Dawko slumps against the wall, clutching his head in disbelief.
'Please tell me that didn't just happen,' Dawko thinks in a panic.
As Dawko reflects on everything, a flashback begins.
During the flashback, Dawko is filming a new video for his fans as he prepares to play a new game.
"What's up, guys?" Dawko asks while donning a virtual reality headset and facing the camera.
"Dawko is back, and I hope you all have a wonderful day!" Dawko says to the camera, smiling.
"I'll be playing Help Wanted today!" Dawko says to his audience as he announces this.
"Scott sent me the game ahead of schedule, and I can't wait to play it!" Dawko yells as he gets ready to play the game.
So Dawko starts the game, and he marvels at the stunning graphics.
"Wow, the graphics in this game are incredible!" Dawko says as he examines the game's graphics.
"I'd like to thank Scott and the team for their efforts on this game," Dawko comments on the game's graphics.
On the other hand, Glitchtrap is watching Dawko from the shadows.
'It's all coming together now,' Glitchtrap thinks, placing tapes in the game for Dawko to find.
'The only thing I have to do now is wait,' Glitchtrap thinks to himself, chuckling.
Glatchtrap goes back to watching Dawko from the shadows.
Meanwhile, back with Dawko, he picks up a tape on the ground.
"I think I have just discovered a tape, and I am willing to bet it's important," Dawko says after picking the tape up.
"I guess I ought to find where I'm supposed to play it," Dawko says, looking around the game hub.
In the hub, Dawko comes across a tape recorder and touches it.
Dawko teleports to the secret room in the game after touching it.
"It looks like I've discovered a secret, everyone!" Dawko exclaims as he glances around the room.
Dawko finds a tape recorder and a shelf on a table.
"The shelf appears to have sixteen empty slots," Dawko says, counting the number of tapes he still needs to locate.
"I believe I just found one of them, so let's all see what this tape tells us!" Dawko says as he inserts the tape into the recorder.
Dawko listens to the tape, which reveals valuable information to him.
"I think I just discovered some lore! This is wonderful!" Dawko exclaims after listening to the tape.
"I think I should keep an eye out for the rest of these tapes," Dawko says as he returns to the main hub.
Dawko realizes that Glitchtrap is watching him from the hub's hallway.
"No need to worry, everyone," Dawko says, trying to calm his nerves.
"I'm sure it's just part of the game," Dawko says, turning his attention to the selection screen.
Dawko glances at the selection screen briefly before saying, "We'll just disregard it and get back to business, folks."
Glitchtrap giggles to himself again as he watches Dawko.
While observing Dawko, Glitchtrap thinks, 'Soon, I will be freed from this place.'
Dawko, on the other hand, ignores Glicthtrap as he makes his decision on the screen.
Dawko enters the level by touching the screen, and he picks up a cassette after entering the level.
Dawko, on the other hand, gets a jump scare from an animatronic later on.
Dawko sighs as he looks at the game over screen in frustration.
"Don't worry, everyone, I'm not going to give up," Dawko assures his audience, not wanting to let them down.
Dawko continues his search for the remaining tapes in the game.
Dawko gets the impression that someone is watching him as he searches for the tapes.
He comes across a glitching bunny figure on some monitors while looking for a tape.
"Greetings, Dawko, no need to be afraid, I'm just here to be your friend," the glitching bunny figure tells Dawko.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Dawko asks the glitching bunny.
"I've been keeping an eye on you, Dawko, and my name is Glitchtrap," the bunny figure responds.
"Hello, nice to meet you, but what do you want from me?" Dawko asks, pondering what Glitchtrap wants.
"I have plans for you, my friend, but first you must locate the last tape," Glitchtrap responds as he explains this to Dawko.
'I got a bad feeling about this, but I guess I'll trust him for now,' Dawko contemplates as he processes what Glitchtrap says.
"Alright, I guess I'll see you around then," Dawko says, waving goodbye to Glitchtrap as he walks away.
Dawko considers removing the VR headset for a moment but decides that he must continue for the sake of his fans.
Dawko considers his fans to be family, and the last thing he wants to do is let them down.
So Dawko starts looking for the last tape, and it takes some time, but he eventually finds it.
Glitchtrap appears in front of Dawko shortly after Dawko finds the last tape.
"You did well, my friend, and now I can explain things to you," Glitchtrap says, smirking.
"All right, so what's the deal?" Dawko asks Glitchtrap as he begins to have second thoughts about everything.
"You see, I need to merge with someone to leave this domain," Glitchtrap says as he approaches Dawko.
"What exactly does merge mean?" Dawko asks as he steps back from Glitchtrap.
"Well, it means that my soul and your soul will collide," Glitchtrap responds, making a collide motion with his hands.
"But what if I don't want our souls to collide?" Dawko inquires as he attempts to exit the game, but is unable to do so.
"It doesn't matter because I will conquer and override," Glitchtrap responds, clutching Dawko's shoulder tightly.
"Now stand still so my soul and your soul will collide," Glitchtrap says, his eyes glowing up as he looks into Dawko's eyes.
Dawko screams as purple veins run through his body and red liquid drips from his nose.
The flashback concludes with Dawko removing the headset in terror, his left eye glowing blue and the other eye glowing purple.
'This isn't happening; I need to wake up!' Dawko thinks as he rushes to the bathroom, splashing water in his face.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and Dawko realizes that this isn't a dream when he tries to pinch himself and it hurts.
"Oh, it's happening, this is who you are now, Dawko," Dawko says abruptly in a glitching voice.
"No, it isn't, and please get out of my body!" Dawko yells as he attempts to punch himself to force Glitchtrap out.
Dawko, on the other hand, realizes that it's pointless because he's only hurting himself.
"There's no need to panic, Dawko; change can be a good thing," Dawko says to himself in a glitching voice.
"How is this a good thing?" Dawko asks, panicking as he returns to his normal voice.
"Don't you see, a change like this can cause your channel to grow," Dawko replies in a glitching voice, pointing this out to himself.
"Do you believe something like this can help my channel grow?" Dawko inquires, a little curiously.
"Yes, Dawko, so why not embrace it?" Dawko asks, pointing this out.
"It's not like you have a choice," Dawko adds in a glitching voice.
Dawko pauses for a moment before smiling wildly.
"You're right, I should embrace this new me, and maybe I can use this new me to help my channel grow," Dawko agrees with himself.
"Yes, Dawko, that's the spirit; now embrace this new side of yourself," Dawko says to himself.
Dawko agrees, and with that, he embraces this new side of himself, as if he's changing into someone else.
"I think we should call ourselves Dawktrap," Dawko says, as the glitching voice and his normal voice mix together.
Dawko is gone, and now Dawktrap takes his place.
