The book and the new heroes

Once they reach deeper into the darker area of this ghost town, Nate and Kat end up seeing a light flash before them.

Kat: It started ....the magic of the underneath kingdom is building the new place here fast. Quick Nate we need to find the book before the new buildings appea-

As she was about to speak, she sees someone and all the buildings finished being constructed. The buildings seem like amalgamations all bunched up together to appear as multiple things at once and the person walking through said city is holding the flying book they were chasing. They look at the person with a hoodie on as they go deeper into this part of the kingdom.

Nate: Who was that?

Kat; I don't know but I have the feeling he is the person from a realm that gets a representation of this section of the kingdom.

She says looking around and everything is mushed together but also looks pretty in some weird way.

Grace: Admiring the new texture?

Kat floats around, scared, and hides behind Nate.

Kat: DON'T DO THAT!

Nate: It's kind of creepy here...everything's mushed together and that person...I can't tell if there's a bad omen or a good one.

Grace: Ah well, they're wanders!

Kat: What? How? If I've never seen them here, how are they wanders?

Grace: Ah well, you see they don't have a main place to live since they travel to other worlds on a daily basis but that is why this place is all mushed together with nice details right?

Nate frowns.

Nate: I guess...but why is it here?

Grace: You are not as smart as they say, Nate. No wonder why your mother is a horrible intellectual god. The reason why is since they are here now!

She means that since this new person from their home is now here this section of the kingdom is made for them.

Nate: Maybe I just like asking questions despite knowing the answers

Grace looks at Nate from his thought of him saying "says the person who died"

Grace: How rude of you Nate. I see your father has yet to teach you some manners!

Nate: You don't have manners either Grace because that comment about my mother was pretty rude as well. If you have something to say about my mother and it's not a nice thing then keep it to yourself.

Grace: No, I won't because you need to know how awful a person she was. She hurt your father for her sake and you're here thinking she gets the right?

Grace says with sadness and disappears.

Nate: Yet you have no problem when dad hurts people or when you hurt me for no reason at all other than to be a cruel person...you don't need to tell the child how bad their parent is unless you're trying to be cruel to the child.

He says that knowing she's gone but he's also sure she heard him anyways.

Kat; Your father? Isn't he that hero? Crisp, I think? I don't know or maybe Sam or Redacted or Ice? Who's your father?

She says confused due to how long she's been dead and hasn't left the ghost town areas.

Nate looks at her before looking away.

Nate: Does it matter who he is? He's the one everyone adores and can't help but talk about...

Kat: No one focuses on talking to one person here unless it's about the leader. Is he the leader? Of the wanders or the underneath kingdom?

Nate: He's my father. What more do you need to know other than he's adored by all...maybe a little too much sometimes but I love him all the same even when we disagree on something.

Kat: Adored by all? Then isn't that a good thing? I mean there's a lot of bad rulers who've done bad things, forced to live in those bad things then feel like it's normal due to how many years they've lived with it. Maybe seeing this new leader who actually is a good person made them adore him due to suffering we've all been having. I mean I need a good leader too, yet I'm already dead!

She says laughing but holding back tears.

Nate hesitates, not sure what to say before finally sighing.

Nate: Yeah...it's great that he's a great leader but at the same time...sometimes it doesn't feel like we're a family when no matter where we go everyone wants to talk to him or be around him...sometimes a child just wants to have their father to themselves but I know it'd just be me being selfish and I'm stuck in a paradox where I want him to just be my dad for one day but also not being able to say it...I'm sorry. Do you want to talk about what happened to you?

Kat: N-No it's ok but thank you.

He nods.

Nate: Well if you ever need to talk to someone, I'll lend you an ear, and if you want you can borrow my dad...everyone else does.

He says it with a sigh but there's a light smile on his face.

She smiles knowing how much he loves his dad and has flashes of memories showing her father killing her in each reality and he was a respected man who was a leader yet killed his own daughter for the reason being "you look like your mother."

She starts to cry while smiling and Nate has the flashes as well due to his visions.

Nate feels tears falling down his face and without even thinking he hugs her tightly.

Nate: It's going to be alright...you're safe now.

She smiles sadly but hugs him as much as a ghost can.

Nate: He can't hurt you anymore...I wish I could help you leave this place or protect you but I'm not my dad and I'm not sure how to rescue you from here.

Kat: I-it's so lonely...being forced to be in the ghost towns...always I can't even be around anyone since I'm forced to stay in areas that are alone....

Nate: But you're with me now? So there has to be a way to at least not be alone or you wouldn't be around me now, right?

Kat: Yes but..it's only because I have to be around someone with dark magic..to be in areas like these filled with light..

Nate: Hmmm ... .so in order to be around the light you need dark...does it have to be a person or can it be anything that has dark magic in it?

Kat: A person with dark magic...

Unknown voice: That's really interesting how things work around here, by the way, I read your little book that has some interesting secrets...

Kat looks around and doesn't see anyone.

Nate tense and looking around, now on high alert.

Unknown: It's interesting to know this land is of peace and tranquility and made by someone named Sam's ex-crush's wish. This whole place is based on a wish and someone named Darkness dates Sam's crush, how touchy.

Nate: And you don't like touchy?

He asks while looking around trying to locate the voice's whereabouts.

Another voice is heard and in front of them a rift between space and time appears and a man with a hoodie as well and the other hooded figure stands next to him and says to the man who came from the rift "It's been a long time"

Nate eyes the two confused.

Nate thinks: Is this a vision or real life?

The man from the rift smirks while having his face hidden by the hood and shows off his kunai on a chain and the other person with their sword out.

Unknown: My name is Alexander.

The guy with the Kunais says and takes his hoodie off then points to the other person.

Unknown: And my name is Spiffy.

He shows himself and the person has blue hair, knight armor, and as well as blue eyes.

Nate moves a bit so he's in front of Kat.

Nate: And what do you two want? Why are you here?

Spiffy: Honestly we were trying to go to another place but we got transported here and we can't travel...

Alexander: It's like our magic or something is preventing us from traveling...

Nate: Where were you trying to go?

Alexander: Honestly back to headquarters even though I hate working for those people since I was forced to work there.

Kat then points to Spiffy.

Kat: Ok and what about him? He got here before you but you two know each other??

Alexander: He's an old friend of mine and the reason why he was trying to head home but somehow when wanting to travel together me and him ended up being separated in the rift jump and got here at two different moments but now we're here.

Nate: If you don't want to go back, what's stopping you from not going back?

Alexander: Like I said, my job is the only way to make money.

He shrugged.

Nate: What if you could get another job?

Alexander: Besides being a villain who travels across worlds and universes to find someone?

Nate: Find someone?

He has a bad feeling about this.

Spiffy: You're scaring people again.

Alexander: My bad...

Spiffy: His job is to find people and kindly end their life if they are bad people. He's seen as villains as well as the others due to that reason and plus sometimes he doesn't know fully if there evil or not just the higher ups give him a target and he just does the job.

Nate: That...doesn't make it sound any less foreboding especially since I noticed you conveniently skipped over who the target is...

He's staring at them in such a way that says he doesn't trust them very much.

Spiffy: No, no he ends them quickly so it doesn't hurt and gives them candy something to distract them before doing the job!

He says with an innocent smile on his face and Alexander laughs a little.

Nate: That's even worse! It sounds like you're killing children! What adult would get tricked by candy from a stranger...actually don't answer that. I don't want to know.

Spiffy: I mean sometimes it's a book or comic, something they are interested in. It's on the person's file it says their interests!

Nate: Alright...and who are you two after this time?

spiffy: What do you mean by two there's more than two people around? Since Alexander has others in him it's confusing sometimes since they all have the same voice...

Alexander: I HAVE WHAT IN ME??

Spiffy: Nothing

Nate thinks for a second before speaking.

Nate: In short, multiple people, one body all sounding the same but with their own likes, dislikes, and personalities? That still doesn't answer who ALL of you are after this time...

Alexander: I'm so confused what?

Spiffy: Don't worry. You don't know and its nothing

He points out understanding the situation about multiple people in one body. During this conversation, Kat just floats around them being an annoying ghost.

Spiffy: Is she dead?

Alexander: Looks like it.

He says looking at Kat floating around.

Nate: Yes, she's dead. Are you surprised?

Spiffy: Doesn't an afterlife exist? Shouldn't she be there?

Nate: Not everyone makes it to the afterlife...

Alexander: Ain't that the truth...

Nate: So getting back to the issue...you people are stuck here in this place or are you only pretending to be stuck because your target is around here?

Spiffy: No, like we are actually stuck watching this.

Alexander tries to use his power to travel but instead, he ends up burning himself and Kat heals him.

Nate: A-Alright...so the next questions are, can you leave this place normally or are you stuck in this...under underneath kingdom?

He doesn't know if this is a realm or a part of the underneath kingdom itself but he knows it should be underneath the underneath kingdom.

Spiffy: Well somehow this place was registered as a realm when we arrived here.

Spiffy then feels tired, he then sees a bench and takes a nap while Alexander stands next to him.

Nate: Alright, so are you trapped in this realm or can you go to other realms using normal means?

Alexander: I can go to other realms, it's something I commonly do.

Nate: So you have another way to get to other realms besides the one you just tried to do?

Alexander: No, unless my.. 'Mother' comes to pick me up.. Or try to at least.

Nate: Ok...I guess we could see if Grace knows anything. Maybe she can help or at least she can tell us if you can enter the underneath kingdom.

He looks over to Spiffy, whos still sleeping on the bench

Alexander: Fine, but after he wakes up.

Nate nods in agreement.

Nate: Then we wait for him to wake up.

Alexander: Mhn.

Spiffy wakes up by the flying book that escaped his pocket and flies around them.

Spiffy: Huh what??

They look at him and see he's awoken but then the ground around them starts to shake.

Spiffy: W-What's going on!!?

Kat: N-No clue, I haven't seen anything like this happen! I just stay in the dark areas!

Nate: I don't know either but something is happening! Be ready in case it's a fight.

Kat: N-Nothing happening just shaking??! Also, how did you pull out a giant book from your pocket?

Spiffy: You're telling me you don't have an inventory in your pocket?

Kat: A what?

Alexander: Basically a pocket dimension

Nate: No but that'd be amazing! Where does one get one of those?

Alexander: You just have it automatically, do you not?

Nate: I don't think anyone I know...besides you two now, have it?

Spiffy: Or an interdimensional bag? To have on your person with unlimited space?

The buildings and this area that is built suddenly all goes flying up to the higher areas of the underneath kingdom, connecting this section with the others. When going up Kat can't and sees Nate leaving, she just smiles and mouths "thank you" and she's back to the deep dark areas of the kingdom.

Nate: Kat!

Nate thinks: I'll figure out a way to get her out of there...maybe dad might know something.

Spiffy: Who was that? And why didn't they come with us!?

He then looks at Alexander to help him understand.

Alexander looks at him.

Alexander: I'm honestly just as confused as you are.

Nate: Honestly not fully sure but I'm sure dad will know something.

He heads off to try to locate his father.

Nate: Welcome to the underneath kingdom.

Spiffy: What?

Sam comes walking up with Grace.

Sam: This is a realm between realms and realties. Some of us are called Wanders. We travel to other realms if we have permission to go to.

Grace: As in to not get copyrighted!

Spiffy: What's that?

Grace: Just a 4th wall thing.

Alexander doesn't seem to appreciate the 4th wall breaking joke.

Nate: Don't worry...she does that sometimes. Don't understand her when she does but I get it's something we shouldn't know about.

Grace: Just never mind. Uh, you two are Spiffy and Alexander?

Sam: You know them, Grace?

Grace: Sam, you act like I don't see the files of every single person across the realms and realities to know who they are and if they come down here. How do you both feel about the magic preventing you from traveling?

Alexander looks like he wants to attack her but chooses not to.

Alexander: So are you the one at fault? I don't think it's very funny if you are.

Grace: No. It isn't my fault. It's based on the magic of this place. You'll have to ask the embodiment of magic to help you out. She is the one powering all magic in all realms, oh there she is now!

Stacy is seen looking at Nate's shop and thinks "Hm very colorful?"

Spiffy: Uh excuse me miss!

He says going to Stacy. She's standing tall at 6 '9 in height.

Alexander stares in shock.

Alexander: Woah...

Stacy: You ok there mister?

Spiffy: His name is Alexander and I'm Spiffy!

Stacy: Oh, the two Wanders. Yeah, I know about you two since you have magic in your bloodstream or soul though you, Alexander, it's quite interesting due to how many streams of blood there are in you.

She says smirking and changes her height to match theirs.

Alexander doesn't respond to that.

Stacy: Anyways, is there any way I can help you boys? Also Nate, why is your shop closed on Monday?

Nate: You have a problem with me closing my own shop? I need to talk to Dad.

Alexander smirks.

Alexander: Well to answer your question, you can help us leave.

Stacy: You wish to leave this place? Haha jokes on you, you can't!

Sam laughs.

Sam: She's lying, uh so rules are you can't teleport out of here, you need to use these!

A tube comes flying down from floating in the sky of the underneath kingdom.

Sam: These have names for each reality you wish to go just touch it and it takes you where you gotta go that easy!

Spiffy: Wait, so we didn't have to do any fighting?

Sam: Nope but the question is why the hurry to leave?

Alexander: Why do you care so much? Clearly, we didn't mean to come here in the first place.

Sam: geez you must be fun at parties huh?

Alexander: I'm too busy to do those types of things.

Sam: This guy is boring me. Ok, home you go!

The tubes go beneath Alexander but they don't get taken home instead it electrocutes him and Sam is shocked.

Sam: ARE YOU OK??!

Alexander: ...

