Waffle House - Dusty Dunes Desert

Dan, Benjamin, and Jammer all sat in their usual order at the Waffle House in Dusty Dunes. Dan sat looking at his deck of cards, while Jammer leaned over smirking.

Bashin Dan: ….

Jammer: Say Dan, something you uh…wanna talk about?

Bashin Dan: Hmm? I would love to talk about cards.

Jammer: No way bro, I know what’s on your mind. Hope! I heard what you said, but I’m not buying it. It’s really bothering you that she left right?

Bashin Dan: …I meant what I said in that I’m very proud of her…but I do miss her already.

Jammer: One might say this is a lesson is learning to put down the cards and spend more time with the love of your life?

Bashin Dan: …No…that can’t be it.

Jammer: Oh yeah?

Bashin Dan: I mean your girlfriend is over there too, and she left first.

Jammer: *cough* Yeah…yeah that’s true. I got no comeback there.

Benjamin: I mean you guys could see this as a blessing.

Dan and Jammer: HOW?!

Bashin Dan: *cough cough* I mean…in what way my friend?

Benjamin: Well, I mean Lainey is currently breaking bottles over people’s heads, and I had to hear her tell me all about it, because she was my ride.

Jammer: You really really need to learn how to drive buddy.

Benjamin: I can ride a horse and pilot an airship. If they only had the parking for it. My point being though, that if they do something you might not be on board with…at least you don’t have to be there for it? Ya know?

Bashin Dan: I support Hope in whatever she does.

Jammer: She’s gonna cuss Dan…she’s gonna cuss a lot.

Bashin Dan: I support Hope in ALMOST whatever she does.

Jammer: Uh-huh. Say Benji, how hard did Lainey hit Wendy with that bottle? I mean beer bottles don’t break that easily.

Benjamin: I was told…in graphic detail…that hitting Wendy in the skull felt like hitting concrete.

Jammer: I’m thinking metal plate. I mean have you ever see that scar on her forehead? I just- wait…look over there.

Bashin Dan: What’s wrong?

Jammer: Look, Tony Wonder over there.

Benjamin: Tony Wonder! What about him?

Jammer: He didn’t tip. HE DIDN’T TIP!

Bashin Dan: Tip?

Jammer: Yeah, it’s that thing I do for all of you, cause you don’t understand it apparently! Ever notice the money I leave on the table?! That’s for the waitress!

Bashin Dan: OH! I thought you were just leaving money behind.

Benjamin: Indeed, I too wondered if you suffered from brain damage.

Jammer: I don’t LIKE that people have to survive off tips at their job, but it’s a common tradition in Eagleland, and that douche bag didn’t tip! HEY TONY! TIP THE WAITRESS!

Tony Wonder: Huh? AHA! You didn’t see it, but I slipped the tip in her pocket with my sleight of hand!

Waitress: No you didn’t. You complained about your waffle and specifically said you weren’t going to tip me.

Tony Wonder: Uh…hehe…I still don’t wanna.

Jammer: Oh, I know how we’re settling this! Waffle House Fight Club baby! I challenge you!

Tony Wonder: Is-is that so?! You think I’m scared of the world’s worst basketball player!

Jammer: You’re the world’s worst magician, so that makes us even cheap skate!

Tony Wonder: I’ve got the REAL razzle dazzle!

Jammer: Just don’t go crying to El Mago when I spank you in front of all these truck drivers and possible meth addicts. No offense everybody! No offense!



“A Space Love Adventure - Power Love”

Narrator: Last time on Neon Nights!

Tack Angel: Ladies please, I can feed myself!

Makoto Angel: But I cooked for you! I want to see you eat and enjoy it!

Nani Angel: It is my duty and honor to feed you. I will stab Makoto with a fork, and “she” gets the knife.

Yog’tara: Hey! I was just trying to eat some myself!

Makoto Angel: By licking it off his face!?

Tack Angel: AH!

Narrator: And now…the continuation!





"Garth Knight - Breakpoint"

Tommy Dukes: Welcome to the studio in Saturn City! You ready for another one of our Neon Nights?! I’m Tommy Dukes, he’s Apple Kid, and we had yet another Waffle House Fight Club!

Apple Kid: That’s apparently something that’s gonna keep happening? We’ll also see Red Shirt Security hold a try out for would be Red Shirts, a high honor in EBW to be sure. We’ll also see Usagi Tsukino and Ami Mizuno join forces to take on a mystery team, and Geoff Garrett will take on Magnum PT in the main event, with Tack Angel as the Special Referee!

Tommy Dukes: Two of Tack’s favorite wrestlers in action. Can he remain impartial? We asked him about that earlier today.

-

Tack Angel: *picking his nose* Huh?

-

Tommy Dukes: A very conflicted man, with a lot on his plate tonight. Let’s check out that Waffle House footage huh?

EBW: Neon Nights
ENN Studio, Saturn City
ENN

1. Waffle House Fight Club: Jammer vs. Tony Wonder
-Tony threw “magical” pocket sand in Jammer’s face to start the fight, and tossed coffee in his face, but it was lukewarm, and merely washed said sand right out of his face, allowing Jammer the opportunity to batter him all around the restaurant. He tried to hit a Slam Jam off the table, but got his shoe stuck in some syrup. Tony tried to grab a weapon, but some birds flew out of his sleeves and freaked him out. Jammer grabbed up a waffle iron and smacked Tony across the head with it, knocking him to the floor for the count. Jammer reached into Tony’s pocket, and gave the waitress five bucks.
Winner: Jammer via Waffle Iron -> TKO

Tommy Dukes: Jammer with the win via Waffle Iron! Tony Wonder really should have tipped eh?

Apple Kid: I’ve always hated that system. Not because I don’t want to tip, but because they expect you to, and treat you like dirt if you don’t. Like, what if I had just enough to eat?

Tommy Dukes: …..

Apple Kid: I tip! I tip!

Tommy Dukes: Next up, we have the Red Shirt Try Out. Saxon and Novus are going to see if a tag team can measure up and join the few, the proud, the Red Shirts. The first two to try out are….oh…it’s the Black Shirts.

Apple Kid: Well they’re losing. Sorry folks.

2. Red Shirt Try Out: Saxon/Novus vs. Eiji Hino/Horace
-Saxon and Novus still have that 1989 tag team chemistry, and being Red Shirts have only elevated their confidence in the ring. Eiji and Horace were quite the opposite. Eiji is too aloof to care, while Horace was outed as a fake Angel, and have never quite recovered, using zoomer logic that he’s actually the victim somehow. While he was accusing the fans of victim blaming and calling it cringe, Saxon hit him with the Flying Forearm Smash and pinned him for the win.
Winners: Saxon[o]/Novus via Flying Forearm Smash to Horace -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: An obvious win for the Red Shirts there, and the crowd loves it. Everyone loves the Red Shirts. They’re just the best!

