It was in a small little deserted area that walking through these wilds were a few familiar figures eager for info. It was the Shining Hope Squad.
"Tell me again why were out in the middle of nowhere?" Toma asked.
"This isnt the middle of nowhere, i think. Look, there have been some things I was curious about so I decided to retrace the steps of Jexi's group all the way to here." Hope said.
"According to the logs, this place is supposed to be where the Akbadain Ruins are." Cyrille said.
"It's one of the first Azran ruins they ever visited. Its the one that gave that prophecy." Hope said.
"Prophecy? ABout them? It's got nothing to do with us, does it?" Lacy asked, confused.
"Well i think thats because Jexi and the others didnt look hard enough. Theres bound to be some more info in there than them." Hope said. "But we wouldnt have this problem if someone didnt print the map the wrong way…" Hope said looking at Ibuki.
"Hey, get off my back. I wasn't even paying attention." Ibuki said.
"Besides, didn't those ruins collapse after what happened with the professor?" Sonia asked.
"People like to think so. Azran made things don't go down that easily, take it from locations like San Grio or Froenborg. Those are places I'll never forget." Hope said.
They soon arrived to a caved in entrance.
"Looks like the entrance collapsed then the ruins did. Well, no reason we can't get through. Just gotta blow it open." Kazuichi said getting out the explosives.
"Is there a non-explody way to clear the way into some ancient remains?" Leanne asked.
"Its not like we have any other options. Most of the puzzles in there probably croaked after Monte d'Or." Vashyron said.
The entrance was then blown open as they waltzed right inside. Inside were several runes and scriptures on the walls all in the ancient Azran language.
"Looks like we found what Jexi and the others found here…" Zephyr said., "But uh… does anybody speak azran?"
"We seriously need an Archeologist…" Hope said before a hand touched him as did the others, they turned to see Robin behind them.
"So...this is where you went off." Robin said.
"Robin! What...what are you doing here?" Hope asked.
"I followed you after I noticed someone had taken my notes about the azran from my room in the library." Robin said looking at Titanica.
"I told you you should have shrunk down some more…" Toma said.
"But...I'll let it go since this is about knowledge of the ancient past." Robin said.
"Whoo…" Hope said.
"So why did you want to come back here?" Robin said. "Is it possible you wanted to know about the prophecy?"
"Yeah, hugely." Hope said.
"If we wanted to scope out Azran remains, why not get Layton and his colleagues to come?" Lucifer asked.
"Well… i tried. But i couldn't get in touch with the professor." Hope said.
"You wouldn't have much luck anyway. He's currently on a lecture tour around Europe right now." Robin said. "But, its fortunate that I still remember the way the Azran write."
"Alright. Just so were clear, this is the spot where you found the prophecy, right?" Korra asked.
"Yes. As I remember…'In the Future there will be a great threat to the worlds. A great dragon will rise up and try to destroy these defenseless worlds.'" Robin said. "Obviously a reference to when we fought Rayquaza back in Hyrule."
"My money's on Acnologia though. We've seen him in action in Fiore, and boy is he ruthless." Hope said.
"Hmmm….Ah!" Robin said gasping.
"What, hope was right?"
"No...the lines about the dragon and the great threat….they don't connect." Robin said.
"Hey, look at this." Kazuichi said seeing the message of the Dimensional heroes. "Uh.."
"Gather the 15 and the colorful hunter. This is...wait...this actually has another translation." Robin said. "Gather the 15 groups, they will be our only hope when the time has come."
"15 groups?" Hope said as the room started to shake as the runes on the wall were suddenly glowing.
"Is that a good or a bad sign?" Lacy said.
"I don't know, this did not occur last time." Robin said as behind them rose a small pedestal with a glowing orb on it. It shine before shooting out 15 lights, all of them overshadowed.
"What...is all of this?" Mickey asked.
"Gather the 15...they will be our only hope." a voice echoed as the first shadow was filled in by Jexi's group. "Group 1! Dimensional Heroes led by Jexi."
