Act 1: Held Prisoner

"Ugh, c'mon! Just scrub off already!" Cayde yelled as the scene then shows him scrubbing what seemed to be some type of substance on the wall of a kitchen.

Cayde continued to scrub the wall but no avail the the smudged red substance wouldn't come off. Sighing to himself Cayde turned around and then looked up in surprise.

"Oh hey! I didn't see you there!" Cayde said waving towards the viewers. "Your probably wondering what's going on right now. Don't you? Well as you can see..' Cayde then showed off his body as a noticeable apron was on him along with yellow rubber gloves with a blue sponge in hand, a soapy bucket of water with a mop. "I'm cleaning." He said as he then put the sponge on the counter.

"Now your probably thinking "But Cayde, why are you cleaning a kitchen knowing good and well your in the middle of space?" Well my fellow viewer I have an answer to your question." He said taking off the rubber gloves.

"It all started just a few mins ago..."

*8 Minutes Earlier..*

"Ugh...My head." Cayde first thought as he felt his conscious start to come to. At this point he was starting to think it was the second time he woke up considering what happened. But he decided to save the questions for later as he felt his eyes start open and regain focus faster this time thankfully, but when he did open them he felt that he was tied up on the floor seeing as he was still on the giant purple like pink rug.

Cayde then sat up as he noticed his hands and legs were tied together like he was going roasted on a fire out in the wild.

"Okay, this is new. Never had this happen to me before..Wait what?"

Cayde then noticed his surroundings. Cayde was in what looked like to be a box of pillows with three rows stacked in a straight line in front of him. If you can't guess, it looked like a jail made out of pillows.

"How is this thing even standing?" Cayde asked as he looked around the soft jail.

Cayde then scooted over to the side of soft jail and and decided to nudge it to see if it would fall but surprisingly it was sturdy enough to hold from the slight jab.

"Wow it's even strong enough with stand a good jab, whoever built this had some skill like no other.." Cayde as he praised the crafter.

Deciding to get a good view of where he was Cayde realized that he was still in the same room to whoever knocked him out but they left him on the floor as the noticeable big purple like pink rug was visible underneath him. He scooted over to the jail like window and looked through it, the room looked a whole lot better from when he last saw it. The room was much cleaner as the books were placed back on their proper shelf as all the glass was now picked and cleaned making it look like the room never had an accident to begin with.

"Man, someone can really tide up the place." Cayde said as he looked around the room one more time before putting his head down to let his neck rest from having strained due to the current position he was in at the moment.

Then it was complete silence. The room seemed to be barren of life as no noise was made or heard. The only sound that Cayde could hear was the constant ringing in his ears which it even more eerie than it already was. The room felt like it was abandoned as f he was the only one in it, he felt his stomach start to turn slowly as the more time pass the more his body started to feel uneasy with the silence.

However, that moment was interrupted when he heard a humming sound of a vacuum cleaner. Cayde then raised his head up one more time to see the rumba that he had met that called him the so called "intruder" before he fell unconscious. It was cleaning the room as it went around in a few circles in the same before it decided to move onto the other side of the room. Taking this opportunity Cayde then tried to grab it's attention.

"Psst! Psst! Hey! Rumbi!" Cayde called out in loud whisper successfully grabbing the small robots attention as it rolled over towards him.

"Hey bud! What's up? Feeling any better?"

The rumba stared at him before it started up it's security alarm.

"INTRUDER!"

"What?! No! Shh! Shh!" Cayde said as he tried to silence the little robot.

This went on for a few seconds before the rumba had finally decided to stop it's alarm as it returned to it's daily job of cleaning as it drove away from the pillow jail out of Cayde's sight. Cayde then put his head down in frustration, it was official. he was stuck in the depths of outer space and to no clue of how to get home. Sighing to himself Cayde shook his head in slight irritation.

