Book: 1/4

Introduction: Arc 0; Origins and revelations

"The singe of fire rewrites humanity, for "they" have turned the world in on itself…" Team Rocket Nation, an organization that originally would defend the world from devastation as well as pave the road for POKEMON and people to coexist with each other free of war and discord. Times have changed, currently Team Rocket are known as the ones who control and oppress anything that may draw breath in this tormented overworld. Within The Agoria Region, a place called Hallow Town or "Sector 66", is ground zero. Currently, it is being viciously torn apart by the hand of Team Rocket's heir to the supreme throne, Prince Adonis Nova. Agoria is made up of eight major nations as well as many small villages and societies. Hallow town where team rocket was founded, was once a prideful home of fearless heroes, now it has become a desolate breeding ground for the most foul spirits of cold death and suffering. Surrounded by the eerie acres that harbor only the lost, dying, or dead. Most weary travelers stay away unless they are confident enough in their abilities and self worthiness.

Prince Adonis and his Alpha team of elite officials are the top tier finest warriors and pokemon trainers Team Rocket has to offer handpicked by King Xalis himself. Team Rocket has personally ensured that any town within its grasp has an absolute zero chance at prosperity, thus creating the darkness, in which the living fear the most. Armed with the most modern, cutting edge gear and Pokemon partners they have trained since childhood, Prince Adonis's Alpha Team was nearly unstoppable.

The prince proudly led his team with the wretched demonic blade passed through his royal family for generations, delivering pure horror with every swing. It is rumored that the blade was carefully crafted by the deity trio AZELF, UXIE, and MESPRIT under the order of ARCEUS the creator, at the beginning of time. That is until GIRATINA the dark overlord, slipped into Outer Haven undetected and stole the blade from Arceus, possessing it with surges of menacing wretchedness. Long ago, the king of Origin, Lord Xiro entered the Distortion Realm using a unique, hereditary form of magic. This ability he possessed was a technique unknown to anyone else in the world and still to this day holds great mystery in its origin. Using it, he overpowered the Dark One and sealed the cancerous portal with the Phantom Blade, severing the world from its very ties to the foul, deathly dimension.

Because of Lord Xiro, only the dead may cross over the river to Distortion World, just as nature intended. The Phantom Blade however, comes with an ancient devilish contract you must sign in your own blood, in order to wield it's grim, sinister powers. Only the elite may survive the contract, for one of it's requirements is for the blade to deem your spirit worthy. In the unfortunate situation it doesn't, the one who attempted the contract is syphoned of their very soul by the dark one Giratina. First discovered by Lord Xiro Nova, the founder of Team Rocket and father to Eldridge, the contract has been passed along from father to son through each generation of kings.

King Xalis is known to most people around the world as "The Demon king" or "Tyrant King", a dictator-type leader who is rumored to be the most powerful being on the planet, Allied with the most horrifying pokemon, weapons and technology this realm has ever known. However, his father, Eldridge The Liberator, was not cut from the same cloth. He was a kind sage and a legendary hero.

Though he was a compassionate leader, he possessed the knowledge and power to devastate entire armies of pokemon and warriors by himself with ease. Power is not something he is known to flaunt or use irresponsibly. He often spoke of "balance" and "Karmic return", throughout his teachings. Truly enlightened, some believe Eldridge spoke to gods and even touched ARCEUS The Cosmic Creator while passing through the Nexus of the universe, upon the back of RAYQUAZA. A man who reaches the highly renowned level of "Master", is one worthy of the honorable title "Sage".

Eldridge was famously known around the globe and highly respected by the people, rather than being feared. Like his father, he genuinely influenced and raised a generation with his own two hands. Once his son Xalis was ready to take the throne, he knew this was the beginning of the end. The Liberator has since then retired and is now helping in any way he can as a POKEMON researcher, and Master to young trainers.

After the falling out between Eldridge and his son, an agreement was made with Team Rocket, which stated that they would not meddle in his affairs nor disregard his accomplishments and he would do the same in return. From this day forward the hero Eldridge could do nothing but watch as his son terrorized the Agoria Region and its people, as he honored the treaty that would bind him within fateful terror and painful discord.

Eldridge would always deeply care for his son, but could never honor his methods. Though Xalis cared little for his father's approval, he would always respect his mentorship and power. To Xalis, Eldridge was a promising sage and a legendary POKEMON master, but a sympathetic and foolish King. Xalis did not believe that kindness or love was beneficial to the living. His intellect made up for his lack of compassion, for he was a child genius and prodigy.

Eldridge did his best to mold his son, however Xalis believed no one could teach him more than he could already figure out on his own. Arrogance and cruelty plagues King Xalis and reflects itself unto the fate of humanity. "There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures." - Eldridge "The Liberator" Though it has been rumored that a formidable resistance of superior heroes called, "The Light" has formed somewhere in this town. Its leaders are said to be extraordinarily powerful, with goals to protect the innocent and purify Agoria back to its former glory. Most importantly they fully guaranteed the world they would resurrect the former morals and mottos of Team Rocket, back during the rule of King Eldridge - The Liberator.

Master Eldridge was most famously known by the people, for protecting all of Agoria from GROUDON, God of land and KYOGRE, God of seas, alongside the ancient Dragon Clan who called upon the divine RAYQUAZA, god of skies, from the great peak of Sky Pillar Island. This was before the "Cold Era" had begun. Currently Eldridge's son King Xalis Nova rules not only the Team Rocket scourge, but the entire Agoria Region, with his legion of pokemon and soldiers who deliberately induce genocide. The Team Rocket kingdom is somewhere on a remote industrial island where only members of the guild and their families live, along with them reside the mysterious elder community of the ancient order, Team Rocket Citadel (TRC), who are assumed to be pulling the strings from behind the King's devilish curtain.

