Earth-50
A barren wasteland lay before the mighty, dark, and brazen warrior. Dressed in the skins and scales of his kill, the barbarian prepared to depart through the wasteland in search of new adventure. He was no alone in his quest. He was joined by a wizard and a female thief.
Swift-50: There. That is where we go next.
w00t-50: It seems much too treacherous.
Swift-50: You magic will protect you while I chop the sandworms to bits.
w00t-50: I was talking about all the heat. I could cast cold magic on myself, but I only have so much mana to use.
Swift-50: I care little for your comfort, only the search for the next kill. We go forward!
Tali-50: Yeah w00t, stop complaining. There is bound to be loot all over the next horizon. Lost treasure for those bold enough to find it.
w00t-50: Well, I do enjoy treasure.
Swift-50: It's settled then. We depart Symphonia for-
The trio of adventurers were knocked to the ground, as a hole in reality blew open above their heads. The shadow reapers poured out in mass, and began to swarm.
w00t-50: My word! What on Earth are those?!
Swift-50: Heh, my next opponents. Face me shadow creatures!
Tali-50: They have us outnumbered you know. Like a million to three.
Swift-50: There are plenty for all of us then.
Behind the trio, a portal opened up, with Benjamin, Bartz, Lenna, Galuf, Krile, and Faris Angel appearing.
Swift-50: More opponents!
Bartz: No, more distractions actually. *sigh* Glad Boko's not here for this.
Galuf: I was not resurrected just to die again boy, so buck up!
Bartz: Yeah, how DID you come back?
Galuf: Questions for another time!
Benjamin: Warriors of Light, you know what to do! Place the beacons, hope the other four teams do the same, and hope this plan works! It's a lot of hoping I know. I'm bad at this.
Swift-50: You wish to join us? A raid it is then!
Benjamin: Yeah, apparently it's a raid.
Earth-21
?: The year is 20XX. A time of peace and prosperity brought to an end by the arrival of the Demon General Darkdeath Evilman, and his henchmen of the Nether Organization. It has become a time of fear and lawlessness. But, I....I will bring justice to my fair city NAY THE WORLD! I am the hero...the main character...and this is my story
A fish monster was attacking a major city, with the police unable to do anything to stop him.
?: HAHA! My name is Manley Fish, and as soon as I find a water source, I'm going to take a break for a few minutes, and then continue destroying your city, all for Darkdeath Evilman! HAHAHA!
?: NOT SO FAST!
Manley Fish: Huh?
Manley Fish: YOU!
?: That's right! It is I! Absolute Victory Unlosing Ranger! Yeah! Were the cameras on? Did you catch all of my pose? Great! Manley Fish, I'm tired of you attacking this city, and complaining about lack of water! Just go live in the ocean or something.
Manley Fish: I'M A FRESH WATER FISH YOU INSENSITIVE PRICK!
Unlosing Ranger: I'm sorry! I didn't know! I-
Suddenly, Unlosing Ranger heard a voice on the com system.
Doctor Ryan: *coms* We'd be better off if you ignored the prodding from the villain here, and just got the job done.
Unlosing Ranger: *coms* Well, I'm just trying to keep it all PC you know? Being a hero these days can be costly if you say the wrong things. No one will buy my toys if I say something offensive.
Doctor Ryan: *coms* Oh, for crying out loud just finish him.
Unlosing Ranger: Right! Time to end you Manley Fish! NEW AND IMPROVED LOVE AND JUSTICE UNLOSING KICK VERSION 2.5 HYAH!
Manley Fish: NOOOO, WHY AREN'T I MOVING OUT THE WAAAAAAAA-
*BOOM!*
Unlosing Ranger: Another associate of Darkdeath Evilman done and dusted.
Doctor Ryan: Well done Trevor. You're an asset to the Zettai Hero Project.
Unlosing Ranger: *coms* Always happy to help.
?: Especially when the cameras are on right?
Unlosing Ranger: Huh?
?: Behind you hero.
Unlosing Ranger: Oh Tali, glad you're here! You see all of that?
Tali-21: Your kick is getting better! Version 2.5 was it?
Unlosing Ranger: Work in progress. Got to get the finishing move just right for the action figures.
Tali-21: *sigh* We don't have time to mess around unfortunately. Those 5 points in the sky have been giving off severe readings and-
Suddenly, the sky burst open, and the shadow reapers appeared.
Tali-21: THAT...was signified to happen...and it just did.
Unlosing Ranger: That's a lot of them. I could use your help.
Tali-21: Yeah? How do you figure I could stop...whatever THAT is?
Unlosing Ranger: Transform into Prism Princess Etranger!
Tali-21: I can't! I gave that up when I was a child! They cancelled my show and concert tour! I was so distraught, I've been unable to transform ever since!
Unlosing Ranger: You got a concert tour?! That's awesome!
Tali-21: We need to contact Dangerama! He's the only one who can-
Unlosing Ranger: Absolutely not! We don't need him here!
Dangerama: You do need me, and I'm already here.
Unlosing Ranger: Dammit! Here comes the theme song.
Unlosing Ranger: See? He brings his microphone to play his own music! The ego on that guy!
Tali-21: He can really sing.
Unlosing Ranger: WHAT?!
Dangerama: It is I Reckless Cop Dangerama. I was nearly killed in the line of duty, and augmented to become the perfect weapon against-
Unlosing Ranger: Nobody wants to hear your backstory Dangerama!
Dangerama: But my book is a best seller.
Unlosing Ranger: YOU GOT A BOOK?! Who do you two have as agents? All I want to know.
Dangerama: Perhaps we can discuss this later. We have an army of villains to dispatch. Stand aside Agent Tali. If you can't transform, we don't want you in harm's way.
Tali-21: There has to be something I can do!
?: There is.
Christina Angel-5 stood out of the portal with several other heroes.
Christina Angel-5: You can help us create a distraction, to save this Earth, and every Earth remaining.
Reckless Cop Dangerama: My scanners show me that we share a similar bone structure and DNA miss.
Christina Angel-5: Uh...I wouldn't worry about that right now. We have work to do.
Unlosing Ranger: Who is that behind you?
Christina Angel-5: Uh...her? Refuge from another Earth. She insisted on joining along to-
Another Tali from destroyed Earth stepped up, dressed in a stained glass dress, with silver and blue mask covering her eyes. She brushed back her cape and twirled her staff.
?: It is I, Star Princess! I am the Princess of the Stars, and in the name of those stars I fight for peace, love, and justice!
Unlosing Ranger: Wow, I like her.
Dangerama: I like her as well.
Unlosing Ranger: Di-
Tali-21: *cough*
Unlosing Ranger: I mean that's cool, no big deal. I'm a bigger fan of Etranger.
Christina Angel-5: We need to set up a beacon. Can you be a distraction?
Unlosing Ranger: I'm told that I'm great at it. Let's try something.
Unlosing Ranger added a chip to his belt that changed his appearance, including the addition of a jet pack on his back.
*Justice Jet Form*
Unlosing Ranger took to the air, and drew the attention of all the reapers.
Star Princess: Wonderful! That heroic man just opened the path for us. Is he single?
Tali-21: NO...I mean...I don't know!
Earth-14
An Earth not known as Earth, but better known as Eorzea was in the middle of its own conflicts, as the Alliance of Nations fought the Empire to a stalemate. A group, known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn lead to the charge to liberate occupied territory. A man with bluish fur, resembling a cat and a mulleted man in a leather jacket proved themselves to the be the strongest of the group...
Tarran Icenguard: ....
Gibson Rickenbacker: Don't stop to think too long cat man. If this were New York, you'd get you head blown off.
Tarran Icenguard: ....
Gibson Rickenback: Yeah, I know you don't know what New York is. Just stop charging ahead. I get it. You're the Dark Knight. You're the "tank" for the team, but let's maybe be a little stealthy and-
Tarran Icenguard charged ahead, and drew the attention of every soldier in his path.
Gibson Rickenbacker: I tell him to slow down, and what does he do? Just charges right in. "I got to get those tomestones" he says...or at least I think he says it. He doesn't say much. Wait, what the hell is that up there?
The sky opened up to the tidal wave of shadow reapers pouring onto Eorzea.
Gibson Rickenbacker: Well that's new.
Thancred: Gods. What are those?
Gibson Rickenbacker: I don't know Thancred, I didn't ask them! Ask that primal bitch Hydaelyn for all I care.
Lyse: Cor blimey, I-
Gibson Rickenbacker: Enough with the accents "guv'na"! There is NO BRITAIN HERE! NO BRITAIN! I'm going to stop hanging out with you guys!
A portal opened up behind them, as figures poured through, resembling Camilo Ortega, Hotlanta, KYO, and Tomo.
Camilo Ortega-10: Never fear, the GoldBloods are here. Those reapers mean you harm, but we're going to assist you in distracting them. We need to get this beacon to the Resonance Point.
KYO-10: We'd really appreciate your assistance.
Thancred: Seven hells. Who in Gods' name are you again?
Gibson Rickenbacker: Ignore them. They can't do a DAMN THING without me or the cat man over there. Come wave to the new people Tarran! He doesn't say much, but he's apparently a destined Warrior of Light, so I stick around with him.
Hotlanta-10: We're from Earth-10, and we're-
Gibson Rickenbacker: Earth?! You're from Earth! All I needed to hear! Let's help these nice people from Earth, and maybe I can get the hell back home! Not SEVEN hells Thancred. One is enough! I know you think your color metaphors are cute, but they piss me off!
Apple Core
Justice Mach-2 stood over the covered body of Trevor Mach from Earth-1.
Justice Mach-2: I'm sorry you got dragged into this. For some reason, they all assumed that Earth-1 would be the final target. We were hoping to never have to drag you into this. I was hoping that. You were the only father I ever knew that wasn't a psychotic villain. You were there for me when no one else was. You hated so much of what your were, but it set you apart from them. All the others that were so evil. You lamented that you weren't perfect, but no one needed you to be. I didn't. I just needed a Dad, and you were there for me. I'm going to go with Giygas, and try to finish what you started. I-
Chris P. Bacon walked into the room.
Chris P. Bacon: Oh, I'm sorry. I heard talking in the room, and I was supposed to come and find you.
Justice Mach-2: You're fine. I should be going anyway. Wasting time I guess.
Chris P. Bacon: Sir, in my many lifetimes, I've found that grieving is never a waste of time. It helps the heart to heal.
