Chapter 13: What's a King to a God?
Warning: The following chapter contains blood, violence, and dark themes you would see in a Rated M fanfiction. Reader's discretion is advised.
Location: Lake Rage, Johto Region
King Ghidorah watches the League Council leaving their "authority chairs" as he calls it with his Unown-sona seeing that the humans were more than just primitive people. These people were having trouble to take care of a young black hair kid from winning a competition just because of his bloodline? This made him laugh for five minutes and he now understands that these humans were predictable than he could ever thought. Not only that, but they also seem to be scared of a young bluenette girl for the same reason as the raven hair boy. Though, he did get antsy when he watched Rodan transform into Yamato Rodan and saved Titanosaurus from Mecha-Groudon. He has never seen those two before, only remembering Gojira and Gigamoth that defeated him and his brother Desghidorah sixty-five million years ago. Now with these new monsters that appeared during his absence but the ones that weren't created by the humans must've mean some of the creatures from the other dimension followed him and his brother without knowing.
King Ghidorah snaps his fingers as the small psychic orb dissolve as he spins around his arm chair and look out at Lake Rage. Giovanni has given him a mansion near Lake Rage in Johto Region that he owned for a "vacation home" during his work. Though he never uses it, he had to make it look presentable whenever something terrible happens if his plans go awry. And that is a BIG "if". Not only did he get a mansion, but the Team Rocket CEO also gave him some of his grunts as King Ghidorah's servants whenever he needed something. It was nice, but completely unnecessary to the King of Terror, he didn't need any measly primates to protect him. Even though he's at ten percent of his power, he doesn't need saving like a damsel in distress to a prince charming. It was pathetic to say the least. However, he had learned a lot more than he originally did ever since he had Giovanni as his horsemen of the apocalypse, as what the humans calls it. He has learned so much about the human history and each region's habitats, Pokémon, people, culture, history, and its evil organization.
For starters; Kanto and Johto are then only regions that have been invaded by Team Rocket and is considered the biggest and the most active organization to this date since 1960s to today. Hoenn, was the first region to have two organizations, Team Magma and Team Aqua, who had different ideas on how to rule the earth. Both were defeated after Groudon defeat the possessed Kyogre from Team Aqua leader Archie and Team Magma leader Maxie laid low until now. Sinnoh had Team Galactic, who's leader, Cyrus, disappeared into a portal after trying to create a new universe by summoning Dialga and Palkia, but failed. Then there's Unova and their "Pokémon Liberation" organization: Team Plasma and their leader, Ghetsis. Team Flare was Kalos', but they had made a move as of now and not knowing what they're planning with their leader Lysandre. And finally, but least in his opinion, Alola region with their poor excuse of an organization: Team Skull.
The Tyrant King knew full well that each of the evil organization's ideals thanks to the internet and Mesprit's telekinetic powers and he knew that some have either disbanded or is still active. The only ones that are is Team Rocket, Team Plasma, Team Flare, and Team Skull. Team Magma is now under total control of the Pokémon League and Team Aqua is unknown other than they helped Lilycove City to evacuate when Rodan appeared. Of course, he knew that he needs to find his next follower but just who? That's when he remembered that while one of his watches during Opelucid City being leveled by the two kaiju and mecha, one of the humans stood out of a bunch of humans. He created another psychic orb to look at the city once more to look for the certain person. He came across the same raven hair boy and female bluenette with their groups of friends and begin looking at each of their faces.
One by one, he looks very carefully at their features to see if he or she was the one, until he spotted two green hair male humans and begin looking at them. One was wearing a black vest and pants, white button-up shirt, and a green bowtie. The other one had really long hair, wearing a white collar shirt, black shirt underneath, black and white hat, grey pants, green shoes and some strange accessories on both his pants and around his neck. He looks at the tall boy's pale blue eyes as he quickly recognized who he was.
Nathaniel "Natural Tropius" Harmonia, or N as others call him, son of the leader of Team Plasma Ghetsis Harmonia.
