GREAT TO MEETCHA I AM GOMMIE AND WELCOME BACK TO "THE FIRST GUESTSSSSSSSSSS!"

Well, friends, this is it. The final chapter. Remember those two special characters coming in? They're coming in here soon, yayyy!

In the previous chapter, we left off with Gommie's death and Red's escape. We saw what happened after Gommie died, but we didn't quite catch what happened to Red and what happened to Cassie.

Read on to find out, my friends!

(Here y'all go and enjoy the show!)

It was 7 AM. With very few breaks, Red had been running through the whole forest, occasionally stumbling but running nonetheless. He continued pushing himself until he got to his friend's place, which was on the other side of town.

Since the sun was up, a light skinned girl with blonde-brown hair in a braid a few inches past her shoulders took her morning walk. Well, admittedly, it was more reading a book and walking at the same time.

NoItsBecky was a complete pro at that.

Her hazel eyes were in deep concentration as she read on, hoping to get to the end of this book because she really wanted to read 'The Petals Of A Bloody Rose' by Evie. Evie was most likely her favorite author of all time, and the short girl with purple glasses looked up to her for inspiration. Her pink t-shirt and faded jeans had splotches of brown here and there from where she was tending to the garden in her home. The pink sneakers on her feet looked more brown than their real color due to the mud getting all over them, but she didn't mind at all.

She was just about to glance up again when her foot slipped and she fell, tumbling down a hillside with her book rolling next to her.

"What the hell? That wasn't there before…" Becky grumbled, glaring up at the hill as she sat up. She felt around the grass for her book, and, upon finding it, she lifted it up.

"'A Portal To Mystery?' This isn't my book." She looked behind her to find dozens upon dozens of books, sprawled about the ground on the right side of the mansion that was behind her.

"Hooooooly crap, that is a lot of books…" someone else spoke. He was kneeling next to Becky, holding her real book. "Uh, you okay?" Becky looked up to find slightly shaggy dark brown hair and concerned brown eyes looking down at her. "I saw you fall and I wanted to make sure you were okay before I had to head off."

"Yeah, I'm fine." Becky nodded, standing up and taking her book from him. She looked back at all the books.

"This mansion looks like it's been abandoned for years." The man said, before looking down at the children's book in her hands, the name of the author below the large title. "Hey, you just picked up my book." Becky looked up at the man with wide eyes. "Although I did actually write it with some colleagues of mine…" he seemed to be pondering at that fact, not noticing the girl's eyes on him.

"You're Eric Stirpe? Aka Stirpicus?" Becky held the book up to him, making him look down at her and laugh a little. Under the large title, 'A Portal To Mystery,' there was the author's name, 'Stirpicus,' plus some more, who Becky presumed were the colleagues that he was talking about.

"I am, actually." Stirpicus chuckles with a nod, taking the book. "I've been wanting to start a library or something, and I can tell you like to read a lot. If these don't really belong to anyone… then maybe we can take them and start a little library in town. Molly and I have been running a bit low on sales with the book."

"Why can't you make a few prequels to show how the Order got to where they are, and maybe a few sequels to show what happens to them after?"

"Hm. That's a great idea. Come on, let's see if anyone's home." Stirpicus began walking to the front door. Becky couldn't help but to have a bad feeling about this…

The older man knocked on the door, and, when no one answered after the fiftieth million knock, Becky seemed to get confused.

"Huh… I know someone lived here though…" She muttered, deep in thought. She hadn't opened the book in her hands, although she very much would have.

"Do you know who?"

"No, just that someone lived here."

"Huh.. maybe they abandoned ship or something." Stirpicus peeked through the small windows on the door. "There's some dust gathering, there's that poor tree wilting… All signs point to abandoned… at least a day or two. But why would they throw out the books, just sprawling them all over the place?"

"Maybe they just wanted someone else to find them?" The shorter girl shrugged. "Hell if I know." Stirpicus blinked at her swear, but let it go anyways.

