The Journey Begins...
[/size][/b]Vengeance/Victoria/Vicki
BJ/Jack
'Vengeance' first enters Era with the 'Electric Idea' to capture a few more Pokemon while she searches for some clue as to how to find the rumored shadow Pokemon lab. Here she meets Nathan whom she dubs 'the freak' and is sent on her way with the supposed directions to the location in question...for a price of course.
"The incessant noise of the city disgusts me...at least the journey wasn't a complete waste of time..."
After She Walked Away from Nathan, Vengeance takes off to find the shadow Pokemon lab but ends up taking a minor stop at an oasis. Here she meets Alaric and hilarity ensues as the ice-queen melts just a little.
"A simple stop to rest proved rather....interesting..."
After a brief stop at the oasis, Vengeance is only beginning to Just Move Forward in finding the shadow Pokemon lab. Here she meets Leon, Kali, Kaito, and 'the fool', Jack, whom introduces himself as BJ. Chaos ensues thereafter as Jack pulls out a gun after Vengeance allowed a very bored Pawniard to attack BJ.
"That fool's ability to show complete ignorance and stupidity never ceases to amaze me..."
"Alias's lab is always so much fun, heh..."
The Party Life is only just beginning as Vengeance gets lost in Party Central only to be convinced by Jack to share a drink with him shortly after Jasmine shows up. Things quickly turn from bad to worse to utterly chaotic as hilarity ensues from the drunken rants that occur.
"....."
"Too much fun. That was just too much fun~"
The Start of Something New
Hilarity ensues as Jack stumbles upon Vengeance as if by chance at Paradise Island and somehow manages to convince her to stay with him. The stoic facade that Vengeance maintains slowly slips away as the time passes until it seems she's questioning whether or not emotion is a weakness in the first place. A few ghosts from the past come back to haunt them as chaos ensues later on, bringing truths that both would prefer to hide to the surface. Vengeance and Jack find that they aren't so different from each other and part on good terms after more events occur that seem to draw the couple together.
"There's....just something about him.... I can't explain it...."
"Jack quote"
Jack runs into a stalker named 'Andy' aka Sen who's initial intent is to rob him. By some twist of fate, Jack agrees to take Sen on a date of sorts but Jack can't seem to get a certain someone off his mind...
"She's...something else.."
By the time Vengeance returns to the lab, it's 3am...and Kali is none too pleased.... This quickly changes however when Kali finds out that Vengeance has been spending time with Jack and hatches a 'plot' of sorts to get Jack to notice Vengeance more.
"Jack....confuses me....why can't I stop thinking about him..."
It's Kali's birthday and she wants the whole world (Leon especially) to Pay Attention to Her. The day starts out well enough but things quickly change as Vengeance comes to the realization that Kali is in fact her sister whom she had supposed to be dead. Kali and Yue teleport away from the lab, leaving a rather numb, depressed Vengeance until Jack decides to show up. It doesn't take long for her to concede to his wishes and goes out with him, sporting one of Kali's new outfits that did in fact attract more attention then Vengeance was expecting.
"I don't know why....but...he makes me smile..."
"Jack quote"
After leaving the lab, Jack and Vengeance travel to Scorch city to have Breakfast. Jack manages to cheer Vengeance out of her prior slump as they talk over pastries and other such sweets. Later they vandalize a few wanted posters before heading towards their next destination.
"Jack is...fun to be around..."
"Jack quote"
Upon arriving at the Crystal Caverns, Jack and Vengeance explore for a time before heading out once again.
"It was fun..."
"Jack quote"
It is Just Another Day as far as Vengeance is concerned. Today just happens to be birthday and she is trying everything to forget that she is yet another year older. Wanting to be alone, Vengeance flies to the Red Mesa in hopes that she will find peace but ends up finding just the opposite as several different people decide to come around.
"I hate birthdays....."
"Jack quote"
The Breaking Point
Jack hears the unfortunate news that his best friend, Logan, has been killed in the recent bombings of the commercial district. On his way to check on one of the various lockers that Logan and he kept, he finds Logan and withdraws from everything as Ripper takes control which results in a quite literal Blood Bath. Vengeance finds Jack just as Ripper has killed someone and is drawn into a memory of her own, effectively losing herself as she attacks Jack to get him to stop killing. Both sustain severe injuries as Vengeance fights to get 'her Jack' back and Ripper attempts to kill Jack in order to remain in control. As luck would have it, both were found and rushed to the hospital just in time to save their lives. It's a bittersweet moment when Jack and Vengeance reunite at the hospital once again as their relationship becomes solidified at long last it seems.
"All I could think about was getting him back...nothing else mattered..."
"I couldn't remember who I was. All I knew was I wanted it all to stop so that he wouldn't kill her."
It's Christmas Eve and Jack is alone on Sol Beach, thinking about the times he had with Logan. It seems Jack is Unable to Fake It this time and put on a happy face. He blames himself for Logan's death and wonders what to do next now that his best friend is gone forever.
