The City of Jimmens… Feel like you've had a sense of deja vu yet?
Tourists tended to call it the City of Creation. It's been well known for its diverse community and its efficient housing. It was founded by Rysen B. Jimmens in 1967. Our story started on a sunny day, June 13th, 2003!
Tourists could find all sorts of landmarks within this city, such as an arcade; the local park and Jimmens National Library. There's even a forest beside Jimmens for those who desire exploration and nature!
When the bell rang throughout the city, school was out for the day. Students at Jimmens High left the school in a rush, heading to the arcade to celebrate the end of the day. However, no such bell rang on this day, as it was summer.
This city had not been without its fair share of incidents. There was an incident 2 years ago, where a boy caused the city's power grid to go offline for several weeks. The incident caused him to get banned from several locations. They later called it the Power-Grid Incident.
Although Jimmens had efficient housing, one house was unlike the others. It looked normal from the first 2 floors, But looking above. The third floor had the shape of a sphere with the letter B engraved on the front as well as a sign under the sphere that said “Lab”.
Looking to the side of the house, a slide goes out of the house, all the way to a pool beside the home. In the front, there's a futuristic TV where the second floor windows would normally be.
This house was bought by a man named Buster, he lives with a boy named Bmon. Bmon was the boy who caused the Power Grid Incident within this city. This is the story of his daily life!
Bmon slowly woke up as his alarm went off. He tried to get off the bed but fell onto the ground face first, he got up immediately after brushing off his pants.
“F!*#. I should've waited before getting up…“ He tapped the top of the alarm to make it stop. He then went into the bathroom to brush his hair into a puffy shape.
After he was done, Bmon entered the living room on the first floor and sat down on the couch, he grabbed the TV remote on top of a table in front and turned on a boxing anime he had been watching.
When the opening played, Bmon glanced at several pictures on the wall depicting Buster and Bmon at different locations. 10 minutes passed. Buster came down from the third floor, he entered the living room sighing before tripping on the table; he slowly got up afterwards.
"H-Hey Bmon, do you think you could do me a favor...?" He asked, approaching the couch. Bmon stared at Buster while pointing at the television, pausing the episode in annoyance. He sat the TV remote on the table.
"...The last time you asked for a favor I said no, why would I now?"
"Well... This time it's in your best interest! You see I have a few things I need for an experiment that I cannot get unless I go to Japan, normally I would go myself but one of my inventions requires me to observe it for half an hour." He explained while handing Bmon a piece of paper that says “Shopping List” with various items listed.
“And, that gives me a reason why I should?“ Bmon sighed.
“Fine… I'll do your stupid chores-” Suddenly, the living room started to distort around them. In what can only be described as the fabric of reality “Glitching”. It changed the appearance of everything around them. After it stopped, something out of their vision that was still distorted jumped out of an open window.
Bmon glanced around the living room, which now looked a little more modern. “Uh.. Buster, you saw that too didn't you?“ He looked at the calendar and immediately was shocked. The date was now June 13th, 2024.
“No…? What are you talking about Bmon?“ Buster turned his head in confusion. “...Um... I'm just gonna go then.“ Bmon slammed his hand onto the couch causing a portal to open simultaneously; he jumped into it, the portal closing straight after.
The Archive is what can only be described as a pocket dimension within the fabric of reality. There is grass as far as the eye can see. In front, there is a mansion. The inside of the mansion is practically infinite as it expands as more furniture is made however the outside stays the same. Bmon uses the archive to travel anywhere in the world, but he must come out from the same type of furniture he used to get into the archive.
Bmon fell from the dark sky within the archive, landing on the grass. He slowly got up and looked above. “…Since when did it drop me from the sky?“ He disregarded the strange occurrence and walked towards the mansion.
Bmon opened the door and entered the Mansion of Assorted Archives, as he walked into the lounge. The Guardian of the Archive appeared out of thin air, he resembles an axolotl. But VERY big and he hovers. He flew down to Bmon before speaking, "Let me guess.. Buster asked you to do his chores again?" He scoffed.
"Yeah. You know Buster well, Guardian." Bmon laughed. Suddenly, Guardian went face to face with Bmon. The lobby started to shake due to Guardian's sheer annoyance. "Bmon... I'm only going to tell you this once, stop doing Buster's chores! He's a lazy scientist, make him do it himself!" Guardian glared.
