With the Magician finally vanquished for good, Vincent could finally take a good rest. But, then, the Magician's final words to him "The end of your kind is coming. I may have failed to kill you, but something far more powerful than I will come and finish you, and the rest of you all... Brace yourself for the inevitable, child." has left him with unrest and curiosity.
Meanwhile, Daniel Trikor, Vincent's former friend, now enemy from his past, is on a world known as "The Desolate Soil", where he unearths "The Forgotten", a powerful and beyond legendary being who was known for wiping out Multiple Worlds in other dimensions to try and recreate his own. During this, Daniel reawakens a group of humanoid creatures known as "The Witherers", who's goal is to seek, hunt and 'consume' the "Petals" within the "Rose of the Multiverse", the Petals being the chosen bearers of the Red Rose entity across the Multiverse. Daniel asks the Witherers on how he can revive their former master and they tell him that he needs the power and life force of a hundred bearers of the Red Rose and the Witherers asks if he has any sort of knowledge to who or what kind of being is wielding an all powerful entity, as, whoever the first Red Rose entity chooses in a world, the others will try to find the same host on a different dimension. Daniel answers that he does not know, since he has been stranded within the 'stem' of the Multiverse for 4 years, surviving on his own. The Witherers tell him that they sense that, the first Red Rose entity bonded with a being from Earth-001, the world in which Daniel came from. Daniel quickly asks who it is, but the Witherers could only tell him that the first Red Rose entity bonded with its first host, by acting as a sort of lightning bolt, but not as letal as the ones from Earth-001. Daniel then remembers his former friend Vincent being struck by a glowing lightning bolt once and also remembers their battle from 4 years ago and deduces that his nemesis is the first bearer and informs the Witherers.
The Witherers senses Vincent IS the first bearer and decide to attack him immediately, but Daniel stops them before they act, telling them that Vincent is far too powerful for them to strike at once. Realizing that they are not powerful enough, the Witherers tell Daniel that they too need the power and life force of other bearers of the Red Rose to gain more strength and power themselves. Daniel tells them that they should eliminate the other Petals, revive the Forgotten and take care of the rest, specifically Vincent. The Witherers agree and they all head through different dimensions, hunting down other Petals, one by one, 'consuming' the life force and power of every single Petals across different dimensions.
On Earth-1246, that reality's Vincent senses the deaths of the other Petals and conducts the aid of his world's Dr. Rivera, who builds a working Dimensional Jumper, which will allow him to travel through different dimensions and even time itself. During his travel across the Multiverse, Earth-1246 Vincent find the body's of four different Petals, all to which are dead. He begins to traverse the Multiverse further and plans to gather the rest in the hopes of saving them all. Meanwhile, on Earth-S012, that world's Vincent, who goes by the name Vincetick, senses this as well. He travels to the Appalachian Sacred Temple and asks his mentor, Master Styu about his sudden feeling. His master then tells him that the Petals within the Rose of the Multiverse are dying and that he himself can also sense it happening, even though he is not a bearer himself. Master Styu instructs Vincetick to head over different dimensions to gather the rest of the other Petals who are still alive, and entrusts him with a talisman that will enable him to travel through Space and Time. Vincetick sets off with his own journey.
Back on Earth-001, Vincent has been feeling quite unusual as he has been feeling something strange. Jay suddenly tells him that he needs to head to the Forest of Peace, immediately. Confused, Vincent goes anyway. It is revealed that Jay himself also senses it. At the Forest of Peace, Vincent sees a portal at the center and he goes in it. He is sent to Earth-1005 and he is attacked by two Witherers named Fang and Shredder who were hunting down this reality's petal. He is thus knocked down after a long clash through half of Earth-1005's Hope City and is luckily rescued by other Petals just in time.
He learns that, the Petals are all being hunted down and killed, including himself. Victor Universe, the Vincent of Earth-790, the Vincent who never lost the power of being the "Horseman of Judgement" but managed to defeat Apocalypse and the Dark Alliance earlier than Vincent. He explains that they all need his help as he is the most powerful of them all. Vincent is confused as he hasn't even reached the potential of his Red Rose and he later learns that he was the one who defeated the Forgotten before and even the one leading the Witherers, he also learns of his former friend, Daniel' still being alive after 5 years. All of the present Petals rely on Vincent as he is their only key within their survival and the whole Rose of the Multiverse.
Can Vincent step up to his newfound status, will he and the Petals survive and defeat the oncoming trial or will this be the end for all?

Prologue:
(5 years ago... Hope City Elementary School, 6:27 AM, March 27, 2010, Day of Graduation)
The special starts with a prologue that takes us back 5 years ago to Vincent's graduation, where his battle with the Master Player and Daniel has almost come to an end. Tired and aching, an eleven-year old Vincent is struggling against the Master Player and Daniel's every single blow they deliver upon him where he is easily being beaten up, soon the Master Player delivers a quickened punch to his left cheek, causing him to fall down and seemingly knocking him out, much to his friend's dismay. Justin and Adrian are holding back the rest of Mini-skulls while the others are trying to find a way to both help Vincent and turn everything the Master Player has done disrupted to normal.
Vincent tries to stand up, in which case, Rachel is happy to see him do so, but unfortunately the Master Player stops him halfway as he is about to stand. The Master Player and Daniel taunt him for his low battling experience, as well as his mistakes that he's done in the past, criticizing his leadership within the Mystery Group, his pathetic life and even going so far as mentioning his ultimate failure to save the girl that he cared about the most. At the sound of hearing the name of the one girl he fell for, Vincent tries to gather every last strength he has inside to stand up while being forcibly pushed back down by the Master Player. Justin takes notice of what is happening, while Rony tells them that Vincent is trying to do his best.
But then, Daniel grabs Vincent's head, bashes his face to the floor and throws him off the edge of the platform they were on, much to the horror of everyone. As both the Master Player and Daniel think that they've finally gotten rid off the one 'piece' that they would not need in their plans, Vincent, who is freefalling down towards an endless fall and is near death's door from the brutal fight he's been in. During his near death experience, Vincent remembers all of his adventures and misadventures before the events that have just occured, rebuffing himself as a great person and even calling himself a loser for not being able to prevent the Master Player's plans and to prevent his friendship with Daniel from decimating, which lead to the latter's hatred towards him. Vincent decides to let Death come at him as he gives up on his own life, just then, a light shines on him, and as he looks further, sees the girl that he failed to save 3 months prior to the events happening now, the girl is none other than Raven Carters. During their talk, Vincent apologizes for his failure to save her and blames himself for everything, but Raven tells him that it wasn't his fault and sympathizes him that he should not give up, as this is not one his best traits, as the Vincent she knows would keep on fighting even as the worst times. Vincent asks her why would he convince someone like him to fight back against two stronger people than him, to which Raven asks because she and the rest always thought of his as their 'special' friend, being the greatest of them all and tells him that she knew about his crush on her for the past 2 years. Vincent is surprised to know that she knew about it, Raven tells her that she 'like-likes' him and that he should never lost hope, just as much as she never lost hope on him before. Before she leaves, Raven tells him that he should unleash that one good spot within him, pointing to the scar the lightning bolt struck him 3 years ago, Raven then bids him farewell and good luck on his 'rebirth'. Back in reality, Vincent's seemingly dead falling body starts to glow. Meanwhile, Daniel and Master Player are taunting the remaining Mystery Group and that there is no hope for them now, as with Vincent's lost, they are doomed.
Justin and Adrian rebukes this, saying that their friend isn't dead, Rachel, Rony, Anthony, Abigail, Raymart, Kim and the rest also say the same. Master Player then rushes towads all of them, intending to attack them all. He yells that he will finish off Adrian, Rachel and Justin first and then he will take care of the rest after. A second before he can strike Adrian and Justin, a glowing light appears behind Daniel and Master Player and tells him to stop. It is shown that this glowing light is Vincent, and he charges at the duo and the screen goes white.
Main Story:
===Part 1 - The Gathering:===
(5 years later... the Chamber of Blight, the Dark Realm, 12:07 AM, October 13, 2014, the Magician's Revenge)
The screen then takes us 4 years into the present where a sixteen-years old Vincent had just defeated the Magician and thwarted his plan of Revenge on him. The Magician begins to disintegrate, but before he does, he tells Vincent that something big is coming for him and the 'rest of your kind', and taunts him that, even if he failed to kill him, someone far more powerful than he is will. Vincent asks what is he talking about, but the Magician only tells him to brace himself for the inevitable and with that, the Magician dies, vanquished.
