The Universal Plan/F4CT0RY 01

The Universal Plan Saga

The F4CT0RY_01 arc takes place following the end of the Jaakkon War arc and is the first arc in the Universal Plan Saga and the 29th story arc overall.

Everyone Makes Their Move: The Escape from Jaakkon
Brad the Lad discusses with the rest of the Ramianers what to do, and they decide to murder the Krei Resurrection Team while they're still weakened, before they get to full strength and try to attack again. Brad the Lad goes to the Light Void Master to ask his opinion on the matter, and he agrees, saying that a move like that would finally put Jaakkon at peace. Brad the Lad returns to the Ramianers to tell them that they will strike at 23:30 the following night.

At the Krei Resurrection Team's base, Maiden asks Tona what they should do, as they are weakened and they could be ambushed at any time. Tona tells him that they just have to wait and be prepared. Manipulation Man tells Tona that he has received a message from Roremon telling Tona something important. After reading it, Tona is amazed that Roremon found the Meizeik he was looking for. He tells the others that he needs to get to it as soon as possible and that it is being distributed by F4CT0RY_01, but Querv tells Tona that F4CT0RY_01 is funded by some very powerful people who would kill Tona if he messed up their business. Tona says that he cannot afford to lose the Meizeik, however, and that he needs to get it very soon. He then tells the others if he travels there, he will be followed there by the Ramianers. If he took the Meizeik and escaped they would fall into his trap and get blamed and hunted down across the universe. Tona says that they will have to make their move very soon, however, or else all of the Meizeik will have already been dispatched, so he says he will leave to go there at 23:30 that night.

Mustard also wants Tona's group dead for their crimes, as do the Natural Idea Group, so they decide to team up and go to attack the Krei Resurrection Team at 1:00am with the knowledge that they're at their weakest now. The next night, at 23:30 both the Krei Resurrection Team and the Ramianers leave their bases and clash in the middle of the battlefield. Tona makes a break for it and the rest of the Krei Resurrection Team try to fend them off long enough for Tona to get off the planet. Manipulation Man reminisces that Tona told him if the Ramianers came to F4CT0RY_01 too soon, everything would be messed up as he would not be able to take the Meizeik and he could be either killed, badly wounded or blamed for breaking into F4CT0RY_01. Manipulation Man tells Querv to hold them off for as long as possible so he, Maiden and Arengeit can get to F4CT0RY_01 to help Tona. Maiden, Manipulation Man and Arengeit escape the planet, while Querv manages to hold back the Ramianers. Brad the Lad tells them that they already know where they're going since all of the ships are connected to the same database that the Pet Finders have access to. The Natural Idea group and Mustard's group then arrive, as do the rest of the Ramianers, and Querv realises he's completely outnumbered. He tries to run and get into his own ship, but Brad the Lad smashes the glass and pulls him out after he turned on the engine. He then tries to take on Ivy, but she throws him into the engine of the ship, incinerating the upper half of his body. All of the groups there decide to team up to kill the Krei Resurrection Team.

Tona and the Krei Resurrection Team arrive
Tona then arrives on the icy planet F4CT0RY_01 is found on. After breaking into the factory, he is quickly surrounded by armed workers, but he easily defeats them. Garrent tells Tona, over the intercom, that F4CT0RY_01 has some very high connections and they will hunt him down and put his head on a stick if he messed up their businesses. Tona tells him that he's just after the Meizeik and then he'll be on his way, and that he will frame his activities in F4CT0RY_01 on someone else. Garrent tells Tona that F4CT0RY_01 specializes in fake Zeikronams, like how F4CT0RY_04 specializes in disease curing drugs or how F4CT0RY_26 specializes in holograms. He says if his Meizeik stock was taken, he'd be hunted down, as would Tona. Tona tells him that he'll just destroy F4CT0RY_01 if that's the case, and begins fighting more of the workers.

Meanwhile, the Light Void Master checks the database and reveals that Tona has travelled to F4CT0RY_01. Brad the lad says that F4CT0RY_01 is not under their jurisdiction and that they can clean up their own problems, but Rawr and Mustard believe that the Pet Finders' public image will massively go down if they cannot take care of their own problems. Ivy sticks up for Brad the lad and says that whoever trespasses in F4CT0RY_01 will be mercilessly punished by their funders, but the Light Void Master tells them that he can provide legal protection and that he can clear anything up if the Ramianers are blamed for trespassing in F4CT0RY_01. Brad the Lad decides to take a vote, but he is outnumbered and they decide that they will also go to F4CT0RY_01.

Tona has finally arrived at the control room in F4CT0RY_01 and speaks with Garrent. Garrent agrees not to take any legal action against Tona, not to give away Tona and not to attack Tona if Tona stops smashing up the factory. Tona then decides to take a stroll around the factory to see if he can find the complete Meizeik substance ready to be shipped to other planets. The rest of the Krei Resurrection Team are nearing the planet Discie-Disco is located on, and Manipulation Man and Maiden discuss whether or not Tona will be happy to see them and if Querv is okay. Arengeit is sure that Tona will be happy to see her, though Maiden and Manipulation Man disagree.

The Ramianers, the Natural Idea Group and Mustard's Group are on their way to F4CT0RY_01. Brad the Lad tells the others about how he always used to hear about governments in outer planets problems and how they were corrupt as a child, while Jaakkon's Pet Finders never were. He then talks about how all corrupt governments used to use F4CT0RYs 01-50 for their illegal purchases, and how all F4CT0RYs should really be eradicated. Ivy agrees and they begin discussing what should be done with F4CT0RY_01 after they have defeated the Krei Resurrection Team. They decide they will eradicate the F4CT0RY and put the planet it is on under the Pet Finders' Protection.

On Jaakkon, the Light Void Master receives sudden warning that there is a stir near the main Pet Finder building. When he sends Pet Finders, he discovers that they are powerful darkness warriors. When they are defeated, he realises that they are not high ranking darkness warriors, but the normal lowly darkness grunts, and he is lead to believe that the darkness is slowly evolving.

