The hall of fears, Objective: recover the second prophecy

F1 –Czar’s Location
Upon entering the tower Czar was promptly greeted by a shadow figure, looking back he noticed that his two friends were gone, looking at the figure he told him, “What is going on here, where are my friends?” “Friends, you mean those pokemon? Heh, they went on ahead without you, you should meet up with them that is, but can you endure the path that awaits you?” then the figure was enveloped around him as he disappeared into the shadows. “They went on with out me? Well, no use sticking around, when I find them I’m going to teach them never to go on without the leader’s consent.” Looking around the area, he noticed a straight tunnel leading into the room, with no other options, he walked along it; seeing if it leads anywhere, in his head he can hear a voice “No matter how long you keep it, or how hard you try to conceal it, they will find out eventually, it’s the way things work. . .”

-Lucas & Larwn’s Location

“Great, we seemed to be separated; now Czar’s going to kill us. . .” Lucas told Larwn as he began to roam around the tunnels, “Well maybe once we find him, we can give our side of our arguments,” Larwn tried to find ways not to land in hot water for both of them. “Or maybe we’ll find him on the floor, on the verge to fainting that’s when we can get ourselves out of the mess.” “Don’t say that, Larwn you know how I hate pokemon dying in front of my eyes.” Then looking front he noticed a pokemon being sliced in half as the top half landed on Lucas’s body, Larwn was astonished at the fact that a pokemon can be sliced in half out of thin air, but for Lucas. . . “AH!!!! NO!!! GET IT OFF, OH DEAR ARCEUS, WHY!!!” Lucas was petrified at the half of a pokemon and the final face expression once being sliced in half, taking a look at the face Lucas punched the body aside and took off Running. “Lucas! We have to stick together, get back here!!!” Larwn followed Lucas; trying to calm down when he noticed the hallways got darker, that’s when he noticed Gemstones everywhere and a image of his younger Brother being dragged away at the other side of Lucas’s direction and where he’s going, Looking at the image, Larwn gave chase to the image, “Brother!!!” Larwn ended up at a flight of stairs, on the side it was labeled Stair number 3, not hesitating he went up the stairs in hopes to rescue his brother.

-Lucas’s Location

Lucas ran through the halls; searching for the stairs while dodging bodies flying about, that’s when he found the stairs leading up to another room, however on the stairs were covered with pokemon standing there, however when Lucas went up the stairs, one by one, the bodies were being sliced in half, terrified, he quickly went up the stairs; not looking at the side of the stairs as it was labeled stair number 2

-Czar’s Location

Czar then noticed his partners Lucas and Larwn just standing there talking to each other. “There you are guys, where the hell have you been?” Czar asked them both as they replied; “we went up ahead since you were over analyzing about yourself and your current situation.” Czar heard them as he was puzzled; they were talking like zombies; their smiles were a little awkward, and more importantly, their tones were in a monotone like sound. “Um . . . whatever, come on, let’s get going” Czar told his friends as he located the stairs, looking at his two partners following Czar he looked at the stairs; with the number 1 on it. (Stairs with numbers, what does it even mean?) Czar looked around as his teammates shrugged, (is there more stairs, or is this is to trick us. . .) Once shrugging it off Czar went up the stairs.

-Lucas’s Location

“NO!!! GET AWAY, GET AWAY!!!” Lucas yelled out as he was being tailed by dead bodies, Lucas stopped in his tracks and saw something that scared him even more; pokemon bodies being horribly tortured and soon enough their limbs were ripped from their bodies. “WHAT THE HELL?!?!?” Lucas ran across the other hallway; trying to get away from the bodies, he closed his eyes as he ran a straight line, he can’t channel his aura to see what’s real or fake due to him being horribly terrified. However, he didn’t take long to find Stair number 2 as he went up once opening his eyes; cringing at the dead bodies flying about every time he climbs up the stairs

-Larwn’s Location

“Brother!!!” Larwn’s Brother yelled out; trying to catch his brother, however with no avail, it looked like he’s hardly making any progress to reach him. “Larwn save me!” he said over and over while Larwn began to gain speed, “Hang on Bro!” Larwn yelled out; extending a hand to his brother, however looking around the room he entered, he noticed that he entered a room with stairs, but the image disappeared, as soon as looked up he heard a voice, “Larwn help me they’re going to kill me!” his brother’s voice rang out, “I’m coming Ben!” Larwn ascended Stair number 3; being cautious of what’s going to happen next.

