What's up, everyone!? This is The Star of Hope saying welcome to my story! You can call me Hope for short if any of you like. After more than a week and playing through Super Mystery Dungeon for the third time (And may I say one of the best stories ever other than Explorers of Sky), I've finally decided to write a little something based off it. I got so into the story that I decided to create a special story that tells what happened after the player and partner escaped through the door to hope and left Mawile and the others in the Voidlands. I decided on this mainly because nobody here has yet to write something like that yet. ;)
This story will take place after and during the time the player and partner returned to their world to stop Dark Matter. During the time, things are going on back in the Voidlands. I know nobody really knows what's going on there, so this is just my own take on it. The story's mainly about Mawile and her journey through the Voidlands, learning and fighting her way with the allies she meets along the way. As to the purpose of it all... You'll have to read and find out. If I told you guys, what would be the point of making this story, right!? XD
That being said, let's get right to it! We're all going back...to the void! To those who've yet to play this game, this will contain spoilers, so be warn if you've yet to play the game. With that said, here it is! Ladies and gentleman...! Boy and girls...! To all the fans of this amazing story...! I present to you... Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon Special: Journey Through the Voidlands! Enjoy! :D
*Reverse Mountain Summit*
Down in the Voidlands, at the top of the mountain that's suppose to connect this world to the world of Pokémon, a battle had been taken place. Six Pokémon stand surrounded and tired by the strange creatures that inhabit the Voidlands called Void Shadows. They kept popping up from all directions, surrounding them and preventing them from escaping as they were trying to reach the so called door to hope, the only means of escaping the Voidlands.
Riolu and Fennekin were on the verge of exhaustion, much more than Mawile, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. However, they were surprised when Mawile smiled at them when she approached them, asking if they were ready, while the legendary beasts prepared to unleash all their remaining power...
"Now's the time!" shouted Entei as he, Raikou, and Suicune stood firm and ready.
Then, with a mighty roar from the threesome, they blasted their combined energies at the Void Shadows that surrounded them, destroying them instantly with their legendary powers. Once they were all gone and the legendary beasts seized their attack, Mawile suddenly ran at Riolu and Fennekin and kicked them away. "Go-o-o-o-o-o!" she shouted as the two were sent flying, much to their surprise.
But as they were sent flying, a beam of light shined down from the dark swirling vortex above in the red sky. When Riolu and Fennekin hit the ground on the other side of the mountain summit, the beam of light shined right behind them, revealing the so called door to hope near them. When they got back up, they were surprised when they turned around to see the door was only a few feet from them.
"B-But this is...?!" Fennekin shouted, surprised to see the door in front of her, along with Riolu.
"The Door!" Riolu shouted, but they were shocked when they turned around to see more Void Shadows splatting down and take from in front of them.
"Riolu! Fennekin! Go through the door!" Mawile exclaimed as she, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune readied themselves when more Void Shadows surrounded them.
However, Riolu and Fennekin were shocked when they heard he say that. "Y-You want us to what?!" Fennekin asked, unsure of this.
"But...what about you guys!?" Riolu asked as the door to hope behind them slowly began to disappear.
"We knew it might come to this. We were prepared." Suicune stated as he glared at two Void Shadows in front of him. "We are not such fools to believe that we would all make it back from this place."
"B-But...!" Fennekin replied as the door to hope behind them continued to fade away.
"You are the ones! You have the best chance at saving our world!" Entei exclaimed, though he hated to say it somewhat. "As soon as I found Raikou and Suicune here in the Voidlands, we exchanged a vow... We vowed that we would deliver the two of you back to our former world! You two...are...our...HOPE!"
To hear someone like Entei say such a thing to them, Riolu and Fennekin almost wanted to cry, especially Fennekin. "You... You guys..." she said, trying to fight back her emotions, along with Riolu.
"T-Thank you..." Riolu thanked, while the door to hope behind them still kept fading away as the beam of light above began to dim and disappear.
Raikou turned his head away from the Void Shadows in front of him and was surprised to see this. "The door to hope fades! Go now, you fools!" he shouted as Riolu and Fennekin got serious and looked at one another.
"Riolu!" Fennekin exclaimed, while Riolu nodded in reply.
"Yeah!" he replied as he and Fennekin looked back at Mawile and the legendary beasts. "Everyone...!"
"Just hold on a little while longer!" Fennekin exclaimed, then she raised her voice with her eyes shut. "We're definitely coming back for you! We'll save you from this place!"
