Q-Lok appeared in the middle of a strange desert. It was completely flat except for some mountains in the far distance.

"Where am I?" he asked, even though he didn't see anybody who might be able to
answer his question. In fact, he only expected the echo and move back effect where the question was repeated while the camera jumped back repeatedly.

After the camera focused back on him he started looking around. There was absolutely nothing to decorate the landscape, no cacti or anything of the sort. He was just wondering if he could move himself to anther place when something zipped past his face leaving a metal bar in it's wake. In the direction the thing had come from, a demia was inspecting the metal bar as it moved closer to Q-Lok.

It took Q-Lok a few minutes to figure out which demia it was inspecting the bar because there were too many to sort through, and even then he had to ask the demia its name.

"Oh, my name is RAiL." It seemed rather focused on the metal bar. Eventually, it realized that Q-Lok was standing nearby. "Why are you here?"

"Because I'm asleep and dreaming about this place, which is where, exactly?"

"Oh, right. This is the Bunnetvilla Dream Flats. The place where new vehicles are tested.

"Hey boss! How does it look?" A strange dream being came from the direction that the thing went. Q-Lok had no idea what this being was. It appeared to be made of the same metal as the bar.

"Not bad, not bad." RAiL said to the being. "Next, we'll try 'loop-dee-loops'."

"I'm very confused now. What the freak is going on here?! Who or what is this thing?" he pointed at the metal being. It was in the shape of a nearly 2 dimensional humanoid, with a circular head, a single metal bar as a torso and other metal bars connected to it representing arms and legs.

"Allow me," the being said. "I am a STiCKMAN." It took a bow, which looked very odd to Q-Lok. "A being created by RAiL to be used for whatever task is deemed appropriate."

"It's only a prototype though," RAiL interrupted STiCKMAN, "I only created it to do tasks that I'm too lazy to do myself. Which brings me to what I'm doing here. You know those rails in that one place, Stick Canyon?"

"Oh, yeah. Those really bugged me at first because I'd get on them, and midway through I'd run out of time, turn back into that stupid kid, and fall off flailing like an idiot at the end.

"Er, right. Sure." RAiL clearly didn't understand, but wasn't going to pursue the matter further. "Anyway, I was asked to build another one of those in a different area, but I don't want to, so I built a machine to do it for me and a rider to operate it. This is their 'Shakedown Cruise'."

"The problem is," STiCKMAN said pointingly, is that creating the bike and I took more energy than actually building the new rails yourself.

"Shut up!" RAiL proceeded to slap STiCKMAN's head causing it to rotate 180 degrees. STiCKMAN didn't bother to move it back.

"Look, this is very enteresting and all, but is anything else going to happen or can I wake up now?"

"Well, you could try riding the bike if you want. I don't mind."

"OK."

All 3 of them headed over to the 'bike' as RAiL called it. As they approached it, Q-Lok noticed something odd about it. It looked like a normal motorcycle except...

"It has square wheels. Whose bright idea was it to build a bike with square wheels?"

"Wheels? What wheels?" RAiL looked at the bike and finally said, "Oh, you mean the in-flight stabilizers. It doesn't roll along the ground, it flies. How else am I suposed to get the rails in the air if this is on the ground. Here, I'll explain how to work it. Just get on."

TiME WARP!! (doo-dee-doo-doo, doo-dee-doo-doo)

RAiL was watching Q-Lok run the bike. He didn't like what he saw.

RAiL: "This is not what I had in mind."
Q-Lok: "AAAAAAGH!"
STiCKMAN: (chasing bike) "Hey wait for me!"
Q-Lok: "I can't slow this [bleep]ing thing down!"
STiCKMAN: "I can't hear what you're saying! Slow down so I can hear you!"

You could almost see RAiL's non-existant veins starting to burst through his helmeted head.
