      Tails, Shadow and Luz Bucket were inspecting the ground where Luz's doppelganger used to be and who killed himself. They were alarmed by such a suicide and what he talked about before killing himself, so that they would not learn anything further from him. — What was this black miracle-yudo? — asks the fox. — I don’t know myself. — the striped naga answers. — I can’t believe he did that. Even I would never have thought of such a thing. — says Luz. — Luz, we have no time for you now! — Shadow answers sternly, waving his hand. — We feel bad here without you. — says Tails. Then Tails and Shadow, seeing that Luz fell into a stupor from what he heard and was ready to cry, realized that he had not told him that in vain. — Sorry, Luz! That's not what we meant. — Shadow extended his hand. Luz turned away, folded his arms over his chest and, sighing heavily, grumbled: — Everything is fine with me! — Something is not visible or heard in the voice. — Tails answers. — Luz, we didn’t want to offend you. We said this out of emotion. — I also said this out of emotion. — the scorpion hissed through his teeth. — I’m already tired of everyone treating me with suspicion. Moreover, you shout at me, although I didn’t blurt out anything offensive to you. This evil me appeared and because of him, everyone would probably again think that I had never changed and would be even more suspicious of me. Bucket crawled away from this place and clenched his hands into fists. Tails wanted to fly after him and stop him to calm him down, but Shadow lightly grabbed him by the right leg with his large and index claw. — Let me in! — Don't, Tails! Let him be alone! — asked the striped hedgehog-snake and let the fox go. The latter hung in the air and sat down on his shoulder. — What should we do with him? He will never calm down until everyone treats him with respect and understanding, just as we treat him. — He needs time to get used to him. Remember how you and everyone else treated me until you trusted me completely. But I kept myself under control and didn’t get nervous over such trifles. — Okay, we'll deal with him later. We need to figure out who it is and where he came from. — Tails says out loud and takes out Wander's hat. — Eh, if I could, I would say... Oh, good magic hat, please help us! — he asked for the hat and stuck his hand inside. He stuck out the same device again. The fox realized that he needed to turn it on again. The device scanned this part of the forest and displayed a halogram of that same tied up evil Luz Bucket. The hallogram showed Luz's clothes to be translucent and the logo of a certain company could be seen through the clothes. It was the emblem of an eye inside either a shuriken or a galaxy. And around the edges there were stars. These emblems themselves were inside a blue circle, and the eye was inside a blue square. — This sign! Shadow, do you remember him? — the fox asks his big friend. — Yes. — the striped naga answers and takes out his ring. - Now we will attack them! — Wait! What about our Luz? — the two-tailed man was worried about the naga scorpion. Shadow turned his gaze towards the forest, where Luz did not crawl further and stopped next to a large tree. The striped one crawled up to the purple big guy and put his hand on his shoulder. Luz spoke at that moment: — No need! Please! Just leave me alone! You'll probably be better off without me. I can't even help you with anything. No one wants to take me in because they are afraid that I will suddenly ruin something for someone and make everything worse. They don't trust me that much. — But we need you, Luz! We can't cope without you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have defeated this evil you. — Tails answers. Bucket stood in a stupor and turned his gaze to his friends. — We found out where the nation for which that scorpion worked is located. We want you to come with us. — asked Shadow. — Please! We really need you! You are our friend! We only trust you. — Tails added. The Scorpio-snake turned away, thought, narrowing his eyes, but remembering Fiona’s advice and words, he made a stern look and turned around and said: — Where should I crawl? Shadow extended his hand forward and used the ring, opening another portal. The portal opened and a gray bare wall appeared with the image of that very logo. The alarm inside and a red light with a computer voice in the loudspeaker immediately turned on: — Attention! Anomaly at the base! Anomaly! Anomaly! Suspecting nothing, Tails, Shadow and Luz entered through the portal and found themselves inside. The portal closed behind them. The alarm stopped and the loudspeaker said: — Blocking the anomaly is completed! The anomaly has been eliminated! — An anomaly? — the trio asks each other, still not understanding anything. Looking around, they noticed that they were in some kind of warehouse. The doors opened and a human-like robot wearing a motorcyclist's helmet, whose lens glowed blue, entered. — Anomalies have been detected. Eliminate! — he says to himself. Luz Bucket quickly managed to thrust his prosthetic new stinger into his chest and the robot lowered its arms down. — I'm terminated! Send reinforcements! Immediately eight more of the same robots came running, with automatic machines configured for repelling rays. Both naga and the two-tailed fox didn't have time to quickly think of anything before the robots immediately opened fire and the lasers pushed them towards the walls, forcing them to crash into the wall, pin themselves and slowly fall down, losing consciousness. — Anomalies caught! Bring them to justice!