*Explosion* *Crackle*

-Arc 1- Demons among us

Hallow Town; Sector 66, 23rd of Season Harvest 1879: The Cold Era…

Cinder and ash blankets the town, as it is met with complete and utter disarray. Men, women, children, and pokemon violently die like lambs to the slaughter, the most fortunate ones do at least. All that can be heard are explosions, caused by battling POKEMON releasing their monstrous attacks upon this once peaceful town. The desperate cries and final screams of dying victims drift through the heavily smokey and debris-filled air along with the smell of burning flesh and fear. Murdering, torturing, and defiling anything within their grasp, this village will fall helplessly to their ambush. Bands of rocket elites, shattering the innocence of children while festering darkness feeds on the blood and tears of everything that would dare obstruct the agenda of Team Rocket. Needless to say, this place has been quickly turned into Hell. "Citizens of Sector 66, death will continue to stain your village until every member of the resistance group known as "The Light" submits to our will!" The Rocket's broadcasted.

"Do not needlessly waste your life for the likes of them, bring us their heads, and their hearts," adding on, "compliance will be rewarded with the privilege of keeping your own," They exclaimed loudly, their voices booming throughout the village.

Prince Adonis Nova, the wretchedly powerful son of King Xalis and grandson to Eldridge The Liberator. Only 18 years of age, he is the heir to the supreme throne, next in line to rule the group of tyrants. He has been personally trained, and mentored by his father Xalis, since he was old enough to comprehend death, strategy and domination. With the Phantom Blade, DOUBLADE in his hands and his chosen partner NINJASK by his side, Adonis is an almost unstoppable Pokemon warrior. Recognized by most as the fastest being alive, he and his partner Ninjask have breached speeds matching up to mach 5 or beyond in combat. Basically mastering teleportation a few years later, he was only 10 years of age when he evolved his HONEDGE into Doublade, which was only 3 years after receiving the Phantom Blade from his father. Usually to evolve the Blade, you must deliberately train with it for at least 15 years. Xalis made sure to pass on and instill onto his son every dark motive and intention he had ever carried along with him.

*Explosion* *Crackle*

As the onslaught continues, the people of Hallow town and members of "The Light", band together and push back the opposing force who threaten their home and loved ones. Raging calamity claims many lives on both sides of the battle field. The sounds of crying tortured victims can be heard throughout the carnage, the screams of pain and wrenching agony like nails to a chalkboard. "Everyone! Hold your ground! Do NOT let them advance!" The town is now in full scale war, the clanging of steel and bolts of rending energy barrelling throughout along with the clash of bone and sinew. Warriors and their pokemon fight until death do them part. So many casualties, only for the extermination of one group that no one with a steady hand and pride in their heart would willingly hand over to the likes of the bastard squad, Team Rocket. After all, these people they were fighting for were not ordinary people, they were heroes who have protected and saved the lives of many others before today.

*Crash!* "Desmond, We don't have much time left!" Ava says to her husband cradling her new born baby. Desmond and his wife Ava are both co-founders and leaders of "The Light", true heroes known throughout Agoria as "Father Time" and "Mother Nature". They earned these titles candidly, Desmond's companion Salamence being so swift and in sync with it's master, made it seem like time itself stood still to their opponents. Ava was known as "Mother Nature" because of her loyal companion Venusaur's masterful abilities to restore itself and its allies with an almost infinite vitality from surrounding nature energies. Needless to say, it almost seemed as if the Venusaur by her side had an unlimited reserve of health and stamina, making Desmond and Ava the perfect fighting pair. Unfortunately, they are the main ones that Team Rocket are after. As they hide in their home to try and preserve the fresh faced new life they had just earlier today given birth to, they fear the end draws closer. "Ava…" Desmond wraps his arms around his family. He looks at his wife and says, "Despite giving birth only hours ago to our son, you look just as beautiful as the day we met." Tears flood her eyes as she clutches her son tighter, "This might be the only time we get to share words with you my son... and for all it's worth, your mother and I want you to know how terribly sorry we are for bringing you into the world under such turmoil." Tears fall as heavy as pouring rain from Desmond's eyes, though his smile is as bright as sunshine in what he knows for sure are their final moments together as a family.

*Crash!* The house shakes and dust falls from the ceiling. "We love you…. Aiden." Ava kisses her baby on his forehead. *CRASH!* The walls of their home suddenly shatter apart with a heavy hyper beam following through to the other end, exposing the family. "Go Salamence! Use Protect!" Desmond summons his dragonic companion to protect his family from the oncoming attacks. Desmond then leaps onto the back of his Salamence and returns fire. "Noivern! Hypno! Galvantula! Join me, my friends!" Desmond yells from the back of Salamence as he summons his partners to aid him in this battle. *Crash!* *Boom!* Three Team Rocket Alpha Squad members face Desmond as Ava and baby Aiden take cover in what's left of their home. "This isn't over! Sync with me my friends! We will not allow you all to terrorize this place any longer! Hyaaaaaahhhh!" Desmond says aloud as they continue to fight off the forces of Alpha Squad. Hypno rides behind Desmond on the back of Salamence with its hand on his shoulder, activating Desmond's Psychic link abilities. This ability allows Desmond to communicate with his Pokemon team via psychic link as well as enabling him to see through the eyes of his Pokemon and vice versa. Abilities of this kind are rare but mastering them would certainly give the user an edge on any opponent during battle. "Here we go! Feel my energies! I'll protect those who are precious to me with every ounce of my being! I'll fight for my loved ones with every fiber of my very essence! You will taste the fires of our spirit! We will not let you advance, this is the end of the line for you all! Release them from this world! Dragon! Pulse!" Desmond shouts heroically with his words echoing across the battlefield as Noivern and Salamence unleash a fused beam of massive destruction, successfully vaporizing two of the Alpha Squad members and their Pokemon partners. "Now, Galvantula! Electroweb!" Desmond says as his Galvantula spins a massive web in seconds and launches it towards another Alpha Squad member who rode on the back of his Tyranitar. *Catch!* *Wrap* *Wrap* Galvantula successfully ties the Alpha Squad member to his Tyranitar as quick as lightning using its electrified webbing.

