Rayquaza and Zekrom were staying low and trying to sneak around. They probably only had two hours of daylight left, and were arguing if they should move during night or not.
"If we go in the night, it would give us the stealth approach." Rayquaza said to the depressed Zekrom.
"Yeah. But what if we were to get caught at night? We should just find somewhere to camp…" Zekrom moaned. Rayquaza sighed.
"But-"he tried to argue.
"No! No buts! I just watched my friend die in front of me and if it wasn't for him, I would be dead right now! I just broke up with Reshiram and told her I hated her! We are probably the most wanted people on the planet right now! Can this day get any worse!?" Zekrom complained. Rayquaza sighed.
"Ok, we have been through a lot. We can find somewhere to camp, just calm down." Rayquaza told him. Zekrom walked ahead for a few seconds, only for a small tremor to occur. Zekrom turned back.
"Is it just me or was that tremor very familiar?" Zekrom asked the former sky high pokemon.
Out of nowhere, a bright light engulfed the two as they were teleported away.
Zekrom and Rayquaza eyes were suffering from the flash, but once they adjusted they saw where they were.
Valhonds realm. Speaking of the devil, he was staring right down upon them.
"YOU!" Zekrom hissed at the deity whilst Rayquaza stayed calm.
"That's a rather rude way to say hello." He merely said, amused almost.
"YOU TURNED LATIOS INTO A MONST-"Zekrom shouted.
"Computer." Rayquaza added in, correcting Zekrom.
"-IN TO A COMPUTER! WHY!"
"Just like he said to you, to watch and observe what you all did. And he did a fantastic job at it" Valhond stated.
"Why are we here? You here to tell us we are computers as well?" Rayquaza snapped.
Valhond chuckled.
…. Which eventually evolved into a maniac's laugh, scaring both Zekrom and Rayquaza.
"Hahaha… No. You two are normal living beings. Latios was simply my tool and nothing else, thinking he could develop true emotions!" Valhond cackled. Zekrom was gritting his teeth whilst Rayquaza just clenched his fist.
"Yet…" Valhond said softly.
"He proved me wrong. Somehow, he developed his own will. Since my reign as Admin began, I had never seen anything like it before… So a have an offer in place…" Valhond said, with Zekrom and Rayquaza genially interested.
"What's the catch?" Rayquaza asked.
"Listen to my story… and then we will work a deal out for your friend's resurrection!" Valhond told the two. They were both surprised by what was happening. They nodded at each other. Valhond chuckled.
"Very well. When I have to select a new author, I look at three things. I will be using Spectre and Oliver as examples." Valhond started.
"The first thing is the theme/plot they wish to design. The theme and the plot are critical for a good story. Spectre created a fun, crazy, chaotic theme but his plot was all over the show. Oliver created an apocalyptic theme and his plot is simple, he is boss, you do as said or die." Valhond explained with Rayquaza and Zekrom heavily listening.
None of the legends and prisoners were in the mood to interact with one another after they saw what happened to Latios. Hell they don't even know if Zekrom is alive.
Mew hadn't stopped crying after watching Latios get decapitated. It was getting on the guards nerve.
"Oi! Brat, shut up and quit yer crying before I make yah!" the guard in his late 30's shouted, terrifying Mew even more.
"Hey asswipe! Pick on someone your own size!" Deoxys hissed at him. Sure, he can be annoying, sadistic, irritating, and sarcastic all the freaking time. But he had a soft spot for Mew. Mainly cause he enjoys watching her annoy the shit out Mewtwo.
The guard snorted at Deoxys and Giratina's cell as he went and sat down and then started smirking
"Guess who's coming!" he whistled.
Within a flash, all the females were in the centre, tied up and freaking out.
"KYOGRE!" both Groudon and Hayden yelled, earning a glare from one another.
"GIRATINA! HELP!" Arceus screamed as Giratina rushed up to his prison cell bars and shook at them furiously.
Oliver and Latias walked down the stairs to the room, with Latias smiling away happily at all the girls. Closely behind them was a bloody Reshiram, still under Oliver's control.
"Hello Ladies!" Oliver chirped. Celebi was growling away at him, while Mew who was next to her was crying even more. Arceus was starting to breathe heavily in panic. Giratina was mouthing the words 'stay calm'.
"Right, I have your jobs for the wedding! Here is your roles!" Latias said pulling out a list.
"Arceus. You are my maid of honour!"
"My bridesmaids are going to be Kyogre, Reshiram over here and Moon!" Latias continued on.
"Celebi, you're going to be a junior bridesmaid and Mew, you're the flower girl!" Latias said, putting away her list. "I can't believe later tonight I'm going to be a married women!" Latias stated.
"The wedding is tonight!?" Arceus yelled in shock.
"Yup! What me and Olly have is true love!" Latias told everyone.
"Ladies. Go get changed into your dresses!" Oliver hissed, as his powers grew stronger, he had managed to control even Arceus as they all got up and walked to get changed.
