Hello everyone, sorry for the wait, I've been doing a few things all over the place, and this chapter is one I'm trying to do right, because it's one I've been waiting to do for a while.
I've also been working on a side Project. It's a side story called White Dragon's Case: The Crimson Love Letter Story, it's a Case Closed and my The Black and White Dragon Prince story crossover. I go into more details in chapter 32 of The Black and White Dragon Prince story, so you can check out the details there.
Another reason this took a while is that this is a chapter I've been waiting to do for a while, and I wanted to do it right, you'll see what I mean in a second.
Now another thing, someone asked me if I could do persona story, and I started to think about it, then I came up with an idea of a Persona 4 X Pokemon Ranger Crossover. (And if you're wondering why Pokemon Ranger, it's because out of all my stories, the ones I have out now and the ones I'm saving for later, Pokemon ranger is the one Pokemon game I haven't used yet.) (Also I'll be using both the anime and the game when I'm writing the story, using the best of both parts. But I'm going to use Persona 4 Golden for most of the story.)
The idea is that Pokemon have been going missing on the Pokemon World, so the Pokemon Rangers are investigating the cause, and while investigating My OC and his partner gets dragged into TV world, and in the TV world he witness the first murder, feeling guilty about being unable to save her, he works with the Persona 4 Team to help find out the person behind this murder.
Now that was just the base of the idea, I'm still working out a few ideas for it, but what do you think, is this something you want to read? Please leave a review if you're interested in reading it. (Also I plan to post it after I'm done with Fire Emblem, I was planning to, so please don't tell me to wait, tell me if you're interested in reading it.)
Now onto adventure 20.
Adventure 20
Fighting Spirits And Heroes On Fire
The Past
In the past, after Gerard took Kipo, Kalena, and Virgo away, Lemieux sprayed Song with some of Scarlemagne's Pheromones to get her back under control. But what they didn't know was Mullholland was in the water they gave Song, and Mullholland not only negated the Pheromones, but also jump started the human part of Song's brain.
While still in her head, Song's consciousness woke up in a memory of the crystal cave Kipo and Lio hanged out in when they were young. And it surprised Song, when she looked in the water, and saw her own face.
But she was even more surprised when Mullholland came out of the water, making her scream, and back away. "Hi, there. I'm Mullholland. I just freed you from mind control." Mullholland said to Song.
Song tried to speak, but she couldn't form the words. "Wow. You haven't talked in a while, huh? I'm here to be your new brain roomie and keep those pesky pheromones away. How do you like your mindscape? Kipo picked it out after talking about it with Kalena.
"You… you know my daughters?" Song asked Mullholland. "Yes. Oh, Kipo and Kalena sure are special ones, and they need your help. Guess that means I'm a helper, too. Cool." Mullholland said to Song.
"Can you tell them… tell them Mom loved them?" Song asked Mullholland, making Mullholland cry a little.
Scarlemagne's Palace
Back in the present, we left off with tensions in the air, as everyone waited for the bell to ring, starting the fight that would end with either Kalena and Kommo-o or Javin and Maira getting covered in molten gold and becoming a statue for Scarlemagne.
While waiting Asher and Dahlia popped out of Yumyan's tail. "Did you stow away back there?" Yumyan asked Asher and Dahlia. "Hi." Dahlia said to Yumyan.
"How did you not feel them?" Molly asked Yumyan, as Wyatt and Troy came out of her tail. "And, I retract. But that does explain why Cuddy and Daven came with us." Molly said to Yumyan, as she turned to the Kartanas that had Cuddy and Daven with him.
"Javin, you have to agree that this has gone too far. We have to stop this, before it gets even worse." Kalena said to Javin.
Javin first looks at the Mob Frogs, before looking at Scarlemagne, with Scarlemagne having a very serious look on his face. Javin then looked at his missing arm, and the images of his ruined homeland flashed in his mind, as well as the memories of everyone he knew that he lost.
"I'm sorry, but things can't get any worse for me. And if this is how the Cheetah Boxers will end, then it will be a glorious end." Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maira got into a fighting stance.
"You can't be serious, you said this was madness." Kalena said to Javin. "It is. But me nor you and your sister can stop Scarlemagne. Besides, it's not like I have anything worth living for. And when Scarlemagne found, I was already dead inside, nothing but a shell that Scarlemagne dressed up and did what was told. I guess it makes sense that my fate would become a statue for him, after all I'm the last Cheetah Boxer, who wouldn't want my pelt for a trophy." Javin said to Kalena, a sad tune in his voice, and laughing a broken laugh, with his hand pulling his fingers down his face, while crying a little.
'Javin, he's so lost in his pain that he forgets who he truly is, nor does he care to live. I guess I need to remember what it means to be a fighter.' Kalena thought, as she changed into her mute form.
"Fine Javin, you want a fight, then let's fight." Kalena said to Javin, as she and Kommo-o got into a fighting stance. "Kalena stop! You can't do this." Kipo said to Kalena. "Stay out of this Kipo! This is something I have to do." Kalena said to Kipo, before she and Javin locked eyes, and while no words were said, they both knew they were ready.
"RING THE BELL!" Kalena and Javin said, as Puck rang a large bell. Kalena and Kommo-o then charged at Javin and Maria. But all of a sudden Javin and Maria disappeared, surprising everyone. Then a second later, Kalena and Kommo-o were sent flying into the air, surprising everyone again.
"What just?! Javin and Maria just disappeared and Kalena and Kommo-o have been sent flying for no reason!" Puck said over the speakers, and Kalena and Kommo-o landed on the floor, but quickly stood up.
'That was no reason, that was Javin and Maria. But where are they?' Kalena thought, as she looked around, only for her and Kommo-o to get sent flying towards the rope. They then hit the rope, and were slingshot into the middle of the ring. Luckily they were still on their feet.
"What's wrong? I was expecting more from you and your dragon. But if you can't keep up, then we're going to increase our speed even more." Javin's voice said, sounding like it was coming from everywhere. "Pheromosa." Maira said, her voice sounding like it was coming from everywhere.
Then Kalena and Kommo-o raised their arms and protected their faces, as they kept getting bombarded by attacks that kept coming out of nowhere, even leaving frost on them. The crossword was watching this with wide eyes.
"What's going on?" Asher asked everyone. "Where is Javin and Maria?" Dahlia asked everyone. "They're there. What you're seeing is the legendary power of the Cheetah Boxers. An incredible speed that makes them invisible as well as an unstoppable force." Yumyan.
"But how, that's just too fast to believe." Troy said to Yumyan. "Cheetahs are the fastest animals in the world, and that speed was increased when they became mutes. Not only that, but their physical training allows them to move at such speed even with all that armor on." Molly said to Troy.
Back in the arena, Kalena and Kommo-o were still taking a beating, unable to counter attack. "They move too fast to follow. We're witnessing real warriors of speed." Puck said, as everyone watched, Kalena and Kommo-o were getting pushed around by Javin and Maria's attacks.
'There has to be an opening for a counter attack. But where?' Kalena thought, as she and Kommo-o were forced back to back. That's when Kalena noticed a shadow over her head. Then Javin and Maria came down, kicking Kalena and Kommo-o in the back, making them move to the edge of the ring, before Javin and Maria started to run around again.
That's when Kalena realized that the shadows were Javin and Maria. 'That's it.' Kalena thought, as she found her opening. "Kommo-o, take a defensive stance in the corner." Kalena said to Kommo-o, as she moved to a conor and took a defensive stance. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as she moved to a conor and took a defensive stance.
"You really think you can just hide in the corner and be safe." Javin said to Kalena, as his voice sounded like it was coming from everywhere. Then a shadow appeared over Kalena and Kommo-o, making Kalena smirk.
"Kommo-o use Sky Uppercut." Kalena said to Kommo-o. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as she and Kalena jabbed her arms up. That's when they hit Javin and Maria, knocking them out of the sky and onto the ring.
"Smart move, no matter how fast one is, when falling everyone moves at a normal speed. This gave them the opening to counter attack." Yumyan said, as Asher, Dahlia, Wyatt, Troy watched with wide eyes.
