Serah and Noel then make their way to the crystal meteor that landed nearby. on the way there they noticed strange occurrences in the pokemon and the plants nearby it was like different realities blending together. They then push closer to the crystal meteor when a rift opens up in front of them allowing a giant stone snake to come through blocking their path. That monster Noel immediately reconise as onix one of the few monsters that survived up till his time
the Onix then lets out a roar, this is bad Serah thought " lets take him together taken on a ravanger role and begins casting magic at the giant rock snake as Noel uses his weapon attacking it physically , their attacks do not seem to be of much help against the giant monster. Serah then stops her attack and calls out one of her monsters unknowingly as it called to her guiding her to summon it after finding out the onix was a earth elemental creature.
The monster summoned by Serah was Serperior " use leaf blade " was her command her monster then cuts into the Onix with the sharp leaf on its tail causeing the onix to fall back into the rift and disappear. Serah's Serperior then becomes a crystal Mog then turns to Serah "Servant of time. Daughter of chaos. Unto the world unseen, the untamed you guide."
Serah looks at mog confused " the untamed ? how when i trained this one since i first got it " mog responds " this is the result of the paradox, history has been changed , this is your power over monsters kupo " Noel then recalls that there were also monsters fighting on her side as well. Serah and Noel then approach the gate. Nora is also in the area they then take it out on Noel when he tells serah that she can put some of her questions to rest saying that Lightning is dead and that Noel is full of it not believing a word that he said.
Noel then takes Serah's hand and puts it on the crystal meteor in a flash it changes shape he then tells everyone " see that a time gate "but without a key the gate will not open so Nora takes everyone back into town, Noel then explains about the paradox and that the keys used to open the time gate known as artifacts fragments of things that do not belong in a certain time period.
The next morning Serah, Noel and a few others begin to search the city for the artifact. Serah then noticed someone carrying a strange item shaped like a crystal in which Noel reconises and tells Serah that is an artifact and approaches the person. The person carrying the artifact begins to run away. Serah and Noel then give chace cornering the person in the outskirts of town. that person turns out to be a grunt sent by Caius refuses and demands a battle using monsters. Serah steps up to the challenge but is then stopped by Noel who blocks her. " alright, lets do this " he says
the grunt then holds out a crystal and releases a Venipede , Noel summons umbreon. Noel then focuses on the target " use psychic " Umbreon's eyes glow light blue , and the target becomes surrounded in light blue and unable to move, with another command from Noel his umbreon sends it crashing into a near by boulder knocking out the opposing pokemon. The grunt then vanishes dropping the artifact which is then picked up by Noel. He then talks to Serah " with this we can open the gate but ounce we step through you will not be coming back for a long time are you ready to go ? "
Serah looks around at her things and notices that her friends the people in Nora had helped her they then approach her just as Noel and Serah was about to open the gate. Noel makes a promise to Nora that he will keep Serah safe ounce they said their good byes they step into the gate with a burst of light that shot into the heavens Serah and Noel vanish.
