Me: We are back for another chapter of Eight Years!
May: OMG I'M AN ASSASSIN! AWWEESSOOMMEE!
Drew: Dont get used to it *trips May*
May: Aaah! *Lands on face* DREW! I'm gonna kill you? OldRivalshippingLvr? Can I kill Drew in this story? Please?
Me: ...Uh...No...
May: Ugh...Fine... "OldRivalShippingLvr does not own pokemon..."
Me: ... *sweatdrop*
May and I arrived at the mansion, and it was pretty huge. "You live here?" I asked. It had an outside pool, a huge yard, and was about four stories high. I'm not going to guess how many rooms it had. "Yeah, we needed it to be big, so we can keep witnesses here, and all of that. And it also comes in handy when you need to hide form the "Double A's."
"The Double A's?"
"They're the enemy organization." The enemy organization? The Double A's? It sounded like a battery...
We walked in silence until we reached the doors, and May place her hand on a scanner and then she spoke in a blan tone. "May Maple" Suddenly the doors opened and we stepped into the house. The inside didn't look like much of a assassin hideout. It looked like a normal house. I walked in and awe.
"Drew stop! Don't walk past the welcome mat! it's a trap we set for intruders!" I quickly stopped and moved away from the welcome mat, not even wanting to know what would happen if I walked over it. "Then how are we supposed to get in the house?" She just smiled at me. "I suggest you brace yourself and grab something to hold onto." I didn't know why she told me to do this but I did. And after she grabbed onto a handle, she shouted. "Underground Hideout, 4376. Password. CNMM" Suddenly, elevator doors closed us in and we started moving down at a very fast speed, maybe even faster then a rollercoaster.
I was pretty much freaking out, usually I wasn't like this...but who wouldn't be freaked out if they were basically in a free falling, giant elevator? She just looked at me and laughed. "Don't worry! Its supposed to do this!" and then she smiled. "I've never seen you so scared Drew!"
"Well, I'm not really sure this is safe!" She rolled her eyes, and laughed. "That's what they always say! Don't worry you'll get used to it!" I'll get used to it? WHat did she mean? Was I going to be staying here long?
Eventually we started to slow down and it came to a stop, and the elevator doors opened. "Welcome to my home Drew."
Now this looked like an assassin hideout. There were weapon racks everywhere, holding countless guns I didn't even know existed. Right next to it was a sword rack. I guess May was skilled with swordsmanship as well… It was nice and clean, and there was high tech security camera's everywhere.
May honestly was an assassin, and nomadder how many times I said it in my my mind...I wasn't scared, or shocked. I was just happy I had found her, after so long.
"May, does all this have anything to do with your disappearance eight years ago?" I saw her look down at her feet and sigh. "C'mon. Take a seat and I will explain everything…" She pressed a button on the wall and a nice long black sofa, completely surrounding a coffee table came up from the floor.
I took a seat across from May, And the explanation began.
"After the Grand Festival, I got a call from my petrified brother. He told me that five men had come and killed mom and dad…and that there were two other men there who said they could help us. He told me to go to Olivine beach and I would find a ferry to take me home. I quickly wrote both you and Ash a letter. But on my way out…You saw me board the ferry. Max had told me not to let anybody see me get on. And well…you know what happened after you found me, we talked, and then I left... After I was back home, my house was gone. Max and two older men found me and took me to a hideout, different then this one. The two men, Mr. Hidisk and Mr. Clorfso told us that our parents were targets of the Double A's, and that those five men were part of that group. He said since we don't have parents we could join them to destroy the Double A's. But to do that, we would have to become assassins, but not your normal assassins, no. We were assassins that killed other assassins. Both me and Max accepted this and went through four years of painful, vigorous training. I learned two forms of martial arts, how to handle many types of weapons, and as age sixteen I became a full fledged assassin. I went through a whole year, risking my life, and killing hundreds of Double A's. But at age seventeen, there was a notice of a boy looking for me. At first they thought the boy was a detective, but no. He was one of my old friends. He was you Drew. And the more you looked for me, the more danger you were put in. That's when we had to fake my death, knowing that you would eventually come to this region. And the whole time you were here, I was under cover as a nun, to protect you."
"Protect me? Why would you have to do that?"
"Because the Double A's found out that you were looking for one of Lux-Revenge's top assassins, me. There first assumption was that you were a spy for us. Because you had traveled a little to close to there hideout in the region Hilei. I had thought, you seeing my grave would end your search, and the Double A's would give up there man hunt for you. They were going to kill you Drew... That man, the one I disposed of at the cemetery. His name is Henrieto, and lets just say he's been trying to kill me for a year now, because I had a personal issue with his brother and slit his brother's throat. He wanted revenge for his brother, and I finally got the chance to get rid of that annoying obstacle at the cemetery."
"Wait, What personal issue did you have with his brother?"
"His brother…was one of the five that killed my parents. There is only one of them left by now. And I will make sure to kill them personally. But I cant, not until I find out one vital piece of information we haven't been able to get…Why they killed my parents, and who hired them. That's what Max is for. Even though Max went through all the training I did, he is the organizations hacker. He gets all the information on there targets, and that's what this organizations for. We protect people, and kill the people that try to hurt them. We always try to protect a target." I thought about it, and I began to wonder…
"May…am…I a …target? Is that why they tried to kill me?" She closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to say it...as if she couldn't find a way to get it out fo her mouth.
