Lost Control.

Johnny, Beck, and Austin are thinking of a plan for what to do.

Johnny: We haven't done anything in a while. We gotta attack them.

Austin: We can't go out and hit them with a barrage. They have Alexa, Leah, and Cassidy on their side.

Beck: We just have to pick them off one at a time.

Austin: So let's go after the strongest to weakest.

Johnny: Cassidy, Leah, Alexa? I like it.

Austin: Actually, I checked the power rankings and I saw something astonishing.

Johnny: What was it? Did one of them pass Izaiah?

Austin: No. Under Izaiah it goes: Alexa, Cassidy, then Leah.

Beck: Back to back?

Austin: Correct. Leah is very close to Cassidy.

Johnny: Does anyone near where Sun is?

Beck: He said he's getting peaches or something.

As they talk, a silver ball lands near them. They sit up and prepare to fight. A young girl with platinum blonde hair walks towards them. Her silver and purple dress sways in the nonexistent wind. They can sense something weird with this platinum blond-haired girl but shrug it off.

???: I've heard stories about you all.

Johnny: Who are you? What do you want?

???: Johnny, the fat pig.

Johnny looks confused at that. The girl's platinum blonde hair sways with the wind, but there's no wind.

???: The dumb fuck, the idiot from another universe.

Beck: You said you heard stories? Tell us.

The little girl with platinum blonde hair tells them what she has heard about them.

Grace is wrapping a bandage around Lincoln's leg. He had injured himself during his training.

Lincoln: Can't you just heal me?

Grace: I could. But what would you learn? To go all out to the point your body tears?

Lincoln looks away from Grace as she sighs and shakes her head, looking frustrated at Lincoln's stubbornness.

Grace: I was told by Alexa-

Lincoln: I don't care what Alexa says.

Grace: She told me that you have to learn how to control your anger. We've made an enemy of Izaiah Zero. It's impossible to beat him because no one can even outpower him. He's always holding back his power, so no fictional or nonfictional character can even beat him. Anu, Azathoth (Cthulhu Mythos), I AM THAT I AM, The Amaranth, God (Unsong), Jehovah (World of Darkness), Self-Reference Engine (Character), The White Light, The Wyld, Yog Sothoth (Guns Girl Z), The Presence, The Weaver (World of Darkness), All versions of Rimuru, CC Goku, Anos Voldigoad, Antispiral, The Truth, Lain Iwakura, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Ryuk, Beyonder, Akuto Sai, The One Above All, Mara, Mother Night, The Comet King, and basically every character that's tier High 1-A to Tier 0 tried to fight Izaiah Zero. He beat them by using a tiny fraction of power.

Lincoln's eyes widen at that statement.

Lincoln: You lie.

Grace: It's the truth. Izaiah Zero told Alexa who told us, he's always growing in terms of power. He grows in power whenever he's asleep too.

Lincoln: And he's the one Alexa's trying to get answers from? The one where we're all trying to have a chance against?

Grace: Yup.

Lincoln looks down in disbelief. Alexa was serious about beating me, and the fact she wants everyone to train to beat me and teach everyone about me.

Lincoln: So when will we fight him?

Grace: We don't know. But I know that it's going to be multiple battles.

Lincoln: So he could attack us at any time...

Lincoln strokes his chin in thought.

Grace: Done.

Lincoln sees the perfectly, wrapped bandage. He nods and Grace picks him up.

Grace: Before you ask, you're going to bed.

Lincoln: But it's day.

Grace: And you're injured.

Grace carries Lincoln to his bed. They pass Linka and Lucy's training with Lily Zero.

Lily Zero: Lucy, you're leaving yourself wide open on your left side. Same with you Linka, but on the right. Izaiah might use that weakness against you and we can't let that hinder our progress.

Linka: Got it. We'll keep training harder.

Lucy: We've been training for 8 hours.

Lily Zero: I know. But we have to work on our imperfections first, so we can learn attacks from...

Linka and Lucy notice how she trailed off and is thinking of something.

Lily Zero: This might work. Linka, if you can protect Lucy from the right, same for you Lucy but on the left for Linka, I think you two might be fine. Going to be a lot of teamwork though.

Linka: I think we can do it.

Lucy: Might take some time to get used to.

Lily Zero: Alright. Let's try it.

The three of them go back to sparring, as Luna is practicing music manipulation on Luan. Luna looks at Annabelle.

