Nolan looks into the tracker with Cleo that she bugged Amanda with the same one Larke used on the Miller Family. Nolan observed that his son intereacted with Lydil Red and that he must go to the White House.
Chapter 2[]
Nolan being aware of what the heroes decides that it's best to pay them a visit to the White House, which is something Cleopatra also considers. Whereas she turns herself into water to travel he just flies there
Nolan arrives at the white house and spefically in front of Ford who ponders about what Lydia mentioned to him about the Nano Gauntlet.
Omni Man greeting Ford. Ford greets him as Nolan, and that it's a long time, this he admits. Ford asks what's he wants, Nolan tells Ford that he is aware that Ford looked into and stole his file to give to the presdient. Ford tells him it was necessary, Nolan states that's not a way to treat like an old friend.
Ford is surpised he remembers, Omni Man tells Ford that he told him to go to Gravity Falls to seek weirdness, He wrote an article on the remarkableness of Stanford Pines and he still has it as Nolan shows Ford. Ford questions Nolan's intents regarding Lydia, Omni Man is after Lydil Red and he is annoyed Ford is protecting her from him. Ford tells Omni Man that he never told Ford he was an alien, and had plans for the human race and that he was just like Bill Cipher.
Nolan takes offense and grabs Ford and tells he is nothing like Bill Cipher, he is not some maniac triangle who wanted an endless party, Nolan even calls out Ford for trusting Bill, which Ford admits he did and tells him to stop reminding Ford of this becuase he really was Ford's friend. Ford states some friend he was, he exposed the repuation of Team Free Will, and is using Cleo to get to Lydil
Ford is told by Nolan that he and the Virtumites are the future, not humanity and that he will do anything he must to insure of this success and no one will be safe if they cross him not even Ford.
Returning back to the base, Omni Man asks if Cleo said anything about the gauntlet and Cleo states Team Free Will is not aware of the Nano Gauntlet being in her posession though she suspects Lydia knows about the Nano Gauntlet and told them. When Questioned, Lydia did hold up the gauntlet on her in turn. Nolan notting this asks how would this kid know and suspects she is the masked heroine he is after. Cleo deflects this stating they just know each other and states that Sweet Pete was how Cleo herself knew of the Nano Gauntlet.
Nolan then checks up on Mr. X and Professor Marmlade and learns about the Bad Guys who managed to hack into the servers and have info on M.A.L.I.C.E. Omni Man states that's not important as M.A.L.I.C.E is a front for him.
Thinking back to a simple time when He was writing up the article on Ford, he reminsces about their friendship back then. Nolan advised Ford to go to Gravity Falls to get info on the wierd and when asked it's revealed that Ford introduced Nolan to his wife.
Chapter 3[]
Nolan thinks back to everything and decides that he must weaken humanity to some degree and he gives Professor Marmlade the go ahead to have alien life invade which goes hand and hand with the leader of M.A.L.I.C.E
He wants to see how Ford handles those aliens as Nolan recalls what Ford found in Gravity Falls, and believes aliens might be the way to do so. Upon being told of the Maritans, Omni Man realizes that they actually had Lydil Red, her sidekick, The Bald Gringo, a smooth talking Lawyer and 2 FBI Agents on their tail. Dissapoitned Ford didn't do anything, decides he needs to settle things with Ford's Kid. When asked about this, Nolan states if that kid can deal with Martians and dispose of whatever the hell alien came through that portal he didn't make. He has to unmask the heroine immediatly and then expose her, as killing her is too risky as Ford will see to it he goes down if he does
Nolan finds Lincoln, Lydia and Hilda with ease and grabs all them with his hand with Cleo joining him. Nolan tries to force Lydia to take off her mask and reveal who she really is to him as Cleo knows Lydia is lying about gem knowledge. He calls Ford a fool for protecting Lydia from him and reveals his and Ford's former friendship and despite this, Nolan intend to spare Ford from his Virtumie invasion as the only other human he truly respects. Lydia states she won't let him and uses the power stone on Nolan
Nolan and Lydia get into a fight as Lincoln and Hilda both pursue Cleo to try and stop her from getting another gem.
They have an intense fight as Lydia is using the Infinity Stones to keep up with Omni Man and even draws blood from the Virtumite and overpowers. She eventually tires out and Nolan takes the opporunity to see what's behind her mask and as the fact Lydia could fight the Virutmites and kill them with the stones means he can't take the risk. Bruce thankfully saves them and takes advantage of Nolan being tuckered out to find the others.
Nolan is half way calm and half way frustrated with this. Annoyed with Bruce for saving Lydia from ultiamtely saving her from his attempt to unmask her and take her gauntlet, he also is annoyed that the Infinifty Gauntlets allow Lydia to hurt him and possibly even kill him, noting the Infinity Stones can take out the Virtumites.
However he calms himself down, pointing out Lydil can only go at for so long compared to him and that if he needs to fight her he can use a time limit gambit. He learns of Marlmade's death and he shows no care pointing out the Guinea Pig deserved his death for attempting to control alien life.