"I am sorry but…Yes. You are one of the special targets. Because to them, you are a spy, and they will do whatever it takes to kill you. But don't worry, I will not let them kill you."
That's when her explanation ended, and I understood everything. May might have been a killer, but she wasn't a bad guy. In a weird way you could almost call her a hero. She was trying to protect me. I was a target of a group of assassins and she was the one who was going to keep them from killing me.
"Drew, I'm sorry all of this had to happen. And I'm sorry that you had to find out about…me. I had hoped that none of my friends would ever find out…especially you."
Especially me? What was so different about me then the others? "What do you mean?"
"Well Drew. The truth is, that I always did and never stopped-"
Before May could finish her sentence the elevator doors opened and out stepped a young man, with messy blue-ish black hair, and glasses, wearing the same purple uniform as May. Yes, out stepped Max.
"Hey May, I was wondering if maybe you could…" He sentence drifted off as his eyes came across me. "May…Is that? May, is that Drew? I thought you killed Henrieto?"
I saw May get a look of shame in her eyes. "Yes, I did, but…I failed to kill him before he got to Drew. So Drew became a witness…meaning I failed my mission…" Her head went down and Max looked over at me. "May, C'mon. Mr. Hidisk says even the greatest assassins cant do everything. Why do you always try to over do yourself. Your only human May, and even special trained humans can over do themselves. How were you supposed to know that Henrieto would be at the cemetery?"
"I guess…I just really didn't want Drew to get caught up in all of this. Now he knows everything…about you and me…mom and dad…Lux-Revenge." Max nodded, and put a sympathetic hand on her shoulder. "I believe you can protect him May, it was one time...every other time was completed and...May. Its fine..." She nodded, and they both headed to the other part of the room, covered in computers.
They both took a seat next to eachother and typed in various passwords before I was able to understand anything. I was looking over May's shoulder, and she aparently didn't mind much...I saw many pictures of people, of all different ages, and there were names under them. Soem had X's marked across there picture and some didn't...
Suddely, Max jumped up, worry written in his face... "May! it's the Double A's! There surrounding us! There surrounding the hideout!" May stood up and looked over at Max's computer. And there was a live video of outside the hideout, showing hundreds of men in the black uniform I saw earlier.
"Max! There's too many! We cant take out over a hundred Double A's! Maybe thirty…but not this many! Max…What do we do?"
I don't know why but I decided to speak. "Um, I thought that there was a trap for intruders?" Max just rolled his eyes and May was still nervous.
"Drew, they wouldn't have brought this many of them if they weren't prepared. Max! I think…I think they might know our password! They know it's a trap! We've had many Double A rookies walk right into our disintegrator!" I wasn't even going to ask about the whole disintegrator thing. I was just happy I didn't walk past the welcome mat.
"May! We have to take the emergency underground tunnel to the Double A's hideout in Hilei!" May nodded and both her and Max ran to the weapon rack. May grabbed two swords and placed them in what looked like a sword holder part of her uniform. Max did the same. Then they grabbed two special guns and placed them in there pockets. Lastly May grabbed what looked like a regular rifle and handed to me. "Take this! it's a rifle that never runs out of ammo! But be careful with it! Its very powerful! Its not a normal rifle. The bullets don't kill right off! There very small, not even seeable to the human eye! They paralyze the human legs and arms and sends a poison through the whole body, killing them in a matter of ten minutes." One part of me said 'Yikes' while the other part said 'Awesome.'
Max ran to another room as may ran to a cabinet. I saw her look to see if Max was watching, and when she saw he wasn't there, she stuck a needle in her arm, wincing. Then she ran over to me and pleaded. "Drew, this is going to hurt but…you need to let me inject this in you! Its for your own good okay? But don't say anything or ask any questions!" I nodded, waiting for her to stick the painful needle in my arm. It did hurt, but I stood there like a man and didn't wince like she had. After that she ran and put the shot away "Okay. Its time to go! Follow me!" May and I ran in the direction Max had gone before, and we found him in a room like the entrance, except much bigger, and this had a steering wheel and many controls. There were two main seats in the front and about ten passenger seats behind them. "Ready For underground launch?" Max shouted in the drivers seat as May sat down at weapon control. May hit a purple button on the side of the wall and more elevator type doors closed the room in. "Ready Max!" then she turned to me. "Okay drew! Take a seat in and please, please buckle your seat belt, or you will be a splattered pancake on the ceiling!" I did as she said, obviously not wanting to be a pancake, I sat in a seat, which a atleast five different kinds of seatbelts, I debated on whether I really needed to buckle them all or not, and being thankful I did once they launched the underground ship…er room.. Uh? Transporter thing? I didnt know, or care what it was called...
Soo? How was it? Bad? Good? Awful? Funny? Great? I'll never know unless I get some reviews! Haha, Yeah... I liked the idea of a Poinon/Paralyzing gun..so..yeah. I feel awkward even though I'm typing. Thats not normal...lol
