Darling In the Franxx: 1000 Years later

Taking The Dive (Part II)

What's this? Another new chapter already? That's right, chapter 5 is already here!. Sorry for taking so long with the last one, I obviously had some things going on and such, but that's all behind me now. Here's Chapter 5 of DITF: 1000 Years Later, enjoy!

Silence...

Darkness...

Those were the only things could make out. There was no sound, there were no smells, no sights, nothing except total darkness and absolute quiet. 

"Why can I see anything? Why can't I hear anything?" Hiro thought to himself 

Hiro looked around, but all he could see was black. Hiro raised his arm, he could feel it move, and yet, he could not see it. 

"What is this place?" Hiro thought to himself as he looked around

Hiro called out to Iota to see if she was near, but as he moved his mouth, no words came out. No sound could be heard. 

"Dammit...what's going on? Why can't I see myself, why can't I talk?" Hiro wondered 

Suddenly, a small speck of light could be seen, a small dot in the darkness, growing larger as if it were coming closer and closer.

Hiro suddenly felt what could only be described as wind, pulling him closer and closer to the light until the seemingly endless darkness turned to light...

...and that was when Hiro opened his eyes...

Everything at first was blurry, he was unable to make anything out. But slowly, the fuzziness faded, and Hiro could soon see the he was lying in bed in his own room. 

"This is...my room?" Hiro said to himself as he looked around 

He could see his desk, his pictures and posters, everything was exactly the same as he remembered. As Hiro was looking around, he heard movement next to him. When he turned to see what had made the noise, he saw Iota sitting up in his bed, looking at him in confusion 

A few seconds of staring went by before they realized the situation they were in

"AAAAAHHHH!" They both screamed as they both fell out of Hiro's bed

"Iota?! What the hell are you doing in my bed?!" Hiro asked demandingly 

"Hiro?! Wait...what am I doing in your bed?!" Iota asked loudly 

"I don't know, you tell me," Hiro said as he began to calm down a bit 

As the two stood there in Hiro's room, they both remembered the situation they had been in before.

"Weren't we in those chairs a minute ago? How did we end up in my bedroom?" Hiro said as he paced around his room

"Beats me, last thing I remember was sitting in those chairs as well," Iota said as she sat in Hiro's desk chair 

The two thought for a moment until Hiro thought of an answer 

"Wait...Kitaroshi said that we would be transported into a world made of our memories...could this be it?" Hiro asked Iota as he turned to face her 

Iota looked around the room for a moment before responding.

"I wouldn't know, even if this is a memory, I don't think it's mine," Iota said with a shrug 

"Yea, that's true...it sucks that there isn't any clear way to tell. Everything looks the same as it always has, there's nothing here that's out of-"

"Hiro! C'mon buddy, you'll be late if you don't get your butt downstairs!" A voice said from downstairs as it interrupted Hiro

"That voice..."Hiro said a he slowly turned to face the door
