We reappeared in Dollovan's, Nisha's and Jonita's universe, but in a different dimension, in the fifth.
I prayed our assumptions were right as I went five realities to the right.
We materialized and saw the place wasn't very different, only a few slight changes, apart from the fact that half the planet was completely obliterated, so as half the solar system, progressively.
I shielded my eyes as something was glowing in the sky and sending out powerful pulses of light which burned right through the planet as if it was paper.
All the creatures, land, everything was being incinerated.
I just wondered who that hothead was and Dollovan seemed just as confused.
"Is that him?"I asked.
"Her."All the girls said.
"Yeesh, sorry, is that her?"
Jonita replied in the affirmative then I cracked my neck then said,"Wish me luck."
Then I vanished.
At the core of the blinding light was a young woman, screaming for her husband.
She then heard someone say,"Hey beautiful, I was wondering if you could tune the tanning lamp down a little."
She looked back and the light dimmed to show a creature she had never seen before, with eyes that glowed just as much as the light she was producing.
"Hello?"I called.
"Y... you're one of them, aren't you?"
"I don't know who them are, but what I do know is that you're killing a lot of innocent people for your husband, I don't think Succothe would want this."
"H...how do you know his name?!"
"I have powers, like you, even before I got my gem, like you."
She looked at her chest then back at mine, then I stretched my arm and said,"Those creatures which attacked were from this glorified troll with elephantiasis eternally warming the only seat in the entire multiverse large enough to accommodate his super sized rumpus; Darlok, Darlekka, call him...it, what you want, potato potato for me."
"Why do you talk so much?"
"But I just...I...just come with me."
"How can I know that you aren't one of Dargon's creatures?"
"Because that, is one of his portals, and those things pouring out of it in monumental...you know what? That's how they look, those creatures over there."
She frowned and the light became brighter, and hotter, as a spear made out of pure light formed in her hand.
The plasma windows on my eyes became thicker and of course I had to cool my body down tediously to maintain homeostasis.
I then said,"Don't go, the only reason they're here is to get you and if you attack them, they will outnumber you, outmatch you and overpower you."
But she was blinded by her own anger and surprisingly, not by her own light.
The creatures poured out of the growing portal like water then she darted at them and got swallowed into the crowd then bursts of light started shining through them, before a large explosion of white light erupted and burned all of them to a crisp, then I palmed my forehead then shouted and sucked my fingers as I was burned by my own plasma window I couldn't see out of.
She looked into the portal and saw another creature like her, bathed in currents of white light, it was him, Succothe.
A pink gas was produced on his skin as he beckoned her to join him and she was about to when she was wrapped by a thick string of spider silk, which dragged her and maneuvered through the space junk and dropped her before the others.
She screamed and struggled to break free, even using her brightest blazes of light, to no avail, they were unbreakable.
Alexa called me down then I looked at her then we all vanished, right before a green laser hit the ground which we stood on.
We settled on the reality next to her own as her entire planet had been destroyed, possibly including the other two, or more.
When we got there, I looked back at the lady...thingy, that had been struggling this entire time, then asked,"What is your name?"
The cocoon of web silk, unwrapped from her head at Alexa's command and she had clearly not heard the question.
She struggled then seemed shocked as I said,"I forgot to tell you, one of my first abilities... without the gem...was hindering other people's abilities, by just probing their minds, you're not going hyper nova anytime soon, now, Giopha, tell me your name."
Everyone was confused, including herself then she asked,"Didn't you just say..."
"I said tell me!"
"Giopha!"
"Good Gio, remember that you saw your husband within the portal? That wasn't him, it was a simple Illusion, I can do those, she can do those(Alexa), so as she(Jonita), she on computers (obvious) and he."
"What?"Dollovan asked.
"For another time, anyway, Darlok is always looking for ways to get you to follow him, don't give in, why would Succothe hang out with the very guy that killed him? He wasn't meeting his maker but rather being imprisoned by that breaker, we have all been affected by him, so if you want to skip along across the multiverse to his realm, wherever that may be, go on, so are you with us or not?"
"...you still talk too much."
"It's a yes in that case."
We then looked at the planet before us, before she destroyed it.
***
We searched everywhere, futilely, and found nothing, no one...that we were looking for.
We didn't know whether to convince her double which would be incredibly difficult, or heat her up, which will give the one with us a bad impression of us, so we decided to go back in time, before the place was raided and that was our best idea yet.
I lay on the horizontal bed, which was made up of stuff I was used to, that didn't corrode my skin, while those from there lay on beds made out of several Bromine and Silicon compounds.
A drop of blood flowed on the floor, maneuvering through the cracks and crevices till it got to her; Jonita.
She slept as a creature materialized, one with a red hood over its body.
It was about to bite her neck when it got tapped on the back then punched through several walls and those tree like thingies, and fell down.
I pulled it up by the collar and everyone woke up and I removed the hood then saw it was just made out of blood, ironically with a mouth full of fangs.
I was about to disintegrate it then remould it into something else when Alexa yelled for me to stop.
"And why exactly do you want me to spare this creature?"I asked.
"That's a Blood Boiler."She said.
"A what? This liquid dude wanted to turn her into grilled beef?! That's disgusting! Pixies taste terrible! I know from experience."
"He wasn't going to hurt her, he loved her."
"What?"
"...is going on?"Jonita asked.
Alexa looked at her the said,"A Blood Boiler is in love with you."
She widened her eyes then looked into nothingness, then left.
I then said,"See, you made her cry."
"Just leave him, he wanted to bite her so he could be with her, once they taste their loved one's blood, they can change into their species."
"So they're blood thirsty, homicidal, two faced identity stealers?"I asked.
"Only a Saint could put up with you."Dollovan interjected.
"Hey, who said you could wake up? Get back to bed! No, no, no, don't you dare walk away from me while I'm talk...and he's gone."
"It's an act of love, if anything, it was romantic."
"No, no, no, romantic is when you get a warm hug from behind, or when you actually get returned Valentine's day cards which don't say stop stalking me, this isn't romantic, it's creepy."
"But that's all he could do, please understand."
"Hey guys! Come and see this!"Nisha yelled.
The two of us walked a few steps back to the unconscious Boiler on the floor then I realized something, I didn't pay attention to the crystalline, clotted blood within its chest.
"It's a crystal wielder?"I asked.
"He..."Alexa said.
I pulled out the gem and looked at it closely, it was similar to mine.
I totally regretted what I did.
