Brand New Reality

Glass crunches under your thick-soled shoes as you step further into the eerie silence of the abandoned laboratory. Broken beakers and shattered test tubes litter the floor, glinting menacingly in the beam of your torch. The air hangs heavy with the smell of dust and something else… something metallic and unpleasant.

Phineas’s hushed voice breaks the silence, "What do you think happened here?"

You shrug, panning the light across the room. It looks like a violent struggle took place. A dark, rust-colored stain mars the wall.

A sudden, high-pitched squeak makes you spin around. It’s Phineas, trying to open a cabinet. He gives you a sheepish grin.

"Maybe we should go back. This place is giving me the creeps."

You nod in agreement. Phineas pulls out the dimensional remote, the device you built together to travel between dimensions.

As he fumbles with it, a shadow shifts in your peripheral vision. You swing the torch beam towards it, but see nothing. "Ferb-" a thud, followed by a scream that freezes your blood. Phineas!
