Love Train exists, long before Dinosaurs ruled the land. Insisting itself upon the world, you saw that it had already taken the form of a Gaia Memory. But that is only the beginning, life... the great miracle" "even DNA strands take it's form. Artists longed for his existence, no.. all truly long for Love Train. Even Trixie herself, responsible for bringing them into this world." Trixie long thought herself impressionable, but what I saw could not have been illusion." "Who am I?" The voice echoes out into the world. The view is blue, deep under the ocean. "Since the beginning" "My mother, the dog keepers, the changelings, even the Queen. Have searched for it's meaning." "What am I?" The word echoes, fading out quicker then before. "many strange and wondrous legends evolved from the pursuit of life's mysteries." "Where am I?" "but to think he would return, the most powerful curse of all." "I am ready... to be." the camera rises above water, taking a moment to clear it's blurred lens to reveal a snowy continent. Flying further into the continent revealing a castle that had just appeared. there was a ceremony being held, the planet recently wished back after it's destruction at the hands of Giygas But that wish seemed to have brought back something more. "Where...am I?" Ramie asks, waking up in the cave he fought Terullion "Where...am I?" He stares around, hearing the murmuring of voices above him. "Was everything before just a dream?" another voice echoes in his head, "That voice, this is not the same." "Why?" the voice asks the fallen God "Doctor, look at this It's Brain Waves, they're surging!" "Let's go see!" Chatter among the hive as Trixie and the rest are being presented their medals. "Those Voices... They're outside... Where I must be." Ramie's body starts to glow, the skin on his arm begins cracking, revealing a rainbow light inside. "I saw it in flesh and blood Starlight, just by a shadow though." Trixie says "Tell him what's happened!" "QUIET!" "after eight long years, Let us hear!" Flashback to Trixie scavenging back to the area she trapped herself with the Changeling. "Trixie was at once struck by the surprising coincidences between the phenomena ascribed to the “ghost” and the most extraordinary and fantastic tragedy that ever excited the Paris upper classes;" "For years Trixie practiced her magic, but here Trixie stands, the room where she performed the greatest trick of all." "This proves the theories, Trixie just hopes everyone can survive." "That is Love Train, the curse we ended up creating." "Will this be my only legacy, nothing but a shadow to Love Train?" Ramie responds "Don't feel too down on yourself, you did at least help Trixie perform it." "You laugh, this is my end, just a pawn to create the strongest weapon of all time. What do you think will become of me now your little trick is over?" "Trixie's trick isn't over, It's only just begun." "These gods, they care nothing of me." "Love Train, is that just it, part of someone else's story. This cannot be my destiny!"
"Trixie never dreamed of creating the world's strongest curse... But she succeeded." "Behold my powers, I am the strongest being in the world! Stronger even than God!" Momoyo says

"We need to be at our best during this race." Gurumi says "I still haven't got a damn ride." Belltus says. "I'm sure we can find you a horse or something." "Horse..... how lame, you get a T-Rex and I'm stuck with a dainty little horse."

"You have the wrong person, I'm not the owner of this ranch." Inarabitta's emotion was impossible to tell from his exterior. "Would you know where I can get one?" "The owner should be in that shed over there." Okinu points to the location. Inarabitta starts to bounce off, stopping partway with a little turn, "Thanks." then he continues off Okinu gives a soft smile, waving the robot off. "There seem to be a lot of people gathering here, wonder what's got their attention." Luce says Okinu stares to where all the people seem to be gathered.
"Hey, isn't that Tenshi and Shion's girl?" Inarabitta asks Belltus. "Yeah, better keep a close eye on them." a look of concern on Belltus's face. "Shouldn't someone stop that guy before he gets himself killed?" "" "If he could ride it he'll be beyond human."
"You're Rika right?" the seal asks "Yeah.... who're you?" "Richie," The crowd clears off.

