Chapter Six: "Discussions"/Hallway Problems
"Wait!" the gray haired girl and the black haired girl shouted to Ace. "We need to talk to you"
"I don't care" said Ace. "You stalked me here to tell me something that really doesn't matter."
"Wait!" the two tried again. "We have something very important to tell the five of you."
The five legendaries looked at their visitors with confusion. The four girls steadied themselves and resumed talking.
"We're your children" the black haired girl said ominously.
There was an awkward silence in the room as the five legendaries stared at the newcomers. The thoughts going through their heads were jumbled as these three words made them all question the actions they had partaken in over the past few years.
"Let us explain." The blue-blonde said, launching into a story.
"We are from nineteen years in the future. Our ages are sixteen. My name is Dana Cresentburst. I am the combination of the genes of May and Sapphire Cresentburst in a cloning experiment. I came out defective, but was rescued by Ace Hunter and Shadow Darkstar Hunter, father and mother of Skyla and Destiny Hunter."
Dana pointed to the gray haired girl and the black haired girl, Skyla and Destiny respectively.
"Skyla and Destiny are the daughters of Ace Hunter and Shadow Darkstar. They were born twins and share formes with their parents, however their power is small compared to them. The other girl here is Flare, the daughter of Eon Multius and an unknown father. She shares the traits of Eon in terms of forme."
"So me and Ace have twins?" Shadow asked, causing both her and Ace to blush as deep red as Ace's scarf. Everyone else tried to see the similarities with their children, finding many.
"Why are you here?" Ace asked, his curiosity piqued.
"We're here to warn you." Destiny said. "about the death of the Legendary Council."
"Death?" the five of them shouted.
"Wait" Ace said, confused. "If you're here to warn us of the death of the entire Council, then why not tell the entire Council so we can prepare?"
"We were about to." Skyla said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "But we wanted to see you guys first. To see our parents for what they were like before the Great Annihilation."
"Great Annihilation?" the five legends asked, shocked that their deaths were that great.
"The entire Council dies in this event." Flare said. "The earth would die in a matter of years."
"Let's go to Arcey and tell her and the rest of the Council this." Ace said. The four girls agreed and they walked to tell Arcey. She had an alarmed look on her face as she called an emergency meeting of the entire Hall of Origins in addition to the meeting from earlier. The legends gathered, murmurs going around about what the meeting could be about.
In the Meeting Hall
"We are in this meeting" Arcey began. "to hear what these four young women have to say"
"Who are they?" Giratina asked, being one to choose his allies carefully.
"They are the daughters of Ace, Shadow, Eon, May, and Sapphire." Arcey said. All the legendaries gasped in shock at the revelation.
"But Ace is nineteen!" Entei shouted, his fiery hair going in his face. "And the rest of them too!"
"We're from the future." Skyla said. "About nineteen years into the future"
"A future" Dana cut in "where a very evil man named Enviro (in-vie-ro) rules the universe with an iron fist."
"How did this happen?" Rayquaza asked, horrified that the legendaries, the most powerful beings on the planet, possibly the universe could be beaten.
"And more importantly" Ace said, half serious. He was drinking an orange soda, his favorite. "Enviro?"
"That is the name we refer to him as." Flare said, shivering a little. "His real name is truly terrifying. We were told never to use it."
"His name is Zygarde" Skyla said boldly. Ace spit out his drink as Arcey, Eon, Shadow, May, Sapphire, Giratina, the Lake Trio, and the Legendary Beasts to gasp in horror at the mention of the name of the most feared being in the universe. He had frightened all the other plants in the solar system into fleeing to search for new homes. Arcey's great grandfather had sealed him away when he created the earth, but after fifteen thousand years his seals had to be weakening. Maybe he was free already. However only Ace, Arcey, Eon, Shadow, and Giratina knew both where he was sealed and whether or not he lived. Well, the secret was out now.
