saw Homelander wince, and smirked coldly." John…I'm getting the impression that you were the one who set up those satellites?"

Homelander winced before he got on his knees." I…I did not mean to do anything you did not approve of Sieg! I, just thought causing the Bethal Kingdom's capital planet to suffer would put them in their place you know? I, I did not know those other guys would show up but if I did then I would have done it much more differently I swear!"

Sieg saw Homelander looked like he was about to have a panic attack before he snickered." You were not asked to fight the Multiversal Rebell Alliance so I won't hold that against you. But…I want you to watch carefully, all of you. Your thought was in the right place, but this is how you show the masses what the wrath of god truly is."

Sieg then appeared above Corneria with a look of pure contempt as he looked right at Solar. With a wave of his hand, every planet in the universe saw an image of him." So…you pitiful slaves got outraged at being denied your light and started to rebel eh? I can see you look at your sun with hope, as if you could ever put things back to where they "Use to be".

In the past even the biblical terrors that Zannacross and the Beyonder unleashed were repelled by your hero's…but my brand is not so easily derailed. You will all learn…once and for all that fantasy of yours…will forever be just a dream!"

In an instant he shot a bullet from his gun. For a moment it looked like it was going to hit Corneria, but at the last second it swerved, and went right for Solar. After a few moments, the star glowed golden, before it shrunk.

In mere moments, it appeared in Sieg's hand, before he crushed it. As the energy went into him. He could hear screams of terror before he widened his eyes." This entire universe and everything in it is my property.

And that's why…light is a privilege that only those who are worth an investment will be allowed to deserve. Most may not be able to control such things but I…I am not most."

He grasped his fist, before the entire universe started to shake. Throughout the universe, holes in space and time appeared over every star in the universe, before tentacles came out and went into every star like a straw.

Sieg looked more psychotic as he uttered," I offered you my hand and you dared to swat it…so now you will get a grasped fist instead. And you will see…what my wrath truly is."

After that, he proceeded to absorb every star in the universe, leaving it in darkness other than the lights from the various machines.

The man who just wiped out every star in the universe just laughed at the terror he held." Now…now light is a privilege only those who are subscribed to the IV&C will be allowed to have. Heh…except for one.

You of Corneria thought you were a special planet? Now…you will be special, as the last sun in the universe. As of now, anyone who was not wise enough to submit to me has sealed their fate."

He snapped his finger, before the entire capital planet of the Lylat system became set ablaze. As it was forcefully morphed into a sun in the span of seconds, Sieg saw Neo Arcadia, the remains of Hollowed Bastion, Ben's old home in Transform Town, The Outer Heaven Castle, the Senate building, the remains of the Raystar Manor, the Vally Of the End, Mount Endon, and every last place that Ben, Lacus, Ezan, James, Kira, and the rest of the Enji had been to and fought for be set ablaze, aside from the IV&C property.

Sieg saw everything but his followers and those inside his property burn before he made a beckoning gesture to those watching across the Prime Universe." Across the Multiverse…the oldest story there is, is about how God creates everything. And I'll prove my power, by proving I am going to remake everything in my image.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

I…will do the opposite. Today, I said there will be darkness. I could do the full spiel but well, I image a lot of you are still adjusting to so much things. So let me cut to the point. I will remake all of existence at the end of the work week.

Each day, I will remove another "Block" of the universe, and those who have not submitted will suffer more and more till you beg for your true god's mercy. In the end, this is just the reality of the master and the servant taking their most pure form.

From the days of medieval lord, peasants were at the mercy of their lords. Sure, they could see some things as "an act of god" but it was the king's will on who had the right to farm, who had the right to hunt, and who had the right to shelter. The only thing that changed, is the level of control those lords had.

As society evolved, people misunderstood things, they thought they had "rights". But it was all an illusion. The electricity they needed came from the master and they fooled themselves to think it was any different. I'm ending that confusion across the entire Multiverse, so that things can at last evolve into their most effective, productive state.

I am the final evolution, the ultimate winner and this is my reward, absolute control! I am about to end the universe as we know it, the nature of existence will change. Like always…those that can't adapt to that change will be discarded with the rest of the absolute trash.

But those that can adapt…will be rewarded by being able to enjoy the purest form of existence. Loath me all you want, but know your anger, your despair, and all your emotions mean nothing.

If insults determined our actions we'd be tossing books and apps at the lions like Emperors. But in the end…ultimately, progress and innovation win. So, watch closely everyone, watch what it means to win everything. Its time Mary…being the Oblivion Machine, let the Song of Nephilim be song across the Multiverse."

The Totality unleashed a shock-wave that shattered Corneria's moon, before holes in reality opened up around it. Cables from all of the universe's that the IV&C had taken over or reformatted came out before the golden castle had all the wires linked with it almost like it was a heart. Mary then landed on top of the castle before she licked her lips.

"Come sisters…let us at last fully sing the song that will be God's requiem. There is more ugliness than beauty in this existence. To live is to suffer. To drink of calamity and drown in anguish. To toil and be tested, always and ever.

So, lets shepherd all the poor souls to where beginnings end and ends begin, to the Minstrel's Ballad…the Endsinger's Aria!"

An ominous gong like sound mixed with screaming that was like nails on a chalk board. The beat lowered in volume, before a pulse like a heart could be heard. A shock-wave went out that seemed to go into the very Multiverse, and got stronger each second, like it was a beating heart.

Mary saw a vortex of power form around the Totality before she looked manic." At last…at last after all this time…my dreams will soon be reality! God…you will at last get what you deserve!"

Stormfront looked around before she let out an uneasy giggle." So…that's it? We won?"

"The song has started but we only truly won when its finished child." Mary uttered coldly as she floated down back to the wreckage of Arasaka Tower before she pointed at the Totality, which was still beating like a heart and unleashing an unhinged choir like sound with longing." Even with all are power…dominating the Multiverse is not something that one does in an instant. Did you ever study the theory about the " Big Crunch?"

As the surviving members of the Seven looked at each other tensely Mary sighed." The Big Crunch is a hypothetical scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the expansion of the universe eventually reverses and the universe collapses, ultimately causing the cosmic scale factor to reach zero, an event potentially followed by a reformation of the universe starting with another Big Bang.

The Big Crunch scenario hypothesized that the density of matter throughout the universe is sufficiently high that gravitational attraction will overcome the expansion which began with the Big Bang.

But we have made sure it's not just a theory.

We have made universe's collapse in such a manner…and now with this…we will cause a chain reaction that will cause the Big Crunch to spread across the entire Multiverse, before the web collapses in on itself.

