WARNING: Excessive use of the word "boss" in this chapter. And a Cipher Admin fight times three. So if you don't want me to say "boss" so much, then leave quickly.

And, this fanfic is no longer possible because of the events you have recently seen in Bleach, if you're looking at the latest chapters IN JAPAN. Why? Answer: ICHIGO'S NEW FORM. Now he's got an even bigger Getsuga, and Zangetsu isn't the same anymore. Heck, do we even know if this is Zangetsu? So, now I may get all my time eaten up by editing past chapters so Ichigo's using the new Zanpaku-to.

Also, I'd like to say Happy Birthday this month to…(drumroll)…MYSELF! Yes, my birthday is in September, though I will not say which day. So I did a little short involving what I'd do if I could live one day in the world of my story and do whatever I want, and how I'd feel when I've done it, though the main characters in my stories have no really important role. Hope you enjoy it! =D

Credit goes to LittleKuriboh for the whole "LIKE A BOSS!" thing. Hope he doesn't mind if I make a parody…of a parody. :D (Look on Youtube for the original by typing in "Kaiba's like a boss".)

Also, whoever made Dragon Ball Z Abridged gets credit for another variant of "IT'S OVER 9000!" Sorry if he takes offense.

And finally, credit goes to Superdaniellogan1 (a Youtuber) for inspiration of the "A normal day in the life of (whoever)" idea.


"Here we are, Iron Island," Axel said, getting off his motorcycle. "But even better, we got here using Motorcycles!" (On which they can play Card Games.)

"That's because I used my Fullbring to make the water solid, so we could get over here!" Hanna reminded him, rather exhausted now.

"Hey, is that a Mook?" Aeron asked, pointing at some Cipher Peon who was randomly walking around, complaining about how it was so boring to be standing on patrol here.

"Yep, it's a Mook alright," Hanna said. "So…what do we do? Show him who's boss?"

"Yeah," Aeron said. "Let's show him who's boss." He threw a stone at the guy and OHKO'd him. "Whoops."

"Aeron, you fool!" Axel shouted like it was the end of the world (which it wasn't). "Because you knocked him out, we can't show him who's boss now!"

"Look, let's just find that Temple of Steel," Hanna said. "We can show them who's boss later."

Using their motorcycles (despite Hanna's protests), Axel and Aeron quickly got over to the entrance to Iron Island's cave. "We made it!" Aeron shouted, jumping off his motorcycle.

"I still say using the motorcycles was a bad idea," Hanna said. "The Cipher Peons obviously should have heard that."

"Then we run in before they do," Axel said, running towards the cave. "Come on!"


At the Shadow Pokémon Factory…

"What's all this?" Byakuya wondered, looking around. All around, cartons were on conveyer belts were passing through strange machines, and workers were at computers, talking about how well the corruption went.

"I dunno, but it seems kind of bad," Kenpachi replied. "I say we bust everything to pieces!" (In case you haven't guessed, they completely mowed down the guards and forced their way in, but the workers were apparently too brain dead to notice.

"What a barbaric idea," Byakuya commented. "However, what they are doing is equally barbaric. Shall we?" He held up his sword. "Scatter, Senbonzakura (Thousand Cherry Blossoms)!" he shouted. Byakuya's blade turned pink, and then the blade dissolved into what appeared to be many sakura petals, drifting on the wind. Byakuya thrust his hilt forward, and the blades rushed forward, destroying one of the machines. Sensing reiatsu inside, Byakuya halted the blades before they could destroy the cartons passing through the machines, and rushed over to grab the cartons before what was left of the machine could land on it.

"GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kenpachi laughed, slashing another machine to bits like a madman, destroying it. "AHAHA…why the h*bleep* am I laughing?"

"Because you are a fool, that's why," Byakuya replied.

"Crap!" a worker shouted. "Hurry! Go tell the boss that there are intruders!"

"You'll do no such thing," they suddenly heard. Everyone looked up to see a tall, skinny man with black hair, white skin, and what appeared to be green tear-like streaks going down his face. He had no eyebrows, and what appeared to be armor with a horn rested on the left side of his head. "I won't let you."

Almost immediately, the man pretty much OHKO'd everyone WITH HIS BARE HANDS (LIKE A BOSS!). Byakuya and Kenpachi stared.

"You're…Ulquiorra Cifer," Byakuya noted. "What are you doing here?"

Ulquiorra turned back to them. "As soon as I heard Cipher was in Sinnoh, I came as fast as I could. Surely, you remember what happened 7 years ago."

"So in short, you're here to stop Cipher," Byakuya said. "Am I wrong?"

"No," Ulquiorra replied. "We'd better find their boss. I have a feeling I know who it is."

