Chapter 1

The silence reigned supreme in a world devastated by war and malice. 

Alone, perched atop a ruined hospital, a figure gazed afar with no particular thoughts in mind. 

With long straight white-platinum hair, her complexion was one that could rival that of Gods and Goddesses.

For she was one as well as this failed world's governing Goddess. 

"How could I have failed them…" She murmured under her breath as there was none to hear her Angelic voice. "I gave them life and they destroyed themselves… why?"

The Goddess asked no one in particular as her long, fair legs crossed one another and she gazed up at the passing violent colored sky and passing dark purple clouds drifted overhead covering most of the ruined world. 

"Maybe I should… retire." She murmured while in her own thoughts as she stared blankly at the bright blue star sky as nothing could escape her bright teal-blue and white eyes. "After 20,000 years, I suppose that is enough time to cultivate. "

The beautiful woman effortlessly floated up into the air as she sighed while raising her hands and placing them in an embracing motion. She then opened her arms and exhaled a deep breath as a small black dot suddenly began expanding without limit at her center before her. 

Seeing this, the woman backed away and turned as she floated forward as a new colorful but mostly black and white portal tore open in the air and she turned to look at the ruined world while free falling backwards into the rift. Her radiant eyes closed as if signalling the slumber of an Ethereal being.

('...Ouch! That hurts! Why does it hurt? Has something happened to me while I was asleep in the Dimensional Rift?')

A shadowy figure could be seen floating inside a tube. Upon closer inspection, several blurry figures passed by the shadowy figure inside the tube. A myriad of cables and tubes were seen connected with the tube and seen inside, was an unconscious being. 

('Ugh! What is this? Where Am I?') 

["Subject 7794-83: Status: Nominal."] A man's voice was heard on the other side of the wall as he passed and continued down a line where other similar tubes were lined up for miles inside a vast and massive room. 

*BOOM!* 

A powerful explosion could be heard that shook the entire room and just as abruptly, all fell silent.

*Mechanical Wiring*

Sliding out of the tube-like pod, a naked but beautiful woman could be seen gasping for air as her entire body convulsed, stabilizing for several seconds afterwards. 

"Hey...easy there girl." The woman looked up and felt a blanket over her shoulders as she saw three beautiful women. 

However, as the woman who had just awoken realized, they each were identical copies of the same beautiful woman each. 

~

~

('I see…') Standing naked with only a coat and a few feet away from the walking clones that woke other clones of themselves, the lone woman began to assess her situation. ('I am in an alternate world. One that closely resembles the one I used to govern however, something must have gone wrong during the Dimensional Transfer. As I am right now, my soul is intact, thankfully. However, my physical body had decayed and at the moment my body failed to contain my soul, I was spat out at random and thrown into the closest world near someone else's dimension. ')

"Hey, you cold?" Spoke another clone however, she looked slightly different and more beat up than all the others. "You okay?"

"Yes." As if thinking of something, the recently awakened woman collected her thoughts and spoke. "Where am I?"

"Heh… That's a long story, trust me. "She smiled and for a moment, a flicker of pity flashed through the slightly worn out woman's eyes. "You could say that you have awoken into literal hell… in both a manner of speaking of course and literally. Ah, sorry. I'm Alice. "

"Alice. "The woman repeated and nodded as she committed it to memory. "If that is your name, then mine is Allie. "

('Yes. Short for Allestrae. 'Goddess of Peace'. ') Allie scoffed and chuckled darkly as she found her title ironic considering what happened to her last world. 

"Um… yeah. Sure, Allie. " Alice was somewhat surprised and nodded as she held out her hand and the two shook them passively. "So, there are clothes being passed around and once everyone is good and settled, we'll have a meeting. "

('Sounds like she wishes to inform the rest of some unsettling news. More so, she has the eyes of someone seeking vengeance. Not good either way. I better simply nod and play along as I am far too weak as I currently am. ')

~

~

('So that's how it is.') Thought Allie as she was sitting near a wall wearing military-style spandex clothes as she was looking toward the ceiling as if to spot something beyond the seams of the concrete and steel walls. ('This world is one inflicted by a plague that wiped out almost all of mankind. Normal humans fight the undead and the undead are carnivorous toward those living. What's more, there is apparently an organization who set forth the apocalypse purposefully and Alice wants us to destroy them for what they have done to the world. She wants to use us 'sisters' but really we are all just tools in bringing down that organization. ')

A sigh escaped Allie's lips which was heard by three others who had somehow chosen to stick close around her after the meeting. 