"Gahh! What the hell!?" The Alpha Squad member yelled. "Now we have you! Galvantula, finish him off with thunder!" Desmond yelled as his Galvantula summoned a massive crashing thunder bolt that parted the clouds and savagely cooked the Tyranitar and its master, killing them both instantly. Suddenly more of the Team Rocket Alpha Squad were heading towards Desmond and his family launching attack after attack sending Desmond's Pokemon partners flying back rendering them unable to battle. *Slam!* *Crash!* *Explosion!* The battle is now looking dim for Desmond as he desperately tries to protect his family. "Damn it! There's too many of them! Ava, I'm so sorry. I've… I've failed you." Desmond says, looking at his fainted partners as a flamethrower hits him directly, sending him and Hypno flying off of the back of Salamence and into the rubble of his former home. "Hyp, nohh!" Hypno is now fainted as well, leaving Desmond with only his Salamence left. He looks back over his shoulder, "You've been the best partner I could have ever hoped for. You have truly exceeded expectations my friend. *Flashes back to memories of Bagon* Thank you for everything... Now go! Fly my family to safety! Quickly!" Suddenly a Hyper Beam from one of the Alpha Squad's Pokemon instantly smolders Desmond, reducing him to a pile of blood and ashes, chunks of his body lay twitching as Ava is forced to watch the disturbing nature of her husband's demise.

*Ava flashes back to Desmond's heroic smile* "Desmond!" Ava screams in horror with tears falling as Salamence flies her and Aiden from the rubble and blackened smoke, rushing in to join up with the remaining Light brotherhood members. Fighting its way through the disarray using Dragon Rush to clear a path, *SLAM! CRASH!* Salamence is hit! Attacks from every direction zero in on the desperate Pokemon as it tries to fulfil its duties to its former master. "MENCEEEE!" It cries out with its last breath as Ava is thrown from it's back, propelling her through the air as she cradles and protects her new born baby in her arms. The impact knocks Ava out cold for at least 5 whole minutes before the crying of her child wakes her. Still in a daze and ears ringing, Ava panics and runs with her baby seeking shelter. Rocket Elites call to their pokemon, launching attacks in her direction. *Heartbeat* *Ava's Thoughts* "This is the end. Aiden.. I am so sorry." *Rumble, Rumble* "PSY….STRIKE!" A heroic voice echoes through the battlefield

*BOOM! Woosh!* Ava opened her eyes, she was saved by a hooded figure wielding a wooden staff. With him, a floating Alakazam with its arms extended in front of itself, triumphantly fighting back in order to protect it's master. "Ava! Give me the boy! Quickly!" Before her stood Master Eldridge Nova, "The Liberator", with his arms reaching for the baby. "Alakazam! Soul Barrier!" He protected them from more oncoming attacks. Ava watches frozen, as her comrades fall helplessly to Team Rocket's terror. "Ava!" Eldridge yelled, quickly bringing her back into reality. She hands him baby Aiden with haste.

*Wind Blows* *Sweep!* *Stab!* *Blood splatter!* "Ahhh!" Abruptly, two blades plant into Ava's back and impale her chest, not just any blades but ones coated with dark ghostly energies. "I finally found you… Mother Nature..." Adonis says to her while grinning a crooked, evil smile. *Eldridge's thoughts* "NO! How did I not sense him coming?! Adonis… what have you done?!" Adonis meets eyes with his grandfather as Ava Falls off of his Phantom Blades, hitting the ground face first with a hard thud, beginning to bleed out. "It's been a long time, Grandfather, I believe this is a breach in the treaty, is it not? You were never supposed to interfere, you old fool…" He stares in disgust at what his grandson has become. "Is this what you want for yourself Adonis? To create pain, suffering and discord?!" He says angrily. "How could this have happened? How could you blindly follow your father's sick mentality without question?!"

Adonis smirks as darkness shrouds his aura, his eyes glowing as red as the blood that stains his tainted soul. "I know you have good in your heart somewhere my grandchild. You must find it within yourself alone, without your father's twisted guidance! I'll admit, my son Xalis is long gone, but it is not too late for you Adonis! You can still change the path you're on..!" Eldridge pleads for his grandson to hear his words. "You talk too much, old man. Now die! Ninjask! Extreme Speed!" Ninjask obeys his master as he disappears into thin air then reappears just as quickly attacking Eldridge with claws as sharp as razors. *ZIPPP!* *WOOSH!* Eldridge is struck and thrown back, protecting the infant Aiden with every fiber of his being. Despite the commotion, baby Aiden is now soundly sleeping in the arms of the liberator, with the on-going war as his lullaby.

"Please Adonis, I know somewhere deep in your heart you can find the courage to change your demented ways… I'll warn you now, this is your last chance to surrender to yourself and end all of this madness… Do not force my hand Adonis! I beg of you!" He speaks with a fire in his heart, a fire Adonis felt within his cold withered spirit. "Eldridge…" *Cough* Ava says with her final dying breath. "Foolish old man. You think you can bring peace to a world drenched in it's own blood and ashes. Peace can only be attained by regulation through distribution. You truly must not understand a goddamn thing! As long as two opposing forces exist, peace will slowly perish. We are Team Rocket! Chosen by cosmic fate to ignite the flames of destiny! Peace will exist only within those who accept our gift of purification.." Adonis preaches. "Is this what peace is to you Adonis?!" Eldridge exclaims with apoplexy, "DOES PEACE ENTAIL THE OVERWHELMING DESTRUCTION OF LIFE ITSELF?! ALL CREATURES DESERVE LIFE OVER DEATH ADONIS! YOU KNOW ONLY OF DEATH AND NOTHING OF LIFE!" He smiles, "You are the spitting image of your father my boy. Though you share the same spirit that belonged to your mother. Take the gift of power that Xalis passed onto you and use it for what is truly righteous! Your mother, she would have never wanted to see you this way my child. BELIEVE ME! YOUR MOTHER WAS A TRUE HERO OF PURITY AND LIGHT! FOLLOW IN HER FOOTSTEPS, NOT YOUR FATHER'S!" Ninjask looks back at Adonis awaiting orders as it's master is frozen in dismay and uncertainty. "You are NOT your father Adonis. Illuminate your path and see it for what it truly is! You can change this world and guide the flames of victory in the right direction!"

Adonis's eyes widen as he is still unable to move. The look on his face almost seems as if he feels remorse for all of the blood he has spilt. "Adonis! Join me, my boy! Let us rebuild all that you and your father have disrupted! We can rewrite history together, my child!" *Crash!* "Prince Adonis Sir! There are no more survivors, our mission is complete.." Suddenly the surviving Rocket Elite members join their leader.

