Generation 2 (Story)

=== Prologue ===
Jackie was angry at me. I honestly don't know why. He kept yelling at me and crying. What was up with him? I had enough and walked away from him. I balled up my fists and turned to the door. He threw a book at me "So you're just gonna walk away like nothing happened, huh?" I said nothing and kept walking. It hurt so much where I couldn't even talk. I burst open the door and ran, my cape flowing behind me. I ran far, far where I could hear his voice getting quieter as he said "I HATE YOU POST!" I never thought he'd say those words. I headed to the library to calm my nerves. No one was there except this one guy. I walked past him. I could hear his footsteps behind me, like he was following me. I looked behind me, he was following me. Weird. I opened the door to the next room. Still, no one was there. I sat down and picked up a book to read. The guy was in the room with me, leaning on the door. I look up to see him, he was walking closer. He smiles "Hey, I think there's some books you would like over there." He points to the closet. I turn to see it. Nothing sounded except his breathing and my breathing. "Sure. I like reading." I said as I put my book down wand walked straight to the closet. I opened the door, everything was dark but I could see those light bulb things that you can turn on in the middle of the room. He pushes me inside all of the sudden, I fall on my stomach but I'm okay. He waves and closes the door. I wonder why, huh. I walk towards the light and turn it on. I see books everywhere. They were all so weird and dusty, but weird is my thing. I walked further and started to take books off shelves. All of the sudden I hear something, something like a couple books falling over. I turn around to see something I never expected. It walked towards me, a cat creature except its head was covered in a black void. I waved but it grabbed my arm and pulled me towards it. Its paw fused with me, pulling me in with it.
=== Prologue (pt2) ===
I screamed as it started to take over my body, it was like it was saying "Your body is mine now, Post." I was helpless and couldn't do anything. I decided it was the end for me and let the cat thing take over my body. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep, never to be waken by my actual self again. I woke up. Well, it woke up. I looked down at my hands. They were fine and didn't have anything that didn't look like me on them. I stepped up to my feet and scratched the back of my head. Suddenly, I felt powerful. Much more powerful then I did before, of course. I walked out of the closet and look around. The guy was gone. What did I expect. How long was I sleeping for, like a few hours. That's when I noticed no one at all was here. Where did everyone go? I walked out the library to outside. I felt a wave of shock throughout my body. The sky was a blackish red. Was that normal? Not from what I remember. I thought about Jackie and ran to his house to see if he was okay. The door of his house was open, just like I left it. Why didn't he close the damn door? Whatever, like that matters. When I walked in, there was a pool of blood in the middle of the living room. I panicked, thinking: Was Jackie killed? No no no no! I ran inside, calling out his name "JACKIE!! JAAACCKIIEEEEE!" No reply at all whatsoever. That's when I hear something in his room. He's got to be in there. I burst open the door and found him. He was facing the wall and...his arms were gone...? I stared and said I was sorry. "Jackie, look, I'm sorry for whatever I did, I'm sorry." I put my hand on his shoulder and he turned around instantly. This was Jackie, but not Jackie at the same time. He had a red stitch marking on his neck, and he was looking two opposite directions. His eyes were also red like he didn't blink in days. He stepped towards me. I took a step back. "Jackie?"
=== Chapter one ===
A Cinderace named Kuma hopped around the group, doing things that others couldn't do. "What's up? You guys need something?" Vantasser nods "Yes, Kuma. We're on an adventure to kill the Post Mortal. These guys need quite a bit of help. Kuma kicks her feet in the air as if she was happy. "HELL YEAH! TIME TO KICK SOME NOVISREN ASS!" Typh smiles in a way of showing guilt. "We're going to kick people? Kicking hurts y'know..." Despair pats his back. "This guy actually needs his ass kicked. He's done pretty bad stuff, and I'm sure you would like to help, right?" Typh smiles and takes a bite of his dragon fruit. "O-okay!" He skips away with the others. About around 6:39, they were far from the city. There was no turning back. Choir looks around a corner and walks to it. The others follow. Choir picks up something