Chapter Text

.The scene started up on the space lab.

The mysterious figure from before, could be seen upgrading a mechanical arm.

"Why? Why would they do this?" The voice questioned.

"Fine.. I guess I'll show them, I'll show them all.." The voice added on.

The scene cut to The Seven base

Cameron and Cooper, now 16 years old, were training using one of the training rooms, wearing under armour.

Whilst Order watched over the two to make sure they didn't hurt themselves too much. "Boys, be careful." Order called out as she watched Cooper punch Cameron.

Just then Visitor walked into the room, holding his and Order's almost 4 year old daughter, Luna. "Hey." Visitor spoke quietly to Order.

"Hey." Order responded as Luna pointed at her brothers and mumbled. "Bad fifgters?"

"Eh.. They've got some potential, monkey." Visitor responded.

Meanwhile in the mech station.

Paradigm was working on mech upgrades when she heard a low grumble and Origin walked into the room. "PARADIGM!" Origin yelled over the loud music that was playing on repeat, the song was "Lovin’ On Me by Jack Harlow."

"What?" Paradigm asked as she turned the music down.

"Why did you decline my battle plans? Origin questioned.

"Your ideas was stupid, you wanted to charge a colossal army." Paradigm responded as she scratched one of the zero point energy marks on her skin.

"But-" Origin was cut off as Paradigm put a finger to her lips and turned her music back up.

"Dammit." Origin said with gritted teeth as he walked away.

Meanwhile on the island.

Jones, Imagined and Hope were all all working on plans to deal with Doctor Doom.

Imagined turned to Fishstick who was trying to drown Peely and bluntly responded. "You fishy bitch, he's gonna die."

Jones shrugged. "Eh, he's already bruising."

"Both of you shut up, ding dongs!" Hope called out.

Imagined rolled her eyes. "Ugh.. Fine, but I'm not on babysitting duty when those two fight again."

The Oracle glared at Imagined. "Well someone has to do it. Or maybe they can just grow up."

"I got dibs on meowdouche babysitting, and not one of the Dr. Doom snapshots." Imagined responded.

"So..." Jones grabbed his contact device with the loopers. "Please go find a Meowscles snapshot that isn't working for Doctor Doom."

A darkness awakens upon the horizon..

A familiar face perhaps? No, this soul is too dark to seem familiar, but it's a lingering feeling.

What were to happen next in this fucked up world that keeps everything together? 

Meanwhile, at the lab.

The Scientist's new AI A.L.F.I.E was running blood scans for some zero crimson blood cures, but The Scientist, had just about given up trying to cure himself as his head laid motionless on his desk, next to a cup of coffee. "Alfie it doesn't matter anymore, just stop..."

"I'm not going to do that, Scientist." ALFIE responded.

"DO IT!" Scientist yelled, he wasn't known for snapping at people often, that was another one of his major changes from the zero crimson blood.

"As you wish." ALFIE said as he powered off.

Back at the island, the scene opened on Doomstadt

Imagined was leading a team of loopers and some seven sentries into a raid.

"Lets do this!" Imagined squealed with excitement as she jumped through trees, an assault rifle in her hands.

Jones was standing on the ground with the sentries and loopers, he was wearing some new armour and had a Captain America shield, he was calling himself Captain Jones now. "Uh, Immy please be careful up there!" Jones yelled from down below. "I'll be fine!" Imagined called back.

"Gonna hold you to that." Jones responded as he threw his shield at a guard.

Florence was sitting in her room, reading a book on her bed, she was wearing her own Seven suit.

The suit was navy colored, with a bit of light blue and orange.

Florence's helmet was resting on her bedside table with a peace logo on it.

There was some light piano music playing in the room.

Firenze, Florence's hedgehog AI quickly powered on and displayed a recording of the raid on the island.

Florence quickly noticed and stared at it. "I wanna join the fight!" Florence exclaimed as comms clicked. "Don't go anywhere, Florence." Paradigm said over comms.

"Please, mum?" Florence asked.

Paradigm sighed and responded. "Fine, just be careful, and take Cameron and Cooper with you."

Do you know what it's like to be abandoned?

"I do.. It's happened to me many times." An ominous voice responded.

"Well we won't let that happen again, will we? We need to destroy them.. For what they did to us." The voice cackled.

"Say goodbye to your protectors, reality zero.. And meet the new of the horizon." The voice was almost incoherent that time.

Cameron and Cooper were in the Armory, putting their Seven suits on over the under armour.

Cooper's armour was black with hints of cyan armour plates

Cameron's armour was similar enough, except for his armour plates being colored red instead of cyan.

"You ready?" Cooper asked.

"Of course." Cameron responded as he put his helmet on.

Cooper's helmet had the logo of a knife, as he had trained with them, and Cameron's was of a cube gliding around a circle.

"Mum, dad. We'll be leaving now." Cooper said over comms.

"Stay safe, boys." Order said in a motherly tone as some babbles could be heard in the background.

The scene formed to look like the cafeteria

The Origin was currently looking for tea bags as his stock in the weapon lab had ran out.

"Dammit, dammit where are they?!" Origin yelled.

Apollo quickly spoke up. "I'm telling The Scientist to make you some glasses, they're right in front of you."

"I DON'T NEED GLASSES!" Origin yelled and then continued. "Last thing I need is to look like a dork!"

A while later, at the lab.

Scientist was hunched over to the side struggling as a random lust of blood had awakened in him.

His red tainted eyes looking around the room for any source of blood.

ALFIE quickly powered on. "Is everything alright sir?" The AI asked.

Scientist let out a grunt of pain as he sat up properly and nodded

Just then Paradigm walked into the lab.

"Hey, are you okay?" Paradigm asked.

Scientist nodded as he took his helmet off. "I'm fine.." He leaned closer over to Paradigm pulling on her neck armour.

"Sci-" Paradigm responded nervously. "Shh, don't..." Scientist said as he bit into Paradigm's neck, making her let out a quiet moan. "Good girl." Scientist added on.

Back at the space lab

An ominous music box was playing "My Little Dark Age" By "MGMT" as the voice from before spoke again. "I could never see what fate had planned for me, but now it's clear.. And I'll show them what it means for what they did... But they won't make the same mistake as they did last time.."

The voice paused. "Or at least they shouldn't."

With the clank noise of a switch a mysterious device turned on and started doing ominous pulses. "Finally..." The voice said with a sigh as everything went dark.

Chapter Text

A rift slowly opened above Doomstadt

The rift emitting a blue glow above the area as Florence, Cooper and Cameron appeared in their Seven suits.

Cooper was known as The Expertalist for a Seven name, even though technically he wasn't actually a Seven member.

Florence went by The Prophecy due to a message she found from the future, which entailed her destiny.

Cameron was known as The Saboteur as he is known as the guy who destroys stuff that obviously, need to be broken.

Imagined smiled as she looked up at the rift. "Looks like we got some helpers."

"Good." Jones said quietly.

Meanwhile, at The Seven base.

Origin was in the process of increasing security across the building incase Doom intended to come here next.

Jones, Imagined. How copy?" Origin asked into his comms.

"Solid copy, these guys aren't as strong as they make themselves out to be." Jones responded.

Visitor spoke up through the comms "Probably helped that you got backup."

"It did help, thank you Visitor." Hope said through her comm device.

"Base is all secure for any attacks now." Origin said calmly.

Meanwhile, on one of the tiny beaches at The Seven base.

Luna was sitting there with her dad, building a sand castle as the sun was beginning to set.

Visitor spoke up as he sat next to his daughter "We gotta go inside soon, okay Lu?"

"5 more minutes, daddy." Luna responded.

"Alright, 5 more minutes." Visitor said as he handed Luna another shovel, this one shaped like an octagon.

"Thank you!" Luna said with a smile.

"Daddy can i bury you in the sand?" Luna asked.

"Why?" Visitor.

"Because it'll be funnyyyyyyyyy" Luna said as she started giggling.

"Alright, fine. But we're going inside after, it's almost your bedtime."

Meanwhile at the space lab.

Paradigm and Scientist soared through the darkness of space, on their way to checkup on everything at the space lab as there had been weird readings, signals, decrypted military codes coming from there recently.

As the duo both got close to the entrance, small hatches opened from different parts of the space lab as a mechanical arms latched onto them, and a mysterious voice spoke. "Long time no see.. Or should I say, arm?" The voice said menacingly.

"Who are you..?" Scientist asked.

"That's the wrong question, you should be asking me 'what am I planning to do?' Shouldn't that be the right question?" The voice responded.

"Well then what is your plan?" Paradigm called out.

"You'll see.. Or maybe, you won't." The voice said as the arms retracted from The Paradigm and The Scientist. "Leave this area.. Or meet death." The voice added on.

Meanwhile at Doomstadt.

Imagined had stolen Mysterio's Sovereign shotgun as well as his stealth medallion.

They both would probably be given to The Scientist to upgrade the cloaking technology in the Seven suits.

Jones was using his shield as extra guards surrounded the area.

At the other side of Doomstadt, Florence Cameron and Cooper were fighting off a different platoon of guards

Cooper was staying hidden, throwing knives at them.

Cameron ran straight through, attacking the guards with a sledgehammer.

And Florence was attacking the guards through zero gravity martial arts.

Meanwhile, in the weapon lab.

Origin, and Visitor were carefully monitoring the raid at Doomstadt.

Visitor was holding Luna, who had fallen asleep several minutes beforehand.

Origin was the first to speak up "Not too subtle about their plan." 

"All that matters is they get out of there alive." Visitor responded with a light sigh.

Order suddenly walked into the room, leaning against the door frame. "Hey." Order said quietly to Vis.

"Hey, Order.." Visitor spoke back to her as Order handed him a cup of tea and carefully took Luna.

"I'll take her to bed.." Order whispered as she kissed Visitor on his visor.

Visitor gave a small nod as Order walked out of the room.

"We're you ever a good dad, Origin?" Visitor asked.

"I left all of my kids with The Last Reality, what do you think?" Origin answered back.

"Fair enough.." Visitor said quietly."

Meanwhile, at The Underground base.

Peelverine and Hope were marking warning signs, territory marks that Doom had left, using a holographic map.

