Chaotic Hangouts

Chapter 4: Why Are We In Rune-Midgarts?

Date: August 27th, 2022

It's been one hell of a day at IndyFurCon. I was not expecting my friend Status who hosted the Midnight at iFC panel to play a game called Things with the other panelists during it. Even though I left it early to go back to my hotel room in order to sleep, it would be like an hour before I finally fell asleep. I should have turned the air conditioner on sooner. Woke up an hour later but after that, I fell asleep again and had a weird nightmare related to furry conventions and Kings Island. As usual, I woke up in my other body first but something wasn't right. Opening my eyes fully, I'm in for the shock of my life: "..Izlude? But how?! I'm certain I went to bed back in Miitopia in this body. Damn it. Why am I in the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom?" I continue looking around, there are people giving me strange looks for apparently sleeping on the streets of Izlude, the city of warriors.

My shock increases when I see that I'm not alone: "Is this a dream? This must be a dream too. But no, it's not strange enough to be a dream. My dreams show events that are nearly impossible in my life. This isn't a nearly impossible event. Shit. Why did some hot heads and other troublemakers have to end up here too? Crap. They're all knocked out. Ugh. I have to wake them up. Better save Bakugo for last, his temper is such a pain. Rainbow Dash will be the easiest." I wake up Rainbow Dash, Korg, Zed, Seatbastian, King Luis of Greenhorne, Knuckles, and Bakugo in that order. Here are the responses they had upon being woken up: "Hey, long time no see Adam! You must be having so many awesome adventures! Also where are we?" "I will explain later. Be ready for a few headaches." "Hey you there! Where are we? Was this one of master Agram's plans? I thought he was gone for good." "Not answering." "Hey Korg, I'm so confused right now." "Who are all of you? None of you look like you deserve to sit on me. Master Neiru never told me to come to this place so why am I here? I hope none of you are responsible because I would be forced to take drastic measures." "You. YOU?! ADAM! I hate you so much! You radical traitor! Was this your doing?" "Don't play the blaming game, Luis! You're the one who can't accept that your government is not ideal for running Greenhorne! Just stop it and let me wake up Bakugo and Knuckles."

"..It's good to see you again, Adam. Last time we teamed up to save the world, you showed me something few ever do. Also, WHERE ARE WE?!" "I can't explain right now. Later once everyone has cooled down, I will. It is good to see you, of course. I must wake up the massive hothead now, I'm so not excited.''Oh great, one of the nerds woke me up. WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?! THIS MUST HAVE BEEN YOU'RE DOING, YOU QUIRKLESS 2 FACED LOSER! I HAVE TO TRAIN TO BEAT UP A BUNCH OF NOBODY VILLAINS YOU KNOW! WHY ARENT THE DAMN EXTRAS WITH YOU?! AND WHERE THE HELL IS DEKU? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" "I already have a headache. Well, FYI genius, you should know by now that I would never pull a stunt like this. After all, I suggested to All Might and Eraserhead to come to Miitopia to get their permanent scars and injuries healed up by my friends Bray and Dominic. They haven't accepted it or even declined it. The conflict you are soon to be involved in might go drastically differently than it's supposed to so just calm down while I try to get all of us out of here. Strange, you aren't making fun of my pajamas." "I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY, THIS IS YOUR FAULT! DIE!" The chaos only gets worse as Korg and Zed try to sit on Seatbastian. Korg is an ogre like green pudgy Shadow Magi who wears a grey helmet with wings on it. Zed is more like a jungle-ish green human-ish Shadow Magi with a red shirt, turquoise long hair, and turquoise triangular beard. The mostly dark purple robot Seatbastian has a red visor, lime green face with kinda weird eyes, odd mouth, lavender like lines, a yellow circle, and 2 other ones that form the upper edges of his head in terms of color.

