In the temporary lab, Ritsuka and Lin Yu appeared soon after, Tony nodded at them as he kept messing around with his armour, the two girls were too confused by the numbers and data which they didn't understand and ignored it.
Well, even if the others were here, they'd still be confused, after all, Tony was a real Genius unlike Yuhao who used 'I reckon' for everything... although Tony's ability also worked like that.
Zero was a dropout, Taichi is a 11 year old child, Mingfei is a normal genius now but not some great inventor.
Returning to the point, soon enough, Yuhao, Shin, Mingfei and Taichi also entered the laboratory, "We're back!" Taichi smiled as he exclaimed.
"Welcome back." Ritsuka also smiled at them, Lin Yu already approaching them and looking at the moody Shin, "Shin, is something wrong?"
"No... It's nothing!" Shin shook his head at her, he was actually quite distracted because during their return, Yuhao had already told him what Shining was.
The problem right now was, even Yuhao could barely forcibly activate that form for Zero and he'd be completely incapacitated temporarily while Zero himself would only get one chance to rewind...
So, he was quite worried, could he truly destroy or capture that Fallen System while also restoring this Universe? He actually wasn't sure.
That's why he was worried, worried if he would disappoint his friends. He didn't explain to Lin Yu and just smiled confidently at her, "Heh! What could even be there that I can't solve?"
"That's true, you're Zero after all! The invincible Zero who lost to Dada" Lin Yu nodded seriously, making the others also snort slightly in amusement, "That wasn't me! Alright?!" Shin directly turned red, his face blushing
'Damn other Zero! Ruining this great me's reputation!' Zero promised himself to go beat up those versions of himself.
"Alright, that's enough fun." Tony tapped the table, bringing their attention back, although he was also still smiling slightly.
"I've already calculated this thing's trajectory and route." Tony said as a map of sorts appeared, a red line moving quickly along a white line, as if following it despite the many irregular movements it made.
"The red line is the Fallen System, the white is the route I estimate it should follow." Tony said and looked at Shin and Yuhao, "I'm pretty sure it's going to be like this but, I'll ask again."
"Shin, Yuhao, you two will go handle the System, right?"
"Yeah! Leave it to us!"
"Heh! A mere System is 20,000 years too early to beat me!"
Stare....
"What?" Shin who'd done a classic dialogue of himself paused as he looked at his friends' faces which were now filled with doubts.
"Oh come on! I'm not going to get randomly nerfed!" Shin said exasperated at these guys.
"Heh, anyways, I and Shin have complete confidence! We'll beat that thing to pieces!" Yuhao said and was about to point his thumb at himself but had it grabbed by Mingfei
"You blame Shin and you were going to do a Vegeta?!" Mingfei said as he grabbed Yuhao's arm, "My bad, my bad." Yuhao laughed a bit embarassed.
There were many taboos across all anime, novels and the like, many were called death flags or a certain catchphrase or action that would mess up everything.
Among them, one of the most famous was a Vegeta, whenever Vegeta arrogantly pointed his thumb at himself and said he'll win, he gets thrashed.
Another minor one was Zero's 'I have no Limits!' which somehow led to a beating or getting nerfed.
Moving on, "Good luck you two, we'll be waiting back here." Taichi said smiling at them as he extended a fist, making everyone smirk slightly and bump fists in a circle.
"Yeah, to saving the Universe!" Shin grinned, "To saving the Universe!" x6

Meanwhile, in the Universe, a giant ruin stood, still seemingly in very good condition as inside was a statue of a divine giant with wings, although it seemed to be glowing as well.
It slowly condensed into a beam of light and shot out into the Universe, as if sensing something and being attracted to it.
"...I think helping out some juniors aren't violating the rules." A majestic and divine voice rang out through the entire ruins as the ruins where the Statue had once been seemed to slowly disappear into particles of light

"... It seems they're doing quite well." Ultraman King nodded to himself as he looked at the individual to his side, "What do you think?"
"...Me? Of course! That kid's someone I chose after all." A smug voice said as the figure was revealed to be Noa.
"....If Saga hears that, he'll come to ask you just how you chose Zero." King smiled slightly, "Hey! Hey! Don't mess around!" Noa also joked with a smile.
"Although, it is quite rare seeing such a luxurious configuration....a child who has an Origin of Darkness but a Heart of Light, one who has a Conceptual power of learning and inventing, a Half-System like young child who has a benevolent personality, a very courageous young man who is the Incarnation of Courage, a young girl who embodies the concept of Never giving up and another young girl with potential."
"....Poor Lin Yu, she's the only normal one among a group of anomalies." King sighed smilingly, "But I think she's also a unique child, don't you think so?"
"Of course! All of them are Unique, not just them... everyone has that potential within them." Noa replied.
"Indeed, I believe they'll easily resolve this and return victorious, after all, they're all good children." King nodded.
"Say, I have to ask you something..." King began after a while of looking to the empty void.
"Hm?"
"....Those statues, do you carve them yourself?"
"...."
"I mean, I know some 'You' carve them, but I'm asking about You." King specified.
".... Borrowed from Tiga." The old charlatan who tricks newbies to work admitted without shame.
"...No wonder they call you an Old Charlatan."
"...?!?!"
