Chapter 83 – Battle of Legends
Here's the colossal battle you've all been waiting for! We'll see if this matches up with what happened with the Weather Trio VS Acnologia back in the Tenrou Island Arc.
Guest: Sorry, not interested in making a story like that. I already intend on doing One's Road to Remembrance.
And so, let the colossal battle begin!
To Recap:
With Cobra entering the fray, all seven Dragon Slayers were struggling against the Dragons, and their attacks didn't do much of anything. Future Rogue explained that he used everyone possible so he can kill Acnologia and become the new Dragon King, and Atlas Flame sided with Natsu and fought against Motherglare. Both Nics made it to Giant Chasm and got help from Kyurem. All Dragons Slayers, including Atlas Flame, were suspended in spatial orbs like everyone, and it was revealed that Lysandre had done it all; the Eclipse Gate's destruction, the entire population suspended, and the dark energy being extremely immense in Fiore. Nic and his Pokémon soon arrived with their future selves and the Tao and Weather Trio to assist in the battle against the six Dragons remaining. They all thus readied to charge to end it all.
Chapter 83 – Battle of Legends
Upon the call of the two Nics, their six individual Pokémon let out cries and roars of their own as they lunged into the fray. The Legendary Tao and Weather Trio following behind bypassed both Nics and dashed off into the fray.
Kyurem ran from the seashore and into Crocus, every single step made layering the ground underneath in ice. He sped in towards Zirconis.
The massive green Dragon looked at the incoming beast with a raised brow. "Oh? Ambitious now are we? Well don't think that I don't usually like my food cold! I'll put you down myse-!"
Kyurem jumped up high, his sturdy legs making a ripple of ice along the ground, layering it in frost. The icy dragon was overhead and the center of his sealed shut mouth made an orb of draconic energy. "Dragon Pulse!" Kyurem's attack was unleashed downwards and the head chomp down on Zirconis.
The Jade Dragon roared as he was engulfed in a multicolored explosion. He shot back and fell on his back with a booming thud that rattled the nearby vicinity. Kyurem landed with ice and frost layering the street beneath him.
Zirconis arose from the massive dust cloud, his head throbbing and his scales damaged in quite a few places. "What the-?!"
He was cut off when two small figures zipped pass his face in small blurs, making explosions again, but smaller than what a Legendary could do. Zirconis grunted and his eyes turned around and up as the two Staraptors' wings finished glinting, indicating Steel Wing was used.
Kyurem used the distraction to his advantage. "Ice Beam!" A light blue orb was in front of his mouth and fired it at Zirconis, leaving a massive trail of ice sticking out as it traveled across the street.
Zirconis screamed when he was hit once again by the icy cold attack. The beastly Dragon's entire body shot back from the huge misty cloud, revealing his frontal half in sub-zero ice. Zirconis smashed through a large building structure, falling onto his back.
Levia raised his head and roared out to the sea, where Kyogre was located. The blue beast flapped his wings and took flight. He sailed on overhead and went after Kyogre with his teeth bared. Both gargantuan beasts roared out to one another.
As Levia was over Kyogre's head, he did not pay attention to two figures down below who sprung up super high via Bounce. Levia looked down to see two blurs with pink scarf-like tongues sprung upwards and appear in front of his short snout.
"Bounce!" Both Greninja raised their legs, one each, and dealt a pulsing kick right into Levia's snout. As both Greninja back flipped and descend back to the ground, Levia grunted from the attack recoiled a little.
Kyogre opened his massive mouth as Levia was caught off guard. "Hydro Pump!" The massive beast let loose a devastating volume of pressurized water. The attack pulsed into the air and jetted towards Levia, striking him right in the underbelly. The force of the attack made Levia roar in pain as he shot up further into the sky, roaring as he shot to a critical point before falling downwards, smashing into the seashore with a shockwave and making sand palpitate outwards.
Both Greninja leaped back and evaded the sand waves, remaining wary of Levia rising up again.
Escuronix roared as he was dared to go up against the beast that stepped forward known as Groudon. The Continent Pokémon let out another heated roar that made the earth beneath him crack. Glowing red lava lit up in between the cracks.
Escuronix spread his wings and took flight, flying right over Groudon's head. The Dark Dragon's teeth were visible as his mouth opened up and dark energy swelled up. Groudon opened his mouth as well, and a faint green-yellow glowed around him. Numerous green orbs dilated and floated around Groudon's head, with the largest being the center one in front of his mouth.
"Solar Beam!" He bellowed. A massive green beam of solar energy was fired, the unleashed concentration being so dense that the ground beneath cracked and broke apart under Groudin's pressure.
At the same time, Escuronix fired a dark beam that was his roar. Bothe attacks met in the middle, and a bright field of energy erupted in between the two, expanding outwards and becoming a catastrophic explosion that rattled the entire city, much everyone's shock. They saw a whole section of Crocus get reduced to debris and dust as the explosion engulfed the buildings and monuments around.
When the explosion settled, a humungous crater that stretched for a quarter of a mile ran through the ground. All were shocked as Groudon came out unscathed without even a scratch, and Escuronix seemed irritated as he sailed downwards with red talons to attack.
Groudon reached up and grabbed the talons with both claws and stopped Escuronix in his tracks. Groudon didn't even budge as the land shuddered from that catch. He used his raw power and threw Escuronix aside like a ragdoll, hitting the ground and tumbling back until the back of his head had hit another building.
Escuronix got up to his feet slowly, but he was suddenly slashed across the ankles. The Dark dragon grunted in pain and stepped back as the Slash was backed up with what was beneath him, startling the massive ebast.
"We'll cut to the chase!" Both Kecleon declared, assisting Groudon as they let out cries and lunged to attack Escuronix.
Carraigia was swinging his body around, his club-like tail knocking down parts of buildings. "Get off, pests!" He bellowed. He referred to the two Arbok that were on his back, causing a massive ruckus as they were slamming their tails and their hoods against his rock-like ridged on his back. The discomfort was a real back-sore. He swerved around, but he couldn't seem to get the stubborn serpents off. "You'll regret messing with me, vile creatures!" Carraigia bellowed.
"Dragon Pulse!"
The sudden attack called was what got Carraigia's attention. He looked up to witness Reshiram on the attack, his mouth open and exerted a pulsing, multicolored beam that shaped into a massive dragon. The assault opened its mouth and chomped down on Carraigia's head, making a massive multicolored explosion that rattled the vicinity, sending shockwaves throughout the alleys.
Carraigia slid back against the wide open streets, his rock hard cranium taking a beating from that assault. He shook his head and looked back at Reshiram above, who glowered down and let out a shrill roar, screeching through the air.
Both Arbok slid near to the head, more to the neck, and they looked at each other and nodded. Both opened their mouths, and a silver light began to converge and concentrate to a single point. Both silver lights expanded and manifested into two black garbage bags.
"Gunk Shot!" They bellowed. They raised their heads and slammed down the garbage bags, creating two massively huge purple explosions on the neck area. The force made Carraigia feel an unsanitary sting on his neck.
Scissor Runner glared down at the two Garchomp at his feet, and they were accompanied by Zekrom, whom floated overhead and had his red eyes glare at Scissor Runner. The massive Dragon looked peeved to say the least.
"Those stupid humans are one thing, but your species is another. I don't care who or what you are, as I will kill you all!" Scissor Runner roared. He spread his wings apart to intimidate the ones battling before him and he bared his fangs.
Future Garchomp bared his sharp teeth as well. "This guy's big."
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" Garchomp roared.
Scissor Runner raised a claw and proceeded to smashing it against the ground where the two Garchomp stood. The two dragons ascended into the sky, where they both had airbrakes put on and adjusted their trajectory right for Scissor Runner. Their mouths opened wide as they went Mach speed, their fangs glowing and elongating.
"Crunch!" Both bellowed. Faster than what Scissor Runner could react to, both Garchomp collided with his long neck and snapped their jaws down.
The Dragon roared in agony as he felt both Garchomp rip into his neck, their sharp claws digging into his rough skin didn't help either. Scissor Runner roared and tried to swish left and right, but that merely fell as a distraction, leaving him to not realize the dark clouds in the night sky crackling with lightning.
Laxus and Orga's eyes widened at the feeling of this immense electrical pressure. It left them both astounded.
"Thunder!" Zekrom roared. The monstrous clouds above crackled with intense lightning, which made thunder boom throughout all of Crocus and afar. Lily was left to cover his ears as a massive bolt went striking down, blitzing through the dark air and hammering Scissor Runner with several million volts.
The Dragon roared in pain as lightning crackled through his senses, but as he was left stunned, both Garchomp had smiles as their fangs were still sank in the Dragon's skin, their Ground-Type characteristic making them immune.
Both Nics raced along, both glowing and transforming into their Draco Plate Forms. They flapped their draconic wings and took flight. They were passed by both their Charizard as they raced after Motherglare, who roared out at Rayquaza.
"Very well!" Future Rogue manifested into shadows and he disappeared.
Down below, he reappeared while still in his Light Shadow Dragon Mode. "Nic Pularis! You will not escape your fate!"
Future Nic turned towards Nic as they sailed through the skies. "I'll handle Rogue. I'll meet up with you then to take on-"
"I know!" Nic yelled, his eyes set on Lysandre as he had a devious smirk on his face. The dark aura and skin-rotting shadows made him look as intimidating as ever, but he dared to not waver. "Lysandre is all mine for now! Be careful!" He told his future self.
With a nod, Future Nic glided down and barrel-rolled to adjust his landing onto the massively large flat roof of an equally massive building. He slid to a halt and glared down Future Rogue, his heart racing from the anticipation and energy looming around.
"Nice of you to join me." Future Rogue said, his hand cloaked in light shadows. He held it up, looking thrilled. "This will be your end!"
Future Nic spread his arms out and made a combative stance. "You have a very sully view on destiny and the future. You have no idea what's truly before you. If you're as arrogant as you were in the Grand Magic Games, then you haven't changed."
Nic flapped his wings and shot after Lysandre, who seemed to bare his hands and claws. His tail wagged and the dark energy around him exerted more bloodthirst, causing a wave of decay to fill Nic's nostrils as he sped on in. It was painful to smell and made him want to gag, but he had more pressing matters to deal with than his own empty stomach.
"Finally, I shall confront you this last time!" Lysandre's right hand was engulfed in manifested shadows that became his Shadow Claw. He held the arm back. "I'll rip the life right out of you like I did to you a long time ago!"
Nic's hands glowed and light blue energy shaped into massive claws, creating Dragon Claw. The look in his eyes was that of someone who Lysandre hated to the rotten core, the same one who foiled his plans so long ago, and now each one was the final obstacle on their paths to their fates.
