Hey Guys…Scholl starts tomorrow so I am posting the final chapter to eight years! And I am going to be completely and utterly honest. THERE WILL BE NO MORE LONGSHOTS WHEN SCHOOL STARTS! Because I just cant make that commitment. Mostly because I don't want to promise you guys a longshot and then…kill it! So yeah. There will be some new one shots here and there, I promise you. And don't worry! I have my Contestshipping story with Paul in it in mind and it is…awesome! (lol I think) It's called 'White Rose'. Anyway review the last chapter and good luck in school! Ugh, I hope eight grade doesn't utterly suck!

Max: OldRivalShippingLvr does not own pokemon or any of the characters! Or else she would still have May and Drew there and there would be major Contestshipping!

May: Great… (sarcasm)

Drew: oh you know you want me…

May: In OldRivalshippingLvr's dreams! Yuck! (blushing!)

Me: Sigh…. On with the story…


I continued to watch May and her master clash there weapons together. And even though the situation at hand was troublesome, I have to say that what I was witnessing was quite remarkable. Oh Arceus…I sound like Mr. Contesto…

Anyway, what I'm saying is that…The two people, who were trying to kill one another, was quite the sight. Not that I'm saying I enjoyed it, oh no. I did not enjoy it. Why would I enjoy watching the girl I love try to defend her life, when she shouldn't have too?

What I'm trying to say is…that the battle was extremely emotional, and outstanding. You have May, the girl with fear, sadness, regret, anger, determination, and tears in her eyes. Yet she was fully ready to protect herself and kill her opponent. Then there was the opponent himself, Clorfso. Who at the moment, I couldn't hate anymore then I already did. It was his fault I had lost May for eight years, and his fault she lost her parents. All the hurt she's gone through was his fault and he laughed at her for it. There was absolutely nobody in the world that could do that, without me hating them. May was more important to me then anything, and if somebody I knew, and respected, did something to cause her any severe hurt, then all my respect for them would be gone. A good example is Harley, even though I never respected him. From the moment I met him he was trying to hurt May, and even though he was a decent coordinator, there was absolutely no respect for him because of what he did to her in the past.

There are so many other people I could name, all because they hurt May. But I was interrupted of my thoughts because I felt something disappear from my uniform pocket. That's when I turned around, and saw Alexander, staring me down, holding the gun May and Max had given me earlier before. He had this frightening look on his face that could easily scare away a couple of Teddiursa Scouts and there famous Oran berry cookies.

That's when I finally heard talking from the background, over the clashing of swords, and the dead silence besides that.

"You've gotten better over the years haven't you, May?"

"Don't try to distract me Clorfso! Isn't that what you always told me? Don't get distracted in a battle?"

"Ah, yes…I remember, now. I'm so happy you remembered. I'll be sure to write that in the famous story of the assassin war after you die."

"Oh, you're mistaken if you think I'm the one dieing today."

After a few more seconds of silence, they started up again…

"You know, May… Its quite sad actually…"

"What are you talking about, now?"

"Its just…you got so far protecting people…"

Suddenly, Alexander shifted the hand gun to my shoulder, and my heart was racing. My mind was filling with so many thoughts, I couldn't handle it. But one thing came across my mind more then any others. This was all a trap. Clorfso knew those soldiers wouldn't stop May from coming up. He had planned everything… He even planned the part where Alexander sticks a poison bullet through my shoulder.

"But you couldn't protect the one you loved most of all…"

That's when everything happened. I heard a gasp, a frightened gasp that I knew was coming from May. I closed my eyes, readying myself for my death…Then I heard the sound of running. Then, in a matter of seconds, I felt a push, heard atleast three random gun's fire, then I hit the floor, without as much a scratch.

I opened my eyes, hoping for my eyes to explain everything to me.

The first thing I saw was the dead body of Alexander, blood streaming from his chest, through his clothes. He had been shot, and was now lying on the ground… May had saved me…May had killed the man before he could kill me.

Then I realized one small detail. He only had two wounds in his body… "May!…" I whispered this so lightly, that I doubt I couldn't even hear myself, and the only reason I knew I had whispered it is because I knew just about everything I did.

I turned my eyes to across the room, and saw May laying there, with her gun inches away from her hand… Completely ignoring the fact that Clorfso was still there, I ran over to her, noticing major swelling in her hand.

I studied it until I found a spot where her hand was completely purple, and a small trickle of blood was streaming down her arm.

She had gotten shot…by the gun that was supposed to paralyze you for ten minutes, while the poison killed you in the process…May…was going to die…all because she saved me…She took her own life…just so I could survive…

I shook her, and whispered her name, but nothing happened. She just sat there, eyes closed, nothing coming from her mouth…

"May…May you have to wake up! C'mon May!" I fell to my knee's and clenched my fists. Then I noticed her eyes twitch, yet they were still closed. Then they started to flicker open slowly, and she could just barely mumble something to me…I tried to understand everything.

