LET THAT CHAPTER TITLE EXPLAIN ALL!

X: HUZZAH!


X and Crag: *flying back to X's room*

Whirlpool: Hello you two! How did training go?

Crag: Great. We're going to practice a little more tomorrow.

Whirlpool: As are we!

Sparklus: *asleep*

X: Hey, mind if I carry him back to my room?

Whirlpool: Not at all. *slides Sparklus onto X's back*

X: M'kay! See you tomorrow!

Crag: Try not to get drunk again!

X: That was so funny I forgot to laugh. *flies off*

Imagi: We're back!

Samus: Yo.

Crag: How went Inferno and Drillfang?

Imagi and Samus: ... No.

Imagi: Where's X?

Crag: In her room.

Daldronor: I HAVE RETURNED!

Di: Quiet!

Luna: Hello!

Millenia: What's up?

X: *pokes head out of room* Hey guys! *waves*

Daldronor: Hi!

Millenia: Hey there! Where's Sparklus?

Asleep. So, how did your training sessions go?

Millenia: Great!

Daldronor: Perfect!

Imagi: PLOT CONVENIENCE!

Luna: What?

Millenia: Hmhm yes!

X: Very good.

Lucina: PURPLE!

Crag: *leans over to Whirlpool* Uh-

Whirlpool: I'm just as confused as you are matey...

Di: Perhaps it's a human thing...

Luna: Can't be, the Pokémon are doing it too...

Imagi: NAP TIME! (Literally falls asleep on the floor.)

Drillfang: I feel the need to get some aspirin...

Luna: Me too...

-(The next day.)-

Crag: X WAKE UP!

X: Why...

Crag: Kraxcor, he's here!

X: WHAAAAAAAAT!? *jumps up and runs to everyone else, who are asleep* GUYS! *shakes Sparklus viciously* GET UP! *whacks Millenia with a pillow* KRAXCOR'S ATTACKING! *slaps Daldronor a bunch* WE GOTTA HELP! *smacks Imagi with tail* *throws Lucina into the ceiling* *roars in Samus's ear* *scratches Wendell's face*

Imagi: (Punches X out the window.) I want pancakes...

Lucina: Why am I on the ceiling fan...

Wendell: I think I'm bleeding...

Samus: Who said pancakes...

X: WAKE UP ALREADY!

Luna: *runs past* What are you all standing around for!? Kraxcor's army's invading, and we need all available soldiers! *continues running*

X: Grrrr...Kraxcor...*follows Luna*

Crag: *turns to everyone else* What are you waiting for!? This is what we trained you for, right? *follows X and Luna*

Imagi: But I wanted pancakes...

Samus: (Cracks neck.) Well, wanna go kick a**?

Wendell: I'm in!

Lucina: Can someone get me down, I'm kinda stuck...

Imagi: (Flies up and grabs Lucina.)


*dozens of dragon soldiers wearing either dark red or dark gray armor (Kraxcor's army) are battling another group of various dragons in various types of armor (the good guys) all across the city. Buildings are on fire or destroyed, and civilian dragons are fleeing, trying to avoid the battle*

Crag: *barking out orders to the soldiers while fighting off enemies*

X: *sees a pair of Kraxcor's soldiers about to attack a mother dragon and her kids* OH NO YOU DON'T! *divebombs the dragons and digs her claws into their heads, then flings them into a building* Now, where is everyone else at!?


A commander: FIRE ON THAT DRA-

*BOOM!*

Imagi: *Sitting in a crater with a nightmarish grin.* Hello gents!

Commander: Ah crap...

Imagi: First smart thing you said today!


Wendell: SAVAGE CLAW! (Slashes through a group of guards before turning to Luna.) When did they get here?!

Luna: I don't know!


Lucina: (Impaling dragon after dragon.) God, they're everywhere!

Samus: Just makes it easier to take 'em out! (Fires another Super Missile at a battalion.)