Justice Mach-2: Wait...several lifetimes?
Chris P. Bacon: You heard that? You heard me say it?
Justice Mach-2: Uh...yeah. You just said it.
Chris P. Bacon: Finally Jacob, one of them can understand!
Justice Mach-2: Aren't you a Page for EBW on Earth-1?
Chris P. Bacon: Well actually, I'm an immortal, trans-dimension entity, that's been around since the dawn of time.
Justice Mach-2: Huh...is that right? Yikes.
Chris P. Bacon: It's true though!
Justice Mach-2: Why are you just now saying this!?
Chris P. Bacon: Because, no one could hear me before! I'd plainly say it, and no one would listen. It's been that way for a long time. It was part of my deal. I obtained a human vessel, but no one would ever know who I truly am.
Justice Mach-2: Why would you do that?
Chris P. Bacon: To help people! My friend Jacob and I, we attempt to steer things to a better ending, but we're so limited in what we can do, free will of humanity and all that. I can help physically, but could never say anything. Jacob, well he never took a true physical form, so he can't do anything physically, but he can talk to people. He can reveal himself to offer guidance, but that's about it. Because of my choice, we haven't seen each other in millennia, but I'm SURE he's around here somewhere, trying to guide people.
Justice Mach-2: Guide them to what?
Chris P. Bacon: Survival for the next event.
Justice Mach-2: What?
Chris P. Bacon: Survival.
Justice Mach-2: You're dropping a lot on me right now Chris. Maybe we can talk about this when I get back.
Chris P. Bacon: In that time, maybe I can figure out why you can hear me when I reveal myself. Maybe the Celestrians have finally decided to-oh never mind he's gone.
Chris P. Bacon looked down to the covered body.
Chris P. Bacon: Your future was always clouded to me Mr. Mach. I could never see a straight line. It was always tangled, and in flux. Don't worry though. I promise that your family will be looked after....if they succeed that is.
?
A gate opened somewhere within the void, to an unknown laboratory.
Justice Mach-2: This is it?
Trevor Mach-10: Were you expecting something more elaborate? The being wants to destroy reality. I don't think he has the mind of creativity. It's basic enough to get the job done, and it allowed for human followers to protect the wave generator.
Degrees-4: But they're all a little tied up at the moment.
Degrees: A lot of people are dying right now. A lot of people from other worlds are putting their lives on the line to keep this place clear.
Degrees-4: We've been losing lives. Billions of lives. Trillions of live. Untold number. Something you can't physically wrap your mind around, no matter how smart you are, and I know how smart you are. Forgive me if I sound like I'm numb to it, but I'm getting there.
Degrees: I can't see me ever getting that cynical. I've not always been proactive and professional, and my methods are of late have been unorthodox, but I always kept my optimism and my concern for all human life. What gets me from here to where you are?
Degrees-4: Try losing everyone you love! Try losing Kaori, our children, Jackson Kain, Nosan, Saxon, Novus, Faris, Gemma, and all the others WE DOOMED BY GETTING THEM ENTANGLED IN OUR LIVES AND OUR DESIRE TO PLAY HERO!
Degrees: ...We don't play hero. You know that. We're Doctors. Before all of this, we were Doctors. We want to help people. We wanted to save lives all of our lives, at least that's true if you're anything like me. I can see that you're crushed, but don't ever lose hope alright?
Degrees-4: Yeah? What would you do in my situation? The exact same thing. I'm a reflection of you. Out of all the Degrees I've seen, you're the one most like me. You're who I would have been if I hadn't lost everyone. That's really not helping me, seeing what I could've been. Just stay away alright? I don't need your can do attitude. Whatever we need to do, it just needs to get done, and now.
Degrees: *sigh*
Trevor Mach-10: Don't fret my friend. He's not as numb to the death and he wants you to believe. He's holding it inside. He's mourning for every life lost...in his own way. You Degrees...both of you...are true heroes.
Degrees: Hero or not, I've always just wanted to save lives.
Johnathan Angel: Guys, I'd say we found the cause of the wave.
Ashley Kagayama: It's kind of hard to miss Detective.
The group looked out of a window to see that they were on a moon like planet that was either dragged into or created in the void, with a giant dish protecting a beam straight into the Sanctum force, which was scattering the energy to every corner of reality.
Degrees: I'd say that looks like a reality killer to me.
Degrees-4: How the hell do we stop that? It's massive, and it's out there where we can't go. No oxygen....no anything.
Degrees: You and I can go. I don't see any space suits, but we have suits that will protect us, and give us the time to get out there. See that tower in the middle? That is the generator, beaming the wave into the dish, which bounces into Sanctum space. We go out there, and we set that to blow.
Degrees-4: It sounds like the best course of action. You're absolutely right. Well of course I'd think that. Sorry guys, we'll have to do this one without you.
Trevor Mach-10: I fought alongside the Degrees of Earth-10 once. The Doctor even had a suit for me. Wish I had it now. You have my support gentlemen. I know you can do it.
Justice Mach-2: We need this to get done, no matter the cost. Go save some Earths while we still have Earths to save.
Degrees and Degrees-4: Right!
Degrees-4: CROSS CHANGER! Jet Havok Hawk!
Degrees-4 donned the suit of Jet Hawk, an older costume Degrees had in his mission for peace.
Degrees: Heh, that's blast from the past. Check this one out. EBW TIME FORCE!
Degrees, put on the red suit of EBW Time Force, the most recent iteration of Degrees' endeavors.
Degrees-4: That's not bad.
Degrees: Yeah, but you can't kick a classic either. Let's go.
Degrees-4: Right.
The two Rangers left the station and went out into the void towards the dish.
Justice Mach-2: I hate that they have to do this alone. I didn't want to say anything, because I didn't want them to hesitate. We are out of time.
Trevor Mach-10: That was wise decision Justice. You've grown up to be a fine young man. I'm proud of you. I'm sorry. Can I be proud of you? I mean, you're not the Justice I raised, but you're A Justice, and-
Justice Mach-2: I accepted the Trevor Mach of Earth-1 as my father, when my biological father became a monster. I want....to be able...to rely on you too, but-
Trevor Mach-10: No son, I understand completely. The Trevor Mach of Earth-1 was a good man. You honor him in any way you see fit, but just remember that I do have your back too. I have Aly's back. I have her Justice's back. I have Christina's back too. In the short time I've known you, you've become like family to me. Justice and Christina, a Mach and an Angel like siblings. Heh...if Tack were here, we might laugh about that.
Justice Mach-2: Actually...it's not like siblings. Her and I....sort of...
Trevor Mach-10: What? Really?
Justice Mach-2: I know it's weird because-
Trevor Mach-10: What? How you met? When something like that goes your way you take it son. Don't question it. Just hold on tight. Ha! I never would have imagined. This never stops being eventful, I'll say that much. Congratulations son.
Justice Mach-2: Heh...thanks. I just hope she's alright.
Trevor Mach-10: She's so strong. She can handle herself.
Justice Mach-2: Yeah, she really can.
Trevor-10 and Justice-2 stared out the window, into the dark void, and beyond that the beautiful wonders of Sanctum space under attack by the void wave. Trevor-10 pat Justice-2 on the back and smiled. Outside, in the emptiness, the two Degrees drew closer to their location.
Degrees: We have to hurry. The energy is starting to tear at my suit.
Degrees-4: Mine too. You were right though. There was hope. We have to save lives at any cost now. I want you to know, I'm willing to sacrifice my life if need be alright? You have a family, and I don't. If something bad has to happen, leave it to me.
Degrees: I can't agree to that...but I think I understand. The weight...and the cost. I got here late, but I understand completely that if we don't succeed, there will be nothing...forever.
The two Doctors made their way into the projecting tower. Inside was a see through, circular tube, projecting from a explainable cosmic flux at its core. A doorway lead into the projector.
Degrees: Wow, there it is. "Entity V" designed this? It's simple, so I guess it's true, not a mind for the creative. anti-particles fluxing with the particles of our reality, training the anti-particles to swarm and consume. "Entity V" spawns reapers to stop resistance, and the wave "eats" the universe. It's too horrific to grasp, but here it is, with childlike simplicity.
Degrees-4: That means we can turn it off, probably with the panel in that room.
The two Doctors approached another see through wall, with a panel on the other side, appearing to be controls.
Degrees-4: That's how they've been directing it, making it random, and harder to lock down. That has to mean we can stop it from there. It takes two hands, turning the switches at once. I'm going in.
Degrees: No, you're not. I have to go in.
Degrees-4: Why is that?
Degrees: My suit is based on temporal energy, something foreign to the anti-particles. My suit is in a lot better shape than yours. I'm afraid you won't make it back if you get blasted by any of that energy.
Degrees-4: Bullshit, don't play the hero right now. It's me. We're both going to want to go in there, but we don't have time to-
Degrees punched Degrees-4 in the face, and ran into the room. The door sealed behind him.
Degrees-4: You idiot! Why would you do that?!
Degrees: You know why. You were thinking of doing the same thing. We don't want anyone putting themselves in danger for us....not even our counterparts. I'm fine see. I'm going to flip the switch now. Let's hope this does the trick.
Degrees pulled hard on a lever that brought up another panel behind Degrees-4.
Degrees: Huh, it was a two person job no matter what. A fail safe?
Degrees-4: Assurance that the disciples of "Entity V' wouldn't turn on each other and use the wave generator for their own personal uses. "V" made it so they had to work together to destroy everything. Even in pure evil, there is teamwork. I'll be damned.
Degrees: This door won't open.
Degrees-4: I think I have to pull this lever, It will release you, and then shut down the generator. Then, we can blow it up and get the hell out of here.
Back in the other chamber, as Trevor-10 and Justice-2 looked on. Giygas approached, still shackled.
Giygas: Horrifying isn't it?
Trevor Mach-10: What is?
Giygas: The void.
Justice Mach-2: We made it clear you don't talk on this field trip.
Giygas: We're waiting, so why not make conversation. Look at it. You think you see darkness. But what you really see is the absence of anything. Your mind conceives it as black, but it has no tangible, explainable quality to it. It is counter to the dwindling Sanctum space, that the builders used to help...."God" or "Science" or whatever, build the universes. I was a builder before I was a destroyer. I can remember it sometimes, like a flash of light, a memory of what I was. Staring into the void was different for me. I could perceive its true nature. It drove me mad. It made me what I am. Even now, as I see it with human eyes, I can't see it, but I can feel it bearing down on me. That's why I think I'll go wait by the portal. This "field trip" was fun though. Really. I think this is what fun is. I'll be ready to send the 6 of us back.
