[Video/Action]

[A sudden bright light and when it faded away Eagle found he was no longer on the route he had been traveling on. ]

What?? This is… New Barktown, isn’t it?

[His Pokemon trio wandered around near his feet as if trying to confirm this sudden change had actually happened. But a glance at the tiny City was enough to confirm the truth.]

How were we able to teleport here? Are the Abra able to do something like this…?

[But, it was even better than that! He looked down and suddenly realized that there was a diminutive rounded machine sitting on the back of his gloved hand. With a cocky smile he added triumphantly. ]

My weapon is back as well!

How much younger. [[This is a very serious question. So serious, it doesn't have a question mark to it.]]

[Why so serious? That is a very interesting change.

But, Eagle does his best to describe the Bakura he knows including age. ]

Why do you ask? You must know him…

[[Listens intently, frowning a bit. This.. really shouldn't be possible. Even the City, there was never...

... unless...]]

Where is he now? Is he still here?

[That was a terrible thought… He hadn’t been able to look for Bakura once he found himself all the way back here. Where was he…? Not left behind along the trail hopefully! ]

I’m not sure. Something strange happened and I don’t know where Bakura ended up…

[But, that really doesn’t change the fact that… ]

You keep dodging my question. Why are you so interested in him?

[[Crap. He runs an agitated hand through his hair. Oh hey. If Eagle's ever noticed that scar on the back of Bakura's hand, there's one that looks awful similar on this guy's same hand. Just a lot more faded then Bakura's became even after the magical healing touch of Johto.

There's a long pause. How to even...]]

He's... really important to a specific group of people where I come from.

[Maybe be caught eyeing that scar more than a little suspiciously… but he wants to know more about this group so. ]

What specific group? What would they want him for?

His family.

[[that was the simplest way to put it]]

... is this place safe?

[Oh good. A group like that… if it were true… at least Bakura wouldn’t be in danger from them. ]

Usually it is. There are Pokemon around that can be hostile but they usually aren’t too difficult to defeat. I am just worried that I lost sight of him and the weapons have suddenly reappeared…

[A glance at his hand. That could be bad. ]

There weren't any before? How about powers?

I haven’t run into anyone who has powers yet…

[Eyeing this guy again. ]

So I can’t say. But, if Bakura still has his Pokemon with him like I do then he should be alright.

[Eagle has no idea… that he doesn’t. ]

Not alone then.. good.

[[God, this was weird. It was probably an alternate universe version, unless he'd been here first and not recalled it later... but that was a depressing though.]]

Would it be bad if he was alone?

[Beyond Eagle’s own concern about it… of course. ]

Being alone would be the worst thing. Especially how I was then.

[[whoops]]

[AH HA! You finally confirmed it!! Just ignore that sneaky smirk.]

And how were you back then, Bakura?

[[Oh shi--

There is a moment of pure panic. Found out. No good, no good, defense mode!

One hand goes to grasp the handle of what looks like a very odd flashlight at his side, while there's an invisible ripple as he casts a shield around him.

There's a long, tense moment as looks at Eagle as if expecting to be attacked.]]

[The ‘flashlight’ … looks a lot like an Autozam laser sword. But, Eagle doesn’t seem very concerned as his new companion slips into a defensive posture. ]

Do you think I am going to attack you? [He chuckles. ] Didn’t I just say we were friends here?

Though, I am a little concerned how you managed to grow up so fast… Maybe that earlier light had something to do with it…

...

[[seems a little unsure. They weren't in the City any more, so...

Still. The shield stays. And his hand is still close by the lightsaber. just in case.]]

Can't be too careful. [[half mumbles, looking a bit to the side.]] I don't remember being here before so I don't... [[trails off. It was obvious Eagle know his youngerself, but still...]]

[Eagle smiles and raises his hand to look at the small device resting there. He gets to do something he has been missing since he arrived in Johto! Just running a little scan of this person to find out more about him. It doesn’t hurt at all but it does reveal some interesting things. ]

Is that magic you are using to shield yourself? A friend of mine can do that too.

And that weapon of yours… it is some kind of laser sword after all.

I didn’t think Earth had this kind of technology. [Said knowing full well it did not. ]
Who are you fighting against?

[[Looks even more wary, fingers curling around the lightsaber handle. He really doesn't like how this has gone. He's not in control of the situation at all and that could cost everybody back home...]]

...the people trying to kill us.

[It probably doesn’t help at all that Eagle had a tendency to get cocky in situations where he knows he has the upper hand. ]

Who would want to kill you?

[Ever so adorably tilting his head to one side. ]

[[Not the best way to assure him you're a friend there, Eagle]]

[[has a brief expression of "Are you shitting me how can you not--" before the "right. Not in the City" kicks in again. Exhale. Hand through his hair. Fuck.]]

Far too many people who think we're a threat.

[Yes… well… He does enjoy teasing people. It cant be helped. ]

I’m sorry, I don’t understand why anyone would think you were a threat. Just because of that weapon?

[[hair through hand again. really doesn't want to have to explain the whole mess...]]

It's complicated. And it's not just me. It's everyone else the Porter brought in. And the Porter itself, really. [[sigh]]

[ All of this is so confusing to poor Eagle though! How did Bakura get so old?! ]

I never pictured you as a fighter. It must be something very dangerous that encouraged you to take up that kind of skill.

[And he is curious… how good at fighting you are, Bakura~. ]

[[he still sucks at it. His main techniques involve attempts to blind, disable and then run the fuck away and call for back up.]]

[[and a long exhale and he just suddenly looks so tired]] It wasn't a choice... It was either that or run away and I couldn't leave my friends. Not when they needed me.