Ace reawakens in the cockpit of Kyoryuzin being nursed by Luce. "We won?" Ace asks. "Too early to say yet, though Doflamingo seems to have been dealt with." Inarabitta responds. "You can pilot this thing?" "Of course." Ace catches a glimpse of a girl out the corner of his eye. The hydra coils round the giant moth that in turn, has the hydra trapped in a tornado. sparks fly out as the hydra constricts harder and harder. The wind hits it in the face hard, knocking it nearly unconscious. Still it constricts, forming an ouroboros. Finally the moth strikes the beasts senses, would have followed up but the Hydra was out cold. Rika stands waiting in a brown room with cold, green floor. Thinking about the donut ouroboros. Rika hadn't seen any phantoms in this room, though she knew she'd have to take the final match soon. Richie reaches the room. "" A depiction on the wall, of King Wisp holding out a halo to Giratina.
"There must be more for us then this mad world" Ace says, looking over at the girl. "I'm not the one you should be saying that to." The girl responds The Plug inserts the plug into Ace's heart, his eyes turn navy as the room distorts like it's underwater. Suddenly Ace was watching the confrontation between Gohan and Cell.
Rika ducks to a corner. She holds her hand out, a spinning bullet in her hand. Cold wind blows through the cave "It's cold in here..." Rika says "Sorry about that, the cold follows me wherever I go." Suddenly Ace's consciousness cuts back to the room, a monkey's standing on his chest, screaming. The words bang are tattooed on the Monkey's chest, the scream was disorientating. The monkey's hands looked distorted, fingers bleeding into other fingers. Ace tried to ignore it, suddenly Darth Maul was at his bedside. Ace's vision kept zooming in and out on Darth Maul. Ace thrashes over, turning his head to the wall, the monkey won't stop screaming. Is it even a monkey, it's screams coming in booms like an explosion.
Cell jumps out the way of a blizzard. The ice had tampered his speed Kyoryu Silver manages to cut Cell slightly but is blown away by a counter attack, a force blast from Cell's hand. "KA" Cell begins The attack Richie had thrown took a toll on him. "Gravity!" Kyoryu Silver lets loose a wave of gravity, pulling Cell to the ground. "MEHAMEHA!" Cell fires the attack at Kyoryu Silver. Silver staggers, barely able to stay standing. another burst of conquerors haki is released, taking both Richie and Kyoryu Silver back slightly.
Kyoryuzin and Plezu-Oh face the giant Momoyo, Momoyo standing atop it's head holding Kyoryu Pink The giant Momoyo punches away the mecha. The bombs go off. Magenta Magenta sinks into the ocean, eventually he stopped thinking. "Watch yourself Rika...." Gurumi says fainting in her cockpit.
Marxie arrives to a bridge, seeing Ramiel standing upon a log. "Death is beautiful, isn't it?" trails of stardast pass by Ramiel's head as he asks this. "What's beautiful about this..." "Maybe this'll help you understand." Marxie leaps into the air, kicking against Ramiel's arm that he just put up for protection. The kick easily overpowers Ramiel and he's sent flying into the river. She continues with a straight kick, knocking Ramiel across the forest.
Rika walks out into the stadium, facing off against Gladion. The alarm goes on too long for comfort. She spots a large cloud of smoke in the distance First match Blastoise vs Lucario Blastoise gathers fighting energy and focus, forming it into a glowing red balls orbited by smaller ones like an atom. Blastoise fires the attack, blowing Lucario away. "Remember, the aura is with me" Rika thinks back to the Lucario she knew. Gladion sends out Susumu Yokota - Gekkoh. The air gets heavy, Rika not sure if it's from the gravity or the intensity. Blastoise flings Chaos Orb into the sky, firing it's Focus Blast into it, shattering it into a meteor shower. Gekkoh manages to avoid all the debri. Distracted by the meteors, Gekkoh didn't notice another Focus Blast travelling her way. A circle of water closes into a single point in front of Gekkoh. Gekkoh lets loose a blast of water, the air rippling in front of her, the water appears like a tube of shining wind The water hits Richie, forming into a planetoid exploding like a giant splash. Richie faints. Rika sends out the false prophet. The beast squirms, roaring in rage. Rika tries to comfort the beast. False Prophet releases a tailed best ball composed of toxic sludge.
