THIS IS… The Purple Warrior! ^_^ Hey guys, ya ready for another chapter? Well too bad, you get to listen to Antonio's Mom lecture you on good eating habits.
Antonio's Mom: "What you should do is eat a little bit then wait before getting another helping, that way the food has time to-"
Me: "Ok, enough. I was just kidding."
Antonio's Mom: "But-"
Me: "BE GONE!"
Antonio's Mom: "OH DON'T YOU TAKE THAT TONE OF VOICE WITH ME YOUNG MAN!"
Me: "Oh god… whatever. I'll just do the disclaimer while you rant on… I don't own Pokemon, this is the 26th fucking time I've said it. I only own my OCs and the storyline that I've written. And all OCs that were submitted to me belong to their proper owners/creators. And yes I'm too lazy to say who owns who but they know which OC is theirs so yeah. Story time."
Antonio's Mom: "UNGRATEFUL LITTLE PIECE OF-"
Normal POV
Dream World
I sat down on the bed next to Luke, it had been another 20 minutes since my little vision. Bahamut and Zephyr were still out doing whatever. The only reason we didn't go looking for them is because my head still hurt from what happened. That and I wanted to stay in this room in case those dragons popped up again. I'm pretty sure it had to do with that carving… but I could be wrong… oh well. Best to just leave it alone for now.
"Antonio?"
"Yes Luke?"
"You ok?"
"Huh?"
"You look like you're troubled by something."
"I guess I just have a lot on my mind."
"Like what?"
"Well, when I spazzed out…"
"Yeah?"
"I had a vision I guess."
"Vision?"
"Yeah, there were two dragons. One was big and purple, the other was black and small. The black dragons name was Zephyr."
"Really?"
"Yeah, he was really young. And I guess he was the purple dragons son. The purple dragon… his voice sounded familiar… but I don't know where I've heard it before."
"I see… go on."
"They told me that all would become clear soon. And that I would have a happy future, I just needed to figure out a few things. They mentioned something about my lineage and the fact that I'm not human."
"Ok…"
"They told me that Zephyr knows but he won't remember until we have the sacred gemstones."
"The furry Zephyr knows? Or the dragon Zephyr knows?"
"Furry Zephyr."
"Ah."
"The dragons also said that Jericho knows something… but not all of it. Still, a little bit of information would help…"
"Antonio, I know what you're thinking… please don't confront him! You said it yourself that he's stronger than you… please Antonio don't."
"Luke, don't worry. I won't confront him until I have enough gemstones to be his equal in strength."
"Please, stay away from Jericho until you're stronger than him!"
"Why?"
"Because… I don't want you to make a miscalculation and get hurt."
"I won't get hurt."
"Please, just promise me…"
"… Ok Luke I promise. But only because I love you."
"Thank you… I love you."
"I love you too."
I scooted closer to Luke and wrapped my arms around him, holding him as close to me as I could. Luke rubbed his head against my cheek lovingly while wagging his tail. Oh he's so cute… he doesn't even have to try and he still manages to be cute…
I know right?
Zephyr? Where the hell are you guys?
Well, I was on my way back when I ran into Bahamut… we're heading back now.
What happened to the Corridor of Darkness?
Well, it's being a pain in the ass and doesn't want to work for me. We'll be there in about 10 minutes.
The Corridor of Darkness I is being a pain in the ass?
Yeah, it's got a bit of an attitude today.
The Corridor of Darkness has an attitude?
Shut up, I'll be there soon.
Alright, hurry it up.
"They'll be here in about 10 minutes."
"I know."
"I'm guessing he contacted you too."
"Yep."
I merely laughed as we both laid down on the bed, cuddling together as we did. We both slowly closed our eyes and just laid there, grateful for each others' company…
Normal POV
My eyes slowly opened as… Wait… WHAT? I quickly sat up in my bed in the Captain's Quarters. I looked to my right at Luke, who had also just woken up.
