## Plot

A year after the events of the first comic, the remaining survivors found refuge in an abandoned junkyard, where they built a makeshift base and started training themselves for any potential terrorist attack. The group had lost many members in the previous attack, but they were determined to stay strong and protect one another. Amidst all this, Ali decided to take self-defense lessons from Hashim Rwashdeh to sharpen his skills. One day, while practicing, Ali witnessed a group of surviving yakuzas trying to attack the remaining survivors as revenge for their fallen leader. With his training, Ali knew he had to act fast. Along with the rest of the survivors, they managed to fend off the attackers and save themselves. However, instead of being appreciated for his bravery, Ali felt ignored and unrecognized. This was a big blow to him, as he had put himself in harm's way to protect the group. His friend, Moaz Ali, tried to console him by reminding him of the bigger picture. They had all survived another attack, and that was what mattered the most. But Ali couldn't shake off the feeling of being unappreciated, and it continued to bother him.

Meanwhile, Loai Ismail and Kinan Henna finish construction on a multi-dimensional portal that contains 3 different dimensions, with 10 shards which when combined, form a resurrection ritual that could bring the dead back. Ali then assembles a team to obtain the shards consisting of himself, Hashim, Moaz, Loai, Kinan, Aser Mossad, Salma Alfitiani, Aron Lee, Omar Mohasseb, Josh Abraham, Adam Bilal, Nermine Elsamad, Taha Fehri, El Guapo, and Yaseen Elnayeb.

Ali, Loai, Kinan, Aron, and Omar head towards Technopolis City to acquire the first three shards. The first shard, which was used as a necklace, was in possession of Sha3ban, a Japanese gangster mafia boss of a notorious criminal organization. The five of them devise a plan to sneak into Sha3ban's base to retrieve the shard. However, things don't go as planned, and they end up getting ambushed by Sha3ban and his gang. But with their skills and Aron's mech, they manage to turn the tables and defeat the gang, finally retrieving the first shard. The crew then forces Sha3ban to reveal the location of the second and third shard. According to Sha3ban, the second shard was located in an ancient Japanese temple, and the third shard was in an abandoned spaceship stranded in space. The team splits up again, with Ali, Aron, and Omar heading to the temple while Loai and Kinan use the K.L.U.F.O. and head to space. At the temple, Ali, Aron, and Omar manage to obtain the second shard, but on their way out, they face Ding Xu, the guardian of the shard. Despite a tough fight, they manage to defeat him and escape with the shard. However, their excitement doesn’t last long as a masked figure abducts Ali, prompting Omar and Aron to flee. Meanwhile, Loai and Kinan successfully obtain the third shard from the spaceship but are chased by an army of aliens who are also after the shard. Despite being outnumbered, they manage to defeat the aliens and escape.

Meanwhile, group 2, consisting of Hashim, Moaz, El Guapo, Adam, and Josh, travel to a Mad-Max-like dimension, which houses 3 shards. The first one was owned by The Boss, a mafia boss and druggie. El Guapo and Moaz ambush one of his men’s traveling expedition and follow them into The Boss’ secret hideout, where they fight him into telling him the location of the third shard. Meanwhile, Hashim, Adam, and Josh obtain the second shard from an abandoned mine and dig to hell, where the last shard is kept. Hashim fights off the demons and finds his long lost brother C.J. Rwashdeh, who has the shard. The four, including C.J. flee hell and reunite with Moaz and El Guapo.

Meanwhile, Ali wakes up and finds himself locked up in The Phantom Phoenix, the masked figure’s spaceship. The figure introduces himself as the Phantom Ninja and manipulates him to tell him the locations of the 10 shards, in which Ali does, thinking he’s an ally.

As for the 3rd group, consisting of Yaseen, Salma, Nermine, Taha, and Aser, travel to a cursed dimension, containing 3 more shards. They successfully obtain them from a haunted mansion, the land of the dead, and the cursed lands. However, the Phantom Ninja follows them, steals the shards, and kidnapping the five. After realizing the Phantom Ninja’s true intentions, Ali demands his identity, to which the Ninja unmasks himself, revealing to be a nihilistic variant of Ali from another universe, much to Ali’s shock. When Ali asks him why he’s doing this, the alternate Ali, who calls himself “Alistair”, reveals to him his tragic backstory: in his universe, after he and the crew defeated Shreikov, he got zero credit and got bullied by everyone and got treated like nothing but a joke. Consumed by his anger and jealousy, he abandons everyone and intends killing the Ali from the other universe to replace him, destroy the 10 shards, and make everyone’s lives a joke like himself. He then forces Ali to get him the final shard from The Nothing or he’ll kill the captive group. Ali then defeats the Beast, who guarded the final shard, and brought it to his alternate self. However, Alistair changes his mind and pushes the prisoners off his ship before fleeing with the shards and leaving them to die empty handed. Salma then calls Loai to pick them up with the K.L.U.F.O. and they all head back home.

The group try hiding the remaining shards before the alternate Ali’s arrival, and once he arrives, Hashim and the rest attack him as a distraction while the regular Ali sneaks onto the Phoenix and gets the shards back. But as he leaves he gets cornered by Alistair and a brutal fight between the 2 variants ensues, while the Phoenix travels between different dimensions rapidly. Ali then gains the upper hand and damages the Phoenix, causing Ali and Alistair to be trapped in the nothing. As the ship starts to fall, Alistair beats Ali really hard into submission before attempting to flee the ship before it reaches the ground, but Ali stops him and assures him that he may be a joke, but its not about what others think of him, it’s about what he thinks of himself, before jumping off and getting rescued by Hashim and Loai, while the Phoenix crashes, blowing up. Injured, Alistair tries killing Ali one last time before Loai opens a portal back to Alistair’s original timeline, reuniting with his old friends, who apologize to Alistair for their mistreatment towards him. Now redeemed, Alistair returns the shards to Ali who then returns with Loai and Hashim on the K.L.U.F.O. back to their respective timeline.

Once back, Ali resurrects everyone, including Dirar, who has been revived by the Bosnian congress after the Armenian war of 1877, who then finally appreciate him as a true hero. Then everyone shares an emotional reunion, sit around a giant campfire and celebrate their reunion, with C.J. officially joining the crew. in the epilogue, it’s revealed that Marwan Ahmad got resurrected along with everyone else, and is standing far away and looking at the crew with an evil grin.
