A Collection Of Other Adventures
Seatbelts, Everyone!
Date: November 12th, 2023
A week after Carlos and Roshi worked together to cause some mischief in the Doodlebops universe, it was time to go to another universe. Luckily, now that Greenhorne Castle has become an area that no longer needs governance as of a couple weeks ago, I have less responsibilities now. Greenhorne Castle is a fully integrated part of the Greenhorne Commune. The Fey Commune also in Miitopia is already fully integrated and there's been no need for governance by someone in power for a while there. Therefore, I don't have to worry about anything related to paperwork or governing and have the time to actually visit a certain universe. I contacted Miss Frizzle with some help and got a reply back. She'd be delighted to have me. That's right, I'm headed to the universe of the iconic Magic School Bus. I stop by the cafeteria in the underground base in Miitopia for a big breakfast before I head there. Before that, I did my normal morning routine. Got up, took my armor off, used the bathroom and brushed my teeth at the same time, used actually effective mouthwash, removed the rest of my clothes, got a short but effective shower, put everything back on from my underwear to my helmet and cape, and left my and Herbsalvin's room. At the cafeteria, I got a lot of fresh food. Freshly harvested oranges from some of Mii World's new communal and space efficient gardens. A large stack of pancakes, a large bowl of chili with beans in it, a few slices of nutrient rich bread, and a bowl of oatmeal. With how much training and fighting I do and the level I do them at, I really do have to eat a lot. Thankfully, hunger is no longer a problem in Mii World due to so much hard work. As long as one is on Mii World, they will never have to worry about food or other basic needs.
After I was done eating, Bray spoke to me as I got ready to teleport: "My friend, I know you shall most likely be alright but stay safe and be careful out there." We exchange goodbyes for now and I teleport to the hallway that leads to Miss Frizzle's classroom. "I cast Invisibility." Something I will cover more in a different chapter for another story is that I've been busy improving my skills. Now, I can even use a basic invisibility spell which is a big step considering I had to almost start over from scratch with my magical abilities. I just stood in place silently while patiently waiting. The children enter the classroom one by one at different times. I then see Miss Frizzle walk towards it. She has frizzy red hair that's been affected by static electricity, light skin, green eyes, and a outfit matching the theme of whatever the lesson of the day is. This time, it features what appear to be artistic renderings of different universes. I whisper: "Miss Frizzle. I'm here. You can't see me but you can definitely hear me." She turns in my direction and smiles: "Playing hide and seek are we? How fun! Are you who I think you are?!" "Indeed. I'm Swiftdrawer." "Excellent! Well, I hope you know how to make an entrance because the children will certainly be surprised by you!" "I'm not often mischievous but.. Hehe. I got something good cooked up. I'll be visible again in a few minutes. Go on now, your class is waiting for you." "*chuckles* You're right! Absolutely right! See you in a few minutes!" She then enters the classroom. There, the students stop talking and pay attention to her. Carlos(not my friend Carlos) has dark hair, brown eyes, tan skin, a yellow t-shirt, blue hoodie, red trousers, and black/dark blue sneakers. Phoebe has shoulder length brownish auburn hair parted with a yellow hairband as well as 2 parted bangs, yellow long sleeved collared shirt/blouse, red sleeveless shirt/pants, yellow knee high socks, and brown shoes. Arnold has round glasses, short typical boy's orange hair, green eyes, light skin, blue jeans, blue and white shoes, and a buttoned/collared long sleeve yellow and white striped shirt. Dorothy Ann has light blonde hair, blue eyes, light skin, a violet turtleneck sweater, a skirt with some turquoise, violet ankle high socks, and maroon and white sneakers.
