Chia: GROAN…is the whole Galactic madness going to end?

This is it! The end chapter to the Galactic saga! We come up on some pretty epic stuff! Took me quite a long time to write!

Chia: …half the time between now and previous update, you were eating ramen and watching old cartoons.

Hey I was working on my NaNoWriMo writing project too!

Chia: How many words do you need by today?

6,000.

Chia: And you're at?

1,500….. *sits in the depression corner*

Chia: *smirks* Alright folks, we're going to be here awhile. You guys go on. Read, review and enjoy yourselves away.

Keith soared through the air, zapdos-Kate by his side. They continued flying downward, getting closer to the exit. There was a white portal that seemed to be the way out! Perfect! Just in time! Cause the pressure was getting worse. Keith's angel senses were now activating, even when Kate was doing ok. They were trying to warn him of the demon pokemon that would hunt him down.

"GARRRRROOOOOUUUUUUU!"

A shadow zoomed by. The spiraling clouds at the bottom picked up speed, reversing their spin, and the color of the sky turned black & dark purple.

SLAM!

Keith was smacked on his side, sent crashing into one of the floating rocks nearby. Kate screeched, panicking. Keith groaned, feeling pain erupt from all over. Man that was a massive hit…

"GARRRROUUUUU!"

And so it came. Above Kate and Keith descended the demon pokemon, Giratina. Its eyes were a raging red, glowing fiercely at them both. Blood dripped from its mouth; Cyrus' blood. Keith knew what it wanted. It'd first try to kill the angel enemy, aka him, and then focus solely on Kate.

Keith got off from the rock, shook his wings and launched himself back into the air. As he flew towards Giratina, Keith formed an angel energy ball within his palms.

"KATE! RUN!" Keith yelled.

Kate nodded and started to fly out of the way. Keith hurled the sphere at Giratina, doing some damage. The angel threw out attacks with only a little amount actually hitting this monstrous pokemon. Keith's fast reflexes preventing any dragon claws or tail slams. Giratina roared and sent out an ominous wind. Keith braced for it, enduring the move with some skills. But what he didn't expect was that Giratina vanished.

"What the…" Keith gulped.

It wasn't completely gone. Just using its signature move, shadow force. Giratina slunk into the shadows and would pop out at any random moment….

KAPOW!

Keith cried out as Giratina attacked him all of a sudden. The angel sustained a ton of damage from that single move. And now Giratina was using the move again! And again! And AGAIN! Keith went sent into an oblivion of pain and torment from this shadow move. On the last strike, the redhead was sent crashing into the ground.

Kate screeched, horrified. Keith heard her and desperately tried to get up. He couldn't. His limbs were worn out, sore and unable to fight. Keith struggled to even get on all fours. He trembled, losing control of his body. Even worse, one of his wings was broken. An arm was bleeding heavily while a leg was twisted in a funny position. Scrapes and bruises covered Keith.

"Kate…" Keith whispered, his heart torn.

He was unable to protect her. Keith looked above him to see Kate was now fighting Giratina. She flew around, launching electric attacks at the demon. What a trooper. That was his girl fighting up there. At first, she seemed to get a handle on things. Atta girl Kate! Keith would cheer if his strength wasn't drained. Made him proud to see her fight. Worried a little but proud.

KAPOW!

A thunderbolt struck Giratina, temporarily paralyzing it. Now was the chance to finish it off and get the heck out of here!

…hold on. Something wasn't right. Kate was frozen in the air. Her eyes were wide. Suddenly, her body broke out into violent spasms. Kate shut her eyes and screeched in agony. Keith watched her yellow fade into a light peach. The wings shrank, plumage disappearing. Arms, with five digits on each hand. Her legs shrank too and turned back into skin & feet. Kate's body developed into familiar curves. The hair went back to its light brown and hung down her shoulders. Her face and beak melted, shifting back into the face Keith knew and loved. Within a minute, Kate had returned to her human form.

This was both good and bad news. Good because she wouldn't be a bird pokemon anymore. Bad? She had fainted from the intense transformation and was now falling through the air.

"KATE!" Keith screamed.

Giratina recovered from the shock and saw Kate fall. It immediately started to dive after. Keith tried again to stand but failed, as if his body were weighed down.

"Damn it! What do I do?" Keith's mind raced, heart pounding from worry. "I have to save her! I've got to! I can't let her die! KATE!"

