More allies manifest and appear around
XERNEAS and
bryan delarosa before long. Though bloodied and burnt, Remiel manages a weary smile at the sight of
jayden cross and
Felix Gallagher before nodding with approval. Only the dramatic
ROOST of
RESHIRAM nearby serves to momentarily draw his attention away from his Rocket compatriots... and the devil looming over them.
Suddenly,
XERNEAS brims with the power of
GEOMANCY, sending it over those who surround it like a wave. Both Remiel and
ZEKROM and reinvigorated by this life-giving force, though it seems to manifest differently within them as it has the others. A chilling spark runs down the length of their respective spines, followed by a warm feeling that spreads throughout. The black dragon shifts its eye to meet gazes with its avatar... and unspoken confirmation that he feels it, too.
The raw power of their connection seems stronger than ever now. But, more than that, they appear to share it with...
Further investigation, however, is put on hold by the sudden appearance of
VALERIO DACHEV and his
LUNALA. Remiel had heard he'd disappeared after the incident. He figured Walsh wouldn't be so cruel to
kill him. Regardless, the man's reappearance and aid seems to provide just enough time to help the
LAKE GUARDIANS manifest a fascinating
RED CHAIN.
If the myths were true, this was the chain said to be able to harness the power of creation and destruction itself...
Rather than linger in thought about it (and the
CREATION TRIO), however, the prince compels himself to focus on the task at hand and buy the
LAKE GUARDIANS more time. The strange, somewhat familiar, connection between himself,
ZEKROM,
RESHIRAM, and its rider (
Raziel Beckett ), calls out to him yet again. He knows what they must do, and he's not shy about addressing it.
"It's time we introduce ourselves to one another," He begins, staring down the masked man and briefly imagining an image of himself as
ADMIN FOX. The irony was certainly not lost on him.
"You can't stay behind that mask forever. Though, given our company, I might understand why you wouldn't remove it now..."ZEKROM, in the meantime, slowly turns itself to fully face
RESHIRAM. There is a glimpse of remembrance in the black dragon's plasma blue eyes, but it fades before forming in full. It knows there is a wealth of forgotten history somewhere there, buried beneath the trauma of torture and genetic manipulation. Or, perhaps, this legendary amnesia is simply a symptom of old age.
Regardless of that history, and the seemingly innate connection between the two avatars themselves, Remiel continues before too long. He extends an open hand out towards the masked man (
Raziel Beckett ), palm facing upward.
"My name is Remiel Calcifet , and I'm asking that we unite our power: right here, right now." Suddenly, blue tendrils of electricity spark over his arms and hand like winding snakes. This goes hand-in-hand with the distinct whir of
ZEKROM's tail-turbine. It, too, begins to spark and grow in intensity as the seconds go on. Storm clouds are summoned overhead, complete darkness staved off by bolts of thundering blue lightning crackling in their greyish wombs.
"We'll show NECROZMA the power of our FABLED FIREBOLT!"
The storm intensifies as roars of thunder fill the air. It appears ready to obscure, then accept, the power inherent to
RESHIRAM— before becoming a part of it altogether in a
single, explosive, electrifying attack.
