Hello, it's Zierre here. So I got some very interesting reviews about the scene last chapter, and most of you were aggravated at the fact Trip did what he did. There was also a very smart guest that pointed out some of his opinions, and I will respond to it in the review replies section. For now, just read this chapter.
Review Replies
To Oni warrior: He will be brutally killed… and Ash will find out.
To nico2883: Yes, he should.
To GirlFish: He isn't. Someone is also going to get the death penalty, but not just Trip...
To God of the Challenge: Oh, she will. Ash will destroy Trip.
To Guest: YES, I WILL FUCKING KILL HIM!
To Guest (2): I'm sorry that I almost made you throw up… but Trip will get what he deserves.
To Guest (3): Oh, I only put blood there because he was rough with her, or does that not happen…? If it doesn't then disregard that. Ash and Serena have done it before, so she's not a virgin, but apparently, breaking the hymen causes blood and nothing else… Just ignore that part.
To guest: Nice ideas! Ash will finally be able to destroy Trip.
Chapter 7
Finding Out
Serena had been through a rough night as she opened her eyes, although that was a difficult task to do. Sun broke through her eyelids as she could hear her heartbeats from how silent the room was. She looked around to see many people sleeping in chairs. Wait a minute… these were the people that she saw last night! Ash's friends, that's right. She glanced down to the side of her bed to see her husband sleeping peacefully. She smiled for a moment until pain ravaged her head, pangs of pain vibrating throughout. She winced as she felt pain everywhere in her body… but why was she hurt so much?
"Ashy… I'm awake now." she said softly. The man stirred as he woke up with a sleepy face. He looked around to see his lovely wife back up again. Relief and happiness welled up inside him as he rushed to hug her as she sat upright.
"Serena… I thought I had lost you…" he said softly to her. She wrapped her arms around him in an attempt to calm him down. The two stayed in this position until the door was opened and they were greeted none other than Zed and Laura.
"You two are awake; Figures." Zed joked as he took a seat near Serena. Laura had teared up a little bit as she pulled her best friend into a hug and telling her how much they were worried over her and that she seemed to be in pain when they found her lying on the floor in the restaurant, unconscious.
"Do you know what happened?" Laura asked her as she sat down. Everyone looked at Serena intently who couldn't recall anything that had happened last night, only the fact she had dinner with Ash and his friends. She shook her head, until Ash had a serious expression on his face.
"What is that on your neck…!" he asked her as he rushed over to the side. There was an extremely small hole that no one had noticed. At least, the people who didn't have a trained eye like Ash did. He stared intently at it in worry; Was Serena drugged last night? If the injections say so…
"Yeah, he's right. I can see it…" Zed confirmed what Ash had seen. Serena rummaged through her thoughts of someone trying to drug her, but nothing came about. Suddenly, she screamed in pain as she tried to recall her memories.
"Serena! Calm down!" Ash said, restraining her arms down. This triggered something inside Serena as she screamed even louder. Ash let go as she thrashed about in the bed, the other 2 backing off. The others were woken up as they feared what had happened to her.
"What's wrong with her, Ash?" Gary asked his friend worriedly. He shook his head, but he had something in the back of his mind. If someone had been afraid of being restrained, that means they must've had a recent experience. Of course, everyone hates being restrained, but if someone can have a psychological attack because of it, something bad must've happened last night that Ash didn't know about. He had only one way to find out.
"Serena. I need you to help me with something." Ash said solemnly. Serena looked at him with concern. What had happened to her, and what had caused her to thrash around like that? She tried to recall more memories, until she could form a hazy picture. She widened her eyes in fear; There was someone looming over her, saying something about… something.
"Are you gonna do… that?" she asked him intently. Ash nodded as she complied. Everyone had a confused look as Ash's hands glowed blue and intensified as a bright beam of blue shot at Serena's head. Everyone gasped as a picture of what seemed to be Serena's memory seem to appear.
"Ash, you might strain yourself!" Serena warned him worriedly. He didn't care; He needed to find out what happened, even if it cost him his life.
