Authors note: I did promise that I will show and explain what Bella and Leo did in Leos mind to help him perfect his shapeshifting powers and stabilize his mind and help with his amnisia. So get ready for maybe some Psychonauts references
When Bella formed a psychic link with Leo relying on the books on psychics she read back home and using Lector in his Jinzo form as a focus…there were feelings going through him doing this for the first time…and unknowns and worry bout entering somponys mind…well he didnt expect this, as it shows a black void the only light being a human Lector dressed in a similar outfit to Eraquis but green with a pair of goggles around his neck as he looked around in the dark void "This is…not what I was expecting…a empty void of endless darkness and *Loos around* a subconcus Leo missing" he said as he walked through the darkness hoping to find a mental reprensation of his brother till he sawed a ball of light "I am sensing a sense of Djavu that I hope that it wont be a repeat of what that colorful human that sounded like that Kung fun Panda in one of the dimension crystals done (1)…wait that was becuse of sensory deficiency and Leo can see, smelll, hear and touch and smell all of that" he said as he approached as he became Bella (but still have the goggles on) as she sawed the orb was glowing but it looked smooth like a marble and clear white with a purple tint (2) as she gently approached "Um…hi? Ball of light? Are you Leo in there becuse if you are please respond" she said as she stood there for a few seconds…then touched it when the orb didnt say anything…well that caused a reaction "WOAH! Whos that? Who are you? Where am I? Who am I I dont know I am blank and this is scary, I AM NOTHIGN!" The orb yelled in Leos voice…sounding less like Ichigo and more like Po as he was flailing around as Bella stepped back as she looked around and sawed that it was slowly becoming less black and more rainbow colored meaning "Um Leo? LEO! Calm down if you are not suffering from sensory deprevention but you just need to pull yourself together and not Panic" she started as the orb got close "PANIC! I DONT KNOW WHO I AM SO PANIC!" He yelled as it soon got really technicolored and "Trippy" as some sort of wolf like creature made of rainbow colors and yellow eyes jumped out (3) "What is that? Some sort of enemy thing? I am so confused help!" He said as Bella quickly became Flash as he grabbed Leos light and dashed away from the Panic attack as it swipped at him "Hooo ok this isnt what it was like on the viewing crystals and *dodges the speedy Panic attacks claws over and over before getting annoyed and became Nesbit as he slapped it away with his shield* excuse me will you please leave me alone I am talking to someone honestly" he said as the Panic attack growled but wasn't deterred to attack the intruder of the mind.
"I think you provoked it" said Leos voice "Its going on instincts *Dodges* of all the times to not have time to learn how to use psychic attacks in the mind *dodges* heck inside the mind as well *Becomes Drago and palm thrust punches the panic attack away* I can still do that but I think the Panic will lash out at me" he said stepping back from an attack "I am freaking out and there is to much noise and cant focus I AM A BUNDLE OF EMOTIONS!" He said as Drago then had a metaphorical lightbulb moment "Thats it *blocks a attack as Gansly using his spear* I have an idea and I hope it works like it did with Helmet" he said as he cleared his thought Dear universe please SHUT UP!" He yelled causing the Panic attack and Leos orb to pause and stare at the sea creature as he just stood there like a idiot "That was supposed to take us to a quiet place, maybe it was the wrong form" he said as the panic attack and lashed as Gansly panicked "maybe that trick worked with Helmet becuse he was authoritative *becomes Helmet and cluches Leo close* NO CHOICE RIGHT NOW SO PLEASE LET THIS WORK AS DEAR UNIVURSE PLEASE SHUT UP FOR REAL!" He said as it soon cleared to a stary blue like area as the musician psychic fell on what felt like dark glass as Leos light floated out of his arms "What did you do? And…why do I feel so…calm" said Leo his voice lowering to a whisper as he felt a wave of calmness "Its your quiet place, a place where if needed you can go to calm your thoughts if need be" he said getting up as he looked around becoming Bella as she sawed something strange.
