The drip separated as it touched the Domitikan portal to become Trevor, Noel, Shawnacy, Estelle, Brock, Adam, Galatea, and Adam Adama.
They now all stood on the lip of the Domitikan portal.
Their next step would be into the portal and back to Earth.
Trevor got one look at the universe they were about to leave behind...
and what he saw made him blink-blink with shock...
because all he saw, really, was The Fours.
Its massive blackness had become almost the entire universe. Now, its tentacles could not only actually touch Trevor and his cohorts, if it wanted, it was almost impossible for them not to, The Four's was so close.
Very little of Domitika remained.
Creatures, people, monsters, dreamscapes, they all pressed against the portal in desperation. The universe of Domitika knew it was beyond all hope, all chance of being saved, beyond any chance of anything but total obliteration.
"Never forget to dream!" it called out in every language and with all its strength.
It ignited into red flame, a flame that became a force in its last moment of existence to shove everyone into the portal...
and beyond.
