It was a Saturday morning in Celetris and Aurafu was running some errands and missions before heading to Kresin and his friend's house.
Aurafu knocks on the door "Morning to y'all. I have to find Kooper because it's been a few days since I last saw him. After all, I have been hiding with Latias."
"Finally came out of the shadows, eh?" Noiwave came flying down and lands on their mailbox.
"Noiwave! you found a new job already?"
"Same job, different world as a mail Noivern, but the pay is good at least, so I'll just put up with anyone's bull s**t," She says before pulling out their mail.
"YOU GOT MAIL!" Kooper pops out of the mailbox.
"EXCEPT THAT, STOP DOING THAT!" Noiwave steps back and throws a letter at Kooper "That one was for you anyways!"
Kooper looks at the letter in surprise "Wait... this letter looks like it was made by Princess Peach! where did you get this, Noiwave!?"
"Who do you think?" Dry Bones jumped out of Noiwave's mailbag "I went to Peach's Castle the other day and I told Toadsworth and Parrykarry that I was hanging with you. Now shut up and read the letter. I wanna go party!"
Dear Kooper:
Please come to the castle. We're holding a surprise party when you return. Yours truly-
Princess Toadstool Peach.
"Well, that's all she has to tell me. Let's go!"
"You two boys go have fun now." Aurafu pulls Kooper out of the mailbox and set him on the ground "Despite all the places we have adventures to so far, it's always nice to go back home, even if it's just a visit"
"Yeah whatever, big guy"
Dry Bones plays on his warp whistle and a small twister comes to pick up the two Koopa's, not before almost swooping up Noiwave and she jumps right into Aurafu's arm.
"...Is this a sign, Noiwave?" Aurafu tilts his head.
"Yeah, it's a sign for me to get the hell out of here" Noiwave flies out of his arms and up in the sky to continue her deliveries.
"Oh well. Next time" He shrugs and knocks on Kresin's door.
In a nearby bush, someone was peeking out and was looking at the Rescue Team before they scurried out the bush.
"Hmm?" Aurafu's aura glows and he sees a body in the bushes "Ok let's get this over with" he said annoyed before walking up to the bushes and sees a body "of course. There is only one logical place to take this character."
Loading The Police Station Of Celetris In Autumn Village.
Aurafu walks into the Police station wearing a cloak.
"How do you do, Aurafu" Lucy waves at them at the front desk "What the hell do you want?"
"Well, I'll tell you what the hell I want! this Delphox has some history with me, to say the least, and I found her in a bush.''
"I see… We will see what we can do, but a potion can probably fix her up. Just hand over her so we can take her to the interrogation room" Lucy then gets up and Aurafu hands Delphox to her, as she struggles to carry her "Arrgh! damn, this is one fat Delphox!"
Loading the interrogation room.
"Sigh, I don't have the time for this" Lucy heals her with a potion and paralyze heal before she spills water on the Delphox face "Speak."
The Delphox finally wakes up "Huh!? Where am I?!"
"This is Celetris. You were found knocked out in some bush is what a comrade of mine told me."
"Celetris?! But I thought I was a human WAIT A MINUTE! A Lucario that CAN TALK!?"
"Oh, here we go again with this Human, s**t" Lucy rolls her eyes.
"Also why am I here, to begin with? Apart from um I guess being knocked out."
"Don't ask questions we don't know the answers to. Who are you and do you remember anything?"
"Well, I'm a human named Rena, suddenly I appeared in a world that was unknown. But a sudden shadow or what it looked like a wolf appeared and was glowing a lot, especially their red eyes."
"...Boys, bring that Urshifu in here" Lucy yells out the room.
"Huh!? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?"
Aurafu walks into the room "I'm here, I'm here it's me!"
"So tell me, Aurafu do you know anything about this Rena character?"
"Mhm, I should have said this from the start. I met Rena back in my home universe when she was trying to destroy a city, she was turning into different Pokemon. I also met Kooper and Noiwave there. The reason why I have this weird aura form is that I believe she was a Riolu or Lucario beforehand and she might have still had some aura inside of her when she was in her Delphox, so she bit into my arm and the aura went into my bloodstream."
"But I don't remember any of that I never met you till now."
"That's what they all say. She is a void shadow then."
Rena felt pressured because they seem confident with their statement, she slowly starts to cry and feel overwhelmed. "NOO I'M NOT A POKÉMON AT ALL!"
Lucy slams her fist on the table "Void shadows can't turn into Humans! you're lucky you lost your memory because now we can't read your mind with our AURA!"
"Lucy! calm down!" Aurafu set's his paw on her shoulder. "Thankfully, Kooper has blessed me with a treasure that lets me communicate with him" he pulls out a Game Boy Horror.
"His world has a device where you can communicate with someone across dimensions/universes? this technology stuff keeps getting better. I wonder if Kooper will take Dialis and Arcenis if I can buy one off of him." Lucy rubs her paws together.
"Oh, it's a game boy. I remember having one of those when I was a kid. But it's supposed to be played not for communication."
"Oh no, this is special. This Game Boy Kooper bought it from a strange man in a white coat. It displays a map, the user's stats, camera thingy, and communication... oh and it can play these Video Games he is talking about." Aurafu then attempts to call Kooper.
Meanwhile, in the Mushroom Kingdom, Kooper and Dry Bones made it to Peach's Castle and were waiting for the party to start, as they were talking to an old friend.
"I have to say, Parrykarry this Koopa tea is f**cking slamming... too bad I can't taste it" Dry Bones poured the tea in his mouth and it spilled onto the floor.
"Yeah but... how did you meet all those strange Pokemon in the first place, Kooper? you just went missing one-day" Parrykarry said while taking a sip of the tea "And Dry Bones overhear he's just weird, like why is your name just Dry Bones?"
"I-I um... I am on some Sticker Star s**t" he pulls out a copy of Paper Mario: Sticker Star "Ill just avoid that stupid question and explain how I got his warp whistle. So one day I was inside Tubba Blubba's old castle in Gusty Gulch, I was looking in his master bedroom and I came across an NES Game Genie, so I rubbed it not expecting a real-life Genie to come out and BAM! There he was and he granted me 3 wishes, my first was for the Warp Whistle itself, the second was so I can use it an infinite amount of times and the last was so I can travel to any universe I wished far beyond World 9 from Super Mario Bros 3. The first place I ended up at was bum f**king nowhere and when I played the whistle to get out of there, I dropped it into the ground before the twister took me away back home. So that's why Kooper and his mates ended up with it."