"Get off of me, you two buffoons are clearly not worthy to sit on me, the luxurious lounge chair. I am the chair of all chairs." He ejects both of them easily. It seems that whatever got us here didn't take any of our stuff as Korg and Zed summon their now purified dream creatures: "Nooo! Our shadow creatures! Agram's defeat must have removed their void energy! Now they won't do anything for us willingly! Come on Korg, you get them to listen to us since that talking chair over there wants to hog himself to himself!" Bakugo begins attacking me: "DIE YOU BASTARD! COME ON, FIGHT ME!" "Let me get out my stuff first if you're going to be this serious about everything. Today's just going great. I want to be eating breakfast with my closest Miitopian friends right now. But here we are. And will you just let me try to get us out of here for real? This city is very cool, I'd live here or Payon if it weren't for Miitopia. Nevertheless, we cannot stay here like this." I dodge all of his attacks as I get out my gear and equip it: "There we go. Now I don't have to rely on just dexterity to avoid getting hit by you." Knuckles, the red echidna with blue eyes, white gloves, and big red, yellow, and green shoes blocks a blast from Bakugo: "LISTEN HERE YOU JERK! I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ATTACK OUT OF NOWHERE WITHOUT EVEN FIGURING ANYTHING OUT! AND I RESPECT ADAM, YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE, YOU HEAR ME?! COME AT ME INSTEAD, HOTSHOT!" "DAMN YOU, IM GOING TO MURDER YOU FIRST!"

At least Knuckles isn't mad at me and is very tough. Much more suited to fighting Bakugo than me. Bakugo and I are both close range fighters but he is able to propel himself with his quirk in the air and can send out blasts from a distance, I can't. Rainbow Dash makes quick work of the dream creatures, only to get into an argument with Korg while Zed argues with Seatbastian. Then, King Luis glares at me: "You're giving me the mean eyes. I don't appreciate that. Well, I would stay and fight you but your mass is so large that any force I send out with my sword wouldn't be able to do nearly as much. Actually, I will just activate my duel disk. Rush Duel mode engaged. I'm still worn out. But even still, I shall fight with my Artist comrades. To start, I activate Polymerization in order to fuse these monsters from my hand in order to fusion summon Musical Artist Jammer. Next, I activate Artistic Fusion to fuse again. All chanting aside, does the ultimate form of Jammer even need an introduction? Just their stare alone is enough to frighten most humans. Now then, I will skip ahead through all the dialogue to introduce to you as I quickly summon them, the other 2 icons of my deck: Regnes and Terror Fairy! It's on, Luis! Try and stop us!" I coordinate with the 3 Artist monsters to attack Luis because he won't take peace as an answer. As we fight, the guards of Izlude come while yelling: "Stop fighting, all of you! You are violating the order in the city. This isn't a martial arts competition!" The guards charge in upon hearing no reply.

My Artist comrades and I stop fighting to let them through only for an angry Bakugo to blow them away. Their leader exclaims: "Not even the Izlude knights can handle them. I'm delivering a message through the fly wing to the Captain Of The Knights in Prontera. All of you, evacuate the citizens, we must protect them and keep the city in order as best as we can." The other guards nod and I get frustrated too: "Normally, I can handle most situations very calmly as if I feel neutral or content. But all of you are making such a big scene, it's giving me a headache! Calm down, please! Okay, ignore me. Whatever! Quantum Leap, take all of us to the location and time of the Tournament Of Power in the main Dragon Ball multiverse of 12 universes! There are fighters more powerful than all of these individuals combined who can get them to stop. I'm so annoyed! Let's get this over with!" Only I get teleported and end up hitting the outer edge of the universe before the band sends me back automatically due to hitting the edge: "Shit! That didn't work at all! We're stuck in this universe. STUCK." I try calming everyone down again by yelling at the top of my lungs: "HEY, WE'RE ALL STUCK IN THIS UNIVERSE! STOP FIGHTING UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE STUCK HERE FOR EVEN LONGER. But seriously, fighting about this won't help anyone." This only causes Bakugo to glare at me before firing a blast at me which does no damage because of my armor(or so I thought). I keep trying but only get hit or ignored.

