In a abandoned carnival, a white flash of light appeared for a while, and then disappeared with Cyclops and Pibby falling down to the ground face first. They laid down for a while before getting up. "Is it normal to fall down when you use that remote?" Asked Pibby. "No, this is my first time using it. But we might get used to it for a while after using it. Now let's search around and see if we can find someone to guide us to a professor." Replied Cyclops as he is putting his horns back onto his helmet. "Ok, but what are you putting into your helmet, and what is a professor? Asked Pibby. "A professor is a really smart person that might help us with the glitch problem, and the things I am putting on my helmets are horns. The reason I am putting them is to fight against anyone that might try to hurt us." Replied Cyclops as he finished putting them on. Pibby said "Ok, now lets go." Cyclops nodded, and both of them began to walk around the carnival. They both looked around trying to find the exit and someone who might help them. Pibby looked to her right then pointed and said "Hey there is someone out there." Cyclops then looked at where Pibby is pointing. A couple of feet away from them is a teenager standing there wearing blue pants with a white sweater and a orange ascot on his neck. "Hey there. Hello. What are you doing here? Can you help us with something? Don't be afraid, we are friendly. Shouted Cyclops. The boy just stood there with his back turned to the duo. The duo looked at each other in confusion, and decided to walk towards him.
After a few feet, Cyclops then saw something emitting from the boy shoulders. "Wait a minute Pibby. Something is not right." Said Cyclops stopping Pibby from walking. As Pibby was about to ask what is wrong, the boy his head around while his body remains still. Both of them were shocked at what the boy did. The boy had his eyes and mouth closed, making the duo uncomfortable. After a few minutes have passed, Cyclops said "Pibby, get ready to run." Pibby nodded in agreement, and got ready. Just as both of them took a step back, the boy then opened his eyes and mouth. His face looks like someone is laughing, but it's frozen to the point where they are smiling with their mouth open. As for his eyes, they are white as snow. After the boy opened his mouth and eyes, particle of glitches began to come out of the body. Cyclops and Pibby then began to run from the boy, trying to escape him.
As the duo are trying to find the exit, the glitch then came out from the food booths with more people who seems to be infected like the boy. The duo then dodged the infected trying to grab them. Cyclops managed to plow through most of the infected, while Pibby narrowly dodges the grasp of a two teenagers, a boy with a green t-shirt with red pants, a girl with a orange sweater and a red skirt, and a brown dog with black spots. They managed to find the exit, with a van in from of them. The van is colored blue with green, with orange flowers, and the words 'The Mystery Machine' written in orange at the end of the van. Cyclops then shouted "Quick Pibby, come towards me. I'll put you the passenger seat. I hope I can hotwire this fast enough to drive us out of here" Pibby then went near to Cyclops, and he grabbed Pibby grabbed the handle to find out that the door is unlocked, and the keys are in the ignition. Cyclops then thought to himself 'Thank god, the keys are in the ignition, I don't even know what wires to connect to each other.' As Cyclops put Pibby in the passenger seat, putting on her seatbelt, he sat down on the driver seat, closed the door, and turn on the ignition. The car stuttered for a bit before working properly. After the car started running, Cyclops then begins to drive away from the circus to get away from the glitch and the infected ones.
Cyclops put his head out and looked back to make sure that they got away from the glitch, to see that the glitch seems to just be pouring out from the circus. "Ok, we got away from it. I think we are safe for now." Said Cyclops putting his head back to focus on driving. Pibby was scared saying "How did it followed us here? The ground didn't shake just like in my home." Cyclops thought about it for a while, then came to a theory. "I believe the reason for that is either the glitch can travel quietly across dimension, or the glitch already came here." Said Cyclops as he focused on driving. Both of them then felt a bit scared realizing that there is a great chance that the glitch made it in this dimension. "Well either way, we can't stay here. We need to leave this dimension now." Said Pibby. Cyclops agreed with Pibby idea and was about to use the remote, but Pibby then shouted "Wait shouldn't I hold onto your hand in order to travel with you." Cyclops then replied "Well yes, what you said is true, but we can't keep running forever to we need to have a vehicle that can help us to get away from the glitch and beside from what my friend Benny said that if I use the remote in a vehicle, I can be teleported with the vehicle and anyone in the vehicle will also be teleported with the user. Pibby looked at Cyclops in disbelief, but then sigh and said "Well, I hope your friend is right on what he said." Cyclops then nodded and pushed the button, teleporting the duo with van into another dimension.
