[Shield > Team Spectrum]: Hey everyone. I don't think I've talked with you guys before, but I think I wanted to let you guys know about something. While we were fighting in the Colosseum, Sword remembered one last thing about what happened just before Telum was destroyed. I think it has some answers to how this all happened at all, so... Lots of words coming, but here's what we think happened...
[Brisket > Team Spectrum]: Appreciate the information, partner. We're still trying to put together all the lore we can about the Blacklight crisis, and this is a huge missing piece. Many thanks!
[Brisket > Team Spectrum]: Quick summary for the impatient: Dark Matter of Telum was able to seize the mind of Giovanni's Mewtwo as a vessel for itself due to its weak will. An eternatus was present for Sword and Shield's final confrontation with Dark Matter, and Telum's Voice of Life, Hydreigon Blade, even as Dark Matter consumed him, sent some of his own energy to that eternatus in a desperate last ditch effort to win. Immediately after that, eternatus's essence was bound to Dark Matter, Mewtwo, Sword, and Shield. All present were then bound up inside the being we now know as Maple.
[Brisket > Team Spectrum]: As I understand it, that means the entity controlling Blacklight Mewtwo is actually a part of Dark Matter, the part not already bound to Maple. His mind is completely overtaken. That's downright horrifying to cogitate over, I'll say.
