Right time to continue with my little apology update spree.
Lloyd: So as a quick reminder in the last chapter Oina was revealed to be a traitor and was defeated by the combined efforts of Flareon Byron and Aria.
Marie: Seems a little unfair when you look back on it, even if Oina had a Mega-evolution to back her up.
PC: shut up you two it's time for the readers to learn of Oina's fate
Nyra drew her sword and walked over to Oina, "I knew you were one of Dar-Arceus's minions." Nyra said as she raised her sword and quickly brought it down.
But it was blocked, by one of my katana, "Byron? What are you-" Nyra started, "Nyra look at her, look into her eyes, she's shattered, she was just rejected by her god, cast aside like a broken blade." I said, Oina's eyes were empty as I looked at them up close, Nyra saw it as well and backed off.
"I see what your talking about but why are you letting her live?" Nyra asked, "Just because she betrayed us doesn't mean we shouldn't show her mercy, besides when she regains her senses we could always interrogate her for whatever information on Dar-Arceus she's got." Kraig said, "That's actually a pretty good idea, seeing as she just got throw aside she may actually be willing to tell." Clyde said, "And If she doesn't talk then what?" Aria asked, "We'll cross that bridge when we get there." I replied.
Lugia came up the stairs shortly after that conversation carrying Marin and saw Oina on her knees, "What are you gonna do with her?" Lugia asked, "For now we just take her with us like before, just tied up now." I said pulling out an Escape Rope and tying up Oina. At the same time Nyra tried to pull out Kraig's axe from the door, "Kraig a little help here." Nyra called out, "Sure hold on a sec." Kraig replied and with no effort pulled the axe free, then he pulled out his old steel armor and walked over to Lugia with the steel weapon and armor, "If it's not to much to asked Lugia can you return these to Arceus for me?" Kraig asked, Lugia nodded and took the armor from Kraig, hardly noticing the weight of it all.
We stepped outside of the temple with Kraig carrying Marin and Oina over his shoulders, and at that moment Martin saw us and sped over to us. "Marin!" He shouted, "She's fine, just unconscious." I said, Martin sighed in relief taking his sister into his arms.
At that moment a cloud of darkness formed in front of us and dispersed just as quickly, leaving behind a giant Dusknoir carrying a Scythe just as large, "Oh shit." I said checking my data watch for it's name, which was The Reaper.
The Reaper held out it's hand and Oina's Scythe flew into it's hand and grew to a size equal to it's other Scythe, "Martin, Take your sister and Oina back to the ship, and make sure you put Oina in the brig." I said drawing my katana, "Why do you want Oina in the brig?" Martin asked taking the two, "Questions later, go now." I replied pushing him away.
*Boss- The Reaper, Music- Neir Deep Crimson foe*
The Reaper took the initiative and sent out what I can only describe as Ominous Wind and knocked the six of us aside and then quickly slashed down with one if it's scythes, fortunately Kraig reacted quickly and blocked the strike. With an opening available Clyde fired off several shot from his crossbows however they all seemed to have no visual effect on The Reaper, who reatilated by smacked him aside with the pole of Oina's scythe.
"Clyde!" Aria shouted, "I'm fine." Clyde said as Aria turned back to The Reaper, "I'll make you pay for that you bastard." She growled and began rushing toward The Reaper, who raised his scythe to attack. "Aria!" I shouted and out of the corner of my eye I saw massive amounts of moss and algae in the area and evolved into a Leafeon and used my whip to hold back The Reapers arm so Aria could land a combo on his head, yet it also did nothing. "What the fuck!?" Aria said just before The Reaper headbutted her away.
"Shadow Ball." Reia chanted and launched a Shadow Ball at The Reaper for no effect. "Wha- Dark Pulse!" Reia shouted, but the attack also had no effect. "This is Tauros shit! Fire Blast!" Reia shouted, three guesses on how well that worked out, yeah it didn't. Apparently Reia had managed to tick off The Reaper enough for it to haphazardly point a scythe in her direction and launch a Shadow Ball of it's own, luckily for Reia Ghost type moves have no effect on Normal types.
"This is really pissing me off, hold it still Byron." Kraig said as Nyra got launched away after a failed slashing frenzy, "Alright." I said running behind The Reaper and grabbing its neck with my whip. While The Reaper struggled to free itself from my whip grasp Kraig jammed his axe into the ground and full on rammed The Reaper in the gut. The Reaper doubled over and tossed me over it as it wrapped it's arms around the stomach mouth, then it opened said mouth and puked out a Male Zygarde. Kraig and I looked at each other and got an idea, I rolled under the recovering Dusknoir before whipping its neck again and allowing Kraig to ram it again, causing a Female Xerneas to be puked free. "I'll get him this time!" Reia said as The Reaper tried to recover, "Shock Wave!" She called out and with the weak shock in it's system The Reaper lost most of it's mobility allowing Kraig to ram it one last time, causing a Female Yveltal to be freed.
I'd assume that was the last legend seeing as darkness began to seep through it's body causing and it's weapons to shrink down to normal size. The Reaper looked over at us in fear as I downed a Leppa potion."NATURE'S FURY!" I shouted, then four giant, thick, thorny vines to burst out of the ground and proceed to beat down on The Reaper in a near comic manner, I could tell this wasn't Frenzy Vine because the did not feel like an extension of my body.
