Author's notes: OKAY, OKAY, For those of you who are wondering who in the
world is Shadow, Lia, and Carbos, Carbos was Kryo's evil brother who force
Kryo and the others to become wolf demons. Shadow and Lia were both part
of Kryo's pack before the pack you all know came to the pokemon world, both
were killed, Shadow was-
Kryo: HEY, WOLF, DON'T RUIN WRITTEN IN SHADOW FOR EVERYONE!!!!!
Wolf: Oops, well sorry, guys, but Kryo does a point, you'll have to read "Written in Shadow" to learn more about these guys. Note that a part of this chapter has just talking between Mystic, Silver, and Saku (Yes, I added yet another character) within their minds. Second I'm sorry about the how late this chapter of the moonlight thief is, I can get sided tracked really easily. Now on with the final battle.
Chapter 8: The Moon within the Storm
Silver could sleep that night, and decide walk up to the wolf demons' den. She walked through the wood with a Haunter by her side. "Master, where are you going?" The Haunter asked as Silver started to climb up mountain towards the den. A shadow flew over head and landed close by, "Hey, Silver, need a lift." Nightwing called down to her, and Silver climbed till she made it up to him. When Silver jumped on his back, the dark Dragonite cried out his roar and took flight in the air.
Mystic was standing outside of the den when Nightwing landed. "Silver, the stars told me you would come." Mystic said, But Silver and Nightwing were puzzled. Mystic started into the den and Silver followed. The den was large and had torches burning around the den with a small fire in the middle of the Den. Twister and Kero were sitting on the outside, beside them was the two black wolf demons, Lara beside Kero and Trev beside Twister. Cara was sitting in front of Kryo who was in between the rest of the wolf demons. "Welcome to our den, Silver." Kryo said with a welcoming voice.
Silver kneeled to Kryo, but Kryo just shook his head, "Silver, please raise, and listen to my words." Kyro said and Silver stood up in front of Kryo. "We know of the power that deep within you, and we asked of your help." Kryo said. Silver somewhat knew what power Kryo is talking about but she never knew what this power could do to her. "This power you have, Silver, will not harm you, but will help you." Kero spoke up, Then Mystic walked over to the wolf demons. "If I help you, will you guys answer a question for me?" Silver said, then Mystic nodded his head. "Your question is important so I'll answer your question." Mystic said, Mystic closes his eyes, "Silver, close your eyes and open you mind to heard my story." Silver did shut her eye and listen to her mind.
* * *
In Different worlds in different universes, there are the portal guardians. They watch over their world for imbalance between the light and darkness. In our world, Saku would watch the stars for their stories of the troubles and peace throughout Teros. In your world, you, Silver, are the portal guardian here, and your dreams tell you about the imbalance of your world
"You mean I can see the dangers here."
Yes, Silver, you can, your dreams have told you about our coming for years and it came true. Now your dreams are warning you of danger. I can see your dreams have warned you about a dark shadow that cast itself over your world and our world. Yes, I see him now, It's Carbos, His shadow is X8, he's here to steal your powers and get his revenge on the wolf demons.
"How can I stop him?"
Carbos is coming with his army, it's time to call up your courage and If you want help many from other world will help, Gabe is an angelic wolf, his courage was what save us in Teros and will be willing to help us, Talon is the Lion Demon of-
"No, I can fight him, I am at my strongest under the full moon, and I can't see risking other lives."
"But-"
"Mystic, listen to the portal guardian,"
"Who are you?"
"I am Saku, The portal guardian of Teros, and I ask to come to your world."
"If you can help me understand these powers I've got, You can enter my world, Saku."
"It's a Deal, now I'll tell you what to say."
* * *
Mystic open his eyes but Silver kept her eyes close, "So, what did she said about bring few of our people over?" Kero asked Mystic. Mystic just brought his hand up, and watched Silver. Silver opened her eyes and found a dark opening in the cave.
"Through Time and space, I call upon those who's hearts are true, and their minds are noble. Open a portal and bring forth those for whom I call."
A bright light flashes throughout the den, and blinded everyone except for Silver. A shadow appeared from the light and no one tell who Silver allowed through the portal. When Silver closed the portal, Another dark wolf like Mystic stood in front of them. He had on blue jean that had dry mud all over them, and he had a star necklace around his neck. "Thank you for opening the portal for me, Silver." the dark wolf said to her, and Silver nodded her head. "Saku, Old friend, how's our old home?" Mystic asked the dark wolf, and all of the wolf demons' mouths dropped.
