AHH, W-WAIT, ATMOS!! th-these are friends! they helped me chase away one of the more dangerous aliens before!

so those big beams before... that was their doing? how do you know you can trust them?

that was me specifically, earthling! and don’t lump us in with that eye eater, we were actually helping, unlike you.

yeah! we’re certified heroes!!

never mind that! whatever you’re fighting here is much more powerful than it looks, i could sense its energy from miles away!

then it’s a good thing you’re here so we can fight together!

no way, we should get out of here for now with all this fog. come on, let’s take shelter on your friend’s ship.

[like a damaged tape recording, a memory flashes though uri’s head, faded and blurry. they’ve seen something like this before. through the fog and light, something reaching out from the depths, and then-

watch where you’re firing, citizen! i almost got hit by that!

uh, s-sorry, that wasn’t me! a-anyways, you should really go, it’s dangerous!

what’s wrong? are you in danger??

ah, that’s... well, i have someone here helping me, but i also wanted to warn you that something dangerous started following my ship, and to be careful if you stop by. actually, maybe you should just steer clear since it’s from ultra space and we don’t know what it can do--

A VILLAIN FROM ULTRA SPACE?! DON’T WORRY CITIZEN, HELP IS ON THE WAY!!

as far as i know, eye eaters have been around longer than ultra beasts. you always hear horror stories about eye eaters, and ultra beasts started showing up much, much later. maybe this one was drawn to the eye eater’s power? i haven’t met any myself, but i’d like to see how i match up against an ultra beast when my friends aren’t in danger.

my teacher said he fought an ultra beast once, but i don’t think it was the same as this one. he said the one he fought was all big and red and looked like a bug-type! and i haven’t seen anything like that so far.

after our first encounter, the alien apparently just... disappeared into the fog. it left no trace, and with the ship destroyed, there wasn’t any way to track it. according to some other survivors who took escape pods, after necrozma disappeared and the fog cleared, everything else seemed to get sucked into an endless darkness. it was like even the light from the stars had gone out in the area. since we know so little about it, we don’t even know if we can classify it as an ultra beast. for now, though, some aether members have taken to calling it ‘false.’

do you think it’ll leave us alone...?

just... uri, is fine.

oh! uri... then, um, is there anything i can do to help?

well, i don’t know the first thing about fixing something like this... i guess, if you find anything that could help patch up this hole, i would appreciate it.

of course! don’t you worry, i will get to work straight away!!
