📍 Tell me, have you figured out the secret of warping yet? I don't know what you mean, babe. Like, how to do it without losing your hair?
That's not what I meant and you know it. Can't you be serious about something for once? If you want to know, I'd be happy to tell you. All you have to do is ask.
Well, thanks but no thanks, baby. Secrets are more fun when you find them out for yourself.
I've done a lot of thinking and I've made my decision. You want to be with Paul. Hey Catherine, so does this mean What? Nothing.
It doesn't matter.
Fleet, sir. Are you absolutely sure this is the place, Bea? I don't see anything of note, just an average looking planet. According to the space radar, it's definitely coming from within this sector. Our instruments are picking up a spatial distortion that's producing an enormous amount of energy. There doesn't appear to be anything unusual here.
Yes, but one might say that is what's unusual, Doctor. Is that your convoluted way of implying Dandy might be to blame? I can't say yet. At this point, there's only one thing I know for certain. The source of the energy anomaly is not on the planet's surface. It's actually right here. But how is that possible when there aren't any spaceships or satellites nearby?
We're getting super high energy readings just off the planet. I think something's about to warp, sir. Its mass and energy are both beyond measurement.
Wait, that's unknown. Save for a twitch. And it's growing by the second!
Wait, it can't be! Another universe?! The Unknown Mass is headed straight for our ship! Then get us out of here now! There's no time! AHHHHH! Ughh,
ugh! I wonder if warping is really as bad for you as they say it is. Because I'm feeling awfully sluggish. I bet anybody would feel that way after doing it as many times as we did. Well, it's not like we had a choice. That dumb alien kept warping away from us.
Alert. May I have your attention, please? An emergency order was issued today at 2PM Universal Time. A 2D universe has materialized near planet Abbott. A whole universe? Warped into ours? The gogol imperial space force has dispatched a fleet to prevent the 2d universe from advancing. However, Their efforts have thus far had little effect on this invader
Wow, I had no idea the whole universe is good war. I don't get why it came here I mean if I could go anywhere, this is the last place i'd pick. Yeah Maybe it thinks our universe is cute and wants to get to know it better. Hey, you dummies quit goofing off already. Let's go. Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine today?
Let me guess, you've got a bug up your nose because we've been warping so much. It's either that or you've got a bug up your butt. You should be excited. I bet you that universe is full of rare aliens. I don't know about that, but it's definitely full of bad memories. You've been there before? What's it matter to you?
Look, there's a lot you guys don't know about my past, and I'm trying my damnedest to forget about it. You're not running from that universe, are you? Who, Dandy? What gave you that silly idea? It's not silly. Think about it. Why else would it warp its way here? It's gotta be chasing after something. That makes no sense.
What would a universe be chasing? A mini verse, maybe?
Bastard.
Dandy. Yeah, I thought it was you. Hello, Catherine. Huh? Um, who are you talking to, Dandy? Some kind of invisible alien? I can't believe you'd be so cold after all this time. Whoa, what kind of alien is that? How many years has it been, Catherine? You know I can't answer that. We fourth dimensionals live in a different time than you, so it's impossible for me to say.
Yeah, I remember now. Hey, what's a fourth dimensional? A being from the fourth dimension? That's all I've got.
Warp complete, sir. And what is our position now? We are inside the 2D universe. You're pathetic. Would you quit whining, B? What did you think was going to happen? You do realize that warping is nothing more than a method of moving through the universe, don't you? Well, yes, but I'm worried we might not be able to get back.
I have to be completely honest with you. Sometimes your idiocy amazes me. The 2D universe was able to warp into ours, so there must be a way to move between them. Good to hear, but we'd better move quickly. There's something off about this universe. I can't explain it. Hmm. Would you look at that. The energy anomaly exists in this universe as well.
Wow! That's so cool! I can't believe the two of you were an item back in the day. So tell me, what was it like being Dandy's girlfriend, Miss Catherine? Such a cute and spunky young lady, isn't she? Is she your current girlfriend? That's the funniest thing I've heard today! Is it just me or is this kind of weird?
