*The reaction hall thrums with displaced energy as bodies from across the fractured multiverse solidify out of the chaos. Cross, Ink, Error, and Nightmare clash in a flash of weapons and confusion before a heavy silence descends. XGaster observes, his presence a cold weight on the air.

Then the giant screen flickers, bathing the assembled multiverse in a pale, waiting light, all holding their breath for what the player will bring to this converged moment.*
