  • Darkrai Darkurai: Entries of a Dark Heart

    ((Once again, I'll be doing a two-entry deal [even if it wasn't originally intended], so keep your eyes peeled...))

    Saturday 28/07/2007 -- 5 days after the She-Darkrai's disappearance

    The Real Truth...

    ...
    ...

    I had... nearly forgotten...

    Many years ago, when the World was still young and I was as naive as a child, I foolishly contacted Azelf, the Being of Willpower, into a duel. He was a pint-sized fairy creature. How could I ever lose?
    ...Needless to say, Azelf thrashed me with Superior strength, speed, and overall tactics. And when I so much as made contact with him by using Shadow Claw or Night Slash, I would become temporarily paralyzed.

    But I refused to give up such a match, give up on anyone...
    Sometime later, I requested Uxie, the Being of Knowledge, do battle with me. I heard he had more bark than bite, so it would be simple to outmaneuver his moves and Dark Void him into nothingness.
    ...Once again, I found myself cornered and battered. Uxie's Amnesia prevented many of my Special Attacks from drastically harming him, and whenever I came in close he would Yawn me, having the Prince of Darkness fall into his own void of slumber...

    But, as I was young and naive, I disregarded my loss and went to find one more contender.
    The Being of Emotion. Mesprit. She was my next victim... or rather, I was her's.
    Though she was not so tough as Azelf, she had enough power to overwhelm Uxie's. And though her defenses were not as high as Uxie's, her tactics were as well-played as Azelf's.
    I... fell to my knees in anguish. I was beginning to lose all hope in myself, and whatever Dark Powers my Master had supplied me. Could it be that the Prince of Darkness was the one with more Bark than Bite? Was I so pathetic that I could not take out the Beings four times smaller than myself?
    Seeing me mourn selfishly, the Being of Emotion took pity on me and gave me an insight on what I had locked deep within me: Compassion. Emotion. Love. But I mocked her, stating how I only had a Dark Heart, and it was impossible for me to be supplied with those feelings. Mesprit only shook her head... smiling... and, for some reason, seeing her do that made me break down harder than before.
    She truly is the Being of Emotion...

    ...Today, almost a week since the She-Darkrai disappeared... I learned the atrocious, deceitful, and undignified truth...

    It was a lie.
    All of it -- everything -- had been a false truth.
    EVERYTHING...

    My Master... a day after the She-Darkrai disappeared... descended from the Hall of Origin, and payed me a visit... He was accompanied with the King of Time, Dialga, and the Ruler of Space, Palkia.
    Before I had enough time to react, he told me that what I was about to hear may sound... unpleasant... but that it was for my own good.

    He explained that he knew everything about the She-Darkrai: how she came into existance, what she had been doing, where she was hiding out, whom she visited. Everything.
    And, it just so happened that how she truly came to being was not through the work of Giratina, the Shadow Master.

    ...It was by Arceus's own hand.

    Arceus had created the She-Darkrai.
    Arceus had created her to, bluntly, "spy" on me.
    He created her to see how I would react... to a rebellion... something he knew my Dark Heart had desired since the day I was Created...

    Arceus had created her to test my allegiance to him. It was all a self-centered plot, a sickening mistrust with I.
    And when he found out that I was still ever-loyal to Him, he... simply made her disappear.

    She, the She-Darkrai, had been nothing more than an illusion...
    an illusion...

    My Master went on explaining how the Shadow Master Giratina had been forewarned of the events, and how the "She-Darkrai" would do something to aggrivate him. This was only step one, of many.
    Giratina had been in Arceus's plans all along. How I should have known better.

    But what shocked me the most was not Giratina's dispicable mockery of my Brilliance.

    Cresselia, my Mortal Enemy, had been on this, too.

    Arceus explained how, according to His plans, Cresselia was supposed to make contact with me and tell how she had seen "something." It was a trick, to have me blindly seek a disillusioned truth.

    It had been one... big... game... against me. And I never knew... I could never figure out the truth... the Real Truth...

    ...It is undeniable any longer. My Dark Heart has failed me, and I have failed myself, Sinnoh, the rest of the World...

