Part 2: The Evil Parallel Dimension
“I see the device did not work,” said the goatee-sporting Sinistral. “Very well, I will have Mazrim kill the scientists.” He then went down the steps, leaving only Mabat, Wolf of Light and Cala on the roof.
[
“What happened?” asked Mabat. “What’s wrong with Sinistral?”
“What do you mean?” asked Cala.
“I mean, he’s all evil and stuff,” said Mabat.
“Really?” asked Wolf of Light. “I haven’t noticed.”
“The blast must have sent us into an evil parallel dimension!” said Cala. “Our lives are at stake! We can’t trust anyone!”
They went down the stairs, where they learned what the Tower of Babel was in the parallel dimension: an evil command center for evil things. Sinistral watched as a left eye-missing Mazrim blew up several scientists in a pit below. He then looked at Evil Sinistral, but was shocked into submission at the push of a button and dragged into a large cage. The three hid in the shadows and watched the scene unfold below them.
Suddenly, a scar-sporting Videospirit entered, carrying a pizza box. “Your order’s here, sir,” he said, quickly setting it on top of a computer moniter before stepping away.
Evil Sinistral opened the box, then quickly closed it. “You failed to keep the anchovies off my pizza,” he said. He held his hand out, and Evil Videospirit’s face flushed with horror. “Your agonizer, please.”
“But, Captain Sinistral!” shouted Evil Videospirit.
“Your agonizer, please!” repeated Sinistral.
Evil Videospirit took a device off his belt and handed it to Evil Sinistral. Evil Sinistral jabbed it into Evil Videospirit’s shoulder several times, but nothing happened. “Oh, for crying out loud, you’re supposed to keep fresh batteries in your agonizer at all times!” shouted Evil Sinistral.
“I don’t know what happened,” said Evil Videospirit.
“You know what,” said Evil Sinistral, “let’s just go to the agony booth, okay?” He dragged Videospirit off, and the others used the chance to escape.
“Now what do we do?” asked Wolf of Light. “We’re stuck in a damn parallel dimension, with no way of getting back!”
“There might be a way,” said Mabat. “If we correct some sort of grave injustice or wrong in this world, we should be able to return home.”
“What makes you think that?” asked Cala.
“Hey, it worked on Star Trek,” said Mabat. “By the way, I grabbed something back there…”
Evil Sinistral and Evil Videospirit returned to the control room. “Typical,” said Evil Videospirit. “Agony booth’s out of order. You could call those service people and they’ll be around in, oh, December, maybe? Well, I could take it out-”
“SHUT UP, VIDEOSPIRIT!” said Evil Sinistral. He then looked at the moniter, and found something missing. “Where’s my pizza?”
“I don’t know,” said Evil Videospirit.
“You failed to guard my pizza,” said Evil Sinistral. “Your agonizer, please.”
“That’s your answer to everything!” shouted Evil Videospirit.
