Dark Side of The Moon, Earth’s Exosphere
The group had all found themselves on the moon, looking at the warship where their leader was, “So then, this is our Leader, exiled from out home and is currently with his son.” Kregg said towards them, with Anissa moving forward, “I’m going to observe them, I’m curious.” She told them, making the others look and see that there was something that made them all look towards her with curiosity.

Grayson Habitat, Dark Side of The Moon
Anissa watched them, looking at the arm wrestling with each other, as they had done so, the Viltrumite had watched their movements, watched the sight and as she looked, the warrior noticed how they had been straining as their women watched, “Well… what’d I tell you?” Invincible had asked of his father, their current Emperor who fought him in full force.
“I’m– impressed you’ve lasted– this long.” Emperor Nolan said to him, “But I’ll wear you down– soon.” he told the child, “Whatever, old man!” Invincible snapped, “I could do this– ALL NIGHT!” he snapped towards him, “Oh, yeah–?” he started to ask before he noticed the warrior who had been looking down towards them, making her see what he would do with her.
“Then let’s see what you’ve got– kid!” the Emperor snapped towards him, “Oh, I will– You’ll see how strong–” he began to say before pausing, appearing to have thought of something, “I am… oh, damn–” he began, his grip starting to weaken, “No! No! No!” he started to say and hearing that, the woman had started to move and as she started to go after, the warrior went and started to fly away from them.

Malco/Conquest Residence, Red Bank
The woman had been looking over her photos until she noticed that Anissa had arrived at her front door, “What did you do?” she had asked her friend and hearing that, she took a breath before looking towards Thula, “I apologize, but I had wanted to see when they had a test of strength and Invincible noticed me… he had let himself lose and then they had just enjoyed it, there was no conflict.”
Hearing that, Thula sighed towards that, “That is very… very interesting.” The woman said to him and hearing that, they looked towards each other, “So, how do you think I should approach him? Because I may have to deal with his mate, Atom Eve and–” “And if you really want him to be your mate, then you will need to do something… heroic.” she told the woman and hearing that Anissa looked at her friend.
“What do you mean by ‘heroic’?” she asked, making the Viltrumite sigh, “Do you remember when the Starlight persona was needed to deal with the possible invaders? Do that, but make sure that only Invincible knows, no credit, just make sure that show that you’ve turned a new leaf.” Thula told her, making her friend raise an eyebrow, “And you believe that would work?” she asked.
And hearing that, Thula had given a look, “And how easy did you think it was for the people to trust us after they discovered that the Starlight hero who was facing off against Alien Invaders were us?” Thula asked and hearing that, Anissa thought, “Where do you think I should start?” the woman asked, making Thula smile as they both started to think on how they could perform heroics.

Dane Residence, Manhattan
The man had been enjoying a drink and as he looked it over, he noticed something, there were tremors that were making him start to get confused before he began to notice that there was a change, that monsters were rising out from the ground and looking, Lucan had went over to Miranda, “Miranda, please don’t leave the apartment, I need to make sure that the people in Harlem are safe?” the man asked.
Hearing that, the woman nodded towards that before the woman had went to the bunker there, the warrior had been relieved by that before he went to leave the apartment, jumping off the balcony before he shot towards the neighborhood so that he’d be able to protect them in whatever way he could as subtly as he possibly could do, hoping that Invincible was capable of dealing with it.