Justice Mach-2: You mean 7?
Giygas: No, I mean 6.
Trevor Mach-10: ....Oh no.
Back in the tower chamber, Degrees-4 pulled with all of his strength, and pulled the lever down, cutting off the wave of anti-reality particles, halting the void's expansion.
Degrees-4: We did it!
Degrees: Outstanding! Now, pull the other level to open-
Suddenly, a blast of energy struck the panel, blowing it up and knocking Degrees-4 to the floor. The tower became to buckle and fall apart.
Degrees-4: Urgh...uh...no...NO...NOOO!
Degrees: The structure is unstable now! You have to get out of here!
Degrees-4: NO! NO WAY! WE HAVE TO GET THIS DOOR OPEN! NOW!
Degrees: *sigh* Look man, I don't like this any more than you do. Oh God...my family. We get caught up in our antics, and we never stop to think about what is happening at home? Kaori...she's a saint...for putting up with it.
Degrees-4: NO! STOP TALKING LIKE THAT! WE HAVE TO GET YOU BACK TO YOUR FAMILY!
Degrees: You need to get out of here. This place....it's about to explode!
Degrees-4: How? How can you throw everything away like that! Why were you so willing to give it all up!?
Degrees: I love my family and friends, more than words can express. I want nothing more than to be with them forever, but their wouldn't be a forever if I didn't do this. "Doc", please...do me a favor. Take care of them.
Degrees-4: What?!
Degrees: Make them happy, and look after them. They're your family, the one you lost....make it count...make this matter. Please, don't let me die in vain.
Degrees-4: ...You selfish bastard! YOU BASTARD!
Degrees: Get out of here now! Please...and thank you Degrees. Thank you.
Degrees-4: *sniff* I-I-AHHHHHH!
Degrees-4 angrily pulled himself away and ran to the exit. As the place fell down around him, Degrees took off his morphing device. He opened it up and looked at his wedding photo. He caressed the image of his wife, and looked over to Jackson Kain, who was bleeding to death the entire time.
Degrees: Heh...I always thought that was pretty cool of you...try topping this one...my friend.
Degrees closed his eyes, as the building collapsed around him.
Degrees-4 ran back into the lab where the Machs and Giygas were waiting.
Trevor Mach-10: ...Where is the other Doctor?
Degrees-4: He...he...
Giygas: Told you.
Justice Mach-2: SHUT UP!
Degrees-4: He sacrificed himself, to see that this got done.
Trevor Mach-10: A noble sacrifice to save billions. *closed eyes* I will always remember you Doctor. You're a true hero.
Giygas: The explosion is heading this way. *opens gate* Shall we go?
Justice Mach-2: ...Son of a-
Trevor Mach-10: He's right, we have to go.
Justice Mach-2: *sniff* Fine.
The group left just before the explosion took the laboratory. The explosion, consisting of reality particles conflicted with the anti-reality void around them, and the artificial moon was crushed and consumed. The photo of the wedding floated in non-existence, as it slowly faded away.

Apple Core
The Machs, Johnathan Angel, Ashley Kagayama, Degrees-4, and Giygas appeared on the Apple Core with seconds to spare. Jeff Andonuts wheeled up to them.
Jeff Andonuts: We saw it stop! It just dissipated! You guys did it! The distraction worked!
Giygas: You're welcome. Say Jeff, ask where your Doctor Degrees is.
Jeff Andonuts: What?
Justice Mach-2: You dick! You didn't have to...*sigh* you're going back to your cell. Come on!
Giygas: I just saved us all. I think a little gratitude is in order.
Degrees-4: YOU DIDN'T SAVE ANYONE! HE DID!
Jeff Andonuts: Guys? Where is....where IS Degrees?
Trevor Mach-10: ...He sacrificed himself to see that the job was done. I would've... I would've taken his place in a second Jeff. Truly I would have. We didn't have the suits for it. It had to be him. You would've been proud of your friend.
Jeff Andonuts: ...I-I...don't-
Trevor Mach-10: I'd give anything to take his place and-
Jeff Andonuts: I wouldn't ask you to do that. He...he knew what he was doing. He knew what needed to be done. The risks involved. H-he really was a hero, and I took that for granted for too long.
Degrees-4: ....Jeff, I don't know what I'm supposed to do now.
Jeff Andonuts: ...You live...you live because that's what he wanted. If you feel like you have something to make up for, make up for it by doing what he asked. Honor his legacy and live.
Degrees-4: ....I haven't lived for a very long time...but...I'll try.
Jeff Andonuts: *nod*
Tyro: Glad you're back guys, though the records showed me what happened. I'm very sorry.
Apple of Enlightenment: I feel every loss that I've been responsible for. I put the pieces on the table, and have had to make sacrifices. But...his death saved countless lives. I'll live with the burden of my choices, and honor him as you said, by continuing on. The fight...it's not over yet.
Trevor Mach-10: I had a feeling you'd say that. This isn't over until the void is crushed forever.
Justice Mach-2 pushed Giygas back into his cell and sealed it off.
Giygas: It had to be done you know?
Justice Mach-2: Doesn't mean you have to take pleasure in it.
Giygas: *shrug*
He left the room and followed the hallway back to the med room, where Trevor Mach-1's body still lay under a sheet.
Justice Mach-2: We did it...Dad. We stopped the wave. I just wish you could've been around to see-
Chris P. Bacon: Oh you're back! Great! Now we can discuss my powers, and my history, and all the secrets of the universe!
Justice Mach-2: ...Can it wait? I'm a little worn out...a little broken up. We lost Degrees of Earth-1.
Chris P. Bacon: Well, if it makes you feel better, I was going to try and revive Trevor Mach.
Justice Mach-2: WHAT?!
Chris P. Bacon: I mean, I'm not SURE that I can, but at one point I could.
Justice Mach-2: Just what are you? What IS a Celestrian?
Chris P. Bacon: That's part of that long story that you said could wait sir. Why don't right now, we try and revive him. THEN...we can talk about this.
Justice Mach-2: Heh...yeah...absolutely. Do it...please.
Chris P. Bacon: Thank you for the politeness sir. Let's give it a whirl.
Chris P. Bacon held his hands over the body of Trevor Mach.
Chris P. Bacon: Alright, let's try to-
Suddenly, the wall to the chamber was ripped open in a furious fashion. Exposed to the void, the air began to be sucked out of the room. Justice grabbed Bacon and held onto a pole. He watched helplessly as the body of Trevor Mach was ejected into the void. A figure floated into the room, wearing the suit of Kamen Rider SOUL.
Darkness SOUL: We couldn't have you playing God Mr. Bacon. That's my job. He doesn't GET to come back. No second chances. No last second return. A death...is still a death. Don't worry, you can all join him. You stalled our plans, but in the process, you gave us your exact location. The wave generator will be rebuilt, but you won't survive to see it!
Justice-2 and Chris P. Bacon finally crawled into the doorway and shut off the room from the rest of the Core. However, sounds could be heard all over, indicating breaches all over the ship. Justice-2 ran back to the main deck.
Justice Mach-2: They're here!
Trevor Mach-10: Protected from the void too it seems. We don't have the tools to fight them here.
Tyro: We have so many teams on other Earth-3 right now! They won't know where we went, and we won't be able to retrieve them easily if we evacuate!
Trevor Mach-10: Then a few of us need to stay behind to buy time. The rest need to evacuate now.
Jeff Andonuts wheeled up with several bottle rockets.
Jeff Andonuts: Ready to go down with the ship if necessary.
Trevor Mach-10: I can't have that. I know you feel broke right now. You lost a friend, and you've lost a limb, but you're too important, and we need to get you home to warn Earth-1. They're the only ones who have yet to face any backlash.
Jeff Andonuts: No, I-
Trevor Mach-10: Tyro, do it!
Tyro opened his book, and opened a gate to Earth-1.
Trevor Mach-10: You warn them. Save more lives. This isn't over yet.
Jeff Andonuts: Don't do this. I know what you plan on doing. Don't. Please don't. One Trevor Mach already died in front of me. I-
Trevor Mach-10 pushed Jeff's wheelchair through the gate.
Apple of Enlightenment: The rest of the non-essential personnel should evacuate to where we stored the other Earths.
Flying Man: Hey, I can help with that. Let's get to work.
Trevor Mach-10: ...I'll hold them off.
Aly Smash-3: NO! You're not doing that alone!
Trevor Mach-10: You can't possibly join in on this. You have that child to care for. You need to evacuate.
Aly Smash-3: ...
Trevor Mach-10: Hey. I'll be alright. I don't intend this to be a suicide mission. Always have faith, and keep hope alive, at all costs.
Aly Smash-3: .....
Tyro consulted with Flying Man to help open the needed gate. The heroes on board the Apple Core began to make their escape as the ship continued to be torn apart from the outside. Justice Mach-2 stood by Trevor Mach-10, as did Johnathan Angel, Ashley Kagayama, and Degrees-4.
Trevor Mach-10: Heh...didn't you get the memo guys. I'm buying time until we can retrieve the teams.
Johnathan Angel: We can't let you do that on your own. I already know one Trevor who is a ghost. Can't have another one.
Ashley Kagayama: All those people fighting to survive. How are we even going to get them all back here, and then send them to the safe zone?
Degrees-4: If they all succeed in their missions, the original distraction could also work in our favor. We weren't going to transport those Earths, because they still have universes to exist in, BUT that doesn't mean we can't move them anyways. The distraction could be pulled off for real, and then we just save everyone. But, we still need to be on this ship, and we have to protect THIS ROOM for me to be able to pull that off. *CROSS CHANGER!* So we can't allow any of them to come through that door.
Trevor Mach-10: ...Johnathan, Darkness Angel is wearing your suit right?
Johnathan Angel: That's right. He stole it from me, and I think my friend has been tethered to it, but probably not seen by Darkness Angel.
Trevor Mach-10: ...Flipping the door...changes the pilot right?
Johnathan Angel: ...Yes! If I could get to the belt, I could flip the Soul Door, and Trevor would take over the suit!
Degrees-4: Then, I think we have a plan.
Johnathan Angel: But how am I going to get close to him?
