Hello Readers, and Merry Belated Christmas. :)
The votes are in, and I'm doing to The Last Rose first, it was a 2 to 1 vote, but I was probably going to do The Last Rose first anyway, because I had more of a plot set out for that one... The other story will come out shortly after.
This is the second to last real chapter, then the epilogue, but I might just make this the last chapter and the epilogue really long. I have 6 days and maybe one chapter and definitely one epilogue after this, so I will definitely have this story finished before January 1, 2011.
Anyway…
On with the story.

Chapter 8: Secrets of the Guardians
Previously:
*Third Person POV, Tree of Beginning*
Standing in front of the Aura Guardians, Protectors of Truth, and friends were a small army of Team Infinity Operatives and the Team Infinity Leader himself, Bryan Blaze.
Bryan screamed to his minions, "Attack them, Destroy the Aura Guardians until they are no more. Kill the Protectors of Truth and their friends."
With that all of us sent out or strongest Pokémon/ the Pokémon we had with us and prayed for the best.
*Ash's POV, Tree of Beginning*
This is it, the final battle; we either save the Infinite Trio or die trying.
Argh better watch where I stand.
I side stepped away from the spot I was in before yelling, "Pikachu Thunderbolt,"
Ahhh, reminds me of the times I spent getting rid of Team Rocket, and getting rid of these idiots won't be that much harder.
May was standing not that far from me commanding Blaziken to use Firespin and Blazekick at the same time to confuse the opponent about the real attack, yet make it look beautiful.
She still loves coordinating, even though she hasn't been in a contest in years.
Dawn and Paul were next to each other, ordering different combination attacks with Empoleon and Torterra.
Gary was soaking the Infinites with water, then Leaf was hitting with powerful Grass-type attacks from Venusuar, which were intensified from the energy the water gave them.
Misty was sneaking around through the battle field, we had planned it for her to find the Infinite Trio then use her Staryu's and Starmie's Rapid-Spin to cut open the cages, the rest of us were just cover.
Drew had moved over to May to add his additional grace and skill to May's in order to defeat their opponents.
They would make a great tag-team in contests; their opponents wouldn't have a chance.
Delphina was having Mr. Mime use Light Screen to trap Infinites, and then Riley and Ilene used their Lucarios' Aura Spheres to annihilate them.
Max and Audrey were fighting together, using Tropius and Meganium respectively. Who knew that one dual Grass and Flying type along with one dual Grass and Poison type could be so powerful when working together?
Sir Aaron and his Lucario were sending Aura Spheres at every Infinite that they could see.
Reggie and Johanna were working together using, Johanna using Umbreon's dark powers to make the Infinites fall asleep and to give the opponents terrifying nightmares, and Reggie using Swallot to crush the sleeping Infinites into pulp.
I don't know how we are going to clear all this blood out of the Tree of Beginning, thank goodness all the Pokémon knew to leave before the battle.
Everything was working to plan; everyone else that had come with us was doing their own fair share of kicking Team Infinity butt.
Brock and Pike Queen Lucy, for some strange reason she liked him, were fighting together, with Brock using Onix and Lucy using Seviper, who knew two snake-like Pokémon with completely different types could work together so well?
My attention was suddenly snapped away when an arrow whizzed past my head, I turned to see none other than Bryan Blaze behind me. I guess he went after me because I was relatively alone and vulnerable, as if.
I glared at him before asking, "What the heck do you want? Can't you seen that we are winning, and it's better if you just quit now, before losing more personnel?"
Bryan smirked then laughed like a crazy maniac, before saying, "Do you really think that I didn't anticipate this, I have my strongest personnel guarding the Infinite Trio, and by the way the girl's a keeper."
That did it, I ran toward Bryan before punching him with a first infused with Aura, Bryan took three steps back after I hit him.
Hopefully I broke his jaw; no one says that about Misty, she is mine.
A/N: LOL Ash punched someone because he is over protective about Misty. (^_^)
Bryan laughed again, but stopped when he started coughing up blood. He then said, "Do Aura Guardians actually feel love or lust, or are they just forced to reproduce to keep the Aura alive. I think it's the latter, which is why I think all Aura Guardians are worthless pieces of dirt that should die."
A/N: Where does Bryan get this stuff, me obviously, but where do I get this stuff…. I'll stop interrupting the story with Author Notes now.
I wanted to kill Bryan for that comment, but he didn't deserve a quick and not really that painful death, he deserved a long and slow agonizing death.
