[Apparently Shellee and Tammee - er, Gertix and Yil - have hit the ground running, because it's the day after they quit at Neutrino News and already they're set up in their new digs at Earthlive News, where they were hired by actual reporter Hannah Wells.]

[The two look different without their glam filters. Oh, sure they have a little makeup on, but their eyes are less enlarged and the flaws on their appearance are more visible. They also don't have a pink and blue glow anymore. And the fake smiles are gone. They have the serious and collected expressions of actual newscasters.]

[The words "Breaking News Update" scroll across the bottom of the screen. The video is a little static-ey, like there's interference, but apparently Earthlive News has invested in some heavy duty emergency signal-boosting tech.]

Gertrix: This is Gertrix Shur -

Yil: - and Yil Bak -

Gertrix: With a breaking news update from Earthlive News.

Yil: According to satellite imagery and eyewitness accounts from all over the UP, strange constructs are warping into orbit around multiple UP planets.

[Grainy video from a satellite shows strange structures floating around Braal, made of some unknown material. They're spiky and have eyes in the middle. The eyes are all directed towards the planet.]

Yil: So far, reports indicate that these constructs have been spotted around Earth, Colu, Braal, Rimbor, Titan, and Imsk, with more appearing as we speak. We'll continue listing new planets as this report goes on.

[New planets continue to be listed at the botton of the broadcast, scrolling across the screen: Daxam, Zuun, Talok IV...]

Gertrix: The nature and origin of the constructs are still unknown, but according to UPgov, they're thought to be related to the threat of Chronoblivion, as they appear to be emanating from the area of space where Chronoblivion has breached our universe. Efforts to communicate with the constructs seems to be unsuccessful, according to UPgov experts.

Yil: Unfortunately, intel about the constructs is thin due to widespread interference in long-range sensors and long-range communications between the Titanet Towers. Top UPgov scientists believe the constructs to potentially be responsible for the disruption. While communication between worlds is still possible, it's very limited.

Gertrix: [Listens to her earpiece.] This just in, UPgov has put into place a full state of emergency for all UP worlds. Authorities are advising all UP citizens to shelter in place, gather up emergency supplies within their homes, and to limit Titanet communications as much as possible so governments and law enforcement can have their vital communiques prioritized on Titanet networks.

[Click here for emergency information and links to official UPgov instructions.]

Yil: While communications are limited, the Science Police, Galactic Emergency Guard, and Legion of Superheroes are reported to now be in communication and will be dispatching to respond to the situation shortly. Authorities are advising UP citizens to remain calm and stay off the T-gate network and public thoroughfares, to avoid mass panic and allow law enforcement freedom of movement.

Gertrix: Here at Earthlive news we will continue broadcasting live to ensure the UP public is informed about ongoing news updates, as well as providing resources on emergency information, and information that will allow UP citizens to safely shelter in place.

[The news report goes on but by now UPgov and the Science Police have finally broken through the interference and managed to communicate with Legion World. Klaxons start blaring on Legion World and they don't have any more time to watch the broadcast.]

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now.]

Shellee: Good evening, everyone. I'm Shellee Star!

Tammee: And I'm Tammee Tim!

Shellee: And this is a live episode of Legion Watch: Legionnaire Legacies! Tonight, we're taking a closer look at one of our most mysterious Legionnaires. He ruled an Earth very much like our own before joining the Legion and has an affinity for fire. Introducing the self appointed Shape-shifting Master of Darkness: Aku!

[Wash sounds oddly calm for having spent any amount of time in TV hell. He'd seen a few of his fellow Legionnaires in various shows alongside him; hopefully they've all survived up to this point. If they're all lucky, they all managed to find a way out of the studios like he did. He's worried about them, enough to reach out through the omnicomms (eerily silent with the main Legion World network still inaccessible) and check in.]

This is Agent Washington, codename Freelancer, of the Legion of Superheroes, sending a message on a secured frequency. [As secure as he can make it, at least; he'd feel a lot better with Cortana or Delta around, but right now he's just happy to be alive and have his equipment back in his hands.] If any other Legionnaires can hear this, please respond.

