Dom and Bern: A Nightmare A-Voided/Transcript

This is the transcript to the Chronicles Episode "Dom and Bern: A Nightmare A-Voided".

## Intro

**Previously on Punch Time Exploders...**

(At the Prophet's Palace...)

Billy: Wow. I sure am glad we got out of the Movement's grasp in time and didn't have to wait three months for the next episode!

Amethyst: Yeah, and after all that craziness, all I'm ready for is a nice long break.

Uncle Grandpa: I'm just glad Deadpool appreciated me giving him a lift back to his apartment. Guess being a current-former High Council member has its perks.

Mr. Gus: Uncle Grandpa, your triple-E pager is beeping... again.

Pizza Steve: Oh, boy, what have those three done now?

Uncle Grandpa: "Knowing them, probably another capitalistic venture of Eddy's going spectacularly wrong, again."

Mandy: "But isn't that always the case with those chuckleheads? Just what did they do to warrant your actual attention this time?"

Uncle Grandpa: I don't know, but it must have been bad if the pager is going nuts.

Bernadette: Well, I got nothing better to do, so we might as well take a gander. (Tries to walk off, but Dominator grabs her shoulder)

Dominator: Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm not done with you yet!

## Chapter 1: What Do We Do?

(In Bernadette's room, Dominator drags her in by the arm)

Bernadette: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! What the heck, man?

Dominator: That mission with those Movement guys couldn't have been more stressful!

Bernadette: To be fair, we were being held hostage-

Dominator: No! That's the problem! We had a fighting chance against these guys, and we just went stealth mode with Deadpool and escaped!

Bernadette: "Dominator, they were armed to the teeth with weapons designed to counteract against our abilities and combat robots that could even tire Ben and Kevin out, all from a ship once owned by the High Council. Chances are, stealth was the safer route. And frankly, judging by the fact that even Deadpool didn't even so much as shoot one of them in a strangely comedic fashion, frankly, doing any violence would've only validated their misguided rage against the High Council. And even then, if we just tried to fight, we would've failed again and just be kept around to be a bargaining chip still. If not for Deadpool helping us escape, Revenger would've likely figured he was the High Council's doing and it would've provoked him to "Make an example" out of one of us to FORCE them to take their demands seriously and that they won't tolerate that kind of behavior, so-

Dominator: And do you know what the worst part is?! All this trouble to capture all of us, when they could've just tried to use ME as the planet buster and not try to make the people they HATE ANYWAY TO MAKE ONE! Me, not only a former planet-buster, but the only one with any intel on where Void actually was! Hell, if I wanted to, I would've escaped myself and destroyed the Void just to make a point out of those guys!

Bernadette: (After a pause, she frowns) I'm under the impression it's gonna be like THIS with you now, huh? Okay... Let's say you DID destroy the Void. Would you want the consequences you would have to endure? The corruption spreading throughout the United Universes, the villains you'd create, the lives you might ruin?! Would you want that on your conscience?!

Dominator: I wouldn't if I knew what a conscience was, or if I had one.

Bernadette: "(Facepalms) WERE YOU THAT INDOCTRINATED TO YOUR FAMILY'S BUSINESS OF BEING INTER-GALACTIC PLANET DESTROYERS?!"

Dominator: Wouldn't even be a thing if I wasn't. But if I had no other way, YES! YES I WOULD!

Bernadette: You would never destroy the Void if you knew what damage it could do. I'll give the Anti-High Council Movement this, at least they have their priorities straight in wanting the High Council disbanded, despite the way they go about it. I assume they would've sent the HC schematics to make a planet destroying weapon that could potentially do it right and make sure Void goes down with it and not, say, only the planet he's in gets destroyed. But I know for a fact that there's only one malevolent force to blame for that Void nonsense, and it's not the High Council! But would the people who hate the High Council listen? No!

Dominator: Bernadette-

Bernadette: And you don't even have the nerve to do what you plan on doing to destroy the Void!

Dominator: Do I, though?! DO I?! Are we forgetting that I'm basically like Wander Over Yonder's Bigger Bad, so to speak?! I've busted so many worlds that I'm surprised the Galactic Feds didn't try to arrest me!"

Bernadette: "To be fair, they did in the "Tale of Two Merlins" Comic by the SAF people."

Dominator: "THAT'S BEEN DEMOTED TO SOFT CANON CAUSE OF SF AND X GETTING INTO A BAD ENOUGH TISSY AND YOU KNOW IT!"

Bernadette: Look, I don't have time for this. I've got to help Uncle Grandpa with his Ed, Edd n Eddy problem. If you'll excuse me. (She leaves the room)

Dominator: That show hasn't even aged that well, you know! Especially in the last two seasons! Probably won't even be surprised if X plans to temporarily axe it off Kingdom Hearts style or something! (the door is closed) UGH! No wonder nice guys finished last! When was it ever said that good guys don't always fight the bad guys to win!? Isn't that an automatic requirement or something?!

## Chapter 2: She Really Did It...

(Meanwhile, on Void the Living Planet...)

(The present members of the Three Lords Alliance are gathered)

Mr. Boss: "Okay, what's the agenda for the meeting?"

Rottenday: We've got to do something to get all those Skylander Crystals! All we have are the Undead and Fire ones, Doctor Nefarious has the Tech one, and Bernadette and her pals have all the rest!