Alexander system reboots for a moment

Alexander: Yes, I'm fine, I don't feel pain after all

Spiffy was scared for Alexander but glad he's ok.

Spiffy: Why did that happen? Are you all bad people!?

Stacy: Calm down. The tubes only do that if they register you as a bad person.

Spiffy: But Alexander isn't bad? I think. One of the others are?

Alexander: What are you talking about?

Stacy: Nothing. He doesn't know, does he Spiffy?

Spiffy shakes his head but pats Alexander's back to reassure him.

Sam: Well now what? He wants to leave so bad.

Stacy: We can split his counterparts if you want!

Alexander just stands there in confusion.

Nate: Maybe we could do another way? Or could we use teleportation?

Alexander: Look, I don't know what your plotting but I don't like it

Alexander crosses his arms in annoyance

Nate: Nothing evil. But if this place is preventing you from leaving normally and you can't use the tubes then the answer is obvious...we just need to figure out how to get you out of the underneath kingdom so you can use your normal means once more.

Stacy: Well true but you'll have to wait a year for that technology to be made here since that's when Bella merged the other realities into one in all of our minds and also Vanessa kills basically everyone of a kingdom.

Sam: Wait what?

Stacy: Oh nothing...

Sam: By other realities you mean the alternative timelines or universes right all those memories put into our minds?!

Stacy: No, no I never said that, what? Anyways I have a dinner date with a friend. His name is Alex, he's a cool guy. Actually, wait, why don't you two go talk to Alex? He can transport you guys home easily!

Sam: Last time he tried to transport a dog and that exploded....

Stacy: I never said that there's a chance of not surviving of course or you could just wait for Nate's dad who has a watch to travel but he then won't be able to travel on his own without the tubes...

Alexander: A dog WHAT!?

Stacy: Don't worry haha he did it at the labs where it's safe...not for the dog that is...

Alexander cringes.

Spiffy: A lot of lore being told right now, I have a theory!

Stacy: Does he talk like that normally?

Says looking at Alexander.

Alexander: Eh.... somewhat

Spiffy: Why is it bad to make theories huh?

Stacy: I never said that anyways uh I see you two are badly in a rush to leave but I'm sorry to say this but you might have to wait a year...

Spiffy: What would we do during that time!!?

Stacy: Live here?

Alexander tries to use his power to make a portal but ultimately fails

Alexander: Whatever.

Stacy: I mean at least you can get to know the others. Today is a Monday but it's January 6!

Alexander: I have a child I need to take care of

Stacy: Oh hm.

The tube then shoots out said child to Alexander.

Stacy: Done.

Spiffy: IT JUST SHOT HIM OUT?!

Sam: Yeah...they uh have a mind of their own sometimes....

Alexander catches him.

Alexander: I DIDN'T SAY I WANTED HIM HERE

The child holds onto him.

Stacy: I know you didn't...but the tubes sometimes just grab people from other realms or realities and bring them here.

Sam: Wait but the tubes are connected to your magic?

As he was about to finish his sentence she's long gone and the tube sent the child back home as the father wanted.

Alexander sighs in relief, disbelief, and annoyance.

Spiffy: Well, I guess we're stuck here.

Nate: Yeah...hey Sam, is dad around?

Alexander walks away, or tries to at least but he's not familiar with here he is

Spiffy: I wish we had a guide or something.

Sam was going to tell Nate but just taps the ground and the tube takes him back up to the realms he's at with crisp.

Grace: if you want a guide Nate knows about this place. You should probably take them to Redacted's cafe and bar, Nate I have some business to attend to, and Nate about your dad you should watch the realm news...

She says as she leaves.

Alexander looks annoyed then looks at Spiffy.

Alexander: So what now?

Spiffy: Well we explore, let's ask Nate to check out some areas to see how the flow of this place is but we can't trust them yet since I don't know how things work here...

Alexander: I don't think I'll ever trust them

Spiffy: You never trust anyone.

Alexander thinks for a moment.

Alexander: At least I have a valid reason not to trust these people

Spiffy: Yet you trust me! Also, Nate was saying some valid things, Alexander you don't like that job so why not find a better workplace?

Alexander shrugs

Alexander: At Least I somewhat personally know them. I'd put more trust in a villain's organization I've been working for a few years, than some rando mystery place that trapped me here.

Spiffy: Technically it's not their fault the system finds you evil and what do you think about being split?

Alexander: Why would I want to be split in half? I need my body intact you know

He doesn't seem to get it.

Nate eyes them a bit since they've seemingly forgotten his existence but he also doesn't want to eavesdrop so he's out of hearing range.

Nate: I can show you guys around if you wish?

He says looking at them.

Alexander: Yeah sure whatever...

He looks disinterested but willing to accept

Spiffy then has a text box over him that says "Spiffy nods in agreement."

Nate nods and shows them around.

Spiffy: What are these statues about Nate?

He sees there is a statue of himself and Alexander as well as Sam and others.

Alexander looks extremely uncomfortable.

Grace comes over and sees that she has someone with her giving them a tour.

Grace: Here is the park and this section of heroes and their history of what they've done, even some of their "evil" acts, and also says the time of when they live or die.

She takes the person to walk further away.

Spiffy: A memorial? WAIT BUT I'M NOT EVEN DEAD?

Alexander: You will be when they get done with you

He says in a joking manner

Nate: This isn't just for the dead. It's for anyone who's basically super important in their realms...or counts as a hero in some way, shape, and form.

Alexander: I.. hm.. okay

They walk up to their statue and Spiffy sees his and reads "A hero of unknown origins, he is a good person and has some friends who are considered "villains" but he doesn't mind" Spiffy seeing this feels a little creeped out, and proud but at the bottom read "He was born this date..." he then sees its empty and also the date of death but reads "this we'll update instantly once dead."

Alexander finds the "update" factor mildly amusing but then thinks about his own statue and what it'll read. He wants to avoid it for now.

Spiffy: You don't want to see your statue?

Alexander: No

Spiffy: If you say so. I'm kinda hungry. Do you think we could go eat something?

Nate: Yeah. There are a lot of good restaurants but the two best ones are dad's and Frank's.

Spiffy has never seen Alexander eat food before.

Alexander: Ehh.. I'm not really hungry but i'll tag along

Spiffy nods.

Nate leads the way to Frank's restaurant showing them the different shops along the way.

Spiffy hums a tone and says "Welcome to the under wait."

He stops and thinks.

Spiffy: We're underground. There's some monsters we've seen around here and there is a castle...and people sometimes are dropped here by tubes we can say they've fallen down..is this place a reference to something probably not haha due to how peaceful this place is wait also what's realm news?

He says looking at Nate and Alexander.

Alexander: Why the hell should I know?

Spiffy: Well you've traveled to other realms. How about here have you been somewhere like this before?

Alexander thinks about a place in particular

Alexander: Somewhat, but I'd rather be there than here

Spiffy: Why not feel comfortable here?

Alexander: I guess I can say I had a lot of fun there

He smiles for once

Nate: Realm news is basically like regular news except for all realms. You can find out about the latest things happening in the other realms.

Alexander: Is it a newspaper?

He appears to be interested

Spiffy: That's pretty cool if...

He was about to continue but there's a holographic TV that appears.

"Breaking news from the other realms currently in some places there is non stop fights from the headquarters of Alexander. Everyone is enjoying a day off. This has been the first hour of daily news of the realms."

The holographic TV disappears.

Spiffy: Whoa there's some crazy technology here!

Nate: Yep.

Alexander isn't fazed about the technology, or the fact they are fighting.

Nate: You don't seem all that fazed by anything...

Alexander looks at the sky

Alexander: It's not too different from what I'm used to

Nate watches him a bit before looking away.

Nate: Guess I can understand that in a way...anyways you're hungry right Spiffy?

Spiffy: Yeah you were guiding us! To a restaurant!

Nate continues to lead the way and they eventually make it to Frank's restaurant.

Spiffy opens the door and sees its fancy.

Spiffy: How much would it cost to eat here? Well actually it doesn't matter, Alexander is paying.

He says with a smile.

Alexander looks mildly flabbergasted.

Alexander: I'll think about it

Spiffy: What is there to think about? You're paying.

He laughs with a smile on his face.

Alexander: But you're the one eating.

Spiffy: But you're the one with me!

Nate thinks: This is like watching a couple arguing over who's going to pay at the grocery store.

Alexander cracks his knuckles

Grace reads Nate's thought and she comes in and gently glares into his soul making him feel way too much pain for a second then smiles and the pain is gone and she leaves.

Nate: GRACE! You can't just torture people for no reason and I swear if your reading my mind again, I'll tell dad your invading my privacy again.

Grace: IF YOU SAY THAT TO YOUR FATHER THAT IT NEEDS TO BURN HE'LL KICK YOU OUT Nate when you wish to say something say it don't keep it in a thought!

She says smiling and leaves but also shows Nate something on the holographic tv.

It shows lost being hurt by a queen while he's trying to find somewhere to hide Grace, feels pity for Nate, and wonders if Crisp the father of Nate is disappointed or not.

Nate: How about you learn manners and DON'T INVADE SOMEONE'S PRIVATE THOUGHTS!? For all your talk about me needing to learn manners, you certainly don't know any either. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if you turned out evil cause that's how you act.

Spiffy paid for some popcorn and gave some to Alexander while watching this.

Spiffy: By the way Alexander, I was joking about you paying for my food hah!

Alexander: Ha ha very funny

It was sarcasm

The restaurant owner comes out and sees the guests.

Frank: Oh, new people? Also hello Nate, Grace giving you trouble again? Is it about her making fun of your mother? Who was my ex...

Nate: Grace is being Grace and doesn't know anything about manners or privacy yet likes to tell others when they're not using manners...how are you, Frank?

He's getting off this topic, not wanting to keep thinking about someone he can't get away from no matter how much he dislikes her at the moment.

Frank: I'm great. I was hired in a monster apartment. I got the job to be a bartender there but the bar is closed now and my shift ended a while ago so I'm here working regretting my mistakes when I was...someone else..all my mistakes...

Spiffy: So what's your power?

Spiffy says, looking at Frank.

Spiffy: Are you as strong as Alexander here?!

Alexander scoffs.

Alexander: I'm not as strong as you think I am

Spiffy: You destroyed a city...

Alexander: We.. we don't talk about that...

He looks genuinely upset.

Frank laughs and thinks "that's it?"

Frank: Well at least you didn't try to make everyone into shadows and be the embodiment of evil and took almost everything over and used peoples bodies and also hurt those around every time and enjoyed their pain and misery and suffering...sorry.

Spiffy hides behind Alexander being a little scared of what Frank said.

Alexander is back to his usual not being fazed self, although still mildly upset.

Spiffy: Wait, you did that?

Frank: No, someone I knew did anyways, what are you two here for? You seem new around here.

Spiffy being more confident knowing it wasn't him looks at Frank.

Spiffy: Why do you need to know what we're here for?

Alexander: It's a restaurant idiot, he's probably trying to serve you.

Spiffy: Oh uh I would like a burger.

Frank: Pick whatever you want, everything is free here.

Spiffy: Free??

Frank: Yeah we have infinite supplies of food watch.

He snaps his fingers and the magic of the building pull out infinite burger patties and condiments and all fresh and then they disappear.

Spiffy: Whoa..

Alexander: How convient

Everyone can tell he wants to leave from the tone of his voice.

Frank noticed Alexander closely.

Frank: You've suffered haven't you...

Alexander stares directly at him

Alexander: No

Frank gives a sigh and leans down to face him at his height.

Frank: You wouldn't want to go home so bad and hate everyone without reason. There's always a reason...believe me, I know...I was way different than what I am now but I met someone who helped me become better... I have a way you can go home.

Alexander: Alright mister smart guy, what is it

He clearly doesn't believe him

Frank smiles gently.

Frank: Before I help you just know it can only be one of you.

He says looking at him and spiffy.

Alexander: Yeah sure, hey Spiffy, can you go through the pipe thing back home

Spiffy: ?

Alexander: The tube thing that they mentioned earlier

Spiffy: I'm sure I can yeah hm let me try.

A tube appears beneath him but it doesn't take him home but he did go through.

Alexander: Well great, that failed

He puts his hands in his hoodie pockets

Alexander: Fine, take Spiffy home

Nate thinks: That's weird...the tube should have taken him home and yet it didn't take him home. Why is that?

Frank: Sometimes there's a case where it doesn't take someone home, it means they have somewhere they want to go to continue their adventure. You have to know where you want to go

Says to no one but himself.

Suddenly a tube appears and gets Spiffy and Spiffy is wearing a mask that looks like a skeleton from somewhere.

Spiffy: Look Alexander, I have a skeleton mask with a blue eye on now!

Alexander isn't amused and begins to worry about his mother

Frank looks at Alexander and snaps his fingers and is covered in black goop and is taken home.

Nate noticed for the first time Frank's powers are with dark magic making him suspicious of him or of who he truly is.

Nate thinks: Who is Frank...he couldn't actually be...no best not think too much on it for now. Dad trusts him and he's never done anything to hurt anyone here...whether my suspicions are proven correct or not, the facts remain that he's never hurt anyone here.

Spiffy: Can you do that to me, Frank?

Frank: Yes...Nate whatever you see here today..it's nothing don't think about it too hard.

He snaps his fingers and Spiffy is covered in gooo as well and sent home.

Frank: If they ever wish to come back down here, the tubes can send them here but it's up to them if they wish to come visit Nate I have to manage my restaurant. Do you want something to eat?

Nate, despite being told not to think about it too hard, is thinking about it but he gives his head a light shake to stop himself for the time being.

Nate: Yeah. I could go for a milkshake?

Frank nods and makes him a good milkshake and happy he made some new friends well met new people.

Nate drinks his milkshake while thinking of what Frank did.

