Dawn of the Chaos

Chapter 29: Fortress of Earth

-Dungeon 6: Fortress of Earth-

"This place?" Zelda asks after they reach the location of the Pure Pendant. Now they are standing in front of a fortress.

"Yes. I remember that Regigigas told me that the lost Dustorm Palace entrance is in the deepest area of this fortress." Link says.

"This fortress is scary…" Cathy says.

"Nah… Not scary as it looks, believe me." Jedi says.

"…" Winsol says nothing. She looks at the fortress with a strange look.

"Winsol? What's wrong?" Link asks.

"…The sky is crying…" Winsol says.

"Sky? Crying? The rain isn't pouring down now." Lumiere says.

"…No. I can hear a voice, a sad voice that filled with grief, sorrow, frustration, hatred and nightmare." Winsol says.

"Voice?" Everyone says and tries to listen. But they hear nothing.

"Maybe it's just a daydreaming, forget it." Scarley says.

"…" Winsol says nothing.

"Well, let's go. We need to solve the gxxxxxn puzzle in this fxxxxxg dungeon." Ordin says. Then everyone enters the sixth dungeon.

-Inside the dungeon-

"Not so hard, especially for the sixth dungeon. The only thing that we must do is just fill a sand into the room or drain the sand out of the room." Jedi says after they reach the room where a chest lies.

"Let's see what is in this chest." Link says and opens the chest. Inside the chest is…

"Hammer? Again?" Jedi says.

"Great. Now I can smash someone's face." Scarley says.

-Finally-

"Regigigas, are you here?" Link shouts after they enter the last room of the dungeon.

"Strange… It looks like no one is here." Zelda says.

"…The sky is crying." Winsol says.

"What? Again?" Ordin says.

"…No, the sky is very sad, very very sad." Winsol says. But then, everyone hears a loud noise.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

"What is that?!" Zelda says. Then a Pokemon appears in front of them. His body is as silver as an ivory moon. His eyes are as blue as a clear sea. He looks at everyone with an emotionless face, like the first time he looked at everyone at the Palace of Sky four years ago.

"No way!" Jedi says.

"That's Falcon!" Ordin says.

"But I thought that Lord Norval has killed him already?!" Scarley says.

"…" That Pokemon says nothing. But then, his body becomes faded. And it attacks everyone!

Sky Lord

Phantom Falcon the Lugia

"Falcon! Stop it! Don't attack us!" Link says.

"Link! It's useless! That's isn't Falcon! That's Phantom Falcon!" Zelda says.

"Phantom Falcon?" Link says.

"Yes, it is a kind of something. I can't explain it." Zelda says.

"Save your word. Now let's beat that gxxxxxn Lugia." Ordin says.

"But how?" Link asks.

"The Hammer! Throw it at his head to knock him down!" Zelda says.

"Got it!" Link says.

-After a fight-

Phantom Falcon looks at everyone with an emotionless face after he lost to everyone.

"So, who is he?" Link asks.

"Phantom Pokemon is a kind of…spirit of that Pokemon." Zelda says.

"So, this is Falcon's spirit?" Link asks.

"No, Phantom Pokemon can't fight." Zelda says.

"But then, why Phantom Falcon can attack us?" Link asks.

"I don't know." Zelda says. Then everyone looks at Phantom Falcon again. It's still looking at everyone with an emotionless face. But then, he turns his face into a face that filled with grief.

"… Listen to my story, this may be my last change." Phantom Falcon says.

"What?" Everyone says.

"…I don't want to live in this world anymore. Nothing left for me in this world. I will end my life. Now, in the time when you hear my word, I know that I had died already. This is my last message to anyone who are be able to defeat my illusion." Phantom Falcon says before he disappears.

"What?!" Link says.

"He end his life because he had nothing left?" Zelda says.

"…" Everyone becomes speechless.

"… Rest in peace, the great Hero who uses the power of wind." Link says.

"Link, let's go." Zelda says.

"…Yes." Link says. Then everyone enters the lost Dustorm Palace.

-In the Dustorm Palace-

"YOU ARE LATE, HERO." Regigigas says.

"Sorry, we have a little…never mind." Link says.

"SO, FOUR PURE PENDANTS ARE YOURS, ISN"T IT?" Regigigas asks.

"Well, yes." Link says.

"SO, IT'S TIME FOR MY SACRIFICE. I, REGIGIGAS, AM THE LAST KING OF THE DUSTORM KINGDOM AND AM THE LAST POKEMON IN THE DUSTORM KINGDOM'S ROYAL FAMILY. IT MEANS THAT AFTER I DIED, THE ROYAL FAMILY OF THE DUSTORM KINGDOM WILL COME TO THE END." Regigigas says.

"I am so sorry that the Dustorm Royal Family must come to the end." Link says.

