After getting to their feet and looking around, the duo realized that they had absolutely no idea where they were. From the looks of their surroundings, they were in the middle of some kind of snowy forest. This whole situation immediately reminded Valkyrie of the one time she was shunted into another dimension. She didn’t like it then and she didn’t like it now. Before either of them could understand what was going on or why they were here, they noticed that on the ground in front of each of them was a note and a collection of 5 tokens. Reading the note only increased their confusion. [color=green]”What the hell is this? Do you have any idea on what’s happening?”[/color] Valkyrie asked, turning to Skulduggery. [color=purple]”Well, no.This is highly unusual indeed. But that doesn’t mean we should just stand around and do nothing. Searching around is our best bet at finding out what’s going on.”[/color] With that said, both of them pocketed the tokens and the note just in case they might need them.The two began searching around the woodlands to see if they could potentially find someone or something that could give them any hint at where they were. [color=green]”This is just what I need. Thrust into another possibly dangerous situation where we could most surely die horribly. Oh, and of course you’re here too.”[/color] [color=purple]”That’s the spirit, Valkyrie. I’m positive that your need to complain about the situation we are in will definitely get us out of this mess. Now, be quiet and keep looking around.”[/color] [color=green]”Shut up.”[/color] Valkyrie mumbled under her breath before inevitably complying and continuing to search the environment. [center][h1][color=9e0b0f]Darth Vader[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] The Sith Lord slowly rose to his feet, noticing that his surroundings were entirely unfamiliar. He was seemingly in a desert and he immediately thought himself to somehow have been transported to Tatooine but upon looking around more carefully, he realised this to not be the case. He had no memory at all on how he ended up here and thought this to be very unusual. Was this some form of Jedi trick? A dream, perhaps? No, he would notice if that were to be true. This was something else. Vader had been separated from the Empire and for all he knew, the world he once inhabited. There were four different directions he could take currently. In front of him was what seemed to be a city. Although, it was unlike any city he had ever seen before. To his left was a forest covered in snow. Looking at it from a distance he was reminded of the woodlands of Endor. To his right was an old stone fortress. And lastly, behind him was a building with a large neon sign that read “Devil May Cry” on it. Vader quickly deduced that because of all the different and varying locations that other people might have been transported here too. The Sith Lord decided that the best course of action would be to head towards the city as that was the place that is the most technologically advanced out of all of them. Before he could begin on his way there, he stopped when he almost stood on top of a note and 5 tokens of the ground of the desert. Thinking this is no coincidence, he picked up and put away the tokens while reading the note. This situation was starting to become stranger and stranger. With this new information regarding the tokens in mind, Vader now began his trip to the city he could see off in the distance in front of him.
