Marisa made a quick landing as she took out one of her Items she got after flying into a strange portal thing...What do you mean i shouldn't bring up the mirage portal?? What, should i just say marisa happened to stumble onto Gibido bandages?? Your outta your marbles.

Regardless, Marisa started wrapping up her body with the 20% healer's, Before suddenly, yet another blade of Kaledo's flew at her. Not good, as it didnt even have a chance to miss, as smoke covered the wounded marisa's body...

In the Smoke, A bright rainbow shined out of the smoke, as marisa could be heard speaking. "That is IT! If you wont accept my love in words...Then accept it through this, ZE!"

The smoke thinned, to reveal a heavily bleeding Marisa, clothes torn to hell, as she was aiming a opened up Mini-hakkero. Oh yeah, You bet it is.

"LOVE SIGN, [M A S T E R     S P A R K!!!!]"

GO|DFO|Ep_1d20+5= 22


Marisa's Master Spark blasted through a good portion of the ground, akin to many-a overcharged DBZ attacks, as she finally got to experience the miracle that WAS her trademark attack. While, not her Final Smash Version (We dont need to destroy the forest, after all), It was certainly quite powerful enough to more than Engulf Kelado, And deal plenty of damage to the mercy-rejecting horse. Marisa sighed, as the hot hakkero was equipped to her belt to cool off afterwards, as she glared into the crater she had made from the hit.

(Master Spark Cool down: 3 turns)

Marisa coughed up a bit more blood, shaking her head. "A-anyone got anything to help?? On my last legs here, Ze..."

Peach was impacted by the scalding water, but it failed to burn her through her thick, flowing dress. Pretty and functional! The princess seemed unconsolable. Between the pain and her vibe powers, Paula was unable to console Peach. The distraught woman ran at Keldeo again, once again trying to trip him with a graceul sweep of her legs.

p_1d20-4 (Peach's Low Kick)

This time however, Peach wasn't playing games. She would abruptly lunge butt first at Keldeo, flying through the air in a familiar way. It was her peach bomber. First would come the initial heavy impact, then the explosion of hearts that immediately followed.

p_1d20+4(Nope, no way he is avoiding getting hearted)

Upon looking deep into Keldeo's mind, the dark aura got stronger. However, there was nothing that could be deciphered in there. Well, unless you count a thousand thoughts assaulting you at once. There was so many thoughts it was impossible to see what any of them were saying... but the ones that could be picked out sounded pretty negative even if you could not quite make them out. Eventually the thoughts became too overflowing and forcefully pushed Paula's mind out... Which would probably cause a severe headache if she did not prepare herself well.

(Paula Roll: Roll a 12 or higher in INT to avoid taking damage due to a headache from the overflow of thoughts)

Keldeo meanwhile did not fully notice Paula prying deep into his mind. He was too busy focusing on the battle as a Master Spark was fired right at home. Unfortnately he did not make much ground in evading it as he let out a yell as he was blasted into the tree. He steadily got back up only to have Peach flying at him not soon after. Keldeo took the blow harshly as Peach bashed her body against him. Despite how physically weak she looked, he felt a huge amount of pain surge through his body followed up by a heart hurting him as well. He slid down the tree as it held firm and the dark aura appeared around him as his mind flashbacked once more.

"You remember now how humans have took everything from you?" The voice said to him to break his silence.

"It's not... They didn't..." Keldeo tried to speak back but found his words getting caught... He was sure he did not really feel how the voice implied.

"They didn't mean to burn your forest? Humans have a compulsion with war. Their war took everything from you. How can you trust those humans when they can do it again?"

"Th-they aren't like that!"

"And how do you know? They could be hiding their true intent. Do you want to lose everything twice?"

"......." Keldeo feel silent again as a dark aura began to consume him.

"Marisa, you look weak. Have some candy to restore your strength," Rosalina said as she waved her wand and summoned 4 pieces of candy for Marisa to restore her strength.

(Each piece of candy restores 5%)

Damage: 1110%(Critical Condition)

Keldeo laid on the ground in a really bruised state until he stood up. "....." Keldeo did not say anything as the dark aura surrounded his body... but now a mixture of gold was starting to mix in with the blackness. "They did beat up Terrakion pretty bad... I never seen him flee... (LOVE +1)... But they could of easily done the same to me... But they chose to be nice instead... maybe it was more Terakkion's fault... (Friendship +1) But then that Marisa girl tried to harm me over the wand... (LOVE +1)... And they did attack Virizion without much thought too... (LOVE +1) But... they chose to forgive me despite my hasty actions... (Friendship +1) and they said really nice sounding things to Cobalion and Terrakion... (Friendship +1) And despite how fiercely I attacked them... They took a long time to attack me... Even if death was the consequence... (Friendship +1)" Keldeo's thoughts quickly surged through his head as the gold aura quickly took over the darkness and Keldeo became a golden golden sheen as his body transformed.