"Not as well as we hoped, Mystic, Carbos's shadow is trying to get back to our world, so that's why I asked to come here to help in the fight." Saku told him, Then Kryo stood up. "Saku, what happen to your demon wings, when we left home to come here, you still were a wolf demon and now you're a Dark wolf again?"
"It's long story, but now is not time," Saku said, then he turned to Silver, "Silver, heed my words, a storm will over cast sunset sky, you must try to find a way to get X8 to where the Moon is within the storm." Silver just nodded her head and turned towards where she entered. "I must fight my own fight, Kryo, please don't interfere with my fight with X8, you guys will have to find away to fight Carbos's shadow" She said, then she walked out of the den.
* * *
The day was unforgiving to the twenty-five Rockets who were flying toward Moon's gap, the storm's lightning drew out fear in the hearts of some of the rockets. Lightning bolts strike the ground as Members from Firebolt Marched behind Silver and Jill. Silver knew she had to find someway to pull X8 of the main battle and force him to follow her. The two groups met close to where Silver rides at night. X8 was on a Rapidash in front of his troops while Silver was on Twilight in front of her friends. X8 and Silver stared each other down for a minute as lightning flashed in the darken sky. "My Sister, I'm giving you this last chance, Surrender and pledge your loyalty to Team Rocket, I will make sure you'll die a quick death."
Silver look at her bother with hatred towards him, but there was something strange about him. There was something with him, she could feel it, and she knew what she had to do. "I'll never surrender to Team Rocket," She yells to him, "I ratter die free." Lightning flashed through the sky once and thunder crashed down to the ground as both screamed a commend and the two armies started to run across the empty fields where the battle met.
* * *
Devil watch the battle from the cliff with the rest of Silver's pokemon and Kero was standing with them, too. Inside the den Kryo and the other wolf demons along with Mystic and Saku was awaiting the portal to the world of Shadows to open. Saku was chanting aloud in their native tongue, Kryo started growl lightly, and the other stood their ground and watch. A patch of dark light started to pierce through the cave wall and Kryo drew his demonic sword. "My brother, It's time to stop this terror you've been spreading." Kryo growled as the portal started opening wider.
Saku finished the finally phase and fell with exhaustion as the portal was becoming fully open. "Kryo, Mystic, The portal is open, Stop Carbos from reaching the gate to our world." Saku gasped.
Kryo was the first who jumped in then Mystic followed him and the portal closed. The wolf demons gathered around Saku. "Don't worry," He panted as he started to get up, "Mystic has mind link, He will contact us went they have defeat him once and for all."
* * *
"This isn't fair," The young white wolf howled, "I should have went with Kryo and Mystic." He punched his fist into the rock and the rock cracked up from the pressure. Backfire walks over the young white wolf and place his one paw on his back. "Don't take it so hard, I'm mad, too." He said. Kero looked at the houndoom and the other houndoom that was behind him. "What are you mad about, Backfire?" Kero asked. Backfire, followed by Trinity, looked to where the fighting was. "My master wouldn't let me fight along side her, I've been protecting her since she was seven." Backfire said, then a determined growl came across. "No, I don't want to stay behind and watch another friend die."
Backfire let out a howl and started towards the battle. Trinity and Kero looked at each over, then Trinity let out a howl as well and ran after her brother. "Devil, Nightwing, you're in charge of the pokemon till I come back." Kero said with his back turn towards the den and took off to catch up with the two houndooms. Cara ran out of the den after the three left and watched at Kero disappeared into the storm, "I hope he knows what he's doing." She said and stood along with the pokemon.
* * *
Team Rocket's pokemon in the skies clashed it out with Firebolt's pokemon while the fight on the ground started to turn harsh. Ethan yelled orders from his Zapdos as he looked around for the flying master of team Rocket. A Fearow pecked at the Zapdos and flew ahead of the Zapdos. "Zapdos, Follow him!" Ethan Yelled as the Zapdos started to go faster after the Fearow.
