Adam poked Amanda with his pipe. She didn't move, but just groaned.

"She's down. So, who's the body snatcher here?"

Daniel and Jonas and not Addison, she was smart, looked at me.

"Goddammit. I need smarter minions. Here I am." I stood up, and twirled. "I am the body snatcher. Can I go cure my friends?"

He waved his hands. "Sure, sure."

I went, drew out the strong healing potion from Resident Evil 7, and drank a little. It burnt going down, but soothed my traumatized insides.

Poison resistance levels up! Poison resistance levels up! Poison cured.

That hadn't happened when I had used it to heal injuries, with first aid. I wasn't sure why.

Then I went to Cure and Xavier, and poured a little on each. Their wounds knitted closed, and they awoke, tendrils of flesh closing to fill the bloody hole in Xavier's side. Cure came to me, and jumped and hugged me, and Xavier got up, confused, feeling the bullet wounds on him.

"I died..." He said.

"I know." I said. "This is heaven."

He looked around. "Heaven is a sewer?"

I nodded. "Yes, we've had some budget cuts."

He looked at me for a second, cottoned on, and grinned. "You're playing me. So, did we win. Is Amanda dead?"

I nodded my head up and down, holding Cure. He didn't make eye contact with anyone but me, and was sending me lots of lovey dovey messages over our party chat.

I looked back at Gordon, not pointing his shotgun at me, but very much giving the impression that doing so was an option if I didn't comply. I gave a thumb at them.

"They deserve the real credit. They saved us." After we burnt, needled, poisoned, and deperked Amanda. Not at all salty they kill stole. "They're from Jigsaw's original trap."

He opened his hands to Gordon. "We're like brothers. Put em here, Saw survivor." He held a hand out.

"Don't be silly. We still need to work out what is going on. We don't have time for games. Come." He walked back, into the room.

"What's his beef?" Asked Xavier.

"He's a cold and unemotional doctor, only with passion for South Korean actors featured on shows such as House, Ghost Whisperer, and Seinfeld." Alexandra, also known as Carla here, his mistress.

"That seems oddly specific."

I shrugged. "I don't make the rules."

We headed back inside.

"So." I said. "How did you know that you got body snatched? I didn't think I left behind any clues." I asked Adam.

"Besides my complete personality shift? Or the fact that you searched a bunch of names I have never seen on my computer and "Busty asian chicks in sawland" On my computer?" Wow, I had been out of it then. I'd forgot doing that. "Or the fact that I felt it all. I was in there all through it, unable to move. Stuck, seeing you move my body." He paced back and forth, swaying his pipe.

"But it's fine. You saved me. We ask the questions though. Who are you?"

"I am-" I got ready to say my real name. I couldn't remember it though. I shook my head. What had it been…

"He's a planeswalker. He travels from world to world, saving people." Said Xavier. Addison added her voice. "He has powers and abilities. He granted me some of it- the ability to see danger, to talk to others from afar. He saved us."

Daniel and Jonas nodded along with it. Cure looked nervous at the strangers, and hid behind my legs.

"Why didn't you tell me this, in this room?" Asked Gordon.

Adam spoke. "Do we have to do this here? This room creeps me out."

Gordon looked around. "You experienced a little perfection, of a cold minded genius here. You should appreciate it."

I gestured at him. "Yeah, this cold minded genius- Jigsaw- he's gonna escalate. That's why I left the message on your computer. I knew you'd decrypt it. I am here to form a group to oppose it." I'd sorta planned this with the group here, but I'd assumed Gordon had gone dark side like in the original timeline. Yay butterflies.

I swept my hand out. "Things are only gonna get worse from here on in. We need to be ready. If you will accept it, I can give you all blessings of interplanar power, to aid you in this."

Jonas spoke. "You want us to go back up into that!" He said, gesturing at the house. "I'm never going back into anything like that."

I shook my head. "I need you to be ready." I looked around the group. "You all, before, drifted in life, without a clear purpose or function. Jigsaw came, and you stepped up and saved yourself. But he didn't make you. He has pressed many blades into the steel of his traps before. You were all sharp enough, strong enough to survive. You forged yourself, and you were the ones strong enough to not break. But things will get worse. That's why you need to prepare. You need to prepare others. Gordon. Will you accept my blessing?"

"What is this blessing?"

I summoned Ethan Winters from my inventory. He looked rather shocked, as I yanked away his backpack, and tossed him back into my inventory.

I then drew out a field genetic test kit, and a full jar of the healing potion, along with some herbs and a strong and weak chem fluid and herb.

"This is the solution to endless healing. With it, you can heal any wound. Master it, and you will be a doctor above all. Will that do?"

"I saw this heal a gunshot instantly. If this does what you say- I am already here to stop Jigsaw. He threatened my wife and child. I'm not letting him do that again."

"Great to have you on board." And not with Jigsaw. "How did you find us anyway?"

Adam spoke up, apparently willing to answer questions. "Because you left their names on my computer." He gestured around. "What did you do with Laura anyway?"

I shifted my form. "I have many forms, and many bodies." I said, showing off Laura's body, then my own again. "She will return, just as you did in time. May I continue blessing people?"

He looked at me. "Fine."

I turned to Daniel. "Will you accept my blessing?"

He grinned. "Do I get a magic tool as well?" I nodded. "Yes you do."

I tossed him an EMF visualizer and a laptop from the backpack. "This is a very advanced laptop. It's from the future. You've heard of Moore's Law?"

"The number of transistors on a computer doubles every year, and the cost halves."

"Yes. This is from a computer where this has happened a lot. The EMF visualizer is a device that can solve P=NP problems and hack things. Together, they give you supreme hacking powers." Computer jargon!