The rest of the Krei Resurrection Team arrive and go on a massacre. Garrent is once again horrified by the actions of the intruders and tells them to also stop. When Tona realises that there are others here, he hopes that they're not the Ramianers, but realises he has to speed up if he's to take back the Meizeik. The Krei Resurrection Team take no notice of Garrent and continue causing as much mayhem as they can. Garrent knows that if he cannot get his investors the Meizeik they desire, he will be slaughtered, and that this is the worst possible outcome of events. He checks the security cameras and realises that the only workers left are those hiding in safe houses. If he does not get the Meizeik out by the deadline, it really will be a deadline. Tona runs into the rest of the Krei Resurrection Team and they tell him that they're there so they can quickly and efficiently finish the job prior to the Ramianers getting there. Tona tells them that Garrent has offered them protection if they don't mess anything up, but Maiden says it's a bit late for that now. Tona knows he must find the Meizeik quickly before the Ramianers and their allies catch up.

The Ramianers use a unstable speed boost on their ship so they can get to the Krei Resurrection Team before they leave the planet. The speed boost breaks the engine, and everyone on it has to evacuate before the ship hits into a mountain made of ice and explodes. Brad the Lad asks where F4CT0RY_01 is, but Cyclo-Jess tells him that because of it's illegal operations, it must be somewhat hidden, and is probably underneath the ice. Voidling climbs up a small pile of ice and tells everyone that there is a huge crater with a large metal dome inside visibly close, so they go to check it out. Tona's ship is located nearby, so they destroy it. The only way in is a seemingly forced entrance, presumably by Tona so they also go in. Rawr and Peri say that they will go and take F4CT0RY_01's incriminating evidence, and use it to take down the F4CT0RY system, the Ramianers, along with Mustard and the Darp, say that they will go and catch the Krei Resurrection Team, while Beri, Eri, Geri, Iri, and Neri say that they will go and clear out all of the F4CT0RY workers, Chairfox will guard the exit, and the rest of the Peris say they will figure out the layout of the labyrinth-like factory.

The Ramianers and their allies arrive: all out battle!
Drip-Drop tells the others that, even though the Krei Resurrection Team are weak, they should be careful how they approach them, as they have been shown to have an abnormal healing rate after battles previously. Mustard says that Darp can take them however powerful they are, but Brad the Lad is not so sure, as all four of them together could be a hard challenge. Ivy says that they are in a larger group than the Krei Resurrection Team, so it shouldn't be hard. Cyclo-Jess, says that Arengeit is very weak and should be easy to take, while Brad the Lad could probably beat Manipulation Man. BRAIN-A.E3 says that he can monitor them to see their current strength, as they have actually improved, not been weakened. Matt the Gun tells BRAIN-A.E3 that the Darp could take Tona, Cyclo-Jess could take Arengeit and Brad could take Manipulation Man while the rest of them, working together, could easily defeat Maiden, and if not the Darp could defeat Maiden as well as Tona. BRAIN-A.E3 continues thinking of the worst possible outcome while Matt the Gun believes that his theory is correct and it will all go according to his plan. Drip-Drop tells both of them to shut up as if they continue acting like this they will get no work at all done.

Beri, Eri, Geri, Iri and Neri are curious to why they cannot find any F4CT0RY_01 workers. When they open the next door, in the middle of the room is a pile of dead F4CT0RY_01 workers, and Geri passes out. Eri is horrified and realises that the Krei Resurrection Team must have done this, but they realise that if they start from there they can follow a trail to get to them. Beri picks up Geri and they all go to find the Ramianers to tell them of their new discovery. Meanwhile, Garrent is watching from the security cameras, realising that the worst possible outcome has just happened, he tries to figure out the best route to take to get them all off his property. He then remembers the three renegade scientists that used to work there. While he would work on fake Zeikronams, one would work on zombies, another would work with gasses, and the last would try to create drugs to control people. Garrent decides the scenario isn't so bad that he needs to use them, and that he can really just wait until they leave and then hire some new workers, as all they've really damaged so far are some of the security cameras and speakers.

Rawr and Peri are on their way to F4CT0RY_01's files. Rawr hopes that the files will show the proof that F4CT0RY_01 has connections to the black market and the illegal underworld of Universe 1. Peri says that if they can print off the files, he can travel through the paper and find the most necessary information to take the F4CT0RYs down. They then cross paths with the other Peris whom tell them that they're trying to map the entire labyrinth-like factory, but they think that there is a lower floor but cannot find a way down. Rawr tells them that he has no idea how to get down and move on towards the files. The Peris also continue on their way, unbeknownst that they are being followed. When they reach a dead end, they turn around, but are blocked by Manipulation Man's Control Cortunni. Manipulation Man then uses his Control Caijjin on them, and makes them go and follow Rawr and Peri in the hopes of killing them.

Meanwhile, Maiden and Tona are arguing. Now Tona has smashed a hole in F4CT0RY_01, it's beginning to reach freezing temperature, and Maiden is telling Tona he'll get hypothermia if he doesn't wear a coat. Tona refuses however, and they start fighting, though Tona easily wins. Maiden tries to force Tona to wear a coat, however, but Tona screams and runs away. Now only Arengeit is with Maiden, so he tells her to stay there while her goes off to explore, but when he does, she also goes to search for Tona. Tona is still running, thinking Maiden is chasing him, and destroying everything his runs past and into. Garrent realises that F4CT0RY_01 is on it's last legs and perhaps it's time. He releases some of Dr Zeroe's experimental zombies to deal with all of the chaos happening, hoping that they are safe enough to be used and will not turn against him as well.