Chapter 4[]
Omni Man is revealed to have been tracking Team Free Will after their fight with the others. He decides to make a move against Ford spefically, He has his crew go fetch the Soul Gem at an auction. Nolan ponders to himself and decides to wait for Ford to go alone respectively
Ford heads to a dinner and looks at a menu at his table and orders some food and an coffee, however he hears his name being greeted. Ford knows this voice and it's Nolan Greyson
Ford asks what Nolan is doing here, Nolan reveals that he has been following the heroes and the use of the Space Gem of Course. Ford states he ain't going to hurt them. Nolan tells Ford to sit down, he noticed how obessive Ford has been and that the others were right for him to take a break. Nolan sits in Ford's booth and decides to have a chat
Ford Receievs his food and Nolan having done one himself sits too and as they eat. Nolan and Ford both very much back and forth about what each end is attempting to do.
Ford questions Nolan about aliens as his kids have seen them and wonders what M.A.L.I.C.E wants with aliens. While Nolan questions Ford on what he is intenting to accomplish with his plans. Ford puts out a chess board and the two play chess as they discuss what their intention is.
Nolan reveals to Ford that the alien life forms is something he didn't sign up for other than the Virtumites which are the real alien invaders. It's just M.A.L.I.C.E's leader has some plans for maritan life to invade the earth as a way of weakening the human race. Nolan states and that Cleo isn't the leader and neither is he, they are just agents. Ford tells Nolan to reveal who it really is that leads the oraganzation. Nolan states even he doesn't know the leader, just that he is a man with an tobacco habit and lurks in the shadows and that The Mllers, Steelbeak, Mr.X sand the others work for him.
Ford tells Nolan that his plans is of course to stop M.A.L.I.C.E and a way to protect his team from them especially Nolan. Nolan questions Ford on why this matters, as only that Lydil Kid is who Ford is protective of and both him and Cleo came to an agreement not to kill her. This baffles Ford as he thought Nolan wants to kill Lydia, Nolan states Cleo talked him out of it and he decided he just wanted to settle for exposing her as she is a real threat to him and his people as his fight with her showed. Ford states he can't let that and will do what it takes.
Nolan sighs realizing he will have to fight his friend, though he tells Ford after their game of chess and food they shall. He asks Ford about Mark and is he doing okay?, Ford states Mark is doing just fine and that he would be proud of his kid, he also asks Nolan when they do fight. Not in front of these people or anyway. Nolan agrees to this realzing Ford just wants to keep collateral damage from being too high.
Ford and Nolan have both found a bare area and Nolan asks if Ford is ready and this is good for him. Ford states it is just fine and the two nod heads as like it's too say nothing personal between them and that it's just their opposing methods.
Ford and Nolan both fly and run to each other and start fighting. Omni Man using his strength and flight on Ford who has himself equipped ready to go toe to toe with him. Their fight is not as one sided as it should be though Omni Man does make his blows on Ford count while Ford does manage to fare himself well enough with a ray gun and carefully placed traps on Nolan.
Nolan tosses Ford around like a rag doll before throwing him to the ground and Ford rolls away from another punch and Ford proceeds to use some of Truman's weapons on OmniMan in unconventional methods
Ford sees a clock tower and fires a shot off it to hit Nolan though he misses. He still gets a good outcome with how loud the bell is and it makes Nolan stunned and feels very real pain as a result of the Bells and Ford takes his weapon and shot Nolan with it. Nolan is still breathing but he is in pain and then he just grabs Ford and smacks him hard up.
Ford is pinned down and he dares Nolan to kill him right then and there. Nolan can't do it though despite the fact Ford got the drop with him with the bell.
This is whe Eclpisa, Mark, Tweety, Scratch, Sylvester and Amanda and Captain Hero arrive to stop Nolan.
Ford tells them that he has it undercontrol. Mark states he certianly does as he and Eclpisa pull Ford out of there. Scratch, Sylvester and Tweety open fire on Nolan though it doesn't too much.
It does let Amanda and Captain Hero get in and they face fight Nolan again and due to his weakned state they fare better. Ford begins putting two and two together realziing he found a weakness in Omni Man after all as Eclpisa and Mark watch over him
Nolan eventually breaks out of it and fights Amanda and Captain Hero more evenly and viciously. Mark manages to stop this and protects them from his dad, and Amanda stabs Nolan with her blade with Captain Hero holding him.
Ford tries to tell them to leave Nolan alive, as he is not out to kill Ford. Captain Hero adds but it's fair he wants to kill them. Ford states it's more personal than that. Scratch does manage to pull them out in time as Sylvester tries to blow up Omni Man though it fials.
Scratch holds the others from going further and he agrees with Ford that even with this weakened state they can't defeat him. Nolan manages to surivie and flies off.
