Chapter 1: Worlds apart

The sun shone down, glinting off the large glass buildings of Akala island. Walking down the street from a hotel by the beachfront was a girl of around seventeen, looking around for a specific building. She had a slim figure of just under six feet tall, with long brown hair, green eyes, and a light skin tone. She wore a brown tank top and white jeans, with a burgundy shoulder bag nestled comfortably against her side.

She eventually stopped walking when she reached a parking lot in front of a three-story tan colored building, with a large satellite dish taking up a large part of the left side of the parking lot. She took out the address she was given and made sure it was the right place before she walked forward and entered the building. She walked up to the receptionist, and gave a warm smile, bowing slightly. "Hello, I was told to come here to meet a Professor Burnet?"

"Yes, You would be amiss Willow Thorne then? She's waiting upstairs in the dimensional research lab on the third floor. The elevator is just to the right." The now identified Willow bowed again, thanking her, and walking to the elevator doors. After entering and waiting for the elevator to reach the third floor, she exited and started looking for whoever she was supposed to meet.

"Howdy cous! You'd be Willow then, yeah?" Willow turned to see a tall muscular man wearing an open white lab coat and grey swim trunks waving towards her. "Nice to meet you! The names Kukui, and this here's my wife, Professor Burnet!" The woman Professor Kukui motioned towards was wearing a grey tank top, with black shorts and leggings.

"It's nice to meet you in person, Miss Thorne." Burnet stuck out her hand, which Willow took, smiling.

"It's nice to meet you too, you as well, Professor Kukui!" She stepped back, smiling and clutching the strap of her bag, blushing. "Um, so now that I'm here, would you mind telling me what this is about? Your email didn't really explain it…"

"Of course," Burnet waved her along, walking deeper into the room. "We can't start right now, as not everyone is here yet, but I can tell you it has to do with the Hoopa incident you were involved with last year."

"You know about Hoopa?"

"A Mythical pokémon went berserk and almost completely destroyed a city, until you and a number of legendaries stepped in, lots of people know about the Hoppa incident."

"Oh, well you should know that I didn't really do much, I was just kind of there."

"And that's why the general public just knows that it was a female trainer that helped, not you specifically. Anyway, we're only waiting for one other, but you can meet the other trainer we invited here for this experiment." She stepped aside and gestured forward another trainer who was sitting and joking with one of the scientists.

The trainer stood up and approached her, a mischievous grin on his face. He looked to be around eighteen, with dark skin and dark eyes, messy black hair hanging partly in front of said eyes. HIs body looked muscular, but not overly so, and wore a deep black hoodie that wasn't zippered, showing a silver shirt underneath, with navy jeans and a black and blue backpack on his back. "Good to meet ya, Miss! The names Noct, What's yours?"

"Oh, It's nice to meet you, Noct! I'm Willow!" Willow smiled in response to his grin, noting that he was a humorous one, from his demeanor. "So, Professors, who else are we waiting for?"

"We may have all sent you the invitations a few days ago, but he did reply that he was busy. He did say that he should be in Alola soon, so don't worry about that." A sudden large shadow flying across the windows drew their attention, and Professor Kukui walked over, looking out.

"Looks like you were right, honey, He's just on time! And he brought a guest!"

Sapphire Chaser sighed, hopping off the back of his flying pokémon. "You did good, return." A flash of red signaled the pokémon being returned to its plain red and white pokéball, which was then returned to his belt. He rolled his shoulder, trying to rid himself of the cramps that came with riding a flying pokémon with rock hard skin across an entire ocean. It certainly didn't help that his cape had gotten caught when he sat down, nor his staff being lodged awkwardly, and he didn't have time to adjust either.

Sapphire huffed, blowing some of his dark brown hair out of his blue eyes, some of the dyed blue strands being blown away as well. He usually covered his left eye to hide the… unique pupil he'd gained when pushing his aura to the extreme that one time, but right now he couldn't care less. Not even Guardians had limitless patience.

Being an Aura Guardian had its downsides, such as the whole outfit being eccentric and easily noticed, but he would not slack off, even in his dress. He wore the standard Aura Guardian raiments, a black shirt, and pants, covered by a navy vest, gloves, and boots, with a black cape and hat with a blue pokémon symbol and a brown pouch on his hip. It all fit his tall body, just about six foot two, which when combined with his muscle, about as much as a professional swimmer, gave him a handsome figure. All in all, it made him look around seventeen or eighteen when he was really sixteen.

