And now onto the Chapter!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Armin opened the first page and began reading.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was complete darkness. A Dark Void devoid of anything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's happening? Why is it dark?" Sasha wandered squinting her eyes, as she looked at the dark screen.
"We would know what is happening if you stop interrupting, Potato girl" Ymir spoke bluntly causing the cadets to laugh.
"I am terribly sorry" Sasha apologized flushing in embarrassment.
"Stop with that formal tone would you" Ymir sighed annoyed, as Armin continued.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So we are finally dead, huh?" A 16 Year Old Raven haired boy asked casually, like death means very little to him. The boy was very handsome, with beautiful Golden Eyes like twin stars. His beautiful face looked like it was carved by Goddess Meloetta herself.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The girls amongst the audience blushed seeing the handsome boy.
"He is.....is..so pretty" Mina muttered.
"He is" Krista gulped blushing.
Even Ymir and Annie had to admit the boy is handso.....no not handsome. He is beautiful. They felt like someone had opened a cage of butterflies in their stomach.
"His eyes are like stars" Sasha muttered feeling herself getting lost in those blazing eyes.
Jean bit his lip feeling a little jealous at the attention this new guy is receiving.
"What's the big deal?!" Jean huffed causing Eren to smirk.
"What's the matter Jean?" Eren said, his voice sly "Are you feeling jealous?". Jean reddened in anger but bit his lip not wanting to embarrass himself in front of so many, especially someone like Erwin.
"Behold the Hero who was promised" Arceus said "My Chosen One! Ashura".
"So he is your hero huh?!" Levi muttered a little distasteful "He is just a kid. How is he going to change our destiny?"
Mew just smiled but didn't say anything, knowing that Levi will soon eat those words.
"Who is Meloetta?" Petra asked, her eyes still on Ash's face, especially his beautiful eyes, which caused her heart to flutter.
"Meloetta is the Goddess of Art and Songs" Mew explained causing Petra to nod.
"But I don't understand" Marco began a little confused "Why is he saying that he is dead? He is still alive and well?!"
"That's a bit confusing" Erwin said looking at Mew "Will you enlight us?"
"You will know soon enough" Mew commented pointing at Armin to resume his reading.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[I don't know, partner] Chirped a chubby yellow Mouse with Red cheeks and lightning bolt shaped tail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's so cute!" Krista gushed, stars in her eyes.
"What's that Thing" Connie asked incredulous "It looks like an overgrown rat". The others too, especially Hange, looked at the strange animal with facination.
"That Thing, Mr Springer" Mew stressed the word "Is a Pokemon"
"A Pokemon?" Hange asked curiously.
"Yes a Pokemon. They are diverse creatures from our World who could manipulate the very elements" Mew grinned "They are my creation. I created them along with Humans"
"This Creature is a Pikachu, the Thunder mouse" Mew explained "It can manipulate Lightning"
"Wait! Wait! Wait" Hange shook with excitement "You are telling me that this little thing can fire bolts of Lightning?! As in Lightning and Thunder??!!"
"Yes"
"It also looks intelligent" Erwin said, his eyes sharply observing the Creature "It's thoughts are almost human like"
"Pokemon are sentient" Mew explained "They think just like humans. Some can learn Human language too if they are taught"
They were also shocked at an animal learning human language.
"Damn!" Levi looked surprised "And you are telling me that your World is full of sentient creatures like this? And they peacefully co-exist with Humans?!"
"Mostly yes" Mew nodded "Though there will always be some rotten eggs who disrupts the Peace time to time. But mostly both Pokemon and Humans co-exist peacefully"
The Cadets were awed by this. This tiny creature can control lightning and there is a world full of them. Hange was particularly salivating at the though of seeing this mouse in action.
"This Mouse can hold us massively in the fight against the Titans" Eren declared causing most, especially the Elites to nod in agreement, while the Warriors were feeling a little troubled at that.
Erwin was surprised at that. Why did creatures with such extraordinary powers allowed humanity to exist and not wipe them out like the Titans are trying in their World?
"This Creatures are more powerful than Titans" Reiner muttered, feeling a little unease. He knows that with Technology the Power of Titans will become obsolete in the future. So a creature with the powers of lightning arriving in their World might ruin their plans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bloody Ultra Beasts" Ash grumbled. It was a shock for the Allied League, when the Ultra Beasts attacked Galar, following Eternatus's bloody rampage throughout the region.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who is Eternatus?" Petra asked.
"The Corrupt God of Power and Energy" Mew explained.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it was just Elernatus alone, Ash could have handled that easily. But the Ultra Beasts following the Legendary, is something that Ash hadn't thought in a thousand years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The others had their eyes widened at that.
"He..he defeated a God?!" Jean had his eyes widened.
