     Leon's POV

     The utter shock and fear laced around my heart grew to its breaking point upon noticing the nearly dead Zoroark standing directly in front of me.

     "H-Help," Loki whispered, her eyes wincing in pain as she trampled up to the stairs and leaned closer. Her body toppled over mine, and her face now comfortably rested on the fur of my chest, "I-I just wanted...to...explore," she coughed.

     "Loki! You can't just enter unknown areas like that," Sammy yelped at the sight of the Zoroark as she quickly paced up and placed a paw against Loki's back, "are you alright? What happened down there?"

     "S-Someone...s-someone," the Zoroark hiccupped, her tears dampening my fur. A dangerous amount of blood leaked from the arm of Loki.

     "You're hurt..!" Sammy gasped softly, earning no reply from the dark-type.

     "There's medicine in the kitchen," my head shifted to gaze at the Braixen.

     "I'll go get it right now!" Sammy quickly nodded to my words and immediately shifted her body to dash in a specific direction.

     "Now...tell me what happened?" I ran my paw across Loki's hair. Her crying seemed to increase in intensity, if anything, it seemed like it was never going to end.

     "T-There was...this sound...and I went d-down the stairs to loo—" Loki began, but was immediately cut off by the sound of seemingly footsteps resounding near the stairs.

     On queue, I quickly shuffled around and let go of the Zoroark, nudging her away and motioning her to leave. It wasn't until I saw her turn around and limp away was when I paced forward and glared down the dark stairway.

     My heart dropped, and all sounds around came to a quick close. It was like all my functions as a Pokemon came to a halt—the only thing functioning being my eyes and brain.

     "Not even a welcome back?" The very unfortunately familiar Braixen offered me an evil grimace.

     "What the fuck!? You shouldn't be here!" I hissed at the top of my lungs, my arms rising in anger.

     "Your dumbass friend tried to escape—something you all shouldn't be doing! So I decided to take action and beat her to the pulp!" Sam motioned around her sharpened claws.

     The wounds inflicted on Loki—other than the claw marks on her face—didn't correlate to the size of her small claws. However, all questions were answered the second I saw a Gengar standing directly behind her.

     "Do you have anything to do—other than be nothing but a disgrace?" I felt myself grimace back.

     "Someone's angry," Sam chuckled lightly and placed a paw against her chin, "careful there, you might hurt someone if you keep getting recklessly angry like that."

     "I'll hurt you if you don't leave this place!" I hissed loudly. My paws seemed to move on their own and aim directly at the Braixen.

     "Okay," Sam grinned, "do it. I fucking dare you, pussy."

     I did as she asked and felt the aura around my paw build up in energy and power. The blue radiation formed into one large sphere, and before I knew it, it was sent hurling down onto the Braixen's chest. The Gengar behind her disappeared, and she was slammed harshly into a wall by the powerful attack.

     "I-I did it..." I panted, taking a small glance at the two of my paws, "I di—"
