Author's Note - I am completely aware that there are EIGHT OC's, but that will be explained in a moment. Let's Begin!

"I did not begin when I was born, nor when I was conceived. I had been growing, developing, through incalculable myriads of millenniums. All my previous selves have their voices, echoes, promptings in me. Oh, incalculable times again I shall be born."

- Jack London

Jack Carter

He felt pain, unbearable pain. It felt like something was trying to rip him apart from the inside. Then light filled his eyes, and then the pain and light dimmed, revealing a white room, with nothing in it. He found his clothes completely white as he stood. Then something began to materialize in front of him, and he took a step back.

The thing was a person, but with silver skin, golden shorts, and no shirt. Then Jack noticed there was a hole where his heart would be, and a white orb floating there. Its hands were glowing, and eyes were glowing white as well. It's head was a metal skull, and then Jack realized it was a cyborg.

"Hello. My name is Jīn." It said in a emotionless, robotic voice. Then it bowed.

"Uh, hi?" Jack replied, taking a few steps back. "W-what are you?"

"Me?" It stood, and suddenly the walls around them crumbled, and Jack covered his head from the small debris. When he moved his arms, he gasped. The pile of white rubble the two were standing on was surrounded by large obelisks, covered with monitors and keyboards. Turrets, camera, vast amounts of technology, were attached to the obelisks. The monitors buzzed to life, and words flashed on the screens, too fast for Jack to read. The cameras flashed on, and lights shone from the lenses. Small flying turrets started flying into the silver sky.

"I am your first life of the many reincarnations." It said, and suddenly a chair made of metal pipes morphed from underneath him, and he sat down. Jack turned around and saw a similar chair behind him. "Sit please, for we have much to talk about."

"Like what?" Jack asked as he plopped onto the chair.

"Don't you have questions, Thomas?"

"Don't call me Thomas." Jack muttered, leaning his head back. He was not pleased to hear his actual name. "My name is Jack."

"I am well aware of that, Thomas. But please, do you have any questions?"

"Fine. Where are we?"

"We are in your physical body as it is currently passing the Nether."

"What's the Nether?"

"The Nether is the gateway between Earth and Earth's shadow."

"Wait, Earth's shadow? This seems like a video game!"

"I assure you, Thomas, this is no game. Earth's shadow is a mirrored universe of your earth, but with different continents, and a very special power..."

The Jīn leaned forward in his chair. "Bending."

"What the heck is bending?" Jack asked, also leaning forward, interested.

Suddenly, an alarm rang out, and the camera lights turned red. Jī stood up, and both of the chairs disinagrated, and Jack fell onto his back onto the floor. As he stood, he saw Jīn's hands were close together but not touching. A ball of light, flashing many different colors, started to grow.

Then the sounds of gunfire was heard, and Jack turned to where it was coming from. There was a hooded figure walking towards them, easily dodging the bullets. Then the turrets exploded when the man got closer.

"Thomas, you have to leave now." Jīn growled, and suddenly the sphere morphed into what seemed like a long, thick sword with a built in gun. Then armor formed onto Jīn, and Jack noticed it looked a lot like the armor from Halo, except completely silver with large vials filled with silver liquid coming out from the back.

"What? What's going on?" Jack demanded, and suddenly he felt the pain return, and he doubled over, and watched Jīn run at the hooded man.

Then everything faded.

Meghann Wright

Meghann felt herself floating in some sort of jelly. Then she felt herself laying on some grass. She slowly opened her eyes and sat up, to find herself on a floating piece of land. Her jaw dropped, as the floating land was surrounded by other floating land in the clear blue sky. Underneath the floating lands was pure fog, unable to see what's below. The wind flew by, and the chirps of birds filled her ears.

She stood up, discovering that she was wearing some light orange and yellow rode. Then she saw a silhouette on one of the floating pieces of land. She squinted, and noticed it was sitting.

Then the land underneath her started moving towards it, and her heart jumped. As she got closer, she saw that it wasn't a person, but a large white owl. It wasn't facing her, but the sun half coated with fog. Then the two lands bumped into each other, and the grass between then stretched and weaved together.

Again, Meghann's jaw dropped. Then the owl turned, and Meghann felt like her jaw just completely fell off. The person wasn't an owl, but was a woman with a ridiculously large cloak made of white feathers. The woman herself had long white hair and pale skin. Her eyes were huge, just like an owls, and were orange. She wore white robes, and she smiled at Meghann.

