The Billion Year War

In an aborted timeline where Acachalla plunged humanity into a war with aliens that ultimately led to the collapse of civilization, the PIE team had grown to become a major force in the human resistance known as the PIE Army. However, towards the end of the war, their main leaders split; Johnny Ghost joined Sally's Armada in retaliation against Acachalla joining forces with PIE, and Toast became a near-recluse working on his time machine to go back and prevent the war from ever starting. Their lack of coordination, combined with suddenly having to fight against Sally's vastly superior forces after Ghost killed three of their members (one by accident, two in self-defense) and their unwillingness to negotiate led to the ultimate destruction of PIE. The last surviving members fled to base in the desert where their last eight PIE members - Jenny Ghost, Jenny Toast, Josh, Papa Acachalla, and four unnamed members - were hidden. Three were shot by a sniper, Jenny Ghost and Jenny Toast were both crushed by Godzilla, and Josh and the other member were both killed in the atomic blast used to destroy Godzilla. The only PIE survivor of the blast was Papa Acachalla, who survived by jumping into a fridge, was captured by the armada and taken to Sally, now the Empress Queen of Earth. She offered to spare his life in exchange for his fealty, but Acachalla's Pride would not let him accept Sally's victory and he refused, and was summarily shot by an overzealous guard during an escape attempt. The guard himself was executed for incompetence, but the last surviving PIE member was now dead.

Or so was thought. It transpired, however, that Johnny Toast and two other PIE members had successfully completed the time machine and activated it just as they were surrounded by tripods. The fate of the other two embers is unknown, but Toast successfully traveled to the inception of the war and, after several failed attempts, prevented the trigger event that sparked the war from occurring by assassinating Papa Acachalla.
