Jake:

I snapped awake when I heard the sound of someone breaking a twig and jumped to my feet drawing my sword. Gabe and Dash looked at me questioningly then followed my eyes into the woods to see Lady Shandi was walking toward us talking to Amanda, Danna, and a pair of vixens who looked familiar. I blinked when I realized one was Sam and the other was the girl I'd saved the other day. I blinked and sheathed my sword slowly then bowed to the five of them and said "Good morning Ladies. What brings you out so early in the day?" Lady Shandi blinked and said "Hello Jake, Dasher, and Gabe. I didn't realize you three would be up this early; Dasher's always seemed like a slight slacker when he's not doing his job or actually in class. As for you Jake, I thought you'd be sleeping since your first three days were nothing, but trouble. Gabe you're classes may not start until next week but that doesn't give you the right to break curfew even if you're with these two trouble makers." Dash and I looked at her affronted and Dash said "We're not trouble makers, or at least I'm not a trouble maker. I'm occasionally late to class, but that doesn't mean I get into trouble all the time. I'm not so sure about Jake since I'm not usually around him, but I doubt he's a trouble maker." I grinned slightly after resisting the urge to smack Dash and said "So Lady Shandi why are you guys out so late." She sighed and said "I guess you three can help, since you aren't doing anything productive." I realized she was trying to see how much I'd put up with because her tone turned slightly bantering at the end and I said "Yeah, we were just taking a dip in the lake. I told the others about it and they said they wanted to come with me."

She smiled realizing I was playing along then became serious and said "The five of us were looking for an injured pokemon. I saw it while I was scouting so I roused the girls and we went looking for it. However I haven't seen it since." I smirked and sniffed the air then said "I smell blood on the other side of the lake, why do we go check it out." They nodded and the eight of us walked around the edge of the lake and came upon two pulls of blood. I sniffed them and said "Same pokemon; however it leads down two trails. What do you want to do Lady Shandi?" She studied the trails intently then said "Well the girls and I will follow the one on the right, while you three follow the trail on the left." I nodded and Dash just smiled as Gabe ran up the tree to the top and started looking around. We watched the girls head off down the right trail then Gabe jumped back down and said "It looks like a lot of branches are broken down our fork, you sure you want to follow this thing, Jake?" I nodded and the three of us slowly followed the trail. Suddenly Dash stopped and sniffed the air then bent down. Gabe and I rushed over and he said "You guys smell what I smell?" I nodded and ran my finger through the blood then licked it off my finger as Gabe said "I'll try and see if I can find any aura trails." He closed his eyes and focused while Dash said "At least it isn't arterial blood. However, I can't tell what creature it is by smell alone." I swiped another finger through the blood then rubbed it on my scanner as my eyes changed from blue with gold and silver flecks, to gold with red flecks. My scanner beeped a few times as Dash looked over my shoulder to see what my scanner said, and Gabe opened his eyes then said "All the trails I can see are old. Sorry guys without more info I can't tell you exactly where it went."

We nodded in understanding as my scanner beeped. I blinked and Dasher read "The blood is from the wings of a flygon. However I can't understand that last part..." I sighed and said "It appears it was injured by a digimon of some sort, and that data is still stuck in the wound preventing it from closing." Dash seemed surprised and Gabe just asked "Why?" I shrugged and said "Could be that a digimon's attacks don't usually fade, unless their in other digital items. Or the sucker could have designed it that way. I don't know. All I do know is that we need to get the data out of that injury for it to heal." Gabe nodded and said "I'm going to go up top and see if I can find our flygon." I nodded and watched him go then Dash said "Think I should scout ahead?" I thought about it and asked "You know if there are any caves nearby?" Dash shook his head and pulled up a map of the grounds then studied it." I glanced up at Gabe and yelled "CAN YOU SEE ANY CAVES FROM UP THERE, GABE?" He jumped down and said "Yeah, there's a few to the north east." I smiled and turned to Dash then said "Well there you go. If you want to scout then head north east, alright Dash?" Dash nodded and ran off quickly. I glanced at Gabe and said "Why don't you follow him while I take to the air." Gabe nodded and used the tree limbs to bounce along after Dash while I made my wings appear and pushed myself into the air. When I got above the trees I saw two figures flying in the distance and wondered what they could possibly be, then decided to focus on one problem at a time. I flew over to the cave and got their about the same time as the others. Dash looked in the cave and said "I really need to start carrying a flashlight around with me." I landed with a ball of light in my hand at the same time as Gabe walked up holding an aura sphere and we said "Will this be enough light?" We glanced at each other and laughed for a few minutes then became serious.

