Chapter Ten: False Memories

"While my army fight against your army," said the grim voice of Dahlia Hawthorne. "I'll be mixing your everything up."

"What do you mean?" May asked. Inside she was seething, gritting her teeth.

"Oh nothing for you to worry about," Dahlia snorted. "Just going to force some flashbacks on you." Dahlia's nails flashed as she spoke. The white world faded into a black night. Dahlia faded, but Ash and May remained in the same spot. Dahlia released a whirlwind so fierce, they were forced to shut their eyes.

"I will torture you with planted flashbacks that don't exist."

Ash knew that many people would think of him badly. It didn't matter any more as long as he had May. He was wondering if May had used the gun she he gave her. The gun must have been stolen. He was thinking of what the Orre region would be like? He had seen pictures of it before and it looked very beautiful May would love it.

The gun was still in May's hand. She then protected it in her pocket. She was carrying a shiny dark purple handbag carrying her purse and money. There was fear lurking in her. Fear lurked because she might get caught by the police and go to prison before even seeing Ash and running away with him but by looking at the surroundings there was nothing but pokemon sleeping peacefully around her. Ash had told her to wait outside the pokemon centre in Viridian city. May obliged gladly. She entered Viridian city in relief.

Ash stood outside the pokemon centre of Viridian city hoping May was coming as quick as she could. He banged his head on the wall. He was losing his mind over May. He wanted to go to the Orre region with her alone to see more of her. He felt some sudden hunger for her and lost all interest in Misty despite the promises he made to Misty which broke. He didn't want to break any promise to May at all and he didn't want to go crazy in front of her. He loved her too much. None of it cared to him he just wanted to see May.

Ash saw someone walking from a distance he saw a black coat. He assumed it wasn't May because black wasn't her style. Then he had a second thought he saw brown hair lurking through showing she was a girl and it could be May. Ash decided to walk towards the brunette walking towards him. As the distance closed he saw sapphire eyes glistening at him as May's cute face appeared at him.

When Ash realised it was May and May noticed Ash they ran quicker towards each other Ash's suitcase trying to catchup with him whilst Pikachu felt like he was going to fall of Ash's shoulder. As soon as Ash and May reached contact they embraced in a hug. Their lips joined sooner afterwards. Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and could see Ash was in harmony. The kiss between Ash and May broke and they both smiled at each other

"Did you use that gun?" Ash asked May. She nodded at him.

"I killed Drew," May admitted.

"We better run away quick."

"Have you got the tickets?" May asked resting her head onto Ash's shoulder. Ash pulled two tickets out of his pocket and made May face him. He grinned at her showing the tickets.

"Let's go!"

"How do you feel to be a murderer?" Dahlia asked May. "Open your eyes bitch these flashbacks are real!"

May spun around and Ash had disappeared. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM?" May screamed.

"I've kicked him out of here," Dahlia responded. "He's in the middle of a bloodbath, dare I say." Dahlia and May were surrounded by black and orange flames. This was Dahlia's world. She could recreate anything she wanted and it would happen. She asked for the dark ocean, and the dark ocean returned and greeted the pair of them with grey fog. May gasped. She held onto her chest as she dodged toxic spikes that gathered round the room. Dahlia chuckled. "What's wrong May? You don't like it all by yourself do you?"

"How did you get all this power?" May murmured.

"From those who joined me," Dahlia announced. She waved her arms in the air and laughed. Her biceps flashed black and white. "I've trapped you all. For every one my monsters, heartless, demons, ghosts, pokemon, and slaves that is defeated or retires from battle, their soul enters me. Your victory will only make me stronger, but you will lose no matter what. I will inherit their skills, personality traits and power. Is it any wonder that I will take over the world."

"Wishful thinking..."

Dahlia's nails ejected thick green ivy with solid thorns wrap itself around May. May screamed as she tried to get herself out. Dahlia looked down to May and smirked. She kicked May in the face and rolled her down.

"NOW SIT BACK AND RELAX!" Dahlia demanded. She roared at the top of her voice. Sit back while I manipulate even more of your flashbacks.