"Let's get some trunks to gather these books in." Stirpicus hopped down the stairs, before running off in one direction for wood. Becky followed him before splitting ways and going for wood in another direction.

"Why… the fuck… did ONE of them get away? I was so close, too!" Cassie Rose raged as she paced in her underground lair. Winslow only mewed in reply as he tended to his kitties. The smaller calicos could never go to sleep without their mother or father with them, and since Winslow was gone most of the night, they would just nap a lot during the day with their father by their side. Cassie only groaned. She had taken some time to brainstorm, so she didn't quite expect it to go as well as it did. I mean, her friends did pretty much give her the go-ahead with the gifts… literally the costume, modifier, and Pulse was all she needed to execute this plan and her former friends. Winslow mewed again, and Cassie perked up.

"Friends of friends… Winslow, you're a genius! I did overhear Gommie telling Red to get the flint and steel to someone he trusted… Let's find the rest of his friends… and perhaps a new plan would work much better as well…"

Meow.

"Mhm, there's Blue, Green, and Silver. Yeah yeah, colors I know, relax. He's closest to Silver, Green knows the most about him, and I guess Blue is also a potential candidate. If there's any others… we'll find a way to get them in here." The redhead looked up at the calendar she had in the lair. It was a Saturday, meaning that they would be in town for some trading at the markets. "Stay here, Winslow, and rest with your kitties. I'll be back soon."

Red spotted the small, cozy home in the distance. He had decided to go the long way around town, just in case the White Pumpkin was waiting ahead of him somehow. The redheaded man risked a glance behind him- he wanted to be sure that the monster of a man wasn't behind him. When he was sure of it, he slowed his pace a little, before approaching the door of Dan, The Diamond Minecart.

Dan was just leaving the place, locking the door behind him before turning to face a panting Red at the bottom of his steps.

"Red? What are you doing here? You look like you've run a complete marathon!" Dan exclaimed, going to help keep his friend upright. "I better get you some water-"

"No, no water. I don't have time-" Red coughed a bit. "Look, I trust you to protect something. Will you do it?"

"Of course, Red, you're my friend!"

"No, no, I mean, you have to protect it with your life. Someone, they think I have it, and they're after me for it. They're going to kill me, and take it from my inventory. But if I give it off to you, they won't know I have it. So you must take it. Please."

"What about Silver, and Blue, and Green?"

"They're coming with me, where I'm going now." Red took out the glowing flint and steel from his pockets. "I can't tell you the whole story right now, but I will at some time. Please, protect it with your life. I trust you with this, Dan." Dan looked down at the enchanted flint and steel, before making eye contact with Red. He took the objects from his friend's hands.

"Thank you. So, so much. I will repay you for this someday, I swear on it." Red began backing away. "I'll see you soon, Dan. We'll meet again someday. Not in a few days, or a week, or even a year, but we'll meet again." Red sent the blue-haired man a smile, before turning around and disappearing into the woods.

Cassie Rose was alone, walking through the markets. She had gotten here a few minutes ago, and was currently searching for Red's friends before realizing she wasn't quite watching where she was going and stumbled upon someone, completely knocking them over.

"Owww you probably could've watched where you were going-" Cassie looked down to find a pink-haired girl holding her head and grumbling.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to clash into you that hard-" Cassie knelt down to help her up. "Also, that was a little mean."

"Sorry 'bout that.. I get a little grumpy in the mornings." The girl stands with Cassie's help. "And apology accepted. I'm LDShadowLady. But call me Lizzie."

"I'm Cassie Rose- feel free to call me Cassie or Cass."

"It's a pleasure to meet someone new to town… right?"

"Yeah. I'm a little new around here." Cassie sheepishly fixed her beanie, chuckling awkwardly.

"Need more friends?"

"Kinda." Cassie paused, now realizing she had absolutely no friends. "Actually, yeah." I murdered them all. Cassie added in thought.

