Chapter 28 Ribbon “What are you two doing here?” Ruby barked at her children as she crawled back into the bush Ribbon and her brother were hiding in. Fenzura had come out looking for the snowpix after she had snuck off. He looked so worried for her and was able to sense that she was having some internal conflict. Ribbon and Fenzura spoke about Ruby, Dynamo and most importantly of all…Windy. Fenzura told Ribbon that Ruby hadn’t returned home yet and Ribbon had sensed her mother’s power shortly after she left the clearing where she lost to Dynamo. “Saving you.” Fenzura responded. “We noticed you was taking forever to return, so we came looking for you.” Ribbon stepped in before Fenzura could say anymore. He could be a little hot headed sometimes, and Ruby was always a hot head. “Looks like we made the right decision, hmm Mom.” SMACK, SMACK! “Ouch!” Fenzura cried “What was that for!” Ribbon said after getting smacked across the head. “I told you two that I was going to smack you when I got over here. What if something happened to you two, hmm? Be smart with me again and next time it’s harder and in a less hard spot!” Ribbon could sense her mother’s fury, but masked behind it was worry, their mother was worried that something bad could have happened to them and they would get hurt. Sighing the snowpix kissed her mother’s cheek. “Sorry Mom, we didn’t do this to make you made or to worry you, we just want to take care of you.” Ribbon meant those words. “Ya…even if you are bitch some- “ SMACK “What did I do?” Fenzura cried, tears were in his eyes. “Language, you do not say something like that to anyone, even if it is true.” Ruby huffed. The older Vulpix turned around, the sounds of explosions told of how intense of a battle was underway. Ribbon was reminded of her own fight against Dynamo, how easily the pony dodged her attacks, how strong he was…he was no ordinary opponent, he was the real deal, he was what a General was supposed to be. “We have to help her out.” Fenzura said, the young fox stared out at the clearing intensely. “Maybe if one of us was- “ “He’s no push over.” Ruby looked at the pups. “That is one of the most powerful opponents I have ever fought, he is stronger, faster, smarter than any other Pokemon I have ever met…that is not named Radiance or myself. No…I can picture Karis being this strong too…granted I haven’t seen him in a long time.” ‘Karis…’ “I can’t just sit here and- “Ruby cut Fenzura off once again. “Do you two know how to heal others?” “Medic duty…?” Ribbon could hear the disappointment in her brother’s voice, she had to admit, she would rather be on the front line helping rather than patching up their mother. “We have to do it Fenzura.” Ribbon’s eyes turned from blue to purple. “But don’t waste all of your energy, we have a fight to win.” The Vulpix’s paws glowed icy blue with hints of purple in it. “I don’t want you two fighting.” “We can take care of ourselves Mom.” Ribbon puts a paw on Ruby’s body, the feeling of her energy being pushed into the older Vulpix made the young snowpix feel relaxed. Ribbon’s mind and soul was in sync with itself once more, her talk with Fenzura oddly had relaxed her long enough to fix herself. “Besides I fought Dynamo earlier and I want a run back.” “What!?” “Ya and anyone who hurts my mother and sister is going to get it from me.” Fenzura puts a glowing red and pink paw on Ruby’s other side. “I just hope Radiance can hold off Dynamo long enough…” Radiance Sheets of snow blew in Radiance’s face as she dodged Dynamo’s incoming attacks, the colt was much faster than she first expected him to be. All her calculations had been off, off, he was so much stronger than she ever expected. Nothing could have prepared her for this kind of experience, and power increase since the last they met. “You’re going to tire out soon Radiance, best to give up now.” Dynamo used Aqua Jet to get in close to the Eevee before throwing a Double Kick at her, the Eevee was able to dodge the first attack but got hit by the second sending her flying into a tree. The impact was enough to knock most Pokemon out, but Radiance just hung onto consequence. “I overheard what sort of training you underwent, and for that…I’m proud of you.” Radiance slowly got back onto her paws, the Eevee panted. “I don’t care if your proud of me, you want to make me your pet…whatever sort of sick and twisted ideas you might have…not interested. Besides how could you possibly keep a pet around that clearly is stronger than you, hmmm…you don’t. You failed Radiance, give it up, your nowhere near as strong as you once were, and I fail to see that you ever will be again.” Dynamo points towards the exit. “You know…I haven’t even shown you how strong my Resolute Form is…. that is so sad…” “Oh Dynamo, just because it might be longer doesn’t mean it’s better.” “Is that supposed to be a dick joke? Jokes on you Radiance…mine is bigger and I bet…if I could stomach fucking your wife…I bet I could make her forget your name.” ‘What the fuck did he just say…’ Radiance’s growled, the Eevee bared her fangs, while the pebbles under her paws shook. ‘I’m going to kill this colt…no this stupid pony! I’m going to kill him…mock me, mock my magic, mock my power…. that is FINE! But talk about touching my wife…YOUR DEAD!’ “Oh…did I…did I hit a soft spot?” Dynamo joked. “Truth hurts Radi-“Dynamo was sent flying back several feet by a Moonblast to the face. Radiance eyes glowed pink while the diamonds on her necklace glowed a bright pink color, the Eevee had released the seal suppressing her Diancie powers. “What the fuck- “ “Dynamo…pony boy…you really…really…should learn to stop talking.” Radiance slowly starts walking towards the now piss scared pony. “Talk about me all you want, but when you insult my family…my friends…. but most importantly…my WIFE. I will find a way to fuck what little life…self-respect that you have left out of you.” “Radiance…girl…there is no need to you know…get violent.” It was sad hearing what has been the toughest opponent she has fought in a long-time sound so…pathetic. At least live up to the bold statements, if you’re going to insult and taunt someone then follow up. “Stronger or not you’re still the same Dynamo.” Radiance used Diamond Storm to stop Dynamo from being able to escape, the large spike diamonds buried themselves into the ground behind the retreating pony. “Radiance…Radiance…your better than this.” Oh, this was just getting sad…he really seemed to have lost his confidence after getting hit in the face with the weak Moonblast. And here she was hoping to continue this little sparring match… “Where is that confidence now? Is it buried in the snow?” Radiance stopped walking, the Eevee had a sinister smirk on her face. “Least when Kitsune spills his confidence its cute, you…it’s just pathetic. That was a weak Moonblast, if I wanted to knock you out I would have done it long before this.” “Bullshit!” Dynamo got back onto his hooves, the pony…oh “colt” was ready to fight again. “Go down fighting, when I finish you off I’ll happily change your little tramp stamp to something more…rewarding. Maybe something to reflect how…brave you are, and who now owns you.” “It’s not a tramp stamp, it’s the symbol of my pride, a tribute to those who trained me and made me into the strong colt I am today.” “How many times a day did Cobalion, whisper into your ear how good of a fuck you are? He looks like the type that would –“Radiance puts a paw to stop Dynamo’s Close Combat, the colt was furiously trying to break through her defenses as he threw everything he had at her. “You have no honor!” Dynamo finally was able to get one over Radiance as he threw out a surprise Aqua Jet in the middle of his attack knocking Radiance back into a large snow dune. The Eevee used Quick Attack to escape the dune as the furious bronco wildly charged about trying to end her. “He still has a lot of energy, even now. They really did train him well.” Radiance walked around the outside of the clearing, she had a few moments to rest as Dynamo wasn’t paying attention to movements. The Eevee’s ears twitched as she neared the spot where she felt her mate’s presence. “Ruby is recovering…” Radiance felt that she could win this fight without her wife getting involved, though it could be by the skin of her teeth…That Moonblast…it wasn’t weak because she held back, it was weak because she was having trouble tapping into her true Diancia powers… “50 or more years of not using my main Diancia powers…guess you can get a little rusty.” Radiance didn’t like to admit it, but she was nervous, this fight…they could lose this fight. Ribbon Ribbon followed her mother out of the snow dune, the older Vulpix seemed semi-recovered but there was no mistake…she was still in a lot of pain and should honestly be running away, not facing this pony head on. You would think Ribbon would find her mother’s action honorable but no…this was stupid, why fight a battle you weren’t fit for. Stupidity wasn’t bravery, no matter how “noble” it might look. Being dead or badly hurt might look good for stories, but in reality…dead is dead. “You should run.” Ribbon said as she walked out with her mother. Fenzura was staying behind the bushes, the smaller Vulpix was too young to get into a fight like this. Even Ribbon knew she shouldn’t be in this…she still was sore from her last encounter with Dynamo. “Radiance is out there…I won’t leave her.” The wind blew into Ribbon’s mother’s face, the older Vulpix looked so…inspiring. “She is the love of my life, my mate and…I couldn’t live with myself letting her fight this alone.” Smiles. “Plus, I have you and your brother to worry about, there is no telling if Dynamo would chase us down.” “He’s a bad Pokemon mom.” Ribbon bitterly spoke. “No…I do not believe so, he never was long ago when he was a General and served with me. Nor is he now, cocky yes, but not evil. He’s scared, and…a little hyper right now since he is pushing back against the Pokemon who he has feared for so long. If he was a bad Pokemon he would have killed, you a short while ago.” “You…you think so?” “Yes. If he wanted to stick it to me he would have killed or at least hurt you, but instead he simply…let you go.” Ruby took a deep breath and Ribbon gulped, the snowpix wanted to at least be outside with her mother. The Vulpix tries to picture herself like how she was before…a hybrid of her past and present self, the long tails, fur, beautiful blue and white body…. oh, she was so sexy. Wait…no, no…now is not the time for that… “You