Judgment Day: Part 1- Reentry

3rd person POV
As the comet appeared in the distance, the team tensed, they had to stop this.
"You know I've never been more impressed with a living being then i have with you all, but i'm afraid playtime is over.
A cage fell from the ceiling, trapping the entire time in one fell swoop. The bars began to glow and released a humming sound, one that Charlie knew all too well.
"How did you get this cage!' Charlie demanded.
"You think your Lati Friend is the only one who came up with that tech, I admit he beat Colress to it by 20 years but It doesn't mean it would be impossible to figure out" Giovanni scoffed.
"Z, what do we do, why are….." Kelly began to ask before she was cut off.
"You won't get away with this!' Z screamed at the top of his lungs.
"I can and I will '' Giovanni dismissed as he turned to the window and activated the console as the comet became larger in the window, it was coming faster than anticipated.
"Listen, he doesn't know i'm not a shifter, we get one shot at this so we wait for an opening" Z explained telepathically.
Givanni gave a sight and turned to the team, his face softened as he said "I was telling the truth when I said you impressed me, I never thought you all would become my single biggest and most damaging threat, while my servents or those leaders who proceded me would chalk up you victories to dumb lack or incompatence of their subordianants. I know better. You you six and your Lati friend along with the Zoroark from earth 62 derailed nearly all of my well laid plans and withstood every conceivable attack I could throw your way"
"You sound almost sad that this is over" Lucina noted.
"You know, that is a good observation, indeed, it's a shame you did so well only to come up short, but the sad truth is that all of it ends now" Giovanni admitted as a technician stood up and walked up to him.
"Alpha 54z is in rage sir" The technician informed him.
"Very good, begin the extraction" Giovanni ordered as he dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
Giovanni turned back to the team and said "I like those who show strength, as a reward I'll let you watch as my master arrives"
On cue a massive metallic ring rose out of the floor, it looked like a portal larger than even Z had ever seen. Giovanni gazed at it intently with a wicked smile, the moment he had waited 25 long years ago was finally upon him.
As the comet's energy was sucked off into a satellite dish, the portal began to glow, a small black ball of shadow energy appeared in the center. As it began to grow, the orb pulsed repeatedly. It was beating like a heart, the comet was nearly half its original size.
Z's eyes glowed as the air distorted around the cage like a heat shadow, he had disguised the cage with an illusion to give then a chance. He then summoned energy in his paws and slashed the bars open. The computer announced "energy transfer 45% complete"
"Kelly, you and Charlie zap the cables above the portal to cut it off from the comet, Nixillium you smash the window with an overheat, Lucina you create an psychic bubble so we can stay put as everyone else is sucked into space" Z warned as he laid out the plan.
"3, 2 1, NOW" Charlie yelled as he and Kelly summoned every last drop of electricity they had and fired at the roof where the cables were.
"WHAT" Giovanni yelled as Nixiilum fired an overheat attack in a beam, the bluish white beam shattering the window and sucking everyone but the team out into space. Giovanni was the last to lose his footing but just as he and his two remaining guards were sucked into space the red robed Mewtwo used his stretching arm to shove Giovanni back inside. The metal shutters closed the hoe as Giovanni fell to the ground face first, the artificial gravity and air restored thanks to the Icarus's emergency systems.
"We did it" Lucina said as she lowered her bubble, however she noticed the orb in the portal ring was still growing.
Giovanni was chuckling as he sucked air into his lung "you haven't won, you've only delayed the inevitable" Giovanni announced proudley.
"Y-you mean" Z stammered, afraid to finish the sentence.
Giovanni let loose a wicked laugh and said "we only needed half of the comet's power, the rest would've opened it faster but it doesn't matter, the portal is self sustaining now, even if this entire station is destroyed you can't stop it!"

3rd person POV
Thousands of feet below the Icarus, Connor and Calrok slammed into the ground, as the pushed away from each other, now staring each other down in the massive crater their landing had created.
"Your story ends HERE!" Calrok threatened.
"You can say that kind of stuff all you want, you can try to dissuade me with all the crass and horrid insults you can muster, but unlike you, I have something driving me to win,I have the one thing you will never have!" Connor argued.
Calrok scoffed and asked "what's that?"
"I have people I care about, for their sake, for the sake of everyone and everything that has been sacrificed against you and Giratina, I CANNOT AND WILL NOT LOSE" Connor yelled, his eyes burning with determination.
"Nice theory, let's test it…" Calrok mocked as he activated the mega stone around his neck, the greenish blue parts of its body changed to a lime green. Horns grow from the side of its head and runed along then mega Latios's jawline. He lost the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now marked the forward point of his wings instead of its chest.
Connor however didn't mega evolve in response, he was waiting for the right time, immediately showing his more tactical approach to the fight.
With his claws glowing green Calrok charged at Connor, only for him to instantly vanish as Calrok slashed. Even in his mega form Connor was still faster than him.
The two Lati charged at each other over and over, Calrok finally grew agitated and activated both of his herd inherited abilities. One was the same white eye as Connor possessed, the other was a black orb resembling an eye on his forehead. The boost in power giving him the extra speed he needed.
The black orb glowed as it poured shadow energy into his body, despite the boost Connor had no trouble matching everything he threw at him.
"JUST DIE ALREADY" he demanded as the orb's glow intensified, but as with most shadow energy the power began distorting the fabric of reality around them, as Connor ramed Calrok with a Giga Impact they were warped into another dimension….

