TICKET TO HELL: MILLENNIAL CREATION MYTHS: POKEMON THE MOVIE: ZOROARK, MASTER OF ILLUSIONS, PART 3: THE FINALE!

(This is the final chapter to the Heavenscar storyline, as such, It's jammed packed with Story Elements, So If want to skip to the review It's the text below the line of asterisks)

Inside Eamonn's mind his uncorrupted consciousnesses, Nose Grindstone, and Daryl surrounded the flames that was Rage's hold on Eamonn's Body. On the outside, our hero was flying around, mutated by the embodiment of Rage, to a form he was familiar with, The Lord Of Flies. Driven mad Eamonn was destroying the Flying City he abruptly created to be a stop gap for a tear in existence! But there was another who was involved in the destruction of The Original Rage...The one who dealt the blow to the Wicked Child, Edwin Tantalus...The Time Displaced Eighties Lad!
Fearing that the enemies they were facing were getting more stronger every time, and frustrated with Eamonn Showing Mercy, he killed Raged by wiping it's Memory with the Charon and Gaia Bracelets (Read The reviews marked The Thief of Boredom)
In the end Edwin was also possessed but his personality changed to a ruthless schemer. We start the story inside the mind of Eamonn, a losing battle in all fronts!

Whaddya mean dere's a second Rage?
It's Eighties Lad, he was there! He Dealt the blow! It's blowback must have lodged into his body like it did to my arm. It's Small, or at least, it was small enough not to takeover right away, That's why Rage would scream unwhole, Edwin is the missing Piece!
-So you know Edwin is the other guy, what now?
-Well have no choice, i guess this world has finally got to me! I tried to purge all the negativity away for so long that i literally made myself a cocoon to warp me into an animal! I guess the world Doesn't need another coward who hides away from the sadness, I guess My only way out is to give in! What else to do? The world has always being made of 2 kinds of People. Villains, and Victims. It's a society that cannot be broken. I cannot remember the last time i had hope For Humanity!
-Wrong, You Used Black Holes and light Refraction to Spell The Word Across the sky!
-How did know that?
-Yeah, 'Ow DIDYA know that, Daryl-Lad? Yer a Lost Memory, You can't 'av Memories of yer ownnnnNONONONONONO! Really all dis time?

(Daryl's 2d Humoniod appearance started to change. The tall Slender featureless shadow morphed into the outline of a 5'3, Bulky, Round-headed shadow. The lost Memory was Eamonn's Memories of his Previous Heroic acts!)

You may think you don't need me, But I can take it as good as you can give it!
(And it happened! Eamonn's consciousness fought with Daryl, now revealed to be Eamonn's lost memories of his compassion and humanity, He had being feeling doubtful about defeating rage last year so when briefly, for one moment, he forgot himself! and it was enough for Daryl to be created by him leaving the Train of Thought! For Hours they Fought, matching blow for blow, actually Eamonn being the aggressor, couldn't launch a single blow on his Humanity, Something that confused him since his Humanity though shaped like him was the same 2 dimensional shadow he was when he was simply Daryl. In Desperation he planned to end it all! He was going to wield the Dimension shattering Punch at His own Humanity! This Weak existence that only held uS ("Us? Don't I mean "Me"?) I mean Who is tHIS mISERABLE wORM Think he's Fooling (What is going on?) he has another thing come iF hE cAN dENY mY rULE! (STOP IT! STOP IT NOW!)
sTOP iT! sTOP iT nOW!

(Oracle looked up at Eamonn's Possesed from as it stopped it's Onslaught and clutched his head it's 2 mis-matched Arms!
(Eamonn's consciousness had already triggered the Dimension shattering Punch! his Right Arm already surging into a microcosm of Matter and Antimatter he instead of striking Daryl struck the flame was Rage's Grip on to his mind, GET OUT OF MY HEAD! He screamed as the Pyre Illuminated the Head shaped Chamber around him, the light purging all 3 men and those around them.

