Far in the vast, infinite void of the multiverse, in the space between all spaces, there lay a massive ship that would put even a Star Destroyer to shame. Within the ship, sitting upon a shadowed throne, sat a mysterious figure as he looked on into the black (Or maybe it was a dark blue) void of the infinite. As he sat there in silent thought, a small alarm began to beep, which he seemed to perk up at. Suddenly, the door to the throne room opened and what looked to be a reptilian-cyborganic creature came rushing in before kneeling before the figure.
"Massster," The creature hissed, "Our ssscannersss picked up an anomaly."
The creature then took out a small device that projected a hologram that showed a form of map that indicated the multiverse. The map showed a group of energy signatures traveling quickly through the different universes and dimensions at near blinding speeds. The figure in its throne read the readings on the energy signatures and seemed to give a small grin, its razor sharp teeth showing in the low light.
"Finally," He said in a deep, dark, and intimidating voice before the hologram shut off. "Rancid," He said and the cyborg reptile perked up.
"Yesss, my lord?" The creature, now known as Rancid, hissed to the shadowy figure.
"Once those power signatures stop moving, trace them back to the source. Gather up a squad of Raptoids to find it. Kill anything or anyone that stands in your way," The figure ordered.
"At oncssse, Massster," Rancid said before getting up, turning around, and opening the door to gather the troops.
Once the door closed, the shadowy figure turned around to look back into the void, this time with an malicious smile on his face.
"So you're continuing where your master left off, eh, Phyllis?" He said as he began to chuckle maniacally.
-Earth 205; Echo Creek, California-
Marco was having a pretty rough day today. He woke up late for school and ended up missing the bus, was served a detention slip for his tardiness when he arrived at school, had to answer a pop quiz for Miss Skullnick's class which he completely messed up, and to top it all off Janna was harassing him with her weird, stalker-like ways. Luckily, the day was over and now he was on his way home alone since Star was having a girl's night with Janna, Jackie, and Kelly. He didn't mind that he was walking alone; quite the opposite, actually. It gave him time to reflect and think about things.
However, he was quickly brought out of his thoughts when something small and hard hit him in the back of the head.
"Ow!" He exclaimed in pain, nursing the spot that was hit. Turning around, he looked about, searching for what had hit him. He then looked down and raised an eyebrow at what he had found. Right there on the sidewalk pavement was some kind of gold coin with what looked like a giant shark on the face.
Marco picked up the coin and gave it a closer look. Marco could feel a tingling sensation coming from the coin and entering his body. He looked around, wondering where the mysterious coin came from, but he didn't see anyone or anything that would just throw a coin at him.
"This is weird, though not the weirdest thing I've seen since I met Star," said Marco as he pocketed the coin and continued on his walk home.
-Earth 312; Kadic Academy, France-
"Hmph! The nerve of those jerks!"
Sissi let out an irritated growl as she stormed into her dorm room, enraged from the latest prank that had been pulled on her by Odd and Ulrich. Said prank involved a bucket full of paint dropped on her head which was then followed by feathers being thrown in her face. To add insult to injury, Odd posted the footage of the prank online for the whole campus to see. While the principal's daughter wouldn't admit she did anything to deserve this, the truth of the matter was that the reason behind said prank was because the popular girl had attempted to once again follow Ulrich and his friends to wherever they kept running off to instead of going to class.
This wasn't the first time they had done this, either. They kept sneaking off more times than she could count, and ever since Odd's "cousin", Aelita, had shown up, their little vanishing acts had only increased. From the times she had successfully eavesdropped on the group, she had once heard that they were heroes, but of what? Video games was her best guess, but even then, she knew that was a stretch. If they really were heroes of…whatever it was, then was that why she was never accepted into their group? Because if that was the case, then they'd be right. Sissi Delmas was by no means a hero. However, if given the chance, she was certain she'd be up for the task.
It was then that she noticed a small coin sitting on her desk. Thinking that it was another gift of love from Herb or Nicholas, she walked over to pick it up and promptly throw it in the trash. However, the moment she held it in her hand, she felt this sudden rush of energy course through her veins, like she was suddenly reinvigorated.
"W-what is this thing?" she asked herself, clearly stunned.
The coin began to glow pink in her hand, as if life had been breathed into it. However, as soon as the feeling came to her, it ceased, going back to just being a "normal" coin. Clearly interested and frankly fascinated by the piece of fancy currency, Sissi decided to pocket the coin and examine it later.
-Earth 422; Gravity Falls, Oregon-
The day in Gravity Falls had begun like always; something weird happened in the woods, but no one really paid much attention to it. Everyone had gotten used to the strangeness that lived within the boundaries of the mountain town.
Sadly the same could not be said by a certain excitement depraved, redheaded lumberjack.
Wendy Corduroy had just gotten out of her classroom and she was still bored. Ever since the events of the past summer things had been going so slow. Wendy missed the adventure that she had been part of along with the Pines twins, Mabel and Mason (aka Dipper). She especially missed the young male twin as she remembered the times they spent together over the summer. In her reminiscing, she lifted her left hand to Dipper's blue pine tree hat atop her head, smiling warmly at the feelings that it gave her.
As she walked through the woods in the direction of her house, something caught her attention out the corner of her eye. She quickly glanced at the woods nearby and a smile morphed on her lips as a small shiny thing glowed with the sun.
Wendy went up to the origin of the reflected light and saw a somewhat large gold coin with a Wooly Mammoth on the face of it. She knelt down to pick it up and once it was in her hand she began to dust it off. Once the dirt was all off the coin, she saw that the sun's light seemed to give the coin a greenish glint. Wendy soon began to feel something course within her. She now felt full of energy and wanted nothing but some fun.
