This is going to be a wall of text-ish chapter too!
Chapter 5: End of Time
As soon as they stepped into the rift, they started twirling around in nothingness.
"Not again.... I think I'm going to throw up this time...."
And just, as Mayle wanted to eject her last meal, they stopped spinning.
Mayle and Zaro recognized the dimension they were in.
"Hey, do you think Palkia saved us again?"
"Don't know.... But I thought he couldn't control Time?"
"Wait, now I know why I got the feeling I was missing something when you told about the 'Deity of Space'... So that being send you to my world.. But why?"
"Well uhm....."
But before anyone could react, 2 large beings appeared from out of nowhere.
It were Palkia AND Dialga.
The first thing they did, was scoping out Mark, whom obviously got creeped out.
"D-D-Did I do something wrong???"
"THIS IS NOT HIM."
"GOOD, THEN IMPERFECT HAS NOT NOTICED THE TIME LOOP I PUT HIM IN YET."
"Imperfect????"
"YES. THAT BEING THAT ATTACKED YOU. IT REFERS TO HIMSELF AS IMPERFECT."
Mark came to his sense and overcome his fear for the 2 deities.
"I don't get it... Is it an other me? As in, what the, 'me', wrote in this letter?
Mark pulled the envelope out of is jacket.
Palkia:"......THAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND YET."
Dialga:"HE IS GOING TO BREAK FROM THE LOOP IN 15 MINUTES."
"....MMM, THEN WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SEND YOU ON ANOTHER MISSION."
"WE HAVE FOUND A WAY TO STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF TIME AND SPACE, AS WELL AS THE DESTRUCTION OF MANY WORLDS.
"YOUR TASK IS TO FIND THE 3 BEINGS OF EXISTENCE. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM AND THAT IS WHY WE WILL SEND YOU BACK TO JOHTO."
"THERE, YOU MUST FIND BILL, THE INVENTOR. HE CAN HELP YOU FIND THEM.
"....My head hurts...."
"So we must find an inventor named Bill...."
"Hey, wasn't he the inventor of the Deposit System?"
"But what is he doing in Johto?.."
"THERE IS NO TIME LEFT. IMPERFECT IS BREAKING FREE"
Palkia created a portal and send the group through it.
-Meanwhile, on our world-
"Nice try Dialga......"
The man's eyes lit up and the man broke through the time loop.
"It's
time to pay them a visit. But first..."
He closed his eyes and his whole appearance changed.
The man now looked exactly like Mark, only between 10 to 20 years older.
He summoned a mirror in front of him.
"I'm perfect again."
He started to smile in an very evil way.
"Now where have you gone..."
And the man disappeared instantly.
-In the Between-
"IMPERFECT IS COMING. NOW"
Palkia and Dialga readied for a battle.
A distortion appeared and the older version of Mark floated out of it.
"I WILL DESTROY YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, IMPERFECT!!!"
Palkia used Spacial Rend on the man. However, the man did a Double Team like move to evade the attack.
Then, Dialga used a Time Based attack that focused on the area that the man, Imperfect, at that moment was. Again, the man evaded the attack in the same fashion as before.
Imperfect: "Oh Palkia.... *Shakes head* Just because I wasn't able to kill you back then.....Does not mean I'm not able to destroy you now ..."
Imperfect laughed in an menacing way and unleashed an energy beam from out of nowhere, directed at Palkia.
The attack struck hard and damaged the second gem from Palkia's shoulders.
Palkia let out a fierce roar and showed sign of fatigue.
Imperfect readied a red colored ball of energy for the final blow for Palkia, but Dialga interrupted the attack by putting Imperfect's hand in a time loop.
Immediately, Imperfect shifted his attention to Dialga.
"Tssk, tssk, tssk... I almost forgot about you..silly me... But I'm affraid your
Time has come as well...." *Imperfect laughed in an very evil way.
Imperfect broke free from the time loop and summoned a glowing sword from out of nowhere and charged at Dialga in an incredible speed.
Dialga used a time warp to dodge the attack. However, when re appearing, Imperfect managed to teleport himself in the vicinity, hacking away viciously at Dialga. Dialga dodge but Imperfect got 1 hard hit on Dialga's gem.
"You should have realized by now, that you don't exist for me. I am ABOVE TIME!" *Imperfect had an insane look on his face*
Palkia launched a Hyper Beam at Imperfect but Imperfect dodged it and used a Warp attack to switch places with Dialga, putting Dialga in the path of the Hyper Beam.....
- A few minutes earlier. Somewhere in the Pokemon World -
"Don't remind me of the big fiasco!"
A man slams his fist on the desk in an office.
"But sir! We have found some interesting footage from the Between!"
"Since when have we visual from the Between!?"
"Just now sir!"
"Hhrmm...... Okay, this had better be good...."
The secretary sighed relieved and pulled a remote out of her pocket.
She clicked on it and a huge holographic screen came down from the ceiling playing the footage.
The footage showed the 2 Deities sending something through a dimensional crack and a huge fight between the deities and a normal looking man.
"Who or what is that guy fighting Plakia and Dialga? Do you know who that is yet?"
"Uhm, no sir. But they refer to him as Imperfect."
The man thought for a while and gave orders to the secretary.
"Here are the new orders for the Team! A. Find out what Palkia and Dialga send through the crack and where to. B. Find all information about this 'Imperfect', ASAP. C. Give me a life feed to my office. I want to see what is happening live!"
The secretary went away in a hurry. The man set down behind his desk and watched the live feed from the Between. He watched shocked as the following happened in the Between.
In the Between
"ROOOAAARGH!!!"
Dialga was blown away several kilometers from the Hyper Beam. Dialga's gem was badly damaged.
Imperfect laughed menacingly.
"I told you I was above Time? Why couldn't you see it coming....your death?"
Imperfect charged at the fatally wounded Dialga. Palkia tried 1 last Spacial Rend to stop Imperfect but failed........
- Somewhere in the Pokemon World -
The man sat in his office, looking with utter horror at the holographic screen as he saw Dialga get hit by an intense energy attack from Imperfect.
The man pushed on a button on his desk.
"Saturn, bring the R.I.F.T team back online ASAP!"
"Yes sir, we will be ready in 5 minutes"
"Good, in the mean time, re-direct the Between Cam's controls to my office!"
"Understood!"
The desk flipped over to reveal an huge control panel with lots of buttons and various computer screens.
"He won't kill Palkia....."
"ROOAAAAAARGH!!!!"
Cyrus looked at the holographic screen and saw how Imperfect dealt the final blow to Dialga, whiping it's essence from existence.
Cyrus used the newly flipped over control panel to send the Between Cam in the vicinity of Imperfect to distract him.
Meanwhile in the Between, Imperfect redirected himself towards Palkia.
*Laughs*"See that things have changed since our last meeting, Palkia. Know that our last fight was just a fluke that you almost beat me. However, this is where it ALL ENDS!!!"
Imperfect charged at a terrified Palkia.
"Cease your actions at once!"
Imperfect was stopped in his tracks due to the Between Cam crossing it's path, something he clearly did not expect.
"Get-out-of-my-way!!!!"
Imperfect punched the Between Cam to smithereens. Palkia seized this opportunity to flee, badly wounded and tired.
Imperfect screamed and shouted out of utter anger in the emptiness of the Between.