The process is not instant, but it is starting.

And when it finishes…it will all start anew, with us controlling everything to be how we see fit."

The surviving board members of the Vought clan and others like Arasaka had all come out of their shelter to watch behind Homelander, and the younger member, Joseph Evans founder and CEO of the tech company AUZA laughed madly. The young blond man had his eye twitch before he yelled loudly." It worked…we did it! WE are the winners baby!"

Mary narrowed her eyes before hissing out," We? You did nothing but hide like the cockroach you are. You were just too unimportant to be noticed by those who did everything…till now."

Joesph was about to say something till another man quickly pushed him down. The older man tugged his collar before he bowed." Of course my lady, we are just actors in your stage. I'm Edward Diego an executive of TriOptimum Corporation.

What my eager fellow board member means to say as his excitement confuses him is that we are all eager to do our part to see this grand plan realized. All I ask in return for this expression of my love is a measure of protection and an opportunity to spread the message of your holiness."

"And you think your worthy of any gesture when you all could not even see the extermination of the last vermin in this universe even with overwhelming odds."

Victoria Neuman walked up as the other surviving board members like Squillia and Bajillia Naire, Valkog Drazer, Niander Wallace, Kawahara, and a few others all looked at each other anxiously before Neuman cleared her throat." We are sorry that things did not meet expectations. But the intervention from those Rebels from the Multiverse interfered with the plan."

Mary saw Neuman looked serious before she sighed." Carmen and Gingrich made there own mistakes, but there intervention would not have been needed if you all ran things effectively."

Bajillia wiped sweat from her brow before the squid woman uttered," We...just wanted to present a show that someone of you and Homelander would,"

"ENOUGH!" Mary suddenly hissed out with enough force to shatter the windows in the chamber. She raised her hand before uttering," I already got the report from Black Noir and the others. If was your job to manage things and you failed. The show only has its worth when its for the desired results...that's all that matters to us.

You were left in your positions under the promise you could manage things effectively in are absence. But you let yourself get lax after only a short while. The Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation might be all about victory, but only real victory. Those who settle for false victories, who don't have the resolve to see things through, are an infection."

"Wait…we just did not understand your vision properly! If…AHH!"

Mary had web like chains lash out of her wrist to grasp Neuman by the chest, and also grasp Bajillia, Edward, Joseph, Valkog, Kawahara, Niander, and the rest before she lifted them all up and licked her lips." You want to understand my vision? Then watch closely."

Between her fingers was a mass like a churning black hole that resembled a bagel. The red haired woman just looked admused at everyone's confusion." A bagel. I got fed up one day. So I put EVERYTHING on a bagel. All of my hopes and dreams. My old report cards. Every breed of dog. Every last personal ad on craigslist. Sesame. Poppy seed. Salt. And it collapsed in on itself. When you really put everything on a bagel, it becomes this. The truth."

Neuman looked at her daughter before she winced." What...what is the truth? I, AH!"

The board members all were sucked into the " bagel" in Mary's hand and screamed as they were getting crushed before the counterpart of Lacus from the Negaverse had a manic look in her eyes." That nothing in this Multiverse matters.

If nothing matters, then all of the pain and guilt that you have for making nothing of your life, it goes away too. Sucked into a bagel. And nothing that is tied to the order of this or any old universe mattters. That's why...there will be no more deals with inferiors. We are in the process of erasing all that are redundant in all existence, and that's where you all fall under. Rejoice, at least you won't suffer in hell, for that to is now a redundancy to us."

She licked the bagel before eating the" toppings" on it.

Sieg saw the deaths and gave a nod of approval." Correct Mary. This chaos brought by the "undead revolts" are at an end."

Sieg grasped his hand, before he unleashed a shock-wave. As the shock-wave spread, it erased the lingering BT's and caused there remains to be sucked into the Totality before he made another dramatic gesture." Doug Fitter broke the universe, and I am fixing it. There is no after life anymore, you either exist in my order or you're erased. All souls…will be managed by the IV&C server. Like I said…every aspect of life, death, and beyond is now commanded by how I see fit."

Homelander let out an uneasy chuckle as he winced." But…I'm still useful right?"

Sieg saw the terror in his eyes before he snickered." But of course, John…there's one last task for you all to do before you get what you deserve. But excuses will no longer be tolerated."

"Sure man you're the boss! But…what's left then?"

The segments of the Oblivion Machine will be condensing the Multiverse, and there's still a possibility for the process to be interrupted. We are to make sure that no one in the entire Multiverse stops this. "

"So, kill whoever is in the way? Yah we can do that…just tell us who to kill boss man!"

Sieg saw the Batman Who Laughs being recovered by Xehanort and Ganondorf after Xeno Goku punched him out of the planet before he shrugged." We will be doing a final evaluation soon so just be prepared to do whatever I instruct you to do.

This happened because those fools thought they were part of the process and rewarded themselves prematurely. But I want to make it clear that this is my company, and that my employees only celebrate when I say the job is done."

"Yes sir."

Sieg left the Seven to clean up the mess before he and Mary floated back to the Totality and he smirked at Homelander's despair." No need to throw away the clowns when watching them squirm provides some amusement. After all…it will be enjoyable to see just how few realize they are worthy but well…that's part of the fun. But…enough fun, back to business.

The two landed on the throne of the Totality before Sieg narrowed his eyes." Before anything else, I want to know just what happened with Auro's son."

Mary nodded before she waved her hand." From the reports…it seems that first the boy stole the power Brandon Sampson used to make himself a god, then died. But in the after life he made a deal with defiant devils who opposed us, and merged with all the souls in hell to ascend even higher.

Also…it seems Max nearly killed him but…Max's former teammate Kira helped him resist long enough to morph his soul into a weapon Mike could wield to handle his new power. It seems he was willing to do any last act to defy you."

Sieg then saw the recorded footage of Mike transforming to defeat Brandon, then ascending to the Bancho Nephilim state and easily overpowering Sukuna, along with handling all of the villains around Corpo Plaza. He saw Mike's eyes before he chuckled." Not bad…he went from zero to infinity in such a short time and almost attempted to replicate what I did.

But merging with all the souls of the dead is still not the same with merging with an entire universe. Alas like all imitators, it's too late trying to mimic the winning formula when the resources are no longer at hand. Yes…him…Fitter…its to late for anyone to catch up to me…I'll make sure of it. Soon, there will be nowhere to hide."

Mary nodded before she closed her eyes." But we can't leave anything to chance. We should flush them out as soon as possible."