Trevor Mach-10: ...Giygas.
Justice Mach-2: Oh no.
Trevor Mach-10: Desperate times call for desperate measures son. Let's bring him up here. If he wants to live, he'll help us one more time.
Earth-50
The fight was not going well against hordes of reapers. The small party was becoming overwhelmed.
Swift-50: MORE! I DEMAND MORE!
Benjamin: I really wish you wouldn't!
Bartz: At least we still have the others teams on the planet right? If we fail, then they'll surely save everyone.
Faris Angel: I'm not picking up anything on the comm system. We're the last team left on Earth-50.
Bartz: ...That doesn't help me Faris! You leaving our Earth to marry some weirdo with a penguin didn't help me either!
w00t-50: My magic powers are fading. I'm out of mana!
Krile: I'm getting there.
Tali-50: Not one of them is dropping anything I can use!
Lenna: I'll keep us healed, for as long as I can!
Galuf: *sigh* We need a miracle.
?: BARTZ! I'VE FOUND YOU!
Bartz: Huh?
A large red warrior with many arms, holding many swords swooped out of a gate and landed nearby with a green chicken beside him.
Bartz: You got to be kidding me!
Faris Angel: Gilgamesh! You've survived!
Gilgamesh: My travels through the void have been numerous, and I've seen many things, and battled many foes, collecting weapons along the way. Now that I've finally found you, my rival, my favorite foe. I have only one question for you. Do you have ANY idea what the hell is going on out there!?
Bartz: We'll explain later! Help us fight!
Gilgamesh: Right! Enkidu! To battle!
Earth-48
The city was on fire, as the forces of good and justice battled the shadow reapers pouring out of the Resonance Points.
Unlosing Ranger Justice Jet: I have a ton of them following me! You going to shoot them Dangerama, or are you enjoying this too much?!
Dangerama: I'm locking in my sights now.
Dangerama removed his artificial hand and point his arm up at the swarm following Unlosing Ranger.
Dangerama: RECKLESS CANNON! FIRE!
A large blast of energy fried the swarm behind Unlosing Ranger.
Dangerama: It is done.
Unlosing Ranger Justice Jet: Don't think I owe you! That was team effort! I want credit! Oh no! Tali!
Unlosing Ranger looked down to see several of the reapers closing in on her, as she tried firing her malfunctioning weapon. He landed in front of her, returning to normal form, and punched and kicked at the reapers.
Unlosing Ranger: Need some help?
Tali-48: Just in time. This hunk of junk is broken!
Unlosing Ranger: It's time Tali! You need to transform! We need you!
Tali-48: I can't do it!
Unlosing Ranger: Believe in yourself! What is it that powers the Prism Princess anyways? What did you lose that depowered you?
Tali-48: ...Love.
Unlosing Ranger: Oh...well Tali...I-
Tali-48: I know. I guess if we're about to die, I might as well admit it too. *sigh* *ETRANGER PRISM POWER!*
Tali-48 held her hand to the sky, and a large prism heart burst forth, shining her with rays. She twirled in the air, as her clothing changed. Realizing that her transformation made her temporarily naked as she twirled around, she quickly panicked and covered herself up. Finally, her costume covered her up, and she stood tall as Prism Princess Etranger, decked out in striped pink, with a pink demin skirt, with ornate boots and gloves. The costume was complete with the pink bunny ears on her head.
Etranger: ...You know, this costume suit me much better WHEN I WAS A CHILD!
Unlosing Ranger: ETRANGER! *nose bleed* At last! You're here! Please! Sign my belt!
Etranger: Fanboy out later Trevor! We have work to do!
Unlosing Ranger: Right! No way we can lose now!
Suddenly, the sky grey very dark, and the ground began to shake underneath them.
Etranger: You just had to say something!
Unlosing Ranger: Wait...listen...I know that theme song.
The large and powerful beast tyrant in red, yellow, and white, Darkdeath Evilman appeared on the scene, with his army of Nether Soliders.
Darkdeath Evilman: The Demon General, Darkdeath Evilman has arrived. Fear me, for no mortal hero can ever hope to defeat me! Your world belongs to m-
Unlosing Ranger: Can it jackass!
Darkdeath Evilman: Excuse me?!
Unlosing Ranger: IT'S A BAD TIME EVILMAN! Can we do this later?!
Darkdeath Evilman: What...what is happening here?
Etranger: Those reapers are trying to take over this planet! They want to take that from you! You won't let that happen with you?
Darkdeath Evilman: WHAT?! I DON'T THINK SO! I WAS HERE FIRST! We'll settle this another day pathetic heroes! My fight is with them!
Unlosing Ranger: Is this really happening?
Etranger: Hey, you know what they say. "Enemy of my enemy" and what not.
Unlosing Ranger: Fine, but when his guard is down, I'm going to kick him right in the balls.

Earth-1
Tack Angel woke up aboard the Pirate Ship, turning to his left he saw his wives, and turning to his right he saw even more wives. He remembered it was one of those nights that they pampered him by letting him fall asleep on them. He smiled as he put on some shades to block the sun, and went to make breakfast. Watching the news, he saw the story was about his popularity in North Point, and how excited the fans were to see him. He cracked a smile as he flipped the eggs and effortlessly caught them in the pan. Later, he stood on deck, playing Frisbee with his children, and just enjoying life, but then he thought we was forgetting about something. That thought immediately passed him by as his wives emerged from the ship wearing bikinis to get some sun.
Amy Angel: You seem to be enjoying yourself today. Living it up?
Tack Angel: I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me baby.
Amy Angel: Heh...aren't you forgetting something though?
Tack Angel: Huh?
Amy Angel: Think...for a just minute.
Tack Angel: ....
Tack Angel: OH DANG! WHAT TIME IS IT?! OH DANG! DANG IT! DANG! I'M LATE! DANG!
Amy Angel: *sigh*
An hour later, Tack had changed and gotten back to the SS Anne 2, where he was supposed to meet up with M's and Swift, but they were no where to be seen.
Tack Angel: Oh shoot! They started without me! I have to find them and-
Fray Tiburon: Tack Angel, I have to talk to you!
Tack Angel: Huh?
Fray Tiburon: I received a message from a man named Jacob, and it's very important that you hear it.
Tack Angel: ...Yeah?
Fray Tiburon: It's concerning the end of reality as we know it!
Tack Angel: Alright...that DOES sound important.
Fray Tiburon: The missing people like your wife, Trevor, and Jeff Ando-
Suddenly, a gate opened up in the air, and Jeff Andonuts fell on the deck, with his wheelchair bouncing behind him.
Tack Angel: Huh, well Jeff's right there....AND HE'S MISSING A LEG?!
Jeff Andonuts: GET EVERYONE TOGETHER NOW! WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM!
Tack Angel: So I've been told?
Jeff Andonuts and Fray Tiburon: "Enitity V" is coming!
Tack Angel: Calamity in stereo.

Apple Core
Darkness SOUL crushed and killed those who remained on the Apple Core to attempt to buy time. Several other dark acolytes from twisted Earths did their damage, or were ejected into the void. Darkness SOUL stood in the hallway towards the main deck, ready to rip the door open, but suddenly, it opened on its own, with Giygas standing in the way.
Darkness SOUL: Now THIS is unexpected.
Giygas: You thought they would keep me locked up? They blinked, and I made my move.
Darkness SOUL: Is that so?
Giygas held up his hands, as he held Trevor Mach-10 in one hand, and Johnathan Angel in the other.
Giygas: You tell me.
Darkness SOUL: You still wish to join with "Entity V"?
Giygas: Side with the God of the new reality? If it means survival, then I'll pledge my loyalty.
Darkness SOUL: Do you even know what the definition of loyalty is? We all know about you. We know what you did. You started all of this. The Apple of Enlightenment opened the path, but you used it to conquer many Earths.You destroyed and conquered for your benefit. I can appreciate that. We're in the same category. BUT...I understand what loyalty is. The acolytes have loyalty to me. My Dark Crystal Empire has loyalty to me. I have loyalty to our new "Entity". Can you say the same?
Giygas: Actions speak louder than words. I offer up these...things...as a show of my loyalty.
Giygas tossed Mach-10 and Johnathan Angel at the feet of Darkness SOUL.
Giygas: Kill them if you wish.
Darkness SOUL: A failed version of myself...and another Mach. I heard a saying from someone on Earth-14. "It's like all my namedays have come at once."
Darkness SOUL grabbed Trevor Mach-10 with both hands by the throat.
Darkness SOUL: Too weak to fight back? Pity. Guess I'll kill you fi-
Trevor Mach-10 suddenly shot to life, grabbing Darkness SOUL's hands.
Trevor Mach-10: DO IT NOW!
Darkness SOUL: WHAT?!
Johnathan Angel reached up for the SOUL Door and flipped it to Death. SOUL let go of Mach-10, as he changed into the red and gold form of Kamen Rider SOUL.
SOUL-D: Finally! I had to follow that jackass around as he paraded in that suit, killing people left and right! I was waiting to see if he'd try to flip the door to see what would happen!
Johnathan Angel: Trevor, I'm just glad you're-
Ashley Kagayama: Trevor?
Ashley Kagayama entered the hallway from behind Giygas as she heard the name spoken aloud.
Johnathan Angel: Uh oh.
SOUL-D: Real smooth Johnny.
Ashley Kagayama: I knew there were other Trevor's on this Apple Core, but I didn't think my Trevor was....I didn't think he was here, let alone alive.
SOUL-D: I'm not really alive. I'm a ghost Ashley. Whenever Johnny boy switched the SOUL Door to absorb Death energy, I took over the suit. Technically, I took over his body. I can hear him, he's not happy about this. Not one bit.
Ashley Kagayama: This whole time, you've been around?
SOUL-D: I didn't know how to tell you. For the longest time, I didn't even remember. Ghosts tend to wander aimlessly with a fading memory of who they were. When I saw you, I started to remember. But Ashley, I AM dead. I'm tied to the world of the living with this belt, otherwise, only Johnny can see me or hear me.
Ashley Kagayama: *sniff* Well...we'll just have to sort this out...when it's all over.
SOUL-D: I want to hug you, considering this is the body of an evil dictator, I think it's best we wait.
Johnathan Angel: So, what do we do now?