"BRING IT ON!" Nic bellowed. He thrust his Dragon Claw forward, jabbing Lysandre's Shadow Claw, making a light blue and dark flash that sent an air ripple throughout all of Crocus for all to behold.
As all were duking it out, explosions and rumbling far beneath, Rayquaza was high in the sky, opening his massive mouth and roaring out to Motherglare, who returned the same, air-shaking roar. Both dragons of other worlds had their eyes set on dominating and ending what they were dragged into.
"So you fight for the one down below. The one who defies Rogue. I shall hold nothing back!" Motherglare declared.
Rayquaza's serpentine body adjusted so his neck was high but the head hung to intimidate. "You will try, as will I!"
Both Charizards arrived and flapped their wings in place. One Charizard each was on either side of Rayquaza, both saying nothing to Rayquaza as they knew their roles.
"We'll be backup." Future Charizard confirmed.
"But there's no way we're not gonna sit back while Rayquaza lays some hurt. Let's go!" Charizard enforced. The two soared on opposite ends and went around, zooming in massive arcs on the sides on either end.
Motherglare opened his mouth and let loose a light blue beam that was his devastating roar. The blast went after Rayquaza, but the Sky High Pokémon was more than ready. "Dragon Pulse!" In response, Rayquaza unleashed his own Dragon Pulse. The mouth opened up as the beam met it on the middle.
The two attacks that met together flashed, and a white and bright explosion shot upwards into the sky, the perimeter being so massive that it could've wiped out maybe a sizeable fraction of Crocus. The shockwaves raced through the atmosphere and left building tops to crumble away, otherwise cracked beyond repair.
The bright light faded, and the explosion settled. Motherglare snarled and raised his claws to go into an offensive approach.
However, he forgot the two Charizard coming around from both sides. "Flamethrower!" Both Charizards opened their mouths and let loose what would've been a Flamethrower that could melt solid rock and huge glaciers. The heated attack blitzed and scored direct, explosive hits on Motherglare's sides of the face, making the Dragon growl from the attacks getting his smooth scales on his face.
Both Charizard altered their course and flew up and away as Rayquaza was outlined in a thick green aura. "Extreme Speed!" Rayquaza became a green blur, moving so fast that the sound barrier could've been broken ten times over, and a long streak of green showed his trail as the human eye didn't get to blink before Rayquaza went head on into Motherglare, making a green explosion upon impact in the face.
Motherglare roared in anger and pain as Rayquaza flew out of the smoke, swerving into the sky.
Future Rogue rushed after Future Nic with his hand cloaked in light shadow. Future Nic didn't move much, but when he did, he shifted left to dodge and drove an uppercut beneath the arm, socking Future Rogue in the chin. He retracted the arm and pivoted, spinning around to knock his elbow to the back of Future Rogue's head, making him yelp as he fell down to a knee.
"You'll pay for that-GAH!" Future Rogue was cut off when he was dealt a harsh blast of blue, sending him tumbling until he slid to a halt. He felt his body sting from that attack, realizing that Future Nic's Dragon Breath had done more than he could've thought.
"I didn't come for insults or threats that won't be delivered." Future Nic said.
In a flash, he suddenly used Dragon Claw and crossed them, intercepting Future Rogue as he reappeared in a flash and punched ahead with light shadows. Light blue static and black and white static filled the air, but no one budged.
"You say that now, but I didn't expect this to occur, none of it!" Future Rogue shouted. "No matter. The Dragons will tear your creatures apart, and so they'll slaughter Lysandre, and then I shall take my place as the winner of the Dragon King Festival. Now get lost, Nic Pularis!" Future Rogue began to apply more force, his side starting to gain ground.
Future Nic grunted and began to glow. "You're in the darkness for so long…you can't see!"
In a rapid flash, Future Nic was seen past Future Rogue, the latter gaging blood as the former was in his Dread Plate Form, having used Night Slash and the dark purple needle was pointed ahead. Future Nic sheathed the needle and looked back as Future Rogue clutched his right side. "Knock Off!" Future Nic's arm was engulfed in black static and clenched his fist. He brought it up and hammer fist Future Rogue as he pivoted and intercepted Knock Off with another Light Shadow Dragon's Slash.
Both backed off, but Future Rogue seemed to be on wit's end as to how his foe was so calm and keeping up with his Light Shadow Dragon Mode. "You can't seriously be packing this much power. This form should surpass that Legendary Force you used."
Future Nic had a glare set on Future Rogue as he took another stance. "You haven't even seen what Pokémon can truly do. Dark Pulse!" Future Nic fired a beam of jumbled dark rings from his joined palms and fired the attack at Future Rogue.
Future Rogue became a shadow and swerved around the Dark Pulse as Future Nic moved it, within his shadow form, Future Rogue had an angry stare as Future Nic had his eyes set on him.
Everyone above was watching the craziest battle in the history of Earth Land, with the revelation of Nic being from a different world being icing on the cake. Officials couldn't even grasp how ridiculous it was that another human from another world had brought a cataclysm in theirs. The only upside was that the Legendary Pokémon they saw down below were driving back the Dragons, much to everyone's disbelief.
"I have no memory of such raw and destructive power before." Rufus stated.
"So, this is the true power of the mightiest creatures of Nic's home." Minerva stated, watching Kyogre jump out of the water and blast Levia's side with Hydro Pump. She watched as Levia shot back and roared out to Kyogre again after his side had a large bruise from the water pressure. "They're more devastating than these Dragons. I never would've imagined I see such a day."
Sting watched in disbelief as Reshiram blasted Carraigia with a Dragon Pulse from the right side, the draconic multicolored explosion being so massive that Carraigia fell onto his side, fragments of his face and parts of his body both cracking and smaller parts getting chunked off. Both Arbok jumped off and landed on the ground, hissing as Carraigia groaned from the pain accumulated.
'Whoa. This crazy power. I've never felt this much in one place before.' He thought with his heart beating from the unlimited power he was sensing. 'It's not even Magic. This pressure, just what is this?'
'I never would've imagined Dragon Slayers could be outclassed by Legendary Pokémon. Do they really have the power to defeat Acnologia?' Rogue thought back to when Lysandre showed the illusion, and he couldn't be anymore baffled with how Acnologia was defeated by the Weather Trio. To make matters more disturbing, the Weather Trio they were seeing right now wasn't even using that power.
Natsu was watching it unfold all over again. As he watched Zekrom bring down another bolt of Thunder onto Scissor Runner, he watched as the Dragon screamed in agony; even more so when both Garchomp lunged onto the Dragon's back and used Crunch, ripping into him again.
His fists clenched as the pit of his stomach was feeling anguish. "I don't get it. I'm a Dragon Slayer. So why couldn't I slay a Dragon a second time?" He growled. It was agonizing enough that Acnologia showed them up, but now all Dragon Slayers were much too weak to slay some serious carnage. Natsu just wanted to save them all, but this was not his fight. It was Nic's, and it was a painful pill he choked on, but he knew better than to fight Lysandre, because that was the same man who curbstomped Gildarts without much of a hassle, and his power was worse than Zeref. All he could do was what everyone else was able to do: watch.
"This is just like in Kalos and Tenrou Island." Vanessa said, watching the battle escalate as she saw Zirconis try and swat both Staraptor away, only for him to get distracted for Kyurem to jump and deliver a kick to his snout. The force made Zirconis fall back with a thud.
"Whoa, these guys…" Jenny trailed off as her body shivered.
"They're so powerful." Eve stated with equal shock.
"A parfume of the purest of fragrances against the pungent odors that infiltrate my nostrils." Ichiya pompously declared.
Jura was on his knees, his status shocking his colleagues. "This power…no one can survive this force. I doubt even a Wizard Saint can hold his own."
"…not even close." Makarov grumbled.
Mavis had her eyes set on Lysandre as the vicious monster clashed Shadow Claw with Nic's Dragon Claw. Both raced within the skies, their clashed looking like fireworks as they moved so fast that they were glints of light blue and darkness slashing all throughout the sky.
"That man up there. This evil…this power…" Mavis was shivering to the core as she even held her arms to her sides. "This spatial force, and this darkness…I can't believe I'm saying this…but I think Lysandre is…" What she said next, it was muttered so low that only she could understand. "Stronger than Lumen Histoire. Such darkness and devoid of any light."
Lahar watched from above as both Kecleon ran up Escuronix's two wings and went for the neck, where their claws glowed and elongated. He watched as they used Slash, and they actually left cuts on either side of the neck. "How much power does these creatures have that come from Nic's world? Why are they even here?"
Doranbolt watched as Groudon's mouth opened up and Eruption was unleashed. Both Kecleon jumped off the shoulders and avoided the molten rocks that struck Escuronix's chest, creating a fiery and lava-like explosion that rattled the earth yet again.
He shuddered in heavy disbelief. "Is this the apocalypse…?"
"The Council will end this. They got footage live, and there is a strong Etherion shall be used. They don't care how they handle the situation as long as all of these creatures are gone. That I am certain of." Lahar pointed out.
Kagura watched in disbelief and awe as she saw the two Charizard and Rayquaza go head to head with Motherglare. The Dragon rushed after Rayquaza high in the sky, but he was caught off guard when the two Charizard came in from straight ahead horizontally, shooting like rockets.
Their mouths opened and fired another rock-melting Flamethrower at the exposed underside, creating a huge explosion of fire that made Motherglare roar again, which left him open for Rayquaza to shoot down with a roar, using Extreme Speed and speeding past Motherglare, engulfing him in a massive green explosion, and both Charizards twisted their bodies and maneuvered away as fragments of Motherglare's spiral scales fell from the explosion, scattering to the desolate streets.
"Those creatures…" Kagura shuddered, covering her mouth. "This is what Luminous has been hiding."
"Meow!" Millianna screeched. "This is so crazy! Nic's forces are pushing the Dragons back?!"
Kagura's eyes narrowed as the land thundered beneath. 'Titania is one thing, but Luminous, he may be the most lethal person there is now, having such monsters at his disposal.'
Zirconis roared. His whole set of teeth bared and rattled the airspace. He stood on a whole street of ice, catered to Kyurem's power getting warmed up, ironically. The air in the area was a shivering, frigid one that had Zirconis's cold blood grow weak.
Kyurem took more icy steps forward. "Is that all you've got, Dragon?"
"You're just riling me up! NOW I'M ANGRY!" Zirconis bellowed. The thunderous roar sent shockwaves all around, passing Kyurem and the two Staraptor as they had their talons gripped to the ice beneath. The shockwaves shattered nearby windows and stands, but the ice did not break.
