Looking forward to a certain part in this chapter! The Final part of the Spirit Temple Arc begins!
I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Capititulus Septendecim: Fire and Ice
Quickly playing the Requiem of Spirit Ash found himself back at the desert collossus, he looked around blinking. "Not much has changed in seven years except ya know the water."
"Let's hurry and find a way to help Iris." Hilda replied looking towards the large temple.
"Right," Ash replied as he headed forward entering the Temple.
When he entered he suddenly saw a large Goodra and a Gabite looking over they grinned. Ash blinked at them a little perplexed. "Who- wait, are you the Goomy and Gible I met seven years ago?" Ash asked.
"Goood/Gab!" they replied greeting him.
"Good to see ya, think you can help us out we want to find Iris and free her along with this Temple." Ash stated clenching his fists.
The two nodded, Ash nodded back he then headed up the stairs towards the large silver block he equipped the Silver Gauntlets. "Looks like I'll get to use these after all." Ash muttered to himself as he tightened the last strap. He placed his hands on the block and started pushing he heard a familiar rough sliding noise. "HA! guys its moving!" Ash shouted in glee.
Hilda rang in excitement. "Way to go Ash, keep it up!"
"PIKA PIKA PIKACHU," Pikachu shouted jumping up and down happily. Ash grinned once the block had fallen into the pit for it he found himself in a room similar to the one he was in seven years ago filled with Blade traps and a Beamos.
Ash used one of his arrows to stun the beamos while he blasted it with a bomb as for the blade traps well….
"Gab, Gab, Gab." He muttered chewing on them. "Biiiitteeee." He sighed contently before…"URRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPP!" the burp was so loud it alerted Paul who not only was all the way back in Kakario but rushed out to see what caused it but couldn't find the cause.
"Man…you almost caved in the temple I can't save it if you wreck it." Ash sighed taking his hands away from his ears.
"Ash up there!" Hilda stated alerting him to the ceiling Ash instantly used his long shot to shoot it. Once that was done the door on the left was unbarred and he headed through it.
When Ash got through he was suddenly attack by a Wolfos that lunged at him Ash managed to roll away and strike it with his Biggoron sword and send it into the wall it snarled as it got up and lunged again Ash quickly dodged and landed a jump attack he jumped back just as Pikachu thunder bolted the creature and Gabite and Goodra hit it with a double dragon pulse killing it.
"Thanks you guys." Ash told them as they smiled and replied with their respective language.
"Hey a Triforce symbol," Ash muttered, taking out the Time Flute and playing Serena's lullaby which made a chest appear when Ash hook shot over and opened the chest he found that his compass had become more powerful.
With this room being a dead end Ash turned around and exited it. "That was kind of waste." He grumbled.
"Not really the Compass is pointing in that direction through the other door." Hilda told him he looked at it was glowing silver it's needle pointing to the right.
"I hope that means a small key they're silver, let's go!" Ash stated pointing their way forward as they rushed through the door on the right.
This room was interesting the sound assaulted Ash's ears unnerving him and the others a bit as they stared at the boulders rolling back and forth in the room. "This is weird, looks like I just have to cross." He then saw a familiar object. "And collect more silver rupees while I'm at it." he huffed.
"Seriously," Hilda harped. "They're really getting old."
Ash also saw the time blocks that were in different areas of the room as well, once he obtained three two in Alcoves with rocks that barely missed him and one in the air, with the hover boots (He had tried it about twice with a long jump and was almost squashed before using them though,) Ash proceeded to get the remaining rupees by using the Song of Time to remove the time block which had a silver rupee behind it. The final Rupee was in an alcove adjacent to the one he got the fourth in.
The next room Ash had found a small key however something dropped beside him.
"ASH LOOK OUT!" Hilda screamed ringing spastically while Gabite, Goodra and Pikachu cried out.
"Huh?" Ash asked turning to see the Like Like stretching up. "HOLLY CRAP!" he shouted mindlessly aiming for his bow a random arrow and shooting it the Like Like froze instantly.
