DUSK and DAWN 
Book 3 Chapter 7
Beginning of the End pt. 2

The gods having intervened in Herro’s berserk rage over the loss of his father and proceed to create a large portal and goad the heroes into following them into the dimension of the gods.

Herro: Why of all times did they stop me!
Dusk: As far as I know the Masters have a scheme up they’re proverbial sleeves and whatever it is they went as far as preventing Dark from being killed.
Hikaru: And that will be they’re greatest folly of all.
Takeru: Alright, from here there are three paths to follow.
*Three portals to open in front of them*
Takeru: The two on the sides are the fastest routes, but they enter the sanctities of the Time and Space gods respectively. 
Auran: And the one in the center?
Takeru: The direct route, but it also takes the longest.
Shana:  Father made it clear that only he or me and my siblings could ever go through there.
Herro: The direct route eh, I’m going through this one.
*Two Golurks fall down from the sky*
Golurk A: (Not Gijinka) Halt, none shall pass through.
Golurk B: (Also not Gijinka) Go through the other portals.
Herro: *Aura glowing a bright white* You dare stop me! Twin Attack technique: Twin Hyper Beam!
Golurk A: Impossible!
Herro: FIRE! *Hyper beams fire from both hands destroying both Golurks from the waist up*
Dusk: What the hell!
Thud*both of whatever remained of the bodies fall*
Herro: Nothing will stop me from killing Dark, not even the gods themselves.
Dusk: Takeru, Hikaru, let’s go, straight forward.
*they go through the portal*
Auran: Dravir you go with the girls, I’ll take Kyte and Hiro.
Kyte: Since I’m still a member of the Organization, I’ll continue following your orders, for now.
Hiro: It would seem that I have no choice in the matter, I shall follow as well.
Shana: I’ll follow them, seeing as I know this place all too well.
*they go through the left portal*
Dawn:  Sara, what do we do now?
Sara: *thinking* What was that brutal anger, I’ve never been so afraid of Herro before.
Aerin: Oi, princess would you like to make a decision in this millennia or the next. Cause if you ask me I would really like some front row seats to see Dark die.
Sara: *out loud* Oh I’m sorry, we’ll go through the right portal, straight at the Goddess of Space herself.
Dravir: I wonder what Auran has in store for the God of Time.
*Back with Auran’s Team*
Kyte: What is this place?
Dias: *Off-Screen* This is the holiest of all Mountains. This is the sacred Dragon Mountain Peak. And for you interlopers, this will be your grave.
Hiro: We have to be careful; he has full control of Time. If he wishes it he can just pause time and proceed with killing us before we know it.
Dias: Where would be the fun in that? *picks up a giant axe*
Kyte: One-Hundred Poké-Dollars says that it’s made of Diamonds
Auran: Get hit by it to see if you’re right.
Dian: Making jokes before your demise, commendable.
Kyte: Just shut up, I don’t care if you’re a god or not, Umbra was like a father to me, and I’m supposed to let you worthless Gods have the glory of killing that worthless bastard, oh hell no! DARK PULSE! *Fires at Dias’ face*
*A quick flash of silver appears as the dark pulse explodes*
Auran: What the hell, did you get him?
Kyte: No.
Dias: *barrier flashes around him* You see as the Creator god of time I can move certain attacks out of existence. 
Hiro: Moves calculated, planning complete. 
Dias: What are you talking about boy?
Hiro: If you Worthless Gods would have realized by now, my name is Hiro, The Blind Master Tactician. I can’t see but from my hypersensitive hearing and my feeling of the ground below us and the wind conditions, plus that you are not only a Dragon type, you are also a Steel type as well, I’ve devised a perfect plan that will defeat you, in no more than 2.8 minutes. Auran, fire an Aura Sphere at him after we use Fire Blast.
Kyte: We?
Hiro: Yes, I did anticipate that you know Fire Blast.
Kyte: Damn you really are good, alright then Auran, let’s go!
