Fate

9th May

06:00 a.m.

"Selly dear, breakfast is ready."

"Yes, Grandma!"

The teenager girl quickly runs to the living room after wearing her uniform high school. Selly, Is now 15 years old and has long black wavy hair. Today is her first day at her new high school, although she's just wearing a white shirt and black school skirt. "Did you already prepare your books?" Her grandmother asks her granddaughter to make sure she won't forget to borrow her school books. "Yes, grandmother and my uniform jacket are in my bag. Don't worry, everything is complete." Selly replied before sat down on her chair.

"Rawon soup and rice, you're favorite." Grandmother smile warmly at her granddaughter. "Thanks, grandma." Selly praise it first before start eating it. Rawon Soup is a specialty from East Java, made from beef with a special spice called kluwek nut to give it a nutty flavor and a deep, black color. The soup base also mingles with garlic, shallots, ginger, turmeric, and red chili to give it its' spice and dynamic flavor. This dish is great served with white plain rice. "So are you going to school on a school bus?"

"Iya (no), I'll use a motorbike taxi. I heard today is traffic jam before round towards to school's gate." Selly replied again to the grandmother ask before finish her breakfast. She sometimes speaks accent Japanese and Indonesian to her grandmother also people she met. Got this learning from a foreigner lady that she met at the airport when she was a little.

"Be careful on your way to school, okay? Make sure you don't forget to wear your helmet." Grandmother reminder her again after Selly farewell to her. "I will, goodbye grandma!" Selly run off to the door after wearing her black sneakers also carried her slim bag. The driver motorbike-taxi is waiting for her in front of the door house's gate.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

This town is one of the

five administrative villages in the Ciracas sub-district of East East. It was a peaceful and modest place in the era '90s, everything changed after technology advances. This place is connected between Depok and Jakarta area, people here are very friendly. But not all of it, only a few certain people.

Beside it, all the children are very happy on this first day of school. Kindergarten, Primary School, Junior high school, Senior High School and university. Sadly, some new students got traumatic because one of the schools still using 'Student Orientation Time' activities. The government already warning to every school do not make that event for new students, suddenly one of the school still use that activity for making a fake reason to testing children mental in a harsh way to see are they can handle the senior's pride.

Luckily for Selly, her school didn't use that activity. So she can feel comfortable and focus on new school studies. While on the way to her new school with the driver of motorbike-taxi, Selly was thinking of something. She feels she want to go somewhere place, a very strange place that she never knew. She's worried if she can't make new friends at her school. "Milady, we already arrive at your school." The driver motorbike-taxi tells her as he stopping his vehicle in front school gate with other drivers. "Oh yes, thank you very much, sir." Selly smile to the driver after she pays him.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Dear new students, welcome to your first day in our school. I want to say congratulations on passing our test, as the principal of this school, we hope all of you always a success and respect our school rules. Thank you for your attention." The principal speech already ends by using a microphone speaker in each classroom.

All students already inside their classroom.

"Hey, you! Give me your homework!"

"No, I don't want to give you my homework! You should do it yourself and you're not the boss around here."

"Seem she got guts, boss."

Three bullies and selfish students. Chandra, Asiang, and Ritter. Those three try to steal one of the student homework by harsh. "Leave him alone!" Just in time, Selly came inside the class to stop those bullies.

"Shut up, you little sh*tty! This is not your business!" Chandra anger at Selly as he pushes Selly's shoulders in force, but Selly pushes him back very hard until he's a collapse. "You better leave him alone, it's your fault for not doing your homework," Selly said in coldly.

"Listen to you orphan bullsh*t! We ain't listen to weirdo kid like you! We're rich, popular and high rank. We can do whatever we want!" Ritter talks bad at Selly.

"Tch. Ritter, Chandra, let's get back to our class. It's waste our time dealing with this poor orphan weirdo." Asiang told them both before they leave those two alone. Yeah, that's always some kid dislike Selly and say a bad word to her. Even some teachers too of course. Selly helps the student to get up carefully. "Thank you so much for helping me. But...are you alright?" He asks her is worried.

"I'm alright. I'm already used to it deal with people like them. My name is Selly."

