Jarceus: Hello and welcome to chapter 27 of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Dual Helpers. I hope you will all enjoy.

Firesage101: I am reading this and I love the story. I can't wait for more. Especially when we find out what is going to happen.

Ultimate Leviathan: Moar.

Battle: We have more, and we have war.

Dusknoir: Sure. By the way, we never did settle who was stronger.

Battle: I'd be happy too prove that any time.

Jarceus: On to the story!


Last Time


"You saw it didn't you? That world, a world where sunrise and tomorrow are natural things, where the feeling of sunlight is normal. Dusknoir, don't you see? There's absolutely no future for this accursed world—it's enough to break my heart. None of us want to disappear, either… But if history could be changed, if I could bring hope to this world… Then that is a price I would pay five times over!" Ranted Battle making Dusknoir stare at him strangely before he continued his rant "If we disappeared, then it would be for the sake of everyone who lives in this time… Everyone—Everything—would be given the gift of something hardly anyone gets, a second chance…A second life." He continued

"A…Second life?" Asked Dusknoir confused

"The Planetary Investigation team did a survey. According to their data, only the pokémon who's hearts were consumed by the darkness surrounding us wanted the world to stay as it is. That means that mostly everyone were willing to pay the price to change this world of darkness." Explained Battle before he started walking away from Dusknoir

"Where will you go now?" He asked making Battle stop

"Chances are a Sableye found us while we were unconscious. I'm not taking any chances, I'm going to go straight towards Dialga, and finishing what my parents started." Stated Battle

"But, Jarod, in the state you are in now it's a suicide mission! You'd have to be in perfect shape just to consider taking on Master Dialga! How do you expect to win?" Asked Dusknoir in shock as he stared at the Ninetales

"I already know I won't win the battle. But I've won the war. Right now, as we speak, Jarod and everyone else are marching forwards towards Temporal Tower to change the past." Chuckled Battle as he walked off leaving Dusknoir alone

"Damn it!" Shouted Dusknoir as he started to give chase only to fall over from his injuries "Ugh! Fuck! I'm still too weakened… I can't move… But, Jarod can't just do as he pleases!" He growled as he pushed himself up using nothing but his will as he slowly floated after the fleeing Ninetales.


Now


"Jesus, how far am I from Temporal Tower?" Asked Battle to himself before he felt Dusknoir's aura behind him "Oh. It's you." He sighed as he turned towards the ghost type

"Jarod." Growled Dusknoir

"Do you honestly want to fight? I mean, you're wounded and barely standing." Pointed out Battle before a voice alerted the two towards the newcomer

"Ja-Jarod! Here he is! Over here!" Shouted a Sableye before an audible laugh came from ahead as three more Sableye ran over and blocked the exit

"Ha hah hah ha… Jarod! I DON'T regret to inform you that the situation has changed!" Laughed Dusknoir as he looked between the Sableye "Sableye! Your arrival is admirably timed! Be so good as to knock out Jarod!" He suggested before the Sableye started jumping and swiping at Battle

"Grr. This is annoying!" Growled Jarod before he threw two Sableye at Dusknoir, who dodged them before the Sableye got up and started attacking him as well

"What do you think you are doing?!" Shouted Dusknoir in alarm before he was forced to dodge another attack from a Sableye only to be struck down by the other one "Gah! Wha…What is the meaning of this!" He shouted as the two Sableye neared him

"Flamethrower!" Called out Battle as he blasted a typhoon of flames at the Sableye stopping their advance "Dusknoir! Don't question them! They are trying to kill you! Fight back!" He shouted as he jumped over his two Sableye before he landed next to Dusknoir

"What?" Asked Dusknoir in shock

"I hate this situation as much as you, but if we don't team up we'll be taken down. You have to knowledge of the landscape while I have the knowledge on how to avoid detection." Explained Battle as he shoved an Aura Sphere into a Sableye's stomach somehow doing massive damage

"Fine, I'll work with you." Sighed Dusknoir as he fired a Shadow Ball at another Sableye knocking it out

"Good." Said Battle simply as he stabbed an aura sword into a Sableye before he lifted it up slicing the Sableye clean in half

"Aura? When have you been able to use that?" Asked Dusknoir curious

"Always, I'm what's known as an Aura Guardian. I can use aura to do many things. It's also part of why I have the Dimensional Scream." Explained Battle before he felt a sting in his brain "Not now." He growled as everything went white


Vision


"Aura? What type of a name is that?" Giggled a Fennekin as she sat next to a Riolu under a large tree looking over a village

"It's my name, that's for sure. I don't know why I have a name, but I do. But what about your name? Christy? That sounds like something from those fairytales with the humans." Countered the Riolu, presumably Aura

"My name is perfectly normal, well… where I come from at least." Argued the Fennekin making Aura laugh "What?"

"I had my suspicions, but now I know. You're from a different world." Chuckled Aura "Your aura didn't seem normal, hell! It seemed…human in nature." He added getting a confused look from Christy

"How do you know what a human's aura is like if they only exist in fairytales?" She asked confused making Aura freeze and stare out into space "Aura? Are you ok?" She asked as she waved per paw in front of his face


Vision End


"Shadow Ball!" Called out Dusknoir as he hit a Sableye who was about to attack Battle "Pay more attention in battle will you!" He growled making Battle feel awkward

"Sorry, I had a vision." He answered quickly before he fired a Fire Blast at a Sableye reducing it to ashes leaving only one Sableye standing

"AHH!" Screamed the Sableye as it ran away leaving behind his last living companion

"Why?" Asked Dusknoir confused as he stared at the sky "Why are the Sableye…attacking me…" He wondered

"Humph. Don't you get it already Dusknoir? It's probably like I thought. Dialga hates failure, and loosing to us at the last moment was the biggest failure to him, meaning he now wants to get rid of you." Guessed Battle "And the Sableye just followed orders, after all, did they not abandon you to our team back in the past? They don't respect you above their own lives." He continued

"What are you implying?! It's simply not possible! The very thought is insane! Master Dialga wouldn't just throw me away like that!" Denied Dusknoir

"Sure, sure, what ever floats your boat, Dusknoir. But I'm going on ahead. If you try to stop me then it won't be pretty." Stated Battle as he started walking away

"Wait! Why don't we call a temporary truce, Jarod? Would you accompany me… For a little while, at least?" Requested Dusknoir making Battle stop in his tracks

"Excuse me, WHAT?!" Shouted Battle in shock

"It's not a joke. I'm serious. During the battle you did bring up a point." Stated Dusknoir as he stared at Battle

"Fine. I'll allow you to journey with me, if only because we need each others expertise." Sighed Battle before he put a Shadow Ball very close to Dusknoir's face "But, any sign of betrayal and I will get my revenge." He growled, his voice gaining a demonic tone at the end to drive his point home

"That is only fair." Nodded Dusknoir has Battle fired the Shadow Ball into the wall

"Good, and fyi, my name isn't Jarod anymore, it is Battle." He stated before he walked ahead


Jarceus: That is all for this chapter, I hope you all enjoyed.

Grovyle: Battle, I don't trust Dusknoir.

Battle: And you think I do? P-lease! I have my eyes on him 24/7. He does anything out of line and he's dead.

Dusknoir: And you guys say I'm the villain.

Grovyle&Battle: YOU ARE!