I've managed to get my equipment back and escape the TV studios with the help of the local resistance. They call themselves the Indies, and evidently they've been against this whole global TV thing since the beginning. They've also seen the piece of Metron's throne - evidently it's still disguised as a book page, and who uses paper anymore? The good news is, they know where it is. The bad news is, it involves going back in the studios for a retrieval mission, and I don't know about any of you, but I do not want another fifteen minutes of fame.

[He says, yelling into the void for all he knows. There has to be someone out there who can answer, right?]

I talked with the leader of the Indies, and evidently their world wasn't always like this. They made contact with something nasty years ago, and it took over the government, wrecked the planet with years of war, and pretty much drove everyone underground. It's also the thing running the whole murder television operation. It calls itself the Producer, and they think taking it out is the first step to returning their society to normal.

To be completely honest, I've had it up to here with homicidal cosmic entities, and the last thing I want to do is die in yet another dimension that isn't mine. As far as I'm concerned, getting the piece of Metron's throne and getting out of here is priority one.

But if we happen to topple a bullshit government and kill another Cthulu knockoff along the way, I wouldn't say no.

[There's a familiar child DEFINITELY 14 YEAR OLD YOUNG WOMAN on the comms, but Mabel looks unusually serious as she opens up her video feed! What ever could be troubling this sparkling ray of sunshine?

Who is literally sparkling, actually. A small cloud of glitter seems to surround her, and there are glittery fingerprints on everything she's touched in the background.]


Good afternoon, Legion -

[Her solemnity breaks. She frowns confusedly into the distance.]

Is it afternoon in space? How does anyone know what time it is in space? If someone ever tells me I have to get up early, what does that even mean if time has no meaning? Shouldn't we all just sleep until we just agree we're not tired -

[WELL THAT SURE WAS A TANGENT. Which Mabel recognizes, pulling herself back to the matter at hand.]

Anyway, what I came here to say has nothing to do with space, or time, but it's very important. This message is dedicated to all the boys of Legion.

[She clears her throat, solemnly looking into the camera.]

Space hero boys, this is hard for me to say . . . you're beautiful and dreamy and I can sort of remember all of you. Like a shimmering dream you cling to upon waking -

[She goes so far as to reach out her hand dramatically, grasping at something too ephemeral and glorious for reality.]

- but right now, the universe needs me. And more specifically . . . my bro needs me.

[She . . . realizes she probably doesn't have to elaborate. She's missed many horrifying things happening to Dipper. One horrifying thing after the other, really, that other people probably know more about than her. She's only gotten to see the aftermath. But the aftermath of Dipper's mental state is . . . she can't be the only one who's noticed it's Not Great.]

The Time Trapper has already sent me back too many times, and if I'm going to keep this job, I need to double down and become the best possible superhero I can be! And that means pouring all my time and energy into the most epic training montage the universe - multiverse - whateververse has ever seen.

So I'm sorry Beautiful Space Boys, but until Chronoblivion is no more . . . I can't be with any of you.

[She exhales, hanging her head in sad desperation that it has come to this.]

[When Dipper comes on screen he's in the supernatural research room that's attached to the Labs, where various Legionnaires have holed up over time to study the Book of Magic. Ray and Valeria are in there with him, working on the book behind them.]

This is so exciting! Ohmygosh.

Okay, so for anyone that's new, a while ago we had to get the spear of Destiny - like that spear of Destiny, that poked Yahweh-know-who? - to re-imprison the Spectre. Because we were the ones that let him out in the first place to stop this giant planet-eating guy with a stupid hat called Galactus.

Anyway, that's all taken care of, the Spectre's back in his box, but when we went to find the spear we met this guy guarding it that called himself The Wizard - like the Wizard, like he was the most important one or something? - and alongside telling us where the spear was, he gave us this magic book. He promised that if we could unlock its knowledge we might be able to find something to use against Chronoblivion.

We did a lot of research and found out it was legit but it's all wrapped up in codes and spells and riddles. We managed to unlock it enough that Ray was able to use its power to banish Eclipso to the room with a moose dimension, a dimension that's just...a room with a moose. (I don't get it, either). In that fight on Apokolips.

