The past defines us,
Our choices mold us.
Our friends stick by us,
As we watch the world go up in smoke.
~~~~~*****~~~~~
Pain laces my movements, a strained groan escaping my lips. Looking around, I once again find myself locked within a mental barrier, the bars now replaced with walls and the cell door replaced up with a wooden one. The walls are white and purple, the two colors creating a checkered pattern.

Ahhh, so you're back.
Not like I intentionally wanted to come here, but I guess it's nice to see- er, hear you.
Aww, thanks Jess!

I snorted at the use of my first name, the pieces already reassembled around me, my past just a memory constantly flashing to the forefront of my mind.

Ehh, still getting used to the name, especially after the overload ya gave me.
Sorry. SHE weakened me so much that I'm only able to reach you here, and only for short periods of time. It ain't easy, and those memories I gave you were just of one life.
Yeah, I get that. Still a lot, though. Did HE....?
Sadly. HE just arrived within the world, and he's got a friend. Well, more like a friend with a few hundred extremely powerful and crazy friends.
Well, just effing awesome.
Hey, no need to give up hope. I'm bring Mjönir to you soon, so you should be back to full strength.
You're forgetting that I also need IT.
Oh, yeah. Notch, I hate having to bargain with that witch.
From what I've gathered from this world's me, I actually had a friend that was a nice witch. So, I think calling her that is a little off, considering.
Probably, but she's still a hag.
Can't disagree with you there.

I smiled, and the room flashed a faint silver, before turning back to its original coloring. 'Notch, please let her get my stuff and come back safe,' I silently prayed to the master game god.

~~~~~*****~~~~~

The hours tick by, and boredom is now a friend I know dearly. I dare not call any other version of myself to this mental prison, though. Who knows what mischief and madness we could create if I had all of myself in one place?

Ahhh, so you're still here?

I turned my head, looking for the source of the slightly raspy voice, which scarily sounds close to mine.

Duh! 'Course she'd still be here!
Indeed, Sassmau.
Why do you hafta call me that, Jess? Well, I mean, CDJess.
Because of the original Jessica, who is so rudely eavesdropping on our conversation.
Not my fault you all talk so loud. Who's all there, and from what dimension?
Well, there's me, Sassmau, from the Sassy Lawyer. Then there's Jess, from Crafting Dead, then MCD Lord Aphmau, then MyStreet Aph, then Kindergarten Ms. Aph, then FNAF Aph, then MMW Aphmau, then Phoenix Drop High Aphmau, then MRJess, and then Jessica Odinson from SM, but she left.
Oh, I know where she went. I also know who most of you are, much to my creator beyond the screens pleasure. I'm Jessica, from YouTube.
So you're the original?
Yep, pretty much. I already know MCD Lord Aphmau, and Jessica Odinson. I don't want to be overwhelmed right now, so could you ladies split off until I call upon you when I'm in this state?
Sure!

I sighed, having all the information re-dumped on you is quite the hassle....
I wonder how the others are doing, knowing I'm alive but possibly without memory? And that's even considering Sly told them, about me, about the worlds I have seen or created, even who I encountered that made this happen.

I smirked at the thought, and rested on the surprisingly soft floors of my prison, awaiting a mental relief to come over me.....
Aaaaaand that's when someone decided to throw open my wooden door yelling at the top of their lungs.

JESSICA! I'M HOME!
Much to my displeasure. Why'd you have to be so loud anyways?
Cause I didn't know if you were awake or not.
....So you couldn't just let me sleep?!

I threw a random sledgehammer at the person shadowing my doorstep. They ducked, cackling like the prankster they were.

Oh come on. I hit the nail right on the head!
Oh Notch, please do not.
Too late! I just had to hammer in.
Kill me now...

The annoying me sat in the doorway, holding the two items I requested. Mjönir, and IT.
I smirked, she smirked, we all were just smirking until the walls faded and I again awoke to the Idiot Trio frantically running around and waving their arms above their heads as a woman I recognize from Lord Aphmau's memories stood in front of me.

"Z-Zoey...?" I croaked out. The woman suddenly whipped her head in my direction, and the frantic scrambling Idiot Trio stopped before they all face planted, somehow managing to fall on each other like a stack of plates.

Dumbfounded, she and I just looked at them, looked at each other, and said, "I ship it."

And proceeded to burst out into laughter.

Laurance, Garroth, and Dante just laid there for a moment before it sunk in. They leaped up, burning red and stuttering, and ended up on the ground again, except this time, Laurance had his face so close to Garroth's it looked like they were about to kiss, and Dante was under both of them with his head buried into Laurance's neck.

This just made me and Zoey laugh harder, which earned us some pretty foul curses and shouts from the idiots, who were attempting to get out of the awkward and sorta compromising position.

The men then proceeded to chase us through the village, shouting at us ever so often and threatening us within an inch of our lives. It was so hilarious, I ended up falling onto the ground, and they caught up to me.

They surrounded me like I was prey, which made me laugh so hard I was clapping like a retarded seal.

