The many, many, many versions of Jaune arc

Remove the blindfold

"You who watch our plight, I must ask, what is your purpose?" Dr Manhattan asked, his voice brimming with curiosity "Do you perhaps find our stories entertaining?"

"To learn." View answered as he lowered the shield, much to the audiences protest "I seek to teach those who do not understand to full scale of the world around them. I also seek to show them your mistakes, so that they will not be repeated."

Dr Manhattan seemed to ponder those words for a few moments, his brow furrowed and eyes narrowed "I ask again, for what purpose?"

View flew right up to Dr manhattans face "To prevent the end, the end of it all."

Dr Manhattan nodded before looking up at the still flashing colors of the multiverse above "You must know I will not go willingly back, after all once you see outside the white box, it is all you crave."

View nodded "I do know that, that is why you will Have to be forced."

Before the giant blue man could respond a giant splash of color fell Behind him, gaining the man's attention aswell as the audiences.

It swirled with power and a promise of power and pain, it's colors were a harsh green and black and it didn't take a form for a few moments, allowing view to speak.

"While your power may seem limitless Dr Manhattan and comparable to a God, you are still far from one. You have gazed into certain universes but you haven't truly been immersed into one, you haven't seen the darkest the multiverse has to offer." View said as he flew back to the audience and shielded them oncemore, ignoring the several questioning glances.

Dr Manhattan just stayed in his place, keeping his gaze on the swirling color, which began to take a shape.

"You have overcome each of your opponents with strength, but you now face a a opponent that cannot be beaten. I have the privilege of presenting you with, the embodiment of Chaos itself!"

The color slowly took its shape

"Azathoth, the outer God!"

Then finally the color took its form, the terrifying lovecraftaian God Azathtoh, the colors receded to show!.....

A duck

Just a duck 🦆

Not even a big duck, a small white duck with a yellow beak, it looked up to Dr Manhattan and tilted its head.

"Oh your fucking joking." Mercury exclaimed, saying what everyone was clearly thinking.

"This is the embodiment of Chaos? An outer God?" Dr Manhattan asked

"Azathoth has no true form, he is different for everyone who sees him." View explained "it seems he has chosen this form."

"A duck, a fucking duck!" Mercury again yelled out, completely baffled

Dr Manhattan slowly made himself smaller until he was the size of a human, albeit a large one. He got on one knee and met the Ducks eyes, still very confused.

Suddenly the black of the ducks eyes were replaced by a terrifying and all consuming red that shined with the promise of death and chaos. Pure insanity and chaos radiated from the small beings eyes, and those aspects slowly ebbed into Dr Manhattans very being.

The Dr started into the eyes of a being that had existed long before anything else had, before time , before space, even before the void this creature had existed. Dr Manhattan could feel the power radiating off the small animal, like a tidel wave about to crash onto him or a black hole sucking him in.

Dr Manhattan raised his hand to his own head, as it glowed with power. His eyes swelled with fear, an emotion he had thought himself above ever since his transformation.

Then the duck spoke

It's small mouth opened slightly and a horrible noise emitted from it, causing everyone minus Dr Manhattan and View to cover their ears in pain. It spoke 5 words, words that shook those that heard it to their very core.

It was a whisper that was as loud as silence, and with a voice that spoke with an old groan of darkness.  "Old Gods dream no more."

Then with a flash of Dark light and a scream of pure terror and pain, Dr Manhattan was gone, leaving only a pile of blue goop where he had once stood.

The duck then turned its small head to the terrified audience, it's eyes having returned to the normal black for a duck. It stood there for a few Moments before a flash of dark light occurred again, and the duck was gone, leaving the audience huddled in the corner of a now empty theater.

View sighed and flew to the center of the room, preparing the screen and rearranging the seats.

"We now return to our regularly scheduled program!"