"But of course." Sieg uttered smugly." But at least time is on our side. These rebels have to do something, or they lose. So now the final bet of this multiverse, is where the rats will pop up, and where to smash them once and for all."

Sieg waved his hand before he saw the current map of the Multiverse. He saw the map of where the towers spreading the Song of Nephilim were listed before he closed his eyes." Tell all are forces that its time to prepare the final phase. This will be the final moment of chaos, till all there is will be bound to my will. Doug really was a fool to think he would mock me.

He thinks "true bonds" have value? All those who hold contempt for me for not having bonds won't be able to cling on to their delusions. I won't allow anyone who does not value what I do to exist. There won't be anyone who values " Love" or " friends" over productivity, I won't allow anyone anywhere to have an environment where they can have anything other than what I want! Then…there will be no contradiction…everything will be mine and everything will be how it should be."

Mary nodded as she saw Gingrich and Carmen yell at the others to try and shrug off Sieg nearly killing them and still look in charge." Time for everyone to soon see their true worth, once and for all."

As they began to see through the final phase of their many phased plan.

As they did the lesser servants of the IV&C prepared to follow their orders without hesitation, Renslayer being one of them.

The fanatical employee of IV&C looked around at her coworkers before she narrowed her eyes." This is it people. Either you bring us glory or damnation, and if you disgrace us in front of Mr.V day then I'll make sure no matter what I make you suffer first! Do we understand!?"

Xehamaru had recovered from his clone's actions in hell just in time to resume his disguise as Paradox and met her with a bound Castile and Crowly before he gave a mock salute." Oh trust me I'm not missing the game when it's getting to the climax."

Hunter B-1 eyed Paradox keenly before she cleared her throat." Are you drunk man? You never drink and the bosses just showed what they think of hotshots who act like they got the job done."

Xehamaru paused before he snickered." True…but I suppose the excitement is getting to me. Everything…has come to this point…and now its all or nothing."

Renslayer nodded before she looked around." True enough. We proved ourselves but its for nothing unless we finish strong! That's why, we are overseeing any possible risk across the Multiverse. Agent Ouroboros…is agent Paradox's suggestion valid?"

A bumbling looking Asian man in an IV&C uniform nodded." The work orders really pile up if I take a break, so I just keep at it. Forever. No sleep. But…soon I'll be able to sleep at last. Anyway…I looked at the data and some of the universe's merging are causing ontological paradoxes.

The Lex Corp, Oscorp, Galactic Hydra Empire, Red Ribbon Army, and Shinra corp divisions are already having are most…experienced agents over looking the three most noteworthy paradoxes but…they seem to be the most unstable so, reinforcements do seem like a valid course of action as more Throughput Multiplier's on hand can stabilize possible ruptures."

Xehamaru nodded before he took the data." Well we don't want that to happen, so lets take a look eh?"

"Agreed Paradox. There's no margin for error here so make sure you did not forget anything."

Xehamaru looked out the window, and saw that Corneria was now the sole sun in the Prime Universe. He saw the universe's coming together before he glanced at the ship that would transport him across the Multiverse and licked his lips." Oh, don't want one thing to be out of place. Just got to make sure the data is in sinch with the network, and lets get this show on the road. Come on bait, we would not want any" Rebel scum" to miss the chance to rescue there comrades eh?"

Castile just gave a solemn nod before Xehamaru casually pressed his badge. He then looked around and for the first time looked at Sieg in the distance. Ben Auro's first major enemy saw the power coming from the man who killed the one who killed him and licked his lips." Well, one way or another, the true answer to life, is at the horizon. Just maybe, there is no purpose in life.

But if you linger a while longer in this universe, you might discover something of value in it. After all this time, this really is the power of god. Power is forged from the desire smoldering in the heart. It fans into a flame and begins to burn with intensity, so time to see how much my desire can burn one way or another."

Mobius chuckled before he gave a thumbs up." I like it. Slap it on a t-shirt. But first lets get that bonus man!"

With a snicker Xehamaru followed Mobius to prepare to travel the Multiverse. Even a man as cold blooded as the former dark lord of Sithantos could not help but feel a chill down a spine as he watched to see if his ruse had fallen, but to his relief no one held him up and it seemed that the plan was working.

While his other allies did not see him off, they did sense his energy move, all the way in the shadows. While Sieg had purged all the remains of hell in mere moments, he only purged what he was looking for, and the Schatten Bereich that Zannacross had forged remained, for the moment.

For the former devil of the Prime Universe, along with Kira, and those Kria had rescued without being noticed saw everything unfold. Even though most were horrified to be dragged into a realm of shadow, as they saw the stars of the universe be wiped out they were just glad to be alive and did as Kira told.

At the moment Kira walked up to Zannacross before he took a deep breath." I don't sense any movement. It could all be a ruse, but its reasonable to think he made it."

Zannacross nodded as he looked at the universe he fought so hard to control and grasped his fist tightly." This pocket dimension is placed in between the merging universe's, a shadow within a shadow. Thus…this place can ward off their detection, for a time. But, it won't be long till everything comes together and there will be no place to hide."

Kira glanced at the Totality before he shrugged." You're the only one who has attempted things on such scale. Are there ambitions on target?"

Zannacross looked at the data the Mobius chair was giving him before he grit his teeth." That castle of his is giving off the same kind of energy that the Eternal Kami Munesanzun Crystal I forged had when I attempted to have the universe become one with me.

As much as I loath the facts, the reality is the energy is even larger than my own effort. He's really not just merging one universe but countless universe's into one point, himself.

He's clearly had "practice." "

Kira chuckled bitterly as he looked at his sword." Your assumptions were proven wrong, we must steel ourselves to have faith that it's the same for him. We just have to make sure we make the right move.

At the very least the scale is so big even he can't oversee every part of it at once. If Xehamaru can keep his cover long enough to get his hands on the process, delaying or sabotaging this could be the key to everything."

"Especially if the energy…at least part of it can be transferred." Zannacross added as he closed his eyes." Even if there might be differences, I'm going to assume that while some devils or others who had my roles throughout the multiverse won't just sit back and let Sieg take from them.

There might be a way to form an alliance of desperation, if we can reach out in the right way. But everything depends on if I can influence things without Sieg and the other Six-Dimensional abominations being aware."

Kira looked around at the survivors before him before he looked up again." And you think you could get your…counterparts to aid you in time?"

Zannacross formed a grin as he slouched back on his throne." It's better than just residing myself to extinction. But I admit, it all depends on how much we can get away with. And that depends on if this "Rebel Alliance" has anything to it."

