Before Rean and the others can go in, Rean senses a presence as he turns and sees a wild Absol looking directly at him.
"Sol..." He whispered
'A Pokemon...?' Rean whispered. 'Where have I seen that Pokemon before?'
'Hey, Rean. I heard voices from inside.' Emblem Roy said as they listened inside.
(Trails into Reverie ost - Dark World)
"Tch! To think the Co-Supreme Leaders tactics went all down the drain!" One of the Mask Men, revealing to be EDF stomping his feet in rage. "They're prepared to take down the Mushroom Kingdom! But how could it possibly fail!"
"The town is supposed to be weak on defense. And yet their soldiers are well prepared. Could it be possible they somehow predicted we would attack?"
"I did scout the town and they did act like nothing was out of the ordinary. But there were some problems with a few guards guarding the entrances. But even so, we used the backup and managed to do some damage to the town."
"The town holds insufficient. Our target is to kill Princess Peach and conjure the Mushroom Kingdom. The Co-supreme leaders plan to use this land as its greatest resource as well as punishment for the late chancellor."
"But that wretched Princess is stronger than we realized. And that retainer of her is vexing with his magic."
"We need to find a way to rescue our comrades that were captured. The co-supreme leaders work hard to make sure the princess paid with her life."
"Easier said than done. Our scouts reported back that they lock up our brothers in arm in prison in Truffle Distract. They increase the security there. And to make it worse, that Black Knight is having soldiers patrolling."
"We need to contact the co-supreme leaders and come up with the situation to free our man. Then we can reduce this town to ash."
'Going to attack Toad Town again, huh?' Levi asked, gritting his teeth. 'I don't think I'm gonna hold back on those bastards. Especually the co-supreme leaders.'
'Agreed. We need to stop them and end this before any more damage is done by this vile scheme.' Chrom said.
'Indeed. Is everyone ready?' Diamant asked
'Yeah! Let's go be heroes!' Amber smirked as they all barge in.
(BGM ended)
"Hold it right there!" Rean yelled as the EDF flinched.
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Constraint)
"Wha—" One of the EDF exclaimed in surprised
"Damn it! We been found out!"
"How dare you EDF attack Toad Town and even use my ancestor's home for your base of operation." Peach step forward. "Your Co-supreme leaders truly is a diabolical man... Is what I would say if he's nothing more than a fake."
"A Fake?! You watch your damn mouth, princess!"
"It's you who should watch your mouth!" Daisy yelled as she palm fist. "No one gets away with attacking Toad Town, assassinating my BFF and plan to do it again with everyone here! Your fake leaders are gonna pay hell! With you soldiers as part of the catalyst!"
"Your Co-supreme leaders spread nothing but lies and falsehood. Someone who doesn't want to result in bloodshed after all the damage they have done. How hypocritical." Ayaka said with a disappointed look.
"Nothing more than a dictator. A dictator that we will strike down." Jade said.
"Your international crimes alone with your fake leaders will not go unpunished. We will stop you here and arrest you." Citirine said.
"You will never arrest us! Never!" An EDF yelled.
"No one insults our co-supreme leaders!"
"You may have larger numbers but we have something that will turn the titles!" One of the EDF snapped his finger as a large Heartless appeared behind them. It was an Arch Behemoth.
The Behemoth roared at the group.
"So you got a heartless with you?" Kairi reader her stand. "We can take this heartless down!"
"That won't be necessary." Ei pull out her Naginata. "I grow tired of hearing these pathetic fools beloving such arrogant, believing they can win. But like all arrogant, they will be struck down."
"You talk big thinking you can handle elite soldiers!" An EDF readied their sword.
"But you're nothing against us and or big guy here!"
"Wipe. It was nice knowing them." Miko painting her nails pink.
"Wait, why do you have nail—
(BGM ended)
"Arrogance." Ei's eyes glow a bit as she approached and then vanished.
(Fairy Tail ost - Against Magic)
"Will be your undoing." Ei move around the EDF as skilled warriors who can see speed invisible to the naked eye such as Daisy, Marnie, Victor, Rean, Rean, Kairi, Makoto Nanaya, Ayato, Ayaka, Chrom, Robin,... okay everyone in the group as the Emblems as the EDF slowly turn their heads Ei slash one and then slash the other one.
"Augh!" One winched as the other readied to swing his sword, only to be disarmed and slashed through.
