The moment they moved together—
The world reacted.
Not the ground.
Not the sky.
Reality itself.
Different distortions clashed—
Danny's control.
The cold version's precision.
The other Danny's experience.
Even Ren's spatial fractures—
And Abby's crimson force—
All overlapping.
All conflicting.
All… aligning.
"…This is insane…" Ren muttered.
"No," Abby said.
A pause.
"This is necessary."
The Overseer didn't move.
Didn't panic.
Didn't react like a human would.
"—Multiple Anomalies Synchronizing—"
Its voice remained calm.
"—Threat Level Recalculated—"
A pause.
"—High—"
Danny stepped forward.
"…You finally noticing?"
The Overseer raised its hand.
"—Initiating Absolute Correction—"
The sky collapsed inward.
Not visually—
Conceptually.
Danny felt it.
"…It's not attacking…"
The other Danny's eyes widened.
"…It's rewriting the rules."
The cold version reacted instantly.
"Break formation!"
Too late.
Everything changed.
Gravity—
Gone.
Space—
Unstable.
Time—
Fragmented.
Abby stumbled—
"…What is this—?!"
Ren tried to move—
But ended up somewhere else entirely—
"…Okay, I hate this—!"
Danny looked around—
Everything was shifting—
Everyone separated—
Pulled into different layers.
The Overseer spoke again.
"—Divide—Neutralize—Reset—"
Danny clenched his fists.
"…It split us…"
A voice answered—
But not from where he expected.
"…Then we reconnect."
Danny turned.
The cold version stood nearby—
Unaffected.
"…You're still here?"
"I adapted faster."
A pause.
"…Focus."
The world flickered again.
Another version appeared—
The experienced one.
"…Don't lose awareness."
Danny steadied himself.
"…We're still connected… somehow…"
The cold version nodded.
"Exactly."
A pause.
"The system split space."
Another flicker.
Ren appeared—
Half-visible.
"…But not consciousness."
Abby's voice followed—
Distant—
"Danny—stay focused!"
Danny's breathing slowed.
"…So even if we're separated physically…"
The experienced version finished it.
"…We can still act together."
Silence.
Danny's eyes sharpened.
"…Then we don't fight in space."
A pause.
"…We fight through will."
The air trembled.
Something clicked.
The Overseer paused.
"—Unrecognized Strategy—"
Danny closed his eyes.
"…Everyone…"
A pause.
"…Focus on one thing."
Abby's voice echoed.
"What?"
Danny spoke clearly.
"…The Overseer."
Ren chuckled faintly.
"…Simple enough."
The cold version smirked slightly.
"Finally."
The experienced version nodded.
"…This is the right move."
Danny raised his hand.
Even though nothing physical responded—
Something else did.
Connection.
Across layers.
Across realities.
Across versions.
All of them—
Linked.
The Overseer reacted instantly.
"—Connection Detected—"
A pause.
"—Attempting Suppression—"
But this time—
It was too late.
Danny opened his eyes.
And spoke.
"…Now."
Everything aligned.
All versions—
All power—
All will—
Focused on one point.
The Overseer.
Reality snapped.
Not breaking—
But converging.
The layers collapsed back—
The separation undone—
Everyone returned—
At once.
And in that exact moment—
They attacked.
A combined strike.
Crimson force.
Spatial fracture.
Distortion control.
Cold precision.
Experienced guidance.
All hitting—
At the same time.
BOOOOOOOOM.
The impact shook everything.
For the first time—
The Overseer moved.
A single step back.
Silence followed.
Abby's eyes widened.
"…We moved it…"
Ren smirked.
"…Now we're talking."
The Overseer looked at them.
Not emotion.
But something else.
Processing.
"—Unexpected Outcome—"
Danny stepped forward.
"…Yeah."
A pause.
"…You didn't account for us working together."
The Overseer's head tilted slightly.
"—Correction—"
A pause.
"—Will Adapt—"
The sky darkened again.
Stronger.
More aggressive.
Danny clenched his fists.
"…Then we adapt faster."
Behind them—
The cracks still existed.
More versions still coming.
The system wasn't done.
Not even close.
But now—
For the first time—
They weren't reacting.
They were fighting back.
Together.
And that—
Changed everything.
To Be Continued.
