TWO CHAPTERS IN A SINGLE MONTH WTF. Is probably your question right now but honestly I feel like this is deserved as I might not be on here for the next couple of months so I might not update this story monthly like I wished. So I'm putting up as many chapters as I can in the coming months for a binge reading type of style. So that you can read it all at once. Rather than wait a month for it. So this is two out of maybe three or four chapters that I will be uploading soon. Hopefully if I don't forget Lol. Anyway I've wasted enough time. Let's just dive into this chapter.
I sighed as I saw the steadiness in her stance before I raised my hands into a readiness to defend myself if she went to rush me before I heard the door open with a hand falling onto my shoulder. "I think it's time you left here." I heard Zekrom speak over my shoulder making me nod before I relaxed and nodded. "Right, I'm sorry if I caused you grief. I truly don't know what you're talking about but I just felt like I should say that." I said before I turned my back to her and let Zekrom guide me out of the room. I sighed as the door closed behind him before he turned me around and took of my mask. "Son?" He questioned with his voice cracking slightly as I smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes father, it's me." I said seeing as he dropped the mask and embraced me.
I smiled as I embraced him as well seeing him slowly let go before he placed the mask back into my hands as I put it on. "What gave me away?" I said seeing him smirk at me before he looked over my shoulder and slowly gripped my shoulder. "Stay back, this is my fight." He said making a pitch black bastard sword appeared in his left hand. The edge was a lightning blue making me smirk at the colours before I sighed and turned around seeing Moltress and Giratina standing there with their weapons drawn. "I'll take the parrot, you focus on the bug." I said placing my hand to the ground before I felt my hands burn for a second before I stood up again, chains wrapped around my hands. Their pitch black colour making me smirk before I adopted a brawler's stance.
My hands were drawn up to my eye level as I walked forward seeing Moltress start to lose it as I smirked calmly. "Alright you overgrown parrot, show me what you got." I taunted before placing my right foot back and at an angle for greater stability as Moltress charged me, her sword aiming to cut into my neck. I blocked it with my left hand before I countered with a small sidestep spin before throwing a hard right hand seeing the chains split her cheek open as she stumbled back. I sighed as I got back into my stance relaxing my muscles seeing Moltress glare at me before she dropped her sword before she changed back into her Pokémon form. I sighed as I knew what I would have to do. "Zekrom, do not interfere." I spoke calmly seeing him nod before he focused back on Giratina before rushing in to the fight again.
I sighed as I looked at Moltress before I smirked. "You cannot hurt me you overgrown parrot. Did I not tell you this already? Guess that stab through you did something after all." I said seeing her eyes widen in shock before she took off down the halls. I shook my head before I turned to face Giratina before I felt a shadow move near me making me widen my eyes as a shadow ball struck my back making me get flown forward before ending up face down on the floor, I knew my clothes were nothing but tattered garments at this point so I sighed as I stood up shakily. My eyes focusing on the form before me. I took of my mask slowly before I threw it the side staring Darkrai down with anger seeing her step back in fear before I turned into my dark form again.
The runes that were once a dark purple were now glowing a deep, dark, crimson blood red. I smirked as I blended into the shadows immediately appearing behind her before I struck her in the back with a punch before disappearing again. I took my time enjoying the fear she displayed before I took a position in the shadow of the roof. I saw her look around frantically before I smirked and began to laugh lightly before I changed position. This repeated until she flew her hands up to cover where her ears would be as I only laughed louder seeing that Zekrom and Giratina had stopped fighting as Moltress appeared with Arceus in tow. "He was here I swear." Moltress said making me smirk as I remained silent. I saw Arceus look around before turning to Moltress.
