Gameverse History

This is a sub-page detailing the history of the Gameverse in the Toon Wars Timeline.

## Distant Past

25 billion years ago, the Gameverse was created by the three Goddesses of Time, *Urðr*, *Verðandi,* and *Skuld.* They were responsible for weaving, measuring, and cutting the threads of history and would have a daughter named Mina. A servant created by Skuld to observe and report the ins and outs of history (much like Clockwork in the Toonverse). Eons later, the Time Factory would be established to prevent dangerous anomalies from jeopardizing reality. And the Cat-Sith, fairies of time, would become its workers. Many other organizations and alien races (i.e. the Zoni, Precursors, etc) watching time through the years would rise and fall, but the Time Sweepers continued to operate very discreetly, making sure that should a timeline be created, modified, or otherwise destroyed, they would never disrupt the fabric of existence, as doing so would force the Time Goddesses to perform a hard reset that would erase not just the Gameverse but the Cat-Sith as well.

### Blinx the Time Sweeper and Masters of Time and Space

For an epoch, this fear of the Goddesses of Time having to destroy their creations wouldn't be realized until the formation of the Tom Tom Gang led by the ruthless Benito, who became notorious after stealing and controlling time crystal fragments; the same materials used by the Sweepers. Their meddling with history, literally stealing time, quickly grew into a crisis as it led to the creation of physical reality-breaking anomalies that if left unchecked could disrupt the flow of time and space. On one such occasion, Benito took to raiding World B1Q64, not only abducting its princess but glitching the world so much that not even the Time Sweepers could handle it. Time was literally halted by the Factory, deeming the world a complete loss when the Tom Toms had taken over. However, when Princess Lena had begged for help during one of Benito's transmissions, one of the Time Sweepers, a young one named Blinx (Designation: 01712), quickly became infatuated with her and went in to save the planet himself against the factory's orders. Despite all odds, Blinx had managed to not only rescue Lena, but also repair every glitch in the world from the Tom Tom's efforts, forcing the gang to flee. He returned to the factory afterward and was met with applause from virtually everyone in the facility, including the highest authority, the Chief Executive.

Blinx would soon be promoted to a commanding role along with other high-performing Time Sweepers a few years before another assault by the Tom Tom Gang staged at the Time Factory itself. The gang had evolved into an army large enough to push back the defense of the main facility after the shattering of an ancient artifact known as the Big Crystal by Benito in one of his treasure hunts. This event convinced the Goddesses that time itself was being used unwisely, commencing a countdown for the destruction of the Gameverse entirely. To remedy this, their daughter Mina had secretly contacted the Time Sweepers and Tom Tom Gang to gather the fragments of the destroyed crystal to change her masters' minds. As per their plan, they released the Scissor Demon, a powerful entity made to cut the flow of history. But with the shaky team-up of both factions to rebuild the Big Crystal, the monster was defeated and the goddesses had been swayed.

Though the universe was saved and the Goddesses expressed pleasure with Mina's actions, choosing not to destroy the timeline, deep down she felt she couldn't trust them any longer. Their hastiness to betray their own creations led to her vanishing during the time her leaders had begun tampering with the Gameverse in preparation for something dark in one of the timelines they observed. Her last sighting was with the CEO personally, who himself had lost faith in the ones he once worshiped. It was decided should these beings ever fall down a dark path once again, the Time Sweepers would need to step in against their makers. However, the Factory would not ally with the Tom Tom Gang again, but instead work with one of the worlds within the universe they protect.

### Little Tail Bronx

Before the name "Falana" was established, World E4T65 was populated by humans who after multiple wars were driven extinct and overtaken by early anthros. Thanks to their advancement in society, they began developing better technologies, including their famous mechas and flying islands. However, prejudice among Caninu and Felinekos carried over from humanity's downfall, leading to the creation of entire empires seeking to dominate the planet along with tussles with sky pirates. During this conflict, what remained of humanity took the form of hybrids created to remake the world, but their development was faulty and ultimately led to more chaos as Caninu and Felinekos began resolving their differences and toppling the evil empires that tried to stop them. With the heroism of a regular officer, a hybrid, and their group of friends following a string of adventures, peace was completely established. The only downside is after a small incident with remote-controlled mechas, advancement in technology and civilization was halted. It's also around this time that the Moonbloods were discovered and would, in the future, return from hiding to help re-establish the magic on the planet.

