Chapter 20: The Revealing: Part 1
Time: 3:00 PM
Place: The Meeting Room, Hall of Origin
POV: Normal
Me: Idon''!
Everybody: I-
Mysterious Voice: SMA_H does not own Pokemon, Gamefreak, or Nintendo. And neither do I, but I do own my own brand of mysterious arrivals.
"Now wait just one second!" A deep voice rumbled through the Meeting Room.
"What?" Three looked in the direction of the Voice.
"What?" Xavier looked too.
"What?" So did his twin.
"What?" Amanda turned to look at the source of the rumble.
'What?' Victini looked.
'WHAT!' The Legendaries looked.
"Oh, come on!" Three shouted at the sky. Bad idea. He fainted, falling over. Amanda caught him.
And then, distracted from their battle, the flying Pokemon fell from the air, crashing onto the ground. 'Ouch!'
"Who are you," the two Xaviers asked in unison. "And how did you get here? This is the Hall of Origin!"
"I know. And as for your first question, the answer's Aviera." The Voice's tone changed from deep to more medium-high pitched. "Aviera Xedi. But my friends called me Avi. I have been sent by Kronios to stop a very bad thing from happening."
Kronios/Ash walked towards the voice who called herself Aviera. 'What? Lies. I did not send you. I've never heard of you!'
"Ah, but you will. Well, hopefully you won't. Ah, whatever."
'Show yourself! I don't like people who stand around in shadow dramatically.' Arceus/Tobias spoke calmly, but with a slightly angry tone.
"I'll try." And then, the twin Xavier shadows, pointing towards the apparent source of the voice, moved. Without either Xavier moving.
As the two possible Fated Ones looked on, the double shadows melted together into a simple circle. The circle actually pulled itself off of the ground and into the air. It poofed out, becoming spherical. Then it changed shape once more.
A cylinder stretched out of the bottom.
Two arms and two legs appeared out of the cylinder.
The vaguely humanoid shape molded itself into a more recognizably human form, but completely black all over. Then the color appeared.
It was a girl.
She stood about five and a half feet tall. Somewhat pale skin. Turquoise eyes. And beautiful silvery dark grey hair that draped down freely to her waist. She was wearing a light blue
t-shirt with medium-long sleeves and a matching short skirt.
"Hello." She smiled, looking at both Xaviers in turn. "So that's what you look like. The famous Xavier. I've heard a lot about you. In the ancient legends."
"Okay, first of all, whoa. How the heck did you get into my shadow?" Both Xaviers said. "And why are we talking at the same time?"
"I cannot really describe how I got there. I was sent into them, like I said. Not my doing. And I will tell you later about why you're talking at the same time. I'm from the future. A terrible future caused by what was about to happen right here. I came back here in order to stop that future from happening. You see… Well, I'll just show you." She touched one finger to each of the Xavier's foreheads. Amanda, Three and the Legendaries watched as the pupils in the eyes of the three teenagers disappeared as they began to see the vision.
Aviera, Xavier, Renavier, and SMA_H seemed to land back in the Meeting Room. At first the Xaviers thought that nothing had happened, but then they saw themselves.
"Nice. Can we talk to ourselves?" Renavier walked in front of himself, waving his hands around. "Oh. Guess not."
Aviera walked over to him and pulled him back. "No. We are just watching now. We can't change things here, it's just a vision. We can only change the real world. Here we're just along for the ride." She watched the progress of the vision intently.
"…have ANY QUESTIONS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! I mean, can't you do this yourself? Just… just send me back home. Deal with your own problems, I'm done."
"Whoa. I totally freaked out there." Xavier was slightly embarrassed.
Virtual Xavier started walking away. However, he was stopped by the absence of a door. It was solid rock (?) all around. "Seriously? No doors? Now what are you gonna do, wipe my memory or something? Plant a disease in my head that'll drive me insane? Oh, wait, I know. How about you eradicate my aura and give my body to some other guy. That would be juuust perfect. Ugh." The Virtual possible Fated One sat down, angry at all that the Legendaries had done to meddle with his life.
"Xavier…" Virtual Amanda was shocked at the burst of bottled-up anger, but she also felt sorry for the teenaged boy. She turned towards the assembled Legendaries. "Look at what you did! You've obviously screwed with his life way too much! And not that I care, but you just possibly lost the Fated One's support. You messed up. Again!"
"You know, I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but… What is wrong with you?" Virtual Three chimed in.
"I gotta side with myself." The second Virtual Xavier sat down next to his twin.
Virtual SMA_H jumped off of Virtual Xavier's shoulder and pointed a finger at Arceus. 'Man, oh, man. You have totally screwed up my trainer. My best friend. I don't care if you're a god or not, you're the one who made this problem in the first place, so you're going down! And your past self too!' The small Pokemon jumped towards the ruler of the universe with fury in his eyes and fireballs clenched in his fists. Virtual Arceus got ready to defend himself, charging a Judgement attack. The situation was looking really bad.
"Wow, the situation looks bad from this angle." Xavier commented.
