NOVA32

Before we begin, I'd like to explain my excuse as to why this took so god damn long. There's a fight scene in this chapter, and then an escape scene (as the name of the chapter painfully suggests), and then the rest of the chapter. I lost all of this because my computer decided to be a dick and I got the blue screen of death. That's twice this month, so probably my computer is being a total dickhead again. Anyways, more of bitching in the final author's note, I'll leave you with the chapter. Chapter 30 Jailbreak Lucario's eyes slowly opened, as he regained consciousness. He looked around to see that he was still inside the crystal cave, and

-------------------- Dusknoir dropped to the ground, dark energy coursing through him, though Clades wasn't trying to posses him, but in fact was torturing him, as he had learned how to input raw energy into a body. However, the way it was used made the results change... and sometimes they were far more entertaining that others. Like this one. He couldn't help but laugh, as he saw the ghost type finding himself unable to stand up, having to support himself with his arms as well. - It is amusing to see you like this Dusknoir. You were always so full of yourself... so confident that you would be recognized as a great warrior... to make you nam

Alternate title: "When things escalate quickly" Another alternate title: "When shit hits the fan, part 2" Also, remember when I said that this chapter was probably going to be shorter than the last one? I lied. Chapter 29 Double Trouble Eric knew he was asleep, he felt that his eyes were closed, and he was fully sentient. However, he saw something. It was the silhouette of that creature. He knew it. He knew it really well. The very moment he had seen it had knew that it was familiar, but he had no idea of who or what it was. That shape... such a tall creature... and it appeared to be sometimes big and sometimes smaller, but why? Was it the

-------------------- He turned his head as soon as he heard the sound of wood breaking down. He rushed to that side of the rooftop and looked over. He saw something blue enter a small building. He smirked as his suspicions were confirmed. It was the riolu he had seen back in the Amp Plains, the one looking for Elly. He was surprise that it had had the tennacity to follow them all the way from there, through the desert and into that cave just for an eevee. Or was it something else? He didn't have too much time to think about it, as the riolu came out of the building just then. He would probably never know the answer to those questions, or the

Welp, sorry for taking so long. Excuse is in the ending author's note. Alternate tittle for this chapter, "When shit hits the fan, Part 1" Chapter 28 Betrayal Zed's ears began ringing as soon as he regained consciousness, his head pounding and his nervous system slowly waking up, making feel the pain that the rest of his body was experiencing. He tried to breath in, each breath making him feel like his chest was about to burst. But the worst part was his face. Good lord his face hurt a lot. It felt like he had been hit by a Snorlax rolling down a hill, but otherwise he was ok. The face pain was still there though, almost unbearable. He open

And we're back with the story. Sorry for the delay, I changed my mind about a scene and had to rewrite it completely, which took ages. This chapter should prove to be interesting, because we are having another antagonist jump into the action... or maybe he's not as new as you think? Either way, enjoy the chapter. Chapter 27 Not too lucky Nymphe walked into the throne room, a worried look on her face. - My lord... - She began, but noticed that her master was talking with someone else, so instead she decided to stay quiet and listen. - So.. these fragments... are something way out of our... league? - Blake asked. A much more colder, darker vo

-------------------- Lucy finally stopped dragging Zed around and let him walk. After giggling for a bit, she started walking behind him, as he lead her out of the guild. When they got down the steps Zed showed her Spinda's Cafe. - This is the cafe where you can come and have a drink or eat something. They have some really good things, and one of their specialities are gummi juice. - Zed explained. Lucy licked her lips. - Gummies... My mom actually once found some! They were really good! I specially liked the yellow ones, but it's been a really long time since that... - She said. Zed looked at her. - You mean you haven't had a gummi since...

This chapter is intense, in an emotional sense, because lots of things are going to happen here, and there are lots of what I hope, are accurate descriptions of feelings like guilt, pain and overall giving up hope. Chapter 26 Dead Hopes It was late at night in treasure town, probably around twelve o'clock. Lucario had gone to Spinda's bar to have a few drinks to wash away what had happened during the day, but mostly to forget about what he had seen in Eric's eyes: Pure desperation, hatred and overall guilt. He was lost. The only warrior that could've possibly helped win that war was done for. Team Uncario had won using their cruel tactics.

First of all, I'd like to say sorry. Sorry for taking two damn weeks to release this damn chapter. I have an excuse though: Exams. Not good enough of an excuse? Well, I had to stay a lot of Physics, and even after failing the last exam, I STILL managed to pass. (Magic?) Anyways, now that it's summer,r and I don't have anything else to do, and I can also work during the mornings, I think it is safe to say that chapters will come out much more commonly than during the year. Thank you for reading this authors note. I'll let you with the story now. Chapter 25 Shocking Battle - This soon?! - Zed asked, surprised. Eric had rushed into the guild a

-------------------- He was back in the cursed forest, with a torch in hand and walking through the darkness, tears in his eyes. He had lost it all... Everything that he cared about... was gone. And probably forever... because it was his fault, and his fault only... He grabbed another of the dead eevees and took it to another ditch in the dirt, where the carefully rested it on the ground. After that, he put dirt over the improvised grave and went to grab another one. Each corpse stole a small part of his soul with him. In the end, he began making the process with the precision of a machine, gotten used to carrying the cold bodies on his shoul
