((I apologize for leaving this RPG and never responding to any of you. I had a lot on my mind before. If any of you are still around and want to continue this, here is my belated post))
Bane Newbury and Xia
"And you can just rip a hole through time and space into a new dimension and allow us to travel wherever?" Prairie asked Bane, turning her gaze on him now. "That's almost the craziest thing I've heard today, besides the fact that I was told we all have powers to do with elemental types that normally categorize Pokemon."
Bane curled his lips into a vicious smile. “Yes. Yes I can,” he said in a snake-like voice. Xia took another step back, accidentally stomping on Steven’s foot this time. He was becoming a completely different person now. A moment ago he seemed like a stubborn young man but now he was just getting… creepy. Schizophrenic even.
“Dude, is being creepy part of the bargain?” Xia said, trying to create some humor. Her words dropped like rocks. Bane turned to face her and suddenly he had a strange glow. His skin turned white. Not pale: white.
“This is what you asked for,” he hissed. His eyes became pupil-less and white and the strange glow intensified.
“Wait, this isn’t what I-“ Xia began but she never finished her sentence. Bane started screaming in a voice so shrill, it was like her ears would fall off. A pool of darkness opened up beneath their feet and she felt herself sinking into the ground. She cried out in fear, struggling to break free of the all-consuming nightmare that was coming over them. She looked up for a moment and saw Bane standing calmly amongst the shadows. All at once the darkness enveloped all four of them and they found themselves sucked into a strange world.
Xia gasped for breath, it just felt like she had been squeezed through a small tube. “Where are we!?”
“The Reverse World. Duh,” Bane said with a cackle. What was up with this guy? He was so weird. It creeped her out. Obviously he wasn’t lying about himself before. He meant business.
The Reverse World was dark and strange. From what Steven said, it was the fabled home of Giratina, the legendary ghost and the being of Death. A grim reaper even. There were strange buildings floating in space. Everything was dark and it made Xia shudder. It was like this whole world was the opposite of anything good. It was a nightmare. Why did Bane bring them here?