Another wall suddenly was blasted open as Ash, Candice, Paul, Ichigo, Renji, and Rukia jumped inside. "What the-Byakuya?" Ichigo shouted. "You got here already?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo," Byakuya said, sounding rather surprised. "This is the mission we were given. Why are you, a Substitute Shinigami, here?"

"It was our plan to get here in the first place," Ash replied. "And why the heck is Ulquiorra with you?"

"Let's just say I came for the same reasons you did, if you intend to stop Cipher," Ulquiorra replied.

"Movin' words, Ulquiorra!" they suddenly heard. And then, EVERY SINGLE F*bleep*ING CARTON SUDDENLY BLASTED OPEN, RELEASING TONS OF POKEMON. "But I guess that was all just hot air, huh? Don't worry, you'll get plenty of it!"

"Just as I thought," Ulquiorra muttered, looking up at where the voice was coming from, at some cowboy guy. "So it's you, Shooter!"


Cipher Admin Shooter would like to battle!

Shooter grinned. "You came to die, didn't you? That's the message I got from that!" He pointed his gun at them. "I loves my gun."

Flaming bullets rained down, forcing everyone to jump away. "Wait, what?" Paul shouted. "Those bullets shouldn't be flaming!"

"That's the special power of my gun," Shooter replied, grinning. "But that ain't the only thing you gotta worry about!" As if on cue, a Mr Mime made a grab at Candice's arm. She kicked him away and blasted ice at him.

"Pikachu, use Thunder!" Ash shouted, jumping away from a Poliwrath's punch. Pikachu jumped forward and electrocuted the Poliwrath, but then an Arcanine jumped at him, fangs blazing.

Candice sent out Froslass and blasted the Legendary Pokémon with Shadow Ball, then freeze a Primeape in place. "Guys, this may be the most intense battle we've had! Brace yourself!"

"It won't stop us!" Renji shouted, raising his sword. "Howl, Zabimaru!" He smashed it down on a Metagross, but Metagross was barely affected and just used Hyper Beam to attack him.

"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo shouted, ripping through the walkway underneath Shooter with the attack. Shooter quickly used a jet of flame and jumped onto another walkway above them, and ran upwards, shooting at them.

"Guys!" Ash shouted to Paul and Candice. "Give me all your Pokéballs! I'm going to Snag them!"

"Are you crazy?" Paul shouted. "You can't possibly Snag all of them! Even if we pooled all of our Pokéballs together, we wouldn't have enough to do that!"

"I got some Pokéballs on my way here," Ichigo shouted. "I thought we might be able to use them to Snag!" He pulled from his (bottomless thanks to Aeron) pocket a black Pokéball, but when he pressed the button, it converted to armor that covered his left arm. A Pokéball whirled into his hand. "Here goes!" He threw the Pokéball at the Arcanine, snagging him.

Ulquiorra drew his sword, still keeping one arm in his pocket, and began to fight back against the Pokémon. "It's a shame we can't use the Pokéballs they were in; then we wouldn't have to worry."

"We could hack the Pokéball's systems or something, right?" Rukia asked, freezing a Ledian solid.

"No, it's not that simple. The Pokéball's systems are too complicated for such a thing," Byakuya said, using Senbon Zakura to slice an Ursaring up a couple dozen times, knocking it out.

"My god, won't he come down and fight?" Kenpachi growled. "If this keeps up, I'll have to chase after him!" He began to run up the steps at Shooter, jumping over the massive gap that Ichigo made in a walkway. "GET BACK HERE, YOU FOOL, AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!"


Back on Iron Island…

"Oh, crap," Axel muttered. "Now the Mooks found us." Pretty much every single Mook on the island came and surrounded them.

"You're gonna go down now!" a Cipher Peon shouted. "We're about to show you who's boss!"

"Yeah, me," Aeron said. "I'm the boss."

"What? What makes you boss?" another Cipher Peon shouted. "You're not in a position to tell us what to do!"

"Oh, yes, I am," Aeron said. "Because the first thing I do in a normal day in my life is…"

Screw the Rules, LIKE A BOSS!
Summon a Dragon,
LIKE A BOSS!
Invent a Duel Disk,
LIKE A BOSS!
Jump out the Window,
LIKE A BOSS!
Rescue my Brother,
LIKE A BOSS!
Hang up the Phone,
LIKE A BOSS!
Impress my Rocks,
LIKE A BOSS!
Collect the God Cards,
LIKE A BOSS!
Fly a Jet, LIKE A BOSS!
Write a Check,
LIKE A BOSS!
Land in a Jet Pack,
LIKE A BOSS!
Be an A*bleep*hole,
LIKE A BOSS!

"Cool story, bro," Axel said. Then he turned to the Cipher Peons and said, "See who's boss now?"