Frank: You have questions, don't you..?

Nate: Maybe but they can wait...I don't think it'd be wise to talk about this with others present.

He slightly eyes the other patreons in the restaurant who are all enjoying conversations over good meals.

Frank nods and feels upset but thinks "You can read my thoughts with your visions I know..your father told me..listen i still am the embodiment of evil or negative thoughts or feelings and I do take control of people to force them to do things...but I'm not like that anymore your father..he made me realize I have a heart...he told me to be someone else have a new life so I gave myself the name Frank."

Nate thinks: That was not my question but it does answer one of many...but more importantly, you're a being of dark magic correct?

Frank laughs but is upset and thinks "I'm made of it... that's my entire being Nate.. I'm the embodiment of everything evil and dark..negative feelings thoughts everything that would seem negative empowers me...and it sometimes hard to control ...from being back to how I was before.."

Nate thinks: So...do you know of any way to help someone who's trapped somewhere and requires someone of dark magic to be around them to go into places that have light?

His most pressing question right now is about Kat instead of the fact that Frank is a being of pure evil.

Before that question could be answered, the goop re-emerges to form a person who looks...interesting

Unknown: Uh

Frank looks at the sudden person.

Frank: Hello? It seems as if my magic swapped places with someone? Or something? You ok?

Frank is curious by the person who came from his goop as if it swapped with the people who were taken home.

Unknown: Yeah I'm fine, I mean I was in a conversation with someone about my amazing savior who happens to be a god or anomaly or something but thats okay, I can tell someone else about it! :D

This person seems sporadic and unhinged

Frank: Uh huh how's your day??

Frank looks at Nate as if to say to message his father.

Unknown: Great!! Anyways, do you happen to have a notebook I left mine at home

Nate sends a message to his father.

Nate texts: Dad...we need you here please.

Frank: yeah here use this noteboo-

"ATTENTION WE ARE BEING ATTACKED DOWNTOWN SOMEONE IS INTERFERING WITH THE PROTECTION SPELL OF THIS PLACE SOMEONE NAMED BELLA."

Unknown: Ooo a attack, I wanna go see!

Nate gets up and rushes to check what's actually happening.

Unknown looks at Frank

Unknown: Are you still willing to give me that note book?

Frank nods and it's a notebook with knowledge of everyone here and as well and secrets to the dark areas of the underneath kingdom. He then opens it to a blank page and vanishes to reappear with crisp.

Crisp: I WAS TAKING A BATH!

Frank put a towel around him.

Crisp: Why am I here? I was busy fighting Ice and Henry and Henry I dislike him..

Frank: No time! We're being atta-

A giant flash happend and Bella is gone but the magic of this place is fucked up meaning Stacy was also hurt.

Stacy is lying on the ground injured and Grace tries to heal the embodiment of magic.

Crisp took this unknown person to see the damage.

Grace: Crisp your mate..no one is hurt but the magic of this place...there's no more barriers..

Crisp: Just redo them..

Grace: You don't understand! They destroyed the part of Stacy to make barriers!

Grace: You.

She says looking at the unknown person.

Grace: I need you to go with Nate and find a guy named Alex!

Unknown was just drawing

Unknown: Huh?

Grace glares at them and Nate grabs her by the hand and they go to find Alex. Crisp goes to find any casualties as well as others but sees no one got hurt but Stacy so he leaves.

Unknown: Sooo.. what's your name?

He seems to be undeterred by the chaos

Nate: My name is Nate. What's your name?

"Watch OUT!"

Says someone who used a bat to hit a bomb

The bomb goes flying towards them. Some of the children who were born in this kingdom do these things thanks to the barriers protecting them from any damage or property damage. They didn't hear the announcement that they were broken.

Nate: Look out!

Nate manages to tackle the kids out of the way of the bomb so it goes off without hitting the kids...his back is not so lucky although it's not that bad either.

Nate: Ow...Hey! The magic's down so don't do this anymore!

Nate and the person found Alex. He's been enjoying tea during the chaos and looking at a book.

Unknown: I never got to answer, but my name is Atlantis, some call me Atl

He smiles

Nate: Like the ancient god that holds up the world in myths?

Atl: The what

Nate shakes his head.

Nate: Nothing...I'll lend you the story another time right now...ALEX!

Alex: Oh hey guys, what's the hurry?

He says smiling and reading a book.

Alex: Come for some tea?

Nate: No! We've come to get you to help fix the barriers...before someone dies from stupidity. Someone named Bella attacked and they hurt Stacy and now she can't make barriers anymore.

Atl: I want some tea!!

He maintains a cheerful attitude

Alex: I like this person, a tea lover!

He hands Atl a cup.

Alex: Wait, who did you say...? I swear you just said Bella.

He says laughing.

Atl begins to sip the tea

Nate: I did just say Bella. She's hurt Stacy and the barriers are gone! If you need evidence of that, I've got a pretty nice slash in my back to prove it.

It's a small cut across his back, not deep enough to kill him but still hurts and still shouldn't be possible for him to have.

Atl looks in the small bag he keeps in him

Atl: Do you want me to sterilize it for you?

Alex: I would appreciate that thank you and uh...Bella...she finally escaped...

He snaps his fingers and Stacy appears in front of him and he waved his finger and a cloud of magic goes across Stacy giving her back to full power and she adds the barriers back.

Atl is digging in his bag for materials

Alex: ..and who might you be?

He says to atl.

Nate: He's a Greek god named Atlantis.

He's partially joking since Atl isn't a god.

Alex: Oh I was about to say another fellow god haha also Nate did you know your dad is gonna be one as well?

Atl was spacing out, thinking about Mcdonalds

Atl: Oh- yea- im- wait wait? I'm a god :0? reeaaallyy?

Alex: I mean I can make you one just by boop.

He pokes Atl and now he has the power of a god and making a new god a giant beam of light shined out of Atl and now he's a god.

Alex: All done.

Atl: Woaa.. Can I summon art supplies?

Alex: Just think of whatever you want and it appears but it has to be something that won't give copyright, I mean what?

He remembers he was supposed to be sterilizing Nate's wounds

Atl: Awee okay

He takes out rubbing alcohol and puts it on Nate's wound, forgetting to tell him it may hurt

Grace appears and tries to punch Nate to make sure the barriers work again and instead she smiles.

Grace: All fixed also Nate wait a second.

The underneath kingdom feels someone's hurt and some magic spirits fly around him and all healed and they go back into Stacy and Stacy disappears.

Nate glares at her.

Nate: You don't like me because of my mother do you?

Grace: She hurt someone as I see as a son..

Nate: And you're willing to hurt that person's son or do you forget I'm more than my mother? I DO have a father who loves me...kind of feels like you don't care about his feelings at all when you bully his son for something outside of his control.

Grace; I'm sorry.. also Atl do you plan on staying..?

Atl: Sure, I have nothing much better to do

He was a bit off put by the conversation

Nate notices he seems put off and looks away.

Nate: Let's stall our conversation for now Grace. Sorry if we upset you Atl.

He just smiles

Atl: It's fine ^^

Grace nods and leaves and Alex looks at atl and Nate.

Alex: Are you two dating or something?

Atl: No but I wouldn't mind :D

Nate: No we're not dating

Alex: Very well, hey ...Nate don't tell your dad but I want him to be the leader of the gods across all realms. I know that's me but I want it passed onto him..I just want to die...

Atl pats Alex

Atl: But you're too hot to die

Alex: Uh, thank you? I'm not giving you money if that's why you're being so kind for.

He says laughing.

Atl was already busy drawing in the notebook frank gave him

Nate: I won't tell dad but can I ask you a question?

Alex: Yes?

He looks over Atl shoulder to see what he's drawing.

Nate joins him as his curiosity wins over his desire for a possible answer.

Nate: Do you have any idea how to help someone who's trapped in the dark and requires someone of dark magic to be near them in order to go anywhere there is light?

Alex: You're talking about Kat aren't you..?

Nate: Yes...I want to help her but I don't know where to begin other than by asking others for ideas on how to help her.

Alex: Sam told me about her..there is a way to bring her up here.

He waves his finger and pokes atl.

Alex: Now atl think of a person's body to create.

Atl pokes back

Atl: I dunno what body to think about

Alex: Think of a body if you wish to have the soul then we'll shape it up, think of a magic or eye of power you would want and the soul to shine.

Atl thinks of the exact body he has now but with a difference no one really notices

Kat then is given a body that seems like atl but the only difference is the soul shines orange and her eyes are orange.

Kat opens her eyes and is shocked.

Kat: I-I'm alive? How? Why?

Nate: Guess asking you how I can help her.

He chuckles a bit.

Nate: Hi Kat...remember me?

Atl tilts his head in confusion

Kat looks at Nate and cries and hugs him.

Nate is surprised but smiles lightly and hugs her back.

Nate: You're safe now. It's going to be alright.

Kat: n-Nate how am i alive how did you achieve this and I feel healthier..alive..

Alex: Actually it wasn't Nate who saved you he wanted to but give thanks to atl.

He says looking at atl and she smiles happily and cries and hugs him.

Atl feels like he didn't do anything special

Atl: Well you were the one who gave me the power so it was you

He's still confused about this whole ordeal

Nate smiles only a little sad but he's glad she got help in the end as he places a hand on Atl's shoulder.

Nate: You did a lot even if the power was given by another, it was still your power in the end.

He decides to accept it as to not fry his single celled brain

Kat hugs Nate and Alex smiles then looks down and walks away leaving them alone.

Nate: I'm glad you got help in the end, Kat.

Atl: Is the attack thing over now?

Nate: I think so?

Kat: attack?

Grace walks by.

Grace: it wasn't really an Attack, more like a warning..

Grace: Returning to my question, what brings you here atl? And how long do you plan to stay?

Atl: OwO Wellll if you must know, I was in a conversation with a complete stranger talking about my beloved and then all of a sudden I was brought here and then everything started shaking and-

He goes into detail about what happened

Nate gets himself some of the tea and sips it as he listens.

Atl: So thats what happened- but anyways, I don't mind spending a few days here unless I get called into work

Grace: feel free to stay, you could live with Nate's apartment and his siblings and father. You can be there for now.

Atl: Yippee ^^

Grace: So you'll basically be their roommate!

Nate: I mean you could live with me and my family for a while.

Atl: You really mean ittt?

He's like a excited puppy

Nate: Yeah. Dad won't mind and we have the extra room plus it'd be cool to have someone not related to us living with us for a change. Do you want to come along as well Kat?

Atl: Will she forever look like me? :(

It's too late, atl is already sad and sitting in a corner

Nate: We could always try transforming her look with clothes and stuff?

Atl sadly looks at him

Atl: Okay..

Nate shrugs his shoulders.

Grace: We'll choose her to look like that and well it's up to her soul if she wants to change the look but still she doesn't look exactly like you!

..Now he's like a sad puppy-

Nate smiles and he looks like he's found a new victim to torture...it's a little scary

Just then kats hair style turns blonde and her clothing black and white.

Kat: much better style~

Nate frowns and looks down sadly.

Nate: So no to the new outfit?

Kat changes back to her old outfit.

Kat: no I like it just atl doesn't.

Nate: True. It does look good on you.

Kat: So we're all going to share a home?

Atl: It's not that i don't like it- I just didn't want an exact copy of me walking around you know.. Well it's not exactly but-

Kat: I'm not even a full copy but I get what you mean!

Atl is happy he could get out a coherent sentence

Atl: I didn't know I was making a vessel for you.. I was just following Alex instructions

Nate: True. Alex should have been more specific on why you needed to do that.

Kat; Alex he's a cool guy in another reality he's actually my husband..anyways shall we get going to the home wherever it is?

Atl: :0 I wanna be someone's husband

Nate coughs at the sudden news.

Nate: Wouldn't that make you...no nevermind. Not going to think about that one.

Atl is confused

Kat: no I'm not your grandma since Alex is crisps father but no it's not connected to this true reality just an alternative but now I have a body back I wonder if I could get my job back from Jay to reality travel!

Stolen novel; please report.

Nate: Maybe?

Kat: Either way ready atl to be Nate roommate wait wouldn't that be weird due to us all sharing an apartment?

Atl has a couple of feet a way, looking around

Kat is confused by what he's doing and thinks "so he's a god? He's kinda adorable, he's a very curious person!"

Kat: Wait! Nate you know what's funny? Jay was a monster hunter yet she was part dragon and human!

Kat then turns to atl and pokes his stomach.

Atl starts laughing because he's ticklish

Kat laughs with him as they walk to see if anything updated on the hero statues for the spiffy statue it did. It now says he's killed a god with his bare hands.

Atl follows Kat to the statue

Atl: Who's this?

Kat: just some person named Spiffy, he's a hero I see now due to him having a dedicated statue.

She walks over to see Alexander's statue closer and it has updated it reads "The misunderstood hero; Due to having 'counterparts' he's unaware of and his high hero level, many people have trouble figuring out who he truly is. Like the fact he's in a villains organization for unknown reasons and how he seemingly has the ability to hop through any dimension at will. No one knows whether to count him as separate people or as the same person. Despite usually being his usual cheerful self, some people are wary of him due to the rumors and bad stigma.

Kat: Huh, interesting balls.

Atl: I wanna statue ^^ where can I get one?

Suddenly a gold puddle appears and out grows a statue of atl.

He gasps

Atl: Look Look!! Did you see that

He hugs the statue, clearly very happy

Kat gives atl a disgusted look.

Kat: simp.

Atl: b-but its of me

Kat smiles and laughs.

kat: wait i never asked before..hope grace can let us take the statues!

Grace appears behind atl.

Grace: no.

Atl: :(?

Kat: Why can't we take them?

Grace: first off try to....

