This is your last chance. OC submission is coming to an end. If you do not submit now, your OC will not be in this story. All OCs I have accepted will be used, so please send me your OCs. I need heroes and villains! Whether it's a Mismagius or a Gastly, a Snivy or a Oshawatt, an Abra or a Mr. Mime, or a Totodile or a Cyndiquil? Please submit!

Kinda got tired of yelling for you to submit. Come to think of it, did I sound a little bit evil when I did that?

Come to think of it, I do that a lot... Maybe I have an evil second personality! Maybe he had plans for world domination! Maybe he has a girlfriend!

...Maybe he can update chapters more often...

Does being evil make you write faster?

...Hmm...

SUBMIT TO ME! Submit or you'll die in exactly 100 years!

Wait a sec... Not a very good threat...

Oh well, just send your OC! I need villains as well as heroes!

A massive Hyper Beam cut through the air. Green blades spun and slashed. Sharp claws shone as a massive beast rushed foward. The Reaper Wings, despite their fearsome reputation, didn't have a single chance against them. Feathers were flying and birds were falling. Nicholas managed to reach Faye and cover her with his body before she could be hurt anymore. All he could hear was angry roars and terrified squawks, along with the hum of energy bursting. Nicholas held the girl tightly until the air became silent. The scared screams, and the Dark Pulse faded into nothingness. Nicholas slowly opened his eyes.

The Reaper Wings were strewn all around, those who were slightly still awake were moaning in pain as they lay in the dirt.

Nicholas gave a sigh as he pulled Faye up off the ground, his arms and legs feeling shaky as he held the girl safe in his arms. He stumbled off into the dust cloud, searching for both an escape and a sign of Trinity. The dust greatly detered his vision, as he struggled to get through, coughing as the sandy air entered his mouth.

Need to escape, he thought, as Faye moaned in pain in his arms. Need to get out of here...

His thoughts of safety and freedom were cut of when he walked smack into a large, hard as rock body. He slowly looked up at the Tyranitar from before, who was staring back at him with equal curiousity, before the massive creature's eyes settled on the small Kirlia in his arms.

"Hey, ma'am," he said in a grating, low voice. "That kid okay?"

"He's a man..." Faye muttered weakly, as she struggled to not pass out on the spot.

"Oh. Sorry," the Tyranitar replied, slightly bemused.

"Don't metion it," Nicholas replied, too tired to be angry. "But that doesn't matter! This girl needs help right now!"

The Ground-Type noded. "Hey! Iron!"

"What?"

"Gettovah here!"

The Garchomp from earlier ran through the dust, coughing. "What is it?" he asked.

Before Nicholas could say anything, the Garchomp had pulled the girl out of his arms and took off with her.

"H-hey!" Nicholas protested, trying to go after him.

The Tyranitar grabbed Nicholas and steadied the disoriented Lopunny. "Relax, man. Iron's the medic on the team. 'Course, he's the only one who can use any medical equipment. My hands are more fit for breaking stuff, and Blade... well, he doesn't have any hands..."

Nicholas felt panicky. "Who on earth are you people?"

"Us? You don't know us?" The Tyranitar looked offended. "We're Team Berserker, the best team of bounty hunters in the Sixteen Kingdoms!"

"Sorry," Nicholas replied, "It's been a while since I've been at the mainland."

The Tyranitar smirked. "Ah, come on, man, no problem. Name's Breaker. The Garchomp's Iron, and the Scyther's Blade."

Nicholas gave a nod. "I'm Nicholas. The girl who is, hopefully, being bandaged up." He paused, and then asked. "If you're such great bounty hunters, then why are you here?" he inquired.

Breaker grinned. "Relax, man. We're not hunting you two. We're actually on more of a search and rescue kinda gig."

"Search and rescue?" Nicholas asked. "Who were you looking for?"

"I think he means me, mate."

Nicholas turned to see Iron carefully tying a bandage to Trinity's wounded wing. The Farfetch'd was sitting next to Faye, who was a large piece of gauze wrapped around her waist and chest. Blade was standing next to them, keen eyes searching for enemy reinforcements. "See now?" she asked. "This is how a rescue is done."

"We weren't here to rescue you," Nicholas reminded her, feeling tired and angry.

