A Night Long Ago
The night air was engulfed in silence as they walked through the underbrush. The boy was fiddling with his clothes. They were silk, and covered his muscular body tanned from many days walking through the desolate landscape. The girl was pale, and her icy blue eyes darted across the dusty and smoky landscape. A freezing gust blowing across the barren plains tossed dust into the air, and she shivered.
"I can't believe that anyone would end the world here, Xavier." The girl moaned as her silky clothes got tangled in the underbrush, dead from the drought. Ash caked her soft hands, and her platinum blonde hair turned grayish as the fine, powdery dust settled down. She pushed her hair aside, and continued walking with a pained expression on her face.
"Yvonne." Xavier took her hands, and shook off the soot. His chocolate eyes gazed in hers, and they alone seemed to kiss his fair princess. "That man is evil, eviler than the shadows that lurked after the utter destruction, and crazy, crazier than those jesters that were supposed to entertain you on the streets. Come on, we have a job to finish, you can't have one of your bad days here."
"Why us out of all people? Why not the Tumbler Kingdom, or the Riches Kingdom, they have better heirs, and they're actually men. You're right, this whole thing is crazy. Why would anyone in their right mind choose us over anyone else?" She sighed, her platinum blonde hair blowing in all directions. "You're right, though. Pull out the stones, we have a job to do."
"Of course." He shoved a bony hand into a pouch attached to his belt, and pulled out two stones; one was fiery red auburn, and the other turquoise. He peered into the darkness, which was deep and very dark with the shadows. "As usual, she's late. What's holding her this time, royal duties?"
Yvonne stamped her foot. "You don't know what you're talking about, Xavier."
"I know, you already talked about royal duties. I know how crazy they are, so- wait…" He paused, his breathing low, and his movements silent. Yvonne, despite being pampered, followed suit, except she was slowly removing a short dagger, one of, if not, the sharpest things on the planet at the time.
"I'm here." A small, yet rough voice whispered into the night. Yvonne hurled her dagger through the air, and it landed on a tree a good couple of yards away to the right, while Xavier quickly drew out a sword, its metal face gleaming into the remaining light. The leather grip was stained red from many fights and quarrels over time. Emerging from the darkness was a small girl with sapphire-blue hair pulled back into a primitive pony-tail, which resembled later versions of the French braid, though it would be some time before that happened.
"Sorry Zendaya, we thought you were one of the Enemy soldiers passing by."
"Here's the stone you two noisy idiots wanted." Zendaya said, tossing a meadow green forest stone towards him. He caught it with precision and accuracy. "You two are so noisy, I might as well blind-fold myself, and I can still track you like that."
Xavier squeezed the stone tight as Yvonne put away her dagger and Zendaya looked around cautiously before shrugging her shoulders, and put a crazy smirk on her face. Then, a shadow leaped out, and a man, his tall, and sleek body stooped before them, his eyes that seemed to be blood red staring intensely at the trio.
"Xavier, can you pass the stone?" The green stone soared through the dusty air. It was caught in her minuscule hands with her perfectly manicured hands. She held it securely as she fired arrows one by one, knocking down row after row of the marching soldiers. Stepping back, she fired her last one, and it cut straight through the chest of a fair-head lad who fell to the ground with a thud. With Yvonne swinging her sword like a badass, and Xavier trying some awesome Water combos, she walked over, and wrenched the arrow out of each of her victim's chests. Suddenly, as if out of thin air, something hard struck her and she tumbled to the dirt, tasting dust.
"Zendaya! Are you okay?" Yvonne asked as she lunched her dagger at another foe, and hit him in the head
"No time to health care!" Xavier's strong blade swung through more men emerging from the dead forest like wolves coming from their dens.
They limped to their feet as they gazed upon the empty battlefield. The bodies were disintegrating into nothing and they blood soaked into the world. Xavier reached down and swooped up his stone. The blue hue of it always calmed him, and he would need it later, for something even more important than life, of surviving, of being there, of living.
