Chapter 31: Thanos' Evasion & A Sci-Fi Lab Tour

"That's impossible! The area in the United Kingdom is super large and he found it right away?!" Lunia asked the guy.

"I had no idea how he found the orange stone. He was not alone, but he brung backup with him too. I have footage of how he got that." The man said as he brought out his touch pad.

"Please. We need to know how, too." Lunia said as she grabbed the touchpad from him.

We all looked at the touchpad to see that Thanos was on the roof along with his minions. They both went over to the stone and we saw one minion try to grab the stone and give it to him. Then Thanos activated a portal and everyone went inside there and the portal went off.

"He escaped afterwards?! How does he even activate portals, anyway?!" Darius asked with a disgusted look.

"I have no idea. I also have no idea where he plans on going anyway." The man said.

"I think he must've used a big radar to find the location of the stone. I may not be right, but he's gotta be using someone or something to find out where it was." Kris said.

"*sigh* I knew I should've provided backup before this even happened." Lunia said with a facepalm.

"Do you need us to bring back that stone, mom?" Scarlett asked.

"He got away, Scarlett. And I'm not sure who Thanos' master is, so it's too late at this rate." Lunia said with a sad look.

"Well, look on the bright side." Zack said. "We have that stone of destruction, right? The apocalypse doesn't start until Thanos and the other villains capture all six stones including the red stone. And besides, our world is hidden so not all hope is lost."

"You actually do have a point there, Mr. Zack." The man said. "But we need to have a total of six stones to get to the bottom of all this and maybe, if it will actually happen, try to reveal who is this mastermind that is behind the stones. It's not gonna be easy, but I surely hope that you six… or eight will become stronger."

"Well… actually…"

"Ahh. My manners. The name's Dr. Adonis Lotus. I'm the laboratorian and messenger of this dimension. I suppose you must be the ladies that Lady Lunia was talking about, yes?"

"Yes. My name's Kaze Matsuzaki."

"I'm her mother, Jordyn Matsuzaki."

"I see. I suppose your last names are somewhat Japanese."

"We get that a lot for us British people." Mom said with a sweatdrop.

He knows Japanese?

"So my deepest apologies for sending you this horrifying news. It happened so quickly that I was honestly scared to report it anyways."

"No no. You are the messenger of this whole world, so you can always alert me whenever there is trouble so I can solve it." Lunia said to Dr. Lotus. "Just try not to panic so that I don't see you acting all crazy and eerie."

"Understood, Lady Lunia." Dr. Lotus said to her.

"So how are the other people from the other dimensions tagging along?" Kris asked Dr. Lotus.

"They should be quite fine." Dr. Lotus answered. "However, they still don't know about the legendary stones so maybe in 11 or 13 days is when things are going to go downhill because of this."

"So will they try to handle the situation on their own?" Scarlett asked.

"It depends. Those villains may have been quite powerful than before. Therefore, I must try to find more ways we can make us even tougher. It's going to require a lot of researching however."

"I still have to be part of this since this is my own dimension and it's my responsibility to make sure everyone and all dimensions are not erased from existence." Lunia said while putting her hands to her heart for some reason.

"Well, for starters, we all know Thanos has that orange stone." I said. "But the location is still not confirmed on where he is going. So I'm thinking we should put that aside for now and focus on the other stones."

"But, why? That orange stone is important though." Darius said to me.

"Well… I may not know where Thanos might be or where he lives, but it may be too late if we get a chance to retrieve it back since he's going to find this mastermind and deliver it to him. And it might take too long and the other villains including Arfoire will try to distract the other people and collect the other stones."

"Well, that goes to what I said earlier." Lunia said. "It may be too late to retrieve that stone of protection so we're gonna have to switch it up and collect the other stones so that the situation doesn't get any worse for this."

"So what do you think, mom?" Darius asked. "Well, the third stone which is the Stone of Healing is appearing in six to eight days. But do we need an army to go hunt down that stone?"

"No. It's going to sound like we're intruding. I need you kids to go hunt it down. Since you guys are smart and strong enough to be up for the task. You too, Kaze."

"Me?" I asked. "Well, since I brought you back that red stone from Primp Town, it would mean I have to do the same for all other dimensions. So it kinda does make sense."

"I can see this as a very big story. Are you sure you can handle this one, Kaze." Mom said.

"I'll be fine. These people are helping me move forward until I figure out this mastermind."

"*sigh* Alright. Whatever makes you happy."

