"Mementos is...uh, hard to explain. As it is I still don't get it much..." He couldn't say much more than that, though, as suddenly somebody new showed up. In, like, the weirdest outfit Skull had ever seen. For real, she looked like a cosplayer!

"Hey! Hold up!" Joker usually led these negotiations and stuff, but maybe he could take a crack at it? "You can't drop all that info and just run off! The Hell are you anyway, teleporting all over like it's nothing?!"

"Oh Knight, where are you in situations most dire!"

The strange lady didn't seem to calm from Skull's words as her boots made for a dash.

"That didn't work too well," Kokkoro adds as she vanishes, reappearing in front of the lady. As the lady runs towards other directions, she does the same thing again, effectively cornering her with her unstoppable speed.

"Excuse me, Miss, but I believe you have the right place. Please answer their questions. My allies may not be the most calm of individuals, but I assure you, they are in no way malicious."

The lady sighs as she halts her tracks. "Very well then. I am here not for aggression or feud, but for something important. And my name...

... my name is Pasha, the Ti- just Pasha will do. As said, I am looking for the Singularity of the Sky Realm..."

"And why this Singularity specifically? Why not anyone else?"

"Are you willing to help?"

"Well, we don't even know what we're helping with... so..."

"For starters, what can this 'Singularity' be identified by, Pasha-sama?"

"I myself have difficulties, since I have not seen this person before. Well, for starters, he or she leads the crew of the Grandcypher, a-"

"That Grandcypher?" Shouko points to the Grandcypher that was parked not too far away. For Skull, that would be his first time seeing it.

"Yes, that- huh? Does that mean that the one I seek is closeby?"

"Well, if she's looking for someone on the ship, maybe we could invite her on. What do you all think?"

"What's this Mementos place, anyways? I don't think I've heard of that restaurant," Mirei adds.

"What do they sell? Aglio Alio? Portobera Mushroom Carbonara? Pain on the platter?"

"I doubt that this Mementos Skull-sama speaks of is a restaurant of any kind," Kokkoro adds, "we should try to ask questions to each other later on, but for now, let's join the others."

Kokkoro opens the doors back into the building, before the group was interrupted by someone teleporting into the fray, right in front of them on the grassy patches!

"Hmmm... this should be Phantagrande, in the Sky Realm. If I'm not wrong, the Sky Realm's singularity should be- oh! Well, this is awkward."

The lady, garbed in strange clothing and wielding a great staff, only just noticed our suburban friends and one mountain elf.

"Is it, really?" Mirei raises the eyebrow of her unpatched eye.

"Yeah," Saki growls, intimidating the lady, "don't think you can just teleport in front of us out of the blue and expect nothing to come out of it. You out to get us or something?"

"This situation is a lot more hostile than I thought. Maybe I ought to leave. Times like these are always so much smoother with the Knight around."

She panics, preparing to run.

"What are you doing?" Kyaru says as Yuuki approaches Gran and Djeeta, looking them in the eye while maintaining his smile. He reached into their ears, like a magician pulling a coin out in a trick.

Yuuki seemed to be doing something. He didn't snapped his fingers, he merely crossed his arms and maintained his gaze.

None could see what he was up to after that. Only Gran and Djeeta were fully aware of what he just did, and it was probably for the best.

"AAHH!"

As Yuuki shrugs his shoulders, he joins the group as Gran and Djeeta follow.

"Wh- what just happened?"

"I don't know, but don't you think that was pretty awesome?"

"I don't think you saw it either, Pecorine, but something tells me it's something we'll never understand. Ever."

"You will see soon," Johann says to Ian as the group proceeds. Onto the Forbidden Archives.

"Don't touch anything, that's how those Watchers popped out. Anyways, I think we've found something pretty direct here. It's about the Bahamut Totems and the Gears."

"Woah woah woah," Vyrn adds, "I think you're skipping a few steps here."

"I guess heading straight to the point does confuse some, now doesn't it? But yes, something like this happened three hundred years ago, so it's fortunate that we have some prior reference per say."

"I guess the same can't be said for the ones living back there..." (Crow)Lyria shook her head, then took her journal out, "I guess I should write this all down."

"From the perspective of the Skydwellers here, Pandemonium was replaced by livable land and seas, just as you described. This livable land and seas were in fact other worlds, and going down there was basically crossing into another world.

From an inference, I believe that these 'Gears' mentioned here and these 'Bahamut Totems' hold importance. These Gears, in their rightful place, hold various worlds in their place, but when they are scattered across worlds like they were back then, well... the worlds begin to converge, shifting away.

For you, Gran, Djeeta, Sandalphon and Lyria- s? Lyria. It's kind of like the explanation for how the islands stay afloat, just think of each island as an entire realm, and the control is in a core and not within each island itself. Only three different Gears are mentioned - the Diva Gear, the Trinity Gear and the Grid Gear, but we believe there might be more.