"EVERYTHING MUST COME TO THE END. EVEN MY KINGDOM, I WAS THOUGH THAT MY KINGDOM IS THE STRONGEST KINGDOM IN THIS LAND. SO MY KINGDOM LACKED OF FIGHTING. WE DON'T DO ANYTHING BUT ENJOY OUR LIVING. BUT I AM WRONG. THE QUICKSAND DESTROYED MY PALACE." Regigigas says.

"…" Everyone becomes silent.

"NOW AFTER HEAR MY LAST WORD, ACCEPT THIS PENDANT OF DILIGENCE!" Regigigas says before he disappears. And a Pure Pendant appears in front of them.

"…" Everyone becomes speechless. Link picks up the Pure Pendant and the Heart Container.

"Link, we must hurry. We can't let anyone die more!" Zelda says.

"Yes!" Link says before everyone warps out of the dungeon.

"The earth accepts your existence. So please. Let the earth exist forever."

-Meanwhile-

"My lord, what happen?" Mewtwo asks after Lord Norval comes back to his place with an unhappy face.

"That Pokemon…. It can't be…" Lord Norval mumbles.

"Pokemon what?" Mewtwo asks.

"That Pokemon… How can she block my attack easily?" Lord Norval mumbles.

"Well, it looks like Link has found another powerful ally, isn't he?" Mewtwo asks.

"Nonsense! I am much stronger than they. I haven't shown my true power! So shut up!" Lord Norval roars.

"Geeh.." Mewtwo mumbles.

"Mewtwo, where will they go next?" Lord Norval asks.

"I have sent the next sage to get in their way already, don't worry." Mewtwo says.

"But they have found the new Heroine of Wind already. So, don't let them find the new Hero/ine of Snow or Earth again." Lord Norval says.

"My lord, I want to see the face of the new Heroine of Wind. So let me go too." Mewtwo says before he disappears.

"… That Lugia… impossible… It can't be…" Lord Norval mumbles to himself.

-Back to the Musketeer Bar-

"What?! Falcon said that he has nothing in his life anymore. So he decided to die?!" Aurus asks after Link and his friends tell him, Darmour and the Sword of Justice about what has happened.

"Yes." Zelda says.

"…He has a major depression, isn't he?" Darmour asks.

"But at least, the Hero of Earth is by his side on the heaven now." Link says.

"…" Everyone becomes silent.

"…Lumiere, where to go next?" Link asks.

"Two Pure Pendants remain. Since we have no good news from the Venturnome Kingdom, the last kingdom in this Land of Light that we haven't visited yet is the Snowlost Kingdom that located at the northern region of the Lanayru Province." Lumiere says.

"Snowlost?" Scarley says and looks at Ordin.

"Ordin, I remember that there's a huge snow mountain near our school, isn't it? If I wasn't wrong, that mountain's name is Mt. Snowlost." Scarley asks.

"Yes. But since there's always a brutal snowstorm blows at the mountain since a thousand years ago. And it looks like that it will continue blowing for eternity. So no one ever goes to that mountain." Ordin says.

"But hey! We must try!" Jedi says.

"But Jedi there's no town, village or city located in that area. So we will have a hard time to find the shelter…" Ordin says.

"So, why don't we rest at the Frostdrop Boarding School instead?" Jedi asks.

"Oh god… I don't want to go back into that school again. I broke the dormitory law. So if I get back… I am sure that I will get punished." Ordin says.

"But if we explain to the teacher about the situation, I m sure that s/he will forgive you." Lumiere says.

"…I don't think so." Scarley says.

"Why?" Lumiere asks. Then Scarley turns his attention to Ordin.

"Ordin, is… he… still work there?" Scarley asks.

"Yes. That fxxxxxg teacher." Ordin says.

"So, it will be very hard for him to forgive Ordin." Scarley says.

"Why?" Jedi asks.

""He" whom I was talking about is a teacher in the Frostdrop Boarding School. He is a very cruel teacher. He never forgives any student. Most students hate him." Ordin says.

"…But if the principal of the school forgives you, you will have no worry about him." Zelda says.

"That's true." Ordin says.

"So, let's go. Two more Pure Pendants so we will be able to end this disaster." Link says before everyone runs out of the Musketeer Bar.

-Somewhere in this world-

"…"

"…"

"So, that Haxorus and the friends will come here, the Snowlost region, soon. It's a good chance for me to kill them! Especially that shiny Haxorus!" A mysterious Pokemon says with a creepy voice.

To Be Continue…

Side Story VI:

"Look, Florentine. The stars are beautiful, aren't they?"

"…There's a tradition in my village. We believe that wishes on stars come true."

"Oh, is that so? In that case we'd better get wishing, don't you think?"

"I don't need to wish anymore."

"Mmm?"

"I already got my wish. Now…I have everything I need right here."

"Florentine… Aren't you cold?"

"Not at all. I'm very warm… Falcon, can we stay like this? Just a little longer?"