"We're all working together, so… Kaze might be a rookie protagonist since this is her first time taking over as the main character." Darius said. "Besides, what she did back in Primp Town felt like a movie to me. So… maybe she can take it a step further. It's like being in rookie form to MVP form at the age of 16."

"MVP form? I don't really know if she knows all about that. Typically it's kinda sports-related." Mom said.

"I'm not always that recognizable back home, but since I know a little bit of sports and what MVP means, I can somehow understand what you're talking about." I said. "However, don't you think being an MVP takes a lot of hard work, resilience, and intelligence, aside from sports?"

"I mean, you kinda acted like an MVP back in Primp Town fighting the boss of the Puyo underworld and sir "Drools-a-lot"." Alexis said.

"Sir "Drools-a-lot"?" I asked, while looking a little lost. "Oh yeah... I know who you were referring to." I then said after thinking about it.

"It's still kinda weird that he drools. He needs tissues." Lunia said with a sweatdrop.

"Who is this "Drools-a-lot" person if I may ask?" Mom asked.

"That's Ecolo. He's the shadowy blob that drools. I caught him doing that too." I said to mom.

"Oh right. I forgot. Gross." Mom said with a disgusted look.

"Tell me about it."

"So what's going to be our next move, Lady Lunia?" Dr. Adonis asked.

"So without the orange stone due to Thanos gaining possession of the stone, I suppose our next move would be to make some preparations in order to prepare to find the other stones." Lunia explained.

"Preparations?" Zack asked.

"Well, we need to make sure you kids transform into your new forms."

"Dang! I forgot that we can do that. I don't know how."

Darius said.

"Of course you don't, Darius. It's true. I want to make sure that you all know what your powers are or how you are managing your weapons. So we're going to train for a few days until the stone appearance deadline comes."

So, how do they fight?

"To be honest, it's been a while since we've done this. In my mind, I just wanted to improve everyday so that I can make myself successful." Kris said.

"You're not alone." Zack said to him. "In fact, although I never do stuff like this, I just want to make sure things don't go to waste. Especially when I'm around."

"Well, jeepers. You two sure have the confidence alright." Dr. Lotus said.

"Hey, we're doing this to save our world and all the others." Alexis said. "So baddies are going to love seeing my robust fists. I don't care what they say."

"As long as you have the confidence, then I hope you kids can become...MVPs as Darius calls it." Lunia said with a smile.

Maybe I should tell them now.

"So… how do you guys fight?" I asked everyone.

"I was thinking the same thing. Since you five are known as Hyperdrive Cyber Units, you should be able to battle physically, right?" Mom asked.

"Physically? It's way more than just physically." Darius asked.

"Not only do we fight physically, we also do this too." Scarlett said.

We then saw Scarlett, Darius, Kris, Alexis and Zack get absorbed into a bright light. Then moments later…

"Is this real?" Mom asked while looking stunned.

"I gotta be dreaming." I said while looking speechless.

I then saw those five with their hair changed from their original color to a light-blue color. Almost as if they were glowing. Their eyes were also changed from their original color to light-blue eyes. Their outfits… well… I can say they look cooler than usual. For the men, their clothes changed to light-blue and white armor, along with white platform boots but it's very futuristic in terms of looking at it.

As for the women, there were some minor differences. Their appearance looked similar to Lunia in terms ouf their outfit. They wore light-blue, white and black bodysuits that were likely similar to the armor the boys had on along with long white tight gloves and their boots were longer than the boys and the colors were primarily white and secondarily light-blue.

So I'm looking at them like they are robots? The robotic arms, the body armor, their boots. Is this really their next form? I'm not really into science fiction that much, but… this is honestly pretty cool to watch.

"It's been a while since I've been in this form." Alexis said. I forgot to mention that her hair was a little longer.

"So… you guys can actually transform… to this?" Mom asked.

"Yes. In this world, the five of us can transform." Scarlett said. "We are known as Hyperdrive Generational Units. Ones who are far stronger than our normal bodies."

"This is their 5000-gen form. I forgot to point out that the four goddesses… well I don't want to spoil it too much since it's too much information." Lunia said as she didn't want to tell us what the four goddesses also do.

"That 5000-gen form was, of course, researched by me." Dr. Lotus said. "I was doing a lot of planning and testing in order to figure out what is missing or if everything goes as planned. In fact, my laboratory has a lot of…"

"Hey, Adonis, let's stick to that a little later." Lunia said with a sweatdrop.

"Ahh. I should've kept it to myself."

