POV Narratore
Mash Kyrielight is a young woman who has seen and learned many things over the past four years, some she would like to forget, others she will cherish forever.
One of the most important and easy lessons to learn is that your Senpai/Master is a natural magnet for trouble.
Many people from Chaldea have compared Bruce's talent for getting into trouble with EMIYA's E-Rank luck or Touma Kamijou's bad luck.
Mash cannot contradict these rumors, because they are the pure truth and there is a lot of evidence to support them.
Last proof added to the long list, not even a second after they left Ravnica and returned to Earth, they ended up in front of a super-villain in an animal costume.
Another lesson Mash has learned is to always be ready to protect her Senpai.
After a quick exchange, Mash stood in front of her Senpai in a defensive stance.
As if she were a Magic Girl, Mash's red dress has been magically replaced by skin-tight black and purple armor, enhanced with high-tech gear.
Mash's armor resembles an extremely short minidress that exposes her butt, emphasizes her breasts, and reveals her panties.
In some sections of the armor there are small circles that emit a glow of white light, signs of the improvements brought by Da Vinci and the other geniuses of Chaldea.
Thanks to a little enchantment placed on the gold bracelet and necklace, Mash's two Nox Gems were beautifully placed into her armor.
Mash also wears elbow-length metal gloves, shoulder pads, and thigh-high metal boots, all designed to enhance his physical abilities.
Finally, the girl's eyes are covered by a rectangular black visor, with small bright lines at the corners.
In the hands of Mash appeared a huge shield of black and gray color, a combination of an oval medieval shield and a futuristic cross-shaped shield, in the center there is a vertical line formed by runic inscriptions.
Mash is using the power of the Heroic Spirit Galahad and his customized powered exoskeleton, Ortenaus.
Bruce also changed his look.
Earth-2126 Planeswalker covers his face with his left hand in a dramatic manner, neon purple circuit-like symbols appeared on the hand.
Using a magic trick learned on Earth Land, a mask appeared on Bruce's face.
A Cyberpunk style breathing mask with neon lines on it, covering the lower part of the face.
{Imagine a Code Vein Purifier Masks}
In addition to the mask, Bruce's shawl has changed shape from wool to a Kevlar-like material and gained extra mass to create a hood.
The two heroes managed to change clothes in time, because the super-villain is approaching.
Today's costumed madman is Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich, aka Rhino.
Rhino is extremely tall (228 centimetres) and incredibly muscular.
Much of his body is covered in a gray armor suit designed after a rhino, which includes two metallic horns on his helmet that light blue optic lenses.
"If you can fend off monsters powered by Green Mana, a stupid man in a rhino suit is nothing to you." Bruce said, in a calm voice, having no doubt that Mash can defeat Rhino.
If Mash can repel blows from dragons the size of buildings and centuries-old sorcerers, the criminal in animal costume is a mosquito to her.
"My Knight, defeat this beast." Bruce states, pointing the finger at Rhino, being dramatic.
"I proceed with the neutralization of the enemy, Master." She declares Mash, entering her Shielder mode, that is, focused on the role of Demi-Servant and the battle, putting everything else aside on her part.
Without saying anything else, Shielder, sprints forward towards the rhino-themed supervillain.
"I prefer to be called Saver, after all I have saved the world and the multiverse several times. The nickname Master has caused several misunderstandings." Bruce, aka Saver, mutters, reminding Mash to use his new code name.
"I don't know who you are, baby, but no one can stop Rhino!" Rhino proclaims, with an arrogant voice, confident of his victory.
Rhino has no idea who he's picking a fight with.
'If Mash does not beat him well, I will break his horn and put out his eyes with it.
In fact, when he dies, I will turn him into a zombie and make him work in the diamond mine under the castle on the Boiling Isles.' Saver thinks, glaring at Rhin, imagining a bad punishment for using foul language towards Mash.
Rhino has no idea what can happen to him if he steps on Saver's tail in a metaphorical sense.
Because despite his previous acts of heroism, Saver is a sorcerer with enormous knowledge of the dark arts and possesses a twisted mind with traits of sociopathy.

A man in a rhino costume clashing with a girl in knight armor and a large shield, a sight you can only see in New York (and Paris, but that's a different story).
The Super-Villain and the Super-Heroine have clashed!
SMASH !
The impact between Rhino's strength and speed and the unshakable object that is Mash resulted in the birth of a huge crack in the asphalt of the road.
