~Meanwhile near Florence Town, Anubis and Teransu are seen quickly entering the town and seem to be headed towards Anubis's house. At the same time, Sylph appears to have noticed Anubis's return and is about to take action. Sylph is seen standing just outside the Battle College's main entrance.~
~Sylph's POV~
"Anubis?!," I suddenly yelled in shock of sensing my mates presence. (He's back, finally! But, he's so far away. I bet I can get to him if I start sprinting. It'll probably take till sunrise but who cares.) Then, just as I was about to run off from the Battle College's campus, I suddenly felt a large claw grab my arm. Quickly looking behind me, I noticed Lycan grabbing my arm with Tiger not too far behind him. "You're heading in the direction Anubis is aren't you," Lycan asked. "Don't waste my time obvious observations," I said snatching away from him. "That's not the point. Sylph, we want you to lead us to Anubis. We think someone really important to us helped him back," Tiger said looking me in eyes. (Ugh, they're wasting time!) "Fine, just follow me, but know I'm not slowin' down," I said quickly entering a running position. "I'll be right at your side," Tiger said leaning down so that Lycan could ride on his back. Then, the second Lycan mounted Tiger, I quickly took off in the direction I felt Anubis! ("Anubis,") I telepathically thought as I ran.
~Meanwhile in Florence town, Anubis is seen approaching his house when he suddenly stops and looks in the direction of the his college.~
~Anubis's POV~
(Sylph? I can feel him.) "Anubis, are you alright," Teransu asked rubbing my head lightly. Quickly snapping out of it, I looked at him and nodded smiling. Seconds later, I turned towards my house and smiled. With the dawn sky quickly approaching, I began to wonder if my parents were even awake. Continuing to walk towards my house, I quickly found myself at the front door with Teransu behind me. For some reason, I grew extremely nervous. (What's wrong with me? I shouldn't be struggling right now, this is all I've wanted for awhile now, so why am I struggling to open the door.) Taking a large inhale, I slowly grabbed the knob, began to turn it, and slowly push open the door. As I did, I quickly saw my Dad and Mommy looking at me with expression filled faces. "I'm home," I said quickly beginning to cry. As I did, my parents suddenly hugged and kissed on me violently. I laughed in joy and smiled in relief that I was able to feel them again. With tears running endlessly down my face, I hugged them both tightly.
As a few minutes passed things began to calm down. My father invited Teransu inside and shook his hand. "I can always rely on you, Teransu," My father said. "Anytime, Spencer," Teransu said blushing nervously. "Anubis, we heard about what happened from Lola and Damien," my mommy said with a bit of irritation in her voice. (Oh, then she probably knows that I had disobeyed Auntie Lola.) "I'm very upset with you, but I'm also really proud of you. Anubis, you've finally evolved into a Lucario. I so proud," She said hugging me lovingly and crying on my shoulder. "Thanks, mommy," I softly said wrapping my arms around her. "Anubis, we're both extremely proud of you, but I trained you better than that," my father said seemingly irritated. "I'm sorry, but being in the heat of things really messed up my thinking," I said sounding a bit down. "Spencer, leave him be. We'll talk about that later, right now, let's just focus on having our son back with us," Mommy said rubbing him head softly. As she did, I looked past her shoulder and saw the morning sun's light begin to fill the room. With it, I could feel the presence of my mate draw increasingly closer! It was almost like he was outside!
I quickly broke the hug from my mommy and ran out the front door! Shocked by what I did Teransu followed. "What's wrong, Anubis," he asked looking the the same direction I was. Pretty soon, my parents followed and asked the same. Seconds later, I saw Sylph, Tiger, and Lycan appear in front of my gate! "Anubis," he yelled suddenly running up and hugging me tightly, and kissing me on my neck as he did. "Sylph, you found me-," I said suddenly being interrupted by him passionately kissing me! I suddenly blushed and just let the kiss happen. I honestly forgot that my parents were right behind me watching. That's definitely gonna tricky to explain to them. Meanwhile, straight across from us, Teransu was seen been tackled to the ground by Lycan and Tiger.