The Second was Hope's Group.
"Group 2, Shining Hope Squadron led by Hope."
The next to be filled in was Spectra with his group.
"Group 3! Spectra Force led by Spectra!"
Next was Zexi's group with with 4 silhouettes still dark.
"Group 4! Zexi's group led by Zexi! Note: Group not yet complete."
"Okay, we already know about these guys. So what are we…?" Fuyuhiko said before the next light showed Skyler and Jane with a few shaded in figures.
"Group 5! Freedom Seekers led by Skyler! Group not yet complete."
"So 5 groups so far… 10 more to go." Hope said.
"Uh...its not done yet." Toma said as the next silhouette was filled in with the remainder of the Vexos along with Hoopa.
"Them?" Inga asked.
"Group 6! Wanderers led by Volt Luster!"
"Wanderers… so volts not bad anymore…" Hope said.
The next to be filled in was a familiar red robot with five other robots.
"Group 7! Team Protoman led by Protoman!"
"Protoman...so he has a role to play too." Robin said as next to be filled in was another robot group.
"Group 8! Team Colonel led by Colonel!"
"Colonel… he's the one we met back at Ylisse." Hope said.
The next was Squad 8, who they had met recently.
"Group 9! Universal Police Squad 8 led by Carlson! Group halfway complete!"
Then the last shown were several figures that the group didn't recognize except for one.
"That bug thing….that's Sectonia!" Ciel said.
"I guess we can assume she's good now, right?" Hope asked nervously.
"Group 10! Brave Adventurers led by David Ishihara!"
"David Ishihara… which one of them is him?" Lacy said.
The light shone on a single individual. He was around Jexi and Hopes age, with short blond hair and a black shirt and having a sword near his side. The lights then shut off as they retracted back into the orb.
"Okay, so that's 10 groups known so far… that means there's only 5 left." Kazuichi said.
"And this whole prophecy stuff wanted us in the mix, our own team. The Azran knew from the start you weren't supposed to be on Jexis team, you had to start a team of your own." Cyrille said.
A tablet revealed each ot the names of Hope's group, along with their own aliases.
The Gutsy Cat of Might: Fuyunyan!
"It used you japanese name… shouldnt it be Hovernyan now?" Hope asked.
"When you've been called something for so long...its sticks. Besides, both don't really matter do they?" Fuyunyan asked.
The Exorcising Jiang Shi: Hsien Ko!
The Giant Conqueror: Titanica!
The Man with a Pure heart of cherry blossoms: Ichiro Ogami!
The boy who changed fate: Zephyr!
The Wielder of Darkness: Riku!
The Mechonis Cyborg: Fiora!
The Keyblade Mage: Aqua!
The King of Disney: Mickey!
The Revolutionary: Sabo!
The Demon King of Pride: Lucifer!
The Mystic Fox Hybrid: Daisy Ginova!
The Survivor of War: Mukuro Ikusaba!
The One who controls Luck: Nagito Komaeda!
The Human Planet Explorer: Inga!
The Kickboxing Champion: Mary!
And...the strong willed Avatar: Korra!
The tablet then went dark as it turned to dust.
"Well, that was interesting." Daisy said.
"You know…" Hope said. "We should go out and meet these teams that we havent met yet."
"What, like a meet and greet? How can we know where to find em?" Fuyuhiko asked.
"Well I wanna start with the Brave Adventurers. And there maybe a place we can look, the Kalos Region." Hope said.
"Uh...a little late for that. I heard from Rainbow there was one in Kalos but they already left." Robin said.
"How are we supposed to find them, then?" Hope demanded.
"Wait...I think I remember seeing that David kid before….yes. I remember him. He was friends with the deceased Hifumi Yamada….and recently I remember seeing someone resembling him in Hoenn." Mukuro said.
"Then Hoenn it is." Hope said. "Hopefully the whole teams there."
