Disclamier: I don't own any of these characters, except Akia of course, and probably only some of the worlds are made up.
Note: Here comes the 2nd alternate reality, and an extra surprise at the end.
While Akia and Zack were in rich Zack's reality, Cody was in a nightmare reality.
"Where am I," Cody asked himself as he found himself on a street in the middle of the night, seeming to be abandoned. Something was odd about here though. Instead of street lights, there were huge torches seeming to be protected from the cold wind by some kind of shield. Instead of doors, there were purple portals. A sign to his left said in big letters "Wizard Academy 7", a sign to his right said "Quidditch Factory". "This can't be happening," Cody said glumly, "this goes against everything I believe in. However, I do need to know some information and protection from the cold, so maybe someone in that academy could help." Cody walked through the purple portal in front of the nearest Wizard Academy.
On the other side of the portal, it looked like a regular high school, except it seemed abandoned too. Actually, there were elves guarding the school to Cody's horror.
"What are you doing here? We don't allow admittance to rebellious geeks," one of the elves said. They were each dressed in either red, blue, or purple ancient medieval clothing, with brown wooden staffs that glowed brightly for some strange reason, pointy ears, and long hair that kept changing colors as though they were rainbows.
"Well, I must've lost my way home, and got a concussion that made me forget everything," Cody answered to their shock.
"Guess it was bound to happen sooner or later when you don't rely on magic," another one of the elves muttered.
Suddenly, someone who looked a lot like Mikayla, but had purple medieval clothing instead like the elves, appeared from a cloud of smoke laughing. "Now I've heard everything, the head of the rebel geeks losing his memory? Well, maybe this means you'll finally come over to our side. By the way, I'm the principal of this academy, and my name is Alex. Guards, go back to business, Cody and I have some unfinished business of our own," Alex said, the guards grumbling as they looked elsewhere.
"So, what's the history of the world, and what year is it," Cody asked.
Alex laughed again, then said, "Sorry. It's the year 3000, and to sum it up, magic has replaced technology centuries ago since the public discovery of wizards set up by someone named Zack."
Cody sighed. "That sounds like him. Is there any enemies I have to worry about," Cody asked.
"Let's go to my office, where we can talk more privately," Alex said sighing before making them both disappear in smoke.
They appeared in a principal's office. However, some of the wording for the filing system was different, like "spell scores", "will scores", "history scores", and the list kept going. Alex sat in her principal's chair. "Yes, there is one enemy. A former great student of mine who calls himself the Plotter," Alex explained.
"That sounds similar to Harry Potter," Cody realized, "this is messed up."
Alex laughed again, then said, "Harry who?"
"Never mind about that. So, do I have to worry about this villain," Cody asked.
"Well, he combines magic with technology, so he doesn't go after the rebels, including you. However, if you join the wizard side, you'll have to train for the Plotter. It'd be too late to put you in public classes, but we can get you a tutor," Alex offered.
Cody thought about this.
"I'll let you train me, if you tell me where Zack is and how I can get to him," Cody offered desperately, "fair enough?"
"Guess so, but I got to get to sleep, it's late. You'll be in bedroom 14, but almost nothing except for a bed is in it, at least to the untrained eye," Alex said with a yawn.
The next day, Cody went into a secret portal under his bed to begin wizard training, even given a wand as soon as he appeared to seem like endless darkness. "Anything to find my brother and get home," Cody thought as the darkness started to fade a little. He could start making out a familiar looking figure. "London," Cody asked in amazement.
"You must've hit your head hard, I'm Linda," the London look-alike said. However, she had medieval silver colored robes on instead of expensive ones, and pulled out a wand of her own.
"Oh sorry, so how does this training work," Cody asked.
"All you have to do is believe in yourself, and any spell can work for you. Some of the students stay longer because they have low self-esteem, some leave days or weeks later, but they never stop coming," Linda explained, Cody confused by this as she started to wave the wand a little.
Suddenly, the darkness turned into a cavern, with footsteps coming.
"Like a holodeck," Cody realized in amazement.
"What's a holodeck," Linda asked.
"Never mind," Cody said with a sigh, "what's the scenario?"
"A black dragon that breathes lava. I sense you have potential, so I thought we should start at level 4," Linda explained.
"How'd you figure out I'm a genius," Cody asked amazed.
"I'm a telepath. It's an ancient art in this academy, but only some can actually do it without looking at others. I'm one of those people," Linda said, "now try to think of a way to get rid of the dragon."
Cody thought hard as a black dragon started appearing before them, flying and charging at them.
Cody waved his wand thinking "I wish I was a superhero named Brain Man," and "anything to get my brother and I back home."
