Second Scratch

The Second Scratch is an event in the DeKadian universe that ends the local universal timestream. The event is preceded by a large two-pronged conflict as the major players and factions battle in the last moments of 2020. The fact that the Scratch happens indicates that the DeKadian universe has reached a failure state in which it can no longer continue. This event was prophesized near the end of 2019, resulting in major players preparing for the end.
== Preparations ==
=== Ultimate Necromancy ===
Prior to the final days, Trevor dismantled the Hate Obelisks he created in other Universes as anchors. No longer needing them, Trevor focused all the Hatred in the multiverse into the Hate Obelisk of DeKadian Earth. He built a ceremonial platform atop the accursed spire and moved to gather other materials. He retrieved Death from the Gravel dimension with Thomas's blessing and sealed the reaper within the Hate Obelisk. Shapiffany returned to her master, eager to assist him. Trevor secluded himself for 1 month, to gather the strength necessary to use the Ultimate Kendomancy technique in concert with the Ultimate Necromancy Spell.
=== The Time Capsule ===
Thomas, using Yamaku as the staging ground for his own secret project, transformed a student into a magic-powered bio-computer. Prior to the only known gate between DeKadia and KatawaDokia being closed, he retrieved Eric Withakay from Yamaku and implanted in his memory all of his schemes, a backup of his memory and the genetic components necessary to transfer his stand, kekkei genki and Zanpakuto. He then launched Eric out into the multiverse.
=== Shadows Emerge ===
Shadow Sean, Shadow Cole and Shadow Marissa (further known simply as S-Sean, S-Cole and S-Marissa respectively) vanished sometime prior to the final week, only to reemerge from the last known location of the Valley of the End. The Three attacked Josh and Donut who went to investigate the phenomenon. While Josh and Donut had incredible power between them, they were unable to defeat the usually trivial shadows. S-Sean's control of dangerous Titanoboa Lamias and S-Cole's 7 Man powers nearly overwhelmed Josh before Donut's punches forced them back. S-Marissa, using her Shadow version of Bondage, attempted to restrain Donut, but was weakened by the booming explosions of Josh's guns. Josh realized that something indeed was strengthening the shadows, and making them more resistant to damage, recovering with almost cartoon like rubbery bodies. Josh then changed the direction of his assault towards the Valley of the End and struck Dom with his ICBM missiles. Dom, the Aspect of Chaos, born from the Valley of the End, had been using the Shadows as puppets all along, though his goals were still unknown. Dom demanded the Zip-File that the real Sean is trapped inside, but Josh told him to "fuck off" as he did not actually know the Zip-File's location.
== P.O.K.E ==
Trevor Awakened from his seclusion and began the final ritual by which he would attempt to ascend to True divinity. Merry arrived at the Hate Obelisk, confused as to what Trevor was doing. Trevor responded by teleporting Merry to Gayhalla, where she would be trapped, but also spared from the ritual. Trevor, using Shapiffany as the catalyst performed the Ultimate Kendomancy, the Punch Of Kill Everything. Once thought to only exist in myth, the P.O.K.E. was created by The Progenitor God of Destruction to Kill Yaweh in the Bloatfly Universe. The resulting explosion of energy annihilated Shapiffany and drove the Hate Obelisk into the Core of the Earth, like a nail. The force carried across the entire planet, killing and vaporizing every life on the planet that was not powerful enough to survive. With the immense loss of life, Trevor performed the Ultimate Necromancy. By using a bound Psychopomp as a catalyst, Trevor trapped every lost soul on the planet, harvesting the necrotic energy and focusing it into his own body. Trevor ascends to the Form of the God of Death.
== Scratch Disk Revealed ==
The tremendous energy released by the P.O.K.E. devastated the Planet and released powerful Gravitational waves that shattered Earth's moon, revealing inside The Scratch Disk.
Meanwhile, after shrugging off the impact of the P.O.K.E. Dom and Josh began fighting while Donut held off the Shadows. Dom toyed with Josh, unaffected by traditional damage due to his cartoon physiology. However, as Dom was forced to focus on Josh, the Shadows no longer received his protection, allowing Donut to kill both S-Cole and S-Marissa in two quick punches. 
Thomas arrived at the battleground, assisting Josh against Dom. He wanted to focus on Trevor, but knew that the best way of stopping Trevor was undoing the Valley of the End. He revealed the Sean USB that held the Zip-File. Quill also joins the fight, having slipped in behind Thomas.
== Battle of Gods ==
With all life on Earth destroyed, no women existed on the planet anymore. With nothing left to stop him, Anthony performed the Auswalen and reclaimed the rights of all women, turning him into the Goddess of Feminism. However, he realized that Trevor escaping could doom the multiverse. He sent his Divine form to meet Trevor in Earth orbit. The two gods clashed, blotting out the stars and irradiating the Earth in their power. Anthony's divine form trapped Trevor, preventing him from escaping into the multiverse. As the two grappled, their sheer power knocked the Scratch Disk down to Earth. The two gods were equally matched, unable to escape or gain an upper hand. 
