Hey guys. I'm quiting this story.

Honestly, I can't seem to be able to find anything more creative and win to bring to the table, so I'm stopping this.

...

...

...

So? DID YOU GET A HEARTATTACK OR WHAT?

If so, then now I know that I'm doing a good job with this story ;D

Sorry for scaring anyone!

But I am absolutely NOT giving up on my stories!

So here's the latest chapter of STARS!

Songs that would go well with this chapter would be, Megurine Luka - Luka Luka Night Fever! or Kagamine Rin - Meltdown!

Oh yeah, sorry if there's spelling mistakes of the sort! Most of this was written on my iPod!

-DARREN'S CHAPTER-

"Yes." I nodded sagely, crossing my arms, "Latios and Latias are real."

Gasp and murmurs of amazement shook the room (that was void of any non-STARS, since its past closing time).

"Wait a second!" The voice of Bianca echoed behind me, her figure appearing a few seconds later as she brushed past my team members, "Are you saying that you four met Latios and Latias in the flesh?"

I shared a look with Jacob before nodding my head, "Yeah! My Swampert and I fought the red one!"

"That's Latias." Jacob whispered to me.

I rolled my eyes and exaggerated my next words, "Well whatever!"

Bianca looked disheartened. She looked at Sam before mentioning to her to join us, "No matter how much I want to properly introduce your four to them—just so that they know you mean no harm!—I have more important orders from Lance to get you for your next mission."

"But what about Latios and Latias?" Jason asked as he raised his arm.

Bianca looked back and forth between the two groups before sighing and grudgingly saying, "Alright, while you four are out on the mission. We will introduce the rest to the Eons. But we will also have to fill in those of you who don't know about them! Then we will take two teams at a time to meet them, just to be safe!"

Tyson suddenly raised his hand amongst the growing chatter. He waited for the teacher to call on him before asking, "Are you insinuating that you know them too?"

Bianca smiled mysteriously, closing her eyes as if almost recalling a memory, "I know Latias. But the Latioses are still very young."

Whispers, shared looks, and then—

"Holy crap!" Jacob suddenly exclaimed right next to me. "It all suddenly makes sense! The Latios... there are two of them!"

Bianca scowled at him (probably for being so sudden) before she nodded approvingly, "That's right. There are two Latioses."

-LINEBIATCH-

"Alright you four. Have you decided on a team name yet?"

We all shared looks before shaking our heads in sync.

A team nickname is something that everybody needs, as to avoid confusion and looooong moments of anger and annoyance ("Can team Darren, LeiMei, Jacob, Sam... well forget this. Anyone have nicknames for their teams? I'm very annoyed at having to say everyone's name every five seconds of everyday." Lance had said at the time over the intercom, "Oh yeah, can those aforementioned four please come to the office?")

"Well hurry up then. It can't take forever to decide on a team name. It can be Pink Unicorns for all I care." Lance scowled at us, not even embarrassed at saying Pink Unicorns, like he should be.

"Let's do it!" I chirped with a fist pump.

"NO!" Came the synced automatic response that came with years of being with my team.

They're so nice, aren't they?

I was being sarcastic.

"Well hurry up and pick one." Lance gave us his famous ordering glare before shifting the papers on his desk, "I'll give you until the end of your mission to find a name. If you don't, I pick one for you."

"Aye aye sir!" Sam saluted with a crooked grin, "Are we deemed ready to go?"

Lance nodded before ushering us out with ha flicker of his hand, "Yes, now go before I change my mind!"

-LINEBIATCH-

"I LOST THE GAME!" I yelled to the Dragonite flying above me. I was on my Swampert, happily being dragged through the water as my team lagged above me, enjoying the clear skies. Our mission wasn't one of those dramatic ones where you need to go save something or someone right away. Here it's an information mission that might twist into retrieving.

So to give you the right information, I will now quote Lance: "There are rumours that the Wynaut on Mirage Island are getting extinct. I want you four to go on that island and see if it's true. Be sure to pack for at least a few days worth; you might be there a while before you actually spot them. Be sure to contact one of us every morning and night if you decide to stay."

"GOSH DANG IT DARREN!" Sam yelled from above and I could distinctly see the shaking of her small fist, "STOP DOING THAT!"