Grindstone was the 1st Materialized landing near the corpse of Barnum, seeing his death Mask as the 1st thing since his capture made him jump into the arm of Edwin. Seeing a new captor the Minor Cosmic Entity groaned in Newly Re-Established Defeat! Eamonn  Sputtered in this new Wasp like skin, He felt Powerful, but he now thanks to his Humanity rejoining him he felt In control not being Controlled, this power as the God Of Rage was not his to keep, as who would want that? Naturally their could only be one god of Rage, and he was sure it would not be him

Edwin looked at him, a smile broadened on his face, he took his glasses his coat and shirt off, leaving his undeveloped, body unclothed. his heart was a through-hole that was pussed filled and rotting yet alive! His uncovered eyes remained like pools of tv static now tearing like tribal tattoos down his face. He Lurched as his body continued it's transformation. Flies wings burst out made from the same Grey Tv Static. The changes were not as bizzarre as Eamonn's, but the hole where Edwin's Heart should be made up for it!)
"WELCOME EAMONN TO THE FINAL CHAPTER OF YOUR CREATION MYTH! THE FALL OF HEAVENSCAR AND THE DEMISE OF THIS UNIVERSE!
********************************************************************************

Assaulted by Codai, Celebi Forces a vision, Sensing anger The four other legendaries Destroy the airship, Only for the 3 Legendary Beasts to attack Zoruark.

Our heroes and the wild pokemon make the save for Celebi and Zorua. Zoroark is holding it's own against the 3 legendary beasts but it's a losing battle. Back in the florists, Celebi's wings is patched up but the Onion Fairy can't fly straight, this makes Zorua sad and the Little fox-cub has a crisis of confidence. As Joe and Tammy think of a way to convince the 3 beasts that Zoroark is not the enemy. Joe tells the heroes that their is one World cup clock that Grings did not check for a time ripple. the one that Tammy and Joe Worked on together, the one is Codai's own arena, the one that is not open to the public til tomorrow! But Codai had Bugged the shop and has learned everything!

Zoroark traps the 3 beasts in a Crystalline Illusion long enough for the Wild Pokemon in their protection to convince them of Zoroark's Betrayal as Ash and Codai race to stadium!

So let's finish this!
Arrives first but Codai uses his ghost pokemon to suspend Ash in the air. Codai touches the time ripple and has a big ol' gloat about it as the vegetation dies around him...EXCEPT IT'S AND ILLUSION! Zorua has bitten Codai's wrist previously and Bit down and destroyed his Illusion canceling fitbit! As he had let out his big speech Live on his own network, Codai is a wanted man has he runs up the arena steps, Zoroark casts an illusion, to make Codai believe he is on the top of his airship,  causing him to fall over in fright onto the grass on the pitch. Zoroark lies dying as that illusion drained the last of her life force. But Celebi does an Dues Ex Machina and revives her and so our film ends with Codai arrested, and at a port Ash, Dawn, Brock and Pikachu wave goodbye to Zorua and Zoroark as they return to the Unova Region. With Ash Acknowledging he will be going there soon!

And i'm sure no bullshit things will happen on his adventures like, say Pikachu losing it's powers, meeting annoying companions that speaks in Food analogies and calls you a kid every five seconds, a pokemon that is just a floating ice-cream cone with a face and a Much Serious Team Rocket Arc that goes nowhere because a earthquake happened in real-life!

ANYWAY, THIS FILM DESPITE IT'S CONVOLUTED VILLAIN PLAN IS NOT BAD!

The Much loved generation 4 bows out to the Divided Generation 5, with reveal of it's first Legendary the very interesting Zorouark Line. Zorua is Cute as a button, and endearing, you just want to hug it! As ridiculous as Codai's plan is, as least it's explained in a way that noone is lost! The animation quality from the last film is the same, nothing really stands out it that regard. In all not bad, but not impressive!

