Cut to scene: City Street. Enter Cobalion and Bianca. Cobalion still has the sword up to Bianca's neck.

Cobalion: I am growing tired of your silence, human. I understand the need to protect one's allies; however your honorable silence will be your very last mistake. I suggest you talk. Now!

Bianca: I don't know where Hilda or N are… But I do know what they are doing; it is one fourth of our united effort to defeat Kyurem.

Cobalion (Interested): Is that so? Well then, if you cannot tell me where they are, then you can tell me what they are doing… as well as what you are planning for that matter. If your information is valuable I will spare you. Now talk.

Bianca: Hilda and N are travelling throughout Unova recruiting the other legendary beings to strengthen our side against Kyurem, Team Plasma and you. But be warned: there are others journeying along with them. Aside from their legendary partners Reshiram and Zekrom protecting them, there is also Victini, and other beings from the other regions. As for me, I am part of a team assigned to research information on you, your siblings and Kyurem. We are doing this to amass knowledge in which we will use to exploit your weaknesses.

Cobalion: I have no weaknesses, human!

Bianca (Growing confident): Is that so? Everything this world has a weakness, even you… and even Kyurem himself.

Cobalion (Lowering the sword): That may be true for most living things within this world. But for those with iron wills such as myself, weakness and fears not a concern for we have none.

Bianca: No fears or weaknesses… you may as well be dead.

Cobalion: Your growing confidence towards me is foolish, human! I can kill you right here if I wanted to…

Bianca: You won't; I've already given you enough information for your advantage. To kill me now would just be a cheap act of barbarism. But you're better than that, aren't you, Cobalion? And as for your view on iron will, I believe that you got it all wrong. Quite Ironic since you're its physical embodiment… I guess your centuries living in hate had warped your views of the world.

Cobalion: Then what is your view of iron will, pathetic human?

Bianca: To have the courage and strive to achieve something, no matter how large the obstacles put before you or the voices of doubt from others around you. It is to also have the confidence and strength to overcome even your own self-doubt, which can be your greatest obstacle of all. You stand back up, no matter how many times you are beaten down. And you keep on getting up until you finally achieve what you want. That's what iron will is: it is the strength to go on, until you achieve what you wish for… and to do it with confidence and courage.

(She turns to walk away, when Cobalion speaks her name.)

Cobalion: Bianca.

(She turns back. They stare at each other for a while before Cobalion runs off. After a few seconds, Bianca exits.)


(Cut to scene: Musical Theater. The Director, Dawn, Giratina and Victini are in the audience while Dialga is on the stage reciting her lines for the part of Sir Huge.)

Dialga (In her Sir Huge voice): Lord Kyurem… just what are you suggesting…?

Director: Ms. Dialga, you still sound too forced. Relax and try again.

Dialga: How can I relax, when out there the world is hanging by a thread? By distracting ourselves with this play, we allow Kyurem to get that one step closer in destroying the world!

Victini: Just chill, will ya? Have you forgotten that there are three other teams out there working towards the same goal? We can take the time occupying ourselves here for a while… besides we can't leave without Keldeo and this is his condition. So we have no choice.

Dialga: But still, does it seem rather lazy for us to be indulging ourselves here, rather than putting our efforts in where it should be? The others are working hard as we speak.

Victini: It seems you're not getting the bigger picture. The most important people out there right now, are the ones looking for those DNA splicer relics.

Dawn: That would be my mum, my dad, and his Team Galactic associates.

Victini: So if we find a splicer, Kyurem can never become whole. That's our major concern. We only have to find just one, and Kyurem's dreams of becoming whole once more go right out the window. Until then, Giratina remains the strongest player within this game, and the strongest on our side. As long as that remains possible, everything will be in our favor, and the world will be alright.

Giratina: It is nice to realize that I am highly valued for my power. I indeed feel special, right about now…

Dialga: But Victini-

Victini: I don't wanna hear it, Being of Time! You of all people should know time is what we do have. You worry too much! Now make Huge proud and read your lines! Read them like you mean it! Geez Giratina, you weren't kidding about Dialga being a stick-in-a-mud.

Dawn: She's only a stick-in-the-mud when it counts. She just cares a lot… that's all.


Exit Dialga, Dawn, Director, Giratina and Victini. Cut to scene: Relic Castle. Enter Cyrus, Johanna, Moltres, Zapdos, and Commanders Mars and Jupiter.

Moltres: Do we exactly know where we are headed inside here?

Cyrus: The girl advised that we stay clear of the main routes, since this splicer obviously won't be found along the accessible pathways. She told us to look for a hidden passageway that leads deeper into the castle, unmarked and undiscovered by the archeologist and ruin officials. Apparently, there's more to this castle than what they assume.

Zapdos: Humph! Sounds to me like this little rat already knows where the relic is. Why doesn't she just come here and get it herself?

