(Cut to scene: Ship Balcony. Enter Giratina and Dialga.)
Dialga: Giratina! Dawn just told everyone what's happening out here. I have come to give you a hand. (She stares at the clouds for a few seconds.) Well, this is concerning indeed.
Giratina: I would have preferred it if you had stayed inside with Dawn and the others. Your power would have best been used in keeping them safe. I can handle this situation on my own.
Dialga: And let you have all the fun? Besides, if this is Kyurem's doing, then I need to know what this creature is capable of. I need to witness its power for myself to get a better idea of what we will soon face.
Giratina: (Scoffs) Fine. Suit yourself. But you follow my orders. I know Kyurem more than you; even though I don't like to admit this, he's my son, so I know what needs to be done to stop this. On my order, attack with that Roar of Time of yours.
Dialga: (As if answering a military general) Sir!
Exit Dialga and Giratina. Cut to scene: Ship Ballroom. Enter Palkia, Lucas, Commander Mars, Zapdos, Barry and the Ship Captain (Secretly Heatran).
Palkia: This feeling… What is this dark feeling of dread I have…?
Lucas: Don't worry Palkia; you're not the only one that's feeling it.
Zapdos: Black lightning bolts? I haven't seen anything like it before! It's… it's…
Mars: -Unnatural. And Giratina says that this is Kyurem's doing?
Captain (Heatran): Kyurem… ? You mean the 'human and Pokémon devourer?
Mars: 'Human and Pokémon devourer'…? What do mean by that, captain?
Captain (Heatran): When you have toured around the world for as long as I have, you tend to hear stories about the places you visit. In Unova myth, an immortal monster called Kyurem would eat humans and Pokémon if they were found roaming the northern lands at night. 'Kyurem' is also known as the bringer of long winters, which were always predicted to bring about great disaster… but this only just old folklore: a legend with no significant proof.
Barry: Still, it's a creepy folktale! Sounds like this 'Kyurem' is the very definition of danger!
Exit Palkia, Lucas, Commander Mars, Zapdos, Barry and Captain. Cut to scene: Ship Balcony. Enter Giratina and Dialga.
Giratina: Now, Ailee!
Dialga raises her hands to the sky, claps them twice, takes in a deep breath and lets out a mighty scream. Cannons underneath the stage release mist. The storm has stopped.
Dialga: What will you do, Giratina?
Giratina raises his hand. There is a blackout. When the lights come back on, the storm has completely faded.
Dialga: That was a rather risky move, Giratina. If you have left that distortion open any longer, we may have been pulled in as well. You do realize that right?
Giratina: I knew what I was doing. Besides, it would have given Kyurem the impression to no never screw with me again. His power is nothing compared to mine, which can disturb the time-space continuum itself. He'll do well to remember that next time.
Dialga: So, this was all nothing but a show of force?
Giratina: Precisely. And what I just demonstrated there was nothing compared to what I can really do; you remember what happened eight years ago, don't you?
Dialga: More than I wish to remember.
Exit Giratina and Dialga. Cut to scene: Ship Ballroom. Some of the cast enter.
Cyrus: For a creature who Giratina claims to be a calm and benevolent creature… that storm it brought about was anything but. Giratina, are you sure this Kyurem is harmless as you say?
Giratina: The last I saw of him he was. However, many things can change over the course of time. He may be a completely different being now. Either way, I wouldn't know; I haven't seen him for eons.
Professor Rowan: So, what was that storm anyway?
Giratina: All I know is that it is Kyurem's power personified within a cold and chilling chaos. I know, for I can always feel his power enveloping me when he performs this. He performs it as a means to release energy.
Professor Rowan: Interesting… Giratina, how powerful is this 'Kyurem'?
Giratina: Almost as powerful as Arceus, Angeallen and I. He is the physical embodiment of universal order upon this world: black and white, good and evil, order and chaos… life and death. It was not my intention to have made him that strong, to be his father, or to create a living image of conflicting values. It just happened, and that's all there is to it.