"He broke free and attacked the legendaries in the year 20XD." Dana said, shuddering at the memory of the event. "The other legendaries had been wiped out by his clone army."
"Wait" Ace said interrupting. "20XD is eight years from now. Why come this soon?"
"The clone army" Flare said. "They took out most of the Council and Zygarde took out the remaining ones, besides Ace Hunter and Eon Multius."
"What about Shadow?" Ace asked.
"She was killed by the clones." Flare replied
"Clones?" Ace asked. "That sounds so cliché."
"Cliché or not" Skyla said. "They attacked and killed seventy five percent of the legendaries. Enviro killed the others, save Ace and Eon, who hid the four of us and trained us."
"How did you get back to the past?" Dialga asked. "If both myself and Cela were killed, then how did you two manage time travel?"
"Eon helped us" Dana explained. "She gathered a lot of energy and used her god powers to create a portal. Ace aided her to guide us to this point in time. We chose this time because it was before the Anti-Legends attacked you and killed you. We were sent so as not to disrupt the time-space continuum, you know, so there's not two of someone here."
"So these clones" Mewtwo asked, having experience with clones (you know, being one and all). "Are they us?"
"Yes" the four girls. "They are you in almost every way, save that they are stronger than you."
"Ha" Ace scoffed. "They aren't stronger than us!"
"But they are" the girls cried out in desperation to be believed.
"They can't be." Ace said. "Even if Zygarde got our DNA, he couldn't get every aspect of us. If we wear restrictive seals, then he would only get our current power. I have Arcey knows how many seals in my body restricting my power. Shadow's Synchronize ability synched with me permanently, so however strong I get, she gets. Plus Bianca just Mega Evolved, so that would be unexpected for Zygarde or his sh!tty clone army."
The rest of the room gasped. Bianca? One of the lower legendaries? Mega Evolved?
"She fused with Latios' spirit" Ace explained. "Zygarde can't get that copied no matter how hard he tries. Plus, she has now entered the top ten."
The Hall gasped again. Legendaries banged their fists on the table. Some tried to shift to poke-forme to challenge the fact. Ace started speaking again, putting any opposition to rest.
"She's a member of the top ten." He said, gazing around the room with a look that said: I f$%&ing dare you to test me on that. The other legendaries got the hint and the arguments ceased. Ace continued with his story.
"She fought the king of Alto Mare and Mega Evolved." He said. "Her power skyrocketed, but the only reason the king survived was because he used endure. Without that he would have been dust."
"But how does that put her in the top ten?" Arcey asked, confused.
"Her power level read fifteen million" Ace said, putting any doubts of her being powerful to rest. "She even used Eon Force Destruction."
Arcey gasped in shock. She had been trying to get Bianca to learn that move properly for a while. But in the spur of the moment while mega evolved, she had not only used it to battle, but to beat the king of Alto Mare, who Arcey remembered was an Aggron, who was even older than her (A/N: in this fic Arcey didn't create the world-her great grandfather, Arceo did—Arcey is the fourth god of earth (and only about forty (the other legendaries(besides Giraina who is her age) are in their teens) They aren't the original legendary council, but Arcey's chosen council—every god chooses their council).
"It was f#$%ing awesome!" Ace shouted excitedly. "I couldn't have done it better myself."
"So?" said Uxie, adjusting his glasses he wore to seem smarter. "It's not like she could stand up to Palkia or anything."
"Shut the Arceydamned motherf#$%ing hell UP, Uxie!" Ace shouted, about to jump the table to pound the psychic type.
"Ace, no killing Uxie" Arcey said, shooting a Judgement at Ace, who TANKED it and jumped the table. Eon grabbed him and pulled him off of Uxie, who was screaming for Arcey and at least five other deities to come help get the dark type off of him.
"Ace, remember our code of conduct." Arcey said before remembering just who she was talking to.
