I climbed out from underneath a sheet of metal and saw the amount of destruction Shadow Ultra Necrozma had caused. Far above me I could see the rocky wall of Ten Carat Hill. The ceiling, the crater, it had all collapsed.
Mahina padded up to me and I gave a grim smile. It was only thanks to her that I survived.
I looked up. The Moon shone down on me as the starry heavens lit the sky. I could hear faint sirens that I assumed was from Hau'oli City.
I grimaced and climbed on Mahina's back. "Get us out of here girl."
I looked at the bloodied hand sticking out of the rubble, strands of red hair visible. "Because it's time for me to do my job as the Hero Born of Darkness.

A person watched as Zeno and his Pokémon left. Then they began digging the bloodied form of Cassandra out of the rubble.

Alex, Hau, Robert, Lillie, Hala, Nanu, and Acerola raced through Hau'oli City, following the trail of destruction. The Ultra Beasts were hiding, fear of that "thing" keeping them away.

Acerola shivered. "I've never felt an aura quite like this before, not even from Ghost types."
"It's," Robert said. "It's Ultra Necrozma."
"No," Alex said, shaking her head. "It's him. The Shadow."
Dark malicious laughter rang out through the city. "Yes, yes I am human."
Hala stepped forwards. "I don't care what you are! I'll still send you back from where you came from!"
Nanu's eyes were narrowed. "As will I."
Shadow Ultra Necrozma's eyes flashed a dangerous red. "This should be amusing."
Shadows began to seep from him and stretched towards the group. They all grabbed pokeballs and were about to act when-
