*Shiiiiee-Burt*
Lifting my hard torch mask, I wiped my sweaty brows as I smiled and stepped back while dropping the torch from my hand and admiring the beauty I had spent nearly a total of 4 years building.
It was my very own version of a starship integrating technology from both the Halo universe and the Daling in the Franxx universe.
I felt giddy ever since I took up this monstrous project. Sure, I could also buy a starship from the system store but, the prices were beyond normal.
It took me a while of complaining that Allie told me that my 'trial-period' was up which made everyone at a 98% discount.
Even for a change of clothes, it was 170.000SP or state points.
I had already blown off all my money from the AOT world and ended up semi-broke due to fumbling the materials to build my next project.
With a glum sigh, I was being salty and me and Allie had not spoken much ever since we jumped to the world of One Piece and landed on an uncharted Random Island in the West Blue.
I was sighing in regret as I felt I went too far with calling her useless.
I wanted to make up with her but she booked me out not too long ago.
Now, I only politely ask for things I would need as I decided to spend my time focusing on my new baby.
"Hey Allie." I spoke aloud as she doesn't really respond to me while in my thoughts at all anymore. This way, I got straight to the point. "I want to jump back to Kara's world and see how she's doing."
["Jump in 3…2..1…-"]
"Shit!" I snapped my hand and stored my ship and tools in a fraction of a second before blinking back to Earth-38-01. "That was close… Allie… ALLIE!"
I had shouted a bit louder but soon calmed down as I walked from the alleyway I had disappeared from a few years ago and stepped out into the bustling crowd in National City.
Unable to reach Allie most likely because she was in one of her usual moods, I took out a regular motor-bike and drove while in casual clothes as I soon managed to track down Kara as she was at her high school at the moment.
Stopping stop a ridge in the forest far enough away from her school, I placed silencing spells on myself as not to interrupt her from her class.
I was somewhat stunned as I was looking at the older version of Kara.
I sat on my bike while crossing my legs and enjoying a burger meal with soda and French fries.
Though she was already a young adult, I felt like my inner fan was having a field day as I felt calm just looking at her from a few kilometers away.
I never thought of starting a relationship with her, I never had and despite me being something more than human, I was still everything but and that extended to my feelings.
I had no time to start relationships. At least, not now or in the near future.
I had wanted a momentary break from all my plans as I decided to head to a dimension where I can hopefully get a clue as to where my killer is or what the hell it even is at all as I keep fucking up by going off on tangents and heading to universes I knew but couldn't control whenever the jump occurred without Allie to calculate where we head towards.
I felt irked but also, I was reminded that I messed up and was paying for it so I didn't push her to get over it.
*Swoosh*
I didn't turn around but felt my bangs sway as I then held out a single French fry to my side while the man of stee himself walked right next to me.
"I'm curious… what gave me away?" I asked in a calm tone as I wasn't afraid of the Demi-god but, I did feel that if we fought, I would end up taking more than half the city down with me just to even the playing field.
"First off, It's nice to finally meet you, Miss Kelly." I nodded and then gulped while I responded.
"Sup' bro." I said and then waited as he hadn't yet answered my question which resulted in him answering.
"Your scent. It's unlike anything here on Earth. Almost like charred wood but instead of wood, it's like a ghost sensation of ash and… death. " I raised my eyebrows as the reason made me want to worry, as I already knew I was someone who had died and upon my next death, that was it. "Now, care tell me why you are stalking my cousin?"
"I love her." I said without any hesitation and before he could respond, I continued. "Relax. I mean in a familial kind of way. She doesn't know it yet but she saved me once upon a time. Not like she will ever know who I am, but I want to make things clear. I want to protect her for as long as possible like an older sibling or a young mother."
I felt the words were cringe but, it was how I honestly felt and it showed on my face as I accepted my new body and self. I was lost in thought while I looked at her. Kara was the last thing I have from a distant life that I felt seemingly connected to.
"Who are you?" He asked and I felt the breeze hit as if right on que.
"Me… I'm just a revenge-driven psychopath hellbent on finding the shithead that killed me a long time ago." I said honestly and while he was confused, he could understand, he guessed I didn't want to go into further detail.