"But you never said that you had it in the first place!"
"Yeah, it's fun hiding stuff because one day all of you will die, and I'll be the only one that will know everything."
Kooper glares at him blankly before he gets a call "Oh geez! my Game Boy I'm sorry I'm blowing up right now" he then picks up the call "You miss me already, Aurafu?"
"No, not really. Listen, Kooper, we need both of you to get back here because we have Rena back here, but her memory is gone so we need some extra information about her if you have any."
"But do we have to go now? The party is about to start."
"No one cares about your damn party! people are only coming to get high off of magic mushrooms!" Lucy claims angrily.
While Lucy was saying that, Dry Bones was cutting up a mushroom into small pieces before hiding it in his shoe "I don't know why you would say that."
"I'm sorry. Just come down here real quick so you can act as a witness, and then you can go back to your party after that I promise."
"Ok. Sorry everyone I will be right back after this investigation."
Dry Bones tried to play the whistle, but it would not let him indoors, so he had to drag Kooper outside to finally warp back to Celetris and outside the Police Station.
"WARNING! EVERYONE GET DOWN OR THEY WILL BE A GUN IN AT YOUR FRONT DOOR TOMORROW MORNING!" Dry Bones yelled through a megaphone.
Lucy then pointed a gun at his head as she was shaking and sweating from being spooked "Not t-today you w-won't!"
"Why do you need a gun when you probably have Aura Sphere?" Dry Bones pulled out a Tranquilizer Gun.
Lucy and Dry Bones slowly hand trade their guns and Lucy shoots Dry Bones in the nose with the Tranquilizer Gun, putting him to sleep.
"Gotcha, bitch!" She pocket-picks the knife he had.
"Ok, that's enough. Let's focus on the matter at hand. So tell me Kooper how you met Rena yourself"
"Well when I ended up in your world, I lost my memory for some reason and that's when I came across Rena who was a Riolu at that time. She had this weird, corrupted side to her that was a Delphox and she said that I was a part of a Rescue Team that killed her Brother, took advantage of her, framing her, and a little more. She also has no Family from what I remember hearing."
Aurafu put his paws into Kooper's hands "He seems to be truthful about what he is saying now judging by his aura, but what does this all mean?"
Rena looks at them and tilts my head wondering what is going on with the interrogation "To be honest, I never mee y'all till y'all appear in that town. But then all I know was I saw something glowing and knocked me out"
"Well, there are two people in here that can glow" Kooper points at both Lucy and Aurafu.
"Are you saying one of us knocked her daylights out?"
"None of this makes any sense. This must be from some other timeline where this happened, so if this was true we simply can't be held accountable."
"I never met that kid as I said only in that specific town, then I got ambushed and now I'm here."
"How about that nightmare you had, Kooper?"
"She was there and everyone was trying to kill me! blah, blah, blah and then there was this big bad wolf there too or something. I don't know, do you? These questions make my head hurt."
"Speaking of heads hurting, I hear some beeping in the background" Lucy's ear twitches.
The interrogation room exploded all of a sudden, covering everyone off guard and in ashes.
Dry Bones wakes up "That sounded like some 1980s explosion what the f**k was that!?" He then looks at a wolf in front of them "And why is there a Furry here now? I thought this was a Video Game exclusive, dammit!"
"That's the wolf that was in that nightmare I had!" Kooper slowly walks up to him "Hey Seriph, how's it going-"
Seriph stares deeply into Kooper eyes, smilingly and giggling uncomfortably.
Lucy pulls Kooper back "Hold on, kid. Let the professionals do the work here." The other officers are right behind his back. She walks up to Seriph and gets punched right in her gut.
Seriph looks up at Aurafu as his eyes twitch. His whole body is basking in glitch particles and he changes into a shadowy figure of himself. He created a dark aura sphere that Seriph created that seemed to be different with a dark, sparkly texture.
"I am not letting you hurt my friends, Seriph" Kooper stands by Aurafu's side ready to fight by his side.
"Is that so? how much do you really like your friends~ because I'm taking someone down" Seriph's whole body began shaking his pupils gotten shorten and his pupils turn deep red as he went psycho "I only used Rena for the pleasure of messing around with y'all she doesn't even know who y'all are and she seems to be under my control this entire time~"
"If you were controlling her, then why could you not get out of that corrupted world then" Kooper squints.
"Amusement and simple desires" He snaps his fingers and his eyes begin to glow along with Rena's.
"You freaking played me like I was a toy! you made her say all that about how all my friends were actually not real and now they're here right now about to take you to town!"
"I would like to see ya try dork but I'm gonna have enjoyment torturing all of you!" Seriph spins one of his weapons and knocks Aurafu, Lucy, and Dry Bones out the way to dash towards Kooper when he is vulnerable, he grabs him and bashes him in the head before throwing him at the wall, breaking it.
Aurafu shoots his aura sphere in the back of Seriph and pins him to the wall "No one hurts my son Kooper and I won't let you seal his fate EVER!" He pummels Seriph with his head.
Rena uses mystical fire on Aurafu to follow up by lifting him and smashes him against the wall. Lucy ice punches her directly in her back to break Aurafu out of her grasp.
"Lucy we have to warn the residents to take shelter right now from these Void Shadows right now! Dry Bones, you take Kooper back to Kresin's house right now!"
"Whatever you say, big boss bear" Dry Bones rushes to Kooper to pick him up "That Furry just shafted you completely, Kooper."
Seriph pounds the floor and summons an army of Void Shadows "WAKE UP AND RISE FROM THE UNDERGROUND AND CAUSE AS MUCH CORRUPTION AS YA CAN!"
Dry Bones ran outside and gathered all the Pokémon's attention with his megaphone "Attention all Pocket Monsters! There is a public service Announcement to announce that there are two Void Shadows in the Police station right now! Do not approach them and take shelter right now or you will die!" Dry Bones runs to Kresin's house and knocks on his door frantically. "Come on guys! It's raining hell out here!"
Kresin yawned loudly, before quickly snapping into action. "Volstro! We got business!"
The Helioptile was already racing down the stairs. He hurriedly finished tying his sword belt and himself before rushing out the door. He never said a word.
"There is no time to explain, so I'll waste our time explaining. We got two Void Shadows making a commotion down the mountain and they killed Kooper, so we have to cremate him."
"There is no time to explain. We got two Void Shadows making a commotion down at Autumn Forest and they killed Kooper, so we have to cremate him."
"... We're not cremating him."
