Trigger warning- supporting/side character near death
(Link and the others read to the nightlight realm surrounded by adorable cat like dragons called nightlights)
Steven finds the place lovely, ' we made it, aww this guys are so cute'. Link wonders how cometic gods cures the dragonic corruption'. Steven starts to think,' hmmmmm, may be the nightlights or solgaleo have a connection because there associate the lights of the sky.' The nightlights sniff at Steven's gem while and alert to cuddle him,' hey what are you…..awww your too sweet,' Iris responded,' awww they like you Steven.' Gamayun look at the mural it shows lunala and solgaleo being created by Palkia, 'It seems Pakia played a role in dragon mythology.' Yusei corrects her,'not just that, actually Palkia is the savior of the galaxy so lets hope it doesn't give Steven messiah complex'. Redfire corrected Yusei about the complex part, 'Actually Steven experienced that in Steven Universe Future I think.' Steven starts to see Pakia mural as important figure, 'well you guys you don't have tp put me like a show man.' The nightlights are just staring at Steven with there cute eyes and white one with black patches and aquamarine give steven a flower crown, 'Awww you guys.' Then the black one with white patches tied hime up on a pole, 'what's going on around here'. Link is worry about this, 'what you guys doing.' Takes Steven to near by cenote, 'Guys what are you doing, this will cause 5,000 years of evil voodoo for drowning me'. Dawn the teal eyed with equal black and white (twilight) explains about the rampaging mech and how it connects the how Palkia saves them, ' Pakia will release cooling nebula from the watery portal to protect the earth from being ionized from Solgaleo.' Steven protested, 'But Dawn remember what we talked about that I bring my friends to fix things,' Dawn respond,' We have our verson of that, sacrifice Palkia's human form'. Dawn shove Steven; Steven start to glow pink, sprout wings and tail, grow nails, grow 5 horns out of his face, and eyes/face stats to shift like palkia's. Steven returns and growls and unleash Palkia's cry. Link talks to the nightlights,'Alright Palkia is not just your savior, the Hero of legend can save you because I have visions from the three weather saviors, If we dan't do even or sacrifice, we might get ionized, shifted by time rupture or even worst Yveltal.
Link last words cause the dragons to gasp, 'oh no did I offended you.' Dawn corrected him, 'no Link you mentioned the winged evil- Yveltal. I heard about this creature, it created some dragons. Talking dragons the wreck havoc in alola region- divewings, piercing shriekscales (soft spines), slink wings that lead by a mother silver-tailed Ironclaw. Ironically there not evil it, their just drakes bit not real dragons.' Steven responded, 'that explained by Zelda is in hiding despite she's good with dragons but not drakes.' Everyone is ready to go deeper into the domain until Dawn tells Link, 'Hero you target awaken been the hour of the light and the hour of the dark.' Link nodes before moving forward. The mech is resting, looks like a mechanical Godzilla. The creature is called Trypticon- charismon. A descendent of a Blood diamond- hilierosaurus (stegosaurid) is ready to fight the beast. The beast contains Solgaleo that using it to create ionized energy to form plasma, it blast at the blood diamond until Yusei and his deckerGreymon is ready to fight with Zapdos aura. Deckergreymon unleash a barrage go of lighting out of his cannons, fist it looks like its going conducted until it start to absorb the energy from the reactor. Yusei respond his error, 'wait, did Stormcloud mentioned that electric might be infected because it makes the ionizing energy stronger.' Yusei gets his digimon to escape Trypticon's missal barrage. The mech start to make Yusei for belong in the bad timeline, 'what's the matter bad boy, are too afraid to let go pf your Digimon. I heard that your beyond the expiration date.' Deckergreymon defended his master, 'no one talks back to my master like that.' Yusei's Luxiray is about to attack but Yusei protested, 'Luxi don't attack, he'll use your lighting as advantage.' Luxi jump on Greymon to hide until back up comes. Yusei's heliolisk and vikavolt came with them until his taichung forms a barrier to protect from the attack. Yusei is hoping for Link and Steven, 'come on you guys I'm counting on you.'