In a big city, a hero named Alpha Man and his sidekick Alloy Boy watch the city from a building. They are making sure that everything is doing alright for the citizens, and that no evil is lurking. So far, everything seems to be peaceful, until a bright light flashed from the sky and a van came out of the light. Alpha Man and Alloy Boy were surprised by what just happened, but then they heard screaming from the van. Then they saw a girl being thrown onto the roof of a nearby building as the van fell down. Alpha Man then fly down to the van to save whoever was inside the van. He managed to stopped the van, and then placed the van carefully down on its wheel. He then said "Hello there, is everyone ok in there." Then man with a helmet with horns then came out of the van, looking surprised that this man saved him. "Yeah, I'm ok, but can you get me onto that building? I tossed my friend on that building so that she doesn't get hurt with me in the van. Alpha Man then nodded, grabbed the man and fly towards the building.
On top of the building, Pibby was surprised when Cyclops threw her from the van, but do to the van falling down from the building, she guesses that it is for the best. "Golly, are you ok there?" Asked a voice. Pibby then looked behind her to to see a boy with a concerned look on his face. She then see a man holding Cyclops like a dame fly towards them. "Cyclops, you're ok!" Yelled Pibby. The boy then looked behind him to see the two men coming towards them. "Wowee, that was impressive Alpha Man. You managed to stop that van all by yourself. Said the boy. "That is right, Alloy Boy. If you train more harder, then you will then get your power, and become amazing like me." Said Alpha Man as he put Cyclops down. Cyclops and Pibby then ran into each other, hugging each other. After hugging for a while, they broke off their hug and turned towards the super duo. "Thank you so much for saving me, from a horrible fate. We didn't know that this would happen to us." Said Cyclops. "You are very welcome. Now tell me who are you two, what are you doing here, and why are you here?" Asked Alpha Man. Cyclops then replied "Well my name is Cyclops, and this girl is Pibby. We got here by using an Inter-dimensional teleporter, and we are here because we are in desperate need of help with something that is affecting our world." Alpha Man nodded then asked "I see, then how could we help you with your problem?"
Cyclops then replied happily, "I am glad you asked that question. All we need is to find the smartest person in your world that might know about Inter-dimensional travels." Alpha Man then thought about that question for a while, then came up with an solution. "Well I do know, a famous scientist that is visiting a laboratory nearby. He did some research on inter-dimensional travel. He is the smartest man in this world, so he might be able to help you." Both Cyclops and Pibby smiled with excitement relief that there is someone here that might help them. "That is great news, can you take us to please?" Asked Pibby hoping Alpha Man would take them there. Alpha man then said "Oh course you can, I'll fly up ahead to let the scientist know about you coming to the lab. You can drive there in your van. Alloy Boy, would you please ride with them, and guide them to the lab?" Alloy Boy then replied "Why sure thing Alpha Man. Come on friends, let's go to the lab." As Alpha Man flew to the lab, Beta Boy then ran towards to the fire escape walking down it, with Cyclops and Pibby following him. As the duo follows the sidekick, Pibby then whispered making sure Alloy Boy didn't hear her "Should we really trust them? They might be sick like the last people we have met." Cyclops replied "Well of course we can trust them they are heroes, they won't hurt us. And besides, if they were sick, they would have attacked us on sight, and look the same as the ones we have encountered." Pibby then nodded and asked "Ok, but what are heroes?" Cyclops then thought about it for while and replied "Well, I think you should ask the boy that question, because I think he can explain it more better then me."