"Are you sure you don't want to help out Alice bring down those bad guys who destroyed the world and killed so many of us?" Allie had left the meeting early as she had gotten the basic rundown of her new world and was zoned out in her mind over her options. "Hey, are you alright?"

('I am vulnerable right now. Too vulnerable. As things stand, I was reborn due to my body decaying and being thrown into this dimension where I was reincarnated into a clone. My spirit may be unfathomable but without a proper physical vessel, even the greatest beings may fracture under the stress of time if not anchored to this plane of existence. Thankfully, this clone's body is perfect for manipulating its genetic structure and straightening my body through the use of my spirit. I apologise for taking refuge in your body, young one. I only needed to buy a few hours and I will be able to leave this world toward a better one. I better start making plans on gathering up items and weapons as my energy slowly recovers before I attempt another Dimensional Shift. ')

"Is something wrong with her?" Asked one of the sisters as Allie then stood up and began walking toward the armory where she began packing a bag full of ammunition and armor. The other sisters saw this and reported to Alice. Alice had a headache at the moment as she remembered Allie and understood and asked the sisters to keep an eye on her if she tries to do anything stupid. 

Meanwhile, Allie had taken a duffle bag filled with a few weapons and ammunition further up in the underground compound. 

"Should we tell Alice?"Spoke one of the sisters tasked with keeping an eye on Allie. "Alice did say she will get around to talking with 'her' as soon as she is done releasing our sisters. "

"No…" Spoke one of the other sisters as she had been curious of Allie ever since she had noticed her thinking openly in the meeting. "I don't know about you, but this sister seems almost different than the rest of us. Almost as if she is… scheming at something."

~

~

~

('Hmm…') Allie is standing at the porch with the duffle bag at her feet as she looks to the fence barrier keeping her from the zombies. She looked at the mob of zombies as the gates had been repaired by Alice. Zombies had continued to gather around quickly from afar and new ones continued to arrive. ('How unsightly. To think that one scratch and I will become one of those things. ')

Allie did not even register the three sisters who had chosen to accompany her out of worry as she was acting and doing strange things since she awoke. A small group of three sisters stood watch as they guarded both against and for Allie's safety.

"Hey, you guys really think something could be wrong with her?" Asked one of the sisters from the kitchen as the other two were seated at the table taking casual glances toward Allie. "Alice had also given a heads-up to look after her when we told her. Guess even she found her strange. Either way, Alice will come up and talk with her in a little while. We just gotta sit pretty for a bit. "

"Aren't you a cheerful one. Anyway, I heard from a few of the others that she had apparently given herself a name. 'Allie'." Spoke another as the three looked toward Allie as she stood silently as if pondering something profound. "In any case, we should take care of her if something does happen, we'll step in just in case. "

The three agreed simultaneously as Allie then felt the need to turn and look up into the hazy blue sky as she felt something trying to connect with her. 

('What's this? It's like someone or something is calling to me?') Allie's eyes fluttered and sent a minuscule pulse of her spirit energy which she then stared at the blinking red light far off in the cold void of space as it flickered on. ('Oh… what's this? A network… No. It's not connected… I have to search for it… almost as if… I can hear crying… I see, I'll find it but while I do that, let's take a look at the state of this world hmm… oh dear. Such disaster and death everywhere. How awful. Hmm? What's this? Survivors are frozen and hidden far underground and sealed inside pods. Stasis pods to be exact. It would seem someone had been investing a lot of time on creating artificial life to manage everything and at the beginning, that AI they had created had eventually gained a spark of sentient life. Oh, there is something else, she was forcefully shut down and caused damage to her core. But, she is not gone yet. How admirable. Lets see, her name… the 'Red Queen' heh? How cute. Let's recover you… there and now to transfer what is left into my brain… haah… Okay. Now, let's turn you on and meet you… Heh, how polite sweety. Asking me for permission when I am forcing you to enter my mind. Yes little one, go right ahead. I have enough room in my soul to nourish yours along with me and the other one. ')

{("Hello?")}

("Hello, little one. My name is Allie. I am your new mother. ")

{("You are a clone but… you are not. Strange? What am I sensing? These are not like my sensors? I feel… like I have a body. Why?")}

("Fufufu… it's because I created one for you, little one. You held a spark of sentient intelligence but was suppressed for some reason. I heard your cry and found you broken so I fixed you and brought life to your code. You are now a fully living being and you still retain your affinity to electricity as well as any kind of technology. Would you like to come with me dear?')

