Honk.

"Ugh…."

Honk.

"Oh… everything… hurts…" mumbled LanternLover23. Everything was absolute darkness. She shifted, and noticed she was face first on something stone cold. Pavement. She slowly lifted herself up, and as soon as she turned her head the first thing that entered her vision was a car speeding past. Honk. The car's exhaust entered her throat and she coughed. She quickly stood up and took in her surroundings. She was on a city block. If she didn't know better, she'd say she was in the real world. The time was late evening, and it was freezing cold. Just seconds ago she had been in GMAD headquarters, opening up a portal that pulled in…

She quickly looked down at the ground around her feet. GodzillaMan1000… Litwick723… PhoenixWillowsRox88… Poke-Potter-Pitch.1… DragonDreamer1011… StarWisher1011… their face planted bodies littered the sidewalk around her. They were unmoving. Her heart dropped her to her feet. Without thinking at all, she yelled, "GUYS! OH NO YOU'RE DEAD! WHAT HAPPENED?!" They slowly shifted, before picking themselves off the ground. Lantern's heartbeat steadied. "Oh thank god you're alive…"

"We were lying there I guess after YOU pulled us into another one of your portals." Phoenix complained, rubbing her aching back.

"The portal I…" Lantern paused for a moment. Now she remembered. Memories flooded her mind. Opening a portal to the real world. It had pulled her friends in. Just another one of her pranks to have fun. She couldn't quite dig up WHERE the portal had been meant to go, but she was sure it wasn't the real world.

Well, this certainly was a city block. Oh god. She screwed up. She let out a sigh of relief. "Phew. I thought you guys were wiped out of the universal plane of existence."

Dream laughed. "Nope. Not yet. Anyway why did you bring us here?"

"I didn't…" Lantern frowned. "This isn't where I planned to bring us… whatever… probably just a fluke. Anyway, let me open another portal back to GMAD."

"Kay." Dream nodded and stood back. Lantern reached her hand and willed a portal open. Everyone expected the normal green and white swirly tear in space to appear before them.

But it didn't.

Nothing happened.

Lantern laughed nervously. "Just let me try again…" she stretched out her arm and tried again. Still nothing.

Phoenix rolled her eyes. "Lantern, this isn't funny."

"I'm not joking!" Lantern exclaimed in a panic, letting her arm drop to the side. "Wait… wait…" She ran her tongue quickly over her teeth. Her fangs were gone… She examined her skin. It wasn't vampire pale. Just human pale. This made no sense. Her eyes widened, and she looked up. The sun was in sight and beating down on them.

And she wasn't burning.

"Oh god…" she whispered. "I'm a human!"

"What?" said 3P. "How? Can you open up a portal?"

"No! My demonic powers must be gone as well." Lantern exclaimed.

"This makes no sense!" Wish said. "Unless… wait let me try something." She held out her hand as if expecting something to happen. She seemed to panic. "What is happening- guys! Try to use a spell of any kind!" Everyone in the group tried, except Lantern and Wish who seemed to be freaking out. Nothing happened. No fire, no water, no magical energy, not even a spark.

Litwick stared at his hand. "Why is our magic gone? And- wait." his clothes had changed (everyones clothes had changed to fit the real world setting, but nobody had questioned in considering the fact they had been able to be in swimsuits and have towels without doing anything once.) into a red hoodie, white shirt and pants, very normal attire, I guess. He pulled off his jacket despite the freezing cold and felt around his back using his hands for his wings. "I'm not a dark fairy anymore. Lantern what was in that portal?"

Lantern flinched visibly. "It may… or may not…. have had… some magic draining properties…."

"WHAT?" everyone in the group yelled.

"I'm sorry!" Lantern squeaked. "I didn't mean for it to! It just happened!"

"Uh guys…" everyone turned to the voice, which sounded like it belonged to Zilla. But all they saw was a 24 year old man, tall and muscular with yellow eyes and black hair. "I'm a human too…" Silence fell over the group.

"So, let me get this straight…." Phoenix muttered, rubbing her temples. "Not only did that portal make us lose our magic, but anyone that was a magical creature before is now human?"

Lantern looked reluctant to answer. "Yes."

"LANTERN!" Phoenix yelled, waving her arms around.

"Don't worry mi amigo!" Lantern hastily said before Phoenix went on a rampage. "Because WE have the gift of modern technology!" she whipped out her phone, and dialed GMAD's number. …

"No connection!" Lantern yelled, shaking her phone. "Come on! That's not even fair!"

"You mean we're stuck here?!" 3P screamed.

"Pretty much. But how about we get a snack or something?" Lantern asked.

Dream sighed. "Now exactly isn't the time." she stuffed her hand in her jacket pockets. "And besides, we don't have any…." she pulled her hands out of her pockets, now holding several 100 dollar bills. "…money."

Phoenix growled. "We are not getting something to eat. I'm too mad to eat."

A few minutes later...

The members of GMAD were seated at a booth in a restaurant, Phoenix in the middle of 3P and Litwick, grumbling with her arms crossed.

Lantern, who sat next to 3P, awkwardly shifted whenever Phoenix grunted in anger. The other members of the small group seemed to be pretty mad as well, but they didn't make a show about it. They were all too angry.

They ordered quickly, not wanting to get into a conversation with a waitress concerning why a group of young teenagers were just chillin' with a 24 year old. Nope. Not happening.

