And so the eight fought each other, clashing across the world, in strange alien floating cities, in space stations and in dark forests... Yet despite their trials and tribulations, this was not the end.For their meeting was not merely one by coincidence, but one caused by a clash within the multiverse. A nexus connecting each of these worlds had begun to shift, and change, changing the world, mixing them into each other.The universes are clashing, and if this is not stopped, soon there will cease to be eight universes, and there will merely be one chaotic mess as the universes destroy each other.
Gaute was the first to witness it, first upon the space station, in one place were two stations, one inhabited, one not. And yet they kept fighting. This was not a mere hallucination, but rather the intermingling of the worlds. And so it spread, and a coalition at the United Nations was called, as such events began to multiply.
There is far more than people had experienced, worlds that can be reached even when the infinite abyss of space is unconquerable. But to even investigate was beyond the capabilities of the Earth, who to contact, who to find? For Gaute it was simple. One person who had already travelled the endless universes. Faeris of Armageddon, from a world in which Earth was naught but a temple to a corpse, where cities were as large as worlds. It was he Gaute would seek out.
Faeris rarely stayed in one place for long, and Equillibrium for a long time had focused on the Eternal Empire. Faeris found one of his prospective recruits in turn, askign him for help, with an event that Equillibrium was all too familiar with... A clash of universes. One that must be ended were Gaute's or indeed anyone's universe to remain. Faeris would find himself back in this world of worlds. Not merely to recruit from it, but save it.
And all while the material world scrambled to find the science, the Soul Societies of the afterlife began to see the winds change. Similar to other events, but different in an unsettling way. Far from how it was done, the Soul Society had already seen what would happen if it not ended, the afterlife and the material world would both be obliterated if not stopped. More and more souls filling into teh afterlife, far more than should be possible, if left unchecked, the balance between life and death would be tipped over entirely, and with it the destruction of both the afterlife and the material world. Gurindai, who had fought the warriors from other realms would be given authority to act as he saw fit, to save the realms, and the souls of all the world.
For the demonic arm life continued as normal, escaping with their life they continued to live in the body of Eve. Living off of the life force. Eve was a strong body, and not likely to rot any time soon. And yet that normalcy would cease to be, for his world was subject to the most change. Gravity changes, souls lost and won back, the laws of reality were failing to take hold, and soon entire cities were going to collapse under the weight of multiple reality crashing through. The situation was untenable, and were Sigoi going to survive, he would have to save this world... Or leave more likely, as his world began to become the pin holding the world together, sucked into the oblivion of the Nexus. Sigoi would in turn... Be the first to find out, that this was no natural phenomena, but one action taken.
Uorag, one monster of the multiverse, countless realities swallowed in unending hunger, now redeemed worked with Equillibrium to right the wrongs of his former life. He helped to keep the balance where it was needed, saving worlds rather than destroying them... And yet his travels would bring him backto where he began his new life. The Old Man Uorag was returning to his new beginning, this time to save it, from another who would consume the whole reality.
For the warrior of the Three Kingdoms, he may not be a mage, but he was a spirit, closely connected to the afterlife. He felt the shift in universes more keenly than most, and realized what was occuring. And if the universes began to cllapse on each other, who knows if even Li Lingqi could survive it? And so Lu Bu, would warn Li Lingqi, Lingqi, not one to accept defeat and die, would go forth. Through blood, sweat, and iron she would end whoever it was so thoughtless destroying their realities with their disgusting magic.
Star Guardian may not have understood the particulars, but her adventures had given her a keen sense of the balance of the multiverse. As the worlds began to merge, the disturbance in her feelings resurged, larger. Chasing that disturbance leads the magical girl to the nexus of their worlds.
Genichiro came home, but the land he had fought for so severely had crumbled before his very eyes, his failure in the tournament becoming a reflection to the failure in his lordship. Now he has left his kingdom, of which he had lost all his property, and went into the mountains. Training himself, to be stronger, faster, better than before. In order to become a truly great warrior... And so the multiverse saw fit to test his mettle, for the universes, they were colliding, threatening to crash into each other and be obliterated in the process, all at the hands of another tyrant...
Farseers look into the void, and witness the time of ending. Can the eight work together and save their worlds from utterly annihilation? Or will their world fall apart, as so much cosmic dust in the wind?