The rhino horn hit Shielder's fairy (and advanced technology-enhanced) shield with full force.
But Shielder didn't move an inch.
"Is that all you're capable of here?" Shielder said, using taunting, a trick learned from some Servants and Senpai to anger his opponent.
A furious enemy is an enemy who wastes energy and makes mistakes.
"I'll crush you!" Rhino replies, clearly angry.
The Super-Villain threw several wild punches, zero technique, considerable strength, if you haven't trained with Servants like Karna or Heracles.
Shielder blocked all of Rhino's blows with extreme ease, without several moving.
All Rhino earned was some sore knuckles.
The shield of Mash, a masterpiece of Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, can be compared to Pure Adamantium as a basic resistance.
" Die !" Rhino shouts, raising his arms in the air, wanting to land two strikes simultaneously to break through Shielder's defense.
'An opening.' Shielder thinks, seeing the perfect opportunity to strike.
The Maiden Knight moved lightning fast, switching from defense to attack.
A single shield strike to the center of Rhino's chest.
As a result, Rhino was thrown, causing him to take a short flight and crush the car of an unfortunate man.
'I need to pay more attention to my surroundings.' Shielder thinks, keeping his gaze on Rhino and the destroyed car.
The knight girl often has a lot of time in places where cars don't exist or property damage isn't much of a problem, but on Earth things are different.
"Who are you damned woman!?" Rhino shouts, standing up with some difficulty, holding a hand on his chest where he was hit by Shielder.
If Rhino were less stupid and less angry, he would have remained lying on the ground.
"I Am Shielder, The Knight of Grail!" The girl knight replies, holding her shield high and proud.
Shielder is fond of this title which she obtained after a few solo adventures.
"I'm Rhino and I won't let a newbie beat me up in town!" Rhino exclaims, charging forward, having no plan, and throwing punches and shouting threats like a small child.
' From what Senpai told me, Rhino is one of Spider-Man's enemies, but wasn't he a normal person in a large rhino-themed Power Armor?
This Rhino is a giant in a Rhino suit, no technological armor, just a durable suit for superhuman physiology.
Does that mean Rhino got an upgrade when we were away or is he a new Rhino?' Shielder thinks about possible explanations as he prepares to make his counter move.
Shielder, imitating the movements of a bullfighter or matador, moved out of the way just before Rhino ran over her.
Not just dodging, Mash turns and slams his shield into Rhino's back, causing him to fall hard to his knees.
"You will pay dearly for this!" He yells Rhino, acting less like a rhino and more like an angry bull.
Rhino quickly gets up, wastes no time throwing punches, as if he were a rabid animal.
Shielder being smaller, faster, and frankly better in every attribute than her opponent, Mash dodged the punch with ease.
" Rhino, do you know the definition of madness?" Shielder question.
" Who cares !?" Rhino shouts, losing his temper, wanting to silence the knight girl.
"Madness is doing the same thing over and over, over and over again, hoping that something will change." Shielder responds, before counterattacking.
Moving with incredible speed despite carrying a massive shield, Shielder moved to Rhino's side and uses her shield like a club.
SMASH !
Shielder struck Rhino, aiming for the knee joint to cause the most pain and damage.
Shielder's Senpai can be a bad influence on her.
"Haaa." Rhino grunts in pain from Shielder's blow.
The damage to the knee affected Rhino's posture and balance, causing him to crouch forward.
" I kill you !" Rhino shouts, launching a powerful and wild attack at his opponent.
CLANG !
The Maiden Knight holding her shield with a single hand blocked Rhino's strike with ease.
"It's my turn !" Shielder said, shooting a punch under Rhino's jaw.
SMASH !
The Russian supervillain was thrown about ten meters into the air, as if he were a baseball.
"I'm not done yet!" Shielder declares, before leaping into the air and reaching Rhino.
Reaching his opponent, Shielder performs a spin kick into Rhino's face.
SMASH !
In an instant, the rhino-themed Super-Villain fell into the middle of the road, resulting in a small crater.
Shielder landed gracefully on her feet, fresh as a redhead and maintaining her immaculate appearance.
Being the Kohai of a Planeswalker who attracts trouble, seeks worthy adversaries and ancient knowledge, can lead to only two consequences:
One, Kohai understands that Senpai is a dangerous person who will probably be the cause of her death and should leave and never return.
