Cut to scene: Zekrom and Hilda's Hotel Room. The lights come up on Zekrom, Hilda and Kyurem.

(Hilda grips Zekrom's hand, Zekrom gripping Hilda's hand back, as they stare at Kyurem.)

Zekrom: Hilda, this is bad. I… I can't believe he found us! How? This wasn't supposed to happen! Sis; could there be something more to him?

(Kyurem stands up and slowly walks toward the girls.)

Hilda: I don't know. I think all he wants to do right now is touch us.

Zekrom: Great. Just great. I'm not gonna like this one bit.

(Kyurem proceeds to touch the girls on their shoulders and faces before he lets his hands off them and walks around them.)

Kyurem: Your auras… There is something about your auras that just intrigues me so. They feel very familiar… almost as familiar as him.

Zekrom: Just who is he talking about?

Kyurem: Zekrom, it is because your sister is a reincarnation of either his son or his daughter, I do not know… all that I know is that this particular energy is what gives you both the strength and courage to oppose even gods. Did you know that, my little warrior princesses?

Hilda: Kyurem, what do you want anyway?

(Kyurem stops and stands in front of the girls. He puts one hand on Zekrom's cheek and the other on Hilda's as Zekrom pulls Hilda into a protective embrace.)

Kyurem: I assure you my dearies that I am not here to hurt you both. The last thing I want is for you two to perish… especially by my own hand. You have nothing to fear from me, my little warrior princesses.

(Zekrom lets go of Hilda before shoving Kyurem away. She then holds Hilda's hand.)

Hilda (Gripping Zekrom's hand): Cut it please, Kyurem… I'm sure trying to psych me out wasn't the only reason you came here. What do you want from me? Oh, and by the way, thank you Zekrom, for driving him away from me.

Kyurem: It's simple my little warrior princess… I want you. I want you and your beautiful sister to join me… to stand side-by-side with me. I want you to become my little heroes.

Hilda: Wha…

Exit Hilda, Zekrom and Kyurem. Cut to scene: Hotel Pub. Enter Meloetta and Landorus.

Meloetta: Landorus! It's been a long time.

Landorus: Hey, what's up Meloetta? I was wondering when you'd show up… I thought you'd forgotten about me!

Meloetta: How could I forget a jolly old gentleman such as you? You may look intimating with your size and Vikingesque traits, but looks can be deceiving.

Landorus: Ain't that the truth? So, what's that little ball of fire up to? It was her who arranged for me to come here, wasn't it?

Meloetta: You mean Victini? She has a lot on her mind, so she asked me to meet you in her place.

Landorus: I thought that would be case; Kyurem's causing quite a storm for Victini as well as for the rest of us. Poor kid, always having to clean up her mess…

Meloetta: So you know then.

Landorus: Yeah, I know all alright… hard not to know when you have his cronies try to recruit you. I knew Cobalion and his siblings had issues against the human race… but I didn't think they would let their hate stoop them as low as to do that psycho's will. These are dark times for our kind.

Meloetta: Indeed they are. So will you join our fight to stop Kyurem?

Landorus: Of course! I'll even be more than happy to lead the charge! I'm certain my brothers will feel the same way.

Meloetta: Do you know where they are?

Landorus: You know what my brothers are like; those two are always on the move. I never really felt the need to keep track on what they were doing…

Meloetta: So in other words, you have no clue…

Landorus: Don't worry. They'll turn up sooner or later. Once they sense my out-of-character antics of travelling round the land they'll want to know what's up. Until then, we should think up our next strategy. Kyurem must be becoming impatient by now… It won't be long until he decides to show himself and cause some real chaos. And when that happens, we'll need a good plan of attack to kick him right where it hurts. BOOM!

(Reshiram enters with a pool stick.)

Reshiram: And here I thought I found a nice spot to be alone… So Landorus… When did you and your jelly belly roll into town?

Landorus: Heh! Still as snippy as ever I see… I was invited here, if you must know.

Meloetta: Victini felt that we had been idling here for too long, and so she went ahead and made arrangements for Landorus to come here. Now we only have his brothers to find.