"Luke?"
"Antonio? How did we-"
"I was just gonna ask you."
"…Shit."
"Dammit!"
Antonio, did you and Luke fall asleep?
Maybe, but why are we in the real world?
Sleep Antonio. Sleep is what controls when you transition between the real world and the dream world. While you sleep in the real world, you remain awake in the dream world.
So while we sleep in the dream world…
Yes, you remain awake in the real world.
Meh, so now we have to wait another day?
Yes, seeing how you guys fell asleep.
Dammit! Ugh, I need some coffee…
I pulled myself out of bed with a grunt and slipped on my jeans, my trench coat and my sandals. Luke pulled himself out of bed and followed me out the door and into the main room. I walked over into the kitchen area and found a coffee pot filled with fresh coffee and a few coffee mugs. I quickly poured myself a cup of coffee and took a sip.
"Ahhh… You want some Luke?"
"No thanks, coffee makes me crazy…"
"Oh yeah forgot about that… that was a close one!"
"Yes it was."
"A repeat of last time would not have been good…"
"Yeah."
I started laughing as I remembered what happened. The last time he had coffee, he somehow managed to steal a cop car, blow up an abandoned house, kill the leader of a drug cartel, and crash a stolen taco wagon in under an hour. He's normally a calm and well restrained guy, but whenever he gets hyped up on caffeine… my advice is to run… run very fast! Same thing goes for Shade and sugar. I gulped down the last of my coffee and set down the mug before heading into the living room. Drake and Leviathan had fallen asleep on the couch, wrapped in each others arms. Carlos on the other hand was sitting on the other couch sipping on some coffee.
"You make the coffee Carlos?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Good work, best coffee I've had in a while."
"Thanks."
Luke and I sat down next to Carlos right as Kale and Vlad came out of their room. They slowly made their way over to the third couch and sat down.
"Mornin guys. Oh and Happy Birthday Luke!"
"Mornin."
"Good morning. I actually kinda forgot about that… but thanks."
"Sure thing. Ummm Antonio?"
"Yeah Kale?"
"Why is there a hole in the wall?"
I looked at the rice paper wall by the door to see that there was indeed a large hole in the wall.
"The fuck?"
"Oh yeah, I meant to tell you about that."
I looked to my left to see Shade sitting on the floor next to Jolt.
"What happened?"
"Well…"
Shade's POV
Flashback
2:00 A.M.
Jolt and I were behind the rest of the group and were about to go inside with the others… But Antonio closed the door behind him.
"Huh? Antonio! Hey! Jolt and I are still outside! Yo dipshit! Open the fuckin door! No thumbs! HEY!"
"Shade, they can't hear you... Even though the walls are made of rice paper…"
"Fuckdammit… ANTONIO!"
"Shade, it's ok. It's not like it's freezing outside or anything. We can sleep right here."
"Oh no we can't! HEY BUTT-MUNCH! OPEN UP!"
"Shade…"
"MOTHERFUCKA! OPEN THE FUCKIN DOOR MOTHERFUUUCKAAAA!"
"…"
I turned around to see Jolt was staring at me in a weird way.
"What?"
"Shade, honey, listen. We'll be fine. It won't be that bad sleeping out here."
"Jolt, I'm sure that you would prefer sleeping in a warm, fluffy bed than on the cold, hard ground."
"Yes but-"
"Then I'm getting us inside, one way or another."
"Sigh… You're lucky you're cute."
"Hey I'm smart, I'll figure out a way to get us inside."
"I didn't say that you weren't smart."
"Exactly."
I took a look at the wall when I suddenly realized something…
"Ok I got it! The wall is made of rice paper right?"
"Yeah?"
"HHRRRAAAAGHH!"
I began running as fast as I could towards the wall and tackled it, tearing through the paper like nothing.
"There, problem solved. Let's go to bed."
"Shade… sigh, whatever. Let's just go to bed."
