Even Gods May Die [SU] PG-13

I would like to thank Avenger Angel for the amazing banner.​

--*--*--*--*--*--

Even Gods may die.

Whoever said those fateful words would never know exactly how right they were. In arrogance, however, the Gods ignored those words, and remained blissfully ignorant of what was coming for them.


--*--*--*--*--*--

Ten years ago, the remains of every great criminal organization, Teams Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, along with the dying remains of Cipher, joined together, the leadership finally seeming to realize that one single group could not win ,but united they were unstoppable, or at least that was the theory. This group did not take a different name, instead operating under their old monikers, and in secret, began to build up a following, with the horridly unoriginal goal of world domination.

Now word of this could not help but reach the Pokémon League World Council, the body that governed the entire world, who immediately decided that action had to be taken to stop this new, massed organization from doing serious damage, and immediately assigned the top secret organization Section 51 to deal with the matter. Section 51 detailed two full strike teams to locate and destroy this group’s base before one of the insane scientists who worked for them could do something stupid.

The commandos were too late. Even as more than fifty of the highest trained and most skilled killers in the World Councils employ stormed the base, the unified criminal Teams began one of the greatest endeavors in history. Having learned that the mysterious type plates found in the ruins near Undella Town in Unova, and underneath the Sinnoh region contained a small fragment of the power of Arceus Itself, these men sought to do the unthinkable; Kill Arceus.

The plan was simple: By means of some unknown machine, the scientists planned to summon Arceus and then drain the Alpha Pokémon of its power, which would be placed inside of soldiers to create the ultimate super soldiers, allowing the group to overrun the people of the world with ease. At least was the theory. However while Section 51 didn’t factor in the appearance of half finished super soldiers in the base defenses, the combined scientists made a further mistake. While the summoning of Arceus was successful, when they attempted to strip it of power, something seemed to have malfunctioned in the system.

In reality nothing went wrong. However sensing that Arceus was in peril, the other legendaries tried to defend the God of Pokémon in the only way possible. Some of them poured their powers into the commandos assaulting the building, hoping that if the soldiers could arrive in time, the process might be stopped. Others used their own powers to defend Arceus. Both efforts where partially successful, while Arceus was unaffected, the Legendaries trying to defend it where stripped of the powers they had, and died. Those who were attempting to aid the commandos were successful as well, and the strike team managed to reach the lab where the extraction was taking place. However, when the remaining soldiers entered that room, something unforeseen occurred. The machine being used to extract the power of the Legends was turned against the soldiers, who were mostly unaware that they were playing host to the power of Gods, and began to strip those legends aiding them of power as well.

By this point, it seemed that the only Legends alive were either pushing power into the soldiers, unaware of the fate that awaited them, or Arceus itself, who, stripped of any more protectors, was slowly dying as well. As the strange machine stripped the remaining Legends of their power, Arceus, nearing death, used that last of its power to destroy the machine, just as the last bit of power was absorbed from the other Legendaries.

The immediate result was incredible. The machine, not yet having transferred the power to the prearranged vessels, and working beyond what it was designed for, exploded with a force that could not be measure in conventional terms. The ball of energy could be seen for thousands of miles in all directions, destroying the chain of Islands that the group had used to hide, and began to expand outwards, threatening to engulf the nearby regions of Sinnoh and Hoenn.

For in that instant the world might have ended. Every single Legendary Pokémon, Gods thought to be immortal, was dead. With nothing to contain the powers they once held; powers that held the Laws of the Universe intact, time ceased to flow, space became distorted, and the weather began to act in strange ways.

Yet, the Universe would not be undone that quickly. Instead, the power that was once contained in each Legendary Pokémon rushed into new vessels. The dome of energy abruptly vanished, the explosion’s force lost. Mass panic threatened to ensue, and the World Council took action stepping in to state the explosion was the result of criminal activity, but that the criminals had been dealt with. The public bought the excuse for the most part and life went on.

--*--*--*--

Section 51 however was not satisfied with the callous dismissal of such a massive blast (which required a new unit of energy to be created: The blast was rated at one Supernova by Section 51 analysts), and began to launch a covert investigation into what happened. Lead by the only survivor of the massive blast, a man known simply as Cartright, the entire organization began to search for an explanation of what had occurred that day.

It took them nearly three months to track down a man who claimed to understand the events that had occurred. When they did, the man willingly explained that he had worked for the combined organization for a time, until they had started looking into the creation of super soldiers. He got as far as explaining that Legendaries where involved before someone shot him at long range with a sniper rifle. Section 51 had all the information they need to draw conclusion however. Armed with the knowledge that legendaries were involved, Section 51 began to search for the elusive Pokémon. Normally a needle in a haystack sort of search, the process was complicated by the fact that the leaders of Section 51 were working without government approval.