Manhattan, New York City
Anissa looked upwards in the clouds, making sure that he could see what all of them were doing, apparently there was a subterranean civilization and looking towards them, the woman was curious and as she looked to the destruction, Anissa had seen that the destruction was minimal by their standards, if Invincible was able to deal with Conquest then he should be able to deal with that.
Watching, the scene that was up from there where no one could see unless a Viltrumite was trying to find her as she saw Monster Girl come in to fight the beasts, “Who are these people?!” She asked as the woman listened to their radios easily, “The female referred to herself as Volcanikka. The male has referred to himse;f as Seismic and hes referenced some kind of transformation…”
“And that we’ve faced him before.” The one known as Ronot said, “That leads me to believe that we are somehow facing a new and improved Doc Seismic.” The man said as her target started to move in, “Well, that explains the giant monster!” Invincible told them, “So he’s back to his old tricks…” he said which made Anissa curious about what his tricks were.
“You’re our heavy hitter, Invincible. I need you to focus on that monster– shut it down!” The man said and hearing that, Anissa wanted to see what would happen, “The structural integrity of those buildings is compromised! They could collapse at any second– we need to stop its rampage NOW if we have any hope of getting those people evacuated!” He told the Viltrumite.
“On it!” Invincible said just as there was an attack from the Doc Seismic creature, “In my new form, I’ll finally be able to kill you with my bare hands!” the creature said, grabbing her future mate, “So it IS you. I can’t decide if you look worse now or before. And I’m not sure these qualify as ‘hands’.” He said to the creature, making Aniss wonder why he doesn’t kill it.
“Your jokes won’t slow me down!” Seismic told him, “You are stronger, I’ll give you that.” Invincible said as they went to a downward direction, “Just not strong enough!” he shouted, throwing Seismic to the ground, “Now, ugly! YOU’RE ALL MINE!” he said but before he could do anything, Anissa decided to intervene, killing beasts that large was easy for her to rip through the head of.
“What the–?” he started to say, but it was dead and she was gone, going to fly upwards, “Quick, while they are distracted, we must make our exit!” Volcanikka shouted out towards them, “No, what?! We can DEFEAT them!” Seismic shouted out, “We have lost a creature already, but gained valuable knowledge. We don’t want to defeat them, we want to defeat all of them.” Volcanikka said as they escaped.
Looking towards them, the woman had smiled towards the sight as she noticed how Invincible was starting to look towards the sky and then they started to move upwards and then she prepared to look anything but violent as he reached her height, “Ih… So… that was you, then?” he asked her, “Yes.” Anissa said to him, “What are you doing?” Mark asked and hearing that.
“Are you trying to undermine my father? I saw you spying on him.” Invincible said towards him and hearing that, Anissa smiled as she felt the rays of the planets star, “I was never spying on your father.” she said, looking to him with a suggestive look like one of her husbands used on her, “I was watching YOU.” she assure, grabbing him by the shoulders before locking lips with him.
He looked surprised, flummoxed and then he seemed to be aroused by what she did, good, “Hey! Not cool! REALLY!” He told the woman, “Funny… I didn’t sense any resistance.” Anissa told him with a smirk before she went to fly off, as she did so, the Viltrumite smiled, starting to think on what she was going to do next, she would need to be in contact and couldn’t wait to see what was next.

Grayson Residence, Dark Side of The Moon
Nolan had been with his wife when he hard the sound, making him confused as he saw there was a message that was coming from the hero Robot and from his son, there was a feeling that made them confused and then he started to get worried before the new Emperor of The Empire had spoken, “Mark.” he said towards his son, “Dad? What’s–?” “You’re planning to go to another universe? The one Angstrom went to?”
“Uh, yeah, why–?” “Because if you are, there are guidelines that all members of the Viltrum Empire follow.” he explained towards his son, making Mark confused, “Wait, you guys had tried to deal with the whole–?” Yes, after the Scourge Virus, we had attempted to shore up our numbers by using variants of those lost or those that didn’t exist in our universe.” he explained to his son.
“Unfortunately, there were opposing theories in how it would go, a contest of power, a war against ourselves that we had hoped to never happen again.” the man said to his son, “If it weren’t for The Invincible Emperor, The War of Viltrums would have lasted more than 500 hundred years, it would have reigned eternal, and we will not allow it to continue once more.” He said.
“Woah, that’s– that’s crazy, dad.” He told him, “I won’t stop you in your exploration of alternate Earths, but there is the issue of guidelines to ensure that The War of The Viltrums does not reignite.” Nolan told him, “Alright, what’re the rules?” Mark asked and Nolan was more than happy to tell him., “The first thing is that no Variants shall be collected.” he told his son.
“The second is that if there is any pathogens or any sort of viral threats, they are to be destroyed before they can do anything to hurt you.” The man said and hearing that, the hybrid seemed to understand, “That’s fine, I mean, I’m not thinking of bringing like that back.” He said and hearing that, the man was relieved a bit by that, “Okay, then the last thing is that unless you’re know, you won’t reveal yourself.”
“Yeah, that makes–” “According to Thula, there was a recent incursion from another Earth, Conquest and her alternate daughter came in, they had followed protocol and I hope that you will do the same out there.” He told his son, “I promise, dad, we’ll be back before you can even worry.” He said, smiling towards him before the comm was closed and the man took a breath.