A green-haired boy sat restfully in the beach hut. He smiled at old photos of May. She appeared cheerful, active and innocent in the photos. If only she was like that now. Drew's heart sank. He felt his eyes filling up with water, how could May end up the way she was. It was all Ash's fault he made her his bottom-girl. However at times it knew it was his fault; He didn't protect her enough. He looked at his weapon it was a little box of powder. He didn't know what it contained and he didn't want to know. Powder for a weapon. I am not going to pass this test. Harely was out on patrol protecting him since he felt too weak to do protect himself. 10B didn't give a rats ass about them either. They had the colt python, they could have at least gave one of them to him.

He heard screaming in the background. He buried his head; the door opened he threw the photoes of May over to the corner where no one could see them. He heard breathing. He saw a torch near the side of the intruder's leg. It's a girl that's good. Probally Mitsuko, no Mitsuko's legs were prettier. Who can it be. whoever it is it can't be May.

"No one's here," A feminine voice came out. It was indeed not sexy enough for it to be Mitsuko and he reconised the accent all too well.

May, what's he done to her. Don't tell me he killed Harely. Oh my fucking god don't tell me
"SHIT!" Drew accidently shouted out. Female knees dropped to the floor. May smiled at Drew with tears rolling down her face.

"Drew," May cried out, dropping her bag on the floor. "Thank god it's you!"

"May" Drew replied throwing his sympathy at her starting to touch her cheek. "What's he done to you?"

"Who Ash?" May asked. "He's gone plain crazy, he slit Naruto's butt with a sickle. I can't do that, killing is too much to for me. He's just killed Harely."

"Stay with me" Drew offered. "We can both hide together."

"Yeah" May replied as her eyes dried out "Hide together." They both collapsed together in a hug. May ain't bad after-all, she just hangs with the wrong crowd.

May giggled slightly as she rested her head on Drew's shoulder. She felt secure but she knew it was only for the short term. Her upset and distraught figure had Drew absorbed. May sighed she took a deep breath as she was now beginning to get suffocated by Drew who was hugging her tighter and she could feel him on her bra strap; it made her uncomfortable.

"People can be so cruel," Drew announced. "I promise you this I'll protect you for now and until the end of time. Some people will do it for the money and no one's going home until the robots are destroyed. You can stay here, I'll keep you safe, just the two of us."

"Drew," May smiled. "I feel safer already." May grabbed something from her side pocket. She knew that the time was right. "SUPRISE!"

Drew gasped. He felt something sharp stab his neck. The sharpness curved perfectly around his neck. He was speechless and helpless. He felt his fresh warm blood leak out of his neck and the blood splurting of of his neck.

"I don't need your protection Drew!" May snapped in a more deranged figure and tone of voice. "Ash taught me so much. The meaning of life, it's all a sick and twisted game called reality. His protection is all I need. I know your intentions were good but it's not enough. Nothings ever enough. He's all I need and I'm gonna fight for him. If he kills I kill too. If he dies I DIE TOO!" May sharply twisted her sickle away from Drew's neck. The sickle went towards her and she felt the blood trigger on her face. She felt the blood on her red clothes. She took a huge breath. This was crazy she was aware of that but as long as Ash was with her standing by her side. She couldn't care less. "It's the Paranoia Wars Community... my team are going to win it!"

"Paranoia Wars Community?" May gasped. "I killed Drew twice? How is that possible? Wait where are my..." May had forgotten what she was about to say. She was dumbstruck by what had been shown before her.

"Oh dear," Dahlia said. She tutted as she impersonated Larxene's sadistic dance. "All those people are real. You and Ash caused so much destruction to those beybladers. 48 of you were chosen to play the game and only 18 of you survived."

"That can't be true," May whimpered and slammed her head against the marble floor.

"But it is!"

"What is this Paranoia Wars Community?" May asked. "Who is Kari? She sounds familiar."

"Kari is an irrelevant bitch," Dahlia replied. "I thought Ash was the only one who mattered to you? Surely you know about Paranoia Wars Community. It's when a bunch of people are thrown on an island to destroy some robots. Your every move is monitored."

