Chapter 1: Hello!
Chapter Text
Heyo! Welcome to the new updated version of The Fandom Paradox!
The old version was starting to not make sense to me and I had to fix it, also a lot of things updated for Somnium City as well.
This will be the aftermath of Baldis Basics vs Somnium City [Liz the Dreamcatcher], if you wanna see that, here's the link :], https://youtu.be/lwt2jbR4ZoE
I know I haven't finished bbieal vs SC but my hyperfixations don't want to stay consistent :'']
It'll probably take me years to finish all of these XDD
Somnium City is a story about a city full of humans, Animal Hybrids, and Veseners [Creatures of
Dark Matter]. Our main cast is called The Somnium Citys Protections Unit [SCPU] who protect
their city and their people, they come across an old portal that can take them around different
dimensions, after they befriended the Bbieal cast, the portal stopped working [for now].
I will try to draw important scenes once again or draw a new character that might arrive, if the
character doesn't belong to me, I will add the creators name under the picture.
This story may contain mature themes, provanity, gore, and disturbing imagery.
There will be ships in this story, if you don't like them, please don't harass or bully, this story is
all for good fun.
The story might still not be written perfectly but like I said in the old one, I hope you still enjoy it
:]

??? Sits at their desk. They're mumbling to themselves, messing with character information set on holographic panels, writing pasted all over them.

???: No, no, ugh, that story doesn't even make sense! Ah there we go.
They typed out some prompts on the hologram, they looked at the words for a second then let out a sly grin, chuckling.
???: Alright. That's much better. Now, go, cause some chaos for me.
Diastaci.

We're back at the SCPU, everyone was doing their own thing, Baldi was sitting in the living room reading a book probably about math or something. Everything was peaceful at the moment, Baldi felt relieved that he was able to relax for once. He sighed, flipping to the next page of his novel, he takes a sip of his coffee but stops when he hears a loud flashing in the other room, his strong hearing made it louder than it was. He slowly sets the mug down, walking towards the strange sound. He looks in the room, everything would've seemed normal other than the small imp boy standing in the middle of the room. He looked skiddish and confused, like he just...appeared there. Baldis eyebrows furrowed, wondering if that sound he heard might've been a portal of some kind. The little one noticed Baldi and started to freak out, he panicked and ran the other way.
Baldi: Hey! It's okay! I'm not gonna hurt you, I just need to know where you came from!
Baldi sighs and tries to follow the boy without scaring him again. The little boy ran into another room to try and hide, he closes the door behind him, thinking he was safe. He looked up and saw four teenagers sitting on the bed looking at the boy with surprise.

Dulsimer: Well hello there, are you lost?
The little boy was hyperventilating and ran out of the room, the kids all looked at each other and started to follow behind the little fella. While the boy ran, he ran into somebody and fell over, he rubs his head and groans, he looks up to see a concerned rabbit woman looking down at him. She kneels down with concern.
Mamma Rabbit: Are you okay little one?
Mamma Rabbit: Are you okay little one?
The boy didn't run this time, Mamma Rabbit reaches her hand out to help the boy up he takes it and stands up, nodding.
Mamma Rabbit: What's your name?
The imp looked down thinking if he should tell her, she seems nice, so he takes a deep breath looking down, messing with his fingers.

[Bendy belongs to The Meatly]
Bendy: M-my name's Bendy...
Mamma Rabbit nods.
Mamma Rabbit: Where did you come from Bendy?
Bendy looks behind him and looks back at Mamma,
Bendy: A... blue thingy...?
Mamma Rabbit: Blue thing? Like a portal?
Bendy shrugs. Mamma was gonna ask more questions but was greeted with the four kids entering the room,
Liz: Ah there you are little guy-
Bendy quickly jumped and hid behind Mamma. Mamma puts her hand on Bendys head.
Mamma Rabbit: It's okay, they're family.
Bendy looks up at Mamma and then cowers more behind her. Mamma chuckles and looks up at the kids,
Mamma Rabbit: He seems really shy.
Cristina: So who is that?
Mamma Rabbit: He says his name is Bendy, and he came out of a portal to here.
Baldi: I knew it.
They turn to see Baldi enter the room, Bendy fully hides himself behind Mamma.
Mamma Rabbit: Yeah, that's not a good sign though. People shouldn't be entering here with random portals, and he sounds like he didn't plan to be here.