They continued onward, no words entered the deadly air as the smoke cleared. The weapon jutted out of the identical background, it's sheer black surface forming four 'petals', since it looked like a flower, sort of. There were many colors that crept along the edge of reality and imagination, with more possibilities than ever. The weapon was deserted. Surely, there were people scurrying around inside.
Pushing open the doors of the same color as the blackness of night which has arrived, they found themselves in a dark red corridor, with identical doors that seemed to stretch forever. They walked forward, before footsteps suddenly appeared, not their echoes booming into the chambers that seemed to last forever
"We have visitors," she announced through gritted teeth. She pounced off.
"They survived our army. The whole one?" he pivoted on his bulky feet and marched towards them," Well then, they will have to survive us."
He shoved out a sword with its ivory blade and its leather handle it was powerful weapon. Xavier hurdled his weapon at him, and it glanced him, leaving a clean cut on his left shoulder.
Zendaya dodged the girl's attacks and collided against the wall. Her eyes shone with anger as her hands cupped together and formed an Aura Sphere. It rammed at ramming speed and shoved the girl against the man and they collided together. The man staggered to his feet as his second army crashed through the doors. The girl glared her last glare as she slipped into another realm. The army fought until the very end as one by one, they collapsed and they passed the gates into that other world.
Soon, it was only them and the man. He had the keys to the weapon, and it could end the world. They were cornered, and they had only option.
"If you let us into the middle of the room, maybe we would surrender." Zendaya pleaded. The man accepted.
Xavier stepped into the northwest corner, Yvonne into the south corner and Zendaya crept into the northeast latitude. They held out their stones at arm's reach. Yvonne's red stone glowed as she chanted random syllables and words. Before they could finish, Yvonne quietly murmured, "Let him be part of the next one." A large flash emitted from the center of the room. It was blinding, seeing three teenagers hold out average stones, and do magic with their power. They moved their arms, so they all connected with the heavens above. Their bodies' glow was bright blue as a shock wave poured from the room. Everyone within ten miles was tossed of their feet, and people within a mile were scaled from the intense heat seeping from this orb of plasma that expanded and contracted, then turned cool to the touch.
Inside, chaos occurred. Rays of aura zapped off the trio, and bounced around before dying off. Yvonne felt her knees weakening, and Xavier felt every limb dead tired down to the individual cells. Zendaya felt something from her right side emit small rays of energy. She turned her head, but then their bodies turned into pure energy and enter the stones. The ball collapsed and only one body lay on the concrete floor, even though four people died in those torturous moments. Rainbows flew up, and prosperity grew across the land.
A few days later, a Lucario appeared. His maroon eyes were teary with love for his owner, Yvonne, and his steps were dragging and weary. He stopped in front of the stones, still undisturbed and bowed until his ears nearly touched his waist. He gathered up all the pebbles, and grabbed a little bracelet and necklace. The necklace glittered in the sunlight as he buried them not too far away. He kept the bracelet and the three stones, each burying them in separate holes. He slipped on the bracelet on his right wrist and walked away from the site with a trail of tears left behind.
2,000 years later
Lucario watched the settlers wage a war against invaders. He took great care to remove all of the items that he kept for 2,000 years and keep them with him. Nobody ever found a record of him during this bloody period because he hibernated throughout the whole thing. Occasionally he woke up and spied on the two armies, but he never followed them if they left the area. He didn't want to leave where his master had perished.
4,700 years later
Another war wages and Lucario goes into hiding. He still lived near the ruins of the first weapon and the ultimate weapon. He managed to survive by living off herbs and plants. He met no one during this time, and no saw him. He realizes that peace would be much shorter than anticipated.
4,990 years later
Lucario left the newly formed Geosenge Town and heads for Shalour City. He made it there and collapsed into a stranger's arms in tears. He befriends Korrina, his new trainer, and gives her the bracelet, which Korrina discovered that it was a Mega Ring. Sometimes, he gazes at the stars and wonders when he will find the girl with the right aura, the one that will save the world, a second time. He likes his current life, but he wants his Yvonne back. He only has ten years left, before his memories of her die off.
