In the biggest city in Kalos, which is Xars, a young girl with long gorgeous pink hair that's split in 2 long vangs behind her back, is walking in the rain with a red umbrella. The girl goes by the name Sola. Sola walks into an abandoned apartment and a recorded messege from her informant Shin plays.
SHIN: (talking on the recorder) The elders are going to be on the move.
SHIN: (talking on the recorder) You're in danger over there.
SHIN: (talking on the recorder) Move quickly, but quietly.
Else where, at the White Dragon Head Quarters, Vaison and a group of thugs enter the dark main room. The thugs fire off their machine guns. Suddenly, the lights turn on. The leader triplet elders scold Vaison for his recent action.
WANG LANG: What a foolish act you have committed.
WANG LANG: The fortune teller told us this.
WANG LANG: His exact words were "On the night of the full moon, the snake will slither horribly quickly to make use of its' venomous fangs.".
PIN LANG: You look so pitiful Vaison and you are.
SOU LANG: We've informed you of our decision that you can't be our successor.
VAISON: The syndicate doesn't need corpses that can't fight for blood any more.
WANG LANG: Nor does it need arrogant young punks.
WANG LANG: That arrogance of yours' will ruin every thing in the end.
WANG LANG: Take him to the punishment chamber immediately!
VAISON: Kill me.
VAISON: Just do it now.
WANG LANG: You can't choose how you'll die and when.
WANG LANG: After we teach you a good lesson in humiliation, then we'll end you.
VAISON: Just don't forget that a snake's venom poisons slowly after the bite.
Vaison is taken away.
Else where, at the Omni Diner, in the city of Tharsis, Max and Zet sit at the counter, depressed. It's at 7:20 pm and the diner is mostly empty, except for Max, Zet, and the 3 employees. Both Max and Zet are in a depressed mode and they drink their soda and talk.
ZET: (feeling depressed) Sheesh, that was the first time we screwed up so badly.
ZET: (feeling depressed) We never had a mission like that before when we were all a lone.
ZET: (feeling depressed) They kinda messed up our plans so many and too many times.
ZET: (feeling depressed) They really were trouble some times.
ZET: (feeling depressed) I kinda under stand why you kinda hate annoying pokemon and little kids that are younger than you.
ZET: (feeling depressed) I'm still going to miss them.
MAX: (feeling depressed) Me too.
Max and Zet hear a group of people walking up to the diner from outside. They jump over the counter, hide behind it, and the men enter and start shooting up the place.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
They kill 1 of the unsuspecting employees. Max grabs his 4th bottle of soda from the counter and takes a sip.
MAX: (holding a bottle of soda in one hand and a gun in the other hand) Needs more sugar.
Max puts the bottle of soda down and shoots back and guns down a thug with only 1 bullet.
BANG!
ZET: (holding his gun) Who are they?
Zet is shot in the thigh and Shin enters the diner. He shoots and kills the man that shot Zet.
BANG BANG!
MAX: (pointing a gun at Shin) Ling!
SHIN: (holding his gun and approaching Max and Zet) I'm Shin, his younger brother.
MAX: (holding his gun) Shin, it's good seeing you again.
MAX: (holding his gun) I haven't forgotten that you were both inside the organization.
Shin shoots and kills another thug.
BANG!
MAX: (holding his gun) Once you go against a syndicate, you never live a completely safe life.
MAX: (holding his gun) What's going on Shin?
SHIN: (holding his gun) Vaison is going to be executed.
SHIN: (holding his gun) He failed to pull off a coup and has been put under restraints by the leader elders.
SHIN: (holding his gun) You and Sola are in danger as well.
MAX: (shaking and holding his gun) Sola you say?
Even more thugs start shooting at the counter.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
SHIN: (holding his gun) They're in the city of Xars.
SHIN: (holding his gun) Xars is the biggest city in Kalos.
SHIN: (holding his gun) I'll hold them off here.
SHIN: (holding his gun) Please go now!
MAX: (holding his gun) I owe you one Shin.
SHIN: (holding his gun) Good luck.
Shin shoots 7 times at the thugs.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Max and Zet slowly escape.
A little later, at a doctor's office, a doctor fixes up Zet's wound and Max is in deep thought.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) I don't know what's going on with the white dragon syndicate, but it isn't really your problem.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) Sola and Vaison.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) To me, both those names sound mysterious.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) Just like a magic key that opens a door that should be kept closed.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) What are you gonna?
ZET: (screaming and laying on an operating bed) AHH!
DOCTOR: Please hold still!