"That's a promise!" Riolu exclaimed as Fennekin reopened her eyes before she and Riolu quickly turned and ran right through the door to hope just when it disappeared, leaving Mawile and the legendary beasts with the Void Shadows surrounding them.
"Fennekin... Riolu..." said Mawile, sad to see Riolu and Fennekin go, but got serious again when the Void Shadows moved in closer. "We leave the planet in your hands now... Save our world!"
"They're coming closer!" Raikou exclaimed as he stepped back when the Void Shadows slowly closed in on them.
"Entei, what do we do now?" Suicune asked, turning his head towards the volcanic legendary, trying to stay calm.
"... The only thing we can do..." Entei replied as he prepared for another go at his enemies. "We fight to the very end!"
"I agree!" Raikou replied, feeling the same, and so was Suicune.
"Yes!" Suicune replied as he and Raikou prepared for another go as well, while Mawile, a little exhausted, prepared herself for combat too.
"And I'll fight with you!" she exclaimed, making Entei glance back at her real quick before gazing back at his foes.
"Thank you, Mawile." he thanked as the Void Shadows stopped once they were a few yards away from their prey. "Now let's go!"
With a mighty shout, Entei fired his Flamethrower from his mouth at the three Void Shadows in front of him, burning them away with ease. At the same time, Raikou unleashed his Thunderbolt from his body to zap the three Void Shadows that were in his line of sight, and Suicune fired an Ice Beam from his mouth to block the other four Void Shadows from reaching him and the others.
Though the legendary beasts weren't having much trouble on their end, Mawile struggled as three Void Shadows came at her, but with all her might she ran right at them and swung her maw, smacking them away. Once they were farther away from her, she took a deep breath and blew her Fairy Wind from her mouth at them, and after a few seconds after it hit them, they disappeared. However, it wasn't long till more Void Shadows dripped down from the dark vortex above and caught her by surprise. "W-What!?" she exclaimed as she backed up, only to see more Void Shadows appear around her and the legendary beasts. "More of them?"
"Is there really no end to these things?!" Raikou asked as he blasted another Thunderbolt at two Void Shadows that came at him.
"Just keep fighting!" Entei exclaimed as he blasted another Flamethrower at the ones in front of him, while Suicune unleashed a Roar at the three that came at him, sending him back, but he was slowly running out of strength.
"Why?" he asked, unsure of fighting is logical at this point as more dripped down from above. "The longer we fight...the more energy we waste on no progress. Entei, we have to run!"
"Run where, Suicune!?" Entei asked as he noticed more Void Shadows surrounded him and the others. "If we stop fighting, they'll get us for sure! We can't give up here!"
"But if we stay, we're going to lose sooner or later." Mawile stated as she fired a Flash Cannon by clapping her hands and fired it at two Void Shadows in front of her. "Entei, we need to get off this mountain!"
"I know that!" Entei exclaimed, finding Mawile's statement of the obvious annoying as he saw more Void Shadows appear in front of him. "But if we don't keep fighting, that won't be possible! Just keep at it until we can find a gap! When we do, then we make our escape!"
"Good a plan as any." Mawile replied, knowing that was really the ONLY plan they had as she blew another Fairy Wind at the Void Shadows coming at her.
At the same time, Raikou continued firing his Thunderbolts at the Void Shadows one at a time to conserve energy a little, while Suicune unleashed his Hydro Pump from his mouth and mowed down five Void Shadows in a row. Entei let out another roar as he fired his Fire Blast from his mouth at four Void Shadows that threw themselves at him, only to be burned away by the volcanic legendary.
The four Pokémon continued their repeated attack patterns for as long as they could, but no matter how many Void Shadows they were taking down, more kept coming, increasing their numbers slowly but surely. Eventually, the four were nearly back-to-back as they were now surrounded by more than a dozen Void Shadows. Mawile was panting hard, almost out of energy, along with the legendary beasts, who weren't looking so good either, despite their legendary strength.
"T-This is...bad." Mawile stated with one eye shut and her teeth grit.
"Where is that opening!?" Raikou exclaimed, both exhausted and annoyed as he let out a Roar to blow one of the Void Shadows away from him when it got too close.
"Entei, now what do we do?" Suicune asked, turning his head slightly towards the volcanic legendary.
"... The only thing we got left. We must combine our powers one more time." Entei stated, but this surprised Suicune.
"You can't be serious!" he exclaimed as he glared and grit his teeth at some Void Shadows slowly coming his way. "If we do that now in our current conditions, we'll use up all the strength we have left."
