Chapter four! Here we go! So, I know that even though these are shorter chapters, I still have four stories that I'm trying to update at the same time without ditching them for a month. I've been pretty good at that, I think. The one that doesn't get updated more often would be T.O.O.O. (An anthropomorphic pokemon story, not mature btw, cause' I don't write those kind of stories). If you've already noticed it, I'm going to be pulling all the main "heroes" from my other stories into one big story after I decide I have the perfect balance of characters. The confirmed ones so far are: Zeke (and his pokemon team), Rain (the character from T.O.O.O), Crescent (couldn't do it without that guy), and Destin (#FNAF). Zeke is the smart one, Crescent is the witty and strong one, Destin is the careful and precise one, and Rain is un-predictable one, giving him an edge in almost any battle. Anyways, enough of my babbling, let's get into this.
Darkness Rising 4: Zombie-cons
"And he left" I smacked my forehead. "He actually left" I shook my head. The next day I woke up to some other sounds.
"Than why do I hear an edge in your voice?" Arcee asked.
"Arcee, much has changed in the last few days" Optimus sternly replied. "We will be out of communication's range for some time" Optimus told the bots. I turned to Darkrai, noticing a tired expression on his face.
"Did it go well?" I asked.
"It did, I think, but not without work" He replied.
"Why don't you get some rest?" I offered, pulling out the luxury ball (since he had liked the color scheme).
"I think I'd like that" He said, pushing the button on the ball, going into it. I decided to return all my other pokemon, about to do a rash decision, one I'd most likely regret. I hopped over the yellow barrier on the platform, landed on the ground, and snuck around in the darker corners of the base, until I reached the ground bridge that was about to close. I noticed that the gang didn't seem to notice. I smirked as I walked into the portal (those who think that I got this timeline slightly wrong, you'd be right, I wanted to put Zeke into these scenes, it will help for the story later). I walked through the portal as it closed and looked up at the doc bot and Optimus.
"So, what mission are you two on again?" I asked. The two turned around and looked down at me.
"You followed us, humans, unbelievable" Ratchet said, annoyed.
"Zeke, it was not the wisest decision to follow us, considering the mission we're on" Optimus sternly told me.
"Well, I can take care of myself, I think I showed that when I defeated a decepticon combat brigade" I countered. Optimus considered this and picked me up, putting me on top of his head.
"Alright, you can come with us, but stay out of trouble" Optimus told me.
"Alright, nice uh, foggy view" I said, finally looking at the scenery. It was rocky, cliffy, dark, and foggy. Almost dead looking, my presence seemed to make some of the fog around us go away, for some odd reason.
"Do you recall the time in the war when both sides began to hide energon on other planets?" Optimus asked Ratchet.
"Yes, it's the only reason energon even exists on planets like this one" Ratchet replied.
"It's also the reason battles came to wage on planets such as this one, and reveals what Megatron's plan is, remember the dark energon on your tool?" Optimus asked.
"Well, Megatron would have to bring quite a few toaster ovens, where on this planet would he find such a large amount of cybertronian dead?" Ratchet asked.
"I fear Megatron's memory is as long as history" Optimus replied.
"Wait, so, there must've been a large battle over some energon deposit, and Megatron plan on bringing them back from the dead?" I asked, shudderin, recalling something I had once seen on top of pokemon tower.
"Yes, Zeke, is there something on your mind?"
"There is, but I don't feel like talking about right now" I shuddered, remembering that day.
Flashback
It was in the middle of the night, only a few days before I would be moving to Johto. I decided I wanted to visit the pokemon tower, but not with any friends, just a flash light. The reason? I felt a need to disprove the myth about the top of the tower. I walked into the first floor, seeing several ghost pokemon minding their business. I at least made one smart decision that night, being the night where all ghost pokemon are calm. I didn't bother any of them and climbed the next three floors. I could see faded 'R's around the floor. Another two floors, floor five, and there was a black cloth with a red 'R' on it. I dropped the cloth and continued to climb the floors. I made it to the floor right before the top floor, finding only a gengar, banette, and a dusknoir up on the second to last floor. The dusknoir seemed worried about something, and didn't even notice me. The gengar looked confused, and the banette didn't care. I slipped past the dusknoir, and walked up the last set of stairs. I saw two tombstones and walked up to the left one first. Behind it was a stone, 50% light orange, 25% muted yellow, 20% red, 5% reddish/pink. I picked up the stone and put it in my pocket, it looked like it had fallen out of the sky. I looked over to the tombstone, it looked much older and worn. I was debating on whether or not to observe it but, I just had to debunk this myth, the myth? The white hands and Buriedalive. I reached out to the stone, and brushed off the dust off of the words. I couldn't decipher the writing however, all I saw was: mew. I turned around to walk down the stairs, but instead, I heard groaning and turned around and saw something coming out of the floor in front of the tombstone. Out of the floor rose up a translucent figure, he had apricot pokeballs on his waist, the first ever pokeballs released. I was terrified and was frozen in my place.
