Hello! Welcome back to part two! Honestly, I've been having a lot of ideas about this as of late, and honestly, I'm not sure what I wanna do! Hahaha!

So, rant time: Me got dared to watch Corpse Party by my friends. So I watched it(subbed). I only made it to, like, episode 2, but continued to read the wiki. I kept thinking a lot of the voices were strikingly familiar, so I googled their voice actors and got the shock of my life.

Voice actor for Pikachu is the voice actor for the murderous little girl/main antagonist, Sachiko.

O.O=Childhood ruined.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Amy47101 does not own pokémon or Witch and Wizard, which this story is lightly based off. I only own Jade and Onyx.

The Jade and Onyx Arc

Part Two

The Exposed

One at a time.

One after another.

Each of the dexholders went into the hospital room that had a comatose Red, sleeping somewhat peacefully. It was a simple theory, really, something stupid that Onyx had brought up:

"I read somewhere," he had claimed. "That if loved ones or friends talk to the victim of a coma, he or she will snap out of it quicker."

So, despite the initial shock of finding out Onyx was a dexholder, despite the fear of the unknown, despite everything, they went in, one at a time with Yellow staying the entire time, under doctors orders, and spoke. No one was quite sure what was said, only assumed a simple 'hello, it's..." and they stated something.

"I'm heading in." Onyx stated once Green exited. There was a long pause, some glances cast to each other, but no one objected. Onyx walked in, shutting the door behind him. Yellow was at Red's bedside, holding his hand, barely acknowledging Onyx's presence. "Hey."

"H-Hey." Yellow stated back, not looking up.

"You gonna be okay?" Onyx asked, standing next to the bedside, next to Yellow. Yellow looked down.

"I-I dunno." she stated. "I-I wasn't strong enough. My powers aren't good enough. I couldn't drive off the shadows... and that's why Red is in a coma." she sniffled, bowing her head as her voice began to shook. "I-I-I like him. Really like him. A-A-And I almost killed him. I-I'm s-such a h-h-horrible person!"

"No you're not." Onyx stated, grabbing a chair and pulling it up next to her "Why would you think that? You're plenty strong on your own. You didn't almost kill him. You did what you could."

"But it wasn't enough." Yellow whimpered. Onyx sat there awkwardly for a moment, before reaching up and rubbing her head comfortingly. Yellow blinked, looking at him.

"You," Onyx said. "Are a lot like my little sister. You're the same age, you know. Based on looks and personality, everyone would say I'm crazy."

"Sister?" Yellow asked. "She's fifteen?"

"Yeah. And physically, very small. Like you. But despite her size, she's a hell of a little firecracker." Onyx chuckled, lowering his hand. He folded them in front of him, leaning his head on his hands. "But she's steadfastly devoted to her friends." his eyes grew distant. "All honesty, no matter what that useless bastard did, I honestly don't think she ever gave up on him." Yellow blinked.

"Him?" she asked. Onyx blinked, then chuckled.

"She has brown hair like me, right?" he smiled lightly, pointing to his head. "I haven't seen her in a while... Arceus, has it been two years or three? I couldn't tell you. Cherry blossom opal pink eyes... Her namesake."

"Namesake?" Yellow asked, suddenly shaking.

"Yeah. Her name is Opal." Onyx said this nonchalantly. He let out a sigh, then stood. "Sorry if I invaded your personal space there. But something similar happened with Opal before we got separated and I kinda went into a big-brother mode."

"N-No. You're fine." Yellow said with a shaky smiled.

"I've got something to say to Red as well." Onyx said. "First off, I'm so, so sorry for kidnapping Yellow. Jade's gone now, so I get it. Jade's my best and closest friend. She's been taken by the N.O. But I promise, we had completely noble and legitimate reasons for making it look like a kidnapping." he paused. "And wake up soon, you moron." he closed his eyes. "Falling into a coma... Idiot, you've got a wonderful girl here waitin' for ya." he smirked, opening his eyes. "I need a blackmail picture of you two."

"You sound like Blue." Yellow said. Onyx grinned cheekily.

"Don't be doing anything naughty with Red's prone and utterly defenseless body."

"O-Onyx..." Yellow muttered embarrassingly as Onyx winked, giving a thumbs up.

"But I won't tell nobody if you do." he snickered.

"Onyx!" she exclaimed, completely red to the face. Onyx simply smiled, walking out of the room and shutting the door behind him. Yellow turned back to Red, sighing.