Plankton: And to make things worse, that stupid sponge formed another adventure team to help things out on his end!

Boogeyman: "Aren't they more focused on this Maw-Goo guy who's currently not involved with us?"

Rottenday: "Yes but we're kinda established enemies to them as is from prior exploits, so don't count on them disappearing just because he'll be dealt with in the future."

Maleficent: It is unfortunate. That means more enemies to battle.

Mandark: "Well at least we still have the Undead and Fire Stones. How's about we take the tech one back from Nefarious? For all his talk of wanting to start his own thing, nothing ever came up of it!"

Rottenday: "Kinda because Scroopfan refused to entertain X's pitch of him posting about stories based on Nefarious establishing his own team due to that it clearly isn't about the SAF Nefarious."

Vilgax: "Grrr, WHY DID YOU EVEN LET THAT CYBERNETIC FOOL HAVE THAT STONE?! WHY CAN'T WE JUST TAKE IT BACK FROM HIM IF HE DID NOTHING WITH IT?!"

Rottenday: To answer your first question, IT WASN'T MY FAULT! I worked with him once, and he betrayed the person he was working for to begin with, and I didn't want to have to go through the same thing! He only stole the Tech Crystal in retaliation, AND when I wasn't looking! Secondly, we don't know if he's actually done anything with the Tech Crystal, so we can't just take it from him! We just need to--

???: TAKE OVER THE WORLD! (a crazy man bursts in, tap-dancing on Rottenday's head)

Crazy Man: TAKE OVER THE WORLD! TAKE OVER THE WORLD! TAKE OVER THE WORLD! TAKE OVER THE WORLD! TAKE OVER THE WORLD! (Zooms around, causing a mess in the briefing room)

Vilgax: "...... (Enraged) Of all the nonsense I am made to cope with?!"

Mr. Boss: "This yutz actually makes me almost tolerate Tolietnator's company."

Rottenday: What the hell was that?! (A much calmer man arrives with another man with blind-man glasses and a woman in a trench coat)

Calm Man: You'll have to excuse him. He's always this excitable.

Rottenday: And you people are? Added to that, HOW DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE, OR VOID FOR THAT MATTER?!

Calm man: To answer how, not that hard to notice the most ridiculously evil looking planet in space.

Rottenday: "(Sighs dejected), Is he that unmistakable? (Void was heard growling annoyed at that comment) OH ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU'RE LITERALLY PLANET EVIL CLICHÉ, VOID!

Calm man: Now for the who... We are the Dark Mind Brothers. (points to his crazy brother) He's Insanity. I'm Dignity.

Rottenday: Dark Mind Brothers, eh?

Ice King: But one of you is a lady.

Dignity: No, Insanity and I are the Dark Mind Brothers, the leaders of the Semblance of Darkness. A group of bounty hunters specializing in dark magic seeking to partake in an alliance with your alliance.

Father: "Then who's the lady?"

Dignity: "The woman is Dark Body. She has the power to use her sex appeal to draw our targets to us for easy capture. If your skeptical of this, that's why she's in a trench coat. She, doesn't have direct control of this effect yet."

Rottenday: Well, what do you do?

Dignity: I have the power to read minds, allowing me to see into my target's psyche and capture them more easily. The man darting his eyes around the room is Dark Eyes. He's our espionage expert; he can see many things and share his sight with the rest of us.

???: What does it matter?

Rottenday: Who said that?

Dignity: Oh, over there. (Points to an emo-looking teen) He has the power to manipulate people with his voice, persuading them to do what we want. He was given the name "Dark Mouth".

Dark Mouth: Yeah, and we're not even supposed to be here!

Dark Body: Hey, come on, that's not true!

Dark Mouth: Yes, it is! People are always confusing us for disciples of the Void, which reminds us how broken the United Universes really is!

Insanity: The critics are always getting involved where they don't belong!

Dignity: "And don't let their words get to you. Associating with Rottenday doesn't mean we have to worship the accursed ground of this planet. (Void growled even more annoyed)

Rottenday: "YOU KINDA HAVE YOUR OWN REPUTATION TO BLAME FOR THAT?!"

Dark Mouth: "They're not gonna care if we're just doing a job for only Rottenday, he associated with Void first, so it counts!"

Dignity: "(Sighs)... As you can tell, Dark Mouth's been getting very depressed and socially insecure as of late."

Father: "Have ya tried taking that kid to therapy?"

Dignity: "Believe me, we tried. But we found that the less depressed he is, the more ineffective his powers, thus this makes finding a therapist unideal, else if we did cure his depression, that effects his job as a bounty hunter in this group. Alas, if he's not depressed, his powers won't work. An unsightly drawback, we're aware. If we could find a way to work around it, we would."

Rottenday: That's, as depressing as he is... Well, what about Insanity? What sort of power does HE have?

Dignity: He mostly just annoys people into going temporarily insane. Or go into a fit of rage, like with your alien friend there. (Vilgax was getting angrier) He also has an innate ability to detect and emulate the usual cliche villains tripe.

Rottenday: Cliche villains?

Dignity: Oh, you know. Greed mongers, doomsday villains, villain wannabes, laughably evil ones, the top hat and exaggerated handlebar moustache types, people like that. Your "Dr. Nefarious" friend sounds like one of those, eccentric parodies of old silver age comic book villains' kind of villain.

Rottenday: "Yeah, Nefarious is obviously of a very retro kind of evil."

