Comfort in the Past
There was a blinding flash, and suddenly we were back out in the forest. Or, to be more precise, the spot we had set up camp the previous night. I looked down and saw a small circular mat below us, and figured Wes must have left it here in case we...
The Plot Thickens
(POV Wesley) The next day, we reached the compound deep in the forest. It was a pretty basic looking building: just a large, concrete block about one story tall. It wasn't very impressive, especially since I knew Team Blaze had access to massive...
The Allies
(POV: Logan) "Lilly! We have to keep moving!" I shouted as I skidded to a halt near a tree. I looked back and saw my mate, a red-and-black-furred Lucario, running up to me as a group of Team Blaze grunts chased not too far behind. I grabbed a handful...
New Hero; New Mission
I sat up sharply in my bed when I heard the sound of my alarm go off. I looked around the in the murky darkness of my underground room and sighed, depressed that I would soon be leaving this place behind. I got up and quickly got dressed. I remembered...
Epilogue
As we headed back to the boat, we talked about the events of the past few days; my training, the discovery of what my curse really was, and the reunion with Leon and Gwen. We rappelled down the rope to the boat, and just as Vix was about to cut the...
The Final Battle
My mind was buzzing. I couldn't think straight at all. Wesley was a few feet in front of me, sating nothing. I could tell he wasn't faring ant better than me. Every time we came across a guard, he quickly knocked him out with a swift punch to the face....
Sacrifice
We went into town the next morning to get a boat off shore. We exited through the pipe Wesley had guided me through the previous day and headed for the town square. We quietly discussed what we would do when we got on board. "I think we should shut...
The Resistance
awoke suddenly, gasping for breath. It had been so vivid, my dream. Did it really happen? Or am I just going crazy? Your mental condition is normal, but your combat needs a lot of work. I heard a disappointed voice in the back of my mind say. My...
The Beginning of the End
It took me about half a day to reach the harbor town the Team Flare member had told me I would be able to find the carrier at. All the while, Umbra was telling me the story behind the curse. The old man was correct, he began, that the Curse of...
The Reveal
I woke to the sound of a tea kettle whistling. I got up slowly, making sure not to put too much weight on my arm left arm: it was bandaged after the fight from the previous day, when a high-ranking member of Team Blaze had stabbed me. I walked down the...
Advanced Shadows 101
"So, are you ready to begin your advanced training?" The old man had led me out into a nearby forest. Today I was going to learn how to use non-weapon shadow attacks, and I was excited. There was one thing that was bugging me, however. "So, wait, why...
Focusing
"Come on, boy, you need to put all your power into each attack!" The old man was putting me through hell. There were several targets set up around the underground cave, and several torches to provide light. I was practicing with my ranged shadow knife...
