34. ACT 5 Rufus's Route: Justice for All

"So this facility will lead us to Area Zero?" Rufus asked, staring at Zero Gate.

"That's the one. The Zero Gate." Florian nodded as Lapis approached the edge and see a large puff of clouds.

"Whoooooa." Lapis gasped. "Look at all the clouds here!"

"LP, you gotta be careful." Nadia approached. "You don't wanna— Holy smoke!"

"This is the Great Crater of Paldea? I can hardly see what's below from all this cloud." Swin remark.

"You'll be surprised on what's down below the clouds." Renne approached with the others.

"Hmm..." Jingliu looking down. "I can sense something abnormal in the crater. I did felt it when I was nearby and saw you kids coming out of that place."

"That was you?" Noel narrow his eyes.

"Heeeeeey!" A voice called out as they all turn and see Leon, Lillie, Gladion, Elio, Lunamine, Guzma, and Selene approached.

"Oh hey guys. What are you doing here?" Florian asked

"Ooh! Are you here for a Pokemon Battle?" Nemona eye sparkling.

"Haha! I don't mind the battle but our Pokemon are exhausted from the situation, remember?" Leon chuckled.

"Oh, right."

"We came here because Director Clavell informed us where you are heading." Gladion said. "We heard much about Area Zero from Renne, Victor, Marnie, Hop, and Bede and we kinda curious about the place."

"You don't mind if we join you?" Lillie asked

"We don't mind." Renne said. "Right, dear leader?"

"The more the merrier." Rufus replied. "Now then, shall we?"

They begin to head inside but notice the door was lock.

"Huh? That's odd. It's not normally locked." Arven said.

"Not to mention I thought I sense a magical barrier among the clouds in the crater. Seems we did hit the right place." Neve summon his Keyblade, aim and fired a beam of light to open the gate and go inside.

"Well at least the lights are on." Nemona said.

"Hmm. But the teleportation, isn't." Renne pointed out.

"It was working the last time we were here. But..." Kieran said

"Right. Our enemies clearly is Area Zero. Penny, can you try to get the teleporter working with your technomancy?" Renne asked

"I can try, but I may need help with the heavy encryption." Penny replied as she summon a screen and begin her typing with Renne and Fuuka using their ARCUS Alpha as the Rotom floats and they begin help typing in.

"Hmm..." Claire hummed, looking at the machines. "I wonder what these machines are use for."

"Judging from the looks, they seems to be running calculations." Lechter replied.

"It wouldn't surprised me if that was the case." Rufus replied as a few minute pass and then the teleporter was working.

"There. We managed to get the teleporter working. But we better be careful from here." Penny said.

"Right, we don't know what's in store for us, so we should be careful, everyone." Aether agreed as everyone nodded and go into the teleporter and teleport to Research Station No. 1.

"All right, we're in the research lab one." Florian said.

"Oh, you guys should get a heads up." Carmine said. "Trust me, it will blow you away."

"Ooh~ Can't wait to see this." Nadia giggled as they walk out of the lab.

(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet ost - Area Zero)

Rufus and the others except the Paldea Gang, Carmine and Kieran, and Renne eye widen as they saw the mysterious and beautiful landscape of Area Zero.

"Whoooooooa!" Lapis gasped as she and everyone else except Hakumen and Jingli, the Paldea Gang, Renne, Kieran and looking at the railing of the large waterfall in the distance.

"Wooow." Rouge looking around. "This place is absolutely radiant! It's like a nature of jewels!"

"So this is Area Zero?" Albedo asked

"Woooow! It's absolutely beautiful!" Paimon exclaimed

"It's completely breathtaking..." Nadia agreed.

"Yeah... who knew something like this exist underneath the mountains and crater." Swin agreed.

"Indeed. I never knew such beauty within this abundance of nature." Rufus admits.

"Yeah... I... have no words for this." Neve agreed, staring at astound.

"Imagine my surprise when I came here with the Professor. If Blueblanc were to be here, I can imagine how his twisted version of beauty may be." Noel said.

"Hmph. The view is not bad." Shadow said.

"Hehe. I think its more than not bad." Arios said.

"Yeah. So this is where all those Tera Crystals are from?" Kevin asked

"Yeah. You'll see more of them down below." Penny nodded

Ries sighed. "It seems we have a long way down then.

"Hmm..." Wario rub his chin. "I'm suddenly gaining an idea of making money."

"Ooh, yeah!" Waluigi pupils change to $. "This place will be a sweet deal."

"You know, this place sounds like a perfect place to be aware from society." Hazama said.

"No kidding. If this place existed, it would have been a hideout for my family and such." Raven said

"Yeah... at least it better than Salem's hideout..." Emerald agreed.

"Hmm..." Xiao just stare.

"Surprise about ti, Xiao?" Aether asked with a smile.

"No."

Aether chuckled. "No need to hide it, even behind that mask."

"..." Xiao look away.

"By the way, you can remove your mask. It's just us and our allies."

"What about that organization those two are working with?" Xiao looking at Noel and Tartaglia.

"Well... they're gonna bound to know eventually. No point in hiding it." Aether nervous smile

Xiao sighed. "All right."

Xiao remove his mask as it vanished, revealing his golden irises with avian pupils, and red eyeshadow. Xiao also has a purple diamond marking on his forehead.

"So what's what you look like behind that mask?" Tartaglia asked. "Wow."

"Seriously. Aren't you too handsome?" Noel asked

"No. Besides, isn't everyone here basically handsome or beautiful-looking people? I'm no different." Xiao replied "Well, except for that priest and that snake."

"What?!" Kevin jawdropped. "Hey, I'm pretty good looking just so you know! Ladies love me! Right Ries?"

"No." Ries said bluntly.

"How could you say that, Ries, after all our wonderful time together?!"

"Why are you making it sound like we're in a relationship?"

"Aren't you?" Renne grinned

"Please don't give everyone the wrong idea, miss Bright." Ries muttered.

"Oh? I couldn't help but wonder that, due to your unique relationship, Sister." Emblem Loewe comment.

"Please don't joke with me, Bladelord..."

"But wow! I've never seen such a beautiful place!" Lapis replied.

"This is just one of the beauties Paldea has to offer. The world itself is larger as it seems. What you know Lapis is just one of the small glimpses of it." Renne replied

"Wow! I wanna see them all!"

"That's a big dream." Swin sweatdrop.

The Device in Rufus's pocket vibrated as he pull it and see it change to orange to green.

"The device means we've found the direct location, doesn't it formal governor general?" Jingliu asked.

"Indeed it does." Rufus nodded as he look down. "It seems down below we go."

"Then we better brace ourselves for a long walk." Hakumen said.

"Do we really have to walk down?" Nadia groaned. "I don't wanna... S, can we ride Rapidash as we go down?"

"Give me a break, Nadia." Swin sighed. "This is just couple of walks. You can handle it."

"So how deep it is?" Emerald asked.

"About... 3,300 feet below." Renne unanswered

"That long, huh?" Raven asked.

"Very long." Emblem Lief nodded.

"Okay, it's official. S, carry me down." Nadia request

Swin palmface.