But that moment ,however, was soon interrupted when Cayde hear faint like footsteps approach the jail. Growing curios Cayde tried to sit up but then once again realized that he was tied up and couldn't really do anything as of the moment. Then, just as he was distracted with the rope he noticed a small shadow cast over him. Turning towards it Cayde was then greeted by what seemed a little girl, who as the most seemed no older then ten.

The girl seemed to be a toddler, but the weirdest part was she seemed to be carrying what looked like parasol or umbrella that was colored blue with yellow stars decorated on it. She had on a simple purple coat with a yellow cape tied around her neck with the largest keyhold dangling from her coat. She wore what seemed to be white sweat pants and brown boots and to "top" it all of she wore a purple top hat with a yellow band that went around the hat.

Cayde and the girl stared at each other for what seemed like eternity but then Cayde finally realized who exactly who he staring at.

It was Hat Kid. The Hat Kid! And she was standing right in front of him! Cayde must have dozed off due to shock because his thought's were interrupted by Hat Kid poking him with her umbrella trying to grab his attention.

"Uh? Hi?" Cayde said as he started up a conversation. But he was greeted with silence the next thing after. and not wanting to stall any longer he decided to continue.

"So this has to be a big misunderstanding. You see I just so happened to have accidentally woke up here on your ship." Cayde chuckled nervously as the toddler stared down at him.

"I'm telling the truth! Honest!" Cayde said in hope of the toddler would believe him.

But Hat Kid wasn't buying as she gave him an eye roll with an annoyed look to top it off. Funny thing is how she looks so young but turns out to have the mindset of a teenager.

"You know.." Cayde started off grabbing her attention. "Your quiet the artist. You know having to build a jail out of pillows and not only that able to keep it sturdy and strong enough from any normal pillow fort. A normal jab would instantly knock it down let alone trying to set one up with something to support it."

Hat Kid then turned towards with a big smile as her eyes seemed to sparkle in delight at the praise she just received.

"Heh you know, you act all tough and intimidating but in the end you still act like any normal kid." Cayde said as he chuckled to himself at her little action to his praise.

Hat Kid then frowned as she stared back down at her prisoner. seeing as if he wasn't getting no where else he then decided to get serious.

"Okay, look. I know you won't believe me and won't expect you to believe me. But believe me, I really did just wake up here on your ship and I have no clue to how I did." Cayde said as his tone was almost sad making the toddler expression slowly start to fade. "Please, I have no idea where am and how I got here, all I now is that i'm stranded out in the middle of space in having no type of way home and I really don't want to be tossed out in the middle of space just to have life end in a flash."

Cayde stared into Hat Kids eyes as he continued.

"So..is there anything I can do to make you trust me enough to point where we could like each other?" Cayde asked with genuine tone.

Hat Kid stared at her captive prisoner as she then smiled cheerfully before she walked up pillow like bar and tapped it with her umbrella making the entire pillow ail fall onto Cayde.

'H-Hey! What was that for?!' Cayde yelled from underneath the pillows.

Hat Kid then started removing the pillows and came face to face with an irritated look on Cayde's face.

"Really?"

Hat Kid nodded with a smile as she walked up in front of him and started to untie the rope that kept Cayde bound. She then threw away the jump rope aside and left the room.

"Wait she had me tied up with jump rope?" Cayde said as he stood up from his captive position as then stretched feeling the bones in his back pop due to the uncomfortable position he was in for so long.

"Ah..That's more like it." Cayde popping a few more of his bones as Hat Kid then returned with something in hand other than her umbrella.

"Huh? What'cha got there..." Cayde voice then died down at what he was seeing before him.

"Is..this a maid's apron?" Cayde asked as Hat Kid then pulled out what seemed to be cleaning supplies as she hand them all to Cayde as he picked them all up in confusion. Just before he could ask what was going on, he felt a tug at his pant leg, signaling him to follow her. He followed her up the ramp to some blue salon style like doors that lead into to a kitchen. The kitchen itself seemed like any ordinary house kitchen to the person eye, however...

