Cherry and Billy soon ended up on a bunch of trucks near a fiery pit.
"This is Clustertruck." Billy told Cherry.
"So I see..." Cherry replied before they walked over as Jack was being dangled upside down by a red-haired woman and a blue-haired man.
"How do I keep getting myself into this?" Jack sulked.
"Hello, Jack!" Red greeted. "Did you miss us?"
"Oh... Balloons..." Jack groaned in misfortune.
"I don't think he missed us." Blue commented.
"Clearly we didn't make as much of an impact as we'd hoped," Red replied to him. "But that'll change momentarily."
"What the Fahrenheit are you doing?!" Jack glared. "Untie me!"
"Aw, quite a shame," Red smirked. "We were hoping for a bit more enthusiasm!"
"For what?" Jack demanded.
"Well, now you're just letting us down." Blue said.
"You could at least pretend," Red suggested. "Might be the thing that keeps you alive!"
"At least we spared your life, unlike a certain skeleton." Blue added.
"And he caused you tons of pain!" Red called out. "Really, why be friendly with him and not us?"
"I've heard of skeletons in the closet, but skeletons in the bathroom?" Blue commented. "That's just tacky."
"First off, that wasn't subtle," Jack glared. "Second, who the hell are you, and why are you tormenting me?"
"Do you really not care about your own community?" Red replied. "Your own fan games?"
"I see not much has changed in the last few years." Blue said to her in response.
"You can't expect me to remember every game I've ever played," Jack replied. "Does Cherry remember every franchise she's written for?"
"Sooo, what you're saying is, we didn't make an impact?" Red asked, offended.
"JackSepticEye's Paradox." Blue added.
"You know, that time we tested experimental potions on you!" Red prompted.
"Oh, right, the Team Rocket knock-offs," Jack now remembered before doing a double take. "WHA-HEY!"
"It's like we have to be mean in order for you to treat us nicely!" Red replied.
"Okay! Okay! Look, I'm nice!" Jack grinned innocently. "I'm smiling! Smiling is nice, I'm treating you nice, let me go please!"
"Hmph." Red pouted.
"HEY!" Billy called out.
"Ooh, look at that, we've got visitors!" Red said as she and Blue turned around.
"Wow, you must hate us if you're willing to ally yourself with someone like Billy." Blue added.
"So true. So sad." Red agreed.
"Hey, you guys, let Jack down right now!" Cherry demanded.
"Wow, your little friends are unpleasant, Jack!" Blue scoffed. "It's been two years and we don't even get a hello?"
"Manners are clearly out the window," Red commented. "What will we do with you?" She then asked.
"Well, I have one idea." Blue smirked.
Cherry then let out a nervous gulp.
"If you're thinking what I'm thinking, then this is gonna be tons of fun!" Red smiled to Blue.
"And, dare I ask, what are you thinking?" Cherry asked, a little nervously.
"What else? A second chance to prove yourself!" Blue announced.
"Hmm... Technically it's a third chance," Red corrected. "I mean Jack did fail twice the first time we met."
"And, uh, how do we prove ourselves?" Cherry asked.
"Simple! GAME SHOW!" Red announced.
There was then the sound of canned applause.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Jack mumbled.
There were then flashing multi-colored lights.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have two lovely contestants here to try and redeem Jack's already tarnished name!" Blue announced.
"If they get all the answers correct, they'll get an AMAZING PRIZE!" Red added. "But, if they get even one wrong answer, to the lava you go, Jackaboy!"
"We can start with an easy one!" Blue said.
"Please do..." Cherry hoped as she felt not so lucky.
"Yes, that sounds fair." Red agreed with Blue.
"And no comments from the peanut gallery," Blue then told Jack. "They're going to have to figure them out all on their own."
"Hopefully they've got a good memory, because if they don't, it's off you go into the nice pit of lava, bye-bye!" Red smirked. "So... First question! What has dear Jack said is his favorite color? Blue, Green, Blue, or Yellow?"
"Red." Cherry said from memory in a personal video Jack made of himself which made applause clap for her.
"Wow, they're not as dumb as they look!" Red smirked.
"Hey!" Cherry and Billy glared.
"Well, don't count on your victory just yet." Blue told them.
"Oh, yes, we have a wonderful little batch of questions all ready for you!" Red added.
