If we were going to stop Gabby, we were going to need the right tools to fight back. The plan was to get what we need from a store that basically has everything you can think of. Thankfully, the store was located in Raculus, which meant that we didn't have to go far when it was time to save the day.

I parked the van in the parking lot of the store and we all got out. A sign on the widow of the store said that they sold everything from weapons to junk food to medicine. I was relieved to read the last one because I was in desperate need of something to calm my nerves from traveling through worlds. I should really stop traveling in a magical flying van.

"You okay?" Philip asked when he saw my face.

"I'm fine. I just need to get out of the van," I said as I unbuckled my seatbelt. At that moment, I poked my head out the window and puked.

"And if you look to your left, you will see a fatass puking onto the sidewalk. Hopefully, this will put him out of his misery," Poofy said, commentating the situation.

"Someone's gonna get put out of their misery and it isn't going to be me Poofy," I told him as I wiped my mouth with my sleeve. We were about to enter the store when Philip told us to stop.

"How the hell are we going to pay for all the stuff we need?" Philip asked. Sarah pulled a credit card from her pocket while Jimmy printed something from his chest.

"Don't you guys carry around your plastic currency thingy?" Jimmy asked.

"No they don't. They're not originally from the multiverse Jimmy," Sarah explained to the robot.

"Oh, so they're dimensional traveling hippies. Thanks for the information," Jimmy said. Sarah and Poofy were cracking up over Jimmy's description of us.

"You can laugh all you want, but until we figure out how to get some dimensional currency of our own, we're bumming money off of you," I told them as I proceeded to walk into the store.

"Welcome to Weapons to Go, the best store to find anything that exists. Please don't shoplift or do anything illegal and enjoy the rest of your day," a store greeter said as I walked past him. It was at that moment that I realized just how giant the store really was. The other appeared behind me as I began looking for medicine.

"What are you doing Wesley? We're supposed to be getting everything we need to stop Gabby," Sarah said to me.

"You guys go ahead and grab what we need. I'm going to look for something so that I can travel through universes with ease," I said. Sarah nodded and went in her own direction as I wandered through the store. It took me a minute, but I finally found the medical isle, complete with a section containing medicine for dimensional travel sickness. I grabbed a bottle of pills and walked up towards the pharmacy counter, where an old man was standing.

"Excuse me sir, how much does this cost?" I asked, placing the pill bottle on the counter.

"I'm sorry sonny, but the cost for that is much too high for someone like you," the old man said.

"Look sir, if the pills will help me not be sick, then I'll pay whatever I have to," I said very stupidly.

"Well in that case..." the man said as he smiled, revealing a set of razor sharp teeth. I backed away from the counter as the man's head turned around in a complete circle. He crawled over the counter towards me. "You'll pay with blood!" the man said in a demonic voice.

"You know what; I decided that I don't need anything. Thanks for the help," I said as I yeeted myself away from him. The old man began to run on all fours as he started to chase me. "Why does this always happen when we least expect it?" I yelled out loud as I ran as fast as I could. I tried to shake the evil senior citizen by running through the different isles, but the old man wouldn't give up the chase.

"I will eat your flesh off while I wash it down with your blood," the old guy said as it started gaining on me.

"No you won't!" I screamed as I neared the front of the store. My friends were already paying for the stuff we needed. When they turned to see me running towards them with a man eating old guy behind me, I think Philip and Poofy pissed themselves.

"Your mine!" the old man yelled as he jumped towards me. Suddenly, there was the sound of a gun going off and the old man flew backwards through the air. The wrinkled villain fell to the ground dead as I turned to look at who had shot the evil old man. It was our good friend Enoch.

"You guys can't survive a single day in the multiverse without me can you?" Enoch asked as he reloaded his gun, prepared to shoot anything else that might attack. I sighed in relief as I opened my hand to find the pill bottle in it. Something told me that I definitely wasn't going to pay with blood.

. . . . . . .

"So let me get this straight; you guys learned that you have a long lost sister and that she might be on her way to destroy an entire civilization as we speak?" Enoch asked as we started to pile back into the van.

"Yep, that's right," I answered. We caught Enoch up on our current situation as he told us that he had to beg Olivia to let him join us. In the end, she agreed to let him go as long as he returned within the next forty-eight hours.

"Hello there, I don't believe we've met. My name is Jimmy," the robot said as he tried to shake Enoch's hand.

"I'm pretty sure we have met before. You thought I was your dad remember?" Enoch explained.

"WHAT? You're my dad? This is insane!" Jimmy yelled excitedly.

"What, no I just said I'm not your dad. Do I look like a robot to you?" Enoch asked Jimmy.

"Of course you do, you're my dad," Jimmy responded.

"I did tell you he has brain damage," I said to Enoch.

"Can we just focus on the fact that we are on a mission please?" Sarah asked. I smiled as I opened the bottle of pills and swallowed one.

"I sure hope these pills kick in fast," I said as I started up the van.

"Sup idiot. Did you miss me?" Poofy asked Enoch, crawling onto his shoulder.

"If I say yes will you get off of my shoulder?" Enoch asked back.

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't," Poofy answered.

"I want you to know that I truly hate you," Enoch told him as he brushed Poofy off of him.

"You love me, you know you do," Poofy replied.

"Loving you is like loving rat poison. I don't want to kill myself right now, so I'm just going to avoid you for the time being,"
