Alternate Universes

Reality 11275.6

Before the Current Events

• At some point, the Brains, which are radically different from the main reality ones, evolved and began their desire to do destruction. They began to desire for technology that could create robotic bodies for them, so they could build Battle Machines to continue causing destruction.
• 1,000 years ago - Unknown. Stormer from the prime reality learned about this.
• More than 100 years ago - William Furno was created in the Hero Factory's early days. Von Ness betrayed the Hero Factory by giving Black Phantom its structural plans, so Black Phantom and his group called the Legion of Darkness used the plans to destroy the Hero Factory building. The Heroes were defeated and scattered. No more batches of Heroes, including Natalie Breez, Mark Surge, Julius Nex, Nathan Evo, and Daniel Rocka, were made. Von Ness became Von Nebula and ruled much of the galaxy tyrannically, including Makuhero City. He imprisoned Akiyama Makuro. Von Nebula founded an empire of villains called the Citadel, which had an inner circle that consisted of the Legion of Darkness, XT4, and Core Hunter. He had evil robots called Jolters as his bodyguards. Von Nebula changed Makuhero City's name to "Von Nebula City".
• At some point, Preston Stormer tried to find Makuro to help him remove Von Nebula from power. Von Nebula tried to combine himself with the Black Hole Orb Staff, but Stormer stopped him, and both of them got distorted by the staff as a result. Stormer escaped and found Makuro, who rebuilt him to become better. Makuro also taught Stormer how to build vehicles called "Sky Sleds". Stormer escaped the city.
• 3 years ago - Von Nebula forced Makuro to make an Amelium cylinder. Makuro became uncooperative to Von Nebula.
• Recently, the Citadel's inner circle created a generator to test out a source of power, and they used the Amelium cylinder to make the generator.
• A day ago - Voltix captured and imprisoned Furno. Some of the Heroes, including Furno and Stringer, were imprisoned in the Citadel while the others, like Stormer, were hiding outside the city, waiting for the right time to defeat the Citadel's inner circle.

Current Events

• After the prime reality Stormer, prime reality Furno, prime reality Bulk, and prime reality Breez were accidentally taken by their sabotaged power generator to the alternate universe. They learned about the alternate universe. Von Nebula became aware of their presense. The Heroes developed a plan to get inside the Citadel's building to try to find the alternate reality's own power generator. The Heroes' presense caught the attention of the Brains, making them believe that the Heroes' reality may have the technology that the Brains were looking for, so the Brains went to find the Heroes.
• A day later - The Heroes, pretending to be a new gang of villains called "Alpha Team", ambushed Splitface and Jawblade.
• A day later - The Heroes' ambushes caught the attention of the Citadel.
• A day later - The ambushes angered the Citadel. This caused Von Nebula to send XT4 to find the Heroes. The Heroes met XT4 and told him that they want to negotiate with the inner circle. XT4 left to go back to the inner circle in the afternoon.
• 36 hours later
  • The inner circle put Jawblade in chains and showed him to the Heroes to show that they were willing to negotiate with them. Later, the Heroes went to the Citadel, where they met the inner circle. When Von Nebula discovered that one of the Heroes is Stormer, he had a group of Jolters imprison the Heroes, so he would interrogate them. However, the Heroes defeated the Jolters and went to free all of the alternate reality Heroes from the Citadel's prison.
  • The Brains arrived at the city.
  • The prime reality Heroes found the Citadel's laboratory. Stormer told the alternate reality Heroes to go fight the inner circle to avenge themselves.
  • The Brains attacked the city. The Citadel syndicate tried to defend themselves from the Brains, but the Brains went through, as they killed Splitface and Thornraxx on the way. The Brains went to the Citadel building, where they met Von Nebula. When Von Nebula asked the Brains why they were attacking the city, the Brains replied that they want the prime reality Heroes. The Brains and Von Nebula allied with each other to find the Heroes. The Brains found and defeated them. Later, Von Nebula imprisoned the Heroes and had one of the Brains read Stormer's mind to see who Stormer really is. Stormer learned who the Brains are and what they are planning. He then pretended that the Brain that read Stormer's mind made him mindless. After the Brain learned about the prime reality's Hero Factory, it told Von Nebula that Stormer is from another universe, where his Von Nebula did not start his reign and was not distorted. This shocked the alternate reality Von Nebula and made him worry that his counterpart would come find his Stormer and overthrow the alternate reality Von Nebula. The Brains told the alternate reality Von Nebula to take them to his generator to use it to get to the prime reality. Von Nebula stated that it is not complete yet and he needs to finish it, so he had the Brains wait. The Brains barred the Citadel villains from entry to the Citadel, as two of the Brains barred Core Hunter from entry to the Citadel's testing laboratory, where the generator. However, Von Nebula thought about the possibility of his prime reality Von Nebula overthrowing him, so he decided to cut the Amelium cylinder in half and took one of the halves to prevent the generator from working, betraying the Brains.
  • The Jolters threw Stormer at the Heroes. He revealed to the Heroes that he is not mindless, and then he freed them. The Heroes defeated the two Brains that were guarding the testing laboratory. When they get inside the testing laboratory, they noticed that the generator was missing a half of the Amelium cylinder, which was needed for the generator to work. Von Nebula appeared and offered them the missing half if they agreed to help Von Nebula stop the Brains from using the generator. Von Nebula took Stormer to Makuro while the other Heroes guarded the generator. Stormer convinced Makuro to help him and Von Nebula fight the Brains.
  • The Brains discovered Von Nebula's betrayal, so they attacked the Citadel again.
  • The alternate reality Furno called his Stormer through a communicator. Stormer and the other alternate reality Heroes started going to Von Nebula to finally overthrow the Citadel.
  • Makuro created a device that shoots low-emission beta waves, which can put six Brains to sleep. The prime reality Heroes, the inner circle members, and Jolters fought the Brains, as Stormer used the jammer to defeat several Brains. However, when Von Nebula saw a group of Jolters getting defeated, he took the jammer and used it on the Brains so roughly that more of the Brains came to overwhelm their enemies. However, all of the alternate reality Heroes reunited and came to help the prime reality ones defeat the Brains. Von Nebula was shocked to see his Stormer, which allowed Breez to make Von Nebula drop the jammer and then Furno to take it. During the battle, Von Nebula was so angry to see his Stormer that he tried to use the Black Hole Orb Staff to kill him, but both Stormer's shot at the staff, causing it to make Von Nebula's body fold onto itself and vanish, finally ending his reign. The Brains destroyed the inner circle and Jolters. The Heroes defeated the Brains, saving the city.
  • The prime reality Furno welded the halves of the Amelium cylinder back together and then Bulk sabotaged the generator to make ready to take the prime reality Heroes back home. The Heroes said their goodbyes to the alternate reality Stormer, alternate reality Furno, and Makuro, who plan to take down the rest of the Citadel and rebuild the Hero Factory. The alternate reality people also plan to destroy the generator after the prime reality Heroes used it, so it will not be used by invaders to come to the prime reality. The prime reality Heroes used the generator to get back to the prime reality.
