The Adventure through the Multiverse has ended. Draal approached his friends and allies.
"You were awesome, Draal." Jim said hugging his brother.
"I'm sorry that the sword destroyed, Mark." Barry said to him.
"Yeah... I guess it's for the best." Markus said sadly.
"Perhaps... if the sword was truly destroyed." Draal said as he pulls out the sword.
"WHAT?! But you—the sword—how?" Mario said flabbergasted.
"When I had the sword, I realized that destroying the sword would cause disastrous consequences to the Multiverse. So I froze time for a moment and created an exact replica of sword, a copy. I then used that sword to destroy the Titan and destroyed it while the original one was still intact." Draal explained.
"Ha ha! The ol' Switcheroo!" Snake chuckled.
"Here. Make your wish a reality." Draal said as he handed the sword to Markus.
Markus began to use the sword to bring his father back to life. A human body began to appear as the sword was restoring Markus' father. Kyle Miles.
"Markus?" Kyle said. Markus drops the sword and hugs his father while crying.
Wolf then took the sword and blasted Drago with it. As the energy affects Drago, his venom glands are restored. Drago feels them with his tongue as he happy cries.
"My venom glands... they're back! Thank you Wolf!" Drago said as he bearhugs Wolf tightly.
"So now what do we do with the sword? It can't be kept in any of our universes. It's too powerful and dangerous." Wolf said.
"Perhaps I can help."
They turn to see a red mobian hedgehog walk to them. This hedgehog had a black symbol mark on his left eye. This was Bedlam the Moderator.
"I am the Moderator of the Multiverse... but for the sake of names. You can call me... Bedlam." Bedlam said.
"We've... seen you before. You were one of the cosmic beings who sent us back from defeating the Dark One." Wolf said with the rest of his friends.
"Indeed. You all now understand the power of the sword. All Master Xion wanted was for someone worthy to possess his sword. The reason he created it was for people to bring their dreams and imagination to life. My siblings and I will hide the sword deeper in our world and give you the sword when you need it most." Bedlam said as he took the sword.
"Bedlam... thank you. For this and saving our lives before." Snake said. Bedlam nodded as he disappeared.
Blinky wanted to reach out and rest a hand on Jim's
shoulder, like he always would do to offer comfort to
his young charge, but with his arm bound as it was
and his prone position that was rather impossible so
instead he settled for asking.
"Master Jim, is something wrong?"
"Wrong?"
"'Yes. You seem... uncertain." Blinky smiled, thinking he might have reasoned it out.
"I know it was foolish of me to go in alone, and in truth I hadn't planned on it. But you needed Draal more, and a part of me hoped I could reason with your monster father, explain the difference between us and Gumm-Gumms and avoid a fight altogether." He gave a short chuckle.
"Here I am scolding you all the time about making
irrational decisions, and then I go and do the same
thing!" Blinky said.
"Yeah, it was kinda d - dumb." Jim averted his gaze
and Blinky felt his worry increase.
Was Jim that angry at him? He didn't sound it - he sounded more upset or highly emotional than angry, and his voice broke a tiny bit on 'dumb' - but what could. Then suddenly it hit Blinky like Daal's fist. The timing. The moments before Jim's arrival, and what had been said.
"Oh by Deya's grace, what have I done?"
Now Blinky found he was the one who looked
elsewhere, a hand under the quilt fidgeting with the
blankets he lay upon. Surely Jim had heard him! He
hadn't been exactly quiet about it, half-deafened by
gunshot and in a highly-emotional state himself, and
then the Trollhunter had arrived mere moments
after. But... what would he think? Would this change
their relationship as Trollhunter and mentor?
Would Jim desire a new trainer?
Blinky swallowed heavily, closing his eyes as he
decided to just face the proverbial music now, rather
than later.
"HOW-how much did you hear?" His voice was
quiet, barely a whisper.
For a long moment Jim was silent, and Blinky started to get more and more worried.
Then apparently he found his voice.
"It seems we gave each other a mantle, though
neither of us knew it before... and mine is one I
happily accept for the honor it is, and will bear it with pride for the rest of my days... dad." Jim said.
Blinky's eyes opened in shock as he heard his own words given back to him to find that Jim had turned his gaze to look at the Troll, and though tears rimmed the blue orbs he was smiling. The Troll stared blankly for a moment, awestruck at the title given. Then he smiled and pushed himself carefully up on his lower elbows, shrugging off the quilt from his shoulders as Jim rose from the chair and moved to sit on the edge of the cot, leaning over into the Troll's welcoming embrace.
"My son," Blinky whispered back, so glad that after all this time he finally had the freedom, the permission, to say it. Jim relaxed at the words like it was comforting to him as well.
Yes, even though it had been a long, painful road,
and he probably would carry a scar, every step had
been worth it to get to this moment. And unseen from the area, Aaarrrggghh, Toby, Claire, Draal, and Dictatious looked at one another and smiled.
