First of all, thank you reviewers for correcting my Darkrie spelling error. It is actually Darkrai. Thank you again for reviewing. Fortunately, I am able to write this story earlier than expected. Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Freeze and Flame
"Rex, I don't think your head is entirely in the game". It was Six. He and Rex were in a Providence ship heading towards where Paradise Base once was, for there has been news of an earthquake there. Rex looked in his jacket, where hidden inside were two out of five Time Gears that Darkrai has spoken of. It would so easy to just destroy them and get this all over with. Rex thought to himself. Darkrai, who was hiding within Rex's Meta Nanite, chuckled. You're starting to think like me now.
What?
I might as well tell you. The Time gears keep time flowing in a certain world. If they are destroyed, all time in that world will stop, causing a Planet's Paralysis.
Planet what?
All time- unmoving. Darkness- everywhere. The whole world- a wasteland.
I can't let you do this!
Ah, but have you forgotten already? You don't have a choice.
Yah. Right. Rex hated having to do dirty work for evil guys. Like the time Van Kleiss made Rex join him just so then the people could care about lived. And back when he worked for Quarry.
When you get your "gears", then what?
I return to my world and basically kill the planet, ruling in the new darkness.
You're a real jerk!
Of course I am. But- what are you? I'm sure you betrayed-
Enough! I'm tired of you and your stupid plan! Rex got up. Six looked at him. "What's wrong?" Rex so wanted to tell that an insane thing known as Darkrai was within him, that he had to destroy an entire world just to keep his friends safe, yet he knew that Darkrai had all the aces in this game. "I just want to blow off some steam when we get there". Six nodded. Things can get frustrating when you have to endure two earthquakes, and possibly more. The Providence ship arrived at the desolate place. "Finally!" Rex landed outside and formed his Rex Ride to drive around.
You know, Blacky, ruling the world won't be enough for you.
That's where you're wrong. I'll be perfectly content when I have everything.
I seriously doubt that. I've met some loco villains that wanted to be even gods, and I bet even that wouldn't be enough for them.
What do you know? Darkrai was starting to get anxious and flustered.
I know 'cause all you guys are alike- you want to take over the world or something like that, and you don't even have a working plan.
Quiet you! Darkrai was getting angrier by the second. This pleased Rex.
Nada.
I said quiet you! Darkrai started activating the Meta Nanite. Rex started to randomly build and unbuild. Smack Hands, Funchucks, Boogie Board, Punk Busters- they randomly formed and deformed.
You will be quiet and listen! Or else!
Ok! OK! Just- stop! Darkrai stopped and Rex fell over, panting.
Just- don't do that again.
Heh, heh, heh. Who's smug now? Find my Time Gears. I'll be waiting.
Fine. Rex went back to where Six was. He had found the next Time gear while Rex was "blowing off steam". "Here," Six said as he gave Rex the Gear. "Let's go".
On the way back, Six was wondering what was bothering Rex. He was… quiet.
"What's wrong?"
"What? Oh, nothing's wrong. Or, not really wrong".
"You look tired".
"I blew off a little too much steam".
"Right". There's something else bothering Rex. Something left him exhausted. Six thought to himself as they arrived back at Providence Base. When they got out, Six decided to do a field test with Rex.
Darkrai was confused. What did he mean when he said field test? Rex didn't answer. Oh. I see. The "silent treatment"?
No. You just wanted me to be quiet. Darkrai would've face-palmed had the situation been different.
Just tell me what he means!
He's going to see how my powers are doing in battle.
This should be interesting. I wonder who'll be killed first.
It's not to the death!
That's no fun.
Aye, korumba.
I'll just watch this "field test". I want to see your potential for myself.
Whatever.
Darkrai just watched as Rex trained with Six. At one point, he had the agent pinned down, and Darkrai had to fight the extreme urge to take over and kill him. He didn't want to make Rex kill anyone- yet. Afterwards, when Rex was in his room, the Pitch-Black Pokémon asked something.
What keeps you from killing?
That's an easy question. Six is my friend. He was the guy that found me.
But would you kill a stranger?
No. I have a thing called mercy.
Mercy?
Yah, man. One of the many things that make you and me different. It's like fire and ice.
I see. Darkrai contemplated this for the rest of the evening. He then noticed that Rex was sleeping. Hehehe. Time for another nightmare to begin.
To be Continued…
I gotta say, I'm rather fond of this one. Of course, it's only the third chapter. Once again, I don't know when the next one will be coming around, and once again, constructive criticism is appreciated. This is Mulunia, signing out.