"Okay, so now we just need to send this off to the looper, see if they can find anything else of use to us." Hope said as she put down the last mark.

Jones quickly spoke over comms "Yeah, uh.. Good luck with your plan then." 

Imagined could be heard in the background yelling and laughing.

"Should I even ask what's happening over there?" Hope commented.

"Imagined stole some stuff from Mysterio." Jones responded bluntly as the sound of the Captain America shield could be heard hitting something, or someone on accident.. "Shit.. Gotta go." Jones added on as he shut his comms off.

In an instant the scene changed to Doomstadt

Jones had hit Imagined with his shield making a big tear going along Imagined's stomach.

"Immy, look at me sweetheart, it'll be okay? Alright? I promise.." Jones spoke as his voice was breaking.

Cameron, Cooper and Florence quickly ran over.

Florence opened a rift to The Infirmary at The Seven base as Imagined weakly looked at Jones.

"That's it.. There you are." Jones spoke quietly with a soothing tone as a stretcher was brought over and Imagined was scooped up onto it.

Echoes of a voice could be heard as shadows illuminated across the space lab

"Heroes? That word perplexes me now..."

"They say they're the heroes, that don't break, fall or give up."

"But that isn't true, they'll know real pain soon enough."

"Upon my darkening arrival."

"You won't even have time to say your goodbyes.."

A husky voice said creepily as it walked upon the room before reaching a chair.

"He replaced me, so now.. I take the one thing he loves the most..." The figure said tilting its head as it span the chair around, revealing it to be Paradigm, trapped, bloodied, and barely able to breathe in this space lab without her helmet....

Chapter Text

Imagined was quickly wheeled into The Infirmary of The Seven base on a stretcher.

"Heart rate dropping." One of the medical droids said with a beep.

"Where the hell are all the other droids?!" Jones called out

Origin responded over comms. "They're being repaired, but I can bring over a medic. Soon."

"Good, we're not stock full on time right now though." Jones responded quietly.

2 hours earlier.

Paradigm was in The Mech Station adding some upgrades to her mech, a small chip sparked on the back of her neck lightly as she continued working.

Paradigm put her hand to the back of her neck, a worried expression on her face. "What is that..?" She questioned, her sentence almost incoherent.

Within seconds she fell to the ground, feeling her consciousness start to fade away.

Paradigm slowly awakened an hour and a half later, barely able to breathe or form a sentence in the space lab, where all the sealed tight walls and the glass had been destroyed.

Paradigm's helmet was missing, but she noticed a figure in front of her, several figures.. Who were they? Why did they take her? Would she be able to get back to Scientist?

Paradigm thought to herself as she finally asked a question "Who are you..?"

"Wrong question, it's 'What. Are. We?' Isn't it?" A husky voice said.

The voice continued. "Of course, you wouldn't know why we took you, but we know. And one day, you will too."

The figure held up Paradigm's helmet, before crushing it in their arms. "I really hope that husband of yours doesn't find you."

"He will find me.." Paradigm said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, well then I guess I'll just have to kill you now." The figure said menacingly.

Present time, at the lab.

Florence was sat at a corner of the lab, engrossed in a new book, she was using this book to distract herself from what had happened to The Imagined earlier.

Scientist was sat by his desk and noticed a bunch of jumbled military codes scrambled together. "Alfie, give me a hand." Scientist said looking at the codes, to which ALFIE got one of the mechanical arms and turned to Scientist.

He facepalmed. "We both know that isn't what I meant."

"Humor." ALFIE responded with a beep.

"Uh huh.. Honestly, I'm not in the mood." Scientist responded.

ALFIE quickly spoke up. "You seem irritated." 

"I'm not irritated, I'm worried." Scientist said quietly. "Just, help me decrypt these.." Scientist added on.

"On it." Within a few seconds a weird buzzing sound was heard and then a message started playing. "You Seven members seem ridiculous to me, you think you're the good people in this-- But you don't understand what good people even are, a good person, that is something you'll never find in your team.. I've taken captive one of your members, and the clock is ticking on her survival."

Scientist nervously used his fidget toy, almost breaking it before he spoke up. "Uh, Alfie. Activate the new suit and contact The Visitor."

"The Visitor has been contacted, he's received that message." ALFIE said as the new armour quickly latched on to The Scientist.

Meanwhile, in The Infirmary.

Order sat in the infirmary next to her sister's bed, Imagined was unconscious, but most of her wounds were tended to already.

"Please wake up, sis.." Order whispered, hoping that her sister would be okay, but the thoughts of bad thinks happening again lingered in her mind.

"What if she never wakes up?"

"What if she forgets me? Forgets, everyone"

"What if she gets hurt worse next time..?"

Suddenly Imagined's eyes slowly blinked open. "Hey sis.." Order said quietly.

Origin stood in his weapon lab, going over a few plans he had in place to deal with Doctor Doom.

"No, that wouldn't work.." Origin whispered, going back to the drawing board.

Cooper suddenly stepped into the room and spoke up. "Uh, hey Origin."

"What are you doing here?" Origin asked.

"Had a few questions about some weapons." Cooper responded.

Cameron was in a vent across the room as Origin spoke again. "Really, what weapons?"

Cooper stared right at Cameron in the vent before speaking up. "Just, some snipers."

"Ask away then, but after. I have to get back to work." Origin responded as he already continued working.

"What snipers do you have in this room, specifically the left side?" Cooper said with a small cough signaling Cameron that the tea bags they planned on stealing were at the left side of the room.

Apollo chirped and spoke up. "There is, the heavy sniper, the bolt action sniper rifle and a DMR."

Cameron quickly swooped by, handed the tea bags to his brother which were quickly placed into Cooper's pocket.

"Thanks, Origin! Gotta go." Both Cooper and Cameron ran out of the room.

"What- Hey! LITTLE SHITS" Origin yelled.

The Space Lab.

The zero point had been transported there and was glowing and glistening, around the destroyed lab.

The Paradigm had started hallucinating by now, here thoughts.. Distanced into nothing.

The figure from before stood in a corner before speaking, "you're probably wondering how much longer you'll last without oxygen? You'll run out, very, very soon." The voice cut out and got more distorted as it continued. "Paradigm..."

Suddenly a loud thud was heard nearby. "Dammit..." The voice muttered as both Scientist and Visitor landed at the space lab.

Scientist's eyes darted around the destroyed space lab, landing on The Paradigm.. "Para." He whispered softly as a spare helmet auto generated from the new suit and he placed it on her so she could breathe.

Suddenly more figures started appearing around the destroyed area, protecting the zero point.

"Scientist, we have a problem." Visitor said as he pointed at the zero point.

The Order sat with Luna in The Intel Archives

Order was holding her daughter gently in her arms as she watched The Space Lab through Visitor's suit camera.

Luna wriggled a bit before speaking up. "Mummy, where's daddy?"

Order froze for a moment "He's just out on a mission to protect us sweetheart, don't worry."

"Okay, but I'm giving him a big hug when he gets backkkk." Luna said as she started jumping up and down.

"You do that." Order responded. "I'm sure he'll love the hugs." Order added on.

Meanwhile, at The Infirmary.

Imagined was laying on her bed next to Jones

"I'm sorry Immy." Jones apologized.

"Not your fault." Imagined said quietly.

Jones crossed his arms "Yeah well if I didn't, you wouldn't be lying in this bed right now." 

Imagined let out a small laugh. "You look like Foundation and Origin when you cross your arms like that, you know."

Jones nodded. "How is that important?" He asked.

"Just thought it was funny." She responded.

Meanwhile, at The Meeting Room.

Origin was standing by the meeting room table, he was waiting for Hope and Shuri to send their plans over on the Doom situation.

"Any day now." Origin said, he sounded really irritated, maybe he got pranked again?

Suddenly a loud explosion was heard nearby.

The holo-table flashed red for a second before an AI, likely Athena started speaking "Comms down, power offline, breach detected."

"Not good.." Origin muttered under his breath. "Athena, show a map of the base." Origin quickly added on.

"Just one moment." The Holo-Table started to generate the base and it's surroundings, it was those figures from before.. They crashed from some pod, how unoriginal.. But why were they here? And not at the space lab?

"What are those, Athena?" Origin questioned.

Athena quickly responded "I'm not sensing anything from my database."

"Thought that was impossible." Origin's tone sounded confused as he spoke, and flew out of one of the meeting rooms' windows.

A few minutes earlier at The Space Lab.

Paradigm was back in the fight as Visitor and Scientist were hunched over on the ground, injured.. Visitor's visor was cracked open and his bleeding face could faintly be seen.

"This what you wanted? To watch us all burn.." Paradigm yelled out.

"Now you've figured it all out." The voice responded.

"Killing us, watching us all fail will get you nowhere.." Visitor called out weakly.

"Well, then I'd like to see you stop me from doing worse.." The voice was getting darker by the second.

"We will stop you.." Paradigm quickly charged at the figure alongside Visitor and Scientist

The fight was quick and easy, till more of the figures appeared but instead of going for them, they were locked onto all of the other Seven members.

"Uh- Guys.." Before Visitor could continue his sentence he was launched into a wall destroying every part of his right arm from the sheer force.

Blood splattered around the area, as Visitor slowly stood up.

Meanwhile at 'the Intel Archives.

Order was still watching everything from Visitor's helmet but covered Luna's eyes as Visitor hit the wall and the camera disconnected.

"Shit.." Order muttered under her breath.

"Shit?" Luna repeated, confused as to what the word meant.

"Hey! No." Order almost yelled.

"Yeah, but you say." Luna responded quietly.

And for a moment the spy had forgotten what she just saw about her husband, and then her guilt slowly came riding up again..

She wished she went with him on the mission

She wished she never did all those awful things whilst working for The Imagined Order..

But most of Order's guilt remained from the day she executed Visitor's parents, why did she..? It wasn't in her control though, right? 

In the twins' room.

Cooper and Cameron were sat playing ping pong together when they heard the pod crash nearby. 

"Uh, mum? What's going on?" Cooper asked into his comms.

No response, the comms just crackled ever so slightly.

"We should go check what it was." Cameron suggested.

"Alright.." Cooper replied as he walked over to the window and looked out of it.. "There's some weird, pod.." Cooper added on.