Dry Bones drops Kooper and walks near the cliffside of Astral Mountain, looking down at the destruction "Well, it's game over now or never if we don't clubber that Wolf down there."
Kooper staggers up next to Dry Bones "But we don't have any healing items. I almost died in one hit."
"Unless" Dry Bones then takes off his shoe and pours out the mushroom that he chopped up earlier "Guess you can say we're boned" He winked.
"So what's the plan, then?" Kresin asked. "But I mean aside from that."
"It's not gonna be easy. It's us VS an army of Void Shadows" Kooper says while blood drips out his nose "We had to head to the Autumn village where all the Void Shadows and copyrighted music is at" he points down the mountain.
"Then what are we waiting for? We got a battle to fight!"
The four all rush down to Autumn Village, hiding in the leaf piles while they try to come up with a plan as Seriph was blasting music with his electric guitar. Soon the autumn village lost its original colors and now are replaced with a purple, black, and blueish texture that covered the area.
"Who turned off the colors!?" Kooper comes out of the leaves, breaking his cover.
"Hey! Careful!" Kresin shouted, hiding in his illusions and sneaking around, looking for a good opening.
Kooper gets smacked with Seriph's guitar and the strings vibrate "Pathetic." He soon starts basking in hatred and corrupt energy, his pupils shorten, and goes berserk on Kooper grabbing him by the legs and smacking Dry Bones out the way.
The Void Shadows summoned from before jump in to help and all seem to be kicking the two Koopa's. Two aura spheres suddenly came their way and wiped out many of the Void Shadows.
"You're starting to annoy me now! I want to run our match back" Lucy picks Kooper up from the ground.
"You guys came back!?" Kooper looked up.
"I lead this team, so everything is on me if we fail" Aurafu heals Kooper "You two kids have to get back" he puts his arm in front of Kooper. "This guy is more strong than any of us though and I don't want you to be back in the hospital again, Kooper."
"You believed in me, you have to let me fight with you! Were a rescue team, we're all in this together"
Kresin silently nodded. "A bond between friends is the most powerful thing in the world."
"My friends are my power cliche" Lucy sarcastically remarks and turns around with her arms crossed.
"But we see you as a friend, Lucy," said Kooper.
"I pointed a gun at you when we first met and then you wanted me to shoot you because Kresin did not say you were his little guy."
"I learned quite a bit since then. I learned to not take your friends for granted because they care and love you as a friend. I could get you fired from your job, but we landed in Celetris out of nowhere so I can understand a little bit about why you did it. You're just as much of a friend to me as Aurafu or Kresin." he said to Lucy.
"You mean that?" Lucy turned around.
"Lucy."
"We all have to put our differences aside to save Celetris. Who's with me?" Kooper puts his hand out.
Aurafu shook Kooper's hand "Here is the plan. I'll attack him head-on, you Kooper will be right behind me helping me out, Lucy will play a keep-away game, and Dry Bones and Kresin can distract that Wolf."
While they were making their plan, Seriph walks over to a tree, while the Voids and Rena get in the way of the team to buy himself some time to use the tree as an energy beacon.
"My specialty." Kresin palmed his fist. "he noticed them, and carefully eyed them. "We got company."
"Enough delay. Now it's our time to shine" Aurafu runs up to the Void Shadows with determination.
Kooper used Dizzy Shell to stun many of the shadows, Kresin grinned and quickly made several copies of himself. Then he ran at a few of the shadows. Seriph goes for the energy beacon that was the main source of the forest, by going on top of the tree of life he could use it to corrupt the people at its radios then makes a run for it as more Void Shadows raised from the ground and made a barrier in front of them.
"Dammit!" Aurafu punched the barrier "These cowards always make these barriers. How are we gonna get past these?"
"L-Leave them to me!" a shaky voice sang out, as Volstro caught up and drew his blades. "Umm... t-there's gotta be a way around them... right?"
Lucy and Aurafu punched the barrier while the two Koopa's drilled into it with their shells, Volstro began slashing and slashing, while Kresin tried to get around it.
"That's it! We will have to take the good with the bad, so we're blowing this up" Dry Bones pulled out Bomb-omb
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Aurafu yelled, panicking.
"Ack!" The small Helioptile shouted.
The Bomb-omb blew up in Dry Bones mouth and the barrier shattered when he blew up next to it. Everyone nervously peeked out from the pile. Seriph goes up to the tree and starts to summon dark matter into Celetris. The weather changes and dark clouds seem to fill in the area.
Volstro growled. "We've got to stop this; it's getting worse. Toss me!" He demanded.
"Ask and you shall receive" Aurafu grabbed and threw him up the tree.
Volstro grabbed a branch as far up as he could and started to pull himself up. Aurafu then throws Kooper, Lucy, and Kresin up to the tree so they can help Volstro up, Aurafu catches up with them climbing to the top of the tree and with Dry Bones.
Kresin grinned. "Let's get things going!"
"We're not going into that portal, right?" Dry Bones asked with smoke coming out his mouth.
"I hope we don't have to," Kresin replied.
Suddenly, an explosion blasts the team down which has gotten them down all into 1 hp. Seriph walks up to them feeling confident. "Seems intriguing that y'all still have the will to even fight but if I were, to be honest, what's the point?"
Kresin spat a bit but grinned upwards. "We still have a few tricks up our sleeves. If we did, we wouldn't still be here." Kresin soon disappeared. Several copies of himself showed up afterward.
Everyone charged towards Seriph. He just stood still with his eyes closed snapping his fingers. Rena came up the tree and used Flamethrower to blast away all of Kresin's copies, as she created another barrier blocking them.
"I'll make sure that none of you will ever get to show those tricks EVER AGAIN!" Seriph walks up to the barrier with intense anger, smashing down the barrier, and is about to finish them off with them on their last legs.
"PLEASE! SOMEBODY ELSE SAVE US! Latias!? Noiwave!?" Lucy gets smacked and knocked out by Seriph.
"Perish the thought. You dorks you think someone else will save yall now-" Seriph gets cut off as he hears two Pokémon cries deep in the forest. "No! Not like this!"
"Is that who we think it is" Kooper's eyes lighten up with life.
"Is that the light?" Aurafu opens his eyes a little "Is that you Arceus? Please take me home with you this time!" He opens his arms out.
A large light envelopes the group and blinds Seriph and Rena for a moment until they open their eyes to see that the sextet is gone.
"It's madness! It's madness! Where did they go!?" Rena looks around the tree and under a small rock. "No, not there either!?"
