"This...is the end" Drake whispers to himself
"It is no delusion. Have you forgotten the Aegis' power. That power. Is it not the Aegis' power to erase worthless things from existence. Is that not the Architect's very will?" Amalthus says
"Pyra and Mythra aren't like that" Rex says
"I just realized. I know why Malos is so intent on destroying the world...it's you, Amalthus. Malos has become blinded by your influence" Pneuma says
"So what if he has? What's the problem? You've had your little trip around Alrest. You witnessed the state of Morytha. Mankind will never change, no matter how many millenia pass" Amalthus says
"You're the one that won't change. That's exactly why you hate the ones who try to" Rex says
"And why should I have to change? If I change. I lose everything. I lose my very self. Who in their right mind would accept such a fate? That's why..." Amalthus says. He was cut off by Zeke
"You're weak, old man. The weakest of us all" Zeke says. Akhos looked at Patroka once more. He fell to his knees. Drake and Electivire walked up to him
"I'm so sorry Akhos" Drake says
"Patroka..." Akhos says. He gets up and shoot an arrow into Amalthus but had no effect
"Akhos, stop. He's…" Jin says before he was grabbed by Amalthus' tentacle. "AKHOS!"
"L-Let me go, you monster" Akhos says
"How dare you? How dare you look down on me? You are a mere Blade whose very existence depends upon ours" Amalthus says
"ELECTIVIRE. USE ELECTROBALL!" Drake shouted. The Pokemon charged up a ball of energy
"Rex, he's got Akhos" Nia says. She throws her weapon at the boy and he catches it
"On it" Rex says. Electivire sends out an Electroball and Rex sends out a wave of energy. Both were waved away by the Praetor
"This is not funny. Let go of him" Nia says. She grabs her weapon and tries to fight him off but she was swatted away with ease. A wall of blue flames came towards the monster.
"This is a strange situation. Fighting so hard to save a member of Torna" Mórag says. A wall of orange fire came towards the other side
"I agree, but it's what is right" Jennifer says. Both walls of fire disappeared
"His aim is clear but so is ours" Mórag says. She and Brighid tried their best to fight off the Praetor. Magmortar fought off another from the other side. A tentacle was about to hit the Inquisitor of Mor Ardain but Poppi came in saving her. "Thanks"
"Friend welcome" Poppi says. Tora came running in
"Poppi. Now not time for kind manners" Tora says. Pandoria struck another tentacle that almost hit Poppi from behind
"I believe in returning favors. You owe me for that one" Pandoria says
"Much thanks" Poppi says. Another tentacle almost hit Pandoria but Wobbuffet was there to reflect it
"Wobba" Wobbuffet says
"Thank you. I owe you" Pandoria says.
"Who...who do you people think you are?" Amalthus asks. He sends out a wave of energy knocking everyone back
"He's...too strong" Jessie says.
"Incorrigible whelps...Why would humans side with Blades?" Amalthus asks
"Is he slow? He thinks it's a side to pick? We share a bond...you numbskull. We're all friends here. We're in this thing together" Zeke says
"Blades share a bond with humans. Just like Pokemon do with their trainers" Drake says.
"ELECTIVIRE!" Electivire shouts
"MAGMORTAR!" Magmortar shouts
"WOBBUFFET!" Wobbuffet shouts
"YEAH!" Meowth shouts
"Bonds? Of friendship? With these trinkets?" Amalthus asks. He took out Akhos' core crystal then threw him to the floor
"NO!" Drake shouts
"Akhos" Jin says
"That was...painful. If I were...still a Blade...this wouldn't..." Akhos says before he passes away.
"AKHOOOOOOOS" Jin shouts. He looks at Amalthus. "Amalthus"
"YOU ARE GONNA DIE FOR THAT!" Drake shouts. Rex and Drake get in front of Jin
"You stay right there" Rex says
"He's our own. So we should be the one to kick his ass" Drake says
"Drake. I have a heart no less human than…" Jin says
"Then you better take good care of it. That's why you came here right?" Rex asks
"Rex...Drake…" Jin says
"Don't worry Jin...I will avenge Akhos...Patroka...Mikhail...everyone you have ever loved" Drake says
"We're gonna break the five hundred year long curse. RIGHT HERE!" Rex shouts
"Yeah" Pneuma says
"Electi" Electivire says. Everyone gathers up with Rex and Drake
"Magmortar. Use Fire Wall" Jennifer says.