"Everyone's pissed now, good job, Katsuki Bakugo. No wonder you wanted your hero name to be Lord Explosion Murder. You're even worse in person when you get mad. Hell, one of my own relatives can imitate your yelling at Deku. What a piece of work. I'm just glad magic doesn't work here the same way it does in Equestria. I don't want to deal with windigos." I breathe a sigh of relief as help arrives. The top members of The Order Of The Knights arrive via fly wing while my counterpart in this universe, Lord Knight Swiftdrawer arrives through Kafra Teleportation Services with their Peco Peco, animal friend Lunatic, Merchant Natalie, and Knight Raygene. The lord knight reacts to the fighting: "This is going to be difficult. I wish Varmundt were better. He could help a lot with this." Lord Knight Seyren replies: "I do too, friend. And I wish I knew if my sister was safe or not. Keep looking for her for me. We can do it. It is our duty as knights and you as an adventurer as well to help resolve conflicts like this. They are all too far gone. We will battle them together." "Yes, Odin is watching us. We must not let him down either." They turn and spot me: "Hey! You look a lot like me! Who are you?" I reply: "Damn it. There's no time to explain." We then heard Seatbastian yell: "I told you you two are not worthy to sit on me, the luxurious chair." "Is that a talking robot?" "Comrade, I wish I could explain right now but we will have to fight them first just as you two said. What a drag." Lord Knight Swiftdrawer has red hair done into a long braid of sorts in the back, brown eyes, full silvery and golden lord knight armor plus a red cape, a fabric thing hanging from the chest with an emblem on it, a flower in the mouth, flushed pink cheeks, and another but large flower as a headgear.

Seyren has crimson eyes, white hair, and the same armor. Raygene speaks up: "What are we waiting for? Let's fight so I can show off and be fabulous!" The Captain Of The Knights, a purple haired knight with short hair and long bangs above his face replies: "I hate to interrupt but we won't be doing this by ourselves. You are the companion of the destined hero of our world but that doesn't mean either of you can handle this yourselves. Bonnie should be here soon. We will wait for her. She will try to use magic to stop them all but if that fails, that's where we come in. Remember, our duty is to protect Rune." I reply: "May I help you? I'm not a knight but I am a warrior and sword fighter. In return for you letting me help, I will tell you everything that's relevant to what's happening. And I apologize for the damage that's being done around here. If I had just gotten help before waking them up, things would be going much better by now." "You really do look like the young adventurer. I accept." "Good, we're officially comrades in combat now. Once Bakugo, the guy who is using explosions and, Knuckles, the talking animal are stopped, it should be easy to stop everyone else."

Royal Exorcist Bonnie arrives via fly wing. She has dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and a long green and fancy set of robes and such on: "Thank you for waiting for me. I came as soon as I could. First Varmundt, then the salt pillar, then Demon Lord Morroc's resurrection beginning, then Lucille and now this? May god help us all. Stand back, everyone. I'm going to try to separate all of them." We take a step back and just when it looked like she was going to succeed, Bakugo sends off a giant explosion as Korg and Zed cast some Moonlands spells, these make it impossible for Bonnie to succeed at all: "I failed but there's still hope. Please fight them now." I add: "We have to beat the angriest one of them all first. Bakugo! Your irrational judgement and reign of fear over Izlude ends here! I will make sure that you return to UA as soon as possible. There, Eraserhead can deal with you. Also, I know who you are, Bonnie. We don't have time for introductions or explanations right now." We all join Knuckles in attacking Bakugo. We have him surrounded on all sides: "DAMN IT! THIS IS NOT FAIR! DID THAT DAMN NERD OR THOSE LAME LEAGUE OF VILLAINS GUYS PUT YOU UP TO THIS? DIE! ALL OF YOU, DIE!" It's a flurry of attacks, several people are using the move Magnum Break a lot, Natalie uses Cart Revolution, I use Darkeye Slash, and so on. Raygene is a blonde haired and blue eyed merchanary knight with a blue cape and similar armor to my counterpart's. It's hard to tell from here but if I recall correctly, Natalie has ginger hair and blue eyes with of course Merchant gear on while dragging around her cart full of goods.