"*Groan* Fresh…meat" The spectral trainer moaned. My eyes widened and I started shaking, but all of a sudden, something landed in front of me and the ghost. It was something I never expected to see, and possibly the most misunderstood pokemon in existence. Defending me, was the legendary pokemon of dimensions, origin form Giratina! The pokemon screeched its cry and shot a shadow ball at the ghost. The ghost was forced to retreat and giratina took one look at me before retreating through a portal back to its own dimension.
"Woah" I breathed. I fell back on my butt and rubbed my forehead. "Did that really just happen?" I asked.
A few minutes later I walked back down the tower, only to be greeted by my parents. "Zeke! Zeke! Are you okay?! What happened!" My parents shook my shoulders.
"Buriedalive…" I muttered.
"You were attacked? Are you okay!" My mother and father asked me, a crowd was already forming around us.
"Look! Little Zeke's scared!" One of the bullies teased, I was shocked yes, but not scared anymore.
"No…" I mumbled. "Origin…Giratina" I said a little louder. Murmurs were sent across the crowd. "Giratina…saved me" I said, finally looking up.
End of Flashback
When I was out of my trance, I found myself staring at a small army of cybertronian undead.
"No…not again" I shuddered as I looked down at the undead.
"Well, what do we have here? A young human stray from the ranks?" I whirled around, seeing a large, gladiator looking decepticon behind me. I reached for my belt, grabbing a pokeball.
"Who are you!" I questioned.
"Hasn't Optimus mentioned me?" The con asked.
"Well, if he did, he didn't explain well, or I was asleep" I laughed nervously. I didn't move my hand from the pokeball that I had my hand on.
"My name is Megatron, and you should learn to fear me" Megatron told me. He took a step towards me, reaching down to grab me. I dodged his hand and threw a pokeball. I had no idea which pokemon I threw out, but I knew that I'd make it work. Out of the pokeball came Pidgey, definitely something that neither I nor Megatron expected.
"Pidgey! Use sand attack (the most annoying move when you first start out, lol)!"
"Gaah!" Megatron yelled, being blinded. Megatron stumbled, and fell off the rocky cliff face. I watched as Megs' tumbled down and fell on some of the zombie-cons. I quickly ran away from the Cliffside, knowing it would only take about a minute for the cons' leader to get back up, thirsting for human blood. I knew there was nowhere to hide, except, for the battle ground below. I was trapped, and Megatron knew it. My guess for how long it would take for Megatron was correct, because a minute later, I was blown to the ground from a dark energon blast. I tumbled to the ground, not realizing that a certain bird pokemon escaped from her pokeball. I saw a white light, thinking I was dead, when in reality, it was much better than that. I felt myself being picked up and air blowing against my face. It only took me a few seconds to think of a plausible explanation: Pidgey must've evolved and became a Pidgeotto, and was currently saving my arse. The save was short lived, because when I could finally see the ground, I was on the ground. I returned Pidgeotto to her pokeball and stared at Megatron as he stood only feet away from me. I stood to my feet, holding my left arm, and limping. I now stood directly in front of the con.
"You're going to regret doing that" I informed the cons' leader, filled with courage and determination.
"Am I?" He scoffed and laughed.
"Yeah, yeah you are, because there's a certain dimensional dragon descending from above" I managed to smirk as I looked to the cloudy sky. I could see a snake-like figure with six wings and golden shining armor breaking through the fog (origin form).
"Giiirrraaa!" The dragon screeched. Megatron was thrown to the left of me, maybe, 50 feet or so? "Tiiinnnaaa!" The dragon shrieked, forming a dragon-type pokemon move in its mouth. Megatron had just got up, only to be thrown back further by a draco meteor. Megatron was going to try and attack, but his attention was drawn to Optimus, who had just reached the top of the cliff face.
"Megatron!" Optimus yelled.
