- Fossil Fighters: Champions belonged to their ownner(s)
Inspired by a story titled Stalking Horse Games. I forgot who write it, but whoever they are, they definitely inspire me. That, and another titled Fossil Fighters Championship: Calisteo Academy.
Enjoy.
P.S.
If the authors of said stories above noticed, forgive me for not asking or telling you anything.
I can feel the pain horribly. This is where people wish that they were dead. But, some of them just plain won't.
Next thing I know is that I'm out of the capsule I was in, drenched in some sort of liquid. And someone whispering in my ears.
"Well, well, well. Apparently I can't corrupt you. Let's see whether or not your friends' deaths will."
Okay. That's not something I'm expecting. But, something definitely not nice. I have to go, and warn them. Unless, I can't move.
I feel something brush against...something of my body. I don't what that is. It's like a new appendage you don't know you have until something brushes against it.
"Unique... I see that I evolve you further."
What does that mean? I...I don't understand.
AH! What was that? Like a bee's sting... Now that hurt...
"There, now you'll only be burden to your so-called friends."
I don't understand. What's with him and riddles?
Out of nowhere, more like my heart, I feel burning pain. The very same pain when they took me inside the spider-like cocoon. I'm vaguely aware of the shifting of my limbs, the vanishing of my new limb. Pain's everywhere. Even my throat since I'm shouting in pain.
Then, I feel my consciousness slipping as I see something red, pink, green, blackish purple enter.
"Dino!" shrieked Todd at the sight of his currently-transforming, best friend. His blue eyes narrowed when he saw how Dino writhe. Blue eyes landed on Suoidis. "What have you done to him?"
Eerie yellow golden eyes met cerulean blue, and blue became sharp while golden became amused.
An evil grin, and a not-so-pleased scowl.
"Well, I didn't do anything to him." A pause, grin became wider. "But my machine does. You see, your friend is a rare occurance. He was chosen. Legend says that it only happens once in a very, very, very long time aka a millenia. I've been waiting for years." His long, slender, and clawed, pale fingers brushed against Dino's neck. Golden eyes glinting with glee. "And let's see how much I can get from him!"
When he had finished talking, Suoidis chocked Dino as he drained his life-force, further weaking the young bluenette. Didn't have enough energy to even remain conscious, he fainted. But it didn't slow Suoidis down.
Todd, and Rupert watch with worry. Zongazonga glared angrily, now thinking how beatable himself was, and even more so now. Pauleen seemed scared of the man.
"Yes," hissed the man. Golden eyes flickering happily. "The power. Too bad you're still weakened, Pterosaur."
Suoidis watched the boy within his graps slowly getting weaker. His skin was getting colder, and paler. His breathing shallowed by the minute. His heartbeat was getting slower, though not that noticable.
Then, a minute later, he dropped him.
Dino's body fell limp when his neck was released. He involuntarily gasped before falling limp, again.
Seeing his greatest rival or enemy possibly dying, Zongazonga sprang.
All hell broke loose.
Suoidis summoned REAL live dinosaurs instead of vivosaurs; a T-Rex, a Spinosaurus, and a Carnotaurus. Zongazonga, already charging and thinking it was a bad idea to back off, slammed into the T-Rex. As a payback, Spinosaurus bit his neck, but was knocked back with his skeletal "hands". Zongazonga roared when Carnotaurus bit his tail before kicking it off of him.
"What kind of vivosaurs are they?" growled Zongazonga. "Brainless."
However, Joe and Rupert were intrigued by the fact that Zongazonga labelled the dinosaurs as brainless. Vivosaurs were never brainless. Despite needing a Fighter to guide them, they had some sort of sense and intelligence, hence vivosaurs can communicate with their Fighters.
The evil smirk on Suoidis' face didn't help.
"Brainless, they may be. But, with the Pterosaur's powers, I'm able to do this!" He slid something card-like across his palm, his body and the dinosaurs' glowed with different colours.
"Magma Blaster! Mist Sword! Kagerou!"
The T-Rex gathered fire in its mouth before blasting it at Zongazonga.
A high-pressure water protuded from Spinosaurus' mouth. It used the "sword" to slash at Zongazonga.
The Carnotaurus ran faster than the eye could see before slamming repeatedly to Zongazonga.
Zongazonga roared in pain, and fury.
"We have to help him, and save Dino. I don't think he can survive any longer," suggested Rupert. Joe nodded his consent, followed closely by Todd and Pauleen.
They threw their medals, summoning them.
