Alan Nomaly's Guide to the Multiverse

Alan Nomaly's Guide to the Multiverse is a tie-in episode of Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure, acting as a precursor to the Time War arc.
==Plot==
Earth-1799.A
The twisted and corrupted pocket dimension between realms flashed with lights as rifts to alternate timelines. At the epicenter: Albedo as Ultimate Decayed. A flash of red and blue appeared behind him, and he turned to see Alien X and Omnitricks rushing at him. The clash caused a flash of bright white light…
A cybernetically augmented Vilgax was seen slaughtering members of his own species.
The Highbreed Failsafe was seen destroying Anur Khufos.
An Incursean in knight armor slashed a sword at the ground, causing a planet-wide explosion.
An Ekoplektoid in golden and grey armor thrashed themselves at a wall, trying to escape their armor.
Death machines with whisks and plungers fired lasers while shouting "EXTERMINATE!", their attacks insta-killing their targets.
Fugetors and Racomitrium Servums clashed with one another on their homeworld of Lepidopterra.
A group of Samswordone pointed their swords out, and the white energy that came out of them seemed to disintegrate a mass of Gourmands.
Agorm Hitmas' army began a trek to the Regiis-Reptilium system.
An army of metal men stormed through the streets, killing basically everyone that wasn't also a metal person. Most of them were silver, aside from one red and black one.
All of the aforementioned individuals and events, despite happening across different planets, eras, and timelines, suddenly converged, existing all on the same barren battlefield. And at the center of this world…
Alan woke up in a cold sweat, sharply gasping before catching his breath. He glanced at the clock, 1:35 AM. He looked to his side, seeing Chloe still asleep. Sighing, Alan carefully got up and left the room.
Downstairs, Alan got a bottle of water and drank it to try to calm his nerves, though the shakiness of the bottle in his hand gave away how ineffective it was. 
"...You're awfully quiet. I know you saw that, too."
"That I did" Pride's voice spoke in Alan's head "It's… unnerving. But I know what you're thinking. You want to play hero and try to save them. It's not our problem. You can't save every timeline."
"So we shouldn't try to save any?" Alan rolled his eyes
"We should try to save this one" Pride explained "We have enough problems as it is"
The front door opened. Alan turned and saw Alexis walking in. "...Hey"
"Hey" Alexis locked the door before walking over "You alright?"
"You're out late" Alan deflected
"I do have a life outside of Alan Nomaly" She playfully answered "Now answer. You alright?"
"...Just… some trouble sleeping" He shrugged
Alexis' eyes travelled over Alan before looking back up at his eyes "...So you got fully dressed to come down for one bottle of water?"
"We aren't exactly drawn with a variety of outfit designs" Alan paused but sighed "...I dunno. Figured I'd go for a walk, maybe?"
Alexis studied Alan's face for a moment "Come here" She pulled him in for a hug, which he reluctantly accepted. "I know we're not… exactly positively receptive of some of the choices you've been making recently. And it is fair enough, they're not your best work, but it doesn't mean we've stopped caring about you…" She pulled from the hug and looked up at him "You don't have to go it alone, whatever it is that's got you all frazzled"
Alan pulled away from the hug without a word, taking a sip from his bottle again
"...Try to get some sleep" Alexis tried one final time before walking off to her room, the sound of the latch in the distance a moment later
"Why am I not getting a 'I'm going to listen to her' thought popping up in here?" Pride inquired.
Alan glanced up, noticing the "Earth-1799.A" still in the air from earlier.
"...Don't" Pride warned
"You can take care of things here" Alan responded calmly
"Alan. Please do not…" Pride begged
Alan clenched his right fist, and the Simplicitrix's hourglass glowed; Alan activated Helheim's powers, and Pride was expunged from his body, the Ectonurite just barely steadying himself in the air and only just missing flying into the ceiling. Alan's eyes turned, and saw "Earth-1799.A" change to "Earth-1799.CF'"
"...I have to try" Alan gave Pride one last acknowledging glance, before activating the powers of the Simplicitrix again and falling through a portal beneath his feet. Pride rushed over to try to grab at him, but was too late
"...Alan…? ALAN!" Pride called out in vain
----
A black void. Alan floated through it, scuttling across the emptiness in the form of Alanomalocaris. His eyes flashed red and it consumed the nothingness…
And it was replaced by… something.
