Aradia, Tavros, Sollux, Karkat, Nepeta, Kanaya, Terezi, Vriska, Equius, Gamzee, Eridan, and Feferi are trolls from Alternia. They play a game like the one the kids played. They paradox-clone themselves and their ancestors, defeat the Black King, and perform the Ultimate Alchemy. But before they can claim the ultimate reward, an invincible demon appears and destroys the doorway into the universe they have created. The trolls flee to a laboratory in the Veil while the demon goes around blowing up their planets.

While hiding in the Veil, the trolls make contact with the human kids, who lived in the universe the trolls created. The trolls can see the kids’ whole lives up to a point. When they figure out who the demon is—Jack Noir, powered up by Jade’s entry choices—the trolls blame the kids for their current crisis. They believe the kids will cause a “scratch” that sends Noir to the troll session. But Noir will murder the rest of the kids’ parents before he is banished.

The scratch is a way for players to erase a failing game session and start over, letting their cloned parents play instead. The trolls unknowingly played after a scratch done by their own ancestors. In the bargain they got the First Guardian Doc Scratch, servant of Lord English.

The kids progress mostly on the game’s terms, except for Rose, who addresses the session’s preordained failure instead. Doc Scratch talks Rose into scratching the session and bombing the source of the First Guardians’ power, the Green Sun, to weaken Jack Noir.

All the kids get involved in the puppet’s ruse. Carrying a Tumor dug out of Skaia’s Battlefield, Rose and Dave fly out into the space beyond game sessions, the Furthest Ring. The Tumor uses the destruction of two universes to create the Green Sun. Jade makes the Genesis Frog that could become a new universe once they find a more fertile Skaia. John initiates the scratch. Jade and John escape through a portal to the new session. The scratch erases the old session. By this time, the kids have all died twice and risen up to the god tiers.

Jack Noir escapes the scratch by exiling himself first to Earth and then to the troll session. His rampage ends with the murder of the troll-made Genesis Frog which contains the kids’ universe. Along the way, Noir kills some of the other exiles. Their leader, the Prospitian Monarch, swears revenge. She finds the twin of Noir’s ring, puts it on, matches him in power, and follows him to the troll session.

The Condesce, her empire of trolls wiped out, kills Lord English’s Handmaid and takes her job. She goes to serve English in another universe. Doc Scratch makes the troll session’s archagent Spades Slick pocket the eight ball of The Felt, ending the troll universe and Scratch’s life. English is summoned into their remains.

Tempers flare in the Veil where the trolls are holed up. Some of them kill each other, one explodes, and one kills himself propelling the laboratory meteor out toward the Green Sun. Karkat, Kanaya, Terezi, and Gamzee are the only survivors on the meteor, although Aradia is alive in the bubbles of the Furthest Ring where dead players and dreamselves dream.

Cinematic 56:

CASCADE.

John completes the scratch on the Beat Mesa, fending off a final onslaught of minions.

Bec Noir, having slain the Droll and taken Dad’s wallet, carries Jade to her Quest Bed and lays her on the slab. Then, to escape the Scratch, he flies into the lotus time capsule in the Mystic Meteor just in time for the reckoning to send the meteor through a Skaian defense portal. On the other side, it smashes into the paleozoic Earth, spawning the Mystic Ruins.

Inside the ruins, the lotus releases the Writ Keeper for a short reunion with the Windswept Questant. The flower then rots and disgorges Noir, who murders them both.

Under a sky wracked by the same Red Miles that Noir would later send into the universe by attacking the Speaker of the Vast Croak who contains Earth, the Aimless Renegade blows up the command stations but hesitates to detonate the one in which the Wayward Vagabond is trapped.

Noir beheads the Renegade, dodges the Prospitian Monarch’s attack, enters the cork station, and impales the Vagabond, pulling the uranium fuel from his gut. He then powers up the station and, using a device the Questant had set to target the time and place where the trolls would claim their Ultimate Reward, transportalizes out of the universe that would be doomed by his own hand, covered now with the Vagabond’s blood.

Discovering the Vagabond mortally wounded, the Monarch drags him out of the station, finds his ring, puts it on, and becomes a Powerful Mutt. She pursues Noir to the troll Incipisphere, carrying the mortally wounded mayor and the firefly with her.

Rose and Dave, having slain the Douche Dag, pilot the moon of Derse through the Furthest Ring to destroy the Green Sun, but at their destination they find nothing at all. Diving into the core of their moon, they open The Tumor in their Quest Crypt and wait for two universes to die.

On Alternia’s green moon, Spades Slick shoots Snowman through the heart, destroying the universe of Alternia. His circumstantially simultaneous counterpart, Bec Noir, tears Bilious Slick apart, destroying the universe of Earth.

Doc Scratch plays Gamzee for a sucker.

Triggered by the destruction of both universes, The Tumor detonates, creating the Green Sun and killing Rose and Dave on their sacrificial slabs.

When the Green Sun’s light reaches the trolls, illuminating a path through the Furthest Ring, Sollux sacrifices himself to propel the meteor along that path.

Rose and Dave rise out of the Green Sun and up to godhood as the Seer of Light and the Knight of Time. There they meet Aradia and half-ghost Sollux.

John hurls the scratched Beat Mesa up into Skaia.

On Lofaf, hummingbirds flock to Jade's body and the posts of her Quest Bed light up. On the Battlefield, Jadesprite rises up to godhood as the Witch of Space. Flexing her new powers, she halts the Reckoning, commandeers a Prospitian battleship, and gathers up the Battlefield and the four planets. On deck with John, Jade pulls out and enlarges the Fourth Wall from Grandpa’s lab and flies the ship crashing through the bottom-left pane. Through the window a rapid time-lapse of earlier Homestuck images plays in reverse, rewinding through the introductions of herself, Rose, and John, culminating in the first page of Homestuck, and fading out.
