Ooc: This'll be a bit long, but bear with me. I have to explain things. Ooc)
As if on cue, Yugi walked toward the now almost complete group. "Ahh! I see you've found the Prototype. Then please..." As he finished, he motioned the group to the base. Once there, the group was finally able to sit and rest for a moment.
"I feel like I've been on my feet all day..." Kon said.
"You have..." Neina replied.
"I do apologize for the rough treatment..." Yugi said with a chuckle. "But it was necessary to complete the first phase of our mission as quickly as possible. You see, the longer we wait, the worse things are going to get."
"OK..." Kon said. "We're all here. And aren't you supposed to do to them what you did to us?"
"In due time. But first, I have to make sure they're willing to stay." Yugi said.
"I have no real place to go to in this condition..." Max said.
"Neither do I." replied Sandy. The others seened to stay quiet, but didn't move.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'." Yugi said. "Ok... Moving on."
"Hang on a sec." Max said. "What did you mean when you called me a prototype?"
"You were fused with an Aaron (not sure if this is the right spelling)." Yugi said. "But then why only a shell on one arm?"
"Huh?" Max hadn't noticed it earlier, probably due to shock, but his left arm was the only arm that resembled an Aaron. However, his right arm had a strange marking on it. "What's this?"
"If you would like..." Yugi said. "I can unfuse you from Aaron. However, it will be very painful. But I guarantee you that Aaron will be fine."
"You can do that?" Max said.
"Yes, but it will take a little time to prepare the equipment." Yugi said, as he looked at the rest of the group. "In the meantime, I'll be able to go over our purpose and the current situation."
There was a deafening silence in the air. It was like discovering the meaning of life or the basic equivalent. Every second was like an eternity.
"As some of you know, we call ourselves the Nova Warriors." Yugi began. "However, don't feel obligated to do so yourself. It's merely a name, nothing more."
"Kind of like Team Rocket or Team Magma..." Robin said.
"In a way, yes." Yugi continued. "But unlike those groups, we don't serve the forces of evil."
Robin was silent for a moment.
"Don't worry." Yugi said. "I know you never meant to hurt anyone. You did quit the minute you found out what Team Magma was really like. That shows integrity."
"But why us?" Kon said. "You could've chosen ANYONE."
"That is an excellent question." Yugi said. "To answer it, I have to backtrack a bit and explain how I came to be here. You see, when the Wormhole first appeared, we used to access it to travel to different dimensions, never thinking twice about it. At the time we didn't know of the dangers it represented. It wasn't mobile."
"So, it's been there for that long?" Kon said.
"Yes." Yugi replied. "But it started with things before the phenomenon. We've seen many universes, from ones where Earth is ruled by a Moon Kingdom, to ones where people actually travel into computers instead of just surf the web. It was amazing to say the least."
"Unreal..." Robin said. "That's incredible..."
"In fact..." Yugi said. "I once met a man that would probably refer to Poke-Morphs as Mutants. Not to mention the fact that he was able to read minds. Needless to say, he knows about us too."
"But..." Kon said.
"But there was a downside..." Yugi said. "I've also met evil beings the likes of which you'd never be able to comprehend. I've seen evil beings with power that STAGGERS comprehension, and no counterparts to stop them... They would roam the universe and commit atrocities too hideous to even mention... Strange... I've visited many universes, or dimensions if you will, probably over a hundred now, and Pokemon only exist in two of them as far as I know..."
"You mean there are other worlds with Pokemon on them?" Kon said.
"Indeed." Yugi said. "However... As I watched the other universe, saw what was happening... I'd had enough... After the Wormhole was stabilized, I swore that I would do what I could to prevent what happened there from happening here, if it was possible..."
"What do you mean?" Robin said. "What could've possibly happened that's so terrible? How bad could these people possibly be?"
"Let me ask you..." Yugi said. "You ever see a man blow up a planet with two fingers, Robin?"
"Um... no..." Robin said nervously.
"I have. He enjoyed it." Yugi said. "How's THAT for a nightmare?"
"But, what are WE supposed to do against that type of thing?" Max said. "We aren't THAT powerful!"
"True. You'd be annihilated by something of that caliber..." Yugi said. "But... that's where this place comes in... I'd like for all of you to undergo special training. Not to directly fight these beings... Don't get me wrong. The universe is an infinitely big place. I'm not saying that something's DEFINITELY going to happen. Just think of it as a precaution, in case something does happen. If. Nothing may EVER happen. But there is always a chance..."
