"You gonna tell us what happened next?
"Actually, Reggie's going to shut his mouth before he says something else that borders on treason." A man wearing a blue suit and matching hat walked into the room. He had a necklace that was slowly glowing and a Lucario at his side. "Reggie, you know better than to quote anything fro Krestner's file. It was placed 30 levels above top secret for a reason."
"Well, if it isn't Riley, the man who started this whole mess to begin with." Reggie reached for a Pok Ball, but an Aura Sphere from Lucario stopped him cold.
"Don't make another move, Reggie or else..." The door burst open all of a sudden and Krestner came in clothes falling apart and bruises all over his body. "Well how are you today Krestner?" Krestner eyes glowed brightly for a second and then changed back to their natural brown.
"Hey, Boss. What's up?" Lucario shot another Aura Sphere that Krestner stopped with an open palm and dissolved it with his mind. "Well that doesn't seem very nice. Not very nice at all. I just assault an entire Galactic Base, and bring back so much information and that's how you repay me." Krestner seemed really happy for some strange reason. It was slightly unnerving to the others in the room. "Oh and by the way I also stabilized Ghost and struck a serious blow to the amount of Grunts, Team Galactics had."
"Where the hell have you been?!" Selena yelled at Krestner. Kaitlyn noticed the tear that slid down Selena's cheek.
"Stay out of this, and you should probably duck just in case."
"What are you guys?" Reggie grabbed Selena, Madison and Kaitlyn and dragged them behind a wall.
"Trust me, you don't want to get in the middle of that. Oh and to answer you're question, they're both Aura Guardians."
Selena stared at Reggie and could tell in his eyes that he wasn't lying. Reggie suddenly grabbed her head and pulled her down as his door was flung towards them. Riley smiled at Krestner across the room and then told his Lucario to back down.
"So, Krestner...you are still going by that name, right? How long has it been since you used those powers that you "vowed" to never use again? He and Krestner began to circle one another.
When was the last time I broke your nose?
Clever, but you know that you could never beat me in fair combat. Krestner laughed sadistically.
Fair? I m afraid I don t know the meaning! Ghost, Use Psychic on Lucario! Ghost emerged in a blaze of black light from his Poke ball and seemed not in the least bit unstable. The fake limp was gone. Today, Krestner was going to fight. The attack threw Lucario into Riley and into a wall. They both hit the wall and slumped down unconscious. You guys can come out now. Selena was about to get up thinking that Krestner meant them, but Riley forced her down again and told none of them to move. A group of people and pokémon walked into the room at that moment. One of them was Professor Rowan with a Staraptor; another was Cheryl with a Chansey. One of the men was short and had reddish hair sticking out of a ponytail and a yellow streak through it and a red shirt with a flame pattern on it. He was flanked by Claydol. He spoke in a rough voice.
Krestner sometimes I don t know why we leave you two in the same room together. Last time, you break his nose and this time you knock em unconscious. He laughed.
Well, he deserved it after all. He can be a very mean and rude person. Cheryl said as her Chansey began to heal Riley. Though you could avoid breaking his skull next time, kay Krest?
"Sure. Next time." Cheryl smiled but Selena noted the grim tone of Krestner's voice. Almost as if he hoped there was going to be a next time. Rowan suddenly jerked his head in their direction.
"We have visitors." Krestner suddenly stiffened and he turned his head slightly in the same direction and visibly scowled.
"I know. It's okay for them to come out now, Reggie. I...We have no intention of hurting any of them. Physically anyway." A gothic-looking girl standing in the back with an Arcanine smiled.
"Yea, you were never really good at not leaving someone emotionally sound."
"So says the goth girl, Marley " Krestner said. Reggie led the group out from behind the wall. They all looked disheveled and confused. Krestner introduced everybody
"Selena, Madison, Kaitlyn this is Professor Rowan, Buck, Marley, Cheryl, Mira and the unconscious one is Riley." Each person waved their hands as they were introduced. The girl known as Marley and her Arcanine walked outside the open front door to keep watch. The smaller girl with pink hair with one side being looped looked concerned. "What's wrong Mira?" Krestner asked even though she she knew he was already in her head. Her Alakazam sensed it too.