His staff was holstered on his back, in an easy to reach place. Its dark wooden pole extending past his shoulder, with a blue orb stuck on the end, with a metallic ring around it. The only real differences he made to the outfit was the replacement of the outfits normal belt with his trainer belt, the Z-Power Ring that was on top of one of his gloves, and the metallic necklace around his neck that carried Him.

Of course, even if he hated the outfit he wouldn't change it. Every part of an Aura Guardians outfit had special properties to help their wearers, such as his pouch being… Sapphire was jarred out of his musings as there was a crash behind him, and he turned to see his current companion Anthony standing up. He sighed, adjusting his hat to block the sun's glare. "What happened?"

"You returned him before I got off him, sorry." Anthony dusted himself off and grasped the straps of his backpack, grinning. "So, ready to go in?" Unlike Sapphire, Anthony was more mundane. While he was taller, at around six foot four, he had a skinnier figure, with pale skin, short blond hair, and electric blue eyes. He wore a plain white shirt with gray sweatpants and had a white and yellow backpack, which was filled with just medicine and his pokéballs. All in all, he looked like an older high schooler, around eighteen years of age.

"Yeah, sure." Sapphire sighed and led the way into the building, walking to the receptionist. "I'm here for the professor, what floor is she on?"

She looked up and smiled, pointing at the elevators. "You're Sapphire Chaser then? She and the others are waiting on the third floor, you're the last one here." Sapphire 'tched' and walked to the elevator, while Anthony thanked her, jogging to catch up to the blue and black-clad guardian, jumping into the elevator just as it closed.

"That was kind of rude."

"Whatever. I just came to see what's so important that I had to fly over a full ocean uncomfortably."

"We could have taken a plane."

"Planes are too slow. Besides, maybe they should have waited until we were done for sure with that business in Kanto."

"Nobody could have known it would take so long…" Anthony chuckled nervously at the dark aura Sapphire was giving off, before smiling. "By the way, thanks for the help. I don't think a simple pokémon doctor could have done all that on his own."

Sapphire looked at him out of the corner of his eye, before huffing. "I may not seem friendly, but Aura Guardians protect humans and pokémon, and it was a dangerous situation. I was obligated to help."

"...Was that supposed to make me feel better, or worse...?" Sapphire didn't answer him, as the elevator dinged and he exited, Anthony following.

"Hello? Professor?" Sapphire turned a corner and studied the lab in front of him. Several bookshelves, multitudes of computers, and several scientists talking. The most eye-catching part was a machine in the very back, shaped like a giant ring and about ten feet in diameter, and plugged into several machines.

"Whoa, what the hecks that thing?" Anthony began walking over to it until he was stopped by a random scientist.

"Ah, there you are." Sapphire stopped watching his companion and turned to the tan woman talking to him, with two trainers and a poorly dressed scientist next to her.

"I assume you're Burnet then?"

"You'd be correct in that assumption. This here is my husband and fellow professor Kukui, and the other trainers I've invited are Miss Willow Throne and Mister Noct Umbra." Sapphire raised an eyebrow at the third name and turned to the trainer.

"Yeah, my parents have a fascination with pokémon types. Pretty sure you can tell that just from my name." He grinned and winked, as Sapphire just sighed.

"Sure, whatever. Now, why did you want me to come here?"

Kukui laughed, "Well aren't you cheery! As you can tell from the name, the dimensional research lab researches dimensions and other worlds. Included in this, are the ultra beasts. Beings from other worlds, which also include the legendary pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala."

Sapphire crossed his arms nodding. "Yes, I've dealt with them before."

"Which is why the three of you have been called here. You've dealt with Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma before, Willow here has dealt with a pokémon called Hoopa who can travel between worlds using its hoops, and Noct dealt with legendary pokémon of antimatter Giratina, which has its very own dimension, the reverse world."

"So is it a problem that Anthony is here?" He pointed over his shoulder, where the blond was arguing with two scientists now, wanting to get closer to the ring. "He hasn't dealt with any of these pokémon. I only brought him because I owe him one, and this seemed interesting."

"It's fine! This isn't top secret or anything, but as some of the only people to deal with interdimensional pokémon, we thought you'd like to see the first trial, cous!" He waved over a scientist who was carrying several bundles of clothing. "But first, we all need to put on this protective gear. This device is slightly dangerous."