from he ground and holds it up to his face. He tilts his head and purrs in a friendly way. "I do not know what this is, but it may be helpful in the future." He stuffs the object into his satchel and walks off. Alto rolls his eyes "He never even bothers to show us anything. He just says he finds something and it might be helpful to us in the future. Like- what is going to be helpful? What the hell even is it?!" Kuma laughs and nudges Alto. "He seems like a jerk." Alto shrugs and looks away "Yeah, kinda if I gotta admit." "I can hear you two talking about me." "Whatever dad!" Choir raises an eyebrow "Do I need to take you somewhere to learn manners?" Kuma holds in a laugh as Alto blushes. "No, dad, you don't." "Then behave" Venomama pats his head "Don't be such a brat Alto! Will a cupcake cheer you up?" She hands him a cupcake she picked up after leaving the city. It was still good it seemed, still edible. "I-I guess..." He takes it and shoves it into his mouth. "Say thank you, Alto." "Thanks Venomama..." Choir pats his head and smiles "Remember to say thank you at all times. You don't want your father correcting you, do you?" "No." Alto said
=== Chapter two ===
It was again hours later, and the group soon had no idea where they were all going. Choir scratched the back of his head and sighed. "This map isn't useful anymore, it doesn't show this part of Ethereal, sadly." Despair shrugs, sighing. "So we're just stuck here now?" "Maybe." Choir says as he takes a bite of something he brought before leaving the city. All of the sudden, something sounded near Manipulated. He jumped up and looked around. He walks over to the sound and finds a fox like creature, likely a Pokemon. It was an off-white with purple paws and ears. It had a tail, mane, and hair that looked like cream with red at the tips. It looked up at him with tired looking eyes. Manipulated stood still and looked around. He thought: Maybe I can catch a Pokemon! Kuma ran over before he could do anything else. "You need a Poke ball to catch a Pokemon, you can't just grab them with physical contact. Example, you can't just grab them by the neck and strangle them." Manipulated wasn't listening, he only stared at the fox like Pokemon. It backed away and made a run for it. Manipulated ran after with a "aha!". Kuma sighed. "Some of you guys are just straight up stupid..." She runs back to the group to call the others. Meanwhile, the Pokemon ran pretty fast, faster than Manipulated could. Then it stopped after a few minutes. Manipulated also stopped, panting. He looked up and gasped. The Pokemon had led him at the base of the mountain that the group was after. It wags its tail and makes a purr like noise. Manipulated smiles and laughs while the group comes up behind him. "T-thank you Pokemon!" It takes a glance at the group and looks back at Manipulated. It makes a high-pitched noise and runs away. Emotive runs up beside Manipulated and puts a hand on his shoulder. "What happened bro?" "A Pokemon lead me here! I think it liked me and wanted me to follow it more, but it ran away as soon as it saw you guys.." Kuma sighs "At least you didn't grab it with Physical contact."
=== Chapter three ===
Choir nods "Lets thank that Pokemon for leading us where we need to be. We should start climbing it today." Venomama frowns "More climbing..? What if we take eight months to get to the summit again?" "Then uhm, we'll keep going no matter what." Choir says in response. "Alto sighs. "There's Pokemon up there and it could be danger." Typh smiles and holds up a dragon fruit, "I'll give them of my berries! Maybe then they wont want to attack us!" Duality smiles at Typh and takes a berry "You're smart." Typh looks away, blushing. "Aw...thanks.." He covers his face. Minutes later, they were up and climbing the mountain. Not many living beings were seen. Sunset sniffs the air and barks softly. Emotive nods "Found something buddy?" He nods and starts searching the place for something. That's when they see a Novisren with a halo and golden wings. It was holding some sort of large book. Choir wields out his sword and walks over to the Novisren. It looks behind him and backs away. "Who are you." The Novisren giggles. "Justice. Now, I have no time to talk." It runs away. Choir attempts to follow it but it escapes on time. "New foe, it seems." Despair crosses his arms "Now we got two Novisren to hunt down!? Raghhh.." Choir sighs "Already to much. Lets just keep walking and maybe we'll find him." They keep walking, unaware that the Novisren was already above them, watching while staying hidden. It grinned (Even with having no mouth, it just made an action as if he was.), holding a moon like object in its hand. It flew away.
