On to the chapter!

…

It was a fairly warm day, the sun was out and a slight breeze flew across the landscape. There were acres of the greenest grass than one could imagine. This place was so warm, love and comfort emanated from the very core of the landscape. Off in the distance was a cascading waterfall that was as tall as a towering building! But behind this said waterfall was a secret cave, only known to a family of four pokemon. The other wild pokemon in the area referred to them as the Eon Family.

The joyful family was out on a peaceful flight, happily cruising around the area while enjoying the beautiful sight of their home. There was the father and mother, a full grown, healthy, adult Latios and a beautiful, petite, adult Latias. Their children were little bundles of joy, excitedly playing with one another as they followed their parents.

"Tag you're it!"

"No, tag you're it!"

They repeated over and over again, their parents never cringed at their treasures' repetitive play. Their daughter was a cute, little, red ball of joy, a healthy young Latias. And their son was a slightly larger, blue, smiling Latios. Their names were Colette and Ken...

After a long hour, the family decided to head back home, into their comfortable secret cave hidden behind the crystal waters of the waterfall. As the father split the waterfall with his psychic for his family to fly through, he turned his head and looked out in the distance. The far skyline was littered with a wall of dark clouds. Looks like rain for the Eon Family to enjoy! Or was it?...

"Latias, I'm going out to get us some food before that rain gets here." the Latios said after entering the surprisingly warm cave. Their comfortable little home was floored with thick layers of grass and a few other plants from around the area. And in this "claw" made flooring were four indents, each one belonging to a certain family member.

The red eon nodded with a smile to her husband. "Be safe!" she called out as Latios once again split the waterfall and flew out to the nearby forests. They were a pretty normal family, well for pokemon that is. The motherly Latias began rubbing the bellies of her children as they each squealed in delight.

"Hey mama that tickles!" squealed Colette.

"That tickles mama!" Ken laughed through the giggling fits.

"Oh you two..." Latias smiled, caressing her children in a warming hug as she let them go to continue their play in the cave. People, and pokemon who were familiar with the eon species knew the basic anatomy of the species. Red colored feathers for the females, and blue colored feathers for the males. There were also the color of the eyes. A rich, deep color of amber for the females, and a sharp, strong red color for the males. Pretty simple right? But strangely, this wasn't the case. The two giggling children had different colored eyes, they each had one amber eye and one red eye. This disorder was known as Heterochromia, but they didn't know that. None of them did.

Even the mother and father had this mind blowing trait. "Colette, and Ken... just like the young couple that saved our lives." the mother sighed, flashing a sad smile at her children. The red eon closed her eyes as she searched her memory banks for the frightening memory.

...

Latias and her mate, Latios, were out on a flight in the very same area in which they lived; both of their children were still not conceived at this time period. It was calm and quiet, the two eons were enjoying their time as they ascended high into the blue sky, disappearing above the clouds. They flew higher and higher and it felt as if they would be leaving the Earth's atmosphere! Then suddenly they crashed into a large black object with an enormous red R on the side of it.

"Honey, what is that?" the blue eon asked, rubbing his head in pain as he made sure that his partner was safe as well. The Latias shrugged as they approached the floating behemoth. This mysterious thing was far to large to be called an object anymore because it was as big as a cruise liner! It flew silently as it passed through the air, then suddenly a voice came out of nowhere, startling the eons.

"Sir, are those the targets that Giovanni wanted us to capture?" a man asked on what seemed to be an intercom. The two eons were confused as they slowly backed away from the flying ship.

"Yes! Those are the ones!" a young man shouted in excitement.

"Be quiet you." a slightly more aged man said, smacking the young man with what sounded like a clipboard. "Yes, capture them immediately." the man finished as the intercom was turned off. The eons were tired of this talking behemoth and began to fly away, not a single hint of danger was emitted from it.

They were wrong, of course. As soon as the two eons turned their backs to the enormous aircraft a loud hissing noise was heard from directly behind them. A large hatch opened up as they hydraulics ceased their movement. And in an instant something was shot out of it, what seemed to be a large black wall hit the two eons, enveloping them. But the capture device was shot out with such force that it sent the two pokemon flying through the distance, and soon enough they were out of sight.

Somehow, the intercom was turned on again. "Oops." said the man.

