"Your memories? From when you were little, in the future?" Kuro asked aloud. He wondered why she was getting them so suddenly. "Please, tell me what happened the other day, when you disappeared, and everything after that."
Lunaura sighs, a clear sign that she really doesn't want to explain it. "I was getting your present. There was suddenly a fire going on in one of the houses in the village I was visiting. So, I went to see if everyone is alright. I heard an Igglybuff was trapped in the fire. I went in to save it, but it turned out to be a ditto and I was soon knocked out. When I regained consciousness, I was in a strange cell like area. Luckily, I got out and returned. But that was it," she explained. She really didn't want to talk about her memories. Besides, she's still confused on where they took place.
Kuro rubbed his paw against his chin. "So while I was gone, that happened to you, and know you're suffering from these bursts of memory that you don't remembering being a part of, but they're still familiar to you?" Kuro asked, to confirm he understood the situation.
Lunaura looks to Kuro and nods. "Yes. These memories... I am not sure where I was at, but it does involve with me and my family going into the future. But still..." she says, but mumbles the last two words as she looks down. Lunaura removed her hand from Kuro and clenches her hands. It's just all too confusing. *"Mommy, I'm scared..." Lunaura flinches as she looks around her surroundings. She's back in that same laboratory from her last trip to memory lane! "Alright then. Begin the experiment by sending them to a different part of this world," said a different voice she didn't recognize. She then feels herself shivering. And soon, she sees a strange blue, purple, and black creature and one... no, two... no, three pairs of eyes!! And then another set of eyes, but had a yellow color, and some white fur. Who in the world are they? She suddenly sees a bright light and is starting to panic! Lunaura soon hears other voices and it's starting to hurt her head. She has her hands to her head tight so she can try to get the voices out of her head.* "Mistress Lunaura! Snap out of it!" Lunaura suddenly snaps as she feels someone shaking her. She looks around and sees Chansey shaking her. She looks around and sees everyone except Kichiro, Natasha, Hikaru, Melody, and Ophelia. She quickly gets her act together and calms down. "I'm sorry," she mumbled out. "I... need some time to myself. Please excuse me everyone," she formally announces and walks off. Chansey watches Lunaura walk off and gets worried. She then looks to Kuro. "We're so sorry, Kuro. Lunaura has been acting like this since today. Earlier before she came here, she almost attacked Bisharp out of no where while sweating and paling up..." she explains to Kuro.
"No, it's fine, I just..." Kuro began, before walking away hurriedly, pushing past onlookers. He felt beads of sweat on his forehead, and his glasses were fogging up. "Asuna? Asuna, can you hear me?" Kuro whispered. "Loud and clear." "Did you... see that?" Kuro asked shakily. "Everything you see, I see. But that's... new. Why did you give her such a tortured past when you made her, she's so nice." Asuna said, making Kuro feel guilty. "That was twelve years ago, and I don't even remembering doing it! Anyway, I need you to track Luna's coordinates at the moment she disappeared from the village, and take me there." Kuro commanded. "Alright, this should only take a moment... There, I've found them. Now I'm teleporting you there, hold on." Asuna said, before Kuro's vision began to fade. When it came back, he was in a dark cell-like room. "So this is where she was taken..." he muttered, before hearing voices approaching him. hey were very quiet, which means they were still a few good metres away, but Kuro pressed himself up against the darkest corner of the room, hoping they wouldn't come in or see him.
Lunaura finally deep breathes once she's away. She needs answers! She knows the best place to look for is at the same lab she was at before. None of this had ever happened until she escaped from that prison lab! She might want to warn Kuro, but she doesn't want him to get involved. She nods to herself and starts walking back to the lab. ~ While Kuro was hiding, a Shiftry and Elgyem were passing by talking to each other. and are unaware of Kuro. "So you're saying she's still alive?! But that's impossible! The experiment with her and the other two were total failures!" the Elgyem says with surprise. "I thought so too, but then I heard one of these Pokémon mentioning a name that the one stranger said to her offspring 11 years ago! Also, when the subject was caught, it has been a 100% confirmed that it really is her! At least we still have a chance with this experiment," Shiftry replies as they walked past Kuro. The rest of their conversation were mumbles. Little did Kuro know, he's being spied on! The ditto watches Kuro walk around and eye narrows at him suspiciously. It quietly talks through its little communicator for a minute to report. It hears talking through the communicator and nods. "Understood," it replies in a quiet whisper. It then quietly follows Kuro quietly and blends in to the environment so it can't be seen.