Circular structures layered atop one another like floors to a building, with various arching pathways branching off to reach other structures, and solid walls acted as substantially better falling-off-the-edge defenses than a railing one could see through would. It was all colored a sleek white, with various accent colors denoting different departments and areas. At the top center was a spherical structure, from which Alan looked out a window of to the area below.
"Alright…" Alan cracked his neck, and looked to the audience "...Time to get some employees."

Earth-97
Inside a large tower, the Riddler stood just above Batman, looming with a cocky smirk. He was just about to activate his antenna, when Batman held a hand out
"Wait." His voice echoed "I have a riddle for you"
The Riddler paused "...For me? Really? Tell me"
"I see without seeing. To me, darkness is as clear as daylight. What am I?" Batman calmly answered.
"Oh please." the Riddler scoffed "You're as blind as a bat"
"Exactly!" Batman readied his Batarang.
"I GOT IT!"
Bruce and Edward were cut off as a voice came from above. Alan waved before transforming into Snare-Oh; his bandages shot up and yanked down on the base of the antenna, causing it to come crashing down. He jumped off his ledge and swung both Bruce and Edward out of the way, binding up Edward in the process.
Catching his breath, Bruce turned and looked at Snare-Oh who turned back into himself. "...Who are you?"
"Alan Nomaly. We know each other. Well, not these versions of us, but other versions of us have met."
"And why are you here?"
Alan shrugged "Looking for people to join my multiversal motley crew, you were highly recommended."
"No" He simply responded "I have my duty to Gotham."
"...And to another movie in two years that'll ruin your public image until 2005" Alan snarked "It's not like Gotham can't handle people like Eddie or… Wait, where's the other- Oh." Alan stopped talking as he glanced down and saw Two-Face's corpse at the bottom of the tower, a few rocks from the antenna crash falling onto him "Well. I've seen this one, he was dead before that happened, but still… Eh, that's what he gets for whitewashing"
"Are we done here?" Bruce asked, his patience beginning to wane.
"Fine, fine, I'll get out of your cowl" He clenched his fist and walked through a portal…
…Only for the portal to open back and Alan to enter again.
"Just one more thing…"
Alan made his way over to Riddler and began punching him "BATS. ARE NOT. BLIND!" He huffed "You wanna be the smartest in the room but couldn't point that one out? Jesus. I can NOT…. sanction your buffoonery."
Alan shook his head and portaled away again.

Earth-199999
"Why don't we just go back to when Thanos was a baby, and…" Rhodey made a motion with his hands to look like someone tying and tightening a knot.
"Okay, first off, that's disgusting." The Hulk spoke back with a grimace.
"It's Thanos!" Rhodey countered.
"Secondly, that's not how time travel works! Changing the past doesn't change the future" The Hulk argued.
"Who in the goddamn fuck wrote that line?" Alan interrupted "1 + 1 = 2, your logic tells me that if one of those 1's changes to a 3, the answer does not change to 4."
Hulk and Rhodey, along with the also present Clint, Nebula, and Scott stared blankly at Alan.
"...Wh- Who are you?" Rhodey asked "How did you get in here?"
"Don't worry about it, Rhodysseus" Alan waved him away "You're gonna try to tell him Bill & Ted is a reason he's wrong, and that's a movie that does make the past not change the future, only because the time travel was already accounted for, not because this moron is letting Hulk's mind dampen his common fucking sense!" He pointed at Hulk.
"Look, buddy" Hulk approached "The math just says otherwise-"
"I literally gave you math that DOESN'T say otherwise!" Alan snapped "Why the fuck- Y'know, what? No. Fuck you. Just for that, no Marvel representation. You guys can't even get your multiverse shit figured out anyway."
Alan portaled away in frustration.

Earth-12599
Alan stepped onto the streets of New York City, looking around for any signs of anything unique, when a small house nestled between two larger ones caught his eye "Oh. Hello… Interesting…"
As Alan approached, he heard a crunching sound. He looked around a bit before looking down, seeing a mess of a broken plastic car beneath his feet… and blood.
"Stuart?" A voice from within the small house called, causing Alan to look up in horror. He began to panic, then quickly changed into Goop to slip away into the sewers, where a red flash denoted him universe hopping before the door started to open.
----
Earth-91914
A dark chamber glistened with the reflection of water dancing across the walls. Alan walked through, following the sound of pained cries coming from deeper in. 
"What in the hell is making that fucking- OH MY…. FUCK-KNUCKLES! WHAT THE SIGMA?!" Alan jumped back as he saw the origin of the sound: a man trapped inside a suit of flesh fashioned to look like a walrus. His eyes looked up to meet Alan's and he cried out in agony even more "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
The walrus man's cries became louder and more desperate.