"As much as we loathed heroes for most of our careers, we who have had the least faith in the nature of man, now are forced to have faith that there are enough hero's that can overcome one who's ambition exceeds even are own."

Zannacross snickered before he looked down." Even if I had changed, I would not say Sieg has my ambition. However you may have detested my right to rule, I did care about ruling a people, however harsh my rule intended to be.

But these doppelgangers of Ben and Lacus from the Negaverse, don't intend to rule anyone. I see now what Xehamaru meant and what was implied. Those who serve him directly, are not servants, but "products". To be more precise, they are not even people, but programs or "Apps" that only exist for their function and nothing more. Its like how Sephiroth had others like Cloud Strife become corrupted into puppets of his will, only to an even more extreme extent."

Kira raised his eyebrow before he looked at the screen again." You mean Sephiroth and the rest are mere droids like Weil Zabi used? Or…copies as in the Chrono Phantasma that the Beyonder used?"

"Not quite either of those cases. They are living beings, but they are also puppets. They have no souls, they are just extensions of his will. Its…entirely likely that Sieg killed every last one of his subjects, absorbed them, and created copies of them.

It's almost like the data scraping mortals used to steal other's identity. Data scraping involves a technique where a computer program extracts data from human-readable output coming from another program. It seems that everyone up to those other two Six Dimensional beings are like this, and it shows Sieg and Mary want to make every universe, all of existence to be bound to there "Algorithm." "

Kira snickered before spitting out," Having total control is what defines God yes?"

"But a God that creates nothing is a hollow God…that's what my defeats forced me to accept. That total darkness that was the start of existence, only the most depraved seek to revert to that.

Even I…who sees that all life bears death from birth, also see now that an existence of only death…leads to nothing.

I don't have the answer, but maybe those who escaped the universe will be able to find one across the Multiverse.

One way or another…it's time to see once and for all…what the final answer is to the meaning of life."

With grim resolve the two former members of the Zannacross Empire who formerly sought the end of the universe prepared to do whatever they could to save it. But for now we leave them to go back to those who are seeing "other options" to save what's left of what they hold dear.

After trying to relax at least a little and talk with some of their new allies, Mike prepared to at last fully meet with the rebel High Command. Mike saw a round chamber approaching before he looked at Xeno Goku and Calvin and shrugged." Not to doubt the man who's made a living like this but like, you have been able to evade Sieg and the rest of the IV&C so far right?"

Calvin chuckled before he nodded." I understand your concern but while its taken very careful procedures, we stayed out of there grasp so far. The Bleed or " Super flow" is an inter-dimensional plane that forms the barriers between universes'. Thuse we have a advantage and can shuffle from between one universe and another. We are the only ones who entered the Bleed this way so, we have just enough time to plan this."

"Well, works for me, could be nice to know what's going on for once before running into, huh?"

He saw another platform come up, a alien like man in pale armor with shoulder pads and horns out of his head. Mike saw the tail the man had before he winced." Wait…you…you look like that legendary bad guy Frieza!"

He saw a man with purple raisin like skin and golden armor besides this man, and a man in armor with a green hood and cape before he felt a chill down his spine." Wait…and you guys are Thanos and Doctor Doom!"

Ezan saw behind them was a man in grey knight like armor before he tensed up to." And that looks like Garland…the archrival of Grand Master Myers!"

Astra cracked her neck before she shrugged." With luck screwing us over so much did not think we would get a break anyway!"

As the natives of the Prime Universe got ready to fight Doctor Doom just sighed." Richards assured me that the new arrivals were not total idiots and yet here we are."

Calvin and Xeno Goku quickly got between the two before Xeno Goku let out a anxious grin." Hey I know you guys are on edge but even I know this is not the time for a fight! These guys may have been bad guys in your universe but they are buds! That dude's not even Frieza…he's Frost!"

Mike winced as he looked at Frost and realized he did look different then Frieza. Some of the differences were that his torso and head are pale-blue in color. Frost also did not have the full lips and wrinkles, has rounder and smoother ears, and did not have concentric circles in the skin around his arms.

The curly haired man let out an uneasy chuckle and rubbed his head." My bad…still getting use to the whole Multiverse thing."

Frost just gave a polite nod in response." I understand young man, Frieza has a legacy across the entire Multiverse for evil, and I admit there's even been a counterpart with my name that's been known to be on the side of darkness. But I am one that values what this alliance stands for and will do everything to stop Sieg."

The one that looked like Thanos gave a nod." I am Thane... son of Thanos and I renounce what my father stands for."

Tyson looked around before he shrugged." So its like opposite of what we know of you guys from are universe? Like your Doctor Peace instead of Doom?"

Doom snickered before he flicked back his cape." Doctor Doom does not beg for your friendship…but sees the reality of this alliance. Latveria is for Doom to rule alone, and will do what he must to usurp pretenders to my throne. I was a God, but I found it... beneath me…and won't let others dirty my kingdom with there delusions. We are all here to see a common threat neutralized, nothing more, nothing less."

A new male voice then cut in with," Please trust us…despite what you think you know everyone hear may not be men of honor, but they have enough pride to fight with us."

Aries widened her eyes and saw the voice came from a roughly twenty-year-old man with a tall, broad, and muscular stature. He had lightly tan skin, blue eyes, medium-length slicked back black hair with bangs hanging on either side, and a small goatee. He wore the standard SOLDIER 1st Class uniform. She saw the large Buster Sword on his side before uttering," You…you were Zach's mentor right? Angeal?"

"Ah…so Zach's from your universe to. Yes…as you can see in my universe I lived. This Garland is not the one you might have known with contempt. But the one before you can be trusted to fight for the light, yes Themis?"

Behind Angeal came a man in pale blue armor with gold, yellow, and white details, a horned helmet, and a yellow cape. He had blue eyes and long, silver hair, and as he looked at the Enji James widened his eyes." Wait…that's the attire Grand Master Myers had! Is this…him from the past?"

The warrior of light gave a soft smile before replying with," That's not my name, but I share his passion for justice. I am a warrior of light, but Themis is my name. But I heard of your valor from Ezan, and feel Myers was as passionate about the light as myself. Garland…is not just like me but he can be counted on, right Jack?"

Garland then took off his helmet and pressed a button before his armor vanished, revealing he was a tall muscular man with light skin, with dirty blond hair kept in a short crop.

He had a prominent horizontal scar running over the bridge of his nose and short stubble around his mouth and on his chin.

