Description
*After making a deal with the literal devil, Oliver makes his was back to GG's now empty apartment. Inside was the black figure itself.*

???: So, you wish to bring your friends back, yes? Well I'll tell you that it's no easy feat.

Oliver: I don't care. I'll go through hell and more to get them back.

???: *Chuckle* be careful with what you wish for. Unfortunately, ever since I was with that miserable boy Chris for decades now, these nightmare realms are a bit...more for his pallet.

Oliver: "With him"? *sigh* whatever, I don't have time for this...what's first?

???: Heh, that isn't my choice. It's yours. You get to choose which one of your so called "friends" to save...Well...All except for Martha. She's saved for last.

Oliver: wait, is it individually, or is it universal?

???: Do you wish to save them or not?

Oliver: fine fine, sheesh, I was only asking.
*Oliver decides to save Victoria and Gamma first. Suddenly a portal opens up in front of Oliver. The dark figure slowly morphs it's face is half of Gamma's and half of Victoria's face.*

???: Good luck maggot...Heh heh heh...
*Oliver huffs and heads inside to face what awaited him. He walks through what seemed like a corridor. Then he can hear some soft voices all around him.*

Female voice: aww... Look at him. Such an angel.

Male voice: what shall we name him?

Female voice: my mother was constantly telling me we must name him Christian.

Male voice: Christian...That's a wonderful name.

*Suddenly a loud explosion was heard and the faint sound of fire and a baby crying was all Oliver heard before it all fades away.*
Oliver: aww crap...
*Oliver starts running toward an ominous glow in the distance. the darkness vanishes and the area changes and shifts to the fire that would have engulfed Chris' parents. But then, The area flashes white and soon he arrives in a quiet library.*

Oliver: h-huh...? W-What's going on...?

???: just ignore that. It's just some old remnants of Christian's life. Now, in order to "save" your friends. You must think like them. And when they are in range...Strike them down to dust. Their own soul crystal will float out.

Oliver: right. And is this legit, or you trying to mess with my head to make me f**k this up faster?
*Oliver thinks, and starts to search the library.*

???: If I was, you'd be dead already.
*Oliver soon finds a mindless, grey Victoria at a table, reading a huge book. She seems silent and more docile than normal.*

Victoria: ...There isn't anything to read here...Such a bore...

Oliver: ...okay...now what..?

???: Kill her... She will drop her soul and you'll be able to collect it.

Oliver: ...*phew...* Okay...I've played Dark Souls and Bloodborne enough times to do this...
*Soon, a fading sound fills the room, and Oliver then picks up a small purple ember.*

Victoria: hmm...? Oh... Another one that wishes to read with me? Come little boy, grab a book and read with me...

Oliver: ?!! *w-what the heck?!*
*Oliver backs up quickly.*

???: Well... Kill her. They will not fight.
*Oliver presses the ember onto Victoria. She crumbles and a violet ember emerges, resonating her soul. her soul was a floating purple heart, her faint voice was heard.*

Victoria's Soul: ...I-I just wanted someone to read to...
*Oliver holds the soul close. Suddenly, He finds himself in an abandoned garage, the faint sound of hammering and car engines fill the room.*

???: Good. Very good. Chris would have done the same thing.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver heads inside to find Gamma in her grease monkey uniform working on a car. He sees a pink ember in the back of the room.*

Gamma: *Huff* man. This beauty sure is needy. Can't get the fan-belt out of it's socket.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver finds the ember and presses it on Gamma's back. it burns her away before she can do anything, and Oliver collects her soul. Like Victoria, Gamma' soul floats down and whispers to Oliver.*

Gamma's Soul: ...sorry for bugging you too much kid...

Oliver: okay...who next...?
*Oliver suddenly hears the screeching of a car. He exits to find Thomas' gang coming to attack.*

Thomas: alright Gamma. I'm waiting for my car for long enough. Is she fixed? ...hey...You're not Gamma.

Oliver: No. She's not here...not anymore...
*Due to Hell itself, hearing this corrupts Thomas and his gang and they begin to attack Oliver.*

Thomas: well then I gotta put the blame on someone...So your gonna get a real beatdown...
*Suddenly Thomas's car comes to life and revs it's engine. Starting to chase Oliver.*

Oliver: well that's all my nope.
*Oliver vaults over the hood of the car and picks up a wrench. As the brutes attack, Oliver smacks them away with the wrench, hard enough to knock them out. The car starts giving chase and Oliver runs back over to the portal.*

Oliver: this is YOUR stop pal!
*Oliver flips over the car and lets it crash in the empty dimension, leaving Oliver and Thomas to fight.*

Thomas: do you know how much that car was kid?!

Oliver: As much as Gamma was to you before you screwed up her life?!

Thomas: w-what? Bah, nevermind.

Oliver: not nevermind! You USED her! And now, I’m gonna make you pay for it!

???: May I suggest leaving. You are not here for him.

Oliver: grr...
*Oliver clutches the soul and warps to a gun range with Ashley using her revolver.*

???: Not so fast Oliver. You must bring back the souls. The more you collect, the more corrupted the world will be. Just take a break every so often.

Oliver: wait, the base with the baddies was destroyed right? Where exactly to I take them?

???: Just come to me.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver focuses and soon finds himself in a dark void with the figure.*

???: There we go. Now, place the soul crystals on the ground...They will stay there until you have collected all of them.
*Oliver does so before leaving.*

???: Tell me...Has Chris ever been...Aggressive? Or violent towards you or your friends?

Oliver: once, but that was him on his little syringe things.

???: Ah yes, the drug he calls "Psycho". I've always knew he needed to be tough, but I never thought he'd resort to that...How much pain has he inflicted? Hmm?

Oliver: from what I’ve seen, he only inflicts major damage in life or death situations.

???: Hmm...Strange. He still shows weakness. Now, on with your next target. Ashley, was it?

Oliver: yeah.
*Oliver warps back to Ashley. He warps to the gun range. The sounds of gunshots were heard from one of the booths. Ashley was seen adding more rounds to her trusty revolver.*

Ashley: huh? Hey, who let a kid in here?
*Oliver finds an ammo box containing an emerald ember. He walks up and used it on Ashley, causing her to burn away. Moments later, Ashley's soul floats down.*

Ashley's Soul: ...I guess I've been an *sshole for far too long...Right?

Oliver: tch...
*Oliver clutches the soul and works on searching for Jacob. He warps to a nice looking bar, Jacob was seen playing pool with some other guys.*

Jacob: aaaaaannnd... Yeah! Got it! You guys owe me a beer.

Goodra 1: heh heh, alright.

Goodra 2: next one won't be so lucky.

Oliver: ...?
*Oliver searches around for an ember.*

Jacob: hmm? Ay kiddo, you uhh...You looking for your dad or something?
*Oliver spots the ember, at the end of the pool cue he was using.*

Jacob: uhh... Kid? Ya deaf or something?
*Oliver just picks up the ember and fizzles out Jacob. Like the others, Jacob's soul floats into Oliver's hands.*

Jacob's Soul: ...I guess I could have been better.

???: You do know that you can talk to them, right?

Oliver: I know. I just don’t want to as it’s making it worse than it already is.
Goodra 1: d-did you just kill our friend?

Goodra 2: the hell is wrong with you?!

Oliver: ...
*Oliver warps away back to the figure to deposit the second set of souls.*

???: Excellent. 4 souls down. Many... Many more to go...

Oliver: wait, do I know you?

???: I don't know. Do you know me?

Oliver: ...I don’t know. I feel like I do, but at the same time I don’t know...

???: Now here's a better question...Do you know Chris?

Oliver: yes?

???: Do you REALLY know him?

Oliver: I know he had a rough past, would have no parents if not for me, he builds weapons on the daily, and is Pamela’s boyfriend. Yeah, mostly.

???: HA! you know nothing about him. He is so much more that what you think he is.

Oliver: what do YOU see him as then?

???: He is an assassin in a pathetic boy's body. He is a literal demon hiding among you. But there are more to be told in the future.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver heads into another portal. He finds himself in an abandoned gym. Finding Galy and Marco inside. Before Oliver can get a move on, the room flashes white again. Oliver then hears more voices.*
Female kid voice: heh heh. Here comes the little squirt.

Male kid voice 1: can he not take a hint? He doesn't belong here.

Male voice 2: shush. Here he comes.

* Some footsteps were heard as someone approached the bullies. Suddenly some worried screams and shreaks. Soon it was silent... Then the sound of chewing was all Oliver heard*

Chris' Voice: I don't know... But I don't like this...

???'s voice: they were bullies. All you needed to do... WAS BULLY THEM BACK HARDER WITH THEIR SINS AND FEARS LOOKING BACK AT THEM.

Chris' voice: but I don't want to do that to everyone.

???'s voice: just wear something to cover your...No eyes. Like a pair of glasses.

*Soon the soft sound of Chris's sobs fade away. Soon Oliver fades back into the gymnasium.*
Oliver: ...?! What the...

???: Just another memory from Chris. The boy is learning, isn't he?

Oliver: looks that way...

???: Yes...The little devil is growing to be a swell demon...Unleashing fear into others that deserves it.

Oliver: ...

???: Now, go collect those souls. Unless you no longer care about your friends.

Oliver: OhMyGod. Enough of this, I’m going.
*Oliver finds the embers and fizzles out both Galy and Marco. The Process repeats, Oliver collecting his friends souls as he walks away with them.*

Marco's Soul: ...was I... too tough?

Galy's soul: ...w-what did we do...To deserve death?

Oliver: ...nothing. I’ll be with you guys soon.
*Oliver drops off the souls before getting warped to a lab.*

???: Okay, as of now, your friends will start to fight you if they know what you are up to. So be careful and don't get killed.

Oliver: hey, whatever it takes.
*Oliver creeps around the lab. He finds Pamela staring at a static screen in the dark.*

Pamela: i-it just doesn't make sense... How and why would Chris act like this... T-this... Negative energy... It's so powerful... He is no normal goodra... But what is he...Really?

*Pamela goes through some notes and observations about Chris. Oliver creeps around and finds the ember. He creeps up behind Pamela and fizzles her out, using the ember. Pamela's soul floats to the ground...But it starts to shake wildly. Suddenly she reforms and comes back.*

Pamela: w-what just...You were trying to kill me...Weren't you...? Well you're gonna have to try harder then that.

*Pamela makes a run for the next room, the metal door locks behind her.*
Oliver: sigh...

*Oliver takes a running start at the door before barging it down.Pamela was then seen in some battle mech ready to fight Oliver.*

Pamela: *huff* good luck...I can hold out on my own.

Oliver: this is just great...

???: Prepare yourself boy. She is dangerous.
*Pamela starts up the mech and begins the fight. Swinging her large mechanical fists at Oliver.*

Oliver: A huge hunk of metal this big has a weak spot. Just gotta find em.
*Oliver breaks the glass pod that acts as a shield for Pamela before tearing out a panel that had wires for the Robot’s interface.Pamela struggles to repair the control panel, leaving the power source exposed oh the mech's back. Oliver tears out the interface in the robot’s back. It jutters and shakes before exploding. Pamela’s soul floats over to him.*

Pamela's Soul: ... I've done nothing but hurt people...Haven't I...?

Oliver: Not at all Pam...
*Soon, Oliver finds himself in an abandoned boutique.*

???: Pitiful. All of your friends show weakness. They must be more like Chris. Emotionless, strong, powerful...

Oliver: tsk. If you were a physical person, I'd beat the living crap outta you for saying that.
*Suddenly, Oliver rolls out of the way of sewing needles. Soon Oliver's friends start act more aggressive. Gloria, dressed up In her Smash tournament outfit, glares at Oliver.*

Gloria: so I have received word that you are slaying those that are truly dear to you...Why?