Keesha has dark tan skin, dark brown hair in a similar style as Miss Frizzle's, brown eyes, a oversized dark sweat with a pastel blue stripe, cobalt blue tights, and ballet flats. Ralphie has a round build, brown hair that goes over his forehead, light skin, a red baseball cap worn backwards, lime green t-shirt with a red R, green/black jeans, and red and white sneakers. Tim has dark brown skin, brown? eyes, shirt black hair, blue shirt with a green neckline, navy trousers, and black/mauve sneakers. Wanda has light skin, black hair that goes down to about chin level, black eyes, a pink shirt, maroon vest with two yellow flowers, red/black jeans, white socks, and black shoes. "Attention, class. Today, we're going to be having a guest speaker come in for class." Arnold cheers: "Yes! No field trip!" Phoebe remarks: "At my old school, we never had guest speakers come to class." Miss Frizzle smiles: "Alright, settle down. Settle down. We're going to be talking about the multiverse." Dorothy Ann replies: "According to my research, the multiverse only exists as a theory that's debated amongst many top experts but is often used in fictional media." "You're right, Dorothy Ann! But what if I told you that it's more real than you think?!" Arnold looks concerned: "Oh no.." A few minutes later, my invisibility wears off. I put on my Akatsuki cloak and artistic mask over my armor. With that done, I start walking towards the classroom door silently and menacingly by allowing a small portion of my inner darkness to manifest as an aura around me. Meanwhile with the class, Miss Frizzle smiles: "Now that we've discussed some things about our wonderful multiverse, it's time to introduce the guest speaker! They should be at the door right now!" I knock on the door. Ralphie starts walking: "I'll get it!" He opens the door and is immediately frozen in fear.
The rest of the class walk up to the door too with Miss Frizzle and Liz, the lizard just behind them. Arnold trembles in fear: "Miss Frizzle, are you sure this is the guest speaker? This can't be right!" She just smiles and doesn't say anything. Phoebe gulps and speaks to me: "Just who are you?!" "I'm many things. I am a member of the Akatsuki. An organization that hunts bounties." A silence falls. No one is willing to say anything. The class try to escape. "Oh but dear children, there's no escape. You can try to run past me by ducking under me. You can try to climb up to the vent tunnels. You could try to open a window and crawl out. But it doesn't matter what you do. *performs hand signs* Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu." Soon, there's no possible way for them to escape. Despair fills them even as Miss Frizzle continues to smile at them. Dorothy Ann speaks: "..Shouldn't we call the police?" "Such an action would be pointless. I could decimate them in seconds. You're all mine now." After I let fear continue for a few minutes, I happen to yawn when I say: "Okay, that's enough frights for one day. I'm withdrawing my shadow clones now. *performs more hand signs* Now then, I must state that I'm not just a member of the Akatsuki. I tend to donate the money I earn for hunting bounties to worthy causes in universes and locations where money still remains paramount to intelligent societies." I turn around and remove my mask. After that, I remove my cloak and turn back around, revealing my knightly identity in the process. The class is stunned. Miss Frizzle chuckles: "Wasn't that fun? I was in on it the whole entire time! That was quite the show!" "Well then, I guess I better introduce myself and not explain how I managed to pull that act off because I don't think any of you want to know. I'm Swiftdrawer. And as you can see, I'm a knight. Ironically, in my universe, the current year is 2023, decades ahead of this universe. My story is quite something. A nerd transported into another world with talking animals living in a town together, eventually leading to knighthood."
Miss Frizzle says: "Come on class, to the bus! Swiftdrawer, why don't you tell us more about yourself as we head to the bus?" "Why not? Actually, it's important I do so. Y'all are still terrified of me. I don't blame you. A fully armored knight is still quite the imposing presence even if you can actually see their face despite them wearing a helmet. Naturally, I have ways to fix this. *we start walking to the bus and I remove my helmet before putting it away for now.* This should help." As we head to the bus and get situated with Miss Frizzle in the lead, I talk about what some of my interests are real quick before recounting the Jungle Jim's and CiCi's incidents that happened because of one of my friends. That eased the tension and now, no student was afraid of me. I put my helmet back on and smile as Miss Frizzle says: "Seatbelts, everyone!" I reply: "With the weight of my armor, that won't be necessary for me. I hope I'm not causing the Bus any strain." "Don't worry, the Bus is doing a-okay! Now then, it's time for a field trip!" Arnold complains: "But I thought Swiftdrawer was going to speak as we drove around." "Oh no, Arnold. We're going to do something more exciting than that!" "Indeed. It's true that I'm the guest speaker but your teacher will still be doing most of the talking. Unless she doesn't know something about the multiverse. In that case, I will do all of the talking." Miss Frizzle goes over the entire Multiverse Theory as well as popular media that depict the multiverse such as DC and Marvel. We pass by a museum. Arnold points it out: "Awwww! Why can't we just go on a normal field trip?" A few minutes later, we pass by a renaissance fair. Wanda points it out: "Swiftdrawer! You would be perfect in there!" "That's true except if I were to participate in any of the games or the events featuring stunts, sword fighting, and so on, not a single person would stand a chance against me. Now come on, Miss Frizzle. No need to tease them anymore. I know what the Bus is capable of. You and your class have seen microorganisms up close and personal, stood by real dinosaurs, and more."