Landorus: The mouse is on the ball, as always…

Reshiram: Well I guess I cannot blame the kid for feeling so worried; being stuck inside this neon spew hole unable to do nothing is even starting to make me feel on edge. I cannot wait to get out of this city but at the same time I embrace our blissful ignorance here, for least I know that inside this city we're all safe… especially Hilbert and Hilda.

Meloetta: You care a lot for them.

Reshiram: What can I say? Hilbert is just a ball of hot fire with the physical strength to match. But even so he is a calm bundle of flame, bursting furiously only when necessary – such is the essence of a true hero. I have never known a human like him before… not since Sir Huge. And I'm sure Zekrom feels the same way about Hilda. Even then, my memories of Huge are from Kyurem when he was still complete. I never knew the man personally so I cannot exactly say for certain… but it feels just as well.

Landorus: And I'm sure you care for N just as much as you do Hilbert.

Reshiram: Hilda and Zekrom… I proudly call those girls my sisters, which they really are. If Kyurem lays such as a finger on them, I swear I'll make him regret it! Come to think of it… I'm getting a gut feeling that Zekrom and Hilda are in danger…

(The lights go out as Reshiram, Meloetta and Landorus exit and the scene changes back to Zekrom and Hilda's hotel room. The center stage lights come up on Zekrom, Hilda and Kyurem. The stage left and right lights remain off. On the darkened stage right, Diancie, Victini and Hoopa get ready.)

Hilda: You want us… to join you?

Kyurem (Holding his hand out to Hilda and Zekrom): Absolutely.

Hilda: I'm sorry, but we will never join you. What about you, sis?

Zekrom: I'm with you, Hilda.

Kyurem: I suggest you reconsider, my little warrior princesses. To go against me is to sign your own death warrant. Once I regain my former glory there will be no one to stop me turning this world into a block of lifeless ice! Everything will die… including you both.

Zekrom: Is that right, huh? Well, Giratina will stop you, and he is with us!

Kyurem: Hahahahaha! Father? You think that my father will stop me? Please, he hates this world more than I do! When he and I finally lock heads with both our ultimate powers combined he will not care for the damage we'll wreak. He will be unable to stop himself - he is the violence of this universe personified after all. If I don't destroy the world with my Ice Age, then my father's ferocious wrath will. He's done it before... they don't call him the Renegade for nothing! Don't you see… no matter what happens this world shall be destroyed either by my hand, father's… or the both of us together! Imagine it: father and son battling one another with the world crumbling underneath our fury! Oh what a family outing it will be!

Zekrom: I've had enough!

(Zekrom and Hilda run at Kyurem, ready to deal him a devastating blow, but he catches them both and binds them tight so they can't escape.)

Kyurem: My dear warrior princesses… Why do you continue to resist? I am giving you a golden opportunity. If you choose to stand by my side your lives shall be spared from all the suffering and carnage soon to come. My wrath will not reach you both… you shall be immune to the icy winds that shall bring forth a new age. Your eyes will see the rebirth of this world and the fall to the rotting cultural tower of man. You both shall be the first to walk upon a new purified world. A world of white. We shall walk upon it together… just you two and me.

Zekrom: Ugh…

Kyurem: What stubborn little heroes you are... it makes me wonder why I even bother with you two, especially Hilda. But still, those auras of yours are too enticing to let go to waste. I just feel that I would be giving up something important if I just let that energy disappear for it just feels so… nostalgic. But that's not the only reason why I'm trying so hard like this for you. The truth is that… I simply like you both.

Hilda: You like us?

Kyurem: There's just something about you that captivates me.

Zekrom: What is it about me and my sister that captivates you so?

Kyurem: It is your strength, your spirits, your undying loyalty to your friends, family and to Unova itself. These are the most important qualities a hero can possess. But while you two are following that little mouse's orders, you're letting your strengths and talents go to waste. Only I can harness the true extent of your qualities. Only I can truly guide you towards your true destiny, particularly you, Hilda. That is to stand beside me, fighting alongside each other. You know this to be true… my little warrior princesses.

Hilda: Sorry Kyurem, but our answer is still no.

(The stage center lights go out. The stage right lights come on focusing on Victini, Diancie and Hoopa, who are getting ready for bed.)