"We've missed you, Teransu," Tiger said violently licked Teransu's face. "It's hard not being able to be with the person you love for such a long period of time, you know," Lycan said hugging Teransu lovingly. "Aww, I've missed you guys too, but-you morons left Snow all alone," Teransu said suddenly yelling and slamming Lycan and Tiger's heads together! That quickly caught me and Sylph's attention. "Ever since you guys were little pups I've always drilled teamwork into your heads! Leaving him is a sign that you completely forgot about that! Now, what do you think your older brother, Lykaios, would say if he were here," Teransu said standing. "He'd probably yell at us," Tiger said looking away with a smile. Lycan simply laughed on the sidelines. As he did, Teransu grew increasingly more serious and grabbed a Love ball from his pocket! "Lykaios, scold your brothers for me," he said quickly releasing Lykaios. The second he appeared Lykaios headbutted both Lycan and Tiger! "I'm not gonna repeat what Teransu said, but I will use this time to beat the living crap out of you Idiots," Lykaios said suddenly jumping on his little brothers.
Laughing as I did, Teransu quickly noticed me. "Oh, that's right, Anubis, will you and your partner have a battle with me," he excitedly asked. I quickly jumped back nervously. "Huh, what's this about? Trying to test their bond, Teransu," my father asked. "Of course, I wanna see if the bond between two Pokemon is stronger than the bond between a Human and a Pokemon," he said smiling. "Alrighty then, but to be fair, I was just doing the same… while comparing you and Anubis's auras' to your partners, I found all of you aren't that different," my dad said. (Basically, he was examined us without our consent… Congratulations, you've successfully made it on to my "Beware" list.)
"Fine, let's do this-," "Hold up, I have to give you something, Son," my dad said quickly interrupting me and walking up towards me. He quickly slipped me on a bracelet with a Lucarionite on it?! "A Mega Stone?! You can't seriously think I know how to use this," I said panicking. My father simply laughed as he backed up a bit. "Nubis, the stone won't activate when you want it to. I think it'll activate when the two of use are one… if that makes any sense," Sylph said looking Teransu in the eyes.
"Oh snap, we've got another sharp one. Lykaios, Lycan, I choose you two," Teransu said. As he did Lykaios and Lycan walked in front of him and entered a battle ready stance. Me and Sylph soon did the same. Sylph stood facing Lykaios and I stood facing Lycan. "Honestly, Honey, you just go back, are you sure you're ready for this," my mommy asked seemingly worried. I giggled a bit and smiled. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," I said focusing my eyes on Lycan. Silence quickly took the area. As it did the only sounds I could hear was a gentle breeze of wind pushing against the lush surrounding plant life. I slowly inhaled and quickly exhaled. As I did I could feel myself and Sylph become connected. It was almost as he we were breathing in harmony. Unfortunately, I could feel the same occurring behind Teransu and his Pokemon. Then, Teransu yelled: "Lykaios, Accelerock!" Pointing at me I quickly put up my guard and branched for his attack! The second he hit me, I found myself behind knocked off balance and falling to the ground, but before for I could hit it, Sylph grabbed my arm and pulled me up. As he did Lycan rushed at him using Thunder Fang! Seeing Lycan's attack in slow motion, I quickly used an aura sphere to send him flying back towards Teransu, but before I could, Lykaios jumped at me using Fire Fang. In that instant, Sylph tripped me and quickly threw a few Water Shurikens at him. Landing a direct hit, but doing little damage, Lykaios backed off. I quickly stood only to admediatly dodge a Brick Break from Lycan that separated me and Sylph. (Clever, I guess that move did exactly what he wanted. Now, if I had to guess, I'd say Lykaios was going to try another Fire Fang.) I quickly noticed a shadow be casted over me, I looked up and saw Lycan using Fire Fang?! "Damn, not enough time to dodge," I yelled, falling to my butt and letting Lycan bite my arm! (Damn it, Lycan's way stronger than I thought, he's nearly crushing the bones in my arm!) Quickly jumping with him still biting my arm, I focus punched him in the chest and sent him flying towards Teransu! Lycan seem to endure somehow. His body quickly began to glow with a bright red aura?! (He's using Counter!) Looking towards Sylph, I noticed that Lykaios was leading him right to Lycan!
