The rocks were indeed able to be jumped on, but they were likely to be slipped on. It didn't seem to be much help regardless, as Kirby was not able to hover over the invisible wall and Elliot's lightning bolts hit the wall when he tested it on the areas around the bridge. When Emily grabbed his hand, he shot her a glare. "Are you suggesting...?"

The dog was spooked at first by Elliot, but seemed drawn to Emily when she called it over. The dog managed to pass through the barrier just fine, though once it was near Elliot and Emily, Elliot looked down as if it was a threat. "Anything is possible here," he said to her. "Amazing, but dangerous."

Kirby gently floated back down to the bridge and tried to pet the dog.

"Good to see you're ready as always, Sergeant." Green Heart exclaimed in response to Sarge coming over to the Left Group. If he were to notice, he wasn't exactly talking to the same playful Vert anymore as she was quite serious in this form.



"Indeed. I remember my first time exploring the forests of Leanbox when I had my first days as a Goddess. It's certainly going to help me quite a bit when keeping an eye out for danger, as monsters roaming around Gamindustri is a common occurrence that Goddesses take care of. Hopefully we should be clear so long as no one does anything reckless."

"Ah~ I don't believe we've had the pleasure of introductions. However I believe you'd agree with me when I say that perhaps now is not the best time to introduce, and rely mostly on our abilities to survive in this simulation."



"Unfortunately the Omni-Tool I obtained from Liara does not transfer over to my transformed state, however it should return to me once I downgrade. None the less, it's good to see we have some ranged potential, Starscream. Keep our backs covered, would you?" Green Heart responded to Starscream with a smile as he joined the group. If he were to also notice, she was more serious and mature in this form rather than as Vert.

"Hmm... Interesting. Most of these citizens just walk about their day as if nothing unusual has happened. This is quite the bizarre simulation if they were to respond as if we were normal people, which evidently we are not."

"We might need to work on your obsession with killing anything that wears the colour blue, Sergeant. Not everything that is blue coloured are hostile, you know." Green Heart stated with a sigh as she listened to him ramble on again about killing every blue in existence. "I'd hate to see what your response would be when meeting Noire or even Blanc..."

“What?! That’s crazy talk! Anything and anyone that’s Blue is the enemy! Why would you even say such— unless...” Sarge paused for a moment and narrowed his eyes behind his helmet.

“You’re not the real Vert...”

Sarge then proceeded to slowly circle Vert as he aimed his rifle at her chest. “The Blues clearly kidnapped the original Vert at some point before we entered this box and replaced her with this treacherous robotic copy, which explains the change of outfit!

You thought that you could use your sweet talk to get me to trust the Blues, but it’ll take more than that to pull one over on ‘ole Sarge!”

As the dog appeared to be able to pass through the wall, Grif suddenly got an idea.

“Hey uh... Kirby. That was your name, right?” Grif asked. Whether or not he got a response, he’d continue.

“Why don’t you try inhaling that dog? Maybe if you can copy its powers or whatever you can go through the wall.”

"*Sigh* Sargeant, you clearly were not paying attention during that moment where we tried to break open that door in the Discovery's Hanger Bay, or when I explained my origins when we were waiting for our diplomats." Green Heart exclaimed with a deep sigh as she was forced into a predicament involving Sarge and his obsessions. "You clearly don't have much in the way of remembrance if you believe that I am not the same Vert you know from the Discovery. Remember the long checklist of things you requested to be built and created for Leanbox?"

"We do not have time for this." Green Heart responded angrily as she clearly did not want to deal with this right now. "If you truly believe that I am not the same, then fine. But I will not allow for this senseless act of assumption to get in the way of what possible dangers are lurking around here."

The dog seemed cautious of Kirby, but politely let the pink puff pet him.

Elliot shot Mizelia a reproachful look. "I do not see your point, considering the situation. We have already seen anomalies that defy reality in here." He looked down at the dog let itself be pet. "It is an odd sight to see in a forest."
"That is at least what you think is an odd sight. We know almost nothing of this virtual reality and absolutely nothing of its creators. What might be unusual for us may be normal for the creators. While caution is needed, there is a point when you're too caution and start to be paranoid." Mizelia said back before looking at the dog "I have never seen a creature that looks like that."

"... Curious," Spock initially said to Titus. The prospect of the pursuit of greater horizons leading civilization into rot and war was unfathomable to Spock, but he dared not deny Titus his beliefs. After all, while the thought may have been illogical to Spock, considering the same pursuit is what propelled his own people, along with many other races, to ascend into greater unity and progress, it was just as simple. Different worlds, different rules.

"I cannot agree based on my own history and experiences, but I shan't undermine your own either. It is not my place, after all, morally or not," the First Officer went on, continuing to ponder on whether or not the Prime Directive applied to cases such as this, but of course, first things first. He had to prioritize.