Dignity: "In fact, you have a lot of villains that are more or less clichés themselves that it further added in finding this place."

Father: "HEY! (FLAMES ON ABIT) SOME OF US ARE MORE NUANCED THAN THAT!"

Rottenday: "(Gets an idea) Hold the phone... I think you guys can help us get the Tech crystal back from Nefarious without any of us having to face him ourselves! Tell you want, you guys can expect a partnership with your "Semblance of Darkness" if you get the Tech crystal back from Nefarious before he ends up doing something irreversibly typical of him with it and risks it in the PTE's possession!"

Dignity: "Not a bad suggestion, but there's a guarantee that it would happen either way, so, better yet, why limit ourselves to just him, when we could also try to take that AND the other crystals from your hero problem?"

Rottenday: "...... Holy cow, I can't believe I never considered that! That's an even better idea and avoids a failure that makes a bad example out of you guys!"

Void's Voice: "Though it shows you are losing your edge, Rodney!"

Rottenday: "DON'T START WITH ME VOID?! (Sighs)..... As you may have noticed, me and Void have been in uneasy terms as of late."

Insanity: "Well ya did sort of waste his time with a vacation and only started a villain team after your hero enemy got to be out of prison-"

Rottenday: "THANK YOU, I've been already reminded of that from him DAILY, to the point of redundancy, thank you very much!"

Dignity: Well, then... do we have a deal?

Rottenday: Yes, we have a deal.

Dignity: Excellent. I'll be right back with our affidavit. (Leaves the room)

Dark Eyes: Uh, you guys know you've got a gigantic spaceship heading towards this place, right?

Rottenday: What?! (He looks outside, only to see Dominator's ship slowly hovering towards Void until she's right over him)... Oh no, I know that ship.

Dignity: (returns with a contract) Just sign here, Mr. Castor, and we can begin our new partnership- (Notices Rottenday's concerned face) I'd ask what the problem is, but I have a feeling we're going to find out.

Dominator's voice: Roddy, I'm home! Didja miss me?

Rottenday: "To be honest, you're in a bit of an area where you're wasted potential because of your unruly tendencies and that you LITERALLY SIDED with Bernadette! Any positive interaction is rather tainted now!"

Plankton: "In other words YOU'RE A DOUBLE CROSSER, SO NO! NOBODY MISSED YOU!"

Dignity: "I, can't help but to feel we're missing some context here."

Dominator's voice: Oh, don't flatter yourselves. I'm not here to go back to the Alliance.

Rottenday: (Roles eyes) Ugh, figure as much as is... Then why are you here?

Dominator's voice: I'm here to lay off a little stress because the PTE had a little run-in with a High Council hate group that tried to use them as a bargaining chip to get a planet busting weapon, IGNORING THAT I AM A WALKING PLANET BUSTER!

Rottenday: "To be fair, would Bernadette LET YOU do that if this group DID go that route?! (Silence)..... I thought not."

Dominator: BESIDES THE POINT, RODNEY?! And now I have to finish what they were going to start... (armored voice) **Destroying the Void forever!** (she activates her drill and aims at Void)

Rottenday: "(Sighs), Good to note that at least it wasn't us just having to cope with unruliness. Funny to note Bernadette struggles with that too. Okay Ruers, get to work to defend the planet. (The Ruers don't respond)... Ruers? Ruers!? RUERS?!...... Void, what's wrong with the Ruers?!"

Void: "(Sounding more sinister) Oh, intervention's not necessary... Let Dominator prove her wasted potential to these High Council haters."

Rottenday: "(Bewildered), ARE YOU INSANE?! ARE YOU THIS DISGRUNTLED ABOUT HOW THE WAR'S BEEN HANDLED THAT YOU'RE LETTING HER JUST- (The Drill's getting closer)..... (Wimpily) Yup, yup you are."

Vilgax: "...... MY SHIP, NOW?! (The villains all retreated to that as the Semblance got to their own ship deciding to take a rain check on getting with Rottenday for now as Vilgax's ship escaped the Planet Void; as soon as they did, the drill hits the planet, but instead of shriveling up, the planetary shell explodes, and Void is released)

Void: Yes... yes... I am free from the confines of my planet! Now begins my new conquest-

Sergeant: All right, listen up, you little radish munchers! This sequence is about to become way too catastrophic and intense to show our more sensitive viewers, so instead, I will show you this soothing image until it's all over.

(Insert whatever soothing image you can up with)

Sergeant: Sweet mother of Kingdom Hearts, you should see this! Darkness and planetary debris swarming through space like fire ants eating a frog! Whew! It appears to be over. Let's go back to the- (Void is shown ravaging through the Ducktales world) Whoa! (cut back to the footage) That was entirely my bad! I misread the signals. I knew a guy named Joe. He misread the signals in a combat situation. Now he eats everything through a mechanical straw. Wait... the carnage is over. Carry on.

(The United Universe are seen as the Void disintegrates)

Void: I always knew I would be done in by Excalibur... (he vanishes forever)

Dominator: (She wakes up in her ship, slightly disoriented, and looks over a peaceful-looking United Universes) I... I did it... I can't believe it. I... we're free! Free of the Void forever! And look! No comeuppance! Not one that I can see! So can't wait to brag this into Bern's face! She's gonna realize how wrong she was and totally see that I did it!

## Chapter 3: What She's Done...

(At the Prophet's Palace...)

