It was is a great story! I, unfortunately, do not have any screenshots of it, and I'm not sure if egorsmirnov will.
Well. . . *glances over shoulder* . . . I happen to have the entire story copied down on the computer, so if I wanted I could post the rest of it here. The thing is, I promised Brickgirl I wouldn't copy or basically mess around with her story, and I don't know if posting it in an archive would count.
I think that she wouldn't mind if it was an archive, because you don't change it and you give her credit.

You have a point there. Well. . . . . . I suppose if egorsmirnov doesn't do it and there are enough people who want it, I could contribute to the archive.

I hope egorsmirnov doesn't mind if I continue this archive. I'd like to see more of this story shared with the Eternals; Brickgirl99x deserves her story to be known and appreciated by more, despite having never finished the series to my knowledge.

"Do you want any water?"
"No."
"More pillows?"
"No."
"Food? A massage? A story? Toys?"
"Jay, I'm not five." Nya responded, while shaking her head. They had just gotten back from the hospital, but Jay had already started "taking care" of her.
He chuckled slightly. "Heh, I know. I just want to make sure you're comfortable."
"I'm fine really. It doesn't even really hurt." Nya responded, but the truth was that it actually did hurt a little. In fact, she felt somewhat odd even, but right now Jay asking her questions every two minutes wasn't helping.
Jay narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while. "Sure you are."
"I am really! Aren't you supposed to be doing some training with Kai anyway..."
"Yeah, but he can wait. I'd rather stay and help you."
Nya shook her head again. "Go find him and train. I'm fine seriously! Go train!" she motioned Jay to head to the door.