"That's no matter. If they're in another universe or dimension, that gives us more time to take over this land they call home." Seriph summons more Void Shadows and calls them all to him. "Bring mass destruction to this world, my children. Make sure all the Pokémon here lose all hope and most importantly, make sure those dorks do not step foot in this world and If they do, they die. If none of you won't, then I end their game to make sure they don't have any continues after I end them." Seriph clenches his fist and grinds his fangs.
To be continued.

Aurafu comes out of a portal, making a safe landing on the ground. “Phew, that was close-“ Everyone falls atop of him. “One…”
Everyone looks up to see two huge Pokémon before they all fainted from the fall, except Dry Bones as he puts himself back together.
“...Haha! They have a cute frown when they’re knocked out.” Dry Bones points and laughs at them.
“One day you won’t be so lucky, bone boy.” The two Pokémon reveal themselves.
"You're crazy. Now stop trying to make a scene and get your asses over here-" Dry Bones jaw falls to the floor. "No way! it's the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl mascots!”
"...Yeah… It is us, the creators of time and space." Dialga walks up and looks down at Dry Bones.
"Kooper is a big fan of you two, that's his dark secret," He says as he takes something out of Kooper's shell. "This is the pre-order receipt for that generation 4 remake."
"Did he get Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl?" Palkia pokes his head out.
"Silence Palkia, this is no time for such foolish questions."
"It was Shining Pearl."
"WHAT!?" Dialga freaked out.
"Aww, this kid knows that space is cooler than time." Palkia blushes deeply.
The small reptile woke up slowly. Upon seeing the two legends, he started freaking out.
"You guys were supposed to faint!"
"My children, there are many Pokemon backs at your home fainting as we speak." Palkia shows the two an orb that shows them the destruction of Celetris at that moment.
"It does not look that bad; at least I and Volstro's girlfriend are not in danger-" Dry Bones pauses for a moment as he sees Latias and Glacie in danger. "And I stand corrected. What do you think, Volstro?"
"G-G-Glacie..." He attempts to leap at it. "I've got to save her! Let me through!"
"All of you are not strong enough just yet to face all those Void Shadows, I fear,"
Volstro growled. "You abandoned us, and now you steal us from our homes, and refuse to let us save those who are dear to us!?"
"We saved you all from almost being killed by that wolf."
He shrank back, admitting that much. "But you still won't let us even rescue those dear to us..."
"We saved you all so we could heal and prepare you to take on those Void Shadows. But if you don't want it, your game ends here." Dialga threatened.
"...Man, you guys are assholes." He said nothing more and just wandered away for a bit.
"Volstro, you said assholes! Our little guy is growing up," Dry Bones says in surprise and delight. "But you two must be hiding something you don't wanna tell us. Don't make me pull out the history book again!"
"You would never!" Palkia gasped.
"Ok then. Yo Volstro, do you know why these two left Celetris?" Dry Bones turns his head 180 degrees to ask him.
"According to legend, it was because a precious jewel was stolen many centuries ago." Volstro paused. "Seems like a petty reason to abandon a land. As a result, all of time and space has gone out of whack. While the integrity of the continent has remained, many dungeons have popped up, and with alarming frequency. Our best experts predict Autumn Village's library is most at risk. In addition, many complaints of Pokemon randomly disappearing have reached our ears, and the said Pokemon often appears weeks later recalling their conversation with a civilian several weeks ago as their most recent memory." The small Helioptile glared up at the Guardian’s. "So. Petty."
"Ugh... what happened...?" Kresin wakes up, holding his head.
Lucy and Aurafu looked into their minds right when they woke up to see their surroundings with their aura and they step back in a disturbance.
"Seems like there is more to them that no one else knows.” Aurafu held Lucy by her shoulders, glaring at the Guardians. “I and Lucario know what you did!"
"I thought we would never see them again!" Kooper gets up and points at the Guardians. "Why are they sweating so much now?"
"You see umm... gotta go, BYE!" Dialga and Palkia flee from the scene.
"We should have just gone for the kill. You seem pretty shaken up over there Kooper, you okay?" Aurafu tries to set his paw on Kooper's shoulder but gets burned when touching him. "Oh no... they did not just make our precious boy mad. We should have just gone for the kill. You seem pretty shaken up over there Kooper, you alright?" Aurafu tries to set his paw on Kooper's shoulder but gets burned when touching him. "Oh no... they did not just make our precious boy mad. Kresin! Do you have any tools that could help us fend off these shadows?"
"I've got illusions. No idea how effective they'd be, but I might be able to draw them away."
"All I have is this rinky-dink knife and the officers back at the Autumn Village that are probably getting their asses handed to them right now. Leave it to these floundering adults and children to save the world, am I right?" Lucy says sarcastically. “Speaking of kids, where the hell did Kooper go? He was just here a second ago."
"Umm... guys," Dry Bones pointed behind them.
During their planning, Kooper found two giant statues of Palkia and Dialga, he grabbed one of them and smashed the other one into pieces.
After that, Kooper walked back to them all calmly. "Alright guys, let's go be heroes." He walks past them.
"The things I am seeing in his mind right now are scaring me about his health. Kresin you might want to make some illusions to keep an eye out for Kooper... this aura is too much power for me to handle.” Aurafu quivers.
"That's dark... Alright, I gotcha covered." Kresin patted Aurafu on the back.
The group runs down the temple to a dark room where the two dragons were hiding.
"Get your asses over here! We know you're in the dark." Lucy Barks at the shadows like a dog.
"No thank you." Dialga slaps Palkia in the neck "Oww! you did not have to abuse me there. I’ll tell Arceus."
"Please do. I'd love to have a word with him. Ask him what? Why are you two being complete dicks?" Volstro gets unusually angry.
Dry Bones cackles quietly. "It's funny you say that because Palkia's head is shaped like a di-"
"If you gonna make a joke about the shape of my head, AT LEAST BE ORIGINAL!" The space dragon yells at them all. "You want to know why!?"
"Don't say it, you fool!" Dialga yells.
"Space is superior to time, so how about stop telling me what to DO!" Palkia smacks Dialga into a portal they created to escape. “The real reason why we are like this is because of a long story, so back up!"
Everyone else backs as Palkia comes out of the shadows of the room and takes a deep breath.
"That Seriph character is a glitchy individual that manipulates its environment to travel. But can only be used at certain moments, which is only at night. One day he ended up in a world where humans and Pokemon live together and he stole a Pokemon from a lab, which happened to be a Fennekin that he trained and evolved to a Delphox. Meanwhile, I and Dialga were dealing with Giratina who was getting power-hungry. Seriph and her buddy Delphox were planning to stop them from fighting but in this very temple we’re in right now, I used Special Rend, Dialga used Roar of time, and Giratina used Shadow force and all our moves clash together causing them to have a glitchy effect before it turned into a dark tornado that sucked Seriph and the Delphox into it."
