ALTERNATE NAVI, NEW EPISODE.

***In the Inner Outskirts of Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans',..

***Clingford's Academy Male Dormitory..

Lying down under blankets in his top bunk, Navi has his gaze to the roof, as he thinks about the kind of day he has gone through today.

Today seemed a little longer than usual for Navi with its highlight still being his trip to the Mana Chambers.

His experience from the mana-chambers was not fun nor was it exciting but it was different and in a good way. Those Mana-chambers truly are amazing.

His tiredness from sleepless nights was replaced by an overdose of energy and his body feels stronger and his mind feels lighter though.. that is all to it.

He had finished his session in the chambers before the afternoon fully set-in and with his body brimming powerfully as energy pumps through his veins,.. Navi immediately goes from the chamber straight into practice in order to burn some of the excess energy off.

He rides through the intensity of three normal martial lessons and one elite lesson while hoping from one straight into the other.

It isn't until the moon is out that Navi had finally felt exhausted enough to get to his bunk for rest.

With a clearer mind, Navi has space to think about himself a little deeper.

Overall, he is not too happy about how things are going with himself though he is not sad either. What he feels about his current self isn't bittersweet, it is something more subtle though Navi does not like the feeling one bit.

When she was alive, Navi's mother has told him to live life instead of living through life and right now, Navi does not feel like he's honouring her words one bit.

Despite his calm face and introverted nature.. Navi deeply craves thrill.

Something to get his heart pounding and his brain racking. Something to push him to new limits.. something to make him laugh and something to make him cry.

Something to make him shout and something to make him roar!.

Something intense enough to make him run!, and fiery enough to make him fly.

Navi feels his heart pounding just thinking of something like this because although he can live with it, Navi is not the biggest fan of peace.

He by far prefers Chaos.

He is not going to make his way out of the free prison known as the Outskirts by just living like everyone else. Navi realises this and so, all that's on his mind is a way to push through his potential.

A way to push himself so much into chaos that escaping the Outskirts would be his only way out. He also needs the power and drive to chase through this so called only-way-out.

Maybe he's being too forward with things as he's after all only twelve years old though seeing an alternate version of himself in his dreams is fuelling Navi up with a desire to push himself forward.

With these thoughts swimming in Navi's mind for hours, drowsiness slowly creeps in though he does not attempt to fight it.

Slowly, drowsiness gently washes Navi off his counciousness and then into the realm of sleep with the last thoughts on his concious mind being a wish to the very world to bring into his life the word called 'extreme'.

He is willing to face whatever comes at him as a result of his wish but the question is 'Would he be able to handle the ship that crashes into his shores?'.

Navi's sleeping body and mind had no time to ponder on this question as his muscles suddenly tenses up in pain thus marking the beginning of a familiar torturous routine.

His grip tightens against his bedsheets as breathing starts to become more and more difficult for him.

***Navi's Subconsciousness..

In his dreams, Navi is back to a familiar and harsh setting. The voices, the emotions, the pain and the blurry scenes.

Everything is the same except the fact that he is not on the endless snowy ground like last time.

This time, Navi is somehow underwater!..

And he's Drowning!.

He can see the rays of sunlight at the surface of the water as he's inexistent body slowly sinks lower and lower into the endless blue.

He tries to reach out for the surface but the resistance of the water would not let him as air bubbles rushes out of his mouth and nose.

Everything is getting blurry though the persistent voices and emotions soon starts while becoming clearer with each passing second as they weigh down on him like an iron anchor that's slowly pulling him down to his doom!.

In reality, Navi's grip on his blankets are extremely tight though all of a sudden, his fingers loses most of their strenght with his chest straining painfully.

He seems to be desperately trying to take in some air though his body is completely unresponsive as his neck begins to show slightly blue veins under the moonlight coming in from the rooms single window.

Navi has never ever felt so close to death before as he feels himself slowly sinking deeper into the water with the overlapping voices finally quieting down a little as a scene playing in his mind slowly gets clearer.

This scene seems to pull him out of the waters as his lungs expands with a loud but choked gasp that he takes both in his dream and in reality.

"AAUUUUGH!.", Navi breaths loudly.

*...*PANT*..*PANT*.. *COUGH*..*PANT*.

Despite not truly having a body, Navi finds himself on the floor. He's coughing and panting furiously with the bitter taste of impending death and fear still on his heart.

He does not even bother to look around the new scene as his instincts for air and life are still in motion.

This 'episode' is not as painful physically but it's still a lot worse that the rest.

The fear Navi had felt as he sank closer to his doom while being accompanied by the voices that seemed to pull him down further to the inevitable has efinitely created a new trauma!.

With a final deep breath in an attempt to calm his mind, Navi finally takes in his new surroundings or rather,.. point-of-view.

It is.. different.

It is late at night. A rather pleasant one as the pale crescent moon hangs like a silent lantern in the veil of dark that's littered by a canopy of stars.

The other person who Navi sees as an alternate version of himself is currently standing high above the ground, on a building to be specific as he looks towards another set of buildings.

The buildings in this setting has distinct architecture like nothing Navi has ever seen before.

It is a prison setting with net-like steel divisions, high fence laced with sharp barb-wires and high watch-posts shining down blinding circular light across the different prison yards for inspection.

Different guarded buildings are scattered across the grounds for different purposes. Some of these buildings are one-storey structures with open roofs, others are just simple rectangles with roof's and some looks like mergers of rectangular structures.

Some pillars of the fences has slots for guards on night patrol.

Navi looks through the vicinity and takes in as much information as he can with new words popping up in his mind every now and then.

Policemen, Military-men, Agents, Assets, Dogs, Night-watchers, Mutants, C.I.R.O amongst many others.

These are words that Navi have never been in contact with yet he can somehow recall them as soon as his eyes falls on the corresponding people or objects.

Vested and full armed men with bold white words on their back are either roaming the area with military dogs or they are standing their grounds while occasionally talking into a device Navi recognises as a Walkie-talkie.

Fully armed and conscious elite soldiers in their pale-green gear-up occupies a completely different post from the rest.

These groups of soldiers casually surveys the front and around a simple-looking rectangular building with military. In front of these buildings are military-trucks of the same colour as the soldier's vests and the soldiers are obviously here with the purpose of defending.

Although he doesn't know much about this current situation, Navi can almost smell words like secure, dangerous and secret from the entire area's organised yet bustling activities.

The entire set up of the place stinks of the phrase 'hell to invaders' yet judging by the hidden position of his alternate self as well as the pair of binoculars..

They don't seem to have been invited.

Infact, it seems that they are about to dive straight in.

With this thought in mind, Navi feels a bit of the other guys emotions which consists of only three things.. calm, acceptance and one more emotions that his other self is not too familiar with yet he keeps on firmly suppressing.

Navi's inexistent brows furrows as he tries to determine the last emotion but he is soon interrupted by a static radio sound transmitted directly into his mind.

*STATIC RADIO¡*_"CREAAK.. CREE.. CREAK.*.