Kat tries to use her magic to break it off the pedestal but instead it sends her flying to the rocks above the underneath kingdom and comes crashing down at 100 mph per hour and not a single environmental damage due to the protection spell of the kingdom.

Kat: ow..

Grace: relax.

Kat says ouch yet the magic of the kingdom protects you from damage to yourself.

Atl: I wanna keep my statue here ^^ It's so cool

He is still hugging the statue

Grace: hm ok convince him.

Atl statue: why do you want to take me home?

Atl: WOOAH IT TALKS

Atl statue: yes i can talk but only when someone wants to keep me? Unless you mean keep me here yes i am forced to be kept here haha common sense haha.

Atl looks like he's about to cry

Atl: They force you to be heeereee? :(((

Atl statue: no??? Well no not really just being a statue hah i like my job.

He gets back on his podium and is back to being motionless but before that he kissed his own head being atls head.

Atl seems to be happy about this

Atl: Bye bye mister statue ^^

He walks back over to Kat

Kat smiles seeing atl so happy.

Kat: Nate left home without us. I don't know how to find our home...

Grace: I can help!

Kat jumps into atls arms scared.

Kat: CAN YOU STOP SNEAKING UP ON PEOPLE??

Atl almost fell, but managed to keep standing

Kat looks up but blushes and gets off his arms.

Kat: I'm sorry......

Atl ended up blushing as well and reassuring her its ok

Grace laughs and guides them to crisps apartment once at the apartment.

Grace: ok uh here's your key to this room.

She hands separate keys and they go in and it's very nice and clean and sees it's a multistory apartment room. Thanks to the magic of the room they both go upstairs and see a door on the left and right one says Kat the other says Atl.

Kat: our rooms! But I haven't seen Nate around here where do you think he's gone?

Atl: hmmm, maybe he's somewhere calming down?

Kat: Oh alright and we have our rooms pretty close huh?

Then they hear a voice.

Redacted: little brothers im home from the war were not done but just for now i get a break! Huh.. where are they..

Alaric and redacted and comes to hug his older brother and so does Nate. They were both in their room.

Back upstairs Kat looks at atl.

Kat: Should we say hi to our other roommates?

Atl: Yes! I love talking to strangers

kat: I mean are they? It's just Nate's siblings...

Atl: I just got here an hour ago, remember?

Kat: fair enough..

They head down stairs slowly and redacted notices them and pulls out his sword.

Redacted: who are you two!

Ok now we wait it'll be nate explaining for now we just wait and chill

Atl: WOAH A S W O R D LEMME T O U C H!

Nate: Calm down Redacted! These are our new roommates.

Atl: :D

He waves cheerfully redacted eyes Nate but nods and Alaric is excited and hugs the new people.

Redacted: we'll excuse my overprotectiveness welcome!

Atl: Its okay ^^ I accept your welcome

Nate: It's alright big brother. It's good that you're so protective...means the chances of us getting killed by stupidity is less.

Redacted: yeah well dad probably knows more than I do say have you met the king of this place yet?

He says to atl.

Atl: no?

Nate: Dad knows a lot.

Atl: I ran away from mines because he didn't love me

He says jokingly, but he's not joking

Nate: That's sad...but you're here now so might as well enjoy the family life right?

Atl: Yep! ^^

Alaric: Maybe dad can adopt you!

Atl: Ooo.. Maaybeee, i prefer not to have any family ties

Nate: So you don't want to become a part of our crazy family?

Atl: Everytime i get a new family, they all end up to be crazy, so i prefer not to go through that again

Nate: At least we told you it was crazy before you could get into the family.

He laughs but he's concerned as well.

Atl pats Nate on the head

Nate smiles lightly.

Nate: Anyways do you two like your new rooms?

Alaric: We're not that crazy!

Kat: Yes, I like my room.

Atl forgot what it looked like

Atl: Maaaybeeeee

He's still patting Nate and looks very happy about it

Nate smiles letting him pat his head.

Atl: So what now?

Nate: Now we have breakfast?

Atl: mmmm oki

Redacted cooks and serves everyone their breakfast alaric sits next to atl and redacted between everyone.

Redacted: nate you turn 18 this year you excited?

Nate shrugs nonchalantly.

Nate: I guess.

Atl: You're 17? How nice ^^ It's my favorite number

Nate: Yeah. I'm only 17 but I'll be 18 when my birthday hits.

Atl: when's that?

Nate: Not for a while.

He pouts as he places his head onto the table.

Atl: awe..

Atl gently pats him to cheer him up

Redacted pats Atl's head.

Atl smiles

Alaric: my siblings are getting older.

He says with a sad smile.

Kat: What does your dad do? He isn't here maintaining the kingdom is he?

Nate: Nope. He's off in another kingdom...playing hero?

He says the last part in confusion since technically his father is a hero but it would also be considered playing as one in the kingdom he's in or would it?

Atl eats

Redacted: Dad needs a break...

Kat: Why do you say that?

Redacted: well we hardly see him. He's been so busy but he maintains us and helps him talk to us in our dreams.

Kat: creepy..

Nate: It'd be nice if he was here more...

Kat: Do you feel upset since he isn't here as often..my father always was..for the wrong reasons...he was there for me..

She says and she smiles but Nate sees flashes of her fathers doings and it's terrible how he treated Kat that way just because she looked like her mother.

Nate: .....Sometimes but sometimes it can be too much when we're outside of the home but I miss him.

Kat: And how about your dad? Atl how bad is he im assuming bad as mine?

Atl doesn't want to talk about it so he just smiles instead to hide his sorrows

Atl: Maybe

Kat gives atl a hug so does everyone else the tv then comes on.

" breaking news realities are merging ever since the attack from bella people have been said to be getting memories of alternate realities of themselves all there different versions would cease to exist and all their memories into the original version"

Just then atl starts to melt but due to the god power Alex separated the aus and made him his own being.

Redacted: wait you were melting but now you're ok???

Atl: owo

He seems to be unbothered by this because he's a psychopath

Nate shrugs, unsure of what's happening anyways.

Redacted: whatever the case i just had some weird memoirs of alternate versions of me just now..

Alaric: same...

Kat: Jokes on you I died in each reality and my power was that I got my counterparts memoires so I'm used to this..

Atl: That sounds intense.

Kat: And all in the same way, thanks to my father!!

Atl: we should go beat him up >:D

Nate decides to soundly ignore these new memories and bury them deep into his mind.

He isn't able to gracefully store those memories with the magic of the kingdom to her.

Grace: alex... Stacy, you sure no one would notice that we are removing those extra memories from people and encasing them..

Alex: I'm sure no one minds..

Grace nods and uses the machine to get those memories out of everyone across the realms and encase them.

Back into the apartment redacted tripped and punched atl but thanks to the barrier nothing happened.

Atl: ??? Did you wanna hit me?

He was startled

Redacted: not on purpose i tripped?

Atl: Rigggght..

He didn't seem to believe this but didn't look upset or anything

Nate: At least the barriers are back up now so you can't get hurt...although you need to be more careful big brother.'

Redacted: if that was dad punch he would've shatter reality if he was going all out i think dad never goes all out never know why...

Nate: Maybe for that reason?

Atl: hm.

Atl was thinking about something

Nate: Whatcha thinking about Atl?

Atl: ..Nothing important

Nate sips his drink while watching him curiously.

Atl looks away, wanting to avoid eye contact before promptly standing up

Atl: I'm gonna go outside for a minute! ^^ Bye bye!

He quickly walks out

Nate: Interesting...

Redacted looks at Nate saying you should check up on him.

Nate takes another sip of his drink and a bite of food before going to check on Atl.

Nate: Hey...you alright?

Atl: Yeah I'm 100% fine! Completely normal, you know? Just living the life :3

He had his notebook in his hand

Nate looks at him like he doesn't believe him.

Nate: Uh huh and next you're going to tell me you're going to pull a rabbit from a hat now what's wrong?

For comedic purposes, atl ended up finding a rabbit while nate was talking and was to busy petting it to pay attention

Atl: Hey look what I found ^^

Nate: That's a cute rabbit...Alaric might be missing it.

Redacted comes outside with some hot chocolate, gives it to them and smiles and heads back in.

Atl takes the hot chocolate and sips it

Nate smiles as he holds his and looks across the street

Nate: You know...this place is great.

Atl starts to think that he should never leave

Atl: Yeah ^^ you're right

Nate: Hey tell me about the place you came from? I've only ever been to one other place before so I'm curious.

Atl: where I came from..

He holds the hot chocolate thinking of a response

Nate: Mhm, the place you grew up in is not necessarily your family life.

Atl: Its a modern city that has mountains nearby

Redacted sits by nate.

Redacted: I just got Alaric to sleep. He's so energized sometimes. Hey, Alt you're free to stay it's up to you if you want to.

He says smiling to atl.

Nate: Yeah! You can stay and we can talk more.

Atl: Okay ^^ Maybe then I can draw everyone something

Redacted: well then welcome home and alright!

A holographic tv appeared in front of them it shows lost fighting for the war happening in the kindness realm the tv then disappears.

Atl is confused

Atl: who is that, and why did it appear

Redacted: that was someone fighting in a war and dont mind those tvs they appear to keep us updated on the news of other realms

Atl: ooo.. Okay

Nate is blushing lightly.

Nate: We're not sure who he is other than he's fighting in the war.

Atl pokes his face, wondering why he's blushing

Nate: Why are you poking my face?

Atl: mmmmmm, no reason ^^

He starts to play with his face because he finds it cute and squishy

Nate makes a cute noise.

Nate: Stop, is my face that fun to play with?

Redacted smiles at this sight

Atl stops

Atl: Soorrri ^^'

Nate smiles lightly.

Nate: Did you have fun playing with my face?

Atl: Yes actually

He laughs although his face is red again.

Atl begins to start drawing

Nate: What are you drawing?

He takes a tiny look over his shoulder although he does it slowly so Atl could hide it if he doesn't want him to see.

Atl: you :D

Its a drawing of Nate being flustered

He blushes again.

Nate: W-Why me?

Atl: I want to capture this moment to view upon again because its nice ^^

Nate: Me flustered is nice?

Atl: Yes :3 It's a enjoyable memory

He blushes more not used to this type of praise.

Atl smiles and goes back to drawing

Redacted: so when's the marriage:?

Atl thinks about it

Atl: I dunnooo

He seems to be way to lax about this

Redacted: well if you guys married id have another little brother.

He says smiling.

Atl tilts his head, wondering if redacted knows that he has a female body

Nate is beyond red now and shoves at his brother.

Nate: Redacted!! Don't say weird stuff!

Redacted: well since you're a god now atl you can shapeshift!

Atl gasps in excitement

Atl: REALLLLYYY??

Nate laughs at this excitement.

Nate: I believe that's a common thing for gods to be capable of. Shapeshifting I mean...

Redacted: yeah i thought you knew any god can shapeshift.

Atl: noooo.... I haven't really.. Hmm... well...

He tries to think, but he has some suppressed memories

Nate: You can do it, Atl!

Redacted smiles and hugs them both and tears up.

Redacted: so much has been happening in that war...

Atl: You seem to care about the war alot, what is it about

Redacted: reason i care about it since my friends and everyone else is there... yella and maddie.. Rex and others...plus I fight the war even though I don't want to. I want to be here where it's peaceful and safe...

Atl: I see.. Is there any way I can help?

Redacted: yes

Atl: How so?

Redacted: can you protect my brothers?

Atl: I'll do my best despite not having any fighting experience

Nate: So you're staying in our place?

Atl nods

Redacted: yeah he'll live with us forever wait i mean unless he doesn't want to.

Nate: Atl might just decide it's too much to live with me.

He's teasing as evident by his chuckling.

Atl: -3- Im pretty sure i'm way crazier than you can possibly comprehend

Redacted: just if you hear Nate mumbling in his sleep it's ok.

Atl: Oh yay ^^ I do something similar

Nate punches his brother's arm blushing bright red.

Nate: I do not mumble in my sleep!......What exactly do I say in my sleep not that I do but what is it you're claiming I say?

Atl listens

Redacted: Are you sure you want me to say?

Nate: Are they things that'll make me die of embarrassment or are they small things like food related things?

Redacted: you'll faint..

Nate: Nope! I don't want to know what I may or may not have said.

He's blushing again.

Atl: I wanna heeaarr

Nate: Why?

Atl: why not ^^

Nate: It'd be embarrassing...

He feebly suggests blushing.

Atl: that makes me wanna hear it moreee!

Redacted: he was thinking and saying dirty things to outloud.

Atl did not expect that

Nate: SHUT UP!

Atl: Like what :D?

It's like he's on a personal mission to make this worse for Nate

Redacted pats Atl's head

.

Redacted: trying to tease him?

Atl: Noo? Why?

Turns out he was just curious

Nate: Wow look at the time! Night!

He flees the area back inside.

Atl smiles and waves, not noticing he did this to get away

Atl: Goodnight ^^

Redacted leans into atl ear.

Redacted: don't be too tough on him he's very sensitive even if he is strong.

Atl tilts his head, unaware of what he did

Atl: huh?

Redacted: you made him feel embarrassed but not to ba-

As he was about to finish his sentence the tube took him back up to fight in the war.

Atl looks upset that he's gone now

Atl: aw..

But now he gets the idea to explore, so he ends up walking away. Kat sees he went walking out the window and saw he went for a walk so she went out.

Kat: Wait for me!

Atl: ? Oh! I didn't know you were coming along ^^

He does sound glad she came though

Kat: Of course!

They go together on a walk to the park and they sit together.

Kat: Oh, they have an amusement park around here!

Atl looks at her in excitement

Atl: can we go pretty pleaseeeee?

He has puppy dog eyes

Kat: yeah alright let's go!