However luck was behind them for a time, as almost before the search began, a reconnaissance scan of the area of the blast revealed something shocking. The island was not destroyed, but everything on it was. A through search turned up a single document however, which changed the course of the investigation.

Laying in the dead center of what was later determined to be the building that kick started the entire affair, was a single sheet of paper, typed, single spaced. The paper was fairly simple, explaining in simplistic terms what had happened months earlier. However, it cut off before explaining the reason for the energy blast vanishing, leaving Section 51 empty handed, besides the knowledge that the legends were dead. However this left a question still unanswered.

Why wasn’t the world ending?

This question baffled the brightest minds of the hidden Section 51 for months; theories proposed growing wilder and wilder. Finally almost a full year after the incident, when the public had all but forgotten it, Section 51 found the answer they were seeking. The power of those Legends who had died was now stored in containers around the world. Still working without World Council authorization, Section 51 began to try and find these new containers of Legendary power.

What began as a simple mission quickly changed however, when the remnants of the combined criminal teams, now calling themselves Team Eclipse, began searching as well.

Even as Section 51s finest soldiers are scattered to the four winds, racing to find whatever it was that could contain the power of the Gods, Eclipse has given the world and ultimatum. “Surrender the Gods, or blood will rain from the heavens”. These words delivered by a man in a black cloak over world wide Television, carry a chilling message, showing just how far Eclipse is willing to go to obtain the powers of Gods.

The clock is ticking, on both the search, and the fate of the world.

--*--*--*--

Section 51:

Section 51 is a top secret military group, formed by the World Council, after so many criminal organizations built up, and then got destroyed by singular 10 year old trainers. The objective of Section 51 is simple: to deal with large scale threats, such as Team Plasma, or the newly formed Team Eclipse. Armed to the teeth, and given the most rigorous training possible, a single one of these soldiers can, and often will, kill groups of opposing foot soldiers who outnumber then by as much as twenty or more. In some situations Section 51 operatives are tasked with undercover operations, to infiltrate and destroy groups from the inside out, but most often their plan of attack it to simply kill everything before that can react.

In terms of equipment, Section 51 is on the cutting edge. Any soldier in Section 51 has access to any modern weapon you can imagine, and sophisticated body armor, which provides complete mobility, but also affords protection from most side arms, and shrapnel.

Beyond their skill in combat, Section 51 soldiers are also highly skilled battlers, with each soldier having a chance of defeating an Elite Four member, although this would be unlikely.

However, Section 51 is handicapped by the fact they must answer to the government, and cannot operate in force without the authorization of the World Council, which prevents them from bringing any serious amount of power to bear in countering the threat of Team Eclipse until it might be too late.

Section 51 is trying to defend the Containers, and destroy Eclipse.

--*--*--*--

Team Eclipse: (Notes from the Archives of Section 51)

Eclipse is a recent occurrence, rising up from nothing and quickly turning into the biggest threat we have faced in recent years. Formed from the remnants of the ragtag coalition made up of the remains of several notorious criminal organizations, Eclipse didn’t seem all that threatening, until we began to search for the Containers. Not long after the first teams where dispatched, Eclipse came on the World Television networks, and even radio, to proclaim the following.

“To those who it may concern: No matter what happens your efforts will be in vain. Surrender the Gods, or blood shall rain from the Heaves.” When that transmission was complete, the programming returned to normal.

In the ensuing time, terrorist attacks have happened in every major city, destroying infrastructure, and causing general civilian panic.

Eclipse is trying to capture the Containers, and then use them to take over the world.

--*--*--*--

Legendary Containers:

The Containers are actually a series of crystals scattered around the globe.

To gain the legendary's power; a human simply needs to physically touch the crystal. At that point, the crystal is absorbed into the human, and the human now has that legendary's power. This process has a few side effects however. As long as a person holds a crystal inside of them, they will slowly begin to take on the form of the Pokémon that the crystal is associated with. This process is slow, taking between three days and a week, however when complete, that person will in essence become a Legendary Pokémon.

The process of transformation is slow, and happens in stages. If for instance someone was to acquire the crystal that contained Mew’s powers their transformation might happen something like this: The person’s skin tone would slowly change, becoming pinkish. After a day or two the person might acquire a tail, and ears like Mew. Over the course of another few days, this person would shrink and slowly take on the form of Mew. At any point a person may chose to give up their powers, reverting to a completely normal human once again. However if they chose to take up the crystal again, they will return to their previous state. If a person containing on of these crystals dies, the crystal can be found simply laying next to the corpse.