Apple Kid: We asked Tack Angel if he ever thought about being a Red Shirt. He had THIS to say!

-

Tack Angel: *scratching his butt* Are you filming me?

-

Apple Kid: He’s definitely thinking about it. Up next, we have Usagi Tsukino and Ami Mizuno taking on a mystery team. Standing by with the Sailor Senshi is their fellow Senshi member, and our broadcast partner Makoto Angel.

Backstage

Makoto Angel: I’m here with Usagi and Ami, two of my very best friends, and I’m really happy to see you, but I have to be quick, because I left Tack alone with Nani and Yog’tara, and my only hope is that they cancel each other out.

Usagi Tsukino: Sounds like you’re having a lot of problems Makoto. That’s what happens when you find a man who won’t put his foot down about the one woman he loves. I mean I know all about that. The moment I started putting on a little weight, or showing signs of aging at all, he was all like “Meatball Head, you need botox, and you need to lose weight so you can fit in your fuku again”. Ha! What a jerk am I right? One of my best friends from school decides she’ll get extensive plastic surgery, and where does he go? Ugh! It’s fine though, cause look at me now! I DO fit in my old school fuku, and I’ve got a man who loves me so much, that he used to be a girl, but became a man for me, and not like a fake stupid way, but in a very real, possibly magic, definitely cosmic way!

Ami Mizuno: Our friend is still going through some stress, but thanks to all of our efforts, she has really turned a corner.

Makoto Angel: That’s right. We need our leader back in the saddle.

Usagi Tsukino: I’m no leader anymore Makoto. I had a destiny to be a Queen, but that destiny is over. I made a choice, and I really hope that I didn't mess things up in the process.

Johnny Starbound: Ha! Look at what we have here. Usagi, you’re looking good for an aging spinster.

Usagi Tsukino: HEY!

Johnny Starbound: I’d take you to the stars if you catch my drift. I wouldn’t take you to Jupiter though, cause Dork Angel can attest you go to Jupiter to get more stupider! Haha!

Makoto Angel: That’s not nearly as clever as you think it is!

Johnny Starbound: And as for that one over there? I’m fairly certain she’s a robot.

Ami Mizuno: *beep*

Usagi Tsukino: She’s a real girl, and you’re a mean bully head!

Makoto Angel: I have to wonder what Tack thinks about all of this!

-

Tack Angel: Ladies, please stop pulling on me!

Yog’tara: I just want to spend a little time with you BY MYSELF!

Nani Angel: I will destroy you.

Yog’tara: Oh sure, you act like you can NOW, but a week ago? You have NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE TO YOU!

Nani Angel: I do not fear you.

Tack Angel: Ladies please! Look on the screen! That’s…Starbound! Dork Angel?! Jupiter stupider?! WHY I OUGHTA!

Tack turned and tried to leave the room, but struck his head on a metal pipe and fell to the ground.

Yog’tara: WHOA! YOU OK?! NEED MY HELP?!

Nani Angel: I will assist him with his possible brain trauma. Stay back or be destroyed.

-

Makoto Angel: Oh no.

3. Women’s Tag: Usagi Tsukino/Ami Mizuno vs. Dentist Brit the Dentist Dentist<SDW>/Butch Manlady<SDW>
-Usagi and Ami were surprised to see Dentist Brit the Dentist Dentist from SDW come out and point down with her fingers and remind people that she’s a dentist, cause that’s her gimmick. She was also wearing a shirt of that time she bled a lot, cause some ginger from Celtland bled once and got over, so she thought it would work too, but it didn't really. Her partner was the controversial Butch Manlady, who shocked the fans, not because of the choice in partner, but because Butch decided not to shave, and had a five o’ clock shadow. The Senshi had to work hard to not get battered by this large and imposing figure, with a frame that couldn’t possibly belong to a woman. Butch Manlady’s adam’s apple wasn’t the only thing protruding, and that lead to a DQ, not from the referee IN the match, who was too busy posing at the hardcam, and calling Butch stunning and brave. No, this came from President Swift himself, who ejected the SDW team, and fired the referee on the spot.
Winners: Usagi Tsukino/Ami Mizuno via DQ

Tommy Dukes: What were they trying to pull there? That was obviously a very large man, who wanted to beat up women. Why would anyone celebrate that? That’s horrible.

Apple Kid: The world has gone mad Tommy. I’m just glad that the ref got fired. She was not paying attention, and the way she reacted to every hit like she was the one getting hit was stupid. She was never the one getting hit. Why would you react to getting hit if you’re not getting hit? Why would you make sure the camera saw you doing that? I’d ask Tack Angel what he thinks about it, but after hitting his head he’d probably say he’s fine with it. Brain damage does that to ya.

Tommy Dukes: Actually, I’m told that Tack Angel is back on his feet, and he’s doing fine. He’ll be out to referee the next match, which is the main event for the night, so let’s TAKE IT TO THE RING!

4. EBW Television Championship: Geoff Garrett(c) vs. Magnum PT Special Referee: Tack Angel
-Main event time, as Tack Angel called the match between Television Champion Geoff Garrett and Magnum PT. A look of disdain was all over his face, probably because he didn’t want either of these men to lose, but he promised to call it down the line. A southern ‘rasslin style match, with lots of walk and brawl, and of course the beloved Jackie Fargo strut. The two men seemed  to be time locked in 1986, which must be a theme for Tack Angel favorites, cause the Red Shirts are a team straight out of 1989 as previously stated. PT was in control and hit the Mustache Ride on Double G, but as he whipped his mullet back, the sweat hit Tack in the face and he freaked out, reaching for a towel just in time to try and make a count, but only got the two. Double G came back strong and hit The Stroke on PT. He rolled him up, as Tack hesitated for a moment before finally counting the 1-2-3. A title defense for Geoff Garrett.
Winner: Geoff Garrett via The Stroke -> Pin -> Title Defense!

Tommy Dukes: That could not have been easy for Tack, but the deed is done and Geoff Garrett is STILL the EBW Television Champion. A great story for this legendary figure, who is getting his due in EBW, and spending time rubbing elbows with greats like former Royal Flush holder Tack Angel here. He’s trying to get Tack to do the strut, but Tack is simply leaving the ring. Guess he’ll see him at Church on Sunday right? Haha!

Apple Kid: Let that be a lesson folks…maybe wear protective goggles if PT is competing. Watch out for that mullet sweat. We’ll see you next time!

