Sean, Alex, Cody, & Jj: *Exiting the portal, they found themselves standing on grass*
 
Sean: Where are we?
 
Cody: I too am wondering the same thing…
 
Jj: This isn’t home…
 
Alex: *Fitting the sword into his medieval belt* I don’t believe this… 
 
Jj: What?
 
Alex: We’re in Scuttle Town…
 
Jj: How can you tell?
 
Alex: I’ve been here before! Y'all know that!
 
Cody: Then why are we here?
 
Sean: If we’re here, then something must be going on…
 
Alex: We should look around the town, maybe we’ll find something there…
 
Jj: *Walking away from the group, he reach a vantage point, overlooking the town, almost bumping into a log*
 
Sean: Maybe we’ll find one of those things where you had, remember?
 
Alex: Those little teleport balls? It’s been a long time since I heard of them.
 
Jj: *Looking towards the town, he saw buildings* Is this the town?
 
Alex: *Walking towards Jj, he stood beside and looked over the town* That’s where we should investigate…
 
Jj: I think that’s a good idea.
 
Cody: Let’s just hope whatever’s waiting for us, there is good…
 
Sean: Let’s hope so…

Shantae: *Stepping outside the portal, she found herself wearing her normal clothes* 
 
Rottytops: *Nearing the edge of a roof* We’re back in Scuttle Town?
 
Miguel: I thought we were heading home?
 
Shantae: Looks like something’s going on here…
 
Miguel: Is it something good or bad?
 
Rottytops: I have no idea…
 
Shantae: *Hearing a sound, she looked towards the market square and saw no one*
 
Miguel: What was that?
 
Shantae: I’m going to investigate that sound... *Hopping down the roof, she lightly landed on the dirt*
 
Miguel: Wait for us!
 
Rottytops & Miguel: *Landing behind her, they followed behind her*
 
Shantae: *Walking past the shops, she kept and eye out for anything suspicious*
 
Rottytops: Where is everyone?
 
Shantae: I know…
 
Miguel: Hey! Over there! Isn’t that Bolo!?!
 
Shantae: *Looking in that direction, she saw a figure standing there*
 
Miguel: *Running towards him*
 
Rottytops: *Following behind him* BOLO!
 
Shantae: *Following behind them, Bolo came into clear view*
 
Bolo: *Standing still, looking towards another direction*
 
Shantae: *Standing between Miguel and Rottytops*
 
Rottytops: *Walking up to Bolo* Buddy???
 
Bolo: *Backhanding Rottytops, he sent her flying towards a market stand*
 
Miguel: ROTTY!!
 
Rottytops: *Unconscious*
 
Shantae: *Taking out her scimitar*
 
Miguel: You got a weapon!?!
 
Shantae: It just appeared!
 
Miguel: Maybe because this is your game.
 
Shantae: Right!
 
Miguel: *Looking around, he saw a weapons shop and grabbed a shield*
 
Bolo: *Black stuff, ran across his body and face*
 
Shantae: Bolo… What happened to you?
 
Shadow Bolo: *Swinging his flail around*
 
Miguel: LOOK OUT! *Pushing aside Shantae*
 
Shantae: *Recovering from the push, she turned around to see Risky*
 
Shadow Risky: *Shrugging off her shoulders*
 
Miguel: I’ll get Bolo, you get Risky?
 
Shantae: Don’t get hurt…
 
Miguel: I probably will…
 
Bolo: *Rushing towards Miguel*

Alex: No one’s here…
 
Sean: This is crazy…
 
Jj: Keep an eye out…
 
Cody: I think you should lead the way Alex…
 
Alex: Me?
 
Jj: You have the weapon!
 
Alex: Right… *Walking past Sean and Cody, he kept his hand on his weapon at all time*
 
Jj: Stick together…
 
Cody: Got no other ideas…
 
Sean: Ditto on that…
 
Alex, Sean, Cody, & Jj: *Hearing something, they all faced towards a home*
 
Alex: This is Uncle Mimic's house…
 
Cody: It’s all run-down that’s for sure…
 
Jj: Alright… Should we investigate?
 
Alex: If it’ll explain what’s going on...
 
Cody: We’ll follow right behind…
 
Alex: *Leading the rest towards the broken front entrance*
 
Cody: I don’t like this one bit…
 
Alex: *Taking a look inside, he was immediately tackled by Mimic and ran him into a wall*
 
Jj: HOLY-
 
Shadow Mimic: *Holding him up, he slammed him against the wall again*
 
Sean: *Grabbing a broken down window panel, he threw it towards Mimic*
 
Shadow Mimic: *Walking towards them menacingly, it stopped in place*
 
Sean: What is Mimic doing?
 
Jj: I don’t know! Ask him!
 
Cody: We gotta get Alex, while Mimic is not doing anything…
 
???: *Landing behind them*
 
Jj, Cody, & Sean: *Turn around to see who was behind them*
 
Shadow Austin: *Walking towards them*
 
Jj: Austin-
 
Shadow Austin: *Punching Jj in the face, interrupting him*
 
Jj: *Staggering backwards*
 
Sean: *Surprised, he felt the need to retaliate*
 
Shadow Austin: *Blocking his attack, he uppercutted him*
 
Jj: *Getting up, something grabbed his attention*
 
Alex: HELP!!!
 
Shadow Mimic: *Dragging Alex, he kept walking away*
 
Jj: ALEX-
 
Shadow Austin: *Tugging his collar, he threw Jj back into the ground*
 
Jj: *Getting the air knocked out of him, he dodged an incoming attack by Austin*
 
Sean: *Coughing, he stood next to Jj along with Cody*
 
Cody: For a fat guy… He’s really beating the crap out of us…
 
Sean: What happened to Alex?
 
Jj: He got taken away, but we’ll get him back…
 
Cody: But first, we gotta focus on this guy…
 
Austin: *Walking towards them again*
 
Jj: I have a plan…
 
Cody: Let’s hear it then…
 
Jj: Attack at the same time.
 
Sean: That’s better than nothing...
 
Jj: Ready?
 
Cody: Let’s go!
 
Jj, Sean & Cody: *Rushing Austin at the same time*