Sapphire sighed, taking the clothes. "Of course…"

Sapphire grunted as he adjusted the protective gear he had put on over his original outfit, and gripped his staff that he had removed and placed on the outside of his gear. He wouldn't fit on the inside, so he attached it to the outside for easy use. It was just disconcerting that he couldn't feel it physically on his back unless he reached back.

"So!" The person in the protective gear across from could only be identified by their height and voice, as the gear hid their figure and face. But by the height and voice, it was obviously Professor Kukui. "Now that we're in our gear…" He stepped back and gestured towards the ring Anthony had been trying to approach. "We can talk about the Pseudo Ultra Wormhole! Name change pending."

"So what does it do?" A suit of protective gear asked, quickly identified as Anthony within Sapphire's head.

"We've been studying the Ultra Wormholes used by Ultra Beasts and the alolan legends, and think we've found a way to replicate them without needing any of the aforementioned pokémon!"

"...Why would you want to do that?"

"C'mon Sapph!"

"Don't call me Sapph."

"It's science! Who wouldn't want to make a teleportation device! Because that's basically what this is right?"

"Right in one," Burnet spoke up, folding her arms. "Teleportation would revolutionize the world, especially for people who don't have pokémon that can teleport, like alakazam or gardevoir. No need for planes or boats, except for leisure I guess, But it would be incredibly useful. And the ultra beasts can use ultra wormholes to travel incredible distances in seconds, probes we've sent through actual wormholes travel light years in milliseconds!"

"So now you've made a wormhole machine." Noct clasped his hands behind his head, tilting it. "Is it safe?"

"To machines, yes!"

The three trainers and one doctor looked at each other, somehow knowing they were all deadpan looks through the opaque visors.

"But today will be the first human test, we'll be teleporting straight to a sister lab on Mele mele island!"

"Um, I didn't really sign up to test myself on this…"

"Oh, did you think we would be using you all to test this Wilow? Of course not! We just wanted you to witness this momentous occasion, I'll be testing this personally. You're wearing the suits because the radiation the pseudo wormhole gives off can be poisonous if you're exposed for too long."

"Oh, well that makes me feel better." Sapphire rolled his eyes behind his visor and gestured to the ring.

"Well if you're so excited, get it started. The sooner we start, the sooner you can show off your invention to the world." Anthony sighed behind his helmet at Sapphire's disinterest, going to put his hands in his pocket before remembering the suit.

"Ha, right! Start her up!" Several of the scientists, also in the protective gear, began working on the computer, starting up the ring. Lights on the outside of the ring began lighting up until all of them were alight, and the center of the portal lit up with a familiar pale blue light, with a whiter center.

Everyone watching winced, and Sapphire sighed at a headache that was forming, remembering the pain that the holes in spacetime could cause to onlookers. Unlike the actual wormholes, there were no cracks in reality around it, most likely due to the ring containing it, but that didn't stop the mounting sense of vertigo that was beginning to overtake him… Actually, was the room shifting?

Several of the machines began beeping wildly, and multiple lights on the outer part of the ring smashed, as the scientists began panicking. Sapphire snapped into action, herding the scientists out. "Everyone, go! Don't try to fix it, It'll fix itself when it's done! For now, we need to get out of here!" Parts of the ring were beginning to bend inwards, as the metal warped in response to the heavy gravity coming from the center of the ring. Cracks in reality were beginning to appear, and the very world around him seemed to slope, as the wormhole began turning a violent red and black, gravity becoming stronger.

Burnet was leading the scientists out, while Kukui herded them. Sapphire tore his eyes from the now migraine inducing portal, to see Noct, Willow, and Anthony still watching in horror. "What the hell are you waiting for?! MOVE!" His shouting shocked them out of it, and they began sprinting to the stairs, as the elevator had shut down.

The entire building shuddered, and Sapphire felt his feet slipping from under him as the portal suddenly got a boost in power, its gravity becoming stronger than the earth's gravity. Sapphire fell, slamming into a desk, and then a computer as he fell towards the demonic looking portal. He gripped the edge of a desk, and slowed, until the portal's gravity increased again, and scrambled for another thing to hold as the desk broke under his weight.

He growled, and pushed aura through his body, gripping the edge of the portal as he fell through. Thanks to reinforcing his body with aura, his arm wasn't relocated. He couldn't resist looking down and paled under his suit at the unearthly sight below him. Regular ultra wormholes had a deep blue within, with multicolored exits to various worlds scattered around. Inside this one, It was an endless black abyss, with random spots of blood red color scattered like a murder scene.