Dash looked at us and I said "We both have the same feeling; we shouldn't be laughing while a pokemon is in danger and we can laugh when it's all over." Gabe nodded and Dash said "Alright, then who's going in there? I honestly don't think Gabe should because he's a pokemon and they may think we want to hurt them." I nodded and said "I'll go; I'm the most durable after all." Dash smirked at that then said "Alright, but you're going to need supplies." and handed me his med kit. I strapped it on my belt and Gabe said "We'll guard your back, you just be careful in there." I nodded and tossed off my cloak then slowly walked deeper into the cave until I found the flygon curled up on its side and watching me. I smiled at it and said "Easy big fella, I'm here to help." It cocked its head to the side carefully then said "Big fella? You're not that much smaller than me." I blinked and realized that I'd understood him and he'd somewhat understood me. I glanced at my scanner then shook my head and mumbled "Guess I learned pokespeak." The flygon looked at me curiously and said "How do you know my language when the others of your species don't?" I shrugged and said "I'm just a strange guy who seems to know too much about some things and no where near enough about others." The flygon chuckled causing its wing to stir and gasped in pain. I studied it and saw that its leg was also injured, then suddenly lashed out and cut my chest. I stared at the wound and said softly "Why the hell did you scratch me." The flygon blinked and stared at its bloody claws then said "You smelled like the one who injured me. Why is that?" I blinked and said "That's because I'm partially a digital monster. I messed with my scanner and it infused my DNA with Digital Code."

The flygon studied me then sniffed deeply and said "You're different. I can't explain it any better than that, but I think I can trust you." I slowly walked over and unclipped the med kit from my belt. The flygon studied me as I held my hands over its wounds and drew the code into myself. It blinked surprised that the wounds didn't hurt despite the odd thing I'd done to them then watched as I slowly bandaged up its wounds. After about ten minutes I heard a loud bang and the walls of the cave slowly started to shake. I dived forward and covered flygon with my body as a couple of stones broke from the ceiling then slammed into my back. I shook them off and got off of flygon then yelled outside "HEY WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING BE CAREFUL!!!!! YOU NEARLY CRUSHED FLYGON AND ME!!" I heard Dash say something, but I didn't pay attention as I slowly wrapped gauze and medical tape around Flygon's wing and its leg which were both pretty badly injured. I growled softly at the thought of anyone who could cause this kind of damage to another creature without any worries then got up as I heard the sound of battle coming from outside. I glanced at flygon and said "I'll be right back; I need to go make sure my friends are ok though. Is that alright?" They nodded and I rushed outside hoping nothing had happened to Dash and Gabe while I was busy. It took me a few minutes to get back to the entrance, but when I got there I saw that the guys were being attacked by an ursarang, several scyther, and multiple flying pokemon. I growled and my wings burst out of my back, then I took off to stop the fliers. The others saw me and I yelled "YOU GUYS TAKE CARE OF GROUND CONTROL AND I'LL HANDLE THE SKY PIRATES!!!" Dash shook his head at my retarded comment then rushed at the scyther. I started attacking the first of the flying pokemon, which were a bunch of fearow, with orbs made of lightning that were based off of the elementals in boot camp.