Todd summoned a Stego, and a Goyle. Rupert summoned a Mapo King, and a Gorgo. Pauleen summoned an Equinas, and a Futaba. Joe summoned a Ptera.
All of them were armoured according to their elements.
Stego, Goyle, and Ptera, being Earth-type had purple armor on their bodies. The Mapo King, Mapo, Equinas, and Futaba, being Water-type vivosaur, had blue armor. Each shaped to fit their shapes on their heads, spine-tail, ribcage area.
"Cool!"
"...Interesting."
"Pretty, diga!" Equinas, and Futaba roared in agreement.
"Certainly worth seein'."
Suoidis was another story. He didn't seem impressed. In face, he became a lot more pissed off. "Fancy pieces of armor won't help you."
"Wait, is it just me, or we can't use our vivosaurs' skills?" inquired Todd.
Suoidis laughed out loud. "You just plain don't know why, now do you?" Seeing their blank looks, he grinned maniacally. "I take that as a 'yes'. You see, when your vivosaurs were introduced to those armors, they lost their former abilities. Thus you need to gain new ones, all by yourself."
"Then," Rupert stepped forward. "That means we can invent our own moves." Gold eyes met green (were Pauleen's green?). "Let's do this."
"OK, diga. Futabi: Aqua Whip!"
"Mapo King: Liquid Ionize!"
Suoidis laughed at the ridicule, and their futile attempt.
However, his laughter died when he saw that the skills were actually happening. "What the-?!" was all he muttered before the attack hit his T-Rex.
Futabi's Aqua Whip was a stream of water coiling around the T-Rex, lifting, and smashing it against the ground. The T-Rex roared in the coils as it was smashed around. Then, Mapo King's Liquid Ionize somehow made a great electricity current. Futabi let got of his whip at the same time as Mapo King's Liquid Ionize's electricity hit the whip, and electrocuted the T-Rex. The T-Rex jerked when it hit, falling to the ground and let out one last roar before dissolving into many dark particles.
"How's that, diga?" challenged Pauleen. "Still thought we're weak?"
"Big mistake. Mighty Wind on that Mapo King, Carnotaurus, and Shockwave on that Ptera, Spinosaurus!"
"Not so fast!" growled Zongazonga. When they looked back at him, he had black armor over his armor-like bones. He used his blue-misty breath to nullify the Mighty Wind. "Nightmare!" he roared as his eyes glowed as he stared directly to the Spinosaurus, which just launched its attack at Ptera (but haven't hit yet). Said Spinosaurus suddenly collapsed after roaring in terror.
"What was-?" muttered Todd, everyone was in awe.
Before Joe's voice cut them off. "If them can do it, then so can I! Ptera, evade, an' Land Break'r on tha' Carnotaurus!"
Ptera shrieked as he dodged the Shockwave attack. Then, he climbed the winds before diving low, armor, and wings glowing. He let out a cry as he tilted, letting one of his wings to literally cut the ground without slowing a fraction. Ptera then slashed the Carnotaurus vertically, his slashing-wing seemed to went through it.
Before Carnotaurus roared, and hunched. It roared, attempting to counterattack the Ptera.
"Not so diga-fast! Equinas: Tidal Drown!"
Everyone sweatdropped at the name.
Equinas roared, water circling around it like a water cyclone. Then, the water entered the earth. Carnotaurus looked smug, stepping forward.
"Now!" yelled Pauleen, hand outstretched.
Equinas stood on her hindlegs, roaring, as a prison of water blasted from under the Carnotaurus, trapping it in the cube of water.
"Doesn't help, missy. My Carnotaurus is water-resistant despite being a Wind-type."
"That's what you diga-think! Equinas: Seabed Crusher!"
Equinas roared, once again standing on her hindlegs. The cube shrunk, crushing the Carnotaurus inside it. Then, it also dissolved.
They checked the Spinosaurus to see it had been impaled with Zongazonga's skeletal claw, which was coated with black energy, while the other gripped it. Then, it also dissolved.
"Grrr! You punks!" Suoidis calmed. "No matter. He won't be able to help you anyway." He pressed a button which was hidden in his dark, long sleeve.
Dino's body jerked violently with electricity, shocking everyone.
"No!"
Suoidis laughed. "Adios!" And he threw a smokebomb to the floor. When the smoke dissipated, he disappeared.
"Dino!" Todd ran to his best friend's side, followed closely by even Zongazonga. He immediately pressed his ear against his chest, listening for a heartbeat, and breathing. When he got none, he quickly pumped his chest. "Not good," he muttered.
