Poppy slammed into the firewall as she went through the portal.  "OW!" she said, falling backwards.  Headphones and Earbuds sailed through with no trouble at all.

"... whoopsie!  Looks like humans can't really get through the firewall..." Headphones muttered.

"Well, great.  How am I supposed to help you then?" Poppy asked.  "I clearly can't be much help from out here.  Is there some way to breach it or something?"

"Erm, not as far as we know." Earbuds said.  "But, unfortunately, Virus might.."

"Virus?  Who's Virus?"

"OOPS, I...said too much."

"Hey, cheer up Bud." Headphones interrupted, nudging him.  "I'm sure we can find a way to get you in somehow, human."

"Poppy.  Just...call me Poppy."

"... Poppy or not, you're still gonna need a way in.  Hmmm..."

The three thought for a moment.  "Wait a sec!  I think there's a lab here somewhere.  Maybe it has some way to make it so Poppy here can get past the firewall." Earbuds said.

Poppy looked at them.  "But it sounds like you're in a hurry.  Will you have enough time?" she asked.

"We have until tonight.  The lab shouldn't be that far." Headphones said.  "I'll go.  Bud, you stay here with Poppy."

Earbuds nodded.  Headphones quickly ran off to find the lab.

By the time she got there, it was already 4 hours until sunset.  "Better hurry..." she muttered, quickly going inside.  There were potions and devices everywhere... similar to Virus's lab.  The main difference is this lab is abandoned most of the time... and no one knew why.

No one, however, except for the four rulers and Virus himself, but none of them ever talked about it.

"Let's see... invisibility potion, shrink ray, growth ray... AHA!" Headphones exclaimed as she found something that could work.  She quickly ran back to the others.

"GUYS!  I found something!" she called.  Earbuds and Poppy looked over.

Headphones tossed the potion to Poppy.  "... what am I supposed to do with this..?" she asked. 

"DURR, drink it!" Headphones said.  Earbuds elbowed her as punishment for being rude.  "Hey!"

Poppy rolled her eyes and hesitantly drank the potion.

The glass vial dropped as she fell backwards, unconscious.

...

3 hours and 45 minutes until sundown.
