### Rainbow Quest

#### Kingdom Arc

The Red leader made his first appearance when he decided to visit M's house and saw Sabre there. The Red Leader then started to lecture M that the Red Steves had been hiding for generations, asking why he would even think of bringing him to the kingdom, and how worried he was over M constantly being in and out of the kingdom. The Red Leader then becomes angry, revealing M is the red apprentice, asking why he would've done this. M tries to defend himself by stating things were going downhill in the Rainbow Kingdom. After hearing that the Red Leader retorts that when the Darkness returned he hadn't gone looking yet the moment the Rainbow Kingdom started doing bad he decided to go. M then reveals that he was there when Sabre defeated the Darkness, which the Red Leader also confirms, and the Red Leader brings up that they aren't supposed to intervene. M responds saying he thought there was more to it than that and the Red Leader tells him there isn't. The Red Leader then tries to justify keeping their secret by saying they are protecting the other Steves and M responds they're letting the others destroy themselves. Sabre then tries to interject into the conversation but the Red Leader yells at him to sit while the "grownups" talk. M then tells the Red Leader not to talk to Sabre that way and brings up that Sabre defeated the darkness, which the Steves had been fighting for generations, but the Red Leader instead blames Sabre for releasing it. M says that it was a accident and the Red Leader admits that Sabre had only done it under the false pretenses of a prophecy even the Red Steves were fooled by but even so his point still stands. Sabre then defends M by saying that he had hid his identity and the only reason Sabre even discovered he was a Red Steve was because M took off his hood before he came back to the Red Kingdom. M then brings up that he has stayed hidden from all the other Steves, narrowly avoiding Light Steve, and Sabre states that since he isn't a Steve no other Steve knows about them. The Red Leader then asks why Sabre wasn't immediately teleported out and Sabre explains he threatened to tell the Steves about the Red Steves if M had. The Red Leader then asks if they see the hypocrisy and they all agree that it was a bad move on Sabre's part. Sabre brings up that there are lots of things going on in the kingdom he cares about, which the Red Leader says he knows, and Sabre brings up they both care about their kingdoms but his contains all of the Steves who believe that the Red Steves are extinct and the last ones to exist were Rainbow Red and the Red Scout. The Red Leader counters saying he cares about everyone's Safety and Sabre responds saying it doesn't feel like it while M asks if the Red Leader doesn't think they should help, even secretly. The Red Leader responds to M saying yes and Sabre tells the Red Leader he understands him wanting to be cautious, so he brings up how the Green Steves also wanted to be cautious but couldn't stay away from the Steves for long. Sabre then brings up that the Red Steves represent wisdom and the Red Leader responds saying that this is a different scenario. Sabre agrees and states that they are all trying to do what's best. He then states that while the Red Leader may say he cares about everyone the intervention of the Red Steves is vital to the Rainbow Kingdom, he then brings up that there is a seat in the citadel waiting for the Red Steves and that they are welcomed in the kingdom. The Red Leader says that they are doing what's best but M questions him and reveals that they sent the Red Scout, to Sabre's surprise, and Sabre mentions that the Red Scout cared a lot about others. The Red Leader then sarcastically asks Sabre why he thinks they gave him the crystal. Sabre then states that the Red Leader trusted to Red Scout with the Red Crystal so since he trusted Sabre with it he asks the Red Leader to trust him. He then states that people are in danger, while the darkness is gone, a enemy from within is a problem. M then states that he trusts Sabre while the Red Leader decides to state for the record they didn't send Rainbow Red and Sabre acknowledges that it was clear Rainbow Red was acting of his own motives. The Red Leader called him a "crazed madman" and Sabre stated he is gone but the problems the Rainbow Kingdom is facing aren't. Sabre then goes on to say that M had been trying to tell him about the kingdom's problems, and that he understood why M was so cryptic, and he had been watching all of it and that anyone who had seem what M had seen would've wanted to help. Sabre then states that without the help of the Red Steves the kingdom will fall and since Sabre no longer has his powers he needs to rely upon the help of the Red Steves. The Red Leader then asks Sabre what he wants them to do, which Sabre responds saying he doesn't expect them to reveal themselves and M states that while he understands if the Red Leader doesn't trust Sabre but he does and will help him no matter what. The Red Leader then sarcastically suggests they pop in and magically fix all of Sabre's problems. Sabre then brings up that the Red Steves are the Steves on wisdom and the Rainbow Kingdom needs the knowledge of the past to prevent repeating those mistakes and only the Red Steves have lasted long enough to document it which is why they are being cautious. Sabre then brings up that it seems that every Red Steve that interacts with outside society either dies or goes insane but M brings up that Sabre is right and that they live longer than most Steves. The Red Leader shrugs it off by revealing they extend their lifespans while M reveals that they have been around since they first settled into the area. Sabre then brings up that he met Colle's clone and how he helped him so since the clone was able to help him the Red Steves should be able to help him a lot as well. The Red Leader then asks if Sabre wants his wisdom Sabre says yes and the Red Leader tells him to listen closely while Sabre acts excited. He then tells M to put Sabre back where he belongs while both M and Sabre react shocked. Sabre states that he thought they were having a moment while the Red Leader tells him too bad. The Red Leader tells M to send him away and M caves while Sabre tries to convince him not to. M tells Sabre he has to do it and the Red Leader tells M to meet him back at his house when he's done so he can lecture M and he leaves the house.

Sabre, after being teleported to the Red Kingdom, disguises himself as M and sneaks to the Red Leader's house for his help. Upon entering the house the Red Leader asks whos there. Once he saw Sabre, believing he was M, he began saying how relived he was now that he was back and asked him what took him so long but the Red Leader let it go immediately after asking. Sabre then reveals himself and asks the Red Leader to stay calm so he can explain. The Red Leader states he won't yell and Sabre explains that he disguised himself as M so the Red Steves wouldn't know he was here, that M sent him here, and M found a loophole in the Red Leaders commands so he was helping Sabre take back the Rainbow Kingdom. The Red Leader began freaking out and decided to have both Sabre and him take a seat while they talk. Sabre tries to distract the Red Leader by complimenting his house but the Red Leader tells him now is not the time for that. Sabre then begins to apologize for M's actions but the Red Leader interrupts asking where M is. Sabre then starts cautiously explaining but the Red Leader becomes angry and yells asking where M is and Sabre responds explaining he had been captured in the Rainbow Kingdom and wasn't sure if M had either been destroyed or thrown in a cell. Sabre then apologizes for not knowing, he then starts stating he knows the Red Leader is upset but he has no where to go, acknowledging he said that last time, but all of his friends have been taken captive by a power hungry lunatic who's manipulating the Rainbow Kingdom. He then states that he is all thats left of the resistance and M knew that. He then explains that the lunatic that captured M had the ability to prevent people teleporting themselves but M found a way around it by teleporting only Sabre to the Red Kingdom. He then states that if M sent him to the Red Kingdom it must've been to get the Red Leader's help. The Red Leader asks what Sabre wants and Sabre tells him he needs his help. Sabre then compliments the Red Kingdom and apologizes for potentially putting it in danger he then states that he won't tell anyone about the kingdom and that M is most likely still hiding his identity so if he can get M back the secret can remain safe. The Red Leader then finally caves and decides to help Sabre with conditions without loopholes to them. Sabre agrees and the Red Leader explains that he will help Sabre get M back if he never shows his face in the Red Kingdom again or speaks to M and Sabre agrees.

