(A/N: Moien! If you've read my profile, you already know about the crash, and how this is the only surviving piece of work I have. If you didn't, well now you know. This is a collection of random moments from my Pokemon Black experience, in no particular order.

CHAPTER 0: PROLOGUE

If you think that you had a bad childhood, you don't know jack. Have YOU ever been caught up in illegal activity, gotten your friends murdered, and forged a grudge that would tear a country apart, all at the tender age of 9? I didn't think so. But I have.

My best friends were murdered by Team Plasma's prince when I was 9. I'll tell you how it happened.

FLASHBACK, 5 YEARS AGO

"Come on, guys! It's not much further!" I said, tearing along a beaten path. Adam and Cole trailed behind me.

Adam Sennen was the older of my friends. He had black hair with a turquoise trim, and his bangs were orange. His hair stood up in two upward points on either side of his head. He wore black shorts and a white T-shirt, with a thin triangle of brass hanging around his neck.

Cole Ryuzaki looked almost the same, except his hair tips were pointed downwards, and he was much shorter than Adam. He wore a black T-shirt and white shorts. Between the two, you could mistake them for twins. But they weren't related at all.

"Slow down, Bennu! We all can't run as fast as you!" Adam shouted.

I broke through the bushes and found that the cove was... different than the other times we had visited.

The clear, sparkling water was murky with stirred up silt. Most of the trees, which cast a beautiful emerald light when the sun shown through them were cut down. There was orange safety fence and metal fence along the shore of the pond, and a building loomed over the pond.

But the most startling thing was the people who had suddenly shown up. They were dressed up in white and blue mideival style cloaks. Almost all of them had orange hair, which puzzled me. The people shouted orders at each other.

"Who are they? Cole said.

"I dunno. Let's ask them." I said, walking up to one. I heard Adam advise me against it, but ignored him.

"Excuse me, but what are you doing here? This is kinda our secret spot." I asked one of the people. He turned towards me with a glare.

"Not anymore, it's not." he replied coldly.

"What do you mean?" I cocked my head to the side.

"This land is under the ownership of Team Plasma now. We have permission to kill trespassers."

"But that's not fair! We were here first!" I argued.

"We're just following orders from our prince." the man declared.

"I wanna speak to your prince!" I shouted, rage beginning to well up inside me.

"YOU don't get to speak to anyone! Go away before I make you regret living." he said. I stared into those cold eyes with my own.

"No!" I shouted, before pushing past him. I ran into the building.

"Bennu, come back here!" Adam shouted, knocking him to the ground, following me at breakneck speed.

"No! I'm gonna fight for our spot, and nothing's gonna stop me!" I shouted.

"We've got a red alert! Code 573DP! Trespassers!" I heard a person shout.

CONTROL ROOM

"We've got a red alert! Code 573DP! Trespassers!" the intercom announced.

"Kill them." I said.

WITH BENNU

We ducked into a closet, just in time to see a mob of soldiers run past. These guys were fierce.

"Okay, we should be safe here." I gasped, out of breath from running so much.

"Safe? SAFE?! Bennu, we're anything BUT safe! We're in a building we don't know, with people who hate us hunting us down to kill us! What were you thinking?!" Adam shouted.

"Calm down. We know how she is." Cole said. I looked at both of them.

"I know. I'm sorry I got you two into this. I just couldn't bear to lose this cove. It's where we met." I sighed. A moment passed between us.

"Oh, alright. We'll go see the prince. But then we're getting outta here!" Adam said gruffly.

I smiled. "Thank you."

PLASMA CONTROL PANEL

"Hey! We've got a bone to pick with you! We want our spot back!" I yelled, crashing through the door. The room was very dimly lit, but I could see movement.

"Oh, but I'm afraid I can't do that, Bennu." a hollow voice said. I was thrown off by the fact that this person knew my name.

"Wha- How do you know my name?!" I said.

"We've been watching you three. Bennu, and the two lovebirds. I will say it's an odd thing to see, two boys in love with each other, but I shouldn't judge."

This threw me off big time.

"Oh, you hadn't noticed? I thought you would have been more observant, Bennu."

"You-you're lying!" I shouted.

"Well, if you don't believe me, ask them yourself."

I turned to Adam and Cole. "Guys, is this true?"

They looked at each other, then back at me.

"Yes, Bennu. We've been in love for a while now. We were going to tell you some day, but we never knew how you would take it."

I was agape with shock. It wasn't as if I was against this kind of thing, but it hit me really hard.

"Are we all clear now? Now you can all die together. Zorua!" he commanded. A small black fox like Pokemon jumped over the desk, its blue eyes glaring at us.

"Zorua, kill them." he said. A shadow ball gathered in its mouth. I stood in front of Adam and Cole, ready to risk my life protecting them.

"No!" Adam shouted, pushing me aside and nocking me to the ground. When I looked back, I couldn't believe my eyes.

The shadow ball entered Adam's body, burst through him, punched its way through Cole's body, and exited in a gory mess of blood. Some of it splashed on me. They fell to the ground, looks of mortification on their dying faces.

"ADAM! COLE! NO!" I screamed, rushing over to their bodies. Huge holes were torn in their torsos, blood was everywhere.

"Adam... Cole..." I whimpered, sliding their eyelids shut. Adam's necklace had snapped off, which I picked up. It was soaked in his blood. I started to cry, and blood soaked my legs and skirt.

"See what happens when you go against Team Plasma Bennu? You die." he said.

"Y-you..." I muttered. I choked on my own tears, unable to speak any more.

"Run away, Bennu. Run away and never come back." he said. I ran off, mortified, scarred, and anguished all at once.

That was 5 years ago. I am 14 now. Sure, I made new friends, but they weren't the same. The time has come for me to start my Pokemon journey. But my resentment still burns, for that day, I forged a grudge that will not be destroyed. Instead of becoming a Pokemon master, like everyone else does, I will hunt down Team Plasma's prince and murder him, just as he murdered my friends.

My name is Bennu Tamaki. This is my life.