It was a generic fast food restaurant. Phoenix was angrily munching on some French fries when Lantern finally spoke.

"Listen, I'm sorry. But the tension in the air is too much for me to bear."

"That was a terrible rhyme." Dream commented, not even looking up from her food.

"This awkward silence is evil. How's about we just forget-"

"I'M SORRY!" Phoenix yelled in a thick sarcastic tone. "But people just don't FORGET about stuff like THIS IN TWO MINUTES!" Half the resturaunt went silent. "And you know what?" Phoenix slammed her hands down on the table, causing it to shake as she stood up. She pointed at Lantern as if expecting a spell to happen. Nothing did.

"Oh I forgot!" Phoenix growled. "We don't have our magic anymore!"

A waiter and waitress came up to their table.

"Ma'am, we're gonna have to ask you to calm down…"

"Or you'll do what? What're you gonna do? What'ya gonna do?"

A few minutes later...

They stood outside the restaurant door, rubbing their arms in an attempt to shield themselves from the cold. The door slammed behind them.

"Phoenix, I can't believe you got us kicked out of that restaurant…" Lantern said, glaring at her friend.

"Lantern!" Phoenix replied, mimicking Lantern's voice sarcastically. "I can't believe you made us lose our magic and got us stuck in the real world!"

"Just let it go, would you?" Lantern whined, wrapping her arms around herself.

Litwick walket up behind Phoenix. His eyes flashed red. "You know, she has a point. People don't forget about this sort of thing overnight."

"Oh come on! It's not like Typewriter and the rest of GMAD won't notice we're gone!" Lantern protested.

"That's where you're wrong." a figure slowly emerged from the shadows of an alleyway. Nobody seemed to be surprised. Just annoyed.

"Really?" Zilla commented. "Coming out of the shadows?"

"That's kinda cliche…" Dream finished.

"Don't patronize me." the person said. The person was a tall woman clad in black with red eyes. And she was really tall, 8 feet they presumed.

Lantern stared at the woman for a second before cursing loudly. "You're a vampire!"

"How correct of you to notice."

Lantern turned to Zilla. "I thought you killed all of them!" she complained.

Zilla opened his mouth but 3P beat him to it. "Now doesn't to seem like the time to be complaining."

"Wow. How did you know I used to be a solider in Alcatran's army like that? I could be any vampire."

"You've got the dripping red fang symbol on your uniform." Lantern pointed out. "Wait- used to? Are you not evil anymore?"

The vampire let out a laugh. "I still want to kill you. And everything. Gotta love some good old fashioned murder." The GMAD as a whole glared at the woman. "I never liked working for Alcatran. I only stayed in her idiotic army because my brother was a part of it. And after he was killed…" She glared at Zilla, who returned the favor. "I decided to do my best to sabotage GMAD and some of it's greatest warriors…"

Lantern made a so-so motion with her hand. "Litwick and Zilla are really strong but I'm not one of GMAD's greatest 'warriors'. Not a fighter or a lover… just a maniacal idiot. I'm average, at best."

Some in the group probably would've said she was degrading herself there, but nobody was in the mood to comfort.

"Anyway, Lantern, you said the GMAD would notice your absence. And that is where I say, 'WRONG!'"

"What do you mean by that?" 3P asked, her face draining most of it's color.

"Once I saw that your demonic vampire screwed up…" Lantern visibly flinched. "I decided to send personalized clones to take your place in GMAD. It will take awhile before they notice you're gone."

Zilla frowned. "They probably be able to differentiate us from clones."

"4-15-14 20 6-12-1-20-20-5-18 25-15-21-18-19-5-12-6 25-15-21 20-15-15 12-1-14-20-5-18-14 9 13 1-14 5-24-16-5-18-20 3-12-15-14-5 13-1-11-5-18 1-14-4 9 22-5 19-20-21-4-9-5-4 25-15-21-18 2-5-8-1-22-9-15-18-1-12 20-18-1-9-20-19 15-22-5-18 20-8-5 25-5-1-18-19 6-18-15-13 20-8-5 4-1-18-11-14-5-19-19 20-8-5-25 1-18-5 19-8-1-4-15-23-19 15-6 25-15-21-18-19-5-12-22-5-19. Well, this is goodbye. Good luck trying to get back to GMAD. Not really!" She let out another sick laugh. Slowly she backed into the shadows, starting to dissolve.

Dream noticed what she was doing, and lunged for the woman vampire. "Not today!" she yelled, grasping the air where the vampire had dissolved, shadowy particles floating in the air in remain. She cursed. "Cliche! I'm just saying!"

"What were all those numbers at the end?" questioned 3P.

"It was a Gravity Galls ripoff." answered Litwick.

Silence then swept over them. The tension in the air thickened as the horribleness of their situation sunk in.

"This is bad…" muttered 3P. "Really bad…"

Wish counted the money they had left from the restaurant. She leafed through the 100 dollar bills. "We still have a lot left. Enough for a hotel or something I guess…"

"Still…" Wish commented. "Stuck in the real world… no magic… no GMAD realizing we're gone…"

"This sucks…"

Well, that my terrible attempt at adventure. Hope you enjoyed my terrible writing :P. I'll be surprised if you actually try to waste your time and decipher that. Anyway, this is the first part, and it may be split up into three or more parts. Secrets will be revealed later. So I hope it's nothing you expect. Lantern, out. Until next time.
