Fight for Giratina's sake!

"Now... Die!" Draconis made an attempt to stab Shadow's head with his sword, but Shadow barely was able to leap to the side in time. However, the sword tore off the two laces that kept the Azure Flute and the Griseous Orb hanging around his neck, and his two most valuable relics were flung across the room by the power of the impact.

"No!" Shadow dashed away to get the items back, but he was blocked by two luxray that jumped towards him. All of a sudden, Whitetail was before him, hitting the two electric-types down with Claws of Light and Darkness.

"Hey Shadow, help Aura out with the control panel! She seems to be in trouble!" Whitetail yelled to Shadow. Shadow looked over to the control panel. Aura was there, trying to figure out what the different buttons did, while Nyara and Feather made desperate attempts to defend the three of them towards three vicious-looking manectric. "Mighty and I can handle them! They need help! Please!"

"All right!" Shadow gave up on trying to get his items back. After all, it was more important to get Giratina out of the cage. The ghostly dragon seemed to do quite fine, except for the fact that he was being shot with Thunderbolts, but as a dragon-type, his thick skin protected him from most of the damage. He ran towards the control panel, dodging the attacks that flew towards him on the way.

"Woah! Hiya, Shadow!" Feather yelled as Shadow dashed up to them, jumping up onto the control panel.

"Aura..." Shadow gazed at the riolu, who raised her head from watching the different buttons.

"Yes?"

"Why did you... you know... that thing a moment ago..." At Shadow's words, Aura blushed.

"Well, I... I've been planning that for quite some time..."

"Hey, this isn't an appropriate timing!" Nyara cried out as she was knocked off her feet by a manectric, which Feather luckily managed to chase away with Wing Attack.

"Yeah! Right! Well, these buttons... How do they work?" Shadow asked.

"I don't have a clue." Aura replied. "I haven't dared pressing them, as they might make things worse!"

"Crap!" Whitetail suddenly found herself at the edge of a very sharp sword. Mighty was fighting an electabuzz on the other edge of the room, and the others were busy at the control panel.

"Hmm... An eevee? In my homeland, you're a very rare pokémon. I could have use for you..." Draconis gazed at Whitetail in fascination. "And what happened to your tail?" Whitetail's eyes widened, and suddenly she looked fierce.

"MY TAIL IS PERFECTLY FINE, YOU GIT!" She hurled herself onto Draconis' head and took a hold of his ponytail, hanging on to it desperately with her teeth.

"Why, you...!" Draconis tried to drag the eevee off his head, but in vain. "Ampharos! Shoot it off with with Shock Wave!" The said pokémon fired a beam of lightning towards Whitetail, who would never have had the chance to avoid the attack, but then...

"Human! Leave our land at once!" Something yellow leaped in between Whitetail and the Shock Wave, and took the hit for her.

"We need to do something!" Shadow stated.

"All right. I'm pressing this!" Aura pressed a big green button right in front of her. They turned to face the cage to see what would happen. But the cage didn't open. Instead, something that looked like iron chains with sharp spears on them flew out of the floor, attaching themselves to Giratina.

"What...?" was his first reaction, before the spears burrowed themselves into his skin and started sending off waves of electricity. Giratina, no longer protected by his dragon skin, roared and twitched with pain.

"Oh no..." Aura whispered. "We made it worse!"

"Missile?" Whitetail coudn't believe her eyes when she saw the jolteon charge into a fight with the ampharos. She quickly leapt down from Draconis head while she had the chance.

"You didn't honestly think that we would let a human run around in EeveeClan's territory, did you, Whitetail?" Rusty ran up beside her, followed by Mermaid and, surprisingly, Blacktail.

"Missile's perfect for this job, as he's got the Volt Absorb ability!" Mermaid stated. "So, anyone in for taking some electric-types down?"

"I'm in! Let's fight for Giratina's sake once again!" Rusty yelled, and at once, the flareon and the vaporeon dashed off to help Missile. Whitetail and Blacktail gazed at each other awkwardly.

"Uh..." Whitetail didn't seem to find any words to say to her enemy.

"Well..." The commander scratched his paws on the ground.

"We should help." Whitetail stated.

"Agreed." Blacktail nodded. "But don't imagine us to be allies, princess."

"Why would I?" Whitetail smirked. And with that, the two eevees dashed off into battle. Draconis stared after them, gritting his teeth. Then he noticed what was happening to Giratina, and smiled. Right then, Whitetail too noticed what was happening to her father, and her eyes widened with horror.

"We need to get those... things away!" Aura screamed, sounding totally panicked as she saw Giratina twitch and roar in pain.

"Calm down!" Shadow yelled, desperately trying to calm his teammate.

"But Shadow, he's DYING!" Aura shouted back.

"No, he's not." Shadow leapt down from the control panel. "Because I'm not letting him. We can't risk anything more by those buttons. We need to destroy the cage by force. Come on!" He speeded off towards the cage, Aura, Feather and Nyara soon following him.

"Giratina, we're getting you out of there, okay?" Shadow yelled. Giratina forced his pain-filled eyes open, and nodded weakly. "Now! Volt Tac..."

"Wait, Shadow!" Mighty ran up to them, followed by Rusty, Mermaid, Missile, Whitetail and Blacktail. "I know a better way. First, everyone who knows a fire attack, use it!" He used Fire Fang at the bars of the cage, and Rusty fired off a powerful Flamethrower.

"Aha! I get it!" Missile yelled. "Now, we need to cool the warm metal! Water, ice, anything cold!" Mermaid shot a Hydro Pump attack, while Mighty continued with Ice Fang.

"Now!" Mighty yelled. "Everyone, use some kind of physical attack! Claws, fangs, anything!"

"Gotcha! Iron Tail!" Shadow yelled, turning his tail steel-hard.

"Force Palm!" Aura shouted, hitting her palm towards the bars.

"Claws of Light and Darkness!" Whitetail cried, charging up her special move.

"Peck!" Feather flew head first into the cage, slamming his beak into the bars. "Ouch!"

"F-Fury Swipes!" Nyara started clawing at the cage.

"All right. Why not. Bite!" Blacktail jumped towards the cage, burrowing his teeth into the now weak metal.

"Fire Fang!" Rusty yelled, filling his mouth with fire.

"Thunder Fang!" Missile's fangs started zapping.

"Ice Fang!" Mermaid completed the triple attack.

"Now! Elemental attacks! Aim them at my Zetsu Tenrou Battouga!" Mighty yelled.

"But Mighty! That's dangerous!" Shadow yelled back.

"Just do what I say!" Mighty stepped back, before charging up his spinning attack. After being powered up with two Thunder, one Fire Blast, one Hydro Pump, one Gust, one Aura Sphere and two Shadow Ball, the spinning attack looked like a twisting vortex of power. Slamming into the weakened bars, an enormous explosion was caused.

"Do any of you have a clue where Giratina might have gone off to?" Arceus paced from side to side before her legendary comrades, who she had summoned for a crisis meeting. "Whitetail and Team Saviours are also gone. Anyone? Zapdos? You look like you want to tell me something."

"Well... Nothing really..." The electric bird sighed, remembering his promise to Whitetail. Arceus watched him expectantly.

"Should I research your mind?" she asked, glaring at him. "Be warned. I'm not as good at it as Giratina. It might cause permanent consequenses, like memory loss, or mental illness..."

"Wait!" Zapdos quickly shouted. "I think I know something..."