Two, Kohai grows up to be just as crazy, wacky, and strong as her Senpai, so nothing and no one can defeat her. Unfortunately, she will end up developing some strange habits.
It's pretty obvious what path this girl ended up on to become a Woman Knight who could stand up to or defeat First Class Servants.
"Saver, the threat has been neutralized." He states Shielder, with a proud and calm, turning towards his Master/Senpai.
Bruce watched Mash's entire show from start to finish, without interfering, knowing that his support was not needed.
Walking towards Mash, Bruce with a wave of his hand threw the Daedalus Cube upwards.
Instead of falling, the Black Cube began to float just above Bruce's head, as if it were some kind of three-dimensional halo.
Now that Bruce has his hands free, he gives a little cheer, thanking Mash for his performance.
"Seeing you beat up an enemy with such ease makes my heart beat faster than it should." Bruce said, stopping at Mash's side.
"When you fight, you are a beautiful woman, how you performed that Punch and that Kick, a scene that needs to be reproduced on a canvas." Bruce said, finding it very nice to see Mash as he fights and wins a fight.
"Senpai, I'm not that good of a female warrior, I'm not Scáthach or Altera." Mash replies, in a humble tone, not believing herself to be that good.
"You are too modest a girl, take example from me, I don't try to hide that I am one of the five most intelligent men in the world and the most powerful Sorcerer of his generation." Bruce said, trying in his own way to help the Demi-Servant girl establish herself as one of the elite.
"Senpai, there's a subtle difference between being arrogant and confident." Mash said, sensing that his Senpai is acting like a certain golden king.
"You're wrong, there is a huge difference between arrogance and confidence, it would be like saying that Jason and Gilgamesh (Caster) are the same thing." Bruce said, having a completely different opinion than Mash.
"Arrogant people are fools who delude themselves into thinking they are more than just that, relying on false power such as wealth or the power of others to continue their claims of superiority." Bruce explains his idea of arrogance.
"Gilgamesh (Caster) is not arrogant, he is a confident, wise, powerful king, proud of his abilities and achievements, just like me." Bruce explains his concept of self-confidence.
"You have your opinion and I have my opinion." Mash said, not wanting to argue with Bruce over a small matter.
Bruce nods, then walks to the edge of the crater and looks at Rhino's unconscious figure.
"This is not the Aleksei Sytsevich I know." Bruce said, seeing a lot of differences between this Rhino and the Rhino he last met in New York City.
"It could be a new Super-Villain who takes the name of Rhino or has received an upgrade, unfortunately not only the heroes become stronger and more capable." Mash expresses his thoughts on the situation.
Shielder stands to her Senpai's right, ready to use her shield if necessary.
"There's a way to find out." Bruce said, pointing his hand at the Russian supervillain.
A small blue magic circle with a complex shape appeared in front of Bruce's palm.
A blue aura covered Rhino's body, while the magic circle began to move clockwise, a sign that it is doing its job.
" Senpai, what does your Analysis Magic tell you?" Mash asks, curious about her Senpai's findings.
"This man gained his super-powers through treatments involving gamma radiation, there is more information, but nothing really important or related to the supernatural." Bruce said, with a bored tone, showing no interest in the information he obtained.
"If the body doesn't tell you anything, could you access its mind?" Mash suggests, knowing that his Senpai learned many tricks from Jace Beleren on how to use Blue Mana.
Bruce turns to Mash, showing a disapproving look.
" Mash, I'm a man with zero respect for the law and other people's rules, I only follow my own personal code." Bruce declares, living his life by his rules and his conventional principles.
"Getting into the mind of an individual and sifting through information, without a very good reason or a life or death situation, goes against my code." Bruce said, not wanting to get into Rhino's head because it goes against his principles of freedom and free will.
'You don't know how many people are relieved that you have solid principles and a code of honor.' Mash thinks, looking around, noticing that passers-by have begun to approach, take photographs and make phone calls.
" Senpai, we are being watched, we should get out of here." Mash said, not wanting to end up on the front page of a newspaper or on the local news.
In the rest of the Multiverse Mash and Bruce have no problem showing their faces or their magical abilities, save for some places with an anti-human or anti-magic policy, but on Earth things are different.
"I have to immobilize Rhino first." Bruce said, not being able to risk Rhino waking up and going off to make trouble another day.
Keeping his gaze on the Russian supervillain, Bruce slams his foot on the edge of the small crater.
