Desmond watched in awe as Omega hovered in front of him. He could almost feel the burning heat from his feathers sink into his skin. "I know what you must be thinking," said Omega. "There's no need to fear me,"
"What do you need from me?" asked Desmond.
"I was listening to your little conversation," said Omega. "And I want to thank you," He turned to face Giovanni and the others with a calm look. "I have decided," said Omega.
"My lord?" asked Giovanni.
"I can see it," said Omega. "This one has potential,"
"Wait you don't mean?" asked Mavis. Omega gave a slow nod and then turned toward Desmond once more.
"Let me present you with these," said Omega. Desmond shielded his eyes as the rainbow jewel on Omega's forehead began to glow. Three orbs of light slowly emerged and hovered over to Desmond before expanding and revealing three items. Desmond took one look at the items and looked up at Omega. "Go on, take them," said Omega calmly. Desmond stepped forward. He hesitated but reached in and picked up the first item. It appeared to be a folded piece of black cloth. Once he removed the item, the orb of light vanished. Curious, he unfolded the cloth to reveal a large black cloak. Surprised he looked up at Omega who nodded. He carefully slipped the cloak on and faced Lilith.
"How do I look?" he asked.
"Like a hero," said Lilith. Smiling he turned around and reached into the second orb. Grabbing onto the second item, he pulled it out revealing a black scabbard.
"A sword?" asked Desmond.
"Not just any sword," said Omega. "Draw it," Desmond grabbed the hilt and drew the sword causing it to ignite and burst into flames. Desmond yelped as he dropped the buster sword onto the ground. "Calm down, it's made to do that," said Omega calmly. Desmond reached over and picked up the sword once more and held it up. "This sword is crafted out of the most powerful magic in all of Ultra World," explained Omega. "Made using obsidian and my fire magic, this buster sword can cut through even the thickest steel,"
"Amazing," said Luther. Desmond returned the sword into it's scabbard and slung it over his shoulder. He then turned to the final item and pulled it out. It appeared to be some sort of small visor.
"Is this?" asked Desmond.
"Indeed it is," said Omega. "I should probably mention that there is a power button on the right side of the lens. Desmond turned it onto the right side and saw a small power button. "Just tap it and it should activate," said Omega. Desmond placed his finger over the power button as it whirred to life. He slowly lifted it and over his eyes. The inside of the visor had a screen but remained black.
"Um my lord, I can't really see anything," said Desmond.
"Patience my friend, they should reveal themselves to you any moment," said Omega.
"They?" asked Desmond. At that moment the screen went from black to green as an outline of a person appeared on the left side of the screen. The outline quickly began filling itself in to reveal a young girl with short purple hair and sparkling blue eyes. She appeared to be wearing a white headband and a black cloak that closely resembled his.
"Hi there!" she giggled. "You must be Desmond right?"
"Yes I am," said Desmond.
"Well nice to meet you, my name is Ritsu, I'll be your guide from here on out," she said.
"My guide?" asked Desmond.
"I'll help you out by pulling up maps and scanning areas you need to inspect quickly," explained Ritsu. "Nice working with you,"
"Same here," said Desmond. Suddenly, the outline of a second person appeared and began coloring itself in to reveal the floating head of what appeared to be another young girl. She had short brown hair and eyes of the same color.
"Um hello, are you Desmond?" asked the girl.
"Yes that's me," answered Desmond.
"Oh nice to meet you, I'm Alter Ego," said the girl.
"Are you another guide?" asked Desmond.
"Um yeah maybe, I'm only good at hacking though," said Alter Ego.
"I suppose I ask you if I need to crack a code or something," said Desmond.
"Yes, that's right," said Alter Ego.
"Well it's nice working with you," said Desmond. Just then, the outline of a third figure appeared on the right. Except this time it wasn't a person. The outline colored itself in revealing a red square ending with the curve at the top. It had two arms in the shape of electric bolts and small stubby legs at the bottom. A small spike protruded at the top and two in the center was a small blue screen. Above the screen was two white ovals with blue smaller ovals inside the white ovals.
"Hiya, you're Desmond right?" it asked.
"Yeah," said Desmond.
"Nice to meet ya, I'm called the Rotom Dex, but you can call me Rotom," it said.
"Rotom, eh?" asked Desmond. "And I assume you'll be giving me information on Pokemon?"
"Wow you're good," said Rotom. "That's right, if you need any information on Pokemon, I'll help you out,"
"Great," said Desmond.
"Well that looks like all of us," said Ritsu.
"What just the three of you?" asked Desmond.
"For now yes," said Alter Ego.
"I see," said Desmond.
"So you must've met your three guides yes?" asked Omega. Desmond removed the visor and looked up at Omega.
"Yes my lord," said Desmond.
"Well then I suppose you should begin your task," said Omega. "As for me, I must be going as well,"
"Wait, we will meet again right?" asked Desmond.
"Maybe we will, maybe we won't only time will tell," said Omega. "But remember this, whether we meet again or not, as long as you're determined, then you won't even need to see me," Desmond smiled. "I love that look, I wish you luck Desmond Docks," said Omega. He flapped his wings as he ascended towards the heavens and vanished in a flash of light. Desmond looked over to Giovanni as he approached him.
"Do you think you can get started?" asked Giovanni.
"No need to wait right?" asked Desmond. Giovanni chuckled.
"Of course not," said Giovanni. "Now I received word from the nearby village saying that U.S.E. was causing trouble, I need you to go investigate,"
"Right away," said Desmond.
"Just go ask our two security guards, Caroline and Justine, to let you out," said Giovanni.
"Understood," said Desmond. "Let's go Lilith,"
"Good luck you're going to need it," said Giovanni. Desmond and Lilith turned and walked towards the door where two silver haired girls in security uniforms were waiting.
"So Caroline and Justine from Persona 5 eh?" asked Desmond.
"Hmm you're very sharp kid, I like it," said Justine.
"You remember the password?" asked Caroline.
"I've learned it from Lilith," said Desmond.
"Good Luck," they said in unison as they opened the double doors. Desmond and Lilith looked at each other, smiled and walked out the door. Their adventure had begun.
