She had to stop this somehow but...it was clear that neither her nor Third's voices were going to reach it. The next shouted words that reached Vicki's ears caused her to freeze and for a moment she almost lost her grip on the shark. Ripper the shark was calling for Ripper...and they were swimming deeper... This realization made Vicki paused briefly before she tightened her grip on the shark with one hand, wincing at how much the action caused her hand to hurt and twisted around to try and grab the knife from her boot.
Considering this was Jack's mind, Vicki wasn't entirely sure it would be there to begin with but she was running out of options...and fast... If they were going to where Ripper was...things wouldn't turn out well...and the last thing Vicki wanted was for Ripper to take over Jack like he had the other time. As they swam deeper into the water, Vicki just barely managed to grab the knife before extending her arm forward and stabbing the shark in its side. It wouldn't be enough to kill it per say but hopefully the action would slow it down...that and it gave her something else besides shark skin to hold on to. This still didn't seem to faze the shark however much to Vicki's dismay as it continued to swim deeper until it finally leveled out. The slight pause was enough to allow Vicki to pull the knife back out and stab the shark again, if nothing else she could at least try to make it let Third go...she had to try... After that, then both of them needed to get out of the sea...at least for a short time...[/scrolly] |

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s395/malicewright/victoriaslade.png);][atrb=width, 507][atrb=height, 327][atrb=style,border:0 black none,b,Table][scrolly:h(257),w(215),sy,as(padding:4px 0px 5px;margin-top:53px;margin-left:276px;color:#1c3a24;)]Victoria was beginning to wonder how far they would have to swim before finding another memory fragment. Whatever it was she certainly hoped it would be easier to handle than the last two had. That was doubtful at best considering the challenges of sorts had only gotten progressively harder to overcome the deeper they had swam. Perhaps this next task would prove more difficult than the last but Vicki wasn't going to let that worry her for the time being. She could only hope that they could get this done before the two psychic Pokemon got too weak to keep the link up...besides that, Vicki wasn't entirely sure what would happen to her if she was still in the 'ocean' when the connection failed.
As they continued swimming, Vicki was beginning to wonder just how much further they would have to go when Jack's voice reached her ears once again. Stopping briefly, Vicki looked around for the source of the voice...whatever it was, this wasn't going to be easy... Vicki had never heard Jack so angry before...well, there was the one time he had gotten angry at her but even that was nothing compared to this. The shouting had gotten progressively louder and Vicki found herself looking for whatever it was coming from yet again until she caught sight of yet another shark barreling towards them. Fighting the urge to swim away from the sight of an enraged shark racing towards them, Vicki instead started to swim towards it.
Foolish as it might have seemed at the time (and indeed ever fiber in her being was screaming at her to run), it was this action alone that allowed Vicki reach the shark moments before its jaws clamped down on Third. How Vicki had managed to grab ahold of its dorsal fin even she didn't know herself but she had managed it and that was all that mattered. After that, Vicki was aware of little else as she fought to keep her grip on the shark mostly because of the speed it was going combined with the fact that her hands were now getting shredded (due to the coarsness of the shark's skin) on top of the burns from before. Thus it was utterly painful for Vicki to even attempt to keep ahold of the shark for any length of time.
Third's voice combined with Jack's constant shouting made Vicki flinch as she let go with one hand, only just barely managing to grap onto the shark's right pectoral fin. The action did no favors for her hands which were practically a bloody mess right now and probably not helping matters where the shark was concerned. "JACK STOP!"Vicki yelled as loud as she could as she made to more or less hug the shark. She didn't know if her voice would do anything but she had to try...besides that, she couldn't let Third die like this. Third was the only reason Vicki was able to find out what was going on with Jack and he was trying to help her...she couldn't let him down now...[/scrolly] |

