Chapter 10: The Darkness Within
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkrai followed Arceus into the throne room and looked down at Spear Pillar, and saw about a dozen Plasma grunts and one of the sages that still follow Ghetsis. Almost immediately, the sound of the Azure Flute echoed from below, and a gold staircase appeared. The Team Plasma members began climbing, and the Legendary Pokémon all backed as far away as they could… all except for Darkrai and Arceus.
"Arceus… I'll take care of this. Hide the others. And don't worry, I can handle these fools easily."
"Very well, but please be careful." Arceus turned to the other Legendary Pokémon. "Follow me, all of you." The group followed Arceus into the halls and left Darkrai to deal with the large group of Team Plasma members.
When Team Plasma reached the top of the stairs, they were met with a single Pokémon. Darkrai. He smiled at them. "Welcome to the Hall of Origin. Now, get out." The Sage approached Darkrai. "we will do no such thing. We are here on Ghetsis's orders. We cannot leave until we have captured a useful legendary Pokémon."
Darkrai smiled malevolently. "Then you'll have to go through ME!" he shouted, as black flames erupted from his left arm and shoulder, solidifying into his red arm and wing. The Team Plasma grunts collectively backed away, all except for the Sage. The Sage pulled a Poke-ball out and tossed it up into the air, and a Pokémon appeared from it. "Garbodor!"
Darkrai raised his clawed arm and laughed. "An… Interesting choice… HAHAHAAA!" Darkrai began disappearing, eventually vanishing completely. The Garbodor looked around confusedly, but couldn't see Darkrai, until Darkrai reappeared inches away and struck it with Faint Attack, dealing a decent amount of damage, leaving Garbodor clutching its stomach, which was where the hit landed. The Sage called out to his Pokémon. "Garbodor, use Clear Smog! Fill the area with it!" Garbodor did as instructed and vented the Poison-type attack all around, catching Darkrai in the middle of the foggy substance. Darkrai gagged on the nasty air and took some damage, but readied another attack. He closed his eyes and focused, then about five more Darkrai appeared, all of which were part of his Double Team attack. He used the confusion to his advantage and rushed at Garbodor, and gripped it's throat with his monstrous arm as red energy engulfed both his arm and his foe. Garbodor began struggling against the fierce grip of its opponent, but to no avail. Darkrai's damage healed itself and he dropped Garbodor, who collapsed into a heap at Darkrai's feet. Darkrai looked at the Sage. "Next." The Sage rallied all of his underlings and they all called out their Pokémon, but suddenly another figure appeared.
The room went dark and a pair of red eyes appeared in the darkness. "Darkrai. You are a part of this world's future… Or lack thereof. will you not accept your destiny and rejoin with me?" the light returned and standing in the middle of the room was a white Darkrai. "Join me in destroying this world!" The white Darkrai's wing and arm appeared and it approached the Good half of Fellbrand. "You must face your part in this world's end!
The black Darkrai took a step back. "I refuse to accept a fate that is chosen by you! You would end this world, but for what? You cannot understand why I fight for what I do, because you only find joy in the misery of others! If you would open your eyes and heart, you would be far happier than if you lived in the world of loneliness you plan to create!
The evil Darkrai began fading away. "I will have my way soon enough. Until then… enjoy your little life of peace, for it will not last long!" and so the evil Darkrai disappeared, leaving the good side of Fellbrand to deal with the Team Plasma members. All of their Pokémon rushed at the distracted Darkrai, and overtook him. Darkrai laid on the ground, badly injured and bleeding. The sage approached and pulled a Master Ball from his belt. "You will join me in taking this world by force." He threw the Master ball at Darkrai, but suddenly a bright red light emanated from Darkrai. He began changing into something else… Something not of this world. As the light receded, his new shape was revealed. He had two red angel wings, two monstrous, sharply clawed arms, his body was armored in red metal, with a red star on his forehead and spiral horns on the sides of his head, and he now had four legs, all of which were sharply pointed and armored. He had become the Fear Form of Fellbrand. He caught the Master Ball and crushed it with the greatest of ease. He spoke, his voice sounded like he was speaking into a fan. "You should not have angered me. Now… this is your final chance! LEAVE OR DIE!" he got into a fighting stance and an aura of pure power radiated from him. The pokemon that stood with Team Plasma turned and ran back down the stairs that lead from the Hall of Origin to Spear Pillar. The Sage took a step back, and pulled out two Great Balls and called out a Sneasel and a Bisharp. Darkrai- err… Fellbrand, rushed at the bisharp and punched it in the stomach, causing it to crumple to the ground in agony, then, with his 6-inch long claws, Darkrai slashed at the Bisharp, cutting deep into its flesh and causing a pool of blood to form at its feet. Fellbrand turned to face Sneasel, who pleaded in its own language, "Sneasel Sneas Snee Sneasel!" (please! Don't hurt me!) Fellbrand approached the helpless pokemon and gripped its throat, lifting it into the air while simultaneously cutting into its flesh, and threw it across the Hall of Origin and down the stairs. The Sage turned to run, but was stopped when Fellbrand shadow-stepped (teleportation to any distance equal to how far your shadow stretches) in front of him and picked him up by his throat. "Game over. Now leave and NEVER COME BACK!" he tossed the Sage down the stairs and then turned around, facing away from the stairs, which disappeared. Fellbrand slowly changed back into Darkrai, and he fell to the ground, completely out of energy, and in excruciating pain. As he looked up at the sky from his place on the ground, two familiar faces came into view. Arceus… and Latias. "I… I'm… sorry." Was all he could say before the pain overwhelmed him and the darkness of unconsciousness took him.
Chapter 10: END
(A/N): I need to clarify a few things, firstly, Both Darkrai (good and evil) can transform into Fellbrand temporarily, but it knocks them out when they run out of power. Secondly: Fellbrand is pronounced "Fellbrund". Also, there are three special attacks that can only be used by the three forms of Fellbrand. One, Blood Reaver, used by Fear form. Two, Impact Pulse, used by Hatred form, and three, Death's Gaze, used by Death form. The attacks do these things: Blood Reaver- heals Fellbrand for DOUBLE the damage dealt. Impact Pulse- priority move that deals 90 damage every time it hits, regardless of the opponent's defenses. And Death's Gaze- instantly kills (actually kills, not just knocks out) his target. Each form of Fellbrand has a unique ability. Fear form- Night Terror, causes all attacks to do double damage in dark places or at night . Hatred form- Infernal Rage, which makes all its attacks critical hits no matter what. And lastly, Death form- Soul Burn, which means if you are defeated by this creature, your soul is devoured and therefor you die and do not get to go to the afterlife. You simply cease to exist right then and there. Kinda like in Dragonball Z when you die while a halo is on your head. Anyway, that's enough rambling for one day, keep reading and let me know how I'm doing!