Battle of Wits is activated though neither side has over 200 Pokemon currently with them so it's a bust.
Luckyulo saves ? with the stray Battle of Wits The monkey is gone, Darth Maul is gone. "Thanks....." Ace says Ace moans in exhaustion, turning over to face the wall.
Love train passes over the GingaLeon, putting the beast to sleep.
Sorrowful Knight Aigaron was riding on the back of a giant being that looked like a late stage dandelion. The tailed beast ball hits the entity, exploding in a cloud of black poison. Aigaron falls off of it, falling into the frozen surface of the maze. "Dammit, the thing got away, guess I have to walk the rest of the way." Aigaron Torin rescues Aigaron from the freezing lake. "We're in the womb of the beast." Torin tells Aigaron. Torin sends a wave of rending air from his blade, cutting the fetuses down from the ceiling. He stabs the seed, cutting it open. "I must resist...." Torin moans, Aigaron coming to his side. "Why did you save me" he asks. "Because.... You must face Inarabitta." Torin says, pulling the blade from the seed. "Now.... I must go." Torin says goodbye as he enters the egg. Aigaron passes his hand through the wall, it was merely an illusion. "Wait, then is none of this real?" he asks himself. "What is real and what is fake is just a matter of perception" Trixie appears saying "" Illusionary walls were all over the maze now, translucent with yellow brick segments breaking them up.
another jet of water sprouts near the giant sunflower.
The breeze knocks out the giant spider. The Spider slips through the wind tunnel, down to the ocean. It's body starts poisoning the water. Luce stabs the corpse of the monster, an army of bugs crawling out of the stab wound. The water started evaporating into steam.
Parsee Mizuhashi takes Luce to a corner of the maze. "Poison, why did you attack the spider?" Parsee asks "It.... it just appeared suddenly, I got startled." "Dammit how am I going to save Okinu now." Luce asks frustrated at herself. "God....." Parsee says suddenly raising her eyes. "I heard her, I heard God!" Parsee yells. "Wait, wait, calm down." Luce responds "" "Could've just been the wind." Luce says. The flames were weakened by the steam "The wind sounds strange today" the sound pierces Luce's mind like a set of daggers. Luce sits up, holding the poisoned area moaning. "Don't exert yourself too much!" Parsee tells Luce.
"I don't know what you hear, but I feel like I just heard the GingaLeon." Luce says in a daze
Blastoise fires another Focus blast, hitting one of the Leviathans The Leviathan convulses, it's body rippling like water
The night is enchanting Luce screams in pain, still clutching the wound. She takes her dagger, driving it into the line she sees on the wound.
"It's gone" Luce Rubis says. "I don't know how but it's gone." "What do you mean?" Parsee asks confused.
Childre Inarabitta sees Aigaron. Inarabitta's ice ears have been traced Inarabitta's ice hammer clashes with Aigaron the floor beneath Aigaron begins twisting around, breaking into a circular pattern, each one rotating in a different direction Iron bursts from the ground, striking Inarabitta, not doing any damage but throwing them back slightly. Inarabitta lands on their feet. The hammer no longer seemed to strike fear in Aigaron. "You seem confident all of a sudden." Inarabitta says. ash blows past the two. "I met Torin." "I'm not afraid anymore." Aigaron had become one with the leviathan. The Leviathan blooms from beneath Aigaron's tin armor, pinning Inarabitta to the ground. Inarabitta finally manages to land a hit. "That did less damage then it should have." Inarabitta talks, half to himself. The figures of Regirock and Mammothranger appear behind Inarabitta, before merging with his body. A quasar bursts from Aigaron like an aura, coating him in a cosmic fire. Aigaron punches Inarabitta, only to hit his reflection in the ice. "I'm not afraid anymore.." He hits another reflection by shooting out a leviathan. another block of ice shatters, a leviathan plowing through it. Aigaron cannot seem to hit Inarabitta. He stays there, attacking blocks of ice endlessly. Inarabitta decides it's not worth it to finish him, walking away as he continues helplessley in the background.