Eldridge quickly puts his hood up so they wouldn't recognize him. "Is this the final survivor Adonis? Hahaha! looks like he's carrying a newborn! Seems it's our lucky day my friend! Two for the effort of one! Why do you hesitate? Execute them already or I will! We've been at this for weeks mate. End them and this whole war with one final move! Hahaha!" Says Rocket Elite Paladin Vincent, one of Adonis's childhood friends who was more like an older brother to him. Though Vincent is a hot headed savage who is always trying to surpass his peers, his tenacity makes him an extremely formidable warrior and Pokemon trainer. Adonis begins to hesitate as he is questioned by his squad of Elites. "Adonis? What's wrong darling? Please, You're scaring me." Said Nera, Adonis's promised fiance and childhood companion, who had fought by his side since the day he was appointed to lead the Rocket Elites. "I… I…" Adonis opened his mouth but words could not escape. "To hell with this! Rypherior! Stone Edge!" Vincent yelled as he grew tired of waiting. Adonis quickly turned to Vincent's Rypherior, reaching towards the beast. "NO!" He yelled as the attack commenced.

Giant spikes of stone formed along the ground rushing faster and faster towards Eldridge. "ALA….." Before Alakazam could even engage in attempting to teleport Eldridge to safety, Adonis's Ninjask dashes to his rescue, it's almost god like speed allows it to scapegoat itself granting Alakazam enough time to commence the instant transmission, essentially saving their lives."Ninnnn!" Ninjask, pierced and impaled, falls to the ground quickly and is caught by Adonis rushing to it's rescue. Adonis holds his dying partner in his arms covered in blood, as he gazes with wide watery eyes.

*Heartbeat* *Flashes back to his deceased mother's face* *Heartbeat* Everything is still now. What once was a bloody screeching industry of battle is now completely still and silent, aside from the rainfall. Adonis trembles as his childhood companion dies in his arms.*Heartbeat* *flashes back to Nincada* *Heartbeat* As the Rocket officials watch the Prince morne his partner, they offer no sympathy as they just witnessed the prince commit treason by helping their final target escape. "What is the meaning of this Adonis?!... What's wrong with you!?" Vincent shouts, breaking the tension.

"Will you oppose us now and suly all that we stand for?! Us who stood with you through everything? Us who swore on oath to stand together until the world is exiled of every fool who would oppose us?! Have you become that fool today Adonis!?" Still unresponsive, Adonis is on his hands and knees shaking with unrelenting anger, confusion and despair as he stares down at the mangled corpse that remained of his Pokemon partner. "Answer me Adonis!" Vincent yells, becoming more and more impatient.

"Adonis please!" Nera yells. The air around Adonis is shifting now, the clouds begin to darken and move faster as the surge of energies surround the prince and the corpse of his former partner. "Im done waiting for an explanation, Adonis!" Vincent yells, "If you won't stand with us then die like everyone else who would oppose us! Rypherior! Giga Impact!" Suddenly Vincent's Rypherior lunges towards Adonis propelled by it's massive strength, with the mighty force of a thousand crashing waves.

*Crash! Slam!* A giant impact leaves the now storming and winding scene, unable to see what has happened behind the smokey dust and embers. "NOOOOOOO! Adonis!" Nera cries out for him. "Good Riddance... This war is over... We are to report back to King Xalis immediately! I'm sure we are all aware that he is not going to be pleased with Prince Adonis's defection." said Vincent, showing no signs of compassion or mourning for Adonis whatsoever.

As the smoke settles, the Elites see a pair of red glowing eyes behind the swirling black of storming darkness along with a massive figure suspended in the air. A foul energy radiates behind the shadows, an energy unmeasurable by human proportions. "WHAT!? IMPOSSIBLE!?" Vincent shouts as he realizes his attack was unsuccessful. "GYAAHH!" Adonis yells as he pulls out both sides of Doublade from Rypheriors chest, forcing the colossal Pokemon down with a frontflip kick and shoots it towards the ground. Rypherior falls like a meteor from at least 15 ft in the air with two exponential wounds in its chest.

As Rypherior bolts towards the ground, it shatters into a million pieces upon impact. Vincent and the other elites that were in its path, quickly move out of the way, only narrowly escaping the giant boulder like Pokemon's descent. Bloody stone and mutilated organs smolder onto the Earth as Rypherior is killed instantly. "Rhyperior!" Vincent almost sounds sympathetic for the loss of his partner though he shows no pain. "What is happening!?" Nera yells confused and terrified.

"Prince Adonis has become more than just a man.. He has far transcended the physical limit of any human being. He seems to have entered a cosmic state of energies, one that may be beyond his own control. The death of his Ninjask must have triggered something deep inside of his mind. Something none of us could even begin to fathom. The blood of his ancestry burns through his veins..." Said Rocket Elite, Advisor Demascus. Damascus, a man of intellect and high sophistication, being a king's hand is a great honor amongst the Royal Citadel Elders and Team Rocket.

"Our Prince is…. No longer human. He has transcended into pure darkness. Vincent! We need to leave, now! Pull everyone back! Our fate is sealed if we stay and fight. There is no hope in trying to defeat a creature of this magnitude, it will quickly lead to our inevitable demise!" Demascus warned the group as he fled into a hasty getaway, summoning his Pidgeot, flying him to safety. *Nera's thoughts* "Adonis…. What have you become.." However Vincent felt indifferent, "HA! Flee if you want to, I vowed to never run from a battle! That was only one of the merciless pokemon in my arsenal! Let's see how you handle the rest of them Adonis! Damascus is a weak fool and an old coward! We are Team Rocket! We don't flee when the battle gets dim… We fight until the enemy wears our blood and pierces our beating hearts! NOW! GO! Garyados!" The other rocket elites looking to Vincent felt inspired by his words. They then followed his lead and summoned more and more Pokemon to aid them in a blood-curdling battle with this horrifying monster of what their prince had become. "The real battle has only just begun!" Vincent says courageously. Nera was frozen in place unable to move, paralyzed with fear. *Nera Flashes back to when she, Adonis and Vincent received their first pokemon together as children*

Adonis, still in a state of surging darkness and hellish energy, wields his Doublades and stares forward as his former squad summons every bit of force they have at their disposal to try and stop him. Garyados, Sharpedo, Steelix, Nidoking, Hydreigon, Gengar, Cofagrigus, Slaking, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Machamp, Magmortar, Blastoise, Typhlosion, Dusknoir, Tangrowth, ect. These are the strongest Admins that Team Rocket has to offer, though it seems none of them can measure up to Adonis in his tainted form, just as Demascus had warned them previously. Adonis gains beyond god-like speeds along with massive amounts of energies. With his Doublades, he rips through the destructive pokemon faster than light itself, moving at speeds matching up to mach 10! Consecutively, he decimates his former childhood companions and their pokemon in cold blood without even the slightest of hesitation. Nothing can be seen throughout the entire scene but the dust and blood being thrown from this almost 60 second battle. It all settles at once in a single moment of time stopping, horrific silence.

