I awoke to an odd tugging feeling in my gut, one I couldn’t pinpoint.
F13? whats that, a band, because I love music! Its great at parties! ...Wheres the ‘help’ it said would show u-
The tugging sensation grew worse, and everything started going white, before I felt myself falling in an indescribable direction. When the light cleared, I was in canterlot again, standing in front of Pinkie.
“Well. Shit.” I did a Double take as I noticed her holding a grey Drive with her face frozen in a silent scream. She started to back up slowly before I said, “Do I really look that ugly?” Pinkie almost made a small whine as she backed up a few steps.
“Nonononono, you’re not ugly! I thought you were someone else! But you can’t be, you’re red!” She zipped up to me and started poking me. “Are you a Ponynator parody?”
Ponynator… oh! I get it. “I guess you could say that.” I shivered when she started prodding my cannon. “Please don’t, that's sensitive.”
“Celestia’s gotta see this!”
UH, NO.
“Fuck that, I’m outta here! I’d rather not be a scorch mark!” I almost immediately folded up, and shot off like a rocket. I noticed that there was a lot of frost, and a cold wind blowing.
“Now why would she do that?” I almost fell out of the sky in fright when I heard pinkie standing on me. I am not a hoverboard, Pinkie!
“Hey Pinkie? What do hares, and me flying have in common?”
“...I don’t get it. Hares can’t fl” Pinkie hung on for dear life as I barrel rolled to the left, trying to shake her off. “Oh. thats clever.” She giggled. “This is fun!” I kept trying to shake her off.
“Screw it.” I started flying straight up, and kept going.
“Ohh… I feel dizzy…” I felt her grip start to slacken, so I spun again, feeling her slide off. The moment she let go, I circled around, diving after her only to be punched in the face by an ice covered purple fist.
“The fuck?!”
I heard in response, “*zirt* hell *zerts* kill *more static*” Turning, I came face to face with… Mewtwo!?
“Oh, so you want to fight?”
>combat routine engaged.
“Then lets fight!”
“Gaah,” the Mewtwo said in pain, “*lot’s of static* destroy *popping noises* laky *random chirps*”
I fired off a Dark Pulse as my opening move, watching to see how my foe would react. He responded by firing a Aura Sphere negating the previous attack. I retaliated with Blizzard, taking advantage of the chilly climate to more easily aim it. He charged straight through the blast with blades of psychic energy emanating from his arms as he slashed at me. I was unprepared for close range combat, and the attack knocked me out of the sky, where I unfolded and crashed into the ground, feeling the impact rattle throughout my frame.
The mutant floated down to meet me, and I heard, “*static* real tired of this, so now I’m going to end this!” Flames erupted from his hand scorching the ground even from his current height.
>Run Douse.exe
I met the blast of fire with a watery Techno Blast, before crouching down, aim my cannon at him, and charging up, before feeling myself get pressed down from the recoil of Hyper Beam. He went flying from the impact crashing into a near by building.
Fire engulfed his right hand again as he seemed to mentally yell, “I won't let Arceus endanger the ponies here anymore, I’ll kill you! ”
“Fuck Arceus, Praise the Helix mother fucker!” I Launched myself into the air with a combination of ExtreamSpeed and Magnet Raise, crossing my arms in preparation to deliver an X-Scissor decapitation.
The heat coming of the Mewtwo’s hand only increase as the patch of grass underneath him only blackened, his charging cry was, “Stop it with that god damned binary!” In the blink of an eye, I had reached him, ready to deliver the killing blow.
“WAAAAIT!” Before I could end it, Pinkie had somehow wedged herself between the two of us, as a door sailed away on the left side of my vision, crashing to the ground and splintering.
The Mewtwo was the first to react, “What the hell Pinkie, do you realised how many ways you could have died just now?”
“Umm, I can think of about 9001 off the top of my head…”
“Did she just…”
He looked to Pinkie and said, “Pinkie what is that thing saying? All I get is a headache and a ton of ones and zeros going very fast.”
“Well, he said something about ‘buck Arceus’ and then something about a Helix… either that, or something about bananas.”
He audibly sighed then asked again, “Just now what did he say? I need the exact words.”
“Right now? he said ‘did she just...’ I think he got my joke. before that, well, ‘Buck Arceus, Praise the Helix.’ except more vulgar.”
The Mewtwo closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening and looking me in the visor and saying, “Sorry about that, I was getting weird feedback from you, it gave me a massive headache and I understood jack all of what you said. Hopefully I created a proper translation, say something.”
“English motherfucker, do you hear it?”
He nodded, “Yep, it’s coming through loud and clear.”
“Maybe next time, you’ll use your ears instead of you head.”
“Uhhh, my legs are getting tired...”
The Mewtwo floated back a few inches and before pinkie hit the ground she was floating in a purple field, “I’m Medulla by the way.” Then he held out his hand.
“Jerry.” I held out my claw and shook hands with him. “Whats with the cold weather, anyway? Thought Canterlot would be sunny.”
Medulla looked around showing some concern on his face, “It’s Hearth’s Warming Eve, but you are right this storm is all wrong. I usually get empathic impressions from the weather, sadness, joy, longing, but this- this I’m getting nothing.”
“Emptiness?”
He shuddered, “Exactly...”
“Now, I’m assuming since you said stuff about arceus’s lackys, you’ve been dealing with other pokemon?”
He laughed coldly, “I don’t have a full roster, but I can guess who based on what’s going on. I just can’t seem to find him, I thought I found the intruder once I found you.”