"Ace, don't brutally murder him" Arcey said, compromising her earlier statement. Realizing that it wouldn't help she jumped in to prevent Ace from shoving his fist down Uxie's throat. Even in human forme, Ace was a very formidable opponent, able to tank almost any one of the legendaries' attacks. Soon other legendaries joined in too, some fighting with Ace and some trying to stop him. Even non-violent legendaries such as Mina and Bianca joined in, this being almost a regular thing. Soon the meeting room turned into a war zone, attacks flying left and right. The only thing preventing the Hall from crumbling under the force of the attacks was its special space-time seal Palkia and Dialga had made for it. The seal prevented the Hall from suffering damages and kept it clean as well.
Suddenly Entei shifted into his poke-forme and launched a massive Flamethrower attack at Ace who dodged it, shifting into his poke-forme. One by one all of the legendaries shifted and continued their battle. Ace shot Dark Voids and Dark Pulses at everybody, some hitting, some not. Palkia tore space to shreds while Dialga f#$%ed time up so bad it forced everyone's attacks out at random speeds. Arcey launched a volley of judgements until Ace knocked her lights out with a power punch infused with Aura Sphere (in this fic one can be trained to use moves they normally wouldn't be able to—Roar of Time, Spatial Rend, and Judgement are excluded from this (Ace can use Shadow Force due to his immense shadow powers)). Cela used a huge Leaf Storm to slice up some of the legendaries. Shadow even used a gigantic Moonblast to deal damage to about fifty percent of the room. Eon used her Flame Slash (Fire type Slash) to deal some hurt.
The only legendaries not fighting were the newcomers (they were legendaries because they are direct descendants of actual legendaries). They watched the fray and discussed among themselves whether or not this group was actually capable of defending themselves if they couldn't even get along.
"Should we try to help them?" Dana asked her comrades. She was still unsure as to whether or not these guys could pull it together and focus on the mission. They hadn't been legendaries for very long (this is referring to Ace and the Council, not themselves) but they had shown some promise.
"Yes" Skyla said. "They are our parents' friends and allies. We should at least try to help them"
"I don't think that we could truly get them ready for this." Flare said. "They seem to have some capabilities. But—"
Her thought was interrupted by Shaymin in Sky Forme using her Seed Flare to cause a massive explosion. When the dust settled, the only three fighters still standing were Ace, Shadow and Eon, the Unholy Trinity as they were called in the murmurs of the Hall. The newcomers watched as the formes of Darkrai, an oddly colored Gardevoir (she was completely black, hence the name Shadow—she's not an ordinary Gardevoir (obviously) and this will be explained later on), and a Flareon with a blazing aura stood facing each other, itching for combat (except for Shadow, who wasn't as battle-eager as her two friends). The newcomers watched as Ace and Eon lunged at each other, Night Slash and Blazing Slice cutting into each other. They turned around and started shooting energy bolts at each other, neither of them getting a hit. Ace moved in quick for a Dark Punch to Eon's face, but she countered with a Fire Punch. Ace then dodged and used Blaze Kick on Eon, which her Flash Fire ability nullified. However the force of the kick was great enough to knock her back into the wall, where she slid down the wall, dazed.
Ace shifted back into human forme and walked over to Shadow, who had also shifted back. She gave him a hug of congratulations, which caused him to fall over, her landing on top of him. The two of them blushed at this and stared at each other for a while.
"She's not the right colors" Flare said.
"You know why" Skyla said. "She's not an ordinary Gardevoir."
"Oh" Flare said. "I remember now"
"I like your highlights" Ace said. He had just noticed that Shadow's black hair had green highlights, giving it a partial Gerdevoirish look.
"Thanks" she said, turning a deeper shade of red, her internal temperature rising. "I got them a couple weeks ago, before the Yveltal incident"
"How the hell did I not notice that?" Ace said, his body temperature rising.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of singing from a familiar source.
"Ace and Shadow, sitting in a tree, K-I-S—" was all that was heard before Eon, who had quickly recovered from the hit she had suffered, shot a massive Flamethrower at the two Reality legends, who fainted from the blast. Ace and Shadow continued to stare at each other until Skyla cleared her throat very loudly.
