Instead of seeing chains I saw a female Zoroark with wine red eyes as she slowly approached "well Matthew, how about we have some alone time?" she asked and I shook my head before raising my spare hand in a fist "don't trifle with me, I see through it, so don't bother wasting your energy on either attacking me or keeping up the illusion. You work for the renegades, the third party in this realm who hates anyone and everyone who is in the other two parties. Is that correct?" I asked and when she didn't reply I tensed my legs ready to attack her only for something to grab me from behind "I'm sorry about this Matthew, but I need to do this." I heard Chains speak from behind me.

"Chains, you no good traitorous son of a bitch. I should have seen this coming. I trusted you, and you became like everyone else. Fine, kill me I could care less. But remember this Chains. Remember for all your eternal life that you are the fucking traitor that killed me." I spat out before glaring at the Zoroark "Leila just kill him already." Chains said behind me and I smirked even though I was still glaring daggers at the Zoroark "dur ek dinok. Dir grohiik." I whispered under my breath only to hear Chains gasp and her grip on me to loosen. I sighed quietly as I broke free of her grip "grik hevno dinok" I said aloud to no one in particular as the Zoroark began to slowly walk towards me.

"Matthew we work for the same side you do. Calm down and we can explain." She said quietly as I raised my hand to the amulet of Arceus and tucked it into my shirt so it rested against my bare skin over my heart. "I'll calm down when I get answers. You expect me to just let this event slide and let you get away with it?" I spat out instantly after she was done "Matthew please, just let me explain this situation." She began to plead only for me to hammer her head hard with my right hand making her stumble back at the force of my blow. Her head tilted upwards as I then delivered a hard left uppercut to where her jawline met her neck. I then stepped back and turned around as a low gurgling sound made itself apparent.

I turned to face Chains only to see her bleeding from the mouth and a small puddle forming around her. I smiled sadistically as she looked at me pleading silently as I heard the Zoroark behind me known as Leila slowly start walking towards me only to stop. "Matthew what is that?" she asked as I slowly smiled wider "it's a power that only I know of. You never knew anything about it because I never wanted you to. You could say that it is like the so called 'voice of death'. Same principle all you need is the knowledge and the will." I replied only to see her slowly looking between Chains and me almost as if coming to terms with what happened before she stepped back in fear.

"Stay back you, you, monster, devil, being bred from the pits of hell. Stay away from me." She spat out as Chains gasped through the blood as I sighed and looked at her with a smaller smile "ouch, that hurt. I think I might just do that and leave your little friend here, to fall into his arms, he's getting closer you know. He always follows me, because everyone who is at my side long enough, is already dead." I said as the temperature in the room started to drop drastically "what are you saying? Who is he?" Leila questioned fearfully as I turned to the door "it's only common sense for a master to watch over his or her apprentice, and when they think of them as a son or daughter the bond is stronger. However the true answers you seek will be revealed momentarily."

The fear she was emanating was almost as much as the temperature had dropped in the room, I slowly sat down in a cross legged fashion as I smiled at the door as midnight black smoke started to seep from the cracks in the door, the temperature also dropped some more as well making it almost unbearable "what, no. This wasn't how he saw it." Leila said above the sound of the door creaking under pressure as I suddenly hardened my face "he's taking too long, it's not him." I said lowly before turning back to Chains to grasp her hand "vevollum habitinon merashi bindal nomash sofah retah forush mibathon nalloten grehil gamish" I said slowly and using my spare hand to rest over Chains' heart.

I watched as Chains began to lift her spare hand to grasp the hand resting it over her heart as she grasped it with a bone crushing grasp. Eventually she was able to loosen her grip on my hand as she sat up slowly as the door then began to bend inward slightly. "Matthew?" Chains asked me as I stood up "Chains you will owe me big time after this. And don't think about pulling similar shit to this, it would only end up with you being in the same position with me not helping you." I said as I walked over to stand in front of the door "Entity on the other side of this object I command you to leave this place. Leave and return to the realm of fire whence you came."

