Hey y'all I'm back, sorry about the wait. School just started and didn't have the time to get started with the next chapter of Albedos past. I did an earlier storyline, but it didn't go well as I expected to be. But I believe this is perfect.
As Albedo was deep in his sleep, the memories started pouring in his mind. He recalled being small, reaching out his hands to his parents, possibly his family that he cherished and loved so much soon disappeared before his eyes. A war happened on his planet, that would soon be destroyed the same fate like Fuego. Blood was everywhere, people killing people. Albedo was only 5 when it happened, scared and under his bed. He was told to stay hidden by his parents who were at war. Hours passed then soon turned into days until everything was silent. The young albino, shaken and pulled himself out of the bed went to check outside what has happen. Only to see that no 5 year old should see.
Bodies, piled up in layers, the smell of rotting flesh was too bare to take in and dried blood splattered on the floor. Albedo, looked around if he can find his parents. After searching for 10 minutes, he soon started to bawl.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Albedo shouted out. But no response. All was heard was his echos.
"Help?! Somebody?! Anybody?!" His eyes widened as tears started to roll down on his cheeks and landed on the floor, like bullets. Soon, he started to cry and left his village, alone and being the only survivor. An hour later, it started to rain, drenched and cold and needing shelter. While crying along the way, he stumbled upon a pile of rubble, which resembles a house. As he ran towarded the rubble, he kneeled and saw how roomy and spacious it was inside and he was small enough to crawl in. Inside, he started shaking from the cold rain, trying to make himself warm and soon started to take off his clothes to prevent himself from getting sick, sad to say he did. Laying on the floor, covering himself and yet he resumed crying himself to sleep.
For the next two days, he never left his home. They were times he was very hungry, so hungry he wanted to look for food, but if he leaved his stone home, it will make him relive the horror he witness. He ignored the pain and hunger he was facing currently, but he thought it was the only way to not leave.
Albedo soon opened his eyes slowly, only seeing light from the ceiling, which he didn't recall having power in his stone home. His vision soon became clear and turned his head right, only seeing medical equipment and an empty tube- like incubator that was used. He turned his head straight down, sitting up slowly and blinking tiredly and soon saw some tubes on his arm, possibly IV fluid to get his body hydrated and saw himself covered with white blanket.
"You shouldn't be up boy." A voice was heard from behind and soon Albedo slowly turned his head and saw a figure in front of him. An alien octopus or squid(possibly both) with red eyes glowing in the dark approach him with armor around his body, leaving his left arm naked while his right arm fully armed with gold and black and in the center of his armored hand was a large yellow jewel. He wore a blue body suit with a red torso armor and on his left hip, held an alien gun. Albedo had no energy left to give the alien a reaction.
"Who are you?" Albedo said tiredly.
"I'm Vilgax, I'm the one who rescued you from a deserted planet." Vilgax said calmly.
"But you should rest now. You haven't gotten your energy back fully." He continued and helped him lay down on the bed and Albedo looked at the ceiling light.
Vilgax turned off the light and all Albedo saw was darkness. Soon, he slowly closed his eyes, hoping that tomorrow will get to know his rescuer.
A now teenage Albedo awaken from his dream, sat up quickly on the bed and panting.
"Hey, are you ok?" Lance said and placed a glass of water on the nightstand after coming back to check from Aisha's 'unexpected surprise.' She hoped Aisha will get better from this. She had been sick before and she pulled through. But for now, he must concentrate on the smaller albinos help.
Albedo looked at Lance, calming his breathing.
"Y-you're the guy from the.. grocery store." Albedo said.
Lance smiled and nodded.
"Glad you remembered." And Lance placed a hand on Albedos forehead. Making Albedo blush.
"You're still hot. And sweaty. I bought you some extra clothes Incase you wanna change." Lance continued.
Albedo just nodded and looked down a bit.
"Th-thank you, for saving me back there." Albedo said.
"Ofcourse, anytime." Lance said with a smile.
"But you might wanna shower, you're completely soaked in sweat." Lance continued.
This made Albedo blushed in embarrassment but agreed with Lance.
"Y-Yeah, I should." The smaller albino said.
Lance offered his hand to him and soon Albedo took his hand, getting up slowly. He was still weak and the smaller albino leaned against Lance.
"I'm here." Lance said as he took the weak Albedo to the bathroom, slowly walking with him. As they made it to the bathroom, the tub was filled with warm water. Albedo placed a hand on the bathroom wall. Panting.
"U-um.. May you please?" Albedo said with a blush across his face.
"Oh uh sure." Lance turned his head away, looking the other way. Albedo manange to pull down his red boxers slowly, revealing his full pale naked body and slowly sitting down on the bathtub, sighing in relief. Leaning his head against the railing of the tub.
Lance turned his head around and kneeled down to the relaxed albino.
"So, you got a name?" Lance said.
"My name is Albedo." Albedo said.
"My name is Lance, I hope you'll be staying here for a while." The rouge albino said with a smile.
"Where are we?" Albedo questioned.
"My best friends place, don't worry. Selena doesn't mind." Lance calmly said.
"Selena?"
"Yeah, her name is actually Aisha, but I call her Selena, since she was named after my favorite artist." Lance continued.
After finishing his bath, Lance took him back to his bed, drying his hair with a towel.
"You know, I can do this." Albedo said looking up at Lance.
"Don't worry, I don't want you pushing yourself too hard. You are still sick." The rouge albino said.
Albedo then changed into a large white shirt and loose boxers. This was the only clothing that Lance had to offer.
"Thank you." Albedo said as she sat down.
"Anytime, Alby." Lance said as he rubbed the smaller albinos hair. Making him blush until a knock was heard.
Lance reached at the door and Gwen appeared.
"Lance, it's Aisha. She's not getting better." Gwen said. His eyes widened and raced towards Aisha room. Aisha, laying in bed, sweating more than usual and panting. Sandra Tennyson placed a wet rag on her forehead.
Lance walked toward Aisha and kneeled down.
"Selena. Are you ok?" He said calmly.
Aisha's response was panting and wheezing along with whimpering.
Lance turned his head toward Kevin, growling.
"Don't look at me. I didn't push Aisha too hard. Did you remember that bird that exit out of Aisha's body. It must of caused her to be this sick." Kevin response back at his albino twin.
Lance got up and went up to Kevin's face, up close and personal.
"If Selena dies from this, I'll kill you." Lance growled.
"Oh yeah!" Kevin shouted.
"Yeah!" Soon the two growled together.
"That's enough you two!" Gwen shouted and pushed the two away.
"We have to figure out what's wrong with her or she'll die from dehydration." Natalie Tennyson said.
Now you all know why Lance calls Aisha, Selena. It was too obvious. But what caused Aisha to be sick? Will return with Ben trying to catch the Phoenix.