Soon, it came time for each of the heroes to go their separate ways... back to their universes.
"Thanks for bringing us on your journey. It was fun! Dangerous, but fun!" Timon said.
"Plus the grub from different universes was delicious." Pumbaa said.
"You're welcome guys. You just stay out of trouble." Atom said as he waves goodbye to Regina, Robin Hood, Henry, Timon and Pumbaa as they go through the breach home.
"So I guess this is goodbye, right?" Barry said to the Rebels.
"It seems like it." Zeb said.
"We really wish you guys could come back with us, the Rebellion could use heroes like you." Hera said to the trio.
"As much as we wish we could, we can't. Our world needs us. Our friends and families. Besides, it seems like you guys are stronger together. Plus with that Glyph magic lesson we taught you, you should be able to fight better." Supergirl said.
"But so that you guys can come back to our world or vis versa, this extrapolator should allow you guys to cross between universes." Flash said as he handled Ezra the device.
"Thanks... but I don't think we'll ever be heroes like you guys." Ezra said.
"I think you guys can. You guys can be more than rebels. You can be heroes. Heroes who inspire hope. A hope that cuts through the darkest times and lights up the galaxy." Flash said.
"Oh! One more piece of advice, and this is for all of you rebels. If you're going to be fighting the Empire as vigilantes... wear a mask. It helps." Green Arrow said.
The Rebels smiled as they leave through the breach.
As everyone is saying goodbye, Mario spots Bowser walking away to a breach. Bowser looks back at the plumber and smiles as he then goes through the breach. Mario smiles as Luigi walks up to him.
"Soooo... are you and Bowser good?" Luigi asked his brother.
"I don't know, but I say things might be looking up." Mario said to his brother.
"So... Markus. What are you and your father gonna do now?" Cisco asked with Ironhide by his side.
"Do what we've been doing, explore the Multiverse and discover it's secrets and treasures." Markus said.
"Together. Thank you for helping my son. I surely hope our paths crossed again." Kyle was he and his son exit through a breach.
"Drago! You coming?" Wolf said.
"Actually... I'm gonna head back to my Earth now. Just to check on my family." Drago said.
"Okay, if you need our help again... you know where to find us." Wolf said.
"Absolutely! See ya guys. Until next time." Drago said as he opens a breach to leave.
"So... do you think we'll see each other again?" Jim asked with Draal by his side.
"I... honestly don't know." Barry said.
"Fear not. Fate will no doubt reunite us all in due course. The truest of friendships have the power to transcend both space and time." Blinky said as everyone agrees with his wise words.
Toby was now saying goodbye to Orgrim with AAARRRGGHH by his side.
"Goodbye, Orgrim, I'm gonna miss you. Thanks for the lessons." Toby said.
"You are an amazing kid, Toby. I wouldn't ask for a better son." Orgrim Doomhammer said.
Toby gasped at hearing him say that and instantly hugged the orc tightly as Orgrim was shocked but chuckled as he accepted the hug.
"You're quite the strong magic users you three. Keep it up, and you'll become more powerful than you can imagine." Constantine said to Claire, Blinkous, and Dictatious.
"Thanks." Claire said.
"You two can keep the Palisman, you deserve them." Doctor Strange said.
"Really?" Blinkous said as his bird Palisman, Flapjack cuddled him.
"Thank you." Dictatious said as he pats his gargoyle Palisman, Spike.
Jessica and Draal looked at each with love and sadness as they are forced to say goodbye.
"I wish I come with you... but the Trollhunter needs me to help in the fight against Gunmar." Draal said.
"And my friends need me as I can't go with you. If only we could stay together." Jessica said sadly.
"I love you, my Emerald." Draal said brushing her hair away from her eyes.
"And I love you, my Sapphire." Jessica said touching his rock-hard face.
They look at each other's eyes as they glowed green and yellow. Their bond has truly grown stronger from the time spending together.
"This just isn't fair. We belong together. I honestly don't how I'll live without you. You are my rock." Jessica said upset.
"Don't worry, my love... I'm sure you'll see me sooner than you believe." Draal smirked.
Jessica looked confused. Before she could speak, Draal pulled her in for a kiss as it felt amazing, like it could last for eternity. The two souls were bonded together out of love and compassion towards each other. They pull apart as all things eventually come to an end.
"Goodbye." They said to each other as they go. But as they walk away, Draal still held on his smile, as if he was hiding something.
As they all wave goodbye to each other, they exit the Multi-Realm back to their worlds. Unknown to them, their worlds have... changed.

As Drago flies to his home where his daughter Jewel, he then noticed his father, mother, and brother were there.
"Mom? Dad? Bro? What are you doing here?" Drago asked.
"You asked us to watch over your daughter while you were gone, remember?" Cade said trying to jog his son's memory.