=== Merry and the Dark Lord of Lust ===
When Merry awoke, she found herself in Gayhalla, the realm of Becky P. Sucrose. Confused and worried about what is going on in her home universe, she frantically tried to return, but found that she was unable to. Fearing the worst, she travelled to the center of Gayhalla, the lair of Becky P. Sucrose. Upon entering, she was greeted as a friend by the Lust Demon. Sucrose explained that Merry's timing was perfect and that things were still going to plan. When Merry tried to question what Sucrose meant by this, she declined comment. Instead asking Merry what she intended to do. Still confused, but determined, Merry replied that she wanted to stop Trevor. Sucrose grinned at this and agreed to help. Merry questioned what the Demon was implying. Sucrose responded that only one weapon in the multiverse could permanently destroy a Dark Lord, the Rainbow Blade. Sucrose explained that the root of all 7 primal evils is Love. Love for oneself causes Pride and Envy. Love for possession causes Greed and Gluttony. Love of pleasure causes Lust and Sloth. And of course, Love is the core of the most visceral and dangerous sin, Wrath. Sucrose told Merry that the only way to destroy, rather than weaken or disperse a Dark Lord is for that which they Love to pierce their heart with the Rainbow Blade. Merry asked why Sucrose was telling her this, to which Sucrose responded that Trevor reaching Godhood, even in a doomed timeline meant he was a threat to all the Dark Lords and needed to be put down, and that since Merry had no connection to Sucrose, there was no harm in giving her the Rainbow Blade. Merry solemnly agreed to take the weapon and to defeat Trevor. Sucrose took Merry by the hand and brought her back to the DK universe.
== Valley Undone-The Original Returns ==
As the Gods battled overhead, Thomas entered the fray. Thomas's unique skillset allowed him to keep pace with the being of Chaos. Josh pulled his two children aside, throwing the two into a bus that he kept stored in his hammer-space. Josh gave his farewells to Quill and Donut, before throwing the bus so hard that it ripped through the walls of reality and into otherworld. Little did he know, that Quill escaped the Bus, refusing to leave his father. Thomas kept Dom at bay, but was completely blindsided by a fully powered Indian Trevor. With far greater strength, Indian Trevor locked Thomas in a full Nelson. Dom, then seizing his chance, takes the USB from Thomas. Thomas remembering that Indian Trevor exists, depowers the chaos entity and breaks free from the hold. Indian Trevor, content that the plan worked, de-manifested and ceased to exist. As Thomas broke free, Dom captured the hidden Quill and slammed the USB into his hidden neck-port, downloading and extracting the Sean.exe file into the boy. Josh, in a blind rage attacked Dom, but was too late. Sean manifested, escaping from the file.As Sean manifested, the key to the Valley of the End was turned. The Psychic Maelstrom ripped itself apart, manifesting the Valley of the End in full. The Scratch Disk slid into position and activated. With the Valley of the End falling apart, a time-pulse ripped through the universe, shattering the mental link between the Hivemind. The tremendous psychic backlash nearly killed Josh and Thomas, and caused Trevor's God form to collapse. As Trevor separated from his divine spark and necromantic power, he fell back to the Earth, leaving behind the energy of the Black Sun. 
With nothing left to sustain his existence, Dom attacked the weakened Thomas and the two merged. In a brilliant flash of light, the Thomas that the DK Universe had known was replaced, forward and backwards in time, with the being that had once been, Thomas-Prime. The Scratch Disk activated, beginning the final countdown towards the end. Thomas-Prime announced to those in attendance his true purpose and form. A cosmic being of Entropy who had found this infant universe and discovered that it had the potential as a seedbed for Gods. As the awakening of Gods unleash an infinite amount of energy, the Entropy being had only one goal, to feed on this energy for all of time, and now that the energy had been released, he would consume Trevor and Anthony's god forms and reset the universe, to do it again and again forever.
Merry and Sucrose arrive just in time to find Trevor's regenerating body in a crater next to the Hate Obelisk. Sucrose bid Merry farewell and Good Luck before retreating to her realm.Unknown to all participants, stepping into the DK Universe, Dirty Lyle had a plan. He pierced his Stand with the Stand Arrow, activating his Requiem Stand. No longer would Dirty Lyle be content with running. He learned his purpose in the Universe. To keep monsters like the Hivemind and Gods from ever causing harm in the multiverse again. He turned his power to always escape like a mouse, into the perfect Rat Trap. As his Requiem Stand activated, the DK Universe became completely isolated from the multiverse, no way in or out. 