"Well Eternatus was only in his spirit form" Mew shrugged.
"But still defeating a God" Berthold muttered feeling a little unease. This boy can ruin their mission.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do you think the death is permanent this time?" Ash asked his best friend, who only shrugged his tiny shoulders.
Pikachu doesn't know if this time their death is permanent or not. They have died more times than most people have birthdays. But in the end, they were always revived.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wait!!! WHAT?!!!" Marco shouted in disbelief while the others were stunned at that.
"What does that mean?" Ymir asked feeling unease.
"He is telling the truth" Mew smiled in amusement "Ashura had died many times in the past, but he was always revived back to life".
The others were shocked by this.
"How can you revive someone after death?" Levi asked in disbelief "I thought it was permanent?". Though he felt a little envious. His friends Isabel and Farlan were both killed because of his need for revenge. But they didn't't get a second chance while this brat did.
"If only my mother...." Eren though sadly.
"To be so casual about his own death" Erwin looked impressed "This boy is very brave or very stupid".
"Bravery and stupidity are the two sides of the same coin, Commander" Mew said smiling causing Erwin to crack a small smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Unfortunately you two aren't dead. Not yet" A deep baritone voice spoke with barely concealed annoyance. Ash smiled in amusent as he turned to back. There stood a tall red headed man, in an open jacket, wearing a black beaver hat and red combat boots. But the strange thing about the man, was the black demonic wings that are sprouted from his back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why does this human has wings?" Reiner asked confused.
"Because he is not a human" Mew replied back causing the others to look surprised.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello old friend!" Ash said grinning.
[Hello Yveltal] Pikachu waved in greeting.
This is Yveltal, the God of Death. Right now he was in his human form.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had their eyes widened at that and they, even Levi, felt a bit unease.
"A death God" Ymir muttered feeling a little unease, sweat running down her back.
"Didn't think I would have the fortune to see the God of death" Erwin muttered his eyes a little wide.
"I am more surprised that Ash is so casual with the death God" Annie said, a little awed at the bravery.
"Erwin is right" Levi muttered, his eyes a little wide "He is either brave or stupid"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am not your bloody friend!!" Snapped the agitated God, his dark Red eyes glinting dangerously "I have tried to collect your Soul, every time you two have died. Did you know how annoying it is to go back empty handed, every single time, huh? You two cheat your death time and again"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some tension evaporated at that.
"Didn't thought I would see a God so frustrated" Mina chuckled.
"Cheating death huh!" Eren said with melancholy, thinking about his mother, causing Mikasa too look at her adopted brother with worry.
"Eren" She muttered. She knew what he was thinking. She was thinking the same about her parents who were killed by Slavers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on, give us a break will you" Ash sighed "Why are you in such a foul mood, every time we meet?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This kid seriously got some balls" Levi said feeling a little respect "To mouth a God as annoying really needs bravery"
Petra looked surprised at her Captain's tone of respect.
"Did you just compliment someone?" Petra asked teasingly.
Levi didn't bother replying, causing both Petra and Hange to chuckle in amusement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Yeah don't blame my partner on it] The Mouse Pokemon chirped [Blame your Sister Xerneas on this. She, along with Ho-Oh and Arceus, are the ones who tether our Souls in the mortal Realm, every single time]
The God of Death only growled in anger, knowing both of them were right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is it a good idea angering a God of Death?" Krista asked feeling a little worried for Ash.
"Do not fear Krista. Nothing would happen to the Chosen" Mew assured the petite blonde.
"Looks like Ash knows many other Gods too" Erwin said hearing the Gods name, which included Arceus.
"Xerneas is the Goddess of Life while Ho-OH is the God of Purity and rebirth" Mew explained.
"Still doesn't explaine them reviving him every time" Levi muttered "Isn't that favoritism? I thought Gods were impartial"
"All Gods have their favorites" Mew shrugged.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pikachu is right, brother dear" A sweet voice spoke "Don't blame them" The Voice belonged to a beautiful angelic girl, who looked same age as Ash. She has beautiful blue eyes and her indigo hair is in a ponitail. She wore Purple-Blue Armour, and had a Golden horn shaped Tiara resting on her head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many in the theatre, especially the males, felt their throat clench as they looked at who must be the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.
"She....is so beautiful!" Connie looked dazed.
Jean, Berthold and Marco nodded dumbly, while Reiner felt a blush on his cheeks. Even Levi and Erwin had to agree this Woman is something else.
"She looked outworldly" Eren muttered blushing causing Mikasa to glare at the screen in jealousy. She felt a little insecure.
