The Beryllium Fortress, Destruction Impossible is a metal box in which Purple Face was imprisoned, starting with "Catch These Hands" and ending with "Fashion For Your Face!". As the name suggests, it's made of beryllium (4Be).
Coverage[]
BFDIA[]
The first appearance of the Beryllium Fortress, Destruction Impossible (in-universe) was in "Catch These Hands", when Yellow Face uses it to imprison Purple Face after he stole the former's Win Tokens and "threatened" to sell more of his Total-Slip Shoes so Wah. He then spray-painted it with the words "Don't Purple Open Inside" (being mistakenly as "Don't Open Purple Inside"), then did a brief advertisement about it, detailing its resistance to acid and how it takes 7 or more years to break, referencing "Fashion For Your Face!". The former trait is proven, as the Eiffel Tower they were imprisoned in sank into acid shortly after.
BFB[]
The first appearance of the Beryllium Fortress, Destruction Impossible (release date) was in "Let's Raid The Warehouse", where Gelatin discovers it after the Have Nots pick their presents, while Purple Face attempts to escape from it. Firey wonders what it is, and Gelatin wonders if there's a way to open it. Taco warns them that whatever is inside the box could be lethal, but Gelatin tells her not to worry, because he is being careful. However, at that moment, the clanging from inside the box increases drastically in volume and intensity, scaring the trio into leaving the warehouse.
The final appearance of the fortress is in "Fashion For Your Face!", when the Have Cots go to the warehouse to get tools to break Four out of their prison. However, Flower, sensing that the group had taken off her sweaters, comes after them at a whopping 226,080 miles per hour, kicking them with so much force that they crack the fortress. This terrifies Gelatin, who is scared of what is inside the box. Leafy tries to comfort him, saying that they won't be there much longer. However, moments later, Purple Face finally breaks out of the box, with intent to eat the Have Cots due to his insanity. The box is not seen again after this.
TPOT[]
In "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", the box makes another appearance in Black Hole's nightmare during a chase sequence. When Fanny and Tree jump on it, Fanny exclaims "Don't Purple, Open Inside? What the air is that?". The fortress is then sucked up by Black Hole.
Trivia[]
- Beryllium Fortress, Destruction Impossible is the second (chronologically the first) small prison made to contain one character. The first is the Liar Ball for Loser.
- Beryllium Fortress, Destruction Impossible can be abbreviated to BFDI.
- It took Purple Face exactly 6 years, 6 months, and 21 days to escape the fortress.[1]
- Purple Face would've died from Berylliosis/Beryllium Poisoning.
- In BFDIA 9, the fortress is shown to be resistant to acid, as it floats atop the remains of the Eiffel Tower. However, scientifically, this would not be the case. The lead paint-vomit can melt the Eiffel Tower, which is made of iron, giving it a melting point of 1,811 Kelvin. However, beryllium's melting point is 1,560 Kelvin, meaning it would melt in the acid as well, Killing Purple Face, and making his appearance in BFB 21 a plot hole.
- However, beryllium is immune to nitric acid(HNO3), so there might be a chance that the acid is nitric acid.
- "Don't Purple Open Inside" is likely a reference to the "Don't Dead Open Inside" meme.
- Despite the name, this fortress did undergo destruction in BFB 23
