Fae gasped as she looked at the destruction around her. Did the Fennekin tribe come and attack this village while she was gone?

Fae felt bad. Maybe she shouldn't have gone out to get help.

However, the truth of what happened wasn't very far away. One of the elder Eevee was stumbling around in a daze. The orange color of the Eevee was covered in scratch marks, blood, and bruises.

Fae approached the elder with shock. "What happened?" She asked him as she glanced around. Was whoever did this still here?

Fae grit her teeth, awaiting a response.

The elder coughed, placing a paw over his chest. "He...betrayed us." The elder forced out softly.

What? Who betrayed them?

"Corvus destroyed our village, and now he's on his way to destroying the Fennekin Tribe." The Orange elder informed Fae.

What? How was this possible? Corvus wanted peace for his village. Why would he do something like this? Fae didn't understand. Was he that upset with her?

"How do you know where he's going?" Fae asked the elder. The orange Eevee coughed before speaking. His voice was obviously starting to fail him. "The...Darkrai was ordering him around. It was weird. Now, he's been ordered to destroy the other village. We don't know why this Darkrai is after us."

Fae froze.

A Darkrai? What was that stupid teadrinker doing here? And why was he after her friends now?

Fae shook her head to herself as Lazarus and Zen approached the elder. "So an Eevee destroyed this village? Fae, I thought you said it was a tribe of Fennekin who was attacking this place." Zen remarked confused.

Fae nodded. "I did. This is news to me. But I do suppose this is just as important. I have a feeling that Darkrai hypnotized Corvus into doing this." Fae remarked.

Zen and Lazarus stared at her in confusion. "A Darkrai hypnotized? It makes sense, but why would this Darkrai do this?"

Fae sighed. There was still so much explaining to do to not only this village and tribe, but also to her new friends as well. There was no right way to piece her words together. Unless she was really smart, which she wasn't.

"I don't know why. This Darkrai seems to have followed me and my brother all the way out here."

Fae then gasped. "Wait, where is Eon and Neri?!" She exclaimed, feelings of worry burying deep into her chest as she looks around. She then looks back at the orange Eevee expectantly.

The older orange Eevee coughed as his tail twitched in agony. "Eon and Neri? The Umbreon? Well, I suppose they're okay. They went off to help the Fennekin tribe when they heard. I don't know why we're both being targeted, but please go help."

The orange Eevee then noticed the Zacian and Zamazenta. He gasped.

"Old friends!" He exclaimed. Lazarus dipped his head while Zen stared at the older Pokémon with a straight face. "It's great you're here, Laz, Zen. It would appear we've gotten ourselves into a pit too deep. I know you've always been busy, but could you two spare the time to help us? I know that we greatly hate this Fennekin village, but there's young and old there who don't stand a chance against a Darkrai. Or a Mewtwo."

A Mewtwo? He's here too? That scientist? Damn. Did they bring anyone else?

"Don't worry, sir. We will go and help this Fennekin village. Perhaps with this you can finally get the rest you deserve. Hopefully they'll be willing to stop this war after this." Fae promised.

Lazarus dipped his head even further if that was even possible, and Zen let out a huff. "I suppose we could do that. Haven't been in a proper fight in ages." Zen grunted as he flexed his claws.

"Do you need us to bring you inside?" Fae asked him. The orange Eevee grunted as he struggled to get up.

"I can go inside on my own. There's more dead." The orange Eevee remarked sadly.

He was right. The little village was completely dead. Nobody was outside. Fae supposed they were all either inside cowering in fear, dead, or too injured to move or speak—unlike the orange Eevee.

The orange Eevee began to limp towards his and the other elder's den. He turned around. "Please stop that Darkrai. I don't know why he attacked us, but he obviously doesn't care about anyone."

Fae nodded.

"A Darkrai you say? Hmm, could it be possible...?" Zen wondered aloud, trailing off. Lazarus dipped his head in solemn agreement. "Most likely. What a shame. He was such a nice Pokémon in his younger age."

"Huh? What is it?" Fae asked them.

