Ch41: The Realmwalker's Portal
Once we all had a great night's sleep and after getting our armor back on, we were then woken up by Tyrael, who was accompanied by a person that looked too similar to Cydaea to not be her. She had white skin all over, luscious, full lips, a big rack of DD, long, black hair, and wearing a sexy kimono. I had no idea that someone could make a kimono sexy, but Cydaea proved that it was possible. "Hello. It's time that I tell you how you are all going to return back to Lisa, Janet's, and Ortensia's world," Tyrael said as I reached into my purse and grabbed the newly-revived Ortensia. She was extremely tiny, being only 7 inches tall, and I had to dress her in doll clothes for her to be covered. She was still there, but she was now the size of a barbie doll, something that she would certainly need to get used to.
"In order for you to return home, there is only one way to get you out of this world and back home. There is a certain creature in Pandemonium known as the Realmwalker, a creature that is made of stone and has a portal at it's center. Once defeated, the portal can be tweaked to go to any dimension imaginable. The only issue is that those that venture through can NEVER return back unless they have a Town Portal," Tyrael said. "Well, I don't think we need a Town Portal for this instance," mom frowned. "Yeah, we'd miss you all, surely, but we don't need an incident like this to happen again. Where a person is warped from your world to this one," Aria frowned.
"Yes... indeed," Kuelle frowned. "Now, we need to decide this here and now: who all is going back to our world with us?" mom asked. "All those who wish to go to my world with me, raise your hands," I said, seeing the hands go up and seeing who wanted to come along. "Okay, so we have myself, mom, Leah, Serena, Lilith, Cydaea, Ortensia, and Hael. Everyone else will stay here then," I said. "Um, you forgot one more hand..." Serena frowned as she looked behind us to see a hand from someone else. It was the hand of someone I didn't expect to see. It was the hand of Celeste.
"You want to come with us, Celeste? You're an angel after all, and there's no proof of Heaven or Hell in our world," I said. "I don't care. I wanted to come with you ever since you saved me and my sisters from Malthael's madness. I only ask one thing... that we leave my staff here. I want to start anew as a regular person, even if it makes my memory go away," Celeste said with a serious face. "I see... well then, welcome aboard," Leah smiled.
When Celeste left her staff in the well-being of Haedrig to give to a worthy person befitting it's might (and her losing her memory shortly after we moved to Pandemonium), we then explained to her what she agreed to and what we were doing. "So... I agreed to become a mortal in your world with the name Celeste Johnson? And I wanted to journey to your world without my memory intact?" she asked as we came upon the portal to Pandemonium from Heaven, which Imperius looked at us with a strange look. "Where do you think you are going?" Imperius asked me with a growl. "We're going home. Via the Realmwalker," I said to him.
When I said this, Imperius looked absolutely gobsmacked. "You realize that if you are pulled into the portal before you defeat it and tweak it's portal, you will be sucked into a void of nothingness, right? And never be able to come back?" he asked in shock. "We'll be absolutely careful, angel boy... I promise you that," Cydaea smirked lustfully at him. "Hmph. Go ahead if you wish, Maiden of Lust. Our world will be a much better place without you as well," Imperius growled. "Ah ah, that's not my name anymore... my new name for the new world is Aya Cyd," she smiled as we then disappeared into the Pandemonium portal.
Once we got into Pandemonium, we immediately had to deal with the monsters that came out, but they were nothing compared to our group. It seemed that, even without their demon identity, Hael, 'Aya', Lilith, and Serena still had the powers they had before. Lilith could still rush forward very quickly in short bursts and, with her sword, she could slice a Marauder in half with one swing. Serena still had her claw powers, Aya could still charm others and use spider silk, and Hael still had the powers of Diablo, just a little dumbed down.