"This was all a different timeline to keep in mind. At this point, Rena ended up in a place called Pokemon Square and she met Kooper for the first time after he lost his memory from a personality quiz." Said Palkia.
"What!? You're saying there is another timeline where we all met already!?" Kooper asked.
"Mhm, however you only encountered Noiwave and Aurafu, later on, Rena got corrupted and she ended up evolving that very same Urshifu that is leading you all right now." Palkia clarified.
"...So you're saying that this is all hopeless because of timelines?" Vostro tilts his head.
"Not completely. Many different things happened in that timeline including more about Rena's backstory none of you knew of, A Lucario hybrid falling in love with Aurafu and changing his gender so they could be together. But then... something horrible happened that we feared would happen in this current timeline. Seriph... killed Aurafu Noiwave and Kooper in that timeline as he sent Rena in this current one to do the same."
“Dialga quickly went into this timeline and put Kooper into a Personality quiz and I was there to answer all the questions before I sent him to the Pokémon world to meet all of you. Does that make any sense?”
"...So let me get this straight. All this happened because you guys were attacking Giratina, instead of dealing with a dimension-hopping menace!?"
"So you guys are saying that I out of all people was the chosen one to save this timeline from total pandemonium?"
"Pretty much."
"You know what, I did not sign up for this, it is all too much responsibility for my age." Kooper collapses to the ground, with x’s in his eyes.
"Well, they broke him. Can we cremate him now?" Dry Bones asked.
"But why did you put all this on Kooper though?" The aura Urshifu shrugs.
"Maybe you were not destined to save this timeline because you turned into a woman at the last minute in the previous timeline," Lucy says as she picks up Kooper. "You and Dialga better do a lot more than just that to pay for these damages. You handed the fate of Celetris to a kid from another universe that's not even a Pokemon!"
"Based Lucy, holy shit! I get behind Lucy for sure. I might even cheat on Latias for you." Dry Bones laughs his ass off before Lucy punches his head off his body. "Well fine, I’ll just go give Latias a little of my head instead." His body picks his head up from the ground.
"...Ok, you guys can go home now." Palkia opens a portal back to Celetris. "I’ll come along because there are just too many shadows out there now."
The Helioptile rushed towards the portal but skidded to a stop in front of it.
Everyone gets back to Celetris and on top of Astral Mountain to see the Void Shadows taking over as the sun starts to set.
"Oh no! it looks worse than I thought it would be! they're everywhere!"
"To be fair the controller of space itself can probably kill them all in a matter of minutes."
Someone taps Dry Bones from behind "Oh, hey Noiwave... wait! You are impostor Noiwave!"
A Void Shadow who looked like a Noivern ripped Dry Bones' arm off with its maw and chewed down on it with no reaction from the Dead Koopa.
Volstro shuddered. "Umm... Our first goal should be to find our missing friends...."
"You don't have to think about that." Noiwave steps to the side to show that she has Latias and Glacie.
Volstro runs over to the Glaceon, crying like a baby.
"My bone boy!" Latias grabs Dry Bones and spins him around in the air.
"Noiwave did you find them?" Aurafu asked her, impressed by her.
"Well Rena had them locked up inside Cave of the cosmos and I managed to free them so they could escape." Noiwave replies."The bank is being robbed, The Badlands is a war zone, Summer fall is looking a lot more like Autumn Fall. This world used to not look as bad as it did before. All the Pokemon and Void Shadows are going to war down there as we speak and it's not pretty, but I did not need to tell you that part."
"All of you must head inside the mountain then as I go down the Badlands." Palkia directed them.
“I and Latias will go down there and you guys just go into the Cave of the Cosmos to confront the final boss I created." Palkia trembles in his words.
"That sounds like an old friend. Now, where can we get to the Cave of the cosmos?" Aurafu asked.
"We'll have to scale halfway up--" The Zoroark grabs Volstro as the lizard attempts to leave "--and then follow the path to the mountain opening."
"Well, all you go have fun with that. I have to head to the Badlands with the rest of the police squad to go fight these damn shadows, that Garchomp that owns that land it seems will not be pleased."
"As much as I want to be part of the big fight, I'd only get in the way." Glacie licked Volstro's head. "Come back to me safe, Volstro."
"To be fair, there is a good chance this Garchomp is more dead than me now, so I'll go claim it to be my own."
"Kalvin!" Latias yells at her dead boyfriend. "I-I mean Dry Bones, you should go help your friends in that cave. I heard it's really hot at the top and I know you can stand that heat."
He glares back at his girlfriend
"Lati, I would not call them friends. More like meat bags I can milk laughs out of no matter the situation."
"Yeah, let's find out who will be the one to get cremated in the Cave Of Cosmos!" Kooper grabs and drags Dry Bones by the back as he walks up to the Cave in question.
The small group makes it in front of the cave, standing there for a moment to prepare. Thunder could be heard as the sky went tainted purple with black, it surrounded the area of the cave of cosmos, purple static seemed to be sparking the ground and suddenly voids started forming one by one, only those that perished around the area rose.
Meanwhile, in the cave, when a group of fire types saw Rena take everything that belongs to them, they instantly try to attack Rena, but Rena seems to be playing around with them because of amusement, she knows the fire types are weak and it would be boring if she defeated them without her enjoyment first
“Aww by any chance does any of y’all have rings or necklaces made out of gold and silver~? Hmmm?” She was talking to the mons that tried to deafen their territory; they seemed to tremble as they shook their heads to Rena. “How saddening.”
She grabs one of them by the neck and holds them from the neck, forcing the Pokémon to look down if they didn’t give me what she wanted the most. Rena got impatient and she threw them out, she grabbed another and did the same process with the mons that were scared of her.
“This is getting annoying y’all either give me the key to open that damn door for the 100th floor and the platinum silvery or y’all decide to choose death!”
The small team down the Cave Of The Cosmos then start their journey up the Cave Of The Cosmos, taking out every Void Shadow they came across to level up, collecting items, and helping Pokémon living in the cave escape. They did this until they got to floor number 90. They see that Rena’s appearance had changed once more to a Delphox with black fur.
“Don’t you see I’m busy with something? I would like to see ya try before I drag ya out, better be like the other mons running out of this cave before you become part of the dead ones.