His initial attire, consist of a dark-colored, asymmetric, button-up short-sleeved t-shirt, black pants, black lace-up boots, and black, worn, fingerless gloves with white wraps underneath them. As everyone got a look at the man beneath the armor he roared out," All I care about is seeing Chaos dead. I need to. It's not a hope or a dream. It's like a hunger. A thirst!"

As the senior Enji looked at Garland with indecision Calvin nodded." Just keep an open mind about how things can change from one universe over another. For example Jack Garland here is from a universe where he originated from the Lufenian realm of Paradise, a veteran agent of a group known as Strangers who were deployed to Cornelia in a cycle of continuing the Lufenians' hold on this world via the chaos. Given a Dark Crystal that removed his memories so he would not give into emotion and be consumed in chaos. I know in your universe the Lufenians were a noble race but in his universe its quite different.

Yes…there they were a race who went to war with the humans of Cornelia before disappearing.

They vanished into another dimension where they met a being known only as their "collaborator", who helped them create their ideal world. They discovered the world would one day be destroyed by the imbalance in light and darkness, and to create a perfectly balanced world, the Lufenians' collaborator gave them a dimensional crystal matrix with which they could reset the world and create time loops until perfect balance was achieved. The collaborator asked that all energy created from these time loops be transferred to it, which the Lufenians agreed to.

The Lufenians began the "Stranger" project, placing four crystals in the world to regulate the elements alongside recreations of locations other dimensions. They sent darkness into the world and designated heroes called Strangers to go and fight the darkness as the Warriors of Light, bringing equilibrium between the two forces to create the Lufenians' vision of paradise, and resetting the world if things ever went too far in favor of light or dark. They modified the elf Astos into a dark elf who would assist the Strangers while monitoring the balance of light and dark in the field.

As their experiments continued for countless cycles, the Lufenians started to realize that humans' uncontrolled emotions were the catalyst for the phenomenon they called "Chaos", and so decided to wipe humans out entirely.

The leader of the Strangers, Jack Garland before you, hatched a plan to usurp control of the time loops and darkness from the Lufenians. When several Lufenians went after Astos for siding with Garland, Astos turned them into bats. Jack stole the dimensional crystal matrix from them, taking control of the resets while ensuring the Lufenians could no longer influence the world."

Garland nodded before he grit his teeth bitterly." I fought bitterly to confront my former supervisor, a woman by Nil. I found out that her partner was this asshole Sieg. He killed my comrades Ash, Jed, Neon, and Sophia but they sacrificed themselves so I could avenge them! No matter what I will see him dead!"

Ezan saw Garland's anger before he looked at his own sword carefully." Those…were comrades of, my master in my universe to. Well…this is not how I imaged I would meet Master Myers's former rival. But…as long as this helps us and not hinders us then whatever it takes."

"Glad you understand Ezan." Calvin replied." To be blunt, morals are not the same across the Multiverse. One man's hero is another man's villains and we are no where close to being a place were we can afford to be picky.

We don't just give anyone a pass, but as long as we can trust that their ego's won't lead them to betraying us or compromising the rebellion, then that's good enough for now. After all, even if we might be enemies in the future, none of that will matter if Seig destroys us all now, eh Hearts?"

Another platform came up behind the "villains" and in the center was a tall, human-like humanoid man with red eyes, pointed ears and blonde hair which was slicked back.

His skin was mostly pale, with a few yellow marks on the upper sides of his face. He wore a long black coat over a brown and yellow belt, yellow belt sash and red pants, in addition to red gloves and an orange glass visor with white frames, a type of choker with gold foil, a type of armor that completely covered his arms from wrist to shoulders and soft, tight-fitting toe boots bent upwards. He also had an X-shaped scar across his chest.

The man named Hearts just gave a salute." Aye comrade. I have not always got along with "heroes" but I have my priorities. The one who calls himself "God" could destroy the universe with a single thought. I just wanted to liberate you all from this lack of freedom - but you all shone and surpassed your limitations. That's why I've come to appreciate mortals. Still…you have to be worthy of me seeing you as a fellow Core Area Warrior!"

Mike let out an uneasy chuckle before he shrugged." No offense but we are not going to do one of those things where I have to prove myself in a fight kind of thing eh?"

While Xeno Goku looked excited Calvin put up his hand." Frankly there's no time for that. Hearts…everyone, they were worth recruiting so please just sit down so we can begin the briefing. There's no time to delay when the IV&C's endgame can start at any moment."

A man next to Hearts, a younger man in gold armor with red hair pressed a button on his sphere before he nodded." Its ok Hearts…the Brother Eye is telling me the data on this man is what we need."

Hearts paused before he shrugged." Fine I'll take your word on it Luthor."

Calvin nodded before he motioned to everyone." All right please be seated and make sure to pay attention. The fate of the multiverse is on this plan."

Mike tried not to repress the chill on his spine as he took in the wide room. As he did he saw Captain Carrot return with a wave as members of the Rebel Alliance took there seats. He saw those that helped him before like OverX, Spider Gwen, Kimbery, Xeno Vegeta start to sit down.

As more sat down and the room was filled countless other monitors showed people in various command centers in what seemed to be across the Multiverse. Calvin walked into the center of the room before a pillar of light came out and took the shape of a woman with a helmet.

She looked around before declaring," Welcome to the former monitor watches and, otherwise know as valla-hal, the House of heroes. You are all here because Multitrillions of lives are at stake, the threat is absolute.

Calvin saw Mike winced before he put up his hand." Its fine Harbinger…Kevin's not coming back so we already picked a new member. The fact is that everyone's just about here that will, oh? Lacus…you made it!"

Mike's eyes widened up as he heard his mother's name. But as he swerved around he saw not his mother but a elegant woman with pink hair. She saw Mike's shock before she smiled." Pleased to meet you, I'm Lacus Clyne. Sorry I was late, I just had to comfort my husband, Kira."

As Ezan got alarmed, he saw a younger man then the Kira he knew walk up before he gave a awkward wave." I'm Kira Yamato…and I'm sorry you lost so much. We were just coming to terms with what we all have lost."

A round robot named a Haro bounced up before saying," Miss Lacus needed to sing her special song to ease up Kira! Haro!"

As Lacus looked flustered Calvin sighed." Sorry Mike, should have told you about are Lacus."

Mike winced before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Guess in a whole Multiverse bound to have someone with my folks's name eh? It…its ok…I come to terms with me being the only one left."

Calvin paused before he sighed." Its…not entirely clear that's the case Mike."

The curly haired man's eyes widened as he nearly jumped out of his seat." Wait…what? Dad…dad did make it to you guys after all?"

