The Doctor's Final Curtain (3/3)

Erika watched from the window but was greeted by a familiar face, "why didn't you tell me I was missing for 9 months?" The figure sighed and explained everything to her, "what you had to go through wasn't a hard procedure, Joel drugged you and you were kept in karbonation (normal carbonation but if someone is drugged then the effects take it tole while the person is unharmed by what it is that has been drugged into their system) until you were able to regain consciousness and when you did, it brought you here... Many of the people still blame you and hate you as of this day." Erika sat down and realised something, "I'm better off forgotten... What is it that you want me for?" The stranger knelt beside her, "me and my friend Shiva and were members of the Order, we track down any Purgist transmission and we make our move, the current transmission was here, it detailed another member of the Order, and here we were and we found you... We ask you to help rebuild it with us, with you, we may have a chance to find many others that are hiding or on the run like us." Erika had shunned the order because of what happened that day and swore that she would never speak of that day again, "I understand what you had to go through but this is our chance to get back what was ours and hopefully restore balance to the galaxy." Erika looked at a broken bracelet and began to remember receiving it from a young child.

"Okay... But there are some terms, I don't take orders from a man and neither do I allow anyone to tell me what I need to do! Agreed?" The stranger shook her hand and said, "welcome aboard Erika, my name is Chrysler... Let's get moving" both Erika and Chrysler passed the dead body of the mob boss and made their way to Shiva, the pilot, "hey took you long enough and... Oh, who's this fine woman? Captain Shiva at your service." Erika tsk and entered the ship, "making progress..." Chrysler rolled her eyes and entered the ship, "so we go back to Azalu?"(a somewhat parallel planet to Erika's former home Azba, it's more peaceful and there's no violence) " I say we go to Yuarel first then Azalu... It's already dangerous as it is." Shiva departed from Azba while Erika watched as the people were fighting the mob and taking back their city, she felt like having a lazy day so she went to bed knowing that Yuarel would take only 25 minutes to arrive by hyper speed. 20 minutes in and there was a crash in the hyper speed, "we must have hit something... I'm unable to fix the hyper-speed from the inside... I have no choice but to drive us to the planet, it will take 30 hours though and I need my..." Chrysler punched Shiva in the face and told Erika to rest, "it's going to be a while." Erika found it hard to sleep again, she woke up again to find that Shiva and Chrysler were gone and the ship was on auto pilot, Erika looked around the ship to see if she could find them but they were nowhere to be seen.

"Arriving at the location of Necrozma." Erika was confused but she then saw a boy who she found was familiar somehow, she could see in his mind that he was battling someone... It was him with the fallen warrior Azzam Jharothapal, she watched as the boy was being tortured by the past, "YOU ARE NO APPRENTICE OF MINE!!" He let out a scream, Erika woke up looking scared, the boy she saw wasn't just any ordinary boy but it was Cal... "Cal Jarkye Memre... He's alive and he isn't alone." Shiva went to check up on her, "who's not alone? Are you talking about me and... Ow!!!" Erika punched him in the face but Shiva wasn't going to give up, "hey Chrysler, do you have any Arkomanan blades lying around or at least a spare?" Chrysler showed Erika the junk that she took from the destroyed blade, "it was incredible how you destroyed them but fortunately for us, we were able to find parts to make a new blade... I left them at a little workshop at the back, feel free to make your blade by hand." Erika walked to the back to find the parts from the blades she destroyed, she still found it a miracle how she was capable of destroying them. She used the remaining parts of the other blades and made a new one out of scratch. "Woah, I've only seen the masters make the blade by hand but you... You were a doctor and you still know how to make one." Erika shrugged and said, "well it pays off to look after the best Grandmaster of his Generation." Shiva knew who she was implying, "as in Grandmaster Hein?" She shook her head and said, "Grandmaster Wu." Shiva didn't know who Grandmaster Wu was but she knew who she was implying. "As in the original wielder of the blade."