The Zapdos finally catch up with the fearow and started to charge up. "Zapdos, Get ready." Ethan said he called out a Charizard. Ethan jumped on to the Charizard and follow close behind the Zapdos. The rider on the Fearow look to see what was following him. "What the. The legendary Bird of thunder?!" He Yelled and Ethan just grinned. "Zapdos, Fire" Ethan yelled and used thunder attack on The Fearow. The attack hit dead on as the Rider jumped off and calls out another flying pokemon. Ethan couldn't see it at first, then the storm's lightning crashed down upon the pokemon and force it's rider off again Ethan whistled for his Zapdos and It flew towards the falling rider. A Rocket saw the fearow's rider fall and get catch by the Zapdos. "Our leader is captured, Retreat!" The rocket yelled as the group of rockets in the sky retreated towards south.
Ethan looks towards the fleeing Rocket then look at the rocket he captured. The rocket looked up at Ethan with pure hatred. "Call out your fastest flying pokemon." Ethan orders him to do, and the rocket called back out his Fearow. He nodded his head to his Zapdos and the Zapdos placed the rocket on the Fearow. "Leave this place and never come back." Ethan yelled and the rocket's pokemon just stood there for a minute. "I'll say this, Kid, I'll be back but next time I'll only ask for a battle against you." He said as his Fearow flew off after the other Rockets who retreated. Don't worry, Josh, I'll be ready, He thought and he looked on to his cheering force. "My friends this sky war is over, To the ground." He command to the fifty and all of the flying pokemon dived towards the battle.
* * *
Silver rode around on Twilight as they stomped on their enemies, guns fired was around her as she saw many people on both sides dying around her. She knew Kayla was one of the snipers chosen for their side but she couldn't see her or her Rapidash anywhere. She looks around and saw Jill fighting group of rockets with a sword, then she saw him. Now's my chance, she though as she had Twilight run away from the battle. "Nice try, My sister." X8 said as he followed her on his Rapidash.
The words of Saku keep playing in her head as she rode far from the battle. Where the Moon is within the Storm, She thought, What the hell does that mean. She looked behind her to see X8 was behind her, He was. Silver soon felt a new strength from within, but where was it coming from. She looked up a saw a clearing in the storm where the full moon was visible. Silver jumped off of Twilight and X8 did the same.
"It ends now, X8." Silver says as she gets ready to fight him. X8 revealed a wicked grin and drew out his dagger. "Yes, X7, it does end now." Lightning flash behind him to reveal a shadow with wings like Kryo and the other wolf demons. Silver feared this more than she feared team rocket, but then she heard a voice unlike any other voice she heard before. "Silver, Please help me." The voice said. What's going on? She thought as X8 started to charge towards her.
* * *
"So this is the World of Shadows?" Mystic said, but Kryo didn't that any heed to what Mystic was saying. Kryo remember this place, it was the only place where you could go to the Heavens or to the fires of Hell. "So, The young Kryo is dead again?" A haunting voice called out, As the Shadow appear from out of no where. "No, you not suppose to died yet." He said. Kryo growled lightly, "I can said the least, Reaper." The Shadow lifted his head and shows his face, a bleached skull. Mystic took a step back from the Reaper, but Kryo stood still.
"I thought you had a job of taking the souls of the dead to heaven or hell?" Kryo growled. The reaper pointed his boned hands at Kryo. "Are you still ungrateful about the gift I've given you many years ago, Kryo?" Kryo started growl louder, but was able to calm down. "No, expect for the fact I'M A MONSTER THANKS TO YOU." Kryo's roar was so hard that it shook the very world. "Well, I see you still have no respect for the souls who are wandering thought this land." Reaper said calmly.
The reaper pointed his scythe to Kryo, "Besides you know I could cut you down where you stand." Kryo growled louder towards him then Mystic placed himself in the middle of what almost became a fight. "Okay, Kryo, Death is not your enemy, remember Carbos is." Mystic said as he held Kryo back, then he felt the reaper's boned hand touched his shoulder. "You are looking for the one who cheated death?" Reaper asked him. Mystic can't speak a word to the reaper, but Kryo calm down enough to talk. "What do you mean the one who cheated death?" Kryo asked, then the reaper started to move towards a soul who sat there crying, "This is Blank, or where those humans would called him 'X8'."