Bakugo is doing so much damage that Lord Knight Swiftdrawer has no choice but to keep using HP potion after HP potion and eat a dish of Steamed Crab Nipplers along with using the ability Sword Quicken. I then speak to my artist comrades: "Please help us, symbols of artistic horror to defeat Bakugo! We'll take care of Luis after him!" The 3 come over quickly and Jammer's terrifying music only pisses off the explosion quirk user even more. "IM DONE HOLDING BACK! ALL OF YOU ARE GOING TO DIE! DIE!" With the sweat stored up in his gauntlets, he starts creating massive explosions that knock all of us back and manage to sear my face a little bit. "Ow! That's going to leave a mark! Crap! Just how strong is he really? Between battling many villains, competing with Deku and Todoroki, and being a loud mouthed hot head who sometimes acts very logical, he's got so much in him. I knew I wasn't strong enough to beat him on my own going into this but this is crazy! Just what did the UMC and League Of Villains' attack on UA High School cause him to do? "If it's crazy you want, Bakugo, I will give you some real good! Haaaaaaa! Extremely Risky Spin Slash!" As usual, I get my sword towards the ground and keep spinning in order to create friction and draw in air molecules. The stream of air and flames creates my signature move and a small flaming tornado is headed toward Bakugo: "You can't exactly beat this one easily, can you?! It's velocity may be slowly decreasing but I put in extra effort and speed so now, it'll be hard to avoid, even for you!"

The knights gasp in shock of my attack before Bakugo manages to blast it in order to break it up: "Damn! I kind of expected it to be a long shot but not by this much. But still, giving up is not an option. There are times when you have to risk extreme bodily harm and worse to get the job done. This is one of those times." We fight with Bakugo on and on for 30 minutes, all of us are exhausted but no one appears to be winning. My counterpart is especially beat from using Magnum Break so much. Jammer and Terror Fairy were even defeated by Bakugo. Regnes is the only one unhurt due to his armor and power as a number. But the explosion quirk user isn't done: "DAMN YOU ALL!" Despite the loss of his gauntlets, he raises his hands up and created the biggest explosion he could possibly create, knocking all of us back very far. It seems that Regnes and the other artists were able to knock out Luis cold before coming to us. But he woke up at a bad time as he chased towards me and got caught in the middle of the explosion, knocking him out once again. I curse: "Fuck! Damn it! He broke through a small part of my armor, just enough to inflict serious damage on me. Overall, my armor is strong enough to resist anything up to a Haikai blast from Beerus, Universe 6's God Of Destruction which would destroy it and me completely. That means, Bakugo must have been partially aiming for this spot during the whole entire fight. And I still don't have any HP bananas on me. But, I can't stop." The others and I stand back up with serious expressions on all our faces.

We charge at him together, fighting, countering, dodging, and so on. A whirlwind of destruction was left in the wake of the battle site. The only reason we beat Bakugo was because of my counterpart's support items. This is insane, how was he able to exhaust and beat the crap out of all of us. Regnes even says: "There are no magical energies flowing through Bakugo nor any signs of quirk enhancement drugs circulating through his system." "Regnes, how could you even tell that." "I'm a horror artist, I'm supposed to know what's going on in the minds and even bodies of any willing victims. And as a number, it's simple for the magic stuff. Your hurt badly, Adam. You need medical attention." "Don't we all? Well, besides you. Seatbastian will be the easiest to calm and Knuckes is fine now that Bakugo is knocked out. Quickly, Lord Knight Swiftdrawer! With Bonnie's help, restrain Bakugo!" They nod and work with Bonnie to do that. The other angry individuals are taken care of easily. With my wounded state, I decide to get Rainbow Dash to calm down. I get her attention: "Rainbow Dash, please stop fighting. Look at what happens when fighting gets very far. Look at me. I have wounds and minor burns all over the place. I was lucky to not sustain any 2nd or 3rd degree burns." She turns around as I yelled and gasps herself: "You look terrible! I wish Fluttershy or Twilight were here to help!"