"Kyuuuuuunnnn!"

Appearing in a flash was Mesperitt. With it, Uxie and Azelf. There were pink, blue and yellow glows surrounding them. Keith knew what to do. It was forbidden for angels to do this unless under severe conditions. But Keith had a feeling this qualified.

"Summoning Magic!" Keith called out. "I call out the powerful energy of Kirana's Blessing!"

The glows surrounding the pokemon grew brighter. As the pokemon closed their eyes (minus Uxies, who had its closed prior), their glows transferred into Keith. Keith absorbed the energy and let it flow freely through him. He started to heal from the injuries, the wing becoming unbroken. Keith's angel attire changed, going into a silver color with a rainbow sheen. An aura of rainbow surrounded Keith. There was a pink halo replacing the laurels, the wings were a light blue color and his hands held a yellow angelic staff. Keith felt light coarse through his entire being; warm and filled with a strong energy that revitalized him. This was a power almost no angel could ever achieve. This was the power of Kirana's Blessing.

Keith bounced back up and took off. He cast a ray of rainbow light at Giratina, causing super effective damage! Giratina was stunned in place, fighting off the light. Keith folded his wings, gaining extra speed. He opened his arms and gently caught Kate within them.

"K…Keith…" Kate's eyes were halfway open.

The angel's heart was full of emotion for this weakened girl. It gave him extra strength to push on. Keith set her down on a rock, with the lake pokemon watching her. He then charged off to Giratina, who was ready for battle. The demon pokemon vanished back into the shadows. Keith waved his staff, casting a wave of rainbow light through the area. The light pulled Giratina from hiding, making the pokemon scream in anguish. Keith whipped another beam of light to weaken the pokemon. Giratina crashed down onto one of the rocks far down below.

Now it was time to finish things up. Keith closed his eyes and pressed his hands together, in a praying position. A circle of light emerged behind him, with symbols from the ancient language of light and angels. Under Giratina, the same circle appeared. Keith focused on the concentration of the energy, sending it towards Giratina. The angel broke his hands apart, stretching his arms out wide. He started to glow like a rainbow as did Giratina.

"Ancient power of angels and light, I summon thee. Strip away the powers the demon of distorted darkness holds. Imprison him with the sacred power of rainbow energy."

Shackles made of rainbow light tied down Giratina, who tried to struggle. A dark orb of sorts rose from within Giratina's body. The orb vanished into thin air, causing the demon to collapse unconscious. Rainbow light flickered and faded, leaving long-forgotten angel signs on its forehead.

Keith flew back down to the rock where he left Kate. With his job done, the power of Kirana's Blessing left him. He shifted into his human guise. Exhausted, Keith fell to his knees and gulped down deep breaths of air. He had done it. Keith managed to defeat the demon pokemon, strip its powers and locked him up once more in this world. Giratina would never harm anyone ever again.

"Kyuuuun."

The three pokemon used psychic to lift Kate into Keith's arms. Keith looked up at them, a smile on his face.

"Thank you. For everything." He bowed his head.

"Kyun."

Mesperitt circled Keith three times before giving him a bow. That was how mesperitt gave blessings. Being the emotion pokemon, it must've known Keith, an angel, had feelings for Kate, a human. And despite it being against angel code, Mesperitt had given him a blessing. It wished Keith and Kate full happiness.

With that, Mesperitt and the other two pokemon flew off. They went through a white portal at the very end of the Distortion World. Keith stood up, staring at the exit. With Kate in his arms, he used his last strength to run and hurl themselves into the portal home.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

"Keith? Hey Keith? Wake up!"

Seemed like an eternity that Keith spent sleeping. He opened his eyes to see Rhythmi and Issac standing over him. Keith found he was in his room back at the Union.

"What up guys?" Keith yawned.

"You've been out cold for hours! That's what!" Rhythmi replied. "You scared everyone to death!"

"Wendy and Sven saw you jump into the portal after Kate. They tried to fix the distortions coming from said vortex but nothing worked. About an hour or so after you disappeared, the vortex stopped. The lake pokemon from Sinnoh shot out and closed it. Then you two fell out of the sky and into the Tree of Harmony here." Issac explained.

No wonder Keith's head was throbbing. The redhead saw Kate sleeping in her own bed, peaceful and relaxed. Thank arceus she was alright.

