Chapter 49 - Chapter 44: Even in the labyrinth, there are truths, part 2

Antoinette looks into the eyes of the Fighting Cat. He was distinguished by his speed like that of a cheetah. This Fighting Cat called himself Cat-ingululenippy. His voice deepened slightly when he spoke while wearing his feline suit. Antoinette felt fear, knowing who he was. Again, this Fighting Cat said in an angry voice:

_You betrayed me!"

_Alexander! That's a lie!"

Walking menacingly around Antoinette, Cat-ingululenippy continued speaking.

_You know what they did to me! You know what I went through! It's something they think men can't live with!

_I do know! The world might give very low statistics compared to women, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Numbers don't lie, but people do. That's the reality! Alexander! Brother! I believe you!" _My father! Our father! According to you, you're a superhero! You saw that damn Spivot throw her knife at me, Dad stepped in to save me! You could have taken him to a hospital! You can fly! I know you're going to say: you could have done the same thing, but I was so devastated by my father's death, I was so destroyed that I wasn't able to move, I wasn't able to save him! But you! You who didn't have him, you who can't feel emotions! You could have saved him and you didn't, murderer! You're a murderer! You betrayed me! You betrayed your family!

Antoinette didn't know what to say, she thought Alexander (her biological brother who is on Earth 02, since the one she is going to see is her doppelgänger on FIREFLY, Earth 01 and the doppelgänger of her sister Britney) was accusing her of another betrayal which tormented her, but she didn't imagine they would come out with this.

_ You are a voracious fire which you shouldn't have become! - said Alexander bringing out his powers as Fighting Cat, but Hansel (now transformed into Cat-Storm) takes his wife away from the place and prepares to fight with Cat-ingululenippy (Alexander)

_ Ghodrat! Ghodrat! Ghodrat! "Gooooooooooooooo-draaaaaaaaaaaaat!" Loud thunderclaps shot from Cat-Storm's eyes, which he launched at Cat-ingululenippy. However, his great speed, far exceeding that of a leopard, managed to dodge them. From this Fighting Cat came the loud roar of a cheetah, but Cat-Storm's was almost impossible to name because he had so many superpowers. Sky Panther purposely spun the ship around so that these two Fighting Cats wouldn't destroy it. Although the laws of physics prevailed in that black hole, the Fighting Cats' superpowers prevailed. Hansel pulled Alexander out so as not to destroy the spaceship, and outside they fought to the death. The ship detected another presence, which Iris Hauer followed when trying to get Antoinette and the others out of the black hole. "Logs!" Ginger exclaimed. "What did you find?" Iris asked. "It's Cat-Storm! He's fighting Cat-ingululenippy, but he still detected three other life forms inside this black hole, two of them ours."

_Interpret what your scan says, Water Cat- Ice Cat ordered- Cat-motorcyfleet and Cat-Iqinilelion entered, and a man who has already converted.

Ice Cat froze, staring in fear, unable to move.

_Jayden! Andrei!- Iris shouted.

First, the man who converted was the one who entered the ship. Once inside, Antoinette questioned who he was.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" In the Sentinel Legion, William O'Connel unifies the Sentinels' technology and conducts a geospatial scan to find a way in to get Jonathan McMahon and the others out of the Black Hole.

_ The astronomers gave it a slightly odd name in astronomical terms, said O'Connel, but they called it "The Unbroken Voracious Consumer," abbreviated as CVI8. They see this Black Hole as "unrepeatable."

_ Patterson was the one who proposed that name to NASA while it's still undestroyed, said Blake Tomlinson (WildCat), and it was accepted. "Looks like we need an astronomer urgently!"

_ We have an astrophysicist with us! - said Dae-Hyun (The Looter), the doppelgänger of Jonathan McMahon's deceased niece.

_ Deceased niece? - asked Diana (The Speedster), worried.

_ Hauer revealed the truth to us," said The Plunderer. "Kiara McMahon, The Earth Cat, is a pseudonym she uses because she's actually an Outlander-Alien, she's a Warshapian, Jonathan McMahon's niece in reality..." Dae-Hyun stopped, his face expressing sadness. "She's dead.

Moment of silence, the Sentinels look at each other.

Later on,

_We Sentinels aren't just spies with great gifts!" said Dae-Hyun. "We also warn of dangers! And everyone here knows the enormous danger that will entail if Sergei McMahon lives thinking his daughter is alive.

