Warning: Mature Themes in this chapter.

I awoke the morning after the entire fiasco slightly confused as to where my arm had gone before recalling what had happened and sighing at the ever-expanding list of inconveniences I had to deal with.

I got up out of bed and cleaned myself up before going to the kitchen to make breakfast, it was going to be very difficult with one hand so I made another using aura and after getting used to it, I was able to make breakfast without too much trouble. 

After I finished laying out the pokemon food, I brought Altair her breakfast, she was already awake, which surprised me a bit since I expected her to grieve a bit longer. Well, that was a half-truth since she was grieving on the inside, she just tried her hardest not to show it.

"I've brought some breakfast, I hope it is to your liking. In addition, should I still call the number you gave me yesterday?" 

"N-no, and thank you for the breakfast"

"No need for thanks since I need you to... get back to good health a soon as possible..." I stated awkwardly as I was going to say 'I need you to be ready for training' but was reminded by Voltanuc and Mewtwo to show more sympathy.

"I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me" She returned with a sad smile on her face which I was slightly surprised by since I expected her to hate me

"Well you could start by getting better and then we'll work it out from there," I said with a faked smile and exited the room, though as soon as the door closed behind me I felt really drained and leaned against the door for some support.

"You guys suck, you know that?" I chastised as I sorted out my thoughts

"That was hilarious to watch and comment on, on a side note, I've been able to restore contact with my sister and she is recovering as well, I believe we should get Altair accustomed asap and begin training" Voltanuc recommended 

"Finally, something we can agree on, but let's get me a new limb first," I responded before sitting down and eating breakfast.

After finishing breakfast and collecting Altair's plate, I went out to Orsay city, which was a large modern city, probably one of a kind in Kalos. After some scouring and looking on the internet, I learned that A.R.C had a research lab in this city, so I decided to do some snooping.

I snuck in with relative ease and found that they were fitting their army with cybernetics here, which was pretty convenient for me, and also pretty bad for me. So after dressing up as one of the many inline and knocking the original out, I was fitted for a cybernetic limb and it fit quite well. 

After going to the training grounds and sparring with the other people I decided I had enough of blending in with my enemies and decided to blow the place along with its occupants to smithereens.

"Emperors Charge," I ordered as soon as I walked street away from the building

Not soon after, I giant yellow flash engulfed the entire facility and in blew up, the explosion knocked people into the air and shattered all the glass in the area, with some trees and bus stops along with signs getting blown away due to the wind.

"Cursed Voltage," I said while using Aura Aurora, this combo painted the sky black and white while also giving the site of the previous explosion an electric barrier. This was all for theatrical purposes but I wanted to let loose a bit anyway. 

As I was walking back towards the bunker, I was suddenly ambushed by a group of 10, and I immediately identified them as the clan.

I dodged the first strike before spinning on my heel and using Force Palm which blew away 3 of the members and killed them while I backflipped to avoid some bullets. I then shot 3 Aura Spheres which killed 3 more people, instantly sucking them of all their aura. 

"Yukihira" I muttered and raised my hands above my head, summoning a glistening white long sword that split into pieces and took out the rest.

"What a waste of time and men," I sighed as I walked back to the bunker.

When I got back my pokemon jumped on me to observe my new prosthetic and after toying with it a bit, they went back to doing whatever they were doing. I was left bored and Mewtwo suggested I should meditate and so I joined him in doing so.

"Empty my mind," I thought as I relaxed my muscles and closed my eyes

As I was reaching a meditative state, a bright flash happened and it felt like I was sucked through something before appearing in an old stone hall.

Around me were pedestals, some with orbs that were either black or yellow, and some with none at all. The ones with none at all were at the beginning and as I walked forward more pedestals had orbs until I reached a point where all the pedestals had orbs and I could see a large stone door with intricate carvings ahead.

"Voltanuc? You there?" I called out but got no response

I kept walking towards the door and when I reached it, I realized there was no way to open it. I tried pushing the doors but they wouldn't budge and there was no insertion slot for a key or anything.

