*We fade into the Battle Chamber of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. The house lights are off but there is a feint glow coming from the middle of the ring. Accompanying it is a voice we have not heard for a while.*
"Plans were in motion this year to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the OG-FPD. In their obsessive focus on the whole, milestones from the component parts routinely got ignored. For those with uncorrupted memories, and we are now in the minority - *laughter* - this year brings yet another anniversary. A most unfortunate one.
Twenty-five years ago, the true UBL was ended in its sale to the Yoshidas. In the vast span of the cosmos, twenty-five years is nothing. But for me, an eternity has passed with every second that I have been trapped in this corrupted timeline. So I did what any hero would do - make it my life's mission to rectify this cataclysmic event.
And four months ago, I succeeded.
You may have heard rumors, you may have held doubts.
But it is now time to force your eyes to adjust to this new reality."
*The lights turns on and we see Cosmic K*I*D standing in the middle of the ring.
In his hands, held high in victory, are two halves of a Championship belt.*
[K*I*D:] "I successfully ripped the Space-Time Continuum Title in June.
It was the first time I held that glorious honor since 1998. As a result, I reshaped the universe in the image that I chose. No one in UBL or OG-Joshi is immune. No one besides me retains memories of the old universe before I reset it. All prior relationships - old allies and rivals, lovers and enemies, have been ripped apart.
I address you, the fans, with this bargain.
Accept what I have done - rip the bandage off, embrace finality, and your nostalgic wounds will heal.
In time, you will all be allowed back in the arena - the Georges Lemaître Memorial Arena.
For now, I will ensure that the OG-FPD affiliated websites begin airing the events that have taken place over the past few months. We began, appropriately, with our Æther event.
Æther was the "catalyst" - *K*I*D laughs* for our new tours.
The "Big Rip" tour interrupts both streams of the UBL "Collider" Tour. Your gambit has failed, Wingate.
The "Detention" Tour interrupts the OG-Joshi "After School Fun Special" Tour. Playtime is over, Carter.
I am in control here. In time, you won't remember anything different. This is what is best. The universe has been ripped so that the time steam may properly heal.
UBL will once again achieve cosmic glory and OG-Joshi will ride its comet trails to true immortality.
Æther will explain everything, as it always has. Let us consume the quintessence of the heavens."
*Cosmic K*I*D snaps his fingers and the lights go out.*
