As the alarms were going off Commander Mercury and Commander Saturn, who was forced by Jupiter to wear a Sailor Saturn costume, started to freak out, until Mercury grabbed Saturn's shoulders and said.
"Saturn, I don't think this is a drill, so listen. I need you to go to where we're keeping the three lake guardians, and wait until one of the two kids to enter that room and beat you in a pok mon battle. Once they beat you let them release the lake guardians, Ok man?" Mercury commander Saturn
"But what are you going to do?" Saturn questioned him
"I'm going to help Cyrus escape and once we're at Spear Pillar, I'll defeat Cyrus and destroy the red chain before he can use it."
"Ok then I'm off to help the lake guardians, I'll see you when you're finished your mission." Saturn said right before he started running off, Mercury quickly yelled out.
"SATURN, stop for a sec and look at yourself, you better get changed into your uniform." Saturn looked down and noticed he was still in the Sailor Saturn costume, he immediately ran off into the opposite direction, towards his room so he could get changed. Mercury started to head towards Cyrus's office so he could put his plan into motion, about half way there, there was a rumble coming from his pocket, it was coming from the cell phone that he received earlier that day. He opened it up and it said that he had a text message from Looker.
Dustin I'm sorry to say this but I would be able to meet you at Spear Pillar. So it looks like it will be all up to you to stop Cyrus's evil plot. Good Luck Agent Berlitz. After Mercury reed the message he gave off a simple smile and thought to himself, Agent Berlitz I like the sound of that. As he reached Cyrus's office he noticed that the door was open he looked inside and saw Lucas and Cyrus in a battle. He watched until the battle was over and after a long boring speech about the human soul Cyrus walked out of the room, Mercury quickly followed him down the hallway and outside the building to where the helipads are. Before boarding an already prepared helicopter Cyrus turned around and told Mercury.
"Hurry up and get in Mercury, I have something special in store for you"
Mercury got on the helicopter just as it was leaving, and within seconds they were off to Spear Pillar. Within a few minutes the helicopter was directly over Mt. Coronet, Mercury was looking out a window when suddenly his whole body started to feel cold, quickly turned around right before his body was completely frozen and saw that Cyrus's Weavile was using ice beam.
"Stupid boy, did you think that I wouldn't notice a traitor in my organization, and I never really needed you in my organization to begin with." Cyrus said with no emotion what so ever.
"Then why did you want me to join Galactic then?" Mercury questioned him
"Why, because I saw you on top of Spear Pillar four years ago, and I knew that you were going to be a problem, just like your idiot father." Cyrus continued "now it's time to finish what I started those many years ago." Then Cyrus told the pilots to open the exit ramp, and just as it opened Cyrus pushed the completely frozen Mercury out of the helicopter, and let him fall to his doom.
As Mercury fell he tried his hardest of defreeze himself, but it was no use. As he got closer and closer to the mountain his life started to flash before his eyes. He started to cry over all the things that he did and about all the people that he has ever met. Then his body slammed into a wall of rock, and then finally he was impaled in the heart by a stalagmite. As his blood gushed out falling rocks from the wall he hit fell over top of him which created his grave. As Mercury's life ended a dark cloaked man was hovering in the air looking at Mercury's grave. The cloaked individual raised his hand and said to himself, it's time and in a dark flash he was gone.
Mercury opened his eyes to see darkness, he looked everywhere but there was nothing but darkness. Mercury walked for seemed to be forever looking for a way out of the darkness. Right before he lost hope he heard a voice but he couldn't make out what it said, then suddenly a blinding flash of light engulfed him. As the light faded Mercury looked around and saw dark clouds and floating rocks everywhere, then he heard the voice again, it was saying his name and by the sound of it, it was very close.
"Dustin Mercury Berlitz, Dustin Mercury Berlitz," it continued as Mercury looked left and right trying to find the source.
"Up here Berlitz." yelled out the voice and without any hesitation Mercury looked up and to his surprise there was a cloaked begin sitting on the underside of one of the many floating rocks.
"So you've finally made it to this dimension Berlitz boy." said the dark cloaked individual
"Who are you, where am I, and what happened to Cyrus?" Mercury asked him
"Gezz, one question at a time ok? First off this place we're in right on is called the Distortion World but don't be confused this is not your dimension's Distortion World, this one is connected to my world."
"Your world?"
"Yes my world, you see there are many and I mean many different dimensions out there, let me compare my world with your world. In your world you have living creatures called pok mon, and in my world you can only find pok mon in a video game."
"Ok I get it, there are many dimensions out there, but you still have to answer my other questions."
"Let me finish, god why did I have to make you so stubborn?"
"What are you talking about?"
Then the cloaked individual lifted both of his hand and pulled down his hood, and to Mercury's surprise the strange individual looked exactly like him.
"My name is Dustin Whissel, and I'm the one who created you."
"I highly doubt that."
"O no, it's totally true. Did you ever wonder why you look nothing like your parents?"
Mercury thought about it, this mother had pink hair and emerald eyes and his father had black hair and blue eyes, both Mercury's hair and eyes were brown. The cloaked Dustin continued
"Now then, I think it's time to tell you why I brought you here. As you may as well know it, you're dead in your dimension. Impaled in the heart by a stalagmite, then buried by some boulders, a gruesome death I must say."
"If I'm dead then how am I standing right here?"
"Right now you're in what I like to call soul form. In this form your soul creates the image of your "old" body. Now no more questions you're getting me side tracked. Recently I have felt a disturbance "
"In the force?"
