I slowly floated back down to the ground. It seemed that no time had passed. "Guys? Are you alright?"
"Tenkai!" Baron called out.
"Baron! It's so good to hear your voice again!"
"What happened?" Alan asked.
"Long story short, Chloe's good again. She helped me Spirit Evolve into Mewtwo. I unleashed a pulse that cleansed you."
"Why can I only see white?" Emily asked.
"I don't know. Maybe Alan and I can absorb the light."
"It's worth a try," he replied.
We both were able to absorb the light, revealing my new form in the process.
"Tenkai," Baron started, "what's with the new look?"
"THAT is an even longer story that would take at least half an hour to do it justice."
Flarey began to wake up. "What- what happened last night?"
"Flarey!" I ran over and hugged him. "You were possessed by a demon. All that matters is that you're fine now."
He hugged me back. "Thanks, bro."
Garret came walking into view, holding baskets full of various berries. "What happened in-" On seeing everyone un-corrupted, he dropped his baskets, ran over, and hugged Baron's leg. "Guys! You're all back!"
I started to walk away from the teary reunion. Alan walked over to me. "You okay, Tenkai?"
"Yeah. It's just that the Spirit Evolution brought back some bad memories. It's making me lonely, I guess."
"You have us," he reminded me.
"Not that kind of lonely."
"Huh? Oh, I understand. Before I continue what I'm about to say... You're not gay, are you?"
"What? No, then I'd try to be with Flarey."
He gave a shrug. "Good point. Anyways, I might know someone you'd be interested in."
My ears perked up. "Really?"
Alan nodded. "Her name is Destiny. She's smart, beautiful, and she has a great sense of humor."
"She sounds perfect! When can I meet her?"
"A group of us, Destiny included, are meeting up in a few days. Something like a family reunion. I could see if she'll come hang out after."
"That would be perfect. I gotta go for now. See you tomorrow!" I teleported back to Collin's house to show him my new powers.
Oh, yeah, remember when I said I HAD to rate this M because of certain events?
Well, we're getting close~
