("Thoughts")
(Meanwhile with Alia)
Alia arrives on the moon with a green-armoured, messy haired and shy looking hunter as they see the small portal at display. The blonde reploid calls up HQ and tells them, "Alright. Me and Bob have arrived on site."
"Good," Signas answered as they were communicating through headsets, "Now. Are you sure about this, Alia?"
"Of course, Commander Signas." Alia replied, "Correct, Bob?"
"Y-Yes Alia!" Bob saluted nervously, "A-And Commander!"
Alia facepalms a bit as she is fully aware of the fact that this hunter only been working for a few years, and the fact the poor boy has a crush on Alia, but she wasn't sure how to reject the young hunter politely. Regardless, finding the trio is her top priority as she tells him, "Let's go Bob."
"Of course!" Bob told her, "I'll protect you at all cost!"
"Of course," Alia told him.
"Be careful out there, Alia!" Pallette told her through their headsets.
"We have no idea what to expect," Layer told her, "Don't do anything reckless like Pallette would."
"Hey!"
"I'll be fine, Layer!" Alia ensured them as she walks up to the portal along with the hunter. She takes a deep breath as she takes out the Dimensional Caller Douglas gave her. "Let's do this!"
"I-I'll go first!" The hunter told her in a timid manner as he jumps head first.
"W-Wait!" Alia yelled out as she tries to grab Bob.
But it was too late as he already jump into the hole, causing it to go smaller... allowing one more person in. Alia gulps as she clutches the caller device tightly as she jumps in the hole.
"AAAHHHHHHH!!!" Alia screamed as everything is completely dark.
Where she can feel her body morphing strangely, even though she can't see what's happening. She wasn't sure if she's dying or not, but whatever it is, she's very, very terrified that she couldn't keep her usual level head.
Sudden brightness happens right in front of her that completely blinds her, and she fell on top of a bunch of trees.
"Ow! Ahh! Owe!" Alia shouted in pain while getting hit by a bunch of trees until she falls on top of a bush, which a bunch of Pokemons runs away from her. "Ah... where... where am I...?"
Alia's eyesight is a bit blurry, so she stands up while still holding the device, much to her relief. She looks around her surroundings, where she is in a deep forest filled with chilly air as she could barely see anything. The trees are in large patches and she has no idea where she is.
("Damn it... I have no idea where am I?") Alia thought as she looks down... and gasps, ("Wha-What happened to my armour?!")
She notices she's wearing a drastically different outfit and her body changed to an average teenage girl who just become 18, wearing a pink dress-like coat with green buttons and magenta cuffs, white gloves, a white tank top underneath, black jeans and pink boots with black laces. She also has a pink backpack with loose, hot pink straps.
She touches her face, where she feels her skin soft and squishy, not the hardness of metal. She couldn't comprehend of what just happened to her, but than she hears a voice.
"ALIA!"
She quickly snaps out of it as she sees Bob running up to her, who also lost his armour, and instead wears a green T-shirt and such. He also transform into a young looking boy, around 14 or 15.
"Bob? Is that you?" Alia asked him.
"Yep! It's me!" Bob told her, "I wasn't sure if it was you, but I knew right away of your iconic hairstyle and that device you're holding."
"Of course..." Alia answered. "Now, we need to call up HQ and hope to whatever god this world worshipped it works."
"Alright. I'll scout around the area where we hopefully find someone." Bob told her.
"I highly doubt any human being is here." Alia told him.
"We never know unless we try!" Bob told her optimistically. "I know I'm rather new and I'm not as reliable as the three best hunters such as X, but I will try my best!"
Alia looks at the timid boy and smiles softly. He's right; you never know unless you try. So, she just nods as he salutes to her and says, "Thanks! I'll be back, Alia! Don't worry!"
Bob runs off as he start scouting around the forest. Meanwhile, Alia presses the button of the device as she sits near a tree, which it is static at first. The blonde girl sighed out of annoyance until the static slowly, but surely start to show faces, much to her relief.
"Commander! Commander, can you hear me!?" Alia called out.
"W-We can hear you!" Signas told her through the device once the static stops.
"Yes! It works!" Douglas shouted happily.
(Meanwhile back in HQ)
Pallette rolls her eyes at Douglas and says sarcastically, "Yes, yes we know Douglas. Now go back to your nerdy cave from once you came!"
Douglas glares at Pallette while she just laughs it off as she turns around and suddenly points out, "Oh my god! What happened to your armour!?"
"I'm surprised you are the first one to notice, Pallette." Alia commented.
"Oi!" Pallette called out. "And why can't we see your face?!"
"I-it's the damn fog!" Alia told them in an annoyed tone, "There's nothing I could do about it!"
"Alright, alright. Take a chill pill, will ya!?" Pallette told her off.
"Do you have any idea of where you could possibly be?" Layer asked, which calms the blonde down.
"Unfortunately, I do not. But right now, Bob is scouting the forest as we speak." Alia told them, "He shouldn't be too far at the moment, so it should be fine."
Unfortunately, they hear an intense screaming from Alia's side. Her face turns pale and mumbles, "I... I gotta call back later. Alia out..."
Before they could asks, Alia quickly calls off. The whole group look at each other with concern looks as they wonders of what just happened.
(Back with Alia)
Alia quickly puts the caller in her bag and runs off as she looks for Bob. She runs out of breath after fifteen minutes of running around the forest, however she hears the cry of a strange creature, much to her confusion.
Alia searches for the source of that scream and she notices trails of blood on the grass, causing her face to turn pale white.
("Oh no... d-don't tell me...") Alia thought in horror as she slowly follows the trails and she feel her heart beating faster.
It's an odd, but terrifying feeling she has on her guts and she wasn't sure how she feel about that fact. She didn't want to believe someone... or something actually killed Bob as the further down she walks, the fog slowly start to clear up.
She sees a shadowy figure that is tied to a tree. She gulps as she steps closer even though she knows this must be a trap... but yet, her human, emotional mentality override her normally logical instinct. If she was a reploid, she would run from the different side and warn the others, but now as a human... she's doing the exact opposite even though this isn't something she should be doing.
But it's too late... Alia sees something she wishes she never sees as she stares with pure horror and collapses to her knees.
"No... oh god no..." Alia mumbled.
That shadowy figure... is Bob's corpse tied to the tree as his neck has a deep, nasty scar on it as blood is dripping from his body. This is the first time she seen an human corpse up close... she has seen many corpses due to the wars, but never this close. NEVER this close.
Suddenly, she sees a bunch of white powder spreading in front of her, causing her to cough intensely and collapses to the floor as her vision starts to blur out, but sees two figures; a yellow man and some silver haired woman talk to each other before the man grabs her... and the last thing she sees is his cold and dead red eyes.
("Someone... save... me...")