The Bus changes in appearance, causing all of the students to wear superhero like outfits. Arnold complains: "Why can't this be just a plain boring field trip? I knew I should have stayed home today." The video screen at the front of the Bus displays the faces of Yusei, Yuga, Dominic, Bulma, and others. Yusei starts: "I hope you don't mind." Yuga continues: "But we made a few adjustments to the Bus." Bulma continues further: "It was done discreetly earlier." Rakshata finishes: "The very concept of a magical school bus is very fascinating in itself. Very interesting. We are well aware that the Bus has had a few incidents of breaking down. We have improved the performance of the Bus while also giving a boost to the magical abilities it possesses through advanced technology. Now, it shouldn't be any issue to cross time and space at the same time in the Bus. That is all, you children will meet us in person at some point. Now then, I must go see what the earl of pudding is doing." The video screen turns off. I smile: "Those were some of the smartest individuals from across the multiverse. And no, we better not go to my universe. My Earth is far too dark and depressing for a field trip no matter the good that's in it. Don't mind my words too much, we can't do anything about it here. Anyway, I think I just farted." A couple minutes later, Wanda says: "Miss Frizzle! Come on! Let's go to another universe!" "As you say, Wanda! To another universe we go!" She presses a button, causing the Bus to enter a newly formed portal to the Justice League Animated Universe. We appear in the Watchtower. Wonder Woman happened to be walking near the spot we appeared. She spots me after we get out of the Bus. "Swiftdrawer, it's been sometime. You're doing well, aren't you?" "I'm trying my best, Wonder Woman."
Ralphie cheers: "No way! It's a real superhero in the flesh! Wonder Woman! No way!" The Flash appears from out of nowhere: "Hey so you managed to get the Magic School Bus here after all, huh? Hi there kids! I'm The Flash!" Dorothy Ann says: "Is this really another universe? It's possible that superheroes exist hidden in our universe." Batman walks over: "Does your universe contain a Gotham City?" She shakes her head no: "I didn't think so. You children really are from another universe." The Flash says as he walks away: "Don't mind Bats, he's always like that." Wonder Woman nods: "It's true. Many women would find him the least charming man of all time." Superman flies over to us: "That's Bruce for you, alright. Hello children, my name is Superman." Suddenly, alarm bells ring. J'onn's voice rings out throughout the entire Watchtower: "Attention all Justice League members as well as our guests, Brainiac is headed to the Watchtower. Please advise." Superman frowns: "So it wasn't enough for him to try to destroy the Kingdom Keepers' Earth, huh?" Wonder Woman sighs: "I thought we destroyed him in Tomorrowland." "Apparently not." I sigh too: "Well, I suppose I should go help stop him again. But this time, we must capture any fragments of him that are left behind." Miss Frizzle asks: "Would it be alright if the children and I explore the Watchtower while you're away?" J'onn speaks telepathically to all of us: "All Justice League members who are available as well as Swiftdrawer and reinforcements from other universes are needed to fight Brainiac at the moment. You may explore the Watchtower since that would be optimal for your emotional states given the situation and your inability to help us fight Brainiac but be careful. Don't go into any dangerous rooms, restricted areas, or anywhere else that isn't safe for children. You may shrink as much as you desire but once again, be careful."
I power up with my Ki: "It's a good thing I finally learned how to fly using my Ki. But I won't be able to do it for long so let's hurry this up." An intense but short battle with Brainiac occurs. Under the combined efforts of everyone who was gathered to help, we defeated him in a couple of minutes and managed to capture every piece of him we could find. Brainiac is very hard to kill. As long as there's even the smallest piece left of him, he can fully regenerate his form and even duplicate himself. He looks basically like a cooper green robotic alien with a sci fi outfit. 20 minutes later, it's time to go to another universe. The next one we go to is the Code Geass universe or more specifically, Tokyo. We get out of the Bus with the students wearing Ashford Academy style outfits. Lelouch grins at seeing us. Rakshata and Lloyd are right behind him with Kallen, Suzaku, and Nunnally. But then, my Artist's Eye flares up suddenly: "Give me a moment, y'all. I need to go somewhere real quick. I'll be right back."
