Beginning of the End. Pt.1 Its Showtime!
Epilogue
Many years ago, there lived an evil being so powerful that its very existence threatened all that lived on the planet. To stop this evil, nine brave warriors stood against it to protect the world they loved so much.
The nine headed into battle from which they all knew there was no return. With full force, the nine attacked the evil, but to no avail. Even their combined efforts were not enough to stop the monstrosity, but among them was a powerful sorcerer. He told the other eight of his plan to use a powerful forbidden spell to seal the monster and its evil behind a door of the purist magic.
The reason the spell was forbidden was the cost, human sacrifice. For the spell to work the other eight would need to sacrifice their lives and a personal artifact. The artifacts were to be the keys used to seal the door. The eight agreed and offered their weapons to be used as the keys. With that the sorcerer cast the spell, the bodies of the eight fell to the ground as their lives were stripped from them and their weapons raised into the sky. The weapons encircled the evil and in a blinding light the evil was sealed away. The weapons fell to the ground next to their former masters.
The evil was sealed and the sorcerer collapsed to the ground. The spell had taken its toll upon his body as well. Lifting his head, he saw the bodies of the eight who had sacrificed their lives to save the world. With his remaining strength, he started chanting as he lifted his hand casting his final spell. He fused what remained of their souls to their weapons and added his own elemental specialties to them. Raising his hand to the sky the sorcerer cast the weapons off into the world to find new hosts. Once the weapons were cast away, the sorcerer's arm fell to the ground as the last of his life passed.
The lives of the heroes may have ended, but their stories and what they did will never be forgotten. It is listed in this very book, the names, the keys, and what elemental powers entrapped in each key:
Servan, the grieves and gauntlets of fire with their raging inferno.
Falchier, the rapier of water and its purity.
Isis and Cleo, the twin daggers of ice and their icy tundra.
Odin, the lance of lightning that splits the sky.
Flora and Fauna, the bow and arrows of nature with beauty to match a rose.
Gallion, the chakrams blades of hurricane gales.
Redemption, the sword of shining light.
Penance, the scythe of everlasting darkness.
End of Epilogue
The sun burned brightly on this beautiful winter's day. Since it never snows here it's like summer all year long, save for the cold breeze that wafted in from the north.
The faint scent of flowers blanketed the forest that I live in. The sweet scent made the whole day seem like it was going to be the best day ever, until... I happened to stumble in on a fight between a Lucario wearing black clothes and a monster.
I've heard about pokemon wearing human clothing, but until now I've never actually seen one. He was wearing black pants and a black trench coat and nothing more. Looking closely you could see his arm spikes have pierced the sleeves of his coat, but he seemed to be lacking a chest spike. To my surprise, I noticed that he did not have paws like other Lucario. No, he hand a pair of white glove covered hands.
The monster had six tentacles that jetted out of its back. Its strangely shaped body out-sized its opponent in body mass than height, and looked like a mutated Slaking. Its skin was visible and completely white, save for the red blood that moved around under it and for all the world to see.
I watched from the bushes as the two clashed. The Lucario stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. It looked like it was going to be then end of him.
Oh... sorry, I have not introduced myself. My name is Nicobay. I'm a Bayleaf, with a few differences. My body type is the same as others, but that is the most I have in common with other Bayleaves. My neck and head color is black and looks like I wear a black cowl. Upon my forehead a white star sits. My head leaf is larger than others, and my tail is longer and more flexible as well.
The reason for my unique appearance is that my father is an Umbreon, and my mother is a Meganium. They loved each other enough not to care about their differences and from that, came me. There's more about me but I'll tell you later.
The battle between the two stopped abruptly when the monster was about to deal the killing blow with its long slimy tentacles. Sure I was worried about the Lucario, but my mind was off somewhere else thinking about what those appendages could do.