(Seething anger and hatred for each other, the 2 Rage-Possessed former heroes stood as the world started to convulse around them. Eamonn had regained his Humanity so he was in control of his powers as Edwin was simply a puppet! Heavenscar was no more than debris from countless different earths some floating towards the tear in the universe to be dissolved by anti-matter, some falling to Earth 1 below, what mattered was that Earth would be destroyed and re-started by the revived Comsmic Entities and their Game-They viewed Humanity and existence as a source of entertainment!- Eamonn threw the first blow. Edwin simply stood and no-selled. He smiled and blasted him with His Knife-Gun! Eamonn Reared Back into Oracle as Liquid Metal on his Abdomen Started to Congeal into Solid Stainless Steel that would settle into a Inward pointing motion. He screamed in Anguish as this started to happen, Oracle rushed over and pulled on the liquid as it froze into a solid form, Causing some Pain for Eamonn. He Murmured something, possibly a thank you before a hand gripped his head and jerked him standing up.
And what is this? Does my Doll no longer want to play?
-Fuck you, Edwin!
-Don't you worry, you are nothing special! Only a Girl who got caught up in everything we did and only stayed because her own life was no unfulfilling! You were a good Doll to play with, Oracle! You will end up like the rest of Humanity! a Broken Plaything until we decide to fix you in the new Reality!
...hehehehe
And What is so Funny?
You would thing that all the years Fighting one Dimensional Evils with me for years, that you wouldn't fall into the same mistakes they would. You were so caught up with your big plan of removing all of my allies so you could siphon off your Rage, you Didn't Think of any small Changes?
Such as...?
Did you not Notice that Oracle, who through you sharing the DNA of the earth 2 Edwin, Didn't CALL YOU MASTER?
(Edwin's Eyes Widened, He didn't Notice! but why did he bring it up now?)
And what is the one thing that Earth 1, Earth 3, Earth 9 AND all the Earths that had Representatives had that Earth 2, which Did have any parts stolen to make Heavenscar had!
....Champions
That's Right and when i was just speaking to Oracle just now i gave her something, just in case i happen to rip Reality and Become a rage god with no memories of my past!
(Oracle stood up, clutching her Mechanical Implants on her face. The 2 men could feel the metamorphosis happening. she looked up hand still on the metal that framed her forehead and eyes-UNTIL SHE TORE IT OFF! underneath no blood just scarring that looked like Henna that glowed like the Satanic power in Eamonn and Yusef's fists! This was the gift-a contingency planto make sure that this game-This timeline still existed.

a Satanic Fist caught Edwin. Eamonn Grabbed him by the neck and raised him and started to siphon.

Eamonn no, What are you doing!
I'm Sorry I have no choice, Their will always be sadness, Rage, Grief. It's foolish to run from it!
-Let me Go!
-LET YOU GO? You wanted This! and now i should let you?
Let Me Go Edwin said again it was no longer said in Duress, but a sincere Plea
I see.

(Eamonn Dropped Edwin and Swung his Possessed Arm into the Hole Where Eightie's lad Heart used to Be! As Both Mutations Touch the power of rage flowed out of Eamonn's Arm and into Edwin, His Blood vessels now Visible with a Glowing Red Molten Iron.
Edwin Smiled and Reality Darkened around him

Thank You...
(KABOOM)
In the Blackness 2 ethereal Children saw a board game in the void with them. The Box Said "Reality"

TICKET TO HELL: MILLENNIAL CREATION MYTHS: ZOROARK, THE MASTER OF ILLUSIONS PART 2

MILLENIAL CREATION MYTHS: ILLUSIONS
(As the Rage-possessed Eamonn slowly Destroys The Floating City of Heavenscar, the last vestige that is stopping reality from collapsing onto itself, Oracle finds herself helpless, frozen in place via the protocols in her Cybernetics not to attack or harm her captor, the equally possessed Edwin Tantalus)