The doctor takes the bullet out of Zet's thigh and he writhes in pain.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) You're no longer a member of the syndicate Max.
MAX: (stoic) Yeah!
MAX: (stoic) I know.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) And you doc.
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) Please forget every thing you've heard!
ZET: (laying on an operating bed) In fact, forget the fact that we even came here.
DOCTOR: (working on Zet's leg) What are you talking about?
DOCTOR: (working on Zet's leg) I'm just treating stray strangers that wandered into the office.
DOCTOR: (working on Zet's leg) Stray strangers that i can't even get rid of.
The doctor sprays a type of medicine into Zet's bullet hole wound.
ZET: (yelling and laying on an operating bed) OUCH!
Max remembers a moment at his old school, at a secluded spot, where he and Sola had a secret discussion 4 years ago.
[Max's flash back of the secret discussion he had with Sola, 4 years ago, begins]
MAX: When this is all over, i'm leaving the syndicate.
SOLA: They'll kill you.
MAX: Let them think i'm dead than.
MAX: We've already transferred to different schools.
MAX: (handing Sola a note) I'll be waiting for you at the cemetery.
MAX: (holding a note) I'll be at the cemetery.
MAX: (holding a note) Not in it.
SOLA: Max, i don't think i can come with you.
MAX: (holding a note) Yes you can.
MAX: (holding a note) We'll leave from this school.
MAX: (holding a note) We'll get out of this bad way of life.
SOLA: And go where?
SOLA: Do what?
MAX: (holding a note) Live and be free.
MAX: (holding a note) It'll be like living a dream.
SOLA: Okay!
Sola takes the note. Max and Sola lock their lips with each other, put their arms around each other, and stay in the same position for a whole 45 seconds.
[Max's flash back of the secret discussion he had with Sola, 4 years ago, ends]
The next day, riding on a small motor bike, on a side walk, Sola remembers another moment from 4 years ago, on a night, at the same secluded spot where she and Max kissed twice.
[Sola's flash back of the discussion she had with Vaison, 4 years ago, begins]
VAISON: (pointing a real gun at Sola's head) Were you going to betray me?
VAISON: (pointing a real gun at Sola's head) Did you really think you could just leave this way of life?
SOLA: Vaison!
VAISON: (pointing a real gun at Sola's head) Keep dreaming Sola.
VAISON: (pointing a real gun at Sola's head) It's not happening.
SOLA: Are you going to kill him?
VAISON: (pointing a real gun at Sola's head) I won't.
Vaison puts the gun right in front of Sola on a tree stump.
VAISON: You're going to do it for me.
VAISON: Either you kill him or both of you die.
VAISON: Those are your only options.
[Sola's flash back of the discussion she had with Vaison, 4 years ago, ends]
Else where, at the punishment chamber, Vaison is chained to the wall.
Else where, at the parking lot of a mall, Vivi walks to her bike and receives a call on her walkie talkie cell phone radio.
VIVI: (talking to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio) Hello!
MAX: (talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Where are you?
VIVI: (talking to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio) What do you want?
MAX: (talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) I'm pedaling out to the city of Xars.
MAX: (talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) You should head that way too.
VIVI: (talking to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio) I'm in the same city as you and why should i?
MAX: (talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) It's hard for Zet to get around on his own.
MAX: (talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Especially after getting shot in the leg.
MAX: (talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) I'm telling you to stop wandering around so much and just get back here.
VIVI: (yelling to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio) WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN ORDER ME AROUND LIKE I'M YOUR POKEMON?
VIVI: (yelling to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio) YOU TAKE ME FOR GRANTED.
VIVI: (yelling to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio) I HAVE A PLACE OF MY OWN TO GO BACK TO.
Vivi hangs up and puts her walkie talkie cell phone radio in her pocket.
VIVI: (talking to her self) What's with that aggressive attitude of his?
VIVI: (talking to her self) Zet isn't alone.
VIVI: (talking to her self) He can take care of him on his own for a little while longer.
VIVI: (talking to her self) Ellie and poochyena are there too.
Suddenly, Sola speeds down the street on her motor bike and 2 syndicate cars chase after her and the thugs inside shoot at her and end up accidentally shooting Vivi's bike twice.
BANG BANG!
Vivi shoots one of the car's tires flat and Sola gives her a lift.
BANG!
Vivi sits behind her as the other car continues chasing after them and Vivi shoots the hub cap off the car and the car spins out of control and flips over.
BANG!
Later and else where, Sola and Vivi take a break on the side of the road.