"Idiot..."

The two eons screamed with fright, their bodies were made and developed to handle g-forces of the highest magnitude, but the capture device was shot at a faster speed than they could handle. The shear force they had to endure had already crushed several of their bones as the force began to damage their internal organs.

They were far away from their home, and they were going even farther towards who knows where. They both closed their eyes and waited for everything to stop; their powers seemed to be disabled by this mysterious black device. And finally, they made contact with the Earth in an atomic-bomb like explosion. Dirt and dust flew everywhere as it finally cleared, the two had created an enormous crater in the ground.

Luckily they landed in a seemingly empty forest, free of any predators or wandering trainers. The black device had finally released its prey as the two pokemon spat out blood. They couldn't move, they were stuck in their grave-like crater. They managed to get a hold of each others claw and slowly closed their eyes, ready to die together.

"Hurry Ken! I heard it come from over hear!" cried a young girl, possibly in her teens. There was a rustling among the thick brush of the forest, and a young girl popped out. Her black hair was short, and reached down to her shoulders, but she was still able to keep it in a ponytail. She wore a plain pink t-shirt with tight, black, skinny jeans.

"I wonder what that was, Colette!" asked a boy who was right behind the girl. His black hair was fairly long for a boy, but he still kept the appearance of a male. He wore a black zip-up jacket with black, red, and yellow stripes that were patterned across the material. He also wore a light blue t-shirt underneath, and matched the color of the girl's jeans with his own.

The two were shocked at what they found in the crater, there were two dragon pokemon who seemed to be bleeding from the mouth as they lay motionless in the dirt. "Help me get them out of there!" Colette gasped as she rushed into the deep crater. Ken nodded as he followed suite.

After a few hours had passed, the two eons were finally conscious. The dragons had thanked the couple sincerely as they both parted. If it weren't for the young couple, Latias and Latios would have ceased to live in this world. While the young couple left the now recovered eons in the forest, the eons looked into each others eyes.

And then Latias suddenly spoke, "When we have children, let's name them Ken, and Colette."

Latios smiled and nodded as they embraced in a hug.

…

The red eon was snapped back into reality thanks to the playing of her two lovely children, Ken and Colette.

"Where are you hiding?" asked Colette, looking around the deep cave for any signs of her brother. When the little red eon had passed a large sized boulder, a blue dragon popped out from behind making some kind of roaring sound, scaring his sister. The red eon squealed as she flew in the opposite direction of her brother as he chased her.

Latias chuckled at their innocence as something had passed through the waterfall. "Oh you're back!" Latias smiled to her husband, giving him a hug as he placed a large pile of berries and a few dead fish pokemon in his indent in the flooring.

After parting from his wife's hug he announced, "Alright everyone, eat up!" everyone jumped for joy as they happily dug into Latios' food pile. "Eat all you want, I already had a big snack before I came back." the blue eon rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment as his wife raised a sarcastic eyebrow at him.

As the family enjoyed their food, the frightening clouds outside continued to crawl across the sky, but there was something hidden those clouds. If one would look closely at the clouds, they would see a fleet of black, flying, behemoths that were flying in the direction of the Eon family's home. There were three flying ships, each one resembled the one back when Latias and Latios were attacked.

But one thing was different about this fleet of airships, the feeling they emitted was as cold and empty as death itself. One would have to be lacking a heart of any kind to endure the dark energies that radiated from the ships core. There was something evil in those three airships.

As soon as the ships were within a mile of the Eon family's home, Latios' and Latias' senses had picked up a dangerous force that was headed for their home. The red eon immediately stopped eating and looked at her husband, "Lets go check it out. Kids, stay here and eat while Daddy and I go outside for a quick walk."

The little children smiled and nodded at their mother's request as they continued to feast on their father's catch.

"Latias, do you feel that presence?" Latios asked after they flew through the waterfall. The red eon nodded as they turned to the direction of overpowering feeling. "It's scaring me, but, at the same time it feels as though this presence is, artificial." the blue eon said uneasily.

The red eon nodded in agreement. "Let's go get the kids." Latias said as soon as they could see the red R on the sides of the airships. The blue eon split the waterfall without responding and flew in, allowing his wife to enter before him. "Colette, Ken. We have to leave home right now or something might happen." Latias said frantically, trying too keep her cool.