Dominator: I'm back! Did you miss me? (She sees that the Palace is completely abandoned) Huh? Bern? Powerpuffs? Jack? Stevester? Purple weird cat, beaver thing named after a dish? Somebody! Anybody?! (beat) WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?!...... Okay, I'm being ghosted now, great. HEY JEEVES, WAKE UP! (Virgil activates)

Virgil: Welcome to the amazing, the supreme castle of-- (he sees that it's Dominator) Oh, it's you. And my name's not Jeeves. It's Virgil.

Dominator: Same thing! You're pretty much a glorified holographic butler anyway!

Virgil: That doesn't mean my name is automatically "Jeeves" as it were. This being said, if you're looking for the Punch Time Exploders, they all left for their home worlds after the Void was unleashed and vanquished.

Dominator: I'm sorry, what?

Virgil: Well... Not all of them. In fact, Mistress Bernadette would like to talk to you right... About...

???: DOMINATOR!

Virgil: Now.

Dominator: "Okay, not the reaction I'm expecting here."

(In the captain's quarters, Dominator is confronted by Bernadette and Queen Bernadette, both looking very unhappy)

Dominator: "Hey, Bern, and... Bern of the future with a Sumo-sized Mom Bod! How's it hanging? Hey, guess what, I creamed Void for ya!"

Bernadette: "THE PHYSICAL PLANET MAYBE, BUT WITHOUT THE PROPER TOOLS, NOT SO MUCH VOID IN HIS TRUER SELF!"

Dominator: Huh? (realizes) Oh, that explains why the planet didn't shrivel up and die.

Bernadette: It's a good thing various powerful magic sources were able to hold it back on certain worlds, and the Quest for Camelot Excalibur was used in the nick of time! Consider yourself lucky that there were minimal corruptions and casualties.

Dominator: "Wasn't Void already causing that for just existing?!"

Queen Bernadette: "(Sighs) To an extent, yes, BUT, the truer force of the Void was limited being "The Living Planet" in that Void wasn't in control of these powers! Without the planet, which you destroyed, Void was in more control without being restricted by his imprisonment! THAT'S why the High Council never acted on destroying Void... Even for all the warts their reputation suffered because of the stagnated version of what Void was capable of."

Dominator: "..... WELL, WHY DIDN'T THE COUNCIL JUST EXPLAIN THAT?!"

Bernadette: "YOU DON'T THINK THEY TRIED?! It's just that because the corruption happens regardless, even in the more limited scope depending on where the planet goes, people were just being pissy about the problem even being there at all, as opposed to how bad Void could really be WITHOUT his planetary imprisonment!"

Dominator: "..... Is, that why Future You's here now?"

Queen Bernadette: To an extent. I came because, well, I'm Bernadette's future self, and it's only a matter of time before the Time Lords find out about this and force me to help correct this!

Dominator: Oh, come on! It couldn't have been THAT bad.

Bernadette: Couldn't have been that bad?! COULDN'T HAVE BEEN THAT BAD?!

Queen Bernadette: No, wait. This could provide an opportunity to see what horrors Void had wrought before it gets cancelled out.

Bernadette: Queenie!

Queen Bernadette: "Bernadette, remember that this is Dominator we're talking about. She's clearly still not good at listening to people. This IS the same issue that got her kicked out of the Lords Alliance after all!

Dominator: I'm standing right here, you know! And that's not the only reason I quit the Alliance! They want seven hearts of pure light from seven girls! I may have been a planet busting bully in the past, but I draw the line at actually killing people!

Bernadette: "..... Dom, they don't want their PHYSICAL Hearts, and technically they don't want to "Kill" them. It's more like they're after the power of their pure hearts in the sense of the soul for, likely something involving Kingdom Hearts."

Dominator: ".... Oh... WELL, IT'S STILL SCREWED UP IN THE HEAD!"

Queen Bernadette: The point being... I feel like she might understand a physical demonstration better.

Bernadette: ".... (Sighs), I see your point. BUT this IS gonna be fixed later after, right?"

Queen Bernadette: "Oh believe me, when Superiora gets the correct paperwork done, it WILL be fixed! But there is likely gonna be a period where this will remain until the diverging process starts.

### The History Lesson with Lord Dominator, Part 1

Queen Bernadette: Okay, Dominator, I'll use my time lord powers to give you a vision of what happened, but be warned. You may not like what you're about to see.

Dominator: So, we're cliff-noteing this and not phyically going to those worlds?

Bernadette: "You're likely the last person the others want to see right now....... That and Neither X and even SF are passionate enough to do something more SAF-Eqsed and dedicate the episode to expansive lore, so like the episode is something that has to be wrapped up immediately."

Dominator: Tch, fair enough. Fair warning, despair and misery kinda used to be like PB'N'J to me, it's just something I'm used to even reformed. So, bring it on. (Queen Bernadette gives her a vision)

Queen Bernadette: On Chowder's world, the Void ravaged most of the land, and many background characters there perished, and the chefs there can barely afford to feed those that did survive, including themselves. Even the man holding up Marzipan City barely survived.

Dominator: Wow... Kinda had to question the logic of that world as is.

Bernadette: "Chowder's show is amongst the most wacky and unserious shows to be fair, a lot of its lore is based on continuity from previous jokes."

