Thread: The Half Project: Scattered Shards

"But is really better? Is it really a better world to live in? Mankind has had wars, huge wars and destroys massive amounts. Think how much worse that would be if they had the powers of Pokémon, but so much stronger, at their fingertips."

"Well, once we get the DNA of the Lake Guardians, we can get rid of their thirst for war."

"Lilith, there's a lot of things I do know, and a lot of things I don't know. I do know what you've been hiding for almost a year now," Lilith slashed at L-II's face, "Agh! If you're going to be like that, I'll tell them,"

"Tell us what?" Anthony asked.

"I am so, so sorry," O-II said, "But that is not the way it works. That's the thing about the human race, the amazing, brilliant homo sapiens. There's a reason why they're classified as mostly harmless, you know. I mean, look at them. What an inventive, invincible species. It's only a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenceless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. Ready to outsit eternity, outfight destiny. They're indomitable. And you can't touch them for too long or they rebel."

"Let Lilith decide if she wants to tell you," Ozias told Anthony, "It's her life."

"Let's take this talk to the seas." Anthony walked into the vehicle.

Lilith stood up, and looked at her copy, "You're not worth it," she said before heading following Anthony, "Coward" L-II thought.

"No," O-II frowned, "I think she's right. You aren't, are you?" Ozias and O-II walked into the vehicle. Indigo and Raine saw the two Oziases.
"Whoa! Two of Ozias."
"O Arceus, help us."

A-II, C-II, and T-II vanished.

Anthony sighed. "I'm going to stay with the vehicle next time we split up. I'm exhausted."

"Then shall we call it a night?" O-II suggested.

OOC: I'm gonna be gone for a little bit

"We just got up, didn't we? I got no sleep, though... So while you all are raiding labs, I'll be kicking ba-- Guarding the hostage."

"I didn't, but we don't sleep," O-II replied, "But you've been driving all night, you deserve some rest." O-II's pupils suddenly shrank drastically as he stumbled backwards, knocking the table over. "Aaaagh!"
"What is it?" Ozias hurried over to him. O-II's expression and tone suddenly shifted.
"I've got to get to that cockerel before all hell breaks loose!"
"What?"
"Haha! Among all the varied wonders of the universe, there's nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind."
"What?"
"I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there."
"Whaaat?"
"Aaaaagh! Heeelp!"

"What should I do?" Chiara asked.

"Hang on! You can still stabilize! My memories, he can't take all of them! His mind is crumbling!"
"There's nothing you can do! Ozias, listen to me! We don't have much time! I'll stabilize in a minute, and then we have to hurry! I-I... I'm dyin-- I'll tell you what then, don't... step on any butterflies. What have butterflies ever done to you? Dying! I'm dying and I can't stop it. I... I think I'm okay now."
