Nero enter his new home, a den of relatively large size similar to Vernius's home with the built in stream and a large pokémon made bed on separate sides of the room. The only difference was the additional room which Nero took immediate note of before noticing Fiera relaxing on the bed and the absence of Kana.
(Kana's been acting strange all day. I'm fairly sure it has to do with the pokémon at least I hope that is the problem.) Nero thought as he passed Fiera to enter the next room.
As he entered the room he found Kana sitting on another one of the beds with a depressed look in her eyes. Nero immediately felt the need to discover what is wrong, but he didn't want to accidentally anger the girl by asking about things he has no right to.
Kana removed her gaze from the floor and looked up to find Nero had entered the room and was staring at her thoughtfully.
(Why the hell is he looking at me like that?) Kana thought as Nero walked to the side of the bed inspecting the room as he did until Kana broke the silence.
"Nero, why were you staring at me? Does it have anything to do with the conversation you had earlier?"
"Sort of" Nero answered while staring at the floor with a thoughtful expression.
"What do mean by sort of? I know the pack doesn't trust me or see me as useful. To them I'm a burden. I can feel it. I can see it when they look at me. It isn't my fault I can't understand them like you. If I could maybe I would at least know what the hell is going on. I might then be able to help." Kana clenched her fists as she spoke. Nero stared at her uncertain of what to say.
"So the expert doesn't know what to do?" Kana asked sarcastically. Nero immediately took offense to the mockery, but kept it hidden as he thought.
"First, you need to shut up and think before you speak." Nero snapped in return. Kana returned her gaze to the floor feeling more useless and isolated than before.
Suddenly Nero felt a strange, but yet all too familiar twinge of pain in his chest. (Again with these feelings where the hell do they keep coming from? I've insulted people before hell; I took fucking pleasure in it, when those assholes choose me to annoy, yet when I insult her… I feel… different. I've felt this before, but that was so long ago.)
Nero glanced over at Kana to see her staring at the floor again more depressed than before. (I guess I have to say something.)
"Kana I'm not mad at you, and no the conversations didn't have anything to do with you." Kana continued to stare at the floor almost as if she didn't hear him.
"I can tell you have been frustrated over being the only one who cannot understand any one. I may have a solution, but I cannot confirm the possibility of it yet." Kana locked eyes with Nero trying to figure out if she could believe him, if she could put any form of hope in herself without it being crushed.
"I…" Kana started, but stopped uncertain of what to say.
"I can't promise anything for now. So just relax, this room is yours I'll stay with Fiera in the other." Nero stated and started toward the doorway as Kana watched him go.
Speaking only when she thought Nero was far enough away, "Thank you Nero, but if I can't get over my fears anything you do will be in vain."
Nero glanced back over his shoulder at the doorway to Kana's room as he walked, while Kana's spoken thoughts reached his sensitive ears.
(Kana, if I can't break you of these fears, you can no longer travel with me, no matter what you may owe me.) Nero thought as a scowl replaced his emotionless mask.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
The dimly lit tunnels were silent, dark and still. Devoid of all life except the occasional nocturnal pack mate on their nightly patrol and the creeping shadows ever shifting with the torch's flame, an eternal dance between the light and the dark. A lone human walked through the tunnels standing tall as his position among the pack demands. Nero eyed every crack, corner, and possible hiding place as he went, always on guard, still suspicious of the pack's outlook on having a human leader. After awhile Nero found himself in the main cavern, the area as desolate as the tunnels except for a lone umbreon sentry making his way to the main entrance of the den to relieve the guard of his post.
The umbreon noticed movement along the edge of his sight and glanced over to investigate. Upon seeing his alpha roaming the caves alone the umbreon walked over to him.
"Alpha, is there a problem?" The nameless sentry asked concern in his voice, but his eyes betrayed his uncertainty. Nero examined the young umbreon.
"Yes" Nero responded crisply.
"What is it? Can I help?" The umbreon asked quickly.
"First, what is your name? Second, don't call me alpha, sir, or any term that would be given to someone of commanding authority. My name is Nero and you will refer to me by it. Am I clear?" Nero sternly ordered the youthful guard of his pack.
