"Well, I'm given to understand he's had some sort of stomach disturbance as of late." Unbeknownst to Xerneas, Bahamut had his badge inside his ethereal body, hidden behind his crystal chasis to record everything the conversation. The others wanted proof something was wrong with Xerneas? They'd...

“Are you listening to yourself? You’re listing off his features like some swooning adolescent.” Bahamut vaguely recalled Esper having a phrase for this kind of behavior. Sun-deer? Sun-dare? Something like that.

“Are you paranoid about him or mentally ogling him?” Bahamut wondered if Diyem could hear any of this.

Bahamut was far less subtle in his approach. "Did your precious Tree not forward you the news? Your planet's Worldcore is corrupted beyond all measure. Someone needs to see if it's affecting the Tree... and you're as blind to blacklight energy as the rest of your contemporaries. So, if you would...

"Don't." With a sigh, Bahamut rose from his seated position. "That grouch, Xerneas, is still skulking around. And I still think you shades shouldn't approach the Tree. You might resonate with Eternatus... and lose control of yourself." He floated closer to the Tree and mentally probed it...

“Apparently the Worldcore is corrupted. It’s gone full Darkwhite.”

When Zekrom told me about Dark Matter and the Tree, I was the one who hypothesized a switch might have happened, Bahamut elaborated. Honestly, how it never crossed some of these ageless gods' minds is beyond me.

Fascinating. Well, as long as this is show-and-tell hour, I have news courtesy of a conversation with Zekrom from a few days ago. It turns out that the Dark Matter that led the attack on Cibus' Tree of Life was not the Dark Matter originally linked to the planet. Rather, it appears to be the one...

Bahamut was about to relent when voices echoed in his head and alerts went off on his badge. Red and orange gradually expanded in his eyes as he listened everything over. We should've killed Darkwhite when we had the chance. He sighed. Well, it can't be helped now. "I'm staying put. There's...

... hmph. Must be a pretty lousy core if it can be broken. [S0urdough > Team Spectrum]: I've been monitoring the Tree. It is still a tree. 👍🌳

Bahamut sighed. "But I just got comfortable." It was entirely clear if he was serious.

Bahamut just stared back, then gestured to his odd, bulky legs with a look that suggested nothing about his current appearance lent him to actually walking anywhere.

"You need not waste energy worrying for someone like me." Bahamut rested his head back against the tree. "People who have befriended me have a terrible habit of getting killed."

"Don't do it." Bahamut picked his head up to look down at the tiny girl Owen. "The universe I'm from is one I'd only send my worst enemies to. Like Giovanni. I'm sure the team would pay big bucks to watch his reaction to seeing Etherium's Eternatus in all of its titanic glory. "Besides... I...

“Well you can’t just sit here the whole time.” Bahamut switched the position of his legs. “If you want to find something that interests you, you have to go out and explore.”

"Well, do you really think you'd be able to go to your partner's world?" Bahamut tapped his bottom chest spike with a lower wing. "Do you think they'll be as accepting of you as this planet is?" He paused. "I'm sure you'll say it's possible, but now consider it for every one of the shades. The...

Bahamut tutted. "This is assuming you could even survive jumping between dimensions. It's entirely possible those mushy bodies of yours are not strong enough to travel between worlds, in which case the choice will be made for you."

Bahamut hummed. "It's a nice thought, but I wouldn't attempt it if I were you. This world is your home, in my opinion. It's nice. The people can be kind to you. And the other shades can provide you a sense of family." He shook his head. "It's not worth throwing that out to try and find my universe."

"Probably." Bahamut shrugged. "I'm sure Cibus will turn out fine. The only ones who can't get a happy ending in this scenario are our teammates. We will all be forced back to our respective worlds, many of us forgetting that these events ever happened. Some folks are certainly making the most of...

“Dark Matter just surrendered,” Bahamut said. “Zekrom told me as much.”