"Well, come on, then. I'm supposed to be meeting with my friends five minutes ago." Lizzie motioned for Cassie to follow her, before beginning to walk through the large crowd that was forming. Before Cassie could lose her in the growing crowd of people wanting to get first dibs on the things they need, the rosehead stuck behind the new friend she made.

Red threw open the door to the home of himself plus his greatest friends who would no longer be able to open this door again.. The redhead shook that thought from his head. Right now wasn't exactly the time to mourn- he'd do that later (and hoped that they understood)- right now, he had to get what he can.

"Hey, Sparklez!" Dan waved to his friend from afar. "Stampy, Stacy, great to see you guys today!"

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Sparklez sent the green-haired boy a grin. The said green-haired boy still felt a little worried.

"It has been indeed!" Stampy grins at the sight of his best friend and hugs him. Dan's hair turns a little pink at the tips. It soon becomes a light blue when Stampy pulled away, but with the look that Stacy was giving them… whoop, there it went, back to pink, to match the blush on his face.

"Look, I see Lizzie!" Stacy pointed, and her three friends followed the direction of her finger to find Lizzie approaching from afar, waving at them. There was another woman behind her, wearing a beanie, a sweater, a slightly short skirt, and her hair as red as a rose.

"I wonder if Gommie will be able to get here…" Sparklez thought aloud. When he noticed the confused look on Stampy's face, he explained, "I invited Gommie along, and she said she didn't know whether she'd be able to make it or not, so…" Sparklez only shrugged.

"Gommie? Who's that?" The rose-headed woman asked him as she and Lizzie jogged to catch up.

"GirlOfMyOwnWorld. One of Sparklez's greatest friends, heh." Lizzie chuckles, before moving on to introductions. "Guys, this is Cassie Rose. Cass, meet CaptainSparklez, Dan The Diamond Minecart, StampyCat, and StacyPlays."

"Nice to meet you, Cassie!" Stampy grinned, clearly still a little over-excited after not seeing Dan for a while. At this rate, he's going to fall asleep before noon.

"Always a pleasure to meet someone new." Dan crossed his arms, sending her a smile. "Also, Sparklez, I think I know one of her buddies. Red, right?"

"I think, but she wouldn't stop talking about this Blue guy." Sparklez seemed to glare into the distance, towards the pathway that led to most houses nearby town- one of them was Blue's place with Silver and Green.

"Oooh, do I hear some protectiveness?" Cassie teased, wiggling her eyebrows at Sparklez.

"Or is that jealousy?" Lizzie added on to the Rose's previous statement, giving Sparklez a look.

"Sounds more like protectiveness if you ask me-" Stacy butted in, making Stampy laugh.

"Uh, nope! Neither one of those!" Sparklez rebutted immediately after the question was asked, making the rest of the group burst into laughter (and Dan's hair change from a mixture of green and pink to purple.)

Stirpicus and Becky both carried some trunks to small, empty spot near the middle of town. It wasn't totally small, but neither was it totally large. Just right for a library.

"Alright. You okay with getting some wood yourself? I gotta buy the land off the owners in that blacksmith shop across the street." Stirpicus pointed to the shop he mentioned, when Becky nodded.

"Yeah. How much?"

"Enough to make an old-fashioned hut or something of the sort." Stirpicus shrugged, heading across the street to the shop. Becky ran off, spritzing through the crowds still forming before running into someone with brilliant red hair.

"Sorry, sorry!" Becky exclaimed in slight haste, before heading to the woods.

"Well. That hurt a bit." Red grumbled, rubbing his lower back area a little where the girl's jaw had collided with him, taking him to the ground. Damn. She was strong for a little girl.