Hilda (O.S.): We will never help you destroy this world. What kind of heroes would we be if we did that? I'm going to fight you with all I have to prevent that from happening. We will stop you. We will not back down, we will not give up till it's over, and we will fight to the end! Now if you don't mind... kindly get OUT OF OUR ROOM!

(Sound effect: Crash.)

Victini: What was that?

Diancie: I think something's wrong.

Hoopa: Let's go investigate.

(They open the door set piece and run onto center stage as the center stage lights come back on. Hilda is holding a lamp and Zekrom is glaring dirtily at Kyurem, who gets up from lying face down on the floor.)

Diancie: Is that Kyurem?

Hoopa (Concerned): It looks like him. How did he find Hilda and Zekrom?

Kyurem: Oh… Hello there, my little Vicky. Long time no see. We didn't mean to disturb you and your… Little friends who I've been dying to meet. Why don't you just hurry off back to bed like good little ladies while we grown-ups finish up here?

Victini: KYUREM, YOU FOOL!

(Victini runs at Kyurem but he shoves her hard and she falls on her bottom.)

Victini: Oww, my arm…

(A Shadow Ball hits Kyurem on the head, sending him onto the floor once more. Enter Dawn and Giratina.)

Dawn: Whoa… So this is the monster we're facing?

Kyurem: Father! It has been many millennia's since I've last seen your face. You look well.

Giratina (Disgusted): How many times must I tell you to never call me that?!

Kyurem: But you gave me life. If that does not make you my father then what does?

Giratina: Just because I gave you the means to thrive within this world does not make me your father by any means. Your birth was a fluke – an action performed on a whim that has proved to result in major consequence.

Kyurem: Oh father, I'm hurt by your words.

Giratina: I suggest you leave now.

Kyurem: But it has been so long since I have last seen you father… why not we stay a while and catch up with one another? I for one would like to further acquaint myself with that lovely maiden you have standing there so fondly beside you.

Dawn: What do you want with me?

Giratina: My patience is beginning to wear thin! You should know better than anyone Kyurem that to test me is a grave and costly mistake! Leave now, or suffer the consequences for your disobedience!

Kyurem: It is clear you still need time to realize your doomed position and that only I can save you both. I will leave you for now… The next we meet like this will be your final chance to accept my offer. If you should once more decline then I will kill you both without hesitation. I shall tear the flesh from your bones and rip you both limb-from-limb! Until then, farewell… My little warrior princesses.

(There is a brief blackout as Kyurem exits. The lights come back on.)

Hilda: Kyurem…

Zekrom: Should we have accepted?

Hilda: No. It's for the best.

(Exit Hilda and Zekrom. Enter Reshiram, Landorus and Meloetta. Diancie and Hoopa bandage Victini's arm with gauze tape while Reshiram paces, furious with himself.)

Reshiram: I cannot believe I was not there to protect them! I should have been there! Why did I have to go and leave them alone?!

Victini: There's no point in beating yourself up about it, Reshiram.

Hoopa: What's done is done. Let this be a lesson to us to be more cautious. Kyurem can show up anytime and anywhere. Just thank Arceus that all he did tonight was just leave me with this nasty gash. He could have done more if he so wished.

Giratina: I wouldn't be so sure. For one his power is weak. Kyurem is smart enough to know that to attack whilst incomplete would leave him highly vulnerable for immediate defeat. He may as well be an ordinary Being in his current state and I know that frightens him; he is not used to having power equal to everyone else and this makes him feel inferior.

Diancie: He will not make any bold moves until he has regained his complete form, this much I am certain of. He kept his presence quiet tonight for these very reasons, as well as to avoid any hindrance while speaking with Hilda and her sister. It's obvious he has an obsession with them; referring to them as his 'little warrior princesses' is evident of that.

Meloetta: Well, I'm just glad that everyone's okay.

Landorus: So, what's out next move kid?

Victini: There's not much we can do until we're done with this play. So let's just focus on that until we can finally move on. No matter what happens Kyurem will be defeated. Trust me when I say, that everything will be okay.

End of Scene 17.