I tried flying around into the void with my Aura but I just ended up back where I started.

Then the hall shook and a black miasma flooded in from the cracks that had formed.

"Shit," I muttered and ran from it as fast as possible, that was the darkness and I knew if it touched me I was gone. The halls kept crumbling around me and I kept running as the miasma chased after me.

Then suddenly the floor collapsed and I started falling, I couldn't use my aura and as I was falling the darkness showed up in front of me. I completely freaked out, it made some inhumane noise that terrified me, it didn't scream or anything like that, but it was an indescribably terrifying sound that shook my body. It was nearly caught up to me and it's appearance also freaked my body out, my mind only comprehended it as a miasma but my body was screaming at me to get far far away from it.

Just as it was about to catch up, I fell into the light and it hissed at me one last time before I opened my eyes again.

I opened my eyes and realized I was drenched in sweat and shaking uncontrollably, I was also very out of breath as I gasped for air, it felt like I was on the verge of passing out from being choked and then I was let go. I sat there leaned against my bed shuddering for what felt like an eternity before someone peeked into my room and I jumped up and spun around to see that it was Altair.

"Ummm, are you alright..." 

"I-I'm fine, there was no need for you to come" I stuttered slightly before answering

"I heard screaming and thought you were in some sort of trouble"

"Sorry for worrying you, but you should go back to the infirmary, you haven't fully adjusted yet" I ordered and she gave me a worried look that said 'I don't believe you' before going.

The real reason I had ordered her to go back was that I didn't want anyone to see me in such a vulnerable state so I walked over to my door and shakily locked it. My body was still on high alert even though my mind had mostly calmed itself. 

Speaking of which, where was that damn Mewtwo and how long had I been out for? He was right next to me before and now he was gone. I couldn't calm down using any normal means so I reached into my closet and pulled out a first aid kit that contained a sedative and injected myself to force my body to calm itself.

"There have been so many inconveniences lately, that I'm starting to feel cursed," I spoke to no one in particular and stood up to check on everyone, I slowly unlocked the door and went into the living room to find it empty, so I went to the training room instead and found that it too was empty. 

"Voltanuc!" I called out both in my mind and IRL but received no answer

"Angel? Ōkami? Princess? Froakie?" I yelled out and I again received no answer which now disturbed me. I reached down for my poke balls and realized my belt wasn't there either which n now had me freaked out. I ran back towards the infirmary and practically tore the door off its hinges to get inside and found that Altair wasn't there either.

"Altair!? Where are you!?" I shouted in panic and kept running around the bunker looking for any signs of a struggle or break-in.

"Why, why, why, is this happening?!?! How is this even happening?!?!" My mind was racing trying to figure out what had happened

That's when I decided to head outside, I haphazardly unlocked the door and ran outside in a rush.

Mature Themes begin now

Only to have the floor collapse under me and I started falling again before waking up again, this time in chains that wrapped under my armpits and hoisted me up, I was just barely touching the ground by the tip of my feet and that was what kept some of the pain off my shoulders.

The room was immaculately white, and horrifyingly so as I tried to get a grip on my surroundings, and then realized where I was. This was one of A.R.C's bases, a room not unlike this one had been used for my torture not long ago.

"Is this real?" Now became the real question that my mind was trying to get an answer to, I could feel the cold air in the room against my naked body, the freezing steel chains under my arms, the soreness of my body. I could only imagine what they would do next when they came back.

"I see you are awake, then let us begin." A buff looking man said as he walked into the room

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked indifferently 

"I am going to ask some questions, and depending on how you answer them, you will either be set free or 'persuaded' until you give the right one" He exaggerated the word persuaded like he was trying to find the right term before turning to face me and asking:

"Where is Voltanuc?" 

"Who knows?" I replied stoically and my neck is jerked back in an awful position but I don't show anything

"I'll ask again. Where is Voltanuc?" 