Ghidorah's lips begin to smile sinisterly as he watches N interacting with the other humans. He looks very carefully at both the boy and girl the Council were talking about. Ash and Dawn were their names if he recalled. He doesn't know what makes them a threat to the Council, but he can deal with that later, right now, he now needs to find his second horseman. He got up from his chair as he made his way to the door and opens it, where two Rocket grunts were standing beside the door.
"Gentlemen, I'm going to Unova for a while. Make sure to welcome our new members when I return." King Ghidorah told them.
The two grunts saluted at the human-guised hydra at him with no signs of falter. "Yes King Ghidorah! Sir!"
King Ghidorah chuckles at their response as he made his way to the entrance of the house. 'I can get use to this.' He made it to the door and pushed it wide open as he dissolved into thousands of golden red-eye Unowns to the sky, making way towards Team Plasma's base.
Location: Team Plasma HQ, Unova Region
After a few hours of traveling, he has finally made it to the location of Team Plasma's base. King Ghidorah has been getting some trouble finding the base if it weren't for finding one of the grunts poaching some wild Pokémon and been tailing them from the sky as the grunts went back to the base. He transform in a safe distance from being seen by anyone as he transform into a shiny Mightyena before trekking the woods as he made sure not to make any suspicion. The base that lie before him was something that a prideful and sloth leader of Team Plasma. It was a mansion-like castle that was under construction that look like it has been through hell with the top of being completely burnt off by either an accidental fire in the mansion, a raid, or by a Legendary Pokémon.
He bet it was the third.
He watch as the grunts out of the vehicle and begin to walk to the door as more grunts came out and help the others with their poached Pokémon to get inside the mansion. Ghidorah laid low as he witness the whole thing before they all enter back into the mansion as the doors closed behind them. He walk towards the entrance of the door as it stood quite tall in his disguised form. He couldn't care how well the architectures were made, no matter how well it look, it was still a building he will crush beneath his feet. As far as he's concerned, getting to Ghetsis is the main goal as he looks for any opening in the castle.
'Now, if I were a thief; where do I go?'
He looks up to see the top was still in reconstruction, knowing that the roofs were not officially patch-up. His canine maw grin a sinister grin as he knew where he could make his grand entrance.
"Bingo."
His Pokémon form dissolved back into a his Unowns swarm as he makes his way to the roof. The roof was indeed not officially repaired, but it was almost to the point of completion. But nonetheless, he found his opening and made his way to the unfinished hole and into the mansion. The inside of the castle was in a latter of terms; large and empty. From what he could tell, it was more of a medieval style of decorations and atmosphere. Though he never been into the castle before, so this was the first time being in one. He transform into his human form, though as a Plasma grunt to make sure not give off any alarms. His uniform was still the same like any of the other grunts, but his hair and eyes remain the same as he makes his way through the corridors. He used his telepathic powers to get a good mapping on the large place as he sees a training room, a throne room, a bedroom what look like it was made for kids, a large kitchen and dining room, multiple bedrooms, and a laboratory underground.
The laboratory is what caught his attention. There it was heavily guarded with grunts and it had the Pokémon that Team Plasma "caught" and "captured" in both the wild and in public. Of course, he knew where Ghetsis is, in his personal office and the Seven Sages in the throne room. But if he's going to drag the "Great and Mighty" Ghetsis out of his dark room, then he needs to get his attention. He begins to walking towards to the laboratory with the map inside his telepathy to make sure he doesn't get lost and it only took five minutes to find the stairs that led down. He kept at a moderate pace as he reach the bottom of the stairs and open the door. Inside was a hallway and it look like something from a battleship than a white hallway. With large wires and long lights hanging from the ceiling as many took his opportunity as he turned off his telepath map and made his way to the end.
He could see that there were two grunts, but these ones were not wearing the traditional white and blue hood. These grunts were wearing a black and grey similar to a ninja with their face covered with a grey fabric mouth guard and a black beret with a white "X" on it. They took notice of his presence at Ghidorah coming towards them, they block the metal door to prevent this strange grunt from entering.
"Halt, what is your business here?"