"What is the second thing in picking a new Author?" Zekrom asked.
"Once the prodigy proves he or she has created a stable and entertaining theme. They then must move on to the 2nd thing, Characters. How many will you have? What will they look like? What do they do? And so on…" Valhond said. "Both Spectre and Oliver/Maxwell gave the ideas of Pokemon characters but had different ideals. Spectre, wanted to have fun with them, whilst Oliver wanted a no nonsense version of them. You fight and battle that was it, no emotions or passion."
"And what is the 3rd thing?" Rayquaza asked this time. Valhond began to laugh.
"…Love." He said.
"What!" the two former dragons said blankly.
"Uh, Spectre never mentioned he had someone like that…" Rayquaza said awkwardly.
"Correct, because he didn't. But Oliver/Maxwell did. Kelly. He saw her as advantage to gain access to Love, but it was one sided love…" Valhond explained. "There is two types of love; Passion and romance."
"Ok… You lost me now." Zekrom said.
"I know what really happened. How Kelly gave Spectre Oliver's notes. Under normal circumstances, I would have expelled the two. But it was Spectre's passion and love for writing that gave him the ultimate victory. I never mentioned this to them and lied saying I looked at test results. Oliver failed the love section, leaving only Spectre to become author." Valhond finished.
"So if he failed, why did you make him temporary author?" Rayquaza shouted.
"To teach Spectre a lesson. He became destructive, I had to teach him to know his place and not mess with other Author's stories. Thus putting in his rival as the temporary author seemed logical, however, I made a mistake…" Valhond told the two, with both of them flinching.
"You see with him as temporary author, he didn't gain the full package but he gain mind control, creating things from nothing etc. He used mind control to make the female eon Pokemon love him, and if they were to get married…"
"Your… not saying!" Zekrom gasped in horror, while Rayquaza looked blank look.
"They would be man and wife, the ultimate bond. It would tick the box for the love section, thus making him suitable to be a permanent author. I did see this coming…" Valhond admitted.
"Can't you do anything!?" Rayquaza said blandly. Valhond chuckled once again.
"Hehehe. If I was to do that, were would all the fun be… What I can tell you is looking into the future, they are set to become man and wife at 7:30 PM tonight. After that is a blur…"
Rayquaza and Zekrom looked at each other.
"And Latios?" they both asked.
"If you were to somehow stop Maxwell, I will resurrect your friend to be fully alive and how he was 13 years a-"Valhond started to only be interrupted.
"No! I want the Latios I know in the present day and age! Even if you bring him back as a computer!" Zekrom hissed. Rayquaza stood by his side and nodded in agreement.
"Very well then… good Luck Rayquaza and Zekrom." Valhond said.
They were ready to be teleported away until…
"One last thing. An old friend is waiting for you. And he is very, very mad." Valhond said before teleporting them back to earth.
"Men…" Oliver ominously.
"I swear! IF YOU TOUCH ANY OF THEM!" Giratina roared at Oliver.
"Shut up!" Oliver yelled at him. "I'm getting married. I have no need to touch them!" Oliver retaliated. Giratina laid back slightly.
"Ahem. The preacher will be Nohail. My groomsman are going to be Deoxys, Giratina and Hayden. Kimi, you'll be the ring bearer and my best man…" Oliver hissed at the end as he turned to Spectre. "Will be you spectre…" he said ominously. He snapped his fingers as everyone… BUT Spectre eyes turned into a pinkie red, signalling they were under his control. Everyone but Spectre and Oliver teleport to who knows where.
"And what about me? Why not me?" Spectre asked with a smirk. "You failed this the first time! Why do you think it will work this time?" he then spat.
"I'll never know if I don't try. Besides, once I'm married, it's the ultimate bond!" Oliver cackled, making Spectre roll his eyes.
"No. I want you to be there to see me achieve what I show of eons ago! I place you under the spell everyone else is under, the only difference, you can see everything and you will have no willpower to be able to stop it!" Oliver shouted at Spectre.
"You'll never get away with this! Rayquaza and Zekrom will stop you!" Spectre hissed. Oliver only laughed, sending a shiver down Spectre's spine.
"Oh… those two, they are invited. Don't worry! I have something planned for them… Besides! I still have my ace up my sleeve!" Oliver chanted before clicking his fingers, forcing Spectres body to do anything he wanted, but he could still see.
"Come Spectre! Only an hour and a bit left till the wedding! We have tuxes to try on and a storm is brewing! Let's get a move on!" Oliver announced, as he and the will less Spectre walked out of the prison.
Rayquaza and Zekrom found themselves back in the house. It had been trashed…
Windows broken, technology stolen, curtains ripped down, chairs and tables destroyed.
"Well, look at this shit… At least I think we are a little further than before…" Rayquaza stated picking up a broken leg chair and throwing it on the ground.