[Dipper rolls his hands around each other to show he's trying to fast forward.]

Anyway, a bunch of us have been working on it for a while and it turns out Gohan decoded some important encryptions before he got zapped home and he never got to tell the rest of us! I was going through his old notes to see if we missed anything and we were able to use it to figure out how to unlock the last spells guarding it. We're unlocking the last of it right now!

Brainiac got help from Sorcerer's World to use those magic artifacts we got from that marriage planet and combined it with technology to shield the research room, so nobody has to worry about any eff --

[Something crackles behind him, where Valeria and Ray are working. Some of Ray's equipment starts making alarming ticking noises. Ray says, "Definitely a sharp uptick in PKE valences...we may want to duck."]

[Dipper turns, yelps, and ducks just in time to avoid magical energy that zaps through the room like lightning. A more subtle wave of magical energy sweeps past after the initial zaps, spreading out all through Legion World. Val, Ray, and Dipper are just fine but frogs start appearing and raining from the ceiling in their research room, and the book floats off the table, completely wrapped up in ethereal glowing golden chains. Other Legionnaires throughout Legion World might also find strange magical effects spreading out all over.]

Uhhh.

Whuh oh.

[ Tadashi is reclining in a bed in medical, wearing the beatific smile of the enlightened and the well and truly stoned. ]

I love biology. Well, no, I'm enthusiastic about biology, I don't love it. I love programming and engineering and my family and helping people. Not in that order. Maybe in that order in regards to science. Except programming and engineering are the tools I use to help people, but I do love them too.

[ He stares off into space for a moment, then shakes himself and focuses back on the camera again. ]
and the rambling continues )

[What has no thumbs and is sick to death of gods and sorcerers and magic spears and all the similar crap that keeps popping up? This AI.

Well, actually, her hologram has thumbs, but they're currently not visible behind the equally holographic folded arms.]


Poll: how many of you are from universes where the supernatural is real? Magic, gods, shoe-making elves that aren't just a parable about virtue, whatever.

[Why Grimm's Fairy Tales? Why not Grimm's Fairy Tales? It's all equally nonsense as far as thorough-going materialist Cortana is concerned.]

[Aku hated every agonizing minute of this. He'd had that Samurai! He'd been so close to annihilating him once and for all! But now he was here and enduring a form of torture he never thought possible. The Oath had nearly prevented him from joining, its words like poison in his mouth. He'd resorted to taking it in the form of "Ikra" because he couldn't bear to hear such nonsense spoken in his own voice (and because things just seem easier when you're beautiful.) Now it was time to introduce himself to the crew and Aku was trying his best to keep disgust from seeping into his expression, but there was only so much he could do.

When he appears on the screen, he looks like a cross between the Devil, a tree and a bowl of guacamole. Six horns rise from his head like the branches of a tree and twin flames flicker upon his scowling brow. Snarly wrinkles form between his eyes as he gazes down his snout at whomever happens to be on the receiving end of this broadcast.]


Greetings, heroes. [He growls in the voice of a cranky old man.] I am Aku, Shapeshifting Master of Earth. I have been selected by your "program" to help eradicate the threat known as Chronoblivion. And as those of you with functioning eyes can see—assuming there are functioning brains attached to them— I have agreed to join your team...

[Though it pains him to do so, he lowers the camera to reveal the Legionnaire insignia on the upper left side of his chest and the snazzy red cape about his shoulders. It's as if he doesn't expect anyone to believe him and must prove that he isn't just some scheming, lying villain. Having made his point clear, he seems eager to move on to other subjects.]

Now then! [he snaps, drawing the focus back to his scowling face and curved fangs.] I ask of you to tell me two important things:

ONE. Who among you has encountered the Chronoblivion firsthand? I wish to know as much about this Bringer of Ruin as I am able.

TWO... How often must we wear these LUDICROUS costumes?? [Sharp claws grip the front of his uniform as if its mere existence offends him.] The Glory of Aku is not meant to be constrained by clothing!
