The Secrets We've Kept

Chapter 1

  Cosmic and Choas arrived at Dr.Damien's lab. He had just finished working and got Techno and PaintedStitcher to sleep for once. "Alright boys, let's go." He said, taking out a hand held device and pushed a few buttons. "Now I haven't worked out all the kinks so, this may tickle a bit." Damien stated. Before they could even react, Damien started the device and they all got teleported into Cyber's Lab.

  Cosmic flinched, wobbling over a bit, dizzy. Choas helped him regain balance while Damien threw his hands up victoriously. They laughed at him, and went silent when they heard metal clangs and clunks coming from the experiments room. "Should we investigate...?" Cosmic asked. Damien thought for a bit, and nodded, "They could be in trouble..." Damien said.

  "How cliche.." Choas mumbled, walking past them and straight to the room, Cosmic and Damien following him. As they walked into the room, they gasped, seeing Cyber and Alancy fighting with a rather tall skeleton. There was a lot of shouting and papers were scattered about.

  "ENOUGH!" The tall skeleton yelled in a deep echoy voice, making time stop with his clock necklace. He took out the elixir from his pocket, pouring it onto Cyber. "There. That'll do." He grinned, looking past Cyber and seeing Cosmic, Choas, and Damien, frozen in time as well. "Ah~ your friends seem to have come right on time~" he chuckled darkly, grabbing his clock weapon and shifting the nob behind it, teleporting everyone and laughing evily.

  He snapped his fingers, unfreezing them all and dissapearing. Cyber growled, grabbing a rock and throwing it in the area the skeleton was floating over. "FUCKING COWARD!!" She yelled in frustration. Alancy put a hand on her shoulder as she sighed, calming down. She turned to Cosmic, Choas, and Damien, glaring, "AND WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING HERE!?!" She yelled at them, floating over.

Damien and Choas flinched, pushing Cosmic forward. Cosmic gulped, becoming nervous. "W-well.... For starters... Time has been resetting itself by minutes and we've been... Repeating things we've already done." He stated, "We tried to call you but you didn't answer, so we called Alancy but he seemed kinda... Panicky... So we came over because... we were worried." He said. "YOU MEAN YOU WERE WORRIED!" Choas called out.

  Cosmic glared down at his older brother, huffing, "Ok. I was worried." He said. Cyber sighed and pat his back, "it's fine..." She whispered and looked around. "Hey, where are we?" Alancy asked. Cyber looked around at the delightful looking trees and the sun rays shining through the leaves. "The entrance of Enchanter's Forest?" She asked quietly, rubbing her skull.

  "Well, we should get moving then.. I don't know if he..." Cyber trailed off and shook her head, walking into the forest. Everyone else looked at each other before following her. After what seemed like hours of walking, the group made it to a very tall tree. "Hey, this is where Ghosty lives." Alancy commented.

  "Should we say 'hi'?" Damien asked. Alancy shrugged and nodded. "Uh, heheh... I'll stay down here..." Cosmic said and plopped himself down underneath the tree. "Yea. Me too." Choas said and sat next to Cosmic. Damien shrugged, "I'll tag along." He said. "Alright, let's go then." Cyber said and floated to the top of the tree. Alancy and Damien climbed up to the little treehouse and rested when they climbed inside.

  Cyber was rummaging around through all the papers on the table. "Hey Cy, its rude to intrude on other people's business." Alancy scolded, walking over. "Guys... Check this out..." Cyber said, skimming through the pages that were seemingly written quickly and sloppily with tear stains on them.

  Alancy read through a few as Damien walked over and began reading as well. "Al... I don't think... I don't think we're in our universe." Cyber stated, "Or maybe our timeline?" She questioned. "I... I think I died here!" Alancy said, shocked, "but h-how!?"

  Damien read through a bit more of the pages, "It seems that in this universe, you died in the war, stabbed to death by Zane as it reads here but, its hard to tell..." He said, needing to turn the page slightly to read in properly.

  Alancy shuddered, "Don't remind me of... Him..." He growled. Cyber sighed, shaking her head, "Then we shouldn't be in here, come on, let's get out of here befor--", She cut herself off hearing something get dropped at the door way. She turned swiftly and stared silently at Ghost Flower who was standing at the door in shock.

  Alancy and Damien looked at her as Alancy began sweating. Ghost Flower teared up, beginning to cry. "A-alancy...?" She asked, stepping forward. "Y-you can talk?" He asked. "Cyber.. Made me a.. New voice device.." She whispered, looking at Cyber. Cyber whispered something to Alancy who then whispered the same thing to Damien.

  "Is this a good idea?" Damien asked. Cyber nodded, "She has to know..." She said. "Know what!?" Ghost Flower asked, wanting to go hug Alancy. "Well... You see... There's something happening in our world and we were uh... Transported here... The alancy your thinking of... Is technically still dead." She said.

  Ghost Flower slowly looked down, "O-oh..." She mumbled. Cyber frowned, feeling sorry for the poor girl and hugged her arms, looking away. Alancy hesitated before slowly walking over to her and hugging her. She began whimpering as she hugged back, crying softly into his chest.

"Please stop crying..." Alancy mumbled and sighed. "I-i miss you..." She whispered. Alancy frowned more and slowly pulled away, "We have to leave now... Ok? I promise, it'll be ok..." He said, patting her head and leaving. Damien stood awkwardly for a moment before following Alancy. Cyber stared at her for a moment before floating over to her.

  "Hey... Where is the other me?" She asked. Ghost Flower wiped her tears away and sighed, "She's in her lab I think? She hasn't come out in... 10 months now...?" She said questioningly. "Oh my. Thank you!" She said and left.