Vincent is puzzled on what he said, then a portal behind him opens up, with Stick Waqas, Red, Jessie and MicWizard coming out to retrieve him.
Back on Earth, Vincent is resting from his early battle with the Magician and is thinking of what he said before he died. Tired, yet curious, Vincent cannot sleep as he wants to know what the Magician meant by 'the end of your kind' and the 'inevitable'. Vincent gets up from his bed and heads for the Crew's Waerhouse.
Meanwhile, on a world known as Earth-12509, a Witherer named, Baryon is hunting down that world's Petal. The Petal he is chasing is 21-years old, Vince Stevens, the wielder of the Colossal Rose. Baryon relentlessly pursues his 'prey' and catches him, Vince tries to fight back, but to no avail, Baryon taunts him by saying that 'he does not know how hungry he's been' and begins to 'consume' the power and life force of that world's Petal, in the process, slowly killing him. As Vince slowly begins to 'wither', a portal opens up and three figures arrive and they punt off Baryon off of him. One of the figures check up on him, and is later shown to be the Vincent of Earth-1246, and the other two, who are fighting off Baryon are the Vincent's of Earth-X and Earth-Tri084, respectively. When Vincent of Earth-1246 rushes onto Earth-12509 Vincent, they were too late as this Vincent begins to slowly die. Earth-1246 Vincent apologizes for they were too late to save him. Earth-12509 Vincent, on his last few breathes, asks for them to get his son, Will Universe, as he might be a potential 'heir' of the Red Rose entity as well and also asks them to get him to safety before the Witherers find out about his kid's 'soon-to-be-founded' power and with that, that reality's Vincent dies.
Vincent of Earth-1246 accepts and then joins Earth-X and Earth-Tri084 Vincent from fighting Baryon.
On another Reality called Earth-P27189, where most of everyone is a hybrid of an animal and human formed through genetics, that reality's Vincent, who goes by the alias of Monkey Vince, is doing his daily routine; napping and slacking off. When his mother calls him, he is attacked by Death Hunter, another Witherer, who almost breaks his neck. Monkey Vince fights off Death Hunter and tries to run. As his mother starts to come outside and get him inside, Monkey Vince tells her to stay inside and keep the children from going outside as he takes care of Death Hunter. During their battle, Death Hunter manages to subdue Monkey Vince and, as he is about to feast on his power and life force, he is ambushed by Vincetick, Vincent of Earth-Re001, Chris Universe, Vincent Universe of Earth-017 and Raven Carters of Earth-065.
Vincetick tells Raven to get Monkey Vince into the portal as he, Chris and Vincent of Earth-017 take care of Death Hunter. Raven manages to get Monkey into the portal, Vincetick tells the rest to retreat back, and they all escape, but, Death Hunter starts to target Monkey Vincent's family and he tries to attack them, but Vincent of Earth-Re001 and Earth-017 stops him and sends him back to the 'stem' of the Multiverse, the duo halls back to the portal.
Back on Earth-001, Vincent has just finished talking to Jay about his strange feeling, Jay tells him to head over to the Forest of Peace to calm his mind, Vincent asks why, but Jay tells him to head over there immediately. Vincent is confused but starts to make his way there, as he leaves, Jay is seen with a worried look on his face.
In the future, the Universe family is attacked by two Witherers named Starbreaker and Galaxix who have beaten down the Vincent of the future, his children decide to help but are punt away by the two Witherers, Vincent tells the kids to get out while they can as he retaliates back and seems to have the upperhand until Galaxix throws him to the ground below. Vincent then tells his eldest son Vince to take his siblings and make a run for it while they can, Vince and Ashley want to help their father by Vincent tells them to go as he orders them to do so. Galaxix realizes that the children are also 'petals' and decides to chase them, but Vincent manages to get Starbreaker off him and takes down Galaxix as their house begins to fall apart from the fire.
Vince and Ashley take Kylie, Ash, Peace and Cole outside and they run. Vincent is then taken down but still manages to fight back just a little more before getting his broken and he is soon 'devoured' by Galaxix and Starbreaker.
Ashley then senses that their father's 'entity' is gone, realizing that he is dead. Just then, a portal opens up and the children are taken in by Vincent of Earth-1246, saying that they should go, immediately as Starbreaker and Galaxix come out of the ashes to try and attack them. The Universe siblings enter the portal and Vincent of Earth-1246 closes it just in time before Starbreaker could reach them. Galaxix comlpains that he did not get to 'eat' the children's life force and power, stating that the younger the 'petal' the tastier they would be. Starbreaker assures him that they will soon find the children, along the petal who rescued them, they then leave the future Earth-001 as the house begins to burn down with that future's Vincent's corpse still inside.
In the present, Vincent has just arrived in the Forest of Peace, as he wonders why Jay sent him there as there is no appropriate reason for him to be there, as he continues to walk further in the Forest, he senses something powerful, an essence just like his Red Rose. His Red Rose then begins to glow, and as he traverses the Forest further, Red Rose begins to light even more.
He reaches the center of the Forest and finds a portal, thinking that it could Stick Sean's, Vincent enters it.
He is then sent to Earth-1005, a world where Vincent had unleashed the full potential of the Red Rose entity and kept both the power of the God of War and the Crimson Bands. He is then brough to the Forest of Life, where the trees are beginning to let its leaves fall down. Thinking that it could just be nothing, Vincent continues walking. As he does, he bumps into two witherers named Fang and Shredder.
Vincent, who has no knowledge of the Witherers, thinks that they are normal civilians and asks what are they doing in the Forest of Peace. Fang and Shredder corrects him, saying that the location he is in is the Forest of Life and that he is doomed. Vincent is confused and asks why he is doomed. Fang rushes up on him and says "Because we're gonna kill and eat you, ALIVE" and attacks Vincent. Vincent manages to dodge quickly and fights back, but Shredders fights him as well. The two Witherers enagage Vincent in a long clash which soon brings them to Earth-1005's Hope City, where they battle through half of the city.
On that Earth's hideout for the Universe Crew, the Vincent of Earth-1246 is there and senses another 'petal' in that world. The Vincent of that reality says that another petal may have inadvertedly entered his world and tells them that Fang and Shredder could be hunting whoever it is out there right now, unknown to them that the Witherers are already fighting Vincent. Raven of Eatrh-065 volunteers to go along Chris Universe, Jacob Mitchells and Vincent of Earth-1501 with her to check out who it is.
Meanwhile, Vincent takes down Shredder and almost subdues Fang, but the latter manages to counter and send him flying into the air, then knocking him down with sheer force, crashing Vincent through numerous Floors on a Business building. When Fang and Vincent reach the Ground Floor, they quickly engage each other, even with Vincent feeling a bit tired himself. Vincent manages to overpower Fang and sends him flying through the nearby columns of the building. Then Shredders arrives and viciously attacks Vincent, but somehow, the latter manages to fight back and takes down Shredders as well. Soon, Baryon, Death Hunter, Galaxix and Starbreaker joins in and they all attack Vincent.
Raven, Chris, Jacob and Vincnet of Earth-1501 arrive and find Vincent being outnumbered but still being able to hold himself against the overwhelming odds of the Witherers. Raven is surprised and shocked to find that this particular Vincent is similar to the one she lost on her reality. A flashback then shows Raven cradling the lifeless body of her reality's Vincent after this one died of being beaten and killed by the still alive Master Player of her reality after which this Vincent tried to save her from, but inevitably ended in his death. Raven keeps herself from crying over the bad flashback. Meanwhile, Vincent manages to beat down both Baryon and Starbreaker, subdue Death Hunter in a pile of rubble and incapacitate Galaxix, until both Fang and Shredder return and they team-up on Vincent and knocks him down unconscious. Raven tells the group to rush in and help him.
When the Witherers, except Galaxix and Starbreaker, converge on Vincent, Baryon says that 'he put up a great fight' and Fang adds that 'he is food to them now'. As the Witherers are about to feast on Vincent's power and life force, Vincent of Earth-1501 and Jacob takes them down, along Chris. Raven takes Vincent and tells them to retreat.