"Well, you can't do any of those, so you're not a boss!" a Cipher Peon shouted. "And if you are a boss, show it!" Aeron pulled out a Pokéball and then sent a Pokémon out wordlessly. And what came out was a massive green serpentine dragon with yellow irises and black sclera, fins all over his body, and strange golden designs similar to chains between sets of fins. Know who it was?

Yep, it was Rayquaza. All the Cipher Peons were pretty much like "HOLY S*bleep*! O_o" "Any more proof necessary?" Aeron asked, grinning.

"B-b-but using Rayquaza is against the rules!" a Cipher Peon shouted.

"Screw the Rules, I'm LIKE A BOSS!" Aeron replied. "And by the way, that only applies at the Battle Tower."

"Y-y-you didn't invent a duel disk!" the Cipher Peon shouted. Aeron grabbed the Duel Disk on his Motorcycle, switched Duel Mode off, and held it up for them to see.

"W-w-well you don't have the God cards!" another guy shouted. Aeron replied by holding up "Polar God Sacred Emperor, Odin" up for them to see…as a Ghost Rare. And "Polar God Thor" and "Polar God Loki", too.

"But you didn't jump out a window, rescue your brother, or land with a jet pack!" a Mook shouted. (Need I define Mook? Okay, fine: Mook=Lackey/Goon/Minion/Grunt.)

"…" Aeron got an evil smirk on his face.


"…Why the h*bleep* do I have to do this?" Axel muttered, sitting around in a burning building.

"So I can prove I'm LIKE A BOSS," Aeron said before tackling Axel out of the building.

"D*bleep* YOU!" Axel shouted at him as they went flying out of a window, but Aeron safely landed with a jet pack.


"And now for the remaining ones," Aeron muttered. He grabbed his phone. "Hi, I'd like to rent a jet. Okay, thanks." He quickly wrote a check (and wrote LIKE A BOSS on it). Then he went off somewhere and came back flying a jet. A bunch of Geodudes were really impressed with his flying.

"See?" Aeron asked, proudly grinning. "I am LIKE A BOSS. =D"

The Cipher Peons all looked at one another. "ATTACK HIM!" they all shouted at each other.

"Rayquaza, use Draco Meteor!" Aeron shouted, causing Rayquaza to blast an orange bolt into the sky, which split into several meteors that smashed into the Mooks.

"Let's go while he holds them off," Axel said to Hanna, and they ran deeper into the cave. "Hey, do you think Riley'll be alright?"

"I think he can deal with the rest just fine," Hanna replied as they ran deeper into the cave.

Except then, at that point, they ran into some more Mooks. "Hey! Stop!" a Cipher Peon shouted. "You can't go this way!"

"Says who?" Axel asked.

"Says me with my Bisharp!" the Cipher Peon shouted, sending out the Pokémon. His comrades were surprised; Bisharp was from Unova, and none of them had seen one before. "And I'll use Alakazam, too!" the Cipher Peon shouted, tossing another Pokéball.

"Whatever," Axel said. "Pikachu, you get them."…(silence)… "…Pikachu?"

"Wheeze…Wheeze…Wheeze…" Pikachu ran up, gasping for breath.

"WHOA, WHAT THE CRAP HAPPENED TO YOU?" Axel shouted. "YOU LOOK LIKE YOU RAN A MARATHON! NO, MAKE THAT 10 IN SUCCESSION!"

"Huff…the Pokéathelon was way easier…than…huff…running after…huff…a motorcycle…" Pikachu fainted. Everyone stared for a long time at Pikachu, until Axel just sighed and used a Revive on Pikachu, causing him to jump up, good as new.

"Hmph! A mere Pikachu, against me?" Alakazam scoffed. "I will let you know, I can clear my mind and raise my power level to over 3000!" He immediately closed his eyes and eminated a pink aura, raising his power level.

Pikachu just responded by charging up Falcon Punch. "HaaaaAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Bisharp held up a Pokédex, while Alakazam just watched with a surprised expression. Then he turned to Bisharp and said, "Bisharp, what does the Pokédex say about his power level?"

"IT'S…1006," Bisharp replied, lowering the Pokédex.

"Wha…really?" Alakazam asked, not believing that a Pikachu would have a level of 1006, but rather happy within that he could crush the Pikachu.

"Yeah," Bisharp said. "Now go kick his sorry little behind, Alakazam!" He switched the Pokédex off.

"YAAA~AAAY!" Alakazam shouted. He charged towards Pikachu…

*insert beatdown sounds here*

"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!" Pikachu shouted, repeatedly Falcon Punching Alakazam's face. Bisharp, the Cipher Peons, and all of Axel's Pokémon stared in shock, utterly speechless.

"Hm…that doesn't seem quite right," Bisharp commented to himself. Suddenly, he noticed how he was holding the Pokédex. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, WAIT! ALAKAZAM!"

