As the trio hurriedly made their way through the streets, they suddenly heard a voice calling out to them. They turned to see a woman approaching them with a determined look on her face.
"Stop right there!" she called out. "You three have been causing a lot of trouble, but I'm here to put an end to it."
Jake raised an eyebrow in confusion. "And who are you?" he asked.
"I am Blon, the most powerful powerscaler in this universe!" she declared.
Jason snorted. "Yeah, right. We've seen some crazy stuff today, but this is just getting ridiculous."
But before Jason could finish his sentence, Blon suddenly exploded into a burst of energy, leaving nothing but a small crater where she had been standing.
Jake stared at the spot in shock. "What just happened?" he asked, bewildered.
Ram shook his head. "It's the narrative of Jake Vietnam," he explained. "He's the one who holds this verse together, so nothing can permanently beat him."
The trio continued on their way, their minds reeling from the strange events of the day. They soon reached the edge of the city and began to make their escape, hoping to get as far away as possible from the chaos they had unwittingly unleashed.
"This is the only place we can go." Jason spoke, turning to Ram, and Ram knew what to do.
Ram waved his omnihedron-powered pan and opened a portal to a new narrative. The trio stepped through, but as soon as they arrived, they realized that something was off. The world was desolate and barren, with no signs of life.
"What the hell is going on?" Jason exclaimed.
Ram looked around, confused. "I don't understand," he said. "This shouldn't be happening."
Jake felt a pit in his stomach. "Guys, I think I know what's going on," he said slowly. "I think this is a narrative where I don't exist."
Jason and Ram looked at him incredulously. "What do you mean?" Jason asked.
"I mean that in this world, I'm not the thing that holds the narrative together," Jake explained. "And since we're here, we're subject to the rules of this world."
The three stood there in silence, taking in the barren landscape around them. Suddenly, they heard a low growling sound, and they turned to see a pack of wild dogs headed straight for them.
"Shit, we need to get out of here," Ram said, frantically searching for a way out.
As the dogs closed in, Jake suddenly had an idea. "Wait, I think I know how to get out of here," he said. "We need to find the thing that holds this narrative together and destroy it."
Jason and Ram looked at him skeptically, but they had no better ideas. Together, they set off into the desolate world, searching for any sign of what held the narrative together.
As they wandered the barren world, they suddenly heard a deep rumble. It grew louder and louder until they saw a figure emerge from the horizon. It was Jake Vietnam, but something was different about him. He was clad in black armor, and his eyes glowed with a sinister red light.
"I am the Dark Jake Vietnam," he boomed. "And I have come to claim this world as my own."
The trio tried to reason with him, but he was not interested in anything they had to say. He summoned a legion of shadowy creatures, and the group found themselves in the midst of a fierce battle.
Jason summoned his powerscaling abilities and conjured up a massive wall of energy, while Ram opened portals to different dimensions to confuse the enemies. But the Dark Jake Vietnam proved to be a formidable opponent, and his dark magic was too much for them to handle.
Just as things were looking grim, the real Jake Vietnam suddenly appeared. His eyes shone with a bright white light, and his power was overwhelming. He engaged the Dark Jake Vietnam in a battle of epic proportions, their attacks shaking the very fabric of the cosmology.
The battle raged on, the two Jakes hurling spells and attacks at each other with devastating force. The landscape around them twisted and warped, mathematical concepts being erased from existence as they clashed.
"Holy crap, they are transcending outerversal and high outerversal." Ram said,
"What is that?" Jason replied, shielding himself from the fire.
"Outerversal means transcending dimensionality and all concepts, and high outerverse level means infinitely transcending outerversal." Ram replied, as he dodged Dark Jake's beams, before Good Jake charged at Dark Jake with the force of absolute omnipotence
They fought with cosmological structures like relics and multiverses casually, using them as weapons and shields. The clash of their powers shook the very fabric of the cosmology, and reality itself seemed to be on the brink of collapse.
For what felt like an eternity, they exchanged blows, neither one gaining the upper hand. They were evenly matched, with the same abilities and powers, and it seemed like they would never be able to defeat each other.
But then, something changed. Jake felt a surge of power, as if something within him had awakened. He tapped into the power of the narrative of Jake Vietnam, the force that had always protected him, and he began to gain the upper hand.
The dark Jake tried to fight back, but it was too late. Jake's attacks overwhelmed him, and he was struck down. As the dark Jake lay dying, he spoke his last words.
"Be the Jake Vietnam I could never be," he said, his voice barely a whisper.
Good Jake's eyes filled with tears as he realized what the dark Jake had meant. He had been consumed by his own darkness, unable to overcome his inner demons, but Good Jake had prevailed.
With a heavy heart, they left the narrative and went back to the female narrative to stop the war.
But in this adventure they realised a core truth. Jake Vietnam was not a person, not a concept, he was beyond it all. He was a metafictional existence which transcended it all. Everything depends on him, including the real world and the Hidden Wizard verse.