It seems that each Gear would be drawn to a world which it had more affinity with. The Grid Gear, which represented the importance of four elements, split into four and ended up in our world."

Illustrations of these Gears were displayed to the group.

"So this 'core' is where these gears are meant to be. What are 'Bahamut Totems' then?" Kyaru asks, pupils darting around.

"Bahamut Totems refer to people who have some type of embedded power in them, on top of their own, awakened when the Gears are displaced. It's said that something can be activated when all twenty-two are present in the same place at the same time, likely some kind of backup to fix the mess should the gathering of the Gears fail. Since these embedded powers are speculated to be pieces of a Primal Beast, or even a being beyond the Astrals, it might be possible that Lyria's abilities can sense them. Unless, of course, they're in a Primal Beast."

"You think bad guys will compete with us? Seems like that kind of story."

"That is possible, Djeeta, in fact, that is what happened in the past with a Lucifer of another world. He wished to use the Bahamut Totems to gain great power, and with them, he created some sort of 'Lesser Bahamut', as these texts call it- huh, some of this is faded. They really should use better ink. I know I would've if I lived back there...

... this part here mentions something about Yggdrasil, Tiamat, Collosus and Leviathan, and their link to the Grid Gear, but the faded text omits any further specification."

"Looks like we have a lead. I guess we should pay our friends a visit ASAP!"

"Hold your horses, Vyrn. Maybe we should see what everyone else has to ask first. Like this one...

What do the other Gears have links to?"

"If that's the case, we better get going. I'm sure we'll figure things out somehow. Thanks guys."

"Oh! This is shrouded in mysteries that I have never stumbled upon! I'd love to accompany you and learn about that which I have not seen."

"Hold it Johann," Arusha tugs him, "you're helping me clean this mess up. Last time you went to the Forbidden Section, the Library stayed clean, but second time's the charm, and those Watchers that popped out just..."

Those michievious Primal Beasts had scattered books and stone decor all over the place. The battle afterwards only worsened things. To call it a mess was an understatement.

"Well, to be fair, it was the mu- wait, where'd your friend go, Nono?"

"If they haven't returned here, Shouko and the others who left are probably back on the Grandcypher..."

"Hmmm... think we have enough time and people if we all stayed behind to help for thirty or so minutes? I really doubt two people can't handle this chunk that easily."

"I'll see if I can gather people from the ship, then."

Gran briefly leaves the area.

A few moments later, a muscular-looking, pink-furred, humanoid cat-headed creature came along, starting to help move things to their original place with its big, bulky arms.

"MEOW."

"Eek!"

"Just what the heck is that thing?" Kyaru exclaims.

"Oh, hey Miku!" Djeeta just waves, "did Gran send you?"

"No problemo, dude!" the Lowain bros replied in unison.

"Alaska's the ice place with moose and bears, pretty much the opposite of Sunny Sunny Hawaii, where we have to worry about coconut crabs and volcanoes instead of bears," Mirei adds, "I kinda wish one of our next jobs were... someplace exotic. We've got lots of colleagues who have been to places like Germany, France, Hawaii, London, the Carribean..."

"A bunch also went with Anya to Russia... maybe our Producer could hook a business trip up for us to go to Dubai... or Rio de Janeiro..."

"Imagine that lady planning a job in SanFran."

"What's in SanFran?"

"I'unno. What's in SanFran?"

"You guys talkin' 'bout good places to go?" Saki asks, "I'll treat you all to some Drive-In Tori if you guys drop by Saga someday! It's some of the best chicken that'll enter yer mouth! You've gotta go there at least once!"

"Oh yeah! That's the place Tamami talked about a few times, she's frequented that place before her idol days. Koharu also talks about the Underwater Aquarium thing back in her home."

"Ye got friends living in Saga, huh? Your fellow idols, I assume? Don't think I've heard of 'em, but when we meet, we'll see who's Kyushu's top idol!"

"Well, I do more observing from above than actually enjoying things, so I am not too versed in reccomendations, but I do know some good coffee spots in the skies," Sandalphon contributes, "Fehrtyl Island has recently started producing a mushroom-flavoured variant of Kopi Luwak."

"They say it's Summer All Year Round in Auguste! The G. Cyph crew always returns there to kick back in the third quarter of the year! If you aren't interested in beach babes and playing around, there's always something in the sea for everyone to catch, reel and bite!"
​

"Like the Bonito!"

"Eals!"
​

"The legendary Bonito!"

"Demonbream!"
​

"The big bad Bonito!"

"The Deep Sea Demon Albacore!"
​

"Don't say Bonito."
​

"Guess I got carried away."

