The biggest one being Cadet sending out these little bugs to apparently mark Blazermate, Sectonia and a few others. Funnily enough, Blazermate was the one to react negatively to the bugs sniffing her, freaking out as they buzzed around her and crawled on her. Sectonia however didn't care, as weird as it was, this was pretty close to what happened before this, world of discord. Although she didn't enjoy the 'sniffing' bit, which was kind of akward. All while Peach gave a speech which both ladies weren't that inspired by, more so because Blazermate was already ready and Sectonia didn't care much for someone telling her what to do. With everyone prepared, they stepped or flew through the portal. Although instead of seeing the maze that Bowser said they'd see, they were on a flying island with lots of other islands surrounding it. The black sky was the most offputting thing though, as if they were in space. [color=0072bc]"OK, this is weird..."[/color] Blazermate said. [color=92278f]"Didn't you say this would be a maze?"[/color] Sectonia said to Bowser, her annoyance at his disinformation competing with her relief of not having to solve a maze. Soon however, the black static like beings moving around the island soon came for them. Or at least, the ones that Tora looked at. Seeing them under attack, Blazermate summoned Dell, the Engineer getting busy to make his buildings to give them a defensive point, before putting her healing beam on the paniced Tora to calm him down. Sectonia meanwhile stood back a bit to observe what was actually happening with Tora and this thing. It was curious that there were other creatures like this in the distance, but they weren't attacking. At least, not until Sectonia locked eyes with one, the creature teleporting at her in anger and attacking with Sectonia pulling out her swords and trading blows with this sudden attack. Dell, having built a level 1 sentry, didn't even look at anything but his buildings, them being his only concern. The sentry shot at whatever of these creatures was closer, plunking away at it with its bullets as it got upgraded.
