Hallway
The group walked towards where Malos and Aion are
"Pyra, where's Malos?" Rex asks
"If he is here. I know where he has gone" Pyra says
"Tell us" Rex says
"The greatest of all Artifaces...Aion" Pyra says
"Aion...so that's what Malos meant" Rex says
"The Artiface with the only intent to destroy the world" Pyra says
Artiface Aion Keep
Malos stood before the Artiface. It was giant, almost like a titan but robotic
Hallway
"Then that's where we'll go" Rex says. The group starts to run to the room
"Hey Rex" Drake says. The group stops and Rex turns around
"Yes" Rex says. Drake holds out his hand
"Thanks for considering us friends. I'm happy to be alongside you" Drake says. Rex grabs his hand and shakes it
"No problem. Your assistance has been helpful" Rex says
"Malos destroying the world means destroying both our worlds. I cannot let people die" Drake says
"Same here" Rex says
"Now. Let's stop Malos" Drake says. Rex nods and everyone runs to Aion's keep. They stopped as they saw Artifaces destroying Alrest
Mor Ardain
The artifaces came down from above destroying all titans. Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina fought off the Artifaces but only on that Titan. A familiar face to the three came down from above destroying an Artiface...it was Arceus
"Pokemon...defend the humans" Arceus says. Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina roared loudly
World Tree
"Are all of those...Sirens?" Brighid asks
"He is really trying to destroy Alrest" Mórag sas
"THIS WAY!" Drake shouts. The group runs towards Aion's Keep
Aion Keep
The group came face to face with Malos
"Malos" Rex says
"Just in time for the final act. I've saved you and the trainers the best seats in the house" Malos says
"Ugh" Drake says
"I sounded just like Akhos there for a minute" Malos says
"Akhos is dead you bastard, so is Patroka, and Jin" Nia says
"Figured as much" Malos says
"How heartless are you?" Drake asks
"What, you want me to weep and deliver a eulogy. What good would that do?" Malos asks
"Malos, is this what you want?" Rex asks
"Huh?" Malos asks
"Is this what you want?" Rex asks
"Don't give me some weak-ass crap about how I should repent or whatever" Malos says
"Why don't you want to hear the truth?" Rex asks
"Here's what I think. I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK!" Malos shouts
"You really are what everyone says about you" Jennifer says
"Huh...let's end this now" Malos says. He floats inside Aion
"Don't you feel anything?" Pyra asks
"No...that isn't my role in this world" Malos says
"Electivire. Prepare yourself" Drake says
"You better show me all you got! I will not hold back!" Malos shouts
"WE WILL!" Drake shouts
"Let's get him" Rex says.
"ELECTIVIRE. USE THUNDERBOLT. DON'T STOP!" Drake shouts.
"ELECTIVIRE!" Electivire shouts. Thunder came from the sky as it started to hurt Aion
"MAG…MORTAR!" Magmortar shouts. She starts to fire all the fire blasts she's got. Everyone was on the offensive making sure Aion would be destroyed. The artiface continued to fight off them all but he was no match alone. The best he could do is make sure Rex didn't touch him
"ENOUGH!" Malos shouts. He fires two lasers at the group sending them back
"You're not burning anyone today" Nia says. She heals Zeke and Pandoria whom got hurt from the blast.