"...Right, right… There's… only one humane way to handle this…" Alan sighed and transformed into the cowboy plague doctor alien Chemarro. He carefully pulled out his gun and cocked it, aiming it at Mr. Tusk "Say goodnight, Gracie."
----
Earth-122193
Clattering was heard in a dark room.
"Where's the fucking light switch?" Alan grumbled as he fumbled around "Oh, here we go"
Click
A whirring noise sounded… accompanied by a scream.
Click
"...Hello?" Alan asked cautiously, his hand moving to the next switch.
Click
The lights came on.
"Oh, it's a kitchen!" Alan said with realization "So that first switch was the garbage disposal…" He glanced down, noticing a tomato with a face looking back at him "...What the fuck are you looking at?"
The tomato blinked, and turned, only for his eyes to go wide as he stared into the sink "JESUS CHRIST! LARRY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Alan leaned over the counter and looked into the sink, wincing "Oh. Oof. Woah. Uh. Um. Hrm. That's… That's not great… No, no… Well. At least you can teach kids how to cope with death, now… Or… How to dispose of their food, I guess… I'm… I'm just gonna… I'm just gonna go…" He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly before leaving.

Earth-1246
"It should be just up ahead" Alan remarked while leaning out the window of a speeding train.
"It better be!" The… train itself answered, the claw above its face clanging in response. Alan was riding inside of Diesel 10.
The evil diesel continued his route, noticing buffers up ahead. But instead of doing the sensible thing of slowing down… 
"...You're speeding up" Alan said with concern.
"Yep! I'm gonna find that lost steam engine if it's the least thing I do!" Diesel 10 shouted.
Alan's face frowned, and he quickly clenched his fist, covering himself in Diamondhead armor before jumping out of the train, tumbling across the ground, and hearing a crashing sound soon after. His armor disappeared as he turned and saw Diesel 10 having bashed into the buffers and off the track.
"Oh no. No no that's no good, oof." He sighed but then shrugged "Well, Sodor never really uses you anyway outside of two mid movies and one cameo, so… Won't be any confusion and delay, I guess… Eesh."
----
Earth-9405
Alan walked into an unassuming backyard, with a shed and doghouse and all. Suddenly, loud noises caught his attention; he turned to the shed, seeing sparks flying and hearing the sound of various tools. 
"Ooh, a backyard inventor" Alan approached "The unsung hero, the mechanical messiah, the- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
Alan stared in horror at a CGI monstrosity of a dog, the patterns on its face green, as it turned to him and cackled.
"EUGH! KILL IT!" He clenched the Simplicitrix fist and Swampfire flames shot out of his other hand.
----
Earth-5599
A mass of people and Muppets danced about to Celebration by Eumir Deodato and Kool & The Gan, including Alan… in the transformation of a member of Gonzo's species.

Earth-80412
"Patient has sustained several bullet wounds and is suffering internal bleeding!" Dr. Cameron shouted.
An older doctor with a cane, Dr. House, scoffed "It's just bullets, put him on-"
"The bullet wounds have ice formed around them" Cameron interrupted.
The older doctor cocked an eyebrow and removed the blanket from the patient, who was revealed to be Alan, who did indeed have icy bullet wounds on his chest. He reached out and grabbed House by the collar, pulling him close "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!", prompting House to smirk.
----
Earth-2202
A lanky vampire, Count Orlok, was looming over Alan, his claws out as he lowered. Slowly. …Slowly… So slowly that anyone with sense, or anyone who isn't the main character of a horror movie, would've just fucking moved by now. The vampire bared his fangs as he approached Alan's neck.
"Look, if you're gonna be this slow and sensual, at least turn off the lights." Alan rolled his eyes "SpongeBob told me you're good at flickering lights."
----
Earth-7011
"Hey there!" Alan waved while walking into a futuristic facility with white panel walls, approaching a robotic fixture hanging down from the top, with "GlaDOS" written on the side. "You've got a mobile body, right?"
GLaDOS didn't respond verbally, and instead remotely activated a portal beneath Alan's feet.
"OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-" Alan's voice echoed as he fell through.
----
Earth-7164051723
"Hershey? Hershey?" Alan called out while walking through a clearly artificial garden "Is there a Hershey anywhere? Hershey, Milton? Milton Hershey?"
He turned and saw a group of people staring up at a pipe of liquid chocolate, which had a child stuck inside it, unable to continue moving through the pipe.
