In the blue domain beyond time, Lucas stood before seven speedsters clad in black armor, their eyes blazing with blue fire.
Each one was forged from stolen speed fragments. Each one a clone of fury.
— My children — he said. — Time will try to stop me. But now, we are legion.
They ran in circles around him.
— We bring the end.
— We will take the Force.
— We kill time.
Lucas raised his hands.
— The world trembles. The timelines bleed. And I?
A World Without Speedsters
Headlines spread across every Earth:
> "Speedsters Vanish in Mass Numbers"
"Speed Force Unstable"
"Central City Isolated in Temporal Bubble"
Barry stood before a map of the multiverse. Red lights blinked where speedsters once existed. Now… only voids.
— He's draining time — Cisco said. — Literally. It's not just about speed anymore. He's erasing the presence of speedsters from existence.
— He wants to be the only one — Barry muttered.
Joe West walked in, carrying coffee.
— Son… tell me you still have a plan.
Barry answered without looking.
— I did. But now… I might need something worse.
Joe stepped closer.
— What are you saying?
— I'm saying… maybe I need to become more like him.
Silence.
— Barry… that's not you.
— Maybe that's why he's winning.

The Fall of Earth-2
Earth-2.
A blood-blue sky.
Lucas and his clones raced through entire cities, consuming the temporal energy of buildings, satellites, even people.
Harry Wells tried to build a machine to disrupt the Speed Force flow, but Lucas appeared.
— You're the smartest one here — Lucas said. — And still… you never understood.
— You're destroying order — Harry replied. — If you continue, nothing will be left. Not even you.
Lucas stepped closer.
— That's the point. Rebirth from the ashes. Like a god.
Harry pulled out a detonator.
— I'd rather die than let this happen.
Lucas smiled.
— Permission was never required.
He zipped through Harry in the blink of an eye, detonating the machine with a pulse of energy.
Earth-2… partially collapsed.
And a blue rift consumed the sky.
