“Dun. Dun. Dun. Dun Dunun. Dun du”, the music stopped as a young man answered his cell.
“Yo man!? What the hell!? You said you would come pick us up like, ten minutes ago!” a voice on the other end yelled.
The young man, about 17 or 18, sighed as he responded. “Yeah, yeah. I get it Josh, I needed Michael to bring me the rest of my outfit and he just arrived, I will come pick you up in 15 minutes, Alright?”
The man ruffled his shoulder length hair as he heard Josh say, “Oh, okay. We were MORE worried that you had wrecked, but alright man. We’ll see you when you get here.”
“K, remember to say hi to Britty for me.” The man said, smiling at the reply.
“Goddamit J! I have told you I am not fucking brit-” the line cut as he ended the call.
“Hey Mike, get in here for a sec and help me out man!” he looked down at his costume. A completely homemade one of epic awesomeness. ‘Thank god dad taught me all he knew before that bitch locked him up.’ He thought as footsteps pounded down the hall.
“Yeah, what ya need J?” Michael asked as he took a knee beside him.

FIRST PERSON
“I need you to insert all of this to the belt as I get dressed. Do you know what goes where?” I asked as my half brother knelt before me.
“Yeah bro, I remember how it works. I’ll get it done for you.” He said to me as he pulled the hair out of his eyes and stood up.
I grabbed my first piece and quickly got to work as he worked on my equipment. In about three minutes we both finished our tasks and he handed me my belt. The glorious damn object that took two whole months to design, test, and finally wear. Le'mme tell ya, creating an inventory is really damn hard. Copying the one from the revamped KoTOR was nearly impossible. Today was the day that I had decided to fulfill a lifelong, if you count 21 years as a long life, dream of attending Comicon. I had dressed as a character inspired by Revan from one of my books.
“Hey Bro!? A little help here?” Michael yelled. I turned and looked at him and started laughing.
“hAHAHHAH, you idiot. HAha oh god. Alright, stay still and I’ll help you out.” I said as I walked towards the dumbass. I mean, how does a person forget how to put on a costume they designed and built. He had managed to put on his leg armor on wrong and now he couldn’t walk.
“It’s not funny.” He pouted as I righted his costume. Ruffling his hair, I placed the functioning HUD visor he had helped me design on his face. “Damnnn! J, you have to put yours on. These are epic.”
“I know they are, I fucking programmed them dumbass.” We walked out the door together and hopped in one of the cars in my garage. I love being rich.
“Well, if not for me then these amazing costumes would have never worked. Who do you know that can actually create a functioning Lightsaber? HMMN? Oh that’s right, one. ME!” he shouted as he tried to rub it in my face.
I smirked as I put my mask on and watched the world fade into vision with my own HUD. “That may be true, but I taught you everything you know kid. Remember that next time you try to insult me. Besides, I did all the work, all you did was put it together.” My HUD said that it was 11:12 in the morning so I turned on my car and started driving to the meet up place at my friend Nik’s.
“Fine, but don’t call me kid. You are only three years older than me. You’re not dad.” I got more serious as we approached the highway.
“Hey, look. I know you are 19 and all, but you will always be my kid brother. After dad was caught, I practically raised you. I know it’s only been 7 years, but maybe we can get an early visit. We might even get a face to face meet.” I said, doing my best to keep him from brooding. I swear, if I hadn't already killed the bitch we called mom, he would have done it himself in some epic avenger quest.
“I know. I just miss him a lot J. I was 12, my biggest memory of him was our first and only job when he helped me through my first kill. I understand that you try your best, but I still wish he was here.”
I sighed in sympathy. Pulling of the highway, I entered Nik’s driveway after a mile stretch of government property. “Hey, at least we know that we got back at the fucker’s who dragged him off. I mean, come on. He got dad and in a way, we got his son.”
“That was a fun job. God, how long did it take to "get" him again?” Mike asked me.
“I think it only took 13 interactions before he joined us. But hush now, we are there.” Stepping out of the car, I saw our three passengers sitting there. The final three members of our party. “Hey guys, sorry for the delay but come on. Lazy ass over here slept in.” I laughed while pointing at Michael.
Niklous, Brandon, and Josh all stood up from the lawn chairs they were sitting in and walked towards me. Nik was dressed in a futuristic version of a Shinobi outfit, complete with a suit that was made of his own DNA, but designed to look like his OC Nik Shinka. Brandon had on a full suit of extremely expensive Nanobots that Mike and I had developed, he wanted them to look like Blacklight and let me tell you IT WAS AN EXTREMELY HARD PROJECT, for Michael because programming is incredibly easy for me. Finally there was Josh, he had been in the horrifying pile up of July 6th 2378 and was paralyzed from the neck down when we befriended him 8 years ago. After he agreed to join my father’s “company” dad repaired his spine and replaced the withered limbs with cybernetic prothstetics covered in his own skin. For Comicon though, he removed it and was going as Cyborg. The head dome was an easy surgery to fix so he allowed me to mess around a little.
I stood there looking at my brother and feeling immense pride. More than any of my accomplishments including my richest man alive, 100% shareholder of Bionetic Inc(the secretly illegal corporation I inherited from my father), and Writer/Director of the revamped MLP:FIM; I was more proud than any of those combined in my younger brother, Michaelangelo Light. I could see his potential, and it is so much greater than mine that it almost hurt my pride. Almost, I could find solace in the fact he is like that because of me. 'I wonder if that is how dad felt when he looked at me?'
I smiled at my friends as I opened the doors of the car with a snap. “Alright guys, last one in pays for lunch.

