In a laboratory deep underground, a young woman fiddled with an old experiment. Her blond hair was pulled back to keep it out of her face, which was scrunched up in concentration. Not far away, another woman sat at one of the junk-filled work tables. She was completely oblivious to her companion, too engrossed in a book to care about the outside world. She absentmindedly twirled a strand of her dark- blue hair around one finger as she immersed herself in a fictional world.
The spell was broken, however, as the blond woman suddenly let out a shout. "Haha, I did it! It's complete!"
The second woman jumped at the noise, dropping her book. She shot her companion a dirty look, which went unnoticed as the blond lifted up her invention to the heavens.
"Look, Sides!" She said excitedly, holding the machine out to her friend for inspection.
"What? What is it?" The other girl snapped as she bent over to pick up her book. She had just been getting to the good part…
"This, my little mushroom, is THE DE-AGED RAY." The blond woman said teasingly. She adjusted her grip on the strange machine, holding it like a gun. "Now hold still; I wanna see if it works"
"My name is Sidekicks, and I'm not a mushroom." Sidekicks eyed the ray warily. Slowly, she edged her seat out of its trajectory. "And you're not testing that thing on me. Go find a squirrel or something to fire it at."
"Aww come on, I promise it won't hurt you...I think. And how dare you tell me to look for a squirrel!" The blond added indignantly. "They're too fast for me."
"Then here's an idea, Kiki,why don't I test it on YOU? It's your invention, you might as well be the guinea pig."
Kiki looked at her friend with wide eyes and took a step back. "Okay, you no be subject," she relented Her brow furrowed in thought. "Now what or how am I ?..." Suddenly her eyebrows shot up as an idea formed in her head. She spun around and dashed deeper into the lab. "Sidekicks, come! Me got idea!"
"Coming, Grimlock." Sidekicks rolled her eyes and followed the blond blur.
"Aww, you called me Grimlock." Kiki notices with a smile. But her attention quickly snapped back to the matter at hand. Weaving through piles of tools and salvaged machine parts, she and Sidekicks eventually arrived at a metal arch set up against the wall. Sidekicks' eyebrows raised; the design looked familiar.
"Now Sides, before you ask, this is not a ground bridge. That over there is a "Ground Bridge'." Kiki said, jabbing a thumb toward another metal arch a few hundred yards away. Sidekicks did a double take.
"You have a ground bridge and you never told me?!" Sidekicks raced toward the other machine in awe. "How far is its range? Could it transport me to Florida? Or Europe?!"
Kiki gave her friend a blank look. "Yes, but we no use that now. I need to test this out, and not here. So come on," She dragged a reluctant Sidekicks back to the first arch. "Now, this is Dimension Portal Number two. Number one turned out to be a Ground Bridge."
Kiki fixed her friend with an unusually sober look. "Listen carefully, my little mushroom: no bring any food, drinks nor anything made of garnet."
Sidekicks looked at her incredulously, cocking an eyebrow.
"What? You never be too sure. Now, with that out of the way, through the portal to a mystical place! Where we go, I cannot tell you. Well, I can… but I won't." Kiki laughed as she input something into the controls. The metal arch hummed, a red vortex forming in its center. The mad scientist grabbed Sidekicks and stepped into the vortex.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Sidekicks muttered as she let herself be dragged into the portal. "Are you sure we can't go to Europe to test your thingy out?"
"No, I have better plans." Kiki let out a laugh that sent a shiver down Sidekicks' spine. "Now come along, Sides; we have work to do!"
Bright light blinded them as they stepped through the arch. A strange tingling rushed over their bodies, making their hair stand on end. And then with a lurch, it stopped. Sidekicks blinked away the afterimages left by the portal and looked around. They definitely weren't in the lab anymore; tall trees surrounded them in a sea of green. Kiki grinned, pleased that her machine had worked again. "Here we are!"
"Where are we?" Sidekicks spun in a slow circle, taking everything in. This looked nothing like the land around their lab.
"Where would be the fun in telling you?" Kiki said with an evil grin. "Come, my little mushroom, our subject awaits."
Sidekicks watched her friend enter the woods, feeling a chill of foreboding. Whatever was about to happen, she had a feeling it was not going to end well.