Dash was handling his own against the scyther; however they were clashing so fast I could hardly make them out. Meanwhile Gabe was beating the crap out of the ursarang with aura pulses and close range combat. I formed an electrical orb like Gabe's aura sphere and slammed it into a fearow's back knocking it to the ground then yelled down "GABE TRY USING AURA SPHERE CLOSE UP AND SEE WHAT THAT DOES!!!!!!" He nodded to let me know he heard me then formed an even larger aura sphere and slammed it into the ursarang. Everything else stopped as the concussion from the attack slammed the ursarang into a tree and nearly knocked everyone who was flying out of the air. It stunned Dash and the scyther for a moment then they went back at it. While they'd stopped I saw that Dash had put on a pair of steel claws that fit perfectly over his gloves. As soon as Dash and they scyther started back up the flying pokemon started bombarding me. I growled and let loose a jet of flame sending several of them to the ground with burnt wings. Those that avoided my attacks flew away deciding it was better to run than face a pissed off creature that wouldn't stop no matter how injured it was. Suddenly I saw a zangoose sneaking up on Gabe as he finished off the ursarang and dropped out of the sky feet first with my wings tucked in. I opened my wings and banked with them at the last moment so I didn't break it's spine then spun and blasted the two scyther's blades with an energy ball at the same time Gabe used an aura sphere. The two attacks sent the scyther back a few steps and allowed Dash to kick their legs making them unstable. Then the three of them ended up in a knock down drag out fight with Dash starting to lose. Gabe ran over to help, while I pushed off from the zangoose and used my wings to propel me forward slamming one of the scyther in the chest and knocking it away from Dash.

Gabe suddenly stopped and sent out an aura sphere that knocked a large Arbock into a tree knocking it out. I grabbed the scyther behind its bladed claws, but my left hand slipped and it managed to cut me all across the chest, sides, and down my right arm. I managed to grab the blade again before it could cut to deep then growled softly. I slowly picked it up and started swinging it into trees while Dasher fought his own scyther and Gabe went back after the ursarang who just wouldn't stay down. Finally after about five minutes I dropped the now unconscious scyther and turned back to the others to see they were about to come over and help me. I blinked and said "I don't think that this was just a random occurrence." The others nodded and walked over then checked me up and down. Dash unclipped the med kit from my belt then blinked and sniffed me a few times. I looked at him questioningly and he said "What's that strange smell?" Gabe blinked and said "I smell it too. I wonder what it is." I stared at them and said "I don't smell anything." then ran a finger through the blood on my arm and licked it clean finding that despite the fact I'd messed with my scanner my blood tasted no different. The others stared at me then Dash licked a bit of the blood off my arm before pulling a wad of gauze out and wiping one of the cuts on my chest. He blinked and wiped one on my arm clean then showed it to me and said "Does that happen often?" as it slowly healed. I blinked and said "Honestly that's new." He sighed and put the med kit back on his belt then the three of us stopped as we heard the sound of running feet. I glanced at Dash and Gabe then said "How much you want to bet that's the girls and Lady Shandi?"

They shook their heads and Gabe said "I'm not making bets against you; you're way too accurate at times." I blinked and smiled at him then stretched out and looked at my now ruined shirt. I sighed and said "Well it appears I've only got one shirt that doesn't get damaged, and Calley had to piss on it." Gabe laughed and Dash snickered. I glared at them then tossed off the shreds of my shirt and put on my cloak. The guys blinked and Dash actually started to drool a little bit. I glanced down and said "Yeah, I've got a six pack, so what?" He blinked and shook his head then Gabe said "You know there's a lot more red in your eyes now Jake?" I shook my head to show I hadn't known that, then yawned and stretched out. Suddenly the girls flew out of the woods and tackled me. I blinked while Dash and Gabe snickered at how the girls rolled me over six or seven times as they looked for every single one of my injuries. Suddenly the four of them got off me and turned to Dash and Gabe with that look that every guy knows means trouble. Dash and Gabe instinctively took a step back and the girls slowly started talking among themselves. I got to my feet and dusted myself off just as Amanda said "Dasher, Gabe, you're in a lot of trouble." Gabe swallowed and Dasher seemed to look for a place to run as Danna stepped forward and started yelling "HOW COULD YOU TWO LET HIM GO IN THAT CAVE ALONE!!!!!???" Dash blinked seeming to wonder how they knew about the cave as Amanda continued where her sister left off by yelling "HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GET HURT SO MUCH? I THOUGHT HE WAS YOUR FRIEND!!!!!!" Dasher sighed and said "We were kind of busy trying to make sure we didn't DIE!!" The girls just glared at him until he shut up then Sam said "You guys could have sent someone to come and get us. I mean Lady Shandi said to meet back up at the place where the trail forked. Or were you not paying attention?"

