Shadow-Dancer: Return Of An Old Foe [ALTERNATE UNIVERSE VERSION]

Chapter 5: The Meeting

Jack's POV

"Thank you all fer comin' ta this meetin'. Becca, would ya like ta start off by sayin' what's on yer mind?" I say.

"Thanks, Jack. As you all may or may not know, Darkiplier showed up when Ob an' I were at Lily's house. He instructed her ta protect her home before he headed fer Markiplier Manor, which, accordin' ta him, is the only place where he can regain his strength," Becca explains.

"Ooh! When can we get started? I can't wait ta..." Jackieboy Man begins, but Anti interrupts him.

"Chill, Jackie," he says with a chuckle. "All we know is that Antimatter is back."

"Right," Jameson Jackson says. "Which is why we need ta know what we're up against. Ob, do ya have any information you would like ta share?"

"Actually, I do," Ob says. "After the entity that made up a part of Dark was defeated and he returned ta his old self, Antimatter decided he wasn't needed an' replaced him with Natemare."

"Natemare?!" Chase Brody exclaims. "He took my kids an' murdered my wife!! Anti's been helpin' me try ta find them, but Natemare keeps movin' 'em to a different location!"

"Yeah. I, too, have been strugglin' ta track them down," Marvin says.

"I completely understand," Dr. Schneeplestein says. "Chase, vonce ve rescue your children, zhey vill most likely need medical attention. An' don't vorry. Zhey vill be safe in zhe hands of zhe good doctah."

"I'm well aware," Chase replies.

Ob's POV

"Anyways, I would like ta congratulate Jackie an' Anti fer discoverin' Antimatter's main base," I say.

"Where is it?" Jameson asks.

"Alcatraz," Jackie replies.

"Vait. I zhought it vas abandoned?" Henrik wonders aloud.

"Not anymore, it's not," Anti says, matter-of-factly.

"Ya don't suppose my kids are goin' ta be there?" Chase asks.

"Oh, I'm countin' on it," Becca replies. Suddenly, we are all lifted up into the air before something teleports us to a place I don't recognize.

"Why are we here?" Jack wonders. I suddenly know that we are at Markiplier Manor.

Lyrics:

Breathe in the air
The light that surrounds me
If we hold ourselves together
We'll go far
Created a space
In my head it was empty
But I know that I want to be where you are

I was denied
I had spent those years
Did not recognise
The person that's inside
We have a purpose
But to take that leap
You must recognise
The person that's inside
The person that's inside

Believe me I swear
The story's not over
As I fall I will continue to get up
(Promise I will get back up)
I cannot stop
(Because it is over)
Living the moment
(Living in a quiet place)
To be everywhere, to be without a care
(Without a care)

I was denied
I had spent those years
Did not recognise
The person that's inside
We have a purpose
But to take that leap
You must recognise
The person that's inside
The person that's inside
