"Alright, the researcher's house should be..." Michael and Sylveon were running down Brightwing Lane. They took this mission to see the Legendary Pokemon Celebi, and because it was somewhere close. They skid to a stop at a home with a large hole in the wall. Through the hole, a bizarre world could be seen. But that's not what stunned Michael. "Professor?!"

Professor Krane turned his attention away from his studies at the sound of Michael's voice. "Michael?! When and how did you get here?" he asked. "I don't know. The last thing I remember was trying to escape an explosion," Michael answered. "Anyway, what's going on with Celebi?"

"Well..."

Through the portal the duo could clearly see Celebi fighting four strange creatures-even stranger than anything Michael has seen-which had the Pokemon surrounded. "You shall not pass!" a male voice cried out as a mini tornado of glowing leaves surrounded it. The swirling of the leaves increased as the tornado expanded outward, scattering the creatures away from the hole. The Celebi turned around and winked as he gave his spectators a thumbs up.

"I'd say he's doing just fine," Prof Krane stated. "Anything Sylveon and I can do to help while we wait for the others?" Michael asked. "Not really especially if they get here as fast as you," Celebi remarked.

Toon Link ran to the area his sister pointed out with her telescope. He was now in the proper green attire again after his sister caught up with him to remind him to change. She was looking after him so much without their grandmother. Kind of was funny being the big brother and all... "Big Bro! Watch out!" Aryll's call over the Pirate Charm was too late though as the boy ran straight into a wall. He fell back from impact and gripped his head. He should really pay more attention to things.

The Hero of Winds looked to his right and noticed the group of people in front of.. some weird hole in the wall. That must be the meetup point. "I'm here... What is going on with that?" The boy asked as he looked up at the strange hole in the wall. "I never saw anything like that before..." Aryll's voice came out in amazement from the Pirate's Charm around Toon Link's neck as it glowed blue as she spoke.

The thunking of heavy armor approached the hole in the wall, that strange portal to another dimension. The heavy scent of copper and smoke hit the air, gunpowder and gore. The Doom Slayer was upon them. Standing his unbelievable six feet six inches, and bearing his signature shotgun in hand, that steel and fiberglass clad living weapon looked to the strange pink puppycat, the robot arm kid, and the cartoon character. He stood silent for a few seconds, before finally realizing he should say something. "I'm here for the job. Tell me what to shoot." those cold words rang out, devoid of all but a sliver of humanity and decency.

He WAS human, right? The heavy breathing figure barely seemed human if anything. His physicality, yes, was human, but some sinister, unfathomable rage lurked just beneath the surface of the skin, yearning to let loose and annihilate whatever got in his way. It was clear if the party were to run into any trouble as far as enemies went, he would be the first in, and likely the last out. Doomguy was, if anything, more component than man here.

Midna floated toward the group of people by the researcher's house and, more importantly, the gaping portal to another dimension. Portals like this were familiar to her, so she would definitely know how to deal with it.

When she was near enough, Midna took a look around at her allies. One looked rather menacing, radiating an aura of pure malice. The second looked really familiar. Kind of like Link, but a lot more cartoonish. And the last one, the one who called them all here, was simply a boy and a Pokémon that Midna hadn't seen before.

"I've arrived. What do I need to do?" Midna asked, looking through the portal, wondering what kind of things they'd find on the other side.

"Be careful or you might knock another hole in the wall," Prof Krane chided Link. And I thought this world couldn't get much weirder, Michael commented mentally at the sight of who he was working with. "It seems like something is connecting this world to the Minus World, and whatever it is, it's pretty deep inside," Celebi responded to Link's question telepathically as everyone else arrived. "So basically the mission is to find it and break or defeat who or what is causing this?" Michael guessed.

"Exactly, and we don't have a lot of time to waste," Celebi answered. "If you all would just step through my side of the portal, I can patch it shut so nothing from here escapes into Life Sphere," he told the group. Michael and Sylveon stepped through, quickly followed by Prof Krane, but something was amiss. After stepping through, the rest of the group would see that they changed colors.

Sylveon was the first to notice this of the trainer/Pokemon duo as Michael's hair was now a hot pink and promptly started laughing. "What's so funny?" he asked as he turned to his Sylveon.. who was now oddly blue. He then turned to Celebi. "Why is my Sylveon blue now?" he asked. "That's because color is perceived differently in this world, which is why your jacket's red and your hair is hot pink," Celebi answered. "that would explain why everything here looks like a discolored version of the world we just came from," Michael observed.

