Electra S.'s Story

Suzaku

In the training rooms of Hi, people from outside, watched a bolt of flame race towards a well known flame trainer. The villagers princess was training, and it was quiet the sight to see. It reassured those who watched them, that they were in good hands. Strong hands. "Suzaku...why don't we take a break?" Kaze, a blaziken and trainer, asked calmly, eying her flared body [Flare Blitz] in worry. "We've been training for quiet a bit" The female arcanine wiped her forehead, and gave a grin despite her tattered state. "You're just worried that I'll beat you~ You little fried chicken" Kaze mocked a glare as Suzaku pressed on with the teasing, only to stop at the sound of a light cough. "Ahem.." Turning her attention towards the door, she spotted Lug, who she knew so well. Her father's adviser.
"Is there anything you need..?" Kaze asked, and Suzaku nodded in curiosity, worried if anything happened to her father and hoped for good news.
Lug bowed a bit towards the princess, and nodded in respect towards the flaming trainer. "You're father has requested your presence Suzaku." At this, her eyes flared with joy, and she couldn't restrain a smile. Glancing towards Kaze, she stuck out her tongue. "You're lucky. Fried Chicken" And with that, she quickly and swiftly left the room, leaving Lug and Kaze alone. The two males exchanged amused glances, before saying their goodbyes. The heatmor ran out of the room. "Please slow down Princess." Lug panted, trying to catch up to her speed. Though Suzaku didn't heed to the request, she missed her father too much, and wished to see him more then anything.
"I don't think you should see him like that." She stopped subtly, and looked down at herself. Her skin was dusted with ash, and her training clothes were ripped and tattered. Don't even mention the hair. "You think so Lug..?" Suzaku asked, worriedly, wondering what her father would think. Would he really care? The heatmor nodded while catching his breath. "Maybe you're right...Um where is father right now?"
"In his chambers."
Suzaku began to think for a second and nodded. "Well you may leave me now, Ill go to my father's room after I change." Lug nodded, and bowed down in response, before leaving her to be.
Watching his back disappear, she raced towards her room, dodging the servants and maids. 'What to wear, what to wear!' The arcanine panicked, scanning her large dresser. She didnt want to look like a mess in her father's presence, but at the same time, she really didn't like formal clothing.. "I guess this one will do." Picking out an outfit, she slipped it on, and saw that it was a dress. The ends reached her knees, and the material was simple and thin. The color theme was like a fire blazing, and it didn't look too bad. Nodding in satisfaction, she again raced out of the room, and slowed down near her fathers. Dusting off any ash, and soothing down her hair, she exhaled, and began to open the door slowly. "Father..?" She whispered, and entered the room. In that second, she spotted her fathers familar face, asleep on his bed, his face calm and undisturbed. A soft smile graced her lips, as she observed her father in his peaceful state. ITs been awhile since she seen him, and it was the first in awhile to see him asleep. Looking closely, she saw distinguishing signs of stress, and she frowned. "Oh father...you never sleep do you.." She sighed, and sat on the bed. Deciding not to wake him up, she laid down next to him, staring up at the ceiling. 'I guess i'll wait..'

Electra

In the crowded guild, one was seen unmoving. Electra, the jolteon, rested against a long wooden pole which held the guild's roofs up. Her hood casted a shadow over her closed eyes, as she, supposedly, slept. Though with ease, she noticed the noise level increase. Peering up, her bright yellow eyes shot through the shadows of her hood, and began to scan the crowd. There was the source. Her guild master. She has returned. A little smile casted away on her lips, as she watched the master leave. Members around her all laughed in joy, telling of the many tales of Koya. How she saved many, and how generous she was. Which was all true. Kicking off the pole, Electra let her hood fall, revealing her face. Gold, bristling hair that seem to hurt to touch and bright golden eyes that caught anyone attention, that was her. Maneuvering through the crowd, she watched the 2nd leader enter the office. 'Must be something important.' Electra tilted her head, watching the door close in a deftly shut.

