Chapter 12 - The seven portals (7 in 1 chapter)

We teleport to a circular platform, with seven portals in circular position. We enter the portal at our front, and I say "The pattern should be clockwise." And we enter the first portal.

1 The void realm

We enter at the void, and the quest is to find the Void shard, and we find it all over the place, but John says "I know the Void shard, follow me." and he go somewhere, and we follow him.

We go to a very huge castle, and John says that it is the biggest castle you've ever seen in the void. We drop at the front gate of the castle, and the gate is too big, that we can't see the other parts of the castle because of it's size. The guards ready their flaming violet arrows, and the guards shout "Why are you here?", but John don't even know these guys, but he knows where is the crystal.

John said "We are just shadow villagers.", but before we know it, we already wearing black shadow hoods.

The guards open the gate, also the area is so huge, we think that giants live in this place, and the people are only human size, but all of the doors we see are more than twenty feet high.

John says "We are enemies, find the crystal, and let's get out of here.", feeling like he's making a plan. Victor says "Where is the crystal?", but even a whisper, the guards approach to us like we steal a very important thing, but before they react, I have gone, and there are too many summons that they can't underestimate, and the battle begins, we all use our own summoning technique, if Victor's summons will die, it explodes, and if John's summons will die, they'll produce light. The first one is the simple footmen, wearing iron helmets and have leather clothing from chestplate to boots, and they have a broadsword each one of them, and they just attack like a juggernaut but low in health. They keep slicing our summons, even though they're dying because of their idiotic mind. The area is filled with smoke, high decibel explosions, sufferings, breaking of buildings, and the area is like a party zone.

All summons died, and we need to go back, and we see dying footmen, some limbs are cut, and someone literally died. We spare them because they can't attack anymore, but a footman attacks from our back, also, the footsteps are very noisy, and he's screaming for vengeance, and Victor lays a trap, and he explode. Next are the Knights, the Knights wear full sets of Iron, including the armour set, the shield, and the broadsword. The Knights look like they are wise, but I don't let myself being an idiot. They attack us, screaming their castle name "Voidania!" But all cities that we see have names with Void at the start or the end. We also attack them, but Victor warns me to use light shield, then I use light to trap them, and Victor uses fire rain, the circle fills with fire, and they are suffering of heat, but they aren't damaged from the fireballs, and I use a spell from the old man that can make prophecies, and the ground crack, with lava at the bottom,making all of the Knights die, and the heat of the lava is still we can feel it even though we're just seeing it. The floor seals and the Elite Knights come, wearing golden armour called Kryto, and the sword is a double handed Longsword, created by pure diamond, their sizes were double the size compare to us, and they shout like it's terrifying. They dash towards us very fast, but Victor block them using light sheild, and I get the legendary gem, and say the word. There are green energy arrows, damaging all of the elite Knights, and making them cripple. I jump very high to their position, and slice my blade to the ground, and lightning bolts are scattering around them, making them almost dead, and Victor produces a very big lava ball, and the area is filled with lava.

We continue to the castle, but before we come at the front door, a strong earthquake appear, making our brain says that we need to rush. I open the door, and we see the king, the king is very huge, like ten times the size of our body, and he has a very huge longsword, but he hold it one handed, and we dash towards to him, and he's trying to slice us, but we dodge him, and he slice Victor, he's hit, and John disappear to release his summons, and I go to Victor, and disappear. The king keeps attacking at John's summons, and that is his weakness, while my summons produce light to damage him, but the king didn't knew about my summons's effect if they die. I appear directly, and blasted my lightning power to flash the whole room, and the flash is very strong, that seeing it can destroy your eyes. The boss vanish, and it's our time to get the shadow shard.

The shadow shard appear at our front, while walking to it, Victor drink 2 potions, and I get the shadow shard, and teleport to the main area.

I put the shadow shard to the case of shards, and we proceed to the second portal.

