CHAPTER 12 IS UP AT LAST! THINGS ARE GETTING DARK, BUT THAT IS NEEDED. THIS CHAPTER WILL START AT THE VANTAGE POINT THAT THE SHADOW TRIAD TOOK MARK TO, AND EVERYONE IS THERE. WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, CHAPTER 12! ALSO, THE ENGLISH NAMES OF THE ADMINS WILL BE ALIASES WHILE THE JAPANESE NAMES WILL BE THEIR REAL NAMES. NOW, HERE'S CHAPTER 12!


"Ready?" Aaron asked, seeing the Shadow Triad to his left, who were always ready. To his right sat Jake, Adam, Mark, and Joshua. Jake, Adam, and Joshua had standard issue gear, while Mark was wearing a juggernaut suit, but only carried a Combat Knife and a Throwing Knife. The juggernaut suit was also light on armor, but had plenty to protect him from bullets (Look up Juggernaut Maniac from Call of Duty: Ghosts if you want a better picture of what Mark is wearing). Mark was looking through a HUD display, which highlighted people, showed a small map of the surrounding area, and what he was looking at. Right now, his eyes were fix upon the Weather Machine, and in the HUD it displayed it as "?" and no other information was available about it, not that Mark needed it. On the small mini-map, it showed red dots approaching the large gray dot that represented the Weather Machine. On the mini-map, there were six light blue dots next to his position, and he was ready to engage.

"Hold on Mark. We wait for Team Aqua. We follow the plan. And we take as many of them as we can in for questioning. Understand?" Aaron spoke, noticing Mark heading out.

"Fine," Mark complained, waiting for Team Aqua, since he was going to lead an assault on Team Magma, according to the other Admins. He had requested they come as well, since he was going to save only those three, since he was planning on killing the grunts. He told Joshua to get Maxie and the other three Admins to join the fight as well. Joshua said that he would try to get the Admins, but he would be getting Maxie.

"Look, in the distance," a Shadow Triad member spoke emotionlessly, pointing towards the end of the cave. "Team Aqua. They are being led by three people."

"Take the three admins alive," Mark quietly spoke,starting his decent.

"Same applies to Maxie and his admins," Joshua informed, readying himself with his akimbo pistols.

"On you Aaron," Jake whispered, readying his akimbo shotguns. Adam took his shotgun and pistol out, a confident smirk on his face.

Aaron looked at Solaria. "You ready for one last mission?"

"I'm glad to have worked with you," Solaria smiled, feeling a large presence behind him. He turned around, along with Aaron. Behind them, were Christina and her team, along with the rest of his team.

"I told you to wait at the base," Aaron told his team angrily. He sighed, and smiled. "Great to see you all again."

"Don't think you can do this alone. Besides, we will be there to help you anytime. So, let's kick some ass," Christina smirked.

"We take Maxie and his admins alive, along with the Team Aqua admins," Aaron informed, taking out a throwing star, throwing it, hitting a grunt in the head. The Shadow Triad disappeared, and three more grunts fell. Adam, Jake, Joshua, andMark slid down the slope, Aaron, Christina, and their teams heading around to block in Team Aqua.

"Ambush!" a Team Magma grunt yelled, a knife being thrown into his neck, and ripped out, Mark ducking under a flamethrower, throwing the throwing knife into the Pokemon, it being a Ninetales. He looked, and saw a female admin. On the HUD, it displayed two names.

"Hello Courtney, or should I call you Kagari?" Mark growled, glaring at Kagari, turning the HUD off to look at Kagari, his next victim. She bore high heel red and pink boots that went up to her knees. She had on a short skirt that barely went past her rear end. Her hood hid most of her pink hair, but some was visible. Mark smirked, seeing his next victim reaching for two of the three Pokeballs. Mark dashed forward, the suit boosting his physical capabilities. He snatched the three pokeballs, and turned around to see kagari start to pull out something. Mark didn't want to find out, so he swiftly punched Kagari in the stomach, following it up with a roundhouse kick to her face, knocking her , she was kicked towards the Weather Machine, Mark seeing her smile deviously as she started to activate it. Mark run up behind her, and knocked her head into the machine knocking her out. Mark bound her in handcuffs, and powered the machine down. "One down. Mark sighed, turning his HUD back one, heading into a crowd of grunts.

