Trebles sight slowly began to return as he began to open his eyes. Sitting up he groaned while rubbing the back of his head, feeling as though he had just been hit in the back of the skull by a sledgehammer. ‘Ah damn...what the hell happened?’ He thought as he focused on soothing the pain in his head by massaging the sore spot.

After a moment Treble remembered what Hack had done, the last thing he could recall was falling through a white and blue vortex before being struck in the back of the head.

‘I really need to get Hack back for this, I'm all for his usual random moments but this is just going too far.’Slowly rising to his feet Treble sighed and placed his hands on his hips while looking around the new area. ‘Only question is, where the hell am I?’

The area he appeared to be in was a dark forest. The leaves on the trees were glowing blue with the wood being black and glass like. The grass was also glowing blue, the colour sending a calming feeling over Treble. Finding a dirt path a few feet away from his current position he shrugged and began to follow the trail to wherever it would lead him.

‘This place is so beautiful, it's like the dreamscape that Sunset and I visited after we beat Adagio. Just what is this place?’

Meanwhile, in another area of the forest, Shard sat up,and rubbed the back of his head. “Damn, what the hell hit me so hard?” Shaking the pain away, he stood up,and took in his surroundings. “Well...this is new.”

Walking up to one of the glass trees, Shard began to feel a presence nearby, growing stronger as he approached the glowing plant. As he placed a hand in the tree bark, he began to hear the distant laughter of a little girl, the sound stopping as he took his hand off the tree. Placing his hand on the tree next to it he heard a soft motherly voice humming a calming tune.

Stepping back slightly Shard began to question what these trees really were. “This is strange, these aren't ordinary trees that's obvious, but there's something about them...something familiar.”

Walking towards the nearby path with his hand on the hilt of his blade, Shard began to explore the deeper sections of this mysterious forest. Looking up at the sky he noticed that it was a very dark purple, with black clouds that had various swirl patterns in them.

“I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore…” Slapping himself for the awful reference, he pressed forwards, hoping to find something that would either get him home or explain what this place was.

Treble, seeming to not be as questioning as Shard, just began looking for a way to get back to his home to spend time with his worlds Sunset. ‘Ok, I was sent here through one of the mirror portals, that means there has to be some kind of mirror in this place, I just need to find it first.’ As he walked he took the time to notice a few extra details on the trees. There seemed to be patterns on each tree, none of the patterns real eating on any other tree, making the plants have a sense of individuality. ‘There's something about these trees that I feel like I should know…’

As he was walking, he stopped as he heard the sound of soft, rapid footsteps behind him, as if some small creature was running around in different directions. Turning around he saw nothing, and the noises ceased. Narrowing his eyes he began to slowly take a few steps forward before turning back around to resume his search for an exit.

In another area of the forest, Roden stood facing one of the trees. “Why bring us here of all places writer? Afterall this is where you send your characters to...” I know it is, but you guys are safe for now, there's just so,done here that needs taken care of. “And you brought Treble and Shard instead of a powerful character like Symbol because?” For one he’s busy, secondly this has been a crossover that is way overdue and finally there'd be no challenge if I brought a guy like him here.

Roden rolled his eyes and continued facing the trees, studying its patterns and taking in its presence.

“Interesting…”

Meanwhile, Treble continued to look around randomly which his hands in his jackets pockets, nearing a fork in the pathway, although he didn't pay much attention to that, his focus was the trees. ‘I could probably make a song inspired by this place, maybe chillstep or something. Something called Blackwood Forest or whatever sounds good.’

Shard was also approaching the fork in the path from another route, his hand still on the hilt of his sword just in case. He kept scanning the treeline but only made quick glances at the road.

Eventually they both reached the centre of the pathway, with having not payed attention to the path they bumped into each other and fell on their backsides. Shard quickly reached for his katana but stopped as he saw that the person he had bumped into was just another young man. “Oh, sorry, wasn't looking where I was going.” He apologised as he got to his feet.

“It's alright.” Treble reassured as he got to his own feet and looked to Shard.

It took a moment for them to figure it out but they finally asked themselves the question ‘Wait, how is this guy here with me?’

Shard cleared his throat and extended his hand. “Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Shard, a Shard Storm, what's your name?”

Treble smiled and took Shards hand in his and shook. “Treble Clef.”

‘Why do I get the sense that Treble Mix and this guy need to meet?’ Shaking his head Shard smiled and pulled his hand away. “So Treble, you don't seem to be from around here, do you know what this place is?”

Treble shook his head.

"Wait so you don't know how we got here either?"

"Nah." Treble shook his head as he answered.

"Do you know anyone who might know what's going on?" Shard asked as he looked around the dark area that they had been brought to.

"Hack might." Treble answered with a smile before it faded as he remembered they were separated from anyone else. "Oh...right."

"Well we've got to find some way out of here, I got business with a certain Irish drunk that I want to get over with." Shard said dully as he motioned Treble to follow while walking down the gravel path.

"Right." Treble said as he jogged to catch up with the swordsman. 'I don't who this guy is, but for some reason...he seems familiar.'

'When I learned this guys name I thought he'd be like Treble Mix, but...something seems odd about him, like I should know him or something...' Shard thought as he looked to Treble from the corner of his eye.

Behind them, a small figure hid behind a tree, peeking over to look at the pair. Smirking the small figure moved her fingers slightly before snapping them.

Suddenly, Treble and Shard stopped, feeling a sudden rush of energy. As they turned to each other their eyes met. They stared for a moment before growling and throwing a punch at each other's faces. They hit at the same time with the same force and both were thrown down onto their backs.

The small figure just giggled evilly as she watched. “This is going to be fun.”