Captain: Ah, so you're the infamous Giratina. You're the monster of the Distortion World who dared to defy Arceus' creed. You're the darkness to the holy one's light – the 'evil twin' that encompasses everything that He is not. I never thought that in my entire life that I would have the chance to meet a legendary Pokémon… but in this human form you have now, you're more like one of those gods worshipped during the age of antiquity. An idol created in man's own image. But in your case, you're more likely to be an idol of the occult; a figure of the dammed. Am I right, Renegade?
Giratina: Such insignificant prattle. Just where do you humans get your ridiculous assumptions about me? I am nothing more but one of Arceus and Angeallen's children. That's all I am and forever will be.
Captain: Ah, but there's no smoke without fire, as they say… but enough about that. You're all talking about this Kyurem creature am I right? I have a story that I would like to tell you that may help in determining this creature's current state.
Enter Dawn.
Dawn: You know something about Kyurem?
Captain: As I said before, if you travelled the world for as long as I have, you end up hearing many things. And as you may have guessed by now, I have quite an interest in stories, history and mythology.
Dawn: Please, I need to know.
Captain: Fine. Long ago when the land of Unova was at war, a lone hero appeared descended from the snowy mountains far to the north. With him, he brought a giant Pokémon who walked alongside him. It was a being of tremendous strength with the ability to wield the power of both light and darkness. With that powerful and glorious creature at his side, the hero was able to bring end to the long war, which had desecrated Unova for so long. He was a True Hero with the power of all things black and white at his side. This creature was a kind and benevolent one. With its wisdom as old as time and strength on par with that of gods, this Pokémon was able to bring about peace in a land so torn with hatred and despair. Not only that, but its loyalty and friendship towards the hero were boundless and unquestionable. It was completely devoted to the hero and promised to follow him and his family until the end of time. They were indeed the best of friends. The hero started a family. His wife gave birth to twins: a son and a daughter. As the young twin heroes aged, they constantly argued which was the better value installed within human beings: was it truth, or ideals? Their father was always there to settle these disputes, thus avoiding any major conflict that would perhaps arise from this age old question. However he wouldn't be around to settle them forever… and the day eventually came when the old hero finally died of old age. With him gone, there was no one around to stop the twins' feud. Without their father, the argument quickly boiled out of control. The creature did his best to fill his old friend's shoes and try to stop them, however in the end it failed and civil war erupted due to the brother and sister's hate. It was a battle to determine which value was better: would truth overcome or will ideals rise victorious? Unova was at war yet again, but this time… the True Hero wasn't there to stop it. In a desperate act to stop the needles violence, the creature overwhelmed itself and split in two. That was the day when the legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom were born: Reshiram of Truth and Zekrom of Ideals. One possessed the creature's power of black and other the power of white. The creature was no longer whole… and eventually forgotten. In the end, Unova was reduced to ashes. And it was far too late for the Twin Heroes to realize their wrong doing. Unova's history is soaked within so much blood and violence, isn't it?
Dawn: So… what happened after that?
Captain: Unova had to rebuild, obviously. After that, the two Pokémon that were born from their once and glorious form sealed themselves within orbs and hid themselves away. They did this so that Unova would never see violence again. Since then, Unova has known nothing but peace.
Dawn: And you think this Kyurem we're talking about was the creature they split from?
Captain: I believe so, from the way you all talk about it… So that thing still exists, eh?
Lucas: Judging from that storm it sent us… Uh, no, ya think?!
Professor Rowan (Appalled by his grandson's behavior): Lucas!
Lucas: Sorry, gramps… it just that I get all snappy when I'm nervous.
Giratina: So Kyurem is no longer whole? If that were the case, then his power should have diminished. So when that storm arrived before, why did feel so powerful?
Dawn: Only the source itself can tell us that one. We'll have to ask him when we meet with him ourselves. That'll perhaps be the only time when our questions will really be answered.
Professor Oak: Hmm… Perhaps I should give a colleague of mine in Unova a call and see if they can arrange someone to guide us? It sounds that we extremely need help from within this region.
Giratina: You know someone there, Professor Oak?