"If I may." Magearna approached as her soul-heart beam point to below. "Your friend is down below."

"All right. Come on, everyone. Let's go and be careful." Florian said as they nodded and they begin to walk down.

"Watch your step from here, it's a big slope as we continue." Arven said.

"Well it is kinda like walking down the hill. But you're right, we should be careful." Tartaglia agreed.

"I've notice there are also some wild Pokemon living here too." Aether looking and see Wild Talonflames, Venomoth, and Wild Donphans sleeping and minding its own business.

"Well, Area Zero is home to the strongest Pokemon, but most of that strength was the Paradox Pokemon." Florian replied.

"Have any of those Pokemon left Area Zero?" Lechter asked

"Two of them, yes. Great Tusk and Iron Treads." Arven answered. "They were the Titans Pokemon."

"They were quite formidable. Both they're both Ground Types. So we managed to turn that in our favor." Renne replied.

"I meant to ask. Almost everyone here has a Pokemon companion. Does everyone in the world have these companions?" Lapis asked

"Well, not all of them, Lapis-san." Aigis replied. "But in this world and among the Pokemon Region, they do co-exist with humans."

"So Pokemon didn't co-exist with humans?"

"In the ancient past, perhaps not. Pokemon are mysterious creatures after all. There is still much we still don't know about them." Renne replied.

"Right. After all, Pokemon co-exist with us for only three years ago when the Subspace Emissary Incident happened and our worlds merge with a world connected to Smash Bros." Noel casually wrap his arms over his head. "But if you ask me, I'm glad that we co-exist with them. Because Pokemon are not just mysterious, but they're also powerful."

"Really? What makes Pokemon more beautiful than humans?" Lapis asked.

"Well, humans in the Pokemon world don't possess abilities like they do, especially element manipulations. All worlds are different. They have their own set of rules, their reality and how people interact with each other."

"Right. Like for example, they don't have Orbal energy from the Spirit Veins. They relied on a different sort of power. Pokemon or machinery from what I can tell." Claire nodded.

"Not to mention Pokemon like Rotom are incredible to have and use with our Rotom Phones." Penny replied. "There is many pokemon with amazing abilities. And yet, we humans are no different for them. We humans are always a curious bunch. There are some things that we can do to help Pokemon too."

"Like helping them grow stronger!" Nemona smirked. "With encouragement, love, and training, they evolve into something greater! Pokemon evolve when they have more experience in battle. Just as we train to grow stronger."

"It takes a guiding hand to help support each other and grow stronger together." Florian chuckled. "Right, Koraidon?"

"Yes!" Koraidon happily growled.

"So in other words, they're not pets, or tools to use, but our companions who we place our trust. Humans and Pokemon can help create amazing possibles together."

"Like for example, Alcremie. The Cream Pokemon. Alchemie's body is made out of cream and comes with various flavors for many pastry chefs to seek to have Alcremie as a partner. Alcremie's cream is the both riched and sweeter. Like all of Katie bake foods."

"Whoa! So you mean Pokemon can help us make even greater food?!" Lapis eye sparkle.

"Not just food. But every daily life. Clothing, purifying the water, helping cook, all manner of things. Just as humans can do things to help them in return. Like the Rotom phones, technology, help take care of them. Which is why People and Pokemon must see each other as equals and partners. Never see Pokemon as tools for each other. That's why the world has become a beautiful place. One where Arceus, the Pokemon God is pleased." Renne smiled.

"Wooow. Do you think I'll get a Pokemon companion too?" Lapis asked

"Of course you can. If we can have Pokemon companions, I'm sure you can too." Penny nodded.

"I wonder who can get to be my partner." Lapis wondered as they see a rocky slope. "Whoa!"

"Welp, time to slide down!" Tartaglia said as he slide down with Urshifu.

Xiao, Aether, Sceptile, Florian, Koraidon, Renne, Arven, Nemona, Penny, Cloyster, Leafeon, Pawmot, Wario, Waluigi, Claire, Glaceon, Lechter recalled Camperupt, Rufus, Gallade, Hazama, Shadow, Rogue, Omega, Kammy, Mitsuru, Aigis, Labrys, Noel recalling Gyarados and slid down, Kevin, Ries, Kieran, Carmine, Duvalie, Sirfetch'd, Albedo, Raven, Emerald, Jingliu, Hakumen, Swin, Cerledge, Politoed, Arios,

"Ursaring, can you help me slide down?" Nadia asked, giving a baby eye

"Raar." Ursaring sweatdrop and then pick up Nadia in her arms and they both slid as Altaria, Sinstcha, Rouge, Kammy, Staraptor, Froslass, and Salamance flew down.

"Hey!" Lapis yelled. "What about me?"

"Mag ga ga?" Magearna pointed at herself.

"Oh, and Magenarma too?"

"C'mon Lapis. A little dirt never hurt anyone." Swin said.

"But my dress will get dirty! A Rosenberg doll must NEVER get dirty." Lapis pouted. "Especially Magearna! She's been underground for so long, she must be tired after all that!"

"Well, she isn't wrong." Magearna replied but only Florian understood her.

Unknown to her, a Wild Hounchkrow was fleeing around and spotted Lapis and Magearna

"Honchkrow." It smirked and flew down. "Hounchkrow!"

"Huh?" Lapis turn her back and see Hounchkrow going for a Wing Attack. "Wah!"

"Oh boy." Jingliu said as Magearna used Fleur Cannon.

"Hooooounch!" Hunchkrow panicked and exploded and fell down with swirling eyes.

"Wow! That was amazing Magearna!" Lapis cheered.

"Hehe. Thank you." Magearna replied happily until their conversation ended shortly with a flock of Hounchkrow was spotted. "Oh, dear."

"A flock of them!? Ruuuun!" Lapis yelled as she grabbed Magearna's hand and jump down the slid. "Whoooooa!" and then they begin rolling into a ball and slide down. "Oh my! My dress!"

The flock of Honchkrow flew town.

"Froslass, Blizzard." Jingliu command.

"Froslaaaaaass." Froslass opens its mouth and releases a powerful blizzard from it

"Krooooooow!" The Flock of Hounchkrow slowly begin to froze and then fell to the ground one by one.

"Well that's one way to make a popsicle of bird Pokemon." Albedo said.

"Grrrr!" Lapis got up and glaring at the Frozen Houndkrow. "You big birds are gonna pay for dirty my dress!"

"Now, now, Lapis." Jingliu approached. "All you need right now is a little cleaning for you and Magearna.

"I got it!" Florian pull out his Shower Head and a pump.

"Florian, I'm not a dog!"

"Your words, not mine."

"Is this really the time for this farce?" Hakumen asked

"Now, now. There's no need to rush. It will only be a minute." Jingliu giggled.

"Swin, can your Cerledge help me out?" Florian asked

"Huh?" Swin tilt his head.

---

One cleaning later...

"There you go." Jingliu brushing Lapis hair as Cerledge dried her dress with his blade arms and then put Lapis her dress. "How do you feel?"

"Wow! I feel so good! You're almost better than Nadia Jingliu!" Lapis cheered.

