Normally what I do with chapters is i make them... then hold them for a few days to see how they could be better. This chapter has been in work for about six days, which is a long time for me. Even so, i feel it has imperfections, but still, this is quite the action chapter... and also head up, a mild lemon is approaching. This is NOT the end, for sure, but there are more chapters being made as we speak. This was hard, and the reviews are right, this was the most difficult part of the story thus far. I hope i didn't bomb it. Enjoy, and please let me know what you thought of it.
Annie, praying that her brother had not noticed her absence. She cautiously looked around to see if her brother was lurking, waiting for her to return. She went into his den and saw he was still fast asleep, he woke up when she sat beside him.
"Annie… *yawn* hm… where were you last night?"
"Just roaming around, a little fresh air won't hurt right?" She lied. Jamie stood up and laughed.
"That is not what you did… you know that." She froze. Did he know? "Tell me… how is that Gardevoir hm?" He snarled before looking her direction.
"Wha-What are you talking about?!"
"Oh I'm not stupid. You already don't like my idea to purge her, but I will do it, and nothing you say will stop me." Annie growled.
"Maybe nothing I say, but what about what I will do?!" She fluttered her tails threateningly. Jamie did the same.
"You fight me? Laughable. You are weak, frail, too soft. After watching those two Pokémon suffer, it will be example to make you stronger." He drew back his alerted stance.
"So that is it?! That is the reason you wish to kill or curse them?! You realize the human loves that Gardevoir?! Are you willing to damn him too? Is that justice; or just power-hungry vengeance without reason to back it up? What would father or mother think of your actions!?" Jamie, furious at her words let out a powerful fire blast at Annie who strafed away, causing the back wall to catch fire.
"Do not question me! You will follow me and become strong! That is what mother and father would want!"
"They would want you to FORGIVE! Do you know what that means!? Forgive! Forgive!" She repeated over and over.
"Scurry weakling! Be gone from my sight you coward! GO! Go to that human, flee with him, it will only be a matter of time until I find where you have gone and take you all down!" She shook her head… and made her last attempt to reason with him.
"Mother and father loved you… I still do too. Please… do not put others and more importantly… me through that same road. Do not force loss on anyone, I beg you! If will not do it from me, do it for mom and dad!"
"My path is clear. I will do it, now. Leave. Before I change my mind…" That was it… Annie's loved brother, Jamie, her only family left, has been lost to chaos and anger…
"Brother… I have tried. Now… I hear four voices in the wind, crying for justice."
"You see Annie?!" He turned with a smile. "You can hear our parents! They cry for justice! Join me, and we can give them the proper rest they deserve. We can put their spirit to peace." Annie's eyes glowed red and the sky above them cleared of clouds and became yellow with sunlight, from Annie's combat ability, Drought.
"It is not mom and dad I hear crying for justice." Jamie froze in shock. Annie started whipping her tails.
"W-what?! You aren't serious!" He said backing away.
"I hear… a boy named Alex, and a girl named Hayley crying with their Pokémon… no wait… I hear many voices! I hear many Pokémon you killed on Iron island crying as well, I hear a Lopunny… a Lucario… and… a Gardevoir… CRYING FOR JUSTICE! YOU ARE SO BLIND BRO- NO, NO LONGER ARE YOU MY BROTHER!" Annie was a calm soul, but she was born with a dangerous trait that her clan was cursed with known as: Ninefury, an ancient power passed down in their clan. If enraged enough, this power has capability to wreck havoc to an entire area. It grants the direct control of the Pokémon's life force, to be refocused from life force to a force of destruction. After the power is gone, the life force reverts into the owner's body.
"A-Annie?!" He took his stance and readied for her outburst.
"YOU CLAIM TO SERVE JUSTICE, BUT HAVE WRONGFULLY ABUSED IT TO HARM OTHERS! I WILL STOP THAT, OR DIE TRYING!" Annie gathered white light around her body and reared up on her hind legs and crashed down on her front, letting loose a loud battle cry while sending a blast of psychic energy towards Jamie.