Zirconis spread his wings and brought them back. With an angry scowl, he flapped them once, sending a massive storm at Kyurem. The chaotic winds were like a wall, and Kyurem was shoved back several feet, while both Staraptor brought their wings up to block the winds as they skidded back, leaving claw marks with their talons. When they finished their skid, they were far behind Kyurem, but that blow didn't deter them in the slightest.
"It's on now!" Staraptor shouted.
"You're angry, we're fearless! Come at us!" Future Staraptor declared. She and her counterpart both took flight again, getting into the high altitude above, where they twirled and set a course for Zirconis.
Both went flying into the beast. "Double Team!" They both flashed and the two became what seemed to be a massively large flock of Staraptor. The sheer size of the combined Double Team was shocking as the number seemed countless. "Aerial Ace!" The flock hollered in unison as the real and illusionary copies all became blurs and went at blinding speed.
Zirconis did what instincts told him to do and opened his mouth so the flock could end up in his belly, but it was for naught as only illusions went inside, and the real two went straight for the forehead. The combined Aerial Ace made strong flashes and shockwaves, exploding in front of Zirconis's head. Both Staraptor flew off to the side as the explosion cleared, showing Zirconis's head suffering what seemed to be bleeding scales in the forehead.
Kyurem raised his head and draconic energy began to surge in pace again. "Dragon Pulse!" He fired a beam of multicolored energy that shaped into another enormous dragon. The head went at Zirconis, but the Jade Dragon was prepared as he clenched a fist and punched forward. A powerful explosion erupted when the fist et the mouth of Dragon Pulse.
The explosion that leveled numerous buildings all around became smoke, and Zirconis slid back, shattering what was the ground beneath in his skid. His hand was badly bruised, and he looked extremely angry, as well as in pain. "I'm not done with you! HRAH!" Zirconis wasted no time as he opened up his mouth and fired what was a brutal beam from his mouth.
The beam traveled towards Kyurem, who held his cold, hard ground and unleashed Ice Beam. The light blue beams met with Zirconis's roar right in the middle, making an implosion of unstable energy. A field of eruption expanded outwards, devastating the debris and ice and reducing them to dust and vapor.
Believe it or not, both Greninja were sprinting with grace of ninjas across the raging sea. They were swift and stepped from one part to another, as if they were running in mountains all over again. They sprinted after Levia as he was in the water as well, quarreling with Kyogre, explaining further result of the raging waves.
Levia opened his mouth and exerted a roaring beam. The roar blasted Kyogre as the Sea Basin Pokémon was beneath his feet. Kyogre was engulfed in an explosion, his roar clear even through the geyser-like waves that crashed all around.
Levia looked arrogant to suffice when he saw Kyogre's tails plunge into the sea. "That should keep you dow-!"
He was cut off when a sudden blast of boiling water, two large, pressurized volumes, struck his neck and chin, the stinging hot water doused him and made his nerve feel like they were on fire. Levia grunted and reeled his head away, leaving his side open as both Greninja jumped out of the water they were slammed into.
"Ready?" Future Greninja asked.
"Yeah!" Greninja shouted.
Both Greninja readied their own attacks, with one making hand signs and puffing while another made compressed water in the shape of a star.
"Smokescreen!" Future Greninja huffed out a massive black cloud of smoke at Levia's face. The heavy mass of smoke made Levia unable to see, and his sense of smell was clogged up.
"I can't see! Confound frogs!" Levia shouted.
"Water Shuriken!" Greninja swung his arms and let loose several compressed stars of water, all ripping through Smokescreen and explosions could be seen inside the Smokescreen. Levia's grunts meant the attack's sharp prowess must have stung his sting.
Both Greninja landed in a crouch position on the drenched seashores. They looked up to see Levia moving his head out of the smoke cloud and snarled down at the two Greninja.
"You creatures have something to prove." Levia admitted. "Such tenacity means nothing to us! We shall destroy you all…" He didn't finish as the waves out at sea swished around more violently, making the shores tremor and shake from the magnitude of each wave striking.
A massive water spout arose, and out came Kyogre. The Legendary beast of the sea let out a monstrous roar, his whole body not even scratched by that beam.
"Impossible!" Levia scowled. "Not a scratch?! How?!"
"Is that really the best you can do?!" Kyogre scowled. He opened his mouth, where a light blue orb was seen. "Ice Beam!" An ice ripple went echoing around the air as massive beams of shivering ice went blasting at Levia. Levia was engulfed in a pillar of light blue, erupting cold atmosphere all around and both Greninja slid backwards and fell on their backs from the shockwaves that left their forearms layered in frost. The shockwaves scattered all across the beaches and shores, quaking the earth yet again as the sea waves were also turned frozen, and the frozen sea expanded out quite far out, even leaving inland with frost on the buildings.
When Kyogre landed back into the water, a crash sound was heard. A massive splash bellowed, and the shockwaves from the crash shattered the ice on the water and leaving it to fall in random places throughout the sea.
Greninja got up to a knee. "Kyogre's…"
"Yeah." Future Greninja said, watching Kyogre emerge and growl at Levia, who winced from his body layered in cold ice. "Those attacks were nothing more than warmup shots for him."
Nic glowed and shifted into what was his dual Types. "Dark/Dragon!" When the glowed faded, Nic was within a serpentine tornado of fire that passed Lysandre as the man frowned. Lysandre looked back as the shooting fire did a 45 Degree turn overhead and shot up. The fire dissipated, and spreading his wings and roaring was Nic in said form. The coral red edging on his Draco Plate Form was replaced by a bright red; the laces, talons on the shoes, belt, and wing membrane were all a bright, fiery red. Royal blue remained as it usually was in the Draco Plate Form.
As Nic flapped, little embers emerged from his wings. He opened his mouth, where fire was surging with heavy intensity. "Inferno!" An extreme volume of blue fire spiraled and went burning the dark air, the actual negative molecules in the air seen cindering.
Lysandre smirked as he became dark shadows, dissipating as Inferno rushed towards him. The Inferno kept on going and a heated ripple expanded out from afar. The audience-in-terror saw a blue explosion in the skies.
Lysandre reappeared above with his dark purple aura as massive as was the vicious Shadow Ball he had conjured in his hands. Nic looked up and saw the Shadow Ball coming down onto him. He backed away and dodged the incoming attack, and the Ghost-Type assault plummeted downwards into Crocus.
What happened next was a moment of silence as the Shadow Ball disappeared, and then a black and purple explosion erupted, rattling the entire city of Crocus, making the battles going on momentarily cease and shoot glances at the explosion fading.
"That one blow…" Sting muttered.
"It would've annihilated Domus Flau if possible." Rogue said under his breath.
"You're just as powerful as ever, Lysandre." Nic said. "The more negative energy you take in, the more strength you gain."
"Do you not feel torn towards the despair?" Lysandre taunted. "Your kind has been plagued with ruin. You steal and take. You pillage for your own selfish gain." The lower half became dark shadows and he rushed after Nic, but Nic used his maneuverability and evaded Lysandre as best as he could. "I am the embodiment of sins, as I leave the skies pitch black. The moon before you is pitch black, and the stars withered away, just as Arceus shall when your heart shall be ripped out! Psybeam!"
"Dragon Pulse!"
Both Nic and Lysandre fired their attacks. A streaky blue beam with pink circles and a multicolored dragon-shaped beam blasted at the other, colliding in the middle and creating what was another intense eruption. Shockwaves filled the sky as the two attacks dissipated, leaving a standstill.
Or so it seemed. Nic's eyes dilated briefly before he ascended in a hurry, dodging Psybeam as it went through.
"Aura Sphere!" Lysandre manifested a sphere of blue aura and fired it at Nic. The sphere blasted like a rocket and Nic had his claws out. To Lysandre's dismay, Nic made Dragon Claw and in a flash bisected Aura Sphere. Nic kept on going and disregarded the explosion behind.
Nic passed Lysandre, making a trail of light blue with his Dragon Claw. Lysandre was caught in an explosion of light blue, to which he swiped away with his tail.
"You'll pay for that, Nic Pularis!" Lysandre turned around and put his hands together, sending a Swift attack at Nic. Yellow stars in golden sparkles went rotating through the skies and Nic took a sharp turn to look back at the incoming Swift.
He brought his draconic wings back as his eyes widened. "Heat Wave!" A massive wind of flames was sent forward when Nic brought the wings ahead. The Heat Wave met Swift, but the stars kept going through the hot winds, as though it was a ghost. Nic's eyes widened before he used his wings to block, taking the Swift.
"Nic!" Erza shouted.
The Heat Wave kept going, but Lysandre didn't bother moving. He instead closed his eyes and reopened them, sending a violent shockwave that overpowered Heat Wave. The Fire-Type move dissipated, and Nic lost momentum and the shockwaves of darkness sent him falling to the ground.
As he fell, Lysandre unleashed what was an earth-trembling Dark Pulse. "PERISH, FOOL!" His Dark Pulse shot downwards, looking like a black beam of pure rotting will. Much to everyone's shock Nic glowed while still falling and became his Sky Plate Form.
He maneuvered out of the way of Dark Pulse as the attack continued onwards, breaching and obliterating an entire building. Shockwaves bellowed from that catastrophic blow, and the nearby groundworks cracked apart.
Lysandre sneered. "Indefatigable."
"Air Slash!" Nic ascended higher in a slant and began twirling. His folded wings became light blue and spiraling saucers went at Lysandre. The slashing attack was only made futile, however, as Lysandre swiped his arm, sending a desolate, rotting Ominous Wind that was like a veil and expanded outwards. The hostile move completely overwhelmed Air Slash and made it disperse, and the Ominous Wind went out towards Nic as he kept spinning in, and the Ominous Wind collided with him, making him spiral out uncontrollably.
It only took a few moments, but Nic found some momentum, and circled around. As he circled around in an arc, Lysandre's smirk followed. Their eyes never left the other, as if they did, the other would gain the advantage. Lysandre learned full well of the power Nic had last time, so if he wasn't careful, he may end up close to the brink of death again.
'I won't let you win!' Both mentally declared.
Lysandre put his hands together, conjuring Dark Pulse again. The intense energy could be felt from miles away since the malevolent energy was so massive. Nic countered by glowing and shifting into his Insect Plate Form. His dragonfly wings held him up as he readied his move.
"Dark Pulse!"
"Bug Buzz!"
Red, high frequency shockwaves rampaged onwards and the wall of red met the Dark Pulse. The result of the two attacks colliding was a blinding light and a white explosion in the center. The Bug Buzz's shockwaves and frequency bounced all over the rooftops, rippling so hard that the buildings beneath crumbled to fractions.
