Addiction 4: The Secret – Pt. 2

Silverus woke up. He stretched off and looked outside of the cave. A lovely fresh scent in the air greeted him. Lugia also awoke and stood by and looked out. Silverus sighed a little. They were still in the human world. They needed to get back home before they were captured.

"Come on, we don't belong here. Do you know when the portal opens?"

"Can't be sure... It comes and goes." Lugia noted.

"That's a pain..."

"Yes. We can't stay here; these humans will catch us and kill us..."

Then, suddenly, Lugia's eyes widened.

"Wait, I'm sensing something! It's the portal! Only problem is that it's the other side of the city."

"Well, we're just going to have to risk it..."

Lugia gave Silverus one last unsure look before they both leapt off and out of the cave. They flew high to avoid being seen, although not for long. Soon Silverus spotted two jets climbing towards them.

"Lugia, we have two fighter jets incoming..."

"Fighter jet? What's that?"

"Now, it's a problem. If those things get up here, we're done for."

"They can kill us?"

"Well, they do tend to kill people in wars..."

Lugia looked back. One fired a missile but he just dodged it.

"Okay, that's it, you don't mess with me! These humans are seriously getting on my nerves!"

Lugia turned round and powered up Aeroblast in his mouth. Silverus did the same on the other jet. The blasts fired and destroyed the jets. Only the lead pilot ejected and survived. Silverus looked back at the portal at the other side of the city.

"Let's go, we've created enough trouble here. And believe me; humans have much more powerful weapons than this." said Silverus worryingly, but with hope.

Lugia nodded and they flew towards the portal and stopped at the entrance. Lugia took one last look at the human world and said,

"Let's go home..."

With that, the brothers flew in the portal. Before they knew it they were in the pokemon world, just before the portal vanished behind them.

Once they were through, Silverus looked down and spotted the Whirl Islands below. He dived down and Lugia followed. Silverus landed on the tallest island and looked upon his kingdom. Lugia landed softly beside him.

"It's good to be back home..."

"Sure is..."

Silverus immediately leapt of the cliff and started to fly around the islands. Lugia followed and flew in formation with him. It was the most joyful time of his life, back with his brother, and for him too. They played games and contests for who could go the fastest. It was all a great experience for them. Lugia had been re-united with his lost brother. To him it was the best thing in the world.

After hours of flying, they finally landed at the cave where they were first born, years ago. Silverus took a thoughtful look at the cave and a tear poked in his eye.

"I remember our family, all those years ago, mother and father, you, and our wonderful nest. I remember it all..." said Silverus with a tinge of sadness.

"They won't be missed. And anyway, you should be happy, not sad. They aren't gone; they are in a better place. Eternal life is a gift, and we all have it with us, and will face it, one day or another." replied Lugia, trying to make Silverus feel better.

Lugia put his wing around Silverus' shoulders.

"Okay, take it this way. The truth is - you'll never be lonely again."

This made Silverus break into tears of happiness. He hugged Lugia as hard as he could. Lugia also started to get teary.

"And, you've always got your brother, always..." finished Lugia, now just as teary as Silverus.

Silverus nuzzled Lugia.

"I'll never love anything else in the world from you Lugia. Just remember that..."

They finished hugging and rested together as the stars came out. They pointed out all the star constellations. Then Lugia looked further and smiled...

"And that's us. Look Silverus, we're there. And so are mother and father, all there. Everything that has ever existed is there. They're all safe, all secure. All up there." said Lugia happily

Silverus smiled and lay down.

"Well, at least we're safe."

Lugia lay next to him.

"Yeah..."

"Goodnight Lugia..."

"Goodnight Silverus, my great bro."

With that they both smiled at each other and both rested and got to sleep. Tomorrow was a big day, and they needed their sleep.
