Kingdom Hearts: Celestial order's Revenge

Chapter 14: Cipher's return and Phenac City

As our heroes went back to pyrite town, they noticed that the ONBS building has turned into an hostage building.

"Something's not right, let's hurry inside." Wind Crowrang said as our heroes went inside to investigate.

"Oh, it's you guys, please save Megg." Bodybuilder Ken said.

"What happened?" Sora asked.

"It's the Ciphers, they hold us hostage and demand they want the data rom back." Bodybuilder Ken said.

"Those guys again, don't worry, we'll stop them." Bobby replied as our heroes hurried on to the top floor to rescue the hostages.

They managed to snag some Shadow Pokemon along the way while took down the Ciphers in every corner.

When they went inside the office, they found the Commander of the Ciphers named Exol tried to demand the ONBS to hand over the Data rom, but little did Exol suspect that the data rom was actually a decoy set up by a maverick hunter named Lumine.

"Sorry Exol, but the data rom we gave it to you was a decoy, so you're out of luck." Lumine said.

"Grrr, alright, that's it, she's gonna die!" Exol said.

"Not this time Exol!" Sora said as our heroes stopped Exol from killing Megg as Vanishing Gungaroo uppercut Exol in the jaw.

"Guys, thank goodness you're here." Megg said.

"What happened?" Bobby asked.

"It's the Ciphers, they hold us hostage, but luckily a person came from the portal showed up and saved us, it said here name is Lumine." Nett said.

"Lumine?" Dark Mantis asid.

"Yeah, wait, you guys know her?" Bitt asked.

"We sure did, back in our world, Lumine helped X, Zero, Axle, and us Reploids out a lot." Izzy Glow said.

"(groan) what happened, huh? It's you punks, you're the guys who made a terrible mistake back at Cipher lab!" Exol said.

"All part of the job." Sora said.

"Grrr, (Cracks knuckles) you morons have gone to far, now, time for some pounding!" Exol said.

"You're not the only one who has muscles." Eddie said.

"Oh? And just who are you." Exol said.

"I'm Eddie, the toughest Roadie you've ever seen." Eddie said.

"Well, tough or not, you won't stop us." Exol said.

"We'll see about that." Eddie replied as he got ready for a fight against Exol the Cipher Commander.

Boss Battle: Exol

(Cue Boss Music: Cipher Admin battle from Pokemon XD gale of Darkness.)

"Prepare to get clobbered, go Shadow Mawlie and Shadow Klinklang!" Exol said as he sends out Mawlie and Klinklang.

Mawile are short yellow and black Pokémon. Their legs have yellow coverings that give the appearance of a dress or bellbottom pants, and their feet and arms are black. Their most famous feature, though, is a pair of huge, black, toothy, jaw-like horns with a yellow spot on its surface that grow from the backs of their heads. They are able to open and close these jaws at will and use them to bite or ward off potential threats. Mawile also has drooping black extensions from the sides of its head which can be presumed to be ears and red eyes.

Klinklang looks identical to its pre-evolution, Klang, except for the additions of a red-topped gear on its lower side and a thin, spiked rim below it.

"Now that's what I call heavy metal, go get'em Aggron and Grumpig!" Eddie said as he sends out Aggron ang Grumpig.

Aggron are huge, black and gray, monstrous bipedal Pokémon. They stand on their hind legs and may use their arms to attack opponents and pick things up. They have a thick, long, black tail that they can swing at enemies and they have large armor plating on their body and head. Their face and head is covered in gray armor, with the uppermost, pointed plate possessing two pairs of holes on its upper section, with horns protruding from the foremost holes. These horns, which it uses to dig tunnels through bedrock when seeking food, grow a little longer at a time and can be used to determine the individual Aggron's age. Aggron's forehead plating extends past their upper jaws in a small point. Like its pre-evolutions, Aggron has sky-blue eyes, and a nostril-like hole on the tip of its upper jaw. On the rim of its mouth are several pointed, fang-like protrusions, and the nape of its neck and back have gray-colored armor sections. Aggron have pointed black bands on their shoulders, and gray bands on their arms and legs.

Grumpig is a Pokémon based upon a pig that is bipedal. The lower half of its body is black, while the upper half is purple. There is also black on its ears and arms, while its hands and feet are purple. There appear to be three shining black pearls on its body, two on its head and another on its mid-section where the black half meets the purple. These pearls are related to Grumpig's strong psychic powers. Its large ears are useful for hearing and properly directing the sound to the inner ear. It also has a pink snout on its face, along with human-like oval-shaped eyes and a mouth. One of its most notable features is its long and curly pink tail, that may have been what was used to bounce in its previous form, Spoink. It is unknown whether Grumpig is able to use the spring-like tail to its advantage aside from using the move Bounce.

"Let's Rock him down, Snag ball go!" Eddie said as he captures Mawlie.

"Mawlie Captured." Computer said.

"Now for Klinklang, Snag ball go!" Eddie said as he captures Klinklang.

"Klinklang Captured." Computer said.

"And that's how you do it." Eddie said.

"You warriors of light may have won this round, but we'll be back!" Exol replied as he and the rest of Cipher escaped.

"Whew, we're glad they're gone, where's the data rom." Nett said.

"Right here." Sora replied as Ventus handed Nett the data rom as he continues decoded the data until he got it right.

"Yes, we've got it, I think we know why Cipher was holding us hostage, they were planning on the full scale attack at Phenac City." Nett said.

"Phenac City, oh no, Marcia, she went to Phenac City to investigate the incident." Megg said.

"Yeah, we saw her running odd towards the Phenac City when we came here." Bobby said.

"Then we better warn Justy and tell him that Cipher is planning a full-scale attack." Nett said.

"Let us handle Cipher, tell us where to find them." Sora said.