Oliver: It's something much bigger than us Gloria. This is the only way I can save everyone.

Gloria: Nonsense! You're a cold blooded murderer. And your spree ends here...Christopher...

Oliver: C-Chris...?

???: They cannot tell if it's really you...So I hidden you in someone more fitting for the job.

Gloria: it pains me to do this...But you leave me no choice.
*Gloria rushes in and goes to attack Oliver. As Oliver blocks and defends, he talks to the voice in his head.*

Oliver: So...even though I'm in my body, they'll see me as Chris..?

???: Indeed...Still, they'd all perish by that little boy anyway.

Oliver: *hmm...okay...*
*Suddenly, Oliver knocks Gloria away, and comes across the ember. before planting it in Gloria's body. She starts to fizzle away.*

Gloria's Soul: ...oh bother...Just be wary. The others are a lot more skilled than me...

Oliver: ...only Galore, Chris...and...GG.
*Oliver is suddenly warped into an abandoned video game store.*

???: You also have to think about your dragon friends. Unless you want me to take them.

Oliver: If I save this universe, how do I get to the other ones? Calamarthia's universe is in the ocean, but I don't know if I can get to the Dragon Valley...is there a way for me to?

???: That's why you have me idiot. How else can Christian know about the multiple universes you and him roam through.

Oliver: well SORRY. I'm not used to having nightmares where all my friends die.
*Oliver hides behind a counter and watches as Galore plays Smash on the Nintendo switch. Once again, the room flashes white. More voices were heard in the background.*
*Dog barking with joy*

Chris' Voice: wow...I love him! He's so big.

Male Voice: his name is Cooper. He's a Labrador retriever.

Female voice: he's here to keep you comfortable...Maybe as a good friend.
*Soon the two adult voices walks away*

???: Kill the dog.

Chris' voice: w-what? Why?

???: He will bring you weakness...You know what, I'll do it for you.
*Suddenly the loud sound of a dog yelps and collapsing onto the floor, some ripping of flesh and bones were heard.*

Chris' voice: ...*sigh* at least I wasn't too attached.

???: Good. Very good. But next time, kill if I say so...
*Oliver then warps back to the same video game store.*

Oliver: ...?!

???: I had to show him, how do you say, tough love.

Oliver: tsk.

???: To be honest, I'm glad he was a troubled child. The perfect apprentice.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver finds the ember and stares at Galore before slowly approaching. Suddenly, Galore leaps from her chair and punches Oliver in the face, sending him back.*

Galore: sorry pal, but you're not gonna lay a finger on me.

Oliver: Ghk! Ugh...

Galore: what's wrong? You give up already?

Oliver: no...just outplayed you.
*Galore looks down, gasping at the ember that was planted under her foot.*

Galore: ...ah cra-
*Galore then starts to turn to dust, her soul floats down.*

Galore's Soul: ...well played kid...

Oliver: two to go...in this universe anyway...
*Oliver then gets warped to an abandoned school playground. There he finds Chris sat alone. Once again, another one of Chris' memories shows up. More voices are heard.*

Ashley's voice: heh heh, something bothering ya 4 eyes? Oh, that's right, you don't have anyone to comfort the weak baby you are.

Chris' voice: ...just... Just stop.

Ashley's voice: in your dreams. Well, I gotta go. See ya later you friggin' mistake.
*Soon Ashley's footsteps fade off.*

Chris' voice: I'd like to see her head mounted on my wall.

???: Ah, perfect. You're ready...But don't kill her just yet. There's something I need you to do. Remember that Dark Deception game?

Chris' voice: ...yeah?
*Oliver then sees flashbacks to all of his and everyone's adventures...Only with a different bloody twist.*

Oliver: !! grrr....!!
*Oliver clutches his head as the grey, faded Chris turns around.*

Chris: listen Oliver. I've done some horrible, unspeakable things. Just do what I did and accept what's given to you...Before you screw things up even more.

Oliver: you want me to leave you all to die? No way. Not a chance.

Chris: You should be like me and made no bond with...Them. Even Martha. But you've forced my hand...
*Chris then grows in size, he has a large grin of sharp teeth...And a second inner mouth. He draws out large claws and rushes at Oliver. He then uppercuts Chris with his power from the smash universe.*

Oliver: Chris! You're not listening! I'm not going to throw away everything just because a version of you said so. I LOVE EVERY LAST ONE of our friends! And I'm NOT going to stand by and let ANYONE screw that up! YOU HEAR ME?!
*Oliver barrels through the enlarged Chris before throwing him over his shoulder, causing a giant explosion. Chris only twitches and shrieks at Oliver. He then shape shifts into his older, full metal jacketed self. He starts shooting at Oliver with everything he's got.Oliver dodges before using a "Smash flick" sending Chris crashing backwards.*

Oliver: I'm not giving up Chris. No matter who stands in my way.
*Chris manged to stun Oliver with some pulse grenades. He rushes over and points his shotgun at his chest. He fires 4 round into his body, dazing Oliver heavily.*

Oliver: grrr...!!
*Suddenly Oliver teleports above Chris and finishes him with another smash move.*

Chris: *grunt* You'll fail like the rest of them...
*Chris shape shifts again, he transforms into his sea goodra form, he goes to crush Oliver with his tail as he stares him down.*

Oliver: No...I WON'T!
*Oliver leaps up at Chris, and puts a stop to him by throwing a blitzing blaze at him, burning him. Chris may be burning, but it only makes him angry, he throws down his fists and attempts to grind Oliver to dust. Oliver runs up Chris' arms. only to get caught and thrown into the school building. Suddenly, an insane power comes from Oliver as he flies through the air before lunging into Chris' face with a 100% Smash punch. Chris' body glows in light as he yells in pain. His soul floats away from him. He tries desperately to catch it, only for Oliver to clutch it in his hand before he has the chance. Finally, Oliver arrives outside him and GG's apartment room.*

Chris' soul: You're only digging your own grave... Just accept the fact that you are alone. You always make sure EVERYONE has a so called "happy ending". Setting a barrier to protect all sea goodras, making everyone immortal so that you don't lose them, making their past better from any and all issues...Just take what's given to you...Become like me, you'll hurt less people then...

*Oliver deposits the souls he retrieved as he makes his way into their room. Inside was GG sleeping in bed, the sound of Oliver entering the room makes her wake up.*

GG: huh? Oh, hee hee, Morning Oliver. When did you wake up so early?

Oliver: ...I went and got you a surprise.
*Something's not right. She's not hostile, and I'm still in my subconscious mind...what's going on...?*

???: Go on...Kill her boy...Or I have to do it myself.

GG: oh, hee hee. Alright, I won't peek.
*GG covers her eyes with her hands. Oliver stands there. He suddenly collapses with a shocking pain in his chest. He finds himself awake in a hospital bed with all the Goo Gang around him.*

Gamma: hey...He's waking up.

Victoria: oh, thank heavens.

Pamela: Oliver...Are you okay?

Oliver: ...G-Guys...?

Marco: don't worry Oliver. We're here for ya.

Ashley: you took a nasty hit to the head. Fortunately Chris found you and brought us here.

Oliver: W-Where's GG...?

Gloria: she's not here...For Some reason, she wasn't at home.
*Suddenly, reality shifts around Oliver ad he returns to the dream where he froze.*

GG: well...I'm waiting...Give it to me!

*...Oliver clutches GG's soul. He deposits it before kneeling over at her body.*
Oliver: ...I screwed up...

GG's Soul: ...I... I don't understand. I let you in my home, I take care of you, I shared my feelings for you... And this is how you treat me...?
*Oliver just collapses on the ground. The voice in his head takes a physical form and brings the souls to Oliver.*

???: Now...It is done. The first of your friends are saved. And now for the rest...
*the souls all chant the same thing at Oliver.*

Souls: traitor... Traitor... TRAITOR...

Oliver: Just show me the universes I need to save...

???: Just that dragon one. And you'll be free to go.

Oliver: ...No. I'll save them all. Every. Last. One.
*Oliver gets to work. The entity watches him as he "Saves" everyone's souls. Hours pass and he brings every last soul to the entity. Enduring overwhelming guilt with each strike, Oliver doesn't allow himself to heal, as a reminder of every innocent life he had to take to save them. Dragon Valley, the underwater Glade, Goowell Isle, Goo City, everywhere was free of the hell's curse.*

???: Perfect...Absolutely perfect. You've brought them all here...In one place...*Chuckle* you make a fine apprentice Oliver...

Oliver: thanks...now PLEASE Can I have my life back. Like, my not subconscious one?

Havoc: not after I finally introduce myself. I am Havoc boy. The universe's new leader...All thanks...

*Havoc brings up it's hand with the ring, it glows red along with his eyes*

Havoc: to you...

*Havoc cluches his hand, all of the souls shatter and turn to dust. The screams of pain and suffering were echoing around the void... Except for Chris' soul...*

Oliver: !!! NO!

*Havoc cackles as he gains more power in the ring.*
Havoc: now...I'd kill you...But I want to see your ex-friend do it.

*Havoc then grabs Chris' soul and fuses it with the ring, it pulses in a white glow*
Havoc: now my apprentice. I want you to wipe this boy out of existence across the whole multiverse. Erase him, the MISTAKE he is...

Chris' soul: ...
*Oliver waits for the end...But nothing happened...*

Oliver: ...?

Havoc: ...? Hey, apprentice. Do as I tell you and destroy him. Eliminate, slaughter, kill him...

Chris' soul: ...

Havoc: KILL. HIM. HE IS YOUR ONLY THREAT!!! NO ONE OTHER THAN HIM IS A FOE!!!.

Chris' soul: ...yes master...
*Suddenly a blue blast fills the void...Except it was towards Havoc, Oliver is left uninjured and with all his full powers.*

Oliver: ...?! M-my powers...! They’re back...Good.
*Oliver uses a spell to return Chris to his physical form with all his artillery and weaponry.*

Chris: *huff* thanks...But this is not a two man job...

*Chris glows bright blue and chants something in spanish...Soon the dust of what used to be dead souls rise back up and reform into all of Oliver's friends. GG, Shodan, Gamma, Traxton, Pamela, David, Baytax, the residents of Goowell isle, Nathan, his Symbiote, Harold, Angelica, everyone.*

Chris: I've messed up. Big time. I've hurt thousands of innocent people...It's time I fix that.

Oliver: ...?!
*Oliver powers up, not even being able to face them all in the eye.*

Galore: looks like a boss battle coming up.

Draxi: don't worry Oliver...

Sally: ...we're behind ya all the way!

Phoebe: show that beast how powerful of a warrior you are.

Angelica: we may be the bad guys, but let's bring down this creep.

Ashley: buck up kid, we'll always get up.

Calamarthia: let's make him sleep with the dishes!

Pamela: according to my calculations...

Rylar: ...a 100% chance of victory!

Oliver: ...y-you’re right. All of you...
*Suddenly, the void around everyone cracks. The area becomes the wasteland the goo gang fought Necrozma. Havoc rises from the land, his eyes fuming with flames.*

Havoc: you have betrayed me Christian. I give you power, gifts, everything a demon wants and you squandered them all away for some idiotic mortals!!

Chris: I've already got what I want. A great batch of people who ACTUALLY take care of me...Now it's time I return the favour. After all, YOU gave me infinite power for the rest of my life.
*Chris' heart glows blue as he pounds his chest.*

Oliver: these “mortals” are the ones who are gonna send you straight back to hell!

