Surrounded by a spectrum of colours, Ethan & Tony were warping through the quantum rift and into the quantum realm. They felt weird as they were freaking out while being transported through the quantum realm at high speed. What they saw was amazing and trippy, it was as if they were traveling through the cosmos seeing things not known to man. Ethan then saw a green orb that looked like a green star, he tried touching it as he felt it calling to him, but was abruptly pulled away from it. They reached a point where everything was different from the norm as if they shifted into a new dimension. They continued to travel at high speed through the quantum realm then they collided through a quantum rift and emerged into a whole new world.

“Wha-…what happened, where are we?” murmured Ethan as he was recovering from what just happened.

Tony recovered a lot quicker than Ethan as he got up and looked around to see where they were.

“Tony, how are you not nauseous from all that G-force? Oh wait, never mind… can you tell me where we are?” asked Ethan while lying on the ground recovering.

“At the moment no… but I can tell you that we’re definitely not in our home world, the technology here is so… primitive. I’m hacking a satellite to gain data about this world,” said Tony.

“Wait, it’s that primitive that even you can hack it? Damn, that’s sad.”

Through AR, Tony was typing and hacking a satellite while Ethan was getting up after recovering from G-Force, he looked around and marveled at the scenery, “When was the last time we saw a view this natural, it’s…beautiful” They were standing on a plateau where they could see the blue sky and the landscape which was filled with steep hills, green vegetation, and flowers of different colours. "This place has a lot of quantum rifts, I wonder why? Maybe a lot of people from my world must’ve teleported to this area. Strange, some of the quantum rifts here seem connected. Wait, are those Quantum footprints?"

“Got it! From what the data says here, this world is in a post-apocalyptic state. For five years now, AI robots have been ruling over this world. Humanity is about to be extinct as robots are currently hunting down the last thousand humans,” said Tony.

Ethan was shocked as he processed what Tony just said, “Well this is interesting, AI has taken over this world… why am I not surprised.”

“It seems that Nano Industries is leading the rebellion against the AI robots,” said Tony.

“Nano Industries??? Wait, they exist here too?” asked Ethan.

“Yes, the data states that Nano Industries is one of the best tech companies in this world,” said Tony

“Just like in our world… Are you a hundred percent sure this world isn’t ours?” asked Ethan.

“Yes, this world is completely different from our home world, the technology, the structure of this world, the lifeforms, almost everything is different. It’s just that the people are similar,” said Tony.

“I see, so there’s no chance that we went back into the past,” said Ethan.

“Our world has never had technological warfare that was between humans and robots nor has it been through an apocalypse so the likelihood of us being in the past is very low if not zero,” said Tony.

“If that’s the case, then our lead right now is Nano Industries,” said Ethan

“Why?” asked Tony

“Because you just confirmed that we’re in another world and since that is confirmed then what are the chances that in another world in another dimension, a company called Nano Industries exists similar to ours… the brand is exactly the same as our world’s one,” said Ethan.

“That is true, but the CEO of the company is different from the one in our world,” said Tony

“Of course it is, it’s easier to hire multiple managers to manage your business in different worlds than managing a whole multidimensional business all by yourself,” said Ethan

“So you’re saying that someone is controlling these CEOs?” askedony.

“Yes, well that is my theory at least. We’ll have to investigate to find out if it’s true,” said Ethan.

Tony detected something, “Oh no.”

“What?” asked Ethan.

“It seems we have been located by the AI robots,” said Tony.

“Located? How di-… you imbecilic rookie, how could you not secure your hacking route, now we have to deal with hostiles,” said Ethan.

“(Awkwardly chuckles) Don’t worry, I’ll take care of them,” said Tony.

“Of course you will, where are they anyway?” asks Ethan.