I looked behind me as Jolt walked through the hole and followed me to an open bedroom…
Normal POV
"And that's what happened."
"You tackled a hole into the wall?"
"Yep! Pretty smart huh?"
"… Yeah, smart."
"Hey, it's not too bad."
"There's a hole in the wall."
"Yeah, nothing a little duct tape can't fix!"
"Duct tape? To fix a Japanese rice paper wall? Do you know how ghetto that would look?"
"… It wouldn't be that bad."
"Whatever, I'll see if I can fix it later…"
Suddenly multiple loud sound filled the entire city. CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!
"ATTENTION ALL CAPTAINS AND LIEUTENANTS! REPORT TO THE CITY ENTRANCE IMMEDIATELY! NEW MEMBERS HAVE ARRIVED! WE WILL HOLD A CAPTAIN'S MEETING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS!"
"And that would be me. Just stay here guys, I'll be back in a few minutes."
"See you then."
"Love you Luke! I'll give you your gift when I get back!"
"Ok, I love you too!"
I quickly slid the door open and performed a quick Burst Leap, landing at the city's entrance a moment later. The only people there at the moment were Kerrick, Blade and myself.
"Jeez, you guys move quick."
"We don't move quick Kerrick, everyone else is just slow."
"Not exactly Blade. I'm fast, but tell me… how did you manage to get here before me?"
"Because I'm faster than you."
"That's not possible."
"Isn't it?"
Suddenly, Blade was no longer standing in front of me, instead he was behind me with a kunai pressed against my throat.
"Not bad, but it's useless if you don't have a weapon."
"What?"
I began focusing as much heat around his kunai as I could, causing the blade to melt, forming a small pool of liquid metal by my feet.
"That's what."
"Damn."
"Now I suggest that you never raise your weapon at me again. If you do, I'll rip your arm off."
"But what if we were to spar?"
"Then we wouldn't use real weapons. We'd use wooden ones."
"Whatever."
I pushed Blade off of me just as the others began to show up. Although, I noticed that Kerrick, James, and Friz all had similar badges tied to their left bicep, each one emblazoned with a dragon then the English number of their squad… Dragons…
"All right everyone's here… Kerrick, where are the new members?"
"They'll be here. Just give them a minute…"
I continued looking out towards the cave that would bring them out to the gate. Eventually, it opened and a Lucarios emerged from the cave. He was holding a large machine gun in his hands and wore a pair of sunglasses. He also had a black bandana tied around his left arm…
"The hell? Wait a minute… I've seen him before…"
He walked over to us and looked at us over his sunglasses.
"Which one of you would be Antonio?"
I took a step forward and pointed to his sunglasses.
"You mind taking those off? I'd prefer to be able to see someone's eyes instead of a pair of sunglasses."
"I ain't taking them off."
"Well, you're rather rude."
"You Antonio or what?"
"Yes I am."
"Pfft, you're just a kid."
I quickly pulled my gun out of my trench coat and pointed it at him.
"I assure you, I'm no kid."
"What the? Who the hell gave you that? Give it!"
The Lucario stepped forward and tried to take my gun, only to have me move it out of his reach.
"Why should I?"
"You're just a kid, you shouldn't really be involved in this shit, nor should you have a gun."
"I took it from it's last owner. It's mine now. I'm the chosen warrior who has to stop Team Galactic. I have to be involved."
"Give me that!"
I quickly placed my hand on the Lucario's shoulder and flipped over him, sticking my gun back in my trench coat as I did. I landed on the other side of him and he spun around, pointing his gun at me. I quickly kicked it out of his hand and caught it. He quickly reached into a backpack and pulled out two .45 caliber handguns, pointing them at me as I pointed his machine gun at him.
"Heh, looks like you've underestimated me haven't you?"
"Put the gun down ya little shit."
"How about you make me-"
"No Antonio don't call him an-
"Old man!"