Adam was busy with Homura, better known as Tabitha. He was a rather buff man with a black under suit that had short sleeves and the legs stopped a little after his knees. He wore a Magma hoodie cape thing. His black hair passed his shoulders slightly, and he was currently going hand-to-hand with Adam, who was shorter than the behemoth admin.

"You are pretty strong for a short man," Homura complimented.

"This short man will easily kick your ass. Besides, I have some things that no one would think of," Adam informed, sending a punch to Homura's face, following with a kick to his gut, sending him to the ground, the air literally kicked out of him. Adam pullout out a set of handcuffs and huffed his left hand to his right foot, behind Homura's back.

"No more tyranny from you," Adam spoke, going to help with Mark.

While those two were busy with team Magma, Joshua was looking for Maxie. Jake had already apprehended Hokage, A.K.A. Blaise, and started blasting grunts to hell. But on the other side of the cave, Aaron and Christina were slicing and dicing their way to the three Team Aqua admins. Yin was slicing up faces, Wolf Senai was biting the heads off, snapping some necks as well. Solaria was burring the grunts, Yang hovering, using enthral energy to kill grunts. Gardevior was shocking enemies, and sending them outside even. Christina kept her Pokemon inside their balls to keep them safe. It wasn't long before the Aqua grunts were dispatched, leaving the three admins surrounded. Shizuku A.K.A. Amber, Ushio A.K.A. Matt, and Izumi A.K.A. Shelley were ready to send out their Pokemon, but Izumi knew better since she had a previous encounter with him.

"Stand down. Let's give in. They won't hesitate to kill our Pokemon and us if we fight back," Izumi remembered. She growled, and threw her hands up. Aaron jumped on top of her and pinned her arms behind her back. He took out a pair of cuffs, and cuffed her. He glared at the other two. They were un-phased, until Aaron pulled his sword up to their necks. They got the message, and turned around, putting their hands behind heir backs. Christina cuffed the males, and made them fall to their knees by kicking the back of their legs. Aaron looked to the Shadow Triad, who nodded, taking one admin per member, and vanished to the base, putting them in cells. Aaron looked around, scanning for other admins and Maxie. He saw Mark with an admin, along with Adam and Jake, who were tying them to the machine. He spotted an older man, and dashed over to them, since they were dressed different than grunts. He grabbed a shotgun off the floor, and shot anyone who got in his way. He reloaded, and pressed the barrel into Maxie's back.

"I see you have me in quite a predicament," Maxie spoke. "I have to hand it to Joshua. I never thought he would betray me."

"Shut up," Aaron growled, hitting Maxie with the barrel of the shotgun, shoving him to the floor.

"Quite vicious. You are the ninja who caused us so much trouble for five years," Maxie egged on. Aaron hit him with a jab, and smashed him into the machine.

"You will speak only when spoken to! Understand?" Aaron yelled, seeing some grunts of both sides in cuffs. Maxie stayed silent. "UNDERSTAND!?" Aaron yelled again, punching him in the face hard enough to knock him out.

/-Five Hours Later, Interrogation Room-/

"He's coming to," Adam informed Aaron, who nodded. Aaron was in a room with Adam, Maxie, and Archie.

"Listen up scum!" Aaron yelled, waking Maxie and startling Archie. "I frankly don't care if you guys are dying at dawn, but I want some fucking answers!"

"Calm down. I know that as long as I stay silent, you can't touch me," Archie smirked.

"Do you forget that we have Mark? Or are you that stupid? He has all information about each admin and some information about you. He even had recordings. You'll die at dawn if you don't talk," Aaron reminded.

"That goes for you as well Maxie. Joshua was in Magma for us," Adam added.

"So, what is it you want to know?" Maxie asked.