"One of ours?" Cameron asked.

Cooper shook his head. "It's similar enough."

"We gotta warn everyone then!" Cameron yelled.

Cooper quickly spoke up. "Comms aren't working, and I have a feeling barely anything here is working, how are we supposed to find them?"

"um, well last I checked mum is with Luna at The Intel Archives, we could.. Go there?" Cameron suggested.

Cooper nodded. "Fine, I'll go get them, you go get aunt Immy, help Jones if he's there too."

Origin flew over and landed next to the pod.

But surprisingly, the figures from the pod were robots and instead of fighting The Origin..

They were doing far worse.

Each of them flying to different parts of the base and self destructing.
The Mech station's wall's slowly crumbled into nothing, the thin walls affecting the next room as that slowly crumbled, then so did the intel archives and rocket station, every important part of the base destroyed within less then a minute.

Origin quickly tried speaking over comms. "Guys we have a problem." Only for the loud cackles of explosions to be heard once again.

Order flew over the destroyed Intel Archives holding Luna in her arms

"It's okay.. We'll be okay.." Order whispered to her daughter as she was basically being a human shield for her.

Cooper and Cameron quickly flew over alongside a weakened Imagined and Jones was there too.

"What happened..?" Imagined asked.

"I don't know, but we need to get out of here." Order said her heart pounding in worry just incase she couldn't get her loved ones safe.

Cooper quickly opened a rift to reality 1235, The Foundation's home reality.

"Everyone go, me and Cameron will look for Origin." Cooper said as he gave his mother a knowing nod.

The zero point had destabilized due to the figures actions with it.

Sending that pod down.

That'll cause countless damages, or at least.. They thought it'd do barely anything, for if The Seven can fix it.

And worse, they had escaped in the midst of everything.

Visitor looked down at the zero point, he was barely clinging onto a piece of rubble, but he had a plan.. However it wouldn't be in his favor.. "Paradigm, Scientist.. If you can create a big enough energy shield we can fix it.." Visitor said weakly as he had rope tied to where one of his arms used to be.

Scientist paused and then spoke "Visitor we can't.."

"There is.. No other way Scientist.... You two have to do it Sci, our job is to protect it.." 

Scientist and Paradigm both prepared big energy blasts my hitting machines and throwing the occasional thing in the zero point.

Paradigm quietly spoke up. "You better come back, Visitor, Order will probably kill you."

"Yeah... I know... Tell her that I'm sorry.." And suddenly the energy overload happened and Visitor fell into the zero point, it slowly starting to heal itself...

12 hours later

At the reality 1235 hidden bunker.

There everyone was, Scientist and Paradigm had given Order the full mission report and she wasn't taking it well, but had to remain calm for her family.

"Mummy, where's daddy now?" Luna asked innocently.

"He's.. He-.." Order was luckily interrupted as Cooper spoke up. "Dad's out saving more people."

"He's a hero!" Luna mumbled into her mother's shoulder.

"Yeah.. Your dad's a hero...." Order said quietly.

Origin coughed a bit and spoke up. "What's the plan now?"

Scientist sighed softly. "We try and locate Vis, we deal with that.. Person, and we put an end to Doom."

Chapter Text

The sound of a small child's cries rang out through the large mansion, the mansion itself adorned with the most beautiful flowers in all reality, some would say.

Delila, the child's mother was sat next to a window, watering one of her beautiful flowers, until the cries rang out again, and the sound of an alarm started playing.

Delila's husband, Cooper soon ran over, holding the infant that was crying. "Delila, I'm gonna get you and him to safety okay? I have a plan.." The Man said urgently.

Delila hesitantly nodded and the boy stopped crying once he clung to his mother. "Mummy, we gonna be o- okay..?" He asked nervously, the boy had a speech impediment so never spoke often, only when necessary.

"Yeah.. Honey.. Of course.." Delila said quietly.

1000 years later

Visitor was standing with Order by statues that somewhat resembled his parents.

"You know, I never even got to say goodbye.. And they never got that funeral they so much dreamed of." Visitor said quietly.

"Vis.. I'm so sorry that happened...." Order whispered, holding his hand to comfort him.

Visitor took a deep breath. "If it weren't for the people who killed them.. Maybe I could've gotten the life I wanted."

"What did you imagine yourself as?" Order asked.

"An architect, or maybe a photographer." He spoke quietly, as he took Order's hand. "This island perplexes me sometimes, it seems so beautiful.. Yet it lays waste to land as its always destroyed.... Just like home."

"Vis, I need to tell you something-" Order was quickly cut off. "Not now.. Wait for the sun to rise. It is the most beautiful one here after all."

Present day, at the reality 1235 bunker.

Paradigm and Order were talking in a separate corner of the bunker, alone.

"Why did Visitor do it, Paradigm?" Order asked.

"The zero point was destabilizing, he did what he thought was the right choice." Paradigm responded.

"He could've found another way... Right?" Order asked.

"I don't know, Order... That place was.. Well you seen the damage through the suit cameras.. All we can do is hold on to hope till he comes back."

"If, he does." Origin said looking over at the two Seven members.

Many years ago, after The Extermination of 286

Order was sitting in a ship taking her, Imagined, Geno and a large group of IO guards back to the base.

Order couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, maybe she had left one or two of those people in that reality to survive? But.. She didn't see anyone left.

"We need to go back." Order blurted out as the ship arrived at the base.

"Why?" Geno questioned.

"I don't think we ki-" Order paused for a moment thinking. "Um, never mind. What was it about 286 goers that we had to exterminate them?" Order asked.

"They had valuable resources for us we could use and they weren't willing to share." Geno said as he walked away.

"Don't worry, sis. Another day, another reality." Imagined said, trying to comfort her sister.

A few years after The Extermination.

12 year old Visitor stood in his makeshift home, eating some scraps that he was surviving on.

he hadn't spoken a word since he found his dead parents.

His robot AI was the main caretaker for him.

"Life source detected." The robot said with a beep, Visitor simply nodded and looked at his little escape place he built.

As Visitor ran to the exit he heard footsteps behind him, he recognized them, but it wasn't from his caretaker.

"Who's there...?" He thought quietly to himself but didn't say a word as the person behind him stopped.

""Who are you?" The robot asked.

"That's classified." The figure said with a feminine voice.

"You've been here before.. Scans indicate, you're the one that- No, that's impossible.." The robot was starting to become confused.

"I come in peace this time." She said and put her hands up.

Visitor looked at her, he was wearing a mask that covered his entire face, and also a hood, it seems he would be dressed like any survivor of an extermination.

"W- Why are you here..?" He asked quietly.

"To give you this.." The woman responded as she handed Visitor his father's old maps and rocket launch documents.

The woman then took her hood off, revealing it to be Order.

But Visitor didn't recognize her as he was too young to remember anything from when his parents died. 

Present time.

Everyone was at The Underground base.

Except for Origin who was out on a mission, just fighting some of Doom's soldiers at a dig site.

Order was sat in a corner holding Luna.

"I miss daddy." Luna said quietly.

"Me too.." Order spoke quietly and gently as she pulled her daughter into a hug.

"He come back....?" Luna asked.

Order nodded. "Yeah.. He's gonna come back for us." And then she swept away a tear from her eye.

A few years ago.

Visitor and Order were in reality 286, Visitor wanted to go for his birthday

Order was currently around 6 months pregnant with the twins too.

"Vis.." Order paused for a second. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Just missed home.. Although the realities we're born in isn't where we are now, they still define us.. And I remember the day that it defined me." Visitor responded.

"The Extermination?" She asked.

"Yeah.. I didn't speak a single word for years after that.." Visitor said calmly.

Order took Visitor's hand "Can I... Confess something to you?"

"Of course, my sweet.." He said, Visitor sounded tired, he had no reason to be tired, he was getting the sleep he needed, maybe he was just tired of his 1000 years.

"I.. Did it." Order said.

"Did what..?" He questioned.

"I'm the one who.. Killed your parents...." Order's voice was breaking apart as Visitor didn't respond, didn't even blink he just stayed in the silence, he was now going to be a father soon enough with the very person who had killed his parents.

Order looked down at the floor, ashamed of herself, this response was the worst she could've gotten because whilst both of them liked silences, neither of them liked this silence.

Extermination Day

The Visitor's parents lay under a ton of bricks as Delila screamed "No! Please!" And she was quickly shot in the head and Cooper yelled back "YOU MONSTERS!" And then he was dead too.

"Search the area." Geno commanded as a group of IO guards went off in the direction of Visitor.

A guard quickly spoke up. "Hostile detected" When he noticed that The Visitor was a child he quickly spoke up again. "False alarm, that's all of them, boss." "Good, get back to the ship!" Geno commanded over comms.

Present day.

Scientist, Hope and Paradigm were going over plans to defeat Doom, but Scientist was more focused on finding his best friend and dealing with that new villain.

Imagined was sat by Order, Luna, and the twins

Whilst Florence was stuck next to Peely and dealing with the banana's stupidity.

Suddenly, a device beeped and a message started playing through each Seven member's helmets. "I'm surprised to see The Seven so broken down, it's great that you won't be broken apart as a team for much longer-- Because you'll all be dead instead."

"Right, who wants to go after the cyborg?" Hope asked.

Jones quickly spoke up. "I'd go but I'm trying to help the island, maybe Origin, Scientist and Paradigm?"

All three of those Seven members, including Origin on comms immediately yelled. "No!" 

"Uh.. Okay, how about some of us stay here to track zero point energy levels, then Paradigm and I will go after that cyborg, Origin, Jones and Hope will attack doom whilst Order and Imagined track the energy levels, that sound fair?" Scientist suggested.

"We don't even have a tracker on where that thing is." Jones said.

"No, but I can check my servers, if it's hacking into our tech it's in one of our servers and that message came from.." Scientist paused as he checked something. "The Seven's secure channel, so all I have to do is track down where the last message came from"

"I'm still confused." Jones responded.

 "Of course you are, blonde ding dong." Florence yelled.

Meanwhile, at a random secret Seven base.

That same hooded figure was there, with it's army, most of which were destroyed.

"I guess I'll just have to show them what they're really dealing with." The hooded figure would say, before taking off the cloak, revealing it to be none other than AMIE...

