Hi guys! How's it going. This chapter starts the best part of PMD: EOS! I looooovvvved it! I don't own pokemon, let's begin!

Chapter 15

Rook's POV

When I finally came to, I was lying on a stone floor. Looking around my PRISON CELL, I noticed the only opening was a grated door. "Hey!" I yelled, and a Mega-Sabeye appeared.

"Don't make me use my gem against you." It growled. "Lord Dusknoir is planning to get rid of you soon, either way." The only thing I could do was squeak in protest. I lay down on the freezing floor. After a couple seconds, I heard a... "Ruby!" Followed by a...

"YAAH!" A scream from behind the left wall ripped through the air. I flinched hard and yelped myself. Quickly standing up and walking back a few paces, I stepped in Arceus-knows-what. I flinched and retreated to the left. I lay down, knowing that was the only thing I could do. I heard a bang and a soft thump on the other side and tried to dismiss it. Then, I heard a familiar voice call "Ripper!" On the right side, I heard another bang, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, and finally another bang and a thump.

"Sapphire! Your turn." A voice I knew as Dusknoir's called sternly. The Mega-Sabeye nodded briskly and pulled out a pair of keys. The door to my cell opened and I made a run for it through the Sableye's huge gem, immediately regretting it when the actually pretty slow Sableye yelled,

"Prisioner #89216D has escaped!"

Crap. I thought, seeing a left hallway and running frantically down it. However, as soon as I turned, I saw a row of Espurr standing there. No no nooooooooo... I turned and took the right path and encountered MORE Espurr. I ran for the left side again, and encountered... Espurr. the Espurr from the right had appeared behind me, and panic started to settle in.

"OKAY! OKAY! I GIVE UP!" I screamed, wanting it to end. A blue Meowstic with white ears stepped forward from behind the rows of the right-side Espurr and let out a startling scream. I finally blacked out.

Timeskip

"What the..." I slowly opened my eyes. I was suffering from a headache, yes... and I was tied to a pole with two figures on either side of me. It was very dark, and I couldn't turn my head because the rope was just a little wrapped around my neck. "Who's there?" I asked.

"Oh! Rook, your'e awake!" Kiara said.

"Where are we?" I asked, trying to see in the murky gloom.

"I don't know." Kiara said with worry. "I can't tell... it's too dark. I just remember waking up in a cell and getting beaten by a Sabeye..."

"You two... shut up." A voice- Grovyle's - said. "You are both in the future." I growled at Grovyle.

"What are you doing here..." Kiara said quietly.

"Oh, nothing." Grovyle growled. "I just thought it'd be a GREAT idea to TIE MYSELF TO A STOCKADE!" I looked down and managed to kick a stick that was lying there.

"Then why are we here?" I asked, trying to be calm.

"Don't know, don't care." I heard Grovyle twist his head to the side in order to not look at me. After a while, my eyes caught a faint glow and I saw a Sableye carrying a torch with Dusknoir and a couple others. A Sableye standing by Dusknoir was holding a stone that I assumed was a mega-stone.

"Mmm." Dusknoir hummed. "I only intended to put Grovyle and Rook to the stake. I don't know how you got here, Kiara. Thanks for taking away my partner, by the way."

"Wh-what?" Kiara asked.

"Who was your partner?" I asked, starting a cold sweat.

"The one you called 'Medusa', Rook." Dusknoir said. "I still can't believe she strayed from being my right-hand pokemon. I was going to find her to finish her off but... you did the job for me." I growled. "And Kiara... you are very lucky I convinced Master Dialga to let you join your friends."

"What is this!?" I hissed at Dusknoir.

"Why just me?" Kiara asked feebly.

"Because your loyalty, I brought you here, Kiara." Dusknoir monotoned. "I can't completely blame you for that." Kiara bowed her head. "So now I must burn you." At that point, Kiara's head popped up and my brain went into shock. The Sableye with the torch stepped forward, holding it's torch out.

"But that won't-" Kiara started.

"Work on you? Exactly." Dusknoir said, grinning. He showed his pointed white teeth. "Once you watch your 'friends' burn, you can choose you side, like Medusa." Kiara's eyes went as wide as dinner plates.

"KIARA DO SOMETHING!" I screeched. "EEVEE AND FIRE DON'T MIX!" The Sableye set the sticks on the ground on fire and stepped back.

Grovyle looked at me from the corner of his eye. "(If you want to live, I need your full co-operation." I nodded slowly. "(Do you have a luminous orb?)" he asked.

"Yes. The Sableye forgot to frisk me- my team bag's still hidden in my ruff of fur." I said.

"(Exellent.)" Grovyle whispered. "(Activate on my signal. Then break through the ropes.)"

"(Kiara, you got all that?)" I asked. I heard a faint 'yes' above the crackling of the fire. The flames were about to char my ropes and burn me alive and I began to sweat even more.

(Activate!)" Grovyle hissed. I squirmed and the whole area was enveloped and a bright light. I ran, leaving the fire in the dust and cowered behind a rock as the light faded.

"WHAT?" Dusknoir screeched. "They escaped? RUBY! SAPPHIRE! FIND THEM!"

"Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" I heard two voices respond.

