Here's the fourth chapter for my latest fan fiction starring the boys from my favourite boy bands McFly and Busted as their super group McBusted, Anakin Skywalker as portrayed by Hayden Christensen, my original character Dominic (make sure you have read his introductory story here) and a few Pokemon as guests (some of which have made their appearance from my other McBusted Pokémon Adventures stories or were featured in McBusted Adventures Legends of Seven Harmonies but canonially made their debut here).
It's set as a direct sequel for one of my other stories McBusted Meets Anakin Skywalkler: The Forces of Light that beats the Darkness (make sure you read that story) and taken place sometime before McBusted Adventures Legends of Seven Harmonies.

Having to become seperated from the McBusted boys, Dominic and Anakin became confronted by an alternative version of Dominic
Chapter 4 - Losing myself
When I came round, I found that I was with Anakin, separated from the McBusted boys. I worry for their safety, but it’s good that I have Anakin, who helped to lift me from the rubble. “You said that you’re a Psychokiener, yet you lacked confidence in yourself, didn’t you?” asked Anakin. I explained that I refrain from using my psychic powers on others out of fear of persecution, especially if I lose control and harm others. “You have seen what Lord Dimegulia has done with his psychic powers, haven’t you? I fear that he could set an example for us Psychokieneings with others labelling me as a monster that is no different to him,” I said sombrely.
Anakin understands my concerns, but we both knew that only I was holding myself back, as he said, “So what if anyone sees you as a monster? You and Lord Dimegulia are not the same. Only you can decide how you use your powers that you’re born with. You either live using them or die”. I looked at him with awe. Even with someone who has fallen to the dark side, I can learn a lot from him.
On that subject, Anakin added that facing his alternative self has made an impression on him, saying in a sombre tone, “To face myself from another timeline...it’s like confronting my inner demon, yet we are the same monsters who terrorised the galaxy.” I would imagine what he’s going through in his mind from that experience. “It seems that fate has a strange way of bestowing upon us. But maybe this could prove that you can get better from your darkness, showing that you can get stronger than your past,” I said with encouragement, helping to uplift him. Anakin gave me a small smile, saying, “I can see the hope in your eyes, just like with those McBusted guys”. I couldn’t help but give a warm smile back.
My psychic senses then detected something nearby. Anakin seemed to sense something, too, as we both cautiously looked around the area. I can sense a psychic energy that feels hostile yet familiar in some way. “Who goes there? Show yourself!” called Anakin. I wasn’t sure if this would be a wise idea, yet we had some form of response with pieces of debris aggressively tossed towards us. “...Stay away! Stay away!” cried the voice, and a shadowy blast was fired towards us. Anakin shielded me by countering the blast with his Darkness Blaster. With both moves collided, we both fell onto the floor.
When we stood back up, the next thing I saw was...me, but with a dark aura surrounding my other self. “Leave here at once!” cried my alternative self, whom I’ll refer to as Dark Dominic, who fired a shadowy, explosive version of my Psycho Spheres. I narrowly dodged it with Anakin deflecting one of them with his Lightsaber, saying, “Whoa! Woah! We mean no harm! I am you from another world! We do not wish to fight!” “I am a monster who has lost everything! I cannot contain myself!” yelled Dark Dominic in anguish, firing his shadowy version of my Psycho Beam. I can tell that Dark Dominic is in pain deep down. I don’t want to fight my alternative self, but it doesn’t look like we have no other choice if we want to help him.
Use this theme for the battle against Dark Dominic - I have been relating to it myself
Dark Dominic has psychic powers similar to mine, except that he fights more aggressively, including by tossing several large pieces of debris at us using his telekinesis. They were too fast for me to detect with my psychic sense, causing me to get hit by them. Anakin stood a better chance against them by swinging his Lightsaber to deflect the incoming objects, repel with his force or hold larger objects with his superhuman strength.