"What the...?!" Cayde yelled out in shock as he stared at the site before him.

The kitchen was utter DISASTER. There were was so many different type's of liquids and smashed food all over the place as it covered the wall, floor, and hell even the ceiling for that matter! There was dirty dishes that were piled in the sink that looked utterly hideous and trash that was billing over and littered the floor as some noticeable flies were seen swarming around it. Cayde slowly turned towards the infant next to him as he realized what she wanted him to do.

"Wait wait wait wait! Your telling me you want to do this?!" Cayde exclaimed as the nine year old nodded as she pointed towards the.."kitchen".

"What the hell?! Why does it look like a battlefield in here?!" Cayde exclaimed as Hat Kid then started whistling, hands tied behind her back as she looked away raising on her tippy toes.

Cayde's eye twitched as he stared the toddler.

"So let me get this straight you want me to do..this?!" Cayde pointed towards the battlefield of a kitchen.

Hat Kid nodded as she gave him an innocent smile.

" What?! Dude it looked like you just let this place rot itself out on day one! Now, I know I don't clean everyday like i'm suppose to but I at least know when to do it! Your telling me you live like this?!"

Hat Kid then turned away in embarrassment as a pink stained her cheeks. Cayde groaned as he then looked back towards the kitchen, he REALLY didn't want to clean especially THIS mess. But he had to in order to prove to Hat Kid that he could be trusted and hopefully friend he had to do it. Sighing to himself one last time Cayde sat down the cleaning equipment as then took off his hat and handed it to her.

"Hold this real quick." He said putting it in her hands.

Hat Kid did as she was told and looked up to him in confusion only to see him take off his hoodie. He then grabbed his hat and placed back on his head and threw his hoodie into the little girls arms as she still had them out from holding his hat.

"Hold onto to that for me will ya, while I deal with your...battle zone." Cayde said as he put on the apron and grabbed the supplies as Hat Kid watched the teenage boy get to work. But before she left she looked down at his hoodie and then back up to him before she left the area.

*Present Time*

"And now that your all caught up! You can now see why i'm like this." Cayde said as turned away from the camera going back to his cleaning duty.

While he was distracted cleaning, Hat Kid had then re-entered the room of the kitchen to what seemed to be a telescope. She placed down wiping her forehead due to the weight of it but when she turned towards the kitchen er eyes widened as a gasp escaped her mouth. The kitchen was spotless! The dishes were cleaned and set to dry, the trash was cleaned up and set a side for someone to take it out as a new trash bag was seen in the trashcan , and the splatted messes were all gone! In face everything, looked as if it was brand new from the start!

Hat Kid then turned towards the new passenger she had aboard her ship as seen Cayde finish cleaning her microwave as closed it shut it wiping some sweat from his forehead as his hat was turned backwards so it wouldn't get in the way. When he turned around he found the small girl staring at him in awe.

"Oh hey bud! When did you get here?" Cayde asked as he turned his head, but then noticed the telescope next to her in the middle of the room. "Uh why do you have a telescope in here? There's no window?" He finished saying as he looked around to see if he missed a window, however, when he turned back..She was gone.

"Kid?" Cayde asked as he set his cleaning stuff and down and walked towards the middle of the room looking around. "Kid? Where are you?!" Cayde called out to the small infant but was only greeted with once again silence.

"Where did she go?" Cayde asked in slight worry. Even though she was an alien and the main character of his favorite videogame, she was still just a child. Thinking she left somewhere else in the ship Cayde started walking backwards but when he finally turned around he bumped right into the telescope she had left in the room as it started wobbling back and forth before it started to fall over.

"Oh sh..?!" Cayde then lunged for the scope as he reached his arm out as fast he could. Thankfully he caught it before hit the ground and stood it back up on it's hind legs. "Man, that was close."

