Update! Yay for update! Everyone do the Update dance! (Spins in three circles, then hits face off desk)
Sorry 'bout that. I'm just glad I got the most confusing chapter ever written in the history of chapters of Fanfiction about reborn done. Now to thank the reviewers: TJay-Drag-Latios'of'the'Cookie, Music-Warrior-Nightsong, Diego Zeyon, and Wings that bring the fate. Thanks!
Disclaimer: This chapter contains preposterous amounts of confusion. If, at any time, you start to feel like your are missing some piece of important information, don't worry. I don't know that information either. (It's kind of like the blind driving the blind in a train on a large mountain with no prior knowledge on how to drive a train.)
I found myself floating in the endless blackness I have come to know a little too well. "What's this?" I asked the darkness. "Did I pass another test?"
"No." I turned around and saw two beings this time. One was a small green fairy; Celebi. The other was a giant caterpillar, darkness surrounding it; Giratina.
The Celebi spoke, and it was its voice that I heard say no. "You were killed as you slept that night. The man slit your trainer's throats, plus the Surskit's. The Lotad drowned the Eevee and doused your flame, freezing you to death. He always gets his victims that way."
"What?" I asked. It was hard to believe. I'm alive for one day and already I die again. It sounded too cruel.
You are dead. You have been for over three months. You will stay dead unless you can reverse your death. This was a telepathic voice, and it threw me off a bit. Then I released that it came from Giratina. Celebi is here to let you try again. But if you fail this time too, you shall come with me and we shall find another who can do what you can.
I did not reply to what Giratina said. 'Another who can do what you can.' What did that mean? I was chosen for something? What?
"Boy? Are you ready?" I nodded, still trying to think what I could have been chosen for. "Remember, as a spirit in a past, you can do nothing physically. Also, since you already exist there in yourself, you will have to find a vessel that will accept you." Celebi paused, and I listened, waiting to here what else she would say. "This world is the same as your own that you died in. It will also affect your own world. But it is not the one you died in. Remember that. The world you are entering will not exist after you are done."
I nodded, and felt a tingling sensation run up my spine. Next thing I knew, I was floating above the group of us as they/we hiked through the forest to the small cabin. I saw myself as I had been, traveling in the back with Mel and Naru. It was weird. Almost like something you'd see in a movie. It also seemed like I was experiencing déjà vu.
Celebi had said something about not being able to be me. So that mean's I have to find some way to influence these events from outside a body or I'd have to possess someone in our group. This was going to be tougher than I thought.
It took them about fifteen minutes to reach the cabin. That gave me enough time to come up with a plan. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with one. My mind was still tangled up in all of what apparently happened to me.
Then I thought of something. What if this was one of the tests? No, wait. Giratina sounded way to serious for it to be an elaborate test. But maybe Giratina is just that way. Maybe it is a test.
But it can't be, I reminded myself. I'm actually floating above my body. It might be confusing, but it's certainly not a test.
They entered the building, and I floated after them, quieting down my arguing self. I saw Mel go over to a corner and curl up. I also saw James and Alex put the man down on a small bed along one of the sides. Naru and myself were still at the door. Now would be a good time to try and prevent whatever was going to happen from happening, but I wanted to wait until the time that was about to happen.
And almost as if on cue, time sped up, and I was left at the time of the murder. I saw the man get up out of the bed, and the Lotad coming from under the bed. The man drew a small knife from his pocket, and walk over to where the two trainers were resting on the floor. The Lotad advanced on to me, lying not far from Melody.
How was I supposed to stop this from happening? I decided to try and wing it. I floated at a running pace, and tried to slam into the Lotad. All that actually happened was I fazed through him and he sneezed. Which woke me up. I must have saw the man going after the trainers, because I charged at the man, yelling a battle cry I had heard on a television show.
The trainers woke up as I tackled the man, and then the scene started to dissipate. You were right Celebi. He can hold his own. I am glad he could bring himself back.
"Yes. I saw that he could revive himself. How he did it might have been unconventional, but he did do it."
Unconventional? He did it the only way that would give him his life back. You know how Possession works. You were wrong to tell him what you did.
"Sorry, Giratina. But I wanted to see if…"
No more talk. Let him awaken. He will see that we have helped him in more ways than one.
I didn't remember being at that conversation, but I do remember it happening. I didn't know what they meant, or what Celebi wanted to see, but I did know this: I passed two more tests.
So, now the confusing is over. how 'bout a review? Tell me the most confusing part of this chapter (besides the whole thing), and tell me why it was confusing. This has no influence over me at all; I just want to see which part was the most confusing.
Grammar? Spelling? Tell me about it!