The trait also states that if one should get out of control, each Vulpix born in the clan could null it by hitting the Pokémon with the same flame used to curse humans and Pokémon. Ninetails, however, instead of turning into humans from the curse, lose the Ninefury power for a short time. The blast hit Jamie and caught him between two rocks, holding him in place. His sister menacingly approached him, and he cowered, knowing it was the end. Instead of finishing it, Annie spoke to him.
"I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE LEARNED YOUR LESSON. I AM NOT WEAK. I AM NOT FRAIL. DO YOU REMEMBER HOW TO SURPRESS THIS? CHANNEL A CURSE FLAME FROM ONE OF YOUR TAILS AND TAG ME. THEN I WILL SPEAK TO YOU." She wasn't yelling, but rather had an echoed, morphed voice. Jamie, full of fear and anger did as he was told and lightly tagged his sister. Her eyes returned to the normal red hue and the energy around her dissipated. She looked up with compassionate eyes.
"…you have the gift… of Ninefury?!" He trembled at his words.
"I do brother, but that is not my point." She rubbed her head against his, a sign of affection. Jamie was not buying into it. With someone that is more powerful than you, taking them head-on is suicide, but using deception and trickery, that is how it falls. He will wait until the time to strike.
"Annie… what do you mean?" He played along.
"Don't you see brother? Violence is what sunders both the Pokémon and human world. People get hurt, people might even die… but somehow to some extent, they all forgive. Do you understand? Forgive. They move along, they might be mad at each other, but they get along somewhat. The same goes for Pokémon. I am mad at your right now for attacking me… remember you struck first, but you are my brother and I have already forgiven you for that."
"Hmph… you are weak…"
"Don't try me, that disable isn't permanent. Forgiveness isn't a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength. Forgiving, brother is by far one of the hardest things to do. You acknowledge that you accept their apology."
"What if no apology was given? What then?"
"That means nothing, an apology is just an addition, and it is entirely up to you to forgive, regardless of the issue. Now to make things right… I am going against my judgment. You must agree not to do anything harmful." He deviated in his head… this was going to be good.
"What will you have us do?" Annie even had second thoughts… she knew it could end horribly, but she was combat superior to him, and could easily stop him if he tried anything with the Ninefury power.
"I will take you to their location and set things right. After this, all the past will be left behind and we might even have some new friends! Trust me, they are good people."
YES! If Annie takes me to them… they will be all mine. I just need to disable her before she can react… and nothing will stop me from getting my vengeance. She must think I am playing along.
"…I guess… the time for conflict is over Annie… you are right. Violence hurts… and I will try to get this concept of forgiveness, I promise you with my heart." Annie smiled and licked his cheek. She moved the rocks away, freeing him and walked to her den.
"That is what I wanted hear…" She got out of sight and Jamie smiled.
"…that is also what I wanted to hear…"
"*yawn* mmm… huh? Oh… good morning Serah…" Serah rolled over and smiled back at JJ, they were both in the same bed.
"Good morning… hehe… Jayce!"
"Oh okay… we get it… calm down…" Serah giggled and snuggled closer to JJ. She kissed his cheek and hummed suggestively.
"We never did it yet you know… usually it happens at night, but it's now morning…" JJ knew what she meant… but was hesitant to make a move.
"I… can't do that yet…"
"Come onnnnn!"
"Real talk Serah. No more than a few weeks ago you got freed from a life full of what you want to do… I understand you love me, and I do too… but… do you want to jump into it so fast?" She thought about it and cuddled with him some more.
"You care… you care a lot to bring it up for me to think about, really I mean it…" She looked at JJ's eyes again with a cute smile. "…but none of that came from my heart. All of it was forced… and now… I want to feel love's ultimate as you humans call it: 'pleasure?'"
"…I guess I can understand what you mean but… you see I have… well…" Serah laughed when she read his mind.
