Brandon- ??
Told you I'd be back. This chapter for once contains absolutely no Ash, or May, or anyone else in the group inside of it. I have also updated my first chapter, to make it better I suggest that you read the bit that I have added onto the begging of the first chapter, and if you can tell me what you think about the new version of it (the old one sucked, no doubt about that).
Review Replies: Conspiracy? Maybe, or it could be something larger. The identity of the man will shock and amaze you, and then you will think about how you have seen it somewhere else.

Chapter 18- Pyramid of Kings
All was silent.
It was a clear day, as the sun graced down upon Snowpoint. The sky was a clear blue, without a cloud in sight. The snow reflected the light of the sun, as everything remained still, nothing but silence.
Slowly a distant rumbling could be heard, slowly, steadily, growing in its power. Humming a continuous beat as it origins drew closer and closer. Providing the hum of a powerful engine, that would power a large structure.
Soon the snow glistening outside of Snowpoint Temple, started to shake and displace, as the powerful and Melancholy beats of the distant engines grew and grew, as the light powder that lay on the surface began to shake.
In the distance, easily spotted in the cloudless sky. A flying object bore closer and closer. Its shape resembled a triangle from the large distance it was away. It began to come closer and closer, as its black tiled surfaces became more apparent, and the shape of a pyramid became more clear. As its base, four enormous turbines kept the large structure airborne. One came out of any one of its corners, emanating a loud and melancholy beat, as they all hummed in unison. The greatest feature of the monumental structure was the enormous size of the black pyramid.
The pyramid quickly flew to a point just outside of the temple covering the snow in its large shadow, as the great fan like blades keeping the structure afloat, pushed away the snow like a ripple. The structure slowly, put its engines to a stop, as the structure descended, to a landing.
Slowly, two rather large doors with the symbol of the Battle Frontier, carved in stone above of them, opened up.
A man, with clothes fit for an archaeologist, who would normally be in a warmer climate, was tied up. The young man's, hands and legs were bound by rope, and his mouth was taped up so he could not utter a word. He grunted, trying to wriggle free of the ropes that bound him to no avail.
Another, much older man walked out of the pyramid. He walked past the young assistant, whose struggle, grew as the older man walked past.
His head was held up high, and the grey and ageing features upon his face strained. He was in a dull green attire, that also resembled that of an archaeologist slightly, although unlike that of the younger, bound man was more suited the cold climate.
All around him, a pitch black aura flowed out like a river, as a menacing grin crept upon his face. This was Brandon, the frontier King of the Battle Pyramid. Possessed by the spirit of another king.
The struggling of the assistant, allowed him to sweep his legs, knocking the Grey haired Frontier Brain off of his feet, as the possessed man, fell hitting his head.
Brandon managed to quickly, get back up. His appearance had changed, the menacing grin had vanished, and the rivers of dark Aura had stopped flowing.
The Pyramid king had once again regained control of his body, although time was of the essence before the ancient spirit would once again take control.
Brandon glanced towards his assistant, who was bound although did not take any longer. The Frontier brain looked towards Snowpoint Temple that stood before him, and dashed as fast as he could before the spirit that inhabited him could resurface.

#Begin Flashback#
Brandon could feel the surging pain growing inside of him as the spirit, attempted to force its way to the surface. Brandon grinded his teeth, and clenched his fists, as he held the kings spirit back inside of him.
"I've set the co-ordinates, and I've locked them so they can't be changed" the assistant said, slightly nervous of his boss.
Brandon clutched himself in pain, as the kings spirit spoke out to him.
'DON'T FOOL' It shouted.
"That is the only place where I can make sure that you are sealed away, for eternity. You can't stop me" He said to himself, as his assistant looked on.
'FOOL YOU HAVE NO CLUE' the Spirits voice beamed once more inside of the Frontier Brains mind.
"Yes I do, you made me..." Brandon said to the spirit inside of himself once again, still holding back the pain, and the memory of what unforgivable act the king had forced him to do.
Then, he lost in the tug of war. The dark aura began to flow out of him, and his face grew more menacing.
"Turn us back around, Peasant" The spirit of the King spoke out through Brandon's mouth, to his assistant.
"N, N, No" he replied shakily, although holding his ground to show that he would not be swayed easily by the spirit, who had threatened his life once before.
Then, the young assistant was knocked out, only to wake up bound by rope, and to see his Master under the complete control of the spirit of the ancient king.
As he tried, and failed to understand the technology of the Battle Pyramid. Attempting after numerous times to divert the Pyramid from its course, and failing.
Yet the assistant wondered, what it was so afraid of.
#End Flashback#