"What might happen mama?" Colette asked after gulping down a mouthful of berries.

"Daddy and I don't know. But we have to leave right now!" Latias said in a firmer tone. Their children nodded as they followed their parents out of the cave and through the waterfall. "Stay close to Daddy." Latias said as Colette and Ken obeyed. The family was ready to leave in a hurry, but it was too late. The airships were already over the Eon family's home, the evil energy was almost unbearable, even to Latios, as Colette and Ken cowered in fear.

Without warning, the bottom hatches of the airships creaked open, releasing most of the dark energies. Three enormous beings fell to the soft grass of the Eon family's home, they were colored in an eerie black. Their bodies were long and their sides had ridges lined from their heads to their lower chest. They were the shape of some kind of worm, and mysterious black ooze was secreted from the three beings' bodies. The eyes were a spine tingling yellow, and two spikes protruded from the sides of their heads. Enormous black wings opened up from the beings' backs as the mysterious black oozed was splattered across the grass.

Their very presence on the Earth began to kill the grass beneath them as any other small forms of life began to rot away. Again this feeling, to Latias and Latios it was very frightening, but at the same time it felt so, artificial. As if these beings were created not from this earth, but by some horrible experiment.

"Daddy, they look like Uncle Giratina." Ken shivered in fear, he nor his sister have ever really like their "uncle". Latios whispered something in his wife's ear as she held Colette and Ken close to her body. Latias nodded reluctantly as tears began to form in her eyes. Latios leaned over to whisper something in Colette's and Ken's ears, "Daddy doesn't know what's going to happen but I want to tell the both of you this before I go. Others may age and grow old, but Eons are forever...". And with that the blue eon quickly told his wife that everything was going to be alright, and in that instant, Latias had bolted off in distance, leaving her husband behind to fight these artificial beings.

Instantly, one of the three fake Giratinas cranked their head in the direction of the parting family and took off at blinding speeds as one of the airships followed suite. "Crap!" Latios cursed as he tried to follow the dark being, but he was immediately cut off by the two other Giratinas. "I'm sorry Latias, Colette, Ken."

The fight began. Latios collected his energy as an incredible blue ball of energy formed in his maw while he carefully aimed for his targets. The very presence of his Luster Purge disintegrated the surrounding Earth around him, and in an instant, the volatile ball of energy shot out of his mouth and was sent flying at the false Giratinas, causing everything in its path to disintegrate.

The two black beings stood their ground, their eerie eyes stared the volatile energy ball down until it was within a few meters from them. The ball of energy collided with the shadows in an enormous explosion of white and black. The Luster Purge's explosion had grew larger and larger, wiping out the behemoth airships in the sky above. A few moments passed as the dust and energy cleared up, but to Latios' shocking surprise, the two Giratinas were still standing.

The false Giratinas cackled with a hair raising tone as it pierced Latios' eardrums. The shadows flapped their wings, sending black ooze in every direction as a ball of black energy quickly formed above their heads. The blue eon attempted to fly away and escape the attack, but failed. The shadows appeared directly in front of the blue eon, stopping him in his tracks. The ball of darkness above their heads was already enormous, and in an instant, they fired at the defenseless Latios.

"I'm sorry, everyone..."

…

"Hurry kids!" Latias frantically cried, tugging at Colette's and Ken's claws, trying to escape the sights of the demonic being behind them. Colette and Ken were heaving their chests, they have never had to fly this fast for so long; their stamina quickly began to fade as the false Giratina gained on them. Out in the distance was an explosion of dark energy, the shock wave had traveled a few miles and had finally reached their destination, sending Latias and her children into the ground below them.

Latias knew that this was it, if they were going to die here she might as well try and keep her kids alive, sacrificing her own in the process. "Hurry, fly away Colette, and Ken!" Latias cried as her kids reluctantly left their mother on the ground. The Giratina ignored the mother and headed straight for Colette and Ken. "I won't let you do that!" the red eon cried, firing a quick Mist Ball at the being's back. Her kids escaped... thank goodness.

