MegaTale (Genocide) Part 5- World

"Ok, I'm cool with it." Rock tells Rhythm. "Look, I don't really want to-" Rhythm starts to say. "...Wait, huh?" "Yeah, I'm no idiot." Rock responds. "I'm not going to achieve anything standing here. Besides, it's not like I care what that old man-looking robot says!" Then Rock kept moving down the path. "...What's up with this guy...?" Rhythm ponders, before following along.

Suddenly, there was a ring in Rock's ear. The Communicator's screen popped up, notifying Rock that Adrian is calling. Rock sighs and picked up the call. "Hello?" Adrian says. "You're still in the room, right?" Rock rolled his eyes, STILL not caring. "There are a few puzzles up ahead I haven't explained yet." Adrian continued. "It's too dangerous for you to try and solve them alone. That is all. Goodbye for now, young one." Adrian hangs up. Rock didn't really care what's up ahead. The powerful feeling from earlier returns. "Ok, let's keep going." Rock states. He then continues walking. Suddenly, he runs into another Ribbitron! "Alright, now I can-" Rhythm starts to say before being interrupted once again by Rock attacking the Ribbitron and turning it to dust. Rhythm was silent, as if he ran out of responses. Perhaps he was getting used to it?

Suddenly, Rock felt something in his pocket. He checked it and pulled out what seems to be Dollar Bills of some sorts. "Ah, it seems we have managed to earn some Ƶ." Rhythm states. "You see, Ƶ is short for Zenny. Zenny is the currency down here. You earn it by working- which you are too young to do so-, finding it in certain locations, or, for humans like us, sparing or killing robots. Not sure how that works, but just trust me on this." Rock nods and puts the Zenny back in his pocket.

Rock then looks at a nearby door and walks through it. He then noticed a bowl of candy. "Look, a bowl full of Robot Candy!" Rhythm states. "Don't worry, we are allowed to-." Rock took a piece before Rhythm finished. "Guess I didn't really need to say anything." Rhythm says. But Rock wasn't done. He took another piece. "Wow, how disgusting." Rhythm responds. Rock takes more candy. "You really are the scum of the Earth." Rhythm says jokingly. Rock didn't take it as a joke, however, but rather as a compliment as he takes more candy. Suddenly, the bowl fell over. Rhythm gasps. "Look at what you DONE!" Rhythm says. "Don't care, let's go." Rock says, leaving the room and continuing down the path.

Rock suddenly runs into what seems to be a floating blue-and-black rectangular box of some sorts. "That is a Telly." Rhythm tells Rock. "They are... pretty shy, so you can just go ahead and-" Rock kills the Telly. Rhythm was silent once more. He can't describe it, but Rhythm can't help but feel... Powerful. Later on, Rock walks into some sort of path. There are plenty of cracks on the ground. They all seem like they would crumble once stepped on. At first glance, it looks impassable.

"There's a way to pass this area." Rhythm states. "You will have to step on one of those cracks in the floor and fall down. Don't worry, there are leaves on the bottom that will break your fall." Rock nods and steps on one of the cracks, falling through a hole and landing on the leaves at the bottom. "See, what did I tell you?" Rhythm states. "Now, all you have to do is walk over there and head through that door." Rhythm points at a sort of door. Rock walks through it and ends up on the other side of the path he was on. "It wasn't as hard as it looked, now was it?" Rhythm states rhetorically. "Let's keep moving." Rock continues down the path.

Suddenly, Rock gets another call from Adrian! Rock picks it up. "Hello, this is Adrian again." Adrian says. "For no reason in particular, would you prefer Chocolate or Peanut Butter?" Rock couldn't really care less, but knew there was no way out of this question. Eventually, he decided on Chocolate. "Ah, OK." Adrian continued. "...Do you happen to DISLIKE Peanut Butter by any chance? I mean, you have no peanut allergies, right?" Rock rolled his eyes and said no to Adrian's question. "Ah, I see. My apologies. Thanks for being patient with me, by the way." Adrian then hangs up. Rock then looks at the room. There was a rock (not referring to the person, of course), a button, and a spike trap of sorts keeping him from proceeding.

"This one is simple." Rhythm states. "Just push the rock until it's on the button." Rock nods and pushes the rock until it is on the button. All of a sudden, *CLICK!*, the spikes sink into the ground. Rock continues down the path. Later on he runs into a room filled with cracked floors. "This puzzle is sadly unlike the one from earlier." Rhythm says. "In order to pass through this area, you would have to step on the cracked floors that WON'T crumble. Don't worry, I'll tell you where to go." Rhythm then stands in front of a certain set of cracked floors. "Alright, start down here." Rhythm states, guiding Rock down a certain path. "...OK, go right. ...Now left. ...Now left. WAIT! I meant right! Now right... Right again. Now left... Perfect!" Rock successfully made it through the path thanks to Rhythm's guidance! He continues down the path.

Suddenly, Rock ran into three small, yellow blobs, each with one red eye. "Ah, those are called Mini Devils." Rhythm states. "I'd say to spare them, but I kinda feel like your just gonna-" Rock then kills the yellow blobs, one by one. "Yeah, that's kinda what I expected you to do." Rhythm states. Rock continues down the path.

...And then there were more rock puzzles. Simple! Right? Wrong. Just before Rock was about to push the third one, it started to speak! "HEY!" The rock said. "Who said you could push ME around!" "Hmph." Rock said. "How about you move over yourself, then?" "HM?" The rock continued. "So yer ASKIN' me to move over? ...Okay, just for you, pumpkin." The rock then moves over to the bu- wait, no, it just moves over a single "step". "Hey." Rock tells the... err, rock. "Why not try moving over some more, if ya know what's good for you." "Ok, how about this?" The rock then moves... a single "step" the wrong way. "Hey, buddy, that was the-" Rock started to say, but was interrupted by the rock. No, the other one. "Are ya saying that was the wrong way?" The rock starts to say. He then pondered for a bit on this. "Hm..." The rock began to say. "I think I got it now." The rock then finally moves it's way onto the button, deactivating the spikes and allowing Rock on his wa- and the rock moved off of the button. "Is this some sort of sick joke!?" Rock says. "Go back on the button and STAY THERE. Or else, you'll face my bla- err, stick." "...Yer givin' me a REAL workout." The rock replied, "stepping" back on the button. "That's more like it." Rock said, continuing on.

Eventually Rock sees a piece of cheese on the table and a mouse in a mouse hole. "If only I could reach that mouse and actually kill it..." Rock says. The powerful feeling returns once again as Rock keeps moving forwards.

Rhythm wasn't sure about this whole "killing" thing. Maybe... Maybe it's alright to kill? Rhythm shrugs off this thought and catches up with Rock.