Nik ended up in a tie with Josh, so they decided to split it evenly when we arrived. I had just finished my third pizza when my HUD started messing up… the screen was graying in and out and I heard static in my ear-buds.
“J…list…I nee…” a video of my father appeared in the top right of the screen and the static cleared. “Don’t react!”
I obeyed and continued my conversation with Brandon about whether Hinata or Fluttershy was cutest shy girl.
“J, I need you to grab you friends and drive to the house.” I nodded. “When you arrive, go to the 3rd room in the lowest basement. All you need to do is hit the pulse drive overlord switch, grab all the things you feel you cannot live without, okay.” I nodded again. “They actually found a way to do it J, Hydra has broken through the wall! You have to leave NOW!!! You have maybe ten minutes!” At that, my blood ran cold. The dimensional wall was a goddamn pain to work with, it was an entity of greater power than anything we know of. But it blocked all forms of organic interdimensional traveling. Period. It was estimated that a supermassive black hole would be necessary to bypass it with brute force. But to break through… I jumped up.
“Guys, code 3: danger level 5. We are leaving. NOW!” I shouted, using the codes from the FAMILY business. We dropped our food and ran towards the car.
When we were all inside, I started it up on plasma and we soared down the highway towards home.
“What is it J?! What did those damned terrorists do?” Josh asked as I sped 5 times the speed limit.
“The wall. Josh, they can break the wall!!” I yelled and the whole car got quiet. “We have to leave EARTH , maybe even this dimension. If they can break the wall, we have no choice. My dad says that he already has the hydro-array set up.”
"Holy Fuck. That ain't good." Brandon commented.
"Yeah, no shit man." Nik said as he fondled one of his daggers.

I pulled into our drive and stopped at the door into our mansion. “OUT!! HURRY!! Start handing me things we can't replicate!!!” we rushed and I started putting objects in my belt. Projects, special technologies, my copy of the internet, my laptop, my surgical equipment, rare materials, my money completely converted into gold, and my RESEARCH into AI. My friends helped out. After 3 minutes we reached the door and entered. I started working on the computer of dad’s portal and got it up in 20 seconds. A rip appeared within the hydro-array and we started jumping through. Michael jumped with me and as I saw the rip close behind us. I saw the one thing I hoped would not happen, the color of the wall flooding our house and disrupting our travel. In a searing flash of pain my friends went unconscious and I nearly followed them. I saw the color form a head and it glared at me.
An eerie voice said, “So you escaped, I can't have that. Don't worry. You'll pay the price.” And it all disappeared.
/
I woke with a start. Looking around, I saw a gigantic crater that was smoldering. My friends were helping each other up and looking around like I was. I saw a note lying beside me.
“Foolish one,
No one escapes me, at least, not without paying tribute. I took your brother as payment for your travel. You are forbidden from leaving this plane of the multiverse. PERIOD. You will never reach home again as long as I live. Hope you guys enjoy the consequence of slipping past me. Their is a reason I confine you all within your own planes...
From,
_________.”
I remembered the searing pain I felt in the Void. Looking at my friends, tears dripped from my eyes as power coursed through me. Josh had fleshed out and his cybernetic parts were different. His face had changed as well. I saw/felt the power drifting off of Nik, and his daggers were actually streaming shadows as he moved. And Brandon was kneeling in the ashes holding his head as Blacklight fought him for control.
All of my anger turned to fear as I looked at my own costume. I had dressed as one of the beings with the most fucked up stories I had ever created. Jake Fear, memories flooded my mind of his childhood.
The abusive mother, the loving father who dies at her hands in a drug induced rage. The beginning of his powers, the self done experiments with his father’s DNA. The vampire virus that changed him eternally. The hunger, the feast of children in an orphanage after his mother’s “suicide”, the dreams of other worlds, the pain of living after death, the attempt to live for others after losing everything, his failure in even that. His final decision when he turned thirteen and challenged Satan for his father’s soul, his torment in hell. His escape at 15. His rising power and mastery of energy at 16. The combination of powers of “Mutants” he injected into himself at 17. His first supernatural kill, a demon. He absorbed its soul and slept. Thousands of years later, humanity is at peace and he is 18. In rage he learns all he can before destroying it with its own knowledge. The last ditch attack to kill him works and he dies. In heaven he rages at god and is almost calmed by him, but he casts himself into hell and starts killing with abandon. Human demon, it did not matter. He absorbs all he can find and ties himself to the fires of hell, once again he returns to earth, age unknown. He slaughters them and ties himself to the essence of humanity. He travels the universe learning and killing until he faces god one last time. Only to be met with disgust from his father, the man whose death broke him. In a last ditch effort to please his father, his twisted mind forces him to kill god and use his power to turn back time itself. But, he fails and existence ends. He exists alone, unable to stop the pain of it all.
In a single breath, the pain rips into me as I fall to the ground once MORE and black out as a pulse of power destroys me. Metaphorically of course.

My head pounded as I sat up. I was still in the crater and my friends were passed out beside me. Waking them up, I said. “Guys, I had the worst experience earlier.”
Nik asked, “Let me guess, the life story of your character?”
I nodded. Brandon spoke up, “I can hear them inside of me still, the consumed. I can’t believe that Alexander Heller from Prototype 8 had to deal with this pain.”
Josh said, “I can hear the whispering the technology right now. But, where are we?”
I looked at my HUD and saw that it should be day. Looking straight up I saw a solar eclipse and sighed. “Nik, I am hereby forbidding you from killing and level 20 or lower interrogation/intimidation.”
Nik’s eye twitched. “I see, so we are in THAT world.”
Josh’s eyes widened as he said, “Wait that is really low. Even normal children could withstand that level.”
Brandon’s eyes lit up, “So are we?!”
“Yes, we are in some version of Mytheria, home of MLP:FIM.”