Nolan confirms to his associates that they are here and that the Soul Gem is within sight. Cleo tells Nolan that she needs to pay another visit to her folks which he allows. Cleo and Nolan both realize something happened with the folks and Cleo needs to check into
Nolan tries to figure out what happeed there when N.Tropy arrives and childes him for being soft on Cleo and Ford. Nolan states Ford is his friend and he is worried about what happened with the folks. N Tropy tells Nolan that he can't risk that for his mission, Ford is protecting Lydil Red and that Cleo is to be mantipulated. Nolans tates he orginally wanted to but did grow a fondness for her. N-Tropy states that he is wasting time, get The Virutmites ready and weaken the reistance. Omni Man tells him of Quentin's passing and N-Tropy shows little care for this as he was a tool to his plan. Nolan is reminded of the goal by N-Tropy and to dipose of Cleo when she uses the Gauntlet and take charge of the invasion
Nolan sighs as N-Tropy leaves, he knows he has to follow his plan but he's stuck between his loyalty to N-Tropy, his people and his partner. Cleo returns and Nolan shows sympathy upon realizing that her parents were killed by some virus. Cleo states it was ma n made and thus giving her another excuse to go after humanity.
Nolan is approached by The Smoking Man and learns through their talk that CSM used Cleo as a vessel to infect and murder her family to keep her on the plan he and M.A.L.I.CE are making and to give a reason to target humanity and Team Free Will. Nolan is disgusted by this and states he's lucky they're associates because if not he would kill Smoking Man right there.
Chapter 5[]
Lincoln, Truman and Lydia all are steaking out and obserivng the Millers, Professor Malestrom, Killian, Archdruidness Sweet Pete, The Ys, Steelbeak and noticing that they are talking with Nolan when it comes to the plan. The three find out Mr. X betrayed them and has been co-operating with the president.
Nolan is not suprised knowing this and was aware someone was in on this, he puts it together why too why Mr.X worked against them. He theorizes Mr. X became aware of the alien invasion plan of his and Smoking Man and left as part of it. The other agents think so too in turn, and reveal that they are on board with it as well. Truman knew something was up indeed, Lincoln asks who is the Smoking Man to Lydia and Truman, Lydia states all she knows it's a guy who smokes and Truman says of course it's someone. Lincoln thinks back as does Lydia and Truman and Lincoln has an eruka moment.
The Ys and The Millers suspect that Odival will talk and tell the heroes this as Archdruidness did betray him. Archdruidness is confident that Odival won't say anything as Bean doesn't trust either of them, Nolan states it doesn't matter if he does the plan will go according for his people and not for CSM. Malestrom hears something and alerts the others, Nolan, The Ys and The Millers all agree with this.
Sweet Pete and Malestrom ask Nolan about the boss and Sweet Pete states that they havn't here anything from him. Nolan states that he is working behind the scenes and can't bring himself in the field like the others due to his age and lack of combat skills.
Nolan, Archdruidness, Malestrom, Steelbeak, Killina and Sweet Pete all watch as the agents bring them in as Nolan suspected alright. Lincoln points his weapon at Nolan and shoots him, Nolan finds this amusing and Lydia then uses the Mind Stone to push them all out of the way. The spies take out their weapons and engage against Truman, Lydia and Lincoln. Nolan decides to head off and when Archdrudiness asks where he's going, Nolan tells her he knows Ford is here now and will go after him.
the only one the Smoking Man needs to know about but also his 2 sidekicks to himself.
Nolan arrives and states that he knew Ford would be here, Ford was expecting to see him as well and is glad he came. Ford presents his sound weapon and uses it on Nolan stunning the Virtumite and causing him pain. Ford then instructs Kim, Anne and Luz to deal with him
Luz and Kim both manage to do a number on him by using their magic and combined powers. Anne doesn't have as much luck due to using a blade and a tennis raquet. Anne and Ford do note that Kim is still going a little overkill on her powers due to lacking the control still. Nolan after taking fire, mud, water hits from KIm and Luz's ice and vine magic breaks free and goes after the 4.
Nolan commends Ford for making leaveway on him though it won't save them hand to hand and he asks why did he indoctirdate the girl. Ford said he didn't, Cleo saved her and transmutated her sister, Nolan understands this and admits he was wrong that M.A.L.I.C.E's leader did take things too far with that. Ford questions why he is helping him, Nolan states he's only helping for now and will turn on him when the gems are completed and the Virtumites arrive, then he throws CSM in with the rest of them for Cleo. Kim doesn't believe him and attacks him with fire and throws her wind powers at Nolan.
Nolan fasicated by the powers her sister gave her asks Kim to join them now that she's a metahuman and that she won't be killed like the rest of humanity. Kim refuses she is not stopping to the level he will and uses dirt powers to keep his mouth shut and buries him. Luz warns her about her power incontience, Kim states she isn't going down that path. Nolan emerges out and Anne and Luz both face off with him. Despite Nolan beating them close and hard to a concussion state, They do get their fare few amountof hits and are saved by Ford using his sound weapon again.
Ford also recongizes Nolan is unable to take intense heat as well as Kim's fire attacks are the thing that hurt him the most as he does so.
Nolan then knocks out Kim, Anne and Luz all brutally and tells Ford to take them to a hopsital before they end up in a coma state as he flies off. Ford gathering the three goes to find Lincoln, Lydia and Truman knowing the Soul Stone could do the trick
CSM sends the Mind Flayed to the hopsital that Marcus was dropped and has it take control of him and then CSM uses the Mind Flayed to enter a portal to start the protocol he has in mind. Nolan and Cleo aren't pleased with this as Nolan considers it barbaric and Cleo states that's her friend's frined.
