There stood the home of Shiya Kirigaya, quaint, quiet, seemingly just another normal house among the many that populated Brightwing Lane... and yet something else seemed off about it. On this day, the entirety of the street seemed to be empty for some reason, an eerily silent wind whistled through the air as trees and plants alike wavered to its whim. At every odd minute, a strange blueish-green glow seemed to issue through the windows placed at the house's front, its light filtering through the cracks in the drawn blinds and lending even more to the creepy nature.
At least, that was the scene that our brave time travelers were briefed to expect upon arriving in this time period. Right after being given their past-packs, each filled with one of the many chaos emeralds Li had to offer (some even similarly colored!), the group had been quickly debriefed by everyone favorite problematic (Supreme) Toad officer!"Alrighty noobs. Remember, this Shiya sucker is a wily menace, so don't let your guards down for a second around him!" The officer squeaked, pacing back and forth like a drill sergeant--though his snacking on the pink, sprinkled donut clenched in his hand between sentences didn't quite reinforce that image. "I won't be able to contact or send aid once you're out there. We'll be operating under total radio silence, so don't screw it up! The life sphere quite literally depends on it."
"If you hit your mark, you should be deposited right outside the scumbag's house just a few minutes after the original team, let's call them 'Team P' for Past, heads inside. Under no circumstances do you let yourself be seen by, let alone engage with Team P. I don't think I need to clarify why explaining this situation to your past self-" He eyed Pit. "-or trying to reason with that loose-cannon with the portal gun in such a high-stakes situation could get ugly fast. All you need to focus on is finding Shiya, then snagging him and high-tailing it out of there! The sub-objective's just that: under the objective. If things go south, forget it entirely."
As the past packs activated, the Supreme Toad Officer would rub his chin in thought while munching away at another untouched donut where did he even get that?. Just moments before everyone was zapped away though, he abruptly piped up. "OH RIGHT! And under no circumstances can you bring him back BEFORE Team P d-" Unfortunately, they wouldn't get to hear the rest of his sentence before being whisked away into the timestream.
Which brings us now to the present--er, past? Pit, Doppelganger Arle, and Mimi would find themselves standing on a sidewalk in the Brightwing Lane of the life sphere. No chaos, no unleashed mega-starvia, it was for all intents and purposes a peaceful evening out... Well, until they looked across the street at what used to be a picturesque home. Instead the door was wide-open, one of the front windows was busted open with jagged shards of glass lining its frame, and ominously flashing red beams of light poking out of every opening to the building.
And so the party from the future was now left to their own devices. How they proceeded from this point onward would need to be carefully planned; for who knows what horrors awaited them at this obviously dangerous historical site.

“...” Shin!Arle looked around before deciding that the trap door with the blaring alarms was probably enough of a red flag to prioritize before the rest of the house. She felt a bit uneasy with Pit following that closely behind her, but she chalked that up to not being used to working closely with others and decided not to comment on it. Instead, she moved and began to descend down the trap door to check down what was going on down there, leisurely floating through the air like a ghost.
