Nightmare Fuel / ky-nim's Nuzlocke Runs

• The vision Skyla's fiancee gets when she touches Nina, displays a Hydreigon wrapped around her. Nina looks absolutely broken, and the scene is drawn with a creepy Art Shift. What is worse is that anyone who has played Black and White knows who the dragon belongs to and knows what it can do. It makes it rather horrifying to wonder how it will play out.
• Speaking of Ghetsis' Hydreigon, the opening scene of this comic features Ghetsis feeding it...something. We never see what it is, but the shape of its silhouette and Zinzolin's expression as he watches it eat heavily imply that it's a human corpse. Additionally, the way Ghetsis talks to Zinzolin while he's feeding the dragon further implies that it's the corpse of a Team Plasma grunt who "upset" Ghetsis.
• The Iccirus and Dragonspiral Tower arc is rendered much more unnerving than canon:
  • Two members of the Shadow Triad ambush Nina and her friends after her gym battle, while Brycen suddenly appears to have a Ditto melting from his skin. It turns out that "Brycen" is actually the third member of the Shadow Triad, and was using the Ditto to disguise themself as the Gym leader. Cedric Juniper understandably demands to know where the real Brycen is.
  • As per canon, the Shadow Triad is there to get Nina to go to Dragonspiral Tower. When she refuses, the member who was impersonating Brycen reveals he took Andy's Poke Ball without Nina noticing and threatens to harm the Galvantula to get Nina to cooperate.
  • Prior to Nina's battle at the Iccirus Gym, Ghetsis and a member of the Shadow Triad have a discussion that contains a flashback to the Triad looming over a bloodied arm. The significance of this is explained in the aftermath of the events at Dragonspiral Tower. Iccirus Gym is being investigated as a crime scene; as Looker explains to Cedric that they found Brycen's body underneath the gym's battlefield and they think he's been dead for a few days, the panel of the arm makes a reappearance. Nina's Curb-Stomp Battle against the imposter Brycen took place directly above the remains of the real one, and she had no idea.
• The battle with N has begun and already things are going from bad to worse—Laila takes down Carracosta with one Petal Dance but Archeops resists it and swoops down on her. Zach jumps in to protect her, which leads to him losing an eye when his armor ricochets off of his flipper and hits his face, before wiping his attacker out with Surf. When Laila panics over what Zach did, Zach gives a rousing speech about how he doesn't want anything bad to happen to any of his teammates again...and as he does so, N's Klinklang is looming ominously behind him and charging up an electric attack... Thank Arceus Jojo appeared when she did or he'd have been a goner.
• Right when it seems things are wrapping up nicely, Ghetsis' Hydreigon attacks Zekrom from offscreen.
• The battle with Ghetsis. How so? Let us count the ways:
  • First off, Ky-nim gives us a handy explanation as to why Alder and Cheren don't help the player character with battling Ghetsis—he has the Shadow Triad restrain them and threatens to KILL THEM if Nina backs out of the fight. He does the same to N too...yeah, let that sink in...
  • What does Ghetsis order his Pokemon to do to Nina's? "Destroy them."
  • Ghetsis' Cofagrigus is truly terrifying.
  • Nina's team manages to beat down Ghetsis' surprisingly easy...and then Hydreigon shows up. Andy in particular is truly terrified of the thing.
  • Rex and Andy's deaths at the hands of Ghetsis' Hydreigon, Asha. First, Rex slices one of the thing's heads off, only for said head to grow back in true Hydra fashion. Hydreigon promptly fires a Focus Blast at Rex so powerful that it blasts a hole into his stomach. Andy tries to fight back and is promptly reduced to a charred, unrecognizable corpse via Fire Blast—which the Hydreigon promptly crushes under its foot with a crazed look in its eye. We then get the results of Skyla's fiancee's vision...
    Asha: Tell me, child...are you afraid of death?
  • Nina leaps in to save Laila from Asha's Fire Blast, only to get burned in the process. Even worse, Laila reveals that she was facing him because she knew the attack would miss (due to having gaps in it—and she's right, if you look at her position and that of the Fire Blast, you'll see that, possible convection aside, she could easily have dodged the attack by ducking) and was planning to put Asha to sleep, meaning that Nina didn't have to do that at all.
  • Despite it being an awesome moment on his part, Zach killing Asha by chopping off all three of his heads in quick succession is kind of shocking—especially since this is likely the first time Zach (or ANYONE on Nina's team) has actually killed someone on purpose.
  • Nina collapsing from exhaustion at the end.
