We went Deep into the Cave.

When we spotted the Split Path, we went Left instead of Right, where Mare used to reside.

I had to carry Mare, since she couldn't exactly walk, as well as had to use "Light" to light our way, since Oshawott- Or rather, Blade, couldn't see in the Dark like me and her could.

And after reaching the end of the Left Side...

They stared in Amazement.

They didn't make a sound, at a Loss for Words from the Beautiful Sight they were witnessing for the first time

The Cave Filled with Crystals was Glittering and Gleaming, shining Brightly despite the Sheer Darkness of the Cave behind us.

"...I found this place after meeting Mare. I couldn't believe my eyes either... It really is a beautiful sight..." I said.

"...Like Stars..." Mare murmured.

"...What is that?" Blade pointed at the Destroyed Crystal.

"That? ...That's where I found the Sky Plate, trapped within the Crystal. Breaking it was a pain, though..." I explained.

"You broke it? ...I don't remember seeing you with any Tools..." Oshawott tried recalling...

...I looked away to avoid explaining.

...And when I did...

I spotted something different.

...A Pattern was imbedded inside one of the Crystals.

"...What is this?" I walked over.

Placing Mare down, she began exploring the Cave, moving similarly to a Turtle as she began sliding across the stone floor and inspecting the various Gems and Crystals that littered the Walls just like Blade was.

The Crystal with the Pattern inside of it was a Sea Blue Color, almost similar to Blue Flames.

...And the Pattern inside of it was something I recognized at a glance.

'A... Mega Stone Pattern!?'

Grabbing the Crystal, I tried to pry it off the Wall.

...But, as usual, the Crystal didn't budge even a little bit.

<Strengthening>
<Armor Break>

Without Hesitation, I swung at Full Force at the Crystal.

It Cracked with the First Swing, then completely broke off with the Second, landing at my feet.

I blew on my hands a but to relieve some of the pain, and lifted the Crystal.

'...You're kidding.'

Before I could think more about it, I heard a collision sound coming from my right.

Looking over, I saw Blade cutting a Crystal off the Wall.

...With surprising Ease.

"...What are you doing?" I asked, shoving the Mega Stone to the back of my mind.
