Night's Journey Chapter Five. The gift of time

Sapphire

How dare She? I raced after her, her tail flicking around corners only just ahead of me. How dare she? I scrabbled upon the shiny surfaced floor of what the humans considered a place of healing. HOW DARE SHE?!? Heat coursed through me as I raced after the female Night had saved, and who had in turn tried to bed him before me. Fire blazed within my tail, screaming to be used. My eyes burned as she skidded around another corner. She lost control and went straight into the corner of the lobby gardens.

"Eeee"

Deep green blood trailed down a small cut upon her left hind leg. I felt like roaring in triumph. Mine. She was finally mine to discipline.

Sapphire's eyes glittered as small blue flames kindled around the edges of his mouth. The Vaporeon looked up, dodging just in time as a thin stream of blue fire sailed into the corner she has been slumped upon. She turned to face Sapphire as a thick slime dripped from just under the base of her aquatic tail. She gave a low snarl, her glazed eyes focusing upon Sapphire. She jumped Sapphire, biting and clawing at his green scales. Sapphire retaliated in kind, his tail blazing with his need to see this Vaporeon stopped. They tussled together, biting, clawing, and kicking at each other. They still clawed at each other even as they were enveloped by blue energies. Both snarled trying to reach the other as they were pulled apart forcefully.

"Now what do you think this is about?"

"I don't know, but obviously somebody did something. I mean. They're really tearing into each other, but it doesn't look like they're too serious about it." The voice huffed, whether in disappointment or in frustration is not known. "I mean, look. They've been at it for the last ten or so minutes, but there's hardly any damage." A three clawed hand reached out, twisting upon itself as the energies collapsed and the two were set free.

"Great, now that you've let them go, they're gonna turn on us now." The other gave a short snarl as it turned to the two slumped forms. A glittering blue wall flickered up before him. The male turned to his companion. "Hey. I was looking forward to a bit of exercise." He punched against the glittering surface to show his point. Ripples moves outwards from the impact. The wall stayed in place though.

"Charles, they're...."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" The Hitmonchan exploded. "You know how I feel about that name. My name is Charlie. Cha - ar - lee."

His companion, an Alakazam, looked at him, pouting softly. "But that is your name, isn't it? ......... Charles." The Hitmonchan bunched his muscles, flexing his biceps as though he were seriously contemplating taking on the psychic type.

The Alakazam looked to the two stirring forms. "As I was saying, they don't look like they'll be doing anything for awhile. I hit them pretty hard. And they're only young things. Even though they're different, I thought they were a lot stronger, because neither of them were hurting from the other's special attacks. Either their trainer is really skilled, or they're very weak. I'm not entirely sure which one it is right now." The Hitmonchan watched as the two got up, looking at each other with distaste. He raised an eyebrow in surprise as the Charmander started yelling insults, the Vaporeon just barking and yipping back.

"Holy Legendaries. They can't be more than a few years old. Where did he learn such language? ......... Your mother with a Slugma ....? Honestly .." The Hitmonchan turned his back on them in disgust, watching the Alakazam. He watched as a smile grew upon that handsome face. "What's so funny..?"

The smile grew, showing a glint of teeth. "You. concerned about language." The Alakazam couldn't hold it. He let go, holding his sides as he dropped to the ground laughing hard. The Hitmonchan watched this in puzzlement. He turned his back upon his special friend and watched as the two young pokemon sized each other up again.

A young Meganium raised her long serpentine neck, and turned her pretty head around to view the two younglings that were about to fight each other again. She gave a whispery sigh. Extending two of her vines, she picked them up and brought them to her. She held the two squirming pokemon up to her face so that she could view them better. She blinked as their fuzzy forms became clearer to her short sighted eyes. A young green Charmander, and a red Vaporeon. She gave an audible gasp, air whistling past both pokemon in her grasp as the air rushed into her lungs. Both of them froze, for fear of being sucked out of her hold. A large yellow/white droplet fell to the ground below them. Both watched it fall feeling smaller inside.