The Pyramid King, rushed towards his destination. The blood, rushing through his brain in shock of the internal war that he was waging. With every stride, the spirit that had taken refuge within his body attempted to smash through. Each attempt by the king took more out of the Frontier Brain.
'STOP YOU FOOL' It shouted inside of Brandon's mind once more. Forcing the sweat to flow down his face.
At every turn it seemed that eyes were watching him. Inside every shadow, there they were, and then they would vanish. But the Frontier Brain didn't have time to pursue the matter. He had more important things to worry about, than shadows that may or may not have been there.
Eventually he had reached towards his destination, and there it was standing before him. His only hope at freedom.
The image of the great Pokémon Regigigas, frozen in stone. In the floor a message was written, in a forgotten language, embedded in stone although it was worn away y the great effects of time.
The Frontier Brain didn't focus on the inscriptions for once; his time was limited before he would lose control once again.
He released his three Regis, they then stood at respective positions around the statue of Regigigas, and then began to glow a white light as if they were evolving. So did Regigigas, and its intensity, cracked apart the stone, as chunks fell off piece by piece from the imprisoned stone Golem.
The light from the Regis: Rock, Ice, and Steel dissipated. The Powerful Pokémon looked with their many eyes, as chunk after chunk of Regigigases stone prison fell off.
The three then went down upon one knee and bowed before Regigigas, as a sign of the upmost respect.
Soon, the final pieces of Regigigases prison had fallen off, and he was free. For once in a long time he was able to move his arms, as he held them up into the sky, and shouted.
"REGI!"
"Regi" the three underlying Regis called out after their master, and pounded their arms to their chests, as they continued to kneel.
"Regi" Regigigas spoke out in its native voice [I am Free although he was quickly interrupted.
"Great Regigigas, I ask for your help" the Frontier Brain said as he kneeled on the ground, not out of respect like his Pokémon. He kneeled out of the pain that was growing inside of him.
"Regi, Regigigas" [A Human? Leave now or you will be exterminated Although Brandon was able to hear, yet he could not decipher why. It was like a shadow had pierced his mind. He could feel the screams from the king being quelled, although they had not vanished.
'Speak, or he will kill you' It said, the Frontier Brain now knew that the King had nothing to do with this. This voice wasn't vengeful, or enraged like that of the king, it had a larger sense of malevolence behind of it.
Like, it was playing with him.
Although it was right nevertheless, if he didn't speak the behemoth would kill him. If he didn't ask the Spirit would remain feeding off of his mind, and soul.
Regigigas, readied its large stone like arms, preparing to unleash what was no doubt a powerful attack. An attack which would no doubt take Brandon out with one blow.
"Wait, I was the one who freed you" he pleaded, and in return Regigigas stopped powering up his attack. The titan then looked towards the tiny person in front of him and chuckled lightly.
"Regi?" [So what do you wish in return? And once again the Frontier Brain was able to hear the voice of Regigigas, and still the source of his newly found ability was unknown; yet it didn't stop him from answering.
"Take this spirit out of my body" He asked
"Regi, gigigas?" the Pokémon asked curiously [You don't want a soul?
"NO!" Brandon shouted out, slightly from impatience, although most of it was from the pain caused by the attempts of the king. He regretted it immediately, as he was stuck in the side, not by Regigigas, but by Regi ice, HIS Regi ice
The frontier brain was knocked to his side by the attack from his own Pokémon, after his outburst. He was not able to get back up, because the pain, the sheer pain that he was begging to feel inside of him. Crippling him from the inside, soon the Frontier Brain known as Brandon would be lost, inside of a sea of shadows.
"I am possessed, by an evil spirit, please destroy him for me" He said, trying to catch his breath.
