"The Blue Planet… never thought we'd come back here again." Hope said.
"This place, it's beautiful." Tsuki said.
"I know, right? Absolutely breathtaking. And believe it or not… This is my ancestral homeworld, at least for my Lunarian side." David said.
"Oh yes, you're one of the children of the people that reside on the moon." Tsuki said. "It almost slipped my mind."
"On my mother's side, yes." David said.
"So Sunset, which Youseiken are we looking for on this world?" Starlight asked.
"The Genbu Hotenfu. A sword that transforms into an axe. A blade of justice that's said to cleave even the very ocean in two." Sunset said.
"Whoo, a sword that becomes an axe and can split the oceans in half?! That's a heck of a combo!" Ruby said.
"All the more reason we find it and secure it before anyone else does. That kinda power is dangerous in the wrong hands." Hope said.
"Agreed. Plus, it's been a while since we've been here. I'm pretty sure a lot has changed since then." Sectonia said.
"Not all that much, the kingdoms are prospering. That's a pretty good sign that things are looking good at the moment." Kabuki said.
"Well according to the logs, about seventeen years have passed since we were last here." Robin said.
"Seventeen years? That long?" Mayumi asked.
"For us, it was barely two." Petra said.
"Yeah, that was one heck of an adventure we had. Stopping the Elemental Archfiends and Golbez before finding out the real mastermind… man what a ride." Hope said.
"Indeed. I'm sure peace has been established here for a long time." Ross said.
"Oh wait...I remember this place. This is where we first met you guys." Skull said.
"Albeit briefly. You guys only showed up to waste Cagnazzo." Zelos said.
"We were pretty sure Cecil was gonna take it before you guys swooped in, considering what's been happening behind the scenes." Sectonia said.
"But in any case, we don't know where the blade could be, so… I think it might be best we scatter around and check what's changed." David said.
"We'll be able to cover more ground that way." Ace said.
"Agreed. Hmm...it would be best if we check in with our old allies here." Jexi said.
"I'll take a party to Mist, Rydia should still be there." Lucy said.
"Sectonia and I will head for Eblan. I have some condolences to pay Edge, anyway." David said.
"I'll go with Lucy to Mist." Ace said.
"I'll take some of our best martial artists to Fabul. I hear Yang Fang has started training monks again." Ranma said.
"Hmm… Maybe I'll check out Damcyan." Kaede said.
"Me and Azura will go with you." Tear said.
"Well...I still worry about those twins we met." Ruby said.
"Palom and Porom?" Jexi asked.
"Yeah. Those two." Ruby said.
"I think I shall head to Troia." Philia said.
"Would you mind if I accompanied you?" Leonora asked.
"Of course not, Lilliana, you're welcome to come as well." Philia said smiling.
"O-Okay." Lilianna said.
"I shall head to Eblan with David and Lady Sectonia." Phantom said. "I am curious to see a Kingdom inhabited by Ninjas."
"I see. Well, since David and Sectonia are going, I guess we will too." Tapu Koko said.
"I'll go with Ace and Lucy to Mist." Simon said.
"Alright, let's split up our parties accordingly. Who's going with who?" Hope asked.

"Okay guys. You all have your respective missions. As for the rest of us, we'll head to Baron to meet with Cecil." Jack said.
"Alright, let's keep in touch from time to time." Ace said.
"Break off!" they all said as the teams all split off.
"May fate guide your hand." Tsuki said.
And with this, the Hero Alliance's second adventure on the Blue Planet...begins!