"AHOHOH!" Alakazam smashed down to the ground right in front of Bisharp. "WHAAAAAAAAAT?"

"I had the Pokédex upside down!" Bisharp shouted, lowering the Pokédex. "It's over 9000!"

Bisharp looked at a piece of paper briefly, then put it back down and then muttered, "…grah," crushing the Pokédex in the process.

"Why do you sound so bored?" Alakazam groaned.

"Because it was in my script," Bisharp replied flatly.

*insert record scratch here*

"Wha-YOU IDIOT!" Ninetales shouted. "YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO MENTION THE SCRIPT!"

"What is in the script, anyway?" Chikorita wondered, pulling out the script.

CUT!


Take two.

"I had the Pokédex upside down!" Bisharp shouted, lowering the Pokédex. "It's over 9000!"

"…grah," Bisharp muttered, crushing the Pokédex in the process.

"Why do you sound so bored?" Alakazam groaned.

"Because it's still not a threat," Bisharp replied smugly.

"BUT-"

"TO ME," Bisharp quickly added. "Besides, once we obtain the power that this sanctuary can grant us, we can just wish for immortality. And then," he asserted, assuming an EPIC SMUG FACE (LIKE A BOSS!), "no one will be able to stop us."

"Wait a minute," Pikachu said. "But you're evil!"

"And your point is?" Bisharp asked.

"Well, if you're evil, then it won't work for you!" Pikachu shouted. ("How does he know that?" Chikorita whispered to Latias, who shrugged.)

"Wh-wh-WHAT?" Bisharp said, shocked.

"OH, and I made both of us evil," Alakazam said. "Oh well, at least we had fun getting here, right, Bisharp?" Bisharp didn't reply, but instead began to clench his fist. "Bisharp? Remember all those fun times we had at the Battle Frontier?""Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? Bisharp? BishaAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Bisharp sent him flying out of the cave with one swift motion. He watched Alakazam fly out with an epic smug face. "…that's just cruel," Pikachu commented.

"Shut up," Bisharp snapped. "I get to do whatever I want."

"Falcon PUNCH!" Pikachu punched Bisharp in the face, smashing him into his trainer.

"Go on; Pikachu and co. can take care of these guys," Axel said.

"Right," Hanna said, running off. A Cipher Peon jumped at her, but she quickly sent out Gallade and sliced up his armor until he was in his underwear before running away. (NOTE: Th


At Snowpoint Ruins…

"Magmortar, use Solarbeam!" "Golduck, dodge it and hit him with Hydro Pump! And Garchomp, use Draco Meteor!"

Sam and Saturn were continuing their intense battle. Golduck blasted a jet of water from his mouth, but that was cut through by Magmortar's twin Solarbeams. Garchomp charged up an orange sphere of light and blasted it into the air, causing meteors to rain down on Magmortar, as Golduck dodged the Solarbeams. "Should we just quickly run past while they battle?" Ben asked.

"Yeah, that might be the best choice," Cynthia replied, and they ran past the two inside the cave.

Except, suddenly, there was a rumbling. SOMEONE apparently was in there. "Holy crap, what's that?" Ben asked.

A pattern of dots flashed in the darkness. And then, in all his glory, Regigigas lumbered out of the cave (LIKE A BOSS!), along with Regice, Regirock, and Registeel! "No way, Regigigas?"Cynthia shouted. "But how did all of them awaken?"

"Maybe Sam has a miasma that awakened all of them!" Ben shouted. "Whatever, we have to stop them! Go, Infernape! Torterra! Heatran!" Ben threw out three Pokéballs, bringing out three of his strongest Pokémon. "Heatran, use Magma Storm! Torterra, use Frenzy Blant! Infernape, head for Regigigas and use Close Combat!"

Torterra roared and stomped the ground, causing roots to shoot up and entangle Regirock. Heatran did the same motion, but magma blasted upwards instead, splashing across Regice and Registeel. The earth continued to break, causing more magma to shoot up. Meanwhile, Infernape smashed Regigigas with his arms and legs, dealing many hits. "Yes!" Ben shouted. "I can beat h-"

"?" Infernape's arms were suddenly caught by Regigigas. And then Regigigas's hands began to glow orange as he tightened his grip a lot, which really hurt.

"Holy crap! Crush Grip!" Ben shouted. "Infernape, hang in there!" Meanwhile, Regice attacked Torterra by blasting icy winds at him, and Registeel created a glowing silver sphere of light, which he blasted at Torterra. Regirock was using Earthquake to smash Heatran really hard.

"Wha-Regigigas?" Saturn shouted. "I tried and tried to wake it up, but it wakes up now?"

"Last time I checked, you needed the three Legendary Golems to do it," Sam said.