"Hey check out what the Ice arrows did." Ash grinned. "That's pretty cool, no pun intended." He shattered the Like Like with the Master Sword and headed back towards the first room he was in. "Now that we have this it's time to enter door number two!" Ash stated feeling confident.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed.
Back in the first room Ash and co. managed to duck by the Beamos and unlock the door. Inside was another hallway, as Ash walked through another Like, Like dropped down. "WAAAAAHHH!" Ash in the same fashion as before froze it with an Ice arrow before slashing away with Biggoron's sword shattering it.
Finding a ladder like wall which he and the others had to climb or in the case of Goodra, borrow the hookshot and use a target that Ash placed they found themselves in a room with strong sunlight pouring into it and hitting mirror. "Pika!" Pikachu suddenly yelped when it was hit by nothing.
"Pikachu!" Ash cried rushing over suddenly being grabbed he stabbed it with his sword and was dropped quickly getting out the eyes of truth Ash saw it was a Floor Master. "Gabite use Draco Meteor!"
"GAAAABBBBBBBB IIITE!" he shouted unleashing the attack.
"CHAAAAA!" Pikachu spastically screamed as Hilda turned white.
"Oh, Crap, oh crap!" she cried as they braced themselves but nothing happened instead there was a shriek and they found that only the monster had been killed.
"Pikachu you okay?" Ash asked handing him a red potion to drink which Pikachu greatfully took Hilda who was turning a little red got right in his face.
"And what would've happened if he hadn't mastered that in the seven years that had passed?" she hissed getting right to his eyes.
"Uhhh sorry," Ash muttered rubbing the back of his neck. "I guess I wasn't thinking."
Hilda sighed. "Anyway, looks like you can move that mirror around."
"There are four switches though what do we do try each one till we get it?" Ash asked.
"That's a little time consuming; maybe your lens of truth, see if it can fish out the real one." Hilda suggested.
"Good idea." Ash replied doing so he found that the third one remained under the lens. "Okay I know which, one to hit!" he stated, pushing it quickly to the correct switch that opened the door.
"Hey I know this room." Ash stated looking around they were indeed back in the room with the Colossus statue. Ash dropped down and lit the torches which seemed to do nothing other than light up the room he headed back up towards the stairs then up them "Ash down here!" Hilda called showing him a Triforce symbol Ash jumped down onto the hand landing perfectly on his feet before getting out the time flute and played Serena's lullaby getting the chest to appear Ash tried to shoot his hook shot at the chest but it fell a few inches short.
"Aww man I'll have to get around." Ash muttered jumping down using the rolling technique to avoid getting hurt as the Deku scrub from seven years ago told him. He went around to the other side climbed up and from there he was able to get the small key within the chest.
"Goood!" Goodra shouted pointing at a barred door. Gabite walked up to it and proceeded to use Dragon Pulse on it the attack rushed forward however it was instantly absorbed by a magical force on the door then spat back out at them.
"WAAAH!" Ash and the other cried as they ran in different directions the attack blasting the wall causing a large impact.
"I wouldn't try that again if I were you." Hilda flatly said her wings buzzing in irritation.
"Gab." Gabite muttered hanging his head.
"Don't worry Gabite we know you were just trying to help." Ash replied giving his head a rub. "Let's take another look around. After some searching Ash eventually found red rusty switch which he had to use the hover boots to get to, "HIYUA!" Ash roared bashing in the switch down which caused the door Goodra showed to unlock.
"Alright let's go!" Ash stated rushing through the group soon found themselves in a hall with a bunch of large blocks similar to the ones at the start of the adult half of the temple. Ash got to work with help from Goodra and Gabite pushing the blocks till they fell into place however it was found to be a dead end. "Aww nuts," Ash groaned as they had to turn around finally they found a locked door at the top of the left stair case. "Okay this time for sure!" Ash stated as they entered the room.
The room they entered was a bit of a stair case with a Beamos that Goodra instantly dispatched with his Dragon Pulse. Once at the top of the stairs they entered the next room which had two Anubis and a beamos. "I know what to do about those!" Ash stated taking out his fire arrows and instantly sniping them and killing them instantly.
"GABBBBIITE!" he shouted hitting a nearby Beamos with his Dragon Pulse.