"I can show you the basics." JJ shivered and was surprisingly nervous.
"If… what happens if… I mean you are a Pokémon and I am a human… what happens if…?"
"JJ… I went through many, many… you know, everyday. It appears biologically impossible." JJ had doubts, but more than anything… fear. He steeled himself, and nodded.
"…okay, okay... so how do we start?" She quietly just quieted him questions by putting a finger over his mouth, then paused… she couldn't relate how to start… most of it was immediate, no affection, no love whatsoever. "You okay?"
"…umm… I don't… know much. I only know force, oh and I promise no I won't do that… You have no knowledge?"
"I-I mean, when I was a teen I guess… I might have… learned a few things that I'm not proud of…"
"…okay then, go on…" Nervously, he recalled all those pornographic images… something he has never done to this day. All he needed to do is wait for instinct to guide his steps. "Smart…"
JJ let go for his restraining morals for a second and made his way down to her lower regions. Instinct took control and he focused on her reactions. At first, she whimpered then let soft, pleasured moans escape her lips. Serah let her instinct, take over, unfortunately it was normal for her to grab his member and go to work immediately. She too wasn't proud of it, but it just helped then relate to each other more. JJ's body tensed at a long lost feeling that had never been felt for years.
"I'm- oh! S-sorry, I'm not a veteran at these- mmm! Practices…" Serah said nothing. She positioned herself at the foot of the bed and gently slipped his member into her mouth. JJ had never felt this in his life. He enjoyed the sensation of her tongue wrapping around each second, but was confused on how to feel mentally. Then Serah got on top of him with a smile.
"You don't need to think about it… Because I can feel your emotions… and all I see is love…"
"You are right, I love you Serah. You don't need to read my mind for that."
"I love you too JJ… I just want to take it slow… to feel love for the first time."
"…I agree, and this IS my first time… go ahead." JJ was feeling a little bit relaxed now. He embraced the feeling of an erection, which oddly enough didn't come often. Serah slowly lowered herself just over the head and slid it in, causing them both to moan quietly.
"…ready?"
"... okay, go for it."
"No holding back, I love you."
"I do too."
(meanwhile)
"…The sky… it's back to normal?" I squinted to make sure I wasn't having vision failure. Emily was beside me and just a few seconds ago, the entire sky turned a fire red color. I swear I just saw a red sky suddenly change back to a grey hue.
"Mommy, this necklace is heavy."
"I know sweetie, just please wear it for now. For mommy okay?"
"Okay." She jumped into my ear and fell asleep. Then I caught a scent… a familiar one too, like from the prison. I turned around and someone grabbed me and pulled me to the ground. Then a too familiar voice laughed.
"Heheh… long time no see you little whore… Where is your friend?" I watched three jeeps drive full speed around towards the house. I prayed JJ would be awake as they did what they always did to me… it is not in my control anymore…
The two were still busy, enjoying each other's company. Then the sound of gunfire and the gate outside was brought to the ground. JJ heard it.
"WAIT! Quiet." Serah was shocked and reluctantly stopped her movements. Her eyes widened when she knew what was happening. JJ heard the engines and yelling of many people. "Serah get in here." He got up, got dressed in a flash, body armor and all, and opened an underground door. He pushed Serah into it. There was a set of open, heavy doors and stairs, a room with a bed beyond it. "No matter what you hear, you DO NOT open the door. This could take hours so there is food in the fridge. DON'T TELEPORT OUTSIDE." He loaded his M16 and charged it. "Love you."
JJ took cover behind a table in the main room. The yelling of the soldiers was audible.
"Stack on the door." JJ grabbed the phone and dialed the police. "BREACHING!" The door exploded and four soldiers charged through the smoke. JJ remained quiet and waited for them to pass. "Clear! Check the bedroom! Dunn watch our backs."