"At least I know their next form. That's what you guys use to fight?" I asked.

"Not at all. We fight in our original form in which we are currently training." Kris said.

"We are about to go on a hot start by the time we are about to go to our first dimension. Preparations are key when doing this." Darius said.

"You guys might wanna go back to your original form, now." Lunia said.

"Alright."

The five of them were absorbed into a white bright light and we then saw them back to their original form. In my mind, this has gotta be the first time humans like those five can transform in another dimension. If this was real-life right now, everyone would go insane. Although I'm not too sure how I would take it though.

"It might come in handy whenever we fight someone strong. This might be useful when we're fighting Thanos." Kris said.

"Let's not get too cocky, Kris." Darius said to him. "Because he can be a serious threat. So a lot of fighting power will end him."

"Yeah yeah, I know. It's just… I hope this is going to be enough to get him erased."

"We may know what Thanos does, but… this may be the second wave so we're going to have to act like we're the new Avengers." Scarlett said.

"I'd still prefer a dynasty, but I'm just glad that you will go to bat for this one since you kiddies know each dimension." Lunia said. "Maybe you kids are going to grab the torch from me since you are willing to grow stronger."

"You're not alone, Lunia." Mom said to her. "Kaze might have the craziest firepower if you need her."

"Hey, mom. I haven't learned any of this stuff here yet." I said, looking a little nervous.

"I know, but even then, you managed to follow through after I sent you to Primp Town, getting back what those people really wanted the most. You can take it a step further If you choose to progress forward. Not only that, you can make even more friends doing that as well. If you can actually trust them."

"I feel like I'm automatically making friends by not doing anything." I said looking a little confused.

"But I've seen you be perfectly confident back in Primp Town. Wasn't Raffina always on your side?" Lunia asked.

"She was, but there were other people who caught my attention because they noticed that I was newhere. Amitie noticed me, Ringo noticed me, Arle, even her friends that came from her dimension noticed me.

"Well, everyone likes seeing new friends. There are many things that you guys can do."

"True."

"Oh yeah, and there was one thing that caught my attention." Darius said. "Because for a minute, I really thought that it was about to happen. Instantaneously."

"Instantaneously?" I asked.

"I really thought that Kaze was gonna date Raffina. And actually be a lesbian. Is that true?"

"H-H-Hold on! You guys heard that too?!" I asked while looking shocked.

"We were all ears on that part." Kris said.

"I would've congratulated you on that." Zack said.

"It would feel weird to see you ladies date, but I decided to suck it up." Alexis said with a sweatdrop.

"Of course you two would be known for fighting, but it almost sounded like Raffina had a crush on you." Scarlett said.

"I was completely shocked too." Mom said while looking at me.

"I-I didn't know where it came from! My goodness! Me and my big freaking mouth!" I shouted while looking away with an embarrassed look.

"You don't need to feel sorry, sweetie. At least, you are all by yourself, you know."

"*sigh* I just don't feel ready, yet."

"You also don't need to push yourself. It takes time."

"I know, but…"

"You know, it's hard to find a man you love, but maybe if you give love a chance... a little bit, then maybe he will come to you." Dr. Lotus said to me.

"I know, but I didn't want to think about it just yet. Don't get me wrong. I know I'm more sociable nowadays, but I'm not just ready for a "romantic" relationship."

"Then you must've watched anime and seen girls kiss before." Scarlett said to me.

"S-Sometimes. I just watch random anime and stuff."

"Random anime?"

"Yeah. It's just… I love magic."

"I figured that."

"Anyway, I just heard that you work with dark magic." Dr. Lotus said.

"It's true. I thought to myself over the past few days that I may be a threat to society using dark magic, but I'm just normally myself."

"You don't need to worry about it, Ms. Kaze. I can tell you are very mature and laid-back."

"Umm… thank you?" I said as I didn't expect that from him.

"So… is that it? Nothing else to see?" Mom asked.

"More importantly, how did you get your 5000-gen form, Although it was researched?" I asked.

"I think we should get straight to the point. Otherwise, we may give them a hard time trying to figure out how to fight all those villains." Scarlett asked Lunia.

"You do have a point. I guess the laboratory is the only way we can answer your question." Lunia said.

"That's right!" Dr. Lotus said with a cheeky grin. "I am also a huge help when it comes to making people stronger. If there is anyone who needs me, just say the word."

"I understand."

"Mom?" I asked her as she knew what she was saying.

