will be able to travel through Fantasia's atmosphere and drop down to Reali Ty."

"I'm sorry, I'm lost. What comes after we travel to Fantasia?" Dame asked in confusion.

"We'll know it when we get there, just promise that you'll come along with me. We'll watch each other's back and we'll never leave each other behind. Not even for a moment."

"Okay, okay. I'll go with you."

V held out his pinky. "Pinky swear?"

"What are we, kids?" Dame laughed and rolled her eyes.

"Just do it." V said in exasperation.

"Fine, fine. I have nothing to do in my immortal state. The more dangerous, the better. I'm in!"

They both locked pinkies and Dame braced herself for the adventure ahead.

 

Spring 17, 3040

Hollowcreek, Dimension R175

Doesn't have much population but this place is well known for its flowers creating nectars of milk, talking trees that bear ice as fruits, gelatin rocks and hardened chocolatemilk powder for the ground.

In one corner, Dame is sitting alone on a loaf of bench bread eating halo-halo and stabbing the dessert with a straw.

Sighing, she glanced at the huge colorful tent situated in the middle of the town plaza. It partly explains the people-less sidewalks of the town and Dame knew almost all of the people there attended to watch a famous travelling magician's Majik show.

"Dame!"

She turned and saw V running towards her. Out of breath, he managed to pant his apology, "I'm sorry for leaving you behind for a moment. Is the magic show starting?"

"Not yet, but let's get going!" Dame quickly stood and the two ran for the tent.

The show lasted for almost an hour and the famous travelling magician didn't disppoint either Dame or V. The tent was full that confirmed all of the townspeople were in that tent watching the show with V and Dame occupying front row seats.

"Thank you all for coming!" Majik charmingly announced to his audience. "I hope I hadn't bore you with my street act."

The audience resonated with a loud 'No' and chanting of 'More, more, more' from the people began.

Majik held a hand over his chest. "Thank you all. How you flatter me so. I shall do my best not to disappoint... With my last and final trick." he then smiled evilly.

Dame gripped the armrest of her chair with intense anticipation and she could feel V practically bouncing in his seat in excitement. But she froze the moment she felt something sharp run through her left chest.

Fear replaced excitement as sounds of pained moans and anguished shrieks fill the tent. Chair after chair sprung a deadly blade that pierces the one sitting there through the heart for a quick kill and washed the already bloody red carpet with a fresh coat of blood.

The sudden silence of the tent made Dame's impaled heart pound against the blade from the chair. She could feel no pain unless she willed it to but fear, surprise and shock turned her knees weak stopping her bolting from the seat and make a run for it.

The people... They're all dead, her mind seem to chant those words over and over again.

She thought it was over but sudden screams from the victims' souls echo around her and Dame just stared as a woman went in front of the stage gracefully.

Dame's eyes widened upon seeing the woman opening her mouth so wide, it reached the floor she was standing on and the screaming souls were sucked in like they were noodles of spaghetti! And... Silence once more.

Dame was petrified and she yelped in surprise when V suddenly clapped wildly beside her.

"Encore! Encore! That was magnificent! The finale pierced straight through my heart! It was so magnificent!" He whistled, cheered and threw a rose at the woman, not minding the blade that was lodged through his chest and his blood gushing out of the wound.

The woman on the stage curtsied and gave a gentle smile and nod at V.

Shaking her head that V seem to be genuinely happy with the act, something caught her attention more.

Dame whipped her head towards him and glared, "V! You're an immortal, too, and you didn't tell me?"

V frowned. "Honestly, Dame, we've been together for a day now and you didn't know?"

Dame itched to punch him in the face again but a more disturbing matter won her attention the most.

"How dare you! How dare you kill these people! You evil thieves and murderers!" Dame shouted and gripped at the knife before pulling it out in one stroke. Dame winced at the blood staining her clothes.

Majik gave a sigh and rolled his eyes as he opened the locket he's wearing and the woman who ate the souls turned to mist and going into the locket.

"Great, of all the times to have immortal audiences."

Dame was about to protest again when the wails of the interdimensional police cars suddenly filled the tent. Majik and V became panicky all of a sudden that made Dame frown.

'Why even V?' she thought as she watch him pull the blade from his chest swiftly and rather... professionally?

Majik exited quickly at the back of the tent and V leapt out of his seat, grabbing Dame by the hand and the both of them follow Majik out of the tent leading them into the jungle.

"So... Where are we going?" Dame asked cooly, feeling calm all of a sudden despite the three of them still on the run.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you good-for-nothing immortals following me?!" Majik screamed at them.

The wailing of the police car suddenly became louder that the three of them picked up speed.

"Well, I guess we have no choice." V panted and with a flick of his wrist, his wristwatch flew out of his wrist and turned into a pocketwatch the moment he caught it.

Majik glanced at them and did a double take the moment he saw what V was holding.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Portal clocks are illegal! Who the hell are you people!?"

Dame brightened at the sudden thought. "I remembered something! Does that mean that you also sold my planet illegally?"

