(A/N: And to start this all off, I have yet another song. This is where the barrage of trailer music and such begins. By the way, they need more "trailer music" in actual movies. Immediate Music, Two Steps From Hell, X-Ray Dog, Epic Score, you name it. They tend to be the best parts of a soundtrack. Anyway, the name of this song is "Imperativa" by Immediate Music, who by the way come up with amazing tracks.)


Chapter 12: Walking Down A Dark Path

*It was raining in the outskirts of Sunyshore City. A large building was the main part of the suburbs, but little did people know this was one of the few bases that Zena still held. Or at least, for the time being.

One of the soldiers was guarding the doors to the base, keeping a keen eye out for any intruders or those who looked suspicious. Then, he saw a figure walking towards him, wearing a trench coat. The soldier immediately raised his weapon. "Sir, this is a restricted area," the soldier then said. "I highly suggest you go back to where you previously were." However, the figure kept coming. "Sir, if you come any closer, I will forced to take unnecessary actions."

But still, the person kept coming and before the soldier could do anymore, the figure grabbed him quickly and then, taking out a knife, slit his throat while having a hand over his mouth. Once the soldier appeared dead, the figure took off the coat he was wearing, revealing himself to be none other than Chris, and then drug the body to the backside so that he could not be seen.

Chris, now wearing a Zena uniform, walked into the base. It was, surprisingly, rather calm has other soldiers passed him by. Now it was time for him to start his mission. With whatever hidden spot he found, he secretly and quickly planted C4 and armed the charges. He went around the entire base, making sure not to cause attention to himself and planted C4 where he could.

Once that was completed, he then moved on to his next objective: kill General Betz. James via radio told him where his office was in the base. Chris had also made sure to attach a silencer onto his gun. No need to cause attention. The other thing that had to be done was give a Betz a reason of why he was there in the first place, so that he would not become suspicious. Also, it would be a good time to get some info as well.

Soon, he found the office where Betz was supposed to be. He then gave two short knocks. "Come in," a ruff voice then said. He entered the room and standing at a desk was Betz. He appeared to be a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a mustache. "Yes son, can I help you?" Betz said after each of them gave a salute.

"Yes sir," Chris said, closing the door. He then took a seat. "I've been hearing this rumor about a counter-strike from some of the other soldiers. Is this true?"

"We haven't heard word from our superiors yet," Betz said. "However, once we get the word, then we'll find out what our next plan will be. Is that all?"

Chris then got up. "Not quite sir." In a flash, Chris whipped out his pistol and before Betz could react, three shots rang out and Betz fell to the ground dead, those three shots right into his skull. Chris then moved quickly by placing the body flat behind the desk so that no one would see him.


(A/N: Okay, now this is where the action comes in, and I have the perfect music for it. Brian Tyler has become a new favorite of mine, since he composes awesome tracks. This one here is called "Assassin" from the movie Bangkok Dangerous.)

*He was about to leave quietly until the alarm then went off. "Shit," Chris then said. Somehow, someone must've heard the gunshots. He was trapped now. He had only a few clips to take on all the soldiers that would be coming. Then, he saw the vent in the one corner. Sighing, he then took the detonator and clenched his teeth right on it before changing back into a Pokemon. Blasting the vent right off the wall, he began crawling through it, not sure where he was going to end up as soldiers on the other side busted into the room, confused as to where he went.

Once getting to another hallway, Chris kicked out the other vent and started running, looking for a way out. However, he was quickly tailed by some of the other Pokemon in the base and before he knew it, he was then surrounded.

"That's enough!" one of them said, a Manectric. "There's nowhere else for you to go, so surrender!"

Chris, realizing what he had to do now, took the detonator out of his mouth and into his paw. "Sorry guys, but I'm in a hurry," Chris said, pushing the button. The sudden explosion knocked the Pokemon off their feet and slammed them against the wall. Fortunately, Chris came up with a back-up plan and decided to delay each blast, meaning he had to move quick.

Using the time he had to his advantage, he moved quickly towards the exit, smashing open the door and jumping as far as he could as the rest of the base blew up and exploded in flame, causing him to be pushed farther. He hit the ground and stayed there for a couple moments. Then, he got up slowly and looked behind to see what was left of the building.

Changing back, he then gave a call to James. "James, this is Chris, mission accomplished," Chris said.

"Very well done," James said on the other line. "I think that will be all for today, seeing as we don't want to rush this. Meet me tomorrow morning and we will discuss what's to be done then. James out."

Chris was about to get up until he felt something hard and metal against his temple. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" a voice said. Chris glanced upwards to see one of the last people he wanted to see right now. Brett stood right next to him with a smirk on his face. "Seems I've caught you off guard Johnson, that's not like you."

"What do you want Brett?" Chris said, trying to keep his voice calm.

"I've told you before, I'm completing my mission," Brett said. "And it looks it's just about done."

Chris almost laughed. "You're going to kill me? You must be joking." He then quickly grabbed the gun from his head and pulled Brett so that Chris was right behind him, and now he was the one pointing the gun at him. "The fact I have quicker reflexes than you. Now that must be a joke."

