Somewhere near Bedrock, the van managed to be teleported safely with our heroes. After recovering from the attacked, Cyclops asked "Is everyone alright?" Alloy Boy and Pibby both said yes, assuring that they are all safe. They all got outside trying to take a breather, and look around to see where they are. "Where are we?" Pibby asked. "It looks like we are in some sort of prehistoric era." Cyclops replied. Pibby looked confused, then asked "What is the prehistoric era." Cyclops and Alloy Boy look at each other wondering why Pibby doesn't know about prehistoric history, then Cyclops remember that Pibby only learned on kindergarten stuff like one plus one. "Well if we rest now, I can tell you about it if that is ok with you two." Cyclops said. Pibby nodded happily, due to her learning something new. But Alloy Boy was just sitting down by the side of the van sad. Pibby and Cyclops then remembered what happened at his dimension. They both went to him, with Cyclops asking if he is alright. "No I am not alright. I just saw my mentor dy- being consumed by that thing." Alloy boy said, but he stopped himself from saying dying in front of Pibby. "I don't know what to do now. Flynt said that I have to be a hero now. I don't even now what to do now." Alloy Boy said. Cyclops and Pibby put their hand on the sidekick's back, and then Cyclops remembered about the other heroes that Alpha Man have alerted about the glitch. He knew that there might be a chance the heroes are eaten alive by the glitch, but he have to make the sidekick happy. "Hey now, not everything will be bad. I remember just before me and your mentor left the lab. He have alerted the other heroes about the glitch, so there is a chance that they might fight it off." Cyclops said, with only 'the heroes fighting back' part being a lie. Alloy Boy then looked up in surprised, then grinned and happily said "Of course, the other heroes. I totally forgot about them. Maybe everything will be alright. The heroes will save the day." Pibby then said "Oh yeah. The heroes will save the day. From what you told you me about heroes there is a chance the glitch maybe defeated." As the two kids were talking about the heroes fighting off the glitch, they didn't noticed Cyclops look of guilt, knowing that what he said about the heroes is a lie. 'Better a lie, then shattering their hopes.' Cyclops thought.
So after resting for a while and telling Pibby about the prehistoric era, cave people and dinosaurs (which reminds Pibby of Danny the Dinosaur), they got up and start their plan on what they should do. "Ok I'll stay here and see what is in this van, since we didn't get a chance due to the chases. I am trusting you two go to this Bedrock place to look for either food or help." Cyclops said. Pibby and Alloy Boy both nodded and began walking towards Bedrock. They managed to get to the entrance of the city, Alloy Boy told Pibby that he will handle everything, and that Pibby don't get involved as she is a bit too young to handle business. She agreed and they begin to walk into the town. As they walked through the town, they managed to smell and follow the scent of something very delicious. They followed the smell into the backyard of someone's house. "Oh ho, I see that someone likes my cooking." Said the caveman cooking a huge rib. Pibby and Alloy Boy then looked at the meat he is cooking with hunger. "Hehehe, I'll take that as yes." The caveman said. They then both snapped out of it, and Alloy Boy asked "Hello there, is this house really a great place to sleep in" "Oh, you're gonna love it here. The caveman replied, while the two look around the place. "By the way, what are both of yours names? My name is Fred Flintstone." Fred asked. "I am uhh Benny, and this here is Pibby." Alloy Boy replied a bit hesitant about revealing his true name. Fred then said "Well then, why not I show you two around. This meat may needs to cook for a while." Pibby and Alloy Boy looked at each other, then nodded to Fred, accepting his offer. Fred then took the two to show them around Bedrock.
