THE DISASTROUS TALE OF THE BALDS.
CHAPTER 15: THE ANTIVERSE OPENS
Bald Leon looked into the empty nothing of the Antiverse. Reality itself spilt into the void, the fabric of physicality shredding and using itself back together over and over as the matter and antimatter fought for supremacy. Although Bald Leon couldn't see it, the effects were stretching not only through space, but time, with the hole in reality stretching from this point in time across all of time, forever and always splitting reality in this place. The anomaly became paradoxical in nature when the antiverse destroyed the very machine which had brought it into the plain of existence in the first place, as the machine absorbed the control panel. The black hole-shaped void began to shrink towards its centre, before disappearing entirely.
Bald Leon looked around the destroyed room. Amongst the rubble, he could see a body lying face down in the wreckage. He approached and kicked the body over onto its back. It was The Creator. Bald Leon checked his pulse and felt a faint bumping. Suddenly, The Creator gasped for air as his eyes went wide and he woke up. He too looked around at the destruction he had caused.
"He really wasn't a bald was he. I don't understand, we identified a signature" said The Creator, agast.
"He wasn't no. But he is now," replied Bald Leon, looking away from his grandfather in anguish.
The Creator looked at Bald Leon, shocked and confused.
"What? How?"
"You mixed up the bald energy type of too different Balds in a regular human instead of another Bald. The bald energy mixed with his DNA and it created something new, but when the Antiverse opened, it must have opened across time, releasing the new Jack energy type across the universe, and across time. That's how it existed before it was created, and you could detect it in variants before the original source had even been created, that source being Bald Jack" explained Bald Leon.
"Where did Bald Jack even go. I need to harness his energy."
"Do you really think that's the best idea right now? We need to call a truce, we don't know what kind of antiverse bullshit came into reality after you did that. We know nothing about the antiverse, what's in it, what it can do, and you just exposed the biggest pussy on earth to the brunt of it"
The Creator paused to think.
"Fine."
The pair tentatively approached ground zero. The Creator noted that several things had simply vanished from existence, such as the furniture, command consoles, and the entire science team. Bald Leon looked at the epicentre of the catastrophe and was shocked to see the crumbled body of Bald Jack lying on the ground unconscious. Bald Leon rushed over to check on him. Bald Leon checked his pulse as he had done with the Creator, and incredibly, Bald Jack had a strong pulse and was breathing.
"Bald Jack?"
"Bald Leon."
Bald Leon helped Bald Jack to his feet. Bald Leon noticed that Bald Jack's left eye had been ripped from its socket by the gravitational forces of the antiverse opening. Bald Jack had a grimace on his face.
"WAIT!" came a voice from behind the rubble.
Bald Leon looked over to the source of the voice and saw Bald Jack standing in front of him, eye intact. Bald Leon looked at the Bald Jack who he was helping to his feet, who sneered as a manic grin crept across his face.
"Well it was worth a try..." said the cyclops Bald Jack
He shoved Bald Leon off of him and kicked him across the room towards the dual-eyed Bald Jack. The Creator took this chance to attack.
"You're clearly the Bald Jack that I'm looking for!" he shouted gleefully
"I'm more than Bald Jack now. I am... EVIL BALD JACK!"
The Creator began to engage Evil Bald Jack in hand-to-hand combat. but he was quickly overwhelmed. Evil Bald Jack blocked every attack that the expert fighter threw at him. Evil Bald Jack began to take the split seconds between blocking the Creator's attacks to throw his own. Each punch Evil Bald Jack unleashed was thrown with bone-breaking force, and the only thing stopping the Creator from being killed instantly was his own bald energy. Evil Bald Jack grappled the Creator, spinning him around, before delivering a kick to the side of the Creator's left leg, snapping the bone in half.
The Creator screamed in pain as he dropped to his knees in front of Evil Bald Jack. Bald Leon got back to his feet and started to rush Evil Bald Jack, but he was too late. Bald Leon watched on as Evil Bald Jack span the Creator's head around twice, completely snapping his neck, and killing him.
"NOOOOOOO!" screamed Bald Leon
Meanwhile, across the facility, Bald Ben's escape team were searching for Bald Leon, and they had gotten close to finding him when the effects of the antiverse opening began to shake the facility. They had gotten to the corridor outside of the Creator's office, as Bald Ben wanted to use his computer to search for Bald Leon. When the antiverse opened, the energy released had escaped outside of the experimentation room, and into the corridor that Bald Ben and his team were in. Unlike everyone else touched by the energy such as the science team, those with existing bald energy were not vaporised by the energy, and instead began to go through a form of mitosis.
