"Sir! The intruders are advancing!" My second in command informed me a small amount of false confidence held in his voice.

I frowned, no this can not be happening. I swept my hand along my desk in front of me, wiping everything from the top out of anger. My second in command jumped backed, watching me with unsure of now else I'd react. I turned my back to him to look at my wall of monitors behind my. I focused on one in particular, I looked at the monitor of the girl. The Voice of Purity had collapsed at least an hour ago. Her breathing had become more intense and she was struggling in her unconsciousness.

This was not good. She wasn't expected to put up such a fight against the darkness we were placing into her soul. She was meant to be broken from a mixture of pain, fear and containment. How can she still be putting up such a fight all on her own?

My second in command followed my gaze to the monitor.

"She can't hold out forever. The darkness will advance into her heart." He informed me.

"And if it doesn't?" I said threateningly.

"But it will. Our scans show her spirt is weakening. She will give in... eventually." He said more confidently.

I wasn't so sure and for the first time in forever... I doubted my plan would work.

>Silver's Pov<

"Raikou, Thunder!"

The legendary beast obeyed me using the powerful electric type attack I'd commanded it to, knocking out several of the opponents Pokemon this had been going on for at least an hour and we were half way down this seemingly endless hallway.

But we had to move faster according to what Red had heard and briefly explained they were planing on doing something to change Emma's heart that would turn her against herself... And against us.

There was a light tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Blade holding still holding an unconscious and limp Melody.

~Take care of her. I need to help with this, Emma is my trainer.~

I took the limp Pokemon from Blade's arms. He then ran into the battle, quickly slamming a Close Combat into a nearby Houndoom. Melody seemed to be getting weaker by the minute. Her eyes were squeezed shut and was breathing heavily as she struggled to breath the stale air.

We had tried every thing to make her well again. Max revives, Full restore, revival herbs even Yellows healing power. But none of it had worked.

It was almost as if her weakness had been drawn on by another, and the only other option would be Emma. As if she was drawing in her trainers weakness to make Emma stronger.

Melody groaned in my arms, her face scrunched up slightly. I looked down at her, knowing inwardly that her condition had something to do with Emma.

Could this mean that Emma was loosing whatever battle she was facing? Was she gone? Was she even still alive?

We had no idea. We had no idea what was even happening to Emma and how she was fairing in whatever battle she was facing at this moment in time. I hadn't seen her in weeks now and the only slight reassurance I had was how Res had said that Emma wasn't hurt when he last saw her. But who knows why she could be going through right now.

I shook the thoughts out of my head. No, we couldn't give up. We will save her... Right?

Hold on Emma. We are fighting our fight on this end, you just need to fight yours a little longer.

You are not alone!

I willed the message to Emma hoping she could hear.

How cliché right?

Who comes up with this stuff?

>Emma's Pov<

"Oh... Hurry up already. Can't you see? you've already lost." My opposite continued to taunt. Her arms crossed in a disapproving manor at my will to fight against the closing darkness.

"No! I will not give in!" I shouted back.

Her manic laugh filled my head. I groaned in pain as the laugh drilled into my head. I balled my hands into fists still on the ground.

"You're not doing anything~. Not even buying time. All your doing is wasting it. Your heart and mind are already infected with the darkness. All you have to do is give in to it and except that it's who you are now."

"I won't! I will never become you! I choose my own destiny and I will never let you control me! I will never let myself be the cause of others suffering and if that means I have to make myself suffer, so be it!" Tears rolling down my face and splashing on the floor in front of me before disappearing into nothingness.

"Don't you see Emma? By letting yourself suffer your friends are suffering."

She flicked her wrist and a vision entered my mind.

Silver was holding Melody who was pain. All my Pokemon taking constant hits battling to get to me.

I shook my head trying to get the vision out of my head. I was scared of what I saw, scared of the pain my Pokemon were enduring for me.

I heard a voice. Not the freaky/crazy voice that I've been putting up with for the last hour. It was a soothing calm voice... Silver's voice that seemed to clam my nerves.

Hold on Emma. We are fighting our fight on this end. You just need to fight yours a little longer.

You are not alone!

"I am not alone." I repeated quietly, pushing away the pain to somewhere deep inside me, where it didn't seem to hurt quite as much.

"Yes you are. Look around you. There is nothing but darkness. Your heart and mind are already corrupted with it. All you need to do was give in to it."

A sudden wave seemed to swarm around me, I could feel my spirt weaken. This couldn't go on for much longer. But I just had to hold on for as long as I could.

"Silver, please hurry." I whimpered in low whisper. I knew there was only so long I could hold on and if someone didn't come soon then... I'd loose this.

And if I lost this fight, I'd loose everything I had to fight for.

>Shadow's Pov<

"Increase the intensity of the pulse! If her friends get to her before she breaks, all of our progress will be lost."

"Yes sir." The scientists replied turning up the intensity of the machine. I was gripping the edge of my empty desk so hard my knuckles were turning white.

We were walking on eggshells every step had to be taken properly and precisely. We must make every second count.
