Please forgive me for such a short first chapter. This is pretty much just the introduction to the story, but I promise that future chapters will be much longer! Enjoy the First chapter of Game
Dimention: Final Fantasy Explorers With a Twist, I worked really hard on it.
Beta: Hi ppl, this is Sasha (yes I told her to use my name unlike everyone else), and as my friend up there ^ forgot to mention, this is a Self-insert fic so yeah…
(P.S. if you find any mistakes blame me cause I betaed it :P)
(P.S.S. Also all drawing credit goes to me, and all designs go to Nyanyo)
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!", the alarm went off at 7:00 on the dot. The signal of a new school days beginning."Ugh...STUPID ALARM!" I said angrily really not awake yet. "*Sigh* Welp! I guess it's time to wake up." As I said this I got down from my bunk bed, combing my hand through my pixied brown hair. After taking in a deep breath I started my daily ritual of breakfast, teeth, wash face, get changed, pack up my bag, and get going to school. "Mom, what day is it." I asked her, even though I already knew it was Monday.
"You already know what day it is, you just don't want it to be monday Aracely." My mother says this with a stale expression not taking her eyes off the road for any reason other than checking her Email and text messages on rare occasions.
"Ugh..." Seeing that I wasn't to excited for monday, she said the worst possible thing in the worst possible time.
"Aracely, it's really not that big of a deal you only got rejected by him, suck it up." She was referring to the last school dance when I had gotten stood up by this guy I liked. I was surprised by what she said, but somewhere deep inside me I expected her to say something like that. The car comes to a stop we finally arrived at school, I left the car without saying good bye. She can be sooooo cold sometimes! I felt like saying it aloud but I decided not to. Then I see my friend Shelbie.

"Hey Shelbs!" I was happy to see her, it was an excuse to get what my mom said off my mind. "Oh, hey Aracely! How was your morning?" She ask with a timid smile and a happy expression. "Not bad at all, what about you?" Lying through my teeth about my days start I ask about hers. "Hmm...So so I guess, it been pretty normal." every day was pretty much normal, not much really happens often, well other than Miranda's weekly drama. "So, are you feeling ok? Last week didn't really end on a happy note for you." Shelbs is always thinking about others so I expected her to ask at one point. "Y-ya, I'm fine. It was just a stupid boy! No big deal." Shelbs opened her mouth to protest, clearly seeing I wasn't telling the truth, but she backed off not wanting to pressure me to talk about it. "*Sigh* Well if you say so. Class should be sta-", before she could finish her thought the bell rang, we both have the same first period class together so we walk to class side by side. "Now, everyone take your seats class is about to begin." The teacher announced as Shelbs got out her book even before the tardy bell could even ring, she's one of the most organized person I know. I wonder how much longer until second period? Like normal I started to get lost in my own world.

*Five periods and a brunch later*
"Ring! Ring!" YES! The sound of heaven itself! P.E. is great but today was feeling longer than I wanted it to be, I quickly got dressed into my normal clothes and went straight to the library where my friends and I always meet up. On the couch, I see my best friend, who almost always gets to the library first. "Hey Sasha!" I've known Sasha since I was in kindergarten, She's in a grade older than all of our other friends because I got held back in the first grade. I couldn't have gotten a better best friend if I got to customize her.