Queen Bernadette: Ben Tennyson came back to his world as soon as he felt the presence of the Void. As soon as he came home, he went Alien X and used his power to protect his world entirely from corruption. Unfortunately, he's been stuck as Alien X since that day, fighting the corruption from within.

Dominator: But otherwise, they're fine, right?

Queen Bernadette: Well, as fine he can be now being stuck in Alien X.

Dominator: "Would, that mean I have it bad with the Tennysons now?"

Bernadette: "I'd think you'd prefer that remains to be said, Dom."

Queen Bernadette: Quite. But as Flapjack's world's corruption was washed with the tides, Stormalong Harbor was destroyed in the torrent and its citizens were scattered among the various islands, making Flapjack very upset. Worse, K'nuckles drowned himself when he thought Candied Island was lost forever in the carnage.

Dominator: Ohhhhh. That really sounds like I'm not gonna be in good terms with the whale anymore.

Bernadette: "Tch, you would NOT wanna know what Bubbie had to say about you when she heard about this being YOUR fault!"

Queen Bernadette: The Kids Next Door had tried their best, but they couldn't entirely fight it off, especially Nigel Uno, who fully succumbed to the evil genes inside him and became the eternal child villain known as... Son!

Dominator: "..... Okay, unoriginal much? That's OBVIOUSLY ripping off Father's shtick?!"

Bernadette: "To be fair, an earlier adventure showed an awkward truth that Father is the brother of his dad, of whom was once a legendary KND operative that defeated Grandfather, so, it kinda runs in the family, unfortunately."

Queen Bernadette: The city of Townsville was damaged beyond repair and despite the Powerpuffs' best efforts, they can never bring it back.

Dominator: "So basically like that one episode where they went to a future where Him wrecked everything and took over?"

Bernadette: "But even more distressing somehow. And yes, their rogue's gallery has been having a field day ever since!"

Dominator: "Well surely Mac and Bloo's world can't be in any worse for wear! That's always been one of the more ultra-lighthearted shows!"

Queen Bernadette: Void didn't care about that.... He came there and cause trouble when his influence infected the Imaginary Monsters of Teenagers. Many imaginary friends were lost, with Foster's as the only salvation. (Dominator just stared in silence)

Bernadette: "So yeah, even the harmless shows' worlds were not lucky...."

Dominator: "....... Dexter?"

Queen Bernadette: After the Void's attack, Dexter had no choice but to reveal his secret lab to the world, and went right to work restoring everything to its former glory, bringing his dream of Dextopia into the 21st century, while always keeping Dee Dee in check.

Dominator: Oh hey, at least things worked out for him- Wait... Dee Dee's STILL in one piece?

Queen Bernadette: Yes!

Dominator: "..... Don't ever tell them I said this, but, I kinda figure that Dee Dee would be like one of the team members that goes out like a punk."

Bernadette: "Yeah, she actually went through a lot worse back in Dexter's show's heyday."

Queen Bernadette: Moving on. Billy and Mandy's world was basically doomed, and Grim wasted most of his energy bringing everyone, except Billy and Mandy, back from the dead.

Dominator: "Well hey, didn't he say he hated being their servant? So he's free now."

Bernadette: "It's more like he hated how he was treated by Mandy, mostly.... And how sometimes Billy is an utter headache... In truth, he actually secretly likes to be around those two in coming from a prior existence of, not always having a great hold on friends. Fickle as their relationship was, Grim not being able to save them was, hard on him.... Their souls were the hardest ones he had to put to rest."

Dominator: "..... Even with the future of Mandy becoming an evil slug overlord and usurper of humanity in mind in that one episode?"

Queen Bernadette: "We're working on that, AND that future where Fred Fredburger of all beings ended up becoming the new usurping overlord with Horror's Hand as the result of time travel shenanigans when it was originally Boogie."

Bernadette: "And it's why I have to be so strict on Mandy about that kind of mindset, EPESCIALLY after how she handled Henrietta and Bobbi!"

Dominator: "Well, Jack of all of us had to make it out for the better?! He's the dude with the sword that can hurt Aku, who I think is like, the Son of Void, or like, A Void cause of that one origin revealed episode?"

Queen Bernadette: Samurai Jack nearly died using his sword to defend his world and Ashi perished as Aku did.

Dominator: "REALLY?!... Is the Casanova Wanna-be Okay at the least?"

Queen Bernadette: Johnny Bravo couldn't do anything to save his world, although it survived. He was so demoralized he gave up chasing girls. The ironic thing is he doesn't know that girls started giving him the time of day after the whole thing blew over.

Dominator: "...... Wow. That dude just CANNOT win?!"

Bernadette: "Yeah his show was from the era where it was considered funny to always have stupid things happening to your protagonist. Kinda the nature of his world, sadly."

Queen Bernadette: The Void's attack wiped out the Planeteers' enemies, and everyone came together to save their world from pollution.

Dominator: "Wait, that's ironically the best-case scenario, because you'd think Void would've instead make the over-the-top exaggeratedly evil baddies make the planet even cruddier."

Bernadette: "That's the thing... Void only tolerated Rodney and the Lords Alliance because he was limited to being a rogue living planet. But in being free, he doesn't exactly have his already waning patience on whoever falls into his corruption anymore. That and, he didn't think very highly of the Planeteer's Rogues Gallery, overtly representing environmental and wildlife and other issues of any society. Kinda why they're not included in the Lord's Alliance thus far, cause Void felt like they weren't corrupted "Correctly", that they only serve a ridiculously evil goal as opposed to him specifically."

