Yes, I know. For the 40ish people that read this, I'm sorry for not updating earlier this weekend. Got sick with what my dad had so I wasn't able to write it. However, I'm feeling better now, but since I am at my moms, I'm writing this on mobile again sadly :(
The lines will be added tomorrow after I get outta school. (Nevermind. You can put lines down on mobile now)
Anyways, thanks for reading, and thanks Noskills for the review :D
Last thing, I might change Cindy's name since I might of found a better one. Give Suggestions by PMing me or put it in the reviews, if I decide against the name that i had thought of.

Serin's POV
My eyes slowly fluttered open, revealing that it was dark in the room. With the little strength I had, I arched myself up so I'd be able to look outside. As I sat up, I heard the sound of someone yawning. "Hello, anybody there...?" I whispered.
The yawning instantly stopped and turned to the new sound of footsteps. Hoping a was with Akuma and his girlfriend, I held my breath in anticipation, only for a Vaporeon morph to show up. "Hey Serin, are you doing alright?" She asked, her voice sounding heavenly.
"Yeah, but I have a few questions. First off, who are you. And secondly, how do you know my name?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My name is Cerulean, I'm Kandi's sister. I met you a week ago when you and two others came here via chopper. After Akuma bit you - safely injecfing the virus into your system - you had fainted for the transportation to happen. And from the looks of it, you're a Zoroark morph, though will shorter hair and without the claws." She replied, yawning after finishing what she was saying.
I felt my head and grabbed some of my hair pulling it towards me to see that was our black with the tips blood red. Not wanting a ponytail like an actually Zoroak, I looked around for my bag which I eventually found and opened it to pull out half empty water bottle, the rest evaporated. Sighing, I opened it and poured some of the liquid on my hand. I started running my hand though my hair, having it stick upwards in a fohawk.
In doing so, I remember how thirsty I was from being unconscious for a week, so I grabbed the bottle and chugged down the rest of the water. I put the cap back on the now empty plastic bottle and reached towards my bag, putting it in the pouch I had it in originally. After I had put it back, I laid my head back down on the bed, bringing a question to my mind. "Cerulean, I'm assuming this is your bed. If it is, where did you sleep?" I asked.
She just chuckled and said "On my couch since I knew it'd be awkward to sleep in the same bed with somebody that doesn't know you and that's unconscious. Now go back to sleep, you need your rest. Your body is still weak from the transformation. I'll get food for you in the morning also since I know you're probably hungry."
Before I could reply, she put the blankets back over me and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight Serin. Sleep well." She whispered, a slight blush appearing on her face.
I smiled at the gesture and replied "You too Cerulean. Thank you for caring for me over the last week." She returned the smile and made her way back to the couch she had been sleeping on. "Wow, Kandi's sister is damn good looking, and really caring. Wouldn't mind being a couple. Can't get my hopes up, and I have a girlfriend anyways. Gotta skype her since I know that she doesn't know about me becoming a morph. Most likely is thinking I'm still out fighting and that Akuma is dead."
I quickly noticed how tired I was since being unconscious is different from sleeping and that I got no rest in the last week, it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
(Time Skip)
I awoke once again to the quiet sound a shower going. Knowing it was Cerulean, I took the blankets off and swung my legs off the bed to where they were on the ground. I stood up and tried to walk towards where I saw Cerulean go originally, but stumbled and tripped instantly. When I hit the ground, the thud it made was probably loud enough for the Vaporeon morph to hear and quicken her shower. Sighing, I told myself "Dumbass... You should of waited for her since she knows what life as a morph is like. Most likely a different bone structure, though it feels normal..."
I stayed seated on the bed for about 15 more minutes before hearing the sound of a door opening. I rose my head up to see Cerulean walking in the room. I nodded at her and asked "Could you help me? I can't exactly stand right, and I don't know why."
She just laughed and said "You have a different bone structure now. You'll get use to it. Stand up and put your arm around my neck. I'll take you there, but first, give me a second." She put her hand in her pocket and pulled it out, her phone in hand. After unlocking the device, she made a phone call. "Hey Kandi, can you and Akuma meet me at the eating grounds...? Mhm... Okay. See you then." I heard the phone hang up, causing her to turn it off and put it back in her pocket. "C'mon. Lets meet my sister and your friend." I nodded and stood up, wrapping my arm around her neck for balance. "Oh, one more thing. Once we get there, I'm going to have you try and walk."
