Shirn: I'm sure you guys are thinking, "You're the Ultimate Author, you can just create a portal to escape the freaking world." But yeah, that's my critical flaw. Sure, I can create portals, but it only affects the world I am in. Mainly for quick transportation, as you can say. Only Xin, Shiro and Shira Hitsune can create dimensional portals. That's why I'm with Xin during the third world chaos. So, with that out of the way, let's continue.

Xav: Can we take a break? We've been walking for hours.

Shirn: Nope. We're almost at the other side. Just a bit more.

?th Eve: (behind Malvar) Yay! This is fun!

Malvar: Are you sure this is a good idea, Shirn, Skylar?

Skylar: Trust me on this, Master.

A Few Hours Back...

Shirn: Where's this tunnel lead to, Malvar?

Malvar: I... don't know. I just stayed here with Skylar.

Skylar: I went to that place, and when I arrived, it's a ghost town on that side.

Shirn: Then let's go there. We might find ourselves supplies against your pursuers that I can duplicate.

Skylar: Hop on me, Master, Eve.

Xav: Hey, me too.

Skylar: I can only carry two persons. Sorry, Xav.

Present Time...

Shirn: Well, here we are. It looks like a ghost town indeed. (Creates a scythe) Just in case.

Xav: How are you able to create stuff from thin air?

Shirn: The power of the Mixgear of Creation. Anyway, let's take a look in one of the houses.

After going inside a house....

Malvar: (gets off Skylar) I'll go look in the kitchen. And this place is kind of familiar....

Shirn: (creates a couple of radio telephones and gives it to everyone) Here. Notify us when you find something. I'll take a look in the basement. Xav you go in the second floor. Skylar, Eve, both of you can wander around here. Also, here. (Gives Malvar a dagger) Just in case of an atttack.

Basement....

Shirn: Seems the owner of this place was an expert swordsman, or swordswoman. (Sees a large portrait on the wall) Oh? It's dusty. (Blows all the dust off) Holy Guacamolé!!!! (Calls Malvar) Dude, you gotta see this! I'm at the basement!

Moments Later....

Malvar: Here I am... What do you want me to see?? (sees the picture)

Malvar:  Oh. So this is Claire's house. No wonder this house was familiar. (notices a notebook lying around) Her diary? (picks it up and opens it) Entry from date October 27, 2018. It's been a year and a half since the explosion. I miss Shiro ever since he disappeared. I went to Neptune's but she said she wasn't there. Same goes for the other three. Such a shame... I already got the goddesses' permission to confess a long time ago.

So, Shiro. If you are reading this, I love you. Ever since we became sparring partners, I started to gain feelings towards you. I want to become your boyfriend.

Shirn: Whoa... never knew this world's Claire also has feelings for this Shiro alternate too. And she's living here, even though it's a ghost town now?

???: Shiro....

Malvar: Huh? (turns around) C-Claire???

?th Claire: Shiro.... I missed you!!! (Tackles him to the floor) Why did you disappear on us??

Malvar: Guessing over 57 billion girls are on me, I retreated in a tunnel near here.

?th Claire: You have a point there. Anyway, who is this guy?

Shirn: Shirn Pelagio. I fell in this dimension, I need to get back to mine to get help.

?th Claire: Oh, Then Soulmire can help you with that. She has a portal gun with her. But that aside, why is there a freaking tiger in my living room??

Malvar: That's my pet. Soulmire gave it to me as a present.

?th Claire: Okay.

Shirn: I have an idea, so you won't be targeted by a frickton of girls. I have this persistent despair obssessive guy at my world, and I absolutely hate him. If I threw him here, maybe he'll be their target and go for him, unless if their true target is you.

First World....

Jack: (Cash's OC) I suddenly felt my spine freeze.... So despairingly pleasant....

Back to Malvar's world.....

Malvar: That's a great idea. I'm already sick of running away. Hey, do you know where Soulmire is??

?th Claire: I just visited her last Saturday, so I obviously know.

Shirn: Why are you still living here in this ghost town, Claire?

?th Claire: This is my house! I couldn't just leave it. Although I admit that it is kinda lonely here. That aside, Soulmire's finding you all over the world. She's worried about you! Let's go to her house, now!

Shirn: (calls Eve and Xav) You two, front door. Stat. We're going to Soulmire's.

Timeskip, brought to you by Claire hiding Malvar inside a suit of armor.

Malvar: (gets out of the suit) Whoa. I miss going here. Because of those girls hunting my life, I can't visit here that often.

?th Claire: Anyway, seems like she's in Baguio City for some strawberries, but she'll return in a moment. And Shirn, if you're planning to ask on what my power is, I'm able to summon swords out of nowhere, and make myself a force field with my high defense.

Shirn: How did you kn- ah, nevermind.

???: Finally. Home!!

?th Claire: Violet Heart! Look what I found at my house! (pulls Malvar in)

Violet Heart: Malvar.... I'm supposed to be mad at you, but I guess you have a decent reason why you can't visit us, right? (Reverts back into Soulmire)

Malvar: Yeah, I guess I'm guilty for that. I'm just too submissive to say no, so I just escaped.

Shirn: So Malvar's my docile and submissive side, huh?

Soulmire: So, who is this guy? (Points at Shirn) I haven't seen another male in a year.

Malvar: He's from another dimension, and he needs to get back to his own world for help.

Soulmire: I'd like to help, but my portal gun's been destroyed months ago.

Shirn: I guess I'm trapped here forever.

Soulmire: But, I have a blueprint of the gun, and I only need materials for it.

Shirn: Let me see that. (Takes a look at the materials needed) These are new to me. Vanatitanium Rods, FerroZirconium  and AuruArgentum bars?

Soulmire: That's what makes this hard to make. I'm actually jealous of other dimensions. They can easily create theirs.

Shirn: You had travelled to other worlds, Soulmire?

Soulmire: Yeah. I visited Soulnesia's and Solome's world twice. But I saw her kill herself in front of another Shiro, when I visited her world for the second time. Anyway, the materials are hard to get, since they're now being secured by some of Malvar's pursuers. In exchange for the materials, I must give him to them.

Malvar: (pales in fear) To go that far.....

Shirn: Hey, can you give me the locations of the materials?  I'll harvest them instead.

Malvar: Shirn! That's too risky!

Shirn: But hey, I like risky situations. You don't know what's gonna happen next.

Soulmire: You're a weird guy, I'll tell you that. But here's the locations.

Shirn: I'll take that as a compliment. (Creates a portal back to the highschool Shirn first arrived to)

Soulmire: You can create portals? Then why didn't you just create one to exit this dimension?

Shirn: Read the message on the top of this chapter, that'll explain a lot.

Soulmire: (breaks the 4th wall, and reads it) Oh, I see now. Good luck then!

Sorry for the 4th wall break.

1st Neptune: Wasn't it already broken before?

Yeah. And we forgot to fix it. Anyway, I'll leave it at that because I'm too lazy to fix that now.

1st Neptune: Seriously??

And if I did fix it, you'll just break it again.

1st Neptune: You got a point there, disembodied voice.