The door then began to snap from the pressure being applied to it as I slowly stepped back before continuing "heed my words entity, be not and be gone for the power of the great and all mighty creator sentences you back to the land on whence you came." I spoke repeatedly each time getting louder until the door suddenly burst down revealing the empty hallway of the hall of origin "Matthew?" I heard Leila ask and I smiled slowly "he's still here, don't be fooled. It wants me, it can have me. But first I need to buy us some time. Chains does this place store any rosemary, incense or any type of repellent?" I asked as she nodded "in the medical wing. No one here though needed them so we never restocked them."

I sighed at the news "doesn't really matter, he still will have to leave us alone if we make it there in time. Come on, lead the way." I whispered as quietly as I could as I slowly walked out of the room with them close behind me until Chains took point and led us through the halls each step I smiled wider until I stopped dead as they continued. "Well, well, well. You caught on did you? Finally I can have some form of entertainment before I send you to your doom you miserable half-breed." A voice spat in the darkness of the hall in which we had just come from "yes well you know me all too well mate, I always catch on faster than most others. Don't worry though; I'm sure you'll find some other entertainment before we send you back to hell."

I knew my words had hit him hard as I saw a flash of blood red eyes in the shadows before I felt a presence next to me (shadow projection, this is making things difficult.) I thought as I felt the entity hit me hard in the left kidney forcing me to be flown back slightly from the force as I clutched the area after wiping my mouth ridding it of the small amount of blood that had spilled from the impact. I looked at the entity only to be grasped from behind by another entity as I cursed under my breath "Matthew?" I heard the voice of Chains ask and I sighed and smiled "really?" I asked only to be gripped tighter making me wince slightly in the pain of my shoulder blades hyper extending.

"Matthew are you alright?" I heard Chains ask as she reappeared in front of me before she gasped and looked into my eyes, as I stared into her own I knew it was her "Chains just keep going, but bring some of the incense back here. Trust me I can handle this thing for now." I said only to be hit in the gut as it had let me go and blocked my view of Chains. I then began to see a single clawed hand slowly raise up to my neck height as it went to bring it down I reacted quickly. I reacted but not quick enough as it missed my neck but stabbed into my left arm as I rolled somewhat to the right. I managed to maintain a straight face through the pain only for a brief second as the hand then began to generate a type of pitch black lightning.

I screamed though clenched teeth at the pain as I saw its other hand begin to rise before it made a flicking motion with its hand as a pitch black one handed scythe materialized. My eyes focused on it before I raised my spare hand as a pure golden glow formed around the fist as I nailed the being where the gut would be. The being would have stumbled back if it weren't for its hand being embedded into my left arm. My crimson blood staining the shirt and slowly dripping to the floor (god damn it…oh fucking hell the amulet. I'm an idiot.) I thought wanting to slap myself as I focused on a forest almost frozen still in my mind. The moonlight shining at its brightest as it created a sense of tranquillity.

The same light surrounded me however I also felt myself begin to deform and reform with the strange sense of power and higher senses flowing through me (this is new. Well then let's get the show on the road.) I thought as the glow faded and the being withdrew its hand from my arm as it took a step back. And although I couldn't see its face I knew it was surprised as I stared into the black void where the face would reside "what's the matter demon? Didn't see it coming?" I taunted before noticing that my voice had become slightly lower in pitch. I sighed as I stood up as tall as I could noticing I was slightly smaller, as I started to walk towards it I was confused as it continued to step back keeping distance between us.

"I'll finish this quickly then." I said quietly as I cracked my fingers before lowering the left hand while keeping the fingertips and palm of my right hand pointed directly at the demon "fiola badideme revevola atorum desitro constamire antin restro jevalox vevollum." I began watching as it began to waver in its strength and begin to fall to its knees. "Vedadime mestrosa gidarla vatuum." I spoke slowly getting louder as the entity fell to its hands and knees still presumably staring at me "jarety nametra trianthol mestra nathrak vevela netroyuum. Sadimme norestamal vitola iora vistoral na'ul." I spoke as loud as I could without shouting watching as the entity began to sink into the floor.

"Next time, just stay down there." I said as I turned my back to it and began to walk away until a voice met my ears. "Very well done nephew; I'm impressed." I froze at that and whipped around only to see a man who looked to around his mid-twenties with greyish white hair and ruby red eyes. He wore a jet black trench coat with golden fingerless MMA training gloves. I recognised this figure immediately and sighed as I turned back into myself again. "You've grown sometime since the last time I saw you." He spoke as I clenched my fists "get to the point; you didn't try to talk to me on good intentions. You tried to ask something of me, so get it over with so I don't have to look at you anymore."