"Oh, hey Nyanyo." Sasha gave me that nickname long ago and it's stuck around to this day. She's sort of lazy so she normally doesn't sound to enthusiastic, unless you give her lots of sugar. "Sit." She said it more as a command then an invitation. "I'm sitting, I'm sitting just let me put down my bag." Before I even had the chance to put my bag on the ground someone came up behind me and hugged me. "What the!?" I turn my head to see who was hugging my waist, it was none other than the drama queen herself, Miranda. "Hey- ugh! Miranda let go!" I struggle against her grip and she eventually lets go. "Aww! Come on I was just giving my good friend a huge. Is there a rule against hugs?" She ask with a sweet but mostly sinister smile.
*Pic of Miranda*
Miranda opens her mouth to say something else, but before she got the chance to say another word Shelbie and Tasha walked in. "Hi! Hows everyone doing this fine day!" Shelbs as enthusiastic as always, I look over at Tasha who was standing next to shelbs, she just waved at us and sat down.
*Pic of Tasha*
After we all settled down into our sets there was a few seconds of silence before Miranda started the conversation. "Soooooo, anything interesting happening with anyone?" She often asks this question, especially on extremely normal days. "No, nothing really." Tasha hasn't been in the greatest moods lately, and hasn't been a real big talker lately but no one bring up the question. "Nope! Just a perfectly normal, beautiful day!" Shelbs is always optimistic so her answer was expected. "Normal, for my standards at least. Someone in my class had to ask what my name was again, and the sad thing is they asked me the same question yesterday!" We all let out a laugh from Sasha's comment, even Sasha.
"And last ,but not least, Aracely! How has your day been?" Everyone looked at me, and I wondered if they were thinking about last Friday. "*Sigh* Not bad I gue-", *CRASH* there was a big crash coming from outside, it made the building shake. "W-what in the world was that?!" Shaking from head to toe I looked around to see that Tasha and Shelbie went under the table, Miranda was using me as a human meat shield, and Sasha had placed her hands on the back of her neck. "I don't know but it sounded like it was coming from the P.E. field." Tasha got out of her hiding spot from under the table and signaled all of us to follow her. We raced down to the field after we convinced Miranda that it was safe to go back out side. "Hey, Aracely what do you think that crash was?" Shelbs asked me while we were running down the hill, she was almost out of breath. It took me a few seconds to think of a responce, " I really don't know, all we can do is check it out and to see if anyone is hurt." She wasn't quite sure about my answer but decided It was best to just go with it. When we got down there though we were all shocked, it was something we had never really seen before, there in the center of the field was a huge hole that was emanating some type of red gas. "No, no, no, and NO! I'm not going down there! We should go back and get a teacher." Miranda squealed. We all started to turn back agreeing it probably wasn't safe to go near it, but before we could even move a foot five red smoky tentacle grabbed us, pulling us straight towards the hole in the field. We were pulled far down, and the scenery of the pit keeped getting creepier and creepier. When we finally landed we were surrounded by lava, and each of us had our own platform. "It looks like some kinda chamber, like the throne rooms in those medieval palaces." Sasha says taking in her surroundings, we were all stunned for a few minutes, but settled down after a bit, at least almost after all Miranda was throwing a fit. "WERE IN THE WORLD ARE WE!? DID I DO SOMETHING BAD!? I PROMISE TO BE GOOD! PLEASE LET ME GO!" I tuned her out and after a while longer she calmed down too. "Welcome mortals." and suddenly a demon like thing appeared, "I am the god of Chaos, I rule over all misfortune, greed, desires, and pain. I rule this realm that is under you mortal's feet." After a few seconds I asked him a question. "W-what do you want with us?" Barley getting the words out of my mouth I waited for a response with everyone else. He looks at me then at the others, "I will explain my reasons right now," he clears his throat and continuous, "I have chosen the five of you to be my paladins, I have made a wager with the god of harmony. We shall send five paladins from earth to a different realm for one year and a half. Than these paladins will face off, the winning paladins can ask for whatever they want, and the god they represent will be able to choose something as well." He stops for a second and Miranda asks. "Why should we represent you? You're the god of Chaos, so that means you the bad guy and I don't want to represent the bad guy." she finishes her thought and the god of Chaos turned his head to look at her. Looking more frightened than ever she takes a few steps back.
"Do not worry, I won't hurt you," he says calmly then continues,"If my paladins win I plan on keeping the order of the world the same, but Harmony wants to get rid of everything bad in the world. Making it a world of total peace, but this will disrupt the order of the universe. For there to be balance there has to be the same amount of good as bad for the world to function, if there is no Chaos the universe will collapse in on itself. For this reason you must win. I already have all your armor selected. All you need to do is accept this mission for the sake of the universe itself." Everyone looked around at each other, Chaos then said, "You all my have ten minutes to consider among your selves." Five paths opened up leading to a center island, we all gathered there and started discussing what we should do.
*Pic of all of us in the center*
"So..what do you guys think we should do?" Sasha asked us all. What should I do...I don't know if I'm ready to take on this much responsibility...He's literally putting the weight of the universe on our shoulders. The silence is broken when Shelbie speaks up. "I-i'm going to do it!" When Shelbs says this we were all surprised. Wait! What! I thought to myself not expecting Shelbs to be the first to accept this kinda mission. "W-well if Shelby's doing it I-i'm doing it to!" Miranda said aloud with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I'm doing it too!" Tasha announced so that everyone could hear it. "If everyone else is doing it, I might as well." Sasha says nonchalantly. Everyone's eyes were on me waiting for me to make a decision. I nod my head in response
"Do you have a decision?" He ask the question.
"We accept!" We all say together, the decision that would change our lives forever.