"Maybe another day, Optimus, I will get a bigger army! This is but a prelude!" Megatron transformed into some sort of jet and flew off.
"Thank you, Giratina" I thanked the dragon.
"Gira!" The dragon screeched. The dragon then flew into the fog barrier and disappeared through a circle of light.
"Zeke, are you okay?" Optimus asked.
"I don't know, I feel a lot of pain in my left arm and right leg" I responded. "But, I'm alive, that's what's important, right?" I humorously asked. Optimus smiled and got Ratchet.
"You broke five bones, I'm surprised you didn't break your neck, you also have some sort of dark matter in your system" Ratchet informed me. "But, it's not doing anything, as if it's being balanced by something else" Ratchet added.
"Well, that's good, that it's not doing anything, the only question is: why?" I asked.
"I'll have to run scans on you every once in a while, to make sure that everything is okay" Ratchet replied. "Just take it easy for a day, and rest" Ratchet ordered. I nodded and walked over to my "bed".
"You okay?" Darkrai asked me.
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine, just need to take it easy, try not to damage anymore bones, considering I broke five" I mused, grinning at my friend.
"You know, I worry about you sometimes" Darkrai told me, a worrying look was in his right eye (the only one normally visable).
"I haven't nearly got myself killed that many times, have I?" I asked.
"With, or without my presence?" Darkrai sarcastically asked. "Let's see here, there was the zombie incident at pokemon tower (that comment caught Optimus' glance), then there was that time when you tried to talk sense into Dialga and Palkia when they appeared in your town at the time, oh, then that time when a haunter almost killed you, here's another one: that time when you fell off a cliff side and I had to catch you, then there was that time when you almost saw what was underneath a mimikyu's costume, and the last famous one was when you decided you wanted to see what a beedrill colony leader looked like" Darkrai sarcastically replied.
"What about that one ultra-beast incident?" I asked.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, when you were nearly scrapped by a guzzlord" Darkrai added. "That too"
"You really have a habit of getting into trouble" Arcee noted.
"Not always on purpose" I replied, trying to defend myself. "I'm like a magnet for adventure" I stated.
"More like a magnet for trouble" Darkrai muttered.
#I don't know what else to do for darkness rising 4 and I want to get a longer chapte rout for you all, so I'm going to get right into darkness rising 5.
"You're going to space?" I asked, confused at the whole thing, as Jack stood next to me.
"Yep, the final frontier" Miko replied.
"Can the bots even get to space?" Jack asked.
"Not really" Raf replied.
"Something about stretching the bridge too far" I told Jack. "And wouldn't the final frontier be another dimension?" I asked.
"Oh, be quiet" Miko snapped.
"Also, what happened to you?" Jack asked me.
"Got hit with a dark energon blast, ya' know, the virtually non-existent stuff? Got blown to the ground, Pidgey "poke-volved", and a giant dimensional dragon saved me, for the second time" I summarized.
"Ah-ha, so, you broke a few bones in the process, maybe I should get my mom to look at that" Jack told me.
"That might be a good idea" I replied. "For now, let's hope the bots can deal with the darkness that's rising" I told Jack.
Time skip to the satellite array in Texas scene
"The security in the place lacks" Miko observed as we arrived.
"Yeah, it's definitely bad" I replied as we entered the building. We arrived in a room where Raf started typing away at a computer.
"Now, who would be the best to help us guard this place?" I asked myself, thinking about the most possible explanation: a security guard. So, I chose what any water balloon master would choose: Totodile. I released the small, cute little blue alligator from his capsule kneeled down to his level. "Hey Totodile, do you think you could help us stand guard?" I asked. Totodile smiled and walked over to the door.
"To-to!" Totodile happily yelled. I smiled as Totodile stood at the doorway. I stood only a foot behind him as I peered out of the doorway. A minute or two passed and I started to see something black and purple heading towards the room.
"Are there black and purple animals in Texas?" I asked.
"What?" Jack asked, peering out of the door. "No! That's one of Soundwave's tentacle arm things!" Jack exclaimed as it entered the room.
"Totodile! Use bite!" I quickly switched into a my "battle attitude" as Totodile jumped into action. The arm flinched and threw Totodile off, smashing the computer with an axe.
"You gave it an axe?!" Jack yelled to Miko as we ran out of the room.
"I did not hand it an axe! It stole the axe!" Miko yelled back. We entered the room to see a black and purple con.