I teleport to Twisted Land and once there, stare at you, the reader. "I have to interrupt this adventure for a quick emergency alert relevant to the universe I'm from which should be the same one you are from as well. It's about the Kids Online Safety Act. They're trying to get it passed incredibly fast this week. If you thought YouTube's sudden compliance with COPA or however it's spelled or the ditching of net neutrality was bad.. This is far worse than any of that. KOSA is not a good bill. It may seem that way with its name and bipartisan support. If you read Perfect Cell Vs. KOSA, you should know how bad it is already. If you didn't or need a refresher, here's a quick summary. It seeks to censor the internet, making it far easier for state governments to ban things like queer and sexual content online. It's pure evil. Go to act./action/call-congress-to-stop-kosa if you are willing to call your representatives if you live in the United States. You can also email them amongst other things. This is not a drill. This emergency likely applies until November 20th, 2023 at the latest but I hope you do something. The quick vote can be stopped with just one senator. There's also the contact your representative page on congress.gov. Check that out too in order to find other contact info for senators. Please, this is so very important. If KOSA passes, you can kiss your digital life goodbye if you ever dare do anything that is the target of the intentions behind KOSA. It has failed in the past but it keeps coming back. They want it to pass and won't stop until it passes or is somehow completely destroyed."
I return to the Code Geass universe. Remember my words. This is supposed to be a fun chapter telling of my adventures as a guest in the Magic School Bus but I had no choice other than to make a statement about KOSA here. I'm not going to say anyway other than to explain I'm not saying it. I get back like I was only gone for a brief moment. Rakshata says: "Well, Swiftdrawer. That was fast." "Yeah. Being able to travel through space and time is helpful. What I had to do killed the vibe but I had no choice but to do it." Miss Frizzle smiles: "It sounds like it was important. I'm glad you chose to do it when you did and no later. Well then, where are we now?" Lelouch grins again: "Welcome to our universe. It's very different from yours." Someone tries to attack him. He stares at him: "I, Lelouch vi Britannia command you. Lose consciousness." The would be attacker loses consciousness." Nunnally speaks: "That's my brother for you.." Lloyd adjusts his glasses: "My my. It's the Magic School Bus in our universe. It seems that the improvements are working quite nicely. It's a shame that this world has gone through what it has gone. At least we have world peace." Miss Frizzle exclaims: "How wonderful! This really shows how different the Earth is in just one other universe! It's all caused by a variety of factors such as the timeline splitting due to individual decisions!" Carlos replies: "You know what they say about different uni-" "CARLOS!" "But I wasn't even finished!" "Settle down, everyone. *chuckles* Well, what fun is there to be had in this universe?" Nunnally smiles: "We're having a party at the Ashford Academy. All of you are invited to join us." We do so and have a good time. The students, Liz, and Miss Frizzle start getting tired as we return to the Bus. "Alright class, it looks like it's time to bring you home." "Not just yet. There are ways in other universes to go through a full night's sleep without actually going through it! I don't have any sleep replacement potions on me at the moment but we can go to the Sims 4 universe to get some."
Arnold yawns: "I don't want to go to any other universes! I just want to go home!" Just then, an interdimensional demon appears out of nowhere. Beerus appears out of nowhere, yawns, forms a purple energy ball, and flatly states: "Haikai." The demon is erased immediately after the ball hits them. Beerus yawns again: "Okay, now to return to my universe and enjoy some delicious instant ramen. How do humans make their food so good? I still don't quite exactly understand that. Oh well." He teleports away. Wanda laughs: "Sorry Arnold! Miss Frizzle, do it!" "If you say so, Wanda! To the Sims 4 universe!" We soon arrive to the Sims 4 universe. We get out with the students now wearing their normal outfits. I look around: "Okay. No one's on fire, getting abducted, starving to death, being frozen with a freeze ray, eaten by a cowplant, or anything else like that around here. That's very good for us. This is the Sims 4 universe. Follow me. We're going to a specific house." A few minutes later, we arrived to the household belonging to the Wacky Clowns where Fluffy Afro is currently failing to cook a meal. "Fluffy!" Banana Rick Not An Alien is very busy laughing at his failures. Banana Pants is causally levitating. Pickle Pants is not here. Might be scaring the neighbors with his alien identity. Pickle Rick Not An Alien is doing weird alien things. Fluffy stops failing at making food and puts what he was trying to make down. Pickle Rick puts it in the garbage right after that. "Swiftdrawer! Hey! So you got them to come here. They're tired. I'm failing at making food. What a world. If you want the stuff, it's in the basement." "Oh no.. Not the basement.." Carlos asks: "What's wrong with the basement?" Pickle Rick goes down there. I point and say: "Just watch." We watch. A minute later, he comes back up looking dazed.