"What's wrong, diga?"
"I've known Dino for a long time. And as far as I know, his heart isn't as strong as ours. But, not as weak as those with actual heart disease; he had some sort of accident. I didn't see him for a full month before I saw him again."
"Wha' 'appened?"
Todd shook his head, still pumping, hopes high. "I don't know. He never told me. All I knew is that since that day, he never speaks even a single word, and he tires faster than before. But I suppose playing around me made him regained some of his old strength." A cough broke their referee. Todd was the happiest. "Hey, Dino. You awake?"
Fingers twitched.
"Take that as a 'yes'."
Then, they heard sound of glass breaking.
"What was that?" asked Rupert warily.
...Was that... Yes, that was the sound of Zongazonga's temporary armor breaking... Apparently, I'm still not fully recovered as I thought... But, that could be from the tightness in my chest...
What did that person do to me?
"Dino's pulse is rather weak, and slow," informed Rupert, since Todd himself was rather...overwhelmingly happy. A little waaay too happy, while waaay too early. "He may be tired after all of this ordeal." Rupert stood up, and golden eyes met red-purple. "Though how Zongazonga's armor shattered is beyond me."
Pauleen looked thoughtful when she checked Zongazonga. "You know, diga, it may have something to diga-do with Dino, digadig."
"How?"
"Well, don't anyone remember when Zongazonga first diga-come to us, digadig?"
Joe nodded. "'m get where're this goin'; Zongazonga has no armor befo'e he followed us an' battled."
"You know something."
When the others saw what Rupert was doing, they were perplexed. He was glaring at the slightly smug Zongazonga.
"What's about it, boy?"
"You know that this has something to do with Dino."
He puffed his dark chest. "Of course. That ancient legend had came before me. Right before Zombiesaurs even exist. My people had waited for him for centuries, before realizing that the prophecy wouldn't come in our time."
"What's about the legend and prophecy, diga?"
"That's for another time," sulked Zongazonga.
"Hate to break it, small fries, but 'e's right; we gotta get Dino outta 'ere. I believe Zongazonga should 'ave the power." He glanced to get the affirmation.
They nodded, agreeing to the plan.
Joe knelt by Dino's side, while the others helped lift him into Joe's back. He moaned in his...sleep. Joe then stood up, lifting the boy with ease.
"Ready, pards?"
Zongazonga roared, and their vision was blinded with blue.
"Tell me why did we have to teleport to Zongazonga'a Castle?" asked Rupert dryly, Zongazonga's medal back into Dino's medal container, the VivoHolder.
Dino was still carried on Joe's back. He denied their help to the carry their friend themselves. Each of them actually volunteered to, but were "swatted" away.
When they were passing the Caliosteo Museum (was it?), Professor Scatterly left the building. Their...rather unwanted meeting was inevitable.
"Ah! Joe! What an honor! You come just in the right time!"
"'cuse us, Professor, but we can't afford ta waste time. 'cuse us." Joe walked hurriedly past Professor Scatterly, shocking the elderly professor with his manners. But when he saw a glimpse of orange and blue, he chased them.
"Wait! I know how to wake him up!" Now that attract their attention, though most were sceptical. "You see, I recently found a way to use the sunrays to make energy that we humans have in our bodies. Of course, I still haven't found a way to use it on vivosaurs yet."
Rupert, rather impatient for the sake of his friend and rival, asked, "Did you test on human?"
I...feel like slipping. I want to sleep, if I haven't already. Big problem is from the edges of my memory I know that I'm already unconscious. I need to wake up... I have to warn them. I saw something that might be our demise.
TRIVIA / FUN FACT:
- The idea of Suoidis draining Dino's life-force was originally based on Xemnas' ability: Invitation to Nothingness from Kingdom Hearts II, which he used on Sora.
- Suoidis' dinosaurs (including the moves) were based from Dinosaur King.
- I don't know ANY vivosaurs' moves (skills, abilities), so forget your memories on how Fossil Fighters: Champions battles progress.
- Since I also forgot the characters' vivosaurs, I gave them some random vivosaur I know.
- The "flaw" Suoidis said was because I just can't seem to memorize any vivosaur's skills or abilities at all... Sorry
- Skills, such as Liquid Ionize, and Land Breaker, were my own skills. I tried to invent will-and-imaginary-based skills if I can't remember and I were to amplify the vivosaurs.
- I forgot to describe Suoidis, & co. Imagine them as their Star Wars counterparts.
