(I wrote the final chapter. It's kinda sad, because this was my first fic... but I felt I should end it here. It seemed right. I'm sorry for the long wait! I may just make a sequel about what happens when Heaven is rebuilt, but you never know... I don't own. But this fic will always have a place in my heart, mind. I love it, even with all its awkward child-written-ness. Yeah.)

Luna stared up at the sky. It was still pinky-black, and swirly. "Darkrai! What do we do?" He shrugged. "Wait, I suppose. That's all we can do." Though it pissed her off, she waited.

And waited.

And waited some more.

Finally...

"SHIT! HOW MUCH FUCKING LONGER TO I HAVE TO WAIT!! I HATE THIS STUPID TREE BEAST! FUCKIN' FATTY!" She roared, eye twitching. Giratina's opaque golden mask twitched in amusement.

"Be patient. When the blood moon comes, you will wish for the waiting again." She didn't like the sound of that, but nodded like she cared.

Vita poofed into existence before her. "The boy's gone. He'll be waiting for you if you make it back alive." Luna glared at the Mew.

"Right. Fall down a well." She grumbled, kicking at a clump of dirt.

Instantly, the dirt opened to reveal a giant chasm, with Regigigas lying it wait at the bottom. He glared evilly up at everyone, annoyed at having his hiding place revealed.

The entirety of the Legendaries glared at her. She sighed.

"Oops."

Regigigas reached up, and smirked. "It is oops, indeed." He disappeared. Luna shrugged. "I thought he was going to kill us... funny..."

Giratina's head shot up. "The blood moon! It rises!" Everyone stared at the darkly red moon, high and full over the heads of all on the battlefield. It seemed to ooze malevolence. Rayquaza roared in hatred.

Mesprit shook her head, and said nothing. For the first and last time in her life.

"I feel something... something wicked..." Merope growled, scythe stiffening in worry. Cybela nodded in agreement. Azrael looked up at his trainer, who had a look of horror on her face. She was staring at Regigigas.

He had Salem clenched in his fist.

"YOU BRING HUMANS INTO THIS." It was Arceus. The other Legendaries parted way for one-half of their god.

The other half, a small pink kitten known as Mew, floated in the air beside him, staring at Regigigas. Regigigas smirked. "Why is it of your concern, dear cousin?" Arceus thundered,

"YOU BRING THIS INNOCENT INTO OUR WAR. WHY, I DO NOT FATHOM. EXPLAIN." Luna shivered at Arceus' tone, one of which disturbed her to no end. It lacked emotion, and something else.

Worry. He didn't honestly care about Salem.

But she did.

"Dude, like, fuck you, okay? Fall down a fuckin' well someplace. What is wrong with you?" She piped up, flapping her freakish wings up near Regigigas. Salem opened an eye.

"Oh, hello, Luna. Fancy meeting you here." She nodded. "True, that. May I inquire of your well-being?" He grinned at her.

"I'm all right. You?" She nodded, and glared at Regigigas. "Fuckin' peachy, doll. But he won't be." Regigigas roared.

"YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO DESTROY ME WITH CHEESY ACTION LINES?! YOU DISRESPECT ME!!!" He screamed, almost attacking Luna. Mew smiled for an instant. Luna pouted.

"I thought it was original." Salem nodded. "Yes, but no one cares what you think." She kicked him in the head, and Regigigas grunted with amusement, little beepy dot things he had as a shitty excuse for EYES... well, beeping.

Darkrai cracked up. "Fuckin' brilliant! Can we get back to killing now?" He asked. Regigigas smirked, his little beepy dot things beeping evilly. Beepy evil.

"Indeed we shall, New Moon Child. Indeed we shall." He squeezed his hand, and Luna heard a few bones in Salem's body readjust themselves painfully. He screamed in agony.

"Stop it! You're hurting him!" She shrieked. Regigigas laughed. "Aww, you care about him. How sweet. But it'll hurt much more in a minute, trust me."

"EAT SHIT AND DIE!" Luna wailed, firing off a Dark Pulse. It bounced off Regigigas like it was made of rubber. She faltered. He looked up at her, and shook his head. He seemed sad, like he was sharing a terrible secret with her.

"Did you honestly think you'd win unscathed? Look, kid, the good guys may win, but there's always gonna be consequences. Welcome to the real world." And with that, he crushed Salem's body in fifteen different places.

Blood spurted out of his mouth, and his eyes became bloodred from shattered retinas. Luna screamed. He blinked up at her for an instant, smiled, and...

Died. It was quicker than the books always said it would be. But no less painful.

Arceus bowed his head. The Legends shuffled their feet, unsure of what to make of this.

Luna stared at Regigigas. "You... fuck." She said softly. Regigigas dropped him to the ground carelessly. She flapped over to his corpse quietly, and stared down at him. His eyes stared sightlessly back at her.

That alone made her want to break down crying, but she kept her composure.

She knelt down, brushed some blood from his face, and kissed his lips gently, pulling away quickly. She stared up at Regigigas, eyes blazing.

"I'll kill you." She said calmly.

This threat held more fear for Regigigas than any other of her blundering yells had. Because this time, she meant it utterly. She'd kill him, even if it killed her.

She hugged Salem's corpse one last time.

A slavering servant of one of the lower Legends, a bedraggled Skarmory, hopped over to feast on his corpse. The steel bird was blasted back by Azrael's Flamethrower. Her eyes welled with tears.

Her pokemon all solemnly stood over his body. "We'll protect him, don't worry." Nyeros promised. Luna nodded.