"I let my best friend die... What ...am I supposed to do now...."
Kali has gone all out to make sure that this Christmas is the best one yet, even going so far as to decorate the entire lab for the occasion.
"Why is it so cold..."
"Jack quote"
Jack shows up at the lab out of the blue with the sole purpose of visiting Vengeance and telling her everything His Hands have done. Vengeance is at first confused as to why Jack would believe she would leave him after what happened in the aftermath of the bombings. As Jack explains, Vengeance continues to reassure him that she isn't going anywhere but her words seem to fall on deaf ears...at least at first. More of both Jack and Vengeance's past comes to light as the two of them come to realize how similar they really are. Jack eventually believes Vengeance's words at the same moment she remembers her real name: Victoria. After learning that Vicki hasn't been sleeping well, Jack suggests that she live with him to which she agrees after some hesitation. The two fall asleep in each other's arms and wake to their perspective nightmares before deciding to eat and get out of the lab for the day (or possibly the weekend).
"I don't care about the past...I love you Jack...more than anything..."
"Jack quote"
A Little Vacation
Weather Conditions Suck as Jack and Vicki make their way towards the hot springs only to find themselves lost in a thunderstorm. Forced to land, the two find themselves in Tree Top Town where they find shelter with Amaya and Okita. Vicki and Jack stay and talk with their thankfully willing hosts until the storm passes before heading towards the hot springs once again.
"I hate storms......."
"Jack quote"
Jack and Vicki reach the hot springs just as the Light Begins to Fade after their little unexpected detour to Tree Top Town. After checking into a room at the resort, they decide to warm up in the hot springs before heading to bed. Things heat up between the two but as the day draws to a close, Jack and Vicki grow all the more closer because of it. The next morning they spend a little more time at the hot springs before deciding to head out once more.
"I never thought I'd find...anyone like him...."
"Jack quote"
Jack and Vicki are off once Again as they head to the mountains to do a little sight seeing. Unfortunately for them, they get lost in a fog...quite literally and are forced to land. Here they meet a rather unexpected couple, Indi and Luana, who appear to be lost as well. As events unfold, the conversation makes Vicki begin to question herself even more and wonder, not for the first time, why Jack would choose someone as broken as her. Indi and Luana go their separate ways shortly after this while Jack and Vicki teleport somewhere supposedly close to their destination.
"...why me....why am I so lucky to have someone like him...."
"Jack quote"
After teleporting back to civilization, the Fun Times are only just beginning for Jack and Vicki. Shortly after finding an inn, Jack realizes that his wallet had fallen out moments before they had teleported away. Vicki notices this and pays for the room without giving it much thought, not realizing the inner turmoil doing such a thing caused Jack. The two go to sleep without much talk afterwards but Jack can't seem to get to sleep, at least at first. The next morning, Jack drops a figurative bombshell on Vicki as he asks what she would do if he died. As she struggles to understand why he would ask such a thing of her, more events from the past come to light where Vicki is concerned. It appears that neither one of them can have a peaceful life if they didn't 'die' and fool everyone around them that they were really erased from existence. After more talk, Vicki reminds Jack that they were going to look for (or rather choose) a house and thus they leave shortly thereafter.
"I don't care what tomorrow brings...as long as I have him..."
"Jack quote"
After a long, exhausting flight, the couple arrive at Anvilla where Jack explains that he has several Houses in the area, much to Vicki's surprise. In little time they arrive at the house in question much to Vicki's initial surprise. A few more things come to light as the two talk before heading to bed before too long, tired after the long flight there. The next morning, Jack receives a call concerning one of Logan's sisters and rushes off with little explanation before Vicki could ask anymore about the situation.
"Well...they say home is where the heart is..."
"Jack quote"
Now Is the Time...
Things go from bad to worse when Jack Leaves to go find out what's wrong with Jessica, one of Logan's sisters. Little does he know that he's walking into a trap where a bounty hunter would once again shoot him. Luckily for Jack, Vicki had decided to follow him in case she could help him in some way. Upon seeing the bounty hunter shoot Jack, Vicki allows Cedric has 'fun' with the bounty hunter while she tries to help Jack but to no avail. The two teleport away to the nearest hospital, leaving Cedric and Lucifer to fly back to the house where they would supposedly be living now. The doctors manage to save Jack who does wake up for a short time only to slip into a coma thereafter. The doctors have no way of knowing when he will wake up but nevertheless, Vicki chooses to stay by his side lest she miss even the slightest change. Jack does wake up but in a strange turn of events, Third is now in control which Vicki realizes all too quickly. The two try to figure out some way to get Jack back and just about lose hope when Nathan makes a sudden appearance and offers a solution. Time will tell whether or not this last ditch effort will work to save Jack...
"I can't lose him...not now...not ever...."
"Jack quote"
