Corrupted Radiatons

by Michael Rogers

  Dawn: "Every member besides yourself in the guild has done their own thing, what about you?"

  Champion: "Oh?" *She looked down to her robes.* "I'm content being with them for now."

  Dawn: "Hmh." *She grunted in a curious-like manner.* "Besides ruling Surpreon's Battling Oxident, what exactly do you do in your spare time?"

  ----------

  *Rachael lay on her back on the dock and slowly exhaled with her eyes closed, as if she was sunbathing.*

  Rachael: (Every technique you used Trevour. I'll master them, in your honour.)

  *Rachael formed fists while lying in a relaxed, starfish-like manner, causing her leather gloves to stretch.*

  Rachael: (I'm sure you would have known, but Dust Storm wasn't the only technique I learnt from you.)

  *Rachael slowly opened her eyes and looked up to the clear blue sky.*

  Rachael: "In your honour, Trev. I will master each and every one of your techniques. That is my resolution in remembering you."

  ----------

  Lezard: *He hobbled across an aura-made path, feeling the fresh sea breeze blow against him.* "Let's see."

  *Lezard opened his pocketbook and started to flip through the pages, as he walked onto the land, causing the aura-made path to fade away.*

  Lezard: "The other woman turned to her and said, I know! I heard it snoring." *He paused and lowered the pocketbook in shock.* "Bwarharh!"

  ----------

  *A man completely covered in imperial-looking armour, proudly walked down a royal corridor.*

  ?????: "What is all this commotion in Dawn's research facility?" *He mumbled to himself and started to walk down a set of stairs.*

  --

  Dawn: *She looked at the champion in an unimpressed-like manner.* "I appreciate the fact you want to learn the many different ways to learn Rostical, but I'm slightly uninterested."

  Champion: "To me, Rostical is my reason to live."

  Dawn: "Oh?" (This is the first time she has actually spoken about herself, not Rostical.)

  Champion: "My dream has only been one thing."

  Dawn: "Mastering Rostical?"

  Champion: "No." *She looked down with a slight smile, as if she found Dawn's question humorous.*

  Dawn: "Then what?" *She discreetly glanced at the screen to see if it had finished scanning, before focusing her attention back to the champion.*

  Champion: "To be free."

  Dawn: "To be free? What are you talking about?"

  Champion: "You would be surprised at what you take for granted."

  --

  Dawn: "For granted? I'm still not following you?"

  *Lezard walked through a forest and noticed the air ripple in front of him, causing him to giggle.*

  Champion: "For example, you hurt your hand and are unable to use it, you'll be surprised by how much you use it."

  Dawn: "And?"

  Champion: "Having no food or items to trade."

  Dawn: "We don't have to worry about that."

  *Lezard hobbled up to the warped air and extended his arm, watching it unnaturally ripple.*

  Champion: "One of the biggest things people take for granted, is their freedom." *She spoke with a sad-filled smile and looked up to the ceiling.*

  Dawn: "Interesting."

  *Lezard placed the pocketbook into his robes and stepped forward, leaving behind a fading image of himself.*

  --

  ?????: "Another thing people take for granted, is their time." *The man in imperial armour walked into the research facility, startling Dawn and the champion.*

  Champion: "Oh my-" *She hobbled to the side and glanced at the man.* "Greetings."

  Dawn: "Ordin? What brings you here?"

  Ordin: *He took several steps forward, causing his white and blue armour to rattle.* "Grey's secondary alarms have gone off. What has happened?"

  Dawn: "The corrupted Radiatons. I expect whatever it is, has been set off again."

  Ordin: "This is serious! Whereabouts is its location? I will have his majesty perform a high levelled Remenistal to seal it off."

  Dawn: "Research and I don't know."

  Ordin: "Don't know? How appalling. Scanning the origins to a Roharnia based wave is one of the easiest things to scan for-"

  Dawn: "Don't you think I don't know this?! That is why I am slightly frustrated!"

  Ordin: "Hmph." *He turned around, flicking his cape to the side.* "I will be back in five minutes. I expect an explanation as to why your Rosterology consoles are having problems detecting something of such severity and extravagance."

  Dawn: "Tsskt." *She gritted her teeth in an annoyed-like manner.* "Yes."

  Ordin: "You may be Silver Wind Island's brains, but I'm its sword. Remember that well before speaking to me in such a tone."