"If you're done with your gushy romance" she said, crossing her arms. "We need to discuss a plan of attack to stop these clones."
"Here's one" Ace said, still under Shadow. "We just go about our normal lives."
"You can't just treat this as if it's no big deal!" Dana shouted at him. "This is serious!"
"Well" said Ace "If we just don't panic over this and train like normal, we can still win."
"How?!" Dana practically screamed at him.
"I haven't broken my seals yet" said Ace. "So they won't be on that level. Also Shadow's Synchronize ability lets her be on the same level as me. Eon hasn't opened the Eon Gate, so she's still less than ten percent of her power. Bianca just Mega Evolved, so she's at least ten times a powerful as she was, putting her in the top ten. They probably won't expect this and we'll have an advantage."
"But what if they do?" Skyla asked Ace very seriously. "What if they are ready for you? How will you beat them then?"
"We'll fight them to our dying breaths!" shouted Dialga proudly. The rest of the legendaries chimed in, voicing their pride and courage.
"Trust me Skyla" Ace said, giving his daughter a look that said: 'do you even need to question us?'. "We're legendaries. We will face ANY challenge that comes our way! We may have our differences, but when it comes down to it, we will face and confront our enemies with confidence!"
"They'll kill you!" Flare said, pleading. "Please do something!"
"Maybe they will" said Ace, standing up. "Maybe they'll kill us. Maybe they'll cut us up and burn our bodies. But you know what? Who FUCKING cares?! We will fight them. We'll take on your cone army and meet them head on. We will fight together because we…ARE…LEGENDARIES! There is an unwritten code we all live by: No matter the pain, no matter the enemy, no matter the power, no matter the number, no matter the disadvantages, no matter the loss, no matter the pain, we fight as one. We are a team, a council, a FAMILY! We defend this world! We won't just stand by and allow some half-assed group of legend wannabes come in here and beat us."
Ace turned to the other legendaries, clearly wanting to pump up his speech.
"I'm going to fight!" he shouted, pumping his fist into the air. "Who's with me?!"
"WE ARE!" every legendary in the Hall' meeting room shouted in unison.
"I can't hear you!" Ace shouted, his point not having been made.
"WE ARE!" they shouted again, using Round and Hyper Voice for added effect.
"There" Ace said, looking back at his future daughter. "What does that tell you? Let your clone army come. We'll fight them until we can't fight anymore. We will fight as a team! Because when we fight as a team, neither heaven nor hell can stand in our way. We may not be the most powerful group, but when it all boils down, even our weakest fighters can step up and kick some major ass!"
"So, my friends," Ace said, turning back to the other legendaries. "I ask you one more time: Do you think we can lose?"
"NO!" all the legendaries shouted at once.
"Well, children, there's your answer" Ace said, addressing the newcomers once again. "You should have some faith in your parents and their team. We've handled powerful opponents in our days. This will be no different."
"So what's your strategy for handling the clones?" Skyla asked Ace.
"Go on with our everyday lives." Ace said. The newcomers and the other legendaries stared at the Dark type in shock.
"What are you suggesting?" Arcey asked, not being able to place her student's reasoning.
"I'm suggesting that we simply go on as normal, but just train a little more, to cover our weaknesses and teamwork." Ace replied. "That way we don't overwork ourselves and be exhausted whenever these clones arrive."
"That sounds reasonable" Arcey said. Turning to the newcomers she said: "If you're staying, we will provide rooms for you."
"We're not staying" Skyla said. "We need to return to our own time and help our parents. They are trying to rebuild the world after Zygarde's attack."
"Kind of reminds me of Terranigma" Ace muttered to himself.
"Yes it does." Eon said, having heard what she said.
The four girls stood together and a light flashed on them. They started to disappear, but not before Flare muttered something about "that impulsive dark type".