Auran: Roger!
Kyte and Hiro: *Jump to opposite sides of Dias: Fire Blast Combination!
Dias: What the hell! *Barrier flashes until it shatters*
Auran: Time to go in with the finishing blow! *Begins to charge up an Aura Sphere* Point blank Aura SPHERE! *Fires it into Dias’ chest*
Dias: Damn you *pushed a few feet back*
Hiro: Did it work?
Dias: You bastards, you messed up my armor. *points to a dent in his chest plate*
Hiro: Impossible!
Shana: What did you expect he’s known as the god with diamond hard strength and defense.
Dias: Sister, you should have stayed in the Distortion World like a good girl, now you’ll die with these fools.
Shana: Brother, don’t –
Dias: *Eyes glow orange and diamond crest on chest plate glows a bright blue, tail fin grows larger as a ball of swirling energy forms in front of his face and opens his mouth* Roar of Time! *An indigo beam fires out*
Shana: NOOO!
Kyte: Shit!
Hiro: Crap!
Auran: Damn! *Disappears*
Kyte: *opens his eyes* What, I’m still alive.
Hiro: We’re all still alive.
Shana: Auran, w… what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Kyte: What are you… *eyes turn to a look of horror* 
Auran: *blocking attack with his body* Someone has to keep you all alive, Kyte, you have a girl that loves you, Hiro, I’m more than sure Ruki wants you, and Shana, you still that burning hatred of the gods that locked you up, you still need to fulfill Master Drakel’s wishes for a world without a wars.
Kyte:  Auran, what the hell, you’re gonna die if you keep this up.
Hiro: Damn it, you have people that care about you.
Shana: What about Dravir-
Auran: Shut up! It doesn’t matter, as if you didn’t know all ready, I only have two months left to live, and that medicine of mine stopped working for me. If I’m going to die, I’m doing it on my own terms. *Beginning to fade away* Damn not much time for me left. Just remember, after he stops, attack with your strongest attacks!
Shana: Auran!
Auran: *Almost completely faded away* Sorry my Goddess, just make sure to tell Dravir… tell Dravir that I love here. *Fades away completely as the attack ends*
Shana: AURAN!!!
Kyte: Damn it you- 
Hiro: *Runs straight at Dias* DAMN YOU! *Starts to glow red* OVERHEAT! *Slides underneath Dias and fires a bright yellowish-red flame*
Dias: *Launched in the air* What the hell!
Shana: *in the air in Origin Forme* Damn you, Dragon Pulse! *launches a massive green ball of light down at Dias*
Dias: Gah! *sent spiraling down until he starts falling on his back*
Kyte: Ice Beam! *creates a stalagmite from the ground*
Dias: Gah *impaled through the back by the stalagmite*
Kyte: *Jumps on top of his body* You bastard, you deserve to die! *raises his scythe* Night Slash! *Brings it down to his face as he’s teleported away*
Dias: *Whistles* Shit that was too close. I almost ended up being reset. *pulls himself of the ice stalagmite* If I was reset now there would be no way to work on this. *pulls out a lantern holding a sparkling blue light* Two months, eh?
*minutes earlier with Sara’s team*
Sara: So where are we now?
Dravir: It seems to be a sort of tower.
Palia: That’s correct, the elemental pillar of water to be more accurate.
Dawn: That would mean that your powers are amplified inside this tower.
Palia: Exactly, would the rest of you like to hear the explanation behind these towers, though as a Tower Guardian yourself you don’t need to hear this, do you, Dravir Londe.
Dawn: Dravir?
*The Espeon girls all turn to her*
Dravir: My family has been the Elemental Pillar of Wind’s guardians ever since its creation millennia ago. I myself have been the guardian ever since my mother passed the task down to me decades ago.
Aerin: *scratching her head* Just wondering, Dravir, how old are you?
Dravir: *Angry* Don’t even ask that question!
Aerin: Sorry *Softly* I just wanted to know.