Maiden walks into Beri, Eri, Iri, Neri and the unconscious Geri, and they get ready to fight him. Though their strength does surprise him, he beats them all, before telling them that he would have let them walk right past him if they'd tried, before continuing onwards into the factory. Meanwhile, all of the Ramianers are in a big argument. BRAIN-A.E3 is still believing the worst outcome will happen, while Matt the Gun is sure they will easily be able to defeat them. Drip-Drop is fed up of their 'nonsense' and wants them to shut up and just find them. Ivy and Cyclo-Jess think that Drip-Drop should shut up, too, and that whatever happens will happen and there's nothing they can do about it. Brad the Lad disagrees with that, as he believes that they can change the outcome and everything relies on them, and if they don't change what will happen, they will lose. Mustard and Darp have left them, even though the Ramianers haven't noticed, because they got fed up of their arguing. Mustard suddenly sees something move down the corridor, and they go to follow it.

Unknown to anyone, on the same planet as F4CTORY_01, Zeta had gathered an army of the citizens of the elemental islands and given them all tavanigigs. Her real intent was to use the citizens as sacrifices to summon a new more powerful 27. She and her army surround the mountains towards the left side of F4CTORY_01.

Rawr and Peri have got to the computer containing all of the files, but before they can get to them, they need to hack to security of F4CT0RY_01. Rawr tries to figure something out, but Peri tells him that the F4CT0RYs are the biggest manufacturer of illegal produce, and that they have no chance of getting into it. Rawr wonders if the Pet Finders can hack into it, and if they can get a connection to the Light Void Master to get into the data. The door then opens and the Peris, being controlled by Manipulation Man enter, trying to kill Rawr and Peri. Rawr attacks Manipulation Man, be he just dodges. Manipulation Man then stops controlling the Peris and tells Rawr that he has no orders to attack any of them, and he will hack into the computer if Rawr so wishes. Rawr tells him that he doesn't trust him, and Rawr, Peri and all of the other Peris go to attack him, but he defends himself with a Control Cortunni and walks away. Peri says that that was a peculiar encounter, and that that must mean Tona does not actually want them to be attacked. Rawr realises that Tona actually wants them to take the blame, and he goes to find Brad the Lad to tell him this.

The Ramianers have stopped arguing and are now looking for the Darp and Mustard. They instead find Tona and Arengeit, both of whom are out of breath after running around F4CT0RY_01. Brad the Lad think they are out of breath because they have been in a fight with Mustard and the Darp, so they think that they must have went this way and also that Tona and Arengeit are weak. Brad the Lad, Matt the Gun, BRAIN-A.E3 and Ivy go to fight Tona while Cyclo-Jess and Drip-Drop go to fight Arengeit. Suddenly, a giant mutant, about four times the height of everyone appears behind Tona and Arengeit, and the Ramianers stop. When Tona realises that it's behind him, he kills it with one punch and then tells the Ramianers that he doesn't have time to fight them, and that he has to get off the planet as soon as possible, before disappearing. BRAIN-A.E3 tells everyone to wait as he examines the body of the mutant along with Drip-Drop. He says that it's made up of lots of different mutated carcasses, and it's more of a zombie than anything else. Voidling asks where it came from, but Drip-Drop says it's unknown. Cyclo-Jess tells them just to follow the trail of destruction it caused, which no-one else noticed.

The Darp and Mustard are going against 20 of the mutated zombies at once, but the Darp can easily defeat each one with one punch from his second form. Mustard wonders what they are and where they came from, and notices that one has their skin infused with Seiboi and they also have the eyes of an eagle. Mustard says that whoever created them must be a psychopath. As more of the zombies begin pouring in from the lower floor, an all out battle ensures. Brad the Lad, Ivy, Voidling and Matt the Gun manage to defeat one while working together, and BRAIN-A.E3 looks at this one and notes that it was made completely differently to the first one. More of the zombies begin piling into the corridor, but, after defeating eight more, the Ramianers are forced to defeat. Manipulation Man runs into Maiden and together they kill one and continue through F4CT0RY_01, but they begin to get cornered by them. As the zombies begin to fill up F4CT0RY_01, Garrent is happy that his attempted massacre seems to be working, and everyone is getting cornered by the zombies. Though he still thinks that Dr Zeroe's experiments were unethical and mass producing zombies like this instead of Meizeik would not have worked, he is still happy that they're still there. He has run out of the zombies, however, and as the Darp keeps defeating more, he faces the reality that he is well out of his depth and that the intruders are like nothing he's seen before. When he has no zombies left, he decides that there is nothing he can do, and just waits for them to take the Meizeik and leave. He remembers the three exiled scientists, but he knew that, even if they could defeat the threat upon F4CT0RY_01, he wouldn't be able to control them or their unethical experiments, either.

Rotnum and the study time zombies have infiltrated a lookout tower with the help of The Pet Finders, out of which they can see Zeta with her army of powerful elementals. Tutbum, Rotnum's second in command, turns to Rotnum and tells him they should probably warn everyone else of the coming threat, but Rotnum tells him that they have their own problems and it's the study time zombies' job to take care of this. Mysteriously, in the distance, a portal opens. Out of the portal comes Spoof, Grapezilla, Chubby man (the Kaijus) and a horde of light warriors. They engage in battle with a portion of the elementals. Rotnum and the study time zombies smash through the window and join the fight.

As the zombies quickly get overwhelmed, Brad the Lad runs into the Darp again and tells Mustard that they found Tona and Arengeit, but the zombies arrived and they got away. Rawr also arrives and asks Brad the Lad to get a connection with the Light Void Master. When they are connected, Rawr asks the Light Void Master to hack into F4CT0RY_01's security and get him into their private files. The Light Void Master tells Rawr that, while the F4CT0RYs may be corrupt, they have no right to hack into their security, and the only reason they came there was to apprehend Tona and the rest of the Gondilie Force. The connection is cut, but BRAIN-A.E3 says that he can probably figure something out. Rawr then realises that they have other scientists on Jaakkon and asks Brad the Lad to connect him to Duck McDuck. Though Brad is against the idea, he does so anyway, and Rawr speaks with Duck McDuck. Duck McDuck says that he can hack into the security network easily if they go and bring him to the room in which the computer is being held. They return there and are greeted by Peri and his fellow versions. Duck McDuck hacks the security network and all of the files are opened. Rawr thanks the Ramianers and the other Peris, and they all leave. Rawr then prints off the files and gives them to Peri for him to merge into.