"I don't know what this is, but I feel like doing some cross-country," said Wendy, putting the coin in the breast pocket of her green shirt.
Wendy got down into a runners starting position and gave herself a mental countdown before shooting straight through the trees as she ran like a wild, fiery-haired Amazon. She jumped towards a large branch and used the kinetic energy to do a loop before releasing her grip and rolling onto the ground. She then sprinted once more through the forest, filled with the same freedom she felt in the summer of craziness.
"I. Freakin'. Love this!" Screamed Wendy as she ran.
Before she knew it, she was standing over a cliff that overlooked nearly the entire town of Gravity Falls. She took in a large breath of air, not even tired from the effort she had just put in. She took out the coin from her pocket and looked at the face. Whatever this thing was, she liked it.
-Universe 131; Atmos-
In the massive, mountaintop-riddled world of Atmos, The Condor flew through the sky at great speed, following something. Inside the carrier ship, the Storm Hawks were ready to ride out on their skimmers.
Earlier that day, the Storm Hawks had detected some sort of strange, powerful energy signature and were currently chasing after it in hopes of finding out what it was, and more importantly, to keep it from the hands of the Cyclonians and their nefarious master.
"Are we there yet?" asked Finn, the sharpshooter of the team, sounding a bit bored.
"Almost, Finn. Get ready to roll out," said Aerrow, the Sky Knight and leader of the team, as the doors of the hangar bay opened.
As soon as the massive doors opened before them, Finn, Aerrow, and Piper rode out on their skimmers into the open sky. The three flew down onto a small, circular terra with a few scattered trees and rock formations where the energy signature had apparently stopped. Finn, being the cocky danger magnet that he was, revved up his skimmer and sped toward the terra, knowing full well that the faster they did this, the faster they'd be back at the Condor.
"Finn, slow down! We don't know what's down there," called out Piper to the sharpshooter.
"And the faster we get down there, the faster we'll find out," Yelled Finn back to the tactician of their team.
"He's not wrong," added Aerrow with a chuckle, getting a grunt of annoyance from Piper.
The three young Sky Knights had arrived at the terra and so far nothing seemed to stand out. The few trees that were on the terra didn't appear to be anything special, nor did the rock formations. The team had split up, hoping to cover more ground in less time. Finn was looking through the rocky, mountainous part of the small stretch of land to see if anything was among the bits of sediment, but nothing looked to be capable of emitting such power.
"I think Piper gave me a broken detector. According to this dumb thing the source of energy should be right in front of me," said Finn, looking at the detector and giving it a good whack with his palm to sure it wasn't on the fritz.
Just then, Finn kicked over a piece of rubble, revealing to the wingman a golden, shining light. Finn looked closer and found that it was a golden coin with what appeared to be a prehistoric bird forged on it. Curiosity overtaking him, Finn grabbed it and immediately felt a surge of energy within him before it passed. He then heard his scanner go off and found that it was going nuts, indicating that the coin was the source of the strange energy.
"Wicked," said Finn with a smirk as he headed back to meet up with his friends.
Shortly after finding his squadron mates, Finn showed them the strange coin.
"This doesn't make any sense," Aerrow said in slight confusion, "Coins are usually made of gold or precious metal, why would it emit such a great source of power?"
"I have no idea, but I'm going to find out," said Piper as she grabbed hold of the coin, only for a powerful shock to strike her, forcing her to drop the oversized coin.
"Ow! That coin just shocked me!" said Piper, holding her hand.
"That's weird, it doesn't shock me," said Finn, picking up the coin.
"Then we better take it back to the Condor to examine it. There's no telling what this thing can do," said Aerrow before they all got back on their skimmers and rode out of the terra.
-Universe 195; Norrisville, Norrisville High, USA-
The halls of Norrisville High were teeming with all sorts of students, each of which were going about their usual business. To most, this would be the norm, but to a certain girl it was her own personal invisible treatment.
Theresa Fowler walked through the hallway right next to her best friend and resident snoop, Debbie Kang, and Theresa couldn't help but sigh constantly as people just passed her by and no one noticed her existence.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" called out Debbie to a passing student that bumped passed them, "Why are you so gloomy about, Theresa?"
"What can I tell you, Deb? Aside from you, no one really knows I exist, much less that I'm a real person. It always seems like there is something more important and I fade into the background," said Theresa as the two walked towards their lockers.
"Well, monsters and giant robots attacking the school do tend to get more attention because they are destroying stuff," said Debbie as she opened her locker.
"That's not it. We're about to end our first year of high school and I feel that I haven't done anything to be remembered by. I mean does anyone besides you and Randy even know my name?" asked Theresa, pressing her head on her locker.
It could've been an exaggeration, but Theresa wasn't wrong. Throughout their first year, her relevance or existence had slowly gotten smaller and smaller to the point that she could've been a background character of a cartoon or a TV show. Even her crush seemed to have forgotten about her, always seeming to be busy with other things or having his nose stuck in that weird book of his.
Theresa really wanted to do something to get back into people's minds and not just be some piece of scenery.
At that moment, she opened her locker and found something odd sitting on the shelf in her locker. There, before Theresa, was a golden coin with what appeared to be a prehistoric creature, a wooly rhino if she had to guess.
"How did this thing get in here?" asked Theresa as she looked at the coin and felt some sort of strange feeling course through her before abruptly ending.
Just then, the bell rang, signaling that people had to get to class. Theresa put the coin in her bag and headed to class, not thinking much of it, unaware that that coin would grant her wish, but not in a way that she expected.