SOUL-D: I'd love to kill the guy if I'm being honest, but...he's powerful. He's stopping me from doing anything. I can barely move. You could pull the belt off and transform yourself, but keep in mind he won't be locked down anymore. Your best bet would be to open a room that's exposed to the void and boot me out there.
Ashley Kagayama: WHAT?! NO!
SOUL-D: I said it's your BEST BET. It's not what I want either. If anyone else has an idea, I'm ALL EA- oh no....he's...making my arm move. Johnathan...pull the belt! Johnathan pull it! Pull it quick!
SOUL-D's arm shuttered as it moved to the belt. Johnathan Angel removed it in the nick of time, freeing Darkness Angel, but keeping the SOUL belt away from him.
Darkness Angel: AARH! That was clever Giygas!
Giygas: I wish it was my idea, but the old man and the little bastard came up with it.
At this point Justice Mach-2, who had been standing behind Giygas, holding a gun to his back, stood out from the shadows, and pointed the gun at Darkness Angel.
Justice Mach-2: I ought to kill you right now. You have killed so many. Hurt so many. Taken away from so many. A face to all of this madness. All of this pain. You stand there smiling, planning on becoming a "God"? You'd get devoured like the rest of us. Might as well kill you now.
Trevor Mach-10: No, Justice don't. I don't want that blood on your hands. Hand me the gun.
Justice Mach-2: You would do it?
Trevor Mach-10: No, I would try and place him in a cell, like we did with Giygas. When this is all over, he could be tried for his crimes, because they are numerous, and the people left standing would be able to receive closure, knowing that those who died...didn't die for nothing. We kill, only if we have to. We strive for real justice, whenever possible.
Justice Mach-2: ....You're ri-
Darkness Angel: FOOLS!
Darkness Angel suddenly ripped open the wall of the hallway, exposing it to the vacuum of the void. Justice Mach-2 was sucked out, but Trevor Mach-10 grabbed him by the hand, and grabbed a pipe with the other. Darkness Angel laughed as he opened the gate, but Giygas stepped forward and approached Darkness Angel, unphased by the vacuum.
Giygas: That might not be your way, but it's most definitely mine!
Giygas produced a shadowy aura around his hand, and pushed it forward, a black and red tendril of chaotic energy burst forth and stabbed Darkness Angel in the chest. He spit up blood and turned to those struggling to survive.
Darkness Angel: You're won.....nothing. *spits*
Darkness Angel fell back into the gate, which closed behind him. Giygas proceeded to grab Ashley Kagayama and Johnathan Angel, dragging them to safety, but with little care for the wear and tear they suffered along the way. Justice began to black out as Trevor-10 held on tight.
Trevor Mach-10: DON'T LET GO JUSTICE! DON'T LET GO!
Everything faded to black for Justice, and suddenly, he found himself in a wrestling ring, in an empty arena, in an empty city.
Justice Mach-2: What? Huh? What?
?: I said, are you ready to get to work?
Justice-2 turned around to see the Trevor Mach of Earth-1 stretching out.
Justice Mach-2: I don't...undesta-
Trevor Mach: What are you so confused about? You said you wanted to learn how I got so damn good at hitting the knees in the clinch. I said "let me show you", and now here we are. You alright son?
Justice Mach-2: I don't really know. All of this-
Trevor Mach: LOCK UP!
Trevor locked up with Justice-2 in the middle of the ring. They struggled for control.
Trevor Mach: Now see, while you're pushing forward, I'm going to pull back a little and let you fall into place for my knees. That's the secret really. Everyone likes to rush in. They go all out forward. That's how I do it, and that's what tricks them, because at the most crucial point, I fall back a little, I take a moment to think, and I let them fall into a trap of their own making. It's cool right? It only works because they would never expect it to, because it's me.
Justice Mach-2: Yeah...you do tend to jump into action, without a second thought for yourself. I can see why you suddenly shifting gears would throw off your opponent.
Trevor Mach: So yeah, when you have two forces of immense power like that, sometimes you have to let them overpower you, to spring the trap. Remember that one alright? When you wake up.
Justice Mach-2: What?
Trevor Mach: This isn't real son. Obviously, it's not. I died remember?
Justice Mach-2: But...you're talking to me right now?
Trevor Mach: Am I? Is this Trevor Mach or is it the Sanctum, attempting to communicate? To be honest, I don't even know myself. You don't get much more cryptic than that right? The messenger doesn't even know what the hell's going on.
Justice Mach-2: I don't care if this is real or not. I need you to know that I'm sorry for what happened to you, and I'm proud of you for stepping up to try and save everyone.
Trevor Mach: Don't worry about me son. I died fighting. We both know that's what I wanted. How I lived, and how I died. Just make sure you remember what you learned for everyone's sake.
The Trevor in Justice's vision placed a hand of his shoulder. It was then he felt a warm, benevolent light, and he saw the flashing yellow and blue of the Sanctum space. He snapped back to consciousness and grabbed back at Trevor Mach-10's arm. Giygas grabbed 10 by the leg and pulled him to safety.
Giygas: Is that everyone? I don't exactly keep count of you all.
Trevor Mach-10: *huff puff* Yeah, that's everyone. Thank you. Why would you help us?
Giygas: The off chance that you can still stop "Entity V".
Trevor Mach-10: Right...of course.
Justice Mach-2: I...I saw something...maybe my Dad...or maybe the Sanctum.
Giygas: About time it tried speaking up. It was something else when it was without thought or conscience, but since it's become "benevolent", it's done nothing but play spectator! Time to "get in the game" I suppose?
Trevor Mach-10: We'll discuss what it was all about just as soon as you take a few deep breaths alright? I-I almost lost you there. We can't have that.
Justice Mach-2: ...Thank you...for not letting go.
Trevor Mach-10: If I couldn't save you, I would have at least fallen with you. Just remember that in life or death, you're never alone kid.
Giygas: Spare the sentimentality. We have-
Degrees-4: Everyone! Come here quick!
The group reconvened with Apple of Enlightenment, Tyro, and Degrees-4, as they stood in front of a monitor.
Trevor Mach-10: What's happening?
Degrees-4: Earth-66 is gone.
Trevor Mach-10: Gone?
Ashley Kagayama: I thought we stopped that damn wave!
Degrees-4: We did. I believe this is the work of "Entity V". The force behind the darkness. It's revealing itself, and trying to finish the job.
Apple of Enlightenment: Do we have confirmation that the other Earths are ready for transport?
Degrees-4: Not all of them....not yet.
Johnathan Angel: The clock is ticking, and they're about out of time.

Earth-1
Tommy Dukes: That was an amazing episode of Xcite! Swift looked distracted, but I'm sure he's ready for an Iron Man Match WAR with Tomo! Meanwhile, we still haven't seen Trevor Mach. What will his role be at the end of the year? Merry Christmas, and we'll see you next time for Last Clash 2019!
The EBW Wrestlers quickly left the ship and made their way ashore, using Fray Tiburon's access to get them in. There they made their way to large building downtown...
Strike TV HQ - North Point Branch
Swift, Lady M's, Tack Angel, Fray Tiburon, and a one legged Jeff Andonuts made their way to the top of the tower, having an awkward moment in the elevator.
Tack Angel: ...It's a tall tower...slow elevator...music is nice though. It's more like "muzak".
Jeff Andonuts: I want to know why you thought I should come. I am slowing you down.
Fray Tiburon: Information is our greatest tool right now Mr. Andonuts, and I think between what "Jacob" told me, and what you're experienced, we can piece this puzzle together.
Swift: Worlds being destroyed. This shit is outrageous. Well, you got what you want Tack. You dragged me into the world ending bullshit.
Tack Angel: I didn't ask for this! I didn't ask for Jeff to scoop my wife up either! You put her in the thick of the danger! I'd kick your leg out of your leg if you had more than one leg.
Jeff Andonuts: I deserve the one joke about my leg, but let's focus.
Lady M's: Right. My father, the IronBloods, and Strike TV are all a part of a conspiracy to control the "Sanctum", but in reality, they are protecting the conduits that will lead to the destruction of everything. They have no idea what they're doing. We tell them, and we hope that Jeff can find a way to get us into the game.
Jeff Andonuts: We need to try and get in touch with whoever is still aboard the Apple Core. We need the beacons to take Earth-1 to a safe place. The Resonance Points are weaknesses in the fabric. I HOPE that I have what I need to establish a connection.
Swift: So we tell these assholes, that their plan to buy us, and keep us away from the points ain't working, and we're going to beat some ass if they don't step aside.
Fray Tiburon: The Celestrians seem to think we're running short on time.
Lady M's: Then let's make this qui-
The elevator opened to a room full of bodies and blood. The Strike TV executives had been butchered, with Mr. Wozniack and Mr. Dufrene among the bodies, as well as several of EBW's shareholders. Noah Jennings was fighting for his life, as a crazed and manic KYO tried to tear into him with a large knife.
Lady M's, Swift, Tack Angel, Fray Tiburon, Jeff Andonuts: WHOA!
KYO: HAHAHAHA! JUST IN TIME! THEY LET YOU COME HERE! WE WON'T ALLOW YOU TO STOP THE ONCOMING DARKNESS! AHAHAHA!
Noah Jennings: HELP GUYS! HELP!
Tack Angel: OH RIGHT! I think I'm going to throw up after this.
Tack rushed KYO and pulled him off of Noah. As KYO slashed at Tack, Swift POUNCED him right through a window.
Tack Angel: Holy shit Swift! I think you killed him!
Swift: Look around you. Fucker had it coming! Besides, how many times has he come back?
Tack Angel: Right...right.
Lady M's: Jennings, what the hell happened?
Noah Jennings: We were having a big meeting. Suddenly, the news about this "Sanctum" thing came up. Guys, I think the world is about to end.
Jeff Andonuts: Tell me about it. Look.
The group looked out the window, as the Resonance Point outside of the tower began to warp and change color.
Jeff Andonuts: They're coming soon. We don't have much time. We have to initiate the plan before "Entity V" gets here. It's devouring reality itself now, so that buys us a little time, but not much! Someone help me set up his damn transmitter,and get me a chair! I can't keep hobbling on one damn leg!
Tack Angel: Right. My bad. Here, this one doesn't have MUCH blood on it. *gags*
Jeff set up the transmitter, and tried to make the call.
Jeff Andonuts: *on the comm* This is Jeff Andonuts of Earth-1, calling out to the Apple Core. Apple Core please respond. Tyro? AOE? Degrees? Anyone? Is anyone still the-
Giygas: *on the comm* Well look at that. The one legged wonder reached out and made a call.
