## Plot

Before the first chapter, Marmalade is shown back on his home planet, Planet :(. His father is pressuring him, in order for him to possibly confess to any failures or mistakes. As Marmalade discusses his “successes”, he mentions the supernatural technology his army has, to his parent’s interruption and shock. Underestimating the dangers about the technology, Marmalade’s father proceeds to explain the immense risks and hazards with the technology, claiming that the usage would lead to the end of the universe. Marmalade then lies about never using the technology in order to relieve his father, which seemingly works.

During a hiatus of heroism from the group, Shadow Squad G is now a world-renowned and widely successful superhero team. Tiffany is interviewing the team as apart of a new show, being toured by Mr. Piranha. Everyone is having a break and pursuing other hobbies, all except for Mr. Snake. He’s isolated himself from the world for over a year, locking himself away with nothing but his abilities. While trying to experiment with his strength, he’s suddenly confronted by an unknown voice. This menacing voice, although confusing Snake, manages to persuade him into finding a doorway into his dimension. The voice attempts to manipulate Snake into using his abilities for the domination of all things, to his decline. After explaining to Snake how there is a multiverse, the voice then asks him to open the doorway, this time promising him his friends happiness. He curiously follows his order, and is transformed by the being.

Following a coincidental bizarre feeling from Fox, the team rushes to his location, where they are greeted by a much more menacing Snake, now shown with horns and a spiked tail. This then leads to him using his new abilities and corrupting everyone’s minds into pure madness, although it oddly leaves Fox and Piranha unaffected. Fox unexpectedly reverts everyone back to normal with a newly displayed ability, while Piranha spends the duration uncontrollably levitating in the air, going on about “The One”. During these events, Fox attempts to confront Snake about his new alignment, while Snake tells the others that they must either be stuck with being “good and insignificant” or “embrace their destiny” and join his new side. He then abandons the team, Fox is quickly weakened, and Piranha snaps out of the levitation. Everyone is immediately confused about the sudden sequence of events, and that confusion is only worsened when Nathan abruptly arrives next to the team.

In the sky, Snake is seen talking to the aforementioned being, revealed to be a large, otherworldly and demonic centipede. Four other beings are also shown conversing, though all of their appearances are blurred for mystery. Nathan tries his best to explain the situation, until Fox calls everyone’s attention to the outside. Snake is shown in control of the sky, creating massive thunderstorms and snakes in order to terrorize the planet, ending the book.
