Sean's eyes flew open as he remembered everything.

He had to hurry.

Chase watched as everything under him faded away into nothing.

Everyone but Anti fell down into the black void.

Chase could  barely hear the others in the darkness around him shouting and yelling.

They were presumably falling to their death, after all, if there was a ground below them.

Chase could feel his eyes getting wet and he realized he was crying.

'No. . .. you don't deserve to cry. . . don't you dare cry' he berated himself and shut his eyes.

His life was flashing before him in his mind. 

How he grew up, when he met Stacey and they had their son.

When he lost them and killed them both in that head-on collision.  . . 

'I don't deserve to cry . . . after everything I've done. . . .  I did it to myself. Stace. . . . Grayson . . ..  I'm not ready.'

He could see them smiling at him in his head.

'I still have a lot to do to fix things! I can't let it end like this!'

He wasn't ready to die yet.

"I'm . . I'm not ready to die" Chase whimpered out, "I'M NOT READY TO DIE!!!"

His tears blurred his vision.

"ANTI!!! I'M NOT READY TO DIEEEEEE!!!!!!"

Suddenly in a flash of green lightning, a hand grabbed his own.

Chase's breathe left his body.

"ANTI!"

They glitched out of the darkness and when Chase opened his eyes, he recognized his surroundings.

"Th-this is. . ."

'Anti' pat his shoulder, "I'll be right back. I have to go back and get the others"

In a flash, he was gone again.

And in a matter of seconds, 'Anti' popped back and forth in and out of the house with the others.

Until finally, he was back with Engineer Mark and Marvin. Turns out, Marvin had tried to get to Engineer Mark first before 'Anti' could get to them all.

But it looked as though obviously 'Anti' was faster.

Chase let out a breathe and lunged at 'Anti', hugging him around the neck, "Fuck . . ." he cried into his shoulder, "I thought we were all dead, man"

'Anti' pat his back, "I know. . . . It's okay now, though. Now WE have the upper hand"

Jackie sighed and sat down on the couch, "You teleported us to Chase's house. I thought he was being evicted before?"

'Anti' nodded, "Right. . . but it was the only other place I could think of for the moment . . . . " he faded off into silence.

Henrik watched him curiously, "You're holding zhe crystal"

'Anti' looked down at it in his hand, "Yeah . . . I guess we have an understanding now. I remember who I am"

"That's great!" Marvin clapped his hands, "So. . . who are you, I guess? I suppose getting to the crystal WAS your entire mission, right?"

'Anti' nodded, "Yeah. . .. . So it's a long story but. . ..  I'll try to make quick. My name is actually Sean. I'm from another multiverse. I was with someone when there was a meteor shower and this crystal fell to the ground in front of us. He grabbed it while I was trying to get him not to and then . . . I guess I turned into Anti and lost my memories."

Henrik nodded, "Right. . . . alright zhen. . . and who vas zhe other person? I have an assumption but. . ."

Sean nodded back, "It was Dark. . . . or. . . at the time, his name was Mark"

Engineer Mark gulped, "But I'M Mark"

Sean shook his head at him, "He's a variant of you. We're all variants of each other. . . . I have to get Dark to take the crystal and let it show him the truth, too. That's the only way to fix things and stop him from destroying the other multiverses. Lord only knows how many he's already destroyed while we're talking."

Chase was. . . floored, really.

Anti was. . . actually a guy named Sean?

"Wait  . ..  so where you're from . . . you have powers, too? What do you even do?"

'I don't think that's important right now' Jameson signed, 'We should focus on finding Dark.' he tapped his little watch, 'Time is ticking'

Sean looked out of place but nodded, "I have no idea how the crystal gave me powers but in my multiverse, Chase, I was a lot like YOU, I guess. Only difference is I have a girlfriend named Evelien and a cat named BB. I make YouTube videos, too . . . I'm just . . . a normal guy in my world"

Chase narrowed his eyes at him, "How many subscribers do you have?"

Marvin glared at him, "Is that really important right now?"

Sean rolled his eyes, "A little over thirty million"

Jackie snorted, "HOLY SHIT!"

Chase looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole, "B-but. .  I only have like. . . a couple thousand. . . it's because of the CAT, isn't!?!"

Sean just shook his head, " . . no."

"Anyway" Henrik curbed the conversation, "Ant- I mean Sean. . .can you still feel Dark? Could you teleport to him while you still have zhe power to?"

Sean rolled his shoulders back and with the crystal still in his hands, he closed his eyes and tried to feel for him.