The false Giratina fell to the dirt, but it quickly shot back up and turned around to face its attacker. In retaliation, the Giratina formed a shadow spear next to its head, and fired it at the red eon, hitting her left wing. Latias grunted in pain as she fell to the dirt below her. "I'm so sorry Colette, Ken. And especially you, Latios." the red eon cried to herself, but quickly wiped them away as the shadow approached.

If she was going to die, she might as well die trying. Latias fired another Mist Ball at the shadow, and again, it fell to the dirt. And instantly, the false Giratina shot back up cackling, its tone sending shivers up Latias' spine. The shadow formed a wall of shadow spears as the red eon gritted her teeth, "I'm sorry, everyone." the Giratina fired its wall of death at the defenseless eon and hit its target...

…

"Hurry Colette! That airship is coming closer." Ken panted, pulling on his sister's claw, desperate for escape. They were flying through the thick forest brush, getting several cuts from the wild greenery.

"The airship is right above us!" Colette gasped as they both glanced up at the sky. The black behemoth descended as the same enormous hatch opened up, a small speck was falling to the Earth. "What's that?" Colette asked, struggling to keep up with her brother. The speck came closer, it looked like a man wearing a mask of some sort. He was using a device to keep him hovering over the ground below him. He quickly lost his altitude and swooped down through the forest brush in an attempt to capture both of the little eons, but only succeeded in taking Colette.

"Colette!" Ken cried, turning back for his sister.

"I'll come back for you later you little piece of crap!" the Marauder cackled, aiming his finger at the blue eon as he flew back up to the flying behemoth. Ken instantly flew towards this evil man with the remainder of his energy, but without warning, three black beings shot out from the treetops. "I think I'll let them take care of you!" the Marauder shouted in joy as he ascended higher and higher.

Fear rolled down Ken's spine as he shot off in an attempt to run from these monstrosities. Sadly, the young eon was no match for these experimental beings as they quickly caught up to the exhausted eon. One of the false Giratinas slammed into Ken's small body and sent him flying into a lake that was hidden deep within the forest, they quickly followed their prey into the thick brush.

Ken landed in the lake water, creating a small explosion as the indigenous pokemon swam away in fear. He couldn't move, the impact must have paralyzed him, and from the treetops he saw the three shadows flying towards him. "No. Mama, Daddy, Colette. Why is all of this happening?" he said to himself.

"What do I do?"

The shadows crept even closer to the waters surface and surrounded their paralyzed prey. They cackled in their usual hair raising tone as their shape began to dissipate. The black energy from each shadow entered Ken's body,invading every inch of his soul. Within a few moments the young eon rose, his body was completely black as black ooze slipped off of his body. He... It smiled like a mad man. The being still kept the shape of that young eon but many of his features changed.

The eon's joyful smile was replaced with a maniacal grin with menacing red eyes. And instead of the usual red triangle on his chest, it was replaced by a white X. Along with this new symbol came three others, a red and blue wing that mirrored the ones from the false Giratinas, and a white crown at the top of all the other ones.

An aura of black fire surrounded the shadow as the remaining conscious of the young eon began to disappear.

Everything went black...

…

"Others may age and grow old, but Eons are forever..."

...

"Huh? What happened?" it was cold and dark. The young eon was lying on what seemed to be rock. "Where am I?" Ken asked himself and looked at his body. What happened to the shadows?" he asked. But after that an old couple came around the corner.

"Oh dear, look at him honey. He's bleeding!" the old women gasped, running over to the young eon. The old man was holding a torch for light as he followed his wife. "What's your name?" the woman asked in a warm tone as she picked the eon up in her arms.

"Ken..." he telepathed, startling the old couple.

"I've never seen a pokemon like this on Mt. Silver in my life!" the old man said in surprise.

"Come on, let's take him home." the old woman said as her husband nodded in agreement.

…

Ken woke up, sweating, it was still dark out. "Mom, Dad, Colette. I can't believe that we were a family..."

…

Ok so yeah! This chapter was the longest "Door" chapter for Ken. It explains his family, origin, what really happened. And other stuff. And if you forgot, the end where Ken is taken in by the old couple, it ties in with his so called "parents" that he talks about way back in The Unknown Latios. Well I have finals tomorrow so, wish me luck! If you have any questions just ask, so please review and tune in next time on Remembering an Old Friend!