### Pre-Dust an Elysian Tail and Ori Series

Centuries before the Gaius War, Falana was charted by the Time Factory under hidden orders from the CEO, designated: E4T65. It's populace was comprised of Moonbloods, reptile-like people who ran society and magic, and Warmbloods, the more diverse anthro citizens, with other unique creatures roaming the land. Though it is unknown how the Chief Executive made contact with their leaders personally, he was able to establish an evac site in the distant regions of the world should the Time Factory ever fall into enemy hands. It's also around this time that an alien-like Goddess known as Lady Tethys appeared, watching and controlling the land's waters from her lair deep in Mudpot.

During this era, a cosmic being going by the name, Trio, was rapidly terraforming worlds around the Gameverse, creating chaotic armies of aliens and monsters, each with motivations consisting of the same theme: To manipulate and bend space to their whims. One of these early terraformers known as Spirits would work instead to maintain the world they were born on, while a later version of them named The Decay purposefully distorted anything they came across. Seeking to wipe out their opposites, The Decay were able to reach Nibel, the home of the Spirit Tree, to drain its energy and plunge the land into darkness, leaving one more Spirit to be born away from it. For a good amount of time, this creature known as Ori was raised by a member of an intelligent native species named Naru, who protected them from the ferocious monsters until the time was right for the young Spirit to venture on their own. After facing the dark owl, Kuro, numerous times, Ori managed to restore the light, pushing back the corruption and creating new life in Nibel. However, another region named Niwen, which had suffered the longest from the Decay's influence, ended up spreading its energy further across the planet. After saving their loved ones and restoring their home, Ori uses the last of their energy to take the form of a new Spirit Tree to ensure Niwen's light is never extinguished again.

After the tree fully grew, however, Trio, perhaps feeling sympathetic to her creations, decided to preserve Ori by plucking a leaf from their tree and transporting it to Falana through hyperspace where it would eventually fully regenerate the Spirit. Whether or not this is actually Ori or simply a copy is unclear. Either way, their memories would be fully intact once they're resurrected in a world where they're needed again.

This back and forth between the light and dark in the Gameverse culminated in Trio arriving on Falana personally, seeking to alter it like all the others. However, the CEO's fears of a threat like this were prepared for by the Moonbloods, who forged the 5 Blades of Elysium; powerful swords made with divine intervention given unique abilities. The 5th blade, Ahrah, was given sentience to utilize their combined power and allow the strongest Moonblood, Gray Eyes, to seal the cosmic entity within Falana in a dormant state. Each sword was then scattered throughout the land while Ahrah was given guardians over the years who would watch over him while he's inactive until a future sword-bearer could arrive, should there ever be another major conflict.

Over time, however, tensions between the Warmbloods and Moonbloods began to arise as one such Warmblood, a general named Gaius, had realized the society he served was rigged. Because of the Moonbloods' keen foresight, they organized the laws of the land in a way that automatically determined everyone's fate from birth in an attempt to avoid all conflict. However, this also meant that no one, not even the Moonbloods themselves, would be able to flourish, forging their own paths. What started as simple, well-organized protests suddenly became an all-out civil war despite the government being open to hearing the general's views on the matter. Soon, Gaius was able to expand his followers enough that they completely overtook the land in a matter of days with the express purpose of slaughtering the Moonblood race, as well as anyone of their species who questioned or protested against Gaius.

## Pre-Regime Incident

### Dust an Elysian Tail

By now, the war between the General and the rest of Falana had left the Moonblood regions in shambles, leaving both Moonblood and Warmblood races on the verge of extinction, making even spiritual beings like Lady Tethys and the late Baron Kane grow weary of it. One Moonblood victim, Fuse, had even been driven mad by Gaius' war after sustaining heavy injuries in one of his battles, leading him to go on a personal genocide against all Warmblood kind (except for Ginger, whom he loved). All of this fighting, combined with the deaths of millions and the corruption of the world they stand on, culminated in the Moonblood mages performing an ancient ritual as a last resort based on their earlier prophecy: A spell that would merge two capable souls to create an incorruptible warrior who would turn the tide of the war and finally bring peace to the land. Once the Sen-Mithrarin (born from the ashes) called Dust was generated in The Glades a year later, Ahrah was summoned over to him, catching his current Nimbat guardian, Fidget, off guard. Though she didn't understand what was happening as much as Dust himself, they both agreed to team up to uncover the truth behind the Sen-Mithrarin's creation.