After agreeing Sabre begins walking away and asks the Red Leader to gather a fighting force to take the Rainbow Kingdom back. The Red Leader asks where Sabre is going and Sabre answers saying he thought they were going to go take the Rainbow Kingdom back and the Red Leader tells him no. Sabre becomes confused and tries to explain he needs to save his friends but the Red Leader states he isn't going with Sabre. Sabre then asks for a fighting force but the Red Leader tells him that no other Red Steves are going with Sabre. Sabre becomes confused and states that the Red Leader said he would help him. The Red Leader acknowledges he did and will honor his agreement. Sabre then asks if he is going to give him a powerful weapon but the Red Leader tells him no. Sabre remains confused and asks the Red Leader what he is going to do to help him since he had agreed to very strict terms. The Red Leader tells Sabre what he's going to give him is metaphorically powerful and asks who took M. Sabre then explains who Sol and the Corrected Sun. Once Sabre is done the Red Leader asks why Sol is in power and Sabre responds that he manipulated the citizens of the Rainbow Kingdom by preaching his cause was for the people when in reality it was for his own greed so when the kingdom was angry he gave them a outlet that benefited him. The Red Leader then states how M was fascinated with the minute details of outside world Sabre questions how thats gonna help and the Red Leader continues by stating M was fascinated by the details of how people acted and what gave them power. Sabre then compliments M, which the Red Leader agrees with, and then states that Sol gained power by manipulating the fear of the people into doing what Sol wanted and he has no idea how to stop that. He compares the situation to the Darkness stating it was so easy to turn against it because it was a external threat but the Corrected Sun are so difficult to defeat because they are a internal threat. The Red Leader states that people are powerful, and Sabre agrees stating Sol is, and people are more powerful than any organization. Sabre questions what that even means stating that the Red Leader agreed to helping but what hes saying isn't helping. The Red Leader then states that if Sol claims to be a product of the people and the people aren't at fault, Sabre then interrupts stating that the Red Leader isn't helping him the way he thought he would. The Red Leader then asks what gives Sol power besides fear and then states that fear is nothing. Sabre disagrees stating that fear is something when it takes control but then he starts to ask what the people fear realizing they don't fear anything. The Red Leader then states that while fear can make you faster and stronger it means nothing. Sabre then states that the Red Leader's advice isn't giving him something to go off of and he was expecting to receive a amulet with unlimited power or something. The Red Leader then states that if people believe in a cause then Sabre needs to remind them what that cause is. Sabre then asks why the Red Leader is being so vague and asks if theres a simple answer that would help him more. The Red Leader then states that Sol will be powerless if he doesn't have the people he claims to have. Sabre thanks the Red Leader for the conversation stating he took something from it even though he feels like he didnt get much help and the Red Leader says goodbye then teleports Sabre away.

#### Demon Arc

Sabre teleports to the Red Kingdom, disguises himself as M, and sneaks into the Red Leader's house. The Red Leader seems suspicious of the disguise but Sabre assures him that he is M. The Red Leader comments on how long it took him to come back and Sabre apologizes saying he had to deal with a issue. The Red Leader tells him its fine and Sabre asks if its okay to ask him a question and the Red Leader tells him its okay. Sabre then inquires about the "unspoken problem" and the Red Leader tells him knowledge should be sought out whenever possible but stops. Sabre states that he assumes the Red Leader knows what hes talking about and the Red Leader responds saying he should know about it. Sabre tries to play it off as if he does but wants a refresher for safety's sake. The Red Leader states Sabre's decision is wise and Sabre states how he heard from his "reports and studies" that people had been experiencing reality feeling off or different with changes that cannon be explained. The Red Leader confirms those things have happened and Sabre then inquires about the origin of the events. The Red Leader tries to explains but struggles. Sabre then apologizes for pushing for the information while the Red Leader tells him its fine but its hard to explain. Sabre asks why and tells the Red Leader to try to explain as best he can. The Red Leader then explains that the "unspoken problem" originates from evil itself. He then asks if Sabre knows about the World Beyond and Sabre responds saying he knows its where the souls of the dead go since hes a Red Steve, like the Red Leader, and knows lots of things. The Red Leader then reveals that the World Beyond has a opposite known as the World Below. Sabre tries to act as if he remembers hearing of it from his "studies" under the Red Leader which the Red Leader confirms. Sabre then asks if theres a way to access the World Below besides the natural way like the World Beyond or is it impossible like the World Beyond. The Red Leader then asks if Sabre remembers how Professor Red had discovered a way to access the World Below and how his research on it helped him make a name for himself. Sabre tries to play it off as if he forgot and the Red Leader mentions Professor Red lost his sanity because of his research. Sabre then asks for a refresher about accessing the World Below to prevent himself from accidentally doing it. The Red Leader hesitates telling Sabre but Sabre reassures him that he wants to know so he can prevent it if it were to happen. The Red Leader then explains that wherever a conflict has occurred, which Sabre links to the village he was at, a slight connection is created. Those spots are the weakest points between the worlds and can become a breach in between the. He then explains that you have to search the area for anything out of place or something that feels like it doesn't belong in the Overworld. Sabre begins questioning to himself what that would look like and the Red Leader gives him the example of it looking like a portal, Sabre then links the portal he saw to this information. The Red Leader then explains that the portal is the access point and that if Redstone blocks, which he gives to Sabre, are place around it the portal will be forced to open. Sabre thanks the Red Leader but the Red Leader warns him that opening a portal to the World Below is forbidden which Sabre responds trying to play off that he won't be opening a portal and thanks the Red Leader for reminding him stating his memory has been fuzzy lately. The Red Leader then explains that no one has ever willingly gone to the World Below and came back. Sabre tells himself that fact is terrifying and assures the Red Leader that its a good thing he isn't going to open a portal anytime soon. The Red Leader then states that the only one to have returned from the World Below is Professor Red but it was likely a exception since he only went halfway through the portal. He then states that regardless the damage to him was severe and Sabre thanks the Red Leader for the lesson complimenting him. Sabre then makes up a excuse to leave and the Red Leader tells Sabre to go back to his studies and to keep them safe Sabre agrees and thanks the Red Leader again but the Red Leader stops him saying he isn't feeling well. The Red Leader then sneezes and teleports Sabre to the Rainbow Kingdom.