Baldi: That is strange, especially since he didn't come out of the machine because I saw him appear in another room.
Liz: Random portals? Hoo boy.
Dulsimer: Guess we should let the others know...
???: Oh geez finally other people.
[Senpai belongs to NinjaMuffin99]
[Senpai belongs to NinjaMuffin99]
Liz: Did you come out of a portal too?
Senpai: Uhm, yeah I think so? but uh, there's two angry monsters fighting in your library-
Everyone: WHAT?!
They hear a loud roar emerge from the library, they all look at each other with surprise and fear and then they ran inside the library seeing two monsters fighting, one was bigger than the other, his long arms was throwing the smaller monster around. Slamming the smaller monster against the shelves.
Slamming the smaller monster against the shelves
[Monster/Lem belongs to NinjaMuffin99]
[Huggy belongs to MOBGames]
Liz: What the hell? We need to stop them!
Baldi releases the strings on his staff towards Huggy, the strings wrap around Huggys arm which grabs Huggys attention. Huggy angrily looks at the others, especially Baldi. The bigger monster grabs Baldis strings and pulls him up in the air, his razor sharp teeth revealing a aggravated snarl. He growls and grabs Baldi, dropping his staff, he was about to tear Baldis head off but then Lem jumps behind Huggy and grabs him, making Huggy screech and drop Baldi. Baldi drops down and quickly grabs his staff, he was about to try again with the help of the others but then black magic swarms the two and separates them.
???: What the fuck is going on?
???: What the fuck is going on?
Mamma Rabbit: Ah, Rose. Good timing.
Jearen: So, what's going on here? And who are these guys?
Mamma walks up to Rose.
Mamma Rabbit: Well, apparently we're having random portals spawn people from other dimensions to here.
Rose: Oh for Christ sake...
Rose facepalms and sighs, she turns towards the two monsters still paralyzed by her magic.
Rose: So what are we gonna do with these guys?
Liz nudges Dulsimer with their elbow,
Liz: Go Dulsimer, do your magic.
Dulsimer softly elbows Liz back and walks up to the two monsters, he touches the two and the two monsters instantly calmed down, Rose releases the two monsters from her magic and the two kind of stood there confused. The others walked up to them,
Dulsimer: So uh, why were you guys fighting?
Huggy was looking around his surroundings and looks back at Dulsimer, he moves his pointer and middle finger out and connected them to his other hand doing the same thing signing "Sign?" Dulsimer nods, signing "deaf or mute?" Huggy signs "Mute." Dulsimer nods again,
Dulsimer: So where'd you guys come from?
Huggy: "Factory" [""will mean signing]
Lem: All I could remember was an old house, but then I was here, and fuzzy over there instantly attacked me.
Huggy scratched the back of his head,
Huggy: "Sorry, I went into security mode..."
Baldi: Security mode? Jesus, what factory are you from?
Huggy: "Toy factory?"
Huggy didn't feel sure if that place was even a toy factory anymore. Everyone looked surprised to hear that but then Mamma cleared her throat,
Mamma Rabbit: Okay... Let's go to the living room and figure out what's going on...
Everyone nods and follows, while they headed back to the living room, Baldi noticed blood trailing behind Huggy,
Baldi: Hey fuzzy fella, you're bleeding
Huggy stopped and noticed a violent gnash around his shoulder and some blood around his neck, normally blood doesn't bother him but... he felt off about it. They finally entered the living room and Mamma noticed that Huggy was covering his injured shoulder.
Mamma Rabbit: Oh dear, is that where you're bleeding from? Here, Baldi, can you help patch our friend up? I'll give him a healing elixir after we figure this all out.
Mamma uses her magic to make a med kit appear in her hands. Baldi was hesitant but nods and walks over to her to grab the med kit, he looks and still notices Bendy hiding behind Mamma, the little one notices Baldi looking at him, Baldi gives Bendy a warm smile which makes Bendy cower once again. Baldi sighs and walks to Huggy pulling out bandages and ointment,
Mamma Rabbit: Okay, so we need to see why there's these issues with all of these portals, I need you all to look around the mastle and some to look around the city to see if any more people have appeared-
???: Hey there are people here
???: Hey there are people here
[Sans belongs to Toby Fox]
[Tord belongs to Edd Gould]
Mamma Rabbit: Ah welcome! Please, take a seat, I will explain everything when we find all the other new people.
Tord shares a glance with Sans and looks back at Mamma,
Tord: Well, if you say so.
