Fil enabled a program on his computer and checked on the Zen Pyramid’s status. He witnessed the Pyramid as it slowly faded to orange with a bright yellow glow.

''In the Zen Universe, a light yellow mist slowly engulfed the entire world. The sky has turned orange in color, while the terrain started to form tiny colorful holographic leaves. The citizens couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched the leaves decorated the entire city from gloom.''

''The young blue Zendroid, Mir, was walking back home from a Strikeball training session. Shocked by the sudden appearance of holographic elements around her, she rushed her way back to share her story with Infi. With the loud bouncing footsteps outside the house, Infi was interrupted from her nap. She lazily headed to the front door to meet Mir who jumped onto her face.''

''“Yo sleepyhead, have you not dragged your eyes out to see what’s happening outside?” Mir claimed as she pointed at the outdoors. Due to Infi being woken up from a nap unexpectedly, she could hardly pay any attention to what Mir was explaining.''

''“Well, just take a look on your own, idiot.” Mir shook Infi’s head and headed upstairs, leaving her behind in the living room. Infi took a step outside the house while a holographic leaf had fallen down, landing on her head. She picked it up for some inspection, then headed back home to shut the door back to her room.''

Fil, fascinated by the colors of falling leaves, decided to pack a trip to the Autumn region. He packed his bags, turned off the light switch while having his computer turned on to keep the fall program running in the Zen Universe. Right after he took departure, Aria was flying across the buildings in Cydor, passing through Fil’s office. She saw a glowing light in the empty room through the windows, and while one of the windows was open, she entered Fil’s office while placing his delivery package on the table. Worried about power usage and the renovation condition next to his office without curiosity, she switched off the computer, disabling everything that was recently shown in the Zen Universe in the process, and flew away from the building.

''Before she entered the house, Infi, while holding the hologram, was shocked to see that it disappeared right in front of her eyes. “Are these supposed to vanish out of nowhere?” she yelled outside of the house as Mir heard her voice through the windows.''

''“I doubt so. The sky has turned back to normal simultaneously, so I’m guessing something must’ve happened to the creator’s coding.” Mir replied back. Filled with curiosity as this was her first time witnessing the phenomenon, she immediately went back into her room and looked up the Internet about these mysterious orange leaves. The search results showed tons of fascinating images of autumn leaves to Infi, leaving her with a small happy squeak.''
