Paladin smirked as the Fireblast hit, successfully burning her face and knocking the Sawsbuck to the ground. She laid there, twitching. The fire monkey was now screaming at him. "THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING PALADIN?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE?!" The Hydreigon roared back, body shaking lightly as he laughed. When he opened his mouth he found himself unable to speak, his words only contorted into garbled letters and gibberish.
"You infected too, aren't you Paladin." Instead of another attempt to speak, the two-headed dragon settled on shaking his main head, flinging drops of bloody salt water onto the ground. "Die..." the words came out as a snarl, grumbling out of his throat. In an instant his jaws opened with heat and fire as he lit the forests, along with any buildings surrounding him.
Prince watched with wide eyes. Was that really... Paladin? His best friend? His half-brother? The Fraxure's body began to shake in a mixture of fear and disgust. Just what exactly had the Hydreigon become? The young dragon all of his might to not drop down on his knees, and instead, rushed towards Pure. "Pure! Pure?! Answer me! Are you okay? Please don't die, please, please, please!" he panicked, eyes brimming with tears.
Suddenly the Wishmaker floated up beside him, gently whispering in his ear. "Prince, he's completely lost his mind, he's trying to kill everyone. You have to put him out of his misery, Fraxure." The dragon's eyes widened in horror at Jirachi's words. "No, n-no! I can't, that isn't Paladin! That isn't the dragon I used to know!" Prince cried, his arms gently wrapping around her body as he examined her face. "What do I do... What do I do?"