"BUT IT'S FUN!" I yelled back, mocking the backstroke with a grin as I gaze up from the waters.

"DARREN!" Jacob called down to me as his Pokémon plunged until it was a few meters next to me, hovering safely above the light waves, "YOU DON'T MIND IF I SHOVE SAM OFF OF DRAGONITE, DO YOU?"

"I DON'T!" I replied with an evil grin.

"W-WHAT?" The girl screeched in alarm, pushing back against the male's arms, "NO! I'M NOT WEARING A BATHING SUIT!"

"YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ONE!" He retorted, turning in his seat to properly push her off, "BON VOYAGE!"

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" She yelled at the last minute, grabbing onto his wrist and tugging him down with her, "YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!"

And so they both splashed in next to me.

"Guys!" I whined playfully, "You got me all wet!"

"You're already wet!" Lei rolled her eyes at me, sidling closer to Dragonite's neck for a better grip now that she was alone on the creature.

I wiggled my eyebrows at her, "Exactly!"

-LINEBIATCH-

"Here we are..." LeiMei declared as she jumped off the dragon, patting his head lightly as thanks, "...Mirage Island!"

I collapsed on the sand next to her, my Swampert staying in the water and doing laps for fun, "Easy for you to say. I had to drag Sam and Jacob with me the entire way back." I shifted and sent a glare to the duo behind me. "Thanks for making me do all the work!"

"No problem, dude!" Jacob sent me a thumbs up before taking a seat next to me, happily joining me in watching Sam as she dragged herself a few feet in the sand before collapsing face first.

"I... hate... you... guys..." She groaned, lifting her head enough to send us a glare.

We beamed back and spoke in perfect practiced sync, "We love you too!" We would usually pull her into a hug at this point, but seeing as we were exhausted, I let my sore body fall back to the soft golden grains.

Considering that I'm not a beach person, this is oddly relaxing.

"Alright guys!" Lei clapped her hands to grab our attention before putting them on her hips as she stared at us with authority, "First thing first! Let's set up camp!"

Way to ruin the mood.

"Can't we just relax first?" From what I could tell, Jacob pulled himself up on his elbows and smiled charmingly at the girl behind us, "Or how about we play a game or something? Let's have fun!"

I tilted my head in time to see her scowl, already used to his antics of trying to charm her into doing what he wants. Lei just so happens to be the unofficial leader of the group, and the rest of us are too busy bickering and tossing each other into lakes to really mind it.

"Okay, okay, so camp." Jacob finally caved, pulling his body into a standing position and then going up to his Dragonite and petting him to the death.

"Good." Lei smiled in satisfaction before walking up to the edge of the sand where the larger rocks were. "Since the sun is going to come down soon, I say we hurry up and make a camp fire. We might as well sleep under the stars while we're here; there's not a single cloud in the sky!"

"Sounds good!" Sam dragged herself to the rocks with the help of her Ninetails.

"Good idea, Sam!" I said before jumping to my own feet and tossing out my last Pokéball, "Let's go Happiny!"

The small pink ball of cuteness appeared, twirling around happy from being out of her Pokéball. Swampert, once seeing the uber cuteness that is Happiny, came onto the sand filled ground and laid nearby, squirting little water guns at her whenever she came too close.

"Play nice, Swampert!" I called just in time to see Jacob's Lucario and Sam's Zangoose go at it again. Zangoose was too proud, thus it lead to attack Lucario whenever they saw each other. I quickly scooped up Happiny and sat down next to Swampert so that we could be safe.

"We should stop it..."

"I got it covered." Lei magically appeared next to me like a ninja. I looked up at her as she extended her arm with a pointed finger, "Go Shadow! Shadow Sneak them apart!"

The Dusclops—which I haven't noticed until now—vanished from her side and reappeared at the fighting Pokémon's sides. He grabbed the Zangoose with one paw and then suddenly slid into a hole that appeared at their feet. Lucario looked around in surprise before jumping back to his owner.

Samantha was just as miffed, "What the heck? Lei! Why would you do that? It was about to get good!"

"Yeah Lei!" Jacob agreed.

"We've got better things to do!" Shadow and the Zangoose appeared a few feet behind Sam, so Lei pointed at them, "Sam, return your Pokémon if all you're going to do is fight! Until night time, only one Pokémon out!"

