"All right people whatever you do don't touch anything and this flashback will go smoothly. Starting in five, four, three, two, one and here we go!"
The air was thick inside the brightly lit laboratory. The 9 Commanders of Team Galactic stood before the giant mirror as their Boss, Cyrus looked over it.
"It's beautiful. Will it get us into the Reverse World?" One of the male Commanders stood forward, smiling.
"Of course, Master Cyrus. After you got us that Giratina child we were able to analyze it's ability to enter and leave this dimension using data we found from a deleted file of one Newton Graceland."
"Good, good. Thank you Venus. Now tell me how it works?" A stubby little man with graying hair ran up to Venus on stubby legs and gave him a clipboard.
"Thank you, Charon. Now as you all know Giratina has the ability to enter and leave the Reverse World whenever it feel like it. With the baby Giratina we captured on one of its visits to our world, we were able to find a way to utilize that exact power." Venus pushed a small button on his watch and watched as the mirror lit up and began to glow bright blue, shining the light over the room's occupants. "This, my brethren, is a gateway into the Reverse World. Of course, with a few modifications, humans will be able to pass through it. As of right now, should anybody try they will be ripped apart and thrown across time and space. At least that is the theory I'm working with." The group laughed. Cyrus stared at himself silhouetted against the midnight sky of the Reverse World. Venus felt something brewing in his thoughts. It had been awhile since he'd joined Team Galactic and rose through the ranks to become a Commander, and ever since then he'd followed Cyrus' plans down to the last letter, but Cyrus always wanted more.
"Venus, how soon will this astounding device be finished?"
"Within the week, sir. At the very latest."
"Good. Commanders Mercury, Earth, Uranus, and Pluto please leave the room." Several of the Commanders walked out of the lab, or in Mercury's case, seeing as he was wider than the rest, waddled out. All that was left was two woman, one taller than the other with purple hair that fell just a little past her shoulders and the shorter one with short red hair and a Glameow at her side. Besides them , there was a man with blue hair up in two spikes with a Croagunk by his side. " Saturn how close are we to finding the Spear Pillar?"
"Very close, indeed. By the time Venus finishes his experiment then we should have the exact location.", said the man with the spiked hair. Cyrus smiled broadly. His master plan was almost complete. Just a few more pieces to the puzzle.
"Mars? What about your part?" The red-haired Commander bowed slightly, much to the annoyance of the woman next to her.
"The Chain has been made, sir." Just one more link.
"Jupiter, is your task complete? The woman standing next to Mars, bowed much more grandly much to the annoyance of Mars, the embarrassment of Saturn and the utter indifference of Cyrus and Venus.
"Yes, my lord, the Orbs are being brought to HQ as we speak." Cyrus nodded at her and left the room, leaving the Commanders to themselves.
"You had to be the suck up didn't you?" Mars said to Jupiter the moment the door closed behind Cyrus.
"He knows I'm his most valuable servant, wench." Venus moved at a speed unlike any other and grabbed Jupiter by her hair.
"Watch what you say, or you will be my next test subject." He tossed her to the ground and snapped his fingers. "Charon! Get me my clipboard. We've got work to do!" With a cold look in his eyes, he turned to the rest of the Commanders. "Get out. Now." Saturn and Jupiter quickly exited the room, the latter scowling and holding onto her head. Mars smiled.
"You can't possibly mean me too." Suddenly happy looking, Venus walked up and kissed Mars.
"I could never kick you out. Sylvia."
"I would never want you to, Krestner." He kissed her again.
"I would like to puke." Venus sensed the presence of Charon with his clipboard and raising a hand, fired off a Hyper Beam over the little man's head.
«I'd run if I were you.» A gray Eevee walked out from behind a table. «He doesn't have to recharge like most pokemon.» The short man ran off, quickly. Mars smiled as she pulled away from Venus.
"I gotta get going. These Grunts can't operate without someone there to watch them." She quickly slid off out of the room before her knees collapsed. Venus laughed as he looked at the Eevee on the ground.
"We should get back to work, too. Start the analysis on that Giratina again, Ghost."
With pleasure The Eevee turned on a machine and a roar of discomfort could be heard in a room not far off. "Sorry big guy, but this has to be done." Venus turned towards the giant mirror and watched as it began to glow with the power of a Giratina. His eyes were full of sorrow. He really didn't want to use this child like this, but when the Boss wanted something he normally got it.
...
Krestner pushed the pause button on a small remote, causing the flashback to stop. "Anybody got anything they want to say right now?" He asked, Nobody said anything, so absorbed they were in the little they'd seen. "Ok, then. Let's skip ahead about one week into the future."
...
Venus walked down a dark cavern corridor. He seemed taller and darker, his lab coat having been switched out for a black trench coat. Ghost walked by his side, now an Umbreon. Both of their eyes glowed with a malevolence unlike any other. A group of Grunts walked behind him, slowly with a mixture of Toxicroak and Golbat surrounding the two. They walked through a door into a tent. Cyrus sat in a chair, looking over a table full of plans. The rest of the Commanders surrounded him. Venus's arrival drew the attention of everyone in the room. Mars gave him an almost indiscernible look of nervousness.
"Why did you do it, Venus?" "That child deserved to leave back to its home. All i did was let it go." Cyrus stood up and offered and open seat next to him.
"All is forgiven. Please take a seat."
"We're about to have a real Espada moment aren't we?" Cyrus sat down and placed his head on his hand. "That answers that question." Venus sat down.
"Now to business. Today we are embarking on a mission into the Reverse World. Now is the time I reveal my plan." He gestured to the plans on the table. " We will use the Lustrous and Adamant Orbs to open the door to the Spear Pillar. Once there, we will use Venus's Infinity Mirror to open the door. And then we will use this to open the door to the Hall of Legendaries." Cyrus produced a small blue cube from his pocket. "This is th-" "
The Azure Cube!" Earth yelled. "Where did you find it?"
"Where I found it is unimportant. It is the key to the Hall of Legendaries."
"What is that exactly?" Venus answered the incessant cries of the other Commanders. "This world is said to be just one of many just like it. The Hall is said to be the central place. The place where Arceus created it all."
"And the site where I will end it all." Cyrus got up and walked away from the group and out of the tent. The rest of the Commanders soon followed but , Venus stopped Jupiter at the door.
"The next time, you find it relevant to put my business out to the world, I will do to you what Aizen did to Toshiro, and if you didn't already know it was terrible beyond all reason." He kicked her out of the tent, turned around and flipped the table over with his mind. "That was too close, Ghost. One more screw up and we could be the ones who'll have to hide for the rest of our lives."
«I agree. We must proceed carefully. Especially since today is the day.» Venus sighed and turned out of the tent after the other eight Commanders, well aware that his life was about to change.
Several hours later Team Galactic stood in the Reverse World staring at the Azure Cube floating over the pedestal. Cyrus's eyes glowed with evil. The Cube grew until it resembled a large table and fell to the ground, crushing the pedestal underneath.
"Now is the time. Bring them here."
"Bring what here?" Venus asked. A few grunts came in carrying a metal container. Inside was a Mew, Celebi, Phione, Manaphy, Shaymin, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. They were trying futilely to get out of the container but it held them fast. "What the hell are they doing here?"
"We're here to open the door to the Hall of Legendaries and that is what we're going to do. The only way is to sacrifice these pokemon and let their blood open the door." Cyrus pulled out a long dagger and as it glinted off the malevolence of Cyrus's eyes Venus made a move that would reshape his fate.
