Hello, and welcome to my second episode of the Dimension Disaster.

Remember the speaking order, for I will not repeat this in other chapters

" Talking"

Thinking

" Dragon/ Demon Speaking"

Megaville had always been a happy place. The skyscrapers and other buildings were never destroyed by some invading force that could harm the world entirely. All of the citizens walked the earth peacefully, never worrying about anything outside their lives.

That is, until right about... now.

The air above a field outside the city limits was ripped apart by an unknown force and a swirl of black white appeared with the tear. A boy was thrown out of it in a hurry.

The boy had dirty blonde hair and had slightly tanned skin. He wore a white hoody, blue jeans, and a black shirt with a red pair of shoes that had black straps on the heel of it and in the middle of the shoe. Black shoe-laced stretched over the strap.

He groaned as he lifted his head and looked around, showing his dark brown eyes. Where am I and why does my body hurt so much?

A thumping rang through his head and heard someone, though no one was around. " I would believe that would be the effects of the transport. Don't worry; it should fade in a little while."

The boy groaned and though, Gabriel, do me a solid and don't talk for a while. I don't think my head will be able to contain the newest information.

The voice in his head, now known as Gabriel, sighed. " Very well. You should walk around though. You'll feel better, if slightly, if you do so."

The boy went against the will of his bones and stood. He checked over the field once more to view his surroundings. The field was green with grass while some yellow dandelions sprout every few feet from the ground.

The boy turned his head when he saw a beam of light at the corner of his eyes. He gaped at the look and said, " Woah."

Gleaming buildings reached the sky while only very little ones was hidden, though still giving of a sense of brilliant radiance. A beach sat off to the right that gave off a low wind, which rippled through the field. A forest was to the left; dark trees stood there that was nearly as tall as the buildings next to them. Small streets went out of the city to enter the forest or glide next to the beach. Several other small roads zigzagged through the vast town.

Another voice spoke through his mind. " Woah indeed."

Black, I thought I asked if you guys would keep your mouths closed for a moment, The boy said

Black snorted within his mind. " You asked Gabriel to stay quiet, not me nor Lightning."

The boy groaned once more. Well, I'm telling you now. And give the warning to Lightning as well.

" Very well."

The boy returned his sights to the town and began walking towards. No sense standing around in a field with nothing to do. He took the road that came from the forest, seeing as it was closest.

When he entered the city, he gazed around the area. There wasn't much he didn't see from his other travel, but there was always something that could draw people in.

They also have the weirdest things. For example, the boy had just walked past a place known as Nasty Burger. He laughed at the name. " If they wanted to draw people in, they should have tried a different name than that."

The boy continued to walk down the street. The civilians didn't seem to notice him, though some gave a look of curiosity and disgust, mostly to his unsanitary appearance.

He gave himself a sniff and recoiled. Yep. Going to need to shower soon.

Gabriel spoke from his head. " May I tell you something?"

The boy's head wasn't thumping as bad as before, so he let the voice speak. Go on.

" First is that the money from the Xiaolin Showdown dimension might not useful here. Second... I removed the money you had and the ability. Meaning you'll have to either grab a job or find someone to support you until you leave or get your own stuff."

The boy's head-ache returned. Gee thanks. Next time, just get rid of my powers, why don't cha?

" You're lucky I didn't. I was really thinking about it." Phillip groaned at this. He continued down the street and noticed a school to his left.

Megaville Elementary School.

The boy looked at it. Glad I don't have to go through that again.

" Oh right," Gabriel said. " I forgot to mention that I also drop your age to 11. This should allow you to blend in and meet the heroes here."

The boy stopped next to tree in the school's grounds and slammed his head into it. He just had to jinx it, didn't he. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, which was flat now. He use to be something like a billionaire at his last dimension, but now he was flat broke.

Maybe I could get a job at that Nasty Burger place. He made a 180 and walked back down the way he came.

He would have gotten away from the school had a student with a blue pants and a white shirt. His blue coat flapped behind him as he appeared in front of him. A piece of black hair stuck out like a scythe and nearly poked the brunette's eye out as the other boy started placing several electrodes onto his head. The glasses that blocked the boys eyes appeared bendable as the bended when boy rose an eyebrow at the device in his hands. The rest of the raven's hair was slicked back at least.

" Um, what are you doing?" the brunette asked the raven.