Ei swirling her Naginara gracefully and then slash and swung against the EDF with speed, and grace, leaving trails of lightning on them, and then turned to Arch Behemoth who attempt to stop on her, but she move swiftly to her left and then warp around, dealing lightning base hack and slashes and then reappeared from above and impale its back, causing it to roar. It unleash a shockwave as Arch Behemoth turn to her as it open its mouth with energy courseing and fired a laser beam. Ei raised her Naginata and slash down for a slash projection to cut through the laser and slice through it, causing the Arch Behemoth to knock onto its feel.
The other EDF who got back on their feet charge toward Ei to swing their swords while the others aim and firing bullets at her. Eie spinning shield and then she move around gracefully, slashing through EDF soldiers as two tried to swing at her, but she disarm one while punch the jaws on the other, then impale her Naginata on the floor to perform a circular kick, kicking them both and then she pull her weapon and then spin rapidly for slash against the EDF, knocking them away.
Arch Behemoth fired a deadly laser beam but Ei move swiftly left and right and then slash through the Heartless with lightning struck from above, causing it to roar in agony and shocking the EDF with it, causing them to collapse.
(BGM ended)
As everyone stare in Bewilderment, Levi struggled as he sighed while Miko was still painting her nails.
"Well I did say goodbye to them." Miko said.
"Whoa, mama!" Makoto Nanya exclaimed in surprise.
"Such level of skill..." Ayaka said intrigued.
'Her movements almost akin to legends...' Ayato thought.
"Levi, can you remove the Heartless? Your power hold same properties as the Keyblade." Ei asked
"Huh? Oh!" Levi aim his hand and fired a beam of light and destroy the Heartless.
(Trails of Cold Steel ost - Castle of the Saint)
"Nngh... How can Elite Soldiers—"
"Yeah, yeah. Now shut up and go sleep in the dirt." Miko swing her arm and sent wave of magic and cause the EDF to fall asleep. "All right, now we can arrest them."
"I'll contact Kagura and sent him the coordinates." Eugeo pull out his ARCUS Alpha and begin dialing.
"Mna, you were really amazing, Miss Ei!" Kairi smiled.
"Rean. I can see some of Levi's form and technique is with you." Rean agreed.
"Well I am the one who taught him." Ei flips her hair.
"Well, the bright side is we arrested the EDF." Robin said. "But now we got another situation." Robin said as Rean pull out the Radar as it beam orange.
"Right, one of the generators is located in this old manor." Chrom nodded.
"I can't believe this old manor once home to the queens of old would be use for such a purpose." Citrinne muttered. "Oh, why dont' we rebuild this manor and make it a fine home?"
"That's not a bad idea." Peach said. "I should make a reminder." She pull out a sheet of paper and write down.
'Note to self, rebuild Rosemary Manor located in Mushroom Gorge.'
"All right, so where should we look for our generator in this old mansion?" Daisy asked. "Since it is ancient, I expected that Boos would be taken this place."
"Maybe, but I don't think any of them are here." Peach put the paper away. "Or if they're here. But what I do know is that this mansion is being used. Even from outside my knowledge of the Kingdom. Which is peculiar. I wonder why this mansion was never used for a while."
"Hmm... Good question. But I can't help you there." Emblem Mario struggled.
"But you know, Mario. I'm actually surprised and not surprised that you became an Emblem. Of course, I can imagine Luigi would feel... frustrated."
"Yeah..." Mario frown.
"I'm sure Luigi will be one too for the Emblem Family. But right now, we should explore this place. And figure out where the energy may be coming from this old place." Emblem Ragna said.
"He's right. The energy is coming from somewhere. So we should explore every aspect of this manor." Emblem Micaiah agreed.
"Then let's go and shut that barrier down." Naoto Kurogane said as everyone nodded after they cuffed the EDF, tied their legs and chain them for Mushroom Kingdom Soldiers to arrest them.
"You don't think that ghosts would... come out of hiding... would you?" Alcryst asked.
"No, I don't think so. Otherwise, our friends who are good at sensing presence would detect them." Marnie said.
"Yeah. Not to mention our Pokemon too." Victor agreed as they keep going.
"Speaking of Pokemon, I believe I caught a glimpse of a wild Pokemon before coming in here. It had white fur and with a feline body... and a horn too."
"That sounds like an Absol, the Disaster Pokemon." Marnie said. "It can sense omen like something bad was going to happen."