"Shut up!" Saturn shouted. "Magmortar, defeat those two Pokémon! Use HYPER BEAM!" Magmortar blasted TWIN Hyper Beams from his cannon at Sam's two Pokémon. Golduck used Protect to create an energy shield, and Garchomp just plain dodged it (LIKE A BOSS!).

"Garchomp, get him with Dragon Claw! And then, use Earthquake!" Sam shouted. Garchomp surged forward, claw glowing with violet energy, and slashed Magmortar with his claw. Before Magmortar could recover, Garchomp roared, sending massive seismic waves through the earth, smashing Magmortar, Golduck, Heatran, Regigigas, Regirock, Infernape, Torterra, Regice, and Registeel in the process. "Oops," Sam said.

"Well, Regigigas is wea-ZOH MAH GOD!" Ben shouted, running away as Regigigas began blasting twin Hyper Beams from each of his hands. The three Legendary Golems followed his lead, shooting out their own Hyper Beams at everyone. "This is really getting out of hand," Ben muttered.

"Crap!" Sam shouted. "Garchomp, use Dig!" Garchomp burrowed underground.

"Please let this work please let this work please let this work…Heatran! Use Explosion!" Ben shouted. (NOTE: I am not sure Heatran can know explosion.)

EARTH SHATTERING KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

You know what happened. Heatran exploded, blah blah blah. And it sent everyone flying to opposite sides of the cave. Magmortar and Golduck fainted in the process. "Magmortar, return!" Saturn shouted. "Go, Croba-"

"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS! GET SOMEONE ELSE TO F*bleep*IN' DO IT!" Sam shouted. As if on cue, Garchomp smashed into Saturn with Dig, sending Saturn flying out of the cave.

"O…k…" Cynthia said. "Okay, that cured most of our problems."

"But not all of them!" Ben shouted, matrix-style dodging a Hyper Beam (LIKE A BOSS!). "We still have to deal with Regigigas! Torterra, use Frenzy Plant! Infernape, use Blast Burn!" Roots sprang up from the ground, entangling Regigigas and his underlings. Then those roots were set fire to by a massive explosion. "Yeah!" Ben shouted. "That took care of eve-"

"You know Regigigas has Slow Start, right?" Cynthia interrupted.

"…s*bleep*," Ben muttered, as Regigigas busted out and charged forward, mowing down Torterra and Infernape. "Okay, everyone, return! Go, Jolteon!" Jolteon quickly came out, dodged a Hyper Beam, and unleashed a Thunderbolt, electrocuting Regigigas. He quickly dodged a Crush Grip before headbutting the Colossal Pokémon and unleashed another point blank blast of lightning. And then Jolteon quickly dodged Regigigas' Giga Impact, causing it to smash into Regice.

"You know what, screw this," Sam said. "I'll just solve everything the easy way!" He held up his Pokédex Ultra.

An image of a powerful being flared into life, howling at the moon. It's form wavered and dissolved into the kanji for ice, which was blazed straight onto Sam's Pokedex Ultra. Sam pulled it back, and then whirled his other hand up, which now had a sphere of pale blue energy blazing in it. Sam extended both hands outwards, and then swung them around, slamming the two together in an epic way.

"Come forth, my friend!" he shouted. "Ice Elemental Resurrection!" He pulled the two apart, enveloping himself in a blizzard.

Inside the blizzard, Sam fell down on all fours, and his body began to warp. It changed into a wolf's body, and the blizzard cleared to reveal…well…a wolf. He had fur as white as you could ever get, though it had a silvery sheen to it. Streaks of fur running down his spine, on the backs of his legs, on his belly, and along the top of his tail were an icy blue. He had a silvery-white headcrest bearing resemblance to part of a snowflake, and his irises were glowing a pale blue against his white irises and fur.

The wolf bounded down, landing on a platform with the kanji for ice emblazoned on it. He howled, and a storm of icicles shot up around him. "Lone Wolf Arcticryo!"

Regigigas and the three Golems halted. And then the Golems backed away, and Regigigas went to the back wall, ripping out a large chunk of rock. "Oh my god…" Cynthia whispered. "When did that get there?" For that rock that Regigigas just ripped out was actually blocking a passage-one that led to another chamber entirely!

"It's been there," Articryo replied, walking into the chamber. "This is the Temple of Ice."

The Temple of Ice was beautiful, but also a cold and monumental place. The entire marble floor and every intricately carved column was coated with ice, trapping the aetherium crystals inside. Two larger than life statues of Articryo stood on each side, appearing to howl at the massive, light blue crystal hanging above them as part of a strange chandelier. But what truly caught Articryo's attention was what appeared to be a knight-and at the same time, a wolf! What the heck is that? Articryo wondered. This is a sanctuary for ice, and thus Articryo. So what's that doing here? Unless…

Ben walked around the room, looking around at everything. "I was expecting something a bit less foreboding," he commented.