" You must tell me all about yourself! I have never seen a child at my age outside of school at this hour. You could be an alien in disguise!" The raven told him while staring the device in his hand that led to the plugs on his heads.

The raven would have probably started asking him questions of his personal life when a girl came up to the raven and began straggling him. " Dib, where are the batteries?" The freaky thing was that the girl was very calm when saying this.

The boy scanned over the girl while pulling off the electrodes. The girl had purple hair that only reached the back of her head and fair skin. She wore a black shirt with a white undershirt Her shirt acted like a skirt and her legs were covered with pantyhose. Her footwear was black boots with a golden zipper going to ankle.

The now known Dib reached into his pocket and pulled out two AA batteries. The girl dropped Dib and took the flying batteries. She pulled out a portable game station and pushed the batteries into place. A light flickered and the station turned on.

The boy reached down and picked up Dib. " You okay?"

Dib coughed a bit and said, " I believe so." Once on his feet, Dib added, " You might be one of the nicer extraterrestrial. However, I must begin my analyze once more." Dib held up the device in a menacingly.

The boy took a step back, but there was no need; the girl took Dib by the ear and pulled him back into the school grounds. Dib complained but followed unwillingly at the force. The boy shook his head and began walking again.

That is, if another boy didn't come out of nowhere once more and held out his hand. " Sorry for my classmate's behavior. It was most unnecessary at this time."

The boy didn't returned the hand shake, but looked over the new addition.

The new boy had red, curly hair with some spikes in the back. He wore semi-circular glasses and white lab coat. His hands were covered with purple gloves while his feet had black boots. To finish his looks, he had on some dark blue jeans.

The boy finally returned his attention to the extended hand and shook. " It's nothing serious. I had some weirder experiences than that one."

The red-head nodded his head and retracted his hand and said, " Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dexter-Boy Genius."

" Phillip Thomas Stuyvesant. It's a pleasure." Phillip said.

" It's interesting for a youth to be standing outside the school limits without a supervisor. Where would your parents be at this moment."

Phillip want with a small lie. " They aren't here exactly." He didn't add too much sadness to it. Sure he did miss his family, but he was needed here for something.

Dexter didn't seem to want to push. " I see." He placed a hand on Phillip's shoulder and said one last thing. " I understand the feeling. Stay strong though your years." Dexter then walked back to the school. Phillip took one more step.

Dib popped back into view. " Hello again!" The boy didn't get any farther as Phillip sucker punched him and the girl grabbed by the ear all at the same time.

The girl must have felt Dib being almost pulled out of her hand as she looked back to see Dib trying to take flight in her grasp. It lasted a second before Dib dropped back to the Earth.

The girl looked at Phillip, grunted, and dragged Dib back to the school.

Phillip sighed. Why are these kids trying to jump me?

Gabriel appeared once more in his mind. " Unknown. Try getting into the school. That's the place with most of the heroes in this world."

First off, I will need money to gain access to the school, seeing as a school system needs money to work properly. Second, I'm not going through another couple of years of that hell just to find some idiots with no future.

" You just saw two of them walking away. And I'll help you get into the school."

Phillip groaned for umpteenth time that day. Wonderful. I have to rely on some floating head to get me something I don't even want. Perfectly wonderful.

" Be calm. There are other ways of entering there than just flying around and scaring people; though that is a fun pastime."

Suddenly, a bell rang from the school and Phillip watched as the children ran/walked back to the entrance. A teacher stood waiting to great them.

The teacher wore a blue skirt that reached close to her knees and an orange short-sleeved shirt with a white collar and cuffs. She had unnatural pink hair that was held back with a red band. She wore some red high heels.

Once everyone was inside, the teacher looked around for any stray children. Her eyes landed on him and Phillip continued to walk away, trying to avoid anymore unnecessary contact.

Phillip soon found himself next to the Nasty Burger once more and took a step in. Several people were sitting around eating anything that passed in front of them as long as it was food. A raven with blue eyes was one of the few that wasn't acting like a starving animal, along with his two friends.

Phillip looked around the place for an application that was hopefully just lying in a bin or on a table or something, but found none.

" You gonna order or what?" Phillip turned to the voice and found a orange-haired teen that wearing a white fez and blue apron over a white button-up shirt staring at him. " Well?"

Phillip walked up to the counter. " Actually, I was hoping to fill out an application of some kind." He heard the activity around him stop suddenly, but didn't get them any satisfaction by looking back.