"Well on the bright side, I don't have to do anything but relax in my dear Ursaring's arms." Nadia said as she said that literally.

"Raar." Ursaring laughed.

"Well I suppose that is one way of using my Cerledge to warm someone's clothes." Swin sighed.

Emblem Arianrhod chuckled. "This brings back memories when I dressed up Noel as I brush his hair back when he was so young."

Noel blushed. "Mother, please don't bring those up. It's embarrassing to let everyone hear it."

"Oh? But I find it very cute." Renen grinned.

"It's too embarrassing for a guy like me!"

"Oh, now I'm interested in listening to those tales about one of our strongest Enforcer." Tartaglia said. "You know, I still can't get over the fact that a kid like you can match up to adult, Noel. What's your secret?"

"There is no secret. I've just been doing rigious training every day and helping my body becoming more adapt and flexible in battle." Noel replied

"I suppose so. So, Lord Arianrhod, after this is over, can I ask for another sparing match?"

Emblem Arianrhod chuckled. "But of course. It has been awhile since I assist in your training, young Tartaglia. You were always an abundant of energy for battle."

"It was quite a headache if you ask me how many time you keep interupting my training." Noel muttered.

---

Flashback...

"Oh, Lord Arianrhooood~" Tartaglia appeared out of nowhere as Noel was training with Emblem Arianrhod readied her lance.

"Oh come on! Tartaglia, can't you see my Mother is busy with my training?!" Noel yelling.

"Oh, come on. You have all day to train with your training regiment. Let someone else have some time with the Steel Maiden. Don't be so greedy like my little brother."

"Heyoooooo!" Shirley pop up behind Tartaglia.

"I see you have a playdate as well, Noel." Emblem Arianrhod said.

"No, I don't Mother. Shirley what brings you here?" Noel asked

"It's your turn to watch over Cedric. Bye." She takes off.

"Wait, it's today!?" Noel pull out his Gamma 2.0.

"And what do you know, another reason." Tartaglia laughed. "All right, Let's battle Lord Arianrhod."

"Heh. Very well." Emblem Arianrhod readied her stand as Noel sighed.

---

End of flashback...

"But that was one less annoying to Mother return as an Emblem." Noel replied. "Although I should expect that Mother's return would draw everyone's attention."

---

Another Flashback...

"Hey, Noel!" Tartaglia came into his room. "Is the rumor true?" He turn and see Emblem Arianrhod. "Oh Goddess Aidios! Lord Arianrhod! It's really you!"

"Hello, Paragon. I see you're in good health." Emblem Arianrhod smiled.

"Hahaha! Oh man! This is absolutely amazing! Lord Arianrhod. You came back to us!"

"Correction. I am not her, but an Emblem Version of her."

"An Emblem Version of her? I'm lost."

"Heeeeey!" Shirley pop out behind the door. "It's Me Noey. I heard the news that our Steel Maiden is back!"

"Hello Ogre." Emblem Arianrhod said

"Oh, shit! Lord Arianrhod, is actually back!"

"Correction, I'm—"

"Pardon me." Lucrezia came into the room. "I heard the news that our beloved Seventh Anguis has returned."

"Hey, Rezy." Noel waved.

"Noey, I heard the news of your visit of that world called Elyos. I thought our new Enforcer is with you to express—Oh!"

"Hello, Golden Butterfly." Emblem Arianrhod greeted

"Ah, Lord Arianrhod. So you have return. Oh that makes me happy."

"Hey, move out of the way." Alban shout out as he and Natsume enter Noel's room. "All right, where's Noel?"

"I'm right here, Alban." Noel sweatdrop.

"There you are! I heard your time with Elyos and you didn't bother to involve me to kill that dragon?"

"Technially—"

"Never mind that, Alban."Nasume siad

"Oh come on!" Noel grumbled

"Look who's also here aside from our fellow Colleagues." He look at Emblem Arianrhod.

"Get out of here..." Alban quietly gasped.

"All right, move you bitches." Walter shove Lucrezia and Shirley out of the way. "Where's the Steel Maiden?" He asked until see Emblem Arianrhod. "Well I'll be damn..."

"Heeeeey~ Make way everyone!" A girl's voice called out as make her way to Shirley. "I heard the latest news! Where is the scoop! Where's our—" She turn and see Emblem Arianrhod. "*gaaaaasp* Lord Arianrhod! Our Seventh Anguis! Hahaha! Wow! The rumors are true! I'm so happy to see you again! Out of all the Anguis in the society, you're one of the top favoites!"

'Is EVERYONE barging into my room?' Noel thought

"Oh my, this is quite the gathering." A man with a hat said as he see Emblem Aroanrhod. "Oh my. Lord Arianrhod." He pick up his hat and place it over hic chest. "So you have return from the death. It's only been a few months since yoru furneral."

"All right, everyone move it!" Mcburn came in. "Where's Steel?"

Emblem Arianrhod sweatdrop. "Is everyone here wish to speak to me?"

"Well I'll be a son of a bitch. Look who's back. Wait, hold on... What's with the—"

"Why is everyone here?!" A voice yelled as they turn to see Novartis.

"Oh hey Professor. What brings you here?" Shirley asked

"I heard rumord that the Steel Maiden has return. But why are you all gather at my pupil's room? Wait... is it his birthday today?"

"No you dumbass." Walter answered

"Heh... His birthday already pass Professor." A man holding his Cigar said.

"Oathbreaker?! What are you doing here?!" Novartis asked

"Same reason as you. Heard that I visit a dead colleague."

"WILL YOU ALL QUIET DOWN!" Noel yelled, causing their attention. "*sigh* Listen. I'm just as happy as the rest of you. But this isn't exactly Mother... but her Emblem Version. I'll explain. Emblems are—"

---

One explanation later...

"Okay... I think I got the idea..." Alban said. "But, if she's an Emblem, does that mean she isn't our Seventh Anguis right?"

"Correct. I've "passed" therefore I am no longer the Seventh Anguis. But regardless. I am the Emblem Version of your formal Sevnenth Anguis. But be that as it me. I am still "her". It warms my spirit to see so many of you—with questionable for the Oathbreaker and the Professor— came to see me. I will be by Noel side since he wears my ring. But I am freely to walk among you regardless. Treat me like no other."

"So nothing change, except you're no longer the Seventh. Got it." Mcburn said. "Wait. I heard Loewe was among the Emblem. Where is he?"

---

End of Flashback...

"That was so chaotic..." Noel sighed. "But the bright side is that the Grandmaster and Campanella pay me a visit~"

---

Another... Flashback...

Noel sighed. "My, that was so many greeting..."

Emblem Airnarhod nervous smile. "Well, it is to be expected Noel. I'm just glad I can clear the misunderstanding."

"I guess so." Noel smiled. "But Loewe is with, Renne right? Lucky her..."

"Knock knock."

"Campanella?" Noel asked as Campanella teleported himself in.

"Hey, Noel! Congratulations on your report and the situation in Elyos. It was quite the event."

"Thanks Campanella! Are you here for Mother, too?"