"So... Jack's Myers Briggs type, according to the test, has what dominate Jungian function?" Blue prompted. "Extroverted Feeling, Extroverted Sensing, Extroverted Intuition, Extroverted Thinking."
"Wow... That's a complex question..." Cherry said, a bit nervously.
"Feeling." Billy said, which then made more applause.
"Oh, someone knows their typology, quite impressive!" Red commented.
"Very impressive!" Blue added.
"Already onto round three!" Red smirked. "Which name has Evie NOT given to Jack? Queen Elizabeth, Trevor, Emily, Phuoc?"
"Uh... Um..." Cherry stammered as she began to sweat nervously. "Uh..."
Billy looked at her.
"Emily?" Cherry guessed.
The audience soon groaned and the lights came back on.
"This isn't a bad guess at all." Red smirked.
"No, it's not," Blue smirked back. "Why would Evie call him Emily?"
"I don't know!" Cherry shrugged as she felt slumped now.
"Who knows? But she did!" Red grinned sadistically. "Have fun burning, Jack!"
Jack was then lowered and let out a pained scream.
"JAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCK!" Cherry cried out.
Suddenly, Cherry and Billy were back where they were before.
"Cherry, are you okay?" Billy asked.
"J-Jack... H-He..." Cherry stammered before looking around. "Wait, what?"
"Come on, we have to help Jack." Billy told her before jumping.
'Did I just imagine all of that then?' Cherry thought to herself before joining him.
They soon came back and it seemed as though Blue and Red remembered the previous game before Cherry lost it for them.
"And here we thought after burning Jack alive once, you'd throw in the towel!" Red smirked.
"I think your persistance deserves a reward." Blue added.
"I think so too!" Red agreed. "You deserve a fourth chance to prove yourselves!"
"Please don't kill me again." Jack begged in irritation.
"Heheh... Let's see if they can keep you alive a teensy bit longer!" Red replied, rather sadistically.
The lights then flashed again and the game show started again, much to Cherry's confusion.
"And we're back, ladies and gentlemen, with these two rather sad excuses for contestants!" Blue announced.
"So sad," Red added. "Anyway, let's get on with the show!"
"First question! Jack once entered a taco making contest that was judged by Rachel Ray, who was his partner?" Blue prompted. "MatPat, Markiplier, PewDiePie, Wade?"
"Jack made tacos for Rachel Ray?" Cherry sounded amazed.
"MatPat." Billy answered for her.
"Wow, a clap and a half to you!" Blue told them. "Looks like someone's been drinking their Diet Coke!"
"Remember, that's just an answer..." Red added. "A CORRECT ANSWER!"
"I suppose we could #BlameJason if they didn't get it right!" Blue suggested.
"You're already doing much better!" Red smirked.
"Our next question might not be so easy!" Blue smirked as well. "In which fan game does Jack wear a hat? Jacksepticeye's Game, Jacksepticeye's Paradox, Jackventure, Jack to the Future?"
"Ugh... Man..." Cherry groaned. "I remember the 1 Million Subscriber party... Um..."
Billy looked nervous and Jack bit his lip as she thought it over.
"Would it be... Jackventure?" Cherry soon guessed.
"Oh, nice! Correct!" Red announced much to her relief. "Jackventure and that game you just mentioned are the two games that include a hat as a clothing item!"
Cherry then held her chest and breathed, feeling so relieved.
"That's two questions down and three to go!" Red announced.
"Imagine if they'd managed to save you, Jack, by answering all of our first questions correctly," Blue smirked. "You'd better hope that they've gotten smarter this time!"
"Too true, too true, and our next question even involves our favorite subjects: us!" Red announced. "What animal did we turn Jack into the first time we met him? Crow, Turtle, Dog, Mouse?"
Billy and Cherry looked nervous and took their best guess.
"Uh, a dog?" Billy smiled sheepishly.
"We'd love to think of Jack as a big, friendly puppy!" Red smiled. "Mainly because that's sort of how he comes across in all those silly videos."
"But he's way too dog-like in personality to warrant turning him into one," Blue replied. "So I guess you'll have to turn into charred remains!"
Jack was soon heard screaming and splashed into the lava yet again.
Cherry turned away, squeezing her eyes shut, though when she opened one eye, both eyes widened as she was back at Freddy's yet again. "How does that keep happening?!" she then complained.
