So here's chapter three of part two! I hope you enjoy!

Amy47101 does not own pokémon or Witch and Wizard, which this story is loosely based off of. She only owns Jade, Onyx, Opal, and Orange(who she forgot to mention the last two chapters). Sorry Orange!

The Jade and Onyx Arc

Part Two

The Exposed

A young woman around eighteen years of age sat idly atop a tree, one white-booted leg laying across a branch, the other crossing over for modesty, despite the nighttime assuring that no people were out in the forest. She wore a light blue sweater-dress that fell to mid thight with loose sleeves that went off the shoulder and fell to her elbows. Over that she wore a black dress, a little shorter than the sweater, that went up to a collar. Two black bracelets hung at her wrists, one around each one, and yellow fanny pack hung from her waist.

Long, light brown, stick-straight hair fell to her mid-back, hair framing her face as a red headband sat behind her strangely shaped bangs, styled to look oddly like that of a certain dexholder that she knew was in Celedon city. A red pokéball was embroidered on the lower right hand corner of her black dress, a reminder of what she was and who she was fighting for.

Turquoise eyes opened, glancing to look at the shadow that had ensnared one of her wrists. Holding it up, she blinked, watching with amusement as it tried to tug her out of the tree. Slowly, her lips curled back into a snarl, successfully scaring the shadow away.

"Heeheehee!" she giggled, standing up with a surprising amount of grace and balance. "Seems we've got a Darkening here. And they're already tailing me? Heeheehee!" she smiled, leaping up the branches until she was at the top. "How rude! I just got here!" she smirked in the direction of Celedon. "But I may as well help him. Arceus knows they have enough trouble without the Darkened chasing them down for no apparent reason."

With the surprising agility of a Meowth, the young woman leapt from the tree, landing on all fours. Then she sped off, closer and closer to from Celadon City.

Blue woke up for a moment, blinking blearily. She glanced at Green, sleeping peacefully beside her, his nose nestled into her hair, breathing lightly against her forehead. She smiled slightly as she felt his arm still around her, and she snickered. She couldn't wait to blackmail him into something, anything. It's be such a joy to see the look on his face. Hell, she wish she could see the look on his face when he woke up the next morning.

Slowly, she rolled out of bed to get some water. Green groaned in protest, but simply flopped onto his back. Blue giggled lightly again, though yawning slightly as she blinked blearily. She glanced around. She didn't quite remember her vision in the dark being so clear, but whatever.

She walked into the bathroom adjoining the bedroom, and blinked as the light didn't turn on. Whatever. She filled a small paper cup with water, looking up as she sipped from it. She choked on the water at her reflection. Gagging slightly, waiting for her throat to clear out, the looked in the mirror again. Slowly, she glanced behind her. Nothing was there. Surely, it was a dream.

She turned back to the mirror.

The cup of water dropped from her hand, clattering into the sink.

Onyx snapped his eyes awake. Something was off. Something was wrong.

Slowly, he stood up, looking around the dimly lit room, the only light being the morning sun drifting in from the floor to ceiling windows. He glanced around slowly, wondering what woke him so suddenly. He glanced at the reflections in the glass, catching Silver sleeping on the couch. He widened his eyes as he saw something shift by the redhead, and he whipped around, seeing a shadow looking alarmingly like Silver with slit eyes and mouth. It must have known that he was watching, because it slowly looked up. The slits for eyes curved upward while the mouth curved downwards, as if it was laughing at him.

Then it's hand plunged for the redheads chest.

Onyx was across the room in second, flaming fist through the shadow. It shrieked, and earsplitting sound, as it dissipated into thin air. Onyx let out a sigh of relief, looking at his fist, smoking slightly from the attack, then frowned. He hated having to reveal it in front of others, but it was the only way he could really think of destroying them.

He shot a glance to SIlver. He seemed fast asleep, but that was about to change.

"Yo, redhead, wake up!" Onyx shouted, grabbing his shoulder and flipping him off the couch. Silver tumbled onto the floor, waking up disgruntled, then glaring coldly at him.