Gabe blinked and said "Lady Shandi didn't tell us anything, we just followed the trail like we said we would. I even sent up an aura sphere to let you know where we were." That got the girls to turn their anger on him, which was not smart of him to do. The vixen, whose name I'd still yet to learn, growled softly then yelled "YOU'RE AURA SPHERE IS WHAT ATTRACTED ALL OF THOSE POKEMON!!!!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID AS TO LET OFF A POWERFUL ATTACK THAT WOULD DISTURB SO MANY CREATURES IN THE ARE?????" Gabe yelped and hid behind Dash who growled softly then wilted under the glower of all four females as they continued to chew my companions' asses out, until finally I had enough of it. I growled softly then yelled "SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE SO BUSY WORRYING ABOUT ME WITHOUT EVEN ASKING IF I'M OK!!! WHY NOT THINK ABOUT THE FLYGON WHO WAS INJURED THIS ENTIRE TIME INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR WASTING ENERGY SCREAMING AT THE GUYS WHO DID THEIR BEST TO PROTECT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN IT!! IF YOU WANT TO STRESS WAIT UNTIL WE'RE IN THE MEDICAL CENTER SO OUR WOUNDED FRIEND DOESN'T HAVE TO HEAR IT!!!!" Everyone stared at me slightly shamefacedly then I said "I'm going to get flygon; girls wait out here for Lady Shandi." I walked into the cave with Dasher and Gabe walking behind me and using me to shield themselves from the still rather pissed off girls. I led the others to flygon then looked at it and said "We're going to carry you to the medical center where they'll heal your wounds. From there you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. Those sound good to you?" Flygon nodded and the three of us walked over then slowly carried him outside.

It took us slightly longer to get back out than it had to go into the cave, however that was alright because it gave the girls time to calm down and the guy more time to think of responses to their questions. I yawned as we came to the entrance and Dash asked me "Having trouble running on just that short nap you took by the lake?" I nodded and he said "Then I think you should get some rest when we get to the medical center. After all, you used a lot of energy when you fought those flyers." Gabe nodded his agreement and added "You also seemed to use a lot of energy swinging that scyther around like it was nothing." I shrugged as if to say that it wasn't a big deal then glanced around as a voice said "Thank you for bringing my prey out in the open. I knew if I left it alone long enough some fool would go in and retrieve it for me. Now step away from it or I'll delete the renamon." Dash's eyes got a dark glint in them and I said softly "Calm down Dasher. I know what you're thinking, but first we need to strategize." He nodded and I slowly looked around for the owner of the voice. Finally I saw a black X Veemon standing at the base of a tree nearby smirking at us. I growled softly and said "I've already got a bone to pick with you if you're the bastard who injured flygon, and threatening my friends just made it worse. Get lost or I'm going to code your ass." He just laughed as if he thought it was funny that someone who looked so close to a human could harm a digimon. I growled softly and he smirked then said "I'd like to see a runt like you try." I growled softly and started to slowly tap away at my scanner. The X Veemon jumped to the base of the tree and used it for support as he nearly fell over laughing at me. I ignored him and hit the last key on my scanner's virtual computer then turned to him and said "Last warning. Leave now or I'm going to code your ass for the crimes you've committed."