I just sighed and said "Alright. Just catch me if I fall."
We slowly, but surely made our way to the site, Kandi and Akuma coming to sight, Kandi resting her head on my friend's shoulder. Once we reached the chair on the other side of the table, we sat down, the couple in front of us looking at me weirdly. "So Serin, decided you didn't want a ponytail like an actual Zoroark, huh?" Akuma said, trying to keep from laughing.
"Hey, least I don't have rings that glow 24/7." I retorted.
Akuma just started smiling, the glow from his rings dying down. "I can control the neon in my rings you know. Speaking of which, once you don't need help to walk, you need to test if your illusions work, with you being a Zoroark and all."
I gave the statement a thought before saying "It could be useful when we go back on missions. You turning your rings' glow off, and me using my illusions to fuck over the enemies."
Both Kandi and Cerulean looked at me, there heads tilted in confusion. Seconds after, Kandi turned to Akuma, tears swelling up in her eyes. "So what he's saying is that you two only became morphs to help the military?"
My friend's ears went down as he pulled his girlfriend into a hug and started saying "I became a morph from almost dying. I have the two mechanical limbs as proof. I didn't know I was still going to help the military out after becoming a morph until Serin had told me. It's why I said I'd do only Stealth Missions, so that I could always come back, normally unharmed. Serin became a morph to join me in this life, but to also help the military."
I nodded and said "You see, the reason I want to help the military is so I can stop those terrorists back in the Orre region. And knowing Akuma, he'd also want to help." I looked towards Akuma to see him looking down, the girls noticing also.
He lifted his head back up before saying "I don't know if I could anymore." He sighed and started to move his right arm and continued saying "I have a feeling that the limbs would make too much noise and I'm not able to completely shut the neon off in my body."
At that exact moment, I remember something. I stood up quickly and took a few steps to know I could walk easily now. "Stay here, guys, Cerulean, can I have your keys to your dorm? I need to grab my bag for something." The Vaporeon morph nodded and tossed me her keys. After catching them, I sprinted towards her living quarters and unlocked the door. I went into her bedroom, grabbing my backpack from next to her desk, and heading back outside. I locked the door back up and jogged towards the eating grounds, to see Trip now starting to fry some eggs. Huffing, I sat down and put the backpack in my lap, unzipping it. I pulled out some instructions, a small techno plate out, and a screwdriver. "Akuma, come here." He obeyed and walked towards me. "Sleeve up." Once it was up, I read the instructions and saw what I had to do. "Open the compartment out and remove the knife. I have a program for you that goes under the knife area." Obeying again, he opened the compartment open and removed the 12 inch hunting knife. I got my screwdriver in hand and the electronic board in the other, ready to be put in. I unscrewed the tiny, almost unnoticeable screws. Once all four were out, gave them to Cindy to hold. I saw the little area and put the board in. Once in, I put the compartment 'flooring' in over it, and took the screws one by one, locking the two parts into place. "We're all good, Put the knife back in and we can close it." Akuma closed it and headed back to his seat next to Kandi.
We continued chatting for a while before Trip came over with some plates, a single egg on all of them except one. As he approached us and noticed me, he said "Uhhhh... Hello. May I ask who you are?"
Joking around a little, I said smirking "What? Don't remember me coming here via chopper a week ago? That sucks."
"Ok jackass, be that way. Anyways, I'll go get another plate. You can have my second egg. I can go with one for now." Trip retorted.
I nodded and replied "Thanks man."
I waited patiently for Trip to return with my fork and plate, so I could eat. "Damn, I just noticed how hungry I am. Not eating for a week really kicks you." I said to myself.
Akuma just started laughing and replied "Try no water or food for a month. Now that's a real bitch. With that, I also learned how amazing Ratatta taste."
I just stared at my friend. "What? I was stuck in the middle of nowhere and needed to eat something." He said, shrugging.
While I continued just staring at him, Kandi joined and said "He isn't wrong. Ratatta doesn't taste bad at all."
I just rolled my eyes as Trip came back with the plate and utensil. "Here you go man." He said, scraping his second egg off of his plate and onto mine.
"Time to chow down guys!"
Thanks everybody for reading the seventh chapter of Final Stand.