[atrb=background,http://i360.photobucket.com/albums/oo48/elronia/Miguel_Elayne_table.png][atrb=width, 510][atrb=height, 300][atrb=style,border:0 chocolate none,b,Table][scrolly:h(220),w(252),sy,as(padding:4px ;margin-top:30px;margin-left:152px;margin-right:100px;margin-bottom:30px;color: #2f1704;)]The hug from Felis was certainly unexpected but appreciated nevertheless. It helped raise Miguel's spirits up immensely just knowing that Felis still wanted him around. Had the duke wished him to leave given his failure over recent events, Miguel could not have blamed him for taking such action against him and would have thus would have left thereafter. Smiling, Miguel nodded after a moment,"Of course Felis. Besides what kind of knight...nay, what kind of friend would I be if I left?"he replied before hearing Cora enter the room.
Looking over at Cora, Miguel smiled at the simple comment about what they had been doing in the meantime but remained silent as Felis talked to her. When Miguel heard Felis' next question and the reply in turn, his face grew a little more somber than before as he nodded at Cora's reply. It made sense that Cora would want to talk to her father...as much to talk to him as probably to inform him about Elayne's current condition. Instead of saying anything about the call however, Miguel breathed out quietly and tried to think of a way to change the subject to something a little lighter. "I trust he's doing well...or rather, as well as can be expected given the current circumstances,"Miguel began in a calm voice before finally thinking of something a little less dreary,"Cora, how would you like to help us out? I believe there are still some balloons that need to be inflated or I'm sure you could help with flowers...whatever it is you wish,"he continued before falling silent thereafter, hoping that the ploy would work after all.
---
Haiiro's voice and the knowledge that he was still there was enough to calm Elayne down, albeit only slightly. She still couldn't believe that Simeon had found her so quickly and was waiting for something...anything to happen. If Simeon was here did that mean that he was going to kill her...back in the gardens Elayne was so sure that she was going to die then...probably would have if it hadn't been for Elly and Haii... They had been the only thing that stopped Simeon from hitting her again and probably causing her more pain than even this... It hurt just to breathe and the tension in her muscles that came as a result from her initial panic certainly hadn't helped either.
The next words that came from the figure finally succeeded in calming Elayne and a sigh escaped her only to cause her to flinch immediately afterward. That wasn't Simeon's voice...good...she wasn't going to be hurt again then... Opening her eyes once again, Elayne looked over at the other person as he continued on about how Haii was a knight at her side. That was true wasn't it...if Haii hadn't been there then-...no, Elayne didn't want to think about that... He had been there and she would be all right...eventually... Even as she told herself this, Elayne wasn't entirely certain she believed it...how could it be...everything hurt and at the moment it seemed like it would always be that way. Hazel eyes studied the person as Elayne tried to recall who he was...try as she might she simply couldn't remember...
Thankfully the figure finally said his name which registered with Elayne immediately. The only Nathan she knew was the one who was supposed to be the duke of the South...that was if she was remembering things correctly. "...Nathan..."Elayne repeated after a brief moment as she gathered her thoughts once again,"I-....thought you were...him..."she continued in a near whisper as she tried to fight off the memories that assailed her once again. She couldn't forget it...couldn't forget the way Simeon had looked when he had hit her again...and again... It haunted her...even in her dreams she couldn't escape from it...perhaps she never would...[/scrolly] |

The flailing hurt as it tried to get free, no doubt bruising her but that didn't matter...as long as she could at least get the shark to calm down that would work...right... Thankfully this didn't last long however as the shark changed into a white sphere right before Victoria's eyes much to her surprise. Before she could do anything else however the memories the sphere contained flashed before her.
The memories continued for a short time before finally coming to an image of teenaged Jack asking a singular question about someone named Tom. Before the memory could continue however it was cut off as the sphere became dormant in her arms. Sighing, Vicki released the sphere and watched it float back to the surface, relieved that they had found another part of Jack. Still...Jack's memory brought to mind a different memory entirely, hadn't he mentioned something about someone hurting his sister... Was that who this 'Tom' was...perhaps, but Vicki couldn't say for certain.
Before Vicki could think any more about what the memory she had seen, Third spoke up again. That's right...it was hard for Third to be in here, they needed to keep going lest he disappear like Ripper...or something like that. Nodding, Vicki began to swim once again, wondering what other challenges they would have to face to piece Jack back together again.[/scrolly] |

At least this time it wasn't practically screaming at them but... Wait...that had happened before when they had found the first sphere...hadn't it.. Stopping briefly, Vicki scanned the waters in hopes of finding some sphere of light but only saw the shark that was now charging straight towards her. Instinct told her to run, to get away from this thing that was now barreling towards her but as the 'shark' got closer, Vicki realized that the voice was coming from it about the same time Third had.
Steeling herself for the impact or whatever this thing was going to do, Vicki waited for the thing to come. The knowledge that this was part of Jack and in fact, not Ripper, was an immense relief. Now that Vicki knew what this thing was, she wasn't going to be scared away so easily. The moment she felt the shark knock into her, Vicki attempted to hold onto the thing, not caring whether or not the thing was going to hurt her. She wanted Jack to know that she was here, no matter what the cost...hadn't Vicki already said she would never leave him...[/scrolly] |