"Like I said, I may not have anything to do with this, but I'm really starting to understand this futuristic dimension."

"Well, for the lab, I was planning on helping Dr. Lotus but I'm not that good with chemistry since this is his talent." Zack said out of the blue. "I guess being a scientist, a technician, and an engineer takes a lot of hard work."

"Why?" Darius asked Zack with his arm around him. "You are good at these types of things. You could build a car… maybe fix a laptop, you even helped me fix my phone. There's gotta be more people like you since you working with technology and building other things is a good thing for this nation."

"Yeah, it's reasonable." Zack said after thinking about it.

"Hey, Dr. Lotus. You think Zack can be your assistant?" Darius asked.

"Ehh… it actually depends. He definitely impresses with all the technology and other different things. And this can be an actual improvement for my lab because of him."

Dr. Lotus kinda reminds me of someone. I just don't know who that is.

"Yeah. I agree. But I prefer to talk about this at the lab, unfortunately." Zack said.

"We've been taking up too much time in this area, anyway. We should likely get going." Lunia said, agreeing with Zack.

"I want to see how it's coming along actually." Kris said. "Hopefully we get some new updates."

"It's way too early for that, Kris." Alexis said with a sweatdrop.

"This is starting to sound like an organization." I said with a sweatdrop.

"It's partially an organization, but this is a private domain." Scarlett said to me.


After a half an hour walk, we have now made it to the laboratory. It was still big, but not as big as Lunia's base or Roller Rocket Racing. Maybe by… 2 or 3 feet. I'm not good at size.

"Alright. This is the place." Dr. Lotus said as we had just arrived.

"It looks really nice and fresh." Mom said.

"Thank you very much. I get that a lot."

"So this is definitely real. Although this is my first time going into one." I said.

I guess seeing new things really is special.

"This was totally expected if this is definitely your first time." Scarlett said to me. "Since you read books that involve magic all the time, this will be even better for you."

"Well, I'm actually stuck with just dark magic, but I understand."

I really wanna ask if everyone sees me as a villain. I'm feeling somewhat uncomfortable at it.

Maybe later. I'm just thinking too much.

"I'd take your powers for mine." Kris offered.

"Th-That isn't really what I meant, but… would I look awesome if I had the ability to transform? Not right now. I'm talking about in the future."

"It depends… I think we should get to that a little later." Lunia said.

"*sigh* I hope I don't face another rival when it comes to being beautiful." Alexis whispered.

What does she mean by that? Is she mentioning me?

"So with all of that aside, allow me to give you ladies a grand tour of my own lab." Dr. Lotus said.

And with that, we all followed Dr. Lotus inside and there were… a lot of gadgets and ENORMOUS tubes in here. I just couldn't believe what I just saw. It's like it's a newer generation here.

I know she's not part of this… but I wonder how Blue is going to take it if she noticed this.

"So first off, these are my lab reports. I do a lot of testing and results for new gadgets that I build."

Sounds simple. It kinda refers back to when I was doing those Soda Volcanoes to Raffina. It feels kinda different in a way.

"I see. I know most people do that sort of stuff." Mom said.

"Of course. I know your world says it all. In fact, Lady Lunia told me all about it. Or was it…"

"No Kaze went to Primp Town and they were working on an experiment." Lunia said.

They knew what I was doing too?!

"Wait, were you all working on a project?" Mom asked me.

"Y-Yeah. I was working with Raffina on making a soda volcano and we passed. Somehow."

"I see. that's really great to hear."

"So what I have next is my laboratory equipment. I use whatever is needed for important projects. And then next we have my touch screens. It's for researching new inventions and test results that are on here when doing new inventions."

"Isn't that… oh wait, never mind."

"Is something the matter?" Dr. Lotus asked me.

"I got a little confused there because I thought the lab reports were your test results."

"Well, it's where I write them down. The touch screens are analyzers for my new inventions. They are perhaps like… machines."

"I see." I said after thinking about it.

"You'll get what he means by that when he's doing a new invention." Scarlett whispered to me.

"O-Ok."

"Next up are my upgrade requirement storages. I use these for the listed items that are needed so that I can upgrade whatever is needed."

"I see…" I said looking a little confused.

"So what do you usually upgrade if I may ask?" Mom asked.

"I upgrade weapons, items, all that other stuff." Dr. Adonis answered.

"This is mostly similar to RPG games." Kris said to us. "This one is definitely more useful. I gotta try that out if I were you."

