Chapter 5 - Act 3: A place to call home

"How about we wear a disguise!" Jaki said to me. "Like what." I said in a straightforward tone. "Jaki went into the back of her spacecraft and pulled out two black hoodies.

"That's our disguise??" I asked. "We're just gonna look even more suspicious!" So we put the hoodies on and found a way to get in there. The weapon base was really big and it was dark inside, so we had to use flashlights.

We walked through the long hallways and up the stairs. After a while, we found a door, it was locked. "Damnit. It's locked." Jaki whispered. "Then what the hell was the point of going through all of that just to get here!?" I whispered yelled at her. Jaki pulled out a wire from her pocket and said "Good thing I always bring one of these just in case!"

She put the wire in the lock and opened the door. Inside were a huge variety of weapons from firearms, to knives, to missiles. "Woah! Look at all this!" Jaki said in awe as she went inside.

"I'm sorry, this is why we came all the way here for?" I said in a sarcastic tone. "We came all the way here, just so you could look at some firearms."

Once I said that, an alarm went off, somehow..even though we didn't even touch anything! When the alarm went off, from the vents, a whole swarm of little monster things(yōmus) were crowding around us. "See! Now look what you did!" I scolded Jaki. "Alright Dom, looks like it's time for some action..."

Jaki said as she brought out the AK-47 from her back. I also brought my weapon out as well, here we go.

Me and Jaki go on a rather violent action spree as the yōmus splat out purple blood left and right(WTF!?)

I swung my axe though the swarm of small monsters while Jaki shot them with her gun. We ran through the whole building until we reached a window. "Let's get out of here!" Jaki yelled.

She said before we jumped out. We landed perfectly as it wasn't a high window. "Now what do we do!?" I said. "Let's take the Spacecraft!" Jaki said to me. "Isn't that thing broken!?" "Don't worry it still works!". We got into the Spacecraft and drove off.

And after aaaall​ of that, I actually had a somewhat decent amount sleep.

9:30 AM

I woke up still in Jaki's Spacecraft. I went in my backpack and pulled up my phone to see what time it was. I saw that Jaki wasn't in the driver's seat but then I saw that we were parked near a fast food chain. She came back with some food. "Rise and shine! Ya hungry?" She said to me. So I ate and then I decided to leave.

"Hey wait where ya going?" Jaki asked me. "Well it's been nice knowing you, despite all the crap you've put me through. but I think it's time I go on my own journey." I said to her. "Well where are you going to stay?" "I don't know, but I'd rather just be alone than have to deal with anyone. So long." "Oh, uh..ok." Well that's the first time I've ever seen Jaki quiet.

So I went back to walking to find a place to call home. After a long walk, I stepped on something. "What the-" I said. There was something in the snow. I put my axe down and started digging.

From the snow, I found a brown teddy bear with a big red eye on the left and a big button for another eye on the right, huge sharp teeth, and wearing a red bandana over his neck. I don't know how this thing got here, it must have been some kids toy that they must have left. It was pretty life size too, about 3 feet tall.

"HELLO!!!!!!!" The teddy bear said to me as it suddenly came to life and yelled. I was shook and immediately dropped the doll and fell. "d-​​​​​d-DID THAT THING JUST TALK!?" I yelled.

"Yes, I did just talk, and I'm not a thing! The name's Kleiner Teddy!" Kleiner Teddy said. I sat there and stared at him in utter shock of what the hell I just witnessed. "So! What's your name, buddy?" He asked me.

I stared at him one last time, then got up and picked up my axe and said to him " ok! I have seen waaaay too many bizarre things for the past few days and I should really get going now so I'm just gonna go." And I walked off....but for some FRICKIN REASON this DAMN COTTONBALL WAS FOLLOWING ME. "are you seriously following me!?" I said. "Well, since we're friends now..I thought I could join you on your journey!" Kleiner Teddy told me. I turned around and said "I'm sorry...FREINDS!?" "Yeah, Friends! Y'know! We're both humans from earth in an unfamiliar world.." "you're a sentient plush bear." "And we both have opposite personalities!"