As she watched Raz explore Helmets quiet place there were "Shadows" of his memories waiting to be revealed, but in this quiet space there were none, just…splotches of black and a few black cracks on the top "If this was a memory vault why is there so much black gun?" Asked Bella as Leos light floated around "these features…why cant I remember any of them…why" he started sad "I dont know, what ever that accident that has happened giving you that scar in the back of your head and this flux of memories of past lives must be blocking your…wait I see something that isnt fully gunked" she said as she trotted over to what looked like a clouded memory of Leo standing somewhere as if he was looking for something, while near him was another figure that was gunky but you can tell it looked like a viking warrior and not far from the two were a pair of figures cloudy and barely any gunk one looked to be a deer like creature the other a angel like figure as Leos light stared it it "Leo? Are you ok?" Asked Bella "I…feel those figures are familiar…but why cant I remember there faces just this faint warmth" said Leo as he just floated in front of the figures as Bella looked at him and then the clouded memory "Hay dont worry I am here to help and together I know we can clean up these memories and find out your past" said Bella "But how can I piece together my past if I dont know who I am truly" said Leos voice in a sad tone as Bella touched him.
"Well here is something I know, you are Pyrus Leonardis, my partner, my brother, my freind along with Skurd, you are witty, snarky brave, curious and protective those are traits I know is the true you" she said as the orb of light seems calmer and a bit more shinny as Bella then looked around "Now, we need to get out of here and figure out how to help your mind" said Bella as she became Crump in his nightmare penguin form as he tried to feel around for a exit as from what he recalled from the crystals a visual representation of sight in Helmets mind (4) was the one who knocked and opened the "Memory vault" but with how screwy Leos mind is he doubt there will be anyone to open the way "Come on now *Waves his flippers* there has to be a door opening some" he started as he felt his flippers touch something door like as something pushed forward "Founded it *Over his shoulder* Leo come on I founded the exit" he said "Ummm, do you mind if I stay here I dont want to leave yet" said Leo as the large penguin rolled his eyes and waddled over and grabbed him "Come on" he said "no I dont want to leave my dark place" he said as Crump returned to the spot where the door was and pushed at it as it resisted before fully pushing it open as it opened up "Well shall we?" said Crump as Leo was quiet and unsure as the penguin pushed forward and was stuck halfway in and out of a memory vault as he grunted "Uggg not my smartest move" he said as he grunted trying to push out until he did with a grunt as he fell onto a wooden floor like spot as he grunted to push up "ok next time become someone who can….*Looks up after getting up and eyes widened* oh" he said looking around and sawed that he was on a small wooden floor surrounded by…pink fleshy walls and eyes (5) and doors with diffrent symbols some symbols of the bakugun elements, some were random patterns and some were hexagons with diffrent patterns (6). Needless to say it was creepy especially the flesh "Well this is spooky and reminds me of that world where that little two leg colt with the paper bag oh his head with time warping powers and that strange tower with *becomes Bella and pokes the flesh* bleach" she said as Leo floated near her "This…this is my mind?" He asked as Bella looked at him "I wish I could lie and say no…but it dosent mean we cant figure out how to fix this and get it…organized and clean, starting with how to get off this wooden spot?" She said as Leo floated listlessly until he stopped at a door that was the only one on the wooden spot that had a lightning bolt symbol with a circle of Berries around them (7) he felt a strange tug as he floated close to the door that Bella noticed "Leo?" She asked what is wrong?" She asked "I feel something through this door that needed help and I need your help opening the door" he said as Bella became Lector and calmly opened it "Here…and do you want me to join you or do you want to?" He asked as Leos orb pressed onto his chest "I…want to do this on my own…I dont know why but I feel like need to" he said as Lector nodded as the orb floated through has he closed the door and too a step or two back and sat down to wait until Leo finished what he needed to do.
"I hope he will be ok and still remember who he is primary as my brother and a brave and smarty fella but *Looks at the doors* I guess these must be windows to what made Leo…Leo from his visions of these pasts lives *sees how many doors there were* guess there were a lot of past lives like in avatar *becomes Korra as she stretched her legs out* I wonder what Leo is doing through the door? What is he learning?" She said as the sound of a clicking of the door opening as the avatar of her world stood up surprised as the door then suddenly glowed and changed that even the wall it was on changed and cleared.