Anakin grabbed hold of Dark Dominic with his force and asked, “Now are you going to cooperate with us to reach you and settle things peacefully?” “Don’t...make me do this!” screamed Dark Dominic in agony and distressingly unleashed his shadowy Psychic Blast at Anakin, freeing him from his grip. Out of instinct, I helped out Anakin by using my Telekinesis Illusion on the debris and tossed them towards Dark Dominic, who dodged them by teleporting. “Please stop attacking us! We want to help you! Besides, I am you from another world!” I called him.
“It’s no use for you”, said Dark Dominic, who then fired his shadowy version of Psycho Beam, which took out the debris that I was carrying. I quickly fired my Psycho Beam to counter the move, but his Psycho Beam overpowered mine. Just before I got hit by the move, Anakin rushed in and redirected it with the palm of his hand.
Dark Dominic dodged the countered move and fired several shadowy Psycho Spheres towards us. I attempted to counter them with my Psycho Spheres, but I either kept missing them or my Psycho Spheres were taken out by his. This was in contrast to Anakin, who deflected them with his Lightsaber. The Psycho Spheres then surrounded me, and I got hit by them before I could react. Was I still holding back?
While I was down, Dark Dominic grabbed several pieces of debris and used his telekinesis to combine them into a large ball and said, “It’s too late for me, and you’ll only end up suffering as I have!” and tossed the large ball at me.
Just as I got hit by the huge ball, Anakin helped out by grabbing me and repelling the debris with his force. He then took on Dark Dominic himself by charging in using Lightspeed Dash, intercepting his attacks with his force lighting Although he put up a good fight, Dark Dominic was still able to overpower Anakin by using his telekinesis on several objects and tossing them like meteors that fall towards the sky near Anakin’s feet, tripping him over (which I admit that it’s smart of him) and grabbing him with his telekinesis and slamming him onto the ground (something of which I wouldn’t do).
I watched Dark Dominic in awe. Could this be me if I’ve lost control of my psychic powers? Could this really show that Psychokieneings are dangerous to society and are better off hiding their psychic powers ?...No. I am not the same as Lord Dimegulia or Dark Dominic, just like Anakin has said. It’s only me who is holding back. Only I get to decide how I use my powers and how I live my life, just like with my sexuality.
On that subject, I remembered the day when I met The McBusted boys, who stood up for me and accepted me as a gay fan. Which leads to now, when they have no problem with me as a Psychokieneing, wanting me to help them to master their psychic powers. I did say that I wanted to protect people so that they won’t go through the same loss as I have. Even if others see me as an outcast with my psychic powers, I won’t let that stop me from using my powers for good and shall set a good example.
Just as Dark Dominic was about to fire his Psycho Beam towards Anakin while he was down on the ground, I went over to him and intercepted his attack by unleashing my Psychic Blast; this time, it was at its full strength thanks to my resolve. “I’m sorry, but I can’t allow you to hurt my friend!” I said to him. From this point on, I was able to put up a better fight against Dark Dominic with my attacks executing successfully including my Psycho Spheres which I managed to land on Dark Dominic while countering his Psycho Spheres, using my telekinesis to lift the debris to shield against his attacks and stunning him with my Telekinesis Illusion which allowed Anakin to take him down using Force Breaker.
“See, the force is strong in you when you set your mind to it!” said Anakin, praising me. He’s right about that, and with my mind clear, I shall not hold back using my psychic powers, something of which I bet the McBusted boys would have wanted from me. I continued to help Anakin by firing my Psycho Beam to take out any falling piles of debris that Dark Dominic had tossed at us before they landed towards us and repelled his Psychic Spheres with my telekinesis, giving Anakin a clear opening to strike Dark Dominic, including by charging into him using Lightspeed Dash.