At least Jack's suffering didn't seem so bad now...that was something at least. After a few moments, Vicki released the sphere and watched as it floated back up to the surface of the water. At least now she would be able to connect it to the other fractured pieces that had appeared. Looking around in the sea, Vicki searched for even the slightest hint of light that would indicate where the next piece of Jack was.
Vicki's search was interrupted however when something else caught her eye about the same time that Third had noticed it. Before Vicki had time to react, Third was hit hard in the stomach before the thing-which looked surprisingly similar to a shark-swam off in a different direction. Ripper...it...could it really be him... Vicki wasn't quite sure what being in the sea would have done to Ripper but if Third's reaction earlier had been any indication surely he couldn't still be alive...could he... Third's voice drew Vicki out of her thoughts before she realized that the thing (whether it was Ripper or not she simply didn't care) was coming back. Seeing Third begin to swim away, Vicki needn't no further nudging to follow his example and was soon swimming as fast as she possibly could to escape whatever had just attacked them.[/scrolly] |

Every nerve in her body screamed at her to stop, to end the pain but Vicki was determined to try even if she had to deal with burns later because of it. Finally her hand closed around the orb, cutting off the burning sensation in an instant much to her relief. A sigh escaped her as she held the now dormant orb in her hands and looked at the memory, as a small smile appeared on her features. She'd done it...she had found another part of Jack... Right then it didn't matter that the memory wasn't happy, it was still a part of him and that was all that mattered...[/scrolly] |

The constant bombardment of Jack's screams was beginning to wear on her and Vicki was barely able to concentrate as it was...the last thing she needed was Third losing it as well. Turning back to the sphere of light, Vicki steeled herself and once again reached out to touch the orb. She wasn't about to give up...even if it meant she had to get hurt in the process...[/scrolly] |

She just wanted the screaming to stop, wanted to let Jack know that it was all right. He couldn't hear her though...that was evident by the continued screams that were growing increasingly louder in her mind.
The moment Vicki touched the sphere it burned something fierce but Vicki pressed onward until Third's voice broke through her concentration. Whirling around in the water to face Third, Vicki's hand reached out to slap him before she realized what she was doing. "NO!" Vicki shouted in the 'water', not really caring whether or not Third heard her,"DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP! I NEED YOU!"she continued before reaching out and gripping Third's shoulder despite how much her hands hurt from the contact as a result of being burned by the sphere.
In truth, her words were meant more for Jack then for Third but at that moment Vicki herself was a little disoriented by the constant pressure in the vast sea. Hearing Jack's constant screaming certainly didn't help either....Vicki simply wanted it to stop...to help him... If she couldn't do that much...why was she even here...[/scrolly] |

Jack! I'm here, I'm here...it's all right...everything will be all right... Vicki nearly shouted in her own mind, desperately hoping it would give at least some measure of peace to Jack. Whether it had reached Jack or not, Vicki had no way of knowing...she simply wanted him to stop being scared...
As they approached the light, Vicki was surprised at the sheer heat of it. It reminded her a little of the heat of the sun back in Orre but this...this was much more intense and burned something fierce if she so much as got near it. Nevertheless Vicki knew she had to take the memory...this was a part of Jack after all and the entire reason they were in this suffocating sea in the first place. After a moment's hesitation, Vicki reached out for the light and was once again enveloped in the memory that unfolded before her. Unlike the previous memory however, this one was not happy in the least...blood covered the bookshelves and there were bodies on the floor. The last thing Vicki was aware of was screaming before the memory cut off, leaving her dazed to say the least. Had she not already been submerged in water, the tears that were now falling down her cheeks would have been more evident but as it was they were nothing more than a drop of water in the vast sea around them.
Jack...was the only thought that went through Vicki's mind after the memory had played out. It reminded her a little too much of the scene that had played out in her own past, one that had ended in the supposed deaths of two of the people she had known all of her life. The result had left her broken...no...worse than that, she had withdrawn so far into herself to keep the pain from shattering her completely. It was little wonder that Jack wanted to do the same with such a thing haunting him. That had been Ripper's doing though...that hadn't been Jack. Besides, Vicki didn't care what Jack had done in the past...it was a part of him as much as anything else, even if the memory of such a thing hurt...
Vicki hesitated but a moment before once again reaching out to the memory, hoping that her touch might do something more like it had with the memories on the surface. It was worth a try at the very least...if it didn't work they could always try to find another memory. The thought of touching the memory again was daunting, especially considering how it had reminded her of her own haunting past in some way. Still, she had to try...no matter how painful such a thing might be...[/scrolly] |

