Ozzy POV
I just stare blankly at what's before me. Only a couple feet in front of me is the being I've only heard tales about.
Ozzy: "What do you mean you need my help?"
He holds out his hand.
Creator: "I'll show you."
I look at his hand. I then stare at Maple. She nods, offering a smile.
Maple: "I'll be waiting for you."
Matching her smile I follow Creator through the portal. Through a series of flashing lights we arrive at our destination. Looking around I smile seeing my multiversal cousins.
Ember: "My my, you've really grown."
Axel: "What're you, fifteen?"
Ozzy: "Eighteen."
Zander: "Crap. Now you got us all feeling old."
Lily: "Late twenties to early thirties ain't old."
Chase: "Yeah. We're all still in our prime."
We all share a laugh. Just then a portal opens. Through it walks uncle Iron helping someone unknown. The whole mood shifts.
Zander: "How is he?"
He's sat down. A cloth is taken off his right side. My eyes widen seeing the majority of his right arm missing.
Axel: "Fuck."
Ember: "Is this gonna slow you down?"
He looks at his lack of an arm. Just then ice consumes it. It finally shatters, taking the form of ice armor. He then gives a thumbs up.
???: "I'll drain my aura trying to maintain it. Fraid my fighting days are up."
Ozzy: "Ok. Can someone please catch me up?"
Lily: "Yeah. I think it's time you told us what happened Dos."
Everyone looks at him.
Dos: "It all happened so fast. One minute I'm doing my job. Then the next, all hell broke loose."
3rd POV
On Remnant 95 we see Dos in a lab coat. He looks at a screen then jots notes down. Just then a man with a graying beard walks up to him.
???: "How we looking?"
Dos: "Good. This thing's sleeping like a baby."
???: "Then looks like it's safe for lunch."
They off to lunch. As Dos munches a petite female walks up to him.
???: "Got those reports you asked for."
Dos: "Thanks Nilla."
Grabbing the folder she walks away. Meanwhile Dos opens the folder, looking it over. His eyes skim over the various numbers. They then look in on a specific section.
Dos: "That's concerning."
Standing up he heads to the one in charge. Entering her office the boss looks up from her computer.
Robin: "Dos, what brings you here?"
Dos: "Got something you might wanna look at."
He lays the bookmarked section down. She looks at it.
Robin: "What am I looking at?"
Dos: "We use a lot of power to keep a sharp eye on that thing in the basement."
Robin: "Right."
Dos: "And that amount stays within a certain threshold."
Robin: "Yeah."
Dos: "So then tell me why..."
He points dead center to what caught his attention.
Dos: "It's damn near doubled in under two weeks."
Robin: "Well. We did get that knew synthesizer. And Oum knows it takes up a lot of juice."
Dos: "That's what I thought. But after doing the math."
He points to a new section.
Dos: "We should still be within that energy threshold. Hell. We should have enough energy left over to power Beacon. But now we've barely got enough to power a lamp for an hour."
Robin: "This is concerning."
She grabs a scroll and places a call.
???: "Hello?"
Robin: "Marty, I need you to investigate something for me."
Marty: "What is it?"