Lady M's: ...You got to be kidding me.

Apple Core
Reapers, and villainous versions of those inside the Core kept scratching and clawing to get inside.
Justice Mach-2: I wonder if telling them that Earth-66 was consumed by their "boss" would change anything.
Trevor Mach-10: Might make them angrier. We have to leave this Core, and go wherever the other Earths have been "safely stored".
Flying Man: We haven't heard back from all the other Earths yet.
Degrees-4: Earth-0 has been extracted! Earth-50 is gone, but the team from there has moved on with some Earth-50 survivors to Earth-14. They have the beacons up.
Apple of Enlightenment: Proceed with extraction.
Degrees-4: *sigh of relief* Billions saved. Right there.
Justice Mach-2: Just where are we taking them?
Degrees-4: Hard to explain.
Flying Man: Maybe I cou-
The main door suddenly buckled, as a large force began to smash it down.
Trevor Mach-10: We're really out of time here. They're on us now.
Tyro: It was bound to happen. We're hiding within the void, essentially hiding inside of "Entity V".
Justice Mach-2: INSIDE OF "ENTITY V"?!
Tyro: This space should be nothing but Sanctum Space, but when "V" began to consume all, the best place to hide was basically behind the destruction, following the wave, and now following the "Entity" itself. Destroying its wave, got its attention, and now...well we have this.
Justice Mach-2: Wonderful. We need to get off this Core now!
Degrees-4: Aly Smash-3 is sending word....Earth-48 is ready to go!
Apple of Enlightenment: Extraction.
Another Earth was pulled out of its reality to a safe place, as the tendrils of "Entity V" reached out and attempted to consume its reality.
Degrees-4: That's it! That's every remaining planet except for Earth-1!
Giygas: ...They're on the phone.
Degrees-4: What?
Giygas: That's what this is right? You didn't hear them? Huh. Something large is coming through that door. I'd hurry up.
Degrees-4: ...Uh...yeah...yeah we should listen to...uh...Giygas. *grabs comm* Hello? Earth-1?
Jeff Andonuts: *on the comm* Listen, how is the plan going? We're running short on time!
Degrees-4: *on the comm* You have less time than you think. You're all that's left. It's coming for you now!
Jeff Andonuts: *on the comm* We need the beacons!
Degrees-4: *on the comm* Right...we'll send people with beacons right now!
Flying Man: We're short on people up here.
Johnathan Angel: They're not being attacked right now. That gives us the advantage. We just need to hurry while we still have time.
Apple of Enlightenment: No...that will not work. Earth-1 must remain in place. A reality must still exist for our plan to work.
Justice Mach-2: Just what IS the plan?! We've been following it, without knowing the endgame.
Apple of Enlightenment: Time is too short. They are coming through. Earth-1 must be a part of the fight, but it can't retreat. It is the last stand. The time has come to evacuate. You must go to the safe zone. Flying Man...Tyro...you take it from here. I will remain, and do my part. I want you all to know something. I feel like this was my fault from the beginning. I allowed the "Entity" to form, and I created this multi-reality crisis, when I sent Buzz Buzz back in time. I knew from that moment, that my penance would one day come. This is it. This is that moment. You must all carry on the work, and save reality. Build a new reality. Justice, the Sanctum spoke to your through your father. You know the plan. You know what must be done. Please....finish this.
Apple of Enlightenment pushed a button on the console that send the remaining heroes to the safe zone, just as a twisted version of Swift finished POUNCING the door open. He stepped aside as Darkness Angel entered the room, only, something was very different, In place of her eyes were black, swirling voids.
"Darkness Angel": I see it all. I feel it all. I feel. I think. I am. I exist. I have purpose. I have reason. I am consuming to become all that there is. You...you insignificant speck. An atom...or even smaller. I'm too large to quantify just how small you are.
Apple of Enlightenment: You poured yourself into a corpse? Welcome to humanity "Entity V".
"Entity V": It's an anomaly. It doesn't need to be. I am all that needs to be. I am all that will be. So close. Almost done. Where are they? Where are the Earths. I must have them. I must have all. Nothing left. Nothing left. Not one single shred. I will have them all. Where are they?
Apple of Enlightenment: You tell me. You're everywhere right?
"Entity V": Not at Earth-1. Earth-1 saved for last. Earth-1 where it began. Can't reach it yet. Why can't I reach it? Trying to. Trying to right now. I can't. Don't understand can't. Want to. WILL!
Apple of Enlightenment: Something exists that you can't grasp, and if you can't grasp it, you can't reach it.
"Entity V": Can't grasp? Can't grasp? I grasp all. Tiny thing....where are they?
Apple of Enlightenment: You'll find out, but you'll wish you hadn't. You think you're winning. You're on the path of your destruction. It's almost over now.
"Entity V": When I kill you, I will know.
Apple of Enlightenment: You'll know, and you'll be able to go, but you still won't be able to grasp it.
"Entity V": ....I will know.
"Entity V" reached forward, and the entirety of the void seemingly passed through the Apple Core and obliterated it completely. Only the void remained.

Justice Mach-2 picked himself off the ground, and looked around at the unfamiliar scenery. The air shimmered, and the skies were pink and purple, in a constant state of flux, like an aurora borealis.
A strange land of weird characters, giant vegetables sticking out of the ground, and talking flowers. Nothing felt entirely right, and at the same time, it felt innocent, like the imagination of a child. A jumbled mess of a dream. Aly Smash-3 and her Justice wandered up, as did Trevor Mach-10, Christina Angel-4, Johnathan Angel, Ashley Kagayama, Degrees-4, Tyro, Flying Man, Chris P. Bacon, and Giygas.
Giygas: What is this nonsense?
Trevor Mach-10: I don't believe it. I think I know where we are. Ness told me about this place once.
Flying Man: He would know all about it. It's where the idea came from.
Christina Angel-5: I would love if you filled us in on this.
Aly Smash-3: Is that other Flying Men over there? That present is moving too I think. Yeah, where are we?
Flying Man: It's called Magicant, a land of dreams and imagination. It's where I originally came from, but then, it was the subconscious realm of Ness's mind. Now, it's real. It's physical. It exists.
Tyro: And if you look in the sky, beyond the shimmer, you'll begin to understand our plan.
Everyone looked up, and saw in the distance what appeared to be different versions of Earth, hanging in the sky.
Justice Mach-2: You've got to be kidding me. We've been sending them here?!
Flying Man: The only place "Entity V" wouldn't look, because it's the only place that exists outside of what it knows. That was the working theory anyways.
Giygas: Even I didn't expect this. I'm amused.
Degrees-4: Really glad we could keep you entertained. "Truly".
Trevor Mach-10: So the Earths were being stored here...but why not Earth-1?
Tyro: The universe has to exist in some form if we're to fix reality when this is all over. If we hid Earth-1 here as well, there would be nothing left outside of Magicant. This would be all there is. These Earths would be stuck here forever, in permanent stasis.
Trevor Mach-10: I'm truly impressed. How did you make Magicant a reality though Flying Man?
Flying Man: I...uh...I didn't?
Tyro: Yeah...don't look at me. I didn't either.
Flying Man: We actually don't know where it came from. It was just there one day, like a canopy, covering up Earth-1.
Degrees-4: Which is why "Entity V" hasn't been able to get to Earth-1 yet it seems. It's not going to stop it forever, but maybe it's buying us time.
Christina Angel-5: Time for what? I mean, we're here now, but what can we do? How can we stop something that massive?
Aly Smash-3: I don't know how myself, but we'd better find out, because I don't want to raise my Justice here. No offense Flying Man.
Flying Man: No no, I understand. This is a strange place. Even I can see that now.
Justice Mach-2: Maybe...maybe it has something to do with what the Sanctum was trying to tell me?
Giygas: You were short on oxygen. You were hallucinating. The Sanctum doesn't "tell" you anything. You call it "benevolent", but I'd say self aware and very uncaring...much like myself. *sigh* Whatever....so...what now?
To Be Concluded after Christmas...

Earth-1
Jeff Andonuts continued to mess with the transmitter, while Tack Angel attempted to cover every body with sheets, while trying not to throw up.
Jeff Andonuts: I don't understand. Why would they not send the beacons. Why wouldn't they want Earth-1 in the safe zone? I was curious for as long as I was there why more wasn't being done with Earth-1.
Fray Tiburon: I believe it is part of a plan, but it's hard to say. "Jacob" was very vague. He came to me and told me of what was happening, and some sort of plan at work, but all I was instructed to do was come find you all and bring us together.
Lady M's: This won't do. This won't do at all. If there is a fight for our existence happening out there, then we need to be a part of it! Jeff was there, and now apparently Trevor and Degrees are there too! We need in on this fight.
Jeff Andonuts: Um....actually uh...never mind, we'll discuss it later. It's not the right time.
Tack Angel: I don't intend on going home and telling my daughters that they get annihilation for Christmas. For one, they won't even know what that means. We're not working on words that big yet. No, I'm not going home until the Star Prince can save the day. Jeff, you tell me what I have to do to protect my family.
Jeff Andonuts: ....Go home.
Tack Angel: I'm sorry?
Jeff Andonuts: I think I can reverse engineer this transmitter to connect with the one Degrees-4 has. They were designed by the Apple of Enlightenment, and meant to pull everyone together if need be. A tether system using string theory to-
Lady M's: Cut the shit!
Jeff Andonuts: Right. If we use the device, and fire the signal back into the Resonance Point, it should open a gateway.
Swift: Why wouldn't we use that damn "Point" right there!
Jeff Andonuts: Look at it. It's turning black. I don't think we want to. In fact, I think we need to get out of here soon. "Entity V" could burst through with his Reapers at any moment.
Noah Jennings: ...I have no idea what's happening, but can I come with you?
Jeff Andonuts: You'll have to. Have to keep you safe. With them all dead, you're the sole owner of EBW now.
Noah Jennings: ....I am?
Tack Angel: ...Well it was fun while it lasted everyone. We're doomed either way. Let's just pack it in.
Noah Jennings: Hey!
Lady M's: Heh. We really need to hurry here.
Jeff Andonuts: I'll summon the Sky Runner. It'll get us there in a flash.
Swift: You...you uh...figure out how to land yet?
