Chapter 1: The Adventure Begins

Dan woke up to Grim licking him.

"Grim... stop... five more minutes..." he said. He opened his eyes to see his loyal dog looking down at him.

"Okay Grim... I'm up." Dan told him. He sat up and noticed two things wrong. First, the back of his head felt a little sore... like someone had hit it. Second, he was in the portal hallway, not the lab.

"How did I- all I remember is taking you for a walk and... where's the portal back home?" asked Dan.

Either way, he needed to find his way home.

Meanwhile, Stacy woke up in the same situation. She sat up, rubbing the back of her head.

"What... not this again..." she muttered to herself as she stood up and looked around. "Joey! Are you here? Joey! I swear, this isn't funny..."

"Stacy? Is that you?" called Dan.

"Dan?" called Stacy. She then saw Dan in front of one of the portals with a wolf... which was also a skeleton. "Dan!"

"Stacy! There you are! Someone I reconize!" he exclaimed, running up to her. Grim ran up to Stacy, sniffing her and excitedly running around her.

"Slow down Grim! Don't make her dizzy!" Dan told his dog. "Stacy... this is my dog Grim. Grim, this is my friend Stacy."

Stacy knelt down and petted Grim.

"How did you even get a skeleton dog?" asked Stacy.

"It's a long story." Dan told her.

That was when they saw Stampy literally get pushed through a portal. Another person got pushed through as well, landing on top of him. The person quickly stood up, brushed herself off, and helped Stampy up. She had long black hair, black eyes, and on outfit similar to Stampy's. She wore jeans, sneakers, and a hoodie, only her hoodie was light purple.

"Stampy!" exclaimed Dan and Stacy, running up and hugging him.

"It's so great to see you guys!" exclaimed Stampy. He quickly broke from the hug and introduced the girl. "This is my sister Anette."

"Please... call me Netty." Anette said, blushing. "Where are we?"

"It appears to be the portal hallway... Stacy and I where knocked out and brought to a random area... did you guys get kidnapped?" asked Dan.

"We where walking through a cave and I suggested that we go through this portal we found. Netty was going to talk me out of it... then we got pushed through." Stampy replied.

"Either way, I'm not staying here. I need to get home to my friends, animals, and-" Stacy said, starting towards the portal.

Suddenly, there was a hissing noise.

"That doesn't sound like a portal..." Netty said.

"Oh no... get down!" Dan exclaimed.

Everyone ran away from the portal as a loud bang sounded. When the smoke cleared, the group looked back at the portal in shock.

The portal was destroyed.

"Oh geez...oh geez oh geez..." Dan said, shocked.

"What are we going to do?" asked Stampy.

Stacy shut her eyes, trying hard not to cry.

"We'll... we'll find another way... don't worrry." Netty said at long last.

Suddenly, Grim started to bark and growl at something in the distance.

"What is it Grim?" asked Dan.

Grim ran into the still clearing smoke and pulled out a young girl by her pant leg. She was roughly fifteen, had blond hair tied up in two buns, red-brown goggles over her eyes, overalls, a red-brown shirt under her overalls, gold boots, and a backpack over her shoulder.

"Let go of me you stupid-" the girl muttered, trying to shake Grim enough to have him let go of her pant leg.

Grim let go and ran over to Dan. The girl walked away. But then a peices if flint and steel fell from her bag.

"You!" exclaimed Dan.

"Who, me?" asked the girl, turning around to face Dan.

Dan held up the flint and steel. "You blew up the portal!" he exclaimed.

"I demand a proof of evidence!" responded the girl.

"This is proof enough!" exclaimed Stacy.

"Sorry! Innocent until proven guilty!" exclaimed the girl.

Grim growled at her.

"Fine...I did blow up the portal... but for good means. Do you know who Alpha is?" asked the girl, pulling up her goggles to reveal her black eyes.

"No... we've heard of Atlas, not Alpha." Stampy replied.

"He- well, she, is the reason you're all here. She's trying to destroy your worlds." the girl told them. "As soon as I found out, I knew I had to protect you guys. So I brought you here and destroyed the portal so she wouldn't get you guys, or your worlds."

"But we can't go home..." Netty responded. "What about our friends and family?"

"Along your way, there's a portal that will take you back to your worlds. You can go home then. But until then, there's a journey ahead of you." the girl said with a smile as she stared to walk away.

"Oh no you don't." Stacy said, going over to the girl, grabbing her by her right overall strap, and brought her back to the group. "You walked us into this mess, and you're telling us how to walk out!"

"You said you knew Alpha?" asked Dan.

"First of all, I have a name. It's Juliette, but call me JT. Second, yeah. I used to work for her. Until I found out she was after you guys." the girl said. "If she finds out I helped you guys, I'm dead! Can you protect me?"

"First of all, no! Second of all, definitely no!" Stacy exclaimed, letting her go.

"Alright... I guess I'll have to make my final days count..." JT said sadly, walking away. "I had a pretty good fifteen years...it's a shame I got to die so soon..."

"Don't fall for it guys. She's playing the guilt card." Stacy told them.

"I know... but I can't help myself..." whispered Stampy.

"Don't you even think-" whispered Stacy.

"JT, come back! You can stay!" called Stampy.

JT ran back to Stampy and pulled him into a crushing hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she exclaimed.

"Don't mention it. Now please let me go. I can't breathe." Stampy told her. JT let go from the hug.

"So, which portal do we go through first?" asked Dan.

"Well... I'll show you!" exclaimed JT, grabbing Dan by the hand and leading him down the hallway, telling facts about each portal. Grim trotted along right besides them. Netty followed close behind. Stampy and Stacy where in the back.

"I don't trust her." Stacy told Stampy.

"What? You're sassy too." Stampy replied, running to catch up with the others.

"Stampy, I am not sassy!" exclaimed Stacy.

Now we need your ideas!

What portal should the group go through first? What should be going on in the portal? Write it in!