Earth-83 - Star Variance Authority

On an Earth that was far ahead in technological advancement, sat a shining beacon to its wonder and majesty. The crystalline Star Variance Authority, the headquarters for all threats to the multiverse, where a familiar figure was housed deep within the building. An older figure, locked in stasis, as two figures stood over him.

Tack Angel-83: My Lady, have your attempts worked yet?

Rosalina: Not yet to my knowledge, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t seen me, they may only think of the warning as a dream.

Tack Angel-83: That’s not encouraging. When this man, the Apple of Enlightenment first appeared on this Earth all those years ago, he gave us the power and technology to combat this threat, should it ever come again. What we lack is a strategy. Any kind of game plan.

Rosalina: I think this is the best chance that we have, reaching out through the Sanctum, to the universe that survived. The one that gave the multiverse a chance to grow again. It has to be the source he once spoke of. The resting place of the fragments, the weapon that could stop the coming calamity.

Tack Angel-83: True, but we don’t know how the enemy means to attack. We know how it escaped, but we don’t know where it went. All we know is that just like before, the stars are going out. Durian Kid, the lead scientist on the project, has a theory, but it’s a crazy one. He believes we’ve already been seeing the effects in our own universe. He believes we have many less stars in the sky than we used to.

Rosalina: How is that possible?

Tack Angel-83: It’s not a linear attack.

Suddenly, a figure burst into the room. A life sized doll man, in quite a panic.

Rosalina: Geno? What is it?

Geno: My Lady, it’s happening!

Rosalina: What?

Geno led Rosalina and Tack-83 outside, where they began to see people and buildings disappearing.

Rosalina: They’re turning to dust!

Tack Angel-83: That would imply something was left. It’s like they’re not even there, or never were. Never were…*sigh* It's time.

Geno: Time for what?

Tack Angel-83: It’s not attacking in a linear sense! Is it looking for something? It can think, it’s not a mindless concept like the original attack in the war the Apple of Enlightenment told us about! We need to get him out of here!

Tack Angel-83 and Rosalina led Geno back inside, and pushed him towards a chamber, as they unhooked the stasis chamber from the wall and wheeled it with him.

Geno: What is happening here?

Tack Angel-83: It’s too late for us Geno. Only you can fix this, and make it right again.

Geno: How?

Tack Angel-83: Get the Apple of Enlightenment to the ones who saved us before. This is the time he warned us about. He planned for this! Look for a young man who he deemed important.

Geno: Tyro?

Rosalina: No, it was someone unknown to us, but he repeated the name many times before stasis. The name is Dan. Find Dan!

Geno: *sigh* I will do my best, for the Star Road, the Star Variance Authority, and the people of Earth-83!

Tack Angel-83: God speed Geno.

Tack pulled the lever and sent Geno and the Apple of Enlightenment into Sanctum space.

Tack Angel-83: *sigh* We just sent them blindly into the wild. We have to HOPE that a device like this was built on the other side.

Rosalina: We have to believe.

Tack Angel-83: This is the end. Any chance I could get that kiss?

Rosalina: I don’t think so.

Tack Angel-83: Still no?!

The two laughed, as reality around them turned to ash and disappeared.

Earth-5 - Crystal Heaven

Gordon Cole and the Blue Rose Task Force got the big tour of Crystal Heaven, including the legendary Food Court.

Tack Angel: So what did you think of that Cherry Pie?

Gordon Cole: MY SOCKS ARE ON FIRE!

Tack Angel: Yeah, that sounds about right. So thanks for coming, and showing me that you can apparently pass between worlds. That’s pretty neat. Also I’m missing some wives? I didn’t notice.

Mr. Face: You…you didn’t notice?

Tack Angel: I have…a lot of them? Plus, I’ve been dealing with this whole bee thing! You don’t know how hard it is to be Tack Angel!

Degrees: Remarkable, it seems all the bad traits of Tack went into this version.

Tack Angel: Hey!

Jeff Andonuts: Barely anyone on Earth-1 remembers this side of Tack. They just remember the wholesome hero we have on our side.

Tack Angel: I’m getting a lot of complaints for the peanut gallery, but you try running an entire world, and suddenly lose the power to change it at will.

?: I know what that’s like.

Tack Angel: Huh? Who is that kid back there? I didn’t see him originally.

Gordon Cole: FORGIVE MY LACK OF MANNERS AND BREACH OF ETIQUETTE! THAT LAD OVER THERE IS NAMED GRIMOIRE! HE….WORKS FOR ME!

Tack Angel: Uh…hey?

Grimoire: …Hello sir.

Tack Angel: Please…King Tack is much less formal, and MORE formal all at the same time right? So what is going on here?

Jeff Andonuts: Tack…it’s back.

Tack Angel: The ribwich? Outstanding.

Jeff Andonuts: No…”V” is back.

Tack Angel: …..

Memories flooded back, of the monstrous creature that tried to consume Earth-1, and all of existence.

Tack Angel: How…how….how do you know that? I mean it was a possibility, but how do you know for sure? I thought it was locked in Magicant!

Mr. Face: From what we understand it was for a time, but then it disappeared right around the time Yaggis and Mach returned from Magicant.  

Tack Angel: So…it piggy backed out on one of them?

Jeff Andonuts: Not likely. The events that have been set in motion began after the incident with the Cloud of Darkness.

Tack Angel: Oh great.

Mr. Face: We found something after the battle you had. A capsule made in some place called New Pork City. We’d never heard of it, but the man inside appeared to be a very old Pokey Minch, identified as Porky Minch by the capsule. The device was created to keep the person inside safe and alive forever. It was spat on to Earth-1 we believe, because the Earth it WAS on was in danger. Then, the resonance points fired up.

Trevor Mach-10: Jeff, you think this has something to do with our efforts?

Jeff Andonuts: Most definitely. While we used those points to tether the worlds together, we conversely created a path back out into the unknown if someone were to open the gate back up.

Trevor Mach-10: That’s what I was afraid of. That’s why at worst, we’re all just being dislocated, because “V” isn’t here, so much as out there, in the reconstituted multiverse.

Tack Angel: That still exists? So there are like infinite copies of my wives…and other women who could BE my wives?

Christina Angel-5: Dad! Come on!

Tack Angel: Just thinking out loud!

Justice Mach-2: Is it the time?

Tack Angel: No one asked you Justice! Defiler of my daughter!

Trevor Mach-10: Hey, these two are good kids. Back off please.

Tack Angel: I will…but not because I’m intimidated by the “best version” of Trevor Mach or anything. Obviously, this is a job for Star Prince and *sigh* the Defenders of Everything, considering the Multiverse constitutes everything, but what do we do? If the plan to trap it didn’t work, what could we possibly do?