-Czar’s Location

“Hey Czar,” Lucas asked Czar a question, “Do you have any secrets?” “Me? Well, not really.” Czar responded back quickly, that’s when he starts to hear voices in his head again, “You still try to hide it. . . They will find out eventually, and you will pay the price. . .” Czar closed his eyes; trying to get the voice out of his head, once the voice stopped he took a look at his team, only to be astonished at the fact that their skin was a little darker, “What’s wrong?” Larwn asked Czar; his voice was a little disoriented, as so as Lucas’s. “. . . I’m fine, just an annoyance, okay I’m better now, let’s get moving.” Czar told his companions as they walked through the tunnels, after a few minutes of walking they ended up at a flight of stairs with the number 1 on it. “Well no sense in standing around here let’s move on.” Czar went up the stairs as his team members soon followed.

-Larwn’s Location

Larwn noticed that the hallways are getting even Darker, looking about he saw his brother struggling to get away from his catcher, however all that it did was sped up the catcher even more, “Larwn, don’t you care about me?” Larwn’s Brother was crying as he was being dragged off to a hallway, “Ben of course I cared about you we’re brothers!” Larwn tried to reach his brother as he ran about; seeing if he could try and attack the being, so he launched a Dragon pulse at him, however it didn’t work as the being still marched on, he could of used stone edge, but he had to stop and do the procedures necessary to make the move more effective so he had no choice but to chase him, upon ending a room where Ben disappeared, he noticed stair number 3 next to him, taking no chances he ascended up; hoping that he would save his brother again, but to do that he needs the speed and will power to press onward, even though the odds against him are not in his favor and that of the being.

-Lucas’s Location

Lucas ran across the hallways closing his eyes in an attempt to shield his vision from pokemon being killed, tortured or cut in half. At the moment where he crashed into a wall, he rubbed his head and looked up, he noticed a casket from the area he crashed head first into, however he noticed that it was going to fall on him, Lucas panicked and dodged aside, however that’s when he noticed a young pokemon looking in horror of the falling casket, screaming in terror the pokemon was squashed by the casket, All could Lucas do, was Scream in terror as he began to run through the hallways, when he opened his eyes he saw many bodies floating about and being cut in half, that’s when he began to hear voices in his head. “Death is what causes you to cringe? I can’t believe that someone of your power is afraid of death. . .” Lucas shook his head as he continued on, ending up in another room, he noticed that the ground floor was covered with a crimson red finish, this made Lucas closed his eyes and contused onwards; hearing the caskets dropping and pokemon screaming, however Lucas didn’t know that he climbed up stair number 2; heading up to the next floor.

-Czar’s Location
“So what do you think about humans guys?” Czar asked them in a nervous, “humans? I think that they are the lowest kind of beings in this world, I hate humans because all they do is capture pokemon of our kind and use them for their own selfish needs.” Larwn replied. “Same goes for me, but I hate the fact that they used our homes, resources, and acres to build their designs of destruction, that’s why when I find a human, they’ll be wishing that they should never changed the world in their Ideals in the first place.” Lucas replied as well, “Guys, do you really hate humans after all?” that’s when he heard the voice again. “You see, you can’t hide your truth after all, once they find out about you, I’m afraid of what’s going to happen next.” The voice was more intense then the ones on the previous floors as he closed his eyes and began to rub his head due to the voice causing a headache, upon looking up he saw that their skins becoming darker then before. “Czar, should we press on?” the voice became more disoriented then ever. ” Yes we must press on. . .” Czar got up and looked slightly to his left to find a room with stairs, facing the direction Czar went up stair number one