Calvin saw James, Daigo, Ezan, and the other natives of the Prime Universe look hopeful to before he made a pausing gesture." Not…yet. But that's part of what this is about. Please let me get to the briefing and I promise you will understand by the end."

Mike saw the Superman from another universe looked sincere before he nodded and sat down. Calvin looked around before he nodded." Here we go. I don't have to ask why you're here; we all know why.

Sieg V-Day Elgan, the head of the Infinite Victory and Conquest multiverse spanning corporation who goes by many names but is arrogant enough to call himself the man who always wins has taken from all of us, and he threatens to take everything from everyone if we don't stop him.

He thinks he won't ever answer from his crimes, and he might have killed trillions enough to think that is reality, but its not reality just yet. Still, it can't be denied that he's become so powerful that none of us alone can stand against him. But even if he's surpassed the power of many who call themselves God, he is not invincible. Now…we are going to go over how to prove it.

For those who have been too stressed out staying alive to remember everything, here is what we know. Sieg and his "Secretary" Mary Shekinah Nephilim are from the" Negaverse" the Dark part of the Multiverse."

Mike cleared his throat before he slowly put his hand up." Um…sorry if it's a dumb question but have you guys found out just what the hell the Negaverse is? All we know is that everyone that says they are from it is an asshole."

Alex Luthor snickered before he walked up next to Calvin." That's not the scientific term but its not to far from the truth. For you newcomers, it might be best to give you an ideal on how the Multiverse works."

He pressed a button before a hologram of a map appeared. Mike almost thought it was a marble before he saw that with a closer look the marble had smaller cubes, and that each cube was a universe.

Luthor gave everyone a moment before he nodded." The Multiverse is a cosmic construct forged by God, or at least someone with power we can only understand as " Godlike." The most basic way to describe it as we know it is that it has a sphere-like structure with several levels, or vibrational realms.

The Multiverse is composed of positive matter universes, an Antimatter Universe and a Limbo that is the Bleed we are now in that's like the space between universes. Not every alternate dimension is an entire independent universe, but instead maintain a parasitic relationship to a parent reality.

But the Antimatter universes are also known as the "Negaverse." Those are nightmare universe created from people's' deepest fears. That makes them naturally prone to evil acts…but that's not what is the sole source of Sieg's power. He, Mary, Gingrich Cherbourg Zaslav Yammka, and Carmen Idrissa Le Roi Harla sacrificed entire universe's and everyone in it to become" Sixth Dimensional beings."

Astra groaned before she leaned back and spat out," And that means they can be in many universe's at once and are broken as hell right? No offense but the Supreme Kai of time figured that much before Sieg invaded and killed her and just about everyone else there. If you guys don't have anything to tell us besides that then sounds like we are screwed."

While some got annoyed Calvin put his hand up before letting out a bitter chuckle." Don't worry, we did not bring you here just to tell you that your" all screwed". Many Bothans died to bring us this information, even more then usual, but we have a plan. It's not easy, but it's all or nothing.

At this point it's clear that while the energies required are not completely clear, those that become Sixth Dimensional beings do so by amassing the energy of multiple universe's to ascend past" Godhood."

Tyson winced before he looked at his hands." So we have to sacrifice entire universe's ourselves just to match him? Its either damn ourselves or damn everyone?"

Doctor Doom sighed before he stood up." It's not so simple boy. Doom does what Doom must but he is not descend himself to the level of a savage if need be. The energy does not have to be souls or lives…it just requires the energy compared to several universes. Doom already has outwitted the Beyonder of my universe to taking his power from him. Hence why I'm God Emperor Doom. In the end its simply a matter of mathematics, and capacity."

Mike saw Doom's fist glow before he let out a chuckle." So, you really have a machine that can make you a Sixth Dimensional Being? You can live long enough for Sieg to not kill you first?"

Doom winced before he looked down." Doom has not…finalized the calculations but the Mad Thinker is thinking like his life depends on it this very moment. But, at this stage of things using this "Geh-Jedollah" without alerting the IV&C is…in a non-ideal state."

James stroked his beard before uttering," So trying to match the power of our enemy, will bring them right to us before we can match them. That does put things in a very bad spot."

"The only way to get around that, is to admass power in a way our enemies are not expecting. And right now, we only have one real way to do that." Calvin uttered somberly before he pressed a button." That would be, to hijack the energy Sieg is using for his endgame before it's too late. In other words, as Sieg is trying to absorb everything, we draw the energy that's already being absorbed, and reconfigure it. Just hear me out.

Despite all the differences across the Multiverse there are things in common. We labeled them the Seven Forces of a Universe.

Also known as "The Seven Harmonious Forces" and more correctly known as "Anti-Crisis Energy" or "Connective Energy", are the most important energies, that can only be said as given off from God which are the underlying architecture of the Multiverse throughout the Overvoid.

But on the flipside, there is the Dark Forces of the Multiverse. At the other pole, the opposing power rages. We have come to call it... Crisis Energy.

The Seven Dark Forces, more properly known as "The Seven Hidden Forces of Creation" and also referred to as "Crisis Energy" or "Direct-Crisis Energy", are the dark reflections of The Seven Forces of the Universe and those who exist from the Negaverse are forged more of those energies.

Anti-Life, Chaos Magic, the" Dark side of the Force" the Forces of Doom. All power that disrupts, that takes instead of gives, power based in selfishness, greed, predation. Crisis Energy looks to shatter connection and make only one moment important, one self. You can understand how Sieg is the embodiment of such energy.

What he is doing at this very moment, is using the Prime Universe to send a wave across the Multiverse, a wave of Crises Energy that will cause a Multiverse level Big Crunch. If he has his way, everything will be undone and he will have mastery over every single thing there is.

But pay attention now because this is how we stop him. He has made himself vulnerable at this stage, even if not directly. The energy can be redirected. He is forcing all energy to be bound by his soul, but those who have his soul or DNA, can also have access to that energy."

Mike widened his eyes before he cleared his throat." Wait…so you're saying that because I have at least some of the same DNA I can just trick the systems to giving me the power?"

"Its not that simple." Calvin replied." To be honest, it might only work with a direct counterpart like your father. But right now, we are trying to find any counterpart to your father and Seig across the Multiverse.

None of them match his power but with enough counterparts, it might be able to redirect the systems. However, Sieg has already killed countless counterparts across the Multiverse."

Ezan winced before he looked around." I was wondering if any counterparts to Auro would be here. So…wait does this mean Sieg is aware of this already?"