"Still angry huh?" Brett said, who didn't appear too phased with the position he was in. "Because I killed your precious honey bun?" He then let out a grunt of pain as Chris kicked him in the back of his knee, almost causing him to fall.


(A/N: Okay, this could very well be the last song of the chapter, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, this next song, well, I'm not quite sure how to explain it. It has a mixture of emotions to it. The name of the song is "Zombie Hunter" by X-Ray Dog. I don't know who comes up with these song titles, but oh well, the music is still worth listening to.)

*"If I was in a worser mood, I wouldn't have hesitated to pull the trigger already and slam a slug right into your fucking skull!" Chris said angrily. "However, I'm not quite in my killing mood."

"Well, that's too bad because I am!" Brett said. He then elbowed Chris in the ribs hard, knocked the gun out of his hand, and with large force threw him to the ground. He was trying to get his gun but Chris quickly got to his feet, ran, and tackled Brett to the ground. Rolling him over, Chris started punching him right in the face, mostly out of anger, but also because he deserved it.

However, Brett regained his composure and used his legs to kick Chris off of him. Brett then grabbed a hold of him and started returning the favor. While doing so, Chris went for the gun in his holster. Then, Brett grabbed a hold of a large rock next to him and was about to smash Chris' face in until Chris finally got his gun out and pulled the trigger.

Brett then cried out in pain as he quickly got off, holding his right knee. Apparently, Chris shot him in the kneecap. "You bastard!" Brett said between clenched teeth.

Chris then got up and looked at Brett with disgust. "You're not the one who should be talking!" Chris said. "Going out and killing innocent people? Have you no shame?" He then looked around and saw an abandoned Humvee. He then an entire tank full of gas. Walking over to it, he then took the tank out of the vehicle.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Brett said, who still couldn't get up. "What the-!? What the hell are you-!?" He was then cut off as gasoline was poured all over him, including his face.

Once he was finished, Chris then threw the tank right next to Brett, where it kept pouring. "It's people like you who make me sick," Chris then said. "You get taken in by Zena, and they do terrible things to you, and yet, despite what they do, you still decide to join them. I have nothing more to say to you." He then started walking away but soon then turned around. "By the way," he then added, pulling out his gun. "This is for Emily." He then pulled the trigger and the bullet hit the tank, causing it to explode and the resulting explosion caught Brett's entire body on fire.

Ignoring Brett's yells of pain and agony, Chris walked away from it all. He then let out a sigh of relief. "It's finally over," he thought to himself. "You can finally rest in peace, Emily." After a couple more minutes, he then took out the keys he had been holding onto and pushed the button on the pad. In a matter of minutes, Chris' car arrived. He got into the car and quickly drove back to Sunyshore.


Later on in the evening, Chris was lying on his bed, watching the evening news. "It appears that the war in Sunyshore is starting to come to a close," the news anchor said. "There were reports of a large explosion just outside of the city, and SIP officials have confirmed that the building was actually a hidden base of Zena forces. Bill Schneider will have more to report coming up."

"I can only hope it's coming to a close," Chris thought. Ever since the conflict began, hospitals and Pokemon Centers in all regions had been struggling for medical supplies. Luckily Bi-Cell, one of the smaller pharmaceutical companies, have been able to supply with what they had and because of Zena's actions, they could easily become the next largest company. All of a sudden, there came a knocking at the door. "Come in," Chris then said. The door then opened and Chris saw that Sadie was at the door, carrying a small bag. "Sadie?" he said, quickly getting to his feet. "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong," Sadie said. Chris noticed she seemed uncomfortable. "Um listen," she then said, blushing slightly. "Is it alright if I stay here for the night?"

The question caught Chris off guard and he started to blush as well. "Sure you can," he said. "But, may I ask why you're coming over here?"

"I don't know," Sadie said quickly. "Just want to hang out, you know?"

"Um, right," Chris said. He was starting to catch on what's going on. "Wait, where's Pikette?"

"She's watching TV in our room, and she knows I'm here," Sadie said. "I need to get changed. Is it alright if I use your bathroom?"

"Go ahead," Chris said.

Sadie then went to the bathroom and the second she closed the door, she leaned against it, her breathing a bit more ragged. What was happening to her? She hadn't felt like this since... she had met him that day. "No, I have to ignore it," Sadie thought. She then got changed. However, she was only in her bra and panties when she stopped, recalling what had happened the afternoon after she had met Chris. It was the strangest feeling she had ever felt.

All of a sudden, she felt the panties she was wearing become wet and some warm liquid was dripping down her leg. "Shit!" Sadie said, blushing in embarrassment as she put her hands over her face. "Not again!"

"Sadie!?" Chris said behind the door. "Are you alright!?"

Sadie's eyes widened in horror and surprise. "No, I'm fine!" she responded. "I just... dropped my earring, that's all." She then let out a sigh of relief. It was happening all over again, just like it that day. Of course, she never told a soul about it, and how could she? She then looked in the mirror again, and once seeing herself, her thoughts of Chris then returned. "Well," she whispered. "Guess it wouldn't hurt to do it just a little bit." She then slid her hand down her panties to her sensitive spot and began pleasuring herself. She moaned quietly as the sensations she felt started to arise in her body. After a couple of minutes, she finally stopped. She was at her breaking point now and knew what she had to do, and if Chris didn't want to do it, too bad for him.