The smoke dissipated, and Nic saw that Lysandre was not there. He was gone, possibly lurking around to find an opening. Nic felt a growing surge of dark pressure above him, and that was all he needed.
A dark purple hole opened up above, and Nic backed away to avoid Lysandre drop down from the dark hole, foul energy engrossing him to the brim. Lysandre grunted as his Phantom Force missed, but Nic used the opportunity at hand.
"X-Scissor!" Nic's eyes widened as he had his hands glow light blue and he crossed them, making a large X with magenta outlining. The Bug-Type move scored a powerful blow to Lysandre's side, making it sound like a jet crashed. The impact made Lysandre grunt as time seemed to slowed down.
He disappeared into shadows as the attack followed through. Nic lurched forward, his hands feeling a rotting energy from touching the man. He snapped out of it when Lysandre reappeared behind him with a smirk.
"Tenacious…but not good enough! Feint Attack!" Lysandre's eyes widened as his vermilion eyes dilated. His tail came from the side to strike Nic.
Nic turned around at the last second, using only his left hand the grab the tail end. The bone-shattering force rippled through his arm, but despite that, he remained stoic and pressed hard. His teeth clutched together as the direct contact was as painful as it was before, but it was of no matter as this was something he shall not fail at.
"You brat!" Lysandre scoffed.
"You're one to talk! Struggle Bug!" Nic's eyes flashed bright green, and at point-blank, the bright green comets bombarded Lysandre, making bright green bursts that pelted him profusely. Lysandre shot back and fell downward towards a lower altitude.
He stopped and jutted his arms up at Nic. "Psychic!"
Nic glowed and shifted his form again, becoming the Dread Plate Form by itself again. This meant he had lost his wings and he began descending, but this wasn't anything he couldn't handle. While he was immune to Psychic, this left him an opportunity to strike. "Feint Attack!"
He disappeared all of a sudden, and all were left shocked. He suddenly appeared above Lysandre, ready and planted a foot onto his head. However, Lysandre caught him without looking, and his grip was a very vicious one. He tossed Nic aside and his left arm jutted out, making a spatial portal. He made another Shadow Ball, one more potent than before, and shot it inside the portal, with it closing behind.
As Nic shot back, starting to descend due to gravity, he was left with much to no options. 'I gotta work fast!' He exclaimed mentally. Down beneath him a spatial portal opened up, and Nic looked down as his hands were put together and unsheathed a Night Slash.
A sudden pink crescent blade that was full of spatial energy went shooting out of the blue. Nic's eyes widened and he sheathed his attack and glowed to become his Draco Plate Form again. He shot straight up and evaded the pink crescent as it bisected Shadow Ball and ripped through the spatial portal, splicing it in two.
Shocked, Lysandre put his arms forward and unleashed a massive shockwave of darkness, one that rippled outwards, and the crescent ripped through it like it was nothing. Lysandre was struck head on by the impact, and he was engulfed in a dark pink explosion. The violent man bellowed intense cries of shrilling pain as the attack made a bright pink light in the skies. Everyone watching could've seen the space all around distort, and the molecules were all pink and vanished. The dark clouds in the sky all spread out and circled far outwards, showing a no different pitch black sky. Even the moon was pitch black, and they were too caught up as they fell back in their orbs as the shockwaves of the attack even went through their orbs, as if distorting and breaking through space itself.
"What was that?!" Levy exclaimed.
"That looked…like that attack that Palkia used!" Sophie configured.
She was right on the money as the explosion settled. Nic's heart pulsed from the adrenaline of that attack and Lysandre shook his head. His body had taken more than a few scratches. He looked with his violent vermilion eyes and saw Palkia on Nic's right.
"Palkia." He growled.
Palkia's pink aura outlined his body as always. He looked at Lysandre and disregarded how shocked Nic was.
"Palkia?" Nic questioned.
"Did you believe that we were not involved in this?" Palkia questioned.
A flashy white beam with hints of light blue went past Nic on his left. The massive Flash Cannon went through the atmosphere with ripples of exerted force reaching out. The Flash Cannon went towards Lysandre, but the monster was more than equipped to handle it. With one hand stretched out, he made an Aura Sphere and readied to intercept.
However, as he smirked, the Flash Cannon suddenly appeared right in front of him. With a gasp of shock, Lysandre was struck again by the booming assault, engulfed in a silver explosion of agony and light. Everyone watching covered up from the blinding light, as the attack had appeared out of nowhere.
Meredy watched with awe. "Did that attack teleport?!"
Ultear's eyes narrowed as she saw Lysandre brush the assault away, his grunts serving to guess the damage taken. "No, time slowed down for Lysandre."
On Nic's left, Dialga appeared and roared outwards, his body outlined in blue as usual. The ruler and embodiment of all time glared at Lysandre and looked determined.
"This battle shall not be fought without myself partaking!" He declared.
Lysandre's dark purple aura fumed further. "You…"
Nic had his eyes set on Lysandre as his hands had Dragon Claw ready. He spread his wings and went zooming in, with Dialga and Palkia following behind.
Future Rogue blasted light shadows at Future Nic just as he had became his Sky Plate Form. His Air Slash was fired, sending saucers that struck and met the light shadow, making another explosion in between the two. The two suddenly locked fists when they closed the distance between again, sending what was another crash sound around.
"Give up, Nic! Dragons are superior, and you know it!" Future Rogue reasoned.
His response was not a pleasant one. Instead of verbal, he got a Wing Attack that swatted his left side. Future Rogue slid off to the side and got a hand to the ground.
"Then perhaps I should give a demonstration…" Future Nic's voice trailed off as he was gathering what was green energy waves. Future Rogue and everybody else in the sky felt what was an incredible mass of power resonating from Nic.
"What…what the…?!" Future Rogue felt the atmosphere around get a little light, and air currents began to surge around Nic, becoming a thick green as they closed in. A green dome encompassed Nic, and Future Rogue was feeling an overwhelming pressure build up.
Future Nic barely looked visible as the energy was starting to make his silhouette become black inside. The eyes glowed yellow, and then the dome went shut, slowly compressing into a cocoon of sorts.
Future Rogue looked beyond startled. 'This force…no, it can't be! This is the same as…!' He recalled the Grand Magic Games, where he was overwhelmed, even in Dragon Force by this unbelievable power. His pupils dilated. 'No, I can't let this happen! I'm stronger than his powers! I am the next Dragon King!' He cloaked his hand in light shadow. "Nic Pularis, the world shall crumble at my fingers, and you stand in my way! HYYAAAHHH!"
A massive blast of light shadow went towards Future Nic, leaving a shattered trail along the flat rooftop. The attack rattled the entire building, and yet the green cocoon was undeterred.
A pulse suddenly went outwards. The cocoon suddenly exploded outwards, and with it were green and dense shockwaves that had loud, ear-splitting dragon roars bellowing as a bonus. The green waves were so immense that Future Rogue fell onto his back harshly, and the edging of the rooftop completely fell apart.
What was a small whirlwind around Future Nic dissipated, and this left Future Rogue to get up in haste.
"What…he…?!" His eyes widened, and everyone else was just as morally shocked beyond repair. For the second time, they all saw Nic Pularis undergo what was a maelstrom of a change.
He was actually floating the air. He sported a green headpiece that looked draconic. Like his Groudon Legendary Force, it stopped beneath the nose line, and the top of the headpiece had a big yellow oval with green filling the middle. Future Nic's eyes were black with yellow pupils and black sclera. In the corners of the headpieces were horn-like structures. Two jutted up, and two jutted from the sides of the headpiece, seemingly from the cheeks. The back of the neck had yellow lines running down from the back of Future Nic's hair.
Over the black t-shirt was the coat, which looked more like scales than anything. The edging was black and the coat was green. On the back of the coat were two het-like wings that were green and edged in red. The shoulders had boubous pauldrons that were round and green. The arms were also the same green color that even went to the hands. He also appeared to have sharp claws. The belt was a solid black, and the buckle was a complete yellow oval. The pants were green and had yellow ovals on the side, three on each leg and connected to one another by small yellow lines. His feet were green, and the shoes were not present, showing his toes instead having claws. The shins had the same wings that the back of the coat did.
The coat itself was far longer, and was approximately three times as big, but the last 2/3 of it looked like a super long tail. The rest of the coat beneath the belt had yellow ovals on the sides, and they reached down past the feet, where the sturdy tail started, and were segments of three-wing parts started. The rest of the way down towards the tail end was no different than from Rayquaza above, who shot a quick glance down at Nic to see what he's become. He roared in approval before looking back and dodging another beam from Motherglare.
Future Rogue looked startled. "No way…"
Future Nic let out a screeching roar, showing his sharp teeth. His long tail connected to his coat swayed left and right as he gained a few feet in altitude. The screeching roar rippled outwards, rattling the nearby tall structures, as well as many spines watching.
"Legendary Force – Rayquaza!" Future Nic bellowed.
Goosebumps went up Future Rogue's spine, a great level of power resonating from Future Nic, as well as the ongoing Legendary Pokémon fighting. He was left momentarily open for Future Nic to gather energy in his mouth and multicolored energy began shaping.
"Dragon Pulse!" Future Nic shouted, sending a massively large Dragon Pulse at Future Rogue. The recipient blocked with a swipe of his arm making a wall of light shadow to absorb the Dragon Pulse. To his shock and horror, the Dragon Pulse went straight through the light shadow like it was tissue paper, scoring a direct hit on Future Rogue.
Future Rogue was hit so hard by the explosion that he shot to another flat building top nearby, tumbling over and thudding on his side. He stood back up, seeing Future Nic swerve through the air towards him like Rayquaza did as said dragon went and used Extreme Speed, zipping into Motherglare and making another explosion of green erupt, causing the Adamantine Dragon to fall backwards in the sky.
Angered with the tide against him, Future Rogue was engulfed in shadows. "I won't lose my throne! The world is mine!"
Future Nic roared again, rattling the airspace. All of the blade wings on him gave a light blue glow. He swerved his body in a full circle, finishing up with a whip of his tail. Air Slash went blasting at Future Rogue and the Dragon Slayer's shadow swerved past the saucers, barely escaping the catastrophic blades as they sliced through the sky, as well as the rooftop and straight through in a slant to penetrate the entire structure, causing whole place to come down.
Future Rogue emerged from the shadow and became light to pierce Future Nic, but his efforts were in vain as Future Nic swerved his body around the light like a coil and Future Rogue did a sharp turn back, but again Future Nic dodged with no problem made.
"Hold still!" Future Rogue blitzed in light and blasted off after him, his light becoming whispy and increasing in density.