"You two remind of my egg. She would have been the prettiest Chikorita in the world. If those humans hadn't stolen her from me!" The vines holding the two started to squeeze them. Sapphire's shrill cry snapped the Meganium's anger. She looked at what she was doing, and another tear welled up in her eye. "I'm sorry dears." She relaxed her grip a little, then cradled the two pokemon. "I'm just upset that she was stolen. She would have been the prettiest blue Chikorita in the world, if her egg is anything to judge by. The deepest blue you could ever imagine..." She trailed off, her eyes fogging and becoming distant.

The Vaporeon's head snapped up at the mention of a blue egg. Her mind forced its way through the mental fog she was currently swamped in. "Egg..." She uttered, confused. "Blue egg .......... keep egg warm...." Her mind struggled through the haze. "Funny egg the humans bring. Want it kept warm .......... close to hatching .."

Prickles rushed along the form of the Meganium at hearing this. Her petals shook with suppressed rage. "MY EGG! TELL ME WHERE MY EGG IS!" She roared into the face of the lust crazed Vaporeon. Sapphire's eyes widened in fear as the Meganium looked about ready to tear off the Vaporeon's head. He gathered up his courage, and spat at the Meganium. The glob of blue gunk sizzled upon the meganium's skin. Roaring in pain, she dropped the two pokemon, trying to use her vines to wipe it off of her face. A gush of green water hit her, drenching the burning slime and washing it clean. The meganium stopped her efforts, basking in the rejuvenating spray coming from the Vaporeon. The spray stopped, and the Meganium opened her eyes. "Thank you." she said. She frowned, staring into the glazed, uncomprehending eyes of the Vaporeon.

"She doesn't understand you." Said Sapphire. The Meganium twisted her neck around to him, the better to see. "She's in heat. I don't think it's normal either, she tried to take ............... our .... trainer as her mate." Sapphire hesitated a moment before saying our instead of my. "I think she's been pushing it back for awhile, or at least skipped one or two." He looked up into the eyes of the Meganium, wishing for her to understand.

The Meganium nodded her head. "If that's all, I can give her something that will stop it." She reached her head around to pluck one of her petals from her neck. Taking it, she slowly chewed it, deep in concentration. "This is very strong, but I want my egg back. She wont ever have a heat again, unless the pokemon she wants heart, body, and soul, touches her." The Meganium leaned down, wrapping a vine around the Vaporeon as she did so. Opening up the pettaled tip, she brough forth two smaller vines. These she used to lever the Vaporeon's jaw open. She locked muzzles with the Vaporeon, feeling a rather large amount of pleasure from the intimate contact. Using her dexterous tongue, she pushed the mushed petal, and her saliva, into the slightly hot mouth of the Vaporeon. She pushed further, forcing the vaporeon to swallow what was in her mouth, along with a fair bit of the Meganium's tongue. A rumble started low in the Meganium's chest. The vibrations travelled up her sinuous neck, through her tongue, and down the throat of the unaware Vaporeon.

The Vaporeon's eyes widened and cleared dramatically fast. She gargled, hauling back with all the force she could muster. A long blue/purple appendage drew out of her open mouth as she backed farther and farther away. The tip of a metre long tongue pulled from her mouth, allowing her to cough, gasp and splutter. The vine that had been holding her in place returned into the body of the Meganium. Sapphire carefully walked over to the Vaporeon. Her eyes tracked his movements, wary as she gasped for air, fighting an urge to rid her stomach of it's breakfast. "Vaporeon..?" She blinked.

"My name", She said while her lungs heaved, and green sweat dripped from her body. "Is Amethyst. My mother really liked the pretty purple stones her trainer always gave her. She liked them so much, she decided to name me after them." A brief flash of rage glinted behind her black eyes before it was swallowed up by a deeper sadness. She turned her gaze to the Meganium's face, blinking in surprise as she watched inch after inch of muscle slide back into her mouth. "I'm sorry about your egg." She said with wide eyes. "The humans that caught me. When I evolved, they had me take care of a blue egg a little while ago. They said I generated the exact amount of heat needed to hatch it. I did my best to lower my body temp, and I think i suceeded, but that egg is still very close to hatching. If you want your egg back, we're going to have to go get it. Right now. If we wait, then it might hatch, and that facility is no place for a newborn hatchling." She closed her eyes as a memmory came unbidden to her mind. Her mind froze in shock and horror as she felt something massive reach out to her. Both she and Sapphire hunkered down, wimpering at the thing.