      Samurai Jack was awakened by a slap on the cheek. The samurai woke up and saw that he was in some room like a court. The children were next to him and they were in electric handcuffs with him. — Wait for the court to arrive. Soon it will be your turn! — said the robot, which woke up the samurai. Then he walked away and sat down in the room with the jury robots. In the adjacent jury room sat ordinary soldiers of this organization. — Where are we? — asks Jack. — We ended up in court in the organization of these same soldiers. They still caught us. — Sammy explained. — We surrendered to them ourselves, and they didn’t catch us.” — Benny corrected him. — Benny, shut up! — Tiny hissed through her teeth. Above the podium, the television, as if by coincidence, began showing an advertisement for that very organization. An image of the man himself, known as "He Who Doesn't Exist," appears on the screen. — Welcome, dear viewers and accused. If you think that you ended up here by mistake and that you are not welcome here, then you are mistaken. Welcome to the nation of eliminating interuniverse and time paradoxes! My name is the one who does not exist, and I am recording this video to bring you up to date, since I myself have a lot of important work to do and I cannot come to court every time and explain everything again. So watch, listen carefully and don’t ask stupid questions like “What?”, “What are you talking about?” and so on! — What is he talking about? — Sammy asked, and the TV, along with the one who does not exist, continued to show images and explain: — My task is to bring you up to date before the trial. So let's not waste a second, sit down comfortably, take paper and pencils, look straight at the screen and listen carefully! — pictures with lightning and an image of the universe appear on the screen in the style of an old two-dimensional cartoon from the twentieth century. — A long time ago, even before our current multiverse, there was another multiverse, which has long been dead and ours was born in its place. In this oldest multiverse, life flourished and expanded, and new alternate universes were born. However, out of nowhere, the end of the world began. It is unknown who it was and what it was, but it put an end to all life in this old multiverse and everyone who was born and lived in it died. Everyone except me. I had already seen this end of the multiverse once before and by some miracle I was able to survive it. - further show electric lines that were at first parallel, but sometimes became wavy and intersected with each other. And some lines began to divide and copy themselves. — The only thing I managed to find out was that this very end of the world came due to the fact that travelers to other universes began to appear. The inhabitants of one universe jumped to another and changed its events, but at the same time they thereby created alternative universes to these same universes and copied them. Because of this, anomalies arose in the multiverse and it became larger and larger due to the majority of the universes. Countless parallel worlds and time lines collided with each other and the result was a mess. — then they show how the explosion occurs and the multiverse perishes. Darkness appears, but then the one who does not exist reappears. — I was the only one who survived. Then, when I saw how a new multiverse was born in the place of the old multiverse, the one in which you and I live at the moment, I decided not to allow such a catastrophe to happen again. And I brought peace to this multiverse by organizing my own organization, where I first used soulless robots as an army, but later began to sometimes employ other anomalous residents from anomalous universes who wanted to live. I, my robots and agents brought harmony to the multiverse and every day, twenty-four by seven, we monitor the order and balance of the multiverse, so that from now on the multiverse will never expand again and create other universes. Our agents look for anomalous universes that were created by accident or mistake and destroy them. And we also destroy those universes in which there is clearly no