"Shit…"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?"
"I CALLED YOU AN OLD MAN!"
"WHY YOU LITTLE…"
The Lucario then performed a back-flip as he kicked the gun out of my hand, landing back on his feet in an instant. Before I had time to react, he tackled me to the ground and sat on me, his gun pressed against my head.
"Ngh… Get off of me!"
"Ya little shit… Call me an Old Man one more time!"
"GET OFF OLD MAN!"
I planted my hand on the ground and pushed my hardest, sending us both flying into the air. I spun around and kicked both guns out of his hands, only to have him pull out a sniper rifle.
"YOU LITTLE FUCKER!"
He then fired a single shot at me, as if it would hit me. I simply laughed as I spun to the side, the bullet just missing my nose. I grabbed his gun and pulled back on it as I head butted him in the face, breaking his sunglasses and sending him flying to the ground. I dropped his gun as he yanked off his sunglasses, letting me see his eyes. His right eye was orange but yet the left one was red…
"Dammit! THOSE WERE BRAND NEW!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…"
"I'M GONNA RIP YOU A NEW ASSHOLE!"
"Bring it."
He pulled out a sawn-off shotgun from his bag and pointed it at me, obviously ready to blow my head off. But when he pulled the trigger, a net came out instead of a shotgun shell. I quickly summoned Kijutsu-shi and slashed through the net with a single swipe.
"VINCENT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
I looked towards the cave to see a Zoroark emerge… but it wasn't just any Zoroark…
"BLAKE?"
"Hey Antonio, long time no see!"
"What're you doing here?"
"Well, James called Vincent, then Vincent called me. So, here I am… Or maybe I'm… HERE?"
Blake was suddenly standing right beside me with a wide grin on his face.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah… we get it… Illusion Master, blah, blah, blah."
"Oh shut up."
I pulled Blake into a quick hug, seeing how it had been a long time since I've seen him.
"Oh, I can see that you're still a hugger."
"Oh shut up and give me a hug. It's been two years since I've seen you!"
"Yeah well that's because you moved to Kanto."
"Yeah, Johto was just a bit too crazy at the time."
"Well since that incident with your dad…"
"Yeah I know…"
I let go of Blake and looked him in the eyes as he begun playing with his necklace.
"So how have you been these past two years?"
"Ok I guess, Johto actually quieted down a lot after you left."
"Well, it was normally me that made things so crazy there."
"I know right?"
Yeah, in case you guys are wondering… Blake is an old friend of mine. No he wasn't an Ex-boyfriend. He was actually my dad's only Pokemon, not to mention Luke's adoptive brother. Yeah, I said Luke's adoptive brother. I found Luke as an egg, abandoned by a tree. I took him home and coincidentally my dad had found a young Zorua alone and scared in Goldenrod City. We named the Zorua Blake and let him live with us. A few days later, Luke hatched. They instantly became good friends and grew up together. They, like all brothers still had their arguments but they loved each other nonetheless.
"So where's Luke?"
"He's back at my 'house' I'll take you to say hello in a bit."
"Well the others are pretty far behind, so we could go now."
I looked back at Kerrick, who merely nodded.
"Alright then. Get on my back."
"What?"
"Get on my back."
"Ok then…"
Blake then jumped onto my back right as I used a Burst Leap, landing just outside the Squad 0 Captain's Quarters. I slid open the door and set down Blake. We walked inside and were immediately greeted by Luke.
"Antonio my love you're ba… What. The. Hell. Is this shit?"
"Hey Luke! Happy Birthday!"
"OHMYFUCKINGIT'SBLAKE!"
Luke leaped across the room, hitting Blake with a tackle hug and bringing them both crashing to the floor. I laughed as Luke hugged his brother while spurting out random nonsense.
"Jeez Luke, I don't remember you being so affectionate towards people."
"It's been two years since I've seen you Blake. Of course I'm gonna give my brother a hug!"