"Yes. I-I'm… Jett, sir um-Nero" The umbreon's stuttering revealed his rising fear.
Nero stared at the umbreon named Jett, examining the pokémon and studying his possible fighting ability and intelligence. Jett started to whither under Nero's glare his uncertainty slowly elevating into fear as he remembered what this human they call their alpha is capable of.
"Jett you have only recently come of age to join in the packs group of warriors, correct?"
"Yes…Nero" Jett slowly answered trying to keep from accidentally angering the alpha.
"Your composer gives you away and your tail is shaking." Nero informed the young warrior an amused grin briefly crossed his face before being replaced by the emotionless mask.
"Sorry, I know I'm an incompetent warrior. My fears get the better of me sometimes and I apologize for it." Jett confessed as his gaze shifted to the ground and his features saddened.
"Fears… Fears can disable you or motivate you. You must decide what you do with these fears. Will you fight to prevent them from coming true or are you going to let them kill you? If I attacked you right now would you defend yourself, strike back, or take it and hope I don't kill you?" Nero asked clenching his fists.
"I…I don't know." Jett answered shaking his head.
"Once you awake tomorrow night you will come to my den and we will resolve this. Until then report to your post and make sure you are well rested before we meet."
Jett brought his head up in surprise. Looking Nero in the eyes he responded,
"Yes, Nero." As soon as he was done the young umbreon turned and left to report to his post wandering how exactly Nero plans to resolve his fears.
Nero continued his walk through the caves, not seeing a single pokémon as he went. Eventually he came across the entrance to another cavern smaller than the main cavern by about half the size, but this cavern had a lot of work done to with the many shallow pools of water along the back wall and the beds throughout the room. Nero entered the room as quietly as he could, an easy feat for him. He stealthily walked through the room looking on to each bed to find a litter of young pokémon. As he continued through the room he found a doorway into another smaller chamber. Nero glanced in to find an alert and clearly irritated ampharos.
"Why is there a human in my nursery?" The angered ampharos asked as she wearily approached the doorway.
Nero watched the ampharos as she approached noticing she was not only an ampharos, but a shiny ampharos.
(A rare sight in this area.)
"Answer human, why are you here?!" She ordered a little louder without waking the young in the adjacent room.
Nero stepped into the room causing the protective pokémon to move back. He met her challenging glare with a seemingly careless gaze.
"I was familiarizing myself with the layout of the cave system and dens when I found your nursery." Nero told the defensive creature while locking eyes.
The ampharos looked at him puzzled until realization dawned on her. She bowed her head in respect before speaking.
"I'm sorry alpha I did not realize it was you. I'm very protective over the young ones entrusted to me." She apologized refusing to meet his eyes.
Nero rolled his eyes and released an irritated sigh before leaning back against the wall.
"I really need to have a meeting about these formalities." He stated as he examined the room which appeared to be similar to the other dens except for the doorway into another room.
Confused she looked up to see his calm almost carefree stance and relaxed a little.
"Alpha, you're not angry at me?" She asked worried.
He slowly shook his head and yawned.
"So, who are you?" he asked bring his gaze to meet her's.
"Shamira, Guardian and Den Mother of the nursery, Alpha." She answered proudly.
"Guardian and Den Mother, You must be strong to be charged with their protection as well."
Shamira was about to continue when a small muffled cry escaped from the doorway Nero noticed earlier.
"Excuse me." Shamira politely requested before hurrying through the same doorway into the next room.
Nero decided to investigate after catching the concerned and fearful look in Shamira's eyes as she rushed through the doorway.
Nero quickly slipped through the doorway, keeping close to the wall as he watched Shamira worriedly leaning over a smaller bed tending to the small pokémon in front of her, too concerned to notice Nero's presence.
He watched patiently from his position aside the doorway, awaiting a glimpse at what was so worrying to the guardian of his young pack mates.
Shamira sprinted over to another of the custom indoor streams, retrieving a small wooden carved bowl along the way, and stopped to quickly full it.
Nero took the opportunity of Shamira's absence from next to the bed to examine the creature within it.
A small eevee, no older than seven months lay within, curled into a small ball and shivering uncontrollably as she whimpered.
