A bright light envelops Paintbrush and the Galac-goo as they come out from the portal, the Galac-goo's eyes were closed in order to not be blinded by the light.
"Oooohh...." The Galac-goo spoke in awe of the paradise, before looking down from Paintbrush's bristles to see Test Tube next to them, looking at them with confusion. The two looked at each other for a brief moment, before Test Tube spoke up. "..Uh.. Hi...?" She greeted the Galac-goo who happily greeted her back. "Hi!"
Test Tube then turns to Paintbrush, "Paintbrush, what is that." Test Tube asked bluntly, prompting Paintbrush to answer hence she was not in the spacescape before. "Oh, it's my friend!" They replied, pointing up to the purple goop and introducing them to her.
"..Oh." Test Tube examined the Galac-goo for a few seconds. "Does it have a name?" Test Tube asked, prompting the Galac-goo to realize they don't have one.
"...Ohh... Well.. I don't have one."
"Well we could always just make one up for you!" Paintbrush reassured the Galac-goo, as they began thinking of a name for them.

"...Hm.. How about... Puddle?"

Puddle's eyes widened in fascination, finding the name fitting. They smiled and echoed; "Puddle..? Huh... Well, just call me Puddle for now!" Puddle happily announced with pride, accepting the new name. It's been hard having no name, being preferred to 'galac-goo' all the time. "It's nice to meet you!" Puddle replied, smiling warmly at Test Tube, "It's nice to meet you too!"

"So.. is this where you used to be here, Paintbrush?" Puddle asked, looking down at their best friend with curiosity.
"Yep!" Paintbrush replied, letting Puddle look around the nice paradise. Puddle was already so amazed at everything, hence not being outside the spacescape before. "Oh.. your world looks more good compared to mine.. which is a void- of some sort- Y-You know what I mean!" Paintbrush nodded in reply, understanding Puddle's mumbles.

After a moment of silence, Puddle spoke up again, "So... What do you two do around here anyways...?" They asked. "Well we were originally here for spoiled lemon, but SOMEONE had to intervene, so now we're just here competing for a competition." Paintbrush replied.

Just then, curiosity absorbed Puddle in a instant, ".. Compe...compet..ition..?" Puddle echoed, interested. "Yeah." Test Tube replied.
"Ooo.. I've never been in one of those before, and I probably never will." Puddle spoke out, feeling left out of not being in challenges before. Test Tube notices their loneliness and tries to reassure them, "Well, another challenge would appear sooner or later, you're not late." She replied, prompting a small smile out of the Galac-goo. "..Oh, well, I guess I'll be experiencing one after all!" They smiled. They turned to Test Tube, suddenly becoming confused as to how to apply, "..So.. do I have to go to the creator of the challenges in order to participate..?" Puddle asks, prompting Test Tube to answer, "Oh, there's MePhone4 over there, if you want to see him." She replied, pointing to the blue phone inspecting everyone from a distance. Puddle smiled, nodding before jumping off of Paintbrush's bristles, floating over to the phone with ease as Test Tube and Paintbrush watch from afar, surprised at how the small Galac-goo travels.

"Hello!!" Puddle greeted, catching MePhone4's attention as he turned to look at the small goop, "Hi."
"So, with the whole situation out of the way, I heard you were the one in charge of the challenges everyone goes through? I was wondering if I can participate in them too? Please?"
MePhone takes his attention away from the small Galac-goo, thinking about his answer before turning back to see the goop looking at him with a pleading gaze, similar to puppy-dog eyes.

"..Pleeeeaaase...?"
MePhone suddenly smiled softly, finding Puddle's puppy-dog eyes adorable; he was already struggling to keep back the urge to let them into the competition. "I- uh.. don't-" He sighed, "...Yes, you can participate.." He replied, finally giving into the urge to let Puddle into the competition. Puddle's eyes widened as they smiled, gasping excitedly. "YAY!! THANKS MEPHONE!!" Puddle excitedly cheered, as they fled away from MePhone4's presence.

Puddle fled back to Paintbrush and Test Tube, giggling and cheering in excitement. "He accepted me!!" They exclaimed, seeing the two's faces light up. "Good job, Puddle.." Paintbrush replied, feeling Puddle fly into their arms as they gave them a comfortable hug, feeling happy.
Puddle then slid out from Paintbrush's arms, going towards Test Tube. Paintbrush looked in confusion of the Galac-goo as Puddle fled into Test Tube's arms as well.

It was basically Puddle's way of hugging two people at the same time, but due to their lack of limbs, they don't have the ability to do so. Paintbrush smiled at the sight, finding it wholesome and endearing. At least Puddle is out from the Felicanin's grasp now.

Speaking of the Felicanin..

The Felicanin screamed as she landed on the ground, finding herself on what seemed to be a dark, sandy terrain. "OW-!" She hissed in pain, slowly getting up while shuffling her paws against the metal bars of the cage, the cage being tilted to the side from the impact.
".. Stupid.. little metal BArs-" She grumbled, "...A-At least I hit a solid spot... Where am I?"

The felicanin's mind started to wander, until she heard the sound of static, like a radio being activated near her. She turned to the direction to see a yellow walkie-talkie on a metal pole.

