Home (3rd Person Pov)

Gaea, Rayquaza and Tamamo entered the room with Gaea closing the door behind them, Rayquaza looked across the room noticing Aether leaning against the window sill, Himeko sat up on one of the couches and Yasaka sat on the opposite couch 

Rayquaza: So she's finally awakened, huh

Yasaka: Yes, this is Himeko Murata a civilian of Kyoto also known to be the Ruler of the Flame 

Rayquaza: I see... so this is the one that Mei was sent to retrieve 

Aether's fingers twitched upon hearing what Rayquaza just stated, he lifted his head slightly and gazed across the room analyzing each and every being 

Aether: (It seems they all knew exactly where Mei had gone)

As he crossed his arms Aether's grip on his own biceps tightened to the point he was almost cutting off his own blood flow 

Yasaka: Right let's not waste any more time, I want you to tell me exactly what happened over there, Himeko

Himeko: ...It began when I was first sent out there, I managed to retrieve the sword but I was captured in the process

Yasaka: By Euthanasia, am I right?

Himeko: ...Yeah, we fought for days but it eventually got to a point where they overpowered me but... for some reason they didn't take my power at all...

Himeko gripped the couch trying to contain her anger then released a sigh 

Himeko: They told me that they were using me to drag Mei out to meet them 

Tamamo: I see... so they anticipated that Mei would be the one to come... but why did they wait for her?

Himeko: They said that they needed Mei's powers in order to have a counter to Kyogre's Chikara 

Yasaka: They're targeting Kyogre now, huh... just what are they planning?

Himeko: They said they were planning on creating a new universe 

Yasaka: What?

Himeko: I don't understand it myself but she said she wants a place where all her ideals will come to light

Tamamo: An entirely new universe... it's certainly possible if you steal the power of every powerful being in this world...

Aether: Nevermind that!

Everyone turned towards Aether who now stood standing straight 

Aether: What about Mei? Where's Mei?

Himeko looked at Aether then looked down at the ground in sadness and guilt 

Aether: Come on tell me!

Tamamo: Aether...

Tamamo was about to walk over to Aether but was stopped by Yasaka who shook her head in a manner that told her to just let it play out

Himeko: I'm... afraid Mei has gone and died in battle

Aether widened his eyes as he stumbled back, he slowly began to tremble as his arms fell to his sides

Aether: W-What?

Tamamo looked at Yasaka who shook her head then turned back to Aether with a sympathetic look plastered across her face
