So... That Happened
Chapter 15: Arc 4: The Master; Chapter 2: It Begins...
Previous Chapter Next ChapterChapter 15 Alt Title: Boredom and a Call to Action
One of the few things that had always pissed me off about the Multiverse at large was the fact that there were so many goddamn factions in it that were only mildly aware of each other, and each thought they were the hottest shit on the silver platter.
...What? Nevermind. Case in point: the Universe Repair Squad. They are in charge of repairing any Universe that gets utterly wiped out... as long as there's still something to put back together. Sure, they do their job well, but they never read the memos that tell the Void denizens that 'this Universe is condemned' or something, then the SysAdmins, me... and the rest, have to blow it up again.
Then there's the Undertakers, a relatively new Squad that takes anything that has Void energy in it when it dies, and disposes of it in the Void... like Displaced... and the unlucky... like, REALLY unlucky SysAdmin... and... everything touched by the Void really. They're fine, but they never consult the SysAdmins and always accidentally glitch the systems whenever they grab a corpse. Thankfully, the systems are resilient and auto-repair almost immediately, but still... problems could be avoided through consultation and better communications.
"Ah, Christ, not again..."
Ah yes, the current situation: my subordinate, Syanka Smoke-Wisp, had recently destroyed a condemned Universe, but the Repairmen came and fixed it... so now I need to destroy it again, then wait for them to show up and then yell at them to read the GODDAMN MEMOS. Seriously, our headquarters are all in the same Void- Building at the 'center' of the Void, and Memos are always forwarded to the Holo-Billboards in front of every single establishment... and inside each 'recharge station' at the center of each Branch.
I just realized you may be wondering exactly what the Void as a whole looks like. Well. Imagine if you will a vast and sprawling metropolis, like New York City. That is also infinite. And also extends like a sphere instead of a flat plane. That is the Void. Each Building is a different Multiverse Branch, some big, some... less big. At the center is a large, formless building thing that contains the 'Origin Copy' of every last thing that has existed, exists currently, will exist, and will never exist. That, dear readers, is central HQ, home of the SysAdmins, the Repairmen, the Undertakers, the Tech Support Guys, the Shopkeepers' Guild, the Artificers' Guild (Ever see those creepy weapons dealers in videogames? They work with the shopkeepers a lot), the Programmers (they update the coding of the Void on occasion), the Powers That Be (The ones that tell us where and when to go... for really important things), the Fear Squad (Slenderman, Cthulhu, Boogeyman, etc), the Punishers (they take out anyone that threatens the entirety of the Void), and the Denizens (Basically anyone that learns to leave their Branch, but doesn't want to join a specified group... they just kinda... sit and do odd jobs really).
The Powers That Be are the top dogs, seconded by the SysAdmins. Then Tech Support, they handle the Branch Repairs when Admins are busy inside the Universes and such. Then Programmers, then Repairmen, then Undertakers, then Fear Squad, then Punishers, then Shopkeepers, then Artificers, then Denizens.
Thank gods I'm an Admin, else I'd have a lot more restrictions on my travel pass.
So, there I was, waiting for a Repairman to show up... bored out of my (metaphorical) skull, just waiting...
"Oh come on! I just rebuilt this thing!"
There he is.
"Serviser... a pleasure to see you again...."
"Ah... did we repair a condemned Universe again?"
"Yes... you really need to start reading the memos, y'know? They are posted constantly... and they're in bright, eye-catching neon, for chrissakes."
"Ah...heh...I'll just go tell my boss..."
Situation Cleared! +3 EXP!
That happens from time to time, depending on where I am in a specific Branch.
Gods... that was the last thing I needed to do today... let's just... waiiiit a minute... what's this?
"THE TIME HAS COME!"
Oh-h-h-h-h... Heheheheheh... AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
SO.
"I call now to those who have allied themselves to me! To all who have replied to me, to those I call friend! To my fellow Displaced who fight on the side of the light, I CALL TO YE! The time has come! To those that hold my Token, find a reflective surface which ye could walk through, and I shall guide thee!"
THE TIME IS HERE.
"And to Teridax, I tell ye this. Come to me. Fight me. The time has come for us to settle this. But know you this: The Golden Dawn shall ne'er fall before your League of Shadows! I have faith in those that ally themselves with me! I have faith in my friends, their power, and faith in the power I wield! Even a drop would be more than enough to send you into the Void Eternal for all eternity!"
IT'S TIME TO CHEW BUBBLEGUM AND KICK ASS!
AND I'M ALL OUT OF BUBBLEGUM....