=== Chapter four ===
The group saw the fox Pokemon over and over again as they climbed up the mountain. It looked behind them as they walked out from behind a tree. It squeaked, as if it was calling them to follow. Manipulated ran over to it and tried to talk to it. "H-hey! Wait up little dude!" It squeaked again and jumped over a log. Choir looks around as they walked, seeing the same Novisren they saw moments ago. He meows and stops himself, looking around again to see if anyone heard but nobody did. Manipulated threw himself and the others over a fallen tree. Soon, they saw a shrine that had bells sounding. Another Pokemon, more cat like, stood in the middle. Its "tail" flowed in the air. Choir wields his sword once again, the others copying him. "Who are you." The Pokemon opens an eye as the other smaller Pokemon runs up beside them to sit down next to it. "Hello, Choir and his friends." It turns to them and smiles. "I've been watching you this whole time." Choir raises an eyebrow and glances at the group and looks back at the large Pokemon. "Tell me your name." The Pokemon walks closer, up to Choir to face him. "My name is Jeptmal, hero of The Thousand Skies. And this here is Cream, my adventure partner." "Why have you been watching us?" The Pokemon nods. "Well, you are on The Thousand Skies mountain, so of course I would watch you." Manipulated raised his hand in the air. "Why is it so silent here?" Jeptmal sighs and looks away "Something happened to the wind. For now, I can just say that the wind died for years and years." Choir nods. "Well, nice to meet you Jeptmal, this is Despair, Duality, Emotive, Venomama, Manipulated, Kuma, Typh, Vantasser, Alto, and Emotive's pet thing, Sunset." Sunset barks at Jeptmal 
=== Chapter five ===
Jeptmal pats Sunset's head and gives him a little treat that came from nowhere. "Anyway, I've heard that you guys are going to kill Post Mortal?" Vantasser nods "That's exactly what we're trying to do, sir." Jeptmal bows to the group and so does Cream. "It would be an honor to help." Choir nods "You may, but it could be risky, we don't know much of what Post Mortal can do with that gem." Jeptmal shakes his head. "Even if it may be powerful, to the point where it could almost destroy a universe, it cannot kill a deity like me. I could, and would protect all of you." Choir walks up to Jeptmal to shake his paw and bow to each other. "Now, may you tell me what happened with this mountain and why the wind is gone?" Jeptmal sighs "I used to have a friend named マウロ, but Mauro was also her name, so I'll just call her Mauro for now. We were friends who didn't have a sentient body. We were really just the wind ourselves. She said to me one day: "Jeptmal? Have you ever thought of making people? As in a new form of life, who copies another?" I mostly didn't understand, but I understood that she wanted to create a species, other then an odd colored Zeraora and a feline deity. So we created a species that was named after her, Mauro. We lived in the sky, where we had a powerful object called a card. The card holds power inside of it, it either contains dark power, plant, water, and on and off. Until one dreadful day, the Crowned Sword found us, and invaded our sky. He killed, killed brutally our people. Mauro had gone, so I went out looking for her. I was in terror when I saw her body in the arms of the Crowned sword, bleeding. He looked at me, and told me she was a goner. He told me his name was Brimstone, Crowned Sword. I dropped to my knees, knowing that everyone had fallen to down out of the sky, and Mauro, gone. The wind stopped, everything almost stopped. And even almost my heart stopped. Once I opened my eyes, Mauro, and the species were gone. All that was left was me."
=== Chapter six ===
"But I didn't give up on everything just yet. I got up to my feet, all strong, and walked around, looking for some that didn't fall. I saw a Hisuian Zorua. They were wounded, bleeding from the arm. I picked them up and healed them with my card. It sniffed me, and once I put it down, it wanted to stay on me. So they became my Pokemon, my adventure partner. I named them Cream, cream was quite a fitting name for them. We looked down at the ground, from above the sky. We saw a mountain with nothing on it except a shrine and beauty. I jumped down, far far far down with Cream still in my arms. Until we landed. We heard nothing except our breathing and footsteps. Cream sat down on one of the shrine pieces, resting. I closed my eyes and stood on one paw, holding up my arms and stood there, for a very long long time, watching people as they stood on the Thousand skies mountain. I saw all of you, listening as you guys talked about him. I waited until you came to offer peace, and help." He smiles at the group. Despair claps. "I like it, but who is the Crowned Sword?" "The Crowned Sword, like I said before is named Brimstone. His only intentions are to hurt everyone in sight." Despair raises an eyebrow at Choir, who rolls his eyes. "Another one?" "Another one" Choir says in response. Everyone lets out a big sigh. "Not again!" Venomama says
=== Chapter seven ===
FIVE HOURS LATER, 2162, FRIDAY
It was still silent with no wind at all. The group still followed Cream while Jeptmal watched them from above. They were close to the summit, but they still had a little more to go. Typh chewed on a dragon fruit while also handing one to Kuma and Vantasser. "What if there is something up there, that could like, kill us..?" Despair shrugs. "We'd hear it if something was coming, due to how silent the place is. Plus we could defend ourselves since we have things to fight with." Kuma pats Typh's head while chewing into the gifted dragon fruit. "Don't worry Typh, you'll be okay! Besides, you have your best friend Kuma with you." She winks at Typh. he smiles. "O-okay, so I don't have to worry about getting hurt?" Despair nods. "Alright then!" He takes out two more dragon fruit to munch on. Manipulated huffs and puffs, trying to catch up with the group. He was a little behind since he was curious about a few things, like twigs and such. "I honestly don't understand how the wind can die. It doesn't make sense. If the wind died here, does that mean that everywhere else doesn't have wind." Choir nods while scratching his chin. "Technically, yes. But also at the same time, no." "Is there a way to bring the wind back?" "I do not know, why are you asking a Incrediman, instead of the sky himself, who is the close friend of the wind?" Manipulated shrugs and rolls his eyes. "I don't know, maybe because he's in the sky and not on the ground?" "He has a point." Venomama agrees. Cream a while later stops walking and ends up in front of something that looks like an old temple. It sits down and wags its tail. waiting for the group to do something. Emotive scratches the back of his head and groans. "How are we supposed to get in? I see doors, except its covered in stuff like rocks." "We could ask Sunset to help and dig up the dirt while we pick up the large things." Despair suggests. Emotive nods "Great idea, Sunset! Can you dig up that dirt?"