"Well that cleared the room good work you two." Hilda congratulated.
"And it opened the door." Ash stated as they entered they saw a blue switch that needed constant weight and four Armos which came alive when he got close but backed off when he went in and out again. "That's just cruel!" he groaned realizing he had to trick one into standing on the switch to do this he had the others wait by the door and use himself as bait to lure one on after several tries they manged to duck through the door. "Like I said that was just cruel."
"It could be worse they could've used Redeads." Hilda noted optimistically.
Hearing this Ash paused for a moment thinking this over before nodding, "very true."
They finally made it to the door and entered. "Uh oh…" Ash muttered looking around pillars just like the last one. "This looks eerily familiar."
"Right?" Hilda stated. "Be on your guard."
"Chu," Pikachu added as they made their way down the hall. At the end was an Iron Knuck Ash lightly touched it with the Big Goron sword and it sprung to life.
"WHOA!" Ash stated jumping back as it slammed down it's axe down on the ground. Ash managed to slash it with the Biggoron sword.
"PIKKAAAAAA CHUUUUUU!" he shouted zapping the monster it was suddenly slammed into by Gabite covered in a yellow aura.
"That was Façade!" Hilda cried she suddenly gasped as Goodra was being slashed at however it seemed to be bracing itself.
"DRAAAAAAAA!" she shouted unleashing a powerful bide that slammed the Iron Knuckle into the wall.
"RAAAAH!" Ash shouted landing a spin attack it lunge at him a little bit faster with some of it's armor gone.
"Gabite use Dig!" Ash called.
"GAB!" he shouted diving underground and striking the armor which managed to land on its feet.
"TAKE THIS RAAH!" Ash shouted slamming the Biggoron sword on it causing it to fall to its knees and burn away. Once it was gone Ash grinned and in a triumphant pose placed the Biggoron sword back into its sheath while Pikachu and the others cheered. "Thank you guys!" he said to them giving Pikachu a pat and grateful glance to the two Dragons. The group headed out of the door finding, themselves outside.
"Another large chest," Hilda muttered puzzled.
"But I've already got the dungeon item, well might as well have a look." Ash muttered opening it.
"Careful it could be a trap." Hilda called.
"I know." Ash replied top torso deep inside he came back out holding a blue pentagon shaped shield with a brightly polished surface with the symbol of the Gerudo's on it. "Whoa cool looking shield."
"That's a mirror shield; it can reflect light and energy and remember what Westwood five said?" Hilda asked ringing excitedly.
"Yeah, we have to use the witches' magic against them!" Ash stated equipping it. "Let's go break through the rest of the temple!" he stated.
LOS LOS LOS
The group had no other choice but to back track to the Armos switch room there they discovered another mechanism and a door they hadn't noticed on the way. Ash got to work using his mirror shield to open the door. Inside was another small key which Ash was able to use to open lock door he had seen, in the room where he had dispatched three Anibus.
Hilda was staring at the wall a bit looking at who had to get up there she was soon joined by the Dragon types, Ash and Pikachu. "Ash you should go first and cast Farore's wind you can use it to teleport Goodra and Gabite up there."
"Alright," Ash replied glacing back to the wall.
"Okay you'll have to be very patient doing this but just climb as each section lines up-" BAM! Ash had launched his hook shot at the top of the moving wall and whipped up towards the top. "Or you could just cheat and do that!" she snapped.
Ash grinned at her before casting Farore's wind coming back down and warping them all to the top of the wall. Gabite ate the blade trap while Ash and Goodra disposed of the Beamos clearing the way inside was a locked door right in front of them. "And that's my musical cue." Ash stated seeing the Triforce symbol on the floor and playing Serena's lullaby.
That opened the door instantly inside was a room of fire slugs that Ash had tried to dispose of merely with Ice arrows only to find it only cooled them. "Alright then Pikachu use Thunder bolt!"
"PIIIIIKKAAAA CHUUUUUUUU!" he shouted zapping them and killing most if which. Goodra quickly dispatched the last of them using Aqua tail.