"I just realized something" Ace said as they left. "This is just like in Dragonite Z when Hitmonlee's son comes and warns the gang of the android's arrival three years later than that."
"Hey, you're right!" Eon exclaimed, realizing the similarities. "But they didn't have swords."
"So, let's get back to our normal lives" Arcey said. "Ace, Shadow, and Eon, that means you two will be returning to school. We will train after school each day. And if you are late, then double training and sparring."
Ace and Eon grinned at each other. They would take advantage of that on some days. Arcey rolled her eyes. She knew that they would purposefully stay out late just to take advantage of that rule.
"Hey, Eon?" Ace asked his orange haired friend. "When does the next Crobatman movie come out?"
"The Dark Flight is out tomorrow" Eon said, having read the release date earlier. "You, me, Shadow, and Kiria should go see it."
"If the Kecler is in it, then I'm definitely there." Ace said. "I always loved the Kecleon Prince of Crime was always my favorite villain."
"I know" Shadow said, walking up to Ace. "He just has that side of him that makes you want to keep watching, even though he's a complete psychopath."
"Like Mewtwo when he's bored." Ace joked. Mewtwo pumped his fist, giving a small "woohoo".
"Well, we should all get some sleep" Arcey said, clearing her throat. "We have a big day ahead of us."
"But, Arcey" Ace whined. "I don't wanna go to bed!" Eon, Dialga, Mina, and Cela joined in the whining, hoping their leader would back down. However their strategy had different results.
"You five are sounding like children" Arcey said. "Which means you will have to go to bed earlier."
"Oh F$%# no!" Ace shouted, half jokingly. "I don't think so!"
"What was that?" Arcey said, giving Ace a look that said: Come tell me that to my face.
"I said" Ace answered, reading her facial expression and meeting the challenge by actually getting in her face. "Oh…F#$%...NO!"
It was at this point that every other legendary (including Eon and Giratina) took about twenty steps back. They had known Ace to challenge certain aspects of Arcey's "motherhood and guardianship", but this would probably start a true fight between god and the closest being to a devil on the planet. Ace had deep respect for Arcey and would fight by her side on almost any occasion, but he still didn't fully agree with some of her rules (he wasn't a kiss up, just was loyal to his leader). However, Ace and Arcey had had their share of fights, some even spilling out into the outside world at the bottom of the hill (they referred to it as a mountain because it took forever to walk down) (and, to be fair, a couple of those fights were when Ace had lost all control of his power and emotions before Arcey put the seals in his body).
Arcey just stared at her Dark type group member in shock. He had never shown this level of defiance before. Not when he had full control of his emotions. She recovered, however, and anger replaced her shock. She reared back her hand to hit Ace (which wasn't child abuse because 1: Ace is nineteen, 2: Ace has TANKED far more powerful attacks than a slap before) and swung as hard as she could. Her shock returned when Ace emotionlessly caught her wrist in midair. He released it and walked back over to Eon and Shadow. The rest of the legendaries were waiting for the ball to drop and Arcey to go on an anime style fit of rage. Instead she looked hurt. Ace had never talked to her like that before. She felt odd, like she'd been punched in the stomach. She felt like crying. In fact, a single tear slowly started to make its way down her face.
Ace turned around and realized what the expression Arcey was making meant. However, he turned back around, walking out the door. The other legendaries were shocked that Ace would do such a thing. It was against his personality to not try to comfort someone crying, especially one of his close friends. Some of them looked at him in confusion and minor anger. These emotions dissolved, however, when they noticed a strand of shadowy darkness rise from the floor and wipe away the single tear that Arcey had shed and rub her shoulder.