"Oh, that's… That's fatphobia in my Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure, oh no."
----
Earth-1420
"Let's find out who the real culprit is!" Fred said triumphantly as he pulled off the mask of the tar monster to reveal…
"Alan Nomaly?!" The group all said collectively. How they knew who Alan was, is anyone's guess.
"And I would've recruited the real Tar Monster to my council, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
----
The montage then sped up, depicting the following:
*Alan, as Lemyrrh, danced alongside a bunch of lemurs (Earth-5812)
*Alan jumped through a TV to reach the 'real world' (Earth-7204)
*Alan swung on a vine before bashing into a tree (Earth-6797)
*A green phallic shaped creature exploding and throwing Alan down a blocky cliff (Earth-921)
*Alan in the midst of a rap battle (Earth-8313)
----
Alan began rapid fire hand shaking the people who would become his main council.
Each of them then sat down at the main table: The Sixth Doctor (Earth-8486). Professor Ozpin (Earth-6369). Aquaman (Earth-1). Nemona (Earth-223). Dr. Jumba Jookiba (Earth-626). WordGirl (Earth-8130). Wilford Warfstache.
Alan sat down at the head of the table with a sigh "Alright. Let's get down to business.".
----
Roughly one year later.
Earth–710010. Central City.
Alan sat on a bench scribbling on a piece of paper. He finished it up and pinned it to a dummy to one side of him; it was a crude drawing of Mig Rivers using orange crayon. To the other side of him was a similar drawing of Sif Hunderson, done in purple. He leaned back and put his arms around the two caricatures
"Shame we never got around to doing this properly" Alan sighed "We were supposed to. Season 3 would've had a Rebootedverse chapter, we would've used our Japanese aliens. Ninjace, Blamurai, Lavalamp… Probably not anymore"
The Sif dummy fell to one side, slumping over the armrest of the bench
"Don't make me have to whip you into shape" Alan said in a mock stern tone
He then got up, and put in his place a third dummy that had his own face sketched onto it, done in red.
"...Guess this is as good as it's gonna get…"
Alan clenched his fist and went to portal away, but after the portal moved over him… he was still in the same place. He looked around confused before trying again, the same thing repeating: portal appearing to take him away, but he remained. As he pondered this, crackling whooshes sounded from behind. Turning about, he smirked and crossed his arms, coming face to face with a group of individuals in black and green armor, their helmets decorated with lime green faceplates.
"Can't he ever just come fight me himself? No, no, that'd be too much work. Instead, I'm left with his disposable MinEons. Disappointing"
The MinEons generated their time energy blades, and Alan smirked. He clenched the Simplicitrix and grabbed the Mig dummy, causing it to become coated in lava as he flung it at a few of them, melting their armor and flesh. Whipping around, he grabbed the Sif dummy, projecting Diamondhead spikes from it, and then spun around, spiking several MinEons that had rushed closer to him. Finally, he grabbed the Alan dummy, and generated Blamurai's sword in its hand before lobbing it at a few other MinEons, impaling them like a kebab.
"Eh. Close enough" Alan shrugged before seeing a bunch more MinEons materialize in and run towards him. He glanced to the audience again "The future is bulletproof, but these guys aren't." He activated the Simplicitrix, causing Killjoy's hologram to appear "Make some noise"
Insert song, motherfuckers
Alan generated Chemarro's gun and began rapid firing through the MinEons. The gun went away as Alan punched his hands into the ground, and yanking out a boulder through Gravattack's powers that he let roll down the hill to crush several of the aggressors. Turning, Alan engaged a MinEon in a game of Rock Paper Scissors, landing on Scissors to beat the MinEon's Paper, then generated hard-light scissors which sliced off the MinEon's arm before a boot crushed them.
Alan's fingers shifted into Ripjaws' claws as he plunged his hand through the helmet of a MinEon "Got your nose!" He then yanked back and pulled the nose off… along with somehow yanking the person's respiratory system out along with it, dropping it to the ground with a squeal as the MinEon fell backwards dead "Gross!"
Turning about Alan did an equally gross move and shifted his arm into that of Bow-n-Marrow before plunging it through the chest of another MinEon, grabbing their heart in the process. Yanking it back out and allowing the body to topple, Alan turned and volatized the heart, turning it into a grenade upon throwing it at another group of MinEon's, exploding into a horrendous mess of blood and gore.