"Shh! This is the important part." Aviera scolded.
The rest of the Virtual Legendaries jumped to Virtual Arceus's defense, ready to strike with all of their power. 'Victini…' one of them started.
'Do not attack.'
'We will fight back.'
'Arceus must be protected.'
'Surrender or be defeated.'
'Oh, yeah? I'm not afraid of you! Hwaaaah!' The now-literally-on-fire Virtual Victini zoomed towards the assembled Virtual Legendaries.
'Yaaaah!' The Virtual Legendaries flew towards Virtual Victini.
"Oh. Snap." Virtual Amanda, Three and Renavier stared at the scene in disbelief and horror.
"I second that."
'No!' Virtual Kronias teleported in front of SMA_H. 'Stop! This must not happen!'
'Oh, yeah?' Virtual SMA_H stared Virtual Kronias down. His eyes were blood red. His body transformed into Dark Victini form. He screeched with the force of a thousand angry little girls. 'HWAAAAAAHRG! Guess who's ba-ack!'
"This is what would have happened? I can see why you had to stop this." Xavier said, almost in shock.
Virtual DV created a Dark Doom. He threw…
"No!" Both Xavier pairs yelled.
'No!' Virtual Kronios flew towards his mate. But it was too late…
Virtual Kronias shuddered, then dissolved.
'It can't be! NOOOOOO!' Virtual Kronios, wiping tears from his eyes, dodged another Dark Doom, then flew towards the four horrified Virtual trainers, guarding them.
Dark Victini took out Zekrom next, rapid-firing many spheres of death into her. She screamed, flickered momentarily to her human form, then disappeared.
'Cynthia!' Kronios yelled, but stayed where he was.
'Yaah!' Kranios tried to attack Dark Victini from behind, but the Cloned Shadow punched him to the floor without even looking. 'Uuugh…'
"Oh, geez! There goes Kranios!" Virtual Xavier screamed. "And there goes Reshiram!" Reshiram dissolved, blocking an attack aimed for Kranios. "And Rayquaza!" Rayquaza twisted in agony, then burst into flames. "Oh, no, this is bad! Go, everybody! ATTACK!"
"You too!" Everybody else's Pokemon came out.
All of Xavier's Pokemon came out along with Virtual Renavier, Virtual Amanda, and Virtual Three's, attacking fiercely, but they were all swatted down like flies. They, too, dissolved, screaming their respective trainer's name. Well, except for Xavier's Servine, who floated up to Dark Victini, crying like crazy.
"Wow. What a terrible future." Renavier had a horrified look on his face.
"No kidding," Aviera responded.
" But why don't they teleport away?" Xavier asked.
"Because of Dark Victini's powers. It's impossible."
Mewtwo and Mew were the next to go. They held hands silently as their very atoms were ripped apart, sacrificing themselves for Arceus.
'No! Gary! Misty! Okay, mister, you are GOING DOWN!' Dialga flew towards a suddenly slow-motion Dark Victini, preparing a Roar of TIme attack. But the Dark Pokemon somehow broke free, and hit Dialga with two Searing Shots, then a huge Dark Doom. She burned away into dust.
'NO! DAWN! Now you REALLY did it, man! PREPARE TO DIE!' Virtual Palkia streaked towards Virtual Dark Victini, his eyes full of tears and fury. But his Spacial Rend attack was deflected and returned by one huge roundhouse kick. While Palkia was recovering, he was destroyed by Dark Doom. In his last act, he screeched as loud as he could. Dark Victini held his giant ears, trying to regain his hearing. Arceus, sensing an opportunity, launched his Judgement attack. It hit Dark Victini, causing a huge explosion. A dark cloud of smoke covered Arceus and Dark Victini.
The (crying) Virtual and regular trainers, along with a now-recovered Virtual Kranios and a still-protective Virtual Kronios, watched in suspense. Something fell out of the bottom of the cloud. Everybody tried to see what it was.
It was Arceus. A very dead Arceus. His eyes were totally blank, unseeing. The Lord of the Universe was dead. Dead dead dead. Such a terrible word.
'Ugh! ARCEUS!' Kranios ran up to the corpse, trying to revive the dead Pokemon. No use.
"Oh, no." Xavier and Renavier said in unison. "That's not good. Even though this might not happen, this is terrible."
"Yes. I told you so."
Then, out of the cloud, came Dark Victini himself. Virtual DV summoned a ball of fire, so hot it glowed blue. Two jets of flame shot out, forming a fiery V.
"V-Generate…" Xavier recognized the move. "Oh, no…"
'Do not attack! You have no idea what you just did!' Virtual Kronios still stood in front of the Virtual trainers. 'The multiverse will END because of you!'
'That's my plan! I'm gonna destroy this multiverse, then CREATE MY OWN! I will save all of the Pokemon, and rule them like a god. And I'll take Servine here with me. I couldn't bear to kill her, so I'll wipe her memory and start from scratch. I'll make her my queen. But first, you have to die!'
