Black Sabbath Prime blocks another blast from Cheapshot.
The Starcoss Crusaders all blasted at the wavering army before them.
“Hey!” howled Cheapshot. “You uh… think that these filthy Crusaders would want an avalanche?”

“Very well!” sneered Prince Rasputin. “Neos!!! FLY!!!” Prince Rasputin, followed by various Kulam Users fly up and blasted the snow above with elements, various of which that the different array of disgusting sludge began toppling toward the Crusaders. “I love being Ruski!” he danced the Russian kick dance and slid his legs across the ground.

The Pentagram Demons attack, minions charging and getting blasted away by the very few Crusaders left.
Somehow, no shot struck ANY of them, due to Ladybug and Ladybird valiantly standing there.

Black Sabbath Prime, Black Sabbath Starcross, Green Day, Inchworm, Panthera, Tophbee, Ladybug, and Ladybird blasted at the Pentagrams.
“They’re cuting through the barricade!” roared Black Sabbath Starcross, before being blasted to the ground.
Name: Black Sabbath Starcross/Anna Anastasia of Earth-1
Height: 14 feet
Species: Infected
Stim: Metallic Angel
They all stood ground as thousands of the Hellish Demon soldiers kept respawning from Hell, blasting at the giants with Abelkillers. Along with them were the larger heavier units, known as the Hell Ogres, who blasted heavy shots only for Green Day and Inchworm to dismantle them.
“Keep standing!” roared Black Sabbath Prime. “FOR BEATLE SAINT KING!!!”
Name: Black Sabbath Starcross/Anna Anastasia of Earth-0
Height: 14 feet
Species: Infected
Stim: Metallic Angel
The small army cheered his name. “REACH FOR THE STARS!!! BEATLE SAINT KING!!!”
“I was told that we were peacekeepers,” said Black Sabbath Starcross, blasting the demons away. “But my entire reign was being a soldier against these bastards.”
“Yeah…” said Black Sabbath Prime. “But that doesn’t change the fact that we remain the thin line between kindness and hatred.“
“Neurotypicals. Y’know, I used to think I was one of them,” chuckled Black Sabbath Starcross.
“Listen, my variant… I… need to tella ya somethin’. This war was never about that. It was always about the balance between good and evil. Not Neurodivergents vs. Neurotypicals. It was always the question. The thin question uttered from Beatle’s beautiful mouth… ‘Will kindness push through?’ And the fact that we are standing here right now-...”
“Heheh…” chuckled a feminine voice.
Sabbath Starcross and Sabbath Silver halt their respective soldiers.
Everyone stops, staring at the distance.
Every soldier from the Pentagram stopped as well.
“CEASE FIRE!!!” roared Cheapshot. “Do it you MAGGOTS!!! Go stim like the dogs ye are!”
Then, came… Morningstar Starcross.
She stood a whopping 20 feet tall.
Name: Morningstar Silver/Aurora Fernandez
Height: 20 feet
Species: Human
Kalamidad: Liar’s Eyes
Morningstar gives a soft sigh, walking on high heels making her taller than her usual 20 feet. She moves forward with a business walk, almost sturdy and terrifying. “Honestly. Hey! Orbos! You out there!? This is Morningstar Starcross!” she smirked upon her lieutenants. “Come out now and remind me of why you woke pieces of shit think you ahve the upper hand! Because clearly you have nothing on us!”

“You attacked us!” yelled Sabbath Prime. “You attacked us… killed our fellow soldiers over 4100 years.”
“Ha! So, it’s finally out! The secret years! Finally, took a while… Been at war with Beatle that long and we can’t even keep his age of prosperity a thing. Christ Crusaders. ‘Protectors of Peace’. LIARS!!! C’mon, now. Come out, wherever you are, roaches! Orbos versus Squares. Quite the classic battle of Americans, huh? Left v. Right. Both sides actually humor me, y’know! Grifters and Woke Bitches who think they have rule over this world while our ancestors beg for scraps. What Beatle and I did… was justified.”
“Shut up,” said Black Sabbath Prime.
“Once, we ruled as Kings and Queens. Yes, that is true…” said Morningstar Starcross. “We ruled for 200 missing years… Together as one… It was pleasant. We were together. Beatle Starcross and I.”
“Wait, what?“ asked Miguel Silver, turning to Anna Silver, as they hear Morningstar Prime’s voice echo throughout the planet.
“4100 years of lost history. Do you people really think that’s what I care about? What I care about is destroying everything Beatle stood for. And if it means that Beatle’s secrets must be in order, so be it. Beatle hid 200 years, along with 3000 years worth of history. So did the Crusaders that stand before me. Do you know why? Because BUGS!!!”
Everyone is confused. Especially the Crusaders.
“Wait… What are ya talkin’ about?” asked Panthera.