Havoc: I'd like to see you all try...
*Havoc then summons up an entire shadow army of evil copies of Oliver's friends.*

GG: it's alright Oliver...We got this...
*Oliver raises an arm before slamming it down. It creates a huge earthquake that eradicated the clones.*

Havoc: grrrr...FINE!!! I can destroy all of you myself anyway.
*Chris pulls out his Gatiling Laser, Calamarthia goes in her Medusa form, everyone begins to prepare for battle. This song starts to play as Chris leads the charge. m.youtube.com/watch?v=O5NRHnG4…. *

Chris: CHARGE!!!
Oliver: LET'S GO!!!
*Everyone charges throwing everything they had at Havoc. Blow after blow he takes as he tries to tap into more powers of the ring to no avail.*

David: heh, you don't put up much of a fight!

Vix: all flash...

Nix: ...and no bang!

Victoria: it's people like you that deserve the most cruel of punishments.

Oliver: HAVOC!!!
*Oliver tears into havoc with all his moves, barraging him with lethal attacks...

Oliver: GO TO HELL!!! SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!
...before sending him plummeting back to the ground. Suddenly, a fiery vortex opened below Havoc. It was the gateway to hell.*

Havoc: *grunt* I... Refuse... To be defeated by a mortal...!
*Havoc grabs onto the ledge before falling into the pits of hell. Chris walks up to him and stares him down.*

Havoc: Christian...You are forever cursed until you aid me right now.

Chris: heh...You can't curse a god...

Havoc: I AM A GOD!!!

Chris: ...not anymore...
*Chris ends it off with a charges swing from his super-sledge and cracks it on Havoc's head, it shatters into nothing as he plummets into the depths.*

Oliver: good riddance...

Chris: ...*sigh* there...It is done...
*GG comes running in and gives Oliver a big hug, soon the rest of the good gang follow. Chris just stands out from the group, looking over to them. Oliver backs off hastily and looks at GG and the others.*

Oliver: W-Why are you all so trusting...? I..I killed all of you because of that thing...

GG: we all know you never meant to hurt us. That thing was pure evil and mislead you.

Victoria: much like it mislead our shy friend over there.

Oliver: I-I...
*Oliver hugs GG and he starts to cry.*

Pamela: do not cry Oliver. It's all over now.

GG: shh shh...Everyone here is okay thanks to you.

Marco: well...We also gotta give credit to Chris too.

Chris: w-what? Me? Why...?

Oliver: If you and your soul didn't...*sniff* fight back against that guy, everything would have been gone for sure...

Galy: yeah. You're no demon person. You have a caring heart for your peers.

Ashley: yeah...And now that I've seen about everything you can do...I'm so sorry about all the things I've done to you.

David: c'mon kiddo! We don't bite.
*David stretches his arm and bring Chris in with the rest of the group.*

Gamma: forget about screwing things up...You are an amazing friend.

Pamela: and above and beyond love interest. Now let's see those optical sensors.

Chris: u-uhh...
*Pamela removes Chris' glasses he covers his face... But this time, he has a normal looking face. Two purple eyes and a normal looking mouth. No teeth, no demon powers, completely free.*

Oliver: See? Heh, you're okay. No demon powers, no corrupted ideals. Normal, just like all of us.

Pamela: *blushes* wow...You love e-even more attractive...

Gloria: hee hee, easy tiger. He's been through a lot.

GG: and Chris. Every-time someone says that your weak or a mistake, they don't Know how strong you are.

Jacob: yeah. You've had a pretty crappy life as a kid...But you're still here.

Sally: you've survived a fire, a stabbing, two abusive parents, bullies, baddies, and everything in-between.

Pamela: and now... We got two handsome males protecting us.

Chris: *blushes* heh...Heh heh. Thanks guys...Really.
*Chris gives a big smile as he hugs everyone.*

Oliver: heh. Thanks Chris. Now umm...how exactly do we get all these guys back to their homes..?

Chris: leave that to me. Good morning Oliver...
*Soon Oliver starts to wake up, as if it was all an entire dream. GG was sleeping right next to them. Roxie and Absolea both curled up and sleeping together. The nightmare was over.*

Oliver: ?!
*Oliver wakes up with a start. He looks next to him to see GG sound asleep. He goes about his day as if it was a normal day. Moments later, GG wakes up.*

GG: *yawn* morning Oliver.

Oliver: m-morning...!
*Oliver trembles for a moment as GG sits up. He quickly hugs her.*

GG: woah, hee hee...What's this about? We're the snuggles at night not enough for you?

Oliver: n-no...it’s not that...I just...had a REALLY bad dream last night...

GG: oh...You wanna talk about it?

Oliver: I-I umm...
*Oliver begins to tremble in GG’s arms.*

GG: O-Oliver? Just tell me.

Oliver: ...I was forced to kill everyone by a demon from hell...

GG: oh...Oliver...It's okay.
*GG comes closer and comforts Oliver by hugging him tightly.*

GG: it was all just a bad dream.

Oliver: ...

GG: nothing like that is ever gonna happen to you, me, or anyone else here. Not sure what made you think that, but maybe you should stay away from it.

Oliver: that nightmare's over...I can talk about it now...

GG: well...Don't leave me in suspense. What happened in that head of yours?
*Oliver takes a minute to compose himself before telling GG the WHOLE ordeal with the nightmares, the villain encounters, and the...massacre. and the battle that led to his waking.*

GG: oh God...t-that must've been horrible to experience.

Oliver: it was...I-I'm sorry...

GG: what? What are you sorry for?

Oliver: Just...*sigh*...n-nothing...it's fine...

GG: no. Tell me. Maybe I can help.

Oliver: C-Could we invite everyone over later...? Y'know, for like a big slumber party or something...?

GG: o-oh...S-sure thing.
*Oliver and GG go about their day. Later, as Oliver dozes off, GG talks to everyone on a voice chat on her computer.*

Ashley: ...and he's been having these nightmares for a while now?

GG: yeah...He's very disturbed about it.

Gloria: poor thing...How is he now?

GG: he said that it was like some final Battle against some mythic evil. And it all tied to Chris somehow.

Gamma: maybe I can give Chris a little chat when we all come over for the slumber party.

Lunala: That would be a good idea Gamma. We too were involved in these nightmares. But, it is a shame that the poor child has to go through something like this...

Ashley: yeah. I'm always a rough and tough kind of gal, but that is just torture.

Gloria: I'll bring some of my greatest selection of herbal teas for Oliver.

Gamma: Lunala, you've seen his nightmare. What has Chris done to him?

Lunala: Not Chris Gamma. But a being called Havoc manipulating him. Oliver was forced to "Save" you all, by killing either docile or malicious versions of you all to extract their souls. Then Havoc extinguished the souls in front of him, effectively killing you all. But then Chris refused to die brought everyone back to life and all of us banded together to kill Havoc.

Ashley: oh. For a second there, I thought Chris enjoyed killing us all...Although I have bugged him a whole bunch when he was younger.

Lunala: Havoc masked Oliver in an Illusion so the versions of you killed in the dream recognised Oliver's presence as Chris and not his own.

GG: my point is that both Oliver and possibly Chris are hurting after this terrible ordeal.

Gamma: alright...we'll talk more when we come over.

Ashley: see ya later GG.

Gloria: toodles.

Gamma: bye!
*Everyone ends their video chat, GG powers off her computer and closes it. Looking over to Oliver in worry.*

GG: what did he see in there...?
*Oliver joins GG in the kitchen after his nap.*

GG: oh, hey Oliver. Did you finally get some sleep?

Oliver: uh-huh. Yeah. I’m still a little off, but I’ll work it outta my system.

GG: good. Because soon our friends are coming over for the slumber party. I'm gonna go run to the supermarket and get some snacks. You fine being here all alone, or do you want to come with me?

Oliver: I’ll come with. ^^

GG: alright. Well let's go!
*GG and Oliver both make their way to the supermarket. Hours go by and soon people start to arrive.*

David: hello?

Ashley: anybody home?

GG: in the kitchen!

Oliver: umm...h-hey guys. Y’all doing okay?

Ashley: yeah.

David: never better Oliver!

GG: just make yourselves comfortable, I'm working on food here.
*An hour later everyone shows up and the party can begin.*

Galy: heh heh, leave it to GG to host another great party.

Victoria: so, is everyone here?

Gamma: almost...
*Soon Chris arrives...looking a little different. His blue hoodie now looks to be brand new, you can see now he has purple eyes, and he's got a big smile on his face.*

Chris: heh heh, hey guys.

Pamela: oh wow...Chris...you uhh...

Victoria: you look different.

Gloria: my my, such a beautifully sewn hoodie. It's an improvement from that old, grungy one.

Oliver: yeah. You look great!

Sally: finally, ya cleaned those glasses. Now we can see your peepers for once.

Oliver: yeah...whoa.

Chris: yeah...uhh...about that...

Jacob: are you a witch or something?

Pamela: well I think he looks absolutely attractive with those beautifully clear eyes.

Chris: *blushes* eheh heh... thanks...

Oliver: heh, now you gotta watch out for Pam getting lost in your eyes.

Gamma: Who knows, maybe you can tease Pam like how Martha teases Oliver with her body. Heh heh heh.

Gloria: he does show immense appreciation for Martha and how she dances. It'n that right darling?

Oliver: !!
*Oliver stiffens up as his face goes red.*

GG: *giggle* Now look what you guys did.

Jacob: don't worry Oliver. It's nothing serious.

Oliver: I-I know...
*Soon, the party gets underway and everyone goes about their business. Chris and Oliver set up a gaming station, GG set up a food spread for everyone, Gamma and Galore set up the music. The party was going swimmingly.*

Chris: so...You doin' alright. After...Y-you know...

Oliver: I-I guess...I’m just trying not to think about it. But..speaking of, are the other universes okay...?

Chris: yeah, they're fine. As if nothing has touched them...*sigh* listen Oliver, it's pretty clear that none of them know what just happened. And I don't wanna freak everyone out buy saying that I once was a demon...

*Chris plugs in his Switch system as Mario Kart boots up*
Chris: ...so let's just kick back, relax, and dominate Galore and Gamma in Mario Kart. Hmm?

Oliver: sure. S-sure. Heh.
*Oliver and Chris invite GG Gamma and Galore over for a few rounds in Mario Kart. They begin a few races on 200CC. They were rough, but they were fun.*

Gamma: oh god da-

Gloria: ahem!

Gamma: uhh...g-good game you guys.

Chris: thanks Gamma.

Galore: is it me, or are you more competitive than last time?

Chris: eh, maybe.

Oliver: to be honest, I haven’t played this in a while.

Gamma: I figured.

Galore: I expected Chris to stay quiet and destroy us...okay, he still destroyed us, but you were a bit chatty today.

Gamma: yeah...who are you and what have you done to the Chris we all love?

Oliver: heh, this is the same Chris.

Chris: yup. The one and only...*whispers to Oliver* in this universe there is...

Oliver: *heh* yup.
*Soon, the games become more intense. And finally, the last race. The map was...modern rainbow road.*

Galore: heh heh, good luck you guys.

Chris: ...yeah, you're gonna need it.

Oliver: tell me about it...
*the race begins as it’s an absolute mess from start to finish.*

Gamma: frickin' hell man! That's the third time I've fallen of the darn map!

Galore: and Chris is just handling it oh so calmly.

Chris: why fuss at something you know is hard?

Oliver: Yeah, I agree. ...to a point.

Galore: grrr... I want to strangle something...GOD....FRICKIN' LUIGI!!

Chris: someone sounds ticked off...