Along the way, Dust had met many allies who would later become great friends of his in the timeline, including Haley, Matti, Avgustin, Mayor Bram, Shopkeeper Mordecai, Fale, and Corbin to name a few. Haley especially would become infatuated by him, sparking the start of their future relationship. In time, the trio had managed to liberate many areas of Falana from Gaius' forces, as well as Fuse and the many monsters spawned from the very nature of war itself. In Aurora Village and from the now Elder Gray Eyes, they learned that Dust was born using the essence of Jin and Cassius, two Warmbloods on opposite sides. Jin, having been a sympathizer of the Moonbloods, was targeted by the top assassin Cassius, who was close to Gaius as a great friend and right hand. Cassius slaughtered his family, leaving only Jin and his sister Ginger alive. But the brother, furious over the death of his loved ones, fought their killer one-on-one, with both fighters losing their lives in the process. Sensing this, the Moonbloods merged their souls into Dust to end the war, as he's currently doing thanks to his incorruptible nature from Jin's passion and Cassius' fighting prowess. Soon, Dust encounters Lady Tethys, who blocked off the water in the land due to being influenced from the ever worsening bloodshed. Thankfully, she was brought back to the light by the Mithrarin and Nimbat, as well as advice from Ahrah. With nature slowly being restored, all that was left was facing Gaius himself, who desperately tried to revive Cassius from Dust, but to no avail. After a hard fought battle at the volcanic battlegrounds of Everdawn where the Moonbloods were finally able to push back the General's forces, Gaius finally let go of Cassius and told Dust to cherish life before falling to his death in the lava pits below. As the magma slowly began rising, Dust was left exhausted from the fight and unable to be rescued by Fidget and Ginger in time. He smiles at the face of death, however, knowing he's saved Falana and fulfilled his mission.

### Post-An Elysian Tail and Will of the Wisps

While fading into unconsciousness, the lava around Dust strangely doesn't affect him. He's quickly teleported back to The Glades where he met Fidget and Ahrah, where the sword is once again waiting for him. At the same time, Ori's body was fully regenerated outside of Everdawn Basin, where they began bringing life back to the burnt forests despite not knowing where they are. Fidget, confusing Ori for a reborn Dust, quickly befriends the Spirit after a misunderstanding.

Unlike other games in the Gameverse, Dust and Ori became the exceptions in their timelines, not being reset due to Falana being slated as an evac site, as well as Trio being locked away. Like the Toonverse multiverse era, any time there isn't a new piece of media to follow up on the history of each world, they're simply looped back to the first game. Such was the case with Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank, where despite having points where their continuity gets muddled, they were never a cause for alarm as they would simply reset themselves.

### Disney Buyouts

The Gameverse remained largely at peace under the supervision of the Time Sweepers in spite of the disappearance of the Time Goddesses and Mina. However, around their new golden age, the Disneyverse, a neighboring universe, was beginning to purchase many properties in the real world, including gaming companies. As a result, the Blinx series was targeted by Mickey Mouse himself, but slated for termination as it wasn't profitable compared to other titles such as Halo. It wasn't without notice, however, by the Time Sweepers who quickly got to work deploying their troops to end the growing regime, seeing how Mickey was able to use a machine forcing properties to submit Disney. One of these squads deployed was Blinx's, tasked with assassinating the Mouse and give time for the Gameverse to be brought back to normal.

This, in a shocking turn of events, was actually anticipated by Mickey's Enforcers (namely the new Grand Admiral Hopps), who managed stage a full-frontal assault on the Time Factory once they learned how to access the outside flow of time and space. Made worse with the engine powering the Disneyverse doubling as a locking mechanism keeping their timeline from being tampered with. In less than 2 hours, the factory was declared a complete loss by the higher ups, forcing the CEO to make one last order for evac to Falana using their decommissioned World Ships. With the factory teleporters disabled and limited shuttles, as well as the disabling of the Mother Computer, the CEO requested the Administrator to coordinate the evacuation effort. However, doing so would mean that the Chief would have to stay behind to ensure that every personnel has vacated the facility. Despite the protests of the Administrator, he ultimately relented and dumped his brain into the central server of the cruisers to safely lead them to Falana (albeit without the use of his body). While every World Ship was being launched, the Time Factory was bombarded by the Enforcers, and the Cat-Sith quickly became lost to time as they were scattered trying to reach the evac world or stranded from their last deployment.

