Nixullium woke with a start, pain riddling his body. His eye opened to pure blackness.

'Where am I?!' he looked around, pain hitting his neck. He looked down to his body. Crystals covered his body, mostly his elbows and shoulders. Six went down his spine, pointing outward. They were a dark purple color, letting out a darker glow. He lifted his hand to rub the spike, but stopped at the heavy weight on it. On his left hand was a rusted gauntlet with a gemstone, purple-ish pink in the shape of mew's skull. Nixullium grabbed the gauntlet and tried to rip it off, but he felt pain.

"It's like i'm ripping my own skin off!" a pulse from his crystals notified him of a presence. Looking to his right, he saw a crystalline creature.

"Diancie?" Nixullium asked in confusion. Wasn't she in the hall? Why is she in this.. Void place? She looked him over in confusion. She tapped the crystals on his body, causing him to shout in pain. Diancie recoiled out of surprise. The crystals started to retreat into his body, making him yell out in pain. The only crystals left were the ones on his elbows, shoulders, and back. The gauntlet was still there. Diancie reached out to him, with a curious face, and poked his nose. His eyes went crossed to look at her small finger.

'Ok, that's kinda cute.' He thought. Diancie giggled a bit at his face. Then, she noticed something. Gasping, she fled backwards. "What? Do i have something on my face?" he said pointing to his face. Diancie levitated backwards in fear.

"T-th-the virus! Your infected!" she stuttered in fear. Nixullium raised a brow.

"Virus? What virus?" he said, confusion eminent.

"The rapid forced evolutionary virus!" Nixullium's eyebrow made like NASA and went up.

"... what?" Diancie slowly levitated towards him, and cautiously read his aura. It was surprisingly calm, but a unnatural red. She slowly approached him. Nixullium slowed his breathing, as she placed her hand over his heart. A pulse of purplish pink energy came out of her hand, and into Nixullium.

"Diancie, what are y-" Before Nixullium could finish, he fell to the ground, unconscious, with pink energy entering his aura.
