The feeling of freedom began to overwhelm Akagi, sure he could do as he pleased whilst roaming the Distortion World but it was a bare world of nothingness. No social interaction, no time, no seasons, no nature, no nothing, just a mirrored distortion of Sinnoh that seemed to fit the likings and preferences of the magnificent beast Giratina. Akagi seemed to enjoy the feeling of the midday sun tingle and warm his frosty pale skin; perhaps it would suck the deadness out of him and breathe life through his body again. He paid close attention to his surroundings, making sure to take in every moment.
Hmmph. These humans are disgusting, taking their land for granted. Weak sentimental fools.
Akagi sighed. He thought he would never understand the thoughts and emotions of people and continued to walk. Hikari had noticed him looking around and realized they hadn't spoken for quite a while. It had taken them about an hour or more on their path to Sunyshore City, Akagi's hometown and there was still a fair while to go until they reached their destination. It was here Akagi had spent most of his childhood growing up as a lone but intelligent young boy. He didn't have many friends and preferred to be in the company of machines, tinkering away with them for hours on end. He never wanted to put his education and intelligence towards the benefit of humans; he despised them and saw them for nothing but wasteful beings of strife that suffered because of weak and incomplete human spirit. He wanted to end it as it became worrisome to him and that's what he did. Akagi created an empire and almost succeeded…if it wasn't for Hikari.
Akagi turned to her but did not speak a word. He remembered how strong she was and he also remembered that it was her willpower, determination and compassion that made her strong and gave her the ability to defeat him and send him to his prison to suffer. Was he wrong about emotion?
Suddenly Akagi felt a strong sickly feeling inside his stomach and his mind went to work. Thoughts and memories came pouring out like a broken tap.
According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world… A world where only time flowed and space expanded...There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared...This world is being ruined by it...I find the state of things to be deplorable..."
This was the beginning of Akagi's reign. The terrible feelings in his stomach were growing but he started to remember something else, the moment he first met Hikari in her short pink skirt, tall white boots, black top, red scarf, white hat, her dark hair pulled back with yellow clips.
I see. You must be the one I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galaxy. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the challenger is a mere child. I heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you...I know why you are here; I can sense it in you. It's about Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, correct? You want to save them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I couldn't care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them.
But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those beings have nothing to do with you, do they not? But you still came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!
Akagi started to ache and feel awful. These memories just hit him like a Dimensional Scream and he hated himself for what he had become, a monster. His intellect was put to waste on a silly childhood dream or should he say, nightmare. His last words before Hikari defeated him were ones he would never forgot…
Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this Red Chain, I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... Palkia, Dialga the mythical beings and the masters of space and time! This will bring about the destruction of all things. With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel space and time distorting? Only I can choose to stop it. These are the mythical beings that created Sinnoh! Palkia, Dialga the ancient deities of space and time! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create a new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!
Oh! Palkia, Dialga... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?
Failure. Akagi was rendered powerless, defeated by Hikari and eventually snatched up by Giratina. Hikari saved the world, and his life, without him realizing it. He turned to her again and finally spoke his mind.
"Hikari, I became a monster and tried to destroy everything because of my own selfish needs. You stopped me and in the end saved my life. I may have ended up in a dark confinement but it was a fair punishment. I was given a second chance and you saved me once again. All I wanted to say was thank you, Hikari. Your courage has made you strong and I admire you for it."
Akagi was out of breath. Such kind words were enough to weaken him, as he was not used to expressing his inner feelings.
"Akagi, you don't need to thank me. You saved yourself by changing your ways and willing to ditch your past." Hikari smiled and rubbed Akagi's back in an upwards/downwards motion.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but I am actually excited to revisit my hometown." He took notice of the gentle touching on his back. He liked the sensation it gave him and continued to walk on comfortably.
Both of them looked ahead and noticed a town with roads that ran along the top of the ground level, connecting sections of the city. It was Sunyshore and they were almost there.
"Look Akagi! We're finally here! Sunyshore is just over this clearing. When we arrive in town I think you should change your outfit. The Team Galaxy thing was sooo 5 years ago. I should get you into something a little more sophisticated and sexy." Hikari chuckled charmfully. Akagi widened his eyes slightly at what she had just said.
Akagi, the man who rid all human emotions felt slightly sick in his stomach as he felt his cheeks warm up with a tingling bite. He was feeling something very odd and new over what Hikari had said and it wasn't long until he realized he was blushing. Sexy? Why would he want to dress sexy? He didn't need to impress anyone but Hikari insisted.