"Oh, so you two know each other, man?" asked Breaker. "Good, that gets rid of any intros for the three of you." He walked over to Trinity, who was now wrapped up in gauze. "Ms. Trinity, we were sent to pick you up by your apprentice."

Trinity groaned. "Oh, no..." she muttered. "Munic sent you?"

"Actually, he turned up at our place seven times begging us to rescue you," Iron said in his gravely voice.

"Ah, man," moaned Trinity. "Please tell me he wasn't crying?"

"Uh... He wasn't crying?" Blade offered.

Trinity groaned and stood up. "Leave it to my apprentice to make a mockery of his job."

Nicholas rolled his eyes. "You could be a little grateful..." he muttered.

Breaker pulled the bird of the ground. "Well, if you don't mind, we'd really like to get off this island and go home."

"Oh, yeah?" asked Trinity. "And how are you going to do that?"

"We have a boat," said Iron. "What, did ya think we swam here?"

"Wait!" Faye said. "What about us?"

"Oh, you two can come too, if you want," Breaker said.

"Not just us!" Nicholas said. "There are three others! Chris and Shade are on the beach, and Ghost is looking for them! We need to get them back with us!"

Iron and Breaker winced. "Oh boy," said Iron, feeling another job coming on.

"Well?" asked Blade, staring at Nicholas. "Where are they? We'll go find them."

"Like I said," Nicholas repeated, "Chris and Shade were on the beach. Ghost is looking for them, but he might have gotten lost in the woods."

"We can't leave without Ghost!" cried Faye, scared of the concept of leaving her best friend behind.

Blade shook his head. "We won't. Come on," he told the other two bounty hunters.

Blade took off with Faye on his back, followed by Nicholas. With a sigh, Iron picked up the still tired Trinity, and he and Breaker followed.

"We're not getting paid for this one, are we?" asked Iron.

Breaker rolled his eye. "Aw, shut it, man."

The two followed the other three, until Iron tripped, dropping Trinity onto the dirt.

"Did ya feel that?" Iron asked.

"Feel what?" Breaker asked, helping his team-mate up.

"That tremor!" Iron said. "Didn't you feel it?"

Breaker shook his head. "Nah, you just imagined it."

Trinity shook her head. "I don't think his imagination would make him trip and drop the poor injured blacksmith onto the dirt."

"What are you doing!" shouted Nicholas, standing at the entrance to the cave that they had entered the valley from. "Let's go! We have no time to waste!"

Breaker grunted back. "I'm fine, man! We're coming!"

Iron picked the disgruntled Trinity back and followed. However, the Garchomp and the Farfetch'd's minds were still wrapped around the tremor from before...

As the bounty hunters and the three refugees fled from the valley, the ground began to shift. Slowly, a small lump appeared in the ground, and began to moving in the direction of the cave. It paused, and then, very slowly, a head poked its way out of the soil, bright yellow eyes glowing intensely as it watched them enter the cave.

Intruders?

Intruders...

The creature gave a screech and then burrowed back under the earth. Back to the darkness.

Slowly, the land above began to sink and crumble.

Shadow gave a grunt as the Noctowl's talons tore into his back. He hit the sand with a snarl. The white rings that covered his body glowed faintly, a think layer of bloody sand covered his fur. The Noctowl has a fierce laugh and tore at his back again, but Shadow managed to just duck. Chris charged and swung his fist at it with a powerful Ice Punch attack. The bird took off and the struck Shadow instead, knocking the Umbreon into the sand again. He shot a glare at the Blastoise, before the Water-Type took a Hyper Beam in the chest.

Chris hit the ground with a grunt. Shade leaped up and charged at the Noctowl as the bird caught his breath. He hit the bird, but he didn't even flinch before batting him away with his wing, and then sending a Wing Attack at the Umbreon, who narrowly dodged it.

"Hmm, I can't say I'm entirely impressed," the Noctowl remarked as he circled around. "For a couple of bounty hunters, you two aren't too impressive."

"Bounty hunters?" questioned Shadow. "What are you talking about?"

The Noctowl gave a piercing hoot of a laugh. "Oh, playing Mr. Defiant Liar, are we? What a good deal of nerve you have! And guess what?" The Noctowl's eyes glowed angrily. "I hate nerve!"

Chris fired off his Hydro Cannons at the bird, but he took off before they could hit. "He said we don't know what you're talking about!" the Blastoise shouted.