Future Nic hollered out at Future Rogue and he brought his long tail back. With a massive whack of his tail. Future Nic socked the light that was Future Rogue, and the light deflected off in another direction. Future Nic opened his mouth and blasted forth yet another Dragon Pulse, this one just as potent as before. The light was struck hard, and the explosion sent another shockwave, shattering rooftop edges.
Future Rogue emerged from the smoke and sank down onto another building top, leaving a thick trail embedded in the flat roofing.
Future Nic roared into the air, his serpentine coat swerving.
Reshiram looked down as he saw Carraigia struggling. He was frustrated and very fatigued from the actual damage, and the heat of Reshiram was so immense that it was making Carraigia steam. The rocks on his body were also seemingly giving into the heat, having a few ridged on his back melted, making him feel a massive burn.
"You insulant white flier!" Carraigia opened his mouth, firing a bright orange roar into the sky. Reshiram of course flapped his wings and sailed around, dodging the roar. Carraigia's head turned to follow Reshiram, but Reshiram was too fast for him.
Reshiram regained his balance and he opened his mouth again. Instead of Dragon Pulse, the tips of his ears became hot and red. His engine-like tail had begun to flare with intense heat. The whole area around was starting to get super warm.
Everyone watching Reshiram could feel an extraordinary level of power generating in front, and a fireball with streaking blames expanded in front. "Fusion Flare!" Reshiram fired the powerful fireball without a second thought. The fireball was like a bright light of doom and Carraigia couldn't escape.
A shrill roar bellowed as an explosion of fire erupted, being seen from afar. Even Natsu could've felt the intense heat from his sphere.
Zekrom roared in the skies. As the two Garchomp looked up and saw Zekrom starting to engulf in electricity, a massive load of it, the two retreated off of Scissor Runner, and they landed on the ground. They looked up as lightning and thunder bellowed around Zekrom.
Zekrom's engine-like tail was starting to make a sound. "You're stubborn." He admitted. His body was then engulfed in what seemed to be an area or sphere of violet electricity. The electricity was massively potent, and violet electricity surged all around, leaving fried trails along the ground. "Fusion Bolt!"
Zekrom flew down into the super slow Scissor Runner. The attack was like a ticking time bomb and Zekrom discharged a massive amount of electricity, emitting shocking shockwaves upon hitting Scissor Runner. The Dragon's roar bellowed through the sound of thunder, and the ground beneath cracked further, having violet electricity run through and underneath until it exploded violently.
Through the smoke, Zekrom floated out with a growl and watched Scissor Runner growl backed, albeit weakly and he got to a knee, static frying his nerves.
"You…impudent fool." Scissor Runner groaned.
Kyurem jumped back and dodged Zirconis's tail, which demolished nearby rubble. Kyurem glared up at Zirconis as the Jade Dragon, despite his heavy bruising, had a smirk.
"Getting cold feet now, are we?" Zirconis taunted.
Kyurem saw no joke implied as his entire body was frozen. Kyurem let out another roar, shaking the ground. At that instant, Kyurem's entire body began to mist, and both Staraptor nearby knew that something big was gonna happen. They both flew high and away as the whole street and area became layered in solid ice, showing how cold Kyurem was becoming. Zirconis looked at the ground, seeing how it had frost and ice all over.
The temperature dropped rapidly, and Zirconis's eyes widened. "What's happening?!" His shock continued on as Kyurem raised his head and massive icicles, the size of Kyurem himself, all materialized over Zirconis, circling overhead and pointed down at him.
"Cold feet you say? Well I say you're cold hearted…and dead!" Kyurem let out another screech, rattling the icy ground. "Glaciate!" The Ice-Type attack made way for Zirconis, and the Dragon roared as all he could possibly see above was a flash of icy blue glints in the sky. Everything to him was a blinding light before horror struck his frosted-up body.
The ice spikes punctured and pierced his body. The dozens of ice spikes all rained down, and Zirconis's right wing, left waist, knee, and his chest. The force of the attack sent an icy shockwave around, and the ground underneath completely shattered, the ice blowing into random directions. Kyurem was unfazed as ice scattered everywhere, and the mist of cold air and frost cleared.
Lyon and Gray both had awe that Kyurem's attack was clearly a frigid disaster, and they never saw such raw ice power, which surpassed their Master, Ur. Kyurem and the two Staraptor watched as the frozen land around them slowly began to fade away into frost alone.
Zirconis fell backwards, his eyes going hazy and devoid of any life. He thudded loudly, making a crater in the ground. His injuries ultimately led to his expiration.
Kyurem roared in glory as he obtained victory. Wendy and Laxus looked especially shocked to say the least, though Wendy showed more horror than the formal expression.
Escuronix fired a dark beam from his mouth, shooting it at Groudon. The Ground-Type did not falter as he opened his mouth, where molten rocks, which was his Solar Beam, was unleashed on towards the beam. The two beams collided, but the stalemate was short-lived for Escuronix as Solar Beam broke through, and the green beam struck his chest. Escuronix groaned as Solar Beam made him slide back along the deserted streets, and the beam soon ended, leaving Escuronix to collapse to a knee.
"No way!" Gajeel exclaimed.
Groudon had his patience, and he lost it after Escuronix struggled back up to both knees. His body was coated in lava energy, and instantly everything got super warm. The ground beneath Escuronix was quaking hard, and lava cracks were surfacing underneath.
Groudon bellowed up towards the sky, and he brought his huge armored hands forward. "Begone! Precipice Blades!" Jutting up from the ground were hundreds of lava-covered incandescent pillars that arose all over the place. Escuronix looked in peril as the spikes jutted around him, and a violent roar echoed as a Precipice Blade struck him from below, piercing through his chest.
An enormous lava explosion erupted, and Escuronix was dead silent as his whole being was swallowed in the explosion of lava, incinerating the ground and leaving small fireballs of shards to rain down o=along the sides.
Both Kecleons watched in awe and shock, as did Gajeel, as Escuronix's entire abdominal area had showed the fried insides. The insides were nothing but ash, and Escuronix's skin was charred and reduced to black. He fell backwards with a thud, dead.
Kyogre emerged from the sea once more as Levia was straight overhead. Both Greninja watched from the shores as Kyogre was directly underneath Levia. Their eyes were wide as they knew what was gonna happen.
"The power of the sea shall swamp your soul!" All around Kyogre, light blue orbs comprised of so much pressure began to build up, and they had an extreme around of aquatic force swelling within.
Levia's eyes widened. "NO!"
He was too late to dodge as Kyogre's light blue orbs touched his abdomen.
"Origin Pulse!" Kyogre roared as massively powerful blue beams shot like lasers. The waves all around went wild as they even crashed against the shores, forcing both Greninja to hold their ground. Levia's abdomen was engulfed in the attack, and he roared in agonizing pain and anguish as he was eventually swallowed up in a roaring explosion of blue that shot straight up into the sky.
Everyone gaped their mouths in shock as Kyogre's attack soon dissipated, leaving a jet like sound to annihilate the sound barrier and it reached all across Crocus. The glints of Origin Pulse faded, and Kyogre was seen staring up from the shallow seas as Levia was immobile in the air.
His entire front had fried marks, and his abdomen had blood. Scrapes were on his torn fins, and his wings were reduced to tattered remains. The Dragon roared weakly one last time before he sailed out of the sky, crash landing onto the shores on his side, defeated and expired.
Kyogre growled lowly in victory, and Gajeel stared in deep shock.
"You…dare!" Carraigia bellowed. He roared and violently shook his body uncontrollably, regarding the two Arbok that were on his back once more. Both snakes held on and they each looked at another. The bellowing didn't get to them as they knew what had to be done.
"Let'sssss do thisssss!" Arbok declared.
Both Arboks slithered towards the upper back while another slithered past the rocks on his back, being cautious of the melted ones. When both Arboks got into position, they raised their tails in unison.
"Earthquake!"
Both Arboks brought their tails down at the same time, slamming them onto Carraigia's back. Carraigia felt his whole body vibrate. While he didn't feel any pain, he did feel a great discomfort running through his back as shockwaves and ripples rampaged through even all of his limbs. It was ticklish, and yet at the same time it wasn't. The vibrations were so strong that he couldn't even move. The ground beneath was affected by Earthquake as well, having weaker vibrations and making debris crumble nearby, but otherwise was fine.
With Carraigia feeling vibrations, both Arboks lunged off of the Rock Dragon as Reshiram was high above and his tail engine was engulfed in a huge amount of pressurized fire. The heat was so intense by the pressure that the fire actually turned blue.
A vortex of blue ire was seen in Reshiram's mouth, and as both Arbok slithered a safe distance away, Carraigia's 'massage' was a completely faux when he was really distracted for what shall be a scorching finish.
"Blue Flare!" Reshiram roared, firing a torrent of blue flames, one of the hottest flames ever known. The torrent of roaring fire closed in, and Carraigia screamed in agony. He was hit by Blue Flare, ending up with his whole rock-hard body engulfed in a massive inferno. The heated rock on his body gave in, and Carraigia was engulfed in a blue explosion that erupted upwards. Blue fire shot into the sky, making all of Crocus feel heated.
When the flames died, Reshiram looked with a serious gaze. The whole area around was cindering and reduced to ashes. Reshiram looked relived as Carraigia's body was still present, yet a majority of the rocks on his body were melted away, leaving cinder and melted debris scattered. The Rock Dragon roared weakly before his molten injuries made him succumb, and he expired.
Garchomp roared and had used his left toes and right arm fin to hold off Scissor Runner's facial pincers. Scissor Runner growled as he cried crushing Garchomp, but he was too stubborn and had surprisingly an enormous amount of muscle packed in his body.
"You're nothing special! Do you hear me?!" Garchomp bellowed, struggling to keep his body from getting pincered. As impressive as his training and exercise paid off, he was still facing a copious amount of pressure. Still, he won't falter that easily.
"Dragon Rush!" Future Garchomp came from the side and his draconic attack struck the left side of Scissor Runner's face. A draconic explosion bellowed, and Scissor Runner's head reeled to the side, enough to make him lose his grip and nearly fall over. He caught himself and looked back in the sky, but only saw the two Garchomp gaining altitude as Zekrom took over from there on.
Scissor Runner looked on as the electrical generator in Zekrom's tail had begun to spin. A generator sound was heard all over and his body was beginning to get engulfed in so much voltage. Electricity, a massive amount of it, had surged, and random and massive bolts of lightning shot all over as he roared. The bolts trailed all over the area, and Scissor Runner watched in horror as Zekrom came crashing down.
"Bolt Strike!"
Zekrom roared as he looked like a meteor of lightning. Scissor Runner's world had been obliterated in a flash as Zekrom rushed into him with so much voltage and raw power. Another earth-rattling explosion expanded outwards, sending a beam of lightning into the sky. The sound of thunder roared for miles around, crackling lightning into the sky.