Seven AM. The sky was a fresh shade of blue, surrounded by greyness of the clouds. There was silence, cold silence. Boredom had kicked into Sasuke Uchiha's feelings. The prize money was on his mind. Money had never intriged him so much before. Ninety thousand yen, was a very tempting offer. It would have been very simple to talk Sakura into letting her give her share of the money to him. One way or another, that would be fourty five for himself.

Rei and Minako from thier group. They had been useful in their part destroying that annoying talking robot. He didn't have any idea that the robots would have been capable of having speech. Sasuke assumed that the robots abilities would have been informed to them. Perhaps, it was an element of surprise.

Sasuke had been relieved, at least the members in his group were not useless. Despite their use, Sasuke wouldn't care less about the fate of 4B. The reason being was that he figured out he could win hands down. He may not have the best weapons, but he had the knowledge and mind of a warrior.

Sasuke had been alone for the past five minutes. Sakura was getting to know Rei and Minako. Not that Sasuke cared, he was just deep in thought right now. He had always been deep in thought.

He heard noises. The noise came over from the left. He jumped to his feet, he ran to the over tree. He was looking down on the green grass. The noises became louder. It disturbed Uchiha deeply. Then where he was, two naked people. One male, the other female. A brunette girl and a raven-haired boy.

She was breathing heavy. She was screaming his name loud enough to cause an earthquake. Sasuke's eyes were locked into them. He had to admit, May was incredible cute and quite developed for a teenager. Ash appeared as if he quite enjoyed it himself. Now if only he could tame Sakura like that.

Sasuke had been becoming rock hard just witnessing them preforming such an act. Not that he had seen it before. Only Ash and May had some kind of passion with each other which made them stick together. A couple that slay together stay together. These two certainly do follow that rule. Sasuke witnessed the whole thing between 10A and 1A. Their quick and tragic departures.

"If he dies, I die too!"

Sasuke remembered her screaming those words out to Drew. Such passion, such commitment, such determination. If he was given that much commitment, he would surely fuck that girl till she couldn't see straight. If only Sakura said words like that.

Too bad they were both going to die. He would love to see them die together. It was perfect. They were Romeo and Juliet and Mickey and Mallroy. The ninja now wondered, how long would they last? He predicted, they would last for a long time, if they were to live.

Hanging upside down from a tree branch, Sasuke peered through the leaves. It certainly not something you see every day. Sasuke turned his head both ways.

"Who were they?" May asked. "I don't remember those two."

"Let's drown Tyson in the well Tracey!" The red head girl shouted to the guy next to her.

"Good Idea Misty!" Tracey replied with no remorse. To them four it all seemed like fun.

"Kinomiya you Fucking faggot!" The wild brunette snapped as he flicked his foot on his back. The navy haired girl pulled onto Tyson's pony tail.

Tyson now recognised their voices. Misty, Tracey, Gary and Dawn. They were all friends with Ash Ketchum. Tyson had no idea who of the five were more dangerous but he knew that Gary and Ash had started to pimp Dawn Pearl and May Maple. He still felt the punches and kicks on him. He didn't scream, he had felt worse things than being kicked around. He still heard all four giggle. As his head was banged on a round circular brick wall.

"Let's push him in!" Dawn screamed as she and Gary grabbed onto Tyson's legs. Misty and Tracey stood there giggling. The four in unison and giggling. "KINOMIYA, DIE YOU FUCKING FAGGOT!" Misty and Dawn ran away giggling, Tracey was too. Gary smirked to himself as he pushed Tyson in the well and ran to join the others

Tyson thought he was going to die. He thought he would drawn. He felt nothing. No water just air. Someone breathing on his felt two hands carry him. Moving outwards. Tyson had no idea what was going on. Did he pass out? Was it all a nightmare. He opened his eyes smelling a strong scent of musk. A cheek with blue triangles. "Kai..."

"Tyson!" Kai called whilst placing him on a dry rock. "I was worried about you."

Yes Kai had changed. Because Kai was never worried about anything or hated to admit it.

"I'm OK!" Tyson replied as he grunted in pain. He wasn't OK; he just diodn't want Kai to worry about a thing. The bluenette clasped his hands onto Tyson's shoulders.