But the second one of them tried to pounce on me, they were almost struck with lightening, which had been summoned from Mjönir, who was stuck mightily into the ground, a pendant that looked like a heart on fire wrapped around its hilt.

The stood there, gazing upon it in awe, until I picked it up, put the pendant on, and walked away. They scrambled to catch up, insisting that they wanted to hold. Internally I smirked, a devious plot on my mind, while externally I 'grudgingly' gave in to their requests.

I set the hammer down lightly, and Garroth was the first to try. He grunted and groaned, prying at it from every angle, until he collapsed in exhaustion. Dante had about the same results. Laurance, however...

He turned Shadow Knight and tried to pick it up, only to be shocked by lightning. And that was before the major storm of cats that hit him. As well as the giant wave that hit him. And I can't forget about the endermen teleporting around him and building an iron enclosure. All in all, he shouldn't have done that.

I, being the totally awesome person I am, picked up Mjönir with ease, flipping it up in the air and twirling it a few time for affect. I suddenly yawned, causing me to drop the hammer on Laurance's foot, and after Garroth and Dante just got him out of the enclosure.

Laurance yelped, Dante laughed, and Garroth asked if I was tired.

"Yeah," I yawned. I could literally feel my eyes sagging with sleep.

"Well, then you should go to sleep."

"What, and miss all the shenanigans you three are gonna get into..." Before I could finish my amazing counter argument, I nearly collapsed into Dante, who gladly picked me up and carefully set down the path to my house.

I snuggled closer to the warmth, not noticing the brotherly-like look he gave me, and drifted off to the sounds of Laurance's shouts and Garroth's laughter.

~~~~~*****~~~~~

And you're back.
I got reeaaaalllyyy tired. At least now we can find out more on the past lives and dimensions.
Well that's true. Who do ya wanna call up?
I'm think CDJess. She seems to have been through a lot, and it might be a good idea to get some experience.
Good choice. I'll call her over. CDJess!
Yes?
Hi, Jessica would like to take on your memories.
You sure? They're pretty horrific.
Positive, I need to know what I've been through. The past defines us, right?
Yes, I guess it does. Well, here we go...

A small flash of green, and then another world and me unfurls like a movie before my eyes. And she's right, it is horrific.

Zombies, or 'walkers,' have taken over. There is no government, there is barely any help. The land is almost in ruin, and bandits and cannibals run around.

There are survivors, nice people like Sky and Nate. But then tragedy strikes. Barney is turned by the mad doctor who started the whole thing, and Sky gets the same treatment. I apparently break off in my grief to avenge Sky, but that's the last thing I see.

Panting, almost hyperventilating, is what awaits me when I'm back in my mental cell. I can feel the two me's concern when they see my state, but I just wave it off.

Dámn, I'm sorry, CDJess.
I've grown used to it. It's just another memory for me. Most of the others have ongoing realities, so they will have to constantly update you until we're able to get you out.
Yeah, I think it's me, CDJess, Sassmau, MMWAph, Kindergsrten Ms. Aphmau, MyStreet Aphmau, and FNaF Aphmau.
Well, then we'll start with those who have already had their resolution, and then work our way from there.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
Yeah. I guess so.

Plan in mind, the room started to fade again. Except there was one difference.

HE was standing by my bedside, a satisfied smirk on his face.

Sly's POV
What to do for the love of Notch. We can't just exit this series and go onto the next, that would be cheating and SHE would take it as a breach in contract.

SHE'd destroy all of us. Especially when her minion could now easily dispose of Aph.

Though, she now has Mjönir. Which tips some odds in her favor, but I don't know if she also has IT. It's a problem worth wondering.

Castor has joined me in trying to reach Aph, but he says in the other world he didn't have much of a significance. And I'm not even in the series, so wouldn't my presence upset the story line? And if I do not go, how bad could the situation get? Too many questions, too few actual answers.

"Sly?" Castor calls out to me, bring me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, it's just a lot of stress. I get lost in my thoughts easily," I said, walking around Aphmau's now extinguished pedestal.

"You seem to do that a lot now, getting lost in your thoughts."

"Would you blame me?"

"Nope. You're worried about Aph, that's plenty of reason to get lost. I mean, she's Aphmau, she does pretty much whatever she wants, but she still protects her family."

"Yeah, but our choices mold us. And she may not remember all her choices, so what if she's now a completely different person?"

"Then we'll just have to be her friends and stick by her. If the world goes up in smoke one day, I want to say I had friends before I go."

"Good point."

"Yeah. Hey, any clues on why she made a contract with HER?"

"No, but I found where she might've encountered her. It seems our Aph did a lot of in-town trading, so she could've come into contact by trading or traveling to get supplies to trade."

"Makes sense. Aph wouldn't leave her village to trade often, so others came to her."

"And that's what I'm worried about."

Heyo! So, this chapter is over 2,000 words, by far my largest chapter. It's got a little humor, maybe a bit of crack. IDK. XD
I left a lot of references in here, see if you can find them all.
Anywho, I hope you all enjoyed, and thanks for over 2k reads!
Byee! ~Convela
