Keldeo opened his eyes, but all he could see was darkness.
"Wha-what? What just-? Where am I?" Keldeo asked aloud.
"The beast calls your name, but you do not answer."
"AHHH!" Keldeo shouted with a jump, "Who's there?"
"You fear the truth. You fear truth's salvation."
"Fear the truth? I don't fear the truth!"
"Yes you do, don't you?"
"I. . ." Keldeo looked down in shame, "Alright, fine. I was a little afraid. Afraid of having to deal with a villain so evil."
"It is your time, Keldeo the Critic."
Keldeo looked up inquisitively, "My time? what do you mean?"
"God has come to reap the sinners. Step into the light and cleanse yourself."
"Reap the sinners? What are you talking about? What kind of nonsense are you giving me?"
"Cleanse yourself from what you have seen."
"Cleanse myself? How?"
"There is still time."
"Time to do what?"
"Escape."
"Escape?" Keldeo repeated slowly, but then frowned, "Wait a minute. . . I know you. . . you were that entity that appeared to Officer Soundwave during his Rage Review of The Rise of Spike the Dragon by MasterBrony Forever on FimFictionNet!"
"Yes, and I got him to quit the review on Chapter 13 when he realized that the fanfic was in reality the holy bible of Spike the Dragon. The searing, flaming heat of a fanfic so insane, so convoluted, so contrived threatened to consume him. So, I set him free, just as I shall set you free from this fanfic. This fanfic, which contains a villain so ludicrously evil and violence and gore so terrible that it shatters the very mind of one who reads it, will consume you. And so, I provide you a means of escape."
A ball of light appeared in the darkness. It appeared to be some kind of aperture.
"But, it comes with a price."
"A price?" Keldeo echoed curiously.
"Your soul."
The light increased in brightness.
"Your dignity."
The light got brighter.
"Your being."
The light got brighter still.
Keldeo squinted his eyes against the light. He thought hard as he looked at the warm and inviting light.
"I see. . ." Keldeo said, "You want me to give up. To end the review right here."
"Yes."
"NEVER!" Keldeo suddenly shouted. He then transformed into his Resolute Form and nodded determinedly, "You took advantage of Officer Soundwave's frustration, and over-blew the circumstances! You fed off of his anger and disgust, and then made him quit, allowing you feed even more over his shame and desperation. You made it look like you were saving him, but in reality, it was you who took away his soul, his dignity, and his being!"
Keldeo turned away and chuckled, "Heh-heh, in a metaphorical way that is. Not really, of course. Heh-heh."
Keldeo then turned back to the light, returning to his facial expression of anger, "By giving up on that review, he lost. Then Kamikakushi took over, and you cut him down too! And here you are, trying to do the same thing to me! Well nice try, you demon! But I am a Sword of Justice! And a Sword of Justice only yields when the fight is over! I'll never quit! You hear me? NEVER!"
The ball of light suddenly erupted into a shower of flames. Fires burned all around Keldeo. The Sword of Justice used Hydro Pump from his forehooves to but the fires around him out.
Out of the fire rose the dark figure of Pinkamena.
Keldeo smirked and said, "Oh yeah, and in my opinion, The Rise of Spike the Dragon isn't that bad. At the very least its been getting better. In fact, I think I'll make an Editorial on how it's not as bad as people say it in the near future. So thanks for the inspiration. Goodbye!"
Keldeo powered up his Secret Sword, and with one might blow, he slashed at the dark figure before him.
The figure screamed, and exploded in a burst of light.