-----
Time passes and Mamma gave the plan of some to look around the city, some in the mastle, and she'll look around the dimensional plane. While everyone separated, Mamma disappears into the dimensional plane or as others call it, "The VOID." She walks around the white plane, looking for anything unusual or corrupted. While she walked, she noticed a black figure in the white setting. Before she could tell who it could be, the black figure quickly flies towards Mamma Rabbit and was about to attack her, but another figure appears in front of Mamma to protect her.

[Filename2/Null belongs to Mystman12]
Filename2 throws a table asset in front of them to block the attack. The table shatters by the force, making them all back away from it. Filename2 turns his head to Mamma,
Filename2: Are you okay Mamma?
Mamma Rabbit: Yes I'm alright...Thank you. We need to let the others know about this-
Filename2 turns his head back and sees that the attacker was gone,
Filename2: We need to go now.
Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Violent Surprises
Chapter Text
Jearen, the kids, and Bendy decided to check around the city, while Marcus and Floppy stayed with the rest to check around the Mastle. The newcomers looked around the Mastle amazed by its size. They also came across the rest of the Baldi gang, letting them know that they'll be having a meeting when they find everyone, we'll, most of the people probably. Who knows how many people will appear. Mamma and File appeared in front of the others, they're expressions anxious.
Marcus: Mamma? Is everything okay?
Mamma Rabbit: I'm afraid not, we found someone in the dimensional plane and they're far from friendly. We need to be careful because who knows where they are now-
Mamma quickly turns and gets shot from a powerful beam, throwing her back and making her hit a wall
Mamma quickly turns and gets shot from a powerful beam, throwing her back and making her hit a wall. Then Marcus and Floppy quickly ran to Mammas aid, they all look towards the source of the beam. A silhouette figure stands, an evil smile on his face and magic escaping his fingers. Marcus growls and runs towards the being, his eyes black and red with his dark magic flowing in his hands, he throws a punch at the figure and the figure grabs his hand, throwing Marcus towards another wall. It doesn't stop him though, Marcus quickly gets back on his feet and lunges towards the figure once again. Baldi notices that the figure was gonna shoot Marcus with the beam so he uses the strings on his staff to grab Marcus and pull him away before the being shoots him. Marcus grounds himself and thanks Baldi, he puts his hands on the ground, using his powers to eminate spikes out from the floor. The spikes shoot towards the shadow figure yet the shadow man was already in front of Marcus, the man stops as he feels a bullet shoot in his back. He turns to see Tord holding a smoking gun, the shadow figure now goes towards Tord in a flash, Lem blocks the figures attack. While this goes on, Baldi hears a familiar voice behind him.
Baldis voice catches in his throat, he can see the room getting darker, familiar purple barbwire appear in the corner of Baldis eyes
Baldis voice catches in his throat, he can see the room getting darker, familiar purple barbwire appear in the corner of Baldis eyes.
???: Did ya miss me teacher man?
Baldi turns around in fear, his hands shaking. No... Not them... The one person he never wished to see again, the person that destroyed his dimension... The person that destroyed his home.. His school... was in his head once again.
Liza.
Baldi fell to his knees, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't move... The conflict around him became muffled, gone. He was now surrounded by fear, maybe he was just hearing things? No. That voice was too authentic to be something coming from his own head. Baldis thoughts was then interrupted, he swore someone was calling his name, but then he felt something soft surrounding him. He blinked, realizing that Huggys arms were wrapped around him as Floppy was calling his name.

Floppy: Baldi?! Hey! You okay? Did that guy hurt you?
Baldi blinked, he looked around and noticed the shadow guy was nowhere to be seen.
Baldi: What...? Where... Where's the shadow guy-? And...
Baldi noticed Mamma Rabbit crouched beside him and Huggy, he pet Huggys fur confused.
Baldi: Mamma are you okay? They look like they got you pretty good...
Mamma Rabbit: I'm fine dear, but before we do anything, we need to call the others before that being finds them.
Baldi nods but contemplates about bringing up Liza, maybe he should wait until the others come back to mention what he heard. Liz would probably know better than himself.. Maybe.. He shifts in Huggys arms and looked at Tord.
Baldi: Uhm... so thanks for helping us...
Tord shrugs and lights another cigar.
Tord: Well, you guys are here to help us right? I ain't lettin no shadow man kill ya before we get this figured out.