Death Hunter escapes the concrete that surrounded him and helps Galaxix come to. Fang says that they lost another petal from their hands because of those other petals that helped him, Baryon notes that it is very unlikely that the 'petals' are just coming in and out of dimensions to not only rescue the others, but also brings them to a certain dimensional realm. Daniel then arrives and tells them that the Petals are gathering in order to overpower and defeat them all, as well as the Forgotten. Shredder asks how he managed to come with this theory and Daniel insults him and says asks them if they hadn't notice that Raven Carters of Earth-065 and Jacob Mitchells of Earth-131 was also here. Baryon tells him that they did notice Jacob, but not Raven. Daniel tells them that the rest of the remaining petals who have sensed the danger that are coming upon them have decided to band together the others who have no knowledge of what's going on. This shocks the Witherers, as, with this type of endagerment onto them will cost them dearly. Daniel reassures them that not all the petals know about this and orders them to take down the rest of the other petals who have not yet known of the crisis before the others tell and rescue them before they can manage to feed.
The Witherers then begin to scatter through different dimensions. Galaxix asks what Daniel is going to do and says that he is going to pay a 'nice' visit to an old friend of his.
In the Universe Warehouse of Earth-1005, Raven and the rest have returned and brought Vincent to a makeshift medical room within the Warehouse. Vincent of Earth-1246 does a full scan on his body to check him for any further harm that was done to him and surprises everyone when they find out that he is the 'one'. Earth-1246 Vincent asks how he could be 'the one' and Jacob tells him that he did manage to hold off the rest of Witherers on his own before they got to him. Chris takes note of his Red Rose and sees that it is very different looking from theirs. Vincetick of Earth-S012 rebuffs them, calling that 'The One' is just a superstition meant to put them on the wrong side of their race for suvival against the Witherers. Raven tells him off saying that, while none of them could actually hurt the Witherers, this Vincent can as she saw it herself along Chris, Jacob and Earth-1501 Vincent. Chris and Earth-1501 Vincent agrees with her, but Vincetick still refuses to believe them and says that this petal could may as well have endangered them all, as, now perhaps that the Witherers may know where they are and that they're gathering.
Suddenly, a portal opens up and four petals appear, among them is the Aira of Earth-Re004. Vincetick stands by and readies himself for they could be possible threats. Vincent of Earth-1246 asks how they managed to get to this specific location and managed to use a portal without any knowledge of what they're in. Aira of Earth-Re004 says that she and the rest were brought here because they sensed 'the One'. Vincent of Earth-1246 is surprised to know that they were brought here through their 'senses'. Monkey Vincent then tells them how they knew of 'the One'. Aira tells them that a sudden 'attraction' made her go here, blushing a bit, and as well as the others, possibly because of the One's presence within the 'seed' across the Multiverse. Vincetick still refuses to believe in 'the One' and tells Valencia of Earth-TG616, Vincent Brood of Earth-Re001, Agent V of Earth-17824 and Ashley Universe to check their perimeter for any possible sightings of the Witherers near where they are.
Raven asks what is he going to do and he says coldly that he's going to show them that 'the One' is nothing but a folk legend across the Multiverse and says with a very commanding tone that, once Vincent wakes up, he is going to challenge him and see if he truly is 'the One' in a sarcastic manner.
Vincent of Earth-1246 tells him to calm down as the One is said to be the one that could take down the whole Witherers and the Forgotten. Vincetick remarks the possibility saying that, even if it were true, this Vincent couldn't possibly be the One and or he couldn't possibly be the one to save them all. Vince and Ash Universe tells him that their father died doing no other petal could do and that they and their siblings know this particular Vincent, claiming that he is their father from the past. Raven is surprised to know that the Universe siblings are from Earth-001's future and is also stunned to know that Vincent will have a family as well. This saddens yet makes her happy at the same time, knowing that the boy she loved in her reality also wanted a happy family, saying to herself that it was his dream. She also notes to herself that this Vincent and her reality's Vincent are not too different in many ways, even so far as saying to herself that she and this Vincent could end up together as the possibility could may as well be true, even if they are from different dimensions, but then remembers that, they are from different dimensions, she then realizes that this Vincent could still have a Raven from his reality.
Meanwhile, Ashley and the others are patrolling for any Witherers on their location. Daniel is spying on them and uses his newfound ability of Intangibility to get pass them. As he opens the door, the door itself opens up and the Petals inside exit, Vincetick then begins a heated argument with Vince, Ash and Vincent of Earth-1246. Valerie Universe goes to Vincetick's side, as well as Earth-X Vincent and soon these petals begin to bicker over the One. Daniel enters the Warehouse and finds Vincent, still unconscious from his fight against the Witherers. Daniel non chalantly greets his former friend and now nemesis and sarcastically thanks him for trapping him within the 'stem' of the Multiverse for nearly 6 years. Daniel talks to the unconscious Vincent that, once he wakes up, he and him will have to settle an old score that they didn't finish when they were young. Daniel angrily states the none of what happened to him back then was ever his own fault, but Vincent's, saying that if he hadn't been the one to lead the Mystery Group and as well as did all those things in the past, he wouldn't be so miserable and troubled and he would be with his own sister who he wishes to see again, in a depressed tone. Daniel then begins to lose his temper and taunts the still unconscious Vincent that if he ever dares to try and battle him, he swears that he will kill him no matter what as it was because of him that all this happened to him as no one is to blame but Vincent alone. He then starts to act strange and asks himself why should he wait when he wakes up and instead says that he could may as well finish him off now. He agrees with himself and uses his copy of the Red Rose entity, called the "Dark Thorn", and is about to kill Vincent with it until Raven of Earth-065 appears. Daniel stops and Raven asks how he is still alive and is surprised to find out what he was about to do. Daniel tells her that he is not the same Daniel from her world, but from Vincent's world instead.
Raven is stunned and scared to see that he was about to kill his own best friend and asks him how would he do such a thing and Daniel resents being Vincent's best friend, stating that it was because of him he never got to see his own sister again, as he is now forbidden from returning to Earth-001 and also says that he lived 6 years of sorrow and anger within the Multiverse, which had driven him insane and the need for revenge against Vincent. Raven tells him to back off or she will fight and assures herself that she will kill him if he doesn't.
Daniel taunts and scares her, saying that he already killed her once and that he will do so again if he has to. Raven begins to cower and Daniel comes closer to her, Raven tells him to get away from her, but Daniel ignores her and says that he cannot wait to see her die again, just then Kylie, Vincetick and Aira move in and engage Daniel. Daniel escapes with ease and tells the petals that, even if they have the One, they are all doomed to die at the hands of him, the Witherers and 'soon to be reawakened' Forgotten.
Monkey Vince and Peace comforts Raven, while Vincent of Earth-1246 says that, now they are truly in danger as he knows that this Daniel is working with the Witherers and tells everyone to huddle up as he begins to open another portal to another world. Before they leave, he tells Monkey Vince, Vince, Raven, Aira, Agent V and Chris to take the still unconscious Vincent with them. He opens the portal and it is seen that it will take them to Earth-110, where this world's petal is Kyle Stephen, this world's deceased Vincent's protege. As they leave, Raven begins to think to herself that maybe everything she knew could change instantly with everything that is happening, meanwhile Aira is beginning to act strange, as she begins to get nervous and shy around Vincent, even though he is still unconscious.
Just in time, Vincent of Earth-1005 had just arrived with Fire Rose of Earth-B013 and Vince Aku Ubersi of Earth-071. Vincent of Earth-1246 tells him to get ready as they are about to leave his world, Vincent of Earth-1005 says that he is and they all take their gear and prepare.
The first part ends with everyone leaving Earth-1005.
===Part 2 - March of the Witherers:===
(5 years ago... Hope City National Park, Center Garden, 7:45 PM, January 17, 2010, Vincent and Daniel fight against White Crusader)
The second part starts wtih a flashback, just like the first part had, in which Vincent and Daniel are beaten down by White Crusader, an old adversary of the duo from since they were 10 years old, is ready to claim victory upon Vincent and Daniel, due to their condition that if one of them were to lose, the other(s) were to forfeit and step down from everything and would be framed for everything that had happened in the Cliffordson's Mansion incident.
