Chapter 3: Keldeo vs. the shade dragon

Keldeo POV:

"D…damn i…it got..me keldeo…r..run. *thud*" I heard Angeal say this before he fainted from the loss of blood. I don't get it just a few minutes ago I was calling him idiotic and stupid but he still protected me. Why?

"Angeal! Angeal wake up please you can't die please. Please don't leave me alone *sob*" for the first time in my life I cried and I don't know why but watching Angeal get hurt to protect me it made me feel angry. Angry for not being strong enough to beat that creature, angry at Angeal for fighting that thing, but most importantly angry at myself for letting my first and only friend get hurt.

" HaHaHAhaHA ThaT WEAK human ShouLD haVE Known nOt to mESS wiTh ME AND Now He'LL BE nOthING but Shit for the FLIES tO eAT KEKEKEKEKEKEKe ThaT STUPID fuckiNG IDOITIC HUMAN! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the shade dragon said as he laughed like a maniac.

When I heard him say all that stuff about Angeal that's when my anger boiled over and I felt a sudden burst of power "Don't you dare say another word about my friend you stupid fucking dragon," when I said this I felt the power become more intense "Because if you do I will tear you in two and leave your corpse for the birds to eat you piece of shit!"

"What! WhaT is THIS pOWER I sENse from him it's the same as The guard, IT CAN't be the power OF A GUARD!"

"RESOLUTION!" when that word had left my mouth I felt my appearance changed my red hair had grew longer with a green brown and blue feather attached to it, my horn had grew and changed to a dark blue color, the rest of me seem to grow a little taller as well, this power I don't know why but think it came from Angeal and I'll use his strength now to take this thing down " 'SECRET SWORD!' now pay for what you did to my friend you bastard!" my horn started to glow as the attack I launched was strong so strong that it sent the shade dragon back a few feet.

"You'll paY For THAT ' BLACK CANNON!' " the blast wave that he used before was coming right toward me but I dodged with such speed that it felt like everything was in slow motion "You really think you can keep up with me 'MEGA HYDRO PUMP' " I sent super high pressured water in his face allowing him to be pushed back into the boulder behind him.

"Gyah! YoU retched hoRSE Get This WATer out OF my FaCE NOW! 'sHadoW FURY'" "Not this time 'SECRET SWORD!' " I canceled his attack by blasting him in the face with another slash of my horn. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!"

"*pant* *pant* that should do it. Huh?" I didn't notice it before but when I looked at the dragons face all the area's where I had attacked him seem to be chipping of like he was some sort of painting and the area where Angeal had punched him was glowing with a weird symbol on it "So all I have to do is hit you one more time and your done for then I can get me and Angeal out of here."

" *growl* I WON'T LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YOU! 'ULTIMATE SHADOW FURY!' " just then his entire body started glowing and an extreme amount of black arrows came out of his body and where shot all over the place hitting anything that they touched this thing is nearly dead and it wants to take this place with it.

'Damn it at the rate those arrows are shooting Angeal will get hit I got to end this here and now' "Alright one more time 'SECRET SWORD!' " I charged at him again only being hit by a few arrows my attack came in contact with the light on his jaw and a flash of white light came out of him.

" No nO NO NO NO NO nOOOO! KYAHHHHHHHHHHH!" it screamed louder than it ever screamed before and the light that came from him was so bright that I couldn't even see my own hooves in front of me then I felt it.

'It's cold but hot at the same time just what is this?' I thought to myself as the climate in this one area seemed to change then I saw it.

In the black dragons place was another it was grey with ice on its knees, jaw, and shoulders. The fronts of his chest and back of his neck were covered in white fur while his arms were thin and slender with wings coming out of it, his left arm and wing was frozen while his right arm and wing was white tinged with red . His tail was fluffy and white with four horizontal holes on them which had four red pins plugged into them and lead back to its shoulders two for each. His face scary but calm at the same time and had a yellow jewel in the middle of his forehead his eyes were also yellow. One ear was frozen while the other was white with a redden tip.

"Thank you for helping me young keldeo." The white dragon had said to me.

"How do you know my name and just where did that black dragon go?" I asked him still keeping a defense stance just in case he tried to attack me.