Antheia

In the great, and broad forest of Kuza, it was silent, excluding the sound of the wind. Shadows from the clouds over casted the trees, showing a sign of great disturbance. The cherrubis disappeared under their leaves, while other pokemon left to find their homes and children. It was all quiet. The trees shifted eerily, while the sun was limited to its shine in the dark forest, only small patches of light were seen on the ground. This was the first sign and everyone knew it. The sign of war.
Immediately after the villagers went off, a sudden charge of pokemon jumped through the large branches, and some lopped across the grass, leaving the lightest of sounds. Some of them stopped near a gate, nodding towards some breloom who stood guard. "Who are you and what is your business here.." One asked, eying the hooded figures suspiciously while another pointed his spear as a threat. Quietly, one stepped forward, and pulled down her hood, causing eyes to widen. The queen. The two guards hastily bowed. "I apologize Queen Antheia!" The queen shook her head, and smiled lightly. "Its alright, you were only doing your job, but if we may enter, me and these patrollers all have business to get done." The two nodded, stepping aside quickly, allowing all to race inside to attend to their jobs. Leaving Antheia with the guards. "There are more of are patrollers coming so please allow them in."
"Of course."
Nodding, Antheia disappeared from her spot in a flicker, before appearing near her chambers. Her speed is what she was known for, as well as her grace and finesse. "As expected, your speed is still in tip-top shape.."
Antheia remained unfazed, and she merely spoke calmly, glancing at a shadowed corner near her windows. "What are you doing in my chambers Rafe..?" She smiled calmly, watching a roserade, her soilder's trainer and adviser, step out of the darkness, a mask adorning his face. "Just to check on you, news of your arrival has spread like a wild fire."
"I see.." It suddenly went quiet, but Rafe took it to break the silence. "Did you find anything during the patrol?"
Antheia sighed, and shook her head. "No, the boundaries have been left alone, but I'm afraid war is really coming upon us..." The roserade nodded quietly, clearly worried of this predicament. "What has the other kingdoms says about this..?" The queen bit her lip in frustration. "Nothing, we are in too much of mess to communicate without breaking out in a fight." "The guild..?"
She remained silent, and simply dropped in her chair, hoping to relax for once. It was Rafe's turn to say 'I see' before turning away to do this job. "Wait."
The roserade stopped immediately. "Yes?"
"Where is my son..?"
"Im not sure...why?"
"..I want to see him, if you see him, please ask him to see me."
"Of course." And with that, Rafe left her alone, in her dark chambers. She noticed this little change, and looked around. The windows provided no real light, seeing how it was outside, and usually the sun was their only light.. This defiantly gloomed her mood a bit. Everything in Kuza was usually so bright.. the sun warming their homes and the trees swinging in a welcoming dance. But today, the sun seem to hide from war, and the trees seem angered.
Feeling some sun light from the small round skylight abover her flicker upon her face, she closed her eyes, and relaxed on the chair in the dark room.

"Hello, hello." he said taking a seat. "So, how are we gonna do this. The only strategy I can think of is I go to HI since I know it best. Koya you could go to Doku and the rest could go to MIzu." he said smugly. "But were not doing any of that are we?"

Koya laughed at her partner in crime. "Arceus no! That's too predictable." She leaned back in her throne chair and began throwing darts at the large map, hitting the three kingdoms with her red and electric blue darts. "I'm going in. Scopin' everything out... Seeing as we're still mostly known in Doku, we have so much wiggle room, it's crazy! So I'll be taking Electra and Atrum with me, seeing as I can't do much in Mizu and I'll need back up in Hi. We'll stay posted with the guild." She grinned and crossed her legs.

Als looked at the guildmaster with worry. "That would mean you're leaving me and Astron in charge..." Koya looked at the girl and nodded. Just then a Pichu ran into the room, grinning.

"Miss Koya! I did my first mission! All by myself!" Koya walked over to the child and scooped him into her arms. The small electric Pokemon gasped before she broke out into giggles.

