Description Well, yes and no. When a greater legendary dies a lesser legendary must take its place, as they cannot be revived a second time. In the final battle with Shadogaire, a LOT of legendaries die, including Xerneas. In this particular case Suicune, having survived the conflict, will take Xerneas's place and will be given all of his powers, becoming the new life pokemon. This will lead to a combination of characteristics of the two in appearance, leaning more towards Xerneas who was lost.

In this case it was a perfect fit, but in most of the cases it will be a bit more difficult to replace them, as many of the lesser legendaries will die themselves. Complicating the matters further is the fact that many of the legendaries will turn on their brethren and join Shadogaire in the final battle, becoming shadow types. They will then die if Shadogaire is destroyed, as all shadow types are bound to him.

I'm currently working out which legendaries will live and which won't, but for sure the Tao Trio and Yveltal will perish and will be replaced by the Legendary Birds and Pterror respectively. Scruel will betray his fellow legendaries and join Shadogaire, and will actually be the one to convince the other betrayers to join.

I think a few points need to be made about legendaries in general to get a better idea of why this is so important (Remember, this is just my view/how it will work in my canon, it doesn't necessarily reflect everyone's view)
Aside from Deoxys, Shaymin, and Alphasect, there is only ONE of each legendary. This includes Lugia, Mewtwo, Mew, and Genesect. The "baby Lugia" thing was a misinterpretation of the legends claiming there were more than one Lugias (which in reality was talking about Lugia and Shadogaire). The female Mewtwo arose from the fact that there was reportedly a female Mew clone created, but no one knew what she looked like, so they assumed it was another Mewtwo. In reality this was Kittwo, created by Team Galactic, not Plasma (Team Plasma only created Genesect, and only one Genesect, not five). Mew was originally thought to be a distinct species when first described, and was originally theorized to be the ancestor of all pokemon due to the fact it could supposedly learn all moves. This theory was quickly thrown out, although it stuck with the public for quite some time (and still does in some areas). Genetic analysis of DNA recovered from the clone race quickly debunked the myth (Like all legendaries, Mew's DNA has twelve base pairs, as opposed to the eight base pairs seen in non legendaries and four seen in tetrahelix lifeforms). It is now thought that pokemon arose from a pokemon very similar to Ditto, which is actually the oldest known non-legendary pokemon (not a failed clone). The Genesect misconception arose from the fact that the scientist planned on making five, but was intersected by Mewtwo before he could (which led to the movie Genesect and the Legend Awakened, which was inspired by the events/reports). As for the four mentioned above, there are exactly twelve Shaymins, four Deoxys[es?], and [currently] one Alphasect (there were more in the past, but they went extinct. The current Alphasect is genetically distinct now though due to its now legendary/mythical status given to it by Arceus for his bravery in the first war with Shadogaire).
As mentioned above, legendaries and non-legendaries are genetically distinct. Legendaries did not evolve from non-legendaries, and have been around since the dawn of time. This immortality in turn prevents any possibility of them evolving.
All legendaries are actually a tight nit family, and are very close to one another (or at least the non shadow typed ones. The shadow legendaries fell to darkness and were cast from the family). Actual conflict is very rare between them, and when it does occur only lasts for a very brief time. 
In almost every case, the events of the movies, while often inspired by true events, never happened. That would be like us stating that the events of Sherlock Holmes or Jurrassic Park actually happened. In the pokemon realm at least no one actually takes them seriously.
In regards to the tight nitness of the legendaries, the only legendaries who are truly evil are the Shadow type legendaries, although Slendetuo's alliance is often debated (as is his status as a pokemon. When in different realms, he manifests as different things, such as the Slenderman phenomenon in our realm). This means that Giratina, Darkrai, Yveltal, and Omentias are actually not evil. Now, there WILL be many betrayals in the final battle, but at this point none of the pokemon who will betray their fellow legendaries are necessarily evil.

So yeah, I guess it could count as a fusion depending on your definition of one. For me it doesn't count, as while the powers are given to the lesser legendary, they don't actually merge with the legendary they are replacing. But like I said, opinions may vary. I'm not sure if I'm actually going to do any sugi work with these, as none of them would appear in the game (the "final" battle take place long, long after the events of Galena). Maybe in the future, but not now.

possibly, but it probably wouldn't go further than a concept layout

I'll definitely be making concept art for the other legendary "pass-downs", although I still have to figure out who's going to bite it and who will live (and who would fit what role best). 

Thank you!

Well, it's not so much as just fusing legendaries willy nilly as it is trying to find the best fit legendaries to fill the role of a lost major legendary. Deciding which legendaries die and which live will also be difficult. I might end up deciding with a coin toss to keep it random.