"Welcome to indefinite isla-and.... wait you're not a contestant.." A voice spoke out of the walkie-talkie, although enthusiastic and upbeat at first, it quickly realized she was not apart of the competition at all. The Felicanin scoffed, rolling her eyes in reply, "Duh, of course not! I'm trying to get out from this stupid cage." She replied,
"Why are you in a cage?" The walkie-talkie asked, seeming to be getting curious. "..I got into a fight that caused me to be here. So, can you just help me out here?" The Felicanin asked. The walkie-talkie immediately became suspicious.
"..Wait, why should I trust you if you've been in a figh-"

"I was a good person, okay?!" The Felicanin cuts off the walkie talkie, lying straight to her face. "I've tried 'saving' everyone and that's all I know." The Felicanin replied, a slight tone of sarcasm present.

Fortunately for the Felicanin, the walkie talkie seemed to be convinced. ".. That's something a nice person would say. Okay, I trust you, but I can't help you." The walkie talkie replied.

"Then who?" The Felicanin mumbled as she glares around, seeing a red and white lifering glaring back at the cage. "..Huh. Hey! Can you help me out here-!?" The Felicanin replied, seeing the lifering come closer. "Gladly!"

The lifering grabbed a nearby rock, and aimed at at the bars of the cage. "..You may want to back away a little for this."
And so, the Felicanin obliged, backing away to the wall of the cage. Lifering threw the rock at the bars, making the bars slightly cracked. The Felicanin was amused by the sight, "...Huh. How did that work..?" She wondered, surprised.

Lifering continued to throw rocks at the bars of the cage, eventually breaking it enough to set the Felicanin free. "There ya go!" The lifering smiled, seeing the Felicanin slowly step out of the cage, setting foot onto the sand. "Well, thank you." She chuckled, surprised that her plan had worked. Everyone is so gullible to a newcomer..

The Felicanin smiled as she rushed towards Lifering, her claws unsheathed as she proceeded to pounce at him. Lifering quickly realized the danger as he tried to flee, but it was already too late for him.
A stain was left on him, quickly submitting to the virus. The Felicanin smirked, looking back at the walkie talkie. The walkie talkie let out a gasp, surprised of the Felicanin's action.

"MONSTER!! YOU'RE A MONSTER-!"
The walkie talkie was quickly cut off as the Felicanin chuckled, "..Okay. Yeah, maybe I am a monster because I've been called that TWO TIMES ALREADY MISS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS." The Felicanin replied, swiping a glowing paw as a star-shaped projectile appearing beside her. "I was not trying to 'save' anyone, just trying to do what I was told to do. Now, get out of my sight, you gullible, worthless radio."

The Felicanin threatened, throwing the star towards the walkie talkie. It managed to hit it on the screen, cracking it.
"Don't do-that monster!" The walkie talkie glitched, before the Felicanin jumped, grabbing the walkie talkie in her paws. She grabbed the moonsword and pointed it at the walkie talkie, and before they can speak, quickly dropped it and stabbed the walkie talkie with a swift movement.

The walkie talkie's signal broke, a small amount of smoke emitting from the broken wires and glass.

The Felicanin huffed a sigh as she turned to the purple-stained Lifering, "Alright, c'mon. We need to bring this infection back up." She takes a glance at a blueberry, who just seemed to be.. laying there? It seemed like they didn't even care about the situation at all. She chuckled, finding the sight amusing. She turns to Lifering again, "..Hey, you can start by infecting that blue fruit."

And so, Lifering obliges, running towards Blueberry in a attempt to infect him too with some struggle. Though the blueberry seemed gloomy and ignorant, they did a good attempt at defending themselves.
Although unfortunately they didn't meet her standards, the blueberry was infected too, fallen to the virus.

The Felicanin raised a paw, signalling the infected to wait. She padded away, seeing something in the distance.
It was a tea kettle. The Felicanin slowly crept up to the tea kettle, her fur camouflaging with the dark view of the island; she would never suspect a thing... The Felicanin pounced on the tea kettle, catching her off-guard but quickly fights back against her. The tea kettle held the Felicanin's arms tightly, catching her by surprise. "Huh— you're tough!!"

The tea kettle pushed herself out of the Felicanin's grasp, slowly backing away. "No, no no no please— don't hurt me! I.. I have—" The Felicanin smirked as she stepped up to her, cutting the tea kettle off. "..Oh, I won't.. I'm just putting you to good use." The Felicanin suddenly opened her paw to reveal a moonsword, swiftly spinning it and hitting the tea kettle's nose, shattering it. The claws from the Felicanin's paw also left a mark on her, a purple scratch visible.

The tea kettle winced in pain as the Felicanin watched with satisfaction, watching as the scratch became quickly infected, leading to the fall of the tea kettle to the galactic virus.

The Felicanin glared as she tried to spectate for any more contestants in her view, but unfortunately, she wouldn't see anything. '..Do you think that's enough?' she pondered, glaring at the three infected; the blueberry and the lifering helping up the tea kettle as purple contaminated tea spilled from her injuries. Although she didn't seem distressed from the sight, as she couldn't feel anything anyway. The tea kettle was no more, the blueberry was no more, and the lifering was no more. All there was were husks of a object's body, being controlled by a parasite.

She sighed, turning towards the trio, "Alrighty, I think that's enough. I lasted long enough with three, this should get me some extra time." She spoke, nudging her head forward to redirect the infected. Of course, they obliged, and immediately knew what to do. They clinged onto her tail as the Felicanin opened her wings, and after a short amount of time, soared up to the air with the infected following behind her like a kite's tail.

They soared off to the opposite direction to where she came from, never to be seen again.. or is she? Who knows. The infected just know to follow the leader.