I turned to Jonas. "I have nothing new to offer you. But we need more improvised medical devices. As a vet, you have experience that no one else has in working in dirty, dangerous conditions. Will you aid our group, in crafting medical devices to work even in Saw dungeons?"

"If it's just crafting, I am in."

I turned to Addison and Xavier. "I need voices on the street, eyes watching. With the technology I bring, we shall have money. You can get me that knowledge. Are you up for that?"

Addison spoke. "Are you leaving us? Why? You could stay. Help us fight Jigsaw."

Xavier agreed. "Yeah. We could all play that dnd game you promised us."

I shook my head. "Like Cinderella, I vanish at midnight. Or after I sleep at least. I have many missions and places I am called to. But, I will be back."

Xavier clapped his arm to mine. "I'll miss you. I will sell many drugs in your name."

I looked at him. "Have you considered smuggling medical drugs? They're vastly overpriced in the US. Gordon could give you details. Adderal, antibiotics, insulin- I bet you could make a big legalish profit off that. Sell to soccer moms and suburbanites, rather than street types. Laura, the base form of this body- her sister needs insulin."

"I'll try it. For you." My effort at a good deed for the day.

And last, I turned to Adam. "I stole your body. I am sorry you had to go through that, but I am not sorry that I did it. You know she-" I gestured at Amanda. "Would have killed you if I hadn't?"

"You had no right to take me. It felt… dirty."

"Would you prefer I let you die."

"No!" Adam said. "But it was shitty."

I was pretty sure I could withdraw my blessings. I could yank the perks back, and take them. That gave me an idea.

"Join my party." I sent him an invite. He looked surprised at the interface in front of him, and tapped yes.

I tossed him gamer's mind level 1 and 2. I had enough points now. I set them to withdraw when I left the world.

"This will ease your suffering for a while, and begin the healing."

He blinked. "It feels better. I feel better. I don't feel trapped any more!" He danced. "I feel amazing."

"Don't embarrass yourself." Said Gordon. "So what is this group about?"

I nodded. "You need to gather money. You need to prepare yourself. Then, you need to prepare the world for Jigsaw. Everyone I searched, and everyone beyond. You need to be ready. You need to prep."

We talked some more, hashed out some details, and caught up. I won back some trust, and eventually they were good with what I was doing. I managed to convince them to leave me alone with Amanda, slowly bleeding out, and we started the real party.

I summoned Ethan and Eve again, taking the form of Mia.

"What? Where am I?" Asked Ethan. "I don't know this place." Said Eve.

"I called you here for a game." I told my family. "I'm gonna visit many worlds, and you two are gonna come with me." I clapped both their shoulders."

"Ok, sounds safer than our world" Said Ethan. Chill as ever. "What are other worlds?"

I spoke. "Every time we make a choice, a new world spins out. Every time the threads shift, the worlds change. This is another thread. And I need your help. I need that lady." I gestured to Amanda. "To become my sister." I knelt down to Eve's level, and looked at her pretty black hair and young face. "Can you help your mother?" I said, stroking her hair.

"I'd love to have a new sister. We can play games and joke." She reached over to Amanda, and tendrils of flesh flowed off her.

Amanda bolted up.

Desperate struggle activated! Perk exhaustion worsened.

She drew a knife from somewhere, and rammed it into Eve's arm. Eve giggled pumping more and more fungal matter into Amanda's body. Ethan stepped forward, holding Amanda down. "I guess we're doing this? I hope you have a plan." Ah, Ethan and your lack of emotion at serious events.

"She captured me and tried to kill me. She's evil."

Amanda screamed. "Get out of my head!" She rammed her fist ineffectually into Ethan repeatedly. He grunted with each punch, but not enough to move away. In time her motions slowed and she started to collapse, the spores filling her up.

I spoke. "Amanda is a naughty girl. Could you make her obey mommy as well?" Eve smiled. "She'll always love me best." "And mommy second?"

And more and more fungi pumped into Amanda. It was the perfect plague. Well hidden, mind controlling, and not super infectious because it was designed to be a stealth weapon.

Jigsaw wouldn't know what hit him. Try fucking me over with unfair traps now in Saw 3.

What problem isn't made better by adding an infectious bioengineered disease to it? Saw 3 is definitely made better, that's for sure. Next chapter, back into the void. I should have it done tomorrow, but if not, it's because I am gonna try and re-organize all his many perks and stuff into an easy and readable form. Any suggestions for the next world are welcome.

A new poll is up on my profile, for the current ideas for where to go that are horror tales.

Thorison1080. For my plotting, for each movie I have a list of the people involved, what they know or suspect, and what they might do differently. They may be more cruel, or less cruel- they can't be excessively cruel, because they like people struggling and hurting themselves and having hope which is crushed before they die horribly, and they don't know who the SI will go into. But they have plans.

Toobad69. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the twist. A lot of build up into this. He is making sure he isn't alone, and setting up for the eventually construction of Megatron v2.

Arkyong. That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die. On the fate of Amanda.

Sansas22. It's an option in the polls. Vote, and push final destination, and we shall see how death handles macgyver. Notably, I am currently following the same solution people used there to avoid death, hiding away in an isolated house.

Crimsonsylvan. Yeah, if she'd maintained tactical awareness she might have won this one. She's a better shot than Gordon. Never gloat. And prototype is a bit too high power for him atm, and not super conductive to fun horror. Minecraft isn't horror. Unless you have some idea how either could make for some fun survival horror?

Soda-fied Psycho. Yes, Saw 3 is quite a bit changed now.

Dr Cookie Deleter. Any part of Spawn? Looks like a big universe.

Mistersnx. Is there good survival horror in Gears? Mostly looks like action. And, depends on if you all pick a world where he gets abducted again.

Watermelonninja. Added.

Vote on worlds, and next time you shall see all his perk options.