In an unknown location
He woke up to the familiar surroundings of pure blackness. He looked at his hand. He could see it, but everything else around him looked black as night. He tried to find at least some sign of other life in his strange area. However, finding none, he sat down, exhausted. He wanted to sleep, but that had been deprived him for a long time. Ever since that time thirteen years ago. He felt a presence behind him. He turned around to find the only other being in this barren hell he seemed to be condemned to. The figure was made of pure shadow, completely black save long, white hair-like flames that spouted off of its head, one blue eye, and a blood red collaresque object around its neck. It glided over to him and grabbed his chin, looking him over. It didn't speak to him at all before, but this time it spoke in a voice similar to a demon's.
"You have aged well" it said. "I will have need of this body soon for my own purposes."
"Go to hell" he spat in the monster's face, his own black hair waving as he tried to gather energy.
"Look around you, boy!" it laughed, gesturing with its free hand. "You're already in hell. I'm just here to tell you that I'm about to take back what's rightfully mine."
"This is my body." He struggled in the grip of the monster. "You won't have it so easily."
"I'm already a part of you" it said, squeezing on his neck, forcing him to loosen his grip. "I have more power in here than you have out there. You may use my power, but I won't let you just take my abilities without my permission."
"I told you the last time" he said, struggling to inhale air. "I won't let you have my body"
"I am your GOD!" it shouted, emphasizing the last word. "Your power ultimately comes from me! Even those that came before you succumbed to my will after a while. Even the legendaries of Earth succumbed to me. What makes you think you can succeed where they failed?"
"I'm not like them" he said, his courage making it angry, evidenced by its eye turning blood red to match its collar. "I will never give in to you. You are nothing but a demon. A black hearted force of evil."
"And so are you." It said. "And so is your friend."
"Leave her out of this" he said, his eyes flashing.
"I will have both of you" it said. "I can take her now and it be painless or I can kill her in front of you and it be worse. Your choice."
"I will fight you to my dying breath." he said. "I will stop you."
"Big talk coming from a weakling that can't even control his own power." It taunted him.
"I won't let you take them or their planet." He said, choking a little.
"I grow tired of this conversation" it said, yawning a little. "You have resisted me for longer than them, I'll give you that. But, eventually you'll fall. And when you do I will RAVAGE this universe. I must admit that you have far more potential than they did, but even so, you are just a weak pawn in my greater plan."
"Get out of my head" he struggled against the hand around his throat. "I won't join you. I will find a way to defeat you."
"You know" it mused, releasing his throat. "I have similar talks with your friend, but she always says that you'll save her. Ha! You can't even save yourself."
"Leave" he said, mustering up the last of his power to shout in defiance. "NOW!"
"Fine" it said, creating a portal that was as black as it was. "But just remember, I only need one of you to fulfill my goals. I can take her as well."
It stepped through the portal, the portal shutting behind it. He dropped down to his knees and panted. He had resisted it once again. But how much longer could he do this? Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his head, like someone shouting in his ear. He jumped awake with a start, back in his own bed.
The next day
"Everybody up!" Arcey shouted, using Hyper Voice and Round to increase the loudness of her voice. Ace jumped with a start, knocking Maura off his bed (she refused to sleep anywhere else). He was sweating from his dream. He wiped it off so as not to cause suspicion and dressed himself, leaving his room. He and the other legendaries got up and made their way to the table to eat, some of them still in boxers and a t-shirt. Arcey was at the head of the table and beckoned them to sit down and eat. They sat down and got their cereal (sugary) and started eating. Before long, however, they had all finished and went to their normal duties, Ace, Shadow, and Eon heading to school.
At school
Ace, Shadow, and Eon walked down the hallway, stopping at their lockers. Eon's was farther down the hallway than Ace's and Shadow's. Ace put his books away, closed his locker, and walked around the corner in time to see five tough, thug looking characters surrounding Shadow. They were all wearing purple and had skulls on their jackets. Two of them had hats that made them look like they had extra heads. Ace started to walk over to them when a girl dressed like a Riolu ran up to them and started to shout at them.
