It was a way out. But it wasn't home.

Truthfully, after Norfinbury, anything would be better than that place, but the cold truth was--there was no way to find his own universe out of the endless multiverse, even if Norfinbury's busted technology had worked properly. He was stuck, here, with a megalomaniac Flynn--granted, a Flynn that managed to open up a portal out of there. Maybe that's what it took to get out of Norfinbury.

Or, Peter thought sometimes on bad days, Norfinbury only released you once you became the twisted version of yourself it wanted you to be. A specially-designed virus inflicted on countless worlds.

Besides, he ought to know something about that.

He didn't stay long on earth, he couldn't. Maybe it had something to do with the mystery of how they were revived in Norfinbury, their bodies recreated or cloned or healed, or maybe it was something that was gonna happen to him anyway, but he could feel the Light burning inside him, inside his head almost as soon as he landed. A desperate need to take to the stars. He'd managed to create a ship and took off.

Time passes, and scientists notice something odd about several exoplanets they're monitoring, especially ones marked as 'earth-like' or other planets in zones that could make them potentially habitable. Bright bursts of light and changes in the composition of the atmosphere or surface, it was inexplicable. Possible evidence of intelligent life? If they didn't know any better, especially with the rocky planets that now somehow boasted extreme changes, it was like something was terraforming them.

There was cause for alarm when Mars suddenly turned blue and green a few months later.

Meanwhile, a small blue-and-orange ship that looked suspiciously like a slightly more organic-looking Milano was racing towards the earth.

oh hey man howd you get this number

cool a mystery message

shoot

hey there mate

its your new best pizza slash video game friend

hows the whole getting over trauma by enslaving the galaxy thing going

hey buddy hows it hanging hope youre doing ok and the games have been aweeeeeeeesome

pretty great im actually taking over one planet right now caught me at a weird time

should i go for three continents or two and a bigger ocean

anyway i did wanna ask you something about my flowers

i lost a lot of flowers

see i told you they are the best

glad you like them

three continents so more people can live on it

still super uncool that whole killing thing by the way

really? thats so weird

super fun dude youre really good at making video games

ok sounds cool did you want a mountain range named after you or anything

it wasn't that bad I gave them like a couple hours warning and there was only a few cities on that planet anyway

Yeah it was really weird did you see what happened?

and youre still not convinced theyre better than the real deal?

how about the entire planet?

but no that still sounds really bad

a couple of hours is really not that long to evacuate a planet you know

no where do you usually keep them?

not quite the same dude sorry

Ok cool this planet is now the Ezekiel Jones planet congratulations

I mean they're only mortals right I don't have to go out of my way to warn them I'm just being nice?

In my greenhouse

This sucks

They're part of me I felt when they died

if i find something you like better than destroying the universe will you stop?

oh wow i did not actually think you would do that

tbh i feel a little guilty to have a planet you just wiped out with my name since you know i still think your wiping out sucks?

like its nothing personal youre a great guy and all but the killing is super off-putting

whats your beef with mortals btw were we mean to you or anything because that is kind of a strong reaction there?

so wait you felt your flowers die but dont know who did it? like they dont make you see their surrounding? thats too bad

I guess but I mean good luck finding it

Yeah i can see where you're coming from with that but most mortals think that way you guys don't understand

But it's cool I mean it's not like anybody really owns this planet anymore except me so

nobody's gonna judge you or anything

it's kind of like you know how people just smash flies without thinking? It's kinda like that

I'm not going out of my way to crush people but if it happens like whoops oh well

you don't feel bad burning down an anthill do ya

I can feel the flowers but there's not enough of 'me' there yet to really see or sense much

But I can feel them

yeah it sucks I dunno what happened

You think it was your pal the other guy?

alright its a deal let me get back to you on that

uh but thats not what youre doing

you are going to where the flies and the ants live and smash them on purpose

like i could understand if they were stealing your food or tried to bite you but thats not even happening

which brings me back to 'it sucks'

no stone is a great guy

i actually think it was flynn because that guy sucks and it just totally sounds like something hed do

speaking of which can you do me a favor?

ok cool man

but the thing is

they're flies and ants so nobody cares, most of the time theyre pests and infest stuff they shouldnt be in anyway?

are you sure hes not like a thief or something

DUDE it had to be flynn was he here can he do magic stuff like that

yknow it's so weird with him using magic im not used to it and it freaks me out if im being honest

a favor? ok

cool cool

why so insulting mate

maybe were cool ants

and besides have you ever had an ant make you a video game

sweet thanks

so im totally trying to prank flynn but his dumb magic makes it really hard so if you could distract him like a LOT the next time i text you that would be awesome

well some of you are cool ants

Youre a cool ant then

the coolest video game making ant

Oh YEAH bro he totally has it coming

thats a great idea you're a genius!

How are you gonna prank him

thanks mate

thats nice coming from an omnipotent being you know

makes you feel special and all

well so heres the thing hes controlling my friend and it kind of sucks

so while you distract him i want to free stone from that influence but were not gonna tell flynn

and stone is really strong and when flynn comes back stone will totally beat him up

omg hes gonna be super mad and think his magic sucks and it will be hilarious

oh man im sorry to hear about your bro

that really sucks flynn can be such a horrible jerk sometimes

totally sucks

and yeah i am so down with your plan and i hope he kicks his butt

please film it for me

i know right?? what is his problem that is such an uncool thing to do like seriously

thanks mate youre the best

you are so much cooler than flynn too
