Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 4

"You said it yourself, a small breeze can turn violent. My level of flow might suddenly spike up to match up the real one," Zackary said as something again cut the cape. This time, cutting it clean off.

[Book the Hero]

"You're a real idiot, you know that?" A voice from behind them said.

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika looked at the remaining cape in her hands. "...Once. You said I saved your life once."

Erika turned her head.

[Book the Hero]

Behind them stood Percival. "You're just running away, without even trying to find a way to make it work."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

Zackary rubbed his forehead. His calm persona was starting to get annoyed by this.

"Once upon a time." he said to Erika.

He then turned to Percy. "Yes. Nice of you to notice the new me."

[Book the Hero]

"There are people here, who think of you as a friend." Percival said. "You leave, you end up hurting them."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"And funny enough, I don't care," Zackary responded to Percival.

[Book the Hero]

Percival silently stared at Zackary for a few moments. "...So, this is the kind of person you've become, huh?"

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Zack-" Erika moved again, but doing so made her feel woozy...

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Five years changes people, my flow is rather destructive if left unchecked," Zackary shrugged towards Percival but mvoed to make sure Erika wasn't going to fall over.

[Book the Hero]

Joey changed back and quickly caught his wife. "You ok?"

[MrMissMrs Random]

"I'm fine. Stomach just been hurting." Erika replied.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Don't stress yourself out," Zackary responded as he stepped back and away from the married couple.

[Book the Hero]

Joey nodded, before turning to Zackary. "Change, yes...for the better, no."

"Zackary, the Acer is over, it's time to grow up."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"The Acer is over, yes," Zackary said over his shoulder again. "Unfortunatly for you, I'm all grown up now, Percy."

[Book the Hero]

"Nope..." Joey said. "You're still just a kid."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Funny, last I checked I was fully grown," Zackary glanced back at him. "Either way are you continuing to block my exit, or may I continue?"

[Book the Hero]

"...No...go right ahead..." Joey said. "I won't stop you."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Enjoy the rest of your lives together then," Zackary said as he turned around and began to walk away.

[Book the Hero]

Joey just sighed as Zackary soon walked away into the distance. "Still just a kid..." He muttered to himself.

[MrMissMrs Random]

But Erika stared at Zackary's retreating figure. Why does everthing get worse sometimes...?

"...I should go help with Kira and Luke." Erika said.

[Book the Hero]

"...I'll help to." Joey said, concerned about his wife.

[Creation of Pokerus]

Paul shrugged at Zackary's retreating form. "Can't fix a problem that doesn't want to be fixed," he muttered, "then again trying to fix a problem can only cause more harm."

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika shook her head. "Don't worry about it. It's jsut showing them to the food stores. I'll see you later."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

Sage sighed from where she stood. Reletivly close to the conversation, or rather, on the other side of the wall. Eavesdropping on it.

"Well...he did stay longer than he usually does..."