Campanella turn and see Emblem Arianrhod. "Oh! Lord Arianrhod! Wow! I never would have imagine that you would return to us as a spirit!"

Emblem Arianrhod sighed. "You're not exactly far off, Campanella. But I am Emblem Arianrhod. I may not be the original, but I am "her" all the same. Although I am not the Seventh Anguis. Not anymore since I've passed."

"I see. Still, it's so great that to see you! I bet the Grandmaster would be so thrilled to see you."

"And thrilled I am." A voice said, causing them to have an ?! over their heads as an orb appeared next to Campanella.

"Grandmaster!" Noel gasped as he knee down as Emblem Arianrhod greeted with a bow.

"Hello Noel. I've heard and read your report. You have done well explaining the situation with Elyos. I was quite intrigued. And... I am even more surprised to see you, Lianne Sandlot. But you're not her, but her Emblem version. But regardless. I welcome you to this world all the same. It's good to see you again."

"As are you, Grandmaster."

---

End of Flashback...

"Those were my best memories~" Noel cooed.

"All right, and your done!" Florian said as Magearna was sparkling.

"Oh, thank you! I look so dazzling." Magearna clapped her hands.

"Hehe. I've taken care a lot of Pokemon so I'm a professional. Even though there were some hells." Florian droop.

Renne giggled. "Ah, yes. Like your Quagsire sneeze on you with poison. That was actually funny."

"Don't bring that up!"

"I've check the surrounding areas and lucky, were isn't any posing threats. we should leave now." Xiao said.

"Sounds good. All right, let's head out." Raven said.

"Let me put my camping equipment away first!" Florian exclaimed and he put his equipment away and then they take off.

"Hey, isn't that another research lab?" Aether looking at the Research Station 2.

"It is. We could rest there if we wanted too." Penny said.

"I doubt it since we already got the rest we need." Wario said as they go down the slope again an then head to the waterfall and then across it and found the third research lab.

"So how many labs are there in Area Zero?" Raven asked.

"About four. The Zero Lab is located at below." Nemona answered.

"Then we're almost there." Shadow said.

"Sheesh, This place is bigger than I thought." Waluigi said.

"Seriously. I'm so exhausted..." Nadia groaned.

"After a few walks?" Noel asked

"She's always exaggerating. Don't mind her." Swin said

"Okay, go into that cave over there." Kieran said as they go into the cave and walk in until they see Tera Ctystals.

"Wow! So much crystals! And Big mama size too!" Wario eye sparkling.

"Now we're seeing the underground version of it. I imagine these are the pure crystals?" Tartaglia asked

"Yeah. I look into it when I came down here... but..." Noel paused.

"There are even more crystals than before..." Nemona said

"Yeah, there shouldn't be too much like this before." Carmine said.

"We're almost to the lab. Let's keep going." Florian said as they keep going down for a long walk and then go down and see the gigantic Tera Crystals.

"Mama Mia! That's the largest Tera Crystals I've seen!" Wario exclaimed.

"I bet it worth Millions of Mira!" Nadia eye sparkling.

"I've sense temporal power within those crystals..." Hakumen hummed. "It is as you said, Florian. Terapago does have temporal powers compare to Dialga."

"Yeah. This is where Terapago was sleeping... but now that he's here again..." Florian muttered

"We can't let whoever took Terapago and Nebby get away with it." Selene said.

"Are we almost at the lab?" Guzma asked.

"Almost there." Florian said as Gladion spotted the mysterious plate.

"Hey, what's this?" Gladion asked

"It looks like a plate with a mysterious symbol of an hourglass?" Lusamine asked.

"We don't know what that is either. But it's connected to the research My Dad and my Aunt were doing." Arven said.

"We're almost here." Renne said and they take another walk until reach the Zero Lab. "Here we are."

"So this is the Zero Lab." Rufus rub his chin. "Judging from the door, it's lock. Neve, if you would?"

"Already planning on it." Neve summon his Keyblade, aim and fired a beam of light at the door and then it opened.

(BGM ended)

Only for an Alerm to be heard, causing everyone to have an ! over their heads as Horde of Paradox Pokemon came out.

(Kingdom Hearts II ost - Rowdy Rumble)

"Oh, my." Hazama look around as everyone is surrounded by many Great Tusk, Scream Tails, Brute Bonnets, Flutter Manes, Slither Wings, Sandy Shocks, Roaring Moons, Walking Wakes, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolts, Iron Treads, Iron Bundles, Iron Hands, Iron Jugliuses, Iron Moths, Iron Thorns, Iron Valiants, Iron Leaves, Iron Boulders, and Iron Crowns surrounded the group.

"It's a stamped of Paradox Pokemon!" Florian exclaimed as they all got on their battle stand.

"I should have known something like this would happen." Neve muttered.

"W-What do we do? There are so many of them!" Lapis panicked.

"Tch, this is gonna be tough considering how tough they all are." Swin muttered.

"Hmm... No. Master Neve." Hakumen turn to him.

"Hm?" Neve turn to him.

"Can you freexe them all in one place?"

"Ice or Time?"

"Time."

"I can."

"Then do it." Hakumen said

"Stopza!" Neve raised his Keyblade and a white flash activated, created a field of time to freeze all the Paradox Pokemon in one place.

"Whoa!" Kieran exclaimed.

"They're... frozen?" Carmine gasped.

"So... this is the power of the Keyblade... no." Jingliu turn to Neve. "Neve's magic."

" Empty Sky True Form—" Hakumen imbued his Odachi with a white energy. "—Judgment of the Sword!" He unleash a flurry of slashes onto all of the Paradox Pokemon and then Shealth his Odaci as the slashes converted into damage.

Neve snappe his finger to cancel Stopza as the damage inflicted on the Paradox Pokemon activates, causing them roars of agony as they all fell down.

(BGM ended)

Everyone put their weapons away.

"Well, the bright side to this is we won't fight them all." Mitsuru said.

"But damn, I can't tell what's impressive." Labrys said. "Neve's magic to freeze time or Hakumen's attack?"

"Why not both?" Aigis suggested

"Well, at least that is behind us." Fuuka said. "Still, I feel bad for these poor Pokemon."

"Hmm..." Florian looking at them. "You know... I think these are all wild Paradox Pokemon now. It's possible we can capture them."

"Really?" Rufus look at the Paradox Pokemon intrigued by the idea.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Swin asked

"Well, they're still Pokemon. You just gotta... train them." Nemona said.

"Sounds reasonable to me." Guzma said.

"In that case, let us have some Paradox Pokemon of our own!" Leon laughed, pulling out a Pokeball. "Hmm... which one to choose?"

"Well, if you insist. But just do you know, I don't have Pokeballs." Neve pointed out until Florian him toss him a Pokeball as he catch it. "What is this."

"A Pokeball." Florian answered.

"I thought you were already aware of what a Pokeball looks like." Nadia teased.

"I do." Neve said irritatedly before sighing. "Very well." He look and then see the Iron Bundle and toss the Pokeball to it as it go into the Pokeball, rolled three times until click.

Neve approached and pick up the Pokeball while Claire had the same idea for Iron Bundle.