Palia: Continuing! Back when the Ancients were created, the Pillars were created and placed in certain locations, or locales of the world that were under the control of certain gods. Those pillars were able to enhance certain elements, just as the Pillar of Darkness enhances Dark types; this pillar enhances my Water abilities. It also hid certain weapons for Ancients. As the Pillar of Darkness held Dusk’s Black Claymore, this one contains the Ancient of Water, Uisce’s Hydro Bow.
*A burst of water shoots up from the floor*
Palia: *reaches in and pulls out a bow made of water* This was her bow, the same bow that she refused to shoot Drakel with.
Dawn: Mistress…
Palia: You ancients disgust me!
Dawn: *Shocked* Mistress!
Palia: You were supposed to be the physical embodiments of your elements, but you all died like dogs, trying to stay loyal to your masters, you were all mowed down by your own brother! *Draws the bow string and fires a water arrow at them*
Dravir: Get back!
Palia: Surf! *Creates a large wave and rides on top of it*
Dawn: Aerin, Sara use psychic! 
Both: Roger, Psychic!
*All three of their eyes turn blue as they create a barrier. 
Dravir: Wow this is the strength of Psychic types.
Dawn: Now then, we’ll push back using psychic again, understood?
 Sara: Yeah!
Aerin: Yep.
Dawn: Alright, at the same time release your barrier and push back! GO!
*The barrier fades and they push back using the remnants of the barrier*
*on top of the water* 
Palia: It seems that I underestimated those three, huh!
*The water breaks as Dravir launches herself out of the water*
Dravir: Londe family secret technique: ExtremeSpeed and Dragon Claw: Hypersonic Dragon Claw! *Disappears and reappears while slashing at Palia multiple times*
Palia: Damn you! *Falls into the water*
Dawn: *Raises her arms and her eyes turn green* Telekinesis! * Lifts herself, Sara, and Aerin into the air*
Sara: Wow, I never knew that you know that move.
Dawn: *eyes still glowing* I may not be much of a fighter, but I do know plenty of moves that can aid or debilitate.
Palia: Nice job, my little Ancient! *rises from the water* You passed my test.
Dawn: Test?
Palia: Of course, I wouldn’t be trying so little if I wanted to kill you now.
Dawn: *eyes turn normal* Mistress!
Aerin: Whoa don’t be doing that! We’re still over the water.
Palia: Don’t worry; I am the goddess of space after all. *teleports them to a meadow* Is this place more suitable.
Dawn: Much more.
Palia: Now then, I believe it’s time for you to move on, Father won’t be able to take on Dark by himself, his arrogance exceeds his own abilities.
Sara: Why can’t Lord Arcadia just make Dark disappear from existence?
Palia: Because, where would all that hatred and darkness and evil go to? Think about it for a second, all that darkness and corruption has to be kept somewhere after all. Being Dark has been dead for over two decades and brought back only to make himself a new body, sending him to hell would be a pointless endeavor. And erasing him from existence would wipe out important years of this world’s history, and rewriting history is a very dangerous game. Besides due to the meddling of Yōkai, Dark is far too powerful to wipe out from this world.
Sara: Herro, he’s starting to frighten me.
Palia: You mean when he destroyed the two guardians with a move that would be normally impossible to use. Yes, I took note of that, his aura is changing again, and I’m more than sure you know who of all people have a pure white aura.
Sara: Ignis.
*Finally with Herro’s team*
Herro: Finally out of that damned pathway.
Dusk: You didn’t have to kill all those guardians.
Herro: There were some that gave up.
Takeru: At least there were some that gave up.
Hikaru: Oh no!
Takeru: It can’t be.
Dusk: Master Arcadia!
*Turns to show Dark sitting on top of a large throne with his feet on top of Arcadia’s body like a foot stool*
Dark: Ha ha ha! What the hell took you Slowpokes so long to get here! I almost started eating without the VIPs *Manically laughing*
