Chapter 1: What Happened?

Mordecai, aged 23 suddenly woke up. He was in a strange room. It was all black and had no doors or windows. He suddenly noticed his friend Rigby, also 23 unconscious. Mordecai shook him but Rigby didn't respond.

"C'mon Rigby. WAKE UP!

Rigby suddenly opened his eyes only to find he was in a strange place.

" Moooredecaiii, where are we?" he muttered.

Noticing his terror he replied "Don't worry. We'll get out. Somehow." Mordecai got up with Rigby right behind.

"We need to figure out how to get out of this, this...whatever it is" Mordecai said. Rigby attempted to look for a way out but he couldn't.

"Dude I can't just be in this place forever. You know I'm claustrophobic. I...I...I can't breathe.." Mordecai looked at Rigby and was horrified. Rigby was hyperventilating. He had to stop him.

"Rigby calm down. Rigby!" Mordecai suddenly slapped him across the face. "Rigby chill out!" Rigby began to breathe normally before he finally calmed himself. "Thanks dude", he said.

A hole then opened in the room and a figure stepped out. He looked like some sort of rodent but it was hard for Mordecai to make out what he was. He looked like a beaver, squirrel, rat and racoon mix.

"Who are you?" he asked.

The "Thing" as Mordecai called him answered "I am Scabby Skullovitch but you may address me as Scabs. "

"So where are we Scabs." Rigby asked.

"You are in the Lost Universe. This is where cartoons go when they have passed their time."

Mordecai attempted to speak but Rigby beat him to it. "Passed our time? Our time just begun. Our show is better than any damn thing on TV right now!"he roared.

Scabs, looking offended said. "Precisely why you must go. Your two good for TV and now you will join your predecessors."

"Wait, what?" Mordecai asked.

"Fools! You will burn in the same pit that ended Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory and all those other washed up shows!"Scabs said while laughing maniacally .

Rigby suddenly became frightened as Mordecai looked at him and thought

"What the hell happened."
