'(2nd) Time Shock'
Beginning
P1 and P2 are sitting down, minding their own business, when they hear a knock on the door. Who could it be? It’s Slasher! You know, the bad guy. He’s bringing them some sort of “peace offering.” He says he’s sorry for trying to get rid of them and presents them a gift. Confused, they take it in and unwrap it. It is a machine that says “Launch 300” on it, painted in red with really bad handwriting. Slasher presses a button on his remote and the brothers are sent inside, outside and in between their dimension.
Both brothers fall into a strange place. They explore a bit and see a house. There is a large computer on the wall. You go to turn it on and it says “Do not press that button.” You do it again. “Ahem. I said ‘Do not press that button!’” Once more. “ARE YOU DEAF?!? I SAID… Oh. I guess I’m already powered on, huh? Whatever, you got me! My name is ODM. It is short for Outer Dimensional Manager. I live in between dimensions and I am connected to every time period of every place. And it’s strange to see visitors. How’d you get here?” You tell him. “Oh my! Slasher? Hold on. Let me log into his current era. No data found. That’s strange. Wait, I have something! There are bits and pieces of his DNA in 14 other different eras. Maybe if you go to each one, I can find him for you. That’s right. You can travel through time. Just enter the tower in the center and enter the only open portal. You should go all the way back to when dinosaurs roamed!”
Chapter 1: We Welcome You Back
Here we are in the Stone Age. There are lots of plants and vines everywhere. There are boulders and rocks as well (I wonder why). As you keep going, there is a small dinosaur stuck in a hole. It says, “Somebody! Help! Please!” You pull him out and he says, “Phew thanks. I could’ve been dead. Wait, who are you? You don’t look like the usual fauna here.” P1 says, “Well, I’m… um… an evolution of a… a thing.” “Oh, cool. I’m Dino. I am what’s known as a Groglesite. Why am I here? I don’t know. I should’ve been ruled out by natural selection by now, but whatever.” They hear footsteps. “Oh no! It’s a Crevache. It’s hunting season now. Quick! Hide me!” The Crevache comes in and says, “You not us. What you? You fauna? Look for Groglesite. Not here. You look weak. We pound. You roast!” This is your first battle. But you win. The Crevache retreats, “Bad news! Bad guys!” Dino pops out and says, “Hey thanks. But, um… why’d you help me? You seem like the dangerous type.” P2 says, “We’re looking for a… thing. Don’t worry.”
As you travel on, a robot-like thing comes along. It has a screen on its face. The screen soon shows Slasher’s face. But he looks a little old. He says, “You?! How’d you… I thought I just… wait. Why are you here?” P1 says, “You sent us to another dimension and–” “Dimension? The last time I did that was 30 years ago. And why do you guys still look you did 30 years ago?” “We weren’t alive 30 years ago.” “Really? How old are you?” “22 and 17.” “So that means… oh no. You utterly stupid IDIOTS! Do you know what you have done?! You travelling back in time to the Stone Age in your present-time, and me travelling to the Stone Age in your future time, that means. YOU IDIOTS CREATED A WARP IN THE SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM! Now I have to find my past-self and convince him to not send you back in time without creating any paradoxes. Sine this is also your fault, I hereby declare that any time period you visit will be under my reign! It will be… SLASHERIZED! Starting with this cute little lizard here. ATTACK! MAKE THESE MORONS SUFFER FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE!” Boss battle. You beat him, and he returns to normal. But now we have to A) return this time period to normal, and B) find a way back to the Outer Dimension.
As you travel on, you find a bigger dinosaur. Slasher appears again. He says, “Look at this enormous lizard minding his own business. Those teeth. He’s obviously an herbivore. Not for long!” He presses a button and the dinosaur grows fangs. Slasher says, “It’s amazing the things you can do when your past self created a time paradox. Maybe, if I get rid of you two, you won’t exist in your present-time, therefore, my past self will have no one to send to another dimension! It’s foolproof! Maybe a little changed things along the way, but who cares?! Rex, dinner’s on!” You fight the dinosaur, and it returns to its normal state. Slasher says, “You may have won this time, but I’ll be back. Anywhere. Anytime. YOU’LL SEE!!!” You get warped back to the Outer Dimensio, and the small Dino comes with you. ODM says, “Oh no. A dinosaur? Take it back now! You have no idea what could happen!” P1 says, “We have worse matters on our hands.” “What?” “Slasher 30 years in the future appeared, and now he’s messing up every era because we messed up the time-space continuum.” “Oh, this is bad. We have to stop him before you two cease to exist. I have located his next destination. It is in Ancient Greedbag. Some may call in the Dark Ages. Go! QUICKLY! STOP HIM!”
Chapter 2: The Secrets of Greedbag
You enter the Ancient Greedbag territory. P1 says, “So this is what our home country was like during medieval times. Doesn’t look too safe, though. Let’s just get it and get out.” P2 says, “Right! No distractions! Find Slasher and resolve this era.” You run into… Richer? How is he alive? Richer says, “OH THANK GOODNESS! Someone from my era. I have no idea how I got here, but I saw that Slasher person with a beard and before I knew it, I ended up here! But I’m starting to like it. Riches, treasures, and war! All those things make this Greedbag a happy Greedbag. But… remember your debt? You still didn’t pay me back.” P1 says, “I did, and you used it to make yourself more powerful.” “Yeah. That was for ME. I still need the money for the vase! I guess I’ll have to take it the hard way then. You fight him. You win. He says, “Well this stinks. Also, if you find a way back to the present, take me with you.” Elder Slasher on a screen on a robot—actually, let’s just call it a Slasher Probe—appears. He says, “YOU?! I thought I lost you in the Stone Age! You’ll never catch me though. I’m going into the most protected place as of now: the castle! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! You’ll pay for the paradoxes!” And he leaves. After him!
