Sun tried to calm down,breathing in and out deeply.First Moon had almost been Broken and now he was who knows where!
"This is a little like what happened to Jake"Darkfire said,walking over.
"Oh,you mean the Dreamflower thing?Yeah,I guess it's simmilar...But if what happened to Jake happens to Moon,I'll...I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget!"Sun said,looking angry as she remembered what had happened last time.She didn't expect Moon to do the same,of course,but after she had seen his outburst,she wasn't sure what other strange things he would do.
"Be calm,Sun.You wouldn't want to scare Moon when he wakes up"Darkfire said,her voice showing nothing.
"And how are you so sure he's going to wake up?"Sun asked,demanding an answer.
"Just stay calm,as Darkfire said.This usually does happen after a Breaking.Either it turns out good,or it turns out bad.For Moon,there's no doubt that it will turn out good"Unmei said,letting out a small sigh.He couldn't tell Sun everything that would happen,since she would probably freak out or something,so this was enough for now.No more lies would be told.Unmei would make sure of that.
Sharp kept running until she was out of breath.She stopped in the middle of nowhere,trying to catch her breath.Sharp rubbed her eyes repeatedly with a paw as she breathed in and out slowly now."Alone again"
As Skyburst walked,he tried to ignore the voice in his head telling him to hurry up.'What are you doing?You're wasting time!Don't you know that you don't have enough time to take this slowly?'the voice shouted at Skyburst,sounding very impatient."Shut up.It's your own fault you died.Don't pester me because of that"he growled,then continued walking as the voice shut up,at least for a little while.
The water in mid-air started to turn the darkness coming off of Akulion into many spirals,looking excited.As the spirals grew,they parted to form an empty circle.The black water remained its color and four of the edges of that water creeped into the empty circle,combining at the middle to form another spiral.This one was different,seeming to bleed...Acid.The acid slid down the water and dripped onto the grass,sizzling it without hesitation.As this was happening,the spiral in the middle took on a different shape.
Drake remained unconcious,but in his mind,he was struggling to awaken.
Akulion's eyes widened as he looked down at Drake.His vision became blurry and the paw in the air suddenly felt too heavy to keep up.He put his paw down,still breathing heavily.Akulion's acid-green eyes still glowed,the glow getting eerier by the second.Wings sprouted out of his back,making him stiffen at the sudden dull pain.It was starting to happen.He was falling into his curse and nothing could stop it.
Moon woke up in darkness.He let out a little gasp,the things he had seen from before racing quickly through his mind.Moon stood up,turning away from the Raichu he knew was there.
"Are you okay,Moon?"Nina asked,putting herself into a sitting position.
"I...I can't believe I did that"Moon said,his eyes wide.He was sitting in complete darkness,but could still be seen.
"It's expected from anyone who gets through Breaking"Nina replied,sighing.
Moon turned to look at Nina,puzzled."Someone survived from the Breaking?"
"Two did"Nina corrected.A bit of worry came into her eyes as she fixed her own mistake."With you,I guess it's three"
"How is that possible?"Moon asked,curious about this.He wasn't one to ask questions,but he knew almost nothing about what he had gone through and that bothered him.
"I really don't know...Hey,shouldn't we be getting back?They might get worried if we don't"Nina said,pretty much trying to dodge the subject.She didn't like talking about it.
"No.You can go if you want,I'm staying for a little bit longer.I can't feel much here.It's a nice change"Moon simply replied.
"You'd...You know what could happen if you stay here for too long"Nina said,shaking her head angrily.
"I know.It's fine if it does happen.In the real world,it is nothing like this"Moon softly said.
"Of course it's nothing like this!In the real world,you're with friends and family.That's the only difference"Nina said,not looking happy at what Moon was saying.
"Well,what about you?You're the exact same.You run from pain,just like I do"Moon said,looking at Nina with calm eyes.
"So,we've figured out that both of us are cowards when it comes to feelings.Anything else you want to add before I go and let you kill yourself?"Nina growled,crossing her arms.
"...We're still friends,right?"Moon asked,sitting down.
Nina stared at Moon,caught completely off guard."Er...That's a wierd question.After all I did,you would still want to be friends with someone like me?"
"Yes"Moon simply replied,trying to get himself to smile.It wasn't as easy as he thought it would be.
"...WHY?"Nina asked,looking at Moon like he was going crazy.
"After all this time,you still care.I know what happens at night,Nina"Moon said,looking serious.
Nina had to look away from Moon."Don't remind me.I told you not to remind me.Every time I think about that...It makes me sick"
"It wasn't your fault.It's the past,I just have to get over it"Moon replied,walking over."You gonna answer my question?"
Nina stood up."I guess we are,but you know we have different lives.You on one side,me on the other.Just won't work"
"It won't work?After years of never having any contact,we still care as much as we used to.Don't tell me it won't work"Moon said,looking determined.
Nina sighed."Only one side wins,Moon.In order for that to happen,someone has to die"
"We don't have to fight.It could just go back to the way it used to be"Moon said.
"I don't believe in the way it used to be anymore,I believe in a new world rising over this one"Nina said,knowing it was never going to work.
"...I understand"Moon said,knowing the same.
"Hey,we have to go now.Your screaming was loud and that means that others heard it"Nina said,looking a little afraid.
"Your fear is big.Do you fight with it?I don't understand how one can fight when all that fear weights her down"Moon said,looking at Nina's eyes to see if any fear was there.
"I have many fears,but it doesn't weigh me down.Nothing will"Nina said,raising her head.
"Okay.I still have yet to figure out how you think,but I'm glad that you're taking care of yourself"Moon said,giving up on his smile.
"Now come on,Moon.Let's get out of here"Nina said,then turned and started walking.
Moon followed her."Just step off of the edge,right?"
"Right"Nina replied,trying to make her fear go away.
Moon looked around at the darkness,knowing he would miss it.He felt almost nothing here.It was a great feeling that would soon disappear.
OOC again: Finally!Oh geez,this took me so long.