"Well, it's your fault you don't let me bring him into the archive." He responded without so much as flinching, the lobby stopped shaking as Guardian sighed. "Fine! Do whatever you want, but leave me out of it." He disappeared into thin air. Bmon sighed wondering why the Guardian hated Buster so much.
"Alright... The easiest route would be Tokyo..." Bmon walked around the mansion. He walked past the archived library, and went into a room called "Essential Japan Locations". Bmon opened one of the many doors in the room and walked through it.
Bmon appeared in a furniture store in Tokyo, Japan. The customers gasped as he came out of a couch on display, he looked around before facepalming.
"...Shit, I forgot I used a couch to enter the archive. Um... Nothing to see here fellow customers, I was just testing how comfortable the inside of this couch was." The customers went back to what they were doing, Bmon accidentally bumped into several chairs while running towards the exit.
He sighed after getting outside. "Alright... Time to do a hell of a lot of shopping." Bmon proceeded to go around Tokyo for a couple hours buying the items on Buster's shopping list. After buying the last item, he left the store and looked at how many bags he was holding.
"Jeez... Buster could've made a smaller list couldn't he-" Without warning, a woman lost in thought accidentally bumped into Bmon. The collision caused them both to fall onto the ground and Bmon dropped all the shopping bags he was holding.
“I-I’m so sorry! A-Are you alright…?” The woman helped Bmon pick up the shopping bags, Bmon thought for a moment “...Is this a scene straight out of a romcom anime?”.
“Yeah… I'm alright…” As Bmon spoke, the woman recognized him and started to burst into tears.
“E-Eh!? D-Did I say something wrong…?”
“Bmon! It really is you, I've waited so long to see you again!” The woman wiped the tears from her eyes as she smiled.
“...Do I know you?” Bmon asked curiously, unaware of her relation to him. “My name is Fukumoto Himari, I am your mother.” Bmon stared at her with a blank expression for a moment before punching himself.
“U-Um… Why did you…?” Himari looked shocked, “D-Don't worry about it, I just punished myself for something I thought a second ago…” Bmon sighed.
“I guess I don't have any memories from before I ended up in Jimmens 5 years ago, so if you really are my mother. I suppose that makes sense…”
“There's a reason for that, but it's better if we go to our home first, alright?”
Bmon looked at the shopping bags he was holding and grinned. “Pfft… Buster won't mind so I suppose I shall go with you.” Himari led Bmon to a fancy looking car, powered by electricity, Bmon’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“...Wait, did electric cars exist a day ago?”
“Yeah…? It's 2024 not the early 2000s, haha…” She laughed at his confusion before getting into the car.
“...Right. Guess my memories are just playing tricks on me then.” Bmon got into the car and they started to drive off VERY quickly, Bmon wondered if Himari was even obeying the speed limit.
At the same time. Somewhere on Earth located inside of an abandoned temple. A pair of doors bearing the symbol of infinity opened revealing a futuristic machine with a boy inside of a test tube.
“Warning. The requirements preset by ♡♤◇♧ have been met for Redacted to be unsealed. Test Tube I will open in 3. 2, 1…” The test tube opened and the boy fell out of it barely managing to catch himself from falling onto the brick floor. He looked around in a haze.
“...What year is this? Oh well-” Suddenly the boy noticed a presence far away from him, gripping his hands tightly. “Right… I have to go find the new user now…” The boy held his hand towards the floor. He instantly reduced the abandoned temple into a million pieces and started to fly towards the presence he sensed.
Bmon and Himari have just arrived at what appears to be a mansion that resembles the mansion of assorted archives, Bmon eyes widened with confusion. “...Isn't this the Archive? What's it doing on Earth?”
Himari laughed, “No… This is the Fukumoto mansion, I don't exactly know what this “Archive” looks like, but it's probably just a coincidence…” Bmon shook his head in agreement. As they walked inside, Bmon noticed that the inside of the mansion was way different from the Archive.
“Huh. This place looks amazi-”
Without warning, a girl ran directly into Bmon faster than he could react. It felt like he just got punched in the gut.
“...What in the hell was that?” He looked down and saw a girl hugging him. “Welcome home, Onii-san!” As the girl spoke, Bmon looked over at Himari and pointed at the girl. “You didn't tell me I had a younger sister…” Bmon sighed and patted her head.
