"Yes. Many times." The air felt a little hotter, like an incoming sunburn. "I've seen many worlds struggle against Dark Matter, some of them on the verge of defeat. Joule and I have stepped in many times with our team, and I have purged every one from the world they came from. Dark Matter can...

Meringue nodded. "Yeah, you guys are definitely, uh, impressive." He took another sip of his drink, eyes drifting ahead aimlessly. "Sometimes I wish I could get as strong as you guys are, so quickly. But Lugia says that you guys probably won't even last a year with how quickly your auras are...

"Hey, take me to dinner first at least," Soda said with a shrug. "Though, I wouldn't be against that sorta thing if you asked nicely." He winked. It didn't look like he had anything particularly productive to add; his powers were illusory in nature, and it didn't seem like he knew or cared about...

"Yeah! Yeah! Rage against the machine!" Darkwhite announced, followed by eating part of the gutter.

Maple, too, did not wish to go there, but she had no choice if it meant unraveling whatever mysteries had followed her to Cibus. "I don't know," she said. "That's where my memories of Telum end, too. A great shockwave, this horrible feeling in my chest, like the whole world was about to end. It...

And yet, it seemed that Buffet had left them behind for now. He was still there, a little, fairy-sized Hydreigon that flitted over Brisa's shoulder, but he said nothing to assist in the conversation one way or the other. He felt, at least for now, that it was not his place to interfere unless...

Meringue chuckled. "No, I don't think it evens out the same. The raw power Rayquaza was giving off... Seems to me like he was trying to work with a power he didn't know how to use. Though, I'll give you that. You were fighting all three of them at once, and a seasoned team that fought under a...

"Yeah, I've been fine," Meringue said. "I guess I'm just trying to remember your odd names, is all. I remember your face at least." He took a sip; the sourness didn't seem to bother him too much, and some of the liquid stuck to his beak. "...I heard you guys did pretty well against Rayquaza. He...

It wasn't hard to spot Pleo and Cabot, mostly for the former. A few mumbled to one another about the appearance of another Lugia, this one a mockery of what was supposed to be the Guardian of the Sea. And yet there another one stood, some half-formed abomination with a stone heart. The wave of...

Darkwhite giggled and drifted away. "Anyway, I guess while you're doing your thing, I'm gonna listen to whatever you have to say and leave for someplace nearby. I'm gonna see if there are more of those dumb cards hiding out!" And with that, she disappeared for the rooftops, searching around the...

Act III – A Faded Voice A red sphere shielded itself inside a hollow shell. While it could not curl, it was the closest equivalent to hiding away from the world: within its void, within its own small reality. All around it, above and below and behind and in front, were little pinpricks of...

"Cino..." Owen gestured for Tary to stay behind him. "Cino, you aren't a monster... But you aren't in control of yourself right now." He eyed the four tendrils carefully, then looked to Wishkeeper, who nodded. "You have to fight it... or I'll have to fight you. Focus, Cino. You don't need to...

Thanks to all of you for all the kind words and strong feedback! I've talked to you both elsewhere, but in general I'm really glad that you're enjoying yourself, Navar, and Espy, I hope things pick up for you in the coming chapters. I've definitely been putting a greater focus on picking up the...

Her tongue, far longer than it should have been, went down his throat and wriggled like some kind of sentient noodle. Then, she pulled away with a gasp, and the arrow disappeared from her head, along with any sign of the wound. She gasped and embraced him, nuzzling under his neck. "Myyy hero!"

"I need... I need..." She coughed, which produced a swirl of white and black smoke. Her eyes bulged out. "The cure... I need the cure... this arrow is poisoned... it's a poison arrow, and the only cure..." She stared deeply into his eyes. "Is a kiss... from a great, passionate wizard..." Black...

"Celebi..." Maple stopped rolling the ball. "Darkwhite was so chaotic that I hadn't even considered that. Balm and Cecpa must be nearby, right? I'll put that to the..." She cleared her throat. "Good idea pile next." Then, she considered Nate's theory. "We have at least four known Dark Matters...

Owen kept calm, and once he found an opening between Cino's outbursts, he swiftly placed a firm hand on his shoulder. "Cino, keep it together, alright?" He shook him a little. "That monster isn't here right now. It's all in your head and manifesting as Shadows at most. You are in control of it...

And then came someone else drifting out of the rooms, wobbling and gasping for air. "N-no... I can't..." There was a sharp, gleaming arrow shoved through the side of her head. She gasped for breath, then collapsed onto the ground, tongue lolling out. "It's over for me... I see... a great...

Maple paused at this, holding her Ultra Stone in place. "...You're right," she said. "We did see those. They had come directly from Joule and they had been visible. Yet when we searched the Reverse World again, we saw no sign of them. We assumed they had been destroyed, but if they're somehow...

They passed by several little collections of stars along the way. Some of them drifted listlessly, others seemed to drift with them like debris in a current. A few were more active, following them like curious children, and when Buffet gave a little smile to one of them, it suggested that...