He felt his grip slip, and scrambled with his other hand for the edge, until he remembered his staff, and reached back to grab it. He poked it out of the tear in reality, trying to find something to latch onto, until something- or someone- grabbed it. He looked up to see… well, he didn't know, until the voice spoke up from inside the suit. "Hold on, you stubborn cosplayer!"

"Noct?! I said to get out! You'll be pulled in too!"

"Oh come on! That's how you thank someone for saving your life?!" Noct tried to use a humorous tone but failed as the gravity kept increasing, making him strain to hold the staff. He kept bending forward more, his feet planted on the edge of the hole, almost being sucked in as well.

"Dammit, just leave me for god's sake!" Sapphire grunted as he felt his body and suit begin to be put under immense stress, the fabrics of the protective gear straining. He gasped as he felt a stronger pull from Noct, and looked up to see two others pulling on him, helping him keep a hold.

"Don't worry Mister Chaser, we've got you!"

"We've still got to travel the rest of Johto, remember? Don't let go now!"

"OH YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!"

Several pieces of concrete were flying past them, the building being torn apart around them. Sapphire grunted, having spread his aura to Noct's, Anthony's, and Willow's bodies, hoping to keep their bodies from being torn apart. "Just go! I won't have you dying to save me!" Sapphire gasped, feeling himself be pulled back, as his staff began to be pulled out of his hands.

"No, Sapph!" The fabric of his glove finally split, revealing his regular Aura Guardian glove underneath, as he fell back into the portal. He fell head over heel, continuously spinning, with no reference of what was up or down, except the hole that daylight shone through, which seemed to be slowly closing.

Kukui dug through the rubble of the Dimensional Research Lab, desperately trying to find a sign of any of the teenagers. "Come on, come on, come on!" He tossed aside a larger piece of rubble, finding one of the machines that had powered the ring, and had miraculously not been pulled in. It still had a bit of power, and the files hadn't been corrupted, maybe he could use it to find a way to bring the kids back if they'd really been…

"Professor!" He turned and saw several of the scientist holding up the mangled ring. It somehow maintained its circular shape, but all of the metal had been pulled inwards towards the portal. On parts of the metal were pieces of the protective suits, one had a part of Anthony's shirt, another had pieces of Noct's Jeans, and a third had the torn fabric of Willow's skirt.

"No…" Kukui fell to his knees, hand resting on the metal. "Damn it…"

"OOF!" Sapphire gasped, feeling something smash into him, and looked to see somebody in one of the suits struggling to take off his glove, to replace Sapphires ripped one. Through the cracks in the helmet, he could see a familiar shock of golden blond hair and groaned at the what his companion had just done.

Two more impacts slammed into him, and he coughed as he felt one slam into his stomach and the other onto the side opposite Anthony. He didn't even have to look to guess who they were. "Why the hell would you follow me in?!" He didn't even have to yell, as unlike the outside of the portal, which was loud with the sounds of things smashing and being pulled in, the inside of the portal was completely silent.

"Well even without my heroic lifestyle," Sapphire narrowed his eyes at Noct's sarcasm, "I didn't have a choice. After you fell in I felt a rush of fatigue, and couldn't stop myself from falling in after the other two slammed into me. But hey, at least you've got your pole back." Sapphire looked, and indeed, his staff was held in Noct's hand.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. We're falling away from the only visible exit, and nothing is visible in the other direction. If what Kukui said is true, We'll die slowly, soon. Our suits filter the air, and without air in here we'll suffocate. Even if there was air, the radiation in here is poisonous according to Kukui, so we'd die of that. There's nothing we can do."

Everyone around him stilled, the consequences of the situation dawning on them. Sapphire just stared ahead, looking out into the nothing, taking a shuddering breath. He felt slightly guilty at making them all feel bad, after all, they were pulled in trying to save him, weren't they? "Listen…" Sapphire began to speak until he noticed why they had stilled. All of their suits had leaks in the helmets, and they were all going unconscious from lack of air.