Red spotted the long, rose red hair in the distance. He grew a small bit confused, yet he let it go, thinking it was only someone else, and moved on to the edge of the woods. He had found Gommie's journal and, although he knew she would most likely kill him for reading through it, he found that, in an entry from weeks ago when she went on her little adventure into the woods, she had lit a portal yet decided to wait before passing through. Red guessed that she was waiting for them to be ready to go portal-hop.

It didn't take the redheaded boy long to get out of town for good. As soon as he got into the forest, he took off in a light run. He had to get as far away as he could, to make as much distance as possible between himself and the White Pumpkin.

Becky came back from the woods, passing by the same guy she had run into earlier. Well, she got that wood fast. Guess she's excited for this library coming up…

The shorter girl made her way through the dwindling crowd as Stirpicus had begun on the base with what wood he had left over from the chests.

"Here's some of the wood."

"Awesome. Let's get building?"

"Hell yeah."

Some time has passed since that night.

NoItsBecky and Stirpicus were joined by Stirpicus's girlfriend, Llyann (aka Molly Maloney). She was the one who made the illustrations in her boyfriend's stories, and she will continue doing that for the stories to come. The three of them all work at the new library (which was slowly gaining popularity due to it being the Eric Stirpe that owns it), although NoItsBecky reads most of the time. She does do her part, nonetheless.

Cassie Rose has been getting closer and closer to the group that she heard most people call the YouTubers. She was also introduced to Red's friends (Blue, Green, and Silver) and eventually, they all began getting closer and closer.

Red, though… Red couldn't find this temple that Gommie had lit a portal at.

It has been three long weeks since that night…

Red shoved some vines to the side, making his way through the small doorway that he made only seconds before, only to come face to face with fifteen million zombies crapcrapcrapcrap-

The redhead barely managed to dodge a rotten hand before coming face to face with another. The ones nearest him moaned loudly, attracting the attention of others. Before he knew it, all of the zombies were after him.

As the current situation was dangerous and dire and there was a 0.0001% chance of him making it out unscathed, Red began to look for another way around them. His eyes caught the large, mossy structure ahead, the place that the zombies were most likely protecting, the place he was supposed to get to.

"This is it?" Red stood for a moment took long, and flashed red when a zombie scratched his face, a large cut forming. In sudden determination, Red took out his sword and cut off the zombie's arms and jaw. "Can't bite me anymore, can ya?" Red held the point of the sword to the head of the zombies, but then realized that none of the zombies were paying any attention to him anymore. "Wow…" Red whispered at this new discovery of his. He had gotten a peek at the "Walking Among The Endermen" story Ariza had gotten Cassie, and the cover had a shorter Enderman amongst the taller ones to the right and left of the shorter one. Red realized that the shorter Enderman was a person in disguise as he saw what he was doing now. "To walk amongst a monster, you have to be the monster." Red added to himself, making a mental note to remember that for later. The redhead shook out of the small moment, and began to move forward, holding the zombie close to himself as he advanced towards the temple. As he pushed forward, Red noticed there were two levels, one of them glowing a bright red from the inside. That's where I'm heading as soon as I get inside… Red thought as he was just halfway there.

The bright red portal glowed brightly, prelit and all. There were redstone blocks as the base, and Red looked into the swirling red muck that would teleport him to wherever this portal led. The redheaded boy turned around to look out the window. He could see the bright lights of another town he had passed through from where he stood, and smiles.

"Cya!" He waved to the world through that one window, before turning tail and running into the portal.

Next time, with TheRealRedGaming…

He would land in another world, the next world in the portal network…

Who's world would that be?

That should be pretty easy, considering I gave an immense spoiler earlier on, haha.

Anyways… join him in his next adventure… in The Next World.

Well, that was the last chapter, haha. I really hope you all enjoyed it!

And this is the part where, sadly, I disappear for a while. Don't worry, I'm not completely leaving! I'll be doing MCSM oneshots for my oneshot book here and there, but I'll mainly be finishing unfinished stories on my Wattpad and such.

Stay tuned for the next book in the TFG series, "The Next World!"