Mystic gasped, "This is the real X8!?" The reaper nodded, "yes, but I was to sent the one of cheated death to hell but he ran and took the place of Blank before I could stop him." Kryo growled and started to pace back and forth while stomping his feet to the ground of the shadow world. Mystic sat beside the lost soul, but this soul looks or at least smells familiar. "What's wrong, Mystic, don't you remember him." The reaper said, "He's the reincarnation of your friend, Shadow, the heavens decided to him a second chance at life when his old life was lose."
The soul looked up at Mystic, and he saw it in his blue eyes that it was Shadow. Kryo looked at the reaper, "Can he be taken out the shadow world, Reaper?" The skull nodded, "Yes, but he'll need a body."
* * *
Silver fell to the ground while X8 and her struggle against the dagger aimed for her heart. I won't lose, not yet, She thought as she used her legs to throw him off of her. X8 landed on his feet as Silver quickly got up with her daggers in both of her hands. X8 drew another dagger as well and both of them charge at full speed towards each other. Their daggers block each other as they fought, Silver knew X8 was not going to give up and she wasn't going to stop even if her arms were cut off. "Very good, X7, you've improved since our battle." X8 said with an evil grin on his face, Silver pushed him back then threw one of her daggers at him. X8 catch the dagger in mid-air and threw it back at her. The dagger was impaled in her shoulder and fell to her knees from the pain.
She pulled the dagger out, but the wound still hurt like the burning hell itself. "Poor sister, it will be a shame to see you died." He said as he lifts his dagger over her head. The dagger start to come down fast as she dodge the dagger quickly but the dagger slashed her left eye. She screamed in pain and tried to see through her eye but all she could see was the blood coming down over her face. "This has been entertaining, Sister, but your time is up." X8 said then the dagger came closer to her. A hand stops the dagger from going forward. X8 turned around to see Kero stand lifting him above the ground, "You'll never hurt her as long as I'm around." He growled at X8 then threw a hard punch in his face. Then Backfire and Trinity jumped beside him and shot a fire blast at him sending him back ten feet.
X8 slowing got up, and a dagger was impaled into his chest. He looked up and saw Silver with blood running down her face from the cut over her eye. "I've won, X8, you've lose." She said as he fell back. Silver walk a few step then she fell, Backfire ran up to her side and tried to lift her up. Kero grabbed her and took off with her in his arm and the two houndooms followed behind him.
* * *
Dark Wolf with black demonic wings fell back into the world of the shadows, "Damn it, I'll take over a soul's body." He said as he searched around. "Carbos." A voice yelled then He looked up to see Kryo, Mystic, The reaper, and Blank's soul in front of him. "It's over, Carbos, You've lose to a human girl." Kryo said then threw a mystical rope over him. The rope binds to him instantly as he struggled to get it off. "What magic is this?" He barked. Mystic laughed, "That rope binds to those with an evil heart, Carbos."
The Reaper step up to Carbos, "It's time to suffer your death, Carbos of Teros." He said as he magically followed the reaper to the fire gate of hell. Carbos barked loudly as he slowly enter the gate following the reaper. Mystic sighed, "The mission has ended, but what about Blank."
The reaper return and open the gate to X8's body, "When you enter your body, it will heal and your heart will be to the light.' He said to the soul. The Soul nodded his head, and entered the gate, and then a portal was open. "This gate will take you both back but to Blank's body, take the body away from the battle." The reaper said as Mystic walked through first, Kryo followed then look at Him, "Death, I am grateful for the life that you have gave me, but-" The reaper nodded, "I know you'll still hate me for who I am."
* * *
The battle ended quickly after both of the Xs disappeared from the battle to fight out their battle on their own. Team Rocket retreated from the battle, and the Firebolt member left, including Kayla, Jill, Ben, Ethan, and Tai gather around after searching for an hour. "Do you think she's dead?" Ben asked Jill, but she just shook her head. Kayla looked at mountain as the sun started to rise above the clearing. "If anything she's alive somewhere hiding." Jill said, and then Tai looked at the group. "I must take my leave, so long." He said as walk off into the woods and disappear. "I must go too, there's lots of Fox hunts that need to be stopped." Kayla said. Jill nodded her head, "We miss you, and if we find Silver, we contact you."
Kayla nodded in respond and jump on Trails and rode off towards the mountains. "Ethan, does the wolf demons know about Silver?" Ben asked him but Ethan shook his head. "No, they disappeared too, there's nothing there but rocks and water." He said. Jill was now confused, Where is everyone, She thought as she follow the rest of Firebolt to camp.