(3 LOVE vs 4 Friendship)

Keldeo's transformation ended and the dark aura completely disappeared. "I am sorry for that... Something provoked dark thoughts in my mind... Though you guys were a bit rough... I knew deep down you were good. Some voice made me act upon the thoughts the swords helped me suppress about humans that caused a fire in my home before they took me in... But you aren't like those humans... And I always knew that... but I had more trouble keeping the dark thoughts suppressed... Thanks for breaking me out of it... I am sorry for causing so much trouble..." Resolution Keldeo apologized.

As Paula delved into Keldeo's mind some more, she soon found out about the darkness that was covering Keldeo's mind about thoughts about humans. "These voices, this must be why he's acting like this, I better tell everyone once I stop this telepathy session." Paula thought to herself as she tried to stop her use of telepathy on Keldeo...However the dark thoughts tried to give her a mega headache and hurt her through her mind. "Uh oh...Must, escape...Dark thoughts!" Paula suddenly said to the group as she tried to evade the mind attack the darkness was trying to give her.

x1iVvO88p_1d20+1(An Intense battle...But she won.)

Paula managed to barely escape the dark thought's In Keldeo's mind and not get hit by the attack the darkness was going to hit her with, she quickly stood near the group after using telepathy to see Keldeo transform. "Huh...What's happening to Keldeo?" She said as Keldeo finished his transformation and seemed to be free from the purple aura that was around him earlier, he thanked the group for helping him, even though they were a bit rough.

"Oh, It's fine Keldeo, I'm sorry about what you had to go through, but It seems you managed to conquer your omens and were proud of that, but what will you be doing now, continuing to be a sword apprentice? I think your doing well so far and will make a great guardian one day." Paula said happily as she thought about something...Mainly the fact that Keldeo actually had to be fought instead of finding a peaceful solution.

"Well...I guess violence really was the answer...This time."

Marisa took the candies without second thought, munching them down and grinning as wide as possible. "Heh, Thanks ze!" She said, giving an approving thumbs up to rosalina for the help, before looking to see Kaledo having a battle with himself. Well, atleast they MOSTLY won out, as Kaledo had started apologizing. Marisa, seeing this, silently walked up to kaledo, arms crossed...

Before suddenly, Wrapping Kaledo into a big, one-armed hug around his neck, laughing happily.

"I knew ya' could do it, Ze!" She said, her smile as wide as possible as she gave her approving, albiet tomboyish hug. "Sure gave me a fight i wont be forgettin' for a bit, But whats life without a few fights?"

Marisa HP: 48%

Master Spark: 3 turns

"Never thought my master spark would actually do anything besides flash fry. Learn somethin' new every day, Ze!"

[Mari]

Peach just sort of faced Keldeo down as he... stopped attacking. She could see he had been hurt and it caused her to hesitate, but once again she wasn't completely ... there. Thankfully, Peach seemed to slowly come to her senses as she recognized what was going on. Her fists unballed and she just sort of covered her mouth with one hand, averting her gaze down into her palm. In all honesty, Keldeo's speech had done... nothing to quell her upset.

Peach excused herself by holding up a finger, as if to ask for a moment, before turning to step away from the others. She might need that moment.

[Coolshaymin]

Keldeo was surprised at Marisa's sudden one armed hug. He gave a faint smile that they were still on his side... Well, half of them seemed to be on his side. Rosalina had fell silent again and he was not sure why. Peach seemed rather down too which gave him a frown. He did not mean to effect her that badly when she walked away.

Rosalina was still not entirely sure about this situation. What exactly took control of Keldeo to begin with was still a mystery. What exactly was the intention of the darkness that overtook Keldeo? Was it trying to prevent her from recovering her lumas for some reason? She could not be entirely sure but she watched Peach walk away. She probably was very shaken by that fight just now. "... Paula, Marisa, stay with Keldeo. I am going to check on Peach," Rosalina instructed before following Peach.

Keldeo decided he would only make things worst at this point. He decided to try and address Paula's question but he was not sure the answer. "I am afraid Keldeo will no longer be a guardian of this forest," the voice of the leader said as Cobalion walked back towards the tree.

Keldeo's eyes widened as his head perked at Cobalion's statement. Did he really mess up that bad that the swords would abandon him? "What?!" Keldeo expressed in shock.