"Just relax," Kai instructed. "It's only gonna make the pain worse." Tyson breathed, his face slowly faced Kai. "Let's check our weapons." Kai buried his arms in both of their bags. His face was in slight anger as he pulled out two pot lids. They were going to look like right idiots. How on earth were they going to get points with a pot lid. "Bastards" he muttered to himself.

"We're suppost to look out for each other with pot lids" Tyson giggled to himself. "I wish I had dragoon with me. Where's Miyu and Chisato?"

"They're asleep." Kai confirmed whilst digging into his bag for a first aid kit. "Chisato was out like a light when we got here. Don't worry we'll find Rei, Max and Kenny" Kai was confident in the tone of his voice. "We will get through this together."

"I don't know..." Tyson whispered as he placed his head down. "Sorry about this Kai... I just don't like anybody any more."

Kinomiya, fucking faggot!

The word faggot was stuck into his mind. He couldn't help falling in love with Kai. He was just a teenager. If it wasn't for Kai he would have died. He would not have been comftable in this situation without him. Still the word faggot had been stuck in his mind.

"NO!" May screamed. "They wouldn't do a thing like that to anybody!"

"How can you be so sure?" Dahlia asked.

"They look like such nice people."

"Do you know who they are?"

"I can't remember them. But I see their faces."

"Perhaps this will shake you up."

Eiri Yuki made his way in the hall. He witnessed confused eyes im front of him. He flicked back his blond hair as the lights shined before him. He threw his items on the plain classroom desk. He took a quick look at the teenagers. Few were in uniform. "Good afternoon I am Eiri Yuki," He announced it as if it didn't matter but it did. "I see we have a decent mix of teenagers here." Yuki commented. "This year's gonna be more intense than last year." Yuki faced his left. Mariah Chou a girl with candy-floss hair was whispering to Rei Kon. Yuki did not find it polite. How rude of them to whisper. Secretly he wondered how someone would react if he threw a fag at someone. Following his instinct, he threw his burning cigarette at the Mariah's cheek. "No whispering please."

The pink girl screamed as she held her cheek. The Rei's eyes raged. He threw his anger at Yuki as he ran to him. "YOU BASTARD!"

Yuki froze and sighed as he pushed up his glasses. Typical some people never learn. "This is a basic rule," Yuki told him. "When someone is speaking" he huffed leaning his face closer to Rei. "Shut the fuck up and listen." He glared at him as he returned to his seat.

"Yuki!" Naruto whined. "I need to use the bathroom."

"Can't you wait Naruto" Yuki replied confirming a refusal of his request. "Man I'm so exited."

"Hey what's going on here?" Gary shouted.

"How did we get here?" Misty asked.

"OK settle down" Yuki called, something came to his attention. Like a wake up call. Tyson Kinomiya the guy wearing red was still asleep after the abduction. "Hopefully we are all awake for the lesson," Yuki pointed out sarcastically. "KINOMIYA WAKE UP!" He took out a silver gun from his pocket aiming it on the floor. Most of the female crowd were sleeping.

"HUH!" Tyson fell of his chair and banged his head. "What the fuck?!"

"You are taking part of the Paranoia Wars Community test" Yuki grinned at him. "You all are."

"Test?" Tyson whispered. "Holy shit"

"OK!" Yuki called out. "Everybody shut up and watch the fucking video."

The television opened. With huge letters spearing on the screen along with a voice.

How to pass the Paranoia Wars Community's test of destruction

The deep voice reminded them all of Bugs Bunny. It was all too quick for them. They had no idea what was going on. They just knew that they were going to do this test.

"Eh what's up Docs? I'm Bugs Bunny and I'm gonna teach how to pass the Paranoia Wars Community Test."

They all knew him all right. The problem was Bugs Bunny looked really hyper.

"During the past month, everyone's been nominating teenagers they want to participate in the Paranoia Wars Community Test. We checked every nomination, researched your past. Had a look at your achievements and we've selected the best 48. The best 48 are you guys! Congratulations you are all winners!"

"Thank you!" Yuki cheered. Beginning to make the scenery as a nursery. The teenagers felt like they were being treated as if they were thick. What on earth was going on here? Yuki and bugs Bunny were really enthusiastic and they were like what the fuck was going on.