Flygon stared at me surprised that I'd threaten someone just because they'd hurt him. The X Veemon finally stopped laughing and said softly "Threaten me one more time boy and I'll delete the renamon, then use the other two for my pleasure as I kill the one your protecting and the two who smell of fresh blood." I growled softly and said quite simply "I warned you, now I'm going to go through with my promise and show you what happens to those who threaten my friends." then slowly was surrounded by a field of digital code. Dash and Gabe prepared to attack as I burst out of the code with my animalistic sides more pronounced. My ears now ended in sharp points, my tail was longer and had changed from black with a red tip to black with red and silver stripes, my eyes were pure red with slits for pupils, my stance had become slightly more digigrade because my legs had shifted to those of a wolf, and my hands had changed to large paws with sharper retractable claws and fur covering the backs of them. The others stared at me as I growled and said softly "Now you're code belongs to me." X Veemon stared at me surprised while Amanda and Danna exclaimed "He digivolved!" Dash and Gabe just took this for my signal to attack and rushed at X Veemon. Dasher started cutting into its legs while Gabe blasted it with aura sphere after aura sphere. I growled softly then took one step and appeared behind him slamming my claws through his chest. He couldn't move so Gabe's attacks hit him dead on slowly weakening his resistance as Dash slammed his claws up into its vent. X Veemon yelled out in pain and Dash hamstrung him as he tried to take a step forward then jumped back. X Veemon glared at him as Gabe blasted a hole in his left shoulder with his strongest aura sphere yet.

I growled and said softly "Digitize." causing my claws to glow with their own inner light and start breaking X Veemon down into digital code. He pulled away from me and yelled "X LASER!!!" causing the X on his chest to shoot out a black laser that slammed Dash and Gabe into a tree. I growled and my eyes became flecked with black specks as I jumped back and yelled "NO ONE HURTS MY FRIENDS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!!!! TRY THIS DIGITAL SLASH!!" I summoned a blade of pure digital code and slashed X Veemon across the back leaving a deep Gash that was slowly healing. I growled and the blade vanished then said in a deep menacing voice that could only be called evil "Try some of your own medicine. X laser." I crossed my arms over my chest then pushed them outward sending a wave of black and red energy into X Veemon and causing him to turn into the fundamental code that made him who and what he was. I walked over as he started to rematerialize then said softly "Digitize." He burst back into code and I finished "Code absorption." as the others slowly climbed to their feet. I suddenly fell down on my face as a wall of digital code surrounded me. The others rushed over as it faded and I got back to my feet with a slight smile on my face. Gabe and Dash stopped a few steps from me while the girls finished their run by tackling me and checking me over. I blinked and said "What's everyone so worried about?" The girls just held on to me tighter while the guys said "Dude, you went all evil and completely erased Black X Veemon's ass." I raised an eyebrow and Dash explained "You seemed to digivolve and your animalistic traits became more pronounced." I nodded slowly to show I remembered that and he continued "After that X Veemon attacked Gabe and I, then you slashed his back open with a strange sword made of digital code."

I nodded remembering that much then he finished "After that he blasted us with his X Blaster and you're eyes gained some weird black flecks and your voice became really menacing. You used his own attack against him, then you let him reform and said something like 'Digitize.'. He burst back into code and you finished him off by absorbing his code into yourself." I glanced at Gabe who nodded confirmation while the girls continued checking me over. I blinked and said "Why would you guys worry about me after that?" Danna growled and said "Because he was a virus type, and his code could have infected you when you absorbed it." I blinked and said "Really?" Amanda nodded and they rolled me over to check my back. After about ten minutes the girls said "He's clean. Whatever infected that X Veemon it didn't spread to Jake." The girls let me get to my feet and I walked over to Dash and Gabe. They looked at me and I fell over laughing. Gabe growled and Dash said "What's so funny?" I made an orb of water appeared and held it about chest level to let the two of them see exactly what they looked like. Gabe glanced at Dash's stomach and fell over laughing then yipped as his stomach touched the ground. I smirked as Dash laughed at Gabe, both for his reaction and his and the fact that all the fur on his stomach was burned off. I walked over to the two of them and spread my hands then slowly poured healing energy into them. Gabe's eyes glazed over and his left leg started twitching while Dasher purred and rubbed against me. They suddenly realized what they were doing and jumped back then ran their hands through their newly grown fur.

