Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 26: Palace of Legend (2)
Link, Rucas, Navi, Diasol and Yterval gaze at the Mysterious Demon with their angry eyes. The Sacred Children and their guardian look at the Mysterious Demon with the eyes full with question, and Xynnia looks at the Mysterious Demon with the eyes that full with an unexplainable emotion.
"First, Sacred Children, I must congratulate you for passing your obstacle. You beat Reshiram and Zekrom, the guardian of Bisnus and Zaston. Also, you pass the test of the Sword of Justice too." Mysterious Demon says with the creepy voice.
"Wait, who are you?" Ellisk asks.
"Me? You have no need to know my name, just call me the Mysterious Demon. I am the servant of the god that you are about to meet." Mysterious Demon says.
"Hey! What do you want this time?!" Navi says.
"Yeah! Don't dare to do anything to harm the Sacred Children!" Rucas says.
Instead of getting rage, the Mysterious Demon laughs.
"Me? I was HELPING the Sacred Children in their mission ONCE."
"What?!" The Sacred Children says.
"When you fought with the Sword of Justice, they were injured and you can beat them easily. Well… The one who hurt him is… me." Mysterious Demon says.
Hearing the word from the Mysterious Demon enrages the flame of hate and angry in the heart of the Sacred Children.
"You! Demon!" Jedi says.
Hm… Well… Now let's turn into our business. The god is waiting for your arrival in the next chamber. However…" Mysterious Demon says and points his swords to Link.
"Link, the Hero of Time, I promised you that the next time that we met, the blood shall spill!"
"What?! But that can't…" Rucas says, but Link sends a signal to Rucas to trust him.
Link says nothing and draws his sword, and then he steps ahead to the Mysterious Demon.
Suddenly, the light barrier appears, surrounding the battlefield between Link and Mysterious Demon!
"What?!" Navi says.
"We will fight in the one vs. one battle until one of us lost consciousness!" Mysterious Demon says and roars.
Mysterious Demon
XXXXXXX
Mysterious Demon seems to be stronger than before. He swings his swords at a very fast speed, even that both of his swords are very heavy, but he can use it as if it is a feather. Link has to find the weak point of him so he can attack him. But other than using his sword to attack Link, Mysterious Demon doesn't attack Link with another method.
Because of this, Mysterious Demon lost after a long fight.
"…" Mysterious Demon catches his breath after losing to Link.
"See? You will never win Link!" Navi says.
"… Fine. I lost." Mysterious Demon says and turns his attention to the Sacred Children.
"You know what to do next, right? If you have anything to do before… Do it… or you will never have a change to do it again." Mysterious Demon says and disappears.
"So… It is finally the time…" Jedi says.
"Yes, a time for us to sacrifice ourselves." Glacia says.
"Hey! Are you sure about this?!" Rucas says.
"Don't worry, we have prepared this for a long time…" Nardal says.
"So…" Navi says.
"Although it is a short time, but we enjoy the life with you very much. Thank you, everyone… And… Farewell…" Sacred Children say and walk up to the door that appears on the other side of the room after the Mysterious Demon left.
Sacred Children stand in front of the room, they focus their power before they release it all at once! Causing the gleam that blind everyone for a while.
After the gleam disappear, the Sacred Children is no more there… And the door seems to be able to open.
"…Link…" Rucas says.
"…" Link says nothing.
"… Let's go, the god is waiting for us." Yterval breaks the silence.
Without saying anything, Link, Navi, Rucas, Terrus, Soryl, Maxnet, Diasol, Yterval and Xynnia enter the door to the next room, the Chamber of the God.
At the Chamber of the God, there is a Pokemon waits for them.
"Welcome, young heroes/heroines, to my place." That Pokemon greets. He is a white deer with a golden ring around his waist. He also has several plates around his body.
"You… are the god?" Navi asks.
"Then who do you think I am?" That Pokemon says.
"Anyway, my name is Arceus, the god of Pokemon. I must congratulate you for finally be able to conquer your ordeal and make your way to this." That Pokemon says.
"… Why…" Xynnia says.
"Hm? Young Xerneas, do you have something on your mind?" Arceus asks.
"… Why the Sacred Children had to die in order for us to meet you?" Xynnia asks.
"… One must sacrifice something in order to gain something better than before, this is the truth of the world, young Xerneas." Arceus replies.
"So, you will open the portal to the new world for everyone, right?" Maxnet asks. But his question makes Arceus laugh very hard.
"Why do I have to do that? Since this world that you are living is the new world for you." Arceus says. His words shock everyone.
"What does that support to mean?" Terrus breaks the silence.
"This world is the new world for you, so you need not to move to another world. However, the new world is not ready for you yet…." Arceus says.
"Hm?" Everyone says.
"Look at this filthy world, how can it become the new, perfect world for you? So… In order to prepare the world for everyone, I shall start the ritual now…" Arceus says.
"Ritual…" Soryl says.
"Yes, the ritual to clean this world… By reducing the number of living creatures in this world to zero." Arceus says.
After the words of the god reach the mind of everyone, they can't bring themselves to say anything… Reducing the number of living creatures to zero? It means…
"You are trying to kill everyone!" Rucas says.
"So what? That is the way to clean this filthy world." Arceus says.
"That is no different than this and committing a crime!" Navi says.
"Say as you want, but this ritual can't stop now since the Sacred Children had sacrificed themselves for this ritual!" Arceus says.
Everyone is shocked again, Sacred Children's life is being used for the ritual to kill everyone in the world!
"You are the devil!" Navi says.
"Didn't you say that I am the god?" Arceus says.
"Doing this makes you the devil, not the god!" Rucas says.
But after Rucas finishes saying, the room glitters with the strange light, same as the light when the Sacred Children sacrificed themselves!
"With this, you can't stop it now!" Arceus says and laughs with the evil voice