Imagi: If you're gonna leave, you better get moving! (Slashes at the commander again with his scythe.)

X: Imagi!

Imagi: Oh X, how nice of you to show up!

X: Where's Daldronor and the others?!


Daldronor: DRAGON ASCENT! (Slams into a group of flyers before firing a Dragon Pulse at some ground troops.)


X: *three dragons charge at X* Grr! DIMENSIONAL...*eyes glow* BLADES! *blades emerge and skewer the dragons*

Dragon Soldier: Sir! We have located X and the others! Shall we terminate them?

Kraxcor: Hm...no. X is as dumb as a snail, but she's persistent. She'll bring the fight to me soon enough. When she does...*mechanical arm flashes* I will destroy her myself! *smiles cruelly as he watches the battle*

X: I feel like someone called me dumb...

Imagi: I wonder why?

X: I WILL MURDER YOU WITH A SPORK.


Samus: Eh?

Dragon: DIE!

Lucina: NOPE! (Stabs him with her spear.)


Wendell: BIG BLOW! (Flaps his wings and pushes the enemies back.)

Luna: CRESCENT SLASH! (Slashes through them in a arc.)


Drillfang: Over here!

*a pair of soldiers turn in Drillfang's direction*

Drillfang: *rushes forward and slashes the dragons with his drill claws, which are now rotating rapidly*


Crag: *sidesteps away from a fire blast and darts forward, slashing the neck of an opponent*

*a second dragon flies up and attempts to divebomb Crag*

Crag: *ducks, then punches the dragon in the stomach, knocking him to the ground. He then jumps up and burns the dragon with fire*


Whirlpool: *on top of a building, watching as a dragon flies up trying to attack her. She then swings her tail and knocks down a large, loose piece of debris at him, thus crushing him* TAKE THAT LANDLUBBER!


Imagi: IMAGI KNUCKLE! (Punches a dragon in the snout before stomping it into the ground.)

X: WHERE'S KRAXCOR?!

Imagi: Probably in that giant airship.

X: What ai- HOLY FUDGE. HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THAT?!

(A giant airship floats above the city, red and gold, with cannons and spikes jutting out of every corner.)

X: Grrrrr...! *spreads wings* Imagi...stay...here.

Imagi: TO HELL WITH THAT! I GOTTA GET HIM BACK FOR KING AND NARRATOR!

X: I said stay here!

Imagi: Gotta stop me first! (Starts flying to the ship while being chased by X.)

X: *grabs Imagi, eyes glowing red* I. SAID. *lands and forces him to the ground* STAY HERE! *gets up real close to Imagi so they're looking eye to eye. X grits her teeth and she speaks in.a demonic voice*

I.

AM.

SERIOUS. *flies up to the airship*

Sparklus: *walks over* Huh. I haven't heard her use the demon voice since we went to the Cave of Origins and she told me to stay in my Poké Ball. I came out when she had to fight Jorraskivor, though...

Imagi: Demon Voice or not, I'M GETTING PAYBACK FOR KING AND NARRATOR! (Flies after X. Again.)

X: WHY WON'T YOU DO WHAT I SAY?! GRRRR! *grabs Imagi again and shoves him into a hole in a building* STAY! THIS IS MY BATTLE! KRAXCOR'S MY ENEMY, HE IS MY ARCHENEMY, AND I HAVE TO STOP HIM! *calms down* I already lost King and Narrator. I DON'T want to risk losing anyone else. *flies up again*


Pilot: Sir! Enemy approaching!

Kraxcor: What? What kind of dragon would be foolish enough to attack a-

*SPLAT!*

*X faceplants onto the glass of Kraxcor's airship*

Kraxcor: Ah, X. Why am I not surprised?

X: *gets up* KRAXCOR! How DARE you attack the Great Dragon Spire Galaxy!? I won't let you get away with this!

Kraxcor: Pilot, can you please wipe that BUG off the window?