The stage was set for the Final Battles.
== Demon Execution Battle ==
Trevor and Merry faced off in the shadows of the ruins of the Hate Obelisk. Without his Necromancy left to fuel him, Trevor assumed his form of the Dark Lord of Wrath. Merry attacked with the Rainbow Blade, her love for Trevor and herself fueling the swings. The Blade Cut Trevor's body, forcing him to retreat. He had never experienced True pain in his Demon Lord form. It was normally immune to true damage. As a being born of and raised in conflict, a spark ignited in Trevor that had not since long ago. A true battle, a showdown worthy to be his death. He continued his assault and with each blow Merry was forced back. All she had was the Rainbow Blade, but it was more than enough to keep pace with the Demon Lord. She slashed the Rainbow Blade, and cut off Trevor's arm. He didn't lose momentum, and used the strike as an opportunity to launch Merry into the air. The two traded blows in the air until Merry Slashed the Rainbow blade and divided the Hate Obelisk in two. Napalm blood spilled from Trevor's mouth. He took Merry by the arm and threw her miles away. He leapt through the air after her. As Merry caught her bearings, she realized that she was flying towards the Valley of the End. She regained her balance and landed on one of the statues of the Valley, with Trevor crashing into the opposite statue.
The sensation of thrilling battle along with the nostalgia of this location, lit Trevor's soul on fire. At last he could experience a true climax to a life of endless war. Merry leapt across the gap, but Trevor threw off his Demonic garb, catching her in the air. Trevor attacked Merry as she was vulnerable, using a combination of his rubber band body and Kendomancy techniques to assault her with a flurry of devastating blows. As one arm came close, Merry rolled in air, bringing the Rainbow Blade down through Trevor's other arm, severing it instantly. Trevor regained his posture before drop kicking Merry away and once again donning his cloak. Landing on the ground with a resounding crash. Merry recovered from the blow, using her pregnomancy to summon a rainbow empowered Patty Pompadour and The One True Scrung. The two beings attacked Trevor. Without his arms, he was forced to rely on his demonic cape to defend himself as he waited for a mistake. Patty went in for an uppercut, but ventured too close to the Demon, and was grabbed by a massive spectral, skeleton arm. Trevor had activated his Resureccion: Libro Del Huesos. He grabbed Patty with the Arm and forced Patty to forget who he was fighting. The True Scrung attempted to attack back, but was pummelled by Patty, attacking anything that got close. The two interlopers now distracted, Trevor continued his assault on Merry, attempting to Erase the memories of Love with his Hollow powers. Merry's determination held strong and she cut through the Arm with the Rainbow Blade, cutting off what was Trevor's only remaining arm. Merry landed in a low stance, but she did not realize her mistake until she saw Trevor's foot. She had landed in the optimal location for Trevor to use the Kendomancy Technique: The Kick Designed for Human Babies.
As Merry sprawled across the ground from the impact, Trevor stood above her. His battle-lust had distracted him from his goal. He demanded to know what Merry intended to do with that Blade. She responded that she had to stop Trevor. Unamused, he questioned why she had only used non-fatal attacks such as cutting off arms. Merry did not have an answer. Trevor told her that if she didn't have the resolve to pierce his heart, that the battle would end in his favor and he would simply be reconstituted in another universe. This was Merry's last chance to defeat him. Merry pushed Trevor back, and stood once again in a fighting stance. 
Merry proposed one final attack. Winner take all. Trevor accepted as tendrils of metal and shrapnel erupted from his arm stumps. The two ran each other and clashed. Merry ran Trevor through with the Rainbow blade as Trevor's tendrils merely pierced through her limbs. Trevor fell backwards in a spray of blood and towards the water that collected in the Lake basin of the Valley. Merry fell next, exhausted and wounded and caught Trevor in air. The two crashed into the Lake below. Merry surfaced and pulled Trevor's rapidly crumbling body out of the water and onto the shore. 
== Final Battle: Thomas-Prime Vs. The Brothers Parb ==
Thomas-Prime attempted to leave the Valley to attack Anthony who retained his divine powers, but Josh attempted to stop him. Still wounded, Josh stood little chance against the fully empowered Thomas who now possessed the Toon-like abilities of Dom. Once Sean recovered from manifesting and adjusting to Quill's body, he joined the battle as well, evening up the score. Anthony, seeing that Merry was dueling what was left of Trevor, moved to join the fray and stop the Scratch disk. Little did he know, that this was the worst mistake of his pitiful life.