"By the way Luke, what was with that 'Antonio my love' thing?"
"Oh right um…"
"Luke and I are… well, we're in love."
"Wait, you guys are mates?"
"Yep."
"Well good for you!"
I laughed as I pulled the both of them off of the floor and gave Luke a quick kiss.
"So, what happened to Jericho?"
"Blake… he's the new leader of Team Galactic."
"What?"
"And… he also kinda tried to kill me."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah…"
"That asshole! He left you for dead and then tried to kill you afterwards?"
"Well, at first he thought that I would take him back."
"What a fucking douche face."
"I know. I can't believe I'm saying this but… it's going to be fun killing him."
"Fun?"
"Yes it will be… all the people he's hurt… all the sorrow he's caused… I'll end him. And I'm going to have fun doing it!"
"Antonio, you're starting to scare me a bit."
"Sorry, it's just the warrior inside me speaking."
"Yeah."
"Anyways, Luke here's your birthday present."
I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a locket. It was in the shape of a heart and was made of 14 karat gold. I handed it to Luke who opened it and looked inside.
"…Oh my god…"
"Go ahead, read it out loud."
Luke's POV
When I opened the locket, I found a picture of Antonio and I cuddled up together on a couch. On the other side was an engraving…
"Go ahead, read it out loud."
"Luke, you are the love of my life. There is nothing in the entire world that I could love more than I love you. You are the reason that I fight, the reason that I live, and the reason that I can believe in myself. I will fight till my last breath in order to protect you. I will end this war that rages on… for one and only one reason, so that you may be safe. No matter what happens, I love you, and I always will. Love, Antonio… Oh my god…"
"Wow… Antonio you really outdid yourself."
"Well Luke?"
"I love it… thank you."
"You're welcome."
I wrapped my arms around Antonio, hugging him tightly. I lightly rubbed the side of my head against Antonio's cheek, causing him to laugh slightly.
"I love you Antonio."
"I love you too, my cuddly little jackal."
Normal POV
CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! ANTONIO MUNIZ AND BLAKE MUNIZ, REPORT BACK TO THE CITY ENTRANCE IMMEDIATELY!
"Well that's us…"
"Ok, Luke we'll be back in a few minutes."
"Ok."
I stepped outside the room as Blake climbed onto my back again. After a few quick Burst Leaps, we touched down at the city's entrance. This time, there was way more people there. There was some kid with a hammer, a guy with a white jacket that had fur on it, a guy with black and red hair that was holding a katana, a guy with a shirt that said "Every Damn Day", Vincent, a girl with a jet black ponytail with a midnight blue streak going through the middle, a guy with long blonde hair that fell just past his shoulders, a guy with shoulder length ocean blue hair, a guy with long neon blue hair, a girl with long black hair that hung down freely, some guy with a blonde buzz cut and blue tinted sunglasses on his hair, a girl with red hair that was held out of her eyes by a skater's beanie, a guy with a light brown buzz cut and some freaky metallic gloves, and a rather small Sableye.
"Is this everyone?"
"No, there's a few more stragglers left behind. But they'll be here within a day or so."
"Good. Well then, what are your names?"
"Romeo."
"Matias."
"Alex."
"Trey."
"V."
"Eva."
"Nick."
"Mathais."
"Skye"
"Zora."
"Garrett."
"Thorn."
"Charlie."
"Dexter."
I took a deep breath, trying to memorize the names and who's face they belonged to. (Note: They're all named in the same order that they were described in.)
"Ok… Thorn, I'm guessing that your real name is Rose."
"How did you-"
"Cause I'm awesome that's how."
"But-"
"Minds are just like books, easy to read if you know how."
"That's-"
"Rude to go poking around in people's minds without permission? I wasn't, I was just screwing with you. Made a lot of lucky guesses too."
"No-"
"Way? I say yes way."