Gamma: how are you taking this so well? Your in 8th.

Chris: I'm just taking my time...

Oliver: phew...this is a kids game too. I can kinda see how these bring out the worst in people...

Gamma: heh heh, Oliver...look behind-
*Oliver gets knocked off the track by a green shell thrown by Gamma. She gets cocky and screws up her turn and she too falls off.*

Gamma: ...my dumb kart doesn't corner well.

Oliver: hehe. Karma's not doing so good for you, huh?
*Oliver soon finds himself in 3rd.*

Galore: heh heh, I got you this time Oliver...

*Galore throws a couple of red shells at Oliver. Suddenly Chris heroically swerves in and takes the hit for Oliver.*
Chris: I saved you.

Gamma: what an evil thing to do.

Galore: FFFFFFFUUUUUU!! YOU KNEW I WAS SAVING THOSE Y-YOU!! YOU!!
*Before any of the racers knew it, the race ended. Oliver in 2nd, Galore and Gamma joint in 8th, and the winner being...Chris.*

Gamma: Once again, owned by Chris and his mad gaming skills.

Ashley: heh heh, someone's losing her touch.

Galore: *grumble* whatever. Oliver also lost.

Oliver: Eh, top three counts as a win in my book.

Chris: maybe take your time and keep calm next time.

Oliver: hehe. Take note Gamma.

Gamma: w-well...I uhh...

Chris: yeah, chill out. It's not like it's to the death or anything.

Oliver: yeah.
*Soon, Oliver goes for a wander. He finds Vic looking up at the stars.*

Victoria: wow...Such a beautiful night tonight...

Oliver: V-Vic? w-what are you doing out here..? the party too much for you...?

Victoria: no...Well, yes. I'm gonna have to wash Gamma's mouth with ten bars of soap tonight. But I'm just enjoying the view.

Oliver: Okay...hey listen umm...I was wondering if you'd like to go to the library sometime?

Victoria: oh...Really? What for?

Oliver: to hang out.

Victoria: really? Well then. Hope you got a good book to read.

Oliver: actually...I don’t. Maybe I could pick one up!

Victoria: not sure what interests you. Are you in to for reading, science fiction? Mystery? History?

Oliver: I like the adventurer genre! Like beast quest or goosebumps!

Victoria: hmm...I think I can recommend you some good books.

Oliver: yes please!

Victoria: anything for you Oliver.
*Suddenly Chris walks out with Solgaleo and Lunala.*

Chris: oh...Hey Vic. Uhh...Can I talk to Oliver here...Alone?

Victoria: oh, yeah. Sure.
*Victoria walks back inside. Chris walks over with a Stern look on his face.*

Chris: Lunala just told me what happened...

Oliver: ...yeah?

Chris: I uhh...I'm sorry that you had to go through that...Before, I was taught to hurt people...I used my rough past as...Like a bridge for evil...

Oliver: oh...

Chris: ...I brought this all on you and everyone else...I shouldn't have.

Oliver: it’s okay Chris. It’s over now.

Chris: ...I don't know...Solgaleo told me what you were forced to do...

Oliver: Chris, blame the dark thoughts you had in the back of your mind. It’s fine to feel that way but wrong to act on it.

Chris: you don't understand. I've hurt thousands of other people...

Oliver: I do. I was literally there hours ago. You’ve atoned. We won.

Chris: not just here. The dragon valley, the coral kingdom, everywhere where you and I have been to.

Oliver: I know...I know bud.
*Oliver hugs Chris.*

Oliver: With a mind like yours and emotions to back it, it can either be a blessing or a curse. And I guess we've seen what the curse is, so lets keep it a blessing, yeah?

Chris: yeah...I just...Never had anyone as nice and caring as you. Or Martha, or Victoria l, or anyone...Well, maybe not Ashley...

Oliver: Ash has her moments.

Chris: sometimes...But my point is that before you guys came into my life, before you brought my parents back, my life was well down to a shi- I-I mean, dark place. Bullies, bad foster parents, bystanders that just hated me. It felt so nice that someone was looking out for me.

Oliver: ...

Chris: so, yeah...I really appreciate all the help you and everyone has done for me. Even though sometimes I can be a real pain.

Oliver: C'mon. you're not a pain. the only person who thinks your a pain are Gamma and Galore when you clean house in Mario Kart or Smash.

Chris: really? Not even when I uhh...Umm, had like zero trust for you guys. I mean, I've been crafting some gadgets and weapons...J-just in case one of you found out about my secret...And wanted to end me...

Oliver: Not even then.

Chris: ...heh. now I feel pretty silly.
*Chris smiles for a bit as he Strokes Solgaleo's mane. Lunala Comforts him by hugging him.*

Lunala: It's alright dear. This is your future. Where all your friends are thriving, and no threats will come our way.

Chris: heh...Yeah, you're right. Well, in this universe anyway. The many other ones it's probably gonna be my old self. But I want to relish this one.

Lunala: well said dear.
Oliver: alright, c'mon. We got a party to enjoy!

Chris: Sure...After all, I know there's someone in there wants me to be by her side.

Oliver: That's right. C'mon. Let's go inside.
*Oliver, Chris, Solgaleo, and Lunala all head back inside. Everyone was dancing to music on a stereo blasting out loud music.*

Oliver: hehe. guess we got some catching up to do.

Chris: yup...
*Chris walks proudly over to Pamela and takes her by the hand, dancing the salsa with her. Oliver chuckles as he watches, unaware that GG was dancing right next to him and hip checks him by mistake.*

GG: whoa! Uhh... heh heh, my bad.

Oliver: heh, it's fine. Nice moves.

Gloria: *chuckle* got lost in the rhythm again Martha dear?

GG: yeah...I guess.

Oliver: heh, maybe I can help.
*Oliver takes GG's hand and starts dancing with her.*

GG: hee hee, what's got you in a dancin' groove lately?

Oliver: Well, it's a party! Might as well enjoy myself right?
*Everybody dances the night away. The two inkys and their cartoon swing, Ashley and Jacob with some Semi-aggressive moves, even Solgaleo and Lunala with some slow dancing. Soon it draws to a close and the food starts to come out.*

Galore: oh boy! Pizza!

GG: thanks. Made them myself. Dig in everyone. I've got a dozen for you.

Oliver: whoa...

Galy: no thanks. I'm on my diet.

GG: so... you won't take these veggie pizzas?

Galy: uhh... well I guess so.

GG: hee hee, alright. And as for my two wonderful pets, a dog friendly pizza just for the two of you.
*GG hands Absolea and Roxie a small pizza on a paper plate, the two bounce with joy.*

David: quite the bounty of pies here Martha.

Ashley: *nom* yeah. And that they're made by you...*nom* oooh...sooo goood.

Oliver: heh, Couldn't agree more.
*Oliver starts eating his pizza. His eyes twinkle with every bite.*

GG: well I'm glad everyone loves them. Especially Oliver and Lunala here.

Victoria: *nom, gulp* you should open like a restaurant.

Gamma: yeah, you'd make millions!

GG: I don't care about money. All I care about is that someone enjoys my cooking.
*Oliver and Lunala chuckle as they eat GG's pizza.*

Pamela: indeed. With such a favourable pallet of delicacies, you'd make an above optimal income.

Chris: *nom* yeah. I've had lots of pizza over the...many years. But none are this good.

Jacob: yeah. Look at the big lion. He's goin' crazy over it.

Ashley: not as crazy as he's head over paws for Lunala.

Solgaleo: ! H-Hey!
*Solgaleo blushes and his fur turns red.*

Galore: aww, it the big, mean cat gone soft over his lover?

Gamma: *chuckle* yeah. I thought you were fierce.

*Lunala floats behind Gamma and Galore, sending chills down their spines.*
Lunala: I wonder if Martha and Oliver would like two servants living with her?

Gamma: u-uhh...

Galore: ...g-great pizza Martha...heh heh...

Lunala: *giggle* Glad you two like it.

Victoria: hee hee, thanks for keteping them in check Lunala.

Pamela: indeed. They keep pestering me and Chris that we've never kissed before.

Chris: then let's end that...
*Chris then leans over and gives Pamela a big, long kiss on the lips. Her whole face glows bright red. Everyone wide eyed at Chris.*

Ashley: ...damm.

Gamma: holy...who knew you had the pair to actually do that in front of us.

Pamela: *blushes bright red*...just give me a minute...

Oliver: whoa...

Chris: *chuckle* you alright Pam?

Pamela: y-yes...I'm j-j-just...surprised...

Oliver: heh. Looks like it.

GG: heh, glad that you both are happy with each other. Just like a certain someone here.

Oliver: !! hehe...yeah.

Ashley: heh, you lost your macho Oliver? Was it when GG used her *ss to knock ya down on the dance floor?

Oliver: no! course not!

Ashley: heh heh, then why are you all nervous? Can't get that outta your head?

Oliver: !! *huff*
*Oliver blushes as he eats his pizza quietly.*

GG: well it is something "big" to be on his mind. Hee hee.

Ashley: "big"? You mean huge! *chuckle*
*Oliver grumbles as he eats.*

Victoria: well I don't suppose that Lunala can straighten Ashley out.

Ashley: pff, as if being a servant is all that bad. She doesn't scare me.

Lunala: hmm. I'll remember that Ashley.

Chris: knowing Lunala as a Moon Goddess, you have about...361 reasons why you should be afraid of her Ashley.

Ashley: ha! Good luck with that.

Lunala: *chuckle.*
*Later, the party comes to a close, and everyone settles down for the night.*

GG: alright. Everyone's gotta full belly and ready for sleep.

Sally: yup. *yawn* a star of the stage must get her beauty sleep.

Gloria: agreed.

Oliver: yaaaawn...I'm ready for sleep...

Gamma: yeah, you gonna sleep on top of her belly tonight Oliver?

GG: hee hee hee, he might.

Oliver: ...and what if I do?

Ashley: oh nothing, it's just so cute how you sleep.

Gloria: indeed. he has done the same to me once.

Oliver: !!!
*Oliver blushes bright red.*

Jacob: heh heh, that is cute.

Gamma: are you gonna snuggle it and mumble in your sleep?

Oliver: ?! grr...
*Oliver teleports away.*

GG: *giggle* guess he's sleeping somewhere else tonight.

Victoria: you know Gamma, you and the rest of you that keep teasing him are gonna get in deep trouble soon.

Ashley: eh, it's fine. it's not like we're bulling him.

Gamma: plus, maybe being a servant isn't all that bad.
*Soon, GG finds Oliver in their room. curled in a ball, still blushing.*

GG: hey Oliver. don't worry about them. I'm sure they'll get what's coming to them.

Oliver: I *yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn...* hope so.

GG: don't you worry...I think more than Lunala has got your back.

Oliver: Yeah...I do too. but...for now, how about we get some rest?

GG: yeah. and don't worry, I locked the door so that no one can enter our room and sneak some pictures.

Oliver: O-Okay.

GG: heh heh. now...
*GG climbs in bed with Oliver, getting under the covers.*

GG: does someone want to sleep on someone much more comfortable?

Oliver: Y-Yes please..!
*Oliver cuddles with GG. His warmth heats GG up as he is still blushing.*

GG: *giggle* good, because I don't think either one of us can sleep a wink tonight without... *yawn* each other.

Oliver: Y-Yeah...hehe.

GG: ...g-goodnight Oliver...

Oliver: Goodnight GG.
*Oliver gives GG a kiss on the cheek before settling down to sleep. Chris too, can now rest easy, knowing his curse has subverted into the blessing it once was, and can now truly be at peace with who he was...and who he had to protect.*

Oliver belongs to me.