?: WE KILL IT!

Tack Angel: Nani? Oh right…she’s not here.

They all turned to see Grimoire looking in his book.

Gordon Cole: SOMETHING CHANGE SON?

Tack Angel: He’s your son?

Degrees: No, he’s yo- I’ll shut up now.

Grimoire: Ages tell the stories of the worlds contained within. In the Sanctum, I have had access to some of these books, and they are all ending the same way. The pages are blacked out. I made a mistake though, I was only looking at the last pages. As I’ve looked again, I see that the books are blacked out at the beginning too. The only way to save these Ages, and the people within…is to kill this thing, whatever it may be.

Tack Angel: Great….how?

Grimoire: …

Tack Angel: We’re gonna workshop that? Let’s workshop that?

Grimoire: However, I just saw something of interest in the Age of Earth-1. A name written over and over again within the pages. “Dan”.

Tack Angel: Oh goodie…the card kid.  

Earth-1 - Saturn Cafe

Bashin Dan: ACHOO!

The Mach Farm

Trevor bolted awake once again, after having another bad dream. Flashes of long forgotten memory, and of course the searing pain of that sword driven through his chest. The phantom pains never went away. He clutched the cross around his neck and said a prayer, slowing his breathing, keeping the flames from building up again. He found that Yog’tara had reawakened the fire, but was now going to be unable to take it away again.

Trevor Mach: Oops. I really should’ve thought that prank through…but it was too funny to pass up. Right Tali?

Tali Mach: Zzzzz…..Zzzzz….

Trevor Mach: Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. *sigh*

Suddenly, Trevor heard crying from the other room. He quickly left bed and walked across the hallway, motioning to Robo that he had it under control as he passed. Truth was crying and reaching out as Trevor picked her up trying to quiet her down.

Trevor Mach: Aw…shhh…it’s ok honey. I’m right here. I’m right here. Did you have a bad dream? I did too. You had a sympathy dream for your Daddy? Poor baby. Shhhh. ♫ Come stop your crying, it will be alright. Just take my hand, and hold it tight. I will protect you, from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry. For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us, can't be broken. I will be here don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on, now and forever more. ♫

Truth quickly drifted back to sleep, as Trevor carried her into the room to lay in between himself and Tali, hoping not to wake her up. However…

Tali Mach: She’s never gonna get used to sleeping alone if you bring her in here every time she’s scared.

Trevor Mach: Oops, ya caught me. Yeah, that’s probably true, but I don’t mind right now. Besides, she makes me feel better too.

Tali Mach: *sigh* You were singing Phil Collins to her again weren’t you?

Trevor Mach: …Tarzan soundtrack.

Tali Mach: Why am I not surprised? Ya know, if I’m gonna be stuck at home more often now that I’m “fired”, then the least you can do is learn some new music?

Trevor Mach: No can do Hot Wheels, but you know what I WILL do? Kiss your forehead and flip your pillow for you.

Tali Mach: I can do that myself! However…that feels much better…thanks.

The Angel Ranch

Tack was still panicking as Eris and Yog’tara argued back and forth in front of him.

Eris: You became a HUMAN! YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!

Yog’tara: What do you care!? I did it because I LOVE Tack, and I’m going to be his one and only wife here! You stick with that self absorbed loser on Earth-5!

Eris: You idiot! THAT IS TACK! Do you realize what is even happening out there?

Yog’tara: No and neither do you! Admit it!

Eris: I know that it’s a HUGE problem!

Yog’tara: So? What are you going to do about it? Nothing! You can’t do anything about it, so I’m going to spend my time embracing what makes me happy, and that is Tack! Tack is happy about my decision! Right Tack?

Tack Angel: Um…I’m gonna pass ou-

Tack started to buckle as Makoto and Nani both went to try and catch him. They bumped into each other instead and Tack hit the ground hard.

Tack Angel: OOF!

Eris: Unbelievable! Just remember this is permanent! You can’t become an Infernal again!

Yog’tara: I figured you’d be happy! One less demon for the would be “masters” of the world!

Eris: Normally you’d be right, you actually played ball when the world was in danger, and how dare you insult us! We’re not “masters”, we’re protectors!

Yog’tara: Oh yeah, some protectors. You’re vague and cryptic, and then you make mere mortals do your dirty work. You all should really stop trying to play God. You’re bad at it, and the job is already taken!

Eris: Grrr! You’re impossible! Fine! Nothing I can do about it now! You want to be a powerless idiot, then so be it!

Yog’tara: Oh, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. Remember, the Celestials that became human do too. Trevor and w00t BOTH-

Eris: Yeah whatever! I’m out of here!

Yog’tara: See how she treats her own husband?

Eris: The Tack of Earth-5 needs to be watched! He’s the one with the insatiable appetite, and yet you picked this one. How unlike you. Just…be careful. We set this whole thing up to give Tack a chance at innocence again, and now the three of you run the risk of creating another mad emperor!

Makoto Angel: To be fair…I uh…I’m married to this Tack, and uh…I called dibs. None of you are respecting the dibs.

Eris: *sigh*

Eris snapped her fingers and disappeared.

Yog’tara: Good riddance ya banshee! Now that she’s away, I can play.

Makoto Angel: What are you doing to his pants?

Nani Angel: Step away now.

Yog’tara: I just wanted to see if he was still packing the “Light Rod” Hahahaha!

Makoto Angel: My Tack is a pure boy!

Nani Angel: We will not allow corruption to influence him again.

Yog’tara: Fine! Fine! Maybe you’re right. It’s more fun when he’s panicking anyways. Hehe, he’s such a cutie.

Tack Angel: Huh? Wha? What happened? Did Eris come here?

Yog’tara: What? No! What are you talking about? You were dreami-

Nani Angel: Yes, she was here to admonish Yog’tara.

Yog’tara: SNITCH! Ooo, look at me, I use big words like “admonish”.

Tack Angel: She’s gone?

Makoto Angel: Yes, she was just worried about Yog’tara becoming human and throwing off the balance or whatever.

Tack Angel: It certainly does. Look ladies, I understand that things got out of hand, and I was the one behind it, but that part of me is gone. It’s out there somewhere. I’m just trying to live my life, and be a great wrestler. Also, I get to raise Honoka again. Did we ask Eris why Honoka was here by chance?

Makoto Angel: Uh…

Nani Angel: ….

Yog’tara: It did not come up.

Tack Angel: Great. Well, I just want to try and calm down after that startling event alright? No more surprises today. I’m gonna open the door and get some fresh air.