Steven and Link enters the battle field and realized that Yusei needs back up, 'looks like is one turn, lets do it Steven'. Steven responded, 'you got it Link'. Iris's Haxorus start to grow bigger from the corruption and start to wings out of his arms, 'guys hurry he's getting worst.' Steen is about to use Redfire as Wargrowlmon but Erginus start to attack the mech first and start to absorb the energy from the reactor,' Steven warns the corrupted Kaiju about power abuse, 'don't get ionized energy from the reactors, you'll get crazy from power.' The Erginus starts to absorb more until it went mad with power, Redfire starts to protect Steven from the glowing kaiju 'your not going to touch my boy, guys get him.' Shaymin seems too scared so it hide in Steven;s jacket, 'not me I don want to get ionized.' Steven comfort her, don't worry buddy. Breloom, Tropius, Whimsicott use solar beam' Steven's pokemon absorb the light energy from the sun before releasing beam of photons at the mech. The mech increase the attack by using overdrive, Steven's pikemen dodge the attack while Erdinus continue to attack. Link felt that something is coming from the cenote, it turns out Godzilla manage to entered the hidden world by swimming into the underground river system. Iris summoned her tiger-like vehicle to attack the beach similar to prowling tiger. The mech is ready to attack with charged plasma cannon, until Zacian got in the way and got hit. 'NO' Link shout at the top of his lungs, 'I'm going feral'. The LaGOWE prowls Trypticon and bites the neck, the mech shoves Iris away while starts to bleed oil. Link orders his pokemon to attack; Chesnaught uses hammer arm. tiucannon use beak blast, and Gamayun use sky attack. None of the attack is effective but beak blast, Yusei realized that beak blast is made of thermoradiated energy that seems to be sensitive despite possessing ionizing plasma.
Trypticon released mechanical screech that it git a burn, Iris tank continues to prowl and Erdinus rams at him. This leads a critical point that he's ready yo use meltdown, it unleash EMP at Iris- thus rending her vehicle useless. Haxorus got really out of control to the point of allow to fully corrupting itself, 'you not getting away with this.' haxorus glows green, splits his tail in to three, gets fulling developed hammerhead, folded his wings like wyvern.' Haxorus becomes Fallen Beast Otachi, 'I'm thirst for vengeance, your going to pay for this'. Haxorus thrushes the mech like a feral animal, Steven and Link are watching what happened in horror. Steven turned oink and start to form a barrel around his pokemon and redfire. Redfire start to reach Steven, 'Steven calm down, there still a way to heal him. Steven manages to calm down but still has Palkia's parts. 'If you say so, use radiation slash'. Redfire slash the mechanical kaiju, I release a screeching. Steven realized that it can be sensitive to heat, 'It doesn't like heat, so why it is using plasma from Solgaleo to ionize the surface to began with.' Redfire explain to steven about science, 'you see steven, my element of fire is associated with radiation that happen in high temperature. The plasma he's using is a state of matter where is ionized at temperature as well. Ionized gradation that he used on Yusei is associated with the element of lighting- electromagnetic energy. Right now he's having a meltdown because we are exposing or feeding him with high temperature that he using to create plasma. If he unleash a more powerful plasma that originated from use, he is going to hurt himself'. The mech is still having a meltdown (glowing) and thats to summon plasma blades to fight two corrupted kaiju until Redfire deflects it with his radiation blades, 'all right guys, I'm helping you '. Steven is still whimpering until Palkia's aura appears, 'Let me do it, Humans are just scared.' Steven tries to control it, 'no I must do this'. Palkia protest, 'no you'll have a meltdown like last time.' Steven responded, 'I understand that humans are flawed that that's alright.' Palkia's sure mellows down from his gem powers.
Godzilla arrives, Link gets on him to synchronized with zygared-like snakes to fuse. Steven is surprided to see fusion of Link with a Divine Titan, 'Link are fusing with Godzilla.' Link surrounds Godzilla with articuno's aura, grow her wing, and scunner horns (bull-like). Link felt his adrenaline is rushing through his vein that his aware that the world will be endanger. Godzilla read Link thoughts as he is synchronized with him, he unleash his atomic radiation breath at the mech. The mech got really furious that gains monsters keep hurting him with radiation so he fought back like he have mechanical adrenaline. Erginus is ready to attack Trypticon but his instinct kicks him to fight back. Ergrinus release a massive death siren to stun but the mech fights back with EMP with electromagnetic energy from the generator, the impulse knocks the kaiju back to chibi form while Iris catches him. Haxorus, despite being corrupted it manage to aware what's going on so it fights. Otachi (haxorus) yes his tail like a whip and wraps it around it s he could lift it up. Before Otachi is going to drop it, the mech stunned him with plashing gleam and taser claw. Otacho crash landed while Iris was horrified what happened, 'my Axew, no'. Wargrowlmon got furious so he clashed with radiation attack before the mech deflects with plasma blades.