"Hello, Meghann. It is nice to finally meet you." She said, her voice sounding like rustling leaves. It was nice, and Meghann walked over.

"Uh, hi. How do you know my name?" She asked, and the owl woman motioned for Meghann to sit. When she did, the owl woman answered, "I know all of my reincarnation's names, Meghann. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Fēng."

"Where are we?"

"This is your spiritual body. Everyone has one, but it varies for each person. Yours is free and shifting, as tie place reflects your personality."

Meghann laid back onto the grass, ands behind her head. "Why am I here, exactly?"

Fēng smiled at her reincarnation, and said, "You are here because someone from another universe has activated the portal, and is trying to bring you back."

"Hold up, another universe? Portal?"

"Yes, there are actually two earths. Yours, and another that has a great power."

"What great power?"

"A power to manipulate the elements, such as Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Light, Shadow, and Energy."

"How is that even possible?" Meghann exclaimed, now sitting up.

"It's possible because-" Then Fēng froze, and Meghann was puzzled, Then she noticed it too, the birds had stopped chirping.

Meghann turned around and gasped, as a dark hooded figure was standing a few lands away. She felt something evil emanating from the figure, and she noticed Fēng was not standing next to her, glaring at the person.

"Who is that?" Meghann whispered. Then she watched as Fēng transformed, the cloak shifting into wings, and hair turning into a helmet. Her robes shifted into thin armor, and a long spear formed in her hands.

"That, is here to take you away." Fēng replied, and suddenly the figure started running at them, jumping on and of the floating plains.

"It's time for you to go, Meghann. I'm sorry."

Then Meghann felt a blast of wind shove her right off the land. She let out a scream, and watched the hooded man sprint at Fēng, who was not running forward. Then a large flash burst as they collided, and Meghann fell through the fog, and everything faded to black.

Bryan King

Bryan felt himself on some hard ground, and he groaned. Ugh, where am I? He opened his right eyelid so it looked like a slit, and he saw a large stone foot. He closed his eyes, only to have them flash open. A large stone hand grabbed his head and he let out a scream. Then the hand brought Bryan up to the golem's face.

The creature was a large muscular man, completely made of stone. He had glowing green eyes, and stone spikes coming out of his back and head. It grinned at Bryan, and the next thing Bryan knew was that he was in a rib-crushing hug with the golem.

"Nice to meet other self!" It bellowed, sounding a lot like Patrick from SpongeBob Squarepants. Bryan, who was being crushed against the golem's stone chest, let out a weak cry of pain, and the golem suddenly dropped him. "Oh, sorry, self."

Bryan was in a lump on the floor, like a crushed frog. His eyes drifted from the ground to the land around them, which were towering mountains as far as the eye could see. To Bryan, it was an even larger version of the Grand Canyon.

"You like? This is your body, self!" The giant bellowed, clapping its hands together. Bryan turned to the golem in confusion, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Tǔ, self."

"OK, what are you?"

"I am the first of your past lives, self!"

"Past self-you mean that reincarnation stuff?"

"Yep!"

"So, I was a golem, and then a human? This seems a lot like a video game..."

"No game, self! Now you are being moved to opposite world to help Avatar!"

"What? What the heck's an Avatar?"

Suddenly, the golem's joy filled face shifted into seriousness, and then turned to one of the mountains. Puzzled, Bryan looked where his golem was looking, and froze. There was a dark hooded man standing on top of a cliff.

The cliff suddenly collapsed, but the hooded man just stood still and the dirt itself was sliding towards the two. Tǔ suddenly started chanting some foreign language, and more spikes started to grow on the golem, and a large granite maul came up from the ground. The golem grabbed it and said, "Self, you must leave. Evil brother is here."

Then Bryan found himself sinking into the ground. He shouted and tried to escape the sinking sand, but it was futile. Then the hooded man ran forward, and leapt at Tǔ. The stone golem lifted its hammer and smashed it into the ground, causing dust to fly, blinding the three of them.

Just before completely sinking, he saw the hooded man in front of him, with a pair of glowing crimson eyes, and grinning with fanged teeth. What horrified him was that he was so...familiar.

Then he sank completely.