Daniel asks his best friend, Vincent if he can still fight, Vincent takes a glance at Raven, who is extremely worried as he, and Daniel, have taken way too many bruises during the entire fight. Vincent urges himself to keep fighting and tells Daniel that as long as he can, he can too. The duo rises up and Daniel taunts Crusader, asking if that was the best that he got, to which Crusader speeds up on him and punches him away, seemingly knocking him out, Crusader then goes for Vincent and starts to beat him without relent. Vincent then manages to get the upperhand and kicks and then 'combos' White Crusader, taking out three teeth out from his mouth, this stuns him long enough for Daniel to return and take him down.
The group cheers Vincent and Daniel for taking out White Crusader and winning, but, unknown to the duo, White Crusader rises and punts Daniel away and viciously attacks Vincent, claiming that he just made him 'uglier' by punching out his three good teeth. He then kicks Vincent and takes out his Lance and begins to lunge at him, intending to kill him off. Daniel sees this and tries to get up only to black out while saying "No". The group are in horror to see what is about to go down. When White Crusader is about to impale Vincent with his Lance, Raven gets in the way and takes the blow instead, much to the group's horror and dismay, Crusader's surprise and Vincent's extreme horror and regret. Vincent yells for Raven as she slowly lies down, Crusader takes the Lance and tells her off for getting in his way and just as he turns around to impale Vincent for good, he is struck with a full force punch from him, which sends him flying from afar, the group is amazed by what Vincent had just done. Crusader is humorously sent flying to a nearby Jailhouse, in which his cellmate is Josh Rook, the man he betrayed who begins to beat him up for his betrayal before.
Vincent then rushes to Raven's side, who is bleeding from the Lance's blow. Vincent then orders Ronny and Kim to call for an ambulance and tells Anthony, Alyanna and Keith to help him hold the pressure to keep her from dying of Blood Loss, meanwhile Myca and Paul help Daniel come to and carries him.
Vincent is frantically trying to keep the pressure on her wound, but Raven tells her that it's okay as Vincent begins to tear up. Alyanna and Keith are then called by Kim and Ronny to help them flag down an oncoming Ambulance while Myca calls for Anthony's help. Vincent is left to try and keep Raven from dying and tells her that she'll live and that everything will be okay, but Raven tells her that it's okay if he let her die. Vincent denies this and tells her to stop talking like this as it is not funny. Raven then tells to stop as she is already beginning to feel weak and her body begins to turn pale, Vincent realizes that she is dying fast and desperately asks the others if the Ambulance has arrived, Ronny tells him that it hasn't and that it's still on its way. Vincent screams out loud in total anger and regret. Raven tells her to stop and that he needs to know that, there is nothing to stop her from dying now, not that Vincent finally proved something that Raven had been trying to find for herself for the pass 2 years now. Vincent asks her what it is and Raven only tells her that she knew everything, she then begins to tear up as well and asks her of what he thought of her when they first met. Vincent begins to cry even more and asks why would she ask such a thing at a time like this, to which she says that she only wants to know.
Vincent tells her that he always thought of her as intelligent, creative, idealistic, cute and most of beautiful, Raven asks him if he wants to know what she thought of him, Vincent is caught off guard and nervously asks what. She tells him that she thought of him as a funny, brave, kind, optimistic, determined and best of all, the greatest person that she ever met in her entire life. Raven begins to black out as she is now at death's door, ready to move on to the afterlife.
Vincent begins to tear up even more, Ronny and the others then find the ambulance approaching and they all head towards to tell it where they are. Vincent tells her that he is sorry for everything, and that he should've listened to her. Raven tells him to shut up as he finally proved 'it', proved that he is, in fact, that person she had been looking for, the person she dreamed that she'd be with forever, Vincent begins to cry, far more than before, as she slowly dies, her final words to him are: "I'm happy enough that I met you, and even if I die now, we'll always be together.... somewhere... I'll wait for you then, and that you need to know that.... I... I... lo-lov-" and with that, Raven dies in Vincent's arms, happily to be with him during her final seconds.
Vincent then cradles her lifeless body and lets out a regretful scream of total sorrow and utter regret and Ronny and the others arrive, but are too late. The group mourn over the death of their friend, moreoever for Vincent as he just lost the girl he loved. He keeps on cradling the now dead Raven as the others mourn. Then... the screen fades to white.
(5 years later... Hope City, Universe Crew Hideout, 1:00 PM, October 14, 2014, Earth-1005, Day 1)
The screen then takes us to a still unconscious Vincent, who is talking in his mind by himself, asking where he is and what happened to him. He begins to hear voices that are surprisingly similar to his and begins to complete asks himself where he is. He begins to have lucid flashbacks of the events of what happened to him before and remembers that he was attacked by two strangers who go by the name of Fang and Shredder and fought them as a result. He then remembers that he was thrown back something, something unbelievably powerful which took control over him and then begins to hallucinate a glowing light blue figure calling his name, the figure states that he is 'the One', Vincent asks the mysterious being what he means, but the figure only keeps saying that he is 'the One', confused, Vincent is taken up high where he continues to hear voices that are strangely his, while some are not, he overhears that they are arguing with someone, is surprised to hear someone who sounds like Daniel and even more when he hears the voices of Aira and Raven as well.
The figure lightens up and is shown to be him, a much more powerful and spiritual-like version of him. The figure reveals itself to the embodiment of the Red Rose entity that resides within him and says that it took on his form because he is 'the One', Vincent is curious on what he meant by he is 'the One'. Red Rose explains it to him and shocked to know that he is the first bearer of the Red Rose and the so called 'Defender of the Rose', even moreso when Red Rose reveals that the voices he hears are the voices of his 'brothers' and 'sisters', other versions of himself and other people that he may know who also bear the power of the Red Rose entity, but only the fractional amount of power that he has. The figure explains further upon the details of what he is in and what is going on. Just as Red Rose finishes explaining about the crisis at hand, Vincent hears someone saying that they will move another Earth, this confuses yet stuns Vincent along the way, Red Rose then tells him that he is on Earth-1005, but he will then be transported to Earth-110 by the others.
Out of Vincent's mind, Raven, Aira, Monkey Vince and the others are carrying him via a capsule-like stretcher into the portal. The Vincent of Earth-1005 takes one last look at his beloved Hope City, Vincetick and Vincent of Earth-1246 tells him that they need to go, but Earth-1005 Vincent asks them that, if the Witherers are extremely dangerous, maybe he shouldn't leave his world, but Vincent of Earth-1246 tells him that they're only hunting down them and not anyone else, saying that there's nothing to keep them in his world except for them. Vincetick tells the two that they need to get going before Daniel returns and tells the others that they're changing locations.
Elsewhere, on an Earth known as "Earth-TG616", Valencia Universe, that world's Petal, is leading a battle consisting of 9 members of that world's Universe Crew against that world's Dark Alliance, who have just kidnapped Aaron Shayne along the officials of the Senate of Hope City. Valencia tells the Slush Fighters to engage Alpha-9 Pattern X to disarm the armed Unknowns, Valencia then has Dark Blue and Pinky along her side to attack Dark Thundra. Valencia then strikes Thundra and the two rivals clash as the rest of the Universe Crew hold off the remaining Unknowns. Meanwhile, Pinky frees the Senates and Aaron. Pinky tells them to take the fire exit and run as things begin to get out of control. Aaron does not want to leave and decides to stay and help his girlfriend, Valencia. Pinky debuffs this and tells him to run, as Valencia and Thundra take the fight to the streets. The rest of the Universe Crew go on to help their leader, along Aaron. But as they are about to help Valencia, more Unknowns begin to surround and fight them.
Aaron manages to beat the two Unknowns who surrounded him and goes for Valencia to help, fortunately, Valencia manages to fight off Thundra and overpowers her. Thundra orders the rest of the Unknowns to retreat and swears revenge on Valencia for ruining her and the Dark Alliance's plan, Valencia gloats by saying that she can take on anyone, anytime, because of her abilities as a heroine of Hope City. During this, the crowd present cheers her and the Universe Crew on. Dark Blue reminds her not to get too full of herself, because it could mean something bad for her, but Valencia ignores this and says that, for once, she should be proud of what they've achieved so far. Aaron hugs Valencia and kisses her, thanking her for once again saving his life and the Senates, in which his father was among.