"6:20 PM… Only an hour and 10 minutes until they get married. And we don't even know where!" Zekrom started only to get a glare from Rayquaza.
Zekrom decided to wander around and see what else had happened to the house, whilst Rayquaza looked for anything of value.
Rayquaza was looking around the dining area and found something of interest. Then an idea spawned in his head! It was a long shot but it could work… Zekrom saw that Rayquaza had thought of something.
"Kyogre's handbag? Wouldn't anything that is actually worth something already be gone?" Zekrom asked.
"Yes! Exactly! Maybe, just maybe…" Rayquaza blurted, scavenging through her handbag.
"Ok, you lost me… spill what's on your mind." Zekrom asked.
"You remember Hayden? The guy that Kyogre was so desperate to have inside of her?" Rayquaza joked.
"When you put it like that…" Zekrom said kind of disturbed.
"Bingo!" Rayquaza said pulling out a scrunched up piece of paper. When Rayquaza flattened it out, it had a phone number and an address.
"32a Wellbrook Street. That's a 30 minute walk from here…" Rayquaza muttered to himself, which was getting on Zekroms nerve.
"OK! What is up!" Zekrom shouted.
"Fine. When I saw Hayden pick up Kyogre for her date, he had a corvette stingray!" Rayquaza explained.
"So?"
"That thing has a V8 engine! It would get us there in no time!" Rayquaza stated.
"One fault in your grand plan…" Zekrom muttered.
"What?"
"WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FUCK THEY ARE!" he yelled at Ray. He sweat drop.
"Well, uh… We could attack some humans and see what the-"Rayquaza started only to hear some sounds.
"Shh! Shh. Listen, outside." Rayquaza whispered as he and Zekrom ducked down out of sight.
Two humans with guns walked in and started to look around.
"I swear I heard something inside." One of them said.
"Nah man. It was just your mind." The other said back to him. "Come on! We'll be late!"
"For what?"
"King Oliver's wedding with lady Latias! God, sometimes, I swear you under a rock!" he joked. Rayquaza jumped out of hiding and shot both of them, killing the oblivious one and injuring the one that was talking about the wedding.
"Only going to ask once! Where. Is. The. Wedding!" Rayquaza demanded.
"Ple-please don't ki-kill me!" the brainwashed human pleaded.
"Then answer my question… WHERE!"
"AH! At some church near the central city water front, about half an hour north from here!" the human admitted. Rayquaza looked over to Zekrom, who came out of hiding.
"We have to go now! Hayden's place is along the way! LET'S GO!" Rayquaza shouted as he and Zekrom broke into a sprint. The two notice that there were pitch black storm clouds outside.
The rain started to pour as did the claps of thunder and the flashes of lightning.
A solid 25 minute run and then were at Hayden's place.
The front door was locked… Rayquaza looked over to Zekrom.
"Both Latias and Reshiram would disapprove of us breaking and entering wouldn't they?" he joked.
"Hey, YOLO. Especially seeming a psychopath is about to become author!" Zekrom shouted before ramming into the door, forcing it open. The move into the connecting garage to find just what they were looking for.
Hayden's blue Corvette stingray 2014 model.
"So? Am I driving or you?" Rayquaza asked.
"Your plan… go right ahead. Don't get carried away, we have only 40 minutes left!" Zekrom said before jumping in the passenger's seat as Rayquaza sat in the drivers.
"Fast, shiny, nearly perfect condition car plus a race against time. Nice combo!" Rayquaza smirked as the garage door lifted.
(Time: 7:00PM. 30 minutes till deadline)
All the legends were in either a tux or a dress. The males simply had a black tux with a white under shirt whilst the girls all had a rosy pink dresses. Nohail was in some sort of white robes and Oliver has giving glares to his watch. On the side of each bench, was a metal torch, like you would find in medieval video game.
The flames inside was covered up just to just a glow. Everyone was in position. He could hear the rain crashing down on the roof as it was just getting worse. The music playing the back ground dimmed down as everyone stood up. Latias in a beautiful white wedding dress walked down the aisle. She stood opposite of Oliver. Nohail cleared his voice.
"Dearly beloved. We gather here today for the wedding of Oliver stanfode and Latias Eon." Nohail announced.
Do do do dooooo
Do do do Dooooo
The road was straight and with no destruction it was a clear path. The rain worsening by the second as lighting flashed here and there.
"We might make i-"Zekrom scoffed until Rayquaza swerved the car on its side as the both stared in horror.
Do do do dooooo
"N-no… w-we saw… you…" Zekrom muttered as Rayquaza breathed heavier.
There was a large gash on the top left of his head as there was dry blood everywhere on his face, he had black bags under his eyes, his once white blonde hair was now stained with blood and mud.
His black shirt was ripped apart and his jeans were ripped up on the knees. The right side of his mouth area on his face was burnt off, even with his mouth shut, you could see his teeth and gumline through the hole. He had another burn on his hand with a red scarf wrapped around it.