"Moltress, you've been stressed out for too long. Maybe it's getting to you. Take some time to rest." She said making me smirk before I saw her look directly at me before winking quickly making me nod in her direction as well. "How do you explain the cut then?" Moltress demanded making Arceus shrug her shoulders. "You could have attempted to try and trick me. I don't see him anywhere. And unless he can turn invisible himself then I don't know if what you say is true." Arceus replied before I saw Chains walk out of the room before she looked at Moltress before hardening her glare. "Shit." I muttered under my breath before I saw Chains walk forward bowing to Arceus before she pushed past Moltress. I looked at her fleeting form before I followed her seeing where she was headed.
I sighed as I appeared in my quarters still seeing everything there the way it was. I heard the door open making me jump back to avoid a slash aimed at my neck. (Can she stop this?) I asked In my mind as Chains swiped at me again before feeling my mask get hit making my head get whipped to the side with the force of the blow. I felt her grasp the mask tightly. "Let's find out who you are to think you can taunt me." She said making me sigh. "I'm sorry." I said before I punched her hard in the temple seeing her crumple to the floor unconscious. I sighed as I looked at her before I felt the teleportation again making me relax before I went with it closing my eyes as the teleportation began. I opened my eyes to see that I was back home with the young Pokémon glancing at me as I removed the mask and sighed.
"Are you okay mister?" I heard the growlithe ask making me smile at her before I knelt down to look at her better. "Yes I'm fine; I just have a lot on my mind." I said before the three Eevee's walked up to me. "Can you tell us why you wear that mask sir?" One of the Eevee's asked making me nod in response before I looked at them all as they gathered round to hear the story. "I wear the mask because it helps protect who I am, so that the ones that captured you don't have a face to look for. I wear it so that you can remain safe. I promised myself that I would no longer let them get away with what they were doing to young ones similar to you all over the world. I want to save them all but that is something even I cannot do; you cannot save everyone and protect them at the same time. Now as to how I got the mask idea. That's a different story."
Flashback.
I stared at the wall of the cell I was hold in. Waiting for something to happen to at least provide some sort of entertainment. "He's in here." Came a known voice making me turn sharply seeing the leader of magma staring coldly at me. "What do you want? Come to gloat on your victory wench?" I snarled as she came to the cell door with a Taser in hand. I stared at the Taser already knowing what was coming before she entered the cell silently. I went to move but the chained restraints still held firm as I glared at her. "You seem scared. Good, this makes it more enjoyable." She said before she pressed the Taser to the skin on my abdomen before she pushed the button sending electricity coursing through my veins making me grit my teeth in agony.
I held my breath until she stopped and pulled back slightly. The Taser leaving a purple bruise from the arcs of electricity that had danced across the skin. "Are you sure you don't know anything?" She asked me making me sigh as I stared at her. "Alright, what you do is go down to the centre. Ask them for something called Viagra, and it will help you go fuck yourself." I spat at her before I burst into a laughing fit after seeing her face darken in anger. "I haven't seen someone so self-ignorant as you." She snarled before she placed the Taser is on my chest before she pushed the button again making my back arch as I grit my teeth again. I felt my vision going dark as the Taser was pulled from my skin. "Let's just say I didn't know anything, you still would kill me."
My words came out as whispers as my vision darkened as I let unconsciousness take me. I awoke an unknown amount of time later seeing them still there making me think I had only been out for a few minutes until a hard, blunt object collided with the side of my head splitting it open before I saw it was a broomstick shaft. "Done sleeping?" She asked me making me glare at her before I smirked and merely shrugged in response. "Lost your voice? No matter, your friend will tell us everything." She said making me widen my eyes slightly until they brought in a Zoroark that looked at me with confusion before I knew that it didn't know anything. "You're sick, you know that?" I said sarcastically before the shaft connected with my jawline making me hiss in pain.
"You didn't lose your voice then. Well, this pathetic use of trash is of no use to us." She said before I felt the chains disappear from around my hands only to find myself staring through a mask seeing them all back away in fear. I smiled as I walked forward seeing the Zoroark's eyes widen in both shock and fear as the hallway began to echo with faint screams. I listened to the screams letting out a demonic humming sound in my throat as if I were trying to calm the screaming within the hall. I saw their faces turn to me with all the blood in their faces disappearing leaving their faces a pasty white with wide eyes. I smiled under the mask before I began to raise my hands to my chest in a type of prayer. I began moving my feet so they were shoulder length apart before I lowered my head.
