RUINS OF REGIROCK
POSTED ON May 20, 2021 14:56:33 GMT
MUSIC Explosion, collapse, tumble, SMACK, and then a few moments of numb stillness as the pain came rushing in to Zac's body. He and REM had been tossed down the hallway by the explosion, but thankfully everyone was safe. Zac groaned as he pulled his eyes open, grinning at Stormy and Kaz-
Kazimir was gone.
Zac pulled himself up, numb hands gripping the red-smeared rock wall as he looked around for his friend. "Kaz?" He asked, hoping that his blonde buddy was just hiding somewhere for a hilarious prank. "Where are you mate?" Zac shouted, and he looked over at Stormy.
...Kazimir was gone.
The tunnel behind them had collapsed entirely. Pillar, wall, and ceiling had come together in a stunning display of unity to completely block the passage. Zac saw no sign of Kazimir in the rubble. No chunk of blonde hair, no muffled cry for help, and no limp hand poking melodramatically from underneath a fallen chunk of ceiling.
Kazimir was gone.
Zac gripped the nearest block and heaved it away, clearing a tiny divot in the scree. "REM. Lock-on to Kaz," Zac said. The Flygon's eyes darted around, looking for something to lock on to. Its expert eyes found nothing. REM landed, pressing its sensitive hands and wings against the rocks. The pile shuddered as Zac pulled away another piece, but there was no movement within. "Lock-on mate! He's in there!" Flygon sniffed at the rocks. He smelled dry death and wet iron. Blood, sulfur and clay. He licked the rock. Nothing. Zac pried his fingers underneath a huge slab of ceiling, heaving it through the sand and away from the pile. "Lock-on! You know where he was now FIND HIM!" Zac shouted, his voice soaking into the sand. REM looked at his trainer. The Flygon shuddered, filled with contained energy. He wanted to help. Wanted to find Kazimir. But there was nothing left of him.
Kazimir was gone.
There are few things more powerful than friendship. It cuts through barriers of space, time, and stone. It transcends distance and disaster. It links people intangibly, as if they were joined by an unbreakable thread. Kazimir was gone. Hidden under a hundred tonnes of collapsed temple. But Zac was still there. And as REM struggled to Lock-On to some remnant of Kazimir, he found one. He found Zac.
REM used Lock-On on Zac and Kazimir's bond.
The Flygon's red eyes flickered between the redhead and the red rocks, following the thick, crimson thread that linked Zac to Kaz, even if the latter was buried deep underground. REM buzzed, and darted over to the pile. The crimson thread phased straight through one of the rocks. "You found him?" Zac asked, voice hard and brittle, like weakened steel. "Where? Show me?" REM tapped the rock and Zac heaved it away. To the Flygon's eyes the line of thread stretching further inwards, straight through another fallen chunk. "Stormy! REM's found him! Let's go!"
We're comin mate. You're not gone yet.