"MY LADY!" Dromarch shouts. He leaps up and protects his Driver
"Dromarch" Nia says
"It's nothing" Dromarch says. Malos tried to attack again but Magmortar blasted it away
"Thanks Magmortar" Brighid says
"Magmortar" Magmortar says. Rex starts to absorb power from the Conduit and send an energy blast at Aion
"Can you still not see?" Rex asks. He started to fight off Aion on his own so he could cover everyone else. "Stop the Artiface"
"See what brat? The world is never going to change" Malos says
Tantal
Someone ran away from an Artiface but Reshiram came from the sky and crushed it. Zekrom came down as well. The two roared loudly at something happening above
Uraya
The artifaces fell at the hands of Lugia and Ho-Oh, but there were too many of them
Aion Keep
Rex continued to fight off Aion
"It will change. I will change it" Rex says as he leaps over Aion's hand. "That's the reason we've come all this way" He says before he blasts Aion again
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET IT GO!? WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING THIS FOR!?" Malos shouts
"I'm doing this for myself. If it helps put smiles on people's faces. Helps them live their lives together. Then that's my role in this WORLD" Rex says. He absorbed more power and sent out a wave of energy. "Jin told me to take care of you in his place, you know. Jin never wanted to die, he just wanted to connect with you. He did it because you showed him a path" Rex says
"AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF IT!? YOU'D FORGIVE HIM. JUST LIKE THAT!?" Malos asks
"Forgiving isn't that easy. But that's just the world we live in. We need to find a way forward, within that world. Even you...used to think like that ONCEEEEEEEE" Rex says
Architect Room
The Architect continued to meditate in his room
"Today. We use our power to fell a god, and then, seize our destiny" A familiar voice says from his left half
"...Hurry...the time...is nye" Architect says
Aion Keep
Rex continued to fight off Aion
"Rex...finish this" Drake says to Rex. Pyra transformed into Pneuma
"I was just thinking that...now, here we go" Rex says
"Yeah" Pneuma says. She and Rex held up the Aegis and absorbed power from the Conduit.
"Wow" Jennifer says. The Aegis started to expand becoming larger
"Let's get this done...so we...can move on" Rex says
"For the future" Pneuma says. The sword drove right through the heart of Aion. Malos fell out of the destroyed Artiface
"I heard something...something outside" Drake says
"What exactly?" James asks
"Something abour seizing our destiny. Just as Rex and Pyra destroyed Aion" Drake says. Malos was coughing
"It's been fun...kid" Malos says to Rex
"Malos" Rex says
"If only. I'd met you sooner...just think of the worlds I might have seen...but even so" Malos says
"If…I had been your Driver...all of this" Rex says
"Hah...kids say the damnest things. There was only one Driver for me. All in all. It...wasn't so bsd" Malos says. He faded away
"Malos…" Pneuma says. Nia transformed back into her Driver form
"Looks like he finally found it" Brighid says
"A meaning to his life" Mórag says
"Indeed…" Brighid says
"Looks like he and Jin...will be seeing each other again" Drake says
"Hey Rex, if Malos had been your Blade. How different would things be?" Jennifer asks
"Very different...maybe...he can come back" Rex says
"It's not farfetch'd" Drake says. A bright light consumed the outside of the World Tree
"Uh...what happened outside?" Jessie asks. There was shaking on all of the World Tree
"What's going on?" Rex asks
"Something happened outside." Jennifer says
"All of Elysium is going to collapse" Pneuma says
"We have to go...NOW!" Rex shouts
"What?" Nia asks
"Since the Conduit disappeares. The power holding Elysium together was cut off" Pneuma says
"Oh we have to run and get out of here" Drake says
"Not just that. Everything below this point will collapse on top of all of Alrest" Pneuma says
"No…" Mórag says
"There has to be a way to stop it" Rex says. Pneuma hesistated to answer. "PYRA!" He shouts. Pneuma continued to hesitate
"There is one way...just one way to prevent it" Pneuma says. Drake and Jennifer looked at each other
"Say it" Jessie says
"Five stories down from here, there's a control room for the correction boosters. If we can fire the booster jets, and accelerate the whole World Tree beyond escape velocity" Pneuma says
"Look, I haven't got a clue about boosters or velocities, but…I'm gathering that we gotta get there, and fast" Zeke says
"Not wrong Zekeinator. Let's go" Drake says. Pneuma looked down causing the Pokemon to look worried