End notes: The last chapter is coming up, Is Silver alive or dead? What happen to the Wolf demons, all will be reveal in the last chapter of Legend of the Moonlight Thief.
Kryo: HEY, WOLF, DON'T RUIN WRITTEN IN SHADOW FOR EVERYONE!!!!!
Wolf: Oops, well sorry, guys, but Kryo does a point, you'll have to read "Written in Shadow" to learn more about these guys. Note that a part of this chapter has just talking between Mystic, Silver, and Saku (Yes, I added yet another character) within their minds. Second I'm sorry about the how late this chapter of the moonlight thief is, I can get sided tracked really easily. Now on with the final battle.
Chapter 8: The Moon within the Storm
Silver could sleep that night, and decide walk up to the wolf demons' den. She walked through the wood with a Haunter by her side. "Master, where are you going?" The Haunter asked as Silver started to climb up mountain towards the den. A shadow flew over head and landed close by, "Hey, Silver, need a lift." Nightwing called down to her, and Silver climbed till she made it up to him. When Silver jumped on his back, the dark Dragonite cried out his roar and took flight in the air.
Mystic was standing outside of the den when Nightwing landed. "Silver, the stars told me you would come." Mystic said, But Silver and Nightwing were puzzled. Mystic started into the den and Silver followed. The den was large and had torches burning around the den with a small fire in the middle of the Den. Twister and Kero were sitting on the outside, beside them was the two black wolf demons, Lara beside Kero and Trev beside Twister. Cara was sitting in front of Kryo who was in between the rest of the wolf demons. "Welcome to our den, Silver." Kryo said with a welcoming voice.
Silver kneeled to Kryo, but Kryo just shook his head, "Silver, please raise, and listen to my words." Kyro said and Silver stood up in front of Kryo. "We know of the power that deep within you, and we asked of your help." Kryo said. Silver somewhat knew what power Kryo is talking about but she never knew what this power could do to her. "This power you have, Silver, will not harm you, but will help you." Kero spoke up, Then Mystic walked over to the wolf demons. "If I help you, will you guys answer a question for me?" Silver said, then Mystic nodded his head. "Your question is important so I'll answer your question." Mystic said, Mystic closes his eyes, "Silver, close your eyes and open you mind to heard my story." Silver did shut her eye and listen to her mind.
* * *
In Different worlds in different universes, there are the portal guardians. They watch over their world for imbalance between the light and darkness. In our world, Saku would watch the stars for their stories of the troubles and peace throughout Teros. In your world, you, Silver, are the portal guardian here, and your dreams tell you about the imbalance of your world
"You mean I can see the dangers here."
Yes, Silver, you can, your dreams have told you about our coming for years and it came true. Now your dreams are warning you of danger. I can see your dreams have warned you about a dark shadow that cast itself over your world and our world. Yes, I see him now, It's Carbos, His shadow is X8, he's here to steal your powers and get his revenge on the wolf demons.
"How can I stop him?"
Carbos is coming with his army, it's time to call up your courage and If you want help many from other world will help, Gabe is an angelic wolf, his courage was what save us in Teros and will be willing to help us, Talon is the Lion Demon of-
"No, I can fight him, I am at my strongest under the full moon, and I can't see risking other lives."
"But-"
"Mystic, listen to the portal guardian,"
"Who are you?"
"I am Saku, The portal guardian of Teros, and I ask to come to your world."
"If you can help me understand these powers I've got, You can enter my world, Saku."
"It's a Deal, now I'll tell you what to say."
* * *
Mystic open his eyes but Silver kept her eyes close, "So, what did she said about bring few of our people over?" Kero asked Mystic. Mystic just brought his hand up, and watched Silver. Silver opened her eyes and found a dark opening in the cave.
"Through Time and space, I call upon those who's hearts are true, and their minds are noble. Open a portal and bring forth those for whom I call."
A bright light flashes throughout the den, and blinded everyone except for Silver. A shadow appeared from the light and no one tell who Silver allowed through the portal. When Silver closed the portal, Another dark wolf like Mystic stood in front of them. He had on blue jean that had dry mud all over them, and he had a star necklace around his neck. "Thank you for opening the portal for me, Silver." the dark wolf said to her, and Silver nodded her head. "Saku, Old friend, how's our old home?" Mystic asked the dark wolf, and all of the wolf demons' mouths dropped.
