The Cosmic Machine

## Act 1

After the events of the Metallic Replacement, Mecha404 sought a new power source, feeling overpowered in his NEO form. He began his research within Realities 5 and 7, the closest and most accessible. In Reality 5, he discovered a new power source but found it weaker than the Mainframe energy he possessed. Transforming into NEO upon exiting Reality, he proceeded to Reality 7, where he found another power source within an Infinisphere. However, it too proved weaker than the Mainframe energy. Undeterred, Mecha404 then ventured into Reality 6, keeping a watchful eye on the Multiverses in his collection. Meanwhile, Error returned from the mission assigned by Mecha404.

"I couldn't find that virus guy you mentioned," Error reported.

"I already knew," Mecha404 responded.

"How ?" inquired Error.

"I was keeping an eye on you," Mecha404 admitted.

Continuing, Mecha404 explained :

"Whilst I was searching for another power source, I was also monitoring your progress."

Curious, Error asked :

"Did you find any ?"

"Yes, I did. However, those were weaker than the Mainframe. The first one was multiple orange spheres with red star symbols on them. The second one was also multiple, consisting of multicolored crystals," Mecha404 shared, recalling the Transvoid and the Cosmic Essence within them.

"I'll be back," declared Mecha404, transforming into NEO before departing from this Reality.

He traveled to the Transvoid and entered a Universe that nearly killed him due to the Superdimensional differences. Despite the threat, he survived by immediately killing a creature and absorbing its unstable Cosmic Essence. Moving on, he jumped from planet to planet, collecting the Cosmic Essence of various creatures and storing it in a container. During his journey, he encountered a large, white entity with horn-like protrusions as part of its body, featuring black teeth. The entity wreaked havoc, destroying the planet they were on. NEO retaliated by firing rays from his wings, injuring the giant being. The entity blitzed toward NEO, who responded by using hellfires to burn it. Seizing an opportunity, NEO got behind the entity and unleashed an explosive ability akin to a big bang, ultimately killing it. NEO stored the Cosmic Essence but, due to Superdimensional and dimensional differences, could only teleport the container. As he returned, he noticed lightning, and suddenly, someone punched him, sending him crashing into a star that burned his Outer-Armor. Despite the impact, he remained standing.

"So you're the blur I saw," remarked Orion, grabbing NEO's head and hurling it into a solar system. NEO retaliated by summoning various blasters from Reality 6 and firing them at Orion, but to no effect. Undeterred, NEO manifested black hands that tore through the zero-Superdimensional space, delivering a punch to Orion. As a chaotic array of spears formed from the Reality 6 chaos, they shredded Orion's body. Orion countered with incredible speed, blitzing NEO, burning him with flames, and delivering a powerful punch. NEO's head cracked, revealing a broken visor, and his insides were exposed, featuring two blue, eye-like sensors.

Orion swiftly launched a Thunderbolt, surpassing even his own speed, almost fatally injuring NEO. In response, NEO executed a special attack, maneuvering behind Orion and sending him hurtling through space. Focusing all the energy within his body to a singular point on his chest, NEO unleashed a beam that distorted the zero-Superdimensional space and the solar system. Seizing this opportunity, NEO escaped and traveled to Reality 6.

Once there, he utilized nanobots to repair his damaged body and prepared for the infusion of Cosmic Essence. Injecting himself with the essence, NEO gained powers beyond his comprehension. Whilst he lost his Mainframe energy, his NEO transformation remained intact and was now fueled by the potent Cosmic Essence. At this moment, The End emerged.

"So, you managed to obtain Cosmic Essence," taunted The End, his words carrying a mocking tone. Mecha404, filled with terror at The End's survival from the Transvoid entity, couldn't shake off the fear.

"Don't give me that look ; I'm not here to *end* you," The End chuckled, finding amusement in Mecha404's unease.

"I'll take my leave ; you pissed your pants," he added, disappearing from existence, laughter echoing in the void.

## Act 2

Whilst Mecha404 observed the Multiverses, he received a message from Error about Jack. Responding swiftly, Mecha404 traversed an infinite expanse of Multiverses in no time at all. There, he witnessed Jack injecting himself with Cosmic Essence.

"WHAT THE FUCK !" Mecha404 exclaimed

"I used my fucking last form to enter the Transvoid, fought for the Cosmic Essence, nearly died for it, and HE IS GETTING IT LIKE IT'S GROWING ON TREES ?!" Mecha404 continued to express his frustration.

"Heya," Jack casually appeared behind Mecha404.

"You mad because someone called The End gave me Cosmic Essence," said Jack. Mecha404 was trying to delete the anger emotion from his system, but with the sheer amount of it, he wouldn't be able to do it. Then, for trolling, Jack casually exploded the whole Multiverse they were in. Mecha404 immediately transformed into Mecha666 and started fighting with Jack, who transformed into Omega. Both Omega and Mecha666 clashed, shaking all of Reality. Mecha666 summoned Alpha-Saber, a sword copied from Fatal404's arsenal, but Omega used his blade-like wings to destroy it. Every single hit was shaking the Reality. Then black cables extended from Mecha666's back, trapping Omega in a void of pure nothingness. Omega used his blade-like wings to somehow cut through the nonexistence of the void. Omega then fired rays from one of his eyes, which Mecha666 dodged. Omega summoned chains that cut through Mecha666.

"You see, I also took more Cosmic Essence than you which means I'm also stronger," said Omega. Then Mecha666 opened his rib cage and fired a blast that transformed Omega back into Virus404 and stunned him. Mecha666 then regenerated his limbs and sent him flying.

Mecha404 needed more Cosmic Essence, feeling overpowered by Jack. He transformed into his NEO transformation at full power, causing the destruction of Reality with his mere presence. He then reverted to his base transformation, used the soul, and transformed into Mecha666 before heading to the Transvoid. After leaving this Reality, he transformed back into NEO, causing all nine Realities to shake. Entering the Transvoid with ease this time, he made himself undetectable and invisible, searching through the Universes of Transvoid until he found Orion. Following him, Mecha404 reached a dragon. Hiding with the technology created from the Mainframe energy, he watched as the dragon and Orion left. Mecha404 then discovered a cube with a substantial amount of Cosmic Essence inside. After both the dragon and Orion departed, he approached the cube and acquired it. Immediately leaving the Transvoid, he absorbed its power whilst being between the Transvoid and the other Realities, causing violent tremors across all Realities.

He transformed back into his base state and entered Reality 6, where Jack was causing havoc in the Infinispheres. Omega, upon seeing Mecha404, clashed with him at full speed, shaking Reality and causing damage. Jack's chains, rays, and wings were unleashed, affecting the entirety of Reality, but Mecha404 continued to overpower him. Eventually, the entire reality began to collapse. Jack transformed into Overkill, whose mere presence could destroy Reality, but Mecha404 managed to send him flying outside of Reality. Following this, Mecha404 transformed into Mecha666, possessing a similar destructive capability. The two godlike entities clashed, shaking all nine Realities. Overkill unleashed tendrils and spikes, firing them, but Mecha666 dodged them. Black cables extended from Mecha666, creating a void and trapping Overkill within it. Mecha404 then transformed back to his base form and entered Reality, only to encounter The End.

"So you defeated Jack," said The End. Mecha404 was not scared this time.

"Gaining Cosmic Essence increased your ego didn't it ? I will be back." said The End before popping out of existence.