=== Chapter eight ===
Sunset barks at Emotive and runs to the temple doors, digging up the dirt that was around it. Venomama tagged along and picked up large rocks. Cream also decided to join Sunset and dig up the dirt with him for help. When Venomama picked up the larger things, the rest of the group came in and picked up the things that they could pick up. Vantasser wipes sweat off his visor and turns to the group. "I think we are able to push open the doors now, we took out most of the rocks. And maybe, we could gather info and write it down in a book to save progress." Despair gives him a thumbs up and attempts to push open the doors. Only a little dust came out from under the door. Venomama waves. "Here, let me help!" She pushes open the door with ease. They were welcomed with darkness and of course, more dust. Sunset walked in first and barked. His barked echoed. He turns to the group and makes a head motion saying. "Lets go!" Moments after that, the group all spilled into the temple. Jeptmal sudddenly appeared behind them, most likely coming to join them. "Ah, the temple." He smiles. "Me and Mauro had come here many times to have talks. Sometimes even the species Mauro would come into the temple." "Why would they be on the ground if they lived in the sky?" Despair asks. Jeptmal only shrugs. "I don't know, but there are statues that they built of me and Mauro." "Where are they know?" "They're still there, I just haven't been there since he came." Despair frowned. "Crowned sword?" Jeptmal nods his head in a slow movement. "But its been years since I came here and I should visit." Despair pats his shoulder. "Yeah, maybe." As they walked, they saw the statues that Jeptmal was talking about. They were big in size, and had vines covering them. Moss as well. "Damn. They've been wrecked." Jeptmal nods. "Like I sad before, its been years since someone visited this place." Alto gasps. "Does that mean we were the first one to visit this place in years?!" Jeptmal laughs. "Yeah, kiddo."
=== Chapter nine ===
Soon, they found that there were more statues then just Jeptmal and Mauro. There were seven statues in total. Despair points at them. "Hey Jeptmal? What is all this?" Jeptmal turns to look, his eyes widening. "Ah, I see. Those are the five other statues of the creators of the Thousand skies. Gemini, Glory, Black Sun, Justice, and that horrid Brimestone." "Did they make stuff like how you made the sky, and Mauro made the species and wind?" Jeptmal nods and sits up with one leg on his statue. "Yes, indeed they do. Black Sun, also known as Crowned shield Black Sun, was the creator of the sun. Gemini created the weather so we'd have rain and such. Brimstone was war, death and chaos. Justice, he was faith. And last, Glory. The other side." Despair tilts his head, showing confusion. "What is the other side? What do you mean by the other side." "You don't wanna know." Says Jeptmal, hopping back onto both paws. Despair nods slowly. "Understood." Jeptmal looks up all of the sudden. "Choir? May I have your card?" Choir nods and hands him the card while Jeptmal eyes it carefully. "Ah, I see you have a Fuchsia card. It has the power of plant life." Choir nods and fixes his coat. "Well, I do enjoy plant life." Jeptmal hands it back to Choir. "Keep it. I'll still have to restore the power of the card. It could help us with Post Mortal as well." Choir stuffs the Fuchsia card back into his satchel. "Can Fuchsia cards only control plant life, or anything else?" Jeptmal shakes his head. "No, there are other cards like Salvo, Reservoir and Radiance. Salvo has the power to use fire, Reservoir is to use water, and last Radiance. It has the ability to use lightning. "I'm afraid I cannot show you, since I had lost my power to make a card." Choir nods. "There was some dropped from Brimstones attack, right?" Jeptmal nods. "Years ago it happened, so its most likely that you wouldn't find any laying around just like that. They're rare." "So you can only make one now?" "Yes." Jeptmal replies
=== Chapter ten ===
The group continues to walk around and search for things inside the temple. They found ripped pieces of cards from Brimstones, but they were hard to even make out since they didn't look much like cards anymore. Emotive sat down and stared at the statues with Sunset beside him. "I wonder what Jeptmal meant by 'the other side.' Sunset barks at him softly, as if saying "Yeah!" Emotive puts a hand on Sunsets shoulder and rubs it. They hear something coming from outside the temple, as if it was a flute. It was soft and nice sounding, but after a few seconds of the flutes sound, it sounded more violent and threatening. Duality looked up and nudged Despair, whispering to him that she heard the flute and its hostile sound. Jeptmal stood up in front of the group, growling. "I know who he is, and you don't want to be near him. He's the one of the other side, Glory." Alto frowns with a puzzled expression. "Wait, aren't you guys supposed to be kind