Baldi rolled his eyes at Tords response, he tries to stand out of Huggys hold, he turns around and pets Huggys head, making Huggy give out a monster like trill.
Baldi: I'm fine now Huggy, thank you.
Filename2 watches Baldi, his eyes furrowed. He looked at his gloved invisible hands,
They were shaking.
[Transition to Jearen and the kids]
It took a while for Jearen and the kids to look and see if there's any new people around, the city is pretty large so its hard to tell if they found anyone. Most of the time they couldn't tell if they were from a different dimension or from Somnium City itself. Dulsimer had Bendy on his shoulders now, it probably would've been better if they asked Mamma to make like a scanner or something but she left before they could ask. Eh, they probably can try to look another time. Jearen sighs in frustration, he pets Dulsimers head to get his attention.
Jearen: Alright kiddos, I think it's best we head back to the Mastle.
Liz: Aw man.. but we didn't find anything!
Jearen: I know, but I think we should see if the others found anything before it gets too late.
The conversation gets cut short as Jearens phone goes off, he picks it up as he realized it was from Marcus. The kids tried listening to whatever the conversation was about.
Jearen: Hey honey, you guys got anything? Uh huh... What? Oh geez... Okay baby, we'll be there in a little bit.
Dulsimer: Everything alright dad?
Jearen hangs up as he sighs.
Jearen: Marcus said they got attacked by some random entity.. We should get home.
Dulsimers eyebrows furrowed as the others looked at each other in concern, they quickly started to head back to the Mastle.
[Time Pass]
After they got home, the Mastle was full of new people, many were confused, violent, or scared. The first new set already felt as if this strange place was already home, so they decided to stick together. [This includes Tord, Huggy, Sans, and Lem] They stuck with Baldi since he was once a separate dimensional being before his dimension was destroyed. After the new crowd of people/beings started to calm down, Mamma appears to catch everyones attention.
Mamma Rabbit: Hello everyone! I humbly apologize for this sudden confusion, but I want to let you all know that you all are safe in the Mastle of Somnium City. We are also conflicted by the sudden struck of this dimensional conflict, due to the threats we are enduring by a sudden violent entity, we please ask for you all to stay here so you all can be safe and around when we get everything figured out and make sure no body gets hurt.
Mammas announcement got all of the new people chattering and confused, luckily due to the Mastle being magic, new rooms spawned and the Mastle stayed spacious for everyone that came around. Baldi searched around the crowd of people to find the one person he could talk to about the thing he saw earlier.
Liz.
Liz was standing beside Mamma as she spoke and interacted with many of the new people who appeared. Baldi tugged on Lizs sleeve to get their attention. Liz looked at Baldi and saw that he needed to talk to them. Liz nodded and followed him into another room.
Liz: What's up Baldi?
Baldi: Liz I might sound crazy but I know what's going on and who's doing this...
Liz tilts their head and looks at Baldi with a look of concern.
Liz: Who?
Baldi: Liza... They're back..
Lizs eyes go wide.
LIz: What...? N-No it can't be them...
Baldi: I heard their voice... I saw the purple...
Liz: But... if they were the one who did this... then how come I can't feel their prescence..? And Liza isn't a tall shadow figure though...
Baldi frowns hugging himself, he sighs in frustration. Liz pats Baldis shoulder giving him a comforting smile.
Liz: Don't worry teacher man, I promise you probably just heard something similar to them but it might've been a new person messing with you. We'll keep an eye out but I promise it'll be alright.
Liz pats Baldis shoulder before they went back to join Mamma Rabbit in helping the new visitors get familiar and comfortable in their new rooms. Baldi was about to stop Liz but he hesitated and stood in the empty room by himself, that nickname running through his head because of what he heard earlier.
Teacher Man.
Chapter 4: Chapter 3: Unfortunate Memories
Chapter Text
Baldi sits at his desk, his head resting on his hands. He sighs, staring at the wooden furniture under him.
Baldi: If Liz can't feel that they're there... then I must've been hearing things... Sigh... Liz was probably right...
Baldis thoughts got interrupted by hearing a quiet knock, he got up from his desk and opened his door to be greeted by those familiar corrupted eyes. Filename2. Baldi gives File a small smile,
Baldi: Hey File, you alright?
File nods, Baldi backs up to let File walk in his room.
Filename2: We gotta talk. I saw someone and I could tell you saw them too... You saw Liza didn't you?