"And I'm Joseph. Say, aren't you the same class with me?" Joseph asks her in grins before shaking his hand to her. "Do you want to be friends with me?"

Selly nodded that she accepts his offer. "Sure, buddy. It's a pleasure to meet you too." Now they both become friends as they return to their sits in the classroom.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

The clock is tickling to noon afternoon, bell-ringing so loud as signal all students can go home now. Except for Selly, still reading fairy tale Story about 'Alice in Wonderland'. A story about a young girl named Alice has a great adventure in Wonderland to find the white Rabbit. Suddenly, one of the students came to Selly as she peeks it. "Um...sorry to bother you, but it's already school off. By the way, my name is Regina. You?"

Selly bit startled when Regina appears beside her, "Oh sorry, I just finished reading a storybook. The name is Selly." Selly replied with a smile. "I see, it's nice to meet you too Selly. Let's talk together tomorrow okay? See ya." Regina waves at Selly after see her already pick up her school bag.

"...Papa, I guess I'm grateful to meet new friends. Will I have close friends like them?..." Selly whisper. This is her first feeling to meet two new people. "Hm? What's that?" Her eyes got caught by seeing a mysterious glowing light blue outside from her class window. It seems that a mysterious glow is inside the school's backyard. Selly quickly went out from her classroom to hurry and check it out.

After a long way passing the school's corridor garden, Selly made it area school's backyard. In the middle backyard field, a mysterious book with cover looked like a constellation, golden edge layer plus color cyan on the top end right still glowing with surrounded by element blue pieces crystal. "What a strange book?..." Selly pondering. She worried if that book could explode or curses stuff. On the contrary to her mind think it will be fine if she needs to take a book before something happen. Although it will be dangerous for her safety.

Swallowing her nervous and close her eyes as she carefully takes the mysterious book. Once she holds it, everything is back to normal. "Hm? That was easy---" her speech was cut when the mysterious book makes a huge blue light surround the school's backyard field. It slowly absorbs Selly's mind and heart like scanning it, furthermore Selly's eyes also her bang front hair is starting to turn into color aquamarine (eyes) and cyan (bang front hair).

"What was that?!" Selly was shock and quiver after seeing the mysterious book is taking all her memories like recording it. Most she surprised her bang hair is now the color of cyan. "Okay I take it back what I said, this is not easy." She mutter before take that mysterious book carefully. The cover of the book is very catching her attention, like the background of the galaxy milky way. Although it is still glowing but not too bright this time, sadly she can't open the book. There's no key, no lock, password voice or even password numbers. Selly pondering deep on how to open the book? Maybe if she makes a pattern on its cover, it will open. "I guess there is the only way to open it makes a pattern. What pattern I must choose? Zodiac?" good question, without a doubt, her finger start to touch the cover book galaxy into a line pattern of Cassiopeia Stars.

Finally, the book is now open by showing glowing blue on the right of top rim cover. That book is filled with history about another world called 'Fictional World'. Its where all creators creation lives in another dimension. "Fictional...world? I think I too much-watching movie or something, could it be is real?" sounds ridiculous, is it possible that if it's true there is another dimension? flipping the book page one by one while she reading it the detailed history of that dimension. There is  five page is missing in this book.

Where could it be? the mysterious book is now turned into a blue galaxy leather bracelet. It wrapping itself on Selly's left wrist. "What in the---Uwaaa!!" Selly being a pull to a portal dimension to another world from her school place.

Scenery portal dimension is like a space tunnel, Selly's body floating dash as the blue leather bracelet galaxy keeps pull her more deeper until she made it alight. Many obstacles looked like a recorder video of every creator's past from when they're young until one of them passed away or still alive. For example, Elias Walt Disney, Stan Lee, R.L Stine, J.K. Rowling, and more. After a few minutes, Selly already made it in the Fictional World. The scenery in this world is the same as our place right now but more futuristic. Everything is made by technology, but always protect traditional culture on each type every creator's creation.

As you know, something is very different. In here, Google, Mozilla Fox, and Mini Opera as a school also campus building. Youtube as TV Television base with teamwork Dailymotion, BiliBili, NicoNicoDouga, CNN and VOA. For VOA and CNN is help fiction people can see us by want to know what's going on in our homeworld. DeviantArt and Pixiv as hospital and restaurant/cafe place. While Social Media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram as mall plus supermarket place and last Sega, Capcom, Nintendo, DMM as transportation group. But for Police and Fire station is Tumblr and Reddit.