2 The undead realm

We enter to the undead city, since we officially joined the TNCG, we go inside of the building, we ask the counter where we can get the undead shard, because our quest is to get the undead shard, and the counter says "Get the top 10 criminals of this city, then you can get the undead shard." He says about the number ten most wanted, and he can also predict where do they go today, and what they'll do. It says that they go to the undead mall, killing every single people in there, so we continue. We fly very fast to the mall, then we go somewhere in the mall, but we don't know the face, so we'll wait. A few minutes later, we hear gunshots, and we run fast to the criminal, and I use homing thunder, and he's hit, shaking his whole body on the floor, and we arrest him. They say that the criminal escaped about six times, and we're shock about it, and also, maybe he memorize the whole mapping of the jail.

The counter speaks at the speaker, saying "Hello everyone, every superhero in duty, please proceed to the lobby." and we are the only heroes on duty, and we proceed to the lobby.

The counter says about the top nine most wanted of the city, she's going to a residential area, and she scams one of the richest person of the undead city. We come to the only residential area of the undead city, and we go to the destination, the mansion is richer than our mayor, that I thought that the richest person in here owns a modern house. We see a short woman, with dirty make up, and have four body guards, and we wait for the transaction.

A few seconds later, the rich man come out from the gate, and the rich man is quite dumb, because the rich man accepts a trade by giving her a big diamond, big as the suitcase, but not as thin as the suitcase, but I see the cash from the suspect, and she says "$50,000" and that's the time we go out, John choke the target, and John says "If you dismiss the trade, she'll be spared, but if it's still be accepted, she'll gonna die!". The rich guy confuses about how much money does the diamond cost, and the bodyguards rip out their tuxedos, and the innards contain too many guns, so I and Victor attack the bodyguards, and the bodyguards have very low reflexes, making them an easy target, and then, I hear a laser gun charging, and it's aiming to John, so I bump the gun and the gun destroy a house's fence partially, and I use a head cutting technique, and cut all of the bodyguards's heads. The suspect got arrested. And they say that she escape from the prison about ten times, so I expect that the next target escape about fifteen times.

We come back to the counter, she says about the number eight most wanted, and he's going to a company to destroy their reputation, by copying every single detail of the product, and turn their product's name into another name, but different and similar, and we continue to the destination, the destination is a producer of good quality beer, and I see people, wearing prisoner's shirt and pants, and some of them have cameras.

We come to the entrance, but my summons goes inside of the factory, while we're waiting at the outside, guarding the whole area about the escape plan.

One of the suspects takes a photo, but all of my summons hear it, so the suspects get a lot of bruises, and they are carried by my summons, with the only part they're holding are the left or right leg, like they're from a torture chamber, and they are six in total, and we come back to the TNCG building. The people says that they escaped the prison twenty five times, I think the game they're only playing is some jailbreak games that there is only one pattern to finish the game.

We go to the counter, and the number seven most wanted person, he uses a nuclear bomb to destroy the whole undead city, but it should be the number one because of his psycho mind, and the counter says "It is the first time he uses that thing, and he do other things like robbery. We go to a nuclear plant, the smoke smell can kill you in real life, and we go to a nuclear warhead, John tries to hack it, but before he completely hack it, guards are everywhere, having an assault rifle each one of them, and they wear like they're soldiers. And the suspect walk downstairs to us, laughing like everything's a joke, so I dash to him, and I do everything I need, I shut down their main wire, teleport the target to the lobby of the building of TNCG, and Victor explode the whole facility. The suspect says that he escape forty two times from the jail, and everything's making weirder.

We go to the counter, the counter says about the number six most wanted, and he is a greedy man, and he want to create a big drill to dig to the bottom of the bank, because the bank contains more money if you'll go deeper, and there's no limitations of the items, even though it's legendary. We go to the bank, but before we reach at the front gate, we see a very big drill, and it says that if what are the things that can be crush, it turns into gold, so I blast it with electric bolts, the drill turns faster until it's shutdown, and Victor blast it with a lava ball, and the drill melts also the suspect is at the helicopter, and I blast the helicopter with lightning bolts, and the helicopter shuts down, and it's going to crash to a building, but John save the suspect, teleporting him to the lobby, also, John put the helicopter to a safe place. The suspect escape sixty three times, very big like the security in the prison is too low.