longer and will not be any life, reducing the number of universes and thereby canceling the possible end of the world, which could have repeated itself in our multiverse, if not for me, the savior of our entire new multiverse, and so on say, for one and your savior. — then they show the organization itself, how they train and train recruits there, as well as how they come to anomalous universes and destroy them, creating semblances of the most gigantic black holes, which then die themselves. But they don’t touch the original and normal universes and fly by. — We maintain order, harmony and balance in the multiverse, eliminating anomalies and paradoxes for everyone and everything. It is true that sometimes some of you stray from the path set for your original universe. It is you who we call anomalies, although you call yourselves variants, which is not correct! Maybe you just started a riot or were late for work? However, deviating from its original path will create a contiguous event that could end this multiverse and begin the madness. And ultimately this could lead to a new end to the life of the multiverse. Perhaps even a multiverse war. - for example, the one who does not exist began to show a white line on an orange background from which red lines separate from some points and go along different paths and sometimes intersect with each other, and then an explosion occurs again. — But don't worry! To prevent this, my nation and I, with all our employees, were created to prevent this from happening. — then they show as an example a yellow man who left the white line along the red one. However, agents appeared, grabbed him and returned him back to the white line, and the red line was removed using a certain device. — NTEITP specifically interferes with your events in order to correct your mistake and return you, along with the canonical events of your original universe, to the originally intended course. However, due to your actions, you created a new universe for yourself and became an anomaly along with it. And now you must appear in court. — then, as an example, the yellow man was placed on the podium in front of the court. Between the person are other agents and the founder of the organization himself. - So have patience and we will bring you together with our judge very soon. The court will decide your future fate if your universe has already been destroyed. Either they will destroy you too, or they will offer you to work with us. — The one who does not exist goes off-screen and, as if in a television advertisement, they show the logo of this organization and the advertising slogan, which is voiced off-screen. — A nation to eliminate interuniverse and time paradoxes. We protect the multiverse and all its inhabitants, and time never stands still! When the commercial ended, the television began showing a program about the life of whales in outer space. At that moment, another twenty soldiers and ten robots dragged Tails, Shadow and Luz Bucket into court in the same electric handcuffs. — Come on, come in! — Stop pushing me, iron dwarf! — Luz snapped. — Get your hands off, you disgusting freaks! — Tails scolded. — From the freak we hear! — one of the soldiers answers, hinting at the two tails of the fox. The children and the samurai turned around at the sound and saw them. — Look! It's Tails, Shadow and Luz Bucket! — says Nelly. Even young Tails was happy and shouted: — The second one is me! — Tails! -— the adult fox was happy when he saw his young self and the rest of the children. — CHILDREN!!! — the striped one shouted. He was also glad to see them and did not even expect to meet them here. — It's them? — asks Jack. — Yes, Uncle Jack. We told you about them. — Sammy answers. When those three were placed next to the six defendants, the judge himself came out. — All rise, the court is in session! — says the loudspeaker and the fate of the Devil himself comes to the podium. The rest did not bother to get up and continued to sit. — Tell! Why are you keeping us in court! By the way, we are not completely summery! — says Nelly. — Firstly: I’m asking the questions here, not you. And secondly: we don’t care who we judge! You are all anomalies and it is our custom to judge you in order to decide your future fate. — the judge answers and takes out his notebook. — So! Let's start with the first suspects! Miles Prower, also known as Tails. And also Shadow De-Dark and Luz Bucket! The three of you are accused of numerous violations of travel through the multiverse. — On what basis are you accusing us? Luz asks. — I’m asking questions here! — the judge said threateningly. — I don’t care about your conditions. — the scorpion hissed, to which the judge took out his pistol, turning on the “Deadly!” mode. and took aim at him. Luz got scared and raised his hands. — Okay-okay! You ask questions, so do you! The judge puts the