Vincent and Adonis then square up, the dead surrounding them in pools of crimson and ash. Though Vincent is out of usable pokemon he still wields his steel claymore blade that he calls "Samarah", named after his late fiance who was captured by a resistance group of raiders. She was tortured relentlessly and killed shortly after her capture, ever since, Vincent swore to avenge her death and blames himself for not being able to protect her. *Clash!* *Clang!* *SLICE!* As they cross blades, Adonis cuts completely through Vincent's claymore with Doublade, and impales him deep. *Vincent flashes back to Samarah's face smiling back at him.* Vincent falls from Adonis's Doublade, feeling every ounce of it's foul venom like energie's. "GYAAHH!" Pain surges through his body as his respiratory system begins to shut down. Out of breath, bloody and crawling away slowly Vincent speaks, "Why Adonis? Why have you betrayed your own people?! You were supposed to lead us into the One World Order you bastard! *Cough* *Cough* Why?! Why have you tarnished all of that? Why have you thrown away all that you have worked so hard to achieve?"

Adonis is now walking up to Vincent, with slow stoic strides as he grabs him by his hair and lifts him up exposing his neck. "Rrrg!" As Vincent stares into the glowing blood red eyes of his rival, it seems he would soon meet with his end. "Heh go ahead and kill me Adonis.. I'm already dead.. *cough* *cough* I always knew it would turn out like this, one of us at the end of the other one's blade… I was more than willing to kill for our cause and now… *cough* *cough* I'm more than willing to die for it! *coughs up blood* Heh… Now then... Fulfil your destiny my friend! END ME!" *Heartbeat* *Vincent's thoughts* "Samarah… I'm so sorry… I… I've failed you…" "GYAHHH!"

Adonis Screams as he slides Doublade across the throat of his rival Vincent. The blood of his former comrade spouts from his carotid artery, his knees hit the ground and his body falls limp. Adonis feels unbridled despair for what he had just done. *Adonis's thoughts* "Why…. Why does this pain plague my heart? Is this feeling what we cause inside of others? Loss… Pain.. Despair?" Questions and uncertainty now flood his mind, he looked up as the rain poured down, washing the blood from his face and hair. The moon beaming down through the dark clouds illuminating every bit of carcass and gore left in the conclusive wake of slaughter. "Adonis… what have you done?! Why have you forsaken us!?" Nera was still alive, subjected to watch helplessly as her platoon was slaughtered by her fiance and prince. "Nera… I…. I... " Adonis looked down at his blood covered hands and the soulless corpses of his comrades. "Nera.. What will you do now? Will you follow me? Or will you report back to your Demon king?" He says with a demented look of madness on his face. No!… Adonis… i'm sorry.. but I cannot follow you down this path.."

She grabbed the end of the Doublades as Adonis held them, forming an "X" around her neck. "Kill me… Kill me like you killed them.. I'm sworn by oath to follow the Team Rocket ideals until death… I refuse to dishonor my clan and faction with treachery…. I can't betray my convictions and I won't betray you… my only option is death Adonis.. So kill me.. Do it now and follow through with your revolution…" Adonis was paralyzed again with uncertainty this time more than ever. "Nera…." He said as he firmly held Doublade to his fiance's throat in the style of formal execution. "Do it now… Do it before your father arrives…Demascus fled from the battle earlier, the king is sure to be on his way as we speak." she says with tears in her eyes. "NERA! DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!" He yells in frustration. "You must darling please! It's the only way!" "GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Adonis closes his eyes and a single tear falls down his face along with rainfall. *Heartbeat* *Flashes back to memories with Nera* *Neras voice within flashback* "I will always love you.." * Heartbeat* *SLICE!* As Nera's head falls to the ground and her body topples over, Adonis finally feels the emotional pain of guilt catching up with him. Her head lies there lifeless with the look of pure fear and discomfort, forever branded to her dead face and in the shaken, fragile psyche of Adonis cerebral confines. "Nera…. I'm sorry…"

All of the lives he's claimed, everyone who he caused this same emotional torment to, Adonis finally understands in depth the evil seed his father planted within his impressionable mind all those years ago. Adonis falls to his knees and picks up Nera's head. Tears fall from his face onto hers as he sobs angrily locking his gaze, unable to look elsewhere. The pain he feels burns like hellfire coursing through his body. "GYAAAA!" He screams to the heavens, hoping her soul somehow made it into paradise. *Sounds of Chopper in the sky* *Whooossshhhh!* *Thunder and lightning* Adonis looks up above the four story building he stands beneath. "Father…." King Xalis's chopper hovers above the building. Adonis charges his energy and looks over his shoulder as he throws one of the blades into the wall of the tower at full force, about 6 feet above his head. The blade stabs deep into the wall with intense velocity. "HYAAAHHH!" Adonis uses his ghostly energies to restore some lost stamina and prepare for the fight of his life, as the Doublade he held in his hand allowed him to instantly teleport to the other one sticking out of the wall. He quickly pulled the blade out with an intense scraping sound, proceeding to run up the side of the tower.

As he makes his way upward, a section of the destroyed tower begins falling at a rapid pace, coming straight for Adonis! *Shing! Slice!* He cuts effortlessly through the debris as it virtually explodes, crumbling into pieces below. Adonis's mission was more clear to him now than ever before, it was time to confront his father Xalis The Tyrant King. As Adonis ascends upward, he leaves a trail of burning embers following his path. He plunges his two blades into the wall as he approaches the top, and launches himself up and over the edge, planting a firm landing on the roof of the tower. *Chopper cutting sounds* *WOOSH!* The chopper hovers about 6 feet off of the rooftop, Xalis stands in the doorway with his arms crossed with a disheartened, infuriated expression on his brooding face. He looks his son in the eyes as he leaps from his chopper, landing with a heave of force. The chopper flies about a mile inland for the pilot knew this would soon turn into a hellish bloodbath he wanted no part of. As Xalis stands before his son the twisted, winding rain surrounds them, as well as the blood and flesh of hundreds of those who had perished a violent and cruel death.