"I agree. Please help with dealing with Luis who just woke up again. If you fly him around fast enough, he'll almost want to spew out his dinner from last night and that will stop his anger." She nods and after making sure I'm okay enough to walk on my own, flies off and takes on Luis herself. Despite his immense size, Rainbow Dash is still able to make him very nauseous. That takes care of him. Korg and Zed were defeated in seconds by Seyren alone. Seatbastian is just calm now. Bonnie speaks: "Most of you look terrible. Give me a minute, I will get an acolyte to help." She teleports away and then comes back with an acolyte who heals all of us immediately: "That's better. You can return to your studies now, young acolyte." The acolyte nods and teleports herself. With that taken care of, The Captain Of The Knights speak to us foreigners: "With the situation now under control, we must talk. Who are you people and how did you get here?" I sigh: "It's a really long story. This area is not ideal for telling it all. A place like this is bad to talk about this kind of stuff. The consequences could put your futures on a wildly different and far more dangerous path than they already are with the antics of the White Witch, Varmundt's continued unconsciousness, and the return of the Demon Lord Morroc." A bunch of stomachs start rumbling, mine included. Seyren laughs for once and suggests: "Why don't we discuss these matters over a feast?" Bonnie agrees: "That's a great idea, Seyren. These adventurers look like they haven't had anything to eat in a while. But I'm too busy to join you. However, I will contact the royal family about this."

Not even 20 minutes later, we're all together in a large dining hall in the Prontera palace, eating a feast: "They said yes just like that and had a feast prepared for us this quickly? They must want something in return." The Captain Of The Knights replies: "The condition is for all of you to help rebuild the part of Izlude that was destroyed in your fight. You must stay in Izlude until that is completed." "That's fair. Now then, I will tell all of you the gist of what you need to know." I begin explaining who we are and where we're from while King Luis digs in so hard it almost makes me lose my appetite and I'm a big eater myself at times. But when I introduce Bakugo, he yells: "SHUT UP, YOU QUIRKLESS TWO FACED LOSER! ONLY I GET TO INTRODUCE MYSELF! Hi, I'm Bakugo AND I HATE YOU ALL! I WILL BEAT DEKU TO BECOME THE NUMBER ONE HERO AND SURPASS ALL MIGHT!" "Yeesh. His power is called Explosion. With the nitro glisterine like sweat he produces, he can cause explosions. I would say something snarky but I'm afraid my funny bone isn't around that often and I don't want to piss him off more. Btw, your cuisine is very good, I'm impressed. Where I come from, a lot of places that serve food care about quantity, not quality. That's it's own can of worms that would be too confusing for all of you right now." "DONT IGNORE ME!" Korg and Zed, inspired by his yelling start yelling too, only at Seatbastian. This sparks Rainbow Dash to join in and then Luis to pick an argument with me: "You rotten anarchist! How dare you think there's another way to run society other than a kingdom?!"

"I had no idea you were so old fashioned or mean before the Tomapieians invaded Miitopia! Just be glad that their former leader is far far away, somewhere where he can't bother anyone again! My lookalike saved you and your adopted daughter at least 2 times and I saved you some times as well considering I helped take down the SDL and Gorganan among others. Funny you say rotten when your kingdom spends more money feeding you than caring for it's regular citizens. There's nothing wrong with being so big as long as you aren't hurting yourself or others but you are so it's wrong in your case. Your words show just how greedy you are." The argument keeps going on until I can't take it anymore: "We're not getting anywhere! We simply aren't compatible right now! I'm tired of this. Screw you, I'm calling Dominic." I get my phone out and apologize to the knights: "I'm sorry but I can't continue explaining in this kind of nutty social environment. I need to contact a friend because we're stuck in this universe. And I have a feeling that the White Witch is somehow tied to whatever reason we ended up in this universe of all places." I call Dominic after none of them object since I promised to explain what a phone is too. It rings briefly before the scientist answers: "Adam?! You're alive! We've been looking for you and a few others. When I noticed you hadn't come out of your room yet, I looked and saw you gone. What happened? Where are you? I can't track your current position at all." "Im so sorry for not calling earlier. Listen, you know that game I've been playing, Ragnarok Origin right?" "Yes! You kept talking about gathering support items from the world it takes place in for a while after dinner last night!"