"..." I just remained defiantly silent and closed my eyes

I can hear another person step in after that and I'm suddenly punched in the head from behind and then from in front by the new person. This goes on for minutes, getting my head punched back and forth doesn't feel particularly nice, and blood seethes into my vision but I remain silent, not giving them an inch as I felt bones crack and break.

"Perhaps we should try a different measure," his voice hints at something dangerous and I hear the new person leave, being replaced by another 2. 

Then suddenly I feel the shock, it courses through the chains and into my body, spreading in all unwelcoming directions, I grit my teeth and my breathing becomes that of a beast ready to hunt. The power then doubles and my body consorts, trying to reflexively break free from the chains.

It stops and I'm left dangling there, being held up by these accursed chains before the man speaks again.

"Feel like cooperating now? It will make your life so much easier!" He announces with a laugh like he's some mad scientist who had found the perfect subject.

I still stay silent, just hanging there, slumped over in what must look like defeat to him. 

"Continue." He orders and the previous pattern of punching comes back except this time they are adding in body shots, my entire body being swung around from every strike. I can feel a rib break and the air being knocked out of me. Then they inject me with something and I feel as good as new, before they return to their routine of punching, kicking, shocking, spitting, etc. This goes on for hours and they wrap a chain around my neck, not enough to choke, but just to threaten. 

They pull on my hair, drop me to the ground, and stomp on my battered ribs, pour freezing water on me before the man steps back in.

"Are you really just going to take this lying down? Well, I suppose some change is in order." He announces and 2 people come in, something is being dragged along the floor, creating a horrible scraping sound.

It clatter next to my body and I feel being hoisted up and then being chained to what I realized was a cold steel chain. My naked body tenses against it out of pure reflex and I wait for what they are going to do.

Turns out, they went straight back to the classics, Waterboarding. The experience was painful and irritating. I could feel my airways constrict and my body struggled against my restraints trying desperately to break free. The sensation of drowning overtook me and my gag reflex came on strong, they kept this up randomly for about 15 minutes before the man asked:

"Let us see where that will of yours takes you next, hehehehehheheh!" He laughed out loud before I could hear sounds of struggling and then I heard a gagged voice pleading

"Don't- it- please" it came out choppily due to the gag that was no doubt placed in her mouth, but I recognized it as Angel's

"Bas-arsd" Came Ōkami and Froakie's broken shouts 

As for Princess, all I could hear were her tiny whimpers and cries 

"Let's begin!" He yelled and I heard something big get pushed in and put behind me before I was grabbed by the neck and injected with that same serum that left me feeling new again before I was thrown into the air and into a tank of freezing water. The tank was capped and filled to the brim, leaving me there to drown in front of my pokemon.

"Don't look at me, keep your eyes on each other," Were some of my last thoughts as I started to blackout. 

Turns out that they couldn't allow that as I electricity suddenly coursed through the water and my mouth involuntarily opened, leading me to start choking really hard as I was dragged out of the tank and given another injection. 

I gasped for air and I could feel my pokemon's small hands roam my body and hug me as if I was their lifeline. How ironic that I thought of them as such as well. 

"If you don't start talking, your allies will get the same treatment." His voice came again and this time I sat upright my mind racing.

I was torn, and slowly opened my eyes to confirm the safety of my pokemon, they were on the verge of tears and clinging to me desperately like a child to its mother. 

"You know what, I'll give you a day to think about it," He states before snapping his fingers and his goons come toward and rip my pokemon away from me, they kick and scream as they go and their voices become echoes in just a few moments.

Then I'm left to sit there as the room temperature keeps dropping, the water on my skin freezes and laches itself on.

I try channeling my aura or the emperor's power, none work, and I sit there frustrated at the fact that I could do nothing before a revelation comes to me.

"huh, I didn't know I had it in me to care but look where that had gotten me, my bonds being used against me" My heart ached at the thought of leaving my pokemon and this time I knew why, but it was for the best, and as for Voltanuc, he got me in this mess and he is going to get me out of it. 

