"Don't touch me," Isa said grumpily, shrugging Larxene off of him as he made his way for the right staircase door. Kokichi shrugged and followed after, with Cole deciding he wanted to be where the action was.
"We might as well all go together," Cole said, trying to herd the cattle that was just milling about.
The plants did not work on Will's body, for it seemed it only worked on biological individuals. The plan of action that proceeded worked as intended, setting off the next explosion so that no one got hurt. All that was left was the ladder into the next room. It seemed entirely unclear whether there was a trap ahead or not, but one member of the group cared little about the possibility as he moved on ahead.
"I'm bored of this already," Cole said, practically leaping up the ladder. Once he was out of sight, the group could hear him audibly grunt, followed by a female voice yelping.
"It's clear!" Cole then yelled.
It was safe to proceed from there, though Megatron would destroy part of the ceiling when coming up to the next floor. The sight above was Cole standing behind a woman, holding her arms behind her so she couldn't get away. She had on a red leather jacket and ripped pants while her hair was done up in a long ponytail of dark brown hair. A bow was on the floor, looking modified with metal and tech. The room itself was likely once an office space, though the table and chairs were now pushed against the window to create a barricade.
The woman Cole held was about to speak when everyone's bracelets went off.
"You have finally come face-to-face with a member of an opposing team. I will now activate your forbidden actions."
After saying this, a new message displayed, one that started with
MUST NOT...
"If you perform the action you are told you must not to, you will die. There are no exceptions."
Cole looked down at his bracelet, but this gave the woman a moment to squeeze from his grasp and elbow him in the face. She then scrambled for her bow, but as she did so, Loki began to hunch over as if in pain. His bracelet flashed bright red and he opened his mouth to let out a strangled cry. Instead of dying right away, he first instead changed into another form entirely.
The alien-like creature that was once Loki fell to the ground and writhed in pain. Parts of its face began to bloat as if diseased, After a few moments, it lie still.
"What?" Isa breathed, stepping away from the dead body. The bow-wielding woman trained her bow on him, though he seemed too shocked to care.
"Why was he turned into that? Is that what will happen to us if we--?"
"No," said the woman, turning instead on Cole, who looked ready to rush her.
"You just die."
"Then I guess he was just a lie, wasn't he?" Kokichi mused. He seemed absorbed in whatever it said on his bracelet.
Cole laughed.
"Girl, you're really outnumbered. Should have run when you could." The woman only stared back at him.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, a dead body lay under the sheet. It was just a regular human as far as anyone could tell. He had been here for a few days at least, though it seemed particularly warm in the tower, so it was difficult to tell. Unlike the body in the basement, this one had definitely been killed with sharp weaponry.
it was then that the bracelets went off.
