This was nothing. Those damn spiders were easy to kill the problem was the numbers. They kept coming but I still continued to smash them and zap them with any attacks. I heard a scream and turned to see who it was. I saw Estelle being sucked into something.
"ESTELLE!!!" I screamed as I ran towards it. "EXTREME SPEED!" She was reaching out for me and I was running to her trying to grab her. "ESTELLE! ESTELLE!!!" I got there and dove to her but as I dove she completely disappeared and I fell flat on my face. I quickly sat up panting in a cold sweat. Where was she? "ESTELLE? ESTELLE? DAMN IT GIVE HER BACK!"
More spiders came at me and I continued to yell in my own rage. "GIVE HER BACK YOU BASTARDS! GIVE HER BACK NOW!" Suddenly I stopped myself and felt a familiar urge to kill once again. My heart began to beat faster...it felt like when I lost control of myself so long ago.
"Interesting." The dark voice said from behind me. I turned to him and used a thunder fang and went right threw him. How could that be possible? I stood there grinding my teeth and showing my claws. "I have been watching you for some time Luxy boy!"
"GO TO HELL!" I snapped growling at him. My eyes began to turn back into the way they were when I went dark. The only difference is I was in control and I wanted that power to kill this being in front of me. "Where is Estelle give her back?"
"You want her? How about you join her!" The dark voice said raising one of his fists towards me and than opening it up. I felt a dark presence around me and I couldn't move. "Now sleep Luxy boy."
Where the hell did he hear that name? Damn it I was weakening and suddenly I was asleep. I too was sucked into the darkness.
~In The Realm of Fear~
My eyes flickered as I lay there in the green grass. I sat up and looked around the area seemed familiar. I saw a trail and began to walk on it, why was this familiar? After some time walking, I came to a village and to my surprise; it was my home where I was born. I saw so many faces that I knew. I quickly ran in to find my house. It wasn’t long before I did and I saw my mother and father cleaning clothes and cooking dinner.
“MOM! DAD!” I yelled as I excitedly ran to them. They both looked up and smiled. I quickly ran to them and hugged them, however, to my dismay I went threw them. I turned around and heard someone else yell mom and dad. But why didn’t they see me. I looked at the house and put my hand to it, it went threw as well. Was I a ghost or was this all an illusion? I turned my attention back to my parents I saw the younger version of me crying and running towards them.
Quickly my father ran to his my child hood side and embraced me. I stood there watching this scene and I remembered it very well.
“What happened Lux?” Asked my father as he hugged young Lux.
“Don’t tell me you were picked on again in school? Oh dear your glasses are broken. Did you get in a fight?” My mother worried as she came to kneel down beside my former self.
“Wahhhhh…..wahhhh…*sniff* the other kids picked on me today in school because I got perfect scores on all of my tests on types of Pokémon and moves. After school on my way home. *sniff hick sniff* Xio and a bunch of his friends jumped me.” The little version of me cried. “I know you said don’t fight back so I didn’t. I tried to run away but I wasn’t fast enough.”
“It’s okay Lux.” My father assured me patting his child’s head. “You don’t need to fight back because someday your power will become stronger than theirs. They are jealous of you.”
My father was a good man. In the village he was the second strongest Luxray. He could have been number one but he wasn’t power hungry like his rival who was the number one seed who also happened to be Xio’s dad. My dad had always trained me but my aim was never really there. I could calculate and know my surrounding and set traps that way to win a battle but when it came to one on one, I was weak. However, my father said that as I grew I would become stronger and find something that was worth fighting for. What was most important was my education.
“Come inside dear. Lets get you cleaned up and into some cleaner clothes.” My mother said sweetly with a smile. The younger me nodded and smiled and whipped his tears in the sleeve of his shirt.
Yeah, my mom was something else too. I hadn’t seen any woman as beautiful as her. She was only a Luxio but her and my dad were perfect for each other. She always bought my clothes or made me knew ones. Her favorite outfit for me were some suspenders with a button up shirt with a pocket. She even made sure my glasses were in style. Regardless of what I was wearing I was always made fun of yet the clothes she picked for me made me feel comfortable. Sadly, in many ways I already knew that I was the nerd in school. She was so caring and sang to me before bedtime or even read me stories. Humph, I guess my singing voice came from her. She actually was very popular in the village, which made it easy for me to talk with adults, but not so easy with kids my own age.
As I watched the scene, it began to fade into darkness, suddenly I was standing in the dark by myself.
“So why are you showing me that?” I asked knowing that the being was nearby.
“You were very smart as a child, weren’t you?” Asked the being in an empathic tone.
“Still am?” I replied back sorta cocky.
“Yet you were always afraid to go to school because of how kids treated you? However, you don’t even dress the same way you did back than. Actually you are the opposite, you are a jock.” He chuckled.
“What are you implying?” I asked looking around. “I don’t need to wear glasses anymore because my eyesight is better than it used to be. I don’t think the clothes I wore as a child are in. I feel comfortable with what I am wearing right now.”
