Episode 11: Here We Go Again

(Classified walks into an interrogation room, where Schmidt is held captive. He has a cold look on his eyes, an unprecedented, ruthless demeanor, as he sits on the chair opposite to Schmidt.)

Schmidt: You look colder than usual, Classified. Is it about my variant?

Classified: He only wanted to return to his dimension. He had nothing to do with any of this; he could've simply waited on the sidelines for the Shockwave Gem, but he helped me out as much as he could. He even took a blast meant for me, and he paid the price for that. 

Schmidt: Hold on; you seriously think he's dead?

Classified: So you're saying that...?

Schmidt: Your friend- my variant- is alive. 

Classified: But... how? Where is he?

Schmidt: I can only provide an answer for the former. You see, Salem played me like a fool; instead of a superweapon, he built something that can create portals into different worlds. What wa supposed to kill my variant simply teleported him to another world... another dimension. Maybe it's his home dimension, or maybe it's not; I can't truly tell. 

Classified: (sighs) Gimme one good reason why should I believe any of this. How can I know for certain that you're telling me the truth?

Schmidt: I already failed my mission, so concealing this information wouldn't benefit me in the slightest. Besides, if you get lost doing something reckless, then it's all good for me. 

Classified: (unamused)

Schmidt: Just ask your scientist if you're gonna keep taking everything I say with a grain of salt! 

Classified: Oh, I will. And in case you're right, (smirks then takes Schmidt's glasses) then he really needs those. 

Schmidt: NOT MY GLASSES!!!!

Classified: Later, Schmidt. 

Schmidt: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MY GLASSES!!!

(Meanwhile, Classified visits Salem to acquire confirmation for what Schmidt said.)

Classified: So it's true. 

Salem: Yeah. But what're you up to now?

Classified: Open a portal for me. 

Salem: You can't be serious about that!

Classified: Do it, Salem. If what Nawaf did placed him in trouble, then it's my duty to help him; if he returned to his dimension, then it's my duty to thank him personally. 

Salem: (nods)

(He brings the same superweapon Schmidt used previously, and, using the Shockwave Gem, he opens a portal for Classified.) 

Salem: Take this. (gives Classified some schematics) It'll show you where your friend dropped off, and it has enough Shockwave energy to bring you back here as well. 

Classified: You're a class act, mate. Send Confi and Covert my regards. 

Salem: Will do. Now good luck out there. 

(Classified nods and steps into the portal. He takes a deep breath then enters, and the portal closes afterwards. He is now traversing the void between dimensions, and, following his schematics, he heads off to a gateway. He finds himself in some sort of futuristic world almost entirely built upon gaming principles.)
