Latias: Now hurry up and put up your guard. You've got five seconds.
-The memory of a few moments ago comes flooding back-
Latias! Mari!
You are--!
-Latias comes at Xiroey faster than the eye can follow, and slugs him directly in the face. Xiroey's vision flashes red and white, and then he eats sand-
-Latias walks over and regards Xiroey with a cold look-
Latias: Too slow brother. For all intents and purposes you're officially dead.
-She raises her foot, and then stoms down on Xiroey's head. Hard.
Xiroey gives a muffled *oof*-
Latias: Frankly I don't know
how you did it.
-she stomps down again-
A weakling like you.
You're a nobody. A spineless coward.
You probably did it when they were asleep!
-crack-
-Latias looks down in the sand, and Xiroey lies there motionless. His arms lay like noodles by his side. Near his head, a widening circle of red appears in the sand-
Latias: ... Pathetic.
-she spits on his corpse. And then walks away-
Latias: (Well... In the end, I let my anger get the best of me. I had meant to hold back a bit--Prolong his miserable death for as long as possible.
But in the end. It looks like he got a swift death he didn't deserve.)
-Latias stops walking. A thought suddenly strikes her-
Latias: However... Who's to say it has to end here?
I'm sure those annoying friends of his will make for some good stress relief when I--
-Latias's next sentence is cut off by a loude *Crack*. Before she can properly register the noise, A fat electric bolt comes in and blasts her right in the face-
-stumbles-
Latias: NNNGGGHH!
I demand to know who did that!
Show yourself coward--
(???): So, that's really what you think of me is it...?
-Latias spins around and sees Xiroey standing behind her, pointing a strange gun at her head-
Xiroey: That's honestly how you feel about me...
-Latias regains her composure and turns her head up smugly, despite the gun being aimed at her-
Latias: Hmph.
Figures a spinless wimp like you would pull a trick like this.
What was it then? Double Team--
Xiroey: -inturrupts- A substitute. But you didn't answer my question.
Is that how you really feel?
-Latias holds out her hands in a guesture-
Latias: Frankly, It's amazing just how dull you can be sometimes...
Xiroey: ...
Latias: Is that how I feel?
Are you ****ing me?
Here you go, you murder our Parents in cold blood.
You bring disgrace to our family name
You
exsist as a pokemon unfit for the title of legendary...
Yet you have the
audacity to ask me such a thing?
-Xiroey says nothing-
Latias: To tell the truth, I'm glad you pulled this little stunt.
Here you are, standing before me. Holding that stupid little toy gun of yours you've messed around with since you were a kid.
And now,
-Latias's hands crackle with white electricity-
I have the pleasure of killing you all over again.
[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Part 2"]-Latias vanishes, and then appears right in Xiroey's face. She comes in with a swift electrified palm to Xiroey's middle, but Xiroey manages to sidestep the blow at the last second and counter attack with an elbow to her ribs-
-Latias stumbles back, and blue sparks fly from the point of impact-
Latias: *shudder* Heh...
That actually
hurt little brother.
Looks like you've been practicing while I was away.
-Xiroey points his gun at her-
Xiroey: I won't miss this next shot.
Latias: Heh...
Heh...
-snaps-
Get cocky and you're gonna die
-Several illusionary copies of Latias materialize out of nothing and surround the real thing. They each pair off in different directions and rush Xiroey with Arms crackling with energy.
-Xiroey closes his eyes-
-The latias's approach, a few stray sparks fly out from the mob and zap him on the cheek-
-Xiroey points his gun straight up into the air-
-A circle of latas surround him, blocking off all hope of escape-
-He fires off his gun and all the Latias dissapear. A few seconds later, Latias' charred body falls out of the sky and lands flat int he sand-
Xiroey: I told you.
I wouldn't miss.
Latias: ... *cough* ... Not... bad...
Xiroey: Naturally.
-he points the gun at her head-
But then again this was bound to happen.
You understimated me...
-Latias chuckles-
Xiroey: Hmm...?
Latias: You're not the only one...
Capable of pulling a few tricks little brother.
Xiroey: {!!)
-The latias lying on the ground vanishes in a puff of smoke. The gas stings Xiroey's eyes, and forces him to blink away tears. Seconds later, a whirling blade comes flying in.-
-Xiroey manages to duck just in time to avoid getting decapitated-
Latias: That
reaction time!
I'm impressed. So you haven't been hiding away in some hole all these years.
-The smoke clears and latias stands a few feet away from him, holding a glowing white scythe-
-Xiroey doesn't waste time responding, and fires several shots at her-
-She deflects them all with a wave of her hand-
Latias: -yawn- Those pathetic attacks aren't going to work on me now I'm afraid...
Xiroey: I told you not to underestimate!--
Latias: -inturupts- Did you actually think I was fighting
seriously just now.
Xiroey: Y-you mean you weren't--
Latias: Let me share a secret with you little brother.
The only reason you've managed to stay alive this long. Is because I've been playing around with you.
You didn't actually expect I'd allow you to get out of this easy did you?
Xiroey: But I don't--
Latias: Sorry, but you're not going to get away with an easy death this time.
I'll show you what a
real legendary is capable of.
-Xiroey swallows down a nervous knot, and then raises his guard. He watches Latias closely, waiting for the slightest indication of her next attack.
It never comes.