He starts verbalizing: "Ooooooommmmmmmmmmmm..." and ends up walking right into the wall, falls down, gets back up, and starts trying to walk through the wall again. Fluffy laughs: "That's the basement for you! I'm not wacky right now so let me lead you to the protective equipment needed to go down there!" He leads us and right as we start to put it on, Fluffy starts holding his side and does the peepee dance. He complains in simlish before walking to the bathroom. As we finish putting the gear on, we hear him scream and sing on the toilet. "Don't mind him, this happens more often than you think. I mean, all of us have that kind of time on the toilet every once in a while." We go downstairs and I direct them through the mess and chaos to the cabinet full of sleep replacement potions. "As you can see, there's a lot of stuff down here. The Wacky Clowns have started to do weird things and research down here based on stuff from Pickle Rick's home planet. Let's just get some of these potions and get out of here." 20 minutes later, we're all set to go to another universe with everyone now fully rested thanks to the sleep replacement potions. Fluffy Afro and The Wacky Clowns wave to us as we go elsewhere. And by elsewhere, I mean Twisted Land. Or more specifically, a now empty and flat piece of land in Cartoon Lake across from the brand new Candy Rush roller coaster. We exit the Bus. "Welcome everyone to Twisted Land, a theme park of my creation. As we explore the park, I'll tell you the gist of its story. Let's just say it's a lot. We could be here for hours doing everything." We have a good time at Twisted Land. Arnold screams and runs away a lot. Dorothy Ann focuses on the designs and physics of everything including being confused as to how the new Cartoon Lake Cafe In The Sky is literally floating. You get the point. After that, the next stop was a lot more chaotic.
As soon as we stepped out of the Bus, we got caught in the middle of a war.. Between screaming goats.. Phoebe exclaims: "At my old school, we never had to deal with being in the crossfire of angry goats fighting each other!" Miss Frizzle says: "As I always say, take chances, make mistakes, get immersed in a war of screaming goats!" "I knew I should have stayed home.." "This is getting too far." I was right. The crossfire was started to become a problem, a safety hazard that could injure the others. I pull out my shield: "Get behind me, everyone! I'm a knight for a reason after all! Once things clear up enough, we need to return to the Bus, and either get out of this universe or go somewhere safer in this Goat Simulator universe!" They do so. We watch as mayhem continues to ensure. Doctor Goat tries to destroy other goats with black holes. Alien Queen Goat throws her explosive eggs at anything that moves. Goat Goat tries pooping on other goats. Feather Goat runs into other goats. Static Goat tries to make everyone and everything static through licking. Dolph Spaghetti tries running over others with their wheelchair. Queen Goat keeps summoning goats to grow an army. Zombie Goat tries infecting literally everything. Evil Goat attracts all kinds of objects, forming a wild thing of spinning projectiles. But that's only just a few of the goats. There's a whole lot more of them than that. Goatville around us is in complete chaos. The people are running, screaming, or are being knocked down temporarily or permanently. After a few minutes, we get on the Bus and nope our way out of Goatville and into another universe. This time, it's the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 universe or rather, a blank sandbox park in it. "Welcome to Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. Where the park guests look terrify and are literally invincible."
It doesn't take long for the students to find the method to create things in the park without actually being players of the game. All kinds of things are built throughout it. Miss Frizzle exclaims: "How wonderful! What a great place to express one's creativity!" I grin mischievously: "Oh just wait until they find out the ways to create complete mayhem. It's only a matter of time. *pulls out popcorn* Want some popcorn?" "I think I'm going to get messy too!" Miss Frizzle runs off and starts making something. That's when I hear several bangs and a lot of screams. I sit down on the ground and start eating my popcorn: "Let the show begin.." Before my eyes, it's like the sky is engulfed in fire on one side but is fine on the other. In some places, there are lions and other animals freely roaming, causing the peeps to run as far away as possible. In other areas, fully fledged themed areas with great rides and theming are coming along nicely. And yet still, there's the vomit comet roller coasters, the dune buggies, and the built to fly off the rails and crash roller coasters. After more fun and chaos, we head to a different universe. Rune-Midgarts. Or more specifically, the magical city of Geffen. "Welcome to Geffen, known as the city of magic. It exists above the ruins of Geffenia which can be accessed through the ancient Geffen Tower, a place where many monsters lurk." Dorothy Ann exclaims: "Wow! I bet I could do so much research on magic here! It doesnt really exist in our universe besides the Bus!" Miss Frizzle looks at a map of Geffen: "That's right, Dorothy Ann! According to this map, there's the Mage Guild as well as the library in Geffen Tower!" "Yep. There's also the fountain in the center near the tower, the Geffen Knights, many merchants, and more. To the Northeast lies the ancient city of Glast Heim. But that's far too dangerous for y'all, even more so than Geffen Tower."