Opening the door, she then looked to Chris. "Hey big boy," she said in a seductive manner.

Chris looked over and the second he saw her, his eyes widened greatly. "S-Sadie?" he said, a bit surprised.

"Mm-hmm," Sadie responded. She then walked over to him. "Chris, our relationship may have been a roller coaster ride, but I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I can't wait any longer."

Chris obviously knew what she was talking about. He just wished he hadn't already done it with three other girls. "You know, you could've just asked," he said. He then smiled. "Get over here."

Sadie smiled and then jumped onto the bed, right on top of him. "I don't know what to expect what will come in the next couple of days," she said. "But, right now, all I wish is to be with you, just like before." Their lips then met as they started kissing each other. Sadie then ended up taking off Chris' shirt and then went for the jeans he was wearing while still kissing him.

Finally, after stripping each other down and exposing themselves, they broke their kiss. "You're really willing to go through this?" Chris asked.

"Absolutely," Sadie responded. "And this time, no interruptions." However, she then downwards.

"Wait a minute," Chris said. He then stopped as Sadie began giving him oral, and his eyes almost rolled back into his head. "Sadie, what are you doing?"

Sadie then smiled. "Hey, there's gotta be a first to everything, right?" She then continued what she was doing. She had a point, and this was definitely a first for both of them. After a couple minutes, she finally stopped. "Just had to get you warmed up," she said with a wink. "And boy do you seem ready."

"And why wouldn't I be?" Chris responded, causing Sadie to giggle. "Now, are we going to get to this or not?"

"Sorry," Sadie said. "Just... be a little gentle okay?"

"Of course," Chris said. They then kissed once more as Sadie felt Chris go inside her, causing Sadie to moan slightly. Chris then went another step further as he grasped one hand around her breast and another around her rear, squeezing both, causing her to moan even more. Chris then began kissing her neck. If this was the opportunity he had, he might as well make the best of it.

After a couple more minutes, Chris then gasped slightly. "Sadie," he then said. "I'm getting close."

"It's okay," Sadie responded. "So am I."

"You're sure?" Chris asked.

Sadie nodded. "I had been thinking about this for awhile. When this is all over, I want us to be together, because we both love each other and maybe at some point, start having a family."

"I..." Chris said. He hadn't even thought about that, but then again, if Sadie wanted it, how could he argue against it? "That sounds like a wonderful idea."

"Thank you Chris," Sadie said. She then gasped and clenched Chris tightly as she gritted her teeth. Finally, she relaxed and looked to Chris, blushing slightly. "Sorry, I just came."

"Sadie!" Chris then said suddenly. He felt very close and all of a sudden went over and he came inside her. Sadie felt it as well and sighed a bit in pleasure. Finally, she laid down on Chris' chest.

"That... was the most amazing feeling I had ever felt," she then said.

"And to think we could've done this a long time ago," Chris said.

"Yeah," Sadie said, smiling. "Thanks a lot Dad."

"So, you're being serious about this?" Chris asked.

"Yes," Sadie said. "You're the only one I can see myself with in the future, and that makes me happy enough."

Chris then gave her a hug. "I feel the same way," he said.

"Hmm, there's just one thing I feel bad about," Sadie said.

"What's that?" Chris asked.

"Well, we did kind of make a mess in these sheets, and I feel bad about the people cleaning them," Sadie said. That got the both of them to laugh, maybe a little harder than they should have, but it was still funny. Sadie then yawned. "Wow, do I feel tired all of a sudden."

"You still want to spend the night here?" Chris said. "Or did you just come here to use me as a pleasure toy."

"Hey," Sadie said sweetly, giving him a peck on the cheek. "You know you're more than a pleasure toy. Maybe a sex toy."

Chris just smiled. "Thanks, love you too." He then pulled her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Well, it is almost ten, so guess it wouldn't hurt to get to bed a bit early."

"Thank goodness," Sadie said, laying over onto her side. "Just do me a favor," she then said. "If you end up doing anything, please at least wake me up for it."

"Will do," Chris said as he laid next to her. "Just make sure to do the same."

"I'll try," Sadie said.

It wouldn't be long before she fell asleep. However, Chris was still awake, with a lot on his mind. He guessed it was destined for him and Sadie to be together in the first place. But that wasn't what he was worried about. He wasn't sure what else James had in store for him as the war continued on. And now, Sadie possibly wanted to start a family, something that he had never thought about. He then smiled. He just hoped Pikette was good with children.

Finally, he turned back around and laid his head on the pillow next to Sadie, catching the scent of body wash she had used this morning. He lightly grazed her arm until he himself finally fell asleep.


(A/N: Good grief, now it's four girls he's had sex with. Wish I was that lucky. Ahem, anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't worry, no one was harmed in the making of this story, except for a few second-degree burns.)
