BTC Plot Lore Dump: Exposition

On a long and eventful journey, one figure ascended into near godhood during all the chaos the MANCM was dealing with in the first few generations in their own galaxy. The figure brought/made/harvested/manifested six other new(ish) universes, which include the Terra Worlds (not the Terran-Lands), Desolate Wasteland, Land of the Primitives, Humoros's Lair, the Asylum, and the 'Skoggy Planet. The super-advanced mouse Giganticus also made his own universe at the behest of this diety and had it placed to become the seventh bordering universe, known as Universe Remade. One additional world known as the Land of the Creator was placed to fill in one last spot. The ascended figure took these eight universes and used them to protect the "Main" universe. What sets the main one apart from the eight others is that the eight other universes' inhabitants knew that they were bordering each other, while anyone from the main multiverse never knew this was happening, most likely because it was a constant war zone most of the time, and evil stuff kind of just passed through the other eight realms while completely ignoring them. To further keep these universes secure, this particular creator, Karrat Shauul (henceforth known as the Maker to some, who left ancient cave paintings) gave each universe its own demigod. Giganticus became one of them, but he never ascended, he just has his giant powerful flying mech, but that's not too important because Giganticus isn't that important to the lore right now. Anyway, Karrat itself had also made his own universe, called the "Land Of The Creator". In this universe of glowing stars and shiny rocks, he made Utopia, a planet of many environments and a great pillar of light, but before talking about Utopia there were a few events that occurred. First, travel between the eight (nine) universes was once possible, however, this was restricted during some not-so-bright events going on in The Terra Worlds. You see, Karrat made these rectangle creatures (Utopians) that are practically immortal, when these prisms "die", their souls move towards a way-point and allow them to re-spawn. These guys were able to travel freely between the barrier, and all the other universes. However, one of these Prisms, named Prizey, got into a fight with the Demigod of The Terra Worlds, Yememotus and actually destroyed him... This, as you probably guessed, caused a lot of panic for everyone there. So, Karrat replaced the Demigod with a new one, Cereal Executor Divine Lord, who isn't nearly as powerful but can't really die though. Karrat then took the original demigod's soul and kept it safe in the Digiverse, the second layer in the multiverse. After all of that, travel between each universe became restricted for a long time. Anyway, back to Utopia, the Pillar (made by Karrat at some point in time during Utopia's early days) is capable of making pure Utopians, Vins, or very rarely and at an extremely low rate, a few Soul Elementals at a time, most of which dissipate... Only about 1/10 will survive their formation... and even less of those survivors eventually evolve into their last core form and ascend into space. (Vins are like Utopians but with fully sealed powers and mumbling noises, they can fly if they convert back to fetal hovering orb form or fill their air sacs or choose, intentionally or unintentionally, the element of the sky for their primary choice. They, in any form, can and are trained by the Utopians to compete in their contests of skill and training), which will be relevant later. Back to focusing on the flashback... After making the pillar of light and programming it to dispense the life forms he would tell it to spawn and give form to, Karrat brought the forces of eight Primary (natural) Elements, Plant, Water, Ice, Fire , Air, Rock, Electricity, Soul (which would be much/far rarer than the other seven, leading to an unbalance), the eight Secondary "additionally primordial" elements of Poison, Ice, Lava, Radioactivity, Wind, Earth, Shadow, Steam/Plasma, placing each of the tribes on separate parts of the planet. (Karrat made all subsequent elements by mutating samples of the original eight as he returned from time to time, never timing it to be in similar intervals.) While some parts of Utopia remained uninhabited for future inhabitants, the elements never left their areas or split their territory, instead expanding their border until they became next to each other. Then, they got in an arms race later on due to Karrat's departure from Utopia to make new worlds and Rob-lock's machinations, which he would later take advantage to start the first Digitization Civil Battle. While nobody was really hurt, tensions grew after the peace treaty. During that turbulent time, Steam would become Plasma, originally meant to be another element. Lava, in following it, formed Magma, but Rob-lock quite literally destroyed Magma by merging Magma with Lava (Magma sort of split from Lava to become even fiercer warriors, but Rob-lock used a mass-production reverso-ray on them "by accident", making them no longer able to access a separate Magma form, now bound to a half-solid-liquid form that constantly spewed oxygen everywhere, which made Plant proliferate even more into other lands and increasing conflict) and making it so the elements couldn't mutate to hinder his plans for another few thousand years. Karrat would realize something was wrong and return, but Rob-lock and his followers went into hiding, and Karrat didn't think anything was wrong from up in the atmosphere. He left a living camera which would become the Silver Swan. Before he left, he put an extra set of Substantial elements, Energy, Crystal, Gas, Ore, Will, Properties, Theorem, Life (the latter four actually being Diviners, Deciders, Dark, and Light) to give the others more chances to find peace and allies. The Primary and Secondary elements covered up most of the land while the Substantial elements were put in smaller or underground areas. There was one problem with this though, it's that these elemental souls could be easily corrupted by the forces down in the Glitch, the third layer of the universe, and a type of damnation for very wicked spirits. To keep the elements balanced and none of them being corrupted (which would turn them against Karrat), Karrat made the Elemental Guardian, a combination of all the eight natural elements. However, flash-forward time, during the battle in Excalibur II, Kaiden, an ally to the MANCM, accidentally glitched himself out of the explosion in the hull, escaping