Mars sighs, hugging Diana. “Listen… We’ll be leaving soon…” said Mars.

  “What? Why?“ asked Diana.

  “I just sense something is about to-...”

  Beatle slams Mars’ head into the ground and crushes it.

  Mars slips his head out of Beatle’s palm and moves at great speeds to try and stab him repeatedly but shockingly, the blades just chips each stab.

  Beatle grabs him by the throat and hammers his body over and over.

  “Beatle! NO!!!” boomed the Voice.

  “BEATLE!!!” yelled Death Leopard, as Beatle furiously beats him.

  “DADDY!!!” sobbed Diana, as Beatle’s eyes widen. He drops Mars, who coughs out so much blood.

  Diana runs to Mars. “I couldn’t move… His power was just so-...”

  “It’s okay... I'm okay…” said Mars, regenerating and hugging his daughter. “All I know is you’re safe…”

  Beatle falls to his knees, before letting out a scream.

  Death Leopard grabs his shoulder. “It’s okay…”

  “No, it isn’t… I almost-...” Beatle turned to Mars.

  Mars sighs. “It’s okay… I understand…”

  Beatle’s lips quivered.

  Death Leopard pats his shoulder. “I also do. Of all the people.”

  “Why didn’t you kill me?” asked Mars.

  “She cried your name. I remember… that that wasn’t who I am…” said Beatle, sternly.

  Mars grabs him by the shoulder. “I forgive you…”

  “And I, you…” said Beatle, only for Morningstar to cackle and crash into Beatle’s face.

  “Oh, how ADORABLE!!!” she sneered.

  Mars, Diana, and Death Leopard all try to intervene, only for Morningstar to freeze all three of them.

  Morningstar sneers. “Well, that plan was a bust…” she smiled. “Time for Plan B…” she smiled. Morningstar pointed the entire ship’s rear end to the massive spheres below it: The Multiverse. “Either you kill me along with this ship or I’ll destroy the entire Multiverse.“

  Beatle asks. “Should I?”

  “YES!!! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS!!!” yelled the Voice. “WASTE THIS HAG!!!”

  “But I can’t,” said Beatle. “But I’ll just try to wing this one fight…” Beatle crackles his knuckles.

  Beatle charges at her but she slaps him into another universe.

  Death Leopard growls, deactivating the ship’s systems.

  Morningstar growls and prepares to blast Leopard away, but Mars and Diana tackle and take her down.

  Rasputin and Cheapshot appear from a portal and beat Mars and Diana down. Cheapshot just can’t catch both with his needles, and Rasputin can’t freeze either of them.

  Rasputin grabs him by the throat. “TRAITOR!!! ALL HAIL MORNINGSTAR!!!”

  “Oh, shut up, Raz, you loser!” yelled Morningstar, as she tried blasting Death Leopard from behind, but Beatle shields him with his body.

  “Tangina mo, motherfucker,” said Beatle, swaggering before Morningstar, as he then blasted heat vision and his Cainmarker Beam at Morningstar, who blasted back with her trident.

  Cheapshot sneers and tosses a needle at Beatle, who catches it. Cheapshot kept on tossing and Beatle kept on catching.

  Death Leopard yells. “I NEED MORE TIME!!!”

  Cheapshot tosses another needle that punctures through Death Leopard’s neck. He felt as if a mosquito had bitten him, only for blood to leak out.

  Death Leopard groans. “Oh… Fuck…”

  Death Leopard gasps, realizing his windpipe had been torn up. “Beatle! Heal me out here!”

  “CAN’T REALLY DO THAT AT THE MOMENT!!!” roared Beatle.

  “Hellish blade. Takes slower to heal,” smirked Cheapshot. “Ah, when I first met you, I said you were very logical. In reality, you are quite… highly illogical…” Cheapshot kept on shooting at Death Leopard while Mars and Diana dodged Rasputin’s ice blasts.

  Death Leopard is shot all over, bleeding with blood leaking out from every hole.

  Death Leopard began to shake in pain while typing into the controls. Death Leopard yells. “GOT IT!!!” He power steers and begins pulling the beam away from the Multiverse.