"Your plan that involved having some Magma grunts dressed as Aqua grunts," Aaron spat, clearly wanting to kill the two.

"Excuse him. He want you two dead, and it can show. So, what was your plans?" Adam asked.

"I'm pretty sure Joshua told you. I had thoughts about ending Team Aqua, but Joshua pushed me to use something called a Weather Machine to do so," Maxie informed.

"Wait, Joshua urged you to do that? Mark tipped me off about you wanting to do that, so we fought back," Archie explained.

"It seems we were set up," Maxie spoke.

"Still, both of you were wanted for a long time. You'll be serving either life or at dawn, you'll be dead," Aaron informed, using his hand to do the slicing motion across his neck. "I could care less either way. I was paid and I have immunity. You guys are going down a path that is not that good."

"Um, can I speak with you Aaron?" Adam whispered, Aaron sighing.

"It better be important," Aaron complained, walking out with Adam right behind him.

"This might be the last thing you want to hear, but Christina is an outlaw in Sinnoh. We'll have to deport her to face charges there," Adam informed, Aaron surprised that it happened so soon.

"Let me speak with her alone then," Aaron requested.

"She's in the lobby of the Pokemon Center. I suggest you hurry," Adam informed. Aaron was already running to the Center before Adam even finished the second sentence.

'No, not yet. She can't go back. I won't allow that!' Aaron thought to himself, bursting though the entrance to the Pokemon Center. He rushed over to Christina, who had handcuffs on her. She was looking at the floor.

"Christina," Aaron started, getting her attention. "Why?"

"I was inspired by you. I wanted to get to know you now like I did back when we were kids," Christina answered.

Aaron broke the chain on the handcuffs, and hugged her. She was surprise, but returned the loving embrace. They stood like that for awhile, not moving, neither one wanting to let go. Adam walked in with Jake to check on Aaron and Christina. They left the questioning to Mark and Joshua, who were tearing each admin apart, making them spill everything they knew.

"Come home with me," Aaron whispered in Christina's ear. Both of them were crying softly.

"But you would put yourself in danger by hiding me," Christina pointed out.

"I don't care. I want to be with you. I don't want to say goodbye," Aaron started crying harder.

"Then let's just say later, okay?" Christina smiled, looking at Aaron, crying just as much as he was.

"I'll hold you to that," Aaron laughed, trying to lighten the mood.

"Aaron, it's time," Jake informed, Aaron smiling at Christina, who smiled back. She quickly pecked his lips, smiling.

"Think of it as a promise. I'll be back soon," Christina smiled, going to Adam and Jake, who loaded her on a boat to Sinnoh.

"Christina," Aaron softly said.

"Aaron," Solaria spoke, Gardevior stopping him from saying anything else.

"He needs to be with her. We shoulder wait for him at home," Gardevior whispered, Solaria sighing in agreement. Neither of them wanted to see him alone like this, but they had no other option other than to let Aaron go.

Aaron saw the ship, and ran after it, Christina crying as well. Aaron was jumping over anything and everything in his way, just to reach Christina. He tackled her into a hug, crying.

"I can't. I just know that this is goodbye," Aaron cried, Christina smiling. "I never kept that promise."

"But you will. I know it. Just wait a few weeks. I'll be back," Christina whispered, crying with Aaron, pulling him closer. Aaron was torn from Christina by Jake, while Adam loaded her. Jake held him down, Aaron in tears.

"CHRISTINA! CHRISTINA!" Aaron kept crying, until the boat was out of sight. "Christina…I…"

"Look, I know some people, and I can help if you want, okay?" Jake offered, Aaron silently letting all his tears out.

"I'm sorry Christina," Aaron sobbed. Gardevior walked over to Aaron, and teleported him home with everyone else.


I HATE TO END A CHAPTER ON A SAD NOTE, BUT I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE. STILL ONE MORE CHAPTER LEFT. I HOPE YOU CAN HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE LONGER. UNTIL NEXT TIME, SEE YA LATER!