  Dawn: (I don't know why it's taking so-)

  Champion: "For clarity, does this five minutes begin when you leave our company, or from the moment you spoke?" *She glanced at Dawn and winked in a protective-like manner.*

  Ordin: "Hmph." *He grunted and walked out of the facility, leaving behind the fading sounds of his armour rattling.*

  Dawn: "Thank you."

  Champion: *She smiled in acknowledgement.* "From previous experiences, why are you detectors having such problems? They are usually spot on."

  Dawn: "Well, research already has the signature stored in the detectors, by theory, it should have been found almost instantaneously."

  Champion: "Oh my?"

  ----------

  *Lezard stepped forward and rubbed his eyes, noticing the area was night.*

  Lezard: "Holy fish-cakes, it's night now? These Spacial Funnels give Lezard the creeps." *He scanned the area, noticing a woman with dark brown hair sitting in front of a lake.* "There's the luscious Loonzamotto."

  Luna: *She covered the deep slash-like cuts on her wrist, sniffling to herself.* "Aye? Destiny?"

  *Luna hugged her legs and blinked several times, staring at complete darkness.*

  Luna: "Where are you?"

  *Luna opened and closed her eyes and looked up and down, shaking her head.*

  Luna: (Destiny? Where did you go?) *She paused and started to breathe heavily.* "I'm alone? Aha, I'm alone again."

  *Luna started to whimper and dug her nails into the cuts, causing them to bleed more profusely.*

  Luna: "I'm all alone!-"

  Lezard: "Don't say that, you delightful sausage-"

  Luna: *She gasped in shock, as if she wasn't expecting anyone to be around.* "When-...?"

  Lezard: "I just got here, silly sausage." *He spoke with a giggle and hobbled towards Luna, staring at her back.* "Dawn's research friend, even though I've never met him before, has found something-"

  Luna: "Fuck. Off." *She shivered in disgust and tilted her head away, trying to hide the tears.*

  Lezard: "Jinkies!" *He meowed like a cat and hissed at Luna.* "What's wrong-"

  Luna: "Go away, aye."

  Lezard: (She usually tells me to go away, but not in this tone.) *He shuffled to the side, so he would approach Luna from the side and not behind.*

  Luna: "I don't know if I can take it anymore, sometimes I think, is it even worth it-?"

  Lezard: "Don't say that-" *He noticed Luna's blood covered arm, causing him to gasp.*

  Luna: "Get away from me now." *She looked to her side in a blind-like manner.*

  Lezard: (She's blind? Where's Destiny-?)

  Luna: "Leave me alone, I'm fine." *She shivered on the spot and tried not to sniff or show signs of emotion.*

  Lezard: "Who are you trying to fool, little monster?" *He spoke in a mature-like manner, as if he knew it was a serious scenario.* "Are you hurt? Has something happened?"

  Luna: "Leave me alone-" *She suddenly grunted in frustration.* "Piss off like the rest of you usually do."

  Lezard: *He looked confused, as he very slowly shuffled closer to Luna.* "I don't know what you're talking about-"

  Luna: "People that get close to me-" *She stared at the
mirror-like reflection on the lake.* "They always leave me. Ahahahaha, you only care 'cause I'm hurt-"

  Lezard: "No, that's not it. I care about you, Loonzamotto."

  Luna: "No you don't! Everyone looks at me. They all look at me!"

  Lezard: (She's overcome with such a strong sense of emotion, she isn't making sense.)

  Luna: *She dug her nails into her cuts, causing blood to spurt.* "It's my fault, it has to be my fault."

  Lezard: (Her nails are razor sharp.) *He thought to himself in recollection.* "Who's looking at you?"

  Luna: "They all are. They look at me like, I'm a loser, and I'll always be a loser!"

  Lezard: "Bwarharh." *He chuckled and hobbled closer to Luna.*

  Luna: "Wat the fuck is so funny?"

  Lezard: "No... We can be losers together."

  Luna: "A-Aye?"

  Lezard: *He took off his cone-shaped hat and dropped to his knees, sitting on them next to Luna.* "You.. I've always been a loser.. People look at me differently.."

  Luna: "Tryin' to relate? Pssht. You don't have to make me feel any better-"

  Lezard: "You idiot." *He looked at the cuts on her arm in a worried-like manner.*

  Luna: "Aye?" *She spoke with sadness and anger.*

  Lezard: "You're worried that they're laughing at you. So was I when I felt out of place."

  Luna: "..."

  Lezard: "But father and mother monster helped me. They made me realise one special thing."