The other girls, especially Sasha and Mins, looked a little envious of the girl's beauty.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lady Xerneas" Ash bowed in greeting, his partner following a second later, as they greeted the Goddess of Life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So she is Xerneas! That explains the beauty" Berthold says looking at the beautiful woman "She really is a Goddess". The others nodded at that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Said Goddess chuckled lightly while shaking her head "You don't need to bow to me, Ashura" She said softly "We are friends"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How many gods does he know personally?" Jean asked feeling a little baffled at the amount of Powerful beings Ash knows.
"Well he is the Chosen One" Hange said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You mean more than friends" Yveltal muttered. He knows very well that Ash has been sleeping with his sister, since the Kalos Crisis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The audience, especially the males, had their jaws dropped at that.
"Sleep.....sleeping with a Goddess" Marco gulped feeling a little jealous, though he squashed it immediately.
"Damn! Lucky bastard" Jean cursed a little with envy, at the thought that someone only a year older than him, is banging a Goddess.
The Girls too felt a little jealous at that. Even the stoic ones like Ymir and Annie felt a pit of jealousy at the thought of Ash sleeping with someone, though they couldn't explain why they are jealous.
"Look Commander" Hange teased laughing "He is only 16 and is banging a Goddess. While you are still a virgin!"
Petra had her jaw dropped at Hange teasing Commander Erwin in front of young Cadets. Meanwhile the Cadets were biting their lips, trying their best not to laugh at the thought of their 30 year Old hard as stone Commander being a virgin.
"You four eyed idiot" Levi resisted the urge to facepalm.
Erwin however was unbothered by the taunt. Instead he just shrugged his shoulders replying "Last I remember, so were you"
This time the Cadets did laugh at the return jab by the Commander.
"Great Comeback!" Jean laughed.
"Yeah it was a sucker punch!" Connie agreed laughing.
"Emotional Damage" Mew exclaimed giggling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was funny actually. Despite being trillions of years Old, his Sister had been a chaste Virgin while Ash was considered romantically dense by his friends, as many women had tried to win his affection to no avail. He knows that girl Serena had tried on multiple occasions.
So both of them shagging each other seemed like an enormous jape for the God of Death. Though he knows that Xerneas isn't the only girl Ash had shagged.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Looks like someone is a ladies man" Levi raised an eye brow.
Many wondered the same. Is Ash a player who fucks around with random girls? Though some, both males and females, were a little jealous at this that someone so young getting so many girls.
"Am I the only one who notices that Lady Xerneas is Trillions of years old?" Erwin thought knowing most of them were thinking about Ash's girl problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So if I am not dead. Then why am I here" Ash asked confused.
"When the Ultra Wormhole collapsed during your fight, it became a singularity of tremendous energy" Yveltal explained "The energy destroyed yours and Pikachu's body."
The Ultra Space is the centre of the Multiverse. A huge endless ocean from where infinite number of Universes, alternate realities and Dimensions emergy. It's a miracle, that the energy only destroyed Ash's body and not his soul.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Think of the Ultra Space as a huge body of Water while the Worlds are tiny drops of Water" Mew explained "That's how vast the Ultra Space is. It's is a gateway to different Worlds". Though she should have compared the Ultra Space to any ocean but she knows that most people here don't know what an Ocean is.
"A Gateway to different Worlds" Eren muttered, his lust for adventure to see the outside world resurfacing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But due to your unnaturally high amount of Aura, your soul and spiritual power is still intact. It is preventing your Soul from passing to the afterlife" Xerneas explained, obvious relief flooding her voice "Right now we are in a Limbo. A place between life and death".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He must be really powerful for his soul to survive that" Hange said.
"So afterlife is real" Erwin looked hopefully at Mew. If Afterlife is real that means that all the Soldiers who died under his command had a resting place.
"Yes it is" Mew nodded "At least in our World there are three afterlife".
"Three afterlifes?" Petra asked confused.
"Yes three" Mew nodded "The First is the Distortion World, also called Hell. This is where Sinners like Murdurers, Rapists or Slavers go"
"So hell is real, huh?" Levi mused wondering if he will end up there. He knows that he isn't a good person, especially when he was living under Mitras.
Reiner looked at Berthold a little pale. If Hell was real, both of them are surely going to end up there.
"Yes Hell is real" Mew continued "But only temporary. Think of it like a jail where prisoners are held for their crimes for only a time. But after the Sinners soul has been punished they would be reincarnated in the mortal World once again"
The others were surprised that Hell isn't eternal like the Religious pastors liked to blabber about, but only a temporary stay.
"Next is heaven. And as you all know, those who do good deeds will go there. There they will reap the benefits of their good deeds before being reincarnated" Mew explained "Of course the reincarnation can take place
thousands of years after their deaths, as most Souls are very reluctant to leave the pleasures of heaven".
"Of course" Jean muttered. Who would want to take birth and face hardships again, while you can always enjoy the beauty of heaven.