A lightning flash illuminated the sky, as his horrifying image became easy to see.
Ahhh, Ahhhh!
Darkrai was alive… and he was standing in their way…
(Time: 7:05PM. 25 minutes till deadline)
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
"Now remember, everyone. These two will be bonded together within life and death! Too care for each other within the others darkest moments!" Nohail babbled on.
"Hurry up and get on with it you fool!" Oliver hissed in his mind. He looked at Spectre, who was smiling, but could see in his eyes that he was cursing away at him.
Oliver snorted and continued to listen to Nohail.
"Now it is time to exchange vows!" Nohail stated.
Staring the Corvette stingray down, was Darkrai, who was somehow still alive.
"Hello Rayquaza. Zekrom!" Darkrai hissed in hatred.
"You're... alive? Rayquaza asked in shock thinking his eyes are playing tricks on him.
"YOU LOT LEFT ME FOR DEAD! YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER LOOKING! IS THAT WHAT I MEAN TO YOU GUYS?" Darkrai roared as he pulled out a hand gun and started to shoot.
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
It was a fright at first and Rayquaza and Zekrom both jumped at the sound of gunfire. Rayquaza smashed the acceleration pedal and speed forwards.
They hit Darkrai…
… Who slide along the top and was hanging on god knows what on the roof…
He tried to aim the gun on top of the roof, but the car hit a bump, making Darkrai dropped the gun.
He just growled and tried to cling on to the door handle to open the door. He saw a post coming up and it was big enough to take out the door if it opened.
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life.
Using all his energy, he opened the door, which was later ripped off the car by the pole. It was on Zekroms side of the car, Darkrai heard hear him scream.
They were coming up to the hill going downwards.
If you went off it, a 60 meter drop into water.
In the rush of things, both Zekrom and Rayquaza didn't do up their seat belts. Darkrai leaned off the top and grabbed Zekrom by the collar and threw him out of the car as it was still going. Rayquaza hit the brakes, sending Darkrai flying off the car as he looked back at Zekrom in concern. He was clutching his shoulder but started shouting.
"DRIVE! DRIVE! DRIVE!" he shouted. Rayquaza started to speed again, Darkrai got back up and jumped on again barely hanging on.
Do do do dooooo
Do do do Dooooo
Do do do dooooo
Ahhh, Ahhhh!
(Time: 7:15PM. 15 minutes till deadline)
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
"Gotta! Shake him OFF!" Rayquaza shouted, as she moved the car side to side, attempting to shake Darkrai off. But it was no use as the process slowed down the car, giving Darkrai a chance to jump in the car.
He did just that and with momentum on his side, he punched Rayquaza right on the side of the face. He then drabbed his hair and slammed his head on the steering wheel.
"DO YOU SEE MY FACE RAYQUAZA!? HUH!?" Darkrai roared, pointing at the burnt side.
Rayquaza elbow was free. He used it and slammed it under Darkrai's chin as he let go.
He grabbed the seatbelt, buckled it in and pulled on it as hard as he could, trapping Darkrai's hands by his sides.
Rayquaza looked to the side.
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
It was a 60 meter drop into water, but it was a faster way down as it turns out that is the water front as he could see the church in the distance. He did a U-turn and started to drive faster at the corner going down. Darkrai realised what he was doing.
"Are you crazy!? You'll kill us both!" he shouted as he tried to escape the car.
"Love can make you do some crazy things!" Rayquaza said quietly as he sped even more, going 150K's an hour at a corner with a 60 meter drop.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
The two of them started to scream.
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
They made the impact with the barrier protecting the edge as the car drove off the side and fell down to its watery grave.
Rayquaza opened his door and jumped out. Darkrai had little time as he to undo his seat belt.
Rayquaza managed to dive a little further away from Darkrai and the car he re-emerged from the water and saw a horrifying event.
The car landed on top of Darkrai. He wanted to check if he was ok but time was against him…
(Time: 7:20PM. 10 minutes till deadline)
The swim was probably a five minute one, so he had no time to waste. The storm had passed slightly so the conditions weren't too bad. He swam as far as he could, giving glances back every so often to check if Darkrai had floated back up to the surface or something.
No sign of him.
As Rayquaza got out of the water and broke into a sprint towards the church, Darkrai re-emerged, gasping for air. He started to swim towards land.
(Time: 7:25PM. 5 minutes till deadline)
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
"Now!" Nohail shouted. "Latias. Do you take Oliver stanfode as your beloved husband?" he asked.
"I do." Latias said with a forced smile.
"And Oliver. Do you take Latias Eon as your beloved wife?" he asked once more but to Oliver this time.
"I do." He said smiling, knowing there only a few minutes.
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
"Now! Does anyone in the crowd have a reason on why these two, should not be bound together in harmony and matrimony. Speak now! Or these two shall be known as husband and wife!"