The smell of charred carcase fills the smokey thick air as the bright glow of flames illuminates the surrounding area. Only seconds pass as he is in his father's presence and Adonis already feels the helplessness creeping into his psyche as panic begins to wash over him. Adonis feels as if he is put in a state of dissociative awareness. It has been said that looking into the king's bright yellow eyes causes hysteria and uncertainty, inevitably losing the means to battle him with a cool head, though none have tangled with the king and lived to tell the tale. It was as if the king had the ability to instantly intimidate and almost paralyze his prey with his piercing gaze, as most serpent based creatures would do. "What is the meaning of this Adonis?!" Xalis asks his son angrily as he stares into Adonis's very soul for what seems like an eternity. Adonis stands in silence as he challenges his father's menacing and merciless gaze with his own, his face remaining confident and calm throughout the tense moments that pass. "Answer me!" He yells reaching for Aegislash on his back.

"Father… Don't you see the Hell you've led us to? Aren't you aware of the excessive violence and unbridled death that you have caused? The damage we have done to the people of Agoria… The torment and devastation we have spread throughout the continent, WHILE YOU SIT ON YOUR THRONE AND REAP THE BENEFITS, NEVER FEELING THE SLIGHTEST REMORSE FOR WHAT YOU DO?! You're nothing but a crooked cowardly king! One who would rule with fear rather than legacy or compassion like my grandfather Eldridge! You turned me into a cruel monster and then Agoria into a hellish wasteland. I know it's too late for you.. But I can still make this right! I will put a stop to you and your tyranny, putting an indefinite end to the cold era! Don't you see father?! There is beauty and peace in this world, peace that exists within the fabrics of humanity. Peace that you continue to exile with every step you take! It is time for a permanent change father! I will bring true order and peace to this world and repent for the sins you've guided me to commit!"

Adonis almost out of breath as his father let him finish. "STUPID BOY! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CARRY OUT MY WILL AS RULER OF THE SUPREME FACTION!" Xalis explodes with anger removing his cloak as it slides off of his shoulders onto the rooftop floor. "A traitorous dog like you has no right to continue breathing in this world that I allow you to inhabit! This world belongs to Team Rocket! Team Rocket belongs to me! So don't you see my son? You along with every other crawling maggot in this world are my possessions! This world is mine Adonis, pokemon, people and gods alike. Everything will bow down to my supreme rule and mine alone! You have proven yourself to be unworthy of my throne Adonis. You will die here today my son! You shall die at the end of my blade just like your deceptive whore of a mother! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" *Flashes back to his mother's face* Adonis, now stunned by the revealing truth behind his mother's death when he was only a child, is tormented and flooded with more dangerous emotion than ever before. Xalis laughs towards the sky as he works himself into a frenzy, mad with power. "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU MY SON! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Xalis holds a purple monster capsule in his hands that begins to glow with a horrendously deranged and powerful aura. "Mewtwo! Erase him from this plane and deliver his soul to the dark lord Giratina!" He yells as he summons his genetically enhanced, extra terrestrial looking pokemon, that which he alongside the head science engineers artificially created. This man single handedly brought true evil through science and nature. *Adonis's thoughts* "This… This is the fabled creature known as Mewtwo. Created by replicating the DNA of the legendary Pokemon of origin, Mew… This won't be easy.. But I will NOT allow Agoria to suffer any longer! I'll do whatever it takes.."

*Crash!*A beam of destructive energy is released from the blasphemous being, Adonis just barely dodging the attack with a swift right side diagonal flip. The rooftop split and charred where the attack landed, as it cracked about a quarter of the way, leaving limited solid ground to stand on for the combatants. "Don't you see Adonis? It's hopeless to oppose me. Unfortunately for you, you've already made your choice! HYAAHHHH!" Xalis yells out as he lunges forward wielding his Aegislash, attempting a devastating strike. Adonis crosses Doublade into an "X" shape just barely blocking the attack, catching his father's Phantom Blade. As their steel continues to clash back to back at dangerously high speeds, sparks ignite and scatter throughout.

"You are not worthy of the Phantom Blade you wield, you were never worthy of the contract Adonis!" The king says as he presses down his giant ghostly blade with more and more pressure. The storm continues swirling rapidly in every direction. "Rrrgggg!" Adonis struggles, "No father… you are the one who's unworthy…!" *Clash! Shing!* He breaks their intense lock-in, releasing and dodging the king's downward strike he had blocked. He then takes two steps up the king's Aegislash and flips backwards, kicking off of Xalis's face, and plants a solid landing with an almost shinobi like esque. "MEWTWO!" Xalis calls to his Mewtwo for backup as it then administers a second Psywave, rapidly sending Adonis flying backwards off of the building. Adonis quickly uses ghostly energies from his Doublade to air hike, leaping back towards the building's edge. He catches himself with one hand and lifts himself up, only to find his father grabbing him by the throat, holding him over the edge. "Very impressive Adonis… I taught you well, you certainly show promise amongst all else. However today, you have forsaken our clan and sullied the honorable name Team Rocket."

He tightens his grip around his son's throat. "I HEREBY BANISH YOU FROM THIS REALM AND RECLAIM THE SOUL I BESTOWED UPON YOU WHEN I BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS DIMENSION MY SON!" A still moment of silence shudders down Adonis's spine, he smirks with confidence. "Shadow… Force!" He mutters. *SLICE!* *Echoes* "ARRRHHHHH!" The king yells out in agony. Doublade emerges from its own pocket dimension with a clean slice to the king's forearm, severing it completely! "MY ARM!" The king's blood falls with an agonizing splatter as he takes two steps backward, giving Adonis the upper hand. The slice from Doublade was fast enough to say it was operating at least mach 1 of movement speed! It was so fast it cauterized the wound instantly, preventing the king from bleeding out.