Annabelle: You're trying to control her mind with your guitar. I know you're new to this but this involves-

Annabelle gets cut off by getting caught by a green beam. She looks at the person holding her by the collar of her shirt.

Annabelle: Johnny?

Johnny glares at her and slams her into the ground.

Johnny: How dare you say that?!

Annabelle: Say what?

Johnny: You know, I'm tired of your bullshit!

Johnny goes to punch her. Annabelle blocks a punch to the chest.

Annabelle: What the hell's wrong with you?!

Johnny: You know why!!

Johnny throws her into a building, exploding upon impact. Annabelle catches a kick and they flow into space. Lily Zero is looking confused as to what occurred.

Lily Zero: I should help her.

She senses a disturbance and ducks under a blast of fire. Lily Zero looks over and sees Austin.

Austin: You'll pay for what you said.

Lily Zero: I didn't even say anything!

Someone flies outside. That someone is Grace and she catches herself on a tree.

Grace: Who the?

Beck: Can't believe you thought you could get away with such...discriminatory words.

Grace: Didn't know you could use fancy words. You're so simple-minded that I never knew it was a possibility.

Beck growls and the two of them disappear. Lily Zero and Austin fly away from the estate. Inside the estate, Alexa and Leah are standing against Sun.

Sun: I never knew you could be so harsh with your words, Alexa.

Leah: What's he talking about, Lexi?

Alexa: I have no idea.

Sun: Stop denying it. It's all true.

Alexa: Like I'd say anything behind your back, cockfuck. I'm not a coward.

Sun: Your words are going to get you killed.

Alexa: You're welcome to try.

The two of them dash at each other and teleport around the estate, clashing with each other. Leah notices the young, platinum blonde-haired girl from before. The girl giggles as she watches all four fights.

Leah: Who are you? Are you lost?

???: You can see me?

Leah: How can I not? Wearing a silver and purple dress is very noticeable if you aren't colorblind or something.

???: You like my dress? You like how the silver and purple fit me?

Leah: Sure? I'm not someone big on colors. You should ask Alexa, she's way more qualified than me.

???: Good to know. Silver and purple are my favorite colors.

??? creates sits on a swing made from silver energy. Leah tilts her head and looks confused.

Leah: Who are you?

???: My name? It's...what is my name?

Leah can sense something weird with this little girl, but she can't put her finger on it.

Leah: You're lying, aren't you?

???: Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not.

??? shrugs her shoulders and giggles. She looks at the four fights.

???: They're all so good at fighting.

Leah still looks confused as she watches the fights with ???. She has no idea if she can beat her because she can sense an unbeatable, unlimited, but extremely stable power, so she decides to stay quiet for now.

Alexa and Sun teleport into the sky. Sun immobilizes Alexa and swings his staff at her. Alexa breaks free and grabs his staff.

Alexa: What's wrong with you?

Sun: I'll make you pay!!

Alexa growls and teleports behind Sun, trying to attack his back, but gets kicked in her leg. Alexa throws Sun's staff and they match each other's punches, so it creates shockwaves. Sun backflips off Alexa, and he plucks one of his hairs and creates a clone of Alexa.

Alexa (o): Are you fucking kidding?

Alexa and the clone start matching each other's attacks. They fight through the sky until Alexa overcomes her clone, only to get hit by a staff. Alexa groans from the pain and turns to see Sun standing with a frown.

Sun: Enough games!

Alexa smirks as they start to get serious. They land on top of the clouds and run at each other.

Beck and Grace are teleporting through multiple dimensions, clashing back and forth. Grace grabs Beck's arm and throws him to the ground. Beck rolls out of the way of one of Grace's punches and quickly stands up. Beck sidesteps one of Grace's kicks and he sweeps her leg. Grace falls to the ground and Beck puts his knee on top of her and goes to stab her in the neck with a dagger, but Grace grabs his wrist and they struggle.

Beck: Succumb to your defeat, Grace. There's nothing wrong with accepting death. Leah would be very happy to have another soul.

Grace soon overpowers Beck and launches the dagger away from them. Beck blocks another punch, but the punch goes through his body. Beck gets kicked extremely hard in his jaw. Grace stands above him with a smile of victory.

Grace: It's over.

Grace teleports away from Beck, but just in time, Beck is able to grab her ankle. Grace appears at the estate with Beck around her ankle. Beck creates a shockwave and it sends Grace back.

