"These people can help you get back where you came from." Marky wrote on his notepad.

Mark led Kate and Theo back to the Hero Society and stood among the greatest heroes of Salty city. Kate explained their situation to them and after a bit of whispering among themselves, they said they'd be happy to help. One of their head scientists was coincidentally working on a machine to enter portals that were occurring in their world but different from the rifts in Kate and Theo's world. Even though they were warned about the machine still being a prototype, the kids hopped in and were ready to go back to their world and defeat the evil man behind the rifts. 

"Ok. Beginning procedure in T-5, 4, 3, 2, 1...Liftoff!" Exclaimed the scientist. 

"Woah. Kate, I feel weird." Theo muttered. Kate nodded her head in agreement. 

Then in a flash, they were enveloped in total darkness and the next instant, in blinding white light. Then when they opened their eyes they were once more falling out of the sky but this time it was their world! Both kids grinned and knew what to do. They released emergency parachutes from their suits and floated towards the tower where they had previously fought the man with the rift powers and landed on the roof. Now with the knowledge of his powers, the kids, nay young adults, were ready to defeat this great evil. First, Kate made real invisibility cloaks and Theo made a pool of lava that surrounded the tower which would slowly rise without the evil man knowing. Second, Theo made rock shields and Kate created laser guns. Now they were ready! Both of them dashed inside fully invisible and, using the laser guns, sneak attacked the man. Then Kate distracted him while Theo rammed him with the rock shields. All while they were fighting Theo was raising the lava pool which was now halfway up the building. People nearby saw this tall pillar of lava but were beginning to become afraid.

"People, do not be afraid. The heroes Thorn and Hip are inside taking care of this evil so please stand back!" Said Slinky as he and Laughing Matter arrived and calmed the people outside.

*Gasp* 

"Oh no!" Kate yelled. 

She had put her guard down for only a moment and the man got the upper hand and knocked her out. Theo struggled to multitask fighting and raising the lava before being forced to stop the lava halfway up the building. The man lunged at him while he was distracted and knocked him back against the wall. The kids now on the cusp of defeat couldn't do anything. They couldn't create anything since Kate was knocked out and Theo was in pain from being thrown. Just then, a figure jumped in front of them and used a super cool sword to push the evil man back. Theo could hazily make the figure out. He wore all black. He also donned a green scarf and mask that resembled a fox. He had amazing skills with the sword he wielded. 

Theo raspily asked, "W-who are you?" 

"Just call me Snarf-kai." He said. "Don't worry I got your back." 

Once Theo regained his strength he rushed over to Kate to wake her up. 

After seeing her awake, Snarf-kai said "Hey! I've got an idea. If we're gonna win this we need to work together! Kate I need you to take my sword and make a special handle so I hold it while Theo can imbue it with his elemental powers." 

The kids were unsure whether to trust Snarf-kai at first but they knew it was the only way to defeat the evil man. The kids did exactly as Snarf-kai had ordered. 

Now with his elemental sword imbued, Snarf-kai said "This is where your reign ends. This is where your evil ends. This is where YOU end."

Once Snarf-kai found an opening he thrust his sword right through the evil man's heart. Then it was as if everything stopped at once. 

The man pulled out the sword and grunted before saying "We will meet again."

As he disappeared through a rift, a calm came over everyone. All of the rifts in the sky began to close. People began to cheer. 

"Looks like my time is up." Snarf-kai said. 

He had begun to glow and teleport back to his own world now that the rifts were closing. 

"Thank you for all your help! I bet you're a great hero in your world." Theo said. 

Snarf-kai responded "Naw. I'm not really into that kind of thing but I'll help when I'm needed. Take care of your world and maybe we'll see each other again someday." 

Kate said, "Take care see ya Snarf-kai!" 

Then he disappeared in a ray of light. The kids used the portable transporter to go back to Calibre Cave to debrief with Slinky and Laughing Matter. 

"Nice work you two." Slinky said. 

Laughing Matter chimed in "Yeah even if you would've been deader than a box of rocks." 

Slinky elbowed Matter in the gut. 

Kate said "Yeah I can't believe a couple of kids named Kate and Theo could take down such an evil person-" 

Slinky interjected and said "I think you mean I can't believe 'Thorn and Hip' took down such an evil presence. From now on you both truly are heroes of this new generation."

Laughing Matter, getting himself back in the conversation, said "Alright! Go get'em, you boneheads!"

Meanwhile…

"Mwuhahahahaha! Now that I have hostages, what shall you do now you so-called heroes?!"