and all?" Jeptmal nods "Yes, but ever since Brimstones attack, some of us became violent. Justice and Glory became violent, I don't know about the others, though. Glory mostly uses a flute to warn his victims that he's coming, coming to bring them to the other side." "But what is the 'other side' thing?" Jeptmal turns to him with a stern expression. "Death. The other side is death. Permanent death. You cannot revive yourself, and neither can you revive someone else. Once he has you in his grasp, you're a goner." Alto shudders "Jeez..." A tall figure holding some sort of a weapon, most likely a spear came into view. Glory put the flute down with a sharp whistle for an end. "I hear youuuu~" He says as he walks slowly but further into the temple. Jeptmal motions the group to stay well hidden and not to move. He walks up to glory, holding a ball of an electric matter. Glory giggles. "Its been so long since I have lost saw you...don't you miss me~?" Jeptmal shakes his head. "Not with all the lives you've ended." "Then I'll end yours~" 
=== Chapter eleven ===
Jeptmal suddenly lights up into a bright yellow, sparks flying off him. Glory wields out his spear with a navy blue sharpened crystal. "We aren't supposed to fight each other Glory, we're supposed to be at peace, not war." Glory giggles again, just a bit more psychotic. "Have you forgotten? I'm the creator of the other side, silly Jeptmal! He forgot!" He laughs again, pointing at Jeptmal who crossed his arms. "You are disgusting, Glory. You think you're better just by killing innocents, you psycho." Glory stops laughing but just giggles. "Its not like I even care about those 'innocents', the whole world should be wiped out since our world was destroyed by a traitor, wouldn't it be fair?" He smiles wider while leaning on his spear. "Just shut up blue stick." Glory laughs again, almost falling down to his knees. "I'm weak! The little kitty is mad~" Jeptmal growls. "Just stop it. Idiot." Glory gets back up to his feet and dusts himself off. "You're no fun, like you ever were." He rolls his eyes. "I was just teasing you, kitty~" Jeptmal walks over to him, his claws out. "If you're here to fight, then fight, or are you just going to play your stupid flute and start laughing over nothing." Glory frowns. "Is kitty angry now?" He sighs. "I guess we can fight for a little, since the whole reason why I'm here is to kill you. I've been hunting you down, y'know." "I already knew from the start you moron." Glory puts his hands on his hips and raises an eyebrow. "You need to fix your attitude kitty, that isn't going to make your reputation here any better." Jeptmal suddenly makes a loud cry and pounces on Glory, slashing his face. Blood spewed out as in result of Glory getting hurt. Jeptmal took a few steps back while Glory took his time to get back up to his feet. Glory was covering half his face, while the other side was bleeding. He covered it. "Aw...oh Jeptmal...hurting other now?" "I HURT YOU BECAUSE I HATE YOU, YOU FOOL!" Glory backs backs away from him, frowning.
=== Chapter twelve ===
He stands up in a formal position, using his spear to help him up. "Well...there always such things as tomorrow." He grins, wiping the blood off his face. "Maybe we'll meet again, Jep? I'd love to see you bleed out before me~" Jeptmal shakes his head. "Are you crazy? Why would I ever want to meet you again? I don't want to see your stupid, ugly face." Glory just smiles. "Okay, I'll see you in a bit, kitty~" He laughs, putting the flute back into his mouth. He starts playing the same violent tune he played after showing himself to Jeptmal and the group. He leaves. Jeptmal turns to the group who were hiding behind the large statue of Gemini. "Glory is one pain in the ass...fighting him in his Reservoir form would be more, well, painful. You all can come out now. He's gone." Kuma jumps out first, pulling Alto and Typh out. "Come on, we'll be the first ones to get out." The others crawl out from behind the statue. Venomama sits down and moans in frustration. "When do we find somewhere to live, like a hut or a cabin? If we stay here out in the wild for too long, we'll be hunted down by more of those guys." Jeptmal nods slowly. "Hmm...you're right, but I know somewhere, and someone we could go to for temporary shelter. We're going to one of my close friends, Black Sun before we kill Post Mortal. We need to rest up there for a bit so then we'll be up and ready to take down that Novisren." Alto steps up to Jeptmal, his head down low. "Hey uhm, Jeptmal?" Jeptmal nods "Yeah kiddo?" "There's been someone I've been looking for. It was my friend, Cornet. He's been gone for a very long time. He's been kidnapped by a creature, most likely a Novisren almost about a year ago, and I've been looking for him ever since." Jeptmal bends down and pats his head. "Don't worry kiddo, we'll find him soon. Promise." Alto hugs him tightly. "Thank you, sir." He smiles, getting back up. "Anything to help someone in need."