Very soon, the Gameverse was absorbed into the Disneyverse, and Falana, prior to the Cat-Sith entering the planet, was raided by the Enforcers as well, taking the name "Elysian" for trademark use of Mickey's engine powering his new empire. Despite Blinx's squad's efforts, they were eventually captured and all but Blinx himself were killed in the assault. Fortunately, at the behest of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey's best friend and predecessor, he was spared and brought in the former's wing. As it would turn out, Oswald himself was secretly leading a resistance against the regime seeing how Mickey had fallen from grace years ago. His main goal is to reset the timeline to pinpoint the exact moment the Mouse had turned in order to prevent the grim future from happening. Since Blinx was intimately familiar with how history works in reality, he joined.

On his first mission with the Underground, Blinx had traveled to a desolate Falana where he encountered a near fatally wounded Dust, having barely survived the surprise attacks on his planet. As the last man standing, he was rescued and repaired with as many resources as possible, augmenting the Mithrarin with sturdy cybernetics based on the schematics of Cyber Catra from the Toonverse. Although he refused to speak out of shame for the loss of his loved ones, he quickly became fond of Blinx for saving his life and holding up hope that they can restore the timeline. From here, like with Fidget, the Time Sweeper and Sen-Mithrarin would become great friends and partners with the Underground in their effort to defeat the regime.

## Regime Incident (Dark Disney)

Somewhere along the way, Dust and Barbara Gordon (AKA Batgirl) were tasked with retrieving an ancient artifact from the Toonverse' past known as the Neutron Soul Retriever. One of many similar gadgets capable of emulating the abilities of different heroes from the time they were made. Together, they found one in Elmore made for Gumball and brought it back to base before they could be detected by authorities. It's also around this time that Dust and Blinx began working with Bentley of the notorious Cooper Gang and his wife Penelope, who typically radioed them from Yakko's side of the resistance following their previous adventure with Sly in his quest to unlock his family Vault. Penelope herself would even work directly with the pair on some occasions as each heist became more challenging with the leadership of Admiral Hopps increasing security measures on all fronts. Toriel, the wife of King Asgore partly responsible for some of the repairs on Dust, would also continue to lend her support by providing food and healing in one of their headquarters.

After several raids and a few failures against the Enforcers, the Underground was forced to regroup at their main headquarters where Yakko kept his operations following a gruesome assault on one of their facilities. Fortunately, and perhaps by sheer luck, a Toonverse character from the distant past accidentally jumped forward in time when he replaced his rocket's hyperdrive with a broken one. Lost in the future, Max was found by Blinx and brought in The Underground's wing, not only learning that he can tap into the Retrievers' power thanks to his compatibility with the technology, but also learning how to fight better and helping the heroes sabotage the regime's vital operations. Although at one point the Enforcers managed to ambush Blinx, almost killing him while crippling The Undergrounds' morale through tactical manipulation (such as revealing how Oswald withheld information on everyone's fates should the timeline ever change to canon), Max's efforts proved too great for Mickey's forces to handle, inevitably leading to the heroes staging a full frontal assault on Castle Disney. At this point, him, Dust, and Blinx had become close allies on each of their missions and even led to the Mithrarin finally speaking again with confidence in his voice. The three of them, along with Oswald, personally got into the castle to confront Mickey, only to discover that he was under the manipulation of Black Hat from the Toonverse's distant past.

With reality now at risk of suffering a worse fate than ever, the three men along with Barbara, Luz, Necro King, and Primus were able to reach the Elysium Engine holding the timeline on lockdown. When they defeated Black Hat there, they then learned that the entire Disneyverse was being powered by the corpse of Bimm MaBarnacle from within the engine, having died of natural causes over a century prior yet still having a fully energized body. This form of hers was still bound by Elysium's programming and almost would've erased everyone present had it not been for Max using the fabled Final Magisword and the remaining Soul Retrievers to tap into the Spirit World, briefly resurrecting Bimm and allowing her to be rid of Black Hat and return the boy and his allies to the past to ensure this grim future never happens again.

Thanks to Blinx's immunity to changes in the timeline, being a creature born from outside of it, and the only change on Falana being that Dark Disney doesn't occur anymore, the Time Sweeper and Dust were able to return to Aurora Village where Ginger and Fidget tearfully reunited with their briefly lost hero. As for Blinx, with the destruction of the Time Factory and nowhere else to live, he decided to remain on Falana with his close friend and vows to be there whenever he's needed again. Elsewhere, Penelope was rescued by Toriel, who like her managed to avoid the change in history due to being thrown outside of time as a result of one of their missions. Seeing how the Gameverse is in need of an overseer, more than it currently has with the fracture of the Time Sweepers, Clockwork of the Toonverse proposed to have the mouse become a new timelord, which she humbly accepted.