"Rog." They all poured into the room and one had his back turned to JJ's table. He got up and silently moved behind this man named Dunn. In a quick motion, he put his hand over the man's mouth and dragged him away before slicing his throat with a knife. He fell to the ground, for sure dead. "Dunn? Dunn?!" JJ turned the corner and sprayed the three men standing, killing two and injuring one. He walked up to the one and shot him again. The radio was buzzing with action.
"Alpha team do you copy, over?!" JJ ran back to the phone and the police were in panic from hearing the gunfire through the speaker.
"Hello? Police, someone?!"
"Hello?! What is happening sir? Is that gunfire?!"
"Yes! There are many people who just stormed the island, I killed four, I still hear vehicles outside, send help!"
"I'll contact the national guard, please stay on the line. What is your location?"
"Island observatory Helios, grid number 3580. Send air, troops, ANYTHING! There are two Pokémon on this island with me!" JJ was sure the legendary Pokémon had scattered already. "Please hurry!" Two men fired on his cover, sending dust and splinters of wood flying around the room.
"Alpha base this is blue station, do you read me over?"
"Affirmative blue I read you go ahead."
"What is the status of your flight drills?"
"What is the event? You sound serious."
"We have received reports of ground forces assaulting an un-armed compound off the coast of Hoenn's south west side."
"Say again blue, I think I hear you wrong, what ground forces?"
"Unknown. The presence is confirmed from the police they got a call from a man named Jayce Jalern, a environmental observer is currently pinned down in the main structure, can you help at all?!"
"Environmental observatories have a remote plane circling above their area, send me the camera feed."
"Sending…"
…
…
…
"Holy shit. Yeah those are armed people alright. Patch me through to him directly."
"Yes sir."
"Hello?! Who is this!" *through the gunfire*
"This commander Westbrook at Alpha base, hold on just a while longer we are sending airborne divisions and support to your area now."
"Thank you! FUCK! I'll hold on as long as possible!" *explosion cuts the line*
"Hello? Hello! All units in bravo sector, heat up weapons and head to this coordinates -8-3-2-1-87-35 THIS IS NOT A DRILL, load for bear and join channel SF1 for command directive. Double time it now, out!"
"Roger that Alpha base, 2-2 is outbound."
"Rog. Stalker 1 is out."
"Warhorse 3-3 is out."
"This is Arcadia 1, we are loading IFV's for extreme support, let us know if you need it over."
"fuck… FUCK!" JJ was yelling through the gunfire to himself. He was so blinded by the gunpowder and dust to even fight. He had been fighting for close to an hour, and it was over. Then when the gunfire ceased he decided to stop the chaos and surrender, so they would forget about Serah, hopefully. "I'm coming out!"
"Let me see your hands!"
"I'll drop my weapon! I'm coming up!" He slowly stood up, holding the rifle in one hand. He took his knife and cut the strap, making fall with a thud. "I'm done, I'm not a soldier." The leader of the group motioned for two of the soldiers beside him to apprehend JJ. He didn't resist and the put handcuffs on him and led him out. The sky was grey, and there were more than just jeeps, a few helicopters hovered around the island. The two soldiers brought him to the forested clearing. Angel was chained up, being raped by one of the perverts that shot at JJ. There was a made, a Gallade, the male counterpart of Gardevoir, was standing beside him. Emily was nowhere to be found.
"Aha… here is the man, undo his bindings." The man said with a laugh. "Now then mister JJ is what you go by. How are you lately?"
"The fuck is that supposed to mean?!"
"Whoa… easy partner. I'm just here to offer you a bargain."
"AH! JJ DON'T DO IT PLEASE!" Angel screamed. That was the first words JJ had heard for a few days.
"Save your breath asshole. I know what you want, and I got what you want."
"Yes you do, yes you do."
"So why do you call in the military, why are they helping you?"
"These are mercenaries partner, they just care about cash… or sexual payment. Take the Lopunny over there for instance. Eeeezzzzz pay."
"So, how badly do you want Serah?"