Jupiter: Perhaps she is more concerned with the well-being of Hilda, Zekrom, Reshiram and N, and feels she is better off useful protecting them. Also, Victini is a more interesting target than we are. If she were to come here followed, then the risk of Kyurem regaining his form dramatically increases. With those things in mind, it is best that she stays clear of this place.

Zapdos: I guess you have a point.

Mars: We should get started. What's the plan, boss?

Cyrus: First, we need to get off the illuminated path. Then, Victini said to look for any oddities along the walls: switches, gaps… anything that suggests a new path.

Mars: All right, then. Let's go!


Exit Cyrus, Johanna, Moltres, Zapdos, Mars and Jupiter. Cut to scene: Victini's Hotel Room. Enter Victini and Hilda.

Victini: Hey, Hilda! What's up?

Hilda: You were looking at that script pretty intently there.

Victini: Was I? This play must be affecting me more than I thought it would. I guess that's to be expected, when you're playing the role of yourself.

Hilda: That's right; the director casted you as yourself – Victini as Victini. Is the play bringing back old memories?

Victini: Yeah. I tell ya, those years with Sir Huge where the best years of my life. He was the true meaning for what it is for humans and Pokémon to be friends and to live side-by-side with one another. He was a great man and a great hero: a king of kings. Too bad his twin son and daughter never inherited his greatness… or if they did, it was only minuscule. It wasn't that they were bad or anything… they were heroes in their own right. It's just that they let their sibling rivalry keep them from looking at the bigger picture. In the end, they and everyone else paid for that… especially Kyurem.

Hilda: Are you saying that Kyurem was a victim like everyone else?

Victini: He was the biggest victim! He had to split his power in two to end the violence and carnage the second war inflicted upon the land. It was horrible. Because of that, the balance of his mental psyche shattered. His sacrifice was the beginning of his downfall. But that does not excuse him for his present actions.

(She begins singing.)

Victini: I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears. And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave, 'Cause your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone. These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. And I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me.

Hilda: Poor Victini…

Victini: You used to captivate me by your resonating light. Now I'm bound by the life you left behind. Your face, it haunts my once pleasant dreams. Your voice, it chased away all the sanity in me. These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.

Hilda: When he'd scream you'd fight away all of his fears. And you held his hand through all of these years, but he still has all of you.

Victini: I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along. When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears. And I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me.

Hilda: I think you were trying to sing to Kyurem as if he were here.

Victini: Yeah. He still haunts my dreams to this day.

Hilda: Victini, just because he sacrificed his power, that doesn't mean he is entitled with the right to judge whether we should live or die. He was a hero just like Sir Huge. He should have been strong enough to not only make that decision, but to also live with the consequences of that choice afterward.

Victini: That sounds like something Huge would say! Maybe the director should have given you that part of Huge instead of Dialga.

Hilda: think so…? I don't think it would go down well with the audience to see a girl playing one of the greatest men of Unova. It would be strange don't you think?

Victini: Dialga's a girl. And she's playing Sir Huge. In fact, I believe that you're more than qualified to play the part. Out curiosity, who are you playing?

Hilda: Kyurem… or as the script calls him: 'Benevolent Pokémon.'

Victini (Laughing): That's so funny!

Hilda: What! What's so funny about that?

Victini: Sorry. It's just so ironic, that's all.


Exit Victini and Hilda. Cut to scene: Shaymin's Hotel Room. Enter Giratina and Shaymin.

Giratina: Shaymin… We need to talk.

(Shaymin doesn't answer.)

Giratina: Tell me: are you afraid of me?

(Shaymin still ignores Giratina.)

Giratina: Of course you're afraid. How foolish of me to ask something so obvious. Let me guess: it was something I did to you eight years ago… right?

Shaymin: I don't wanna talk.

Giratina: Silence will not shun me away any sooner than you believe it will. Answer me now, child… or I will make you.

Shaymin: No! Just go away! I don't want to be anywhere near you! Just leave me alone, monster!

(Shaymin runs to the other side of the stage. Slowly, Giratina approaches her and takes her hands in his.)

Giratina: What happened eight years ago cannot be undone. My intent was to use you as a bargaining tool, and for that I horribly scarred you. I cannot change those memories… but I can heal those scars. That is, if you allow me. I understand that you have lost your will to fight. You are a goddess with broken wings. Allow me to re-mend those wings for you by retraining you.

Shaymin (Surprised): You… want to train me?

Giratina: Yes. Through my tutelage, you will become stronger than you ever were before. That, I promise you. But you must also be willing to this; meaning you'll have to stomach my presence as we will be seeing much of each other. You must resist falling apart on me. Can you do that?

Shaymin: As Mesprit and the others told me, I have to live, fly and face my fears. If this is the only way to get over this fear I have of you, then I will give it my best.

Giratina: Good.
