A Lost Cause-
Vitor wasn't sure when they moved. He couldn't truly tell you. He just knew he woke up and he was 100% they weren't in Venesi. He tried to look around when pain hit. He groaned before Natalie got to his side.
"Good... you're up. I wanted to test something and we have a chance right now."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"We're near the evacuated Tsukinami Village and we're about to go help the others at the Nuclear Plant." He saw where her plan was going before allowing her to get him onto her back.

Once they were there, strength surged through him. He was surprised, but he was able to not depend on her for support and fight on his own. She smiled as they aided the others in the fight to stabilize the area. Of course chaos hit in another area. The twins were too late to do anything as they ran over to the others, which consisted of Pluto; who was half awake on Theo's back, Theo; who was frozen by something on the ground, Kellyn; who was struggling to get responses from people and having a panic attack, and Cameron; who was out cold. Natalie gulped as she paused. Vitor would need help getting out... She glanced at him as he spoke.
"Nat... help dad get these guys back to the TRU. I'll be there soon."
"If you collapse-"
"I'll have my pokemon help. Do you have the starter?" She nodded before giving it to him.
"Be careful." He nodded as she went over and picked up the two younger boys on her back and touched Kellyn's shoulder. "Come on, dad."

She paused as Vitor was helped to sit down. He had a bag in his hands, but she didn't approach him yet. Brittany went over and gave her the update on the boys before she did.
"Well?"
"I might be able to make a solution. I just need some time." She hummed.
"Well, Pluto made it... Cameron's in a coma and Dad's coming around now." Vitor frowned.
"You were supposed to get four people back." She sighed.
"Theo got back up early and was trying to convince us that the other plant was also in danger. We were able to insist that we should wait for at least Pluto or Kellyn to get back up... but... then CURIE attacked."
"Who?"
"CURIE. They were responsible for Cameron being in a coma and the destruction of the Plant we left. Anyways... CURIE didn't do that much damage, but..." She gulped. "CURIE took Theo." Vitor froze.
"Does Pluto know?"
"I couldn't tell him. In fact, I haven't been in his room since. And before you ask, Dad doesn't know either. Mostly because he woke up recently. I'm sure he'll know soon."
Almost right on cue, their father went over. Vitor was midway into his project, so he looked at it before Kellyn sat near them.
"Alright... What did I miss?"
"Natalie blew something up." Natalie actually looked at her twin with confusion written across her face.
"When did I-" She paused. "Oh!" Vitor chuckled before she snapped back. "No, that was you!"
"Who witnessed it?" She mumbled something rather harshly under her breath, but he had successfully gotten her mind off of the sad fact that she would have to tell the ranger soon. Kellyn must've seen his goal with his comment.
"What really happened?" Natalie didn't answer, probably a mixture of guilt and anger with it. Vitor hummed before going back to his project. Natalie finally spoke, letting it be known that the guilt was a lot stronger than the rage that Vitor tried to evoke.
"Other than the Nuclear Plant is now evacuated?" Vitor caught sight of a small tear forming. It wasn't big enough for Kellyn to notice, but Vitor was shocked. He never saw Natalie with more than two emotions; Cheerful and Anger.
"Other than that." She didn't look at her father as she spoke. She didn't even sound like herself when the words left her mouth.
"CURIE took Theo."
Kellyn stared at her as she lowered her head. There was a heartbeat of silence before Kellyn pulled Natalie into a hug. Vitor heard a sniffle and on instinct joined the hug. Like he had mentioned, he never saw Natalie outside Cheerful and Anger. So it surprised him to hear his twin crying. She didn't calm down right away, so he pulled away to leave it to his dad, mostly because he never had to deal with this, so he was fairly inexperienced.
"Nat... shh..." She trembled as Vitor watched from the corner of his eye while he worked on his project. "It's not your fault..."
"I-" Whatever comeback she had left as she broke down again. Vitor frowned as he finished his project. That's when Natalie calmed down enough to pull away and bury her face into her twin's back. Kellyn sat across from the genius before he spoke.
"So... what are you up to?"
"Making a solution for my drainage. It's almost done..." Kellyn hummed before a rather familiar voice filled the air.
"Hey..." They looked up as Pluto went over. Now comes a problem. Do they tell him that his boyfriend was kidnapped or deal with it without him knowing? "Where's Theo?" Natalie tensed up as Kellyn sighed, knowing there was no way to hide it.
"CURIE came here and took him."
Pluto physically stopped working. In fact, Natalie moved from her spot and pulled him into a hug just before he broke down. Something tugged at Vitor. It hurt seeing his siblings like this. As Kellyn went to their side, Vitor got the finished product on and turned it on. It gave a soft hum before strength surged. He smiled at that before he frowned.
CURIE was going down.