“Do I look like an Ice type to you?”
Now he laughed warmly, “I just knew that something was here, I only originally thought it was Kyurem.” Just then a roar echoed through the city.
“You were saying?”
Medulla smiled darkly, “Let’s throwdown.” As he bolted towards the sound. I followed, after refreshing Magnet raise, as my flight form did not allow for close range combat, and I would need every edge possible.
As we approached, the shadow of the Boundary Pokemon became clear, and golf ball sized lumps hail started to fall, denting my frame. Soon after, a chilling wave of air washed over the town, covering everything in ice. I barely managed to avoid becoming frozen by using Flame Charge, gaining ground as I did so, until I caught up with Medulla. “Whats the plan?”
He smiled back at me before responding, “Beat the shit out of him until he surrenders, dies, or is ejected.”He then was knocked to the ground by a shadow launched out of the flurry of snow.
“You okay?”
He shook his head, as if he was waking up, “I’ve had worse. But not by much.” He levitated himself and rocketed forward again.
I scanned about, looking, until…
>Target locked.
Lock on kicked in. That dragon wouldn't be evading me now. I fired off a Flash Cannon, and was greeted with a roar of pain. “Found him!”
I watched as Medulla fired off what appeared to be a combined Fire Blast and Aura Sphere, the blast connected with the dragon not doing as much damage as it should have. In response Kyurem just blasted him with a beam of green energy sending him higher into the sky. Before Kyurem could launch another attack, I delivered an ExtremeSpeed boosted Blaze Kick to the side of its head, causing its attack to veer off course, missing Medulla.
It was then that I heard Medulla say, “Can you keep him distracted while I try something… something that could be suicidally stupid?”
“What, use Sefdestruct?”
“No, Metronome… which could result in that, but not what I’m hoping.”
“Okay!” I took, aim, and fired off a Charge Beam, diverting the extra power to my cannon, and charged up a more powerful Electric attack. After using Lock- On, I fired off Zap Cannon.
“Okay first try, aaaannnnd,” Medulla bolted in front of him and his tail swept Kyurem’s legs causing him to fall to the ground. “Low Sweep” While it was down, I hammered it with another Zap cannon, watching as its muscles seized up as paralysis took hold.
“And number two...” nothing seemed to happen, “Oh no this is embarrassing.” I looked up, and saw him flopping in the air like a fish. He used fucking Splash.
“Oh shit, MOVE!” I yelled as I noticed something glinting high in the sky.
“One last shot before I just go for something practical.” Then a light of incredible brilliance filled the sky, it was not warm but destructive. “LIGHT OF RUIN!!!” The beam shot in both directions obliterating the approaching meteor and crushing Kyurem into the ground tearing into its ice-like form but before it could do more damage a green shield enveloped the ice dragon’s form.
“Are you fucking kidding me. Goddamn Protect.”
“Okay now I’m pissed! That move has likely never been legally used and it didn’t end this.” Medulla’s aura started flaring and becoming darker. “I need one more distraction, just do some damage while I charge a finisher.”
“Okay, how long you need?”
“Hopefully not five minutes, I’ll start yelling when it’s ready.” Medulla said chuckling.
“...Seriously?”
“Hey, this will be the first time I’ve tried this, I’m working off of theory for this combo.” He said floating higher into the sky, a ball of red and brown energy forming between his upheld hands.
“You are serious. Fine.” I launched a couple dozen Magnet bombs, before launching a Thunderbolt, the electricity arcing between the orbs of metal, before they began barraging the dragon from all sides, while I fired of more charge beams.
>Warning: power levels at 400%, maximum safe energy levels reached.
Perfect. Hunkering down, I begun charging up.
>Run shock.Exe, Burn.Exe, and Chill.Exe.
The recoil from firing such a large amount of energy pushed me back a few meters, but the souped up Tri attack did its job, bombarding the dragon with multiple elements at once. Then, gathering even more energy, I fired off a Hyper Beam bigger than I was. When the smoke cleared, there was a trench in front of me, and Kyurem was struggling to get up, the amount of damage, combined with paralysis, taking its toll.
“Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!” Came from above and ball of energy was now the size of a semi-truck. “MEGIDDO!!!” he launched the ball towards the flinching body of Kyurem.
“HOOOOLY SHIIIIT!” Needless to say, I dove for cover. And then used Protect for good measure.
The following explosion shook Canterlot Mountain, and shattering all the glass in the city only dust remained where Kyurem was. And after the dust settled, Medulla eyes rolled into his and he began to fall. I dashed beneath him to intercept his fall, thankful that skidding across the ground didn't hurt much when you're mostly machine.
After a few seconds he woke back up, “I’m going to make sure not to charge that up that much again.”
“Jesus, and he was only UU tier!”
Medulla smiled, “Tiers mean nothing here, the wider the legendary that have domains the farther they spreads their control, the weaker they are in combat. Kyurem only just arrived, so he’d be near the top of his power.”
“Uh, if he looked like that, he wasn't at the peak of his power. Unless you mean in that form.”
“Yes for that form.” He said as he floated to his normal position. “I guess you need to go home now.”
I sighed. “Yeah, back to running from the entire equine population.”
Medulla just nodded, “I know what that’s like, I would suggest creating decoys or distraction to send them on the wrong trail. But for now, our contract is complete.”
Everything went white again, as i was overcome by a sense of dizziness, before my vision cleared, and I was back in my cave lair.