"Forgive me, but I was sent by Lord Ghetsis to get the reports from our latest capture." Ghidorah lied.
"Lord Ghetsis wouldn't sent down a grunt to do the reports." one of the grunts countered.
King Ghidorah stayed silent, without making eye contact with the two. He knew that lie wouldn't get anywhere and if there's one thing he hates most that rivals his hatred for Gojira, Gigamoth, and Arceus and his offspring: is lying. His blood red eyes open, glaring at them as their stances stiffens as they look right at him with fear.
"So much for that." he sighed.
Before they could react, he move in inhuman speed as his arms transform into what they fathom was Kabutops' scythe-like arms before slicing their throats with blood spewing out. Their bodies fell to the floor with a thud as the crimson liquid continues to drain from their bodies. Ghidorah's now scythe hands transform back to his human form, but the blood had soak his uniform and hands. A few blood splotches was on his face, but he didn't notice nor care as he looks at the door in front of him, still lock. He heavily sighs as he points his fingers like a gun as the electric energy begin to spark. He fired his Gravity Bolt at the door, altering the gravity as the pressure on the door made its hinges break and explode. The door starts to fall as it made a loud thump as it echoed for anyone who can hear it.
King Ghidorah begin to walk over the lifeless corpse as he made his way to the controller room. As he was midway of the hallway, a siren was blared as he sees more grunts coming out of the corner of the hallway, pulling out their Pokéballs as they stare at the intruder. The disguised hydra look only with bemusement, knowing that it was going to be a pain in the ass to get to the control room, but as long he gets Ghetsis' attention, then that's all that matters.
"You are foolish if you think you can kill me." he said with no signs of emotions.
A few grunts threw their Pokéballs as the light materialized into some Liepard, Scrafty, Garbodor, and Watchog. All of Plasma's Pokémon were making growls and hisses at the intruder, though they couldn't make eye contact as they mysterious Plasma grunt's red eyes were as if looking through the Gates of Hell itself. King Ghidorah shook his head and "tsk" pitifully only to have his eyes glow bright red as his bloody gloved hands was now surrounded by yellow static of electricity. His razor sharp teeth glow by the luminous light as he smiles like a maniac but his eyes look calm and yet menacing at the same time. Making him more demonic than ever.
"You're funeral."
Colress was basically going through the computer's data out of boredom as not much has happened around the castle other than the usual capturing Pokémon and waiting for N's return with the White Stone that as legends said; to contain the Legendary Pokémon of Truth, Reshiram. Though since the giant golden Hydreigon appeared and more giant Pokémon-like monsters appeared, it did make him get a little excitement from seeing the destruction. And with the recent battle in Opelucid City caused by Rodan, Titanosaurus, and Mecha-Groudon, and the fact that said Rodan transform what he could say was Mega Evolution and destroyed the robotic Legendary made him want to create his own.
That's the reason why he was going through the computer's data; to create the perfect Fusion Pokémon or as he likes to call it: Fusémon.
He already had some blueprints of some Fusémon ideas for Lord Ghetsis to use and possibly Team Plasma, though despite the whole idea of his, he doesn't seem to have the technology or the resources to pull it off. Ever since their Mewtwo that Colress created a few years, before joining Team Plasma as head scientist, all of his research on creating a whole new Pokémon was up in flames but at least he got some results out of it. To him, that's what really matters to him; the results of the projects, whether it was successful or not. He would use those results to further in on his lust for knowledge. Even if he's no longer part of Team Plasma, he will always will find a way to get results.
That is when he heard an explosion coming from the far side of the secret lab.
"What the hell is going on?!" Colress yells.
A black clad Plasma grunt came out of the door with heavy panting and breathing from running.
"Sir Colress, there has been a breach in the lab!"
"Well don't just stand there! Go out there and stop whoever's attacking the base!"
"Yes sir!"