Without uttering a spell or making a further gesture, ice appeared on the ground.
As if it were a living thing, the ice moved forward, expanding into the crater, eventually covering and enclosing Rhino in a cocoon of ice.
"I wonder if the cops will like rhino ice cream." Mash said, making a little joke.
"Now, it's the wannabe paparazzi's turn." Bruce mutters, raising his hand high and snapping his fingers, the Daedalus Cube glowing blue.
A small wave of energy hit the area around the Black Cube for a radius of hundreds of meters, all electronic equipment shut down instantly.
All phones and security cameras lost every data they had.
" Senpai, there was no need to ruin everyone's equipment, our clothes have spells and gadgets to make us unrecognizable." Mash said, confident that her visor has the means to create an efficient perception filter on machines and people.
"I don't like paparazzi. Plus, it's more efficient, the information they can get is kept to a minimum." Bruce responds, believing that ruining the surrounding equipment is to his advantage.
"You can't go three days without breaking something or getting into a fight." Mash said, placing a hand on his forehead.
Mash, she is slightly exasperated by her Senpai's addiction to adrenaline and conflict.
"My record for being good and quiet alone is a week. If I have good company and the right materials to keep me busy, I can go almost two weeks without indulging in my vices." Bruce said, correcting Mash's words.
" Senpai, we both know that being good and calm means locking yourself inside your laboratory.
Where you will be a perfect Sorcerer/Mad Scientist who will end up creating a nightmare or a magical/technical marvel, which will one way or another lead to turning the house upside down." Mash said, speaking as if she were Bruce's wife.
"You're exaggerating, seven times out of ten my experiments don't do anything dangerous." Bruce said, trying to protect his job.
"One time it happened that the whole house was literally turned upside down." Mash said, remembering very well how the creation of a Magical Artifact to manipulate gravity turned her anniversary upside down.
"On that occasion, we had a nice dinner on the kitchen ceiling, not to mention the unique experience we had together during weightlessness." Bruce said, recounting the good parts of that day.
A heavy blush appeared on Mash's cheeks at the mention of the weightless experience.
"I admit that your experiments going out of control may have some nice results, but many nice ones. But each of them forces us to do some heavy cleaning." Mash said, trying not to just think about the good part of her Senpai's follies.
"You know what it's like to live with me, Mash. The city is a chaotic battlefield, and the house is an oasis of peace. Or it's the other way around, the city is at peace, and the house is a powder keg ready to explode." Bruce said, not trying to hide the fact that his life is chaotic and there is always trouble inside or outside the house.
"You're right, Senpai, if I keep you inside the house our life becomes Dexter's Laboratory, if I leave you outside our life becomes The Adventures of Scooby-Doo, with the annual Dungeons & Dragons style epic mission." Mash said, with an amused smile, giving a very simple summary of his current life.
"You're not entirely wrong with the Dungeons & Dragons stuff, we recently defeated an Elder Dragons who wanted to steal the Planeswalkers' Sparks to become All-Powerful." Bruce said, realizing that his life has become more like a fantasy novel or fantasy role-playing game lately.
"But I'm tired of playing Dungeons & Dragons. Velma, let's go away and solve more traditional mysteries, maybe find a shady guy in a costume who respects the classic formula." Mash said, making Scooby-Doo references, wanting some quiet time and just plain fun.
Mash, she's not to blame, the first thing she did when she got back to Earth was beat up some idiot in a rhino suit.
"Daphne, how do you want us to get out of here? Do I call the Mystery Machine or do we walk to the nearest haunted house?" Bruce questions, with a playful tone, deciding for once to play along with Mash.
"They are good options, but this time I would like to use Teleportation, it is the fastest and most discreet method we have." Mesh said, with a small blush, not mentioning another feature of the teleporter Bruce used.
"As you wish, Mash. As you know, hold on tight and close your eyes." Bruce said, repeating the safety precautions, before making his move.
Bruce steps in front of Mash, then takes her in a tight hug, one hand around her waist, the other arm around her back and the hand behind her head.
Mash also put her arms around her Senpai and pressed her head against his chest.
'Is it wrong that I prefer this method of transportation?' Mash thinks, having mixed feelings about this act.
A more sentimental side of Mash is taking pleasure in being so close to her Senpai, feeling the unique rhythm of her heart and her scent of herbs and flowers that try to hide the smell of gunpowder and precious stones.