Sabre goes back to the Red Kingdom to say his goodbyes to M but upon hearing the lightning from the teleportation the Red Leader runs, from halfway behind the kingdom, to see M. The Red Leader becomes out of breath and welcomes M back and M responds asking if hes alright and how fast he ran. The Red Leader responds saying he ran very fast and then states that normally he would be angry but instead hes just glad that M is back. M then gets the Red Leader to start moving away so they can talk and the Red Leader states he needs to sit down and does so. M questions if the Red Leader has to sit on the ground but the Red Leader states he does and asks how his activities went. M stutters trying to convince the Red Leader to get in a comfy chair and questions what the Red Leader asked. The Red Leader then states he knows M did more than what he intended to do when he left but now hes just glad that M is back. M in a panic states he did his duties and the Red Leader tells him its time to go to the Red Kingdom and that hes missed M while M agrees to it. Before M and the Red Leader leave the Red Leader tells M he has to do 1 last thing and he tell Sabre goodbye and teleports him away.

#### Final Arc

Sabre had been trying to reason Elemental Steve but he was about to destroy Sabre so Professor Red used a deal he made with Sabre as a excuse to take Sabre to his Observatory. When the Red Leader came to talk to Professor Red he noticed Sabre and asked what he was doing there. Before Sabre and Professor Red had a chance to explain Elemental Steve teleported to them. Elemental rhetorically asked if Sabre thought he could hide from him stating who he is and that he can sense energy signatures. Sabre tries to explain that he didn't run and the Red Leader asks who Elemental Steve is. Elemental Steve told him he will learn and attacked the Red Leader while Sabre and Professor Red at yelled him to stop. Sabre asks why Elemental attacked the Red Leader and he tells Sabre that he did it as a warning to stay away from him and Time Steve and then he teleported away. Sabre yelled at Professor Red to let him out and once he did they both went to check on the Red Leader. The Red Leader struggled to speak while Professor Red began apologizing to him and telling him the he will fix him. M then enters and Sabre explains that something happened to the Red Leader. As the seconds went by purple bruises began to form all over the Red Leader's body. Professor Red then states the Red Leader's condition while M asks Sabre what's happening. Sabre responds that Professor Red made good on their promise at a bad time while Professor Red responds stating bad things have happened and Sabre responds to that statement by explaining the guy Sabre had been arguing with, before Professor Red pulled him out, followed them and attacked the Red Leader. M then blames Professor Red while Professor Red defends stating he saved Sabre and that someone else was at fault for the Red Leader's condition and Sabre agrees. M struggles trying to figure out what to do but Sabre tells them they have to help the Red Leader because hes starting to look worse. Professor Red then states that they need to work together to get him into a machine Sabre then asks where they need to take the Red Leader but Professor Red just tells them to follow him as they all help the Red Leader into 1 of Professor Red's rooms. Sabre tries to reassure the Red Leader he is going to be okay and then states the Red Leader seems to be getting worse but doesn't understand why. Professor Red states he will explain momentarily and they all help the Red Leader into a machine. The Professor explains that the Red Steves had been extending their lives with Redstone but there was a side effect causing their ability to regenerate to weaken. After Explaining the Professor had M and Sabre leave the lab so he could help the Red Leader uninterrupted.

When Professor Red had the lab to himself, as an attempt to save the Red Leader, he injected a blood sample of Sabre into the Red Leader hoping it would help the Red Leader regenerate faster but instead it caused him to mutate into Hypno Steve. After the injection Hypno broke out of the lab leaving a giant fiery hole from his Observatory down to the table where he was born. After he broke out he hid himself and laughed as he watched everyone panic around the destroyed observatory trying to figure out what to do.

Sabre and Time Steve eventually went back to their house but Hypno Steve followed them and decided to mess with Sabre by forcing him to see hallucinations of Elemental Steve hovering over a pit filled with the bodies of Steves who were presumably dead. Sabre freaked out, ran inside, and frantically asked Time Steve to look outside. Time Steve and Sabre looked outside but saw nothing, Sabre tried to assure Time Steve about what he saw but Time Steve asked if Sabre sure. Sabre states that he was sure Elemental Steve had gone insane so Time Steve decided to check on the time states within the area. Sabre swears that what he saw was real but when Time Steve tells him that he doesn't sense anything so Sabre asks if Time Steve is sure he hadn't missed anything and then he asks himself why he saw it. Sabre and Time Steve start questioning why Sabre saw something and try to figure it out. Time Steve tries to blame the shock of what happened to the Red Leader but Sabre states that he wasn't distraught enough to have hallucinated something that felt so real. Time Steve then suggests going to the Time Dimension to see if they could figure out what's happening if it happened again. Sabre agrees and they teleport to the Time Dimension. Once inside Sabre started hallucinating that the Time Dimension had a different design but to Time Steve it looked the exact same. Sabre and Time Steve started running tests on Sabre to try and figure out what was going on but the tests come back showing no change in Sabre's body. Sabre looks away from Time Steve but when he looks back Time Steve appears as a Demon Steve version of himself and is told to stay away from Sabre. Sabre begins questioning what's real and asks Time Steve to teleport him to the Orange Kingdom to see if Sabre really is hallucinating.

Sabre is teleported to the Orange Kingdom but the sky is red and Sabre is alone. Sabre begins calling out to Time Steve but stops and questions if he really is at the Orange Kingdom or if hes just hallucinating still. Sabre then calls for help but no one answers and Sabre begins to question why hes experiencing the hallucinations. He then notices the statue of Crystal Rainbow Steve isn't a statue and it begins slowly and silently walking towards him. Sabre tells it to stay away and then lightning strikes Crystal Rainbow Steve turning him into the form he had when he died as he continues to walk towards Sabre. Sabre asks why hes here and what's happening and hears someone familiar reply that Sabre should know. Sabre turns around and sees Shadow Sabre and comments on his new look and asks if he's the one causing the hallucinations but Shadow responds he isn't but he wish he was. He then says that everything Sabre is seeing is real since he is in the Orange Kingdom, Crystal Rainbow Steve has come for revenge, and he is outside of Sabre's mind where he was left to rot. Sabre begins to refuse that what he is seeing is real and questions if Time Steve was real or if he was even in the Orange Kingdom. Shadow tells him everything Sabre is seeing is real and that everything is falling apart even though Sabre thought he was pulling it back together. He then states that Sabre's mind is a mess and that he was left in that mess despite him wanting nothing but now he can watch as Sabre experiences his worst nightmares. Lightning happens then Nightmare Steve appears and Sabre questions if he is the one doing it before coming to the conclusion he can't be since Nightmare Steve was destroyed. Shadow then states that Sabre will lose and everything will fall apart but when Sabre thinks he has lost everything he will then lose everything else. Sabre begins to deny this and screams stop into the sky. Hypno Steve then gently laughs and reveals himself to Sabre while everyone else has disappeared. Hypno then states that he has been waiting to mess with Sabre and that it was so easy to do so.He then tells Sabre he can call him Hypno Steve.