Baldi felt nervous but relieved that he wasn't the only one who saw Liza, he sighed but nodded.
Baldi: Yeah I did. They spoke to me, but they were only in my head. Nobody else saw them... but except you apparently.
File looked around, he tapped his foot.
Filename2: I saw you talking to Liz, I have a feeling they didn't believe you yeah?
Baldi exhaled, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Baldi: Yeah. They said they couldn't sense Liza around... but that doesn't make sense... Isn't Liza basically Liz? But also like a negative version..? I don't understand...
Filename2: That's basically because Liza has Liz blinded at the moment, but I know one who always knows when they're around... No matter how how much coverage Liza uses, he'll always be able to track them down.
File pats Baldis shoulder.
Filename2: Go talk to Dulsimer, He's in the portal room.
Filename2: Go talk to Dulsimer, He's in the portal room
Baldi takes Files advice and went to find Dulsimer. Low and behold the dog boy was looking at the portal, Bendy standing close behind. Baldi is pretty sure Bendy sees Dulsimer as like an older brother, he smiles at the thought. He gives a knock to the doorframe to alert his presence, the sound getting Dulsimers attention. Bendy was still skiddish but he only walked closer to Dulsimer instead of hiding behind him so I guess that's some improvement.
Dulsimer: Hey Mr. Baldi, I'm just looking for things...
Dulsimer nervously scratches the back of his head, he continued to walk around the portal, his movements anxious. Baldi interrupted Dulsimers nervous pacing by placing his hand on Dulsimers shoulder.
Baldi: Hey kiddo, I gotta talk to you.
Dulsimer gulped nervously, he sighs.
Dulsimer: I'm sorry Mr. Baldi... I'm just... panicky...
Baldi: That's why I wanna talk to you. Filename2 told me that you are more reliable to recognize if Liza is around. Is that true?
Dulsimers face changes to fear, he looks at Baldi with his scared oval eyes.
Dulsimer: Yeah... It is... Because I'm Lizas favorite victim. Their puppet. I'm the only one who remembers their first interaction with us because they took that memory from the others except me. I remember everything. That's why I got even more scared when you mentioned a silhouetted person, because Liza used to work with someone who was a walking shadow. Yet... they betrayed him and removed him from the story. So it's hard to tell if it's him or not but I'm not sure. His name was Diastaci, and he was created to destroy. He became a friend after Lizas betrayal... but Liza didn't want that.. I can still hear his echoing scream.
Dulsimer started to shake, he was fighting tears. Baldi looked at Dulsimer with concern, he pulled the teenage boy in for a hug. Comforting the best he could.
Baldi: You're very brave Dulsimer, I'm sorry you're trapped with those memories
Baldi: You're very brave Dulsimer, I'm sorry you're trapped with those memories. We'll help you get through this... we're gonna stop them.
Dulsimer lets out a defeated sigh. He knows they can't defeat them, but... He doesn't want to worry people more than they already are. He's tired, but he has to keep going, for his family, for his story. He gives Baldi a sad smile,
Dulsimer: Thanks Mr. Baldi, I appreciate it.
Baldi felt worry for the young dog boy. Hearing about Dulsimers past with this Diastaci person makes him wonder if Dulsimer was right. That fight with the shadow man was when he heard Lizas voice... When it comes to that maniacal furball who knows what they have up their sleeve. Are they going to destroy Somnium City [Again apparently]? Are they after Dulsimer? Baldi himself? He isn't going to know until they make or act out their decision. Baldi bites the inside of his cheek as he thought out the probabilities of Lizas plans, he lets go of Dulsimer and pets his head.
Baldi: We're gonna get through this.
Dulsimer nods, he turns to look at the portal.
Dulsimer: I hope so.
Baldi heads back to his room and sighs, flopping on his bed. He closed his eyes, he didn't realize his exhaustion until he woke up in a dream. He was back at his school, everything seemed normal but the only difference was that the SCpu was there. Baldi was going to join the others until he realized he was getting pulled back... By purple barbwire. Lizas laugh echoed in the darkness,
Wake up...
Wake up...
WAKE UP BALDI
Baldi jolted awake, he gasped when he realized his room was surrounded by a purple hue.
The laugh...
The barbwires...
They were all real.
???: Morning sleeping beauty
Liza: Grab him Dia.
Before Baldi could comprehend Lizas words, shadowed hands appear behind him and grabs him in an instant, and suddenly...
His room was empty.
And Baldi was gone.
