Gatekeeper's Portal

*Nearly a Decade Later IV: The Gatekeepers of Randomness* (Indirectly Mentioned)
*The Radical Resurrection of the Canned Bread's Toaster*

*"Silver, what do you think you're doing?"
"...Uhh, building an interdimensional portal...?"*
―Knollad and Silverhawk[src]
The **Gatekeeper's Portal** was a tremendous portal created by Silverhawk, serving as an interdimensional doorway to the Gatekeeper's Realm. The Gatekeeper's Portal was created to help Silverhawk in his journey to kill the Almighty Cookie, who he deemed to be responsible for his obsession with *LittleBigPlanet*. Unfortunately, Mrs. Key concluded that if the portal were to be initiated, the Gatekeeper's Realm would merge with the Crazy Dimension, plunging everyone within the Imagisphere into irreversible strangeness. Powered by the Chaos Emeralds, Silverhawk successfully completed the portal after multiple delays, but while he was journeying back home, the Gatekeeper's Portal malfunctioned, causing Silverhawk to be blasted out of the portal just before it exploded.

## History

### Conceptualization

*"I... have to thank you, Sackboy. For all the memories you've given me. But it seems the only way for me to leave this place is if there's nothing left for me to come back to! I already killed all my friends, and with these Emeralds you've collected for me, I'll make sure the Imagisphere remains ruined, as a desert. I'm gonna make sure nobody else gets stuck on this game like I did. Especially not in the state it's in now."*
―Silverhawk to Sackboy[src]

Becoming immensely frustrated with the Almighty Cookie for making him toxically obsessed with *LittleBigPlanet*, Silverhawk prevailed to return to the Gatekeeper's Realm after over a decade and have it destroyed. Silverhawk started to develop the Gatekeeper's Portal, hoping to use it as his primary method of transportation in order to venture through the Multiverse and reunite with the Almighty Cookie at the Canned Bread Soda Factory. Silverhawk established the machine in the basement of his apartment in the Crazy Dimension, hoping to keep its development secret, both from the general public, and even from some of his closest friends.

The Gatekeeper's Portal was originally set to be completed by May 14th, 2021, however, the project's development was constantly delayed to the sudden shutdown of the *LittleBigPlanet* Servers orchestrated by Jonathan Rosa. By September 2021, only the *LittleBigPlanet 3* servers were salvaged from the outrage, giving Silverhawk additional motivation to go with his plan to wipe out the Imagisphere and make sure no-one else remained stuck on *LittleBigPlanet* like him. During development on the Gatekeeper's Portal, word about its existence was eventually exposed, leading Mrs. Key to conclude of the consequences that would occur if it were to be activated. Both Knollad and Cori would eventually learn of the Gatekeeper's Portal as well and proceed to stop Silverhawk from activating it.

### Hunt For The Chaos Emeralds

*"The Chaos Emeralds are the power source for The King's machine, a machine said to be a gateway to The Gatekeeper's home dimension... If the machine is activated, the two dimensions could MERGE INTO ONE, SPELLING UNSPEAKABLE STRANGENESS. Or so I'm told, maybe the King just dropped his phone in the other dimension, idk."*
―Mrs. Key to Sackboy[src]
In September 2022, following the *Battle for BFLBI* initiative, Silverhawk returned to work and brought the Gatekeepers of Randomness back together, tasking them to venture into the Crazy Dimension and retrieve the Chaos Emeralds, seven crystals that were considered to be the essential power sources for the Gatekeeper's Portal. Possessing the White Chaos Emerald, Silverhawk managed to obtain the other six jewels, inadvertently thanks to Sackboy, who sought to retrieve all the Chaos Emeralds themself to prevent the Gatekeepers of Randomness from using them.

### Ultimate Initiation

*"Silver, this thing could ruin the entire Imagisphere! Listen to your head!"
"The Imagisphere's ALREADY RUINED! I thought those modders and hackers were content with LBP1 and 2... but now the whole franchise is ruined. LittleBigPlanet 2... the place I was made over ten years ago... is GONE!"*
―Knollad and Silverhawk[src]

With the Chaos Emeralds now under Silverhawk's ownership, the powerful collection of jewels were harnessed to the Gatekeeper's Portal, powering the machine as intended and blasting colourful lights within the basement. Continuing to process data from his computer in order to open the poral to the Gatekeeper's Realm, Silverhawk was interrupted by the return of his friends, who became immensely traumatized as they witnessed Silverhawk's secretive project before their very eyes, seeing its destruction for the benefit of the Imagisphere as the upmost importance. They eventually realized of the consequences that would occur if the portal were to be activated, which would lead the Crazy Dimension and the Gatekeeper's Realm to both collide together and form the ultimate descent of ever-increasing insanity.

Cori became extremely concerned about Silverhawk's health more than everyone else, and questioned what he planned to accomplish with the portal. Silverhawk ultimately revealed his plan to venture to the Gatekeeper's Realm and destroy the Almighty Cookie for provoking his *LittleBigPlanet* obsession. Silverhawk then told his friends to stay back as he started to turn the Gatekeeper's Portal on.Knollad prevailed to convince Silverhawk to not initiate the portal, saying that it could ruin the entire Imagisphere. However, Silverhawk disbelieved in Knollad's claim, and concluded that the Imagisphere was already ruined due to the server outrage from the year prior. Refusing to let his extra months of development on the portal go to waste, Silverhawk turned around and ventured into the Gatekeeper's Portal, much to Knollad's shock.

Both A.N.D.R.E. and Jack Jabolon entered the Gatekeeper's Portal afterwards, in an attempt to save Silverhawk themselves, but both failed, giving Silverhawk clearance to successfully return to the Canned Bread Soda Factory and destroy the Almighty Cookie. However, before the Gatekeeper's Portal could completely unleash its Multiversal-breaching powers, Silverhawk blasted through the portal and right back into the basement, causing the Gatekeeper's Portal to ultimately explode. Several pieces of the portal separated from each other, whilst the Chaos Emeralds were detached from their positions on the machine, falling onto the floor.