I raised my hand up and yelled, "Aura Sword"
A black, white, gold, and blue sword appeared in my hand, I backed away from Bryan and fake widened my eyes, to make him think something was behind him, when he turned I shouted, "Pikachu Thundershock and Thunder-Wave."
Both the attack hit their mark, which was Bryan. The attacks paralyzed him while also sending powerful electric currents through his body, causing severe pain to him.
I put my foot to his neck, a sign to show that I am now his superior and he has no chance left, but instead of sending my Aura Sword through his chest, I left him there, in extreme pain with Pikachu making sure he stayed that way, and went to search for Misty.
I hope I still have time….
To Be Continued….
I know that was really short, not even reaching the thousand word mark, so I decided to continue it, Enjoy. ^_^
*Misty's POV, Team Infinity Base in the Tree of Beginning*
I can't believe I was that stupid; Bryan would never leave the Infinite Trio unattended.
I hope someone finds me before they do something.
One of the Infinite Admins, his name tag said Boris, seriously which admin wears a name tag, walked up to me and said, "I wonder what it would be like to be the father of a child that could be an Aura Guardian."
I screamed, but since I was bound and gagged, no one could hear me and I couldn't escape on my own.
Boris smirked and reached a hand over to me, but before it could even touch me, he screamed in pain, I stopped crying and looked up to see that he had been skewered with an Aura Sword, and the Aura Guardian using the sword was none other than Ash.
Ash walked over to me and untied me as fast as Aura Guardianly possible.
As soon as he was done, I stood up and started sobbing in his arms like there was no tomorrow.
Ash hugged me tightly, while whispering soothing words into my ear.
After a while I straightened myself up, I motioned for Ash to follow me, but he caught me by the wrist and kissed me fully on the lips.
We broke apart after two minutes, because I suddenly remembered something.
I practically screamed to Ash, "The Rules!"
Ash stared at me for a second before saying, "Arceus Damn the Rules."
I bet that somewhere in the Hall of Origin Arceus was laughing at what Ash just said.
I smiled at Ash's comment before grabbing his hand and dragging him toward the chamber that held the Infinite Trio.
When we got to the chamber we were met with a gruesome sight, Dialga was tending to the wounds of a very bloody Palkia and an unconscious Giratina.
As soon as we entered, Dialga lunged at us thinking were where the enemy, but Ash and I quickly yelled, "Aura Barrier," to save ourselves.
Upon seeing the Aura Barrier Dialga realized we were not a threat and asked us, Can you heal them?
Ash and I nodded before yelling, "Aura Heal."
Our Aura healed the Infinite Trio, but healing them left us extremely weak.
Before leaving Palkia stopped and said, Thank you for your help, here take these Oran Berries, they work on Aura Guardians as much as they work on Pokémon.
Ash and I accepted the berries and ate them, replenishing our energy.
The Infinite Trio left in their respective ways after making sure their saviors were okay.
Misty and I smiled and left the base.
*Sir Aaron's POV, Battle Field*
All the Infinites had been defeated here, and Arceus told me that all the other Infinities were also dead.
I felt bad for the Tree of Beginning though, it's once crystal clear streams ran blood red now.
All of us were now looking at the Base Entrance waiting for Misty to come out with the all clear, but we were more than shocked to see both Ash and Misty come out.
Misty was being held up by Ash, so I guessed she was either, hurt or tired.
Ash and Misty walked over to us before Ash passed Misty over to Delphina, and leaving.
We all looked at Ash strangely before he yelled, "I have to put Bryan out of his misery."
None of us truly knew what he meant by that, but we all figured it out when we heard a final loud yell of pain, before seeing Ash walk back to us.
Our mission was complete.
*Max's POV, Rota Central Park, a few hours later*
Purifying the Tree of Beginning took forever, but at least now the Pokémon can return to it.
Audrey was leaning against my shoulder, while everyone else was just lazing about doing nothing.
The people that were here included all our closest friends and family, all the Elites, Gym-leaders, and Champions had gone back to where they belonged, after Arceus congratulated them and made them swear to never tell anyone that we are alive.
We need the peace and quiet, and the fewer people that know we are alive the better.
I turned toward Audrey and tapped her head; she looked up and asked, "What?"
I replied, "Nothing, except how it's ironic that all this crazy stuff started here and here we are again."
Audrey shook her head then said, "This crazy stuff didn't just start here, it started because of the SECRETS OF THE GUARDIANS."
And everything is perfect.
That was a perfect, ending, the epilogue will probably be up tomorrow to answer a few more questions and add some-you'll find out.
Review. ^_^