I quickly formed a rope of aura to grab and pull him back towards me! Barely able to catch my breath, Lycan and Lykaios quickly claimed their paws on the ground using Stone Edge! Unable to dodge I branched for the attack, only to have Sylph jump in the way and take a direct hit! As the dirt settled, I saw Sylph injured and falling to his knees. "Anubis, if this is the best you and your partner have, then I gotta say… I'm disappointed," Teransu said. As he did, his words echoed in my head. Becoming filled with anger I me and Sylph quickly tighten our fist. Sylph slowly stood and was suddenly engulfed by a veil of water. As he was a light emerged from it and headed towards me. Within seconds it hit my Mega Stone and empowered it! I instantly began to glow with the light of evolution! "Disappointed? In me, now that's something I try to avoid at all times," I said suddenly breaking the light and appearing as a Mega Lucario! "This is the strength of our bond! I'm not about to sit back and let some Human say he's disappointed in that," Sylph said yelling and appearing out of the water veil as Ash-Greninja! standing side by side we quickly prepared ourselves for our next attack.
As we did Lykaios and Lycan stood smirking. In that same moment, Lykaios's eyes turned a blood red. "Now that's what I'm talking about! Lykaios, Lycan prepare yourselves," Teransu said yelling. Using Extreme Speed, I quickly appeared in Lykaios's face and hit him with Close Combat! He seemed to just barely endure the hit. When I backed off, he appeared to be wobbling side to side. (Nice, this battle is gonna be over with this next attack.) "Sylph, let's end this," I said raising my paw in the air and Beginning to form a Focus Blast. Sylph smirked and quickly started to form a Giant Water Shuriken above him. Looking towards Teransu, I noticed that he was moving oddly. "Lykaios, Inferno Overdrive! Lycan, Gigavolt Havoc," he yelled falling to his knees. As he did Lykaios and Lycan appeared to be gathering a crazy amount of Electrical and Fire energy. With all our attacks charged and ready, we quickly launched launched them at each other! In an instant Lycan's Gigavolt Havoc passed through my Focus Blast with ease and headed straight for me! Unable to dodge due to fatigue, I feel to my knees, only to have Sylph quickly jump in front of me and explode with electricity! The attack sent a powerful shock wave surging through both our bodies! Nearly passing out from the pain we caught a glimpse of Sylph's Giant Water Shuriken evaporating the second it made contact with the Inferno Overdrive! "Damn it," Sylph yelled tightly hugging me and preparing to take the attack! With in seconds of the attack hitting us, my father quickly stepped in and dispersed the attack somehow?! With me and Sylph looking dumbfounded our vision began to fade to black.
Spencer's POV
"Teransu, you could have killed them with that last combo," I said walking towards my son and his partner. (Honestly, he should have to me sooner that he'd found someone to love. That would have at least given me and Lucy some time to prepare ourselves… Geez, he really knows how to drop bombs on us.) With him and his partner's Mega Evolution breaking, I quickly looked towards Teransu and saw that he was breathing heavily while resting on Tiger. Meanwhile, Lycan appeared to be just fine, while Lykaios was knocked out. "Sorry, Spencer… I honestly didn't expect this much of a challenge from them. Your son and his mate are really something special," Teransu said still breathing heavily. As he he did, Lucy quickly ran over to check on Anubis's condition. "Thank goodness, our child's going to be fine, he's just really exhausted. The same applies to Sylph," she said running her soft paws on their foreheads. (That's good, I'll take them up to Anubis's.) "Alright, Dear, do me a favor and get the medical kit, we'll need to wrap and clean their wounds before we move them anywhere," I said to my beautiful wife who quickly stood and ran into the house. As she did, I looked towards Teransu. "I suppose I should thank you, Teransu. Because of you, I was able to get a good grasp of how strong Anubis really is.With that I should be able to develop a few tools that'll help in his growth while he's still in college. Ah, that reminds me. You entered three of your own Pokemon in the Battle College didn't you," I asked him. Quickly catching his breath he stood and nodded his head. "Yeah, Lycan, Tiger, and Snow are enrolled," He said quickly healing his Pokemon with a few medical items he pulled out of his book bag. As he did, Lycan and Lykaios began to stand. "No actually, Lycan and the others were supposed to tell me the ranking they got the moment they received it," He said slowly turning in anger towards them.
