Darkrai Part 46: Darkened Overcast

As the white darkness fills up with mega energy, shards of rock begin to form around it

“Oh-no… we are to late” Zygarde says in a frightening tone

As the rock’s fully shroud it it draws in more power from the tower, what emerges is not Darkrai but a Evil Eye

"It's never too late," the female says. Both Ange and the Shadow said this, her voice a mix of a demonic echo and a normal pitch. She spreads her feathery wings of destruction and shoot off into the sky, right at the eye of chaos.

"FOOL," the Mega screams as it produces a shock wave that knocks Ange/Shadow straight out of the sky. The wave creates a dome around them, similar to the ones used for Rouge Mega Battles. However, this one is different. There are rips in the cage that reveal Hyperspace Lumios mixed with the nightmares of the citizens of the city, and its gargantuan, covering the entire city!

"What is this," Zygarde inquires, looking around with a mix of awe and horror.

"My master plan," Darkrai replies. "This is the living nightmare I will put this awful place into!"

"Not if I have anything to say about that," Ange growled, flying back into the air. She then launched a pitch black Light of Ruins at the enemy, absolutely obliterating it.

"That's right," her ally agrees. The snake fires off a Thousand Waves that combine with the girl's attack, dealing devastating damage. The moves cause a huge explosion, and Ange watches closely for the giant eye to come following out. That never happens, though. Instead, laughter comes from the cloud.

"YOU THOUGHT THAT WOULD WORK!?" the Darkrai exclaims, obviously amused. "That's pathetic!"

"I'm just getting started," the Shadow responds with a smirk. She gathers power between her wings and fires off a huge Oblivion Wing. The white nightmare doesn't seem worried and launches a Dark Pulse as a counter.

The two attacks push against each other for a second, but the Dark Pulse forces its way through the beam, heading straight for Shadow Ange. "I got you," Zygarde shouts, leaping in front of her and creating a small shield, blocking the hit.

"YOU CAN DELAY THE INEVITABLE," the Shiny Mega tells them. "I WILL WIN! AND THIS CITY WILL FALL!!!"

The opponent launches another Dark Pulse set them, this one much bigger. Zygarde and Shadow Ange both counter with a small attack, stopping the move. The girl then flies back to into the sky, subtly building energy for a big attack. She also gathers power from the area sound her, weakening the Darkrai's terrain.

Darkrai looks up at her and attempts to attack, but the snake shoots a Thousand Arrows at it, distracting the white terror. "You pest," it grumbles as it uses Shadow Ball on Zygarde repetitively. The Legendary avoids and blocks them in the beginning, but quickly loses its concentration and begins to take hit after hit.

"Time to end this," Shadow Ange shouts. Darkrai only has time to look up at her, unable to avoid the ginormous black and blue Core Enforcer. Shadow Ange is positive it's over, but after her attack settle down, Mega Darkrai is still there, now charging up its own attack.

"I'M DONE PLAYING AROUND!!!"

Ange Part 47: Ange’s True Awakening

"DARK VOID," the Mega Darkrai shouts as it unleashes a wave of darkness over them. Zygarde uses its energy shield to protect itself, but Ange doesn't have one if those. The girl gets hit, falling into a slumber as she falls to the ground. The Shadow takes control of the body, but Ange's subconscious doesn't go to the dream world.

Ange can see the fight happening from an outsider's view. One that feels familiar. One that feels like home. She sees herself flying circles around Darkrai, who is above her. She sees Zygarde was down below shooting Thousand Arrows up at the nightmare. She looks over and sees the tears between Hyperspace Lumios and her world getting bigger and more chaotic. One of the rips drift to the side, giving Ange a view of the city, and this is when she realizes where she is.

I'm back in the tower, she thinks, her voice echoing all around her.

That's right, someone replies. The voice is hers, but slightly lighter. It sounds peaceful and soothing, kind of like an angel.

Who are you, Ange demands.

Well, I'm you, the other answers. The you that was left behind when you left the tower. I go by Rouge, since Rouge Megas are what I create.

Why do you exist, Ange asks, much less hostile now. I left this place completely.

Not exactly, Rouge tells her. You see, the part of you that you consider you is just the main core of your soul. This core managed to escape. It needed a body, so it grew one. I am also part of your soul, but I'm the one that was too weak to escape the tower. We used to be one but split in two because I was too weak to leave after Zygarde used Nihil Light, There's also a third one. The Shadow. She's the one that couldn't let go of the need for revenge and violence. She used to be part of you, but when your rage hit an apex, it caused a split. She just can't escape your body.