"…"
"Anyways… I'm Antonio Muniz but you probably know that already, blah, blah, blah… Kerrick will assign you all to a group that you'll lead once we grow in numbers, blah, blah, blah… I'll just say it now since I've already been hit on recently, I'm in a relationship so don't flirt with me. Luke is a rather jealous Lucario and will most likely eat your face. Now that that's settled, I'll let Kerrick assign you. Kerrick?"
"Right… Blake, Lieutenant of Squad 5."
"Got it."
"Garrett, Captain of Squad 9."
"Ok."
"Rose-"
"Thorn."
"Whatever, you'll be Lieutenant of Squad 4."
"Shit… Samantha is my captain isn't she?"
"Yes, deal with it."
"Fuck."
"Eva, Lieutenant of Squad 11."
"Ok."
"Nick, Captain of Squad 2."
"Understood."
"Skye, Captain of Squad 1."
"Cool."
"Charlie, Captain of Squad 12."
"…"
"Zora, Lieutenant of Squad 1."
"…"
"Vincent-"
"Call me V."
"… Fine, V, you'll be the Lieutenant of Squad 6."
"You saying I'm too weak to be a captain?"
"No it's because-"
"Because what?"
"Oh fuck it… FINE! You're Captain of Squad 3. Happy?"
"Yes, yes I am."
I let out a small chuckle and made a lovely little comment.
"Whiney old ass Lucario…"
"WHAT WAS THAT?"
"NOTHING SO SHUT YOUR TRAP!"
"I OUGHTA KICK YOUR ASS!"
"TOO BAD THAT YOU CAN'T!"
"AND WHY CAN'T I?"
"CAUSE YOU'RE TOO FUCKING OLD!"
"…"
I let out a laugh and walked over to V, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey sorry man, I couldn't help it. I just like to piss people off sometimes. It's fun."
"Yeah well you're pretty damn good at it!"
"Yep. I know. Seriously though, I apologize for being rude."
"Stupid little kid…"
"Hey, I'm no little kid."
"Yeah well you act like one."
"Only occasionally."
"Whatever."
I looked back at Kerrick to see that he was impatiently tapping his foot.
"Done?"
"Yes."
"Good. I'll continue then… Trey you'll be Captain of Squad 10."
"Alright."
"Dexter, Lieutenant of Squad 12."
"Ok."
"Mathais, Lieutenant of Squad 6."
"Got it."
"Alex, Captain of Squad 10."
"Ok."
"Matias, Captain of Squad 13."
"…"
"And Romeo, you'll be Lieutenant of Squad 2."
"Alright."
I let out a sigh of relief and blew a strand of hair out of my eyes.
"Ok if that's over with… I have a special birthday boy to attend to."
"Huh? Who?"
"Luke. Now if you'll excuse me…"
"Mind if I come too Antonio?"
"Hmm? Oh, sure thing Blake."
"Um but I still should show him around and-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, later. He's smart he can figure it out."
"Thank you."
"Ok I take that back, he might not be smart but he should still be able to figure it out."
"Hey!"
"…Ok then…"
I placed my hand on Blake's shoulder and began focusing psychic energy around the both of us.
"Umm Antonio… what're you doing?"
"Trying out Teleport."
Suddenly a flash of light blinded us, leaving us standing right next to Luke inside the Squad 0 Barracks.
"HOLY FUCK-SHIT!"
"Hey Luke!"
Luke punched me in the arm with extreme force, feeling as if he broke my fucking arm!
"Don't fucking SCARE ME LIKE THAT!"
"Ow!"
"Jeez Luke…"
"Well I hate it when people scare me like that."
"Yeah but seriously man, no need to wail on your boyfriend."
"Yes… let's please not break the boyfriend… Especially his face."
"I never touched your face…"
"I was just letting you know for future reference."
"Ok… Sorry for punching you."
"It's ok. I'll let it slide since it's your birthday."
"Yay!"