"Not as well as we hoped, Mystic, Carbos's shadow is trying to get back to our world, so that's why I asked to come here to help in the fight." Saku told him, Then Kryo stood up. "Saku, what happen to your demon wings, when we left home to come here, you still were a wolf demon and now you're a Dark wolf again?"
"It's long story, but now is not time," Saku said, then he turned to Silver, "Silver, heed my words, a storm will over cast sunset sky, you must try to find a way to get X8 to where the Moon is within the storm." Silver just nodded her head and turned towards where she entered. "I must fight my own fight, Kryo, please don't interfere with my fight with X8, you guys will have to find away to fight Carbos's shadow" She said, then she walked out of the den.
* * *
The day was unforgiving to the twenty-five Rockets who were flying toward Moon's gap, the storm's lightning drew out fear in the hearts of some of the rockets. Lightning bolts strike the ground as Members from Firebolt Marched behind Silver and Jill. Silver knew she had to find someway to pull X8 of the main battle and force him to follow her. The two groups met close to where Silver rides at night. X8 was on a Rapidash in front of his troops while Silver was on Twilight in front of her friends. X8 and Silver stared each other down for a minute as lightning flashed in the darken sky. "My Sister, I'm giving you this last chance, Surrender and pledge your loyalty to Team Rocket, I will make sure you'll die a quick death."
Silver look at her bother with hatred towards him, but there was something strange about him. There was something with him, she could feel it, and she knew what she had to do. "I'll never surrender to Team Rocket," She yells to him, "I ratter die free." Lightning flashed through the sky once and thunder crashed down to the ground as both screamed a commend and the two armies started to run across the empty fields where the battle met.
* * *
Devil watch the battle from the cliff with the rest of Silver's pokemon and Kero was standing with them, too. Inside the den Kryo and the other wolf demons along with Mystic and Saku was awaiting the portal to the world of Shadows to open. Saku was chanting aloud in their native tongue, Kryo started growl lightly, and the other stood their ground and watch. A patch of dark light started to pierce through the cave wall and Kryo drew his demonic sword. "My brother, It's time to stop this terror you've been spreading." Kryo growled as the portal started opening wider.
Saku finished the finally phase and fell with exhaustion as the portal was becoming fully open. "Kryo, Mystic, The portal is open, Stop Carbos from reaching the gate to our world." Saku gasped.
Kryo was the first who jumped in then Mystic followed him and the portal closed. The wolf demons gathered around Saku. "Don't worry," He panted as he started to get up, "Mystic has mind link, He will contact us went they have defeat him once and for all."
* * *
"This isn't fair," The young white wolf howled, "I should have went with Kryo and Mystic." He punched his fist into the rock and the rock cracked up from the pressure. Backfire walks over the young white wolf and place his one paw on his back. "Don't take it so hard, I'm mad, too." He said. Kero looked at the houndoom and the other houndoom that was behind him. "What are you mad about, Backfire?" Kero asked. Backfire, followed by Trinity, looked to where the fighting was. "My master wouldn't let me fight along side her, I've been protecting her since she was seven." Backfire said, then a determined growl came across. "No, I don't want to stay behind and watch another friend die."
Backfire let out a howl and started towards the battle. Trinity and Kero looked at each over, then Trinity let out a howl as well and ran after her brother. "Devil, Nightwing, you're in charge of the pokemon till I come back." Kero said with his back turn towards the den and took off to catch up with the two houndooms. Cara ran out of the den after the three left and watched at Kero disappeared into the storm, "I hope he knows what he's doing." She said and stood along with the pokemon.
* * *
Team Rocket's pokemon in the skies clashed it out with Firebolt's pokemon while the fight on the ground started to turn harsh. Ethan yelled orders from his Zapdos as he looked around for the flying master of team Rocket. A Fearow pecked at the Zapdos and flew ahead of the Zapdos. "Zapdos, Follow him!" Ethan Yelled as the Zapdos started to go faster after the Fearow.