"That black dragon you were fighting was me. I had been possessed by a shadow and couldn't control myself I am sorry for the trouble I caused you and your friend. Speaking of your friend is he alright?" The dragon asked focusing his attention on Angeal.

"Oh man I totally forgot about him. Angeal? Come on Angeal wake up you have to still be alive, please! If you're dead I'll bring you back and kill you myself!" I shouted at him hoping he would wake up soon although I doubted he would for he had lost too much.

"*groan* would you please stop yelling you're gonna make my ears ring *groan*" I heard Angeal say as he started to move around again " Heheh, you didn't really think that I would die here did you?"

"*whimper* you idiot don't scare me like that I really thought you had died." I said as started to hit him on the head with my hoof.

"Ow! Alright I'm sorry just stop hitting me will you?"

"Fine. Just don't scare me again." I had told while trying to wipe the tears from my face.

"Haha, you two are very amusing but to put all laughter aside, Angeal come here I shall heal your wounds." The white dragon told to Angeal.

POV switch: Angeal

"Huh, who are you?" I asked the dragon

"Oh I never told you my name I am kyurem, White kyurem to be exact." he told me as starting walking in my direction.

For some reason I trusted him like he was an old friend from the past or a family member you haven't seen in a long time " Ok white kyurem it's nice to meet you and thanks for the offer on healing me." I told him trying to sound polite.

"So how do you feel now Angeal?"

"I feel good but I'd like to ask you something."

"Go ahead." White kyurem said with a smile

"Just what is a guard you kept calling me that while you were still possessed by that thing you called a shadow so what is it?" I asked him.

"Yeah and also tell us what a shadow is and why they attacked us?" Keldeo had asked him.

"Well those questions will be easy to answer since they basically fall under the same category" white kyurem said while starting to sit down "To begin with Angeal's question a guard is a human who has the ability to boost a guardians power to extreme lengths. They even have the ability to cancel another guard's power when there strength is high enough. Each guard is given a specific symbol called 'kanji' that determines there power, for instants yours Angeal is the kanji symbol truth which gives you the ability to show the weakness of a shadow that way your guardians, like keldeo and I, can destroy it quicker."

"Okay that explains some things but you still haven't said what a shadow is." I said while staring at the symbol on my hand.

"I'm getting to that be patient now then a shadow are guardians who were exposed to the shadow rain, and before you or keldeo say anything else I will explain what the black rain is so stay patient" he had said while keldeo and I had shut or mouths "As I was saying shadows a guardians exposed to the shadow rain that had come from the black clouds. When exposed to it their forms started to change into the creatures you just saw and to what I just was when you fought me unfortunately not all guardians can turn back while fighting, others you must kill in order to turn back. The shadows once roam this earth a decade ago during the shadow wars. Once the war was over the guard who beard the Kanji hero was ordered by other humans to seal the guardians along with the shadows for they blamed us for what had happened. While sealed away some guardians started to hate the humans for blaming them for what happened and even that alone started to turn them into shadows. That is what the shadows are hatred in its pure form."

When kyurem had finished explaining this I saw the sadness on his face how could we do something like that to them? The guardians went out of their way to help us and we blamed them for the shadows, that's just terrible. I turned to look at keldeo and saw that he also had sadness on his face "White kyurem I know we just met but I would like for you to help me with one last thing you two keldeo."

"Yes what is it?" they both asked

"I want you both to help me find out why the shadows were created and why they came back can you do that?" they both just looked at me so I continued talking "I also want to clear the guardians name for bringing the shadows here, You helped us in our time of need and all we did was accused you and lock you away now it's time we return the favor so will you help me?" I asked again

Both of them just looked at me and then they nodded their heads showing that they agreed but our troubles weren't over yet not by a long shot.

*Ka-Booooom*

That explosion it sounded like it came from town.

"Angeal cover one of your eyes with your right hand you'll be able to see through the eyes of another guardian close by." White kyurem told me

I did as he told and when I did I saw the town and it was in ruins and covered in shadows but that's not all I saw. I saw Laio and Fox surrounded by shadows not only that but Laio and fox were being protected by two guardians one that looked like a blue deer and the other looked like a greyish brown bull I could tell they were guardians but it wasn't there eyes I were looking through whoever it was watching them fight and not even helping them. How those things got to the city I'll never know but one thing I do know is that Laio and Fox are right in the middle of it.
