EoS: So, in this chapter, we get to see the full extent of the Death Sta- I mean, the "Ancient Weapon."
Lauren: Nice save.
LexiconHuka:
EoS: Cool.
TheLazyRiver:
EoS: Actually, Tsubasa was performing a secret test to see if Kellyn was a worthy master of birds. But more on that later.
Amalgam24:
Lauren: Maybe.
Combustablemons:
Lauren: No, because it's awkward to bring a guy home to an apartment with a guy.
Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 88
Petal and Pichu continued to walk through the inside of the Ancient Weapon, searching for the Tea Party.
"Hey, Pichu." Petal said, stopping.
"Yeah?" Pichu asked.
"Does that large door look suspicious to you?" Petal asked, frowning. She pointed at an enormous door built into the wall, which seemed to shine with pompousness.
"Very." Pichu said, nodding. Petal pushed the door open, and they headed inside.
"Okay, what's going on here?" Petal demanded.
"Well, I never would have expected a Ranger to make it here." Dr. Edward said, frowning. The Tea Party were having tea in a large balcony with no ceiling or walls, just two more doors on either side of Petal.
"I'm here to defeat you and reclaim this world for us." Petal said, frowning.
"Oh, really?" Dr. Edward asked, frowning. "Permit me a demonstration of this fully armed battle station."
Dr. Edward walked over to the wall and ran his hand over it, a video screen appearing. He typed something into the screen, and the weapon began to shake.
"What are you doing?" Petal exclaimed.
"Do you see that island? Dolce Island, wasn't it?" Dr. Edward asked, pointing to an island directly ahead of them. "That island, it's where all you little Pichu play, right?"
"Yeah, why?" Pichu asked, frowning.
"Prepare the main cannon." Dr. Edward said into the computer. An enormous cannon extended from the Ancient Weapon and began charging energy.
"What do you think you're doing?" Petal exclaimed.
"Just watch." Dr. Edward said, pressing a button on the control panel. An enormous beam of light fired from the Ancient Weapon, striking Dolce Island, leaving nothing at all behind.
"What the hell…" Petal said, pushing past Dr. Edward and running to the ledge, staring at the empty ocean. Not even a trace of the island remained. "What have you done…?"
"A demonstration of my power." Dr. Edward said. "Until the Celestials show themselves, I will begin to destroy this entire region, and soon all of the world. Until both the Celestials and the Ranger Union surrender to I, Ed the Thinker, I shall continue to demonstrate my power."
"That's not what I mean…" Petal said turning to Edward, murder in her eyes. "Do you have any idea what you've done? How many innocent people you just killed? For what? A demonstration?!"
"For the greater good of humanity, sacrifices must be made." Dr. Edward said, frowning. "Still, who are you to talk to me? You're nothing more than a helpless little girl. Do you honestly think that you can defeat the power of the Ancient Weapon?"
"Yes, she can!" A voice shouted from behind her, Petal turning to look out over the sky. Kellyn flew towards her, riding on Moltres' back, Articuno and Zapdos flying beside him.
"Kellyn!" Petal exclaimed.
"You've tamed the Legendary Birds?" Dr. Edward exclaimed.
"That's not all." Kellyn said, frowning. "Ho-Oh!"
The Rainbow Bird soared through the air and launched a barrage of rainbow flames at the ancient weapon, badly damaging it.
"Activating defense barrier!" Dr. Edward exclaimed, creating a barrier to protect against attacks.
"That barrier is nowhere near as powerful as the one you made to keep us out." Kellyn said, frowning. "It won't be able to stand up to the power of four legendary moemon."
Kellyn climbed off of Moltres' back, Articuno and Zapdos flying into the air.
"I'm impressed, human." Moltres said before departing. "No one has flown on my back like that since Aoshi."
Moltres flew off to join the others as well, the birds attacking the barrier.
"Kellyn…" Petal said, smiling. "I'm glad you're here with me."
"No problem." Kellyn said, smiling. "I'll always come help you when you really need it."
Kellyn turned to Pich and placed his hand on her back.
"Don't worry about the island." Kellyn said, smiling.
"What?" Pichu asked, frowning.
"I asked a friend to help." Kellyn said, smiling. "She agreed."
"A friend?" Petal asked.
"Tsubasa." Kellyn said, grinning. "See, I didn't expect her to be so over the top about it, though."
"What are you talking about?" Dr. Edward demanded.
"Right before your laser hit." Kellyn said, grinning. "She took the entirety of Dolce Island and teleported it somewhere else."
"Impossible! No living creature could have such power!" Dr. Edward exclaimed.
"Maybe not." Kellyn said, shrugging. "But I bet a God could."
On the observation cliff of Dolce Island, Tsubasa held her hands up, blood leaking from her mouth.
"Don't… underestimate… the power of the Nexus…" Tsubasa coughed out, collapsing.
"Tsubasa, are you alright?" Lori asked, helping her up.
"It's been a while since I transferred an object this big…" Tsubasa said, coughing. "I think I know what it's like to be in your shoes, though."
"Thanks." Lori said, frowning. "You've already done so much for us, though."
"Don't worry about it." Tsubasa said, frowning. "I'm simply doing the responsible thing. However, I don't think I'll be able to lend you anymore help."
"Don't worry about that." Lori said, grinning. "From what my sources tell me, that thing has a one hour recharging period. And, I've already sent in one of my agents along with some other people to help out."
"And down here?" Tsubasa asked.
"Well, I think we'll leave that to the Big Three." Lori said, smirking.
Leaf, Aoshi, and Sharon walked up, frowning.
"Needless to say, Aoshi isn't that enthusiastic about being here, but the other two…" Lori said, shrugging.
"Thank you, all of you." Tsubasa said, smiling.
"Listen, if you want to thank me, then after this fight is over I want you to warp me to anywhere I want to go, okay?" Aoshi asked, frowning.
"Are you still planning on running away?" Leaf asked, shocked. "Listen, Dawn, she…"
"Leaf, there are some things a man has to do for his family." Aoshi said, frowning. He glanced to Sharon.
"Yeah, got it." Sharon said, nodding. "But I'm not going to let you off the hook next time we meet. I'm going to give you the beat-down you deserve if I ever see you again, so keep your eyes open."
"That's why I trust you more than anyone." Aoshi said, smiling. "Now then. Let's get this done."
EoS: So, the final battle begins!
Lauren: Will the good guys win? Find out next time!
