August 14th, 2022 - New Bark Town Reunion

[thetombkeeper]

That was...

That was something. He hadn't felt invasive thoughts like that in a few months now and it wasn't a thing he had missed. While it obviously wasn't the destroyed portion of his soul, he could tell it was something powerful, perhaps something even more powerful than the Egyptian God Cards. Although he had been too disoriented at the time, Marik did his best to pay his respects to whatever it was that was speaking to him.

The high pitched frequency and the bending of reality eventually caused him to pass out and he woke with a start.

WHUNK.

The poor teen clonks his head on the kitchen table and falls right back down, holding his throbbing head. He was already disoriented from the time travel! He didn't need this!

Once recovered from that and told by the strange lady pretending to be his mother that she had been watching over his team while he was gone, Marik takes no time in running out of the house, even shoving a few people out of the way. He looks around, heart racing. There's only one thought in his mind now and it's...

"CHENZIRA!"

A small but familiar shape pops up from a dark spiky mound and upon laying eyes on his trainer, the Yamask throws up his arms and cheers. The Egyptian's rushing over before he can even think things through, leaping through the air and grabbing his ghost companion to pull him into perhaps the tightest hug he's ever given. He doesn't even notice the sort of mochi feeling dark spikey blob he's leaning against.

Why... Why does his face feel wet? Is he... crying?

It has been over a month since they got pulled through time. And that entire time, Chenzira was on his mind. Was he okay? Was he safe? Was he lonely? Was he scared? Who was looking after him? Had time stopped for them?

"I-I'm here now, Chen... I'm back..." He whimpers, unable to hold back his tears. The Yamask's crying too, uttering soft little howls, his little arms wrapped around Marik's neck as best he can manage. The two share a good cry together for a few minutes and then...

The Egyptian yelps as the thing he's leaning on shifts and turns to reveal-

"...Usi!"

The massive Haunter cackles happily and holds up his trainer. The sound of other critter-like cheers join in as Marik looks around to see the rest of his pokémon here. ... Which makes the tears well up again.

He's back. Everyone's here. Chenzira, Usi, Anippe, Qeb, Dendara, and... he sees you in the back Gahiji.

This... this is the best day of his life.

Whoever you are, whatever you are... Thank you. Thank you for returning me to... to my family.