Cayde then quickly finished his "chore" and left all the cleaning supplies in the kitchen as he left the room. He then walked down the ramp as he noticed the big window in the lobby facing a an earth like planet.

"Man, you really can get a good view of the place.." Cayde said as he stared at the world in front of him. However, his moment was soon ruined when he felt a tug on his pant leg making him look down. But when he did he jumped back at the pair of eyes staring back up at him.

"Gah! Jeez, kid don't surprise me like that! Keep this up and I'm putting a bell you." He said as he regained his composure.

Hat Kid just rolled her eyes as she signaled him to follow her, shrugging his shoulders knowing there's nothing else to do he followed behind her but only for a few seconds for when she stopped in front of the door to what seem to be her bedroom door. Confused to why she stopped Cayde looked down at her with concern as she turned and looked back up at him.

"So..now what?"

Hat Kid then pointed to her left which was Cayde's right as he followed her finger. When he did his eyes widened at what he saw. It seemed to be a little room just for him, only thing that was missing was an actual room. The so called "room" consisted of a beanbag chair with a pillow and blanket where his hoodie also seen laying across the chair.

Cayde turned back towards her to see her with arms crossed possibly waiting for a response. If she was, he then decided to give her his honest response.

"Thank you."

Hat Kid then jumped back a bit in surprise at the sudden tone in voice.

"Really. I'm not kidding. I was really expecting you to tie me back up in pillow stuffed jail cell again until you needed me for something else but..you actually went out your way to make me an actual room even tho it really isn't." Cayde looked down at her with a warm smile. "Thanks, kid."

Hat Kid had her mouth open in shock at what came out of his mouth. Cayde then started to laugh at her reaction.

'Hahaha! W-What weren't expecting that were you?" Cayde said in between laughs.

Hat Kid stared for a few more seconds before shaking her head and pointed towards his bed, making Cayde's laughter die down.

"Oh is it past your bed time already?" Cayde teased as a noticeable blush appeared on her face as she then pulled out her umbrella and pointed it at him with a threatening glare, but due to her embarrassed face it was kinda pointless.

"Alright, alright. I get the memo." Cayde said as he walked over to his bed chair and plopped down on it adjusting his pillow, then pulled the covers over him as he closed his eyes resting for the day.

Hat Kid stared at him for a good few mins just to make sure he didn't move or try anything suspicious but realizing that he was actually sleep she let her umbrella fall from it's threatening stance to ground as she then yawned herself as she finished her own work for the day. She then turned towards the door as it opened automatically letting her enter before it closed behind her as she entered her own bedroom to rest for the night.


The Next Day...

*WHOOOOP* *WHOOOP*

"GAH!" Cayde exclaimed as the sound of an alarm was heard going off in the lobby. but due to the sudden sound of the alarm Cayde had jumped from out of his bed right into the air and face planted as his legs rose in the air from impact before they too fell to the ground as his blanket floated gently to the ground landing on his head.

*WHOOOP* *WHOOOP*

*WHOOOP* *WHOOOP*

The alarm continued it's loud tamtrum throughout the ship as a familiar top hatted girl came from within the door to her bedroom towards the lobby, hanging a right up the ramp and pressing the TV screen that was making all the noise. Hat Kid yawned as she was once again awakened from her slumber thanks to the ship alarm and alarm clock. She then stretched her back loosing her small bones into proper working order before she smiled and jogged down the ramp towards her new passenger, lifting the blanket from off his head to see him face planted in the ground.

She giggled at the sight before replaced the blanket back onto his head. She stood and turned as she started walking only to, however, fall face first herself as she tripped over her something that was lying on the ground. Rubbing her head she looked back towards what made her fall only to realize it was her umbrella as it layed there on the ground. She gasped as she quickly stood and grabbed her weapon as she held it close.