"Of course, you two. Now, you, my little explorer. I need you to find Atrum the Umbreon and Electra the Jolteon. Think you can handle it?" The child nodded, hopping down and running off to find the two Eeveelutions that her guildmaster needed. Koya stayed facing the door, her hands on her hips."Besides, Astron understands how the guild works and you, Als dearest, can keep that moron in line with Krory."

Suzaku

Suzaku watched time fly by, as memories flashed through her eyes. Some made her smile and some made her stifle a giggle. Like the time her father try to impress her with fire only to burn down her bed room...and they tried to calm it down only for the fire to spread to the next room- 'ah..What good memories...' She smiled to herself, but quickly focused on a light groan. Turning her head, she noticed her father shifting awake from his dreams or maybe nightmare. Though even so, he was waking to reality. Anywho IT was rather amusing watching him look around and finally noticing her, his expressions obviously showing his embarrassment. She knew her father too well.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened me, How long I was asleep?"
"Not long." Suzaku lied. It actually been an hour or so..but she didnt want to make her father feel bad. "And its alright, you're tired thats all..." Sitting up, she observed her father's state, noting every burn and cut on his body. 'I'll have to get some healers..' She told herself, before turning her attention back at Garuda. Remaining quiet, something snapped within her, and she felt a bit different. Her eyes felt moist, and she almost felt her lips quiver. and Suddenly, her body acted on its own, and tackled her father in a huge hug. "I missed you..." Suzaku murmured, trying to be light against his wound, but was too pleased with her fathers forgotten warmth. "Why does a war have to start.." She whispered as if it was a whine, and she immediately regretted it as it slipped through her lips. Suzaku was trying to be an adult, but at times she forgets about maturity and has her whining moments.

Electra

Watching the crowd, she felt dazed and unfocused, until a little pat on her back awoke her.
Electra blinked a bit, and looked over her shoulder to find the source. The pichu member. She smiled a bit, and turned around, before kneeling in front of him. "Yes?" She asked kindly, her signature cool smile gracing her lips.
The pichu giggled, and jumped a bit. "Ms.Koya has arrived and gave me a mission to find you Electra!" The jolteon smiled inwardly at her leader's ways with kids, before nodding acting as if the mission was a great importance. "Oh I see~ Well arent you a brave one." She stood up, and patted the child on the head. "Thank you for telling me this~" Placing a finger on the child's cheek, she sent a little jolt of lightening, causing his hair to spike up. The pichu jumped in shock before giggling happily at the recharge. "hehe bye Electra~!" Then within seconds, the child ran off in bundles of energy which jolteon gave. Her shocks are known to have 100,000 watts, so of course the pichu will probably be more energized then ever. Chuckling a bit, she head toward the office, noticing the umbreon entering as well. The other Eeveelutions. Quickening her steps, she stood next to Atrum, hearing his question.
"Yes What can we do for you leader?"

Antheia

Antheia opened her eyes slightly, as she felt a new presence in the room. It took awhile to notice, as the steps were light and deaf.
Hopefully, This must be one of her soldiers or maybe her knight, and if so, she was pleased with the results of training. Looking downward, she noticed the one kneeling immediately. Her knight, Kaleesh.
A kind and happy smile graced her lips, as she observed the Ninjask. "Your majesty, forgive my intrusion but I have urgent matters to discuss."
Antheia studied his way of speaking, and his posture with great care, noticing the obvious amount of respect that was given to her. This made her feel happy, and her eyes gleamed with satfication, but as she thought so, she allowed her ears to open to listen to her great knight.
"Its far Alright Knight, what is it that you need to discuss..?"
"As Rafe has no doubt already informed you, a guild has risen up in the former kingdom of Doku. I do not know what numbers their ranks hold or the purpose of their organization, but the sparse information I have collected suggests that they plan to involve themselves some way in the approaching conflict. As you know, I was born in Doku. I know there exist many honorable Pokemon who would never harm our kingdom, but I have also seen the darker side of its people, Pokemon with no honor who gain joy from preying on the innocent. To protect our people, I humbly request to journey to Doku and uncover what information I can on this guild and their ambitions. I will move swiftly and silently, harm no one, and return in a few days time with my discoveries."
As she listened to his request, her pleased eyes filed with two other emotions. Pride and Worry. The thought of a knight, sacrificing himself for his kingdom and yet vowed to harm no one during a war, made her heart flutter with happiness and respect. Though at the same time, she was worried, has he have nothing else to ask for? Clearing her throat, she allowed her smile to soften greatly. "I, Antheia, grant you permission to go to Doku and collect as much information as you can... I shall suit you up with necessary supplies for this journey.." She exhaled and continued. "Though if you have any other request to ask for, please do tell.." She shifted on her chair a bit, and gave this whole idea a thought. Should she follow this quest? The other kingdoms, and defiantly the guild, should know her appearance within seconds of seeing her.. So that was defiantly a no-no. Maybe her son should attend this... to learn to survive in the outside world..
[Sorry its really choppy, i had to type this 2 times over >.< stupid computar D:<]

