Once they take Zenith to the hospital, the group leaves Amphitrite City and heads toward Narra Town. Once they arrive there, they see a person standing in front of the stairs.
"..." The person looks at them as Ash asks, "Who are you?"
The person didn't answer him, it says, "You look small. Not just you. Your... people. There's just something very fragile about you. It's odd. It's very different. I'm not sure how to describe it."
The person steps forward and says, "You don't know who I am, do you?"
"Who exactly are you?" Gladion starts to feel annoyed, but Arceus is starting to panic. "No..."
"You haven't seen much of us, nor will you- until we make our move. ...I'm sorry. But this is something we need to do. Everything is going just as I predicted. You guys and the mercenary- the fake prophet- we hired took down the Infernal Cult. You took down the Abyssal Cult by yourselves, as well as the Perfection Cult."
The person is staring at the bag where Ash puts his Crystal. "And now, the shards of the Crystal are moving again. Very soon, you will see the true power of that crystal. Of our crystal."
Just then, her body starts to fade away, "...I am really sorry. But it is time for the earth to return to the mirror."
Once the person is gone, Nora asks, "Who is she?"
"No clue..." Ash says. "But she dresses just like Giratina..."
"What is going on here?" Alice asks.
Arceus suddenly shows herself. "She is the SHE that I told you last night..."
"Wait, you mean...the one we are going to protect the crystal from?" Ash asks, "The one who gave Zenith the powers of Mind Control?"
This causes shock to them, and Ash says, "We must take care of the crystal, we can't let the two of them fall into her hands."
"You're right." Nora says.
As they are going to the Narra Border, they bump into an old man.
"Ow...why you little..." Just then, the group gasps as they see the man no other than Malde.
"Grandfather? What are you doing here?" Taen asks. "And more importantly, where are your tentacles?"
"Oh, it's you. I don't like disguising myself, but I was worried about running into someone. I trust your little adventure in the mountains went well? Good. Well, no time to chit-chat." He says, "I am off to Shade Forest."
The word Shade Forest comes across people's minds. Damian says, "That is where the base is, right?"
"Yeah..." Ash says.
"Specifically, a very special place there. Absolutely do not follow me. Not to the only significant area in Shade Forest where you were held captive. Things are happening there that are far too dangerous for your little child's eyes to see."
"Hey, we are grown-ups and we have already disbanded three cults." Zachary says.
"But if, hypothetically, you went anyways...There are some very, very exciting things about to happen." Then Malde teleports away.
"We really need to go there." Nora says as they nod.
On the way back to Darkrai Base, they go to the Midna Town's school first, since Damian and Nora meet the teacher and let her know that they are fine. And the teacher is also proud of them for destroying the cults.
After going into the base, they see Diana and Tobias waiting for them. "So you have come."
"Yeah, Diana, did you see two people looking like Deoxys here?" Emily asks.