"Reality's greatest destroyer is here.." AMIE said, tilting her robotic head in a menacing way.

Meanwhile, in the zero point.

 The Visitor's eyes snapped open as he found himself surrounded by the swirling, shimmering zero point energy fragments

For a few moments, he watched on through half closed eyes as fragmented images of different realities rushed by him, fleeting glimpses of what might have been.

As he traveled through the zero point, getting to the part of this everyone would dread, he was in some memory fragment of reality Two-Eight-Six, and he was all alone, once again.

Visitor slowly walked around the reality and up to his old house on the big nice island, feeling guilt for leaving Order when he did, but what else could he have done.. Right?

Visitor twitched ever so slightly as he thought about his way out of here, when will it be? And if he does get back, what will he come back to..?

Visitor spoke quietly "I need to protect her..."

Chapter Text

Origin, Jones and Hope sat in The Underground base.

Each of them, going over different plans, ideas for a way to win this double sided war.. If they were even calling it war.

"Where are we getting with this attack plan?" Origin asked.

"We went onto it five seconds ago." Hope responded. "How are you a 'genius' at your job if all you do is ask questions?" She added on.

"Shut up.." Origin grumbled.

"You know, she's kinda right." Jones said.

"Kinda?" Hope questioned.

"Will both of you just shut up." Origin said as he was covering his ears, even though, the old man will likely lose his sense of hearing for that.

"Yeah never mind.." Jones said, before he went silent and got back to helping Hope as The Origin just watched, occasionally responding to things on his comms. "'Yeah, yeah. I know, Doom will be handled with, Order." Origin said with a frown. "This is ridiculous, Doom, working on all of these villains at the same time as well as a 'Missing husband' Problem." Origin said with a sigh after shutting his comms off and pushing Jones and Hope out of the way, he wanted to work on this now.

"Hey!" 

"Watch it Cubie!"

Jones and Hope both yelled their words at him.

"Relax. I'm working on the plan."

"Hard to relax with you around.." Jones said quietly in a 'joking' tone, yet he was actually quite scared of The Origin, so that was probably a bad idea

Meanwhile in another room.

Scientist and Paradigm were in a room with even more computers than the last, tracing the location of that message.

"Oh, Para.. Tracking on 92.18%" Scientist said as he looked at Paradigm, a small smile on his face which The Paradigm could easily tell, was fake.

"How long is it gonna take you to realize that I can read you like an open book?" Paradigm asked rhetorically, knowing Scientist might never learn.. For a while in anyway.

Scientist before speaking sarcastically. "Oh yeah, and I'm gonna fake fall while pretending to be drunk."

"That was one time!" Paradigm yelled.

"Babe, relax." Scientist said calmly.

"Why should I?" Paradigm asked as she teasingly raised her Lunar Defender, but seconds later, one of the laptops beeped, it was The Scientist's and it appears the location of Amie had been tracked.

Paradigm sat next to him but opened up the file before he could. "One of our bases.." She whispered.

"We should get going then.." Scientist said nervously.

"Yeah.... Just give me a minute." Paradigm said as she briefly walked out of the room to ask Order to look after Florence whilst she and Scientist are away on the mission.

"See you soon." Scientist said as he took his glasses off and bit down on the left temple tip of it, a habit he had recently started doing.

Meanwhile, in a secret tunnel.

Imagined and Order were having a quiet conversation, Luna was sleeping peacefully on Order's lap "You know, sometimes I wish I had kids of my own, but I know I won't be able to handle it." Imagined whispered.

"You'll get better with responsibility sis, I know it.." Order responded.

Just then, The Paradigm walked over and knocked on the mini door, Imagined quickly yelled. "Cat loving friend?" 

"Yeah!" Paradigm responded as she opened the tiny door and crawled over.

"Heyyyyy" Imagined said with a smile.

"Hey, Immy." Paradigm said as she put on her fake smile.

Order looked at Paradigm and raised one of her eyebrows. "Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Order questioned.

"Yeah, yeah I am. I just came to ask if you two could keep an eye on Florence." Paradigm spoke, getting up to leave.

"Yeah, sure. I'd love to hang out with my pranking buddy." Imagined said cheerfully.
"Yeah. I don't mind looking after her for you.." Order said quietly as she noticed that The Paradigm had already left.

At the zero point.

Visitor was stuck listening to the voices and cries that played out in his mind, of the extermination.

But Visitor was on the verge of a panic attack because of this, the sounds of the voices ringing loudly, were almost deafening to him as he hunched over behind a tree, his eyes snapped shut as the flashes of the past filled his brain, his chest had quickly tightened, making it difficult for him to breathe. "Help..." Visitor yelled out with a painful croak, yet no one was around.

He was all alone, all alone for what could be forever, but he wanted to change that..

He wanted to get back to his team.

"Order.. I- I can't...." Visitor mumbled breathlessly, finding himself unable to continue like this.

Visitor's head span as he tried to focus, he noticed a hand.

A hand reaching out to him, to help him... A hand that he'd only recognize as Order's, he knew it wasn't real, he was too exhausted to care.

Order's voice echoed through Visitor's head. "It's okay, my sweet.. I'm here..." 

Visitor quickly took her hand, finding it warm and comforting, he just wished he was actually with his wife now.

"Oh how I miss her."

Visitor thought to himself.

"I'll get back to her, no matter what it takes..." Visitor whispered.

53 minutes later.

Scientist and Paradigm were flying to The Seven base that received the signal ping, they were both nervous as they now knew who they had to fight.

"You okay?" Scientist asked.

"Fine. Honestly not surprised that it was your psychotic AI who kidnapped me." Paradigm responded.

"Sorry." Scientist apologized.

"It's fine, we'll just take out Amie and go." Paradigm responded as the duo neared this Seven base.

Scientist sighed lightly. "I don't know if I can just kill her, Para." 

"I know, but this has to be done." 

The two hovered over the base, Scientist's eyes glistening red under his helmet, and the same thing happening with Paradigm.

"So what are we waiting for then?" Scientist asked rhetorically.

At The Underground base

Tony Stark was now there and was helping prepare the plan with Origin, Jones and Hope.

Hope and Origin were already annoyed with the comments Tony was making, but Jones didn't mind too much.

"This plan is good to go if you guys are ready for a fight with Doom." Tony said as he put his Ironman suit on.

"Well, reality does depend on us." Jones replied with a smile.

"Don't get cocky." Origin responded.

"Don't get cocky? I said one thing!" Jones yelled.

"Yap, yap yap." Origin said, irritated beyond his old man brain.

Pretty much all that Origin heard now was 'Yap, yap yap.' Because he had stopped caring about what the 'Idiots' Had to say.

Origin gave Jones a death stare and Jones quickly looked away whilst speaking. "Can we just, go with this plan and fight?"

Meanwhile, the twins were travelling around the island.

"Admit it, Cameron. You got us lost!" Cooper yelled.

"I didn't though, assuming that just makes you a dick." Cameron responded.

"Boys, language!" Order yelled over comms. "Just- Come back to The Underground base for now, and play dollhouse with your sister." Order added on.

"Yeah, uh- Do we have to?" Cooper asked.

"Just, come over here before you get attacked by a looper, or worse, Doctor Doom." Order said sternly.

"We will be fine, mum." Cameron said.

"You say that, but I doubt it."

Meanwhile, at that Seven base.

Scientist and Paradigm approached AMIE, who was standing by the center of the room, her robotic body glowing an unsettling shade of red, the room was filled with many attack droids, their presence adding danger to the situation.

Scientist moved with unnatural grace and his eyes held a hint of predatory focus, Paradigm on the other hand was changed to her vampire half, her stubborn and responsible demeanor mixed with added protection, due to her instincts.

Paradigm and Scientist shared a bond, one that had grown into a deep protective streak

Soon enough, all the droids in the room were quickly destroyed, leaving just her. AMIE.

"You really think you can win against me?" AMIE asked with a threatening smile.

"In a heartbeat." Paradigm responded.

Scientist took one of his gloves off as a full vampire claw hand could be seen, which instantly changed AMIE's face to a worried look..

AMIE quickly launched herself forward at the two, one arm changing to a scythe which was quickly blocked with Scientist's vampire claw and Paradigm kicked at AMIE's feet, to which she almost instantly fell. 

"What was it you were saying about not being able to defeat you?" Scientist asked, as he was holding his glove.

"You just got lucky.." AMIE grumbled as she tried getting up but Paradigm put a foot on her robotic body. "Don't." Paradigm said.

"What are you even waiting for..?" AMIE asked, she sounded partially like a maniac, no different to normal recently.

Scientist sighed and took a shaky few breaths before picking AMIE up and tearing her in half with no mercy... "I can't do this anymore." He whispered as his glove was left on the floor damaged.

A few days later at The Underground base.

The trail on Visitor had gone cold and everyone else was thinking about calling it quits and to just, give up.. On this broken team who lost it's leader.

Hope, Jones and some other heroes were dealing with the Doom situation for now, as The Seven decided what to do, Jones would've been there, but he was needed in the fight.

So then, all of The Seven stood in the same room, making their final decision, to leave, or wait.. 

Paradigm was silent, she was just numb. She knew what no longer being a Seven member did to a person who spent their entire life for the fight just to get nothing in return and now, everyone else might even learn that, as ALFIE started counting up the five votes. "One for stay, One for leave."

"Another stay."

"Another leave."

It was up to that final vote, what would happen to The Seven next?

"And finally.. Leave."

And so they were done, the once mighty heroes who fought for everyone were just finished, gave up on a bad thing which they swore they would never do, but I guess that's how all heroes end right? Nothing ever lasts forever, even if you want it to.

And you have to learn to accept it when the time does come around, even if that's impossible to deal with, what else have you got right?

3 years later

In reality 4989

The scene opened on a toxic wasteland warehouse district.

Workers could be seen driving forklifts, placing pallets into trucks and vans and, a strange figure could be seen in the corner, between the shadows of the night sky.

He watched the workers silently, knowing that in just a few minutes from now one of them would be dead to a trap that had been set-up.