When the light cleared Korra was in awe, the door was no longer stereotypical of a wood with a carving, it looked cleaner with a arch of unusual Berrys growing around it and had a name plate with the words Berry, healer and Gardner as even the wooden floor she was on now looked cleaner and had a rose compass as the memory vault was sniffing curious and there was now a wall with foliage and sweet smelling berries and a stain glass window showing a Pikachu with a pouch and a Florigus of purple flowers that seemed to be teaching the Pikachu how to be a herbalist (8) "Woah *touches a blue berry (9)* it must be connected to the soul with in" she said "You are right on that" said a female voice that belonged to Flora (Winx club) as Korra looked down and sawed a Pikachu…a unique Pikachu with green eyes and her back stripes a light green and caring a sachel, however on her tale was her cutie mark which to Korra meant "Leo? Is that you?" She asked as Leo? Nodded "yup, I know deep inside this is not my true self, but Berry is really kind to let me borrow this form and to also use her power outside my mind and let me tell you she is really kind *cue Korra now as Blight picking him/her up* a bit of a chatter box but she is a amazing healer *sees the stain glass wall* that Purple Florigist, that is her teacher who taught her how to use berries to heal and help people" she/he said "thats amazing" the skeleton said as the sound of clicking wood was hured as the two sawed a path from the platform seem to expand and clear off some gunk as it connected to another door, this time with a Darkus symbol and a skeleton head "I am guessing you have to talk to those souls within you and form the path ahead" said Blight as Leo looked at the door "Well…I had a year mind time talking to Berry and learning her skills and history maybe it wont be to long to talk to whoever is behind that door" she said but paused "Umm…a little help?" She asked as Blight opened the door "sure thing" he said as Leo walked in through as the skeletal radiated skeleton stepped back wondering if it will be like with the first door.
While Leo was doing what he can to get to know of the creature inside Blight looked around at the door and fleshy space as he placed his hands on his hips "we may need to create a center space to be a hub…but first we have to clear all this flesh…and I need to study more on the mind *Pressed a finger to his temple* I knew I should had read more on psychic warfare and how the mind works before I was transferred to this school, and not wing with when I became those psychics I saw in the crystals" he said as the door started to glow as he turned and sawed it change to a bit more stone, that even the floor a bit was turned marble stone albeit a dark grey as around the door frames are bones bleached white holding it as he wood looked more weathered as stone the only color is the purple Darkus symbol and the skull face. "*Cue anime face* what is behind the door that has such creepiness?" Said Blight as he sawed the stain glass feature a Darkus reaper bakugun partnered with a two legged human male in a mask and blonde hair fighting against other humans with there bakugun and a black portal to a dark relm…then a battle against a Pyrus Dragonoid and a boy dressed in red as the masked boy had a darkus Hyrandoid and he banished reaper abandoning him to the strange world as from the door quickly was the Darkus Reaper in the glass as he pressed his back against the door "That was scary and I cant belive that reaper was so angry" he said as he sighed and landed on his butt as Blight got close "you ok?" He asked as Leo sighed "I am ok, but it was hard to talk down to get the reaper to help out with his power *sits crosslegged as Blight joined* he was super mad and pissed at this young two legged called Mascrade (Blight now as Killer moth: original) and this boy named Dan and his guardian Drago and Mascrades partner Hydranoid, I had to promise take them down to use his power and to sort out his soul room but maybe he can find corporation" he said "Gonna have to be a lot of corporation" said Killer moth "Well, tough or not I am glad I went through it…but it was harsh with a lot of yelling" said Leo as the two stood up "We at least your brain piece by piece is cleaning up or looking less like a fleshy mess and its all becuse you are connecting and learning about your pass life" he said as they sawed a path connecting to another door "and we need to make a hub area" he said as Leo held the scythe in his hands "can…can you teach me how?" He asked "Sure thing and hopefully the book I have will work with instructions on minds cape works, but I know the first step is gathering mental strength to create something" he said as he became Xemnas as he placed two fingers on his temple and hummed focused as Leo watched "Any thing?" He asked "No, I think you need to be the one to do it" he said as cue Leo being comical and on his back twitching "No I am to weak" he said as the superior nobody gave a look and dragged him by the leg "Come on we are trying to heal your mind not stall that you have gunk in your memory vault" he said as they came to a new door this time with a Aquos symbol "now like with the other two do the same and I will try to see if we can make a hub" said Xemnus as Leo got up and peened his wings a bit and then with his new hands opened the door and walked in as the silver headed superior nobody looked down the fleshy area
