Chapter 27: Arrival in the God of High School Verse
As the portal fades behind them, the group of four—Draco, Him, MaxedInfinite, and Himothy—find themselves standing in a sprawling dojo surrounded by towering mountains. The air thrums with energy, and the sounds of combat echo in the distance. They see Jin Mori, Daewi, Mira, and Ilpyo training intensely.
Curious but cautious, the Omni Voyagers approach. However, Mira, wielding her sword with precision and an aura of suspicion, steps forward, her eyes narrowing.
Mira (coldly): "State your business, or I'll make you regret stepping into our domain."
The group remains calm, dodging her attacks without retaliating. They effortlessly evade her strikes, their movements fluid and measured, aiming to prove they mean no harm.
After 45 minutes of this unrelenting sparring, Jin Mori finally intervenes, his golden eyes glowing with authority.
Jin Mori (shocked): "Mira, stop!!"
Mira (reluctantly lowering her weapon): "Fine, but you better explain yourselves."
Him steps forward, his tone calm and sincere.
Him: "We're dimensional travelers, trying to stop an impending destruction that threatens all realities."
Ilpyo whispers to the group, his fox-like intuition kicking in.
Ilpyo (whispering): "Guys, I feel like they're trustworthy. Their energy doesn't feel malicious."
Mira (crossing her arms): "If they attack you, it's your problem, not mine."
Jin Mori, sensing the seriousness in their tone, suggests they talk over dinner.

Over Dinner
The Omni Voyagers sit with Jin Mori, Daewi, Mira, and Ilpyo around a large table filled with food. The atmosphere is tense but slowly eases as the group begins to share their story.
Daewi (curiously): "What exactly is this 'destruction' you're talking about?"
Draco explains the plans of the Grim Reaper and Hajun, detailing their destructive power and the threat they pose to all dimensions.
Himothy: "It's bigger than any of us individually. That's why we're gathering strength wherever we can."
Jin Mori leans back, his face serious but intrigued.
Jin Mori: "Alright. If what you're saying is true, we'll help you. Ilpyo and I will start training you tomorrow."
The group nods in agreement, grateful for their new allies.
As the conversation shifts, MaxedInfinite speaks up.
MaxedInfinite: "By the way, do you guys have a team name or something? It feels weird just calling us 'the group.'"
The room grows lively as names are thrown around.
Himothy: "Dimensional Travelers."
Him: "Nah, too boring."
Draco: "How about 'The Infinite Vanguard'?"
MaxedInfinite: "Cool, but I want something that screams power."
Him suddenly lights up with an idea.
Him: "I got it! Rift Walkers."
Before MaxedInfinite can agree, Himothy interrupts.
Himothy: "Wait, I've got a better one. How about Omni Voyagers?"
The room falls silent for a moment before everyone nods in agreement.
MaxedInfinite: "Perfect. From now on, we're the Omni Voyagers."
Ilpyo stands and stretches, his voice calm but firm.
Ilpyo: "Don't get too comfortable. Training starts tomorrow."
The Omni Voyagers exchange determined glances, ready for the next phase of their journey.

In The Unseen Background:
In the shadows of a distant dimension, Hajun stands before a decimated world, his gaze piercing through realities.
Hajun (smirking): "Let them train. It will only make their downfall more satisfying."
Epilogue: The Calm Before the Storm
As the first rays of dawn illuminate the mountains, the Omni Voyagers and their new allies gather in the dojo courtyard. The cool morning air is filled with an electric tension, each individual silently preparing for the trials ahead. Ilpyo stands in his fox transformation, his fiery aura casting flickering shadows, while Jin Mori wields his staff with an ease that belies its immense power.
Draco tightens his grip on his blade, its edge shimmering faintly with a power he has yet to fully unleash. Him adjusts his trident, their intricate design humming with raw energy. MaxedInfinite meditates, his aura subtly expanding, while Himothy observes the sunrise, his expression a mix of resolve and curiosity.
Jin Mori steps forward, his voice cutting through the silence.
Jin Mori: "Training here won't be easy. We'll push you to your limits and beyond. But if what you've said about Hajun is true, you'll need every ounce of strength to face him."
The Omni Voyagers nod in unison, their determination shining through.
Meanwhile, in a crumbling dimension far away, Hajun stands atop a jagged throne crafted from the remains of a shattered world. Around him, the ashes of his conquest swirl in an unending storm. His golden arm glows faintly, pulsing with an ominous power that seems to echo across dimensions.
Hajun: "Omni Voyagers… amusing. Do they truly believe their bonds and training will stand against me?"
Behind him, the Grim Reaper materializes, his scythe glinting with an eerie, otherworldly light.
Grim Reaper: "They're gathering strength. The chaos they bring may disrupt even your plans."
Hajun turns slowly, his smirk widening.
Hajun: "Let them come. Hope makes their despair all the sweeter."
The storm around him intensifies, tearing apart the remnants of the dimension as his laughter reverberates through the void.
Back in the God of High School Verse, the Omni Voyagers begin their first sparring session with Jin Mori and Ilpyo, their movements blending into a synchronized dance of power, speed, and strategy. The training grounds become a battlefield, each clash of fists and weapons pushing the boundaries of their strength.
As the sun sets on their first day, the group stands together, battered but unyielding. The bond between them grows stronger with each passing moment.
The journey of the Omni Voyagers continues, the weight of countless realities resting on their shoulders. The battle for existence itself looms ever closer.