Description
*After making a deal with the literal devil, Oliver makes his was back to GG's now empty apartment. Inside was the black figure itself.*

???: So, you wish to bring your friends back, yes? Well I'll tell you that it's no easy feat.

Oliver: I don't care. I'll go through hell and more to get them back.

???: *Chuckle* be careful with what you wish for. Unfortunately, ever since I was with that miserable boy Chris for decades now, these nightmare realms are a bit...more for his pallet.

Oliver: "With him"? *sigh* whatever, I don't have time for this...what's first?

???: Heh, that isn't my choice. It's yours. You get to choose which one of your so called "friends" to save...Well...All except for Martha. She's saved for last.

Oliver: wait, is it individually, or is it universal?

???: Do you wish to save them or not?

Oliver: fine fine, sheesh, I was only asking.
*Oliver decides to save Victoria and Gamma first. Suddenly a portal opens up in front of Oliver. The dark figure slowly morphs it's face is half of Gamma's and half of Victoria's face.*

???: Good luck maggot...Heh heh heh...
*Oliver huffs and heads inside to face what awaited him. He walks through what seemed like a corridor. Then he can hear some soft voices all around him.*

Female voice: aww... Look at him. Such an angel.

Male voice: what shall we name him?

Female voice: my mother was constantly telling me we must name him Christian.

Male voice: Christian...That's a wonderful name.

*Suddenly a loud explosion was heard and the faint sound of fire and a baby crying was all Oliver heard before it all fades away.*
Oliver: aww crap...
*Oliver starts running toward an ominous glow in the distance. the darkness vanishes and the area changes and shifts to the fire that would have engulfed Chris' parents. But then, The area flashes white and soon he arrives in a quiet library.*

Oliver: h-huh...? W-What's going on...?

???: just ignore that. It's just some old remnants of Christian's life. Now, in order to "save" your friends. You must think like them. And when they are in range...Strike them down to dust. Their own soul crystal will float out.

Oliver: right. And is this legit, or you trying to mess with my head to make me f**k this up faster?
*Oliver thinks, and starts to search the library.*

???: If I was, you'd be dead already.
*Oliver soon finds a mindless, grey Victoria at a table, reading a huge book. She seems silent and more docile than normal.*

Victoria: ...There isn't anything to read here...Such a bore...

Oliver: ...okay...now what..?

???: Kill her... She will drop her soul and you'll be able to collect it.

Oliver: ...*phew...* Okay...I've played Dark Souls and Bloodborne enough times to do this...
*Soon, a fading sound fills the room, and Oliver then picks up a small purple ember.*

Victoria: hmm...? Oh... Another one that wishes to read with me? Come little boy, grab a book and read with me...

Oliver: ?!! *w-what the heck?!*
*Oliver backs up quickly.*

???: Well... Kill her. They will not fight.
*Oliver presses the ember onto Victoria. She crumbles and a violet ember emerges, resonating her soul. her soul was a floating purple heart, her faint voice was heard.*

Victoria's Soul: ...I-I just wanted someone to read to...
*Oliver holds the soul close. Suddenly, He finds himself in an abandoned garage, the faint sound of hammering and car engines fill the room.*

???: Good. Very good. Chris would have done the same thing.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver heads inside to find Gamma in her grease monkey uniform working on a car. He sees a pink ember in the back of the room.*

Gamma: *Huff* man. This beauty sure is needy. Can't get the fan-belt out of it's socket.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver finds the ember and presses it on Gamma's back. it burns her away before she can do anything, and Oliver collects her soul. Like Victoria, Gamma' soul floats down and whispers to Oliver.*

Gamma's Soul: ...sorry for bugging you too much kid...

Oliver: okay...who next...?
*Oliver suddenly hears the screeching of a car. He exits to find Thomas' gang coming to attack.*

Thomas: alright Gamma. I'm waiting for my car for long enough. Is she fixed? ...hey...You're not Gamma.

Oliver: No. She's not here...not anymore...
*Due to Hell itself, hearing this corrupts Thomas and his gang and they begin to attack Oliver.*

Thomas: well then I gotta put the blame on someone...So your gonna get a real beatdown...
*Suddenly Thomas's car comes to life and revs it's engine. Starting to chase Oliver.*

Oliver: well that's all my nope.
*Oliver vaults over the hood of the car and picks up a wrench. As the brutes attack, Oliver smacks them away with the wrench, hard enough to knock them out. The car starts giving chase and Oliver runs back over to the portal.*

Oliver: this is YOUR stop pal!
*Oliver flips over the car and lets it crash in the empty dimension, leaving Oliver and Thomas to fight.*

Thomas: do you know how much that car was kid?!

Oliver: As much as Gamma was to you before you screwed up her life?!

Thomas: w-what? Bah, nevermind.

Oliver: not nevermind! You USED her! And now, I’m gonna make you pay for it!

???: May I suggest leaving. You are not here for him.

Oliver: grr...
*Oliver clutches the soul and warps to a gun range with Ashley using her revolver.*

???: Not so fast Oliver. You must bring back the souls. The more you collect, the more corrupted the world will be. Just take a break every so often.

Oliver: wait, the base with the baddies was destroyed right? Where exactly to I take them?

???: Just come to me.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver focuses and soon finds himself in a dark void with the figure.*

???: There we go. Now, place the soul crystals on the ground...They will stay there until you have collected all of them.
*Oliver does so before leaving.*

???: Tell me...Has Chris ever been...Aggressive? Or violent towards you or your friends?

Oliver: once, but that was him on his little syringe things.

???: Ah yes, the drug he calls "Psycho". I've always knew he needed to be tough, but I never thought he'd resort to that...How much pain has he inflicted? Hmm?

Oliver: from what I’ve seen, he only inflicts major damage in life or death situations.

???: Hmm...Strange. He still shows weakness. Now, on with your next target. Ashley, was it?

Oliver: yeah.
*Oliver warps back to Ashley. He warps to the gun range. The sounds of gunshots were heard from one of the booths. Ashley was seen adding more rounds to her trusty revolver.*

Ashley: huh? Hey, who let a kid in here?
*Oliver finds an ammo box containing an emerald ember. He walks up and used it on Ashley, causing her to burn away. Moments later, Ashley's soul floats down.*

Ashley's Soul: ...I guess I've been an *sshole for far too long...Right?

Oliver: tch...
*Oliver clutches the soul and works on searching for Jacob. He warps to a nice looking bar, Jacob was seen playing pool with some other guys.*

Jacob: aaaaaannnd... Yeah! Got it! You guys owe me a beer.

Goodra 1: heh heh, alright.

Goodra 2: next one won't be so lucky.

Oliver: ...?
*Oliver searches around for an ember.*

Jacob: hmm? Ay kiddo, you uhh...You looking for your dad or something?
*Oliver spots the ember, at the end of the pool cue he was using.*

Jacob: uhh... Kid? Ya deaf or something?
*Oliver just picks up the ember and fizzles out Jacob. Like the others, Jacob's soul floats into Oliver's hands.*

Jacob's Soul: ...I guess I could have been better.

???: You do know that you can talk to them, right?

Oliver: I know. I just don’t want to as it’s making it worse than it already is.
Goodra 1: d-did you just kill our friend?

Goodra 2: the hell is wrong with you?!

Oliver: ...
*Oliver warps away back to the figure to deposit the second set of souls.*

???: Excellent. 4 souls down. Many... Many more to go...

Oliver: wait, do I know you?

???: I don't know. Do you know me?

Oliver: ...I don’t know. I feel like I do, but at the same time I don’t know...

???: Now here's a better question...Do you know Chris?

Oliver: yes?

???: Do you REALLY know him?

Oliver: I know he had a rough past, would have no parents if not for me, he builds weapons on the daily, and is Pamela’s boyfriend. Yeah, mostly.

???: HA! you know nothing about him. He is so much more that what you think he is.

Oliver: what do YOU see him as then?

???: He is an assassin in a pathetic boy's body. He is a literal demon hiding among you. But there are more to be told in the future.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver heads into another portal. He finds himself in an abandoned gym. Finding Galy and Marco inside. Before Oliver can get a move on, the room flashes white again. Oliver then hears more voices.*
Female kid voice: heh heh. Here comes the little squirt.

Male kid voice 1: can he not take a hint? He doesn't belong here.

Male voice 2: shush. Here he comes.

* Some footsteps were heard as someone approached the bullies. Suddenly some worried screams and shreaks. Soon it was silent... Then the sound of chewing was all Oliver heard*

Chris' Voice: I don't know... But I don't like this...

???'s voice: they were bullies. All you needed to do... WAS BULLY THEM BACK HARDER WITH THEIR SINS AND FEARS LOOKING BACK AT THEM.

Chris' voice: but I don't want to do that to everyone.

???'s voice: just wear something to cover your...No eyes. Like a pair of glasses.

*Soon the soft sound of Chris's sobs fade away. Soon Oliver fades back into the gymnasium.*
Oliver: ...?! What the...

???: Just another memory from Chris. The boy is learning, isn't he?

Oliver: looks that way...

???: Yes...The little devil is growing to be a swell demon...Unleashing fear into others that deserves it.

Oliver: ...

???: Now, go collect those souls. Unless you no longer care about your friends.

Oliver: OhMyGod. Enough of this, I’m going.
*Oliver finds the embers and fizzles out both Galy and Marco. The Process repeats, Oliver collecting his friends souls as he walks away with them.*

Marco's Soul: ...was I... too tough?

Galy's soul: ...w-what did we do...To deserve death?

Oliver: ...nothing. I’ll be with you guys soon.
*Oliver drops off the souls before getting warped to a lab.*

???: Okay, as of now, your friends will start to fight you if they know what you are up to. So be careful and don't get killed.

Oliver: hey, whatever it takes.
*Oliver creeps around the lab. He finds Pamela staring at a static screen in the dark.*

Pamela: i-it just doesn't make sense... How and why would Chris act like this... T-this... Negative energy... It's so powerful... He is no normal goodra... But what is he...Really?

*Pamela goes through some notes and observations about Chris. Oliver creeps around and finds the ember. He creeps up behind Pamela and fizzles her out, using the ember. Pamela's soul floats to the ground...But it starts to shake wildly. Suddenly she reforms and comes back.*

Pamela: w-what just...You were trying to kill me...Weren't you...? Well you're gonna have to try harder then that.

*Pamela makes a run for the next room, the metal door locks behind her.*
Oliver: sigh...

*Oliver takes a running start at the door before barging it down.Pamela was then seen in some battle mech ready to fight Oliver.*

Pamela: *huff* good luck...I can hold out on my own.

Oliver: this is just great...

???: Prepare yourself boy. She is dangerous.
*Pamela starts up the mech and begins the fight. Swinging her large mechanical fists at Oliver.*

Oliver: A huge hunk of metal this big has a weak spot. Just gotta find em.
*Oliver breaks the glass pod that acts as a shield for Pamela before tearing out a panel that had wires for the Robot’s interface.Pamela struggles to repair the control panel, leaving the power source exposed oh the mech's back. Oliver tears out the interface in the robot’s back. It jutters and shakes before exploding. Pamela’s soul floats over to him.*

Pamela's Soul: ... I've done nothing but hurt people...Haven't I...?

Oliver: Not at all Pam...
*Soon, Oliver finds himself in an abandoned boutique.*

???: Pitiful. All of your friends show weakness. They must be more like Chris. Emotionless, strong, powerful...

Oliver: tsk. If you were a physical person, I'd beat the living crap outta you for saying that.
*Suddenly, Oliver rolls out of the way of sewing needles. Soon Oliver's friends start act more aggressive. Gloria, dressed up In her Smash tournament outfit, glares at Oliver.*

Gloria: so I have received word that you are slaying those that are truly dear to you...Why?