“Rena, I don't understand why you are like this again, and how did you become this fusion too?" Aurafu tries to ask and reason with her.
“Because Palkia and Dialga gave me this power, now I’m using it against their own will. let alone just hearing their name sickens me, that’s why I’m trying to take over the temples when I get the chance to open the doors, the power that lies behind it. Also, I manage to change forms once I manage to get as much power of dark matter let alone I have a Zoroark’s powers to manipulate and transform into any given thing. Does that answer ya reason why I can change without y’all even noticing me or even catching up to me?”
"No, not really," Kooper replies bluntly.
“Why do you expect I’m here, to begin with, y’all only fell right into the trap. Y’all made it this far there’s no way y’all getting out alive once this cave goes down.
"Then we won't let you destroy this cave. The mountain will fall with it, and that would destroy Astral Village and... and... umm... that means..."
Rena starts laughing “You don’t get it, the explosives are on the first floor the thing that makes this whole cave sustain itself, took ya like what 2 hours to get here I doubt y’all make it out in time.
"Not today!" Aurafu had enough and attacked her directly.
She holds her guard against the aura bear, Volstro draws his blades and tries to slide underneath while Noiwave grabs both Kooper and Dry Bones by their shells and throws them towards Rena.
“Why even keep fighting for this wack world that y’all call home? it’s been long gone.`` She dodges and does some matrix movement at some point and she is only fighting to buy Seriph time.
"We never wanted to do this, you made us do this!" Kooper punches her in the nose "Kresin now it's your chance!"
The Zoroark grins and soon disappears. Noiwave grabs Rena with her claws and bites Rena to death.
She winced and bonked Noiwave with a stick. “GET OFF ME YOU BAT!”
"Not a day in my life. Now Kresin!" She demanded with blood dripping out her mouth.
The fox reappeared, but there was more than one. Every Kresin went in for a series of attacks, striking fast and unpredictably. Rena held onto Noiwave like a body shield and body-slamming her, before realizing the multitude of attacks that came from another Zoroark.
"Now it's your chance to, Vostro! You got this!" Aurafu says to him as he gets ready to use an attack.
Rena grabs Kresin by the hair and pulls him into a trap. “Childs play~ you were to focus on trying to lower me that you forgot to even take care of your guard.” She thrashes the Zoroark and ties them up with their hair and throws it to Aurafu.
"HIYAA!" The small Helioptile leaped at her, swords brandished. His aim struck true.
Rena grabs the small dork by the neck and stares into it “Aww, I always wanted a pet.” She cuts herself by accident with the swords. “Oww, since when does a lizard have swords? No matter.” She throws him at Kresin.
Aurafu grabbed her by the neck and held her above a hole that went down back to the start of the dungeon.
Rena growls and looks deeply into Aurafu, she is holding herself as she was using the last of her energy to defend herself. “Why even struggle and fight towards y’all future? The ones that brought us here to even begin with, I see no point in it, y’all are only doing so to give Palkia and Dialga more power.” She tries wiggling out of Aurafu’s grasp.
Soon another figure appears in the room, seems to be a wolf with a leather jacket with black pants and chains, brass knuckles, and knives?
The Noivern female hugs Aurafu from behind “I have been waiting so long for someone to do that. I love you for that.”
“Noiwave this is not the time now!”
“So what brings you here today ?~ perhaps y’all are here to give out hugs?” The Wolf lifts Kresin like he was a plush.
“Hey! If you don’t let Kresin down you will be going down that hole too!”
“Why so aggressive? You wouldn’t mind me giving it some hugs?” The wolf covers Kresin's maw. “First impression doesn’t go well as plan, don’t they?~
“Let go of Him, take me instead if we have to do this!” Aurafu knocks Kresin out of the wolf’s hands, and he orders the rest to go run past him and further up the dungeon.
The wolf spins his blades and chuckles while smirking at the bear. “I smell the fear of a bear that’s gonna be shredded into pieces~ Seems like you already had a good first impression when you met Rena, wasn’t that the case? Hmm? The fact that she turned you into this was let alone a trap. We have you at the same spot and where I wanted you to be because guess what, you're the source of the beacon. You have two options, despair or hope. One of these options will lead to the faith of this universe. By the looks of it this is the original timeline, every event seems to have led to the dying hopes of this world, and if so, can you tell me the reason why Rena mentions that she met Kooper, to begin with?”
“That was in a different timeline where me, Aurafu, and Noiwave were killed,” Kooper replies.
“Do you ever question it y’all have the same faith as y’all alternative selves?” Seriph snaps his fingers. “Oh, but there’s more which connects~ Palkia and Dialga die at the very end because they seem to have been sacrificed into the dark matter energy source, seems to me like they were the cause of the perishing of thousands of innocent mons.
“Palkia told us they came from that timeline and into this one though.”
Seriph pulsates red outlines “They’re here because they are hopeless~ they thought they could fix it last minute by coming to this one and putting everything in place, it seems like their desperation got in the way which led them to their death. Y’all have been his servants this entire time, what they couldn’t fix was that y’all were ones to do their dirty work.
"Yeah, like that's news to me..." Volstro looks away, fed up with doing all this dirty work.
"Little guy's right," Kresin shrugged. "Seems like we're always cleaning up one of their messes or other."
“But why help the guardians of time and space, let alone the same guardians that were supposed to protect you aren’t here to save y’all? Because all hope was lost y’all start to notice who was behind it all, your new lord Giratina.”
Suddenly, Void Shadows rise from the ground but this time they seem like brutes.
“But all I need is the bear for this operation. I already have Palkia and Dialga on my side and all I need is the finishing touch with Aurafu, that’s the reason Rena gave him that power, to begin with. It was to corrupt this world because his heart is pure, it can be used to manipulate others in this world especially those that still have hope to change into despair. You are nothing but something to toy this entire time, Aurafu. I didn’t have to do the work to succeed, you let your faith play it out.”
“Dammit! What does this all mean?” Aurafu asked frustrated.
“You're the beacon, Aurafu.” Seriph smirks “Your the one to be sacrificed for this summoning.” He chuckles as the smite of his fangs shows and he plays with a chess piece, which was the king that he knocks over and the piece seems to have a message, [checkmate.]
Aurafu takes a deep breath and turns around to look at his team “All of you get out of here. You five have so much to live for, Celetris needs you all. And... I want to thank you all for everything.”
"But you still need us as well. "If we don't do anything here, there isn't going to be a Celestris for us!"
"Little guy, this isn't the time..." Kresin frowns, and reluctantly picks up the lizard to try and leaves.
