Building a Better World: Origins

Keldeo used run away

Keldeo was running. Why was he running? Well it could have something to do with him being late to show some of the newcomers around the Hall of Legends. Which he had been asked to do by Lord Arceus himself. So Keldeo was running very quickly. As a result of running very quickly he was not able to stop very quickly. Which was bad for him as three young fillies were about to cross his path.

"Oh! I'm late!" he said. "I'm late, I'm late!" Keldeo knew that Arceus would forgive him, but the other Legendaries would not be so kind. Oh, the pranks, and teasing he would have to endure. And the other swordsmen, forget about it. Keldeo ran faster.

A bright flash suddenly filled his vision. He blinked and remembered too late that he was still running. He tried stopping himself but through momentum alone he didn't, and skidded along on his hooves.

Then he heard a sweet nearly bell like voice say "I told you girls I could learn to teleport." directly in front of him.

"Crap! Aqua jet!" Keldeo yelled just for the chance that whoever was there would hear him, and move out of the way. The move was the only one he knew that could help him at the moment. The powerful streams of water enveloped his hooves, and sent him into the air.

"Ah!" one voice yelled. "Yikes!" yelled another. "Huh?" said the first voice.

"Oh, crud." he thought. "Please don't be three little kids."

When the aqua jet had pushed him maybe a foot off the ground he felt his right front hoof hit something hard. The water then bounced off something that definitely was not the floor. He then heard someone sputtering, and coughing as they were drenched.

Keldeo continued on a few more yards, and landed slowly as his vision started to clear. He looked over his shoulder, and saw to his shame a small young filly on her back. Her white coat, and purple mane and tail all soaked, and odd sparks coming from her horn.

"Oh pokeballs." he cursed himself. Keldeo started trotting toward her. "Are you okay miss?"

Two other fillies jumped in front of him, and glared angrily. The yellow one with the red mane, and pink bow looked like she would body slam him. The orange one with the wings actually had what looked like steam puffing from her nostrils. "What the hay did ya do that for?" the yellow one growled in a country accent, and stomped her hoof at him. "Yeah, you big jerk!" the orange one yelled, and started pawing the ground, getting ready to change.

Keldeo would have found this adorable if he hadn't felt like such a big jerk. In fact he wished he was a ghost type so he could disappear, and escape them. But there was something he had something he needed to do first. "I apologise for what has happened, but I think we should find out if your friend is hurt." he pointed behind them.

They blinked, and then looked back to the unicorn filly who was now standing, and giving them a deadpan look. "Thanks for checking on me." her voice did not go well with sarcasm, but they seemed to get it. Then her horn sparked, and conducted a mild electric shock over her still wet coat. "AhhhHh!" She was unharmed by the shock, but she shook rapidly for a moment.

"Sweetie Belle!" they ran to her. "Are ya all right?" "What's up with your magic?" "Ya ain't hurt bad are ya?" "That shaking thing with the sparks was cool!" The other two looked at the orange one like she was crazy. "What?" she asked innocently.

"Ahem." they looked at the stallion that had done the water magic. "Sorry for bumping into you like that Miss Sweetie Belle, I was running because I was late for a very important date, and then this bright flash blinded me, and I think you know the rest." Keldeo hung his head sheepishly. "Sorry again."

"Oh, uh?" Scootaloo spoke nervously. "Yeah, strange thing huh?"

Keldeo became a little suspicious as they shifted on their hooves, and looked sideways at each other. "Hold on." He raised a brow. "You were the bright flash weren't you?"

They all nodded. "I teleported." Sweetie Belle told him. "I'm not supposed to do it yet cause Twilight says it's dangerous if you don't concentrate." They all suddenly looked at him with big adorable eyes, and said "You won't tell will you?"

"Pokeballs." he thought cursed himself. There was no escape. He knew he should tell this Twilight, but those eyes were just too...

"Applebloom?" "Scootaloo?" "Sweetie Belle?" Keldeo turned to the three mares walking into the hall. He paid no attention to the other two. Only the unicorn. A beautiful light gray coat with a light and dark purple mane and tail, both kept in an elegant sweeping curl.

"Hello." he said simply.

"Oh my." Rarity giggled. "Hello yourself." she batted her eyelashes at the young stallion.

Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and the crusaders just rolled their eyes.

Sweetie Belle's horn started sparking again. "Ouch!" She rubbed her horn, and forehead. "I think I'm getting a migraine." she complained.

Rarity snapped out of it, and looked at her sister. "Sweetie Belle! What has happened to you?" She started fussing over her little sister's dripping wet mane.

Before he knew it Keldeo was telling her everything. Unfortunately for him he was distracted, and didn't do a very good job of explaining. He also had a cocky grin on his face the whole time.

Rarity's eye twitched. "You." Her lips pulled back in a snarl. "Tried." Several hairs in her mane popped out of place. "To." She started towards him. "Drown! My! Sister!" Her horn lit up.

Keldeo felt two very important parts of him retract into his body.


Arceus was walking through the palace with Princess Celestia. They had explained to Mew about what she had said, and Mew had immediately teared up, and flew off to apologize to Luna.

Celestia's head was already pounding, but that would be easily fixed if she could just get some peace and quiet.

<Ah, there is young Keldeo of the sacred swordsmen. I shall introduce you to him.> Arceus announced.

The princess looked ahead, and saw a colt running to them. He was running very fast. There was a very fearful look on his face, and he appeared to be running away from something. Keldeo sped past the two immortal leaders at a speed that would put a rapidash to shame. "Crap, crap, crap, crap..." he said with each hoof beat.

<Hm, I wonder what that was about.> Arceus said just before he felt the stir of power. Looking back he was reminded of just what it was that Hell hath no fury like.

Rarity was surrounded by her magic as it swirled, and created a tornado like wind tunnel that propelled her through the air. Her eyes were blazed pure white with the righteous fury of an overprotective big sister. "Get back here you cowardly ruffian so I can smash you!" she screamed like a wailing banshee signaling some poor soul's impending doom.

After Rarity had blown past Celestia held a wing to her temple, and said "I've got a migraine."