Pinky teases Valencia by saying that she just got her fourth kiss from Aaron and that the next one would mean that "it" will be serious, referring to their relationship going to a new level by that. Valencia blushes and tells her to stop teasing her about it, but Pinky laughs. Dark Blue then tells Valencia that the Slush Fighters have gone inside to take care of any other remaining Unknowns from within Hope City's Mayoral Palace. Aaron then asks Valencia is she'd want to go out later tonight, but before Valencia could answer, a portal opens up and Starbreaker and Baryon appear, with the same intent they had with the other Petals. Baryon instinctively goes after Valencia, but Pinky and Dark Blue blocks him from doing so. As the duo try to engage Baryon, Starbreaker intervenes and sends the two flying to the Palace, as they get up, one of the columns fall down, but Valencia rushes up and saves them, Pinky and Dark Blue escape and as Valencia is about to throw away the broken Column, Baryon attacks her with brute force, sending her crashing through the Palace's walls and out to its Garden. Aaron is horrified at what the result of the fight will be and runs off to help Valencia. Pinky and Dark Blue go as well. Injured, Valencia tries to get up, but Starbreaker kicks her off the ground and sends her to the Lake. The Slush Fighters engage Baryon, but they are all easily outmatched and are knocked out. Dark Blue attacks him next, but Baryon, instead, kills her clones by 'devouring' their life force, though it isn't her that's being 'eaten', Dark Blue begins to turn pale, Pinky attacks Baryon and tries to stop him, meanwhile, Starbreaker relentlessly attacks Valencia, but she manages to hold off and retaliates. Valencia activates her ability "Inner Rage", restoring her energy and raises her strength back to optimum level and attacks. Starbreaker is hit with a flurry of Valencia's fast paced punches and she send him flying with her Red Rose. Valencia seems fine, knowing she has defeated her enemy and once again taunts a seemingly unconscious Starbreaker. She then says that she is too powerful for him, however, Starbreaker rises up and attacks her again, with Valencia in disbelief as she is struck with a powerful punch which sends her, once again, flying on a nearby boulder. Back with Pinky and Dark Blue, Pinky is beaten near death by Baryon, but the Slush Fighters regain consciousness and fights him again, only for them to be easily slain, one by one. 
Dark Blue calls for the other Universe Crew for help. Pinky manages to stand and retreat along Dark Blue. Aaron reaches the Garden and witnesses his girlfriend being mercilessly attacked by Starbreaker. Valencia is dying from her many sustained injuries. Starbreaker then taunts her in Irony, stating that he enjoys every single pummel he is giving her, going so far berating her as a powerful petal. Velencia's vision begins to turn black and white, signifying her near death experience is happening. As she is still continously beaten down by Starbreaker, she remembers Dark Blue's statement earlier, and finally agrees to herself that she has been too self centered around herself, proving that she is more powerful than thinking about her place in the world as its Savior. As Starbreaker is about to deliver the finishing blow, Aaron interrupts him by ramming him with a truck. He gets out in time as the truck hits a wall and blows up, killing Starbreaker. Aaron rushes towards Valencia, who is beaten severely, but she can still manage it. Aaron worries about her current condition, but Valencia reassures him that she is fine. Just as Aaron picks up Valencia and carries her away, Baryon surprises them both and goes for Valencia, just as he charges, Aaron defends Valencia, taking the killing blow for her.
Valencia is in utter shock, but just as Aaron dies, he says that she never answered his question if she wanted to go out tonight, Valencia tearfully calls him a jerk for teasing while he dies but agrees that she will go out with him. Aaron's final words to her are in gratitude to her answer and apologizes to her as he dies. Baryon insults Aaron's intervention as well as the other members of the Universe Crew. Valencia, enraged and at the same time mourning over the deaths of Aaron and the 7 other Slush Fighters, attacks Baryon.
Meanwhile, back with Vincetick and the other Petals, they had just set up a secluded refuge on Earth-110. Vincent, who is still unconscious, manages to sense where they all are from within his mind as he continues to converse with Red Rose.
Vincent of Earth-1246 wonders why Vince, Ashley, Raven and Aira are taking too long to find Earth-110's petal. While on their run to find this world's petal, Vince, Ashley, Raven and Aira are having a hard time trying to find Earth-110's petal. Vince comes to the conclusion that they might find this world's petal, who goes by the name of "Kyle Stephen" in a place called "The Heroic Hill" which is just two kilometers from where they are. The group heads of, but Raven sees a field that gives her a very strange sense in her mind. Ashley calls her and the group heads on. Back with Vincetick, Vincent of Earth-1246 senses that another petal is in danger, but Vincetick tells him not to risk it, as, if a Witherer is causing the petal he is talking about to be in danger, they should not risk saving whoever it is that is under attack as a Witherer could bring the others to them. Monkey Vince sides with Earth-1246 Vincent, and says that all petals should stick together and have each other's backs, Kylie also says this herself along Ash and Cole. Vincetick is moved by this and tells Vincent of Earth-1246 to choose his team and save the petal. Vincent of Earth-1246 chooses Monkey Vince and Agent V. He opens a portal and they all go inside it.
Back on Earth-TG616, though Valencia's abilities were increased with her rage, she is still no match Baryon. Valencia is once again in disbelief on how he can still manage to beat her even after all of this. Baryon intimidates her and reminds her that she will die soon as he will 'eat her alive', just like he did to the others. Valencia begins to cower, due to the event that is happening. As Baryon moves in to to finally 'devour' her life force and power, a portal opens up, bringing in Vincent of Earth-1246, Monkey Vince and Agent V.
The trio engages Baryon. Vincent of Earth-1246 tells Monkey Vince to get Valencia through the portal as he and Agent V take care of Baryon. Monkey Vince goes over Valencia, who is now in utter fear, Monkey Vince tells her that everything will be fine and that she needs to trust him and the other two petals, assuring her that she will be okay. Valencia goes with him through the portal. Agent V and Vincent of Earth-1246 retreat back as well. Baryon is angered by what just happened, along with Starbreaker's return from death. Starbreaker asks what he missed and an annoyed Baryon replies that he missed an opportunity to wipe out four petals at once. The duo leave Earth-TG616 just as the rest of the Universe Crew arrive to find the corpses of Aaron and the other Slush Fighters.
Back on Earth-110. Raven, Ashley, Aira and Vince reach Heroic Hill. Vince explains that Heroic Hill was built to honor the many fallen heroes of Earth-110's Hope City. Raven asks why'd they bring him here, Aira points out the reason, as she sees what appears to be a monument of that Earth's Vincent Universe near a cliff with a view of the open sea and sky. They all approach and find that this world lost its Vincent not too long ago at the hands of the Dark Alliance where Vincent sacrificed himself to save everyone from the resurgent numbers of Earth-110's Dark Alliance and the Destroyer. Aira reads that this Vincent died at the age of 14, and for some reason makes her blush a bit. Vince reads an encryption on his grave.
"Though we all hid in the shadow of fear, one young person went out into the light and fought for what was right. A brave and noble heart, a mind filled with Innocence and Justihe and a body of pure Righteousness. All the harshness of evil he took upon himself, a sacrifice he could only take for others that were forever in his heart and soul. Though death took him away, his light will forever shine bright throughout the people he has inspired, saved and loved. A salute to our young hero... the Protector of Hope City. May Peace forever be with you."
Raven and Ashley are both seen shedding a tear as they are touched by the words the people of Hope City of Earth-110 gave this world's Vincent, Aira is visibly upset. Vince says that every petal was destined for greater things and that the Vincent of Earth-110 proved his statement, as his death came with the protection of Earth-110's Hope City and World. Just as they leave, they meet Kyle Stephen as he was about to visit his mentor's grave. Kyle asks who they are and Raven steps up and explains herself. Kyle is surprised to see Raven alive, not knowing that this Raven is from Earth-065. Raven tells him that she is the Raven he knows, but not the one he truly knows himself. Aira then explains along Raven, surprising Kyle even more as his world's Aira is currently away after the death of Vincent Universe of his world. Once the group had finished explaining themselves, a portal appears and Death Hunter strikes them all, along a few versions of the Danger Duo from different dimensions where they all engage each other in a fight.
