End the - wait! The MULTI-VERSE?!? And that meant... !!!

At long last, it seemed to be clicking in Eudial's mind. If the multi-verse was going to end, then all worlds, galaxies, and alternate universes were as well. Including...

"Home..." she gasped. "No. No way... this isn't happening..."

Okay, time-out. Perhaps she was over-dramatizing things. She looked at the others. Nobody else seemed to share her panic or alarm that their worlds would be consumed as well. In fact, she seemed to be the only one who even seemed to visibly care. But that alone freaked her out even more. How could they be so calm?! She was supposed to be the villain here! Not any of them! Why was she the only one who gave a damn about their world?!

But maybe, said another voice in her head, it's not about being good or evil, if everything is going to end. Perhaps it's about keeping a level head and making the most of what time you have, if you are able to stop this. Clearly they care, or they would not have followed this Professor fool. And at any rate, even he doesn't seem to realize much of the situation. This calmed her down, and she resumed her usual attitude. She strode up to Vengeance, no longer intimidated by him.

"All right, I've had enough of this," said Eudial. She was still pale, but her mind was set. "You're holding a great deal back, and now that my own world is in jeopardy, I demand answers. Who exactly are you, and what do you have to do with this? And I mean ANYTHING to do with this. I've misjudged you up until now. Tell me everything!"