"This is weird what's with all the doors?" Ash asked. Looking at the map he quickly saw that there was no way out but going back in this room. "They're, fake! But there's gotta be a switch in here somewhere the Boss key is in that chest over there but we need to figure out how to put out the fire." Ash stated.
Pikachu sniffed the ground he inched to close to a door on the left which seemed to twitch at his presence. "Pikachu," Pikachu called getting away from it before pointing at it. Ash looked through it with his lens of truth and found that there was a switch behind it.
"Alright," Ash replied pulling out a bomb and throwing it at the door blowing it up revealing an eye switch once that was shot Ash was able to hook shot to a new block that appeared and jump over pressing the switch when he landed. Once he had the boss key the group headed up the stairs. "I've got the boss Key we should be getting close to the boss room." He said as they climbed the stairs finding himself in a strange room.
"Check out that mirror it's huge!" Hilda stated buzzing over to it.
"And look what we have over there." Ash stated as he shot a crystal switch below him with an arrow opening the door straight ahead of them. Inside the next room was a Lizalfos that roared at them and tried to swipe at them with it's dagger Ash merely rolled his eyes and pulled out the Biggoron sword as well as the Master Sword though his stance was tilted and askew the fact he had two bigger swords and two Dragon types behind him on top of that was enough to make the Lizalfos go very pale.
"EEEEEYEYYEYEEEEEEEE!" it shrieked running away as fast as it could.
"That was a girly scream." Ash stated as he placed the swords back in their sheaths.
As he entered the next room a bunch of Bubbles attacked them what was strange is that these didn't have flames. "They're white Bubbles we just deal with them like we do the others." Hilda replied.
"Right," Ash replied slicing through them and killing them instantly. He moved the mirror into place but it was blocked testing the wall finding it thin and fake Ash was able to bomb it allowing the light to stream through and hit another mirror.
Ash had to take out another Lizalfos this one more brave then is previous co-soldier as he didn't flinch under the Biggoron sword or Gabite and Goodra's presence. Ash moved the mirror and returned to the room with the large mirror having nowhere else to go forward.
"Whoa bright light," Hilda yelped as they had to cover their eyes seeing the light reflect off the mirror Ash hopped down he suddenly heard some whirring.
"WAAH!" he yelped batting away at the flying pots with the Master sword once that was done he shined a light on the sun switch once everyone else was on it and it lowered down to the front of the Colossus. "That must be the way to the boss room." Ash muttered.
"Brrr." Hilda shivered letting out a faint frightful ring. "The Desert Colossus face sure looks evil." She whimpered.
"Yup we're right the right track if you're getting vibes of evil." Ash told her.
"I know but this is different we're dealing with Witches who serve Giovanni, they're sentient the monsters we've fought in the past yes were evil as well but were mindless soldiers." Hilda argued.
"Don't worry we can't lose!" Ash stated. "But what do I do?" Ash asked he looked up at the light he was bathed in and used the mirror shield almost as if burned by it the face of the statue burned away revealing the boss room. Ash cast Farore's wind then hookshot across before finishing the spell to get Gabite and Goodra over.
They entered the room which was Dark but not completely Ash could see a few feet in front of him, and he also saw the witches dressed in Gerudo robes with bright orange hair in thick pig tails they were almost identical save for the one on the left having a blue gem incrusted Tiara and beads in her hair. "Ho Ho ho, looks like someone's hear Nastina!"
"Eh ha ha! Looks like it Brutella," Nastina chirped wickedly she had red gems and beads but wore and identical outfit.
Ash glared and pulled out his sword as Pikachu glared sparking electricity the Dragon types snarled as the two floated on their brooms. "What an outrageous brat and his pack of filthy vermin they're so bold to intrude into our temple Oh ho ho." Brutella snorted.
Nastina smirked wickedly. "Prehaps we should teach them a lesson eh, ha, ha!" the two suddenly turned to the throne in the room which seemed to become more bright, it contained an Iron Knuckle with more draconian armor with a Dragonite and a Haxorus with blank stares glaring out in front of them.
"Oh loyal minions destroy these intruders on our behalf!" the two witches jeered warping away.
The Iron Knuckle stood up getting into a fighting stance but suddenly saw its empty hands, it blanched and started to act sheepish while the two Dragon types sweat-dropped.
