The green substance made quote gasp, throwing his hat up and shake quickly to get it off. His hat landed on a chandelier as quite sighed in relief once he had gotten the last of it of. he aimed and fired at tehc handelier, his hat falling off as he shook the goop off, sighing as his shirt not had a burn mark on it, showing his metal skin.

Quote raised a eyebrow. Whoever was making the sounds, Quote was shaken up by him and started preparing for the worst. "Im more of a in the back shooting kind of guy. If you guys wanna go first, ill give you supporting fire." He nodded, locking his gun Polar Star. 


Quote adjusted his hat and radio antenna ears and looked in the room the voice came from, ready to open fire of white beams from his gun. Quote wasn't quite ready to unleash his missiles or bolts of fire quite yet, but rather simply awaited for the outlook of the enemies.

Already having picked up pace to catch the behemoth of a man her corner turning had been a bit rushed and wide, giving no time to redirect or even attempt avoiding the thrown object. Instantaneous to the resulting burning sensation of the splashed goop Amaterasu's Divine Retribution burst into wild flame around her as she attempted to singe the stuff off of her as quickly as possible. She was really starting to dislike any gooey substances in this world... the wolf flashing back for a second to her arrival. Of course this disruptive surprise caused an abrupt cease in her chase as she attended to the affliction.

Unbeknownst to her though was the short effect of the substance and she may have very well caused her near allies just as much discomfort as the goop. The affected areas still twinged with pain but she calmed her fiery disk and stepped back to begin inspecting the way forward. The goofy figure that entered the hallway, screaming angrily at her and her allies, received a snarl from the sun goddess. The pitch of this man's voice didn't help with her diminishing headache from the previous round of loud noises. Amaterasu dropped her stance in confrontation of the one down the hall, who was apparently the source for the harmful green material.

Knight Man's attempt at opening the chest was at last successful. The chest plunked open and a cloud of dust let out. Inside was a Star Rod and a Full Heal, though they appeared dirty and like they have been there a while, they were still good and in tact. It would be up to Knight Man to take them or not. Nothing else of value or importance was in the chest, just some old rags and cleaning supplies, not anything real notable at all.

Vector decided to inspect the cabinet in the bathroom and once opened it unleashed a spew of cobwebs, dust, and mini swarm of spiders and cockroaches crawling and squirming to the floor passed the crocodile's feet and behind him. After that little find, the cabinet revealed two small shelves. Inside, it housed a Deku Nut and a Smart Bomb, both still very much useable and active. They had some dust on them, but they were very much fine. Where in the world these items came from or why they were there is another story but they are definitely for the taking.

Meanwhile those that traveled to the hall were still dodging some ectoplasm. The one who claims to be the professor continues to shoot globs of the goo but he suddenly runs out of ammo. He didn't have anymore ectoplasmi bombs either. With a worried grunt the professor begins to work up a major sweat still plainly thinking those in the hall were his enemies looking to pick a fight. He screams in fear and runs out from behind his cover and away from his foes trying to flee as he darts down the rest of the hall but to no avail falls flat on his face tripping over an uneven part of the carpet beneath him. He turns around on his back crawling backwards eyeing those down the way and panics. "PLEASE! DON'T HURT ME! I SURRENDER!" In a huff and almost out of breath upon a closer look you could see and tell exactly who this strange man was.

He had white swirly hair, white bug eyed glasses covering his eyes completely, a white lab coat, a vacuum machine on his back, a silly tie, and he was clearly very old and very short. He was the co-creator of the Life Sphere, Professor E. Gadd! He obviously couldn't entirely recognize that the group he was facing was from the Life Sphere and was too terrified to make the assumption. He just knew that he didn't want to get hurt at the moment, or you know, die or whatever, probably from a heart attack. He waited in solid fear for the response of the group and hoped his life would be spared.

