-11:45 PM-
A group of ten individuals are walking down the street.
They're speaking, but in low, and hushed tones.
If one listened closely, they might hear what they were saying.
They turn the corner, and see the building that they wanted to arrive at.
"Do we really have to eat at McDonald's…?"
A female voice. Echoed in the night; she was quite tired, and sounded quite bored as well. She was near the front of the group of people. Once more, if one paid attention, they would notice that this voice belong to Lucahjin.
"Well, we don't have much of an option. All because SOMEONE thought the restaurants closed at TWELVE instead of ELEVEN!" A deeper voice, belonging to Protonjon. His response was met with a somewhat indignant reply of "I swear, the sign said eleven o'clock! Really!" This came from Chuggaaconory. At this time, another voice began to mockingly sing in a manner that acted as if no one could hear her, but made it loud enough as to be sure that all in the immediate vicinity did. "Jon's whiny, he's moody, and also a little snooty…" Masae grinned in an irritating way to Jon, whom promptly gave a glare that Chuggaa laugh. Meanwhile, Lucahjin sighed and took a look behind her.
Stephen and Mal were making small talk, probably the most calm of the group; she also noted that Stephen was holding a camera, most likely to update the vlog.
AttackingTucans and JoshJepson were talking loudly and making jokes and jabs at each other.
Donna and NintendoCaprisun were talking about the amiibo figurines, pointing out features and differences between them. NCS and Donna were each holding bags from Gamespot.
One by one, they entered the McDonalds. Despite the slightly unsettling clerk, which they decided her behaviour was due to the fact they had to take ten more orders near midnight. They also noticed all their bags had a strange stone; it was a sphere, and small: Only about the size of their palm. Each one was differently coloured, but each was emblazed with the super smash brothers symbol. In fact, Masae exchanged her stone with Stephen. In the end though, they didn't think too much of it.
Maybe they should have.

-12:30 AM-
-Stephen's POV-
It was kinda late. The McDonald's meal wasn't too bad, for McDonald's, I guess. Still, I'm really tired right now, and so is Mal. Thankfully, we're back at the hotel. Mal and I finished up getting ready for bed very quickly. Maybe because we're tired, but I'm now noticing that the stones we got are actually glowing. In fact, weren't they glowing before? At this rate, it'll be impossible to sleep with them around.
With that, I sigh, and grab the stones; but the moment I do, a strange looking magic circle appears at my feet. Before I can even panic, I noticed Mal shouting; a similar circle has appeared at her feet as well.
"Steph, what the he-
The next thing I knew, I was falling.

-Protonjon's POV-
Pain - that's the first thing that registered as I regained my consciousness. The second was that wherever I was – clearly, not the hotel anymore – looked like some invasion just occurred; The town looked quite steampunk era. However, the buildings were heavily damaged, carts and statues were destroyed and their pieces were scattered on the floor. The fountain, which I woke up at, had the statue's head decapitated. To make matters worse, it seemed like winter – and it was cold. I had to find shelter fast, or I might catch hypothermia. Turning around, I saw an extremely large fortress. It was thoroughly destroyed, with wrecked cannons, destroyed towers and smoke coming out of several areas. However, if there were any food supplies or anything to keep warm with, I bet I could find something there. The town seemed quite dead, so I was startled out of my mind when someone tapped on my shoulder.
