Queenstopia.
Alexa: So what you're saying is...My father-Izaiah Zero is pure darkness come to life?
A flashback to what had occurred before these smaller Outerverse's appears in Brooke's mind.
Brooke (narrating): Yes. He was a monster, he was a beast. He would attack many who dared to come his way.
A previous version of me is shown, and it's me standing above bloody bodies.
Brooke (narrating): He would kill anyone. One day...
It shows me floating above The Great Outerverse. A ball of destruction in my hand.
Brooke (narrating): He destroyed the Great Outerverse, eventually, our home was destroyed.
The flashback ends and Alexa is in a nightgown about to sleep.
Alexa: Why would he do that?
Brooke: Because men are power hungry and can never be satisfied. It'll only lead to destruction, because your Universe's Earth is a great example of it.
Alexa: So you want women to rule instead of men?
Brooke: You're a clever girl.
She chuckles, and she lays down in the bed next to Alexa.
Alexa: I want more women to rule. I'm not the biggest fan of men underestimating us women. It makes me angry.
Brooke: I have an idea, or a proposal would be better to say.
Alexa: What is it?
Brooke rolls to her side and looks at Alexa. Alexa does the same.
Brooke: Wanna work together? We can show those uncouth, pompous, arrogant, and stupid men who the true bosses are.
Alexa: I'd love that!
They both sit up.
Brooke: Do you want to figure out a plan instead of sleeping?
Alexa: Do you have to ask?
Instead of sleeping, Alexa and Brooke start to plan what they want to do.
In another Universe.
Johnny shoots a bullet at cow. He walks up and inspects the cow.
Johnny: Not it.
He stands back up and looks around. Ten cows lay dead on the ground.
Johnny: How have I not found it?
Johnny climbs back into a tree. He reads his commission again.
Johnny: I can't use guns? That makes sense...I probably killed it already, but fuck it.
A cow moo's in distance, and Johnny readies a bow and arrow. He leaps from branch to branch with no elegance. He unleashes three arrows at the cow's head.
Johnny: Hope this is it.
Johnny jumps down and cuts the cow open.
Johnny: Finally.
He pulls out a silver cow heart.
Johnny: Got this damn thing. How did it even get a silver heart in the first place?
Johnny teleports to a tavern where he got the comission. He sits at an empty table, and waits for person. Johnny orders a margarita.
Johnny: Where is this person?
He groans in annoyance and places his head on a table. He hears heels walking up to the table.
Johnny: I'm not interested in you, woman.
???: Oh? So that's just a replica silver cow heart?
Johnny sits up straight, and looks at the woman. He can't say anything since he is taken off guard by her beauty. She wears a skin-tight black dress that cuts off above the knee. She also wears stilettos to mske herself seem taller. Her hair is wavy and she carries a black bag. Her makeup makes her look near to a whore.
???: Cat got your tongue?
Johnny doesn't reply. She chuckles and sits across from him. She orders some wine.
???: So, Johnny, you gonna give me the cow heart?
Johnny takes a deep breath and speaks with a calm, collected voice.
Johnny: Why does a pretty lady like you need this cow heart? And it better not be because it's silver and you want to sell it.
???: You already said my reason.
Johnny: Great... Wait, how did you even put out a commission? Women aren't allowed to-
???: I used my husband's name. Relax.
Johnny: So you're Jackson's wife?
???: Correct.
Johnny's margarita gets here and he takes a sip.
Johnny: Thank you. (Looks at ???) I want to know your name.
Carly: Carly.
Johhny: Carly...
Carly: That's right.
Carly's wine arrives at the table.
Carly: Thank you.
Johnny: Can't believe you're out by yourself.
Carly: Believe it baby. There's a lot I can get away with.
Johnny: Oh really?
Carly nods. She downs her wine in one gulp and does the same with Johnny's margarita.
Carly: Silly boy~ Why would you have a margarita when you have me?
Johnny: You're the type to get flirty off alcohol. Good to know.