"Electi?" Electivire says
"Okay. Five floors down. Let's hurry" Rex says. The group started to out of the keep
"I STILL AM WORRIED ABOUT THAT BRIGHT LIGHT. IT DIDN'T CONSUME THE WORLD TREE!" Jennifer shouts. Pneuma stayed behind
"Azurda...Poppi" Pneuma says. The two stopped and came towards her. She told something to the two of them
"What did you say?" Azurda asks
"Poppi could not possibly" Poppi says
"You're the only ones I could ask" Pneuma says
"But…" Poppi says
"Poppi...you promised...didn't you" Pneuma says remembering their conversation in Morytha
"That below belt…" Poppi says. Electivire came towards the three
"Please…" Pneuma says
"Electivire…" Electivire says
"Electivire" Pneuma says. The electric Pokemon came over and hugged the Blade
"Take care of Drake for me Electivire. He seems...like a noble Pokemon Trainer" Pneuma says before breaking up the hug. Electivire tilted his head down and walked away. Pneuma tapped Azurda's core crystal
"You're a real piece of work" Azurda says. Pneuma smiled slightly
Five Stories Down
The group reached their point. There was a large bridge between them and the room. The group started to run across it. They crossed it and opened up the door to a room...full of escape vessels
"What is this?" Rex asks
"This is a room full of escape pods" Drake says. Rex started to realize what was going to happen. He moved everyone out of the way to see Pneuma on the other side of the bridge
"Pyra...what are you doing there? Where's the control room?" Rex asks. Pneuma did not answer. "PYRA!" Rex shouts. He then widens his eyes realizing. "You can't mean…"
"I'm sorry…" Pneuma says. She destroyed the bridge putting a giant pit between her and Rex
"No way" Drake says
"This was the first lie I ever told you" Pneuma says
"Pyra…" Rex says
"The only way to stop the World Tree's collapse is to use the last of Aion's power and annihilate the World Tree. I'm sorry...this is the only way...You all need to use one of those escape vessels and get as far away as possible" Pneuma says
"Wha...the last of Aion's...Pyra, WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?" Rex shouts. Jennifer started to tear up. "It'll...it'll be fine...right. You'll deal with the World Tree, then come back, right" Rex asks. Jessie handed Jennifer a tissue. The two started to cry altogether. "Wait, just wait. I'll come with you" Rex says. He unleashed his grappling hook but it didn't reach far enough
"Oh boi" Drake says
"Damnit. There's not enough wire...I got it, Poppi" Rex says. He saw Poppi looking sad
"Electivire" Electivire says worried
"It not Ok...Poppi cannot" Poppi says
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T!" Rex shouts
"Poppi made promise…Pyra say that Rex for sure ask Poppi...say not help Rex, no matter what..." Poppi says
"What kind of promise is that? Poppi, I'M BEGGING YOU!" Rex shouts. He grabs Poppi. "All you gotta do is take me over there. The rest of you can just…" Rex says
"Rex…" Azurda says
"This is the only way…" Drake says
"C'mon...please...she's right there" Rex says. Poppi started to cry
"MAGMORTAR USE…" Jennifer shouts before Electivire electrocutes Magmortar. Drake looked at his Pokemon
"Why?" Drake asks
"He...was also made the promise" Meowth says sadly
"I'm...so sorry Rex" Drake says
"Rex...sometimes a man must know when to let go…" Azurda says
"Why? WHYYYY!?" Rex shouts. He fell to his knees
"Do it for her, Rex. Do as she asks" Azurda says
"Gramps…" Rex says. Jennifer and Jessie started to cry more
"Chum...how long are you planning on being a baby? She's the girl you love. You gotta accept her decision. That's what being an adult means..." Zeke says. Drake came over to Rex and hugged him tightly. Mórag came over to the two
"Rex...I am so thankful that I've met you all" Mórag says. She looks at Pneuma then bows down. Brighid soon followed
"Rex-Rex" Tora says. Nia looked at Rex
"Now...let's get moving" Drake says. He and Rex broke up the hug. The Aegis Driver looked back at Pneuma.
"Pyra…" Rex says. There was a wave of explosions.
"REX" Pneuma shouts. She tapped her Core Crystal and transmitted to Rex causing him to go back into his older clothing. The Core Crystal dropped to the ground
"Do it...for her" Drake says. Rex picked up the Core Crystal. He looked back at Pneuma once more
"You'll be fine...without me now" Pneuma says
"Pyra…" Rex says. The building looked like it was going to collapse. "PYRAAAAA!" Rex shouted. After rubble came down from above...Pneuma was gone. Rex held the Core Crystal tightly. The group proceeded to go onto an escape vessel.