"All right folks, we are all on an island that looks like this. You will be the humans in the island so you better be careful. Back to the test; robots patrol the island, in order to pass the test you have to destroy the robots it's simple. However there's a little catch and this is where things get dangerous.
A point structure which your instructor Yuki, has written on the board"

"Jeez. My head." A boy with blue hair said. "What a bump. That guy sure put up a fight." Then he noticed he wasn't at his school anymore. He was in a classroom, with people he had never seen before. Complete strangers, only few had a school uniform on which was completely different to their uniform "Whoa, what happened?" he asked.

"Hey kid, you're slow. We've been abducted and chosen to participate in a test of destruction." A girl with sand-coloured hair told him. "They said we were the most qualified."

"What's this? Mr. Eric finally wakes up. You certainly put up the biggest fight out of anyone else here. Your reflexes were superb." Yuki said. Then his eyes narrowed sharply. "Now the grown up's are talking so shut up."

Eric sent his own glare back at Yuki, one that made Yuki himself gulp in fear. He turned around. "All right. The point structures, as Mr. Bunny said, are here." He tapped the board. "So I suggest you listen well to what I say, because I'm not going to repeat myself."

"Hmmm...Just you wait, old man. The Black Cat will kill you." Train Heartnet whispered to himself. His friend, Saya, was three rows behind him. "Just give me a weapon and I'll..."

"Or you'll what Train?" Yuki snapped. They both glared at eachother. Yuki grinned again. "Read the board," Yuki ordered, "Or I'll rearrange your face with lovely bullets."

"Fuck you!" Train whispered as he returned to his seat.

As they read the board, fear trembled in some of their bodies, they knew now that this was no longer a joke.

Destruction of robots 500 points
Attack human 100
Grevious bodily harm 750
Killing a human all points double

"Are you reading the board," Yuki snapped then he pulled a grin as soon as he saw the horror on their face. "I take that as a yes." He faced the TV screen giggling to himself peacefully. "Over to you Mr Bunny."

Rule number one, no one can attack a member of his or her own group. 500 points will be lost to any group who disobeyed this rule

Rule number two, stay out of the three danger zones that change daily

Rule number three, about the collar necklace you are wearing. It monitors your pulse and also it's there so we know what you're up to. So if you are in a danger zone, getting into trouble, we can track you. Your collar will trigger an alarm and it explodes. Also of your partner dies the other your collar detonates after 24 hours of his or her death. Don't bother trying to rip it off cause it will to also explode."

"BASTARDS!" A brunette girl screamed. As she charged over to Yuki.

"Hilary!" Tyson called, "Don't be crazy."

Yuki took a gun out of his pocket whilst Hilary pulled on his blonde locks. "Don't make me shoot," Yuki whispered. His voice only angered Hilary more as she attempted to kick Yuki. He didn't yell he just had a held on his gun.

"Hilary!" Tyson moaned stepping forwards whilst his friends were trying to push him back. "Just stop it!"

Yuki grabbed onto Hilary's wrist. Hilary was beginning to scream, she carried on him a sick bastard. Hilary attempted to kick Yuki where it would hurt the most. Yuki got Hilary's right leg stuck between his legs. He pushed Hilary's top towards his chest swivelled her over then kicked her on her buttocks. Then he shot her where he had kicked her. Hilary cried, Tyson dashed over to see her. Tyson turned Hilary over and helped her get up. Yuki smiled with no remorse. There were blood stains on the floor, Tyson looked over at his friend Hilary.

"Are you alright Hilary?" Tyson asked her. Hilary continued to cry still complaining about Yuki hurting her.

"Yuki why are you doing this?"

Yuki aimed his gun at Tyson and pulled the trigger. Tyson yelled a loud ouch as a shot of red splurged out his arm. The force of the gun forced him to roll over to the ground at least four times. He gritted his teeth and held his shot arm. "Cause I want to." Yuki replied coldly.

"Tyson!"

All who knew Tyson gathered around him, they helped him up. The bluenette from the group glared at Yuki.