The lock had snapped underneath the force of the great knight and fell off to reveal the contents within the chest. Using his flail to push back the lid, he picked up the Star Rod and looked it over. "Huh," he said holding up the pink wand. Pink stripes and a star certainly looked dangerous to him. Letting out a small laugh he picked up the small yellow spray bottle and examined the contents of it. Tilting it back and forth a little he watched the liquid slosh around inside the plastic container. "Better than nothing," he though as he took the two items and pocketed them for later.

Getting up from his kneel, he looked around to see if anyone else was in the room. The crocodile was in the bathroom and everyone else had ran down the hallway. He thought about following the rest of the group but it might not to be safe to leave the large reptile by himself. The armored bot walked over to the restroom and looked in the doorway, "You find anything?"

[Mr. Game & Watch]

While Vector was already prepared for something to jump out at him the moment he budged the cabinet door, he wasn’t quite prepared for an explosion of spiders. Almost as though a skeleton jumped out at him yelling ‘oogie boogie’ he leapt backwards in a terrified manner hoping that not a single spider touched him. He tried with all his might to not scream because his screams were actually quite deathly to the ears. He sighed as he searched himself for any tiny arachnids and found he was safe from their spindly, hairy legs. The mere thought was revolting.

Once his miniature freak out was done with though, he returned to his inspection. The compartment for whatever reason held weapons, both of which being from very different universes. He could tell this merely by their design, one being organic based and the other technological. Strange that they were put together, but what was even more strange was that they were in the bathroom to begin with. Who put explosives in their bathroom? Oh the smell, they were probably in place to eliminate the stench of the room by all means necessary. While it did improve his arsenal, he would have preferred that the plan succeeded. He visited swamps that smelt leagues better. In fact the mere thought of some of the stinkiest places he ever encountered seemed like a breath of fresh air right about now.

Although it seemed he was not the only one to find more weapons lying around. The reptile’s eyes peered over to robotic knight as he made his approach. By the looks of it, the chest he opened had the exact same number of weapons as Vector had found. He mused for a moment about whether that entailed anything as he placed his newly found items into his boot. “Yeah, just a couple of bombs lying around. Pew, you can’t smell that can you?” the crocodile replied as he clenched his nose yet again, racing out of the bathroom as he did.

There were a lot of different noises arising from the hall, but among what Vector had heard was the cry of an old man. As far as he remembered there were no old people in their party and along with that no one who sounded the same as the professor. It might be high time that the stragglers joined up with the rest of the group. It wasn’t like there was that much left in the room to investigate anyway. “What’s going on out there?” the lime lizard posed to Knight Man then switching his view to the exit. “We should probably catch up with the rest of the group, I think they found something.”

Quote sighed in relief upon looking at the good doctor E. Gadd. One of the few doctors quote could stand. "Dont worry E. gadd, we arnt here to hurt you. We only just got here." Quote was quick to try and calm the professor. "Lets not kill ourselves here. We came here from a mission..But why are you here?" Quote seemed a little confused from E. gadd's sudden appearance. Of course, why wouldn't he. E. gadd is one of the people who shouldn't be out here doing this crazy stuff. Quote was of course absolutely angry that now his shirt was in a ruined state from sudden globs of goop thrown at it, but now wasn't the time to open fire at his allies.

Quote sighed, walking in and putting a iron hand on E. Gadd's shoulder in any attempt to calm the crazy old ghost hunter down.

They were so far behind..whatever had affected them took forever to wear off, so they were left running to catch up with the rest of the group. As he walked into the room where everyone else was, Hoshi by his side, all he heard was yelling, causing him to raise an eyebrow as he rubbed his eyes, still visibly tired. I'm sorry we're so late catching up everyone...something was forcing us back to sleep every time we got close to waking up. Marth said when everyone finished talking, shaking his head quickly to wake himself up, hoshi scratching the side of her muzzle with her claws. They didn't expect to get an update on what all had happened, but by the remains of various enemies, Marth assumed that there were many battles that had led up to this point.

