"He seemed to have changed the world's shape, now the borders are the walls, normally they're thousands of kilometers out, he has control over the dark place." She continued

Sarah looked up to see a timer counting down, there was 4 minutes and 30 seconds remaining "We're being timed." She said as she turned to the others
"Then.. let's solve the riddles?" Kirk responded but Sarah cut him off.

"No, he wouldn't make it that easy, this timer has to do something with how we get out of here." She said
"But what?..." She pondered in place
Her eyes lit up.
"The walls."
"What do the walls have to do with the time?"
"Y'know how in the movies, when a character is stuck in a room, the walls slowly close in over time?" She asks

"The walls are closing in?"

"No, there's something in the walls we need to get somehow, before the timer hits 0."

"But... they're indestructible, I tried destroying them with my ice, nothing."

"Not that, there's some way to get in the walls in here, look around for something!" She demands.
The group scan the room but not 45 seconds later Kirk finds a large black metal hatch with a darker black metal X on it, it didn't seem to have a handle though. "That didn't take long." Kirk swiftly used his newfound abilities to create a handle on the hatch and swung it open, freezing the hatch open, behind the hatch was an enormous room that surrounded the one they were in.

"Alright, let's go-" Sarah was stopped by Kirk.

"No, I'll go alone, something might happen and I probably have the best chance of getting out of dangerous situations"

"What? How?"

"I trained to fight for years, then got a superhuman serum, THEN got fused with Monkey DNA. Then as if that wasn't enough reason i got my strength back and i can manipulate this fucking world like I'm Neo! If you know anyone else who had gone through more than me, please, invite them over for a tea and a picnic." Kirk barked as he crawled through the hatch into the huge room, it was like a cold cellar, not having proper walls and instead having a metal frame all around where the walls should be with Wall insulators stuffed behind, the floor was just dirt, made of red code, like usual in this realm, Kirk wandered the backroom and quickly spotted a mount of dirt packed behind a thin wall reaching the ceiling, curisoity got the best of him and he dug through it to find something absolutely disgusting, it was his arm, the arm he lost back in the Synth Wars, it wasn't made of code, it looked just like a normal arm, but the flesh was green and rotting, he could see down to the bones and saw every nerve and vein through the thin skin, he gagged at the sight and nearly threw up, he didn't want to grab it, but realised that it was literally the only thing inside the walls, it had to be what they needed, so he covered the rotting hand in ice, grabbed it, and went back to the hatch, he tossed the arm through as the other three jumped back in disgust, all turning away as the stench of the rotting arm flooded the room, Sarah looked around the room, plugging her nose and trying to breathe as little as possible, until she found what looked like a garbage disposal hatch you'd find at the top floor of a hotel or condo, she, without saying a word, looked at Kirk and pointed to it, he responded quickly and tossed it across the room, as it landed on the tray in the hatch, the hatch slid down slightly with the weight of the arm, then it slid inwards into the deep darkness of the hatch, the hatch itself closing, The second the metal doors of the hatch touched was the moment the whole world shifted, it morphed into a huge forest, but there was no code. The group look around a bit before Mira comes across something odd, it was a small concrete shed with a metal door that had a single rectangular window, but it was boarded off, the concrete shed was overgrown with moss, vines, and ivy

"I know this place." Joie said as he walked to the concrete shed