Sabre begins asking Hypno who he is and why hes messing with him, questioning if everything he saw was Hypno's doing. Hypno Steve confirms it was stating he has to do this. He then states that he told Sabre to stay away but Sabre took it too far and because of that Sabre had brought upon madness to him. Sabre questions being told to stay away from Hypno Steve stating he doesn't even know who he is and he never spoke to him. Sabre then recognizes Hypno Steve's laugh from Professor Red's Observatory and questions if he had anything to do with it's destruction and if he had done something to the Red Leader. Sabre then threatens Hypno Steve if he had done something to the Red Leader and Hypno Steve states that the Red Leader is fine and mocks Sabre stating that Sabre only wanted to find him so he could apologize for bringing so much danger to the Red Leader's life that the Red Leader didn't even want. Sabre then asks how Hypno Steve would even know this, asking if Hypno Steve was created by Professor Red. Sabre then asks if Hypno was in Professor Red's lab while he was trying to save the Red Leader and states he assumed Hypno Steve was a experiment. Hypno Steve then states that Sabre truly doesn't understand and questions if Sabre even deserves to understand. He then questions if Sabre should be allowed to continue doing anything anymore and states that Sabre likes to think of himself as a helper to all Steves but maybe some just want to be left alone. He then asks if Sabre ever thought about if some Steves should be left alone and if Sabre should leave forever. Sabre then states that Hypno Steve is confusing for someone who just showed up out of nowhere. He then states that Hypno took him to places like the Time Dimension and the Orange Kingdom, which he recognized, to make him feel like part of it was actually real and that he is sure he will be able to get out of wherever he is. Sabre then asks what Hypno Steve did with all of the Orange Steves and if the Orange Kingdom is real. Sabre then states that the Time Dimension didn't feel right and neither did any of his hallucinations. He then asks how Hypno Steve got his name and Hypno responds stating he gave it to himself and rhetorically asks if it wasn't obvious why. He then states that the power within himself and whoever he is surpasses any Steve Sabre has met before, possibly due to the knowledge he has. Hypno then states that his sanity is now gone and he blames Sabre so as revenge he will force Sabre to lose his. He then states that he won't destroy Sabre but instead will force him to experience madness. Hypno then states he can see inside Sabre's mind and that he can tap into his memories like Nightmare Steve, his precious best friend and hero Crystal Rainbow Steve, and Shadow Sabre who is locked inside of his mind. Hypno then states that Shadow resents Sabre so much but Sabre knows that Sabre then states that Shadow deserved his fate and just because Hypno can read his mind he isn't afraid of him. He then states that Hypno Steve can mess with him all he wants but he will find out why Hypno Steve is messing with him, who he is, and escape wherever he is, and stop him. Hypno then asks what there is to stop since all he is doing is bringing memories to the front of Sabre's mind reminding him of everything he has ever done. Hpyno then states that he himself is a reminder of what Sabre has caused, he then reads Sabre's mind and states that Sabre can't run from him and that he can take him wherever he wants.

He tells Sabre to watch and then teleports to the Original Rainbow Hub. Hypno then states that he can take Sabre anywhere and do anything. He goes on to say that with his powers he has unlocked the truth of the Steves and states that it was odd how he spent his life looking for answers but his own sanity was what held him back from them all this time. He tells Sabre to look around, asks if its familiar, and states that it should be. Sabre states he hasn't seen the Rainbow Hub in forever and asks why he was taken there. He then states that Hypno can take him anywhere and follow him anywhere and then asks why take him to the Rainbow Hub stating he had almost forgotten about it. Hypno questions Sabre's statement stating that the Rainbow Hub had been where he and Crystal Orange Steve started the journey of a lifetime. Hypno then states that he and Sabre are going on their own journey to find the truth to everything including the basis to all Steves. He then asks why the Steves exist and if Sabre even knows himself but Sabre answers he doesn't know and questions why they would even need to know. Sabre then states that Origin Steve was the first and created the rest and Hypno rhetorically asks if Sabre can think past that. He then states that Sabre would take anything at face value and sighs. He then asks if the Rainbow Hub wasn't nostalgic for the beginning but now they are at the beginning of the end. He then asks what will the end be and states that it is destined instead of a prophecy spread throughout time so it can be believed in it is something that will and has to happen. He then states that he can feel it and that Sabre will be the cause but Sabre responds saying hes confusing and that Hypno hates him but won't destroy him yet he will take him to nostalgic places. He then states that Hypno is just trying to mock him but he has learned enough to not be freaked out by Hypno's visions. He then states that at first the visions were terrifying but now its obvious that everything is a illusion that he won't believe and that Hypno can keep trying but now he won't fall for it. Hypno questions Sabre's statement and states that he was just showing off his power but if he takes a moment to breathe he can remember his patience he once had and will use it towards Sabre. He states that while the illusions Sabre had experienced previously were obvious he will now make subtle illusions to drive him to insanity and keep him questioning what is real and what is not so Sabre can pay for turning him into Hypno Steve. He then states that once he loses his patience he will go off the deep end once again and show Sabre his true power once again to remind him that he is under Hypno Steve's control. He then states that the endgame, which is uncontrollable, will come but until then he will have his fun with Sabre and everyone else. Sabre then states, again, that Hypno is confusing and that he still has no idea what he had done to him to make him so spiteful towards him and apologizes for it. Hypno then states Sabre apologizing twice and Sabre responds saying that he is sorry since its clear Hypno was hurt from whatever he had done but he can't help unless Hypno tells him what he did but until then all he can do is apologize. Hypno then states that apologies are for the weak and that his actions speak louder than his words he then shouts that he will never forgive Sabre. Sabre snaps out of his trance revealing that everything after Sabre told Time Steve to go outside was a illusion. Sabre and Time Steve begin talking about Hypno Steve and Time questions what Hypno can do and Hypno responds repeating the question then answering stating he can do everything twice and then laughing hysterically. Hypno then remains hidden, watching Sabre, until he decides to make a move.