But the titan had heard all that he had wanted to. Brandon's forced outburst, had done its damage, and no amount of begging would change Regigigases mind. Because Regigigases mind had no pity inside of it.
"Regi" [You will die now
"Regi's protect me" Brandon said, as he continued to feel the unbearable pain inside of him.
"Regi, Regi" [Regi's destroy him the large stone golem called out.
Without any question Brandon's three most powerful Pokémon stood up from there kneeling positions to follow their true masters commands.
They turned around, and launched three powerful beams towards Brandon simultaneously, throwing the man like a toy. When he crashed into the wall, his clothes were severely burnt. His hair singed leaving it in chaos. His face scraped and bleeding.
It was impossible to tell whether he was dead or still alive.
"REGIIIIII" the Pokémon hummed, not giving the slightest ounce of concern towards his newest victim [So, you are still here after all of these years.
Slowly, a figure came out of the shadows. Floating in mid-air like a dark spectre, vaguely resembling the Grim Reaper.
'It's nice to see you too, old friend' Darkrai spoke telepathically to the leader of the Regis. The black Pokémon formed a mental link between the two minds, so absolutely no other being may intervene onto their conversation.
'Don't play your foolish games with me! I have been sealed in this tomb for an ETERNITY. You never came' Regigas called out in rage.
'But I have absolutely no way to take command of your Regis, and therefore free you.' Darkrai replied calmly.
'Spirit, you could still manipulate these weak humans. So'
HOW, do you think he was possessed? Humans may be inferior, but they aren't completely pointless. They just need a incentive to fulfil your slightest whim' Darkrais thoughts seemed to sound sinister.
'Like?' Darkrai didn't reply, 'No, NOO, he? but? Perfect. Although I hope that you're not expecting any congratulations that is merely one thorn out of our side.'
'I don't expect anything from you. I was merely fulfilling the wishes of our, Master'
"Regi?" the stone golem was the first to break there telepathic communication [He's Free?
'Tell me, Soldier? Where do your Loyalties lie after your, great imprisonment?'
"RE-GIG-AS" he Bellowed [Don't dare question my loyalties SPIRIT "REGI?" [What does my master command of me? The Legendaries tone became settle after hearing the news.
'Our Lord, and Master is trapped. Imprisoned if you will, on the line between life and death. His physical body; torn apart and scattered around the world.'
"GiGas" he interrupted [That is your department spirit, not mine, I am a solder of our master
'Do NOT interrupt me' the stone golem waited patiently 'soon he will once again be among us, but it is your duty to kill those who had betrayed him.
So that they may not tell these pathetic humans of his existence.
Until the time is right.
Do not let anything stand in your way.
That is the will of the Master'
"Regigigas, Regi!" he said [For the Master, Move out The four Regis then began to walk out of the temple, with Regigigas leading the group.
'How did you know Solder?' Darkrai inquired before they left.
"Re, Regigigas" [Humans aren't smart enough to understand the words that may come out of my mouth. and with that they left. Left alone Darkrai, looked upon the fallen Frontier Brain, and once again vanished into the shadows.

Soon after, Brandon began to slowly stir awake, the idea of a spirit in his mind was only a memory. He tried to move his arms, and legs only to find that they were bound together. He began to panic, as he found himself in the Battle Pyramid, HIS Battle Pyramid.
"Let me GO!" he Bellowed, and he got a reply.
"No, Sir. He, IT is still inside of you. I'm taking you to the only place that you can find help. To the only people that can help you." Brandon's assistant said, as he left the room that Brandon was in.
Slowly but surely the memories came back, along with a sharp stinging sensation in the Mans mind. He was still not alone.

Back in the Temple, the words that were once worn out by the effects of time slowly began to revile themselves, left in an forgotten language.
Saying one message, and one message alone.
LATXO I am the War and the Chaos