"Now use Dragon Claw!" Kalena said to Kommo-o, as they launched at Javin and Maria. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as her claws became encased in teal energy. Then Kalena and Kommo-o slammed their arms into Javin and Maria's right leg, leaving a brush and making them scream in pain.
Then Javin and Maria kicked Kalena and Kommo-o away, and stood up. Javin and Maria then tried to move at high speed again, but the pain in their leg made their speed lowered. This allowed Kalena and Kommo-o to swiped their arms at them, like Javin and Maria hit a clothes line.
"What's wrong? You talk some big talk, but is one hit all it takes for you to lose your edge?!" Kalena asked Javin, as she and Kommo-o started to punch Javin and Maria, with Kommo-o's claws encased in teal energy. After delivering a few punches, Javin and Maria were forced back.
"You want to see my edge? Then take this!" Javin said to Kalena, as he started to glow brown energy, and crossed his arm over his chest.
"You're not the only one with that kind of power!" Kalena said to Javin, as she put her Kommonium Z in her Z-Ring crossed her arms over her chest and glowed purple.
"For Flash! For Asuga! FOR THE CHEETAH BOXER! ALL-OUT PUMMELING!" Javin yelled, before rapidly punching the air in front of him. The energy flowed out of him and into Maria.
Kalena turned the crystal in her Z-Ring and crossed her arms glowing yellow. "Roar Kommo-o!" Kalena said, as she and Kommo-o moved their arms to their sides and crossed them in front of them. "Roar loud!" Kalena said as she and Kommo-o moved their hands into a mouth shape and moved their arms like a large mouth was opening. It was at this point the yellow energy around her went into Kommo-o.
Then the symbol on the Z-ring flashed in front of Kommo-o. Then Kalena and Kommo-o started to shake their scales and flex their muscles as they shake their scales, with Kommo-o's making. "Let your roar be heard for all to hear! GO BLAZING SOULBEAT!" Kalena said to Kommo-o.
"Pheromosa!" Maria said, before she kicked and punched while standing still. Each kick and punch shot out brown energy fist and feet.
"KOMMO-O!" Kommo-o said, punching her claws in front of her face. Then Kommo-o opened her mouth, and fired a giant sonic burst of purple energy.
"SMASH HER INTO THE GROUND, MARIA!" Javin yelled to Maria. "SEND HER FLYING, KOMMO-O!" Kalena yelled to Kommo-o.
The two moves clashed in the middle, causing a massive explosion that shook the place, making cracks appear all over the place, and knocking the humans that were standing to the ground.
"The clash of lights from both sides clashed with equal might that shook the very place itself." Puck said to everyone, as Scarlemagne got a little frustrated by the damage to his palace.
"I gotta say Kalena, I'm disappointed in you." Javin said to Kalena, as she and Maria lunged at her and Kommo-o, with Maria's feet glowing light blue and letting out some frost.
"Your body may be a gift from your parents, but your light is weak." Javin said to Kalena, as she started to punch and kick her, at the same time Maria started to kick Kommo-o, making first appearance on her scales.
"You have no strength, no conviction, no reason." Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maria forced Kalena and Kommo-o back. "You have no fighting spirit!" Javin said to Kalena, as he and Maria lunged at Kalena and Kommo-o.
But Kalena used her right hands to catch Javin's hand and hold it, stopping Javin's attack. At the same time Kommo-o tail glowed silver, and swatted Maria away.
"You think I have no conviction, reason, or strength. You have no right so say such things to me. You're just a shell of your former self." Kalena said to Javin, as she pushed him forward before kicking him back a little, making Javin stumbled a little.
"I fought every day for 10 years to have something to eat. That gave me the strength to face everything head on." Kalena said to Javin, as she moved towards him, and punched him a few times, making him stumble back any more.
"I've learned that there will always be someone else to fight, and to never stop training and improving. That is my reason!" Kalena said to Javin, as she punched Javin again, forcing him into the ropes.
"And I believe in my sister. I believe she can make things better, and if someone threatens her, then I'll protect her with all my might, that's my conviction. And do you know why? BECAUSE THAT'S WHO I AM!" Kalena said to Javin, as she started to glow purple.
That's when her tan eyes turned purple, as her scales became thicker grew a second lair that bended off the upper parts at an acute angle looking like she scales where armor, her claws on her hand and feet changed purple, the bumps on the end of her tail became spikes turning the end of her into a spike ball, the scales on her elbows and knees became small blade-like scales, the bump on her head turned purple and became a large horn with another horn that was 1/3 the size of the horn at a acute angle that bends forward before curving up, on her back two purple lines appeared and opened into a obtuse angle, revealing leather wings with with dark purple bones and light purple membrane, and on her scales from her eyes to all over her body, purple lines traveled around her body like blood veins.
Kalena then raised her head to the sky, and roared as the purple lines around her mouth lit up and let out a surge of blue flames. The sight of this made everyone, literally everyone, scream in shock and surprise.
"K-K-Kalena just turned into a real d-d-dragon humanoid!" Puck said to everyone, as Kalena kept roaring, before locking eyes with a startled Javin.
Javin then shook his head, and got back into a fighting stance. "Just because you change and activate your light, doesn't mean you can win." Javin said to Kalena, as she and Maria lunged at her.
Kalena then roared at them, as the purple lines around her mouth lit up, firing a purple pulse of energy with a dragon head at the end of it. This surprised Javin and Maria, making them stop. Then the dragon head bit down on them, making them explode.
Javin and Maria then rolled back, but quickly stood up. Then Kalena jumped into the air, and started gliding around with her new wings. Kalena then roared, as the purple lines on her hands and claws lit up and became encased in teal energy. Kalena then started to do dive bomb attacks on Javin, breaking his armor.
Them Maria jumped into the air, and let out a flurry of kicks and punches, knocking Kalena out of the sky, with Kalena crashing into the floor, but quickly got up. Then Kommo-o rushed Maria, and swatted her away with tail, while her tail glowed sliver.
Kalena then roared at Javin, as the purple lines around her mouth lit up, and she opened her mouth, making a single small yellow orb appear in her mouth. Then a tiny yellow beam shot out of her mouth.
But Javin dodged the beam with a smirk. "Please tell me that's not all you got. That power was weak compared to the others." Javin said to Kalena, as Maria rushed Kalena, her feet glowing orange.
"Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as she rattle her scales, and fired a soundwave at Maria, forcing her back.
Kalena then roared at Javin, as the purple lines around her head lit up, and she opened her mouth, making many small yellow orbs appear in her mouth. Then a massive yellow beam shot out of her mouth, startling Javin and Maria, and making them jump to the side and they avoided the beam.
Kalena then lowered herself down and stood on her hands and feet, and turned her tail to them. Kalena then roared as the purple lines around her tail lit up. Then Kalena started to swing it at them, shooting purple spikes at them.
But Javin and Maria moved at high speed and charged at Kalena. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as her claws became encased in teal energy and charged at Javin and Maria. But Javin and Maria sidestepped Kommo-o, and kept charging at Kalena, first at the ready.
But then Kalena raised her tail, and it glowed dark purple. Then as Javin and Maria reached her, she swatted her tail at them, knocking their fist away.
Next Kalena's tail became encased in teal energy, and swatted Javin and Maria, sending them flying, with them heading towards Kommo-o, who turned her tail silver and swatted Javin and Maria into the air.
Kalena then roared, as the purple lines all over her body lit up, encasing herself in purple energy, with a dragon head appearing on her head, with an outline of her wings on her back. Kalena then squatted down before shooting up into the air, and ram into Javin and Maria, causing an explosion.
And while Javin and Maria crashed to the floor, with Javin's armor all banged up, Kalena glided down to the floor. "How? What kind of power is this?" Javin asked Kalena, as he and Maria got up.
"It's simple. This is my light. My real power. A power you could never have. And why? Because the only thing you have is revenge. Everything you have become and earn is for your quest of revenge. And a light from revenge will never shine brighter than my fighting spirit." Kalena said to Javin, making Javin gasp and a memory flashed in his head.
The Past
In the past, a young and very angry Javin was walking out of the village, when the Chief of the Cheetah Boxers, Aayan stopped him. "Where do you think you're going?" Aayan asked Javin. "I'm going to kill that Mega that killed my parents." Javin said to Aayan, as he tried to walk past him, only for Aayan to stop him.