I don't understand Dandy's taste in women one bit. Hey man, shoot straight with me. What do you think of that Catherine broad? Do you think she's hot? Honestly, she just looks like a box to me. Okay, just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one. So Dandy and this other guy were fighting over you? That's so romantic!
I want to hear all about it! Well, that's all in the past. So, uh, I'm guessing that you chose the other guy, huh? Knock it off, would ya? Enough with the questions. What's the harm, Dandy? After all, it's ancient history. We realized that the world we lived in was simply too different. Mismatched personalities, huh?
Sounds more like mismatched dimensions. And Paul, whatever happened with him? We broke up. When he became successor to the throne, his personality changed. And not for the better. Wait, this Paul guy is a freaking prince? Why would you ever break up with him? It's complicated. He's a second dimensional, and I'm a fourth dimensional.
No. The two dimension difference was just too much for us. I don't get it, do you? I think what she's saying is that to a fourth dimensional, a second dimensional looks like, well, like a straight line would look to us. So, Catherine, what do you want? For old times sake, I want you to send Paul and his universe back to where they belong.
He can't go on disturbing the cosmos like this. He spent an entire decade looking for a way to find me. But I never wanted to be found.
Multiple ships of unknown origin ahead! It appears they have a defense fleet ready to attack. Who'd have thought that being sucked into 2D with that energy anomaly would be a good thing? I suspect that fleet is defending the drive which allows their universe to warp. If that's true, sir, then we can go back home if we destroy it, right?
I don't know. Huh? It's possible that destroying the Drive could cause this universe to be annihilated. There's also the chance that its destruction could leave us stranded here in 2D forever. I don't understand why you're getting yourself so worked up about this. Are you kidding me? I don't understand how you can be so calm about it.
Don't you know that the happiest moments in a scientist's life are when they come face to face with the unknown? We spend our entire lives searching for it. Why worry about my fate and ruin such a joyous occasion?
The third block! The enemy fleet is ramping up their attack! We can't do much to camouflage ourselves, we're two dimensional. But I suppose the same can be said of our enemy. At this point, all we can do is continue to press on towards their warp drive!
Are you angry, Dandy? No, of course I'm not. You look angry. I told you I'm not, just drop it, okay? You're such a softy. I knew you wouldn't be able to turn down a request from an ex. So she's a woman from his past. Looks like some kind of futuristic box. Jeez, I thought cats and robots were supposed to be smart, but you guys don't have a clue.
Are you a stowaway? Well, yeah. I want to meet that Paul guy. He might be my prince. Why chase rare aliens when you can just marry royalty? Sorry for stowing away, but this might be my chance to meet Prince Charming. Here's something for you to think about. What? If Paul is one of Dandy's old friends, then that means he's gotta be getting up there in age.
So what? I've got no problem with dating an older man. Do you really think a guy who warped his entire universe to try to win back his ex girlfriend is gonna turn around and dump her for some chick he's never met? Maybe. You never know what such a passionate man might do.
Tell me something. Have you figured out the secret of warping yet? Why do you ask? Did you tell Paul? Well, considering the way he warped into your universe, I'd say it's rather obvious that he knows something. Catherine You and I are on two completely different planes. I still remember what happened in the past.
But you don't, do you?
The fighters near the warp drive have started to move. It appears to be a defensive maneuver. I guess that means we've been spotted. Well, it certainly took them long enough. The route starts to get narrow up ahead. We'll be making contact with the enemy's defensive line soon.
Okay, listen up. We've got to stop this ruthless bastard, and by bastard, I mean Paul. I'm thinking we should go to him and hash this out directly. What do you mean by go to him? We can't just search the universe. Even in 2D, it's still a big place. Catherine here knows where to find him. Since he's in a 2D universe, his forces won't be able to attack us while we're on the outside.
So it should be pretty easy for us to get in. Paul knows this too, which is why he's already begun rolling up the fabric of his universe. Huh? But how is that even possible? Well, it's 2D, so it's kind of like folding a piece of paper. He'll be on the interior end. The what? The space between the universe layers is very narrow, so we won't be able to reach him by flying in from the side.