Garrent receives an emergency warning that the files are being hacked. He decides that he doesn't have any chance at survival if these files get out, as his sponsors will hunt him down and make him mincemeat. He then unlocks the final three cells in the downstairs isolation prison, releasing Zeroe, the zombie manufacturer, Gaseous, the gas manufacturer and Kottington, the manipulation manufacturer.

Meanwhile, the battle between Zeta and her army, Spoof and his small army, and the study time zombies is quickly ended by an earthquake which swallows most of the smaller troops whole. Looking down it is revealed that the earthquake was caused by yet another portal opening, this time to the cyber dimension. The rubble and troopers (including Rotnum's entire squad) are turned into code and vanish. Rotnum stops his fighting and asks Zeta if she knows what on Jaakkon is going on. Zeta consults her list, and says that a suddon cyber dimension portal opening may have something to do with an unauthorised hack of private files. Spoof then offers Zeta and Rotnum the opportunity to 'become one big army to smash all the competition'. Zeta and Rotnum accept and they travel back through the portal opened by spoof.

The Renegade Scientists Return: Desperate Situation
All of F4CT0RY_01 is put under high alert as the three scientists are released. The workers hiding in the safe houses try to escape, knowing that if the scientists are released, their deaths won't be soon to follow. Rawr hears the sound of more of the zombies and he warns Peri, telling him that they should get out of there and just leave the papers, as they could come back to get them later. Arengeit spots a green gas coming towards her and Gondilie, so Tona decides that they'd best be moving since F4CT0RY_01 is now out to kill them. Drip-Drop, Cyclo-Jess and BRAIN-A.E3 are confused by what they see however; lots of women wearing hazmat suits dancing. Leading them is a young women wearing a cat onesie, which confuses the Ramianers even more. The young women introduces herself as Kottington, pioneer in psychology, and owner of a Tavanigi that allows her to change the gender of people, as she is an infinity creature. Those with weak wills are also controlled by her Tavanigi while those with strong wills just change gender, with no change to their mind-set. That led her to try and manipulate people. She then slices at them with her cat claws, telling them that they will be her next victims, but Brad the Lad deflects the attack and tells the others to run. She tells him, however, that the workers whom she changed genders all also have weak wills, so they work for her now, as the feminized workers begin chasing after the other Ramianers. She continues slicing at him with her claws before he slices back and almost cuts her, but she dodges and tries to use her Tavanigi. She then warns him that no-one has ever won against her and that, as an infinity creature, she has a lot of strength, before overpowering Brad and throwing him to the floor. He continues to fight back, but she cuts him down the chest and tries to use her Tavanigi again.

Tona then arrives and believes Kottington is on his side, as she has knocked out Brad the Lad. She then gets up, thinking he has come to fight her, but he thanks her instead. Brad the Lad then blacks out, and Tona goes to give Kottington a high-five for all of her hard work. She thinks that it will be an easy way to change Tona's gender, but Tona misses the high-five and accidentally trips her up, knocking her out on the floor. Tona apologizes, and Arengeit comes in, as does Maiden. When Maiden tells him to wear a coat, Tona screams and trips up Arengeit while running away, knocking her out on the floor as well. When Brad the Lad awakes, he is happy to still be the same gender, and sees Arengeit's unconscious body lying face down on the floor. When he sees it, he thinks she's feminized Tona and that she is dead, so he leaves her alone and goes off trying to find the other Ramianers, not seeing Kottington's unconscious body as well.

Meanwhile Zeroe has got his hands on some workers and has them in the underground isolation cells. He takes one out and begins experimenting on one to create a zombie. He explains to them that, once, a very long time ago, he killed an infinity creature and gained a Tavanigi as a result. That Tavanigi allows him to modify people's bodies at will. He cuts off the worker's arm with his scalpel but it does not bleed, and he tells him that he can modify people's bodies in all sorts of ways, such as making someone a living safe, as he opens himself up and reveals many surgical tools and body parts, and puts his hand in to grab a stick of plutonium. He tells the worker how he thought everyone would go crazy for his idea and that he thought he could mass produce it there at F4CT0RY_01. Unfortunately, his boss, Garrent, deemed his experiments unethical, and he was locked in the isolation cells beneath F4CT0RY_01, along with all of his unholy creations. He then puts the stick of plutonium inside the decapitated arm and cuts off the worker's other arm only to do the same to that one. He goes on to tell the worker how he can edit the way the body reacts to radiation and mutates, as well as how human body parts can be reattached. As the worker begins to cry, Zeroe tells him how he thought the rich would pay billions for his creations as they could be used as bodyguards or pets. He then uses his tavanigi to reattach the worker's limbs, and he suddenly begins to mutate to twice the size. Zeroe goes on, saying how he also thought the rich would pay billions to have a butler who could open himself up and give you your belongings. He then cuts of the mutated worker's head and puts it inside him, and takes and a koala's severed head and replaces it with that. He then talks about how the discovery of liquid Seiboi also helped his creations, as he injects it into the worker, turning it's skin grey. He finally talks about how Kottington's serum she invented was vital in keeping the zombies in line, and he injects that into the zombie's head, before letting it walk upstairs. He then looks at all of the other locked-up workers and tells them that he's going to have lots of fun.

Spoof, Zeta and Rotnum have arrived in the sub-space port, in Rawr's home town. Boxy the boxer is running wild with all of his minions, everything is on fire. Spoof and Zeta quickly sort this out, but Rotnum has an old alliance with boxy and turns on Spoof, stabbing him in the back. The dark wolf inside of Spoof is released and starts attacking Zeta, but 5 fire elemental warriors, and 2 ice elemental warriors defend Zeta. Zeta talks about how battle seems to follow you everywhere in this galaxy.