Luke jumped into the air and wrapped his furry arms around me, grinning like an idiot. I laughed and hugged Luke back, giving him a kiss on the cheek as I did.
"I love you ya crazy little puppy."
"Hey, I ain't no puppy."
"Oh really?"
I reached both of my hands up and began scratching Luke behind his ears.
"Ahhhh…"
Luke's tail began wagging like crazy as I continued scratching his ears.
"Ha… Luke, bro, I think Antonio's right… you're a crazy little puppy."
"Oh shut up Blake."
"Luke, no being rude to your big brother."
"Ok… I love you Antonio!"
"I love you too."
"And I love both of you guys!"
Blake wrapped both of his arms around us, pulling us into a group hug. It was a nice moment, just the three of us having a nice little group hug… It had been a while since we'd been able to do something as simple as this. Yeah, I missed Blake a lot over the past 2 years… I had asked him if he wanted to come to Kanto with us but he declined the offer, saying that he had some stuff to take care of back in Johto… Although he wouldn't say what it was… oh whatever, it doesn't matter. I looked up at the sound of a few doors opening to see Drake, Shade, and Kale running towards us.
"BLAKE!"
"Huh? HOLY SHIT!"
Drake Shade and Kale all tackled Blake to the ground, hugging him while Carlos and Jolt watched from the doorway in confusion.
"Oh my god! Blake, It's been so long since we've seen you!"
"H-Hey Kale, what's up?"
"Dude, you should've have told us that you were coming!"
"Well I would've Drake but it was kinda last second."
"Blake! What's up?"
"Whoa, Shade is that you? Damn, you've grown quite a bit."
I let out a laugh as I watched Kale and the others hug Blake to death. It had been a while since any of them had seen him. Blake had helped raise Shade and Kale. I'm sure that he was glad to see them again.
"Heh, hmm?"
I looked a Blake and realized he was looking in Jolt and Carlos' direction.
"Uh, hi. Who're you guys?"
"Oh right I forgot. Blake, this is Carlos and Jolt."
"Oh, hi. I'm Blake."
Jolt and Carlos both walked closer to Blake, Jolt speaking first.
"Hello, my name is Jolt. I'm Shade's mate."
"Oh, really? Damn Shade! Who would've thought that you would've beaten me to finding a mate?"
Shade laughed and gave Jolt a kiss on the cheek.
"I would've guessed."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever Shade."
Blake let out a laugh and playfully pushed Shade, making him stumble. Carlos then made sure to introduce him self as well.
"My name is Carlos."
"Hey Carlos, I'm sure you know by now but my name is Blake."
"It's nice to meet you Blake."
"It's nice to meet you too."
I don't know why, but my head suddenly started to hurt… It felt like someone was driving a knife into my head and twisting it. I looked over to Luke and saw that he was rubbing his forehead.
"You got a headache too?"
"Y-Yeah…"
I dropped down on my knees, clutching my head in pain. Luke soon did the same, dropping right next to me. The pain seemed like it was too much for me… it was overpowering. W-What the hell is happening?
Don't worry, it'll pass… probably.
Probably?
Don't worry you'll be fine. I promise.
Gah… ok.
I closed my eyes, hoping for the pain to cease… but it only intensified. Blake suddenly looked at us with concern in his eyes.
"G-Guys? You ok?"
"W-We'll be fine… trust me."
"You sure Antonio?"
"Gah… y-yeah."
I continued to sit there like that for a while… just waiting for the pain to cease… but it wouldn't stop. It just kept going until… darkness. The empty, black, darkness. I passed out but… why am I not in my mind? What the hell is going on?
Oh yeah, I ended the chapter there. Big cliffhanger. Sorry this took so fucking long to get posted. Just had a bit of trouble writing it for some reason… Oh well, I should be back in the game now… Hopefully. Anyways… I guess I'll see you guys later… In The Purple Warrior Chapter 27! Bye everyone!