True to his word, if it weren't for the strange colors, looking into Minus World from the other side of the portal would be almost like looking into a mirror.

[Coolshaymin]

"Sorry..." Toon apologized about the running into a wall thing while scratching the back of his head."He's right. Link. You should really be more careful." Seriously, how would running into a wall break it open like this? He has been flung into walls harder than that. Then there were the others that came to help with this task... That guy in green was really big and... straight to the point. Though the word 'shoot' was odd to him. He meant firing an arrow at the bad guys right? Why would an archer need that much armor? That seems like it would make gripping the bow awkward...

Then there was this strange girl that showed up as well. Nothing was really cluing him in to what she was... There was this odd feeling he was getting though that he had no idea what it was. Wasn't anything he was really familiar wit- "Link! Pay attention! You should follow the others!" Aryll called out through the Pirate Charm which shocked Link awake. "Right," Link nodded and jumped into the portal. Wow, where did the color go? "Wow, Big Brother! How did you get your hair to turn red?!" He did what now? Toon Link also wasn't really aware of his yellow Hero Clothes.

Doomguy noted the new arrival, she was... small. That size made him even angrier, but he knew well that if he attacked her, or any of these people, the mushroom headed men wouldn't be happy. If they weren't happy, he couldn't eat, or sleep without fear of being put in a cell. The large, shotgun toting rage-monster simply stepped forward as the portal appeared before them into that alternate reality. He felt himself remaining mostly the same, aside from the fact his armor was now purple, and his visor was orange.

This made him furious, too much, in fact, to handle. "AAAGH! WHY AM I PURPLE?! WHY ARE YOU ALL SO SMALL?! WHAT IS THAT PUPPYCAT THING, AND WHY AM I NOT SHOOTING SOMETHING RIGHT NOW?!" he let out in a furious rage, slamming his weapon onto the ground with significant force. Doomguy, while one of the physically strongest here, was not the most mature, or in control of himself. Right now, he just wanted to maim, shoot, and saw some things. Someone better give him a straight answer, and fast, or this might get messy.

[heirtothemonado]

Midna floated through portal quickly at Celebi's instruction, wary of the angry glances that Doomguy was sending her way. She looked around at the world that she entered, and noted that it looked mostly similar.

Similar, that is, except for color. "Eehehehe, you all look hilarious!" Midna laughed at the others. completely unaware of her maroon hair and the fact that her entire body seem to have gotten even darker.

"Well, the reason why you're purple is because color in Minus World is perceived differently, so you only look purple, and also why everyone else is a different color too. While I can't really offer anything explanations for the other two, I'm naturally this small, and as for the uh... 'puppycat', well that's called a Sylveon, which is a Pokemon just like me. Also there's simply nothing to shoot yet," Celebi offered Doomguy via telepathy. Meanwhile, Sylveon used her feelers in an attempt to calm him down.

"Oh and a Sylveon can also use its feelers to calm others," Celebi added as an afterthought. "Now before we continue, let's do something about that breach," he said as he began to glow a brilliant green. Michael turned to the purple side of the wall to watch as thick vines sprouted from the ground, blocking the portal. "There, that should buy us plenty of time," he stated. "Rewind for a minute. You said color is perceived differently in Minus World, so why do you look like a normal Celebi?" Michael asked. Celebi smirked. "Ah, but I only look like a normal Celebi," he responded.

"Anyway, you see those weird things floating around?" He asked, indicating the creatures he was fighting off before. "Don't touch them. Trust me when I say you'll regret it. You can't hurt them in their current state, but they won't bother you as long as you stay close to me. Some might jump out at you anyway, so stay on guard," he warned.

The toon took a step back with an unamused look at the armored man outburst/ He was not that short for a kid his age, he was the freakishly tall one... Kind of like Ganondorf come to think of it... He didn't look that funny... Did he? The boy took out his mirror shield and just kind of examined himself for a moment in the reflection... Yep, his clothes were a different color... Though how the tall man knew he was was a mystery. He took an additional moment to show Midna her own reflection before putting the mirror shield away.