The Noctowl growled. "Hmm, is that so? Then why come out into the very middle of nowhere?" He struck Shadow with an Iron Wing, knocking him down. "Don't tell me you're here for a little vacation! Then again, the beaches are killer!"

"So was that pun," Shadow said, pulling himself out of the sand.

The Noctowl chuckled, before swatting Chris away again when he tried to Ice Punch him again. "Well, well, the serious one has a sense of humor after all!"

Shadow launched himself foward at the Noctowl, who responded with another Wing Attack, knocking Shadow to the ground. The Noctol gave a fierce laugh and fired off a Hyper Beam at the downed Umbreon.

"Spite!" a nervous voice shouted.

The Hyper Beam faded away and then a Dark Pulse smashed into the face of the Noctowl, who barely even winced.

Ghost flew over Shadow's head and fired off again. "Leave him alone!" the young boy shouted. "Get away you big bully, or I'll give you a beating you'll never forget! I'll teach you to never mess with-!"

The Noctowl swatted the boy aside with a hard Iron Wing, sending him to the ground with a sickening thump.

"Oh, I thought he'd never shut up..." said the Noctowl. When he saw Chris and Shadow glaring at him angrily. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you two want to smack him?"

After ducking a Shadow Ball launched by Shadow and a Hydro Pump sent by Chris, the Noctowl grinned alomst sheepishly. "I'll take that as a no," he said, dodging more Shadow Balls.

While Shadow held the bird off, Chris ran over to the wounded boy and began to pull him to safety. "Where were you?" he questioned, feeling irate due to his injuries."

"We were looking for food," Ghost said, wincing in pain. "We got attacked by some birds and trapped in a cave, so Nicholas sent me to find help!"

Chris was about to answer when the Noctowl blasted Shadow, who was sent flying into Chris, knocking them both over.

Chris struggled to stand up and face the Flying Type. If they had been fresh like him, this would've been much easier. If only that coward hadn't just been hiding.

With a snarl, Chris and Shadow pulled themselves off the sand, and struck fighting poses again. The Noctowl cracked up. "Oh, please, stop!" he chuckled. "This is getting too ridiculous, even for me!"

A Hyper Beam struck the Noctowl, knocking him into the sand with a squawk.

Chris gave a breath of disbelief and shock as a trio of fierce looking Pokemon leaped in front of them and struck fighting poses. "Sorry, boys!" the leader, a massive Tyranitar said. "Leave this one to the pros and go join your little friends."

Shadow turned and saw a huffing and tired trio of Nicholas, Faye, and some weird bird wrapped in bandages following them. Ghost was delighted. "Faye!" he shouted floating over to his friend.

"Ghost said you were trapped in a cave," Shadow pointed out. "Care to explain your escape?"

The Tyranitar fired a Hyper Beam at the Noctowl, who quickly ducked. "That's how," Nicholas said, as he managed a small smile when he saw Ghost and Faye share a tight hug.

"Who are those guys?" Chris asked, his ego slightly dented, but nothing serious.

"Who are they?" asked the Noctowl as he dodged more projectiles. "They're better bounty hunters than you, that's for sure!" The Noctowl began to laugh, buit was cut off by a Dark Pulse striking his chest.

Breaker was grinning like a maniac. "Well, well!" he exclaimed, swing his massive fists at the bird. "It seems this will be more profitable trip than I thought! Wings the Noctowl, leader of the Reaper Wings!" The massive fighter whistled, impressed. "The reward on your head could by a hundred castles!"

Wings grinned. "Ah, in the end, true greed shines through. This is how all stories should end; the heroes defeat the villain and sell him off, becoming rich beyound their wildest dreams. Much better than happily ever. However, you can't sell the villain off if the heroes all die!"

Dodging a Hyper Beam fired off by the gang leader, Iron snorted. "Who said we're going to die, punk? We have you out numbered!"

The Noctowl attempted a Wing Attack, but it was doged easily. "Keep talking, kiddies. Words are all you have now."

Blade slashed at the Flying Type, barely missing as he took off.

"Come on down, ya pansy!" shouted Breaker, firing a Dark Pulse off.

And then, before anyone could say anything, the earth shook.

A massive tremor rocked the ground, knocking Team Beserker off their feet. "What the..." Breaker grit his teeth as the ground began to shake violently.