Godzilla knows that blasting with high radiation will make the melt down worse and make captive solgaleo release a sunshine that ionized the world and kills everything. Link started ti think about it,' Godzilla this might be difficult but there's a way. You see his attacks are released to the sun- radiation, electromagnetism and glowing like sunshine because he iusing from solgaleo. To balance things out is a foil, Lunala is associated with the moon so we must talk to him. The moon is different from the sun because it is represent darkness but purified by dreams. But since sun is radiation so lune must be the opposite.' Godzilla is surprised about so it starts to glow bright blue but everything surrounding it began to freeze. Trypticon attack Godzilla with radiated plasma blast but cooled down before even touched, godzilla got near while everything start to freeze. Articuno's aura appease behind him while he getting closer. So he prepares charging plasma blast until godzilla blast the faker by releasing a conducting suppressed condensate blast. The reactor shut off from the suppressed energy from the divine beast, the mech starts to move very slowly. Yusei appears with deckergreymon to finish him of by allowing his digimon to phase through the mack with his claws. Deckergreymon pulled something from the mech chest and revealed to be a charismon (a digimon that hijacks), 'so the vermin is reason why the mech act like it can't control it self like going into melt downs.' Zacian finished him off with Behemoth sword attack- an attack that take down gains monsters in one swing.
Steven agrees, 'understood but his not the only one being hurt.' Steven goes to Iris with unconscious Otachi, 'Haxorus, way happen to you, how did become this. I didn't;t know that your kind was descended by clawless scythe dinosaurs, why didn't I learn. If only I give you a chance to grow on your own instead of being stuck as axew,' Iris cries from her lack of knowledge about her axew until Steven came,' Iris don't cry is not your fault. You just didn't expect axew to grow into haxorus because maybe in your world something wanted your axew stay an axew because either you might fear of his true past or you'll not find him cute anymore.' Iris drys her tears and starts to comfort Otachi (haxorus), 'is this what you fear, Ax…..Haxorus? Is alright that you want grow and I want to support you as a Haxorus even that your less cute. You'll always be my little Axew no matter what?' Kisses the corrupted kaiju and renters back haxorus, 'awww Iris I love you'. They both hug each other while Steven send a wounded chibi dino to now freed Solgaleo, 'Solgaleo herd that you can heal this ummm the last remains of clawless scythe claw from ever have a thrust of vengeance.' Link comes back to see Solgaleo attempt to heal, 'My child that travels with the hero of legend beg to help to heal a chibi dino but it will take time heal it self because yellow bellies have tainted their view. They are so flawed that they are destined to be demolished by Yveltel. This Therizinosaurus still have painful memories from the Yellow bellies to the point it become rivals with haxorus. I can heal him but it's going to cost some thing.
Link sense something, a swift armored Indoraptor named khan. Zacian is ready to attack but got hit with steel armor on his back, 'humth, fairies is the best type you chose Hero?' Link responded, 'Not If I do a finishing blow, HYAHHHHHH'. He grabbed him with his tail and stick him a shadow crystal to turn him into ravenger (whale wolf) and knocked him out. The Nightlight dragons sense some thing but Khan formed a barrel around it, 'you guys think con outsmart me *sees a lifeless mech* Pity what a waste of good weapon that could fried this world'. Yusei asked Steven about Khan, 'Steven who is he'. Steven replied, 'that's Khan the leader of lizalfoes and work with the jaguars despite that they have been rivals back in Delta Earth.' Khan sees Steven and yusei, ' so Palkia you created human allies, how pity *traps yusei and tied Steven with is tails that split into tentacles* Palkia my master hav been looking for the soul heart that lies with in butI realized that you left it exposed in you human form. *realized his Pink Diamond in his belly* I might too brash if I to it right know unless.' Steven tires to free himself but, 'Let me out, you don't like It when I turn pink. What are you, you better attempt to remove my gem jut to use as a soul heart'. Khan replied,'yes I can because I needed you, Palkia.' Solgaleo is ready ti cure the chibi dino but Khan swaps it with Steven who he gets hit instead. A massive flash blinds everyone until Link (and his pokemon) woke up back to the surface with very weak Steven on his back and realized his gem is missing,' Link. you must go to Zelda to go to Delta earth.' Redfire look at Steven, 'Link you also go to Zelda to use the shrine to her Steven because without his gem, his….his….'.
Solgaleo- my apologies that I wasn't expected a creature of shadows to fool to take Palkia from you, you must reach Zelda from the aether paradise
(Midna's lament heard with slowed chiptune from Steven's theme)
Link is taking Steven all over the Alola to reavh Zelda in Shrine of resurrection. Divewings gets in the way until Breloom and Tropuis attacks them in defense, Link goes to the river to swim to the next location. After leaving Poni island, they encountered by slime oozing slinkwings. Redfire attacks it with pyro blaster for protection of his dying master. After lifting from melemele island to the aka island Link is faced with shriekscales until Toucanon and Gamayun swatted away with wing attacks. 'Link, I can't go on you must go to Delta Earth without me.' Link refuse,'No I can't you must get better even without your gem'. Then Ironclaw pops out of nowhere, Link dives into the water to pounce at the drake, the drake got rusted from the water contact. Link attempt to enter the boat heat for Aether Paradise but kicked out form his best form, so he sneaked in. Once mech to paradise island, Gamayun guided Link inside for Zelda.
