*Scene begins with Tari, Y/N, and Theo all warped inside a video game cartridge of Ultra Jump Mania*

Tari: Well... I guess you're back home Theo.

Theo: I don't want to go back

Y/N: Come on Theo, you saw yourself glitching out. It's not safe for you to stay too long in the physical world

Theo: But, I had so much fun being with you two! I've never had any other human friends before...

Tari: I know Theo, but we can't risk anything happening to you.

Y/N: Especially with Lucks out there hunting for us.

Theo: I'll... I'll miss both of you...

Y/N: Hey, don't worry man, we'll still come visit you here from time to time

Tari: Of course!

Theo: Really!

?: Crackerjack!

*Another Theo would appear looking confused at another Theo, Tari, and Y/N. After the the game would glitch out and promptly boot out Theo, Tari, and Y/N*

Tari: Sofia! What's happening?

Theo: This feels weird!

Y/N: This isn't fine...

*The shot would then show Tari and Y/N lying next to each other on the ground gasping from leaving the game while MD-5 standing over them*

Sofia: HEY! YOU TWO OK?!

Tari and Y/N: Yeah...

*Theo would then materialize next to Tari*

Lamar: NANI?! What the hell just happened?

Tari: I have no idea, I think the game just kicked us out.

*Sofia would think to herself and then would walk over to the video game cartridge*

Sofia: It must be... THIS!

*Sofia would then be holding the cartridge up like she just got a new item in Legend of Zelda*

Lamar: What? What about it?

Sofia: This Ultra Jump Mania game already has its own Theo. So when it saw our Theo, it didn't know what to do and booted you all out of the game.

Theo: I don't get it.

Y/N: The game didn't know what to do with two Theos so it committed die.

Theo: Woah! So does this mean I get to stay with you two?

Masa: No, this means that you need to get back into your own cartridge.

Theo: Boo...

Tari: Oh! Theo's original gaming cartridge is back at the speed running arena! Let's go and get it!

Sofia: Uhhh... knowing Lucks, he definitely would've taken it back to TasCorp...

Tari: No... you've got to be kidding me...

Lamar: That makes things a little bit harder, don't they?

Sofia: Don't worry guys, we'll get it back! We'll find a way!

Masa: Sofia... do you remember Operation Silent Demon?

Sofia: Silent Demon... oh yes! I do!

Lamar: Oh hell no! I'm gonna stop you two right there. This wasn't the original plan. We were gonna train Y/N and Tari and get them to join the team, that was it.

Masa: And how exactly do you expect to get Theo's cartridge back Lamar, just from getting them to join?

Lamar: I... I'm not sure... but it's a whole lot safer than going in that near-impossible suicide mission that's for sure.
