(Author's note: hope you've been enjoying this story so far. Quick note though. I know by now that it's Steven Stone, not Stephen Stone. Big mistake that I don't want to fix ,so every time it says Stephen from now on, just realize that it actually means Steven okay enjoy this chapter.)

The next morning I wake up early. I get out of the bed and walk into bathroom where I look in the mirror. My black hair is all over the place. I sigh as I grab a brush.

"I don't grow and yet my hair does."

I mutter as I brush. I check my watch. Three o'clock.

"Pretty early to be getting ready." I say aloud.

I remember the technique that Arceus taught me.

I open the door and check to see if anyone was awake. Nope.

I lock the door and face the mirror.

Alright so how do I do this again? Oh right.

I stick my hand out and summon a small amount of dark energy.

It's purple as I suspected. I wonder...

I stretch my hand out and touch it. My hand burns as I absorb it.

I look back at the mirror. Yup my face is half, well, true form.

Someone knocks on the door causing me to jump.

"Jole? Can you hurry?" Stephen says from the other side.

"Um yes!" I say not realizing that my voice was a little distorted.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just thirsty!"

Stephen called my bluff.

"Oh no you're not! Open the door!"

"Hey, dot break down the door to the bathroom! That's weird!"

Stephen stops.

"Okay, then tell me the truth, why is your voice weird."

I'm done.

"Okay, okay! Fine, Arceus taught me how to summon night and dark energy. I just thought I'd test it."

I could practically hear the facepalm.

"So you're..."

"Yes."

"Can you fix it?"

"Yeah sure, I'll do it right now."

I stick out my hand and summon light energy and absorb it.

It burns, but less than the dark energy. I unlock the door and step out to see Stephen with his arms crossed.

"What!?"

He looks at me sternly.

"Do you know what could've happened if you accidentally absorbed too much!?"

"Yes, Arceus explained that to me."

"Same."

"Huh, why?"

Stephen closes his eyes and smirks.

"He says I'd be the last hope if you truly went back to that form. He also told me to tell you to give me the fail safe, any idea what that could be?"

I'm stunned, but then again, if anyone deserved the fail safe it would be Stephen.

I scratch the back of my head.

"You sure?"

"Yes."

I smile.

"It's gonna hurt."

"Just do it."

"Fine."

I put one of my hands on Stephen's head and the other on his chest.

"This'll wake everyone up, I bet."

I concentrate as I transfer the fail safe.

My chest explodes in pain and I hear Stephen grunting in pain. Suddenly the room fills with white light, then it stops and I'm breathing heavily.

Stephen is passed out on the floor and Parker sits up.

"What was that?"

I'm in no mood to answer seeing as in the fail safe I also transferred some light energy. My face is slightly cracked.

I lay on my bed.

"Nothing."

I hear a knock on the door.

I turn on the lights as I answer it.

Rose is standing there.

"What is going on in here?"

I feel weak right now.

"Hi Rose." I say weakly.

She looks at my face, which is slightly cracked.

She gasps.

"Your face!"

I walk back over to my bed and lay down. Parker turns on the news while Rose tries to talk to me.

"What's going on? Why is Stephen on his face? Why is your face cracked?"

I'm kinda coming back to reality. I rub my face and realize that it is cracked.

"Uh, Rose it's nothing. I'll fix it in like ten minutes." I say sleepily.

Stephen is waking up.

"What, ung. Jole you're right, that did hurt."

Rose looked even more confused.

"What happened to Stephen?"

I come fully to now.

"Um, it's a fail safe."

"A fail safe?"

"You know, in case of, well you know."

She looked slightly offended.

"Why Stephen though?"

"Hey guys, you might want to see this!" Parker interrupts.

Stephen gets up and we turn and see the tv.

"Miraculously, furher Minak survived, and in an almost surreal turn of events, has healed completely. This begs the question of what new medicines have doctors been creating-"

I stare at the screen, at Minak, no not Minak. Who is that.

Subconsciously I walk over to the tv and stare at the picture. It looks like Minak, but his eyes are maroon, and his hair is black, instead of dark brown. This was a shapeshifter.

"Well we tried, I guess." Parker said.

Maroon is a shade of red, red eyes, black hair, just like me!

"That's not Minak!" I say aloud.

They all turn to me.

"The red eyes, the black hair, that's a shapeshifter. Not only that, but the red eyes and black hair is exactly what I have!"

"Yeah! Spooky coincidence!" Parker said.

"No, it's too obvious."

"Jole, you're not suggesting that-"

"Yes I'm exactly suggesting that!"

There was silence for awhile before Rose spoke up.

"Okay what's going on? Just spill the beans!"

I face palm.

"Okay, well what I'm suggesting that Minak-" I point to the screen. "- that Minak, the shapeshifter, is in fact a creature of darkness, like me."

"You know you can just say daemon." Parker pointed out.

"Hey, I'm not a daemon!"

Parker blushes.

"Oh! Sorry!"

"Whatever."

That reminds me that my face is slightly cracked. I summon a small ball of light energy and absorb it, in front of everyone.