How could she have left it? How come she never noticed she left here to begin with? Her train of thought was interrupted when she heard the sound of robotic...squealing? She turned towards to what only cold have made the noise to see Rumbi somehow upside down. In panic, Hat Kid then ran over to him but in the process accidentally threw her umbrella behind her as t landed on Cayde's bed. Cayde then himself started to wake up as he then sat from his current position having his blanket fall from his head and onto the umbrella covering it completely.

"Ah..Do you always wake up to that?" Cayde asked as he saw the toddler made her way back over to him with something on her mind but completely forgot when she heard his voice.

Turning towards him, she shook her acknowledging that this wasn't her "wake up" call.

"Right, that makes sense. So if isn't your alarm clock, what was it for?"

Hat Kid then walked up to Cayde and grabbed him by the sleeve and started to drag or more of walk him since he stood due to the sudden force of being pulled. The two walked their way up the ramp as Hat Kid returned towards the big TV and pressed with a "Boop" sound to which Cayde found adorable.

Just then the screen the showed q counter of some sorts to which to the left hand side showed the hourglass picture. Cayde looked at the screen and realized what she meant. It was apparently a tracker of some sorts to alert of her of a time piece had bee found.

"You mean just don't get alerted normally?" Cayde asked.

Hat Kid then nodded as she pulled by the sleeve again (This is probably going to be a daily thing) and dragged him back towards the kitchen. Once in the kitchen, Hat Kid then pointed towards the telescope she had left in there as a noticeable red light was blinking on and off.

"Oh guess that is normal." Cayde said as he nodded his head. "Wait a second, if there wasn't suppose to be a alarm for this why was there one to begin with?"

Hat Kid then looked back up at him with a smug look on her face as she then started walking forward making Cayde watch in awe at what just happened. She had pulled a prank on him. HIM. Cayde's eye twitched as noticeable comical like veins appeared on his forehead and on his head.

"You cheeky little..!"

Hat Kid then turned and stuck her tongue out him mocking him as he was almost was about to throw her out a window for doing so. Hat Kid then regained her composure as she then whistled at him to get his attention, she then pointed at him and then pointed at the floor before they stood their akwardly.

"What?"

Hat Kid then repeated this process as Cayde realized what she was trying to say.

"Oooohhhh. You want me to stay here while you go out?" Cayde asked as Hat Kid nodded with a smile.

"Ah, cool."

It was silent for moment before Cayde yelled.

"WWWWHHHHAAATTT?!" Cayde exclaimed as he startled the poor girl with his yell. "There's no way in heck i'm staying on this ship while you get to go out and have fun!"

Hat Kid then shook off the outburst as she glared at him, making him calm down the moment he saw her glare. It wasn't the fact that it was intimidating but the fact that she was trying hard to be scary made all his anger magically poof away.

"*Sigh* Fine I'll stay."

Hat Kid then smiled as she waved at him before she looked into the telescope and disappeared in a flash shocking him.

"Whoa! So that's how she does it!" Cayde said in excitement seeing how the girl transitions from place to place.

It had been a good few mins since Hat kid left and Cayde was currently doing a few workouts to pass the time but he was distracted he decided to stop and rest on the rug as he sprawled his body out as Rumbi passed by him doing it's daily routine.

"I'm sssoooo board." Cayde groaned as Rumbi passed by him a few times.

Cayde stay like this for a good while, but as time slowly passed by he felt his eyes start to become heavy. He then snapped them open as he lifted himself, then he all of sudden yawned stretching his back as he was still tired from the rude awakening he received not to long ago.

"Guess, I might as well head onto back to sleep." Cayde said as he walked over to his bed plopped back onto it not caring for cover but just the pillow.

However, when Cayde did plop down on the bean chair he felt something stab or more like poke him in the back making him lung forward just a bit.

"What the-? What was that?" He asked in confusion as he removed the the blanket covering the object. But when he did remove the blanket his eyes widened. Laying there in his bed was none other than Hat Kid's umbrella that she used for fighting.