Truth be told, Vicki was afraid...she had always been afraid of water especially considering she couldn't swim. There had been no need to learn such a thing in the dessert... Heh, if she ever got out of here that would be one of the first things Vicki would do... As much as Vicki tried to avoid water it was surprising how often she found herself around it now that she thought of it. Third's reply surprised Vicki initially and for a brief moment she simply stood there, hardly believing what she had just heard.
Third's next words snapped Vicki out of her daze of sorts as she nodded and stepped towards the sea. Now staring at the vast waters, Vicki found herself wishing she hadn't agreed to this in the first place...but if Third was going in when he had told her it was dangerous... Pushing the thoughts aside, Vicki hesitated a moment longer before diving into the waters shortly after Third. As soon as she was in the water, Vicki felt as if someone...or something...was trying to crush her. Third had been right...the waters were suffocating, but it was far worse than the possibility of drowning...
After a few seconds had passed, Vicki looked around and spotted Third not too far off. That was good, at least he was still here...now if they could just find Jack in all this... No sooner had she thought this that Vicki heard Jack's voice echoing through her mind. He sounded so scared...more so than Vicki had ever seen him...she had to help, do something...anything... It was all Vicki could do to ignore the voice and push onwards, more determined than ever to help Jack. As she continued to swim deeper (mostly by copying Third's actions), Vicki's eye caught sight of something shimmering...it almost reminded her of the memories that Third had showed her earlier. Swimming faster now, Vicki headed towards the light, hoping that it was indeed Jack...or at least a part of him...[/scrolly] |

This was something she could do at least...besides that, Vicki had known from the beginning that this wasn't going to be easy. For a brief moment, Vicki thought she saw concern on Third's face but it disappeared as quickly as it had come. Whatever the case, Vicki had already made up her mind in what she was going to do...though Third's possible concern was rather sweet.
As Third began to speak, explaining what the sea was, Vicki listened quietly until he had finished speaking. "I knew from the start that this wasn't going to be easy..."Vicki began in a calm, determined voice,"Aside from that I don't know how long our minds can remained synched like this... It's a chance I have to take...you know that as well as I do... If you can't go in to the sea, I will,"she continued before looking back over at the sea. Vicki knew what she was saying...what Third was telling her...there was a chance that she might not be able to return. She had meant what she'd said however...this was a risk she had to take even if there was the slightest possibility of bringing Jack back.[/scrolly] |

The dark waters appeared menacing, intimidating even...or at least that was the impression they left on her. It wasn't until Third explained that the memories had been coming out of the sea that Vicki looked back at him, her expression somber as she listened to the continued explanation.
Ripper's graveyard....the very thought that Ripper was still around sent shivers down Vicki's spine. Of all the things she had thought Third would say that was the last thing she had wanted to know. She could still remember the time when Ripper had taken over...that was something Vicki didn't want to repeat ever again... Still...if there were pieces of Jack in that dark sea, she had to try and find them...even if Ripper was indeed still there. "I could go there though...right?"Vicki asked quietly after a brief moment,"Even if Ripper's there...I have to try. Besides, I'm not part of Jack's mind...that might help, at least in part..." she continued before once again looking back at the sea.
The sheer vastness of it made it look all the more menacing, especially with the knowledge that Ripper might be in there somewhere. Did she really think that she could do this...that there might be some slim hope, a chance that she would be able to make it where Third could not. Perhaps it was merely a fool's hope but Vicki was willing to take it if there was even the slightest possibility that she could bring Jack back. Ripper or not, Vicki wasn't going to let her own fears stop her from helping Jack. Bringing him back was the only reason that Vicki was in the darkness that was Jack's mind in the first place.[/scrolly] |

Once again the rush that came with seeing another memory coursed through her as she focused on the task at hand. As the memory played out before her, Vicki found herself smiling at seeing Jack so happy. The girl then...that must be the sister that Jack had talked about before... The memory faded away after a short time as the two pieces finally came together, almost startling Vicki before she realized what had happened.
Looking back up at Third, Vicki smiled at the startled look on his face at her success before releasing the fragment. For a moment, Vicki simply watched the floating memory before she returned her attention back to Third,"So...all we have to do is put the pieces back together? Where can we find more?"she asked quietly, choosing not to mention the startled expression she'd seen earlier.[/scrolly] |