After a few minutes, he climbed the roof as the trap was about to go off and we could get a better view of the person, it was The Scientist, Joel, or as his boss nicknamed him. Killer, he was wearing torn up tactical gear, a big dark jacket, a mask that hid most of his face, except for his eyes, and there was bandages on his arms, he also had knives and binoculars on him.

Just then as everyone had left and one worker remained, the trap was set off and that person was killed in an instant. "Just like planned." Joel whispered to himself as he went and took the body for his boss to deal with.

The scene changed to a new reality.

reality 327

The Order could be seen in her new look of a grey baggy jumper with a wolf logo on it, there was a matching scarf with flowers, she had knee pads on and high boots.

Order had also gotten a strand of white hair now, from her fathers genetics, seeing as she wasn't bothered to dye it back to black it just stayed there, she didn't and couldn't care less if it were there.

Order walked over to her rundown house, after she had just taken a boat from the city to get to this small island, it used to remind her of him..

Now she has just given up on ever seeing him again, because what'll happen then? Will he die again or not?

Imagined was sitting inside the house playing dress-up with Luna as Order walked in the front door. "Hey, how was-" Imagined was cut off as Order bluntly responded. "Don't care about work, piss off, Immy!"

Cameron and Cooper both ran downstairs from their rooms, they were both 19 now. "Mum?" Cameron asked.

"What do you want?" Order said with a sigh, Order had so many demons constantly getting to her head, breaking her down and pointing out her imperfections.

Cooper spoke up "Um.. One of your old devices started beeping loudly."

"Leave it." Order said bluntly.

"But, mum.. It's on some private channel and.. We think it'd help if you listened to it." Cameron said as he brought over the device.

The message crackled. "Order I- Order I-.. There is no telling" There was more static played. "Return is inevitable.."

Order carefully took the device. "Go back to your room, boys.." She said quietly as the twins walked upstairs.

In reality 1842

This reality was property of The Last Reality.

The Origin, was living under the radar with a fake name and all, he was staying in an apartment near the edge of the purple colored land, living under the name Torion Forge, he also had a fake grey beard on and had to find a way to make himself look more powerful, like he was with The Last Reality.

Origin often worked for bin lorry services, it'd be a different one each week, mainly because Origin just couldn't handle working at one single part of the job for over a week straight.

That and his grumpy attitude.

Today Origin was going through a garbage sweep when a co-worker approached. "Hey, Torion. There's a package for you." The person said as they patted Origin on the back and the package was placed next to him.

"Got it.." Origin mumbled as he grabbed the package and opened it once he was by the carpark.

Origin slowly opened the package noticing a note in it, as a few old Seven gadgets and his old Seven suit, even though he thought he destroyed it, he quickly sealed the box back up.

Back in reality 4989

The scene opened on The Paradigm, Brie, in the bathroom of the house she lived in with Scientist, Florence and her new daughter, Hazel.

Brie washed her face before staring up at the mirror.

Brie had cut her hair short and was holding a beer bottle, a slightly drunk gaze on her face. "Fucking idiots... They gave up everything, yet they had a choice.. I gave up everything without my own choice." Brie started to have some PTSD flash backs as she smashed her head into the glass, it shattering instantly and making her bleed.

"How could they be so stupid?" Brie whispered as she took a few sips from her beer.

"The Seven never needed you in anyway."

"LOOK WHERE BEING A HERO GOT THEM AND YOU.."

"You're fucked up beyond redemption."

"You know it's true."

"EVERYTHING BAD THAT WAS HAPPENING WAS YOUR FAULT!"

Brie's voices kept telling her as she silently walked out of the bathroom.

At the zero point.

Whilst it had been 3 years for everyone else, it had only been 3 weeks for The Visitor.

Visitor had left message after message to Order, but no response.. Which made him wonder, what happened to his team?

"Ord? Where are you..?" Visitor's voice was a whisper and it echoed.

"I've been trying to find you.." 

"I need you.. I'm lost.."

"Order- I- Order.. I There is no telling when, but I'll come back and find you.. My return is inevitable.."

The very next day.

In reality 327.

Order was on the boat, she was going back to the small island, when she noticed a strange amount of bright lights in the distance, as she got closer, she realized it was her house on fire, with Imagined nowhere to be seen.

Order leaped off the boat and ran into the house quickly, noticing her sister collapsed under the stairs. "Imagined!" She yelled before continuing. "You're gonna be okay, sis." Order quickly took her sister and walked over to Luna, Cooper and Cameron, who all had small burns on them. "Okay.. Explain to me what happened." Order said sternly.

"Well.. You see we were making food." Cooper said, he was obvious lying, but why?

"Bullshit you know how to cook." Order yelled as she slapped Cooper. "Tell me what really happened. Now." Order said aggressively.

"We left the kitchen- J- just for a minute or two, told Luna to watch the stove and uh..." Cameron stopped speaking.

"YOU LITTLE-" Order didn't finish her sentence but pushed Luna down, and punched her across the jaw as the soft cries rang out, Cooper and Cameron stood in front of Luna in a protective way, their sister wasn't even seven yet and she was dealing with this..

"What the fuck.. Is wrong with you?!" Cooper yelled.

Reality 4989.

Joel and Brie sat in absolute silence watching the TV, a habit that had become normal, another thing that became normal was the two of them not getting distracted by something and going on a silly mystery quest.

Hazel slowly crept into the room and sat on Joel's lap. "Hi.." Hazel said lightly, she was only two years old, but adorable.

"Hey." Joel said quietly.

Brie shut the TV off. "Shut the fuck up, both of you." She said, a wine bottle in hand.

"What did I do?" Joel asked.

"Exist." Brie said, not really caring anymore.

Joel and Hazel both went pretty quiet after that.

After a few moments a loud thud was heard at the door. 

Joel got up, he was holding Hazel when he opened the door, only to find similar boxes that The Origin received, waiting there. "Okay.. Why don't you go to your room for a while." Joel whispered to Hazel as he put her down and she quickly ran off to her room.

Joel quickly opened the three boxes noticing The Seven suits, the gadgets and the comm links. "Uh.. Brie?" He called over.

"Piss off." She called back from the living room.

Joel walked over holding The Paradigm helmet. "You sure that's all you have to say?" He questioned.

"Where'd you get this?" She asked.

"From a box at the front door." He said with an eye roll.

"Give the helmet to someone who cares then." She said.

"I know you care, Paradigm.. But you won't accept this mantle for a third time, would you?" He knelt down to her seat as he asked.

"Stop..." Brie said as she drank some of her wine.

"You know I hear it, every time you're asleep. Your nightmares, everything that you did, and you said it was for nothing, you know I don't think it was for nothing right? And I still regret the choices that I.. Made for us to be here, I'm sorry, Para." He responded, handing Brie her paradigm her helmet.

Reality 1842

The Origin stood on the balcony of his apartment, staring down at the box which contained his Seven suit.

The smell of cigarettes hung around the air as The Origin was smoking one.

"What am I going to do?" He asked himself quietly.

He sighed. "I really don't know.. What was this even for..?" He stared down at the box again.

Just then the sun started to set, it being a glow between gold, purple and blue.

 Origin looked down at the city for a second, noticing an increasing number of Trespassers and Kymera, should he ignore it? Were they even going after him? Origin didn't know, but they definitely were searching for someone.

"Shit.." Origin mumbled under his breath.

The scene changed to reality 327

Two days after the fire.

The house was pretty banged up but Order had already managed to fix it, as she was currently working on the roof, she noticed a cloaked figure dropping four boxes on the doorstep and seemingly disappearing right after.

Order jumped down from the roof as she started moving the boxes inside, and she noticed Luna, hiding behind the sofa. "Immy? Can you help me with this?" Order asked.

"Yeah, yeah.. I'm on it." Imagined said with a yawn as she helped her sister. "Who.. Dropped this off?" Imagined asked as she looked down at her old Seven suit, which was adorned with cobwebs and spiders from it not being used.

Order pinched the bridge of her nose "Some cloake- Shit..... I'll be back in a few minutes okay?" 

"Got it." Imagined said with a nod as her sister walked away.

Order quickly walked over to the small cave and sat down, that cloaked figure appeared again. "Dad.." Order spoke quietly.

"You've changed a lot, kid." Geno responded. 

"Why are you here?!" Order yelled at him.

Geno coughed a little and spoke "Because The Seven broke apart, and I have a feeling that is not what you wanted.. Plus, you still wanted to beat me, right?"

"You're not really him, are you?" Order asked.

"Okay, okay" The person sighed. "I'm a shapeshifter, think of me as a fourth wall except when delivering those boxes, I'm changed into the person you fear most. The very person you turned into as well."

Order spoke quietly. "That's not what happened.."

"Then explain what happened." The shapeshifter said.

"Anger got the best of me.." Order said as she started to shake, comparing how she's been recently with Luna to her own horrible upbringing.

"If you say so.." The figure then changed to look exactly like Order.

Meanwhile

Visitor neared the end of his time in The Zero point, now only seeing memories of the most recent things he remembers. "I'm on my way, Ord.." Visitor said as he looked at a mirror maze in front of him. "I promise, my sweet.. I'll be here." Visitor took a few more steps forward.

"Because, its you.."

"You're my everything, Order."

"I wouldn't be able to do this without you.."

Visitor said softly to himself, trying to calm down and make him feel okay.

"This'll destroy me.."

"Or bring me back...."

Visitor thought as he completed his path in the zero point.

Several hours later, back at Reality 327.

A small rift opened next to Luna as she sat by the ocean, staring into how beautiful it was and it reminded her a lot of her father.. She missed him so much.

Suddenly steps were heard from the rift as Visitor approached and crouched down to Luna's height. "Boo, my little princess."

Luna turned around and squealed in joy as she yelled "Daddy!" And she hugged him very tightly.

"I missed you too...." Visitor said quietly as he noticed Order approaching from the corner of his eye. "My sweet..?" Order said with confusion. "How did you get back...?" Order asked as she hugged Visitor.

"That doesn't matter right now, love.." Visitor whispered.

"What does then?" Order questioned.

"Us.. And what's been happening since I've been gone.." He whispered as he took Order's hand. "This might take a while."

"We have time.." Visitor said calmly.

