Party Goers 7: A Twist in Time
Party Goers 7 causes the split in the canon timeline of the main Party Goers universe, which causes time to split into three paths; the Good Timeline, the Neutral Timeline, and the Bad Timeline.
There are two versions of Party Goers 7. The original version was written at VGF and followed by the original Party Goers 8. However, following VGF's server crash, all of the first version save for the first page was lost forever.
The "new" Party Goers 7 was started at the newly-formed Gamehiker Forums. Continuing from the recovered portion of the original Party Goers 7, this OG quickly became a conclusion for the most recent Party Goers story, Party Goers 17, which was not finished prior to VGF's server crash. It was followed by Party Goers 8: Parting is Such Surprising Sorrow.

Plot Summary
Golem, Sapphire and Yoshi 64 examine the pen that Nintenfreak had given Golem in the previous OG. They discover it to be a time-travelling newsstand, which sends them back to the time of the original Party Goers story. Flutter, Princess Mint and S-Cargo also accompany them as if Party Goers 6 wasn't a dream sequence. S-Cargo quickly hatches another nefarious scheme.
As usual, Magikoopa's group and Replaforce also arrive in the past in inexplicable manner. Replaforce uses peer pressure to recruit the past versions of Golem and Luigi 64 as lackeys. He then decides to go on a killing spree and kills his first target, the Arab Dude, as retribution for Arab Dude's actions in Party Goers 4 and 5. The Party Goers realize that they must find a way to stop Replaforce's damage to time. Flutter crashes X and Luigi 64's party and attempts to break it up. It is from this point that the events of New Party Goers 7 branches off.
The rest of this story's data can be filled in by someone who actually read the original.

Plot Summary
This story starts begins following the first page of the original Party Goers 7. The rest of the Party Goers whisk the past versions of Golem and Luigi 64 away in the TASTS. But Golem cannot operate the time machine efficiently and winds up taking them far into the future - to Party Goers 17.
At the moment, everyone is busy searching the Afterlife for the missing shards of Guiseppie. Masamune, Fuzzball and Flutter discover that the Dark Guisseppie is being held by Dark Ditto. Golem had gotten the "Good" one from his grandmother in Heaven, after which he travelled down to Hell with Ditto, Vorpal and the newbie Luiigii of the Pipes to stop the army of villains being assembled by Dark Ditto. There they met the Chibi-Devil and the Party Goers from the past.
Vorpal reverts to his evil roots and cons the two Golems from Party Goers 1 and 7 into letting him use the TASTS. He uses it to bring in four Vorpals from other OGs and to unite his V-Team. However, the Golems are able to work together and retrieve the TASTS. In the meantime Sapphire, Elzie and Yoshiman find the third "Neutral" piece of Guisseppie in Purgatory.
The Party Goers pile into the TASTS in order to find a way to stop Vorpal, a trip that brings them through Party Goers 13 and Holiday Goers: The Halloween Haunter. They are mysteriously attacked by Replaforce, and whom had been summoned by the Cod Almighty. Ditto had somehow gained the third piece of Guisseppie but found he still wasn't working. They interrogated X until he revealed that there was a fourth piece hidden in the Weirdamonium, the secret fourth part of the Afterlife for the weird in general.
The Party Goers found themselves thrust in the Weirdamonium, where they also found a friendly face in the form of Oddball Mario and his pet llama, Speedy. They are about to claim the final piece when they learn that Dark Ditto's army of villains, disguising themselves as angels, had taken over Heaven in order to manipulate the laws of the Bible. The Party Goers were mostly captured. This left the Vorpals to find a way into Heaven. Leaving their cursed demon blades behind, they later fused themselves together and also fused together the four pieces of Guisseppie in order to fight off the villains.
It was at that point that Ditto realized they had never left the Weirdamonium, and that the whole invasion of Heaven had just been a ruse set up by Cod Almighty. The Party Goers were able to escape by radiating shields of "party energy" made of pure seriousness which allowed them to escape. With their mission complete, the Party Goers from Party Goers 17 saw off the past Party Goers as they returned to their own timelines, with no memory of the events. The Party Goers then discussed the matter in the Bar at the Center of the Universe, Joe's.
As for Replaforce, they were tossed into the year 12,002 in the nightmarish "Planet of the Heroes".
