"I
have pulled from The Knowledge tales from the Event that ravaged two universes.
I start at the beginning and will tell the important parts, and while
there are many stories to be told, this will be quick." Chief
Archivist of the Catalogers.
“Many
things have been culled from this universe, many lives lost, some heroically,
some fruitlessly, but everything and everyone met has had an impact. Some people and places are the same
regardless of the world on which it lay, it spreads like an infection.”
“A smart
man once said ‘There is more than one of everything.”
The Event 4 - Dopplegang’land A
“SuperDude Versus Aeon”
“Remember when we cross over to
protect the device on your waistbands, it is the only thing holding you
together in that world. If you lose it
you will be pulled back to this world, because you will act as a negative to
the positive of their world, pushed away from them. We do not know if the transfer will be safe,
you might perish.”
“We are attempting to align you to your
counterpart and you should appear near them.”
Aeon hovered
in the air in front of Superdude and smiled.
“So you are the one who is just like me?” He looked him up and down as SuperDude did
the same in return. “My abilities are
many and are very powerful, they stem from a sun I ate during the imprisonment
at the hands of my people. I was forced
to evolve and destroyed them with the very thing I was imprisoned with, it was
quite ingenious really.” Aeon paused his
speech as SuperDude stopped and stared at the symbol emblazoned on Aeon’s
chest, two angels ripping apart a helix of DNA.
“You are making me tell you all of this somehow are you not?” SuperDude shrugged and smiled back at him.
“It’s part
of the abilities within me, I inspire confidence in those around me, and I make
other people better.” He explained as Aeon
snarled in response and attacked him.
SuperDude caught his rushing fist and launched into a grapple that Aeon
reversed and twisted free of. “We are
equally matched and you will not win.”
“Oh I will
win, and I know your one real weakness, this place, this world, I will take the
fight to it if you do not surrender to me without a fight. Your people attacked my world and you will
pay for it.”
“My
people, what are you talking about?”
“The one
called Reader and his Family attacked my home and are now the prisoners of
war.”
“I really
do not think that’s the greatest course of action seeing as we have only just
met and that’s a very bad idea.”
SuperDude shrugged back at him. “I
will be better than you because I must be, and you will never have a chance to
hurt this world.” In a blink SuperDude
was on Aeon and then they were hurdling through space.
Nearby…
Android X
watched the exchange and his onboard computer systems tracked the trajectory and
calculated their destination as the asteroid belt just past Mars. It appeared as if SuperDude had warped
spacetime around him and blitzed them across the distance in several hops.
He retrieved
files and began to cross reference the battles being waged across the Earth and
watched readings begin to flood in as more and more cracks in reality began to
appear.
This Event
that were a part of was going to end all of creation.