"D-drew…Y-y-you ha-have to…e-esca-escape…S-survive…" I shook my head, there was no way I was going to leave her… Stupid decision or not, I was not leaving May, not ever.

I picked her up, and tried running out of the room, but something grabbed me, and threw May out of my hands and onto the cold, hard floor. I heard her groan in pain, and glared at3 the person who had caused me to drop her…Clorfso.

"Aww, isn't this just adorable. The 'Oh so great' assassin, May Maple, saves the life of her old rival Drew…To bad she didn't realize that after she risked her life for him, and killed Alexander…That I was still armed…and he had nothing…"

I heard May whimper across the room, but I didn't dare look over at her. I didn't want to see her in so much pain…it was not something I liked to see.

Then Clorfso took out his own rifle, and put it to my neck. "This will be perfect for the story of the fallen hero…or try to be hero, atleast. Face it May, you always let your feelings get in the way of fights. You always went to save your friend instead of taking out the main enemy. You could have taken us out long ago, if you hadn't of wasted your time saving random people you didn't know. You would always rush over, and make sure that they weren't the ones to get killed, and in the process you would let a Double A escape. Do you really think that saving those people was worth it? Accept this May, assassins aren't made to have friends. They are made to kill, not let there emotions get in the way of there job! That was the biggest disappointment in training you. You would protect somebody else instead of protecting yourself. That is not something a top assassin does. They always make sure that they go in, and don't care what happens to the others. They just shake it off and go home. So now, I here by, declare you, May Maple…The worst top assassin…ever. Now, say goodbye to your little friend May…"

He turned to me, and shifted the gun. His finger pulled the trigger closer and close to its firing point…and then, a miracle happened.

"No…" Me and Clorfso turned to find May, on her knee's, holding up an identical hand gun, just like the one she used to kill Alexander, and it was pointing to Clorfso, who was completely and utterly speechless.

"I-impossible! Nobody can handle the excruciating pain that paralyzes you! It…Its not possible! Its not logical!" The gun, that had been so close to killing me was now on the floor, dropped by a completely shocked Clorfso.

"I guess…I learned how… to endure pain from the best, didn't I?" then she closed her eyes, and the room filled with4 the sound of gun fire. May had put a bullet in Clorfso's head, and he was fallen over…smiling? Why in the world was he smiling? This guy was screwed up, but that wasn't important, because May had fallen over too, weak from standing through something that was apparently not impossible to stand through.

I ran over to her, and this time. I felt no heart beat. I shook her, screaming her name… This couldnt be happening…it just couldn't. I felt actual tears running down my face, and I honestly didn't care about dignity at this point.

"May!" I heard a familiar voice scream her name from behind, and then saw that Max was beside me, kneeling over his sisters body, also in tears… "May? May…what happened to you? What did Clorfso do to you? May…May, you cant leave me…you're the only thing I have left…May…please…" May covered his eyes with his bangs, and sobbed…There had been no response from May…

Hidisk also ran in, moments after Max did, only to see three bodies on the ground…Alexander, Clorfso, and…May… "What happened, Drew?" He looked at me…and I tried to explain everything without…loosing it.

"She got hit with a poison bullet…and just when Clorfso was going to kill me…she managed to get our of her paralyzed state for a few moments…and used all her energy…killing Clorfso… Then she just…didn't have a heartbeat anymore…

Max let out a sob, and kneeled over his sisters body… "May! You cant leave me…You cant!" Then there was nothing else to say…We just sat there in silence…If you count occasion sobs as silence. Yes, I too, was in tears…I just couldn't…speak. I was too shocked…sacred…sad. I felt sorrow, and hurt…and I felt sympathy for Max…He had lost everything. His parents, and now his sister…

What we didn't notice however was that…May's heartbeat… had started back up again…

"M-m-max…D-don't…" Max's head shot up, and looked over at his sister, eyes glowing with relief. "May!" he hugged her, and picked her up. Then she smiled at both of us…

"You don't think you can get rid of me that easy, do you?" And for once, there were no smart remarks, no rolling of the eyes…just smiling…coming from everybody.

Hidisk then came over to May, and gave her a hug from himself, like me and Max had done numerous time. "May…you took the 'Jinotic Injection'…didn't you? May…you know that I declared those a failed experiment. It only has a thirty percent chance of working…" She nodded at him, keeping her eyes closed…obviously still tired…

I had no idea what he was talking about…but then something came to me… "The shot…"

~Flashback~

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!"

~End of Flashback~

She had taken the shot, knowing that if we got shot we would've had a chance to survive…she always did think ahead…What Clorfso said was wrong… May was not the worst top assassin. She was by far…the best there has ever been. Something he would never be…

And she was definitely worth eight years of searching the world…
