Giratina scoffed as he gazed through a portal. They never took their job seriously. He asked Gengar to scare the child, not make it laugh. The only ones who took their duty seriously were Jellicent, Shedinja, and Banette, and even then, the latter was almost always ignoring it.
Giratina perked up as an idea formed in his head. "You are a genius," he purred to himself. With a roar, he summoned a portal and disappeared through it.
From his throne, Arceus frowned. He sighed as a Shadow Ball was launched by Banette. The orb bounced harmlessly off him as he changed to his Normal form.
"Stop this. You and I both know you can't kill me," he told the puppet, getting quite bored. This had been the third time he was woken up from a good nap for an assassination attempt.
"For fuck's sake, Banette, let's go," Dusknoir said, grabbing Banette by the head tail and dragging him away. The doors to Arceus' throne shut behind them. The Alpha Pokemon sighed.
There was a sudden rumbling. A portal opened, and through it, the Renegade Pokemon, Giratina, appeared. Arceus jerked to his feet.
"Giratina," he breathed. "What business do you have here? More importantly, why are you here? I told you to never come here unless brought by force."
Giratina, now in his Alternate form, examined one of his claws. "Let's just say I have business with those ghosts."
Arceus glared. "As annoying as they are, they are still my children. Tell me your plans."
Giratina laughed. "Uh, no. My plans are for me to know. Y'know, it's a shame, really. I'm going to throw a "party", and you won't be here to watch."
Without waiting for a reply, Giratina lashed out. The impact of the Shadow Force broke Arceus' many plates until only the Spooky one remained. Giratina chuckled, picking it up and turning it over in his hand as Arceus crumpled to the ground, drained of his power.
"Your last hope... It would be a shame if something happened to it."
Giratina laughed and dropped the plate over the side of the floating island the two were on. The plate plummeted down until it was out of sight. Arceus tried to stand, but his legs failed him, and he was sent back to the ground.
Giratina smiled. "Enjoy the show, Arceus." He held a claw to Arceus throat. "It'll be to die for."
The Renegade Pokemon slit Arceus' throat. The Alpha Pokemon let out a hacking cough and fell to the floor. Giratina smiled. The only way to revive Arceus would be to gather all the plates.
"Just to be sure..." Giratina brushed the broken plates off the edge. He scoffed as he gazed at Arceus' body.
"And they call him God. What a waste. That wraps up my business here. Time to show those ghosts a real scare."
