Overtaken - a BFB/II2 fanfic (very slow updates)

Hey Snowball

Snowball glanced over at the nearby portal, where a collection of distressed voices were coming from. Annoyed, he strolled over and peeked through the tear in reality.

"...where did they goio?"

"They just vanished!"

"What happened??"

"Hey!" Snowball barked, startling Team 4 on the other side. "Quit your yapping! I'm trying to relax over here."

"No Snowball, you be quiet!" Fanny countered. "We've got a serious problem here, and it's bigger than your selfishness!"

"I'm going to cause a serious problem if you don't shut your piehole. Don't make me come over there!" He began to step forwards towards the portal.

Suitcase's eyes widened. She and everyone else shouted at him to stay back, to not enter. But of course, he didn't listen. The moment Snowball crossed over to the IIverse, he disappeared into thin air.

They stared at the spot where he vanished. Before anyone could say anything else, new voices filtered into the laboratory. Eleven bodies whipped around to see Team 5 file into the already cramped room. Lightbulb was on the phone with somebody. "...oh! I'm in Testy's labo now. I'll head through the portal and be there lickety-split."

"No!!" Baseball cried. He surged forward and slammed Lightbulb away just before she would have walked through. She spun around, somehow managing to avoid falling over.

"Hey!" Paintbrush stormed over and poked their finger into Baseball's face. "What's the deal? That was completely uncalled for!"

"It's the portal!" Balloony said quickly. "It's making anyone who walks through just... disappear!"

The room grew silent. "What?" Basketball asked quietly.

Bubble helped steady Lightbulb. "Whoever you woire talking to oin the phone, toill them to goio get Foiur! Or MePhone, or X, or anyoine! Oind make shoire you tell them to not walk throuigh the portal, no matter whoit!"

As Four held out his hand, the usual drum riff which accompanied the recovery of one or multiple objects played. Snowball and Teardrop landed on the ground with two soft whumps. "Now, what's going on here?" Four demanded.

They didn't move.

"Uh, are they supposed to be asleep?" Firey asked.

Four poked Teardrop, then opened one of her eyes. "Well, she's breathing," he concluded, letting her eyelid snap shut.

"Still, this doesn't look good," Pin said. "MePhone, what about the Cherries?"

MePhone, who had also arrived at the scene, opened his MeLife app and tapped on the Cherries' icon. Their bright red form appeared and they came back to life, but they, too, immediately flopped to the ground, senseless. "That's odd," MePhone stated, scratching his head.

"Hey Snowball," Four said, poking Snowball's near-lifeless body. "Hey Snowball. Hey Snowball. Hey Snowball. H-"

"Four, that's obviously not going to work," Blocky interrupted.

By this point, Teams 2, 3 and part of Team 1 had wandered/rushed over to see what the commotion was. As MePhone explained the problem, he generated a doorframe (complete with an open door) in front of the portal.

"What about your teleportation application, MePhone?" Microphone asked when he finished. "You were able to warp to here from our universe earlier. Why not try again?"