Onyx confirmed it. That feeling she felt when he was going low, that the girl was close to him, they were true. Onyx described the girl to a tee. Those dreams were no normal dreams. But what were they, then? Visions? But Opal saw her.

Slowly, she reached up with her hands and covered her mouth. Honestly, it was strange having it being confirmed. Her powers truly were growing and expanding into something she was quite sure she was never going to have to go through since the "synchronized spirits" became one of her abilities. But now it was happening again.

Slowly, she sighed, rubbing her temples. She needed to know what was going on. What should she do? Research? Well, that would be the most obvious answer. She slowly reached her hands out and gently grabbed Red's hand again.

"Hey, Yellow." she glanced up, seeing Blue walk in with a gentle smile on her face. "Visiting hours are going to be over soon. We're going to check into a hotel. Are you gonna come?"

"Y-Yeah. I will. Just give me a minute."

"He'll be fine." Blue stated. "I mean, he's not called the Fighter for nothing."

"I know."

"And it seems like everyone is supporting you now." she stated. "So smile. Onyx is going to tell us what's going on, your boyfriend will wake up fine, and we're going to get Jade back. Okay?" Yellow smiled lightly.

"Okay." Blue patted her shoulder in a sisterly manner and smiled.

"See you later, Red. Wake up soon, because I-"

"Need some blackmail photos." Yellow smiled. Blue looked slightly shocked.

"Wha-? Me?! Yellow, have you no faith in your friend?"

"No. Onyx said something very similar." Yellow laughed lightly. "You two would probably be great friends." Blue looked surprised for a moment, then a mischievous grin grew on her face.

"Well, then. Onyx and I have a lot to discuss, then. Ho, ho, ho!" Yellow smiled at Blue as she walked out of the room. She glanced at the clock then sighed. Five minutes till the end of visiting hours. She turned back to Red, smiling lightly.

"Hey Red." she said. "Visiting hours are going to be done soon. So I've got to go. I'll come back as soon as I can, okay?" She paused for a moment as she stood, then slowly leaned down, planting a tentative kiss on his forehead.

"How-?!" Onyx stared in awe at the luxury hotel in front of him. "How in the name of Giratina's hellcrater can you afford this?!"

"It's nothing." Platinum stated. "If I am to stay in a hotel, I will not sleep in one of those backwash holes."

"You're payin'?" Onyx asked as they walked inside. Platinum nodded, gathering a single room key.

"I got the penthouse. It's rather large... and I figured strengths in numbers." Platinum stated. They continued walking towards the elevator, but something caught Onyx's attention.

"Platinum." he stated. "Tell me. Are the pools in places like this heated?"

"Of course." she scoffed. Onyx blinked, then a wild grin broke out on his face.

"I'm going in!" he nearly shouted making a beeline for the door. Green snatched the collar of his shirt, glaring.

"Stop acting like an idiot." he stated.

"But Greeeeeen!"

"Do you even have a swimsuit?" Blue asked. Onyx paused for a moment, thinking, as Green letting go of his collar.

"That's true." he pondered for a moment, then grinned. "Who's up for skinny-dipping?" half-the dexholders blanched at this while others just went completely red. Gold grinned.

"How," he stated with fake anime tears running down his face as he slung an arm around Onyx's shoulders. "Could I have ever doubted you?" Gold glanced at Crystal. "What do you say, Crys? Up for skinny-dipping?" Crystal's eyebrow twitched, and slowly, she reached out, grabbing both their heads, then slamming them together.

"I don't understand how the two of you can think about something so... moronic when we have more pressing problems!" Crystal scolded.

"Fine, fine! We can go in fully clothed!" Onyx exclaimed, holding up his hands in surrender as a large goose egg began to form where his head connected with Golds.

"That's not the issue-!"

"Now is not the time." Green stated in a low voice. "Stop goofing off, Onyx. You promised you'd tell us what's going on." Onyx sighed.

"Fiiiine." he turned as the elevator opened. Once everyone was inside, he grinned. "I'll go swimming later!"

Everyone sat down in the enormous penthouse that Platinum had rented. After they had ordered room service, and Onyx inhaled half a pizza, they patiently waited for the brunette to start talking.

"That was good." he stated, digging through his bag for a moment and pulling out a needle and a small vile. He pulled off the cap of the needle like it was nothing, and began drawing some liquid from the vile. "So," he said, lifting his shirt and jabbing the needle into his stomach, completely uncaring of the audience he had. "Where should I start?"

"Um... was that...?"