"I'm not in love with this tactical position, so can we please get out of here?" Then without waiting for an answer her Alakazam teleported them all out to an open field covered in snow. The strange thing was that it wasn't cold at all. Madison was about to ask why when Reggie answered.
"This area is protected by Aura so powerful the cold winds don't get in. "He turned away from them and towards the group, hovering around Riley and his Lucario. Krestner launched a Water Gun from his hand at Riley's face, waking him up. Before he could speak, Alakazam teleported him back to Reggie's house. "Krest, you should probably report to Rota, before Riley does and accuses you of treason." Krestner smiled.
"Sure and that means the rest of you can continue to discuss everything behind my back." In a second, he sped off into the distance, leaving dry grass in his wake. The Aura Guardians slowly tried to walk off while Selena and the group took in what they'd just recovered first.
"Somebody please tell me. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" her voice rising with every word. Rowan moved faster than he should've been capable of and covered her mouth.
"We'll tell you but if you continue to scream, we'll have to get rid of you. Can't afford to be discovered or risk an avalanche." Selena calmed down and only then did Rowan remove his hand.
"Where are we that we'd risk an avalanche?" Madison asked. Marley answered that one.
"We're on top of Mt. Coronet near the famous Spear Pillar, but we're also about 4 miles up from a Team Galactic encampment."
"Okay, now tell me why ?"
"Well, it all started when Krestner broke into the Galactic Eterna Building..."
Couple Hours Later...
"And's that's why we're hunting Team Galactic. We don't want them awakening Dialga and Palkia and creating a new world as long as we have a say in it." Rowan concluded. Selena was pissed (again), but this time she controlled her anger better.
"You haven't said anything about Krestner and why he can do the things he can do. He fought Giratina, created Whirlwinds and even moved at super speeds. " The Aura Guardians didn't know how to answer, because they didn't know either. Krestner rarely said anything about his life to anybody.
"I'm sorry but the only person who could tell you that would be Krestner and he's never been to open."
"Well then i guess it's time to start." Krestner walked out of the shadows, his face a mask of disappoinment. "The Aura Guardians have been tailing Team Galactic ever since it was created by it's leader Cyrus. You can't blame the Grunts for this plan because most of them have no clue what's going on. Cyrus told precious few his plans, even some of his Commanders didn't even know. I, was one of the few he did tell. Reggie, I'm sure has told you that I was once Commander Venus of Team Galactic, but that was only the begining. Cyrus doesn't just want a new world, he wants to destroy this one, believing it to be too flawed to stand on it's own. I once belived in that plan. And you know me whenever I believe in something I get into it. So I became one of my own experiments, a weapon for Cyrus to use as he saw fit. I fused my own DNA with that of a Mew." At this everybody gasped, for even the Aura Guardians hadn't heard this part of the story. Riley had been thorough in his work. Krestner continued, as he no longer seemed to be aware of his surroundings. " After I realized that this experiment worked on humans I took it a step further and tested it on Ghost and that's why he's able to do a lot of the things most Dark types can't such as, Teleporting and firing off Aeroblasts. I showed Cyrus the fruits of my work but eventually he seemed to want to go in a different direction and had me working on a way to get into the Reverse World. I found it a week later. The portal is...well that's not important. Anyway I, along with the rest of the Galactic Commmanders and Cyrus entered the Reverse World looking for a way to let Cyrus's dream come to pass. Let's just say things got ugly after that and the result wasn't pretty either. I personally snuffed out the life forces of every Commander except Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Cyrus was left trapped in the Reverse World. But before he did he did something so vile it haunts me to this very day. It's not even something I can say. I'd have to show you. Krestner's eyes suddenly began to glow white and everybody was suddenly sucked inside his head.
