Traveling through the Gate to Grymoire, the group, along with the Twins and Tama, arrived in a Forest Area.
"So this must be Grymoire." Lann said.
"It must be. Strange to see a world like this. Everything is so different from our last destination." Princess Twilight said.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool alright…" Steven said before looking at the others. "But, um… are you guys okay?"
Most of the group saw a lot of the members, including Lann and Reynn, as chibi sized figures with big heads.
"You tell me." Garnet said nonchalantly as Amythest laughed.
"Uh, No, we're NOT okay!" Pearl snapped.
"Whoa! What happened to you guys?" Ace asked.
"We've been chibi-ed." Rainbow said.
"Do not the-worry. I'm sure this is how everyone in this world must look. Enna Kros just wanted to make sure you the-blended in." Tama said.
"I don't know about you guys, but me and the other Six Heroes are getting a sense of Deja vu." Vargas said.
"Please tell me this lasts forever." Amythest piped in.
"I'm sure we'll return to normal when we leave Grymoire." Jexi said.
"If any of you take pictures of me, I will hunt you down." Emo said coldly.
"I don't know. I think we look kind of cute like this." Sectonia said.
"C-cute?" David asked in a blush.
"S-surely, you jest!" Leopardmon said looking away in a blush.
"Lady Sectonia is right, you all look cute like this." Ace said.
"Dave, are you blushing?" Mark said with a smile on his face.
"S-so what if I am? It's not every day you end up a chibi and called cute." David said flustered.
"This world seems to have some kind of properties with size, keeping us in these forms." Garnet theorized.
"So we're in a situation where the normal laws of stuff don't apply? What kinda world is this?" Kazuichi asked.
"Who cares? It's funny." Amythest said.
"In WHAT way is this funny?!" Pearl asked.
"It's also cute. Besides, it isn't affecting all of us." Starlight said looking at her Raichu.
"Hey, our Pokemon are all normal sized!" Indigo said.
"Huh...guess the rule doesn't apply to them." Jexi said. "Would explain why Enna allowed the competitors in here."
"I dunno about you guys, but this might make fighting things difficult." Akane said. "Is there any way we can, I dunno, change outta these forms or something?"
"Maybe we'll figure it out on the way to that castle." Simon said.
"And...what castle would that be?" Jexi asked as they were only in a forest.
"We should probably focus on getting out of these woods first, and then see about a castle." Hope said.
"Huh?" Lann said as they spotted a yellow bird with an eggshell on its head. "Hello. I spy another mirage."
"That is the called a Chocochick. Go on and imprism the-it." Tama said as Lann ran at it before returning to normal form.
"I see. We can return to normal in this world during battle." Robin said.
"Thank goodness." CP said.
"A weird concept...but it is very convenient." Lemon said.
"Kind of stupid though." Saki said.
"Okay! First, you need to weaken the-it, and then, capture it using a prism!" Tama said.
"Just like catching Pokemon…" Hope muttered.
"Okay...here goes!" Lann said attacking it before hurling a crystal as the chick went inside of it. "Wow...I can see the little thing moving around inside." he said as he returned to chibi form.
"Pretty the-neat huh? And stacking it is just as good." Tama said sitting on top of Lann's head.
"Stacking?" Omnimon asked.
"I see...when you were on Lann's head at the coffee shop, you were stacking." Naomi said.
"That is the-right. Stacking mirages can lead to new abilities and strengths in battle." Tama said.
"Hmm… So switching between forms change stack arrangements for the two of them, therefore adding an extra layer of strategy. Very interesting." Leopardmon said.
"Well in order for them to do that, they would have to change forms outside of battle, right?" Hisui asked.
"He's right. Whichever form they're in will heavily influence the flow of battle." David said.
"I guess the same would go for us, like whichever form we're in would change our fighting style." Spade said.
"However there are the-also instances where there will be very strong Mirages. They have special dimensions called Murkrifts. You have to be very strong to be able to the-imprism them." Tama said.
"Uh... what do these Murkrifts look like?" Mark asked. "Because... I think Lann just jumped into one."
They all saw Lann enter a cube-like space with red eyes.
"Oh, hell no!" Kazuichi said as everyone followed him into a purple dimension that was home to a chibi-like purple beast.
"It's a Behemoth!" Hope said.
"Why did you drag us in here? Why?" Fuyuhiko said as the Behemoth just swiped its claws at them.
A few moments later, the group was spat out of the gate back into Nine Wood Hills.
"Oh no. Did you all get defeated already?" Enna Kros asked.
"Ngh… Is everyone alright?" Omnimon asked.
"No…" Eddy moaned.
"Wait, how are we back here? I'm pretty sure that thing was about to carve us up." Indigo said.
"Because someone whisked you away before you could be attacked." Enna said.
"Well… It was true that we didn't have a lot of time to react." UlforceVeedramon said.
"Yes. And Tama was the one who did it." Enna said.
"That's the right. I have the power to rewind time a little. But I can only do it so many the-times." Tama said.
"You hear that, Mr. Mirage Master? No more leaping before looking." Scarlet said.
"That's right. We should stay away from those Murkrifts until we know what we're up against." David said.
"This is just ridiculous." Ace muttered. "Just...how could a Behemoth wipe us all out in a single blow? I don't get it."
"Because a certain someone thought that it was a good idea to just charge into the damn Murkrift." David said.
"Hey, I was just...curious." Lann said.
"Well you know how "Curiosity killed the Cat" goes right?" Saki asked.