"Uh, what was that?" Rose asked.

"That, Rose is what healed me last time."

"Yeah but what is it?"

"Can we get back to the topic on hand!" Parker shouts.

"Yeah, geez."

"Anyway, you say he's your, like, brother?"

I haven't thought of that.

"No! And, if it was- hey we don't even know if it's a boy shapeshifter!"

Parker smirked.

"Well, if it is what you say it is, then it'd your sibling."

I'm peeved about this for some reason.

"A creature of darkness that was made by my creators, would not be my sibling!"

Parker sighed and looked like he was remembering something.

"That's exactly what I said about my sister."

We all slap him.

"Ow!"

"Get back on track!" Stephen warned.

He turns to me.

"What are we going to do?"

"I say we walk right up to him and ask."

I turn to the door and I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Um perhaps you'd like to watch the news." Rose pointed to the screen, where there was a picture of me as the Alpha. The shadow Alpha I guess.

"What about it?"

"The Alpha is now wanted."

This annoys me.

"Then Jole Neal will walk up and ask him."

We all walk down the street towards the Lumios tower, where Minak, or the person pretending to be Minak, is staying.

I hold the door open for everyone.

"After you." I say politely.

Rose and Parker walk in and I stop Stephen.

"If things go south, use the fail safe."

"How?"

I whisper to him how to activate it.

We all walk in and I go up to the manager at the counter.

"Hi, we're here to see Minak."

He looks at us like we're stupid.

"I can't allow civilians to see the furher."

"That's fine."

I turn to the direction of the where the voice came from. There right before me was the thing pretending to be Minak.

"I invited them. Or at least the one with black hair."

I look around our group and realize I WAS the only one with black hair.

"Isn't that right, mr. Neal."

He said the name Neal with disgust.

"Come with me." He pointed at me.

I walk towards him after telling Stephen to get the fail safe ready.

He nods as I walk.

When we go into his room he locks the door.

Funny, a locked door couldn't stop me.

He turns around and he looks mad.

"I know why you're here!"

I stand up.

"Good then I won't have to convince you show me your true form."

He sneers.

"I will if you will."

"I bet you'd like that wouldn't you."

"Fine!"

He transforms into the maroon zorark that Minak transformed into during our battle.

"This is my true form, brother!"

His eyes go wide as he says that.

"Well, I guess he was right." I said.

I turn into the Alpha.

"That's not your true form!" He sneers.

"It is now, I'm not one of you. Let me introduce myself, I'm Jole Neal, The Alpha."

He gets angered by this.

"Jole Neal is a human name, you are not a human!"

I ignore him.

"I told you my name, what's yours."

"I am the Omega! I was made after you where stolen! My mission is to bring you back, no matter what!"

I snort, there's no way this guy could beat me in a fight.

"Now come with me or die!"

"Now that's not a good way to greet you brother." I said.

He charges at me and I step to the side, causing him to break through the window.

I fly out the broken window, and face him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk you're gonna have to pay for that."

He charges again and this time I grab him and throw him to the ground.

"Alright brother, ready to play rough!"

Stephen, Parker, and Rose waited in the waiting room for Jole to come back.

Parker was pacing back and fourth muttering about how something had gone wrong.

Stephen looked at his watch.

"I need to use the Jon." He said as he made his way to the bathroom.

In the bathroom Stephen checked to see if the stalls where empty, then he went to the mirror.

"How do I do this again? Oh right."

He stuck out his hands and folded a few of his fingers, then he snapped. Instantly he felt different. He stuck out his hand and concentrated. Nothing happened. He put down his hand and sighed, then he looked at the sink. The water was flowing out of the nozzle.

"I didn't do that."

He looked in the mirror to see that his eyes where half green, half orange.

"So it did work."

He held out his hand again and concentrated. A small blue ball of aura began to grow.

Stephen smiled, the fail safe works.

He did the same thing he did to activate it to deactivate it. He smiled as he walked down the hall to where Parker and Rose where.

"Thanks for the fail safe Jole."

He stuck the keystone that was given to him into his pocket for the first time ever.

His good feeling was interrupted by the sound of glass breaking on the second floor.

"Why is it everywhere you go you keep making enemies."

The Omega hit the ground and got up a little dazed.

I flew down and actually landed it for once.

"Give up yet?"

"Never!" He says as he charges.

I sigh as I summon aura knives.

I throw one straight at him and it hits him right in the chest.

He trips at the impact.

I jump on him, grab him, and slam him in the ground.

I let go of him and hear him groan.

"We done, 'cause I think I won."

He lifts his head and smiles.

"I give, you win."

I smirk.

"If I win, then I choose the loser's fate." I summon a small ball of light. "I've always wanted a brother."

He starts to laugh.

"No, I just decided the winner's fate!"

No!

I feel the dark energy hit me in the back. I try to move, but the ray's too big.

I am changed back to my human form and I feel my face cracking.

"aaaaah!"

Behind me I hear a voice gloating.

"FOURTEEN YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT WHERE I WOULD BE REUNITED WITH MY CREATION!"