Nolan puts two and two together and despite the fact he has Lydia dead to rights, he is heisstant to go public with this despite his publcity. Nolan states he can't risk making Ford angry with him and while he can expose the only person who can overpower the Virtumites, would it be worth to hurt his old friend?. Cleo notices and states it's his call and that she wouldn't in his shoes, Nolan states his boss would want her dead or tormented, as he told him that he could get Lydil working with him
CSM states that he would do it no problem and Nolan states that of course Smoking Man would as people like him make Nolan state why he needs to have Virtumites rule over and he needs to speed up this plan to stop the heroes, but also CSM.
Nolan meanwhile calls his fellow Virtumites and tells them that they will have to speed up their invasion and he notes exactly how to do this. He states that The Smoking Man will be a priority to get rid once they do so. Despite both of them seeing themselves above humanity, Nolan is disgusted with CSM's disregard for humanity as even he has more respect for them that he does.
Chapter 6[]
Malestorm, THe Millers, The Ys, Sweet Pete, Steelbeak, Archdruidness and Mina all meet up and reveal that the plan has gone accordingly. The federation belives they are the aliens and that can just swoop in for that last to Nolan, CSM and Cleo respectively. Cleo states her plan is about to go accordingly, Nolan states to remember to let the Vritumites invade, which she agrees to. CSM mocks this view as being pathethic it doesn't matter about fish girls or aliens it's about him ceasing control with his designs and that he has the alien life forms put the attack on and tell them that Nolan and Cleo are both there and even thought they represent M.A.L.I.C.E he wants them weakned so he can put his own plans into use.
Betty, Luz, Anne, Ford, Scratch, Ibuki, Selina, Bruce, Kim, Sylvester, Hilda, Eclpisa, Molly Mcgee, Scratch Mcgee, Sylvester, Truman all brief out and Betty explains that they have been on M.A.L.I.C.E themselves but it was a group called S.U.S.P.E.N.S.E that sent this and Ford knows The Miller Family was behind this as well as Malestorm. Betty confirms and states that it's been a long time since she has been active and that this will be a heck of a time
Luz asks how long and Betty states a long while since according to her memories stopping another spy agency with other guys .
This is when another invasion occurs and it's the Virtumites, Martianss, alien foes, Alpha and Luranis and everyone springs into action . Ford is on his way to help the others until he is stopped by Nolan.
Ford tells Omni Man he needs to save his team and Nolan states that won't be necessary as they will be dealt with in short time. Ford pulls out his sound weapon and other gizmos and beginning Fight Nolan one to one as a result
Ford and Nolan continue their own personal battle of brain vs brawn and it goes to a head when Ford finally gets a shot with his sound weapon on NOlan and then attacks Nolan to go get the others as Amanda tells him that Cleo is going to get the Power Gem. Ford heads off but Nolan grabs him saying that this isn't done yet and the two continue to fight
With Cleo now having the gems, she puts them in her Nano Gauntlet and then snaps her fingers immediatly and this is allows the alien lifeforms to start invading as the humans are disappearing from the multiverse that aren't protected by the heroes.
The Alien forces start invading and collecting the human dust and The Smoking Man deicde to colonize them into hybrids with the aliens he allowed to conquer humanity. This unsettles Nolan as he watches this occur. The Smoking Man asks why, Nolan wanted this and now he has Earth for the empire and he's shocked
Nolan states Virutmites are not like his aliens and that he wanted to rule not do what he's doing. CSM states he honored his word, his race gets the Earth though they are sharing it with the aliens he is cahoots with and to get over it and states if Nolan doesn't CSM will kill his son and that six fingered creep who Nolan state he used to be friends with but still cares enough to keep him out of trouble.
Chapter 7[]
There is little time to celebrate as Nolan did some recongizance and learned some of the team is alive. Cleo and the others realize that Lydia must have protected them with the stones and that the villains recongize they havn't succeeded with the team around namely Lydes.
Nolan and Cleo both decicde to to get to work despite what Nolan being worried she used plenty of her strength with the snap. Cleo insists she is fine as does CSM who sends off M.A.L.I.C.E
As Nolan goes off, he decides he needs to tail Lincoln and Lydia respectfully realizing that are going to try and put a stop to the Virtumites. The Millers want to join him on this and Nolan allows this since they have been useful and they take off. He messages Cleo what he sees
Nolan crashing the party of the kids after their alien foiliing, knowing Ford was trying to keep him away decides to take matters in to his own hands. Lydia decides to engage with Nolan herself with the Mind Stone, Lincoln and Luz both decide to help her and Truman and Betty take the battle stations. All of them fight Nolan with the three kids using the stones on Nolan in their space suits and Truman and Betty using sound based weapons to get Nolan. Nolan admits that Ford must have put alerted them of his weakness. He commends Ford for this but he will still beat the kids.