As Tack opened the door, he took in a deep breath and smiled, right before a huge blast of wind knocked him backwards into a wall.

Wayne Angel: *in the wall* Oh gee, are you alright son?

Tack Angel: OW! Not now Dad!

Tack shot up and ran outside, where a large spacecraft was landing outside of his house. A familiar face stepped out of the cloaking ship.

?: Hold it right there! Hands up!

Tack Angel: Huh?




Patty Wagon: Officer Patricia Wagon of the Galactic Patrol! In the name of the law, I order you to stop!

Tack Angel: Ah! Stop what? Ah! What did I do? Ah!

Patty Wagon got right into Tack’s face.

Patty Wagon: But in the name of love…

Patty planted a kiss on Tack, that shot blood out of his nose, as he fell backwards again.

Patty Wagon: Whoa! What happened? Ladies? Why are you looking at me like that?

Trevor Mach: *in the far distance* SHUT UP OVER THERE! WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP!

Earth-5 - Crystal Heaven

A busty, red headed news anchor covered the events of the day.

Busty Anchor: Hello everyone, it’s Chesty Titopolis with all the news you need to hear in the Crystal Kingdom! It was another day of rousing victory for the forces of good, as Star Prince and The Defenders of Everything forced Baron Von Bee back from Crystal Eagleland once and for all. The Baron, vowing revenge, had THIS to say.

-

Baron Von Bee: CURSE YOU STAR PRINCE! THIS IS FAR FROM OVER! YOU WILL FEEL THE STING OF BARON VON BEE FOR STEALING MY WI-

-

Chesty Titopolis: Huh, the feed cut out. We had the whole speech right? Let’s figure that one out. That leaves Baron Von Bee finally routed in all the northern countries, but his main hive is still entrenched in Crystal Deep Darkness. A blockade is being formed by-

Tack turned off the television, and wiped his brow.

Tack Angel: THAT was a close one. Also, I need to get better with my naming schemes. Calling everything “Crystal” this and that isn’t doing it for me.

Trevor Mach-10: What are you hiding?

Tack Angel: HUH?! Trevor? When did you get here? What’s going on?

Trevor Mach-10: I’ve BEEN here. You started the conversation by saying “Let’s check the news, and see how our progress has been going”.

Tack Angel: Oh right.

Trevor Mach-10: …I have no problem helping people in need. That’s my job. However, I feel like I don’t have all the information about this bee invasion. I noticed…you have a bee wife.

Tack Angel: …Yeah?

Trevor Mach-10: And I’ve heard the Baron saying he’s trying to get someone back.

Tack Angel: ….Yeah?

Trevor Mach-10: Did you steal away Baron Von Bee’s wife?

Tack Angel: ….No?

Trevor Mach-10: Oh! Ok then, I’m sorry I doubted you.

Tack Angel: Huh? What if I’m lying?

Trevor Mach-10: The only Tack who ever lied to me was Darkness Angel, and that’s not you.

Tack Angel: HAHAHAHA….funny you say that though because-

Pirate Bill: YARR!

Tack Angel: BILL!

Geoff Garrett: King Slappy!

Tack Angel: Geoff.

Pirate Bill: One of those visitors from Earth-1 has returned.

Tack Angel: Jeff?

Pirate Bill: …The quiet one.

Tack Angel: Hmm.

In the other room, Grimoire sat on a couch as Gibson Rickenbacker lit up a cigarette, and produced an object from his jacket.

Gibson Rickenbacker: Kid, I got a funny feeling about dis place, ya know what I’m saying?

Grimoire: It’s definitely different…like a book filled with pages from different stories.

Gibson Rickenbacker: Huh? I’m talking sleazy kid! Watch, I got dis ting right here, dat’s called a black light. Now watch what happens when I turn off dis light switch ova here.

The room was dark, but was illuminated by the black light, to reveal room covered in white splotches.

Grimoire: Oh my….

Gibson Rickenbacker: Kid, I don’t tink ya wanna be sittin’ dere!

Grimoire: AH!

Tack Angel: Hey, that’s how I scream in panic! What’s going on in he-AH!

Gibson Rickenbacker: Haha, you’re a party man ain’tcha Tack man! Here I was tinkin’ dat Cat Man was the insatiable beast ya know what I’m sayin?

Later, Tack and Grimoire walked onto a balcony, over looking the World Famous Crystal Heaven Food Court.

Grimoire: Wow, this place…you really did make it happen.

Tack Angel: Well I try. It’s hard being Tack Angel ya know. What did you say your name was again?

Grimoire: Grimoire uh…sir.

Tack Angel: Remember, King Tack or Tack O’ Dark, will suffice. Meh, you can just call me Tack. Something about you…feels familiar. Have we met before?

Grimoire: …Briefly I guess you could say.

Tack Angel: Hmm. It’s hard to keep track anymore. It’s like very little makes sense.

Grimoire: That’s part of why I’m here. The Blue Rose Task Force is trying to locate the cause of the problem, “Entity V”, but you faced it head on before. I wanted to know what that was like.

Tack Angel: No offense, but can’t you see these things with your books?

Grimoire: They are not working like they should anymore. It’s not like they’re being destroyed, but more like they were never there to begin with. I don’t understand, and I was wondering if you had any insight.

Tack Angel: I…I don’t really know what to say. I’ve been so busy trying to get my ducks in a row, that it’s been hard to focus on anything else. I was once able to manipulate this place to my will. It was like a real life game of Minecraft. The cast offs all came here. The ones that survived “V”. You want to know about “V”, then just look at every single person here. They can all tell you a story about what happened. The stars went out, and their realities were consumed. They watched it happen.

Grimoire: Interesting. So they could see it happening in real time. That’s different to what is happening now.

Tack Angel: It is? How so?

Grimoire: I wish I could show you…but…wait I can! I have a few Ages left that I can show you. How are you at solving puzzles?

Tack Angel: …I can unhook a bra with one hand?

Grimoire: …We’d better not go in. Just take a look with me.

Tack Angel: Just look at the book? All I see is…oh.

Earth-199

A desolate world that appeared to be mostly desert. The Age panned to a city, the only remaining city called Paradigm City. A retro-futuristic culture of old architecture mixed with encompassing domes. In the middle of the city, a police blockade tried in vain to route a giant mechanized creature, as it tore through cars and buildings. The grizzled police chief tried to talk the pilot down.

Chief Swift: Give it up Trevor Rosewater! We know you’re the one piloting Big Mach!

