Mad Ben isn't done; he takes a running start and leaps at Shantae, black claws aiming to grab her legs.

Risky, watching from above, frowns as she sees this, her eyes narrowing. "Who is that upstart? I don't recognize him at all...and he is very close to being dangerously out of line."

Rottytops, noticing the footsteps as well, turns to look, confused. "Huh?"

Meanwhile...

A portal opens up, and out of it fall two teenage girls in rather similar looking uniforms. The first is wearing a wide-brimmed blue cap with cat ears and a content cat face on it, with the cap having two striped sleeves that cover up the girl's ponytails. She's also wearing a white crop top, a brown backpack with a string hanging off of it - like a parachute pack - black, fingerless gloves with yellow cuffs, a flared-out blue skirt attached to a silver belt, a metal gun holder on her left leg, and brown goggles with green lenses. The second is wearing a similar blue hat with two small ears and long, striped flaps hanging off the sides; the face is completely obscured by the black and yellow goggles she's wearing over her cap. The rest of her outfit consists of an orange shirt with a high collar, bulky blue shoulderpads, and four golden buttons, a blue skirt attached to a golden belt, brown gloves with black cuffs, and long blue boots.

"Agh..." The first girl groans, shaking her head as she gets up on her knees.

The second girl gets up as well, but rather than express her pain, she keeps it together as she pulls out a communicator. "Boss, come in. Boss? You there? Boss...?"

She takes a closer look, and sighs. "Dang it. Thing's busted. No way to contact the boss. What was that anyway?"

"A portal?" The first girl suggests.

"...what?" The second girl blinks, confused.

"A portal. I read up something about it once - they're these gateways that lead from one place to another. Not really something you experience everyday; usually means there's magic shenanigans at foot." The first girl explains.

"...huh. Magical shenanigans? Think the boss will hear about this?" The second girl asks.

"Oh yeah, definitely. Even if we aren't there, he still has Joe. He can tell him just fine." The first girl concludes...then her gaze goes elsewhere. "Think that guy knows where we are?"

"Hm?" The second girl looks behind her to see...a guy with purple skin and a very nice build. No idea who he is.

"Think we should go ask him where we are?" The first girl looks at the second.

"Probably...but we should try to approach slowly, Twitch, we don't want to..." The second girl trails off as she notes that Twitch has gone elsewhere. "...startle him...."

"Hey, purple guy! Look over here!" Twitch yells out as she runs.

"...I really shouldn't be that surprised..." Shaking her head with a small smile, Vinegar, as she is more properly known, cautiously follows her partner.