Dominator: "But otherwise, it was for the best and, ergo the Planeteers don't have it out for me?"

Queen Bernadette: "I didn't say the battle ended, cleanly. Captain Planet had to enter an intense fight and the Planeteer's earth did got scarred in the fight. And that's not even the half of it."

Dominator: You mean there's more?!

Bernadette: Believe me, there's MUCH more.

Dominator: "Oyyy, don't I think I got enough of a gist of how much of a screw up this stunt was?"

Bernadette: "Dom, we'd only scatched the surface. It gets uglier then THAT."

### The History Lesson with Lord Dominator, Part 2

Queen Bernadette: Uncle Grandpa has been running himself ragged helping everyone in his world. He even confided in us saying he lost all respect for you, Dominator.

Dominator: Great... Ya know this is a crappy timeline if even the overtly happy Patrick-Sounding over-selled unfavorite attempted push of Modern CN to make look like the bee's knees, of which they're doing now to the WORST Versions of the Teen Titans-

Bernadette: "UPUPUP, I know this is CLEARLY being written by Scroopfan, but please don't say something that riles up haters AND actual possible fans of that version speaking like that?! I mean sure, say what you will about how over-advertised Uncle Grandpa was, he's self-aware and acknowledges that."

Dominator: "Point being, ya know things are bad if I even have someone like HIM hating my guts!"

Queen Bernadette: Clarence's world was left virtually unscathed, although the people of Aberdale are living their lives similar to the Y2K episode of Family Guy, Void version.

Dominator: "Lucky them, they could've had it worst."

Bernadette: "Oh trust me, Clarence and his friends don't share your optimism."

Queen Bernadette: All of Gemkind did their best to defend their universe from the Void, and there are only a few of them left, Diamonds and Crystal Gems included. Steven, it seems, is suffering the most about this.

Dominator: "..... I'd want to say that this is a long time coming for the gems given they caused genocide on alien worlds worse than the Irkens and my family business ever did, from being mouth pieced by someone not into Steven Universe, but I feel like I won't be able to get away with that on an episode co-written by someone who does."

Bernadette: "Smart for us both to avoid another drama-fest."

Queen Bernadette: Gumball's world turned out to be not so amazing after Void. Though the people of Elmore are rebuilding, it would take them a while to readjust.

Dominator: "Wait, don't they have that staticky sub-dimension that resets everything after a disaster happens?"

Bernadette: Their Void is much different from the UU Void. Their world's mistakes all end up there. And I should know, I visited that place once. And even then, it's not always reliable to reset continuity pre-disaster anyway, especially not with something like the UU's Void.

Queen Bernadette: The land of Ooo would have suffered the most if not for the powerful magics that they possessed.

Dominator: "I mean, that place is already a post-apocalyptic mess anyway cause of a lich of all things, I can't imagine how much more Void's gonna do with it."

Queen Bernadette: Pops had to give himself up to save the Regular Show world from the Void.

Dominator: "Yikes, LITERALLY LIKE IN THE CANON SHOW MUCH?!"

Queen Bernadette: "And believe me, Superiora is VERY annoyed with you for compromising her work preventing him from doing that with his evil brother... Which I'll say that unlike the SAF Counterpart is not of the Erasers."

Dominator: "The Erasure say what?"

Queen Bernadette: That's a story for another day.

Bernadette: And guess what? That's only the Cartoon Network universe.

Dominator: Oh, no... What did that angry cosmic evil factory do NOW?!

### The History Lesson with Lord Dominator, Part 3

Queen Bernadette: The world of Oliver and Company suffered a tragedy not unlike 9/11, but worse.

Dominator: "..... No comment, I feel like what Void did here is beyond in bad taste."

Queen Bernadette: Dwarf Woodlands, Enchanted Dominion, and Castle of Dreams were lucky to be untouched by Void's wrath, because of Snow White, Aurora and Cinderella's Princess of Heart status.

Dominator: "Okay good."

Queen Bernadette: Mystery Inc. couldn't fathom the void and was sadly lost.

Dominator: "Wait, isn't their world known to sometimes have actual real monsters?"

Bernadette: "That varies from version to version, and bear in mind the movie we did a crossover on is the first live action one, yet we treated it like the cartoons, strangely enough."

Queen Bernadette: Lilo had nearly lost her ohana, despite the Galactic Federation's best efforts. Nani was one of the more brutal casualties, and may not make it.

Dominator: "(Felt like being punched) OHHHH?! Okay, okay... THAT ONE, left a bad taste in my mouth and made me felt like I got punched by something invisible."

Queen Bernadette: The Land Before Time became more of a wasteland outside the Great Valley.

Dominator: "Yeesh, even in this reality those dinos keep getting lucky and would STILL be the subject of a crud ton of sequels!"

Queen Bernadette: Duckburg was hit by the worst Void hurricane, but everyone survived.

Dominator: "Not gonna lie, that's just extreme dumb luck."

Bernadette: "The power of being a media company mascot or adjacent. Fate often seems to really favor mascot characters surviving hardships like that."

Queen Bernadette: Merlin tried his best, but he had to escape to the future to avoid his death, but when he came back, the world was mostly untouched, thanks to its Excalibur being pulled, which served as the inspiration for Camelot's.