Adonis grabs the Doublades as he gets himself into a solid stance, landing swiftly in place on the remaining sections of the tall building's roof. "Mewtwo! END HIM!" Xalis jumps backwards out of the way as Mewtwo takes aim and fires a massive black and violet swirling ball of energy, on a path to decimate the prince with coursing darkness, that which no mortal could easily withstand. "This power. It's… Unreal." Almost completely drained of his energy, Adonis feels hopeless as the attack closes in. He shuts his eyes, *Flashes back through memories* *Adonis's thoughts* "It's over.. This is the end. I'm sorry mother, I wasn't strong enough to avenge you." As Adonis accepts his daunting fate, the air is filled with an ominous glow that illuminates the area. As he opened his eyes, his Doublade had evolved into Aegislash! Additionally protecting him from Mewtwo's unavoidable attack, using the move King's Shield! Adonis gazed, with tears in his eyes, at his Pokemon partner in it's brand new form, he knew in these moments every bit of effort would count. "The time to act is now.." Adonis says to himself, wielding Aegislash with black fire bursting from his cloak ready to assist him along with the floating shield of Aegislash. Unlike his father's Phantom blade, Adonis's had a different coloration that consisted of black and red rather than the traditional silver and purple. It was time to avenge all those lost in the agony he and his father had created. As he grabs the hilt of his new Pokemon partner, the ancient text that had been inscribed on Adonis's skin upon receiving the Phantom Blade, began to light up with an ominous golden glow. "GYAAHH!" Adonis swings the fully evolved Phantom Blade, releasing radiating energies from his energy network, replenishing what power he could in order to reverse the situation as effectively as possible. This also made his eyes shine a brighter crimson than ever before.

His cloak started to look almost like it was breathing, as it was a part of the same cloth as his Aegislash had wrapped around it's master's arm for maximum binding. His cloak, that now appeared to be alive, then ignited with a dark glow! It had the appearance of black flames that danced around the prince, as Aegislash's shield hovered, ready to assist Adonis on it's own accord. His fiery cloak stood outward and resembled burning black angel wings."What!? IMPOSSIBLE!" Xalis shouts angrily at the top of his lungs, "Your resistance is most certainly annoying Adonis! You insignificant little shit! I shall send you to where your dear mother is, in the Distortion Realm where all of the trash can be together for eternity! DIE!" He and Mewtwo striking back to back over and over in an unrelenting clash against Adonis and Aegislash leaving only minimal openings for anyone to advance.

Adonis uses his cloak to lightning jump a great distance, getting enough space between him and his adversaries. "FLAAASH…. CANNON!" Adonis unleashes a solid burst of massive metallic energies, administered by the realm breaking swing of the Phantom Blade. Hitting Mewtwo with unrelenting power, the attack knocks it out of the air and stuns it temporarily, giving Adonis some headway for an opportunity to go for the one armed Demon King. "ARHHH!" Xalis and Adonis clash with the destructive force of devils and angels. The twisting storm cracked loud thunder and lightning around the battle between father and son. "You will die here my son!" Said Xalis. Adonis's cloak dancing and twisting with black flames as the battle rages on like the clashing of Heaven and Hell. Xalis having one arm made little difference in his skill with the Phantom Blade. "I can only hope the gods witness as I exterminate the filth from this existence! I shall make an example of you Adonis! An example of a disgraceful martyr! I.. AM… GOD! The prophecy spoke only of Lord Xalis Nova, the transcending savior of this poor demented world desperate for eternal purification!" The king exclaimed loudly as thunder crashed violently with his words. Adonis realized Mewtwo was no longer stunned and was coming back to rejoin it's master in combat.

Adonis blocks an oncoming attack from Xalis then drop kicks the king in desperation for it was hopeless to try and fight Mewtwo and his father together. Xalis flies back knocking him down, giving Adonis time to charge his next move. "Phantom….. FORCE!" Adonis and Aegislash vanish instantly! As the Mewtwo floats towards the battle, it is met with Adonis's blade as he reappears directly adjacent to Mewtwo, "Sacred…. Sword!" *Echoes* slicing upward diagonally, leaving a giant wound in Mewtwo's torso bringing it down with a mighty crash!

Adonis lands near the Mewtwo, desperately rushing to cover to recharge his energy for he had used almost every bit of it with those last attacks. *Adonis's thoughts* "Mewtwos down for now but it's not finished yet. I can't risk killing it right now. I need to recharge." He finds somewhere to take cover for the moment. "Where are you Adonis! Come out and die like the coward you are!" Xalis shows no compassion for his severely damaged Pokemon partner. "Show yourself, you abomination!" He limps as he searches frantically on a war path to murder his son in cold blood. Xalis stops and looks over his shoulder, he knows he isn't alone.

"Shadow… FORCE!" Adonis appears from thin air and strikes at the king's back. "GRAHHHHH! The king swings his blade, rendering Adonis's ambush unsuccessful. He is then slung against the side of a building with serious velocity. Adonis is on his last legs, with his energy almost completely diminished from having defeated Mewtwo, the king was far from being finished. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Xalis laughs maniacally as he rushes Adonis blade first but is unsuccessful for Adonis's Aegislash shield quickly appears and deflects the king's attack. "Damn you!" Xalis yells as he attempts another strike just as quickly. Before the King's strike was able to reach Adonis, his burning cloak catches the blade, and wraps around the King's wrist causing even more severe damage to King Xalis that to him felt like frostbite even though he was touched with black flames. "ARRGHHH!" The King was furious at this point though he knew Adonis was out of options and would not be able to stop this next attack. *Heartbeat* *STAB!* *Heartbeat* *SLICE!* *Echoes* "No…." *Cling!* Adonis drops Aegislash as the king's Phantom Blade is plunged through his chest pinning him against the wall of the tower. Wind rushes as everything is silent for a single moment of disheartening stillness. "Did you really think you could make a difference Adonis?

