Kurayami walked down the hallway of the temple, a few magic torches along the walls provided some dim light. Behind him, a translucent grey orb with two black eyes covered in black flames followed, a Warp Drone. Floating in the creature was a an intricately made silver hilt. Attached to the hilt was what seemed to be a piece of obsidian from a larger blade. "Come out Darkness, you can't hide forever!" Kurayami called as he walked, "What? You don't want to join your friend Hatred? It doesn't matter. I'll find you." Behind him, the Warp Drone watched the walls trying to help look for the Nightmare being hiding in the shadows. Kurayami then reached the end of the hallway and the expanse of a large rotunda lay infront of him. Before stepping in, he called out once again, "Quit your stalling! If you come out, I'll make sure the energy drain won't hurt... Much..." The Purple Yoshi looked at his right claw, held it up, clenched it into a fist, and opened it again. Then, without warning, he drove his claw into the shadowed wall to his right! Instead of making a hole in the wall, Kurayami's claw went into the shadow and caught hold of something. He pulled his claw out and along with it came a humanoid wearing a black assassin outfit. "Found you." Kurayami spoke as he harshly threw Darkness into the middle of the rotunda. "You know, for the Nightmare of Darkness, you do a bad job at consealing yourself..." "Actions speak louder than words," Darkness replied with a raspy, demonic voice. "Yes they do." retorted the Eclipse Demon Yoshi as he swiftly pounced onto Darkness, the sharp claws on his feet and hands digging deep into the flesh of the Nightmare's shoulders and legs. Darkness then attempted to attack with one of his obsidian daggers, an attempt in vain. Before the dagger got close to hitting, Darkness' arms fell limp as Kurayami wrenched his claws through his shoulders. Black blood spurted everywhere as Kurayami tore the Nightmare's arms right off, throwing them to the sides. Signs of strain appeared in Darkness' face as he tried to do sometthing... "Can't regenerate? Awww... Too bad." Kurayami commented as the Warp Drone flew closer, bring the hilt with it. "You may return my essence to that sword, but you'll never be able to find the others. Rage, Fear, Greed, and Chaos have long since left your realm." Darkness retorted, spitting black blood onto the Yoshi's nose, "following me was your biggest mistake." The Warp Drone flew even closer and the Nightmare cried in pain as his strength diminished more, his essence being drawn into the hilt. "They'll be eliminated eventually... It is all a matter of time. After all, I can sense their powers within a galaxy's radius." Kurayami said while draining Darkness' energy, black auras forming around his claws, which were now deep in the Nightmare's chest. Darkness quickly disintegrated, his remains turining into sparks of energy that seeped into both Kurayami and the hilt. The Eclipse Demon Yoshi then got up, no trace of black blood on him at all, and proceeded to leave the temple. The Warp Drone followed behind, still holding the sworld hilt, now with a large obsidian piece than before...

--- Five and a half Years Later ---

The Spectrum continued on it's course Nimbus, with Naaro, Rynn, Kai, Vector, and Crux back aboard. As for the Andromeda, they removed supplies from it and kept the ship floating in tow behind the Spectrum. Merlin stayed docked to the train riding in its draft. The group was waiting once again, and getting very bored. Kyanosa was even allowed to do some of his crazy antics for once, as long as he didn't blow up the train or critically injure anyone. There was no sign of Richter trailing them or any fighters (Lorel's advanced fighter is still cloaked and following though) and the Essence of Evil had not been causing any problems either... It was quiet... Too quiet...

Yoshi6400 and Sapphire were in their cabin, back in their normal Yoshi forms and outfits. 6400 was lying down in his lover's lap, looking up at her as she played with his "spikes" of hair. In his hand, he held a peculiar glass marble rolling it around in his palm. The green Yoshi didn't know how it appeared to him, but he did know Kyanosa would probably want it. "But when should I give it to him?" he asked himself in his mind as Sapphire continued to run her hands along his hair. Suddenly, he felt a tug at his hair. "What'cha thinking about Brian?" Sapphire asked as she looked down at the Yoshi she loved...