They go to have some fun and at the ticket booth are crisps sisters.

Jacklyn: welcome!

Atl: Hiii!!

He waves energetically

Atl: Who are you?

Jacklyn: my name is Jacklyn I'm one of crisps sisters I help with this place with Harry! And my other sister!

Atl: Ooo.. your name is pretty ^^

Jacklyn: aw thank you! You are also very good looking and what's your name?

Brianna: Hey Mrs Jacklyn~ no flirting with the customer's sister!

Jacklyn: I WASN'T! I was complimenting!

Kat laughs.

Brianna: Anyways 5$ per bracelet it's 5$ if you come with a group so like you two since technically two is better than one!

Jacklyn: So true!

He thinks before saying his name is atlantis then looks at Kat, knowing he has no money

Kat; I don't get money either, I just was brought back from the dead..

Jacklyn nods and just whispers to her sister "Let's let them go for free, we aren't even in this for the money just to see people enjoy themselves.."

Brianna presses a button to open the gate.

Brianna: Enjoy your time!

Kat: r-really?

Brianna: yeah of course!

Atl is happy so he decides to draw them later as a thank you

Kat grabs Atl's hand and they go to the Ferris wheel but she has to tie her shoes and Jacklyn sees Nate so Jacklyn flicks her hand and magic wind pushes them both in together on the ride.

Atl is a bit disoriented by the sudden movement

Atl: what was that?

Nate groans as his own disorientation arrives.

Nate: Evil wind...too strong.

He's laid out across Atl's lap.

Jacklyn smirks and Brianna laughs silently and together manage the ride of the Ferris wheel and stops it at the top to see the amazing view being Nate and atl at the top kat is still tying her shoes.

Kat: damn shoes..

Atl looks down to see Kat at the bottom

Atl: Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat 😢

Kat looks up and waves at him.

Kat: meh there already on a ride I'm going to the haunted house alone.

Brianna: damn ballsy

Kat: IT'S THAT CAN DO ATTITUDE BITXH!

She leaves and goes to the haunted house.

Atl sadly watches Kat leave

she comes back a second later.

Kat: TO SCARY! GET ME UP THERE'

she looks at atl with a sad face Brianna hands Kat a megaphone.

Kat: GET ME UP THERE!

Atl looks at Nate, not knowing how

Nate smiles, shrugging slightly.

Nate: I'm not the god here...too bad mom isn't here.

Brianna uses the megaphone "NATE USE YOUR DREAMSCAPE DAM POWER TO BRING HER UP THERE I KNOW YOU HAVE THAT SINCE YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE THAT AND WE KNOW WHO'S CONNECTED TO USE IT!"

Nate spikes before shouting back.

Nate: NO! I'M NOT A TAXI SERVICE!

Brianna laughs and does it herself and points to them and says silently "dream.." and Kat is magically in there with them.

Kat: scary...hey guys!

Nate: Hey.

Atl: :0 Ellooo!!

Kat hugs them and Brianna starts the ride again and it goes slowly around in a circle.

Kat: This is nice..

Atl seems to be enjoying the ride

Nate: Yeah...you can see the whole kingdom at the top.

He looks outside the glass of the ferris wheel.

Kat: atl Nate likes that lost guy

Atl was confused for a moment before thinking

Nate turns bright red.

Nate: W-What? D-Do not...

He's so red and looking away.

Kat: your big brother told me also nate if he died...how would you feel?

Nate: Why would he...gah so much for brother loyalty...

He refuses to look at either of the two as he stares out the glass, face red.

Kat: The reason he told me is since I saw his journal! He has things about you and others he cares for and protects them like your dad I think? Also I found his notebook. There's some good stuff in here!

Atl finds this cute and is happy, knowing someone cares about him

She says about to open it again.

Kat: It even says who he likes!

Nate quickly snatches it from her.

Nate: Don't read people's private journals! That's just wrong...

Kat: aw come on has he ever told you his crush?

Nate: No and that's probably because he's not ready to tell me about it.

He keeps a tight hold on the journal so she can't get it back but he also looks like he wishes to look at it himself.

Kat: really? He would tell you oh! Also atl do you have any crushes?

Nate mumbles: I'm sure he'd tell me eventually especially if he decides to marry this person.

Atl is drawing the two he saw earlier in his notebook

Nate: I think he's ignoring us...or at least you.

He smirks at Kat, teasing a bit.

Atl looks up at him, finally finished the drawing

Atl: huh?

Nate: She was asking if you have someone you're crushing on?

Atl thinks for a bit before mildly blushing

Atl: Slightly

Nate: Slightly?

Atl holds his notebook close to him

Atl: I suppose it's more of idolizing

Nate: Who is it?

Atl looks away and doesn't answer, reminiscing

Nate tilts his head curiously.

Nate: They must be pretty amazing.

Atl smiles

Atl: Yeah ^^

He thinks about how the person is a literal god, a eldritch horror, something that shouldn't be witnessed by a human

Nate: Tell me about them...pwease

He looks at him pleadingly.

Atl: Hmm.. Well I can't really think of much to say about him, other than he saved me from death, and gave me a new chance at living

Nate: They sound pretty cool. Maybe we could meet him one day?

Atl nods, although doubting this to happen

Kat: I mean from the story from this kingdom anyone is allowed to come in well I think? To this place of peace and tranquility but it seems weird sometimes you know how did someone like Bella manage to mess with the embodiment of magic...I'm sure she isn't working alone...and anyone can come as long as no copyright or the person wants to come.

Atl thinks about it, before ultimately deciding that if the person comes, he'll turn into a simp factory so it's not a good idea

Nate suddenly thinks of something.

Nate: Wasn't there a barrier against people who'd do harm? So how did Bella even get here?

He doesn't realize he's speaking out loud.

Atl eats a unopened pop tart he found in his bag

Atl: I dunnoo, I didn't even know magic existed until a while ago

Grace: oh not just magic but also powers!

Kat jumps scared into the others arms.

Kat: CAN YOU STOP APPEARING LIKE THAT!

Grace: why? Am I scary~.

Atl: Maybe she's scared of all of a sudden seeing a pretty women :D

Nate: Would you stop jumpscaring easily spooked people!

He says not used to having people jumping into his arms

Grace: aw come on wasn't you a ghost~ she should be used to scaring people~!

Kat looks at grace angered.

Atl hugs Kat trying to calm her down

Nate: Scaring people and being scared are two different things. You'd know that if you weren't always annoying.

Grace: well without me you all wouldn't have known of the 4th wall~.

Kat: And we still don't! I don't understand it still but you talk about copyright and stuff so much! Also does crisp and Sam learn that from you too? Because redacted says they know about it I don't know them but I trust Nate's older brother's word!

Atl is staring at Grace for some unknown reason

Grace looks at atl and pulls out a holographic picture of him and everything there is to know about them.

Grace: interesting..only the king and well me know everyone and their information and EVERYTHING about them~.

Kat: creepy...I can see why you have no friends.

Grace is hurt by that and left.

Atl decides he would like to get off of the ferris wheel now that his spirit is lowered.

Nate laughs but quickly covers his mouth and shoots Grace an apologetic look.

Nate: Have you ever drawn your home Atl?

He quickly changes the subject and senses the dropping mood.

Atl: No since it only gives me bad memories

Kat hugs atl and cuddles.

Atl smiles and blushes a bit

Kat: don't worry, you're my best friend! I got your back!!

Nate: Yeah! We've got you! Have you been anywhere besides your home?

Atl: Well.. Just a few places like school, the library, game stores, the usual

He appears to be happier now

Nate: Have you ever drawn those places? Like places you like to visit or hang out at?

Atl: rarely, since it only gives me minimal joy.. But i would love to travel the world and draw those places instead

Nate: Traveling the world does sound fun...

He's smiling yet it doesn't reach his eyes.

Atl holds his hands

Atl: Then let's go together!

Nate blushes a bit but looks down sadly.

Nate: I don't think it's possible for me...Think Redacted would kill me for going outside the safety of the kingdom...

Atl: Who said he has to knoooow?

He smiles

Kat; how would he know? If he's fighting in that war again?

Nate: When he comes home and finds me gone? Plus someone has to take care of Alaric and I don't think I can get a neighbor to do that for me.

Atl: He can come too!! ^^

Nate: Do you think he'd want to come?

Atl: Maybe? Doesn't hurt to ask

Nate: Maybe...It'd be nice to see what it's like outside of this kingdom.

Atl pats his head

Nate smiles slightly blushing.

They go back home but before they did atl hands Jacklyn and Brianna a gift being drawings of them.

Brianna: I look hot as fuck!

Jacklyn: you do we look fucking sexy!

Brianna: Thank you dear.

They give Atl a friendly kiss on the cheek as appreciation.

Atl turns bright red

Kat smiles happily and smirks.

Kat: mind if I have some of your power if we do go to the other place~

She says that with an innocent smile.

Atl: Some of my power?

Kat: y-yeah don't friends help friends out?

Nate: Do you need his power? You should be fine right?

Atl nods in confusion

Kat: y-yeah..

She says smiling and her eyes for a second are different there purple just like Bella's eyes but then back to normal and she grabs her eye.

Kat: AH PAIN

Atl gets very worry and tries to comfort her

Atl: Are you okay!??

Nate is both worried and suspicious having noticed the eye color change.

Nate thinks: Did I imagine it?

Atl looks at Nate with worry

Nate shrugs unsure of what was the best choice but inside he has a feeling that they shouldn't share any power with her.

Atl: Are there any doctors?

Nate: She shouldn't be able to be hurt...the barriers prevent it from happening.

He reminds him while staring at Kat.

Atl had completely forgot, now wondering why she felt pain

The eye color changed back to normal.

Kat: r-right I'm all better! Thanks to the magic of this place!

Atl.. has no idea what to think, feeling that this is getting awkward

Nate stares at her but lets it go for the time being although he does grab Atl on their way out.

Nate: We're going to the restroom.

It's clear he just wants to talk to him privately

Kat: c-can I come!

Atl shakes his head no in confusion

Atl: I don't think you can because its a boys restroom

Kat: I-i ok!

Once the two are inside the restroom.

Kat tries to listen in from the outside of the bathroom.

Nate pulls the two into the dreamscape so they can't be overheard. (Dreamscape basically a pocket dimension but thoughts control that place)

Atl is amazed by this place

Nate: We can't trust her...she shouldn't have even been able to have gotten hurt at all so her story of being suddenly hurt has to be a lie which means she's hiding something from us.

Atl gives her a small benefit of the doubt

Atl: Maybe the barriers all of a sudden were bypassed by a super strong force? That seems to be common here

Nate: how is that possible if it's never happened and only when Bella...

Atl nods, hinting at that's what he was referring to

Nate starts to think "ever since Bella.."

Atl: Yeah! Maybe the barriers are still acting weird from that

Unknown: maybe so...or maybe not?

Atl looks around to find whos talking

It's a woman with a beautiful white dress and white eyes and she's tan.

Atl gasps

Atl: Nate where did this pretty women come from

Nora: How funny, the name is Nora. I'm the one created when the Dreamscape becomes a reality.. thank crisp for that since he was able to create his siblings. Nate has this ability but others in this blood line might not be so lucky since I choose who I want to be the next dreamer.

Atl started spacing out during all of this

Atl: I see.. Anyways

He clears his throat

Atl: Can I marry you?

Nora: mighty forward are we. First off, how old are you?

Atl: seventeeenn-

Nora: ah well your just a year short haha I'm 18 Nate here is 17 if you didn't know already.

He nods

Atl: Yup! I'm waiting for his birthday so we can throw a giant party

Nora: Am I invited? And as well as Mrs Molly?

He nods energetically but doesn't know who mrs molly is

Nora: You hear that Molly? You're invited.

She says looking at Nate since Molly is inside Nate waiting to have her soul separated to be in an individual body.

Nora: if you didn't know Molly technically is Nate's mother!

He tilts his head

Atl: So technically that means she was already invited..

He looks at her sadly

Atl: So I can't marry you?

Nora:hm when you're 18 then we'll talk!

Nate ended up in thought "Didn't dad already remove her from me or was that a dream?"

Atl sobs on the floor

Nora: hm Nate question how's your father he hasn't been in touch with me for a while...

Nate: I...think he's alright...maybe.

Nora: You don't know do you?

Nate: Am I my dad's keeper? He's rarely home!

Nora interrupts Nate before he becomes rude.

Nora: your something more important your his son.l

Nate looks away.

Nate: And that makes him wish to visit more?

Nora: you miss him...

Nate: I rarely see him anymore...of course I miss him

Nora: You know he's trying..he tries and talks to you any time he can in your dreams also about your little friend here why bring them here?

She says looking at atl.

Nate: I know but it's not the same...I needed to talk to Atl without the risk of being eavesdropped and the dreamscape seemed the best option.

Atl is rolling around on the ground

Nora: ah a private talk I won't disturb you both please continue but if you ever need me Nate remember I'm just a thought away.

She vanished.

Atl sadly looks at Nate

Nate: You know I can make myself look that good too...actually that's not important.

He's blushing.

Atl: Are you saying you wanna marry me ^^?

He goes even redder.

Nate: I-I didn't say that...

Atl: mmmmm you kinda did..

Atl thinks about it

Atl: Then let's get married instead :DD

Nate is shocked and stares at him completely red in embarrassment.

Atl seems to be completely fine

Nate looks away unsure of what his answer should be since they'd only just met.

Atl: we can think about it later than

He gives a warm smile

Nate smiles lightly at him, face still red and nods.

Nate: Y-Yeah. We can take our time on an answer.

He shakes his head a little.

Nate: Anyways...let's not give Kat any of our power for the time being until we know for sure if she's telling the truth or if she's after something darker...

