What is up all of my eager readers? Now, in this chapter, I am gonna be explaining the multiple, random places as part of...plans. P.S. Chronos Project chapter next! Anyways, ENJOY!

I continued jumping from building to building until I reached the roof that gives me a perfect view of the viewing area. All around were the guards that invaded all of the other places. "Crap. Where is that spandex wearing fuck!"

From behind, I got punched in the back of the head and off of the roof. I landed on the ground with a loud thud and laid on my side in pain. "Huh. A fall like that would never hurt my colleagues or our employer. Are you really the-", the mystery bastard said.

"Yeah, yeah. 'Are you really the one who beat up my friends and decimated their armies?!' Well, disappointing enough, I AM YOU JACKASS!", I interrupted him, struggling to get up.

He clapped and said, "That's more like it. Now." He reached behind his back and pulled out a FUCKING HAND-HELD PISTOL and aimed it at my face. "My 'friends' and I have been hired by a man who has been paid a lot of money by someone very high in this world to either capture or, if needed, kill you. It wouldn't be much fun if our prey didn't put up a fight."

I slightly chuckled. I looked at him and said, "Thanks for the info." Under me, a portal opened and brought me back up to the rooftop. "I'm gonna let my friend take care of you know; he'll be fighting you in my place for now."

The man looked at me then turned around to see Shine holding one of his long-swords across his neck and the other along his chest. "Why hello there. My name is Shine Requiem. You may know me for my particularly deadly line of work as a mercenary, or an assassin, or...hit-man, or whatever you call them now."

The man dropped his gun and held his hands in the air. "You know Shine? My employer might need someone like you on his force. I could give you a good word.", the man said, not caring about the swords on him. "Too bad that that position is filled..." He vanished from the spot and reappeared, the gun in his hand, behind Shine. "...by me."

He pulled the trigger multiple times, but all that came out was an array of clicks. I jumped off the building, my katana at the ready, and sliced downwards along his chest as I landed. He kicked me in the chest, launching me away from him, then started brawling with Shine. Shine continuously swiped at him with his long-swords, however, the man blocked every attack and countered with swift punches or kicks. It ended with one of Shine's swords in his arm and the other halfway into the ground.

"Hey. I might have been a mercenary for a few months, but I never trained with anyone who can fight like a fucking ninja.", he said to me while laying on the ground, pulling the sword out of his arm. "Who the fuck is this guy anyways?"

He looked at Shine and said, "Today, I am the man who subdued you and your team of delinquents for Herobrine. You may not know it, but the seven of you are major pieces to an enormous puzzle; the puzzle being the universe in Herobrine's hand. I know that most of your team is from the Earth realm, so you know what this pistol, that wasn't even functional, is."

My eyes shot opened as I realized both how I got here, and how they have that weapon. "He is breaking the barrier between our realities. He is almost done, and I'm guessing that we are either part of, or are the last part of it being complete.", I said, trying to hold back my tears.

"You're not so dumb after all!", he said with glee. "You are 100% correct. He needs the blood of seven warriors, all different species with different origins, to open the seven gates of sin. Once they are open, they will bring forth an item, so powerful, that even a dying slave wielding it can kill Notch."

Shine started laughing manically. "A weapon like that doesn't and won't ever exist. Notch forged this world, he wouldn't make something that could destroy it!", Shine said, still laughing.

"On the contrary. This weapon wasn't made by Notch, or anyone who has the power and authority as him, this weapon was made by a group of people know as 'The Shadow Race'.", he retorted. "They were the most powerful people, right under the gods, from every race, species and world. In order to prove their power, a weapon was forged to kill anyone and anything in their way...but a war broke out, and they needed a place to protect their treasures, so they made a tomb some where in the world that's locked by the seven gates."

"Nice history lesson. Any stories that are thrilling?", I asked, bored out of my mind from hearing about the shadow guys.

He scoffed and said, "How about this, from Herobrine himself. 'I know what you did, and now, this manhunt for your head is personal.'" While saying the threat, half of his body started glitching out and changing into the man who threatened me. His body turned to normal, but the state left him dazed and bleeding. He started wiping away the blood and said, "By the way, since this may be the last time I see you, my name is Nick, and my comrades' names are Nate, Maxon, and Luke."

I smelt something familiar. The blood throbbing from his nose and head seemed to match the blood from a while ago, in the forest. "You're brothers. You and your comrades, you're brothers.", I said, leaving Nick even more dazed.

"How-How...How did you know that?!", he said, taking a few steps back.

I answered, "Your blood, all B-negative, your voices, beneath the distortions, are all the same, and lastly, you are all equally weighted and near the same height. I can't believe it took me this long to realize this." I took another big sniff and noticed a distinct smell that made freeze. "You're all also W-", I started, but stopped by a hand impaling my chest.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You are not to tell our secret just yet.", Nick said, jamming his hand in me even further. "He's gonna be mad to learn I had to kill you, but so be it."

"This isn't the first time I've been stabbed by someone's hand, buddy.", I said, chuckling a little.

I started coughing up blood. "Yes, but this is your first time being withered." My chest turned black and started to 'melt', in a way. I coughed up even more blood as I turned to ash. "Goodbye, sin of wraith."

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted this chapter sooner, but I have been really busy and I made a mistake on a whole half of this, so :P Anyways, I am also sorry that the only three characters in this chapter were Shine, Nick, and JC. The other guys just killed the army and saved the people. Plus, Micheal the champion kid disappeared from here into my future project. SEEYA!