"Payback's a bitch isn't it?" I asked rhetorically seeing them all begin to kneel down in plead. I went to the leader of magma before I felt my eyes travel to the Zoroark seeing its eyes were still holding fear making me look at them. "I will not taint an innocent's memory here by making the halls red with your blood as much as I would like to. But know that if you don't cease your activities I will come after you." I said seeing them all look at me with relief in their eyes before they all darted out of the room. I heard their footsteps echo through the hall as the sound of a door opening reached my ears I smiled and slowly took off the mask before turning to the Zoroark. "Pretend you never saw me." I said with a hardened glare seeing it nod its head as fast as it could before I smiled at it and put on the mask before I left the building.
End Flashback.
"That was a while ago, three years if I remember correctly." I said seeing them all look at me with sympathy before the growlithe nuzzled into my chest before speaking something I thought I would never hear directed at me. "Father don't worry. I owe you my life and I will follow through with it." She said making my eyes widen in both shock and horror at what she had said making me have to hold in my gasp before I spoke. "Young one, I know you may see me as a father figure but I have taken lives. I have been a bad man for a long time. While nothing would please me more I can't taint something so innocent such as you." I said in a whisper before she pulled back slightly to look me in the eyes. "Father, if you have done as you said you must have had a good reason for it. You're not all bad and I can see that."
Her words made a single tear leave my eye as I heard those words. I looked at her feeling my heart ache with an emotion I thought was long buried. I smiled at her seeing her slowly smile back before she tackled me to the floor again making me let out a chuckle as she did. "Alright. You win, but I need your original name if you truly want me to be your father." I said seeing her eyes widen as she began to cry in joy before she managed to speak, although it was almost inaudible. "Sally." She said making me sigh in happiness at the name. "Seems fitting for such a beautiful girl like you Sally." I said seeing her bury her head into my chest with her tail wagging happily making me sigh again as I heard Amy sigh in the doorway. I turned my head to look at her to see her look at us with a smile on her lips.
I smiled back at her seeing her turn away with a slight blush on her cheeks before I heard another knock on the door. "I'll get it." I said seeing Sally get off me with a small wine making me smile at her. "I won't be long." I said seeing her nod before I walked to the front door before cracking it open slightly. "Can I help you?" I asked lowering my voice as I saw a young girl with red hair standing there with what would be her mother who had the same hair colour. Except her eyes were a ruby red while her daughters were a brown in colour. It took me a second to realize who they were before I laughed lightly. "Come in." I said in my normal voice before opening the door fully seeing the girl stare at me before looking behind me. I saw her form a scowl on her face before the mother spoke up.
"Leone. We understand you wish to stay here but you are needed in the hall. I'm sorry to say that this is your last warning, one more visit here and it will be to drag you there by force." She spoke before I glared at her. "You banish me; rip me of my champion title, my two friends and liege. And don't stay true to your three month punishment sentence. It's been five fucking years. For all I really care. Rachel is the only one besides my fa- Zekrom who cares that I'm still here. I belong here. And you have what right to threaten to take me from whatever family I have here?" I demanded seeing her flinch at the anger in my voice before she sighed before the girl spoke up. "You couldn't get anyone here before. How could you have anything resembling a family now?"
Those words made my anger begin to boil over the edge making my fists clench and a demonic growl to emanate from my throat before flowing past my lips as my lips curled into a demonic smile as I felt my eyes darken seeing them step back in fear. "The family I have now I have had for the five years I've been here. So don't threaten to take me away from them unless you want to die because I will not stop until I find a way to do that. So before I decide to try out some methods I just thought of. Get out of my sight." I snarled seeing them get enveloped in a white glow before they vanished from site. I breathed heavily trying to calm down staring at where they were before I felt a tail go around my ankle before I saw it was Sally who was looking at my clenched hands with worry.