Koya laughed at Atrum and shook her head. "I'm just another guild member, Atrum. Just the same as you and the others who are out there..." She responded, her usual retort to praise, titles or anything of the sort. She didn't hate it, she actually liked it. but the others did more than she did. She didn't truly deserve it. "But enough about that." She said, messing with the closest dart on the wall, the one pointing to Kusa. "You and I, Atrum, will be heading through the kingdoms, more sightseeing and scouting than anything else. Electra, you my dear, will be tending to the training and overseeing the guild building while Astron and Als begin to rebuild the castle of Doku and the surrounding areas with the rest of the guild." She turned to the others, the dart now in her hand.

"Then, when we, the lowly guild of Fumei, the unlikely underdogs, have stopped the worst war in history, we can properly rule, bringing our once fertile and rich lands back to its full potential!" She exclaimed, her eyes passionate, the emotion making her already electric blue shine and glow. But they also, deep in their depths, promised unimaginable pain for those who wanted to stop her. "We can care for the orphans, who lost parents in the small skirmishes that have already started... Doku will become a sancuary for those who do not wish to fight, a safe haven. That is what we were... And that is what we will return to." She muttered softly, looking down at the similarly colored dart. She gripped it in one hand and looked at all of her most trusted advisers, friends and even family.

Als shook her head fondly at her guildmaster. She too understood the want, no the need, to return their lands, after the other three kingdoms tore it down as they did. Krory's mouth was grinning, signifying that Als was pleased, happy, maybe even excited. She would be in battle with the neon angel of Doku, her most beloved guildmaster. And Astron, the desert spirit, the protector of the dunes. The fact that two very powerful Pokemon wanted her as their third in command always made her proud and stressed. She had to be the best to keep up with them, even when Koya told her she didn't have to be. She wanted to prove her worth, no matter what. "Of course, guildmaster. Krory and I are behind you 100%." She bowed lightly while Krory began to happy dance.

"Besides, Astron understands how the guild works and you, Als dearest, can keep that moron in line with Krory." Astron rolled his eyes. "Moron, I find your insults bland and over used dear Koya." he said with a cocky smirk. He was much more talk than anything and he was the kind of guy who didn't think of much anything too seriously, but when he did you had to look out. "You and I, Atrum, will be heading through the kingdoms, more sightseeing and scouting than anything else. Electra, you my dear, will be tending to the training and overseeing the guild building while Astron and Als begin to rebuild the castle of Doku and the surrounding areas with the rest of the guild. "Yippee I get to rebuild a castle." he said with immense sarcasm as he felt back into his chair. "Exactly how are we gonna do it we'd need some pretty sturdy bricks and a team, not two people and a demon, no offense. " he said somewhat afraid of Krory.

He believed just as strong in Koya's dream almost as much as she did but he thought more of what would actually happen. He knew that it would be harder than she thought to take down three armies and end a war but they might be able to pull it off if they could act correctly. Koya was doing the right thing now but for the time being she was taking Atrum which he would never do but it was a good move. The boy was a strange one defiantly and Astron thought of him as slightly suicidal. No one knew where he came from but he knew that he was more of a guardian than a fighter making him somewhat of a tank and considering that maybe Koya expected them to be attacked so that he could take the hits without much harm.