When the bolt faded with static in the corrosive winds, Zekrom was seen in the sky, looking down with a steadily gaze as there was a massive crater, and within it was Scissor Runner, his skin in static and his life short circuited.
Motherglare roared, sending another beam at Rayquaza, but the dragon serpentine and spiraled his whole body around the beam, much to everyone's increased shock. The beam continued on, exploding out in the pitch black skies in a flash. Motherglare's eyes widened when Rayquaza past him, causing the Dragon to lose a small sense of balance and had to turn his whole body, but Rayquaza was nowhere above, much to his disbelief.
"Where'd he go?" Motherglare wondered. He looked around to only find the two Charizard in the distance, but why so far?
His answer came when Rayquaza suddenly came in from below with what was an Extreme Speed once again. The dragon's pulsing blast chomped down on the exposed underside, creating a large explosion of draconic energy, making Motherglare roar weakly.
Rayquaza swerved back into the high altitude, reaching eye-level with Motherglare as his underside was still smoking. With him hindered, Rayquaza used this opportunity and his body had a green outline.
"It's time we break through your defenses, once and more all!" Rayquaza declared. His body swerved a bit as it had also become outlined in a green aura. Said aura was packed full of intense power. Jellal's eyes widened when this level of power was beyond what he could have expected in a million years.
Motherglare roared one more time in defiance as Rayquaza sped on in, becoming a green missile. "Dragon Ascent!"
Rayquaza was a green line passing Motherglare, and when he past him, the serpentine dragon's green outline faded away. He put on the air brakes and looked on ahead as Motherglare didn't move, neither did Rayquaza. It didn't seem like anything happened, but after a few seconds, a ripple finally exerted from Motherglare and he was engulfed in a green rupture. He roared in agony, his blood spilling from his mouth as his adamantine scales on his back and wings were all penetrated.
The majority of his scales shattered like porcelain, and the shards fell to the ground, as did Motherglare as his mind went blank.
All eyes were wide in sheer shock as Rayquaza roared once again, bellowing outwards as Motherglare hit the ground, making a rupture and a shockwave leveled the area, making his bruised and bloody corpse lay along the shattered adamantine scales he had chunked off, especially a massive amount from when Rayquaza struck mainly his right side.
Future Rogue's hand was embedded in light and shadow. He pulled it back and slashed forward, but he was met with his assault being blocked by one hand by Future Nic, dissipating the light and shadows. Future Rogue's eye widened. "No…!"
"I told you before, you're not half the menace Lysandre is. He was just using you; you were his entertainment until we arrived. The reality of your dream will never come to pass! Not ever!" Future Nic's mouth opened, revealing his sharp teeth. "Crunch!"
He sank his fangs into Future Rogue's side, making the Dragon Slayer grunt in pain at the huge jaw power.
Future Nic's long tail suddenly began to spiral and coil around Future Rogue. As they spun, Future Nic let go of his mouthful and hauled his body and Future Rogue's into the air above. The air pressure intensified and Future Rogue found it hard to retain a straight focus.
"Let…go!" He struggled to shouted. Using his Magic, he became a shadow and escaped Future Nic's coils. Future Nic straightened out and swerved upwards as Future Rogue manifested back into himself again in midair.
In midair, he looked angry and took to a realization something happened. When he looked around the city, his eyes widened in disbelief. "No…" To his shock, he saw all of the Legendary Pokémon had triumphed over his Dragons, all of their lives ending. All six were brutally beaten down, and Future Rogue was caught spacing out. "No…my dream…"
Future Nic roared high into the air as his body exerted a green outline. Future Rogue looked up in deep horror as Future Nic dove at him. "Maxus Legendary Arts – Dragon Ascent!"
With blinding speed, he became a green blur that zipped past Future Rogue in the air. The force generated an immense explosion and Future Rogue screamed in agony and a ripple extended outwards. The attack for Future Nic faded, and he swerved back around in the skies, looking down as Future Rogue plummeted below. He fell thousands of feet, smashing into the pavement in a ten-foot crater. His entire attire was torn apart, and his eyes were devoid of any strength, leaving Future Nic to roar in triumph.
Lysandre fired another Dark Pulse, but as it traveled after Nic, a blue ripple emerged from Dialga as the diamond on his chest shined. The Dark Pulse suddenly got much slower, giving Nic the opportunity to maneuver around and ascend greatly.
Palkia appeared from the side of Lysandre as time was gradually slowed down for him. His eyes widened when Palkia raised a claw, where he made a dense Dragon Claw and brought the claw in a slash. The harsh impact on Lysandre made him take a shockwave-making blast and shoot backwards in the pitch black sky.
Time returned normal or Lysandre as he shot backwards. The ghastly man retained his posture and made an Aura Sphere in his hands. He fired it at Palkia, and the ruler of space had his two pearls shine brightly, and the magenta markings on him glowed a bright pink. The airspace in front began to ripple pink, and the Aura Sphere hit the ripples, but never passed through.
"What?!" Lysandre bellowed.
He was distracted long enough for Nic to appear behind, where he slashed at Lysandre's back with Dragon Claw as well, making Lysandre grunt as he faltered away. As Lysandre fell, Nic opened his mouth and began to ready Dragon Pulse.
"No you don't!" Lysandre reached his arm out, and a spatial portal emerged.
Dialga opened his mouth, where another Flash Cannon was conjuring. Silver light began to manifest and he had it all packed in an orb in front. He let it all out, and a Flash Cannon went beaming towards Lysandre.
"How predictable." He growled. Lysandre made a second spatial portal in front of his other hand, where the Flash Cannon went into. To Dialga's disbelief, the Flash Cannon appeared out of the spatial hole aimed at Nic, and the Flash Cannon went at him.
Nic fired his charged Dragon Pulse and let loose as much power as possible, the attack struck Flash Cannon, generating a smoky explosion that ruptured the airspace yet again. As the smoke cleared, the Flash Cannon ploughed through, and Nic maneuvered out of the way to evade it.
Flash Cannon made a shining light that exploded in the distance, startling more of the audience.
Nic, Dialga, and Palkia were all in a standoff as they surrounded Lysandre. The violent man growled low and his body's aura began to manifest some catastrophic winds. His eyes dilated as the levels of hatred and frustration had begun piling on further.
Lysandre flashed open his eyes, unleashing a very disruptive Ominous Wing in all directions. The dark winds went all around like a hurricane, expanding out quickly and making Nic and the two Legendaries scream as they shot backwards from the maelstrom that continued to bellow forth reducing little trees on the ground to dead, withering ones.
Lysandre's bloody red canines showed as he caught sight of Nic as the latter was straightening out. He opened his mouth and loops began surging around him. A blue orb swelled in front. "Dragon Brea-!"
A green glint has seen passing Lysandre, striking him in an upward slant. Time slowed down, showing the shock to everyone's faces. Erza and Vanessa's eyes were wide as they saw the green glint being Future Nic.
Lysandre's eyes were still feral, and they seemingly intensified. 'Two Nics…this…!'
Future Nic slanted upwards and swerved through the skies as his Dragon Ascent had met its mark, making Lysandre get engulfed in a green explosion, and his Dragon Breath collapsed altogether, making a green and blue explosion engulf him.
Future Nic swerved through the air until he circled around and met up with Nic's side. "Sorry for the wait."
Nic grinned in confidence. "It's fine. We got him on the ropes now. Let's…"
"You two…"
Nic's entire forces all looked up and felt what was cold and shriveling wave running through their veins. Lysandre's monotone voice bellowed in what could've been the most hostile growl ever to have penetrated their ears. The explosion faded away, revealing Lysandre as his skin was completely pale, and his eyes were black with the vermilion slits feral.
His dark energy never stopped escalating. All the hate he was feeling, the vision of two Nics, meaning two Pokémon of each of their six. The remembrance of them defeating him back in Kalos all those years ago didn't die off. The more he recalled the determined faces of theirs, the more agitated and thicker his aura became, eventually making the calm duo become startled as Lysandre's hatred was fueling his own power.
"NIC PULARIS!" Lysandre roared.
Dark shockwaves rampaged all around, quaking the seas that Kyogre was in, shattering any remnants of stone all around, and making Mavis's eyes tear up as the purest of light she'd always known become tainted from this unfathomable power.
The pitch black sky all around began to look…distorted. Even Palkia was left baffled as the skies were having waves of blood red, dark purple, and pitch black. Among that was red and purple lightning crackling uncontrollably, of which Zekrom couldn't seem to manipulate.
"You've gone and made me die. You suffered no attention in your childhood and you still wish to save humanity. You want to be the bleeding scorn in my way! YOUR EXISTENCE IS A NUISANCE!" Lysandre's bellowing sent dark ripples all around. All of the two Nics' Pokémon hurriedly gathered up in the streets and looked up with the other Legendaries as so much blood red and purple lightning gathered in one place within the sky. Within the gathering maelstrom of shrilled wailing, what seemed to be a swirling vortex appeared over Lysandre's head as his arms were overhead and the dark purple aura around him began to burst with blood red. His vermilion eyes dilated as he emanated violent screams and wailing.
Dark pillars of rotting intensity manifested, rising up all over the place. Everyone looked down as segments of Crocus was completely reduced to obliteration. The dead Dragons in the area were all consumed in pillars of wailing darkness, the shadows and demons within them reducing them to not even blood marks on the streets.
As all of the dead Dragons and buildings were reduced to nothing more than an unmemorable existence, Future Rogue's body was violently shaking in the crater. "This power…he…he set me up." The ground beneath him slowly cracked as blood red shadows began to converge from below.
"He had me set up from the beginning. Are Pokémon…truly this powerful…?" The blood red and dark shadows began to rise further and arched down onto him. "I WANTED TO BECOME THE RULER OF THE WORLD! THAT THRONE WAS MINE! MIIIIIIINE!"
He screamed in agony, and was cut off when the shadows slammed into him, wrapping him into a cocoon that left his shrilled screams silent. The cocoon thus imploded, and Future Rogue was no more as the shadows reduced him to not even molecules. The shadows spilled all around, and not even blood or bone remained.
All of Nic's Pokémon were fortunately spared as the pillars of darkness and shadows stopped going nuts, and they all instead were sucked up into the pitch black void within the sky. Their skin and scales crawled with anticipation as a distortion void spiraled in the sky.
Palkia's eyes widened. "Oh no…"
"I'm afraid so. We're too late." Dialga said.
Nic's eyes looked worrisome. "What's going on?!"