"Experiment? She was part of an experiment? I need to further look into this..." Kuro thought as he planned to move from his hiding spot. The second he moved out of that shadow, his felt something change in the air. His eyes became droopy, and he noticed something smirking in the shadows. For a second it was a Shroomish, but then it was a Ditto. "This is... Spore..." Kuro mumbled, before passing out on the floor.
As soonn as Kuro regains consscious, a Marowak is seen as it is working on on something while Kuro can't move due to being chained to a wall. He soon ses Kuro awake and humphs. "So, you're awake," he says while continuing his work.
"Hey! Why am I chained to this wall? Where am I? What do you want with me?" Kuro growled, struggling against the chains.
The Marowak soon finished hhis work and eye narrows at Kuro. "Where you're at is something kept to us. After all, it is you who invaded us. So, what is itt that you want?" he asks while glaring.
Kuro glared at the Marowak. "Answers. I need to know what these experiments you did on that human family were. And if you don't tell me, I'll force you to." Kuro growled.
THe Marowak looks at Kuro with the look of confusion while glaring at Kuro. But it must have been obvious that he was spying on them. He humphs. "That is none of your concern. But if you really want to know, all I'll say is that the experiment was a complete failure since the humans are dead. So why worry about it?" he says.
"Because they're not all dead! One of them survived, and she's my mate." Kuro growled, his Dual Wield Sacred Swords appearing in his hands, Kuro using them to slash at the chains on the opposite hands, cutting them off in one clean swipe. Then he pushed the two blades together, forming a single, larger blade. He approached the Marowak, the chains on his wrists dangling in a creepy manner. He removed his glasses so the Marowak could see the full extent of his anger, portrayed by his blood red eyes which seemed to glow in the dark room. "I suggest you take me to your leader, before something happens that you won't be able to fix." Kuro said in a monotone, raising his sword to show he was ready to fight if he needed.
The Marowak flinches and looks to Kuro with shock. How on earth does this Lucario know Sacred Sword?! That's just impossible!! He doesn't even have time to call for back up. "Now, now there is no need for violence," a sudden voice said. A Hypno suddenly steps forward gently. "We don't want to cause any attention to the others," he added as he walks until he is in between Marowak and Kuro. "Hello. I am Hypno, and I am one of the three bosses here in this organization," he says to introduce himself. "So, you know our little Eclipse? How is she doing?" he asks.
Kuro suddenly lunged forward, his sword hitting the spot just where Hypno's head and neck met, but not making contact. "Don't speak about Luna like you know her. I don't even remember making you; why are you here? What did you do to Luna? Why is she experiencing these sudden bursts of memory?"
Hypno calmly stays still and eye narrows. "Making us, huh?" he questions until it finally hits him. "Ooooh! So, you're the one who created this world. What an honor to meet you. I must say, I didn't expect you to be one of us, but I guess it's because you're in this world and not in the human world," he says. He then looks confused about the name, but then understands who Kuro is talking about. "Oh of course I know Lunaura Eclipse. After all, it's thanks to me and this organization that you get to meet her," he added with a smirk. "And I highly recommend you put that sword away," he says as he uses psychic to push Kuro to a wall.
Kuro grunted as he hit the wall, his head making contact before the rest of his body, causing him to pass out as he slumped to the floor. "Lock him back up." Hypno ordered, Marowak obeying without argument. "Sir, what are we going to do with him? We can't just keep knocking him out; he controls this world. Soon he'll be able to escape, and that could mean an end to the organization." Marowak said as he fixed the chains on Kuro's wrist so they were reattached to thd chains on the wall.
"This is true..." the Hypno said, but then turns to Marowak. "But, don't worry. Hearing what he said about our little Eclipse proves that she's coming as we speak. Plus, he has no control of us here. And in fact, he could be very useful for us. For starters, he is our little Eclipse's mate. This will surely have her do what we want," he says again. "And besides, they both can help us find it," he added and walks off as the Marowak follows him.
Kuro wakes up a few hours later, anticipating someone to be there, but the room is empty. He sighed in defeat, not having enough energy to break free from the chains. His wrists were red raw from his unconscious struggles and they stung like hell. He wondered if anyone would come, but he hoped Luna didn't. It was obviously what they wanted, and he'd feel horrible if she showed up.
Lunaura finally arrives at place she was once taken to. It's time to see who these Pokémon are. As quietly as she could, she returns to the cell she once was in and looks around. As far as she can see, there is literally nothing in the room. She then walks out, but stops when she sees someone in another cell. It's Kuro! She immediately breaks to cell bars, much to Kuro's surprise. "Kuro, what are you doing here?" she asks as she starts getting the chains off of Kuro.