"I see..." Rean rub his chin. 'Absol was staring at me directly... is something bad is going to happen... yeah... most likely. Like what happened before...' He thought as he remembered the events in the Castle of Mirrors and in Nord Highland. ''I something else coming that would cause me to feel unease again?'
"Is something wrong, Rean?" Asuna asked
"Yeah. I was just thinking about the Absol. With its presence staring at me..."
"Something bad is going to happen, is that what you're saying?" Levi inquired
"Yeah..." Rean muttered. "After all that went down..."
"Damn. Noeliers told me what happened in Nord and in the Castle in Mishelam but you have it rough, Rean." Makoto Nanaya muttered. "Are you mentally okay?"
"Honestly, I'm not sure. After all that's transpired... I feel like it's gonna get worst from here."
"Hmm... Well you did nearly escape death in the highlands, it's understandable that you would be... cautious." Ayato said.
"Still, are you really sure that you and Ayaka can join us?" Daisy asked.
"Not to worry. It is our vacation. And if our vacation is going to be in ruin because of the co-supreme leaders... we can extend it." Ayaka answered
"Well if you're okay with it." Levi said as they explore the manor further from hallways and then opening rooms that leads to bedrooms, next up to bathrooms, to dining rooms.
"Nothing here but just regular rich house layouts." Victor said.
"Hmm..." Rean pulling out the radar and have it scan the room for any changes. "Nothing from here."
"Hmm..." Raquel aim her hand and close her eyes.
"Um... Miss Raquel, what are you doing?" Lapis (Fire Emblem) asked
"Quiet. I'm trying to sense the energy." She replied as her senses wavelengths throughout the manner, however, all she felt was nothing. As if something is blocking her senses. "Hmm... How peculiar. It seems something is blocking my senses."
"Sense blocking..." Levi turn to Rean.
"Something really is blocking my senses too. Just like the Castle of Mittors..." Rean muttered
"I thought something was amiss here in this mansion..." Miko rub her chin. "It seems the enemy is using spiritual powers to nullify the senses of warriors and other beings by molding it into a void-like presence."
"A void? Is that why Me and Rean weren't able to sense anything?" Levi asked.
"Yes. By molding the spiritual energy into a void, the enemy can use it to nullify anything. Either that or using a creating a special dimential field that can nullified senses." Ei replied. "Either way, this mansion has been imbued as such."
"How awful..." Peach grimaced.
"I'm sure we can disable whatever causing this. But let's keep exploring, shall we?" Robin said as they leave the living room and head elsewhere in the manor.
They headed upstairs where they go through hallways until a portal of darkness appeared and something shoot from it as Ei notice it was directly aiming at Rean as she teleported and deflected it.
"..!" Rean flinched as everyone else stop.
"What was that?!" Alcryst exclaimed as another portal of darkness appeared, shooting another one.
"Look out!" Diamant swing and deflected it.
"Everyone, be on guard!" Citrinne got her tome out.
"A surprise attack. We gotta be careful from here!" Kirito stated.
"I'll form a barrier around us." Miko snapped her finger and form a barrier as they keep going.
As they go further into the hallways, they ended up getting attack by mysterious lasers but was boune off.
"It work!" Eugeo said
"Of course it work. Now keep moving and ignore them... for now." Miko said as they check out more bedrooms and exploring different hallways until they eventually head back to the entrance.
"Hmm... doesn't look like we'll find anything here. We've been through much of the mansion on the inside." Marnie said.
"Hmm... maybe it's not the insane we should be exploring." Asuna said
"Yeah. We have to check outside." Kirito nodded. "I saw a door leading to the garden from the looks of up. But we should be careful. We might end up getting attack."
"Sounds about right. Come on, let's go." Kairi said as they headed back to the Kitchen where they see a door leading to the garden.
They open the door and enter the garden where it was full of tall grasses.
"Wow, this place is overfun with grass." Emblem Kairi said.
"Then we'll just have to cut it to get through." Eugeo said as the swordfighters pull out their sword and cut the grass as they go through.
Another laser attack appeared but it was bounce off as they keep going, cutting the grass until they see a large white gate overrun with vines.
"Okay, time to do some gardening." Kirito got his sword out and slash the vines and then push the gate to open.
"Okay, does anyone else find this laser thing annoying?" Makoto Nanaya asked.
'Very." Everyone replied as they go through the gate and wonder around the manor garden for a moment until they see a botanical pathway.