Little did he know, that it was the crystal that was helping him, continuing to let him keep his powers until the problem was eventually fixed.

Sean suddenly felt something, "Dark . .and Wilford. . . I know where they are. I think only Marvin and Jackie should come with me, though."

"What?! I don't think so" Chase shook his head, "We're in this together, dude, ride or die. No turning back. Fuck you for saying otherwise"

Henrik nodded, "Eh. . .vhat HE said. You might need my expertise, yeah?"

Jameson looked just as determined to go with them.

But not Engineer Mark, "Can .. . Can I stay here? No offense. . ."

Dark punched Wilford across the face, making him fall over into the snow, "DAMMIT, YOU IDIOT! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!"

Wilford wiped some blood off his lip, "Damien, it's alright! You worry too much!"

"I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING DAMIEN! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!" Dark screamed at him, losing his temper completely, "YOU FUCKING PSYCHOTIC SOCIOPATH! NO ONE FUCKING LIKES YOU! JUST STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!"

Wilford just stayed sitting on the ground, a little taken aback suddenly.

"Oh . . . . . .  well . . . I didn't know you felt that way, Damien"

Dark wanted to strangle him but the look in Wilford's eyes was . . . difficult for him to comprehend.

It was a feeling he didn't want to know.

Looking around, Dark look in where they were. They were in a clearing surrounded by forest where it was windy and snowing. A small cabin was nearby in the distance but it looked abandoned.

"I have to get back to the warp core and try and recalibrate it. I didn't want to destroy ALL of the universes. Just all but ONE. But at the rate it was going, I need to hurry before it gets to the one I wanted to keep"

He took one last look at Wilford who seemed to be busy thinking about something.

"No offense, William . .  but I hope we never see each other again"

He was about to leave Wilford there when a fist came out of nowhere and punched him across the face!

Dark landed in the snow near Wilford and looked up.

"Damn you lot. . . you just don't give up, do you?" he slowly stood back up on his feet.

He locked eyes with 'Anti' who had punched him while the others stood behind him ready to back him up.

Sean stared at Dark . . no. . .. Mark.

He remembered that day in the forest.

How they screamed and yelled at each other.

How their friendship diminished into almost nothing.

Sean felt horrible for how he left things. He didn't hate Mark. He WANTED to be his friend again but it was just so hard with everything that they were both doing and working on.

With both of their anxieties and dark thoughts suppressing them.

Dark looked down and saw the crystal in Sean's hand, "You. . . You're HUMAN now. . . . and. . . .and you're holding the crystal . . . .  how? Why?"

Sean swallowed, "M. . . Dark . . . please. You have to trust me. Here. . . take the crystal. Let it show you what it wants you to remember"

Dark looked at him as if he'd grown another head, "Are you out of your MIND!? I'm not touching that thing with my bare hands! It's clearly corrupted you! Now let me go back to the warp core and MAYBE I won't let you die with the others? Huh? We can go back to our original deal . ..  if you listen to ME"

Sean shook his head, "Dark. . . you CAN'T go through with your plan. Your name isn't Dark. It's MARK. You are Mark Fischbach. You live in LA and work on movies and YouTube videos. Like ME. Just take the crystal and it'll all be clear" he tried to step towards him to give it to him but Dark stepped back.

Dark actually looked. . . amused, "Are. . are you serious? That's the most bullshit story I've ever heard! How'd you come up with that one!? The internet?!"

"Ant. . . Sean" Jackie got his attention, "You're not gonna get through to him. He doesn't WANT to listen"

". . ..  I know" Sean sighed and put the crystal in his pocket, "I'm gonna have to MAKE him listen"

Marvin stepped up to his side, "I got your back"

Henrik pat Jackie's back, "You too. Go kick his fucking arse"

Jackie was surprised by Henrik's confidence in him but smiled. That was the best encouragement he could have asked for.

Jackie cracked his neck and stood at Sean's other side.

Chase glanced to Henrik, "You think that cabin has anything useful in it?"

"You mean a gun?" Henrik smirked, "Perhaps." he glanced to Wilford, "I have a different plan, though."

Chase nodded, "Stay safe, doc"

Jameson sighed to Chase, 'I'll come with you'

Sean took in a deep breathe and readied himself.

The wind was cold and the snow froze on his skin but he was ready.

Dark  . . No. . . MARK looked as though the cold didn't bother him at all. He was getting a crazed look in his eyes, ready for a fight.

But Sean didn't see him as a monster.

He couldn't, now that he knew the truth.

All Sean knew now. . . 

Was that he needed to save his friend.
