~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 4 – Parasites ~*~*~*~*~



“Lady Lilith…welcome back, how was the mission?” asked a random female servant.



“I’m fine, did you do as I commanded you?” answered her master entering the laboratory of her hidden lair, she sounded tired.



“Yes, his condition remains stable and the transformation is advancing well, all dosages are controlled and perfectly timed.”



“Okay…very well Ava, you’re next on my list for transformations, with your medical knowledge you’ll be a very useful hybrid. Leave us now, I want to be alone.”



“Yes Mistress, thank you.” she obeyed walking away.



“…”



“Hey there Sammy, you evolved a lot while I was out…amazing.” Lilith comment looking at the boy, his tail was beginning to form itself.



“It was hard but I did it…with all variations of Arceus Plates I don’t need to depend on draining energy from pokemon anymore, now I can transform anytime into any element I want. Cool huh?



They may not be the real thing but the energy they release works perfectly anyways… my comrades would kill me if I even got close to the original ones.



But I did screw up a bit…they saw me transformed and using Teleport…Damien won’t like it, he never appreciates anything that isn’t done perfectly *sight*. I wonder if he’ll ever even think of me as something besides a tool…a puny tool.



He’s not stupid, he most likely knows I do all this because of him but I can’t show that anymore…he doesn’t want sad love fools among the team.



I should be doing this for our believes…and I want too, I really do believe in his vision. But I’m still human…my heart has needs. You get that don’t you? Bah, of course you don’t, you fell for me just like all others did, there’s nothing but hollow hearts in this world it sickens me.



Oh well, I like you anyways that’s why I picked you. But still…it makes me wonder…why don’t my powers even slightly affect Damien? Because he’s too fucking powerful? Or is he immune to emotions?



…Either way. I’m speaking to a boy stuck in a tube this is pitiful…I need to go train, once Damien finds out about this I’ll need to prove my failure was worth the trouble. Wake up soon, I have lots of work waiting for you.”



~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~



Meanwhile on Damien’s base, one month later.



“Let’s fight. I’ll win this time.” demanded Jack crossing his arms.



“First, you’ll never defeat me I have overall advantage over you. Second, I’m on a leisure day so go play by yourself noob.” answered Noah as if he was speaking to a child, he was laying shirtless inside the fountain with the water falling over his head.



“Oh yeah? First, have you any idea of how stupid you look in there? Second, no wonder you’re tired all you’ve been doing is take it up the ass like a scrawny bitch.” retaliated Jack.



“If you think teasing me is gonna make me move you’re dead wrong, at least I’m not the one desperately peeking through doors…jealous much?” he ended calmly wrapping his arms under his head, he knew he had won the discussion.



“…What?...Wait…No! I didn’t…” gasped Jack nervously. During his days inside the mansion he had to find some hobbies to spend his time, but asides from training and reading there wasn’t much to do. He didn’t want to admit that he really was becoming a stalker, his spying habits were not only to hopefully listen to useful information but because the action between Damien and Noah was actually the most interesting thing to watch in there.



“Speechless? Hell must be freezing right now…” joked the water hybrid.



“Fuck off boy toy, I need to train.”



Upset and ashamed he began moving away but as soon as he turned his back Jack felt himself being pushed into the water by a strong force. He hated having so much disadvantage against Noah, asides the obvious Fire and Water difference his Fighting side was also easily defeated by Psychic abilities.



“You know Jack, if you want to join us all you have do is ask…sneaking around is pretty sad.” mumbled Noah on the young man’s ear, he had him clutched around his arms with a hand slowly moving up inside his wet t-shirt.



“What the fuck are you doing…?”



“My orders were to tutor and watch over you while the Master is away, so I guess it would also be my job to end this sexual tension of yours, it’s making you distracted and weaker. A teacher has to look after his student.”



“Cut the crap… weeks ago you hated my guts. Let me go.” said Jack without hesitation, he was feeling weak and dizzy so he knew he couldn’t fight his way out of the other hybrids arms.



“I admit I was jealous of you but I’m over it now, we’re both the Masters favorites and that’s an honor. You’ve actually grown on me lately, now I can see what he saw in you.” answered Noah. He wasn’t lying, he enjoyed having Jack as an apprentice, it was good to actually be above someone instead of always being an underling.



“Which part of “Cut the crap and let me go” didn’t you get?”



“Relax, I’m only playing around with you, if we’re both here to stay we should at least get along. Besides, you seriously need to learn to withstand water right now you probably couldn’t even take a long shower.” he assumed, finally unleashing the other man.



“Whatever.”



Jack stepped out of the water and left the greenhouse. However, as soon as he reached the outdoors he noticed something was off.



“Humm…dude? You might want to see this…”



“What?” asked Noah teleporting himself to Jack’s left side, but no longer needing an answer since he could easily see the problem by himself.



The hidden barrier wasn’t invisible anymore, shades of purple glowed in stroke waves coming from the West.