Amaterasu leaped over the burning goo splattered across the floor to join the little robot in approaching the crazy old man. She made sure to stay back though, not wanting him to throw something else out of desperation. However it seemed Quote knew this strange looking guy. A much better alternative and likely right there to end hostility. With a lazy wag of her tail the canine moved over to inspect the nearest doors while attempting to listen past the voices in search of the fleeing individual that they had been chasing.

Straightening his spectacles and getting himself up off the floor E. Gadd began to think about how so many intruders besides him ofcourse were able to venture this far away from Life Sphere and find this castle. He figured he was the only one who had a real reason to come to such a far place, but that was his own secret that he would surely never tell. There was a bit of relief and appreciation though once he saw they were friendly and managed with his terrible memory to recognize some of their faces from seeing them around before once or twice. He was glad that now he could have some support with what he needed, but getting their full cooperation may be tricky if he doesn't plan to tell them exactly why he needs help, at least truthfully. "I must say I am rather surprised to see so many of you out here in the outer plains, especially reaching such a castle. This place has been said to be cursed for centuries!" Professor E. Gadd suddenly felt a story coming on, so he pulled out a metal thermostat from his coat and began to poor it into his thermo lid which transformed into a cup. He was having tea. "You see, long ago there was a far away kingdom that housed this giant castle, and the people in the kingdom flourished, they say the castle was so well built and the king was so well off, that they started to call the castle a crest of luck for a growing kingdom. Word got out of this mighty fortress of a castle and a great many attempted to attack the kingdom and the castle grounds only to be thwarted instantly by the king's great defenses. The legend was that the castle had some powerful magic protecting it and the kingdom, wind magic to be exact, but nobody knew what the source was or how. But that undeniable force of gale was said to have lead the castle to a safe landing once Li was formed."

The professor stopped to drink a sip of his tea, smiled, and then continued. "But just before the castle was blown away to Li, the greatest war it has ever known was breaking out. A small group of unstoppable and purely evil horsemen living off of rebellion and thievery used dark magic to take down the castle's walls and raid its very contents. They slaughtered the noble king and destroyed what was left of the kingdom. Pillaged its villagers and murdered the children. It was absolutely horrific! Thus how it crowned it's new name, Crestfallen Castle. But oddly enough, the magical wind overpowered the darkness and was recreated when the castle landed on Li, and nobody knows why, they just know it exists as solid as ever. But why am I really here you say? Simple...." There was a silence and a slight hesitance as the Professor paused unsure whether to continue, but he did, still not entirely saying the truth to his new colleagues. "The rumor is, the spirits of those murdered by the dark horsemen are still amongst these grounds and have somehow reanimated the great and powerful wind that kept the castle safe, but this time its power has seemed to triple and any sign of the dark magic that was the end all to the castle seemed to suddenly vanish. It's a miracle its still standing, and an even bigger miracle how you all got here and passed the wind's defenses." E. Gadd was lying about half of his story, but he was doing so for the others own protection.

"As for how I got here, my captured ghost buddies from my trusty ghost busting vacuum with their psychic energy teleported me inside. After hearing about spirits, I just had to come. Not sure why Luigi never showed though. He was always a bit of a coward." He wanted to tell them his real motives, he did, but it would be far too dangerous to them, himself, and the entire Life Sphere. If he told them what he knew, chaos would ensure immediately. If he told them his secret, that he was here because in this very castle, lied the ability to cure the Infected, and return them back to normal, he would never be forgiven for his selfish decision to take on and investigate the theory himself. There's no way they'd find out, is what he was feeling and thinking. He hoped he was a good liar, because something was following him, and he wasn't about to keep waiting around. "So uh...hey all, whatdya say we find a way outta here huh? I don't know why you're all here, but uh...I say we forget it and leave. There's something in here, and it's very mad. Trespassing is something I believe it takes very seriously, so we should really go." E. Gadd wasn't kidding nor lying about that statement, they were all in grave danger, and unless they all tucked tail and ran, there would be consequences.