Ange stands there silently as she processes this information. Is there any more of us, she inquires.

Not yet, the tower her answers. But when a part of us disagrees or needs to separate another can be made.

Interesting… the heterochrome mutters. So, you could leave the tower of you wanted to, creating a new body, and a soul would be left here that's different than you because one must be left behind?

That is correct, Rouge confirms.

Then let's do it, Ange states.

I'm not too sure about that, Rouge replies. I like this form. I don't want to leave here.

But I could really use the help, Ange tells her.

I'm sorry but my answer is no, Rouge states with finality. Ange goes to argue, but suddenly she is yanked back into consciousness, slamming back into her usual body. She looks around and sees herself on the ground as Darkrai charges up power again above her.

"Where have you been," the Shadow growls at her, forcing them up.

"Talking to myself," Ange replies. "Not much differently than how I am now."

"Well you need to get back to fighting," the Shadow demands. Ange nods and takes off into the sky. She flies right up into the white terror's face and blasts a black and blue Oblivion Wing in its face. Darkrai howls in agony but doesn't break its stance.

"YOU HAVE BEEN A PAIN IN MY SIDE FOR FAR TOO LONG," it yells as it unleashes another Dark Void. "I'M TIRED OF IT!!!"

Shadow Ange covers herself with her wings, blocking the sleep effect of the hit but still taking damage. The snake creates another shield, but this one is smaller and weaker. The Legendary is getting tired.

"We need to end this soon," Zygarde tells the girl as she takes a quick landing, absorbing some of Darkrai's power.

"Yeah, well, that's kind of hard when it's just the two of us," Ange replies. "Three of us," the Shadow corrects.

"Four," a voice booms from somewhere but nowhere at once.

"What was that," Zygarde questions, on edge.

Suddenly, Ange’s ruin’s spring back to life, Black Vines and Red/Blue Flowers take over the tower as it mutates back into Hyperrouge Ange Floette!

"That was me," Ange answers happily as a giant Light of Ruins comes shooting out of the tower, obliterating Darkrai. "Or should I say, Rouge."

“WHAT THE SKRUD WAS THAT!”

The beam of pink comes crashing back down to the ground, and where it hits stands a pink version of Ange. "Hi-ya," the newcomer exclaims with a bright smile and friendly wave.

Hyperrouge Part 48: Darkness Rising

Part1

"Oh great, there's three of you," Zygarde mumbles, looking at her and Rouge. Despite these words, however, Ange can feel a sense of relief coming from the Legendary.

"How'd you get out," he girl asks her pink self. "I thought you couldn't leave the tower."

"Well, I'm not really out of it," Rouge answers. "Think of me as a hologram, just solid. I'm tied to the tower and only light, but I can interact with the world around me."

"Enough yapping, more fighting," the Shadow demands, forcing Ange to fly back into the sky. Ange sighs and goes along, charging up another attack.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE AND POKEMON YOU HAVE," the Shiny Mega declares. "I WILL WIN AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!"

The giant eye of terror blasts a Dark Pulse at Shadow Ange, but the attack gets blocked by giant purple vines. The girl looks down to see it was the doing of Rouge. "I still got that old tower power," the tower shouts to her.

"That's a good move," Zygarde praises. It then leaps up into the air and unleashes a Rock Slide on the opponent. Darkrai briefly turns away from Shadow Ange to counter the attack, allowing the girl to get right up against it.

"See ya," the Shadow yells as she unleashes a black and blue Light of Ruins. The Mega howls with a mix of pain and anger and Ange keeps the attacks coming by using a black and pink Oblivion Wing.

"Keep that going," Rouge yells, blasting a Light of Ruins of her own at the enemy. Zygarde joins the attacks with a Dragon Pulse.

"That should do it," the snake exclaims, breathless and worn out.

"Funny that you think that," Darkrai's voice says from the smoke of the attacks. Suddenly, Dark Pulses come soaring from the smoke, causing chaos for all around it. Shadow Ange has to make a hard twist and fast decent to the ground to avoid damage and Rouge and Zygarde create some barriers to guard themselves from the attack.

