Cut to scene: Relic Castle. Enter Cyrus, Johanna, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Zapdos and Moltres.
Cyrus: Can you see anything behind it?
Saturn: It's too dark to really tell, but there is definitely an open space behind this wall. A secret passage, maybe?
Jupiter: The only way to know for sure is to figure out a way to remove this slab of wall.
Zapdos: Leave it to me! I'll use my Thunderbolt to explode this slab to dust!
Mars: I don't think that's a good idea-
Zapdos: Everyone clear out!
(Yellow stage lights flash. Sound effect: Electricity.)
Mars: Geez, boy! Can you give use a little more time to get out of way before doing that again?
Zapdos: Thank Arceus this ruin seems to be solid enough to withstand such a shock.
Cyrus: Our little electrifying friend didn't take into consideration the possibility of a cave-in after causing such an aftershock through the ground.
Zapdos (Embarrassed): Oops… Well, at least I opened a new passage way, right…?
Cyrus: Consult with us first before doing something so brash like that again.
Mars: Boss, it's Zapdos: he's always doing something brash. Let's just head in now.
(Exit Cyrus, Johanna, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Zapdos and Moltres. Cut to scene: Nimbasa City. Enter Dawn, Giratina and Shaymin.)
Dawn: So… what's the plan?
Giratina: Simple: make her fight. She already holds the skills necessary to handle herself. Like all us legendary Beings she possessed those skills the moment she was born. She just needs a push in order to make her use them again. She needs to be placed within a situation where she'll have no choice but to reawaken those instincts.
Dawn: Giratina… just what are you getting at? If I know what I think you're thinking, you're just going to traumatize her more! Your bad habits are getting the better of you again!
Giratina: But it is those bad habits that made you fall in love with me in the first place.
Dawn: Oyé, focus!
Giratina: Since when did you know how to say 'listen to me' in Spanish?
Dawn (Sternly): Giratina…
Giratina: Do not worry, my dear Dawn; I promise I won't do anything to cause her more nightmares. That is the last thing we need.
Dawn: Just tread lightly okay… I'll stay here and watch; perhaps my being here will help ease her discomfort being around you. As long as I'm here to pull at your lead and keep you under control, then she'll have nothing to worry about, right?
Giratina: Yes, my beloved master.
(Dawn stands off farther to the left side while Giratina and Shaymin approach one another.)
Giratina: Are you ready?
Shaymin: Yes.
Giratina: Very well, let us begin by explaining how these sessions will work. As a young emissary of Arceus, you should already know the basics. All we need to do is rehabilitate you to re-discover and reuse them. We will do that by employing the simple art of sparring. I will attack you, and you will retaliate with an attack of your own. Do you understand?
Shaymin (Slightly irritated): I know how sparring works.
Giratina: We will start off slow allowing you to regain your reflexes. Now, prepare yourself.
(Exit Dawn, Shaymin and Giratina. Cut to scene: Nimbasa Theater. Dialga is on the stage and Victini, May, Jimmy Gold and the Director are in the audience.)
Director: All right everyone! Cut! Well done. You still need to work on your acting, but when you become completely comfortable with your parts, that shouldn't really be an issue. Keep working on it. But for now, it's break time!
Victini: Finally! We've been working all morning! But I'm still having fun. Hey Dialga, you were looking rather into it there…
Dialga: W-well, I really have no choice do I? Besides, this will prove to be a useful tool for us; the more we learn about this Huge and the importance he holds in Kyurem's past, the more understanding we'll possibly gain about the inner working of our enemy, yes?
Victini: Hehehe. That's a long stretch, but you do have a point. I have to admit, this play is rather accurate… however there are some things that are completely fictional. They're not huge exaggerations, so I don't mind.
Ash and Anna (O.S.): Hey, guys! Check us out!
(Ash and Anna enter in their East King and Queen costumes.)
Ash: Do we look like a king and queen, or what! If only Serena was here to see us now!
Victini: Yep, you sure do look like the East King and Queen, Mr. and Ms. Ketchum. You got their laid back and easy going personas as well. Since you all should be familiar with this play's story, you should already know that there were four kings who battled for overall dominance of Unova. There were four provinces, before Huge unified them and brought an end to the first war. Ash is playing the East King. He was the most kind and benevolent of all the kings. Anna is playing the East Queen, the wife of the East King. However they were assassinated by the North King and Queen, the tyrannical dictators who almost won full control of the land until Huge stopped him. Giratina is playing the North King isn't he?