Jay knocked Kai to the ground again for what had to be the 10th time.
"Ok, ok. We need to stop." Jay took their practice swords and sat them on the ground. He and Kai decided to do a little one-on-one training to get their minds off some stuff while Nya rested, but Kai was just...out of it.
"It's like you're not even trying." Jay added as he picked up his towel and wiped his face.
Kai hadn't even been listening to Jay. His eyes were on his phone. "Hey! Kai, dude snap out of it!" Jay waved his hand in front of Kai's face.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry."
Jay sighed. "Are you alright man? You've been totally off your game today. It's starting to scare me." Jay's concern was quite obvious in his voice.
"I'm just worried about Skylor, she's not really answering my texts."
Jay thought for a moment. "She did had that weird almost panic like attack at the hospital. I wonder what set her off."
Kai sat down on the bench and took a sip of water. "Well, she was looking at Nya when it happened."
Jay raised an eyebrow." Why would Nya cause that?" "No, wait...she was looking at the mark Nya has. You know with the burning building and people." Kai corrected himself.
"Odd." Jay said as he now joined Kai on the bench.
"She was talking about her mother recently. Maybe the image brought back some memories or somehting."
Jay nodded. "Maybe she was just having a bad day then...don't worry so much about it. When she wants to talk she'll talk. " "Right I know, but-" "You're worried about her. I understand..." Jay then began to laugh."You know you really should tell her." "Tell her what...that I'm worried? I already did." Jay shook his head and grinned. "No. I mean how you feel about her."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Kai mumbled.
"Don't even try that with me Kai. I know you guys are more than friends and you flippin go red in the face whenever we mention Skylor. Like right now for instance. When are you going to make it official? Like seriously I'm waiting."
Tick..tock. Tick...tock. Skylor watched the hands of her clock as she fiddled with her phone. Her hand kept hovering over the reply button. She had to tell him something, anything really.
She sighed and then began to type. "Hey Kai, I'm good. I just needed a little air and after that I was ok-" she paused.That guilt feeling started to rise in her again, but ...she ignored it and kept on typing. "I'll see you guys tomorrow alright?"
She had one day to figure out a plan to keep them busy...one day. She hit send and then flopped back onto her bed, but she immediately shot back up when a sharp pain hit her in the back. It burned like fire and wouldn't stop.
"Where did that come from..."she groaned as she ran her hand across it. Then she remembered what Tolin said about the virus."You don't feel it now, but slowly it will crawl up on you. It may be an ache one day, cramps the next, sharp stings in your side." She swallowed hard. It had already started infecting her.
A thought of pure horror then crossed her mind. Was she contagious? Could she possibly spread this to the ninja when she met up with them? Tolin didn't say it was contagious. She couldn't infect the others. Right? No. Wait. This is Tolin we are talking about. What if this was his plan all along? Infect her and then infect all the ninja.
Skylor placed her hands on her head. She wanted pull out her hair with frustration. This was all a big mind game wasn't it? She was thinking about it too hard. Tolin wouldn't do that... No. He needed the ninja still...at least for right now. He just wanted them out of the way for a while. Yeah. That was it. She was fine. Perfectly fine.
She would sleep on it. That's all she needed. A good nights rest. She would wake up tomorrow refreshed and ready to get this whole mess over with. Yup, that was it.
Skylor then closed her eyes.
"Rest...all I need is rest." she thought, but little did she know of the dream that was waiting for her inside her mind...
It was hot. No, it was cold. It was both? From my waist to my head it was cold, but the rest of my body was warm, a burning type of hot in fact. I was alone in the dark. I couldn't see anything, just darkness...and screams. So many screams now. Children's screams, adult's screams, babies' screams, screams everywhere.I ran towards the screams as they all seemed to be calling me now."Skylor come here! You're so close! Skylor she's here! Skylor. Skylor. Skylor." Over and over again they called my name. Millions of voices.
I was standing in the middle of a village now. It was burning. Burn marks were on my hands.Fire was surrounding me.So many flames...so much smoke."What did I do? What did I do?" I repeated to myself.
Then I saw her. I saw mother. She was standing by the fire. Her hair flowing against the wind and ashes, but the fire didn't seem to hurt her. She was just standing peacefully.
"M-mother?" I questioned as I walked forward. She turned around and smiled that sweet smile of hers.
I fell to my knees and began to sob. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." "I did this. I did all of this..." I buried my face into her chest and continued sobbing. "No. This isn't your fault." she said. "Yes! It is!"
The flames of the fire began to rise again. This time even higher to the point where it was surrounding us. "Skylor, calm down. You need to calm down." "No, no I can't. Look at it all! It's all my fault!" The flames began to circle around me and rose higher. "Skylor stop!" Mother yelled, but it was too late. The fire consumed me.
***
Skylor opened her eyes. Her heart pounding like drums. "It was a dream... It was only a dream." she cried in relief. It had felt so real, like she was really there, her mother was really there in front of her. So real. Like someone trying to communicate?
She shook her head. "Nope. It was a dream and only a dream. Leave it at that." She rolled over to her right side and stared at her alarm clock. It was seven in the morning already.
Seven in the morning...already. She sighed heavily as she got up from her bed. Her mind still dwelt on that dream. Even though she had said she wouldn't, she just couldn't shake this one. It was too weird. The only time she had ever had images feel so real in her mind was when Neuro sent a message to all the elemental masters during the tournament.
Wait...mind powers...communicating. Someone was trying to tell her something. That had to be it, but who would be doing that? She hadn't talked to Neuro since the tournament, so it couldn't be him. Who else had powers of the mind? Besides herself that is. Who? She was stumped.
Skylor then walked over to her bathroom and turned on the water in the sink. As she did she briefly caught something out the corner of her eye. It looked like a person?
She quickly stared back into the mirror, but the person was gone. Where did they go? Turning backwards, she began to pace to room. Her lamp suddenly moved, then the curtains. She picked up her hairdryer and slowly walked forward. She could at least knock someone upside the head with it at least.
"Alright now, I don't know who you are, but I don't like uninvited people in my house. Show yourself." she yelled, heart pounding.
The sound of footsteps suddenly filled the air. Three taps...then. Nothing. "Hello." a voice said Skylor jumped and swung her hairdryer back and forth. "Get out! Getoutgetout!" she screamed. "Whoa, It's me!"
She opened her eyes and stopped swinging. K'lynn was standing in front of her. "Gosh...K'lynn, you almost gave me a heart attack!" She placed her hand on her head and sighed.
"I'm sorry." K'lynn replied simply. There he went again with ...that. He was always apologizing to her. Why? Why was he so sorry or even apologizing in the first place? You would think after hanging around Tolin for so long a person would become bitter and rude. Yet, K'lynn didn't come off that way at all.
Skylor narrowed her eyes and looked around the room. "How did you even get in here?"
K'lynn leaded up against the wall and folded his arms. "I went in through the window. It wasn't that hard actually, I'd advise getting some bars or locks on those things. You wouldn't want strangers sneaking in hun."
"Yeah, strangers..." Skylor really couldn't tell if K'lynn was serious or being sarcastic.That voice disguise thing he had really didn't make the task any easier. What was even the point of that thing? K'lynn's especially seemed like it was cranked up to maximum. She really didn't understand it, but..maybe she could use this as an opportunity to test him. To see if he would take it off. Just for a little while. Just to see what was really going on under there.
"Are you going to keep that thing on all the time?" She questioned, pointing to K'lynn's helmet. "Yes." K'lynn responded, no hesitation at all. Skylor shifted her weight to her right side as she stood. "What, you don't trust me?" "...No. That's not it." K'lynn seemed to be getting uncomfortable now, his voice didn't show it, but his body language did. He was moving to much. Switching the way his arms were positioned. That was a telltale sign to Skylor that someone wasn't being truthful.
"Then take it off. I want to see who I'm working with." K'lynn clenched his fists as he looked down, almost as if he were ashamed. "I can't." "So...its glued to your head?" "No." "Then why won't you show me?" "Because...I'm-under oath. Tolin would have my head if I did."
Skylor narrowed her eyes again as she stared him down. His story seemed legit, but she still felt like he was lying about that last part. Or...at least not telling the whole truth, which frustrated her. She had to be sure she could trust him and this was just making her more doubtful. He was still hiding something and she wanted to find out what.
"Your apartment is nice. It reminds me of my old home." K'lynn stated suddenly, perhaps trying to change the subject.
The thing is, I promised Brickgirl I wouldn't copy or basically mess around with her story, and I don't know if posting it in an archive would count. 
. . . I suppose if egorsmirnov doesn't do it and there are enough people who want it, I could contribute to the archive.