gun away and continues his story: — Your accusations: Numerous jumps to many other universes, changing each of their events, as well as creating alternative copies of these universes due to changes in their events. And also for the murder of our best and professional agent Luz Bucket from the original Mobius-2022A universe. Which, by the way, you got into and turned it into Mobius-2022B, and also created your own clones, who also traveled in exactly the same way to the same place as you, creating a bunch more copies, both to this universe and to others. — Hey! Sorry for my question! But how do you think we could know about all this? If we knew nothing about your organization and about your stupid rules, then it turns out that we essentially did not violate anything. — Tails says, to which the judge replies: — They violated! Because of you, the multiverse has expanded and is in danger of extinction. You are accused of this and as punishment, you three, like your universe from where you came to us, are sentenced... To destruction! Tails, Luz and Shadow were dumbfounded by this verdict. Even Shadow shouted: — THIS IS NOT A FAIR ACCUSATION!!! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BAD TO ANYONE!!! — ORDER!!! — the judge shouts, but the striped naga does not stop talking: — SHUT UP!!! I JUSTIFY US!!! AND GENERALLY SPEAKING!!! WE DEMAND A LAWYER!!! WHY DIDN’T YOU READ US YOUR RIGHTS AND GIVE US A LAWYER TO DEFEND US AND JUSTIFY US!!! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO A LAWYER!!! The Judge pulled out his gun and fired past Shadow's head, intimidating him into shutting up. — Please don't shout! We do not have lawyers and never have had one, since all anomalies, like you, are already guilty and their crimes cannot be justified! — But that’s not fair! — Jack intervened. — Courts shouldn’t work like that! — Do you think it’s possible to travel to other universes, disrupt the balance of parallel worlds and kill our agents? And in general, I am not addressing you, but to them. — the judge answers the man in armor and returns to the trio. — Tails, Shadow and Luz Bucket! No disputes will be accepted. Since you are an anomaly, you are guilty. — Why do you keep repeating it, as if a record stuck in your brain? What kind of anomalies are these? We are not anomalies! — says the fox. — No, you are anomalies! Don't lie to us! Anyone who has created a copy of any universe, and also changed its events, is an anomaly and a threat to the entire multiverse. That's why all nine of you were detained for that very reason. But you three are anomalies not only in the sense that you have traveled to other worlds. You three and your universe should never have existed, for you are the original anomalies. Tails, Shadow and Luz fell into a stupor again and asked at the same time: — What? — How? Don't you know? — the judge asks and gives an order to one of the agents. — Turn them on to record on the TV screen! — I obey. — the agent answers and switches the TV channel with the remote control. The TV channel showed a universe where there was a more evil Luz Bucket, whom Tails then killed. The screen showed how he caught a two-tailed baby in the river and ate it. The judge began to explain: — This is your original universe, from which a copy of your universe appeared. You, Tails, should not have survived then. Luz Bucket was supposed to eat you, but events changed in your universe and then he spared you. Luz Bucket remembered those events and said: — Wait! This didn't happen! I remember this moment well. I then spared him and let him swim away. — You do, but your original doesn’t. — I don't understand!? — the scorpion naga fell into a stupor. — Do you remember the evil Luz Bucket in that dark universe where the evil and inhospitable Fiona was? Where did you kill that same Luz!? This was the original universe. And the one in which you lived is just an anomalous copy of this universe, in which events went differently. — But how? — Tails asked through gritted teeth, refusing to believe this nonsense. — How? One of our traitors was to blame for everything. The first one was an octopus, which went to your universe many years ago and persuaded the sorcerer to use the power of freezing instead of a ring for movement. Moreover, when he got into that universe through the capsule, he turned off the blocking of the creation of anomalies. We were able to catch and kill the traitor, but he destroyed the capsule and erased the data about the second universe he created. The second such traitor appeared forty years ago. He also went to that universe and met a naga hedgehog who was protecting the egg of his beloved son, whose mother died after falling into a ravine. — the judge agreed and showed on TV an image of that same naga with an egg in his hands. — Dad! Luz said with a sigh. Even Shadow was shocked to recognize Luz's father on