Cayde stared at the umbrella in confusion. Why was her umbrella here of all places? Surely she couldn't left it here last night right? He clearly saw her still have when he fell asleep.

"Hold on a sec.." Cayde then thought back to when Hat Kid glared at him. Why didn't she pull out her umbrella in the first place?

Cayde's thought's were then pulled to an utter halt as Cayde then realized something.

"If her umbrella is here in the ship doesn't that mean that..." Cayde's eyes widened as he felt his heart stop. "Oh no...She left umbrella behind and that means..?! SHE CAN"T FIGHT WITHOUT IT!" Cayde exclaimed in shock.

Not wanting to waste anytime, Cayde put his hoodie as fast as possible and straightened forward his cap as he grabbed the toddlers umbrella and ran up the ramp back into the kitchen. Cayde then jogged up to the scope as he looked at with worry. What if something bad already happened to her? What if she was fighting for dear life without a weapon. He remembered how small her hands were and they could probably due so little against enemies not even her size.

Shaking off the thought, Cayde then looked back at the scope but before he could do anything he felt something bump into his foot. He looked down to see Rumbi glaring up at him.

"Look Rumbi, I know we didn't get along at first but I have to leave. If I don't your master going to be in serious trouble."

Cayde then looked back at the scope but not before looking back at Rumbi one last time saying. "So watch over the place while were gone!" Cayde said excitedly as he looked into the scope.

However, as soon as he did his whole world was then sucked right into the scope and the next thing he knew he was flying through space right towards the planet!

"WHAT THE HEEEEELLLLLL!" Cayde yelled as he soared down towards the planet entering the atmosphere...


"wwwwwWWWHHHHOOOOOOAAAAA!" Cayde yelled as he entered the planet.

He soared down at a very fast pace as he noticed an island that looked like it was completely run over but before he could question it, he saw that he was coming to landing quicker than he thought.

"Oh no! I'm gonna crash!" Cayde yelled but then he remembered something.

He remembered how Hat Kid would always land when falling from the sky but that was only because of videogame physics! But he was in videogame! Deciding to take this chance Cayde grew closer to what seemed like an little resort wit a brick like floor, he then front flipped and bent his knees as he braced for impact. When he landed, Cayde felt the not only him but the ground shake upon landing as he stay like that or a few seconds waiting for the pain to arrive...but it never came.

"It..doesn't hurt." Cayde said as he stood up straight and moved both his legs and feet to make sure they still functioned after the fall. And to his surprise, they moved just fine almost as if nothing had happened at all to begin with.

"Alright! I finally get to experience what videogame physics feel like!" Cayde said as he jumped and down before he turned towards the viewers and pumped his arm into the air with a fist almost similar to familiar red plumber from a different game...

However, when he landed back on his feet he heard what sounded like yell. Confused Cayde walked over to the balcony where he was and looked over as he stared at the horizon. It was Mafia Town. And it was just like how it looked when you first start the game, everything was in ruin as the mafia themselves were causing havoc around the island. But before Cayde could admire it anymore he heard the same yell but this it sounded like a yell for help!

He then searched from a top the balcony to where he heard the voice and what he found shocked him, in the area just some feet below him stood a castle of explosive barrels infested with Mafia some standing on the crates, a few others on the ground, while one stood amongst them holding what seemed to be a small girl in what seemed to be a red riding hood like cape.

Just as he was about to question a familiar figure caught his eye as he turned towards them as his eyes widened at who it was. It was Hat Kid! And she looked like she was heading over to the loud yelling herself to investigate. Not wanting to stall any longer Cayde nodded to himself knowing what his mission is.

1) Give Hat Kid her umbrella back, 2) Save the weird red caped figure and finally 3) Retrieve the time piece!

Nodding once more Cayde smirked as he then turned around hopped from down from the balcony and onto the ground below as he landed perfectly before he ran off into the distance after the young toddler.