"Why." It was a demand, not an question. Onyx didn't care though.

"Wake up your friends, we've got company." he said. "And not the good kind."

"What do you mean?"

"Wake up everyone, now!" Onyx shot back, impatience showing. Silver looked taken aback, then nodded. He bolted down the hallway, and Onyx turned to the nearest lamp. These things hated light with a passion. More light they have the more chance they have of escape. He yanked the chain, then yanked it again. No result. He glanced at the plug, seeing that it was plugged in.

Grabbing up his bag and Jade's, with Hope on his heels, he bolted around, flicking random light switches and pulling random cords, waiting for a lamp to come on. He even opened the fridge, hoping to be bathed in a frigid light. He got bathed in frigid air, but light was a no show.

"Did they cut the power?" he wondered aloud. He shook his head. No time for wondering, he had to get everyone out of bed! Out of this room!

He bolted around, slamming open doors and glancing in, only to move onto the next. He came across countless parlors and stuff of the sort, but if he didn't find a bedroom soon, he was going to go insane!

"Onyx!" He saw White running down the hallway with her hair down and her bag thrown over her shoulder. She was in her pajamas, her casual clothes sticking out of the pink purse. Platinum hurried alongside her, still in her nightgown, her bag and clothes in a similar state. " We were woken up by Silver, he seemed panicked, almost!"

"What on earth is going on?!" Platinum demanded.

"We're under attack. I'm trying to round everyone up. They cut the power in the room, I don't know what else is going on, if it's just the room or the entire hotel."

"You mean the attack or power outage?" White asked. Onyx paused.

"I think the attack is limited to us. Usually the N.O. doesn't bring in innocent people unless completely necessary." he stated grimly. He shoved the two bags into White's hands, then picked up Hope and passed her to Platinum. "Get out of here, now."

"Run? Can't we fight them?" Platinum asked, looking at the pokémon in her arms. Hope cried out her name in protest.

"Not you, no. Me?" Onyx grinned. "Sure." he glanced about. "Go, now. Get to the ground floor, outside if you can. You see any of the other dexholders, tell them the same thing, okay?" Platinum nodded obediently while White seemed hesitant. "Go!" Both girls nodded, bolting down the hallway.

Onyx turned around, running. What were they after? Him? No, they couldn't. They had Jade, and he was surrounded by people. Opal was an easier target than him, she was alone and confused, probably mentally unstable, physically unfit. A thought flitted across his mind. Could there be...? Was it even possible...?!

He bolted down the hallway. A couple people ran past, but his mind didn't register who it was. He had a sinking feeling who they were after.

Green was awoken to something getting knocked over.

He bolted up, seeing the lamp on the nightstand had toppled over onto the floor, shattering. Blue wasn't in the bed. Where was she?

Something flickered out of his perpetual vision and he whipped towards the movement.

"Blue?" he asked. The girl was known for her pranks. Surely she was simply taking advantage of his stressed out and completely paranoid mind to get a good scare in. He narrowed his eyes a bit. Something darted across the floor again. "Blue, stop this nonsense." He got on his knees to get a better vision of the room. Where was the pesky girl?

He widened his eyes as something flickered in the corner, eyes fixated on the spot. Something rose from the spot. It seemed to be shaped like Blue, similar outline. He assumed it was her. He expected her to smile, step out of the shadows, and laugh, saying: "You caught me, Greeny!" In which he would responded with, "Don't call me that. Go back to bed."

But instead, slits for eyes and mouths that looked eerily similar to those he recalled on Ice Mask a couple years back, though instead of a smile, it was simply a blank look. A straight line for a mouth and eyes. They stared at him for a moment. He stared back. Suddenly, she leapt forward, arms outstretched as shadow-like hands clamped around his throat. He went flying back, slamming against the mattress, head resting on the pillow. She... It was straddling him, hands squeezing his throat. It simply stared, squeezing tighter, the pressure increasing.

