Navy sinks. Genevieve Cromwell rushes to save him. it's not an unexpected outcome. if there's one thing the sheriff is good at, it's making bonds. he'll survive today, of that you're sure. but tomorrow? you couldn't say...[break][break]

...ah. that's your third win of the day, isn't it? yes, with june sleigh defeated twice over and MATIAS SILPH forced to scurry away with tail between his legs, this makes for three wins and zero losses. how effortless. how exhilarating! the winged king and his blessings exceed your expectations at every turn. your ego swells and your divinity soars. with every passing second, your new godhood feels less like a boast and more like a fact. grass is green, rain is wet, and shred is above even heaven itself. is there even anyone left in the old world who could even possibly hope to challenge you?[break][break]

yes. one.[break][break]

and as you glance up to your companion, you know. as you follow its gaze, you're already keenly aware of who it's found. as the ouroborous swallows its tail, you once again find yourself where you've been before.[break][break]

palkia, and with her, illeana reyes.[break][break]

"...YOU."[break][break]

in that moment, an uncontrollable anger shatters its prison and overflows from within you. weeks and month of suffering, of failure, of grief, of worthlessness, of pure unrelenting anguish, they all burn deep within your furnace of a heart. your teeth grit and your eyes go wide. your fists clench so tightly that your bones begin to crack. every muscle in your body begins to tremble with sheer hatred. here she is, once again, to cast you in her shadow. your warden. your oppressor. your murderer.[break][break]

but this time, things are different. this time, you're equal. no. not equal. you're better.[break][break]

as your rage bubbles over, everything else fades out. annalise henderson and MATIAS SILPH and Josh Devlin and Hitoshi Inoue and jayden cross and Alba Evovae all become little more than shadows under the sun. instinctively, your hand reaches into your pocket, and pulls out something small yet sharp.[break][break]

"WINGED KING!" you howl, raising a purple-tinted Z-crystal up to your face. you take a deep breath to clear your throat and calm your shaking fingers. "KILL THAT FUCKING DRAGON!"[break][break]

CRUNCH.[break][break]

the crystal shatters between your fangs. as you choke down the shards and splinters and the blood that follows, Z-energy pours from your mouth like dragonfire. violet coalesces around scarlet, and as the prime paradox drinks deep of this foreign power, it finds a new apex to reach. with a roar of newfound power, red and purple mix into a brilliant, violent aura.[break][break]

the winged king ascends high into the air. then, like a meteor descending upon the world, it descends. a DEVASTATING DRAKE crashes toward palkia, though the burning flames of a boundless spirit spread far further than the site of impact, and those unfortunate enough to feel them will find them neither discerning no merciful.[break][break]

but simple dragonslaying isn't enough. there's one other who needs to die, too.[break][break]

"ILLEAAAAAAANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"[break][break]

at the zenith of the winged king's attack, you leap from his back. all the orichalcum you can muster pools around your arm, turning it into formless, brutal mass of sharp edges and jagged points. and, as you fall towards her, you swing this weapon of your hatred down upon the alchemist as hard as you possibly can.[break][break]

TL;DR - shred, having thoroughly cyberbullied his former friend, goes to muck in with the right-side sooty fight and-- uh oh is that palkia? OH GOD OH FUCK HE'S ATTACKING WITH FOOLISH RECKLESS ABANDON AGAIN! HIS LEGENDARY POKEMON IS USING A Z-MOVE ON ANOTHER LEGENDARY AND HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE!!! RUN TEAMMATES RUN!!!!! (one salac teehee)[break][break]