They go through the pathway until it lead them to a large area where they see the generator in sight.
"Look! There it is!" Makoto Nanaya pointed.
"We found it!" Lapis cheered.
"Huh?" Alcryst eyes notice that in the distance, there was someone by the generator. "Wait, someone is there!"
(BGM ended)
They gotten closer and they see a familiar mad man.
"Ah, so you managed to find what you're looking for." He turn around, revealing to be Relius Clover.
(Trails into Reverie ost - Zero Encounter)
"Relius Clover!" Naoto Kurogane grit his teeth.
"Ah, if it isn't Naoto Kurogane. It's been awhile. As well as to you, Raquel Alcard. I must say, I did not expect that you too would be here in this world." Relius Clover said.
"Hmph. Out of all the men that I knew, to think you would be here. But considering the "possibility" in play. I should at least expect it." Raquel muttered.
"Augh... Why did YOU have to be here?" Makoto Nanaya muttered. "Don't tell me even you got a part of the whole uniting Crossbell thing."
"In part, yes. I'm only here to offer my expertise." Relius answered as he turn to Rean. "It's been only a few months since the Great Twilight. And I see that you are well and even been free from the Ebon Knight's curse. What a fine soul you've grown."
"Keep your filthy eyes off my boyfriend or I'm going to make you blind." Levi giving a death glare.
"Actually, you should make this son of a bitch blind." Emblem Ragna low growl
"Oh? Is that you, Ragna the Bloodedge?" Relius rub his chin. "No... How very interesting... You must be... Emblem Ragna? I heard tales about these Emblems of Elyos but seeing Ragna as an Emblem... How very interesting."
"Do you all know this man?" Diamant asked.
"Yeah. Relius Clover is a madman. He's good at engineering but he's very twisted. He's a scum of the earth." Emblem Ragna answered
"We encounter him before and he often cooperates with other sinister groups. Trust us, he's as diabolical as the devil." Rean glared.
"Then you convince me that this man need to be taken down." Dimitri glared.
"I've heard from Gaius that you're quite wanted, Relius, from both the Church and the Guild. Serves you right." Levi said.
"Ah, yes. The Septian Church and the Bracer Guild. Nothing more than folly, I assure you. But enough pleasantries, You're all here because of the Ebon Defense Force and the Co-supreme leaders' barrier, no? Well, you're free to do with what you please with the EDF, but Unfortunately, I was asked to make sure the generator remains activate until the day comes."
"Well sucks for you because we're going to shut this thing up!" Kirito got his sword out. "It's time that fake Rufus and Xehanort pay everything with his no-good trash gang."
"That's right! Besides, you're alone. What can you do against a large number like us?" Amber asked
"How about call out reinforcements?" A voice asked as corridors of darkness appeared as four Organization members appeared. Larxene, Marluxia, Ansem the Seeker of Darkness and now removing his hood, Xigbar. "Hello chumps!"
"You had to say something, Amber..." Jade sighed.
"Xigbar!" Kairi summon her Keyblade as everyone else took their stand.
"Members of Organization XIII. Larxene, Marluxia and even Ansem!" Emblem Roy growled.
"Well, look who's here at this crummy old mansion. If it isn't the loser gang from Nord." Larxene smirked sarcastically. "I heard you had your run in with that Divine Knight, and even almost got killed, Divine Blade. It must have hurt really bad, doesn't it?"
"Grrr!" Rean glared.
"Hehehe. Larxene, why not leave the poor one a rest. I'm sure it must have traumatized him from facing death, not one but twice from the looks of it." Marluxia said
"Save your empty words. I know you don't mean it."
"So we got four members of Organization XIII gonna block our way huh?" Makoto Nanaya asked
"Oh, it's not going to be just them." A voice said as Kirito and Eugeo had an ?! over their heads as a teleportion circle appeared and then appeared was Sugou and a young maiden.
"No..." Eugeo gasped
"Sugou..." Kirito grit his teeth. "And Quinella?!"
"So... it is you." Asuna muttered
"Ah, hello Kazuto, and to you Asuna. It's been so long since my arrest. Oh, I'm so glad that I can be here to exact my revenge against you, Kazuto. Or were you prefer, Kirito?" Sugou giving a menacing glare with a twisted smirk.
"Call me whatever you want. But I know you're not the real Sugou. The real one is still in prison." Kirito glared.