Link enters into the shrine, Steven collapsed from his side. 'Link I can't, I'm in pain.' Link comforts Steven until Zelda appears. Steven interacts despite dying, 'Zelda you must tellLink about the evil that exist in Delta Earth that tries earth unless the get the Sword that seals the darkness. Also he mist know about the jaguars that used heroes but now they are corrupted. Before you do that, you must get rid of the curse. The world needs Link so please…..help him' Zelda reaches her hand to Link but changes towards Steven, ' That curse is not from stigma, is from Delta Earth created by evil rather than vengeful force. In order to balance one from darkness, one must bind it towards the light. Link must go back to Lost Woods to reach the Sword that banishes evil.' Grabs Steven's hand and lay another hand where his gem used to be, ' Steven please take my power of the goddess.' Steven began to glow while Zelda slowly fades, 'Wait, Zelda what you you doing. Link please tell her to stop. ZELDA'. Zelda fades while Steven is is now a fully heathy human but at what price, 'Zelda *looks at Triforce of wisdom in is naveless belly* you knew about the cosmic power that lies with in me. Zelda was chosen to hold the power of the cosmic gods but I'm actually the descendent. *took a moment to calm* Link we must go back to the forest'. They head for the fast travel point to return to the shrine that's in Lost Woods.
Steven riding WolfLink to in the forest to reach the Master Sword that Link is about to reach earlier. Shaymin makes sure no one gets in the way until she attacks a Barraskewda. Now Link managed to reaches there, the sword began to glow while Link growls while turning back into a human with his iconic green tunic. He puts the sword out while Steven commented, ' Looks like the Master Sword chose you Link'. Zacian howls while gaining a metallic transformation around it, a digiegg appears in Steven's Digivice. Toucannon is happy about it, 'know let's ready to go to Delta Earth to fight the Jaguars.' Link stays silent while pointing his sword skyward.
END
Ice age 2 reference, war for cybertron game reference because it has not-mechagodzilla that is the best Trypticon incarnation. Don't worry blood diamond will play a role in next arc.
Honestly I don't want Steven to get hurt because he's my fav from Steven universe but Twilight princess references
Note from previous chapters- The relationship between Amy an Greyson is far more complicated that the fanfic depicted, Amy is the descendent of the girl that Greyson unintentionally traumatized her thus giving Amy an inheritance of revenge. Amy is chief of the kitsune horse lords and chief is family based so in other words they all have grudge with people like Greyson. Despite their nature, they actually very innocent people even they lie to point of eliminated there own family line because they just unable to foresight. Amy definitely needs therapy from transgenerational trauma that lead her to become hypersensitive to other peoples reactions. Deer demons actually existed was before Greyson, back in medieval times they actually hunt for beautiful women and horses to do their unspeakable actions and sacrifice them to gain strength. There demons of innocence and beauty, is intresting because deer are innocent and majestic. The morvudd is preference to find in the witcher but there depictions in this fid are deer demons. several centuries before the calamity there was a sadistic horseman cult that for the deer devils. There actions are worst than Greyson, they preform sadistic domination to their horses for submission, sometimes they straight up leave the weak ones for dead if the enemy attacks the cult. They sacrifice horses and feast on their flesh to gain demonic strength and range, they attack woman for being loudly sweet and innocent. They have lack of sympathy for all life. Likely the cult become extinct in 1600's-1700's but the cult has poison the moron day rangers way of life (attacking girls for being sweet and care about horses, leaving horses to die when the master is in danger). This is what happened to Greyson, he was stigmatized because his duty as a ranger has being poisoned by the cult of the deer demon- no wonder he become a deer demon itself. This explains why he have a lack of value of horse before his dying redemption, because of the domination part. Ironicly horses in heartland (Great) plains where the horse lords deeply respected are symbol of freedom and escape from attachments and materialism (tibet-mongol Buddhist influenced). Horse at first gains the the the unaware to aware negative connotation (understand suffering) and accept it, later spread others about compassion as wisdom to gain enlightenment.
does this mean Steven is a Buddhist because he works as a witch doctor/ shaman of the Kitsune tribe, yeah in zen part. At least he don't need therapy any more cause he's in better place.