Johnny puts the silver cow heart in his inventory. Carly drags him out of the tavern and leads him to a hotel. They book a room and they have sex together. After they're done, Johnny is lying on the bed with a satisfied smile. Carly's head is on his chest, as she listens to his heartbeat a blanket gets put on top of her.
Johnny: You do this a lot?
Carly: Yes I do. You're the best one I've had.
Johnny: Glad you enjoyed it.
Carly: I'm pretty sure everyone heard how much I was enjoying it.
Johnny: You like cheating on your husband?
Carly: Yes I do. he's barely home. He has his job with the emperor, so he can't leave.
She closes her eyes and fall's asleep. Johnny follows soon after.
In another galaxy.
Annabelle is tying a boat to a tree.
Annabelle: You found anything?
Lily Zero: No.
A menacing piano plays in the background.
Lily Zero: Izaiah even had to take our powers. I feel useless now.
The menacing piano stops.
Annabelle walks up and places a hand on Lily Zero's shoulder.
Annabelle: You're not useless. Izaiah may have taken our powers, but he didn't take our strength. He didn't take our speed. We still have our physical abilities.
Annabelle wraps her arms around Lily Zero. Lily Zero rests her head on Annabelle's shoulders, she lets out a sigh of relaxation. Annabelle pulls away after 20 seconds.
Annabelle: Better?
Lily Zero: Better.
They hear footsteps approaching. Annabelle gets ready to fight and defend her and Lily Zero. The footsteps grow closer and closer to them. Annabelle glowers at the jungle, where the footsteps are coming from. They see Grace jump out of the forest.
Grace: I hate bugs.
She sighs in relief that she doesn't have to be in a bug infested jungle anymore. Grace stands up and looks at Annabelle and Lily Zero. She smiles and hugs them both.
Grace: I've missed you guys so much!!
Lily Zero: We've missed you too. Were you in that jungle-
Grace: Since Izaiah teleported us? YES!! Is...I need sleep...
Grace sighs and falls to the ground. Her eyes close. Annabelle crouches down next to her and checks her pulse.
Annabelle: You can't die on us now, Grace. We will get back to Izaiah and we will beat him.
Annabelle looks up at Lily Zero and gives her a reassuring smile. Annabelle picks Grace up.
Annabelle: Unconscious. Must be exhaustion kicking in. Come on, back on the boat.
Annabelle carries the unconscious Grace onto the boat. Lily Zero unties it from the tree, and she pushes it into the water. She climbs onto the boat and rows the boat with Annabelle's help.
Lily Zero: We're gonna kill him, right?
Annabelle: After we destroy him and his confidence. Then we'll-
Lily Zero: Annabelle.
Annabelle: What?
She realizes that she's going too far and reels it back. Annabelle chuckles, and Lily Zero shakes her head with a chuckle. The camera glitches back to Alexa and Brooke. The two of them are floating above the planet they were formally on.
Alexa: Thank you for giving me some powers, Brooke.
Brooke: Of course, Brooke. Can't even believe that he would get rid of your powers.
Alexa: He halved yours, correct?
Brooke: Correct. Ready to destroy this planet?
Alexa nods. Brooke transforms into one of her many dragon forms, long enough to wrap herself around the entire planet. Alexa floats down. She creates a false sun that only gives off light.
Alexa: This planet is a utopia. Such beauty is near unparalleled in the entirety of this Multiverse.
She teleports to the capital kingdom.
Alexa: King's Domain.
Alexa forces the king and his right hand out in the open.
King: What's the meaning of this?
Alexa: If it isn't the king...
King: Who are you? What do you want from the realm?
King's Right Hand: And can we talk this over tea?
Alexa: No. You see...I'm sick and tired of men always assuming that they're the better gender.
King: It's so cold...
Alexa: And it'll keep getting colder until you do one thing.
King: What is it you want from me?
Alexa: Give every women higher rights.
King: What? Why?
Alexa: Cause women always suffer, we always go through the pain.
King's Right Hand: I'm sorry, but the king won't be heeding your demands.
Alexa: It wasn't a question. It was a demand. Oh yeah, I want the Ten Kingdoms, too.