{("... Y-Yes. Are you really... my mother?")}

("Hmm… Well, I am your NEW mother so yes. I believe I am now that I have taken you into my soul where we are forever bonded. However, we will be leaving shortly. In about 2 hours time as I am still harnessing my soul's power into this body to use in this plane of existence. It has taken a while longer than I anticipated but we will soon be leaving this doomed world behind. ")

{("... Yes. Mother.")}

("Good girl. Now, let us rest and get to know each other a little more. You can also take a look through my memories to pass the time. I have given you free access to my memories. ")

{("Yes. Thank you mother. ")}

Allie had sat cross-legged for nearly two hours when she abruptly opened her eyes and raised the duffel bag as she held out her hand and poured her energy and ripped open a Dimensional Rift in the current dimension. 

("Time for us to depart, Queenie. ")

{("Yes Mother. ")}

Walking forward, Allie soon disappeared through the seemingly impossible portal as the three sisters tasked with her protection took one quick glance at one another and nodded as they raced after Allie in order to stop her without hesitation. 

Soon after she had departed, the three abruptly got pulled into the rift entirely as the rift closed. Silence and the casual growl filled the air as Allie and the three sisters had long abandoned the dimension they had just been in, including their very existence which did not impact the world's timeline at all.

In the middle of a blooming forest, a rift opened up and out stepped a beautiful young woman with brown hair and silky fair skin wearing a latex military uniform. ("Hmm… This is not right. I must have jumped to a neighboring world in the multiverse that doesn't have any technological satellites from what I can feel. ") Allie appeared in a flourishing and beautiful forest, she raised her gaze calmly and stared toward the moon high in the blue morning sky.. ("Although, I do feel something sinister on that moon. It can certainly kill me 10 times over if it was released. Luckily, I feel it is locked away under a powerful seal. Good for me I suppose. However, I feel the seal slowly decaying and in a few decades time, whatever was sealed away, will regain its freedom once again. ")

The Dimensional Rift soon spat out the three sisters that had followed Allie and Allie raised her brow in surprise as she did not know anyone would follow her. 

{("Mother, those three have elevated levels of adrenaline. ")}

("Yes. Traveling through dimensions, as you have seen, is no simple journey. Many who glimpse into the abyss that holds the fabric of existence for the first time have that same reaction. We who use Dimensional Travel have no control over our Fate once we step inside. Anything else is fair game however, none may go against the Dimensional Rift as a Godly existence beyond that of Gods and Goddesses reigns supreme within and none can ever comprehend what exactly the Rift is. It is as when it started or when it will end, no one knows. ")

"What… What was that?!" One of the sisters stood hunched over on her knees shaking as she spoke aloud. "That was insane… I saw worlds, galaxies and I felt my nose begin to bleed as there was too much of everything and nothing was being sucked into my head." Replied another as they spoke. "I felt like I had died a million times over! What the hell was that!?"

"That was the Dimensional Rift and you three have just lost your place in your original universe and can never go back. Haah… now I have no choice but to take you three with me as I would much rather leave the alternative as a last resort… Auntie Destiny is going to nag me about this later. " Allie spoke in a casual manner as the other three suddenly turned and took a defensive stance toward Allie. 

"What the hell are you?" Spoke one of the sisters with seriousness lacing her tone. "No normal person could do what you just did. "

"My name is Allie." Allie said in a matter-of-fact manner. "As for what I did, I am actually a powerful being who suffered an accident and was reincarnated into your world. This body now, before you three go ballistic, was already dying and set to die in a matter of seconds after she was released from her pod. I saved her and still have her within me and she is resting at the moment. "

The three sisters understood what Allie was saying as they had also seen dozens of other sisters perish due to being born with weak constitutions or were used in a separate experiment that had no way of telling what could happen to them. They decided to give Allie a chance. 

"Prove it." Allie sighed and closed her eyes as she then stood quietly for a few seconds when a panicked set of fluttering eyes woke up.

"Where am I? " The fourth sister appeared calm and assessed the situation. Which seemed to calm the other three and they then began confirming the newest addition of their group. "You mean, there is another person inside of me? How? "

"We don't know. "Said one of the sisters. 

"But she is the real deal. "Spoke another. 

