Entity of Iris

Setting Things Right

"Yeah, no" Marvin stopped him, crossing his arms, "I didn't break a lifetime vow with the magic council just to watch you get all the action. . . Sean. You don't worry about us. I can manage to keep everyone safe. You and Mark will have to recalibrate the machine but we WILL be backup. No arguing"

Sean should have known better.

He nodded.

"Alright then. Let's go. Wilford, are you coming, too?"

Wilford was looking up at the wormhole in the sky. It currently in space ripping apart all fabric of reality, "Nah. . ..  I think I'm just gonna sit here and watch the lights. You guys go have fun"

Mark wanted to argue but. . . . if they were able to fix everything, then he'll be safe regardless.

Mark grabbed hold of Sean's shoulder, "Go"

Marvin was right behind them.

As they teleported back to the void, it was much different now than when Henrik had just been there with Wilford.

It wasn't just nothing and black darkness.

It was bright colors and waving lights similar to a lava lamp on drugs. It was mesmerizing but at also at the same time, it gave them all a headache. There was far too much going on.

The warp core was connected to too many multiverses  and was continuing to expand.

Marvin made a sort of platform and bridge for them all to stand on. They didn't think about if they'd be able to breathe there but luckily that wasn't an issue.

Marvin, however, was seeing a different problem, "Shit. . . . the warp core is warding itself. You have to get to it NOW! GO!"

Sean wasted no time and took the crystal from Mark, "Come on!"

They both teleported as close as they could get but it wasn't good enough and the core released a wave of energy, sensing the crystal near.

Sean tried to glitch directly into it but the core shot him away.

Mark tried consuming it with the shadows but it didn't work. The core's energy it was emitting was too bright.

They weren't going to give up but they were running out of options.

Marvin came in between them and tried casting a spell to try and do something.

ANYTHING!

Jackie ran up the platform Marvin had made and tried lunge at it.

Hell, Chase even tried shooting at it.

Once again, Henrik and Jameson felt useless on the sidelines.

Jameson held Henrik's hand and pat it gently. The mute gave Henrik a small smile.

'Thank you for finding me all that time ago. If you hadn't. . . I wouldn't have made such good friends as you all'

Henrik let down his guard and breathed out a small sob, "Jameson . . . . . I'm so sorry I couldn't fix it"

'It was never yours to fix'

Henrik hated that thought. . ..  but he knew that he was right. This was all up to Sean and Mark in the end.

It all started with them, after all.

Chase ran out of bullet, "NO! NO, no! Come on! We were so CLOSE! Come on! PLEASE!" He started to cry.

Sean shook. He didn't want to admit it. . . but it didn't look like they were going to win this.

Sean walked over to Chase and hugged him. The man sunk in Sean's arms, "All of this. . ..  all of it for nothing . . .  I don't wanna die. . .  I can never . . . make it up to them, Anti."