While his glove was torn off, the suit had sealed the rest of his body, meaning he still had air. Sapphire looked down, contemplating what to do. He could give them the rest of his air, but wouldn't that prolong the pain of drifting endlessly, until suffocation? He grit his teeth until he gasped as he felt a weight on his chest. That was right, he had the perfect pokémon to help! But he would expose himself to the radiation, and lose all of his air at once…

Sapphire steeled himself, preparing to rip off the suit. He was an Aura Guardian, he would always sacrifice himself for the safety of humans and pokémon. He unclasped his suit, the pressurized air making the others slowly drift away from his body, and revealed his guardian outfit underneath. He reached down and tore off the special pokéball on his necklace, the magnetic ends of the necklace clasping together. He pointed the white premier ball forward, releasing the pokémon inside with a bright flash.

A roar sounded out, hundreds of times louder within the soundless void than it normally was. Somehow, even without air, sound could travel, one of the things Sapphire was grateful for. Perhaps the radiation? The large gold and white form illuminated the void and turned to its trainer. "Sapphire, where are we?" Sapphire shook his head, pointing at his throat and then pointing towards the bodies of his fellow trainers. The pokémon nodded, "Got it. Hang on." Sapphire grasped onto the mane of the pokémon, its strong as steel back painful, if there was gravity.

The pokémon gracefully flew through the void and allowed Sapphire to grasp the hands of the unconscious trainers, and pull them onto the golden pokémon's back. "Now what? This looks like an Ultra Wormhole, but… obviously, there's something wrong with it. You'll go unconscious soon, I need to get you to the exit." Sapphire pointed towards where they had entered, he assumed, but the portal entrance was no longer there. Instead, there was just a large amount of rubble. "...Ah."

Sapphire's eyes widened, and he grasped his pokémon's mane, beginning to panic. "Don't worry, I've always just exited through an exit that I found within an ultra wormhole, but I believe I can make one. I'll need a massive power up to do so though. Do you have enough energy?"

Sapphire nodded, his eyes hardening. He grasped his staff, not having let go of it the whole time. He was beginning to lose consciousness, but he couldn't give up, not yet. He focused, pouring his aura into the staff. The orb at the top began glowing blue, with the symbol inside glowing bright with every color in the spectrum. The crystals inside his Z-Power Ring glowed as well, powering up with his staff. He poured the energy into The pokémon he was riding, powering it up, and pushing it past its limits.

"You certainly are impressive Sapphire." Sapphire smiled, feeling the now physical bond that stretched between their bodies. He gestured forward, pointing towards the abyss. "Right." The pokémon focused, pulling the power inward, its form changing, from that of a gold, white, and black lion to a purely golden and ethereal form with prismatic eyes, a large dragon that could have carried several others on its back easily. It roared, feeling the power flowing through it, and prepared to save the people on its back.

"Now!" Light burned off of its body as if it were a thousand galaxies mashed into one body, all burning with an intensity that rivaled the very sun. Light began coalescing in front of its mouth and between its four wings, becoming an orb of pure radiance, and growing larger and larger as the very darkness surrounding them was pulled in, making the void seem a dull and monotone grey. The orb quickly grew to match the pokémon's height, its diameter now twenty-six feet, and growing larger still, twice, then thrice the pokémon's size, until it could grow no more, and seemed to be the only thing in the void that was not a deep gray.

"LIGHT THAT BURNS THE SKY!" The pokémon threw it forward, the orb blasting forwards and smashing through reality, creating an explosion that outgrew first a building, then a city block, then an entire city. After the light faded, a golden hole, similar to the one they entered through, although it was obviously not as demonic looking. The pokémon was left breathing hard and felt its power fading, so it quickly flew forward, through the portal. As it flew forward, it felt air begin to flow against its body, and flew faster, hoping to save its trainer.

Above a massive blood-red forest, a blue and white portal opened, with golden light shining out from within. Suddenly, a massive form flew out, Too close to the ground to even think about changing its trajectory, and instead spun itself in midair, clasping the much smaller figures on its back close to its chest, shielding them with its wings. It smashed into the ground, creating a small quake, and sending trees flying.

The large golden dragon sighed, letting its wings splay to the side, as the only near unconscious trainer got off of its chest, patting it on its side. "Thank you Necrozma, you saved us."

"Just returning the favor Sapphire… but could you maybe return me? I'm feeling a bit tired…" Sapphire chuckled, taking the premier ball and returning the large dragon, unclasping the magnetic part of his necklace and sticking the ball between the parts, letting them clasp on and hold the pokéball. He froze as three thumps sounded out behind him, milliseconds apart.

