Chapter 7
Reasons
Glitch's POV
"You," it begins, "are a murderer and a terrorist,"
"What?"
"You have created dozens of new destructive species, which have probobly killed hundreds, if not thousands,"
"What are you talking about?"
"You created those corruptive rocks, turning the majority of people on our planet into violent, murderous beasts like you,"
"WH-"
"And when you failed to control our home, you turned to these innocent creatures, attempting the same here,"
"What the heck are you talking about?"
The blue thing chuckles softly.
"Look," I shout, "I don't know who you are, but I really don't know what you're talking about! Honest!"
Corruptive rocks? Home world? What the heck?
"I have lived here my whole life. I think you have the wrong guy."
"How old are you, Glitch?"
This question hits me like a stone.
"Um... about 15. Why?"
"This city's only been around five years. So you can't have lived here your whole life."
"What are you talking about?"
"You are not one of the... 'pokemon' as they're called here. You weren't born here. You come from a different world,"
"What?"
The thing sighed.
"What?" I ask, curious as to what it will say.
"You came from the same place as me. You didn't want to have to pay for the crimes you committed on your own world, so you fled to here through a molecular teleporter. You attempted to use the teleporter to change your genetic structure into what you are now. However, this almost completely failed, as the teleporter only has so much time to rebuild your structure, and rewriting a genetic code is difficult for it. Thus, you lost your memory and was, in a word, glitchy. Despite having lost all memory of your former self, you continued to try and rule this world as you did ours, but Agent Shavings fought you, and defeated you, I might add. Your defeat, for reasons our researchers have yet to discover, fixed the glitch in your system, but completely wiped your memory clean, destroying what you used to be, and making you an entirely new person,"
There is a long pause.
I burst out laughing.
"What have you been smoking out there?" I laugh.
The thing punches me in the face, knocking me back again.
"This is not a lie," it scowls.
"Well, then, who are you and what do you have to do with it?"
It laughs.
"I was the one who defeated you on our own world. I, my friend, am Seretni,"
Suddenly, there's a loud crash, as if glass had just been shattered.
We both look to where the sound came from, and see a bunch of what looks like glass or ice shards.
And standing in the middle of it all
is Crystal.