'I wouldn't. Since all of the other Legendaries are dead, I have inherited their powers. I control every living soul in this universe. I can kill you before you can you can even register it.'
'Oh, yeah? Then watch this!'
And he absorbed Servine.
'Now, I'll give you two choices. If you surrender, I'll spare you. All of you. And you will be my slaves. But if you kill me, your friend Servine and your beloved Victini will die with me. They are both bonded to me. Here, I'll let you have their opinion.' His voice changed to that of Servine. 'Xavier! Help me!' It changed again to that of SMA_H. 'Xavier! Do it! Let me d-' The message was cut off.
"What do we do?" Virtual Amanda was looking very worried.
"I don't know." Virtual Renavier had the same expression. "Xavier, you're the One, man. What do we do?"
"I don't care! This guy's still going down!" Virtual Three spoke out of nowhere. "BYE-BYE!" He ran as fast as he could towards the Cloned Shadow.
"Three! No!" Virtual Amanda tried to chase after him, but was held back by the two Virtual Xaviers. They knew that they couldn't risk another life.
'Ha! You really think that you can defeat me with nothing but your weak human body? NO!' Dark Victini fired off many attacks, Searing Shot, Dark Doom, Fusion Bolt. But Three dodged all of them. He jumped inhumanly high, about to kick the evil Pokemon in the face.
Virtual Amanda looked away. "I can't watch."
Three kicked- and actually hit his mark. Dark Victini winced, surprised that the human was still alive. He responded by grabbing Three's neck with his free hand. And Three vanished.
"Three!" Both the Virtual and regular Xaviers yelled.
'Grandson! NO!' Virtual Kronios was crying again.
'He's DEAD! Now, do you want to be, too?' Virtual Dark Victini asked.
Virtual Xavier turned to Virtual Kronios. He didn't say anything, but it was clear that they were talking with aura. So was Virtual Kranios.
"What are they saying?" Xavier asked to nobody in particular.
"They're making a plan. It's the only reason why I am here." Aviera answered.
"Hey… is it me, or does it seem that Dark Victini is ignoring Kranios, who's right below him?" Renavier spoke.
"Correct. That was his one mistake. You'll see."
The three of them stopped aura-planning. 'Okay! We will accept slavery! Spare us, Dark Lord!' Kronios declared.
'Hmm. Okay.' Dark Victini stopped pointing the V-Generate at the Virtual trainers and Kronios.
The Virtual people relaxed.
'Actually, no. HWAAAAH!'
In that moment, everything turned into a slow-mo Kung Fu movie. Virtual Dark Victini's arm actually teleported, and once it was aimed again, he fired. The enormous fiery V flew into Virtual Kronios. He had no time to kill Virtual Dark Victini's soul. He only had time to move a little to the left.
The blue fireball burned right through his right side. It was incinerated. Gone. Virtual Kronios screamed in extreme agony, somehow still alive. And the fire kept on going. It hit the three virtual trainers. Virtual Xavier, in his last action, did one thing: he spoke. He said just six words to Virtual Amanda.
"I love you. And I'm sorry."
And he died. All three of them did. Strangely, a huge green lightning bolt flew out of the fire, quickly followed by a red one.
And then the three watchers saw Dark Victini's mistake. They watched as an ultrafast Kranios shot a beam of water upwards into Dark Victini, stopping his next attack and stunning him.
'NOW!'
All of the one-and-a-half remaining Legendaries teleported away. Virtual Dark Victini woke up about five seconds later, cursing everything. He, too, teleported away, as the Hall of Origin (and the whole universe) was now crumbling to nothing. He was going to make his own universe.
Xavier, Renavier, and Aviera were briefly teleported to a couple different places in their vision. They could see humans running away from the ever-increasing void of entropy engulfing and destroying their world. Dark Victini sitting in a chair in a pentagonal office with an inky black Serperior at his side. Kranios and an injured Kronios, floating through the vacuum of space. Kronios was still only half there. He was unconscious, but Kranios seemed to be keeping his golden blood from flowing out with psychic powers. Aviera couldn't watch it any longer, and the vision seemed to oblige. They saw Kronios, now partially robotic, creating planets, stars, galaxies. Kranios helped. Back in DV land, they saw Dark Serperior and Dark Victini holding a baby Pokemon. It was wrapped in a black cloth, and the three humans could not tell what kind of Pokemon it was. They saw many beings, similar in form to Kranios, standing next to computers, typing away. A black caped Pokemon flying around a planet, searching for something. And at the very end, a new world. A world of humans. The vision seemed to zoom in, showing a baby girl wrapped in a blanket.
The watchers couldn't see anybody but the baby, but they heard a deep male voice. "So, have you decided on a name?"
A female voice responded. "Well… I don't know why, but I feel… connected, somehow to the name Xavier."
"But she's a girl! We can't name her Xavier. But I feel the same way. Maybe… Xaviera? I don't know."
"I know." The voice paused. "Just Aviera."
"Aviera. What a beautiful name for our baby girl. It's perfect."
Then, they went out of their trance, landing back in the real Hall of Origin.