The carrot top slipped a tooth pick into his mouth and said, " You're gonna have to take it up with the boss. Just walked down that hallway and you'll see his office." He pointed to the hall next to the counter. " Just a warning, the guy isn't in a fairly good mood today."

Phillip grinned. " Don't worry. I'm not in one myself. I'm sure we'll find some common ground." With that, Phillip walked casually down the hall.

There was a big door right next to the bathrooms. Big as in tall enough to be a wall and wide enough to fit someone half the size of the moon.

Phillip knocked on the door, heard a gruff, " Come in." and opened the door.

The lightning was bad, so looking the boss directly was a hard quest. However, the gleaming yellow eyes pierced the darkness and into Phillip's own brown eyes. They didn't get to the soul though. The boss's body his both sides of the walls and would have hit the ceiling too if he wasn't sitting in his thick chair.

" Hello sir. I'm here for an application."

The boss spoke with a gravel, bass voice. " And why should I let you try?"

Phillip listed the reasons. " I'm broke and I need the money. I have no family to take care of me for at the moment. And I'm trying to get into school so I don't have to walk the plains of the Earth for a morsel to eat." Phillip straightened his figure and spoke. " I'm an observant and diligent worker. I'll work for as long as you'll have me and as hard as you need me. The only questions I would like to ask are what are the hours and what do I need to excel at the job."

The boss grumbled. " I'm not in the employing mood at the moment. Get lost."

Phillip let a smile form. " You see, that's were we are at odds. I need this job and you are going to need some workers. Let's get this over with and you can return to your weeping party afterwords."

The boss rose from his seat and leaned into the light to show his angry, fat face to Phillip. " You have some nerve to say that to me."

Phillip looked back at the face with amusement. " I want a job and you want to relax. Don't blame me for your anger issues."

A grubby hand reached forward to grab, but didn't get far as Phillip stopped it in its tracks. Phillip said, " Now, now. Can't have you ruining your reputation from farther embarrassment. Just give me the job and all will be peachy."

" Have I come at a bad time?" a voice asked from the door. Phillip released the boss's hand and looked over his shoulder.

A man with black hair that resembled a Z-styled scythe leaned against the door. He wore a lab with two buttons which covered up his mouth and nose, leaving his eyes out but only behind black goggles and blue glasses. He also wore some black gloves. The lab coat covered up his feet.

The boss retreated to his seat. " Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Mister Membrane."

Mr. Membrane looked at the two with a stoic stare before speaking, " Child, will you follow me to my car? There is something I would like to discuss with you."

Phillip's brow rose. " And why should I exactly?"

The boss growled at this. " Show respect, brat! This is the smartest man in this town! You-"

Mr. Membrane waved him down. " I see you aren't one to trust easily, but I promise I have no intention to hurt you."

Phillip sighed and got up. Membrane stepped out into the hall and Phillip followed, if only to remove himself from the office of stench.

Once outside, where the sun was setting, Membrane returned to leaning, now on his car, and said, " My son had told me a little about you." He noticed Phillip's look. " The kid you punched during recess."

Phillip mouthed an " oh" expression and said, " Sorry, but I would like for him to not slap electrodes on my head just because I was outside of his school."

Membrane gave another waving motion. " He's fine. Dib has taken more damage from the squabbles between him and his sister. No, what intrigues me is what he overheard. He told me you don't have any parents."

Phillip looked down at this. " Do me a favor and don't bring up at subject."

Phillip felt a hand on his shoulder and looked Membrane in the eyes. Membrane said, " Let me take you to a friend's house. He can take care of you for now."

Phillip stepped back. " Sorry, but I don't want to try to replace my parents." Especially seeing as they're not dead yet.

" What I mean," Membrane stated, " is that he watch over you for now. He can even get you into the school."

Phillip looked back at the man. " Thank you, but I wish not to impose."

Membrane ruffed his hair, much to his ire, and said, " Nonsense. I'm sure he will find no trouble at all, though his daughters may find difficulty to grow accustom to the changes." That didn't make Phillip feel any better.

Phillip sighed. " You're not going to drop this until I accept this, are you?" Membrane shook his head. " Fine. I will allow this."

Membrane must have grinned as he said, " Excellent!"

_Scene Change_

Phillip had to admit somethings: some people had weird tastes in houses. They arrived in the night by some mystical means.