*C...can't...b...breath...* coughed the Lucario. One of the slimy appendages had wrapped tightly around the Lucario's neck, lifting him up off the ground. Squeezing tighter, the monster had cut off the air passage to the Lucario's lungs. That Lucario clawed at the tentacle to try and loosen it when it happened. The monster killing him seemed to be distracted and in this moment the Lucario took his chance. "Ryusuijin!"
Still hidden by the bushes, I watched in awe as countless crystal swords appeared out of nowhere, and impaled the monster from all directions; a few stayed back to cut lose the Lucario from the monsters' grip.
The Lucario fell to the ground with a thud. Gasping loudly as he took a breath of life. Slowly he staggered back to his feet. Once he regained his footing, the swords returned to their master's side and waited for his next command.
The monster, who took the attack, seemed not to care, and had not noticed his prey was freed. I watched the monster look from side to side, making sniffing noises. Its looking for something...but...what? It closed his eyes and seemed to be tightening its focus. The monster was able to see the life pulses of the creatures of the forest, as mine, through the earth itself. It then opened his eyes, happy to have found something.
"Get out of here!" was yelled out but it was too late the monster was charging at the bushes to its next target... which was me.
Scared and unable to move, I watched as the creature neared. Again someone yelled "Get out of here." and this time was snapped out of my fear. I was able to watch as the monster closed the distance between us within seconds. It leaped at me preparing to sink its huge blood glazed teeth into my flesh. "Meep!"
The monster was only a few seconds away from tearing into me, but the Lucario stepped or should I say appeared in front of me, and he struck it with one really hard kick to the beasts face. Which caved in with a sickening wet crack, the sheer force knocked it a few feet away, and on its back.
The lucario then walked over and put his hand behind my head and told me. "What I'm about to do might scare you, but don't worry. I won't let any harm come to you as long as you stay in the barrier." He slid his hand off my neck and held it a few inches away from my face. Only one word escaped his lips. "Jukoju."
I opened my mouth to ask what he meant, but not even a second after I did. I was encompassed by strange gold light and next thing I knew. I was in a gold tinted ball, which fit my size perfectly, and kept me safe through the whole ordeal.
I don't wanna recall what he did next, cause I'm still getting over that.*shudders*
Anyway I woke up in this laboratory with a few people around me, saying things like "how do we open it." and "damn that shadow." It took me awhile to realize that I was still in the bubble like shield, and even longer of waiting for something to happen. For what felt like hours, a man walked into the lab wearing a blue tux, his silver hair pulled back, and something about him.....wasn't normal.
"Is it him?"
"Yes. What shall you have us do?"
"Give him a warm welcome of course."
End of Part 1.
Like I promised in my journal. We have a short special guest story to add on. So welcome a good friend of mine and his mate.)
It was a quiet and peaceful day and everything seemed right with the world as Xianos, a green anthro keel lizard, hummed happily in the arms of his mate, Deacon a shadow dragon. The two of them sat in a nice open field watching the clouds go by enjoying their time together.
Suddenly a loud explosion killed the silence that loomed of over the field they were in, and Xianos noticed a familiar voice coming from behind his mate. Looking around deacon to see exactly who he was thought it was, a lucario with black clothes pointing a bazooka in the direction of the blast they heard. "Hi shadow!" waving over to lucario, and the apparent cause of the explosion.
He waved back and was going to say something, but was interupted by a loud shriek like roar. Shadow looked at the direction he was previosly facing and the apendages on the back of his head twinged, an indication that he was using the natural gift that lucarios have. Aura. "Oh crap!" he blurted out as he turned around and ran in the opposite direction yelling. "RUN AWAY!!!" He was soon followed by a rather large piranah plant, and smaller versions of it as well.
"Hun, you know that guy?"
"Yeah, .....sort of."
End
Again a big thank you to lordwegner for helping me with this, and a shout out to my friend xianos for being a mother/father of four with his mate deacon. I wish them the best of luck and hope those two play nice. *winks* well thats all the time I have, till next time.^^