_Keep in mind, boss," said Saito with a bit of pride, "that both McMahon and his brother are alien doppelgängers, who knows? What if they can become like that and have that gift that those aliens (Warshapians) have: of detecting the prescience of doppelgängers?

_ We haven't proven that yet- Blake said- and if there is no proof, there are no things to say, because a sentinel alerts, but alerts with true things.

_ Excuse me! (Sarcasm), I was just giving my point of view.

_ Well, calm down, everyone- Dae-Hyun ordered- Now is not the time to fight! Be that as it may, if we look at it not from the scientific perspective, but from the paternal perspective, it is obvious that McMahon will not lose hope of finding his daughter Kiara if he has not yet received reports about her, but now....we already know the truth, and it is something that Sky Panther already has to tell him.

_ "Boss!" William said, addressing Dae-Hyun. "The Earth Cat, Earth Scientist, and Astronomer has already interpreted the space scanner and performed a geo-intergalactic scan, and has already seen where one can enter. The question is: Who will enter CVI8?"

_ "I will!" Dae-Hyun said with determination. Meanwhile, Fiorella arrives at the Sentinels' command center. Elaine addresses her with sarcasm and a touch of mockery (since she holds some resentment over the fight that took place on the unknown planet and she (Elaine, The Electric Eel, fought Armin)

_ You should have stayed on that ship with your husband! That way we'd have one less problem to worry about!

_ Elaine! Now's not the time to talk about that, much less with what happened," Jackeline said in her defense, "and I think Fiorella must be feeling sad right now."

_ Totally agree! - Diana said.

_ As I mentioned, let's focus on the mission: the leader, along with the interim leader or co-leader, will enter CVI8. Although McMahon is in there, Townsend will come with me.

_ Michael Tyndale with FIREFLY

_ Time goes back! But I'll be the one to enter that "The black hole they speak of... I will enter CVI8," Michael said with his characteristically mysterious and daring voice. "I inform you that Malenfant will also do so, but since it is not yet time for him to know of our existence, I will not tell him who I am." Michael contacted the Sentinels. "Park! Kiara McMahon's real name, the Earth Cat, is Kiara Skyintelluncanny. Her father and paternal uncles also had the same last name.

In The Fighting Cats

_I'm going in!" said the Ice Cat. "It may seem like I'm doing it mainly because it's my husband and my brother who entered, but I'm still going to do it."

_ Cat-Storm and Cat-ingululenippy are fighting each other," exclaimed the Wall Cat (Beatrice Patterson). "Are you going to stop their fight, or how shall we proceed, interim leader?"

_ The Fire Cat, our leader, will be the one to stop them."

_ "Wait!- said the Water Cat.- I have records that not only FIREFLY, the Sentinel Legion, Malenfant, and us will send the leader, the interim leader, and the co-leader."

_ What records do you have? Who else would enter CVI8? asked Iris Hauer. "Who else would enter if everyone is so focused on surviving the end of the world?

Ginger lets out a deep sigh.

_ Skyintellstraighwar, Armin Skyintellstraighwar! And as I told you, his right-hand man at the time was Cameron Skyintellcunnin... now he's another alien, who is not of the Warshapian race, but by the canonical laws of INFINITY... he has now taken his place.

While the leaders and co-leaders of the organizations were preparing to enter the black hole, Jonathan has the opportunity to speak with the mysterious man who entered the ship. He took the conversion and the injection. rejuvenating, who although Antoinette asked him over and over again who he was, he didn't answer and stared at her. When Jonathan arrived, the tension calmed.

_ Well? Who is this man?"

_ He's my brother! Jonathan exclaimed, before he could run away, it was that man, Sergei McMahon, who ran to hug him immediately, hugging him extremely tightly and bursting into tears.

Hansel and Alexander continued to fight each other. There were stars that were attracted like magnets to where the heroes were fighting, and Hansel was the one who best used them to his advantage (Cat-Storm). With his extremely deep voice, which became so deep when he fully put on his feline suit, he said to Alexander:

_ Even if you're destroyed, that's no excuse to take it out on the first person you meet!

_ Don't come teaching me lessons!" Alexander said evasively (with a deep voice but higher pitched than Hansel's with (suit on) - My sister is cerebral and stubborn to a fault, and you are the complete opposite.