"Merry!" Rika cheerswaking up in the hospital again, Rika seeing the same thing as before. Saturn glances over at Rika before looking back at the woman. on the wall there are charts, a elaborate tile pattern depicting a 2 headed dragon. It's body 2 pieces that wrap around each other, one orange, one blue. the pattern looks like something you'd see at a natatorium, Rika feels her eyes cloud over. "What is that?" Screaming rips through the windows from outside, the woman puts her hand out, stopping Saturn from standing. She heads out to see it herself. Saturn fidgets with his kane for a bit, before standing and running outside as well. Rika asks for a negriton. She takes a seat at the edge of the pool, watching the birds fly about near the edges. La+ takes a seat on the bench behind Rika. they end up watching Saturn, at a table by himself munching down on a long stick of ice. "Good day we're having isn't it." Saturn says nonchalantly
"" Kiwi Elephants fidget their trunks over the straw fence. La+ gets up from the bench, backing up. Rika decides to head inside, going over to the gachapon machine. inserting coins, Rika twists the crank, checking the capsule Another Wailord, she'd already got 3 of these but it can't hurt to keep another. She does wish it would give her a Wailmur instead, since that's the last one she needs to complete her collection. Walking up to the bar counter, Rika asks the lady, named Kinu Himuro, for some orange juice with ice. she jiggles the straw in the juice a bit sitting across from the air hockey machine. Softly sipping the drink, staring out the door next to the gachapon. The drink fills her with a relaxed feeling, a cold sweetness. the dilution holds back the tanginess slightly, not allowing it to overwhelm her. air flows in, gently cooling Rika who had been sweating. Flawless comes in. She stands at one end of the air hockey machine talking to Rika. "Get that thing you were after?" "No..." "Why not bust the thing open at this point, you've already given them plenty of money." Rika heads over to the ice cream freezer, retrieving a negriton from it. "Meh, I don't feel like starting a scene, besides this'll just make it all the more satisfying when I do get it." She goes back to sit at the table. "You like those, don't you." Saturn says between eating ice "Yeah..." Rika hears a large bang outside. An Italian man in red was running down the dirt screaming, with his overalls halfway down his legs. something about a man behind a fence with a creepy face. Looking at the man was like staring so deeply on someone that the details become unnerving. Like the man looked to real The woman with Saturn comes in, asking Flawless if she was up for a game. the puck flies towards the womans goal. Then goes back, though Flawless hadn't seen the womans hand move. "How?" Flawless deflects the puck back at her, bouncing off the wall. Just as it's about to enter the goal, it's sent flying back. the match became so intense that the air started to heat up. the puck goes flying towards the goal, too fast for Flawless to intercept, it lands in the goal. Flawless stumbles over to Rika's table, slumping over it. "Anyone show up at the pool?" Flawless lays her face on the side of the table. "No, not yet anyway, I think I'm early." "I guess so." The Woman is talking to Okinu. "Should've asked the woman about that man when I had the chance." "Oh well, want me to tell her?" Flawless responds "Sure, wait till she's finished talking to the waitress though." "Fine whatever." Flawless sighs
getting up, Rika starts to head outside, she stares at the kiwi elephants at the fence of the pool. They're picking fruits from trees, and rolling around on their trunks. Rika feels the marble she got earlier, it's emanating a strange energy. "Be careful with that girl." Saturn says from within the building. He turns to Rika. "It holds the power to destroy the world." Rika stares back down at the rock. Tenshi arrives, greeting Rika. They head off back to the pool. Ignoring Rika's instructions Flawless goes up to the woman, asking about the screaming man. "Oh, I haven't heard about that, I did hear it too though." "My friend thought you knew something about it" "She didn't give me any further information though." Flawless side eyes