Piedras Negras, Mexico
Kregg had been trying to enjoy the teaching himself the instrument before he saw that there was some thing that made him feel like he was being creative, he already new the favorite meals of all of his mates, now he wanted to learn how to use a guitar so that he would be able to serenade them, at least until there was a new feeling that made him look to see there was a communication.
It was from Anissa, apparently there were subterranean forces that made him curious, and then a little bit excited as he started to think about being able to let loose down underground, making sure that his mates were protected while also indulging in his violent tendencies, as he thought about that, the man started to look around before taking a deep breath, rolling his back before he started to think where he’d go.

Subterranean Level, North America
The Viltrumite had found a tunnel that would allow him to escape and thinking, he looked, the man began to wonder where these supposed creature were until he noticed that there was a group of small creatures that had magma rock like forms which made the general curious as he began to move towards them, making sure that he had some form of non–hostility in his form.
The creatures had looked towards him and as he did, they began to think until there was a new noise that made him look to see that large creatures from that news from New York were there, it had roared towards him and seeing that, Kregg had sighed before he grabbed at a stalagmite and broke it off, the general had aimed before going to throw it straight through the brain.
Making sure that he was fine, the man had checked on the smaller creatures, looking them over before he had looked to one that looked intelligent, “Fine, now tell me where the leaders of the enemy are?” he asked and hearing that, the group started to wonder before one of them had dipped their finger into the Earth and then started to carve out something, it looked like pictograms.
Seeing them and seeing how the creature had seemed to be worried and then the man saw what they were trying to explain, “You, you’re coming with me.” he said, grabbing the writer and heading downward to the deepest level that they were able tp find at least one of their higher caste and in so doing, they would be able to cease another threat against their new home.

Dane Residence, Manhattan
Lucan had been looking over a few more rough drafts that he had in mind for the future of the security of Earth when he had gotten a call, “Hello?” he asked the person, “Standby for teleportation.” The voice said, making Lucan confused, why would they– all of a sudden there was a bright flash and he could feel his senses as he had been pulled away from there to somewhere else.