"Then there is The Hall of Origins:- The highest honour of someone can receive. This is the Hall of Gods" Mew explained with a smile "Here people who died defending innocents will go. Like Soldiers, Pregnant Women who died in Childbirth etc. This place is permanent but a soul can ask for a reincarnation."
The others were shocked by this.
"The highest honor belong to those who fight for innocents" Erwin felt his breathe hitch as a tension was lifted of his shoulders. His soldiers didn't die in vain after all.
The older Scouts too felt relieved that their Comrades are now in a better place. While the younger ones felt relieved, that if they die, it will not be the end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash was silent for a few moments before he asked "Don't tell me I will be stuck here for eternity".
"Of course not" Xerneas shook her head "Lady Ho-oH had already started on forging you a new body. However it is a delicate task, and we cannot break the natural order of the Universe. You know how grumpy my brother Zygarde can get whenever someone breaks the balance between life and death"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Zygarde is the God of Balance between life and death. He is the brother of Xerneas and Yveltal" Mew explained causing them to nod.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not when Zygarde is already cross with them after the fiasco that was the Kalos Crisis.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What happened in this Kalos?" Eren asked.
"The World almost went to hell because a Mad Man" Mew explained causing the others to look shocked "But Ash and some of his friends stopped that"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[How long will it take?] Pikachu asked nervously, causing Xerneas to look nervous.
"We don't know" The Goddess looked sheepish.
"That is why Lord Arceus has a solution" Yveltal said.
"What is it?" Ash asked eagerly, just wanting to get out of here.
"He will send you in a new Universe, until your body here is repaired" Yveltal answered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many smiled at this.
"So now he will be arriving in our World" Sasha looked giddy with excitement.
"You can't wait huh?" Ymir asked teasingly causing the hunter from Dauper to blush in embarrassment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"New Universe?" He tilted his head. He has been in different Universes before. The Cave of Mirrors and the Alternate Reality coming to his mind.
"Yes" The God nodded "Unfortunately he didn't specify in which One he is sending you. And there are infinite numbers of them. He only informed us that this Universe doesn't have any Pokemon in it"
[No Pokemon?!] Pikachu's ears dropped in depression. No Pokemon means no battles. And they don't know how long they will be there. Ash too looked disappointed but sighed in acceptance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well you will be having plenty of battles with Titans" Levi crossed his arms. He couldn't wait to see how this supposed Hero will fare against the Titans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well something is better than nothing" He smiled before bowing "Thanks for this you guys. I owe you two"
"Don't get used to it. We are only following Arceus's command" Yveltal grumbled narrowing his eyes at him "And remember you cannot escape me for eternity. One day you will die for real and then your soul will be mine".
With that final jab, the God of Death teleported away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He sounds like an obsessed angry lover" Annie said bluntly causing the others to laugh.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ignore him. He is obsessed with you" Xerneas scoffed at her brother before approaching Ash with a smile. She lovingly placed her hand on his cheek, smiling tenderly "Take care of yourself, okay" She said, a little worried.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many looked a little envious at that.
"What I wouldn't give to be in his place" Jean muttered causing Marco to Pat his friend's back in sympathy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You know I will. There is no need to worry" Ash pumped his fist.
"That's when I worry the most" She muttered and looked at Pikachu "Make sure he doesn't jump face first into danger". The Mouse Pokemon saluted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She trusts the pet more than the owner" Ymir chuckled "Makes you wonder who is the pet and who is owner".
"This boy sounds reckless" Erwin frowned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I will be fine" Ash muttered, causing the Goddess to smile. She leaned forward and placed a tender kiss on his lips, her hand lovingly caressing his cheek. After a few seconds, she broke the lip contact and stepped back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some looked away from the screen respectfully while others looked jealous.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"For good luck" She muttered, as Ash smiled.
"Goodbye" He managed to say before the boy and his Pokemon were engulfed in a White light and dissapered in a flash.
"Arceus watch over them" Xerneas prayed quitely, her eyed glazed, as she stared at the distance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Funny seeing a God praying" Petra looked amused as Armin closed the book.
"Finished" The blonde declared.
"So" Mew said "How did you like it?"
"Well its only the beginning" Levi shrugged.
"I am however exited for him to arrive in this world" Hange looked giddy "Imagine the possibilities".
"I am already imagining it" Petra said wryly.
"Well I want to see how he would fare against Titans" Erwin muttered before looking at the book "So who will read next?".
"I will" Sasha jumped and grabbed the book before anyone had a chance. There were some grumbling especially from Eren and Jean who both wanted to read.
But they all become silent as Sasha opened the next page and began reading.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And done! Hope you like this chapter and I have stayed true to the Characters because in the next chapter they will see Ash's combat prowess against the Titans.
If you liked this chapter don't forget to leave a comment because remember reviews are food for a writer's soul.
