The first lifeforms

Sadalla was amazed when he entered his avatar, Zygarde. What he saw was a primordial world. Fire, Water, Lava, and Ice were visible as far as the eye could see. In the air, four giant creatures clashed with cosmic might. They were all as large as buildings, but more like houses, rather than the massive department store behemoths that he had seen initially. Their power was beyond broken though. They were nearly as strong as he had been when he fought the frost demon. 

One, a dragon with an appearance similar to a normal dragon, having gray skin, six legs, a thick tail, and black shadowy wings. Its face was like golden mandibles, with no visible teeth, or anything but darkness within his mouth for that matter. Not matter, antimatter. Sadalla recognized that darkness. A total void that nothing could escape, held within by extremely potent gravity. It was the place no one would ever willingly go. A black hole.

Another was shockingly un-draconic, as it had no wings, and appeared more horse-like, or maybe closer to a rhinoceros? It had a double-ring circling its midsection, and its body was pure white. Its face, elongated backwards like a comet's tail, was grey-black with red pupils and green irises. Surrounding its face was a golden rim, that gave way to that same ivory-white color on the rest of its head. Unlike the first dragon's prominent mouth, this one didn't visibly possess one at all, and its legs were slender, with golden protrusions surrounding the legs like armor. Its tail was also small, but it looked majestic, fitting the rest of the body. The feeling it gave off was refreshing, radiating light in a bright contrast to the first dragon.

The third and fourth dragons were much more understated when compared to the first and second dragon, but that didn't make them any less dangerous. The third dragon was white, with pinkish lines across it. If the second dragon was un-draconic, then this barely qualified as animalistic at all. It looked like a warrior with a plumed helmet and round buckler shields on its arms, which had five claws. The bucklers held a pearl-like structure with an aura of space energy in the center, and were connected to a fan-like structure at the elbow, which seemed to act as its wings. Its tail seemed to help keep it upright, as its thick legs were slightly scrunched, in a configuration somewhere between human and dragon, with the same thick claws at its ends.

The fourth dragon was closer to the second in appearance, but was a deep blue in color, with lines like pure steel across its body. Its mouth had black pupils and red irises, with a somewhat beak-like mouth similar to a bird or a triceratops. At its chest lay a giant diamond heart with an aura radiating the energy of time itself. As its heart beat, time began flowing. Sadalla was amazed, as he hadn't realized that time stopped when the lifeforms were created. The last thing to note with this dragon was that, where the second dragon had a double-ring structure around its belly, this one instead had a steel saddle-like structure with a horizontal sail-like structure at the point where its tail met its torso.

Sadalla was amazed by these creatures. As he watched, they continued their fight for dominance. The battle continued for centuries. The beings drew strength from the fundamental energies of the multiverse itself, granting them near-unlimited endurance. Sadalla began to realize that he needed to intervene. The planet he had been given had long since been badly damaged by their clashes. With a single breath, he attacked them. 

Sadalla's avatar, Zygarde, was a being with power based on Order. This granted it the ability to suppress chaotic forces, so long as they weren't too much stronger than himself. These four dragons were mighty, but not stronger than him. He used his might to seal away the dragons of space, time, and gravity, and forced the dragon of energy to restore the planet. 

As he moved, he noticed a small notification on the edge of his consciousness.
