• As the other Ana Maht and I rode off to her kingdom and home to find a safe place from my evil doppelganger, I noticed a lot of differences between the Ana I know and the one I was with. Other dimension Ana was more confident and competent. You could tell by the way she would rode Albert. It was like she had got on the back of a miniature pony, not a beastly creature like Albert. Another tell-tale sign was her face of determination. Her face showed complete and utter focus on getting to that kingdom. I kind of wished same could have been said about me. I hardly ever really enjoy the rides I take on Albert. But, this was ridiculous. I felt like my stomach was going to practically jump out of my mouth and explode. Thankfully, Other dimension Ana whipped out her wand and used her magic to conjure up some straps to keep me from bouncing any longer.
    After completing our incredibly long journey to O.D. Ana's (other dimension Ana's) kingdom, we finally reached the gates to it. That was when O.D. Ana turned to me gave me this wonderful plan to get into the City without spooking the people. Are you ready to hear this? I,mean, are you really ready to hear this? O.D. Ana's “wonderful plan” is basically covers me up in the worst smelling blanket in the history of the world and decides I should take the “oh-so pleasant” secret passage, or a.k.a.: the city sewer. Jason Kruse alive, it smelled worst than one of Albert's farts after he had a sauerkraut and egg salad sandwich for lunch. The smell reminded me of the first time I had been covered in slime. I took weeks just to get that gross stench out of my suit. And what made this even more fun was the fact the sewer was at five miles long. If it had not for the gutters venting in fresh air, I think I would have died from the deadly fumes that permeated the walls of that sewers.
    Finally, I sighed a breathe of relief when I found the vent that O.D. Ana mentioned and crawled
    out. This is when I met the O.D. version of Quest. He was wearing a suit that had much brighter colors on it. Then the most shocking thing ever, O.D. Quest was actually smiling. It was kind of creepy and even more so when he helped me up. It was real weird because I have never had Quest be that nice to me and not call me runt or something. O.D. Quest led me down the corridor to O.D. Ana's throne room.
    On the way, we ran into a lot people I recognized, yet they weren't those people. I will start with Graer who is usually a comedic,wise-cracker. Seemed to be very reserved and quiet. When he spoke to me and Quest, his voice carried a very solemn tone. And on his face, Graer had this long scar that ran down his left eye. When I asked him about it, he said he had gotten it in a fight with the evil me. That was when he had to cover his face and turned away in actual shamefulness. I tried to console him. But, he was just a little too far gone.
    The next person was the O.D. Gatling. As you probably guessed, Gatling was gruff and a lot less diplomatic than the Gatling I knew. It felt weird having him calling me runt over Quest calling me that. He asked me how I ended up in their dimension. I told him the whole story.
    “Oh, I see,dimension transference spell.” he said rubbing his stubbly chin while he tried soak up all the information I had given him. “hmm, I have read about this before. Have you told that little witch,yet?”
    “Yes and isn't her name Princess Ana Maht?” I asked while thinking of all the times I had to constantly remind Quest not to call me runt.
    “Yeah,whatever.” Gatling said in a disparaging tone and walked into the distance.
    “Please let me apologize for Gatling's bad behavior. The princess and him have never been on note.” Quest explained, “You see a long time ago, Ana's parents banished him for putting her in danger even though he saved her in the end. But due to this past war with the evil prince Nestor. She asked him for his help. But, he refused and she...”
    “Put the allegiance spell on him.” I interrupted O.D. Quest forlornly.
    “Why yes. But, how did you know that?” O.D. Quest asked in complete amazement.
    “Let's just say it was a lucky guess.” I replied back.
    Well by the time, O.D. Quest and I had finally arrived at the O. D. Ana's enchanting throne room. The whole room had a crystalline pillars that looked like they were growing all around the room because of the beautiful reflecting floor and ceiling. And there she was, O.D. Ana sitting with great poise and grace on her crystal-clear throne. She no longer wore her battle outfit I saw her in earlier. Now, she was wearing a crystal-white dress with a diamond tiara. The whole outfit made you think she could just be a fixture in the room if she had not move just a slight bit.
    “Well, I see you manage to get out of that get through that secret passage without a scar.” Ana said while conjuring up a chair for me to sit in. “Sorry about the smell, but it's the only secret passage we have.”
    Again, I struggled with my need to express my anger and my feelings for Ana. Even though, this was not the real Ana. I still could not get over my crush on and how impressed I was with her display of power in her kingdom. So, all I could say about that journey through that wretched and repulsive sewer was “no problem.”