I sit there until the guy comes back in, I was unable to sleep due to the cold constantly nipping at my exposed body but when he came in with my pokemon I was ready.

"I'm ready to give Voltanuc up, I will call him out immediately," I announced without even sparing a look at my pokemon and try to channel Voltanuc, but nothing happened. 

I felt a feeling of dread spread through my body as I tried and tried to get him to unbind himself to me but there was nothing. The man looked on confused before a smile came to his face and he motioned with his hand and a capsule device was brought in along with...

"Altair?" I confusedly mumbled as she was dragged in and thrown to the floor next to some of the chains I was in before and started getting the same treatment I had received while I was shoved into the capsule.

For some reason, after that, I was unable to close my eyes and just watched on as she was beaten and shocked in the same ways. I honestly didn't care about her, she was just a tool I was going to use and her time limit was already quite limited anyway, so the only thing I felt bad about was the fact that such a good tool was going to waste.

So this continued for the next two hours or something like that, she went through the various forms of torture I had been given but the only thing that was added was the sexual humiliation which I assumed was because she was female but they could've added it just to spite me, who knows. 

The sexual humiliation now becomes sexual assault as they forced her into all sorts of positions and toyed with her bleeding, battered, and bruised body. Her vocal cords probably were so torn up and shot that all she could retaliate with were whimpers as they pinned her down and stripped her of whatever little clothing she had left before they looked over in my direction, presumedly at their boss who was behind me and I'm assuming he gave them a nod because they picked up right where they left off.

Out of nowhere, each of them had heated knives in their hands and were drawing them closer to her teasingly, and ever so slowly, it seems that one of them had enough of her tiny voice and gagged her as well. The sudden gag made her body jerk and the men pinned her again before they all simultaneously and very slowly slashed her body with the heated knives. The metal was firey hot from the heat and Altair's eyes gave away everything in her mind. Ranging from 'help me' to 'stop' to 'just let me die'. 

Those eyes were filled with such intense emotions of pain, sorrow, and depression, tears were flowing out of them uncontrollably as the knives kept dragging through her flesh before they finally stopped and the men stepped back to look at their handy work. They had only made small marks for now but there was not a doubt in my mind that they would leave bigger marks later.

They backed off after observing her for a while and just left her limp and scar covered body there before they stepped put and brought 3 new people in.

"Blake, Looker, and Emma, if they think this is going to work then they are even more mistaken, I care for them less than I do for Altair" I just looked on at them and realized that they were already beaten to a pulp.

Emma was giggling uncontrollably as she basically was attached to one of the men's arms before switching between each and giving them smiles, her eyes, however, showed just how much they had broken her. They looked like they were looking into a never-ending tunnel and signaled that she had been broken some time ago. 

Blake was simply on the floor, his body limp and charred, his eyes looked hollow and I could tell he had been broken before Emma, if only slightly before. I realized he must've taken all Emma's punishment but they got to her anyway. Noble, but an idiot.

Looker was close to broken as he watched Emma press her naked body up to these men and sloppily service them with kisses. I could tell her was just made to watch as this went on for hours I presumed and he had tears rolling down his cheeks the entire time. Then a woman stepped in and looked to be comforting Looker, but that was just to get him to break as well.

I looked on just feeling tired because of all the staring I was forced to do, this was the ultimate torture, just making me stare. I chuckled softly before choking slightly because of my bruised lungs. Now that I thought about it, they must not have given them the shots they gave me that were keeping me from being too severely injured. 

Then Blake and Looker were dispatched with haste and Emma was lead away, leaving just me, my pokemon, their dead bodies, and Altair in the room. My eyes were finally allowed to relax and I closed them in relief. 

"So, I see we are going to have to progress even further," The man announces yet again and drags me out of the capsule and to a chair again.

A second later, a searing hot knife comes plunging into my hand and I let out a slight groan at the intense throbbing pain in my hand now. When I open my eyes, Altair is sitting a couple of meters away, still chained to the floor and looking mortified. The man wedges the knife in my hand before dragging slowly through my hand. My internal screams intensify as he slowly cuts through the flesh and bone, dragging it to my wrist before pulling it out and cutting off my hand in one go. 