"Sorry Swampert..." I recalled him, since it would be much easier to carry around my smaller Pokémon in my arms. Besides, he was out the whole day swimming, the lucky creature.

Jacob recalled his Dragonite, while Sam returned her Zangoose. LeiMei stayed with her Dusclops, and we were all ready to set up the camp fire.

"Let's go get some wood then. Who wants to stay here and wait for us to set up the logs?"

Sam lifted her arm in the air the second the girl finished talking, "I will! Besides, Ninetails will be the one taking care of the fire anyway!"

"I'll get small branches, twigs, or anything of the sort!" I offered, knowing that my Happiny wouldn't be able to knock down trees with just a pound attack, but branches she might. She was still pretty young, you know.

"Okay then, we'll take care of getting logs." Jacob nodded at Lei, who nodded back before they vanished into the foliage. I followed after them, still holding onto Happiny who was singing some tune from Justin Beiber that was unfortunately playing this morning. Not that I hate him or anything, it's just really annoying.

"Jacob, how tall are you?" I asked in pure randomness, wanting something to do instead of listening to the Beiber fan in my arms.

He turned back to me with a smirk, "5 feet 11, jealous?"

I scowled at my own 5 feet 6, "Yus. Very."

Lei tsked, "Men."

Jacob shoved her arm lightly, "Women."

I grinned and joined them, "Friends."

-LINEBIATCH-

"Woa!" I exclaimed, dropping all the sticks on the little camp fire already lit, "You guys work fast!"

"You also took longer!" Jacob said from one of the logs transformed into a make shift bench. I joined him, feeling out of place with the girls.

"Guess what." I started with a light grin.

He raised a curious eyebrow, "What?"

"SURVIVOR STARTS TOMORROW!"

"No way!" Sam exclaimed with a gasp, "I WANTED TO SEE IT!" She pouted, "But we're stuck on this island on this mission for a few days."

"I know right?" I sighed and let my chin drop in my hands, "It's so depressing."

"You know." Jacob piped up, "Don't you think this is kinda ironic?"

"How so?" Sam asked, tilting her head slightly to look around the fire.

"Think about it." Lei leaned back and looked up to the skies where the stars were shining, "Survivors is a show about castaways stuck on an island. Look at us." She gestured at us then the island in general, "We're on this once-in-an-lifetime island, and we're going to survive here until we find what we need."

"You're right." I smiled and joined her at looking at the skies, "It's really similar. All we need is a camera man or something, and then we can make a movie about this or something."

"Darn!" Sam hissed, snapping her fingers, "I knew I should've brought my camera!"

Grins, and then we all burst into a symphony of laughter.

-LINEBIATCH-

"Happiny!" The little ball of pinkness jumped on me, forcing me to wake up and roll out of the way if I wanted to keep my ribs intact. "Happy-nyy!"

"Good morning to you too, Happiny." I moaned, sinking my face further in the soft grainy ground...

WHEN DID I FALL ASLEEP ON THE BEACH?

"Pipiny!" The little loveable creature jumped on my back this time. I rolled back to my back and caught her in time. She giggled and flailed happily, just like the little happy creature that she is. Lucky her she's so happy all the time.

Sniff. I want to go watch Survivors.

And then play Mario Party.

Sniff snifffff.

"Aw..." LeiMei knelt in front of my face, a sly grin on her features, "Is someone sad today?"

"Yes." I faked a sniffle, "Now go away."

"Nah. I don't feel like it." She observed a painted nail before swiftly grabbing onto my arm and dragging me off somewhere. "You're coming with me."

Not even trying to get out of her grip, I asked, "Where are you dragging me?"

"Somewhere..."

"Where somewhere?"

She pointed to the beach where we used to be, since I was now being dragged in the forest, "Not over there."

"And where is that?"

"Nowhere."

I winced at the rocks on my back, "Nowhere?"

"Somewhere."

"We're talking in circles here."

"I know. It's annoying."

"Then just tell me where you're dragging me."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because you're annoying."

"That's so nice."

"Bite me."

"No thanks. I don't eat people."

"Can't you stop talking?"

"Nah. I want to be annoying to the people who like dragging me nowhere."