=== Chapter thirteen ===
After Alto was done talking to Jeptmal, Kuma waved her hand in the air to get Alto's attention. "Hey! You!" He looks up. "Huh?" She runs over to him, almost crashing into him. "You've been looking for a lost friend, right?" He nods in response. "Mhm" She smiles and drags Typh closer to them. "Me and Typh will help ya! Isn't that right, Typh?" Typh gulps. "Y-yes..." Kuma nudges him. "Come on, don't be scared little guy, its just Alto's friend that got kidnapped by someone that looked like Post Mortal. Post Mortal isn't all that scary right? Well, besides the part where he literally wants to show his dominance over the world and destroy it." Typh glares at her. "That didn't help, Kuma." She shrugs "Sorry! Anyway, we'll help you, okay?" She puts a arm around Alto's shoulder. He smiles and nods. "Okay. Thanks for the help and support guys." Typh gives him a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Vantasser and Choir were discussing things. Vantasser sighed. "Is it really necessary to see Jeptmal's friend? We don't know when Post Mortal could strike." Choir shrugs. "I recommend that we just go for Post Mortal instead, we'll have to see Black Sun another time. After that, we could help my son find his friend. The whole reason why we're actually here is because he went missing. We went searching everywhere we could. We almost gave up on hoping, but I wont give up until I make my son happy again." Vantasser nods. "So we fight off Post Mortal first, then find Cornet, then see Black Sun?" "If Jeptmal, agrees on it, then yes. Even though we might need shelter, saving the world from being destroyed." Jeptmal from the corner nods. "Seems like a plan." Choir and Vantasser both turn to him. "You heard us?" Jeptmal nods. "I can hear a lot of things, even things you can't hear" Choir nods. "That is good. We'll rest up in the temple for now if that is okay." "Again, seems like a good plan." Jeptmal says in response
=== Chapter fourteen ===
Soon, the group leaves the temple, still following Cream to lead the way. Jeptmal was back in the clouds as well. It appeared to Venomama that the air was getting colder and more brutal the more they walked up the mountain. The sky became darker, but she just assumed that it was just night. Moments later, Sunset finds something on the ground and barks loudly. Emotive walks over. "Hey buddy, what's u-" He stopped himself before he could finish his sentence. At their feet was a dead body. It was hard to identify the species but it looked humanoid and quite thin. "What the...?" Choir walks over to check out what was happening in the area. "That's a clear sign that where we're heading is clearly not safe. Expect to see more of these, you could even be stepping on a dead body." Despair crossed his arms with an angry expression. "Stop scaring everyone Choir." He just rolls his eyes. "Not trying to." As they all continue their walk, they did see more bodies as they all expected. Sunset once in a while took a break for a little snack on them. Duality spotted something in the distance. It was a Novisren, the same one they saw on their way on the mountain. It looked at her for a second, and ran away. "We're for sure getting close to where we're heading..." She said under her breath. "What?" Despair says as he overhears her. "Nothing-just saw something." He nods and gives her a kiss on the cheek. "Okay." They continue again. Cream soon stopped somewhere, turning to the the group. "Why did you stop?" Said Manipulated, picking up Cream and holding them in his arms. "I think we wants us to stop." Despair responded. "Oh?" He looks down at Cream and pats his head. "Are we here? Is this where Post Mortal is, Cream?" Cream squeaks. Manipulated smiles and looks at the group. "Cream tells me that we're finally here."
=== Chapter fifteen ===
They climb farther up the mountain, hearing voices up above them. Despair calls out for everyone to hold out their weapons just in case. Then, they reach the top. They saw a Novisren with long hair, and a dark red cape. "Post Mortal." Said Vantasser, his face plastered with shock. Manipulated scrunches back while holding Cream in his arms, looking a bit worried. "Y'know, why don't we go back to Ethereal and have a nice life without risking it?" Emotive pats his head and sighs. "Manipulated, its too late now. We're already too far from Ethereal. You want to save the world from a insane Novisren, don't you? If we don't do it now, we'll be dead." Manipulated looks away. "But-what if he kills us before we even put a scratch on him?" He shrugs. "Honestly, I don't know. But I promise you, we'll make it." He gives Manipulated a hug for comfort. Cream also squeaks in a way of attempting to show love and comfort for Manipulated. Despair throws himself over the last fallen tree that they had to get over to reach the top. He took Duality's hand and pulled her up, calling the others to follow along. "Come on guys, we got to hurry." "Hurry where?" Something says behind them. Despair turns around, pointing the sword at the persons face. "GAH-! Step back, now!" It was the Novisren they saw earlier. It also appeared to be the same one on the statues. "Wait, are you Justice?" The Novisren chuckles. "Why yes I am!" Despair lowers his sword. Justice stares straight down at him. "Do you know why I'm here?" Despair shakes his head. "To kill you, of course." He dashes towards him. Despair hisses and jumps out of the way before Justice could lay a hand on him. "Of course you're here to kill me, why wouldn't you not?" Justice smiles. "I know you're here for Post Mortal, so I'm here to stop that." Despair frowns. "You're with him?" Justice nods. "Mhm, the whole reason why he's like that."Anyway, enough chit-chat, I think its time for you to end~" He jumps towards him, but stops.
