There will be some minor cursing in this chapter. But it's only Silver, so...

The Dexters met the following week. It was weird without Sun. They didn't notice until roll call.

"Kanto."

"Here."

"Johto?"

"Silver went missing." A smack followed. Yellow sighed.

"Hoenn?"

"Naturally."

"Sinnoh?"

"Here."

"Unova?"

"Here........."

"Kalos?"

"Here."

"Alola?"

"Here..."

"Where's Sun?"

Of course Red would notice his brother missing. The group fell silent until Moon spoke.

"Just... go on." Yellow locked eyes with Red before sighing.

"Torren?"

"Purple went missing." A smack followed with some bickering.

"Holon?"

"Absolutely! All here!" Everyone looked at Cream, who looked like she killed someone. The other two had their heads down and had fear written across their faces.

"How are you so cheerful?" Green grumbled, receiving a glare.

"And what did you do to your team?" Cream's smile somehow got bigger like she just saw chocolate.

"These two are perfectly capable of answering those." The two moved their chairs back and looked at her in sheer fear. Whatever happened was enough to keep them quiet. Gold gulped.

"Moving on." They went right into the meeting. Of course, at the end they hit an argument. But unlike last time, Moon was the one to end it. It was amazing for such a quiet, serious, good mannered blade like herself.

"ENOUGH!" The whole room was silenced. They looked at Cream, who was getting ready to stand up. She blinked as her eyes drifted over to Moon, whose head was down and silent tears ran down her cheek. The other three gulped. Ultra finally spoke.

"Let's go home. We're all tired after that." He whispered something to Moon as Alola packed up and left. The other's practically followed, questions circling. Moon wiped her face as they left the building. Red appeared beside her, putting sheer fear in the others.

"What happened?" She looked away. Despite Red being her senior, her mind was way too clouded.

"Leave me alone Red." He frowned before getting in front of the group.

"Not until I-" She stopped him there.

"Go away!" She bolted past him with Ultra cursing under his breath and running after her. Red just turned and stared at the scene. The other two ran past him and caught up before the group took off. The other Dexters joined him as the group disappeared into the clouds. Pink whistled lightly.

"And I thought Taen had a temper." Purple restrained himself from saying something else. After that outcome, who would want to?

!~O~!

Gold had finally gotten a break. Silver was sick and Crystal was busy at the school. He made sure to drop by Silver's house to see how he was. He saw Giovanni at the door, knowing that Silver was either asleep or ignoring the door. He went over to the former leader and was about to speak when a loud sneeze cut through the air. Gold called "Bless you." getting nothing back.

"Was he asleep or is he messing with us?" Giovanni laughed before knocking.

"Let's go find out." The door opened to an extremely dead-looking Silver. He looked like he was a corpse that just woke up.

"What the fuck do you want?" Gold kept his mouth shut as he decided whether or not to make the bad joke. Silver caught him though. "Whatever smart remark you have, say it."

"Dude, you look like a corpse that just woke up." Silver rubbed his face.

"Really?" Gold sighed. Silver was out of fight now, but it won't be fun later. Silver forgot what he was doing and went back over to the couch. Giovanni glanced at Gold.

"You going in?"

"No... I have to save some of my sanity for later. Why lose it now?"

"What do you mean?" Gold sighed.

"Something's happening and the Dexters are tearing apart. Arguments are as far as we've gotten. But it'll get worse." Giovanni sighed.

"Well... have fun." The two split from there. Gold went and passed the school. Crystal looked relaxed. His mind drifted as he went to the game corner. What was tearing them apart? He went in and went over to the pool tables. There was only one guy there, trying to get a shot. He had a glass of water beside him. He took a shot and the 8.

"Darn it..." Gold laughed slightly.

"Man, I thought I've seen some bad luck." The guy scoffed.

"You try. That darn 8 has been laughing at me for the past hour. After it got there, it moved once." Gold gazed over the table before pulling out his pool stick.

"We'll see how I do. I haven't been having much luck lately for anything." He went over and aimed. Either his aim was off or he moved, it almost curved around the 8. The guy whistled lightly.

"You weren't kidding..." Gold hummed.

"Neither were you." He held his hand out. "Gold."

"John." The duo shook hands as someone else walked in. "What hell did your life put you through?"

"Two Dexters that are like warring twisters." John hummed.

"I haven't even said mine and yours is deeper." Gold scoffed. "I've been doing nonstop sewer cleaning for the past week."

"And you say mine's worse?" The two boys laughed before a voice appeared.

"Lookie here..." They turned to see Cream walking over. Gold frowned.

"Don't you have a region to watch over for arguments?" A small screen appeared in front of her briefly before vanishing.

"Nope." She eyed the table. "How's uh..."

"Bad luck..." The duo sighed. She pulled something out of her bag and glanced over the shot. With a flick of her wrist, a pool stick was in her hand and she took her shot. She hit the 8 and it hit a couple others. They all went into holes. She twirled the stick before putting the tip in John's face.

"Sky cultist." He froze. "I was trying to figure out why you seemed familiar. By the way, Purple says hi." John huffed before grabbing his glass and walking away. She sighed. "Silence is better than him."

"You knew him?"

"Sorta. Purple knows him better." She looked at the senior. "And no. Purple didn't say hi. He knows that." Gold frowned.

"Then why say that?"

"People from Torren are very easy to manipulate. Not only that, but I knew he would get mad and leave." Gold hummed.

"Alright... what are you here for?" She smiled as she brought the screen back up. She tapped a few things before turning it to him. It showed different charts.

"This is all of the arguments' statuses." She swiped the screen and a 3D map of the world and a clock appeared. "This shows all of the locations of the arguments and their time areas." She swiped again and it showed something else. Some kind of aura. Or auras. "And this is the auras of all of the Dexters and the status of them. Almost all of them have a similar theme. Some kind of red/purple twister in the middle." He gulped as he looked it over.

"Wait... you've been monitoring the fights?" She nodded grimly. He paused before smiling. "This is our chance to get them back. We just need a source." Her eyes sparkled at that.

"How about a game? Just so that your mind's at ease." He smirked as they reset the table.