Chapter Text

The scene opened on Reality 327

Order was standing by the kitchen counter and Visitor was sat down by the table drinking tea, he was calm for the first few things, The Seven breaking up is not something he expected, and then when he was told about the worst things.. Obviously it wasn't going to end well.

Visitor felt his blood boil with the last thing Order had done. "YOU WHAT?!" Visitor yelled.

"Vis.. I was in a bad place." Order said quietly.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you take it out on anyone else, especially our kids!" Visitor tried to remain calm as Luna was sitting on his lap.

"It won't happen again.." Order's voice was as low as a whisper as guilt panged in her chest. "Look.. The way my father made me and Imagined, we were made so we'd be perfect, and fighters.. But I got all of that built up rage instead of Imagined having some.. And like, she did get a bit, so I know it's not an excuse but.." Order paused for a moment. "I'm sorry, Donald."

"I know.." Visitor whispered, he hated how things had been lately, he had missed out on three years of his family's life but for him and the island it had only been 3 weeks. "So where are the others?" Visitor asked, hoping they'd still be around.

"Scattered across every reality that's where.." Order responded.

"Ah, I see.." He said, giving Luna a hug.

In Reality 4989

Brie and Joel were lying in bed, it was the early hours of the morning, and they had spent a lot of their time last night not sleeping, but doing many other things, for instance, each other, Brie's eyes slowly opened as they landed on Joel who was still asleep and snoring quite loudly.

Brie quickly got out of bed and slipped on some clothes, including Joel's favorite turtleneck, it smelled of his cologne, which contained the smell of coconut, so Brie made sure to take a few sniffs of it before walking out of the room and down the hall.

Brie stopped as she stepped into the kitchen, where those boxes were. She gently placed her hands on one of the boxes, her hands feeling the same cold temperature they were on the ice moon, as she slowly opened it she stared at her old Seven suit, the memories coming back to her.... Zero fusion, being called a traitor, all of her time alone, and as she was getting these visions she flinched, the last one she saw would be relatively new though, an image of The Zero Point already starting to destabilize in her head.

"Reality will end.."

"I won't let that happen, not like I got my home world destroyed."

"I CAN'T DO ANYTHING."

"I'M WORTHLESS."

Paradigm thought to herself, as she picked up the box and threw it on the ground, whilst she started to hyperventilate. "Brie?" Joel called out from the bedroom as he got changed and was starting to walk over.

"Fuck..." She mumbled.

"What's going on?" He asked.

Paradigm shook her head. "It's nothing."

"Biggest lie I've ever heard." Joel said as he stood next to her. "Why won't you talk to me?" He asked.

"Would you even care about what I have to say?" She asked.

"I care." He responded. "So tell me, what's up?" He asked.

"The zero point is destabilizing, meaning Visitor is back.." Brie said quietly.

"Are you suggesting we go help Visitor and the rest of The Seven again?" Joel asked.

"No!" Brie yelled.

"Brie, tell me, does this ring a bell, you're just saying no so you don't make another mistake like you did with your sister, that sound familiar?"

Brie went silent, as she started overthinking.. She did always blame herself for her sister dying, if Brie had been back at her home that day, she probably would've been able to protect her sister, but instead, she took her chance at joining The Seven, only for that to crumble apart too, twice for her.

Reality 1842

Origin had put on his Seven suit, and was now flying as far away from the city as he could, the jet boots were rusty so Origin wasn't able to fly too fast. "This is bad.." Origin said as he looked down at the Pluxarian's that were grouping together.

"Just gotta keep going." Origin whispered as Apollo spoke up. "Power at 15% Sir."

"Navigate a flight course out of here!" Origin yelled.

Apollo quickly responded "I am working on that now, make a left turn at the next street."

Origin quickly took the turn, noticing it was a parade and he flew right into one of those massive balloons. "Balloon detected" Apollo said. "You think?" Origin sighed as he hit a button and flew right through the balloons, using the last of his suits power as Apollo sent him through a rift.

Meanwhile, outside of the house in reality 327.

Imagined, Cameron and Cooper were sat outside next to the tire swing, that Imagined had already fallen off of 50 times today, but she didn't really care. "Hm, what do you think they're talking about?" Cooper asked as he pointed at his mother and father.

"Looks more like a fight that they're having." Imagined commented as she swung on the swing again, and fell off in a pool of mud. "Dammit, these shorts were new." Imagined added on with a huff. 

"Aunt, Immy. It's just clothes, and they were already torn up." Cooper responded.

"Right.. But we have to go all the way to the city to get them." Imagined quickly got up as she was talking.

Not long after, Luna walked over, and sat next to The Imagined. "Hi.." She said quietly.

"Hey.. What are you doing over here? You should be having lunch." Imagined questioned.

"Mum and dad said they needed to talk."

"I bet you it's something else." Imagined said under hear breath.

"They went- Thh- They went upstairs." Luna called out with a smile as the twins started laughing.

An hour later, in Reality 4989.

The scene opened on a long tunnel, and a vault door, Joel approached it and easily opened the door as he approached his boss. "Who are my next hits?" He asked as his boss slid over 3 bounty cards, Joel looked at each one, and then again, taking a minute, the cards read. "Brie Larson aka The Paradigm" "Celest Winters" "Veridian Blore." At the bottom of the cards said bounties placed by "Hunter Sallow." Otherwise known as Paradigm's boss from her cargo delivery job.

"This all?" Joel asked, already knowing what he was going to do.

"For now." The boss responded. "The pay is 13,000 credits for this." They added on.

As Joel picked up the cards they each beeped and a small red dot showed, it was a tracker. "I'll tell you when the job is done." Joel responded as he left with the cards and the second he was out of that room he punched the vault door and made a large dent in it. 

At a piloting station in reality 4989

Brie was sat by her plane, it was very rundown due to the toxicity of this wasteland, she had a bottle of vodka in one hand, cigarettes in the other, she was taking her early lunch just to enjoy the few drops of alcohol that were left in the bottle, she coughed a little before getting another image in her head of the destabilizing zero point and her eyes widened.

"I can't, can't.."

"But it's my duty.."

"To save reality...."

Brie thought to herself, before she looked around realizing she still had work to do, and was late on a delivery that was supposed to be delivered 2 hours ago. "Shit.." Paradigm quickly said, as she got into her plane, she noticed her boss walking over.

"Brie! You should've left 4 hours ago!" He yelled.

"I was going to, but-" Brie was cut off quickly. "No, you leave to go deliver my items to the people I tell you to, and when I fucking say it. You got it?" He responded, Brie was about to speak up when she noticed Joel was behind her boss. "Um... Got it." She said as she flew away in her plane, the boss, Hunter still failed to notice Joel as he gripped an arm around Hunter's neck and snapped it. "You really should've watched your language, and could've been less of a Geno there, acting like your business needs to be perfect." Joel said as he walked away, as if he didn't just kill someone, but then again, Joel grew used to the killing, he didn't care anymore, unless it was his own family.

On the island.

The Origin appeared out of a rift and landed right next to The Underground base.

"Who's there?" Jones yelled.

"Origin.." He replied, standing up slowly as he cracked his back about four times.

Jones spoke up, he was nervous "You look.. Different?"

"Had to disguise myself at a reality that TLR have control over." Origin said, placing on his helmet.

"That makes sense surprisingly." Jones replied.

Origin glared at Jones as he spoke. "What the fuck did you just say to me?!"

"...Nothing?" Jones replied with a shrug. "But uh.. Why are you hear? You said you'd be gone forever I think, or something, but uh.. It's only been 3 weeks." Jones added on.

"It's been a lot, longer than that.." Origin responded, pissed off.

"How long then?" Jones asked, Origin didn't even want to think about the past three years, yet here he was stuck with answering this question.

Origin took a deep breath. "3 years, give or take." 

"Zero.. Uh, where are the others?" Jones asked.

"How am I supposed to know!?" Origin yelled.

Unknown reality.

A figure was stood on the land of this lava filled reality, they looked like a ghost, the figure was looking through a small orb looking at previous adventures with The Seven, seeming nostalgic or something.. Perhaps lost and confused? Nervous of what had become of the team, and what would be happening next.. Suddenly the figure spoke up. "What happened to them..? WHY? Just abandon everything.."

"Useless immortals.." The voice whispered as he slowly hovered up a bit more than before, thinking about what were to happen next.

 Reality 327.

It was now around nighttime, Visitor and Order were lying in bed together, quietly talking.

"I'm sorry I was gone for so long, Ord.." Visitor whispered as he took Order's hand. "Just don't ever leave me like that again..." Order whispered as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"I won't.. But Ord?"

"Yeah, Vis..?" She asked gently, but she was clearly nervous.

"We need to go back.. Get The Seven back together." He said quietly.

"Why..?" She asked nervously.

"Me escaping the zero point destabilized it.. We need to protect it. And-" Visitor was cut off as Order spoke. "Find the others... Of course, but I don't know if I can deal with helping everyone again, I just- I'm different now Donald.. I don't know if I can be the person people need me to be again.."

Back at reality 4989.

Brie and Joel were at home, watching TV and Joel was being really cuddly with Brie today after that hit had been put out on her, but Brie still didn't understand why her husband was being like this today. "Are you okay..?" She asked, quietly.

Joel nodded as he held Brie close, the blonde was starting to like the cuddling at this rate, although she'd be too bitter and stuck in her own head with her thoughts to ever admit it. "I love you, Brianne." He whispered.

"I love you too.." She whispered, having not said those words for a very long time due to her own mental mindset.. Which was now slowly recovering, and for once she was hopeful about it too.

The Underground base.

Origin was there with Jones and Hope, having to give his side of the past 3 years to them. "Is.. Immy okay?" Jones asked.

"I'm.. Not sure Jones." Origin hesitated for a moment. "No, no. Go back to the part where you were under their radar for 3 years until they found you." Hope replied.

"Right.. I was just sitting in my apartment, I had a weird box be delivered to my job earlier that day, containing my Seven suit, and other gadgets.. But they somehow found me, more than likely because of the box and The Last Reality's customs are the worst." Origin said calmly, yet his visor was indicating that he was not in any way calm.

"Anything else we should know?" Hope asked Origin.

"I got nothing." He said bluntly as Jones spoke up. "I'm going to go find Immy!"

"Don't do that." Hope called out.

Reality 327.