"Alright. I will activate an escape vessel. Then we can get out of here" Nia says. A piece of rubble came down but it was destroyed by Magmortar
"Thanks Magmortar" Rex says
"Mortar" Magmortar says
'It's this one. Escape pod S55" James says. The group went onto the pod
"Okay. I'll activate it so we may move out" Rex says
"Alright" Drake says. Rex activates the escape pod and the coordinates to their next destination. The pod moved out of the World Tree and into space. The bright light was gone lastly. Rex looked behind him and saw the World Tree be destroyed once and for all
"PYRAAAAAA!" Rex shouted. The pod was coming down hard. It started to burn up
"This thing will not hold" Jennifer says. The pod was destroyed and everyone was in free fall. Azurda transformed back into his Titan form and everyone landed on him
"Thank you sir" Drake says
"You know, I think this form suits me best" Azurda says
"Gramps…" Rex says
"We're heading down. Everyone grabs onto something…" Azurda says. The group saw the Cloud Sea...only to see it dissolve.
"The Cloud Sea...and the Titans are gone" Rex says
"Is everyone...dead?" Nia asks
"No...impossible" Drake says
"We were...too late" Pandoria says
"It the Land of Morytha" Poppi says.
"So...there's nothing left of this world, but ruins?" Zeke asks
"We're crossing that rift…" Azurda says
"Rift…" Drake says
"That must be where everyone is…" Jennifer says.
After crossing the rift
The group crossed the rift and saw nothing but water
"Wow. This is amazing" Jessie says
"Hey...there's...a large city over there" Pandoria says
"It big city. High tech" Poppi says. Nia's ears wagged and she saw Uraya
"Look" Nia says. Uraya headed towards the same direction. It landed in the water ahead and made new land near the city. Mor Ardain, Tantal, Indol, and bunch of other titans did the same. The city was now larger with new territories
"They're...combining...with the city" Brighid says
"So it's true" Mórag says
"New Kanto, New Jonto, New Hoenn, New Sinnoh" Drake says
"New Uraya, New Gormott, New Uraya, and New Tantal." Rex says
"Hey. That's what we should call the new territories" Drake says
"Niall...can lead New Mor Ardain" Rex says
"Yeah...good idea" Mórag says
"You know what...I like you guys. It was fun not chasing that Pikachu and playing good guy for once" James says
"I agree" Jessie says
"I agree as well" Meowth says
"Good" Drake says. He shakes hands with James
"Elysium...it was here all along…" Rex says
"You know what Rex, I think you're right about that" Azurda says. There wad light flying in the sky. Rex looked at the Core Crystal
"We're...here" Rex says.
"I wish Pyra and Mythra could see this. They would be proud of you Rex. This world is now of Blades and Pokemon...maybe more" Drake says. The Core Crystal started to light up causing Pyra and Mythra to come out of it. "Woah...okay"
"We are proud of yoy Rex" Pyra says
"Yeah" Mythra says. Poppi ran towards the two and hugged them. They broke it up after a quick two seconds. Pyra mouthed something to Rex. It caused him to smile and walk towards her. The two hugged each other
"Alright. We are heading down onto the land now" Azurda says
"Alright lovebirds. Are y'all ready to see this new world?" Drake asks. Rex nodded
"Yeah" Rex says. Giratina flew in the air and went into a portal
"Giratina…" Mórag says. Palkia and Dialga were already on the land waiting for the group to arrive. Azurda landed in the water. The group looked around
"It's...beautiful" Jennifer says
"There is many room in this new territory. We can fit all of the humans." Rex says
"Yeah. We can name them after Titans and Pokemon Islands" Drake says
"We had that idea" Rex says
"That sounds like a great plan" Mórag says
"Rex-Rex...are other Nopon here?" Tora asks
"Of course. Go out and meet them. Maybe there are some from the Pokemon World" Rex says
"Elysium is full of Blades and Pokemon alive. Who wouldn't wish for a world like this with everything that happened in the past couple of hours" Drake says
"Come on now everyone. Let's go check this place out" Rex says. Everyone but Drake, Jennifer, and their Pokemon left
"Drake…" Jennifer says
"Maybe dad is here...maybe we can see him again and tell him what we did" Drake says
"Yeah...and tell him about this world" Jennifer says
"This world...is of Blades and Pokemon now. This world may even be shared by other beings. I think, that this is not the end." Drake says
"Then come on bro, let's go and explore this world" Jennifer says