"Hmm?" Lechter rub his chin as he got his eyes on Roaring Moon. 'Roaring Moon is both powerful and fast. Maybe a nice transformation too~'

Lechter toss the Pokeball on Roaring Moon while Jingliu toss the Pokeball on Iron Bundle. Swin throw his Pokeball and one hit on Iron Leaves and then the other was Iron Juglis. Nadia throw one Pokeball on Scream Tail.

'Hmm...' Rufus staring at Gourging Fire and Iron Valiant. 'This one resembles Entei, the Legendary Pokemon from Johto while the other seems to be a mixture version of Gardevoir and Gallade. Perhaps I should have both under my care.' Rufus toss his Pokeballs on the two latter.

Noel toss his Pokeball for Walking Wake.

'Got myself a Suicune~ Sort off. I wonder if it posses the same ability as that Pokemon?' Noel wondered in his thought.

"Aww, I was kinda hoping to catch that Koraidon one." Tartaglia sighed. "Well we'll find one for you to shut up." Emblem Loewe said sarcasticlly.

"Oh, really? Thanks!"

"I was being sarcastic."

"Ignore him Loewe. He's always a battle-hungry moron like Walter." Noel sighed.

"Hey, I have feelings you know!" Tartaglia argued. "Besides, I'm nothing like that punching crazy idiot."

"Tartaglia, you're the last person to call someone a punching crazy idiot." Noel deadpanned. "And here I thought I was gonna say that to Walter or Natsu."

"Hmm... I think I'll take..." Florian looking at the three Pokemon. "All of them!"

"Hmm..." Nemona humming and see Scream Tail. "I got it!"

"Hmm..." Arven humming, looking at which Paradox Pokemon. "This is gonna be hard..."

"Hey, Lapis." Florian approached and handed her some Pokeballs.

"Pokeballs? You're giving it to me?"

"Why not. You're free to choose which one of them can be your Pokemon Partner. So remember to take good care of them as you raise them too." Florian winked a she take off.

"Huh..." Lapis looking at the balls. "Hmm... it's not too cute but I do like how simple it is." She look at Magearna. "Hey, Magearna. Would you like to be my partner?"

"Me?" Magearna pointed at herself.

"Well, we're both artificals so we have that in common. What's more, I like you! You're both elegant, and graceful. I think the two of us will be great friends. What do you say?"

"Hmm... I've never been with anyone for so long... Okay, sure!" She approached and tap the Pokeball as she go into it, causing it to rolled three times and click. "Wow! Nadia, Neve! Rufus! Swin! I got Magearna as my first partner!"

"Nice one LP!" Nadia cheered.

"We're going to be here for awhile, aren't we?" Shadow asked.

"AFFERNATIVE." Omega said

"All, let them have time to think." Kammy giggled.

---

One Paradox Pokemon capture later...

"Okay, and here is the Zero Lab. Or what's left of it, anyway." Nemona said as they entered the ruin facility... or what WAS it when they see the hole that was there is patched up. "Eh?"

"What happened to the wall?" Arven asked as he bang it.

"It's completely patched up." Penny said as she turn to the door. "Hang on." She press her hand on the door and it automantiicly opened. "Oh!"

They walk into the room and the Paldea Gang, Kieran, Carmine, Renne and Noel had an !? over their heads as the Room was completely cleared as once was a mess, now an organized area.

"I thought you said this was a mess." Hakumen said

"It was! But it is so clean!" Nemona exclaimed.

"So our wise guy cleaned up the place?" Carmine asked. "Well at least they're kind enough so we won't hit our heads."

"Like you did?" Kieran asked

"Kiki, shut it!"

"The lights are fixed." Emblem Arianrhod looking up. "But why clean this place?"

"I think I know why." Wario pointed as they all turn see the machines are activated.

"What the heck is this?" Waluigi looks inside the machines and where they see Terastal energy.

"That's Terastal Energy..." Florian said as they see many machines are activate with Terastall energy. "I've really got a bad feeling about this."

"Guys, I found the elevator." Wario said as they see the up and down button.

Arven gulped. "Guys. Let's go up."

"Okay." Wario pressed the elevator button to go up and they go inside as the elevator take them up.

"Arven..." Penny looking at him.

"You're thinking what we are... aren't you?" Renne asked

"What are you guys talking about?" Shadow asked

"The Time machine." Arven said, causing everyone to have an ! over their heads. "This will take us to the time machine my dad and aunt build with Terapago's energy. If we're right..."

"Then we now know where all the Paradox Pokemon are coming from. Including their time machine." Claire said as they reach the top floor and they leave.

They arrived at the room powered by Tera Crystals as they see a large Terminal computer with the Time Machine activate. Except this time, there is a large pipe connected to the ceiling.

"Damn it..." Arven grit his teeth.

"This is just like we thought..." Renne muttered.

"The Time Machine is rebuilt." Florian muttered.

"So this is the Time machine that the Paradox Pokemon were brought to this timeline?" Mitsuru asked.

"The very same. It was shut down and destroyed to prevent the same thing from happening again. But now it's rebuild which allows the EDF to have them." Renne said.

"We need to shut this thing off. If we can do that, there won't be any Paradox Pokemon who will obey them anymore." Penny stated

"Right. Let's shut this thing down." Fuuka agreed as they hurry to the terminal as Renne begin to type in with Penny using her technomancy and Fuuka her ARCUS Alpha to connect to with Tecnomancy to shut it down, but the screen picture a Troll Emoji with a "Ha ha!" Below it.

"Well, someone trying to be funny." Renne said, twitching her eye.

"What's wrong?" Aigis asked

"It seems the person who rebuild it has a heavily encryption installed. Far more than anything we've seen thus far. It may be the same thing that Alisa and the others back at Reinford Factory. Even with our combined efforts, we can't shut it down."

"Then our only option is to destroy it." Hakumen draw his Odachi.

"W-Wait!" Fuuka exclaimed as Hakumen swing his Odachi to the Terminal, only to be bounced off.

"Hmm!? What is this?"

"What the..." Emerald blinked. "We all just saw that right?"

"We did." Ries said.

"Oi, what's the heck is going on?" Kevin asked.

"It appears that the terminal is being protected by a force field." Jingliu remark. "Whoever rebuilt it figured something like this would happen."

"Nngh." Hakumen sheath his Odachi. "How vexing. How do we shut this machine down?"

"We can't... at least. Not "here"." Fuuka said. "From what we were able to gather, this terminal isn't the main one. But a terminal that shows us data about the Paradox Pokemon and where they're being sent through teleportation."

"So where are the Paradox Pokemon been teleported?" Kevin asked

"In Crossbell."

"Figured."

"The location is heavily Encrypted. But it's possible we may learn more if we head to the main terminal down below." Fuuka told them.

"Then that's where we're heading." Ries replied.

"Then let us be off to the depths of this place." Neve said as they headed back to the elevator and pressed the Down Button.

The Elevator door open for them and then they headed down to the Depths level for a few minutes until arrived.

(Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk ost - Area Zero Depths)

"Whooooooa!" Lapis gasped.

