Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir

Chapter 71

"You…" Purple Eyes said, shocked. Hovering in front of him was a tall grey tablet with red symbols engraved on it. On the center of the tablet was a large number "01" glowing for all to see.

"Purple Eyes, SEELE has reached the point where it no longer needs you." The tablet said. "We have now received the power to achieve Human Instrumentality all on our own."

"This wasn't what I agreed on!" Purple Eyes exclaimed. "I joined up with your organization in order to achieve the power to take over the world. You said that if I worked for you, then you would give me the power to achieve that!"

"Yeah… We lied." The tablet said. "Sorry."

"Sorry?" Purple Eyes exclaimed. "Everything I've done has been to achieve this power!"

"SEELE cares not for your goals." The tablet said. "We only care how you could have helped us achieve the Human Instrumentality Project. And you have been a very useful pawn up until this point."

"You!" Purple Eyes shouted. "Metagross."

"Yes, my leader." Metagross said, standing up, Kaila and Kana getting prepared to strike back. Metagross held her hand up, and released a blast of light energy at the tablet, which simply faded out of existence, as it was only a hologram.

"Leader, it is time for us to take our leave." Metagross said, grabbing onto Purple Eyes.

"Damn you… SEELE… Rangers…" Purple Eyes cursed. "I swear… I will defeat you all…"

Metagross flew off into the air, the storm clouds beginning to fade around the mountain, allowing the clear sky to be shown for once.

"It's nice out…" Petal said, staring up at the sky.

"Yes, it is." Kellyn said, nodding.

"Could we maybe have a more serious reaction?" Aeris asked, frowning. "I mean, those two just got away! I was going to see if I could go one on one with that Metagross!"

"Kellyn…" Kellyn turned and saw that the tablet had returned, and was now accompanied by three more tablets numbered "02" through "04" for his convenience.

"You…" Kellyn said, frowning.

"We of SEELE have come to issue a challenge to you, Rangers." The 01 Tablet said. "We shall await for you at the Waterfall Ruins, and we shall see if you can reach us, and stop us before we can awaken the human weapon and initiate the Human Instrumentality Project."

"Objection!" Petal exclaimed.

"What?" The tablets asked.

"For starters, your Omniscient Council of Vagueness is so obviously a ploy for a twist ending!" Petal exclaimed. "Everyone believed Purple Eyes would be the final boss! However, your interruption leads me to believe that you've just been working your goals in the most circuitous and ineffective way possible!"

"You believe that you can understand our goals?" The 03 Tablet asked.

"For another thing, what's with the whole 'tablet' thing and referring to yourselves as SEELE?" Petal asked, frowning. "I mean, I'm SURE that the readers of this story will even know about Evangelion, let alone the Human Instrumentality Project or about SEELE."

"You say you can understand our goals, but you know nothing." Table 01 said.

"Please! You're just trying to sound all cool and hipster just so we assume you have big plans, when really you're just some lame society who wants to achieve absolute power just like every other final boss in a video game!" Petal said, putting her glasses on, her eyes shining. "I can see the ending!"

Kami-sama! Kellyn and Kurou thought to themselves, staring at Petal. Petal just turned into Kami-sama!

"Please, like TWGOK references are better?" The tablet labeled 01 demanded.

"Yeah, we're leaving." Kellyn said, frowning. "This conversation is getting to meta for my tastes."

"Wait, Kellyn!" Petal said, moving after him, glaring at the tablets. "We're not done."

The two moved their way towards the entrance, the moemon following after them.

"So, the wheel has begun to move." The tablets said, disappearing.

As soon as they exited the mountain and stood on the ledge, an array began shining under Kellyn and Petal's feet.

"Oh no." Petal and Kellyn said simultaneously, shocked. The two looked at each other, and disappeared back in time.

They arrived in front of a large golden temple, where Celebi appeared in front of them, smiling. "Hello! It's time for the next game of Temple Run!"

"Guys!" Petal and Kellyn turned to see their befriended moemon ran up to them.

"Petal!" Tangrowth said, hugging her tightly with her vines. "I'm glad you're back!"

"Hey, quit hogging Petal!" Drapion said, frowning.

"Both of you, cut it out." Magmortar huffed.

"…Hello." Abomasnow said, waving at them, frowning.

"So, we're challenging the Storm Temple next, huh?" Blaziken said, frowning. "This is a strong one."

"Please, it's not that tough." Venusaur chuckled.

"Oh, I hope so! I can't wait to battle some strong opponents!" Feraligator said, laughing wildly.

"You moron." Blaziken said, face palming.

"Really, want to fight?" Feraligator asked, frowning.

"You're not strong enough to defeat me." Blaziken said, frowning.

"But I am." Venusaur said, smirking.

"If you want to fight, I'm ready to fight." Blaziken smirked. The two glared at each other.

"…I'm getting some serious Déjà vu, aren't you?" Kellyn asked.

"OH yeah." Petal said, nodding.

"So, are you guys still willing to help us?" Kellyn asked.

"I have no choice." Blaziken said, frowning.

"Anything for you, Kellyn." Venusaur said, smiling.

"Kahahaha!" Feraligator said, laughing. "I can't wait to take on some strong opponents!"

"And you guys are loyal to Petal, huh?" Kellyn asked, turning to Magmortar, Drapion, Tangrowth, and Abomasnow, who all nodded in agreement.

"Okay guys, let's head in." Petal said, smirking. The group headed into the temple, which was made of yellow and gold rocks, with yellow murals painted on the walls. They walked through the temple, and a figure stood at the entrance to the next room, frowning. She was a moemon, a Manectric. She wore yellow shorts, blue tights, and a blue shirt, with wild blonde hair down to her shoulders and red eyes.

"A Manectric." Kellyn said, frowning.

"Manectric…" Blaziken said, frowning.

"Blaziken." Manectric said, frowning. "What are you doing here? I thought you would be the one to protect the rules and not invade another's territory."

"I am, but Master Weiss told me to help this boy." Blaziken said, frowning.

"Really?" Manectric asked, frowning. "Very well, then. Allow me to test your skills in battle, human. I want to see how you can get these others to fight for you."

EoS: So, back to the past! Will Kellyn be able to defeat Manectric?

Lauren: And will they conquer the Storm Temple?