Dominator: "I feel like that's a spoiler alert there."

Queen Bernadette: The 101 Dalmatians were nearly wiped out and Roger had to move back to the city and give up song writing to get paid for helping fix up London.

Dominator: "That is somehow worse for those pups then being made into fur coats."

Queen Bernadette: Dr. Facilier's Friends from the Other Side benefitted from the attack and harvested all the souls there... including Tiana and Naveen.

Bernadette: "And Dom, don't even think about making a joke about eating anything in Louisiana being spicy CAUSE SOULS DON'T WORK THE SAME WAY?!"

Dominator: Yikes, noted, Bern... Also, for concerned clarity... Was Tiana one of the seven pure hearts?

Bernadette: No.

Dominator: Oh... It still sucks for them.

Queen Bernadette: After Shrek's world was protected, everyone is trying to live happily ever after as best they can.

Dominator: Shrek... My outcast friend...

Queen Bernadette: Thanks to the Elements of Harmony, Equestria is unharmed.

Dominator: Oh, thank Grop! But also, I'm not surprised, they did the same to literally Luna during her extreme goth phase, so like, no duh that remained unharmed.

Queen Bernadette: The Nickelodeon worlds got off easy, because when the Void was vanquished, so was the Mawgu, and the energy he was stealing all went back to their respective worlds.

Dominator: "Wow, good for them, though I guess that kinda kiboshes the prophecy Spongebob and the others are meant to do."

Bernadette: "Yeah but even then, this is gonna be diverged, so, not forever obviously."

Queen Bernadette: Void managed to do what Nefarious wanted and destroyed Umbris and the galaxy Ratchet lived.

Dominator: "Well, not like the reboot series for Ratchet and Clank was going anywhere anyway- (Bernadette had a stern look) Duh, but, terrible all the same."

Queen Bernadette: The world of the Lorax had barely begun to flourish, but it seems like they were better off when O'hare wanted to control Thneedville.

Dominator: "I, feel mixed on that."

Queen Bernadette: The world where Laputa was avoided the corruption thanks to a new 0-Brave apprentice.

Dominator: "Wait, a 0-Whaty what?"

Bernadette: "It's a bit of a thing you'll have to check on with SAF lore, it'd be too long to explain it here."

Queen Bernadette: The corruption was too much for the Dragons, and they went right back to feuding with the Vikings.

Dominator: "Oh no, Bern, FIRESHIELD! PLEASE TELL ME SHE'S OKAY!"

Bernadette: "...... It, might be best you don't know what happened to her."

Queen Bernadette: The world of Ice Age grew ever darker and colder.

Dominator: "That, doesn't sound survivable."

Bernadette: "Believe me, it won't be. That's an extinction event level ice age, even animals that evolved with it might not cope."

Queen Bernadette: The movie business has all but been cancelled as a result of the Void's troublesome destruction.

Dominator: "Okay that's a strangely one of Void's lamer crimes-"

Queen Bernadette: "-And caused people and animals to not believe in dreams anymore."

Dominator: "Okay, still lame but it is now sad as well."

Queen Bernadette: Most of the Atlantis world wasn't prepared, the only source of salvation being Atlantis itself.

Dominator: "Well DUH they have a giant life-force flying crystal thing with faces of dead rulers on it!"

Queen Bernadette: The jungle became even more dangerous than before.

Dominator: "That's strangely anti-climactic of Void to do-"

Bernadette: "All animals began to actively attack human villages!"

Dominator: "(Uneased but also frustrated to a point now) Okay, a bit more up Void's alley."

Queen Bernadette: And that was only-

Dominator: (Dubbed as Plankton) ALL RIGHT, I GET IT! (Frustrated breaths) I think, we cliff-noted this, for long, enough!

### The History Lesson with Lord Dominator, Learned

Dominator: Bernadettes... I had no idea...

Bernadette: NOW do you get it? When you went behind my back and tried to destroy the Void, it caused a chain reaction that caused everything to become relatively worse for everyone!

Queen Bernadette: And now, as a final act of goodness before the High Council disbands, possibly for good, they feel a need to pass judgment on you!

Dominator: Oh, man... who knows what they're gonna do to me? Wait, if we're getting Divergent-ized, or whatever, what point would there be to even punish me?

Bernadette: "Because Diverged Timelines tend to loop, and more often than not, not many people would even know they're in one cause memories of events reset with it."

Dominator: "...... (Uneasy) Is the trial at least gonna be very chill?"

Queen Bernadette: Let's hope so.

(At the Mysterious Tower...)

Yen Sid: This uneasy peace within the United Universes is a direct result of your failure to perform your duty member of the Punch Time Exploders. It also counts as a relapse on your part as a reformed villain.

Hector: "And this ALL happened, because you got MAD THOSE MOVEMENT JERKS DIDN'T MAKE YOU THEIR FIRST PICK!"

Celestia: "Surely you realized that even if they did, Bernadette won't let you do such."

Merlin: "Along that those naysayers surely would've been able to consider that our caution of refusing to destroy Void isn't out of implied "COMPLETE COWARDICE" and potentially would've wanted to issue the creation of a weapon capable to destroy Void at BOTH forms! Your weaponry lacked the capacity to harm Void BEYOND the bloody planet?!"

Dominator: "Can I at least say that, at least no more Void?"

Princess Bubblegum: "NOT WITHOUT A PRICE, YOU BUTT!"