I smirked and the two of them tackled me yelling "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I smiled and said "No problem guys, I can't let my best friends walk around with patches of fur missing." As soon as I finished speaking Lady Shandi walked up and said "Well you boys look like you're in a good mood." We turned to Lady Shandi as the girls all walked over and said "Lady Shandi we thought you were right behind us." Lady Shandi laughed and said "Sorry girls, I was distracted by one of the other staff members and by the time I got here the boys had everything in hand." Suddenly she looked at me and said "Lance told me you chose the runic name Shadow Wolf of Chaos, mind telling me why?" I blinked taken aback and said "It just seemed to fit. I'm part wolf, I've always lived in the Shadows, and my attitude is rather chaotic." while I was really thinking "The stupid voice said that that was the perfect description of who I was. I didn't feel like arguing with him, so I just accepted it and said that was my name. However afterward I felt as if a key clicked into place." I popped my shoulder as Lady Shandi turned away then walked over and pulled flygon onto my back. Dash and Gabe walked over then helped me support him so his wings wouldn't be jostled then Gabe said "Lady Shandi I think we need to get flygon to the infirmary." She nodded slowly, and stepped ahead of us forming a ball of light. I studied her back for a bit then asked "Why'd you summon the light?" She smiled slightly and said "So we can see where we're going Jake. Also with you guys carrying flygon I don't think you'll be very useful in a fight. So, since the girls and I can't see in the dark as well as you guys, I decided a light would help us out." The girls nodded in agreement and I smirked at the guys who chuckled softly realizing what I was thinking.

The women looked at three of us, and we tried to act innocent. Danna and Amanda, who were still angry at Dash and Gabe, made the good old 'I'm watching you.' gesture at Dash and Gabe then continued walking alongside Sam and the vixen. I glanced at the vixen and said "You know I never learned your name. Do you mind telling me what it is?" She smiled shyly and said softly "I'm Luna." I smiled and said "Well, thanks for worrying about me Luna." She smiled back and said "No, thank you for saving me Jake." I motioned with a hand to tell her it wasn't a big deal and we walked on in silence. I silently thanked whatever beings were listening that the girls were walking in front of us then said softly to Gabe "You have to admire the view." He nodded with a slight smile and Dash, who'd heard what I said, smirked and said "Yeah it's definitely a beautiful sight, however it'd be even more beautiful if the moon was out more." Gabe and I nodded then Dash glanced at me and whispered "Jake when you smirked at us were you thinking that it's part of why the guy usually leads when the lights are off." I nodded and he chuckled while Gabe just smirked. I grinned at them and the three of us followed the girls watching their hips sway slightly as they had to avoid roots on the ground. I silently thanked whatever gods blessed us with this opportunity yet again, then the three of us jumped about twenty feet as two figures landed in front of us and a figure behind us said "What are you three doing with an injured flygon?" We landed on our feet and stopped flygon from being injured or waking up, and then I slipped out from under him as the other two shifted his wait on their shoulders. I turned around to face the one who spoke, and found myself looking at a human in his mid twenties with a flak vest and several cases strapped to his back. I growled softly and said "You guys go ahead; I'm going to deal with these three." They nodded and followed the girls while I stared at the human, who'd stepped in my way, and two figures I vaguely remembered.

Suddenly one of them giggled and said "Hey Shadow, miss us?" I blinked and said "Who are you again?" The one in the middle stepped forward revealing a very sexy winged black vixen that had a slight pout on her face. I blinked and said "Oh I remember you. How's it going Haze?" She smiled and said "Not to bad Shadow. How've you been? I mean we haven't heard anything about you since we left you in that clearing?" I shrugged and said "I've been fine. How about your friend, mister doom and gloom?" Suddenly the human spoke up and said "You know this guy Haze?" She nodded and said "Yeah, he helped Scribe and I deal with a few monsters while we waiting for you. His real name's Jake, however his runic name is Shadow, Wolf of Chaos. I personally think Shadow suits him better." I blinked and he said "Thanks for helping my friends, kid, but until you prove your worth I'm not going to let you trust you." I shrugged and started to follow the others then stopped and said "If any of you hurts my friends I won't hesitate to kill you. Haze, you've earned some of my trust, so I ask you to keep your friends in check. If not, then I'll do the same to them as I did to that X Veemon. I know you three saw it, so don't try to say you didn't." As I walked off I heard the human say "Well he's interesting. Why do you think he's important Scribe?" Scribe laughed and said "I don't know, but I think we'd best get to him before Chaos does, Sage. Haze, why don't you stick with the kid? He may need back up, because I doubt he has any idea what he's really up against." I heard Haze say something in reply then run up and walked alongside me. I stretched out and popped my neck then glanced at Haze and said "You don't have to follow me. I mean I'm just heading to the infirmary to catch some Z's." She ignored my comment and said "So what were you guys fighting a black X Veemon for?" I shrugged and said "He threatened my friends. That was enough reason for me."