Shadow's POV (this is my first FPV, so tell me if I should try to improve on it or just stop with it-if you like this style I'll try to work it into future chapters)
"Hmmm. Now what do I need for today?" I thought to myself. I grabbed all the books I would need and shut my locker. Ace's locker was around the corner from mine and when he was done we would head to class together. I had recently transferred into his Fight Class, both to fight and compete with Ace and Eon and also to train a little bit for the upcoming clone attack (that not even Arcey had any idea of the date it would happen). I had gotten a new uniform that I could wear for the class (provided it didn't burn like the last ones did (Eon is a Flareon after all)). I turned around to see a bunch of boys clad in purple. Some had on hats that made them look like they had an extra head. They all had skulls on their jackets. I figured that they were Koffing and Weezing based on their appearance (Weezing being the ones wearing the hats). They had expressions on their faces that I had only seen on more dangerous men.
I tried to walk past them, but they stopped me, blocking my way with their hands. I could have used Psychic on them to get them to move, but Arcey had told us to blend in as normal people. Ace had pretty much done the opposite by fighting Chopper and Eon had done similar things, but I wanted to at least remain as low-profile as I could. The leader grabbed my chin and started to reach for my breasts, and some of the others tried to follow suit. I grabbed his hand and removed it (remember my Synchronize ability is bonded to Ace, so I'm as strong as he is). He got very angry and reared back his hand to slap me. But before he could a familiar voice was heard as a friend of mine came to my rescue.
"You bullies" Kiria shouted at them. "Why are you harassing this poor girl? She hasn't done anything to you!"
"You wouldn't understand, shrimp." Said one of the Weezing boys. "We want her for some…activities."
I shuddered at the thought of that. One could only guess what he meant by activities, especially considering what he had already tried to do to me out in the open. There was no telling what these boys would do to me (or Kiria for that matter) in the "privacy" of their own homes or their lair or clubhouse.
"I'm not gonna let you do ungodly things to my friend" Kiria said, trying to pull their hands off of me. "You jerkwads can go home and pick on someone who can fight back."
"Well, little Riolu" the leader said to her. "You seem like you could fight back, so let's see if you're someone we should take."
He tried to grab her, but I created a shadow to hold him back. I could manipulate the shadows too, but I was nowhere near as good as Ace (granted, me not practicing that trait really doesn't help, but whatever). It slowed his hand down and he noticed it. He looked back at me and realized I was the one who was doing it. He turned around and tried to land a Mega Punch on me, but another shadow grabbed his hand, this time squeezing his hand until the sound of bones snapping was heard. I looked around and saw Ace walking up to us, the leader quickly realizing who he was, evidenced by the fear in his eyes. Ace calmly walked up to me and Kiria, the rest of the gang members too frozen to do anything. The leader tried to muster up some anger and hit him with his other fist, but Ace caught it and landed a kick to his head that would have made Moka Akashiya jealous. Kiria's jaw dropped as he flew to the other side of the hall and into a row of lockers.
"So" he said, a glare on his face. "Who's next?"
Hall of Origins (third person)
"Dammit, Ace!" Arcey exclaimed as she pounded the table with her fist. She had watched what Ace had just done to the Wheez&Koff gang.
"What?" Dialga asked, walking up to Arcey and getting a cup of coffee from the pot.
"Ace just got into another fight!" Arcey exclaimed, pulling on her hair a little.
"Well, with Ace it's not really a fight" Dialga joked. "More like a punch. Those guys probably deserved it"
"Well, they did" Arcey admitted. "They were harassing Shadow and Kiria. The leader almost touched Shadow's breasts."
"Oh, sh!t!" Dialga exclaimed. "I'll bet Ace gave him a Moka kick to the face"
"He did." Arcey said. "I think he was being merciful."
"No sh!t!" Dialga said, the sarcasm clear in her voice. "He never stood for harassment, especially with his friends. If that guy tried to touch Shadow's breasts, then he's lucky that a kick is all Ace did to him."
"I just hope that this doesn't bring more negative consequences to him" Arcey said.