"Father who were they?" She asked making me sigh as I began to calm down at her voice. "They wanted me to leave you to become who I once was. I don't want to leave you alone Sally. Especially since you have just become a daughter in my eyes." I said while I kneeled down to embrace her. As we embraced another white light appeared before me and Latias stood there again with a bastard sword in her hand, it's blade was a ruby red making me push Sally behind me as I stood up to my full height to fight. "You left me no choice Leone. Hand her over." She said before holding the sword in a grip ready to fight making me look at Sally with regret. "Sally, run inside. Run inside and Amy will protect you. I'll come see you soon. I promise." I said seeing her shake as she did as I said.
I kept my eyes trained on the sword until I felt my hands get restrained behind me making me struggle fiercely before Zekrom's voice reached my ears. "Son calm down. Please. She won't feel a thing." He said making me grip his own hands tightly as I glared at Latias. "For a guardian you're more of a destroyer. She is young, hasn't reached an age worthy of death taking her. I'm begging you not to do this." I said seeing Latias look at the sword before bringing it up to my neck. "I am a guardian, she will distract you, and she will weaken who you are." Latias began before I felt Zekrom let me go making me grab Latias' sword out of reflex And stepping in before I punched her as hard as I could in the forehead seeing her eyes widen in pain as she yelled briefly before I planted my left foot behind her own feet before I threw her over it.
I stared down at her form as I looked at her sword before gripping it in both hands before I raised the sword before throwing it hearing it thunk into a tree a couple of yards away. I stared down at her before I whipped around to Zekrom who was looking at me with both respect and sadness. "They did it to me Leone. They were going to kill you if I didn't plead to Arceus who made an exception." He said making me growl. "But I'm no longer a champion the rules should not apply to me. I have not been a champion for five fucking years. And I get a small happiness in this world and it always gets either killed or taken from me in some other way. Brother, dead, mother, dead, father, killed, friends, left me to die. Did Arceus plan for me to find only friendship in the hall making me want to stay there?"
My question caught him off guard before I saw Sally running towards me. I darted my vision towards her as she was picked up in a psychic aura before her head was forced to face the sky. I looked at her with a growing fear in my stomach as the bastard sword was brought closer to her neck. I was then restrained by Zekrom as the sword dragged across her neck making my eyes widen as Sally's crimson blood ran down her body before dripping off her to the ground. I saw her body get tossed to the side as Latias stood over me. "Where is this Amy?" She demanded making me glare at her with my eyes darkening quickly as I felt strength building inside me. "Fine, keep him there Zekrom, I'll find her myself." She said before I felt the rage consume my mind entirely making me let out a demonic roar.
I saw her whip around towards me as I threw Zekrom off me before I raised my hand and lifted Latias off the ground in a dark psychic aura before I slammed her face first into the ground. I growled in anger as I brought her back up before bringing her to stare at my eyes before I threw her into a tree hearing her yell in pain as I began tightening the grip of the aura seeing it begin to work as she began to cough up blood harshly as I let out a chuckle. "You forced me to do this Latias. Though I won't lie and say I don't feel good doing this." I whispered before I picked up her sword before I drew her closer to me slowly. Wanting to see her face as she died by her own device. I watched as the tip of the sword was placed at her stomach I saw her eyes widen in fear as I forced her head to face the sky before I brought the sword up to her neck.
"Seem familiar?" I asked her seeing her try and look at me only to have me tighten my grip on her hearing her shriek of pain brought a demonic smile to my lips as I looked at her. "Now I will kill you as many times as I see fit for your crime of murdering something so young. Have you no regret? No shame? I'll tell you right now, if you ever take another life I will find you and I will do this again until you learn to stay dead." I said before I swiped the blade across her neck hearing her gurgle in pain as her blood squirted onto my shirt before running down her body and dripping to the floor. I turned around to run to pick up Sally's head in my hands seeing her breathing slightly making me cry as she focused on me. "Fa-father?" She asked in pained gasps making me put a finger over her lips.