A more logical side of Knight Girl is saying that she needs to keep a cool head and think about this stuff later and in a more private place.
Unaware of Mash's conflicting thoughts, Bruce continued his magic trick.
For a single moment, Bruce's entire body was covered in purple Circuit-like symbols.
Soon after, the Master-Servant pair disappeared into a dark haze, leaving a puddle of ink behind.
XXX
About 500 meters from where Rhino was frozen atop a modest apartment building, a dark haze appeared.
The dark mist disappeared the same way it appeared, but left in its place a Master-Servant pair, who are surrounded by splashes of ink.
Mash, having her eyes closed and her head occupied by various thoughts, does not realize that she has arrived at her destination.
Bruce wasted no time in releasing his grip around Mash, having held her in his arms for safety measures and not out of affection.
"Mash, we're here, you can let go, if you want some cuddles, you'll have to wait for nightfall or sunrise." Bruce said in his usual monotone voice.
" We have arrived ?" Mash asks, opening his eyes with a surprised expression.
"Why are you so astonished? Teleportation is a simple trick and we've done it hundreds of times to get out of trouble." Bruce said, crossing his arms, looking slightly offended.
"Senpai, I'm stupid that your teleportation worked so well! You've improved your technique!" Mash said, with a voice full of joy, wanting to praise her Senpai and not criticize him.
Mash lifts his visor, placing it over his head as if it were some kind of forehead bandana, then inspects his body and clothing for irregularities.
" This must be a new record, seven times in a row of teleportation without incidents such as inky clothes, lack of clothes, partially melted clothes, unexpected changes in position, being in mid-air, blurred vision or nausea." Mash listed the possible accidents that can happen with the teleporter used by Bruce.
"Eventually, I figured out how to teleport myself and a passenger without incident.
I just need to activate the Magic Circuits before tapping into The Ink, the dimension I use as a shortcut between point A and point B.
It slows down the speed of transport, but increases the distance and safety of teleportation." Bruce explained how he achieved his new record.
'This means my life will have fewer emergency showers and my expenses for replacement clothes will be decreased.' Mash thinks, looking at the positive side of her Senpai's improved teleportation.
Now that the two are in a relatively safe place and there are no distractions, Bruce's mind is free enough to feel a discord in the back of his mind.
' I hope what I'm feeling is the equivalent of a Planeswalker's motion sickness.' Bruce thinks, wanting his extra sense regarding space-time to be in error.
Quickly, Bruce moves to the edge of the building and looks out at the view of New York City.
The Magic Circuits kick in again, displaying fluorescent purple circuit-like symbols around his head, especially in his right eye.
Bruce's eye is magically enhanced to be able to see things at a distance, as if he had a telescope.
Bruce was able to notice several discrepancies, especially in the architecture and location of certain historic buildings.
The Earth-2126 Planeswalker deactivates the Magical Enhancement on his eyes, then proceeds to take a deep inhale, savoring the quality and quantity of aether present in the air.
" Senpai, are you feeling okay?" Mash asks, sensing that something is happening to her Senpai.
"Mash did I tell you about my past cases?" Bruce suddenly asks, keeping his gaze on a certain rather important skyscraper.
"Yes, Senpai, you have told me a great number of your cases over and over again." Mash replies, having heard all kinds of stories from her Senpai.
Bruce and Mash have traveled a lot over the last four years, very often having to drive a vehicle for many hours or even days.
To kill time, they talked about almost every subject imaginable, one of Bruce's favorite subjects of discussion being his pre-Chaldea cases.
Mash has heard stories of murder cases, superhero adventures, jobs for the Clock Tower or the Holy Church, finally, stories so strange and fantastic that they are considered pure fiction by many, including Mash.
" I told you in detail about the cases:
Shattered Dimensions; Edge of Time; Spider-Verse; Venomverse; The Guardians of the Kaleidoscope?" asks Bruce, listing some of his most outlandish and bizarre adventures.
" Yes, Senpai, you told me those stories, although I'm not entirely sure how many of them are true." Mash said, with an uncertain expression.
Mash is aware that Bruce, like any storyteller, tends to embellish or modify or remove some things from his stories.
This makes it harder to believe some of Bruce's crazy stories, some of which make the adventures with Chaldea and the Gatewatch seem tame.
"What do these cases have in common?" Bruce questions, trying to get Mash to connect the dots.
