Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sammy shook her head, having no clue what Ike was talking about. Quickly, she grabbed his arm and put it over her shoulder, holding him steady so he didn't topple over. "Ike... You should sit down." She sighed, gesturing towards the couch. She wouldn't push him to talk about what had happened, if he didn't want to. Squirt and Blitzen had both come over, now ready to help hold Ike up.

Ike accepted the help and limped his way over to the couch with help from Squirt and Blitzen. He struggled to get his torn long coat off of his back as he looked up to the others with an extreme sense of confusion. He looked to Kiara, to Sammy, to Blitzen, to his feet, and with a deep breath, he looked back up to everyone.

"You all.... aren't kicking me out? ...wait.... what's the date?" he asked, looking for his TADS but not finding it.

"December sixth, 2008, Ike." Sammy sighed. This didn't sound good at all.... What had happened to him? The first thing Sammy did when Ike reached the couch was get the bandages from her bag, taking them out. "You're gonna need these." She took the bandages and began unwrapping them.

"... Sleeping, I guess..." Sammy couldn't help but ask, "Why?" One of the most simple forms of questioning; a single word. Yet so many had died after asking that, so it sent slight shivers down her spine.

Ike stood up quickly and made his way to his room, where he started digging through all of his stuff for something. His partners, Lucario and Scizor, simply stared at this awkward presence.

"Ike? You've returned?" asked Lucario. Scizor rolled his eyes and looked away. It would have seemed he had lost a bet.

"Sorry guys." he said, finding what he wanted to find. A sword. He brought it back out to the common room; Lucario and Scizor following behind.

"Three things were given to us after the battle we had with Cyrus and Team Galactic on Mt. Coronet, remember?" asking no one in particular. "Maddy..." he said with reluctance "...and Kwchups... both got something, too."

Kiara merely nodded. She hadn't been there for the battle with Cyrus and Team Galactic, but apparently the items had significance. She watched him, waiting for him to continue and hoping he wasn't going to pass out or anything. This was all a bit strange at the moment, she figured.

"Whatever." Sammy sighed, glaring at Ike for a moment. Why couldn't he ever exlpain anything? Why he had to leave, and then this? Sammy got up and sat against the wall, smiling for some reason. No matter what, she wouldn't let herself get angry again. "I'll do whatever I can to help..." She mumbled, trying to add a good amount of certainty in her voice.

"It's dark out now." Ike said. "I'd say let's do it right now, but I don't have my pokemon."

Lucario walked over to Ike and checked his head for a fever. "You alright? We're right here." he said. Ike waved him away.
"You're Ike's... i mean to say... from here. From now. The Lucario I know is... today's the sixith, you say? Hmm..." he trailed off into thought again. Scizor waved a claw at Ike as if he's crazy and walked out of the room.

"Tomorrow... things will make more sense guys. Heh." he said with a chuckle. "I guess she didn't have control over Celebi after all then. I have a second chance!"

Ike stood up, smirking. He knew the others thought he was insane. "I need sleep." and with that, he walked to the corridor which lead to the rooms. Before he vamoosed, though, he turned around.

"Sorry guys... about the whole leaving you behind thing... I wasn't in the right state of mind....isn't that the truth." and with THAT, he went off to sleep.