“Why do you keep persisting? Keep away from me!” cried Dark Dominic, who once again formed several large debris into a large ball with his telekinesis, tossing it at us. I wanted to help, but he has given us no choice, so I’ve fired my Star Force Shocker against the incoming ball, which shattered the debris, which also hits Dark Dominic. Anakin followed up the attack by firing his Twilight Spheres at him. In response, Dark Dominic unleashed his Psychic Blast. I’ve fired my own Psychic Blast. Both moves were equally strong, but with my determination to help out not just the McBusted boys and Anakin but also Dark Dominic himself, my Psychic Blast was able to overpower his, landing a direct hit.
In anguish, Dark Dominic is charging up with dark psychic energy as if he’s about to fire another Psychic Blast, but Anakin and I restrained him with our force and telekinesis. “It’s ok, we don’t have to be enemies. I am you, and you are me, and we can come to an understanding,” I said gently. “I’ve been through the dark side too, so you’re not alone”, added Anakin. That helped to calm down Dark Dominic as the dark psychic energy subsided. He is now willing to cooperate with us.
Use this theme for this section
Dark Dominic explained to us that he is just like me, being an outcast with his sexuality and as a Psychokieneing, except that he never got the chance to come out to anyone but the McBusted guys, who were the only ones that accepted his sexuality. Then one day, Lord Dimegulia entered their world and became a tyrannical ruler. Everyone tried to rebel against him, only to fail as he destroyed everything as punishment for not following him. That was when he last saw the McBusted boys, whom he got separated from after being covered under the rumbles. All of his other friends, the last remaining family and his Pokémon have all perished, too.
So as a result, Dark Dominic has no one to love and to accept him. On top of being burdened with the conflicts involving Pokémon and McBusted, his mind became filled with darkness and despair, causing Dark Dominic to lose control of his psychic powers, spending the rest of his days isolating himself. “So I am all alone with the monster taking everything from me, causing me to lose my very self”, said Dark Dominic grimly.
We both felt sorry for Dark Dominic. “I feel your pain, but I swear that we’ll be the ones to stop Lord Dimegulia, putting an end to his reign of terror for all the worlds he took”, I said. Dark Dominic then said to me, “Dominic, promise me not to hide yourself for who you are. You may never get to live the life you were meant to have or to be with those who’ll love and accept you for who you are.” I wholly agreed with him. For a long time, I’ve been hiding my sexuality (though I have been out to my friends and family a while back) and holding back using my psychic powers as a Psychokieneing, so I have to live my life by being myself.
Anakin sympathize with Dark Dominic, saying, “As I’ve said, I too fallen to the dark side, which was due to my fear of losing my loved one, only for me to be the cause of it”. He appeared to be sombre for a minute but he regained he composure and added “Still, it was a miracle that you were left alive so maybe this could be your chance to turn things around and get back at Lord Dimegulia, just like with me giving this chance to redeem myself.” “Yes, if you come with us, we can help you to defeat Lord Dimegulia and give your world back. That way, you won’t have to face the darkness alone” I said encouragingly. Dark Dominic gave us a small, warm smile, agreeing to comply with us.
Before we made our move, I sent out the Pokémon that belonged to the McBusted boys, who came out of their Pokéballs to help us to clear away the debris. They were worried about their master’s safety, but I reassured them that we would find them. I’ve also sent out my Sylveon, Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant which reminded me the bond and trust I have with them as I’ve raised and learned about them (also with the two Paradox Pokémon which I’ve caught in Area Zero while studying them, I recall that there were people who were uneasy about them because of their unnatural appearance and uncertain origins but I wanted to get to know them more to help to lessen the sigma).
I looked at the Pokémon that came from different regions, with each of them equally fascinating and amazing in its own way. I am always willing to find out more about them, including those that I have yet to discover, no matter what anyone says about them. Dark Dominic approached the Pokémon with a small smile, yet with a hint of sadness. I can tell that he is happy to see some living Pokémon, yet it reminds him of his own Pokémon that he lost. I’ve allowed him to be close to them as much as he wants. We then walked back to the way we fell, hoping to find the McBusted boys safe and sound.