The Zapdos finally catch up with the fearow and started to charge up. "Zapdos, Get ready." Ethan said he called out a Charizard. Ethan jumped on to the Charizard and follow close behind the Zapdos. The rider on the Fearow look to see what was following him. "What the. The legendary Bird of thunder?!" He Yelled and Ethan just grinned. "Zapdos, Fire" Ethan yelled and used thunder attack on The Fearow. The attack hit dead on as the Rider jumped off and calls out another flying pokemon. Ethan couldn't see it at first, then the storm's lightning crashed down upon the pokemon and force it's rider off again Ethan whistled for his Zapdos and It flew towards the falling rider. A Rocket saw the fearow's rider fall and get catch by the Zapdos. "Our leader is captured, Retreat!" The rocket yelled as the group of rockets in the sky retreated towards south.
Ethan looks towards the fleeing Rocket then look at the rocket he captured. The rocket looked up at Ethan with pure hatred. "Call out your fastest flying pokemon." Ethan orders him to do, and the rocket called back out his Fearow. He nodded his head to his Zapdos and the Zapdos placed the rocket on the Fearow. "Leave this place and never come back." Ethan yelled and the rocket's pokemon just stood there for a minute. "I'll say this, Kid, I'll be back but next time I'll only ask for a battle against you." He said as his Fearow flew off after the other Rockets who retreated. Don't worry, Josh, I'll be ready, He thought and he looked on to his cheering force. "My friends this sky war is over, To the ground." He command to the fifty and all of the flying pokemon dived towards the battle.
* * *
Silver rode around on Twilight as they stomped on their enemies, guns fired was around her as she saw many people on both sides dying around her. She knew Kayla was one of the snipers chosen for their side but she couldn't see her or her Rapidash anywhere. She looks around and saw Jill fighting group of rockets with a sword, then she saw him. Now's my chance, she though as she had Twilight run away from the battle. "Nice try, My sister." X8 said as he followed her on his Rapidash.
The words of Saku keep playing in her head as she rode far from the battle. Where the Moon is within the Storm, She thought, What the hell does that mean. She looked behind her to see X8 was behind her, He was. Silver soon felt a new strength from within, but where was it coming from. She looked up a saw a clearing in the storm where the full moon was visible. Silver jumped off of Twilight and X8 did the same.
"It ends now, X8." Silver says as she gets ready to fight him. X8 revealed a wicked grin and drew out his dagger. "Yes, X7, it does end now." Lightning flash behind him to reveal a shadow with wings like Kryo and the other wolf demons. Silver feared this more than she feared team rocket, but then she heard a voice unlike any other voice she heard before. "Silver, Please help me." The voice said. What's going on? She thought as X8 started to charge towards her.
* * *
"So this is the World of Shadows?" Mystic said, but Kryo didn't that any heed to what Mystic was saying. Kryo remember this place, it was the only place where you could go to the Heavens or to the fires of Hell. "So, The young Kryo is dead again?" A haunting voice called out, As the Shadow appear from out of no where. "No, you not suppose to died yet." He said. Kryo growled lightly, "I can said the least, Reaper." The Shadow lifted his head and shows his face, a bleached skull. Mystic took a step back from the Reaper, but Kryo stood still.
"I thought you had a job of taking the souls of the dead to heaven or hell?" Kryo growled. The reaper pointed his boned hands at Kryo. "Are you still ungrateful about the gift I've given you many years ago, Kryo?" Kryo started growl louder, but was able to calm down. "No, expect for the fact I'M A MONSTER THANKS TO YOU." Kryo's roar was so hard that it shook the very world. "Well, I see you still have no respect for the souls who are wandering thought this land." Reaper said calmly.
The reaper pointed his scythe to Kryo, "Besides you know I could cut you down where you stand." Kryo growled louder towards him then Mystic placed himself in the middle of what almost became a fight. "Okay, Kryo, Death is not your enemy, remember Carbos is." Mystic said as he held Kryo back, then he felt the reaper's boned hand touched his shoulder. "You are looking for the one who cheated death?" Reaper asked him. Mystic can't speak a word to the reaper, but Kryo calm down enough to talk. "What do you mean the one who cheated death?" Kryo asked, then the reaper started to move towards a soul who sat there crying, "This is Blank, or where those humans would called him 'X8'."