Alan pulled Raijin from his back and held onto the end where the prongs were, using the actual handle end as a blunt force weapon to bash through several other MinEons, before thrusting it backwards to hit a MinEon behind him; activating the head's spinning mechanic, Alan not only blended the entrails of the MinEon he impaled, but also began firing off its electrified bullets at additional MinEons behind him. He then jumped up and threw his trident down, using Screw Zeus' powers to channel powerful godly lightning through it and then into the surrounding MinEons.
Alan grabbed onto one of the bench's arm rests and flipped his legs up to dodge an attack by a MinEon, only for his legs to come down and bash into the MinEon's face, causing the MinEon to cry out in pain, Alan's cowboy spurs going into their eye sockets. "FUCK! I'M STUCK!" Alan groaned as he tried to free himself, initially unable to, but then… an idea…
"I call this move… Breaking Benchamin!" Alan used the armrest as a leverage point to flip himself up and back, slamming the MinEon's body down onto the bench and burst through it, enough force to dislodge Alan's spurs, though with one eyeball still stuck on "Or maybe I call it the Nobody…" Alan briefly removed his glasses to use NRG's radiation beams from his eyes to melt the gouged eye off.
Alan quickly gathered up pieces of the bench and began throwing them at the MinEon's, imbuing them with various powers. A few of the pieces froze the MinEons upon impact, while others lit on fire. One piece thrown into a MinEon exploded them from the inside with sound, while another injected into a MinEon's abdomen, leading to their back bursting open and releasing baby Hatchback's.
Doubling back, Alan grabbed the armrests, and began using them as weapons, alternating depending on how he held them: using the straight ends as swords but using the curved ends as blunt force weapons. Slashing and bashing through various MinEon's, Alan then threw one of his armrests into the ground, causing it to stick upwards. He then took the other and bashed the knee of a MinEon, causing them to double over and fall onto the armrest, making it shoot through their head from their jaw. Hearing more MinEons approaching from behind, Alan threw the armrest like a boomerang, taking all of them out before coming back, allowing Alan to catch it with his other hand.
Activating Brainstorm's powers, Alan glanced around, taking note of a mailbox, pidgeon, oncoming vehicle, fire hydrant, and pumpkin stand. Alan quickly threw the remaining arm rest at the mailbox, causing the mail inside to cartoonishly shoot out and distract the MinEons, causing one to bump against the lamppost the pidgeon was calling home. The bird took off and, in the process of flying, defecated, its waste hitting the vehicle's windshield and causing them to swerve and hit the fire hydrant. Shifting to Overflow's powers, Alan redirected the water to blast the MinEon's into the pumpkin stand, each of them now wearing a different jack-o-lantern face on their heads.
Alan lifted up the diamond-spiked head of the Sif dummy and the scorched beyond recognition head of the Mig dummy. "We did it guys!" He spun around in the midst of the bloodshed. "We saved the city!"
----
Alan sighed as he stepped through the halls of his newly made pocket dimension facility, his hair still wet from showering after his… deeds. "Earth-710010 cleared of its temporal anomalies, you're welcome."
WordGirl turned back to him with a rather frustrated expression painting her face. "Have you ever considered not killing your enemies as a method of doing things?"
"Considered? Yes." Alan nodded, walking into an elevator as WordGirl followed "Doesn't mean I go through with it." The elevator closed and began taking them up.
"It just doesn't feel right…" WordGirl lamented. "We should find a way to save them."
"We can't." Alan answered, turning to her. "Becky, you already know the same thing the rest of us do. Eon traps people in a state between life and death that prevents them from decaying but also prevents them from surviving without him, and they don't have any of their own thoughts. It's-"
"Humane? Mercy killing?" WordGirl gave him a skeptical gaze. "...Yeah. I know the definitions."
The elevator door opened and WordGirl floated out, Alan following on foot, walking past various people from various timelines and franchises that had been recruited since the initial team was made. Dib Membrane, Rex Salazar, Vanessa Afton, Flash Man, Percy Jackson.
A roar caught Alan's attention, and he turned to see Zilla staring back at him from the other side of a balcony. "You what?"
Zilla roared again in response.
"I can't deal with it right now." Alan shook his head.
A disgruntled growl sounded from the beast.
"Look, I put you in charge of the animal division for a reason. Get Manny and Aladar working on logistics, and if you need to, call up Mike and Marty." Alan ordered, then paused. "...Don't take Floyd."
Zilla huffed before stomping away. Alan then continued following WordGirl, passing by Vito Corleone, Mary Poppins, Simba, Mysterion, Jack Frost, and several others. The two were soon approached by a woman wearing a labcoat overtop an orange outfit that was caveman-inspired.