"NO, NOT IN THE FUCKING FORCE AND IF INTERRUPT ME ONE MORE FUCKING TIME I'M GOING TO GET OFF OF THIS FUCKING ROCK AND KICK THE YOUR FUCKING ASS!"
"Gezz do you kiss your mother with that mouth, fine please continue."
"Like I was saying recently I've felt a disturbance resonating from your dimension, so I came here and made this" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small diamond shaped pendant, Mercury looked at it and noticed that the chain had tons of knots on it.
"This pendant is connected to your dimension, the diamond on the bottom represents the stability of your dimension and the chain is somewhat like the red chain from your dimension, but instead of controlling Palkia and Dialga this chain knots up if the dimension is on the verge of destruction." Then he pulled out another pendant, this had a black star on it and its chain was completely knotted except for a few loose chains.
"You see this pendant right here this one is connected to my world, which means my world is on the verge of destruction. Now compare both pendants my world's pendant has one huge knot on it and your world's pendant has a bunch of small knots on it, do you know what that means?" Mercury shook his head and the cloaked Dustin continued.
"It means that your dimension has fragmented into different realities."
"So what, why should I care about these alternate realities?"
"Well you see, your dimension is like a house of cards, stacked perfectly together it can be a think of beauty but if one card falls out of place the whole thing collapses, in lame mans terms if one reality falls so do the others."
"O my Arceus, is there anything I can do to stop this?"
"Well you can't do anything right now since your dead but that can work both ways" then the cloaked Dustin got up and jump up, his body flipped in midair and he landed right in front of Mercury. He continued
"You want to save alternate realities but your mind and body is bound to your alternate reality, but not your soul. Don't worry there is still another way, and it can benefit the both of us."
"What is it?"
"I can bring you back to life, in exchange for a small chunk of your soul so I can make a copy of you or in other terms a clone. What do you say?"
"Wait, what will happen if I let you take a chunk? Will I change in any form?"
"No, no, no nothing will happen to you. Over time your soul will make a replacement piece for the one that I would take."
"Ok then, you got yourself a deal but on one term after this you must get me my very own legendary pok mon."
"Perfect! Now to make sure that I can get a chunk I want you to think with your heart about the one person that you truly care about."
"Ok I'll try" Mercury closed his eyes and thought to himself about the one person that he truly cared about, as he thought he saw a silhouette of someone. He thought harder and the silhouette had gotten clearer, until the point that he knew who it was, it was Cherry Silph. He couldn't believe it what his heart was saying, it was saying that he was in love with his old friend. As Mercury opened his eyes he saw Dustin Whissel holding in his hand a small blue bead like thing.
"Good job Mercury with this soul fragment I can make your clone and he can prevent the collapse of your dimension, by the way did you find what you sought?" Dustin Whissel asked him
"Yes, and now you must complete your part of the deal"
"Of course" then the cloaked Dustin snapped his finger and a burst of flames appeared over his hand and a goblet appeared from with in. The cloaked Dustin grabbed the goblet and he pulled out a small container from with in his cloak, he opened it and poured a strange red liquid into the goblet, then he handed it over to Mercury.
"Here you go, but I must warn you this liquid does have a side effect, it might change your appearance in a tiny bit or it could change you completely. So after saying that, do you still want to take it?" Dustin Whissel said to Mercury. Mercury nodded and raised the goblet and started to drink the red liquid, and after Mercury drank the last drop of the strange red liquid, he felt a sharp pain emitting from his eyes, he yelled out in pain while the other Dustin just stood in front of him, watching. As soon as the pain went away the other Dustin pulled out a mirror out of his cloak and gave it to Mercury.
"How much stuff do you have in that cloak?" Mercury questioned the other Dustin and he replied "Only the things I needed for this moment", then Mercury turned his attention to the mirror and when he saw his reflection he was in shock, for his eyes iris had change from the colour brown to a sinister red.
"Hahaha, I must say you got lucky. The only thing that changed was your iris, and to be honest I didn't really know what was going to happen, because I have never really brought someone back from the dead."
"Wait what?" Mercury shouted out at him, and then suddenly Mercury was starting to vanish.
"Well it looks like your time here is up, but before you return to your world let me ask you something, what should we call your clone?" Dustin asked Mercury
"Call him Mercury; I don't need that name anymore. For now on I'm Dustin Berlitz." Mercury paused for a second and continued "Wait what will happen to my body, remember I crashed into a mountain which I think I might have broken some bones, and I have a stalagmite where my heart is suppose to be."
"Don't worry, the liquid should have healed almost all your wounds and before you got here I destroyed the stalagmite, so all you have to worry about is the boulders that are burying you, I think your pok mon are on top of that."
"Will I ever see you again?" Mercury asked Dustin Whissel right before he disappeared.
"Who knows, only time will tell? So long Dustin Berlitz." Dustin Whissel said to Mercury, and with that Mercury vanished from the distortion world and returned to his dimension. Mercury awoke and took a big breath of air, he looked around and he saw his Feraligatr, Metagross, Togekiss, Salamence, and his fathers Latios and Latias all gathered around him. Mercury placed one of his hands over he spot where he was impaled, there was no wounds, but he knew that it wasn't a dream because there was a huge hole in his clothes. He got up from the ground and hugged all his pok mon then he took off his Galactic jacket, hr threw it on the ground and he told his Salamence to burn it. Salamence used its flamethrower and the jacket burst into flames, then Mercury returned all his pok mon to their pok balls, then he started walking up Mt. Coronet, right towards Spear Pillar and right towards Cyrus.
