A/N: (insert random excuse) (insert random talking)…and that's where the idea for PB&J sandwiches came from… (Continues for 5 hours) …and that's why humans…zzzzzz…ah, man, it's still day time. On a different note, I'm sorry, its spring break and this is the only chapter I got done, although I did work on some future chapters. Lastly…nah that's it for now.

Chapter 22: Path of Soul: David
"Ah, my head" I said rubbing said appendage. After my sudden headache subsided, I took a look around, it was night, and I was apparently in a forest. I looked towards the sky, full moon but no stars. "*sigh* now what?" I asked while staring at the moon. "Depends, what do you feel like doing?"A voice in my head echoed in a bored tone. "I feel like getting out of here, preferably with your powers" I answered, deducing the voice was the thing I was looking for. "*sigh*another one of those, huh?" It said, keeping his tone.
"What does that mean?" I asked, getting up and walking around. "All you want is my power nothing else" he stated. "Originally yes, that's all but now I'm fascinated by the sights and other things" I said gesturing to objects around me. "…yeah, right, okay, whatever" he said, and a tree, slightly taller and wider than the others, started glowing. "I'm in there" he explained. "Okay then, I'm coming" I said running towards it. I approached the tree in seconds and started climbing. "Uh, no, I'm IN the tree" he explained. I slid back down and found an opening in the tree, finding it to be hollow "Drop through, there's a soft bottom" I did as it said and slid into the log.
I fell for what seemed like seconds, everything was black and tight around me. Suddenly, everything opened and got bright, as I hit the rock hard floor. "Ow! You said it was soft!" I complained. "Oh, uh, never mind" I grumbled and got on my feet. "Now what?" I asked. "Door in front of you" it answered. I was wary but I still opened it. It was bright, too bright, WAY too bright; I closed the door "It's too bright in there!" I complained. "Light is good, but too much is a bad thing, sometimes darkness is also good" it explained "Bathe in the darkness of truth".
I felt the light behind the door dim, I opened it again, the light was almost completely out, but it was still bright enough to know where I was going. I followed the path to another door; I opened this one and found a huge room as dimly light as the hall, except there was a hole in the ceiling revealing a Last Quarter moon. On a rock in the room sat an Umbreon, sitting there plain as day, his eyes were halfway closed in boredom. "You're uglier than I thought you would be" it said mentally. "Yeah, yeah let's get this over with" I said. "Fine, fine" he said. Suddenly his eyes shot open and he performed a Dark Pulse on me, then everything went black.
I awoke after what seemed like hours, the first thing I saw was the moon, it had changed to a Waning Cresselia. The next thing I saw was the Umbreon, it was still sitting on its rock staring at me with its half closed eyes. "What was that for?" I asked, groaning. "Sneak attacks, specialty of Dark types" he explained. "True, but that isn't a reason to attack me!" I exclaimed, sitting up. "If you want my power you'll need to learn how to be sneaky and when a sneak attack is coming!" he explained. "Ugh, you're right" I said rubbing my head. "Good, now that we're on the same page, it's time for your lesson" he said and we was suddenly lifted back up onto the forest floor.
"You're first and only (cause I'm too lazy to make more) test is to avoid 3 of my sneak attacks and launch one for yourself" he explained, and vanished. "I'd run if I were you" he whispered. I started running, not really paying attention where I was going, but I noticed the trees started growing in quantity. I stopped "Oh no" I said. "Big mistake" he whispered. I felt another Dark pulse hit me in the hip, it wasn't as strong as the last but it was strong enough to knock me over. I got up as quick as I could and started running right. I ran fast but suddenly I realized something and stopped. I stood completely still, I realized: why run? It wouldn't matter where I went the outcome would be the same if I kept running. I was waiting, and suddenly I heard it, the sound of a leaf cracking under foot, I knew where he was now I just had to wait for the attack, I heard the sound of charging and a sudden pop, the attack was released. I quickstepped to the left and saw the attack soar past me "That's 1".
I grabbed a stick off the ground and waited for the next attack, I heard him move to a different spot but I couldn't tell where. I stood for what seemed like hours and I heard a very quiet 'pop' from my left and I slid towards it watching the attack fly over my head, I threw my stick in the direction the attack came from. Instead of hearing it impact on a body, I heard it land on the ground. "2, and nice try but I said SNEAK attack" he explained.
I nodded interpreting his words, I had to be sneakier. I heard the rustling of leaves and I readied to dodge. I heard a loud 'POP' …from two different locations. Fearing the worst, I immediately ducked to the ground and saw two Dark pulses pass over where my head would've been; they came from two opposite directions. 'That was 4!' I was going to say but thought of something else, I got up as fast as I could trying to look as frantic and panicked as possible, I climbed up the nearest tree and to a branch covered by leaves. I grabbed as many leaves as I could and another stick. I heard the sound of charging from beneath the branch and I gathered the leaves into a pile, I then threw it to the ground, to imitate me falling. I watched as the guardian leaped over to it and blast it, I took this opportunity and threw the stick dangerously close to the Umbreon.
"That'll teach you to underestimate a stick" I said leaping out of the tree. The Umbreon sighed "Fine, I'll give you that, after all I'm not in my top form" he explained. Suddenly the moon became a New Moon "But now I am, remember that, my powers are strong during the night or dark places and strongest during new moons" he explained. I nodded in understanding, "Good, let's begin" he said sending a wave across the floor and painting appeared on the ground. "Stand there, and place your hands on the ground and say my name and whatever you do, DO NOT give out" he warned "My name is Getsuei". I nodded and placed my hands on the ground "Getsuei", suddenly my vision started to blacken "Don't be afraid and keep conscious for at least 5 more seconds" he informed. I slightly nodded as my vision got darker. "4" I started to lose being able to see the trees. "3" I could barely see. "2" I could barely make out the ground. "1" By then I couldn't see at all. Suddenly my vision cleared, and I could see even clearer than before. "There done" he said, I wasn't shocked at all that I could understand him now. "Yadda yadda, you now have my powers maybe more, you'll figure it out…I know you will, you're very clever" he stated. "Say the color of your aura and you're out, feel free to drop by though" he said and whispered the color. I nodded and said it:
"Lavender"

A/N: I FINALLY got this done, it took me like a month but I finally finished, I probably won't work on the next chapter for a couple of weeks, the BIG-END-OF-THE-YEAR-TEST (aka Armt +) is coming in 2 weeks, usually I'm not worried but ya know, they added a + to the end, A PLUS! So, yeah, that frightens me a little. Do not fear, when it is all said and done chapters shall progress as normal…I mean as usual, there is no normal. Well that's all (I think).
Getsuei: I have to say goodbye? *sigh*
Funkazan and Ikazuchi: DO IT!
Getsuei: Bye
