    Threadmarks: The exodus

    The morning felt surprisingly calm considering everything that had happened in the past few days. First Elio had come back, then Team Skull had came to collect him. Kukui had sacrificed himself for them to get away, then Hau had to go get himself captured. Why had everything been going so wrong...

    Threadmarks: A feel for cryogenics

    The room was dark, with the only sound able to be heard was the faint sound of ringing in Haus ears, as well as a splitting headache. The smell of salt was in the air, signifying that he was near the ocean, but just where? Was he dead? Where is Elio and the others? Are they okay? Is he okay? All...

    Threadmarks: Loss

    "How... did you come to look like Lusamine?" "Do you really want to know?" "Yes... we can use this information against the Foundation if we must." "Fine..." It seemed like he held his breath for a moment. "I was brought to the depths of Aether Paradise after the amputation... we were on...

    Threadmarks: a somber reunion

    Elio didn't hesitate and got through the opening, but not before quickly bringing back the Beast-Killer, and was running. He was running for his life, all the while the grunts had brought out their own pokémon, and he had Raticate as well as Salandit nipping at his heels. But at a moments...

    Threadmarks: Shedding your halo

    It sounds like you..." she went out of sight for a moment, grabbing the mirror. "Want me to show you what you've become again?" "No... no... please..." he was trying to break free of his restraints again, once again finding they wouldn't budge. "NO-" "Hush Elio... just calm down, no need for...

    Threadmarks: Echoes of the past

    The room was quiet. The only sounds that were breaking the silence were the whirring and fans of the machines that dotted the walls. Scientists, many of them wearing hazmat suits, seemed to be scribbling down notes onto their clipboards. One was even typing some kind of report on a computer by...

    Threadmarks: Chains on the brain

    His sleep was dreamless, no nightmares of the experiments, nor fake memories of being a street rat. Nothing, nothing but darkness. Might that be better? There's a chance that a dreamless sleep might be better for him. Hours later as the sun was setting, his eyes fluttered back open. His mouth...

    Threadmarks: Broken minds

    The morning sun had never been so beautiful. The artistry of nature was something that mankind, nor any sapient species throughout the cosmos would be able to replicate. Whether that be a sunrise over the Alolan sea, the soft bioluminescent glow of an alien forest, or the crashing waves of the...

    Threadmarks: Fall from Grace

    When he made it to the conservation area, he would dive off of the bridge almost immediately, tumbling into the underbrush. The grass stained the pitch white hoodie he had been wearing, but that didn't matter to him. None of that mattered now. Sure, Lusamine might have cared about how "perfect"...

    Threadmarks: A devil disguised as an angel

    'What makes this worth it?' 'How do you know she's not a puppet on a string like you once were?' 'Would she be too far gone to save?' 'Are you being an idiot by not just running away?' 'No. No. You're not an idiot. Yö's aren't idiots. Look at your mother. She was a scientist. Though look at...

    Threadmarks: Secrets in the abyss

    "Mother... she put me through this? No. No she couldn't have. She's been so kind to me!" He remembered that she almost slit his throat, trying to kiss him, her watching him be dipped in the FFE. He remembered everything she tried to snuff out. "She... actually had me put through this... how...

    Threadmarks: The descent

    "Who- who are you?" "Who I am, who we are doesn't matter. You wouldn't remember who you are, or who I am. What matters now is rediscovering who YOU are." "What on Earth are you talking about??" "You are right to wonder if your memories are fake. Those memories keep you bound to your floating...

    Threadmarks: Could our minds lie?

    They always say that reality is a story that the mind tells itself. An artificial construct conjured from millions of synapses firing at once. Reality sometimes is not what it seems. Our senses lie to us, our environments don't really look as they seem. Color comes from light coming into our...

    Threadmarks: What's in your head?

    After everything that had happened over the past two weeks, Aether Paradise seemed peaceful for once. There was always a constant stream of tourists, some needing to get their minds off of the storm, some from other parts of the world. The employees cared for the Pokémon in the conservation...

    Threadmarks: Righting their wrongs

    "Shh! I think it might be starting!" The scene was on Aether Paradise, in the mansion specifically. The Camera was following Lusamine, as she gave a tour of the mansion, as well as discussing the recent events that happened in Alola. The hurricane, the crime wave from Team Skull, the death of...

    Threadmarks: Alarming news

    Elio had turned out much different than what Lusamine first expected him to be. Sure, they had succeeded in wiping his memory, and he thought he was her biological son, but he acted nothing like she wanted him to. She had him programmed to be dedicated to her, and to her alone, yet he didn't...

    Threadmarks: Her perfect son

    The time had come for Elio to start his new life. Lusamine had been waiting for what felt like ages, but in reality it was only like one or two days. Even if Elio had his memories ereased, Faba and Lusamine both seemed to realize that they had forgotten one step. The fake memories hadn't been...

    Threadmarks: A new heir

    Ever since Lillie and Gladion had arrived at Kukuis lab, everyone there had been discussing what had happened to Elio and where he could have went. Hau and Lillie were remaining hopeful that he would someday come back to them, they were optimists you could say. Gladion and Kukui were more...

    Threadmarks: Mother and son

    Even after the events of the past few weeks, Aether Paradise never seemed to change. You could say it was almost as if the artificial island was preserved in time, as it was really the only "island" to be unaffected by the storm. Even MeleMele had been affected somewhat, thanks to the refugees...
