"You do have time," Fugu said. "Perhaps when you remember, when you have a moment alone with either of them, you can see. Do not let it eat away at you. How is this different to you, then, compared to preparing for a battle, or a mission? Is it... more personal?"

Owen gestured downward. "This town is a representation of a lot of my memories. Maybe all of them. Each house is a different part of it. There's one house in the outskirts that's a little different. It's weird. I think that's where the block is." But I can't do anything there. It's creepy...

"Finding your courage," Fugu said, nodding. "How will you do that?"

Fugu nodded along, furrowing her brow sometimes, and then relaxing them in others. "Perhaps you should ask anyway to be sure," she said. "From what has been told to me, these memories may go away, but they may also return. You wouldn't want to wake up one day to regrets. Communication is...

"Yeah." It's ridiculous. Part of a curse back home. It's nice to have things in order for once. "It doesn't really matter while I'm here, though. Once I go back to my real home, it's going to get scrambled again. Maybe one day I'll break the curse." Owen sighed. "...I guess it's only...

"A little," Owen said. Only a little because it's still hazy. A long, long time ago. You have a few things in common. I've never seen him as a crystal, though. He followed after Bahamut, drifting left and right to have something other than a static direction.

Fugu nodded. "You love them, then?" she asked, echoing something that Brisa had said during the battle. "It must be difficult when you know that it's all so fleeting. How do you see it now?"

"I do!" Owen replied enthusiastically, spreading his wings. Is this why he wanted to visit? No, he's just being nice. That's nice of him. What's he looking for? "I'll follow your lead," he said. "This town is pretty big, but I don't think we'll be able to go too far before getting turned around."

Yellow shook his head. "Nope. That was the point. In case somehow y'got us... kinda like this." He snorted, looking off.

Fugu's job was done for the time being, at least while Brisa gathered herself. She let Brisa go at her own pace and stood next to her, becoming someone to lean on. And there, she waited patiently.

Salazzle nodded, frowning. "That's an interesting one," she said. "Owen's around. I think I saw him around town. You know, they say he's a cryptid. Rumor is that people forget about him every few decades and a new Owen shows up to take his place." She walked past Bahamut. "Don't know about...

The paper folded itself up into an origami Charizard and flew away, disappearing a few moments after it left a stone's throw from Bahamut's current position. It semeed that while Owen's psyche processed what that meant, a few of the mindscape's apparitions, perhaps more curious than the others...

"Ngh--!" And for once, Fugu had seen it coming, but she timed it just right. She leapt back and conjured a quick barrier of green, blocking most of the Z-Burst despite it repelling her back and into the wall where even more of that energy frayed out and zapped the walls. Everything was a...

Owen closed one eye in a wince, but then nodded and quickly drew out Wishkeeper to help lower Bahamut's body partway and keep him stable. "Careful..." Owen mumbled. ... ... It was a town. Perhaps a city, given its size. Bahamut had appeared in a flash of light Behind him was a rocky spire and...

"I get all that," Owen said. "I was more talking about if something goes wrong for you. If you can... tap your claw against something like a rock twice if you feel you're in danger, and I'll toss your core." He crossed his legs and curled his tail. "I'm ready, though. Be careful what you touch...

Fugu listened and parried and let Brisa talk as much as she liked. She saw the true attacks coming, the ones where Brisa would be at her strongest, and she knew it would be time, soon, to send it all back to her. But there was one last question she could try--a gamble, perhaps--that could very...

Owen frowned, catching that glint in Bahamut's eye. "I'd be careful about that," he said gently. "I don't know how strong you are in your world, but here, that might actually be, y'know... risky. Do you have any precautions if something goes wrong? If you're in the middle of something and you...

"I can't really help it," Owen replied with a titter, folding his wings behind him. "I think this is back from Wishkeeper's old size from way back. Oh, but I can do this, now." Owen focused and his wings went from standard to aflame, and then extinguished, back to normal. "So that's pretty cool."

The elevator ascending and then descending announced Owen's presence. To their fortune, it was indeed large enough to accommodate Owen's new weight and size, and the glimmering Charizard stepped out and onto the field. He raised an arm and wing to wave Bahamut down, and then conjured some...

Xernatus warms up relatively quickly over a few days, and eventually even laughs at a few of the things Koa says. However, he has no idea what he's talking about regarding the meteor. He still hesitates to go into Destiny Village, but day by day seems more ready to do so. He mentions that he...