Sabre and Time Steve are discovered in the Red Kingdom by a random Red Steve and M was having a hard time trying to keep the secret so Hypno Steve created the illusion of the Red Leader. He had the illusion tell the Red Steve that everything was okay and to trust him. He then gets the Red Steve to do him a favor by having him tell the other Red Steves that the Red Leader is taking a break from Leadership and that M will be in charge for the time being. Sabre tries to get the attention of the illusion but it walks inside M's house and once it closes the door it disappears. Hypno Steve then follows Sabre all the way to the table where he was born.

While Sabre and M try to force the truth of Hypno Steve from Professor Red Hypno laughs maniacally and reveals himself. He then begins to mock Professor Red by asking why not tell them the truth and questioning if he has the guts to tell them. Sabre asks what truth Hypno is talking about and Hypno responds that it was the truth Professor Red couldn't bring himself to explain. Hypno then explains that Professor Red was distraught and was trying to help but instead he ended up creating a monster. Hypno then tells the Professor if he won't tell them the truth then he will show them the truth for him. Hypno then teleports M, Sabre, and Time Steve inside of his own mind while they all question whats happening Hypno states he will show them the truth.

Sabre questions where Hypno took them and what he did but Hypno states that he will show them the truth of everything. Sabre questions what Hypno means and states that the Professor had been trying to hide something that he couldn't bring himself to tell tehm. He then asks whats happening and what is they place they are. Hypno then explains that they are in a projection of his mind and that while he has seen versions of others they are in his which is filled with chaos and corruption. Sabre tells the group to just go along with what Hypno wants since they most likely won't be able to do anything while Time Steve comments that what's happening is terrifying with M agreeing. Sabre tells them to stay behind him and that Hypno won't attack him, he thinks. Hypno tells the group to follow him so he can lead them to the truth and show them what Professor Red did to him and so many others. Sabre and the others follow Hypno until he begins hovering over nothing and Sabre asks where he wants them to go. Hypno responds saying that a projection of himself will show them what has happened if they follow him into the air and he tells them to hurry up. Sabre questions how since they can't float and theres nothing to stand on but Hypno tells them to believe they can and they will, stating it isn't that hard to do, so they need to just step off. He then states that he isn't tricking then right now and Sabre tries it first while Time Steve tells him Geronimo. The group start walking while Sabre states how Hypno's mind is extremely chaotic and he notices a broken piece of the Rainbow Hub within the mindscape. Upon reaching their destination Sabre questions where they are and what Hypno is trying to show them until they see the Red Leader badly hurt and incredibly desaturated on a table. They question if it is the Red Leader and Hypno confirms that it is and questions the group if the table seems familiar. Sabre then makes the connection that its the table Professor Red showed them before it was destroyed and Hypno Steve responded calling Sabre smart confirming it is. He then explains that the Red Leader was taken to the table and the Professor had attempted to save the Red Leader. He states that the Professor had been so worried he would do anything to save him and questions the others if they would do anything to save their friend even if it meant their friend wouldn't be themselves. Sabre responds he doesn't know because its a loaded question and asks what the Red Leader has to do with this while Time Steve states how the Professor called Hypno his friend. M asks Sabre what Hypno is trying to get at and Sabre asks Hypno why Professor Red called him his best friend, who is he, and what does it have to do with the Red Leader. Hypno then states that he is connected to the Red Leader but unfortunately the Red Leader is no longer existent in this world or any other and apologizes for having to break the sad news to them. Sabre tries to call Hypno's statement a lie by bringing up the fact he saw the Red Leader calm down a Red Steve earlier but Hypno asks if they really did, if the Red Leader spoke to them, and if he seemed as if he wasn't real like a projection. M states what Hypno is saying doesn't make sense and Sabre agrees. Sabre then asks Hypno what is happening and Hypno responds that they just can't figure it out despite having painted such a clear picture. He then states that he will just tell them outright that he is the Red Leader and the Professor created him as a abomination of a Red Steve. He asks them if thats what they wanted to hear and if they were happy with their answers. Sabre begins denying the truth stating he saw the Red Leader, Hypno doesn't look anything like the Red Leader, and He sounds nothing like the Red Leader. He then states that it doesn't make any sense and Hypno responds saying the Professor was desperate and knew that he wouldn't survive. He then states that since he was the oldest and wisest of the Red Steves his regenerative capabilities were the weakest and as such his bruises would get worse and his body would deteriorate. Hypno then states the Professor couldn't bare to see his closest friend deteriorate so he did the unthinkable as a last ditch effort and injected the sample of Sabre's blood into him which of course backfired and removed his sanity so now he is what he is now. Hypno then states that he is cursed with knowledge and then asks if they have met the Great Librarian and states that he retained his sanity because of his curse but Hypno doesn't have that luxury and retains endless knowledge which he cannot stop. He then states that he has unlocked visions of the future and asks if they know what its like to know the end of everything and know that you're powerless to stop it. Time tries to defend the Professor by stating he tried to help Hypno and M tells Sabre that after Hypno's explanation things were starting to make sense but Sabre asks how and why would Hypno choose to show them the truth despite the fact Hypno seemed to resent him when they first met. Hypno states that despite what Sabre has been through he still views the world as black and white thats so easily defined. He then asks if they think he cares about any of them or anything and states that hes seen the end and asks why would he care about petty fights. He then states that if anything all he wants is to toy with and enjoy his time as people trying to prevent the end struggle. He then tells the group to struggle like he does within his own mind and that they can think the Red Leader can come back but he is forever trapped on top of the operating table, within the mindscape, asleep. M calls Hypno sick and his goal disturbing and Hypno responds restating M's statement and saying that he doesn't care and that everything is going to end. He then tells M he will give him a chance, calling him his dear apprentice, stating that he is most likely the only person that he cares about. He then states that while his sanity is gone his emotions are not and he still feels them but he just doesn't care. Time then states that while Hypno says hes seen the end or the last page on the final chapter but he knows better. Hypno rhetorically asks if Time does and asks what exactly he knows better and Time responds stating that time doesn't end. Sabre states that Time Steve is right and asks if time does come to an end but Hypno laughs and calls Time Steve a simple minded fool. Time then states that time never runs out but Hypno responds stating that while Time Steve has a more advanced perception of time, he forgets that while time doesn't end the end of life is coming and that while he can't understand it since Hypno has seen it he will understand it when it happens and he will laugh as Hypno foretold it. Time responds saying he knows more about time than any other being including Hypno and Sabre asks if Time is sure and if Hypno is tricking them as some kind of joke. He then asks if the end is actually coming and Time Steve responds that he is mostly positive but Hypno interjects stating that Time is 99.99% positive but that .01% is very important and its what he saw. He calls it the percentage that must occur and then states that the paradox of life is what ends must begin again. Time then responds stating he was actually 89.8% sure and backhandedly calls Hypno a fool. Hypno responds that they are just numbers and Time can sound smart all he wants but the day of reckoning is coming and they will regret not heeding his warning but maybe they should avoid the truth so they can enjoy whatever time they have left on what they call world, planet, or universe. He then states that all of it is connected and it will all meet its final chapter and Time will figure it out and discover his part in it. He then states who Time Steve is and asks how much of time he can control and states that Time will have to find out. Hypno then states that he has revealed the truth and says goodbye to Time Steve before teleporting him back to the real world. Sabre asks why he did that and states that they aren't done talking and Hypno agrees that he and Sabre aren't done but M is done. He then tells M goodbye and that it was a good chat they had before teleporting him back to the real world.