---

Peach and Rosalina

Rosalina decided to follow Peach a bit away from the tree before speaking to her. "Peach, if you need someone to talk to, I am able to listen. I understand you must be in an upset state after that fight. If you don't want to speak, I will go and wait with the others for you," Rosalina offered.

[Deleted]

Paula watched as Keldeo was easily forgiven with the group, with Marisa even hugging him. "Aww." Paula said lovingly towards the two and smiled...Well It went away after she noticed Peach was acting depressed.

Paula turned towards Peach...Who wanted some time alone and watched as she and Perry moved away from the group to have some time alone. "Princess..." Paula said very sadly as Rosalina decided to talk to her, she told Paula, Marisa and Keldeo to stay while she handles things with Peach, Paula nodded and watched as Rosalina floated towards Peach, Paula turned her attention towards Marisa and Keldeo, now happy that the battles were over and they were close to the Luma they were trying to rescue.

"Well, I'm glad everything worked out In the end."

Or so It seemed.

Just then Cobalion appeared, saying that Keldeo would not be a guardian In the forest anymore, causing Paula to gasp, but quickly spoke...Probably thinking that this was because Keldeo was getting promoted...People...Or Pokemon like Cobalion always do this.


"But...It's because he's going to be promoted to something better...Right? I mean, you cant just kick out someone...Or Pokemon like Keldeo after the training he went through."


Damage: 12%

[PolarStarQuote]

Marisa looked at Cobalion after his statements, her jaw hanging open after what he said. "C-come on, Ze! You gotta reconsider! He was only doing what he thought was right! Right??" Marisa asked. She didn't want to see the lil' guy's work go to waste, and was sure as all hell gonna fight for it, as she looked at the stall standing, jacket wearing pokemon.

Marisa kept a hand on kaledo's back, trying to make sure the pony was A-ok.

[Mari]

Peach gently brushed tears from her eyes as Rosalina approached her, a little whine escaping her throat. It would actually be Perry who spoke up on her behalf. "She's coming down from a gloom vibe." he explained ever so helpfully, glancing at Peach. "She can't talk, or she'll cry. She should be okay in a little bit." Perry would then go on to add, smiling brightly at Rosalina. "Usually her vibes don't end until they're ready, unless something powerful changes her mood." Perry then mused aloud. In all honesty, something as small as a hug was liable to snap her out of her stupor at the current time. However, one could just as easily leave her to work the magic out of her system on her own.

[Coolshaymin]

"Yeah, I was..." Keldeo agreed with Marisa reluctantly. He lacked that strength he had to tell Cobalion to back off earlier. The pony was also very doubtful it was anything like Paula suggested. A promotion was the last thing he would expect from Cobalion's stern stare.

"... That would be incorrect. Keldeo is no longer one of the guadians. He will leave the forest," Cobalion agreed. Keldeo kind of just moved back into Marisa a bit more. "And it is exactly what for the reason the witch states."

"H-huh?" Keldeo questioned as he raised his head a bit. That statement seemed really odd. Something was wrong if fighting for what he thinks is wrong.

"Keldeo, me and the swords have raised you since your home was lost. We took you in and raised you and trained you in the way of justice. You have progressed considerably... And I believe your power is even beyond my own. At this point we are holding you back as this isolation is not helping. I said you are no longer a guardian of this forest... However, you are still very much a Sword of Justice. I want you to leave the forest on your own and serve justice while we remain here. Explore new places, gain more friends, do what you think is right in our stead. That is my last order... no, request of you, Keldeo," Cobalion explained as he kneeled down. Keldeo was too stunned to speak at the moment.

---

Rosalina gave a frown as Peach seemed too sad to speak. Fortunately, Perry opted to speak in her stead and explained it was a vibe having an effect on her. So those vibes gave her powerful emotions... But she could not leave her depressed. "... So this vibe is making her sad? It won't do for me to leave her to suffer sadness longer than necessary. Something powerful cancels it out, correct? Like a feeling of the opposite emotion? Then will this work?" Rosalina asked as she approached Peach... before embracing her in a comforting hug that would hopefully make her feel better from the effects of that vibe. "Feeling better now?" Rosalina asked Peach.

[Deleted]

Paula listened as the pocket monsters explained why Keldeo was no longer a guardian In this forest, since he was strong enough to take care of himself, shocking the pocket monster as they suggest that he leaves to go on adventures, discover new places and even find some friends...Like the two girl's that are currently standing behind him right now. "I see now..." Paula said as she looked at Keldeo, who Is now probably the newest member of the Life Sphere.