"Ha, I forgot about that. Anyway, that's where I am. Im located within Prontera's palace walls and when I tried to get myself and the others out of this universe, I just hit the edge of the universe and got sent back!" "Strange. That's never happened before, not even when Quantum Leap was a mere explosive prototype that I was on the verge of losing sleep over many times. I want a nap." "Could you send someone in the fastest ship we have in BRAINS to come get us?" "Give me a couple minutes. Pirate Blaster should be able to get you out of there." I wait on hold and then he returns: "Good news, the upgrades to the pirates' flying pirate ship which he kept reminding me to call the pirates' ship instead of his have just gone through multiple successful tests. That ship is even faster than Overdone Ovenzilla Speed now. And we thought ludicrous speed was impossible and crazy at first! Tomapieian technology has changed our space travels forever. Bad news, we can get the entire pirate crew and the ship a few universes away from Rune-Midgarts in an instant but that's as far as we can help them. Expect their arrival by sundown. You sound worn, do you want to talk about it before I continue my part of the work on the next version of the ultimate vaccine?" "I think I will just tell Pirate Blaster when he and the other pirates come pick us up." "Okay, that's fine. Well, you better not do anything too dangerous while still recovering from 2 days ago. See ya. I need a nap." "Bye." I hang up.

The room is now just filled with arguing that I had been ignoring while calling my dear friend and comrade. Luis is still trying to argue with me. No matter how hard I try to ignore it all again, it just keeps getting worse. My expression goes from calm to angry steadily. My attempts to calm myself do not work and I finally snap: "ENOUGH! BE QUIET AND STOP ARGUING! PLEASE, I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!" The room goes silent. No one expected me to yell like that. I sigh: "It's important to express all offrom our feelings. It seems like I understand that better than most people from where I'm . Anger is something that shouldn't be allowed to be built up through suppressing it. It is necessary to let anger out. However, these arguments are getting us nowhere. What is getting us somewhere is my contacting Dominic for help. Pirate Blaster and the other pirates including Thrashbeak I assume will be here by sundown and their flying pirate ship. Their speed will be so immense that we will barely see them coming if at all. Please quit the arguing. This situation is going to be done by sundown. Let's try to tolerate each other." Bakugo starts yelling again and goes on a rampage with his quirk: "DAMN THIS ALL! YOU BASTARDS! I WILL KILL YOU ALL AND THEN DEKU!" His yelling becomes as hard to understand as the yelling of UA's Hound Dog during the speeches for the beginning of the 2nd semester at the school some times ago so all I really focus on is the destruction he is causing. I make a quick phone call to Pirate Blaster.

He picks up immediately: "Yar har! What are you calling me for, you scallywag you! Haha!" "Pirate Blaster, would it be possible for you to bring a few individuals along to help repair damage mostly caused by arguments and outbursts? Bakugo is here." "Bakugo, you say? No wonder Dominic told me you sound worn! We haven't even left our departure point, the Captainless Pirate Commune of Wild Waters just yet! Don't worry, I will get Bray and some others. She just came back from helping Ender and Shadow deal with an ambush on them. We're here as it turns out, Twisted Land's home Minecraftian universe is the closest to Rune-Midgarts of the nearest ones to Miitopia! Besides, Twisted Land is a major supply hub for the collective in part thanks to you!" "Cool, that's all I needed! See you later!" "Of course! Goodbye! We be singing a sea shanty soon so don't worry about us!" Pirate Blaster managed to put me in a better mood in time for Seyren, other Swiftdrawer, and The Captain Of The Knights to fail at calming and restraining Bakugo. He storms out, the room is in shambles. There goes my bettering mood: "Shit. He's enraged. Hey Rainbow Dash and Knuckles. Could you do us all a favor and confront Bakugo peacefully. No one here is strong enough to beat his explosions apparently. Unless we lured him to Gast Heim or something, there's no way any creature could stop him. Only the toughest and most dangerous creatures living in Rune-Midgarts can. We need a more logical and less time consuming approach. You two understand his pride better than anyone else here. Actually, Raygene does too but he looks like he wants nothing to do with Bakugo."

They agree to that and head out immediately. "If they can't persuade him to calm down, I'm going to them. Anyway, let me continue my explanations of what the hell is with us all. It'd be amazing to have some memory crystals right now but that's a lot to ask for." I go on about how I have been able to observe the events of the moments mostly since Lord Knight Swiftdrawer's arrival to the academy as a mere novice adventurer who took 1 class and graduated it without difficulty after encountering a guardian valkire. That was a pain but worth it in the end. Some time later, Knuckles and Rainbow Dash returned with a calmed Bakugo: "Glad you could rejoin us, hero Bakugo. I'm not going to do anything to piss you off again. If you want to say something, just indicate it and get it off your chest as soon as possible. Be perfectly calm and rational. Now then, let me explain the whole counterpart thing." Bakugo just smirks in response while Knuckles looks very pleased with his work on calming Bakugo just as Rainbow Dash does with her work on calming him down.

