"What? my powers aren't working!" Slinky said. "Stay calm, Slinky. Perhaps we can contact them from in here and tell them we're here." Higgins said. "I hope they can take him down before we're goners." Said Slinky.
Earlier that day…
"Listen up, gentlemen. We have received word that an enemy wanted for quite some time has shown up near Pepperjack Park. You boys are tasked to take him down and bring him into custody." Rhys said. "Yes sir." Said Higgins. "Let's move." Said Slinky. They grabbed their things and made their way to the park. Along the way Matter made them stop for ice cream and Higgins had to pee really bad. Once they eventually got there, they did some investigating. "Alright, let's split up. Each person takes direction." Said Roswell.
To the north, Slinky found himself in some dense trees that seemed to have been growing for more than a decade without proper care. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something on one of the tree branches. He climbed up the tree and found something very strange. "Why is that branch a different color? It shouldn't be possible." He said under his breath. He inched closer and reached over to touch it. As his fingers touched the differently shaded branch, it sucked him in and he fell off the tree. Suddenly, everything around him was also colored differently. "Oh boy, we've got a situation now." He said to himself.
Meanwhile in the southern direction, Higgins found himself in a playground. He walked around and inspected the swings, the seesaw, and the jungle gym. He finally came to the slide and got to the top. He noticed a section of the slide was a different color than the rest but decided it wasn't out of the ordinary and slid down. The moment his feet touched the oddly colored section, it sucked him in and as he reached the bottom of the slide he saw that everything was now the same odd color. "Hello? Roswell? Slinky?" Said Higgins. "Hey! Over here!" Said Slinky running over. "What's going on?" Asked Higgins. "I'm not sure but it must be the result of the guy that we're looking for. Let's stick together and see if we can figure this place out." Slinky suggested.
After not finding anything east or west, Matter and Roswell met back where they split up. "Where's the other two?" Matter said. Out of nowhere, an evil laugh could be heard. "Your friends are trapped in my world now." Said someone. "What? Explain yourself!" Demanded Roswell. "You see, they are in a mirror world, of sorts. And there's no way out. Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. I am known as Apparito." "Well, Apparito, let our friends go. What's your goal?" Roswell asked. "Simply to watch the weak burn." Said Apparito. In the mirror dimension, Higgins spotted a mirror laying on a bench nearby and noticed that it was almost like a window. Slinky picked it up and held it upright as he looked through it. "It looks like Matter and Roswell found the enemy in the normal world." Slinky said. "We need to help them! Maybe there's a way through the mirror." Higgins said. Suddenly, Slinky came to a realization as he tried to figure out the mirror. "What? my powers aren't working!" Slinky said. "Stay calm, Slinky. Perhaps we can contact them from in here and tell them we're here." Higgins said. "I hope they can take him down before we're goners." Said Slinky.
Meanwhile, Matter and Roswell were throwing everything they had at Apparito. "Come on, I'm right here." Mocked Apparito. "Wait. What if we used that?" Matter said. "It's worth a shot." Said Roswell. Matter pulled a pen out of his jacket which extended into a sniper rifle. Roswell distracted Apparito long enough for Matter to take the shot. "You've just been hit with a tranquilizer, bud." Matter exclaimed. Apparito struggled to stay standing as Roswell walked over and slapped on some special handcuffs. All of a sudden, a mirror that was nearby began to shake violently. Then Slinky and Higgins were hurled through the mirror and flat on their stomachs. "What happened to you guys?" Matter asked. "Uh. We were trapped there without our powers or a way to contact you." Slinky said as he recovered to his feet. "It was weird in there with everything being the same color and being the only two people." Higgins said. "The suspect has been detained. Let's get this guy to HQ." Roswell said.
Later, Rhys walked into the brief room and commended the boys on their fine work. "It seems more and more people with strange abilities are cropping up. But I know I can count on you all to handle it." Said Rhys. The guys nodded and raised their glasses. "Here's to another one off the streets." Slinky said. They all clinked glasses and had a good laugh. Slinky pulled Matter aside and said "I heard what you did today. That was pretty cool. Thanks for saving our butts, bro." "Aw, it was nothing. I mean who else gets to carry a retractable sniper rifle? We have the coolest jobs." Matter said. "That we do, my friend. That we do." Agreed Slinky.
