A few weeks after the battle at Nohr, the heroes soon began their journey to find all of Zygarde's cells and rescue Hope from his new post as protector of the Multiverse Tree. The group was currently riding the red double decker bus with the Professor and Luke as he held a letter.
"So, this thing is legit, right?" Jexi asked looking it over.
"I know. I thought it was Luke pulling an actual trick on me." Layton said.
"What? I would never do anything like that!" Luke said as the other read over the letter.
Professor,
I hope this letter finds you well. As for me, I am in quite a predicament. You see, the London we know and love has been thrown into absolute chaos. To complicate matters, the calamity I speak of does not take place in your time. This may be difficult to believe, but I am writing to you from 10 years in the future. I know this is a lot to take in, but I'll explain it all soon. For now, I ask that you head to the clock shop on Midland Road in Baldwin. I look forward to seeing you again.
Your student,
Luke Triton
"So this is seriously from Luke 10 years into the future?" Akane asked.
"Well, this doesn't really surprise us much, considering what happened last week." Robin said.
One week earlier…
Important people from all over the world were seated at different tables, the heroes getting a large one.
"Wow. I can't believe all these people came just for a time machine." Tails said.
"Well, it is pretty big science. Maybe not to us but to a lot of people." Sci-Twi said. "Look! Even the Inspector came." She said pointing to Chelmey and Barton eating like a couple of wild animals.
"What ever happened to good manners?" Natsu said with food in his mouth.
"You're one to talk about manners." Sanji shouted at him.
"Hey, who's that really important guy over there?" Pinkie said pointing to a man in a brown suit.
"The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: Bill Hawkes. Apparently he's suppose to be the guest of honor here." Jexi said.
"And what about him?" Pinkie asked pointing to a man in a lab coat.
"That's Dr. Alain Stanghun. He's the one who invented the time machine we're here to see." Jexi said.
"What about him?" Pinkie asked pointing to the right.
"That's a tree. We're outside." Jexi said. "What I still can't believe is that they invited him." He added pointing to a table where Flux and the Universal Villains were eating.
"Apparently, Amadeus and the Prime Minister use to be close at some point so he was invited as a special guest." Layton said.
"Now he's making friends with government officials? This just spells trouble." Rainbow said.
After a short introduction, the prime minister stood onto the podium and began to speak.
"Today is a monumental day not only for our great nation, but for the entire human race. Since the beginning of time, we humans have strived to transcend our natural limits. We've conquered the air, land and sea. We've even been into outer space. But there is one area we have not yet conquered...Time. Indeed, travelling through time is a dream many thought was out of reach for humanity...until now. Ladies and Gentleman, I hope you join me in ushering in a new era for mankind!" Hawks said to the crowd.
"Such moving words from our fearless leader." Stanghun said. "Now, if you could be so kind as to take a seat inside."
Hawks did as the good scientist said and stepped inside without a moments thought. "Now, prepare to travel through time!" Stanghun said activating the machine. It began to whirl and wizz before sparks were seen coming from it.
"I don't think that's suppose to happen." Nami said.
"Get down!" Kid shouted as everyone got down as the machine exploded. Once the dust had settled, the machine in question was in ruins with the scientists and the Prime Minister missing.
Back in the present
"Ever since then, no one's seen the scientists or even the Prime Minister." Indigo said.
"So, think we might get our answers from this clock shop?" Luke asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Layton said as the bus stopped.
As they got off, they headed up the road to a small shop at the end. Entering it, they were surrounded by clocks with a gigantic one at the end of it.
"Ah. Welcome to our humble clockshop." Said an old couple. "My name is Cogg and this is my wife Spring." the old man replied.
"Well, we're the Dimensional Heroes and this is Professor Layton." Jexi said.
"Ah. We've been expecting you. Please step in the back and wait." Cogg said.
The heroes did as the old man said as Spring pulled a level, making the hands on the large clock spin as they felt the building shake. Once everything had settled, they hurried back to the door to see the place had changed a lot in the span of a few minutes. "What...is going on here?" Yu said looking out.
"Is this...the future?" Pinkie said.
