>"...Freaky. Maybe I oughta consult boss on this. She'd know more about other dreamworlds."

> Malus smacks you over the head with it's pommel.

> This reminds you that you can't speak to Yuuka while this portal is open... unless you go through this world and find wherever the portal to Yuuka's world is, which could be hard, seeing as this is a whole dimension.

>Sigh. "Nothing for it then, huh? Guess we'd better get this overwith, eh Malus?"
>Well, can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. We may as well head in fully, and hope we can find our way back to Boss.

Theme for the Strange World

> The floor, to the feel of your feet, really does feel like a gem, cold, yet smooth. You wonder if the 'islands' really are made of Onyx, or are just similar.

> You see some moving lights in the red, starry ground. It looks like moving stars... but not quite. There is black within the shimmers.

>Let's get a closer look at the floor then. "Hey Malus, y'really think this is Onyx? Wonder if the Kid would like some as a keepsake?"

> Malus bends down and traps the floor a few times, rather hard. It doesn't leave a mark.

> It 'nods'.

> The strange glowing objects are getting closer.

> You look closer at the objects moving towards you. As they get closer, they almost look like the sun does during an eclipse, black orbs with a fiery corona around them. There are about six of them.

> They seem to be heading towards you, but haven't done anything else yet.

> You set a few tiles floating around you.

> The objects float around you, almost like orbiting like the tiles. They don't feel hot being near, despite their solar-appearance, but instead, feel slightly cold to be around.

> You increase the number of tiles around you, causing the objects to distance themselves a little, just a few inches, but it shows they are aware of what's going on.

> You fly upwards. You find doing so difficult, like there is air resistance, despite no air currents. The orbs follow you, a couple of seconds behind your movements.

> "....Whoooo..." you hear come from the orbs.

> Malus nods, and indicates to the orbs.

> "Are.... you...." the voice continues. It seems they are... struggling to communicate, like they are thinking a lot before every word, and being very deliberate with their pronunciation, almost like someone picking up a new language.

> You form tiles around yourself to deflect the shots. The shots are not strong enough to penetrate them, at least, in this sort of timeframe, maybe if you give long enough...

> One of the orbs charges towards you.

> You fling a tile at the orb that rushes towards you, putting a spin on it. When they collide, the orb erupts into a massive explosion, which pelts you with small bits of tile.

> It seems these things are volatile.

Won't that make them explode all at once?