-Larwn’s Location
“Ben! Where are you?!” Larwn yelled out; seeing if he can trace the echoes of his voice for the flight of stairs he has to take to reach his brother, “Larwn!” he heard the echo coming from the south of his current position, he looked behind him as he saw a web of tunnels that lead to different rooms, normally he would search all of them, but he’s in a hurry, so he entered the web of rooms and hears the same echo as it came from the west, so Larwn entered the west room, that when the hallway behind him closed up, looking around the room, he noticed that his brother was being tortured by a group of random pokemon, “Stay. . . Away . . . From . . . My brother, you cur, take this!” Larwn charged at the group; using dragon claw as he sliced through the pokemon beating the poor Gible, looking at the Gible, he came into a conclusion that this isn’t his brother, instead it was a random Gible; the Gible beating up was a female and the last time he checked, he didn’t have sister, “Larwn! Hurry up! They’re close to killing me!” Larwn’s brother was heard as stair appeared next to Larwn “Ben! I’ll save you!” Larwn ignored the Gible and move up stair number two.

-Lucas’s Location

“Death is all around us; you can’t just ignore it and move on, no matter how happy the situation is, we all have to die sooner or later. . .” Lucas was crying at the fact that his deepest fear is all around him; dead bodies, dismembered pokemon, tiles being soaked with a Crimson red color, he just couldn’t take it. “You can’t hide the fact, you can only accept it, death is with us and soon enough he’ll look for you next. . .” All could Lucas do was run like hell towards the hallways while overhearing the voice inside his head. “No more please. . .” That’s when Lucas tripped on the stairs, opening his eyes he saw the head of a pokemon being tortured, and as he gazed at it he noticed the eyes being turned over; causing him to basically crawl up the stairs; not looking anywhere due to him closing his eyes.

-Czar’s Location

“Once this world used to be a golden age that was unlike any other, it was an age, without humans, sure there are a few territory control issues, but it was time of expansion. That is. . . Until those bastards came in and took the land like it was their own, I even lost friends due to those savages, I can never forgive them, It’s because of them my parents are dead!” Larwn yelled out which scared Czar, “Those bastards, they destroyed my home, killed my family and killed the land with their tools, which is why. . . I want them gone; dead and gone from this world!!!” Lucas was giving off a dark Aura which scared Czar even more, (Is it because of humans, is this the reason why felt such sorrow when I first met them?) Then the headache became more intense as he fell on the floor. “Because you neglected them to tell your deepest secret, the only thing you ever feared is coming into fruition, now it’s too late, you must now deal with the consequences. . .” Czar opened his eyes and saw that his two friends were gone, looking around he saw a flight of stairs leading into the fifth floor, once finished with looking around he ascended up the stair; feeling his heart beat faster,

-Czar’s Location

Upon reaching the next floor Czar was struck by a dragon pulse as he was on the floor, standing right back up “You, You lied to us!” Lucas and Larwn told Czar; their bodies beginning to glow a dark aura.” You were a Human all along?! So you kept this little charade in order to save you hide, so all along, the terrible events in our lives were caused by you all along. . .” Their bodies began to morph into something sinister. “That’s not true!” “Shut up! It’s because the likes of you that caused this world to change!” Larwn’s body was morphed into a Dusknoir while Lucas’s Body was morphed into a Darkrai, as soon as Czar saw their faces it was clear, Czar’s deepest fear, came back to haunt him. “You pitiful humans ruined the world by your actions, it’s because of you that caused all the chaos in this world, and for that you don’t deserve to live, your fear will be fodder to us, but you body itself will be useful. . .” the Darkrai picked up Czar using Psychic as the Dusknoir opened the mouth on it’s Stomach, looking at what’s going on, he knew that they are doing the same actions that changed his life. . . “No. . . Somebody please ANYBODY!!!” then with a mighty roar he yelled out. “HELP!!!!!!”