We go to the counter, the counter says about the fifth most wanted in the city, and he is a drug dealer, and his mission is to sell ice cream to kids with alcoholic content, and the suspect is obvious because it says that there is a ice cream vendor with a logo "A's ice cream.", and we proceed to the destination. the destination is the park, the park looks nasty, and it's very weird. A few minutes later, we see a ice cream vendor's carrying an ice cream container, and the logo we see is only A, and we can't see the other words because of the far range. We go closer, later, a kid goes to him, the ice cream cost about $2, and for me, that's too expensive for an ice cream, and the kid licks the ice cream, and a few steps later, we see him like he's drunk, and we have the enough range to see the logo, and it's A's ice cream, and it's our time to get him, but before we can go near, a laser cannon is aiming at us, making him the legitimate suspect, and we rush to him, and I dash very quick to him before he pull the trigger, and he's arrested. The criminal escaped the prison about one hundred times.

We proceed to the counter, the counter says about the fourth most wanted, and he's going to the mall, he plant a bomb at the ground floor that can destroy the whole place, and we proceed. We come to the destination, but the people are screaming for help, and running out of the radius, and a few seconds later, I hear very loud beeps, so we run very fast, and the suspects are waiting, so I teleport them to the lobby of TNCG building. I don't know how to defuse it, but a vision from the past appear, it says that "You should cut the blue and green wire, and it will be defuse." After that, I cut the green and blue wire, and the time left is exactly 0.001 seconds, it makes me feel adrenaline rush, and we finish the mission. The criminal escaped the prison two hundred fifty two times, too many.

We proceed to the counter, the counter says about the third most wanted criminal, and with the second and the first most wanted, they'll put a big spaceship above the undead city, making the whole city destroy. We go outside, then I hear charging blasts, when I look up, the spaceship come. John teleports Victor at the spaceship's top, at the exact position of one of the engines, and Victor blast it with lava blasts, and the engine moves very abnormally, and I blast the spaceship with a thousand thunder bolts shooting from the sky to the spaceship, and all of the functions shut off. John save the three criminals, and we go to the lobby, the criminals escaped the prison approximately a thousand. A few minutes later, the counter give me the undead shard, and we get back to the main area.

I put the undead shard at the case of shards, and we proceed to the third portal.

3 Echoa

We teleport back at Echoa, and the people are losing hope, but the old man come to us, saying "Dear heroes, defeat the legendary mage Sylant, the remover of sound, because they can't produce energy without the presence of echoes, and if you'll finish it successfully, you'll receive the shard of echoes.", and he vanish. We question them if where can we find Sylant, but they'll won't answer, until, a high mage of Echoa answers our question, and he says "Use the legendary gem, and you'll see it, but don't say FARCT, but you'll say this, "Oblivio Heshua Dominia", and your questions can be answers." I say the word, then, a person, painted in white question me "What can I help?", and I say "Sylant", and he create a portal, and we go there.

We see a pitch black area, with no light, and I blast the area with light, and after that, there are too many monsters scaring, so I blast the whole place with

electricity, then they die, then a big person, with a flail, and before we think to attack him, he destroy every single pillar that he see, then, the ground cracks, we run very fast, even a dash, the crack can still follow me. Victor fall first, then me, then John.

We wake up at a cage, but the cage is very big, also, we are in a restaurant's kitchen, and our roommates are huge, bloodthirsty beasts, but we aren't scared, they come to us nearer, and nearer, like they want to eat us, but that's not gonna happen, except, I use wind to blast Victor and John to the sky, and I use my sword to transport my lightning energy to the cage, making all beasts electrocute, and before Victor and John landed, the electric current go off, making no injuries for both of them. A giant chef holds us three, and while the giant's walking, I see a menu saying:

================================

Acho's strongest hard drink

Ingredients:

1 chamomile leaf

10 lavender petals

100 mL of water

10 mL of quantum extracts

3 strong heroes

===============================

That thing makes me struggle to get out, and I blast the area with lightning bolts, the area darkened, because of overheating of the electricity, and before we stand up, we see glowing red eyes, like they want to kill us, but Victor blasts fireballs at 360° around, it lighten the area, and we see the chefs staring at us, and later, the electricity go back, but before a second, the chefs dash towards us, but all of us dodged all of them, and summon too many summons, the chefs eat the summons, but they appreciate it, so they make a deal to us, and they add an ingredient "1 thunder fog", and because of that, there are too many customers going to the restaurant. The chefs thank us, and one of them point the castle, and they say that it's the castle where Sylant lives, and I summon one of them, who duplicate all of the summons.

We go to the castle without interacting other people around, and we only take it a few minutes, because we run endlessly, and we reach the castle, but we rest for a bit, then we continue. We go through a window, and we see a priest, later, something reveals, a little girl, the girl always sing some Christian songs, she's so wise, and good. Later, the priest say some spells, then the girl become silent. "The priest is Sylant!" I shout, everyone look at me, and later, he shoots a beam to us, then I use the summoning technique, but the restaurant's reputation never goes low. The summons attack Sylant, and later Victor blast a portion of the cage with lava blast, and the portion melts, making a chance for the little girl to escape, and later, John uses a shadow vine trap, making a foolish suffer, and the wise escape, but Sylant attempt to say the silent spell, but I have a new skill "Stop time!", the time stop literally, and I blast Sylant with electricity, about ten thousand thunder bolts, and I cover Sylant with shadow vines partially, making more damage deal, and I teleport the little girl to our position. The time moves, Sylant almost die, and I call "Oblivio Heshua Dominia!" He come out, I question him if how can I make Echoa have a stable life, and he kill Sylant, vanishing him to dust, and he let me eat a gem, a white gem, so I eat the gem, the gem is so sweet, like mango, with many combinations, then I swallow it, after that, something is put on my brain, I need to say it, it is a cry, I know it, but I can't explain it.

Oblivio send us back to Echoa, saying that cry, the echoes come back, it's an another hope for the Echoanians to give future for their next generations. The old man gives us the shard of echoes.

The little girl says that Echoa isn't it's home, but she says that she's homeless, and we question her name, her name is Rose Madeleine. We come back to the main area with her.

I put the shard of echoes at the case of shards, and we proceed to the fourth portal.

5 The rainbow realm

Before we step at the next portal, I see the loneliness of the rainbow realm, so we continue.

They are suffering like they feel pain physically, and all of them are begging for help. The realm is full of black and white, and even our own colour, it's black and white, later, someone turns into ashes, that makes me feel rush. I call Oblivio, and I question him if where can we find the answer for this problem, and he said that "Someone flick the lonely switch, because of the predators, the predators are fat kids that loves candies, and because of that, they make the candies' own defence, that is making themselves bitter, but because of the black and white feature, they'll become ashes at the age of five years, and some of them are too old, and can't handle it, so if you'll scare all of the kids, I'll give you the rainbow shard.". Rose have a vision from the past at this realm, and that is the kids eat them, they have no mercy to eat all of them, and the endangered kind, the chocolate, kids loves the chocolate kind, they keep eating it, until a single chocolate candy hides at the most not obvious area, even others don't know it, and he's the only chocolate alive, and it's a male, doesn't want to get out because of fear, even though they're all black and white.

Rose is very sad at that vision, she tear a bit, and we question her what happen to her, also her, since she was six years old, her family died, one by one, in an execution event, she stands in front of them, cutted their heads, leaving no one of the Madeleine family alive, except for her.

We go to the human area, but we're stuck, I shout "Flick the switch!" The people are wondering why we'll go outside, and a candy, walks through the switch, and flick it for a second, then all of us get out before the sheild is on. We landed on a pillow, and a few seconds later, a toy car, big as a hundred times as a normal car, luckily it only bump the pillow, and not us, the kids, very obese, like they don't eat vegetables ever again, and, we notice that we are on the outside dimension, we are in a house. Victor burn the whole place, the kids are scared, they go upstairs instead of going out, and I and John push the realm outside of the house, help with our summons, we successfully transfer them to a safe place. And I think the kids died.

