Ross' POV
"Mark, where and what the hell?" I rubbed my head confused, it looked like LA except....stranger and darker.
"Uh....well...." The gamer laughed nervously, he was scared to tell Ross what exactly was going on
"It's so...gloomy" I said, as thunder boomed. I checked my phone. "And I have no service..what am I going to tell Holly?" I chuckled a little, drifting into a daydream of Danny telling Holly that her fiancé got sucked into a portal.
"ROSS!!" Mark tried to get my attention by waving his hand in front of my face. I shook my head "sorry..I'm listening"  "I have something to tell you before we start going off deeper into this place" Mark walked to a parking lot for a HUGE hotel, I followed mark. "I have to tell you something Ross'' "ok..what is it?" I gulped, slightly worried. "Well...." Mark started off with a deep breath "there's these demon guys...who are a lot like us actually...well the total opposite of us...their names are Dark and AntiNinja...they are the ones that rule this world..." Mark let it all out. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't believe what Mark just told me, but considering we were sucked into a portal; it made sense. "Okayyyy, so they wanted us here?" I asked looking at Mark worried. "Well..sadly...yes...dark wants me dead...so he could take over....the thing is..is that in this world...they are stronger...it's going to be hard to beat them...and keep them away from the real LA" I nodded. "So I guess AntiNinja is an evil me" I bit my tongue as I thought. "Well I guess we'll have to do what any protagonist in a game would do.."
"Yea..." Mark sat down against a wall, looking at Ross. "I guess so..."
I gulped "well that means we'll have to find weapons....or do we have powers here? I'll see" I ran towards a fence, and tried to jump like super Mario, but he hit the fence "oww!! No powers"
Mark shook his head slowly "compared to them we are nothing! We can easily be killed by just one swipe!"
I sat by Mark "but we have one thing that they don't....and you know what that is?"
"What would that be?" Mark asked looking at the sky
"This." I replied, pointing to Marks chest "a heart, used for loving and caring about our friends and the people that matter the most to us. We have a sense of comradeship and loyalty" I added. "Dark and AntiNinja don't. They just have the greed of power"
"That's true....but I don't think that will help us this time..." Mark felt something touching his fluffy hair "Ross stop touching my hair"
"I'm not touching it" I answered, confusion in my tone. I felt a breeze, this didn't feel right.
They both heard a cutesy/annoying voice "hey guys!!" It was tiny box Tim
"hey tim" I replied with a smile watching Tim and Mark. 
Mark picked him up "Tim it's you! Aww my little biscuit!" Mark laughed and hugged Tim "what are you doing here Tim?"
"So uh..you guys got sucked into the portal too?" Tim asked looking up at Mark then at Ross
Mark nodded
"And you know that dark is out here right?" Tim asked
"And AntiNinja" I added. I bit my tongue, thinking of what their next move would be. What would link do in this situation? "Tim any idea what we should do?"
:not really" the little box replied looking up at Ross with his big blue eyes. "But I know a place where they keep some weapons!" The little box said excitedly
Mark looked to Tim with a smile then back at me
I hopped up "then let's go!"
Mark put Tim on his shoulder letting Tim direct them to where they were going. As the trio walked past a graveyard, a name caught my eye.
"Wait..." I said, running into the maze of headstones. Hopefully the name I had see was wrong
"What's wrong?" Mark walked up to Ross
I got closer "Mark....I think in this world Holly's dead.." I gulped, as the name said Holly Conrad "well..the parallel version"
I looked back to the buildings
"Alright let's keep going" I said, my mind overflowing with questions that didn't have answers to
Mark nodded. Tim pointed to a old looking shed, the shed was a dark color brown, with a red tin roof, and a very big wooden door. "That she'd!" Tim said excitedly
Mark and I walked inside the shed. The shed had machine guns, rifles, hand guns, hatchets, axes and many more.
I shivered, I wasn't the violent type. "I'll just stick to a pocket knife and a handgun" I picked up a small Swiss Army knife and a gun that looked like something James Bond would use. "Q isn't armed.." I said quietly to myself.
Mark sighed looking at all of the weapons. He had a flashback of the baseball bat "uh...Tim"
"Yes?" Tim asked looking at mark
"This is where dark keeps all of his weapons"
"Shiiittt." I gulped, looking around preparing for a fight
"I'm sure dark has better things to do then pester us at the moment" Mark said reassuring me
"True" I said relaxing a bit,seeing what kind of features the knife has. I heard something like a squeak. "Huh?" A green eyeball came out from behind a crate."Sam? why are you here?" The septic eye bounced. "I see, they thought you were marks at first" I chuckled, and the eye hopped up on my shoulder
Mark laughed slightly "I thought you would be with jack" Mark said to the septic eye
"Jacks not here...I came by mistake." Sam squeaked. "Oh I see.." Mark chuckled. I chuckled "guess we start heading towards the city center" "I guess so" Mark replied. Tim hopped a few times "yay!" Tim said with a laugh. "The darkness gives me the chills" I admitted looking up and trying to find the tallest building. "Oh really?" Mark looked at me then forward. Tim looked up "seems like we just keep going straight" my stomach grumbled. "Onward we go" I was scared, and still confused. Why did only he and Mark get sucked in? Do the rest of the grumps have evil versions too? Was 'holly' evil? There was so many questions he wanted answered, and it seems like AntiNinja or Dark would be the only ones able to answer these questions
Mark kept walking "we need to find some shelter" Mark said looking around.
A screech came from the sky "we do and fast! I think there's a bomb attack coming" I grabbed Mark's sleeve, running into what seemed to be a abandoned run down gas station. Once they got inside they heard a evil laugh.