Global Defense Agency Office, Pentagon
The Viltrumite had his fists raised, thinking that he was about to be attacked when he saw that there were scientists there who he had helped with the moon project, “Hello there, this is a issue of the utmost priority.” the director, Cecil Steadman said as he stepped forward, making sure that he was in view of them all, “As you may have heard, there was an attack by subterranean creatures recently in New York.
“Lucan nodded with some muttering, “Now, you had all been a part of the Think Tank that allowed us to keep Earth from drowning, now I want you all to make a fence, so that they stay down in the Hell they live in and we don’t have to worry about them trying to eat us.” he said towards them, making the scientists look, “If any of you want to bow out, you will be detained until we’re done, otherwise, whose ready?”
Hearing that, Lucan had started to step forward, “Did you think energy fridge or something more along the lines of some sort of whistle that would affect their inner ears?” Lucan had asked them and hearing that, the man smiled as he motioned for him to come in, “That’s what you’re doing.” Cecil said towards them as the Viltrumite had seen what was inside of the place.
It was a large lab that had been filled with so much technology which was making Lucan a bit surprised, wondering what he could do with it all, The two of them walking in with Cecil smirking. “Welcome to The Think Tank.” he said to the man as Kael and Vidor both going in, looking around everywhere and as they did so, the group had seen that there was enough for them to work with.
Seeing that, Lucan had clapped his hands, “Very well, what’s our first project?” he asked, making the Man smile before seeing that there was something that looked to be samples of the aliens that they had killed, it was interesting and it would be useful for them later on as the others who we at the command of Cecil now, approached, “Now then, if there are no more issues, let’s get started.
The other scientists had started to move, going to see what they would be able to work on before Lucan looked to Kael and Vidor, “It appears that we’re going to be having QUITE the interesting project.” he said as Vidor spoke, “Here are a few projects I had in subjugating subterranean species.” he whispered, giving them some idea for the moment as a few others started to work.

Viltrumite Warship, The Dark Side of The Moon
The members of the Viltrumite Empire had started to look and then they saw that there was an alert, the members that were able to arrive had been warned that there could be another Viltrums War on the horizon, and it made them each start to ready themselves, they had all remembered what had happened during that war, how many were lost and how they were not the victors.
“Why would The Heir go there?” Anissa asked, making the group look, “Apparently the one that created an Invincible War, a Levy Angstrom, had decided that he was too dangerous, and that it would be best for us all if he went and retrieved him, so that Levy Angstrom would be unable to do anything worse than we can imagine.” Thavia said with Torr beside Nolan.
“I want all Viltrumites at the ready, if there is any chance for any sort of danger, then I want us all prepared to face off against whatever it may be, understood?” Nolan asked, “YES, MY EMPEROR!” The Viltrumite Warriors had shouted, hearing that, Nolan was a bit relieved, but he now only hoped that his son would return safe, and not as a herald to some sort of apocalypse.

The Think Tank, New York City, Unstoppable Universe
The members of the Think Tank had been making sure that there were no dangers before seeing that an alert was coming, someone had foolishly started to do multidimensional travel again, annoyed by that, Levy had started to alert Unstoppable and Omni–Man, the moment that he did so, Omni–Man was the first of them to appear, “Hey there, Levy, what’s up?” he asked, curious.
“I had gotten another alert, it’s from that same universe, the one with the Invincible.” He said which made Omni–Man curious, “Hey, did we ever think to send a probe their way?” he asked, making the scientist look towards him, “Nope, I asked around and this one is in the know, we can’t observe them subtly without worrying about the Viltrums War going off.”
Hearing that, the man paused as Unstoppable had landed beside her little brother, “What’s up?” she asked, curious, “Problem, apparently The Invincible Universe is making another breach.” he explained, making the boy wonder what was going on before seeing that there was a new piece of tech an a green portal like the one she and her grandpa used, “What’s that?” she asked.
“Think of it like a tripwire.” Levy explained to the group, “This is so that we can pluck them out from the– I don’t know, the Multiversal stream, to our universe when they’re going back, if they’re trying to start another war like the Traveler Angstrom, we’ll be able to stop them.” Levy warned and hearing that, they had wondered about that before there was something else.
“Wait, where is he going?” Unstoppable had asked, the group all looking and seeing that there was the stream, they had tagged their universe before, The Mark Grayson of that world had conquered Earth and spawned a civil war, he had been one of the claimed Invincibles, and I think that he took Levy Angstrom too.” the scientist explained, making them wonder.
So why would the Good Invincible be going there? It was curious and making them think at least before they had seen that there was something that looked to be a sort of sphere that was heading away from their initial universe and then was going off to the Mohawk universe, seeing that, the group had began to think on what they were going to catch when they made their way back.