She stared at me seeming genuinely surprised then smiled and said "I'm glad your one of those guys who values loyalty." I shrugged and waved it off then held open the door of the medical center since Haze and the others had stopped us only about twenty five feet from the door. She walked through and smiled at me then said "Thanks for being so polite." I shrugged and said "My dad taught me to always be a gentleman." She smiled and said "I'd like to meet him some day." I shrugged and said "Maybe he'll come to the school. I'm not really sure. Anyway I'm tired as hell so I'm going to grab a room and pass out." She nodded and I walked over to one of the nurses then asked "Any rooms open?" She nodded and said "Room 310." I smiled and walked into it then closed the door and plopped down on the bed. After about five or six minutes Haze walked in and sat down in one of the chairs. I looked at her and she said "I'm going to stay here; I don't need as much sleep as other people so I'm just going to read and relax." I nodded and she smiled flirtatiously as I slowly slipped into a light sleep. I suddenly woke up after about ten minutes and found myself surrounded by the girls, Lady Shandi, Dash, Gabe, and Even Flygon whose leg was in a splint. I blinked and asked "What's up everyone?" They just studied me until a doctor walked in and said "Jake, your heart stopped while you were asleep. The young woman who was staying in the room with you got a nurse, and we started your heart again. However there may have been serious damage." I raised an eyebrow and he continued "In case you're wondering, you were only asleep for a few minutes. While you were asleep we did two blood tests. The first before your heart stopped, and the second just before we started it again. Your friends said we should ask you before taking anymore of your blood." Gabe and Dash nodded and the girls glared at the doctor who shrank back behind Lady Shandi.

I smiled and said "Go ahead and take another sample, but I want to know the results when they all come back." The doctor nodded and pulled out a needle then shoved it into my wrist and slowly drew out about thirty cc's of blood. I watched him then smiled as he left and everyone started asking me questions. I held up a hand to stop them and said softly "I don't know what happened, but don't worry it was probably a one time thing. We'll know if it caused any change in me when the doctor gets back with his results, so just take flygon back to his room and get some sleep." Lady Shandi smiled and said "I'll make sure they do as you recommend however I demand that you follow your own advice and try to get some more sleep." I nodded and watched everyone file out then said "Haze you can come back in, I know you were listening and I'd like to hear your thoughts." Haze walked in with a slight smirk and said "They're right about your heart stopping, however they're wrong about how long it was for. The moment you closed your eyes your heart stopped, I waited five minutes then went and got them. You're heart started back up when they came in the first time, so they didn't believe me. However they took a blood sample since I said it was ok, then they left and you seemed slightly alert. After that I watched you for a few minutes then your heart stopped again. I ran out and got them, then they came back and took the second blood sample as your friends tried to restart your heart. I snuck out while everyone was distracted because I didn't want your girls to blame me for your condition." I grinned at the idea of the girls chewing out Haze then blinked and said "They aren't my girls. They're just a few friends who care about me." She smirked and said "You really expect me to believe something like that? I can smell two of them on you, and as for the other two, I know how they look at you. I once looked at a guy in the same way."