"Cherry, stop standing around, we have to help Jack!" Billy told her.
"I'm coming, I'm coming..." Cherry sighed and soon joined him.
"I'm starting to think you should watch more Jack videos before you see those merchants again." Billy suggested.
"I'm sure you'll both get it eventually." Katie said as she walked by just to hug Cherry for confidence and support before walking off again.
"Bye, Kat, bye..." Cherry said softly and distantly.
"What do you think, Jack?" Red asked the YouTuber as Cherry and Billy soon came back, yet again. "Think they'll come back? They lost pretty badly the last time!"
"Imagine if they don't come back." Blue smirked.
"Okay, we could have a lot of fun!" Red grinned.
"AHEM!" Billy glared which made the two turn around.
"Well, speak of the devil!" Blue smirked. "They did come back!"
"They're persistent, I'll give them that." Red smirked back.
"Yeah, yeah, let's just get this over with." Cherry replied.
"All right, let's try again so you can save your princess." Red smirked.
"Princess?" Jack glared.
"So, we thought we'd start off real easy!" Red smiled innocently. "Who is known for making some of the notoriously hardest levels in Mario Maker that Jack has played? Ross, Jack himself, Markiplier, Joel?"
"Ross." Cherry glared.
"Ho hum, you're right, whatever..." Blue rolled his eyes, unimpressed.
"What is Jack's septic eye's name?" Red asked. "Francisco, Eunice, Sam, Jack the Eye?"
"Sam." Billy said as these questions became stupidly easy now like the first round of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
"Yep, we're pretty much spoon-feeding you these." Red rolled her eyes.
"What is Jack's signature color?" Blue asked. "Vermilion, Turquoise, Fuchsia, Green?"
"Green." Cherry said, sounding bored now.
"Yay, you've seen Jack's channel before, big accomplishment..." Red replied, dully.
"These questions are suspiciously easy." Jack commented.
"What is the correct version of this phrase?" Blue asked. "Speed is cake!, Speed is key!, Speed is for the weak!, Speed is speed!?"
"Speed is Key!" Cherry announced in her best Jack impression.
"Hey, not bad!" Jack chuckled to that.
"One more question, and it'll be the easiest one!" Red smiled now.
"There's one person here who's bound to know the answer!" Blue added.
"I don't like the way you said that." Jack moaned.
"So... Final question... Who does Billy have a crush on?" Red asked.
"Wait, WHAT?!" Billy gasped.
"Answer the question or Jack takes a plunge!" Red smirked. "Who does Billy have a crush on? Nugget, Frisk, Fran Bow, Smiley?"
"Isn't it-" Cherry was about to ask.
"No! Don't answer this!" Billy glared, covering her mouth with his hand.
"Aw, I guess it is a bit too much for our poor friend Billy!" Red smirked. "For you, we'll change it..." She then looked comically serious. "Who does Billy have a crush on? Fran Bow, Fran Bow, Fran Bow, Fran Bow?"
"I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON ANYONE!" Billy snapped. "SHUT UP!"
"Billy and Fran? That's adorable!" Jack grinned.
"You know what?" Billy huffed. "Just drop him!"
"Nooope, you got it right, you get to go free!" Red smirked.
Eventually, the trucks stopped driving down the road and Jack was untied.
"Well, this was more fun than I expected!" Blue smiled.
"Heheh, well, be sure to say hi to Fran when you see her!" Red added.
"You both suck." Billy glared while blushing.
"So rude!" Blue harrumphed.
"At least we let you live this time, and gave you some easy questions," Red added. "Really, we did you a favor."
"Well, it was a little humiliating... At least I don't have an embarrassing crush." Cherry shrugged.
"Latin Luster~" Katie suddenly appeared with a joking smirk.
"GAH!" Cherry yelped and Katie giggled as she soon teleported away like a magical creature.
"I don't even wanna know what she meant by that, but even so, manners are important," Red said. "Ah, well. Hopefully you remember us better this time around. You never know when you'll see us again!"
"But we did promise a reward," Blue then remembered. "How about this hydrospersion key we've been carrying around?"
"That's not an ass-pull at all." Cherry muttered.
"We'll take it!" Jack smiled as he took the key.
