Once again the fools of the world made themselves known.
The Xatu flew on. He had no intention of ever returning to the foolish group of Pokemon. He did not care in the least for the foolish living whom would only become zombie food within minutes. Or at least maybe be infected. The avian felt his feathered fingertips move with the breeze and an irritation built up within him. He was to be in control always. How dare something like an invisible wind defy him? A slight pounding begand to thump on in the back of his head as he flicked the one wing in irritation. Using a weaker psychic to effectively straighten his dirty feathers. The bones from beneath poked up in places, long since dried blood poking through. The infection may have brought horrors to his body, but the Xatu only found himself enjoying it.
He would have traded his soul for more power to control. But then again, had he not already? The thought brought a lazy calmness to the duel type's eyes. His beak twitched ever so slightly in satisfaction. Power. He had plenty of it. But the sounds of batte from below distracted him. Stopping midair, the Xatu came to a complete hault midair. His streamline body turned ever so slightly, allowing him to regaurd the so called battle going on below. The almost nonexistant smirk melted away instantly, replacing his features with the usual cold speculating gaze. The other Pokemon, a Breloom, was fighting the undead on the beach. It was even holding it's own against them. Irritation began to unfold inside of him, right where his heart should have been.
Why were the undead so dammed weak? They were the superior race-- there should have been no issues with overwhelming a small and pitiful group of living like that. The Xatu ran his gaze over the body of the fallen Quilava. Even the Vaporeon and Golduck from earlier were gone. So why was the Breloom still keeping his own?! A hiss of hardly restrained anger came from the beak of the duel type, his pulsating crimson eyes intense as he stared at the stupid shroom. He would just have to intervene then. With no hesitation, the magenta glow around him actually disappeared. Dismissing the psychic energy the Harbinger always used for movement, the Xatu shot back towards the ground. With no hesitation, he reached the Breloom within seconds. The pitiful undead he had been fighting all schrried back in horror, their garggled sounds full of fear even to those who could not understand them. The Breloom was not one of them. The Xatu listened as he suddenly boasted, taunting the undead to return. The Harbinger's left eye twitched. He had dealt with enough of that.
"...fool." was all that he said. The Breloom immediately spun around, his eyes akin with shock and horror as the avian folded his wings against his body and met his eyes. The red eyes of the undead actually narrowed, showing a rare thread of emotion.
"...it was not you they were afraid of." The cry of horror from the grass type only confirmed the Xatu's resolve to take the kill. Shooting forward, the Harbinger took aim. With a well placed Peck, the mushroom cap of the Breloom was wretched off from his body. Gore and blood spilled onto the ground instantly, coating the grass type as he suddenly began screaming and flailing. The Xatu merely snapped the flesh in half, leisurely ingesting it as he watched his prey squirm. He had fallen to the ground, trying in vein to stop the pouring blood with his short arms. The Harbinger allowed the meat to revive him, bringing a strong light to his eyes.
The light of madness. At his own leisurely pace, the Xatu tore him apart and ate him, all using Psychic. First his arms, simply snapping from his body before being brought to the bird's beak. The flesh would stay midair while the duel type ate the meat at his own pace, almost like being served by invisible hands. Then his legs. Then his tail. Finally the blood was becoming too much-- the Breloom would die of bloodloss before the Harbinger could do a thing. So to finish him off, a bright glow came to the Harbinger's eyes. Almost instantly, the insides of his prey exploded, the organs and other gore shooting out of his body and covering the surrownding area. None of the undead dared to make a move, either. They knew this was the Xatu's kill.
He simply picked up the heart of the now dead Breloom. The Harbinger happily swallowed it whole before taking to the air again. It felt good to take the traditional route sometimes.