"Javin, I know you're in pain and you think you can kill it. But that's just revenge talking. And while revenge is a mighty flame that can give you power, sooner or later, it will burn out, and only a hollow shell of you will be left." Aayan said to Javin.
"Then what should I do? Forgive that Mega? Forgive it for turning me and my baby brother Flash into orphans?" Javin asked Aayan. "No, instead of ruining your life in a quest for revenge, live for them. No matter what happens, so long as you hold the memory of those you lose close to your heart, you can find the strength to overcome anything, for they will always be with you." Aayan said to Javin.
Javin's anger then turned into sadness, and he started to cry very loudly, as Aayan bent down and hugged him, and rubbed his back.
Scarlemagne's Palace
Back in the present, Javin looked at himself for a bit. "You're right. I wanted my vengeance so badly that I betrayed everything I knew, and now, here I am, my last battle, and I'm playing dress up for Scarlemagne. But it's not too late." Javin said, as he removed his armor, and tossed it away, upsetting Scarlemagne. Then Javin pulled out his headgear and put it on.
"If this is truly my last battle. Then I'll battle like a real Cheetah Boxer." Javin said to Kalena, as he got into a fighting stance. "Then let's see what a real Cheetah Boxer can do." Kalena said to Javin, as the purple lines on her hands and claws lit up and became encased in teal energy. "Kommo-o!" Kommo-o said, as her claws became encased in teal energy, and she and Kalena both charged at Javin and Maria.
Javin then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This caused the Light Crystals on him to glow, making brown energy flow from the Light Crystals to all around his body. Then when Kalena and Kommo-o reached them, Maria and Javin moved in a flash, and hit them forcing them back, with Maria kicking Kommo-o back with a flurry of kicks, and Javin punching Kalena, making a large brown energy explosion.
This forced them back, but as Kalena was sent flying back, the purple lines around her mouth lit up and let out a surge of blue flames, burning them a little.
"You may have gotten more power behind those punches of yours, but I still have plenty of tricks left up my sleeve." Kalena said to Javin, as she and Kommo-o stopped moving.
"It's not over yet. I finally started to channel my light into my body and not just into Maria. It would be a shame to end it so soon. GO FULL POWER!" Javin said, as she started to glow brown energy, with some of the energy coming off Javin and into Maria making her glow brown as well.
"What?!" Kalena asked, as she and Kommo-o were shocked by this. "LET'S GO!" Javin yelled, as he and Maria charged at Kalena and Kommo-o, with Maria's feet glowing orange.
"Interesting. We'll use full power as well!" Kalena said to Javin, as she started to glow purple energy, with some of the energy coming off Kalena and into Maria making her glow purple as well. "KOMMO-O HIT THEM HARD!" Kalena said to Kommo-o, as she and Kommo-o charged at Javin and Maria.
The four of them clashed in the middle, letting out a massive burst of brown and purple light, and large gusts of wind, this caused everyone to scream a little as they shield their eyes for a bit.
When the light died down everyone saw Kalena's four hands locked with Javin's one hand, and Kommo-o's right claw locked with Maria's right foot. All of them were still glowing brown and purple energy, and the very ring started to break apart.
"Amazing. Both sides display incredible power that shows no sign of the ring is getting totally trashed." Puck said to everyone, as Kalena, Kommo-o, Javin, and Maria roared and stared a slug fest, not knocking each other away, but starting to send rubble flying all over the place like they were shrapnel, making everyone panic, even Puck and Peofa ducked as a few rubble came crashing into their box.
"Now this is what I call a full force battle, it's a true clash of fighting spirits." Puck said to everyone, as they kept hiding and everyone else kept dodging the rubble that Kalena, Kommo-o, Javin, and Maria were sent flying with tire attacks.
"Amazing." Asher said to everyone. "I've never seen a battle with this much power in all my life." Yumyan said to everyone. "Both of you don't give up!" Wyatt said, as Kalena, Kommo-o, Javin, and Maria forced each other back.
Kalena, Kommo-o, Javin, and Maria were breathing heavily, and Kalena dropped to her knees. "Oh no!" Asher said, getting worried. "Kalena!" Tory said, getting worried. "Don't give up till the very end!" Dahlia said to Kalena.
"You don't have to worry about that." Molly said to everyone, confusing them. "This is a battle where they're pushing each other to the limit, and they love it." Yumyan said to everyone, as they noticed Kalena smiling and standing up, with Kommo-o helping Kalena stand.
"I've never had this much fun in my life. You are truly my greatest rival." Kalena said to Javin. "As you're mine." Javin said to Kalena, before losing balance and having Maria help him stand up. "It's been such a long time since I've had a battle like this. One that makes me feel so alive." Javin said to Kalena, as he smiled.
Then to their surprise, the Mutes in the arena were cheering their names, scaring the humans, and upsetting Scarlemagne. "Listen to those cheers, the arena is filled with praise for both sides." Puck said to everyone, as he and Peofa came out of hiding, as Kalena, Kommo-o, Javin, and Maria smiled at this.
"Javin, it was up to me, I'd just keep fighting all day long, because this has been way too much fun. But…" Kalena said to Javin. "The time has come to finish this fight has arrived." Javin said to Kalena. "BRING IT ON!" Kalena and Javin yelled, as they crossed their arms and glow purple and brown.
"For Flash! For Asuga! FOR THE CHEETAH BOXER! ALL-OUT PUMMELING!" Javin yelled, before rapidly punching the air in front of him. The energy flowed out of him and into Maria.
"Primal forces!" Kalena said, crossing her arms. "Come forth!" Kalena said, stretching out her arms. "Show this world your furry!" Kalena said, as she pulled back her hands, and then pushed back out. "And the might of dragons!" Kalena said, as she moved her hands, as if it was a mouth. "DEVASTATING DRAKE!" Kalena said, as the purple energy flew out of her and into Kommo-o
"Pheromosa!" Maria said, before she kicked and punched while standing still. Each kick and punch shot out brown energy fist and feet.
"Kommo-o!" Kommo-o said, as massive purple energy formed around the end of her mouth. Kommo-o shot the energy, turning it into a bolt. The bolt gained spikes, dragon wings, and a dragon head.
The massive surge of energy flew around in the smashing threw many of the energy fist and feet, until the end, when Maria lunged at the massive surge of energy, and rammed her right knee through it.
That's when the massive surge of energy exploded, letting out a massive burst of energy that shook the whole place and made cracks appear all over the place. With the ring being completely destroyed in the process.
When the dust cleared and the rubble of the ring was scattered all over the place, and in the middle of it, was Kalena, Kommo-o, Javin, and Maria still standing. But a second later, Javin and Maria fell to the ground on their backs, and Kalena and Kommo-o stood tall.
"It's… It's over! The winners are Kalena and Kommo-o. What a battle. A true clash of spirits. Both sides gave it their all, but in the end the warrior spirit of the Cheetah Boxers was no match for the might of Dragon." Puck said to everyone, as Kalena walked to Javin, still in her mute form.
"That was a good fight." Kalena said to Javin, as she took a seat on some rubble. "A worry fight for the last Cheetah Boxers. So finish me and let the story of the Cheetah Boxers end like this." Javin said to Kalena, as he kept lying on the ground.
"But you're not the last Cheetah Boxer." Kalena said to Javin, shocking Javin. "What?" Javin asked Kalena. "Aqua told me she felt bad about what happened. She never wanted it, it was all her crazy aunt's fault. And while she could never forgive herself for what happened to you, she did her best saving the survivors and helping them escape. The rest of the Cheetah Boxers are out there. You're not the last one." Kalena said to Javin.
"You can't be serious. There's no way she would do something like that. She has to be lying." Javin said to Kalena. "I trust Aqua. I could hear the pain in her heart when she told us." Kalean said to Javin, as Javin looked away.
"Look, you don't have to forgive her. I doubt she'll ever want you to forgive her. All I'm asking is that you trust me when I tell you you're not the last Cheetah Boxer." Kalena said to Javin, as she stood up and held out her right hands,
"I'll never forgive her, or trust her. But you won, so I'll hold off my judgment on her until I know for a fact that what you say is true." Javin said to Kalena, as he took her hands. "Good enough for me." Kalena said to Javin, as she helped Javin up onto his feet, and Maria stood up on her own.