“Oh. I suppose I didn't, you also have an older sister. But first let me introduce your younger sister, her name is Fukumoto Hana.”
“Well… it's nice to meet you Hana, now could you please get off of me?” Hana stopped hugging Bmon and walked over to Himari.
A man comes walking into the lobby, his blonde hair is unmistakably recognizable. Bmon started to walk towards him. “...I'm assuming you are my father?”
“Yep, my name is Dan! Nice to meet you… Again, Bmon.” They shook hands.
“We should have dinner now, Bmon. You can meet the other two members of our family while we wait for the food to be ready.” Himari pointed towards the dining room.
Once they entered the dining room, Bmon was quickly astonished by how fancy it looked. The table shined brightly, and the chairs looked super comfortable. He noticed a girl sitting down at the table grunting.
“Okaa-San… Did we really need to have dinner right now? I was in the middle of getting a high score…” She sighed in annoyance.
“Of course! You always have to eat at the proper time, Tsubame…” Himari pouted.
“I'm assuming that's Bmon over there? Hello, I'm Tsubame. I'm a massive shut-in and our mother tries to get me to go outside way too much…”
“...Now you are just giving me a history lesson on your life?” Bmon looked confused. Finally, an old man walked into the dining room. He sat down while yawning.
“Himari, can we eat quickly so I can go back to bed…? You know I like my nap time.” He noticed Bmon sitting down.
“Oh! Bmon, is that you? I haven't seen you for 5 years. Honestly I thought you died until Himari told me you were alive, my name is Yuto.” He laughed, Bmon nodded before speaking.
“Is that everyone, Okaa-san…?” Bmon questioned.
“Hold on, one person hasn't arrived yet…” She said while looking around the room wondering where they were.
“I thought you said there were only 2 people I was meeting in the dining room?” Bmon turned his head in confusion.
“Well, I wasn't lying… You have met him before.”
After Himari said that, Buster ran into the dining room.
“H-Himari… Do you know how hard it is to get to this mansion in one day, when I don't even have a teleporter set up in the mansion!? I had to walk all the way from Akihabara…” Buster was panting from exhaustion.
“...Buster? Why are you here?” Bmon immediately threw the shopping bags at Buster.
“Oh right… I'm the Fukumoto family's butler.” Buster explained while catching the shopping bags, without even a single item dropping leaving Bmon speechless.
“That… Explains why you cook like a master chef.”
“Hold on, I'll be back in a second.” Buster very quickly ran into the kitchen, coming back with food and beverages. He put them on the dining table.
“Alright, now that everyone is seated. I will now tell you what really happened 5 years ago…” Buster sat down next to Bmon.
“It all started when I found a pocket dimension out of sheer luck, I believe it was June 13th, 2020, ironically exactly 5 years ago from today.”
June 13th, 2020. Fukumoto Mansion, Buster's Lab.
Buster was messing with scientific equipment in his lab at the Fukumoto Mansion when an alarm suddenly went off due to one of the machines. He picked up the report from the machine, his eyes widened with surprise.
“A… Pocket dimension? I could potentially try to open it, but that would require an assistant. Where could I find a…” As Buster spoke to himself, a young Bmon walked into the lab.
“Oh. Bmon, perfect timing! How would you like to be… An assistant for a scientist today?” Buster asked, patting Bmon's shoulder.
“Sure! I don't have anything better to do.” He smiled, Buster planned out the experiment afterwards.
“Alright, Bmon. We need to go find the nearest couch and bring it into that test chamber right there okay?” He pointed at the test chamber.
“Alright!” They went into the entertainment room and dragged the couch to Buster's lab, putting it in the test chamber. They walked out afterwards.
“Now… Go back into the test chamber Bmon, I'll make sure you don't get hurt.” Bmon nodded, going back into the test chamber.
Buster looked at the machine that gave the alert and analyzed the readings.
“Bmon, touch the couch it should do something.”
Bmon touched the couch. A portal started to form growing every second that it was open.
“Oh good… Now if I can stabilize the portal so it stays open-” Buster saw a figure coming out from the other side of the portal out of the corner of his eye.
“B-Bmon, get away from the portal!” However it was too late, the creature quickly grabbed Bmon and went back to the other side.
“Buster! Help-” The portal closed instantly, Buster's mouth dropped to the floor in thought of what Himari would do to him if she found out.