Though that comment Celebi gave was a little confusing. What could she mean by that? Oh well, that did not matter too much at the moment regardless. "Right, I'll stay on guard," Toon Link confirmed, ready to move on. "So what do we do to fix this? Slay that connection thing?" He asked the Celebi since their goal still hasn't been made especially clear.

[heirtothemonado]

Midna caught her own reflection in Toon Link's shield as he not-so-subtly tilted it her way. She pulled her hair around so she could look at it and sure enough, it was maroon, just as it looked in her reflection. Taking a moment to look at herself, Midna took note that she had changed color along with the rest of her companions, which immediately caused her to stop laughing.

"Wait, wait, hold up." Midna interrupted Celebi. "You never answered Michal's question. If we're all affected by the color changes this world brings, why don't they affect you? What makes you so special that the rules of a world don't apply to you?"  It seems that Midna wasn't about to let Celebi's avoidance slide so easily.

"You also seem to know a lot out about this world for a Pokemon," Prof Krane noted after Midna called out Celebi. "Are you suggesting I shouldn't know so much simply because I'm a Pokemon? Why I should be offended!" Celebi responded to Krane as Michael stared holes through the Time Travel Pokemon. "...You're from this world, aren't you?" he finally asked, having put the pieces together.Sylveon would be mad too had she not been putting together the same puzzle. "Alright, you caught me. I'm about as normal as I would look in your world at least by Celebi standards, and that's because I'm from this world. In fact, I'm the guardian of Minus World," Celebi finally admitted as he began leading the way with Michael, Sylveon, and the Professor following behind.

"So then you actually know exactly what is happening?" Krane questioned. "That's right. The source of all this chaos was actually once our benevolent leader, but these days he isn't as nice as he used to be," Celebi responded. "Chaos?" Michael wondered aloud. "Our world's colors were always this way but..." as soon as Celebi trailed off, they started to pass a building made entirely out of water. "Well, you get the idea," he stated as Sylveon began running one of her feelers through it in curiosity, watching the water ripple while the building still held its shape. "And I thought Li was weird," Michael commented.

[Coolshaymin]

Link just continued following along and looking at the surroundings as the others talked about Celebi and it's possible connection to this world... And evidently they were right in that the Pokemon was from this world and that is why it looked normal... Wait a minute... "Wait, if the world's colors are off with us, why do you look like you do over there? I mean, I'd think your colors would match this world's... Would your colors look different on Li?" Link questioned as he was a bit curious by the odd implications as he apparently was not satisfied by the answer. There was still some odditites to that whole color disorientation thing he was unfamiliar with and trying to wrap his head around.

His eyes wandered over to the building made out of water... Well, this place was definitely not normal by his standards but he was not sure that really spoke for normal. He did not really know how the old Hyrule was before it was flooded after all... in fact he was pretty sure this looked somewhat familiar to that moment when they fought and beat Ganondorf.

[heirtothemonado]

"I see" Midna said thoughtfully as Celebi explained just what exactly was going on. A question floated on the edge of her mind. Was this world more or less stable? "So this chaos....I understand that keeping this world like this wouldn't be possible, but it's not in danger of collapsing while we're here, right?" Midna asked as she ran her hand through the building of water. "Because I would like to get back to Li in one piece when we're done here."

"Actually, I probably look like a blue Celebi on Li," Celebi responded to Toon Link's question, as he looked at Michael's headband, which appeared to be green. "I would say that it has roughly 24 hours left, longer than we can afford to leave the breach open. The only real danger is getting trapped here after we complete the mission, seeing as how taking out what's causing all of this will most likely close the breach," Celebi said thoughtfully. "I may be the Time Travel Pokemon, but I'm not exactly the best at traveling through time. An ordinary Celebi could probably do better in that department, but as long as I don't get taken out, I can take us far enough back to make sure we can all get out."

"And even if you could go back far enough to stop this from happening, you probably didn't have the muscle to pull it off," Prof Krane stated. "Not to mention taking us with you back in time to stop this would probably either cause a paradox or possibly strand us here," Michael pointed out. Celebi nodded thoughtfully. However, before he could say anything else, one of those creatures floated down in front of them, changing shape. It looked like a stormy gray and red fox like creature. One familiar with it would recognize it as a Zorua, but something clearly looked off about it. Celebi frowned at the sight, but was quickly snapped from his thoughts as Sylveon began to growl. "It's taken a physical form to attack us. You should be able to touch it," Celebi informed the group.