"Yeah, no." I said as I walked away. this damn bear was still following me. "WOULD YOU STOP!?" I yelled. Kleiner Teddy was still following me! I kept walking, he was still following me! I walked more and more and kept following with his big stupid dinosaur looking a** teeth.

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY STILL FOLLOWING ME!?" I yelled at him again "WHAT ARE YOU SMILING ABOUT???" he just looked at me for like 10 seconds and said "wanna hear the story of how I tampered with violent delinquents? "NO!!!" "So it all started when-!" Then he just went ON AND ON for HOURS AND HOURS about stupid crap that I do not care about. And I thought Jaki was unhinged!

This guy takes it up to an eleven! After a while, we reached a cliff. So to get him to shut up there was one thing left to do. "Hey! Cleaner Teddy!" I said in a fake happy tone "Kleiner Teddy." Kleiner Teddy said.

"I heard that there this magical place called "Shut up Land" where little bastards like you learn to behave and shut the hell up!" "Oh boy! Where is it??" "Oh I know a short cut!" Then I kicked him off the cliff. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaah" Kleiner Teddy blood curdlingly screamed. ​​​"Finally got that jackass out of my way." I said as I walked off.

After a while, it was starting to get dark. I haven't found a house to stay in after all this time, since I don't have a map. I was in the middle of nowhere (another damn forest), and I just stood there stalling, wondering to myself "where am I even going!??? I've just been walking around and going nowhere!!!" 

Then I heard something.."huh?" I said. It was the sound of the trees shuttering, I saw a silhouette rushing through the trees. I naturally assumed it would be another monster or animal or something so I pulled out my axe ready for a fight, I exclaimed "Who goes there!? Come out and show yourself!!". The noise became louder and louder until a boy fell down from a tree.

After I saw who this really was, I lowered my weapon a bit and I was really confused, I thought to myself "what the hell is a kid doing here in a place like this?". The boy had light blonde hair, wore a beanie, an over sized purple Saturn graphic tee with lavender and black striped sleeves, black gym shorts, purple socks and purple sneakers.

The boy looked terrified for some reason."p-p-PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!" the boy pleaded. I responded with "What the hell makes you think that!?" "Uhm...well..you have an...axe...in you're hand.." "Oh, right." *Puts axe behind back* 

 "So....what are you doing out here in the forest? And where are you're parents?" I asked. "My...parents?" He answered. "I-I don't..know....all I remember is running away from my home and finding a blue key....now I don't know where I am....*hic* I don't know what to do." The guy said, tears welling in his eyes. I actually kinda felt a bit bad for him, but I had to tell him the truth.

"Yeah, sorry you have to hear this but, your not on Earth anymore. I'm sorry." I said bluntly. "W-w-what do mean???" He asked. "Going off of my research, if you happened to witness a blue glowing key in the middle of nowhere and grabbed it, your not in your universe anymore...your in The Boundless Realm.

"Well.... will I ever be able to go back...?" He said as his voice started to shake. "It's very unlikely." I said. "Oh..." "Well, looks like a gotta go. Hope you can find your way somehow." "Ok.." And I went off again. I was thinking this time I could try to find a motel to stay in.

It was EXTREMELY late and I was starting to REALLY irritatble from walking and sleep deprivation and the starvation aside from the few snacks I put in my backpack. I was so desperate to find a house to stay in so I can SLEEP!!

 I stumbled upon some sort of lab or whatever, I don't even know anymore, I don't care if some loud obnoxious bozo lives there I just need to stay 1 NIGHT and then get the hell out.

So I rang the doorbell and someone actually came. "Who are you." Someone said as he slightly opened the door "Uhm...my name is Dom-"I said nervously. "I don't know anyone by that title." And he shut the door. "Nononono wait wait! You gotta help me!"

