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...

RESHIRAM and its rider (Razz Kingsman ).

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 (Razz Kingsman ), 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 (Razz Kingsman ), 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.