Dialga: Humph! That makes sense…
Victini: Dawn is playing the Princess of the South. She had the most run-ins with the North King and the only one able to physically stand up against him. I tell ya, that princess had guts! She had more courage than her father the South King ever did.
Dialga: Again, makes sense. The director sure has got us figured out, hasn't he?
May: Speaking of Dawn and Giratina, where have the two of them gone? I haven't seen them all morning… Or Shaymin for that matter.
Jimmy: I overheard them last night talking about taking Shaymin out training this morning. I walked past her room last night while the door was open, and she and Giratina were inside talking about it.
Dialga: Humph, about time he started taking responsibility; what he did to that poor child eight years ago is inexcusable. Attempting to use her as bargaining ship… that demon.
Victini: Wow, you really hate Giratina, don't you?
Dialga: My reasons for that are more than overly validated.
(Exit Dialga, Victini, Jimmy, Director, Ash, Anna and May. Cut to scene: Nimbasa City. Dawn, Giratina and Shaymin enter. Dawn is standing off to the side while Shaymin and Giratina are sparring with swords. Shaymin doesn't even try to attack.)
Giratina: I grow tired of your avoidance, child! Do I scare you that much that you won't even attack? That's pathetic!
Shaymin: Monster!
Giratina: If it's a monster you want, then it is a monster you'll get! This time, if you don't attack… I may just rip you to shreds!
Dawn: Giratina, stop!
(Giratina keeps attacking Shaymin with his sword as she keeps dodging. He eventually slams her into a tree and corners her.)
Shaymin: Stop… Please stop!
Giratina: Why stop when I'm having so much fun? It has been so long since I have indulged in such vicious gratification, and you're such an easy toy to shred apart. You are weak; don't even have the courage to stand up against me. You're supposed to be a legendary being – a divine entity able to defend yourself. But all I see is a pathetic miserable child, who allows illusions of her dreams to cloud her mind with fear. You are weak! You are pathetic! You… are… nothing!
(On the word 'Nothing', Giratina shoves Shaymin hard and she falls to the floor.)
Shaymin (Steadily getting angry): I am not weak! I am not pathetic! I'm… not… NOTHING!
(There is a blackout with a rainbow glow. When the lights come back on, Shaymin looks slightly different.)
Giratina: There she is. There is the little warrior I remember! But here is the question: can your present-self hold up to the glory that is your Sky Form?
Shaymin: We'll know the answer to that after I kick your butt!
Giratina: Then come! Show me your new resolve and prove to me of the goddess you are! Destroy this monster that haunts your soul!
Exit Giratina, Dawn and Shaymin. Cut to scene: Relic Castle. Enter Cyrus, Johanna, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Zapdos and Moltres.
Cyrus: I know that we agreed that we wouldn't stop until we found the relic… but I didn't expect we would be venturing so deep, or take this long.
Johanna: It was foolish to believe that we would find this relic in just under a day. But I have to admit, being forced to camp under what could be under miles of sand is a rather irksome thought. I can understand the wanting to just get in and get out…
Saturn: Hey, at least it's cool down here. I gotta go take a leak…
Mars: Thanks for the information, Moron! Go over there, where no one can see you!
Exit Saturn and Moltres
Jupiter: There has been something that I've been thinking about for a while. If the Being of Victory already knew about one of the splicers located within this ruin… Wouldn't that make you wonder if she was the one to have hidden it herself?
Johanna: That's a good question. I wouldn't be surprised if that were more than likely the case. Seeing Kyurem become mad and vengeful before her eyes may have prompted the girl to take action, just as she has done now with these groups. Knowing that Kyurem desired for the revival of his complete form, as well as long for the destruction of the world, Victini took the splicers and hid them across Unova. It's a plausible scenario, wouldn't you say; Victini seems to be a girl of action after all…
Zapdos: She reminds me a lot of Dialga. I bet the other beings here look up to Victini for leadership. She's the boss after Kyurem's mental breakdown. I never really got the impression of Reshiram or Zekrom running the show here… it's all that kid. I also get the feeling she knows more than what she's letting on. I just know it. Hey, speaking of the kid knowing it all, did she ever tell us where the other splicer is?
Cyrus: No she didn't. All she did was give me this map and said to head for this ruin. She didn't say anything about finding the second splicer relic. There may be good reason for that…
Jupiter: Like what?
Cyrus: The possibility that Kyurem already has it.
Mars: If that's the case, then we better make sure that we take extra care when we find this splicer relic. Who knows…? He may have grunts out there looking for it now. We'd better make sure we get to it first!