Then Kalena and Javin turned their heads to a slow clap. "Bravo, bravo. What a flashy battle. But you four made a massive mess. Luckley I have the perfect cleaning force." Scarlemagne said to them, before laughing like a maniac, and sprayed his Pheromones all over the humans. "Dad." Troy said, as he, Wyatt, Asher, and Dahlia parents got covered in Pheromones.
"I really wish you hadn't done that." Kipo said to Scarlemagne, sounding mad. "Well, you're not in a position to make demands, are you?" Scarlemagne asked Kipo. "Now get to work." Scarlemagne said to the humans, as Kipo crossed her arms and smirked.
Then confusing Scarlemagne, the humans weren't doing what he told them to do."Chip chop. Get along. I command you to clean up this place!" Scarlemagne said to the humans, but still nothing happened.
"Why isn't it working?!" Scarlemagne said, getting frustrated. "Song, attack her!" Scarlemagne said to Song, while pointing at Kipo. but Song just crossed her upper arms and gave him a mean look. This made Scarlemagne groan.
"What have you done?" Scarlemagne asked Kipo. "Bum, bum bum! The night me and Kalena snuck in to see our mom. We called in a favor from a friend." Kipo said to Scarlemagne, as she pulled out the water jug she had, and opened it, revealing Mullholland in it.
"Da-da-da!" Mullholland said, as she did a dramatic pose. "When no one was looking, I poured Mulhollan into your vat of pheromone. Boom!" You can't control the humans! Or my mom! Dah, should've boomed at the end." Kipo said to Scarlemagne, making him growl.
"You think your parlor trick will ruin my day? This stops nothing!" Scarlemagne said Kipo. "Javin. Take care of them!" Scarlemagne said to Javin, as she turned to Javin. But Javin just put his hand on his hip and gave him a mean look.
"No." Javin said to Scarlemagne. "Excuse me?" Scarlemagne asked Javin. "I'm done working for you. I'm through with your madness. Besides, you have other problems." Javin said to Scarlemagne, as he pointed to Song, who moved towards Scarlemagne, and flicked him away with her finger. This caused Scarlemagne to crash into Jester, and knocked them both out as they crashed into the back wall.
"Now, time for Operation Ave-say Umans-hay! Save the humans." Kipo said to Song, whispering that last part. Song then noticed a dome roof nearby, moved to grab it. Song then put the dome in the arena, making the humans gasp.
Then Song lowered her lower hands, and opened it, revealing Mandu, Wolf, Benson, Aqua, Dave, and all their Pokemon, with Aqua struggling to stay awake. "Everyone, climb inside, now!" Wolf said to everyone, as they got off Song's hand.
"Does that thing really expect us to trust it after it destroyed our home?!" Hoag asked Wolf. That's when Kalena jumped into the air, and landed in front of Hoag. "That thing is our mother, and she's not the one that destroyed your home! Now get in that dome or be left behind and fend for yourself." Kalena said to Hoag, with an intimidating voice.
Hoag said nothing. "That's what I thought. Now move!" Kalena said to everyone, but no one moved. "I said MOVE!" Kalena said to the humans, making them moved with worried looks on their faces. Kalena then turned to everyone, with all of them having a shock look on their face.
"Kalena. I see you got a new look." Dave said to Kalena. "Yeah, I kinda like it, and look what else I can do." Kalena said to everyone, as the purple lines around her mouth lit up and let out a surge of blue flames.
"WHOA!" Benson said, as everyone looked even more shocked. "I know right. This is the coolest." Kalena said to everyone, as she looked at herself. "Just when I thought she get any more interesting." Aqua said, thinking out loud. "What was that Aqua?" Benson asked Aqua. "Nothing. I said nothing." Aqua said to Benson, blushing a little.
Back in the king's booth, Kipo watched all this with a smile. "Snap him out of it, Mulholland!" Kipo said to Mulholland. "Oh. Real quick, your mom wanted me to tell you and Kalena that she loves you both." Mulholland said to Kipo.
"Aww. Wait, she actually talked to you? Do you think we can get her out of there?" Kipo asked Mulholland. "Oh… She's been a Mega Monkey for a long time, and it did a number on her. I think she's stuck. Are you sure you want to go Mega?" Mulholland asked Kipo.
"Oh, I have an anchor. Don't worry about me." Kipo said Mulholland. "Then back into the mouth I go!" Mulholland said to Kipo, as he made a top hat with some water. Then Kipo opened Lio's mouth, letting Mulholland into Lio, and breaking Scarlemagne control.
That's when Scarlemagne and Jester got up. "Blacephalon." Jester said, as his head glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Kipo, Virgo, and Lio, and sent them flying into the side of the king's booth. With them out of the way, Scarlemagne rushed to the front of the king's booth.
"Everyone, sit down! The coronation will proceed on schedule. Gerard! Lemieux! Stop her!" Scarlemagne said to everyone, making Gerard and Lemieux take off into the air with their flamingos, followed by a few other apes and flamingos.
Song roared at them, and tried to swat them out of the sky. And while they tried to shoot back, it wasn't having any effect.
Back on the ground, the gang was helping the people into the dome. "Everyone inside, let's go! Benson said to everyone, as they kept getting into the dome. "Just pretend like you're cereal. Actually, that sounds like the monkey's gonna eat you. Never mind." Dave said to everyone. "Not helping Dave." Aqua said to Dave, as Wolf put Mandu in the dome.
"Mandu, make sure they get to the tunnels safely. They need you." Wolf said to Mandu. Mandu squealed, understanding Wolf.
That's when Gerard and Lemieux laned in front of them, with the humans behind them. "Sorry, kids. You're not on the list." Gerard said to everyone. "Oh, yeah? Well, check it again. Under the names, Claw, The Hammer, Slamson, and Little Poundcake." Dave said to Gerard, holding up his fist. This caused Gerard and Lemieux to give him a mean look.
"Guess it's a fight. Give it to 'em, Wolf!" Dave said to Wolf, before Gerard's flamingo bit down on Dave, and tossed Dave away before going after Dave. "Star use Razor Leaf!" Wolf said, as she threw Star at Lemieux.
"Kartana." Star said, as he fired spinning sharp leaves. Star and the leaves then cut up Lemieux and her flamingo, leaving shallow cuts, and getting Lemieux's attention. "Hey, big eyes, over here!" Wolf said, as she started to run, with Lemieux making her flamingo chase Wolf.
While running, Star moved back to Wolf, letting Wolf grab him. "Star use Razor Leaf, again!" Wolf said, as she threw Star at Lemieux. "Kartana." Star said, as he fired spinning sharp leaves. Star and the leaves then cut up Lemieux and her flamingo even more, this time leaving deep cuts, and making Lemieux and her flamingo stop.
Once they stopped, Wolf jumped onto the flamingo's back, and went through the motions to hit Lemieux with her stick, only for nothing to happen and Lemieux to give her an odd look.
"This is usually the part where I'd introduce you to stalky." Wolf said to Lemieux, before getting tailed whipped by Lemieux, knocking Wolf off the flamingo. Then Lemieux's flamingo used its foot to pin Wolf to the floor.
"Kommo-o use Sky Uppercut." Kalena said to Kommo-o, as the purple lines on her hands and claws lit up and became encased in teal energy. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as they rushed to help Wolf.
Kalena then did a slide, slashing the flamingo's leg, making it scream as it let go of Wolf. Then Kommo-o came up and did an uppercut punch, sending Lemieux and the flamingo flying into the air.
Meanwhile Dave was getting picked up and stomped into the ground by Gerard, while in front of Javin. "See Javin, unlike you, I manage to catch these kids." Gerard said to Javin.
"You didn't catch them, they came here by their own free will." Javin said to Gerard. "I'm sorry, but can you talk about this later. Preferably after I'm out of this." Dave said to everyone.
"Don't you have a partner like your friends?" Javin asked Dave. "Yeah, she's like yours but she never listens to me." Dave said to Javin. "Have you ever tried complimenting her? I found it was easier to get them to listen early on to you more if you compliment them. I used to have to compliment Maria every time I talked to her before she truly listened to me." Javin said to Dave.
