User:Katrins/Team Emerald: Chapter 11

Chapter 11:
Mikee wake up the next morning with her back feeling horrible, due to her sleeping on a cold metal floor.

Mikee: Urrgh my back...I'm never sleeping in the floor again

She notices Alter is still asleep on the opposite side of the room. She walks over to him to wake him up, but then she hears him talking.

Alter: My Chaos Emerald... Chaos... Must protect...

Mikee: Huh....Alter...?

Alter was having a dream. In it, he was talking to Tikal about his duties as a Protector..

Alter: Where am I? It feels so familiar here...

Tikal: Protector of Chaos... You are failing your duties. Chaos is becoming upset.

Alter: I know, I can feel him...

Tikal: Remember, the servers are the seven Chaos. This will always be the key. The key to unlock the power of the Chaos Emeralds. As the Protector of Chaos, it is your duty to keep this power away from those who would abuse it.

Alter: I know all of this. Why are you telling me this?

Tiakl: ...

Alter: Tikal?!

Tikal: You will soon face great danger. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer...

Alter: What?! Are you telling me that I shouldn't trust Syber and Mikee?

Tikal: Your duties as the Protector of Chaos are more important than your bond with your new friends. May I remind you what lies ahead if you fail your duties?

Alter: I... I... They're my team mates. I completely trust them!

Tikal: *sigh* Take a look.

Tikal shows Alter a vision of the future. Perfect Chaos has completely engulfed the world in water. The skies are dark and cloudy. Thunder flares the sky. Chaos roars up to the sky.

Alter: This is unbelievable...

Tiakl: Do you see, Alter? This is why your duties as the Protector of Chaos are more important than anything. Let go of your attachments, or this is what lies in store for the future.

Alter: Ha! Do you really think that I can control that?! There's no way I can. Look at this place! It's completely underwater. What am I supposed to do? Play games with it just to keep it happy? To try to prevent the inevitable?

Tiakl: More or less... Either you keep Chaos calm and happy, or I find another Protector of Chaos.

Tiakl begins to float away.

Alter: H-hey! Wait!

Tikal: The choice is yours, Protector of Chaos...

Alter's dream ends. He mumbles under his breath as he starts to wake up.

Alter: No... Wait... I am the Protector... of Chaos...

Mikee: Alter, are you okay?

Alter: (that wasnt just a dream. That was real. I know it was.)

Mikee: Alter?

Alter: Oh, yes I'm fine.

Alter: You were talking in your sleep. Did you have a dream?

Alter: ...It was nothing. Go get Syber. I have to... do something.

Mikee: .......We're trapped in this room remember? How am I gonna get him?

Then it suddenly hits them. The red glow that had been prevented them from doing anything wasnt even on.

Mikee: Hey, the red light's gone.

Alter: Oh?

Mikee: Syber must have turned it off.

Alter: But why?

Mikee looks around the room then she suddenly notices Syber

Mikee: Syber?!

There was no response. He was sitting in a corner of the room with his arms and legs crossed and his head down. It almost looked like he was sleeping.