Before 6400 could answer, the door to the cabin opened a bit and Crux popped in, Kai crawling slowly behind. Yoshi6400 sat up and looked at the two of them. "So, how are you two doing? Hmmm?" Kai smiled and babbled a bit while Crux just sat there staring at the two Yoshies. "Awww, how cute..." Sapphire said as she got up and knelt down in front of them. Kai started crawling closer and Sapphire picked him up and held him in her arms. Crux, on the other hand, backed away a bit but she eventually changed her mind and went up to Sapphire as well. 6400 pocketed the marble in a magic item bag strapped to his belt (It's small and light, but It can hold a TON of stuff) and pulled out a hexagonal device with a "Yoshi6400 Productions" symbol engraved on the side. The device was essentially had two distinguishable parts, a thick hexagonal ring with splits in it attached to a metal ring within it. The metal ring had a smaller ring in it and those were attached by two metal rods, across from each other. This was one of 6400's inventions, the PokéGate. A simple way to call out a Pokémon companion who prefers to be free. "Tamashii, let's have some fun!" Yoshi6400 called as he tossed the device into the air, the pieces of the hexagonal ring splitting off and spreading out, forming a portal between them. The PokéGate floated in mid air, with the portal open, until a white furry creature with purple markings floated through. Then the device deactivated, compacted and returned back to 6400. "Mew?" it asked as it landed down on the ground and looked around. "Hey Tamashii, how are you doing?" asked Sapphire as she held Kai and petted Crux at the same time.
Tamashii walked up to Sapphire, sat beside her, then looked towards Crux. "Mew meew?" he said, still looking. Crux then padded up to him, sat down, looked, and finally poked Tamashii with her tail. Tamashii replied with a "Mew?" and poked back with his tail. The Mew and Bron then sat there for a while exchanging tail pokes until they both fell over giggling(or the equivalent). Yoshi6400 then sat on the floor beside Sapphire and suggested that Airashii may like to join in as well. Sapphire then pulled out a PokéGate out of her own and soon another Mew was in the room floating around.
The pink mew then sat herself down beside her white boyfriend and gave him a big hug. Tamashii smiled and hugged her back. Airashii then noticed the blue Bron sitting the looking at them... "Mew!" she said as she suddenly turned blue and smiled. Crux then smiled back and she used her weather abilities to make a ball of ice. Then she rolled it across the floor towards Tamashii... Tamashii caught it and rolled it to Airashii and she rolled it back to Crux... They all smiled. As the Mews and the Bron played, Yoshi6400 and Sapphire sat and watched, eventually letting Kai join in the "Roll da ball" game.

"Brian, what were you thinking about before? And, don't tell me that it's nothing." Sapphire asked. 6400 then pulled out the marble once again, "Well, I found this in my hand after we returned to the Spectrum... It looks like one of those marbles that Kyanosa has been looking for." "Ooh... Pretty... It's shiny..." Sapphire said, looking at the sparkling glass sphere, "Uh... are you going to give that to Kyanosa?" "It's not a matter of if... It's a matter of when." 6400 replied. "His arm's still broken, right? well, I could test out the new Jewel Capsule I made for bone mending before you give it to him..." Sapphire said, a smile appearing on her face. She then pulled out a small, translucent, maroon capsule that was in the shape of a water droplet. Tamashii noticed the capsule and shuddered, remembering what one of those did to his fur. "No, it's not for you Tamashii." Sapphire said, "You can go back to playing." "I guess it should be easy enough to give that to Kyanosa, so shall we go and do that?" 6400 asked Sapphire as she eyed the capsule carefully. "But what about Kai and Crux? They can't be left here all alone." Just then Mazzic walked in starting to say "Have you seen..." until he saw the Bron and Baby on the floor playing with the Mews. "Well, that answered my question. Naaro and Rainy have been looking all over for them." Mazzic said, leaving the room. Soon after, Naaro cane and picked up Kai and Rainy came for Crux, leaving the two Mews and a melting ice ball for the Yoshies to deal with. Yoshi6400 then pulled out his PokéGate and he let Tamashii and Airashii jump through, returning back to where they came from. Then he and Sapphire left the room to go see Kyanosa.

