Looking for Balance Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Marcia's Castle

White sat against the wall of the room they had thrown her into with her bag after taking Samurott and Reshiram's pokeballs from her.  She looked around the dusty old playroom of N's that she had seen for the first time in 5 years.  She looked down at the Adamant Orb she got out from her bag glad they hadn't known what it was.  She wondered if this was what Arceus had meant by something was going to happen that would prevent balance completely.

She glanced over at the clear stone that had once contained Reshiram picking it up closing my eyes a voice filling my head, 'Mistress you know, I will always be there when you need me.'

"Reshiram?" White asked into the empty room in surprise.

The voice responded, 'Yes of course Mistress, we have a connection no matter if I am in this pokeball or not.  If your in danger I will protect you.'

"I'm glad Reshiram.... but you know as well as I do what Arceus said about only N and I stood chance against Kyurem together," White said sadly looking down hugging her legs close, "I may never see N again though."

'Well I actually feel my brother and Hero of Ideal coming this way, Zekrom is running on pure rage right now,' Reshiram responded into her mind, 'I'm surprised you would think they wouldn't come Mistress.... the Hero loves you after all.'

White smiled nodding about to respond when the door swung open a member of the Shadow Triad there.  They came over grabbing White by the arm pulling her up saying, "Lady Marcia wishes to see you."

White rolled her eyes pulling from the Shadow Triad's grip saying, "I can walk by myself thank you."

She reached down grabbing the orb and the stone placing them in her pocket putting her bag on her back.  The Shadow Triad member waited for her before leading the way up to the throne room.  She looked up seeing Marcia sitting in the same throne N had been sitting in when she first came to this castle 5 years before.  She was tossing Reshiram's pokeball up and down teasing White with it a smirk on her face.

"You know your more hassle then your worth, Hero," Marcia said placing the pokeball on the table beside her before getting up walking toward White, "Reports of my little brother and Zekrom coming this way are flooding in non-stop.  I never expected he would actually care enough about someone else to try to come save you when he couldn't even protect himself against our father."

White looked around the room quickly noticing Cheren tied up against the wall passed out cold bruises all over his face and his cloths ratty.  She went wide eyes before looking back at Marcia saying, "Of course he is coming and we will defeat you."

Marcia smirked snapping a gray pokeball from her waist throwing it behind her Kyurem appearing behind her.  White saw the dragon fear appearing in her eyes but noticed the pokeball Marcia had been tossing up and down roll off the table a bright light as Reshiram came out of it's ball appearing in front of White growling at Kyurem.

"Fascinating, I didn't know the bond between the heroes and the dragons were so strong this should be interesting," Marcia stated simply before pointing out with her slender hand, "Kyurem, Glaciate."

White shivered as the cold wind filled the room.  Reshiram's tail glowed as she waited for White's order.  White closed her eyes knowing she just needed to waist time until N and Zekrom could get there.

"Reshiram, Fusion Flare," White called out flashing back to the battle 5 years ago against N and Zekrom.  She was more ready now then she was then but Kyurem was on a different level then Reshiram and Zekrom so it with stood Reshiram's fire with ease.

The battle went on for awhile.  The dragons moves normally damaged each other but Kyurem was obviously a much higher level then Reshiram so White could tell Reshiram couldn't withstand much more of this.  She hoped N would get there soon as she called out another order her fear evident in her voice.  She watched as Reshiram passed cold falling to the floor in front of her as she looked toward Marcia who had a I win smirk upon her face.

"Where are you N?" White whispered tears in her eyes seeing a blur of black as Zekrom flying over head N jumping down landing beside her Zekrom landing behind them.

N's eyes were full of rage as he glared at his sister saying in a voice White hadn't heard since before the battle 5 years ago, "Marcia, this is between you and I.  Leave White out of this."

"How about no, N?  I can destroy the balance here and now.  Reshiram is knocked out and I can complete father's plan which you failed before," Marcia said her eyes seemed dark as she looked toward White, "Kyurem, Glacite."

White's eyes grew wide then shut tightly as the shards of ice and cold wind came toward her.  Instead she felt something large thrown back against her as she fell to the floor her eyes flying open seeing N's face in front of her's his body against her.

"N?" she asked looking up into his eyes which seemed to be dimming.  She scooted out from under him holding him in her lap feeling the ice shards in his back, "No... N..."

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise," he said coughing up blood, "I'm sorry we couldn't win this one, I'm going to have to leave you once more..."

"No, N your not going to die don't say that," White said tears running down her face feeling his warmth disappearing his grip on her hand loosening as Zekrom disappeared changing back into the black stone.

She looked up toward Marcia whose eyes were wide before the girl called out, "N your an idiot... we could have ruled together as brother and sister."

White saw a tear frozen on Marcia's face as time around her froze in place.  She felt a vibration in her pocket placing her hand in it pulling out the Adamant Orb.  It floated from her hand then shattered.  She quickly looked toward to the side covering her face not to be hit by the stone then looking back, a blue pokemon stood in front of her.  She knew in an instant her, tears still running down her face, the fact time was frozen all around them gave it away.  The pokemon was the guardian of time himself, Dialga.