The grunt ran out of the room as the head scientists was left alone. Seeing that he was finally alone, he switch the computer data as he went for the security cameras. He switch from each camera to find where that explosion came from and what or who caused it, until he found what he was looking for. A white and sky blue clad Team Plasma grunt was walking over two dead guards with their throats slit wide open as the blood leak out of the open wounds. The grunt that was walking over the corpses was covered in blood, mostly his hands and a few on his face. He would've assume it to be probably one of Ghetsis' way of testing security with N's Zoroark if it weren't for what came after it.
More Plasma grunts came to the corridor and threw some of the usual Pokémon Team Plasma has, but just when he thought nothing of it, the white clad grunt instantly exploded into a thousand of golden Unowns and transforming into a giant and golden Drapion. For starters, he clearly knows that Zoroark will change forms with a pink and magenta aura around it and trick its opponents to think that they're being attack by it's illusions. This intruder transforms into a horde of golden and red-eye Unowns and turn into a golden version of a Bug/Poison type Pokémon with the same red eyes.
Secondly, that it was the size of the Drapion was now being exaggerated to the point it was touching the ceiling with just its head. If whatever this strange creature was has the ability to change forms like a Ditto and the Zorua evolution line, then it could be a new Pokémon to capture and study. But there was a problem, he could tell this wasn't a Pokémon. This "thing" was just slaughtering the Dark types and their grunts like a rabid beast. Using its razor sharp pincers and hack or crush its poor victims that not even a normal Drapion could do. Not only that, but it was firing what he could see was a Charge Beam. He knew that Drapions can't learn that move. So whatever it was, it must've been an Electric type with an unknown secondary typing.
He continues watching the bloody carnage as he continues to switch the monitors as the thing continue to change forms to Sevipor, Kabutops, Salamance, and some kind of creature having its whole body covered in a crude costume of a Pikachu. He would've find it cute if it weren't as big a human being and using its stony tail to decapitate the grunts heads before crushing the Pokéballs underneath its cloak. The massacre made Colress look both in awe and horror as the it head towards the control room. Whatever it was, it was looking for something or someone.
The head scientists fixated his glasses, knowing that something like this can't happened once in a while. He decides that it's now or never to this opportunity and quickly see what this creature can do.
"Of course", he said to himself, "Not after having Lord Ghetsis know about this discovery."
He turn on his blue tooth as he waits for someone to answer. Luckily it had.
"Ah Aldith, can you send Lord Ghetsis a message for me?"
Ghetsis stays in his dark office for quite some time. He had been waiting for his son to return with the White Stone as he begins he quest to rule over Unova the way he sees fit. Of course, N was useful to him having him bend to his will and broke him at a young age, but like all tools of his they will break. It won't be long till he can dispose of N and others like him to take Unova under complete control and then destroy other organizations that stood in his path of conquest. The only one active and that was in his region was Team Rocket.
Ever since those three bumbling idiots from the Kanto Region that showed up, it has made him paranoid to no end to think that they're spies to take over each region when the former evil organization like Team Magma, Team Aqua, and Team Galactic are defeated by some pesky kids traveling around the world. And was able to figure that out all thanks to the said three idiotic Team Rocket members they oh-so trying to capture.
Ash Ketchum, a kid from Pallet Town, Kanto started his adventures at age ten and his starter as Pikachu. Alongside him were his friends who change time from time whenever he goes to a new region. This time he was with Striation City Gym Leader Cilan Woods and a dark skin girl from the Dragon Village Iris Drake. That was the case until some from his previous friends came and are now with him. Misty Waterflower the Cerulean City Gym Leader, May Maple the Coordinator from Petalburg City, Hoenn with her boyfriend Drew Shū and Max Maple and finally Dawn Berlitz the Coordinator from Twinleaf City, Sinnoh Region. There were some others with him like a blonde Unovan girl and his son N, who he prayed to Arceus that he doesn't realize about his father's evil schemes and a bluenette ace trainer from Hoenn. He didn't care much of the last two, but if Ash and his friends decided to butcher everything he has work for then all hell will break loose.
That is when it's not being attack by giant monsters.
His door then begin to knock, snapping out of his train of thought.
"Who is it?"
"Lord Ghetsis, there has been an intrusion in the castle!" a female voice said from the other side of the door.