"As far as we know that's not the case. He just hates " inferior versions" of himself that he's been hunting anyone with his face across the Multiverse just because" he wants to control the brand quality."

But…even he could not completely kill every counterpart across the Multiverse since they don't have the same name or personality. This, leads to the next part of the plan. I regret to say even as we are talking now the IV&C is beginning their end game and the "Oblivion Machine" has spread out across the Multiverse. Many universe's are being erased this very moment."

To prove his point he pressed a button to show many images. One showed an image of Mario and Luigi running to another Bowser as this version of the Koopa king sang," Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches

I love you, oh, huh? Wait that was not part of the, GUH!"

Bowser saw his counterpart and the entire universe get erased before he growled." Hey I would not go that easily! I mean that guy sounded way too scrawny to be a real Koopa King! Still…sounds like a pain so let's avoid that eh guys?"

Calvin nodded before he pressed a button." We still have a chance to avoid the worst case situation. As powerful as Sieg is, he can't just make this happen in a instant. And while the Multiverse is merging together…its not a smooth process. Some universe's are combining together to become "knot" universe's.

That, gives us are opening. We found three " knot universes" that give us the best odds. The universe's that are merging together all have similar energies. So, are focus is on the " Universe C knot." The Universe A Knot." And the Universe F Knot."

He pressed another button to show three earths. The left most one looked the most like Earth before Cavlin shrugged." The IV&C have inter-dimensional tuning forks fusing and directing the universes, and on Knot C its taking place on a earth that partly is fighting World War 2, while also fighting against a parallel universe where the Axis powers have won World War II in 1946 after Giuseppe Zangara successfully assassinates United States President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, creating a series of developments that include the Germans dropping an atomic bomb on Washington, D.C. which they renamed the "District of Contamination"

On top of that the IV&C's faction the "Galactic Hydra Empire" is also fighting under the command of Darth Sidious and a "Reichsmarschall of North America, Johann Shmidt, otherwise known as the Red Skull along withthe backing of the Sinestro Corps, lead by Thaal Sinestro himself."

Tyson snickered before he leaned back." Figured this was not going to be a peaceful vacation but at least we get to bust some old school Nazi's while we are at it."

Calvin nodded before pressing a button to highlight the middle planet." Well the Knot A universe is not at war, but that's because its been completely subdued. Many planets have merged into one planet, but the Inter-Dimensional Tuning Fork is located in what is known as "the city of Zalem " and being overseen by high ranking members of the IV&C such as Doctor Umataro Tenma…Doctor Nova…Raoh…President Funny Valentine…the Toguro Brothers…Sailor Galaxia…and the most powerful Frieza in the multiverse. We only got some basic intel, but it seems that they are currently having a " festival" right now to celebrate there victory."

Astra rolled her eyes before spitting out," So an even more ultra sadistic carnival for the assholes to show off? Well, at least we know how to get around these freak shows by now!"

Calvin nodded before pressing a button and closing his eyes." Lastly, the Knot F universe, has their tower in the City of Midgar, on the planet Centra."

Aries, Ezan, Vincent, and Red XIII all looked shocked as the flower girl looked at the world closely." My world? So, its back in our universe?"

"No, its not in the prime universe. It seems to be back at the time when you first died, and multiple versions of your friends like Cloud Strife, Tifa, and other " Servants of the planet" are located there. This world 's been harder to get info on so far but we do know that Sephiroth and the Shinra branch of the IV&C have been around, along with Nil."

Jack slammed his chair so hard he cracked it before he nearly seethed out," At last I'll get back on that whore! I WILL KILL THE CHAOS!"

Ezan sighed before he shrugged." At least I know what to expect with Sephiroth after fighting him over Night City."

"Don't be so sure." Angeal threw in tensely." They are in this fused version of my world trying to alter the past…to change the future to one that has the most amount of despair."

Aries winced before retorting with a somber," They really just want to spend all their time showing off how sadistic they are eh?"

"It is more then that." Angeal replied." The idea is that Sieg is drawing power to his Oblivion Machine by the amount of despair each universe's people are in. As sick as it is, the more despair each universe is, the more "amplified" each part of the wave is, making the Big Crunch happen faster."

Calvin nodded before he looked around." We can't help everyone in the Multiverse at once, but we can strike these three "Knot points and redirect the "Crises Energy" to take power away from Sieg. Then if we can find counterparts to him and Auro, it will hopefully be enough to turn what the IV&C's plan for their ultimate victory to become there final downfall. There's plenty that can go wrong with this plan but trust me, it's the best shot we have."

Mike saw how serious just about all the members of the Rebel Alliance looked before he looked down." Dad…guess you never made it here after all. But, I hope I can at least save your counterparts from across the Multiverse from getting the raw deal you got. I just…wish I had a chance to say how sorry I was for everything."

Calvin paused before he pressed another button." One more thing Mike…the final chapter on your father might not have been written yet."

Everyone from the Prime Universe showed various levels of shock before the curly haired man responded with," What? You mean…you have heard from him? Wait…is he captured by Sieg or something?"

"I'll just say now we have not heard from Ben Auro…but we have heard a message from his ship."

Daigo widened his eyes before Ben's Digimon partner ran up." The boss's ship is part of this fleet?"

"No…but we have gotten a transmission from it. It was not till we talked with you and saw your data that we even realized it was the Tri-Edge Ezan. That's because, it was…scrambled."

He pressed a button to show an unstable hologram showing the Tri-Edge floating through unsteady space before a robotic voice uttered," SOS to all Enji and agents of the Bethal Kingdom. Emergency crises retrieval Spiral Sepulkore Getter Warp protocols has been activated. Lacus retrieval incomplete…error. Lock on confirmed…recharge required…error…. entering lockdown mode to conserve power."

The transmission ended before Mike looked around in confusion." Wait…that's his ship but…but what did that mean?"

"Frankly we hoped your parents told us because we have no idea what that was supposed to mean."

Calvin uttered grimly. James widened his eyes before he patted Mike on the back." I do know what that means Mike. The Spiral Sepulkore Getter Warp was to warp out someone who's life was in danger. Then, the Sepulkore protocol was to warp away from the threat, by moving to another dimensional plane if required."

Ezan widened his eyes before adding," It seems Donatello was trying to warp Lacus away before Abeloth could absorb her…he was not successful, but the energy exchange may be what saved my life and let me meet the Alliance. It seems that…just maybe…Ben was warped into the Tri-Edge.