Blood gushes out and my internal screams become external as I let out a feral cry of pain. Then a white flash happens and my hand is back but still throbs with soreness.

"Good, very good, that was a very good scream, now let me hear more!" He yells and suddenly the knife is replaced with a saw and is cutting through my knee.

I can feel it go back and forth, back and forth, slowly cutting the muscle. The gash increases in size and the pain in intensity as he draws it across my leg again. The continued movement makes it worse and worse, I scream again as blood keeps flowing from the wound and I can feel the saw hit bone and I tense, tears have consciously started flowing little by little as it cuts into the bone and breaks it. At that point my mind has had enough and everything fades to black.

I awake sometime later, my whole body still hurts but it looks like they've healed my knee. I then register that someone is draped over me and I open my eyes to see Altair. I sigh and look around the room, it is still that immaculate white. I look over Altair and my body, both are covered in scars, mine much more than hers's but she still has some. My body is charred in several places and I'm slightly surprised they haven't done anything in regards to my genitalia but I don't give it too much thought and just kind of enjoy this warmth that both our bodies give off before going to sleep.

The next time I wake up, it's to a scream of 'NOOOOOOOO'. I groggily open my eyes to find Altair getting pushed up against the wall by 3 men, all have a lustful look in their eyes and are undressed in front of her ready to assumedly rape her at a moment's notice.

She looks at me desperately and I shrink away, just barely meeting her gaze.

"Don't give me that look, I can't do anything to save you," 

"I'll give you a choice!" The man announces and Altair and me Both look at him.

"Now that I have your attention, you! (he points me) You have a choice, let those horny bastards who are jacked up on all sorts of drugs and aphrodisiacs rape her, or you can do it yourself." 

"This fucking bastard actually thinks I'd do something as outrageous as that, well then he can keep calm and kiss-" 

I was interrupted by Altair's plead for me to do so and I wanted to vehemently refuse but I just couldn't get the words out. Then a sharp needle was stuck into my neck and something injected into my bloodstream.

"You have the next 30 seconds to make your decision." He announced and I sat there thinking before a strangely warm feeling spread throughout my body and my mind started to cloud over.

"What was I doing again? Oh yeah, Altair, I need to ...accept the offer!" 

"Fine!" I shouted out and the men were dragged off her while I tried to process what I had just agreed to.

"Well, old enough to kill and be tortured with indifference but no old enough to have intercourse? Give me a break" most of my mind stated, and there was another small voice but I couldn't hear it.

Altair was dragged in front of me and she looked sort of happy in a way and I smiled back!

My body kept heating up and I felt like I was in a dessert, my mind became even fuzzier and we both started moving towards each other.

"huh? When did they let me go?"

"Why does she look so desperate and happy? Why am I doing this?" 

These questions keep coming to my mind and disappearing as fast as they come and soon we are both locked in a passionate embrace and kiss. The kiss was needy and I could only feel the warmth of hers and the tears that came down her face.

We came apart for some air before going back to it.

Euphoria. Was the only to describe it, a flame spread through my cheeks and into my body, my body got hotter than before and our hands roamed each other's body with lust. 

Altair leaned forward and pressed her head against mine, and spoke softly in whispers filled with absolute lust.

"Shiro..." she spoke sensually into my ear and I involuntarily shuddered at her voice, I didn't remember giving her my name but I could care less at this point

We pressed our lips together again and I gently sucked and nipped at her bottom lip and the sounds that she and were like fine music to me, I drank it all up and continued my ministrations. We smiled at each other's panting, a signal that we were enjoying this but needed more.

Our hands started to get quite adventurous and we kissed again while I grabbed her breasts quite roughly and she moaned into the kiss. I started groping her breasts softer and we parted for air again and I moved my tongue to one of her nipples gently sucking on it and occasionally biting it. Her back arched in pleasure and moans came out more frequently and shakily as I continued, switching breasts. 