"Never thought of that." Dave said, rubbing his chin, before getting stopped into the ground again. "Ah! Petty Lady, please come and save me. Have I ever told you that you're the most beautiful lady I've ever seen." Dave said, calling out for Lady. "Like something like that will work." Gerard said to Dave.
That's when Lady came out of nowhere and lunged at the flamingo, while glowing green sending it flying, and knocking Gerard off it, and freed Dave from it. "Hey it works. Perfect. My beautiful Lady, please Stomp that mean bird." Dave said to Lady. "Pheromosa." Lady said, sounding like a "whatever", before stomping on the flamingo, forcing it into the ground.
That's when Dave noticed Gerard getting up. "Gerard, meet Lil' Poundcake." Dave said to Gerard, as he turned into his muscles form and charged at Gerard, delivering many punches taking Gerad down. "You're always such a disappointment." Javin said to Gerad, looking at Gerad, while Dave flexed his muscles and laughed.
Then Lemieux tried to grab it, only for Groove to blast them with a bolt of electricity, making burns appear on Lemieux.
Javin then turned his head to see Aqua helping the last of the humans into the dome, when a flamingo rushed them. "Maria, follow me!" Javin said to Maria, as they rushed the flamingo. "Pheromosa." Maria said, as her feet glowed orange.
Then as Javin kicked the flamingo in the side, Maria kicked the heads. This caused the flamingo to get sent flying into the wall, getting Aqua's attention, and confusing her when she saw Javin was the one that saved her.
Javin then turned to Aqua with a mean look. "Don't mistake my actions. I still hate you. But you and I need to have a word. Then I'll decide what to do with you." Javin said to Aqua. "Far enough." Aqua said to Javin, as some flamingos dive bomb them. Luckily they all dodged the flamingos. "But first we should deal with these flamingos." Aqua said to Javin, as they started to fight the flamingos.
That's when Song grabbed the dome and roared at Scarlemagne. This made Scarlemagne turn to Kipo, Virgo and Lio. "Time for one more gold statue. Jester remove the others." Scarlemagne said to Jester, as he gave Lio a mean look.
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as his head glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Kipo, and Virgo, and sent them flying into the other side of the king's booth. This let Scarlemagne rush Lio and grabbed him, lifting him into the air a little.
"Dad!" Kipo said, as she brought out her paws and charged at Scarlemagne. "Blacephalon." Jester said, as he let out a stream of fire, keeping Kipo back. "Poipole." Virgo said, as she fired purple go with purple electricity in it. The goo hit Jester in the head, and made his head spin, stopping the flames.
With the other, they were fighting the flamingos when one grabbed Benson and took off into the sky. "Cloak use Acid." Aqua said to Cloak. "Nihilego." Cloak said, as she spread orange acid at the flamingo. The acid hit not only the flamingos legs, but also the straps on Benson's backpack. Then as the flamingo screamed in pain, and let Benson go, the strapped on Benson's backpack finished breaking and flew off Benson.
And while Benson landed safely on the ground, Benson's backpack landed in the molten gold, setting it on fire. "No! The anchor!" Benson said, as everyone moved to the edge of the pool and gasped, minus Javin and Maria. "It's gone. The anchor's gone!" Benson said to everyone.
"Was that something important?" Javin asked everyone. "Kipo needs it for her Mega form. And thanks to me it's lost forever." Aqua said to Javin, as she slapped her hands into her face.
Then everyone heard Kipo and Virgo fighting Jester, but Jester was dodging their attacks, with Scarlemagne smiling at this and Lio still in his hand. "Blacephalon." Jester said, as his head exploded, forcing Kipo and Virgo back.
"Get ready to meet the jaguar!" Kipo said to Jester, as her eyes changed into her jaguar eyes. 'Don't do it. Kipo! You'll be stuck!" Wolf said to Kipo, getting Kipo's attention. "I…. I lost your anchor!" Benson said to Kipo, as he started to cry.
"Oh… I'll assume that's something you really, really need." Scarlemagne said to Kipo, as Kommo-o tossed Kalena up to them. "She may need it. But I don't!" Kalena said to Scarlemagne, as the purple lines around her mouth lit up, firing a purple pulse of energy with a dragon head at the end of it. The energy bit down on Jester causing an explosion that forced Scarlemagne to let go of Lio.
Meanwhile, while fighting some flamingos, Song dropped the humans off at the edge of Scarlemagne's territory. "We've got to get out of here!" Hoag said to everyone, as Song roared at the flamingo.
Mandu then ran to a hidden manhole and squealed. "Is that Kipo's pig?" Hoag asked everyone. That's when Roberto moved to the manhole and moved the lid. "She says, this way." Roberto said to everyone.
Back with Kipo, Kalena, and Virgo, they were battling Jester, with Jester trying to burn them with his flames. "What a predicament. To save your precious humans, you have to become a mute, one of us, forever." Scarlemagne said to everyone, as he smiled.
"Why does it have to be a choice? If humans and mutes worked together, the surface would be a better place." Kipo said to Scarlemagne. "Sounds lovely. Tick-tock, Kipo. What'll it be?" Scarlemagne asked Kipo. Then Kalena smirked. "I'm guessing neither." Kalena said to Scarlemagne, confusing Scarlemagne.
"That's right. She won't need to be the jaguar to fight you." Wolf said to Scarlemagne, as everyone came up to the king's booth, with Javin and Maria joining them.
"Star use Night Slash." Wolf said to Star, as she threw Star at Jester. "Kartana." Star said, as his blades glowed black. Star then hit Jester in the chest, and spun in his chest like a wheel, making sparks appear on Jester's chest, as he forced Jester back.
This got Scarlemagne's attention, and let Wolf to jump onto Scarlemagne back, and started to kick Scarlemagne on the back a few times before jumping off Scarlemagne. "Get em', Little Poundcake and Lady!" Wolf said to Dave and Lady.
"Ha! My pretty Lady, let's Lunge at this fool!" Dave said to Lady, as they charged at Scarlemagne, with Lady glowing green.
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as his head glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Star, Dave, Lady. This caused them to freeze, before getting sent flying back towards everyone.
"Well there goes the poundcake option." Aqua said to everyone, as her knees shaked in the presence of Scarlemagne. "Let's go, everyone!" Benson said to everyone, as they rushed Scarlemagne and Jester.
"Cloak, distract them with Double Team." Aqua said to Cloak. "Nihilego." Cloak said, as she made copies of herself and circled Scarlemagne and Jester, making them try and find the real one.
"Groove use Discharge." Benson said to Groove. "Xurkitree." Groove said as he let out a surge of electricity, zapping Scarlemagne and Jester, and stunning them. That's when everyone got close.
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as he jumped onto Scarlemagne's back, and let his head explode, forcing everyone away from him and Scarlemagne. Jester then got off Scarlemagne and started to let out a stream of flames at everyone.
"Kommo-o follow my lead with Clanging Scales." Kalena said to Kommo-o, as the all purple lines on her body glowed, and her scales started to make a clicking sound as they let out a purple sound wave. "Kommo-o." Kommo-o said, as she rattled her scales, letting out a purple sound wave. "Virgo help them with Echoed Voice." Kipo said to Vrigo. "POIPOLE!" Virgo yelled, as she fired a soundwave.
The soundwaves made Jester stop his flames, and put his hands on his head, as he and Scarlemagne tried to drown out the soundwaves. That's when Kipo tried to rush them.
But Jester noticed Kipo charging at them. "Blacephalon." Jester said, as his head glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Kipo, freezing Kipo in place. Jester then threw Kipo into Kalena, Kommo-o and Virgo, making them stop their soundwaves
Scarlemagne then tried to rush everyone. "Star, use Razor Leaf." Wolf said to Star, as she threw Star. "Kartana." Star said, as he moved towards Scarlemagne, shooting out sharp leaves at Scarlemagne. "Blacephalon." Jester said, as he let out a steam of fire, burning Star and the leaves, making them miss Scarlemagne.
Scarlemagne then started to grab and toss everyone around like rag dolls. "He's getting out of hand, we wave to stop him!" Javin said to everyone, as he and Maria rushed Scarlemagne, with Maria glowing brown. "Right behind you. Come only my pretty Lady, let's show this monkey how we do things." Dave said to Javin, as she and Lady rushed Scarlemagne, with Lady feet glowing white.