The building was two stories tall, white, and had a red door with a window at each side. The garage was connected to the main part. This gave it a normal factor.

Then the factor was shot dead and dragged to the street by the three enormous windows that covered the second story. The lights were out, signifying that the people inside were either fast asleep or was just not there.

Membrane knocked on the door before saying, " Do not worry. This friend of mine is quite the late-night-worker."

There were some yelling inside about getting the door and what appeared to be the owner opened the door.

The man was tall, but not as tall as Mr. Membrane. The owner of the house had black hair and stared at the two with analyzing black eyes. He wore a white lab coat, a white undershirt, and black pants with a black tie around his neck.

The owner continued to stare before blurting out, " Professor Membrane! It's a pleasure for you to visit, though there could have been a better timing than now. Like in the morning."

" Relax, Professor Utonium." Membrane responded. " I wish to ask a favor of you and you can return to your lab at your earliest convenience."

Utonium looked into the house for a second before opening it wider for the guests. Membrane walked in immediately while Phillip was more hesitant. He didn't trust either of the two adults.

Professor Utonium led them to the living room, which was right next to the door. He was about to walk over to the kitchen, but Membrane shook his head, signifying that there was no need.

Utonium sat down in the chair nearest to the couch while Membrane found comfort on the couch and Phillip took a seat on the floor, still not wanting to impose.

Utonium looked down at Phillip. " May I ask why you have brought a child with you for this visit?"

" He is the topic of this discussion." Membrane told Utonium.

Utonium panicked at this. " I can't just take in another child as favor! As you know, I just moved in and still have some unpacking to do, as well as already raising three little girls and-"

Membrane stop him right there. " And I am unable to raise this boy. I don't have the time to give my two children enough attention, so a third would be out of the question. Also, you know that Professor Wakeman's embarrassing ways to her daughter. The other scientists are either, like me, too busy, or wish for no children around to mess with their equipment. The only one that would be a possibility would be Dr. Brisbaine, and you know how well he takes to others. There is a higher possibility for this child to starve before being turned into a human test subject." Phillip didn't like the sound of " human test subject" much.

Utonium looked away from Membrane and set his eyes on Phillip. " What about an orphanage? I'm sure there is place for lost kids in these parts."

Membrane spoke with a ferocity the made Phillip think the orphanage did something evil. " I would not allow that to happen. I would take the boy in before that could ever happen, and you know my problems with that situation." Utonium tried speaking, but was waved down. " You are one of the few scientists that truly know how to raise a human child, even if created. I implore you."

Utonium thought for a minute. Two minutes.

Finally, he sighed and looked at the two. " I'll see what I can do." Utonium smiled down at Phillip and, in his younger self, tried his hardest to get out of the lime light without moving.

" Excellent. I shall see to it that this one receives a proper education." Membrane said while walking towards the door. He walked out and left Phillip and Utonium there.

Utonium gave the same analyzing gaze that could sense everything about him. " May I ask why Professor Membrane had taken a liking towards you. No one has achieve that in a long while."

Phillip shifted uncomfortably and spoke quietly. " I met his son and he heard me say I didn't have parents."

Utonium leaned closer. " Sorry? I can't hear you."

That didn't help in the slightest as Phillip's voice grew softer. " I think he heard me say I don't have parents."

Utonium sighed again and leaned back into his chair. " Well, for whatever reason, you're stuck with me for now. I guess I could make some arrangements to the guest room, but it would take some time out of the night and I just don't have time to do the work."

Phillip looked at the sofa. " Sir, if I may, I would be willing to use the couch for the night."

Utonium looked slightly astonished for a second before give the boy a smile. " Alright. If you really want to, I won't stop you." He went up stairs for a few minutes. Soon, he came back down with a large, blue yarn blanket and pillow in a white case. Phillip took them and placed them appropriately across the couch.

Utonium looked down and smoothed the ridges in the blanket before saying, " Get some rest. If I know Professor Membrane, and I like to think I do, you're going to the same school as my daughters and his son by tomorrow."

Phillip didn't respond to this. He just fell on top of the sofa and went to sleep.

" I told you that things would fall into place." Gabriel told him from his mind.

Quiet. Phillip told him. I like sleep

" Then sleep, warrior. You will need it."

That's a wrap!

Please leave constructive criticism as it would be greatly appreciated.

Let the rants begin!
