 [Alfred] What the...
 * Alfred woke up in his bed, only to find himself at ground level and his apartment destroyed. All he saw was rubble around him.

'''[Dr. Hm]''' I do wonder what has happened. [Alfred] Khakis! Are you okay?
 * Dr. Hm was standing before Alfred, who got up from his bed. Next to the ghost was Khakis, who now stayed true to her name - she was now a dusty brown, compared to before, when she was a more lush green.

[Khakis] I'm fine, don't worry. I'm just not sure why I'm more... brown.

[Alfred] The question is, what happened?

'''[Dr. Hm]''' The city was under attack and got destroyed last night. From the looks of it, nearly everything is down to rubble, and practically everyone else died in the firestorm.

[Alfred] Oh no... [Alfred] Ah! Who are you?
 * From under the rubble, Stick Man pops up. His stick was behind his back.

'''[Dr. Hm]''' This is Stick Man, one of the last humans from the Ice Age. He was found recently by a group of scientists up north, and they managed to save him. They don't know how he survived his time under the ice...

[Stick Man] ''Hello there. I was called here by the 'ghost', and so I was here. Then everything fell to nothing.''

[Khakis] You're mute?

[Stick] Don't rub it in.

'''[Dr. Hm]''' It is a miracle you are still alive, Alfred.

[Alfred] It's a miracle we are all still alive. Especially since everyone else is dead... [Khakis] What is that?!
 * The city of Chromatica, once a great city, has now been reduced down to rubble. No one else was there with the group.
 * Or so it seemed.
 * From the shadows, creatures emerged with red X'es on their faces. They took on many forms - canines, humanoids, stickmen, birds, and so on.

[Stick] The better question is why are they looking at us menacingly. [Alfred] Get in my car! Now!
 * Alfred began digging through the rubble.

[Stick] But what is a car? '''[Dr. Hm]''' What about you, my child?
 * Khakis motioned to Stick to follow her, and Dr. Hm began following the two, but not before stopping.

[Alfred] Grab your Moonsword! I'm getting my pistolknife! [Alfred] Come get a taste of my extra-terrestrial bullets! [Stick Man] This is an odd hut.
 * Dr. Hm floated into what was the living room and brought out a sword made of ferroplasm, decorated with symbols of the moon.
 * Alfred found his weapon under the rubble - a pistol with a knife attached under. He loaded it with a magazine attached to its side.
 * The X-monsters began attacking the car Khakis and Stick was in. One of the X-monsters got shot in the head from a bullet.
 * Alfred stood amongst the rubble with Dr. Hm by his side.
 * The X-monsters charged right at Alfred and Dr. Hm. One got near Alfred, who grabbed the monster's head and stabbed its chest with the pistolknife.
 * Dr. Hm hacked and slashed his way to the car, with Alfred following him, firing bullets right at the monsters' heads.
 * Finally the two got into Alfred's car, who started the engine and drove off. The monsters chased after the car.

[Alfred] I recognise those symbols on their head! That's the insignia of Strato-...

'''[Dr. Hm]''' What were you going to say?

[Alfred] Don't say 'Strato' followed by an 's' and 'fear'. It's that being's call of the Devil. If you say it, you will be cursed for eternity.

[Khakis] Who is this you talk of?

[Alfred] Mr. X was the being I was once under control of. I had to work for him, otherwise I would get killed. But what is he doing here? Why are his minions trying to kill us?

'''[Dr. Hm]''' We need to focus on getting to a safe zone, first.

[Alfred] From the looks of it, the monsters are spread across the world. I doubt this world is safe anymore. We have to go to another universe...

[Stick] I have no idea what you people are talking about.

[Khakis] What do you mean, Alfred?

[Alfred] We have to get to Team Tesseract's base!

'''[Dr. Hm]''' Alfred, PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD! [Alfred] Professor Hm!
 * In front of the team was a man walking around. Alfred immediately pulled the breaks on the car, stopping it forcefully.

[Khakis] He's alive?! Out of everyone else in this city, he's still alive?! [Oliver Hm] Hey guys... Do you have any room in there? I don't mean to disturb you, but I'd like to get out of these ruins... There were monsters chasing me!
 * Oliver waved to the team, rushed towards them, and knocked on the car. Alfred rolled down his window.

[Alfred] GET IN! HURRY!
 * Khakis opened the door next to her and scooched over next to Stick. Oliver entered the car, sat down, and closed the door. The car immediately rushed off to the outskirts of the city.

[Oliver] Can someone please explain to me what happened?

'''[Dr. Hm.]''' You see, the city was under attack last night. We are very unsure as to why, but...
 * As they drove off to Team Tesseract's base, Dr. Hm explained to his descendant the situation. After that, the team told stories. It was going to be a long drive.