His response was running towards and burst the door wide open that scared the grunt.
"Explain Aldith." he said darkly and menacing.
The ginger black clad Plasma grunt female, known as Aldith, hid her sudden reaction, keeping her monotone look.
"There has been an attack in the laboratory. Colress has told me to get you immediately." she explains.
Ghetsis knew Colress didn't had that of humor if it was something drastic and if he did, he would've been dead on the spot.
"Take me there." he ordered.
Aldith led her green hair leader to the downstairs of the lab, not saying anything. They only arrived at the destination only five minutes, only to be greeted by a male black clad Plasma grunt. The grunt step aside as the two walk past by him and he followed pursuit.
"Barret. Status, now." Ghetsis says harshly.
"Lord Ghetsis, the intruder seems to have overpower our security. But—"
"But what?"
They finally made it to the bottom, but when they reach the entrance, they were greeted with the dead bodies and a destroyed door. Whoever or whatever did this, this surprised Ghetsis and scared Aldith.
"—That." Barret finished.
The green hair Sage's gaze on the dead bodies didn't last long, as he walk over the corpses and move towards the broken door as he found more corpses of grunts and Pokémon that were maimed and killed in different ways that he could imagine. Some were sliced in half, others were burnt, crushed, you name it. It was there. Ghetsis continues to walk pass by the dead bodies, almost to the point of unrecognizable as he could see some of their organs spewing out of their once living bodies and suffered the same fate as the outside of the bodies. This made Ghetsis feel something that he shouldn't be feeling from the horrid sight.
Excitement.
Excitement that he could use whatever did this for his own personal gain and finally rid those who has been a thorn on their side for far too long. He could finally get rid of Team Rocket that has been pestering in his region for quite some time and he could take over the Kanto and Johto region after he takes over Unova and dispose of his so called son. He could be unstoppable and with the help of Colress creating some powerful Fusémon at his disposal, he could become the most powerful human being on the planet. Yes, that's what he's going to do. Get rid of anything that gets in his way with the intruder's powers and take control of not only the Fusémon, but also the giant monsters at his disposal. He could reign supreme and everyone around him will either bow to him or die.
His wild dreams came to a stop when he finally hears voices coming from around the corner.
'The intruder must've went to the Control Room.' he thought.
As he, Aldith, and Barret were closer to the sounds of voices talking to one another. It was very distinguish who they were.
"You think we would betray our Lord Ghetsis for your selfish needs?!" an old man yells accusingly.
The three knew that this was none other than Sage Zinzolin, the most aggravating Sage out of the Seven Sages. Even Ghetsis can't stand him when he begins preaching loudly. Only Ghetsis HIMSELF is only allowed to do that.
"You are really foolish to think that mortal." another voice said monotonously.
That voice was male but was dark and like all other cliche things a person could think of. But it was the only thing Ghetsis could think of when hearing this voice. The three finally arrived to see Colress and Zinzolin were standing next to a golden blonde man covered in blood. The man's yellow suit was stained in so much blood, it must've soak right to his other clothing and yet it didn't seem to notice that was the case or just didn't care. What stood out the most from this man was his reptilian blood red eyes, that seems more demonic than Ghetsis' ruby eyes. Aldith and Barret were terrified when they finally see the intruder at first hand and to see he was stained by their fallen comrades' blood made them all the more enrage and scared to death.
Ghetsis finally spoke. "Who are you?"
The man smiles and properly bows down to him.
"My name is King Ghidorah and I'm here for a proposition you can't refuse."
"Oh?"
"You see, I needed to get your attention in order to tell you about it and it work. But ever since I got here—"
"THIS MAN HERE CLAIMS HE'S THE GIANT GOLDEN HYDREIGON THAT DESTROYED THE SMALL VILLAGE IN SINNOH AND HE WANTS TO USE US FOR HIS PERSONAL GAMES!" Zinzolin accused
"My my, hasn't your mother told you not to interrupt?" Ghidorah said sarcastically.
"Why you—" Zinzolin was about to yell at King Ghidorah if it weren't for Ghetsis stopping him.