"Mag...MORTAR!" Magmortar shouts. She creates a red wall of fire on one side of Amalthus. Brighid creates a wall of blue fire on the other side
"Hey Mórag. Got any weapon I can use?" Jennifer asks. Mórag throws her one of her two whips. "Thanks"
"Alright. Use all your might" James says. He throws out a Pokeball to release Weezing. Jessie releases two Pokeballs to release Arbok and Seviper. A tentacle came flying in but it was dodged by the group.
"Zeke. Send a blast of electricity at Electivire. Electivire use Absorb" Drake says.
"Gotcha. Pandy" Zeke says.
"On it" Pandoria says. She sends a wave of electricity at Electivire causing him to surge with more electricity than normal
"Electivire. RAVAGE HIM!" Drake shouts
"Electi...VIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRE!" Electivire shouts. He sends out a larger-than-normal burst of electricity at the Praetor but it did little damage.
"Fools" Amalthus says. He sends out another big burst of energy causing everyone to fall down. A tentacle came flying in at Team Rocket but Wobbuffet was there to reflect it. It slapped Amalthus in the face.
"Mag...MORTAR!" Magmortar shouts. She sends out a huge blasts of lava striking down five of the tentacles. Amalthus started to feel weak. Everyone got back up
"I cannot end like this...not until I've met the Architect. Not until I've erased everything with my own hands" Amalthus says
"Wha…" Rex says. Amalthus' tentacles began to cover the doorway to Elysium and the Architect
"This is bad...the World Tree cannot take it" Dromarch notes
"Where are Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina when you need them most" Drake says
"How? How's that bastard still standing, after the incredible thrashing we gave him" Zeke says
"We must stop him" Mórag says. Amalthus went after Jin. but Rex and Pneuma blocked his attack
"PYRA! REX!" Nia shouts. Pneuma changed back to Mythra
"Mythra...you" Jin says
"I couldn't let him get your core too, that's all. With it, he'd be unstoppable" Mythra says
"Thank you…" Jin says. Everyone else continued to fight off Amalthus
"All the cores, all the Architect's words...BELONG TO ME!" Amalthus shouts. Jin started to freeze Amalthus's tentacles. Jin turns his attention to Nia
"Nia,take care of them both" Jin says
"I will" Nia says. She starts to fell the two
"Jin, why didn't you kill me when I joined Rex and the others?" Nia asks
"It wasn't a mistake...was it? Becoming the Blade of someone you trust" Jin asks
"Jin…" Nia says
"I did that too, once...Rex, Drake, you guys must stop Malos. He's still searching for his own identity. Tell him the answer you two found" Jin says
"Rex was the only one that found that answer. I'm here for an unknown reason...but it was a complete blessing" Drake says
"I'm glad to hear that" Jin says. He turns to Amalthus
"You should of died with Torna" Amalthus says
"Let's end this now. Oue duty has been handes down. AMALTHUS!" Jin says.
"Your duty is as dust in the wind compared to my destiny" Amalthus says. He sends out a blast of energy but Jin froze it and turned it to particles. He then sends out sharp icicles that go out and stab Amalthus.