Future Nic's claws clenched. His fangs gritted as his serpentine body looked distressed. "No…this is very bad." He said. He was so distressed that he couldn't swallow. "Lysandre, he…"
Nic looked up into the sky, and everyone's hearts stopped, literally, when four figures with dark purple outlines began to close in from above. His eyes widened and dilated.
"Lysandre had finally gathered enough negative energy and emotions." Future Nic cursed. "That monster was wearing down the seal keeping Giratina and the others in the void. And now he finally gathered the right amount of dark matter and heinous thought, making it a portal…" His eyes narrowed. "To undo the seal."
"My Masters, ARISE!" Lysandre bellowed into the sky.
Out of the pitch black void in the sky, silent as a grave, Giratina in his Altered Form emerged, his Satan-like glare making all fall to their knees in their spheres. Atlas Flame himself felt vulnerable and trembling.
"It can't be…" Natsu's body shook as Giratina, Mewtwo, Darkrai, and Hoopa all emerged from the spatial distortion above.
Future Lucy covered her mouth, gasping. "No…the Dragons and everything…this wasn't supposed to happen! Nic knew this, and he didn't tell me?!" Her tears flowed as she looked down. "No…no…no…" Her voice got weaker and weaker. "This was the true end."
The Dark Legendaries all flew around and let out dark rippling cries, making souls tremble. They all gathered around Lysandre as the energy around him only escalated further. The distortion in the void above only expanded further. Blood red, dark purple, and pitch black lightning crackled and swirled in the skies.
The heinous energy could be seen from space. All of Earth Land was engulfed in this bizarre and monstrous dark colored lightning and sky. Every person populated around was scared, even the bravest of warriors, to the coldest of hearts. Even foreigners and strong Mages specializing in space and darkness, they all trembled and felt an almighty Hell eat the supposed Hell for breakfast and the seas turned to dark water, almost as black as ink. The wildlife all around, even the purest and eldest of trees, were nothing more than withering twigs that fell over.
Giratina's deep and demonic chuckle could be heard from miles, making all in their spheres shut their eyes and cover their ears from the insidious sound penetrating their ear drums. "Well done, Lysandre. We are free, and all shall become rotting corpse that shall not even have bones to call their own."
Darkrai held up a fist. "The eternal nightmare shall bring a new era of only darkness and silence. The void and universe shall merge, making all life start from zero."
"Hell yeah!" Hoopa screeched. "About time! Now we can show these worthless lifeforms why we deserve the universe!"
"Leave none standing. Defeat any and all with dare stand. Not even fabrication shall be in my sight. Everything must fall to us." Mewtwo said. "Lysandre, you have our gratitude for your services."
Lysandre smirked as he still had his sights on the two Nic before him. "Gratitude is for the weak. I want blood!"
Mewtwo's eyes narrowed. "As do we."
Giratina screeched into the skies, making dark ripples bellow. "You have earned this right! Slaughter Nic! And bring the universe crumbling down!"
All four of the Dark Legendaries' eyes flashed blood red, their hatred and contempt boiling to a point where the space around them was distorting, encompassing Lysandre in a dark, corrosive cloud. The energy would've killed even a single soul if too close. Everyone felt Lysandre and the Dark Legendaries' power further increase with their savage-hearted intentions booming.
Blood red and purple lightning flashed, and Lysandre's maniacal laughter became louder. The cloud of evil even went and covered up the Dark Legendaries.
They all felt an energy shift in the dark air, and threw it, they saw shapes changing. Roaring and grunts could be heard. The blossoming cloud of what appeared to be blood red had finally dissipated, showing a few figures changing. Both Nics looked beyond horrified at the alterations made, and they felt more than startled as their hearts stopped.
Hoopa was far bigger than before. He looked like an oversized goblin with detached arms. His tail was pointed and magenta with light blue all around included. The large legs were light blue with the front having magenta lines running down towards the yellow pointed ends of the feet. Two rings were at the shins. Above the ring that acted like a belt, Hoopa's abdominal area looked bizarre. Six enormous magenta curves, three on each side, had hollow holes. The very center of Hoopa had a massive ring, and inside was nothing but pitch black. The magenta chin and back of the neck covered for the light blue throat. His face was light blue, and his teeth were seen, mainly two large ones sticking up from the lower jaw. The black nose was accompanied by sharp magenta eyes. The ears had two rings at the base, and they looked like black horns. Hoopa had a massive magenta ponytail pointed up like a madman's. The creepiest part was the fact he had six detached arms with three claws. Yellow rings were on each wrist, and the base had a black spike that was bound by a yellow ring.
Mewtwo had also altered. He was larger and bulkier than his usual self. The horns on the head were longer and made it to the V-shaped protrusions on the forehead. The horns were pointed and curved upwards. Two tubes were on the back of his head, and the eyes were a venomous blue. Large purple growths were on his shoulders, almost like pauldrons. The limbs were longer and bulkier, and yet the stomach was smoother. Thighs and forearms both had two raised ridges. The tail had become slightly smaller and stiffer with a curled end.
And then came the most horrific change of them all, Giratina, Mega Mewtwo, Hoopa, and Darkrai all roared into the bloody cloud that consumed Lysandre. The cloud dissipated, revealing Lysandre was a completely different monster.
Future Nic's eyes widened, as did his Pokémon's. "Oh god…it's him."
Nic's eyes, as well as his Pokémon's, were all wide with horror at the revelation established. "Lysandre, he…"
Lysandre had altered completely. He had an intricate gold crest-like crown on his forehead, much like what Giratina had. His man-like hair was more spiky and pointed up more. The sideburns and sides of the hair were blood red, while the top was pitch black. His small beard included was blood red. His face and neck were light gray, with the eyes and sclera pitch black with the pupils being vermilion still, only sharper and more feral-looking.
Around the collar bone in a V-shape like Nic's shirt usually is, there were blood red pointed ridges similar to Darkrai's. The shoulders were instead massive golden ridges that went below the red perimeter, connecting to a massive golden ring in his center with the inside swirling pitch black, blood red, and dark purple. It was like a black hole almost. Like before, golden claws, three on each side, were around his rib cage. An upside down purple arch was below the middle ring, acting like edging of the coat. His pants seemed to be combined with his legs, which were pitch black and longer and bulkier, like Mega Mewtwo. The two ridges on the thighs were lined in purple. The shins had black lines around a red line, a set of two with two golden spikes on each ring. The shoes were gone and instead were three toes with blood red claws. The tail was now dark purple and slightly stiffer. Two golden spikes were on the bulbous end still, but the tail had magenta on the upper half and covering the bulbous tail. The underside had dark and red rings, like the shins did, resembling parts of Giratina.
The scariest part included that that his arms were detached as well. His arms were now four, and instead, the ends were white whisps that were bound to the hands by dark purple rings. Each of the four hands were pitch black, but each forearm resembled Hoopa Unbound, Darkrai, Mega Mewtwo, and for Giratina, it looked like his wing with three blood red claws, the same claws on his Hoopa hand. The wrists all had dark purple rings.
Around him was instead a blood red aura, and his blood red fangs showed. This power they sensed, it left their spines stiff, everyone's. Lysandre let loose a catastrophic blood red shockwave that made the two Nics and Dialga and Palkia shoot away, grunting.
When they straightened out, Future Nic looked terrified as his teeth gritted. "He's been given greater power born from hatred…he's…"
Lysandre raised all of his four detached arms, sending blood red and pitch black distortion waves all around him and the Dark Legendaries. "I am…RAGNAROK LYSANDRE!"
His bellowing echoed outwards, reaching all across Earth Land and pierced into the hearts of the purest and most sinister, bringing them to a standstill.
Giratina looked satisfied and his demonic eyes were set on Nic. "Kill the boys! KILL THEM ALL!"
The Dark Legendaries readied to attack, and the Legendaries and Pokémon on Nic's side were all unnerved.
A sudden roar in the distance got their attention. The roar bellowed as loudly as can be. The sound of what was a fighter jet was off near the sea.
"What was that?" Greninja asked.
The sound echoed again like a roar.
Kecleon tilted her head. "Doomsday sucks."
The sound echoed louder and louder, and Cana was inside her sphere as more fear piled on. "It can't be."
"I know that sound." Gajeel said.
Natsu's eyes widened. The same creature from all those years back, he had returned. "No way, it's him!"
Mavis shuddered. "How was that monster drawn towards here? Was he…looking for revenge?"
"That's the same sound, the sound of something who nearly ended us on Tenrou Island." Makarov muttered. The sound echoed again as the sound barrier broke, and all saw a black dragon fly in the pitch black sky.
The Dragon Slayers; Sting, Rogue, all of them, saw with their own eyes of a familiar creature soaring across the dark waters.
Cana's eyes shuddered more as she recalled the incident of Tenrou Island. "Why are we suffering this again?!"
Roaring through the skies, everyone present saw Acnologia bare his teeth. Lahar and Doranbolt both couldn't believe who they were seeing, Crime Sorciere and all guilds and citizens were cowardly enough already, but this seemed like icing on the cake.
"Acnologia?!" Sting shouted.
The whole population despaired as the Dragon King went sailing in, passing underneath so many distortion orbs, and yet they all didn't feel the wind, as if that was distorted around them. The Back Dragon had eyes full of rage as he went after the Legendary Pokémon all around.
Rayquaza, Groudon, and Kyogre all turned around to see Acnologia advance. Rayquaza roared again. "Him again?!"
Kyogre roared as well. "I thought he learned the last time!"
"What is he here for?" Groudon demanded.
Acnologia roared as he felt an overwhelming sense of evil. This level of foreboding power mixed with the Legendaries was what he was sensing. He wanted to crush it. He wanted to dominate, and perish this dark power to show that he shall never have his reputation sullied again. The scars all over him were painful reminders of how he lost, and he wouldn't accept that again. His goal was set on the source – Ragnarok Lysandre and the Dark Legendaries.
Ragnarok Lysandre's smirk was shown. "Well, well, what do we have here?"
"Fuel to the flames of corrosion." Hoopa said, looking glee.
Mega Mewtwo held up a clenched fist, an unimaginable power swelling from him. "This is where we shall leave a reminder that this Dragon had made the biggest mistake of his life."
Acnologia roared again, closing the physical distance.
"This damaged fool shall fall." Giratina stated, his dark stare glaring daggers into all who would look at Satan himself. "Eliminate him."
Acnologia opened his mouth and fired a roar. The attack went beaming after the dark overlords, passing by the two Nics, Dialga, and Palkia. The assault beamed closer, but the bloody look of Ragnarok Lysandre wasn't at all annoyed, rather amused.
His smirk increased further as his blood red aura flared, and all spines in the orbs could feel their blood grow cold as Ragnarok Lysandre reached his Giratina hand out, and a spatial hole was made, a large one. The roar was taken in as a hole, and Natsu was beyond baffled as Acnologia's attack was once again stopped like it was seven years ago.