"It's the only choice we got left!" Entei exclaimed, though knowing Suicune was right. "We must!"
Though, Mawile wasn't sure if it really was the best decision, but giving their current situation, it truly is the only choice they have if they wished to get off the mountain. "Entei... Raikou... Suicune... Whatever you three plan to do, please make it fast!" she exclaimed as she blew another Fairy Wind at a Void Shadow, but was fell to one knee afterwards, panting ever so hard. "I can't...keep this up...anymore."
"Raikou! Suicune!" Entei shouted, turning his head towards Raikou, then Suicune.
"I'm ready!" Raikou replied, knowing that it's the best chance they've got, along with Suicune.
"If we must." he replied as he, Raikou, and Entei readied themselves as the Void Shadows closed in.
However, Mawile noticed some of the Void Shadows behind the ones up front suddenly disappeared in the cracks below them, much to her surprise. But at the same time, the legendary beasts charged up their remaining energies and waited until the Void Shadows were close enough. "One...more...time!" Entei shouted as he, Raikou, and Suicune unleashed their mighty roars, blasting all the energy they had left at the surrounding Void Shadows.
One by one, the shadowy creatures were destroyed by the combined power of the legendary beasts. Once they seized their attack, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune were even more exhausted then before. By the looks of it, they almost wanted to collapse, but they managed to stay up, while Mawile witnessed the beam of light shined down from the dark vortex above, revealing the door to hope to them.
"T-The door..." said Mawile as she pushed herself back up, but barely keeping her balance together as she placed her left hand on her right arm.
"Forget...the door." Entei stated as he, Raikou, and Suicune slowly made walked away from it. "We have to...get off this mountain."
"Before those things...come back." Suicune stated, making Mawile turn and follow them, distancing herself from the door to hope as it began to fade away.
But, just when they were near the way down the mountain, three Void Shadows suddenly appear from the ground and blocked their path, surprising them. "W-What!?" Entei exclaimed, but then he, Raikou, Suicune, and Mawile noticed more Void Shadows appear from the ground around them, trapping them from all directions.
"But how...?!" Raikou asked, finding this impossible since they just blasted them all away.
"So that's...what they were doing." Mawile stated, remembering some of the Void Shadows secretly disappeared in the cracks below before the legendary beasts unleashed their combined energies on them. It's almost like...they expected Entei and the others were about to do. But how?
"T-This is bad..." Suicune stated as Raikou tried to unleash another Thunderbolt, but didn't have the strength to do so.
As the Void Shadows moved in on them, Raikou growled as he made his fangs spark with electricity and snapped them repeatedly at them, using his Thunder Fang to keep them away. Suicune did the same, but instead used Ice Fang, and Entei used his Fire Fang to keep the Void Shadows from reaching him, but it didn't work for long as they still slowly closed in on them.
With most of their strength gone, the legendary beasts fell to one of their back knees, barely keeping themselves, along with Mawile, he fell to one, unable to find her strength to continue. They watched as their end slowly made its way to them.
"E-Entei... N-Now what?" Suicune asked as Entei growled with one eye open at the Void Shadows in front of him, but then calmed himself, turning his head back towards Mawile behind him, seeing how she was in a much worse condition than him and the others. "Mawile..."
"Y-Yeah?" she replied as she turned her head back towards him.
"For a Pokémon to hold their own this long without legendary strength, it's...impressive." Entei stated, finding how Mawile lasted this long amusing and quite unbelievable. "You truly have the strength...and the will of any legend. You...have my respect."
To hear Entei say such a thing, Mawile gasped, surprised, but then she almost wanted to tear up. To be praised like that from a legendary Pokémon like Entei was almost getting to her, but she tried her hardest not to show it. "Thank you." she thanked as Entei looked back ahead and got serious, managing to push himself up.
"And that's why you can't be here!" he shouted as she suddenly turned and smacked Mawile with his front paw, catching her by surprise as she was sent flying.
At that moment, Mawile gazed in shock as the strength from Entei's sudden smack was strong enough to send her flying pass the surrounding Void Shadows and over the edge of mountain summit. When she noticed this, her eyes widen as the last thing she saw was Entei, Raikou, and Suicune gazing at her as the Void Shadows came right at them. Once she was descending down, she couldn't help but think why Entei did this, and what had become of them now.
Entei...! Raikou...! Suicune...! she thought as she closed her eyes tight and fell straight down the side of Reverse Mountain. "NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!"
