Author's Note:

 Okay, so this idea comes from before the Stumpt gang met the hermits. In this time, Price was an anthro pig, Ash wasn't a hybrid, and Rik was pure human. There are other important story things to note, but that would be spoilers.

-------------------------------------------------------

 I....

 Where am I?

 A grey, crumbling wall was on almost all of my sides. The only wall that wasn't a real wall was on my right. I reached out and touched the cold bars with my hoof and...

 HAND?!

 I shot back and stared at my pig hoof and human hand. The five wiggling fingers were exactly like my other world self's fingers, but it was still so foreign to see them here.

 My whole head started to hurt as I tried to stand up.

 Come on....

 Come on.....

 You walk on hooves every time you're in the game... 

 Why is no-ow... ow... Why is now different? 

 I let out a shaky breath as I finally stood up in my wide cell. The air around me with somehow fresh as I noticed a vent in the corner. My tail twitched as I watched the blades move around. I raised my flesh-y hand and felt the cool air that came through.

 At least whoever trapped me here has some decency to keep me alive. I looked down at a tray of food that was lowered into my cell through a trap door in the ceiling. 

 My tail twitched again as I took the food and sat it down. The rope quickly recoiled into the ceiling and the door closed. I let out a sigh and put my back against the wall.

 I need to remember what happened.... What was I even doing before I ended up here? 

 I looked at my hand and hoof while thinking. My tail twitched as I searched my mind for any answers that could explain my current situation. 

 Rik getting kidnapped..... by something...

 S......

Ash falling into the void.... 

 St.....

 Jasmine and I running through a portal....

 Stu.....

 Come on.... Come on you can remember this.... You work with complicated machines... 

 Stum.....

 You... You almost got it....

 Stumpt.....

 Stumptlandia... 

 I.....

 I remember now...

 There was this man that looked like Rik... He came into the server, kidnapped Rik, and blew up Stumplandia, mine and Jasmine's pride of building.

 This Fake Rik.... Part of his body was made of metal, and his eyes were blood red with evil. He blew up the floating island that we called home.

 I suppose I should start from what happened to everyone now... That should help my memory and maybe it could ease the pain.... Who am I kidding? It will probably make it worse... 

 Rik went off to the bathroom after Jasmine and I showed him and Ash an amusement part we made called Stumptlandia. We waited for him to come back, but we never saw him again. 

  Ash, in an attempt to escape, tried to ride the roller coaster out. He couldn't hop out of the cart in time, so he got sucked into the void and sent to who knows where.... I think that if my machines worked well enough, then Ash should've followed our life signals to the next world. He should be in this world... hopefully.

 Now we get to Jasmine and I... The two of us tried to find Rik, but the whole world was sinking real fast. I took Jasmine by the hand and ran to a portal that we had set up in case anything went wrong. 

 When we got to the new world, we were falling. Jasmine landed in a pond near an unconscious Ash, and I...? That's what I can't remember. 

 I know what happened to my friends, but I don't remember how I ended up here. Man, I hope that they're alright... 

 A quiet beeping noise shook me out of my thoughts. My tail twitched as I looked towards the noise. 

 A camera.... I'm being watched....

 I stood up again and put my hand on the bar. The splitting headache had gone down by now, and I was beyond ready for answers.

 " HEY! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" I shouted at the camera as it turned off. I narrowed my eyes as a shadowy figure made its way down the hall. I took a step back and tripped over my hooves onto the hard ground. 

 The figure's eyes glowed a deep red. 

 Fake Rik....

 I moved back against the wall as the cyborg, older version of my friend walked up to my cell. His metallic leg clanked against the ground. He crossed his arms behind his back as he stared at me. 

 " .... " he didn't say a word as he slid some sticks through the bars. I picked up one of the sticks, " Why.... Why are you doing this? Where's Rik?" I questioned as Fake Rik lowered his shoulders. He didn't say anything as he slid me a picture. A picture of Rik wearing his blue hoodie. I turned the note to the back.

 " Your friend is going back to the others... He'll have amnesia though..." I read to myself. I looked up at the Fake Rik and saw that he was gone. 

 I narrowed my eyes and cautiously bit into the carrot he gave me. I gagged and spat the carrot out. A heavy nausea swept over me as I fell onto my side. 

 I breathed heavily as I lost feeling in the rest of me.

 The camera was aimed directly at me as I passed out in the cage.