the exit. Saturn interrupts "The explosion and the scream Rika heard earlier are unrelated." "Explosion, what the hell are you talking about old man?" Flawless responds "Nothing you need worry yourself with." "Don't talk to me like that asshole, what was that about an explosion, is something happening you're not telling us?" "It's for her own good, and I don't trust that you wouldn't tell her." "I don't give a crap about your trust!" Flawless strides up to Saturn, grabbing him by the collar. "You heard what Rika said, don't make a scene." shadowy flames rise around Flawless "Wanna fight, huh?" Flawless puts on her rider belt, preparing to retrieve her gaia memories but... she looks behind, the woman holding the memories in her hand. "It would be good to avoid needless conflict." "Wha... Give me those!" Flawless rushes back over to the woman. She throws the gaia memories into the air, teleporting them away. "Fine, I don't need them to kick your ass anyway!" Flawless swings her leg in a full arc, cutting through the woman's body. the severing point smokes away into a shadowy mist, slowly reforming the woman's body. Questioning for a sec Flawless goes in for a punch, blowing the side of the woman's face off, again bursting into a shadowy mist. Flawless stares on agitated, the emotion slowly fades to drowsiness as she falls over. Rika stands heading back to the caravan, Rika stares up at the trees, where the Rahkshi had been. Tenshi carries Flawless on her back.
the door opens, Tenshi peeks round the corner. "Come in" Rika hadn't gotten any sleep, as Homer next door was screaming all night. "I swear that baby is just a miniature version of himself, same beard and everything." Rika lays on her front, messing around with the 4 wailords she has on the bed. "A fourth one, that machine really isn't giving you a break." "It's fine...." "Heard got one, weren't you going to trade your graveler with him to evolve it?" "We don't have the means necessary to trade Pokémon." Tenshi takes a seat on the next bed over. "Rika, did you hear anything from Flawless before she fell asleep?" "I dunno, told her not to interrupt that woman's conversation, then I went off with you." "Should of left someone to keep an eye on her" Tenshi lays back on the bed,throwing her legs into the air. "That's Akko's bed." "Stop worrying, I won't fall asleep or anything." "Where are the others anyway?" "At the playground, they say the weird machine's gone now." "Really, that's good." Rika stares off solemnly, not sure if she truly agrees with what she just said. "Don't beat yourself up over it Rika, I'll make sure it's send somewhere safe." "Thanks" Rika stares back at the wailords. she sits one on top of another, their sheer size in reality is fascinating to her. "What am I playing for" Rika thinks. she just can't entertain herself the same way she is when she watches Neos. she turns on her phone, watching back over the videos she recorded long ago. a dark room, slightly lighten by small, decorative lights, like those of a christmas tree. on the table, a horizontal pyramid of jenga bricks lay. suddenly they are blown away, replaced by a large orca. Rika lays, wondering what this could've meant, why did she record this. "What have you got recorded on there anyway?" Tenshi asks Rika, who hands her the phone. "Not much, even though I've filled the whole thing." Tenshi tries to hold back a slight laughter. She watches not quite knowing what to make of the scenes. "So what is all this about?" she asks "I don't really know, I just press record and do whatever." Tenshi watches, not knowing what to say, questioning if she should laugh at certain moments. "You're certainly have a vision, though kind of scattered." "Mind if I keep this for a bit?" Tenshi asks "Sure." Rika responds, Tenshi gets up leaving, she's still staring at the screen. "I should back up the videos I made on that thing." Rika resumes staring down at the Wailords. Rika walks out into the main room, Flawless sprawled out on the sofa watching the TV in a haze slow brass music plays throughout the room, lit only by the TV. The environment threatens to put Rika to sleep, she slacks over on the other side of the couch. On the tv there is a girl with long brown hair in a green dress. there is an