Distorted Remnant: A Remake of "Distorted Reality"

Chapter 36: Mistral

*Y/n POV*

'You know what, I'm confused.'

I looked forwards and saw a large city, with large shops and houses.

'It took six chapters to get to Menagerie, but just one chapter later, we're in Mistral.'

"Hey Y/n," I heard Sun call, "You comin'?"

I turned toward the blonde monkey guy, letting lose a glare. I really didn't like him and his constant hitting on Blake was pissing my off.

"Shut it, boy."

He turned and began to walk with everyone else, and I brought up the rear. Yang, Neo, and Darkrai slowed down, and walked with me.

"You okay Dad?" Darkrai asked, "You seem a little more grumpy than usually."

"I'm fine." I growled.

"No you're not," Yang said, "What's got you so angry?"

"I'm fine, really."

"It's Sun, isn't it?"

Apparently I gave it away, as they all started nodding.

"That makes sense," Yang said, "He's acting like a complete asshole."

<You'd have to be a fool not to notice him flirting with Blake.>

"Yep," Darkrai agreed, "I mean, he never gives it up. It's like he-"

"I get it!" I interrupted, "And it's pissing me off!"

"Don't worry babe," Yang said, wrapping my arm in hers, "I know Blake. She won't do anything with him."

I took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself.

"You're right," I said, "I know that Blake is better than that. But I still hate him."

"We all do." Darkrai said, while Neo and Yang nodded.

I stood in front of the shop, looking up at the small sign that sat against the wall. It was a tiny place, tucked between two other shops. It was also incredibly dirty.

"Is this really the place?" I asked.

"Yep." Darkrai answered.

"Why the hell is it so dirty?"

"Well, let's jut say some of the stuff here isn't exactly... legal."

"Didn't I ever tell you not to talk to criminals?"

"No, I don't remember that."

"Good."

With that exchange over,  I pushed the door open, and we all walked inside.

The first thing I saw was a wall of weapons. Pistols, rifles, even a bazooka. The second thing I saw was a small bell, above which was a sign that read, "ring for service."

Darkrai walked up and rang the bell a few times, and a voice called from a back room.

"Who the f*ck is it!?"

"It's Darkrai and Neo! We brought some family and friends!"

The door opened, and a man walked out. His right eye was completely robotic and he carried a gun on his waist.

"Hey Darkrai, what's up?" He said.

"I came for my order." Darkrai said.

"Right, right!" The guy said, "I got it right here."

As the guy began to rummage around behind the counter, and Darkrai turned to us.

"This is the engineer," He explained, "He owns the shop."

"I got it!" The engineer said, placing a large package on the counter, "Here ya go Dark!"

He unwrapped the package, and revealed a robotic arm. Yang and everyone came over and looked at it.

"Woah," She said, "That's nice."

"Yep, she's a beauty," The engineer said, "My newest creation. With a shotgun built in and the ability to be infused with dust, this baby is one of the most powerful things on the market."

There was a crash, and my attention was ripped to the back of the room. Sun was standing there sheepishly, next to a stack of weapons that had fallen off the wall.

"You damn idiot," I said, "Stand in the corner, and don't touch anything, can you do that without f*cking up?"

He nervously chuckled, and went to stand in the corner. I turned back to the robotic arm, as they began to fit it onto Yang.

As it was all plugged in, the engineer turned it on, and the lights began to glow. I watched as Yang began to move it, as if it were completely natural.

"Woah!" She exclaimed, "This is awesome!"

I couldn't help but smile, as I watched Yang start to freak out about her new arm.

A few hours later, Darkrai, the engineer, and I all sat around a round table, playing a round of cards and drinking. Everyone else was asleep in a hotel nearby, as it was about midnight.

"You guys are weird, you know that?" The engineer said.

"We know." Darkrai said simply.

"You guys remind me of that weird thing they found in Atlas."

I gave him a strange look, "What's that?"

"Yeah, they found some type of robot," He said, "Apparently it appeared after a massive portal opened up."

I looked at Darkrai, and we both knew that it was probably connected to when Mewtwo appeared in Atlas.

"What does it look like?"

Apparently it's this robot bug," He said, "Shortly after it was found, some scientist stole it and went rogue."

"Where is he?" I asked impatiently.

"Umm, hidden somewhere here in Mistral, apparently."  He said, "I'm pretty sure this is just rumors."

"Yeah well," I said, "We've dealt with rumors in the past, that turned out to be true."
