"Huh. I suppose you're supposed to be me then." He said, stepping back. "Except you're a good- no, weak person." He mocked, smirking at me.

"Hey, ya stupid fleshbag!" Rivet shouted, giving him a glare sharp enough to kill. "Don't talk about him like that! He's better than you'll ever be and you know it!"

He laughed a sour, mocking laugh and stepped towards Rivet, placing a hand under her chin. "And I suppose you are the belligerent hero girlfriend then. Aren't you?" Rivet growled in response. "I'll take that as a yes." He stepped back, examining the three. "If it isn't obvious, I'm the bad guy." He said, placing his hands behind his back. "The name's Enno, and yes: I'm here to ruin your day."

I spat at Enno and gave him a threatening glare that matched Rivet's, not realising until now just how much I could hate myself... or alternate universe me anyway. "You bastard... what do you want from us? Why are you helping Nefarious of all people?"

Enno slowly began to walk back and forth in front of us, examining his hands as he did. "The reason I chose to fight alongside Dr Nefarious here, is that he has power." He clenched one fist and stopped speaking, then continued. "And I need that power. How else am I going to enslave your Earth, and every other floating dust rock in this universe without it?"

Both mine and Rivet's eyes widened at what he had just said, and we looked at each other, both processing the new information. "My/His WHAT?" We asked at the same time, our eyes now glued on Enno.

"Oh... you didn't know?" Enno stopped walking and looked at us. "Rivet, Y/N. Earth and this entire world beyond the Milky Way have been here the entire time."

"Wait, so you- you're saying that we haven't explored all the known universe yet?" Rivet asked, starting to look a little more hopeful. "Y/N, this means... your Earth is here! You don't have to le-"

"SHUT UP!" Enno yelled, making both of us freeze. "If you want to live past the next 5 minutes, I advise you keep your mouths closed and your ears on." He looked between the two of us for a moment, silent, before continuing. "Anyway, I don't come from any of your universes. Where I'm from, we were found by extra-terrestrial species and brought to this very location to be 'quizzed' about our world." His eyes slid over to Ratchet. "In this very place, where I am standing now, was the hero of that universe. You."

I looked over to Ratchet and his jaw had basically dropped. Figures as much... I too would be surprised if I was told that another version of me had fought and possibly beaten this douchebag that had us captured currently.

"Don't look so relieved yet, you three." Enno interrupted the moment, looking at each of our faces. "I killed that Lombax. That Universes only real threat to me taking it all for myself. The Governments of Earth were in, and slowly - planet by planet, using Lombax technology, we found and conquered every planet you know and love. We found more Lombaxes who made our weapons, we found more Morts that built us ships and bases. We had everything." He stopped again, looking towards Dr Nefarious, who was at the back of the room, taking this backstory in for the first time, just like us. "And then the rifts began to show up and I was pulled into this universe. I watched it all happen."

I froze at the last sentence Enno had said. "Y-you mean...?"

Enno nodded, stepping closer to me. He put his face directly in front of my own and placed a hand on my implant. "I watched you take the blow for that little silver robot. That's how I knew you were the good one of us for sure. And I thought you died on that rainy overpass." 

"Well, I suppose it sucks to be you. Because now the three of us are here..." Rivet looked at me and Ratchet, and we both nodded. "And we're gonna kick BOTH of your asses!" She exclaimed as she rushed forward, charging into Enno.