Oliver: It's something much bigger than us Gloria. This is the only way I can save everyone.

Gloria: Nonsense! You're a cold blooded murderer. And your spree ends here...Christopher...

Oliver: C-Chris...?

???: They cannot tell if it's really you...So I hidden you in someone more fitting for the job.

Gloria: it pains me to do this...But you leave me no choice.
*Gloria rushes in and goes to attack Oliver. As Oliver blocks and defends, he talks to the voice in his head.*

Oliver: So...even though I'm in my body, they'll see me as Chris..?

???: Indeed...Still, they'd all perish by that little boy anyway.

Oliver: *hmm...okay...*
*Suddenly, Oliver knocks Gloria away, and comes across the ember. before planting it in Gloria's body. She starts to fizzle away.*

Gloria's Soul: ...oh bother...Just be wary. The others are a lot more skilled than me...

Oliver: ...only Galore, Chris...and...GG.
*Oliver is suddenly warped into an abandoned video game store.*

???: You also have to think about your dragon friends. Unless you want me to take them.

Oliver: If I save this universe, how do I get to the other ones? Calamarthia's universe is in the ocean, but I don't know if I can get to the Dragon Valley...is there a way for me to?

???: That's why you have me idiot. How else can Christian know about the multiple universes you and him roam through.

Oliver: well SORRY. I'm not used to having nightmares where all my friends die.
*Oliver hides behind a counter and watches as Galore plays Smash on the Nintendo switch. Once again, the room flashes white. More voices were heard in the background.*
*Dog barking with joy*

Chris' Voice: wow...I love him! He's so big.

Male Voice: his name is Cooper. He's a Labrador retriever.

Female voice: he's here to keep you comfortable...Maybe as a good friend.
*Soon the two adult voices walks away*

???: Kill the dog.

Chris' voice: w-what? Why?

???: He will bring you weakness...You know what, I'll do it for you.
*Suddenly the loud sound of a dog yelps and collapsing onto the floor, some ripping of flesh and bones were heard.*

Chris' voice: ...*sigh* at least I wasn't too attached.

???: Good. Very good. But next time, kill if I say so...
*Oliver then warps back to the same video game store.*

Oliver: ...?!

???: I had to show him, how do you say, tough love.

Oliver: tsk.

???: To be honest, I'm glad he was a troubled child. The perfect apprentice.

Oliver: ...
*Oliver finds the ember and stares at Galore before slowly approaching. Suddenly, Galore leaps from her chair and punches Oliver in the face, sending him back.*

Galore: sorry pal, but you're not gonna lay a finger on me.

Oliver: Ghk! Ugh...

Galore: what's wrong? You give up already?

Oliver: no...just outplayed you.
*Galore looks down, gasping at the ember that was planted under her foot.*

Galore: ...ah cra-
*Galore then starts to turn to dust, her soul floats down.*

Galore's Soul: ...well played kid...

Oliver: two to go...in this universe anyway...
*Oliver then gets warped to an abandoned school playground. There he finds Chris sat alone. Once again, another one of Chris' memories shows up. More voices are heard.*

Ashley's voice: heh heh, something bothering ya 4 eyes? Oh, that's right, you don't have anyone to comfort the weak baby you are.

Chris' voice: ...just... Just stop.

Ashley's voice: in your dreams. Well, I gotta go. See ya later you friggin' mistake.
*Soon Ashley's footsteps fade off.*

Chris' voice: I'd like to see her head mounted on my wall.

???: Ah, perfect. You're ready...But don't kill her just yet. There's something I need you to do. Remember that Dark Deception game?

Chris' voice: ...yeah?
*Oliver then sees flashbacks to all of his and everyone's adventures...Only with a different bloody twist.*

Oliver: !! grrr....!!
*Oliver clutches his head as the grey, faded Chris turns around.*

Chris: listen Oliver. I've done some horrible, unspeakable things. Just do what I did and accept what's given to you...Before you screw things up even more.

Oliver: you want me to leave you all to die? No way. Not a chance.

Chris: You should be like me and made no bond with...Them. Even Martha. But you've forced my hand...
*Chris then grows in size, he has a large grin of sharp teeth...And a second inner mouth. He draws out large claws and rushes at Oliver. He then uppercuts Chris with his power from the smash universe.*

Oliver: Chris! You're not listening! I'm not going to throw away everything just because a version of you said so. I LOVE EVERY LAST ONE of our friends! And I'm NOT going to stand by and let ANYONE screw that up! YOU HEAR ME?!
*Oliver barrels through the enlarged Chris before throwing him over his shoulder, causing a giant explosion. Chris only twitches and shrieks at Oliver. He then shape shifts into his older, full metal jacketed self. He starts shooting at Oliver with everything he's got.Oliver dodges before using a "Smash flick" sending Chris crashing backwards.*

Oliver: I'm not giving up Chris. No matter who stands in my way.
*Chris manged to stun Oliver with some pulse grenades. He rushes over and points his shotgun at his chest. He fires 4 round into his body, dazing Oliver heavily.*

Oliver: grrr...!!
*Suddenly Oliver teleports above Chris and finishes him with another smash move.*

Chris: *grunt* You'll fail like the rest of them...
*Chris shape shifts again, he transforms into his sea goodra form, he goes to crush Oliver with his tail as he stares him down.*

Oliver: No...I WON'T!
*Oliver leaps up at Chris, and puts a stop to him by throwing a blitzing blaze at him, burning him. Chris may be burning, but it only makes him angry, he throws down his fists and attempts to grind Oliver to dust. Oliver runs up Chris' arms. only to get caught and thrown into the school building. Suddenly, an insane power comes from Oliver as he flies through the air before lunging into Chris' face with a 100% Smash punch. Chris' body glows in light as he yells in pain. His soul floats away from him. He tries desperately to catch it, only for Oliver to clutch it in his hand before he has the chance. Finally, Oliver arrives outside him and GG's apartment room.*

Chris' soul: You're only digging your own grave... Just accept the fact that you are alone. You always make sure EVERYONE has a so called "happy ending". Setting a barrier to protect all sea goodras, making everyone immortal so that you don't lose them, making their past better from any and all issues...Just take what's given to you...Become like me, you'll hurt less people then...

*Oliver deposits the souls he retrieved as he makes his way into their room. Inside was GG sleeping in bed, the sound of Oliver entering the room makes her wake up.*

GG: huh? Oh, hee hee, Morning Oliver. When did you wake up so early?

Oliver: ...I went and got you a surprise.
*Something's not right. She's not hostile, and I'm still in my subconscious mind...what's going on...?*

???: Go on...Kill her boy...Or I have to do it myself.

GG: oh, hee hee. Alright, I won't peek.
*GG covers her eyes with her hands. Oliver stands there. He suddenly collapses with a shocking pain in his chest. He finds himself awake in a hospital bed with all the Goo Gang around him.*

Gamma: hey...He's waking up.

Victoria: oh, thank heavens.

Pamela: Oliver...Are you okay?

Oliver: ...G-Guys...?

Marco: don't worry Oliver. We're here for ya.

Ashley: you took a nasty hit to the head. Fortunately Chris found you and brought us here.

Oliver: W-Where's GG...?

Gloria: she's not here...For Some reason, she wasn't at home.
*Suddenly, reality shifts around Oliver ad he returns to the dream where he froze.*

GG: well...I'm waiting...Give it to me!

*...Oliver clutches GG's soul. He deposits it before kneeling over at her body.*
Oliver: ...I screwed up...

GG's Soul: ...I... I don't understand. I let you in my home, I take care of you, I shared my feelings for you... And this is how you treat me...?
*Oliver just collapses on the ground. The voice in his head takes a physical form and brings the souls to Oliver.*

???: Now...It is done. The first of your friends are saved. And now for the rest...
*the souls all chant the same thing at Oliver.*

Souls: traitor... Traitor... TRAITOR...

Oliver: Just show me the universes I need to save...

???: Just that dragon one. And you'll be free to go.

Oliver: ...No. I'll save them all. Every. Last. One.
*Oliver gets to work. The entity watches him as he "Saves" everyone's souls. Hours pass and he brings every last soul to the entity. Enduring overwhelming guilt with each strike, Oliver doesn't allow himself to heal, as a reminder of every innocent life he had to take to save them. Dragon Valley, the underwater Glade, Goowell Isle, Goo City, everywhere was free of the hell's curse.*

???: Perfect...Absolutely perfect. You've brought them all here...In one place...*Chuckle* you make a fine apprentice Oliver...

Oliver: thanks...now PLEASE Can I have my life back. Like, my not subconscious one?

Havoc: not after I finally introduce myself. I am Havoc boy. The universe's new leader...All thanks...

*Havoc brings up it's hand with the ring, it glows red along with his eyes*

Havoc: to you...

*Havoc cluches his hand, all of the souls shatter and turn to dust. The screams of pain and suffering were echoing around the void... Except for Chris' soul...*

Oliver: !!! NO!

*Havoc cackles as he gains more power in the ring.*
Havoc: now...I'd kill you...But I want to see your ex-friend do it.

*Havoc then grabs Chris' soul and fuses it with the ring, it pulses in a white glow*
Havoc: now my apprentice. I want you to wipe this boy out of existence across the whole multiverse. Erase him, the MISTAKE he is...

Chris' soul: ...
*Oliver waits for the end...But nothing happened...*

Oliver: ...?

Havoc: ...? Hey, apprentice. Do as I tell you and destroy him. Eliminate, slaughter, kill him...

Chris' soul: ...

Havoc: KILL. HIM. HE IS YOUR ONLY THREAT!!! NO ONE OTHER THAN HIM IS A FOE!!!.

Chris' soul: ...yes master...
*Suddenly a blue blast fills the void...Except it was towards Havoc, Oliver is left uninjured and with all his full powers.*

Oliver: ...?! M-my powers...! They’re back...Good.
*Oliver uses a spell to return Chris to his physical form with all his artillery and weaponry.*

Chris: *huff* thanks...But this is not a two man job...

*Chris glows bright blue and chants something in spanish...Soon the dust of what used to be dead souls rise back up and reform into all of Oliver's friends. GG, Shodan, Gamma, Traxton, Pamela, David, Baytax, the residents of Goowell isle, Nathan, his Symbiote, Harold, Angelica, everyone.*

Chris: I've messed up. Big time. I've hurt thousands of innocent people...It's time I fix that.

Oliver: ...?!
*Oliver powers up, not even being able to face them all in the eye.*

Galore: looks like a boss battle coming up.

Draxi: don't worry Oliver...

Sally: ...we're behind ya all the way!

Phoebe: show that beast how powerful of a warrior you are.

Angelica: we may be the bad guys, but let's bring down this creep.

Ashley: buck up kid, we'll always get up.

Calamarthia: let's make him sleep with the dishes!

Pamela: according to my calculations...

Rylar: ...a 100% chance of victory!

Oliver: ...y-you’re right. All of you...
*Suddenly, the void around everyone cracks. The area becomes the wasteland the goo gang fought Necrozma. Havoc rises from the land, his eyes fuming with flames.*

Havoc: you have betrayed me Christian. I give you power, gifts, everything a demon wants and you squandered them all away for some idiotic mortals!!

Chris: I've already got what I want. A great batch of people who ACTUALLY take care of me...Now it's time I return the favour. After all, YOU gave me infinite power for the rest of my life.
*Chris' heart glows blue as he pounds his chest.*

Oliver: these “mortals” are the ones who are gonna send you straight back to hell!

