Well here it is. Chapter four. I'm really sorry for taking so long to update so I hope you enjoy.


Gary and Dawn gazed dumbstruck at where Paul had been. They gazed for a very long time. Ash did as well. When he finally snapped out of it he debated whether he should go after Paul and see where he went, or whether he should stay in the room. He decided on staying in the room. He had no idea where he would go if he left, and, now that he thought about it Paul had probably left the hospital by now. He glanced at Gary and Dawn and saw that neither had moved. Then Dawn looked at Gary with hate in her eyes and ran out of the room. Gary raised his arm and opened his mouth but no sound came out. He just let his arm drop and then he took on an expression of great sadness. Ash felt sorry for him. Then Gary left, maybe to go after Dawn, maybe to just be on his own for awhile. He would never know.

Then a shout came. It was Gary. He had just yelled, "Who are you?" Then more shouts came.

Hey don't go in there!

Stop what are you doing?

Hey!

The last shout was more panicked, and it came just before the door came crashing down with Gary on top of it. The man who had probably knocked him down was standing right behind where the door had been. Behind him where five other men. The man who had knocked the door down seemed to be the leader and he motioned for the others to enter the room just as he stepped in. The others came in, stepping on Gary forcefully. Gary groaned. One of the men kicked his head. This time Gary stayed quiet. The leader went over to the bed where his solid body lay and picked it up and tossed it over his shoulder. What did they want with his real body? And then a shout came. It was Dawn. She was screaming for help. Had the men got her as well? Where they abducting, if that was the right word for it, Paul as well? What about Cyrus? What about the other people who knew him. Even if he didn't know them, they would know him. And the men would know that too. This was bad. Then he saw Dawn in the gap where the door had been. She was being held by one man and no matter what she did she couldn't get free. She was crying. And then she saw his body on the leader's shoulder. She yelled at him to put it down, but the man merely smirked. Then she saw Gary and started screaming his name, begging for him to wake up. Then one of the men picked up Gary and flung him over his shoulder. Dawn had given up screaming at this point and was just crying. Gary wasn't going to wake up. Ash cursed, and for some reason yelled Gary's name. Then the oddest thing happened. Gary glowed a faint blue for a slight second. Then he opened his eyes. It took him a second to realise where it was, it looked like, but as soon as he got his bearings, he brought his fist up and made contact with the man who was holding him head's. The man dropped like a stone. Then Gary went for the man who was holding Dawn, but one of the other men got in the way. He tackled Gary to the ground, and the two started wrestling. It was clear that man had an advantage though; he was twice Gary's weight and height and was on top of him. This was bad; Gary would go down again if someone didn't do something. The man raised his fist to punch Gary, and then Ash held out his arm, as if hoping that he could stop the man. And then Ash's real body glowed for a slight second, and a blue pulsing ball of blue light shot out of Ash's spiritual (he was a ghost, so that term seemed right) out stretched hand. It hit the man and he was flung backwards. He hit the wall with a sickening crunch. Gary winced; then went right for the man holding Dawn. It was easy; he was staring with amazement at his fallen comrade. He went down and let go of Dawn. She ran right into Gary and hugged him until he pushed her off in order for him to kick another man down. But this one didn't go down so easily. He grabbed Gary's leg and pulled the brown haired boy towards him. Then he grabbed the other leg and swung Gary into a wall. Blood started to trickle out of Gary's head. But Gary didn't go down. He got back up, but was slammed into the wall again and held by his neck in place. He struggled, but couldn't get free. Dawn was back in another man's grasp. She couldn't get free. Then Gary opened his mouth and screamed with all his might,

EVERYONE WHO IS ASH'S FRIEND RUN! JUST RUN, DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE, JUST RUN! And then, as an afterthought he screamed again, but a different sentence this time. He screamed, PAUL, CYRUS! HELP! He was then silenced by the man who had pinned him to the wall, who squeezed his neck. But then Dawn started as well, she screamed a message to Paul. She screamed, PAUL! HELP!

That was when the window shattered. Everyone turned towards it, which didn't work out for the guy holding Dawn; he was punched in the face and fell to the ground. The person who had committed the offence: Paul. He was standing there in the room, with a small cut on his face from broken glass. He looked like he had calmed down, but only a bit. He still looked extremely mad. The men had snapped out of the trances and all of them (expect the leader), even the man who had had Gary pinned against the wall went for Paul. Paul went into action right away; he took out one with a simple punch to the stomach and then an uppercut to the chin. The second one was kicked where it really hurt and went down crying like a baby. The last two attacked together, but still failed. Paul dodged the punches and kicks that were aimed at him and grabbed both men by the back of their head. Then he slammed the two together, hard. The floor got to know the twosome's faces at that point. Paul turned and faced the leader. Then the leader did something Ash never expected him to do. He laughed. Paul frowned and opened his mouth to speak. But no words escaped. He was hit on the head and pushed to the floor rapidly with a kick to the back by one of the men he had seemly knocked down. He hadn't. Instead the man had gone down and pretended to be out. He groaned as blood trickled out of his mouth. Then he closed his eyes. Ash almost screamed. The situation had almost seemed positive just then. Then Paul had to go down. Gary hadn't been able to help; one of the other fallen men had got up and had knocked the boy on to his stomach. Unable to move with his arms pinned behind him, Gary didn't even bother to cry out. Dawn had lost all hope as well. A man entered the room. He walked over to the leader and muttered a few words to him. The leader nodded and motioned for the others to leave. The man holding Dawn knocked her out with a quick blow to the head, the man on top of Gary likewise. Then over the shoulders of their captors the two went and the group left. Ash followed them. As they walked though the hospital Ash noticed something. There were no people anywhere. Then they reached what seemed like the main room. Bodies were everywhere. Ash nearly screamed until he heard one of the men mutter, great what sleeping powder does, at which he sighed with relief. They left the hospital and walked over to a van. They flung the three bodies into the back of the van and climbed in the front. Ash went up to the van (he had been so busy watching what the men did he hadn't got in) and found that he could drift though walls, much to his surprise. He found out just in time because the van set off at that point, taking them to who knows where.


A lot of violence in this chapter. In the next chapter we find out where the van is going and who wants Ash and friends. We also find out what happans to Cyrus. And by the way, no one has had Pokemon on them since the last chapter. Don't ask why. By the way, I am going to do a Naruto fic. It will be one of these return of Sasuke ones but with a twist. No one takes any notcie of him and seems to hate him. Then Kakashi turns up and we find out Naruto has been caught by the Akatsuki. Then a guy who believes art is a blast turns up. All this comes after a one-shot I am going to write. One last thing, rate and review! See ya next time.