Of course Third had already tried such a thing, he wanted Jack back too after all. It couldn't hurt to try however, even if it ended up being yet another failed attempt at piecing Jack together. Taking up a couple memories, Vicki listened to Third for a moment before shaking her head."You're wrong...they're not simple puzzle pieces or mere memories..."Vicki began quietly as she focused on the two memories before her,"They're Jack, everyone one of them...they define who he is, what he's done.... I love them all, every one of them. They make up the person I love..." she continued before looking up at Third as a small smile played on her features. "Everything he's done...everything he is...I love it all..."Vicki said quietly before looking back down at the memories in her hands, hoping that they would indeed stick together.[/scrolly] |

A child Jack could be seen running down the halls away from some women. It was nice to see him so happy...at least there had been one time when Jack had been happy...that was nice to know. After a moment the memory faded away and Vicki returned to 'reality' once again. After the bright light, the dark ocean before her that was Jack's mind took some getting used to. Blinking a few times, Vicki listened as Third explained that there were more memories floating around. "All right... so we just need to find them? That's all...?"Vicki asked quietly before looking down at the orbs before her,"Have you tried combining them...?"[/scrolly] |

Instead, Third simply held up his hands as more spheres similar to the ones sitting on ledges around them, floated up. These however appeared almost white rather than the somewhat darker purple color the other floating orbs were. Vicki looked at the spheres before her, wondering exactly was held within them when Third asked the very question that was on her mind. Looking up at Third for a brief moment, Vicki was about to ask what the orbs were when the sphere in question drew her attention as it seemed to dance just above Third's hands. Reaching out a hand, Vicki made to touch the orb albeit hesitantly. Whatever was held in these orbs was a part of Jack...maybe...it would help her find him again...[/scrolly] |

Rolling her eyes at the statement, Vicki took a step back as Third stretched and half-laughed at the comment. "Would have preferred that I let Amina enter? I thought that you would prefer me entering versus the eyes and ears of Nathan..."she retorted before folding her arms and grinning,"Besides, I'm here whether you like it or not... Do you know where we should start?" she continued, her grin fading to a more somber look as she continued speaking.[/scrolly] |

Was this what everyone's mind looked like...a vast sea of darkness with seemingly no end to it? Perhaps...perhaps not, Vicki was certainly not going to question further lest she waste precious time. Taking a few steps inward, Vicki walked towards one of the ledges that held one of the floating orbs. It was a curious thing to see certainly...it reminded Vicki of candles of sorts and perhaps that was all they were... Candles didn't have voices however...these must be the other voices Jack had mentioned earlier. It made sense, Jack had really only explained three of the voices to her after all, Vicki didn't actually know how many 'voices' existed in Jack's mind.
Surveying her surroundings once again, Vicki noticed what appeared to be a young Jack sitting on another ledge. Well...that was something more to go on then a few floating purple orbs at least... Walking towards the figure, Vicki took in the attire that the youthful Jack was dressed in, hoping to find some clue as to whom she was addressing. Considering Ripper was gone and Cas had been unheard of for quite some time...that left Third... At least it was the most logical explanation as to who was sitting before her. Jack certainly didn't wear suits...or at least not as long as she had known him."...Third I take it?"Vicki asked after she had reached the 'person' in question.[/scrolly] |

She didn't know exactly what this would entail but whatever it was Vicki believe that she was ready for it...it was something she could do at least and hopefully something good would come of it. Vicki was aware that Third was less than enthusiastic at what was going to happen whether he liked it or not but as she had stated previously; she didn't care what he thought.
Adiva blinked at the voice in her mind and nodded before drawing on her own psychic power, hesitantly at first until she figured out exactly what it was they were supposed to do. Whatever the reason they had in doing this, it was good right...well, hopefully everyone would be OK...
Vicki was hardly ready for what happened next. As soon as the two psychic Pokemon had started to work, Vicki could feel a draw on her own mind and fought against the urge to resist the pull. She couldn't panic now...not when she was so close to being able to help. Vicki could see a tunnel in her mind's eye and as she walked into it her physical body slipped into a coma of sorts as her consciousness linked to Jack's. A few moments later, Vicki found herself surrounded by complete and utter darkness...was this...Jack's mind...[/scrolly] |