“It was nice knowing you.” Noiwave takes Kooper by her hand and walks off, as Kooper looks back at Aurafu, looking defeated.
Seriph starts to spin his blade faster to cut the bear before striking the bear down and cutting off his headband, which makes him lose his aura.
Kooper, Kresin, Noiwave, and Dry Bones all left the Cave of Cosmos and when they went outside they saw all the Pokémon that were living there injured and needed medical care. The five all sit in the waiting room patiently, yet uneasy as they watch the war that's happening between the Pokémon and Void Shadows in the Badlands.
"How did we make it get this bad!? We could have prevented this!"
"Maybe if you were not around."
"And what are you trying to do to help us?" Kooper clenches his fist and does not turn around to look at Dry Bones.
"You think I'm doing this for you guys? I'm only doing this so Latias can be happy, that's why I made this necklace for her." He shows them all the necklaces in question with a mega stone on them.
"Wait.... you're saying that you got a mega stone for her, and did not give it to her when she would have needed it most?" Noiwave twitches her ear.
"I don't even need to answer that question, you already know that answer, batty."
"Where is Kresin and Volstro? Are they still helping some wounded Pokémon that are running back from the Badlands?" Noiwave asked.
"Right! At least, I am," he says, poking in for a moment. "Volstro's a little more determined to be in the fight, at Glacie's side. He seems... obsessed."
"Obsessed? With war? And I thought Glacie did not want to fight." Kooper turns around.
"Oh, she's not. Glacie's a healer." Kresin responded.
"True love is a greater weapon in war, something you would not know Kooper because no one likes you. Not even your Mom loves you, because she knew the mistake she gave birth to, and that's why you're here now trying to find a lover and or friend."
"Hey, lay off on the little guy, alright? I know you don't like him, but you don't need to be so rude about it."
"Why? He did not even try to make any friends, and now the leader of your guy's team is possibly dead and you guys did nothing."
"Implying you did anymore, Bones?"
"Like I wanted to do anything? He is a waste of height!" He yells to Kresin while pointing at Kooper.
"You can leave now, Dry Bones."
"Why? I'll still be standing when your game is over."
"No seriously, you need to go."
"Whatever, gonna go help out my girlfriend too." Dry Bones shrugs and walks out.
"You alright, Kooper?"
Kooper does not reply to her and just walks out of the room and hospital. Noiwave and Kresin follow him to try to head to the Badlands.
"Oh crap, we have to move Kresin!"
"Right. There's more wounded to bring in!"
"I was talking about Kooper, but there are more important things at hand."
"OH! I see how it is!" Kooper snaps and points at her dead into her eyes towards home.
"Kooper comes back, I did not- dammit!" She forgets about him for the time being to focus on heading to the Badlands as she flies Kresin down the mountain.
Two other Pokemon were down the mountain and saw the two flying down.
"Ah! People!" A Typhlosion rushes toward them
Noiwave gets spooked by them and falls to the ground, but breaks Kresin’s fall in the process. The Typhosion’s friend can't help but laugh.
"Woah! Are you guys alright?!" The Typlosion tries to get the two up "You guys got the call about the shadow things too, right?"
"I'm Ticklet-This is Clyde!-...We're from another world, not that it matters much in Celestris haha..." The Typlhosoin’s friend was a Joltik hanging on his shoulder "It's like most of the people we meet are from the same world!"
"Yeah, I've uh... been looking into that stuff. But right now, I need to find my little guy. Seen a Helioptile with swords? Possibly accompanying a Glaceon?" Kresin asked the two.
"Hmmm...HMMMMMMMM...hmmmmmmmmmm...-I remember someone mentioning a Helioptile once, but we've never got the chance to meet him before! Last time we've heard about him...Ah! Right! That was at the shifty serpent at Autumn village! ... Mean he should be around that part! Or maybe not, we don't know where he could be!"
Kresin frowns quite visibly. "The only other spot would be in the middle of the desert, in battle..."
Right then and there, the ground began to shake and everyone around Celetris froze for a second before turning around to see that Astral Mountain was coming down. Kresin, Clyde, and Ticklet run down to the Badlands.
A Noivern was seen flying to a cliff. She was tired, hungry and exhausted, and desperately needed a break from flying. Bags the size of cannonballs were developing under her eyes, and her wings felt like they were about to fall off. Her stomach felt like it was eating her from the inside, and she was mere moments from passing out. She had no possessions to her name, asides from a pair of military-grade goggles she looted from a soldier she killed for his meal. They were worn and in a state of disrepair.
Noiwave rushes back to the top of Astral village/Mountain to see that it was destroyed, with magma from the Cave Of The Cosmos all over the area. Noiwave was truly grieving, crying, and screaming Kooper's name as he and Aurafu were not were to be found.
In a dizzy state, she turns to Noiwave "Ugh... f*k me..." she mutters "H-hey... quit screaming, it's hurting my fucking head."
"Wha-" Noiwave turns around and sees her little sister. "S-Silver?"
"How the fuck do you know my name- wait…Noiwave?”
She sniffles "What do you mean? You don't even know that it's your sister?"
"I’m hungry, I’m tired, I feel like my f*cking wings are about to fall off.. yeah. My mind isn’t doing great right now. Good to see you. Have any Rum?"
“Do you not see the amount of terrorism in front of our eyes?” She points to the fallen mountain “I lost everything, even though I never had much, to begin with. Why did I ever leave the nest? Seriously, I'm in my mid twenty's and I have gone nowhere with my life. No amount of drunken rants can't ever make me feel better ever again.” She holds Silver close to her.
Silver’s eyes drift closed, and she finally takes a well-deserved rest. She falls asleep and snores quite loudly.
Two months passed and the war with the Pokémon and Void Shadows abruptly stopped, due to a huge beam in the sky obliterating every single Void Shadow. No one did not know who did it, but everyone else had to worry about putting out the lava and later forest fire that came from the attacks on Astral Mountain. Noiwave and her sister were trying to find Aurafu and Kooper as Noiwave plastered missing posters of both of them all over Celetris.
After those months, Silver had gotten a lot better. She finally has food available to her, she ditched those ugly goggles in exchange for newer, better ones, and had gotten some sleep. She is now healthy. She flies overhead and lands at her new home with Noiwave after a trip searching for Kooper.
"...." Noiwave was sitting around in her new home drinking her sorrows away.
SIlver sighs "No luck. I even checked the east side and the west side.." She joins Noiwave and pours herself a shot. She chugs it back with ease.