"I've got stuff to do. Being an operator and all that. Take it easy, Keith." Rhythmi got up and left the room.

"I see Kate reverted back." Issac spoke up.

"Yep. After awhile. What was that all about?" Keith asked.

"I managed to get a blood sample while she slept…" Issac started.

Keith shot him a weird look. Issac gulped, looking nervous.

"I-I had to! I didn't want her in a panic!" Issac stammered.

True…Kate wasn't one for needles. Keith hated to see her so upset.

"Good point. Go on." Keith sighed, allowing it.

"The electric cells haven't just tripled. There's five times the amount from before! And the sudden growth has put pressure on Kate, causing her cells and the chemical to mutate faster. Not to mention the pain she's probably under." Issac relayed the information.

"So is that what causes the transformation?" Keith asked.

"It seems that when placed under extreme stress, the DNA triggers. By chance, it was zapdos. Next time she's stressed? It could be anything." Issac replied.

"Even the mystery DNA?" Keith questioned, hesitant.

"Actually, no. The mystery DNA is deep within Kate and won't come out for a long time. But I have been tracking it. It's mutating strangely and is linked to that chemical. If I can crack the chemicals coding, maybe I can unlock the DNA's secret." Issac continued. "Thankfully, I have two samples of blood from Kate now. The chemical hasn't changed; just the things its affecting. So I'll use the first sample to study the chemical, which I now name K.X.11 for the moment, and the second to track Kate's progression."

"Anything else I should know?" Keith asked.

"Kate's closer to the dangerous levels so keep an eye on her. She'll need to release more electricity now. And like I said, don't get her too stressed out or the transformation will trigger. If it does, just calm her down." Issac instructed.

"Got it." Keith nodded. "One more thing. Why name the chemical X.11?"

"X is used in science and math for the unknown value. And 11 because its Kate's top ranger number. It's also been 11 years since this chemical was first created, assuming, and it took this long to get data on it." Issac replied.

"Makes as much sense anything else these days." Keith shrugged.

Issac got up. "Get some rest. The Union's only going to get busier from here on out."

The mushroom haired genius left. Keith was alone in the room. Alone with the dozing girl in the next bed. Kate was so beautiful when she slept. What a gal. If he wasn't so worn out, the redhead would go over and kiss her on the forehead. Maybe hold her in his arms, letting her rest there. But instead Keith smiled and watched her for the longest of times.

RING RING RING!

Keith fell over anime style, shocked from the sudden ringing of his cell phone. He groaned, seeing the caller ID. But having no choice, Keith accepted the call.

"Hey Gabe." Keith said, dreading what may come next.

"Gabriel. And I've called to congratulate you."

Huh?

"You did fine work protecting Kate, saving Almia from distorted destruction and even locked up Giratina permanently. You've even managed to use the goddess' blessing power, something unused in decades if not centuries. Goddess Kirana has given us a rainbow which has shined since your success." Gabriel informed.

In the angel world, a rainbow meant the goddess was happy and all was well. She must've been pleased with Keith's results.

"But I do warn you that your assignment is far from over. There's still some major threats up ahead. Things will only get harder from this point on." Gabriel warned.

"That's perfectly fine." Keith smirked. "I love a good challenge."

"Don't get cocky." Gabriel sighed, irritated. "You're lucky I let you slide on paperwork for this success. If I hadn't, you'd be filing reports all night."

"Ack…" Keith sweatdropped. "Th-thanks sir…"

"I must go. There's a meeting. Oh and Keith? I do have one last surprise for you. Keep a look out in the near future." Gabriel said.

Before Keith could ask, the boss hung up. Keith flipped off his phone and set it aside. Surprise, huh? What could it be? Gabe was never one for surprises…at least pleasant ones. Oh well. At least the redhead got out of paperwork for once. And he did a good job that was recognized by the goddess herself. How cool was that?

Keith ducked under the covers in bed. Looking at Kate one last time, he drifted off to sleep.

(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)(-)

AND THUS THE GALACTIC SAGA WAS OVER! Wow. Kinda cool how it played out on the 50th chapter. One team down, two to go! Which one, though, shall strike Almia next? Dim Sun and their well known motives? Or Rocket with their plans unknown to us? Well the next chapter isn't a long wait! So hold onto your hats!...if you have them.

Chia: One more thing.

Yeah?

Chia: NaNoWriMo project.