"Yup!" Onyx laughed, placing the vile back into it's small container and capping the needle, plopping both back in his bag. "I'ma druggie!" he laughed. "Humalog. Keeps the bloodsugar in check and all. Now that that's out of the way," he struck a dramatic pose. "Onto the drama!" Hope the Eevee crawled up onto the couch Onyx was, and the teen grinned, rubbing her head.

"Why would you kidnap Yellow?" Blue asked. Onyx grinned, flipping Hope onto her back and rubbing her belly.

"Green can answer that. We talked earlier and I don't wanna repeat myself."

"Essentially," Green stated. "Onyx claims that something called the N.O. was chasing them, and if they directly asked you, Yellow, for help, they'd assume that we were working with them. And then-"

"Ev-er-y-one diiiieeees~!" Onyx sang.

"W-What?" Pearl asked. Onyx looked up, smiling, then pointed at him.

"Testing," he moved his finger to Dia and Platinum. "Testing, she'd be hung." Black and White. "He'd be tested, she'd be hung." Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald. "Testing, testing, testing," Gold, Crystal, and Silver. "Testing, testing, testing, aaaaand your seniors, with the exception of Yellow, would be hung~!" he grinned wildly. "You should be groveling on your hands and knees, thanking me and begging me for forgiveness. We, essentially, saved your asses from a life of pain and torture!"

"H-How can you laugh about something like that?" Crystal asked. Onyx cast a long look at her, then moved his eyes back down to Hope. He flipped her over again and began rubbing behind her ears.

"Because," he shrugged. "You get used to it. Anyways, don't get me wrong, we initially wanted your help, not just for Hope."

"What else could you need?" Silver asked.

"Your image." Onyx said. "I got my dex when I was just a little kid. Prof. Maple was forced to put most of her research towards the N.O. and they thought they eliminated the chances of dexholders even existing in Tolerin. But they didn't know that we got them before Prof. Maple was forced to work for them." he grinned. "So, imagine if we had all of you on our side? Like it or not, you guys are freaking legends. Adults respect you, kids strive to be like you... and everyone wants to impress you. If we had you, even one of you, on our side... The N.O. would possibly have a whole entire region of people wanting to back us up. We'd crush them."

"Yeah, because a great way to get out help is to kidnap one of our friends, right?" Black muttered sarcastically. Onyx shot him a glance.

"Remember, Black, groveling and begging. I saved your ass from testing." Onyx grinned. "Besides, even if the threat of your impending doom wasn't looming over mine and Jade's head, would you really believe us if we knocked on your door and said 'Hey, our country is being taken over by a dictatorship and people are getting tortured in jail cells. Help us out, please?'." there was a long pause.

"Personally," Ruby said, leaning back. "I'd be convinced you were crazy and probably would've slammed the door in your face."

"Exactly. We had to get your attention. We needed a witness." his smile never faltered as his gaze moved to Yellow. "That wound you healed on Hope? Caused by the N.O."

"Y-You're saying you wanted me to see that?"

"Essentially. I mean, we have more to show you, but that's the main reason. Then we tell you our story, and you go home to Pallet. Happy reunion, whoo-hoo, and then," he folded his hands in front of him, eyes watering as he raised his voice an octave. "Red, we need to help them! Listen to what I they told me!"

"Erm..." Yellow blushed, looking down. Some snickers arose in the room as Onyx dropped the little act.

"But those N.O. bastards got to you first, so we had to change tactics." Onyx stated, going back to rubbing Hope behind the ears. "That little battle thing we did was just a test, really." he smiled at them. "You can tell a lot from a person simply by spending a few minutes with them. And then that little Fire or Ice thing was just to confirm our theories."

"Jade seemed to have pinpointed us pretty easily." Crystal recalled. Onyx's grin grew.

"Bingo, Pigtails." he said. "Although, we didn't exactly anticipate Kristoff going through his Awakening at that moment... and then he chased us down and the whole 'Jade in exchange for Red' thing..." he trailed off, then abruptly stood. "Holy shit!"

"What?!" Emerald exclaimed.

"Opal! That's what! That was the other half of the deal! In exchange for Jade, I get Red and Opal!" he whipped around, and began pacing, Hope wining as she realized her petter was gone. "So Orange said something about pink lightening over Cinnibar Island... that must've been where she landed. Well, holy fucks, why in Giritina's hellcrater am I still standing here? I've gotta get to Cinnabar!"

"We can't right now, Onyx." Green stated. "I've got more questions for you... and it's late. We're still trying to figure out what's going on."

"But she'd my sister! I can't just leave her there! Arceus knows what the N.O. did to her over three years!"