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as he fired his head at Javin, Dave, Maria, and Lady. hitting them, and making a large explosion that sent Javin, Dave, Maria, and Lady flying into the wall.
When the smoke cleared, Scarlemagne rushed Wolf, and grabbed her, before tossing her into the wall. "Ouch." Wolf said, as she slid down the wall. "Wolf, you okay?" Kipo asked Wolf. "I really miss Stalky right now!" Wolf said, thinking out loud, as she got up. "Aw, what happened to Stalky?" Kipo asked Wolf.
"Blacephalon!" Jester said, as he started to fire a few black energy balls at everyone, making small explosions and scattering everyone, even Dave, Javin, Maria, and Lady got out of the wall and started to run around avoiding the black energy balls.
"You know what. Tell me after!" Kipo said to Wolf, before Scarlemagne tackled her and Kalena, and slammed them into the wall. "Enough, Hugo!" Lio said, as he and Javin grabbed Scarlemagne's arms. "You're completely out of control. You have to stop this." Javin said to
"There is no stopping this." Scarlemagne said to Javin. "Then we'll stop you." Javin said to Scarlemagne. "Maria, go at him with full force." Javin said to Maria. "Pheromosa." Maria said, as she rushed Scarlemagne.
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as his head glowed pink, and a pink outline appeared on Lio, Javin, and Maria, freezing Maria in place before she reached Scarlemagne. Then Jester ripped Lio and Javin off Scarlemagne, before sending them all flying to the walls.
Scarlemagne rushed and grabbed Lio, and forced him to the floor. This made Kalena and Kipo growl at Scarlemagne. "Careful, now. No anchor… and we won't want to hurt dear old dad now won't we." Scarlemagne said to Kipo and Kalena.
Virgo looked at Scarlemagne with a mean look. "POIPOLE!" Virgo yelled, as she started to glow light blue, surprising everyone. "What's happening?" Benson asked everyone. "Impossible! She's evolving!" Kalena said to everyone. "Evolving?" Lio asked Kalena.
"It's when Pokemon change shape, grow, and become stronger. All the Ultra Beasts but Virgo's kind can't evolve. But for Virgo's kind, it's rare for one to evolve." Kalena said to everyone. "Why?" Kipo asked Kalena. "From what I've heard, it's because evolving in Virgo's kind is no different then becoming the queen bee of the hive." Kalena said to Kipo, as Virgo started to grow.
Virgo became six times her size as she flip upside down, her stingers became massive, her arms went into her body, her legs grew and ended with three sharp point pincers, large spikes popped out here her legs connected to her body, large wings appeared on her back with a spike in the middle of the wing and a large curved spike at the upper part of the wing, her tail grew longer and have a right angle in it with a few bumps on the upper part of the right angle, a flat spikes sticking out where it turn into a right angle, then a jaw opened up revealing four fangs, and two curve bumps.
Then the light faded, revealing its dark purple body with pale purple and violet red marks over its body, with the flat spikes sticking out looking like a visor with a light blue eye line on it.
"NAGANADEL!" Virgo roared, letting out a sound wave that not only forced Scarlemagne off Lio to cover his ears, but made everyone feel alert and awake.
"Whoa! Look at you Virgo. You've become so big. And you do look riegel now. I guess that's why Kalena called you a queen." Kipo said to Virgo. "I said that because Virgo is now a Naganadel, The Poison Pin Pokemon and is a Dragon / Poison Type. A one of a kind Ultra beast, it fires glowing venomous liquid from its needles. This liquid is also immensely adhesive. And given that move was Uproar and not Echoed Voice, I think she's got a lot more power." Kalena said to Kipo
"Naganadel!" Virgo said, as she pointed her singers at Scarlemagne, and fired a pulse of black rings forcing Scarlemagne away from Lio and to the opening of the king's booth. "That was Dark Pulse." Kalena said to everyone.
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as he let out a steam of fire. "Naganadel." Virgo said, as she pointed her stingers at Jester, and out a title wave of purple goo. The goo washed out Jester flames, and washed Jester to the edge of the king's booth. "And that was Sludge Wave." Kalena said to everyone
"Blacephalon." Jester said, as he fired his head at Virgo. "Naganadel." Virgo said, as she fired a purple pulse of energy with a dragon head at the end of it. The dragon head bit into Jester's head and flew it out of the king's booth, making it explode in the open. "And her last move is Dragon Pulse." Kalena said to everyone.
"Naganadel!" Virgo said, before rushing to Jester. And before Jester could regrow his head, Virgo jammed her middle stinger into the hole where Jester's head would come out of. "Naganadel!" Virgo said, as Jester started to glow purple and make zap sounds, as he twitched all over the place.
Virgo then removed her stinger from Jester, letting Jester's head pop out of the body, only for Jester to then fall to the floor and not get up. "Well he's out, looks like Virgo wins that little fight." Kalena said to everyone. This made Scarlemagne shot, and rushed everyone again.
Outside the king's booth, the mutes heard the whole battle. "Uh, should we… should we do something?" A Scooter Skunk asked another Scooter Skunk. "Nah." The second Scooter Skunk said to the first Scooter Skunk.
"We have to help them. Timbercats." Troy said to everyone. "Yeah, I was just about to say that. Yumyan owns you!" Yumyan said to everyone. "To Kipo and Kalena!" Molly said, as everyone charged, leaving Yumyan by himself. Yumyan then shooted before following the others.
Back in the king's booth, Scarlemagne was breathing heavily, his king's cap damaged by everyone's attack. "Oh, must we go on with this ridiculous game? Just give up." Scarlemagne said to everyone.
"Give up? You must not know us very well." Wolf said to Scarlemagne, as she picked up his crown. "Put… down… my… crown." Scarlemagne said to Wolf, with a very angry tune in his voice.
"No problem." Wolf said to Scarlemagne, as she held the crown over the edge. It took Kalena a second to realize what Wolf was doing. "Wait Wolf that's a…" Kalena said to Wolf, but Wolf dropped the crown into the molten gold. "Bad idea." Kalena said, as the crown burned into nothing while in the molten gold.
"You've taken everything from me! Is this what you were planning all along? Were you two only pretending to care?" Scarlemagne asked Kipo and Kalena. "What? No! I only for real care!" Kipo said to Scarlemagne. "She does." Kalena said to Scarlemagne.
"That's why I was hoping you'd do the right thing. You still can." Kipo said to Scarlemagne. "I built a kingdom from the ashes of humanity." Scarlemagne said to Kipo. "And how many mutes like the Mob Frogs will you turn into statues for this kingdom? You need to stop this madness before it gets worse." Kalena said to Scarlemagne.
Scarlemagne said nothing, but growled, as he ran past everyone and grabbed the lever for the molten gold channel. "One way or another, you all will be a part of it!" Scarlemagne said to everyone, as he flipped the lever forward, breaking it.
This caused the molten gold to burst out of the tree like it was a flood, drowning the trashed ring in molten gold. Then cracks appeared all over the tree resulting from the fighting from Kalena, Javin, and their Pokemon, and more molten gold started to flow out of the tree into the arena.
This caused the place to shake, making Lady, Groove, and Maria lose their balance, and fall out of the king's booth, taking Dave, Benson, Wolf, Aqua, and Javin with them. Lucky Virgo and Cloak flew to them, and grabbed them and helped them land on safe ground.
Then Scarlemagne came from behind and pushed Kipo, Kalena, and Lio into the arena. "Au revoir, Kipo and Kalena!" Scarlemagne said to them. Once they hit the ground, they landed on Dave, and squished Dave into his old man form.
That's when Humming Bombers started to fly away. Scarlemagne then called a flamingo, and hopped on it, flying away, leaving Jester behind, with Jester getting up, and seeing Scarlemagne abandon him.
"We've got to get to higher ground." Wolf said to everyone. "Easier said than done. Not a lot of room to fly and do fancy footwork here." Javin said to Wolf, as a few streams of molten gold started to pour around them.
"Take my ax." Molly said to everyone, making them notice the timbercats above them, holding their axs down. "Perfect timing Molly." Kalena said to Molly, as they moved to the axs.