Bald Ben was hit first, the antiverse energy began to rip his DNA apart, copy it, and sew it back together again. Before he even hit the floor, Bald Ben had been given a new variant. Bald Ben leaned upwards to hoist himself off of the floor, and as he rolled onto his side, his eyes met another pair, identical to his own. He looked at the face of the duplicate, recognising that it was similar, but with some distinctions. It didn't take Bald Ben to realise that he had seen this face before. It was the face of Gay Bald Ben.
"What the fuck?" asked Bald Ben
"I could say the same thing to you chubby, you look exactly like I did when the forever pebbles made me straight" replied the new Gay Bald Ben
Bald Ben quickly realised that the antiverse ran parallel to the main universe, with similar events occurring, only differently. He turned around to look at the rest of the team in the corridor to see what they thought, but he quickly found out that he wasn't the only one to have been hit by the antiverse energy bolt. Icebox Leon had been struck and had spawned a variant far closer to him, but the variant appeared to possess a similar ability to that of Jack O TV 240p, where he and a small area around him was also distorted. K-Pop Leon had also been hit, and his duplicate looked and dressed like Bald Ben's variant, allowing Bald Ben to accurately guess that he was a Gay Bald Leon.
Bald Ben looked upon his team, now comprised of himself, Gay Bald Leon, Gay Bald Ben, Icebox Leon, Distorted Icebox Leon, K-Pop Leon, American Bald Ben, Jack O TV HD and of course Gerkin.
The shaking stopped, but that was not the end of their problems. The agency soldiers had broken out of the archives, and the facility had been put on full alert. Soldiers began to pile into the corridor, armed with stun sticks, riot shields, and tasers.
"Gerkin! Get this door open!" shouted Bald Ben
Gerkin lept onto the keypad next to the door and ripped off the cover, to start connecting wires, trying to short-circuit the system and open the door. The rest of the team took defensive positions to try and hold back the soldiers for as long as possible. Everyone stood around American Bald Ben as he began to fire as quickly as he could into the approaching army, killing most of the first wave of soldiers. As the distance between the soldiers and the group got closer and closer, American Bald Ben tossed his rifle, and rushed to meet the first soldiers with Jack O TV HD and Bald Ben. Jack O TV HD started boxing soldiers, throwing punches before they could stun him, and then picking up a riot shield and taking a step back. Bald Ben and American Bald Ben copied his lead, disarming riot shield soldiers and using their shields to wall of the corridor and hold back the soldiers. The rest of the team rushed to reinforce the wall, holding it up in the gaps between the three shield wielders. Gay Bald Leon took a step back from the wall and picked up American Bald Bens rifle. He held it over the top of the wall and started to fire widely into the crowd. The shields began to crack under the weight of the soldiers, both dead and attacking. Bald Ben's shield shattered in his hands, opening up the middle of the wall, forcing American Bald Ben and Jack O TV HD to close ranks, but the gaps in the wall slowly started letting soldiers through.
"Doors open!" Shouted Gerkin as the doors squeaked open.
Everyone turned around and started to run for the door, dropping the shields as they ran, but the soldiers were close behind. the team piled through the door, before slamming it shut, but a quick head count revealed that yet again, someone hadn't made it. Bald Ben looked at all the faces in the room to see who was missing and realised that Icebox Leon had been grabbed by the soldiers before they closed the door.
Bald Ben looked around the destroyed office and saw a doorway with no room on the other side. He peered through the doorway into where the interrogation room once was. He looked down into the large room where the antiverse opened, and saw Bald Jack grappling the Creator. Bald Ben then saw something he never thought he would. He watched Bald Jack snap the Creator's neck.
The Creator's body fell to the ground and Bald Leon screamed out in anguish. Bald Ben looked to the source of the scream and saw bald Leon stood next to a second Bald Jack. Realising something wasn't right, he shouted to Bald Leon.
"Bald Leon! Up here!" he shouted
"Come on Bald Jack" said Bald Leon while running up the pile of the rubble left by the collapsed rubble, trying to climb up to the doorway and grab a hold of Bald Ben's outstretched hand.
"Errrr. right, yes... ok Bald Leon, Right behind you!" said Bald Jack meakly
Bald Jack stumbled as he ran to catch up with Bald Leon who had already scaled the rubble and was climbing up into the hallway. Bald Jack turned around to see that Evil Bald Jack was staring at him and Bald Leon as they escaped, but wasn't moving an inch. Bald Jack also climbed up into the hallway,
"We need to get the hell out of here" shouted American Bald Ben
The group looked around the room. The barricaded door was still being rammed by agency operatives. The room had no secondary exits, no air vents, no trap doors and no windows. Bald Leon turned around, thinking there may be another way out through the way they came, but his eyes met those of Evil Bald Jack who was floating parallel to the doorway.
The barricaded door caved in as the balds were once again surrounded.