Nobody said anything, as Oliver was grinning wickedly. 3 minutes left.
"Then! I pronounce you man and wi-"Nohail started, only to be stopped by the church doors making a large slamming sound.
Panting at the entrance was Rayquaza, with a look that could kill.
"Am I late for the wedding?" Rayquaza smirked.
Latias eyes shot open as she grabbed the sides of her head and started to thrash around from the sharp pain in her head. Rayquaza jaw dropped.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER!?" he yelled walking closer. Oliver was starting to look nervous.
"Stay back! Nohail, finish the wedding!" Oliver yelled.
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me!
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
"We should at least hear his reason first." Nohail stated. Oliver started to growl.
"Latias! It's me Rayquaza! You remember me don't you?" Rayquaza begged, hoping for an answer. Latias just started to scream from the pain that was being caused by his voice.
"Latias! He is a nobody! We're getting married. Remember?" Oliver shouted. Latias dropped on to her knees as it settled down.
"Let her pick who she wants to be with!" Rayquaza yelled. Oliver was stunned, but smirked in agreement.
"Fine" he merely said. "You first though…"
"Latias, please wake up! 13 years ago, I don't EVER regret the day Arceus made me go to help you in your time of need. Your strong than him! Maybe even stronger than me! Our bond is nothing compared to his powers! Please! Snap out of it!" Rayquaza begged as Latias screamed even louder.
"Latias dear. This is our wedding and this is your jealous ex-boyfriend." Oliver smirked as he zapped Latias with some pink aura cloud. She then got up and looked at Rayquaza
"Rayquaza? I TOLD YOU TO NEVER COME NEAR ME!" she screamed in hatred. "AND NOW! Yo-you rui-ruin my perfect day…" Latias wept. Oliver nodded at the crowd as two guards came and grabbed him by the arms. They were about to chuck him out until Oliver stopped them.
"No. I want him to watch…" he muttered. "Nohail shall we continue?" he asked as Nohail nodded his head.
"As I was saying, I now pronounce man and wif-"Nohail continued on only to be interrupted again. This time someone spear tackled Rayquaza from behind, but due to the speed and momentum, he continued rolling forwards.
"DARKRAI!?" Oliver shouted.
"You fall in shark infested waters and a car drops on top of you! Aren't you meant to be the injury magnet or something!?" Rayquaza spat as both he and Rayquaza got up and off the ground. Darkrai was fuming as he grabbed one of the metal torch and threw it at Rayquaza who dodge out of the way and rolled on to the ground. The dome protecting the flame smashed as a banner on the wall started to catch on fire.
Darkrai sprinted over and placed his hands on Rayquaza's neck and started to strangle him.
Zekrom had just arrived at the church and gasped in horror.
"THIS IS FOR LEAVING ME OUT THERE!" Darkrai shouted as he pressed harder on his neck.
"Latia-latias… I lo-love you..." Rayquaza muttered with the last of his breathe, it was loud enough to hear. The sharp pain in her mind returned but her body froze up as her eyes shut.
Everything was silent. She was alone… in this open blank plain…
"What's happening…?" She questioned in her mind. "Today, went horrible! I was meant to get married…" she whimpered in her head
"But you were getting married to the wrong person" a voice inside her mind said.
"But I love Oliver!"
"No you don't! Your stronger than him, you know it deep down." The voice shouted.
"Who are you?" Latias demanded. She was shocked at what happened next.
"I am you!" Latias in her normal clothing said to the one in a wedding dress.
"But I'm me!"
"Yes, you are. Let me show you something…" the normal dressed Latias said. Images of her and Rayquaza started to appear. From the time Rayquaza was forced to help her all the way up to when we was teleported away with Spectre.
"You know who he is! What he means to you!" Latias said to the one in the wedding dress.
"So snap out of it!"
Latias regained control of herself as her eyes returned to normal. She turned her head to see Darkrai strangling Rayquaza. She had to react quickly. She grabbed one of the vases with flowers in them and hit Darkrai on the side of the head, flinging him back. She then kicked him into a nearby closet and locked the door before he could get up.
She started to cry as she dived into Rayquaza chest who was gasping for air.
"Rayie…" she said crying.
"(Gasp) Lati(Gasp)as?" he panted.
"NO! NO!" Oliver screamed as the clock hit 7:45.
"YEAH! WE DID IT!" Zekrom celebrated as everyone in the church began to regain conscious.
"What… happened?" Arceus asked as Giratina went to her side.
"NO! MY POWER! MY CONTROL!" Oliver yelled. Spectre went and punched him in the back of his head.
"Uh… guys…" Hayden said, backing up a bit.
"What?" Everyone asked as he pointed up. Everyone paled.
The torch that Darkrai threw had set the banner on fire which led to about 12 sets of electric lights and they were sizzling away and were about to explo-
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Ahhh, Ahhhh!