She glanced away covering her muzzle seeming surprised she'd said that and I said "I'm guessing you guys had trouble." She just gave me a blank look and I said "Alright, I'll drop it. However I want to know what Scribe meant when he said I had no idea what I was getting into." She sighed and said softly "I knew this was part of why he sent me to be the one to talk to you. You wouldn't show any kind of weakness, even if it was only asking those two a question. I guess I should start at the beginning." I nodded and she sighed then closed her eyes and started remembering something from ages past. Finally she opened her eyes and said "When I was a little girl, Chaos was already ancient. It was one of the few worlds that had created bridges to other realms. Scribe was already in his late twenties, or so he says when Chaos first connected to our realm. The denizens of Chaos spread out and tried to make peace with most groups. Even as Chaos tried to help other realms grow, another realm that many call Devoros was slowly corrupting worlds in its own image. The king of Chaos realized what was happening and asked the leaders of each realm to assemble volunteers who would face down the legions of Devoros. Scribe was one of those who volunteered. I don't know what happened to him, but it lead to him leaving our realm and coming to this one. From here Scribe would travel the worlds, because of its central location this realm is a perfect gating sight. The only world that can't be reached is Chaos which was sealed away by the last warrior at the same time as Devoros." I blinked and said "Why did this warrior seal away Chaos?" She smiled and said softly "He sealed away Chaos to protect those he cared about in the other worlds. In doing so however he lost his life and disconnected most of the bridges between worlds."

I blinked as the voice continued where Haze left off with _ "The hero supposedly was granted a boon by the gods that they themselves used. He was granted rebirth, but he requested his memories be locked away to protect the world from the knowledge he contained. However with his last breath he made a prophecy that said 'One day a new king will rise. They will have been born on the same day as a new world, and will rise as the old king falls. They will be born to a man who runs from the truth, and will see many lives. They will watch enemies rise and friends fall, however only those born in chaos will know this one for what they are. The denizens of Devoros will grow to fear their name and the forces of Chaos will cheer it from every rooftop. This is what the fates have decreed, and this is what I will always look forward to.' As his body faded his voice rang out in all the worlds with the words 'SO LONG AS ONE BELIEVES IN FREEDOM THE CAUSE WILL NEVER FALL!!!!! HOWEVER SO LONG AS THE WORLD DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THAT ONE, THAT ONE WILL ALWAYS BE ALONE.' The gods themselves wept at his death, and many wondered if he had any children. They know that he had three companions. One was a winged fox, one a sorcerer of great power, and the final one was a woman of immense beauty. The three were said to have been the last to stand with him as many gave in to Devoros, and yet it's said his cause was carried on by a boy who knew nothing of it." _ I blinked and shook my head as Haze continued "What's interesting however is that on the day of the warrior's death this realm came into existence. The bridge to chaos reopened sixteen years later. Only ten people walked through and of them one was a sixteen year old boy who said the king had fallen and his daughter was now queen. No one knows what happened to the ten of them; however the bridge opened two more times after this. Once five years later, and again three years after that. This was the final time the portal opened because when it closed the portal was sealed for good as the gateway crumbled. No one knows why the gateway closed, but Scribe thinks it's because this new king will have to prove himself."

I thought about it and nodded slowly then said "I think I can see where Scribe would get that idea. After all if the only gate in was destroyed then the hero had to create some way for the future king to get to his world." She thought about it then nodded and said "You know you sound a lot like Sage when he's feeling introspective." I blinked and said "You're friend Sage, thinks about things the same way as me?" She nodded and said "Occasionally, other times he's so unwilling to talk I don't know what he's thinking." I blinked and she continued "Haze is the same way. One minute he seems to look at the world like everyone else, the next he looks at the world from a slightly different view. I'm only ten years younger than him, and yet because of the war I can't really understand him." I nodded thinking about how different people could be despite growing up in the same area and very similar time periods. Haze studied me a while then said "You know what, I can tell this is all causing you some stress, so I'll finish explaining tomorrow." I nodded and she walked outside then I closed my eyes as they wheeled a cot into the room. I opened one eye and saw that Gabe was lying on the cot half asleep. I smiled at him and closed my eyes again then slowly let myself fall into a deep sleep.