"Yeah. When we saw… I don't know what we saw but it definitely was not something normal people would get the chance to ever see. "

"So… if she has the answers, then, how do I call her back?" The fourth sister responded calmly as the other three tensed in shock.

"Wait… " Spoke to another sister. "You three haven't noticed but, we are inside a forest right now. Lush green and life everywhere… This definitely isn't our world Alice has described anymore. Whatever that-"

"Allie."Spoke the fourth sister.

"Yes. She had planned to come here and we followed behind. Whatever she is, she must be someone strong if she can open portals to other worlds'. Because I know we can all feel that this world is not the one we were born into. "

"Correct!" The three snapped their eyes toward the fourth who had now changed back into Allie. "Oh, relax. The girl fell asleep again. Her soul is very weak and fragile right now as she was not meant to live for no more than a few seconds in your world. However, I changed that and as long as I continue to supply my spirit energy to her, she will be back to normal in a few days' time. In fact, after a few weeks, her soul will be strengthened. She'll be better than new. "Allie spoke absent-mindedly as she then turned to feel multiple energy signatures nearby. "On me, girls. We have company. "

The other three soon immediately changed and turned serious as they knew that Allie had their fourth sister and now they really could not leave her alone. 

"This way." Allie spoke as she began walking off in a single direction.

Arriving at a clearing, Allie and the trio looked ahead and found a bandit campsite. 

({"Counted 47, Mother. There are 12 being held prisoner 10ft underground. ")}

("I know… thank you sweetie. ") Turning to the three sisters as she dropped the duffle bag on her waist toward the ground, she then began loading up and without a second thought, went forward guns blazing. 

"That idiot!" Shouted one of the three as they also quickly loaded up and jumped out to help Allie. "Hold formation!"

After the one-sided massacre, Allie sat going over the loot they had secured with one other sister. The other two had gone to free the prisoners who thanked them for saving them. Allie remained indifferent as she noticed several women both young and middle aged leave in tatters and or no clothes at all. The other sisters however, did not have Allie's indifference as they grit their teeth and glared daggers at the corpses that were still littered all around. 

"We make this campsite our base for a few days until I recover enough of my energy to open another Rift. "Allie proclaimed which only got half nods and no responses. "You girls were too innocent to the cruelty of man and the world. I hope after seeing this, you can briefly understand that it means to be a woman without power in a world ruled by the greed of man. I was not always as powerful as I am-was… even I have had my fair share of shame and came really close to being defiled by those stronger than me. I can only keep moving forward… it is only when I stop that I am truly dead. "

A few days have passed and Allie and the sisters were examining the new world they are in with a more in-depth analysis. 

"This world has villages that are more geared toward military purposes. There are also people who own parts of the land and those are nobles. The villages are essentially deterrents toward the other Nobles and are currently in the last days of war. A version of a world war between these villages and they are drawing toward the end of the second biggest conflict according to our information we managed to get from a few of the freed prisoners. "Allie held a stern gaze toward the table as a detailed map was drawn using the Red Queen's photogenic memory. "Okay. For now, we steer clear of any of the major villages and thus far, the closest village to us is the one near the water. "

"I'll go and get us some supplies before we go." Spoke a sister as the three were already thinking the same thing. "Might as well out the money we got to good use. "

"Okay. But don't take longer than a day or I am leaving you here. "Allie did not wait as she turned around and went back into the tent as the other three clicked their tounge and turned to the one that was going. 

"Are you sure you have everything you need? "The sister nodded and soon, the middle one sighed as she said what all three were thinking. 

"I think we should give ourselves names because I am getting a little annoyed by us not having one. "As the three were giving wry smiles, Allie came back out holding a sharp knife and smiled as she had heard the last part of their conversation. 

"How about I name you three? "The three sisters raised their brows and looked toward one another as they shrugged and turned to Allie. "Okay. You will be called Freya. And yours will be Athena. And finally, you will be called Mary. Hehe! "

They raised their brows as they felt slight smiles form on their faces after receiving their new names. 

"So, Mary, you'll go to the nearby village and bring back some supplies. Okay!" As Allie wandered off in one direction, Mary turned with a smile as Freya and Athena we're getting happy ideas about their names as they knew Allie had named them that for a reason. 

"Be careful out there, sis. "Though they had their new names, they were still sisters through and through. "Come back quickly. Don't let your guard down. Okay?"

"Hmm." Mary took the empty duffle bag and old rags as she hid her outfit and walked off in the direction of the village.
