Given how the Cadet had been recently enlightened as to exactly the kind of situation the multiple worlds were in, it really shouldn't have been that surprising to him when the Guildmaster pulled off his cloak and opened up a portal beneath the crew gathered in the guild hall. Then again, it was only [i]yesterday[/i] - so, understandably, Ace Cadet was a little taken aback by the sudden developments and plummeted down into the newly opened hole in the floor. Thankfully, falling was something the young man was [i]very[/i] familiar with. After the blur of colors passed by and the ground came up, Cadet rolled his landing and popped back onto his feet. A semi-soft surface, that was nice!

The view? Not quite as nice. Some kind of gambling den, with giant skeletons and over-sized, well, everything. 

[color=salmon]"Whoa, spooky!"[/color] the Cadet said, [color=salmon]"Everybody okay?"[/color]

It didn't appear that anyone was injured, so the hunter turned his attention to the gigantic dice-faced man. Apparently, 'Gneidxick' was the Guildmaster's true form somehow. How did he fit underneath that cloak?? Dude was huge! Before Cadet could confront him, the Courier and Bowser had some offers to make him. Offers that he didn't end up taking, although the relatively light mood had the hunter chuckling at the proposed counter-deals. As the Courier was swept off and his robot and Geralt followed him, Cadet scratched the back of his head.

[color=salmon]"So basically, we just have to battle some guys? No problem, right?"[/color] a small grin spread on his face as he reasoned that jumping right into a portal was probably the right thing to do. He was preparing to do just that when the Koopa prince joined them, looking different but also pretty familiar. Was he sporting a Brachy horn? He was distracted watching the father and son get a grip on Jr.'s new slime-based powers. So that was the result of fusing with a spirit? They could be crushed into weapons, kept as partners, or absorbed - Cadet filed in the info away, but all that really came to his mind was, [color=salmon]"[i]Radalos![/i] You're like a mini-monster! You gotta let me get a closer look when we're outta this place!"[/color]

He watched the Koopa group go off into a portal and lined himself up with one at the same time. He'd seen first hand how competent the others were, and as long as whatever was waiting on the other side wasn't some huge impossible fight, it should be okay to split up. As Tora and Poppi went off, Cadet looked over his shoulder at Peach and Hat Kid and give the ladies a two-finger salute and a smile before he jumped into a portal.
