Somewhere, in another dimension, after killing a golem, the hunter pulls out the blade from it's chest, opens up a portal, and returns to his invisible ship.

Hunter: WDPK, access trophy room.

A trophy room showed up, he put the blade as a trophy with his black gloved hands encased with some golden shells. He then looks upwards.

Hunter: Did I perform well?

A day later, the hunter still remained in the forest, pretty much everything was made of stone, except the sky.

Hunter: Nice night. Isn't it?

He then saw with his visor a humanoid stone run away, and later, he saw two other people chasing after it.

Hunter: Hurm.

Synthwave and Farshtey were chasing down the humanoid, which the latter stopped running.

Humanoid: You are not going to interfere with my plans, boy!

Synthwave: Hurm. We'll see about that.

The humanoid shoots rocks out of nowhere to the other two, but they dodged it, Synthwave using his grappling gun to go up a stone tree.

Synthwave: Let's see... You're incredibly strong at close range, you're also formidable at long range... But...

The humanoid also throws another rock to Synthwave, but he also dodges it by going to the ground.

Synthwave: Isn't that a pigeon?

The humanoid turns his head back and looks upwards.

Humanoid: What?

Synthwave then proceeds to punch him straight in the face.

Humanoid: Ouch! You're going to pay for that!

The humanoid runs and tries to punch Synthwave, but he manages to dodge every single attack he makes. Synthwave doesn't try to grab him, but he follows up with two punches and a kick. Farshtey aims his handgun at the humanoid.

Farshtey: Alright, outlaw, you are under arrest!

Humanoid: Fine, a deal is a deal.

Synthwave and Farshtey proceeded to take the humanoid back to jail, and after that, they decided to leave, walking towards the RV.

Farshtey: How did you manage to humiliate that... Being the second time, kid?

Synthwave: Simple, he was quite strong, but he was very predictable.

Farshtey: Oh, understood. If I remember, I'll try to-

Synthwave and Farshtey stopped, and saw the body of a golem with a giant hole on his chest. They ran toward it to see what happened.

Farshtey: Oh no... Poor fella.

Synthwave: It's not normal for golems of this dimension to fight each other...

Synthwave then notices that one of its hands was ripped from the creature.

Farshtey: Who did this?

Synthwave: I don't know. But whatever's out there, we have to stop it.

Farshtey: I agree. How do you know another golem didn't do this?

Synthwave: Laurie, Annie, and I visited this dimension before. I know that this isn't normal.

On the invisible ship, the hunter is watching over Synthwave.

Hunter: Hurm. He is starting to suspect. Very clever. Adding another fact. The humanoid's attacks. Seemingly aware of them. Not to underestimate.