No sooner does Xiroey suspect foul play, does he get blasted with an invisible wave of energy powerful enough to level an entire building. He gets sent flying for countless meters before finally coming to a stop in front of a wide harbor. Latias is waiting there for him, on top of one of the boats.
Latias: Do you understand now little brother?
Xiroey: H-how did--
How did you--
Latias: I told you.
I'm through messing around.
-Latias jumps down from the boat and draws her scythe. She spins it around above her head as she falls. Then arks it down at Xiroey's head.
Just barely, Xiroey manages to throw up his Protect in time to block the attack-
Latias: Quit stalling and DIE ALREADY.
-Latias swings her scythe away at the sheild like a mad-womam. With each passing second, Xiroey feels his sheild begining to fade.-
Xiroey: (Only a matter of time...)
-The shield crumbles. Latias' scythe swings though and arcs a path directly at Xiroey's neck.
Theres a loud crash, followed by an explosion of sparks, and the blade is stopped-
Latias: What?
-Xiroey holds his sword out in his defensive block. It acts as the only barrier between the Scythe's point and Xiroey's neck-
Xiroey: I suppose then,
I should start getting serious as well.
-Xiroey opens his palm at Latias, and a blast of ice and cold air flies at her. She ducks away to the side to avoid the blast, but she only ends up leaving her side open, and she takes a side-full of Xiroey's bullets.-
-She gets knocked away, but hits the ground and rolls back to her feet. She points a finger at Xiroey, and a fat lightning bolt arcs it's way directly at Xiroey's chest-
Xiroey: (She's not messing around)
-Xiroey throws up his Protect again, and the lightning is stopped.
Just as the barrier falls, Latias reappears from behind and aims a Roundhouse kick at the back of Xiroey's neck-
Xiroey: *oof*
-The kick connects and he does a 180 spin, then lands flat on his face-
Latias: I've got you.
-The xiroey on the ground vanishes. Latias notices the trick and casts a glance towards the sky-
-A hand reaches out from the sand and grabs her leg-
Xiroey: Nope,
Wrong direction.
-Latias' entire body gets assaulted by blue sparks-
Latias: AHHHHH!!!
-She shoots an energy ball at the ground and the sparks stop-
Latias: (That was too clo-- WHOA!)
-The sand beneath her feet begins to freeze. Her feet find no purchase on the slick surface and she slips-
Latias: Oww....
(Oh crud.)
-The ice benath her gets hot. Then an enormous lightning bolt flies up out of the ground, taking her up into the sky with it-
Latias: (Damn, I should have known he'd try something like this)
-Latias manages to turn around in midair (she's still inside the lightning bolt) and fires another gaint wave of energy down at the ground-
Xiroey: [from beneath the sand] Ohh... That's not good.
[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Part 3"] Down on the Beath...
-
-BOOM!-
-sand flies up into Mari's face-
Mari: Gotta... hurry...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Back at the Harbor
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-running around in circles-
Xiroey:
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT
HOT SAND!!!
-Latias lands back on the ground-
Latias: Quit fooling around and get serious.
How long will it take you to realize that this ISN'T A GAME!
-Xiroey stops and calms down-
Xiroey: (R-right... I'm fighting for my life here. She's just as tough as I remember!
Yet still, she hasn't shown me her true power yet...)
Latias: You're thinking the same thing I'm thinking aren't you.
Xiroey: Huh?
Latias: That it's time we both take off the training gloves and treat this as a true fight to the death...
Xiroey: You mean...?
Latias: Enough messing around. Turn back into your true form so we can
really have some fun.
Xiroey: (b-but if I do that...)
Latias: What's wrong? Afraid we might mess up the landscape?
Hmph. These pathetic humans aren't worth worrying about anyway.
Now hurry up and transform!
Xiroey: (This sin't right...
I know she's mad, but the Latias I know would never-- *!!*)
-Latias gets right in his face-
Latias: That means
now brother.
-Latias swings her scythe at his head, and he retreats back several feet. Latias makes no move to chase him. instead she waits for Xiroey to unleash his transformation-
Latias: I'm not going to wait forever you know. If I'm the only one who transforms, then this fight will basically be over the minute it starts.
Xiroey: (She's right... I have no choice.)
-Latias gets blasted by an intense wave of white energy before she can make another cocky retort-
-The attack catches her completely by surprise, and she goes down into the sand-
Mari: I was really getting tired of hearing your voice...
Xiroey: -overjoyed- MARII!!
Mari: Hey... Xiro-- *cough*
-she falls down on her knees and coughs up more blood-
Xiroey: No! Mari!
-He rushes over and lays a hand on her back. The coughing slowly subsides, and she re-catches her breath-
Mari: Thanks Xiro...
Xiroey: What were you THINKING using your powers like that!
You're already weak enough as it is!
For that matter, how did you manage to do that in the first place?
You don't even have your necklace!!!
Mari: Calm down Xiro...
I just threw a lead flashlight at her.
-Xiroey stops mid rant-
Xiroey: Y-you what?
Mari: Now come on. We need to hurry up and get back to the ship before this ***** wakes up. I've already had bowser Jr. look into the hull to examine the ballancing mechanisms.
Everything should be A OKAY now.
Xiroey: Phew...
That's good to know.
But still,
How did you even get down here?
Mari: Gliscor followed after me and gave me a ride. -.-
Now come on, he's waiting for us back at the children's library.
Xiroey: Why is he--?
Mari: Don't ask.