"Totodile! Use water gun!" I exclaimed, the water was high pressured, made the con flinch, and covered his screen in water. The con then turned around and flew off.
"The coordinates are locked onto Cybertron" Raf said, crouching down to the cords.
"Let's get back to base" I offered, lending Raf a hand.
"They need backup" I observed, not knowing how to help.
"They do, but from whom?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, Ratchet can't help, he's stuck at base, he's the only one who could properly get them back" Raf replied.
"I'll go" I said, coming up with an idea.
"And how do you propose to do that, without a space suit?" Ratchet asked.
"With the power of a dimensional dragon" I grinned, taking the elevator to the top of the base, with Miko, Raf, and Jack.
"You all ready to see the dimensional dragon, Giratina?" I asked.
"Yeah!" Miko exclaimed.
"I guess" Jack shrugged.
"It would be an interesting sight" Raf replied.
"Well then, let's do this" I said, turning my attention to the cloudy sky.
"Giratina! We need your help! The bots need your help! This world needs your help!" I yelled to the sky. Not five seconds passed until a swirling gray light appeared above the cloud layer. Giratina (origin form) descended from the gray clouds, hovering in front of the giant rock we were on.
"Giiirrraa!" Giratina screeched.
"Giratina, can you take me up to the space bridge by the cons' warship?" I asked, hopefully looking into Giratina's eyes with determination.
"Gira!" Giratina screamed, turning around to let me on its back. I climbed on as a blackish force field appeared around me. Giratina then took to the sky, aiming for the moon. "Ggiiirrraaa!" Giratina screeched as we broke the cloud layers.
"Hold in there, we're coming" I muttered as we broke into the ozone layer.
"Raf!" I exclaimed through the phone Crescent gave me.
"Zeke! How can you-"
"Never mind that! Can you blow up the space bridge from the inside?!" I yelled while wrecking con' tailpipe.
"Would schematics help?" I heard Raf ask someone else.
"Optimus, are you sure you want to do this?" I heard Ratchet ask.
"It's our only choice" I heard Optimus say over the comm.
"Then let us light our darkest hour!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"Get ready for a bang!" I yelled, both to our team, and to Giratina. I smirked as Megatron spotted me, I made a fake salute and continued to wreck con' tailpipe with Giratina.
"Get scrapped" I grinned, putting on swag sunglasses.
We are currently experiencing character problems, please stand by.
The space bridge started glowing, I knew it was about to blow up. "Giratina! We have to get out of here!" I exclaimed. Giratina looked back to me and nodded, diving towards the earth's surface. However, a purple laser hurtled towards me, knocking me off of Giratina's back, and sent me plummeting towards the earth's surface.
"We're out of time!" I managed to yell out. However, before I could enter the earth's atmosphere, I fell through a gray circle, and I landed on the yellow couch back at the base. "*PLUMP!* Ow…" I groaned after hitting the couch, thankfully, I don't think I broke anything else.
"Zeke?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, I think, I think Giratina teleported me here, man that's an awesome misunderstood pokemon" I rubbed my head, standing up. "I don't think I broke anything else, everyone fine here?" I asked.
"Arcee managed to get shot, but she'll be fine" Jack replied.
"Good, I got shot off of Giratina's back, nearly burnt up in the earth's atmosphere, how are you doing?" I asked.
"Well, pretty good actually" Jack replied.
"What's you learn about going into space without my permission?" Ratchet asked sternly.
"I learned that Megs does not like being mocked" I sarcastically replied, making the teens laugh, and even made Optimus crack a small smile. Bulkhead and Bumblebee were also grinning.
"So, Megatron didn't only set his sights on shooting me, huh?" Arcee asked, walking out of, whatever that place is.
"Yeah, huh, guess we're know on the: I want their heads on a silver platter list, eh?" I asked, grinning.
Alright, this should've been out Friday, but I had to work on my thesis paper. I also have six lessons of Algebra one to do this week, so, updates might be a little slow. Two, I had some scout stuff to do and I spent some time with my family, I also read a bit. Both online and from a book. To finish that off, I also got a new 3DS XL, since my old one broke (the top screen literally snapped off the bottom one after I dropped it), if you were wondering, it has the C stick and its red. So, I'm really hyped about that, I can finally finish playing Ultra Moon. So, I played a bit of that as well. But hey, you guys ended up with a longer chapter, so, yeah. Also! Thank you for (had to look at the story really quick) 89 reads and one review! As well as 1 favorite! Again, thank you!
