Chapter 5: The Tale of the Shadows
Several years ago in 2062…
"Doctor Chandra to Science Lab Forty-Four; you are needed urgently; Doctor Chandra to Science Lab Forty-Four." The PA rang out amongst the laboratory. Doctor Sivasubramanian Chandrasegarampillai was already on his way to the science lab, he had been paged five minutes earlier but had been delayed by a line at the maglev-tram. "I'm already on my fucking way," he mumbled under his breath. He rounded a corner and was greeted by the metal door to the most secure lab in all of Orre. He slid his cardkey through the security scanner, the door unlocked with a clang and he rushed through. He stopped short as he saw the pair of red eyes glued on him.
"Where am I, answer me now!" a powerful psychic voice boomed through his head. "You are at a secure location off the coast of Orre," Doctor Chandra said, slowly edging back toward the door. "What is my purpose here?" the voice boomed again. "Your purpose is to help team Nova take over Orre," Chandra answered gradually getting more confident, he had stopped edging toward the door, "you will be let out of this laboratory in a few minutes. We must first make sure you are not sick or injured." "Alright," the voice responded. Doctor Chandra breathed a sigh of relief. "Well? What are you waiting for? Get to work!" he barked at the researchers, who were gawking in awe at the form in the cloning chamber. "Doctor," a female scientist said to Chandra, "Shadow Lugia is healthy. He can be released from the cloning chamber." "Good release him into the care of Doctor Stimson," Chandra responded, with that he walked out of the room. He wondered when he second Shadow Lugia would awaken.
Several years later in 2076…
"So this is the famed Shadow Lugia who will lead us to greatness! He looks kind of weak," Master Janström said as he looked over Shadow Lugia. "I can assure that I am not weak," Shadow Lugia said as he circled around Master Janström, "you don't look that intelligent." "I can assure you that I am quite intelligent," Master Janström stated. The second Shadow Lugia landed in front of Master Janström, "if you trust us, we'll trust you and we'll work together as an efficient team. Mistrust us and you'll be in trouble." "I trust you two. Do you trust me?" Master Janström asked. "We do," both Shadow Lugia answered.
One year later in 2077…
"We have crushed all resistance and now we have Orre in our grasp. We have completed our program and we must now eliminate our weapons… Destroy the Shadow Lugias!" Comrade Party Leader was shouting at the top of his lungs.
"We must escape now," the male Shadow Lugia said to the female Shadow Lugia his mate; and with that they flew away from Orre and headed north.
Several years later in 2080…
"And finally to recap our top story, the Nova Regime has fallen. This is ONBS Free Radio One, now to music with…" the radio was turned off. "Did you hear that? Orre is free! We can finally return," the disguised Shadow Lugia said to his disguised mate. "No, I want to stay here," she replied. "Alright, let us return to our home," the male answered. With that the two Lugia disguised as humans began the walk to the subway station.
One year later in 2081…
"This is an emergency broadcast from CNRT Petropavlosk State Radio. The regions of Orre, Sinnoh, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and the Orange Archipelago have declared war on one another. We are not at war but travel to those regions is not advised. Now back to your music program," the radio said. The two disguised Lugia then looked at each other and said simultaneously, "it is a good thing we didn't go back to Orre."
In the present; 2084…
The two Shadow Lugia had been warned ahead of time of the arrival of another Lugia. They were ready for the Lugia's arrival. And they knew this was the Great Guardian. "I hope he is trustworthy," the male Shadow Lugia said. "He is the Great Guardian of the Oceans; I'm sure he is," the female Shadow Lugia said to her mate. The male hugged his mate, they looked out of the cave at the sky looking for the two Lugia.
(¶: Well there you have it another fine chapter in this fanfic. And here we know that there was a resurgence of a Cipher like crime syndicate in Orre, and that the created two Shadow Lugia (one male, one female). Both of which will be important in the story. And also you might notice that they seem to have purified themselves.)
