Corrupted Innocence
What Became Of Him
Gold closed his eyes and kept on repeating the simple phrase over and over again. "One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three..." Those simple words had kept Gold sane for all these years. "One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three..." Gold could feel himself starting to calm down. Gold was actually a bit happy. He had finally knew what had become of his beloved partner Aibo.
/~*~/ /~*~/ /~*~/ /~*~/
Gold had clung to his Aipom when he arrived at the Team Rocket Headquarters. Gold had been very frightened. Aibo had chattered softly to Gold, it had helped him relax. Gold petted Aibo's head before he was separated from his beloved partner. Gold had let out a pained cry. "Aibo!" Gold shouted as they dragged him away. His beloved Pokemon had stayed there, waiting for his master patiently. When Gold had returned Aibo was no longer there.

Gold opened his eyes and saw Giovanni hovering over him. "Did you like my gift my pet~?" Giovanni asked with a twisted grin. Gold didn't say anything. How could he say he liked it? In the box was the mutilated body of Aibo. "One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three..." Gold mumbled. "What are you saying my pet?" Giovanni asked. Gold didn't answer, he kept on repeating the same phrase. "One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three..."

Red sighed before closing his eyes. He didn't want to fail. He wanted to bring back Gold to make the others happy. Silver had taken off, probably to go and take out his anger. Or maybe to cry. Lately Silver had changed greatly and showed many different emotions. Red sighed again before finally deciding to try and find Green. Maybe he would know what to do.

Gold let out a scream as Giovanni grabbed his wrist. He had been told that there was more 'presents' waiting for him. "I DON’T WANT IT!!" Gold screamed. No. No. No. If the presents were what he thought they were than Gold would break. They would finally break him. Gold didn't want to be broken.
/~*~/ /~*~/ /~*~/ /~*~/
Gold glanced over at Proton, he was talking to Archer. Why did they always talk about him while he was in the same room? It just made no sense to Gold. "This one takes a long time to break it seems." Archer said in a hushed voice. It was still loud enough for Gold to hear, he was unsure if he was meant to hear it or not. "Ah! Nonsense! We'll break him soon enough~! Yes it'll be so much fun~! When he breaks I will be there laughing at him." Proton said cheerfully. Gold shivered. He had vowed that he would never let them break him. That he'd always stay strong…

Silver punched a tree. This wasn't fair. This wasn't right! Gold was his. His father didn't deserve to even talk to Gold let alone touch him. It was frustrating and it made Silver feel sick. His father wasn't the best person. He wasn't the greatest person to be around. There was so many things that Giovanni could do to break Gold. To change him, even to corrupt him. Silver didn't want that. No. He wanted Gold to stay the same and to be carefree and with him.
It was hard to return back to Gold's house. Normally the slightly older male would be there. They would laugh and sometimes Gold would talk about what he would do once he grew up. Gold often talked about silly little things and how he would drag Silver alone. Not that Silver would ever say it out loud, he was actually happy to hear that. But now. Now all of that was lost. Every single memory was wasted and useless. Silver saw Crystal open the door and race over.
"So what brings you over here today Silver?" Crystal asked. Silver just let out a grunt before crossing his arms. She of all people knew why he had come. It was to either say whether or not Red had brought back Gold but like always, Crystal didn't bother to speak of the raven haired boy in front of his mother. "Oh no need to be grumpy." Crystal said as she hit Silver on the head with a book. Silver quickly shot a glare at Crystal but she had already turned away.
It had only taken a few minutes to explain after Gold’s mother had left. Crystal just listened intently to Silver speak. She didn't seem surprised or shocked that Red had failed. "Oh well. What’s done is done, y'know?" Crystal said cheerfully. It just bugged Silver about how Crystal was being so nonchalant about this. Didn't she care that their friend was trapped?!

One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Gold took a deep breath. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Gold finally opened his eyes. Horrors awaited him. Gold felt his stomach lurch, threatening to release its contents all over the floor. The bodies of his dead partners were on the floor. Each worse than the one before it. Every single one of them were horribly mutilated. When Gold's eyes fell on Exbo he finally broke down crying and collapsed in a heap. It wasn't fair! Why did this have to happen to him?!