"ENOUGH ZINZOLIN!"
Ghetsis' sudden roar at the old man made him squeak, it made Ghetsis' stress reduce only a bit.
"Now, explain yourself." he said more calmly but still dark.
"Gladly." King Ghidorah said.
He stretches out his arm as it transform into one of his heads as he did when showing Giovanni, of course with his arm separated into a thousand of golden Unowns before turning into said hydra head. Causing for everyone to be in total shock, but Colress was the only who wasn't terrified but was more intrigued and fascinated. Nothing like this has ever happened and it made the blonde more fascinated than anything. Ghidorah transform his hydra arm back to his human arm, rubbing it like he has done it a thousand of times and yet it was still draining.
"There has to be another way to me to do this." Ghidorah joked dryly. "You see, I am looking for someone to lead my army. Four to be exact. I already have one, but I need another one, one that has the power of an empire. That is, what I was told by Doctor Colress here."
He gestures towards the tall blonde, making him chuckle.
"Oh, you don't have to be so formal Your Highness." he chuckles still.
"Colress! Don't acknowledge as 'Highness'!" Zinzolin scolds.
Ghidorah and Colress ignores the old man as the golden blonde continue talking.
"You have seen the powers I can do with that pathetic little village in the mountains of Sinnoh. I know your intentions Ghetsis, you wish to use me as your plans to conquer this piece of land for yourself."
Ghetsis doesn't know how to react to this, no one knew on what his plans were about the giant monsters, except for Colress. How in the hell did the strange creature know about his plans and why did he appeared to him to offer his alliance to him was beyond his comprehension. He always wanted to take over Unova but couldn't allow anyone know about his plans, until his surrogate son, N, said he wants to free the Pokémon from the evil humans when he was just a child. He knew his manipulations would work on the poor soul and begin to create Team Plasma. But now with this "thing" in front of him came in and knew about his recent plans and it made wonder...
"How?" he said in a hush tone.
King Ghidorah smiles darkly revealing his razor sharp teeth, also covered in blood.
"You can thank the Being of Emotions for giving me telepathy."
"Well even you were to read my mind, then you can forget it!" Ghetsis says full of pride and hatred, "I am Ghetsis Harmonia, future ruler of Unova, and you are nothing more than a mere serpent of lies. You will bow down to me and call me your King!"
"What is a king to a God?" King Ghidorah said amusingly.
"What is a God to a nonbeliever?!" Ghetsis roars as he threw his Pokéball and out came his powerful Pokémon, Hydreigon.
The black and blue hydra roars ferociously at the human disguised hydra as its red eyes glared hatefully. King Ghidorah closes his eyes and sighs heavily, figuring out that despite manipulating someone like Ghetsis was impossible to some mortals. He didn't want to waste time doing a Pokémon battle, he felt the waste of energy for each time he separates himself to create another "him" to do a battle. So, he decides to do something he would've consider... Drastically.
He open his reds eyes now glowing the same blood red color as gold and black aura surround his entire body before engulfing him. His body changed as his skin went from a normal white to a dark tone with some rotten golden color scales emerging. The white sclera became black while the red iris stayed the same. The blood stains on his body and clothes begin to evaporate into red smoke. The clothes also change, the golden business suit and pants went completely black with some golden marks on it to resemble some kind of battle armor. His clean and kept blonde hair was now ruined when it became obsidian black with some yellow highlights at the end. But what made him truly threatening was when he begin to grow and sprout three horns on his head, patterned the same black and yellow color, black and yellow wings and black twin tails. He also double his size as he looks down at the Brutal Pokémon with malice and insanity within the reptilian red eyes that not even the Brutal Pokémon could rival.