That was a heartbreaking moment, been a few days since he saw his daughter or spent time alone with her so he also missed her. Garuda couldn't help but feel the weight of war once again as he hugged his daughter and thought about the many children who would ask exactly the same question to their parents: "Why does a war have to start..", no matter how many reasons he could think nothing was worth the amount of lives that would be lost in the fray of the Three Kingdoms, the world will never be the same no matter who wins, Garuda knew perfectly well his own destructive force so he was sure that a direct confrontation with another ruler will change forever the landscape.

"Forgive me, is partly my fault" he answered truthfully caressing the hair of Suzaku "It seems that this world is ruled by fools, I'm seeking answers, the old man of Mizu want prisoners and the woman of Kusa refuses to hand both things, in the end we were unable to reach an agreement", the main conflict was between Mizo and Hi, Garuda completely rejected even think about the possibility of sending his people and the elderly seemed to distrust the Fire King when he offered to personally investigate the allegations of the Palkia.

"Now all I can do is defend my people and especially you," the towns and villages near the border were evacuated and moved near Mount Groudon and a few of the fastest border patrols watched the for changes and the troops awaited inland the infantry of Hi was particularly powerful thanks to the Spartan training of the Commander Dosi, a Rhyperior who earned his name and position in the Time of Garuda's father, "I will not let anything happen to you" the King repeated softly.





Electra the Jolteon entered slightly later than Atrum to the office, apparently she had also been called by Koya, Atrum had an affinity with her although most likely that has to do with the fact that both were the same pokemon in the past.
"You and I, Atrum, will be heading through the kingdoms, more sightseeing and scouting than anything else. Electra, you my dear, will be tending to the training and overseeing the guild building while Astron and Als begin to rebuild the castle of Doku and the surrounding areas with the rest of the guild."

Those were the orders, Atrum was honored for the trust the leader put in him the by request to accompany her directly into enemy territory in a period of a senseless war, Atrum hated everything that had to do with violence that's why he was so fascinated to hear the ideals proclaimed by Koya, she was a very important existence right now and the mission of the Umbreon was to ensure that nothing happens no matter the price.

"I'm ready to go" Atrum said quietly, it would be safer for the leader go first to Kusa but one could never be sure with Koya so Atrum had to mentally prepare for any possible scenario.

"Yippee I get to rebuild a castle." "Exactly how are we gonna do it we'd need some pretty sturdy bricks and a team, not two people and a demon, no offense. "

He could not help but notice the sarcastic tone of the second in command, "Astron, I believe that the leader left in your charge to all guild members so you will not have trouble finding labor to help with the reconstruction"

"No, your majesty," he replied. "I could not dream of asking you for any more than you have so graciously granted." As the Ninjask stood, a mournful sigh escaped his lips. "To tell you the truth, your majesty, I also seek this mission for personal reasons. Though it was a hard childhood, Doku was my home. In my heart I would love to see it rebuilt, to be led by noble Pokemon seeking the common good of others. Yet, I cannot simply assume that this guild will be such a leader to Doku. I must know if it intends for good or ill, and make sure it is stopped if it truly seeks to gain fortune off of conflict." Her green orbs blinked slowly, as she took this in. She always knew this..or had an idea that this mission had something more personal behind it... though she never guess that Kaleesh would be so open about it. Honestly, it made her feel happy, warm, and felt like a good queen. Her knights seem to trust her.
I apologize, my Queen. I did not mean to trouble you with my past." She smiles. "Its alright...I'm glad that you're so open to me.."
Antheia watched him go but noticed Kaleesh stop, and she assumed he knew that she was about to say something. 'Observant..' She nodded, and was pleased to hear her son's voice calling for her. "Mom?! Where are you?"
"Here my son.." She called back, and smiled at Kaleesh. A soft glint shown in her eyes, and she spoke in a soft voice. "Kaleesh, please do a favor for me...and take my son with you to Doku." She looked at her nearby book case, as if she was trying to distract herself. "I want him to experience things... and if I wait, it may get too dangerous for him to leave... and if something..bad happens to me, I may not be able to let him experience things before he becomes the heir and experiences the burden of the crown." She stood up from the chair, and stepped near the knight. "If you accept this favor, protect Keita..and teach him?" She always worried for her son, seeing how he always stayed in the sun and not play around as a kid should. IT may be something he enjoys to do, but she can't help but worry. "But.. I'll have to talk to him first.. so Kaleesh go visit Rafe in the armory and he should have the necessary supplies to give you. Just tell him that your going to Doku. He'll understand"

