It started out as a calm day in the headquarters of TIME. Where Mother Time, and her Ticks, Tocks, and Dings were working tirelssly, as always, to keep everything in the Multiverse running, and in order. They worked in the TIME Palace, which was a large, castle-like mansion, which was made of turning gears, and large pieces of metal. The whole place was all run by Mother Time, and all her beautiful glory. Mother Time created everything. Every universe, every mountain, every grain of sand. Everything you have ever seen, was created by Mother Time.

       She was a very large figure, which stood in the middle of the TIME Palace, powering everything. She was made of copper, tin, and metal. Her joints were powered by gears, like a mechanical masterpiece. Mother Time never moved, though. She simply stood in the middle of everything, her eyes closed. The only thing that moved, was her clock. Which was implanted in her chest, large and shining. It was the the clock that powered everything, ticking and tocking every second of the day. Her hands stuck in place on the sides of the clock, as if she was presenting it to the world.

        Now, as I was saying before, it started out as a calm, normal day, until...."Mother Time! Mother Time!" A Ding ran through the palace shouting, catching the attention of other Ticks, Tocks, and Dings. He ran up to the platform that was closest to the great mother. "Someone is traveling through the Multiverse! They're creating rifts! The Multiverse can't take much more!" He called up to her. The great mother did not move, but nobody new the battle she was fighting inside to keep the Multiverse in order. "RIFTS!!!" A Tock suddenly yelled, warning everyone.

       Everyone, except Mother Time, grabbed something to hold onto as a great wind swept through the Palace. "They're getting worse by the minute!" A Ding yelled to Mother Time. After a moment, the rift passed, leaving everyone a bit shaken. "Mother Time, you have to fix this!" A Tick yelled up. Then, suddenly, Mother Time seemed to glitch out for a moment, before returning to normal. Everyone watched, silently. Nothing like that had ever happened, which scared them. They all watched in fear as it happened again, but this Time, Mother Time's upper body was lowered, as if she broke down.

       "Mother Time!" A Tock yelled, before turning to the others. "Come, my brothers! We must fix our great Mother!" He screamed, and him and the other Ticks, Ticks, and Dings began to scramble onto Mother Time, hurrying to fix her. Then, she glitched out again, knocking some of the small, copper beings off. She lowered down more, leaving them scrambling to fix her. They tightened joints, fixed steam leakage, and many other things. After a few minutes, Mother Time began to rise, causing the Ticks, Tocks, and Dings to celebrate. That is, until the most unimaginable event accured...

        A loud cracking sound sounded from Mother Time, a sound that echoed through every Multiverse, and was heard by every being. It made everyone stop what they were doing , wondering what they'd just heard. All The Ticks, Ticks, and Dings stopped completely. "I-It can't be...." One stuttered. They all climbed off of her, and stared in horror at the scene infront of them. The great clock, the one thing that kept everything in order, was cracked...And it was no longer ticking, or tocking, it even moving for that matter. Which meant that everything was now going to fall out of control.

       Realities would mix, counterparts would meet, and nobody was prepared for the chaos that would spiral out from this single crack. And NOBODY knew how to fix it. The Universe was now broken...And there was nothing that could be done about it...Or was there?