Shamira quickly returned with the bowl of water and moved the young eevee into a better position before bringing the bowl to her quivering lips and slowly allowing her to drink. Shamira set the bowl aside not leaving eevee's bed side. Nero walked forward taking the empty space beside Shamira, causing her to turn startled by, what to her was his sudden appearance in the room.
From his closer proximity Nero quickly examined the sickened youngling. Her brunette fur was wet with sweat and ragged from the movements she made during her fever induced deliriums. Each breath she took was labored, her fragile body slowly giving into the unknown disease.
Shamira calmed herself after the fright her alpha caused her.
"We don't know what is plaguing her, but she's been like this for-"
"Days, almost a week now, right?"
"Yes, but how do you know?"
"She obviously hasn't been bathed or cleaned herself in awhile and based on the way you've been acting and the fact that you are fatigued from lack of sleep lasting at least four days."
"At least our new alpha is an observant one." Shamira quipped trying to relieve a little stress. Nero made no indication of caring what she said.
"I'm Nero; don't call me by my title. Now step back." He ordered as he waved her back.
"W-why? What are you going to do? I won't let you hurt her!"
Nero's eyes left the frail eevee and turned to meet the worried but now fearless glare from Shamira. He returned his eyes to the desperate form in the bed as he walked closer. A bolt of electricity hitting the ground in front of him abruptly halted his movement.
"I am charged as her protector and I will! Even if I must oppose our leader to do so!"
"Enough. If I wanted to hurt her I would have by now. You clearly missed the battle I had to prove my authority or you would know electric attacks won't stop me. Now stand down." Nero demanded before continuing closer to the young eevee.
(So young. Her body is weak from the sickness, the only thing that could be keeping her alive is the will to live. Powerful will for one so small.)
Nero kneeled aside the bed. He brought his left hand up to caress the eevee's cheek with his thumb. She shook in response to his touch causing a whimper to escape her. He brought his second hand up and placed them both above the delicate kit. His shoulders tensed as he closed his eyes and began taking slow deep breaths, focusing on the strength he will need for the task ahead. With a final deep breath the golden light consumed him, spreading over his chest and moving out to encase his limbs.
Shamira didn't move, she was too surprised and awestruck by the sight before her. For reasons she couldn't understand the energy emanating from her mysterious leader was calming.
(What is this? The power flowing off of him… It feels strong and over powering, but it's also soothing. It is calm almost as if I can't be harmed by it even though it is so strong.) Shamira thought as she stared wide eyed at the scene before her.
Nero spread his fingers apart allowing the energy to seep off of them and flow across the sickly pup, covering her in the same comforting glow. Once the energy covered the pup entirely her shaking ceased as if all her problems were being alleviated. Suddenly Nero inhaled sharply and the glow brightened into a blinding light that only dimmed enough to see after a few minutes.
"What is going on in here?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER?!" A strange espeon appeared in the door yelling at Nero with no concern for him, but for the pup he was hovering over.
She charged forward ready to attack Nero, when Shamira impeded her.
"Shamira, what are you doing?! Move! He is hurting my baby!" The espeon screamed.
"Calm yourself Lin. It is OK Nero isn't hurting her." Shamira tried to reason as the glow faded and the energy surrounding the pup quickly shifted back into Nero's hands.
Lin tackled Shamira and leapt at Nero.
"GET WAY FROM HER!" The espeon snarled baring her fangs as flew towards the human she believed to be endangering her child.
Nero's eyes shot open revealing golden irises. He turned as she jumped bringing his right hand forward, suddenly the golden light diffused and a dark black aura replaced it. An onyx colored tentacle of energy shot forward as she snarled, wrapping around her throat and torso halting her attack in mid air. Nero's eyes changed the brilliant peaceful golden irises faded till an abyss of crimson blood was all that remained. His hands clenched and the tentacle of energy tightened constricting around the espeon's throat and slowly crushing her rips. The espeon's eyes started to dull as she gasped desperately trying to inhale. Her body became limp as she started to lose consciousness.
Shamira recovered from the espeon's tackle in time to see her jump at Nero and the once calming golden energy to change into the violent dark aura and protrude forward wrapping around her friend's body and begin choking her. As she watched the espeon become limp from the lack of oxygen she cried out.