"Bastard!" Kai splurged out about to attack Yuki too. Rei and Max pushed him backwards so he wouldn't get shot either. As soon as they calmed down Yuki pulled a huge smile as he pushed Hilary over to the rest of the teenagers. Kai had grabbed Tyson and allowed him to rest on his chest. Kai saw the large spots of blood on the floor. Kai's eyes glared at Yuki. He only knew him for half an hour and he already hated his guts.

"Do whatever you want," Yuki announced, "but nobody's going home... until all 4000 robots are destroyed!" Everybody had a tragedy to go home to. "However you may want to know this, the group with the most points after all the robots are destroyed is...ninety thousand yen between your group. So that would be about 22,500 each of you." Yuki stepped closer to the teenagers feeling triumph. "I shall be given you 2 updates at day. One in 6:00 am and the other in 6:00 PM, I shall not be repeating any of the reports so if you miss them, then bad luck."

Everything was serious now. As a military group marched in with bags, the military arrival added extra pressure on them all. The confusion a contagious disease, they looked at the screen, even Bugs bunny had a serious look on his face. His posture was very different.

"We've notified everyone" Yuki announced "Go for it. Any questions before we start the test?"

"I have one." Mariah breathed

"Go ahead Mariah," Yuki announced as he jumped on the table.

"Why are you doing this?"

"You know Mariah," Yuki announced "Your brother Lee deeply opposed the nomination of you and Rei." Yuki silently stepped towards the scrolling bed that was rolled to him. He swept away the cloth showing gore before their eyes. The face appeared as it a strawberry pies had been thrown on his face constantly. His chest was an open side to a jam sandwich. Loud screaming invaded the room; Yuki was instantly hated. "What are you guys screaming about?!" Yuki announced. "This is an example of a retard," Yuki announced casually at the dead naked corpse. "Because of folks like him, Hilary, and Eric; this planet is a shit hole." Every one glared at him with angry eyes causing Yuki to make a piercing smile. "Back to the rabbit"

"You will all be leaving in your groups so once your instructor says your pair collect your bags, wait until the other pair in group are called then you can go. That's all from me folks good luck!"

The TV remained blank and dull. "I shall start with 1A" Yuki started "Ash Ketchum and May Maple"

A raven-haired boy and a brunette walked over to the front of the class having the attention gazed upon him.

"All for us May" Ash whispered in May's ear. "Think of no one but us."

"OK" May replied as she grabbed the bag clearly marked 1A. "We gotta wait for our team mates now"

"Both look eager to go" Yuki commented. "A perfect attitude, hopefully the other pair will be more than willing. 1B TK Takaishi and Kari Kamiya"

A blonde boy wearing green and a bright brown haired girl wearing mostly pink and wearing yellow pants ran up to 1A.

"Kari!" An auburn haired boy wearing goggles on his head cried to her. "You're still my friend."

"I know." Kari nodded as she grabbed her bag and followed the rest of her group outside.

"Next 2A Tyson Kinomiya and Kai Hiwatari." Yuki called out.

"Tyson," Kai whispered into his ear. Kai's voice made the butterflies in Tyson's stomach go wild. "Is your arm OK?"

"I think so," Tyson whispered.

"Then let's go" Kai decided as he helped Tyson get up. Screw that Yuki bastard he can fuck himself. Tyson felt safe around Kai's shoulder. Kai was a soul mate to him. They have both been through so much and it started and ended with each other.

Kai felted angry; there was hatred in his heart not at Tyson but at those who had betrayed him and Tyson. He grabbed both his and Tyson's bag on his right shoulder and placed his left arm around Tyson. Tyson still had his hand at were he was shot.

"2B Chisato Inoue and Miyu Yamano" Yuki shouted. There was no answer. "2B," Yuki repeated his tone of voice louder and angrier. "Chisato Inoue and Miyu Yamano!"

Two girls stood up. One with reddish brown hair and the other was a brunette with a unique hairstyle. Chisato stuck herself close to Miyu who walked towards the front of the room as if didn't matter where she was going.

