Elsewhere, on an island inside the Bermuda Triangle, in an academy up in a tree and made out of shipwrecks, Charlie Benjamin is training with the Sword of Sacrifice.

Eeyup. Remember him? He hasn't been involved in a while. Honestly, his universe has been relatively peaceful. The Fifth coming back and joining the Red Army, and later the Legion, actually decreased the amount of Nethercreatures that are out to wreak havoc. That combined with the fact that Charlie and his friends in general haven't really been that involved in the past few months, and it's been quiet.

Not for long.

For Charlie has an observer. An invisible observer who has been dubbed the "black and green asshole" before he changed armor twice.

Cronus hasn't used his Energy Items in a while...in front of his enemies or allies, that is. It was less of a matter of forgetting them - honestly, the amount of times he could've used the Reverse Energy Item to turn the tides is staggering; he'd probably get throttled if he reminded his allies that he had Energy Items now - and more a matter of making sure everyone else forgets them. Everyone important, that is.

Considering that Charlie is about to be dead in a few moments, he no longer qualifies as important. Besides, he's not going to PAUSE; he needs an excuse as to why he was here at all...

Cronus puts his Bugvisor into gun mode with a click, barely audible over Charlie's panting. He walks over, completely unheard.

"Well...that was a good workout!" Charlie turns around. "I think I'll-"

That's when Cronus suddenly appears in front of him and sprays him with an orange cloud of the Bugster Virus.

Another thing Cronus is making sure everyone forgets about.

Charlie quickly gets on his feet. "Cro-"

Cronus quickly flicks a dark purple Energy Item at Charlie.

"CONFUSION!"

Charlie drops the Sword of Sacrifice and falls to his knees, clutching his head. Dear god, he can't tell left from right, the whole room is spinning, and he has a massive headache...he doesn't even notice Cronus switching the Bugvisor 2 to chainsaw mode.

Theodore and Violet burst in. "Charl-"

"CRITICAL SACRIFICE!"

Charlie's friends are just in time to witness Charlie getting cut in half by a giant green chainsaw blade, splattering Cronus' dark red armor with a far brighter red.

The two halves of Charlie's body fall, disintigrating into orange pixels. "GAME OVER!"

Theodore and Violet are petrified.

Cronus turns to the Sword of Sacrifice. "The Sword of Sacrifice. Only able to be wielded by one who can Banish and Nethermance; otherwise the weight is too great for even the strongest man on Earth to lift..."

He then grabs the Sword of Sacrifice and casually heaves it over his shoulder. "I suppose they didn't account for those who can lift over 100 tons."

He turns to Theodore and Violet.

"Theo, Hero Planet." Violet whispers.

Cronus starts walking towards them.

"Theo, ''Hero Planet!" ''Violet urges her terrified friend.

He lifts the Sword of Sacrifice.

"Theo, Hero Planet, 'NOW!" 'Violet yells.

Theodore snaps out of it, quickly whipping up a portal to the First Ring of the Netherworld, and the two run for their lives, the portal snapping shut behind them.

Cronus stops. Good. They were going to spread the word - and thus, fear. Now he has his excuse.

Cronus glances around. Since there is no longer anyone of importance that he needs to worry about...

He pulls out a gray Energy Item and grabs it.

"THE END!"

Cronus begins to hover, crouching into a ball as energy gathers up inside of him, before letting it burst out.

There's a massive explosion of energy.

Cronus now floats down to the sandy shore where once he would've been blocked by wood and watches the wooden shrapnel and bodies fall into the depths.

''"I've always wondered what that does." ''Cronus muses.

He teleports away, Sword of Sacrifice in hand.

Off to store this somewhere safe. Only thing that can kill the Fifth, after all. Could be useful for later negotiations with her.