"You have to get your axe don't you?" Ash asked.
"Uh huh." The Iron Knuckle nodded sheepishly.
"Go get it I'll wait." Ash replied stretching. The Iron Knuckle gave him a thumbs up rushed into the other room and came back out with the Axe roaring and rushing forward Ash jumped away casting Protect on himself and charging with the Biggoron sword.
Meanwhile Gabite unleashed a Draco meteor on Haxorus and Dragonite managing to force the latter to the ground. Dragonite rushed at Goodra, with thunder punch Goodra was hit directly but she managed to tank the hit and blast Dragonite with Dragon Pulse. Ash and the Iron Knuckle fought as the four Dragons did.
"Pikachu iron tail!" Ash called.
"CHUUUUUU PIKA!" he shouted slamming into the armor causing it to fall off the two gasped something seemed to cause the two Dragons to suddenly yelped in pain and collapsed.
"Iris!" Ash called.
"Chupika!" Pikachu called.
Iris groaned shaking the cobwebs out of her head and looked up. "Huh? Ash Pikachu, where am I?!" she asked. "The last thing I remember is telling you two to-"
Suddenly Brutella appeared to the left of her scaring Iris. "Well, well, looks like she's back to normal Nastina." Brutella scoffed.
"She's just a little girl but she commands much respect, among the Gerudo and Dragon types as well Brutella." Nastina jeered.
"Maybe we should have her work for the great Giovanni a little longer ho, ho, ho!" Brutella sneered.
Nastina smiled wickedly on Iris who's eyes widened with fear. "Then we should brainwash her again! EH HA HA!"
"Leave her alone!" Ash snarled.
"Iris, run for it!" Hilda cried.
"Pika!" Pikachu called. Iris didn't waste any time but she had barely gotten off the ground before she was hit with a burst of spells with a scream she was warped away and the witches with a cruel laugh disappeared as well.
Ash was about to head out when he saw Iris Haxorus and Dragonite out cold. "Goodra, Gabite, take care of them alright?" Ash asked.
"Good/Gab!" they stated as Ash and Pikachu nodded the three rushed into the room Ash climbed up to a series of Platforms that stood a good ten feet tall in a dark room the center pillar he was on had some kind of magic ring on it.
"Alright you two show yourselves and fight!" Ash called.
"We know you're here you won't get away with what you've done to Iris!" Hilda called ringing loudly.
"PIKA!" Pikachu added getting into his fighting stance.
"Look at that stupid kid, fairy and their scrawny rat! They came to offer themselves up as sacrifices to the great Giovanni!" said the two.
Suddenly on each side of the room on a pillar where two magic circles with an insignia inside them for fire and ice the two emerged Nastina's pigtails became pillars of fire her beads and jewel glowing brightly. "With my fire I'll burn them to the bone!" Nastina snarled vigorously as she rode her broom. "EH HA HA HA!"
Brutella's beads and jewel glew a vicious bright blue her pigtails turned to frosty sparkling ice with fog wafting from them. "With my frost I'll freeze them to their souls!" she got on her broom as well floating. "OH HO HO HO!"
{Sorceress Sisters: Twinrova}
Ash got out his mirror shield read to deflect the attacks. "Ash, keep your eyes on them." Hilda called hovering by his head.
"Okay." Ash nodded in a hiss watching the two like a hawk. Trying his hardest to make sure he didn't miss a spell.
"Take this you brat!" Brutella shouted unleashing an ice beam like attack, Ash quickly turned and blocked it with the mirror shield deflecting it back at Nastina who yelped in pain when it hit her. She snarled and lunged at Ash who back-flipped away.
"She's coming back!" Hilda cried as the Fire type witch U turned on him blasting him with fire.
"WAHHA!" Ash yelped managing to block the fire attack akin to a flamethrower he redirected it but it missed Brutella.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted jumping up. "CHUUUUUUUU!" he shouted unleashing thunderbolt however the two witches took control of it and directed it back at Ash who screamed as he was electrocuted.
"See how you like it!" Nastina sneered.