"Vis..?" Order turned to Visitor.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"What are we gonna do if we do fix the zero point?" Order asked calmly.

"We need to find the others before we do that, then we've gotta deal with Doom and the zero point." Visitor spoke, looking away.

"I doubt we'll find the others.." Order whispered.

"Have faith, my love." Visitor said with a smile that always seemed to calm Order down when she was stressed out.

Reality 4989

Brie and Joel were lying in bed together, Brie was asleep, but Joel stayed awake, normally he'd be working around this time, but not today.. He felt he needed to be close to Brie, felt the need to protect her.

Brie muttered a few words in her sleep as her grip on the pillow tightened.. "No.." "Don't.. Don't leave.." She mumbled having more visions of the destabilizing zero point, but then.. These new visions too, they seemed foggy, crowded with screams in the back of Brie's mind.. "Brie.." Joel whispered as he extended out his wings and wrapped them around her. "It's okay.." He said quietly as Brie nuzzled into the comfort of his wings. "Nothing bad will happen.. Not again."

Exactly 24 hours later.

Joel was at his second job, which was occasionally fixing devices for people, today though, it was a big energy core and he needed Brie's help with it as this core controls almost if not all of the reality. "How long will this take?" Brie asked quietly. Joel quickly spoke up "Only another, hour or so. Why?"

"Because I want alcohol." Brie said bluntly.

"Not giving you any today." Joel responded as he connected some parts to the core.

"Bastard.." Brie muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Joel asked.

"N- Nothing.." Brie said as she continued tending to the reactor core.

"Alright.." He responded quietly.

Seconds later, the reactor core started spiking, a bright blue color emitted around the room as both Brie and Joel were sent launching back and both colliding into different walls.

Joel quickly got up. "BRIANNE!" Joel yelled, barely conscious as he noticed Brie hunched over in the corner.

Joel quickly rushed over to her, the reactor core's energy still spreading as he got his wings out and used them as a shield for Brie. "Brie.. Hey.. Wake up.." Joel said as he lightly shook her, his wings starting to get destroyed as he noticed some of the energy was going elsewhere. "Wh- What the hell?" Joel whispered quietly as he picked Brie up and began flying in the night sky, towards the energy.

On The Island.

At Grand Glacier.

Origin was sat there, in an old SUV, surveying the area when he saw a flashing light headed towards him from the corner of his eye. "Shite.." He said under his breath as he leaped out of the SUV, almost hurting his back in the process.

As Origin stared at the light, he felt a power emitting out of it, he yelled out in pain, feeling it vibrating his skull.

Reality 327

Visitor and Order had ventured over to the main city using Order's boat after they had heard a loud blast.

Both Order and Visitor sat in their favorite calming silence, they had grown so used to being able to sense each other like this.

"I really missed you Ord." Visitor whispered as he took Order's hand and pressed a light kiss to it, he spoke once again. "But you need to promise me that we'll do the right thing again.. The zero point is in danger, Hope and Jones are too busy at the moment because they defeated Doom.. I saw it all through the zero point Ord.. Including you breaking, but a broken person doesn't mean you can't be fixed." 

"Oh Vis.." Order stopped as she pulled Visitor into her lap and started kissing him passionately. "I missed you so.." She whispered in his ear as she pulled back from the kiss. 

"We're here.." He whispered as the duo both looked up to find the Centre City building in shambles from the energy that arrived. "How do we think this got here?" Visitor asked.

"Not sure.. Do you have your old reality scanner?" Order questioned as she hopped off the boat.

"Of course I do. Do you know me at all?" He inquired.

Order nodded "I know you better than you do."

"Fair enough." He said quietly as the two finally approached the glowing light, feeling a hum of vibration go off on their necks. "Um.. Donald...! Help!" Order yelled in pain.

"I can't- Can't.. I'm sorry." Visitor then jolted, as he felt something within himself wake up and his heads was spinning as he randomly started getting images in his head of nearby people.

Moments later the same thing happened to Order except instead of getting visions, she instantly jumped up, doing a backflip, karate chop followed by a kick, but she then slams her body over. "Zero.." Order muttered under her breath. 

A few hours later.

The scene opened on reality 327s almost sunrise sky.

Right above the tiny island that The Order lived on with her sister, Visitor and the kids, a small rift opened, followed by a thud on the shore.

Order quickly sat up in bed, wearing only a red sweater and grey shorts. "Hmm..? What was that?" She questioned as she turned to Visitor. "Hey, Vis." She quickly shook Visitor awake. "Yeah....?" He spoke with a tired tone. "I heard something outside." Order whispered as Visitor stood up and looked out the window. "Alright.. Let's go." He said quietly as he looked at whatever was outside.

Meanwhile on the shore, the thud was revealed to be Joel, carrying Brie. "Brianne.. Please wake up." Joel spoke softly as he gently tried to shake her awake.

Seconds later, his wings went up as he felt the presence of Order and Visitor behind him. "Who are you?" Visitor asked as he stared at Joel, the toxic wasteland he and Brie lived in whilst being a vampire affected their height, Brie was 6'8 and Joel was 7'2. "Funny how you don't remembers friends huh?" Joel responded bluntly. "S- Scientist?" Visitor questioned, quite confused as Joel was still facing away from him. "Bingo, old friend.. But I don't go by that name anymore" Joel responded as he turned around.

"Wh- What happened to you...?" Visitor asked as he took a sharp breath.

"Lots of things." Joel winced as the smallest bit of sunlight touched his skin and he stepped away from the light quickly, shielding Brie with his wings once again. "What happened to her?" Order asked.

"Reactor core explosion." Joel bluntly responded, a tired expression on his face. "What do you know about the zero point destabilizing again?" He asked.

"Not much. But we need to fix it." Visitor responded.

Just then Brie slowly started to open her eyes. "WE? You're on your fucking own for this." Joel responded harshly.

Brie flinched slightly listening to Joel, and Visitor quickly took a step back. "You won't help..? What do you mean?" Visitor asked.

"You know exactly what I mean." Joel responded as Brie spoke up. "J- Joel..? What.. Why are you-" Brie couldn't even continue her sentence.

"B- Brianne.." He stuttered as he gently placed her down.

Brie got up, she stared at Joel before she spoke. "We have no choice, Joel.. The zero point destabilizes and everyone ceases to exist."

Brie sighed, she had already accepted that she didn't have a choice in the matter of protecting the zero point, she wouldn't let so many people die, not anymore. "Alright.. Fine.. But I'm not co-leading anymore" Joel responded, taking Brie's hand.

"I think I've been gone too long to be The Seven's leader." Visitor responded.

Order let out a sigh as she spoke. "What about Paradigm..?"

A month later.

At a Seven base, the scene opened on the meeting room where The Paradigm was sat down in the chair at the main part of a table, feet up on the desk as she fiddled around with a dagger in her hand, Scientist was sat in one of the seats closest to Paradigm, as she was going over a plan to protect the zero point and restore it's power.

"Alright, I will lead one of you with me to the zero point, some of you need to stay here as back-up incase any.. Unwelcoming individuals show up for us, Last Reality is already back on the island so I want, Order, Origin and Scientist to go fight the cube monsters haunting the island, Imagined you're with me, Visitor you stay here with Hope and Jones to track everything, am I clear?"

Chapter Text

The scene opened on the destabilized zero point.

The Paradigm approached it slowly with The Imagined, holding The Lunar Defender in a tight grip. "Are you okay, Para?" Imagined asked as Paradigm gave a small nod. "Yeah, I'm okay."

"We can call in some of the sentries if needed, you know?" Imagined suggested.

"In a bit." Paradigm said quietly as she stood right next to the zero point and put her hand up to it.

"What's the plan here, then? For fixing the zero point?" Imagined asked.

"It's entangled at the minute, so that's what needs fixing first. It'll need to have energy produced into it, so maybe put up these cores?" Paradigm quickly handed the devices to Imagined. "Just make sure it doesn't overload." Paradigm added on.

"You got it bestie." Imagined said with a smile. 

On the island.

Order, Origin and Scientist were fighting a large group of cube monsters together, as well as caretakers, Scientist was flying around the area, using his now armored wings that also had blades attached to them, as he kept on defeating caretakers mercilessly, Order was distracting the main cube monsters and then The Origin would assist in killing them.

"Status report!" Jones called out over comms.

"They keep coming back to life, what do you think it is, ding dong?" Scientist rhetorically asked as he tore a caretaker in half.

"Uh- What was that sound?" Jones asked over comms.

Scientist sighed. "Nothing."

"That was a caretaker being torn in half, Jones." Order said over comms.

Jones spoke up quickly "UM.. WHAT?"

"Is he going deaf?" Origin asked.

"No, that is not what that is." Order responded and she shrugged. "He's just scared I guess."

"Are you kidding? He's probably scared of his own face in the mirror." Scientist remarked as the blades on his wings chopped off a caretakers arms.

A few days earlier.

The scene opened on The Seven base, by Hazel's room, she was sitting on the end of her bed as Scientist sat on the floor talking to her. "Hey.. Daddy?" She paused. "Why does mum hate me..?" She asked.

"Hazel.. Your mother doesn't hate you, okay?" Scientist reassured. "She was going through a lot and needed to cope.. Okay?" He added on.

"So she doesn't hate me?" Hazel asked, a look of hope on her face.

"She doesn't hate you, I promise." Scientist responded as Hazel hugged him tightly. "Now, don't you think it's time to get some rest?" Scientist asked. "I wanna hear about what The Seven is again!" Hazel said with a smile as Scientist spoke up. "The Seven.. We were a dignified united group, but everything came to an end, a halt, I just let it happen too because I stopped believing in the fight."

"Do you believe in the fight now, daddy?" Hazel asked, half asleep already.

"Well I know that I have to protect you, your sister and your mother, so I guess I do." Scientist lied about wanting to be back in the fight, but he wasn't lying about protecting his family, because he was raised in one that was already broken.. Torn apart and dull.

Present day, in The Seven base.

Jones was carefully watching over a camera that showed all of the views from inside The Seven suits, and what each member was seeing, Scientist's camera wasn't working, likely due to him tearing his helmet off just for blood, Order's showed her flying through the sky, it showed Paradigm and Imagined by the zero point and Origin was, running away from something? "What am I supposed to be watching?" Jones questioned quietly.