"I guess your coming back to the Life Sphere with us Keldeo...If that's what you want." Paula said as she turned towards Peach, Rosalina and Perry, who seemed to have already handled there situation, she walked towards the trio to see If there ready to get the Luma and finish the mission.

"Everything okay here, Peach, Rose, Perry? Keldeo might be coming back with us since the guardians let him go since he's strong enough to take care of himself, so let's go get that Luma and finish the mission."

Damage: 12%

[PolarStarQuote]

Marisa, after hearing this, gasped with a fist in the air, jumping up in glee. "Yeah-ha, ze!" She said, patting kaledo with a congratulatory hand on his back, as she smiled. "Thats great, ze!" she said, as she then looked at the res of the group. Paula seemed roughly the same as Marisa, and Peach and rosalina were calming down in a hug...Pfft. Marisa wouldn't be caught dead doing that..Tomboy Tomboy Tomboy.

"Thanks for the help, Now, Lets go get the Luma!" She said, as she pointed a thumb deeper in, looking for the rest of the group to join.

[Mari]

Suddenly there was a hug. Peach hadn't asked for it, but she had received it. Peach was a little surprised, mostly because she certainly didn't look her best while she was crying. Yet, there was Rosalina to comfort her. The gesture violently derailed Peach's emotions, interrupting her vibe and snapping her back into reality. A little gasp escaped her as she realized what was going on. The princess would return Rosalina's hug, giving her a gentle yet firm squeeze in response to the affection. "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, Rosalina. That's exactly what I needed~" Peach would reply, emitting a sigh of relief. She seemed to have not only calmed down, but was now back to her cheerful self. A series of little magical hearts began to rise from her head.

Peach would pick Rosalina up and spin her about, a gesture that she made look much easier than it actually was. Upon setting her down, Peach let go of her completely. "In fact..." Peach began, holding up a finger.

She then moved over to Paula, acknowledging the other calling out to her. "We're doing fine~" Perry replied. "Feeling much better>" Peach would reply in turn, moving over and giving Paula a hug. She was full of love right now and needed a place to express that love.

After she gave Paula a nice hug, Peach would move onto Marisa. She would just kind of move in and embrace Marisa from behind as she tried to lead the charge, little magical hearts still floating up from her head. Her arms wrapped just below Marisa's chest and her head burried itself partially in the other's hair. "Thank you for helping us, Marisa~" Peach said in a rather quiet tone. Feel the girliness Marisa. FEEL IT.

Sensing that the appropriate ammount of time to hug a person had come to an end, Peach would release Marisa and turn, turning and hip bumping the other in a harmless manner. I mean it might not look harmless because things that touch Peach's hips tend to explode, but there was no explosion this time. "Maybe you could join the Magical Girl's Society sometime~" Peach offered in a light-hearted tone.

...And then... came Keldeo. Peach seemed hesitant to hug him when she got to him. In no way had the terms of their battle been pleasant. In no way did his apology make up for what he'd done. However... Peach supposed she couldn't stay mad at a child forever, no matter how badly they'd messed up. Assuming Keldeo's body language wasn't clearly telling her he didn't want a hug, he'd get one too.

[Coolshaymin]

"That is good," Rosalina replied to Peach with a nod. She took the embrace for a moment before they had to check on the others. "Everything is better now, Paula," Rosalina reassured Paula along with Peach. Marisa seemed bothered by the hug she gave Peach a moment ago. It would seem Peach was already in on spreading the love.

Keldeo remained silent as he looked down. He was not sure if he really deserved what Cobalion was offering... Peach still seemed bothered by his actions... And though he was not in complete control... He could not help but feel it was still all his fault. He brightened up a little as Peach hugged him. Though it seemed she would not forgive him, she was still willing to give him a hug.

"Actually... I will head to the Life Sphere on my own... Peach, I know it probably does not mean much now... But I want you to have this," Keldeo said as he pulled out a blue gem that sparkled like flowing water. "Just hold that gem tight and my spirit will come to help. I'll be going now," Keldeo said as he handed the gems over to Peach with his mouth before turning to go on his own. He still seemed to feel bad. Maybe he can be stopped for a moment.

Mystery Reward- Aqua Keldeo Gem- This gem has the power to summon the spirit of Keldeo to strike foes. The golden glowing Keldeo will erupt from the gem and perform a Secret Sword on the foe of choice. This attack functions as an A Rank Wisdom Pokemon like normal except Keldeo has an added effect. The Sword will ignore any defensive buff outside invincibility and remove that buff. Reusable but can only be used once per mission.

"You will get your luma... However, I ask you wait here a moment longer. Virizion and Xerneas will be coming in a moment with him," Cobalion stated.