"Im…possible." Natsu shuddered, the dark energy still flaring like crazy.
Acnologia stopped his roar when he saw the spatial portal. He saw how it took his attack, and he snarled low with a hot breath.
A spatial portal opened up underneath him, and Acnologia was suddenly engulfed in a roar. His own roar. The Dragon King bellowed in pain and agony as his own attack had disastrous results on him. All saw the light blue beam shoot straight up and swallowed Acnologia in what soon erupted into a light blue flash, swallowing up a majority of the sky.
Palkia got in front of everyone still in the air, Rayquaza, Zekrom, and Reshiram included and his pearls glowed. The space around distorted as shockwaves rampaged through the skies, and on the ground the Pokémon all gaped with shock at Acnologia's attack turning against him.
The ball of energy that swallowed the sky faded, revealing Acnologia steaming and scratched badly. He shook his head and angrily glared back at his opponents. His teeth bared as he roared out again in frustration.
His wings flapped and he went soaring in towards the Dark Legendaries. He closed the distance quick as he brought a claw back. "Revenge shall be mine!"
Before his claw could reach Mega Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo reached out. Acnologia suddenly stopped cold, as if he became frozen. The Dragon King was immobile as some force was keeping him from moving, which was in reality Mega Mewtwo's Psychic.
"We have no business with you. Wait your turn after we kill Nic and his forces." He savagely stated. Using a single index finger, Acnologia fell straight down from the sky, crashing hard head first into the ruins of Crocus beneath. Dust scattered as Acnologia made a humungous crater. The entire city felt a massive tremor from that crash.
Arcadios's eyes widened. "I can't believe what I am seeing."
"Acnologia is here, but he…" Hisui trailed off.
"He's at the mercy of those monsters." The King shuddered. "The world's greatest danger, and he's no more than a ragdoll."
Natsu could only stare in deep shock. "No way. His ass is getting kicked…"
Lucy and Future Lucy watched in deep revelation as the Dark Legendaries and Ragnarok Lysandre had Acnologia up and roaring in his deep crater again.
The Dragon King looked pissed as he angrily roared up at the Dark Legendaries. Behind him, a spatial hole was seen, and it seemed wide. Acnologia didn't even get a chance as a large arm reach out and grabbed his neck.
Hoopa smirked as his clever work was paying off. Another hand went into a ring that made a spatial portal, this one going towards the front of the throat. Acnologia was held with claws digging into his scales.
A third portal emerged, this one being the same size, and from it a third fist from Hoopa shot through violently shooting a swift punch to the Dragon's stomach. Acnologia tried to gag or roar in pain, but he was suffocating by the two hands.
Darkrai looked down at Acnologia. "Tch, why not join everyone in their nightmare." From his hand stretched out, a Dark Pulse was fired down. The Dark-Type attack closed in fast, and when it was but a bright purple light to Acnologia, he completely forgot the hands that retreated back to Hoopa's sides through the closed spatial portals.
Acnologia was engulfed in a field of darkness, reaching out so far that it exploded and left an even bigger crater in the ruins of the city.
The explosion settled, and Acnologia seemed to have taken some serious damage. The Dragon King looked up in heavy exasperation. "Your kind sickens me. You think you're better than the Dragons. You think your power surpasses mine? I won't stand for thi-!"
Acnologia was silenced when all that was decent about him was muted. From his side was Giratina, and he violently assaulted Acnologia's right side, slashing with his red claws on the wings to make a mighty Dragon Claw. The vicious attack ripped right through Acnologia, blood coming out of his right side.
Both Nic saw Acnologia suffer the same fate they did. They looked distressed and nervous as they looked back and unconsciously clutched their right sides, where Lysandre ripped into them before. The sight was gruesome if not mind-blowing.
Acnologia spilled blood, but he found his feet underneath. His right side was a complete mess with blood on the rib cage and waist, but he wasn't giving up. He turned towards Giratina, looking into his Satan eyes, the eyes of the most vile devil who regrets no single misdeed and shall do it all again. Acnologia brought a claw back and slashed at Giratina. Giratina used the hard ridged on the sides of his mouth and head to knock the claw away, and screech out at Acnologia.
Acnologia roared back and took flight, but he found it harder with his damage. He ascended higher and higher, and Giratina did so as well.
Both met in the air, and Acnologia viciously charged, as did Giratina. As Acnologia was gonna rip into him, Giratina suddenly vanished, much to everyone's shock.
"Wait, he's gone?" Elfman exclaimed.
"His presence, I still know it's around." Freed said.
Future Nic looked around as well, having a vile feeling. "I know this move."
"Yeah, me too." Nic said.
Acnologia looked around, seeing no sign of Giratina. A sudden crack appeared in the space on his right. He turned and looked to find the cracks increasing. As it space was cracking apart again, but the difference was that ghastly darkness was seeping through. Finally the pieces all shattered, and a void like darkness had a black figure with red eyes lunging out. The figure that was Giratina had pitch black shadows, and Acnologia actually felt…fear.
He faltered back, but he was doomed as his abdomen was struck by Giratina when he exited Shadow Force. The massive impact made Acnologia scream and roar in vile agony. What was a dark purple explosion encompassed him, and a violent and screeching explosion sent shockwaves of pure antimatter in all directions. Nic and Future Nic's Pokémon all covered up, but even they were caught in the shockwaves and flew off in random directions. The Legendaries themselves covered up and faltered backwards from this gruesome force.
When the dark explosion faded away, Giratina was in the air, screeching down as Acnologia fell straight down, his stomach all bloodied and marked badly by Giratina's move. He fell into the crater again, making what was an enormous thud.
The Dark Legendaries bellowed as they showed their power, making everyone feel hope falter to the negatives.
"Acnologia lost?! That fast?!" Max yelled.
"They are so screwed!" Macao shouted.
"This can't be happening! No way!" Romeo protested in anguish.
"That Acnologia, that very same Dragon we saw in that illusion, he was dispatched just like that." Sting muttered, his body quaking.
Rogue looked horrified. "So this is the raw power of Pokémon."
Atlas Flame looked shocked. "…uh…impossible. The Dragon King, the Apocalypse…was defeated by a greater apocalypse?!"
Future Lucy began to tear up. "This was the real fate of the future, and Nic didn't tell me! Why?!"
Lucy looked at her despairing counterpart and had heavy remorse as she saw her on her knees and sobbing in despair, coherently muttering of despair and no hope. Lucy looked down at Acnologia's unconscious form, pondering. 'Perhaps because Nic knew it was for the best. I wouldn't have handled the situation any better myself.'
Vanessa stared in shock. "The Weather Trio took a long time to beat him."
"He went down in mere minutes." Orga said.
"The reports of Acnologia are nothing now." Lahar grimaced. "These creatures, it's clear they are but a force far worse than Acnologia-no! Worse than Zeref. May the Council hurry."
Ragnarok used his Hoopa hand and reached down at Acnologia. "Stand aside, lightweight."
In a flash, Acnologia was engulfed in a pitch black energy, and suddenly in the sky, right next to Atlas Flame, the wounded and weakened Acnologia laid in a large pink orb. All were shocked by him getting suspended like they were, and they were even more baffled that he was defeated so easily.
Dialga looked piqued. "They're stronger than before!"
Palkia hollered out a screech again. "They won't take Arceus or Nic Pularis's life!"
Ragnarok Lysandre stretched his Hoopa and Giratina claws out, where the rings came off and spatial portals were made in front. "You won't get in my way again!" Pitch black orbs were in the two hands and surged with anguish and an overwhelming energy that made the temperature drop. "Maxus Legendary Arts: Dark Void!"
The black orbs were shot into the spatial portals, which closed immediately after. Right beside Dialga and Palkia the portals opened up again, and the two were suddenly hit from the sides. They were both enveloped in what was a black and somewhat visible sphere each. Both Dialga and Palkia saw pitch black inside as they couldn't see anything inside.
"Dialga!" Nic shouted.
"Palkia!" Future Nic followed up.
The two spheres holding the rulers of time and space fell to the ground. The black spheres hit the ground hard, leaving more tremors to quickly dissipate. The spheres vanished, and in the craters were Dialga and Palkia on their sides. They both looked fine, and yet they weren't. They were twitching, and they seemed distressed, but they couldn't wake up.
"No!" Both Nics yelled. They angrily looked back at Ragnarok Lysandre as he smirked and chuckled, sending fear down their spines.
"I put them in their nightmares, where they belong." He explained. "You will join them, and all shall perish, giving birth to a new universe of zero!"
Nic swallowed hard, and if he was honest, he never felt more scared in his entire life. His wings barely held him up from the anxiety he felt. With Dialga and Palkia in pain in their sleep and out of commission, there was little hope, but…
"You can say this is a nightmare, but I'll wake you up." Nic sated.
"Hm?" Ragnarok raised a brow.
The Dark Legendaries behind him growled.
Future Nic took over, his tail wagging as he swerved in place. "We'll end this, and we'll end this dream!" He declared loudly. "We didn't come back from the future to have it ripped away like this again! We'll spot all five of you, and this nightmare will be erased forever!"
Nic held up a clenched fist, his eyes filled with determination. "Even if it kills us!"
Future Nic roared loudly, agreeing with Nic. He closed his mouth as the echo stretched all around. 'For everyone from my time; Erza, Vanessa, everyone that helped us, you'll all see the light again.' He pictured Erza, and then he pictured his sister. Having them taken away was hard, but this was his final course, and if he's going out, he's going out big.
Future Nic and Nic both yelled at the same time. "This last battle will count, and the light will purge you, Ragnarok Lysandre!"
Ragnarok Lysandre's blood red aura palpitated, making the air around him distort. "You? Defeat us? THEN PROVE IT!"
The Dark Legendaries and the Legendaries all around roared in unison, declaring their sides and readying for the battle that shall change the future forever. For Future Nic and his Pokémon, this shall indeed be the last fight to the bitter end.
Sorry for the wait, but the length was far greater than what I had anticipated. Did this chapter exceed your expectations? Pease let me know in a comment or review.
There is a very strong chance that the next chapter will be another long one, given all that's been happening in this chapter, so the next one shall be the final fight to end it all.
Given that note, the next chapter will be backed up a few days compared to normal. My family is starting preparations for moving, so I gotta help out. I gotta have a lot of work around the house done, so the next big chapter shall take some time until the heat dies down. Moving is a lot of work.
I know Acnologia's fight was short, but if I was honest, he didn't have much of a role except demonstrate how he ranked up compared to the Dark Legendaries.