The menacing aura around the disguised hydra disappear, nothing but complete silence as everyone around the beast was in complete horror as if it's the only emotion they know when looking upon the demonic being. Without warning, Ghidorah lunges towards the black and blue hydra in ungodly speed that surpass Deoxys and with one swift motion from his hands, decapitated Hydreigon's middle head. Without any type of response, the now decapitated Pokémon fell to the ground with blood leaking from the open wound. Ghetsis looks in horror, surely that his Pokémon—the strongest in fact—was killed off with just one single strike without any signs of fighting back. It all happened so suddenly and now he's staring right at the face of Death itself. Then, everything was a blur to him. One minute he was staring at King Ghidorah's new form standing over his dead Hydreigon's body and now he's on the floor of the throne room with broken ribs and a trail and a hole from the large door. He can't feel his his legs nor arms, hell he can't feel anything all but his eyes' movement. He painfully looks up to see King Ghidorah flying over him with his devilish wings of his looking down at the crippled leader of Team Plasma with everyone watching. All of Team Plasma's grunts were in disbelief to see the being and their leader in a worsen state and none of them have the courage to stand against the demon that laid before them.
King Ghidorah has been keeping this strange new form since he could remember. He stole some of his brother's manna before being sealed away in Mount Coronet and now for the first time since then, he has finally tap into this new power. He could feel his brother's power within him, as if they fused together as one entity. But it wasn't enough, this would kill him if he doesn't end this soon. It drains way too much energy and could prevent him from returning back to his normal self, but for now, he has to make Ghetsis pay. He nose dive towards Ghetsis, slamming his feet onto his rib cage, causing several bones to break and blood coming out of the green hair man's mouth and scream in agony. The black human hydra could hear the people screaming their leader's name, but he knew full well that they are too terrified to face him. He grabs Ghetsis' neck, almost choking him, before stepping off of him and slowly lifting him up from the ground where both of their red eyes meet. Ghidorah's gaze never left him as he could see both fear and anger within Ghetsis' eyes.
"Do you believe now?" Ghidorah said in a demonic tone.
Ghetsis could only spout a few words, struggling to breathe while being choke to death.
"G-G-Go to H-Hell..."
Ghidorah tsked before using he sent a powerful voltage from his hand that gripped Ghetsis and sent it through his entire body. Ghetsis cries in pain and agony as the shock intensified throughout his body, believing that he would die right here on his throne. But the shock faded as he was barely breathing, his arms and legs went limp and his eyes start to droop. He didn't even respond when his left eye was gouged out, where his visor use to be, with blood coming out of it and falling to the ground. King Ghidorah reverted back to his normal form, his skin went back to white, his clothes were no longer black and gold, and the horns, wings and tails withdrew back into his body. His hair became clean and kept and so did his eyes, not long till he sighed from the burning power that reside in him and he was glad he did just in time. He now knew that getting Team Plasma on his side was a waste of time and he regret ever coming hear. He didn't say anything, he just turns around and walks away from the scene and out of the building. Many Plasma grunts moved past by him but were more concern for their leader's fatal health and knew not to get in the now blonde man's way. He could feel Zinzolin's hatred and fear coming from the secret lab's entrance when he continue walking towards the big doors and push them open. His mind was wracking with nothing more than painful headaches and drain of any sense of his surroundings, to the point he wasn't aware that he was being followed.
"My my, you put up quite the show there." a voice said, clapping slowly.
King Ghidorah turns around to see Colress with his usual smirk on his face.
King Ghidorah groans irritably, "What do you want Colress? I am very tired and pissed off right now, so don't you even dare try an—"
"You sure are an interesting fellow I must say." Colress laughs, "I want to join your charade."
The hydra's red eyes widen, looking at the mad man hoping what he said was accurate.
"Say that again."
"I said I want to join you quest."
And sure enough, King Ghidorah wasn't dreaming. He looks into the blonde's amber eyes to see his true intentions. And what he found was interesting, so he decides to play along.
"Oh? Do tell."
"No need to act like your shock Lord Ghidorah, I can tell you are a very skeptical kind of... being." Colress said when trying to find that word.
"You seem to have a reason to join me, but I would want to hear it anyways." he said.
Colress shrugs and sighs, "Very well. You see, when I first saw you on the monitor killing those grunts as you change into Pokémon... I don't know how to describe it. You were truly a remarkable creature that no one has ever seen! Ever since you made your debut in Sinnoh and the other creatures appeared after you, I just HAVE to know more about it. I thought Ghetsis would be interested to see the ideals I was having, I think he was having a different ideas.