We spent hours there. Good thing I brought extra potions as well as provisions. By the time we left, it was like each student has gained something profound from Geffen. Our next destination ended up being Konoha. "Welcome to the Village Hidden In The Leaves, Konoha in the Land of Fire." Near us, the Inoshikacho trio are practicing together. Choji sees us: "Guys! Let's stop! We have visitors!" Shikamaru sighs: "Alright, fine. But this will cut into the limited practice time we have since I'm doing so much to prepare for Naruto becoming Hokage in the future. We are also on the verge of having Kakashi-sensei become the 6th Hokage." Ino replies: "Relax, Shikamaru. It's just Swiftdrawer and Miss Frizzle's class." I say: "It's a good thing my little plan was shared with the entire collective so the Anbu and others wouldn't consider Miss Frizzle in her class as unregistered enemy ninja. That would have been a problem." Choji's stomach growls. Miss Frizzle: "Sounds like somebody's hungry!" "Choji, you just ate a few minutes ago! Oh what the heck. I'm used to this already." Wanda's stomach also growls: "I'm so hungry but at the same time, I just want to explore this place! It's not fair!" Kakashi appears: "I suggest you eat before you explore. Exploring on an empty stomach isn't fun. Trust me, I've tried." "AAAA! KAKASHI!" "Hey, everyone." Konan appears: "This will be an experience all of us will remember.." Kakashi smiles: "I heard some people are hungry. Follow me. Dinner's on me this time but don't go overboard, Choji." "You got it, Kakashi-sensei!"
Deidara flies in with one of his clay birds and grins: "Hey, I'd like to join as well. Don't worry, I'm not going to blow up anything with my art. There's nothing worth blowing up here when everything here can just be rebuilt anyway." Sakura shows up out of the blue: "Lady Tsunade has sent me here to keep an eye on things and treat injuries if any occur." We have an incident free meal(which ends up being split payment wise by Kakashi, myself, Sakura, and Ino) and start roaming the village together. When we reach Itchiraku, Ralphie drools: "That smells so good.. Miss Frizzle, can I go in there?" "Go ahead, Ralphie!" "Awesome!" I speak up: "I'm going in there! I'll make sure he gets reunited with everyone when the time is right." "Alright, sounds great!" "Of course it does. Besides, I could use a actually good and fresh bowl of ramen. Before anyone asks, I have to eat a lot because not only am I a knight but my state of existence is a little.. weird. Let's just leave it at that." A few minutes later, I'm eating ramen with Naruto and Ralphie. "Mmm! This is so good!" "Believe it! Itchiraku has the best ramen ever!" "I can't say that's not true. I haven't had ramen from many sources but this is by a million miles the best ramen I've ever had." After the Naruto universe, we went to the Juben district of Tokyo in the Sailor Moon universe. It wasn't long until we ran into the Sailor Guardians. Dorothy Ann's face lights up at seeing them: "According to my research, these are the Sailor Guardians from the famous Sailor Moon franchise from Japan!" Miss Frizzle laughs: "You're right! And better yet, they're really here right before us!" Usagi greets us: "Hi everyone! I'm Sailor Moon and these are my friends!" Pluto adds: "I foresaw your arrival to this universe. We have been expecting you." Mars says: "Enough of that! Let's have some fun!" "Sailor Guardians, you should probably transform. Us being here is to teach the students about the vastness of the entire multiverse, existence, whatever you wish to call it." They do so. The students were very captivated by this.