"Sometime this week would be nice!" Yuki snapped impatiently. "Grab your bags and get the fuck outta here"

Eric continued to glare at Yuki, who was starting to sweat from all the killing intent the teenager was throwing at him. Yuki had become a new enemy. "Next is 3A Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga." he said. The two teens looked at each other, and only one of them blushed. They walked up, grabbed their bag, and ran outside, into the already chaotic mess the others made. "3B, Davis and Ken, you're up." Yuki announced. Like Naruto and Hinata, Davis and Ken stood up, grabbed their stuff, and ran out as fast as they could. "4A Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno."

4A stood up walking away from their little corner. "The guy who nominated himself," Yuki stated. "Well it was worth it wasn't it." Both of them ignored them. Sakura removed fringe away from her forehead before picking up her bag. Sasuke appearance made it look like he didn't care at all what was going to happen to them. Like he only cared for himself.

The process pretty much repeated itself.

Pair 4B Rei and Minako
Pair 5A Gary Oak and Dawn Pearl
Pair 5B Train Heartnet and Saya
Pair 6A Hisae Aoki and Yukari Kashima
Pair 6B Misty Waterflower and Tracey Skechit
Pair 7A Alice and Lain
Pair 7B Namine and Roxas
Pair 8A Ino and Shikamaru
Pair 8B Kenny and Hilary
Pair 9A chikane and Himeko
Pair 9B Rei Kon and Mariah Chou
Pair 10A Drew and Harley
Pair 10B Kazou Kiriyama and Mitsuko Souma

until...

"11A Temari and TenTen." Yuki annouced. Two girls got up. They nodded to each other, grabbed their bag, and ran. "I was afraid of this moment. 11B Rei Ayanami and Eric Strife." The two got up. They looked like twins since they both had blue hair and red eyes. They looked at each other, nodded, and walked up to Yuki. Yuki was scared of Eric now. He gave Yuki an insane grin and he pointed his thumb down. "I'll send you down to hell." He swore and Rei hesitantly touched his shoulder, and pointed at the door. "Remember that." Eric said as they grabbed their bag and ran. "Well, the worst is over now. 12A and 12B, just grab your bag and go." Yuki ordered. The two groups grabbed their bags and left.

"Naruto, what will we do?" Hinata asked. Each of their bags contained jack knives. "Hey, we're ninja, with these we're a force to be reckoned with." Naruto told her with a smile. "So stop worrying." Hinata blushed a very dark shade of red. "This is what we do if we find a robot we destroy it." Naruto confirmed "we don't need to kill anybody. Believe it!"

"Naruto," Hinata blushed. "Thank you!" She jumped over to hug Naruto, which even made Naruto blush and laugh.

"It's nothing," Naruto replied, "Whoever did nominate us probably thought that we were brilliant and we would pass this test. It's like another ninja mission." Naruto was acting bold in his words. "We even get a chance to win money too." He paused and lowered his head down to Hinata. "Money however doesn't buy happiness. It would be lovely to have that 90 grand for us."

"If we do win," Hinata whispered. "We could share it between us and spend it to improve the hidden leaf village." Hinata paused; she felt her heartbeat getting faster. "That's a brilliant idea Hinata!" Naruto announced. "I will finally get the respect from the village I always wanted. Believe it! OOOWWWW!"

"NARUTO!" Hinata screamed as she felted Naruto jump onto her shoulder. "Are you OK?"

"My butt!" Naruto complained. "It's bleeding, oh my fucking god. Who ever did that was a fucking bastard!"

Hinata saw a raven-haired boy simply running as fast as he could.

"All right, Train. We hit the jackpot!" Saya said, looking at their bags. "Milk and Uzi for the both of us!" she said. Train put his hand over her mouth. "Don't shout. We need to stay quiet. Ok?" he asked. Saya nodded and hugged him. For all her excitement, she was still scared.

"Any robot we see," Train instructed, "We destroy it. Only kill when absolutely necessary."

"I thought you wanted to kill" Saya whispered.

"Not yet" Train replied. "We have to take this slowly and I want to get home quickly"

"Davis, what do you plan on doing?" Ken asked as they rested against a tree. "Find Kari, protect her cause TK won't do it. Ken, I love her. Hell if she dies on my watch." Davis declared. Ken put a hand on his head and looked away. "There's no stopping you when you put your mind to it." Ken muttered.