"Looks like your electric attacks can't help us here." Ash muttered as Pikachu hung his head in apology. "But maybe iron tail can!" he stated getting an idea.
"BURN YOU TWITS!" Nastina screamed unleashing her attack.
"Pikachu iron Tail!" Ash called.
"CHU!" he shouted blocking the attack with difficulty he threw it at Brutella who screamed in pain. The icy witch retaliated by blasting them with an ice attack however Ash redirected that at Nastina who glared at her sister.
"Oops." She muttered. Nastina then glared back at Ash an unleashed another spell Ash was able to block it and sent it back at Brutella who returned the favor towards Nastina.
"Get the brat!" they shouted unleashing their attacks at the same time Ash deflected Nastina's while Pikachu got Brutella's and both attacks were struck back at them.
They began to blast the area forcing Ash to take cover on a further pillar till they calmed down after that they both struck with their ice beam and flamethrower-esque spells Pikachu and Ash were able to hit their respective target with them.
The two sisters flew above them spinning like they did at the start of the fight. "Okay let's get serious now Brutella!"
"Oh okay Nastina!" Brutella called.
"Nastina and Brutella's double dynamite attack!" they called spinning faster and faster until they melded revealing a much younger woman with a more risqué outfit large detached sleeves holding two broom wands glowing the same way as her pig tails. The beads were patterned red and blue while the gem had now fused into two halves making one.
"They fused!" Ash cried. The combined lady winked at him making him back away, "eeelllrrrhg,"he squicked.
The witch moved and launched a fire ball like spell that Ash quickly collected he jumped and dodged a few more spells collecting a couple more fire spells and landing the attack on her. With a cry twinrova hit the ground.
"Pikachu us thunderbolt," Ash shouted as he rushed her.
"CHUUUUUUUU!" he shouted zapping her as soon as he was done Ash was practically landing the master sword right on her in a jump attack she batted him away as she got back up and rushed passed him launching several Ice spells Ash managed to catch them and blast them back.
"Think Pikachu can deflect them back?" Ash asked.
"With them in that state probably not," Hilda replied as Ash collected a fire spell.
Ash collected another fire spell however suddenly it was blasted with an ice one negating the fire he had built up. "OH NO!" he cried as he was hit with an ice spell freezing him he broke out and fell shivering.
"Had enough?" the Witch asked.
"No way!" Ash called as he readied the Mirror shield.
Another set of fire blasts entered the shield Ash after a while had two fire spells he had to be careful of the barrage of Ice spells that were surging at him, however a fire spell came and Ash grabbed it. "Got it!" he stated shooting it back at Twinrova who screamed falling down stunned.
"PIKA! PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA CHUU!" Pikachu shouted launching with the same electric attack as the Shadow temple and slamming into her sending her towards Ash as he used a Spin attack with the Biggoron sword knocking her back.
Twinrova growled flying above them launching a barrage of spells Ash with a bit of acrobatics managed to get three Ice spells when she finally calmed down he was able to shoot it off.
Pikachu landed several iron tails once he was done that, he backed off allowing Ash to strike with a Jump attack with the Biggoron sword then a combo from the master sword was in a heap of fire was sent sprawling back.
"Stop, drop, roll," Ash cried as he managed to put out the fire on him he was a little singed and burnt but he could see that Twinrova was faltering.
"Ash incoming," Hilda yelled ringing Ash suddenly saw a large amount of Fire spells coming at him he dodged them all and gathered up a bunch of ice ones Pikachu had managed to get to his side.
"We're gonna charge them at the same time you with that attack me with the Biggoron sword kay buddy?" Ash asked in a low voice.
"Pika," Pikachu, whispered nodding.
"Take this!" Ash called blasting her with the ice spells he collected stunning her he quickly rushed with Pikachu and the two attacks clashed at the same time Hilda winced as a bright light hit the room. "YEEEAARRRH!" Ash called as he hit the center pillar.
"Chuuuu!" Pikachu muttered dazed but watched with the others as Twinrova split apart.
"Shoot what imps this time we'll get serious right Brutella?" Nastina asked glaring at Ash and Pikachu. Unbeknownst to her she was becoming pale and see-through, as was her sister and the two were floating.