Not a problem. Adding my own reserve for Mewtwo.

Eon Collector
question, can you be neutral in this, as in, not working for section 51, but not working with team eclipse also?

The way the crystals work reminds me of the Hoenn orbs, minus the transformation.
 

SoulMuse

Shadow of nothing
Yeah, you can be neutral if you like.

Well, never having watched that portion of the anime, I can't really say.

SoulMuse

Shadow of nothing
Alright I will put your reserve down.

As for shinies, I don't care if regular pokemon are shiny. If characters get to the point of becoming legendaries, I would say that no, they shouldn't be shiny.
 

SoulMuse

Keldeo reserved.
 

Avenger Angel

Warrior of Heaven
NAME: Kenneth Fields
GENDER: Male
AGE: 31
SECTION 51: Yes
CONTAINER: Lugia

APPEARANCE: Standing 6'3" and weighing roughly 200 pounds, Kenneth has a firm and muscular frame with a tan skin complexion. Meanwhile, he has brown hair, brown eyes, and a five o' clock shadow as a beard. He also wears a firm expression most of the time, almost never smiling as his role in Section 51 deals with serious matters and he doesn't have a pretty history.

For clothing, Kenneth usually wears black and dark gray night camouflage along with a black bandana around his forehead. The uniform he wears allows him to blend in with dark settings, usually encountered in his black ops and espionage missions. It also allows him to carry everything he needs, including tools, weapons, Pokéballs, and the like.

Meanwhile, he has various scars, but is still in relatively healthy condition. He also has a well-toned body build for agility but is also effective hand-to-hand combat. He doesn't like melee weapons, however. He'll either go with hand to hand approach or use firearms, but pipes, bats, knives, and the like are not his liking. As a black ops personnel operative, he prefers silencers, and stays away from loud weapons like shotguns and explosive weapons. Instead, he is usually carrying silenced pistols, sniper rifles, and at most, a silenced submachine gun.

PERSONALITY: Gruff and rigid, Kenneth doesn't have much for humor outside of remarking at dark irony and bad luck at times. As a highly trained Section 51 operative, he has seen plenty of grizzly things that have hardened his heart, and he's seen some of the worst things both humans and Pokémon are capable of. To him, the world can be an ugly place, and it's no laughing matter. Very little surprises him, however. He's seen torture gone wrong, executions even the average madman wouldn't think of, and combat aftermath that would cause the squeamish to vomit. He knows very well what death looks, sounds, and smells like in its many, macabre forms.

Despite his skill and training, Kenneth still answers to the government of the World Council, which often requires him to authorize critical actions before he can proceed. It often results in him watching a key target escape while he waits for the mission commander to get approval from authorities that grumble about a golf game getting interrupted. In truth, he hates that aspect of the job, and he feels politics and bureaucrats are the greatest internal weapons Team Eclipse has against Section 51. Often, it also leads to Kenneth having to restrain from using lethal and aggressive actions and not engage his enemies unless he is fired upon or attacked by enemy personnel and/or their Pokémon. He finds this is a waste of his talents and only gives Team Eclipse ease of mind knowing they'll always get the first strike, a fact that has turned would-be mission successes into failures and needless casualties among his squad mates and civilians just to maintain political correctness.

In terms of the Containers and the legendary Pokémon, Kenneth doesn't think of them as gods as he instead thinks of them as being powerful overseers among Pokémon. He certainly doesn't pray to any of them or even consider paying tribute. He acknowledges their power, but that's about it. As far as the Containers go, it's a mission objective for him to find and protect the others, as well as watch his own hide now that he's one of them.

HISTORY: Born in Slateport City, Hoenn, to Paula Fields and Derek Fields, Kenneth was the oldest child to his three siblings, a younger brother and two younger sisters. For the most part, Kenneth's childhood was dark, including a parental divorce when he was only eight years old, along with the death of his father to a drunk driver. Meanwhile, in school, Kenneth only performed well in subjects he cared about. Everything was motivation driven, and it showed in his grades.

Even as a child, Kenneth was strong. He was targeted once by a bully in school, and when the bully struck him in the shoulder first, Kenneth had him on the ground with a kick to the knee followed by a punch to the face which left the bully with a bloody nose. He was never messed around with again after that.