"Emerald." The light faded competely and I saw Dusknoir talking to the Mega-Sableye. "Sound the alarms, Put out the flames, Scearch all the exits, including this room. JUST FIND THEM. You are my right hand Pokèmon, i'm counting on you." 'Emerald' nodded and ran out of the room, muttering, "(They couldn't have gotten far...)" I saw Grovyle from a distance and worked my way in she shadows and reached him. Kiara was already there. We cowered behind a small stone.

"(We have to get out of here.)" I whispered. "(There's too many of them...)"

"(Ssshh... We need a escape plan.)" Grovyle monotoned. "(We can't run around in the open without being spotted... Vulpix, do you know any illusionary moves?)"

"I prefer Kiara... and no." Kiara said.

"(Great... I was kind of betting on that.)" Grovyle said. I saw his facial expression change slightly suddenly. He looked a bit shocked.

"You okay?" I asked.

"(Thought I saw one of Dusknoir's known goons- A Geodud-)" Grovyle was cut off, as he was hit in the face by a small stream of silver sand. Grovyle turned his head. "(So we meet again.)" Grovyle hissed.

"(Deserter.)" said a voice. Whoever it was, they were hiding in the shadow of a rock. "(...the lakes of the pixies of being were found.)" I examined the rock and saw a familiar pair of golden eyes.

"Yeah..." Grovyle sighed. "..but you weren't the one who got the Time Gears."

"Sabishii?" I asked the shadow.

"Your'e with Grovyle?" Kiara tried to exclaim in a hushed voice.

Grovyle nodded. "Sabishii's job was actually MY job. When I came to your present, however.. I found she had not done her job." Sabishii shot him a angry stare.

"Oh, so it's bad that she realized the job she was assigned to was bad?" Kiara hissed.

"Look, i'll explain everything later." Grovyle said sternly. "Right now we need to focus on escaping." He turned to Sabishii. "Use your powder to disguise us. I'm going to have a long chat with you after this..." Sabishii shook her head in annoyance. We were covered in a silver dust covered in stone.

Timeskip...

Kiara's POV

"So..." I whispered was we lurked along the halls covered in silver sand to match the walls. "Are we really in-" We were walking around in a grey stone maze with soft glows here and there, illuminating the huge pathways.

"Yes." Grovyle said, interrupting me. I was still shocked and trying to go over the events in my mind... Sabishii and Grovyle trying to steal the time gears... Dusknoir trying to burn my friend alive... it's too much for me. It's too much all of a sudden, and i'm trying to hide that fact. I think it's working.

I shot a angry glare at Grovyle. "Care to explain-"

"I'll explain when we are in a safer place." Grovyle interrupted me again. "Please be patient. We are almost there." He's right for once - there's a faint ray of actual daylight in the distance. Once Rook was standing under it, I felt the need to yell,

"Stop!"

"Ssshhh!" Rook scolded me.

"No." I said, glaring at Rook. "No. No more 'We are almost there', I WANT to know now!"

"Kiara, keep your voice down!" I whispered. Grovyle turned his head to look at me.

"Look, it's literally a hour more-"

"No!" I said again. "I didn't want to say this, but... Rook and I are leaving." I snarled the last bit. Rook glared at me and I almost took it back.

"Are you INSANE?" She said sternly. I was hurt by this. I just wanted to say, 'These past events were so sudden... I just can't take it, okay?' But... I can't. I just can't.

"But we can go-" I said, trying to keep Rook from Grovyle. He's a criminal... right?

"Where?" Rook said, not looking at me. "Maybe you forgot we are in the future. Not in our own time. We need help, and Grovyle + Sabishii are our only chance here."

"What about Dusknoir?" I asked quietly.

"It's not like he was just trying to kill us or anything!" Rook said, baring her teeth. "Oh that's right. He was trying to kill ME. And it's not like Grovyle helped us escape!" Rook growled at me. Suddenly, Grovyle used Razor Leaf on Rook's cheek, drawing blood.

"Shut it both of you!" Grovyle said.

"(This is going to scar...)" Rook muttered.

"Stop getting pissed at the only other pokemon you can trust. We need to go. NOW." Grovyle hissed. "I promise, I will explain everything soon."

You said that five hours ago. I thought angrily. I caught a glance at Rook and noticed she was glaring at Grovyle.. but not in the same way. And so we walked on in fear.

One hour later...

"We should rest here later." Grovyle said, breaking the long silence. "The alcove should provide good cover. I'll allow some questions before we move on." We had managed to find a hiding place in this huge death trap of a base. I glanced at Rook, who refused to look at me. Instead, she watched Sabishii draw spiral patterns through her sandy cover.

"So why was Sabishii going to do your job?" Rook asked.

"She was going to take care of it.. because I had someone to take care of." Grovyle said. "The only reason I could come is that someone passed away." he sighed. "When I found out Sabishii didn't do her job, I was pretty pissed to the point where I had to do it all myself."

"Dusknoir mentioned someone named Master Dialga?" Rook said.

"He's the tyrant who rules the 'future world' with a iron paw. He wants me and any other rebels dead because i'm trying to fix it." Grovyle explained. "I don't know of any living others though...only me and Sabishii."

"Why is time... frozen?" I asked. Dusknoir had mentioned during his speech that time had frozen in the future.

"Because Temporal Tower has collapsed." Grovyle said.

"(So the legends are true...)" I whispered. "(Mother...)"
