"Ready?" I asked.

Hoopa nodded, 'Hoopa ready!'

Hoopa threw his ring infront of us and it expectedly grew beyond the normal height into a portal leading into the realm to find Arceus. Given the circumstances, I'd say his help is overdue, he's the only one who could defeat Yvetal and set things right.

"Can we come too Mr. Jones?" Applebloom asked.

"Well that bacon bird is bound to come back and find you three. And he's definitely gonna take his anger out on somebody once he can't find me, so sure." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Yes!" Scootaloo pumped her fist in the air, while the other two smiled.

'Sir, I should warn you right now' Metagross began, 'Only a rare handful of Pokemon and humans have ever encountered the mighty Arceus. So you must show nothing but the highest respect for him.'

Manaphy scoffed, 'Have you met dis dude?'

I quickly glared at Manaphy, "Shut up Manaphy! I won't screw this up, this is basically Pokemon God. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not stupid."

"What happens if he can't help?" Sweetie decided to ask, looking anxious on the possibility of that.

I haven't even considered that, "Oh, well....I-Pro-......uh."

I gazed at everyone who looked at me waiting for my answer. They all began looking more and more apprehensive.

I drawled nervously, "Oh, shit...No, no, that won't happen! He's got to help us! He has to!" I waved for everyone to follow me, "Come on! No more stupid questions, let's go!"

After I stepped into the portal, the crusaders looked at each other nervously, wondering the same thing. They followed me, then my Pokemon before we went to confront the PokéGod. The ring disappeared behind, leaving the streets of Ponyville quite and abandoned once more.





They stared at each other, the Magic stealing Centaur and Destruction Pokémon, both of which were silent. None said a word, they just stared, analyzing each other or planning a strategic plan of offense. Yveltal was not a creature to have its will opposed so easily. And Tirek wouldn't spare an ounce of magic, especially one of immense proportions as the one in his path, currently.

The ponies and Discord sat on the sidelines, helpless to do anything but hope for a miracle. The newcomers arrival was certainly raising questions in their heads.

"So, uh, umm," Rainbow started, "Should we be rooting for that dragon bird thing or what?"

"Call it intuition sugarcube, but I don't think he's really here to help," AppleJack remarked, "Whatever he's here to do, I don't think it'll help anypony."

Rarity soon gasped, "You don't think he's with that horrid alien, do you?"

AppleJack narrowed her eyes, "I wouldn't be surprised if he was with him."

"Then why would it be helping us fight Tirek?" Fluttershy said.

"It's obvious Flutters," Rainbow replied, "He doesn't want no competition when he conquers the world, so he's getting rid of any rivals."

The Destruction Pokémon arched his back and flew to the air. From his position, the Pokémon began charging up his powerful red aura. Yveltal curled itself into a ball, and soon he forced himself out, taking the form of his signature 'Y'. The Destruction Pokémon shot out a wave of dark and red pure malevolent energy towards the centaur.

Oblivion Wing.

Tirek quickly got on the defense and shot his signature black and orange energy wave which instantly collided with Oblivion Wing. The two violent beams seemed to cancel each other out with a cloud of smoke as the only result.

The dragon bird was annoyed by these results it then tried something else. He soon opens his mouth and a light purple orb surrounded in black and purple circles appears inside it. He then fires a beam of black and purple energy from the orb inside his mouth at Tirek.

Dark Pulse

Tirek hastily projected a shield around him to defend against the blow. The pulse collided with the surface of the shield and It worked, but not enough to continue holding off Yveltal's attack off forever. It grew stronger as time went on, Tirek growled and gritted his teeth. The pulse eventually began spreading cracks across Tirek's shield. Tirek started to growl more, at this outcome, Yveltal was much more powerful than he originally anticipated.

Just as time predicted, Tirek shield shattered, but he quickly side jumped before the pulse made contact with his body. Smoke and debris covered Tireks form, he used one swipe of his arm to fan away the smoke and met Yveltal's gaze with stubborn determination.

"I refuse to be outdone by this....thing!" Tirek snarled violently.

He fired out a powerful blast of black magical energy at the Destruction Pokemon. Caught off guard by his attack, it hit Yveltal directly in the chest, Yvetal was knocked off balance as he was propelled in the air backwards. He used his wings to stop and tried maintain his balance.

Yveltal let out an angry shriek and dashed towards Tirek at top speed. He then released a red, powerful stream of energy that enveloped his entire body which gradually formed until the energy looked almost dragon-shaped.

Dragon Rush

The Mane Six couldn't help but awe in this spectacle, even more so who was amazed was Spike. Tirek was caught off guard by the shape of the energy, taking the form of a mighty dragon. To which Yveltal suddenly slammed into his opponent with full force.

Tirek yelled as he was knocked into a house that was thankfully empty. Debris spreaded everywhere and the Centaur bursted out roaring angrily, he fired another beam of energy which Yveltal quickly dodged with ease. The beam instead, hit a house which caused it to explode on contact.