"Anyways, let's cut to the chase. You say you want an army, I can take care of that. But you need those giant creatures gone OR I can find a way to make them join you."
"I'm listening." King Ghidorah said now intrigued.
"I'm conducting giant monsters of my own, but I can't seem to figure out how to make them the right size to fight them. I already have a few concepts for the create them and they are worthy of power if I do say so myself. But for controlling the monsters, I have created a device that was originally used to control the God of Truth, Reshiram, once we revived him from his slumber."
Colress pulls out a tablet and gave it to King Ghidorah as the hydra looks at the device that Colress was talking about. It was an interesting device but it seem to have connected to a large computer to the device with a glass cage with a Pokémon with their eyes glowing red. He flip through the concepts where it shows microscopic devices behind the Pokémon's head where it controls the creature's mind and it did made his mind a little bit interested. But that's when he reached towards Project: Fusémon. Some of them were combination of different Pokémon to create a new Pokémon, however, he spots two that really caught his eyes. One of them was a Garchomp-like with cybernetic body parts with three sails on its back, red visors, and a chainsaw in its torso. The other one was a giant brown Heracross with some yellow stripes on its back, a silver horn, and drills that resemble Exacdrill's claws. The two Fusémon seem to resemble those from his world long ago before he slaughtered them before arriving in this dimension and now he's looking at the Plasma's almost exact replica of them.
"How do I know you're not going to turn against me?" King Ghidorah said after looking at the concepts.
Colress grins maliciously, "I'm a man of my word, but I can't join you instantly. I'm a man who's cautious about my plans and the consequences that lie ahead. So, I will stay behind to help Ghetsis to revive Reshiram and kill the Seven Sages. The ones in white may gave you potential to your plans, but it's the ones you killed are the real Team Plasma. Once they're dead, I'll lead Team Plasma and give them to you as your army."
The deal seems to good to be true for anyone, especially for the King of Terror. Once again, he look into Colress's mind to find any deception and further into his subconscious. It almost reminds him as himself, Colress was like his human counterpart in every way possible. The charm, manipulation, and tone was almost as if not only did the world have ironically created a Pokémon that looks like him but also a human that has his personality. Minus the whole destroying life. He's everything that what makes a mad scientist to become and he's no exception. Colress, was the next horseman to King Ghidorah's reign.
"Very well then. You kill Ghetsis and the Sages when I return to see you are true to your word. If that 'King' of your's gets in the way. Don't hesitate." King Ghidorah said in a stern tone.
"Have no fear Lord Ghidorah" Colress laughs, "King N is nothing more than a puppet that will no longer be of use to Team Plasma and the likes. Besides, it's those who's N has befriended that I want to destroy."
King Ghidorah knew who he was mentioning about. Soon, he will have the world at his talons and he will kill not only those who defeated his enemies descendants, but also Arceus and his children as well. His smile was noticeable and terrifying to look at.
"It's a pleasure having you Colress." he said bowing down to him.
"I can say the same for you Lord Ghidorah."
Colress smiles and waves him goodbye as he walks back to the castle-like mansion. King Ghidorah finally has his second horseman and he was seeing his trip to Team Plasma's headquarters wasn't a complete waste of time at all. Fate seems to be at his favor and it made him laugh evilly.
"This world will be mine. No one will be able to stop me."
He transforms into his golden Unown horde as he returns back to his hideout in Lake Rage, unbeknownst to him, he was being watched. Throughout the whole conversation between him and Colress, a Zoroark was watching the whole thing while disguising himself as one of the foliage before reverting back to his normal self. The evil hydra and the head scientist was planning to assassinate Ghetsis and the Sages. Truly, he couldn't care about Ghetsis's death, but when he heard that his master, N, was to be killed if he intervenes. That what scared him the most.
"I have to warn Concordia and Anthea." Zorark said worriedly as he makes his way back to the mansion, hoping to find the Goddess of Peace and the Goddess of Love.