The vines soon ceased their relentless pummeling as dissolved as The Reapers body began bursting wisps free. "I guess the Reaper is now the reaped." I said
*Music end- The Reaper- Dead*
"Are the three of you alright?" I asked helping up the two females of the Legends as Kraig lifted up Zygarde, "Absolutely disgusted, but fine." Zygarde said, "I'm fine, but I'm going to be spending a week in the Halls Sauna straight." Xerneas said, I Looked over to see Yveltal had jumped into the sea to wash off as much bile as she could before jumping out and walking over to me, "It'll take me days to clean my feathers, but still I thank you for saving me." Yveltal said before pulling out a red crystal that looked like an avian skull, "This is Crystal Death, something i made a few years before this all started, now I want you to hold it as our bond for Mana Links." Yveltal said handing me the Crystal Death, however when I grabbed the skull she violently pulled me forward and into a kiss. She pulled away soon after and smiled while my face was in complete shock, "Don't worry Byron, even though you just received a kiss from Death you won't be dying anytime soon." Yveltal said with a wink before the trio of legends vanished. "You did jynx yourself." Kraig said, I reacted by punching his arm. After I shook off my shock and bent down to pick up Oina's and Reapers scythes and carried them onto the ship.
Soon after we boarded the ship we saw Martin and a now awake Marin hugging one another. "Glad to see your fine Marin." I said, The Milotic woman looked over at me the proceeded to hug me, "Thank you for saving me from that… curse." Marin said, "It was no problem." I replied, "Let me reward you for saving me." Marin said backing away and began digging through her pockets then she pulled out ten plastic cards, "These are lifetime passes to my dance shows, I know your team really only consists of six people, but you could always gain new allies or you could give the to family." Marin said, "And Byron you and any friend of yours is welcome on my ship at anytime." Martin said.
"So where are we heading next?" I asked, "The next closest port is in a small docking town in Draconis, country of dragons." Martin said, "Then that's where we're headed." I said, "I know someone we can talk to in the country's capital Wyvernia." Clyde said.
While we were sailing to the port town I went down to the brig with two bowls of warm soup in my hands, "You can take the rest of your shift off pal." I said to the Corphish sailor, who shrugged and stumbled off.
Oina's eye looked over at me before returning to the ground, "Here Oina, you're probably hungry." I said sliding the bowl of soup through the slot for food under the cell door, Oina's eyes glanced to the soup before her arm reached out and grabbed the bowl, "Don't worry I haven't poisoned it, I would save you just to kill you." I said
"Based on what I saw when we first met Dar-Arceus cares not for his troops does he." I asked, Oina remained silent, simply turning her head away from me for a brief moment before she returned to her soup. "By now Dar-Arceus thinks you're dead right?" I asked, Oina remained silent, only tipping her head slightly. "Listen Oina, the fact that I chose to spare you was because I saw how badly his rejection hurt you, it was as if you saw who he truly was for the first time wasn't it." I asked, Oina nodded slightly as she finished her soup and sliding it back to me, "How did you like the soup?" I asked changing the topic, I saw Oina give the slightest of smiles, "That's good, I made it myself and I had noticed how much you liked Sitrus berries, so I decided to make some soup for you." I said as I heard the door to the brig open, "I guess it's the next guy's shift. Don't worry Oina, I don't plan on letting you get killed, and neither does Kraig, the two of us can tell how much you've been hurt." I said getting up to leave, and I heard the faintest voice saying "Thank you."
We soon reached the port town in Draconis and saw it was heavily populated by Morphs of Dratini, Magikarp, Horsea, Skrelp, and their evolutions. I looked around as Oina was put into Clyde's Caravan, Which I'm surprised the pirates decided to steal as well instead of stripping it for loot.
"So Clyde who is this person you know?" I asked getting into the caravan and sitting next to Oina, "Oh, She's one of the cities higher ranking Nobles, I ran into her as a child when she, also a child mind you, was crying about how she paid a lot for a toy, only for it to break very easily and her father couldn't convince the merchant for a fair refund for overcharging him for something so fragile." Clyde said, "Why were you in Wyvernia?" Aria asked, "I was with my mother learning the merchants trade, her way. Anyway when I pointed out to my mother what I saw she decided to let me see if I could convince or threaten the unfair mechant into refunding them. and just by looking at his stock price I found that the bastard prices were far beyond the Merchants Fair Trade Code, heck they were pushing the limits of extortion. anyway I manage to convince the guy to not only refund the family, but also increase his stocks quality and lower his prices lest he have to contend with the city guard." Clyde said with a chuckle, "Anyway I ended up comforting the young girl and I even noticed we had a much more durable toy like the one she had gotten and took her over to my mother's tall, who actually gave the girl a discount. Since then I've received a warm welcome to Wyvernia every time I visit, even have my own discount ass for the city's permanent stores." Clyde finished.
"Nice story and all Clyde, but we still would lie a name." Nyra said, "Oh right sorry, she's a Noivern by the Name of Tia Loire." Clyde said
And that's the end of that Chapter, I'll be perfectly honest when I was making the outline for this story I was actually planning on having Oina killed off by Dar-Arceus in the end and having her last breath beg Byron to protect her little sister, who would then replace Oina as an ally when they encounter her. However as I was writing the rough draft of the story I ended up having a change of heart for Oina and decided for her to have a chance to redeem herself after having her beliefs shattered, this did reduce Oina's sisters role down to sub-character however.
Lloyd: Anyway we hope you've enjoyed this chapter and we also hope you send in some OC's We don't care if their Heroes or Villains.
Oh, and that reminds me, while I was online yesterday gaming with a couple of friends, one of them asked if an OC that was half 'Mon, half Morph like the Corrupt Beauty could work, and I must admit it's a rather unique idea. Now I'm not going to accept an OC like that just yet because i'm going to need to work out some guidelines for those types of OC's
Reigner: We shall see you next chapter for guidelines on half and half OC's.
