In a desert, surrounded by black rocks, over three feet tall and 5 feet wide, Electrophos and Venasu were hiding behind one of the rocks as they were being shot at by Florge's soldiers, who looked like an army of Scizor's.

"What the hell is up with those guys." Said Venasu

Electrophos charges up an Aura Sphere, colored blue with white sparks coming out of it and throws it at the soldiers, creating a dust cloud in the process.

"Let's go!" shouted Electrophos as they ran to a deep cave, which looked like one of the rocks they were hiding behind earlier except larger and with a hole in the middle of the rock.

Inside the cave, Electrophos picked up a rock big enough to block the entrance and set it down.

The surface of the cave was rocky, with sharp rocks in the walls and by blocking the cave, it was pitch black.

"Hang on a second." Said Electrophos

He found another large rock and put it between him and Venasu.

Venasu then planted grass on top of the rock, as Electrophos launched a flamethrower, igniting the rock and giving the two a light source.

As Electrophos raised his right hand over his shoulder, he struck up a conversation with Venasu.

"It appears we're safe for now." Said Electrophos

"That's good. But what was up with those soldiers?" asked Venasu

Electrophos let out a deep sigh.

"I wish I knew Venasu. I wish I knew. My only guess is that some members of the government survived and are trying to get their power back."

"But what can they take over if everyone dies!" shouted Venasu

"They only care for short term results. When the long term effects kick in, they cower like cowards."

"Figures. But I need to inform you of something. I can't guarantee that my powers can save the world. This planet is huge and I have never used this power before this."

"I understand. But if you can at least save a small area, then it'll be worth it." said Electrophos, as he clenched his teeth in pain.

"What's wrong Electrophos?" said Venasu surprised

She took a look at Electrophos' shoulder and noticed a medium sized purple spot.

"You have an infection?"

Electrophos lowered his head.

"Yes. I think I had it since I fought those Golems."

"But don't you have any first aid?"

Electrophos shook his head.

"Why not? Did you ever think you might need it in the event tha."

"It's not important what happens to me. As long as everyone's safe, I don't care what happens to me."

"How selfish." Said Venasu

"Life was given to you, and now you're throwing it away. You sicken me."

"Don't you care what will happen to your family when you're gone?"

Electrophos raised his head and looked at Venasu's eyes with an annoyed look on his face.

"My family?"

Electrophos then remembers his wife.

"She's gone. I have nothing left in life to live for. My birth family does however, and I am willing to sacrifice myself for their happiness."

"I suffered so much during my lifetime, that death is my only reward from it. If I die before my goal is complete, I know that others will complete my goal no matter how long it takes. A true hero is one that's willing to put their lives on the lines not for themselves, but for the lives of others."

Venasu was quiet for a bit before she spoke with a smile on her face.

"You made your point Electrophos. But we will have to wait and see if what you say is true." Said Venasu

The flame on top of the rock then goes out.

In the boardroom, every remaining member of the government, with the exception of Florges, was having a meeting.

"So it appears that Florges has launched an attack on the shelters." said Vaporeon, sitting in the front seat.

"But why?" asked Linoone

"It's quite obvious that he wants the power now, rather than later."

Noivern then slammed his fists on the desk.

"We can't allow this to happen! If he goes through with his plan, a lot of people will die!" shouted Noivern.

The remaining members of the boardroom turned their heads to Noivern.

Everyone was silent for a few moments.

"Noivern, you are correct. Florges' plan must be stopped." Said Vaporeon

He got out of his seat and walked over to a white screen, used for projections.

"So what should we do?"

Vice President Noivern then face palmed after hearing what Vaporeon just said.

"I can't believe you. You're the President and yet when crisis comes, you hide like a worm. "

"That's going a little too far Noivern." Said Linoone

"Sorry Linoone, but I am not done."

"Listen Vaporeon, our ways of ruling the populace has failed. We're so focused on the short term, rather than the long term, and that is what got us into this mess in the first place."

Vaporeon then gave a deep sigh.

"Noivern, without a government, the populace would fall into anarchy, and the end result would be disastrous."

"ANARCHY!" shouted Noivern

"We created this "anarchy" you speak of!"

Noivern then cleared his throat and calmed down.

"You know it's funny. Back then, before we had this government or any rule, we were all treated as equal people. Without being judged, we put together a society that lasted for millennia. We worked together to create a society that has lasted longer than the Romans. How I wish that society was like that again."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"Vaporeon, I respect you enough to trust that you know what you must do."

Vaporeon then walked over to Noivern and looked him straight in the eye.

"Noivern. I am thankful that you still respect me despite my actions as president." Said Vaporeon with a smile

Noivern then nodded his head.

Vaporeon then turned around to face the rest of the members of his government.

"Ladies and gentleman, I have an announcement. In the past, we have attacked people for their race, their beliefs, and even who they came from. However, because of this, we are now in a situation where our entire race could go extinct. Now is the time to act, we shall not allow this to happen. We have the power to change things, we have the motivation to do anything our hearts desire. So I beg you all for your support in a better tomorrow!"

Everyone in the board room applauded after hearing Vaporeon's speech.

"Linoone, patch communication to the remaining shelters."

"You got it " said Linoone with a smile on her face as she began to patch communication.

In Electrophos' shelter, Roserot and Darkrai were repairing the hole in the wall that Palkia created, when all of a sudden; they heard a loud beeping noise coming from the centre of the shelter.

As soon as everyone reached the centre, Roserot pressed a button titled "Allow", which caused a white screen to emerge from the ceiling with a Linoone on screen.

"Hello survivors." Said Linoone