I laughed a bit and watched from a distance. "Well, Lycan and Tiger, what rank did the two of you end up getting," He said cracking his knuckles and jumping in their face. As he did, Lycan quickly turned away smirking. "Well, I got in Class A with Anubis, and Snow got in Class B," Tiger said attempting to mock Lycan. "I expected nothing less of you Tiger. But, I'm definitely going to have a word with Snow later… Now, what about you, Lycan," Teransu said hugging Lycan from behind. Lycan started Teransu in his for a second before answering. He soon smirked and answered. "Class D," He said laughing. (He's kidding?! I'm finding it really hard to believe that! Wait, he probably only did it because he wanted to climb the class rankings… That would make sense considering he's known for playing with Teransu the most. I would be surprised if he made it to Class A before the end of the year.) Looking back towards Teransu, I found that he had Lycan in a chokehold! "You're such a moron Lycan! If you don't step up your game I'm gonna put you through my special training method again," He yelled tightening his grip!
As he did, Lycan simply laughed playfully. "Don't worry, I only did it so I can climb the rankings," Lycan said laughing. As he did Teransu released Lycan. "You'd better, you moron," Teransu said softly. "Dear, let's move quickly," Lucy said running towards me with the medical kit. As a few hours pass, me and Lucy quickly cleaned and bandaged Sylph's and Anubis's wounds. When we finished I quickly headed to Teransu to have conversation about his Pokemon. Afterwards, he left sending Lycan and Tiger back to the Battle College.
~Meanwhile in Anubis's room, Sylph is seen beginning to awake next to Anubis who's still sleeping.~
~Sylph's POV~
Beginning to awake, I found myself in what I think is Anubis's room laying next to him. Also, the wounds I had received from battling Teransu's Pokemon had seemed to be cleaned and banged. Slowly beginning to sit up, my gaze instantly shifted towards Anubis. I began to feel a warmth from inside myself. As it did, a smile flew across my face and warm tears rolled down my eyes. Slowly, I brought my head down to Anubis's forehead and kissed him on his nose. "Nubis, that was stupid of ya'. Ya' know damn well that we're supposed to deal with dangerous things together. I don't think ya' know just how much I suffered when you went missin', I nearly broke cause from the stress of not bein' about to do nothin', and what's worse is, I could barely feel ya' presence when ya' did disappear," I said trying my best not to flood him in my tears. Closing my eyes, I tried my best to hold back my tears. Then, I suddenly felt the warmth of Anubis's paw in my face! I slowly opened my eyes and was shocked to find Anubis quickly pressing his lips against mine lovingly. Slowly, he reached for the back of my head and pulled me into an even deeper kiss.
Pulling out of the kiss, Anubis smiled and hugged me tightly. "Sylph, when I was stuck in Ultra Space, I honestly wanted die. I couldn't take the coldness and emptyness of the void. It was unbearable," he said beginning to cry violently on me. "The only reason I didn't try to kill myself was because I could just barely feel you. Your presence alone kept me warm in that hell," As he said that I could feel his hug tighten. Using my hand, I gently lifted his head and kissed him. "Never again, will we ever be that far apart again, I promise, I'm never gonna' let that happen to ya' ever again," I said lightly bumping foreheads with him and staring him in his beautiful... purple eyes?!