"W-Well only if I can find something that is needed." I said. "I can't rush in order to upgrade something."

"You don't need to rush for anything." Lunia said to me. "Dr. Lotus knows all the locations for where each part is hidden so there's no need to worry what part is where."

"Ok. So this is like using a radar then." I said.

"Yup. Every part that we need to find badly, just say the word. He's right here waiting for you." Darius said.

"Well. Hopefully I don't mess up a spec."

"We can do this. Don't worry." Alexis said. "The boys can be a bit stupid and clueless, but we will still be able to try our best to find the parts that we need."

"*sigh* Here she goes with the hating. This is what girls do best around here. Alexis. Worse."

"Oh go cry me a river, Darius. You are always lazy for a change."

"I'd take three against one. Zack can bring the final blow." Kris said.

"E-Erm. Well…"

"Can you guys simmer down a bit?" Scarlett asked with a sweatdrop. "We all are gonna do this, Kaze. Don't worry. We just need to stick together and succeed at any cost."

"Ok. I understand." I said with a nod.

"So the last thing that I have in stock is the one and only…"

"You're gonna love it." Kris said.

"The human transformation tubes. Yup." Dr. Lotus said.

"Wow. So… this is where you got your… 5000-gen form?" I asked.

"Mhm. When those kids were born, we taught them how to transform. It just brings back memories when you were little. Especially you Scarlett."

I then saw her with an embarrassed look on her face. I could tell that she was reflecting from her past.

"Did something happen, Scarlett?" Mom asked.

"To be honest, I don't want to talk about it. Not even a sentence." Scarlett said.

"She was too scared to get on that thing because she felt like she might die." Darius said.

"Nooo! Don't tell them that! Ugh, all the hell!" Scarlett facepalmed in defeat.

"Language." Lunia said to her.

"*sigh* Sorry. I'm just… It's still scary… to me."

"You're 17 years of age and you are still scared of that thing." Darius said. "It's not going to take your blood away, for crying out loud."

"He's not wrong." Zack said, agreeing to what Darius has said.

"I know that, but still…"

"You don't have to be in it anyway." Alexis said to her. "It was just a flashback to how you first got on it. So it's done. It's over with. You don't need to think about it anymore."

"I do kinda feel bad for you." Mom said with a sweatdrop.

"Although I'm not affected by what that thing does, I still kinda feel the same way. For you I guess." I said.

"All I know is I'm happy that I get the opportunity to transform in order to defend myself." Scarlett said. "Although I don't do a lot of physicality, I sometimes think of this as my last resort. However, I don't engage in throwing a fit when I'm outside with people that I don't know that show disrespect since they know me pretty well. Plus my personality."

So she's just like Ciel of course. Ok, maybe I should stop referring to people so much.

"Speaking of trying to transform, I was going to continue progress on the transformation tubes. It's halfway finished." Dr. Lotus said.

"Understood. Just keep doing you." Lunia said.

"But… it looks finished though." I said looking confused.

"It's going to be upgraded'' is what I meant." Dr. Lotus said.

"It'll be released once he's finished. It's still a lot more to go." Lunia asked.

"Ok. Do other people get on it?"

"Well… it's just them 5 kiddos." Dr. Lotus said while looking at them.

"Mom was leading our army when we were little,

and we were just in school, which we actually do go there if you ask us." Scarlett asked. "The five of us didn't want to interfere with Mom's job as the ruler of this dimension because it would feel like we would be sparking a war over who is more responsible. I would kinda feel bad for myself if I lost my only sister and three brothers."

"*yawn* It feels like a documentary." Kris said.

"The heck's that supposed to mean?" Alexis asked with an annoyed look.

"I don't know… I'm just spitting random words."

"So you kiddies were in school, huh?" Mom asked. "I'm actually surprised to hear that."

"Heck, everyone's gotta be smart. Otherwise we would've been the opposite of how mom is." Darius said.

"I was going to prepare them for the real world." Lunia said. "Well… it only depends on what you love to do mostly."

"Yeah. I get it."

"But in order to do that, we must try to focus on the current task at hand. Just so that I can live peacefully." Alexis said.

"We will. Kaze somehow went to another dimension and helped us gain momentum. She can be useful with us on her side." Darius said.

"Well I can be smart at some things. When it comes to fighting… I felt all of this was just a warm-up since dark magic was a thing for me." I said. "When I first wanted to figure out what element I wanted to use, I said to myself that… shadow powers were the only thing that came to my mind since I loved the color purple so much. And I was also thinking that all of you were going to see me as a villain, which is…"

"No no no, you are completely innocent." Everyone said.