Once M is gone Sabre questions what Hypno wants to talk about and why he wasn't sent away like Time and M. Hypno responds that Time and M can't accept the truth but Sabre is the key and the answer to everything. He then states that Sabre can't accept that nor can he even understand why. Hypno tries to tell Sabre something that they both share but he struggles trying to explain calling the feeling a paradox which is probably why he lost his sanity and why his mind is so chaotic. Sabre states that Hypno hasn't attacked them, stated that he doesn't care about anything yet he helped M, and willingly told them the truth so clearly Hypno is helping in a way. Sabre then asks why and Hypno responds stating that like he said his emotions remain in tact and he is capable of feeling them, He then states he feels like he has lost his sanity from the feeling of knowing what's coming but not being able to help those in need when it comes making the knowledge he carries useless but even so he will, calling himself selfish, help those he cares for like M. He then says that he has known M, as Sabre calls him, all of his life and had been preparing him to take up the mantle of leader and while Sabre did believe in him despite the end coming he wants to help M do his best because that is what M would want. He then states that he still cares and restates the Professor calling him his best friend. He then asks Sabre to walk with him towards the ship so he can show Sabre why the Professor call him his best friend and Sabre agrees. Sabre then states that he doesn't know why but he believes Hypno to be a good person despite sounding like a psychopath its understandable why he feels the way he does since the Professor infused a sample of Sabre into him. Sabre then states that Hypno's bruises remained and that what the Professor did to him was horrible but he still viewed Hypno, and the Red Leader, as his best friend. Hypno states that his and the Professor's history goes way back and that they are the oldest of the Red Steves currently in existence. He then states their history is intertwined so it makes sense why the Professor wouldn't wish to see Hypno go but in trying to save him he turned his friend into a monster but it hadn't always been that way. He then states that before both their sanity was gone, before the Professor stuck his head through a World Below portal, and before he became the monster he is now they were simple Red Steves. He then tells Sabre he will show him and teleports them.

Hypno takes Sabre to a open field showing his past self and the Professor's past self having fun together. Once there Sabre asks where Hypno has taken him and if they should talk to the Red Steves in front of them but Hypno tells Sabre to relax since they can't see them. He explains that they're in a recreation of Hypno's past before everything that happened to them. He explains that he and the Professor were friends, while the Professor was obsessed with understanding the properties of Redstone he was content with the world knowing that he would someday become be the leader of the Red Steves he wanted to spend as much time as he could with the Professor. He states how the Professor loved having him there as a friend since he didn't judge the Professor for his obsessions or his creations. He explains despite Redstone's color Professor Red was the one who established it's connection to the Steves. He states that the Professor took it upon himself to unlock the possibilities of Redstone to advance the society of the Red Steves. Hypno goes on explaining that during the time of the 2nd hero the Professor had begun to thrive but even though he wasn't yet the leader he knew it was his future. He explains that while they were good friends, both he and the Professor knew the future was inevitable and enjoyed their time together none the less. He then explains that he considered the Professor his only friend since everyone else had treated him as the leader he would become and the Professor saw him as his only friend since he was the only person to respect the Professor's creations and him. He then states that with the Professor they would advance the society of the Red Steves so much it would surpass all others but as a result they would need to distance themselves from each other to reduce the possibility of corruption within society. Hypno then states that it appears doing so was pointless since the end is coming but Sabre disagrees stating it had a purpose because those times had meant something to Hypno. He then states that those times mattered to Hypno and regardless of whether when or if it came to the end. He goes on saying that to make those times last as long as possible and to have them is whats important rather than forcing them or freaking out over the posibility of them ending. Sabre explains that good times come to an end but its impossible to have good times without knowing they won't last. Hypno responds stating he knows the whole spiel but nonetheless the paradox of the end, that he is able to see, consumes his thoughts and he cannot control it. He then states that he is simply giving Sabre the answer he wanted rhetorically asking if Sabre had asked him about how he's connected to the Professor and why everything is the way it is for them currently. Sabre responds that he did ask those questions but Hypno hasn't answered why he hates him and has a grudge against others but Hypno responds that his vendettas are strong because Elemental Steve stopped his good times. He then states that while he knew the Professor's mind was waning he could've stayed as the Red Leader for so much longer his voice begins to echo as he states he could've enjoyed those moments for so much longer but thanks to Elemental Steve and Sabre he no longer can because they had to show up. He then states that since he can see the truth of the end he understands the beginning because of Sabre he knows he had the good times but now because of Sabre he is experiencing the bad times. His voice calms and he states that he hates Elemental and Sabre but because of them he understands that he enjoyed those times stating his situation as a catch-22 and that they all have them but he will still need to come to terms with it, which he states he mostly has, but for the time being his emotions will guide his actions. He tells Sabre to trust that he is aware of everything calling himself the smartest Steve to exist stating that he says that not to brag but to state a fact and that he can see all the potential within everything. He then states that he can see "him" within Sabre, refering to Origin Steve, looking at him and almost begging him not to tell Sabre the truth. He asks if Origin hears that he will wait since it doesn't matter what he tells sabre it matters what time we have left. Hypno then teleports Sabre back to the real world and decides to mess with Elemental Steve.

Hypno Steve appears to Elemental Steve stating that he feels pity towards Elemental and Time Steves situation. He then "helps" Elemental by showing him Galaxy Steve's House and giving him the schematics to a machine. Hypno told Elemental that that machine would teleport them both inside it and once inside Elemental would have to win a fight against Time Steve so they could fuse inside it to become Galaxy Steve and once fused they would be able to leave. Elemental built the machine and he went through with his plan but he ended up destroyed in the end, to Hypno's enjoyment.