"The common factor in your stories would be that they involved Spider-Man in one way or another." Mash grants the most obvious answer of all.
" Something else?" Bruce asks, wanting to hear another answer, something that doesn't involve a person.
"There was always one or more Symbiotes." Mash said, making another attempt to answer correctly.
"This is also true, but I was referring to another common factor. Here's a clue, think about the setting of each of my stories." Bruce said, handing a little tip to Mash.
"All cases involve you crossing time and space and ending up in parallel worlds." Mash replies, raising an eyebrow, starting to connect the dots.
"Third time's luck." Bruce said, confirming that Mash responded well this time.
" Senpai, what happened this time?" Mash asks, already ready to tackle the new problem the two of them have come across.
After all, Mash's first lesson: His Senpai/Master is a natural magnet for trouble.
Bruce approached Mash, takes off his mask and lowers his hood, exposing his Saberface face.
" You were right and I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to use my Planeswalker Spark while I wasn't at 100%. Sorry, Mash." Bruce said, before placing an apologetic kiss on Mash's cheek.
The Maiden Knight touches her cheek which has just been kissed.
A small part of Mash wants to thank those who taught Bruce the strange concept of an apologetic kiss.
A bigger part of Mash is thinking, 'Why does something bad have to happen every time I'm right?'
" Apology accepted, Senpai. But could you give me the details of what happened?" Mash asks, wanting specific context.
"We managed to get back to the right world, which is Earth, and the right city, New York City. I would have preferred Boston, but New York City works for a date and a few days of fun." Bruce said, wanting to keep his promise of a little vacation to New York with and for Mash.
"But we are in the wrong dimension, instead of Earth-2126, June 2024, we are on a Parallel Earth in May 20, 2012.
If I had the night sky and could look at the stars my internal compass could tell me exactly which Earth we were on." Bruce said, having a limited amount of information at the moment.
" Senpai, a girl can't be bored with you around.
You took me around the world; you took me back and forward in time with and without Chaldea; you made me reach space and cyber-space; you made me travel alongside you through the Multiverse.
Today, thanks to you, I ended up in another dimension on a Parallel Earth." Mash said, accepting what happened with ease. This says a lot about what Mash's life is like.
"I'm really curious to see where you'll take me next time." Mash said, half serious and half joking.
"Microverse?" Bruce proposes, believing that Mash has made a request for an exotic travel destination.
"Does the Microverse exist?!" Mash exclaims, surprised that there is still something else to explore.
"According to Reed Richards and Henry Pym, yes, we exist, but right now, we're not interested in becoming smaller than an ant or causing a zombie apocalypse." Bruce said, knowing things he didn't want to know.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that last part." Mash said, not wanting to hear how the Microverse is connected to a zombie apocalypse.
"Wise choice." Bruce said, happy he didn't have to tell that story.
" Senpai, out of curiosity, how did we end up in a Parallel Earth without the help of Zelretch or a huge, dangerously unstable machine or a Magical Artifact too powerful to use?" Mash asks, sure that traveling through dimensions safely and without problems is something that belongs to the Second True Magic.
Bruce places a hand on his chin, searching for an answer as to how they got here.
"A Planeswalker can travel across the Multiverse.
We were not born with the ability to travel across dimensions and reach a Parallel Earth." Bruce mutters, believing that his Planeswalker Spark must be related to the matter.
"Senpai, being with you I learned three things:
One, nothing is impossible.
Two, you are a special little snowflake.
Three, you will always find your way home." Mash said, not caring that she ended up on a Parallel Earth.
"Perhaps my previous experiences with the Parallel Earths and other exotic places may have left their mark on me in ways I could not imagine.
Adding a supercharged Planeswalker Spark and using the Daedalus Cube that was enhanced to deal damage to that Elder Dragon, it could have changed the dimensional frequency of my Journey through the Planes." Bruce said, making a guess on the spot.
"The how isn't too important now, what should we do Senpai?" Mash asks, having no experience with the Parallel Earths, well, there would be the Lostbelts, but those are a different matter.
"Let's go get some shawarma, I'll figure something out along the way." Bruce said, wanting to eat something that can only be found on Earth.
Bruce approached the edge of the building, finding the fire escape, a less inconspicuous way to get down from the building.
Mash stood still staring at her Senpai walking away.
'Doubt I'll ever fully understand how Senpai's mind works.' Mash thinks, chasing the eccentric Planeswalker.