As Brad the Lad continues through F4CT0RY_01, looking for the other Ramianers, he goes into a corridor full of green gas. In which a silhouette begins to shoot at him, the gas makes him nauseous and he backs out of the corridor, drunkenly blocking the bullets with his sword. Brad is told by the silhouette that he is Gaseous, one of the three renegade scientist, and warns Brad to get out of there before his gas overruns the building. Brad nauseously asks why he is telling him that, but Gaseous just tells him that all he wants to do is return home, and he does not actually want to kill anyone. Brad runs, but passes many dead workers who succumbed to the gas. He knows that if he does not get out of the gassed area quickly, he will die and continues running, thinking about what Gaseous said. He cannot believe that someone who does not enjoy death would kill this many, but he knows he does not have time to think about that and ploughs through the green fog.

Garrent has re-entered the room housing the computer with all of F4CT0RY_01's data. All of the papers they printed off have been left on the floor after Rawr and Peri ran away from the mutant zombies. Garrent uses a flamethrower to burn the papers before blowing up the computer and running from the burning room and locking the door. He hopes Gaseous does not go in there, as his gas is flammable and it will blow up all of F4CT0RY_01. Meanwhile, Chairfox has still been left at the exit of F4CT0RY_01 and has gotten bored, so he decides to explore. He crosses paths with the Peris who are looking for Beri, Eri, Geri, Iri and Neri before trying to escape. Chairfox decides to go with them and hopefully find the Darp and Mustard on the way. As they traverse through F4CT0RY_01, they come face-to-face with one of Zeroe's mutated zombies, but, together, they manage to beat it. Ori tells them that he will travel through the walls to find them but Seri says that they should all stick together as it is safer in the environment they are in. Uri complains about the amount of space there is as he has been crawling through the corridors and Leri says that he is probably blocking off their oxygen supply by filling up the corridor. Yeri becomes terrified and breaks into tears while Seri tries to comfort him. Keri tells them that F4CT0RY_01 is a dangerous place and they should keep their wits about them while they travel through the labyrinth, especially considering its sponsors, while Qeri retorts that Peri corp. is probably one of them. Jeri tells them to stop arguing but Feri pushes him away and tries to stir up controversy to keep them arguing for his own amusement. Reri punches Feri and all of the Peris go all out at each other, leading Chairfox to leave them behind and look for the Darp and Mustard on his own.

As Peri and Rawr continue running, Peri said that he found a substantial amount of information, yet there was still more to be found and he needed to return to the papers as soon as possible to finish his evidence file on F4CT0RY_01. He said while he was in the papers, he was cut short as the 2D blue squiggly thing entered the papers and said that he had been hired by a rich bloke to stop anyone entering the confidential papers, just before Peri left the papers. Rawr questions how many links the F4CT0RY system has in the underworld.

The residents of the cyber dimension are confused. Why did over 200 armed soldiers just attempt to enter their dimension? 010001110101, the king of the cyber dimension, remembered he struck a deal with a mad scientist who owned a factory. A deal that meant he had the right to open the cyber dimension whenever he got hacked. He realises he made a deal with a slightly shifty bloke and sends an army to take revenge.

Mustard and the Darp continue beating up the mutant zombies, and they decide to find out where they're coming from. They beat their way to the elevator and go down, curious what they'll find. Beneath F4CT0RY_01 lies an experimental hell laboratory, used to test what F4CT0RY_01 produces. The place is mainly composed of jail cells, that used to house Kottington, Gaseous, Zeroe and his zombies. Brad the Lad also runs down there, asking where they are. Mustard tells them that they're on the lower floor, where it seems Zeroe still is. Brad the Lad tells them that Kottington is on the upper floor and has a tavanigi that can change people's genders to make them weaker. He also says that Gaseous, the last renegade scientist, hunted him down to there. Mustard says that that must mean Gaseous is also on the floor and Brad didn't notice that he'd went down to the lower floor. Brad tells them that he has no idea where the other Ramianers are, but Mustard says that it doesn't matter as they'll find them eventually. Brad also points out that if Gaseous is on this floor, they will be the first to be gassed by him and that they should get away, but Mustard says that Gaseous is located somewhere close to an entrance to the upper floor, thus how Brad ran into him without realising he had descended further into Garrent's nightmarish hell. That means both floors would fill with gas at roughly the same time. Mustard says that they need to take care of both of the renegade scientists without lighting the gas and then get out of there. Brad the Lad agrees and all three of them split up.

The rest of the Ramianers are also unknowingly on the lower floor. Voidling points out that everywhere they've seen has been new and that this must be a completely different part of F4CT0RY_01, but BRAIN-A.E3 says that that is not true, and they were certainly in the same location as earlier, as pointed out by his map. Cyclo-Jess tells them to move it as she's beginning to feel nauseous and Ivy says the same. Matt the Gun is about to shoot at something he thought moved but Drip-Drop quickly tells him to stop as he realises they are being surrounded by a gas. BRAIN-A.E3 theorizes that, when being chased by Kottington's minions, they ran downstairs without noticing. Thus, they are underneath the map and above them is the place they want to be. Voidling tells him to say where the exit is to get upstairs but BRAIN-A.E3 says that he doesn't know and that they're probably going to be trapped down there for life, leading Cyclo-Jess to tell him to stop being so pessimistic. Their route is suddenly blocked by one of Zeroe's zombies which attacks them. Matt the gun goes to shoot at it but BRAIN-A.E3 says he cannot as it will spark the gas that is surrounding them. Ivy faints and when Voidling goes to pick her up, so does he.

Meanwhile, Zeta, Grapezilla and Chubby man have defeated Rotnum and Boxy as well as their armys. They also sealed the dark wold back inside spoof. Spoof opens up the portal again and they all head back to F4CTORY_01.