“Oh for fuck’s sake! Splooge was discovered by MABUS, right? He MADE the Splooge, right? We and other Morningstars bought from him, right? Well… We needed a slave. A slave we specifically captured from Bug World to manufacture these Splooge. But there was a time when Splooge wasn’t made form Aswangs. It was originally abundant, all-existing, then we ran out. MABUS discovered that the Aswang blood is where Splooge comes from. He didn’t MAKE it. He reverse-engineered it. That means there’s someone out there who used the Splooge before. We don’t kow who, what or what, but someone very dangerous. The Splooge we have right now isn’t even real Splooge, it’s barely even the real one. We learned that the Splooge from before, ancient as it was, may not have been from Aswangs, but from another unknown product MABUS believes is from an alternate world. A world BEYOND ours… And then Prometheus Prime, THE IDIOT, kidnapped the child of the last species who could develop the Splooge PROPERLY…” Morningstar Starcross teared up, lips quivering, fingers almost shaking.
Athena’s eyes widen, looking up as MABUS’s soldiers slowly turned to her.
“Athena…?” sighed Dark Prime, whispering through the wind. “Run.”
Morningstar Starcross warps out her trident and hammered it at all the Crusaders, but Sabbath Prime blocks her trident with her sceptre.
Morningstar Starcross smirks in disgust and kicks Sabbath Prime to the ground, menacingly charging like a bull with horns. “COME ON!!! Another lie!?”
“We lied to protect other worlds from MABUS. MABUS WILL start scouring other worlds beyond the Multiverse. He’ll kill and destroy more.”
“Lied about what?” asked Panthera. “It’s been 900 years.”
“You mean 800 right?” smiled Tophbee.
“900.”
“800!”
“900!”
“Ha! Not my problem!” smirked Morningstar Starcross. “The ten worlds were created to establish peace across the Multiverse… And Beatle Prime knew that MABUS needs to forget everything… What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?”
“We wiped his mind…” said Black Sabbath Prime.
Even the Crusaders are horrified. “WHAT!?!?”
“Whoa whoa…” said Ladybird. “We stand for autonomy. We would never-...”
“I… I wiped his mind… Beatle Prime told me… He’s too dangerous…”
“What? Beatle Prime did that?” asked Black Sabbath Starcross.
Sabbath Prime began to get more and more terrified. Sweat trickled down her nose.
MABUS, meanwhile, in his bunker, is sweaty. His leg bounces, almost excited, after learning that there is so much more to what he doesn’t know,. He grabs his head, almost turned on, almost fetishizing the occurrence.
Athena’s hands shake… She teared up… lips quivered… “And Prometheus… saw me as his daughter… Took care of me… Did he know?”
Dark Prime sighs, holding one clone in his pocket. “No… He didn’t. He just found your world, kidnapped your egg and dipped. He thought he was doing a service. Just another measly job for Ruru… Turns out… You are so much, much more… And you just killed my alternate self. Turns out you need us more than anyone else…”
“They killed Reaps…” said Athena, tearing up. “I’m sorry…”
“I forgive you,” said Askal Silver. “But now is not the time to cry… Now, is the time for war…”
“Who was I?” asked MABUS, teleporting behind Black Sabbath Prime.
Sabbath Prime backs away.
“Who… was I?”
“Your name is Miguel Azral.”
“I KNOW!!! BUT WHO WAS I!?!?”
Black Sabbath Prime. “You obviously are the original Miguel Azral.. But that isn’t just that… You beame an Aswang… You learned you could save the world, so you used your blood to save billions. But then, you learned that the worlds you take your blood from, the variants you kill, were sentient, you didn’t stop. You genocided billions. Trillion. Quadrillions. Soon, we can’t even tell.”
“I KNOW THAT!!! WHO… AM I!?!? WHO WAS I IN THE SILENT CENTURIES!?!?”
“Fine! You, MABUS, are Miguel Azral… The King of the Aswangs. In your world, you were a good king, with several loyal heroes, Jed, Lord, Gerard, Fred, Anna… The reason why you did all this massacring… They all died.”
“How? You killed them?” asked MABUS.
“No. You did. During one of your adventures, Tyrone Bernardo, Doom Leopard, used Splooge to get you to a high. You went crazy. You killed them. You went to the Council. You decided you didn’t like the way things are. The other Beatles refused your demand.”
“What was it?”
“To bring them back to life. Beatle Prime especially refused. So did his wife, Morningstar Prime, who after years of war, had been by Beatle’s side for 200 years. He chose her… You got violent. We tried wiping your memory, but it made you worse… You were actively looking for a reason to hate yourself.”
“Why would he do that? WHY WOULD HE REFUSE!??!”
“Because Beatle Prime… didn’t refuse.”