    The upside was I was offered to have my suit be cleaned and as well a nice scrub-down by O.D. Ana's staff. It was real nice to have some of my long-missed luxuries back. Despite all these little pleasures were nice distractions from my old life, I started to kind of miss the others. I wanted to be with my kind and decent Gatling, my wacky Graer, and my clumsy Ana Maht. And this struck me as odd as I soaked in a bathtub that night, but I missed having Quest calling me runt. My mind kept wandering back to the thought of how the others were doing constantly. So much so, I had to ask O.D. Ana if she would mind using the dimensional looking-glass she had. She allowed me because she saw how sad I was about it.
    As we looked through it, we saw it split into four different scenes that displayed four different possible dimensions. There was one with Spite if he ruled the world. He was standing with the shattered soul sword raised in the air while huge clouds of smoke billowed into the air from the fire ravaged a village in the behind. The other two were much calmer. The one was with buttercups blooming everywhere belonged to Graer who was rolling in them. The other one was Gatling's. In this one, Gatling was standing at podium making a speech while raising two peace signs in the air.
    Then finally,I saw my dimension and pressed on it to enlarge it. It showed the campsite bathed in the early morning sun. The guys were just waking up.
    “Well, that was a great night of sleep!” Gatling said cheerfully.
    “Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I couldn't stop thinking about that bizarre moment with Ana Maht.” commented Graer, “Hey, how are you doing there,Quest?”
    “I hate restless nights.” grunted Quest squinting his eyes and leaving the tent, “ Let's go check on 'the two lovebirds'.”
    “Well, good morning to you as well!” shouted Gatling cupping his hands over his mouth, “ Well come on 'let's go!'”
    When they arrived to the dark meadow where they left, they saw Ana Maht still strapped down to the giant boulder and her eyes glowing like two puddles of purple nuclear waste. The upside was her eyes emanated a nice comforting light.
    “Who is that? Wait, is that me?” asked O.D. Ana abhorring the sight of this whole scene.
    “Hush, I want to hear.” I said quieting O.D. Ana.
    Well, the guys looked all around the spacious meadow and couldn't find a single thing that was wrong.
    Except for one thing that was missing and that was me.
    “hmm, I thought that twinge wasn't from Graer's cooking.” commented Quest.
    Graer stared at Gatling with a smug face and said, “I guess I will take that as an apology.”
    All Gatling did in response to that was shrug his shoulders with a face of ' who knew' written all over it.
    So, they contemplated the reason for my reason for leaving for what seemed to be for an hour.
    “Do you think it was due to our constant jokes about Ana and him being an item?” inquired Gatling in a concerned manner. Quest and Graer just took one look at each other and turned their heads no at Gatling's suggestion.
    “So,where do you two think he might be?” sighed Gatling in defeat,wishing for a break in this tainted conversation.
    For awhile, a still and awkward silence took the place of conversation. Until Graer and Quest felt something wet on the seats of their behind. Quest tapped on Graer's left wing to grab his attention about the weird purplish liquid that was draining out of Ana Maht's body.
    “Yuck, what is that putrid,purple, stuff I'm laying in?!” asked O.D. Ana in utter disgust and shock.
    “Hush, Gatling is about say what is!” I said in a successful attempt to elbow her out of the way to get a better look though the mirror-like portal.
    Gatling morphed his mechanical hand in a clip to place a sample of the purple goo betwixt two glass slide. After he had studied the sample for a few minutes, Graer and Quest started to get a little rowdy and started to play a game of rock, paper, and scissors on who would ask Gatling about their work.
    Of course, Quest won the game.
    “No Fair! Your hand is always in a fist!” Graer protested whining.
    “You got a problem with that?” bellowed Quest.
    “No, nope, no problem with that!” said Graer, shaking his front paws and head in a scared manner.
    So, out of submission, Graer just slinked over to the other side of Gatling and tapped him on the shoulder. This gentle gesture gave Gatling a bit of shock which caused him to drop the glass on the ground.
    “Yes,how may I help you?” asked Gatling in a slightly angered tone.
    “I just wanted to know what is that stuff under the glass slide.” Graer requested in a polite tone, smiling while twiddling his claws.
    “I promise you I will let the both of you know as soon as I can.” Gatling said in a sweeter tone than earlier, “So excuse me, I must away to a more private area where I will not be disturbed.”
    So, Gatling picked up the slide and walked out of through a dark, forested walkway.
    Two hours had passed and not a word had been said by Gatling. Then finally, there he came flying through the forested walkway with his hand flailing, and saying that they must all go seek the Mundra the strange and ask for her help. It turns out that that purple goo was that same stuff that transported me here to this dimension. So, Off they went the closest town called Mysteria. Which is where I must leave off because O.D. Ana and I heard something in the back. Check with you later.
