Byte Space was losing power. The very dimension was prone to quaking as the circuits strained to support BIT Squad's operations. An emergency meeting of the entire squad was called to order, with roughly 128 different members gathered. And we only know ten of them. Seems a shame to end the series knowing that... "What's the matter, 2BIT? Didn't pay your electric bill?" 8BIT shouted over the noise of a hundred BITs talking among themselves. "SILENCE!! Ugh, how can I get a word in edgewise with so many of myself? Maybe this whole operation was a bad idea..." 2BIT murmured. The BITs kept talking, so Stripes got up with a megaphone. "SHUT UP, YOU IDIOTS!!" he yelled. "...and my banana is much more plaid than your banana!" Gator babbled as everyone else silenced, "...….What?" he asked as though whatever he was saying was totally normal. The whole dimension suddenly rumbled to remind everyone why they were there. "Is Byte Space hungry?" Cupie asked. "It's obviously dying." Dusk grumbled. "I also get a random line." Zed added. "No, you don't!" Vixy groaned, "Now let's listen to 2BIT already!" she said, annoyed that we're wasting so much time getting nowhere. 2BIT cleared his throat. "Thank you, Vixy. I have no idea what's happening, though. Byte Space is a freaking Dimension. And Crisis on Infinite Earths is a thing happening on the CW, it doesn't affect us." he stated. "Way to date this story, 2BIT!" Dogson shouted. "We did a chapter on the Sochi Winter Olympics, I think that shark's been jumped!" 2BIT shouted back, "So, anyway, if no one here has any better ideas about what's happening...." he added, voice trailing off. 69BIT raised his hand, but Zed smacked it down. "No one wants to hear what's going on in YOUR head..." he grumbled. 2BIT nodded. "Then there's only one solution left to me... I have to go... BEYOND the fourth wall!!" he declared. "Ooooooo…. He said the name of the stooooory!" Gator gasped.
So, 2BIT was now on his way to the transport room, followed by Vixy and 8BIT. "What do you mean you're going 'beyond the fourth wall?!' That makes no sense!" Vixy said as they walked. "Can I come? I'd love to see what I can mess around with in a world we can't normally reach..." 8BIT smirked. "Beep, speaking of which..." said, Blocky, rushing to catch up to them, "Blip, boop; It's currently hard enough to get a normal portal to other worlds running. How do we expect to get one to the fourth dimension running? Beep?" he asked. 2BIT shrugged. "Okay, in order, I'm literally going beyond the fourth wall to speak with MY creator; No, 8BIT, I don't think you should come, and, uhhh... we'll figure this out if we put our heads together, Blocky." he answered. They passed by the figurine room, Stripes' office, the bedrooms, the bowling alley and the skating rink on the way to the transport room. "...We're going in circles. And why does Stripes get an office and nobody else?" Vixy asked, the one question we're asking about any of those rooms for some reason. "Never mind, we're here." 2BIT said. "Nobody's going to question the idea that 2BIT's going to talk to his own creator? Basically our god?" 8BIT muttered. Vixy shrugged. "After everything we've been through in the past couple years, what else could he even be doing?" she sighed. Alright, now that we've established that, could all of you but Blocky and 2BIT please wait outside? "Aaaand now the narrator's bossing us around..." 8BIT grunted as he and Vixy walked out of the room. Once they were out of the room, 2BIT poked Blocky in the nose. "Sorry, buddy, but you ARE the portal." he said as Blocky buzzed and beeped, his body glowing before he transformed into one of the cartridges used in the portal generator that looked suspiciously like a game console. The label on this particular cartridge was blank. "There won't be anyone to bring me back, so I hope this works out..." 2BIT murmured, placing the cartridge into the machine.
Gator suddenly burst into the room. "Hold it!" he shouted. The portal had already appeared, and 2BIT was peering into it. "I can't hold it! Who knows how long the portal will stay open! If Byte Space stops working, we're doomed! I need to go over our heads and ask someone who can fix this to fix it!" he said. Gator shook his head. "I'm the dumb guy and even I know that nothing about this plot makes sense!" he shouted. "Well, maybe my creator can explain it. We don't have time to think of a better idea!" 2BIT said. Gator tapped his foot. "Well, we have a little time. Help me think of one last joke for the people watching us from beyond the eigth wall!" he said. "...You mean fourth wall." 2BIT replied, turning around. "Or do I...?" Gator said ominously. There was an awkward silence for a bit. "Okay, I've got one. Knock knock!" 2BIT said. Gator glared at him, backed out of the door, and closed it. 2BIT then nervously rubbed his forehead. Yeah, this lack of ideas for humor is a big part of why this series is ending. So, with nothing left to delay him, 2BIT turned and leapt into the portal...and went beyond the fourth wall!
To be continued...
...well, after all this series has been made up of short chapters anyway. And what better chapter number to end on than 22? Don't answer that rhetorical question.