"It does have an icy feel, though," Cynthia commented, shivering. "But…now that we're here, what should we do?"

"You could start by surrendering!" they suddenly heard a female voice shout. Then a jet of water blasted forth towards them.

"LOOK OUT!" Ben shouted, tackling Cynthia and Articryo to the ground. The water jet smashed into a column with enough force to shatter it entirely. However, the water pulled back in a wave, surging towards them. All of them jumped over it, but a cascade crashed down on top of them.

In the doorway stood Luna, sword pointed at them. "Well, if it isn't those people who attacked our lab. What are you doing here?"

"Defending it from you, that's what!" Ben replied.

"Defend?" Luna sniffed. "Why would that be necessary? This altar has a guard already…no, four guards. And they all failed their mission."

Behind her, a Milotic, an Empoleon, a Sharpedo, a Poliwrath, and a Ludicolo were overwhelming Regigigas and the three Golems. "Oh my god, Regigigas!" Ben shouted. "He's getting owned!"

Articryo carefully sensed their reiatsu. Crap, they're all Shadow. I should've asked Axel to give his Snag Machine to me! "Guess Axel was right that you'd come here," he said. "Unfortunately, this is the end of the road for you; you won't be able to get past us."

"Come at me with everything you have, then!" Luna shouted, raising her sword and gathering water at the tip.


Cipher Admin Luna would like to battle (again)!

Luna blasted water at Articryo, while Articryo froze the water. Rushing forward, Luna slashed at her adversary several times, but Articryo just used ice to block all of them, LIKE A BOSS. "This is easy!" Sam shouted. "Can't you put up more of a fight?"

"Just keep up that attitude, and you won't see another morning!" Luna shouted, blasting more water at him in a wave. Articryo froze it, but then Luna suddenly appeared behind him and slashed him.

"Oni Giri!" Ben shouted, dealing three slashes at Luna, cutting right through her. Except… Ben noticed quickly. "CRAP! IT WAS A MIRAGE!" Luna immediately appeared behind him and kicked him into a pillar.

"Garchomp, use Dragon Claw! And Togekiss, use Aura Sphere" Cynthia shouted. Garchomp flew forward and slashed at Luna, but she blocked the blow. Togekiss (yes, she had one which I never mentioned) raised her wing, charged up a blue sphere of energy at its tip, and sent it hurtling at Luna. However, a jet of water blasted into the Aura Sphere, destroying it.

Articryo brought icicles down on Luna, but she jumped out of the way, smashing him into the wall. "Had enough yet?" she shouted.

"As if!" Articryo shouted, jumping at her and launching several blue flames, cold and burning at the same time. Luna dodged all of them, but then Articryo launched a blast of lightning at her, again icy cold, which Luna blocked by raising water several meters in front of her. Then she sent that water at Articryo while the icy electricity was still running through it, electrocuting him (although it wasn't too bad, since it was ice energy).

"Ushi Bari!" Ben shouted, rushing forth, but a veil of water surrounded Luna just as Ben appeared behind her. Several tiny holes appeared in the veil, but it was otherwise unharmed. Luna dropped the veil and jumped at him, slashing and causing a wave of water to blast Ben into the wall.

"Togekiss, Sky Attack!" Cynthia shouted. Togekiss began glowing with a white aura, which flowed out in a way that made her seem like her wings were growing. And then she rocked forth, white turning to red, the aura blasting anything in her path to bits.

Luna dodged it, but Togekiss flapped her wings quickly and whirled around. "This Togekiss is pretty good at using this move," Luna commented, jumping out of the way again. "It's a shame I don't have a Snag Ball or anything."

"I doubt Togekiss would enjoy that," Cynthia replied, holding up another Pokéball. "Garchomp, come back! Go, Lucario! Attack her with Bone Rush!" Lucario burst out of his Pokéball and didn't waste any time. He instantly created a blue bone in his paws and swung it over his head, let out a battle cry, and rushed at Luna. Luna used one swift motion and shattered the bone, but then Lucario jumped up above her and launched several Aura Spheres. Togetic did the same. Luna merely walked out of the way of both of them, causing all the Aura Spheres to strike ice mirrors and smash into the two Pokémon.

"Nigori Zake (Two Arm Strength Slash)!" Ben shouted, jumping at Luna, with his sword in his mouth and left hand held at the same angle, and the one in his right hand tilted at an angle. Luna held up her own sword to block the attack, but was totally not prepared for all three blades to land in the exact same spot, and even less prepared for the considerable weight of Shusui. She was sent flying to the edge of the cave. But Ben didn't stop attacking and jumped at her (LIKE A BOSS!), slashing and hacking with his three blades.

"It seems you're not too concerned about Wado Ichimonji losing its beauty in the heat of battle," Luna commented, ducking underneath said blade and blasting water at Ben.