"Hey Nastina what's that floating over your head?" Brutella asked noticing a ring above her sister's head.
Nastina looked up at it then at her sister. "I don't know but you've got one to Brutella."
"Uhhh those are halos." Hilda deadpanned.
"Halos?" the two asked looking up into the light than at each other. A pregnant silence filled the room before.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"But I'm only four hundred years old!" Nastina cried waterfall tears streaming down her face.
"And I'm only three-hundred and eighty!" Brutella cried with the same expression and was promptly hit by her sister.
"We're twins don't and try and lie about your age!" Nastina snarled. "You must have gone Senile!"
Brutella gasped. "Se…SENILE!? Is that how you treat your older sister?!"
A tic mark appeared on Nastina's head with that rebut. "WE'RE TWINS HOW CAN YOU BE OLDER?!" she roared. "How can you be so ungrateful!"
"You're heartless!" Brutella snapped hitting Nastina.
"You're ungrateful!" Nastina snapped hitting her back.
"This is weird." Ash muttered watching them.
"What the fact they're arguing and concentrating more on that than the blaring fact they're about to die?" Hilda deadpanned annoyed and confused by the whole argument going on in front of them.
"Well, yeah but don't you usually associate halos and light with heaven?" Ash asked.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Hilda replied.
"Well, these two just tried to kill us, cursed the temple and brainwashed Iris and her Pokémon. On top of that they serve Giovanni. That alone is all the bad stuff they've done we know about." Ash told her listing the mentioned things on his fingers. "I'd bet every last rupee I have on the fact they've done more wicked stuff."
"You're right…." Hilda muttered listening to him intently before turning a bright red and swiftly facing the two witches. "You two should be going to hell!"
The sisters thought about this for a few seconds before Balanching. "KIIIYAAA you're right!" they stated together. In the ground two holes opened up once with ice the other with fire Nastina and Brutella upside down above their two opposing elements were unceremoniously dumped by the light into the holes. "WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" they cried falling but not before popping out to leer at Ash. "WE'LL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU!" they snapped quickly disappearing back into the holes as everything went dark.
"We're gonna need therapy for that one." Hilda huffed.
Ash sighed slumping down, "please tell me that makes six." He saw the light and entered it floating in the crystal like portal that took him to the chamber of sages.
Rising from the platform for spirit came Iris with Haxorus and Dragonite beside her. "Let me thank you." she said gratefully before chuckling. "A little kid has become quite the trainer and swordsman in seven years."
"Thanks." Ash happily replied before noticing her head fall.
"By the way…I really messed up…." Iris sighed. "I was brainwashed by those old witches and used by Giovanni to do his evil will. I've done so many horrible wicked things. But isn't if funny?" she said brightening up. "That someone like me would turn out to be the sage of spirit?"
Ash nodded in agreement. "Destiny is weird like that I never expected to be the Hero of Time."
"Well, now I'm going to fight them." Iris fist pumped. "As one of the six sages, I'll make them all pay for what they did to me!" she calmed down and smiled. "Kid…no Ash the Hero of Time I can't keep the promise I made back then, but I can give you this badge it looks like you need that more than what I offered take it!" she stated holding out her hands upward.
Falling from above Ash was an orange pointed egg shaped badge with two light orange swirls circling each other with a s shaped line of darker orange in the middle. Ash grabbed it and held it up between his forefinger and thumb.
Ash got the spirit badge Iris awakens as the final sage and adds her power to Ash's the time for the final battle is upon us!
"You're certainly not a little kid anymore! I feel bad I didn't keep the promise I made back then…"
LOS LOS LOS
Ash found himself floating when he suddenly came face to face with Rowan. "Ash the hero..finally all of us six sages have been awakened, the Time for the final show down with the King of Evil. Before that though once you are ready you should go meet the one who is waiting for you….the one who is waiting for you at the temple of time…" he said disappearing as the light surrounding faded.
"Does he mean…Serena?"
I've been waiting a whole year to write the argument Brutella and Nastina had so only two more chapters or even one to go and this story will be over! It always kind of puzzled me that Kotake and Koume went to heaven when they were bad guys but….that's just me…