Did you really think even for a second you could stop my reign of purification?" Xalis pulls his blade from his son's chest with a cringingly eerie slice that seemed like it caused a reverberation across the whole town. "Grrahh" Adonis, coughing up blood, falls to the ground at the king's feet. "AHAHAHAHA!" The king kicks his son repeatedly while he bleeds out on the ground beneath him. Adonis's vision begins to blur as he realizes that life has already begun to leave his essence and his power has run out as well as his time. He tries to pick himself up as his mind flashes back to the same memories and images of his past he encountered earlier. "I'm… not finished… yet…" Adonis says weakly. He struggles to move as his father kicks him again and again laughing like a deranged madman. "You! *Kick* Were never worthy! *Kick* Of my throne! *Kick* You, insignificant filth! *Kick* *Kick* *Kick* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" *Kick* Over and over Adonis is kicked to the ground struggling to get up just to be kicked back down into the pool of his own blood. Aegislash is now completely drained of energy and Adonis has accepted that they would soon meet their end. Xalis finally stopped kicking as Adonis's body ceases all movement except for faint breathing.

"Heheh…" Adonis smiled covered in his own blood. "?!" Xalis is shocked that his son, mutilated and beaten almost to death, can still act so smug. "Even if you kill me here today… There will be others… Someone else will rise up in my place father! Your reign of purification will meet its inevitable end. You are nothing but a foolish coward, no better than a pitiful bandit." Adonis says with his final breath, "Mother…. Are you watching? Heheh…." Adonis smiles.

Infuriated, King Xalis lifts the Phantom Blade, "Goodbye my son… You delusional pathetic unworthy fool!" *Stab!* "HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Xalis bursts with laughter as he slaughters his only son, impaling him through his back separating his spine, ensuring an instant but horrendous death. *Stab! STAB! Stab! STAB! Stab!* The flames of Adonis's cloak slowly begin to fade. He continues stabbing Adonis over and over with wet plunging thrusts everytime the blade enters his back, laughing as he does it. Then finally with one last heel kick delivered to Adonis's head, his face caves into the back of his skull with a brutal and sickening cracking sound.

Prince Adonis, has been defeated. As his body lies lifeless, the king continues to mutilate and beat the corpse of his son, in a victorious triumph. *Rumble* *Rumble* *************Eerie high pitched ringing************** Suddenly the air has shifted. "ARGGHH! What is this!?" The King quickly covers his bleeding ears as a high pitched tone cuts through the entire town. A beam of heavy light completely blinds Xalis and begins to emit burning laser-like beams that shoot off in every direction, seeming to come from his son's bloody mutilated body. "It cannot be! No.. this isn't real! Alma!?"

Xalis throws a smoke signal bomb, requesting a chopper extraction. "No! You aren't supposed to be alive! You aren't real! Stay back! STAY BACK!" The light, forming around Adonis's remains, takes on a familiar form to Xalis, one that he dreaded seeing more than anything. As the chopper zeros in on the king's location, it's now within earshot of Xalis.

Terrified, he begins to retreat and run from the entity coated in light, it extends its arms out towards Xalis as if it is waiting to be embraced by him. The entity was a grotesque, mutilated cadaver with it's bottom jaw completely missing and it's face woefully unrecognizable, similar to how Adonis currently looked in the condition Xalis left him in. "Hurry you fool!" The king yells out to the chopper in desperation. It lands and Xalis is seconds away from safety, when the entity catches the king, wrapping burning light energy around his ankle like tentacles, pulling him back. "NO! LET GO OF ME YOU DISGUSTING CREATURE!" He yells as he suffers burns that feel almost like hellfire has touched him. *High pitched screech* The screeching of this banshee-like creature shakes the chopper around in the air as it yells eerily and pulls the king back into a vortex the entity was creating. "Alma! Let me go! Let me go you miserable wretch!" The king desperately yelled to the ghostly entity. "Pidgeot! Use, Air Cutter!" Demascus's Pidgeot darts from the helicopter and frees the king from the spirit's grasp.

"Your majesty!" Demascus reaches from the chopper towards the king grabbing his wrist. "Demascus pull harder you ignorant fool!" The king yelled at his advisor, who even despite being treated terribly, still remained loyal to his king. "RRRGGGGGHHH!" He heaved and pulled with all of his might! He was finally able to get the king aboard safely, though the king sustained many burns and other heavy damage that would leave him permanently scarred. "Your majesty, what was that astral spirit just now? I have never in my travels seen anything like it." Demascus asked Xalis. Though Xalis offered no response, he sat down and took one last look at the entity. "What?!" He yells in dismay. As he gazes from the chopper, the spirit looks completely different as if it took on a different form upon interaction.

"That creature!... Before, it looked like Alma! Its form is completely different now!" *Demascus's thoughts* "Alma?... That's his majesty's deceased wife. How is that possible?"

"My liege. That isn't possible, Queen Alma has been dead for many years now. Do you not remember the accident?" He reminded his king. "ENOUGH DEMASCUS!" The king interrupted. "I Know what I saw, let's just focus on my wounds and get that fool of a pilot to make haste!" "Of course your majesty." Demascus replied as he signaled for the pilot to step on it. *Xalis's Thoughts* "How was that possible? Was I hallucinating? What was that other form it took on afterwards? It looked like a pokemon, or at least the shed skin of one. Hmm.. At least this fool Damascus still thinks Alma's death was an accident. Hahaha! As long as HE believes that, so will everyone else, and more importantly those dim-witted elders from within the Citadel. Heheheh..." He thinks to himself as Demascus dresses his wounds until they can make it back to Team Rocket HQ.

Overall, the King's mission was successful however the loss that Team Rocket sustained was as unexpected as it was devastating. Though his entire empire believed the king defeated "The Light", and triumphed in the name of Team Rocket, Xalis does not consider this a victory by any means. According to anonymous sources from all over Agoria, King Xalis has declared sector 66, (Hallow Town) condemned and off limits to all civilizations. Civilians were uninformed of what happened that day in Sector 66. Because of this, Team Rocket has built a sturdy wall bordering the Eerie Acres and has constant grunt patrol surrounding their structure. Any civilian caught near the wall is usually killed on sight or worse, from now on it'll be near impossible to enter or exit this forest of death. The details of what happened to Adonis's alpha team have been hidden from the general public by order of King Xalis and Team Rocket Citadel, (TRC) law. Furthermore, Prince Adonis and his Alpha Team went down in Team Rocket history as loyal patrons and heroes who defeated "The Light", an organization that threatened the very foundation of what Team Rocket was built upon. As far as the TRC is concerned, these vigilant heroes gave their lives to protect their clan and faction and will be honored as such to inspire all future generations to come.