BOOOOOOM.
Right on cue, the lights exploded, setting the entire building on fire in places as the place was starting to also collapse. The door containing Darkrai had got blown off its hinges, as wooden debris was scattered inside.
Everyone was rushing outside as Zekrom was directing everyone. Latias and Rayquaza held hands as they ran to the exit.
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
BANG!
Rayquaza felt a sharp pain in the back of his calf as he collapsed to the ground. He had been shot as he saw Oliver with a gun, who was still recovering from being hit in the back of the head.
"RAYIE!" Latias screamed. One of the beams that was holding the roof broke off and started to fall. Rayquaza being on the ground saw this and pushed Latias away as it fell on to the ground, separating him and Latias.
"NO! No!" she whaled.
Zekrom came along and grabbed her from behind and restrained her as he tried to pull her outside.
"ZEKROM! LET GO OF ME!" she screamed and cried at the same. Zekrom had a few tears in his eyes as well.
"Zekrom?" Rayquaza asked. "Look after her for me please?" he asked. He gave a soft nod as he lifted the thrashing Latias out.
"RAYIE! RAYQUAZA! RAYIIIEEEE!" she screamed.
Out of the debris, came Darkrai who was clutching his head…
"Holy shit…" he swore and then looked up in fear as he saw the building was on fire. He stared awe.
"RAYIIIEEEE!" a girl screamed.
"Latias?" Darkrai muttered. He then saw Oliver stand up and walked over to someone. Darkrai ducked down and listened in.
"You lost…" Rayquaza spat.
"I can I always try again…" he sneered at him.
"Yet there will always be someone to stop you!" Rayquaza yelled.
"I'm going to kill you Rayquaza! Any last words?" he asked re aiming the gun at Rayquaza's face.
He was going to kill… Rayquaza?
Something snapped in Darkrai's brain.
"He is going to kill Rayquaza? He, He, He, He, He is going to kill Rayquaza! HE IS GOING TO KILL RAYQUAZA! NO! NO! NO! NO HE IS NOT! If anyone is going to kill RAYQUAZA IT'S GOING TO BE ME!" he screamed in his mind as he grabbed a piece of wood and sprinted over to the two, ready to swing.
Latias was still trying to get out of Zekroms grip as he dragged her out of the burning building. All the legends and humans were standing outside, gasping for fresh air.
"RAYQUAZA! ZEKROM, LET ME HELP HI-"Latias screamed until.
BANG!
The sound of the shot came to Zekroms surprise as he fell over, letting go of Latias. He landed on his back as Reshiram rushed to his side as Latias was on her hands and knees, looking at the burning building. Giratina walked forwards.
"Latias?" Giratina said, putting his hand on her shoulder only for her to scream and slap the hand away as she inched away from him.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she hissed at him as streams of hot tears ran down her face…
"H-he c-can't b-be go-gone… No! No! No! No! No!" she cried over and over again.
Giratina backed away and returned to Arceus side.
Rayquaza had his eyes clenched shut as he heard the gun off, only to feel… nothing?
Rayquaza opened up his eyes to see Oliver fighting with Darkrai. Oliver had dropped his gun. Darkrai sucker punched him under the chin and then hit him in the stomach as he fell to the ground. Darkrai swooped in and grabbed the gun and shot Oliver with every bullet in the gun, killing him after the 5 bullet.
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
"You shouldn't have cheated last time! Hmph! I'll be seeing you in hell bitch!" Darkrai swore as he chucked the gun on the ground. He turned his attention to Rayquaza as he had a greasy smile on his face.
Rayquaza clenched his shut again, waiting for the embodiment of Nightmares to kill him…
… Instead he felt Darkrai picking him up as he made Rayquaza place his arm around his neck.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Rayquaza asked stunned by Darkrai's change in attitude towards him.
"As much as I want to kill you, I can't stand to see Latias go into depression again! Let's go!" he said.
Kyogre was crying into Hayden's chest as he rubbed her back telling her it's going to be alright. Groudon was next to them, on his knees with a pale look.
"He… is really… gone?" he blurted out. Kyogre, with makeup all over her face gave a shaky nod. Moon came over and condoled Groudon and then cried into his chest.
"Is this my fault?" Spectre muttered to himself.
"No. It was Oliver's!" Nohail told him. Spectre just looked into the ground.
"Reshiram…" Zekrom said with a sad face.
"They all know… don't they?" Reshiram whimpered.
"You can't remember what you did? Can you?" Zekrom said casually. Reshiram gave him a puzzled look. "You killed Latios right in front of me…"
Reshiram gasped and collapsed to the ground and started to cry as Zekrom pulled her closer to cuddle in support.
"What happened?" Mew asked innocently to Deoxys.
He didn't respond.
And for the first time in his life, he found no smartarse comment to counter, absolute no confidence in him and felt like crying.