"Uh... yeah. Sorry, I just went through a lot." Drago said.
"So... when are we going to Central City?" Drake asked as he works on his drone.
"What are you talking about? That's on a different Earth." Drago said as he drinks.
"No, it's in Missouri. Come on, you and your Super Friends recently saved Los Angeles." Cade said with a laugh.
Drago spits his drink out in shock. Drago then took a look at the newspaper and saw his recently battle against Kilg%re with the Justice League in Los Angeles.
JUSTICE LEAGUE STOPS KILG%RE
"What..?" Drago said in shock. Suddenly his phone beeped. He sees that it was his Meta Alert app alerting him of danger.
"You sure you're okay, son?" Sandy asked.
"Yeah, yeah, I just... need to punch something." Drago said as he flies off leaving his concern parents.
At the docks, a meta-human was blasting lightning at everything and everyone. Not even the police could stop her. Drago then appeared to the meta, looking angry.
"Look who came to join the fun." The meta said.
"I'm sorry. Who are you?" Drago said confused.
"Weather Witch. And you... are no match for my wrath." Weather Witch said as she begins to wave her staff to create lightning.
"Oh, look, I'm having not so great a day, which is actually your bad luck." Drago said rubbing his head.
Just as Weather Witch was about to blast him, Flash appeared and punched her away as Smokescreen, Los Angeles' Autobot blasted her down, unconscious.
"Sorry, she's one of mine." Flash said.
"Then what's she doing on my Earth?" Drago asked.
"What?" Smokescreen said.
"Wait, wait, what are you two doing on my Earth?" Drago asked.
"Your Earth? This is... is my Earth." Flash said as the three come to a realization.
"I thought..." Drago said.
"I thought..." Flash said.
They turn around to see that they NOW live on the same Earth somehow. Suddenly a man appeared holding a book.
"Dragon Claw, Flash, and Smokescreen, I just love it when you guys team up. Would you sign this?" The man said holding a binder.
"Oh, sure, um——" Flash as he goes to sign a picture of the three in the binder, along with other pics of heroes.
"Wait, you know both of us?" Drago asked.
"And it's normal to see us together?" Smokescreen asked.
"Well, normally you'd also have Green Arrow, Supergirl, a Legend, an Avenger or two. Last year, the Trollhunters even joined in. Make that out to Marv. M-A-R-V. Thank you." Marv said.
"Marv. M-A-R-V. You're welcome. Marv, as far as you know, how long have Drago and us and all the rest of us been working together on this... Earth?" Flash said.
"Uh, since forever?" Marv said as if it was obvious to the three heroes.
"Oh, fuzz buckets." Drago moan. His reality has just changed either for the better... or for the worse.
Coast City
Jessica Cruz was now flying through the air as she landed on top of a building. She looks at the sunset as her mind only had one thing it was focusing on: a love one named Draal. But as she stares into the view, a unknown figure walks behind her.
"Mind if I sit with you?"
Jessica's eyes widened as she recognized the gruff voice. She turns to see Draal the Deadly smiling at her with his arms opened for her.
"So can I?" Draal asked.
Jessica gasped as she ran and tackled him down as they hugged tightly. They then kiss as Draal stood up with Jessica and laughs.
"H-H-How are you here? What about Jim? The battle against Gunmar?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah... about that... when I had the sword, I saw the infinite possibilities I could do with it. But one I saw was me not wanting to be separated from you. So I used the sword's power to move everything of Arcadia to your Earth, along with Drago's Earth as well, so we can be together and not worlds apart." Draal explained.
"You... did that? But Draal... actions like that have huge consequences." Jessica said worried.
"Bushigal! I don't care! I couldn't live without you in my life. Whatever new threats come, we'll face them together." Draal said as he placed his hand on his chest.
Jessica chuckled as they kissed again. The love ones were closer than before. It felt perfect.
"So! Why don't you show me around the city? You did promise me you'll show me." Draal said.
As Jessica was about to speak, they then see Weather Wizard attacking the city. The two look at each other and smirked.
"How about we take care of this punk and then we sightsee?" Jessica said.
"Fine with me!" Draal chuckled.
The Draal activated his suit as he dashed down at lightning speed. Jessica flies above him as they smile at each other. The two together... now and forever.
Later that Night
Drago was now brushing his teeth while wearing only boxers. Exhausted and was still trying to wrap his head around the new reality of his Earth being apart of his friends' Earth. Mind... blown. As he finished, for a moment, a green eye appeared on his forehead for a split second. Drago looks to see it gone. He shrugged as he heads to bed. But as he sleeps... he hears a voice. A voice that scared him.
"WE'RE COMING!!!"
And so the Great Multiverse Quest is over, but a new adventure has begun in this new world's reality! Who's coming? What other surprises does this new world have? Find out next time!