“They should be… behind us”

They both instantly looked back and saw a swarm of peculiar-looking robots flying towards them. “How interesting, those robots are all shaped like spheres and cubes. (Scans the robots) Their energy source is electricity and their internal designs are fascinating. Be wary of the cubes, they have a strong electromagnetic field inside them,” said Ethan.

“Okay,” said Tony as the robots stopped in front of Tony & Ethan.

“Surrender human and your life may be spared… (Turns to Tony) You, why are you with the human alone and what prototype are you, your model is different from the elite robots,” said one of the robots.

“Me? Oh I’m nothing like your kind,” said Tony as he pulled an energy sword from his sleeves and tossed it to Ethan then swiftly charged at the robots at inhuman speed.

Tony attacked the robots with his bare hands and destroyed every robot that he came across. The sphere robots brought out their machine guns and shot at Tony & Ethan, Tony was unaffected by the bullets as they couldn’t pierce through Tony’s skin. “Let’s see if my simulation training paid off,” said Ethan as he activated his hover sneakers and energy sword causing the blade to turn into focused plasma. As shots were being fired at him, he used his special contact lens to predict the path of the bullets and used the hover shoes to swiftly dodge the bullets then rapidly attack the robots with his plasma sword like it was his simulation training.

Ethan & Tony had insane agility and were obliterating the robots until the cube robots became offensive, eight cube robots powered up their electromagnetic cores and surrounded Tony who didn’t notice this move. When the cubes were in formation, they activated an electromagnetic field and formed an electromagnetic barrier around Tony which entrapped him within the barrier. Tony was surprised by this, he tried punching through the barrier but it did not affect it. “Well this is bad, I can’t get out from the inside. Ethan must try something from the outside. ETHAN!!!!” shouted Tony.

“WHAT???” shouted Ethan.

“A little help here!” said Tony.

“Why do I always have to save you,” Ethan sighed while he was dodging the attacks of the robots.

He then scanned the barrier Tony’s in, “Nice, an electromagnetic barrier created by those eight cube robots… so destroying one of those cubes should dismantle the barrier,” said Ethan to himself as he pulled out a plasma gun from his jacket. His special contact lenses were wirelessly linked with his plasma gun allowing him to have auto aim. Once the plasma gun was powered up, he quickly aimed at one of the cube robots and shot it destroying it completely. The barrier disappeared, “Yeah! Thanks, Ethan.”

Tony continued his frenzy by first destroying the cube robots and then the sphere robots. In a matter of moments, Tony had destroyed the rest of the robots.

“Hehe, that takes care of that,” said Tony.

“Next time, leave the hacking to me, otherwise you're going to get us killed if not caught,” said Ethan.

“Come on, it was just one mistake,” said Tony.

“A mistake that could’ve gott-”

CRASH!!!

Ethan was interrupted by an explosion or something that seemed like an explosion, a strong force from the so-called explosion pushed Tony and Ethan off their feet, and dust distorted the air as the explosion caused a tremor to occur too. The ground was quaking and cracking which made Tony get up and move swiftly to more stable ground while Ethan hovered above the chaos.

“Tony? Tony, are you alright?”

“Yeah I’m fine, what’s happening?” asked Tony.

“I don’t know, it felt like something heavy hit the ground behind us. I’m scanning for the cause,” said Ethan.

Ethan scanned the area, “Okay I see you, and then there’s…”

“What? There’s what?” asked Tony.

“Sweet nanny of Christmas...”

“Huh? Ethan! What is it?!”

“Tony, turn to your right and run.”

“Run? Why?”

“JUST RUN YOU IMBECILE!!!”

Tony ran as fast as he could while Ethan followed him with his hover shoes, they soon got out of the smokescreen. “Why are we fleeing,” asked Tony.

“Look behind you dude.”

Tony looked behind then looked up and saw a massive robot standing in the smokescreen with its head peeking out on top of the smokescreen. After seeing the colossal robot, “Oh my, we’re screwed,” Tony said as he increased his speed and his body switched from fight to flight mode.