"We're exhausted Onyx. I understand your point of view, honest, but we can't." Green responded. "But if it will help, I'll call Blaine. He might be able to get to Cinnabar and find her. Give her a place to stay for the night." Onyx mulled this over for a minute.

"Fine." he plopped back down on the couch. "Last I saw her, she was physically small, like Yellow. She had brown hair and light pink eyes. Sorry, haven't seen her in three years, so I can't give you much else."

"That's fine." Green said as he left the room to make the call.

"You make it out like the N.O. are horrible people." Emerald said after the heavy silence passed. "Who are the N.O.?"

"First off," Onyx stated as Green walked back in.

"Blain said he'd go and look." Green stated. Onyx nodded.

"'N.O.' is just an abbreviation. They call themselves the 'New Order'. Like the name, they strive for order and cleanliness."

"That doesn't sound so bad." Crystal said.

"Really, now?" Onyx asked. "We have to have licenses to play music and instruments, and that's only instruments they deemed as 'proper'. Countless bands and singers have be outlawed. There is a uniform everyone in the country has to wear. And if you fail the test of orderliness and refuse to go through the procedure to get it fixed, you get jailed." he leaned back. "The Peacekeepers, which is like the N.O. police force, have a blackmarket going on. They know it's illegal, but The Leader, or, if ya wanna be proper, The One Who Is The Leader, okay's it so they continue working."

"A blackmarket?" Gold asked. "Like, are we talking illegal stuff like drugs or unlicensed beer and cigarettes or are we talking-"

"Pokémon and people too." Onyx cut in. "And they call the jails 'correctional facilities'. But there's nothing to correct. They're basically holding cells for kids on the blackmarket. You know, a 'you do me a favor, I'll do you a favor'. Peacekeepers pay the matron's a hefty sum, take ten or so kids, and they're never seen again."

"Onyx..." Yellow spoke up. "Do you... do you know if they do experiments in the jails? L-Like trying t-to combine pokémon and humans together as h-hybrids?" Onyx widened his eyes.

"I've had my suspicions... but I never thought they'd actually try it." Onyx stated. "How do you know this?"

"I-I saw it in a dream." Yellow said. "It was like... I dunno..." she swallowed. "I'm not sure how to describe it. It's like I was conscious but unconscious. Like I was there, but no one else could see me." she rubbed her temples. "It's hard to explain. But I was there and saw some men carry a girl over their shoulders out of a cell. She had eevee ears and a tail. She was d-dead." there was a small silence.

"Arceus, it pisses me off so much! Everyone in Tolerin, every single adult with the exception of a few... are completely brainwashed into thinking the N.O. is the way to go! Like this is all okay!" Onyx ranted as he clenched his fists tightly. "But not us."

"Who's us?" Blue asked.

"Us. Like, us, kids, teens, in general. We've still got that creative spark, that hope and the shamelessness that lets us dance and act like complete morons and not give a shit if anyone cares." he scowled. "But that doesn't conform to the New Order. So we get arrested. And sold. And barely fed."

"So what do you expect us to do?" Yellow asked. Onyx swallowed, then looked up from Hope, who had crawled onto his lap again.

"Help me find Opal and Jade. Then help us get rid of the N.O."

o.0.o.0.o

"That was noble of you." Green blinked from the book he was reading, glancing at Blue as she rolled over and sat up, blanket around her shoulders.

Green wasn't sure how it had come about, but the discussion of sleeping arrangements came. Platinum stated that there were a total of four bedrooms here with two beds a piece. Crystal immediately wanted to make it so that those of a separate gender could not sleep in the same room. But Blue, as if prepared, suggested pulling names. This led to the obvious argument that it was rigged, which Blue took offense too, to the point where it went something like this: Senior Privilege and Ladies First.

So Crystal and Yellow got one room, Platinum and White got another, Gold bunked with Black, Dia with Pearl, and Onyx and Silver took refuge on one of the many couches. Blue said she planned on sleeping on one of the couches, so Green assumed that he could take a room. When he later got up to go to sleep, he found her, fast asleep on one of the beds.

Though he wanted to ask her what this was all about, he opted out and decided to simply take the other bed. After a few initial tries of going to sleep, he realized that he couldn't, and decided to simply read instead.

"You know, calling Blaine and asking him to search for Opal?"

"We can't leave some girl just lost on Cinnabar." he responded. "I don't care who she is. The Cinnabar volcano is still active."

"Well, it was sweet."

"You said just a few moments ago that it was noble."