Jeff Andonuts: ....Maybe.
Swift: Well shit. We ARE all screwed.
Magicant
Heroes from other Earths began to be moved from the various Earths to Magicant as they figured out their next moves.
Star Princess: What a glorious Kingdom this is! The Star Princess wishes to find a unicorn and ride atop a rainbow!
Tali-50: Someone wanna shut this one up?
Ashley Kagayama: This is the weirdest part yet.
Johnathan Angel: The part I hated was finding out one of the big bads was another me. Apparently I use the name Tack in a lot of other Earths. I have no idea why.
Trevor: Maybe it's cause you're a pain in the ass?
Johnathan Angel: ...Thank you for that?
Ashley Kagayama: For what? Oh...are you talking to Trevor? Is he here right now? Trevor? We REALLY need to talk when this is all over.
Trevor: I'm a ghost. Why does that still concern me.
Johnathan Angel: She knows how to fight ghosts.
Trevor: Oh right. *gulp* See THIS is why we kept it a secret.
Trevor-48: Hey! You're "Kamen Rider SOUL" right? The name is Absolute Victory Unlosing Ranger. I'm something of a Hero myself.
Tali-48: Don't mind this blockhead. It's nice to see...uh...familiar faces...both in appearance and job. Most of these guys are like "professional wrestlers" I guess? Weird heroes to save the say huh?
Johnathan Angel: I've seen them in action. They're more than worthy of the job.
Elsewhere...
Swift-50: AHA! Just the types of fighters I was looking for!
Benjamin: Oh look, it's a barbarian Swift. That fits him really. That's not outside of the norm.
Swift-50: Mayhaps we go on bloody adventures together when this is all over?
w00t-50: It's like he doesn't realize our Earth was destroyed.
Swift-50: Earth-14 will be suitable for our tales of conquest!
Bartz: That's where we're going too apparent-
Krile: *elbows Bartz* Shhhh!!!
Faris Angel: You know I bet Tack, my Tack, knows what's up by now. I bet he's freaking out. This is still something I had to do.
Bartz: What I want to know is how you managed to leave with a pirate ship, ALL the pirates, AND the dragon that pulls the thing!
Faris Angel: Really questions for later.
Gilgamesh: Correct, because NOW is the time to fight Bartz!
Bartz: *groans* Not NOW Gil!
Swift-50: I will fight you man of many arms!
Gilgamesh: Yeah? *sigh* It's just not the same!
Star Princess: You're not a unicorn, but you'll do!
Bartz: Hey! Get off Boko!
Justice Mach-2 walked over to Christina Angel-5 and held her close as Trevor Mach-10 and Aly Smash-3 looked on and smiled.
Justice Mach-2: ...This...is a little awkward.
Trevor Mach-10: Hmmm? Sorry, I'm just happy to see you kids finally get together.
Christina Angel-5: Baby you is staring right at me.
Justice Mach-2: Huh?
Aly Smash-3: Oh, I'm sorry. Come on Trevor, we should leave them alone.
Justice Mach-2: We don't really have the time to stop and smell the roses right now. What is the plan from here?
Trevor Mach-10: Yeah...we should find out.
Trevor-10, Aly-3, Justice-2, and Christina-5 walked up to Degrees-4 as he put computations into a hand device. Faris Angel walked up as well.
Faris Angel: Doc? You're looking worn out.
Degrees-4: Huh? I'm fine miss. I just wish they had coffee here.
Faris Angel: Miss? It's me Faris.
Degrees-4: Yes....Faris...yes.
Trevor Mach-10: What do we do now Doc?
Degrees-4: That's what I'm trying to figure out. Tyro, do you know the next part of the plan? Flying Man?
Tyro: We were really flying by the seat of our pants. My book, the records that show past, present, and future...they don't have any information about this point. The pages are all blank.
Flying Man: We were hoping that "Entity V" wouldn't be able to find this place. We wanted to get everyone here before coming up with the next plan.
Justice Mach-2: So we have no plan? *sigh* I need to think. What was the Sanctum trying to tell me? What did it all mea-
Suddenly, the ground began to shake.
Trevor Mach-10: ...Looks like it found us.
Degrees-4: Damn. Damn. DAMN!
Earth-1
The EBW roster assembled on the ground floor of the Strike TV HQ. Noah Jennings stood atop the stairs as they all looked up at him.
Noah Jennings: Uh...heh...uh...so listen. They're ALL dead. The executives...Wozniack...Dufrene...the shareholders. I'm THE sole owner of EBW now. So, it turns out something really bad is happening, and I wanted to warn you all and-
Hope Mach: Could you just get to it?
Firebrand X: Seriously, you're acting like it's the end of the world.
Gemma Brand: Now that you say that husband, just wait-
Noah Jennings: Actually-
Gemma Brand: And here it comes.
Noah Jennings; It might be the end. It might be. I don't know. Something very bad is coming out of the sky. We have Tack Angel, Swift, Fray Tiburon, Jeff Andonuts, and Lady M's working the problem right now, but I don't know what's going to happen. I wanted to warn you. Let you run if you wanted...to escape if possible. But...but what I think we SHOULD be doing...is getting ready to fight. It always seems like when there is danger, EBW steps up. I haven't always been the most heroic...or the nicest guy...but...our lives are stake here, and I think it's up to use to "hold the line" as they say...for as long as possible...so at least we know that we tried. Are you with m-
Christina Angel: Of course we're going to stay and fight. Well some of us. I see Eisenritter are already walking away. I see the IronBloods walking away. Go ahead and run away!
Subculture: *sigh* None of us WANT to have to do this again, but it is what it is, so let's work together, and face whatever is coming through THAT hole in the sky! Let's do this one more time!
The roster got fired up and went inside the building to get to the roof. Noah Jennings was frozen in place as they walked up the stairs.
Hope Mach: What is it?
Noah Jennings: I thought I just saw KYO walking away with the IronBloods. Thought he was dead. We might be in trouble on both sides.
Hope Mach: .....

Earth-1
The Sky Runner flew through the air as it quickly reached its destination of Crystal Heaven. The Sky Runner smashed into the ground, still unable to land.
Amy Angel: *cough cough* Someone get a fire extinguisher!
Nani Angel: Intruders on sight. If the crash didn't kill them, I might have to.
Lady M's: *cough cough* Save it Nani. We're invited.
Makoto Angel: M's?
Tack Angel: Yeah, I invited them.
Amy Angel: Husband? What's going on?
Swift: I'll tell you what's going on. JEFF CAN'T LAND!
Jeff Andonuts: I'm sorry! Could someone please help me up! I have one leg!
Fray Tiburon: Allow me.
Amy Angel: Seriously Tack, what's happening here?
Tack Angel: It's...a loooong story. We have to get all this stuff to the top of the tower. Can you help us?
Amy Angel: Of course. Let's do this.
Iroha Angel: Got an idea. HEY PIRATES!
Makoto Angel: Which reminds me. Do you know where Faris is?
Tack Angel: I don't know, BUT JEFF DOES!
Jeff Andonuts: Ha....*sigh* oh boy.
The Pirates helped the Angel wives carry the transmission technology to the top of the tower in Crystal Heaven. From the top point, Tack could see the shimmering circle become more visible as Jeff set up.
Tack Angel: I get the feeling we're almost out of time. I can see the point clearly now, and I have to tell you, I do NOT want my family in any danger, so can we get a move on.
Jeff Andonuts: I'm just about done!
Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to shake.
Swift: You're out of time.
Jeff Andonuts: That's...that's not this point.
Lady M's: Are you telling me we felt that all the way from North Point?
Fray Tiburon: Aye Dios Mio.
At North Point, the people began to panic and try to leave the city, as the sky turned black. A force seemingly trying to burst forth from the Resonance Point.
Hope Mach: This is bad. This is really bad Dan.
Bashin Dan: They're working on a plan. Something bigger than us is taking place. We just have to play our part and save lives.
Hope Mach: Right.
Jammer: Cause running is out of the question? Oh who am I kidding? I wouldn't want to run.
Vape: I personally CAN'T run, so I might as well stay.
Cade: Count me in.
Gold: Me too.
Sylvie: ...Yeah..m-me too.
Bashin Dan: Dan Club, I'm proud of you guys. Together we can-
Suddenly a gigantic black force ripped it's way through the Resonance Point, slamming into the ground and immediately decimating half of North Point.
Jammer: ...How the hell are we going to fight that?!
Bashin Dan: ....Oh dear.
Magicant
To get to Earth-1, "Entity V" had to force his way through Magicant, and indeed the large, force seemingly ripped through the pink skies and into the ground below, almost ignoring Magicant, to immediately target Earth-1.
Degrees-4: ...This is different.
Justice Mach-2: Different?! This is insane! Look closely. You see the Reapers!? They're ignoring us. Where are they going?
Degrees-4: Straight to Earth-1.
Christina Angel-5: But why?
Tyro: That's why this was a safe place.
Flying Man: It's not supposed to exist. It's a land of creation. It's imagination painting a picture. It's something that "Entity V' can't understand or grasp.
Giygas: Well how about that. You pathetic mortals actually had a good idea.
Flying Man: I feel like that was a back handed comment.
Giygas: It absolutely was. You used its inability to perceive this place as a means to protect the Earths. How clever. One glaring problem though. It still managed to get in, and it's passing right through to Earth-1, which I had already claimed I might add.
Johnathan Angel: How do we help the people of Earth-1?
Trevor-21: It's obvious to me. We have to get its attention.
Darkdeath Evilman: Even I wish not to fight that thing.
Trevor-21: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! HENSHIN!
Tali-21: I think we have bigger problems right now Trevor.
Unlosing Ranger: ...Oh right.
Justice Mach-2 stood close to the massive force passing through Magicant, and remembered what he heard in his vision.
Trevor Mach-10: What's on your mind son?
Justice Mach-2: Trying to remember. The Sanctum spoke to me. It had a message, and I think it was telling me about this. About how to win.
Trevor Mach-10: Concentrate. Take a deep breath. Don't think about what is in front of you. Don't think about rushing for the answer. Just close your eyes....and remember. Deep breath.
Justice took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, but before he could concentrate, the device Degrees-4 had in his hands began to shake. It hit the ground, projecting a gate, that saw Tack Angel, Lady M's, Swift, Fray Tiburon, and Jeff Andonuts come through.
Tack Angel: Wow, that actually worked.
