Elsewhere...

A huge and tall mountain stood taller than its neighboring mountains. From afar, one could say that half of the said mountain was already covered by the thick and peaceful white clouds. In reality, it actually does. Its peak was as white as snow, going down until it was only a few more kilometers before it reaches the area where mountain's earth and the clouds itself touched each other, where hues of brown and green colored the mountain until it's very base, with a wide and blue water crashing down.

The tall mountain's base was overgrown with trees as old as time itself, housing many magical creatures of different species. Some flew, others walked and crawled, and others swam. The forest was full of life and chatter as the creatures prepared to embrace the darkness of the night as the sun beyond began to set.

However, a strange wind blew on tree tops, silencing the creatures who've felt it. After a second, silence governed as each creature froze to concentrate on what it was.

Something was wrong, they thought. Something was approaching, they felt. Something big.

There it was again. That strange wind. It blew in the opposite direction of the calm air current. Everyone shivered.

Finally, something boomed, a strong gust of air blew over the trees as a bright and white light broke through the space far above a clearing. Some shrieked and yelped as they tried to hold their ground, trying their best not to be blown away, even though the shockwave of air wasn't strong enough to blow anything away but loose twigs and leaves.

A huge purple creature leaped out from the large portal. It looked down before it dropped itself on the clearing below. The gigantic creature would have created a miniature earthquake if it didn't hover a few feet above the ground before landing as gently as its massive body could. It still made a loud thud! when it landed, but it was better than a miniature earthquake, it's black companion clearly pointed out to it.

"Huh, I'm impressed," the black and small one said as it hovered just beside the tall creature's shoulder. This one was small that the giant purple one could actually eat it in one gulp. "That's actually a very big progress that you've showed me, Palkia."

Palkia rolled its red eyes as it slightly shook its head slightly.

Another giant creature, a dark blue one, emerged from the portal up above. The newcomer floated down slowly and landed gently beside the purple one. Blinking, the blue one darted its red eyes left and right as it looked around.

"Hm..." the blue one said as the portal high above them disappeared. "I was expecting your fourteen-hundred seventy-eighth crater, sis."

"Hah hah," the pink one glared at the blue one. "Your head could use a good crater."

"Now now, you two," the dark one said, floating in between them. It actually softened the giants' glares. "We don't want to destroy the other creature's homes around here, now do we?"

"No, Uncle Darkrai," Palkia grumbled.

Darkrai nodded at Palkia before it turned to the blue one. "Dialga?"

Dialga sighed, and then rolled its eyes. "No, Uncle Darkrai. We don't want to make the lives of those puny creatures to be more miserable than it already is..."

Darkrai quietly stared at the blue one.

Dialga grumbled and turned its eyes on the tall mountain. "Can we please just get this over with?" It turned once again and glared at Palkia. "I don't want to be anywhere near her."

Palkia growled low. "We actually agree on something for once, brother."

Dialga flashed a small smirk. "What? You can't stand yourself as well?"

Palkia roared at Dialga, it's gauntlet-like arms glowed bright pink as the air was filled with an other-worldly hiss.

Darkrai sighed and floated in between their line of glares. "I'm still here, you two..."

Palkia growled long and low as her arms dimmed and went back to normal, its glare never leaving its brother's teasing smirk.

Darkrai sighed again and murmured to itself, "I could use one of Mew's stolen candies right about now..."

"I can give you one if you'll let me punch a hole on that blue bastard's face."

"Deal!" Darkrai suddenly said.

Dialga gasped in surprise. "Wh-what? That is not fair!" he cried.

"I was joking," Darkrai said before turning its attention to the tall mountain. "Jokes aside, I ask you two to bear each others presence and work together of solving this mystery."

"Fine," the siblings grumbled in unison.

Darkrai then turned to the blue one. "Dialga," it extended a hand, gesturing at the mountain. "If you may?"

Dialga nodded and took a step. And another. And another, until his two giant front legs were barely touching the lines of trees. He stared at the mountain, his gaze working up, up, and up.

"Hm..." Dialga hmm'ed as he slowly worked his gaze back down. "Sis needs to go away while I do this one..."

"What?" Palkia asked, angry. "I didn't ask you to go away when I opened that portal to get here!"

Dialga looked over his shoulder to glare at her. "I'm serious. Your space-aura might break the time here and of the time I'll be opening."

Palkia and Darkrai blinked at him. Dialga ignored them and returned his attention back on the mountain.

Darkrai turned to Palkia. "Do as your brother asked, Palkia."

"Grr...fine," she turned and walked to the other edge of the clearing before turning back, ignoring its strong tail from creating a strong sweep on the trees behind her, eliciting a lot of startled cries as a cloud of earth, dust and leaves slowly settled back down.

Darkrai sighed and rubbed its head.

"What?" Palkia asked in annoyance...and in complete innocence.

"Nothing," Darkrai simply said before turning back to Dialga. "Good enough?"

Dialga simply shook his head.

Palkia huffed. "Fine!" She extended her wings and flew up, much to the small creature's relief.

"I should try and calm her down," Darkrai noted as it eyed the floating Palkia up above, who was obviously glaring daggers at Dialga. "Will you be fine on your lonesome?"

Dialga simply nodded, and Darkrai flew to Palkia.

Palkia stared at the approaching Darkrai, which helped her in calming down, if only for a bit. As soon as Darkrai settled on hovering beside her shoulder, she returned her angry gaze at her brother down below.

"Who do you suppose have caused this mess?" Darkrai asked, only to receive a low growl as a response. Darkrai rolled its eye. "Oh, but of course you'll blame him." It crossed its arms as it stared at the concentrating time dragon. "But my bet is on that Cresselia. I still think she wants to frame me of causing this."

"You and Aunt Cres are really angry at each other..." Palkia spoke out loud.

"I could say the same to you and your brother."

Palkia growled lowly at that.

Darkrai crossed its arms. "It's not really my fault if Mew favors me more than her."

Down below, Dialga had his eyes closed as he concentrated. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his pupils glowed in hues of white and blue.

"Now...let me see..."