Jack ran towards the location, he finally rationalized that it could be an exit, unfortunately he had already warned Noah which was incredibly stupid and naïve, the young man was getting far to comfy about his imprisonment. By the time he got there the other hybrid was already standing at the border and like always there was no possibility of escape.



“That is fucking unfair…Golducks aren’t even suppose to Teleport!” he complained out of breath.



“I’m an experienced hybrid, we’re way above common pokemon, now be quiet.”



“What’s going on?”



“That.” answered Noah pointing at a shadowy figure outside the barrier, it was like a dark smoke ghost.



“What the fuck is that?”



“Who not what.” he answered. Soon after the shadowy figure turned into a person Jack had not seen in a long time, she was throwing attacks at the barrier making it flash multiple colors.



“The psychotic bitch?? What is she doing here???” he demanded, recognizing the person to be the weirdo that attacked him and Vi in the Petalburg Woods long ago.



“That’s Mistress Nina Harper and good question, none of the other Masters are suppose to even know about the location of this place.”



“Isn’t Damien suppose to be some sort of leader? Why the hell is she attacking us?”



“She’s not attacking, she’s trying to figure out how the barrier works, don’t worry she’ll never get in.”



“Are you sure? I tried attacking this shit tons of times and it never glowed before.” he said with a teasing tone, he wasn’t scared, Jack actually wanted to see if she could manage to teach him how to break that thing.



“Unlike you she knows how psychic barriers work, still, only my Master can enter this territory.”



For a while they stood there watching her struggling to get in, Jack even used the opportunity to crack some jokes at the unsuccessful intruder. Nevertheless, a few minutes later she decided to try a different approach reaching for an item in her pockets.



Noah’s eyes opened in shock.



“Jack get the fuck out of here now.”



“What? Why?”



“Do as I tell you dammit, get the hell away from here immediately!”



“Is she gonna blow us up or something?” he wondered still without feeling any fear, looking at her he saw the young woman placing a golden plaque with a purple gem on her chest, strangely it began to morph with her body, “What’s that thing?”



“GET OUT OF HERE…NOW!!” shouted Noah calmly but menacingly.



“I’ll leave peacefully if you answer my questions.” answered Jack enjoying to have the upper hand, he knew Noah wasn’t trying to get him away for his safety.



“I don’t have time for this crap…” finished the servant placing one hand over Jack’s eyes and forcing him to teleport into the mansion.



“…”



“Sun of a bitch…what the hell?” complained Jack, not about being teleported away, but about his confused state of mind. When he tried to move to the right his body went into the left, trying to raise an arm he would raise the opposite one, everything was messed up.



Meanwhile Nina’s body slowly transformed itself, the once pale tone was now deep indigo and the eyes became a full bordeaux shade of red. The clothes melted into the skin along with the hair that gained the shape of long delicate tentacles.



Once again she tried striking the barrier, making it shimmer and shiver as if it was possible for an unanimated being to feel pain. Still it did not break.



Noah new this meant bad news, nobody could enter that place with normal powers but also nobody was suppose to have disobeyed his Master’s orders and taken hold of such items. Nina’s behavior had been calculated by Damien, sooner or later he knew she would try to prove she’s nobody’s bitch, but for Noah this was way off anything anticipated, for him it was a betrayal.



Soon in front of him a dark portal appeared and from it the transformed hybrid finally managed to invade the secret location. He could feel a monstrous power emanating from her.



“I see, it messes up cognitive senses but maintains everything in place…cute trick.” she joked, with a deeper voice tone than usual.



“This location is off limits, please leave.” said Noah politely but threatening.



“Oh, I remember you, you’re Damien’s pet toy aren’t you? Where’s your Master I want to have a word with him.”



“Master Damien has an appointment with you in two weeks, please wait until then.”



“With you? Who do you think you’re talking with? I want to see him now.”



“The Master is not here at the moment.”



“You sound like an answering machine, where is that fucker?”



“He’s out on a mission…one that apparently has been done already.” he answered staring at the jewel melted into her chest.



“Oh sarcasm…now I like you a bit more. What was your name anyways?”



“Noah Landers.”



“Well mister Landers, why don’t you go dry yourself and put some clothes on before giving me a tour around this place, your Master shouldn’t take long to return.”



“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” he answered nervous but maintaining a plain expression.



“You’re the type of servant that would die following orders aren’t you? Let’s try to avoid that.” she teased sneaking up from his shadow and holding him from behind, “So how about we go have some fun while we wait? I bet that jerk will take a while to return…”



Interrupted by her own increased senses Nina stopped and looked towards the mansion, someone from a window was staring at her. Instinctively she turned into her shadow form and moved towards the other person.



“Dammit Jack…” mumble Noah before teleporting himself.



~*~*~*~*~



“That’s a portal! If I find a way to get there unnoticed I could get out of this freaking place!” thought Jack as soon as he finally reached a window, his reflexes were slowly returning to normal. Moments later he noticed both Nina and Noah had suddenly vanished, “What?”.