"AI Sada." Alan acknowledged.
"Alan Nomaly. WordGirl." AI Sada nodded. "My department has made some headway regarding Eon's origins."
"What are you talking about?" Alan gave her a confused look. "He's a Ben Tennyson variant."
"And his timeline is corrupted." WordGirl added "Both forwards and backwards, it's impossible for us to access it, even with everyone we have working here."
"It's a bit more-" AI Sada was cut off as her body glitched, flashing scarlet and violet as she was replaced by a man in an identical lab coat, but with a purple, high-tech suit underneath it. AI Turo. "-complicated than that."
Alan rolled his eyes. "You need to get your timeline shifting under control.
"What do you mean, more complicated?" WordGirl asked.
"Complicated, to be difficult or confusing." Alan answered mockingly, prompting a look of annoyance from WordGirl.
"We have managed to sample Eon's DNA." AI Turo said, glitching back to AI Sada. "It is not just Ben Tennyson's DNA, it is an amalgamation."
"...I'm sorry, what?" Alan asked.
"Amalgamation, a combination of multiple parts." WordGirl snarked before becoming serious again. "An amalgamation of what?"
AI Sada, glitching back to AI Turo, held up a device that projected a holographic screen. "Various Omnitrix users." The screen flashed up images of variants of Ben Tennyson, along with numerous other easter egg Omnitrix users that will be left unnamed so as to not step on anyone else's fanfiction, and then… an image of an Alan Nomaly variant.
Seeing a reflection of himself, a variant but still, gave Alan paused. His breathing intensified, and he took off down the hallway.
"Where are you going?!" WordGirl called out
"To re-research Earth-10!" He called back.
----
Alan isolated himself in his office. He scrolled through the screen depicting Earth-10, the timeline of Ben Tennyson prime, and stopped on the first installment: And Then There Were 10.
"Alright…" Alan sighed. "Research time…"
----
The council's command center was quiet. Almost. The sound of Warfstache's chair spinning broke the silence, before he stopped. "Are we gonna get on with this? I'm getting bored."
"Shut. Up." Alan's seriousness only increased the tension.
Warfstache huffed. "Well, that's a downer mood! Does somebody need help making a smile?" He pulled out a knife.
"Wilf, I will shove your fucking knife and your gun down your throat, I do not care that you are too metaphysical for it to hurt. Just. Be. Quiet."
Wilford dropped his knife and pouted. The rest kept their gaze on Alan, who rested his forehead in his hands.
"I scoured… every recorded second of Earth-10. I even went through all 79 episodes of Omniverse and that was a pain at times, let me tell you… Odd they chose 79 to end on, you'd think they'd want a complete 80."
"Mister Nomaly." Ozpin interjected, pushing up his glasses. "Please. Something is obviously troubling you deeply, it would behoove not just you, but the entirety of our group, our organization, to know what exactly it is."
"The young lad saw his face as a member of Eon's victims." The Doctor responded. "It would give any of us pause, possibly even existential crisis."
"It's not just that I saw my face…" Alan huffed. "I… I was always curious why the MinEons were seemingly random. But now I get it… They aren't random. They're the failures. The ones Eon couldn't completely merge with. Because of that, he trapped them in that undead state to serve him as underlings instead of serving him as his host…"
"Are you feeling remorseful about killing them now?" WordGirl inquired.
Alan glared at her. "I still say we're doing them a favor. But it does recontextualize it…"
"I am not seeing problem." Jumba shrugged "Whether Eon is being singular Ben Tennyson or amalgamation of multiple people, I see as making no difference in goals of defeating him."
"That's because you're not him." Aquaman countered. "Alan's got a target on his back not just for this organization that actively fights Eon, but because of the Simplicitrix. Eon could go after him as a potential host."
Alan put a hand up to pause the conversation. "Eon… isn't our only concern anymore. He's still involved and we still need to be concerned… but there's somebody else too. Someone above him."
Nemona's eyes widened "There's somebody more dangerous than Eon involved?"
Alan turned and projected an image on a screen: a black and grey Chronosapien with red eyes and gears.
"Maltruant. A rogue Chronosapien. After studying Ben Prime's timeline, I've realized that in most universes, Maltruant ends up repeating a time loop from a previous universe, attempting to start up his own branch of the multiversal Time War we've all been a part of. And it seems like every Omnitrix user of the respective timelines has been able to successfully prevent that thus far, at least from the ones I looked into." He turned to the others. "And Eon is a part of it every time, learning from the experience and not repeating the same mistakes. He does similar things, but he treads carefully."