the madness. However, this did have a very nasty side effect, when Kaiden glitched out, he got sent from the first layer, down to the digiverse, a virtual world, and all the way down to the glitch. Nobody was ever able to move through layers without no-clipping through them, but in Kaiden's case, broke through so fast that the infamous ascension point was made. The ascension point allows creatures from any layer to travel through the other layers with no effect on them at all. This means that after Kaiden came back, opening the hole/tunnel even further, entities from the glitch, which are mostly corrupted souls, can infect and easily bring down creatures from the upper layers. Because of the ascension point and the evil slipping through it (and the fact that the seven elements composing it were unstable without an eighth element to tame it), The Elemental Guardian could not contain the force and was eventually corrupted. Seeing the tribes in great danger, Karrat called upon Thantrick, a legendary figure only awakened under calamities, and the Beholder, another legendary figure who works with/for the Narrator. During this great duel, the elemental tribes also weaponized themselves with stuff taken from the Terra Worlds like Prizey hundreds of years before and almost destroyed the now-corrupted guardian. The good news is that the guardian is offline and gone, but the bad news is that the guardian is offline and gone! Karrat didn’t seem to care that he had off-putting the protector of the Utopia (Earth-64) and Earth-46 to sleep or something, to make it worse, Karrat left on another mediation journey soon after, and the whole planet broke into pieces, with the splinters barely reassembling themselves thanks to elemental power. Now all the tribes are fighting each other for control of the world (with alliances being formed everywhere to combat/battle others), and it’s anybody’s game. Now about the pure souls, I hope you remembered because they’re relevant now, the Pillar of Light was able to create not only those rectangle things (Vins, which are trained by Utopians to do various things and win contests and stuff like that), but also pure soul Utopians, who technically aren’t bound to any element (until they got reclassified as an element themselves), and thus cannot be corrupted (it later turned out that they can be mentally and spiritually corrupted instead of physically corrupted like the others). They also have possibly the most overpowered ability in the entirety of the eight outer worlds, the eighth element, soul energy. Pure utopians can charge up matter and unleash high-powered laser beams which wreck the rest of the elements, causing them to stop fighting and become neutral again. However, one of the pure Utopians turns out to be a greedy little rat and made his own company, RowBow (rebranded from Ro-Bow) Studios, and used his soul energy to pretty much “enslave” the elemental tribes. (It's in quotation marks because he just never allowed them to interfere with whatever he was doing.) This little rat is known as Rob-lock CO. (or Co. or Co) despised by many. He hired spies everywhere and is now the current ruler of Utopia. He also ruined the reputation of the pure utopians, which now began to be called "impures". One group of "still-pure, untruely pure" utopians were very unhappy about this and went to start their colony known as the Happy Town. These Utopians worship Karrat and have been rest assured the situation will be dealt with. Other Soul Utopians exist elsewhere. Karrat didn’t want to destroy any of his creations and he never will, so he told the Happy Town's inhabitants that soon, someone would open up the universal barrier, find Utopia, defeat Rob-lock CO. (Not CEO, that's his even more evil hidden master who definitely wasn't taught by Mr. Anaconda and Mr. Ancona. Not Conan), and restore peace to Utopia (hopefully redeeming Rob-lock CO). Since the evil kept ignoring the first eight realms, Karrat had to create about eighteen other realms to protect this three-by-three world map, making the whole thing look like a cube. However, those realms can only be attained through meditation and REBOOT's phasing technology. Meanwhile, the presence of the Digiverse (Layer 2) and The Glitch (Layer 3) were counterbalanced through layers -1 and -2. Karrat decided to make another home for himself... Layer 0, a thin layer that the Maker of the universe itself sometimes resides in. Now all the elements are once again fighting in the modern era with their twenty-second century technology, Rob-lock is ready to start the Last Conquest to take over and finally subjugate his world, and Vincent and Co. are about to show up.

Okay, so, basically, after the final defeat of Rob-Lock, Utopia is at peace at last, but the MANCM Universe still has its problems. Even though Rob-Lock is gone, he has done a century's worth of repair in damage, REBOOT has been kicked off the throne, and Ethan would not have control over the entire universe. To keep the team running (as with as Ethan's ego), they scramble to find a method to gain back all their power. This creates a problem for Ethan because well, he kind of can't ask Rob to pay (he got wrecked lol). so, in the words of Ethan, "If we can't charge his body then gosh darn it i'm gonna charge his soul, nobody escapes the wrath of REBOOT." to fix this, REBOOT contructed a secret, powerful underground lab on the edge of the first and second layer, where they use strange devices to physically grab powerful souls to recontruct their power. The first soul REBOOT finds is the remains of the Left-hand man, who contains a substantial amount of power due to being blessed with shapeshifting abilities, and will find remains of defeated villians and use their souls for power. to keep the souls contained, each soul is encased in a flesh-like prison, preventing, or at least, delaying their escape. the method onto which they generate power goes like this: transfer energy through the soul, the soul will automatically take in and produce more energy, and the device takes back some energy as profit. sounds pretty good, right? Wrong, Dummy! you see, when REBOOT does claim its profit, the soul also slightly enhances, and eventually, gains enough power to overcome the prison and reform back and resemble their mortal selves, recovering all their wounds and giving them new fighting abilities. Due to the [REDACTED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE], REBOOT is forced to abandon their super base, which does allow one of the Created Souls to escape.
