Chapter 644: VV4, 38 - Event Planning

VV4, 38 - Event Planning

An alternate world? Thomas asked.

Yeah, Dylan said. Basically, when Dr. Zlo blew up the moon, the store of Phlebotinium inside created a wormhole that sucked Skyline into this alternate timeline. Were thinking in this world, Dr. Zlo and his friends are good.

The two friends sat in the OOC lounge at the bottom of the central Skyscraper in Skyline. Dr. Zlo had his hat off and monocle sat to the side while Thomass character, Dextra Black, lounged in a tracksuit that completely clashed with the characters villainous image. It did wonders to dissuade fans though. That, and the restructuring that Menagerie had recently had to go through had removed a lot of the fans. Menagerie was a more private faction now, still willing to host large events for fun but much less willing to allow others into their ranks after Skyline got destroyed from the inside.

That must must appall the true Dr. Zlo, Thomas laughed.

Oh yeah, Dylan said. Dr. Zlo is going to have a vendetta. Theres no way he can stand a goody-two-shoes version of himself.

Are you thinking that all of us have an alternate counterpart? Thomas asked.

Dr. Zlo, Riptide, and Sweet Dream for sure, Dylan said. Dr. Zlo is the central character, and since I often do things with both Rip and Dream it seems fitting for them to have good guy variants. But we dont need everyone to be good. In fact, I have a great idea for an alternate Dextra.

Oh? Do tell, Thomas said.

Did you see the whole thing with CEOverlord? Dylan asked.

Of course, Thomas said. Looked like a fun time.

It was, Dylan said. And it got me thinking. What if in this world Dextra was a man with a slightly different set of powers? Perhaps whatever CEOverlord has?

Thomas nodded. I can see it. He leaned back, his characters straight black hair falling down behind him. Its a cool idea. We just need something to tie it all together.

Ive got an idea for that too, Dylan said. He leaned forward. Picture this, okay? We have Skyline fall out of the sky, crashing to the ground after our big battle with the heroes on the moon. At first, the goal is for everyone in the guild to get the city back up in the sky. People are tasked with finding certain items in cities. Items weve made and have groups of either heroes or villains protecting. For the villains, a few of the groups meet up with a Dr. Zlo in a white business suit who tries to stop them from getting the item. For the heroes, its CEOverlord that appears and attempts to stop them.

We tease the idea of the multiverse in the first part, Thomas said. Make them think that its a Zlobot gone wrong and just another villain. Then, once Skyline is back in the air, Dr. Zlo discovers that this white suited version of himself isnt a Zlobot, but in fact an alternate universe version of himself!

Exactly! Dylan laughed. Then we get everyone to pick a side, joining either Dr. Zlo in a climactic battle that decides the twos fates! Im thinking Dr. Zlos plan is to make some kind of universe alternator or something. His goal is to correct the world, altering it so that his good counterpart becomes evil again or something. But, and I think this is the good part, the universe alternator machine can be programmed to turn the evil Dr. Zlo good.

Hold on, Thomas said. You want to kill off your character?

Dylan shook his head. No, I want to give the option. See, Ive been thinking about it while playing Dr. Zlos expansion. Some of it has been great, dont get me wrong, but Im kinda bummed that there isnt more variety? Dr. Zlo is zany and unpredictable, his stories should be the same dont you think? Right now this expansion feels like a bootleg version of the villain. Which, if you think about it, makes sense if its a Zlobot.

I thought the Zlobot thing was just something we used as an excuse to justify your character running around in two places at once? Thomas questioned.

It is, Dylan said. Im treating it as canon because the other way is boring. Anyways, the expansion got me thinking about the difference between our events and Verts. We give a goal to achieve and let others work toward it in whatever way they think best. Vert splits the single goal into a ton of smaller ones, each one with parameters on it. Im sure theres a ton of reasons for it, but it also kind of limits what can actually be done.

Hence the option to let Dr. Zlo turn good, Thomas said.

Not forever, of course, Dylan said. The best thing about superheroes sometimes is that the status quo is always maintained. Course thats also the worst thing about them sometimes. And it doesnt even have to be those two options. We could make it so the heroes shut down the machine, or it explodes and destroys both Dr. Zlos depending on the choices.

Or perhaps they could throw someone else in the way and alter their timeline instead of Dr. Zlos, Thomas mused.

Exactly! Dylan said. We present the obstacle and the others find a way to overcome it.

I think itd look nice, Dylan said.

Jack squinted her eyes. Dont you tease me.

Im not! Dylan argued.

Hmm, Jack said, disbelieving.

I dont mind doing it, Merla said. As long as I dont have to act too cutesy.

Thats fine, Thomas said. And Oro, are you good to play the good Dr. Zlo?

I would love it, Oro said. He looked at Dylan. Lets get together and map the character out sometime?

Ive got time after this, Dylan said.

Oro nodded. Cool.

Alright, anything else? Thomas asked.

Are you reaching out to CEOverlord? Rampart asked. Or do you want me to do it?

I got it, Thomas said.

Awesome, dudes! Riptide laughed. He turned to Shizuka. You gotta tell me the idea you have in mind for Wavecrash!

Wavecrash? Sweet Dream asked.

The hero me! Riptide said eagerly.

No way are we calling her Wavecrash, Shizuka said.

Her? Riptide asked.

Alternate hero you is totally female, Shizuka said.

Aw dude, no way, Riptide said. I wanted us to look like twins!

Ill still make her look like you, Shizuka said.

Alright dude, Riptide said. But you better come up with a good name.

Oh, dont you worry about that, Shizuka said. Im the best at names. Isnt that right Zlobowsky?

Dylan rolled his eyes.