King's Right Hand: Another usurper? The king-
King: Silence, fool. A king must protect his people. It'll only grow colder if we stall, and stalling will get everyone killed. I'm sorry, but I have to do this...
He looks up at Alexa.
King: The Ten Kingdoms are yours, M'lady.
Alexa: That was too quick... Thanks for the entire Realm. We no longer need you or your right hand.
Alexa flicks her wrist and the King and the King's Right Hand explode into pieces. She flicks away the false sun, as Brooke appears next to her.
Brooke: That was quick. Glad he realized it was futile, so quickly.
Alexa: At least he was smart, unlike others.
Brooke looks down at the people of King's Domain. She smiles, as she looks at the people's frightened faces. They tremble, since they see two nonhumans kill the former King and his Right Hand, some fall to the ground out of sheer terror.
Brooke: All the men, step forward!
The men makes themselves visible for Alexa and Brooke to see. Alexa looks over at Brooke, giving her a sinister smile.
Brooke: All the men will be forced to stay confined to their homes. They will be used as slaves for the beautiful women of the Ten Kingdoms.
Alexa's sinister smile disappears. She looks at Brooke, confused.
Alexa: What? What are you talking about?
Brooke looks at Alexa.
Brooke: The men being slaves?
Alexa: No! I want women to be seen as equals. I never wanted men to be viewed lesser beings.
Brooke: Women have been looked down upon for many eons. It won't change unless there is a catalyst to start it. We secured this whole planet, and we can make sure that the women rule!
Alexa: Yes, men have looked down on women for so long, but that doesn't give us any reason to downplay them!
Brooke: I'm sorry. Are you going against me?
Alexa's eyes widen. She shakes her head.
Alexa: No, I'm with you, but I...
Brooke: You what?
Alexa: I don't want anyone to be seen as a lesser being, unless they truly deserve it.
Brooke: So men haven't abused, neglected-
Alexa: Are you saying women can't do that?
Brooke appears in front of Alexa. Her hand wrapped around Alexa's throat. Alexa gasps for air.
Brooke: Listen you whore. You have a choice: You can live here, no powers, your physical abilities will stay, but will be shrinked. Or you can get your revenge with me against that bastard, Izaiah Zero.
She lets go of Alexa's throat. Brooke looks at Alexa, waiting for her choice. Alexa catches her breath.
Alexa: I...I...
Alexa looks Brooke in the eyes. She takes a minute to think of a few possibilities.
Alexa: I'll take my revenge...I'll stay with you...
Brooke: Good.
Brooke floats down to the ground leaving Alexa in the air.
At the estate.
Linka walks up to Lisa.
Linka: Have you been able to find them?
Lisa: No. Their energy signatures have disappeared.
Linka: They gave their energy to you so you'd be able to track them...
Lisa: I should've been given a dragon scale, or a lock lf their hair. I'd be able to pinpoint their location if-
The door to the lab opens. Linka and Lisa look at the door. Kaila enters, looking impotent.
Linka: Kaila? What's wrong?
Kaila: I was able to find some of them, but they lost their powers. They are now stranded.
Lisa: Let's be glad that Izaiah didn't take you.
Kaila slightly smiles. She loses the smile as a realization dawns on her.
Kaila: I don't think now is the time to retrieve them. We don't know where Izaiah is.
Linka: Good point.
Kaila: I'll keep trying to find him.
With that, Kaila leaves the room. Kaila walks to her room.
Kaila: What could Izaiah want from us?
She teleports to the last place, before I teleported Team Maelstrom's strongest members. Kaila checks every nook and cranny.
Kaila: Can't find anything. What could indicate such an attack?
She keeps looking around, until she finds a photo on the ground. She sees it's me and Thea. She's trying to drag me towards a party.
Kaila: Isn't that the same girl when we were getting ready for Izaiah's birthday?
Kaila flips the photo over, and she sees that it was Thea's ninth birthday.
Kaila: She's so young.
Hollywood Rock theme starts to play in the back.
Kaila: What is this? Is The Rock in some arena nearby? I bet it's some random kid-
She gets cutoff by it suddenly going dark. Smoke appears and fills the street, and a tear in sky. Kaila notices someone walking towards her, 11 streaks a strawberry-blonde hair pulse in the darkness. The sky turns red.
