Cofagrigus moved with all the haste that it could muster towards where
Eris Halla where. Just as he reached the circle, he spat out Elinor from inside. Though he stood outside the circle, he spat her out inside. And the moment he did he regrated it.
Elinor was pulled out from the kind darkness into the pain of the light, not only metaphorical but physical. As the pressure of whatever the circle was doing swallowed her. She groaned in pain, head throbbing, to think anyone could’ve taken this on alone? Impossible. Still, the pain gave way to clarity. It gave way to a will to live. Her body no longer gave in to despair.
Elinor looked at the girl, fought through the pain, and was about to address the little girl who stood before her in the circle, with reassurances that everything was going to be alright. For a modicum of a second, she might’ve sounded like a Ranger.
But then Darkness enveloped everything. She could see nothing, nothing save the glinting rays of rainbows in the distance. Though that quickly changed as several orbs of light set the sky ablaze. The first of her Pokémon to die was Drifblim. Hit by the PRISMATIC LASER, Cofagrigus barely had the time to feel the fading of their ghostly connection.
Still, Cofagrigus reacted as any good Pokémon would. It stood between where it expected the attack to come from, and its trainer. A green sphere of light enveloped it. And then, a quick blink of light passed it. For a short second, it turned to Elinor, looking confused. Had the attack strayed past them?
When the circles of light returned allowing them once more to see within the Dark Zone. Elinor turned to Cofagrigus. Just in time, for though the
PROTECT hadn’t saved him, it had given him time. Tears in her eyes found a way of coming into being, even though they were all but dry after the loss of Salamence.
The sarcophagus of the Cofagrigus was slowly crumbling into nothingness from a circular wound in the middle.
“No… Not you too.” What few tears appeared were wiped away by a gentle shadowy hand. As their eyes met. He gave her a reassuring smile. Then with the other shadowy tendril hand, he popped out the golden mask, which he had carried since his rebirth as a Yamask, from the socket built into his sarcophagus body.
He made sure the little golden slits were open before placing the mask upon Elinor’s face. Using what little strength he had to quickly reform it in such a way so that it would stay on with little difficulties as if it was but a second face. The moment the mask rested upon her face, she felt the mind touch with the spirit of Cofagrigus. She sensed no sadness from the Pokémon, even though she was filled with it. And for the brief moment that they both shared, Cofagrigus shared with her a message. Be not afraid of loss. This is not the end young-one… Live on, remember us. Remember that we once lived.
And with it, the last vestiges of the Cofagrigus’ body and spirit crumbled into nothingness. Leaving her with naught but the mask on her face. It clung to her protectively.
Now within an illuminated circle of power manifested by the sudden appearance of a Lake Guardian. Her heart thumped heavily with anger, a righteous fury boiling her blood. Now, they showed themselves. NOW THEY DARED OFFER THEIR ASSISTANCE. Elinor was furious. Hands curling into fists. Where had they been when Salamence had died. Where had they been when she had lost Cofagrigus? She wanted to scream at it. She wanted to blast all her anger upon it. She wanted to teach it the PAIN she felt. But deep down, she knew it would not help nor was it what Cofagrigus would’ve wanted.
The message that the Lake Guardian near her gave was clear. Sacrifice more Pokémon, and pray that it might be enough. She didn’t want to. Luckily it was not a choice she had to make. Two Pokémon from her belt felt the energies and responded to their call. The Steelix and Aggron manifested by her side. They both growled reassuringly at their trainer.
“Are you two sure… You… you might…” die… She couldn’t say the word. But she didn’t have to. They both nodded in almost synchronicity.
“Very well then.” She steeled her resolve. No more despair, no more indecisiveness, only anger.
The three of them began to move towards the power which called to them the most, ironically for the two Steel types, that was the Titan of the Sea. Though as they ran Steelix took charge. Finding every opportunity to throw
STONE EDGE in the direction of the Giant Necrozma. Meanwhile, Aggron ran by Elinor’s side. His metal plates shining from him increasing his defenses with
IRON DEFENSE. And Elinor, well Elinor did the most human thing she could focus on the goal and tried to keep an overview of the chaos, a task which she had long since failed at.