I said. "You see, I need a place to stay because for the past few days I've been trying to find a house or a hotel or something and I don't have a map for this place because I was transported here from some magical blue key thing that I found in an old shed-" "wait-" The guy said. "Did you say...magical blue key?" "Um...yes?" I said.

"Come in." The guy said as he opened the door. The guy had mid length light brown hair tied up in a ponytail and was wearing black specs, a greyish-blue hoodie over a white button up shirt with a back bow tied under the collar, black pants and black church shoes.

We walked inside of his lab and then he said to me "By the way, my name is Markus, and you?" For some reason I felt the need to say my full name so I said "Dominic."

"Nice to meet you Dominic. Now, what brings you in this dimension?" "I literally just told you...I ran away from home(do NOT ask why)and found an old shed in a forest that had a blue glowing key and so I grabbed it for whatever reason and ended up here!....I also really need a place to stay..."

"Well Dominic, I just so happen to have a house, and might some room left for you." Mark said. "Ok, well, show me." I said. We walked over a few miles to his his house which was a decent sized white house that could probably fit a family.

"Here it is." He said. I went inside....and was immediately JUMPSCARED by all three of the people I happened to meet before!! "SURPRISE!!!!!"

"GAAAH!!!! YOU GUYS AGAIN!?!?" "WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME, DOM!!!!!" Kleiner Teddy screamed at the top of his lungs. "OW....WHAT THE HELL!?" I said. "Wait.... did you guys set this up??? Were you all secretly watching me!?" After I said that, everything got awkward. "Uhm.....no." Jaki said.

"Actually I came here because that guy asked me if I wanted a place to stay..." Kleiner Teddy claimed. "Yeah this teddy bear came up to me and asked if I wanted to live with him.." Jaki also claimed. " Same with me...." Eli claimed. 

"You know what? I think I'd rather just live on my own." I said before I stormed off. But sadly, Resident nuisance, Kleiner Teddy of all people, stopped me. "Hey hey wait! Where are you going?" Kleiner Teddy asked. "GOING NOWHERE!" I yelled at him. "Golly! Why are you so aggressive??" "Look, Crapper Freddy, I have absolutely ​​​​​​, undeniably ZERO DESIRE to associate with ANYONE here. So screw off and leave me alone."

"Well if you don't wanna associate with anyone than why did you come here." "Th-that doesn't matter!!" "You know, think logically here. You're in an entirely different realm, you're have no shelter, you've been walking for ages, and finally someone offers you a home, but you reject it. Where do go now? Are you just gonna live in a cave where wild monsters and untamed animals can come and eat you? Where are you going to get you basic needs? Where are you going eat? Sleep? Shower? Take care of yourself?" Damn it, the stuffed animal had a point. "ugh.....fine. I'll stay with you. BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY!"

So I go inside of the house, and we do this introduction thing to each other. "I'll go first!" KT said. "My name is Kleiner Teddy, I am 16 years old, and I've been here for 4 years." "My name is Jakiya Avril Pierce but you can call me Jaki, I am 16 years old, and I've been here for 5 years." "My name is Markus Deshan Khan, and I've been here for 7 years."

"Um...my name is Elliot Felix Hollows, I am 16-" Jaki Immediately stopped him. "WOAH WOAH WOAH!!" Jaki yelled. "HUH!? WHAT!? DID I SAY SOMETHING WRONG!?!!" Eli asked. "You're tellin' me....that you're same age as me????" "....yes....?" "YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST GRADUATED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!" Kleiner Teddy yelled in shock. "No. I think he's just short. And also I think the hat and his clothing choice makes him look younger." Mark said. 

Then it was my turn, "My name is Dominic Aaron Lanes, I am 16 years old, and I wanna get the hell outta here." Everyone frickin clapped for some reason. "WOOHOO!!!! GREAT SPEECH!!!!" Kleiner Teddy yelled(does this thing ever shut up??) "Ok. Where's my room?" I asked Mark. "Third room upstairs on the left." Then I went upstairs to my room.

I put my backpack down, I sat on my bed, and whispered to myself "What have I gotten myself into...".
