Things make sense. I hope. I really really hope.

Uhm hm. Onto the chapter then!

Chapter 22

Avidya, GenerikB, Anderz, and Vechs stood in front of the nether portal that should lead to spawn. GenerikB frowned, not recognizing the portal. He tried to calculate where it would take them in spawn, but the math didn't seem to be lining up, it seemed like it should do two very different places or even times. He frowned as he looked over at Anderz and Avidya, hoping they'd be ok. He wasn't sure what to do about Vechs. Avidya hadn't said anything on the way here, so he thought maybe Avidya and Vechs had spoken, maybe an agreement had been reached. Vechs was quietly looking over a small journal, figuring out the best plan of attack.

Vechs licked his lips as he looked at the small journal and watch he kept on him at all times. He had to do this at just the right time in order for everything to work. Time distortion and manipulation were difficult. And while he knew it would work since it had worked before, it was always nerve-wracking the wait. Notably since he wanted to work proper this time. He silently started to count down as he inched closer to the portal. At the exact moment he was leaning on the portal, an explosion rocked the nether.

Avidya, Anderz and GenerikB ducked down, shouting in frustration as smoke and dust filled the air. As the haze cleared, they looked up. Vechs was no where to be seen.

“That motherfucking asshole! We gotta go through the portal! Didn't he say something about time distortion and travel and weird shit happening with portals?” Anderz shouted as he charged towards the portal. In his rage, he failed to notice someone stepping out from behind the portal. He crashed into the gentleman, sending the two of them falling to the ground in panicked shouts and yelling.

“Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck are you?” Anderz shouted as he hopped up, holding his sword out in front of him.

“Eeaasy there, Anderz. I'd rather not wind up with a sword through my gut, thank you very much.” Adlington said, pulling himself up using the edge of the nether portal. Anderz gaped at Adlington, unsure what to say.

Anderz blinked as he watched Adlington stand up. “Adlington, what the fuck are you doing here?” He said, hand on his sword. Adlington brushed himself off as he stared at Anderz. “Trying to figure out a way to get out of here? It's not like Vechs was keeping me hostage or anything. We should go through the portal and find him, shouldn't we?” Adlington said, shifting slightly. Anderz was suspicious but before he could say anything else Avidya smiled at Adlington, nodding.

“Yes, let's go. Who knows what could have happened while he's been in the overworld.” The four of them squeezed into the portal. The sound of thrumming filled their ears as everything shivered, depositing them in cold dampness of spawn.

Anderz spun around, searching for the others. He howled in rage when he saw a horde of pigmen in front of him. Light fingers grazed his shoulder. Turning around in rage, Anderz swung his sword in an arc before dropping to his knees as he saw who was behind him, sword clattering to the ground.

“Wh..what the...” Anderz whispered, staring up at Vechs. No. That wasn't Vechs. It might have been at one time. Whatever it was now, it was smirking at him, staring at him. His head was pounding, everything seemed to waver and flicker as he stared at Vechs, no at it. “Whhhaaat...”

Vechs looked down at Anderz, grinning. “Did you know if you time things just right when going through a portal, you can arrive before you left, setting up a predestination paradox? And that if other people want to stop you, they'd have to be very quick and not get into conversations with minions.”

Anderz whimpered, remembering what he had spent so long trying to forget on that first day. What they had all tried and nearly forgotten. What they shouldn't have forgotten. Guude opening the portal. Looking inside, seeing the vast emptiness of space and time. Shrugging slightly, confused. Vechs walking out from a nether portal that wavered nearby. Smirking at them all as he stepped into the void. Lines of words and sounds and colours curling around Vechs, tearing him apart. Peals of laughter ringing out as Vechs...no, the entity smirked at them, scrutinizing them. TheJims and Guude arguing about what should be done. Guude wanting to appeal to Vechs morality. TheJims offering to help Vechs, as long as he got free reign for once. Vechs laughing again, siding with TheJims. Watching TheJims and the Entity smirk at Guude and...

Anderz let out a soft groan as he passed out.

Waking up, he found TheJims staring down at him, in a small cell with no windows or doors. “Where...where's that thing?” Anderz said, groaning. TheJims smirked. “Vechs? The entity? Busy watching Etho I think. You've had your fun, running away. He told me I get to have fun with you since my plan worked. You'll be even more fun then Guude to play with. It'll take so much longer to break you completely I think.” TheJims smirked at him, leaning against the wall.

“So what, is time all in a circle then because of that asshole? Going back in time and stuff?” Anderz asked, confused. TheJims laughed, shaking his head. “Not quite. He's in a circle, but it's all looped properly, sort of. Well, once he got it to loop right. First time we've gone passed the first few thousand loops. First time you three didn't run into Shree because I figured out Etho needed to find him first, and how I managed to get to Jsano before you lot found him.”

“Jsano? What does he have to do with this?” Anderz asked weakly. His head was pounding. “Earlier iterations of the loops, he'd gather the hidden members along with BTC. They'd destroy the city, but not before Vechs started the time loop again. And again. And again. No one remembered it looping, but they did get so much easier to break after the 100th time...by the 500th time, everyone was firmly established in their roles. Only Vechs remembered clearly each cycle. He kept trying to figure it out himself. Then we spoke.” TheJims laughed softly. The sound sent shivers down Anderz spine.

“We planned. I won't go into details, in case we just started a larger loop, but if we did, it hopefully means I get to torture you for awhile before the loop closes again.” TheJims smiled at Anderz. “You just hate being helpless so much, don't you. Vechs said in every single iteration you've tried to murder him. I think this is the first time you dropped your sword when you saw him though. So sad. So much fun.” TheJims grinned, fangs and claws growing. The faint sound of Vechs laughing filled the small room.

I got the jist of it! It's probably because I don't remember what happened in the last chapter.

I really like this series! It's so interesting!
