Bring Back My Light (SPM Pokéhuman AU!!!)

Miss Me? (3)

All Mr.L could see was black, but it seemed to be a different kind of black. Mr.L couldn't tell how he knew the difference, he just did. But the main indication that he was no longer trapped in stasis: Mr.L no longer felt that burning sensation that had torn at him from the inside. It was almost unnatural to feel almost no more pain.

He had felt nothing but fiery pain for so long that he actually lost feeling in his body, his arms, tail, and legs all numb at the moment.

Mr.L rubbed his eyes, too weak to get up from the position he was lying in. He brought his hand down to his side and blinked, his eyes adjusting to the new light source.

Light.

Mr.L gasped as he sat up, glancing around. He was now inside of Castle Bleck's Inner Sanctum.

"What?! How?! But... I'm alive!!!" Mr.L exclaimed, "And I'm back at Castle Bleck? How did-"

Mr.L paused and looked down at his boots. Scattered all around him on the ground were different colored fragments of gems and crystals, some Z-Crystals, others evolution stones. Mr.L leaned forward and picked up a drained-looking Thunderstone, his eyes going wide.

"A Thunderstone!" Mr.L said, "I must have touched it when I was out!"

Mr.L set it back down and looked more around, just realizing that everything looked destroyed since he was there last.

"Did someone use Hurricane in here? Yeesh. And where did all these stones even come from?" Mr.L questioned.

Mr.L paused for a moment, remembering how he had told his friend that he would find a way to get him out as well. But to do that he needed to find their 'light'.

"Alright." Mr.L sighed, "But first I need to get some feeling in my arms and legs."

Mr.L took a deep breath and then let out a shout as he thrashed, propping himself on his side. As soon as he did, feeling began to return to his arms in legs, however, he didn't like the new position he was in as his blood ran cold.

He was now on his side and staring into the face of Dimentio, who was out cold and on his side, facing Mr.L.

Mr.L had to flick his tail into his face and bite into it to prevent himself from screaming. He didn't know how he got there in the first place, but Dimentio being in the same place as well had to be bad luck.

Mr.L looked down at his hand to see it grabbing ahold of something. It appeared to be a large multicolored crystal. Dimentio was also holding onto it.

"Crap- How can I get out of here without waking him up?!" Mr.L exclaimed.

Mr.L remained silent as he looked down at his hand, sweating nervously as he willed his hand to move. He slowly pulled his hand away, still gripping onto the gem, unable to let go with Dimentio's hand on top of his. As quickly as he could, Mr.L jerked his hand back, taking the crystal with him.

Mr.L let out a sigh of relief but his fears were quickly recognized as Dimentio gasped. Mr.L remained frozen in fear and shock as Dimentio quickly looked himself over as if shocked to be awake. Then, just as Mr.L didn't think it could get worse, Dimentio turned his head to look at him.

"You!" Dimentio spat.

Mr.L yelped in surprise and quickly scrambled to his feet, Dimentio doing the same. The two of them stood up and turned to face each other, both of them ready to attack the other if needed.

"What are YOU doing here?! You're apparently very hard to kill, like an infestation of Bug-types!" Dimentio exclaimed.

"How would I know?! I thought that I was dead only a few seconds ago!" Mr.L retorted.

Dimentio's expression went blank as he stared at Mr.L. Mr.L arched an eyebrow in confusion and followed his gaze only to pale, seeing him eyeing the crystal in his hand. Mr.L looked back up to see Dimentio glaring at him.

"You! You tried to take my power!" Dimentio spat, turning red with rage, "Bold to assume that I shall let you get away with it alive!"

Dimentio snapped his fingers and sent a Shadow Ball after Mr.L. Mr.L dodged to the side. He ground to a halt and used Low Kick, lunging at Dimentio. He hit Dimentio head-on, however, Fighting-type attacks had no effect on Ghost-types.

Dimentio's yellow eye flashed menacingly and he used Shadow Claw to grab ahold of the crystal in Mr.L's hand. Mr.L grunted as he tugged against his ghostly arm, the two of them now engaged in a tug-of-war.

"Give it to me!!!" Dimentio commanded.

"Like heck I will!" Mr.L spat, trying to jerk it away, "If you want it, nothing good can come from it!"

The Shadow Claw disappeared and Dimentio lunged forward to take its place. He grunted as he tried digging his heels into the ground, desperately trying to wrench it out of Mr.L's grip.

Mr.L glared at Dimentio. He wrenched the crystal to himself and lept backward, spinning around to hit Dimentio with an Iron Tail. The Iron Tail landed directly into the side of Dimentio's head, earning an unnatural snapping sound from the super-effective attack.

Mr.L took a step back and growled as Dimentio stumbled around for a moment, his head seeming to go limp. Dimentio grabbed the sides of his hood-covered head and snapped it back upright, a scowl on his face. Mr.L winced at the sound, which seemed painful to say the least, and also definitely not how a neck was supposed to work.

Dimentio screamed and lunged forward, grabbing ahold of the crystal in Mr.L's hands with both of his own hands along with two Shadow Claws. The two of them grit their teeth, neither of them willing to let go and give out.

"Back off!" Mr.L spat, trying to wrench it back.

"NO! I REFUSE TO LET SOMEONE LIKE YOU TAKE MY LIGHT FROM ME!!!" Dimentio yelled.

Mr.L went wide-eyed and froze staring at him.

"Your LIGHT?" Mr.L exclaimed, "WOAH-!"

Mr.L faltered for only a moment and that's all it took. Dimentio pulled the crystal to himself and both of them became engulfed in a blinding light.

The light died down and standing in the place of the two of them was now one Super Dimentio. All of the stones and crystals that were on the ground were now on Super Dimentio as a part of its body. Super Dimentio let out a content sigh as it clenched and unclenched all four of its hands, its tail flicking from side to side.

"Finally... Ah ha ha ha ha... It's MINE..." Super Dimentio laughed.

Mr.L panicked, and so did Super Dimentio, their emotions linked. Dimentio wouldn't have it, his rage overpowering Mr.L's as he quickly regained control over their Dragon-type form.

"Give it up! I won't let you all take my light from me ever again!" Dimentio hissed, "You and the rest of them! You... You TRAITORS!!!"

Mr.L didn't say anything for a moment as Super Dimentio remained still, waiting for either Mr.L or Dimentio to seize control over it.

"D... Dimentio..." Mr.L started.

"WHAT?" Super Dimentio snapped, Dimentio's rage powerful enough to seize control over the beast.

"...I guess using Wish was able to snap both of us out of stasis. And you got your light back too, huh?" Mr.L said.

"H-huh?" Super Dimentio questioned out loud.

"You..." Dimentio trailed off, his voice going from firm to frightened in moments, "You're..."

In almost a blink of an eye, Super Dimentio flashed a bright and blinding light and then dispersed, separating back into the two separate Pokémon.