Night watched in abject terror as the nurse who had given him breakfast this morning fired a gun at him. He blinked as time slowed. The gun fired and her hand jumped backwards with the force of the internal explosion. The bullet within shot out, heading straight for him. He watched the bullet spiral in the air. Raw energy flooded through him. He felt like screaming from the pure agony, but was trapped. The bullet moved forwards, cutting a swath through the air. It sent ripples of air away from it as it passed. Fear and power clashed within him. The fear fed the power, the power fed the fear. Night's heart raced as his terror claimed his mind, forcing it to act in the precious micro seconds he had left. Both energies within him merged, forming enough energy to destroy, or, to create anything in the world. His mind screamed in torment. His arms raised themselves, power coursing through them. Moving faster than anything possible, his hands clapped themselves together. Energy formed at their centre. As his hands pulled themselves away the energy between them grew in mass. The raw energy to destroy the very existance of everything upon the planet was forced into being. Wills clashed as the energy fought the form it was being shaped into, but Night's raw need forced it into submission. The energy flashed into existance, forming a millimetre thick wall. It spread out to the walls surrounding it, then stopped. It flexed, as though it were about to attack something, before it settled into its current shape. The first faint traces of Night's scream came from his lungs as his silver/white eyes tracked the bullet. The lump of solid lead touched the almost invisible film in front of him, stopping dead. There was a sense of ....... something ...... then the bullet disintegrated. What was left of the bullet drifted to the floor as the sound of the gunshot finally filtered through. Night's scream was loud, before it stopped abruptly. Night coughed, his eyes blazed with white fire. He grunted, doubling over as he held his right hand over his heart, his left going to the left side of his forehead, just above his white eye. The fire pendant around his neck blazed with heat and colour. Night's form shook as the wall fell apart, dissipating. He screamed again, but this time there was something else within the scream, something old, something dark. Night's scream turned to a roar of pain and rage as his wings lengthened, turning ice white as they trippled in length. His hair turned white, and flowed down his back. His injuries disappeared as something very very old pushed through. Night's mind opened up, reaching around itself. Touching three minds below it, it flinched as two said the same thing.

"Night...?" Came a soft, yet voluptuous, female's voice

"NIGHT!!" Came a panicked, yet oddly sensuous, male's voice.

The other mind shrank in on itself, trying to avoid being noticed.

Night's arms twitched from their positions, his right arm moving from his chest, his left arm pushing him up from the bed. Night yelled as the other in his mind screeched and roared for its escape. Hastily placing long unused chains of power upon himself, Night looked for an escape, heedless of the human that had just tried to take his life. He searched the box he was in quickly, not recognising the doors and windows for what they were.

"No ........... Choice ......" The gutteral voice that came from Night's throat was something not intended for use. Flicking his arms up and infront of him, The being's shaped a solid wall of mental energy. They pushed it at the windows. The raw force smashed and shattered the flimsy work of humanity. It crushed the wall, pushing it out and allowing fresh clean air to come through, but it wasn't fresh. Night/Other gagged as the pollution of humans wafted through the massive hole. They ran for the opening. Other/Night spread his massive wings, the pure white contrasting against the pure darkness now taking over. The Other jumped, spreading his wings to their long unused length. He soared upon white wings. Gliding from the opening in the human structure he flapped hard, quickly doubling, trippling, then quadrupling his current height. Soon he was nothing more than a speck within the rapidly clouding sky. The Other flew off in the direction where it sensed another presence. Similar to it's own, this one radiated malice like a plague. He flew, heading for a certain building, near a certain clearing, where a certain someone almost died.

The nurse, gun still in hand, fell. Her shaky legs finally giving way. Huge tears and sobs of fear came from her body as the thing that used to be Night Hawk left the hospital area. Her lips moved wordlesly for a moment, before.. "An ................................. Icarian .................................................. to ......... think ......... I ................................... wanted his ............." Her lips tried to form one last word, but the shock, emotional drain, and pure fear were too much. Her eyes shut and her body slumped upon the debris of the crushed wall. Her hair pooled around her as her head hit the ground. A sharp splinter of wood nicked her skin. A single droplet welled to the surface of the tiny wound, before dropping upon the debris. The shape of the droplet as it hit left something, not quite explainable. Instead of a normal oval shape, it left the jagged outline of a lightning bolt.....