Rayquaza, the first Pokemon he ever fought and hell, the first thing he interacted with, was just killed.
"Rayquaza is gone…" he muttered.
"HE CAN'T BE! HE JUST CAN'T!" Latias screamed., with tears flowing, creating a puddle in ground.
"Gone? What do you mean? Where did he go?" Mew asked again. Nobody knew how to explain it to her.
"Rayquaza was killed Mew" Giratina said straight forward.
"No he is not." Mew said confused.
"GOD! CAN'T YOU GET IT THOUGH YOUR THICK HEAD!" Celebi screamed at the girl, scaring her.
"But… Rayquaza and Darkrai are coming this way now!" Mew said, pointing to the entrance. Everyone looked thinking Mew was just playing around.
But it was the truth.
The demented looking Darkrai was helping Rayquaza out of the building. They had to move fast though as the entrance was starting to collapse.
"Can you (cough) go any faster?!" Rayquaza shouted in Darkrai's ear.
"Oh I'm sorry! You know? I could always drop you off here and save my own ass!" he hissed back.
"On second thought!" Rayquaza reconsidered his options.
"That's what I thought…" he grumbled. They both saw the entrance collapsing
"On three! Jump!" Darkrai yelled.
"THREE!"
"TWO!"
"ONE! JUMP!" Darkrai yelled as the used the last of their energy to jump out of the building, just in the nick of time as the building collapsed completely. The two were on their backs now.
I need a Hero!
"So? Now what…" Rayquaza asked as he heard everyone rushing over.
"Eh. Instead of killing you, I'll just give you nightmares for the next 2 months, how does that sound?" Darkrai said.
"Deal!" Rayquaza agreed and then felt someone jump on him. It was Latias and she was kissing him passionately. She let go after a few seconds
"I… thought I lost you…" she whimpered. He smirked.
"You should be thanking Darkrai over here. He is the real hero." Rayquaza chuckled. Everyone looked at the demented body of Darkrai.
"Darkrai! How did you survive the sharks though!?" Kyogre asked astounded, as Hayden listened in.
"Simple. I played dead!" Darkrai admitted.
"How did you know to do that though?" Hayden, the shark expert asked this time.
"Duh. Learnt it from Mythbusters!" he said sassily. Everyone laughed at him. A green aura appeared around Darkrai and around Rayquaza's leg. After a few seconds, there injuries were completely gone. Darkrai undid the scarf around his hand to see his skin completely smooth as he then touched his face to find it was healed to. The bullet wound on Rayquaza's leg was gone.
"SPECTRE… WITH OLIVER DEAD… YOU ARE NOW THE AUTHOR AGAIN…" A Voice projected which was Valhonds. Spectre felt a surge of power go through his veins as he reclaimed all his powers.
"USE IT TOO GOOD USE… AND THE OTHER PART OF OUR DEAL ZEKROM AND RAYQUAZA"
A small light flashed as Latios appeared.
"What… happened?" Latios gasped as he placed his hand on his neck as all he could remember Reshiram rushing at him screaming.
"Brother!" Latias cried rushing over to Latios and hugging him. "We did it! We won! Spectre is the author again!"
Reshiram was nervous. Zekrom was beside her.
"You two are going to talk to each other eventually…" he muttered. She sighed and wandered over.
The two looked eye to eye.
"So…" she merely said. He smiled softly.
"It might sound weird, but I forgive you! You weren't you." Latios said to Reshiram stunning her. She also joined Latias in hugging him. Reshiram chuckled.
"Rayquaza…" Arceus said to him, pulling him aside. "I'm changing the laws now. About you know what…" she said to him as he put his hand in his pocket and found that in all the chaos, he still had the ring.
"Go too her… that's an order…" she joked.
"Latias, can you come here please?" Rayquaza requested. Arceus whispered in Giratina's ear and did a farmers whistle and get everyone's attention.
"Thanks Giratina… everyone. What a three months it's been! We have some new friends!" Rayquaza said pointing at Hayden, Kimi and Moon. "Rivalries have been put aside for now…" he said regarding Groudon and Kyogre. "Secrets may have been revealed but so what!" Rayquaza said, with Latios and Reshiram looking away in embarrassment. "Now what I'm really getting to here…" Rayquaza muttered as he looked into Latias eyes.
"The day I went to go help you I probably would regard as the best day of my life. I nearly lost you that day and I nearly lost you today… but our bond was stronger than any author powers. No offence Spectre." Rayquaza spoke.
"None taken." Spectre replied.
"I got the word go from Arceus herself and I don't want to ever lose you again!" Rayquaza said. He stalled and got down on one knee, shocking everyone.
"Latias? Will you marry me?" he asked holding out the ring. She was crying tears of joy and just kissed him. She broke away.
"You won't believe how long, I've waited to hear those words. Yes, I will" Latias whispered. The crowd rejoiced. Rayquaza picked up Latias by the waist and twirled her around in a circle.