In a spaceship in the middle of nowhere. Two heavily armed time elementals and a rock golem named noice have picked up on the trouble in F4CTORY_01. They are quickly stopped by a floating piece of pterodactyl turd. They wonder, how did it get there? Then they see an army of giant pterodactyls all wearing jumpers. They turn the spaceship around and flee.

As the building begins to fill with gas, Garrent turns on the air circulation system (a fancy fan). Maiden once again enforces that Tona wear a coat, or else he will freeze. Manipulation Man has used a body manipulation art on himself to gain more blood to keep warm, but Tona says that they're talking crazy and if they want anyone to wear a coat, they should ask Arengeit to, but Maiden tells him that they don't really care about her. Maiden once again tries to force Tona to wear a coat, but Tona runs away again. Kottington wakes up, with a vendetta against Tona swearing she will change his gender. At the same time, Tona runs into her, knocking her unconscious again.

Downstairs, meanwhile, Brad the Lad has run into Gaseous again. Brad tells Gaseous to stop, but he says he cannot now it's begun. Brad slices at Gaseous, and cuts his oxygen tube. Brad tells him that he'll die like the rest of them if he doesn't stop it, but Gaseous says that the same gas that is all around them was going through the tube, not oxygen, so he is still fine. He says he cannot stop it as the gas is pouring out of open gas cylinders, and that they must wait for it to first disperse into the air. Brad tells him that he does not have enough time and that Gaseous must know a way to stop it. They engage in battle, but Brad becomes nauseous and begins to collapse. He steels himself and slices Gaseous a final time, defeating the scientist. Brad commands Gaseous to tell him how to shut off the gas, but Gaseous says that he can either let the gas fill F4CT0RY_01 or lock himself in the room, dying from the gas but letting everyone else live. The other option is to lock the other Ramianers in a room and let the gas fill up in there, killing them but no-one else. Brad immediately asks Gaseous to kill him in exchange for his allies lives, but Gaseous tells him that he is too young to die and he should leave. When Brad does, Gaseous locks himself up and the gas fills up in the room. As Gaseous begins to die, he recalls his getting there.

Gaseous Reminisces: The history of F4CT0RY_01
20 years ago, Gaseous, then known as Joseph, was the grandfather to a 4-year-old named Charlie. Joseph cared about Charlie more than anything else in his world, and spends most of his time with Charlie. Joseph lived on a planet near Jaakkon called Oorsprong on which it is average to have children around the age of 20 and people there grow to be around 140, and he was currently 49. When his 50th birthday came, his whole family but Charlie attended, as Charlie was at the hospital with a broken wrist, yet Joseph had not heard about such an event. As soon as the celebration was over, Joseph went to visit Charlie in hospital, but when he did so all of the alarms went off. The staff got reports that a patient with an extremely fatal lung disease with no known cure was out of their ward. They then find it to be Joseph, he tells them that he just came to visit his grandson, but they do extensive tests on him and tell him that he has, at the most, 3 years to live.

Joseph makes a heart-wrenching decision to leave his family behind and go to a different planet where they have found a treatment, but everywhere he goes have not heard of the illness he was suffering from. Finally, he makes his way to Jaakkon, hoping that a planet of that size would be able to cure him and he could return home. Unfortunately, he runs out of fuel on the way there, and crash-lands on the same planet F4CT0RY_01 is found on. He cannot get off the planet and can find no-one. He had spent a year of the three he was told he had searching for a cure, and he accepts that he will die in the cold with no-one knowing. He collapses from the cold, expecting some animal native to the planet he's on to eat him or to die from the cold. When he awakes, however, he is in F4CT0RY_01, about to be experimented upon by Zeroe. When Zeroe realises he is still alive, he lets him go, and explains to him about F4CT0RY_01 and the other two scientists there, Kottington, the psychology expert and Garrent, the Zeikronam expert. He tells Joseph that he experiments on the corpses of humans to try to mass produce something that can massively help a large portion of mankind, before moving onto other species. Joseph tells him his problem, and Zeroe says that he has heard of it before. He explains to Joseph that what he has is a rare type of lung disease found only on his planet, as people from Oorsprong have weak lungs, that causes everything he breathes in to kill him. Joseph asks if Zeroe can fix it, but Zeroe tells him that it will take him a long time to find out how to, and Joseph doesn't have long left to live.

Joseph meets Garrent and Kottington, the other two scientists. Kottington used to be a professional psychiatrist before she decided to move on to mass producing things to help millions of species around the universe, such as drugs to mentally help people get over fears or forget things they want to. Garrent, however, is less welcoming than the other two scientists and tells him that this is an operation no outsider should know about and, as soon as Kottington has perfected her memory-altering serum, he will use it on Joseph and send him on his way. Joseph begs for help, as he will die in two years, and Garrent realises that this may be the perfect business opportunity. He tells Joseph that he will give him all of the supplies he needs to create a cure for his disease, but, when it is perfected, it can be mass sold to Oorsprong and Garrent will receive 75% of the money received from selling it there. Joseph unwillingly agrees, and begins mixing the gasses he needs to create a cure, with the help of Zeroe's medical expertise, and earns himself the nickname 'Gaseous' among the workers.

A year later, Gaseous is severely feeling the effects of his disease, but pushes on and finds somewhat of a cure; a substitute of oxygen that he feeds himself through a pipe. This is obtained from Allecrysts, who breath it out. He realises that this will keep him alive as he searches for a complete cure. As he stays with F4CT0RY_01 for the next three years, he sees both Zeroe and Kottington descend into greed and begin experimenting on the workers of F4CT0RY_01 for better results for their tests. Zeroe creates many zombies and he locks them down on the floor below while Kottington begins mentally controlling some of the workers and creating her own secret army, hidden from Garrent. Gaseous' cure has not developed over the three years and he still has to rely on the substitute oxygen to keep him alive. Gaseous, when working with some of the workers, discovers that his substitute of oxygen is fatal to those who do not suffer from his disease. Gaseous decides it's time to escape back to Oorsprong to see Charlie a final time, bringing enough of the substitute oxygen to last him the journey there.