"Nero! Stop you're going to kill her! Don't orphan the child!"
Nero's eye flashed between the bloody crimson and their normal dark brown before settling. The dark aura dispersed, dropping the espeon to the ground allowing her to suddenly gasp for air and fell forward using his arms to catch himself.
"… Fuck…" Nero cursed between breaths. He looked up to see Shamira franticly tending to the limp espeon in front of him.
"What the fuck did I do?" He asked regretfully not expecting an answer.
Shamira checked over Lin's motionless form looking for any injuries. Feeling Lin's ribs she could tell they were intact, but would be bruised along with her throat. Once she was sure Lin was physically fine and breathing properly she turned to Nero.
Nero sat back against the wall next to the bed with the small eevee to settle his breathing as Shamira turned towards him.
"What happened, Nero? You could have killed her." Shamira worriedly asked him as she approached.
"Tell me what you saw." He ordered regaining his calm composure as he suppressed the turmoil of emotions within.
"When I recovered from the tackle I saw a dark light around you instead of the calming golden color that was there earlier and a tentacle of the same energy extending from your hand and wrapped around Lin slowly killing her." She looked back at the unconscious espeon near the end of her depiction.
"I… Lost control. My abilities in this form are strong, but unstable. I need to be focused when using them or as you saw they react on their own." He tried to explain as best he could while staring at Lin's sleeping form.
Shamira listened watching him with a concerned expression. She was about to answer when a sigh from the nearby bed warranted their attention. She quickly moved up to the bed as the young eevee stirred.
Nero watched from his position next to the bed as the kit shifted slowly awakening. After a few moments she opened her eyes, soft violet orbs calmly taking in her surrounds until she noticed Shamira. Excited, the small creature tried to get up, but was immediately stopped by Shamira's voice.
"No lay down, Atsuko." Shamira scolded.
"Why? I feel fine." Atsuko whined.
"You were sick only moments ago don't try and-"
"She's fine." Nero stated cutting Shamira off and causing the eevee to jump from the unknown voice.
"W-who are you?" Atsuko stuttered uncertain of the human sitting so near to her.
"Atsuko, this is our new alpha, Nero." Shamira explained to the confused kit.
Nero out stretched his hand to Atsuko, allowing her to get his scent before scratching her behind the ear. She closed her eyes enjoying the treatment, before she spoke.
"Den Mother? Where is momma? She usually comes in first thing in the morning to see me." Nero immediately stopped and recoiled his hand. His expression became downcast as he looked away from the young pup. Atsuko stared at him confused, tilting her head to the side. Nero abruptly stood ceasing any further questions and walked over to Lin. Kneeling down he gently lifted here up against his chest and carried her over to the bed.
"Atsuko, make room." He ordered grimly still refusing to meet her eyes.
Atsuko moved allowing enough room for Nero to lay her mother in the bed along side. She quickly looked to Nero.
"What happened? Why is momma hurt?!" She fearfully asked as tears started to brim from the corners of her eyes.
"I…" Nero tried to answer, but turned away when he mistakenly looked her in the eyes.
"What's wrong with momma?" Atsuko cried.
(You did this to her. It's your fault.) Echoed in Nero's head.
Nero silently left the room and exited the nursery shifting back to his emotionless façade as he struggled to control the energy raging with in him. Leaving Shamira to calm the frightened child and explain what happened.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Kana awoke, uncertain as to why, but feeling as though something was out of place. She groggily made her way into the next room where Fiera was calmly sleeping on the bed; she and Nero were to share.
(Where the hell could he be this early?) Kana thought as she checked the room for any trace of Nero.
She turned around heading back into her room to wash off and prepare herself for the day when a loud rumble echoed throughout the cave, startling everyone out of their sleep. Fiera jumped out of the bed quickly scanning the room for Nero. Kana caught what she was doing and confirmed the fox's thoughts.
"He isn't here. I don't know when he left."