overlay showing the phone number to call in. A large boar sits in the corner of the overlay, sometimes walking off screen flames stream from it's back Rika rests her head on the sofa, sitting in a daze. "You feeling alright?" Flawless asks brought back to her senses a bit Rika responds "Me, oh yeah, I'm fine." "I saw Tenshi's got your phone, did you give it to her." "Yeah I let her have it, no space on there to record videos so I don't need it right now." "You filled that thing up before we even prepared to come here, thought you would've left space for recording the drive." "Yeah, I regret that a little, just felt too motivated I guess." fluttering is heard at the door. Tenshi goes over to open it, Pidgeot standing at the door pecking at itself. "Pidgeot?" Tenshi asks "I let her out for some air, just thought it would be nice to keep me company." Rika responds Pidgeot heads into the house, scurrying over to Rika. she sits down on the pile of towels and clothes next to the sofa. Rika takes a drink out of the bottle next to her on the sofa. "Neos said he was gonna be gone for a while." Tenshi. "I saw Pokemon Green was being sold downtown, first time I've ever seen it." Rika says Rika opens the box of Pokemon toys, they were hollow at the bottom, and smelt really nice. Extremely nostalgic that smell would become. staring along the wall, all the pictures she had hung up. posters upon posters of strange things she had found in magazines. The one with the Regi's catches her eye. "I saw they were selling those in the town nearby." Flawless says noticing Rika's attention on the poster. "They do?" "Yeah, but they're given out through those machines, since the one up there's still giving you trouble" "I doubt you'd want to bother yourself with another set." "It can't hurt to try." Rika beams slightly, staring back at the poster. She puts her finger into one of the hollow Pokemon, holding it up to the TV. The Boar at the bottom of the screen takes Rika's mind back to Saint Saturn for some reason. That thing he said about the marble, Rika takes it out. the center of the marble appears like a split line, each split spiralling out into galaxies. One representing the sun and heaven, the other one representing hell. "So did the woman tell you anything about the screaming man?" "Nope nothing, just something about an explosion, then she knocked me out." "By the way Rika, that old man seems to know you, just what the hell is his deal?" "I don't really know myself, I keep waking up in his clinic for some reason." "Wait, but don't you sleep here?" Tenshi's interrupts. "Yeah, but I wake up there." "Tell me, what is this man's name" "Saturn." Tenshi puts the phone down on the side. "But that can't be, Saturn died years ago." "You know this guy too?" Flawless lifts her head back onto the cushion "He was around before you were here, but he was one of the Gorosei responsible for the first war at Isle Delfino." "I remember hearing about that from Goku, the war that killed Stocking." Rika feels something on the tip of her mind. "You should remember that, right Rika?" "I feel like I should remember something, but all the memories I try to dig up are cloudy." "I'll be right back..." Tenshi heads out the door. "Despite how everyone's acting, I feel relaxed strangely" Rika ponders to herself. "I'm pretty pissed off, how that woman was able to catch me off guard I don't know." "The woman's new to me too, unlike Saturn I don't have any vague memories of her." "Bitch stole my gaia memories but when I asked where they were, Tenshi said she was looking for me to give them back." "She thought I forgot them, but no, I remember very well, that woman had them." "I wanna know what they're hiding from us." Rika stares at the TV again The girl is now taking questions, the caller has to guess what the silhouette on the side belongs too. It appears to be large on the bottom with a blocky top, as well as having four tentacles. the silhouette appears like a squid almost. Rika feels like she knows the answer, she wasn't going to bother calling though since she has no phone. Near the bar, Tenshi meets up with Kinu Himuro "It's been a while, Okinu." "Tenshi!" "Have you seen an old man lately?" "Big beard, scar on his face?" "Oh him, he comes here regularly."