_ "In the face of life's storms, you must make a choice: either you become a helpless victim of circumstances, or circumstances become your helpless victims, turning you into their cruel enemy."

_ Very philosophical! (sarcasm)

Snarling, Hansel attacks Alexander again, throwing lightning bolts at him from his eyes and strong winds that he made with his hands. Alexander runs too fast managing to evade everything, at one point when Hansel got tired of using his powers, Alexander runs and pounces on his brother-in-law and attacks him like a cheetah attacks its prey. The battle was taking place on a "ground", which was the central part of the black hole where there was gravity, after fighting for a while, they stared at each other for a while, there were impressive constellations inside the black hole, stars, "planets", but they also saw fiery meteorites passing very close to them, a meteorite was heading exactly where Hansel was and Alexander saved him by running and taking him far away, then, Alexander breaks the ice:

_ Before the arrival of the cataclysm in the United States, there was a young man named Aubrey McGregor with whom I was able to talk in a skyscraper and he told me a philosophy very similar to yours, only that it reflected positivism and yours reflects being a fighter.

_ And why did you forget her? Why attack your older sister?

_ Come on! You tell me that anyway because she's your wife, and you defend her!

_ She's your sister too! (shouting)

Moment of silence

Just as there are things that need to be fixed between married couples, and only they should do so," Alexander said, "there are also things between siblings that we need to fix."

"With violence?"

"He was my father, Hansel. I could only feel his love for a few minutes, and he was taken from me. Antoinette could have saved him, but no! Her cerebral pride prevented her from doing so."

"The first person to present their case seems to be right, until the other side comes along and questions what the first person said."

"Could you please stop using wisecracks? Because at the end of the day, you decided to fight me! You're too impulsive."

"You don't know me well yet. Don't jump to conclusions about me. Instead, tell me: Why did you show up at the FeliFastLeader and call Antoinette a traitor, ready to attack her? Or what the hell are you doing here in this black hole, at the Base of the Multiverse?"

_ In the same way, you don't know me well either! And the truth is, I wasn't going to fight like I fought you and my sister. I have my reasons, so you better ask her. But I can let you know that on Earth O2, although it seems relatively calmer than here, things are actually still going very badly, in their own way and with their available resources, but they are.

Hansel continued to look at him challengingly.

_ Look, let's put this aside. It's not so easy for me to focus on things, but given the circumstances, let's get back to the ship! Antoinette needs both of us, especially you, since you're her husband.

Jonathan talks with Sergei alone to tell him the truth.

_ You know I'm very sorry about Miley, but... I want to ask you a question: have you found out Kiara's whereabouts?

"Not really," Sergei replied, his head bowed, "but... you know that hope is the last thing to die. My little girl is very strong, and I'm sure she's alive, and that she hasn't even forgotten him, nor her mother, although it will be sad to tell him she's dead."

"Sergei, you need to know this: Kiara is dead," Jonathan said in a dry tone of voice.

"Please, Jonathan! I'm not up for your periods of emotional absence right now."

"It's the truth. You know I gave myself completely to being a spy, to being a Sentinel. I can understand you because they took my little girl from me anyway, and now she's finally back to me after having lived delusional that she was dead. But you must stop your search on our Earth, on Earth O2, because my niece isn't alive. She was murdered from the moment they took her away before Miley's terrifying gaze. The forensics confirmed it, and I went to bury her, but I couldn't tell you for you know what."

Sergei felt like he'd been sentenced to prison; his daughter was dead!

A very powerful spaceship, known as the USS Impervious, teleported Jawara, Yadir, Michael, and Ariche, still in the midst of dense darkness and time running backward.

On the ship

"Father?" Yadir said, running to Joe to hug him.

"You don't know how glad I am that you still call me that even though you know I'm not biologically one," Joe said, still hugging Yadir.

Later, Joe tells Jawara more about Sharon, who is the biological daughter of Agnar and Dayacely Winterhall, and that Yadir and Iris are two children he adopted, finding them abandoned but not resting until he found their parents. However, there were still more truths about Madeleine that he would eventually learn, and that he would also learn about Joe. Yamal was with his father and reveals to Jawara that he is Hansel Patterson's (Cat-Storm) biological brother and that it is something he must inform the entire team.

_ Is Hansel the same skin color as you, Iris, and Yadir?

_ No, - he answered.
