We all got into our battle outfits and met in the simulation room. "We are ready, cubby; who's our first opponent?" Eva asked excitedly. The room then transformed into an open field with a large rose-petal tree on a small hill. "A Rachel clone?" Chris asked. A replica version of me appeared behind the tree, strolling towards us. We all got ready to fight, and so did my replica. We were all standing there waiting for my clone to make a move, but it just wouldn't make a move. "It's trying to counter," Eva said to us. We all charged at my clone at once since it couldn't possibly counter all of us, but sadly, it was able to. It countered Chris's new move, Eva trying to punch them, Tyler lighting strikes, she just countered everything at once. We all tried again, but this time, we could land attacks; she barely staggered from our attacks until Eva hit it with a strong punch mixed with Tyler's lighting. We were finally able to keep attacking her, even able to defend ourselves against her, especially Jacqueline, whose shield was blocking everything. "Something's changing," Chloe said, worried. Chloe froze the clone with an ice blast quickly. "So I'm not the only one noticing it," Jacqueline said. "Notice wha...Ummmm." Eva turned around with all of us to see the tree flower blossoms turning red and the tree having red glowing veins from it.


"Rebirth...REBIRTH COVER!!" Chloe yelled as we all got behind Jacqueline, who put up a large shield around us. 11We then saw a large bird from the sky diving down straight into the clone's body, causing a massive explosion to happen, but Jacqueline's Shield was barely able to block all of it. Once the dust cleared, we saw the clone standing there with her katana in the ground. A loud, agonizing roar filled the room and shook the ground around us. "Bahamut," the clone said. "You can speak?" I asked. "Yes. And that roar was Bahamut; everyone felt that outside of this simulation," she said. "How do you know this? Are you one of them?" Chris asked, pulling out his sword again. "No, I'm her; I'm her conscious. Everything you felt, I have felt, everything you did, I have done...everything good, that is." She explains while walking towards me and placing her hand on my head. "You'll know when to use this; if you give up, you'll never be able to fully be who you want to be. You wanted to be a teacher to everyone, grow a family, or at least have a daughter or son, and watch them do what we did. We want that; let's not forget that, please." She tells me before the room begins to slowly disappear. "What's happening?" Tyler ask. "I'm forcing you out until later. I know this battle was short, but it's for the best," She says. She then looks at Chloe and lets out a sigh. "I hope this goes right," she says as the room entirely disappears.


After everything returned to normal, I pulled out my katana and pointed it at Chloe's throat. "What do you know?" I asked. But then I heard a voice telling me, "Stop. If you attack her, you all will never succeed," The voice said before I noticed I was in an area that was all white. "Who are you? And what do you mean not to attack her? My conscience said she hoped this goes right to her!" I yelled at the voice. "Then, if you decided to attack and go on about without listening, then go ahead. I will not save you again when you fail, and I'll let the night take over your world." The voice went from a peaceful tone to a booming, unsettling tone. "Now you listen. If you and the others do not go about what you are supposed to do, you will never get to be who you all want to be. This world is on the break of failing like the other worlds. This is why darkness is growing so much but mixing with light. The heroes of other worlds are trying to fix their mistakes, but it will lead to nothing," She explains. "Power hungry?" I asked, scared by the voice now. "Yes, and it's because of one person who created you all. Once each of you are strong i will tell each one of you but right now you're fighting yourself of world 1, the first ever world to be created" The voice explained. "So if we don't help Chloe, who is your maker and the maker of this world, then all hope is lost?" I asked the voice. "She's not my maker, but now you get it? Chloe isn't from this world; she created everything, but each time she created, she would fall into a depression, forgetting about the worlds she made and creating a new one. So, to prevent that from happening again, she combined her world with this fictional one, but now, each world wants revenge for her forgetting about her. Her name is Debra, but refer to her as Chloe until everyone finds out." The voice told me. "So this must be why I feel like I have full control of myself, not someone bound to a story. I noticed that Jacqueline is always around Chloe. She's not from here, is she?" I asked the voice. "No, she is not. Also, each of you represents something about Chloe. You represent her by still going on, especially with your injury from the past, you don't let your injury get to you, but even then, sometimes you feel like shit since you can't fully do what you want to do," The voice explained. I stood in silence, trying to come up with what to say, but I couldn't. "If you ever have more to ask, just dream of me, and I'll ask, but for now, you should go back to what you're doing. Again, don't say anything to others who don't know. Only Chloe and Jacqueline themselves. Goodbye for now," the voice stopped talking, and I closed my eyes.


I woke up in bed and looked outside to see it was the afternoon now, not the morning. I then looked over and saw Chloe's painting. It was a painting of Angel. "I don't remember making Angel way back then," She said, concerned. "Is she from another world?" I asked. Chloe went to respond but then stopped and was shocked. "That's Eva. Eva was a shapeshifter back then," Chloe said. "Even then, that doesn't make sense; Leona was betrayed, then she got corrupted by darkness and made her own hideout...was that really Leona at that point? Leona was on her own, so they got a hold of her, just took her powers, and then when we met them, they gave her back. So, for many years, she was hurt by them. But how did we or anyone else notice they were here years ago?" I asked. "Because they were hiding. Remember, they broke reality like I and Jacqueline did, so it was easy to hide. I'm sorry," Chloe looking down. "The fuck did you do? These worlds were just made so you could be happy. This is just saying we need to make you fully happy or better yourself by making you just...how would this work?" I stopped and asked. "I guess I just have to accept anything I don't want to. If I give up again and don't accept, then this all will happen again, or the world will just go away," Chloe explains, finishing a drawing of the world 1 Eva. ""This is how she looked," Chloe said, turning the painting to me. This Eva was much different from my world, Eva. World one: Eva was white, with pitch-black long hair all around, even over her eyes; she has some weird tattoos on her arms that are glowing purple but also has like an aura around her arm that separated from her body; this one also isn't lewd it seems like, she's also not that built like my world Eva. "Our world is a mage/fighting...this one seems like just a mage," I said. "A witch more like it' Chloe said. "So we try and fight this fake Eva, and I drain it of its darkness, and you do what you need to do, and that's it?" I asked. "In short terms, yes," Chloe said, getting up. "Now, before you go, can you tell me about the monsters we've been fighting?" I asked Chloe. "No. This is something that happens only in this world. But I can say these monsters were around years and years ago in different places. Since they are now here, maybe the other world has enchanted them or brought them from other worlds and brought them. Cause there's that one monster being detected underground in a cave, remember?." Chloe asked. I was so confused by all of this but just said fuck it, at this point. Chloe and I went to the kitchen to eat, and we all relaxed for the rest of the day until the next day.