"You should drop by Valeria Park when you have the chance," Pasha adds, "there aren't too many Theme Parks in Mistarcia, so it's always great to see one! If you're looking for an educational tour, there's always the four schools, famous for different reasons."

"You are destined to find something in Landsol, the Town of Guilds. Going beyond its borders will greet you with sights of the beautiful Astraean wilds."

Someone came down the stairs from the deck. It was Gran!

"Hello ladies and gentlemen! Am I interrupting something?"

"Hello again, Gran-sama. Is there anything you need from us?"

"The Hall of Knowledge got pretty messed up by the fight, and whatever preceded it. I was wondering if anyone wanted to contribute to putting things in place."

"It's my fault, isn't it?" Shouko hung her head low.

"Look, you know it's your fault, you learn from it, and you swear never to do it again," Gran smiles as he places a hand on her shoulder, "life's about making mistakes, sometimes I make almost fatal ones."

"You said it, other me!"

Another Gran walked out from the cabin areas and gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, no, no, we've already seen two Lyrias and two Sandalphons. We don't need this," Mirei shakes her head.

"Hmph, everything's so confusing!" the second Gran seemingly disappeared at the blink of an eye while a second Mirei popped out of the cabin corridors.

"Ah! You scared me!

What kind of world do you live in? Xenoglossia?"

"OK Miku, that's enough."

A mist of pink smoke surrounded the second Mirei, only to reveal a strange looking cat as it dispelled, complete with attire out of feudal Japan(without the bottoms) and fur that swayed like smog.

"Meow..."

The cat-like being altered its body shape with what could be inferred as a shapeshifting ability of sorts, now standing upright, humanoid and exaggeratingly muscular in build.

"MEOW."

The strange cat bellowed in a deep voice as it proceeded to walk up the deck, a thud being heard as it landed on the island's soil, walking towards the Hall of Knowledge to offer its assistance, smacking its fists in the process, most of the latter process observable through the window by all. Mirei stared in shock.

"Wha- what was that?"

"A friend I met at Gravity Falls. Same place I learned about the existence of America and Dinosaurs. Long story."

"Gran? You mean like... the Gran I'm looking for?" Pasha gasps.

"That's right! Now you just have to look for Djeeta!"

"Is there something you need me for?"

"I'll tell you while we do what you are requesting us to help you do. It's a bit of a story."

Fjorm sat up in the bed and looked around. She coughed into the blanket.

"Thank you..." She said, looking around. "Where's Kiran?" She asked, regarding the hero that had saved her last time.
​

Click to expand...

"Who is this Kiran? Your boyfriend?" the burly, horned man asked.

"Well," the animal-eared young lady spoke, "when my assistant and I found you in the middle of the Tarvi Dunes, we only managed to find you. There was absolutely zero evidence of you going to or from anywhere, and absolutely no sign that anyone else was there. Simply put - wherever you came from, you came alone."

As Fjorm looked around, she would see two others in the room.

The first was an elven woman, standing beside Fjorm's lance that leaned against the wall, standing beside another, different lance that presumably belonged to her.

"Y- you're welcome..."

The second was a woman, whom in terms of height, was the shortest of all in the room. It could be inferred that she was of the same race as the burly horned man.

"Hold up, Tarvi Dunes? That place is dangerous, in more ways than one!"

"My hunch told me to go there, I followed it, and I got results."

"Occasionally, young people who don't know any better go there to pick a golden flower of legend. All things considered, you have less of a reason to go there than them."

"Well, here's your golden flower of legend right here, I'm a young person, I didn't know any better, I found her, I picked her up, and I picked her good," the animal-eared person comments, then turns to Fjorm, "... what was your name again?"

Ryuji was a bit miffed that he had to clean up, but on the bright side, soon they were off to...shit, what were they trying to do again? He forgot as soon as she walked in. Man this Rosetta...she was cute!

"Hey," he said as suavely as he could (which wasn't very suave at all). "The name's Ryuji."

" So, fitting with the theme of everything here, what can you tell us about the place we have to enter? Any rules or customs that we need to worry about?" He asked.

"Well, good to meet you too, Ryuji~," Rosetta smiles back in her usual fashion, so to speak, "had a good day?"

She then turns to Ian. "The people of Lumacie don't turn visitors away, neither are they pursued should they enter or leave. That's their way of life. They live hidden in the trees, observing all from above. If anything or anyone is the slightest bit defensive, it's the Monsters that thrive."

"Lumacie's a lot less hostile than most of the places we've been," Djeeta adds as she walks towards and stands beside Rosetta, facing all as well, "I think it's because Yggdrasil herself is really nice, and Primal Beasts tend to have a big influence on the island they're bound to in more ways than one."

"That's one way to word it."