"What? He sold your planet?" Majik asked, confused.

"Hey, if a man made one illegal act doesn't mean all he does is illegal." V said seriously that made Majik and Dame silent as they ponder his claim.

"Yeah, I forgive you both for thinking the worst of me. Besides, Dame, we made good use with the money your planet gave us, right?" V suddenly grinned.

Dame raged at that. "That's why we're running from the police! V, you son of a--"

"Wait, V? You're V?" Majik hastily cut of Dame's comment. "The most wanted man in Sereda?!"

"Most wanted?!" Dame almost screeched. "After all of those bragging and self-assured statements of being a good person?!"

"Oh, be quiet, you two!" V growled. "It's not like you two were a good enough person worthy to say that to me! Majik, what you did back there was worse than what I did and Dame! Don't think that I don't know about that time when you stole a potato chip in Micro Stop when you were in high school! Both of you have faults too and don't go judging me as if you two are saints!" V panted as he finished his speech.

"When I stole... How did you know that?" Dame demanded.

V kept silent and when the police car blared near them, they all jerked in surprise that V dropped the pocketwatch.

The moment it fell on the ground, it turned itself on and it suddenly lit up brightly, creating a portal just a step between them. Since they were running, it was too late for them to stop, they all fell into the portal.

“Ahhhhh! I didn’t set the coordinates properly!!!!!” V shouted.

“Why am I even with you guys in this?!” Majik shouted back.

‘What am I doing with my life?’, Dame thought, resigned just as the portal closed after them.

 

Sugar Cubes 1 cup, @)$)

???, Dimension ???

The three were unconscious in a dark part of some forest when colorful birds suddenly flocked around Majik holding spoon and forks. The birds closed their eyes and began to pray. Thankfully, Majik woke up before they finished praying and he shooed the flock away.

He went over to an unconscious V in a rock and kicked him, V woke up at that and with nothing to hold onto, he fell from the rock and thudded on the ground.

“What the heck, man? Can’t you see people are getting some sleep here?” V sniped and tried to get up when he noticed that the rock he was lying on before was not a rock but a marshmallow. He began eating afterwards.

“Do you have any idea where the hell are we? If you hadn’t followed me, this will never happen to me and Crone!” Majik shouted at V while holding his necklace tightly.

“How the heck will I know?! Hmm, this is delicious. Even though it’s rock-flavored,” V muffled against the mallows rocks he keeps on eating and glanced at his wristwatch. “Sugar Cubes 1 cup, @)$). Hmm… I wonder what world has that kind of dating system…”

“I’m not in the mood to play your games, V. Don’t finish all the marshmallows! Move over!” Majik sat down beside V when the latter scooted over and grabbed a mallow. “Oh, right, who’s that girl you’re with, by the way?” He asked as he bit into the mallow and glancing over a still unconscious Dame lying beside V.

“Oh, that’s Dame, a friend from Vilestras. She came with me because--”

“You sold her world…” Majik butted in.

“Hey! What I did was not that bad! One! Her world is dying. Two! Her people made her immortal and Three! When I went over to her world, all of the people there are dead and she’s the only one left. That’s why I made her come with me so she can start anew in Reali Ty.”

“And that’s because you sold her world…” Majik added in again.

“We needed the money! And there are other beings who needed to stay in that world! And--”

“V, I’ve been to Sereda before…”

V’s eyes widened in shock and laughed a bit. “So, if that’s the case, you know who I am?”

“Sereda, Dimension E666.” Majik started. “All of the people there are immortal but all of them has a certain weakness. If you know one’s weakness, you can kill them and you’re rank will go up. If your rank is high, you’ll receive a lot of benefits. If you kill someone who has a higher rank than you, your own rank will rocket up and almost all of the stuff in Sereda will be available to you for free. And you, Vincent, famously known as V, is the most wanted man in Sereda.”

Majik stopped eating and stared at the marshmallow he was holding. “What happened to you? Why are you here?”

V gave a maniacal laugh. “Majik, Majik, Majik…” V murmured while shaking his head. “Why is you name Majik, anyway? Is it really your name or is it just a stage name so that other people will know how cool you are?”

“Just answer my damned question!” Majik exploded, his hand fisting, itching to punch V in the face.

“Haha, okay, okay! Calm down, geez…” V said, laughing. “In Sereda, when one reaches 18, your parents will have nothing to do with you. You have nothing when you have a low rank. Worse, when you have no rank, at all. You have no home. Food is very limited and all the things you could ever own are very old stuff.” V leaned back and stared at the sky with his empty gaze.

“At that time, I had a friend. The both of us were None Rankers. One day, he learned about my weakness and tried to kill me. Whatever I say to him, he wouldn’t listen. He just kept on trying to kill me. I realized that our friendship… was dead and gone.”

The sky seem to sympathize when it suddenly grown dark and rain began falling.

“And then? What happened next?” Majik asked, not caring if he and V were beginning to get wet.

“I killed him…” V answered as he pulled a