Trevor Rosewater: OH YOU THINK?! OF COURSE I AM! HAHA! I’M GOING TO DESTROY THIS CITY AND REBUILD IT MYSELF WHEN I BECOME A GOD! THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT MATTER ARE THOSE WHO LIVE WITH ME IN THE DOMES! YOU PEASANTS HAVE FESTERED IN MY CITY FOR FAR TOO LONG! I WILL CLEANSE IT OF YOUR ILK ONCE AND FOR ALL! BOOSH!

Big Mach punched Chief Swift’s car into a building, causing a massive explosion. A few blocks away, a black limo was quickly approaching the situation, as a man in the back, wearing a black suit and gloves looked out of the window.

Tackathan Smith: My name is Tackathan Smith. My other name is Negotiator. A much needed job, which I perform here in Paradigm City, a city of amnesia. Along with my android companion Talia Wainwright, I-

Talia Wainwright: To whom are you speaking?

Tackathan Smith: Huh?

Talia Wainwright: You were narrating, and my query pertains to whom you were narrating to.

Tackathan Smith: Oh uh…no one in particular? I just like narrating?

Talia Wainwright: …

Tackathan Smith: Ya know, this could be the job that kills me, and I hear androids have amazing …”stamina”?

Talia Wainwright: Tackathan Smith, you louse.

Tackathan Smith: Yeah yeah you say that a lot. Can’t blame a guy for trying. We’re here.

Tackathan Smith stepped out of his limo and grabbed the loud speaker from Chief Swift.

Tackathan Smith: Trevor Rosewater! I don’t suppose we could negotiate the terms of your surrender could we?

Trevor Rosewater: Tackathan Smith? You’re nothing but a tomato! Do not DARE to stand in my way! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!

Tackathan Smith: *sigh* I was afraid you’d say that.

Tackathan pulled the sleeved up on his arm, revealing a peculiar watch. He pushed a button and spoke into it.

Tackathan Smith: BIG T, IT’S SHOWTIME!

A giant robot, oddly shaped and resembling Tackathan began to stomp its way towards them. Gyros whirled, and cogs turned, as steam rose from the mech, seemingly from its backside, which made the police force laugh as it resembled a fart.

Tackathan Smith: HEY! KNOCK IT OFF! IT RUNS ON STEAM….AND JUSTICE!

Tackathan entered Big T, prepared to fight off the oncoming Big Mach.

Tackathan Smith: CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD! YE! ARE! GUI- Wait, what is that?

Suddenly, the city, and all of its occupants began to disappear.

Tackathan Smith: Oh no….did Angel do it agai-

Everything that was contained within the Age disappeared, and all of the pages inside went black.

Earth-5 - Crystal Heaven

Tack sat back and put his face in his hands, taking in a deep breath.

Tack Angel: Wow…why would I make a giant mech look like me?

Grimoire: That was real what you just saw. That was a whole reality being erased. I didn’t know why it was happening at first, and if we would have flipped through the pages, you would have seen it happening at the beginning for the book, and working its way until the end.

Tack Angel: I know what that sounds like to me, but I had to sign a treaty with the Galaxy Police to never try it or mention it again.

Grimoire: I think in this case, the circumstances require it. We could use any information you have.

Tack Angel: What do you know…about time travel?

Apple Core

Jeff Andonuts, Mr. Face, and Gordon Cole sat at a computer console as they listened in on the conversation.

Gordon Cole: GOOD WORK ON THE DEVICE! I WISH MY HEARING AID HAD THAT KIND OF RANGE!

Jeff Andonuts: I was using that technology that we’ve been using to travel around. It was all designed in advance, seemingly for this very purpose.

Gordon Cole: THEN WE HAVE A NEW LEAD TO CONSIDER! MEANWHILE, HOW GOES PLAN DAN?

Mr. Face: We told Cade as much as he needed to know, and then “sent” him on his way like you asked.

Gordon Cole: GOOD MAN! THE KID HAS HIS HEART IN THE RIGHT PLACE! HE’S GONNA BE AN ASSET, BUT UNTIL HE LEARNS TO TRUST US, WE HAVE TO LEAD HIM WITH OTHER METHODS!

Jeff Andonuts: I think he’s just glad to be out of here, because honestly, I don’t know how closely he wants to work with his…”Dad”.

In the other room, Dr. Yaggis was analyzing the black pages of one of Grimoire’s Ages. A voice suddenly began to echo out of a book.

?: NO! NONONO! NOT AGAIN!

Dr. Yaggis: Huh?

As Yaggis looked around for the source of the screaming, a dark hand seemed to reach out from the book, and Yaggis’ hand subconsciously reached for it, but before they could come into contact, a force burst from the Age, and a man in a tattered red robe appeared, with a book in his hand.

Dr. Yaggis: My word! Who are you?!

?: My name is Saavedro, and I will NOT LOSE MY FAMILY AGAIN!

Dr. Yaggis: …

Saturn Cafe

Bashin Dan was looking down into his coffee, when two people he was not expecting to see, sat down on the other side of him.

Bashin Dan: Umm…hey Ninten? Are you a ventriloquist now?

Ninten: Huh? Oh, that’s Geno.

Geno: Salutations.

Bashin Dan: That’s incredible! You really threw your voice there. How did you get the mouth to move?

Geno: I am not a puppet…I mean I technically am, but I am not being voiced by Ninten.

Ninten: This is Geno, he’s a veteran wrestler and-

Bashin Dan: He wants to play card games?

Ninten: Not exactly. He wanted to talk to you about the dreams you’ve been having.

Bashin Dan: Vape was the one having those dreams Ninten.

Ninten: You are too. Ana told me.

Bashin Dan: Ana?

Ninten: She can’t use her powers anymore, but before they faded, she was having visions, and hearing voices. She saw you, and heard your name repeated over and over.

Bashin Dan: …Yikes. I didn’t mean to be in your wife’s head and-

Ninten: Don’t worry about it. It’s weird the way you framed it…but don’t worry…yeah don’t worry about it.

Geno: I originally came back to this world to seek out the “protagonist” Ness.

Ninten: Why not me you might wonder? I think that’s a great question myself, but it’s cool. I’m used to it. This is what started my whole beef with Lucas you know?

Geno: He’s retired as it turns out…he’s a lumberjack…big beard…wasn’t expecting that. He said that he and Paula stopped feeling the power recently as well. You’d figure that might bother him, but it didn’t. He seemed way too happy with his son, and I realized that he had passed that torch on, but now we need a hero, because something horrible is coming.

Bashin Dan: So I’ve heard, but I’m not the one you should be talking to. I’m-

Geno: The heart of the cards.

Bashin Dan: Hmmm?