“IDIOT!” shouted Noah appearing next to him.



“Oh my…what do we have here?”



Jack immediately turned around facing the demonic beauty. He could sense a negative angering aura coming from her, that forced him to remember of all the pain she had put his friend through like a sudden bitter flashback.



“I’m sorry I ignored you the first time we met, if I had known you were Damien’s little favorite bitch things would have been very different…” she mocked.



“Jack don’t do anything stupid.” said the other young man with a very calming tone. Noah had been using Calm Mind on himself to keep his cool but he wasn’t sure if Jack would be able to handle himself.



“Why are the two of you so afraid of me? I only bite if you try to bite me first.” she teased.



“May I ask your reasons to be here? Can we help you with anything?” asked Noah politely, which in his inner mind could have been translated into: “What the fuck do you want from us? Get your blue ass out of here already!”.



“Well pretty boy, I was off on my missions for a very long time and finally when I return I discover that your dear Master stole one of my pets. Just because unlike him I don’t like to bring in losers…” she said pointing at Jack’s wrathful frowning face, “…that doesn’t mean I decided to let her off permanently, he had no reasons to release my bitch of the curse I gave her!”



“…”



Jack’s face was irradiating rage along with flames that were emanated from his head. He had no doubts about who she was referring herself to.



“HOW DARE YOU??” he shouted raging, soon having the sad idea of trying to attack her with a Fire Punch.



Calmly defending herself she turned his attack in a Payback, causing the returned red fire to take a dark azure tone and a sharp shape. Before being hit Jack felt as if time had stopped for seconds, his mind stopped processing what was happening and he only returned to his senses after seeing Noah bleeding on the floor. Remembering what had just happened he recalled being pushed towards the wall, which could only mean the other hybrid had taken the hit to save him.



“Dammit! This is far too much damage!! I can’t control my strength like this!!” complained Nina staring at her hands, in her mutated state she forgot her powers were far above normal.



“…what?...what did you do to him?” mumbled Jack.



“Shit I didn’t want none of this to happen! AHHHH” she shouted in pain, apparently she was having an overload. Nina clenched herself in pain before the gem began returning to its metallic shape and eventually falling off her chest.



Back on her normal state the female hybrid decided it was better to walk away.



“Tell Damien not to mess around with my belongings again…and give this to him.” she said before throwing the strange item to the floor near Jack. Afterwards she vanished in her shadow shape exiting and closing the portal she had opened before.



“I told you…not to do…anything stupid…damn it…” complained Noah. He knew he didn’t have much time before passing out so he summoned enough water to produce a healing Aqua Ring around himself, which left him fainted inside a sphere of glowing liquids that slowly became red with his blood.



“…please don’t die dammit…”



“…”



“FUCK!! DAMIEN WHERE ARE YOU??”





~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



A few hours had passed and Jack was sitting outside of Damien’s laboratory in the basement. He had mixed feelings about the whole situation, on one hand he knew it wasn’t his fault for being imprisoned in there but on the other hand he hated having someone dying because of his hot temper.



He was aware that Noah most likely did that sacrifice only because those was his orders, but still…he felt like he should be the one bleeding out, not the guy that tried to save him, as a ranger Jack was used to saving people not being the one that needed protection.



Basically he felt like shit for hours, Noah wasn’t necessarily a friend but if he died Jack knew he would never forgive himself.



Finally the door opened and Damien appeared from the dark room. As always he had a serious and regal aura to himself but this time he was for from emotionless, his eyes showed a deep wrath that Jack had never seen in anybody.



Their eyes met for seconds that unnervingly felt like hours, Jack was actually afraid to speak but still that didn’t stop him from breaking the silence.



“I’m sorry…but it wasn’t my fau…” he tried to say before being thrown into a wall violently with a Psychic attack.



He was repeatedly tossed around until blood came out of mouth, but before he could say anything else Damien vanished from his sight.



Trying to pull himself together he got up on his feet and walked towards the room supporting himself on the walls. Jack was now afraid of the meaning behind that sudden attack.



After entering he saw a large round container filled with a transparent light green liquid, inside of it laid Noah naked with several tubes injected into him along with a breathing mask. There was a large wound hole near his left hip…but his chest was moving.



“Thank God…” he mumbled falling on his knees.



~*~*~*~*~



By the time the sun was setting down Jack was leaving the shower, he was laughing at the irony of the other man being right, apparently he really couldn’t even stay ten minutes bathing himself.



He picked a towel and wrapped it around his hips, his body was completely sore and covered in bruises. However, he didn’t have a single broken bone or muscle damage, unlike the hot headed hybrid Damien was able to keep control of his abilities even when enraged.



Entering his room he noticed he wasn’t alone. The red haired man was calmly waiting for him with an even colder expression than normal.



“I need to speak with you. Sit down.”