"Serah? Oh is that Gardevoir's new name? Huh… bitch didn't appeal to you huh?"
"Shut the fuck up…" *BOOF* BOOF* "What the hell was that?"
"IFF DETECTS MULTIPLE…" *static*
"Mayday, mayday…"
"THREE AH-14 VIPERS, ENGA-…"
I can't sit here any longer… they got him… they are going to kill him… I have a power that allows me to see through the eyes of someone I trust… and he is one. I focused and thought about him and I entered his vision.
"Get the AA fired up now, get troops away from them now."
"Serah? What the hell are you doing?!"
"…what is happening?" I saw men leave him and one other man alone. He pulled a pistol from his belt and pointed at JJ. "no…"
"Don't do it."
"No…!"
"For the love of god Serah, don't teleport!"
"I CAN'T WATCH YOU DIE!"
"I DON'T FUCKING CARE, DON'T DO IT!" I love you… to death.
JJ yelled at Serah with all his rage… but in spite of his commands, Serah teleported. The man shot and hit Serah in the chest, she fell to her knees. Then she looked up with bright blue eyes and pink electricity emitting from her entire body. She stood up and floated above the two of them.
"THIS IS THE END!" She had a morphed, powerful voice. In a flash, a dark sphere appeared from her wound and with all her might, split it into a living hell. A massive black vortex picked up the man and all the mercenaries fighting the military forces, trees got up rooted, water was sucked in. The entire time, JJ was screaming in horror… Serah was about to kill herself. It was… a Gardevoir's black hole.
"HERE ME HELLSPAWNS! YOU HAVE ABUSED ME, MY FRIENDS, AND MY LOVE! YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR FAMILIES AGAIN, YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, NEVER AGAIN WILL YOUR PRESENCE TAINT THIS UNIVERSE! I CLEANSE THE WORLD OF YOUR STAIN!" Then in an instant, the black hole vanished and Serah floated back down, adrenaline wearing off. The sound of approaching marines and friendly military personal was nice… but JJ had a look of fear in his face. Serah turned around without holding her chest, blood visibly there… but not draining. JJ inched closer to Serah.
"…S-serah?"
"Hmm… you look like you seen a ghost. Watch this!" She made another sphere and threw it like a ball. JJ was concerned… she was acting odd… and didn't seem to be aware she even got shot.
"Serah. You are hurt." He used his hands to softly speak.
"Pfft this little cut, it is nothing."
"Serah… are you feeling okay?"
"Now that you mention it… where are we? This isn't the island."
"Serah…?"
"Now… wait, what? No, stop! Huh?! The room! It it… it is fading! No, MY HEAD! AHHHH!" She collapsed to the floor was paralyzed in shock.
"No way… serah…? SERAH! MEDIC SOMEONE GET ME A FUCKING MEDIC!" He ran over to her and turned her over. Her breathing was rapid and forced. "Serah, it's me JJ. Remember? Just an hour ago we loved each other, and we do now right?"
*cough* *cough* "I can't… breathe…"
"Stay with me darling, MEDIC OVER HERE!" A girl ran to JJ's side. She looked her over and put her hand to her forehead. She sighed and shook her head.
"She… has no psychic energy left. That black hole drained her life force… I'm sorry." She got up and left. JJ reached into his pocket and pulled out a purple pokeball.
"There is always a way…" He was saying through tears. "Always… Pokeball… save her life!" Serah's body was enveloped in a purple light and she was in the pokeball.
"Putting her in a pokeball will lengthen the time she lives, but without another psychic or Pokémon to give life force, she will die. I'm sorry, but she is gone… sir…" The medic left. Angel limped over to JJ and tapped his shoulder. He turned his flushed, red face to her and she said.
"If it is life force you need… I can give mine… but we need to find out how to give it to her."
"Angel… are you s-saying…" JJ couldn't believe what he just heard.
"I will give me life to save hers."
No words... no sound...
-J