He nods in agreement

Frank then enters the public bathroom and sees them and just walks by and uses the urinal once done washes his hands.

Frank: Hey, have you two seen Jay? She was supposed to come by now with supplies from another reality and give it to Alex even if Bella's plan to make us all have memories of other realities of ourselves taking out the other realities it didn't work since Alex encased those memories so they still exist..yet Jay hasn't arrived yet have you two heard anything of her?

Nate: No...it's not like her not to come back is it?

Frank: I talked to Alex and she went to the reality we told her not to go...being the reality we're crisp is beyond evil..

Nate: That's not good...dad being evil can't be a good thing.

Frank: it's not...I don't know much about that place but Alex said he might send the previous worker there to find Jay he said the previous worker was kat? But he said she was dead...??

Nate: She's alive now but...nevermind. Jay's safety is more important.

Frank: Wait, how is she alive?

Nate: Atl brought her back with his new god powers under Alex's directions.

Frank: ah well good for him!

He says looking at atl he leaves but looks back.

Frank: Nate I don't want you reading about that reality ok?

Nate thinks: Yeah that's going to stop me.

Nate: Ok...

Frank smiles and leaves and he sees Alex.

Alex: Ok so there's Kat right there Frank.

Frank sees that she's waiting for Nate and atl.

Alex: I want you to get her back to do her old job.

Frank: Why do I have to do that?

Alex: because you in each reality showed her a new life.

Frank: fine..

Alex leaves and Frank walks up to Kat. They discuss about the old job Kat had and she seems upset but accepts and stomps the ground three times and is in the hallway with the doors she goes into the one that leads her to that reality.

Meanwhile back to atl and Nate.

Nate: So...want to go read that book he said not to?

Atl: But thats meaaannn... Sure! ^^ I feel a bit devious for some reason.

As the two leave, they go to Alex's shop.

Alex: Oh hey Nate and atl nice to see you two again.

Atl: Hellooo!

Alex: What brings you to my shop? Want a book to read about the other realities or wear a mask of people of those realities who are added people or use the clothes of those other realities of your counterparts!?

Atl looks at Nate.

Nate: Clothes of our counterparts? Actually we do want to read a book...about evil dad.

He's now also curious about the clothes his female counterpart wears.

Alex then eyes both atl and Nate.

Alex: Why that book of that reality when there're tons of others? Did you ask your father if you could read it?

Nate: If I said yes would you let me read it?

He asks, giving him an innocent look.

Atl looks at alex too

Alex: Yes and even if you said no since I know that book you would probably hate it.

Nate: Probably but I'm curious as to why Frank would tell me not to read it.

Alex: Well it's due to the fact you have an act to overreact and your father knows that too.

Atl listens curiously

Nate: I guess that makes sense in a way...

During this time you can hear yelling and a tube plops spiffy down.

Spiffy: they weren't lying these things have a mind of their own oh hey guys!

Nate: Hey Spiffy, welcome back!

Spiffy: yeah well i was asked if Icould stay here and well i have no where else to really go so i say fuck it!

Nate laughs at that.

Nate: We get a lot of people who like this place but that's because they have a bad place to compare it to...this place is heaven to those who wish to escape their own painful wounds.

Spiffy: Yet you want to leave this place? Grace told me before bringing me back that you wish to leave this place even if it is like a peaceful land.

Nate looks right at him.

Nate: When you've lived in nothing but peace you sometimes start to wonder what it's like without the peace...what would happen if this peaceful place has to face the cruelty of the outside realms? Would it survive? I just want to see the places I can't see for myself but those questions are also there.

Atl pokes spiffy on the face'

Spiffy pokes atl in the face back.

Atl: ^^

Spiffy: So your reason to leave is to feel pain?

Nate: Not really...Look around Spiffy. This place is all I've ever known but there's nothing here that is out there...not fully anyways. No mountains, no valleys...no real danger either...I want to feel what others feel but I also really want to see places. I want to see the places I can't see here.

Spiffy pulls out a map and plops it into Nate's face politely.

Atl thinks about how to help Nate leave

Spiffy: the map says here that this kingdom has mountains forests valleys and even other things from above ground this place just is filled with kindness and not hatred nothing bad here well from what i've seen so far that's what it feels like now nate if you want to see what it's like out there be ready to see a lot of pain and misery,,,

Nate sighs, shaking his head.

Nate: You can't ever understand it. You come from out there and yo-.

Grace appears and takes atl and Nate out before Nate could finish his sentence.

Grace: spiffy let him experience it he's right if you're born here... you know nothing else besides kindness and caring and nothing negative...

Spiffy: You seem like an understanding lady.

Grace: only when I want to be can I tell you a secret?

Spiffy: you just met me but sure go ahead!

Grace laughs and ends up smiling.

Grace: The reason I'm so hard on Nate is that well i just want him to be safe and want him to be out of his little bubble he has. I know I shouldn't do that but...if he always doubts himself he'll always hurt himself with his own words...i one time caught nate trying to hurt himself....but since there's barriers here to prevent you from getting hurt he couldn't i never told his father ...i shoulda but i was scared how he would have reacted crisp is the FAMOUS hero but honestly he doesn't spend a lot of time with nate when right now he needs that badly since he's in that teen age...he may be close to being an adult but without his parent by his side he feels hurt alone...even if he has his mother he still feels lost....

Spiffy took all this information in and has no words to say to grace.. But he hopes the person that's with Nate could help him.

Back to atl and nate it instead took nate to the bottom of the underneath kingdom the portal room.

Jay looks at them.

Jay: why are you back here nate you know you can't be here...do you want to go to another world? Or something just use the tubes! Unless..

She comes up close to them and whispers.

"You're trying to go to another realm without permission..."

Nate: Technically I'd have to be doing that cause you know...

Jay: ah well smart since your father knows where the tubes go but he doesn't use these but just knows that dream thing you have he won't be able to contact you if you go to another place...

Nate: I don't plan on staying long...maybe a week or less.

Jay: What about your little brother? And by the way, who's your friend?

Atl is just observing things

Nate looks down already knowing that this wasn't going to work because of his brother.

Nate: This is Atl...guess I should head home...Alaric might be up to something or need me.

He looks like a kicked puppy

Grace brought alaric down.

Grace: dont tell your father im helping...alaric wanted to go with you anyways.

Grace: be safe ok?

She disappears and Jay waits patiently.

Nate: Why do you want to go to Alaric?

Alraic: because I'll miss big bro and this handsome man!

Atl notices him and waves happily

Atl: Hiii ^^

Jay flicks alaric's head.

Jay: You're 15!! No dating!

Alaric: hmph i just said he's handsome!

Points to atl.

Atl smiles since he doesn't get called that alot

Jay: Wait, I'm a reality traveler. Does your brother still have the uh puppet ability and 6 hands he can make..?

Atl: the what?

Alraic smirks with an evil smirk and raises his hand and strings attach to atl making him lose control of his whole body and he can control their ability and them but he stops and acts innocent.

Alaric: I didn't do anything..

Atl is shocked

Atl: ....WOAAH CAN YOU DO IT AGAIN

He looks very amazed

Atl: Can I do thaatt?

His eyes shine with amazement!

Nate pouts a bit but he's also glad that his brother is getting recognized.

Alaric: Big brother dates the handsome man! He is cool!!

And Alaric does it again and this time uses the person's ability.

Nate flushes at his baby brother's words.

Nate: Which realm do we want to go to?"

Atl seems confused about the ability he didn't know he had

Jay looks at atl more then takes out a book and flips through and sees a picture that in a different reality atl is the god of creation whatever they draw and wish to draw themselves with a power they get that power.

Jay then thinks "hm..this is a different reality of this person but yet he's doing the same steps maybe..he also becomes that same god.."

Jay: You know there are many realities of you or versions of you they all are very different but in all of those realities we don't exist.

Alaric: If there's other realities, which is this one..?

Atl: ooo...

He wonders if he can see them

Nate: Our home would be my guess...

Jay: wrong this reality is the original reality.

Nate: It's our home whether it's the original or not. Whichever place our other realities call home, is there home no matter of reality therefore this is our home...original sounds...nevermind.

Jay: very true anyways uh enough talk which realm would it be you wish to go.

She points to the portals.

But suddenly the kindness kingdom portal starts to act weird thanks to Vanessa using the portal machine to mess with it..starts to become a vacuum and Nate and Alt are pulled in. Jay tried to save them but couldn't but destroys the portal she does so no one else can be sucked in.

Atl is disorientated.

Nate groans a little but manages to sit up.

Nate: W-Where are we?

Yella and Maddie see them.

Yella: NATE WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE??!

Atl gets startled by the yelling and flinched then looked around to see where it was coming from

Yella: Nate, does your dad know you're here?

Nate: Don't yell! And if I said yes would you believe me?

He asks with an innocent smile on his face.

Atl looks around and sees they're in a tunnel. Unfamiliar faces are sitting around.

Unknown person comes uo running to attack them and the maddie knocked them the fuck out.

Maddie: calm down all of you this is nate the son of our abandoned hero...

Everyone looks at Nate and the others and they all want to attack Nate maddie and yella defend them.

Atl looks at nate too

Nate stays still, his body tense but his eyes are focused as if he can sense he might have to fight but doesn't want to appear as a threat to these scared people.

Atl hugs him to try and calm him down

He smiles lightly at him.

Nate whispers: I'm fine...just not very confident in my fighting skills but I think I can beat them if I have to...maybe.

But just as they're going to attack above ground there's noise GET HIM HE'S TRYING TO LEAVE THE KINGDOM!"

Atl whispers back: I'll try to help

Maddie: NATE YOU HAVE TO GO NOW!

Nate looks at her confused.

Nate: What's going on!?

Atl looks at her too, with concern

A person from said tunnel brings someone down and they check up on them and suddenly maddie uses magic to send them three above ground and somewhere not known.

Atl: >-<

He still isn't use to teleportation so he ends up almost vomiting

Nate pats his back gently, his body still tense as he watches their surroundings trying to figure out what's just happened.

Nate: I don't recognise where we are...it's clear a war is raging though.

Alaric: Is that big brother!!???

Redacted is working in the forest. He's been using his magic and working hard and looking for any sign of bella.

Nate shout-whispers: REDACTED!

He's trying to attract Redacted while also not attract others

Atl tries to get his attention by flailing his arms

He turns around and since he doesn't know it's them he plans to attack.

Redacted; STOP SAY SOMETHING ONLY NATE OR ALRAIC WOULD KNOW!!

Atl hides behind Nate. He happens to have some ptsd about being hurt by someone

Nate holds his brother's stare with a look of annoyance.

Nate: Do you really want me to say anything that might humiliate you in front of our baby brother? Although I could mention how you're fighting a war against some lady for some reason leaving me to be the parent of our baby brother...but that wouldn't be much fun would it?

Redacted stances up ready to attack..

Redacted; THATS WHAT YOU ALREADY SAID WHEN I SAW YOU HERE WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU! IF YOU WERE MY BROTHER HE WOULD'VE BEEN SMART AND STAYED HOME HE'S NOT AN IDIOT HE'S THE SMARTEST MAN I KNOW!

Nate: Oh...you think it's smart staying behind and KNOWING that your big brother is risking his life while leaving you to become a parent almost instead of going to try to help? But in this case, you'd be right that I wouldn't have brought Alaric to this realm if I HAD been given a choice but the portal messed up.

Redacted then realizes that is nate he drops his weapon it flies after redacted but redacted ran and tackles his brethren and holds them after a while redacted explains to them that the queen here is vanessa and she has taken over but he feels like it isn't truly her doing and that he's seen another person here "kat.. Was there too.. I don't know why but she talks to the queen.. As if she knows them but she even said the name bella when that was vanessa not bella...i think vanessa is under bellas control..nate find bella and make her do the right thing and tell me if you find an answer to why this is going on.'' Redacted holds his brothers again but he stays quiet and cries and thought "they're all grown up" he lets Nate and the others go.

Atl remained silent

Nate is confused by the information but remains quiet as he thinks it all over.

Nate: We're in hostile territory and we don't know the layout of the place...we need to find shelter to come up with a plan and it needs to be somewhere safe plus we need sleep...a cave or an abandoned building might do for shelter.

Atl thinks about when he made a vessel for Kat

Atl: Do you think I can make one?

He says, looking at Nate

Atl: Alex said I had to visualize.. And then it'll happen

Nate: Worth a try...we need some sleep and I need someplace safe to concentrate on this problem.

Atl nods and closes his eyes to focus

After a while of him completely thinking about the interior and what not, a small house appears. He opens his eyes and sees that it worked

Atl :00000 LOOK LOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He point to the clearly visible house due to excitement

Nate: Nice...a little visible though but I think I can handle that...

He thinks for a second before casting a spell to make the house be unable to be seen from the outside and from others besides themselves.

Nate: I think that should do it...if I remembered that spell correctly. Come on, let's get inside so you and Alaric can get some sleep.

Atl nods happily, this improves his mood by a lot, then he walks in.

Nate after putting Alaric to bed starts thinking through everything he's learned in the short amount of time.

Nate: I wonder if my visions could help...it should be safe enough to use it right now.

He lets himself slip into a vision trying to find out what Vanessa, Kat and this Bella person might be up to.

Nora: Nate I recommend you not do that.

She snaps him out of the vision and brings him into the Dreamscape.

Nate: Why?

Nora: because she's too strong if you try and see the future of her or her helpers you would then be her puppet..

Nate: So what can I do?

Nora: prepare...

She wakes Nate up since there is someone around.

Bella: haha a house that's supposed to be invisible, how cute hm..

Bella scrapes the house with her finger and sees magic.

Bella: a god made this...

Nate rubs his eyes a bit and shakes his head to fully wake up.

