Summers' P.O.V
I stood in the Union with Ben as we headed towards the part of the ocean where the next small Emble should be.
"Wonder how long this is gonna take," he yawned as he stood next to me. I shook my head at him. "Think about it though, the longer we take chasing after Latias the more time the Pinchers have to awaken Zapdos. Meaning the more work for us if that fortress thingy rises," Ben was right though. The longer it took us to get to Mt Layuda the more time the Pinchers would have to awaken Zapdos.
"We're here," Ania stated as the Union stopped. I nodded my head as three Pinchers appeared in front of the ship with Anthea.
"You're not getting away with this one. You've stabbed Ace and now you'll pay," she hissed as she glared at me. Ben grabbed my Aqua Lung before jumping into the water.
"BEN!" I yelled as I ran to the edge but he had already gone far down.
"Get the boy," Anthea ordered as she landed on the ship. She smirked as she pulled out a knife.
"Ania, tell Murph not to come out from the captain's quarters thing," I ordered. Ania nodded her head as she turned around.
"Ah-ah Abila, you're not going anywhere," I heard Kardar's voice behind me. Ok, so there's Anthea, Kardar, so where's Zion?
"Get off me!" I heard Murph growl.
"MURPH!" Ania yelled, I turned around as I looked at the brown haired boy being dragged out by Zion.
"Let him go, Zion," Ania ordered as she glared at the boy. Zion smirked as Kardar came up behind her.
"Ania watch out!" I called as I tried to get towards her. I felt someone holding me from behind as I tried to move. I growled as I tried to struggle from Anthea's grasp.
"Ace is dead because of you," she hissed in my ear. I balled my fists.
"Then allow me to have the pleasure of allowing you to see him again," I growled as I moved my head back, hitting Anthea in the nose.
She stumbled back, holding her nose as she tried her hardest to stop the blood flowing.
"Let's not forget who the best was," I stated as she lunged at me. I moved out of her way, causing her to fall into Kardar, who growled as Ania moved from his reach.
"MURPH!" she yelled as she ran over to him and started fighting off Zion.
I frowned as Anthea pulled out a knife to try and attack me with. Kardar held me from the back, when the fuck did he get there?
No matter. I moved quickly, manoeuvring my body so I jumped over Kardar. Just as Anthea was about to plunge the knife into my chest I pushed Kardar forwards.
I felt awful doing so. Kardar and Zion were never bad, but they did deserve what was coming to them.
Anthea gasped as she pulled the knife from Kardar's chest. I wasn't sure where she had hit, but it looked like an instant kill. Kardar fell to the ground unconscious.
"Kardar?" Anthea asked as she leaned down next to him. She shook him, nothing.
I looked up to see Zion had looked over; his face grew pale as he pushed Ania away from him. He hurried over as he looked at his brother, who was as a pale as a sheet.
"Kardar?" Zion whispered as he pushed Anthea away from him. Zion scrambled around; feeling everywhere on Kardar's neck, looking for a pulse, but there was nothing. "Kardar, no," he whispered.
I bit back tears as Ania walked over to us. Kardar was the only family Zion had. I listened as the sobs wracked Zion's body.
"You bitch," Anthea hissed as she turned towards me.
"No!" Zion all but yelled. "We had an agreement with Caleb. No one was to pull a weapon on Summer or her friends," I was shocked. My father had ordered that, but why?
"So fucking what?!" Anthea growled as she turned to Zion, this wasn't going to end well.
I saw something shine in Zion's hand as he pulled out a small silver pocket gun. Ania grabbed Murph as she dragged him away from Zion over to the railing.
Just as I thought Zion would point the gun at me, he didn't. He pointed it towards Anthea, who had a look of chock and betrayal on her face.
"Zion," she whispered.
"Rest in hell bitch," he hissed as he shot her. Anthea gasped as the bullet pierced her heart. The gun went off again, another bullet, this time to the brain.
I squeezed my eyes closed as I tried my hardest not to listen to the sounds of the gun.
"I'm sorry," I heard Zion whisper. A final bang. My eyes shot wide open, Zion had committed suicide. I frowned as I looked at the two bodies of Kardar and Zion.
Ania walked over to me with Murph following her.
"What now?" Murph asked in an awkward whisper.
"We bury them in the mainland up in the hills when we get back. As for Anthea, I don't know. I only know where Kardar and Zion wanted to be buried," I answered as I shook my head.
"We'll bury her in the forest or something," Ania replied as she held my hand, while Murph held hers.
"HEY!" Ben's voice reached my ears as I ran over to the edge of the deck. He was floating in the water with a wide grin on his face. "LITTLE HELP?!" he yelled up as I pushed a rope ladder down for him.
"Is it activated?" I asked as Ben pulled himself over the barrier with my help.
"Yeah, it's activated," he answered as he looked up. "What the fucking hell happened up here?" he asked as he looked at the three dead bodies.
"Anthea killed Kardar, Zion killed Anthea and then committed suicide," Murph answered him.