Back in the air, Scarlemagne was smirking at this madness. But that's when an explosion came from the tree, getting Scarlemagne's attention. That's when one of the streams of molten gold moved and hit Scarlemagne's flamingo wings making him crash into the bleachers of the arena, knocking himself out.
With the others, while using the axs to get up, Benson looked up to see Troy holding the ax he was climbing. This made Benson look at Troy like pink sparkles were all around Troy, as Troy helped him onto their level.
"Oh, hey, Troy! Funny seeing… ha… you here. I just grabbed this ax, didn't expect you to be on the other end of it. What a coincidence. Um, you look… you… you look yeah…. You really fit in!... With these, uh, cats?" Benson said to Troy, getting very nervous, and chuckling a little.
"Come on! Save this embarrassing conversation for later! We have a more immediate problem!" Aqua said to Benson, as she forced Benson head around, making Benson notice the molten gold reaching their level. Troy then grabbed Benson's arm and started to move up the bleachers, with Aqua following them.
In the king's booth, Jester was freaking out, as the molten gold started to melt. "Jump, I'll catch you." Lio said to Jester, getting Lio's attention. Jester was scared to jump, but the ceiling of the king's booth was about to cave in.
"BLACEPHALON!" Jester yelled, as he jumped, at the same time the roof caved in, drowning the king's booth in molten gold. Luckily Lio was able to catch him and was able to stay on his feet.
"You okay?" Lio asked Jester. "Blace." Jester said to Lio, sounding like a thank you. "Come on. We have to move." Lio said to Jester, as they started to move up the bleachers.
While moving up the bleachers, Lio noticed the unconscious Scarlemagne, making him stop. "Dad, what's wrong? We have to keep moving?" Kalena asked Lio. "I'm not leaving him! I can't do that again." Lio said to Kalena, before rushing to Scarlemagne side. Kipo, Kalena, and Molly moved to help dragged Scarlemagne up the bleachers
Then with Dave, drops of molten gold fell around him, scaring him and threw his stages back to his normal form. Soon everyone was at the top of the bleachers and had nowhere else to go.
"How are we gonna get everyone out of here?" Wolf asked everyone. "We're not. At least not all of us." Javin said to Wolf. "Maria, you and your kind can escape. Take as many young ones as you can and get out of here! The rest of us will have to stay here and face our end, whether we're ready or not." Javin said to Maria.
"There has to be a way?!" Kipo asked Javin. "Not so long as that tree is letting out molten gold. It's too hot to use anything to clog it, and if we tried to move the tree with our light attacks, we'd only cause it to burst open and cover everyone in molten gold anyway." Javin said to Kipo.
"We may not be able to clog it, and our Z-moves can stop it. But the Mega Jaguar can move the tree and save everyone." Kipo said to everyone, with a serious look on her face.
"What are you talking about? Kipo-." Lio said to Kipo, but was interrupted by Kipo. "If I turn Mega, I can knock that tree over and stop the gold from rising any higher." Kipo said to everyone.
"But we don't have your anchor. You won't be able to come back." Wolf said to Kipo. "Kipo, you'll be a jaguar for the rest of your life." Benson said to Kipo. "Please. I can't lose you, too." Lio said to Kipo. "Kalena, please, talk her out of this." Aqua said to Kalena.
Kalena then moved to stand in front of Kipo. "Kipo, no matter what happens. Know that I've loved our time together. And wished we could have many more days to catch up on the 13 years we've been apart." Kalena said to Kipo, surprising everyone.
"You're not going to talk me out of this?" Kipo asked Kalena. "Would you listen to me if I did? Besides, I know you well enough that you'll do what you feel is right. I just want you to know that I love you and I'm proud of you, my big sister." Kalena said to Kipo, before she hugged Kipo. Then the rest of the gang, Lio, and their Pokemon joined in the hug.
Kipo then looked at the tree with determined eyes, before she turned into her Jaguar form. Kipo then jumped onto the roof of the arena and moved to the tree, slamming into it, and trying to move it. But the tree's roots keep the tree in place.
Kipo roared, and Song came walking up. Song then started to help push the tree. But the tree was still not moving. "Maria, get everyone out!" Javin said to Maria. "Pheromosa." Maria said, as she and the other Ultra beast refuse to leave anyone behind, if this was the end, then they all would face it together.
"I didn't think it would end this way." A Scooter Skunk asked another Scooter Skunk. "Uh, yeah. I don't think anyone did." The second Scooter Skunk said to the first Scooter Skunk.
"Timbercats, it's been an honor." Yumyan said to everyone, as the Timbercats started to bang their axs into the floor, making a sound of send off.
However, Kipo and Song started to make some progress in moving the tree, but that's when a crack in the tree opened, and covered Songs upper right hand in molten gold, making Song roar in pain and stop pushing the tree.
Kipo watched as everyone panicked or embraced the end "Kipo!" Wolf called out. "You can do it Kipo!" Kalena called out.
This sparked a change in Kipo, she became as big as Song, her tail became 3 tails, she gained an extra set of legs, and on her the top and back large lumps of messy black hair appeared, with long strands of black fur sticking out form the tip of ears.
Kipo roared, and everyone gasped as they looked at Kipo's new form. Kipo then tackled the tree, making it move a little. Then Song roared and rejoined the pushing. With some effort, the two of them pushed the tree down, stopping the molten gold from rising up anymore.
And while everyone cheered at this, but the cheers went silent when they all heard Kipo's sad roar. "She's trying to turn back. She can't." Wolf said to everyone, as Song let out a sorrow roar.
Meanwhile, the humans, all of them were in the sewers, but that's when Emilia, who still had her black eye walked to everyone.
"Wait. I'm a friend. And I'm here to tell you, it is time for us to stop running like scared mice. We've been led to believe our only option is living underground, but there is another way. Mutes need to be saved from themselves. Cured! Fixed! And I know how to turn them back. Mutes destroy everything. And for what? Today is just the latest example. And if humans don't intervene, it won't be the last. Join me, and you'll never be afraid again. We've forgotten who we are. What we are! We're humans! And when we were on top, the surface thrived." Emilia said to everyone.
This made the humans cheer in agreement. While the humans cheered for Emilia, making Emilia smirk, Mandu and Roberto sneaked away, having to warn Kipo and Kalena about this.
Back with the gang, they were saddened by Kipo's fate. "Isn't there another way to turn her back?" Wolf asked a crying Lio. Lio shook her head no, making Wolf cry. Then Kalena looked at her upper right hand, and made its purple lines glow before encasing it in teal energy.
"And the light has yet to shine." Kalena said, remember what Florabel said to them, and have an idea. "I need to get to Kipo." Kalena said to everyone, as she turned off her hand and moved towards Kipo, with everyone following her.
A minute later, Kalena reached Kipo, with Lio, Wolf, Benson, Dave, Aqua, Benson, Asher, Dahlia, Troy, Wyatt, and all of their Pokemon, plus Jester, behind her. "Hey sis." Kalena said to Kipo, getting her attention. Everyone noticed the sad look on Kipo's face, causing everyone, minus Kalena, to have a sad look on their face.
"It's gonna be OK, Kipo. You know why? Because we're still a family. We'll still look at the stars together. We'll still sing." Lio said to Kipo. "Kipo, we're so sorry. This is all our fault." Benson said to Kipo. "No, this is my fault. Once again, I ruin everything and make things worse." Aqua said to everyone.
"So, that's it? We just give up?" Dave asked everyone. "No. Kipo doesn't know the meaning of the word "impossible" and neither should we." Wolf said to everyone, as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"My thoughts exactly." Kalena said to Wolf, as she stepped forward. "Kipo, please lower your head. I think I can help with this new form." Kalena said to kipo. Kipo lightly growled before lowering her head.
"I hope I'm right about this." Kalena said, as she and Kipo closed their eyes and Kalena started to glow a calming purple as she touched Kipo's head. Kalena then let out a deep breath, and felt her soul leaving her body.

Kalena found herself in that unknown space with everything being a white and purple flat land that now had purple and white smoke around the area, with her back in her normal form but a purple ghost of herself. "I guess this place is Kipo's mindscape." Kalena said, as she looked around. That's when she noticed Kipo laying down on the ground, asleep.