When it seemed as though Sarge was antagonizing Vert, Spock stepped in, calm and collected as ever, even if his blue shirt seemed likely to set Sarge off (and perhaps Krystal, not that Spock caught on to her plan). "I would advise against anything rash," he warned the red soldier, "Considering the nature of this reality, it is likely your weapon is of no use here, and more than that, your current line of thought is illogical. I suggest clearing your head."

Meanwhile, as Starscream would transform to look around the city, he initially wouldn't find anything of much interest or value. Just a grander sight of the artificial city, beautiful even if hollow. However, after a few moments, Starscream would be able to see something odd; a small distortion in space just a few meters ahead, tall enough to stretch from the sky to the very ground where everyone else was. Whatever this distortion was, perhaps it would be a satisfactory clue as to where to investigate next.

Seeing that the dog could walk through the wall, perhaps Kirby could copy something from the animal. Grif might have had one good idea! He tried to inhale the dog and copy its abilities.

Who knows what would happen?

"Or the Blues wanted you to think Vert was on their side during her change. So they made it seem like she changed so they could get you riled up at her and off your game. Clearly you fell for the trap those damned Blues left you, Sarge! Oh how I hate them... now they've tried to turn us on our own Red allies... even if they aren't wearing red." Krystal said to Sarge.

"It's a dog," James said to Mizelia. "Not my kind of dog, but still pretty cute."

"What is normal for them," Elliot said, "may be dangerous for us." Regardless, Elliot waited patiently to see what happened with the current plan. He was intrigued by Kirby's powers. "So you are able to use the abilities of others... How incredibly useful that would be."

Kirby, at first, adopted a cute little puffy tail, but the same visual distortions that had occurred with the wall happened around Kirby, and soon there were large pink spikes sticking out of his body, pinning him to the ground.

"... Perhaps he can still cross the barrier." Elliot held a hand up to Kirby, ready to knock him into the air with an air blast and send him across the bridge.

"Nor would I,"
Liara replied agreeing with Spock. "Even with the War going on with the Reapers...I can't really imagine your own universe, Titus." She was quiet for a moment before responding. "It sounds like a nightmare."

Alright! Time for Kirby to have the animal-

latest


Er... Needle ability? Well, at least it was a familiar ability for the pink puff. He knew what this ability could do. He attempted to retract the spikes amd walk through the barrier. However, if any of that failed, he would keep the spikes out and signal Elliot to hit hin through the invisible wall.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Jeremi @Donder172 @Raptor Jesus @Alex Azure @York @Space_Candy @Takumi @Lucky @Kaykay @Forest
 
For whatever reason, the spikes were not retracting. Elliot rolled his eyes at Vader's statement and shot Kirby at the barrier. Thankfully, he flew through and landed on the other side of the bridge. From here, Kirby could see a nearby fruit bush displaying the same visual distortions as the barrier.

@Yun Lee @Jeremi @Donder172 @Raptor Jesus @Alex Azure @York @Space_Candy @Takumi @Lucky @Kaykay @Forest
With no other way to move, Kirby released the copied ability. The released power would bounce around as a little star, slightly smaller than Kirby. However, the star distorted each time it hit the ground. It bounced back through the way Kirby came, and in a short time it would disappear.

However, now free to move, Kirby tried to eat one of the fruits from the glitching bush.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Jeremi @Donder172 @Raptor Jesus @Alex Azure @York @Space_Candy @Takumi @Lucky @Kaykay @Forest
 
"This is...peculiar, to say the least." Gakupo observed the goings-on with mild amusement. Nothing could hurt them in this place; it was almost like walking through some funny dream. The antics of various group members helped with that.

@Atomic Knight @Jeremi @Donder172 @Alex Azure @York @Space_Candy @Lucky @Takumi @Josh @Kaykay

"Ooooh...what's that?" Without waiting for an answer, Gumi rushed to the distortion, fascinated by it.

The star looked like a visual anomaly and shifted into a small porcupine before it landed safely on the ground.

As for Kirby, he began to change colors upon eating the fruit.

@Alex Azure

Changing colors was better than being an immobile spike ball. Perhaps this fruit was similar to another fruit that made him change colors? The last time he ate strange fruit, he gained the Hypernova ability, which gave him massive inhaling powers. This most likely wasn't the case, but Kirby decided to be careful when trying to inhale anything else, lest he wanted to eat an entire tree.

latest


Regardless, the rainbow-changing Kirby gathered as many of bush fruits as he could hold and carried them atop his head. If he and the fruits could pass through in this state, perhaps his other friends could eat the fruit and pass through the wall as well.

"Fruit!" Kirby said as he reached the wall, hopefully passing through it.
