Realities colliding

Chapter 6

    "Time to rally the council!"
       I managed to get Mara to not eat the child (now I owe her a full meal and a house so she can destroy it) and return the child to his mother. The mother was very grateful for saving her child and luckily the Inari of the Blacksmith village closed all the portals!

       But now here comes the difficult part.... Having to tell them to leave their home. I basically caught Mara all the way up to speed with what happened over the prophecy and the professor raging war against us. Her response was that she only helped us, because she can't have someone else be the villain of our reality. Classic Mara, thankfully the townsfolk seemed relaxed at the moment that I retrieved the child.

       Until, I bear the bad news to them.... Ooh boy, I've never been one to really give bad news. I always tried to make people happy, but they weren't going to take this good at ALL! We're going to LITERAL WAR WHICH WE CAN ONLY DEFEND OURSELVES BECAUSE ASTRALS POWER PROHIBITS US FROM DOING ANYTHING!

      I was on the mayor's podium as the townsfolk looked up at me for what I had to tell them. Sweating bullets while also having a meltdown, when Mara simply just said nonchalantly "We're going to war with the Doctor." Which all chaos was unleashed with dismayed answers and I couldn't even answer any of their questions. They just continued bombarming confused and angry questions at us as I just made myself look small. 'I'm not suited for stuff like this!'

    But Mara was a natural born leader and always got straight to the point. She bellowed out "EVERYONE BE QUIET BEFORE I DEVOUR YOU ALL!" Altough we weren't allowed to show any violence of the sort towards each other anymore. It effectively shut everyone up as she composed herself. "*Ahem* now if you'll allow us to elaborate!" She glared at everyone as they just nodded terrified as even Alexander seemed a bit shaken up.
  
     She continued after everyone agreed saying "The doctor has somehow managed to mutate or create hybrids of creatures with his people in his reality, now he's declaring war for complete control over our reality as we know it." Everyone looked stunned and afraid to respond as we all "thought" the professor was a good man. I pleaded to all of them "I know you guys love this place, it's your home but please! I ask you guys to evacuate this place as fast as you can,I'm sorry I couldn't stop this from happening. But we're going to fix this, just...trust us. Please."

    I couldn't bring myself to look at them, too afraid they'd be disappointed in me, while Mara gave me a sympathetic look before giving everyone in the village a murderous glare. The silence was only making me think I was right before the child I saved appeared from the crowd saying "You don't have to be sorry for anything, Mr.Rep!" I looked up in shock as ever in the village and smiled at me with loving stares. A Machina from Magnetek's creation spoke up "Although our situation is dire, we won't hold it against you. If anything we're proud and happy to be friends with someone like you, lord Rep." Everyone in the village nodded in agreement as tears threatened to come out of my eyes.

  "Thank you, everyone".....

  Now it's time we search for the 16 members of the council.......