It was then that I held out my palm and a new and more sophisticated necklace much like the bracelet I gave Kara appeared.
"Here." I tossed it over and he caught it while having to use both hands and most of his willpower just to keep holding it.
"What is this!?" I then explained a bit before hopping back on my bike and aiming to head to the mall and buy a lot of food as the prices for the system were garbage.
"It's meant only for Kara. She'll be the only one on this planet who can use it…" As I started up my bike, I was about to turn when he suddenly wanted to ask a bit more for what it was for. "… to call for me in case she is ever in any danger… I can already feel the bracelet I gave her last time has chipped. It no longer works as it used to which means to me that she has been exposed to danger already. Give that to her, just say you found it somewhere or bought it as a birthday present or hold onto it and give it to her on her 18th birthday as I left something for her for that day."
While leaving I then recalled the letter I left and chuckled as I didn't really know if she'll find it useful but I had wanted to leave behind a sort of riddle for her to hurry up and realize that Earth was her home now too.

Blinking to another world, I think Allie was trolling me at this point as I landed on the MCU but something was different which was the massive crack in the moon.
Allie… Allie!
"Haaaa~. Allie." I said.
["Yes, Host?"] I grit my snarky insult and cooled down as I then asked where I was. ["… we are in grid 616-01, a new variant designated via system for Host existence. A majority of powers both in future, present, and past have been forever altered due to Host presence here."]
"What year am I in?" I asked.
["Current date, October 03, 2008."]
A year before the events of Iron man. Wait…
"Allie, how does my presence affect the timeline?" I remembered there being sightseers like The Ancient One.
["Unknown. Host presence is concealed by the Data Realm due to the host being an excluded being from the cycle of reincarnation in the wider realm of reality. Simply put, you are among a rare handful that will experience a true unadulterated death upon your demise. As such, you are also barred from any and all future sights and abilities as well as mind control as your soul is yours to keep or destroy."]
I felt nervous but accepted it soon after as I knew that there was nothing more to say.
I walked along the streets of California and drew in quite the number of looks.
As I next went into an alleyway, I blinked again and moved to the next dimensional world.
~~~
"… Allie?" I said in a calm and composed tone.
["Yes Host?"]
"Where exactly are we?" I muttered while looking around and suddenly finding myself in space as I was looking at a burning onset that looked an awful lot like Earth but, with a massive scorch mask across its body.
["Information dictates this being a dimension from the show, [The 100] upon the final moments of mankind after nuclear war was enacted."]
I felt fear…
In my last life, when I went to school and heard about the wars happening on the other side of the world, threats of nuclear war shook me to my core back then.
Thankfully it was peacefully resolved but here, I was afraid that this was what could have taken place in my old word.
"… any survivors?" I asked just for the sake to asking.
["… countless. Would you like for me to run the numbers in real time?"]
"No… no, you don't have to." I spoke while having been glad my passive spells I learned came in handy with me being able to stay in space for prolonged periods of time. "Let's get out of here and go to the next dimension, Allie."
With another blink, I felt my feet touch the ground as the weight of the world I was on tripled.
Not enough to phase me but enough to completely immobilize a normal human in their tracks.
"Now where am I?" I asked while walking around and suddenly seeing a red moon with a bright red planet surface.
["Host has arrived to a splintered dimension of DBZ. 50
years before the arrival of King Cold on planet Sadala which would later be changed to Planet Vegeta."]
"I think I heard of that before… I used to wake up to watch dragon ball on the weekend after school ended. Crazy that I am actually here now." I stated and then went into my shop while buying a fake prop of a realistic monkey tail and set it around my waist. "There, where's the nearest settlement, Allie?"
"14 miles West." I turned my head as my internal compass soon calibrated to this worlds gravitational pull and I headed in that direction while changing to my Ninja clothes that looked more or less simpler. "Wonder how my first encounter with real authentic Sayian will be like… pfft… of course… lord of fighting for sure…"
I then hummed along a song while covering my head and body with a cloak as I let my bangs sway freely while making my way without any rush as I now had all the time in the world.
Literally.