"And this is gonna be gross, mental projection or not but we need a pseudo hub *Starts walking on the flesh like he is limping a bit* I am a partner who dose anything for his guardian and Leo owes me 10000 bits" he said going deeper in the mind. The mental equivalent of 30 minutes passed as the door got its own customization as it shows it a aquatic theam as it had a sea worn look of coral and seaweed mixed with Japanese as it shows not stain glass but a mural of a Aquos preyus who studied the way of the ninja as a Aquos preyus stepped out with a green scaled scarf (10) "Well that was a experience 5 years mental time to lear all of his works of water jutsu and how to be sneaky" said Leo in his new form as he felt his feet on what felt like sea stone as he sawed that it was diffrent, you can still see the flesh not far from where he met and got to know Aquos Ninja Preyus but he sawed a longer wooden walkway some leading to a few doors on the sides and that there was a clearning above but it was dark almost purplish red with a melty moon and as he looked down the wooden path he sawed a wide cobble looking street about as big as the area where the gran galloping Galla with a few doors in a semi-circle and "Woah talk about a redecoration and yet" he said as he walked on the wooden paths as he came to the centeral area as he looked around as he felt a flash of a location that felt warm and familiar to him as he hured singing.
Obito/Tobiss voice: (11)All your intentions take there toll all you hate enthralls your soul
When you win you sometimes lose and all you love does not love you
Leo hearing that he quelty snuck and sawed Masked Ninja and psudo 10 tailed jejurikki as he sawed him gently manipulating his mind scape…which also why he felt more…clear, not fully, but just enough as the lollipop mask wearing ninja was making more paths to the doors to make it easy as he sang.
All your intentions take there toll all you hate enthralls your soul
When you win you sometimes lose (Leo then have a mental flash of a viking like bakugun)
And all you love does not love you
"That sounded sad Sis, but you did really good" he said as Obito (Or now Tobi) turned and sawed Leo in his Ninja Preyus form as he blushed (you can see cute cheek marks) "Thanks Leo, and well it seems to help a bit in relaxing your mind to mold it to well *guestures to everything* make it more stable" he said as Leo looked around "It works" he said as Tobi looked at his brother in all but blood "that is a impressive form a ninja?" He asked as he nodded "yup and had to go and learn 5 years worth of mental training to do it so I am *cue a cool anime poise* a cool ninja and wash everyone down with my water style techniques" he said cheeky as Nesbit as Robotic knight eye smiled and continued to add more paths "Want to make that area our centeral hub area as we add more to this minds cape and heal your mind Leo" he said as Leo gave a toothy smile as Nesbit tapped a random door "Want to continue to organize your mind? Maybe we will find a memory vault with bits and pieces of your memories?" The human in a knight duel spirits skin said as Leo nodded "Yes" he said.
As cue a bit of a montage of Leo going into diffrent doors and coming out phyisically diffrent from each room…each soul inside of him and learning of each of there histories and promises to see them and talk about them as you can see Jack skeleton as he and Leo (Now looking like a cowboy serpenoid who according to Jack reminds him of this rattle snake with a gun barrel (12)) as the two worked to make it look village like and stable as some of the doors started to look like houses or portals as a fountain like are formed in the middle of the 'hub' as Leo (now looking like a Angemon priest as he sat on the fountain as Bella now looking like Crump in his human form (Dressed looking like Petes Kingdom hearts outfit but dark green and blue) as he had a cute old fashion view finder "Leo are you ok? Or are you deep in thinking mode?" He asked as the angel digimon looked up "I am fine and well, I am just thinking that all of these doors opened and learning about the history of everyone in me but I feel lost and…*Hugs his legs* I feel like am getting nowhere in making my real body or recognizing my true body but there is no offense I am enjoying learning up the histories of everyone…but I still dont know my own and my mental self still dosent feel like me" he said as the master mathmatitian held out the view finder "Well I calculate that this can help out a bit, I found it in a memory vault which holds fragments of memories if I recall from what I seen in the dimension crystals on that world on psychics" he said as Leo took it and gently removed his helmet reveling hercroma eyes 1 blue and one red eye as he placed it over his eyes and flipped it
[Leonardis first days]
Through the viewfinder it shows Leo in his true form in some sort of room looking dazed as he seems to be laying on a bed. It then shows a Gatomon in a kimono coming in and helping out the dragooned showing that they were talking with each other as Leo looked less dazed and more alive as then it shows the two walking down a Japanese hallway with diffrent paintings of angel like digimon as it shows a Japanese garden as Leo ha a awe look. As the Gatomon then showed him around the garden and gave him a lotus flower.