Beck: Enough with these games.

Beck creates a ball of dark energy and enhances the power by a million.

Beck: Say goodbye, Universe 500!

Beck throws the ball of dark energy at the estate. He laughs as he waits for it to explode. The ball doesn't explode and he looks confused as to why. The ball gets pushed back, and Beck quickly reacts and pushes back. The strength from the person stopping his ball is extremely strong. Beck let's out yell as he powers up to near full power. The ball gets closer and closer until it explodes in front of Beck's face. His body falls to the ground, creating a medium-sized crater. Heels can be heard walking towards his lifeless body. His soul flies out of his body, but it gets sucked into a container. The camera moves up as the container moves, and Cassidy is standing there holding the container.

Cassidy: I think Leah would like this.

Inside the estate ??? mumbles under her breath. She claps happily to throw Leah off. She claps since one of the fights have ended. Leah looks confused and surprised. Confused on why ??? is so happy, and surprised that Cassidy is getting a gift for her.

Leah: Why are you so happy?

???: I like seeing fights end with death!

Leah becomes more alert as this mysterious platinum blonde-haired girl in a silver and purple dress. Something about this kid still doesn't sit right with her.

Leah: What's your name?

Brooke: My name? It's Brooke!!

Leah looks down at the girl who she now knows as Brooke. She becomes a bit more at ease after finding out her name, but she still has some caution.

Brooke: You're afraid, aren't you?

Leah's eyes widen in surprise. How did she figure that out? Brooke wasn't even looking at her.

Brooke: I can smell it. You hide it terribly.

Leah: What do you want from me?

Brooke: Not from you. You can't give me what I want. Leah Zero, Dragon Goddess of Life and Death. The Yin and Yang. The good and evil. The balance between them. When you were 23 quadrillion years old, you accidentally destroyed Blade's dagger and blamed it on Alexa. It led to Blade and Alexa fighting and almost getting their powers stripped for a couple millennia. Isn't that right, Lee?

Leah's emotionless expression turns into one of fear as she never told anyone that. She starts to become more afraid of Brooke, and unconsciously takes a step back. Her eyes shake with the need of protection. Brooke grins as she has Leah where she wants her.

Brooke: And this isn't the real reality you're seeing.

Brooke snaps her fingers and a red glow covers the estate. Leah drops to her knees as she sees Rita and Lynn Sr's bodies nailed to the wall. Tears drop from her eyes as she looks at their massacred, beaten, and mutilated bodies. Brooke walks behind her and goes to stab her. She gets teleported away. She ends up at House Zero in her full adult form. Her dress changed into high-waisted blue jeans and black shirt.

Brooke: What. The. Fuck?

She looks around, confused on what happened. She hears electricity cackle behind her and sees me floating down behind her. Golden electricity emits from my eyes.

Me: I was told about you. I was warned about you. I didn't know why though. I got those memories at my birthday party. I realized why I wasn't filled with those memories of Thea.

Brooke: So you know who she is, imposter?

Me: Yes. It's all your fault why I'm this monster, and for that...you will pay.

Once my feet hit the floor, golden lightning strikes down in every timeline, realm, dimension, reality, and Outerverse. "Monster" by Skillet starts to play. I get struck with lightning and a certain meteorite appears where I was standing. Brooke's eyes widen in surprise as she hopes this isn't what she thinks it is. The meteorite cracks. A golden glow comes from the crack and the meteorite explodes.

Brooke: No...

She sees someone like me, with eleven strawberry blonde streaks in his hair. He wears the same outfit as he wore in the Interlude chapter.

Brooke: Izaiah Zero...

Me: That's right. The real one as well.

Brooke: It's been a while, darling.

Me: Fuck you.

I dash at her and kick her away from House Zero. I fly after her.

In another Universe, Austin launches swords made of light at Lily Zero. She dodges and sends them back to him. Austin destroys them, and they both stop upon seeing the golden lightning. They look around confused on the lightning. They get forcefully teleported back to Earth.

Austin: What the hell happened?

Lily Zero: Did you teleport us here?!

Austin: Stop assuming things. I would never teleport the both of us.

They see Alexa, Sun, Grace, Cassidy, Annabelle, Johnny, and Leah near them. Everyone looks confused as to why Leah is crying and who could've made her cry.

Alexa: Sis!

Alexa is the first one to make it to Leah and wraps her arms around her. Leah looks at her younger sister and wraps her arms around Alexa too.