As they exit the fire escape and went into the van, Cyclops then begins to drive, with Alloy Boy telling him where to turn. After a couple of minutes of driving, Pibby then asked "So Mister uhhh..." "You can call me Alloy Boy. Don't tell Alpha Man this, my actual name is Benny." Cyclops mind stopped for a while due to Alloy Boy's real name, due to it being similar to his late friend. "Well Alloy Boy, I was wondering, if you can tell me what is a hero." Asked Pibby. Alloy Boy then grinned so large that Cyclops could have swear he heard Alloy Boy's bones break. "Why a hero is the greatest person who ever lived. A hero is someone who goes out of their way, to make sure that everyone is safe. There are many heroes in my world, including Alpha Man. I used to believe that there are heroes across the dimensions, but now that you two are here, that fantasy is now a reality."Pibby is fascinated by what Alloy Boy said, and asked "Can you tell me more about heroes, when we get to the lab?" "Of course, I will tell you more, we are almost there, just keep going straight and we will be there." Alloy Boy happily replied. As they kept driving, they eventually made it to the lab, with Alpha Man, and the scientist waiting for them their.
"Well hello there, my name is Professor Flynt. I have been waiting for you two please come in." The scientist said welcoming Pibby and Cyclops. "Why thank you, but is it ok if it can just be you, me, and Alpha Man talking about our problem." Cyclops asked. "Well that depends if your friend is ok with that. Alpha Man said. "Oh that is fine with me, I want to learn more about heroes from Alloy Boy" Pibby said. "Well ok then, just be safe you two, and make sure the kid doesn't get lost. The city is big, and a kid like her can't be all by herself." Flynt said. Alloy Boy and Pibby then nodded and walk somewhere else to talk more while the others then walked into the lab. "So mister can you tell me how did you and your friend managed to get here. Does it involves your van? Asked Flynt. Cyclops replied "Well no, we used this remote to teleport, and we were using the van when I used the remote." "Fascinating, can you tell me more about this remote." Asked Flynt. "Well actually, with the exception of these notes I have in my pocket. The only things I know about this remote is that it only takes you to a random place, it won't take you back to the last dimension and from what you saw Alpha Man, it looks like it would teleport us into random place, possibly dangerous ones. Both Alpha Man and Flynt are very interested with what Cyclops said. Flynt then asked "Well do you mind if I can see the notes and remote, so I can study it and maybe modify it to make it more safer for you. "Sure, but I must ask, do you know anything about a blob creature that look like a glitch?" Cyclops said as he handed the notes and remote to Flynt. Flynt then said "No sorry, I only now about dimensional travel, but not about the dimensions themselves. Now if you don't mind me gentlemen, I need to study this. Flynt then walked away to study, leaving the hero and Cyclops alone.
"From what you said, I believe that glitch like blob is the problem you were talking about." Alpha Man said. "You are right, the glitch is the reason me and my friend left our world. We didn't want to but after seeing what it did to others, we didn't want to meet the same fate." Cyclops said. Alpha Man was about to asked what the glitch did to other people, until a earthquake shook the building. "What was that? There shouldn't be an earthquake in this city." Said Flynt running out of the research lab. "That is the glitch, it always shake the ground whenever it appears." Cyclops shouted. He then realized that Pibby and Alloy Boy are still out there in the city. "Alpha Man, my friend is still out there with your sidekick. We need to bring them here, so we can get out of here." "Ok, I'll alert every heroes to be alert of this glitch you told me about." Alpha Man said. "Good, but make sure that they never make contact with the glitch. Trust me, it's for the best if they attack from a distance." Said Cyclops getting ready to save Pibby. Alpha Man nodded alerting every heroes about what is happening and letting them know about not making contact with them. "Ok, Cyclops and I will go out and find his friend and Alloy Boy. Flynt stay here and finish modifying the remote, so that we can use it." Said Alpha Man. Flynt then nodded and ran back into the research lab, only to run back to the duo with some sort of gloves, handing them to the hero. Here are some electro gloves for you Alpha man. These were meant to be used for the Slime Man, but I guess you can use it for the glitch." Flynt said.