Kyanosa sat in his room recovering from the massive energy drain on him from forming that mirror shield. He lay there on his bed flicking his yo-yo with his good arm, a small table placed nearby with a pile of snacks on it. He felt much better, knowing that he saved everyone on the train from utter destruction, with Yoshi6400's help of course. At that point in time, he had a good purpose... But now, he was really drained because of that purpose... Then he heard a knock on the door and wondered who it was. "Is it safe to come in?" asked a familiar voice on the other side. "Yeah, you won't get blown up... This time." Kyanosa replied jokingly, still doing some tricks with his yo-yo. Sapphire and 6400 walked into the room and greeted him, sitting at the seats adjacent to the bed. "Erum... Kyanosa, would you be willing to try something that is a bit... well... experimental?" Sapphire asked holding up the maroon colored Jewel Capsule. "It depends. What is it?" he replied as he pulled off a "Zero-Gravity Sleeper" with his yo-yo. "It should be a magic pill that can heal broken bones... Like your arm. But, I don't know if it'll work how it should yet." Sapphire said. Kyanosa then put away his yo-yo and Sapphire tossed him the capsule. He looked at carefully, watching the sparkly material inside move around as he tilted it this way and that. "I don't know... Sounds really risky." he finally said. 6400 then took out something that Kyanosa immediately recognised. "How about a deal? I'll give this to you if you take it." said the green Yoshi with a smile. Kyanosa looked towards the marble, then back to the capsule, then to the marble, and so on mumbling "No capsule, no side effects, but... no wing marble." After a few minutes worth of that, Kyanosa suddenly popped the capsule in his mouth and swallowed it. He then reached out to grab the marble... He was in so much of a rush that he didn't even know that he was using his broken arm, the one in a cast. After Yoshi6400 placed the marble in his hand, he finally noticed it. "Hey, my arm... It doesn't hurt anymore!" he exclaimed, taking off the cast. Sapphire's Jewel Capsule worked, without side effects as well. Kyanosa then jumped out of bed and gave the two Yoshies a hug before running out the door, wanting to show people the new powers he had gotten.

A few people were still hanging about, some because they wanted to watch and laugh and some who honestly didn't know exactly what was about to explode, but heck if that was going to stop him. He stood, gathered his courage and activated the Wing power. Instantly, a pair of wings sprouted from his back and grew, forming an excellent frame for an unually peaceful-looking Kyanosa. They expanded until he had a wingspan of about seven feet, casting a slight shadow over everybody in the room. He flapped them once, testing their power, and as pleased to find that they would allow him to soar about with minimal difficulty. He opened his eyes and looked at them. "Ah, cripes." The wings were made of bright pink feathers with sea green edges. He quickly started mixing it with others, if for no other reason than to be rid of the color. Since yo-yo was one of his favorites, he started off with that. His wings shimmered, and every feather changed shape and became pointy. He looked at them, wondering when he had gotten needle power. They didn't weigh any more, but it looked like they could cut things, but that was distinctly un yo-yoish. At that moment, one of the feathers shot out of the wing, attached to a wire that resembled a metal rod. It went out about three feet until it stopped, then retracted just as quickly, the wire as taut as ever. Also at that moment, Sapphire came through the nearby door holding a glass of...well, something. The feather just happened to move in her direction and smashed right into her glass, shattering it. She stood there, looking at her liquid-covered hand (don't worry, it's not blood; I already did that bit) and gaping. She looked at Kyanosa, then her hand, then did that twice more before sighing and leaving from whence she came. Kyanosa made a small mental note, deactivated his wings, and left to return to resting in his room.

