(AT BRAD'S HOUSE)

We see both Brad, Jenny & Tuck playing video games, or at least they were until Sheldon barged in through the front door with an urgent look on his face

Sheldon: GUYS, LOOK AT THIS!!!

He then showed them a paper of Nora Wakeman on it, which also said, and I quote, ''bring $2,000 to the old Tremorton warehouse or XJ-9's mom/creator dies, sincerely...Smytus''

And it also has the word Ransom misspelled, which said ''Ran Sim''

(Funtime Freddy from Minecraft: THEY SPELLED RANSOM WRONG!! ''laughs like crazy'')

Brad & Jenny: (gasp)!!

Tuck: oh my goodness!!

He said as he snatched the ransom note and....pointed at the misspelled ransom word

Tuck: HE SPELLED RANSOM WRONG (laughs maniacally)!!!

Then he got bonked on the head by his brother, Brad, who was glaring at him

Jenny: Cut it out, we got to get my mom back and pay the ransom.

Sheldon: but I don't understand why they would need money, it doesn't make sense.

Brad then realized that Sheldon's onto something

Brad: yeah... why would they need money? Aren't the cluster only interested in taking over the earth & getting Jenny to join Vexus?

Jenny: huh, you know, those are some very good points, guys. But still, we got to save my mom, with or without bringing the money.

Brad, Sheldon & Tuck nod while smirking, then they exit Brad's house....then went back inside to save the game they were playing and turn the console off, then resumed to save Nora Wakeman

(French Voice: Later)

At a warehouse, we see Brad opened the doors as Sheldon peaked through said doors

Sheldon: Hello!!!

Then Tuck peaked out as well while holding the ransom note

Tuck: You misspelled ''Ransom'', Smytus.

Jenny then moved them aside and noticed her mom being on a chair tied up and with duct tape on her mouth, and she also sees smytus' eyes glowing in the shadows behind her mom

While Jenny was walking towards her captive mom/creator, above her was a cluster drone holding a sniper rifle, loaded a capsule into the weapon and turned on it's laser sight as he aimed the rifle at Jenny's back

Smytus: (thinking) that's it, just a little more and you're gone.

And as Jenny approached her mom, she felt something get shot on the robo-girl's back, which made her electrocute and then her optics went dark, making Brad, Tuck, & Sheldon widen their eyes in shock at what just happened, then they got bonked on the head as their bodies fell to the floor unconscious

Then Smytus walked out of the shadows and snatched the duct tape off Nora Wakeman's mouth

Nora Wakeman: what did you do to XJ-9?!

Smytus smirked maliciously.

Smytus: I didn't, but my cluster drone up there did.

He pointed at the cluster sniper above them, who gave smytus a thumbs up and smiled

Smytus: and as for what happened to your precious XJ-9, she's been shut down and will stay that way forever because what my cluster sniper shot at your creation was a special weapon/device i came up with... something I like to call ''the shut-round''.

He then snickered

Smytus: (chuckles) get it? It's a play on words with ''shut down'' and ''bullet round''.

Nora was stunned, then deadpanned at hearing Smytus' word play

Nora Wakemen: (deadpan) yeah, I'm starting to get it.

Then smytus stopped chuckling and glared at XJ-9's mom/creator, then smirked at seeing two cluster soldiers walk out of the shadows

Smytus: take her away.

The cluster troopers saluted and took Nora Wakeman out of Smytus' sight, then he smiled widely at his accomplishment of finally defeating XJ-9

Smytus: well, better call my queen and tell her the good news.

He then opens a cluster portal and enters it, which leads back to his command ship where he's about to tell Queen Vexus about XJ-9 being defeated, leaving the Earth defenseless and ripe for conquering

(French Voice: Hours later)

After Smytus contacted Vexus and told her about him finally defeating XJ-9 and showed her deactivated body, she smiled in being impressed at what Smytus did and decided to promote him from ''commander'' to ''General'', which made Smytus smirk widely at being promoted

Now we see Tremorton and other cities around the Earth under control by the Cluster Empire

(like this city for example)

On Smytus' command ship, located in Tremorton, we see him chilling out on his command chair smiling until he noticed that time froze up, along with everyone else except himself

Smytus: what the he-

Then he sees a vortex beinh conjured up and, well, the gold & purple orbs went through and shifted to their original forms, revealing them to be the Brother Gods of Light & Darkness

Seeing them made Smytus get into his battle mode as many arms and weapons started coming out from his back/beetle shell

Smytus: WHO ARE YOU!!??

He demanded

God of Darkness: hello Jaune.

Smytus raised an eyebrow in confusion

Smytus: huh?

God of Light: oh right, we almost forgot.

He touched smytus' forehead as his eyes widened and remembered everything about his past life, even on how he died and became the cluster general he is now

Brother Gods: welcome back, Jaune.

Then as they vanished, everything unfroze and then some cluster guards walked in while talking

Cluster Drone 1: yeah, cocaleca is a color.

Cluster Drone 2: huh, who kne-uh?

Cluster drone 1 noticed cluster drone 2's look and then saw smytus having wide eyes and breathing heavily

Cluster Drones 1 & 2: uh, are you ok General Smytus?

Smytus stopped breathing and glared at them

Smytus: yes, I'm fine.... Move aside.

He ordered as they both moved out of the general's way and see him leaving the command bridge, making both the drones stare at each other worryingly

(WITH SMYTUS)

With smytus, he entered his ship's quarters (room) and sat down on a nearby chair while having wide eyes again

Smytus: I can't believe that I got my memories back....(frowns) but it's been thousands of years, meaning I'll never get the chance to have my revenge.

He then sees a datapad with a note taped on it, picked it up and started reading the note

Dear jaune...or should I say ''smytus''

You don't have to worry about your friends and sisters, including your infant nephew, being dead because after we reincarnated you into the cluster general, we created a time gap and put it on remnant, slowing the planet's time down. In other words, it's only been a few months on remnant that have passed since you died and you will fix the planet's mistakes and have your revenge.

Sincerely.... The brother Gods.

(PS: the datapad has remnant's location on it, which will make things easier for you to find and arrive on your old home)

After smytus read the note, he smiled warmly at knowing that his friends & remaining family are alive and then smirked villainously at knowing that he'll still have a chance at getting revenge on his tormentors, including Cardin since he did kill him, despite it being unintentional and all

Smytus then got up and left his room so he can contact Vexus and tell her about who he once was and how he died and became the cluster general he is now and he'll bet that once vexus learns that Cardin killed smytus in a previous life, she will be mad on a volcanic heat level
