Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir
Chapter 91
"Are you sure it was right to leave Kanone and Aurore back there?" Kellyn asked, frowning, as they ran towards the next door.
"Yeah, of course it was." Petal said, frowning. "We didn't have any choice. We need to get going as fast as possible."
"But what if he loses?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"Impossible." Petal said, frowning. "If Aurore is there, losing does not exist as a possibility."
"Well, okay then." Kellyn said, nodding.
"Besides, it doesn't matter." Petal said. "Here's the next room!" Kellyn and Petal pushed open the door to the next room, where Arley was standing, frowning. The room was a large arena made of stone, and standing next to Arley was a large Hariyama.
The Hariyama wore a white shirt and a yellow skirt over blue tights. She had large orange gloves on her hands, and long blue hair down her back. He had glowing red eyes, and glared at the two.
"Hello, Rangers." Arley said, frowning. "Before, you helped me in Raikou's Cave. But now, we meet as enemies. Hariyama, destroy them!"
Hariyama charged at Kellyn and Petal, and slammed her gloved hand towards them.
"Riku." A single word was uttered from behind Kellyn, Petal and Pichu. A Lucario charged forwards and hit the Hariyama in the face at full force, sending her flying backwards.
"What?" Arley asked, shocked.
"Hello there, kids." Kellyn and Petal turned to see a woman standing there, frowning.
"Who are you?" Petal asked, frowning.
"I am an Observer." The woman said, frowning. She wore a tight black shirt and blue jeans. She had golden hair that reached just past her shoulders, and piercing blue eyes hidden behind wire rim glasses.
"What does that mean?" Kellyn asked, frowning.
"I'm here to help you." The woman said, frowning. "You don't have time to waste, even on small fry like this. Get going."
"No, we're going to help!" Petal said, frowning.
"Naughty children who don't do as they are told will be punished." The woman said, turning to Petal, her cold eyes glaring.
"…Right, we were just leaving." Petal said, smiling, taking Pichu and Kellyn with her as she left the room.
"Now, it's just you and I." The woman said, turning to Arley, frowning.
"You think that I'm small fry?" Arley asked, frowning.
"Oh, if you took my comment as an insult, I do apologize." The woman said. "I didn't mean just you. All of you, and your schemes, your entire organization is nothing but small fry."
"Who are you?" Arley asked, frowning. "Who do you work for?"
"My name is Sephiria." The woman said, frowning. "And I told you. I'm an Observer. Nothing more."
"Very well then." Arley said, frowning. "Hariyama, take her down!"
Hariyama charged at Sephiria, who didn't even blink. She snapped her fingers, and Riku countered the blow with an uppercut.
The two fighting moemon exchanged blows, Riku jumping backwards next to Sephiria.
"How strong is she?" Sephiria asked, frowning.
"Fairly skilled." Riku said.
"Any problems?" Sephiria asked.
"None." Riku said, shaking her head. "I can still take her down."
Riku charged at the Hariyama, focusing aura into a sphere in the palm of her hand. She launched the aura sphere at the fighting type, hitting her head on, sending her flying backwards.
"Riku." Sephiria said, frowning. "I am beginning to get bored. We needn't waist any more time on small fry."
"Understood, mistress." Riku said, nodding.
"What are you planning?" Arley asked, frowning.
"I'm going to show you a new state of existence." Sephiria said, frowning.
"Hariyama, close combat!" Arley ordered.
"…" Sephiria snapped her fingers, and Riku disappeared. Hariyama was struck out of the air, and hit the ground in pain.
"What the hell?" Arley exclaimed.
Riku reappeared, though she was much different. Her black gloves had now turned into a combination of black, blue and red. Her black ponytails had now grown much longer and ended in black tips. Her yellow shirt was torn, and her blue jeans became blue, black and red as well. He had glaring red eyes, and black and blue ears on her head.
"What is that thing?" Arley exclaimed.
"A new state of existence." Sephiria said, frowning. "Riku. Go."
Riku charged forwards and struck Hariyama repeatedly with close combat, knocking her into the air. She focused aura into her hands, forming a massive aura sphere, and then launched a cannon of energy at Hariyama, knocking her unconscious.
"A new evolution…" Arley said, shocked.
"It really drains the energy, though." Riku said, returning to her original form.
"You can change back?!" Arley asked, shocked.
"Of course." Sephiria said, pushing her glasses up her face. "This isn't something as pointless as evolution."
"Well, I am impressed." Sephiria turned to see Tsubasa standing there, smirking.
"…" Sephiria said, frowning.
"Oh, come now mother, that's no way to look at your daughter." Tsubasa said, frowning.
"Call me that if you wish." Sephiria said, frowning. "I have long since buried my emotion towards you."
"Wow, that's so cruel, mother." Tsubasa said, shaking her head. "Not only do you kill me, you won't even acknowledge me as your own child. I'm hurt."
"What do you want? An apology?" Sephiria asked, walking past her. "What I did to you is beyond forgiveness."
"No, I don't want an apology from you, mother." Tsubasa said, shaking her head. "I just came here to see how you were doing."
"…" Sephiria said, frowning.
"I'm doing fine, by the way." Tsubasa said, smirking. "What do you think of my adult body?"
"…Sarah…" Sephiria said, turning to Tsubasa. "What do you hope to accomplish with this charade?"
"You finally called me by name." Tsubasa said, smiling. Her smile then turned into a glare. "I would prefer you not to refer to me by that name. I cast away that name when I ascended."
"I wonder why." Sephiria said, frowning. "It wouldn't happen to be a wish for you to distance yourself from the people that abandoned."
Tsubasa narrowed her eyes.
"I see you've been talking to Lori." Tsubasa said, frowning. "How much has he told you?"
"Tsubasa…" Sephiria said, smiling. "How are you enjoying the Nexus?"
Tsubasa held her hand up, and grabbed Sephiria by the neck.
"No more talking, 'mother'." Tsubasa said, frowning. "We're done."
Tsubasa disappeared, Sephiria turning and walking out of the room.
EoS: And I thought family reunions were supposed to be happy.
Lauren: Yeah, no.
