The Portal Problem

The Portal Problem is a spinoff series of In a Locked Room and Heroes Through Time, another roleplaying series. Its first air date was on September 8, 2017, with the first episode being Challenge of the Cube. Its creator is PeaVZ108.

Episode 1 - Challenge of the Cube
The gang land in the Portal Dimension, with Green Shadow, Jelo, Solar Flare, Jenny and more. As they figure their way out of that dimension, they discover a strange object known as the Infinity Cube. Green Shadow volunteered to read the inscripted message below the cube:

"Any creature, big or small,

Sweet or foul, short or tall,

Shall face a new challenge upon this very sight,

Of the Infinity Cube, with pride and might.

Travelling through worlds only through this very dimension,

Fail to obey, and suffer repression,

As soon as he or she stops reading this message,

this cube shall follow through times and ages."

Just as the gang can figure out what the message meant, the Infinity Cube started glowing wildly, flying around for a moment, before flying towards Green Shadow. After a huge flash of light, the next thing everyone saw was the cube, not moving around wildly anymore, but stuck on Green Shadow's right leaf. Now with the cube following them, the gang's true challenge begins...

As the gang try figuring out what the cube really does, Bonk Choy spots a portal labelled "Exit" and immediately decides to enter. Just as Green Shadow tries to stop him, Bonk Choy slips through the portal. Left without a choice, the gang enter the portal too. What greeted them next was beyond their expectations - A beach setting. Not long after, Bonk Choy was found, struggling from drowning in the sea. Solar Flare rushes to save him, and pulls him back to the shore. However, the drowning was not the real problem, as Green Shadow quickly spots a tentacle wrapped around Bonk Choy. Bonk Choy was not drowning, a giant octopus was trying to eat him! As the gang were fighting against the giant octopus, another enemy was ready to attack...

Galaximus, one of the gang's worst arch-enemies, is planning to raid the gang once again as a revenge attempt. As Galaximus and her forces ambush, the gang would now have to fight off both Galaximus AND the giant octopus. However, the gang was rescued quickly by a ship full of beans, and they escaped successfully.

The beans are actually bean pirates known as the Pirates of the CarriBEAN (Emphasis on the bean) on their ship "Jellybean Rogers". The captain introduces himself as Captain Blackbean, and after a short conversation, he immediately goes back to the cabin, telling the gang that he would bring out a big surprise for them. Close to an hour later, the captain brings the gang to his cabin where their surprise was waiting, after admiring at Green Shadow's Infinity Cube briefly. Or so they thought.

As soon as the gang stepped into the cabin, the captain and his crew brandished their weapons at the gang. The gang then realised they have been tricked. Captain Blackbean even reveals that he has been only "saving" them in hopes of stealing their loot. Galaximus' forces intervene once again, causing the Pirates of the CarriBEAN to declare battle against Galaximus (Captain Blackbean even directly called Galaximus a princess). The two enemy sides attack each other, with Captain Blackbean even summoning his sharks against them. Blitz fired rockets in an attempt to wipe out both sides at once, though it didn't work a lot in his favour. The crew were then swatted far far away by the giant octopus everyone encountered earlier. Much to Green Shadow's reluctance, the gang steal the Jellybean Rogers ship to find their way home, as it was still functioning when the crew were swatted away.

Green Shadow and the gang then spotted land a few days later, with the assist of Zuma Frog. When the gang reached the land, they were greeted by Doopies who capture the gang for "trespassing their property". They meet a person known as Jeremiah Eliopoulos, who was simultaneously Jelo's half-brother (?). Thanks to this recognition (?), the gang were freed and shown to his giant hill paradise. Shortly after, peas and Inklings attack the Doopies. As an Inkling attacks Green Shadow with an ink blob, the ink blob hits the cube instead, which surprisingly reacts in front of everyone's eyes. It turns Green Shadow into her inky form: Ink Shadow. It is when the gang finally discovers the true ability of the Infinity Cube - it gives her powers depending on the type of projectile that hits the cube.

Upon this discovery, Galaximus grabs Green Shadow and demands her to surrender the cube. Taking advantage of her appearance, Green Shadow uses flattery to let Galaximus' guard down, before striking her with ink. Green Shadow then turns into her star and fire forms with the help of the cube and the other gang members, which eventually overpowers Galaximus. As they wait for one of the Doopies to dig the island for the exit portal (The gang proved this theory that they can only exit the world through the portal to the Portal Dimension by going through a portal, shocking Green Shadow to the point that she could not leave through that portal.), they get caught in nets by Captain Blackbean and his crew, who have built a bigger ship and sought for them to take revenge on. The gang can only await for their next fate from the pirates.