"Oh…"

"Well… one half of me is looking at you being a villain. Another half of me is looking at you as an innocent being." Darius said.

"I knew one would say that." I whispered to myself.

"Not that you are 100 percent a bully."

"No no I totally understand."

"Ok so… is that all there is? Nothing more special?" Mom asked.

"There's… still more stuff that needs to be researched which I can get into a little later, but this is all I have at the current moment. It's kinda similar to living in a room with nothing to sit on." Dr. Lotus said.

"I don't think it's that bad. To me." I said.

"You do?"

"I also say the same thing." Mom added. "We both have never been in a lab before, but I think it's perfectly fine the way I look at it."

"I have no problems with it either." Lunia said to him.

"Ok… I thank you for that then."

"Although I'm kinda certain that when you guys transform, you look really strong and powerful." Mom said. "I wonder if Kaze can become stronger. Although she has the ability to use dark magic."

"Well… it'll get better… for her later." Lunia said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I'll provide a way to help you get stronger to go off to a fast start as you journey through other dimensions for the other stones. It's going to take a while though."

"Oh…"

"It won't take long. It's just there are other objectives that need to be done so we'll alert you when we're ready." Dr. Lotus said.

"Ok… is it ok if… I can bring a friend over another time to show him or her around?" I asked Lunia.

"Sure thing. Is he or she a longtime friend?" Lunia asked.

"Well… I gained three yesterday, but I only want to bring one over because I want to show that person how cool your dimension is. So it wasn't a long time." I said.

"I see."

"But how are you supposed to get in contact with your friends?" Mom asked me.

"I'll ask them. They probably have phones. " I said.

"Well… the more, the merrier. This person may not know what this dimension is like but I guess having another person around can make things more comfortable." Zack said.

"Y-Yeah. You can say that again." I said.

"I don't have any problems with a friend coming over. I predict that he or she is going to be psyched." Scarlett said.

"I'm gonna have to see what he or she thinks first." I said. "You want us to part ways now? I'm ready to go eat now."

"Leaving so soon?" Dr. Lotus said.

"Yeah. After taking a first glance at this world, getting to know more about the legendary stones, and participating in roller skating makes me kinda feel… a little tired." I said.

"Sleepyhead." Mom said.

"Meanie." I said with a sweatdrop. I heard a few people giggling.

"Is it ok if we can keep the walkie-talkie like thing?" Mom asked.

"Of course. You might need that anyways." Lunia said happily.

"Alright, Kaze. I hope you stay safe out there." Darius said.

"We'll meet again, Kaze." Scarlett said.

"I'll face you again at Rocket Racing another time." Alexis said.

"See you later, Kaze." Zack said.

"I'll catch you later, alright?" Kris said.

"Seems they took a liking of you." Mom said to me.

"As friends, yes." I said as I brought out the walkie-talkie thing.

"By the way, it's called a Telecator." Lunia said.

"A telecator? That's kinda weird to say but thanks for telling." I said.

"Dr. Lotus came up with that." Alexis said with a sweatdrop.

"It was still pretty fun to come to your world." Mom said.

"Yeah, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I'm just hoping you two would be just fine." Lunia said.

"So how should I keep in contact with you?" I asked.

"The telecator is like a phone that you have. I'll alert you when the first stone has arrived and we'll help you get prepared."

"Alright. I'll see you around, Lunia."

"Later, everyone." Mom said.

"Bye." Everyone said.

"I'll be in touch!" Lunia said as she waved to us.

And so, the two of us went inside the portal and traveled back home from Hyperdrive City. It was really fun to interact with all seven people since they know so much about me. But to learn that I'm going to be traveling to the next four dimensions is going to be a long train ride. Since the appearances of the other stones are going to take a while. So I must be prepared. Because something wild is going to happen in the next several days.

Hopefully I can get my hands on all of them before the mastermind and his or her thugs do. Even though Thanos took one of them.

Author's Note: After learning that Thanos has escaped with the Stone of Protection, the gang decide to let him evade with the stone in his hands and focus on the other stones. But some of y'all might ask where Thanos might go after that? You might not know. Just gotta keep reading to find out.

So that's all there is to it. No important updates so far. I'll reach out when something comes up. Be sure to stay safe from COVID, comment, favorite or follow this story if you are enjoying it so far, and i'll see you guys in my next chapter. I'M OUT!