Havoc: I'd like to see you all try...
*Havoc then summons up an entire shadow army of evil copies of Oliver's friends.*

GG: it's alright Oliver...We got this...
*Oliver raises an arm before slamming it down. It creates a huge earthquake that eradicated the clones.*

Havoc: grrrr...FINE!!! I can destroy all of you myself anyway.
*Chris pulls out his Gatiling Laser, Calamarthia goes in her Medusa form, everyone begins to prepare for battle. This song starts to play as Chris leads the charge. m.youtube.com/watch?v=O5NRHnG4…. *

Chris: CHARGE!!!
Oliver: LET'S GO!!!
*Everyone charges throwing everything they had at Havoc. Blow after blow he takes as he tries to tap into more powers of the ring to no avail.*

David: heh, you don't put up much of a fight!

Vix: all flash...

Nix: ...and no bang!

Victoria: it's people like you that deserve the most cruel of punishments.

Oliver: HAVOC!!!
*Oliver tears into havoc with all his moves, barraging him with lethal attacks...

Oliver: GO TO HELL!!! SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!
...before sending him plummeting back to the ground. Suddenly, a fiery vortex opened below Havoc. It was the gateway to hell.*

Havoc: *grunt* I... Refuse... To be defeated by a mortal...!
*Havoc grabs onto the ledge before falling into the pits of hell. Chris walks up to him and stares him down.*

Havoc: Christian...You are forever cursed until you aid me right now.

Chris: heh...You can't curse a god...

Havoc: I AM A GOD!!!

Chris: ...not anymore...
*Chris ends it off with a charges swing from his super-sledge and cracks it on Havoc's head, it shatters into nothing as he plummets into the depths.*

Oliver: good riddance...

Chris: ...*sigh* there...It is done...
*GG comes running in and gives Oliver a big hug, soon the rest of the good gang follow. Chris just stands out from the group, looking over to them. Oliver backs off hastily and looks at GG and the others.*

Oliver: W-Why are you all so trusting...? I..I killed all of you because of that thing...

GG: we all know you never meant to hurt us. That thing was pure evil and mislead you.

Victoria: much like it mislead our shy friend over there.

Oliver: I-I...
*Oliver hugs GG and he starts to cry.*

Pamela: do not cry Oliver. It's all over now.

GG: shh shh...Everyone here is okay thanks to you.

Marco: well...We also gotta give credit to Chris too.

Chris: w-what? Me? Why...?

Oliver: If you and your soul didn't...*sniff* fight back against that guy, everything would have been gone for sure...

Galy: yeah. You're no demon person. You have a caring heart for your peers.

Ashley: yeah...And now that I've seen about everything you can do...I'm so sorry about all the things I've done to you.

David: c'mon kiddo! We don't bite.
*David stretches his arm and bring Chris in with the rest of the group.*

Gamma: forget about screwing things up...You are an amazing friend.

Pamela: and above and beyond love interest. Now let's see those optical sensors.

Chris: u-uhh...
*Pamela removes Chris' glasses he covers his face... But this time, he has a normal looking face. Two purple eyes and a normal looking mouth. No teeth, no demon powers, completely free.*

Oliver: See? Heh, you're okay. No demon powers, no corrupted ideals. Normal, just like all of us.

Pamela: *blushes* wow...You love e-even more attractive...

Gloria: hee hee, easy tiger. He's been through a lot.

GG: and Chris. Every-time someone says that your weak or a mistake, they don't Know how strong you are.

Jacob: yeah. You've had a pretty crappy life as a kid...But you're still here.

Sally: you've survived a fire, a stabbing, two abusive parents, bullies, baddies, and everything in-between.

Pamela: and now... We got two handsome males protecting us.

Chris: *blushes* heh...Heh heh. Thanks guys...Really.
*Chris gives a big smile as he hugs everyone.*

Oliver: heh. Thanks Chris. Now umm...how exactly do we get all these guys back to their homes..?

Chris: leave that to me. Good morning Oliver...
*Soon Oliver starts to wake up, as if it was all an entire dream. GG was sleeping right next to them. Roxie and Absolea both curled up and sleeping together. The nightmare was over.*

Oliver: ?!
*Oliver wakes up with a start. He looks next to him to see GG sound asleep. He goes about his day as if it was a normal day. Moments later, GG wakes up.*

GG: *yawn* morning Oliver.

Oliver: m-morning...!
*Oliver trembles for a moment as GG sits up. He quickly hugs her.*

GG: woah, hee hee...What's this about? We're the snuggles at night not enough for you?

Oliver: n-no...it’s not that...I just...had a REALLY bad dream last night...

GG: oh...You wanna talk about it?

Oliver: I-I umm...
*Oliver begins to tremble in GG’s arms.*

GG: O-Oliver? Just tell me.

Oliver: ...I was forced to kill everyone by a demon from hell...

GG: oh...Oliver...It's okay.
*GG comes closer and comforts Oliver by hugging him tightly.*

GG: it was all just a bad dream.

Oliver: ...

GG: nothing like that is ever gonna happen to you, me, or anyone else here. Not sure what made you think that, but maybe you should stay away from it.

Oliver: that nightmare's over...I can talk about it now...

GG: well...Don't leave me in suspense. What happened in that head of yours?
*Oliver takes a minute to compose himself before telling GG the WHOLE ordeal with the nightmares, the villain encounters, and the...massacre. and the battle that led to his waking.*

GG: oh God...t-that must've been horrible to experience.

Oliver: it was...I-I'm sorry...

GG: what? What are you sorry for?

Oliver: Just...*sigh*...n-nothing...it's fine...

GG: no. Tell me. Maybe I can help.

Oliver: C-Could we invite everyone over later...? Y'know, for like a big slumber party or something...?

GG: o-oh...S-sure thing.
*Oliver and GG go about their day. Later, as Oliver dozes off, GG talks to everyone on a voice chat on her computer.*

Ashley: ...and he's been having these nightmares for a while now?

GG: yeah...He's very disturbed about it.

Gloria: poor thing...How is he now?

GG: he said that it was like some final Battle against some mythic evil. And it all tied to Chris somehow.

Gamma: maybe I can give Chris a little chat when we all come over for the slumber party.

Lunala: That would be a good idea Gamma. We too were involved in these nightmares. But, it is a shame that the poor child has to go through something like this...

Ashley: yeah. I'm always a rough and tough kind of gal, but that is just torture.

Gloria: I'll bring some of my greatest selection of herbal teas for Oliver.

Gamma: Lunala, you've seen his nightmare. What has Chris done to him?

Lunala: Not Chris Gamma. But a being called Havoc manipulating him. Oliver was forced to "Save" you all, by killing either docile or malicious versions of you all to extract their souls. Then Havoc extinguished the souls in front of him, effectively killing you all. But then Chris refused to die brought everyone back to life and all of us banded together to kill Havoc.

Ashley: oh. For a second there, I thought Chris enjoyed killing us all...Although I have bugged him a whole bunch when he was younger.

Lunala: Havoc masked Oliver in an Illusion so the versions of you killed in the dream recognised Oliver's presence as Chris and not his own.

GG: my point is that both Oliver and possibly Chris are hurting after this terrible ordeal.

Gamma: alright...we'll talk more when we come over.

Ashley: see ya later GG.

Gloria: toodles.

Gamma: bye!
*Everyone ends their video chat, GG powers off her computer and closes it. Looking over to Oliver in worry.*

GG: what did he see in there...?
*Oliver joins GG in the kitchen after his nap.*

GG: oh, hey Oliver. Did you finally get some sleep?

Oliver: uh-huh. Yeah. I’m still a little off, but I’ll work it outta my system.

GG: good. Because soon our friends are coming over for the slumber party. I'm gonna go run to the supermarket and get some snacks. You fine being here all alone, or do you want to come with me?

Oliver: I’ll come with. ^^

GG: alright. Well let's go!
*GG and Oliver both make their way to the supermarket. Hours go by and soon people start to arrive.*

David: hello?

Ashley: anybody home?

GG: in the kitchen!

Oliver: umm...h-hey guys. Y’all doing okay?

Ashley: yeah.

David: never better Oliver!

GG: just make yourselves comfortable, I'm working on food here.
*An hour later everyone shows up and the party can begin.*

Galy: heh heh, leave it to GG to host another great party.

Victoria: so, is everyone here?

Gamma: almost...
*Soon Chris arrives...looking a little different. His blue hoodie now looks to be brand new, you can see now he has purple eyes, and he's got a big smile on his face.*

Chris: heh heh, hey guys.

Pamela: oh wow...Chris...you uhh...

Victoria: you look different.

Gloria: my my, such a beautifully sewn hoodie. It's an improvement from that old, grungy one.

Oliver: yeah. You look great!

Sally: finally, ya cleaned those glasses. Now we can see your peepers for once.

Oliver: yeah...whoa.

Chris: yeah...uhh...about that...

Jacob: are you a witch or something?

Pamela: well I think he looks absolutely attractive with those beautifully clear eyes.

Chris: *blushes* eheh heh... thanks...

Oliver: heh, now you gotta watch out for Pam getting lost in your eyes.

Gamma: Who knows, maybe you can tease Pam like how Martha teases Oliver with her body. Heh heh heh.

Gloria: he does show immense appreciation for Martha and how she dances. It'n that right darling?

Oliver: !!
*Oliver stiffens up as his face goes red.*

GG: *giggle* Now look what you guys did.

Jacob: don't worry Oliver. It's nothing serious.

Oliver: I-I know...
*Soon, the party gets underway and everyone goes about their business. Chris and Oliver set up a gaming station, GG set up a food spread for everyone, Gamma and Galore set up the music. The party was going swimmingly.*

Chris: so...You doin' alright. After...Y-you know...

Oliver: I-I guess...I’m just trying not to think about it. But..speaking of, are the other universes okay...?

Chris: yeah, they're fine. As if nothing has touched them...*sigh* listen Oliver, it's pretty clear that none of them know what just happened. And I don't wanna freak everyone out buy saying that I once was a demon...

*Chris plugs in his Switch system as Mario Kart boots up*
Chris: ...so let's just kick back, relax, and dominate Galore and Gamma in Mario Kart. Hmm?

Oliver: sure. S-sure. Heh.
*Oliver and Chris invite GG Gamma and Galore over for a few rounds in Mario Kart. They begin a few races on 200CC. They were rough, but they were fun.*

Gamma: oh god da-

Gloria: ahem!

Gamma: uhh...g-good game you guys.

Chris: thanks Gamma.

Galore: is it me, or are you more competitive than last time?

Chris: eh, maybe.

Oliver: to be honest, I haven’t played this in a while.

Gamma: I figured.

Galore: I expected Chris to stay quiet and destroy us...okay, he still destroyed us, but you were a bit chatty today.

Gamma: yeah...who are you and what have you done to the Chris we all love?

Oliver: heh, this is the same Chris.

Chris: yup. The one and only...*whispers to Oliver* in this universe there is...

Oliver: *heh* yup.
*Soon, the games become more intense. And finally, the last race. The map was...modern rainbow road.*

Galore: heh heh, good luck you guys.

Chris: ...yeah, you're gonna need it.

Oliver: tell me about it...
*the race begins as it’s an absolute mess from start to finish.*

Gamma: frickin' hell man! That's the third time I've fallen of the darn map!

Galore: and Chris is just handling it oh so calmly.

Chris: why fuss at something you know is hard?

Oliver: Yeah, I agree. ...to a point.

Galore: grrr... I want to strangle something...GOD....FRICKIN' LUIGI!!

Chris: someone sounds ticked off...