Wikipedia and Wikia fandom as the biggest building for sharing much information, biography and more. Selly is now standing on top of one building in that homeworld. She still half shock and can't believe it by her own eyes. Beside see all buildings, transportation, housing, and citizen, there two statues of Son Goku from anime 'Dragon Ball' and Mickey Mouse. Seem those statues as symbolic of legendary fiction, like mayor or president. This homeworld makes into three districts; Anime City, Toon Town, and Game Region. Even half of the citizens live in a different place, they always socialize and share.

"Unbelievable...but...why am I here? Why this thing send me here?.." Selly is now confused. Suddenly, a shadow from a clear blue sky passing above Selly before she astonishes notice her shoulders is chilling. "A Jet Falcon?--Wow!" Selly quickly dodges from a strange jet falcon that is dashing through to her as she falls next to rim steel. "Is he or she insane?! It almost kills me--" Selly speech cut again after she surprised. The jet falcon slowly transforms into a giant robot form as it landed far in front of her. None and other is Starscream, Decepticon's second commander and antagonist from 'Transformers'.

"Well, well, well...what have we here?" Starscream walks closer to his target just like his GPS signal told him that the object he searching for is with Selly now. "S-Starscream.," Selly whisper his name as giant robot jet stops with surprise because how Selly knows his name. "So you have ever heard my name? Is it because they already know who must they fear?" Starscream smug. "No, but I know who you are since your name famous as antagonist fiction in my place," Selly answer it very clear.

Her world? So that's why Starscream can see her look different like she is not fiction but a real human. His eyes wide open, he seems familiar with her bracelet. 'Book of Paracosm!? How she gets that book is now into her bracelet?... So this is Megatron's reason to gather other recruiters join his force to take over 'other' homeworld. Heh, how sly Decepticons leader like him, the sort I heard this book is the only thing can see all everyone history, change future-past and have ultimate power that could help the owner already in his/her hand to fight any enemies by using it. I confuse why this book is chosen by this child?' Starscream smirk widely, he thinks to get that book from Selly is for himself than give it to Megatron. Selly already knows him very well with stare suspicious on this big robot. "You know, human. Why don't you give me that book? I promise I won't hurt you and set you free if you do as I said." Starscream comes forward again and Selly moves back but almost slip because she is now already on the rim top building.

"What if I don't give this book to you? I know what you're doing if you get this thing. Even you're loyalty to your 'Boss' then end up by tricking him just for revenge." Selly talk back in intimidate. Starscream is not happy to hear Selly saying such a cold tone. "How brave are you to speak to someone who does not control patients like me? Well then...--TAKE THIS!" Decepticon second commander swift his giant claw hand to Selly as the girl losing her balance. She screams after she falls from the rim of the top building that is high like a mountain.

"RasenShuriken!" A giant core 'Rasengan' shape like 'Shuriken' shoot beside Starscream is a very strong push till that Decepticons bump to one of the building's commercial posters.

"Don't worry pal, I gotcha!" Another appearance sort like alien 'Jet Ray' catching her by carrying her on his back as he flying to somewhere place to keep her safe from Starscream. "Why you little mongrel!" Starscream growls as he shoots to aim attack on mysterious fiction who interrupts his plan. That was Naruto Uzumaki from anime 'Naruto' in Shipudden version and Ben Tennyson from animated 'Ben 10' in Teenager version. Naruto dash to dodge Starscream shoots then use his double clone jutsu to keep it busy so he can catch up Ben and Selly.

"Thank you for safe my life." Selly thank them both after they hiding behind a big poster commercial. "Don't thank us yet, we still need to stop Starscream. To be honest, everything is 50% fiction of antagonists who are not following the laws about not to connect to your homeworld. It is forbidden for us all, most we are not allow is take over the real world." Ben explains it once his Omnitrix runout its power then back to normal himself. "This is bad, Ben's alien form is runout. And I dunno if my Jutsu clone can occupy Starscream in any minutes." Naruto said as he peeping see Starscream already destroy Naruto's clones.