At the end Leo lowered it as you can see him looking like his real form as a tear dropped "I…remember faintly that Gatomon, Hikari she was so sweet and helpful during my days when I was blank and helped me gain emotions and more" he said as the penguin shifter patted his head "There maybe more memory vaults that are connected to your past life and also help you with your current memories with me and Skurd" he said as Leo gave a toothy grin "thanks Bella" he said as he stood up "Come on lets keep discovering more" he said as Crump got to a door "Awsome, lets try this door maybe if needed in the future I can join in" said Crump as Leo touched a door "Lets first get to know everyone…I wonder" started Leo before he opened the door as Crump now Bella got the idea "We should wait until your mind is stable but right now…start learning history *hummed* and I may make a library to reflect that" she said as Leo nodded and stepped through the door to meet the next person and continue healing his mind. Which once Leo got the spark of his confidence back really progressed as Bella got curious and often asked Leo about the souls he met and talked to and came to a agreement to borrow there power in reality as he shared what he learned with Bella who was in awe at all that is learned and discovered and wondering on Leos age which admitted to be a few years older then Bella, but still young as her.
Some time passed as the two continued to "Free" the souls and sometimes even went back to talk to the ones whom were already awoken as they had "Freed" and learned that Bella can go in through the door after Leo had awoken and got to know the souls as it shows the two in the more central city like area after unlocking 35 forms "I checked the first Memory vault we entered from and I am starting to see the gunk in there slowly clear up so that is a good sign that we maybe going into the right direction somewhere" said Bella as Leo hummed and looked at the area that will be the base and how clean it looks and how it seems…almost organized. "I feel it to but at the same time sis…I am a bit nervous about my past" he said as Bella gently rubbed his leg "Its ok, what ever happened in the past this is the new you, and me and Skurd love you" he said as Leo smiled at that but then frowned "Should we check on Skurd? In fact how long have we been in my mind?" He asked as Bella hummed "Maybe a few hours, I mean time passes differently in the mind vs reality but we should still check besides we should now practice your new forms in reality to truly get used to it" said Bella as Leo nodded but had a confused face "but how can we get out?" He asked as Bella hummed "If I recall studying the land of Psychonauts you can use smelling salts to get out and If I recall the books on the mind read on visualization and I know what it looks like since my creepy smile sister Liz at times uses this on Random the same with my dads guardian when he gets lazy" said Bella concentrating she summoned a bottle "if I recall sniff this and it separates the psychic channeling themselves in the brain out so brace yourself when you wake up" said Bella as she became Helmet and opened the bottle as he sniffed as it went black.
Back in reality it shows Helmet Fullbring opening his eyes in the same crossed legged poise with Leo in his palms as he popped out of ball form "Woah now head rush I can feel all of what I learn converging in my head" he said as Helmet tried to stand up but fell on his face "oooh pins and needles, pin and needles, and wow time flys in a couple of hours to make your legs numb" he said as he sawed Skurd…being a wall on the door "Um Skurd…what is wrong?" He asked as Skurds eyes slithered appeared "you want a honest answer? *cue both Leo and helmet nodding* wellllllll, you were asleep for 3 weeks in a medative state that I had to seal the door" he said as Helmet became Bella and Leo stared and shared a look
"THREE WEEKS! IN A MEDATIVE STATE!/no wonder I feel so hungry" they said in unison surprised that the first dive into Leos brain…it was three weeks in real time!
Authors notes