screen. — You father was cruel and strict. But the traitor showed up there, made contact with him and taught him to be kind and polite. After this, his father also lovingly began to teach Luza to be the same. That's why he spared Tails then. This didn't happen in the original universe. Luz's father, in fact, was always cruel and strict, which is why he became the same in character. That's why he killed the baby there then. We also later caught and killed the traitor, but we still couldn’t figure out the number of your universe that appeared. And then you yourself began to travel to other universes and created even more other alternative universes. You are all anomalies and a threat to the multiverse. And that same traitor is to blame for everything. If he had not intervened in that universe with Luz's father and changed him, then you, Miles, would not have survived. According to canon, you should not have survived! After all, you are the original anomaly and threat. Change events in two more universes and the entire multiverse will perish. And it will all be your fault. Luz Bucket and Shadow were shocked. Even the children and Jack were in a stupor. It turns out that Samurai Jack's theory about the creation of new worlds due to his changes was true. Only adult Tails gritted his teeth and shouted: — THIS IS ALL A LIE!!! I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU!!! — If you don’t believe me, ask someone who doesn’t exist in person! But you won't see him. The three of you have been sentenced and cannot be appealed. — the judge finished and began to address the next defendants. — Samurai Jack, Sammy, Nelly, Benny, Miles Prower and Tiny! You are accused of numerous murders of our agents and their resistance. — But it’s not our fault. We were simply defending ourselves, and you yourself wanted to kill us and pursued us, although your son did nothing wrong to you. — says Benny. — But you made contact with our agents. If you wanted to live, you could just surrender to them and you would just become one of us. — the judge smiled. — But it’s our fault! We didn't want to be one of you, we just wanted to live! — says Tiny. — But you are also anomalies. In your original universe, there was never an encounter with those nagas and Tails. They accidentally got there and created a copy of your universe. You are residents of one of these copies and you are also an anomaly. You should not exist, as well as your universe, because the original universe from which yours appeared due to the intervention of Tails, Shadow and Luz Bucket is not an anomaly, but an original created from the very beginning of the times of the multiverse. — Just like mine? — asks Jack. — Exactly! In the original universe, the robot X-forty-nine did not talk to you, but instead tried to kill you and you yourself destroyed it, after which you lived for fifty years and found the only way to return to the past. And X-forty-nine decided to talk to you, since the same traitor accidentally ended up in your universe and persuaded the robot to ask you for help when Aku captured Lolo and threatened him. So you, Jack, and your universe are also anomalous. We have already destroyed your universes, since we have already been there and installed our devices there. — WHAT??? — Tiny shouted. She couldn't believe what she heard. — YOU DESTROYED OUR UNIVERSE??? All the children, Jack, and even the naga and adult Tails were in shock. Benny was very angry. — OH YOU, PATHETIC KILLERS!!! — he shouted and ran beyond the red line. He wanted to run to the judge and strangle him because they all killed essentially every living thing and all those they knew and loved in their home universe. The handcuffs immediately began to shock him and the brown hedgehog fell. — BENNY!!! — Sammy shouted and ran to his brother, helping him get up. — You won’t walk again without any riots. Otherwise, you will die from electric shock right here. In general, your sentences have also been passed and are not subject to appeal. — says the judge. — Take them all away and put them in a cell. After two hours, then take them to the shooting range and shoot them there! The soldiers and robots began to threaten the children, nagas, samurai and adult fox with cannons, forcing them to leave the court. Tiny cried on the way, realizing that they had killed all their friends and even Sonic and Sally, destroying their universe. Samurai Jack was also almost sad in his thoughts: — “Have I really been an anomaly all this time and all my events after the victory over Aku were false?” Luz Bucket was sad in his thoughts: — "What have I done?" And adult Tails was thinking about something else and gets angry: — "I don't believe! I do not believe! It's all a lie! Not true! I do not believe in that! It's all a lie! Lie! I'm real! I'm not an anomaly at all! I don't believe! Everything was for real! I know it!"