Hypno remains inactive after causing Elemental Steve's death but eventually he shows back up much later to help Sabre. When Sabre states that he doesn't know what else to do Hypno laughs and answers that he thinks he knows what to do. Hypno then appears in front of Therapist Green Steve's house and Sabre, Yellow Steve, and Green Therapist go out to meet him. Sabre asks what Hypno wants stating that hes already caused enough trouble and the Green Therapist asks who Hypno is. Sabre then introduces Yellow Steve and Green Therapist to Hypno Steve as the former leader of the Red Steves, which shocks them both. Sabre then asks again what Hypno wants stating that hes caused enough trouble being the reason why Elemental Steve is dead. Green Therapist tells Sabre that he can't brush over the fact Hypno was a leader of the Red Steves and Sabre tells him he will explain later but for now they need to figure out what Hypno wants so he can leave them alone. Hypno states that he came to laugh at Sabre struggling and that he sees what's causing the problem so now he watch Sabre suffer like Time Steve is suffering. He then states that everyone will get their suffering for what they've done to him and that of course he caused Elemental's death. He states that Elemental wanted to fuse with TIme to become Galaxy Steve because he didn't understand it was impossible so he exploited him and now hes going to cause even more trouble for Sabre. Sabre states that Hypno isn't here to just laugh because he knows Hypno would've done it without revealing himself and asks why Hypno came here. Sabre then states that he knows Hypno doesn't hate him and then he comes to the realization that whatever happened had also happened in the Red Kingdom causing M to disappear. Sabre then states that if there was anyone Hypno would care about it would be M and that Hypno wants to see M run the Red Kingdom as best as he can for as long as he can despite knowing the end is coming. Hypno then rhetorically asks if Sabre thinks that he would come incredibly vulnerable to him out of all people and states that he doesn't need his or anyone else's help because he knows the future so he doesn't care about any of what Sabre stated. Sabre then calls Hypno's bluff by telling him to leave and that he didn't have to show himself but Hypno isn't a bad guy, was once a leader who cared, and while Hypno's sanity may be gone he still feels his emotions. Sabre then asks what Hypno came to do, stating to skip the nuances, and asking again what Hypno wanted to do. Hypno responds that while he does despise Sabre his knowledge is subpar yet he is somehow able to figure Hypno out sometimes. Hypno then states that hes going to help Sabre a little to see just how far Sabre will be able to use it, stating that while he can see the end his own future is unknown. He then states its like a game to him to create the outcome, Hypno's voice becomes erratic, so he will send the trio somewhere but won't be helping any further than that and the trio can discover what they need to do by themselves. Hypno then tells them to come over here and gather around telling them not to be scared and everything is going to be ok. Hypno then states that once they get to where Hypno is sending them what happens next is up to them so he will be watching and laughing. Hypno tells Sabre goodbye, laughs, and then teleports the trio to the Red Kingdom.

