Lugia was flying high in the sky, doing his first search round of the evening.
Lugia – " Sigh* it is been three years…, three years and still nothing, not a single sign, not a single clue of where to find him or her. ''
He flew along the Tower Bridge, and decided to take a break on one of the walk bridges between the towers.
Three years ago Lugia got the first sign of where the four Lugia defenders should be, it was a strange feeling that brought him to London. Since then, he stayed in the city, waiting for another sign so that he will finally be able to track the precise location down. But so far, he's never gotten a single one. Thanks to all this, Lugia feels a little bit down for some reason. He does not know why and he does not care. Quickly he feels way better.
Lugia –" I just don't get it, the other three were so easy. I just don't know why this is so much more difficult. And my good friend Shade is not even here now, he had things to do at home. Maybe he still had some good ideas. ''
Lugia looked at the city below him. All those little lights made the view so beautiful. Even the full moon was bright enough to see clearly in the water. Lugia sighs with a smile on his face.
Lugia – " Seeing the city like this is one thing that never gets old for me. But I know that it won't stay that way for long this time. ''
Lugia looked at the sky. He saw the sky slowly fill with storm clouds. He can hear it rumbling in the sky.
Lugia – " I can better take a little nap. ''
Soon after Lugia fell asleep, he wakes up again thanks to a strange sound. He opened his eyes, and twitched his ears to listen closely to the noise. Before Lugia could guess what it could be, a small zeppelin flew under the walk bridges. He even got a little scared from it.
Lugia – " Ha, wow the people here always come up with some new toys, they made even a working little zeppel… ''
Before he could finish his sentence, something else flew past.
Lugia – " Wha what… balloons? Wait just a minute are those mice? Those are no toys. But, how did they do that? ''
Lugia shakes his head.
Lugia – " Why am I even trying to figure it out? This isn't important. I need to rest. ''
Lugia went back to sleep, but quickly wakes up again. This time it wasn't a noise, it was pain. It felt like someone pinched him.
Lugia – " Ouch! ''
Lugia – " What…oww, was that all about? ''
He looks around to find the source, but he found nothing. It also began to rain.
Lugia –" Wait!? Can it be…? Alright, where was it coming from!?
He looks around some more, and gasped.
Lugia –" Come on, come on just one more…GRAAAAAaww! Oh owwww! ''
It felt like he got scratched on his back, but there was nothing there. It seemed that it came from Big Ben. Without any doubt he flew to the big clock tower. The feeling became stronger and stronger. Then the clock strikes ten. Lugia just ignored the sound and flies higher and higher. Until…
Lugia –" GGGRRAAAaawwww! ''
Something fell on his wing, something with sharp claws that cut into his skin. He couldn't even fly properly any more. Lugia opened his eyes and looked at his wing. He looked straight into two yellow and red eyes who looked very angry at him. The claws cutting even deeper into his skin. Lugia dropped his ears and closed his eyes.
Lugia –" Get off! ''
He tried to stay in the air. But he couldn't even feel his wing anymore. Lugia realized he couldn't keep flying and fell down. When he hit the ground, Lugia fell exactly on his already injured wing.
Lugia was lying down quietly on the street. After a while he gasped hard, and tried to open his eyes.
Lugia-" I…I failed. ''
With a feeling of guilt and the overwhelming pain. Lugia closed his eyes and passed out.
The only thing Lugia could hear was this evil laugh that haunted through his head.