W-wwhat...are you going to me?
-Oracle, Oracle, Oracle....Did you Honestly Believe that Would let you Join Eamonn's Council to Govern Heavenscar, without it being in my interests?
-No! I choose to come here, i was asked by Yusef...
-Oh Well, I had to give my Doll the choice to play her Part! But It's a good thing your meagre secretary role made you able to be front and centre to the everything, Eamonn being so distracted by my lie that the earth 5 humanoids where invaders, Oh I could hardly contain my host!
-How did you...
(Eighties Lad pointed to his 3d Glasses, these were not a hokey piece Paper and Plastic, these were mechanical, like something from a spy film.)
THESE GLASSES GET ALL THE CHANNELS, BEBE! He laughed in a voice similar to his old jovial self!...You see whether i told you or not, You were my eyes and ears. Look above you! 
mY pURPOSE iS a hUNGER! tHE cYCLE of bIRTH aND dEATH cONTAINS a vOID wITHIN! a vOID tHAT is UNWHOLE! mY mISSING pIECE! sURRENDER tO mE!

Eamonn is flying around as the Lord Of Flies Looking for me, Going Madder Every second! Yusef is Languishing in a Jail Cell and Eamonn made it easier by pushing away That Gun-Toting Cretin, Joe-Jack and the Council....
-NOT ALL OF THE COUNCIL!
-Lord Barnum, Please you don't know what you are doing...
-This is who we are afraid of? You look like you are twelve, is that allowed?
-Ohoo! look who came to play the hero, Are all the Eamonn from Alternate Universes Pre-Dispose to Meddle in Cosmic Affairs?
-BITE YOUR TONGUE, YOU INSOLENT BRAT! YOU SPEAK TO LORD OSIRIS BARNUM, MERCHANT LORD OF ALEXANDRIA, LORD OF THE PALE ONES! He boasted as he wielded his cane, an aura of perfumed Magics emitted from his swings!

AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!

After the Title Drop, Team Rocket follows our heroes in their Flying Machine, Zorua Drops from the sky-plane and cause them to crash, In case you can't tell, Team Rocket provide less and less as the film series goes on, only getting caught up in explosions resulting in Amusing Injuries after driving home exposition.

Saving Zoroa from Falling Off a Cliff, Zoroa Reveals to his saviors, our heroes, that it can speak viva Telepathy, despite being voiced by the same actress as Shaymin, Zoroa is not Whiny and takes up the offer of help from Ash and co to find it's Mother (referred to as "Me-Ma"). I love the fact they Put in a Delayed Reaction to Zorua's Ability to Speak, Mind you Realizing a Pokemon can speak to ask for your help in a world-Altering Quest is just a Day in the Life of Ash Ketchum, The Chosen One!

With the cliff overlooking Crown City, Our Heroes walk through til next morning, Codai's plane lands and using a hologram Blackmails Zoroark to cause Fear and Damage on Crown City!

In Crown City, Celebi, a fairy who uses Time Travel and Temporal Energy to Restore the Balance of Nature, has returned after 20 years, this news makes A Florist called Tammy, and an Electrician named Joe, so happy . Zoroark attacks  Crown City under the guise of the Legendary Beasts as Codai's News Network (BECAUSE OF COURSE HE OWNS HIS OWN NEWS NETWORK, BECAUSE HE'S EVIL!) Film's the Destruction.

Still have no idea what he plans to gain by having a shapeshifter pose as HIS Pokemon, given he owns the only one of each in his universe.

Or Does He?
As Sensing the Danger, another version of the Legendary Beasts Run into Battle. As Codai "apologizes" and reassures Crown City to recapture the legendaries and their evil "Controller" Zoroark!

So This is a plan to capture Celebi (with the Capture of the REAL! legendary Beasts just Fortuitous Circumstance, as his own? Holograms...so how are they able to kick a ball in a soccer Tournament) Codai can have Visions (No doubt the reason behind his wealth and News Network ) But they cause physical Pain and his powers slowly fading, He envisions our heroes and 2 others  trying to stop him.

Our Heroes Meet The Grandson of Joe and Tammy, Karl, a Journalist. He has being trying investigate Kodai, who indeed has used ESP to play the stock market!

Sneaking into the Abandoned Old Town, The Evil Media Mogul of Evil had a Vision of A Time Ripple beside a World Cup Timer on grass...Except there are 20 of them!

