Noah opened his eyes and discovered he was in a town he'd never seen before, and he sighed.

It wasn't the first time something like this had happened, and it likely wouldn't be the last.

Flicking his wrist, Noah dug into the fabric of the universe and looked around. Yup - someone with decent transdimensional power had pulled him right out of the universe he'd been in and stuck him in a new one, likely with the objective to beat the evil whoever. Taking a quick check at the planet he was on, he promptly found the giant evil lair, magic defenses, big cannon, etc. He snapped his fingers and it was gone.

Waiting politely for the universe to catch up, he grabbed a small apple and leaned against a building. Taking a bite, he watched a tear open in space, and a four-dimensional cube floated out. "What the heck was that?!" Noah indicated the general direction of where the lair had been and talked through his full mouth. "I got rid of the bad guy for you. Can I go now?"

The cube flashed red, imploding on itself in annoyance. No one seemed to be looking at it directly, probably because it didn't quite exist on the layer of reality that most humans could see in, but it wasn't a problem for Noah.

"No, you can't go! That was it? We were expecting a journey as you got more powerful, a couple cool characters you meet along the way, and an epic fight! Your 'journey' lasted about four seconds!" Noah shrugged. "Well, you're the one that pulled me out of my universe, it's your fault for not checking who you were grabbing." The cube rotated curiously. "What does that mean?"

Noah dropped the apple out of existence. Littering was bad for the environment after all. "My name is Noah Cosmic." The ground rumbled slightly and a few dimensions slid into each other. Oops - it had the potential to be a little disastrous when he said his own name in weaker universes.

The cube turned green and slid away slightly. "Oh. Sorry about this, we didn't know that it was you." He shrugged politely. "No problem, just send me back." The cube shrank somewhat. "About that - we don't really know how to send people away, just how to bring them here." Noah nodded, a little less mollified. "Okay."

He flicked a finger in front of him, and the universe divided neatly. There was more than something on both sides and less than nothing between, which was a little disorienting for someone not used to it. The cube threw up somewhere in the sixth dimension - it was a bit messy.

Carefully examining the nothing, Noah grabbed some of it and inspected it closely. "All right, I know where I am now. Give me a second, Steve's better at this sort of thing than me." The universe slid apart a small amount more, and then its own weight crashed into itself. A tear opened across the whole thing, spanning outside and into the multiverse. Noah waved at the cube. "See you later. I'm in the Xanem multiverse if you ever get around to Megaversal travel, but I doubt you'll live to see that. Bye!"

He stepped into the tear and it closed instantly.

Another cube popped in from somewhere between the eighth and ninth dimension. "So, that was Noah?" The first cube expanded slightly, relaxing. "That definitely was. I think we should probably make sure we've got a normal person next time we suck them into another world." The second cube paused. "Or we could just stop pulling people into our universe and forcing them to fight the big bad guy." They looked at each other and cracked up. "Yeah, right. Who's the next target?"
