Asta nearly jumped out of his pants as the boy who stood next to the creature introduced himself as Tai and introduced the creature Asta had presumed to be his pet at first as Agumon. He nodded his head politely, his attitude slightly shifting to a quieter one so that he could introduce himself properly.
"Asta." He rose his hand in an introductory way. He wanted to keep things short and simple so that he could find a way out of... Well, wherever he was. It was then that the tiny dinosaur monster had proclaimed it were hungry. Surprised by this, Asta pointed back at the creature, re-startled by it once again.
"Did that monster just talk? Like a person? This is starting to get weird, even for me." His shock was quickly erased when his mind returned back to what had happened the past few minutes. His home, the Clover Kingdom, was still in danger, and there wouldn't be much time to return. It seemed something had happened in the room Asta was in because the black haired guy spoke to him hurriedly, summarizing the information he had been relayed previously. This took Asta by surprise.
"Wait... WE'RE IN FREAKING SPACE?!" He seemed taken aback for a moment.
"Like... THE PLACE IN THE FREAKING SKY, SPACE?!"He had almost ignored the "trapped here for a while part" because of his shock, but quickly reacted to that as well.
"We're gonna... Be here for a while? Oh crud..." He seemed very concerned now that he had left his home in shambles now.
"Then we need to find a way out of here as fast as possible! My country's in danger! Y'know... Not to be rude." He'd begin lifting random electronics and moving things around, trying to find a way out, not familiar with the new door technology.
"Just gotta... Find a way outta here."It was then a newcomer joined the fray, a tiny white and purple pony donning a horn. The creature spoke in a human tongue similar to the dinosaur was able to. Asta was now for certain something was wrong here.
"IS EVERY SINGLE MONSTER HERE ABLE TO TALK?!" He could tell the unicorn was just as frightened by the overall situation as he was, because as soon as she saw all the unfamiliar faces, she shouted at a pitch-breaking squeal that could shatter eardrums.
Asta personally wasn't bothered by it. The ruckus at the Black Bulls HQ was always more than enough to beat the yelling by a tenfold. RIGHT! Asta was looking for a way out. He'd go back to looking around and under. It was when a large black hunka metal began talking behind Asta as he lost attention that he knew that this place was weird. Why the hell was literal METAL with wheels talking. Someone had to be using some form of illusion magic... Then again... All these people seemed human, or at least possessed some human attributes to them... And no illusion magic ever was this complex. He was somewhere, with people he didn't know. The machine they were in certainly knew, as it claimed their names and... Apparently universes they were from. Asta refused to believe that and wrote it off as a mistake.
Many of the members had claimed to be hungry, but Asta's nerves were so racked, surprisingly, he wasn't in the mood for food, so it'd seem he'd be following... Whoever wasn't going there. When the woman in a yellow-blue body suit left, Asta saw fit to follow considering she had been the only one not wanting to fill herself. She left through what Asta only now found out was an door. How odd it looked to doors in the Clover Kingdom. He'd quickly pace himself up to her, trying to follow her steps.
"I don't think I ever got your name, miss." He'd offer his hand as a curtesy shake to the woman. He was trying to be polite, as he had never met any of these people prior, but the truth is, the majority of his new surroundings caught his attention. He had no clue where she was leading him, but trusted it would be somewhere of value. Walking down the halls of the facility, Asta looked back to the lady, trying to make sense of where they were.
"So... I know that dude said we were in Space... But..." He scratched his chin for a moment.
"I've never been to space... Nor do I think anyone from home has been here."There was a space of quiet before the short blonde boy looked back to Terra.
"Wait, so where are you from? Because it seems like no-one here is from the Clover Kingdom or any of the four Kingdoms in that case... Are you guys, like, foreigners or something? From some far away island?" None of them would have known, but Asta was using information he had gotten from Captain Yami, otherwise he'd have no idea what to ask. Nothing of what was happening made sense, but he was kind of just rolling with it.
Once they had climbed into what was seemingly a small, compact empty room, the walls and everything blinked, taking Asta and Terra to a new location. It could've made the boy sick if he hadn't been used to being flung around in magic portals all day. They were lead to an eerie hallway, which Asta would've avoided if Terra did too, but regardless, he followed, trying to make some sense of things. He'd look around, noticing the pads, and buttons, and all the fancy shenanigans that were in the hall. He'd seem amazed for a moment.
"Woah! This place is huge! What do you think they use it for?"He'd notice the pad with the palm on it.
"Huh... What would happen if I stuck my hand on this thing?" He said pointing at it as if Terra couldn't see it. He'd examine it closely before ultimately deciding whatever it did wasn't worth figuring out without another person. Walking around, Asta checked out some more of the area, confused as to what anything did. All this tech and metal-y stuff is so new and interesting to him.