"Bah. Ah, yes. But it doesn't matter because that one was weak. But unlike me, I'm more than capable than the original. Because the powers that I've once wielded during your time with Alheim are with me. And I've been practicing to be a swordsman too, to get even with you." Fake Sugou dark grin. "You have no idea how much I wanted to spill your blood with my sword."
"As if you're capable for a machine. And I can assume the same for Quinella."
"Fake or not, I'm still the same Quinella you face before, Kirito. The same who also made your best friend an Integrity Knight, and the same one slew him." Quinella said behind a dark smirk.
"Grrr!" Kirito glared in rage.
"Kirito." Eugeo turn to him.
"Then I assume you're all have the same motivation against everyone you face in the past?" Robin asked.
"So it would seem." Ansem said. "Our goals in the past was completed. But every one of us has been given the offer for vengeance. However, we are nothing more than replicas of the foes you face."
"Wait... you knew you're not the real Ansem?" Chrom asked
"Of course we're aware of it." Larxene sighed. "I knew something was off when I got this craving for revenge. Turns out I'm just a replicas of the real Larxene."
"The same for me." Marluxia said nonchalantly. "The real me has already been completed back to humans. Right now, he's still looking somewhere for his sister. Not in this world, but from another."
"I see..." Ei said solemn as she fold her arms.
"I know Haru and the others wanted to help him with that promise of helping finding his sister..." Asuna trailed off.
"Most of us here knew that we're just replicas. I'm not interested in revenge because I already done my paint with the Keyblade War. Think I'm doing another one? As if!" Fake Xigbar said. "But unfortunately, as mere machines, we got orders to kill every one of you. Including your friends." He summon his Arrowguns out. "So how about we dance for the final time?"
"A dance, huh?" Daisy crack her knuckles. "Fine by me. We have a score to settle with the fake Rufus anyway. So we're gonna shut you guys down for good."
"Then by all means. Let us see then." Quinella summon a sword as she unleash a purple aura. "I may not be the real Quinella, but I do hold resentment toward you, Kirito. So which one of us will die here?"
"I call dibs of killing him first." Sugou glaring at Quinella. "You can do what you want with the others."
(BGM ended)
"Hmph. As if I will obey your command. Regardless... we have been granted the privilege to execute for revenge." Quinella flip her hair as her eyes glow purple.
(Kingdom Hearts 3 Remind ost - The 13th Struggle)
"And we will take every advantage of it."
"Heh. Indeed." Sugou cloak in a green battle aura and summon a golden sword. "I'm going to enjoy this, Kazuto. You will die here, same foes for your AI "Daughter". Oh, but don't you worry~ I'll be sure to take good care of Asune once you're departed."
"You're gonna regret seeing those words Sugou." Kirito glared in range and unleash a battle aura. "This time, I will end you, fake!"
"No one threatens my daughter or allows you to harass me again." Asuna readied
"And we're right with you guys!" Naoto Kurogane crack his fist. "Once we rid of this pile of scraps, we're coming for you Next Relius!"
"By all means. Allow me to collect every scrap of data from you." Relius smirked
Suddenly, Rean and Levi's Pokeballs came out were the two Cosmoems.
"Cosmoem? What are you both doing here?" Rean asked as his Greninja came out.
"Ninja?" Greninja tilt his head.
"I think they want to observe..." Levi said. "Well... okay, but be careful not to get caught up." Levi pull out his Pokeball. "Let's go, Baxcalibar!" He toss and came out Baxcalibur.

"My, that was rather a fine collecting of data I've collected. The product of those machines were truly fascinating. A pinnacle of machinery." Relius mused.
"All right, Relius. Your next." Emblem Ragna aim his Armmara. "Your toys aren't here to back you up."
"Oh, there's no need for that." Relius said. "I know when I am outmatch in terms of strength with you all combining as one. Therefore I will leave and will cause you no trouble. But I do wish you all luck against the trials ahead of you. Especially you, Rean Schwarzer. I'm looking forward to see if you'll be able to cut through the "void"."
"The void?" Rean asked as Relius teleported himself away.
"And he's gone..." Levi sighed. "Why do we let these villains get away?"
"I honestly don't know. But they're full of crafty tricks on their sleeves." Kirito sighed as they put their weapons away. "Come on. Let's go shut this thing up."
Kirito and the others headed to the machine as he begin to work on the temrinal.
"This machine is identical to the Castle of Mirror. But what is it being used to power the barrier?" Kirito wondered as he shut the machine down.