Meanwhile, as Cyclops just finished searching the van, he found a couple of boxes called Scooby Snacks, which seems to be a snack for both humans and animals. He also found a license of the person who previously owned this van. It was the same boy who He and Pibby first encountered when they first used the remote. He then remembered about how they escaped the glitch by the credits. He then thought 'I wonder what was that about. Why did we ended up in the credits? That wouldn't happen in the real world unless it's a--' He stopped mid thought realizing that he maybe used the remote to teleport them out of harm and that the credits might be just a coincidence. Cyclops then thought what is taking Pibby and Alloy Boy so long. Meanwhile in Bedrock, Fred finished his tour of his town to the duo by taking them to where he worked. "Ok, why not you two stay here for a while, and I'll go ask my boss if I can show you two what we do here." Fred asked. Both of them said yes and Fred went to his boss about his request. While they wait, Pibby asked "Should we be heading back to the van? Cyclops might be worried about us." Alloy Boy then replied "Don't worry, we will be back soon. We are just looking around to see if we can get help, and we will then get help." As Alloy Boy assured Pibby, Fred then ran up a dinosaur and beckons the two to see what he does. While he begins to do his work, Pibby and Alloy Boy felt a rumble in the ground. After working for while, Fred then asked "What do you think?" The duo both gave a thumbs up, and Fred is happy with the results. He then said "Yabba Dabba Doo.", as he slide down the dinosaur tale, only to scream and tried to climb back up as the glitch begins to consumed him. Pibby and Alloy Boy looked in terror on what just happened. As they were about to run away, Fred then came out of the glitch with a permanent grin and white eyes, but he is not alone. There were other people from different dimensions that are infected like Fred, and the group of kids with the dog. They then ran away at the sight of the infected, trying not to become like them. As they ran, they heard a engine roar, and saw the van with Cyclops riding it. "There you guys are, I am glad to see you two. I was just finishing checking the van, but then I saw the glitch was about to come near me, so I got in the van and drove here" said Cyclops relieve that Pibby and Alloy Boy are safe. "Well we need to get out of here! The glitch is here!" Alloy Boy yelled pointing at the glitch and the infected. Cyclops looked in shock, and opened the back doors letting the the duo in. As they got in, Cyclops then wasted no time in using the remote, teleporting them to another dimension.
The van was then teleported in a parking lot of another city at night. The trio got out of the van, and looked around. The city seems to look like it has been attacked by something big. "Golly gee, what happened here?" Alloy boy asked. "I don't know, but we should be alert in case something attacked us" Cyclops replied. "Excuse, you weirdos." A voice cried out. The trio turned to see an grey anthropomorphic cat wearing a red dress, red heels, and a pearl necklace. "I am glad there is someone who have at least half a brain. I need you three weirdos to take me somewhere and I am not taking no for an answer." Said the cat. The trio look at the cat and then Cyclops said "Can we talk about this for a while." The cat scoffed, but nodded her head. The trio got in a huddle, and discussed about her demand. "Do we have to obey her command? She doesn't seem like the nice kind of person." Alloy Boy asked. "Well, we do not have a choice. There might be a chance she has goons around this city that would attacked us if we say no." Cyclops replied. After talking for a few minutes, the trio broke their huddle, and faced the cat. "After talking for a while we will take you to where need to go. But on one condition." Cyclops said. The cat scoffed at the man's request, but she needs to head to her destination, so she said "Ok, and what is you special condition?" Cyclops then said "While I drive, you need to tell us about what has happened to this place." The cat thought about it for a while, and begrudgingly agreed to his request. The four then got into the van and Cyclops began to drive.
"So where are we going, and where it is?" Cyclops asked. "I am going to my friend's place. He is a annoying scientist, so he might be at his dumb mansion, just go straight, and go right at the last stoplight." Cyclops winced at the cat's words, due to Pibby being with them. "Ok, now that I know where to go, it is time to hold you end of the deal." Cyclops said. The cat groans, but begrudgingly told them what had happened to the city. This city used to be more lively, but then it got attacked it some weird blob. The citizens were scared, but then the cat's friends managed to make some weapons that could drive out the blob, but not completely destroy it. He then had his robots to give out to every citizens in the city. With the new weapons, they managed to drive out the blob. After fighting it back for a while, the blob then turned back and disappeared into thin air. While the blob maybe gone, but the damaged remains. The city no longer have any laws, and every criminal is now taking the city as theirs. The cat have been living in her vacation house away from the city until a phone call from her friend telling her to come, so that he can show her something. She drove in her car to the city, but a group of thieves attacked her, so she had to run away, which led to her meeting the trio.
After she finished her story, she noticed that the trio had their eyes widen from her story, and asked "What? Is there something on my face?" "No, it is just that we had encountered the blob ourselves, but we called it the glitch." Cyclops replied. The cat then had her eyes widen, then quietly shouted "Wait, you three had encountered that thing?!" The trio nodded her heads and told her their encounter with the glitch, with Cyclops only telling some part of the story that seems appropriate to Pibby. Cyclops then told the cat of their plan on getting help from other dimensions, and asked if her friend can help them. "I supposed so, but I doubt he will help you with that." The cat said. "Well any help is better than no help." Pibby said. "By the way, my name is Alloy Boy, this is Pibby, and the man driving is Cyclops. What is your name?" Alloy Boy asked. The cat scoffed and said "My name is Melira, and don't you three forget it. And stopped the car now, we are here." Cyclops then stopped the van, and the trio looked at amazement at the mansion. It looks like an original rich man mansion, but with some technology attached to it. The four began to get out of the van, only for the van to be lifted by some unknown force and taken somewhere in the mansion backyard. The trio looked in shocked, but Melira said that her friend made some device that would take the vehicle and put it somewhere safe. The trio calmed down and began walking towards the front door, with Melira. Melira then knocked on the door. More like banged on the door, yelling "Hey, Rudy! I am here! Now open the door now! I am freezing my butt out here!" The trio flinched at Melira tone, and choice of words. A camera then came out of the side of the door looking at the four. After observing the four for a while, a voice came out saying "Oooh come in, come in, my dear Melira. And take those three with you. They do not seems to be from this world." Melira was about to protest about Rudy request, but the camera reeled back in, and the door made a click, hinting that it is now unlocked. Melira put her hand on her face groaning. "This better be worth it." Melira groaned. The four then entered the mansion with a robot beckoning the group to follow it.