Red and Blue soon left and got into their truck as this was goodbye, and they drove away. Soon, Cherry, Billy, and Jack walked down the road and were back in Jack's apartment.
At Jack's apartment, they came in the bathroom to see how big the shop had gotten since they left. There was now Napstablock, Octodad, the Riddle School kids, and many more along with some paintings based on games, especially with a Temmie that was modeled into the Mona Lisa. They said their hellos and then came to see Alphys since they had the hydrospersion key.
When they got in the computer room, Jack noticed five new faces, but familiar at the same time.
"Are you all... Me...?" Jack blinked.
"About fidgetin' time you figured that out, ya fizzin' dimple." Jack 5 muttered.
"Is that Billy?" Jack 4 wondered.
"DID THIS FILTERING COMPUTER JUST CENSOR ME?!" Jack 5 snapped.
"This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen." Jack mumbled.
"I have no words." Cherry added.
"This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen." Billy commented.
"Billy?" Jack 1 asked. "How'd you come back to life?"
"STEP AWAY FROM THE BILLY!" Jack 2 advised.
"Jack, this is weird, it's weird enough to have a million Katies wandering around..." Cherry said.
"I think I agree..." Jack said to her, feeling a bit awkward.
"I said no Baked Alaska, Papyrus and Undyne!" Katie scolded.
"Aww..." Papyrus and Undyne pouted like children.
"I don't even wanna know..." Jack groaned.
"Um... Anyway, here's the key, Alphys." Cherry said to the scientist.
"Thank you," Alphys smiled. "I really hope finding it this time wasn't as bad as it was the last time."
"Heh... Well, I guess it depends on who you ask..." Cherry said, sheepishly.
"I'd take the first one again in a heartbeat." Billy frowned.
"Heh... See?" Jack grinned nervously.
"So, um, where do we get this next key then?" Cherry asked.
"Well, you guys are doing g-great so far!" Alphys smiled. "We just need that one last hydrospersion key."
"You still can't get the firewall down?" Jack frowned out of concern.
"No. It seems to have mutated," Alphys narrowed her eyes. "Whoever this BOSS is did their homework. I can't do a thing to it."
"Well then, what sort of dangerous fields will we be facing this time?" Jack asked.
"I can't tell... Whatever it is seems to have a looping signature to it," Alphys replied. "Other than that, I can't get a good read on it. Best to be prepared for anything it might throw your way."
"Looping signature?" Cherry asked.
"Seems t-to be a game that resets itself a lot." Alphys hinted.
"Sounds like that one level in Bubsy where if you don't kill the enemy at the checkpoint, you'll die once you come back to that part over and over until Game Over." Cherry commented.
"Well, I'm not sure what a B-Bubsy is, but good luck." Alphys replied.
"Thanks for all your help, Alphys," Jack smiled. "Now, onward, team! Wait... No... Not team. Gang? Comrades?"
"I've always liked the word possé." Cherry shrugged.
"Ooh! Ooh!" Katie smiled. "You could be Possépticeye!"
"I like it!" Jack agreed. "Okay, Possépticeye, let's roll out!"
And with that, they then left and went to go out the door.
"Vait!" The man guarding Jack's room called out. "I have something for you."
"Huh?" Cherry blinked before going that way with Jack and Billy.
"Papers, please!" Jorgi told them.
"Okay, Potato Man, just let me into my room." Jack told the man.
"Very bold move, trying to enter your room vith such confidence, but I still can't let you in." Jorgi replied.
"I feel like this is revenge for what you did in the game to him, Jack." Cherry guessed.
"But he was always my favorite~" Jack pouted. "Aaaahhh~..."
"Come back vith passport, entry ticket, and vaccination records." Jorgi told them.
"Never thought this guy would be such a stickler for the rules." Billy commented.
"And before you go, take this." Jorgi said before handing them a gift.
"A potato?" Jack blinked.
"You need food for your journey." Jorgi advised.
"Okay, but a potato?" Cherry replied. "Can't we fry it or mash it or something?"
"It is vitally important," Jorgi told her. "GLORY TO ARTSTOTZKA!"
"Guess we're not going to get a sufficient explanation or recipe." Billy commented.
"Okay... Well... Bye then..." Cherry said as she left.
"The Potato Man got a potato from the Potato Man." Jack said.
"Very funny." Cherry rolled his eyes about his self-depreciation of his heritage.
