"You're certain of this? While you were in the redux in Paris, you met the actual Royal Knights?" Morph asked.

"Well, I never really interacted with them, but yeah. I saw them, alive and kicking." Ryo said.

Team Revival was hearing back from Ryo about his work to find Normal. Currently, Ryo came back to the House built on Mele Mele island.

"What about Normal? Any sign of him in Paris?" Connor asked.

"No...but when I returned to present day Paris I found something interesting...he had a lab built under the Eiffel Tower." Ryo said. "However, there weren't any signs of him being there for awhile."

"Looks like we've reached a dead end." Betty said.

"Yeah. looks like it." Connor said. "But I wanna thank you for helping us out, Ryo. You're pretty cool to have around. I'm glad we had you join."

"Hey...I'm honestly glad too." Ryo said as he looked right at Betty and Morph's way.

"Not again…" Hawkeye said.

"Yeah, he's definitely interested in the *ahem* Ladies. In more ways than one." Connor said.

"So… what do we do now since Normal's trail has gone cold?" Mustang asked.

"Not much we can do. Until Normal makes a move, there's nothing we can do. Still...when I first met him on that ship...I got the sense he wasn't revealing everything about himself." Connor said.

"What do you mean?" Volta asked.

"Normal took apart one of my guns because of his curiosity of it. But...he didn't seem all that curious actually. It was like...he was putting on an act." Connor said.

"An act?" Brandish asked.

"There were several things that's made me suspect Normal ever since. When the Elements fell apart on XGard, he completely joined another group right after Dragon's death. He didn't even seem to care." Connor said. "Forming an alliance with Flux and Despair, even going as far as collecting DNA from Ryo. I just can't read him at all. It's like...he's going through the motions. Like...all of it was for some bigger plan."

"Yeah, I noticed that too. What's his game?" Ryo asked.

"Hard to say." Connor said.

"But...since we're still on the subject...I did find these photos." Ryo said showing them to Connor.

"Let's see….He's meeting with someone. Wait...that guy. That's Blackbeard!" Connor said.

"Blackbeard? As in the most dangerous man in the New World right now? That Blackbeard?" Morph asked.

"Yeah, that's right. The one who killed Whitebeard and became an emperor. And these photos. Frieza, Cell...even Aizen. All of these are major villains in their own right." Connor said.

"And Normal met with all of them." Ryo said.

"This goes far beyond a simple alliance or plan. This is something major." Connor said. "I say we…." Connor said before they felt the ground shake. "Whoa. Was that an earthquake?"

"Uh...Connor...you might wanna see this." Volta said looking out the window.

Connor approached the window as they saw a large beam of light drill right into Melemele Island as the island was slowly vanishing.

"Yeah...that doesn't look...good." Connor said as he saw more lights not far away. "We need to leave, now."

"Come on. We'll take the…" Betty said before a light hit their ship. "Crud."

"We can take my car." Ryo said pointing to the small red car.

"A Mini Cooper?!" Betty asked.

"No way we're all fitting in that!" Morph said.

"Hey, it's the best I got, okay?" Ryo asked.

They then saw more of the Alola region vanished as they saw some Trumbreak and Toucannon struggling to get away as Poni Island vanished.

"Get in the freaking car!" Connor yelled as he scrambled to the Mini Cooper as the others followed suit. "Punch it, Ryo!"

"On it!" Ryo said driving off down the road.

"What's the plan? Where are we gonna escape to?" Morph asked.

"There's a trade gate here on Melemele. It'll take us to New World once we go through. It's not the best plan but it's all we got." Connor said.

"Sold." most of them said as Brandish reduced most of them so they would fit in the car.

"What the hell is going on? It's like the end of the world out there." Morph said.

"No clue...but I really don't wanna stay and find out." Betty said.

"Hurry Ryo, I don't think I wanna find out what happens when that light hits us!" Connor said.

"Almost to the trade gate!" Ryo said as they saw the large wave of people running in to escape this fate.

"Son of a...we're going to end up running them over!" Volta said.

"No we aren't." Ryo said drawing his .357 Python as he fired knocking over a sign, using it as a ramp as he sailed over the crowd and through the gate.

"Whoo-Hoo!" Connor called as they warped through the gate and into Oak Tree town, Ryo making his Mini Skid to a halt and almost knocking Leonis over as he screamed.

"A Car?" Gemina asked.

"Saeba? Is that you?" Harumi asked.

"Well… little Harumi. You've grown since I last saw you." Ryo said.

"Don't even think about it. So, what happened? Those lights hit Alola too, didn't they?" Harumi asked.

"Uh...yeah. How did…" Connor began.

"Cause it's not just Alola, it's happening...everywhere." Zexi said as he and Heart struggled to get the gates closed.

'They started out in small waves at first but now its evolved into a full on annihilation." Sam said.

"What the hell is happening? It's like an apocalypse." Connor asked as Brandish restored everyone. "Does anyone know who's causing this? One of the Color Gods, maybe?"

"True, the Color Gods do have the power to erase worlds but they wouldn't go to something this extreme." Kenshin said.

Harumi was looking worried for a moment. "Tokyo has just recovered from a crisis, and now it's about to be hit with another one,and even worse than Junko's scheme of all things."

"I know you're worried about your family but I'm sure they're fine." Connor said. "No, I know they're fine."

"Thanks for the cheer up." Harumi said.

"So if it isn't the color gods...then what the hell is it?" Morph asked as they looked up to the sky.