"O Architect...I should of been your chosen one...I lived as you wanted me to...I always did..." Amalthus says
"Why did you look so sad back then? That was you too, wasn't it" Zeke asks remembering his time with the Praetor
"Father…Why do you not answer when I call...Mother, I missed you" Amalthus says right before he dies and his body fades away. Jin stopped his attacks
"Jin…" Mythra says. Jin starts to fade away as used the last of his energy to stop Amalthus
"Bless you Jin...bless you..." Drake says
"What a splendid soul you were, Jin" Azurda says
"See you...in heaven" Drake says
"Jin…" Rex says
Meanwhile with Malos
The Architect was waiting for Malos and Rex's group
"The time has come…" Architect says. Malos comes into the room
"It's been a while, father" Malos says
"Logos" Architect says
"Is that my real name? What's it mean?" Malos asks
"It has no meaning. All it represents is the ego of those who named you" Architect says
"How many years has it been?" Malos asks
"I forget. It has been far too long" Architect says
"Now...where is that bastard?" A female voice says from an unknown area
"What?" Malos says not understanding
"That's bad" A different female voice says
"RIKI FEEL LIKE MILKSHAKE!" A male voice shouted
"Oh Riki" A third female voice says
"Is this a game?" Malos asks
"They are voices...from another world" Architect says
"...You know why I'm here, right?" Malos asks
"I know it all. All that you experience is passed on to me" Architect says
"Then...let's get straight to the point" Malos says. He tried to kill The Architect but he failed
"No need to rush, my child. I'm fading, I'll be gone...soon enough..." Architect says
"Is that right? Then I'll take it all' Malos says
"Do as you wish. If you believe that is your role" Architect says
"Is that choice really mine?" Malos asks. Architect didn't answer. "Answer me"
"It is a choice you made together" Architect says
"Good answer. Thanks for creating me" Malos says. He leaves the room
"Ah, and here comes the other answer" Architect says
Meanwhile with Rex's group
Rex's group walked down a hallway
"World Tree is huge. We can see outer space" Drake says
"Outer Space?" Nia asks
"Astronomy is amazing. I should show you guys it...after all of this" Drake says. The group comes to a huge door and opens it up
"It sure is bright" Nia says
"Yeah...it's right through here. I'm sure of it. We've almost reached Elysium" Rex says. The group ran up a hill...but all they found was a wasteland
"God...please" Jennifer says.
"What is this place?" Rex asks
"No…" Pyra says
"Can this place really be Elysium?" Rex asks
"Impossible" Drake says
"Where's the greenery? The water? The birdsong?" Rex asks.
"Damn" James says
"There's nothing...nothing here at all" Rex says
"What a wretched sight. I have not seen anything like this in all my years on Alrest" Azurda says
"All I feel is death" Drake says
"P-Pyra" Rex says to Pyra
"I don't understand. I don't get it. This is not how I remember" Pyra says. There was a loud bell sound
"That bell sound must be coming from somewhere. Is someone here?" Mórag asks
"The Architect...maybe" Jennifer says
"Poppi detect one big thing, kind of like building over that direction. Sound come from there" Poppi says
"That building...then there is no point in hanging out here" Zeke says
"Yeah. Only one way to find out. Let's go Rex" Drake says
"Alright" Rex says. He turned his direction to Pyra. "It might be okay. Maybe it's just this but that's destroyed. There's bound to be something over that way" He says. The group started to travel towards the building
"This place looks like it was once a city, and quite an old one at that" Dromarch says
"Swingsets, bikes, buildings. This place feels like something my world would have" Drake says
"True true" James says
"Looks like the stuff we saw in Morytha" Zeke says
"Way more dusty up here, maybe it's because it's so dry up here" Nia says
"Maybe that's why there is nothing here. Let's continue moving" Drake says. The group continues to move towards the building. After some traveling, they reached the place
"A church. This is a place where people worshipped Jesus Christ himself. Every Sunday, the Christians gather here for praise and worship Him" Jennifer says
"So...there wasn't always an Architect?" Rex asks
"No…" Jennifer says. The doors to the church opened
"Looks like we didn't need an invitation" Jessie says
"Nah. Churches are welcoming" Jennifer says. The group entered the church
"Welcome home...my children" Architect says from somewhere far
"Who's there?" Rex asks
"Father?" Pyra asks
"The Architect is here? But where?" Mórag asks
"I am always here. Come to me" Architect says. A hatch opens leading to a stairway downwards
"That's our pathway. Let's move" Drake says. The group went downstairs and reached a metallic structure
"Hey Drake, this place...it's wonderful. Like the World Tree" Jennifer says
"Like the World Tree itself?" Drake asks
"Yeah. Right Brighid?" Jennifer asks. The two siblings realized that everyone was gone. A man came towards the two. He looked like an older version of Drake. The two saw him
"Dad" Drake says. He dropped two Pokeballs and what came out was a badly hurt Electivire and badly hurt Magmortar
"What?" Jennifer asks
"I found these two when they were little baby Pokemon. And you almost lead them to death" Mr Melton says
"No...not at all" Drake says
"Why would we…" Jennifer says
"Fighting against a Blade. Unacceptable" Mr Melton says
"Please. We didn't do anything" Drake says
"Then why…?" Mr Melton asks
"We had to save the world. Rex's world. We will...do our best to protect them from harm" Jennifer says
"I see...Drake and Jennifer Melton. The others will be with you shortly. Now step into that room so I can do so" Mr Melton says. He disappears. Electivire and Magmortar are restored back to full health
Architect's Room
Drake, Electivire, Jennifer, and Magmortar had a light shine onto them. The same happened for the others
"You guys…" Rex says.