Nate thinks: Who is she? How can she see this place? Did I do the spell wrong?

Bella the apprentice of Alex the god of mischief and able to see anything that is invisible unless covered by anti magic.

Bella: hmm

She shouts " WHOEVER IS IN HERE I'LL COUNT TO THR-"

She then was attacked by redacted and someone that is with redacted to fight her off and bring her somewhere else.

Atl, who was sleep upstairs was awakened by the noise, but doesnt go downstairs yet, unsure what's happening

Bella: brat...

Redacted: COME ON THEN!

Redacted clashed with bella and both went further away but before that he looked at where bella was looking which was nothing but his heart knows his brother was in there and he thinks "if i die please be good..."

Nate and atl come outside to see that Bella is gone and Nate carries the sleeping alaric.

Nate: We....We need to get out of here! If she knows where we're hiding then we're not safe.

Atl yawns, very sleepy

As the heroes walk they spot the traitor kat.

Nate stiffens a little and hides behind a tree hoping she doesn't see them as he grabs Atl's sleeve to yank him behind the tree and bushes.

Atl: what was that for >-<

Nate: Shhh

Kat meanwhile is with someone interrogating them.

Kat: And where are you from Sera? I've never seen you here before...

She has a cold gaze

Sera: A city.

She seems to be not willing to give much information

Kat: Well for new residents you need to give me some of your blood for my queen since you're here.

Sera simply walks away right after she mentioned sera need to give her blood

Kat: Ok then..i'll take it by force.

She lifts up her fucking giant magic sniper out of her small pocket.

Kat loads an anti magic bullet into the sniper.

Sera turns around to look at her, after feeling a shift in the air

Sera: What are you doing

Kat: Getting your blood? Obviously?

She laughed and shot the bullet.

A hero then sees the bullet coming in and slashes it in half and kicks Kat away.

Sera is confused about this new person.

Sera: Who are you? I had it handled

She was unaware it was a anti magic bullet

Lost: my name is lost uh and you had that handled didn't you see it was a glowing gold that bullet was covered in anti magic. This place is filled with weapons that have that magic in munitions for any gun or sword.

Her facial expression showed a look of intrigue

Sera: Magic isn't even prevalent from where I come from..

She mumbles

Sera: So that fact they developed so far here is amazing..

Lost: I heard stories they tested on someone's blood to obtain that magic..and that it was their own adoptive parents who did that to them.

Sera: Okay

She seemed in the middle of interested and didn't care somehow

Lost: I can tell you're just passing through, are you a traveler?

She nods, not giving much information

Lost: well then quickly leave this isn't a safe place at a-

Then suddenly there's some people who look exactly like them, almost as if they're doppelgangers.

Lost: great...Vanessa the queen made shadows of you and myself. We were spotted by Kat. She makes the shadows and they can copy our abilities as well.

Sera takes a simple kitchen knife out of her bag

The sera shadow comes running towards sera while the lost shadow yeets him out of the forest straight to the castle.

Sera was momentarily distracted by what happened to lost, although she has a barrier around her to absorb a fraction of the damage

Shadow sera: Ah hah i have a barrier around me as well.

The shadow since being sera knows how to bypass the barrier and slashes her left eye with the same knife.

Since shadow sera was being a fucking idiot and spoken, now sera was back on guard and dodged the upcoming attack

Shadow sera: now i think im fucked so im going to report you to my master.

The shadow melts and slithers a way like the blob it is.

Sera goes back to her neutral expression

Sera: That wasn't even a challenge like I thought it was.

She puts the knife away and begins to walk away.

Sera ends up leaving this realm and with the thought "Maybe i'll return another day"

Tubes appear and suck down Nate, Atl and Alaric back to the kingdom.

Atl: YIPPIE! We're back ^^

Nate: Well that was....we're dead.

He saw his father there.

Crisp is standing there glaring.

Atl sees them and then happily waves to the new people

Sam: nate your uh dad wants to talk to you and you new person as well he is mad at you both...

Nate: Hi....dad...You don't need to say that Sam! We can see that he's pissed.

Atl looks at him

Crisp walks over but when he walks you can see the dead souls of the people he's slain. All of them were evil and a red flame is seen in his pupils as the flower eye pupil he has seems like it's burning he approaches Nate and atl.

Atl is noticeably terrified by this and has 10 seconds before his fight or flight instinct comes in

Nate stares at his dad, inside terrified but trying not to show his fear outwardly.

Crisp when in front of them he's calm and he hugs them and cries.

Nate gives a tiny sigh of relief that he's not going to end up dead by his father and hugs him back.

Atl doesn't give a reaction

He whispers: I'm ok dad.

Crisp then looks at atl.

Crisp: thank you for keeping my sons safe....

Atl looks like he's not mentally there, and again, gives no response

Nate: Sorry for worrying you dad...I didn't mean to go to the war place.

Crisp: It's fine, I'm not upset or angry. If I actually was angry then the barriers would break by me just being around also on my way here I found her.

He points to sera who when trying to get out of the realm managed to come here.

Sera still has a blank stare

Spiffy looks at the new people.

Spiffy: welcome new people??

Crisp and Sam turn and see spiffy and they wave.

Spiffy then sees atl and nate.

Spiffy: oh your back nate and who are these people.

Atl: ...

Nate: this is atl im sure youve seen them and these two are my father and sam my fathers frenemy?

Sam: I would prefer to say new father in law.

Crisp almost chokes.

Atl hugs nate's arm

Nate pats Atl's head.

Crisp sees the two and smirks.

Crisp: So Nate is your lover?

Crisp looks at atl and sees he's not giving a response.

Atl continues to hold onto Nate's arm

Nate: Are you alright Atl?

He doesn't answer and instead tries to hide his face on Nate's arm

Nate can mildly feel that he was shaking

Nate: Was something dad ok?

Crisp sees atl shaking and understands and kneels.

Crisp: sorry if that question made you uncomfortable.

Spiffy watches this with a drink and popcorn.

Nate: Maybe we should go somewhere more comfortable and away from so many prying eyes?

He points out the just beginning to form a crowd.

Spiffy: Can I come? And can this lady come too!

He says picking up sera like a trophy.

Sera mildly blushes, but doesnt seem to mind

Nate is unsure if adding more strangers into the mix will help Atl calm down or only keep him freaked out. He gently takes Atl's hand and gives it a tiny half-squeeze.

Nate: What do you say Atl? Is it alright for her to come along or would you feel more comfortable with less strangers?

Atl's silence gives the answer of he wants to be alone

Crisp sees the look in Alt's eye and then goes with Sam to Alex's shop.

Crisp: spiffy and uh mrs? I never got your name.

Sera: My name is Sera

Crisp: well sera want to join us to go to alex's shop then to the movie theater?

She smiles, not having any friends

Sera: Yes, of course ^^

She tries not to show to emotion but it's clearly failing

Nate: Do you want to go home and rest for a bit?

He's asking Atl.

Atl nods

Nate: Then let's go home! We can watch a movie at home until you calm down some.

Crisp and them go to the movie theater to watch a movie to leave them two alone.

Nate leads Atl back to the home and puts on a movie for them.

Atl tightly hugs a pillow

Alaric is asleep in his room.

After the movie crisp brought sera and spiffy to his home and he sees atl and nate snuggled up and asleep.

Sera sees this as well

Sera: Thats cute

Spiffy: this isn't a romance story is it?

Crisp laughs.

Crisp: spiffy we don't know what atl or nate wants so we can wait.

Spiffy: I just remembered I don't have a home..

Crisp: well you two can use the upstairs rooms we have seven up there.

Sera wonders if she should stay here for the time being

Sera: Okay

She walks upstairs, her steps barely hearable.

Crisp: Alright well how about you spiffy?

Spiffy: I'll head up to.

He heads up and goes to his room and gets some rest.

Crisp picks up atl and nate and puts them both in separate rooms he pats both of their heads gently and tucks them in with a blanket and he heads to the living room and has to leave so he makes some food and stored it in the fridge and left a note "there's food in the fridge for all of you enjoy i have to get going all of you please be safe" he leaves.

The next morning Nate and atl were the first to wake up but see spiffy looking at a deck of cards he found.

Spiffy: Nate I found these cards in your fathers office sorry for exploring but it seems like cards of us..with our traits and personalities and abilities and a card here named krystal and bottom two names correlated to that person it says here Krystal makes the comics and stories about your guys lives from Alex's shop as well as she has a drawing skill as a ability.

Nate takes the cards from Spiffy and looks at them.

Nate: We shouldn't be looking at these...but since you already looked at them, it can't hurt if I check to make sure they're not damaged right?

He's coming up with a reason for himself to get out of trouble for looking at his father's stuff.

Spiffy: Can I keep my card?

The cards start to glow and vanish and wordings appear on the table.

"These don't belong to any of you, why do you have them?"

But the text seems ancient and spiffy is a little scared by the sudden message.

Spiffy: Nate do you recognize this writing?

Nate thinks for a few seconds weighing the pros and cons of lying and decides to speak truthfully.

Nate: Spiffy didn't know they weren't supposed to be looked at so we were going to return them after looking at them.

The words change "good glad you told me tell crisp hi for me sincerely Mara oh and Nate~ Bella told me everything about you and others THE SOCIETY well bring your magic and power away."

The texts vanished.

Spiffy: Bella? Who's that wait isn't that the person where the kingdom went into danger?

Nate doesn't like the sound of any of this.

Nate: I need to get in contact with dad...

Nate thinks: Take my magic and power away? How can you take something like that away? Maybe with anti-magic? But only dad has that right? So how else can you take away someone's magic? And what power? I'm smart but that's not a power...so what power do I hold that's not magic?

Spiffy: also I found this book as well from your dads room.

It shows a book on "the magic of the soul and power of it."

Spiffy then turns to the bookmarked page and it reads.

"The soul is where the magic of yourself comes from. In some way we have magic within us as being our ability but there is a way to make it not be connected to your magic, something different, something that is connected to your life essence. Your soul..magic is one thing we all have doesn't matter if it's full on magic or a power or just being creative or smart we all have magic but even people with no magic could use soul magic it's just you have to believe in something that soul magic isn't even seemed as magic yet anti magic works against it as well as against immunity to magic."

Spiffy: anti magic? What's that and how does it work against immunity to magic?

Nate: I'm not sure but how do you go against someone's soul? Isn't that the same thing as battling yourself?

The book then has something highlighted "soul magic isn't really magic yet powered by your desire or what you wish to achieve even if it is a small thing. Magic is different to the magic of a soul."

Spiffy: why is that marked Nate does your dad have soul magic?

Nate: You assume I know a lot about my dad...how many kids do you know that actually knows everything about their parents? I don't even know everything about my mom and she's connected to me.

Nate thinks: How does someone take away your soul? What does all this mean? What does dad know that he doesn't share?

Spiffy closes the book and puts it back where he found it.

Spiffy: atl what do you think of all this? Weird right?

Spiffy says while his magic glowing blue shield and sword appear out of thin air.

Atl was eating a cookie he found in his pocket

Atl: ummmm.

Spiffy: right leaves me and you speechless.

Spiffy's text box appears above his head due to it being a trait of his he doesn't know why just born with it says "there must be a way to understand all of this."

Nate noticed he didn't say anything yet the text box says otherwise.

Nate: Your uh thoughts are showing.

Spiffy looks at Nate then grabs the box above him and sees it did say what he thought and the box disappears.

Spiffy: I hate when that happens..

Nate: Does it happen often?

Spiffy: mostly when I'm really focused on an idea or something that interests me like this book's knowledge also it says that the color of the soul means your power scale.

Nate: We also probably shouldn't be reading it.

Spiffy: I mean it's interesting plus one of those cards said "the first member of the society Mara" . Do you know anyone by that name?

Nate: Not that I know of.

Nate thinks for a bit before shaking his head.

Nate: Nope. The name doesn't sound familiar at all and if we ask dad...he'll know we looked at things we shouldn't have looked at.

Spiffy: really odd all of this going on..

During that time they end up enjoying some time together and then see on the realm news that the war is going bad and that the two hooded figures have gotten spotted using magic weapons.

Spiffy: whoa..

Nate: That's not good...

Alaric: It can't be that bad..

Spiffy: ah well if it isn't that bad thats ok im going to quickly splash my face.

He went to the bathroom once there and splashed his face but when he looked up into the mirror the reflection was someone else. It looked like him but as a female.

The woman in the mirror tilted her head at spiffy and said "despite everything it's still you" and then she vanished back to the normal reflection seeing this spiffy ran out.

Spiffy: Well that was weird..that's the weirdest thing that's happened today...

Nate: What is?

He's sitting next to Atl on the couch.

Spiffy: N-nothing don't worry about i-..

Spiffy starts to see other versions of him like there judging him one is blind another a female and another a god and another is just a monster shapeshifting a human he then thinks "is what i'm seeing real? Why does that one have a hammer that says ban and that one has a knife??" then suddenly vanished but they all mouthed the words "despite it all it's still you"

Nate: Spiffy? Are you alright?

Spiffy: d-did you guys see that???

Alaric: You mean the other people that were in here that looked like you yes yes we did..

Nate: Not that unusual for home. Think there was something about other us and something like that. Kind of drowned out that dream to be honest...or was it a vision?

Spiffy: So that's normal??

Nate shrugs, not sure if it was normal or just something he's seen too much in his visions or dreams.

Nate: Not sure...it could just be that I've met them too many times in my dreams and visions that it feels normal to me or it could be actually normal.

Suddenly someone falls through the roof of the home and slams face first to the floor of the room. Luckily nothing broke due to the magic of the place the man came in with a cloak the inside being magenta with the outside of the cloak being black and the rims of the cloak are orange the same as the collar but his skin tone is a mix of tan and light.