=== Chapter sixteen ===
A long, sharp blade impales Justice through his chest. Justice looks down to see himself, bleeding out a dark red blood, darker then ordinary blood. "What? What happened?" "I think I'll end you, Justice. Worthless." The blade slowly was taken out of Justice. He falls over face first, still alive, but dying from loss of blood." The holder of the blade stares down at Justice's almost dead body. "I already had from what I needed from you." Justice coughs. "What? What do you mean-?" "You realize that I used you just to get Post for me? Right? That diamond is what I want, and I used you to get it for me." Justice shakes his head. "No..t-this can't be..." The holder of the blade nods. "Mmhmm. I used you to possess Post Mortal with that cat creature, and take over his mind. Then I used him to steal that diamond from the other Incrediman deity, to destroy the universe, so I can have it." Despair turned to Jeptmal. "Who is this...? And what's going on..?" Jeptmal steps up. "Crowned sword, Brimstone! We meet again." Brimstone looks down at Jeptmal, smiling. "Well isn't it the lost Zeraora, who lost his dear friend to me? Aw...you poor thing..." Jeptmal looks away as if he was offended. "Brimstone, what are you doing?" He gets chuckles and turns away. "Destroying everything, like I wanted to do in the first place. It was my idea, y'know." Choir sighs and puts a hand over his forehead. "This just makes everything more confusing, and ten times worse than it already is." Brimstone growls at Choir, kicking Justice's body away. "Silence, Incrediman. Do you want to end up like Justice? No. I'm sure you don't." He starts walking away, laughing. He gives them a side glance. "See you at the summit."
=== Chapter seventeen ===
Despair stood still, and the group did the same. "What just happened?" they all thought. Despair turns to Justice, who is struggling. "I'm gonna go see what this Novisrens problem is." He walks over with the group following. Justice coughed blood every second, struggling to breath. Choir kicks him. "What the hell was that about, Justice? I thought I made yo-" He stops himself. "Never mind..." Justice looks at them. "I'm sorry! This all happened so fast, I'm so sorry...just-please! Spare me!" He cries. Despair puts his sword to his face. "Why would we spare you, if you're helping someone who wants to destroy the world?" "Listen, please, I wont help them anymore, just spar-" He gets cutoff by Despair, who creates a large gnash in his neck. "Fine...kill me if you want." He turns away. "Just do it, its already to painful." Despair looks at Choir, who nods. "He was right I guess. It did all happen so fast." He stabs Justice, making him bleed out everywhere. After he was done, he took the sword out of him. "Done. Now we can finally move on without some stupid idiot Novisren wanting to kill us all." Duality sighs. "Its all such a stress, but know we have some meat for Sunset!" Venomama frowns. "Speaking of food, when do we eat? This whole time we've been climbing we've been eating the berries from the bushes. Its not enough." She complains. Kuma pats her head. "Don't worry Veno, we'll eat something soon. We all feel you." She hands her a dragon fruit she took from Typh. "Here, have this for now." 
=== Chapter eighteen ===
Choir stared out ahead while the others climbed over the mountain. He turns around to look at them, his hair flowing in the wind. He smiles. "Looks like we're finally here." He bends down to see Cream and pet them, scratching behind their ears and under their chin. "Thank you, Cream." Cream squeaks in response. Once they all turn to look up at the summit, they see who they've all been looking for. The soon-to-be dead Post Mortal, holding that oddly shaped diamond, which was about to destroy the world in the matter of a few minutes. Brimstone was standing beside Post Mortal, ripping apart Justice's body, throwing it away. Choir hid behind a rock, motioning all the others to do the same. "Okay, does everyone have what they need?" Manipulated, Emotive, Vantasser, and Despair and Duality hold up their swords. Venomama picks up her great sword, and last, Alto. He holds up his bow. Sunset barks, telling Choir that he has his knife that he is going to share with Cream. Choir nods. "Okay. I will go." He starts walking away from the others, a calm expression on his face. Despair waves at him. "Good luck." Choir steps a foot in front of Brimstone and Post Mortal. Post Mortal jumps, almost dropping the diamond he was holding in his hand. "GAH-! Oh? Choir? What are you doing here?" He giggles. "To what? Stop me?" He laughs and Brimstone joins along with him. "That's exactly what we're trying to do, Post." Post Mortal gives him a skeptical look. "Who's "we're?" "Uh, us! Over here!" Manipulated jumps out from his hiding spot. "We're coming to kill you." Choir sighs in embarrassment. "Oh Manipulated..." The others follow behind Manipulated. Post Mortal nods in a slow motion, scratching his chin. "Mhmmm..." He gets up. "So you want to have a fight, eh?" Choir nods. "That's again, exactly what we want." He charges at Post Mortal.
