CHAPTER 1: UMIO'S FIRST ENCOUNTER
As Umio traversed the barren lands, something didn't seem quite right. His head was still pounding, the headache was manageable, however his memory was quite fuzzy.. did he forget something important? And of course, as if on cue, an image flashed within Umio's mind. He closed his eyes, concentrating on the feeling. Bright, colorful, the complete opposite of what was in front of him now. A flash of orange, a dash of purple, a speckle of green, all fading into black. It was all so nostalgic, but why was there a hint of melancholy in the fleeting cheerful colors? Umio opened his eyes and sighed, the answer was clear of course.
"If things ended up like this, how could there possibly be any happy ending to that fragmented memory..?" Umio questioned.
"Of course there would be no happy ending, not with ME around, hyuck!"
Umio's eyes widened as he pivoted to face the mysterious man.
"Well.. good evening."
"That's right, hyuck! It is I, Foygoox, the paper bag Goofy ripped from a video!"
"I thought I killed you, how are you still here?"
"You see, in the two seconds that I was dead, Xe**** came by and replaced my body with a double! The me that stands before you now was never dead! I have bamboozled you, hyuck!"
"...Ah, pardon? Could you run that name by me again? It sounded like a bunch of gibberish."
"I said, Xe**** came by and replaced my body with a double!"
"...Right."
"Now prepare yourself, Fish Legs, hyuck! Foygoox will strike you down!"
"I'd like to see you try." Umio spun his scythe as he posed, his legs shining as he braced himself for a battle. Umio laughed, his pride in his prowess and his legs evident.
"This is going to be fun..."
