As the portal closes, all members of the Good Guys and Hunter's Guild appear within the entrance hall of a seemingly normal office building. With a nod of his head, Matt Dank signifies towards his group that they should all split up. As they do, each one takes a different teleporter to reach other floors within the building as the Hunter's Guild group look baffled before Matt smiles at them all and speaks."Oh, you're wondering why this looks like something from modern times?"Clearing his throat before talking, Berd steps forward looking sheepish."I think this is A LOT more modern than anyone, from that previous reality, would ever be use to. What gives, is this in some way a separate reality than the one we were just in?"Matt chuckles to himself as he hears this, though nods his head."You've pretty much hit the nail on the head, this building is party of our reality. Probably the only piece left, actually. And, also, by the way you've all reverted back to your realities forms."They look at each other and all smile as, like within the T.A.R.D.I.S., each one has been brought back to their true selves. Jokesum and Berd are their respective Android selves while Fylec is once again a Newman Force and General Mood hasn't really changed aside from his outfit."So, how do we help out here Mr Dank?"An inquisitive Fylec speaks up after patting Berd's back."Right, on with the mission! There are currently four floors that we usually split up and defend from...you know what? The fiends are almost here, watch me and you'll understand what to do."The group walk behind him and near to the teleporters as the doors to the building begin to shake and crack. Scratching and growling is heard from the other side as he then clenches both fists and builds his shield, just as a multi-limbed, triple-headed beast bursts through the entire front.They then watch as all three heads chomp and bite towards him, his shield shining with a burst of light with every attack. The creature then rears its middle skull back as the other two bite into his shield, then an energy blast shoots between its heads and directly at Matt Dank who takes the full force but withstands the hit.A whirring sound is heard, as the smoke clears, Matt's shield is now absorbing the previous attack and is building up to something twice the damage that had been dealt.Though his being cannot be seen, due to the smoke and dust wafted around, a slight chuckle is heard from him as then a radial blast is shot back at all three heads, the skin dissolves as the blast continues to vaporize every inch of the creature until it is no more. With a giant gaping whole being left where the buildings front was."So, wipe out the enemy and do it as soon as possible?"General Mood speaks up after dusting himself off, the smoke and dust clears as Dank's shield dissipates and he turns to face the group."Basically yes, though you will need to know that you most likely do not have any of your items from before. Like, our reality doesn't have magic or dark lords...well, aside from Satan."There is a slight unease from the group as they check their inventory and do find nothing of use. Jokesum shrugs then responds."So, how are we supposed to help out here? If we were in our reality we would have had our weapons.""Uh, oh. Good point, well we do have some weapons that you could use as like a one off. Or, if you'd like, you could just sit this one out. I mean, as you can't use your previous abilities, you'd just be sitting ducks."Though they are their original selves, the Hunter's Guild are more like civilians as Matt Dank smirks slightly towards them.The group all shrug as he brings his shield back up and prepares for another fight."Maybe we just sit back and enjoy the show?"Berd says as Jokesum rolls his eyes though nods afterwards in agreement. Finding four seats in an empty office room, the group then take one each and reflect upon their lives so far."Well, I remember our first adventure together; me and General Mood had joined up to find Jokesum. At the time, I didn't know who it was that was performing the speed run through the caves!"Jokesum chuckles at Fylec while Berd nods in approval of his fellow team mates antics."Ha ha! I remember that now, me and Jokesum had just parted ways as he wanted other rares. Fylec came up to me, while I was at a bloody tekker and told me to stop what I was doing and then mentioned that someone was doing the run. I knew it could have only been Jokesum. Who else would speed run an entire area?"The group chuckles while Matt Dank is fending off attacks. They continue to speak about their adventures together."That fight with De Rol Le though, pffft oh! Sorry Berd, you weren't there for that one."Nodding to what General Mood had said, Berd remembers what he had been doing while that was going on."Oh, that was the same time that I had been training up with Kireek. And I'm sure you had fun during the Caves bosses.""I mean, it was the first time that we had come across the bosses both being there. Odd times."Clenching his right fist slightly, Jokesum remembers Kireek trying to hurt Berd and all of the people that he had killed aboard Pioneer Two. More fiends turn up as the group lounge about in the office chairs."Do you think we'll ever get back to our reality, with everything that we had?"Berd speaks up, his question makes the entire group then think while humming."Well, if we don't we would need to find a purpose other than just helping others out. I mean, I'm all for just wandering around helping others...""Sorry, for interrupting you Fylec, but I do agree with you.""Then, why did you interrupt me Mood? If you agreed, you could have just nodded along with me."Frowning at his Hunter friend, Fylec becomes annoyed with his interruption while getting patted on his left shoulder as General Mood smiles towards him."Any who, we should make a pact here and now. Make up our own reason for travelling places and not just walking around hoping for something to happen."The group all nod towards each other as blasts of energy fly around the entrance. They all agree with Jokesum's idea.
