Nextgen Kids: Legend of the Nine Newborn

A Tale of Ice and Fire, Part 12: A Silver Flame of Justice

OH MY GOD, Sarstar made me notice something: Romeo just gained the power to see people's karma, and in the Third Gen, his daughter is partnered with Karma Shiota! And THAT is the real plot twist of this story people! XD

Chapter 12: A Silver Flame of Justice

"(Romeo... that's the one who cursed the Sacred Flames before!)" Victini explained. "(That's the ice demon!)"

"You call that an ice demon?!" Phil questioned. "It looks like some kind of snowflake birth defect, if anything!"

"And I really hope that's supposed to be a tail on the bottom!" Kiki cringed in disgust.

"This is Majora's child, Verglora." Miyuki clarified.

"And it's the Newborn you were made the Guardian of..." Romeo put together.

"What're these Sacred Flames you just mentioned?"

"It's something I did a long time ago." Verglora hissed. "It was a little while after I was created, in fact. I flew around and spread cold darkness under my father's instruction, but that wretched Sun God, Solaris kept trying to foil me! His warmth was too strong. Then, my father learned of the Sacred Flames that Solaris granted to his worshippers. Flames that were meant to ensure good fortune to the firebenders, in exchange for their undying honor. I thought if I could destroy those flames, then Solaris's power would shrink. And I was able to curse them to where not even HE could reignite them! But that's when I ran across this big-earred weirdo and his attractive turtle companion~"

"Attractive?" Romeo cringed.

"He looked like a damn fine monster, that Natsu! I asked if he wanted to join me, but this idiot here didn't seem to like me. He got a bad feeling from me, and I wasn't too fond of that bright Fire Chi in his veins. Unfortunately, he manipulated Natsu into staying on his side."

"(I didn't manipulate anyone! Natsu trusted my instinct. He knew you were a dangerous monster, and you were. Especially after you gave him that Red Eye Curse! You even cursed his entire family!)"

"Now, hold on, I only had time to curse him! I don't know what could've happened to his family, hehe. But because of this jackass, I was left in a total daze. Then I was taken by a grinning man and turned into a mask. Eventually, my father freed me and we decided to set our Termina plan into motion."

"You didn't feel like trying to curse the flames again?" Miyuki asked.

"Who am I, Ganondorf? I need to mix my evil plans up some!"

"And by the way, I haven't become their Guardian, yet. The Spirit Ball resisted Verglora."

"Honestly, that doesn't surprise me." Romeo said. "We heard you've been attacking operatives."

"Yeah! You said we would teach them to be nicer, but we didn't!" Suki shouted.

"Then I guess I lied. What did you expect, Suki? I didn't even have the heart to teach them good. Verglora had no desire to change and I didn't foresee it happening. Some people thrive on darkness and misery for the sake of it, so my only way to bond with Verglora was to embrace that as well. Because deep down, I'm sick of everything."

"What's wrong with you, Miyuki?!" Wendy yelled in hurt. "You know, four years ago, you helped me learn the truth about my mom. It was thanks to you she remembered who she was. I know I didn't know you well personally, but I thought you were a great person for doing that! Did that not matter? Do you not enjoy helping people, anymore?"

"It's not that I don't. And if not for Verglora, I would never have considered doing what I did. But it's only because I was given this destiny, and this chance, that I decided to vent my frustrations."