  Meanwhile, Beatle is beaten down by Morningstar, who cackled psychotically, only for…

  The Starcross Crusaders to all, together as one, humorously tackle Morningstar and pile all over her. She breaks free, but they continued beating her to the ground.

  Beatle shakes his head and kicks Morningstar to the ground.

  Morningstar stands up, but Billy shoots her face with her slingshot, taking her helmet off and revealing her face, with the same pentagram brand on it.

  Beatle cringed and flinched, looking away for just a split second.

  Morningstar coughs out blood and prepares to kill Billy with her trident, but Beatle hammers his fist into her face and knocks her down.

  Morningstar roars. “YOU PIECE… OF SHIT… BOYSCOUT!!!”

  “Yeah. I am a boyscout,” said Beatle.

  Her nose twitched. “The worst part about knowing you the most is that I damn well know you are genuine…”

  “I know,” said Beatle.

  Morningstar furiously growled as she tore the ship’s floor out, revealing a core below, before blasting it.

  A massive explosion occurs outside space.

  Death Leopard yells. “NOOOO!!!”

  “Multiversal Ending in T Minus 60 Seconds…”

  Morningstar cackles, teleporting her soldiers away, except for Mars and Diana.

  Morningstar turns to Mars and sneers. “Dead over nothing…”

  She vanishes…

  The team stoof quietly….

  Beatle stood proudly. “Leave me here. I can steer the ship-...”

  Suddenly, a bullet filled with Demon Blood is shot into the back of Beatle’s head.

  He shrank and fell to the ground, unconscious.

  Everyone turns to Death Leopard.

  Death Leopard had fired the shot.

  Inchworm, Ladybug, and Tophbee smiled at Death Leopard. He takes off his cowl, revealing his young handsome face. He smiles, nodding back.

  Black Sabbath sighs, realizing what he’s doing. “I’ll teleport all of us out… How about you?”

  “Paying it forward…” said Death Leopard. “Tell Beatle that I’m sorry. And… that he’s better than me in every way…”

  Mars is left on the ship. “I’ll push this thing off this Multiverse’s periphery.”

  “Why?”

  Mars smiled. “Paying it forward…”

  Sabbath smiles, and teleports away.

  “DAD!!! N-!!!” Diana blips away.

  Death Leopard smiles, opening his livestream to their Earth. “Hey, assholes! It’s me, Tyrone Bernardo, telling you my FINAL LIVESTREAM EVER!!!” he smiled, teary-eyed, typing the code into the ship. “I wanted to say one thing to one person! A livestream to honor one guy! Beatle Saint King…”

  The team watched silently on the billboards above. Diana screams for her father, crying…

  Mars pushes the giant ark away, red aura leaving his body. He smiled, softly, remembering Diana as a baby… her cries, her smiles, her whimpers… He remembers how he changed her diapers and fed her formula… He remembered… Anna, who was stolen from him by Tyrone. He taught Diana how to talk, walk, and smile, and he did it for her, not for his hatred… He smiled, closing his eyes…

  Meanwhile, Leopard livestreamed both he and Mars. “If I can’t be the one who destroys Beatle, then I might as well save him!” he sobbed. “I finally returned… Back then, I told you that you don’t have to keep pretending you’re a good person. You’re a terrible person. Just like the rest of us. But we were on your side.

  That was a lie… I lied… because I was jealous, man. I’m sorry… And for that, I want you to go to that party… With the family you earned. This… THIS IS on me… ALL… on me…”

  The ship began to dissipate and implode within itself.

  “I thought I was Batman… turns out I was Iron Man…” he gave a hearty laugh.

  “No…” said Beatle, watching this.

  “I GUESS THERE’S ONE LAST THING TO SAY!!! This whole thing is sponsored by Pepsi!” He whispered. “BT Dubs, Beatle ain’t a sex predator. Everyone knows… Blud’s a virgin…”

  Mars just smiles at the camera. “I love you, Diana. Guess I really am Saint King material.”

  The ship… explodes…

  And that evening… they smiled… having the party in the woods, blowing appliances up again…
