Ha! Thought I forgotten didn't you?! Ha-HA!! I shall now ake uber-post to make up for my laziness!


Farlander:
~~~~~~
This plan was rather reckless and dangerous, I had to admit, but it was the only way we could get to the terminal in enough time to save Disaren...and ourselves. There was no telling what was going to happen after we burst in there. Many things could be awaiting us in that room....even Death was a possibility. But I had always believed that are some things in life that are worth risking your life for. For me, Disaren, my dear little sister, was one of them.
I rose slowly into the air and positioned myself directly above the location of the terminal. I opened my jaws and began to form a multi-colored ball of energy, my Aeroblast, in my mouth. Before I fired I sent a telepathic message to the others: "Get back unless you want to be be turned to ash!" They got the hint and immedietly moved back to a safe distance. When they were all out of the way and the cost was clear, I fired. The Aeroblast tore through the first level like tissue paper and continued to plummet downward. After it had taken out about 3 floors, I distinctly heard what sounded like and alarm go off in the distance. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Eclipse and Arnen look around, shifting nervously. Tornado seemed anxious. But I ignored the noise and pushed the beam foreward with all my strength. As it tore through the final level and the elaborate machinery and computers off the MCT became visible. I snapped my jaws shut and cut off the beam. I took a quick sharp look at Tornado and the others.
"NOW! HURRY!"
The Dragonite didn't hesitate. He grabbed Eclipse with one arm and Arnen with the other and dove headlong into the smoldering hole. I quickly followed and in seconds we found ourselves hovering above the floor of the MCT, surrounded by the central network of Xiaso's base. I had expected to come diving into a jumble of confused and angry soldiers, all prepared to stop us from doing what we were about to do, and every one of them on orders to kill on site. However....this was not the scene we were met with. Quite the contrary, the room was surprisingly quite and there were no signs of any life or movement anywhere. It was completely deserted.
Tornado cast me a curious and slightly confused glance. My expression however was one of severity and alertness, for I had a feeling of foreboding inside me. There's something wrong here. This is too easy.
"What's going on here?" Eclipse piped up as Tornado lowered her and Arnen to the floor. "Where are all the people?"
I remained silent as I looked cautiously around me. I narrowed my eyes dangerously as I checked every corner of the room. I could still hear the alarm sounding outside the room, so why wasn't anybody coming to investigate? More importantly, why wasn't there anyone here in the first palce? I spoke in a low, warning voice.
"Everyone stay on your gaurd. This is most likely a trap."
"Right." Tornado nodded, also looking around. Eclipse slowly approached one of the main control panals. She reached up with her front paws and looked at the many different buttons and switches, each with a different important function.
"I wonder which of these deactivates the Kill Switches. We should probably find that one first." She said, studying them.
["There will be no need for that, I'm afraid."] said a deep, icy voice. We all spun around behind us, fearing the worst. And sure enough, the worst appeared. Slowly from shadows, the hulking figure of the legendary bird, Xiaso, appeared, his eyes fixed on me and his mouth twisted into an amused smirk. ["For those devices will not be what ends your lives tonight."]
"Xiaso! Where's Disaren?!" I growled in demand, my eyes glowing.
["Disaren? Disaren? Oh!The Specimen! Is that her name? Hm. Not that it is any of your business, Farlander, but she is in a very safe, very special place. Soon she will be a whole new Lugia..."]
"You BASTARD! If you do anything to her I swear I'll cut your throat and feed your remains to the Poochyenas!"
["Oh. My my my, aren't we fiesty today? Well I'm sorry to say, Lugia, that there is nothing you can possibly do to stop me now. However I do admire your bravery in coming back here even though it meant losing your life. Or maybe it was just foolishness on your part, Creator of Justice. Don't tell me you're getting senile in your old age?"]
I growled again threateningly. Xiaso continued.
["You AND that bird-brain Flashwing. I swear....That's why I think it is time for a new leader to take charge. Someone like...me, perhaps? And your baby sister is my key. My precious key to winning the Shi-Cathor and taking control over Mew Castle and it's inhabitants! So you see...that is why I cannot let you take her away from me. You're time in this world is over Pokemon Sage Farlander! Give up now and go to join your foolish friends Cizora and Ramses in the realm of the dead!!"]
Now my rage was burning brightly, and it was visible in my glowing battle aura. My fury out of control, I barked at Xiaso.
"If that is my fate, then I shall accept it!! However...ONLY AFTER I TAKE YOU DOWN FIRST!!"
Xiaso's smirk widened. ["Pity. I had hoped it wouldn't have to come to this. But you leave me no choice. Xiaso came slowly foreward, letting out a slow chuckle. Tornado, Eclipse and Arnen were all watching me nervously. Tornado took a step foreward.
"Far...Farlander...W-"
"Don't just stand there, you fool!" I snapped at him without taking my gaze off of Xiaso. "Use this chance to get out of here!"
"But...we can't just leave you here..."
"I'll be fine! Stop worrying about me Dragonite!" I sighed quickly and slightly softened my tone. "I'll hold him off here. You take Eclipse and Arnen, save Disaren and get out of here! If I am successful here I will meet you back at the castle. If you don't see me, then assume that I am dead and do NOT come back! Do you understand?"
"Farlander..."
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND, TORNADO?!" I cried. Tornado simply regarded me silently for a moment and I swore I saw a flash of compasion in his eyes as he nodded slowly in acceptance. He turned away and grabbed Eclipse and Arnen, leading them toward the door. I did not watch them go for I was too busy focusing my attentions on the enemy in front of me. My foe, Xiaso, was moving ever closer, murder in his eyes.
The fate and life of Farlander, the Pokemon Sage, Creator of Justice, would be decided here and now....and there was no turning back.

Wow! Look at all the angst! *sparkle sparkle* Kuro is so proud of herself! I guess now that I'm out of school (and 18 since Monday! yay!) the creative juices are flowing again. Mostly because I'm bored I guess...lol.
Well, Enjoy! Have fun!