Lydia uses the Mind Stone to keep Nolan at bay and slams him on asteroids with Nolan grabbing Lydia and throwing her into space with Lincoln and Luz using the Time and Soul Stone on Nolan to keep him on his edges. Hilda is worried and wants to go save her firends, Jauna states she has no idea what's she dealing with. Hilda just jumps in a space suit and attacks Nolan with a Reality Stone managing to hurt Nolan with Lincoln and Luz.
Lydia, Lincoln, Luz and Hilda all manage to use the 4 stones on Nolan as he just fights his way through them. Though he is taking a good deal of damage from the combined stones might and Truman and Betty's using those sound based weapons work too. Nolan reveals how in control he is knowing about how they're wearing out and that he knows that they're over pushing themselves and has his Virtumites basically take them prison to use on Ford. However this is when The Mind Flayer shows on Nolan and attacks him and his Virtumites.
Lydia, Lincoln, Hilda, Luz, Betty, Truman, Jauna, Mulder and Scully all watch as Nolan decides to attack the Flayer and the being themselves and is tossed to the ground with an appendage. Lydia then snaps the Virtumites with the Mind Stone as a result before nearing bringing down to a state of uncosncisouness
Mulder and Scully save her and the others and manage to bring them to cosnicusness as the Mind Flayer was going to attack and persumably kill them. Mulder tells them that they need to go down back to Ford. They agree,
Luz notices that Nolan and The Mind Flayer aren't in this together and it tried to kill Omni Man too.
Ford is hearing about all the details when Nolan shows up unamused to Ford saying did he really think distracting him would work. Ford states he suspected Nolan would know this and that what's he needed. Nolan states the kids were tougher then he thought, he admits he could have had them until that thing showed up.
Ford angered that Nolan was going to kill his friends states he told Omni Man what would happen. Nolan states the Virtumites were killed by that kid of his and that he has been doing much of this for his people and Ford still doesn't get it. Nolan points out worse they were stabbed by that thing that stopped them with the tetnactles.
Ford refers to The Mind Flayer, Nolan understands and states that he suspects the boss wants to keep him quiet metaphorically and literally. Ford tells Nolan that he can stop this, he can stop this guy and let the remaining Virtumites leave in peace
Nolan states he wish he could, it's his people's goal and he will do just that. Nolan states that he just needs to defeat Ford first, Ford is who he considers his biggest yet most admirable threat to his plan. Nolan asks Ford does he understand this, Ford states he does and asks about his son
Ford states is the plan worth aleinating his one son, the pride and joy of his. Nolan pauses at this and states he's doing this for his son. Ford asks did you have ever ask Mark.
Nolan pauses once more and states it's best for both of them, and he can't let Ford do so. Ford takes his sound based weapon ready to fight Nolan and Nolan gets ready though neither of them are looking particually ready.
Ford's upperhand is revealed to have been because he has the Klaxus plant which he could use to weaken Viltrumites enough to make them vulnerable to attacks. Nolan feels exhausted as does Ford during their fight.
Ford tells Nolan that he can stop himself from this and that Nolan states he has done everything for the people he cares, his people, his son, Ford and how does he not get that.
Ford explains to Nolan that he has missed so many things stuck in the middle of nowhere for 30 years. He has been missed his nephew and niece being born, his brother for all the hardships, his assistant, his family. Ford states he felt personally reponsible for ruining Gravity Falls and letting Bill Cipher trick him. While not all of this was on him, he didn't help
Ford tells Nolan to let him hear the good things that came from what happened to him. Ford learns Humility, Understanding, When to keep his ego in check and learned to love like Nolan himself did. Ford states that he learned how to forgive those who deserve it and he admits he forgives Nolan for not being honest with him back then and that he understands his alien heritage. Ford wanted to beat Nolan and only do that for not just himself but for his son, he wanted to friends again with the one man who truly got him other than his brother and to get closure
Nolan is touched by this and tells Ford he wanted to hear that since they first remeet. Nolan states that he could reach a compromise with Ford, which Ford doesn't disagree with. Mark and Deathstroke come to Ford and tell him that the kids need help. Ford states he'll be there.
Mark and Deathstroke come to Nolan and Nolan decides to tell the two what he knows and that they may have a bigger problem on their hands.
Kim, Lincoln, Lydia, Luz, Anne and Hilda all thank Ford for saving them and what took him. Ford states Nolan was why and he managed to talk Nolan down. Kim hopes that they have beaten M.A.L.I.C.E down and can use the gems to bring back the heroes. Nolan states this isn't done that they still have The Mind Flayer to deal with and that thing is a bigger threat than any of them are.
Lydia and Lincoln agree as they know first hand considering their two encoutners with it as does Truman and is one encounter. Bruce, Larke, Sid, Truman and Hilda go tell the team about what is going on and what they saw. Nolan and Cleo both look horrifed of what CSM did in regards to people and Nolan more so about his own people being used as Slaves of the Mind Flayer. Mulder and Scully confirm this as they have been tracking this as well.
Nolan decides to screw this and go against his boss and work with Lincoln, Lydia, Ford, Anne, Luz, Kim, Truman, Larke, Bruce, Amanda, Mulder and Scully to stop it. Cleo states she still has some power in her and she might as well use it for good. Though the others feel what she did won't make up for what she did. Cleo states then she at least won't go out a monster.