And they got to see them in action too as a villain from an unknown location appears, seeking Sailor Moon's power. None of us knew who they were but with the training and additional education afforded to them by BRAINS, the Sailor Guardians easily defeated the villain. I captured them for the guardians and sent them away with my Quantum Leap band. After that, we visited the following universes amongst others: Roblox, Pendulum, Synchro, Fusion, Xyz, Duel Monsters Spirit World, Sword Art Online, Chima, Ninjago, Tokyo Mew Mew, Granblue Fantasy, Loony Toons, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Doodlebops. After that, it was back to school for Frizzle's class. Once we left the Bus and returned to the classroom, the students got settled into their desks. Miss Frizzle speaks: "Thank you, Swiftdrawer for this opportunity. It's like a whole multiverse of knowledge has opened up for all of us. And class, how was the field trip?" They all gave excited answers and thanked me as well. "You're very welcome, all of you. But the journey through the multiverse doesn't have to end here. If you are willing to hear me some more, I will tell you about something top secret you must never tell anyone else about. Okay, make that more than one top secret things. After everything you've seen, I believe it's finally time for you to be able to handle what I wish to share." "I shouldn't have said I knew I should have stayed home but please tell us!" Wanda adds: "Yes! Please do! I want to go on more exciting adventures to other universes!" "Alright then. Be prepared. This will take a while. *proceeds to explain the real reason I contacted Miss Frizzle to begin with as well as the BRAINS Collective and all relevant information* There you have it, any further questions?" The students plus Liz, the living model human skeleton, and Miss Frizzle all shake their heads.
"Awesome. Well then, allow me to officially invite you to the BRAINS Collective." They all accept. Wordlessly, I get out some Quantum Leap bands as well as pouches full of the basic things we now always give to new BRAINS members. It's expected for a lot of BRAINS members to carry such things around as extras or to give out when new members join. "Consider my bestowing of these items to you all as your initiation into BRAINS. But be careful, you are being given the power to cross dimensions and time periods instantly. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. If you're willing, we could go to the BRAINS space station and get all of you some training in academics and combat and whatever else you want. After all, this universe is going to be invaded soon. We need all the help we can get to fend off such an invasion as well as other invasions." No one objects to that so I direct them on how to use the bands. After that, we teleport to the space station. There, I say: "Welcome to the main base for BRAINS. It is by far our largest. You can see the stars clearly from here. Now that you are BRAINS members, even if you go broke and lose everything in your universe, BRAINS will take care of all of your basic needs. In this base, just about anything you can think of is here or will be here as the space station is always getting something new as it expands in size." Arnold asks: "Does it have a bathroom? I have to go." "Yes, go left and then left again another 2 times and a right. Better take someone with you or read the directory signs or ask the on station artificial intelligence. It's funny, you know. I'm a knight who comes from a modern world and yet is used to this level of technology now. Anyway, don't worry. The AI isn't going to turn on us. AI is not inherently good or evil. The process by which it is created and for what purpose it is largely determines what it's going to be like." While he uses the bathroom, I direct them to the cafeteria on the space station.
"Arnold will be directed back to us by somebody. This is the cafeteria here. Here, we have machines that instantly create meals for us. That being said, the quality of those meals could be just a tad bit better. So if you want food that's even better, there's usually at least one chef around here somewhere who can make something for you instead. The bottleneck even those machines can't breakthrough is the inherent difference in taste caused purely by 2 or more chefs making the same food in the same exact way. This is especially seen with foods that are made with dough and handled a lot by hands before being cooked or baked." I leave them to explore the cafeteria and go sit down just outside of it to do some thinking. That's when the Doodlebops appear from their universe. They wave at me. Deedee exclaims: "Hey Swiftdrawer! Hanging out with you again along with Miss Frizzle and her class was so much fun! It's good to see you again so soon!" "I'm glad to see all of you here too! Actually, you showing up and being so friendly with them has made me think of a hunch I've had lying around for a while. Hold on a second, I'm going to contact some of the brightest minds in BRAINS about the increase to the limit of relationships as expressed by Dunbar's Number due to a variety of factors stemming from interdimensional adventures." I do so through messaging on my phone and quickly get answers back. They confirm my hunch. Bill Nye(the version of him from his famous TV show which is inherently slightly different than him "for real") appears with his short brown hair, tan skin, middle aged appearance, lab coat, bow tie, and more.