Garrent decides that Kottington and Zeroe have got out of hand and imprison them with Zeroe's zombies on the lower floor. When this happens, Gaseous tries to make his move and escape from F4CT0RY_01, but Garrent stops him. Garrent knows that Gaseous knows too much about F4CT0RY_01, and if he were to leave now, there would be an outrage among their sponsors. Gaseous also has his oxygen substitute, which could be used as a weapon against him. Garrent decides that Gaseous, too, should be locked up, while his cell gets pumped full of the oxygen substitute. Garrent intercepts Gaseous and tells him that he is going to be locked up, too, but Gaseous begs to see his Grandson one last time, and says that he can use Kottington's memory-altering serum on him. Garrent tells him that Kottington never finished her memory-altering serum as she went to work on more corrupt and ambitious things. As Garrent drags Gaseous away, he announces that, from that day forward, F4CT0RY_01 will only produce fake Zeikronams.

Charlie, now 12, asks his parents what happened to his grandfather, whom he hasn't seen for 5 years. His father tells him that his grandfather went on a grand trip around the Universe, and one day he will return. Charlie hopes it will be soon, but, as his parents get out of his sight, they begin sobbing, believing that Joseph died on his journey for a cure and that he isn't coming back. Charlie's father tells his wife that soon, Joseph's funeral will be held, if he hasn't been sighted by anyone across the universe for two years. Charlie's mother continues to cry.

15 years later, Gaseous is released from his cell by Garrent. Garrent tells him that he is letting him free to deal with some young troublemakers from Jaakkon whom are destroying F4CT0RY_01. He says that the group is made up of mainly the Pet Finders, but also the infamous Tona Gondilie and the Darp. Gaseous releases his gas, apologizing for all those who he will kill but he believes this to be his final chance home, and if he doesn't fight against them, he will be locked up by Garrent for the rest of his life. Gaseous begs that no-one die because of him, but now he's activated the canisters, he cannot deactivate them.

Around the same time, on Oorsprong, Charlie is now their youngest president. He is a much beloved ruler and wishes his grandfather could see him, all grown up and in charge of Oorsprong. He then gets a report from his secretary that a civil war had begun on Jaakkon a few months ago, involving the Pet Finders and the Gondilie Force, yet they could only just receive this information as the Light Void Master only just released it. Charlie commands that Oorsprong help Jaakkon in every way they can and help them return to their former strength. As they do, Charlie hopes that his grandfather is proud of what he has become. Charlie then gets a report that an unknown individual is on the planet, and with him an army of darkness. Charlie leads the battle to push them back.

Back in the present, Gaseous is dying from the wounds Brad the Lad inflicted on him. Gaseous realises that he, like Kottington and Zeroe, had become corrupt, and that he hopes, in his next life, he will be able to see Charlie again. The oxygen-substitute begins to melt his body as he dies, but he lives his last moments hoping Brad the Lad succeeds in his mission, as he has a kind heart and a bright future. Gaseous dies with neither he nor Charlie knowing about what happened to the other. But just before Gaseous draws his last breath, an Allecryst, one who's breath was harvested to keep Gaseous alive, crawls into the room. And places a grey orb on Gaseous' chest.

When Gaseous was harvesting Allecryst breath, he grew close to one. This one just so happened to be the son of an old allecryst who was alive when the light void master and the dark void master were created. He held an orb of power. One which could turn you into a powerful being. However it could only be used on someone dying. When the cyber dimension portal opened, his cave was opened, and this allecryst went to find gaseous. When he did, gaseous was dying. He decided that he should use his orb on Gaseous. However, he caught him a second too late. Gaseous was already dead. But the orbs power was not used in vain. Gaseous' body may be dead. But the orb uses the power of the soul. Gaseous was transformed into GREY. An archaic being who would remain useless until a later arc.

The Battle Draws to it's Close: Tona's Drastic Move
Brad the Lad reunites with the rest of the Ramianers, but is weakened by the gas, as are the Ramianers, not including BRAIN-A.E3. Brad the Lad tells them that they are on the lower floor and they need to get up, but just as they begin walking, they are intercepted by Zeroe. Zeroe goes to cut Brad with his scalpel, but Brad defends himself with his light-sword. Zeroe shows expert precision with his swordfighting skills, before telling Brad that he's Ambidextrous and cutting his arm off with a scalpel in his left hand. Zeroe explains to him that his Tavanigi allows him to edit one's body, thus why Brad's stump isn't bleeding. He also said that he edited his own hands to be combat adept with a scalpel. He then picks up Brad's severed arm and reattaches it, saying that he will give him a sporting chance because he has much potential. They continue to fight, but Brad is still drowsy after his encounter with Gaseous, and Zeroe cuts him down the chest yet using his body manipulation to keep Brad's body intact so he can make a powerful zombie out of it. He does the same to all of the other nauseous Ramianers, but Mustard appears behind him before he can start the surgery. Mustard and Zeroe fight, but Zeroe still comes out on top. He is interested in Mustard's body, but, before he can examine, the Darp appears from the shadows and beats him until he's unconscious on the floor. The Darp then carries all of the defeated fighters upstairs.

Tona has made his way downstairs and is exploring. He then finds the room with the melted Gaseous and his oxygen-substitute inside. Tona pulls open the door and the gas fills the bottom floor, which Tona describes as 'perfect'. Chairfox, meanwhile, runs into the Darp and the unconscious Ramianers and Mustard. Chairfox helps the Darp carry them as they go to leave F4CT0RY_01. Rawr and Peri intercept them and tell them that it isn't time yet as Tona and the Krei Resurrection Team still need to be apprehended, but, when they are, they can return to Jaakkon and have a massive celebration. The Darp and Chairfox dump all of the bodies and go to hunt down Tona and the Krei Resurrection Team. Beri, Eri, Geri, Iri, and Neri are hunting down Maiden to get revenge, and cross paths with the Darp, Chairfox, Rawr and Peri. They go with them to hunt down the Krei Resurrection Team.