Lydia, Lincoln , Truman, Mulder and Scully all arrive too with them joining Ford and Nolan in heading to the center of the where the Mind Flayer orginated. Lydia is scared that she will have to go straight in the upside down but has to put a brave face. Mulder and Scully ask Ford and Nolan if the plan is safe, as they don't want a kid being on them. Ford states he will do what he has to do.
Ford and Nolan agree and call HIlda and Jauna to get to the gate to keep Lincoln, Lydia and Truman safe as Nolan flies into battle with Ford jumping off him and prepares to fight the many Demo Dogs and Demo Bats that are coming for them.
Ford, Nolan, Mulder and Scully manage to ultimately together manage to keep the rest of the Upside Down monsters from reaching the rest of them

Epilogue[]
Nolan flees after realizing what he did in regards to his son and the realization that he was wrong about Lydil Red (Lydia) after helping repel the alien invasion he decided to put his own stop to before the Virtumites invaded.
Afterwards, He finds the new cabin that Ford and Luz have been relocated to inregards to Ed The Extractor and he knocks on the door to see Ford. Nolan wants to renew his friendship with Ford and admits he was right to an extent and that he is sincerely sorry for what ever he did to him. Ford isn't so willing to trust Nolan, but he admits it's a start at the very most. He tells Ford he has a plan to lead the Virutmites to a new and a better world on his planet and would like Ford to help him this. Ford asks about this mission and Nolan tells Ford that he has other Virtumites opposing and going after his ideals and would like the help of his old but brilliant friend with this
Luz thinks he's asking much, though Ford decides to agree to this and says if Nolan is serious. He'll tell him everything, Nolan agrees and asks when Ford is ready for this and he'll start when Ford is ready
Ford nods and tells him it's glad they can try and put their past behind and renew their friendship as Nolan holds up two chess pieces saying white or black.
Countdown to Chang's Guide To The Galaxy[]
This comes to pass as Nolan's rival Thragg is part of an alien invasion led by his former ally The Smoking Man, similar to Mulder and Scully he was blackmailed by the man when he was evil. Nolan feels he must right this wrong and helps Ford and Deathstroke with dealing with Smoking Man's alien invasion plans and Homelander. He and Ford decide on Bruce and Larke to help out as Larke isn't in trouble with the law and Bruce will find his own way.
Chapter 1[]
Ford and Omni Man arrive to Deathstroke's office. Deathstroke, Agent Bishop and Mr.X question this as Ford is supposed to be in hiding with the rest of Team Free Will.
Ford says that Nolan came to get him and that he needed his help with something so he left the cabin to help him and got some of his other bandmates to watch Luz. Deathstroke tells Ford he was supposed to and now they can be comproimsed with what was on the news.
Nolan apologizes and states that he needed Ford's help becuase of the Virtumites
Agent Bishop recalls that and asks Nolan why Ford spefically apart from being old friends. Nolan says he will have Ford protected in case Homelander or anyone targets him and that Homelander isn't acting alone, they also have an alien invasion and a struggle for Virtum's rule
Deathstroke understands this thanks to what he knows on Mark and Nolan and asks what is the struggle. Nolan says while much of his kind are willing to follow him in his new era ideals, some are not so opposed most promiently Thragg.
Nolan explains that Thragg is the most dangerous of all his kind and the most vile, he was trained to be the strongest, he cares nothing of his people apart from how he use them. Nolan admits he himself doesn't know to deal with Thragg despite his power and intellgence, he feared Mark would get killed if he did. Knowing Ford found a way to hurt him before, maybe Ford can help get Thragg
Ford says he was told of Thargg by Nolan and he needs to stop him before he can lord his power over them all. Mr. X and Bishop state that their Virtumite isn't the only problem and that they have Irkens and Dregg to deal with as well. Ford and Nolan both understand immediatly that someone is replicating the invasion a while ago.
Deathstroke gives his theory that the one behind this is the whoever lead M.A.L.I.C.E and suspects that Homelander is with him as well.
Nolan confirms he is right about this and that he knows the man, though the only thing he knows is that he is an older man who smokes. He was being blackmailed just like those agents even when he was on his side. He believes Thragg is a bigger concern and that that him, Ford, Bishop, X and Deathstroke need to stop him and the aliens he has as The Man will have more alien life at his call
Bruce, Ford, Nolan and Deathstroke all suspect Vought but Larke said Vought is a pharmatical company who just so happens to knows Supes when it comes to what is going on with monster attacks on Larke's home.
As if that wasn't enough Mr.Wolf and the Bad Guys enter as well and tell him that they found his P.I and told him what Deathstroke wanted them to know.
Nolan tells them that he can breath in space so he may not need a ship, Ford convinces him to come along anyway and that this could work out anyway.
Ford, Nolan, Bruce and Larke overhear Deathstroke and The Bad Guy's communciation with Scully, Mulder, Truman and The Xs and realize Deathstroke is right. Ford tells Bruce and Larke that no one can know what they're doing here for the Team's sake. Larke does worry that them this figure will find them somehow that Homelander is workng with, Nolan says that if.