"You guys are going to investigate the incident at Phenac City? That's wonderful, please be careful." Megg said.

"Don't worry guys, we'll drive those Cipher Creeps out of the city in no time." Eddie said as our heroes went onward to investigate the incident at Phenac City.

When they got there, they met up with Vector the croocodile.

"Hey guys, what have you been up to?" Vector asked.

"We're here to investigate the incident." Sora said.

"Well, I'm here to investigate also, but the local of the city gave me the disc case and also told me and you guys to go to a place called Realgam Tower." Vector said.

"Well, then we'll go there first then we'll return here." Bobby said as our heroes went to Realgam tower.

"Hmm, you know, I've got the feeling that we know about the people of phanec city." Ophelia said.

"Maybe double-agents or relitives perhaps." Dark Mantis said.

"Strangely enough, I had a same weird feeling about the people of Phenac city's real identity, it could be you know who." Vector replied.

After our heroes done with the errands, they returned to phenac city to investigate as they got the music disc from the local inside the house.

As our heroes gave the local the music disc so that she can listen to music while they sneak to the mayor's room to investigate.

"There should be a clue somewhere, there it is." Ventus said as they found a clue to the incident of the phenac city.

When they read the letter, they noticed that Phenac city was the target of cipher since year have passed when ciphers thrown off the alliance with team Snagem.

"Oh what have we here, looking at the letter huh?" a local said.

"Yeah, perhaps you guys know about this, or perhaps we should say, Cipher." Bobby said as the local smiled evilly and revealed to be none other than a Cipher Peon and tries to stop them.

Ventus then manages to snag a Shadow Glalie while our heroes went outside to see the entire people are Ciphers in disguise.

Glalie is a round Pokémon with what appears to be black skin. It has two large, conical horns on either side of its head and its skin is covered by ice. This ice recedes in certain places, revealing the black skin. Its eyes are an icy blue and it also seems to have teeth much like a blue whale's baleen plates. It also partly resembles a soccer ball.

Ventus then got to our heroes fighting against the Hexagon Brothers from before as he joins them.

Enemy Battle: Hexagon Brothers 2nd Battle

(Cue Enemy Music: Lumine 2nd form from Megaman x8.)

Our heroes managed to snag new shadow Pokemon from the Hexagon Brothers and they also snag more shadow Pokemon along the way as they went inside the stadium.

(End Enemy Music.)

When our heroes went inside the stadium, they found Marcia and the cameraman got cornered by the Second Cipher Admin named Snattle and 2 of the other Hexagon Brothers named Blasix and Whitsix while snagging 3 shadow Pokemon from the Cipher Peons.

"Hey Snattle, step away from Marcia and the Cameraman." Sora said.

"Hey, it's you guys, I saw you all when I run off to investigate the incident in this city." Marcia said.

"Yes, we're here to rescue you 2." Bobby said.

"We're glad, but Snattle wants the tapes do that he can the governor of Orre but we refused." Marcia said.

"Don't worry, we'll stop them, Aqua, take care of Snattle while we handle Blasix and Whitsix." Sora said.

"You got it Sora, Hey Snattle, wanna battle with me?" Aqua asked.

"Oh, so you want to face me huh? Very well then, I accept your Challenge." Snattle replied as Aqua got ready for battle against Snattle.

Boss Battle: Cipher Admin Snattle 1st battle

(Cue Boss music: Cipher admin battle from Pokemon XD gale of darkness.)

Aqua managed to use the device to indentify the Shadow Pokemons known as Lunatone, Carracosta and Stantler.

Lunatone resembles a crescent moon. It has red eyes on either side of its body and has an unusual beak-like structure in front of it. Being an inorganic Pokémon, it isn't preyed upon, nor does it need to prey on others, as it derives all its energy from moonlight. It uses telekinesis to float in mid-air.

Carracosta resembles a bipedal, blue-colored sea turtle of some sort. Black, rocky structures encrust its face, back, and the sides of its chest, forming prongs on the "mask" and back, and somewhat pocket-like forms on the chest. Its flippers are long, with black fingers or fingerlike structures at the tips. Carracosta has rounded thighs, short legs, and two short black toes on each foot.

Stantler are antlered Pokémon that are similar to real-life reindeer or caribou. These Pokémon are quadrupeds, with each leg ending in a black hoof. The pelt of a Stantler is a tan color with a cream-colored belly and a few cream-colored spots on the back. They have large, brown noses and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. There is confusion whether the tail of a Stantler is cream or brown, since the artwork has differed this way between generations. However, the official artwork from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver depicts Stantler with a brown tail, the same brown as its pelt.

Aqua manages to snag one Shadow Pokemon each from Lunatone to Stantler with ease.

(End Boss music.)

Aqua turned to her right and see the others snag the shadow Pokemon of Blasix and Whitsix.

"Grrr, you fools will pay for this, good thing I let Gorigan do the project from the Ship full of Pokemon, the S.S Libra, let's get out of here." Snattle said as he and the 2 Hexagon Borthers run off to retreat along with the other Ciphers.

Marcia then thanks our heroes and returns to the ONBS building with the cameraman.

"So, what do you think we should do?" Lita asked.

"We free the real people of Phenac City with this Key that Snattle dropped it." Sora said as our heroes went to the Pre Gym and unlock the elevator and freed the people of Phenac City.

"Warriors of light, on behalf of the people of Phenac City, I thank you all sincerely, my name is Trest, the Mayor of the City." Trest said.

"All part of the job Mayor Trest." Sora said.

"Indeed, before you all go, Justy informed me that he asks you all to investigate the desert, if you can't make it there, Nett will help you all out." Trest said.

"Thanks Mayor, see you later." Bobby said.

"Come back anytime warriors of light." Trest replied as our heroes went to the ONBS to talk with Nett.