Pokemorph High School Gymnasium
"Hunter! Darkstar! You're late!" Mr. Champ shouted at the two friends as they walked into their class. "Darkstar, you I will excuse this time because this is your first time in this class. But it won't happen again."
"Yes sir" Shadow said and joined the line.
"Had a little run-in with the Wheez&Koff gang." Ace said to his teacher as he walked over to the line of students.
"How many bones did you break?" Mr. Champ asked, knowing what Ace meant by "run-in".
"Hand, face, and miscellaneous." Ace tallied.
"Reason?" Mr. Champ asked, getting an accident report form.
"Harassment" Ace said, disgust coming across his face. "Of Shadow and Kiria"
"That's all" Mr. Champ said, finishing the form. "Get ready for full contact sparring."
Ace grinned as he ran over to where Shadow and Eon were. Eon and Ace exchanged high fives. Full contact sparring was their favorite activity in fight class. Shadow, on the other hand, looked nervous (not for herself, but for whatever unfortunate soul that had to go up against Ace or Eon). Mr. Champ looked over the list of fighters in his class. This was the hardest part, deciding who would go up against who. Ace and Eon were the top two fighters in the class, but when they fought each other, they nearly destroyed everything.
"The worst part about it is" Mr. Champ thought to himself. "That they don't leave human forme."
He looked over his list one more time and realized that he had a new student in his class (besides Shadow). He had noticed her on the way into the gym earlier. She was a bit quiet, but she hated stereotyping of women and had told him so as she walked into the class. She seemed very capable, but Mr. Champ couldn't fully determine that due to the lack of aura reading capabilities. He decided to test her skills in a match against a decent fighter in the class. He looked down at his list to find all of his fighters already paired up except one.
"Dammit" he cursed to himself. "I paired up everyone else before I realized she was here. Now I have to pair her up with one of the higher ranked fighters."
Ace walked over to Chopper and fist bumped him. The two friendly rivals started a casual conversation.
"We need to talk" Ace said.
"What about?" Chopper asked, confused.
"Later" Ace said. "Get the others and meet me at my place."
"Mira's sick" Chopper said. "Conner's taking care of her."
"Fine, then" Ace said. "We'll meet at her place and talk. This is really important."
"Okay" Chopper said. "But don't judge her."
"I don't judge" Ace said flatly. "But this is of vital importance. It needs to be discussed today"
"Fine" Chopper said. "But don't say I didn't warn you"
"Hunter!" Mr. Champ called. "You're up first."
"Sweet!" Ace said, stepping up to the mat.
"Try to keep it on the mat" Mr. Champ said. "Oh, who am I kidding? Just don't rack up a death toll."
"Kay" Ace said as his opponent stepped up to the mat. She had long green hair that went down below her waist. It had several blue spots in it that seemed natural to it. She had music note earrings that reflected the light of the gym. She wore a brown short dress and gloves with white pants. She seemed to be wearing an earpiece that had a microphone attached to it.
"Hunter" Mr. Champ said, sighing. "This is your opponent."
"Don't treat me like an inferior being." She shouted. "I am just as capable of fighting as you are. I am on par with the legendaries."
At this the entire room gasped. On par with legendaries? Such a thing was unheard of for a child. The only things on par with legendaries were demons and angels, but they rarely came near Earth. Could this girl be one of them?
"We'll see about that." Ace said, smirking, knowing that if this girl wasn't all talk, then she would be a very fun challenger.
"What's your name, before we begin the fight" he said. "My name is Ace Hunter."
"Remember my name well, Darkling" the girl said. "For it will be the name of the girl who beats you."
"Again" Ace said. "We'll see. Now what's your name?"
"My name" she said, getting into a battle pose. "Is Melody"
Just a side note: I have the concept art for the three protagonists: Ace, Shadow, and Eon. A friend of mine drew them and they look awesome. If you would like to see them, it is on deviantart. I use the same username, so it's not confusing.