told me about that form right, that…burst form or transformation.” Ruby walked over to Radiance who was nearby, the Eevee looked in bad shape. They were slowly becoming too tired to keep fighting, their will to fight was there but…the body can only do so much. “Burst form?” Radiance sounded surprised as the Vulpix foxes approached her. “That is interesting to hear, I haven’t heard that in a long time. I didn’t even know if Pokemon could still do that since it has been so long.” “You think now is a time to let your curiosity wonder?” Ruby…Mother spoke. “Ruby my love, there is never a bad time to be curious about something. Ribbon, I would love to see this…burst form you have.” Radiance looked into Ribbon’s eyes… “It’s like she’s staring into my soul…” “I know right…” “Your magical energy is spent but…I think we can still have you pull off the transformation.” Radiance puts a paw on Ribbon’s head. “Yes…you just need a little bit of encouragement.” “What about Dynamo? I mean, he’s still here.” Ribbon noticed the pony calm now, he was tapping the diamonds on the other end of the clearing, he most likely was trying to see if he could break them. “Those won’t hold him forever, they are breakable.” Radiance announced, the Eevee knew already what had Ribbon’s attention. “I wouldn’t be worried about my diamonds breaking normally but…I’m out of practice.” Light chuckle. Ribbon felt her head become light, an odd surge of energy seemed to be released within her… “What…what’s happening!” Ribbon asked out loud. Radiance stepped away letting the transformation process happen as the Vulpix felt the energy that that built up inside of her become released in a single moment… Ribbon’s tails become long and ribbon like, the size icy tails gave off an odd aura like her Ribbon’s soul, her fur became blue like Suicune’s, save for the diamond patterns in it. Ribbon’s head fur grew long like the water dog’s, with beautiful purple highlights at the end of it. Finally, the vulpix’s paws had turned blue-green, perfect for walking on water with. Yes she was Suipix…hmm that was a wonderful name for her beautiful form. “Amazing…simply amazing.” Ruby gasped, the Vulpix walked around her daughter studying the Saipix’s form. “Yes, I would love to research our daughter’s transformation at a better time.” Radiance smiled. “We can win now!” Ribbon cheered. “No.” Radiance sighed. “No?” Ribbon was confused. “It’s not that easy sweetie.” Ruby past the other foxes. “It takes more than power to win fights like this. You should know that first paw from your previous fight.” Ribbon watched her mother walk forward. “I would rather you not fight Ribbon but…maybe we have a chance to win if the three of us can fight together.” Ribbon wanted to believe her mother but…that look on her face, that look of worry was real but…it was when her mother smiled did Ribbon feel at little at ease. “Hope is a powerful thing.” Radiance sighed and kissed her mother. “Gross…don’t need to see that.” “Oh hush.” Ruby sticks tongue out happily. “And go kiss your herm Eevee.” “Well at least someone is warming up to being herself.” Ribbon felt herself filled with determination, ya they could do this. Besides she really needed to go home and see Amber. Ribbon noticed Dynamo had stopped trying to break free his “cage” the Keldeo was smiling from ear to ear. Now why was he looking so…peepy? “Wow Ribbon…you used your burst form again, impressive.” Dynamo bows his head as the girls approach him. “Why’s that?” “Pokemon usually only can transform about…once a day or at least once every few hours depending on what that transformation is. I myself can transform into my Resolute Form about once every few hours, depending on how conditioned I am. Magical transformations like what you performed can only be done about every 12 hours…sometimes only once a day, depends on conditioning and other factors. The fact that you are standing before me right now…only after less than an hour…maybe an hour tops in your Burst form again…simply impressive.” Dynamo looks at Radiance. “You do amazing work since there is no way that Ribbon had the energy to use her form again. Your magical tank…why it must be nearly empty by now.” “And somehow your physical stamina…its unnaturally high.” “Years of training.” “I’m pretty sure years of taking it up the ass from Terrakion would do that.” Ruby snickered. “I mean…I’m sure he’s pretty thick.” “Fuck you!” Dynamo growls. “You don’t know anything of the brotherhood myself and my companions share.” “Pretty sure it involves you taking a lot of dicks.” Ruby laughs. “That’s IT, I’m taking you out!” “Really, at least ask nicely.” Ribbon wasn’t sure what her mother was getting at but…ya if she wanted Dynamo’s attention- “AAAHHHH.” Aqua Jet to the face. “Mom!” “Alright this is it.” Radiance summoned several needles around them. “Your mom knows what she’s doing, just keep your head straight and maybe…just maybe we have a chance.” “Right!” Regardless of how confident Ribbon might feel…or not feel, that was beside the point. Survival will require all three girls working together and hopefully Keldeo making some sort of mistake. Just one mistake…or lack there for…that will be the difference. Please let it just be his mistake and not the other way around…