"Oh… dear…" Sapphire quickly began setting up a camp in the new clearing Ultra Necrozma had created by crashing. He picked up his staff that had landed nearby, removed his tent from his pouch, and removed Willow's and Noct's tents from their bags, as well as their sleeping bags. He set everyone up inside their bags and tents, except Anthony, who he put in his own bag and tent, as Anthony had neither.

He then began setting up a crockpot and refilled everyone's water bottles, replacing the water inside with that of a nearby, clear stream. Afterward, he collected a multitude of broken branches and stones, setting up a fire. He grabbed some ingredients that Anthony had in his bag and began cooking for everyone, hoping they'd wake up soon. As dusk began approaching Sapphire held his forehead, feeling a sudden headache come on. "What? I feel like I've used a bunch of my aura… but I haven't used it once for hours. And my reserves were barely depleted even after that whole portal debacle…"

He removed his hat, brushing some of the sweat away. He paused, and looked down at his hand, concerned at the fact he was sweating after barely any manual labor for the past hour. He shook his head, trying to ignore how dizzy it made him and looked towards the tents when the others woke up. "You're all awake, good. The foods ready."

"Dang, I should have waked up earlier, now I've got to eat your cooking." Sapphire scowled at him and ladled out the stew he had made, giving bowls to everyone. "I've set up a camp, we've all got stocks of food to last a while, and the stream by the camp will supply us with water."

"Right, thanks." Noct grinned and began eating. He paled at the taste of the food Sapphire had prepared, before continuing to eat after seeing the death glare Sapphire sent him. "Uh, so any idea where we are?"

"Well I know that there are no naturally occurring red forests anywhere in the world, so we must be somewhere where it's fall? Maybe?" Willow smiled nervously, eating the stew slowly, trying to ignore the bad taste.

"According to the season of Johto, where we were several hours before the portal incident, it can't be fall anywhere in the world currently. There is really no logical reason for an entire forest to have red leaves. Even if it were Autumn, we'd see leaves of yellow and orange."

"You're nervous Anthony, you're beginning to list facts normal people don't care about." Sapphire deadpanned into his stew, not even lying to himself about his cooking abilities. Maybe he should have waited for them to wake up, he'd only have to wait another hour for food.

"R-right, sorry." Noct chuckled at the byplay and put his bowl aside.

"Either way, it's almost night time, we can look at the stars to see where we are."

"Oh! That's a good idea! Don't sailors look at the stars to find out where they are?"

"Pretty much. I liked looking at star charts when I was younger, I should be able to find out at least what continent we're on."

Sapphire tilted his head towards the sunset, "You're right about that, it's seconds away. Get a lock on where we are, then we can work out what to do from there. And eat your stew, its been hours."

Noct rolled his eyes and grabbed the bowl, continuing to eat. "Yeah yeah, what are you my mom now?" Sapphire sighed and rubbed his head, the headache continuing to grow worse. He looked up when he heard the clatter of metal on metal and saw that Noct had dropped his bowl, looking slack-jawed at the sky, with Willow and Anthony.

Instead of trying to ask what had stunned them and not getting an answer-back, he turned around to look for what shocked them. He subsequently went slack-jawed as well, when he saw the shattered pieces of the moon floating beside it, below a sky where all the stars were in different positions.

Several hours before the group of pokémon trainers became stunned by the broken moon, A tall bespectacled man wearing a black suit with a gray cane in his hands looked out the window of his tower, watching as miles away, a large golden portal, for even at this distance it was large, opened and spat out a golden shape. Seconds later, a dust cloud, lowercase 'D', shot up, before settling.

The man turned, and pressed a button on his desk, turning on the intercom to his assistant, even as he cycled through a multitude of cameras around the area the golden shape landed at. It seemed that most of the cameras nearby the landing had been smashed… no matter. "Glynda, would you mind sending teams RWBY and JNPR to my office?"

Yay, two trainers, a pokémon doctor, and an Aura Guardian have faceplanted in the forever fall forest. that'll be interesting. This is also the first time I'm using Grammarly, and I'm pretty sure the overall quality is better than usual. Anyway, I'm setting up this story's schedule to be a new chapter every third Saturday, like A New Dawn, but the Saturday after it. Hopefully, this makes it feel like a shorter wait since now there are two stories. Anyway, this means I've got to get some coffee so I can write chapter two by Saturday so this schedule works.