Alaric: Oh great , another one...first Bella makes a move to attack the kingdom then these new people arrive. What will happen now?

The whole kingdom starts to shake but it stops after Kaz notices his surroundings.

Nate: You really had to talk, didn't you? Also what's your name, the person who fell into our room?

Spiffy: oh him this i-

Kaz: is a Kaz moment.

But for a split second multiple visions of other Kazes appear around the original Kaz.

All seem different with colored eyes, assets and all carrying their own weapons all different all strong but they suddenly disappear.

Alaric: I guess realities are really overlapping....

Kaz: What do you mean who the hell are all of you and oh hi spiffy.

Spiffy has a text box that reads "spiffy nods and waves happily to see another friend"

Kaz: Thoughts are still being shared?

Spiffy's text box changes "Yeah sadly" the box disappears.

Kaz: oh alright got it.

Alaric shapeshifts to an older version of him to also raise his intelligence.

Alaric: So we have enemies to fight but thing is for some reason with these people appearing the whole kingdom went to shit so we have them to blame! MATTER A FACT THEY MIGHT ALSO BE VILLAINS SO WHY DON'T WE TAKE THERE SOUL OR MAKE THEM A PUPPET.

Kaz: EXCUSE ME WE JUST ARRIVED HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON?

Spiffy thinks "he's blaming it on me? I've only been here for a little while. This guy isn't nice.."

Spiffy's text box appears in front of him and reveals what he truly is thinking "this guy is an asshole" and Alaric reads it and when Kaz sees what it read he laughs silently to himself.

Alaric: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!

Alaric summons his strings to attach to spiffy but spiffy dashes back and pulls out his sword and slashes the strings, actually managing to bend his sword until its sword has a burst of magic given to the sword to fix itself.

Spiffy: Why are you attacking me AND WHY DID MY SWORD HEAL??!

Alaric even knowing this place heals you it still kinda hurts him, his strings being cut.

Kaz seeing this gets worried so he quickly backs up and pulls out a card.

Alaric laughs thinking "He brought out a card, what's that going to do?" everyone else seeing this besides spiffy are confused why this person brought out a card.

Alaric is ready to use another string once it starts to slither its way to hit target but see the card Alaric finds this funny so he aims for the cards but once it makes contact with the card the string gets forced into it the card glows now and shows the symbol of a string.

Spiffy: whoa cool it's still cool after all the times you've used it.

Everyone else is shocked but Alaric looks upset.

Alaric: i-i wasn't trying to hurt you can i have my string back please im sorry....

Kaz: Why should I give it back to you? What does it do, what importance does it have, is it just a string?

Alaric is nervous and tries to stay calm.

Alaric: Just please give it back..I won't try it again.

Kaz: What can you do if I don't?

Alaric gives in.

Alaric breathes in and then he has his true form shown having two extra arms and strings shown being ready to use.

Alaric: me? I'm just a puppeteer.

Kaz turns to spiffy.

Kaz: Is this guy cool?

Spiffy's text box appeared " spiffy shrugged with the knowledge that he doesn't know if he is or isn't but just knows that nate is a sibling to this guy and that nate treated him very well."

Kaz turns back to Alaric and asks "why should I trust you?"

Alaric: because if i wanted to hurt you i would have not used those strings i would have instead used the other ones..

Kaz understands and shakes the card and the string is free it slithers back to alaric and vanishes once entering his body.

Alaric: Thank you... and I'm sorry it's just been a rough time with everything going on..my name is Alaric and to answer your question my strings can control objects or people and even animals..

Nate who had been watching all this with interest whistles suddenly.

Nate: Well that was epic. How do your cards work? Can they store anything or just certain things? Also sorry for my brother. We've had a....trying time lately but he still shouldn't have attacked without hearing first.

Kaz: My cards work as they can seal abilities and then I just show the card to someone I wish to be attacked, then the cards of that person's ability we'll be used against them.

Alaric and the others are shocked but then they all feel a cold breeze but nothing should be causing this shift in temperature but a man walks into the living room with a black coat and his eyes glimmering purple and gold no one sees him or his presence neither would they be able to hear him the man snaps his fingers everything stops moving reality stops he smirks underneath his black mask and his red cloak and the man speaks in deep penetrating voice.

"reality...this story others stories the real reality is out there to be visited worlds linking and realities combining..easy to manipulate..easy to shift..as well as all of the lives of the people across realms and there realties easy to manipulate."

As he said this whole room changes so do the people until turning back to their original selves and not their counterparts.

" Bella...has control of the tubes to leave and return..soon she'll be able to infiltrate fully...her goal wanting to remove all magic from existence of all realities the doors to travel realities shattered by her doing...those realities are dead only the original bodies remain..if learned can be able to use the knowledge or the power of their counterparts..for now I will stay hidden until the creation of the society for now everyone in this reality may you enjoy your freedom oh...and readers be prepared to see my doings..oh and this place being a place of peace and tranquility I'm going to show you how even places like these can become a danger but for now believe what you want but just know reality can be shattered..and these characters or people of this safe space well as well perish...and a new realm will come containing what I need only one we'll make it out alive~ place known as the mystical realm.."

The man laughed and disappeared once he did everything went back to normal or so they thought.

Alaric: d-did you guys feel that chilling breeze...

Nate: Nope. What breeze?

He doesn't want to admit to the breeze since it worries him deeply.

Spiffy: it was really cold just now..but it's probably something causing air like the air conditioning!

Kaz: That's a fair reason it is kinda warm down here. Hey, does it even get cold here?

Alaric: n-not really it's always a medium weather here not too hot or too cold.

Nate: It'd be nice to see snow...I've read about that and it's supposed to be fun to play with.

Alaric: We did s-see snow once Nate and played in it when me and you went to the kindness kingdom to explore before the war happened.

Nate: Yeah but I don't remember it...

Spiffy: wait so Nate your crisps son from what I heard from rumors around here but how? People said he doesn't date anyone.. How is he your biological father?

Alaric: Oh, he made Nate experiment! He did mention to Nate that he wanted to make two others. I hope it'll be sisters, maybe named Zara and Luna if they're sisters! Those names sound cool!!

Kaz: Wow, for a little boy he's very kind and curious!

Nate flushes a bit.

Nate: I'm his son and that's all that matters in the end. Sister's sound so annoying. I mean look at Yella and Maddie.

Whether he's joking or not is hard to tell.

Kaz: I was calling this boy very kind and curious! But you are very kind!

He was talking about Alaric but felt bad for making think he was talking about him.

Alaric: war?

Kaz: ok??

Alaric: wait...something doesn't feel right...

A news shows up "The war is over and turns out it was only a 2 day war. We are currently all going back to the underneath kingdom. By 2 days I mean in cherish kingdom time Sam and Crisp have only been in that kingdom for two days not months...though it felt like it.."

The news ends.

Alaric: What but that doesn't seem right?!

Nate: Maybe someone's messing with time? Or maybe it just felt that way due to being in a war? Eitherway this means that Redacted will be coming home right?

The man snaps his fingers and stops time in the underneath kingdom again, not able to be seen walks around Nate.

"You are the counterpart to my son, always curious and smart...but no I messed with the time of this kingdom and the kindness kingdom. This whole time months never passed. Today is the second day of their arrival..the official day but yes you could say I'm messing with time but you all wouldn't have noticed...my daughter Nat lives inside your body now that all realities were combined to the main one, that being this one...I don't have a counterpart so I stay free...alive and not combined. I will bring back my daughter even if it means her having full control of your body...for now goodbye."

He vanished and everyone moves again but he might return.

Nate shivers, feeling that sort of chilly feeling like when you feel like someone is watching you.

Nate: Something strange might be happening or we could just be being stupid. Come on, let's go find Redacted!

Alaric and Nate go and look for their older brother.

Nate looks around trying to find Redacted.

Nate: Where could he be?

Redacted is behind Nate and hugs him.

Alaric: found him!

Redacted let's Nate go.

Redacted: I'm home with my siblings...it felt like a long war..

Yella: But we're all safe!

Maddie: good saying little sister well not all...just a few me and yella and Rex as well as redacted made it out oh and ...lost was it oh sorry it's lostina now?

Lostina: yeah...what is this place?

She says having one eye and seems tired.

Nate looks at her before looking away a little sad that Lost is gone before smiling at Redacted.

Alaric: Big brother tell her!

He says holding Nate's shirt and also gives lostina a flower crown.

Alaric: for you pretty lady.

Lostina smiles gently and puts it on.

Lostina: h-how does it look and may i know where i am?

Alaric: Just be patient with big brother. He's sometimes slow and it looks great.

Nate: Are you calling me slow? It's supposed to be Grace's job not mine...Welcome to the underneath kingdom, the most peaceful realm in all the...universe of realms?

He's a little confused about what the groups of realms would be called.

Lostina: oh so this place is between reality and the realms but what is realms?

Alaric: just other worlds!

Nate: Yep! Just other worlds...so for instance a medieval time, modern heroes and monsters are just three of the realms we have access to although they're called, Rebellion, VOTLS, and MA.

Lostina: interesting!

Grace appears.

Grace: oh lostina welcome or should I say the god of power?

Lostina is shocked.

Lostina: p-power I-i don't know what you mean!

Yella and Maddie and Rex looks at Grace weird.

Yella: she can't be a god she barely was able to fight in the war?

Grace: she lost her full power due to how many people have common powers of fire and others.

Maddie: even if that was true lostina here can't fight good so how?

Lostina: y-yeah just a weak human..

Rex: I wouldn't say you're weak anyways I have to find Sakura.

Yella: HAH if she isn't dating anyone else I'll be surprised!

Rex leaves to go find his crush.

Grace: Anyways we all have jobs here lostina would you want to be a realm mailer?

Lostina: w-what's that?

Grace: oh it's something crisp told me we should do that we should be able to mail things to other people of other realms!

Redacted: Dad said that?

Alaric: he never talked about that...

Grace: because you haven't seen your father in some time that's why.

Nate: We have jobs?

He's looking at her weirdly.

Nate: Since when did we get jobs?

Grace: uhm you have a clothing shop yella and maddie already had jobs before going to the war maddie being the kingdoms therapist and amazing doctor and yella training people for combat if needed just like your father does but he focus more on his cafe and alaric well he's too young to work but he helps Alex in his shop and rex he's still a spy so that's his job.

Lostina: w-wow this place seems busy.

Meanwhile on a hill near the city of VOTLS is a home the man walks to the door of the home and knocks hoping the reporter named Krystal answers.

"I wonder if the famous writer of the realms news would open the door. I need a conversation with her. I hope she answers the door."

The door opened slowly, showing a ghost-sheep person half asleep. "Hello?"

"Hello you are a news reporter as well as the decider of the realms you brought anything you write in your comics of the news of the people's lives here it happens so I have a question would it be ok if I do a bit of changes that you can't control~ I'm asking permission since these realms you gave them life the ones you made."

"What do you mean by that?" She asked carefully, both worried and curious.

"We'll I may be able to change things of said realms and of your home here being VOTLS and your extra homes being MA and rebellion hidden away...now then tell me may I mess with said worlds? And uh the residents besides you of course"

"You're going to need to be a little more specific than that. What kind of things?"

The reporter asks the man.

He laughs maniacally and smirks under his mask.

"Let's just say worse than the eye bitch and Callahan. I know who they are and what they've done~."

The reporter crossed her arms, leaning against the doorframe as she examined the spooky peep. "And what if I want to take back control?"

He smirks and laughs.

"I'm just asking for permission to see if I could do my deeds...that's it.""

"Okay then, Mr. Mysterious. Under the condition of no deaths ".

The man laughs.

"No deaths huh? Why is that~ don't like anyone being brutally hurt or worse erased~ or sure maybe I can't kill but I can still paralyze my targets~ and sure VOTLS and rebellion and as well as monster apartment~ are stories you made~ and that this cabin on this hill is how your in your stories~ that you've made I know all about the 4th walls and the true reality that's why I'm here to ask you permission to change~ things..~ I know I can't affect you since your not from here your from out there...the real world this is just a story we're all characters puppets to all of you~ our "creators" but I can affect this place as much as I want if you give me the permission to~ but don't be upset if I changed to much~."

The man says with a disgusting tone.

"I'm sure if you paralyze or maim too much, you'll run out of suffering to be enjoyable" she shrugged. "Tho I should add, no killing or making it so the person can no longer function. Losing an arm, alright. Losing all four limbs, not so much. Understand?"

The man laughs.

"You said only no killing don't change your rules~"

"I have more power than you right now, as you said, you can't do anything to me. I can change whichever rule I please"

He sighs and laughs.

"Fair enough I'll just hurt them, this has been a pleasant conversation Mrs Krystal.."

He waits for her to close her home door and he walks and becomes invisible not to be seen or heard he uses his magic and a white string shows.

"I'll show how easy reality can break"

He snaps the string and a giant crack in the sky shows like the sky is breaking and the crack is massive and is in all realms due to the same reality.

"...they'll all see this reality can be changed and .I won't keep said promise I won't kill them...but I'll make them suffer."

He touches a flower and the flower starts to glitch and shift different colors of different plants. The plant stays glitched and he vanishes to head to another realm known as mythical realm once he arrived goes onto a mountain with a house and knocks.

"Mrs artist and color artist, I've come to talk. I hope it's the right house."

Tomie opens the door and eyes him.

Tomie: My name is Tomie. What do you want?

"Ah yes the creator of two stories but helps color the worlds~ your the one who brought the color to some stories anyways to my question May change the reality of those stories of yours~"

Tomie: .....No

Slams the door in his face.

He is shocked but nods and left before that tries to burn the house down but didn't work so he left to the realm that he wanted to target.