I turn in agony to see Giratina in it's origin form.

The left side of my face is already dark, and the rest of my body is following.

In my head I hear Xerneas's voice: "You'd lose the ability to feel emotions, as well as loose any form of regret or conscience!"

I look at my left arm, the last part of me to hold light in, and see the last bit of it turning purple.

Before I passed out I had one thought.

"Stephen, remember the fail safe!"

Parker and Rose ran outside to watch the battle. People screamed as the battle was ending.

Parker saw as the Omega fell to the ground and wouldn't get back up.

"Now there's a surprise." Parker said sarcastically.

Suddenly but quietly, Giratina appeared behind the Alpha.

"Um, Rose!"

She turned and looked panicked as the dark beam fell down on the Alpha.

When I wake up, I see Parker and Rose in a crowd watching as I get up. I see the people and hate and anger courses through me. I think only one word: kill!

I lift most of them with psychic energy. Behind me I hear Giratina telling me to kill them.

I see Parker and Rose are not among the floating people.

I close my hand and the people fall.

Omega got up and smiled.

"Well brother, now you know whose side you're really on."

He turned to see Giratina.

"You see, I have done as you asked!"

Giratina looked angrily at the Omega.

"You failure! When I got here, the Alpha was victorious, I got here in time to finish the plan. And now that it is finished, I have no further use for you!"

Giratina flicked one of his claws and the Omega went flying.

Suddenly Arceus floated down.

"Alpha! You must stop!"

I turn around and look at him.

Giratina looks at Arceus and back to me.

"Kill him."

I am angered by his order.

"I am not your slave!"

I stamp Giratina with an aura knife and he faints, then I throw one at Arceus and he falls to the ground. I turn to the people gathered.

"You will all perish!"

They scream.

"Now I leave you alone for five minuets and this happens!"

I turn to the voice.

"You really are helpless without me, aren't you?"

Before me stood Stephen Stone.

I try to lift him with psychic energy, but nothing happens.

"You fool! What are you here for!?"

"I'm gonna stop you."

I laugh.

"You will die!"

Stephen smiles.

"Fine with me!"

He snapped and the ground underneath me exploded in a mass of white light.

I get up and charge.

Stephen was ready for it, as he blasted with light energy!"

I get hit by it and I feel different. I look down at my hand to see its not purple like the rest of me.

"Stephen!"

All of my eyes are open as I float to the ground.

I look at the damage I caused.

I raise my hand and the people I killed floated.

"Please let it not be to late!"

I summoned back aura and filled the people with it. They got up and screamed as they saw me.

I look at my hand and summon light energy. I absorb it and turn into the Alpha.

I turn to the people.

"Um, that wasn't my fault."

I walk over to one of the now-living person that I killed.

"Do you expect us to believe that!"

"Well, actually yes."

"How!?"

"Because you're alive now, and that's what counts!"

I turn to Parker and Rose.

"Sorry for the scare."

I turn to Stephen, who is coughing up blood.

"Are you okay?"

"That was tough!"

I know."

I turn to the people again.

"I'm really sorry about this."

I replace their memories of me with memories of Giratina attacking.

In our hotel room I apologized to everyone.

"Um, you guys know that wasn't me, but I'm sorry anyway."

"Apologize to us with your real face." Parker said.

I realize that I'm still in Alpha form and I change back.

Rose gasps to see I'm not completely healed.

I close all of my three eyes that are showing.

"I'm sorry for letting this happen."

"Letting this happen! You nearly killed us!" Parker yelled.

I hang my head.

"I know. I couldn't control it, I'm sorry."

"You know what, I bet you could control it and you're just acting sorry so you can kill us later!"

I nearly punched Parker there, and I would've if Stephen hadn't done it himself.

He held his nose as Stephen stood up.

"You think he could control himself! You personally know him and you think that! I'm disgusted in you!"

"No he's right I could control it and I was!"

Stephen looked at me shocked.

"Yeah I could control me, a being with no emotions except hate and anger. Yeah I was controlling myself when my only longing was for destruction and death! That was how I felt when I controlled myself then! Now, I'm being ridiculed after that feeling's gone and I can feel again!"

My two left eyes are blazing and I feel angry.

Parker is silent.

Stephen looks at Parker and back to me.

"Still, he wasn't in his right mind."

I start shaking violently and my left eye eyes turn blue, then green, then back to red.

They all look at me. I fall unconscious.

Stephen picked me up in a hurry and pulled out something from his pocket.

He pressed it and a small light appeared and grew. He picked me up and waited for the portal to full size.

"What is that!?"

"A portal."

A golden hoop appeared around it.

"Tree of life!" Stephen yelled.

The tree of life appeared through the portal.

"Come on!"

They all climbed through the portal. Stephen turned around and, through the portal, picked up the small object.

The portal closed.

Stephen picked me up and started to run.

Suddenly Xerneas appeared and looked concerned.

"Somethings wrong! He won't heal and he passed out!"

Xerneas looked at me and then looked weak.

"You fool..."