Tenshi notices a man outside the door A giant beast tries lunging towards the angel. "Saturn....?" she sees the man holding back the beast. "Down girl!" Saturn scolds the beast. "I thought you died." Tenshi asks "Died, why would you think that, girl?" a low growl comes from the pet. "Calm down Nue..." Saturn pulls at the beasts collar. "I apologize, she get's agitated around curses." "How do you know I..." "How could I not know you? You helped save the world." "I guess that's true" Tenshi straightens herself out." "Anyway I better get going, Nue doesn't like staying out in the sun too long." "Why the sun?" Tenshi unconsciously blurts out. "You see her coat, it's not good for her." Saturn walks off. "Why didn't I strike?" she asks herself looking down at her sword. Back at the caravan Rika is staring across the multiple posters, before laying back down next to Flawless. "Haven't done much today...." "No, It's been too hot." Rika says Flawless is staring at the Rika's phone Tenshi left "This is the changeling hive." "Oh yeah, I did record something there, thought it would be nice to record that moment of my life." "Sadly I wasn't able to catch the moment Love Train activated." "You wanted to record that?" "Of course. It was probably the greatest moment of my life" "You're strange...." Flawless watches befuddled The video cuts to outside, recording the sky at night. in the sky there are nebulae that coils into itself like a rope. It pans up to the center of the universe before cutting to the next video. Rika ponders over the posters still, one of her with her Kanto league team. "It's been a while huh....." "Have you been preparing well for the next League." "I kinda forgot about that after the whole thing with the Phantom." "I guess you would." "Didn't she give you her mask?" "Yeah..... It's in my room." "I still don't know what the whole deal with Love Train is." Rika sits there, thinking about Satoko, she hadn't seen her in years. Of the words she left her with before leaving on the back of Hrimfaxi "I want you to chase me, to the ends of the universe." She hadn't seen Satoko since then, thinking of the mask reminds her. Rika fiddles with the Kyogre toy, Groudon was in the other set which wasn't available. A scary image of a bug eyed man appeared in the monochrome room. The man unsheathes his sword, cutting the whole room diagonally. Luce leaves carrying Rika back to her home, Mario was announced missing after the event. The man appears back in Mary Geoise with 2 other men. His bugeyes stare across the room. Saturn dips his ice in tea, taking notice of the man. "Don't let yourself be seen. Phantom." The bug-eyed man uninflated back to his normal form, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro. Rika had run out, staring frantically around the night. The demon was nowhere to be seen. Rika faints back into Kinu Himuro's arms. "Nightmares will plague you, if you continue to search for answers." The mans glasses were leaning off his face, he was looking for his daughter, Lyra Heartstrings. "Me nor this girl have any idea what happened to your daughter." "I sympathize with you but please leave her alone." "I suspect neither of you, I just thought I'd warn you on my way." Rika sits there, going from mulling over the comic to messing with the toys. Flawless is still sprawled out across the couch that's covered in rugs and blankets. The room is filled with the sound of the blowing fan and tv. The fan is protected by a horizontal cage. On the TV Donkey Kong is trying to sell some weird laughing mask, before getting cut off with a screen announcing that Mario is missing. The photo of Mario is monochrome and barely legible. "Kohaku ought to be back from that Chinese Restaurant around now." Rika mumbles. "Oh yeah, weren't you going to ask her about the Anothers?" "Yeah, specifically about another W" Flawless switches the channel. "Who do I look like Bruce Lee?" one of the men on the TV laughed Another man dressed as a Lion was parading around the room laughing. "What kind of shit do they even air over here?" Flawless questions. A centipede crawls up the screen. Rika wonders how she was led so astray. the room weighs on Rika's senses, pleading for her to sleep, but she wanted to make the most of this night. She thought back to the giant tower she saw the Phantom. the chaotic mass of beams. But she was here, alive still. The lion vanished, striving behind the curtain. Rika stares back at the toys, fidgeting with them a bit, thinking about what's happening on the TV. Flawless switches channels again. The Centipede darts swiftly over the TV, now playing. light from the tv bathes Rika in a slight bit of warmth, her eyes threatening to close over. Thinking back to the joyous, happy, singing Lion. Why hadn't she convinced herself to be happy yet? The sun scorches