Wow! I'm finally posting! *unified gasp from the crowd*
Nice interlude BTW Arc. Interesting plot twist....keekeekee....
(Whisper: I'm guessing these "Nanites" are pokemon? And if they are, I'm also guessing that Disaran is one of them?)

I watched with a mixture of surprise and horror as Racalexand literally exploded in brilliant flashes of red and white light. When I looked back at my father....I realized that the person I was looking at now was not my father at all. He looked the same...but there was something about him that was different than before. Even though this strange new power he used had defeated Racalexand, it somehow frightened me. His bright red eyes, the strange, foreign language he had suddenly begun to spout...it was as if something had possessed him. And had a gut feeling that it wasn't anything good....
As the last remains of Racalexand blew away in the wind, the bubble prison that surrounded me immedietly faded away, as did the barrier that had held back Xiaro and the others. At first, nobody made a move, but as soon as an eerie silence fell that was punctured only by the sound of Father collapsing to the ground, Mother immedietly stood up and started to run to him. I quickly flew to her side and followed her. Even from the smallest glimpse of her face I could tell that just standing up was painful for her, but her love and concern for Father seemed to keep her going. Xiaro joined us just as we reached father's unconcious body.
Just looking at him I felt my eyes swelling with tears, but I managed to fight them back. Crying now wouldn't do anything....I had to be strong like Father.
"Arc? ARC?! Arctic, please SAY something!" mother shouted, propping up the unconcious Arctic in her arms, also trying to hold back tears.
**"Please...please wake up, father...** I thought desperately. I watched as both mother and father slowly morphed back into their normal Mew forms. Now that Racalexand was gone, the spell he had cast over them was gone and they were automatically shifted out of their human forms.
Mother was now hunched over father and holding him protectivly. The sight was heart-wrenching so I looked away. I averted my gaze by looking up at Xiaro, who was now hovering to the ground. Then I finally asked the question that I knew everyone ws thinking.
**"Xiaro...what was that all about? What happened to Fath---Arctic, just now?"**
"A fine question, young Mew, and one that definetly deserves an answer. But unfortunetly you won't be to get one from me. Your guess is as good as mine."
I sighed and looked down at the ground. There were too many questions that we didn't have the answers to already. Now we had another one.
"I suppose the best thing to do for now is to wait for Arctic to awaken. Then we can ask him..."
Somehow I doubted that father would know the answer either. But there was nothing else to do. Just then...a thought passed through my mind and my head jerked up. I quickly spun around, turning my head left and right.
"What's wrong, Byakko?" Mother asked, a concern look on her face.
**"Jewel! What about Aunt Jewel?! Didn't Repturroc say that she would be released from whatever was possesing her if we defeated Racalexand?!"**