"Look at all these Tera Crystals!" Nadia exclaimed. "There are so many!"

"Wahaha! We hit the motherlode! We'll be rich!" Wario rubbing his hands.

"This is the Depths of Area Zero. Here are the puriest of Tera Crystals. However, be careful we go down." Florian said as they go walk the stone bridge.

"So this is where Terapago is found?" Penny asked. "I can't believe it..."

"Yeah! This place is so packed!" Nemona said.

"I can't believe you guys were here." Arven sighed

"Yeah, imagine our surprise when we encounter the rare form of Tera Crystals." Carmine said

"Yeah, that your teacher and the professor were stupid and obsessed." Noel replied.

"Hey, leave Instructor Briar alone! Even though it's true..."

"But wow... You don't see a cave like this..." Kevin said. "A pokemon create crystals with temperial energy..." 'If words about these crystals fall into the wrong hands...'

"If we take walking this path and walk carefully, you don't have to worry about slipping." Florian said as they carefully walk down.

"Man, this place is even more unbelievable as we go." Swin said

"Indeed. Pokemon are a wonder." Rufus said as they making their way around the depths, seeing more crystals and then arriving at the lower part of the cave.

They soon arrived at the cave entrance to Terapago's chamber.

"Paaaaaaaaa!" Terapago cried as everyone had an ?! over their heads.

"That cry... That's Terapago!" Florian yelled

"Come on!" Renne stated as they all rush into the cave.

The group arrived at the Depths of Area Zero Underdepths where Rufus and the others, minute Carmine, Kieran, Florian and Renne had an !? over their heads when they see the large amount of raw Tera Crystals all over the place.

"Whoooooooa!" Nadia gasping as she and the others look around. "Look at the motherlode of this place! It's absolutely beautiful! And I thought I've seen it all since coming here!"

"This is more beautiful than I imagined!" Lapis agreed.

"So this is where Terapago was found and slumbered?" Swin asked

"Yeah." Kieran nodded. "At the time, I was so obsessed with beating Florian that I wanted to make the Legendary Pokemon mine so I can beat him. But even with the legendary Pokemon under my command, it wasn't enough to beat him. I ended up Terastallizing it and it went out of control. Putting me and everyone in danger. I'll admit Ms. Briar is also to blame but..."

"That's all in the past now, Kieran." Florian smiled.

"Still. I never thought we get to see this part of the underground." Penny said.

"Oh, si. I can't believe I didn't get the chance to come with you guys. But this was during your time in Blueberry Academy..." Nemona sighed.

"But that's not the only thing that's here. Look." Arven pointed as they turn and see the large Machine that is similar to the machine in the Castle of Mirrors. Except the machine has four large sphere connected to the machine.

"Hey, isn't that the machine that look just like the one in the Castle of Mirror?" Emerald asked. "The one where Rean and the others found?"

"The same one. Except those four spheres are connected to it." Raven said. "But it seems to also connected to the crystals and the ground itself."

"Could this machine be the one causing what's happening on the surface?" Carmine asked. "Then we need to shut it off."

"Right. Let's go shut it off." Fuuka nodded as she and Florian make their way to the machine.

Raven, Jingliu and Hakumen had an ! over their heads. however, sense something.

"Wait!" Raven yelled as she, Hakumen and Jingliu dash toward Florian and Fuuka as a large ride slash projection coming at them at high speed, deflecting it.

"Aaah!" Fuuka screamed.

"What was that?!" Florian asked, getting his dagger out.

(BGM ended)

"Tch. Almost got you." A voice muttered behind the crystals.

(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Constraint)

Adam Taurus came out of the crystals, revealing himself with his Wilt in hand.

"Adam Taurus..." Noel glared.

"So this is the infamous Faunus I heard so much about." Nadia fold her arms.

"The same Faunus who became one of humanity's enemy." Rufus shooking his head, sounding irritated

"And the Faunus filled with massive hatred for humans." A voice said as a corridor of darkness appeared and came out was one of the Organization members.

"I know that voice..." Neve giving a low growl as the figure lower his hood, revealing to be Vanitas with his mask on. "Vanitas."

"Ah, if it isn't that Keyblade Master who was barge into the Keyblade War. Neve, was it?" Vanitas asked. "You certainly were a pain in the ass interfering with our work."

"Hmph. I was more interested in facing you in battle as a Keyblade wielder Vanitas. How can I let that oppunity slide?"

"By dying." A voice said as Xemnas along with Dark Riku. "Your presence as an outsider is unnecessary."

"Xemnas and Dark Riku? Really?"

"So... we meet again." Emblem Arianrhod muttered.

"This is the first time I met the other members of Ouroboros but I can tell they're formidable..." Emblem Loewe giving the dirty look.

"Wait, Dark Riku?" Lapis asked. "He isn't Riku?"

"I thought he was Riku's twin brother." Swin said

"No. Dark Riku is beyond your common sense. But this version of him when he was possessed by one of the Organization XIII member. Xehanort's Heartness name Ansem. Unlike the regular Heartless, Xehanort's—"

"Blah, blah, blah. How about you shut up and we can get on with this monologue." Dark Riku interrupted.

"Oh, now you pissed me off." Neve glared as the others sweatdrop.

"All right you assholes, where is Terapago?!" Florian yelled. "I heard his cry so don't try to hide it!"

"Oh, your Pokemon is right here." Vantias snapped his finger as the spheres undo its cover, revealing Terapago inside, all exhausted as it panted.

"Terapago!"

"What did you guys do to him?!" Elios asked

"I see now..." Renne glared. "That machine you place in his is sapping and controlling the Tera Crystals in the surface, aren't you?"

Everyone had an ?! over their heads.

"Ah, the Angel of Slaughter guess correctly." Dark Riku said, clapping his hands slowly. "I'm actually impressed that you managed to found about this place, though. This cavern is filled with that Pokemon's crystals. Those crystals are abundant with temporal powers, even capable of altering a Pokemon genetic types. We actually done some testing in empowering the Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed with its energy."

"And what do you know. Guess that Pokemon has a lot of uses, other than sprouting those crystals." Vanitas smirked. "Summoning those Paradox Pokemon to add more power to the co-supreme leaders is an added bonus."

"I've heard about you guys from different sources, and many of them claim truth to your evil." Leon said. "But tell me, why did you attack Paldea? Why did you attack every Pokemon region with Terapago's power?"

"And are you guys the one who took Nebby and Florian's Terapago from him?!" Lillie growled

"Nebby?" Adam raising an eyebrow. "What kind of stupid name is that to call a Pokemon."

"Excuse me?! Nebby is the nickname I name for him! His true name was Lunala!"

"Ah, yes. The Moone Pokemon." Xemnas snapped his finger, revealing the other spheres to uncover their hatches, revealing Nebby as Lunala, a Jirachi and Manaphy within each spheres, causing the heroes to have an ?! over their heads.

"Wha—" Gladion gasped.

"Nebby!" Lillie yelled.

"Luaaaaaaaaa/Manaaaaaaa/Raaaaaaaaaugh!" Neeby, Manaphy and Jirachi screamed in agony as electrical pulse was all around them and a glowing plate was underneath them with the tube cloaking

"A Manaphy and a Jirachi?!" Gladian gasped in horror.

