Midnight giggled madly, struggling hard. "N-no! Never! NEVER!" Midnight began to crawl away, as she managed to cast a dispelling spell to get free. She, too, glanced at the sphere and everypony else, and made a notice to finish up quickly.

She then, too, noticed the timberwolf, and squeaked. "F-fantasy! Is th-that a real timberwolf?!"

Looking down the hall, Fantasy Moon saw the room and the strange sphere. This time, she had an easier time steeling herself, though she still shook a bit.

Turning back, she raised her voice, saying,"Let's go." Seeing as they were very invested in their game, she walked away, opened her book, and gave them both a gift - Which was a hungry-looking timber wolf. Lucky for them, she forgot to add the corporeal rune. She didn't seem to notice, as she kept walking while controlling the wolf. ...I suddenly want revenge... for that "boop"...

(Too lazy to put names in)

 

After the escape he slowly starts to approach until his enemies glimpse and surprise became his. He flinches, taking out his bow and loading up; not one, but two Arrow's onto his bow, draws back and waits for the wolf to attack. "Tell your mutt to heel! Or something!" He demanded towards Moon, not liking the beast one bit.

Midnight assumed a defensive position behind Arrow, making a magical shield around them both but this time with a little opening for him to shoot out of. "Wow," she thought, "This could be a pretty nice formation for a future fight." Midnight then spoke, "Yeah, call it back... before it bites somepony! Maybe not Enzo, though..."

Without the corporeal rune, the timber wolf wouldn't be capable of changing anything physically.  Of course, that also meant that nothing but Fantasy Moon could dispel it.  Like a harmless ghost, really.  It walked up to them, ignoring Enzo, then it just...

Fantasy Moon herself calmly walked up, looking rather serene with her eyes closed while the book floated in front of her, open and enveloped in that blue aura.  She stopped next to Gentle Secret and Dark Star, opened her eyes, and looked ahead.

Arrow lets his guard down after the pup started to prance and bark. "Well... so much for that." He says at he plucks his arrows off his bow. "I guess it wants us to follow?" Arrow guesses by its gestures. With that, he looks towards Midnight, waiting for her to drop the shields. Since he thinks he can't walk through it.

Midnight smiled, taking down the shield. "Yeah, I guess. Let's go, I'm actually really curious to see what's ahead." She said, before trotting forward into the room with the treasure chests. Midnight eyed an unopened one. "May I? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?" She asked Arrow and Fantasy, in case they too wanted to open it or thought they should just skip it.

[Demirari 454]

"Ahah! There are three of you! It's like you all are multiplying or something," the sphere shouted as it floated down towards the three, bobbing up and down, "that's great. All we need is like, four more of you little ponies! Then," the sphere glowed brighter for three seconds before turning to the normal hue, "it'll be glorious! Challenges your brain you know? Squeeze that gray matter for all it is worth. SQUEEZE THAT THING! YEAH!"

 

The sphere did a revolution before stopping still before returning to its normal patterns. It began to hum to itself happily the room shifted. Large 'stairs' formed out of the flooring, raising up and up. Many tiny rooms were constructed in a fast-paced speed, bridges forming out of light itself, levers and buttons of all forming at seemingly random points, dips and rises there and there. It was like watching a city being constructed, except grander and grander. Then, thin beams of lasers reached from ends to ends, from top to bottom, from side to side, diagonally too. The room started to take shape of an intricate puzzle, a likes that ponykind can only dream of. 

 

Sounds of crashing waves shot through the immense room as a waterfall appeared from one of the walls and tricked down an empty road that ran from the longest point of the room and into oblivion. If one were to compare it to something, it'll easily be compared to a sci-fi training room from a work. 

 

The beginning point was a simple red button on the ground and flooring lights leading to a plain circular door that separated at the middle. Next to that gigantic button was a simple cube. Above the door was a simple happy sign that read in an annoying red, "WELCOME TO HELL. JK. Puzzle ONE." Well, as happy as a sign can get with that kind of caption anyways. 

 

"Amazing right? Praise me! I mean, not really. I am humble and all, and let's do this! Tell your cute little buddies to come along! Well, the mares anyways. The stallions are too block-like and dull you know?" The sphere lowered itself and stared at Dark Star, two metal plates from up and down formed what was akin to a glare around the glowing orb. "It is like some cosmic being just slapped together you all without care."

After that, he looks towards this sphere, thing, of... of... unique(?) personality. Watching the room transform the way it has caused Arrow to take a moment of silence and think. "What the buck?" To himself. The seemed to have such an array of diversity to it with lasers, water, buttons, and what not. It was as if they just changed their time point and went to the the future.

 

Then the bot had to share his opinion about stallions. "We're not dull!" Arrow counters weakly. "I was just hopping around and prancing, playing a war with this mare!" He gently boops Midnight on the snout to give support to his statement.

The stag had to admit: the new room looked snazzy.

 

"Why do i have a sudden urge to shoot blue and orange portals everywhere?"

 

"That's strange, even for you. I mean, what kind of stupid puzzle game involves portals? That's just ridiculous."

 

While taking in his new surroundings, the stag overheard the eccentric orb's comment

 

"Dull? Block like? Don't be silly, i mean, look at these curves!"

 

The stag used his hoof to motion to his antlers.

[Your Nightly Spectre 1,061]

Star would look at the shaping room, noticing most of the ponies here, trying to hide a light blush as Fantasy would approach, still feeling a bit weird from the boop earlier.

 

What interested him most was the orb, its sense of humor, and other things. So far this orb among other things was possibly one of the most enjoyable things in these dungeons so far. Even though it made its joke about stallions, it didn't bother Star a bit. As the stag would mention his curves he wouldn't be able to stop a chuckle coming out, turning and once more looking around at the room.

The sphere twirled once more, "Stallions are still dull I'm afraid! But, let's get away from such a discussion! We should move to, like, more productive things in our hopeless lives. Like pushing that cube onto the button. Simple stuff. You know? Like what mouses can easily do." The sphere floated around the cube, giving it light bump before floating forward.

 

"The telescope is not of a joke! A coincidence I assure you," the sphere moved towards Midnight Comet, "the Narrator created the UNDER to be random and unique! Deadly! Sexy! Brave! Like smooth pistons and gears and like. Fast-pace electronic messages that move without halt. Ohhhh! Oh! Oh! Ohohooh!" The sphere laughed before moving towards Fantasy Moon.

Really.  Wonder how they feel about mares.  Fantasy Moon brought the wolf over to where the group had gathered and dispelled it.  She finally added the corporeal rune to the picture, then she closed the book and looked over the room.  Hm...  Perhaps we could go up that, go across that, then... no, maybe-

Gentle Secret stared the sphere with an unamused expression before staring at the cube. She walked over to the cube before poking it and attempted to move it with her weight. The cube moved easily, which raised an eyebrow from her. That was unique, the cube should weigh at least 80 kilograms. But, she wasn't going to complain at all. 

 

Pushing the cube with her side, Gentle Secret managed to drag it onto the gigantic button on the ground. Hearing a click, Gentle Secret took a few steps backwards as the floor-lights shined a blue as the doors opened apart from one another.

 

"Let's get this started," Gentle Secret declared as she peered into the newly opened room.

 

The room was similar to the last one, except this time, there are stairs. One must push the cube up to the button on top of the stairs walking down to gain access to the door that is locked as of right now.