Geno: You’re the one who keeps coming up. Your name is the one The Apple of Enlightenment spoke of. “Find Dan” I was told. I thought Ness had the answers but-

Ninten: I mean you could’ve asked me Geno. I know, last time you were here Ness was still the poster boy, BUT I literally work with this guy. I mean come on!

Geno: It was a fruitful conversation. I did most of the talking as you would expect, but Ness gave me something to give to you Dan. He said the kid with all the guts…could use a little more.

Geno pulled out the legendary Gutsy Bat, and handed it to Dan.

Bashin Dan: …..

Smalltown Church - Smalltown

Trevor was sitting in the back, working on the sound system, as the worship team sang and welcomed the parishioners into the Church.

Brother Tiburon: Looks like it’s going to be a big turn out today.

Trevor Mach: Fantastic. If we blow out any ear drums, make sure you take the fall.

Brother Tiburon: You’re doing great. The help is appreciated.

Trevor Mach: Called to serve Padr- Brother Tiburon. Called to serve.

Brother Tiburon: Absolutely.

Robo wheeled a disgruntled Tali Mach into the back of the Church while carrying Truth and Justice. Trevor grinned and waved, while Tali waved…him off.

Brother Tiburon: Uh oh…she doesn’t look happy.

Trevor Mach: Well see, when I said I was going to drag her to Church, I meant I was gonna make ROBO do it. He don’t answer to her anymore. I have no idea why.

Brother Tiburon: Could it be that he deems you the responsible one, looking out for the best interests of the family?

Trevor Mach: No…no that doesn’t sound right.

Brother Tiburon: Oh.

As the room filled, Pastor Garrett came up to speak. Tack Angel quickly excused himself from the room.

Pastor Garrett: Can you feel it? We’re feeling it this Wednesday aren’t we? Jesus is in this room. He’s our best friend, and a partner in the fox holes. He’s also our King. Don’t forget to crown Jesus in your life, and you’ll get that supernatural swagger of the Holy Spirit dwelling within you fine people haha! This is a great turn out, and we’re blessed to have the Church right here in the heart of Eagleland, and a lot of this has to do with the team behind it. Some of them you don’t know yet, but some you do, like our own Trevor Mach. It was thanks to him that the land and the building were saved from more nefarious purposes, and now we’re able to not just use this building, but build upon it, and make it into a multipurpose House of the Lord! Can I get an Amen on that? Why don’t we bring him out here right now! I bet he’s got something all planned out! A promo if you will yeah?

Trevor Mach: No…I do not.

Brother Tiburon: Are you flop sweating?! Man, that was fast. You always know what to say, and if you don’t you make it up.

Trevor Mach: Is that a nice way of saying I run my mouth?

Brother Tiburon: Your audience awaits.

Trevor Mach: You didn’t deny it!

Brother Tiburon: *shrugs*

Trevor Mach: Oh..uh…hey everyone. Why AM I sweating so much? I’ve been up in front of people for nearly twenty years now. Wow, it’s been a long time when you put it that way. This is a little different though. This is me with the ego and bravado stripped away. For a guy like me to bow my head and be humble, it takes a big God to do that, and we’ve got the BIGGEST. I’m glad we’re all enjoying the Church together. Originally, it was a different kind of Church, and my reasons for bringing it here were a little selfish. I wanted something I was familiar with to be right down the road. Now, we’re jumping into brand new territory, and it’s something I’m committed to. My wife losing the use of her legs was a gut punch, but it wasn’t the only catalyst for all of this for me. When I realized that the God of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Esther, and Mary was the same God in my corner, that he was the God of me, and he deserved to be celebrated and appreciated for being the best tag partner anyone could ever have, that was when it all fell into place. I’m here because my- well….let me put it into wrestling terms. Do any of you know what Strong Style is? It’s a term to describe real hard hitting wrestling. No messing around. No flips or thigh slaps. It’s not paying lip service to wrestling. It’s the hard hitting sh- stuff. It’s the hard hitting stuff. I want to not just be in the Church, but to work in the Church, and do many works in the Church. I KNOW that salvation comes through faith alone, but we shouldn’t just do the work because we think it’s gonna get us a seat at the table. We do the work because we want to. We want to have a Strong Style Spirit, and change the world with our faith. Make every hit land, and make them count. That’s why we’re here right?

Pastor Garrett: Well said Trevor! Well said!

As Trevor smiled and nodded to the crowd, he began to walk off the stage. That’s when he noticed Bashin Dan had come into the Church and sat in the back near a grumbling Tali. He noticed he looked troubled. After the service Dan met up with Trevor outside.

Trevor Mach: Had a feeling you came to speak with me. I DO have a phone ya know.

Bashin Dan: Yeah, but I needed to be in person for this.

Trevor Mach: Is this about asking about my blessing to marry my daughter? We already passed that moment dude. We’re there man, you shot your shot.

Bashin Dan: *blush* I should’ve asked you in advance.

Trevor Mach: Nah. That’s old hat man. She’s a grown woman, with her mother’s will power. CASE IN POINT…the move to MCW.

Bashin Dan: Does it bother you?

Trevor Mach: No, not really. She needed a change of scenery. If I had a nickel for everytime I tried to shake things up with side promotions and belts, I wouldn’t have to work anymore. I was always doing that to shake up EBW though. I just wanted to make it better. Hope is outside of the sphere as it were. She’s gonna need our support and prayers my man.

Bashin Dan: Right.

Trevor Mach: That’s not why you’re here though.

Bashin Dan: You’re right. It’s about…the issue…the-

Trevor Mach: They came to you huh?

Bashin Dan: You know?

Trevor Mach: It’s a tingle I get, in the back sides of my head. I don’t know wh- well I kind of know why, but I didn’t ask for it. Someone came to speak to you.

Bashin Dan: Geno.

Trevor Mach: Geno?! Love that guy! He needs to be in more things! How is he? Where WAS he? I hadn’t seen him in ages and-

Geno: He said his Earth is gone.

Trevor Mach: Wh-what?

Geno: The Earth…where he came from…it’s gone. He showed up here with the only other survivor. A man in stasis named the Apple of Enlightenment.

Trevor grabbed at his chest, as flashes of the past played in his head.

Bashin Dan: Trevor?

Trevor Mach: …We have kept you…out of the loop haven’t we? You know the drill by now, you have to. You’re not as oblivious as Tack.

Bashin Dan: Thanks?

Trevor Mach: Every now and then…things get weird around here.

Bashin Dan: You’re telling me.

Trevor Mach: But the worst of it…was “Entity V”...do you remember it? The tentacles from the sky?

Bashin Dan: How could I forget?

Trevor Mach: 99% of people did. You weren’t even supposed to remember Tack o’ Dark, but I bet you do.