Fiera nodded, before motioning toward the entrance way and for Kana to follow. As they exited Vernius ran up to them in search of his leader. Fiera informed Vernius of Nero's absence, before they decided to go in search of him. Fiera again motioned for Kana to follow as they began to run towards the main chamber. Instead of joining the group of pokémon awaiting orders in the chamber Vernius turned toward the den, that Kana recognized as the one they had taken Nero to for him to speak with the elder just the other day. They entered the den to be greeted by a vulpix. After the quick greeting, she led them into the elder's room. Kana coughed a little as they entered her not being used to the pokémon's form of incense that was throughout the room and tickling the back of her throat with each breath. They reached the center of the room and awaited the attention of the elder shrouded in the haze. The vulpix the group greeted earlier left them as she moved to the elder's side and informed her of the guests, then left after given a few orders that kana couldn't understand. After the vulpix left the elder walked forward. Slowly the smoky haze parted as she came near revealing more of this elder that Kana has scarcely heard of.
"Human, I am Edana the elder of the pack. What is your name?" Edana began.
"I-I'm Kana, but how can I understand you?" Kana stuttered as she recovered from the shock of understanding a pokémon.
"Telepathy, I will translate the conversations to you." Edana looked to Vernius before continuing, "I've received word of a tunnel collapse on the eastern end sealing off a rather large chamber. The tremor seems to have originated there. My assistant has passed orders on to the group leaders. They are separating into groups and patrolling the dens. Have any of you seen Nero?"
"No, Mistress that is why we have come for your instruction." Vernius answered.
"This is troubling. Nero obviously isn't the type to run from danger." Edana stated thoughtfully.
"I spoke with him last evening before going to sleep. I didn't think he went to sleep when I did, but I had no idea that he left the den. He wasn't there this morning though either as I awoke shortly before the tremor." Edana turned to Kana as she explained the last known sighting of their alpha.
"Ninetails, your name?"
"Fiera."
"Fiera, can you confirm this as well?"
Fiera simply nodded in response.
"Alright, Vernius you three
from a group and excavate the collapsed tunnel. I fear the source of
the tremor is in the blocked off chamber and that Nero may be there
as well.
It is the only possible explanation for his absence as of
now."
"We will collect volunteers immediately." Vernius stated and started towards the door with Fiera and Kana behind.
"Kana may I speak with you." Edana asked stopping Kana at the doorway as Vernius and Fiera moved on.
"Y-Yes, Edana?"
"Earlier during your account of Nero's disappearance this morning you neglected something. What was it?"
"No-nothing, why?"
"If you are hiding anything that could harm my pack or the search for our alpha, I will not hesitate."Edana stated aggressively.
"I-I… I don't know what it was. When I woke up this morning I felt as thought something was… out of place." Kana spoke uncertainly.
"Alright, continue on, but if you ever have any other…feelings like that come find me." Edana ordered.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Kana, Vernius, and Fiera along with a small group of volunteers where walking down a one of the tunnels leading to the collapsed area. Vernius ordered the group to stop near the entrance to another chamber and entered to return shortly afterward with an urgent demeanor. After a few quick orders and a motion toward Kana to follow they began running until a second quick tremor shook them as they turned into another tunnel approaching the sealed area.
(What the fuck was that?) Kana thought as they stopped in front of the collapsed end of the tunnel. Vernius barked a few quick orders to the volunteers who immediately started digging to clear away the blocked entrance.
Kana started to dig as a loud howl like scream echoed from behind the fallen rocks blocking the tunnel. Another tremor followed shortly after causing more stones to fall narrowly missing everyone. A couple of the volunteers became discouraged as a second louder yell escaped from the closed chamber, this one sounded more human that the last.
"rrrrraahhh!" The strange voice raged behind the collapsed stones. Kana stopped recognizing the voice.
"Fiera! Vernius! Whatever is going on in there, Nero is caught in it. We have to hurry!" Kana yelled to everyone. Suddenly every soul tackled the wall with renewed determination concentrating in one area. They continued on as more tremors repeated impeded their progress. The group was becoming exhausted after digging non-stop for two hours without finding any evidence of nearing the other side. Some of the volunteers fainted and a couple had to be rushed to the healers after suffering injuries from falling rocks. Soon few were left, but Kana pushed forward digging as hard as could no matter how much her nails began to bleed and her fingers hurt she dug on with Fiera and Vernius right beside her. Until finally with one final rock the wall of stone gave way as a loud blast rocked the chamber. The concussive force throwing everyone back into the tunnel. Kana was thrown into a boulder along with Fiera as Vernius slid across the ground. A roar escaped the chamber as a bright light hindered their vision while another explosion shook the tunnel. Kana stood despite the pain in her arm and back.