Pilot: With pleasure. *presses button*

X: Huh? *giant windshield wiper comes and slaps X off the window, knocking her to the side*

Kraxcor: Well, that was easy.


X: *tumbling alongside the airship* I'M NOT GIVING UP! *plants claws into the wall of the ship* DIMENSIONAL BLADES! *blades tear open a hole in the side of the ship. X then enters the ship*

Dragon Guards: ...

X: ...YOLO. *grabs the first two guards and throws them into the other two guards. She then runs in the direction of the room where Kraxcor was*

Imagi: (Kicks X into a wall.) AND I HAVE TO GET PAYBACK. NOW LET ME DO WHAT I WANT!

X: What in the-!? How did you get up here so fast!?

Imagi: I'm PISSED.

X: Well, why won't you listen to me?

Imagi: I owe my life to King! If anyone takes him down, it's me!

X: *sighs* Fine. Since I obviously can't stop you, you can help me fight. We'll BOTH take down Kraxcor, how's that?

Kraxcor: Now that you two have stopped...

X: *growls* Listen, Krax. Before now, I've taken you down a BUNCH of times in the past. Who's to say I-

Imagi: Ahem.

X: -WE can't do it now?

Kraxcor: Oh, X. A year older, and still the young, dumb, hero-fixated child you always were.

X: So HE'S the one who called me dumb!

Kraxcor: Back then, I didn't have this power...*holds up mechanical arm, which is glowing in a dark purple light*...the power to take the very energy of others...*Kraxcor's eyes also have a purple glow to them*...and make it my own...*smile wickedly* YOU CANNOT HOPE TO UNDERSTAND IT! Now that we've met again, how about I show you some of the new abilities I gained while you were here? *arm glows brighter until a dozen holographic cannons appear on Kraxcor's back* INFINITY CANNON! *the cannons all shoot a barrage of cannonballs at X and Imagi*

Imagi: Yeah... no. (Snaps fingers, causing the cannonballs to stop in the air.)

Kraxcor: ...

X: ...

Kraxcor: ...*arm flashes, causing the cannonballs to start moving again*

Imagi: I said no! (Snaps finger again, sending the cannonballs back at Kraxcor.)

Kraxcor: *holds up hand* MIRROR REFLECT! *the cannonballs once again are reflected at Imagi, only this time they are traveling at twice the speed and they are now burning with purple fire*

X: Is this a battle or a game of Pong? What's even happening?

Imagi: Sigh. Some people never learn. (Snaps fingers again, this time erasing them from existence.) Now, my turn...

Kraxcor: ...

Imagi: FULL BURST! (Fires several Imagi Cannons at once at Kraxcor.)

Kraxcor: TEMPORAL RIP! *time slows down, allowing Kraxcor to destroy all the blasts with fire*

Imagi: X.

X: Yes?

Imagi: (Grabs her by the tail.) I need a weapon.

X: THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! *is being spun*

Kraxcor: If that's the best you can do, this fight should be over rather quickly...GAMMA VINES! *multicolored vines emerge from portals in a similar fashion to Dimensional Blades and wrap around X*

X: AAAGH! *struggles in the vines* AND THIS IS WHY I'M NOT A CLUB! *bites through the vines and charges straight at Kraxcor*

Kraxcor: Now t-

Imagi: Mine. (Grabs Kraxcor's tail)

Kraxcor: Aw cra- (Starts getting slammed into the walls.)

Kraxcor: CLUB BANG! *tail end becomes a spiked ball, and Kraxcor proceeds to slam it into Imagi*

X: ENOUGH OF YOU! *bites Kraxcor's tail*

Kraxcor: GRRRGH! *swings X into the ceiling*

X: *uses hind legs to propel herself into Kraxcor*

Kraxcor: *slashes at X's face*

*the two dragons begin to slash, bite, and shoot fire at each other in an intense battle*

Imagi: Wow, never thought a chick fight could happen with a guy...

Kraxcor: HOW DARE YOU! I AM YOUR DOOM!