The Spectrum continued on course to Nimbus, a few other events happening on the train as time passed. Then a few hours later, a purple energy streak passed by the Spectrum folled by a grey one. 6400 recognized the energy pattern immediately... Kurayami Yoshi. But, there was a problem. The energy from the grey streak contained immense dark power... "Could that have been a Creation's Weapon?" he thought as he got out and ran out of the room, going to look for CR. 6400 met up with him in the engine room and he looked into the situation, seeing Kurayami headed for a nearby planetoid. Behind him followed one of his loyal warp drones, with something inside it. "I'm not sure 6400, it might be a Creation's Weapon. But, it might not. I guess we should go there and find out... Omega!" "Already on it," Omega replied, beginning to change course. Moments later, the train landed in a clearing on a lush jungle covered planetoid. Rainy and a bunch of others asked why they made a stop, only to be answered with a "There's something here that has to be checked out." from either 6400 or CR.

6400 stepped out of the Spectrum looking around. "Where are you Kurayami..." he thought, trying to sense the evil Yoshi's energy. CR stepped out as well, slightly confused. "There's something else on this planet, its energy field is actually blocking my view like a black fog." he said to 6400, "That's a first for me." "Is there any way to tell where Kurayami or that thing is?" 6400 asked with a slightly concerned tone. "I can slightly through the blackness, It seems the dark energy source is headed this way and Kurayami is trailing behind it with an equally dark source." Sapphire then came out and joined the two. "What's wrong Brian?" she asked as he unsheathed his sword. "Saphy, get inside and get a bunch of peeps except Kyanosa out here," he replied, "there's something headed this way." Sapphire nodded and later came out of the Spectrum with Mazzic, Jaded, Scilas, Rainy, Prism, and Ian. Kyanosa was still recovering from the extensive use of the Mirror Shield, Naaro and Rynn were talking care of Kai, and everyone else stayed inside as backup. There was no point in sending out everyone all at once, especially if they didn't know what was headed their way. Without warning, some trees at the edge of the clearing all shook and toppled, a muscular grey being wearing blood red plates of armor hammering through. On the being's hands were obsidian gauntlets, one with the Pandoran symbol for anger inset in gold on it. Nobody recognized it at all... Except CR. "Oh my... How did... It's Rage, one of the dark leaders in the War of Six Nightmares. This guy is even before my time... When I was young he and the other five Nightmares were long gone and only only seen in textbooks. This is not a good thing." he said, just looking at Rage as he stomped closer to the group and the Spectrum. Rage then stopped a fair distance away from the group and the Spectrum and he slammed the ground with one of his fists. The ground shook and split open, a deep crack stretching across the whole clearing separating him from them. "Who wants to cross the line and try his or her luck?" Rage asked, purple tubes going through his arms and legs pulsating, "I know you've come for my energy. You're not going to get it." Mazzic, Scilas, and Jaded were the first three to step forth Scilas and Jaded pulling out their weapons. The three of them dashed at high speeds at the Nightmare disappeared and appeared behind him... The delayed sound of slashes and punches then followed with multiple slash wounds and bruises appearing on Rage after. Rage turned around, black blood seeping from his wounds, and slamed Jaded into the forest with a single punch. "Is that the best you can do?" he growled as Mazzic and Scilas dodged around avoiding his attacks. Jaded then jumped at Rage from out of the forest and swung his sword HARD. The blade cleaved right through his left shoulder and downwards into the Nightmare's chest. To Jaded's surprise, Rage just grabbed him and tossed him and his sword aside, still ignoring his wounds. Yoshi6400 then took his turn, running at the Nightmare, launching fireballs out of his left palm. Rage ignored the fireballs and continued to attack the two assassins. After dodging another punch, Mazzic rolled behind Rage and punched him a few more times in the back. "You'll all die!" Rage yelled, reaching behind and grabbing Mazzic. Scilas didn't have a chance to dodge as Rage threw Mazzic at him and Rage then slammed both of them to the ground. 6400 noticed him raise both of his fists, preparing to slam them again and quickly tackled him. Before Rage could get up and retaliate, he was blasted into the woods by an energy shot, a star, and a lightning bolt. Ian held the Quicksilver, Prism held a star formed of energy and, Rainy's hands were surrounded by electric bolts. The group regathered, Sapphire healing Mazzic, Scilas, and Jaded up with her powers.