"Well, the cat never dragged others down with him." Emo said. "We got lucky, but your "curiosity" might've gotten someone killed. Think about that, why don't you?"
"Enough, Emo." David said.
"There's a lot about Grymoire we don't understand that's different from our worlds. We have to make sure we know all we can." Mickey said. "The small bodies, the Mirage's… everything."
"Uh...maybe not everything." Dan said. "Huh?" he said seeing a woman in a chocobo dress run by. "Who was that?"
"Oh our new...visitor. She claims to have somehow ended up here." Enna said.
"Not the weirdest thing we've seen today." Maki said.
"Let's see about talking to her." Hope said.
The group then headed to the girl's position in the North Prominent.
"Choco-boco-lina! Oh! Ahem…" the girl said. "Hello and how do you do?"
"Uh...and who are you?" Hope asked.
"You can call me Chocolatte!" she said.
"Wait...I recognize her. It was a little hard to tell but...I think she's from Final Fantasy XIII-2." Rainbow whispered.
"Yeah, I can definitely see the resemblance." David whispered. "Which means...she's opening a shop here."
"Which means quality items for the siblings." Rainbow whispered.
"Well that's lucky." Eddy said.
"Huh, you almost looked like Chocolina for a moment there." Spade said. "Are you a friend of hers by any chance?"
"Spade...she doesn't just look like Chocolina...that is Chocolina." Rainbow whispered.
"But why does she call herself Chocolatte?" Spade whispered back.
"Don't ask me. Maybe she's trying a new name in a new place." Rainbow said.
"She must've travelled a long way from Nova Chrysalia if she decided to set up shop here." Spade said.
"No matter the time period, she always seems to set up shop. That's the weird part, how it seems like she's always there." David said.
"Sorry to bring this up, but I spot a pink fairy floating behind Tama." Eleanor said.
"Huh?" most of the group said before something pulled Tama to the ground.
"Ow. Show yourself! I know it is the-you, Serafie!" Tama said.
"You had it coming." a small fairy like creature said flying down. "You know, when you awakened, you could have woken me up too. I don't remember raising you to be a selfish selfer-poop."
"I don't remember you the-raising me at all!" Tama said.
"Wow… This Serafie girl is more emo than… Well, Emo." David said.
"I heard that, Ice Boy!" Emo said.
"I have a feeling it just adds to her charm." Sectonia said.
"Just who is this chick?" Gray asked.
"Me? Just your normal local wind pixie aka Serafie. My hobbies include gossipmongering and uh...oh I'm also real good at hoarding things too." she said.
"She seems a bit more upbeat than Emogoblin here." Stoj said.
"I heard that too!" Emo said. "Could you maybe NOT insult the guy with 100 magic books?!"
"Emo, Stoj, let's not start a Magic fight here, okay?" Hope asked.
"He's right. So, Serafie, you must have a reason for appearing before us besides telling us who you are." Ace said.
"Right, it's about those prisms you got." Serafie implied.
"What about them?" Lann asked.
"Well, you can't carry so many Mirages at once, right? Thats where this pixie right here comes in. Enna Kros Made me a special Prism case which keeps all captured mirages safe." Serafie explained.
"Long story short, if we need to offload and swap out Mirages, you can help with that." Hope concluded.
"That's right. Enna Kros created a special case to hold all extra prismariums. So any extras you have, I can hold it for ya." Serafie said. "Just plonk the ones you don't need in and yoink the ones you do need out. All plonking and yoinking must be done within the confines of the Nine Wood Hills area or a place with a strong connection. Additional terms, conditions and restrictions may apply."
"I think we got the jist of it." Naomi said. "So, if we want to swap out Mirages, we need to come all the way back here, right?"
"Yes. Also I have a special prismarium that belongs to one of my tribe. Treat it with the same love and affection you give me." Serafie said handing it to Lann.
"Serafie's sort of a special the-case." Tama said.
"At any rate… We should probably head back to Grymoire. I'm kind of curious as to what kind of world it actually is." David said.
"Let's just make sure to stay away from the Murkrift this time." Gallantmon said.
"Agreed." they said.
Approaching the gate, Enna Kros greeted them. "Well...seems you all have the hang of things. So I should be going." Enna said.
"You are the-leaving us?" Tama asked.
"Yes. You handle things now." Enna said.
"No problem. I'll lock this place down like a Malboro's bottle of mouthwash. That's a Serafie guarantee." Serafie said.
"But...where are you going?" Sakura asked.
"Somewhere else of course." Enna said.
"But we have so many questions." Reynn said.
"Now now. You all can figure things out. I can't do everything for all of you." Enna said.
"You've barely done anything." Naomi said.
"Thing is each world has its own set of rules such as water dousing fire and light banishing darkness." Enna said.
"So basically...you can't help us because it violates certain rules of this world." Hope said.
"Exactly." Enna said.
"But...that's crazy. Just...who are you?" Lann said.
"Who am I? Well...I'm god." Enna said before light surrounded her as she vanished.
"A god? We didn't realize it until now?" Hope asked.
"Does it really matter?" Saki asked.
"Kinda." Hope said.
"We can worry about that later. Shall we head back to Grymoire?" Ace asked.
"Good idea, it's best we continue on." Hope said.
The group soon entered the gate and found themselves back in Grimoire in their chibi forms.
"Still so weird to get used to this." Hope said.
"Well….we gotta make do with it. Cause I get the feeling we have a long journey ahead of us." Jexi said.
"Right! But we should be fine as long as we ignore those boss Mirage rifts." Eddy said.
"Murkrifts and yes. Let's go." David said.
