So, here's another chapter! Remember to review! I need moar!

Numbershooter: Like what, for example?

TheLightningPunisher: Indeed, they are very similar characters. But they are different.

Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Chapter 82


"Are you sure we can't have that gem?" I asked, frowning.

"I am the protector." The moemon said, frowning. "I am Cresselia, Guardian of the Yellow Gem."

"All right, let me fight you then!" Kana shouted, glaring at Cresselia. "Fire punch!" Kana focused flames into her hand, charging at Cresselia.

"Psycho cut." Cresselia said, swinging her hand to the side, launching a blade of psychic energy at Kana, who jumped into the air, dodging the attack.

"Flamethrower!" Kana shouted, spitting flames at Cresselia.

"Aurora beam." Cresselia said, holding her hand up, launching a bolt of rainbow light at the flames, creating an explosion that extinguished the flames.

"Fire fang!" Kana flew up into the air, and bit down on Cresselia's shoulder, Cresselia crying out in pain.

"This isn't a one on one fight!" Rimei shouted. "Swift!" Rimei held up her hand, and launched energy stars at Cresselia, cutting into her arms.

"Damn it…" Cresselia said, holding her shoulder, which was burning fiercely.

"Psycho shift." Cresselia said, holding her hand up, directing it at Rimei, her body badly burned as Cresselia healed herself.

"To bad." Rimei said, smiling. "Natural cure." Rimei's body began glowing, and her burn healed itself.

"Dragon pulse!" Kana shouted, launching a shockwave of flames at Cresselia, knocking her backwards.

"Damn, this hurts…" Cresselia said, frowning. "Lunar dance." Cresselia lost consciousness, and then suddenly regained consciousness, glaring at the two.

"What do you think?" Cresselia asked, smiling.

"This is gonna suck." Kana said, frowning.

"Take this!" Rimei shouted, throwing her star at Cresselia. Cresselia held her hand up, and captured the star with psychic energy, and swung it back towards Rimei, hitting her head on, sending her flying backwards.

"Thunderbolt!" Rimei shouted, launching a bolt of lightning at Cresselia, who dodged out of the way, only to be hit by a dragon claw from Kana.

"Damn it…" Cresselia said, glaring at the two of them.

"Aerial ace!" Kurou shouted, disappearing, reappearing behind Cresselia, hitting her in the back with her wing, knocking Cresselia down towards the ground.

"…" Cresselia flew up into the air, held aloft by psychic energy, and created a sphere of psychic energy around her body, the psychic energy swirling around her. She held her hands up, and launched a beam of psychic power at Kana, knocking her out of the air. Kurou reappeared behind Cresselia once more, and sliced at her with her wings, Cresselia spinning around, hitting Kurou in the wing with an aurora beam, ice beginning to form over the feathers, Kurou plummeting towards the ground. I looked in terror at the two of them, terrified that she would hit the ground.

"Kurou!" Kana shouted, flapping her wings, flying over to her friend. She caught Kurou before she hit the ground, the two landing on the ground safely.

"Dragon pulse!" Kana opened her mouth and launched a dragon pulse at Cresselia, but the psychic orb moved in front of the dragon pulse and received the attack.

"Psybeam." Cresselia said, launching a beam of psychic energy, hitting Kana, sending her and Kurou stumbling backwards, Kana confused.

"Recover." Rimei said, focusing energy, healing Kana.

"So, you're the main problem." Cresselia said, teleporting in front of Rimei. "Well, let's see what we can't do about that."

Cresselia held her hand up, and hit Rimei in the chest with an energy ball.

"Urgh!" Rimei said, flying back. Cresselia held her hand up and launched a beam of psychic energy, sending Rimei flying backwards.

"I'm here too!" Vui shouted, hitting Cresselia in the back with an aqua jet.

"Impertinent little…" Cresselia hissed, throwing Vui off of her.

"Dragon claw!" Kana shouted, hitting Cresselia in the back with a dragon claw, Cresselia stumbling over, badly injured.

"All right, Kurou, into the capture styler!" I shouted. Kurou fused with energy, and entered the styler, wind swirling around the disk in a tornado. I shot the styler out towards Cresselia, and the disk looped around her, trapping her within a tornado. I lifted her into the air, and captured her within the styler.

"All right!" I cheered, smiling.

"Congratulations." Cresselia said, descending down to me, bowing. "Because you have defeated me in battle, you have the right to take the yellow gem."

"Thank you!" I said, smiling.

"This one, right?" Kana asked, picking up the yellow gem off the pedestal, the chamber shaking.

"Put it back!" I exclaimed.

"Okay." Kana said, nodding, placing the yellow gem on the pedestal, the shaking stopping. She picked it up again, and the shaking began once more. Kana quickly replaced it, and the shaking stopped.

"What, is it booby trapped?" Petal asked, frowning.

"…No." Cresselia said, looking away, frowning.

"…" Petal said, glaring at Cresselia.

"Fine, I'll disable the traps." Cresselia said, rolling her eyes. She snapped her fingers, and then Kana lifted the yellow gem off of the pedestal and brought it over to us.

"Awesome." I said, smiling. "All right, what now?"

"Where is my master?" Vui asked, gritting her teeth, Sandslash standing behind her for support.

"I don't know." Cresselia said, shrugging. "I defeated him, and he ran off. I don't know what happened to him after that."

"Don't worry." I said, frowning. "We'll make certain to return the yellow gem to its resting place when we are finished with it."

"There is no need." Cresselia said, smiling. "If you need the gem, then that means that it's reason for existence has finally appeared. And once it fulfills its purpose, there is no longer any need for it to exist, and there is no longer any need for there to be a guardian."

"So what are you going to do now?" Petal asked.

"What anyone would do, now that they are free." Cresselia said, smiling. "I'll keep living." Cresselia held her hand up and began shimmering with light, disappearing.


So, what will happen next?