"Hey, what do ya bastards think you're doing to them!?" Guzma glaring.

"Just suppling us with their energy." Adam smirked

"Their energy?" Lusamine asked, grit her teeth a bit.

Mitsuru gasped. "You don't mean...! The barrier in Crossbell is their energy?!"

The heroes had an ?! over their heads.

"You're draining all those three Pokemon... while using Terapago to cause chaos?!" Elio grit his teeth.

"Pokemon are meant to be use. Is that how you all use your Pokemon?" Xemnas asked. "After all, they are used for your daily lives, and for your entrainment. What difference does it make for these livestock? The power within these Legendary and Mythical Pokemon possess extraordinary power compare to their brethren. Otherworldly power. Time. Space. Order. Life. Death. Powers to manipulate the laws of the world. Rising lands beneath the water, drowning land to the sea. What could be more perfect for these creatures if not make use of them?" He dark smirked

"You..." Lillie clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. "You guys are monsters! Pokemon are not some tools to be used! How could you do something so inhumane to them?! They're living beings, just like us! How could such people with horrible minds?! Draining their energy? Can't you see the pain your doing to them!? You're going to kill them! And to make it worse, you're using innocent Pokemon and abusing them of their power! To cause madness, harm and fear!"

"That's exactly why this Pokemon deserve to be use for its powers you damn annoying naive brat!" Adam yelled with a dark grin on his face.

"The fuck you call my sister?!" Gladion grit his teeth as he glared.

"Exactly as I said. Pokemon are nothing more than pets, tools to be used. What could be even better to use this pathetic little creature to witness humanity coming it its ends? The Pokemon Regions is infested with you humans. I could I not resist to see every one of them burn to ashes, trapped and die within those crystals? Once we're done with Paldea and the Pokemon regions, soon... this entire world will be either enslaved or purge humanity! Leaving only the Pokemon and us Faunus to co-exist! I don't care about the life for these Pokemon! So long as they are being put to use, then I will be satisfied."

"You..." Florian gritted hie teeth, shakened with rage as his eyes. "Son of a..."

"What is wrong with this one?" Lapis asked with concern.

"I knew you were mad... but clearly I underestimated how diabolical you are, Adam." Rufus muttered. "I've heard from Noel how my replica ordered you to "punish" Armorica Village by massacring them. And now Lloyd told me from what Dimentio told him that you were only ordered to set the village ablaze and capture every resident into custody. Not massacring them. Does that sick twisted mind of yours find enjoyment in bringing suffering to others?"

Adam scoffed. "Suffering of others? Every aspect of humans is inferior. Humans are the weakest creatures while we Faunus hold more talents than any other of your damn kind. Besides, they brought it upon themselves when they hid a member of those SSS pests. It's only natural they be punished with their lives. But those idiots of Co-supreme wanted to do that brainwashing crap. What's the point of keeping them alive? They're gonna die anywhere. As they should as a plague to this world."

"As a "plague"?" Swin growled. "What is wrong with you?! What did those people even do to deserve it? Even the co-supreme leaders were mad with you for what you did, did they?"

"Forget talking to him." Noel said, holding in his anger. "This beast is nothing more than a monster now. All he seeks is to enslave humanity because Faunus is better in the ideal world he wants to build. All because of how Faunus were discriminated in Remnant. And even though Faunus have finally gotten their wish for equal rights, Adam seens to destroy it to build his ideal world."

"Are you serious?"

"Right. The attack on Beacon Academy three years ago was not only part of a dark plot hatch by Cinder, but also proved how much he wants to destroy humanity and break how much Faunus has worked so hard to earn that right." Renne folds her arms, giving Adam a dirty look. "Now he wants to obtain power, no matter the cost to realize his ordeal since he thinks his kind has now been "corrupted". That he will guide Faunus to the "right" path."

"They ARE corrupted. All of them!" Adam growled. "Humanity has been treated us Faunus like dirt like we're beneath them! I want revenge on all of humanity! Especially those who turn on me! The White Fang who I thought was my family, and now Blake... Ooh Blake." He clench his fist. "Especially her! I was the one who help guided her, and this is how she repays me!? And to make it worse, she's going out with that blond bimbo?! HOW DARE SHE!"

"She saw how much of a monster you are." Renne told him. "She wanted Faunus to be treated equally. But you have no value in human life. And now you would do the same to anyone who turns against you. Be it Faunus or humans. Or any living soul. Your twisted mind about being shackled to the past forced her to abandon you. She had no choice. And..." She glared. "I've heard you had your run-in with her too."

---

Flashback...

"Wait, what happened?" Renne asked, looking surprised.

"Adam came out of nowhere when we were traveling around Liberl. We were minding our own business until we heard a commotion. There were bodies of Bracers... dead." Blake rubbing her arms, gritting her teeth, looking gloom. "Me... Yang... Ruby and Weiss help investigated until we were ambushed by Adam who use his new powers to summon Heartless to keep them occupied. Adam was dead set on killing me for betraying him. We duke it out for awhile until Estelle and Joshua came to the rescue. But... Adam was... empower by the darkness in his heart that he overwhelm them. Almost kill them if I hadn't intervened. They're injured because of me... And now Adam has been obsessed with taking me down in hell, leaving me paranoid for awhile..."

"And then... he even talks about my "just desserts" as a final memoir of his "love" and care for me for old time takes... but all I felt was dread behind those words..."

---

End of Flashback...

"You really pissed me off for what you did to Estelle and Joshua that day. But none of that holds the weight of how much I want to cut you down for the trauma you caused her." Renne glared.

"And I personally want to kill you for what you did to Joshua. I'll pay you back twice what you did to him." Emblem Loewe glared.

"Blake and that Bracer got everything they deserved." Adam responded. "Things would have turned differently for her if Blake had me—"

"WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU MENACING BULL?!" Noel yelled, causing everyone's attention with an !? over their heads. "I am sick and tired of listening in to your devious rambling. I've done my research on you, and I even talked to Blake about you. You claim that you are thinking what's best for Faunus. But no... This is about you. Just because of what you went through when you were working at Schnee Dust Company." He looks at Adam with a glare.

Noel place his hand over his chest as he look down. "I understand that very same feeling of being treated inhumanely. But unlike you, I chose to turn that rage into the people who deserve it! My parents sold me to that diabolical cult. The same cult plagued and killed so many innocent children, and even witnessed those in power who would threaten the weak and lower class of society."

Noel look at Adam with a glare. "Every last one of them doesn't deserve what they have from the sweat, tears, and blood the people have been working hard on while they live in luxury. That is why I used my sword and end their life, and take away everything they hold so dear. This is my version of justice. But you, Adam. You just target random people who have nothing to do with it. So many good and innocent people who fought for faunus, only for them to be killed by your misguided."

"And then let's talk about your "love" for Blake. You don't love her as you proclaim. You attack and abuse her. Blake realized what kind of monster you become. She tried to save you from becoming something horrific. But instead, you slapped her, mocking and claiming she betrayed you but instead, you betrayed yourself. You would go even so far as to torment and take everything she loves... including her friends and family." Noel shook his head, gritting his teeth.