  Luna: "That you're a retarded fuck?"

  Lezard: "No.." *He pulled an awkward face, as he didn't like Luna's swearing.* "That they aren't the ones that should be laughing."

  *Lezard reached out taking advantage of Luna's blindness and suddenly grabbed onto her arm.*

  Luna: "Let go!"

  Lezard: "People laugh at me because I'm different, but you know, I laugh at them because they're all the same!"

  Luna: *She gasped with widening eyes.* "No. If I was like them, I probably wouldn't be-"

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION" *A swirl of warm light wrapped itself around Luna's arm, closing the slash-like cuts.*

  Luna: "The pain? It's going?"

  Lezard: "Quick internal light-"

  Luna: "No!" *She screamed and tried to withdraw her arm.*

  Lezard: "Let me heal you!"

  Luna: "I don't want to be healed!-"

  Lezard: *He struggled to keep Luna's arm in place.* "INVOKING-"

  Luna: "No! Stop it!" *She screamed in frustration and tucked her middle finger under her nail, clicking a spark of lightning.*

  Lezard: "What are you doing?" *He spoke in shock.*

  Luna: "I dare you, try me."

  Lezard: "AURA"

  Luna: "No!" *She grunted in a scream-like manner and the lightning swirled around her, flashing up Lezard's arm.*

  Lezard: "Ouchies!" *He wailed in pain.*

  Luna: "Stop helping!"

  Lezard: "I don't want to!"

  Luna: "Why?!"

  Lezard: *He gritted his teeth, as Luna's faint yellowish lightning burnt his skin.* "Because.. I want someone else to laugh with."

  Luna: "Gah." *She froze with a dropping jaw, as the lightning flashed away.*

  Lezard: "What is this-?" *He watched Luna's lightning flash under his skin.*

  Luna: "This feelin'?"

  Lezard: *He watched light move under his skin with uncertainty.* "Your Neurons are-?"

  Luna and Lezard: "Hi-Ougi." *A fluoro yellow and white glyph spiralled opposite ways underneath their bodies.*

  Lezard: "Words are-"

  Luna: "Flowing into my body?"

  Luna and Lezard: *They simultaneously gasped at the same time in trance-like manners.* "HOLY STORM" *White rays of lightning fell from the sky, striking into the sand around them.*

  *Luna and Lezard both gasped, as they let go of each other in disorientation.*

  Luna: "Gah-" *She withdrew her arm and tucked it close to her chest, as she panted in shock.*

  Lezard: "Ooo." *He squealed and leant away from Luna, glancing at the sand where the lightning struck.*

  Luna: "Wat happened? Did we just Owgee or somethin'?"

  Lezard: *He watched weeds grow out of certain spots in the sand.* (The lightning had a high condense of Radiatons embedded in the Neurons?)

  Luna: *She slowly exhaled and wiped the tears away.* "Fuck.." *She sniffed and started to collect her composure.*

  Lezard: "They say, those that form a strong emotional bond are able to mix their Neurons and Astragons together, resulting in a Hi-Ougi."

  Luna: "S-So wat?" *She spoke with a frail voice, as she was still recovering from her recent frame of mind.*

  Lezard: "Does that mean we're besties now?"

  Luna: "Shut up." *She spoke with a smile.*

  Lezard: "It smiles?! Lezard wins!" *He threw his hands in the air in excitement.*

  Luna: (Wat a dumbarse..) *She thought to herself with a smile.*

  Lezard: *He observed the area around Luna.* "Where is Destiny, and what exactly did you hurt yourself on?"

  Luna: "I dunno, aye. And I can't remember."

  ----------

  *Destiny floated through the canopy of a large forest, looking down to a dirt path.*

  Destiny: "Yeu." *She meowed to herself and looked surprised, as if she couldn't think properly.*

  *Destiny floated around several branches and watched a flock of bird-like Scoldrants made of stone swarm directly towards her.*

  Destiny: "Heusst."

  *Destiny barely avoided the stone wings, as they soared past her.*

  Destiny: "Yeu, yeu!" *She meowed in a startled-like manner, as if she wanted Luna to help her.*

  ----------

  Luna: (I'm sorry, Destiny. I didn't mean to attack you..) *A heartbeat-like pulse thumped through her body, causing her to see a forest.* "It's day?"

  Lezard: *He looked up, shaking his head in disagreement.* "No, little monster. This Spacial Funnel is night."
