New Beginning
Chapter 1
Fear and suffering. These were the only two emotions I could feel during the torture. We were locked into three machines. Each of us had our own one. The place was dark, scary, and had a hopeless atmosphere that made the lab even creepier. How could we have ended up here?
The humans slowly extracted out our essences through our crystals. We were granted a few breaks to help us recover, just so they could take it again, and again... giving us sharp pain every time and such agony that I can't explain with words. I heard my brother, Uxie scream and then another I realized came from me. My other brother Azelf however, didn't give out any sounds. I opened my eyes and looked right to check if he was fine or not, but I couldn't see anything from the tears. But I could hear only moans as he tried hold back his scream. I knew he didn't want to show those humans how he felt. Nor us, to show us we could handle it. He was so brave...
It took hours until they gave us a break and we finally could take a deep breath and recover. The pain wasn't gone, just eased somewhat. I felt so weak and tired...but also increasingly angry while I watched that human in the middle, smiling in satisfaction when one of scientist put a red long thing into his hands. I didn't needed to see it to know it was our power in physical form. I wanted to punch him on the face to erase that smile... Suddenly a retching sound broke my thoughts and I looked to the front. Uxie...are you alright? I asked in telepathy but I couldn't hear any answer back. I became worried and I would have asked it again, if another voice didn't stop me. * Don't worry about Uxie, he is strong. We are all strong. Everything will be fine okay? Hang on.* I turned right to see Azelf's hopeful face as looked at me giving a forced smile. He always tried to be confident to cheer us, but I could see through the mask. He was terribly afraid. I felt also pain, uncertainty and hatred towards that man who was now behind the computers. I knew Uxie's feeling was mutual as well. All of us felt the same, which didn't surprise me.
A few annoying hours passed in silence until the humans came back with another cube thing. I knew what was coming... "I see the lake trio are ready for the second chain Master Cyrus." Said the young blue haired boy to that crazy man, who nodded in agreement.
I watched with a shiver as the humans started activating the machine again and I hoped my friend Dawn would come in time before they could do this again...Please Dawn help us! I looked at the door, waiting. But she didn't came. Tears came into my eyes again. Where is she? Suddenly, a terrible pain much stronger than before, came so sudden that I forgot breathing and I felt my lungs crying for oxygen, but I couldn't give them any somehow... I felt they would take apart my body into pieces. I knew, I wasn't ready for this...As the torture continued, Slowly everything started darkening and the voices were getting quieter. I didn't feel anything anymore. The last thing I saw before I lost my consciousness, was Azelf's eyes, as his glowing gold crying eyes, stared into mine in fear. He moved his mouth like he cried something to me. But I couldn't hear it because suddenly, everything disappeared around me.
When I opened my eyes again, The first thing that I saw was light. After the days in the dark lab, the sudden light made me close my eyes again for a few minutes before I opened them agian. Now I could see a pink haired lady staring at me worriedly. Her presence let me know i wasn't in that lab anymore, and the pain was gone too. But, why did I feel something different? I felt...emptiness. The lady's sweet voice got my attention and I looked left. "I think she has recovered miss. You can take her back. See you later." The nurse said while she picked me up, and gave me to the only girl who I really could trust. Dawn.
She saved us! My brothers couldn't believe it but I knew it! I was so happy that I quickly hugged her, which made her surprised a bit, but she gave back the hug before she let go and looked at me, guilt and sadness in her eyes. I was wondering why she felt that, when I suddenly realized what that emptiness was. I couldn't feel them... I shook my head in panic, and went out from her arms, flying around the rooms nervously hoping they were here too just in different room, and possibly my sense was mistaken. When I arrived the last room, Dawn stepped in front of me so quickly that I almost bumped at her. She looked at me with empathy and sorrow. My mind knew what was coming next, but my heart couldn't accept it.
"Mesprit..." Dawn sad carefully. "I...I'm sorry I was late. Team Galactic held me back really well so when I finally could go into that lab, your siblings..." She paused. Avoided my eyes. She didn't know how to say it. A few minutes passed until she spoke out again. "They didn't move or give any reaction when I freed you three. I took all of you out from the machines, and checked all of your heartbeats. And..." She again paused, still looking down, her eyes in tears. "Only you survived it. I'm sorry...I am really sorry.." She fell on her knees and started crying while I just floated there in shock, my mind full with ton of questions.
They died. They left me alone. What was I suppose to do now? What would happen with the balance? Why had they died? Azelf said we were strong so why? Why was I the only one alive? Why was this happening? Was this a nightmare? I landed on the ground in front of the crying Dawn. I felt the world collapse around me.
