Chapter 7: The War From Hell
"I wIll FiNd YoU, Yveltal." said a deep dark voice.
"Who are you?!" exclaimed Yveltal.
"I aM DaRkNesS! I wIll CoNsuMe EveRytHinG. EvEn YoU!" threatened the voice.
Yveltal suddenly woke up with a pair of red eyes hovering over its face. Jumping up, Yveltal came to ease, seeing a familiar face staring right into its matching red eyes. Sweat dripped down its face, thinking about the nightmare it had awoken from.
"Houndoom! What are you thinking, getting so close to me like that!" Yveltal scolded trying to hide the shock inside.
"Sorry master, but it is time. You told me to remind you, when you have awoken from your slumber, about our plan." replied Houndoom. "Also, you looked quite troubled while you were sleeping. Is everything okay?"
"Yes, it is fine. Just a dumb nightmare, nothing more." replied Yveltal.
Yveltal had been looking forward to this talk with Houndoom. Houndoom had been created by the little power that Yveltal had absorbed from Arceus in thier last battle. Yveltal secretly envyed Arceus, as much as it hated to admit. It would never allow itself to get caught saying that or even showing it, but deep down inside, that was the truth. Yveltal wanted to prove that it was the stronger of the two.
"Houndoom, I have blessed you with the power of the sun."
"What is the sun?" asked Houndoom.
"I had a vision. To create a light that shines so bright that you can see very far away. As well as burning so hot that no being can come close to it without burning up." explained Yveltal. " I am not sure how I am going about doing so, but I will find a way. You will have a portion of that power, not being nearly as hot, of course but you can spew fire from the core of your very being. You should get some practice before we head off to get vengence on Arceus and his allies. This hot substance is known as fire."
"Maybe this creation will have something to do with this nightmare I had!" Yveltal thought to himself. "I am not the one that fears, but even I recognize that this could be a threat if it was real"
As Yveltal stared at Houndoom's hound like body, It couldn't be any more proud of it's creation. He had a black base body with an orange snout and white boned horns pointing up from each side of the top of his head. Houndoom also had similar bone like features, three of them to be exact, horizontally on its back. He also had large bone like collar around his neck with two large tusk features coming from each side of his legs. Houndoom waved his arrow shaped tail, while looking back through the split in the arrow at Yveltal.
"How hard can this fire spitting be." Houndoom reassured itself with confidence.
Houndoom focused to the center of his being. He could feel his stomach getting hot. Houndoom proceeded to breathing out of his snout but very little embers came out.
"Just keep working on it Houndoom. You will get it in no time with some practice." I will wait a few moments to prepare the strike, because I plan on training a bit myself."
Houndoom focused with more confidence. I must help my master, He thought. The fire in his belly grew. This was his moment to shine!
"RRRAAAAAWWWWRRRR!" a stream of fire came pouring out of Houndoom's mouth.
"I did it!" Houndoom thought to himself.
"Lets go Houndoom. You can practice on the way." said Yveltal. "One more thing. You have this power that will kick in, when in the heat of a great battle. Let your instincts guide you and you should be able to use this power with ease. Never lose concentration or confidence. These two are very important keys of victory of a battle"
"I understand." Houndoom replied.
"They are coming!" Lucario told Arceus. "Two of them, very powerful. I feel it in my Aura. We should gather our forces and wait to defend from this attack.
"Are you sure they are attacking." asked Arceus.
"Yes I can feel it. Even though there are only two of them, they seemed to be at a very high level of power. One of them is the same creature as before." noted Lucario
"Well we dont have much to gather since I haven't seen the deity trio for some time now, but im sure they will gather if they feel danger. They are pretty good at doing that" replied Arceus.
It was true. Lucario thought back to when Giratina had helped him when all hope seemed lost. How did they know? Maybe they had some kind of sensor deep within them to let them know that the balance of the universe was in trouble. Lucario stared back at Arceus reassuringly.
"I guess it is just us two for now then." observed Lucario. "And Zekurshirem, wherever it may have went off to. Probably to get some rest from all the energy it had expended.
"I Am GeTtinG CloSer!" came a voice inside of Yveltal's head.
"What is this noise; this eerie presense." Yveltal questioned. "Just like in my dream. I thought it was just a nightmare. What is going on?"
Houndoom ran forward with his four paws. Yveltal stopped.
"Hey, wait a second, Houndoom!"
"What is it, Master?"
"I need a moment."
"Okay I'll get some practice in!" exclaimed Houndoom at the thought of his new found power. "You seemed troubled again. Are you sure everything is okay?"
"Yes, it is nothing. Just need a moment break, that is all." assured Yveltal.
Yveltal was not sure if he should let Houndoom know about what was going on. It wasn't even sure if it was real or just an imagination. It sure seemed real to Yveltal though.
"Let us keep moving." Yveltal finally said a few moments later.