Baron: "And even then, this will be diverged out of the main timeline so that small victory is a moot gesture. And Superiora would see that you are never able to do this again. If Void is to be cleansed from our universe, the right pieces need to be in place."

Dominator: "Well, that doesn't explain what happened to Rodney and pals-"

Celestia: To answer that, the Three Lords Alliance is broken up and Rottenday is working alone as a Darkspawn Lord.

Dominator: "Yeeeeesh, this whole thing is even a worst-case scenario for Rodney, cause HE'S AFRAID OF BECOMING THAT?!"

Yen Sid: Indeed, people of both sides of good and evil have been harmed by Void's rampage. Your actions indeed proved what a true danger he was. Now, if you will excuse me, we shall discuss your sentencing.

Dominator: "Why am I getting the strong feeling it will be very intense?"

Princess Bubblegum: Well, since both Incarcecon 2.0 and Tricorn-Katras were destroyed in the Void rampage, which before you asked, YES, THE SENATOR AND COMISSIONER QUIDILEN ARE MAD LIVID WITH US ON THAT, we'll have to allow the Galactic Federation to keep you in their custody until a suitable prison can be found.

Merlin: May the One Who Is Above All have mercy on your soul...

Dominator: Oh, man... If this is a nightmare, now would be a good time to wake up!

**SIMULATION OVER**

## Epilogue: ...Didn't Really Happen

(In the lab, Bernadette walks in)

Bernadette: Hey, Dominator, are you in here? We gotta go after those other Skylander crystals- (she sees that Dominator is strapped to a simulation chair) What the hell are you doing?

Dominator: Oh, hey, Bern. (she gets out of the simulation chair) Do you remember our little chat after our escapade with the Anti-High Council Movement?

Bernadette: Yeah?

Dominator: Well, I was kind of insulted that they wanted to destroy the Void when the PTE had an actual planet buster, and you said I didn’t have it in me to actually do it. So while you were gone, I had Dexter run a simulation to see how going rogue and trying to destroy the Void would play out for us.

Bernadette: Oh? How did that go over?

Dominator: Not well, Bernadette. Not, well. Guess we’ll just have to trust what that Greylander Prophecy says and use the real Excalibur to destroy the Void... somehow.

Bernadette: So, what you're saying is that what you experienced in the simulation didn't really happen, or even matter?

Dominator: Yep, that’s about right.

Bernadette: So, it was sorta like a dream sequence?

Dominator: No, it was a simulation. Dexter said so.

Bernadette: Yeah, but, theoretically, if someone read the events of that simulation from start to finish, only to find out that none of it really happened... don’t you think that would be just like a giant middle finger to them?

Dominator: Well, hopefully, they would have thought it was awesome.

Bernadette: I don't know, buddy. I think you'd piss a lot of people off that way.

Dominator: Well, at least it didn't end like that SAF episode where the heroes cut the adventure short in the middle of the final battle just because the villain made a wisecrack about the creators!

Bernadette: You mean the Viral Vi-Tor episode where he first comes back? Yeah that is one of the less climatically satisfying episodes. Okay, then. So... What are you gonna do with the footage?

Dominator: I'll play it back to those nuisances in case they get any ideas of attacking the High Council again for not getting rid of the Void. Maybe this will get the crybabies to CHILL it about not getting rid of Void the way they wanted.

Bernadette: "Well since it's a simulation one would argue that it's based on speculation, so-"

Dominator: "Then I'll show it to someone who everyone will listen to it the most about it: That duke guy who shows up on rare moments when we need it most. That guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about."

Bernadette: You mean the Baron? That could work; he is the lawyer.

Dominator: Oh, incidentally, if the events of the simulation ended up being an alternate timeline...

Bernadette: Don't worry. If they were, they would most likely be diverged right away.

Dominator: Good. The simulation said so itself, just, wanted assured clarity.

Bernadette: (sees a laptop on Scroopfan/arthunter3's deviantart page) Hey, what's going on over there?

Dominator: Oh, our producer wanted to see how an alternate SAF universe would react in the same situation. (They read the story)..... He was practically there for 5 minutes. Didn't even try to figure out how to ruin everything. Guess Garnet was onto something about how well balanced the SAF side of things are.

Bernadette: Kinda the benefit of being a Multiverse WITH Outers, warts and all about, certain problematic aspects of it. You tend to have just right amount of people that any problem just gets sorted out. Good thing X watches the deviantart page, or he wouldn't have seen it.

Dominator: So, what's next?

Bernadette: Well, Big Sis delivered the Life Elemental Skylander Crystal to me, so all that's left is to find and retrieve the Tech, Undead and Fire ones, then we'll be all set.

Dominator: "Oh, by the way, big warning on that. The Simulation showed me that Rodney was meeting up a bunch of really shady bounty hunters that offered him to help with getting the crystals back. Though I don't know if that's just the Simulation making up OCs or what."

Bernadette: "Well I believe Dexter's Machine may have accessed the Palace's Villain Database. From what you said, it sounded like the Semblance of Darkness. If Rottenday buddied up with them, then I think we'll have to be careful getting the rest of the crystals WHILE keeping the ones we have safe."

Dominator: You got it, buddy. (Steven bursts into the lab)

Bernadette: Steven?

Steven: Uh, guys? The Diamonds are here, and they have some news to share with us.

Fin...?