As they are following the robot, the trio looked around to see a picture of a tall lanky cheetah in a suit. After following the robot for a while, they have arrived in front of set of double doors. As they enter the doors, they were surprised on the amount of technology and notes scattered around of lab. The cheetah then came out greeting Melira first then the trio. The cheetah was wearing black jeans with a lab coat that have a couple of stains. The cheetah looks like he haven't slept in days. "Hello there, from what Melira said, my name is Rudy. It is so nice to meet people from different dimensions." Rudy said. The trio are weirded out, and a bit surprised by Rudy and his knowledge about them not being from here. "You may be wondering why I know you are not from here. For one, you three are hairless primates, and are in different shapes. And I also saw you teleported here from one of my cameras I put around the city." Rudy said in a quick manner. The trio and Melira were surprised on Rudy confession on having cameras placed around the city. "Ummm, anyway. Why did you bring me here, and why do you want to meet these three?" Melira asked. "Oh, well to answer both of your questions, I have brought you all here to show you something. I even brought in those two kids you so desperately hate, but I'll introduce you to them later." Rudy said. Melira then growled in anger, hinting that Melira didn't like those kids. "So what is it that you want to show us?" Alloy Boy asked. Rudy then gleefully beckons the four to follow him into his theater room. As they walked into the room, Rudy then asked them to take a seat. As they took their seat, Rudy then walked to the projectionist room saying that the videos he will show might change their perspective on the world. "So what could the videos contains, that might change our perspective?" Alloy Boy asked. "I don't know but I have a bad feeling about it." Cyclops replied. The projector then turned on and the four begins to watch. The videos they saw schooled them to their very core. It was an episode of their own show.
One show reveals Alpha Man and Alloy Boy fight villains, another shows the two dog kids going on adventures with Melira being the villain, another reveal Pibby and her friends learning about sharing, and the last one shocked everyone. The last one shows Cyclops being with his old friends, looking for the girl. It shows them what Cyclops used to be, a bitter man that doesn't care about his friends feelings. After seeing the videos, Cyclops yelled "What is this?! Where did you get this?!" Rudy then laugh manically and said "After the static attacked the city, I have managed to capture those who have been corrupted by it, and I have researched their bodies and mind. After many months of research I have managed to make a tablet that shows what each show your from. Speaking of show, I have found out that we are actually cartoons shows made for the entertainment of those who made us. And with this remote my robot took from the helmet guy while he wasn't looking, I will managed to go into different dimensions, gather allies to join my army, and takes over the dimensions." Rudy laugh maniacally, with the four looking at him in shocked, with Cyclops realizing that the remote is gone. "But what about those dumb kids?" Melira asked. "Oh, those kids. I'll just lie to them saying that what I am doing is for the greater good. After my plan succeeds, I'll just put them in random dimension to fend for themselves. Speaking of putting them in random places. It's time for four to go too." Replied Rudy. "But why me?" Melira asked. "For too long you have treated me like trash, and ditched me whenever things don't look at your way. It's payback time!" Replied Rudy as he pushed a button. When he pushed a button, it teleported the four far away from the mansion. After that he then laughed maniacally, only to be interrupted by a knock. He then calms down and walk to the door, opening it to reveal the two dogs, one boy, and one girl. "Excuse me where is the three new friends you told us about, Mr. Rudy?" Asked the boy. Rudy laugh, and said "Well, they have to go somewhere to do something, but they'll come back soon, Jane, and John." Jane and John then smiled, not knowing of Rudy's plan.
This is end of chapter 3.
So the gang found out about their lives, and are betrayed by Rudy, along with Melira who is revealed to be a villain.
In the next chapter, the trio joined forces with Melira, and attacked Rudy dimension to get the remote and van back, but in the process Pibby learned about red water, and the hard truth of life and death.