Anthony appeared at the Valley of the End, not knowing that Thomas-Prime had become active. Thomas-Prime immediately grabbed the god and consumed a large portion of his divine spark before Sean and Josh could break the two apart. Anthony was severely weakened by the exchange, reverting back to his High-Queen form. Sean attempted to attack, but was repelled instantly by Thomas-Prime's new stolen agility: the Misogyny barrier. In a desperation attack, Josh fired off his entire arsenal at once, coating the battlefield in a massive nuclear fireball. The attack initially seemed effective, until Thomas-Prime simply absorbed the nuclear energy with his entropy powers. The Nuclear-Feminist powered Thomas-Prime blitzed Josh, slamming him into the cliff walls of the Valley. Anthony, having somewhat recovered, attempted to re-auswalen the women's rights Thomas stole, but Thomas-Prime simply used his Stand 「Ｐａｃｉｆｉｃ•Ａｔｌａｎｔｉｃ」 to reverse the direction of the Auswalen, forcing Anthony to give more Women's Rights to him. As a result, Anthony reverted to his "President of the Virgin Islands" form.
Josh emerged from the wall. Without any more ammo, he was forced to fall back on his last weapon, Kendomancy. Holding up his arms, Josh prepared the Baka-Dama, an incredibly powerful but dangerous Kendomancy as it required him to be exposed while gathering all the latent Stupid-energy from the universe. Thomas-Prime immediately attempted to punish Josh's weakness, but was stopped by Sean. Thomas wondered how Sean was able to intercept him despite the Misogyny Barrier. Little did Thomas-Prime know, that allowing Sean's mind to merge with Quill's body was the worst decision of his pathetic life. Sean had obtained full knowledge of the internet, and downloaded the entire archives of 4-Chan directly into his central processor, making him immune to all forms of SJW-mancy, including Feminism. 
Thomas pulled out a gun and shot Sean for his impudence.
Sean's distraction gave Josh a little more time to gather the Stupid Energy, but still wasn't ready as Thomas approached. Thomas asked if Josh really thought that such a technique would work, as he could just absorb it. Josh maintained his focus. Thomas pulled out his Zanpakuto, the Nickle sock. Anthony leapt into the fray, tackling Thomas and forcing him away from Josh. Thomas laughed as he rose, amused that Anthony would still try to fight despite having all his powers taken away. Anthony chuckled.Anthony, accessing his programmed Kendomancy training from deep within himself, used a deadly combo, of the "Nothing Personal" technique to get behind Thomas and the 9-Block-Slap, slapping Thomas-Prime's posterior with enough force to level 9 city blocks. The shockwave sent Thomas-Prime flying into the opposite cliff wall, burying him under a landslide of rock and debris. With Thomas stunned and incapacitated, Josh finished the Baka-Dama and threw it at Thomas, creating an explosion so bright it could be seen across the universe.
Believing they might have won, Josh and Anthony took a moment to breath before setting their eyes on the Scratch Disk. Their moment of reprieve was interrupted by Thomas-Prime breaking out of the crater. The two brothers were exhausted after using their best Kendomancy techniques, they watched in horror as Thomas-Prime activated his Bankai, The Coin⭐Star. Thomas-Prime wasn't even tired. 
Without any options left, Josh did the unthinkable.In a brilliant flash of light, the two brothers became one. Joshthany was born. Combined with the powers of Kendomancy, the Gay-Force, and what little Feminist Magic Anthony had left, their power sparked and transformed the fusion into Joshthany Calvo-The True Meaning of Wrestlemania.
Thomas sprung forward, attempting to crush Joshthany with his Bankai. His blow was deflected by the Fusion's deft parry, leaving Thomas-Prime open for the Kendomancy Technique: Bloodborne Parry. In a spray of blood, Thomas was thrown back. Not losing his momentum, Thomas opened a portal to the Gravel Dimension underneath Joshthany's feet. Sinking into the bottomless gravel, Joshthany appeared defeated, but he used the Kendomancy Technique: 20/20 Hawkeye vision to see through the gravel and find his path to escape. Joshthany broke free of the gravel and immediately set upon Thomas with the Kendomancy Technique: The Kaio-Crippler, attempting to disintegrate all of Thomas-Prime's bones. Thomas-Prime defended deftly, avoiding having his bones popped. Despite everything, the two had found themselves evenly matched. Thomas had only one option, to escape and allow the scratch to reset this universe and return to consume more gods in the next. Thomas attempted to leave, but found his ability to leave the DeKadia universe blocked. Now aware that he was also trapped in the dying universe, Thomas rushed to the Scratch Disk, in a mad rush to stop the Scratch.
He was too late.
== The Scratch ==
Thomas-Prime reached the Scratch Disk but the process was complete, an anti-space/time pulse fired from the disk, annihilating everything it touched with blinding light. All the battle's participants watched as the light approached. They were returned to dust. The Universe was completely reset, leaving only Dirty Lyle as the immortal living seal that kept everything within the universe inside. And thus, the DeKadian timeline ends and a new world takes its place, with many familiar returning faces in new roles. The cycle continues. The Ouroboros bites its tail.
End.