"Enough 'Cat and Mouse'! Bring me that child or you'll be a focus of my wrath!" Starscream gave them a warning before he shoots two rocket blasts to destroy a giant commercial poster where those three hiding into collapse pieces as they fall. Naruto and Ben bump against the big wall very strong because of Starscream's rocket blast.

"Ben! Naruto!"

"It's your choice, child. Give me that book or you'll watch these pathetic heroes suffer till dead?" Starscream gives her threatening in a deep voice. The second commander Deception gave sadistically smile at Ben and Naruto. Without any signals, the giant robot Jet falcon quickly shoots a rocket from his right armor to Naruto and Ben.

"NO!!"

Selly shout and runs toward the boys to protect them from Starscream's attack. She's really reckless but fortunately, it's about time the bracelet of Paracosm glowing so bright. Around Selly body is cover by a blue light that is looked like a giant blue ball that surrounded by snowflake plus milky way fabric or mantle. One by one her part body transforms into an armor cyborg form. Part armor color of light sky blue, white, and black on her each arm, legs like a suit. Her cyborg's eyes color of turquoise.

"What in the name of Allspark?!---"

Starscream's speech was cut when he been attacked by Selly when she throwback the rocket to him in strongly. Naruto and Ben jaws drop, they can't believe their own eyes see Selly is now transformed into a fighter armor cyborg.

"Wh..what happen? D-did I do that?" Selly is questionable about what happened to her now. Starscream is now lost his patience because these guys are a waste of his time to get Book of Paracosm. "No more mister nice guy!" Starscream uses his giant arms claw to slash at Selly but both armor arms summon lightsaber blades to block Starscream attack. It was a very strong push but she tries it to steady by pushing it back. The two of them fighting very extreme between giant robots and small cyborg armored.

"I got your back!" Naruto helping her by summoning his shadow clones again to make another giant 'RasenShurike'. Ben Omnitrix also already active again and he transforms into 'XRL8' Quickstrike kick on Starscream every each of his body robot part. Soon, Naruto shoot his 'RasenShuriken' again as that Decepticon second commander falls. To be honest, Selly didn't know how to fight, she feels like this armored cyborg or Book of Paracosm gave her a knowledge skills on battle.

"That's enough..."

Everyone stops. A four mysterious figure standing next to commercial poster building appear when they watch their fight, especially how Selly can easily learn fight against Starscream even she's not 'fiction' people. "If you keep battle with this human, you're waste your power. Lord Megatron is calling for you." said one of four mysterious figure telling him. "Hmph, farewell then. How grateful you are that I give you chance to live human, next time, we'll have it that book!" Starscream mutter before he transform into Falcon Jet as he lift off from this place.

Selly's cyborg armored crystal chest beeping as signal she'll be back to her real form like a 'blink' glow. As same time Ben back to normal self. Few minutes, those four mysterious figure disappear by walk through black portal. "Now that's suspicious...seems we'll have a big war coming right up." Ben said.

"Em...." Selly walk to Naruto and Ben with worried. "Thanks for saving my life. But...do you know how to return to my world? And why this book that I found at my place suddenly stuck with me?"

"Calm down, buddy. We'll explain it tomorrow. But now we must sent you back to your homeplace. We have a device called 'Projector'. It's only door portal can send you where you are. We'll pick you up tomorrow in afternoon at your school place, if I were right about your timeline." Naruto explain it everything and try calm her down since she looked like still shock after what happen today.

"I wonder why that book can reach her? I thought others said this book thing already disappear few years ago." Ben pondering while mutter it quitely.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

The clock is already strike 3 pm, Selly finally Made it at home by through one of street wall art. Good thing the project send her back to her homeplace, her Grandmother hugs her with worried and ask her what happen to her.

"It's...a long story Grandmother. Sorry for make you worried." Selly said with smile sheepish.

"Alright dear, tell me everything while we eat our dinner. And since when you paint your hair?" Grandmother blinks see something different on her granddaughter.

Today was strange and unforgettable moment Selly felt in her life. Is this her Fate that could change her life? Why the book of Paracosm choose her?....