Alpha Man nodded, put on the gloves, grabbed Cyclops and flew out of the lab, in the direction of where Pibby and Alloy Boy went. As they were flying they saw the glitch attacking some of the building, tearing them down. Cyclops then spotted the two kids running to the lab in a panic. "There! They are right there!" Cyclops shouted pointing to the kids. Alpha Man looked at where Cyclops was pointing and flew towards the kids. "Cyclops. You are safe." Pibby said running towards him hugging his leg. "Gee Willakers, Alpha Man. What is going on? We were just talking about on how you are training to become a hero, until the ground shocked. Pibby seems to know something, because she grabbed my hand and begged me to run back to the lab." Ask Beta Boy "The problem our visitors were having is here. We need to head back to the lab now." Said Alpha Man. But then there was a crash and the four of them saw the glitch crashing through a wall of a building. Alpha Man then activated his gloves, and shouted "Alloy Boy! Go with Cyclops and his friend back to the lab, I'll hold this thing back!" Alpha Man then fly forward towards the glitch attacking it with his laser eyes. Cyclops then shouted "No don't get to close, those glove won't help you! Get away from it!" But it didn't matter, after shooting his laser at the glitch, Alpha Man then tried to punch the glitch, only for it to grab ahold of his arm, and began to consume him. Alpha Man then screamed trying to fly away from the glitch, but it is holding onto him tightly. Alloy Boy looked at the tragedy in horror, seeing his mentor being eaten alive. Cyclops then grabbed him and Pibby and ran away from the glitch to the lab.
They managed to get to the lab, only to see it barricade from the inside. A door was then unlocked with Flynt's voice appearing from the intercom saying "Quick get in now." The trio then went into the lab, having the sort behind him locked. Flynt then ran towards the trio urging them to come with him. As they ran towards the research lab, Alloy Boy then said "I can't believe it. My hero. Gone. Right before my own eyes." "It's ok, the same thing happened to our friends, we can talk about it later, we just need to get out of here now." Cyclops said. Flynt look at them in shock realizing that Alpha Man must have lost his fight against the glitch. As they made it into the research lab, they heard a bang coming outside. From the securities cameras, they saw glitch is here and is trying to get into the building. Flynt grabbed the remote and notes that Cyclops gave him, and returned it to him. "Here, I took the liberty of modifying it for you. But I didn't have enough time to fully modified it. Just enough for it so that you won't fall from the sky to your demise when you use it." Cyclops put the notes in his pocketed, and then looked the remote. It looked the same, but he could tell that Flynt did some improvements on it. "That is ok, you did all that's you can. Now we just need to get out of here." Cyclops said. "If we can make it to the parking lot. We can take your van with us." Flynt said as he grabbed some short of laser gun. The gang then followed Flynt into the lab.
They managed to get into the parking lab and find the the van. They were about to enter the van, when the glitch managed to break through the wall. The glitch then rushed in trying to get the gang. Flynt then shoot at the glitch drawing it back. "I'll try to hold this monstrous thing away from you, just get out of here! Alloy Boy, go with them, so that you can become a hero and save us!" Flynt yelled as he walked towards the glitch shooting at it. Alloy Boy have never been scared in his life, but he obeyed to Flynt command and got into the van. As the trio managed to get into the van just as the glitch managed to grab hold onto Flynt. Flynt screamed in anger and pain while he kept shooting, despite being consumed by the glitch. "Sorry Alloy Boy, but you need to come with us. It's not much like you have a choice" Cyclops said in the driver seat. He then push the remote, and then the van teleported away with the trio to another dimension. Flynt then saw the the van teleported away and stopped shooting. "Godspeed, my friends. You are now probably the universes only hope in fighting against this thing" Flynt said. After saying that, the glitch begins to consume him, but the scientist accepts this fate knowing that he manage to help the heroes, even to the end of his days. He then closed his eyes, and smiled just as the glitch covered his entire body.
End of Chapter 2.
So our friends managed to escape the glitch not once, but twice. But they managed to get an escape vehicle, and a new friend to help them.
(Edited replace Beta Boy to Alloy Boy)
In the next chapter, we are going to see our friends in the Stone Age and then in a ruined city only to see that the glitch was here. They then were asked by a well dressed cat to drive to scientist expecting all of them, and wanting to reveal something big to them. So what is this big thing the scientist want to show them, find out by reading the next chapter.
