--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grian:

Chaos. 

 Everything was in chaos. 

 Alternate versions of the people I've come to know where running around fighting each other.

  I pinpointed the other Iskall and the alternate version of Impulse arguing with each other.

 " What did Doc tell you Iskall?!" Impulse shouted as his dark blue, robotic eye glowed. Wait, Impulse has the eye now? 

 Iskall shrugged as he blocked a large blow from Impulse's sword, " That doesn't apply to these people dude! Doc said that the rule applies to the people on this planet. Grian saw the loophole." Iskall snorted as Impulse rolled his eyes, " They are still in a sense us! You saw the one that looks exactly like you!" Impulse retorted with a growl. 

I took notice of the outfit that this other Impulse was wearing. He had a long, blue coat with the symbols that were usually on his short-sleeve shirt. 

The two of them kept arguing with each other as Mumbo took off into the sky with Doc, Ren, and normal Iskall. 

 I looked down at the battlefield and looked at the towers where Cub and Scar would be in the normal world. They were there as expected from the Convex, but when Scar looked up towards me I swore he looked me dead in the eye and gave a sinister smile. 

I clutched Mumbo's suit with my good hand causing him to let out a confused noise. Mumbo looked down at me as we passed the tower.

 " What's wrong? Why did you grab me like that?" his tone was filled with worry, but he couldn't look down at me due to him having to play attention to flying. I told him about Scar's evil look towards me which even made him visibly uncomfortable. 

 The two of us landed on top of the star shaped building that honestly looked more passively colored than how it was in my world.

Mumbo looked at me, " Why would Scar give you an evil look? He doesn't have an evil bone in his body." Mumbo sighed as a sudden light bulb when off. I looked Mumbo directly in his eyes.

 " Yet a certain Cubfan does...." I narrowed my eyes with a frown. 

The two of us were silent for a couple of minutes at Mumbo carried me into the base, " What are you getting at Gree?" he questioned as we went down the stairs towards a small med bay area.

 I thought for a moment trying to find the right way to explain it. How could I explain it without all the details? Even I don't understand fully how this other world works. 

 I groaned as my hurt leg hit against the bed when Mumbo lowered me onto a light grey bed.

 Mumbo grabbed some medical supplies from a chest as I started to talk again after cleaning my glasses off, " What I'm getting at is the fact that these versions of us are us....." Mumbo quickly interrupted with a brief, " I know " before I continued, " The only problem is that these versions are almost a complete personality change, or a swap if that term serves better." I sighed out as Mumbo cocked his head to the side and stopped working on my leg briefly before giving me a small, " No, that can't be true." before he resumed working on my head. He continued to give me the confused look as he straightened up my hurt leg causing pain to shoot up it. 

 I growled at him causing Mumbo to lean back slightly, but he continued to diligently work on my leg despite the fact that I continued to protest. I continued to protest in vain as Iskall, Ren, and Doc came into the room. Ren was being propped up by Doc as the two came into the room.

 " That version of me seemed weirdly like Grian..." Doc sighed as he helped Ren lower onto a bed, " That's what I'm saying Doc! " Ren mumbled as his ear twitched, " These versions of us are like weird swapped around versions of... of well us! It's like this world took us and just put how I think into someone else's body, but they're still called by their own name." he sighed and looked over towards me and Mumbo.

I sat up as Mumbo finished with my leg, " See Mumbo, I'm not the only one that's thinking about this swap theory." I smirked causing Mumbo to shake his head. 

 Iskall crossed his arms as he sat down on a chair, " I'm so lost..." he rubbed his temples as I turned myself to face him. 

 I told him about my theory about how this world may work, and how Scar gave me an evil look previously as we were heading over to this base. 

 Ren joined in with his own rambling about the theory which included how weird the bases looked when compared to the bases from our world. 

 Doc finished with his comparison between himself, this world's version of me, and this world's version of himself. 

 Mumbo and Iskall looked at each other, " Are you two still lost even after that glorious explanation?" I asked as the two of them gave an embarrassed nod. 

 I gave the two a small work-in-progress idea of how this swapped thing works with how we were all swapped around in this world. 

 I told them that I was clearly swapped with Doc which explained the whole mad scientist cyborg look. 

 Ren said that he believes that his other self was probably swapped with Mumbo which explains why the Mumbo of this world wasn't wearing his usual suit and tie. 

I finally stated how Scar's evil expression towards me could be the key explanation on a swap between him and Cubfan. I gave a triumphant smirk as a lightbulb went off above Mumbo and Iskall's head.

 " That explains why the other me was dressed a bit like Impulse, and why Impulse had something that looked like my eye replacing one of his! " he gasped as the swapped versions of Team S.T.A.R filed into the room quietly upon the mention of Impulse's name.