    I was in love with her.
    That She-Darkrai.
    I was so close to denying my feelings for her, up until she went unto my Newmoon Island.
    I knew all along what the feeling was. I was simply keeping myself in denial.
    I had fallen... deeply... in love with her, since the day we first laid eyes upon each others' Dark Auras.
    There was something about her, that had me attracted like a Mothim to a crackling fire.
    And I admit it. Admit it all: I loved seeing her smile. I loved her embraces. I loved how she spoke, how she looked at me every waking moment of my pitiful life. She gave me purpose for living. She gave me... new life.

    But now, it is all over. All of it. ALL OF... Everything...
    She had been nothing more than a false truth... a pawn in my Master's plan...

    My Master...
    I have sworn an allegiance to you... and this is how you repay me... my Great... merciful... Master...
    Now he expects me to continue my works of NightMares, as if nothing had... ever happened...

    ...

    .......There has only been once in my life when I felt like this... The day when Mesprit briefly opened my Dark Heart.

    And I had... nearly forgotten...

    Adieu... Slumberers...

    Quote from Happy Mask Salesman


    It would be nice if they made it for Game Cube as well.

    Yes... Kind of like how Twilight Princess was worked for both GCN and Wii. But, if I'm correct, the GCN wouldn't have been able to handle the graphical powers of Brawl, so if they tapped with those graphics so to fit Brawl onto both Wii and GCN, it would be nothing more than a Melee "remake" with added characters and some new stages/items.

    NEW NEWCOMER!! FINALLY!

    Welcome, from Fire Emblem...

    <IKE>

    :D

    ^ Indeed.
    I just happened to come across this. It sounded so profoundly immature, it was hilarious. XD
    And it sounds just like those fanboys at the Nintendo Forums... They speculate way too hard there. It can get very annoying, really...

    Days 8, 23, 29, 40, 41, 44, 48 and 49 are the ones I found most humorous out of that...

    Poor Deoxys. :(

    Just for closing: NEW STAGE! XD

  • The Official Super Smash Bros Brawl Thread

    Yeh, the new item: Pitfall.

    I still haven't played Animal Crossing... so, naturally, I've never seen this item before. It looks pretty interesting, as simple as it is. Could come in pretty handy... It's almost like the Motion Sensor, except it doesn't detonate when you step on it, and this one actually disappears.

    ~~

    Oh, and just for kicks, if you thought you heard a horrible rant, wait until you see these (LINK ON MOTORCYCLE FTW XD). As stated, "an accurate description of the Smash Bros. FANBASE responses to the Dojo Updates" (I suppose this is what happens when you expect too much):

    ((Here's the second part... I'm withholding the final two entries of "season 2" until tomorrow... Then begins possibly the final, or next-to-final season for Darkrai's entries.))

    Monday 23/07/2007 -- Two days after "Mutiny"

    Decisions... Decisions...

    ...
    ...

    I have given myself... a couple days' worth of time to think. Think about my possible future, decide whether or not to go with the She-Darkrai's plot against my Master... and change my life -- and the World -- as I know it.

    I have decided... not to go with her. I will remain on my Newmoon, attending to my duties, whatever they may be, no matter how simple they are. And if she succeeds in overthrowing my Master... so be it. It was destined to occur.
    However, if her plan fails, she and the Shadow Master will be so thoroughly punished... I can only imagine what awaits for Giratina's unfortunate future. Not only was he in on the plan, but he was the one to bring the She-Darkrai into this World. Oh yes, my Master will not tolerate such behavior...

    As for the She-Darkrai... She will either be kept as a captive for all eternity, or destroyed on the spot. A sudden Judgment from Master Arceus can wipe out anything, anyone, from existance.

    I almost feel...
    ...pity...
    ...for her.

    As of now, the She-Darkrai has left me. Alone. Lost. Confused. And angered. She never so much as left me a goodbye to linger on, nor a passing smile... not so much as a sudden embrace from out of the Shadows, which I have grown... fond of.
    She has disappeared out of my life. So suddenly... so very suddenly...
    To think, just about a month ago... maybe two... I had just found her from out of the blue. She entered my life quickly, and I still remember my promise to exterminate her for soiling my Black Name.

    Because of her, Cresselia has little importance in my life (not that She, my Mortal Enemy, has had much importance to me to begin with). Because of her, my Dark Heart has become vulnerable... desolate... and tormented. Just the thought of her... does something to me. A feeling I cannot explain, one that I cannot even begin to grasp. Oh how my Brilliance has become as sharp as ever... but when it comes to the feelings of Emotion, Mesprit has blessed me little.