3rd person POV
As the crystalline bloom of the Ultimate Weapon unfolded in Geosenge town two Lati warped into the sky above.
Connor scoffed as he took in his surroundings, this warping was far from ideal, sooner or later they'd end up in a universe with no air or even an earth at all.
He was snapped from that though as Calrok hit him with a purplish black luster plurge. He grunted as he blasted him away with his luster plurge. Then using Recover to prepare for the next bout.
Calrok charged him again, warping elsewhere as the ultimate weapon's red beam engulfed the area below…..

3rd person POV
The next world was a snow covered tundra as far as the eye could see, below a few pillars and rock walls led to the temple in the Sinjoh ruins.
Connor shook the snow from his eyes just as Calrok charged another luster plurge and fired, hitting him in the face as he plummeted into the snow, a crater forming in the white wasteland.
"Had enough?" Calrok taunted.
Connor levitated out of the snow, short of breath from the cold, after a gasp of air he managed to say "Not…..quite…..yet"
He activated his right eye for only a moment before concealing it again, creating a cone of air around him like a blanket and crashing into him with the force of a hurricane…

The final new earth was a land of floating islands, a shattered jagged pathway leading to massive blue tower, atop it an Axew and a Chimchar were facing Dialga, however his skin was black and his glowing stripes of power orange. As the tower trembled a vortex of red clouds lashed the area with purple bolts of lighting.
Connor's eyes went wide, this was the last straw, this warping had to end. "TIME TO END THIS" he screamed as he poured power into another Giga Impact.
"YOU READ MY MIND!" Calrock retorted as he charged his own Giga Impact.
The two attacks collided in the center of the red clouds causing a massive explosion that was still hidden by the vortex…..

As the smoke cleared the two lati saw that they were back to the starting location of their fight. However as Connor regained his bearings Calrok rapidly charged him and slashed his neck, knocking his mega stone away as it plummeted into the forest below.
"Not so tough now!" Calrok scolded as he blasted Connor again.
"Too afraid for a fair fight" Cnnnor questioned as he spat blood out.
"I don't need to justify anything to a Latios who puts humans before his own kind, humans took everything from me, and you value you humanity more than your own son" Calrok jeered.
Connor gave a cocky smile and said "You know for all your talk of tactics and how determined you were to remove my mega stone, you never considered if i had a way to retrieve it"
The metal collar flew up on its own, psychically attracted to its owner, Calrok gasped as it returned to Connor's neck, a fire burned in connor's eyes, his determination was absolute and he was ending this now.
"YOU WANT ME BEST, HERE IT IS" Connor announced as his mega stone glowed with a red light, he unleashed his trump card, mega evolving as he became identical to Calrok's mega form. The sheer power of his transformation creating shockwaves as a massive pillar of light shot up, splitting the sky above them. Connor then pushed his power to the absolute limit, activating both of the eye traits inherited from his parents. The light around him grew even more blinding, his form disappearing into the pillar of energy until nothing could be seen but the outline of his form.
Calrok could only scream as Connor unleashed a Luster Plurge at him, the golden beam of light vaporising Giovanni's second in command in a single shot.
He then turned his attention skyward, channeling all of the remaining power at his disposal, he fired a final, bullet trained sized beam at the Icarus in orbit. He saw the explosion from ground level, he had crippiled its propulsion, hopefully the others had accomplished their goal.
The light around him faded as he slowly descended to the ground, his mega form dissolving. All he could muster was "good luck Z" before passing out, completely spent…..

Z's POV
"Your little charade ends now" Giovanni said as he began to summon a red energy in his hands, however before he could attack us, a massive tremor shook the station. The computer siren's balred as it announced "propulsion systems failing brace for imminent impact"
"NOOOOOO" Giovanni screamed as the roof collapsed on top of him, I mustered everything I had left and warped us away. Felling weak out as soon as we arrived back on the ground, as iI saw the Icarus coming down in a flaming ball of steel. I created a barrier and Lucina created on above me, as the dome hit i blacked out from the strain of making the shield..
As I came to i saw the mangaleed pieces of the dome sprawled out for miles around us, the rest of the team was just waking up but my fears were confirmed as a massive explosion erupted from the rubble, revealing Giovanni standing next to the blob of shadow energy the portal created, he limed forward with a massive gash on his face, his suit torn and his face scared, but alive nonetheless.
Giovanni pointed to the portal and let out a psychotic laugh saying "I told you there is no stopping this, but you will not be alive to see my master's arrival"
In a flash of red light Giovanni's form changed, becoming avian as he lifted off the ground with his forming wings, shadow energy swirling around him. As he finished transforming, I gasped, it all made sense now, he could absorb as much shadow energy as he wanted, his body would simply drain the life force out of living things if the power damaged his DNA.
The Pokémon in front of me looked like a mixture of a dragon and a bird, The back of its body was black with white spots along the wings and back; its front, head, and neck are bright red with branching, black lines throughout. It has a pointed, beak-like snout, bright blue eyes, a black, forward-curving horn over each eye, and a feathery gray ruff encircling its neck and billowing out over its back. Its wings each had three spikes along the bottom edge near the body and five large, black claws on the tip. It had small, birdlike legs with gray talons. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backwards. Its tail was similar in structure to its wings, including the five claws on the tip. No other Pokémon looked even close to evil as this one did.
Giovanni had taken the form of Yveltal, the physical embodiment of destruction itself. He let out a blood curdling screech and said "YOU ARE NOT WORTHY TO EXIST IN THE NEW WORLD, IN MY WORLD, YOU 'RE FATES WILL BE THE SAME AS ALL OTHERS WHO HAVE OPPOSED ME BEFORE, PREPARE TO JOIN THEM, PREPARE TO DIE!"
Author's Note-tell me what you think of this chapter, you may be asking why Connor shot down the dome but he thought it was the best option at the time, and if he didn't Giovanni would've blasted the team with an Oblivion Wing.