Meanwhile, Vincent is still having a conversation with Red Rose. As Red Rose further explains the situation, Vincent begins to sense something ominous and extremely dangerous is trying to communicate with him. Red Rose tells him that it might be the Forgotten. Vincent is at first confused, but later remembers the Forgotten. Vincent is telepathically transported to the Stem of the Multiverse, where he sees Daniel along Galaxix, Starbreaker, Baryon, Fang and Shredder. Vincent is moreover shocked to find Daniel is still alive after 5 years. Vincent watches as Daniel brings in the bodies of the knocked out petals of different dimensions, all of whom the others did not get to save in time. Daniel then raises the corpse of the Forgotten and 'feeds' it with the life force and powers of the Petals, all of which die instantly after. Though it was fed with several petals, Daniel deduces that it is not enough and that they should all hunt more as he gathers more otherdimensional villains to help them in their oncoming fight with the gathered Petals. As the Witherers and Daniel leave, the Forgotten telepathically communicates with Vincent.
The Forgotten sarcastically greets him, in which Vincent says that he is dead since he killed him the last time they met, a flashback then occurs in where the Forgotten tried to take over Earth-001 along his Interdomain Army, only to lose to the Universe Crew and be killed by Vincent. The Forgotten states that his death only averted the inevitable death that would come upon his kind, saying that the end is near for all of them, in which Vincent remembers a strikingly similar saying the Magician told him earlier. The Forgotten then begins to sense that something wrong will occur to both of them once the fight for each of their respective group's survival begins. He says that one will die, and one will live... suddenly, their telepathical communication is interrupted by Red Rose, who says that he shouldn't hear the rest, to which Vincent deduces that he will be the one to die, Red Rose otherwise and encourages him to do his best for the other petals.
Vincent then begins to gain consciousness, slightly. Back with Raven and the group, they are trying to hold their own aginst Death Hunter, but with no luck as Death Hunter is too powerful than all four of them combined. Just when the tables turn, Death Hunter targets Kyle Stephen to devour, but the group takes him down in time for Vince Kazama, Valerie Universe and Jacob Mitchells arrive to help. Death Hunter retreats. saying that he will come back for all of them as he just needs to take a breather in his world. Jacob then tells everyone to get back to the refuge.
Back at the refuge, Vincent has gained complete consciousness. The other petals are relieved to see him active after a near fatal fight with the Witherers before at Earth-1005. Vincetick is skeptical on the others belief that Vincent is 'the One' and ignores him. Vincent of Earth-100 asks if his condition is stable enough for him to move and Vincent answers in the affirmative. Kylie, Ash and Cole rush over towards their father's past self in joy while Peace stays away, completely hesitant after witnessing the death of their father in their time. Vincent hugs the his future children in complete happiness, while the kids cry in joy, where Vincent asks why. They say that his future self died at the hands of Galaxix and Starbreaker, this mostly shocks and surprises Vincent, but he shrugs it off, noting that, with the information about his coming death at the hands of the two Witherers, he may have a chance to avoid it soon. Vincent spots Peace, who is standing away from him, and Vincent goes over to ger and realizes that she is affecte by his future self's appparent death, Peace only cries as she hugs him. She says that she does not want to lose her daddy again as she holds him rightly, Vincent assures him that 'daddy won't leave her' as he hugs her back in return. The other Petals are happy to witness a tender moment between them.
Then, a portal opens up, and Agent V., Monkey Vince and Vincent of Earth-1246 come out of the portal along a still frightened Valencia Universe of Earth-TG616. Vincent of Earth-1246 notices Vincent is awake and is relieved and asks if the others have filled him on what is happening, when Vincent Brood of Earth-Re001 tells him that he already knows himself, much to his surprise. He then tells Monkey to take Valencia to her quarters for her to rest, sympathizing her experience in her own reality just now. Vincent of Earth-1246 then tells him that, wher they are is a temporary refuge that he and the rest of other petals will stay in for the meantime, as they are all being hunted down by the Witherers. Vincent then asks if there are any other Petals, to which Vincent of Earth-1246 says that the others are out, and Vincent asks if Vince and Ashley, her two other future children, are mong them to which Earth-1246 confirms. When Vincent expresses concern over his two 'soon-to-be' children in the future, Ash and Peace reassures him that their brother and sister are tough and that they can handle anything since Vincent's future self taught they everything he knows or will know in the future.
Just then, Aira, Raven, Jacob, Valerie, Vince Kazama, Vince and Ashley along Kyle Stephen have just arrived at the refuge. Vincent is surprised to find Raven is still alive and that Aira is among the others, not knowing that these two are from different realities from his. Kylie then teases her future father if either Raven or Aira is her future mother, as the Universe Children have not seen their birth mother's face for 16 years. Vincent then becomes nervous and is hesitant, but only manages to answer that he himself doesn't know.
Vincetick asks Valerie if they encountered anything or anyone while they were out on Heroic Hill, to which Jacob says that they encountered Death Hunter, but left with no knowledge of where they really are. Vincetick then tells Earth-1246 Vincent that it may not be safe since the group had just ran into Death Hunter and that if he wer to find out where they, they would all die. But Vincent of Earth-1246 says that, as long as the Witherers don't know where they are exactly, they're safe, but Vincetick refuses and, as nighttime hits, tells Vince, Valerie, Vincent Brood, Raven, Vince Kazama, Vint Cen and Fire Rose to go on Night Watch duty. Vincent of Earth-100 then tells Vincent that they weill have a discussion tomorrow, regarding him and the other Petals. Vincent of Earth-1246 then tells Vincent where his quarters and leaves along Agent V to continue on their work for a cloaking device.
Kylie asks her future father if everything will be okay and he reassures her that it will. Ashley then goes to her and tells her to come with her now to their quarters to sleep, as Peace, Cole and Ash are tired. Vincent then tells her that they'll be sleeping with him throughout the remainder of their predicament, not wanting to risk his future children to be out of his sight. Kylie is happy about this. Vincent then asks his future eldes son if he is okay with the Night Watch duty, to which he says yes. Vincent then tells him that, if their were anything to happen that was frankly ouf of place as to where they are, he would come over to him first to inform him, to which Vince replies that he knows and he will. He then leaves to go on his position on Night Watch. Ashley then guides Peace, Cole and Ash to Vincent's quarters for them to sleep and she calls for Kylie, who does not want to leave 'daddy's side', when Ashley tries to pursuade her, Kylie only rejects. Vincent then tells her to let her sister stay with him. Ashley then agrees and she goes inside. Meanwhile, Raven is paying close attention on Vincent, as he and Kylie head outside to watch Earth-110's night sky. As they are about to exit, Vincent and Kylie run into Aira of Earth-Re004, who, at first, nervously greets the two. Vincent greets her back as well, then, out of nowhere, Kylie greets Aira by calling her 'mommy', much to Vincent and Aira's surprise and total emrassment towards each other. Vincent then whispers to Kylie why would she call her that, to which she says that she might be her mommy and that her daddy shouldn't be afraid to face and talk to her, since that she will be his wife in the future, not knowing that this is a different Aira. Aira then begins to blush and Vincent apologizes for his future daughter's behavior as he emberrassingly runs off outside. Aira is left with a red-pink face and runs off to her quarters in complete surprise as to what she just heard.
Vincent then asks her why would she say such things to her, to which she replies that she may gotten it from mommy's side, Vincent then has no choice but to shrug it off. Raven, who heard the whole things, feels a bit weird, as she clasps her arm on her chest.
Meanwhile, back on Earth-001, Red and Amy are trying to find Vincent, who has been gone for two days and hasn't been heard of since his battle with the Magician. Dark Green, Vinnie, Paige and Standrew go on a citwide search for him while the rest of the Crew go out onto the open fields of the world to find their leader. Red tells Amy that it's not casual for Vincent to not be heard of after a battle that would define a new for him, to which Amy agrees. Red then has a flashback of Jay telling him not to worry about Vincent's absence for the meantime, telling him that he's doing something very important that would life and death for him. Red then deduces that Vincent might be fighting the Dark Alliance, who have been off their sights for quite some time now.