"So, it was the murder, murder, suicide deal?" Ben asked, we all nodded.
"Alright, how about we head off?" Ania asked as she and Murph walked back towards the Captain's Quarters.
"Any idea where they're getting buried?" Ben asked as we stood at the front of the ship.
"Kardar and Zion are going to be buried up in the mountains passed Tilt Village. As for Anthea, I have no idea," I answered as I rested my head in my hands. "If I hadn't pushed Kardar into that knife he'd still be alive," I whispered as I shook my head.
Ben looked at me before pulling me into his arms.
"Now I don't know much about the way things with villains work. But I do know that Rangers do what they have to in their time of need, even if that means harming someone else," he stated.
"You just made that up," I sniffed.
"Why do you care so much?" he asked as he rested his head on mine.
"I don't, at least not about Anthea or Ace. But Kardar and Zion were the only family each of them had. I knew how they felt in a way. Ania's my only family, and she's not really related to me," I answered in a whispered voice. Ben shook his head.
"No, she's not your only family. You've got me, Murph, Kate, Keith, Sven, Wendy, Hastings, Erma, Rythmi, Isaac, Lunick and Solana, who you have yet to meet. You've got the whole Union and more. You and Ania will never be alone," he stated as he held me tighter to his chest.
I smiled lightly into his chest as I wrapped my arms around him, enjoying the warmth he gave off. Maybe Ben was right; maybe we weren't really alone anymore.
Anias' P.O.V
I sat shaking slightly in the Captain's Quarters. Murph was at the wheel as he watched the sea ahead of us. That and Ben and Summer who were hugging on the deck, they were so cute together.
"You ok? You're shaking," Murph asked as he looked over his shoulder at me. I blushed slightly but nodded my head.
"I'm fine Murph. Just never been around the murder, murder, suicide deal before," I answered in a whisper.
"You were in Team Darkness, didn't they murder people?" Murph asked. He found out somewhere along the lines of who Summer and I were, honestly he didn't care. When I asked him why, he said we had made up for it by working with the Union and protecting this Region, so he was cool with it.
"We did, but I was never around, Summer wouldn't let me be," I answered. Murph seemed slightly shocked by this as he turned to look at me.
"How old are you exactly?" he asked as he watched the tides.
"Fifteen, but when I first joined Team Darkness I was only thirteen," I answered.
"Why'd you join so young?" Murph asked, I sighed.
"My family were killed in an explosion in the Unova Region," I answered.
"I read something about that. I thought everyone perished in the fire," he replied.
"They did, but I wasn't in the building when the explosion happened," I stated. Murph only nodded his head.
I had calmed down; my body wasn't shaking as much, but still lightly. Murph pulled into dock in Tilt Village before turning to me. He draped a light blue jacket over me.
"Things will be fine," he whispered as he helped me stand from the chair. "We've got Kardar and Zion to bury. We'll go ask Rand for some help, and then we'll come back for Anthea, alright?" he asked. I nodded my head as Murph took my hand and lead me out of the Captain's Quarters, still shaking lightly.
"Calm down," Murph ordered as he lightly kissed my cheek. I stopped shaking this time, but my face heated up completely red.
"Aw so sweet," Summer stated as she walked over to us.
"Getting more than I am Murph," Ben stated with a wink. I blushed redder if possible.
"Heh, guess I got more game," Murph replied with a wink. Ben flushed red from anger but I couldn't help laughing.
"Oh please, Summer give me a kiss?" Ben practically begged.
"Grow a fucking dick first," she answered before turning to us, Ben looked at her flabbergasted.
"We need to go activate the last Mini Monument, you gonna be alright burying those three?" Summer asked. Murph and I nodded our heads as Summer and Ben took off.
This was basically one of the worst, and best, days of my life I've ever had.
Hey guys-
Keith: Your update's late.
I have good reasons.
Summer: Which is?
My exams start within the next two weeks, the first being PE. Unfortunately I'm predicted a B-
Cast: *laughs*
I know right? So I must revise. Updates from now up until late May, early June, will unfortunately be long. I will try to get at least one chapter posted every week if I have time.
Ben: She's just being lazy. She does revision for about an hour.
HEY! I have school from 8:40 until 3. Then I have the gym for two hours, which takes it to five. Then it takes me a half hour to walk home, which takes it to 5:30. Then I have to have dinner, and do homework, which takes it to around 6, 6:30 and then I have the two hours revision which takes it to 8:30 sometimes over and let's not forget that I have personal hygiene to take care of, or wouldn't you know about the last one?
Ben: I wouldn't know about what now?
You listened to nothing I said did you?
Ben: Not a clue, and I don't think anyone else cares either.
They deserve an explanation.
Ben: Yeah, but you could have made it more interesting.
Summer, whack him please.
Summer: *whacks Ben*
Ben: OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!
Summer and Ben: *get into a heated argument*
Rythmi: *sigh* just please, hit the review button. HTF apologises fully for this, but her education must come first!
Cast: Thank you for reading, please REVIEW!