Kaila: This is so badass...
The person walking towards her is me. I look at her through my sunglasses.
Me: Kaila Zero... You're not fit to be a Zero.
I walk towards her with the theme fading in the back. I look down at the photo she's holding. I look back into her eyes. I can see the helplessness behind them.
Me: You're afraid. You feel weak around me... Good to know.
I circle her, my streaks pulsing again.
Me: Are you with her?
Kaila: With who?
Me: Brooke.
Kaila: I barely know her, and I barely know you.
Me: Picking a bad answer already?
Kaila: And whichever side my aunt Alexa is on, is the side I'm on.
I take off my sunglasses and flick them into my pocket.
Me: I see...
Kaila drops to her knees. She clutches her stomach.
Kaila: (through gritted teeth) What did you do...?
Me: What I have to.
The last thing Kaila sees is my foot, before the screen turns black. Alexa is standing away from the crowd, a few feet away from Brooke. Brooke is talking to a guy.
Brooke: Alexa? Alexa, come here!
Alexa freezes slightly, she takes a sip of her drink and moves toward Brooke.
Brooke: This nice gentleman wants you to be his Lady in the West. I told him that's up to you.
Alexa looks at Brooke, and then at the guy.
Alexa: I don't want to be your lady. I don't even know you.
She walks off after saying what she wanted to say.
Brooke: She kept that brief. Guess you won't be getting Alexa as your lady, Jackson.
Jackson: You told me she would agree, that she would be delighted to marry me. You said I would keep the West!
Brooke: You live and you learn. You shouldn't trust someone that can turn their kids against their father.
Jackson: You what?
Brooke freezes time. She stabs Jackson in the chest.
Brooke: Can't believe that you listened to me. I guess you never knew about my former husband.
With that, Jackson sees Brooke transform into a dragon. Brooke devours Jackson, whole. Time unfreezes, and Brooke asks guest where Alexa is. She finds her out on a balcony.
Brooke: What's wrong, Alexa?
Alexa doesn't respond to her, keeping her gaze at the sunset.
Brooke: Alexa.
Alexa turns around to see Brooke.
Alexa: You scared me...
Brooke: Is there something bothering you?
Alexa: No... I'm fine.
Brooke wraps her arms around Alexa in a tight hug. She rubs Alexa's back in a "Z" pattern.
Brooke: You can tell ne anything. We're teammates, and a good teammate always makes sure that her othrr teammate is good. Can't have you being upset, can we?
Alexa: Yeah, I guess you're right.
She lets a sigh. Alexa rests her head on Brooke's shoulder. She releases all her stress and frustration's.
Alexa: I'm supposed to be the Head of The Table. I have the final say in every Outerverse, but Izaiah came in and destroyed it for me. I feel weak, unappreciated, and worst of all, not worthy to be sitting at the Head of The Table.
Brooke: Don't let him ruin you, Lexi. He's more pissed with me, rather you. However, he won't hesitate to attack you now.
Alexa: What?
Brooke: We're working together. He hates me and will not hesitate if I'm working with anyone else.
She looks down, and Alexa notices Brooke's shift in emotion.
Alexa: Is something wrong?
Brooke: Yeah, something is wrong and it's his best friend. The only one to ever love him. Izaiah is still mad about me being the cause of her death.
Alexa: Best friend?
Brooke: Little girl. She has strawberry-blonde hair... I think.
Alexa's eyes widen as she remembers the photo of me and the girl from the Interlude chapter. She remembers the smile that Thea had.
Alexa: How old was she when she died?
Brooke: 11.
Alexa backs away. She looks at Brooke as if that's the most absurd thing she's ever heard in the past century.
Alexa: You killed a child?
Brooke: It wasn't me.
Alexa: Oh...
Brooke: It was some military soliders or something. She wasn't shot, but she was caught in an explosion. I think her name was...Thea?
Gold electricty appears. I punch Brooke in the jaw. Dropping an unconscious Kaila, I walk towards Brooke.