Chapter 2[]
Bruce Wayne, Ford, Larke, Nolan, Mr.Wolf, Mr.Shark and Webs are all keeping a track on what just happened. Ford has been in contact with Luz in his exile and learns that people are out to find the Team Free Will team and are keeping them in lock down or whatever thanks to Vought as Bruce has been investigating and found Vought had a hand in this and he kept track of the news learning that Sid was almost attacked but saved.
Larke informs them that Troy kept a eye on Lincoln and Lydia and they're fine thankfully, Ford and Bruce sigh in relief that the two of them are at least safe from Vought. Nolan and The Bad Guys are questioning this a bit as Troy did mention an encounter with Homelander, Nolan is aware of Homelander and warns them about how dangerous Homelander is. Ford asks is he more dangerous than Thragg, Nolan tells Ford he is up there.
Master Chief and The Arbiter see Virtum ahead and infrom the crew that they are landing which Nolan decides to get take the lead and that he will communicate with the Virtumites. As everyone gets off their shop. Nolan takes the lead with Ford and Deathstroke right behind them and the crew apart from The Bad Guys, Bruce, Larke and Betty are all on their way to do.
Nolan and Ford request a meeting with the Virtumies as the embassors of Virtum and Humanity. Most of the other role their eyes at this, Deathstroke states it's egotistic but they will need the help of other Virtums
Nolan, Ford, Deathstroke and Agent Bishop take center stage and they manage to get a lot of Nolan's race present with Kamela's help in getting everyone attention as she is aware they will need a way to get their help.
Nolan tells his people that he is in need for their help for a important mission for their people, to lead them against Thragg who's intentions are to lead to the potential destruction of their people. Nolan warns if they don't work with the humans, that Thragg will use them as collateral damage. He was once someone who intended to conquer the planet, but decided to change course.
When questioned, Nolan admits that having a son and a wife has indeed changed him and rekindling with a old friend also helped. Ford tells Nolan that they are still working but it's helping.
Ford, Nolan, Agent Bishop and Deathstroke are found and they managed to talk at least a good deal of the Virtumites to work with them, but some are still willing to help Thragg. This is when Bruce, Larke, Betty and Crpyto arrive fighting off Irkens. Ford and Nolan realize Thragg has had eyes on the situation and Deathstroke, Ford and Nolan prepare to deal with Thragg
Ford, Nolan, Bruce, Kamela, Larke, Deathstroke, Agent Bishop, Betty and Crpto arrive with the ship with the Virutmites all at war, those following Nolan and others following Thragg. So they can prepare a new plan to resuce Mr.Snake, Mr.Pirhana and Mr.Shark. Mr.X has Maximus brought to a cell so he can inttergorate him about the info and how to ultimately get the crew back.
Thragg's plan works pefectly and he has the Almightly Tallest , his fellow Virumties and other aliens contacted by CSM and Homelander to attack them.
Everyone goes after Dregg, The Almightly Tallest and the Virtumites. Ford puts on a space helmet and gets his stuff to fight Thragg and Nolan is ready to fight the alien.
Nolan and Ford ambush Thragg and the two fight against him, despite being outnumbrered. Thragg is very much able to fend off both though Nolan is strong enough to hurt him and Ford's weaponry is capable of hurting Thragg. Thragg is very willing to use his full powers on them and manages to pulverize both of them, all the while fighing off Ford's use of the plant that Virtumites are weak to and Nolan attempts to save Ford from him. Thragg threatens to take everything away from Nolan and will start with his weak friend. Ford does at least allow the two to escape with a play of his own abeit badingly injured
Bruce, Deathstroke and Larke overlook Ford and Nolan recovering from that battle with Thragg, Deathstroke feels that it may take something more and that these other guys are at least a good start to helping them out. Larke is instant that her boss should acquire his detective to find out more about them. Deathstroke says that is what his plan is as one of his closest friends did believe in Irkens invading earth. Nolan states he'll be fine and to let him keep going despite Larke and Bruce's protests, Ford agrees with them and tells him they'll need some rest.
Chapter 3[]
Ford and Nolan are busy recovering from Thragg's attack on them and Deathstroke is watching them recover. He advises them that Thragg could have killed them right then and there. Ford states he needed to test Thragg compared to Nolan. Deathstroke does point out that he should have realizied that Thragg is more powerful than Nolan was
Ford questions Nolan on this and Nolan explains that Thragg was unique even among them Thragg is the strongest Viltrumite in the entire series, trained from birth to be the strongest of all. He's so strong he can fight several Rognarrs by himself and win without trouble. To explain, Rognarrs are one of the few creatures in the universe that can injure and kill Viltrumites. Thragg is the key reason why the Viltrumites are the way that they are, and doesn't take well to losing his position of power.
Rocket requests to get a resistance ready, Ford and Nolan implore him to wait.
Ford and Nolan are a little more able to move and they recongize that Deathstroke and the others set up two instances of going after pirates and alien life forms. Nolan and Ford are informed by Deathstroke that while he has lowered their defenses, they need to make the right moves as possible. He himself is here to keep an eye on Maximus while Ford and Nolan personally question this.