And then we reached the battlefields themselves, where we needed to find out where we could find the Realmwalker. "So... we all know that the Realmwalker is around here, but how do we find it? These battlefields are very vast and wide and Pandemonium is a pretty big world," Serena asked with a frown. "Simple. We need to find an orange portal... at least, that's what it says on my phone," mom said, her words confusing the others and making me shocked. "Your phone is working mom?! Let me see!" I exclaimed as I looked at her smartphone and I saw that it was, indeed, hooked up to some kind of internet! "Well, if this 'phone' thing is working, I guess that's a good thing?" Lilith asked. "More than that! Smartphones can't work without some kind of connection to some internet source or satellite... so that means that we may be closer to the Realmwalker than we thought!" I gawked.
"Sounds great! Now let's try and find that thing... up. I think I just found it," Leah smirked as she pointed out a few dozen meters away to show that there was a large orange portal right there sticking out of the ground! "Great! Now let's wake the thing up and destroy it!" Leah smiled, before I stopped her in place. "Wait. I think I will go first. We don't want any of us to be warped to a different dimension and I'm the only one with a Town Portal," I said with a frown. "Be careful, Lisa... this thing sounds dangerous," mom frowned. "Just focus on long-range attacks while I handle close-range. And Ortensia? I'm putting you in mom's care for a bit," I said as I took her out of my purse and gave her to mom, a frown on her face the entire time.
"Ugh... I really hate being this short..." Ortensia groaned. "Well, look on the bright side, Ortensia. You're gonna be famous as the smallest person in the world," I giggled at her. "Can you imagine how that may backfire?" Leah asked. "Only if fame goes to her head," mom smiled as she put Ortensia in her purse for a change. "Ugh! Lint? Really?" she groaned as I went forward to the Realmwalker with a frown.
And when I got up to it by only a few feet, it rose out of the ground and roared loudly. "BRING IT ON!" I exclaimed as I sent a Disintegrate right for it's torso, which I saw actually manage to dislodge some of it's rock body! It made the beast roar as it tried to ring me with it's portal, which ended up failing when Hael sent a long-distance disintegrate right through it's foot, making it drop to the right and go off-course from hitting me. "Whew! Close one!" I smiled as I then rolled out of the way from it's other foot and then shot another shot through his torso, which did the deed and sent him down to the ground.
The rest of it's body crumbled and only the portal remained, which turned to the left and then land upright. "Okay, we need to go ahead and tweak it quickly. The Realmwalker will reform after roughly 10 minutes," Tyrael said as he went to the left part of the portal and kicked it a bit until a small slot opened on the side. "Okay, now that we have it open, we need someone with DNA from your world to get the portal to know which world we're going to," Tyrael said. "I know," I smiled as I took my sword and sliced off a small bit of my hair, placing it in the slot with a smile.
And then, when Tyrael closed the slot, the portal changed from orange to a distinct picture. It was a picture of exactly what I saw in my vision! Me and mom's bodies in a hospital! "Okay guys, you should go in now. I will prevent any monsters from entering it after you," Tyrael frowned. "Thanks Tyrael! We owe you big time!" I smiled. "You saved our world from destruction, Lisa Farthing. This is my debt repaid to you," Tyrael smiled. "Got it! Let's go!" I smiled as I grabbed all of my friends and I pulled all of us into the portal at once!
"WAH! W-What the?!" I exclaimed in shock as I awoke with a shock. I was a bit confused at first when I looked around, but I then remembered everything that had happened when I saw what was around me. My friends from Diablo 3 were here and spread on the floor. And two nurses were in the room and were stunned speechless from what had just happened. "Oogh... that was quite a rough ride..." Aya frowned as she looked around her and looked confused. "Wait... what kind of room is this?" she asked. "L-Lisa?! Did it work?!" mom gawked as she looked at me with a smile. "We did it. We returned home!" I smiled at her.
The two nurses looked at me with confusion and shock and one of them said something as my friends began to get up one-by-one. "What the actual hell just happened?! Who are all of these people that appeared out of fucking nowhere?!" the female nurse exclaimed. "Please don't call any kind of security. I know it may be hard to stomach, but we'd be happy to explain if you want," Leah frowned. "I... I... sure... go ahead and explain... we'd believe anything after what just happened..." the male gawked.