Me: You talking 'bout my friend?
Brooke: Yeah. That little bitch had what was coming to her.
I growl and kick her off the balcony. I fly into the air. The eleven streaks in my air starts to pulse extremely bright. An extreme pressure surronds the planet causing everyone besides Alexa, Brooke, and I to fall unconscious. The streaks form into one big orange streak. I glare at her and prepare a blast. I return back to Kaila as my energy disappears. The extreme pressure disappears.
Me: It will be settled...
I look down at Alexa.
Me: Tell her that it won't be the time now or ever. My power level is no where near comparable with anyone, Brooke included.
I grab Kaila and teleport away. Alexa teleports to check and inform Brooke.
At House Zero
I teleport with Kaila.
Me: I bought her.
I toss Kaila onto the ground.
Me: What? She's a Goddess. She'll be fine.
I groan and take Kaila into the house. I set her on a table.
Me: Yeah, yeah. What do you even need her for?
I look down to my right and nod my head in acknowledgment.
Me: Good to know that you're already planning for the future.
Shrugging, I move and lay down on the couch. I shrug as I look at nothing.
Me: You say that, but I know you'll just being humble. You gotta stop being humble sometimes.
I sit up and raise my hands in surrender.
Me: I didn't mean for the streaks to turn orange! That is not my fault!
I groan.
Me: It still has remnants of the strawberry-blonde. So I would take that as a win.
I lay back down.
Me: Whatever. I'm gonna take my nap.
I close my eyes and fall asleep for a few minutes. I groan in annoyance as I sit up.
Me: What could you possibly need me to do now?
I shake my head. I look down knowing that I'm gonna do it anyway.
Me: We already have Kaila, and we don't need to get anyone else. It'd just be a waste of time.
My eyes move to the empty space on the couch. I grumble under my breath.
Me: Fine...
I stand up, and I walk to the door.
Me: Who or what do I need to get?
With Johnny.
Johnny wakes up to yelling and things getting smashed.
Johnny: What the hell is going on?
He forces himself to roll out of bed, since he loves sleep, Johnny walks out of the bedroom and sees Carly and Jackson arguing.
Johnny: Hey!
His voice seems to be drowned out by the married couple's aruging. Jackson throws a plate at Carly, and Carly retaliates by throwing a chair at him.
Johnny: Damn.
Carly pushes Jackson up against the floor, pressing a knife against his chest.
Carly: I'll kill you!
She raises the knife, but Johnny makes it in time to stop her.
Johnny: Calm down!
She turns around and smacks Johnny. Johnny keeps his calm. He brings Carly to the bathroom and puts her in the bathroom.
Johnny: You stay and you calm the hell down.
He goes and talks with Jackson. After their done talking he goes back to the bathroom. Jackson sits on the couch. Johnny comes out of the bathroom, with Carly, after hearing Carly's side.
Johnny: You two are toxic to each other, and the fact that you both can't stand the sight of each is just pissing me off.
Jackson: You slept with my wife.
Johnny: And I'll do it again. She's a freak in bed, needless to say, I won't you two to divorce so I can marry Carly.
Jackson goes to speak, but Carly cuts him off.
Carly: I'll glady do that!
She runs up and stabs Jackson in the head.
Johnny: Okay...
He chuckles. Carly stabs Jackson's body repeatedly.
Johnny: You can stop now.
Carly moves away from Jackson's body. Johnny sighs as he has to dispose of the body.
Johnny: Wait, murder is legal here, right?
Carly: Yeah. Since we all die one day it's sometimes better to kill someone soon than later. Sometimes it's a send off for lovers.
Johnny: I feel disturbed and intrigued, but I can't feel disturbed since I have killed a lot of people.
Carly: Oh really?
Johnny nods. He starts talking to Carly about every kill he remembers.
With Annabelle, Grace, and Lily Zero.
Grace wakes up next to a small fire.
Grace: Why's this fire here?
Lily Zero: Because you were cold. (Walks in) Had to warm you up somehow.
Grace: Lily? Where are we?