The hatches on the machine opened itself, revealing Ho-Ho, Latios and Latias as the collapse, causing everyone to have an ?! over their heads.
"Ho-Ho, Latios and Latias?!" Victor gasped in horror.
"They... they been using energy from the Legendary Pokemon?!" Marnie exclaimed in shock
"Come on, we need to get them—"

STABBED!
"Aah..." Rean eye widen as he felt his arms suddenly stopped as the others turn to him, then see the horror in their eyes as they see a energy lance.
(Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) ost - Elise's Tears)
"REAAAAAN!" Levi scream in horror as he reach out his hand as the energy lance disappeared as they turn and see Infinite.
"Ahahahahaha!" Infinite evil laughed as Rean fell into Levi's arms.
"BASTAAAAAARD!" Kirito, Victor, Daisy, Chrom, and Diamant yelled in rage as they along with Ei lung toward Infinite but he aim his hand and unleash a powerful shockwave to knock them away.
"Rean! Oh Gods Rean!" Makoto Nanaya exclaimed as she, Marnie, Peach, Robin and Alcryst gather around him.
"Quick! The 1-Up Mushroom!" Peach pull out the 1-Up Mushroom to place it at gentle place it at Rean's mounce but it rejected. "Ah!"
"What's happened?!" Marnie exclaimed in shock.
"Ahahaha! Unfortunately for you all, your hero—Rean Schwarzer is not permitted to live or resurrected any longer." Infinite laughed. "Try all you want, but it will all crumbled!"
"No!" Levi cried.
"Nngh..." Rean eye's begin to dull.
"Rean! Rean! Stay with us! I'll heal you!" Levi pleaded as he cast his healing magic onto him.
"Levi... What... happened... I... I... feel..." Rean slowly close his eyes as the others look in horror as Rean hear the voice of his lover and friends calling out to him but soon... fell into darkness.
(BGM ended)
"Aaugh..." Rean groaned as he open his eyes, seeing a blue sky as he rose up. "The Sky? It's so clear... Is it... morning?"
"I hate to break it to you sleepyhead, but it's neither morning or anything related to hours of dawn." A voice said as Rean had an ! over his head as a light came down in front of him and Chirity appeared before him.
"Wha— A... cat?" Rean blinked.
"Actually, I'm a Dream Eater. Although I'm pretty sure we've met before, Rean Schwarzer." Chirity said.
"We... met before?"
"Did you seriously forget? Although... I mean we did interact once before. It was back at that place upon Organization XIII defeat. Smash Bros Castle."
"Ah..." Rean low gasped. "I'm sorry... I'm afraid we hardly interact with each other that..."
"Ah, don't worry about it. It's my own fault that I haven't interact much with you since I was with Ventus." Chirity bush it off. "Anyway, I have some bad news for you. You're in the Final World."
(Kingdom Hearts 3 ost - Stranded Beyond)
"The Final World?" Rean asked. "As in... I'm in another world right now?"
"Lloyd ask that same question when he was here. You can think of it that way, but in reality, you're in limbo. In other word: You're dead." Chirity said, causing Rean to look horrified as he had an !? over his head.
"I... died...?" Rean as he recalled his final movements. "I remember now... I was... attacked from behind. And I heard Levi and the other choices for the final time. Then... that means..."
"Nope. You're not in the heavens or in Aidios's Hall if that's what you're thinking." Chirity shake his hands. "Just like I said to Lloyd, Your dead, but at the same time, you're not dead. Someone is holding you back, refuse to let you move on."
Rean lower his head. "It must be Levi... and my friends. How did I not notice that I was being attacked. Ah... of course, the manor was enchanted by a dimensional field that nullities senses... It won't be long until I received the 1-Up Mushroom though."
"Unfortunately I have bad news about that." Chirity said solemn. "No 1-Up Mushroom will save you this time. Nor any form of resurrection."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Well—" Chirity pause for a moment. "Oh. It seems we have another one."
"Another one?" Rean tilt his head.
"Follow me." Chirity said as he offer his hand as Rean grabbed and he and Chirity teleported to the same area but a different location where Lloyd was there.
"Is that...?!" Rean gasped.
"Yep."
Nngh..." Lloyd groaned as he woke up, looking at a blue sky. "The sky... is so clear..."
"I'll say." Chirithy said as he appeared and Rean appeared next to him.
"Chirithy!" Lloyd gasped. "If you're here... then that means..."