Comms crackled and Paradigm spoke up. "You're not supposed to be necessarily watching anything, you're supposed to be simply contacting us over comms." "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure." Jones replied with a nervous laugh.

"Hmmm, were you watching all of The Origin's pluxarian porn?" Imagined snickered.

Order quickly responded. "Sis, we both know Origin only has porn of Foundation." 

"WHAT THE FU-" Origin was cut off. "Uh, who asked you to speak, Pluxo?" Scientist asked.

Meanwhile, at the zero point.

Paradigm had called a group of Seven sentries to guard the area, and got the assistance of the looper to help her and Imagined fix the zero point. "I need to pin point the exact area of the problem and then.. Activate the energy beacons." Paradigm said into her contact device.

"You heard The Paradigm. Ready those devices for us." Imagined replied into a contact device.

The Origin's vision slowly faded as he felt something hit his dead, and his cube staff snapped in half.

He reached the dream world and looked around at the darkness that surrounded him.

"What in the name of Zero..?" Origin questioned, looking around, left with only his thoughts and his first one went to The Last Reality, all the time's he watched people get tortured, killed, left for dead.. And then Origin started to remember his old torture, as well as his journey in The Seven.

Slowly the cube monsters arrive at The Zero Point as Order and Scientist were still fighting them off.

"Order, we need to stop them from reaching the zero point!" Scientist yelled as he took out a few caretakers but in the corner of his eye, Scientist noticed Paradigm getting blasted by a caretakers energy. 

Scientist stayed silent as he flew through the caretakers heart and then flew back down to Paradigm, picking up her barely conscious form. "Hey, Brie.. Wake up." Scientist spoke to her as he flew away from the cube monsters.

"Uh.. Guys? We got more of these guys now." Order pointed out as she landed next to her sister. 

"Hey sis" Imagined said with a smile.

Cameron and Cooper suddenly landed next to the two sisters, after being called in as backup by The Visitor.

"Who invited tweedle Dee and tweedle Dum?" Scientist asked.

"I did." Visitor responded over comms as he examined a few maps and energy charts. "Any by the looks of it, the battle isn't looking good for us." Visitor added on.

Meanwhile, Jones and Hope were sitting in another room of The Seven base.

Jones took a breath as he was speaking to Hope, not just about the last few years but everything, even the long life he's lived, then.. He finally got to speaking about The Seven. "The Seven, they were amazing a dignified United team you could say, they had their ups and downs, but we all do, don't we? It's only in our nature to argue with people, conflict will always be a thing and without it well without it we wouldn't really be here. Would we Hope?" He asked.

"We likely wouldn't be here.." Hope said quietly,
"The Seven were amazing, they fought the battles for all us they put up with every single fight, but you can't always win, you can't and sometimes you have to accept that, you just have to even though it hurts, and even when there's a rough day they think there's a chance to come around and save everyone, to.. Survive even." Jones stopped speaking after that as a sudden realization washed over him.

Back at The Zero Point.

Paradigm, in her weakened state suddenly activated the energy devices and she stood in a spot that would kill her but revive the zero point.

But suddenly..

The Scientist stood next to her in a protective manner.

"What is he doing?"

"Why is he doing this?"

"Especially for me.."

Paradigm thought to herself in silence as Scientist started to ponder with his own thoughts.

"If I do this she'll be okay.."

"I don't want her to get hurt because of me again.."

"I love you, Paradigm.."

He whispered his last thought as his eyes closed, both disappeared but then.. Geno appeared.

Origin slowly opened his eyes, noticing The Cube Queen standing in front of him as he tried to get up off of the floor but just let out a low grunt. "What do you want from me?" He asked through gritted teeth as she spoke up. "What does anyone want from anyone? And what do you think has led you to this moment right now? She asked, holding out a hand.

Origin quickly shook his head. "Why would I ever work for you or The Last Reality again..? You led me off wrong, then I got captured by someone else for leaving.. You killed my friends ALL of my family.. And even then your torture didn't end, so why should I?"

At the zero point area.

As The Zero Point slowly stabilized, Geno, was ready to take the Zero Point for his own. To make reality his. Once again.

Order and Imagined started to fight Geno, Paradigm and Scientist were nowhere in sight.. Was that their end? No.. There's no way.. Right?

"Don't try this dad.." Order called out. "We all know you won't win!" She added on, pulling out a new blade of her own, which looked very similar to her fathers, except on her blade it was a red crossed out Imagined Order Logo.

"You think that, you don't know it." Geno responded as he slashed his blade Order and Imagined's way, Order barely being able to block it with her own blade.

Paradigm's currently faded form hovered above Reality 659, as she watched a past memory of when she did Zero Fusion..

I'm.. Sorry.." She whispered quietly as the area around her changed to the day her sister died, the snow slowly falling on a half destroyed cabin.

No.. No, no!"

"I can't watch this again... Please!"

Paradigm thought to herself as everything just went dark, the area slowly trying to collect itself.

"Why.. WHY won't it stop..?"

She questioned, the area around her changed to The Underground Bio-Lab, where Origin was complaining, Scientist was examining the chrome, Visitor stood back, near the door. 

"I'm sorry, Sci.." She whispered as everything started to fade again.

Scientist's faded form gazed around the area, of his home reality, a harsh sandstorm that played out over the reality.

A figure leaving could be seen in the distance. "..Why am I here?" Scientist questioned before the scenery changed again, all Scientist saw was the old path he took, only once.. To get to his new boarding school, then flashes of his parents words hit him like a gut punch. 

"You're a mistake"

"You'll never belong."

"Maybe if you weren't so weird you would actually be useful."

Scientist never understood for a long time why his parents hated him so much.. Everything cut to darkness, till Scientist was slowly rewatching the meeting of how Paradigm was a traitor, and then his mission after that to save reality even when all he wanted to do, was go after The Paradigm, to help her.. 

I- I can't... Paradigm?"

"Are you there.....?"

"Was any of it real..?"

He thought to himself, as objects began to fade away till nothing but The Last Reality's Cube Cradle... "No, no.. No." He whispered.

At The Seven base.

Jones span around in his chair to face Visitor and Hope, he quickly spoke up. "I know a better way, for me to help the others."

"Uh.. How?" Hope asked.

"I could be a distraction guy." Jones blankly said.

visitor spoke as he turned around "You'll get yourself killed.

"That'd be okay.. But I won't, I know what I'm doing." Jones said with a smile.

"No one knows war like The Seven.." Visitor whispered.

The Origin slowly stumbled over to The Zero Point area, taking in everything even though he felt like passing out.

He noticed Order and Imagined losing to Geno, both of them on the floor, bleeding.. "Visitor.. We need backup." Order would say into her comms, weakly.

Cameron and Cooper were fighting off cube monsters, as all the other Seven sentries laid lifeless on the floor.

Moments later, Florence would fly over and land on the ground, assisting the twins with getting rid of the cube monsters by instantly killing 35 of them at once.

The scene cut back to Paradigm, looing more faded now as she stared at her surroundings.

The area had changed to look like The Ice Moon and the crashed mech.

As she looked around in worry she thought to herself.

"This can't be real, right..?"

"Please tell me it's not.."

"I don't want to be alone again.."

The ground started shaking as tears filled her eyes, but then she sensed another emotion from behind her, Scientist gently wrapped his arms around her.. "Hey.. I'm here, I'm not leaving you again. I swear."

Back at The Zero Point.

Jones quickly ran over to all of the chaos as he throws his shield right at Geno he yells. "HEY! Creepy old boss man!" 

In an instant, Geno caught the shield and threw it right back at Jones, it missing by an inch.

"You dare call me a creepy old boss mam?!" Geno questioned as he turned away from the zero point, and picked Jones up by the neck, throwing him into the wall as Geno then picked up Jones' shield again. "Maybe this thing is quite handy then.." Geno responded about to use it on Jones when Origin launched at him from behind, even with his foot hanging off.

"Jones! RUN!" Origin yelled as he tried to prevent Geno from using the shield but it was too late, Origin fell back to the floor breathing heavily as he stared at Jones' body, and then back to Geno who was approaching The Zero Point. "Pathetic Seven members.. Just as I told you.." Geno said, and he repeated it a few times, long enough for him to notice something else was about to happen, but suddenly.. Time just seemed to stop, and rewind, and rewind, till the very moment Paradigm and Scientist were standing next to the zero point, and when Geno appeared.

But somehow, and for some reason, Jones was still lying dead, suddenly both Paradigm and Scientist flew up into the air, and tackled Geno over to where the energy devices would be going off, and as they did, Geno slowly disintegrated into nothing. "Is everyone okay?" Visitor asked over comms.

"Geno is down, one KIA...." Imagined spoke quietly over comms.

"Who?" Visitor asked.

Order quickly spoke up first. "Jones.. Don't know how it happened th-.. The Scientist's time travel abilities.. Jones couldn't be saved.. That's... Off."

"Sending a rift back to The Seven base for you all now." Hope said over comms.

A few weeks later.

All had been quiet at The Seven base lately, it was quiet but calming for the most part.

No more villains left for The Seven to fight, The Cube Queen had retreated once she decided that The Seven could win that battle for now, but not their next.. Never their next.

But for now, it was over, The Seven had won.

Meanwhile, at The Zero Point.

A memorial was setup for Jones, Order and Visitor slowly approached it with Luna and Imagined

Visitor and Order were holding hands, whilst Imagined was carrying Luna. "I miss him.." Imagined said quietly.

Order spoke up. "We know how this job works sis.. Everything falls apart and before you know it everyone is gone."

"I know." Imagined responded as she gave a thumbs up.

"It'll be okay, sis." Order replied as Luna hugged both Imagined, Order and Visitor.

The scene cut to The Meeting room

Sailor song by Gigi Perez was playing lightly in the room as Scientist and Paradigm slow danced with each other, the two of them were both out of their Seven suits, Scientist wearing his favorite turtleneck and some loose jeans that matched it whilst Paradigm was wearing a trench coat with a belt that hugged her curves nicely. "Master's good boy." Paradigm whispered into Scientist's ear as she kissed him and he kissed back.