Our only choice is to be drawn into the universe and search from within. Screw that psycho stalker. He's just making this tough because it's me. Oh, I know! Hey, Dandy! Man, I really hate the 2D universe. The ceilings are low and it's hard to fight. Yeah, but it's still better than a 1D universe. I've got an idea!
Yoo hoo! How can you be sure we're not gonna get crushed when that thing sucks us up? He's got a point. Seems like it would make our insides pop out. Um, hello? What? Is there something you'd like to add, honey? Why don't we just poke right through?
That's it! Okay,
here we go! About
to get Nero! Looks like it's now or never, Dandy! Hold tight, everyone. Boom! Let's go.
Let's do this, baby.
Cut through!
To 2D. Powerful shockwave is approaching. Just what do you mean by shockwave? Look, it's creating a fissure in space, sir.
It's huge. Yeah, you can see everything looking down at it like this.
Hey QT, zoom in on that big square. Give me a second. You mean right here?
He
hasn't changed, has he? Huh? He's just a rectangle with a crown? Yeah, he's a two dimensional. What'd you expect? I thought that he was my Prince Charming, but I can't marry a rectangle. Wow, you can't see everything from up here. Two dimensionals don't even realize they're visible like this. Can't quite get their heads around the idea.
Once we destroy their warp drive, the 2D universe should immediately go back to where it came from on its own. You're right. Are you sure you don't want to see Paul? Yeah, I'm old now. I'd rather he remember me the way I was.
I found something that looks suspicious. Do you think this could be their warp drive?
Range, 1600 to the warp drive. I'm picking up some kind of transmission, sir. Well then, let's hear what they have to say.
Catherine! If you're the one who's about to destroy the drive, please listen to me first. I was wrong about everything. Please come back to me.
My beloved Catherine, I'm willing to renounce my claim to the throne and leave this universe behind to be with you!
Catherine? Probably just interference from a TV Soap Opera. We don't have time to worry about it right now. Target acquired. What are your orders, sir? All weapons fire! That was a direct hit!
It can't be! Is that a 1D universe? A massive object has headed toward the ship! Not again! As if going 2D wasn't bad enough, now we're going 1D! Ah! Ah! Ah!!!
Did it self destruct on its own? Oh! What's gonna happen to my rectangle prints? So Catherine, did you do this? No. I had nothing to do with it. But I Why? I could have sworn that I heard Paul's voice calling out to me.
Paul sealed a 1D universe in a box to harness its power. He then used that power to warp his 2D universe into your own. And are you the one who gave Paul that crazy idea? Wouldn't you like to know? So now that it's been 10 years, why don't you tell me? Have you figured out the secret of warping yet? Yeah.
The secret is warping doesn't exist. That's right. We travel through the space between universes, and for some strange reason we decided to call it warping. Suppose that there's a world in this universe, and then a similar world in another one, and both have the same stuffed animal lying around. Here's where it gets tricky.
At some point, the stuffed animal here will sense this is me. Do you get what I'm saying? And the next moment, the stuffed animal there will sense this is me. That's all it is, baby. True, but you forgot to mention that you can't sense the switching between universes. Ain't that the truth. I guess, it's different for you, huh?
Yes, it is. From my perspective, Dandy before warping and Dandy after warping are two completely different people. Which means, you're not the Dandy I fell in love with. Yeah, I know. Even though you're still the same Catherine that I fell in love with. You knew that and you helped me anyway. Thank you. So about Paul There's no need to worry.
He's alive still. That's not what I'm talking about, Catherine. Hm. I see. You want to know why I chose Paul. You were able to figure out the secret of warping all by yourself, Dandy. On the other hand I knew that Paul would be lost without me.
Doctor, I'm picking up a high energy reading dead ahead. We're not going to be able to avoid it! Another energy anomaly? What could it be? I think that it's a zero D universe warping out, sir! What?! Zero dimensions?! Hey, Evelyn. What's going on with me in your world? Let me take a peek. Hey, Evelyn. There are so many worlds in your world.
I don't quite understand. Nyan, nyan, nyan, nyan. Hi, Dandy. Nyan, nyan, nyan, nyan. Hey. Nyan, nyan, nyan, nyan. Hi, Dandy. Nyan, nyan, nyan, nyan. The overlapping worlds are always parallel.