Suddenly, Cody's muscles got bigger, telepathy because he could hear the dragon thinking "here comes lunch", and telekinesis because he started to lift the dragon towards the cavern ceiling above. The cave started collapsing around the dragon as it got knocked out from above, Linda setting the setting back to faded darkness impressed.
"It's a start," Linda said in admiration.
An alarm then went off that spread throughout the academy, followed by an announcement from Alex. "Plotter's in the school. Remain calm. If you think you can't defeat him or at least hold him off for me, stay out of…"
The announcement was cut off by a crash, followed by a jet black cloaked figure flying towards Cody without a wand. "I recently found out that you're now a new target. I'm Plotter, your worst nightmare," Plotter said darkly. Cody still had a wand, so he tried to change the background to the original Tipton Hotel.
"I don't get why you chose this place," Linda said, then suddenly understood through Cody's mind, his powers as Brain Man gone.
"I'm going to make a trap for Plotter out of the advanced technology," Cody thought as he headed to Arwin's room, where the two former P.U.'s seemed to still be. He set the red one for a collapsing dimension, then opened the door.
Linda distracted him long enough for Cody to do this, then got out of his way as he charged towards Cody. Cody tumbled out of the way while pulling the lever, then closed the door to the P.U. on him, sending him to his doom as the red P.U. vanished.
"Wow, I didn't think of that," Linda said impressed, "how did you…"
"There's no time for that, the universe is collapsing, probably due to explosions during mid-transport," Cody realized after just remembering some of the dimensions collapsing according to the revived red P.U., "where's Alex? She still owes me a favor, maybe even more now."
"I'll take you to her, hero," Linda said as she made the portal to the bedroom appear again.
A half hour later, Cody got back to Alex's office and told her what happened. "Impressive for sure, but how did you know the simulator room had no safety limits," Alex asked.
"Because I thought it when I used a location I knew well to send Plotter to his doom," Cody admitted with glee.
Alex laughed, then calmed down and asked, "You really aren't from this dimension, are you? It all makes sense now. You also say that the universe is collapsing?"
"That's right. Hard to believe, isn't it," Cody answered.
"Well, according to Linda, she knows you're telling the truth through her telepathy, and that your brother is in the mess of collapsing dimensions. I had her check in with me before I let you in, remember," Alex answered.
"What about our deal," Zack asked.
"You've done that and more. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know," Alex said happily.
"Well, now that you mention it, you could try to help me mend the universe before it's too late," Cody suggested.
"I could have Linda take over for me, but you really think magic can go beyond this dimension," Alex asked.
"Well, to cavemen, modern times would look magical, wouldn't it," Cody pointed out.
"Well, least your genius hasn't left you," Alex said with a chuckle.
Suddenly, a rumbling started.
"Does that mean this one's next," Alex asked.
"Well, my theory is that if we repair the universe, the dimensions will heal on their own due to expanding space in any dimension. It might even bring back any missing people if none of our other selves come to mess it up," Cody answered, putting Alex at ease.
"Well, I can try making a portal to the nearest dimension, but I haven't tried something of this scale before," Alex said as she waved her wand, a blue portal appearing before them.
Suddenly, the screws and nails started flying all over the place, the window nearby showing the entire building starting to lift off the ground thanks to a red tornado.
"Looks like there might not be much of a choice now," Cody said as he jumped into the portal, alternate Alex going into the portal behind him.
"Darn, what's your twin's name again," Kim asked Zack.
Kim, Ron, Rufus, Zack, and Akia were suspended in transport between dimensions because a dimension collided and collapsed the one Cody was just in.
"Cody," Zack answered, "my brother, and I'm really starting to miss him."
"At least I won't leave you," Akia said to try to comfort him, "and no flirting with Kim either."
"Life was so simple before this," Zack muttered.
Kim laughed. "He's way out of my league anyway, and besides, I'm taken. Is he always like this," Kim asked.
"Yep," Akia answered.
"I sometimes have the same problem, except it's not that bad," Kim replied.
"Can we not talk about Yori now and go back to saving the universe," Ron asked embarrassed.
Kim sighed. "Wade, have you located Cody," Kim asked.
"Yes, but there's three more oddities; one of one of the people from one dimension being transported into the one you were just in when you rescued Zack and his alternate girlfriend, no offense Akia," Wade answered.
"None taken," Akia responded.
"One where someone from that dimension you were trying to go to seems to have joined Cody in his trip to another dimension, and another that you should consider adding to your to do list," Wade continued.
"Which dimension Wade," Kim asked.
"And can we get some nacos on the way," Ron asked.
"Ron, this isn't the time to think about food. Wade, the other oddity has to wait, that's probably the villains that vanished when Cody did," Kim said annoyed as she saw the number of the dimension and put it in the prototype pan dimensional vortex inducer.
A portal opened up and Zack, Akia, Ron, Rufus, and Kim went through it before it closed.