-Larwn’s Location
“Bro. . . It’s too late, they already. . .” Larwn was trapped in a room with no way to escape, “why . . . why did you leave me to. . . to. . .” then all Larwn heard was an explosion and a yell, after that, nothing but dead silence, this caused Larwn to double back and cry, he failed to protect his brother and as a result, he’s all alone now. “Ah yes, brotherly love, a love shared by two males who were born from the same blood, however I guess that love isn’t just enough to save your brother. . .” then the room began to turn pitch black, but It doesn’t matter anyway, you’re more then enough to feed on. . .” Larwn tripped and landed on his rear end as he felt the darkness consuming him; leaving nothing but the fear he had in him. . .

-Lucas’s Location

Lucas felt like he’s going to pass out; dead bodies, severed limbs, and more, when he opened his eyes he saw a lone pokemon standing there, with a scream coming from the being Lucas stood there; paralyzed with fear as the body inched closer to Lucas, while that happened darkness began to spread in the room, causing it to go pitch black. “So you accept your fate. . . Death is every where; just waiting for the being to breath in his final breath before taking him away from the mortal coil, however for you. . . Death will be absorbing you; leaving only your fear behind. . .” with nothing to do, the members of team Ragnarok are doomed to wander the halls of origin, Forever. . . “I am what you fear the most, I have conquered you all, and for that I shall claim my prize: your souls. . .

-The truth

“Hold it!!!” a voice rang out as time froze in the two rooms where Lucas and Larwn was in, as Larwn and Lucas blinked they moved away from the main causes of their demise. “What the. . .” Larwn and Lucas were surprised that time stopped for them, however appearing from the shadows, a hooded figure appeared in front of the both as Larwn and Lucas saw each other in the darkness, looking at each other they stared at the hooded figure. “Who. . . Are you?” Larwn asked the question. “Who am I, well my name’s Czar,” the hooded figure revealed himself; it was a young boy with blond hair and green eyes that caused time to stop. “Czar Kaze,” he told them. “Wait . . . You’re Czar?! But how, Czar’s a Charmander not a human!” Larwn was astonished that the young boy is named Czar. “True, he is a Charmander, but I am his explorer’s spirit, the Czar you know was a human one time, but he died for the sake of his team and because of that he was reborn into a Charmander.” The figure changed form into Czar’s body; a Charmander. “you see, this is his fear; being hated just because he’s a human, just like how you fear that your brother might be taken away again Larwn, or you Lucas; seeing dead bodies everywhere, but in all truth, this is all an illusion; trying to warp your minds as you try hard to run away from it, however instead of running away from your fears, fight them!” Czar’s spirit told them, “Yeah, because I never noticed before, all we done is run away from our fears, instead we should stand up to them and overcome our fears.” Larwn told Lucas and Czar’s spirit, “so wait, if this is all just an illusion, then you’re an illusion too?” Lucas asked him. “Yes I’m nothing more then an illusion; created by Czar’s Deepest fear: being afraid that all of his new pokemon friends will hate him because he was once a human, and just like me, he needs you guys to overcome his fear, because in his heart, you’re his best friends.” He told Both of them, looking at the illusion Lucas and Larwn began to walk through the darkness with new resolve, then the walk soon transformed into a run, while running, the illusion Czar ran beside them as he told them both, “I’m counting on you guys,” They both nodded as their paws and claws began to glow with a white color, then with a mighty punch and a slash, they broke through the darkness.