"I need to know, Serena." he huffed out as he started to pant out of fatigue. The picture grew clearer as they saw Serena being held by a mysterious man who seemed to laugh. Everyone gasped when the man teleported themselves into a dark room, where they saw another figure looming over Serena and the other guy. He said something that was indecipherable as the man who held Serena threw her into a room. Ash had to know.
"What the…" Gary said dumbly as they saw the man undress. Everyone turned away as they knew what was about to happen. Ash grew angry; She HAD been raped! His aura intensified to show color to the picture. He glanced at it as Zed and Laura clenched their fists tightly. Ash had stopped the memory there. He zoomed into the man's face… he couldn't make out anything useful… wait! His hair was extremely dirty… with a tint of blond in it. He looked into the eyes of the man and saw a pale grey… he growled angrily. It was TRIP.
"I'm going to murder him!" Ash said angrily as his eyes flared blue as he stepped towards the door, with angry intentions bubbling up inside him. Serena had to stop this; She didn't want to leave him with Trip and the other man who might kill him! She got up through her pain and winced at every step she took but managed to make it through the room and placed a hand on his shoulder. Power that flared through him dissipated into the air as he glanced at her with a face that could only be described as pissed off so much that he could destroy Hell.
"Ash… I know what has happened." she said to him softly. He growled.
"I know! And I couldn't prevent it because I'm so incompetent." he belittled himself. It was true. He could've protected her from Trip, but he couldn't because he was distracted trying to catch up with his friends that he hasn't talked to in years.
"Ash… you're not. We will fight him. Together." Serena told him, with determination. Everyone stood up with complying looks as he looked at them with softening eyes.
"Thank you… It means a lot to me-" Ash was suddenly cut off by a large explosion. He rushed up to the window to see a fleet of dark clouds with a nearby fleet of black helicopters that could each hold 20 or so men. He saw that they were dropping bombs on the forest which had caused the explosions.
"We need to go, NOW." Ash said quickly. Everyone rallied up and ran downstairs as fast as they could, with other trainers in front and in the back of them. The crowd made their way downstairs to see the helicopters nearing them and descended nearby. Many of the trainers were angry and rushed towards the mysterious people and Ash and his group had followed them into battle. They arrived at a clearing, where a figure with a Pokéball in his hand stared at them.
"Finally… you're all here." he said raspily. A gust of extreme power had blown the group to the ground and scampered away. Only Ash and his friends stayed behind with defiant looks on their faces.
"I know it's you… Trip." Ash growled. The figure laughed as he took his hood off to reveal himself, it was Trip.
"Good job, Ketchum! You deserve candy. Hey there, sugar. Up for another round?" He cackled as he looked hungrily at Serena who was shielded by Ash with a look on his face that only meant death for him.
"You have done something wrong to her… you will pay." he said lowly as he flared blue. Trip merely laughed at him as he put the Pokéball back on his belt. He raised his hands up to reveal a plethora of guards, each with multiple Pokéballs on their belts. Then a another figure had appeared behind Trip, with obvious malice rippling through his face.
"And I thought you would recognize me… Ash." the figure said malevolently. He took off his hood to reveal… GIOVANNI!?
"How…!? I destroyed Team Rocket!" Ash shouted at him angrily. The man merely looked at him with an amused expression.
"Too bad you won't be able to compete in this tournament… this will be your last battle. Mark my words, Ketchum." He snarled at him. Ash and his friends all stood in a line, each with Pokéballs in their hands.
"If it is, then I'll go out protecting who I hold to my heart." he countered. But somehow, he felt something would go wrong in this battle… but why?
So… I promised you that Ash WILL get his hands on Trip… but not now. All of you gore lovers will get your Ash will kill Trip scene. Believe me, I'm looking forward to writing that. But this is what you are given for now. :) Wait for the next chapter, I'm out! Oh, and I also removed the cast list… I feel it's a bit redundant now… so yeah. I also removed the chapter stats and move lists; I also thought they weren't needed anymore. All that's left is "Next Chapter" and "Review Replies." Oh, and this chapter has given you a lot of things; To those who wanted Jirachi and Manaphy, it looks like I can't give them to you in this story. If you want another story, go check out my Gods are Born Everyday. I'm going to update that every time I have writer's block which is often… so yeah :)
Next Chapter: Pain
Expected Date: July 15th through July 22nd, 2015.