Shadow Ange lands beside Zygarde and looks up to see that the Mega used the chaos to charge up its power, and it just hit its climax. "IN COMING!!!" Ange screams, but she doesn't have time to do anything as the Dark Void comes rushing to her. Zygarde moves fast, though, jumping in front of her and creating a shield. The shield shatters, however, and the snake is sent flying.
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Darkrai cackles from atop the tower. "Looks like that Legendary is down. IT'S OVER!!!"

"Not quite," Zygarde states. All heads turn to it and see that the Legendary is glowing and growing. "In fact, it's just getting started!" The light disburses, revealing Zygarde at 100%.

Part2

All of them look at Zygarde with awe, Dakrai's mixed with anger. "It's majestic when not being used against you," Rouge mutters.

"So true," Ange agrees. Zygarde chuckles and shakes its head.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT FORM YOU TAKE," the opposing Mega shouts. "YOUR LOSS IS INEVITABLE!!!"

"Please stop saying inevitable," the Shadow grumbles. "You're over using it…"

"INEVITABLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE," Darkrai screams as it starts firing off Dark Pulses in all directions. Shadow Ange flies into the sky and pulls some fancy maneuvers to avoid the attacks. Rouge simply puts up a pink shield of light, waiting out the storm. Zygarde, though, rams through all incoming attacks, soaring straight at Darkrai without a care of what's happening to it.

"Eat beam," the Legendary exclaims, launching a Core Enforcer at the enemy as it continues to get closer.

"Actually eat two," Ange follows up with, using her black and blue Light of Ruins.

"You seem hungry so I'll make it three," Rouge says, using her own Light of Ruins.

Darkrai can't move as it is held in place by the three attacks. It growls at the as it tries to escape, but can't and instead takes more damage. Zygarde finally closes the distance and punches the monstrosity in the center of the eye dead in the face. The Legendary didn't even use an attack! No. Just flat out punched it.

"Hit it hard," the Shadow cheers, excited for the action. So excited, in fact, that she decides to go in and deal her own punch. Temporarily taking complete control over the body, the Shadow soars forward and does a flip, kicking the beast in the same spot as Zygarde struck. Shadow cackles maniacally as Darkrai howls with pain.

"What are you doing," Ange exclaims, forcing them to fly away. "That was risky!"

"But totally worth it," the Shadow responds, caring none about Ange's anger.

"THIS IS NOW JUST ANNOYING," the white nightmare yells at them. "JUST ACCEPT THE INEVITABLE!"

"AT THIS POINT YOU'RE SAYING IT ON PURPOSE," the Shadow screams back. Darkrai just ignores her and begins charging energy for its next big attack.

"Now's our chance," Zygarde states. "Let's go all out!"

Part3

Zygarde roars with power as it unleashes many blades of green energy. "THOUSAND ARROWS," it shouts. The Shiny Mega Darkrai groans as it takes the hit, unable to dodge due to charging up its next giant attack.

"Apex Enforcer," the Shadow adds, firing off a mix of black and blue Core Enforcer and Light of Ruins, creating one large beam of devastating power.

"THAT'S NOT EVEN AN ATTACK," the enemy screams as it gets hit.

"It's the ultimate attack," the Shadow replies, firing another.

"Don't use that too much," Rouge tells her. "That takes a lot of energy out of a mortal body, and we can't have you getting exhausted."

"Trust me, it's fine," the Shadow says with a smirk as she comes down to land. As her feet hit the ground, though, she gets extremely light headed, nearly collapsing. "Let's wait before pulling another stunt like that again," Ange mutters, holding her head.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Darkrai cackles from above them. "MY POWER IS MAX! Now, FACE YOUR INEVITABLE DOOM!!!"

"SHUT UP WITH THE INEVITABLES," the Shadow screams. "It's on my last nerve!" She goes to fly back at the white nightmare, but Ange takes control of the body again, forcing her to stop. "Don't," Ange hollers, backing away from the opponent as it uses Dark Void.

"Yes, don't go into that," Rouge agrees, pulling the girl back more with Vine Whip and protecting them with a pink shield.

"Where's the fun of fighting if you refuse to be risky," the Shadow grumbles. She doesn't make any moves, though, staying behind the barrier.

"Which would you prefer," Zygarde asks from behind its own shield nearby. "To be reckless and have a little fun with a loss at the end or make tactical fall backs to win in the end?"