Imagi: Oh yeah! (Pulls out a rod.) I got the Dominion Rod!

X: What does it do?

Imagi: This. (Swings.)

Kraxcor: Nothing happened.

Imagi: Wait for it...

*SLAM!*

(Giant hammer appears out of nowhere and squashes Kraxcor.)

Imagi: YAY!

Kraxcor: *gets up, fuming, and raises his hand to the air. Suddenly, a battle ax with lightning bolt patterns materializes in Kraxcor's hand* STORM BLADE! *swings ax, attempting to hit X and Imagi, and also releasing lightning bolts in all directions with each swing*

X: *dodges swings and electricity while shooting fireballs at Kraxcor*

Imagi: (Swings.)

*SPLAT!*

Imagi: (Swings.)

*SPLAT!*

Imagi: (Swingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswing.)

*SPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLAT!*

Kraxcor: *countering Imagi's attacks with his blade* ARE YOU TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY?!

I HATE YOU SO MUCH! *slashes at Kraxcor's back*

Imagi: (Swingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswing-) No, because then I'd have to care about you.

*SPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLAT-*

Kraxcor: Feeling is mutual, mortal! *swings axe at X, launching a huge bolt*

X: *ducks to avoid it, and then the bolt destroys the window*

Kraxcor: GRAAGH!

X: HA!

Imagi: (Swingswingswingswingswingswingswingswing-

*SPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLAT-*

Kraxcor: WILL YOU STOP?!

Imagi: ... Nope. (Swingswingswing-)

Kraxcor: ENOUGH OF THIS! SONIC SCREECH! *Kraxcor unleashes an ear splitting screech at Imagi*

X: *covers ears* WHERE DID HE FIND ALL THESE ATTACKS!?

Imagi: (Puts on earmuffs.)

X: And where does he keep that stuff?

Imagi: *Swingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswingswing-)

*SPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLATSPLAT-*

Kraxcor: THAT'S IT! ENOUGH GAMES! *black feathers appear behind Kraxcor*

X: What the-!?

Kraxcor: ARROW STORM! *the feathers catch fire*

X: Wait... THAT'S KING'S ATTACK!

Kraxcor: I KNOW. *the feathers are launched at X and Imagi*

Imagi: (Snaps fingers.)

(Feathers disappear.)

Kraxcor: W-what?

Imagi: Now, if you were King, that wouldn't be happening! But... You're not. You're a God damn leech who thinks that power is best stolen, and for that, I have to kick your a** so hard, it will ORBIT the galaxy, come back, and land square on your ugly face!

Kraxcor: ...Hehehe...hehehaha...hahahahahaHAHAHAHA!

X: Um...

Kraxcor: You young fool, haven't you figured it out yet? The power I stole...it doesn't belong to that of puny mortals such as yourself. Beings like you cannot truly hope to understand the abilities you have. The power to warp the very fabric of reality...powers over nature...the powers to bend time and space...how can a mortal use those powers in their true way? I, however, know what true power is. What it feels like...what it looks like...and now, thanks to this *holds up mechanical arm*, I can take the power from the mortals to use it in the way they were truly meant to be used! Mortals dampen their power, weaken it...confine it...but with me, I can use those abilities in ways that no mortal could ever DREAM of doing! I AM KRAXCOR, KING OF THE ALDRAXIS EMPIRE! I AM NO LEECH! I myself...am TRUE POWER IN A PHYSICAL FORM, AND NOBODY CAN STAND AGAINST ME!

Imagi: ... I just conked out, what did I miss? Oh well. (Swing.)

Kraxcor: You insignificant-

*SPLAT!*

Kraxcor: YOU THINK YOU'RE SO POWERFUL, DON'T YOU!? YOU'RE NOT EVEN REAL, JUST A CREATURES FROM SOMEBODY ELSE'S MIND!

X: Hey.

Kraxcor: WHAT!?

X: *punches him in the face* Shut up.