## Pre-Dust and the Sweeper

the Gaius Remnant had begun immediately after the death of their General at the hands of Dust. Following the aftermath of both An Elysian Tail and Dark Disney, they regrouped at their capital city once home to both Warmbloods and Moonbloods to plan their next wave of attack. However, due to their limited numbers after the Battle of Everdawn, they would instead have to operate largely incognito, only making themselves known when their target is most vulnerable.

Hearing that Dust was still alive and living in Aurora Village along with his partner Fidget among other allies, the Remnant had made it their mission to finally kill them and continue where Gaius had left off. The village became the main point of interest for them, taking the guise of refugees from towns left in ruin from the war. Though this strategy didn't always work (as even the Mayor could tell when someone was affiliated with Gaius), it kept the Anti-Moonbloods lasting for a good span of time undetected. As Blinx put it, they operated like The Underground, but like them, they would eventually have to drop the act.

Blinx himself would not be recognized by the Remnant outside of a few rare moments where soldiers met him in person. This allusiveness granted him the title of "Off-Worlder" as no one who encountered him could give a good enough description apart from the fact that he seemed out of this world. Some even believed him to be a kind of Angel from Elysium responsible for rescuing Dust at his time of need (a notion that bears a nugget of truth in the grand scheme of things). As for Dust's friends, those like Ginger, Fidget, and now Haley would frequently be monitored by spies of the Remnant but were almost never bothered with primarily since they're not the main target. In one instance where they did get involved, both Haley and Dust were apprehended by the Anti-Moonbloods when they were on a stroll but escaped thanks to some quick thinking. A similar thing happened to Ginger, who was once abducted to be used as a sacrifice in a ritual to resurrect General Gaius, but this plan was thwarted from the efforts of Blinx, Dust, Fidget, and Ori.

## Dust and the Sweeper

Dust, Fidget, and Blinx the Time Sweeper defeat the last of the Gaius Remnant sometime following Dark Disney. By now, the people of Falana have vastly improved and are willing to stand against evil. But immediately after their victory, a robot of Sweeper design arrived and was dismantled by the pair. This led to an investigation by Dust and Blinx to the Advanced Regions where rumors spread of an alien race residing on the planet. And while they left to conduct the search, the fallen Moonblood Fuse returned to convert the vegetation of Aurora Village into monsters similar to the ones Ori faced on their world. It was thanks to the efforts of Lady Thethys, Fale, Fidget, Haley, Avgustin, Matti, and Ginger that the creatures were destroyed before they could cause further damage. However, this disturbance led to Tethys conducting her own investigation through the voices of Elysium.

Once Blinx and Dust arrived to the Advanced Regions, they learned that the Time Sweepers thought lost in the Regime Incident had in fact survived and evacuated to Falana as per the late CEO's instructions. Their guide, the Administrator Aegis, was converted into an AI that led them to the planet. Unfortunately, he along with the Cat-Sith were effectively enslaved by Benito, the leader of the Tom Tom Gang, who recovered the Big Crystal and used it to render all the Sweepers obsolete. This, in truth, was the result of a deal he struck with Mickey prior to the sacking of the Time Factory, filling him in on its location in exchange for leaving the pirate be. With that said, Blinx, with Dust and the other Time Sweepers' help, along with a few renegade Tom Toms, scaled the tower and gave chase to Benito, putting an end to his rule once and for all.

After all was said and done, peace was momentarily achieved before the ultimate return of the creator of the Gameverse, Trio, who was the combined form of the Time Goddesses driven insane prior to Dark Disney. Not only was she the mastermind behind Fuse's return, but she also turned out to be Lady Tethys' mother, revealing the water goddess to be Mina in disguise. Over the ages, Trio fed off the hatred and war of Falana to free herself from captivity deep beneath the world and used her magic to possess Mordecai under everyone's noses. By the time Benito was slain, Trio's plan had already been set in motion as she began terraforming the Gameverse world by world until no one was safe. Though she attempted to trap Dust, Blinx, and a few of their allies in different points in time, Tethys managed to send them to the time of Ahrah's creation, not only finding all but one of the Blades of Elysium but also learning of a hidden bunker created by the CEO protected under a partnership with the Moonbloods years ago. Using their stasis tubes, they slept until they were back in the present and returned to Aurora where the Time Sweepers and people of Falana now work together to plan against Trio and save the universe.