He stared in shock for a moment, then began fighting back, punching and kicking. He widened his eyes as his limbs went through the creature. Like it was a shadow. The pressure increased, and he began coughing and gasping. He watched in horror as the eyes went from straight lines to curving upwards, mouth curving downwards, suddenly looking identical to Ice Mask's mask. Slowly, it leaned down next to his ear. He watched as it said something, though it's mouth didn't move. It was as if it was projecting it's thoughts.

"What is it, Greeny?" it snickered, the voice sounding eerily like Blue, the nickname said girl came up with for him. "Feeling under the weather?" It cackled, then it leaned back up so it was looking at him, increasing the pressure. Green saw spots go around his vision, and he knew it was bad.

His hand knocked against the nightstand, and he snatched up his pendant. Ignoring the fact that it was glowing a strange bluish-green light, he thrust his hand through the things chest. Suddenly, it shrieked in agony, leaping back for a moment. Green scrambled up after gasping for a moment, holding the pendant in front of him as the strange shadow flickered around, glaring at him.

Green didn't say anything for a moment, slowly moving the pendant so that it was around his neck. He watched the shadow out of the corner of his eye as he snatched up his belongings, slinging Blue's bag over his shoulder as he looked frantically for the girl. Had she already made a run for it?

Unsettled by the shadow that followed him around the room with it's eyes, he bolted out of the room. Trying to wrap his mind around what happened, he slammed into something. Said 'something' reached out and grabbed his shoulder. Out of sheer reflex, he swung as hard as he could, earning the sound of a crack and a cry of pain.

"Ow! Fuck, you can hit!" Onyx cried out. Green panted slightly, trying to regain his bearings.

"What's going on?" he demanded.

"Grievers." Onyx stated. "That's what. We've got a lot of problems. I think everyone else is out and-" he blinked, looking at the still glowing pendant. "Holy shit." Onyx stated, staring at it. "Where did you get that?"

"I've always had it." Green responded. Onyx blinked, then looked to the side.

"Do you know where Blue is?" he asked slowly. Green blinked.

"I don't know, one of those... Griever things nearly strangled me to death. I was in such a hurry to get myself away from them that I just hoped she already left." Onyx glanced at the yellow bag hanging from his shoulder.

"Without her bag and pokémon?" he asked. Green widened his eyes at this, realizing that he had left Blue alone with... with those things. He whipped back around to get her, to find her before he found a corpse, but was stopped when Onyx grabbed his shoulder. "Don't. I need you alive, as of now."

"What do you mean?" Green asked, whipping back around. Onyx pointed to the pendant.

"That," he said. "Should not be glowing like that, right? Which means something happened. I think I know what's going on, but in order for this to work out, I need to talk to Blue alone right now." he looked forward. "I have a feeling that she's not going to be happy if you see her right now." he turned back around. "But that thing will keep the Grievers away. But hide it for now, okay? Once we split up, I'll make sure to get you and Blue. Then we'll discuss what's going on. If I'm right," Onyx smirked. "Then maybe my life won't be so sorrowful."

Onyx watched as Green tucked the pendant under his shirt, then bolted down the hallway. He turned back towards the direction he came, and inhaled, sorting out the plethora of scents until...

"There we go." he smirked, sprinting forward. He whipped around the corner, running into an open room and immediately plunging a flaming fist into a shadow. He whipped around, letting out a menacing snarl as a couple more Grievers began to surround them. With his one fist in flames, successfully deterring them for the time being, he eased himself towards the bathroom door.

He knew that he couldn't open the door with a flaming fist for fear of startling Blue, who he knew was on the other side. But he also knew that the minute he let up the light, the Grievers would attack. Growling, he, in one swift motion, opened the door, doused the flames around his wrist, and slammed the door shut. He turned to Blue, and saw her sitting in the corner, struggling to fend off the Greiver with its hands around her neck.

