~ Eevee
Mystic/Demon Fighter has joined the chat!
Ryu had joined the call on Flype and *Eevee started laughing when she saw the state he was in. I had to bite my lip to fight back the laughter.
"Hahahaha! Wow you look like a wreck Ryu!"
"Oh wow! Really, I haven't noticed."
He honestly did but I didn't want to be rude. We just ignored her laughter.
"What happenned Ryu?"
"Well I spoke to Lucina. She showed me the stronger connection I have to my inner demon now. I could almost not fight back and she had to kick me twice just to stop me. I'm telling you guys things just got a whole lot more complicated."
"Hahahaha! I just can't- Wait what? Are you serious Ryu?"
He just gave us a sad and slightly tired nod. *Eevee said nothing but I could tell this was bothering her.
"Are you okay Ryu?"
"Honestly I don't know. I'm still trying to process all this. I'll only feel better once I gain some control over this. But who knows how long that will take. I just wish I had more of a chance than try balancing my emotions and aura with meditation."
"Don't worry Ryu. We'll help you out anyway we can. Whenever there's something we can do to help just say the word."
"I appreciate it but I don't think-"
"Just accept that we want to help you already retard! And don't ever make me say that again!"
"Okay thanks."
"But seriously, I've been giving it some thought and I have to ask, do you think it will get in the way of training?"
"Well it can actually. Lucina said it might try to interfere in the future to take back control of my body and use it against me. Only this time I can actually see it going on but I can't fight back. That part is what worries me the most. One day I'll be actually hurting you guys and I'll just be helplessly watching it all. The thought of it makes my stomach clench because I don't even know when it could happen next. Just that when it does please be careful."
"We will we promise."
SylveontheFightingFairy has joined the call!
"Sorry I'm late guys. Mom held me back after dinner to wash up the dishes. Did I miss anything?"
"You did actually. Something important regarding Ryu."
"Oh good. Because I was about to ask why Ryu looks like someone gave him a beating."
"Oh great not you too.'"
"I exercise daily comrade, and have gotten myself in a pretty good amount of fights in my lifetime. So I know what a Pokemon looks like who just took a punch."
"Hahahahaha! You said 'punch'."
Sylveon shook his head in slight amusement at *Eevee.
"Anyways were we not just discussing Ryu a moment ago? What have we learned so far?"
"Well Lucina said-"
SketchyFrog has joined the call!
"Oh perfect timing Froakie!"
"What the hell who invited him to the groupchat?"
"I did. Anyways Ryu was about to say-"
"I'm sorry Eevee I can't stay long. I only have time to ask you for something important."
"Oh what is it?"
"It's about Fennekin."
Eevee twitched in annoyance at hearing her name I pretended not to notice.
"What about her?"
"She's missing."
"What for how long?!"
"For a few days now. She hadn't been going to school for over a week and she wasn't answering my calls. And when I went to her house her parents said they haven't seen her since four days ago. Can you help me find her, I don't know who else who can help me. She may be my friend but I feel like she'll only listen to you. So Eevee, can you help me?"
"Well technically yes. But don't you think you think you should ask the police about this first?"
"They haven't found her yet. I want to make sure my girlfr- I mean Fennekin is okay. I'm sure she hasn't eaten since then and I can't help but worry about her. Can you please help me? I'll do anything you ask if you do I promise!"
"Okay I'll help. Ryu can you tag along?"
"Why?!"
"What do you mean 'why'? Because of your ability to examine the environment! If we have a better chance of finding her then we need you!"
"Firstly, I barely know how to use it. Secondly, I just mentioned my situation earlier so I don't think it's a good idea to use my aura right now. And finally, based on what I've seen from her, she doesn't seem like a nice pokemon, especially to *Eevee, so why should I stick my neck out for her?"
"She may not be my favorite pokemon right now either, sorry Froakie, but she's still my friend. I just said she wasn't back at the mall because I thought she would apologize. And now she's missing so it's just the right thing to do Ryu!"
"Yeah but-"
"Ryu! Just don't argue with Eevee and comply already. What's the worst that could happen?"
"Thanks Sylveon. But he means his control on his aura. He's afraid he might go out of control if he uses it again."
"Oh well in that case why don't the rest of us come? You know just in case."
"Oh sure that makes me feel very comfortable. Using my friends as restraints in case I go full on demon mode."
"It's for our safety and your own. That's why were all going."
"What?! Since when am I part of all this?! You do know we hate other guts right?! Or are you just that stupid Sylveon?!"
"Just put aside ypur differences just this once and help us. And like we said earlier it's just the right thing to do. That's all were asking of you *Eevee."
"But I never agreed to this!"
"You are coming *Eevee! Please we need all the help we can get!"
"Uggghh! This is a terrible idea!"
"Quit complaining and just come!"
"Fine! But just because all your idiots are going!"
"Just suck it up *Eevee! I may not like it either but I'm still going! So shut up!"
"Don't remind me you dog!"
"Why you-"
"Alright! Stop fighting you two and let's all meet at Central Park in half an hour!"
"Roger Eevee! I'll meet you guys there!"
SylveontheFightingFairy has left the call!
"Okay I'll see you all there."
Mystic/Demon Fighter has left the call!
"Thanks Eevee. You won't regret this!"
"Hope I won't. Seeya there Froakie!"
SketchyFrog has left the call!
"Argh! What did you guys get me into?!"
"We're just finding someone missing. It will be okay I promise."
"Alright already I'll do it! I'll seeya there!"
Iwillkickyourasswithnomercy has left the chat!
"Well time for a night search."
I said as I hung up and quickly put a flashlight in a backpack and snuck out the window.
*8:00pm
"Okay so everyone's here. Are you ready to search?"
"Not at all. But let's go."