I glared daggers at the man as he looked back at me before he began to walk forward "alright. You got me, however I know you have at least one question I can answer. So I'll answer it, you wish to know your true heritage right?" he asked as I smiled. "Yeah but what's it to you?" I asked him before returning my face to its hardened stone glare. "Simple, nothing, I already know every single member of your family so I gain nothing from this." He said as I sighed "fine, lay it on me." I said slowly gesturing for him to get it over with. "Fine, your father is a dear friend of mine, it's why your dark attacks are so powerful. Your father is Zekrom; your mother however was a human. Hence your human appearance so you see I was made your godfather. While the one you specifically serve is your godmother."

I froze at the news and started to snarl as the door opened behind me "Leone, thank Arceus you're alive. I'm so sorry." I heard Rachel say behind me as I sighed (count to four inhale, count to four exhale.) I thought constantly as I slowed my breathing down to calm my heart rate down. As I did though I felt Rachel hug me tighter "Leone you need to understand why I had to hide it from you." She started to plead before I stood up fully and turned around to stare at Rachel in the eyes. As I did she ducked her head and buried it in my shirt with her arms wrapped around me "Rachel is what he says the truth?" I asked calmly while slowly rubbing her back.

"Leone yes, it's true. But please understand that we had to hide it from you. Because we thought that once you found out that you would be in denial." Rachel tried to explain with her head still in my chest. Eventually I started to look at the top of her head her green hair somewhat soothing as I smiled slightly. "You thought I would deny my godmother?" I asked sarcastically as I wrapped my arms around her body pulling her towards me in a friendly hug as she gasped at the action. "I remember this being done but reverse; you would always go to her for comfort." I heard the man in front of me say as I sighed before resting my head on top of Rachel's.

I eventually looked up at the man and sighed sadly "sadly though I remember nothing of that time." I said sadly while I let go of Rachel and stepped back away from her grasp to hear her gasp "what do you remember before your time on earth?" she asked as I thought. "I can only remember flashes and blurs, nothing to clear. The voices are muffled as well, but it doesn't matter. What happened has happened and we moved on from that. But if I was here previously shouldn't I be getting flashes of things and maybe getting mixed in between timelines?" I said slowly only to have my sight become blurry and my hearing became indistinguishable murmurs before I felt something hard hit the side of my face.

Flashback

I walked through the halls with Rachel at my side in a morph form, she still had her armour on though it resembled an ancient Greece general "Leone why do we have to be on guard so much?" she asked as I turned to face her "because we don't want another sneak attack on us like last time." I answered only to have my hand be grasped by her "Leone I'm sure that we made our point clear that we are heavily defended." She tried to reason as she gripped my hand tighter "alright, you head back, better to lose one life than two." I said sternly only for Rachel to lightly kiss me cheek "just keep yourself safe alright." She said as I smiled slightly and nodded "I will, get going."

As she was out of sight I continued walking through the halls looking around making sure to keep a hand near my hip where a claymore rested. I smiled as my fingers touched the hilt of the claymore. I continued on my walk as I lightly grasped the hilt of the claymore. A sudden noise made me draw my claymore and hold it in front of me, the black powder coating along the spine of the sword making me smile slightly at it, I walked towards where I heard the noise slowly being careful to be as quiet as I could. Eventually I reached where the noise was only to see Sara shaking behind the pillar, by the look of it she'd been crying. "Hey Sarah what's wrong? You know that the outside area is dangerous."

My words must have spooked her because she froze up at my voice as I slowly knelt down to her level and started to rub the back of her neck softly. "Leone how do you cope with being here?" she asked as she looked at me tears beginning to well up in her eyes again. "Sarah I guess I've just gotten used to it, but you know that others are here for you. We all have to be strong Sarah if we want to get through this. So it's better inside than out here. Please Sarah just head back, curfew begins in a few hours and I don't want them to see you." I said softly as Sarah leaned up and lightly nuzzled in the crook of my neck. I smiled at the gesture and rubbed her back slowly.

