"The Shaded Realm...? I mean, I guess that'd explain the people in Hypnoshades, but why is the place so... strange?" Matt thought to himself as he looked around, and checked if he suffered any damage. None, thankfully, and he decided to go further. The anatomy of the area was odd, with the buildings seemingly going past the sky, the street signs made no sense, and the lights were very blinding, even with the Aviators this time. He tried to ask someone where he was, other than this dimension. He tapped a shaded Inkling on the shoulder and tried to ask. "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am right now?" But instead of replying, the shaded girl just looked at him from head to toe, and spoke in a language he couldn't understand. It was all very confusing. This place is like a very synthetic and neon Inkopolis, and yet he still couldn't understand it. Suddenly, the big monitor that was like the one from his dimension turned on, and on it was AC-Lux. "Everyone! We have a fugitive on the loose! He's an outsider from another dimension, and he poses a major threat to us!" She announced with a booming voice, before a picture of Matt flashed on the screen. Suddenly, everyone in the area looked at him, and even with their Hypnoshades on, Matt could tell their eyes were piercing him, like sharp knives. A pack of drones and what looked like police showed up across the place he was, and Matt's first instinct was to... "FUCKING RUN!" Matt thought to himself, and he did.

The chasers were in cars and on foot, while Matt was just running like a Joestar. He was able to run fast enough to lose them, but once he took a break, someone came to him. They didn't seem to wish to harm him, yet Matt didn't let his guard down. They tried to speak, but it was obvious Matt couldn't understand him. He gave Matt a bracelet, which, when he put it on, added a UI to his shades. "Translator Bracelet equipped. Adding new language... Synthspeak added to database. Translating audio..." The UI disappeared, and the Inkling spoke again. "Can you hear me now?" "Yeah, I can understand you. Thanks." Matt replied. "What are you people?" "We're people of the Shaded Realm. This place has been under the control of AC-Lux for... no one knows how long. We're not even sure how she's still alive after all these years. And I know you're here because you're after her. But if you're gonna defeat her, you'll need a few things." 

"Like what? Is it a new gun?" Matt asked. "No, not a gun. You're gonna need a turntable, a pair of headphones, beats, and an outfit. Because the one you're wearing right now isn't gonna cut it." Matt was a bit irritated about that comment, but he understood that his clothes weren't good enough for this dimension. "Here's a list of the items, and where you're gonna find them." Instead of a regular paper, it was a flash drive. He brought a laptop out of his pocket somehow, and plugged it in. The shaded inkling was a bit confused. "Where did you get that?" "I don't know. I just stuff things into my pocket and they fit somehow." "But that was a laptop!" "Look buddy, even I don't know." The discussion ceased, and Matt scanned the drive. He uploaded everything into his shades, and put the laptop back. "Anything else I need to know?" Matt asked the inkling one last question. "Never fall for the spell of her beats. They work in mysterious ways, and can brainwash you." Matt looked left to right, then nodded. Afterwards, he ran ahead, to look for the first item: The Headphones.
