**Chaos in Macau** is a side story written by The MariposaLass'93. It is the third overall story in ***The B-Team Chronicles*** after *The Day the Multiverse Got Really Screwed Up* and *The Learning Curve*.

## Synopsis

*After quitting a role for a movie based on Playmobil as a result of having PTSD from reading a script for it and it reminding him of the Multiverse Crisis, Daniel accidentally falls into a Vortex to the Now You See Me World where he meets the Horsemen and his unlikeable identical-looking character from the film series. It's one thing to have a panic attack from reading a script reminding him of the event that changed his life forever, but it is another thing that most of the people in this world seems to have one too many bones to pick on him and hates his guts for being Walter Mabry's lookalike, especially with him bonking him on the head in self defense.*

*Now trapped in a world that seems to hate his guts and needing to pull off a masquerade as Walter, Daniel needs to earn the Horsemen's trust and get help from some of his teammates if he wants to go home or he might face the wrath of the Eye for all the wrong reasons.*

## Summary

### Daniel's Not So Great, Terrible No Good Day

Following the events of a B-Team quick mission in Manila (and running into JC Santos by accident), leader and actor Daniel Radcliffe was not expecting to hate a script so much so badly the moment he got the script for the Playmobil Movie, already anticipating to play the role of the agent Rex Dasher until he actually read the script and soon got flashbacks of the events of the Multiverse Crisis. Now enraged and pissed off, he goes on a ranting rampage and even throws his script at director Lino de Salvo's face as he informs the film crew that he is quitting immediately, citing his experience with the Multiverse Crisis as the reason why.

Despite Lino's pleads to appease him, Daniel didn't think twice on his decision and storms out of the recording studio, still upset and hurt as he begins to shed tears. What he doesn't expect as he walks out of there is a new Vortex forming beneath his feet, causing him to drop into it and sending into another world as it closes and leaves Earth Prime.

### What Happens in Macau

Soon enough, Daniel gets spat out of the Vortex to find himself in Macau, but it is not exactly the same Macau from his world when he discovers where he ended up landing into: an elevator to a penthouse tower in the Now You See Me World, which even baffles him in confusion more when he discovers a man who looked like his friend Jesse Eisenberg among a group. Upon being mistaken for Jesse, the man slapped him in the face and reveals to him that his name is J. Daniel Atlas, one of the Horsemen who got captured in Macau with his fellow Horsemen, Jack Wheeler, Merritt McKinley, and Lula May. Daniel also met the Horsemen's captors in the elevator who initially thought that he might be their boss, only for one of them, Fang, to receive a punch in the face by the angry English actor. When the elevator door opens upon reaching the top floor, Daniel becomes more horrified when he encounters the man that Fang and his men work for and who not only had arranged for the Horsemen's capture, but shares the same face as him: presumably dead tech prodigy Walter Mabry, a role Daniel once took on in the film Now You See Me 2.

Walter, shocked by Daniel's presence, begins to yell at Fang's cohort, Mitchell, about why they brought along an 'imposter' who 'stole' his face and the latter explains that he doesn't know how or why, but Walter is still not impressed and proceeds to confront Daniel about how he got into the penthouse. The understandably nervous actor reveals that he accidentally fell into the Vortex, to which everyone, including the Horsemen, laughed at, thinking that he is crazy. This only makes Daniel even more angry that he pulls at his baseball bat and whacks Walter on the head in self defense, making Jack to comment that he is clearly Walter's lookalike good twin.

## Trivia

* Running Gags:
	+ Daniel getting called as 'Walter's Good Twin' by Jack
	+ Ethan calling Daniel a kid (3 times in this story)
* The story takes place during *The Learning Curve* and *Rules to Follow Within the B-Team*.
* This marks the only appearance of Lino de Salvo, The Horsemen, The Eye, Walter Mabry, Arthur Tressler, Chase McKinley, and the Now You See Me World.
* This marks the first appearance of Li who becomes a vital ally to the B-Team as he would either appear or gets mentioned in succeeding stories and *Learning Curve* chapters.
* In real life, Daniel had accepted the role of Rex Dasher in *Playmobil the Movie* despite his constant refusal to play spy/agent roles in the past, claiming that Rex was, in his own words, '*a Playmobil version of James Bond in real life*'; despite his performance in there, the film flopped on the box office when it was released in a staggered release in 2019. But due to being heavily affected by the events of the Multiverse Crisis in the B-Team Chronicles, he becomes unhinged upon reading his script, forcing him to rage against the film to the director Lino and quit the role altogether. It is still unknown if the Rex role was recasted following Daniel quitting the Playmobil Movie in the B-Team Universe.