"Blue!" he said suddenly. He bolted forward, the Greiver hissing at him and his flaming hand. Blue inhaled sharply, gasping for breath as the pressure was suddenly gone. She glanced up at his flaming hand with wide eyes.

"What-?"

"It's just a little trick." Onyx grinned.

"That thing..." she trailed off, gaze flicking around the bathroom. "That thing had its hands around my neck. It ambushed me."

"They're cowards like that." Onyx replied, helping her up. "I think everyone else got out, but that also means that they have their full attention on us now." Blue smirked.

"Sounds fun."

"Ain't it, though?" Onyx snickered. "Anyways, we need to tread carefully. Don't let them distract you. They might try to show you an illusion." he glanced at the bathroom door. "Follow my lead."

One hand around Blue's forearm, with the other, slowly, he eased the door open, and before the Grievers even had a chance to turn their heads, her alit the same hand in flames. Blue gasped at the sudden fire, jerking back slightly, but Onyx held tight.

"Not smart. Those things will tear you to pieces. Just stick close to me and move slowly. Those things," he looked up at the Grievers, eyes following them with every move. "Don't like light. But if I make the flames much bigger than this, then I'll light the room on fire, and we don't need that, do we?" he snickered slightly as they eased along the wall, slowly. "Oh, and don't tell anyone about this, either, okay?"

"You know I can blackmail you easily now, right?" she stated quietly, though with her tell-tale smirk. Onyx rolled his eyes.

"We're going to bolt the minute we get to the front door." Onyx said, easing the bedroom door open and walking out. Blue felt her stomach drop as the Shadows circled around them, as stalking their prey before attacking. She found it more unsettling that there was nothing but slits for eyes and a mouth and they strangely resembled the dexholders.

She glanced up. They were almost at the door. Onyx glanced at her.

"Ready?"

"Yeah." she answered. Onyx nodded, and with movement that seemed almost to fast for her eyes, the flames were gone and they were bolting down the hallway. The Grievers shrieked at the opportunity and began to chase them.

Blue stumbled as she tried to keep up with Onyx, for the seventeen-year-old seemed to be going at an almost inhuman speed, the finely painted hallways and decorations blurring past her. How was he so fast? On a side note, she withheld the temptation to laugh as adrenaline pumped through her veins.

Onyx practically kicked through the doors to the stairs, and bolted down them. Blue followed as quickly as possible. They went down maybe fifteen or so flights of stairs. She turned to go down another flight of stairs, not to surprised to see Onyx already at the bottom of that flight. She turned to go down, then shrieked as one of the Grievers grabbed her ankle, sending her sprawling forward.

One minute she was on the ground, the next she was being whipped around and was flying through the air. She remembered hearing the loud cackles of the Grievers, hearing a shout of fear from Onyx, then her back collided with something hard. It seemed to go in slow motion for a few seconds as something cracked and shifted under her weight. She felt something dig painfully into her back and suddenly was assaulted by the cold night air.

"Huh," she thought absentmindedly as she stared up at the stars, feeling weightless for a moment. "What a clear night it is tonight."

Then gravity kicked in.

She was falling, falling fast. She stared at the shattered window that she fell from, one arm outstretched as if she expected Onyx or even a Griever to grab her hand and pull her back to safety. She saw a flash of orange and heard shrieks of rage and agony. Onyx was frantically looking over the edge, and a part of Blue's mind, her silly, sarcastic part, she was glad she was wearing her silly squirtle-patterned pajama pants and T-shirt. No doubt if she was wearing a nightgown, like Platinum had donned in, Onyx would have no doubt had seen what was under the skirt.

She was the queen of blackmail, and there was no way that she was going to allow that grinning idiot to take over the title.

"BLUE!"

Someone was screaming her name, but she was having trouble placing who, exactly, it was. No, two people. Two... a male... a female... but who? She couldn't tell... But she knew that, by the grace of Arceus, if or if she did not survive this fall, everything would be changed. Forever changed.

She remembered crashing into some trees and blacking out.