Back with Vincent, he and his future daughter are watching the night sky of Earth-110. Kylie asks her future father if he ever wondered what his future wife and her future mother looks like or who she is. Vincent tells her that he doesn't much put any thought about who he'll be with for the rest of his life, moreover thinking about what he is doing in the present than what he will do in the future. Kylie then falls asleep on her future father's lap, suddenly, Aira of Earth-Re004 approaches the two and asks him how he's doing with the presence of his future children in a slightly nervous and curious tone. Vincent then tells her that he's doing okay with it and pretty much handling what he's in. The two converse with each other, with Raven of Earth-065 watching the two from afar.
Later on, Vincent carries Kylie back to the refuge and in his quarters along her other siblings. Vincent then meets up with Aira of Earth-Re004 again. Vincent asks her if she's from a different reality from his, to which she confirms. Vincent is relieved, to Aira's curiosity and asks him why he is so relieved to find out. Vincent nervously explains himself about his reality's version of her, saying that he and his reality's Aira never really get along well, as the two have been bitter rivals in school for 4 years, much to Earth-Re004's confusion, as with her reality's Vincent, they've gotten along pretty well and are good friends. Earth-Re004 asks what started their hatred for each other. Vincent says that both he and his reality's Aira forgot, mostly the two are focusing on how to insult, make fun of and humiliate each other than remember the reason to their still ongoing hatred for each other. Vincent further reveals their rivalry, saying that they once glued each other's sit, locked each other in each other's respective rest rooms and even going so far as to 'vandalizing' each other's faces, much to Aira of Earth-Re004's dissappointment. She comforts him for his reality's version of her's behavior, to which Vincent asks why she is apologizing to him when they're both different from each other. Aira then says that she doesn't know, but knows that he's probably gone through worse sitauations than his reality's version of her's pranks. Suddenly, the two stop talking, but the silence is broken when Aira of Earth-Re004 asks him if he feels something strange, to Vincent's complete confusion and asks her what she means. Earth-Re004 then asks if he feels anything a bit 'weird' whenever he's with her. At first Vincent is utterly confused, but then realizes what she means. Vincent then says that he does feel a bit 'strange' whenever she's close to him, a feeling he's never felt before with someone else than Pyra.
As Vincent begins to think why he is feeling the same condition he had with Pyra upon first glance, all of a sudden Earth-Re004 leans on his shoulder and asks if he's ever felt something that he can't ignore, like an urge, Vincent then begins to get nervous as his begins to blush a bit. Earth-Re004 asks him if he now feels even 'stranger', to which Vincent replies that he does. Vincent tries to avoid any unnecessary doings, he tries to talk her about what is happening, but as he does, his words are cut short when suddenly, Earth-Re004 kisses him, catching him off-guard. Strangely, Vincent kisses her back.
Meanwhile, back in the Stem of the Multiverse, the Witherers are almost successful in reviving the Forgotten, having stolen the power and life force of nearly a hundred Petals. The Witherers are quite unhappy that they still need a few more Petals to finalize the Forgotten's return, Daniel tells them that they should begin their march against the other Petals immediately, saying that they should act fast as the other Petals are growing because they are gathering the rest. The Witherers then begin their march to hunt down more Petals, most specifically, the Petals who are residing on Earth-110, Daniel declares that, their march will mark the 'fall of the petals' as Part Two ends.
===Part 3 - Fall of the Petals:===
(4 Years Ago... Hope City High School, Room 108, 5:30 PM, November 12, 2010, Once again, Vincent and Aira are up to their usual antics...)
Part three starts with, yet another flashback from five years ago, where Vincent and Aira are at it again. The two rivals are tossing insults at each other, words that are far too furious and serious, that their classmates have backed away from both of them, with the strange fear of 'being in the line of the cross fire' between the two. Lilliona asks why aren't they stopping the two of them, to which Carvine and Jerome says that they all chose not to since they ageed on the terms that they wouldn't interfere with the two's hatred for each other. Arvin, Princess, Kathlene and Jason then tells everyone to get out as the namecalling of the two rivals becomes worse when the two begin to toss pieces of papers and begin to push chairs at each other.
Shanaya manages to get everyone out safely and tells them that they should leave the two alone, for the 37th time in their school life. The entire class, except Vincent and Aira, leave and head for the cafeteria. Vincent and Aira, on the otherhand, are still 'fighting' each other. When the insults get worse and worse and the two getting closer to each other's faces, they both notice that their lips are about half an inch away from each other. A sudden pause of silence brews up between them. The two are left with no action as they just stare at each other, a sudden blush creeping up on them both. The two then close their eyes at the same time and as soon as they realize it, they end up kissing, once they realize what they just did, the two separate and take their seats far from each other. Both in utter embrrassment and complete nervousness, the two of them agree not to tell the others about what just happened, Aira suggests that they shouldn't fight for now, to which Vincent agrees. A temporary truce between them is approved by the both of them, as they now have to forget about 'The Incident'. After that, the screen goes white.
(2 Years Ago... Hope City High School, Center Circle, 4:02 PM - 4:03 PM, 2 years after the previous flashback, March 15, 2013, Beast and Ravage attack Hope City High School in search for Vincent)
A flashforward set two years after the previous flashback, where Beast and Ravage, the guilty murderers in the Dark Alliance, are on their mission to kill Vincent, on the Destroyer's request. Vincent, along Red, Andrew, Jessie, Amy, Paige, Green, Terantula, Alfa and Michael are incapacitated after Ravaged engaged his Frenzied Fury ability. The students of Hope City High School begin to throw rocks at the two Alliance members, but Beast retaliates but using his "Feared Whail" on them, causing the students to cower. Beast and Ravage then approach Vincent and Ravages thrashes him out of anger for what he did to his right face. Beast calms him down saying that the Destroyer wishes his death, not his pain and suffering. Just as Beast and Ravage are about to kill Vincent, Aira manages to get their attention, giving Vincent enough time to move away while he is incapacitated, but both Beast and Ravage now seek to kill Aira for her intervention. Vinnie and the others arrive just in time to help Vincent and the others recover from their incapacitation, but when Vincent sees that Beast and Ravage are about to kill Aira, he rushes for her. Both Beast and Ravage feel sorry for Aira, as they have to kill such a 'beautiful specimen' and just when they are about to impale Aira with their Ionic Spear, Vincent dives in and takes the hit instead. Everyone is in complete shock, the whole Universe Crew then engage the two Alliance members and they are forced to retreat due to the overwhelming odds, but are successful in killing Vincent. Meanwhile, Aira is in complete shock, as, his rival literally took the killing blow for her. Vincent, on his last few breathes, asks is she still remembers 'The Incident', to which she nods, Vincent asks if she ever thought that actually meant something to which she says that she did. Suddenly, Vincent's body becomes cold, Paige quickly rushes to him and tries to find any signs of his pulse, but finds nothing. Alfa asks her if he is okay, but her expression gives everyone the horrible truth that they must now face; Vincent is dead. Then the screen goes black.
(2 Years Later... Earth-110, Former Universe Crew Hideout, 5:50 AM, Day 2 of the Withering of the Petals)
The screen takes us to Vincent's point of view in the present, where he find himself on a bed. Just as he sits up and looks around, he finds himself in a very awkward and totally embarassing situation; he finds himself next to Aira of Earth-Re004, where both of them had slept o the same bed.
He then frantically checks himself, but is relieved to find out that nothing happened between them. Earth-Re004 wakes up and asks him what is wrong, to which he asks what happened the night before and how they ended up in the same bed. Earth-Re004 then explains that, after the kiss, he asked whether he could be with her for the night, only once, to which she agreed to. She assures him that nothing happened between them that night, giving Vincent a sigh of relief. Earth-Re004 then asks if they could sleep together again tonight, to which Vincent asks why. She only says that she feels like they should, which makes Vincent slightly nervous and blush.
Vincent then agrees, reluctantly, which makes Earth-Re004 happy, making her hug him suddenly. Vincent then leaves and asks what she'll be doing for the day, to which she says that she'll be going around Earth-110 to check on anything that could endanger the group along Monkey, Earth-X and Earth-1246 later. Unknown to them, Raven of Earth-065 is watching from her quarters with a seemingly anxious look. Outside, Vincent of Earth-Re001 is sparring with Agent V, but he loses easily from the latter's high evasive manuevering skills. Vincent of Earth-100 calls for Vincent as he was watching the spar. Earth-100 talks to him privately as they discuss a potential oncoming threat coming to their refuge, a fact that worries him and Earth-1246, making him take a patrol team out on the city later.