"Yup. Welcome back to the Final World." Chirithy nodded. "But it seems you're not alone this time."
"Huh?"
"Lloyd?" Rean waved as him as Lloyd turn and he gasped.
"Rean! You're... You're here... No... you been killed?"
"By a surprised attack." Rean nodded as he look at himself and notice that he and Lloyd were transparent. "I see you're the same. Since we're both transparent."
"What?" Lloyd look at himself. "T-This isn't what I was last time...!"
"That's because a powerful force is in play here." Chirithy said to the both of them. "This force bends the rules of life and death to its will. And this time, it doesn't want the both of you to go back to your worlds, even if someone is still clinging onto you. 1-Up Mushrooms or any resurrection won't save you now, I'm afraid."
"I see..." Rean trailed off.
"No..." Lloyd grit is teeth. "Why is this happening?"
Rean closed his eyes as he vision Chaos Rean. 'Could it be...him.'
"Lloyd! Rean!" A voice cried out to them as they both had an ?! over their heads as they saw a portal of light and then came from it was Mickey.
"Mickey!" Rean exclaimed. "Don't tell me you've been killed too..."
Mickey took his head. "Nope. I'm alive. I came to picked the two of you."
"The two of us... wait... you mean you knew we were gonna die?"
"No. It was foretold." Mickey answered with a grim look. "You see, Celebi traveled back in time to warn us that your death caused a major causality change. Everyone was in grief and the enemy took that into advantage. Even they keep up fighting, the enemy launches a surprise attack to kill everyone... and with your deaths, Zemuria with it..."
"No..." Rean griamced.
"But there is a way we can prevent this. But first, we got to get you guys out of here."
"But how? Some force is preventing us from being resurrected." Lloyd stated
"Yes. However, there is one we could try." Mickey said. "The power of waking."
"The power of waking... I heard that before during Pi'illo Island." Rean said
"Right. The power of waking has the power to wake a sleeping heart. But it can also revive people who died without becoming a Heartless or Nobody, returning their heart to a living. With this special technique... Not only we can return you back to your worlds but also go back to the past, altering the timeline."
"Can we do that?" Lloyd asked
"Yes... however..."
"What is it?"
"It won't work in your current circumstance." Chirithy pointed at them. "Both of you managed to maintain some pieces of your self. But they're scattered in this world. If you want to go back, you must fix yourself."
"He's right. Let's get you back into pieces and then we can return you both to the world."
"Pieces of ourselves?" Lloyd looks at himself.
"He means conceptionally. Not literally in pieces." Chirity explained. "However, I also wanted to add that with the portal here, you two basically have to go back in time the moment before your death."
"Wait, you mean we both have to go back to the moment where we were killed?" Rean asked in surprise.
'Fraid so. That's how it work."
"But isn't there some way other than that?" Lloyd asked
Chirity shook his head. "I'm afraid not."
Rean sighed. "It can't be helped then. Come on. Let's go friend the pieces of ourselves."
"Right." Lloyd nodded as he, Rean and Mickey headed out to find themselves as Chirity disappeared.
They spotted countless pieces of themselves moving around the areas.
"I found a couple of mine!" Rean said
"I've found mine too!" Lloyd said as they go around, collecting pieces of themselves.
One piece collecting later...
"All right!" Lloyd look at himself as Rean did the same. "We're back in order!"
"Perfect! Now let's head back." Mickey smiled
"Yeah." Rean smiled as they enter the portal.

Several Minutes earlier...
"Oh, there's no need for that." Relius said. "I know when I am outmatch in terms of strength with you all combining as one. Therefore I will leave and will cause you no trouble. But I do wish you all luck against the trials ahead of you. Especially you, Rean Schwarzer. I'm looking forward to see if you'll be able to cut through the "void"."
"The void?" Rean asked as Relius teleported himself away.
"And he's gone..." Levi sighed. "Why do we let these villains get away?"
"I honestly don't know. But they're full of crafty tricks on their sleeves." Kirito sighed as they put their weapons away. "Come on. Let's go shut this thing up."
Kirito and the others headed to the machine as he begin to work on the temrinal.

"REAAAAAN!" Levi scream in horror as he reach out his hand as the energy lance disappeared as they turn and see Infinite.
"Ahahahahaha!" Infinite evil laughed as Rean fell into Levi's arms.
However, a spark of light appeared at his chest where only Rean can see it.