MABUS grabs Sabbath Prime by the neck. “You did. You refused… Beatle Prime wasn’t there… Neither was Morningstar Prime… It was a misunderstanding… Because you wanted Beatle for yourself. YOU… WANTED TO BREAK AURORA AND BEATLE UP!!!”
Everyone turned to Sabbath Prime with contempt.
“Classic Anna… Wanting to reopen wounds… Why…?” asked MABUS.
“Because I love him…” Sabbath Prime cried.
”You… You caused the war?” asked Ladybug. “We were complicit!?”
“What the honest hell…?” asked Black Sabbath Starcross. “Sis… Why…?”
Sabbath Prime sighs. “Because I’m Anna. I ruin everything.”
Even Morningstar Starcross was disturbed. “You fuckin’ made everyone believe your bullshit… Tried to drag even your Crusaders to your nonsense…” Morningstar Starcross chuckled. “No wonder Beatle Prime never loved you. Everyone knows every Miguel… BELONGS TO ME!!!”
Black Sabbath Prime charged and Morningstar Starcross knocked her down.
“ALL HAIL MORNINGSTAAAAR!!!” roared Prince Rasputin.
Morningstar Starcross knocked her teeth, kicked her down, hammered her face, and tackled her, just stomping like the menace she was and beating and pummeling her.
“TELL ME!!! TELL ME HOW PROUD YOU ARE MAKING THIS MULTIVERSE JUST BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T BREAK FREE FROM YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CRAP!!! TELL ME!!! TELL ME HOW ALONE YOU ARE! TELL ME HOW BROKEN YOU FELT! TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU FAILED HIM!!!” Morningstar Starcross kicked her to the ground and pounded her down. “Well!?” Morningstar Starcross teared up, holding her cheek. “Tell me how happy you were…” she teared up. “When you stole my redemption.”
Black Sabbath Prime blasts her in the face repeatedly, brutally, with each blast echoing vibrations all over the cave.
“You wiped our minds?” asked Black Sabbath Silver.
Black Sabbath Prime roars, trying to push back Morningstar Starcross’s attacks.
“YOU WIPED… EVERYONE’S MINDS!?!? TEN FUCKING WORLDS!?!?” asked Black Sabbath Silver. “There was a TIME OF PEACE!?!? WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A SECRET!!! YOU MADE US SELL A LIE!!!”
“I gave Miguel Prime his second wife. I gave Miguels in every universe their wives.”
“WHY!?!?” asked Black Sabbath Silver. “You mean to tell me in another reality out there… I’d be free of any feelings? But because of you… You doubled down… You wiped all our minds, didn’t you? Made Beatle and everyone forget-...”
“Beatle always… sensed he hated me… He just didn’t know why. But he trusted me… Those damned… infuriating kind eyes… He’s so... Infuriatingly good…”
“So the Multiverse suffers because of you and your variants pay the price? And everyone entered this war?“
“THE PLAN WAS TO MAKE MABUS CREATE A WORLD WHERE I WAS WITH HIM!!! NOT… Not this…” Black Sabbath Prime would finally be pinned to the ground.
“Everything we lived for was built on a lie…”
“No,” said Ladybug Silver. “We fight for Beatle… Not you.” Ladybug Silver, and the other Crusaders lay down their weapons.
“What are you doing?” asked Sabbath Prime. “HE’LL KILL US!!!”
“For pookie,” said Inchworm and Green Day, laying down their weapons.
Black Sabbath Prime yelled. “SHE’LL KILL US!!!”
“But Beatle’s legacy will live on..” smiled Ladybird.
“ALL HAIL BEATLE SAINT KING!!!” yelled Tophbee and Panthera.
“If this battle… is meant to prove your point…?” asked Black Sabbath Silver, who lays down her sceptre. “I surrender.”
Morningstar Starcross refuses to kill Sabbath Prime. “No… No, this isn’t right. You’re fighting for you. Not Beatle. I refuse to kill you this way.”
Sabbath Prime backs away. “Why?”
“Well, for one thing… Those guys a re martyrs. Killing them would prove Beatle Prime and his variants right.”
“What about me?”
“Psh… You… You’re on your own. You selfish bitch.”
Sabbath Prime tears up. “I did it for him…”
“No. You did it because you were selfish. Just like me...”
“YOU’RE WRONG!!! YOU’RE WRONG!!! I DID IT BECAUSE HE SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN ME!!! ME!!! WHY DID HE CHOOSE YOU, YOU BITCH!!!”
Sabbath Prime punches Morningstar Starcross over and over only for her to trip and fall i the mud, before crying out loud.
“Arrest them.” said Morningstar Starcross. “Bring them to the council… We made a base here on this world… To claim the title…” she sneered, as all the Crusaders… were promptly chained, beaten, and thrown into cages.