"We define a counterpart as someone who is in some way like somebody else in a way much deeper and more complicated than with identical twins, triplets, or whoever else. A counterpart of someone doesn't come from the same time and/or universe as them. Lord Knight Swiftdrawer is my counterpart in this universe. Our counterparts are many and there are so many, we could find one who not only has a completely different name, life, and appearance but also is literally nothing like us at all except for one detailed and complex fact. Counterparts share a bond, especially ones who were split off from the same thing. It's a mess to understand, not even my most brainsy friends fully grasp the concept of counterparts. A common destiny under the right conditions forms for some counterparts. It seems our destinies have a commonality now, Swiftdrawer. My given name is Adam but I use Swiftdrawer as an alias myself. Your name isn't an alias." For 2 more hours, I explain as we all pitch in(except Bakugo) to clean up the room. Seyren says after I'm done: "Do you think it was the Demon Lord Morroc who caused all of you to get here mysteriously?"

"I doubt it. We've been having a lot of incidents with random portals showing up at the worst times and causing chaos the past few months. There is clearly someone behind the scenes, manipulating a lot of what's going on. I'm positive of it. But if it were actually Morroc this time, I can guess why we're here specifically. He wants my knowledge, Bakugo's power, Seatbastian's information and technology, Rainbow Dash's speed, 2 disposable minions namely Korg and Zed, and Knuckles' power. That would also mean somebody has come to this universe to make Morroc aware of us. Or perhaps, a time ripple did. Time and universal travel are real complicated headaches." My counterpart replies: "You thought that all out in the middle of everything?" "Not necessarily. I just know what kinds of things villains want from each of us already. Villains would want your power and knowledge. Not everyone can become a Lord Knight in this world, you have to face many obstacles and trials to get there. Your unique build as one is desirable to those wishing to build a malicious force. They wouldn't want my strength as much due to the fact I have no powers and what I can do has a bunch of drawbacks. I'd love to stick around longer in this world but between Morroc and my own arch nemesis, I really can't stay here. Staying here would bring the pain that is named Yappa Yappa to you and trust me, he's a cruel handful that the White Witch would have a lot of trouble trying to kill."

"I still can't get how you are supposedly able to move me around with technology from your world." "Well then, let's get to know each other a little more until we have to part ways. To explain in further detail is to go back to the oldest form of human communication in my world: oral tradition and from there, the first writings in Mesopotamia and eventually, the modern phone." An hour later, I finish and they look like they understand things a lot better. Phew. I hide the fact that I've had a crush on Seyren while playing the game and such for obvious reasons. Much like how I avoided explaining anarchism. Maybe when I have to return to this world for whatever reason I will. I turn back to my counterpart: "You aren't officially a part of the order so let me ask you a question. Would you like to join the BRAINS Collective? As I explained, we have many benefits for members, even more so than those who don't join but still become our allies. Until your future changes in this world due to our chaotic hangout, we cannot allow ourselves to give you any valuable information or power ups just yet. The fight earlier seems to have not gotten out to the whole world, that's for the best. The White Witch would have loved to capitalize on the opportunity otherwise."

Same time, League Of Villains hangout. "Thank you so much for filling us in about Bakugo. Since he refused to join you, it was a great idea to meddle with a whole other universe where a demon lord is in the process of being revived." Dabi replies to the mysterious figure who watches over everything and plots his revenge with a smirk: "No problem. So, are you going to give us anything to help us destroy this superhuman society?" "Interfering with a world when I don't intend on conquering, causing chaos, or taking anything from it for myself for some years is not interesting. I will give you one piece of information but I doubt it will help your cause that much. I could give away all the secrets the heroes have but what's the fun in that? Having secrets is my favorite pasttime. If any of you manage to die, I might require your services from beyond the grave. Anyway, the top ranked student at UA lost his quirk completely." "How interesting, I thought you were going to reveal something about All Might." "Don't worry about it, one way or another, his society will fall. If it doesn't fall by the hands of anyone alive from your world, it will certainly end when I conquer all. Don't tell anyone about our meeting or anything about me or else, I will return here and behead you right in front of Tomura Shigaraki and All For One. You are no match for me. My link to the force of creativity grows stronger by the day as my full strength gradually comes back after so long. Oh and one more thing, just something for when you're bored. It's called Monopoly. Enjoy it." "A game but why?" "Villains like you hide in the shadows and I know how boring it is first hand. See you someday."