"Come, we will tell you on the way." Lazarus informed, nudging her with his muzzle towards the bush that marked the exit. Fae blinked before following.

She was learning so much, and it wasn't just Pokémon moves and type advantages. The history of Pokémon was such a curious one. This was something she wouldn't have gotten in her sheltered life.

The three ran in silence. Fae really hoped her family was okay. She had been dealing with certain things all by herself. They probably hate me for abandoning them and going on such adventures alone. But hey, at least I was able to get through those dungeons. I've grown a bit stronger. Now I'm not level five anymore. Now I'm level 50, though I passed on the self damaging moves myself.

Fae had been contemplating on what Eeveelution she had wanted to evolve into. She didn't want to evolve into a Flareon, though. She saw a shiny Flareon the other day, and the Flareon looked ridiculously similar to the regular one.

It just looked yellowish. Yikes.

She thought about evolving into a Jolteon like her mother, however it's shiny also looked more sickly in appearance than what she wanted.

I might evolve into either a Vaporeon, Sylveon, or Umbreon. I could also stay an Eevee. I do like this silverish color on me.

Fae halted, hearing a gasp from Zen.

She stretched her neck out. Was it truly that bad? She felt her eyes widen as she saw the damage. Well, the damage that has already happened. In the midst of it was a demented Eevee with blood on his face.

Corvus twisted his face around. His eyes were glowing pink with hypnosis. He stumbled, and almost fell.

He growled.

"What are you doing here, toots?" He asked with a lopsided smile on his face. What happened here?

Fae's ears fell back. "I was here to make peace with the Fennekin Tribe." She spoke out. There didn't seem to be much of the Fennekin tribe left anyways, but Fae was willing to help make amends with them. She was more peaceful than anyone else at the moment.

A Darkrai floated out. "Peace? Hah! You can't get peace by talking things out." He spoke.

Fae then noticed Eon, Neri, Fergus, and Mauve standing their ground. Mauve was sporting heavy injuries while Eon and Neri both had a few scratch marks. Fergus seemed to have the least amount of scratches, surprisingly. He only had one on his muzzle.

"I mean, have you ever tried talking things out?" Fae asked him with a swish of her tail. "I'm sure we could solve this without fighting."

A simple Dark Pulse answered her as she quickly dodged the attack with Quick Attack in order to get out of the way.

The deranged Darkrai growled, obviously knowing his move missed.

A Luxray jumped out of the bushes, seeing Fae. "You," the Luxray began, ignoring Fae at first. He was approaching Skliros. Skliros chuckled. "So, have you changed your mind? We could always use another meat shield." Skliros remarked, snapping his fingers at Viola.

The Gothita eagerly used Hypnosis on the Luxray. The Luxray collapsed immediately before standing up with the same pink eyes that Corvus had.

Born Corvus and the Luxray snarled at Fae. "Kill Eon!" Skliros ordered with rage.

The two Pokémon immediately charged at Eon who was facing them expectantly.

The two enraged Pokémon started attacking Eon, although Corvus had been already attacking him beforehand when they got there.

The Darkrai turned towards Fae and the two heroes of old. "So, you're here now, Vee? Come to watch your brother die?"

"So you're in control of Corvus, huh? Can't do your own dirty work can you? Only rely on others to do your own work for you, huh?" Fae demanded. She felt enraged. This Pokémon she had only encountered twice, but him threatening her brother was more than enough for her to despise his actions.

The Darkrai shook his head. "I do not rely on others alone. I merely see what they can do. Or hear in this case. I hear the clinking of metal. Do you have allies with you?"

Before Fae could confirm, Zen softly smacked her mouth with a paw. He bent down to her level. "That Darkrai is blind. He cannot learn of us. We can beat him now if we don't tell him of all three of us."

Fae nodded. She knew what she had to do. "Alright, but we should probably defeat Viola first."

"Who?"

"The Gothita."

"Oh."

The three then prepared to aid her brother in this battle.

If anything, this would hopefully make amends with the Fennekin Tribe. Then hopefully they would be friends with the Eevee Tribe. One could only hope that anyways.