'Nngh... Damn this hurts a lot more than I thought...!' Rean thought.
"BASTAAAAAARD!" Kirito, Victor, Daisy, Chrom, and Diamant yelled in rage as they along with Ei lung toward Infinite but he aim his hand and unleash a powerful shockwave to knock them away.
"Rean! Oh Gods Rean!" Makoto Nanaya exclaimed as she, Marnie, Peach, Robin and Alcryst gather around him.

"Nngh..." Rean close his eyes.
"Rean! Rean! Stay with us! I'll heal you!" Levi pleaded as he cast his healing magic onto him.
"Levi... there's no need."
"What are you saying!? Don't go, I'll—"
"No..." Rean touch Levi's hand as he look surprised and confused.
(BMG ended)
"I mean..." Rean slowly draw his Tachi and then he grit his teeth.
(Trails into Reverie ost - The Road To An All Out War)
Rean hop back on his feet. "That won't be necessary!" He lung toward Infinite.
"What?!" Infinite exclaimed in surprised as Rean slash him away. "Augh!" He slam into the fell and fell to his knees.
"Rean!?" Ei gasped in shocked as everyone else was shocked as she is. "But how did you—"
"I'll explain later, right now, we have to take the enemy with us down." Rean replied.
"Nngh..." Levi grit his teeth, got his glaive and unleashes his battle aura. "You son of a bitch." He gave an intense death glare. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HIM!" He lung at insane speed to slash Infinite but he teleported to the rooftop. "GET BACK HERE!"
"Nngh... How could the assassination fell when I directly strike you at your heart? You're not immortal like the forebearers before you." Infinite muttered. "I don't know how you managed to survive but there won't be a next time." He then teleported away.
(BGM ended)
"GET BACK HERE!' Levi roared.
"Leave him. We'll run into him another time." Rean told him.
"Nngh..." Levi lower his head as he crenched his teeth and then drop his Glaive and ran toward Rean and hug him.
"Oough!"
(Genshin Impact ost - Lover's Oath or Trails Through Daybreak ost - In the Dawn)
Levi cried hard on Rean's chest, hugging him right. "Rean... Thank *sob* the gods...! WAAAAAHAAAAAAA!"
Rean hug and comfort him. "I'm sorry, Levi. Cry all you want. You definitely earn that after what just happened."
One crying later...
Levi whipping his tears. "How... How did you managed to survive when that bastard piece your heart?"
"Yes, that is what I want to know too." Ei chin in. "It's impossible for you to avoid death... unless you have healing capabilities that you kept from us."
"No. I owe it to King Mickey. He used the Power of Waking on me." Rean explained.
"The... *sob* what?"
"The power of waking..." Miko rub her chin. "Of course. The power of waking is special technique that awake a heart from slumber... But it can also resurrect a person who hasn't become a heartless or a nobody. But... How did— No... let's hold that off for now. Because that isn't the only concern I'm worried about for you."
"Yes. I'm sensing a fragment of the Chaos Heart's power within you, Rean." Ei agreed
"What?" Rean eye widen.
"Levi, examine him.." Ei said.
"Huh... Oh.. right." Levi wipe his tears and then place his hand on Rean's chest and sent an aura wave to scan his body until he had an !? over his head. "What... is this? This is the Chaos Heart's power all right... but... it's taken a hold on you, Rean! Like... it cursed you!"
"I'm cursed by the Chaos Heart?" Rean asked in surprise until he pictured Chaos Rean. 'What did he do to me?'
Ei let out a tch. "We need to remove that curse that inflicted him. Levi, you're more proficient so—"
"Guys! Sorry to interrupt." Kirito approached the group. "I have been doing digging on the machine as we free Kyurem, Genesect, Deoxys and I've managed to decode one of the other generators' location!"
"Really? Where is it?" Rean asked
"I was able to find the coordinates but... it's in Inaba... A portal leading to it is here in the Mushroom Kingdom."
"What?!"
"Yu's world..." Makoto Nanaya muttered. "Oh, the Investigation gang are not gonna like this. We need to report to everyone and get our Pokemons here some rest."
"Right. Everyone, call Hoopa and Lord Arceus!" Rean yelled.
And that's a wrap for this chapter! Here is Rean's POV of how he died by Infinite's hand in case many of you are wondering. But now he's backs to Mickey! Which of course is already explain in the previouc chapter. Anyway... Merry Christmas one and all!