Eevee hurriedly walked ahead to see if Ryu's aura would work while I held Sylveon back for a minute.
"What's up Eevee?"
"It's about Ryu."
"I'm listening. What happenned?"
"He said that him and his demon are practically connected now. And he can try to take back control of his body at any given time, but especially when he's in combat. And that's why he's afraid to use his aura because from the looks of it he's probably the most vulnerable whenever he uses his aura."
"I see. Do you have any ideas on how we can try to prevent it from happenning?"
"Just try not to ask him to use his aura so much. And that if he ever loses control again he has almost no chance of stopping it and he can only observe at this point. We just have to be on our guard when it does happen."
" I agree. Right now it's the wisest point of action. We can only try to subdue him when the time comes and hope for the best."
"Sadly yes."
"Ryu? What's wrong?"
"Uh oh, is something happenning?"
"Let's go see."
We approached *Eevee and Ryu, and found him clenching his face while he was trying to stand. We felt a light breeze eminating from him. Was that his aura?
"Argh! This hurts!"
"Don't strain yourself and focus!"
"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M TRYING TO DO?!"
We all flinched back as Ryu spoke, because his voice sounded completely demonic this time. Was he already losing control?
But Ryu merely shook his head in frustration and went back to trying to use his aura.
"I feel air pushing off you. Is that your aura pulsing?"
"Yes it is but my demon is closing off my reserves right now. He's daring me to try and use more so he can take back control. But I need more if I'm going to use it!"
*100 ~ Ryu
*Inside Ryu's aura dimension
I've been in here before but this time something was off about it. It was like someone had cast a curtain inside me. Nearly pitch black from where I was standing. And my aura was nowhere in sight.
"Hehehe! Oh you're back again Ryu? Looking for your aura again are we?"
"Give it back to me you b*ard!! I don't have time for you right now!"
"Oh this little aura you mean?"
He held my blue aura in his palm of paw in mock surrender. It was starting to piss me off. How does he control it so easily?
"Hey give it back to me now!"
"Only if you can grab it!"
The shadow of me started eminating a black and red aura. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and that's when I realized that it was my aura he was using.
I felt like I was losing my strength drastically and I could hardly breathe. He started laughing at my pain. My fist clenched as I summonned a vast majority of aura to it. Making him laugh harder as he saw me trying to fight back.
"Hahaha. See how you crumble so easily when I take control of your life energy? Why don't you just give in already? What's the point of fighting it back when there's only a small chance you'll win at the end? Why not give in to the ultimate power?"
"Argh! Shut up already! Another word out of your mouth and I'll f*ing destroy your vocal cords!"
I readied a Aura Sphere and fired at him. I nearly smiled when it hit him but yelped in pain when I felt agonizing pain flare up my chest.
"Argh! Auuuuggghh!"
"Yet you would rather foolishly fight back while forgetting the effects it does to you. YOU AND I ARE CONNECTED REMEMBER! AND SOMEDAY IT WILL BE ME TAKING THE LEAD!"
He flared my aura even harder making me nearly squeal over in pain.
"YOU WANT IT BACK THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY IT OFF ME!"
He blasted an Aura Sphere at me. I flinched at surprise as it changed to the color of his aura. I covered my head as I braced for it.
PING!
I looked in surprise as I felt something powerful bounce off me. Or not me but a Protect.
"Ryu are you okay?!"
I turned to see a dark silohuette approach me. No not one, but three. And they were all glowing in bright rainbow auras.
"Guys what are you doing in here?"
They looked at me without saying a word.
"Watching their auras is revolting. No darkness in their hearts whatsoever. That's why I want them dead for the influence they have on you."
"They are my friends! I will never let you kill them!"
"Oh and why is that?"
"BECAUSE IF YOU WANT TO KILL THEM YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH ME FIRST!"
I fired another Aura Sphere at him but this time I chased after it.
"What are you doing?!"
"I'M TAKING BACK WHAT'S MINE! AND WE'LL FEEL THE PAIN TOGETHER!"
I jumped at him with all my might and barely braced in time for the attack to hit both of us.
"AAAAAAHHHH!"
"NOW TO TAKE IT BACK!"
I quickly pulled my aura into my palm and absorbed as much aura as I possibly could.
"NOOOOOOO!"
I was blasted away by his aura and was casted back into the light.
Ryu wake up!"
I jerked forward and instantly started clenching my head.
"Augh...What happenned?"
"You just fainted on us. We were worried we might have to Revive you."
"Yeah. How did that happen?"
"I was just fighting to get back my aura. I think I have just enough to try and find Fennekin now."
"That's great. But are you sure you can do it?"
"I'm sure. Now everyone stand back."
I placed a palm on my forehead and with great effort my eye vision started to change from normal colors to only seeing blue and grey.
"Nice eye colors partner."
"Thanks."
Concentrating was going to be the hard part. A bead a sweat slid down my forehead as I remembered my past struggles. I pushed past my limits and steadily started moving my vision forward about 20 yards away.
After searching for about 5 minutes I recognized the familiar aura.
"I found her!"
More sweat slid down as I tried to see her exact location.
"You did?! Where is she?!"
And after feeling sudden drowsiness and pain I found her.
"Augh! About 25 yards south..."
I said before I lost my ability to stand. When I felt someone catch me and looked up to see *Eevee.
Everyone else was already headed in the direction I pointed but she stayed behind for a minute. I deactivated my vision as exhaustion was wearing in.
"I did good?"
"Yeah. You did. I'm going to leave you here for a minute so you can rest. I'll come back to check up on you soon. So don't go anywhere."
"Okay."
I said before she walked off and my eyelids gave into deep sleep.
(Note : What will happen when they find Fennekin? Find out in Ch 101 ~ *Eevee!)