Back to the main plot. My counterpart suddenly looks down, upset about something: "Hey, is something wrong? It's about Varmundt, isn't it?" "Yes, we almost lost him for good and he's still in bad shape." "I don't know what will become of him in the future but just trust your hopes and instincts. I'm betting he will just need to recover just as Lucille said." "Thanks. Yes, I would like to join your organization. How do I get in?" "You're in. Welcome to BRAINS. I will have to come back to talk to you sometime after we fix that whole not being able to teleport here thing. When I come, I will send you a discreet letter. Meet me in the Gast Heim Outskirts when you receive the letter. Normally, we ask for new members from a world without a branch if they want a branch of BRAINS to be created for them but not this time, your society and government are too unstable. Please keep everything about today a secret. That includes BRAINS. We must preserve all timelines as best as we can even if some events happen due to other universes." Lord Knight Swiftdrawer nods and I go talk to their merchanaries and the other knights. As a result, I get to know each of the knights a little bit before it's time for Pirate Blaster to pick us up. We go outside of the palace together and watch as the pirate ship practically poofs into existence. Pirate Blaster waves: "Yarrrr! Everyone, we're here! But before we depart, a couple friends want to take care of something for all of you. Dominic, Bray. Do your thing! Never thought I'd be friends with a bunch of landlubbers, haha! I was raised on the high seas, you see!" Bray and Dominic reveal themselves.

Then, Dominic smiles: "Give us a few seconds, we have a part of Izlude to fix! It won't be that complicated or make me want to take a nap! I promise you all!" A few seconds later, they come back and Lord Knight Swiftdrawer uses 2 fly wings to check and quickly come back: "Amazing. It's like the battle never took place." "And now to fix that dining hall!" Seyren checks and comes back, shocked himself. I turn to all the Midgardians gathered: "Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and not throw us into Morroc Prison in the city of Morroc. I will return one day and if things get bad enough, you'll all get to meet all of our friends, allies, and comrades. We will be leaving shortly so please start the goodbyes." Lord Knight Swiftdrawer despite being even more serious than I am is the only one who hugs me goodbye. After saying all our goodbyes, we are off. By the next morning, everyone is back where they should be, I miss the new friends I made, and an alarm goes off for an emergency: "Attention. This is an emergency. Chima is under attack by a large force, I repeat Chima is under attack!"

Same moment, Boogaloo's office, BIM headquarters: "So Warrior Adam, why haven't you spoken to me about what happened recently till now?" "The next tour distracted me and I had a hard time putting it into words." "Well, if what you're saying is true then we have some enemies from beyond our universe. We must have them join us and eat the holy apple." "Yes master." Meanwhile at UMC headquarters. The place is almost deserted but Pmurt Nedib is still there laughing: "Those fools. Chima's chi will all be ours soon enough. Each orb contains so much power! It's a good thing I got a few so called friends from their world to help us. Cragger's sister will especially be helpful. Now, Yappa Yappa. It's almost time for you to join our forces in crushing the newly unified tribes of Chima. Be careful though, I am impressed with your improvement but that freak Swiftdrawer is probably going to come to stop us."

Outro: Wow, this one was a lot easier to write and I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Yes, I have officially added the game Ragnarok Origin into the mix of things. At first, I wasn't going to but I love it too much not to add it in. Ah yes, there are now 5 factions plotting various things to watch out for: The League Of Villains, BRAINS Collective, United Mining Company, BIM, and the Annihilation Council. Be prepared for I have over 10 more stories planned, one will be a prequel to The Saga Of Fun Land, another will explore the early lives of many of my OCs. See you next time!