"Thanks. I feel so loved."

"No problem."

"I was sarcastic."

"I know." I groaned when Happiny head butted me when she wiggled in my free arm. "Where are you—"

"We're here." She cut me off, effectively dropping the small part of me that got lifted back into the sand, "Not shudup and go join the others."

"Sheesh." I whined playfully, "So mean."

She rolled her eyes before pointing at what were in front of. I lifted myself up to my knees and peered at it.

...how the heck did a cave ended up on this island?

"I never knew there was a cave in Mirage Island." I repeated my inner thoughts.

She nodded sagely, "We know. But Sam and Jacob are already inside and searching. I told them I would wait for you to wake up before joining them." She nudged me with her foot, "So are you ready to go inside?"

"What's inside?" I asked, gripping Happiny tighter to me in anticipation. I was almost tempted to unleash Swampert and just drown the whole thing. But yes, I know that would cruel to Sam and Jacob. Even if they do deserve it.

I'm kidding!

Or am I?

Lei shrugged in response.

"Okay," I got up, letting Happiny on the ground as she hopped over to the cave. I brushed the sand off my pants and stretched for a few seconds (eff you, rocks) before joining Lei at the mouth of the cave, "Let's go."

-LINEBIATCH-

"So where exactly are we supposed to meet up with Sam and Jacob?" I asked, running a hand along the long wall of the dark cave as Lei lead me down multiple turns and twist that would've gotten me lost if I would've gone alone. Happiny was asleep in my free arm, cuddling into my shirt every time a drop of water landed on her face. Lei magically had a flashlight in hand, and was leading us everywhere.

The spooky part of it all?

The odd drawings on the wall. They looked like letters, and all of them had a little eyeball somewhere on it. It was spooky to just be near it.

My hand brushed against some letters.

They started to glow a bright green colour.

SECRETS ARE NEVER TO BE TOLD

I gasped and backed up, furiously poking at Lei to turn the heck around and look at what I had just accidentally done!

"What did you do?" She hissed, shaking my by my shoulders, "Didn't I tell you not to touch anything? Who knows what could happen!"

"Um..." I paled and pointed behind her, "...what the heck is that...?"

She turned and I could hear her gasp. I looked back at the glowing green letters and my eyes widened when they opened up a secret path.

"Lei!" I grabbed her arm and pulled her behind me, "This way!"

"What the heck was that thing?" She wheezed once the secret passage closed its door behind us, locking the large furious creature outside, "It looked so familiar!"

It was true... The large creature was heading straight at us with large shining silver blades of death. Its head was covered in a rock-hard, semicircle-shaped armor. A tail protruded from its back, bearing the same brown color as about three-fourths of its body. Overall, it looked like a giant fossil that came to life.

Fossil...?

That's it!

"I know what it is!" I exclaimed with a snap of my fingers. I imagined a light bulb appearing above my head and almost lost my thoughts with a chuckle, "It looked a lot like that creature at our museum! What was it called again... It evolved from that little thing... a Kabuto?"

She leaned against the odd glowing walls in the secret passage we were hidden in, crossing her arms as if all of this didn't faze her, "You're talking about Kabutops?"

"Yesh!" I think the light bulb really did appear above my head this time. "That's what it's called!"

"Aren't Kabutops, oh I don't know, extinct?"

I raised an eyebrow at her, "Then what do you suppose that giant beast was?"

She scowled, "I'm not saying that it wasn't! I'm just saying that it doesn't make sense!"

"Oh..."

"Yeah..."

"So what do we do now?"

She pointed down the hall at the only direction we could go, "We see what's at the end of this weird glowing tunnel."

I nodded, and we started on our way.

Sorry if it was short! But it had to be stopped there for suspense!

SO ALL OC OWNERS, ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR QUESTIONS?

1. What do you want your OC's team nickname to be?

2. What is the ultimate thing in the world that your OC is afraid of? Can be anything!

3. And just for fun, why do you think that the bad guys didn't take the Soul Dew just yet?

~MARMAR!

The ninja squirrels' leader.

Yeah. You better fear this sexyness.

And by fear, I mean review.

And oh yeah! I don't really like the summary for this story, so if anyone has a good one, please send it in!
