>YOUR NAME IS DAVE

DAVE: this is bad right
HARLEY: yes! :(

You and Harley are surrounded by literally everyone in the Resistance base. You have Caledscratch and Jaspers' wand out, the former rewound to the dawn of its timeline, and Harley has her green machine gun which crackles with energy.

HARLEY: please stop
HARLEY: i dont want to shoot!

The scratchy, broken voice of Caliborn comes from the loudspeakers, and you resist the urge to destroy the closest one with Jaspers' wand.

CALIBORN: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. LET'S SEE HOW YOU REACT. WHEN YOU HAVE TO RETIRE YOUR 'FRIENDS'!

You fail to resist the urge, and Harley looks slightly unamused as small bits of debris rain down on you. That quickly fades to regret, though, as the mind-controlled army begins advancing on you.

Except then, a gust of wind blows through the halls and everyone looks around suddenly, like they just woke up from sleepwalking. You guess they kind of did.

JOHN: caliborn! stop this!

A silvery strand of air rushes in and materializes into the slightly translucent form of John, who stands there, deadly serious. He looks at you and Harley, and gives you a smile.

JOHN: i managed to cut off the signal, but only to the base! caliborn is under skaia right now, in the denizen lair.
JOHN: dave sprite, you need to stop him!
DAVE: ok
JOHN: here, jade sprite. i can tell you how to get there.
JOHN: i can't cut off the signal much longer though.
DAVE: right
DAVE: timed missions i got it
JOHN: heh, yeah.

John crosses over to one of the terminals and begins typing furiously.

JOHN: done!
JOHN: i didn't send you straight to caliborn, though. you'll have a bit of time before you get there.
JOHN: it was too dangerous, there's a lot of tiny passages. i didn't want to send you into a wall.
DAVE: okay
DAVE: thanks i dont need to be walldave right now
JOHN: hehe.

You quickly dash onto the transporter and give a thumbs up to Harley. She begins the sequence.

JOHN: wait, dave sprite!

You don't hear what else he has to say, though, because you find yourself in the underbelly of Skaia.

DAVE: gdi

You really did not need to fight the Felt all over again right now. Of course, Caliborn wouldn't care anyways.

You just continue into the next room, almost kicking down the automatic doors as they slide open slowly with the hiss of hydraulic machinery.

CALIBORN: SO. 'DAVE' HUMAN. ARE YOU HAVING FUN. PLAYING MY LITTLE GAME?

Of course it would be the fucker's room right after that.

DAVE: of course im fucking not
DAVE: does this even count as a game
DAVE: murdergame more like
CALIBORN: YES. THAT IS A VERY GOOD GAME.
CALIBORN: IN FACT. WE SHOULD PLAY THAT. AFTER THIS ONE!
DAVE: jesus youre dense
DAVE: can we not
CALIBORN: TOO LATE. 'DAVE'.
DAVE: what

And then, Gamzee or Alpha or whatever his name is bursts in. He's still as huge as last time you'd met him, with wild hair and even messier face paint which only serves to make him more terrifying. He holds a gigantic spiked club in each hand, and you swear he still hasn't stopped smiling like that since the first time you met him.