    ...I recall a time ago when I said how the She-Darkrai would lead me to my downfall. How she would do this, I knew not.

    But now, I think I am beginning to understand...

    Originally, this wasn't supposed to be a two-part post... but, I'll update again later today with another entry... and possibly even a third.))

    Saturday 21/07/2007

    Mutiny...

    ...
    ...

    The other day, I said I would confront the She-Darkrai, and dismiss her off my Newmoon Island. I put aside any personal conflicts, and ignored her message of blackmail from days ago.
    The other day, I said I would confront the She-Darkrai, dismiss her off my island, and move on with my life. It would be a time of sewing for me -- I would fix those parts in my life I felt needed mending.
    The other day, I said I would confront the She-Darkrai, dismiss her off my island, move on with my life... and never be more lonely. Have I begun to take a liking for her? Is it because she is like me... or is it because we are so different?

    Whatever the case, it matters little now.

    When I approached her as promised, my plan driven into my Mind like a nail into wood, she was not staring at me but looking out at the sea. It was Twilight, so the image was breathtaking. The Sun, that annoying thing, was beginning to move its way through the darkness below the horizon... The sky was painted in many colors, and the sea was calm and shimmering under the stars above.

    The She-Darkrai never noticed me till I was beside her, gazing at the sight before us. I never noticed just how... the sunrise was. I have such a hatred for the Sun that its beauty is overwhelmed by my biased views. I would have never guessed it could create such a scene...

    As she always did whence I was beside her, the She-Darkrai faced me, apparently smiling. But there was a certain sparkle in her eyes... and it was not pertained to the Sun's rising.

    Before I could lift a finger or mutter a word, she proposed a plan she said she had devised since her days on Newmoon.

    Retaliation.
    Uprising.
    Mutiny.
    A revolution.

    Those were just some of the words I heard her say.
    She mentioned something about my Master Arceus... how she had formulated an impeccable plot to bring him to his knees before Our Might.
    She finally explained where she originated, and why Master Arceus knew not of her creation:
    She said that she came from a world opposite of mine, and was brought her by...

    none other than Shadow Master Giratina.

    The Great Shadow Master had been in this all along, and the reason she had tried to "break" my Pact with him was so to get my attention from my routine NightMares, and away from my Mortal Enemy... It was also a way to test my Allegiance to the Shadow Master, to see if I would spare his life if I were threatened by him...

    She continued to say how if I were to join her and the Shadow Master, we could overthrow Arceus once and for all, and be the Supreme Rulers of the World. Controling the Powers of Time and Space.

    It was in those moments when I remembered the day I met with my Master. He gave me... a Tour... of Sinnoh, and showed me where the She-Darkrai lay when I had just learned of her existance.
    During that Tour, Time-Ruler Dialga and Space-Ruler Palkia were with Us.
    Was the reason Arceus had summoned Dialga and Palkia... was to speak with them about plots of Mutiny? Had my Master known of the She-Darkrai's intentions, or was he only hearing rumors of it? How? Why?

    By the time the She-Darkrai had finished, my mind was ecstatic, bewildered, and angered all at once. She had only been using me... sucking up to me so to gain my trust. She knew of my Dark Desires, how I have always wanted to rule over the lands of Sinnoh, and more. She knew of my Companionship with the Shadow Master, and that I could not afford to let him down in such a generous offer...

    What if we were to succeed in bringing the downfall of my Master, Arceus... my generous... merciful... Master...

    ...At this point in time, I have not made up my mind on whether to join the She-Darkrai's Rebellion.

    This is the moment I have been waiting for all my life.
    A time for change. It is the perfect opportunity...
    and yet, it... troubles... my Dark Heart...

    But why?

    Why?

  • HELP

    As mort said, please edit next time, so to avoid double posting. :)

    Unfortunately, I don't know how to hack. >> And I'm sure there are a lot more of us who don't know how to deal with hackers, with the exception of Happy Mask Salesman... which is why not many of us can help you, and why a lot of us aren't replying... How do we help in a situation we have no control over? Sorry. :(

    The only thing we can do is ask how the situation at the forum is (as mort asked).