“Isn’t that the same fashion statement as Xio?” He asked as he appeared in front of me.
“NO!” I snapped.
“I see you hate being referred to Xio, the one that tormented you. Your past is pretty ugly…” He paused. “Though I doubt you remember it all. I mean I think it was better that you be alone and grow up. It was the right thing to do. Team Galactic did you a favor that day by killing everyone in the village because of how weak you were. Your so called friends sold you out!”
“Shut up!”
“You were tossed in the river to drown but you survived and saw the bloody mess that was left behind. You were unable to save anyone not your village…”
“Shut up!”
“Not you family, your mother or father were killed. Everyone was dead and you were alone!”
“SHUT UP!” I screamed using a thunderbolt.
Silence was in the air. I didn’t sense him around me. I began to breath hard. My memories were coming back of that haunting day. The flames that I saw from the river side, the bloody grass on the grounds, the bodies of friends and people from the village, the limbs of everyone that I knew, and the lifelessness of my parents holding each other. It scared me…
“I…I….” I muttered holding back tears. “I don’t want to be alone anymore. I am scared of being alone. I don’t want to lose anyone else I love..”
At that moment the darkness around began to fast forward and I saw my self-standing on a cliff. Suddenly chains with handcuffs came out of the ground and wrapped around my ankles and wrists. I tried to move but was unable.
“It is interesting to see someone as powerful as yourself breakdown and cry.” The being said as he appeared from behind a tree. He looked like a shadow but than transformed into a Luxray Ginjika, one that resembled my father. “But than again, even the mighty have their limits.” He than laughed in my face and smiled at me.
My anger was already growing from the torment he had already put me and the rest through. But turning into my dad was another thing, I spit in his face and laughed as well. “Yeah well buddy! I am not a legendary so I won’t deny I have weaknesses, however, so do you and I plan to figure it out.”
“Oh really?” The fake father asked. Suddenly he looked down and transformed again into a woman. It was my mother. “Are you sure Luxy?”
“GAHHH YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU!” I screamed struggling to break free from the chains. She only smiled and quickly kneed me in the belly as I leaned forward in agony. I began to cry from the pain. It felt like I was going to throw up. This world was disgusting and I was defenseless in it.
“I think you have one more weakness.” He said in the form of my mother. She put one hand on her hips and leaned to the side with a devilish smile.
I slowly looked up and coughed up some of my own spit. “Yeah and what is that jackass?”
She pointed to my side, “You don’t want to lose the one you love do you?”
My eyes grew big and I quickly turned my head to an Eevee and an Espeon…Estelle? Was that really her? I began to shiver as the younger Eevee pushed Estelle over the cliff, which was followed by a huge splash.
“You only have so much time to save her Luxy boy.” The dark being said as he took the form of me. I was shaking from my anger in the chains. “Will you make it in time to save her? She can’t swim you know. I wonder?” He said as he faded away into nothing with a evil laugh.
I turned towards the cliff and the Eevee only smiled at me and she too faded into nothing.
“ESTELLE! ESTELLE!” I screamed I tried running to the cliff but was stopped by the chains. I tried breaking free from my own body strength and I was already beginning to panic. She had to be under there for a few seconds but what bothered me as she couldn’t swim. I had to break these horrid chains fast. “CRUNCH!” I bit into the chains around my wrists, which made them crack, I used a thunderbolt that was scent threw the crack breaking them which caused them to fall to the ground. I than ripped the ones off my ankles and got up heading towards the cliffs end.
I shook off my shoes and threw my shirt to the side and jumped off the cliff to save her. I dove into the water and began to swim trying to find her. It felt like I was blind again, just when I was a child it was blurry, but it occurred to me I could my eyes to see threw the blurry waters and swim. I did just that and swam high and low, as I looked around I saw bubbles coming up a few meters away. I headed that was and saw Estelle sinking to the bottom of the sea.
She needed air! I swam to her as fast as I could but the water was getting harder to swim threw because of how deep we were. The pressure was unbearable but for her sake I kept going. As I got close I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close. I lifted her chin and saw she was unconcious.
Was I too late? I thought to myself. Did she swallow too much water?
I shook my head in the water.
I can't lose her, not now, not ever. I can't let someone I love down again....not again! If she dies....I can't even call myself a man...if I let her die...than I will die as well....she will live by all means! I will save her! I kept thinking to myself.
I floated there with her looking at her sadly it had seemed like there was no life in her. Gently I pulled her face to mine and placing my lips against hers to give her breath she needed to survive. Hopefully I wasn’t too late. Please breath Estelle....
-END-
OMG so long…lets see on a word document it is 5 pages! Yes I should do well for points now.
Alrighty so if you couldn’t tell Lux is afraid of being too smart thus is why he dresses kind of in style because he was always made fun of as a child for being a nerd (which he was). He is afraid of being alone thus why he believes he can never love someone or be with them (strange I know), and he is scared of losing the people he holds dear to him.
Yeah I am so creative. OH! He also is afraid of Xio, but you will learn more about him another day.