"You too…" Drake says
"I merely wished to examine the shapes of your hearts" Architect says
"The Architect himself" James says
"Why hide in the dark?" Meowth asks
"My name is Klaus. The Architect of this world. I have watched over you all this time. I have seen your thoughts. Your desures. The things you have achieved" Klaus says
"It was you...pretending to be our dad?" Drake asks
"Yes, those were mere alternative possibilities. Your other selves that lie within" Architect says
"Our others selves. You mean like how we are thinking. Deep down?" Zeke asks
"Those...were fears you harbor…" Architect says
"...You lost me" Jennifer says
"My only purpose was to find out how mankind has changed" Architect says
"And were you disappointed?" Mórag asks
"No...As you stand before me...that is who you are. That is enough" Architect says
"Architect sir, I'm here because I met Pyra. Is this really Elysium?" Rex asks
"I will show you everything" Architect says
"Alright" Rex says
"This world was once the stage of a struggle for survival that dwarfed this current predicament. The world was an unseemly place though with beautiful sights. I lost hope for mankind so I searched tirelessly for an outside solution. And one day I found it, The Conduit. Our world was not the only one. Endless universes coexist side-by-side all completely unaware of one another. The Conduit was our link to these foreign worlds and I opened that forbidden gateway...when I opened the Conduit, many people and many things disappeared into distant dimensions. All that remained here were the ruins of Morytha...and half of my body" Architect says. Everyone gasped at the sight of only half of his body being there
"Your...body" Rex says
"Half of me lives in some other dimension, but not for much longer. It is also the dimension which caused Drake and Jennifer to end up here" Architect says
"What do you mean?" Mórag asks
"The moment of my other self's demise draws near" Architect says
"We're not on Earth anymore" A male voice from Architect's other half says
"No...I feel this is Zanza's domain" Another mals voice says
"Zanza?" Drake asks
"Zanza...Dimitrius...he has more than one name. Voices come out from my other half from time to time" Architect says
"But why?" Jessie asks
"I am not sure. It has only gone on for hours only. It was never a permanent thing. As for the collision. It was because of Palkia and Dialga" Architect says
"So it was there roar" Drake says
"Yes but also no. It is...difficult to explain coming from this side" Architect says
"Father...you" Pyra says
"I was a fool. Because of it, I lost everything. This is my punishment. For the sin I have committed" Architect says
"You're...just a man" Jennifer says
"You are correct Jennifer Melton. A man acting a god, but I did create this world. Since I had to atone for my sin. I did one thing. Swore to restore this world..." Architect says. He started to explain everything. How the world of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was created. The Pokemon Trainers and their Pokemon were amazed. He explained the Three Aegises, and how Ontos disappeared forever. How Pyra and Malos collected data from other Blades. How they are passed down.
"A grand scheme" Azurda says
"Absolutely amazing" Drake says
"Now Rex, are you willing to stop Malos from destroying the world that which you love?" Architect asks
"Of course...I will" Rex says. The group starts to run out of the room, but before that, Rex turns around
"What is it?" Architect asks
"Thank you. For creating this world and all of us" Rex says. Architect did not answer. The group runs out immediately
"Blades...and Pokemon. Not too different from each other. Thank you...Hiro Hamada" Architect says