Our Heroes follow Zoroark's Scent to a Statue, one that was shown to be destroyed on the news. Our Heroes are shocked that a Millionaire would use his Money and Influence to lie to the public!

The sad thing is, I can't make a joke about that anymore!

Zorua is captured by a 3rd party but it's only Karl's Grandparents, Joe and Tammy. Joe exposists the events of 20 years ago today...But instead Zorua runs into a park to find it's mother, only for the other pokemon there to attack it out of anger. Until Celebi arrives and distracts them with food. With the Onion Fairy on side, Pikachu, Piplup and Zorua go to find our heroes after they get Captured.

Arriving at the Sacred Tree, Zorua howls for Mee-Ma, Sensing her whelp, Zoroark tries escaping her Cage. Celebi Magics up some grass so the fox pup can sleep!

In Codai's Airship, his Secretary, Rowena, Hacks his Desktop to uncover files of Ancient Prophecies (It would be funny to see if one or two were the then 12 Ash was front and centre to?) Turns out as she frees our heroes, that Rowena is a reporter too, as finally exposists the full story!

20 years ago, Codai gained the powers of Visions by touching a time ripple, a hole in space/time that celebi uses to travel. upon touching it, Codai gained power but at the cost of plant Life. However Codai's Power is fading, his over-complicated  plan to use holograms and Zoroark to pose as Soccer Playing Doggo Gods, means he will capture Celebi and the Real Legendary Beast Trio in one fell swoop! Codai has a vision of him choking Celebi like a bitch and drinking that Time Vision Juice at Source!
END OF PART 2
AND NOW A CONTINUATION OF TICKET TO HELL
(Despite His Magics, Barnum was knocked down by The Possessed Edwin. His problem was his Magic was too Specific, Given he was from a world where Ancient Egyptians continued to the Modern Age, Due to Magic existing, Barnum could only have command of magics of the god who shared his name. His stature meant he will be named after King of Gods...But it meant Barnum powers gave him Powers over...Vegetation! Good for a Dessert Trader, Terrible fighting a fire-Wielder!)
(Edwin walked over to prone Lord, and propped him to his feet by his neck, his gloved hands stronger than Barnum anticipated)
So Osiris, I want your last breath of this Earth, on any Earth, used to appreciate the Irony
-And what would that be?
-Why, that you are named after the first Mummy! 
(CRACK! all Oracle could do was scream as Edwin effortlessly twisted Barnum's neck!)
...And your Death will be followed by a Rebirth!
YOU WERE A MAN WITH A NAME TAKEN AFTER A GOD, WHILE I AM A GOD WHO TOOK THE BODY OF A MAN!

 COME MY DEAR ORACLE! SOON THIS WORLD WILL BURN TO PURIFY IT'S DECADENT SINS AND WILL WATCH IT BURN!

THE EXCITING CONCLUSION TO THE HEAVENSCAR SAGA WILL APPEAR SOON! ONLY ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE!

TICKET TO HELL: MILLENNIAL CREATION MYTHS: ZOROARK, MASTER OF ILLUSIONS: PART 1

(ORACLE'S MONOLOGUE IN RED)

So, this is how I end my life.
Not dying in Battle, but Paralyzed in Fear. 
Not the first time though, When I was Freed From Master Control's hivemind when i was sent from Earth 2 to Earth 3 as an invasion force, I was thrown from one army to another.

However, i had lost so much of my Humanity, my true self locked away in the vault of my own mind. 
It took being the assistant of a Thief to loosen up!

But Learning of my Past only made the Memories of what was done to me by Tantalos Corp, more Lucid and only strengthened my Guilt. Sure, All of Earth 2's Human Life were still Cyborgs, and society returned, and in a show of our regained Humanity, Master Control was Jailed for life, as she too became Human, and will die some day.