Alexa: What's wrong? Who made you cry?

Before Leah can answer she's covered in a group hug. The fear on her face dissipates as she feels more calm. A loud thud can be heard on their left. They turn and see Brooke.

Cassidy: Who are you?

Brooke sits up, and Leah becomes afraid again. I appear with a boom in the air and slam Brooke's head into the ground. Upon seeing me, Cassidy snaps.

Cassidy: What's with you? You decide to dye your hair and wear that tutu for what? Maybe to compensate for your lack of competence.

I growl and look at Cassidy. Cassidy gets sent backwards and then into the sky. I appear above her and kick her into the ground. I rapidly punch her with speed beyond comprehension for anyone besides Brooke and I. I punch her again and this time she bounces of the ground. My right fist gets covered with black energy and I punch her right in the chest. Cassidy disappears. Sun speaks up and walks towards me.

Sun: I don't know who you are, but I do know that I won't sit down while you're being a nuisance.

Me: Aren't you the nuisance, Monkey?

Sun plucks 20 hairs and creates 20 clones of myself. I look at the clones and then I look at Sun with a smug grin. I blow the wind and my clones fall to the ground. Sun looks aghast.

Sun: What?

I extend my hand and take away his ability to clone anything he wants.

Sun: What did you just do to me?!

Me: Goodbye, Monkey.

Sun gets teleported away before something can happen to him. I dodge Brooke's kick and move backwards. We stare at each other. Alexa and Leah look into the sky while everyone else keeps staring at Brooke and I on the ground.

Johnny: What are you guys looking at?

Leah: The fight.

Alexa: It's a bit blurry. We can still make out something's of what's going on.

Grace: What's happening?

Alexa: The woman-

Leah: Brooke.

Alexa: Brooke just fired an energy blast at dad. He blocks it and creates...some kind of-it's blurry now.

Alexa waits until she's able to see the fight again.

Alexa: I think he just destroyed matter and turned it into some kind of blast. Now he's manipulating time by stopping her in a prison.

Grace, Annabelle, Austin, Johnny, and Lily Zero look shocked at what's being described and wonder what the fight looks like.

Alexa: Now they're moving too fast.

The camera moves to Alexa's perspective and now we're able to see what she sees. Brooke is blocking my matter manipulation blast by trapping it within a time jail. Brooke teleports in front of me and uppercut me in the jail, then grabs my leg and throws me to the ground. The camera returns to normal. Grace, Annabelle, and Johnny see that the whole Earth is destroyed. Me and Brooke are floating in the air.

Me: I can't deal with you.

Brooke: Too bad, dear. You'll have to deal with me.

I tilt my head and wave my arm horizontally. Brooke traps my slash wave into another reality. I appear above her and kick her into the ground. I float down. Brooke laughs as she lays on the ground.

Brooke: That was a good one. But you just hurt people, and that's why no one wanted to be around you. Not our children, not me, not even your best friend, Thea.

I growl at her.

Brooke: She didn't even love you. Be glad I took her out.

I grab my head, as I know her words are a lie. She just wants to get under my skin. I sigh and look to my right arm. I teleport Brooke away, so she's on her own journey. I teleport Alexa, Leah, Grace, Annabelle, Austin, Johnny, and Lily Zero too. I teleport to House Zero, to enjoy the silence, but I teleport back to Earth and restore it.

Me: Of course.

I say to nobody. I teleport back to House Zero.

Somewhere else.

Alexa wakes up with the sun shining in her eyes. She shades herself and sits up.

Alexa: What happened?

Brooke: Izaiah Zero scattered us.

Alexa looks at Brooke. Brooke is standing at the edge of a cliff.

Alexa: Wait, aren't you-

Brooke: Brooke Zero. I am the True Dragon Goddess of Everything. Izaiah Zero's ex-wife.

Alexa: You're my dad's former wife?

Brooke: You should know something important, the Izaiah Zero you know and call "dad" is an imposter. The one with the blonde streaks is the real one.

Alexa: What?

Brooke turns around.

Brooke: It's a long story.

She walks up and offers her hand to Alexa. Alexa looks at Brooke's hand, hesitantly she takes it. Alexa gets pulled to her feet, and Brooke leads her somewhere.

Brooke: Hope you're ready for this story.

The camera zooms out, until it moves to a kingdom not far from them. The screen fades to black, and a "Z" appears on the screen.
