"Say that again?"

Doc was explaining exactly how the portal/cloning machine worked (as everyone else wanted alters of their own) but no one really understood all the dimensional portal stuff. Which was to be expected, really...

The creeper hybrid had advised Grian and everyone else that one more alter would come through until the machine reset itself.

"Oh, come on!" the green-sweatered Grian said. "Not more people..."

"It's honestly fine." Blue Grian said. "More people is a good thing in my book."

"We kinda need to have some nicknames." the original Grian piped up. "I'll just be Grian, you be Blue, and the two new people?"

"I would say Green but that's repetitive and unoriginal. What about Charles?" the green-sweater alter said.

"Charles, right. And you?" Grian turned to the dragon-winged version of him.

"Xelqua." said the purple Grian.

"Weird name..."

"Don't judge me."

Two weeks after that, Charles and set fire to an entire jungle, TNT'd a woodland mansion, and gleefully slaughtered the entire population of any animal whatsoever.

Xelqua, on the other hand, was slightly less of a nuisance, but would live so far out in the End Islands that visiting him to deliver items, buy from his shop, or say hello would be extremely time-consuming. Also, his name made it harder to call Xisuma 'X', as no one would know which X it was.

The other alter was still yet to be seen, until one day when the machine suddenly started whirring again...

So about Grain being in this chapter...I lied. Sorry. There's still one more non-Grain filler then it's the bread man himself's time to shine.