But It Didn't solve my suffering. I had the Worst PTSD, I was made into Frontline Infinity and an Invasion Force, I was made still and emotionless, In a wide-eyed false sleep, feeling every poke and Prod and cybernetic "Improvement" and experimentation, as they filled my implant with Knowledge i would never seek out, Weapons tech, Unarmed Combat, Military History...and i remember every time i used that Knowledge in practice! If my Human Sensibilities were not Turn off, I would have vomited long ago!

Now I stand in front of Earth 1's version of Edwin Tantalos, corrupted by a Fragment of the Embodiment of Rage after he destroyed the last one, My Circuitry Refusing to engage as the implant's programming ensured failsafe meant not a hair could be touched on his now smug looking head! 

AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!

So the wait has being long, but finally the last chapter of the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Steelbook is here, so let's get it!

So because they kept churning films out at pace, and Gen 4's animation style was rough due to budget cuts, even the more Polished films are hit as we have the intro from the last film.

In the first scene of original animation, In a Pokemon stadium, our heroes, Ash (THE CH-CH-CH-CHOSEN ONE WHO MET HIS WORLD'S GOD LAST FILM!) Brock and Dawn watching a weird Pokemon soccer-centric Sport on tv.

POKEMON IN A SOCCER STADIUM? PFFT! LIKE THAT WOULD HAPPEN! GIANT POKEMON IN A SOCCER STADIUM, THOUGH...

So Team Rocket, up to no good, sneak up to Brock, Mr Exposition Himself, explains that this is "Boccer" a brand new sport and the World cup finals Is in Crown City Tomorrow, and our heroes have tickets to it. One of the teams, Managed by a Suited Man (Who is Certainly NOT A VILLIAN(!)) Called Grings Codai, Who like that Son of A Bitch, Tobias, Only wins because his Whole team are Legendaries!

Backstory!
In Generation 2-The games Gold and Silver, we had the legendary Beasts, 3 Reborn Pokemon Who lived in The Brass Tower, A building that was Set Ablaze after being Struck by Lightning and the fire extinguished by Heavy Rains. The 3 residents died until the Phoenix Pokemon, Ho-Oh (no laughing at the back of the class!) Revived them into Canine forms that represent the unbridled Power of a Storm.
Image result for raikou Image result for suicune Image result for entei
Raikou's Roars can whip up lightning strikes, even at their Quietest, Suicune's presence Purifies Water, and Entai's Species is born every time a volcano Erupts...and this idiot is using them to play soccer?

Naturally Ash is so excited!
"I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE RAIKOU, SUICUNE AND ENTEI TOMORROW!"
-"Well except Entei, he can go fuck myself for kidnapping my Mother in the 3rd film so he can play happy families with the girl he was raising, who he also kidnapped!"

We cut to a Giant Bi-Plane and sure enough, Codai is Evil and is using his team to attack a Kidnapped and Previously Sedated Zoroark, and it's whelp Zorua!
Image result for zoroark
"IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME AT FURRY DICK CONVENTION?"
BACKSTORY!
Technically, Zoroark is a Generation 5 Pokemon, who existence in this film is hype for Then Incoming Black and White Games, Who could only be obtained by Owning the 3 legendary's I just mentioned and who will make an appearance!

Based on the Kitsune, A Japanese Fox-creature that Protects Itself with Illusions, It also can shapeshift to play tricks and Punish Trespassers. In game, Zoroark can take the form of another Provided it's Health bar is more than half!

Protecting her Pup, Zoroark attack by taking the form of Raikou and causing a thunderstorm, but Codai is wearing a fitbit, he calls An Illusion Canceller. Zorua Escapes and it has the same Illusion Powers, but it's a baby, so it has a tell, Dog Teeth and Tail and a Distinctive Laugh. Codai is pissed as he needs to finds it before the next "Time Ripple", just as the current ripple opens up and Celebi appears, more on her later!

THE STORY HAS BARELY STARTED AND IT'S A KILLER!
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IS ORACLE ALL ALONG TO FACE EDWIN BY HERSELF? WHERE ARE THE OTHERS? AND IF EAMONN COULD ARRIVE? WHAT SIDE IS HE ON? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE!