Someone then knocks on their door.
"Sis, can you get that? I-I am too smashed at the moment." Noiwave burps and faceplants to the table.
"Alright," she goes and opens the door to a Scorbunny.
"Heya! It’s me Flame! You guys are looking for an Urshifu and a...Koopa, right? The Last time I checked, I recall seeing an Urshifu walking around Autumn village, and I swear I spotted a weird orange Squirtle wandering about too!" Said Flame.
"Noiwave!"
"That's my name." She had her face down on the table nearly blacked out.
Silver was practically tripping over her words "F-Flame saw him! He saw Kooper!"
"Maybe it was not him at all, you see." Dry Bones comes out from behind Flame"Listen, while I and my heart sweet Latias were raising money for all the victims that lost their home up in the mountains, she was begging me to ask Palkia or Dialga about his whereabouts, I don't like those meat-bags much, but we can all go talk to Palkia so you guys will stop crying over that... that... orange slice. Latias told me that they are in their temple, and Palkia will just make a portal for us to get there.”
"Hm...Really? I guess If Latias is here...Then it means we've got a chance to find them!" The Scorbunny said.
"I'm just stalling, Palkia is right here!" Dry Bones steps asides to present Pakia as they poke their head into the door
"Let's get back to the temple in a jiffy, ever since the war happened everyone in Celetris has been hostile at me and Dialga for abandoning it." Palkia opens a portal back to their temple.
Loading temple.
"We've kept Kooper here right when the war broke out. When I was flying around Celetris to the damage when the mountains went down, I found Kooper's body in some rubble and on the verge of death. So I went back to his and Dry Bones homeworld to talk with the Star Spirits and they advised me that he is one of the only people that can stop these Void Shadows once and for all, so what they did is heal his wounds and give him something that would help him."
Palkia shows them some sort of magic wand "This is the Star Rod, it is a magical rod meant to make all wishes come true. However this is not the real Star Rod, so it can't grant wishes, however, its main purpose is to be used as a melee weapon to slay the Dark Matter creating these Void Shadows and to enhance Kooper's moves which can be devastating. However no matter what I or Dialga have done we can't seem to get him back on his feet, he has been sitting in a dark room alone this whole time and has only stepped out to wash up or take any food we've offered him.
"Guess you can say he is a shell of his former self, eh?" Dry Bones winks.
"Why must you be like this? Don't open your mouth." Palkia demands. "You guys are the only one that he might talk to at this point. His room is down the hall, but approach him with caution.
"Alright.." Silver mutters, glaring at Dry Bones before following everyone else.
When they opened the door to his room, Kooper slowly turned around and gave them a creepy smile with writing on the wall that said, "I hate Team Universal".
"Kooper? Are you-" Silver reads the writing on the wall.
."Act as you forgot?" He manically laughs at them all.
"I-" Silver steps back, eyes wide, scanning for any weapons he may have.
"Oh crap, he was not kidding when he said approach him with cation." Dry Bones said, caught off guard yet amused.
"Funny seeing you here again, you... you." Kooper can’t finish his sentence.
"Speak, you damn fool." Dry Bones orders him.
"HAAHAHHAHA! You think you're the man with the plans around here, are you Kalvin?" Kooper taunts him
Gasp "Call me that name again and your nose will be bleeding in a minute!" Dry Bones walked right up to Kooper's face.
"Looks like you made a horn on your nose, I'm gonna call you the rhino skeleton turtle Pokemon, and I'm gonna laugh, hahaha! Your girlfriend told me all about you, Kalvin.”
Dry Bones grabs Kooper by his scarf "Do you think I'm playing right now? Do you think bringing up my past is funny!? If you want to join the afterlife like me right now, THEN GO AHEAD!"
"Was it something about you working in Bowser's army and some comrades that you considered family, but when they left his army they said they had enough family, and then you cried like a baby, fell into a lava pit, and have been hiding your afterlife identify your whole time?" Kooper gets punched in the face by Dry Bones.
"Will the both of you just SHUT UP!" Noiwave snaps and grabs both Koopas.
"Who are you?" Kooper got out of her grasp and looked away from her.
"Shut up, Kooper you're insane."
"And what makes you any better? You're a drunken mess, you have a beer belly and when did you ever care?"
"How about those times where we hung out together and you showed me and Aurafu technology?" Noiwave sobers up and tries to get Kooper to remember their time together.
"Aurafu.." A name Silver hasn't heard in a long time. It came back to her like a boomerang.
Palkia walks into the room with a deep sigh. "We looked all over for Aurafu and there was no trace of him anywhere."
"Don't bring up his name!" Kooper gets triggered hearing his best friend's name “All of you are the worst thing that's ever happened to me, and thanks for ruining my childhood too, Palkia!”
"H-hey" Noiwave tries to hug him, but Kooper smacks her wing and steps back.
"I...Don't know what is happening-But c'mon you guys are friends right?!" Flame goes to Noiwave and check her wing.
"And that's why no one likes you. Dry Bones turns away from Kooper and crosses his arms.
"Silver, come here real quick I need to give you something. Excuse me for this all happening, it is my and Dialga's fault for starting all of this and why Kooper has turned into a kid that lost all hope. I promise to all of you that we will make this right, so please hand him this." Palkia carefully hands the small Noivern Kooper's Star Rod with his rescue team badge hanging on the end of it like a keychain.
"Uh-" She cautiously approaches Palkia and takes the Star Rod. “Kooper." She hands him the rod as he turned around and looked into her eyes, horrified.
He looks down at the rod for a brief moment before suddenly tackling and hugging Silver. “I take back everything I said beforehand.”
She hugs him back, tears flowing down her face.
Noiwave hugs them both. "I'm sorry that I was not there for you when you needed it most, I did not know how bad it was cause you did not seem like the kid that would hit rock bottom."
"I thought you had actually-" Silver wipes off some tears.
"Well, we are now. We might not know what's going to happen next, but we must find Aurafu and keep fighting this evil! This is for him!"
Everyone else agrees with Noiwave, including Dry Bones which surprised them all.
"Now I'm not sure if Aurafu has been kidnapped by Seriph and Rena to be sacrificed, or he has escaped and is under the radar, but maybe we should head to Kooper and Dry Bones world first, Void Shadows have made their way to the Mushroom Kingdom, so there may be a chance that Aurafu can be there."
Palkia opens a portal to the Mushroom Kingdom and the group hurries into it without hesitation. With all of them back together, it’s up to them to find Aurafu and bring peace back to Celetris.