"All of this exposition nonsense, it's dreadfully boring." Warfstache grumbled. "Can we get onto the good stuff?"
Alan blinked and sighed before answering. "Fine. Put the recon teams on every timeline we've confirmed Maltruant to be a part of. Trust the overlap in events and keep tabs on any alterations. I'm going to be a bit more direct."
"How so?" Aquaman asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"I want to continue being out there doing the fighting myself." Alan explained. "But now that I know I'm vulnerable, I'm gonna need to have another Omnitrix user at my side to help with that."
WordGirl stared blankly before standing up to face Alan. "You're going to use someone as bait?!"
"I think I know the guy who can handle it." Alan tried to reassure her. "He helped in the situation that started all this."
Turning, Alan projected the multiverse onto the screen, which then zoomed in to focus on a specific timeline: Earth-7102.
"I'm going to recruit Clockwork Firefly."

==Allusions==
*The episode's title is an allusion to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
*Earth-1799.CF's name acts as a nod to Clockwork Firefly.
*Alan's comment about Batman's next film ruining his public image refers to the poor reception of Batman & Robin, two years after Batman Forever, which would hurt the public view of the character of Batman (and to an extent, comic book movies in general) until 2005's Batman Begins.
*Alan calls Rhodey "Rhodysseus" as a nod to Odysseus; Rhodey had suggested killing Thanos as a baby, and Odysseus killed Astyanax as a baby.
*Alan saying "I cannot sanction your buffoonery" to the Riddler is a nod to something Two-Face actor Tommy Lee Jones said to Riddler actor Jim Carrey after having experienced acting alongside him in Batman Forever.
*This episode obviously takes heavy inspiration from Deadpool & Wolverine. More specifically, it takes inspiration from the beginning of the movie, in way of Deadpool searching the multiverse for another Wolverine (Alan searching the multiverse for members of his team), Deadpool conversing with the corpse of Logan (Alan conversing with the dummies meant to represent Mig and Sif), and Deadpool slaughtering the TVA agents (Alan slaughtering the MinEons).
*Alan's name for his move upon destroying the bench is a nod to the band Breaking Benjamin. In the context of the scene, it seems odd, as the fight scene has Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na) by My Chemical Romance as the insert song, not a Breaking Benjamin song, but it is actually a nod to Mig being a Breaking Benjamin fan. His alternate name, Nobody, refers to The Odyssey, in which Odysseus, going by the name Nobody, stabbed out Polyphemus' eye.
*Alan makes two SpongeBob SquarePants references:
**Alan asks Count Orlok to turn out the lights, saying that he knows he's good at flickering the lights, as per the iconic "Nosferatu!" meme from SpongeBob.
**Alan references the "We did it, Patrick! We saved the city!" meme after finishing off the MinEon's.
*Alan's use of Screw Zeus' lightning was inspired by Thunder Bringer and God Games from EPIC: The Musical.
*Alan's hard-light scissors and boots combo attack is a nod to Ben 10 vs Green Lantern, while the rock paper scissors set up is a nod to Barbie.
==Fourth Wall Breaks==
*Alan is able to read the text denoting his timeline, and the switch from Earth-1799.A to Earth-1799.CF.
*Alan talks to the audience about getting some employees.
*Alan references the title of Clock's series when noticing Augustus Gloop in the pipe. This moment also acts as a nod to the "Oh, that's gore of my comfort character" meme.
*Alan explains the plans for where he, Sif, and Mig would've teamed up in The Alan 10 Adventures Season 3.
**He makes a second reference to it when weaponizing the dummies, by using Lavalamp's powers with the Mig dummy, Diamondhead's crystals to mimic Ninjace's spikes with the Sif dummy (as Alan does not have Ninjace and Diamondhead is Sif's favorite alien), and Alan giving his own dummy Blamurai's sword.
*Alan speaks to the audience to initiate the Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na) insert song. In doing so, he refers to the MinEons as not being bulletproof, and saying "make some noise" upon showing Killjoy's hologram. This references the opening dialogue to the song: "The future is bulletproof, the aftermath is secondary. It's time to do it loud, and do it proud. Killjoys, make some noise!"
==Trivia==
*This episode was meant to be one of the more traditional Clock 10 chapters that gets played out on the Discord server, but as more and more stuff got added for Alan's perspective, it became its own separate tie-in episode.