Wings grinned. "Oh, that's my cue, kids. Sorry, but duty calls. See you around! (Not!)"

The Noctowl cackled manically as he took off. Breaker fired at him as he took off, but he dissapeared into the sky, his image becoming a black smudge on the setting sun as the tremors became more violent. The out cold Reaper Wings began to stir and panic as the earth began to crumble. A massive crack began to split the ground, sand spilling into it as water began to rise, and the Reaper Wings had had enough. They all took of screaming fearfully, leaving a shower of scattered feathers in their wake.

Breaker looked to Blade. He was a Rock Type, and swimming wasn't an option for him. However, it seemed that he wouldn't have much choice in a few seconds. "BLADE!" he shouted. "THE BOAT! GET THE BOAT!"

The Scyther nodded and took off into the jungle again.

Faye and Ghost held onto each other as the tremors began to crack the island like a nut. Breaker grit his teeth as the water began to nip at his heels, and ground began to sink. In a mere second, he was barely keeping his head over the water.

Everything went dark as he sunk under the water. He began to panic. Was this anyway for a great bounty hunter to end his life?

And clawed arm shot down and grabbed him. He took a breath of pure wonderful air as Iron pulled his leader out of the water and onto Chris' back, along with the others. It was cramped and heavy on Chris' back as he began to paddle away from the carnage with his friends in tow.

"Everyone in- *cough* -one piece?" Breaker asked.

"Yes," Nicholas said. "We're all here."

"Not everyone," Iron corrected as he stared out to the shattered island.

The small isle was vanishing under the wave, stone, sand, and trees vanished into the maw of the ocean, vanishing forever. They had only been there for so long, but they still felt shaken. They had just escaped the destruction of an entire island, and they were still alive. Only quick acting had saved them.

Silence was dominant for about six minutes. Breaker was sitting as best he could, his eyes staring at the horizon.

"So," Trinity asked, breaking the silence. "Are we going to stay here, or are we going to get out of here?"

"We are not leaving without Blade!" snapped Breaker.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Chris said. "No need to get snappy. We're going to find your friend, so just calm down, okay?"

Breaker growled. "I just lost the bounty of a lifetime, and my friend is missing. I will not calm down!"

"Guys..." said Nicholas.

"Hey, you know what?" Chris retorted. "You're on my back and your alive became I'm supporting your massive bulk! So, shut it!"

"Guys..." Nicholas repeated.

"You know what, pal? I've only known you for about six seconds, and I already don't like you!"

"Same here, you big-!"

"GUYS!" Nicholas shouted, shutting both of them up.

"What?" they shouted back.

"I'm here," a familiar voice shouted. "I've only been gone for five minutes, and you've already began to try and kill each other?"

Breaker gave a happy sigh as a large sail boat, made of dark wood, floated up, Blade steering as best he could with no real hands.

The Pokemon quickly boarded the boat, eager to get away from the now frightening spot as the sun finally began to set.

"Eh, sorry about that," Chris muttered as he boarded the boat.

"Not a problem, man," Breaker replied, as he joined Blade at the helm. "Head below the deck, will ya? You look like you could use a rest. Iron, man, give the blue guy and his friends a hand with any scratches, willya?"

Iron nodded and took the others down below as Breaker stood and stared at the sunset. "You didn't really think I had died, did you?" asked Blade.

"What? Me? No, man, not at all! I knew you'd be alright!" Breaker replied, turning away so Blade couldn't see his now red face.

"I'm sure," replied Blade, giving the ship's wheel to his leader. "I'm going to bed. Wake me when you get too tired to drive."

Breaker took the wheel and gave a heavy sigh as he held the wheel, his mind trying to wrap around his next destination. While he tried to think of his next stop, he caught sight of Shadow, who was standing by the prow, staring at the sun.

"Hey, man?" he asked. "You feel tired?"

"No," the Umbreon replied. "I'm fine."

"Okay," Breaker said. "If that's how you feel."

The Umbreon nodded and went silent.

All was quiet, except for the sound of wave crashing into the ship as it sailed foward.

"Do you know what happened?" Shadow asked, breaking his silence again.

Breaker looked behind him at the remains on the island, as it vanished beneath the sea. "I don't know, man. I really don't know."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
