Chapter 2: Cliff.

[The leaves were flying through the air outside, after everything that happened a couple months ago it seems strange that it's still not raining. Everyone at the studio was taking a break, all except for Mikey and Salty. When it was late enough, they sneeked into the temporarily closed studio and broke into the locked closet to find the arcade machine, before they went they checked what they had.]

Mikey: "alright, you got everything?"

Salty: "weapons, food, water.. yeah we have everything."

Mikey: "...are you sure you wanna go through with this dude? I mean the last time we went there we almost died."

Salty: "listen if anyone's gonna make sure those guys won't hurt us it's gonna be me."

Mikey: "last time we tried to stop them Pastey almost died."

Salty: "that's why he's not coming, there's no way I'm gonna risk Pastey getting hurt again."

Mikey: "... What are we gonna do when we get there?"

Salty: "I don't know just- give me time alright? I have a plan."

Mikey:" ... Ok then."

[They plugged in the machine and pressed start, sending them back to the other dimension. However they spawned on a Rocky cliff, the sky was a dry orange, it looked like it was about to be night.]

Salty: "why the fuck are we... Who knows, let's get to the bottom of this cliff and find shelter."

[They walked along a seemingly endless path in the cold night, not even questioning it. They spotted a forest filled with blue leaves and berries growing from bushes at the end of the cliff, however before they could get there a shadowy figure jumped in front of them and stood there. Salty raised his sword.]

Salty: "Stay away from us!"

[The figure stood up, they spoke in a gargled gibrish before being able to talk.]

???: "who walks along my path."

Salty: "I don't wanna hurt you! Just get out of the way, me and my friend need to stop someone!"

???: "..wait. are you the warriors legend speaks of..?

Salty: "... what?"

[Salty shakes his head in anger.]

Salty: "who are you!"

Counterpart Red: "my creator named me Red. I was made to be an experiment, I roam here now."

Mikey: "... Red?"

Counterpart Red: "you know me?"

Mikey: "yeah! There's someone from our dimension that looks just like you!"

Counterpart Red: "... Oh of course! That's why you looked so familiar to me.."

Salty: "...you've seen our murderer versions?"

Counterpart Red: "you know how the purple one got that blob on his eye? I did that."

Salty: "... Jesus.. Well uhh, I think that made him more weird."

Counterpart Red: "... Shit. Well it was worth a shot, I thought it would kill him.."

Mikey: "... Oh. Well uhh thanks for the chat were gonna go no-"

Counterpart Red: "not so fast, I have to test your skill first."

Mikey: "... What do you mean by tha-"

[They jumped at Mikey and Salty from above, Mikey blocking the attack with his shield]