"I'm just another guild member, Atrum. Just the same as you and the others who are out there..." She responded, her usual retort to praise, titles or anything of the sort. She didn't hate it, she actually liked it. but the others did more than she did. She didn't truly deserve it. "But enough about that." She said, messing with the closest dart on the wall, the one pointing to Kusa. "You and I, Atrum, will be heading through the kingdoms, more sightseeing and scouting than anything else. Electra, you my dear, will be tending to the training and overseeing the guild building while Astron and Als begin to rebuild the castle of Doku and the surrounding areas with the rest of the guild." She turned to the others, the dart now in her hand. She nodded slowly, pleased at the job. Something she enjoyed to do, train. "It'll be my pleasure too Koya." She replied slowly, making sure to use "Koya" instead of "Leader" But as she said that, she decided to stay quiet. She wasent the one to talk, no she rarely talked at all. So instead she listened to the conversations, her ears twitching at any word that caught..her ears. "I wish you luck Koya, Atrum." Electra nodded towards the both of them, genuinely hoping for their safety.
-

Suzaku felt her father's arms wrap around her in a warm embrace, which fufilled many of her desires... Oh how she missed the feeling. Her aching muscles stopped pulsing and seemed to heal against the heat of Garuda.

"Forgive me, is partly my fault" Her hair was then gently caressed by her father, the flaming red and orange locks slipping between his fingers. Though dispite this wonderful feeling, she listened in closing, knowing what her father was going to say.. "It seems that this world is ruled by fools, I'm seeking answers, the old man of Mizu want prisoners and the woman of Kusa refuses to hand both things, in the end we were unable to reach an agreement", Suzaku nodded silently in response against her fathers chest, as she took in his ashy yet comforting scent. Her mind was at ease, no thoughts of training, and the tightness of her mind just vanished... His next words made her smile softly.

"Now all I can do is defend my people and especially you,""I will not let anything happen to you" the King repeated softly.

"I know that father.." She pulled her head back a bit, and looked up at him, her eyes twinking with genuine happiness and trust. "Your the strongest man here and in the rest of the land, because your my father!" Suzaku added on thoughtfully, but then her eyes shined softly. "But please, stay safe..nevertheless." Suzaku tilted her head a bit, as she dusted off some ashe from her father's cheek.

The Umbreon heard the orders that leader Koya gave to the second in command Astron after confirming Atrum's reasoning about that the Flygon had at his disposal all the members of the Guild Fumei, the lead-Koya led him by the hand in silence towards an armory, perhaps to give some secret order though Atrum couldn't even think there was something for her to hide from the highest ranking members of the guild.

"Atrum... If I'm captured... Do not, under any circumstances, rescue me. Astron will know what to do if I am, just leave me. Okay?" She turned to him with pleading eyes. "I can live with being caught but not seeing you get captured because of me..." She reluctantly released his hand, but not before squeezing it slightly. "Please... Promise me that..."

That was completely unexpected but the Umbreon managed to remain calm in front of such a request, Atrum looked at his hand she just released and took his time to choose his words wisely by remembering its warmth, it wasn't a decision that could be taken lightly or leave to the instinct, "Koya... if that's what you really want..." he paused somewhat disturbed "I will do what you ask me, but not without doing everything in my power prevent you from being caught" he bowed to the leader without the slightest twinge of conscience for the lie he just said, there was no way that he would leave her if she was captured.
