Aoki could not hear or see anything.
Everything was dark and a deafening silence.
His connection with his Pokemon was gone as the supply of dark aura stopped.
Aoki seemed to have lost the sense of time.
'My eyes and ears are not working…..' Aoki thought as he could feel every part of his body.
Aoki was running out of aura but he had no choice.
His other arm started losing vitality as his eyes and ears started to heal.
The first thing Aoki saw was Darkrai and Mewtwo standing in front of him with a barrier.
Aoki needed some time to comprehend what was going on.
Pidgeot, Victreebel, Nidoking, and Clefable had fainted.
Gyarados and Aerodactyl had reverted back to their normal form but had no strength to move.
Charizard also came out of his mega-evolution stage but still had some strength to fight.
The only one who was standing up was Salamence who was still in his mega-evolution state.
Articuno was beside them creating shields of ice.
Apep was in front of them with smoke coming out of his mouth.
The body of Timaet could be seen with several missing body parts.
Four of its heads were gone with no signs of regeneration.
Its legs were gone but Timaet was still in the air due to his wings.
"What is going on Darkrai….." Aoki asked as he stumbled a bit to stand up.
[Apep was storing energy for a final attack since the beginning but it needed dark aura to work ….
Apep used his final attack combining it with dark aura to clash against Timaet's attack keeping us alive but it exhausted most of our strength to deal with the residual power.
See in front of you Aoki, most of Timaet's powers are gone.
We just have to work a bit more] Darkrai said.
"Call back the ones who can't fight Aoki, they would hold us back, " Mewtwo said.
With a large splash, Apep fell to the ocean as he had no strength left in his body.
'I have done my part…wielder of dark aura….the rest is up to you'
A telepathic message from Apep reached Aoki.
"Yeah….just a bit more" Aoki called back the ones who could not fight anymore and only kept Charizard, Articuno, and Salamence around.
"Are you done ?" Aoki asked looking at Charizard.
Charizard gritted his teeth and stood beside Aoki as his mega stone started shining again.
"I didn't train so hard to give up the midway," Charizard said as he reached his mega-evolution stage again.
"Let's go then!" Aoki said connecting Mega Charizard, Mega Salamence, Articiuno, Darkrai, and Mewtwo with dark aura again as their mind connected.
*********
Timaet roared as his body started to shrink in size to fifteen meters from more than hundred meters.
Two of his heads and wings started to regenerate and making him look like an abnormally large Hydreigon.
Flapping his wings Timeat rushed towards Aoki and Apep as the energy of chaos started to revolve around him.
Three heads of Timaet opened their mouth and released breaths of poison, lightning, and dragon type as ice beam, Dragon breath, and Draconic flames clashed with them creating big explosions.
This time, the clash felt equal as Timaet lost most of his strength from Apep's attack.
Timaet flapped his wings as cyclones started to emerge from the water with lightning strikes from the sky.
Manipulating the already present aura of chaos into the air Darkrai took control of the lightning to use Timaet's own lightning against himself.
Multiple aura spheres summed my Mewtwo crashed into Timeat making him roar in pain.
Articuno summoned a blizzard freezing all the cyclones as well as slowing Timaet down.
One of Timaet's heads exploded from a blast of psychic energy from Mewtwo and this time, it didn't regenerate.
Timaet started exerting more strength but it was falling short as Darkrai was using his own attacks against him.
With another psychic blast from Mewtwo, the second head of Timaet exploded leaving only one of the heads.
Timaet's wings started to melt as Charizard's purple flames continued to burn.
"This is for Apep!" Salamence roared as he used Draco meteor to break Timaet's body even more.
"It's time for you to sleep one and for all....." Darkrai appeared in front of Timaet as he stabbed his hand at the center of Timaet's body taking out a pitch-black orb and devouring it.
In the vision of Apep, the life in Timaet's eyes disappeared as he fell into the ocean to sleep forever.
'My creators...I managed to aid in doing what I was made for...my objective in life is fulfilled''
Charizard and Salmanece came out of the mega-evolution state and started taking deep breaths laying on the ice platform made by Articuno.
Articuno was also tired and lay beside them.
Mewtwo didn't drop his vigilance and kept an eye on everything.
"I wanted to help you more but I can't bring out any more aura," Aoki said touching Apep's head as he felt Apep's life slowly fade away.
Healing abilities were not working on Apep anymore.
'Don't blame yourself…..
You are a savior…..
Without your help, the calamity could not be stopped…..
I have fulfilled my objective…..
It's time I reunite with my family….
Thank you…for fighting with me' Apep closed his eyes to rest.
Darkrai dragged Apep's corpse and began absorbing it till he found something strange.
A black stone with a ring around it.
Darkrai kept the stone in his dimension and cleaned the blood off the ring to reveal its golden color.
Darkrai's eyes widened as he immediately recognized this ring.
[Don't tell me! ]
Darkrai's body froze as he lost control over his body.
[GIRATINA'S CONTROL?!.....
NO! NO! NO!
DON'T TELL ME HE IS FREE!]
Mewtwo's every sense warned him of something he immediately tried to teleport away with everyone but his teleportation ability stopped working after only getting fifty meters away from Apep as a powerful beam made of dragon-type energy, stronger than the one Apep and Timaet used rained upon Apep destroying his body to nothingness.
"It's not over it, prepare yourselves!" Mewtwo roared as Aoki, Articuno, Charizard, and Salamence immediately got ready although they didn't have any strength left.
With strong gusts of wind, multiple large Pokemon landed in front of them with each of them having their energies beyond champion level.
'The original first-rate legendaries...
We are fucked…..'
Aok gritted his teeth seeing Primal Rayquaza, Reshiram, Zekrom, and a black Lugia in front of them whose energies were even more than what Apep and Timaet had.
A man came down from the back of Rayquza with a Marshadow on his shoulder.
"The last user of dark aura...
What to say, I expected a bit more from someone who is supposed to stop me."
The man had purple hair and had bandages wrapped around his body.
Darkrai recognized that form very well, it was the human form that Giratina took once in a while.
Time seemed to have slowed down as his vision acquired a red tint.
Charizard used Fireblast at the man but Zeshriam used Dragon Rush to immediately break every bone in Charizard's body.
Blood splashed everywhere as Charizard's head exploded.
Rayqzuza's Hyperbeam hit Salamence destroying most of his body.
Articuno was struck by Reshiram's strongest flame attack and became a burnt mess.
"You had potential but you are on the wrong side" Phanes walked past Mewtwo as his head exploded by an attack from the dark Lugia.
"You worked hard but time is over for you "
Marshadow summoned a blade of darkness and slashed through Aoki's body into two.
Emotions of despair and fury filled Darkrai as he watched the lifeless bodies of his companions and…..Aoki.
"You disappoint me, Incubus"
Phanes snatched the ring out of Darkrai's hand as he remained frozen.
"I will not kill you, Incubus...although we are on different sides, unlike you, I wouldn't kill my own kind.
You will live….and face the consequences of your actions "
Marshadow splatters Aoki's body on Darkrai's face and hands.
Phanes walked and climbed on the head of Rayquza as all of them took off giving back Darkrai control of his body.
********
The blue sea had become red.
Wherever eyes went, there were bodies of Pokemon that had lost their life.
Whether it be the dragons summoned by Timaet or Aoki's companions.
Darkrai's body shook with grief as he looked at his arms covered in blood.
"No! No! No! You can't die Aoki!!!" Celebi cried out desperately trying to attach Aoki's lifeless body.
"The world doesn't have a future without you…
Please live….please live….please live..!!"