Tona is back on the upper floor but Kottington spots him and runs at him with her tavanigi ready. Tona doesn't notice and steps forward as she attacks. She screams at him and runs, and he notices her. When she goes to slice him, however, he pushes her away and his overwhelming power sends her flying into the wall. She says that most men wouldn't attack a lady and she asks him if he doesn't like her. When he doesn't reply she says that she will turn all of the universe's women into men and then she'll be the only woman for him to like. Tona then snaps and beats her and then throws her body through the walls and out of F4CT0RY_01.

The citizens of the cyber dimension are getting really confused as to why random humans keep falling through a portal into their realm. A cyber task force has been sent to F4CTORY_01 in order to close the portal, but cross paths with Spoof, Zeta, Grapezilla and Chubby man. Spoof closes their portal for them, and as a 'thank you' the cyber task force join their small squad.

Now Garrent doesn't think anything can get any worse, now no-one can get to the F4CT0RY_01 private files, but there is suddenly a new arrival; the Light Void Master, along with Jim & Jim and Red & Blue. The Ramianers have awoke to greet him, and he tells them that he is there to make sure Tona goes into the right hands. Tona breaks into Garrent's office and demands to know where the Meizeik was being distributed, so he can find the rest of it. Garrent says that he will be killed if he tells him and begins to cry, but Tona uses his Zeikronam to make Garrent suffer huge amounts of pain and tell him the truth. Garrent tells him that it's being distributed to Discie-Disco, and Tona stops. Tona then thanks him and goes to the Meizeik. When he arrives he decides to finally take back what is rightfully his.

The Ramianers have all split up to search for the Krei Resurrection Team. The Light Void Master has went with Brad the Lad and asks him what happened. Brad the Lad tells him and the Light Void Master finds their exploits somewhat amusing. Meanwhile, Cyclo-Jess, Ivy, all of the Peris and the Darp and Chairfox's group have all met up. They decide to guard the exit to stop the Krei Resurrection Team from escaping. Tona has messaged the Krei Resurrection Team and told them that they have to leave F4CT0RY_01 immediately. They all begin moving towards the exit as well, and run into the Darp and Chairfox's group. Manipulation Man knows that they will lose if they fight, so they run back into the labyrinth of F4CT0RY_01 until they have lost their pursuers. The Darp and Chairfox's group still block the exit, knowing that's the only way out. Unexpectedly, however, Maiden breaks a hole in the wall and they all escape.

The Light Void Master and Brad the Lad break into Garrent's office. They check the security cameras to find Tona and then confront Garrent about his corrupt business. Garrent defends himself by saying that, if he quit now, he would be massacred by the F4CT0RYs sponsors. Brad the Lad checks the security cameras and notices that the oxygen-substitute is filling the lower floor, much to his confusion. He alerts Garrent and the Light Void Master to it, and Garrent is shocked to see that the door keeping it locked away had been pulled right off it's hinges. The Light Void Master says that F4CT0RY_01 is currently amazingly unstable with all of that flammable gas underneath it, and that everyone needs to leave while he and Brad the Lad take care of Tona. He tells everyone this over the intercom, and they all begin moving towards the exit. The Light Void Master says that the only punishment Garrent deserves for his business is death, and is killed by both of them.

The Light Void Master and Brad the Lad have tracked down Tona to the Meizeik storing area. When they ask why he wants the Meizeik, he explains to them about how the Zeikronam works. He says that, if there is just one Zeikronam in the universe, it will have all 100% of it's power. If there are two, then each one gets 50%. There is a set power to the Zeikronam that must be shared between them; if there is only one then the power it grants is near infinite. But if there are more than the user of the Zeikronam has less of the strength to work with. Furoppu did not count as it was so weak, and so obviously fake, but as for Meizeik, it appeared as a Zeikronam. Currently Tona only ha 70% of his full Zeikronam because of it but, by destroying all of the Meizeik in F4CT0RY_01, that number would increase to at least 95%. Tona would be both stronger and the chance of the Zeikronam eating away at his soul would be higher, but Tona considers that a necessary price to pay, before telling the Light Void Master to 'enjoy the fireworks'. The Light Void Master travels out of F4CT0RY_01 at the speed of light with Brad the Lad, while Tona punches into the lower floor and igniting the gas below with his Zeikronam. All of F4CT0RY_01 and the area around it explode, and the massive amount of heat radiating from it begins to melt the ice all around.

Spoof, Zeta and their squad see the explosion, but spoof opens up a portal to warstruk. They escape through it before the explosion can hit them.

The Light Void Master is sure that Tona survived and is next going to go to where the Meizeik was being distributed to get all 100% of his power. They have no idea where it was going to be distributed, however, and the Light Void Master gives in. Rawr tells them that he knows, however, as when Peri travelled into the papers he discovered this, but passed it off as unnecessary information. When Brad the Lad tells asks them to tell them, Peri reveals that the Meizeik is being distributed to Discie-Disco planet, a planet that Tona saved from poverty and is located in the far corner of the universe, and was also recently disconnected from the intergalactic trade. The Light Void Master had brought his ship and they begin to travel at the speed of light towards Discie-Disco. Meanwhile, Tona is using his Zeikronam to travel across the universe with no ship (as the Ramianers destroyed it when they located Discie-Disco), yet at a slower pace than the Light Void Master, as he does not want to get to Discie-Disco tired out, and also because he thought that the Light Void Master had no idea where he was going. Meanwhile, near F4CT0RY_01, the Krei Resurrection Team are making their way to their ship.