Imagi: Thank you.

X: You're welcome!

Imagi: Also, I may not be real, but dammit, I still do more awesome s*** than anyone I know. Props to not being real!

X: YEAH! SCREW PHYSICS!

Kraxcor: MAYBE YOU WON'T BE SO CONFIDENT...*arms glows purple* IF YOUR PRECIOUS POWERS WERE MINE! *makes a grab for Imagi*

X: HOW ABOUT NO! *headbutts Imagi out of the way*

Kraxcor: *grabs X by the throat* Huh? *confused, then smiles* EVEN BETTER! *arm glows brightly again*

Imagi: (Snaps fingers.)

Kraxcor: (Arm disappears.)

Imagi: (Now holding arm.)

Kraxcor: *twitches, then smiles* One thing you must know about me...*mechanical wing suddenly transforms into an arm* is that I ALWAYS have a backup plan! TEMPORAL TWIST!


*everything is now back as it was a minute ago*

Kraxcor: MAYBE YOU WON'T BE SO CONFIDENT...*arm glows purple* IF YOUR PRECIOUS POWERS WERE MINE! * makes a grab for Imagi*

X: HOW ABOUT NO! *headbutts Imagi out of the way*

Kraxcor: *grabs X by the throat, smiling*

X: Wait, wha-? YOU REVERSED TIME!?

Kraxcor: That I did, my enemy, that I did...and now...*arm glows until he begins to steal X's energy*

X: GROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHH! *squirming to escape*

Kraxcor: I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS, DRAGON KNIGHT!

Imagi: Now you've done it... (Claps hands.)

Kraxcor: (All mechanical parts turn to dust, before then being regrown into regular dragon flesh.) W-what?

Imagi: My name comes from the word imagination. I can make anything. DO anything. Or... recreate it. I am only stopped by death and life, and everything else bows to my will. I am Imagus 'Imagi' Proxi, the Phoenix King, and I have made my decision.

X: *twitching on the ground, still reeling from the attack*

Kraxcor: You...you IDIOT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE!? WHAT YOU'VE JUST RELEASED!? The energy inside that glove...all of it COMBINED...you said you are only stopped by life and death...well, all that power is BEYOND life and death! STRONGER THAN IT! If what you said is true...then you can't stop it! None of is can! And do you know what that means, boy!? ANSWER ME, DO YOU!?

Imagi: So... It isn't life and death?

Kraxcor: YOU IDIOT!


King: Eh... AH! DRAGONS! SHUCKLE! I-

Rosalina: Whoa King! Calm it!


Kraxcor: The energy needs a vessel to take in, idiot! Very few are able to control it...*looks up at the swirling cloud of dark purple energy on the ceiling*...and if the energy becomes part of something that's NOT strong enough-

X: *gets up, recovered* Ugh...HUH!? *sees cloud* What in the world!? Hold on...*blasts fire at the cloud*

Kraxcor: NOOO! STOP IT, YOU FOOL!

X: What, it's just a cloud of weird stuff, it's not gonna-

*the cloud stops, makes various hissing and gurgling noises, then shoots into X's mouth*

X: WAIT, WHAT DID I JUST- GRRRGH-! GRRRRRRAAAARRRGH-! *deadly purple energy starts to surround X in the form of purple cracks, and her eyes start to glow purple*

Kraxcor: *steps back* I already know what you're going to try to do. You're going to use those imagination powers of yours to turn everything back to normal! But you can't! This is STRONGER than life and death...the powers and imagination of Authors from all over the Multiverse who's powers I took! I care nothing for the Dragon Knight, so I don't care what happens next, but I don't want to be present when it does!

X: *screeches in an inhuman way, then hurtled herself out through the hole in the window and flies twice as fast to the city, leaving behind a purple streak*

Kraxcor: YOUR FAULT. WHATEVER HAPPENS NOW IS YOUR FAULT...

Imagi: Well s***...


How's that for a cliffhanger?

X: :)