Bashin Dan: Yeah…I was there for that one.

Trevor Mach: Ana was erasing minds. She’d been doing it retroactively…which explained how Jeff and Degrees could never figure out WHY people kept forgetting. She can’t do that anymore.

Bashin Dan: Ness lost his powers….Paula too.

Trevor Mach: …And yet I still have that burning feeling.

Bashin Dan: The what?

Trevor Mach: Very long story Dan. I’m not keeping it from you, I’m being serious. It’s complicated, and I don’t think I understand it sometimes, and at some point I lost the thread. I basically fought that thing twice before. I think it’s coming back.

Bashin Dan: Geno said…it was different this time. It didn’t consume the world, but more like the world disappeared, and just…BECAME….”V”.

Trevor Mach: …That’s…uh…terrifying. Just being honest.

Bashin Dan: He said he needed heroes to step up when the time came. He gave me something…but…I’m not sure it’s meant for me. It’s meant for heroes.

Trevor Mach: You don’t think you’re a hero?

Bashin Dan: I don’t think I have the ego for it.

Trevor Mach: Not about ego kid. It’s more of a declaration that you’re gonna do what’s right, and put others before yourself. The Good Book HIGHLY recommends it in fact. “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13 The man who said that? Biggest hero of them all. You’re a hero Dan, if you weren’t, I’d have battered you for getting involved with Hope.

Bashin Dan: I’ve just never been that kind of hero. When I’ve picked up a sword before, it didn’t….feel right. I did my best work…on the battlefield of Battle Spirits…or in the ring. I helped Cade regain his senses with words and actions that didn’t involve wrapping this around his head.

Trevor Mach: The Gutsy Bat? Wow, Ness gave you that? He wouldn’t even let me touch it.

Bashin Dan: Well…I think you should have it.

Trevor Mach: What?

Bashin Dan: This has always been more up your alley.

Trevor Mach: Not by choice. I almost died before. I might as well have. Not something to take lightly.

Bashin Dan: But something you’ll take action when the time comes.

Trevor Mach: Of course I will, and I expect you to do the same. I’ll tell you what, I’m gonna hold onto this bat for you, until you’re ready to hold it.

Bashin Dan: Thank you.

Trevor Mach: Relax kid, maybe someone else will figure it out this time. Anyone ask Rama Raju if he’s got any ideas? He’s obviously got the whole wrestling thing down.

Bashin Dan: No kidding.

Trevor Mach: I got a me out there…from Earth-10 I think. You’ve met him. He’s uh…well he’s got his act together. I bet he’s got this.

Earth-10

In the shining city of Neo Saturn, the sun was shining, the air was fresh, and not a cloud was in the sky. The people walked the streets in happiness, while others drove the clean streets with clean turbine powered cars. In the Hall of SCIENCE! Jeff Andonuts-10 and Goji Kid were in a panic, as a portal opened up behind them, startling them.

Jeff Andonuts-10: What is that?!

Goji Kid: You mean you didn’t start the portal?!

Jeff Andonuts-10: No! We didn’t know if it was ready!

Aly Smash-3: I started it boys.

Goji Kid: WHY?!

Aly Smash-3: I miss my family for one, and time is starting to run out!

Suddenly, three figures stepped out of the portal and appeared on Earth-10.

Tack Angel: WHOA! WHO PUSHED ME! I SAID I NEEDED TO STAY ON MY EARTH!

Gibson Rickenbacker: You needa relax Tack Man. If I’m gonna go planet hopping, I needa guy dat reminds me of old Whiskers McGee back home!

Tack Angel: *sigh* Where even are we? I mean the portal just opened up and-

Trevor Mach-10: I’m home.

Aly Smash-3 ran up and kissed Trevor-10 deeply. Tack tried to get a look at her features, but quickly stopped when he was almost caught.

Aly Smash-3: I was hoping you’d get the idea.

Trevor Mach-10: A portal opening up right in front of me. How could I not step into it? An adventure to embark on, or someone needing my help. That’s what I do.

Aly Smash-3: You’re not kidding, but why not warn me next time?

Trevor Mach-10: My movement to Earth-5 was out of my control.

Jeff Andonuts-10: EARTH-5?! THE HELL PLANET?!

Tack Angel: Hehe, it’s a Jeff. No no, the planet is “mostly” peaceful now…it just has a bee problem.

Goji Kid: Those pillars had a part to play with the transport we assume.

Trevor Mach-10: You know anything about them?

Jeff Andonuts-10: Uh…about as much as we could before BIGGER…MUCH BIGGER problems occurred that-

Trevor Mach-10: Focus. Deep breathing Jeff.

Tack Angel: Does he need an inhaler?

Trevor Mach-10: No asthma here.

Tack Angel: Of course.

Jeff Andonuts-10: The pillars are the same spots where the Resonance Points were set up. Those devices that were used to spare planets and bring them to Magicant. They were always there. They were just made slightly visible when something passed THROUGH them. Namely…”Entity V”.

Tack Angel: What?! Wait no…I saw that thing destroyed once and for all in 1992!

Goji Kid: Possibly a part of it.

Trevor Mach-10: The blasted thing gained sentience when it entered Darkness Angel. Maybe it’s been formulating a plan of escape this whole time.

Tack Angel: But what does that have to do with what happened in 199-

Aly Smash-3: Honey? Tack? Uh…man who smells of booze and cigarettes?

Gibson Rickenbacker: I DO?!

Aly Smash-3: You need to see something before we go any further.

Jeff Andonuts-10: Using the technology from that event, we managed to create a device to shield Earth-10 to keep it cloaked from the other Earths. The survivors of the previous multiverse all rotate around the same sun right? We didn’t want to interfere or panic the others. It kept out several things, like the harmful effects of the sun for example.

Tack Angel: Oh this place is just PERFECT! Ugh.

Jeff Andonuts-10: We’re lucky the shield was up, because if you look outside.

Trevor Mach-10: It’s…a beautiful day?

Jeff Andonuts-10: You’ll see that the sky is not real. It’s a screen. It’s simulating the day and night cycle. There is NOTHING beyond that screen.

Trevor Mach-10: What? What do you mean?

Goji Kid: Nothing exists out there. Nothing at all.

Tack Angel: That’s impossible! That would mean that “Entity V” struck, but I know for a fact that Earth-5 and Earth-1 are perfectly fine. In fact, hang on. I can feel the other me on Earth-1. He’s fine.

Jeff Andonuts-10: For all intents and purposes, either Earth-10 is all that is left, or Earth-10 no longer exists.

Gibson Rickenbacker: …So what do ya tink would happen if I shoot up at dat shield den? What? What did I say?