Lily Zero: A village. Annabelle got us our own land by...
Grace: By what?
Lily Zero: Selling...bod...
Grace: I'm sorry, did you say Annabelle sold herself to the men?
Annabelle: No. I sell dead animal bodies. For a near high price.
Annabelle walks into the room. She has her hands on her hips.
Annabelle: Don't tell me you thought I'd ever be a sex slave.
Grace: I just had to make sure you didn't lose it.
Lily Zero: It would be shocking though. You're always so defiant.
Annabelle: Haha. Come on, I have an idea on how to get our powers back.
Cuts to the estate.
Lynn Jr: He's called what?!
Secret: Izaiah Zero is called "The Devil with a Zero." He's essentially Steph Curry with LeBron James athleticism.
Lincoln: Oh great...
Lana: Does that mean we're going to lose?
Lynn Jr: Basically, yeah. It's so not going to be fair.
Secret: He's also "The Founding Zero." I have no idea what that means since Brooke is one year older.
Linka: Whatever that means. I just know we'll have to be extremely prepared for anything, and if that "anything" is Izaiah Zero then we'll have to be ready.
Lori: We literally have no one to help train us, Linka.
???: You sure about that?
They all turn to the front door. Their eyes widen in disbelief as they see Leah standing at the door.
Chrissy: Leah?
Leah looks at everyone. The camera cuts to me beating up Cassidy.
Me: You had it all. You were part of the promised land! You're apart of the strongest, most powerful, almighty, beyond Omnipotent family! Yet you threw it all away because you want to cause problems.
I smack Cassidy in the face.
Me: I had to kill the one that you and...Alexa brought back! She betrayed me and you seem to be fine with that.
I stomp on Cassidy's back, flipping her to her back, I climb on top of her and rain right hands on her. I stop after 20 punches. I stare at her bloody face.
Me: You have lost all connections to House Zero.
I put my hand on her chest. Cassidy screams in pain as she tries to push me off. I slowly drain every connection she has to House Zero.
Me: You feel my pain? Huh!?
Cassidy (strained): You...BASTARD!!!
I finish draining her. I stand up watching her writhe in pain.
Me: Goodbye, Cassidy.
Raising my hand, I go to strike her chest. I try to move my hand, but I am unable to deliver the final blow. I sigh.
Me: I can't kill you...
I teleport away from her. I leave Cassidy in a beaten and bloody state.
With Alexa and Brooke.
Brooke is sitting on her bed. She watches the sun rise on the very first day of ruling The Ten Kingdoms.
Brooke: The Ten Kingdoms. I will call you "Queenstopia." Since the girls run this planet.
Brooke walks to the door and hesitates at grabbing the door handle. She seems to be reliving something, and it seems to be eating her up from the inside. It's something that she can't forget. Thea's death.
Brooke: Why is she in my head?
The door bursts open. Brooke chops the door in half only to see my fist. She smashes into her bed as I grab her throat and slam her back into the broken bed.
Me: You afraid now? You feel it, Brooke? This isn't near the pain I've felt.
Brooke tries to pry my hand away.
Me: I can give you what you want, but it won't be women ruling. It's going to be a match with me. It won't be happening soon and it'll probably never happen. You don't deserve it.
I tighten my grip around her throat.
Me: I made up my mind already. You won't be getting that match anytime while you're alive.
I teleport away. Brooke takes multiple breaths, she places a hand on her throat.
Brooke (panting): ...Sonofabitch...
I appear in House Zero.
Me: I got the stuff you needed. Why do you need them anyway?
I place a hand on my hip.
Me: I see...
I look down at Kaila's unconscious body.
Me: And you plan to unlock her true self? What self does she even have?
I look genuinely confused. My eyes widen as I figure out what's going to happen.
Me: You know that spell?
With Alexa and Brooke.
Alexa rushes into the room. Brooke looks up at her.
Alexa: What happened?
Brooke: Izaiah...
Brooke takes a few more deep breaths.
Brooke: Run Queenstopia for me...
Alexa nods and leaves Brooke to recover. Alexa starts to add new laws across the realm. The camera fades to black.
