Pokemon: Age of War, Book 1. Claws In The Dark

The Visionary.

"The boy.. he is still unaware of the war that is soon to overshadow this so called Cold War" a voice whispered out from the darkness. "Master Darkrai.. what are we to do? If the boy is to progress, then we must move things along.. our Komrads in the USSR are not unearthing Kyogre fast enough.. if the Allied powers gain Groudon...."

"They would not be able to control either of them.. not Groudon.. nor Kyogre." said a bright blue ominous eye from within the darkness. "Groudon answers only to those whom have earned his respect.. and Kyogre only desires to watch over his charges in the sea.. and to expand the ocean for his own ends.. these two gods will not obey man."

"Zekrom has been searching through our ranks.. he has been ruining much of our plans master Darkrai.. he suspects we intend to use it... the Primal Evolution.. to throw this world into the chaos. .the darkness you desire.. master Darkrai.."

Darkrai's voice chuckled. "What an utter fool.. the great hero Zekrom.. let him search, let him claw desperately for hope... the one whose lightning are the pillars that hold up the sky they say.. but even the great black dragon shall kneel at my presence when I am ruler.. of this world.. have the other Generals gathered?"

"All awaiting your command.. and Ghetsis has found his way to the great Palace of the Sea.. kehkehkehkehkeh.. all things are turning out as you planned Lord Darkrai.. master of darkness.. bringer of the apocalypse.. great-"

"Enough." said Darkrai. "You can spare me the usual compliments...I just want this done.. I've waited within the Black Realm long enough. The world of no light.. all there is are the dead withered trees and the barren ground.. and the pitch blackness that no moon or sun could light... it has gotten quite boring.. I will be making myself to the other realm soon..the realm of light.."

"But you hate the light master.. please.. allow me to go in your stead.. me and my companion are both students already.. less suspicion.. far less suspicion.. Kehkehkehkehkeh..."

"Fine.. but if you fail me.. I shall bring upon you a nightmare unlike any other... let your dark claws scrape on the mortal flesh of man.. let them squeal... For I.. the Dark One.. am coming to reign supreme!!"

"Master.. we've found it.."

A massive dark dragon with three vicious heads, drooling fangs, and six black tendril-like wings hovered through the mist, across the barren land to a tent surrounded by teams of archaeologists.. chipping away at what appeared to be fossilized sea shells.. and other remains of what was apparently once a vast ocean.

A man standing at the entrance of the tent.. and elderly man with a dark coat and cloak, light green hair and a strange eyepatch greeted the three headed dragon. "Hydreigon.. are you sure..? "

"Yes.." said Hydreigon's middle head, the largest and most vici\ous looking one. "Quite so.. the gaurdians though.. they are not letting us through.. they are quite.. uncooperative..I wanted to see what your orders were.. perhaps I can kill them like the rest?"

"No.. I know you're hungry Hydreigon.." said the man with a devious smile. "But your lust for the drinking of blood will have to wait.. bring me to the gaurdians..our Komrads are all impatient.."

The man followed Hydreigon through the mist.. till they came to a massive wall that looked so high.. it must have reached all the way into the clouds..

"Hmph.. those American fools would never think to look in the most desolate place of the Earth to find true life that sleeps within.." said the man with a chuckle.

"It is here..." said Hydreigon, his three mouths licking their lips in anticipation. "They are the gaurdians..

Before the great wall stood three pillars. On top of each pillar stood three golem-like creatures that seemed to be made of solid matter... one had a sphereical body made of metal.. another had a crystal like body made of ice.. and another had a massive bulky body made of roughly hewn rock.. all of them had no faces.. merely glowing dots that resembled some sort of braile..