"Ah yes, Dunbar's Number! I have experienced the change in it within me as well since I was recruited to join this collective! It's a wonder of science! It seems that exposure to energies such as magic, divine power, alien life signatures, and more cause a minor change in our brains that so happen to greatly increase the number of relationships we are able to have at once. It's still being researched at the moment but wow is it cool! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go do some more experiments! See you around, everyone!" Miss Frizzle and her class had by this point joined us quietly and heard everything Bill just said. Miss Frizzle says: "Well, that really is fascinating, wouldn't you say?!" I nod: "It really is. After all, for such a profound change to the way the brain fundamentally functions through hard to notice smaller changes outside of simply the brain's natural development to occur is just baffling. But once we understand magic as it's own thing that isn't exactly part of physics or quantum mechanics, it isn't as baffling. Magic is a form of energy that changes things even more so than chemical reactions or quantum mechanics. Hmm, I'll have to ask someone to teach you kids more about magic, physics, and quantum mechanics. I'm far from number one on those subjects. Believe me." Moe adds: "I think I've already started to have this change occur in me!" Rooney stares at him: "No, I don't think so. Wait, maybe you're right! After all, we've been making a lot of new friends lately!" "I hope that means more than just meeting to and talking to new people. Going further to establish even a seed bud of a bond that is much potential to grow into a beautiful and healthy flower."
Deedee says: "Hey, why don't we all work together to write a song about this!" Fluffy Afro comes up to all of us: "I'm not wacky right now. But here's a better idea: let's get anyone and everyone who can make good music in BRAINS together to make a song about this phenomenon!" Madeline happened to be dragging along a dejected Carlos(my friend, not the one who makes bad jokes) nearby and hears this: "ONCE I TEACH CARLOS A LESSON, YOU CAN COUNT ME IN!" She continues dragging the ninja along. I laugh: "Madeline's giving me Alkali energy." Rooney asks: "Who's Alkali?" "Someone I'm tempted to recruit for BRAINS but at the same time, my universe is a little.. strange, making that pointless unless I find an alternate version of him. One can do all they want in my universe. Beerus could erase the entire Republican Party. And while they'd practically deserve to go out that way with what they're trying to do, that won't work. They'll still be alive as if Beerus never did that. I got the short end of the stick. I'm from the version of my universe where outside interference does nothing unless you count creative people writing about other universes with or without realizing it. Ya know, like me. This condition of the useless of outside interference became a permanent fixture after all of the planes of existence sort of became one in the battle against Gorganan and The Shadow. That's the only explanation for why nothing has changed there due to outside interference since that battle." We continue talking as the musical forces of BRAINS assemble in one place: the park in the Regular Show universe. Whoever thought of meeting up there apparently said: "Because why not." Benson and the others who were working for the park but are now unionized workers who collectively own and manage the park itself are just a few of those who work together to get everything set up.
And of course, Miss Frizzle and the class just had to come along to see how things progressed. When it was almost finished, while closely looking at the entire setup, I walk over to them just as they all sit down after deciding to help out themselves and actually do so. "Well, we're almost ready. The musical cords, the lyrics, the speakers, the guitar amps, and everything else are just about set up. Just need to look for any problems before they happen. Good thing I'm not the only pair of eyes looking at the whole thing right now." Miss Frizzle smiles: "I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic song! I can't wait!" The students agree. Liz and the Bus do too by smiling as widely as Miss Frizzle is right now. A few minutes later, the recording of the song begins. 2 hours later, it is completed. A few hours later, we're all just hanging out on the BRAINS space station, having celebrated the completion of the song which will be for now kept within BRAINS circles. Miss Frizzle suddenly says after some time: "Alright, class. It's about time we head back to our universe and end the school day which never technically ended all this time!" Arnold frowns: "But I want to stay here!" Wonda shakes her head: "Arnold, we have lives in our universe. We can't just abandon them." Tim nods: "She's right. That and as we learned, it's not a good idea to mess with time for fun. We weren't ever supposed to join BRAINS or anything like that. We were supposed to just have normal lives with magical field trips every day with Miss Frizzle." They start filing in the Bus. Yes, the Bus came along with us to the space station initially but shrunk down to fit. I smile at them, it's not often I smile or at least, that's what it feels like. "Farewell for now, all of you. I'll definitely see you all again very soon! Don't be strangers! You're welcome to come back here anytime. I hope this experience will help you help us save your universe." And just like that, the Bus disappears after they're all inside the Bus. I got to hear Miss Frizzle yell in the end: "Seatbelts, everyone!"