"I'm so sorry Sally. I'm so sorry. I should have done something, I could have done something. I'll make sure she pays though. You didn't deserve this." I said seeing her shake her head. "We all die eventually. Some just younger than others. Don't blame yourself Father." She said making me smile at her as I lightly embraced her kissing her forehead gently as she wrapped her front paws around my shoulders in a hug. I smiled trying to show her a happy parting gift while tears began to flow down my cheeks before I heard Latias gasp in pain as she looked at me. We locked eyes as I stared at her feeling rage enter me again before Zekrom stood in between us. He said something to Latias making her nod before she used her psychic to bring the sword to her grasp.
I looked at her before she made the sword stick into the ground before looking at me. I picked Sally up in my arms as she began to cough up slight amounts of blood that still remained in her. The liquid landing onto my shirt and arms. I looked at them before I glanced at the sword in the ground with anger. "What is this?" I asked seeing Zekrom look at me with shock at the anger in my voice before he spoke. "It's something to remember her by. All I have to remember your mother is memories and you. Take it Leone." He said making me look at them before I felt Sally go limp in my arms as she died. "Why should I? Whenever I stare at the sword all I will think about is the time it ended her life. You two just killed her like she has been free this whole time. She was in that warehouse with the others. Longer than them even, and you felt that she couldn't be free."
My words made them both look at me in horror as I stepped back before I gently put the now lifeless body to the ground before I looked at the sword before I wrenched it out of the ground. "Take this back. I won't need it. And send Arceus my most sarcastic regards." I spat out seeing them look at me with horror as the words left my mouth. "Leone we're sorry, but you know we can't bring back the dead. Why hate the past." Latias said making me glare at her. "Because you ruined more than just her life." I said stepping back after I slammed the sword into the ground at my feet before I stepped back and got into a fighting stance. "Leone rethink this." Zekrom said as I turned my head to look at him. "And you forgot and forgave them easily? After ending her life you just forgave them? Then we're nothing alike."
My words made him stare at me before his sword was in his grip. "You don't know what you're doing." He said as I glared at him before drawing Kuirikara. "I know exactly what I'm doing, I'm defending her last memories as well as everyone else that has wrongfully fallen." I said seeing him stare at me before I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I turned I saw it was Reshiram. He had a pure white mace in his grasp as he stood by my side. I smiled at him and nodded in thanks. "You take Latias, I've got my brother." Reshiram spoke making me nod as I looked at Latias who had her sword at her side ready to fight as Reshiram leapt into action. I smirked as I slowly walked towards Latias seeing her eyes widen at my slow advance before she charged at me.
I looked at her as she did so making me smile at her before I raised Kuirikara blocking her slash effortlessly as I side step spun while slashing her back across her wings hearing her shriek in pain before I landed a snap cut to her back making it look like it had a cross in her back that I knew would scar her. I saw her eyes widen as she looked at me over her shoulder as I punched her in the side of her jaw sending her head to the side with the fierce of the punch before I brought Kuirikara to block a slash attempted by Zekrom. Our blades met and suddenly I felt my energy get renewed as I had to jump over Zekrom to avoid a slash attempted by Latias. I landed and rolled away from the two before I saw Moltress waiting for me as I was forced to lie flat on my back and black her thrust with my hand feeling my palm get cut by her blade.
I attempted to remove the blade by eventually I felt something jab into the side of my neck making my eyes begin to close as I stared into Moltress I saw her smirk in victory as my grip lessened allowing her blade to move forward. I glanced once more back at the house to see them all just staring at me too scared to help which I understood. I looked back into the sky seeing a cloud begin to cover the area making me sigh as I felt Moltress stab through me. I felt the pain dulling each second as the drug took effect making my eyes close and my hands to fall at my sides as I finally lost consciousness. I awoke in my quarters in the hall making me dart up looking around before I saw Chains was asleep next to me with a contempt smile on her face.
