[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Within a few seconds, Odile had boarded his own resident Dragon Pokemon and Penny was waiting impatiently for Yui to clamber onto Rook. "C'mon Yui, we haven't got all day! We've got places to go and peop-"[/FONT]
"[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]You've done that one," said Cal, jumping into Penny's stream of conversation.[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Penny tilted her head and raised a single eyebrow, but said nothing. Typical Cal, trying his best to annoy Penelope whenever he could. Of course, that was all before this situation, and somewhere deep down Penny had hoped he would have stopped that. Still, Cal was equally annoyed by the fact that Penelope would never take a thing seriously, so they were set roughly even. Still, Yui had not joined Penny and Cal for the ride, and she seemed to be far too deep in thought, as if she were in a state of self-consciousness. Then again, Penny had gotten that feeling from her since they had met, so it wasn't all that odd. But unless she intended to fly, Yui had better get up onto Rook before Penelope grew bored and flew off. Luckily though, she would not. Other people would be help, not a hindrance. A large group of skills makes a successful band of survivors. Penny and Rook brought a huge amount of versatility to the table. Jack of all trades, but master of none, if you will. Keldia could simply use her immense strength, although it wasn't as if Rook couldn't copy that of course.[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Odile seemed rooted to the spot. "STAY AWAY!!" he almost screamed.[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Penny swung her head to the front of the group and Odile's general direction, expecting to find more zombies, but there was nothing there. What on earth? Wait... something was there. Penny could see it far off in the distance. What was it? It wasn't a human, she could tell that. Whatever it was happened to be about 6 feet tall, and had a vaguely humanoid silhouette, but it definitely wasn't another human being. A Pokémon maybe? But what kind of Pokemon looked like that? Her thoughts were dragged to the ground quite literally as her back slammed against the hard concrete which layered the group. She had fallen from Rook again it seemed. But still, something had gripped tightly round her neck. Whatever it was, the grip was tight and she struggled to breathe. Every gasp of oxygen was vital, and it was impossible to see what was causing this. A zombie? No, they would feast upon your flesh. Maybe she had been bitten, and this was just what it felt like? Pinned to the ground by an un-seeable assailant. Either way, it didn't feel as comfortable as Penny was taking it. She would have seemed fine from the outside, but inside she was trembling with fear. Penny was going to die now. Murdered by something which is completely invisible. She struggled to change her view from straight ahead to the being, which was the same one clouded in a thick dark fog. It was easier to discern features now, even though that should be the last of her worries. It probably stood at about 6'2", and it was more of a dark grey than black, which made it look more like a shado-[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]The being began to shrink. Its form changing from a large man into that of a small boy. Its grip was still intensely painful though, and Penny continued to gasp for air. Soon, the enveloped figure began to change once more. Its grey hide began to change colour and shape a little. Clothing became apparent, wearing a bright red t-shirt and trousers. Penny tried to fight back, but was unable to resist the strength of one person who she knew best. It was her brother.[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]This carried on for what felt like an hour. Her own brother was trying to kill her, and she could do nothing about it! Soon enough though, Penny felt a sudden and sharp sting to the side of her face, causing the whole world to disappear in the blink of an eye, only to be replaced by a seconds view. She was upon Rook once more as she had been, and was unharmed. As an automatic response, Penny swung and hand out and slapped whatever had slapped her in the face. Penny glanced up, realising it was in fact Yui.[/FONT]
"[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Uh... oops..." were the few words in which Penny could splutter out.[/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Cal shuffled a little away from Penelope as he was awoken by Yui in much the same manner, a little wary of his own sister now. He had had the same hallucination but in reverse. Him being murdered by his own sister. A wonderful day-dream by anyone's standards... [/FONT]
[FONT=Century Gothic, sans-serif]Penny tilted her head while staring at Yui, trying to work out what had happened. "I'm not even going to ask..." she grumbled. "Get on Yui, we don't have all day..." It wasn't said with her usual cheerfulness, and her words sounded somewhat grim.[/FONT]