"They're destroying the town!" Spike yelled looking at the carnage both villains were intentionally or unintentionally causing.

"Where's Twilight?" Pinkie asked out loud.

"Hopefully she's on her way." Rarity remarked, watching the two monsters continuing to clash.

In the air, Yveltal curled into a ball before taking 'Y' shape and unleashing Oblivion Wing on the Centaur. Tirek ignited both his horns and teleported out of its way before collision. Yveltal's eyes widened in surprise before his gaze traced across town to spot his opponent.

Tirek teleported between two buildings and used his magic to highlight both houses, before uprooting them from their foundation and throwing them in Yveltals direction. Yveltal maneuvered and veered around them, making them miss entirely.

Tirek gritted his teeth in annoyance, he soon began picking up more houses in his magic before launching them at the Destruction Pokemon. Yveltal narrowly avoided few, but this constant assault with house was beginning to irritate him. Yveltal then appeared before Tirek but now with 8 copies of himself.

Double Team

Tireks eyes widened in confusion and surprise, but this did not dissuade him from continuing his assault. He threw more houses, and started throwing trees, vendors carts, and anything else close by. With each throw, one of the Yveltals would dissipate into nothing, indicating which one was false.

The real Yveltal then performed a sneak attack behind Tirek. The centaur bellowed in pain as the death Pokemon striked from behind him, his razor sharp talons digging into Tirek's back, the sound of flesh churning and the sight blood almost made the Mane Six want to gag at such an unpleasant sight.

"G-get off of me!" Tirek yelled.

He then jumped to his forelegs, and attempted something of a buck as he tried shaking Yveltal off of him. Yveltal released his claws and flew infront of the centaur before releasing a stream of Hyper Beam from his mouth. Tirek had no time to raise a magical shield, Tirek responded with raising both arms to form a protective 'X' infront of his face and chest.

The hyper beam pushed Tirek until he was soon skidded across the town, still holding up his protective 'X', once more Tirek collided with a building making a gaping hole in the side. 

Once more, the Destruction Pokémon began charging a powerful and exuberant energy until he glowed a scarlet color. This charge reached a fine-point, and Yveltal fired.

A large explosion detonated where Tirek once laid. 

Yveltal felt his time wasted here, he needed to conserve his true power for when facing Omega and his Pokemon, they would pose a great challenge then this horned buffoon. 

Once the smoke cleared Tirek emerged angrily. He spun around looking for his rival, he didn't see him, but once he gazed upwards he saw the fleeting form of Yveltal in the distance.

"You coward!" Tirek yelled, "Return and face me!"

Tirek quickly ignited his horn and disappeared in the blink of an eye. He remained unaware that the REAL Yveltal, was behind a building hiding, while using his double team clone to lure Tirek away from him.

It hurt his pride to not finish Tirek off, but Tirek was far stronger than he originally believed, he would surely kill him off once the bottle prison was his. But in order to acquire it, he'll need more eyes to be his look out. He turned and faced the Mane Six and Discord who cowered when his gaze landed on all of them.

'All of you' he announced, 'You all will provide as excellent slaves to be the first under my rule and help aid me find Omega'

"The alien!?" Rainbow said in disbelief.

'Yes, I with all my great and vast power, am still a single individual, and you will ALL help find Omega for me and deliver me what he has.'

"We don't have to do anything you tell us meanie!" Pinkie replied defiantly.

Yveltal chuckled evilly, 'That was not a request, equine.'

Discord, though weakly, crawled between Yveltal and his pony friends to attempt to defend them, "Y-you stay away from them, you hear me!"

'Ah, I see we have a first volunteer.'  Yveltal announced, with a sadistic smirk.

Once more, the Destruction Pokémon began exerting a large amount of dark energy. He unleashed the energy onto Discords body, dark energy began flowing around him. Yveltal's demonic power slowly glided up Discords arm, and eventually inside of his body. Growing weaker than before. Yveltal's darkness was slowly beginning to taint Discords already weak body. With all his magic sapped, he didn't have enough will power to put up an ounce of resistance, making the demonic energy's job much more easy to overtake him. The girls couldn't help but watch in horror as their former friends fur began growing black and his horn grew twisted, his wings stretched out, twice their normal length with a few small holes. Finally his eyes turned full black, with no white or sign of pupils.

Discord laugh echoed across the street as he became a black, more twisted version of himself. 

"Discord!" Fluttershy cried out, she then turned to Yveltal, "You monster, he was our friend!"

Yveltal responded with a mad cackle, 'It seems as if he is now my friend...Speakinng of which, who wants to be my newest friend next?'

The streets of Ponyville filled with small flashing purple lights, accompanied by the groans and screams of the Mane Six and Spike as they soon began getting corrupted by the Death Pokemon to help carry out his plans of death and conquest.