Maybe…the ship does not have the power to return from the pocket dimension. But maybe it…still is locked on to where Lacus is being held…even if that's in her attacker's body. Wait, the ship is locked to respond to Ben, maybe, maybe it could also help reconfigure the Crises energy away from Sieg?"

"Its possible." Calvin answered." The recording from the Tri-Edge was found near all three of the Knot universe's. It, could have crashed in any of those universe's. So, another reason for us to investigate at least."

Mike took a deep breath before he looked at the broken hilt of the Divine Mugen Nova." Dad…Mom…I was to late to save Max and Richard but…I won't give up on you guys."

Astra paused before she sighed." Guess we better hurry up while there's still a universe to go back to. Um…is there a way to like…unravel the universes?"

Xeno Goku let out a uneasy chuckle before he leaned back." Something tells me we are going to have to use a lot of Dragon Ball wishes to fix this when we win. I tried punching the universe's apart but was told that would just make things worst."

Many members of the alliance looked at each other before Alex Luthor sighed." We all want to save are homes…but we have to prepare for the fact that the only choices we might have are to adapt to a new future or have no future at all.

My life is not in synch with most of the Lex Luthors across the multiverse since I had what apparently was a rare " happy childhood." But I still was born in Smallville, Kansas.

When I was a boy, one of my favorite things to do was go to the run down planetarium in the science museum. They showed the same film every day, the treat beginning all about the birth of the galaxy. The big bang, the formation of the stars, the planets, life itself, all the way to Smallville. I loved it, it made me feel like a tiny part of this epic story of life.

One day, though, the projectionist, he loaded the film wrong, and played it in reverse. Instead of staring at the beginning, the story started now and worked backwards. Everything was unmade…human life, the earth, the galaxy…until there was nothing left but a speck, and then at the end, that title, the great beginning.

My father calmed me down though and said it was a mistake but I still could not sleep. That night I lay awake in my bed. For the first time, the smallness of my town, of my own existence, of everything…instead of comforting me, it scared me. The stars had made me feel part of a story. Now the story was too big and would go on without me. And I hated them. I wanted cake, like in Alice in wonderland, something I could eat and become big, bigger than anything.

Sieg…seems to be trying to do something like that as well…become so big that he will never feel small again."

The one known as Lord Genome snickered before he grasped his fist tightly." He truly is the Spiral Nemesis that the Anti-Spirals feared…a man who's bottomless hunger would devour all creation."

Luthor nodded before he looked around." The point I was trying to make is that while we must do what we can to stop the IV&C…we must realize what will happen if we become like them. We can't cling to an obsessive "perfection" that would destroy everything. Despite how different we are, we have to settle for reality, not a dream."

Bria winced from her seat as she grasped her necklace tightly." Holding on to tightly just caused us to lose even more."

As her children comforted her Mike nodded." No matter how good you are, got to know when you pushed your luck, stop gambling and take home what you can. I guess for now it depends on how long do we have? "

Everyone felt a shockwave before Calvin braced himself. "Just long enough to plan out the details. That was not a direct attack, but even the Bleed is not going to be safe for long. After all, can't be a space between universe's if there is no longer a Multiverse. Sorry, but after this there's not going to be time to rest till its over."

Mike felt another tremor and gave a grim nod." Its cool…don't really think I can every really rest or be at ease till this is over, one way or another. Already gambled everything to pull off a one in a million heist to get my own life back, might as well keep the momentum going while I'm on a hot streak."

Kenobi looked around before he gave a grim nod." May the Force be with us all."

Spock nodded before adding," So that all the good people across the multiverse can live long and prosper."

Kimberly nodded before adding," May the power protect us all, if there is any of that kind of power left."

Calvin nodded before he grasped his fist tightly." For the sake of a better tomorrow for everyone, not just the" board" of this damn IV&C."

The member of the alliance named Lord Asriel pet the snow leopard that was next to him and let out a deep sigh." No matter the cost, we must believe that to rebel was right and just, when you considered what the agents of the "Authority" did in his name."

The man named Kessler nodded before he smirked." We risked a lot to get to this point, but the risk was still worth it. It's the same with my friends. Suspicion is healthy in our profession—but only to an extent. I'd rather trust my men than worry about what will happen if they turn on me.

We have to prove that we are not just beating Sieg by being bigger monsters, but by breaking his whole philosophy…it's the only way to make the cost worthwhile. We have to represent that one thing Sieg has never been able to kill so far, no matter how hard he tried. Hope."

Mike nodded before he took a deep breath." Sieg…this really is the everything or nothing bet. But no matter how much you stacked this in your favor…with everyone from every universe left working together we are going to make sure the IV&C house does not win this! I know life is not meant just to be ruled by the biggest asshole who gets the gun first, I know it."

Doctor Doom is of course based off the Fantastic Four version mostly from the Comics and oh, like how he was in the 2012 cartoon, and he's pure Doom, not Tony Stark…god damn it Marvel/ Disney you're so desperate with the MCU now but, another time on that.

Sally Acorn and the rest of the Freedom Fighters are from the old Sonic cartoon and the first comics.

Angeal is from Cries Core, Jack Garland is from Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and the Warrior of Light Themis is a mix of the Warrior of light from Dissida and the one in Final Fantasy 14.

Frost is from Dragon Ball Super, and unlike in that show he is truly good hear, and Hearts is from Dragon Ball Heros. Thane is from Marvel introduced in the "Infnity" comic.

Alex Luthor was introduced in Crises of Infinite Earth's comic, Lord Asriel is from the Golden Compass book and show and movie, while Kelsier is from the Mistborn books.

Hope the explanation of what's about to happen makes sense. I was inspired by a mix of the events in the original Crises On Infinite Earths, its successor Infinite Crises, Dark Knights Death Metal, and Dark Crises.

To recap, the next arc is going to be about three worlds that are parts of fragmented universes mixed together. One mixed primarily with the DC, Marvel and Star Wars franchises with a bit of The Man in the High Castle.

The second is going to be a mix of a lot of anime and manga worlds with elements of Astro Boy, Battle Angel Alita, and Dragon Ball.

And the third is going to well, mostly about the FF 7 reboot but not just that, but elements of all the final fantasy games, with a surprise to boot.

Like with how I covered Battleworld in EXE it's going to be one planet at a time even if it's supposed to take place around the same time for the sake of my sanity. Hopefully I'll be able to do all that I wanted to do properly, but for now thanks for all the reviews, hope you liked today's chapter enough to leave another one and till next time lets…hope this site lasts long enough for ( site suddenly is collapsing) damn it just hang on long enough to let me get to the end here guys, please.