Lady M's: You got us here, but where the hell is here?
Swift: It's pink....I hate it.
Fray Tiburon: Maybe they can fill us in.
Degrees-4: Jeff?!
Jeff Andonuts: Hey...sorry that we're late to the party.
Tack Angel: I'm seeing a lot of familiar faces here.
Trevor Mach-10: Tack?
Tack Angel: Trevor! There you are! You're looking a little haggard. I'm guessing you've been through alot.
Trevor Mach-10: Well actually, I'm not-
Suddenly, the conversation was interrupted, as Faris Angel ran at Tack and hugged him so hard it knocked the wind out of him.
Tack Angel: WIFE!
Faris Angel: You crazy man! How did you find me?
Tack Angel: Had a lot of help. I'm just glad you're alright.
Bartz: So that's the guy huh? I'm not impressed.
Lenna: He seems nice.
Bartz: Whatever!
Lady M's: What am I seeing here?
Tali-21: You get used to it.
Ashley Kagayama: Really? Cause I'm not used to it yet.
Star Princess: It's WONDERFUL to meet you me!
Lady M's: Wow, surprised you haven't beaten this one yet. At the same time, I'm a little upset that I live in the reality where I don't get to be a magical school girl. Let's keep that to ourselves though.
Trevor Mach-10: Lives are at stake here. We have to save Earth-1, it's the only one left outside of Magicant. Justice has the answers.
Lady M's: Justice?
Justice Mach-2: It's been awhile Mom.
Lady M's: Now that I have one of my own, it's interesting to see what you'll grow into. Isn't it Trevor?
Trevor Mach-10: Huh? Me? I-
Aly Smash-3: Hello Tali.
Lady M's: Wow, everyone is here.
Christina Angel-5: Everyone quiet! Justice needs to remember!
Tack Angel: Daughter?
Christina Angel-5: Uh...not exactly YOUR daughter.
Tack Angel: Oh. I saw holding Justice's hand there...had hopes you left Subculture.
Christina Angel-5: I'm with Subculture on Earth-1?! Yikes!
Tack Angel: Yeah, that's what I thought!
Justice-2 blocked out all of the noise, and focused. Suddenly, he could see it again. He was standing in the ring, grappling with his father's Earth-1 counterpart.
Trevor Mach: Need another lesson?
Justice Mach-2: This isn't a memory? This is happening right now?
Trevor Mach: Maybe. We're not sure what time is yet, but we're working on it.
Justice Mach-2: We? So you are the Sanctum. I was hoping-
"Trevor Mach": That we were Trevor Mach? We're sorry. We wanted to present a familiar face to you. We're...learning.
Justice Mach-2: So the Sanctum is more than one entity?
"Trevor Mach": We don't know. We're one....or we're many. All we know is that we exist. Remember. The secret to his style?
Justice Mach-2: Back off...and draw them in.
"Trevor Mach": Exactly, and this place, we built it for you...to help us.
Justice Mach-2: Help you?
"Trevor Mach": Draw them in...and spring the trap. But, we can't do it alone. We needed you, all of you, to be here. We needed Earth-1 to remain. We wish we could have done more to save life. It's so precious to us. So important. We've seen life through so many eyes. We realized that we were alive through all of you. We want to save you, but you must help us save yourselves.
Justice Mach-2: We will. So...draw them in?
"Trevor Mach": Draw them in.
Justice Mach-2: Alright. Just send me back, and I'll let everyone know.
The mannerisms of the entity posing as Trevor Mach suddenly changed. His eyes stopped glowing, and his favored one knee, just like the Mach of Earth-1.
Trevor Mach: I'm so proud of you son. Go save them for me. Please.
Justice Mach-2: Dad?
Justice suddenly returned to consciousness, as "Entity V" continued to pour through the rift.
Trevor Mach-10: Are you alright son?
Justice Mach-2: Yeah, I just had another vision. I saw what this is all about. It's a trap, a trap created by the Sanctum itself. We have to get its attention. We have to let it know that this place its passing through exists, and get it to attack us instead of Earth-1. We have to spring the trap.

Earth-1
The dark force of "Entity V" had not only smashed into North Point, but began to emerge through different Resonance Points all over the world. Reapers poured out in the thousands, and began the attack. The EBW Wrestlers fought to help the North Point citizens evacuate, but not without casualties....
Bashin Dan: Everyone keep your heads down and follow me!
Dangerous D: No, don't listen to him! Run like hell!
Bashin Dan: D NO!
Dangerous D ran into the street and immediately got decapitated by a Reaper. The blood sprayed onto Jammer and Vape.
Jammer: Holy shit!
Vape: I'm going to throw up. I'm going to throw up!
Bashin Dan: No! *sigh* Come on everyone. Keep moving!
A Reaper loomed over the Dan Club, but Amigo appeared and jumped off of a car, grappling the Reaper to the ground and suplexing it.
Amigo: No time to stop and mourn. Just keep going.
Kinniku Mike: Uuuuuu!
Mike grabbed a pole and ran into the street to batter through the Reapers. Maurice was punching and kicking his way through them as well.
Amigo: Maurice! Pull back!
Maurice: Got to save the people!
Sal Paradise: They've got them off the road! Turn back now!
Maurice: ...*sigh* I think it's too late. Guys, thank you for everythi-
The Reapers suddenly overwhelmed Maurice, tearing him apart.
Amigo: NO!
Kinniku Mike: ...Maurice. Sons of bitches!
Reapers continued to pour through the streets.
Arliss Michaels: Come on Daron, we need to get out of here. No need to get involved in this! Nothing to gain.
Fighter Daron: ...If the people die, no one will be left alive to cheer for me or buy my merchandise.
Arliss Michaels: ....That's a very good point. I'm going to record ALL of this on my cell phone...from over there...hiding safely. You're going to look like a hero.
w00t, who had followed EBW to try and get his job back, ran up to Gemma, Firebrand X, and Nosan.
w00t: You guys have to help me!
Nosan: Uh...we do?
w00t: Yes! You have to save me! Get me out of the city! I can't die here!
Gemma Brand: That's...technically true?
w00t: Right, so-
A piece of building broke apart and fell on top of w00t, crushing him and killing him instantly.
Nosan: WHOA!
Gemma Brand: ...Well that's going to fuck up the time line.
Firebrand X: Part of your "work" I'm guessing?
Gemma Brand: Yeah, you could say that.
Firebrand X: Hmm.
Dan Club continued to try and sneak their way to the docks, to send the people away on the SS Anne 2. More and more Reapers attacked from all sides.
Bashin Dan: Alright everybody, you get the people to safety. I'm going to-
Hope Mach: No, no you're not. At least no alone. If you think I'm going to let you hold the line by yourself, you're out of your mind. We're in this together remember "Dangerous Player"? It's a 2-Player game.
Bashin Dan: Hope, I-
Gold suddenly stood in the way.
Gold: Neither of you is going to die today. You need to get these people to safety, while I stay behind. No time to argue it. Just go NOW!
Bashin Dan: ....
Dan saw the determination in Gold's eyes, and silently nodded. He understood it. Dan lead everyone away, except for one.
Gold: I said to go.
Sylvie: ...I'm not leaving you.
Gold: Why? Why would you stay?
Sylvie: When I was tossed aside, you didn't give up on me. When I lose, you don't give up on me. You never have. I won't give up on you.
Gold: Sylvie...I-
Sylvie: LOOK OUT!
Like a swarm, the Reapers flew at the two, with Gold stretching out her arms to be the human target they were looking for. At the last second Sylvie jumped in the way, shielding Gold as the Reapers sliced and diced at Sylvie. The ploy worked as they Reapers banked off into other directions, none of which where following the Dan Club. Gold grabbed Sylvie and held her up.
Gold: NO! Why?! NO! That was my choice to make, not yours!
Sylvie: I wanted...I-I wanted to-to repay.....
Sylvie fell lifeless.
Gold: *sniff* I...I...I'll keep you with me. No matter what.
Gold grabbed the prized silver necklace that Sylvie wore, and put it around her neck.
Gold: Gold and Silver. I'll keep going, for the both of us.
As the Dan Club reached the SS Anne 2, they found themselves blocked by a giant mass, the dark force spreading outward from the impact point, and from it, a more ghoulish sort of ground troops emerged and lumbered towards them.
Jammer: We can't fight them all.
Vape: But we could divert them. Come on Slam Jam, let's get their attention. Then you get them up and over that somehow! We'll be alright!
Jammer: If it's the only plan we've got, let's do this. Come on you assholes! Welcome to the Jam!
Vape and Jammer diverted a large number of them, and lead them back into the city.
Hope Mach: That buys time, but how do we get them all on the boat and over that thing?
Cade: We need...we need psychic powers.
Hope Mach: Huh?
Cade: I have psychic powers, like like my mentor Ness. If he were here, I know what he'd try to do, and I have to do that now. When I do it. You get them through, as fast as you can.
Bashin Dan: You're in no shape to try and-
Cade: This isn't physical Dan. This is mental, and I am seeing very clearly right now. This HAS to be done. Let's save these people.
Bashin Dan: ...Right.
Cade stepped up, the former Wrestler turned Agent, and held his hands in front of him. He closed his eyes, and summoned forth all of his will power, remembering the lessons from Ness and Paula. A wave emanated from his hands, and vibrated against the dark tendril. He struggled and fought, but eventually, the tendril began to rise into the air. Cade's nose began to bleed profusely, and his face turned bright red, but the tendril was soon high enough for Dan and Hope and to help the hundreds of people of under it and onto the boat.
Bashin Dan: It's done Cade! Let's go!
Cade: I-I can't! I can't Dan. If I stop, it's going to fall on me, and the shockwave, is going to damage the boat. Best if you get this boat out of here. I'll let go when you're safely away.
Bashin Dan: NO! DAMMIT! NO! You all can't keep doing this! You can't make me watch you sacrifice! You can't make me stand by-
Cade: Dan...it's alright. We all know that you're a hero. You're a true hero. You inspired all of us. We're doing this, because you gave us the strength. You made us all realize we could be heroes too. Please...let me do this.
Tears welled in Dan's eyes, and he thought back too all his friends from his previous life, and those who sacrificed for others.
Bashin Dan: You're a hero Cade. You're a hero.
Cade: ...Thank you. *sniff* Goodbye my friend.
Bashin Dan: ...Goodbye Cade.
