It was late December in the ChalkZone World, a while after the first Superwolf Reunion. Rudy and Penny were hanging out at Drew Yerface's place one last time since they were to permanently move into ChalkZone on New Year's Eve.
"This has been a great day." Penny smiled.
"Well it doesn't have to end soon." Rudy pointed out. "We don't exactly have a deadline."
"True."
"I'd better get more snacks." Drew noticed that the platters in front of them were running low on snacks. "Oh, and I've decided to draw future issues of my comic on the chalkboard so that you can continue enjoying them."
"Hey cool!" Rudy smiled. "I still wish we can see each other in the future."
"Me too but it would be too dangerous for ChalkZone." Drew started to leave.
Then, suddenly, he stopped. Outside his living room window he saw a dark pink convertible. It was really the color that first got his attention, but what later made him frown was that the driver was dressed all in black...including a mask. On top of that, the driver had binoculars pointed towards his house...specifically Rudy and Penny. Rudy and Penny didn't notice, they were too busy talking. This meant that they also didn't notice Drew frowning towards the black driver.
Late that night, Rudy and Penny began to walk home. They wanted to have one last look at Real World Christmas decorations. However, when they were blocks away from Drew's home a dark shadow pounced Rudy!
"Rudy!" Penny gasped.
The dark shadow was choking Rudy! Rudy struggled to both force the dark shadow's hands off his throat and stay alive.
"No!" Penny rushed ahead. "Get off him!"
Penny pounced on the dark shadow and tried to force him off Rudy. However she was tossed aside and ended up hitting a brick wall! Rudy saw this with horror, especially after Penny fell to the ground unconscious. She didn't move at all. Thinking that she was dead, tears formed in Rudy's eyes. He stopped struggling to stay alive.
Just then, something knocked out the dark shadow and tossed it off Rudy! Rudy was losing consciousness by this point though so he didn't recognize the new dark shape that appeared. He blacked out completely and knew no more...