Kenneth wasn't too enthusiastic about a Pokémon journey, but he decided to go for it anyway. He was unlike other trainers who took their time and enjoyed their travels casually. Instead, he trained hard and ferociously, turning his Pokémon more into weapons rather than friends and companions. Gym leaders who had put down so many teams before his were unpleasantly surprised to have to face Kenneth's teams. The strategy he employed then and still uses today was to strike fast and violently, living by the credo of a strong offense as being the best defense by making sure the enemy was suppressed and never got the chance to make a reprisal. He kept his opponents suppressed and mandated that they think fast or lose quickly. Very often, in the confusion, they couldn't think of a response quickly enough, which was a mistake that usually cost them the entire match. Gym leaders also had trouble reading him. Kenneth was never one for small talk during a battle, and was deadly silent in response to the usual taunts and gym leader egotism. Most gym leaders would admit, they really don't like facing people like Kenneth, and are glad his kind are rare.

Kenneth was approached by the military before he was able to sign up for the league. In truth, the prospect of becoming a league champion was merely a title to Kenneth. He felt there was far better purpose in using his skills and abilities toward an actual goal rather than competitive achievement. Thus, he agreed to undergo training to eventually become a Section 51 black ops soldier instead of spending the rest of the time training for the League.

Despite the hard training and jeers from drill instructors, Kenneth had already steeled himself against such things, and proved he had the will to become an effective operative. The training program had put him through a lot before he was deployed on surveillance and intelligence operations, many of which he performed as best as he could. Failures were often the result of unforeseen circumstances that were not his fault. Such as someone in the World Council delaying an authorization to neutralize a target, or military reconnaissance intelligence failing to report circumstances that jeopardized his mission. Other times it was because of a squad member making a negligent mistake.

Now, against Team Eclipse, he is deployed full time against their operations. The only crystal he has managed to obtain was Lugia's after a monitored member of Team Eclipse, Nathan L. Hunter, had gotten to it first. Kenneth had gotten authorization to assassinate Hunter, though he had not expected the crystal and had absorbed it soon afterword by mistake. He had reported it to HQ, who simply told him to "hold onto it under further notice." Kenneth's commanders still haven't made up their minds regarding what to do with the crystal Kenneth has, and for the most part, the general consensus is to just leave it in Kenneth's hands and allow him to continue as normal. The issue was quickly dropped and thrown aside as they were far more concerned about other more serious matters involving Team Eclipse, so Kenneth has been left in charge of the crystal indefinitely. They do not, however, know that Kenneth is slowly transforming into a Lugia and is already able to use some of the legendary's powers.

POWERS: Already, Kenneth is able to use psychic powers and read minds, an ability that has helped him immensely when it comes to getting an idea of what his enemies are thinking, and whether they're distracted. Meanwhile, he has the ability of kinesis, able to lift and move objects using only his mind.

Meanwhile, he can also breathe underwater, and his eyesight is getting better, allowing him to read things even at a great distance. He also has the ability to detect heat and movement, allowing him to become an extremely effective at espionage in ways a normal human could never be.

At least for now...

POKÉMON

Name: Coal
Species: Mightyena
Appearance: Gruff, strong, and scarred. Coal had seen his fair share of hell, and his rugged body shows it. Meanwhile, his left ear is a bit notched, the result of a laceration from an enemy Pokémon attack that never quite healed fully.
Personality/History: Coal is loyal only to Kenneth, and is extremely protective of his master. Coal has also been with Kenneth since the very beginning, and most of the hardships Kenneth has seen, Coal has seen and felt also. Meanwhile, not very much surprises Coal as he is ready for almost anything and has seen plenty already. Gunfire, explosions, and shouts that would startle most other Pokémon half to death are all the things Coal has heard and felt before. Meanwhile, in combat, he is merciless and unforgiving of mistakes, which often makes his enemies believe he is a badly dishonorable fighter.

Name: Raze
Species: Weavile
Appearance: Battle-worn, Raze has seen plenty of combat and has been in rough situations before. His black skin shows signs of scratches and wear, but in general, is still in good health. Meanwhile, his head crest is a bit frayed.
Personality/History: Raze is a speed freak, and is a very devious fighter who also works well with Coal. Meanwhile, he is fearless and doesn't concern himself with safety and only seems to acknowledge pain and injury when the battle is done and over. Raze came into Kenneth's possession as a Sneasel, traded from a Johto trainer that admired a Breloom that Kenneth had, who was more of the happy-go-lucky type that didn't quite fit with Kenneth's rigorous training methods.

Name: Vice
Species: Aerodactyl
Appearance: Like the other two, Vice has seen plenty of combat and has the marks to prove it, although his aren't as apparent. Vice's teeth and jaws are somewhat sharper and stronger.
Personality/History: Vice deploys a scare factor in his enemies, paralyzing them with fear. He also hates evil, and surprisingly is kind-hearted in ways that Raze and Coal aren't, even though one would suspect exactly the opposite. As Vice's history goes, he was revived from a fossil that was brought from a trainer who believed it was worthless.