"Hey, saving the world bears more gravity than a sword!" Ben replied, speed vaulting over the wave. (Everyone gaped at that.) "Although it would really suck losing Wado Ichimonji; it's a great sword!" He raised his arms and began to spin around, and a dragon-shaped aura suddenly surrounded him. "Tatsu Maki (Dragon Twister)!"

A mad whirlwind began to whip up around Ben, sucking in Luna and slashing her with razor sharp gales. Luna winced. "What is this?"

"Your doom!" Ben shouted, jumping at her and crossing his arms. "Oni…GIRI!" And he unleashed three massive slashes at Luna, which all hit. And killed the…MIRAGE? "NOT AGAIN!" Ben shouted before Luna kicked him into the wall. AGAIN.

Articryo attacked again, howling and blasting several beams of light which rapidly froze over. Luna just slid on the icy floor underneath them while they froze, then blasted a jet of water at Articryo. "Sub Zero Cannon!" Articryo shouted, blasting the aurora of light which froze almost instantaneously. But there was something bothering him: Sinnoh would be in even more danger than it already was in if he didn't win. But if he actually lost, just what would be at stake?


Back to Iron Island again…

Hanna dashed through the cave, wondering if she was headed the right way. All she knew was that a very powerful life song was playing from the direction in which she was going. I hope this is the right way…

Almost immediately, she burst into a vast room full of crystal-like iron, spiking up in every direction. Gems and steel studded the ground, and pillars with said materials embedded inside rose up to the ceiling like church spires. Up above in the dark ceiling, gems twinkled like stars in a night sky. "It's like a fairy tale cave," Hanna whispered to herself.

"It might be considered that," she suddenly heard. A teenage boy stepped out from behind one of the pillars. "But then, fairy tales all need the 'happily ever after' ending. And I can't say for certain that's the one you'll get. But let's get to introductions first. I'm Rocky, and as you've probably figured out, I'm a Cipher Admin."

Hanna narrowed her eyes. The boy was tall and had brown hair, and dressed in a bunch of gray and black clothes. "What's with Cipher these days? All the Admins I've seen look like they should be in high school."

"Two of us aren't," Rocky replied. "The rest of us were children when we were brought into Cipher."

"Cipher used kids for things?" Hanna wondered, not believing it.

"We weren't there for anything like operations," Rocky said. "Though we were trained to do those when we grew up. Our parents apparently wanted their kids to get into the act."

"But we defeated Cipher before you could do so," Hanna said. "Why did you become a Cipher Admin, though, if you were meant to be just another minion?"

"Because Cipher was in complete and utter turmoil after the last time we were stopped," Rocky replied. "We were considered the best qualified to do so, so we became Admins just like that. Now are you going to keep stalling, or can we begin the fight?"

Cipher Admin Rocky would like to battle!

Hanna raised her sword and wordlessly released Ateru no Uta. She then sent a blast of sound (which strangely rippled as it traveled through the air) at Rocky, which he dodged (yes, big logic hole there), allowing it to smash hard into the wall and crack it. Rocky thrust his hand at a crystal, which yanked itself out of the ground and hurled itself at Hanna. Staring at it for a few seconds, Hanna rushed forward and slashed the crystal in half, then immediately attacked Rocky.

Rocky jumped out of the way and called another crystal to his hand, which he tried to stab Hanna with, but Hanna slashed that too and sent another blast of sound at him. "You appear to want to kill me with music," Rocky commented as he dodged again, causing massive cracks to appear in another wall.

"Do you like the music?" Hanna asked smugly. Rocky responded by sending five more crystals flying at Hanna, and then more crumpled around his hands, forming guantlets. Hanna slashed all the crystals, but then Rocky attempted to punch her, but that was an unsuccessful attempt, because Hanna Fullbrought the ground between them, causing it to spike up and block Rocky's attack long enough for her to whirl around and counterattack with another blast of sound. Rocky jumped away, causing yet another wall to be destroyed.

Hanna whipped around and raised her sword, and it began to glow light blue, emitting pale blue light. "I think you'll like this song even better!" She began to unleash a continous stream of blasts, some slow but powerful, others quick and light. Rocky narrowed his eyes and began to run out of the way of the blasts as they crashed into a pillar, smashing it, and cracked several walls.

Next, Rocky pointed at the rubble from the pillar and sent all of it flying at Hanna. Hanna jumped out of the way, allowing the rubble to crash into a pillar and shatter it. Then Hanna Fullbrought a cluster of crystals, causing them to shoot out at Rocky, but Rocky used his own power to turn them around and send them flying back. Just jumping out of the way, Hanna slashed at Rocky again, but he sidestepped the attack and then thrust his hand out at the giant crystal. It began to shake, but otherwise did not move; apparently, it didn't listen to Rocky very well. Rocky sighed and just threw several punches at Hanna, shooting crystal out with each one, but Hanna just sidestepped each one.

