History AATAFOVS / OmenFromTheFutureArc

The next issue begins with a scene with Renita [[Main/HackerCave sitting at a computer in a darkened room illuminated solely by a large number of monitors]], [[Main/PalantirPloy one of which is streaming CCTV footage from the Vampbenders' base]], [[Main/{{Fanservice}} another of which is watching Roland in the shower]]. She is speaking with Naked Boss over a comminications network, [[Main/CrypticConversation assuring him in ambiguous terms]] that [[AllAccordingToPlan all is going according to plan]]. Back at the Vampbenders' base, Nerdly has succeeded in breaching his future self's electromagnetic field after rigourous effort, [[Main/ShockingSwerve only to discover that there is, in fact, no cellular material inside of his cybernetic parts whatsoever]]. At that point, [[Main/DoNotAdjustYourSet Renita hacks into every monitor in the base]] and explains that [[Main/MeanwhileInTheFuture she is broadcasting from over 20 years into the future]]. She goes on to cause Future Nerdly to fall unconscious with her leet haxxor skills and explains that he isn't actually possessed by Nucleus at all, [[Main/TomatoInTheMirror who doesn't actually exist]], and that Future Nerdly is actually just brainwashed into [[Main/SplitPersonality developing Nucleus as a secondary personality]] through a combination of [[Main/{{Nanomachines}} nanomachines]] and [[Main/DrugsAreBad copious amounts of marijuana]], which only made him believe that 17 more years had passed in his future where Nucleus had ravaged the world. Holographic technology inside of Future Nerdly's cybernetic parts created the illusion that he was being consumed by Nucleus' cellular material all of those times that the Nucleus persona asserted control. When asked why she went to all the trouble, Renita explains that the true purpose of sending Future Nerdly into the past was to act as a carrier for a new strain of nanovirus that would proceed to [[Main/HollywoodHacking hack into every piece of technology on the planet and digitize the entire world]] by the time that the conversation was over. The issue ends on this cliffhanger.

The biggest alteration to the story is that Future Nerdly is resurrected in the following issue (after Avatar has gone back to his own time) [[WeCanRebuildHim by being turned into a cyborg]] in an obvious {{Homage}} to Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan. Or that episode of [[Main/{{Dragonball}} Dragonball Z]] where Frieza is rebuilt as a cyborg. [[OlderThanTheyThink Some people have difficulty telling]]. Future Nerdly [[{{Wangst}} angsts incessantly about his loss of humanity from this point onwards]]. After the first of many angst scenes from Future Nerdly, the story cuts back to the present day, where Avatar is recounting his experiences in the future to the other Vampbenders. Just as Avatar finishes, Future Nerdly arrives from the future, apparently 17 years onward from the point in time that Avatar had just visited, during which time, Future Nerdly's future [[Main/CrapsackWorld has become even worse]].

The issue ends on this cliffhanger.

The following issue starts with Renita [[Main/EvilLaugh giggling, which them progresses into all out maniacal laughter]]. She then reminds the Vampbenders again [[Main/NothingCanStopUsNow that it's too late for them to do anything to stop her]] before signing off. The transmission ends just as Future Nerdly is reawakening, the Nucleus persona asserting control again. [[Main/IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight After pleading with Future Nerdly to see the truth]] and failing, the Vampbenders reluncantly engage him in battle, fairing much better this time for [[Main/StrongAsTheyNeedToBe no adequately explained reason]]. [[Main/CurbStompBattle Nucleus is defeated effortlessly]], yet the Vampbenders are reluctant to kill him. They are saved the trouble, however, when Future Nerdly reasserts control long enough to [[Main/HeroicSacrifice activate his self destruct mode]], [[Main/TakingYouWithMe taking his Nucleus persona to the grave]]. [[Main/MeaningfulFuneral A funeral is held for Future Nerdly]], [[Main/GraveClouds where it rains]]. [[Main/DiedHappilyEverAfter The clouds form into the shape of Future Nerdly's smiling face, showing that he is finally at peace]]. [[Main/MeanwhileInTheFuture Meanwhile, in the future]], Renita explains in an internal monologue how the claim that she intended to digitize the entire world via a nanovirus was false, [[Main/LampshadeHanging lampshading how incredulous the idea is]], boasting about how the Vampbenders have [[Main/HiddenAgendaVillain no idea what her real goal is]]. She contacts Naked Boss and informs him that [[Main/XanatosRoulette the plan]] is ahead of schedule before signing off. The arc ends with Renita's [[Main/EvilLaugh trademark laugh which starts with a giggle, then develops into hysterical cackling]].