Arceus and Mew stared down Regigigas. He snorted. "You know it to be true." Luna flew up, enraged.

"I KNOW!" She roared, flying off the handle. She struck Dark Pulse, Hydro Pump, Flamethrower, Ice Beam, whatever she could muster, she threw at him with all her might.

"BUT," She screamed, summoning more fire, "WHY DID IT," She shot off a Blizzard, one that turned her hands blue from cold, "HAVE TO BE," She fired off a Fire Blast, and now flames leaped over her skin, "HIM?!"

Regigigas stared at her, as all these attacks bounced off him like rubber, once again. Arceus swiveled an eye in Luna's direction.

"Do you really wish to avenge him?" She nodded slowly. Arecus tapped his foot on the ground. Instantly, the three dissappeared.

Darkrai looked around. He raised and eyebrow, and roared, "Les' kill 'em all! For the Legend's brat!" Everyone stared in silence. Then Jirachi smiled.

"Yes. For the Legend's brat."

But somewhere else, the three were staring at white nothingness.

"ACCEPT THE SACRED FIRE. OUR HIGHEST GIFT." Arceus thundered. Luna looked around. They were gone. She raised an eyebrow.

"The Sacred Fire. Like Ho-oh." Mew spoke now.

"Correct, only this isn't a mere Pokemon attack. If you take on this power, you will kill Regigigas for good, something we were never able to do. But if you do, you will be too tainted by Legend blood to ever survive in the human world." Luna thought of her mother, Lorelei.

She thought of all the people she had yet to meet, people who might've been her friend, given the chance.

But then she thought of Salem.

"Will I go where he's gone?" She asked. Arceus paused, and said, "IF IT IS WHAT YOU WISH. YOU WILL GO WHEREVER YOU LIKE WITH THIS POWER." Luna stopped.

She knew that someday, Lorelei would die. And so would Ryura. And she could see them then, right?

And with all this power, perhaps she could bring them here...

She nodded. "I accept the Sacred Fire." Arceus spoke, and intoned, "VERY WELL. LET THE CLEANSE BEGIN!"

Nothing happened for an instant.

Then the fire engulfed her.

She screamed, but it merely filled her mouth with the flames. She closed her eyes, felt them burning in their sockets. The pain was unimaginable. What she would give for it to end...

And finally, it stopped. She was back on the battlefield, dazed but alive.

The Legends were in chaos. Her entire body glowed white as she surveyed the scene. She looked down at her hands.

"Well, you know what they say..." She floated up above. She saw Regigigas. He saw her. He knew he was going to die, as soon as she did. She grinned wickedly. "KILL 'EM ALL, AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT, MOTHERFUCKER!"

She unleashed holy hell on the entire battlefield. Darkrai grinned, before being sucked into the pulsing light.

Luna flashed up before Regigigas. In a final act of defiance, she spit on his body, and yelled, "CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL!"

The light consumed everything.

Then there was nothing.

She'd...

"Destroyed the entire world." Mew spoke softly. Arceus nodded. "WE CAN REBUILD. THE LEGEND'S HALL CAN BE BROUGHT TO GLORY AGAIN. WE HAVE THE SOULS OF THE PURE AND TRUE. BUT IT WILL TAKE TIME." Mew smirked.

"Thanks to her, we've got all the time in the world."

The War was over. All life had been stripped away. Just like it was before the First War. History repeats itself, even after our greatest effort.

And Luna?

Her body was gone. The fire had cleansed her as well.

Her soul was rising far away.

"Salem?" She called out. "Are you there?" She got an answer, but not from him, from her faithful Houndoom. "Azrael! You're here too!" She squealed, hugging him. He grinned.

"The others are having their family reunions. But you know, I never had any family but you." The two embraced, loving each other in their special quiet way, not speaking for a long time.

Cybela, Nyeros, Merope, Helalyn, and Feraia all came to stand by her side. None of them spoke.

"Wassup, homeez?" Luna turned around. Salem stood there, slightly paler and more... dead-looking. He waved. She didn't miss a beat, just called, "You're the worst ghetto impressionist I've ever seen, you know that?" He smiled at her.

"Am I dead?" She asked softly. He nodded. "Everything is. You destroyed the entire world of heaven." Everyone was silent. She shrugged sheepishly.

"Oops." He laughed softly. "Yeah, oops. But they're rebuilding." She thought.

"Without me?" He nodded. "Yeah, I guess. You're not needed anymore. They killed Regigigas. So I guess... you're free. From everything." She smiled.

"I always wanted to be free." He proffered a hand. She stared at him, and he grinned sheepishly.

"Wanna be free with me?" She looked at the expanse of white. "Can we run away from here?" He called out Heria, Kita, and Arsena. Luna looked at Feraia, Azrael, Merope, Nyeros, Cybela, and Helalyn. They all smiled at the two.

"We can. We can go where no one can find us. Do you want that?" She nodded slowly. He grabbed her hand. They closed their eyes—

And they were dissolving, changing dimensions. She wanted to scream, but didn't. She smiled, as she looked down. It was the entire world, and she was looking above it. "We'll keep an eye on the Legends. Make sure they don't get themselves killed. But we're dead. Might as well enjoy it." Salem said, brushing his hair out of his eyes.

Luna nodded. "Yeah." They turned and looked up at an endless sea of stars. The stars seemed to smile back at them. "Race you!" Luna wailed, rushing off. The pokemon and Salem followed in hot pursuit.

And that, dear Reader, is where it ends.

With an endless sea of possibility.