I stared at her seeing her eyes begin to open before they darted open at looking at me before she leapt and hugged me tightly. "Leone are you alright?" Chains asked me noticing I wasn't returning the hug. "Where are they?" I asked her with anger creeping into my voice. "Where are who Leone?" She asked making me sigh in annoyance. "Either Latias, Zekrom and or Moltress. Where are they?" I asked her seeing her look at me. "Leone why are you so angry?" She asked as I glared at her. "Just answer the question. Where, are, they?" I asked again seeing her lean back in shock before she lowered her head. "They are in a meeting. All champions are there. I didn't go because it hurt too much." She admitted as I nodded slightly. "Right, thank you. Now please, enjoy the rest of your sleep. I'm sorry I woke you."
My words made her look at me suspiciously before I opened the door and stepped out closing the door behind me. I sighed as I glared down the hall. I began walking towards the meeting area coming to a stop at the doors as I heard them discussing the war that was happening. Deciding to make myself known I pushed the doors open roughly before summoning Kuirikara glaring at the legendary Pokémon seeing Latias shrink back in fear while Zekrom grew fearful as I approached the centre of the room. "So you're awake." Arceus said with sorrow in her voice before I felt golden chains clamp around my wrists. "You took her form me. Are you all demons in disguise?" I practically yelled into the air glaring at every single one of them. "She was a risk, what if they had a psychic take hold of her mind and make her kill you?"
Arceus' words made me snap in her direction as I pulled out the mp3 player before playing –The hunter and his prey. Written by me, of course this is just a trail song but I thought it fit here. If it sounds familiar let me know because it sounds original to me.-
"Allow me to show you
the rage deep within
It bubbles ever closer
to taking control again
I feel the bloodlust coming
It's time to atone.
Oh i hear him calling.
He's asking for your soul.
Chorus
You think you're special
to me you're just an obstacle.
You think you're something else.
To me you don't know anything.
Everything collapses around you.
I hear your cry for help.
But honestly i could care less.
You took my heart and tore it.
Expect the same to happen to you.
End Chorus.
He's coming closer
I hear his feet echoing
He knows what you did
and he knows what must be done.
You must feel fear before passing.
Because what you felt before doesn't come close.
To what he can do to you.
Chorus.
You think you're Special
to me you're just an obstacle.
You think you're something else.
To me you don't know anything.
Everything collapses around you.
I hear your cry for help.
But honestly i could care less.
You took my heart and tore it.
Expect the same to happen to you.
End Chorus.
Honestly you lasted this long.
It's something to be proud of.
But if you can just stop running now.
For now he's nearby.
Onto your scent.
Hunting you down.
Like everyone like you should be.
You're his prey.
His next meal.
So just give up.
Give in and surrender.
For it's over now."
The song finished leaving them all staring at me making me realize I had sung it myself. I saw Arceus tear up as I saw them all start to move forward before I let Kuirikara fall to the floor in a clutter of noise before I stared at Arceus before I turned around to stare at them all. "Five years I was down there. Five fucking years and I did more work than all of you combined did in the past decade. I was something they could believe in. And you ruin the thing that could help me in the end. She wasn't even a teenager. And yet you felt the need to end her life without giving me any real idea of what to do afterwards. You threaten me to come back here when you had all forgotten about me. I waited sixty months. One thousand eight hundred and twenty five days I waited for any info on my position. You know what, forget it. You all have different views of being good than I do."
And that's what writing and listening to music does to you people. Again the song was written by me and if I could claim it as my own here I would. If you want music to it then read the lyrics and put them into context of the story scene and imagine what it would sound like. I really enjoyed writing it though, so I might add some more songs in here but only you guys can tell me that. I would put them in if you want them in if you can use your imagination. And just so you know Sally did die but if by popular demand they want her back I shall hint at her revival. So her fate as well as my song writing which might seem terrible is in your hands. Until next time. Peace.
