Chapter 75: New Costumes Same Issues
Long ago, during the war with Lucifer, the villain created a machine. One shaped like a box, which he used to stay far above the planet, an orbiting fortress. In his final battle with Nier and Full Monarch, this ship crashed down to the planet below and shattered.
In the present day, the concept had been recreated by Boy Genius. Every part of the cube's imitation, stretching for miles, was a recreation of that machine Lucifer had made. All layered together. The smell of the sea coated the place in all directions, and it only took a few moments for their ship to land.
It was very strange to walk on the surface. The cube constantly spun and twisted, slowly and deliberately. In one moment, the ocean would be your sky, and in the next, it would rise in front of you like a monolithic wall with the endless sky to your back.
Cinder's legs wobbled, and she held her arms out as she stepped off of the ship. She was already super dizzy. She wasn't the only one who was struggling either. Stars rolled around Snowdawn's head as the teen covered his mouth and did his best not to vomit. Whisper looked like she was drunk—the way she kept nearly tripping.
Myth and Battery stepped off with grace, the two seemingly unaffected by the shifting view. Finally, that just left Paragon. The poor girl's bird was constantly spinning its head around in all directions as the girl slowly inched down the ramp, jumping back when she felt the strange gravity.
Just taking a step was odd enough, as the cube had its own gravitational field. One that kept them rooted in place so they wouldn't go flying or falling off, but the downside meant that moving was sort of like walking through water, as if the air was trying to hold them back.
"Just come down already!" Whisper yelled.
Paragon huffed and then took a step forward, only to instantly faceplant into the floor and slide down the ramp. She laid on the floor face down, not moving. "Actually, it's really not that bad once you don't see the spinning." The girl finally said. "I think I'll stay down here."
She sheepishly helped the girl stand back up. "Maybe leave Destiny behind. He doesn't seem to be happy."
"Yeah, but then I'm blind." Paragon sighed. "And I didn't bring my cane."
"Ooh! This is my chance!" Snowdawn clasped his hands together, and he pulled them apart slowly. "Behold! My all-new ability to use ice constantly! Ice cane! Hell yeah!" As the name suggested, he created a makeshift walking cane out of solid ice. It actually didn't look that bad, and it even had carvings, adorned with a bird-shaped head. He had clearly gotten better.
