With a burst of speed, Brandon, Carrie, Jennifer and David who was carried in a bubble, burst out of the hotel, destroying it as multiple aliens were climbing the building

All around them the buildings were crawling with these rapidly rotating creatures and it was clear that like the Earth in the future that they had come back from, the humans had all been exterminated

There were ruined buildings everywhere, and it was in fact strange that they had teleported into one of the hotels that still stood

Destroyed cars littered the roads with broken human skeletons everywhere and the city that they were in no longer looked anything like a city, rather ruins of a dead civilization

Looking all around, Brandon pondered to himself. If Hancock had not stopped him, would he have destroyed the Earth like this? He remembered wanting to when he lost his temper at his unfortunate human parents.

He looked at Carrie, who had a similar destructive though unintentional murderous streak. She had not been as destructive as him, and had wanted to kill herself after killing her mother, but she is much more powerful now, and he remembered her losing control of her powers, causing an earthquake and killing many in Wisconsin!

"Hey... Brandon. Maybe we should get out of here? I can just do it with Jennifer again and we're out of here" David said

"How do you know this isn't our dimension?" Brandon asked

"Well, we just have to be sure. We look for Mary, or Hancock. We also left Matt and Eric behind. They wouldn't easily be defeated" Jennifer said

Brandon nodded his head, and had a thought. Did they have to do this every dimension they come across trying to get back home?

He grabbed on to Jennifer as she couldn't fly as fast, and Carrie who could started flying at superspeeds

Within the day, taking only a few hours, they had looked for Mary in Los Angeles and for Hancock, Matt and Eric in New York. But none of them could be found

By all accounts, there didn't seem to be anyone else alive in the United States besides them and the aliens

"Hey, what's that?" Jennifer pointed to a ruined bus

At it's side was a poster of the "Angel of Verdun", where humanity had supposedly won a great battle a while ago

"There still seems to be a human resistance in Europe" Carrie said

"We're going there to help them?" David asked

"This might not be our dimension, but I want to give these aliens a bloody nose and give the humans a helping hand" Brandon said

David sighed as Brandon and Carrie shot off towards Europe at superspeed

--

They passed England which was still full of humans as Carrie and Jennifer read the minds of the many people they scanned who were all thinking about humanity's last hope, with the invasion of France

Carrie and Jennifer searched around and discovered that the old Heathrow airport had been converted into a military base

It was night time and they hovered in the air, trying to decide on what their next step was

"Is that guy waving to us?" Jennifer asked as she pointed to a man desperately waving at them in the dark

"Strange, but let's see what this is about" Brandon said as he flew towards the man and landed in front of him

"You! Thank god you are real" the man said

"Do you know us?" Brandon asked as Carrie, Jennifer and David landed next to him

"Yeah! Cage mentioned you, if you showed up" the man said as he showed them a childish drawing

It was a barely recognizable drawing of Superman, Phoenix, Ms Martian and Nightcrawler. Their costumes were badly drawn and barely recognizable, but their hair color was that of Brandon, Carrie, Jennifer and David!

Brandon frowned but he could understand how he was identified as Superman

"Ms Martian... not a bad typology" Carrie said as she complimented Jennifer

But Jennifer laughed at David

"Nightcrawler? Where's your tail David?" Jennifer laughed

Brandon look confused and asked the man who he was

"I... I am Dr Noah Carter. I am... a specialist in Mimic Biology. And Cage... he says he has seen you four several times. And he's hoped that you would show up especially tonight" Dr Carter said

"What's this about?" Carrie asked

Dr Carter explained to them that Cage has been experiencing time loops of the multiple times he's failed to defeat the Mimics and that he and Sgt Rita Vrataski aka the Angel of Verdun are leading the team he is in the J-Squad to the Louvre, Paris to kill the Omega Mimic

Cage had told Dr Carter to get Brandon and the others to help if they could, having seen their powers in previous time loops

Brandon frowned as he had never experienced whatever Cage told Dr Carter, but he decided to go and see what was going on

After experienced various superpowers, interdimensional travel and time travel, time loops didn't seem that strange. And it was an alien invasion after all, in which Brandon had experienced multiple times with the invasion of Los Angeles, and the white spike invasion in another dimension

"So where are they now? How long ago did they leave?" Brandon asked

"They left 2 hours ago. They should be in the midst of battle now!" Dr Carter said

"Right. Got it. Let's go" Brandon said as he looked at David

"Louvre, Paris you say?" David said as he held hands with Brandon, Carrie and Jennifer in a circle and suddenly vanished

They could fly at superspeeds, but David's teleportation was instantaneous

They suddenly found themselves ankle deep in water as an explosion attracted their attention

A jumpship was being attacked by multiple mimics and firing machine gun fire as the craft desperately rammed into the glass pyramid of the Louvre

Two people stumbled out of the craft and Brandon could see that it was a man and who he recognized from the poster as the Angel of Verdun

They were both hid behind some ruined cars as a blue Mimic hunted them

Suddenly the woman kissed the man and  bolted attracting the attention of the blue mimic as the mimic followed her as the man ran the other direction towards a pool of water

 The blue mimic cornered the woman and was just about to kill her when Brandon suddenly landed on it, ripping it's body to bits

The woman sighed a sigh of relief as she looked at the teenage boy with his companions landing near him

"So.. you're superman that Cage talked about" she said as she looked in the other direction looking for Cage

"Looking for him?" Carrie asked as she picked him out of the water together with the pulsating Omega who floated helplessly in the air above them

Cage looked stunned as he floated in the air and smiled when he saw Brandon and the rest, especially at Rita

"Glad to see you made it" he smiled

"So what do we do with this?" Carrie asked, referring to the Omega

"Destroy it" Cage said

Carrie obliged and squeezed the Omega into a tight ball, destroying it as it exploded into a pile of mush

Cage, who was let down to the floor rushed to Rita as they both hugged and kissed

"It's over" Cage said

"No it's not" Rita said as she scooped up the dead Omega's blood and started rubbing it onto her own and Cage's face

"What are you doing?" Carrie asked as their eyes were filled with Omega blood

"We... we can't live like this. We need to restart again" Rita said as they both looked like they had been overcome with the Omega blood and both dropped dead

"What the hell?" David said

"It's what they wanted. I hope they know what they are doing" Carrie said, reading Rita's mind

"Lets just get out of here. All this time loops and time travel is confusing me" Brandon said as he started stripping

"Just what I was waiting to hear" David said as he pulled out his cock and started masturbating it

Jennifer smiled and walked over to Brandon, bending over to suck him. Moments later David came up behind her and entered her while Carrie held both Jennifer and Brandon's hand, while kissing both of them

In an instant they disappeared