We smash the sheild, they feel that smash, and because of that, they open the sheild, never to be close again, and they're cheering because of joy, they become happy ever again, we feel comfort from our heart, and Oblivio gives us the Rainbow shard, then, we come back filled with joy.

I put the rainbow shard at the case of shards, and we proceed to the next portal.

5 The under of the underworld

We come inside, it's too hot, hot like having an armour at the middle of the desert. Rose said that it's hotter than the underworld, Maybe, deeper than the underworld, but a few seconds later, a demon call for help, but no one help him, later, he get hook up by a demon stronger than him, later, he's been cut off to half, I can't see any gore, but only blood. then, Rose reveals a strong blast of light, then, the big demon died. After that, a message appear "If you'll kill the demon lord of games, you'll receive the underworld shard.", then, a crack appear at our bottom, it becomes wider, then, wider, until all of us fall, even our magic, we can't use it.

I wake up, then, I can't see them, I am worrying about them, what are happening to them, but I only care about Victor. Later, a person, with a psycho mask, appear at my front, says a riddle, a common riddle, saying "What is a thing that have a longer life if you'll kill it.", I answer like it's very obvious "candle", and a secret door open at his back, and he says "Good luck!", then I see a big dragon foot, maybe it's a boss, then I go out, then, a dragon shouts at me, like it's bloodthirsty, and after that, I use my sword, blasting him with too many thunder bolts, but it becomes stronger, but I remember Rose, so I sing my own Christian song, and the dragon becomes weaker, and it's shrinking, I keep singing until he's as small as an ant, then, I step it, and he died.

The door open, leading to a portal, but it's not the main area, but I need to proceed

5.1 The underworld

When I enter the portal, the area become cooler, but it's still the underworld, then, I hear a scream from a girl, very familiar, I've heard this before, then I go to the voice, the area become white, with a gray bridge, then I see Rose, and a huge demon, tries to kill her, later, Victor goes beside me, then John, maybe we need to save her again. We are heading there, Rose sheild herself, later, she blast holy light, making the demon suffer, then we help too, I summon too many summons, then, they blast light, the light is as bright as the sun. The boss turns into ashes slowly, then Rose is saved.

Rose hug each one of us, giving thanks to all of us, later, a big dragon appear at our front, shouting like we'll be terrified because of the shout. The dragon blows fire to us, but Victor protect us with water, making a chance. Rose say a prayer, it says "In the name of Jesus Christ, get out of our sight!" The dragon is afraid, and he go away. But later, Rose lose consciousness, I think it's a vision.

Rose wake up at the front of the pillar, she look somewhere, until he meet the old man, the old man gives her something, a small artifact, she place it at the left pocket, at the lower portion of her upper clothing.

She wake up, and she tell about the artifact, she says "The artifact, you can only use it when you reach the pillar, also, it's green, also I see a word saying FARCT, maybe it's useful.", and we proceed to the end of the bridge. After the bridge, there is the king, and he's called "The king of the edge", and he's so big, and muscular, and has a spiky blade at his right arm, and he only wear leather clothing. The king said "Kneel down, or I'll cut off your heads one by one!", but we aren't afraid, and Rose reveal a very bright holy light from the sky, the king vanish after that.

After the king's death, a castle reveals itself, and the bridge expands through the castle, then, we run to the castle. A few minutes later, we notice that the castle is small, then we all go to sleep.

5.2 The final test of the underworld

I wake up, then I see a person with a demon crown wearing at his head, and the person tells me "I am Askeris, the Demon lord of games, if you'll beat me at chess, the shard is given to you."

I play chess with Askeris, I am the white piece, and I move first. A few minutes later, Askeris is going to defeat, because he's less professional at chess than expected, before I checkmate him, he resigns, and he send the underworld shard at me, then we teleport at the main area.

I put the underworld shard at the case of shards, then, they appear, they congratulate me, and I proceed to the next portal.