Mystic gasped, "This is the real X8!?" The reaper nodded, "yes, but I was to sent the one of cheated death to hell but he ran and took the place of Blank before I could stop him." Kryo growled and started to pace back and forth while stomping his feet to the ground of the shadow world. Mystic sat beside the lost soul, but this soul looks or at least smells familiar. "What's wrong, Mystic, don't you remember him." The reaper said, "He's the reincarnation of your friend, Shadow, the heavens decided to him a second chance at life when his old life was lose."
The soul looked up at Mystic, and he saw it in his blue eyes that it was Shadow. Kryo looked at the reaper, "Can he be taken out the shadow world, Reaper?" The skull nodded, "Yes, but he'll need a body."

Silver fell to the ground while X8 and her struggle against the dagger aimed for her heart. I won't lose, not yet, She thought as she used her legs to throw him off of her. X8 landed on his feet as Silver quickly got up with her daggers in both of her hands. X8 drew another dagger as well and both of them charge at full speed towards each other. Their daggers block each other as they fought, Silver knew X8 was not going to give up and she wasn't going to stop even if her arms were cut off. "Very good, X7, you've improved since our battle." X8 said with an evil grin on his face, Silver pushed him back then threw one of her daggers at him. X8 catch the dagger in mid-air and threw it back at her. The dagger was impaled in her shoulder and fell to her knees from the pain.
She pulled the dagger out, but the wound still hurt like the burning hell itself. "Poor sister, it will be a shame to see you died." He said as he lifts his dagger over her head. The dagger start to come down fast as she dodge the dagger quickly but the dagger slashed her left eye. She screamed in pain and tried to see through her eye but all she could see was the blood coming down over her face. "This has been entertaining, Sister, but your time is up." X8 said then the dagger came closer to her. A hand stops the dagger from going forward. X8 turned around to see Kero stand lifting him above the ground, "You'll never hurt her as long as I'm around." He growled at X8 then threw a hard punch in his face. Then Backfire and Trinity jumped beside him and shot a fire blast at him sending him back ten feet.
X8 slowing got up, and a dagger was impaled into his chest. He looked up and saw Silver with blood running down her face from the cut over her eye. "I've won, X8, you've lose." She said as he fell back. Silver walk a few step then she fell, Backfire ran up to her side and tried to lift her up. Kero grabbed her and took off with her in his arm and the two houndooms followed behind him.

Dark Wolf with black demonic wings fell back into the world of the shadows, "Damn it, I'll take over a soul's body." He said as he searched around. "Carbos." A voice yelled then He looked up to see Kryo, Mystic, The reaper, and Blank's soul in front of him. "It's over, Carbos, You've lose to a human girl." Kryo said then threw a mystical rope over him. The rope binds to him instantly as he struggled to get it off. "What magic is this?" He barked. Mystic laughed, "That rope binds to those with an evil heart, Carbos."
The Reaper step up to Carbos, "It's time to suffer your death, Carbos of Teros." He said as he magically followed the reaper to the fire gate of hell. Carbos barked loudly as he slowly enter the gate following the reaper. Mystic sighed, "The mission has ended, but what about Blank."
The reaper return and open the gate to X8's body, "When you enter your body, it will heal and your heart will be to the light.' He said to the soul. The Soul nodded his head, and entered the gate, and then a portal was open. "This gate will take you both back but to Blank's body, take the body away from the battle." The reaper said as Mystic walked through first, Kryo followed then look at Him, "Death, I am grateful for the life that you have gave me, but-" The reaper nodded, "I know you'll still hate me for who I am."

The battle ended quickly after both of the Xs disappeared from the battle to fight out their battle on their own. Team Rocket retreated from the battle, and the Firebolt member left, including Kayla, Jill, Ben, Ethan, and Tai gather around after searching for an hour. "Do you think she's dead?" Ben asked Jill, but she just shook her head. Kayla looked at mountain as the sun started to rise above the clearing. "If anything she's alive somewhere hiding." Jill said, and then Tai looked at the group. "I must take my leave, so long." He said as walk off into the woods and disappear. "I must go too, there's lots of Fox hunts that need to be stopped." Kayla said. Jill nodded her head, "We miss you, and if we find Silver, we contact you."
Kayla nodded in respond and jump on Trails and rode off towards the mountains. "Ethan, does the wolf demons know about Silver?" Ben asked him but Ethan shook his head. "No, they disappeared too, there's nothing there but rocks and water." He said. Jill was now confused, Where is everyone, She thought as she follow the rest of Firebolt to camp.
