Sylvie woke up in what seemed like a bird's nest that was in a broken-down vehicle. After standing up and dusting herself off, she took in her surroundings. She heard thunder rumbling outside. Was there a storm coming?

She broke the windshield of the vehicle and stepped out. She couldn't see a storm, so why was there thunder?

Suddenly a purple cloud came down right behind her, turning the vehicle into rust. She bolted away from the storm, which was now chasing her. The sky above Sylvie turned purple as the storm picked up speed behind her.

As she jumped over a hill in an attempt to escape the storm, Sylvie accidentally touched a part of the storm and her magic activated.

It was all a blur, but Sylvie knew what happened. She received a vision of something behind the storm. A castle? No, it was too small to be a castle. A citadel, maybe? Sylvie didn't linger on the building for too long, because the thing circling it was much more important.

The Sacred Timeline.

That was it. That was where the man behind all of this was hiding. Was Loki there too?

Sylvie's magic wore off and she was pulled back into reality. She darted away from the storm again. If she was going to get past this monster, she was going to need to lose it first.

Fortunately, a car came and swerved to a stop right in front of her, its horn blaring. Its door swung open. Sylvie didn't ask questions as she ran in. However, she kept her guard up. She didn't know if this person was against her or—

"You!" She exclaimed when she saw who it was.

"Shut the door," said Mobius, "we still got a situation here. By the way, you should be careful just jumping into a stranger's car like that."

Mobius sped up to try and outrun the storm, but the storm still gained on them.

"Watch out!" Sylvie shouted as a part of the storm dropped in front of them.

"I see it," said Mobius. "I see it."

"Really?" Sylvie asked. "Because you're driving right towards it."

"God, you really are Loki's friend," Mobius muttered. "Hang on!"

Mobius made a sharp turn, hoping to lose the angry cloud.

Things weren't going so great for Loki (TVA), either.

Their hideout was raided by an army of Loki Variants, with one that looked identical to Loki (TVA) as the leader.

"You b*stard!" Loki (Classic) spat at Loki (TVA) who was standing off to the side. "You led the wolves to our door."

Loki (TVA) couldn't see how that was possible, because he just followed them to the hideout. But he didn't have the nerve to question anything anymore, so he just stayed silent.

"We prefer snakes to wolves." Loki (President) said.

"I've eaten both." Loki (Kid) said. "They die just the same."

He stepped forward as if to confront the army, but Loki (Boastful) put his hammer on Loki (Kid)'s throat.

"Apologies, my liege." He said maliciously. "I betrayed you, and now, I'm king."

Loki (TVA) squinted towards him. What's happening? He thought. Was I really this terrible?

"About that." Loki (President) said, stepping forward. Suddenly, his army pointed their weapons towards Loki (Boastful), Loki (Kid), and Loki (Classic).

"You can't be serious." Said Loki (Boastful).

"Come on." Loki (President) replied. "What did you expect."