6 The sports realm

We teleport at the front of a sports complex, and we hear a whisper "Get the gold trophy shard by being first at the leaderboards.", and we go inside of the sports complex.

The entrance fills with players for the Olympics, but I use the mind switch technique, and all of the players go outside, forming a crowd, then we proceed to the register.

We fill the manifest, but Rose can't join, but she have a plan, she pray for our success, and we go inside of the sports complex, and I change the people's mind to normal.

The wait takes an hour, but we're patient to wait our enemies, then they come, they are too many, I can't count, but we need to join all of the events. The event start, the first is 400 meter sprint, Victor and John's position were too near, but I am too far from their position. The timer sets from ten seconds, we are preparing for the race, including the enemies. The time starts, John dashes quickly, with John holding, also, my speed is the same as John's speed. We three finish the race at the same time, adding ten points for each of us.

The next event is high jump, we are the first contestant, so it's our chance to be first, but before we jump, their prediction machine break, getting ten points again.

The next event is very serious, it's NASCAR, but last man standing. I already picked a car, later, I see the other cars with awesome upgrades, and decals, making the round very unfair.

I prepare my car, but before I position, the cars are already placed, making my position in the last place.

The cars are revving while they are waiting, also, it's too loud, that I don't notice every single sound outside, but only the revs. The gun shoots gunpowder, but before I notice it, the cars are accelerating, and I become the last. but making myself last is the best thing. I even thought it's only an oval race track, but I see a machine move the track, leading to another track.

The track leads to a mountain, but before I see the things around, a boulder crush the first car, down to the third car vertically, and the boulder has a perfect circle shape. I dodge the boulder, and after that, I see another boulder fall to the first car, with the same size from the previous one, with the same casualties.

There are only five boulders fall in total, and the racers left are two, including me, and a random racer, but later, a ground spike appear at the bottom of the first place car, and the car explode, and I win the race.

The next is long jump, and the host almost forget our reward, we receive another ten points.

The long jump starts, and the first contestant isn't me, or one of us, but the first contestant jumps very short, like below a meter, and many people don't like him. The next contestant also none of us, but he's so small. He prepare to jump, like he's showing some cool moves, then he jump very long, longer than the limit of the long jump.

The next is me, and I don't use any force from my feet, but I jump very long, but it's literally just flying. I win that match (I skip it because the others can't beat us.)

The host gives me ten points.

The next is sleeping contest, and this is very weird, but I have a trick. The timer is preparing, but I can't hit myself by my own thunder, so I hit someone, that's Victor, I laugh normally, facing to Victor.

The timer starts, but a few milliseconds later, I hit Victor with a very weak thunder bolt, and he sleep very fast, and we win again, and the host give us ten points.

The awarding ceremony is starting, the host call our names, and we're so happy, but before I can receive the Gold trophy shard, I must defeat a professional athlete on boxing, and I accept the challenge, but before I finish the sentence, the champion punch someone, and the victim died, making myself need preparation.

The boxing match is about to begin, and I need to prepare the possible attacks, so I hide my sword under the boxing ring, and I summon a summon that can duplicate itself.

But, the host says that the first person to fight the champion is a kid with some cancerous attitude, a second after the bell rang, I hear the kid crying. The next is a big muscular person, he smile like he can defeat the champion, but a few minutes later, his arm sprains, mourns even after a few seconds after the incident.

The next is me, and I only use my dummy to knock the champion. The champion is too huge, that it's body's size is 1/4 the ring's size, and he's too ferocious, but it's too impossible that the champion can hit my summon.

The round starts, I use shadow boxing, but not the shadow boxing that you know, but the summon punch the champion with dashing effects, like there's too many summons punching him, and all of them are only six, but that thing can make the champion sleep.

We win the challenge, and we receive the golden trophy shard, and we go to the main area.

I put the golden trophy shard at the case of shards, and there's a plot twist, except we go inside of the last portal, a shadow black hood brings a hammer, smashing all of the shards at once, and we receive the Balance shard.

The balance shard means that we've already balanced the world, there's no full of darkness, nor light, but balance.

And we teleport to the normal dimension.