(Nero is in there I have to find him.) She urgently thought as she held her injured left arm closer; slowly making her way into the chamber with Fiera a few steps behind. They to be greeted by the bright sunlight that shown in through the blown out ceiling. As their eyes adjusted they noticed the fissures and cracks that lined the crumbling walls. Huge gashes elongating out from the center of the room scouring deep into the floor at various angles, but never extended toward the tunnel entrance. Suddenly Kana felt it; an immense power was present something none of them have ever felt. In the middle of all the destruction stood Nero his back facing them.
"Nero! What the hell is going on?!" Kana yelled trying to get his attention only to be ignored as Nero's sword came crashing down releasing a beam of energy from its blade, causing another tremor more powerful than the last to occur as it gauged the earth.
"Nero, stop this you're going to bring the entire cave down!" She yelled again trying to halt the destruction. Suddenly Nero spun around with his sword to bare facing Kana and the small group who ventured in with Vernius. Kana stopped, she couldn't understand what she was seeing.
(What the hell? Is that really Nero? But… His eyes, their so dark. Their crimson, why?!)
"Nero! What the hell is wrong with you?! Why are you doing this?!" Kana yelled ignoring the feeling of danger that emanated from him. She started forward despite the instincts in the back of her head warning her to stay away. His tense shoulders moved with each labored breath; while his eyes followed Kana's every movement. Watching, studying her pace, staring with a gaze much like that of a predator stalking its prey.
Fiera sensed something was wrong, the tense of his muscles, the path of gaze, everything about him was wrong; this wasn't the man she followed. The human who defeated her in battle, the person who treated her as an equal instead of a lesser, No this was something else. Something that survived on the most basic of instincts.
Fiera bolted forward, quickly covering the distance between Kana and herself. Halting the blonde in her tracks.
"Fiera! What are doing? Move!" Fiera shook her head at the confused girl, before looking back at was supposed to be Nero. She sensed something was coming, something powerful. Suddenly before Fiera could react an aura dark as night, blacker than the new moon shot forth from Nero, hitting Fiera head on and throwing her across the room into a damaged wall. The wall shuddered with the force of Fiera's impact. She fell to the floor unconscious and bleeding, only seconds before the wall gave way burying her in dirt and rock.
Kana screamed, the man she thought was Nero had just attacked his own pokémon without care or cause, brutally throwing her into a wall and burying her alive if the impact didn't kill her.
(If Fiera hadn't stopped me. He could have done that to me. But… why? Why would he do this?!) Kana franticly thought, tears stream down her face. She wanted to run, but was too afraid to move. She couldn't believe this was the person who only days ago had saved her from a raging pokémon and agreed to allow her to join him, the same person who had comforted her in a moment of need only nights before.
"Nero! Why?!" She screamed as Vernius and the small group of volunteers stared in disbelief and a few shook in fear. What was this terror before them?
"Nero! Do you realize what you've done?! Fiera! You killed her!" Kana yelled attempting to fight the tears and failing.
Suddenly something changed; the threatening force that filled the room diminished, but didn't disappear.
"K…K…K-Kana… Kana?" The voice of Nero emerged from the mouth the creature that stood before them, struggling to break through. It sounded as if he were a distance away the sound only above that of a whisper as he spoke.
"N-Nero?! What is happening to you?! Why did you attack Fiera?!" Kana asked breaking down into cries of sorrow as the words escaped her lips.
"F-Fiera?" He asked his voice still barely above a whisper and fighting to be heard.
Vernius pointed with his nose to the pile of rubble where a single battered paw lay from within. Nero's crimson eyes shifted laying rest on the paw of his obedient companion.
"Fiera…" He whispered.
His eyes flashed the original dark brown showing through the bloody red that consumed them moments ago. The clatter of his blade echoed in their ears the only sound breaking the desolate silence other than Kana's soft cries.