outside, but Rika lay there cooled by her Regice. Flawless stares at the burning bush outside, they had no need to worry about the flames for Regice was there. a flag was stuck on the TV screen. cut to an image of Luigi coming in through a door. "Find me, find me, why is there grass in here." Worried of the beasts that could lurk in the grass, Luigi tiptoes around the edges, before hitting a tree. The tree blocks the way into a small grove. "Was I mislead?" Luigi tries staring through the small opening between the trunk. There is a girl, resting, surrounded by Glooms. The channel switches again, Luigi sitting in a room talking to Kit. "They blew up the Opera house?" Luigi yells. "You're telling me the Opera house got blown up, and no one noticed?" Kit Rika placed the Groudon next to the Wailord. "It's not a Kyogre but I guess it'll suffice." Rika can't shake the feeling that she's in a rut, just sitting there watching the TV completely zombiefied. Was this what she wanted, she thought over this so much it seemed only to matter to her now. She fiddles with the Groudon. "Regice, you're the only one that I haven't come up with a curse for yet?" Regice turns to Rika, the dots on it's face flashing. thoughts of the boat come to Rika's mind. "I wonder where Mahoro is now...." Rika questions. "You've been chasing that girl all holiday, left my mind since you were so fixated on getting that wailmer toy." "She's beautiful, she's barely made any curses but those she has." "They make me feel indescribable feelings." Rika hugs herself. Regice's dots flash, as if responding to Rika. "Oh Mahoro.... I love you." Rika lays her head against the arm of the chair. "Drunk on love again huh." "When am I not high on love" Rika says, wishing it was true and that these moments weren't fleeting. a sudden sadness paints Rika's face "Just be happy with what you've got right now." Flawless tells Rika
"I finally have a daughter!" Soranaki cheers rushing off with Lyra. His escape route is cut off by Saturn. Saturn sets Soranaki ablaze, knocking him over with one of his legs, and retrieves Lyra. Bon Bon stands above the roof of Mary Geoise. Bon Bon took her Bakotsu form, posing as a giant toad statue. sitting her computer down besides the toad, Rika sits out a satellite to pick up signals from the castle. since it was covered by a giant cave there was no risk or rain damaging anything. Gears were moving water around the giant structure to power all the doors of the castle. Rika shoves the door to the side, barely able to squeeze through the gap she created. from above, water was trickling down between the gears, the small slit revealing the sun casting a rainbow from them. The gears catch fire, burning bright green. Rika dashes back, under a giant gear that got dislodged by the flames. The heat was to great, the entire structure was creaking under the weight of the flames. Satono is unable to lift the Bakotsu from the roof. "I won't leave until I know this statue is safe!" in the distance, V Nusjuro is leaping from roof to roof. He scoops up the Bakotsu, leaping past Satono and Rika, followed by a large gust of wind. "The Bakotsu!" Satono turns, reaching towards the saint. the floor beneath her goes aloft, bringing her back to reality. then the clock collapses, Satono catching Rika before she falls. The computer tied to Rika's back is whirring. she sits in the trunk of the craft, trying as hard as she can to cool it. "Rika.... do you have the prayers still?" "Yeah, I saved them to the computer," Satono heads to the main cabin, wishing Rika a goodnight. she sits there sleeping next to Kohaku, the night seemed so relaxing, even after what happened.
Poseidon fights the demon Pinocchio is dragged through the street the man shows off his massive collection The Woman walks into Saturn's office. Rika offers her Black Lotus to Flawless. "Why're you giving me this?"
I've been fighting for as long as I can remember. The fruits that the beasts eat are what we grow, those fruits serve to protect us also. The arms. I passed by the forest, realizing the danger is not only to the beasts, but to the very fruits. Though Dr. Hinelar's gone, the threat's still remain. We must not let the beasts go extinct. Destroy them, for they want to destroy our dreams. I jab the blade into the beasts head. Over and over again, I can't stop stabbing into the beast, Gaim had to intervene, pulling me back. blood spurts up into my face from the body, getting into all in my mouth. It made me feel sick, not just the fact that I swallowed blood, but the fact that man is now a part of me. It's Ironic, now he's part of me I feel sick, but I fought for the freedom to become him. Or his fruit anyway, for I have become a Bujin. I wake in an old house, laying on a straw bed. We went out. Meeting up with Cooler they enter the cave.
