Farlander:
~~~~~~~
I looked around us in a mad fury. The walls around us pulsed with Psychic energy. And in my current state there was nothing I could do.
I growled under my breath. "Damn it..." I got up slowly and winced as my still open wound throbbed painfully. I heard the deep, booming voice of Xiaso laugh gleefully.
"Ah...Poor poor Farlander!" it said with blantantly fake sympathy, "You are truely foolish, old Lugia! You should have taken my offer when you had the chance. At least then...you might have lived."
"Don't give me that S***!" I yelled, my rage building inside of me.
Tornado was looking at me with a curious expression.
"Huh? Offer? What "offer"? Farlander...what is he talking about?" he asked confused, looking back and forth between me and the one holographic Xiaso that remained. I ignored him and continued to shout at Xiaso.
"If you think I'd ever stoop so low as to joining forces with YOU, then your crazy!"
"Oh Farlander. You are getting slow to the head in your old age. Just think about it, Lugia....don't you yearn for the power you once had? For that wonderful feeling when other quake in fear in your presence? Don't you want that back?" Xiaso said in a drawling voice, as if trying to tempt me.
I hesitated... but then quickly shook my head.
"Nice try, Xiaso! I may be getting older! But I am not stupid! And for your information, my powers are JUST as strong as they used to be! I can still kick your @$$!"
Another laughed echoed throughout the enclosed space.
"You are very amusing Farlander! You really ought to stop kidding yourself and face the truth! Your are growing older...you are growing weaker....you are no longer the Great Pokemon Sage, Lugia. You are no longer the mighty Farlander of the 5 Creators! You are weak! And you are worthless! Your powers will continue to dwindle until you are nothing more than a sniviling chicken with the power of a Caterpie!"
"Shut....up...." I said, quietly but forcefully.
"Such a pity you didn't join me. You might have been able to go out with honor....But hey! This can be an honorable death too, if you think about it! I mean, at least you can die while trying to fight your way out!"
"Shut up!"
"Ahhh...who'd have thunk it? The mighty Farlander, buried alive....bleeding, dying, helpless and hopeless..."
"I SAID SHUT UP!!!" I cried in rage, leaping to my feet, ignoring the stabbing pain in my shoulder. In my fury I shot forward and, using my one good wing, slashed at the figure of Xiaso....but it went right through. The hologram flickered as Xiaso gave another evil laugh and then it faded out completely leaving us in an akward silence.
"Farlander..." I heard Tornado say behind me. But i did not turn around to face him. I did not want him, Disaran, or anyone to see the tears that were now streaming down my face...