"Kipo!" Kalena said, as she moved to Kipo. But when she tried to grab Kipo, trying to shake her, her arms went through her. "Well this is just great, I can't touch her." Kalena said, with an annoyed tune in her voice. Kalena then tried yelling, clapping, making any noise she could. But nothing worked. "I'm going to need help." Kalena said, as she pinched her nose.
Scarlemagne's Palace
Back in reality, a frown appeared on Kalena's face. "I found her human side, but she's out cold and I can't wake her up. I need help waking her up." Kalena said to everyone, as she kept her eyes closed. "And how are we supposed to do that?" Dave asked Kalena, as an idea popped into Wolf's head.
"When the night is dark. And the outside's so cold. Heroes on fire. I needed a hero. If I only knew that the hero was me." Wolf sang, as Benson Dave, and Aqua stepped forward, figuring out what Wolf was doing.
"That the hero was you, was you." Everyone sang to Kipo. "Rear pulls me down. Reckless and hot. It tells me I'm nothing. When I know that I'm not." Wolf sang.
Kipo's Mindscape
In Kipo's Mindscape, Kipo started to walk up. "Kipo, you're awake, thank Arceus." Kalena said to Kipo, as Kipo stood up. "Kalena? Where are we? And why do you look like a ghost?" Kipo asked Kalena. "We're in your head. I guess since this is your head, I'm just a mental image." Kalena said to Kipo, as Kipo looked around.
"Is that a mental image?" Kipo asked Kalena, as they noticed the Mega Jaguar standing in front of them, and exhaled at them, blowing Kipo hair and clothes a little. "Uh, nope." Kalena said to Kipo, as the Maga Jaguar used its nose to knock Kipo to the floor.
"HEY STOP IT!" Kalena said to the Mega, getting between Kipo and The Mega Jaguar, and let out a blinding purple light, forcing the Mega Jaguar back a little. But Kipo was freaking out by all this, and started to get up and started to run away.
This caused the Mega Jaguar to chase after Kipo. "Kipo wait, running isn't helping!" Kalena said to Kipo, as she ran after Kipo.
"Standing alone in the fire!" Wolf singing echoed throughout the place, making them all stop.
Then some of the smoke cleared, revealing Wolf, Benson, Dave, and Aqua. "You're not alone!" They sang, their voices echoing around them.
Then memories of the good times with everyone flashed before her eyes. "They're right. Your ever alone. And no oversized Liepard can change that." Kalena said to Kipo. "You're right. I'm still me. Even with all that fur, and nothing can change that." Kipo said to Kalena, as she started to glow white and Kalena glowed purple.
This made the Mega Jaguar roar in frustration, but Kipo and Kalena stood together and were not intimidated by its roar. "Standing alone in the fire!" Wolf, Benson, Dave, and Aqua sang, their voices echoing around them, as the Mega Jaguar disappeared into the smoke, trying not to fade away.
But it soon faded away, leaving Kipo and Kalena alone. "What do you say we leave this place?" Kalena asked Kipo. "Let's." Kipo said to Kalena.
"You're not alone." Wolf, Benson, Dave, and Aqua sang, their voices echoing around them, as the mindscape started to fade away.
Scarlemagne's Palace
Back in reality, Kipo and Kalena's eyes opened, and they both turned back into their normal forms. "Miss me?" Kipo asked Kalena. "Nope. Because I knew you'd be back." Kalena said to Kipo, smirking, before headlocking Kipo and giving her a noogie.
Watching this everyone gasped, before rushing to hug Kipo, crying tears of joy that Kipo was back. Song watched this with tears in her eyes, while everyone else smiled at this.
"OK, because that was super scary! Am I right?" Kipo asked everyone, as they broke the hug. "You may have gotten bigger, but I got that ultra cool look. In fact that's what I'm going to call it. My Ultra Komodo Dragon Form." Kalena said to Kipo, before they both giggled.
"Wait, am I the only one who's confused? What was that anchor stuff all about? We spent a lot of time on that!" Dave asked everyone.
"We're the anchor, Dave. We're the anchor!" Benson said to Dave, his voice breaking on the last part. "Yeah Dave. It wasn't about an object, it was about the journey, to learn about each other and to learn about ourselves. That's what the anchor truly is, it's our bond of friendship." Kalena said to Dave.
"Aw… I like that. That's cute." Dave said to Kalena, as she and Kipo walked to Song. "We did it, Mom. Together." Kipo said to Song, as Lio walked up to them, and put a hand on their shoulders. "And if I can turn back, so can you. We'll figure this out." Kipo said to Song, putting her hand on her hips.
"Let me see if I can help with that." Kalena said to everyone, as she changed into her Ultra form, and Song lowered her head. Kalena and Song then closed their eyes and Kalena glowed purple as she touched Song's head.
Song's Mindscape
Song's Mindscape was like Kipo's but was all red instead of white and purple, and there was a ton more smoke in it. Kalena then started coughing not long after appearing as her purple ghost self. "I'm a ghost here, how can I be coughing?" Kalena asked herself, as she kept coughing.
"Kalena, is that you?" Song voice echoed around her. "Mother?! Yes it's me! Where are you?!" Kalena asked Song, looking for Song, but kept coughing. "I don't know. But it's so good to hear your voice. I'd never thought I would ever hear it." Song voice echoed around her.
"Just wait Mother, I'll find you and help you get out of this mess." Kalena said to Song, before coughing up a storm, and fading away.
Scarlemagne's Palace
Back in reality, Kalena's eyes opened, and she turned back into her normal form. "Well, I was able to reach her mind, and she's in there, but her mind is a mess. It might take a while before I can find her in there." Kalena said to everyone. "We can wait. After all we've waited 13 years, we can wait a little longer." Kipo said to Kalena.
Soon, the Timbercats had Scarlemagne in a wood cat carrier. "Are you sure you're OK with all of us coming back to Timbercat Village?" Kipo asked Yumyan. "Yeah, we know we're asking a lot after what just happened?" Kalena asked Yumyan
"Anything for you, Kipo, Summoner of the Mega Jaguar, and Kalena, The Living Dragon girl. Always knew you had cat in ya Kipo, and I loved that fight you had with Javin Kalena, you gotta use that power during a sparring match." Yumyan said to them. "Thanks, Yumayn." Kipo said to Yumyan. "And you're on for that sparring match." Kalena said to Yumyan, making him laugh a little.
Then Yumyan, Molly, and two other Timbercats started to take Scarlemagne away. "You could've escaped. But you were willing to get stuck in the jaguar… for a colosseum full of mutes?" Scarlemagne asked, confused by Kipo's actions. "Because that's the kind of person she is, brother. I just wished you saw it sooner." Kalena said to Scarlemagne, as Scarlemagne looked away with a sad look on his face.
"You were right." Kipo said to Lio, with a sad look on her face. "It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt." Lio said to Kipo. "Maybe now that he's lost the power he had, he'll change for the better." Kalena said to everyone. "Hopefully." Kipo said to Kalena.
That's when Mandu and Roberto walked up to everyone. "Dad!" Troy said, as he moved to hug Roberto, and Mandu moved to Kipo, letting Kipo pick her up. But as she picked Mandu up, she noticed it was only the two of them.
"Uh-oh. Where's everyone else?" Kipo asked Roberto. "Ho, boy. Dr. Emilia intercepted us in the tunnels. She convinced them all to follow her. She has some research notebook, and she says she can reverse the mutation." Roberto said to everyone.
"If Emilia has that, she'll end all mutes." Lio said to everyone, scaring everyone. 'We're gonna stop her." Kipo said to everyone. "Kipo's right. Emilia won't win. She has a lot to answer for, and we're going to put an end to her madness." Kalena said to everyone, as she punched her right hand into her left hand.
"And we're gonna do it, together." Kipo said to everyone, as she and Kalena turned their eyes into their Jaguar and Komodo Dragon eyes, inspiring the others.
Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter. Please follow or review if you like this story. Now if you're wondering how Kalena could enter Kipo and Song's mind. Well the reason is, they have similar biology and she channeling her consciousness threw her Dragon energy, entering their mind like a random thought.