=== Chapter nineteen ===
Choir and Post Mortal start to have a fight. Throwing punches and biting while the others wondered what to do. Alto looked down at his bow and frowned. He took out an arrow and placed it in the bow. He raised it slowly, aiming for Brimestone, who didn't notice Alto, who was about to shoot. Suddenly, a hand grabbed Alto's shoulder, shouting. "ALTO!" He looks behind him and gasps, dropping his bow. "Is that you? Cornet...?" Cornet cries into Alto's shoulder, hugging him tightly while a Novisren with a hat watched from behind. Alto noticed and frowned. "Cornet, its been so long but what the hell is a Novisren doing behind you?!" He picks up his bow and points it at the Novisren. Cornet screams at him to stop, grabbing his arm as Alto just let go of the arrow to shoot. "Don't him them! Please!" He hugs him tightly. Alto hugs him back with a worried expression. Cornet looks up at Alto, smiling. "This is Uminaoshi. He's harmless." Uminaoshi waves at them shyly. Alto glares. "Okay. What happened?" Cornet sighs. "Remember that day when I went missing? It was Uminaoshi who kidnapped me. But he had a reason." An ear splitting scream sounds from Choir. His arm was ripped off clean. Post Mortal walked past him, his body covered in his blood. "Ah, yes he did have a reason. It was for me, for me to destroy the world." Alto gasped. "Dad!" He reaches out for Choir, but Cornet holds him back. "You monster...WHAT DID YOU DO WITH CORNET? TELL ME!" Cornet pats his head. "Calm down, Alto, he'll explain.." Post Mortal giggles. "Listen here..."
=== Chapter twenty ===
"Ever since I lost my friend Jackie, I was in pure shock. I felt anger, and a mix of a million emotions inside of me. Until all I felt was anger. Until, I saw Uminaoshi. I thought he would be the perfect person to help a fellow Novisren. I asked him what he knew, he told me about a gem, a powerful diamond that could destroy a universe. I made him get it for me, to track down the person who had it, and bring it to me. When he peeked through a window, he saw Cornet, your dear friend. He told me that's exactly where it was, in Cornet's hands. He came in to get it for me, but Uminaoshi was scared and said he couldn't do it. So he took the whole person by guilt. After he came back to me, someone on his path stole it, since it seemed like he had the same idea to destroy the universe, so I went there myself to get it. I'm sure all of you saw what happened...but I didn't know what to do with Cornet, until I saw he had something very powerful...a card. A Rerservoir card. Something that is rare, and precious to many-" "That's why I want it." Someone cuts off Post Mortal. The person pulls out a flute, and plays the same violent tune that they all knew played. Jeptmal's eyes widen. "Glory. What are you doing here?" Glory takes his flute out of his mouth to let out a giggle. "Well well well. I guess we're all here together now? With a Reservoir card as well. My version?" Jeptmal turns to the group. "He wants the Reservoir card because he IS the Reservoir. He created that card." Glory smiles. "Last card, I see?" Cornet frowns and takes out a Reservoir card from his satchel that he wore. "No..." Uminaoshi makes a worried expression. "Cornet...? What's happening?" Cornet shakes his head. "I didn't know this was the last one...arghh!" He backs away from Glory, who was walking closer. Glory bends down to see him. "Don't be afraid. Give it to me." Cornet shales his head. "No." 
=== Chapter twenty one ===
Glory frowns, and a wave of anger flows through his body. He hisses and raises a fist for a punch, but was stopped by the one armed Choir, who body slammed him. Choir looks at them with worry written all over his face. "Come." Cornet, Alto and Uminaoshi all follow Choir behind a rock that was large enough to cover them. Post Mortal laughed from the distance, still holding the diamond. "Oh...this is so entertaining!" Choir turns back to the three and motions Alto to hold his bow up. "Listen Alto, I need you to at least try to knock that stone out of his hand. I'll try to get there as fast as I can and grab it." Alto nods. "Okay dad." He points the bow at Post Mortals hand, knocking the stone out of his hand the minute the arrow touched it. Post Mortal jumped, yelping. Choir ran as fast as he could towards the diamond, attempting to grab it before Post Mortal could. It was too late. Post Mortal picked it back up, laughing. Choir got back up to his feet. "This universe isn't yours, Post Mortal. You can't just destroy it with people still living their happy lives. What is wrong with you?" Post Mortal turns to him. "Oh? So you're saying...that the universe isn't mine?" Choir nods. "Its not anyone's, anyway." Post Mortal laughs, holding the gem close to his face. "Well if I can't have the universe, THEN NO ONE CAN!" Suddenly, everyone blacks out.