"They stopped for a moment, but now they are back on the move!" said Lucario. " They are nearly here."
Moments later, the eyes of the two godly rivals had finally met. Lucario's eyes had met with Houndoom's. Lucario tried to study houndoom, but couldn't really make anything of it, besides his outside features.
"Well, I guess I will have to see what he can do in battle." Lucario thought to himself.
Houndoom had launched out with a bite attack at Lucario. Lucario barely dodging, countered back with a kick, sending Houndoom flying back to Yveltal. Lucario's foot had slightly burnt with the heat emitting from Houndoom's body.
"What is this?" Lucario looking down at his foot, still feeling the heat from it.
Houndoom got back up and growled at Lucario. It was now Yveltal's turn to make a move. Naturally going for Arceus with a glowing wing attack, stealing more of its power. Arceus then struck back with an Ice beam and froze Yveltal in it's tracks.
"Dont worry master, I will get you out of there. RRRAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRR!" Houndoom had pour another stream of fire at the ice, as it melted away.
Knowing that he could not get too close to Houndoom without suffering another burn, Lucario launched an Aura Sphere at Houndoom. The sphere had sent Houndoom flying back once more. Houndoom laid there for a moment trying to get up.
"What was that all about!" Houndoom thought. "I didnt even see it coming!"
"Houndoom!" Yveltal cried out, looking back at Arceus and Lucario. "It will not end like this!"
"HahAHa, No iT WonT!" came the familiar voice inside of Yveltal's head.
For a moment, Yveltal had no control over his body. A beam of darkness had shot out of Yveltal's mouth and struck Arceus. Arceus had turn to stone right before Lucario's eyes.
"I feEd oFF oF YoUr NeGativE EmoTioNs, YvelTal" said the darkness. "FoR I aM DarK MatTer aNd YoU ArE JuSt A PaWn To mE!"
Yveltal had snapped out of it. Yveltal knew It had to fight back at this mysterious dark matter of whatever cost.
"No one uses me!" Yveltal said flying towards Lucario with his glowing wings. "I wonder what kind of power YOU have."
"I dont think so!" said a familiar voice. Zekurshirem had appeared at the battle, holding Yveltal at bay. "Leave this one to me, Lucario. You focus on Houndoom. He seems to have some fight left in him."
It was true. Houndoom was getting up from where he had fallen, stubborn as ever, ready to assist his master. Before Lucario could make a move, Yveltal had shot a close range Dark Pulse right through Zekurshirem leaving a big hole. Lucario could not believe the power behind the move. Something isn't right here.
"No!" Lucario cried out. It was just him left. What was he suppose to do against all of these powerful moves. "I can't give up!"
"Hahaha, You're power is now mine. What a foolish thing to do, thinking you could counter me like that!" Yveltal said.
Two orbs, as well as another object had flew toward Lucario. Lucario had caught all three of them and studied the two orbs and the diamond shaped object. The diamond object had strings of balls running through the inside of it. What could these be? Lucario couldn't help to think. More importantly what was he to do. He looked back up to see a icy structure left from where Zekurshirem had stood. It resembled a gray, white, and icy blue shell of what its being was, but a bit smaller. Two yellow eyes had glown from where the eye sockets were.
"It's over!" said the dragon shaped shell stricking back at Yveltal, sending him flying back. "For I am Kyurem, remember my name of when I defeat you."
Houndoom's eyes had started glowing a bright orange. Suddenly, flaming hellhounds had appeared all around Houndoom, ready to fight. These creatures were nothing but fire shaped hounds, but they sure looked dangerous.
"This is what Yveltal must of been talking about." Houndoom thought. "This must be my special power!"
Houndoom felt like a leader of a pack. ready to move in for the kill. The 10 hounds that appeared around him had lept towards Kyurem, striking all at once. Kyurem had vanished as another orb had flew back towards Lucario as he grabbed it too.
"I sure do have my hands full." Lucario exclaimed. "I wish I knew what to do"
Moments later, a star shaped light had flew right in front of Lucario's face. The four Deoxys had appeared right in front of Lucario.
"You look like in a heap of trouble." Deoxys-N observed. "We can hold those for you, so you can get back to battle."
Lucario didn't have much choice, so he handed the objects to the four Deoxys. The Deoxys then began to observe the objects.
"Jirachi would want to see these, if that is okay with you, Lucario. We will give them back afterwards. Jirachi is a genius and knows alot about objects that many of us can barely begin to understand."
"That is fine." replied Lucario. "Let me know what Jirachi finds out." The Deoxys flew away.
"We are done here, Houndoom." Yveltal said, wrapping his wings around Houndoom, vanishing. "Let's go"
The two enemies were nowhere in sight. Lucario couldnt help to think why they didn't finish him off when they had the chance. Luckily for him, now he could figure out a cure for Arceus and find out what those objects were that Zekurshirem left behind.
