After being contacted by Galaxynyan about the events that had happened, we rushed to the TA universe to help out. The place had been wrecked, and dimensional magic from the erased locations had threatened to destroy the balance. We immediately got to work. Duri and Sayaka were assigned to help out a new friend of Galaxynyan's, Gloien, who had trauma, while the humans and the half-demons were sent to deal with the aftermath of the earthquake that had shaken up the world. Us demons helped out too, while the Youkai, CGs and others went to care for the kid Youkais. One of them was Flarernyan, who ended up causing some events. 

Come the first night, and we had finished the evacuations. The next day would be reconstruction and the set up for temporary homes. I had been walking around with Taeyang, Equestro-nii, Junpei, and Jinpei when we noticed Flarernyan heading into an alley. Concerned, we had gone there to bring him back, only to see him conversing with the person we could only assume to be the mastermind behind everything (his name was revealed to be Abigor later on). We confronted him about it, but Abigor sent us away through a vortex to a world we haven't unlocked (since there are new worlds that have locks on them). 

Upon arriving there, we met up with alternate selves of our Seventeen, who had been cast into exile here after Ben won. The world, it seemed, was a Bad End AU where Ben had won the battle in A Grey Reality and could now control reality. Taeyang and Jinpei were the confused ones, but I quickly explained the scope of what Ben had been capable of before we purified him, which helped them understand. 

Anyhow, we convinced them to help us fight Ben's tyranny, and formed a plan to achieve that goal. The world we had been sent to was a domain he had made as a prison of sorts, and he had also turned some people into monsters and sent them there, so we just had to purify them and cause chaos. Jinpei and I worked to make the potions according to what Seungcheol-nii had witnessed during the outings he had had for food, and we were ready to get the plan going after establishing contact with the others in the TA world (that was quite easy thanks to what I had learned regarding machinery from Leo). 

At 11 pm one day later, we evaporated the potion into the air, allowing those who had been transformed to revert back. Once it was complete, Seventeen led the riot out of the world, and we slipped through so we could get to Ben's castle. 

Once we got there, we launched an attack. It was quite the scene, seeing that it was just 5 of us, but we managed to sneak through to the throne room, where we engaged in battle. The others joined us soon, and we managed to purify him with our Ben's help, who had been in the middle of helping Endeavor and Kurogiri get their redemption arcs. Flarernyan was also a huge contributor to the win, having stumbled across the others as they were getting ready to leave after being exposed as the traitor to his friends. He helped a lot, and after we beat Ben, we forgave him and told him to stick with us for now. After saying our goodbyes to the world, we headed back and finished up the things we had to do before going home, but of course, we didn't forget to send Flarernyan to the FCs, who would probably help him better than us.

But either way, it was quite the adventure, and I'm just really glad we had stopped Ben. 

Now if only I could figure out why Abigor seems so dedicated to destroying the connections between Undiscovered Natures and fictional characters...