"Consider that," Ange tells her as she takes control of the body again, flying up to Darkrai. "Whatever," the Shadow growls. "I just want to start swinging again!"

"WHY WON'T YOU JUST GO AWAY," the enemy screams, shooting multiple Dark Pulses at Shadow Ange. The attacks never get close, though, because a giant pink Light of Ruins blasts them away.

"Go hit that demon," Rouge cheers from the ground. Ange nods as she pulls her fist back, it covered in black energy as she prepares to deal a powerful blow. She gets close to Darkrai, poised to strike. She swings her arm and-

"OMEGA SWING," Darkrai shouts as it spins in a fast circle, dealing massive damage to Ange. The girl is sent crashing back to the ground, getting smashed into the earth. "You're not the only one that can rebrand moves."

Ange tries to push herself to her feet, but fails and collapses back to the ground. "I-I can't go on," she mutters weakly. Rouge rushes to her side.

"You could, but you need some time," the pink one informs her.

"I’m afraid Time is not something we have," Zygarde cuts in as it narrowly avoids a Dark Pulse.

"I can get the time," the Shadow states. "No you can't," Ange counters. "We share a body. Since I'm weak, you're weak. You can't do anything about that." The Shadow scoffs and rolls her eyes. "Watch me," is all the aggressive one says. Before Ange can reply, she yelps with surprise as something suddenly forces its way out of her. The Blue eye fire escapes Ange and it pulls in shadows, embracing black and blue blames, the shadow stood alone…

"Finally," the figure says, who Ange has now realized is the Shadow. "A body of my own!"

Part4

"Sh-Shadow," Ange mutters with question as the dark figure pulls her to her feet.

"In the flesh," the other responds. "Well, maybe not flesh. More of shadowy energy form but you get what I'm saying."

"How," the girls ask, unable to fully understand.

"I did what Rouge did," the Shadow answers as the pink one comes over to take Ange. "I made a temporary body that I can fight with. This will give you time to rest and allow me to go all out!"

Ange has so many more questions. Ones that she's about to ask, but Zygarde cuts in. "That's all nice and good, but I want to hear more later," it shouts as it zooms by, narrowly avoiding a shower of Dark Pulses. "I need you to get into the fight!"

"Ain't gotta tell me twice," the Shadow exclaims with a cackle, flying into the sky.

"I'll protect you," Rouge tells the human girl, creating a shield around them. Now guarded and able to recover, Ange absorbs the Mega Energy around them while she watches the battle. The Shiny Mega Darkrai is struggling to keep up with the Legendary entity of balance and her personification of chaos. Zygarde stays at a distance, constantly firing Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows while the Shadow zips around at close range, dealing random strikes when Darkrai least expects it. Things are looking really good for them! Until…

"CHAOS SPIN," the shiny yells as it combines a Brutal Swing and Dark Pulse. Brutal Swing smacks the Shadow back and the Dark Pulses get sent flying in all directions, hitting both of Darkrai's attackers. Neither Zygarde or the Shadow were prepared for this, so they didn't block and get injured badly and knocked out the air.

"I've got them," Rouge tells Ange as she uses Power Whip to catch the two and gently lay them on the ground.

I can't just lie hear and do nothing, Ange thinks as she watches Zygarde and the Shadow get back up. Slowly, she forces herself to her feet.

"You need to rest," the pink one states, trying to force the girl back down.

"I'm fine," Ange growls, spreading her wings to push off into the air. Right as she's about to take off, she sees something. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Team MZ, Lebanne, and L rushing to the battle barrier. Taunie is trying desperately to get in, but of course to no prevail.

"Ange," the hotel employee shouts through the invisible wall. "Let us in!"

"No," Ange hollers back. "It's too risky!"

"We want to help," Paxton tells her. The heterochrome shakes her head.

"We've got this," Ange reassures them. Taunie begins to attempt to enter again, but the once-tower girl doesn't want any chance of a break through. Ange spreads her wings and shoots feathers at the group. The sharp projectiles make it through the barrier that literally opened for them (it must have sensed the tower power from Ange) and pick up each individual by their clothes, swooping them off their feet and carrying them away to somewhere safe.

"ANGE," Taunie screams as she tries to resist. The girl just gives the pink haired one a soft smile and wave as she's taken away.

"Alright, let's end this," Ange mutters as she turns her attention back to the enemy, which is currently building power.