Professor Oak: Indeed. She was a star pupil of mine many years ago. She travelled from Unova as an exchange student. Juniper is her name. She has a son, Hilbert, and a daughter, Hilda. When Zekrom became Hilda's Pokémon, she took her in. I will give her a call as soon I can.
Everyone exits. Cut to scene: Giant Chasm, forest. Enter Ghetsis. He has two papers in his hand. Cobalion enters from stage right.
Ghetsis: So, Cobalion, How much longer before we arrive?
Cobalion: Refrain from speaking to me, you pathetic human! We'll get there when we get there, understand?
They exit and re-enter as the set changes to Kyurem's throne room. Terrakion and Virizion also enter.
Kyurem (O.S): Ah, Ghetsis, at last you arrive. I bid you welcome. I trust Cobalion has taken good extra care of you, up until now…
Kyurem enters and we finally see his face for the first time. He sits down on his ice throne.
Ghetsis: K-K-K-Kyurem!
Kyurem: Now, now, there no need to be afraid my friend; as long as you have the information that I seek.
Ghetsis: Y-y-yes… I certainly do, my lord. (He hands the papers to Virizion, who hands them to Kyurem.) These are the reincarnations of the Twin Heroes you seek.
Kyurem: (Amused by one of the papers) The boy almost looks exactly like you, Ghetsis… is he a relative of yours?
Ghetsis: He is my son, my lord.
Kyurem: Really?! You mean to lead your very own son to his demise… you do realize what I tend to do, right…? Yet you give me this information out of you our own free will! (He laughs evilly.)
Ghetsis: He gave up being my son the moment he lost his throne! He is a complete embarrassment losing to a savage like her!
Kyurem: Disowning and sacrificing your own flesh and blood to satisfy your own individual honor… you humans truly make me sick! (He stares at the other paper before looking back at Ghetsis.) And I assume this girl is this 'savage' you speak of…?
Ghetsis: Indeed it is my lord. Her name is Hilda Juniper.
Kyurem: Hilda, eh…? What a pretty name; it is the name that of a glorious warrior queen. It is perfectly suited for a hero. (He whistles to Cobalion and Terrakion. They race over to Kyurem's side. Kyurem hands Terrakion the paper with N's picture and Cobalion the paper with Hilda's picture.) Look for the people whose faces are on the papers. Do not kill them. I repeat. DO. NOT. KILL. THEM. That is my job, and my job alone. All I want you to do is find them and bring them to me.
Ghetsis: Uh, Kyurem. There's one thing I've wanted to ask you. My lord, just why do want these two so much?
Kyurem: Why, you ask? These two… these two disgusting little specs are the reincarnations of the other two disgusting little specs who originally instigated my downfall all those centuries ago. I was once a glorious and righteous immortal being, blessed with the values of both light and darkness installed within me. I was the embodiment of universal law upon this world – the law of opposites. Black and white, good and evil, chaos and order… life and death. I embodied all these things. But then… then… THOSE TWO LITTLE TWATS STOLE MY GREATNESS AWAY! TORE MY LIFE IN TWO, AND I REMAINED HERE ALONE AND FORGOTTEN! ALONE AND FORGOTTEN! LEFT TO ROT! (He takes a few deep breaths to calm himself down.) But I rose again, and now I will exact my revenge by destroying their reincarnated selves. Their guilt is also theirs. I will kill everything they hold dear until there is nothing left – their family, friends, and even their Pokémon… I WILL DESTROY IT ALL! And as for Reshiram and Zekrom… well… they don't know what's coming to them!
Ghetsis: Uh, Kyurem, I never told you, but, Zekrom is Hilda's sister.
Kyurem: Ooh! That makes it even MORE interesting! (He laughs evilly again. During his long laughter, Terrakion and Virizion can be heard complaining.)
Terrakion: Whoa.
Virizion: He has gone mad.
Kyurem: Oh yes, I almost completely forgot that he is coming. Father is coming to visit. I cannot wait to see him after all this time... all fun that we'll have will be a scream! It will literally CHILL YOU TO THE BONE! KYEAHAHAHAHAHAH, AHHAAHAHAHAHAH!