==Mini-Shows==
This section is about the epilogue mini-shows that are tie-ins to the Special.
===Part 1:===
The Stem of the Multiverse - Raven Carters of Earth-065:
"What if... Vincent was the one who died instead of Raven? Thus a true fact settles onto another dimension where Raven lost her reality's Vincent, much like our little hero lost his Raven on his reality. Let's see her story before the events of that fateful day and the time she joined the other Petals."
This story mostly revolves around Earth-065 Raven's experience on her own as she was the one who took the entity of another Red Rose instead of her world's Vincent. It sees her adventures and trials, up to the two events that changed her life, for good.
The Stem of the Multiverse - X to Triumph:
"In a world where fighting is a common sport. A reality where it's motto is 'do or die'. One aspiring young man is ready to face his ultimate battle, yet."
This story involves a spin-off of the classic Tekken series by Bandai and Namco. It shows Vince Kazama as he fights off his dark side and his greatest fight in his entire life up to where his help is needed by the other petals.
The Stem of the Multiverse - Kyle Stephen of Earth-110:
"This reality's Vincent died saving the world from the resurgent numbers of the Dark Alliance. Although all is seemingly lost for everyone as the young hero died, his protege and friends are still active and ready to defend and serve justice in honor for their fallen. Kyle Stephen must step from his protege status in order to lead the Universe Crew on his master's dying wish."
This story revolves around Kyle Stephen, this reality's Vincent's protege as he leads the Universe Crew through their toughest times and move them up to a better position in a world without its brave and fierce young hero.
The Stem of the Multiverse - One Happy Family:
"The Universe children from the future lost their father and possibly their own mother after Galaxix and Starbreaker, two Witherers, attacked them. It's time to rewind fate and see the good times this family had before they were inevitably torn apart by a great evil that must be stopped."
This story fortells the events of the Universe Family from the Future before they were attacked by the two Witherers, Galaxix and Starbreaker. It shows the many good times the family had and the battle that released the potential within the siblings themselves before the inevitable lost of their father later on.
===Part 2:===
The Stem of the Multiverse - Hand of Judgement:
"In a world where the Horseman of Judgement reigns supreme over everyone. In a realty where Apocalype's hand was decimated. A dimension where the Universe Crew had now finally won over the Dark Alliance. But awaits the new ruler of this dimension will be something he isn't prepared for..."
This story follows Vincent, who now goes by the name of Victor, in a world where he never lost the power of the Horseman of Judgement, where he and the Crew had easily defeated Apocalypse, the Destroyed and the Dark Alliance. Victor's reign over everyone to his own rights and laws will test him in his next trial to prove whether or not he deserves his place...
The Stem of the Multiverse - The Sacrifice:
"Travel back into Earth-110's past and view the story of this world's Vincent before his noble sacrifice to save the world he most certainly contributed in protecting."
The story takes us to Earth-110's past, to view that world's Vincent's life before he sacrificed his life to save the entire Earth-110 world and the beginning of his protege.
The Stem of the Multiverse - The Amazing Spider-Man?!:
"A story will always have its roots... but what about a web? Journey into a Marvelous World, where dozens of Super Heroes roam freely to serve justice into the face of the public and stop evildoers from wreaking havoc among civilization."
A spin of of Marvel's The Amazing Spider-Man comic series. This story tells the story of Vincent Parker, a.k.a the Amazing Spider-Man. A petal with the power of an entity known as Red Rose and the abilities and powers of an arachnid. See his life prior to his recruitment into the other Petals.
The Stem of the Multiverse - Black Lightning of Earth-008:
"What if... Vincent was the bad guy and his clone Black Lightning was the good guy instead? This story will tell you what you need to know about this certain possibility."
The story takes place in Earth-008, mostly known as the Parallel Earth, where everyone from Earth-001 is the opposite of who they are in this reality. The story revolves around Black Lightning, most commonly nicknamed in this world as "Red Lightning" as he faces his longtime rival, Vincent Universe, this world's parallel of our Vincent of Earth-001.

==Characters==
There are a handful of Characters in the "Rise of the Roses" special. The characters can be seen below:
Main Characters:
Vincent Universe - The main character of the series. Vincent is the sixteen-year old leader of the Universe Crew, the twelfth savior within the line of Legends of his world and later revealed to be the host of the first Red Rose entity, who's power is far exceeding than that of the others. He is the sole key to the survival of his otherdimensional versions, due to his experience with the Forgotten and Daniel before. He is arguably the leader of Petals present within the group and the most powerful above all of them.
Vincetick Powerson - One of the main characters in the "Slush Invaders: The Series" series. Vincetick comes from Earth-S012, where he is the leader of the Slush Fighters V and a student within Slusher, Tower and Wing. He was the second Petal to sense the events that are traspiring within the Rose of the Multiverse and was entrusted by his mentor to gather the rest of the remaining Petals to secure their survival. He has a dislike of Vincent, who the rest of the group think is the sole key for their own survival, which he thinks otherwise, due to Vincent's seemingly unorthodoxed ways and attitude.
Mangaverse Vincent Universe - The main character of the Manga adaptation of Stickman Universe. This particular Vincent comes from Earth-008, where the whole world is themed in a Japanese style backdrop and the people are manga-like in appearance. He is very agile, instinctive and most of all, deadly with his version of the Red Rose entity, which acts his Gauntlet and Sword.
Vincent Universe (Earth-1246) - The Vincent of Earth-1246 who was the first of the Petals to sense the deaths that were happening within the Multiverse. In his reality, his seemingly dark persona almost overcame him, nearly driving him insane and shutting him of his true personality. During his climactic battle with the Dark Alliance and the Destroyer, he lost his reality's Universe Crew, in which he reverted back to his original self. He managed to defeat the Dark Alliance, but never got the chance to revive his friends. He has taken it upon himself to protect the rest of the remaining Petals, unlike from what he did to his friends, and will risk his very own life for them.
Victor Universe (Earth-790) - The Vincent who never lost the power of being the "Horseman of Judgement" who, in his reality, defeated both Apocalypse and the Dark Alliance much earlier than Vincent has, but unintentionally killed his reality's Universe Crew. He changed his name from Vincent to Victor, not wanting to remember the dark past he's had. He was the target of one of the Witherers, Harbringer, who would've ended him had Vincent and Raven of Earth-065 didn't come in time to save him.

== Cultural References ==
* The special is based off the "Spider-Verse" story arc from Marvel.
* There are a lot of ideas taken from Spider-Verse that were brought into this special and they are the following:
** Vincent being the 'key' is taken from Peter Parker/Spider-Man of the mainstream Earth (Earth-616) of the Marvel Universe being the 'secret weapon' of the Spiders. In Vincent's case, he is the one that could save all of the lives of his fellow Roses.
** The "Petals of the Multiverse" is taken from the commonly used name each Spider-Men and Spider-Women had given each other as "Spiders".
** The 'Petals' being taken from the name the Inheritors gave every single Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Spider-Creature and Spider-Child as 'Spider Totems' or simply 'Totems'.
** Earth call signs being taken from the comic as well
** The argument between Vincent and the Vincetick being taken from Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man's argument in the comic.
** The "Rose of the Multiverse" in the special being taken from the "Strand of the Great Web" or "The Great Web" in short.
** The Vincent of the Mangaverse being an idea taken from the Spider-Verse comic of Mangaverse Spider-Man being a member of the Spider-Verse.
* The Universe Siblings actual Birth Mother has not been revealed up to this point, since "Blast to the Future - Part 1" and "Blast to the Future - Part 2".
* Like before, the Eternal Palace is loosely based off of four buildings from the "Eight Wonders of the World".
* The traditional use of a 'Romantic Triangle' is used in this Special, due to it being a bit of Romance as well.
* Daniel mentions having a sister who's at the same age as him and Vincent. This is a foreshadowing of Alanna Kirinon, who is set to appear in Chapter VI - Season 1 of the series.
* If one looks closely and brightens up the Stem of the Multiverse's background, they can see that it is a darkened, animated background of the outer rim of space, which was used in the Marvel 2012 movie "The Avengers".
** The background could only be seen in the epilogue of the said movie itself and if compared correctly, they are almost exactly the same.