Deathstroke tells the two, he has the Crimson Paw on this on back on the Earth, digging any info on the cat if possible. Deathstroke admits then he can bargain info with Maximus if possible, Agent Bishop and Mr.X can even make sure this goes accordingly if he needs to.
Ford and Nolan both get up and they notice something and it's the Virutmies and it turns out plenty of them followed the duo. Nolan is happy to see that his people are willing to follow him as they he has a claim at the throne.
Ford asks Nolan if this was why Nolan needed him. Nolan said he wanted the throne but wanted to lead his people into an new age, and recongized Ford as worthy to help. Ford inquires Nolan about the past and who attempted to blackmail him.
Nolan takes a deep breath and tells Ford that The Smoking Man was trying to blackmail him and was purusing alien invasions hence why the Gems were used. The Smoking Man also unleashed that monster to go after Lincoln as a result of the kid knowing too much. Ford asks how was CSM able to do so. Nolan states he saw the worst in humanity in The Smoking Man in him and admits that Lydia;s identify was revealed by CSM, but he was also blackmailed by a guy with time empahsis
Ford questions Nolan on the latter, and Nolan tells Ford he never learned his name.
Deathstroke, Ford and Nolan watch as the other Virumites are pushing them into space as the gas is running out. Deathstroke gets two texts from Crimson Paw and Agent Bishop, and he observes them
Deathstroke finds out from Agent Bishop and Crimson Paw that The Conpsiracy on earth and space is being masterminded by The Cigarette Smoking Man. He informs Ford and Nolan about this
Ford and Omni Man both don't even look even suprised though it's no concidence to Omni Man that The Cigarette Smoking Man is behind this. Omni Man even goes so far to say that CSM clearly is very ambitous with this agenda and compares it to his own mission.
Omni Man and Deathstroke differ on this, with Omni Man feeling the kid is still in trouble when it comes to The Smoking Man while Deathstroke feels she is techinally safe. Ford, Deathstroke and Nolan consider getting a hold of Lydia, Lincoln, Luz, Anne, King, Eclpisa, Mark, Sylvester, Tweety, Sid, Molly Mcgee, Selina and Scratch, though Deathstroke and Ford both come to the conclusion that The Smoking Man is just waiting for them to make a stupid move by tapping the phone line
Nolan apologizes to Ford and explains that they may have to fend for themselves, despite being his team. Ford wants to keep his team safe, Nolan doesn't blame him but advices that they must leave as little a trail as possible.
Omni Man and Ford both manage to get to this ship with the help of the Virtumites loyal To Nolan. Ford sends out a message to both groups to get back here as they have another ship ready as they must safrice their old one as they have no more fuel and Thragg is here.
Deathstroke, Ford, Nolan, Mr.Wolf and The Bad Guys, Agent Bishop and Mr.X all end up discussing that they know The Smoking Man was the one behind all this, the alien invasions and most of what they dealt with last time.
Nolan agrees realizing that was something he did too and Deathstroke is regretful of this too as he reveals that he had a son that came out a way he didn't want him to. The three are basically say they're fathers trying to look out for their kids and Thragg's own shitick, power and insanity is something that they feel their kids can't deal with.
Ford really stressed because Lincoln and Lydia were once again doing their own thing without informing, he is aware of the kids and for how smart and sane they are, are they really that equipped to deal with things on their own as much as they think.

Upon hearing that Tazmarian is where they're heading next. Nolan tells him about the Tazmarians and their race in regards to what he knows on them. Ford feels like he has seen one, before and this is confirmed as Nolan shows Ford notes. Ford confirms this and states that he knows the ruler, Starfire who is married to a robot. Nolan comments on the absurdity, Ford tells Nolan not to think too much on this.

With the arrival of the crew on Tazmarian, Nolan joins Deathstroke and Ford in settling the treaty with them. Nolan admits he does have a sense of respect for the Tazamraians as he explains. To his suprise Starfire is actually with her friends dealing with Batman's passing, Nolan isn't aware of who he is but does have some idea of who his universe resembles. Nolan inquires about said friends and learns from Master Chief, Arbiter and Betty that they know her and their friends and that they are close to their knowledge, and they're all helping with the funeral service as Dib was his kid to their knowledge. Nolan doesn't see the resemblance upon looking at the photo.
Before They can infrom Starfire of what had happened to The Tazamraians, Blackfire and Thragg lead an attempt to kill or enslave them for invading with Maximus and Lord Dregg.
Ford, Nolan and Deathstroke once again all decide to fight Thragg, Thragg is amused as he beat them before and thinks it's foolish for them. Nolan and Ford both say that it don't matter they will do what it takes and they proved he wasn't invicible.

As everyone else follows suit with the others, Ford has Omni Man back at the ship treating his injuries. Nolan discusses with Ford that no matter how much they try, they can't really stop Thragg, but there must be some way. Ford tells Nolan that depserate times call for desprate measures.
Ford realizes that that he hasn't checked up on Sid unlike the others, so he decides to do just that. Nolan asks about turning to the robot, Deathstroke has as his agent to maybe give some potential help on Thragg. Ford while heistant, decides to ask Deathstroke to contact him on this.