Her hands were digging into my skull and grabbing fistfuls of my hair as he brought me closer to her body. Her hands suddenly grabbed my manhood and I stiffened a bit before she started rubbing it and it felt like absolute heaven, my genitalia was definitely way more sensitive and every teasing touch of her's sent me nuts.

After finishing her breasts I groped her ass eliciting a breathy and surprised moan at my action, I even gave it a slap before moving onto her flower and giving it a lick. Her moans intensified and she wasn't even trying to hide her pleasure at this point and her stroking was faster as well. 

I pushed her to the floor and we got in a 69 position so it was easier for us, she licked the tip of my manhood and it sent shivers down my spine. Her wet tongue on my manhood felt divine as she licked it like an ice cream cone. I was getting lost in all the pleasure I was receiving but quickly went back to my previous actions.

I spread her flower so I could get better access with my tongue and prodded at her clit with my finger which made her moan even harder and this time it was on my manhood which somehow made it even more erotic.

I sped up my licking and she moved on to taking half of my manhood into her mouth, which made me stop and groan in pleasure. She started to move up and down on my manhood and it felt so damn good, her wet and tight mouth sucking me off was unlike anything I had ever experienced. 

This time I inserted a single finger into her quite suddenly and she let out a huge moan around my manhood which only served to increase the pleasure I was already feeling. We both sped up each other's ministrations and before long, I let a long groan before releasing into her mouth and she let out a cute moan before squirting out her own fluids.

After that, everything became really fuzzy, all I could hear were muted moans and the back and forth movement of my body in some way, I had a throbbing headache but there was also a pleasant feeling in my body and soon I blacked out.

When I awoke again, I was strapped to the cold steel chair again and my head was still spinning while my ears were ringing as well. I slowly opened my eyes to see Altair a few meters away getting raped by about 5 men at once, the scene lasted for what seemed like an eternity and I just couldn't look away or close my eyes, like some invisible force was preventing from doing so. Her eyes met mine and her lips curled to barely form a smile before going back to that pained and teary-eyed expression. 

After they were finished with her, all of them went to a nearby table and grabbed Tommy guns and opening fire, not stopping until all their magazines were empty. Her body was riddled with holes and looked like it could split into a billion pieces at any moment, despite that she still managed to mouth some last words that hit me like a truck.

"Thank You..." 

At first, I thought I read it wrong, but I looked back on the scene over and over before I realized that was what she had truly said at that moment. I failed to comprehend why she would say something like that, I had caused her all that trouble and pain, yet in her final moments, she chose to thank me? It was something truly not understandable.

I heard struggling behind me and I snapped to look at my pokemon being dragged to where Altair's body was. 

"No...." I mumbled as I look on, tears were now streaming down my face and my heart ached like never before, a rage spread inside of me as Is struggled and struggled against my restraints to no avail. I felt like I was going to burst as I heard the guns being reloaded, the previous magazines dropped to the floor and new ones put in the Tommy Guns. 

Everything Hurt. Breathing, looking, moving slightly, it all ached with an indescribable pain that just kept getting bigger and bigger. Time slowed down and the guns started to fire, the pain on their faces they were brutally massacred in front of my eyes broke me on the inside. 

I could see every bullet tear through their small and fragile bodies, every drop of blood, every cry of pain, every tear that fell, it all felt excruciatingly obvious as I watched on.

Time sped up again and their corpses lay there, riddled with holes and lifeless.

I screamed. I yelled. Hell I even prayed out loud in between. Nothing was going to bring them back, Ōkami, Angel, Princess, Frogadier, Altair, none of them were coming back, ever.

I didn't know how much I cried, or long I did it for, but I slowly drifted back into Darkness.

I put my heart and soul into making this chapter for you all, it's been a rough couple of days, and I promised you a good chapter did I not? Well, I hope you enjoyed this one thoroughly, it's 5500 words! Can you believe that! It's gone through 3-4 complete rewrites to get this far! Well, until next time, Ja ne!