From the woods, another fight could be heard and a purple Yoshi, or what seemed to be a Yoshi was tossed into the clearing, his left arm dislocated and broken in several places. Following the Yoshi was a translucent grey orb with two black eyes covered in black flames with what seemed to be a sword hilt inside of it. Rage then walked back in and to the group's horror, his wounds were all healing at an exponential rate. The smaller slashes were healed and the large wound made by Jaded was sealing up and fast. "Bring it on." the Nightmare said with a smile. The purple Yoehi got up and looked towards Rage, then to 6400 who was now standing beside him. "What are you doing here Kurayami?" asked 6400 as Rage stepped closer to the two of them. "If we survive this battle, and I don't kill you, I'll tell you... Okay?" he replied, holding out his right claw and blasting Rage back with a shot of dark energy. Yoshi6400 and Kurayami then dodged out of the way as another energy shot, a star, and lightning bolt set was shot at the Nightmare. Rage took the hits and laughed, but his laughs were cut short when he noticed that his healing speed was slowing down. The Warp Drone floated near the Nightmare the energy field from the sword hilt limiting his powers. "Now! Keep him busy!" Kurayami yelled as he ran up to Rage and jumped onto his back. The demon Yoshi then dug his right claw into the Nightmare and began to absorb his energy, making some previously sealed wounds on the Nightmare reopen and begin to seep black blood. Rage couldn't reach Kurayami, but he did the next best thing, he fell backwards smashing Kurayami into the ground and landing on him. The Nightmare then stomped on each of Kurayami's legs, preventing the Yoshi from getting up.

Vector watched from inside the Spectrum, realized that his speed would be an asset, and he ran to the door. He was just about to go out and help until he heard a "What about me? I want to fight!" from the com system... It was Merlin. "You always want to fight," Vector replied, "even in times where your abilities aren't that useful... Well, I'm going." And at that, he zipped out the door. "Oh, yeah... Go ahead and leave me all alone stuck to this big shiny train while you get to fight." Merlin mumbled (or tried his best to with his artificial voice)

A blue streak zipped from the Spectrum and around Rage a few times. The Nightmare tried attacking it but he was waaay too slow. The blue streak then tripped him and stopped a distance away, revealing that it was Vector. "You're fast, but I'm sure that speed is all that you have... I wonder what will happen if I snap your legs off like twigs?" growled Rage. "Catch me first." replied Vector, preparing to dash again. Suddenly, a fighter flew out of cloak and fired a couple of shots in front of Vector, preventing him from dashing forward and then fired away at Rage, raining laser fire down on him. Then the fighter returned into cloak. In this attack, Sapphire threw a maroon capsule to Kurayami followed by a "Just swallow it!" comment. Kurayami swallowed the Jewel Capsule and the bones in his left arm and legs immediately regenerated. Then he jumped onto Rage(who was now being occupied by fire from 6400, Ian, Prism, and Rainy) once again and continued to drain his energy. "You... Can't... Defeat... Me! This is impossible!" Rage yelled, his body beginning to disintegrate and absorb into Kurayami and the sword hilt. "Aaaarrrrgh!" Rage was no more. All that remined of him now was an addition to the obsidian in the sword hilt. Kurayami then walked towards 6400, "Thanks for the help, reminded me a bit of old times... But not enough to make me good again." Kurayami hissed, "and if you wanted to know, I was after Rage's energy. Unfortunately, I underestimated his extreme strength and I was forced to accept help." The Yoshi then turned and walked into the jungle. Mazzic, Jaded, Scilas, Prism, and Ian returned to the train, feeling better because they had something to do instead of sitting around. Vector looked up to the sky and wondered where that fighter came from and he eventually returned to the Spectrum as well. "Why'd you heal him Saph?" 6400 asked once everyone was back in the Spectrum. "I just couldn't heave him there just to suffer. Good or evil, it doesn't matter. Anyways, he just helped us defeat Rage." Sapphire replied as she stepped into the Spectrum. She then turn to look at 6400 "Hurry up, you don't want to be left behind..." she said with a smile. Yoshi6400 nodded and followed her in.