"Leone, can you help me up?" she asked as I nodded and hoisted her up slung over both of my shoulders as I began to walk back towards her Chambers. As I was walking though Sarah let out a content sigh as her tails rubbed my back soothingly. As her chambers came into view I smiled as her tails still rubbed my back as I opened the door and walked inside before laying her down onto her bed. As I went to leave the room a commotion outside made me rethink it and stand by the door ready to grapple whoever entered. A shadow then began to form on the wall as whatever it was got closer to the entrance. I tensed up the bigger the shadow got until a gallade came through the door.

He wore pitch black armour and carried nothing but his blades on his arms looked to be covered in steel as I waited until he was going towards the bed before I grabbed him around the neck and began to drag him away into a corner of the room as the gallade used a small burst of psychic energy to free himself from my grasp. As he turned around I threw a hard right hook making him stumble back from the hit but I managed to grab him before he could enter the doorway. As I continued to try and grab his neck the more he would use his arm blades to try and cut me. As I went to block one of his attacks I saw Rachel enter the room halting my block long enough for his blade to cut deep into my stomach.

I grunted as he yanked the blade out and teleported away. Rachel ran to my side as I fell to my knees and began to chuckle "Leone hold on, we're getting help. Don't worry, you can make it." She repeated constantly as I stopped chuckling. "Rachel don't bother" I managed to gasp out as I held my right hand over the wound already feeling my blood running through my fingers and dripping onto the floor. "Leone save your strength, please Leone you can make it. Don't die on us, especially me." She pleaded as I heard Sara gasp before she too was at my side as I laid down on my back staring at the ceiling "Leone what happened?" Sara asked as I didn't respond.

I smiled lightly as they began to grasp both my hands tightly "Leone, please promise that if we meet again that you will remember me." She pleaded as I began to lose feeling in my arms and legs. "I promise." I muttered softly as the feeling in my chest began to fade as well. I then began to feel lighter as more of my blood began to leave my body. My hearing then became distorted and my vision began to blur. I then lost all feeling as I continued to stare at the ceiling until my vision was encased by the pitch black embrace of death.

End Flashback.

I awoke panting hard as the flash still burned vividly in my mind. I was about to move when I heard the door to the right of e open and I closed my eyes pretending to have never woken up "Leone is it true that this is you?" I heard Sara ask and I inwardly sighed as I felt an arm wrap around my chest as she nuzzled into the crook of my neck. "Sara, I'm sorry." I whispered to her only to hear her gasp and hug me tightly nearly breaking my ribs in the process. I smiled none the less as she began to cry into my neck her tears staining my right shoulder. I then began to softly rub her back as I used my other arm to bring her closer to me. I then began to hear voices outside the door making me raise an eyebrow in confusion.

Sara seemed to notice my confusion as she answered "the rest of the Champions are out there. Shall I tell them you're awake?" she asked me and I smiled softly "of course." I said with a slight nod as I began to stand up she walked out of the room. I sighed as the chatting outside stopped before the door opened again and Chains stepped in quickly followed by the jolteon. I didn't have time to question it however as Chains was soon hugging me tightly to her in her human form with her head buried in my chest. I managed to smile even though I wanted to cringe at the force of the hug as she slowly loosened her grip on me. I began to hug her back as I heard her gasp lightly.

I looked towards the jolteon to see it smiling softly at the sight as I lightly nodded at it as Chains stepped out of my grasp "welcome back to the land of the living." She said a small smile on her "thanks Chains," I said before looking to the jolteon "though I don't remember you." I said referring to the jolteon as it smiled and answered "it is fine, my name is Spark." She said still smiling as I nodded "pleasure." I said slightly bowing to her still keeping a straight face. As I rose however I was quickly caught in another hug from Chains who started to break down onto my left shoulder, her tears staining my shirt. I smiled slightly and turned around to hug her back and bring her closer to me.

Well here is the November chapter as promised, I hope that this is enough to keep you guys keen for the Christmas chapter coming up possibly at the end of the year. I will say however that this story, while being one of my most successful in terms of fan feedback isn't one I think I'll enjoy writing for long periods of time. I'm just saying that now because I left this chapter to long. I hope that this can continue but how it will continue I don't know. I guess I'll just have to wait and see won't i? *sigh* anyway I've used up enough of your time but until next time have a wonderful day, night, morning, evening and I'll see hopefully all of you in the next chapter.
