[Song: O Fortuna]

I feel tears leave my eyes and I yell in anguish. Charon laughs at me as I glare at him. I stand up and punch at him. He doesn't even flinch when I hit him. I keep punching him. "When will you ever learn?"

He punches me, throwing me back towards Barry. He helps me up. I yell and run at him. I form an Aura Sphere in my hand and throw it at him, point blank. He doesn't even move. "I'll kill you!" I shout.

"When will you learn that I'm better than you in every single way?!"

He grabs my shirt with his left hand and punches me in the face with his right. I fall on my back, holding my face. My nose is broken and bleeding like hell. He walks over to me and puts his foot on my chest. He presses down. Riley runs over and punches Charon. He elbows Riley, knocking him back into a rock. I growl. "You killed her!"

"She was just in the way. For both me and you."

I yell and grab his leg. He stomps down on me. I yell in pain. "She was weak and had absolutely no value to anyone!"

I scream and punch him frantically. He kicks me, rolling me towards the edge to the island. "Now, go join her in that pit of uselessness."

I growl and stand up. I turn back to him. "She's not worthless. Not to me. She was everything to me!"

I run at him, but he punches me in the gut. "Ah, young love. The true evil of the world. She probably didn't even know anything about you. You were both just foolish children pretending to be adults!"

I feel my eye start twitching. I feel something snap within me. I feel a surplus of Aura unleash within me. I yell as my Aura grows in power. "It appears I've struck a nerve," he says grinning.

I turn to him. He gasps. "Those eyes..."

I feel a mix of blood and tears dripping down my face. Charon backs up. "What are you?..." he asks, shaking in pure terror.

I growl and jump at him. He gasps and hardens his skin. I punch. He grunts in pain and flies back, rolling into a rock. His arms are bleeding where I hit him. "I-impossible!" he shouts.

I grin. "Seems you aren't as powerful as you thought."

"You just got a lucky hit in!"

He runs at me, going for a punch. I punch him in the stomach. He gasps and freezes. I feel his blood on my fist. He coughs up blood and spit. I pull my arm back and he drops to his knees, cowering. I grin sadistically. "Can you feel it? My... animosity?"

I kick him in the face, knocking him back even more. He grunts as he stands up. Charon pants, trying to cope with the pain. I grab him with my left hand. "You think you can control the world as you see fit! That was your first mistake!"

Charon grits his teeth. I knee him in the groin. He gasps in pain. "Die!"

I bring my right hand back, charging a blast of Aura. I thrust my arm into his face. The blast of Aura tears his skin open. His screams echo throughout the Distortion World. It isn't until nothing remains of his body that his screams fade away. I drop to my knees and pant, calming down. My Aura settles as I relax. I stand back up and start walking back to the group. Eve runs over to me, smiling. She knocks me to the ground and start nuzzling me. "Did you do it?"

I nod. "I did it. It's over."

[Song End]

I get a chill. I frown. "I killed him... without hesitation."

I push Eve off of me and scoot to the edge of the island. I stare off into the crimson of the Distortion World. I feel tears on my cheek. I wipe my face with my hand. I look at it. My hand is wet with a mix of blood and tears. I look down and my heart almost stops. Giratina is flying straight at me. I scream and run back. Barry is starting to giggle, but Giratina rising above us shuts him up. Dialga and Palkia rush in front of us, protecting us. Giratina roars and growls. I look at him. I gasp. The device on his head is rusted and corroded. "Roar of Time... it destroyed the device."
