Galactic Alliance

Everyone fell asleep again...

I wonder what Cyrus is trying to accomplish by using Darkrai's power.

Cyrus's vision is to create a world devoid of human spirit...

Therefore, he must be doing this because Darkrai's nightmare is close to his ideal world.

You're kidding, right? You mean he actually wants these nightmares?!

If Darkrai's nightmare is Cyrus's ideal world...

Then it's possible he's also asleep, right?

Yes indeed.

Falling deeper into the nightmare may be allowing him to forge a deeper bond with Darkrai.

Cyrus could be in that nightmare, resonating with Darkrai... All while strengthening their bond.

Unbelievable! But we know what eventually happens to those who fall into Darkrai's nightmare...

Yikes! We have to find him, quick!

We don't have enough info on his whereabouts... What should we do?

Why don't you let us in on this operation?

Team Galactic!

We'd also like to find our boss.

Don't get the wrong idea. We're only helping you because your goals happen to align with ours.

After all the bad things you've done, you're really willing to help us out?

We're not playing around. We'll do anything to get our boss back.

... ... ...

OK. I believe you.

What?! Really, Dawn?

You sure we should team up with Team Galactic?

Uh-huh. Everyone worries about the people they care about. It has nothing to do with good or evil.

I'm with you, Dawn. We'll need their help if we want Cyrus to change.

I believe that you all care deeply for Cyrus.

Thank you. You have our full cooperation.

However, you need to follow our rules.

No straying from the group. You'll stay with at least one of us while we're out and about.

Hmph. So you wanna babysit us, huh? Go right ahead.

Urgh...

Professor?!

I'm suddenly feeling...a little...sleepy...

You can't go to sleep, Professor! You'll fall right into Darkrai's nightmare!

Sorry... Can't...stay awake...

I know...you can do it... I...believe...

... ... ...

Professor Bellis...

Let's go. We have to find Cyrus, for the professor's sake, too!

Ugh...it's so cold, even Skuntank's tail is frozen upside down!

Wasn't its tail like that already? Don't just make things up!

Sheesh, I was just trying to be nice and make some conversation.

Why'd I have to partner up with you, anyway? Putting us together... It's like they're asking for a fight to happen.

What, you wanna battle?!

Of course not. Master Cyrus comes first right now.

Also...even if we did battle, I'm not sure I'd be able to beat you again.

I can tell you've gotten stronger.

Oh... Well, that's nice of you to say.

Y'know, after I lost to you...

I had this feeling that I had to get stronger. But it wasn't because I was worried about winning or losing. You know what I mean?

You get it, right? Since you're the same.

After all, you're fighting really hard for someone you believe in now.

When you put things on the line for someone else and not just yourself, that's what makes you super strong.

Is that so?

Then let's hurry up and find Master Cyrus.

After that, we can have a rematch to see which of us has gotten stronger.

Yeah! Totally!