Hypno then watches Sabre begins dealing with problems. Hypno then visits where he had lost his mind. After teleporting back to the Red Kingdom, Sabre and Yellow Steve search the Professor's lab again. Sabre eventually stumbles upon Hypno and calls out to him. Hypno then responds asking what Sabre was doing there, rhetorically asking that if he had helped him, and why he came back to the lab. Hypno then reveals that while he can see the future he can't fully predict Sabre's actions stating that its frustrating that he can't. Sabre then explains that he came back because something went wrong and that things usually do go wrong. Hypno retorts stating that things go wrong because its the natural order of the world and that if he wants to understand everything he can't expect things to always go right. He then states that things may go wrong and ruin him but the point is about how far he can persist against whats challenging him and that makes Sabre keep going as well as make him a person. Sabre responds that while Hypno says those things as if he understands it yet he knows hes insane and hurt people. Sabre then asks if Hypno takes his own advice which Hypno responds with a sigh. Hypno responds that Sabre always tries to turn the blame back onto him but its not always about him and that blame doesn't matter, rhetorically asking who cares. Hypno then rhetorically asks if Sabre came to him and that he didn't ask for the conversation he was just reflecting and remembering his past event though hes lost it. Hypno then states that he knows hes lost his past and that it honestly makes him dangerous and that if would be better if Sabre left him along. Sabre retorts that he wanted to be left alone by Hypno but all it did was leave Sabre alone because Time Steve left to grieve the loss of the brother Hypno tricked. Hypno responds that Elemental had it coming because he and Sabre were at fault for creating him and that everyone in his life had led him up to this moment. He then states that it isn't just his fault but its also the fault of everyone around him. Hypno then states that who he is is also up to him so he chooses to act the way he does now and that Sabre should think about it. Hypno then states that Sabre thinks that hes bad or good but Sabre has spoken to the Darkness and they've been through all of this so they don't need to be having this conversation. Sabre then says that hes still sorry for how things turned out for Hypno and that when he was the Red Leader he had been kind and chose to help him like he had recently. Hypno responds sarcastically that he did and that all he wants is to see M and that he is the only thing he cares about. Hypno then rhetorically asks if Sabre is struggling and states that Sabre is now dealing with a new problem and panicked just like how anyone else would but theres always a moment of clarity like how he sees Sabre is feeling now because of what happened earlier. Sabre rhetorically asks if Hypno knows about everything and how he lost Light and Green Therapist. He then asks what Hypno means by what happened earlier stating that a lot of things have happened. Hypno replies that Sabre knows and so did the Demon Steve that Sabre sent back to the World Below. Hypno then states that Sabre is the cause for so many things and asks why he can't accept it. Sabre responds stating that it isn't just him that causes things and that while he did cause some things so has everyone else because thats what happens when people are trying their best. Hypno then states that Sabre feels guilt and its taking over him, shutting him down, stopping him from telling the truth to his friends. Hypno then rhetorically asked what happened to moving past that and being honest. He then asks if Sabre is losing his honesty and repeated asks if he is stating that he would honestly love to see that happen because hes made things so much more interesting when he did. Hypno then states that Sabre should maybe let Him , referencing Shadow Sabre, out of his mind and let him take over so Sabre can lose the balance again. Sabre tells Hypno no and to stop taunting him. He then states that he wants to be able to speak to Hypno normally because he remembers who Hypno used to be, but now everytime he hears Hypno speak he doesn't hear the Red Leader anymore. Sabre then states that he thought too highly of Hypno and that he was wrong to have thought the Red Leader would've been strong enough to maintain who he was after what happened to him. Hypno responds stating that Sabre wants to talk to someone about what he did in the Unnamed's cave and that Sabre felt powerless again but since he lost the power of the Darkness hes now just a mortal who wants to help more than he can now so he did what anyone who was grieving would do and ask for the help. Hypno then asks if Sabre asked the right person and Sabre responds that it had promised him a lot but hasn't brought any results and is now gone without any hint as to where. Sabre then states that he feels like everything went wrong just because he released the Unnamed from 1 chain, stating he didn't even release 2. Sabre then states that he didn't free the unnamed and only broke 1 chain but it was the reason why all of the steves in highly populated areas had dissapeared just like the Demon Steves but worse since there isn't a known way to stop the Unnamed. Sabre then states that he doesn't even know who the Unnamed is because of the armor it wears asking why he would believe the Unnamed. Hypno then responds that many believe what they want as long as its makes them feel safe and feels stronger than them. Hypno then states that Sabre believed in him and that maybe the reason why he helped Sabre as the Red Leader was because he believed Sabre was stronger than him in different ways so he could believe that someone else could fix the outside problems for him. Hypno then states that its ironic that even as the Red Leader he wanted someone else to fix his problems. Hypno then states that Sabre went down into the cave and broke a chain thinking the Unnamed would help him but he knows now that the Unnamed won't and Sabre responds that he does know now but it doesn't change the fact that Sabre released him. Sabre then states that the Unnamed had been repeating "only 1 chain" and now he knows that 1 chain was all it took for him to be free. Sabre then asks why the Unnamed was even chain down there and ,stating the Steve Village leaders called him the Unnamed, asking why the Unnamed would help those Steves for generations patiently waiting. Sabre states that only he was able to free the Unnamed and asks why, stating that Steves had tried before and were destroyed unlike Sabre. Sabre then asks why and that he had never met anyone like the Unnamed. Hypno then responds that while he does have answers they aren't the ones Sabre wants. Hypno then states that Sabre needs to stop and rhetorically asks if he told Sabre that he was the key to the end and Sabre responds that he just needs answers. Sabre then asks Hypno to tell him what happens at the end and Hypno states that he could and it would be a answer but it wouldn't be a answer for him. Hypno then asks if Sabre knows what he means and then states that he thinks Sabre does as long as Sabre has good memory. Hypno then states that Sabre tried his hardest but he has to accept certain things so he can fight to change the things he can and then tells Sabre to tell with the fact the Unnamed tricked him. Sabre tells Hypno that he would love to deal with the problem but he doesn't know where the Unnamed is or how to find him. Sabre then states the Unnamed was gone the moment he came back after breaking the chain. Hypno asks if Sabre wants to find the Unnamed and Sabre responds that he does. Hypno then tells Sabre that he thinks it wouldn't be that hard for Sabre and Sabre asks what Hypno means. Hypno then tells Sabre the answer may be closer than Sabre thinks. The Unnamed then appears behind Sabre and runs with Sabre giving chase. Sabre, after a lot of screaming and running, eventually loses him at the top of the observatory, and Hypno states that Sabre had lost the only other person who had the answers he wanted and rhetorically asks what Sabre is gonna do now. Hypno then states that Sabre keeps failing even with help and asks if Sabre needs to be babied everywhere all the time. Sabre tells Hypno to stop and asks why the Unnamed was there but drops it and tells Hypno that if hes just going to taunt him then Hypno should stay away so Sabre can go talk to Yellow Steve. Hypno tells Sabre not to waste his time doing that because its fuetal and Sabre asks what Hypno means but Hypno then begins to sarcastically tell Sabre to keep doing what hes doing since all Hypno ever does is taunt him, not help him ever, and Sabre doesn't need him to figure anything out. Sabre then asks where Yellow Steve is and if hes actually down there. Hypno then states that Sabre does want his help and Yellow Steve isn't at the bottom of the observatory and asks if Sabre's little brain can figure out what happened or does Sabre need him to help him some more. Sabre tells Hypno hes lying and climbs down to the bottom, yelling for Yellow Steve but getting no response. Sabre then asks what Hypno did to him but Hypno responds that he didn't do anything and tells Sabre to not accuse him. He then states that while Yellow Steve is gone it isn't his fault and all he was trying to do was enjoy his time left until they showed up and began to stop him from that. Sabre then asks what happened to him and her is but Hypno just states that the Demon Steve said that Sabre knows and that its so obvious. Hypno then asks if Sabre is in denial and if Sabre doesn't wanna believe the truth. Hypno then states that if he can't accept the truth then they'll never get anywhere and asks if Sabre realizes that. Sabre then states that the Unnamed was the only person who could've took Yellow Steve and asks why he took Yellow Steve but not him as well as why he would do any of this. Hypno responds that the answers he has aren't the answers Sabre wants so Sabre needs to figure it out. Hypno then states that maybe 1 day Sabre will be able to do what he needs to without Hypno having to be by his side, give him everything he needs and that hes supposed to be more than this. Hypno then states that what he sees Sabre as right now isn't what he sees Sabre as at the end but it doesn't matter and what does it that its Sabre's problem now. Hypno then states that he came to the observatory for some peace and alone time but maybe he should relish how Sabre is failing so badly right now. Hypno then rhetorically asks Sabre whats wrong and if hes scared since all his friends are gone and now hes alone in his head for once. Sabre then tells Hypno he doesn't need him and goes to the top of the observatory to figure out a plan. Sabre then tries to figure out a plan but comes to nothing. Hypno then states that Sabre is like a sad puppy and that the teleporter was the reason why he got separated from his friends. Sabre confirms it, stating that Yellow Steve was taken by the Unnamed for some reason, and that he needs to find Light Steve and the Green Therapist. Hypno tells Sabre to listen to him and asks if the teleporter is a prototype, which Sabre confirms it is asking why the Professor would even make it. Hypno tells Sabre that he'll get his answers eventually and states the prototype was made by the Professor and made for a reason but its important that its a prototype. Hypno explains that the Professor isn't the most mentally stable person, ironically coming from him, and that the note that came with the prototype explained it can go anywhere its previously been in the overworld. Sabre asks how Hypno knew that but Sabre brushes it off and confirms what Hypno states and asks what about it. Hypno then states that the note didn't state the locations were limited to where the user had previously been with the teleporter and the Professor had probably used it to test it. Hypno then states that the prototype is probably more than Sabre thinks and thats all hes going to say. Hypno then tells Sabre to go do something or anything and if Sabre fails again he can have a laugh but for now he will be leaving since hes had enough of Sabre. He tells Sabre goodbye and laughs while teleporting away.