"Um... Where's CR?" Omega asked the passengers as he looked around for him, "we can't leave without the resident Rip Watcher..." "I'm here" CR said, just entering the Spectrum "and I brought a new addition to our group. He's standing outside at this moment." Everyone looked out the window and standing outside was someone they never expected to see... Kurayami. "Before you say anything, I should tell you all that he knows the location of a Creation's Weapon... Or to be specific, how to complete it. I've convinced him that we can help him get what he needs if he joins us on our journey. Then when he completes the weapon, we'll get it from him." Everyone acknowledged CR's idea and they allowed Kurayami to come in, but they were all sure to have some kind of problem in the future... Once again, the Spectrum took off into the depths of space, with the Andromeda in tow.

*How long has it been since I've had food* Sapphire's stomach growled at her thoughts. "Brian how long has it been since either of us has eaten, because I think I heard my stomach growl." "Ummmmm...I'm not sure" Just then, 6400's stomach growled as well. "eh heh heh heh" he said as that happened. "I heard there was a kitchen on the train, do you know where it is?" "Yeah I think so...even though I haven't seen it, it's probably around somewhere... shouldn't be too hard to find" "Maybe we should make something for everyone...coz I'm sure its not just us with growling tummys" Said Sapphire getting up "Yeah...and I could do with some food" said Brian getting up with her. "And I'll help ya make it too!" Sapphire and Yoshi6400 eventually found the kitchen and got busy making the chow mein that Sapphire had suggested while they were looking for the kitchen. "Hey Brian, think everyone will eat chow mein?" "Yeah I guess... Not sure." "But what about those erum robots...Ratch and Omega...I think those were their names" "Yeah those were their names...and I guess I could give them cans of liquid plasma." "Oh...okay" After Sapphire finished peeling carrots, she cut them up and then started on cutting up some green beans. 6400 had just finished curring up the chicken and was selecting the noodles they would need. "Hey Saphy think these ones would be okay..." Brian said showing her a large packet of dried yellowish colored noodles. "Yeah those would work" Sapphire said back to him while finishing off the bean cutting. Sapphire then went looking for a can of pre-cut mushrooms. After finding them she set off looking for a large wok and plastic spatula to mix the ingreidents together. Yoshi6400 brought all the ingreidents over to where Sapphire was setting up to cook, them and dumped them all in after the noodles. After twenty minutes of frying and cooking the chow mein was done. Yoshi6400 then set about looking for plates and forks with the help of Ian, while Sapphire called everyone to eat. Everyone except the two robots came to lunch. Naaro finished early, mentioning something about preparing to leave for Yoshin and walked to the passenger compartment. Rynn followed him soon after with Kai in her arms.

After eating his fill, Yoshi6400 left the kitchen to get the robots the cans of plasma. He walked into the cargo hold at the very back of the train, looking around through all the crates for what he was looking for. Eventually, he found what he was looking for and he stuffed a few cans in his item bag. Then he noticed something else... There were a few boxes off to the side pushed into a corner and there seemed to be a gap between them. "Hmmm... What have we here?" he thought as he knelt down and looked into the gap. The Yoshi reached in and pulled out some things that seemed very familiar and he got up and walked back to the door carrying them. He then returned to where everyone else was having lunch. (except Naaro, Kai, and Rynn) 6400 then tossed two cans to each robot and placed something on the table... "CR, would you kindly explain where these came from? They're Multehx's aren't they?" he asked.

On the table, 6400 had placed a pair of metalloy boots.