Episode 2 - Cruisin' Catastrophe
Captain Blackbean puts his first mate, Beanjamin, in charge of looking after the captured gang members. Kirby inhales Beanjamin's sword with his ability and turns into Sword Kirby, but his sword breaks as he tries to cut the nets. Green Shadow then asks Kirby to throw the broken sword to the cube, which Kirby does and transforms Green Shadow into her knight form (she even has a shield). As Green Shadow cuts the nets successfully, Kirby tells everyone that he is going to blow up the ship. Green Shadow and Kirby go together to stop the Pirates of the CarriBEAN. As they are ambushed by the crew, Kirby pulls out a bomb and uses it to wreck the new captain ship. Though the captain was missing, the other pirates have been killed. Realising that destroying the ship meant that they would be stranded in the water, Tiny grabs a ship part to use as their own ship. At first, no one approved of his idea. Fortunately, the old pirate ship returns, which was brought to the gang by Orville, the orca who decided to swim away to explore the world. Huge-Giganticus decides to build a teleportation device to allow everyone to leave the world, but Tiny feels like Huge-Giganticus missed a step and decides to help, which the latter refuses, which later led to a heated argument between the both of them. Suddenly, the weather eventually worsens to a great thunderstorm. The ship eventually sinks as well and the gang hops onto a lifeboat to safety. The impact was so strong that it sent the lifeboat and everyone on it flying to another island.

Soon, they wake up and find themselves on the shore of another island, inhabited by natives. The teleportation device and the lifeboat were destroyed, so the gang were stranded. Bonk Choy points at a statue of an ancient Peashooter, confusing Green Shadow as she has never heard of peas living in remote areas. Tiny and Huge-Giganticus continue to argue, which irritates the gang even further. Rocks then began to shower on the gang and Green Shadow realised that they were being attacked by a group of native peas. The battle intensifies until the chief of the native peas, Chief Reengea, appears to cease the battle. The gang explain their reasons and manage to convince the chief, who was the only native pea who could understand the English language. The chief decides to invite everyone as guests and throws a feast in honour of their arrival. The chief then reveals that the native peas, known as the Peakeas, used to be very peaceful natives thousands of years ago until a goddess that they call, "Entacletea" or Tentacle, showed up to rain destruction all over the island. Many Peakeas were killed and left homeless, including the chief's father, which made the chief use his father's enchanted sword to fight Tentacle. Chief Reengea had cut off all of Tentacle's tentacles and stabbed her, and she was last seen unconscious, though the chief was unsure if she was really dead. The natives were cautious of everything that landed near their island ever since. Green Shadow was saddened as she saw the Peakeas crying and hugging over the story. Night time eventually falls and the Peakeas retreat to their huts. The chief leads the gang to his own hut, as there were intelligent, fast and powerful zombies out there. Everyone makes it into the hut, except for Re-Peat Moss, who was left surrounded by the zombies. Ladybot from Planet Dolan rushes to save Re-Peat Moss from the zombies, who then attack her instead. Re-Peat Moss in turn saves her by throwing cards at the zombies, and the duo escape back to the hut. As everyone manages to evade the zombies, the chief tells everyone that he will be taking them around the island the next day.

The next day, after releasing the Peakeas to their daily duties, the chief reveals that there are five other tribes on the island, apart from the Peakeas, but only the Peakea tribe remained after Tentacle attacked the island. The gang then proceed to explore the island, starting with the former Flowa village, a village that used to be inhabited by sunflower natives. The chief reveals that there is a waterfall that heals anyone with a single touch and that the Flowas were the most intelligent and organised natives on the island. After a short exploration, the chief then takes the gang to the next village: the Nutderthal village, where coincidentally the chief and Tentacle fought thousands of years ago. The chief says that the Nutderthals use fruits as walls and eat rocks as food, which makes them unintelligent. He then shows the area where the epic fight took place, which excites the gang. Suddenly, Tentacle reappears, which causes the chief to be in disbelief. The gang could only wait for whatever than happens next to them.