Eric stared at their weapons. "Leave the guns to me. I'm a sharpshooter." he said. Rei looked at him. "You're not much older than I am. How are you an expert gunman?" she asked. "Cause I'm all I got. No family. All dead in various accidents." Eric told her. Rei felt something. Something like pity for him. "Well, do you have a plan of action?" She asked. "Yeah, become friends with those who don't try to kill us. Kill those who try to kill us. That way we can end this thing faster." he told her.

"Temari, this won't do." TenTen said, looking at the binoculars. "Yeah, our ninja skills only work with actual weapons." Temari said. "So what do we do?" TenTen asked. "We're girls. We'll use our bodies to seduce a guy into protecting us. If the guy dies, we'll move onto the next one. Simple as that." Temari said. "I don't like the idea of losing my virginity just so I can be protected, but I'll do it to stay alive." Tenten said.

"A lot of them will do it for the money." A voice behind her spoke, she knew it all to well the love of her life standing behind her. The raven-haired boy smiled, as he knew exactly what he was doing. "People are cruel," Ash stated. "That's just life. May are you really that devoted to me?"

"Of course I am!" May snapped. "I'd do anything to maintain our love. ANYTHING!"
"I believe you," Ash smirked stroking May's cheek. "I gotta say you're a really good at everything you do. Now let's go and get ourselves freshened up."

As Ash and May's hands collapsed together, the placed their sickles back in their bags, and then they ran like the wind. On the soft white sand, in the dark hours of the morning, their breaths were getting louder. May felt like she was about to trip up. Ash was running to fast for her head was heating up. Her eyes were closing slowly and her foot movements were getting slow. She lost control of her left foot as she slipped on her right foot. Her head had landed on Ash's back she lost her grip of his hand. His arms caught her shoulders. She continued to breathe; she was trying to inhale some of the oxygen she had lost.

"May…" Ash was looking at the exhausted girl. "Are you okay? Do you need to rest?"

"Yeah, I don't need to rest," She exhaled. Her head was facing the floor. Her eyes where steaming up, she had promised herself not to cry in front of Ash. She didn't want to be weak in front of him. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on his arms.

May gritted her teeth. Unable to take the pain any more, she spread her legs and the ivy rope vanished. Dahlia stood back and watched in awe whilst her mouth crooked sideways. "These memories are painful."

"May hold yourself together. It's me, Kari. You might not be able to see me, but I can see you. Dahlia's using the digital world to manipulate you and your memories."

"Kari?" May looked up to the pink moon. Dazed and confused she looked back down, then rolled her head forward. "What do you mean?"

"Be strong May," Kari begged. "Everything will become clear to you in the end. Dahlia's using everybody's power to inject lies into your memories. She's trying to weaken you with everybody else's abilities because she has no power of her own."

"Quit your meddling you stupid woman!" Dahlia spat at the sky. "Now bow to the queen."

"You're no queen!" Kari shouted. "Now May, whatever happens, don't let Dahlia destroy your memories of Ash, Blaziken, Beautifly, your friends and your family. We're all fighting this battle for you. So please try to remember the truth!" "How's Ash?" May whispered. "Ash is fine. He and Pikachu are helping us fight. We'll bring someone in soon okay?"

"It's all fake," Dahlia hissed. "May, just do yourself a favour and die. It will make everybody's lives much easier."

May forced herself to speak. "I can't die... I must live for him."

A blue ocean wave surfed around May. She held onto the tide and watched as it sparkled around May. The waves followed May's fingers. When she raised her arms, the sea level rose too. She didn't know what was going on nor why the waters followed May's command, but she surfed ontop of the water that transformed into a waterfall.

"NO!" Dahlia yelled. "I won't accept this. This is my world. I'm suppose to control what happens here."

"You're wrong," May responded. "This was never yours in the first place. You came with nothing and you'll leave with nothing." Dahlia raised her arms and formed an x shape across her face. The ocean swallowed Dahlia whole and turned her body into black sludge. When May reached the bottom of the ocean floor, she witnesses the black sludge shrink into dust.

It wasn't long until May was back at the top of Dragonspiral tower. Many had fallen, but many stood victorious.
