Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 6

[Creation of Pokerus]

"Well there's Sage, Zackary, Paul, Elena..." Kaylee listed off her fingers, "Oh, and Adeline. not sure if her friend is my friend though...she's always asleep."

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika scowled, but gave a shrug. "He's all yours." Erika turned to Joey. "I'll go lie down for a while, then I'll be good as new, okay?"

[Book the Hero]

Joey nodded to his wife. "Take it easy, kay/" He said, before turning to Nathan.

[Stabberz]

Nathan stood there and folded his arms, waiting for Erika to leave. "Anywhere we can go that's private?" He asked once she was gone. "It's about the map."

[Book the Hero]

Joey nodded. "Follow me." He said, before heading off in one direction. He lead Nathan to an empty clearing, near the lake, outside of the village.

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika went back to the house and sat down on her bed, thinking.

[Stabberz]

Once they got there Nathan waved his hand and created a table of solid ice. He held out his hand towards Joey. "I figure, it's time I showed you what's going on."

[Book the Hero]

Joey nodded to Nathan, before bringing his own hand forward.

[Stabberz]

Upon skin contact he utilised his Telepathy and flashed images and memories into Joey's head about what Nathan knew. He didn't show him everything, just the different towers, the size of the forces they would be up against, their power, and also the orbs of flow.

Once he was done, Nathan gestured towards Joey's pocket. "Get the map out..."

[Book the Hero]

Joey was disoriented by what he was shown, but brought the map out. "I' guessing the map shows the locations of the orbs?"

[Stabberz]

"As well as all the towers that Shima knew of." Nathan said as he unravelled the map and pointed them out. "Not just that, you see this line? That's our territory. We're about as far as east as you can go."

He moved his hand over to the orb that he, Heidi and Tom had destroyed and used a small spark to burn a hole in it. He then pointed to another orb that was nearer north than the other one. "That's the next target. Once that's down, it'll be five left. The main one which is here... at their main base."

Once again he looked up at Joey. "A strong force of theirs is already coming at us. By now they're here." He said, pointing again. "That gives us four months due to how slow they are at moving such a force. In that time I can take two other people with me to go and destroy the second orb and be back in time to organise defence."

[Book the Hero]

Joey nodded. "Ok...and who exactly do you pla on taking?" Joey said, doing well in keeping up. Although he was slightly skeptical, he was willing to at east give him the benefit of the doubt in this.

[Stabberz]

"No idea yet. Was thinking of Kira and Luke but they're far from ready." Nathan muttered as he rolled up the map and handed it back to Joey.

"Oh and Joey... about the whole Delmer situation a few years back..." He allowed Empathy to turn on and he lowered his head. "I'm sorry..."

[Book the Hero]

Joey was silent for long time. It wasn't till a couple minutes later did he reply. "Nathan, I'm not saying I forgive you, you can't change what you did, but....for now, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, that you really have changed." The young man said, to the fellow young man.

[Stabberz]

Nathan nodded and held out his hand to shake. He still had more to go after Joey.

[Book the Hero]

Joey nodded, before shaking Nathan's hand. "...Be warned, I still don't completely trust you."

[Stabberz]

"Wouldn't expect you too." Nathan responded with a shrug. "To put your trust fully in someone is to leave yourself open to weakness."

"Anyway, I've got a few more apologies to make," he murmured calmly. "Mind if I see Erika next?"

[Book the Hero]

"No problem, let me just wake her up first." Joey said, turning to the village.

[Stabberz]

Nathan nodded and followed slowly after. He let Empathy stay out now, not that he had much choice.

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika hadn't gone to sleep, but when she ehard Joey she moved so that she was laying on the bed and clsoed her eyes.

[Book the Hero]

Joey entered the room, and approached the bed. "Erika..." He said, before bending down, and giving his wife a quick kiss, to get her up.

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika opened her eyes and gave Joey a smile. "Hey."

[Book the Hero]

"You feeling better?" He asked with a smile.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Yeah. What did Nathan want?" Erika asked.