"You know, I think you should have noticed by now," Rocky said. "Haven't you noticed how cracked the walls are?"

"What're you getting at?" Hanna wondered. Suddenly, she realized. "Oh my god, you didn't-"

Rocky threw up his hand, and before Hanna could even react, the entire cavern collapsed on them, causing thousands of rocks to plummet down. "I'll be safe with my power of rock," Rocky shouted over the crashing stones. "But what're you going to do about it?" Before Hanna could do anything about it, though, a rock smashed against the back of her skull, knocking her out.

To Be Continued


Random Bonus Story…XD

Myself, Axel Nightblazer…In a Nutshell! =D

The sun came up on a bright new day. And I, of course, was sleeping in. (My mood: -_-) It took me a really long time to get up, but not too long to have breakfast. Then I went over to the computer to check the reviews for the previous chapters of Shadows of the Demon.

"Funny as H*ll, great story so some have 2 elementals like Silver?" "Nice chapter... and I do love Yugioh too! I don't care, I love the power of duel monsters…Anyway, can't wait for the next and that's going to hurt for Ben being attack by SUPER CHARGE SHOOTING SONIC!" "2+2... XD I especially like the Cipher Admins these days. Luna, Gaea, the frosty dude... Don Panini..." (My mood: ^_^) Except then… "...Thanks, and update." (My mood: D:)

Hurrying to the Battle Tower with Daikenki, Ninetails, and Pikachu, I quickly met a trainer that actually plowed through 20 trainers already. I took him out quickly with Ninetails; he had Abomasnow, Sceptile, and Metagross, so it wasn't hard. (My mood: :D)

I jumped onto my motorcycle which actually floats (on which I can play card games) after lunch to head to the Mushroom Kingdom to visit Mario, but as I was on my way, some guy challenged me to a Children's Card game on Motorcycles. (My mood: D:) Here's how it ended:

Me: "By returning Nitro Warrior's ATK to 2,800, I activate his effect. By doing that, epic background music will play, your Labyrinth Wall will switch to attack mode, and Nitro Warrior will be able to attack that monster with Dynamite Impact, ALLOWING ME TO WIN THIS CHILDREN'S CARD GAME ON MOTORCYCLES! XD"

And I did win. Obviously.

Mario and co. weren't around when I arrived at Peach's castle, so I decided to fool around a bit while they weren't there. I grabbed blue and silver spray paint cans and sprayed on one of the walls, "AKSAL NITEBLAZR WUZ HEER" (My mood: lolface) While killing time, I started doing parkour stunts: rolls, backflips, wall spins, you get the picture. I launched myself out of a tree, and, just because I could, turned around and did a backwards roll, coming out in a moonwalk, LIKE A BOSS! (My mood: XD)

Running around in Bomb-omb Battlefield, I noticed a bunch of Goombas. I used my Zanpaku-to to take most of them out, and then tried to football tackle the last one. (My mood: =D…?) And guess what? I was holding a Bomb-omb. (My mood: O_o)

EARTH SHATTERING KABOOOOOOOOOOM!

I got up, hurting all over, but then I saw the last Goomba, and chucked him over the moon, LIKE A BOSS. But then I looked at another part of Bomb-omb Battlefield, and saw 9001 Goombas waiting there. (My mood: T_T)

It was late in the afternoon as I arrived at the Strike Witches' base (which is in ANOTHER DIMENSION entirely). But Mio was training Yoshika, Lynne, and Perrine, Shirley was modifying her Strikers, Sanya, Eila, Lucchini and Erica were sleeping, and Trude and Minna were going to war with paperwork. I looked for Rinna, but she apparently was not around at the time. So I just snatched two piles of paperwork from Minna's desk and removed them from existence. (My mood: LOL)

But as I was heading back to Eterna, suddenly, a Garganta opened up, and a Vasto Lorde came out! I had to battle him, but fortunately, he was nothing my awesome Shikai couldn't take care of. (My mood: =D…X_X) Man, though, I was REALLY tired at the time!

And then, at long last, I headed to bed, dropping in. It had been a big day. But then I looked up, and saw a full moon. Which, for some reason, looked like a lolface. (My mood: O_o/lolface)


And that was Axel Nightblazer (myself) in a nutshell! Happy birthday to me! Yay! =D (NOTE: All reviews at the section where I went to were real. Sorry, person who said "Thanks, and update", but I do NOT approve of people who ask me to update. Because then...well, look up "What NOT to say to LuigiGame2" on Youtube and you'll find out.)

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, because if you didn't, then I can't write…LIKE A BOSS.

And, just when you thought I stopped bugging you about this…(sucks in massive breath)

RREEEEEVIIIIEEEEEEEEWWW!~