*The scene in which Alan breaks the bench in Central City was originally going to happen in RWBYA, with the plan being that the Agent's TARDIS would have unintentionally burst through it while trying to get to Remnant. The scene did not go through by request of Mig, who considered the bench to be too symbolic. However, as the idea of Alan destroying something so important and symbolic ended up basically being what Deadpool would go on to do to Wolverine's skeleton in Deadpool & Wolverine, because I'm a fucking prophet, it was approved for this.
*The fight against the MinEons was originally going to have Shape of You by Ed Sheeran be the insert song, including a bit where Alan would've played some of their bones like a xylophone (xylobone?) to the tune of the song.
*The ice bullets shot into Alan's body to get him to see House came from Chemarro, but it is unclear if Alan shot himself while transformed fully or while only using the gun on its own, and no, I will not confirm one way or the other. Not until BTP fixes their "did Ultimate Ben use Big Chill or Arctiguana when using the power that Big Chill has but not Arctiguana?" bullshit, anyway.
*The full list of universes Alan is known to have visited is as follows:
**DC (Batman Forever, DCEU); Earth-97 is the semi-official Earth number given to Batman Forever and Batman & Robin by comics writer Sam Hamm, who also distinguished the two previous films, Batman and Batman Returns, as Earth-89. The DCEU visit to recruit Aquaman means Earth-1 was visited, the number given to the DCEU in the Arrowverse multiverse.
**Marvel (MCU); Earth-199999 is the actual Earth number for the MCU, not the already taken comics number 616.
**Stuart Little; Earth-12599 was given as it was the release date of the first Stuart Little movie, December 5, 1999.
**Tusk; Earth-91914 was given as it was the release date of Tusk, September 19, 2014.
**VeggieTales; Earth-122193 was given as it was the release date of the first VeggieTales episode, Where's God When I'm S-Scared?.
**Thomas & Friends; Earth-1246 was given as Thomas is the number 1 engine, his debut was in the 2nd book of The Railway Series, and 1946 is when the series started.
**Son of the Mask; Earth-9405 was given as 1994 was when The Mask released, and 2005 was when Son of the Mask released.

The book in 1964, the Gene Wilder movie in 1971, the Johnny Depp movie in 2005, the Tom & Jerry movie in 2017, and the Timothée Chalamet movie in 2023. The idea is that each version would have their year number be the starting number of their respective timelines while the other numbers continue in order:
***Earth-6471051723 would be the original novel.
***Earth-0564711723 would be the Depp movie.
***Earth-1764710523 would be the Tom & Jerry movie.
***Earth-2364710517 would be the Chalamet movie.
**Scooby-Doo; Earth-1420 comes from the release dates of the two live action movies, June 14, 2002, and March 20, 2004.
**Madagascar; Earth-5812 was chosen as it features the year numbers of each movie's release: 2005, 2008, and 2012.
**Fat Albert; Earth-7204 was chosen as Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids began in 1972, and the live action Fat Albert movie was released in 2004.
**George of the Jungle; Earth-6797 was chosen as the original George of the Jungle cartoon began in 1967, while the Brendan Fraser movie was released in 1997.
**Minecraft; Earth-921 was chosen as Minecraft was released in 2009, and as of this episode, the latest update was the Tricky Trials update, 1.21.
**8 Mile; Earth-8313 was chosen because of the 8 in 8 Mile, and the 313 area code of Detroit, Michigan.
**Doctor Who; Earth-8486 was chosen as this was the Sixth Doctor's tenure, 1984 to 1986.
**RWBY; Earth-6369 was chosen as it denotes The Lost Fable, being Volume 6 Chapter 3, and being the sixty-ninth (nice) chapter of RWBY overall, and is where Ozpin's origins are explained.
**Pokémon; Earth-223 was chosen as Pokémon: Scarlet/Violet was released in 2022, and 3 refers to Nemona's 3-segment Dudunsparce.
**Lilo & Stitch; Earth-626 was chosen as it's Stitch's number
**WordGirl; Earth-8130 was chosen as WordGirl has 8 seasons with 130 episodes.
**Markiplier's series; there was no specified earth that Warfstache comes from as he exists outside of the traditionally accepted parameters existence. While he does have a timeline of origin as depicted in the Who Killed Markiplier? series, wherein the Colonel becomes Warfstache, it was likely not where Alan met him to recruit him, and so his Earth number remains unknown.
*Interesting that Alan says only 79 episodes of Omniverse exist.