"It's both." Blue laughed as she plopped down next to him. He raised an eyebrow at this. Blue grinned back at him.

"What? Don't like my company?"

"Your company was fine when you were on the other bed, thank you." he said. Blue huffed, but didn't move.

"What're you reading so late?"

"I'm not even sure. I keep re-reading the same line over and over."

"Hummm..." Blue muttered, glancing over at the book. Uninterested, she sat back. "What do you think? A legit story or what?"

"Honestly," Green said. "I've heard of more farfetched. Team Galactic, for one. So this New Order isn't all that shocking."

"Well, yeah, it's plausible. But are we going to help them or what?" Blue asked. "I think we should try to get Jade back. It's fairly obvious that Onyx is going to hunt those two down, with or without us."

"I promised him we would. But I'm worried." Green said.

"About what?"

"When he was talking about us getting hung, he laughed it off, like it was no big deal."

"He was pretty jovial about it." Blue confirmed. "It must be a cover-up or something. Like... maybe he's hiding behind a smile and acting all happy to keep himself together. Judging by his story, a lot has happened to him. I wouldn't blame him."

"But no normal human being laughs off a death like that."

"But is it normal for a human being to become quiet and reclusive from being around death all the time?" Blue asked. "I'm referring to Jade. She's cold as ice. I'm guessing they've known each other for a long time. They've probably seen a lot of the same things. So they've probably both found ways to cope: Jade cold and stoic so that she's not hurt by her emotions when they do show, and Onyx happy and humorous so that he can hide what he truly feels. It's so they balance each other out."

"I see..."

"And now that they were forcibly separated, Onyx is probably gonna just plaster on more fakeness."

"So you trust him." Green stated. Blue looked at him for a long time.

"Honestly? I can't say. But I know what I saw in that forest and the fact that Jade is with them alone... It scares me. That's why I say we track her down and get her back." there was a pause.

"Go back to your own bed. I'm going to sleep." Green said. Blue pouted, but crawled out of the bed and went back to her own bed. Green turned off the lamp, laying on his back in order to get more comfortable.

Then he was rudely interrupted with a sudden weight falling on his arm.

Cracking open an eyelid, he groaned inwardly seeing that Blue was snuggling, snuggling, against him. He knew that there was something up her sleeve when she planned this.

"Arceus, Blue." he mumbled as he tried to move her off his arm. But no. Instead, the girl snuggled closer to him. Now he knew she was doing this on purpose. "Blue!" he whispered harshly.

Nothing. No movements, no sounds but her steady breathing. He was contemplating his choices. It wouldn't take much for him to shove her off. Nothing was stopping him, nor was anything forcing him to sleep with Blue up against him.

Yet there was a small voice in the back of his head was saying that there was something, because if he truly didn't care, he would've shoved the girl off the bed.

Pushing the small voice away, he decided the only reason that he wasn't pushing Blue away was that he knew it would be horribly rude, and it wasn't like anyone was going to walk in on them. And even if someone did, they weren't doing anything inappropriate or wrong. Just sleeping. Next to each other. On the same bed.

He felt his face heat up uncharacteristically. Slowly, he swallowed, trying to calm his beating heart.

"Pesky woman." he muttered, closing his eyes to sleep.

He missed the small smile that crossed Blue's features as he drifted into a content sleep.

"Blaine! There's nothing here! We need to leave!"

"No. Green was adamant! There's a girl here, somewhere. We just have to find her!"

"Wait a minute... Blaine! I think we found something!" Blain lifted his electric lantern and followed the calls, and saw two of his volunteers around a huddled figure.

She was a small, frail-looking thing. In the light, he saw long, brown hair that fell so that, despite her sitting up, it was barely brushing the ground. Her clothes were ragged and she had no shoes or socks. She was curled with her knees to her chest, hands over her ears as she rocked back and forth, repeating something over and over.

"... I am searching for my big brother. They're after my big brother. They're going to capture him. I escaped from a hell. But they let me go." she sucked in a shaky breath. "My name is Opal Kokuyōseki. I am searching for my big brother. They're after my big brother. They're going to capture him. I escaped from hell. But they let me go."

Patiently waiting for a boy worth believing, patiently waiting for a chance to believe. So don't believe me when I say this will pass, 'cause yes I'm guilty of praying this will last. Another moment would be all I need to fix your path so it led to me. You tell yourself it's just a feeling, just a feeling, you get when no one's around. So swallow your pride, say something more. Stop pretending you're fine, trying to ignore all that they left behind. We could settle the score. Start living for something worth dying for, what are you waiting for?