"Everything from that aspect holds nothing but resentment and anger toward you. That is also why we are different Adam. Your "love" for Blake is an obsession to make her suffer. While I love Renne because of who she is." Noel said, causing Renne to have an ! over her head as she blushed. "Strong, and kind, even though she was misguided, she was able to let go of her past and move on to a bright future. While you keep shackling to your past and ruining the true purpose of the White Fang for equality."

(BGM ended)

(Trails into Reverie ost - Elegants Prowess)

Noel swipe his finger to summon a water pocket dimension and then pull out Aetherius and aim his white sword at Adam, glaring at him as he unleash his battle aura."For Blake's sake, for the White Fang finally gotten their equality... and the sake of all innocents. I will end you, your shadow, so that no one will suffer by your hands again!"

"Noel..." Renne whispered.

"Heh." Emblem Loewe smirked. "I couldn't agree more."

"Indeed." Emblem Arianrhod readied her lance. "Your evil will not go unpunished."

"Wooo~" Nadia clapping her hands as she grinned "You tell him Noel! And confessing your life for Renne in front of everyone? So bold!"

"Nadia, knock it off." Swin sighed but then took out his swords. "But he's right. These guys are far worse after the shit they've pulled along with the co-supreme leaders."

"Yeah." Nadia got out needles, her stuff bear out. "It's so sickening enough that I almost want to snuff the life out of them. But I'm guessing you guys are not even human. You're just like the Emperor. A replica version of the ones who perished, am I right?"

"And what of it?" Dark Riku asked.

"Then all we got to do is "kill" you. Just like before." Shadow took his stand. "And this time, you will stay dead."

"W-Wait, what's this about killing?" Leon asked.

"Leon. Sorry, but we can ask you guys to please stay back?" Florian got out his Dagger. "These guys don't use Pokemon, but fight with powers or weapons. And these guys will kill you. So please leave them to us."

"What you're about to witness is something that is outside of what you imagine. This will not be how Pokemon Battles go. Outside of the Pokemon regions. We fight with weapons on hand." Jingliu draw her sword. "And fight alongside our Pokemon in combat. I advise you to leave this cave."

"Oh, there's no need for that." Vantias snapped his fingers and large numbers of Unversed and Heartless appeared behind the group.

"Wah!" Lillie screamed.

"It's those things again!" Selene gritted her teeth.

"Leon, can we ask you and the others to deal with them?" Renne asked

"It's not like we had any other choice." Leon pull out his Pokeball. "I understand how you guys do things. I know not everything is how we do in our world or our way. But we'll watch your back as you'll watch ours. After all, we did that during the Great Twilight."

"Yes. We'll deal with them." Lusamine got her Pokeball out.

"Make them pay for what they did to Nebby! And please... save him for us!" Lillie requested

"Got it." Swin said.

"We'll get your sweet Pokemon out of there." Nadia replied.

"All right you... things." Guzma got his Pokeball out. "Come and get some!" He yelled as he, Elios, Selene, Lusamine, and Leon charge to the Heartless and Unversed with their Pokeballs out and call out their Pokemons: Charizard, Golisopod, Lopunny, Incineroar, Primarina, and Clefable.

"All right, let's do this!" Selene yelled

Rufus and the others had their weapons out.

"All right, Adam Taurus. This time, you will die here and now. And I'll make sure you stay dead." Noel said threateningly as he pull out his Pokeball and came out was Gyarados.

"I'll help you out too." Renne walk next to Noel with her Scythe out and pull out her Pokeball and toss her Pokeball and came out Venosaur.

"Venosaur." He took his stand.

"You guys will pay dearly. We'll make sure of it!" Florian declared as he got his Pokeball out and got Meowscarada out. "Meowscarada, everyone! Let's end this and get rid of these lunatics out of Paldea, and rescue our Pokemon!"

"Right!" They yelled

"Hah!" Dark Riku laughed as he removed his Organization Cape and wore his suit and summon Soul Eater. "Oh, we'll like to see you try!" He unleash a powerful dark aura as Xemnas summon Eternal Blades.

"I have orders that you all perish here. And I humbly agree." Xemnas took his battle stand.

"And this time... you will not walk out of here alive." Vanitas summon his Keyblade.

"Adam Taurus is vulnerable to Earth Arts, Ground Type, Electric and Ghost Types moves." Noel's AI Master Quarts informed.

"Think Fast!" Dark Riku throw Dark Mines toward the group as they explode on them as Xemnas teleported above them and throw a barricade of Etheral Lasers while Vansitas summon sink underground.

Neve form a large Reflecga to reflect back the attack as Vanitas pop up from the group and launch a frenzy of fireballs at the Team, but they all jump away as Adam lung toward Penny who he seem the weakest, only for her to shield within a barrier and then Emblem Celica throw a fireball at him.

"Kneel." Xemnas summoned nobody thorns toward Rufus as he cork and lung toward him and they clash their sword.

"It is you who should kneel, Xemnas." Rufus shout back as they swing at each other until Dark Riku teleported to kick him, and then throw Dark Firaga, but Mitsuru swipe to deflect it. "Thank you."

"No need." Mitsuru took a stand and lung toward Dark Riku to thrust him, but he block and parried her as Xemans swing for a combo strike, but Rufus block and they swing at each other until Gallade throw Psycho Cut against Dark Riku as Rufus and Mitsuru switch opponents and thrust them, pushing both members away.

"Take this!" Lapis cartwheel toward Adam who tilt his body and then slash her. "Augh!"

"A doll should stay a doll." Adam taught as Nadia throw needles at his face. "Augh!"

"Oopies, did I do that?" Nadia smirked as she pull out more and throw more.

Adam swing tod reflect and then used his Semblance to sent a fast slash projection.

"Whoa!" Nadia flip to her left as Adam long to slash her, but Ursaring got in front.

"But man, who would have guess the barrier in Crossbell were actually power coming from Legendary and Mythical Pokemon..." Swin muttered.

"Well it is one way of gaining supernatural energy. The enemy is quite clever." Hazama replied.

"Still, how dare they endanger Paldea and the other Pokemon Region." Renne grit her teeth. "I'll be sure they won't get away with this."

"Agreed. This chaos won't quell so long as the Co-supreme leaders is still activate along with Elysium's current administrator." Noel agreed.

"Our allies should have their machine located in the Mushroom Kingdom solve by now." Hakumen said. "We best return and discuss our next operation before the co-supreme leaders demand their answers."

"Then we wish you guys luck." Guzma said. "If you need our help, give us a call."

Everyone had an ?! over their heads.

"I thought that name rings a bell." Hakumen said

"Radiant Garden is Kairi's homeworld. If one of the machines is located in another world..."

"Then Kairi's homeworld might be in trouble just like this world..." Emblem Kirito muttered.

"This isn't good. We should let everyone know." Kammy stated.

"Indeed. Especially, Kairi, Sora and the others who've been through Radiant Garden." Duvalie said.