"So guys? Time to go home. As in the hall." Spectre said. There was a few sadden faces, knowing they were leaving behind their new friends to return home.
"Yo, Spectre? You can pull a few strings to bring them to the wedding eh?" Rayquaza said pointing at Hayden, Moon and Kimi.
"Consider it done!" Spectre said. "Say your good byes! It's going to be a bumpy ride home!
"So Groudon! I see you and Kyogre are Seeing Eye to eye for now!" Moon said approaching her crush.
"Yeah and this is my thank you gift to you!" Groudon said giving her a quick kiss on the lips. Moon just stood there stunned but in a good way. "Seeming you like me and all. Hehe"
"So Darkrai? Next time we see each other, I'm challenging you to a rematch! And you're going down!" Kimi said to Darkrai, who was smiling.
"I'm sure your Ampharos would love to have a second go at my Sceptile! I look forward to it!" Darkrai said, placing his hand forwards for a handshake. The two shook hands and walked away.
"You're going to come to the wedding? Right?" Kyogre asked.
"Of course! I chance to see you and go to the world of Pokemon! How could I deny that chance?" Hayden said to her giving her a kiss on the lips.
"Right, so half of your guys stuff was destroyed or stolen during the last few days. So I'll have Nohail go look and see what can be salvaged." Spectre said before disappearing.
"AH! IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK! LET'S GO!"
"PALKIA! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Dialga screamed at her brother/counterpart. He had sent floor 34 into a new dimension after accidently ripping a hole in the space continuum.
"HA, just proves you can't keep this place under control! If Mum had of placed me in charge-"Palkia started.
"We would most likely be dead if Mum place you in charge!" Dialga retaliated. Cue Regigigas.
"Come Guys. Just chill like me. You should try this new herbal stuff I found in the mountains man…" Regigigas slurred.
"I have standards, Regigigas! I'm not a druggie like you!" Dialga scoffed.
"But this stuff is like herbal and stuff and is like good for yoooou…" he slurred.
"So, I plan my next attack on Rustboro city. A grenade and maybe set up an automatic snipering system… What do you think Kyurem?" Azelf asked the former terrorist. Kyurem rolled his eyes.
"Like I said last time, that's my old life! And I'm not your teacher anymore!" Kyurem snapped.
"Whatever. I'll go with what I have!" Azelf muttered. She was considered a terrorist in the Pokemon world.
Meloetta was sitting in the relaxation room with Xerneas and Diancie. They were watching TV whilst she was writing a song.
"Hey, Xerneas, Diancie! How does this sound?" Meloetta asked.
All I need's a little love in my life
All I need's a little love in the dark
A little but I'm hoping it might kick start
Me and my broken heart…
Diancie moved over closer to Xerneas.
"It's totally about Darkrai…" the snickered.
"What you say?" Meloetta asked.
"Nothing!" the two girls chirped.
BAAAAANNNNNNGGGG!
"I hate teleportation…" Giratina moaned as he landed face first as did everyone else but Deoxys who landed on his feet.
"MUM!?" Dialga and Palkia shouted.
"Yes, we are back… Finally!" Arceus said, now back in her god like form. Along with everyone else. Latios was back at the hall for the first time 13 years. Dialga saw him.
"Latios?" Dialga said with love hearts in her eyes. "Everyone! LATIOS IS HERE!" she screamed as nearly all the girls but Meloetta and Azelf came rushing in.
"I love you handsome!" Moltres called out.
"Please spend one night with me!" Mesprit shouted.
"Love me!" Xerneas yelled.
"I'm Gay." He said straight forward.
…
…
…
"Awkward..." Deoxys blurted in an obnoxious tone, pissing off all the girls. He transformed into his speed form and zoomed off with all the girls chasing him, firing hyper beams, flamethrowers, ice beams etc.
"Well that went well…" Latios chuckled.
Author's note: Ahhhh. I hope I did this ok D: Some spots I'm not happy with and other I'm in love with.
I watch Hoopa and Clash of ages and I have to say... eh. Not fantastic but not bad. Some parts epic and some were cringe worthy. The fact Regigigas sounded like a broken washing machine too lol. Kyurem and Rayquaza lived up to the standards everyone was wanting.
Remember, you can ask questions for the Q+A coming up. Regarding anything, wishing Latias and Rayquaza a happy marriage, ask who they hate the most etc.
If you've already ask, ask again if you want. I want as many questions as possible!
And I will say this without spoilers, First chapter of the sequel all written up! So start thinking who you want on the sequel as it will be Arceus and 10 others voted a poll. If you want to ask what a certain legend personality is, just ask.
Also...
DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD KILL OFF DARKRAI!?
Next time... the Wedding!
As always, Review, suggest or PM me. Poke_Spectre out!
Darkrai's injury of the day:
Getting crushed by a Car and getting hit in the face with a vase!