-Facing the demons-

Dusknoir and Darkrai looked up at the two walls as they were smashed into pieces, “What?!” they both yelled out; putting A terrified Czar down on the ground and staring at the walls, “Darkrai and Dusknoir,” Illusion Czar, Lucas and Larwn stepped out of the destroyed walls as they looked at Darkrai and Dusknoir with an determined look on their faces, “Heh. . . well Lucas, it’s a pleasure to meet you again, so I guess you’re not a fan of dead bodies. . .” Darkrai said with a laugh, “Larwn, were you able to save your brother?” Dusknoir said with a laugh. “You just arrived in time; I was hoping for more pokemon to feed on,” Dusknoir’s mouth on his stomach began to open as it began to chomp “Czar!” Larwn and Lucas ran towards Czar’s side as he pulled him away from Darkrai and Dusknoir. “Guys . . .? Heh, what a fine mess this turns out to be,” Czar told them; standing up and facing the pair of pokemon that stood in their paths. “Listen Czar, I don’t care about anything you hide from us; what really matters now is that we’re all friends and you can tell us anything you want, and we’ll still like you no matter how life-changing the secret is. . .” Lucas told Czar as he saw Larwn nodding as well, then seeing Illusion Czar standing next to them he told Czar, “You can face their fear, and they can face yours, all you have to do is believe in yourself that you can defeat the demons that haunt in your heart, you just need to have faith and the courage, I know you can do it, after all, I am you,” he said with a smile. Upon hearing illusion Czar’s words, his tail flame grew bigger as he can feel the support of his two teammates and the spirit within him, “I will help you guys in this fight, but only if you can conquer your demon from within Czar.” Illusion Czar told the Trio; entering the battle as well, Darkrai and Dusknoir waved their hands as the team’s fear came into place, however Czar’s fear was completely removed from the combined attack since he now placed his full trust on his friends; causing the illusions to greatly weaken, “What, our illusions. . .” Darkrai tried to conjure up some more scary visions, but failed, “they’re. . . Disappearing,” Dusknoir was shocked at the fact that Ragnarok knew the truth; thus causing them to fight their fears, “We already faced our fears from the moment this Illusion came and told us about the truth, besides during our travels here, we already faced them,” Czar told the pair as they stood there; awestruck, that just leaves two things left to fear: you guys,” Lucas told Dusknoir and Darkrai as they set their sights at the group, “Now then let’s show you how to really fear someone!” Larwn fired off a Dragon pulse while Lucas fired an aura sphere, finally Czar fired off a Flamethrower at the pair, then Illusion Czar gave off the final blow, “No. . . No, NO!!!!” the pair of pokemon yelled as they soon disappeared from sight once the blast cleared away from their sights.

-Aftermath

Upon the two pokemon being blasted to kingdom come, Illusion Czar applauded them as he went to the center. “Good job you guys, you managed to defeat your demons, now all that is left is one more fear,” He focused at Czar; nodding as he needs to do something, “You helped them face their fears, now its time that they should help you face your fears.” Czar nodded as he looked around and picked up a few sticks and placing them in the center of the room, then using his tail he lit the sticks on fire, after that they sat in a triangle as Czar began to tell them his deepest secret that caused his deepest fear, as Czar kept talking, Illusion Czar began to disappear from sight, reverting back to Czar’s spirit; the human, he waved at Lucas and Larwn one last time before disappearing. “Do you remember anything back when you were a human Czar?” Lucas asked him. “Not anything, the only thing that I remembered was my blacksmithing skills, and my sarcastic b*****d ways,” he said with a laugh. “So what’s it like being a human?” Larwn asked Czar. “It was fun, up to the point where you get swallowed by the darkness that is Darkrai and Dusknoir, I was killed by those pair; trying to protect my friends, so I take it that you guys hate them both since they were your fears, that and other things as well.” Czar moved his hand close to the fire; feeling the warmth of the flame. “Yeah. . . Darkrai haunted my dreams and almost caused my family to separate.” Larwn told him. “I was attacked by a Dusknoir once, and let me tell you; toxic plus double team is a broken combo right there.” Lucas said which made Czar and Larwn laugh. After a few questions and laughs Czar stood up and so did his teammates as Czar told them, “I’m begging you, please keep this a secret, if anyone finds out that I was a human once, they’ll look for me and share their hatred for humans, well at least some of them,” Czar pleaded, looking at his friends they nodded, “your secret’s safe with us.” Larwn and Lucas told Czar, Czar felt the weight on his shoulders loosening up as he could breathe easier now since they have Czar’s back, once after conquering all of their fears, the door leading to where all the teams are meeting up opened in front of them. “Come on guys let’s go meet up with the rest of the guild members, I wonder if they have any interesting stories to tell. . .” Czar laughed a little as they all ran towards the opening; meeting up with the guild members, the guild master, and the two humans.