Gamma: how are you taking this so well? Your in 8th.

Chris: I'm just taking my time...

Oliver: phew...this is a kids game too. I can kinda see how these bring out the worst in people...

Gamma: heh heh, Oliver...look behind-
*Oliver gets knocked off the track by a green shell thrown by Gamma. She gets cocky and screws up her turn and she too falls off.*

Gamma: ...my dumb kart doesn't corner well.

Oliver: hehe. Karma's not doing so good for you, huh?
*Oliver soon finds himself in 3rd.*

Galore: heh heh, I got you this time Oliver...

*Galore throws a couple of red shells at Oliver. Suddenly Chris heroically swerves in and takes the hit for Oliver.*
Chris: I saved you.

Gamma: what an evil thing to do.

Galore: FFFFFFFUUUUUU!! YOU KNEW I WAS SAVING THOSE Y-YOU!! YOU!!
*Before any of the racers knew it, the race ended. Oliver in 2nd, Galore and Gamma joint in 8th, and the winner being...Chris.*

Gamma: Once again, owned by Chris and his mad gaming skills.

Ashley: heh heh, someone's losing her touch.

Galore: *grumble* whatever. Oliver also lost.

Oliver: Eh, top three counts as a win in my book.

Chris: maybe take your time and keep calm next time.

Oliver: hehe. Take note Gamma.

Gamma: w-well...I uhh...

Chris: yeah, chill out. It's not like it's to the death or anything.

Oliver: yeah.
*Soon, Oliver goes for a wander. He finds Vic looking up at the stars.*

Victoria: wow...Such a beautiful night tonight...

Oliver: V-Vic? w-what are you doing out here..? the party too much for you...?

Victoria: no...Well, yes. I'm gonna have to wash Gamma's mouth with ten bars of soap tonight. But I'm just enjoying the view.

Oliver: Okay...hey listen umm...I was wondering if you'd like to go to the library sometime?

Victoria: oh...Really? What for?

Oliver: to hang out.

Victoria: really? Well then. Hope you got a good book to read.

Oliver: actually...I don’t. Maybe I could pick one up!

Victoria: not sure what interests you. Are you in to for reading, science fiction? Mystery? History?

Oliver: I like the adventurer genre! Like beast quest or goosebumps!

Victoria: hmm...I think I can recommend you some good books.

Oliver: yes please!

Victoria: anything for you Oliver.
*Suddenly Chris walks out with Solgaleo and Lunala.*

Chris: oh...Hey Vic. Uhh...Can I talk to Oliver here...Alone?

Victoria: oh, yeah. Sure.
*Victoria walks back inside. Chris walks over with a Stern look on his face.*

Chris: Lunala just told me what happened...

Oliver: ...yeah?

Chris: I uhh...I'm sorry that you had to go through that...Before, I was taught to hurt people...I used my rough past as...Like a bridge for evil...

Oliver: oh...

Chris: ...I brought this all on you and everyone else...I shouldn't have.

Oliver: it’s okay Chris. It’s over now.

Chris: ...I don't know...Solgaleo told me what you were forced to do...

Oliver: Chris, blame the dark thoughts you had in the back of your mind. It’s fine to feel that way but wrong to act on it.

Chris: you don't understand. I've hurt thousands of other people...

Oliver: I do. I was literally there hours ago. You’ve atoned. We won.

Chris: not just here. The dragon valley, the coral kingdom, everywhere where you and I have been to.

Oliver: I know...I know bud.
*Oliver hugs Chris.*

Oliver: With a mind like yours and emotions to back it, it can either be a blessing or a curse. And I guess we've seen what the curse is, so lets keep it a blessing, yeah?

Chris: yeah...I just...Never had anyone as nice and caring as you. Or Martha, or Victoria l, or anyone...Well, maybe not Ashley...

Oliver: Ash has her moments.

Chris: sometimes...But my point is that before you guys came into my life, before you brought my parents back, my life was well down to a shi- I-I mean, dark place. Bullies, bad foster parents, bystanders that just hated me. It felt so nice that someone was looking out for me.

Oliver: ...

Chris: so, yeah...I really appreciate all the help you and everyone has done for me. Even though sometimes I can be a real pain.

Oliver: C'mon. you're not a pain. the only person who thinks your a pain are Gamma and Galore when you clean house in Mario Kart or Smash.

Chris: really? Not even when I uhh...Umm, had like zero trust for you guys. I mean, I've been crafting some gadgets and weapons...J-just in case one of you found out about my secret...And wanted to end me...

Oliver: Not even then.

Chris: ...heh. now I feel pretty silly.
*Chris smiles for a bit as he Strokes Solgaleo's mane. Lunala Comforts him by hugging him.*

Lunala: It's alright dear. This is your future. Where all your friends are thriving, and no threats will come our way.

Chris: heh...Yeah, you're right. Well, in this universe anyway. The many other ones it's probably gonna be my old self. But I want to relish this one.

Lunala: well said dear.
Oliver: alright, c'mon. We got a party to enjoy!

Chris: Sure...After all, I know there's someone in there wants me to be by her side.

Oliver: That's right. C'mon. Let's go inside.
*Oliver, Chris, Solgaleo, and Lunala all head back inside. Everyone was dancing to music on a stereo blasting out loud music.*

Oliver: hehe. guess we got some catching up to do.

Chris: yup...
*Chris walks proudly over to Pamela and takes her by the hand, dancing the salsa with her. Oliver chuckles as he watches, unaware that GG was dancing right next to him and hip checks him by mistake.*

GG: whoa! Uhh... heh heh, my bad.

Oliver: heh, it's fine. Nice moves.

Gloria: *chuckle* got lost in the rhythm again Martha dear?

GG: yeah...I guess.

Oliver: heh, maybe I can help.
*Oliver takes GG's hand and starts dancing with her.*

GG: hee hee, what's got you in a dancin' groove lately?

Oliver: Well, it's a party! Might as well enjoy myself right?
*Everybody dances the night away. The two inkys and their cartoon swing, Ashley and Jacob with some Semi-aggressive moves, even Solgaleo and Lunala with some slow dancing. Soon it draws to a close and the food starts to come out.*

Galore: oh boy! Pizza!

GG: thanks. Made them myself. Dig in everyone. I've got a dozen for you.

Oliver: whoa...

Galy: no thanks. I'm on my diet.

GG: so... you won't take these veggie pizzas?

Galy: uhh... well I guess so.

GG: hee hee, alright. And as for my two wonderful pets, a dog friendly pizza just for the two of you.
*GG hands Absolea and Roxie a small pizza on a paper plate, the two bounce with joy.*

David: quite the bounty of pies here Martha.

Ashley: *nom* yeah. And that they're made by you...*nom* oooh...sooo goood.

Oliver: heh, Couldn't agree more.
*Oliver starts eating his pizza. His eyes twinkle with every bite.*

GG: well I'm glad everyone loves them. Especially Oliver and Lunala here.

Victoria: *nom, gulp* you should open like a restaurant.

Gamma: yeah, you'd make millions!

GG: I don't care about money. All I care about is that someone enjoys my cooking.
*Oliver and Lunala chuckle as they eat GG's pizza.*

Pamela: indeed. With such a favourable pallet of delicacies, you'd make an above optimal income.

Chris: *nom* yeah. I've had lots of pizza over the...many years. But none are this good.

Jacob: yeah. Look at the big lion. He's goin' crazy over it.

Ashley: not as crazy as he's head over paws for Lunala.

Solgaleo: ! H-Hey!
*Solgaleo blushes and his fur turns red.*

Galore: aww, it the big, mean cat gone soft over his lover?

Gamma: *chuckle* yeah. I thought you were fierce.

*Lunala floats behind Gamma and Galore, sending chills down their spines.*
Lunala: I wonder if Martha and Oliver would like two servants living with her?

Gamma: u-uhh...

Galore: ...g-great pizza Martha...heh heh...

Lunala: *giggle* Glad you two like it.

Victoria: hee hee, thanks for keteping them in check Lunala.

Pamela: indeed. They keep pestering me and Chris that we've never kissed before.

Chris: then let's end that...
*Chris then leans over and gives Pamela a big, long kiss on the lips. Her whole face glows bright red. Everyone wide eyed at Chris.*

Ashley: ...damm.

Gamma: holy...who knew you had the pair to actually do that in front of us.

Pamela: *blushes bright red*...just give me a minute...

Oliver: whoa...

Chris: *chuckle* you alright Pam?

Pamela: y-yes...I'm j-j-just...surprised...

Oliver: heh. Looks like it.

GG: heh, glad that you both are happy with each other. Just like a certain someone here.

Oliver: !! hehe...yeah.

Ashley: heh, you lost your macho Oliver? Was it when GG used her *ss to knock ya down on the dance floor?

Oliver: no! course not!

Ashley: heh heh, then why are you all nervous? Can't get that outta your head?

Oliver: !! *huff*
*Oliver blushes as he eats his pizza quietly.*

GG: well it is something "big" to be on his mind. Hee hee.

Ashley: "big"? You mean huge! *chuckle*
*Oliver grumbles as he eats.*

Victoria: well I don't suppose that Lunala can straighten Ashley out.

Ashley: pff, as if being a servant is all that bad. She doesn't scare me.

Lunala: hmm. I'll remember that Ashley.

Chris: knowing Lunala as a Moon Goddess, you have about...361 reasons why you should be afraid of her Ashley.

Ashley: ha! Good luck with that.

Lunala: *chuckle.*
*Later, the party comes to a close, and everyone settles down for the night.*

GG: alright. Everyone's gotta full belly and ready for sleep.

Sally: yup. *yawn* a star of the stage must get her beauty sleep.

Gloria: agreed.

Oliver: yaaaawn...I'm ready for sleep...

Gamma: yeah, you gonna sleep on top of her belly tonight Oliver?

GG: hee hee hee, he might.

Oliver: ...and what if I do?

Ashley: oh nothing, it's just so cute how you sleep.

Gloria: indeed. he has done the same to me once.

Oliver: !!!
*Oliver blushes bright red.*

Jacob: heh heh, that is cute.

Gamma: are you gonna snuggle it and mumble in your sleep?

Oliver: ?! grr...
*Oliver teleports away.*

GG: *giggle* guess he's sleeping somewhere else tonight.

Victoria: you know Gamma, you and the rest of you that keep teasing him are gonna get in deep trouble soon.

Ashley: eh, it's fine. it's not like we're bulling him.

Gamma: plus, maybe being a servant isn't all that bad.
*Soon, GG finds Oliver in their room. curled in a ball, still blushing.*

GG: hey Oliver. don't worry about them. I'm sure they'll get what's coming to them.

Oliver: I *yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn...* hope so.

GG: don't you worry...I think more than Lunala has got your back.

Oliver: Yeah...I do too. but...for now, how about we get some rest?

GG: yeah. and don't worry, I locked the door so that no one can enter our room and sneak some pictures.

Oliver: O-Okay.

GG: heh heh. now...
*GG climbs in bed with Oliver, getting under the covers.*

GG: does someone want to sleep on someone much more comfortable?

Oliver: Y-Yes please..!
*Oliver cuddles with GG. His warmth heats GG up as he is still blushing.*

GG: *giggle* good, because I don't think either one of us can sleep a wink tonight without... *yawn* each other.

Oliver: Y-Yeah...hehe.

GG: ...g-goodnight Oliver...

Oliver: Goodnight GG.
*Oliver gives GG a kiss on the cheek before settling down to sleep. Chris too, can now rest easy, knowing his curse has subverted into the blessing it once was, and can now truly be at peace with who he was...and who he had to protect.*