SOLA: Thank you for saving me.
VIVI: And you saved me back.
VIVI: Thank you too.
SOLA: You're a pretty good shot.
VIVI: It's come in handy when i've chased after bounty heads.
SOLA: You're a bad dude bounty hunter?
VIVI: Well, i'm taking a break for personal reasons.
VIVI: You look like you have some thing going on too.
VIVI: It might be good to pair up with another girl.
VIVI: How about it?
VIVI: You wanna be my partner?
SOLA: I have other commitments right now.
VIVI: I see.
VIVI: That's too bad.
SOLA: Do you know any bad dude bounty hunter hang outs?
VIVI: I can help if you want to put a bounty on some one.
SOLA: Actually, i'm looking for a bad dude bounty hunter.
SOLA: I'll take you back to your bike.
On the road, while riding on the motor bike, Sola and Vivi talk some more.
SOLA: (riding on her motor bike and talking to Vivi) What's your name, by the way?
VIVI: (sitting behind Sola on her motor bike and talking to her) Vivi!
Sola widens her eyes a little.
SOLA: (riding on her motor bike and talking to Vivi) Vivi you say?
VIVI: (sitting behind Sola on her motor bike and talking to her) Vivi Winstrate.
VIVI: (sitting behind Sola on her motor bike and talking to her) It's an uncommon name.
VIVI: (sitting behind Sola on her motor bike and talking to her) What's yours?
SOLA: (riding on her motor bike and talking to Vivi) Sola!
Vivi widens her eyes a lot in shock.
VIVI: (feeling shocked, sitting behind Sola on her motor bike, and talking to her) Sola you say?
SOLA: (riding on her motor bike and talking to Vivi) It's also an uncommon name.
Sola stops at the mall parking lot.
SOLA: (sitting on her motor bike) I'm glad i met you Vivi.
VIVI: (getting off of Sola's motor bike) Same here.
VIVI: Um, have i ever heard of you from some where?
SOLA: (sitting on her motor bike) If you see Max again, please tell him that i'll be waiting for him at a different version of the same secret meeting place, but in a different city!
SOLA: (sitting on her motor bike) He'll know what i mean.
Vivi's eyes widen again.
SOLA: (sitting on her motor bike) Please tell him that i'll keep waiting for him, even if it takes the rest of my life!
VIVI: (feeling shocked) But why?
SOLA: (sitting on her motor bike) Fare well, Vivi Winstrate.
Sola speeds off on her motor bike.
VIVI: Hey!
VIVI: (yelling) WAIT A MINUTE.
VIVI: (yelling at the top of her lungs) HOW DO YOU KNOW I KNOW MAX?
Later, in the evening, back at camp, Zet wakes up a lone at the camp site. Walking on a crutch, he finds Max looking at the view and sitting on a cliff, a few yards away from the camp site.
MAX: (stoic) Does it still hurt?
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Yeah, but it's getting better.
MAX: (stoic) That's good to know.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) So have you ever heard of this story?
MAX: (stoic) Huh!
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) A man injures his leg on a hunt and on an adventure.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) He's in the middle of a snow storm with no means to treat the wound.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) The leg begins to rot and death approaches.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) At the last minute, he's picked up by a plane.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) He's laying on a bed and he looks down from the window and he sees a land of pure white snow below him.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) The place glistening in the light was the sight of a snow covered mountain.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) The mountain in question was Mount Killamanreaper.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) As he gazes down at the peak of the mountain, he feels the life flowing out of him and he says to him self "That's where i was headed.".
MAX: (stoic) What else?
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) He closes his eyes and dies.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) The end.
MAX: (stoic) I see.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) I hate that story.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Men mostly think about their past right before their deaths, as if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive.
MAX: (stoic) My guess is that they do it because they search for proof of how fully they lived, rather than how long they lived.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) That's a very good theory.
ZET: (looking at Max and standing with a crutch in his left hand) Just turn back dude.
ZET: (looking at Max and standing with a crutch in his left hand) When we first met, you told me some thing very disturbing and interesting.
ZET: (looking at Max and standing with a crutch in his left hand) You told me that you had died once and that you saw death.
ZET: (looking at Max and standing with a crutch in his left hand) Why can't you just let it go?
ZET: (looking at Max and standing with a crutch in his left hand) Forget the past.
They both look down at the view.
MAX: (stoic) In some ways, i've already told you why.
MAX: (stoic) There was once a special girl in my life.
MAX: (smiling) For the first time in my life, i saw a girl that was beautiful in more ways than one.
MAX: (stoic) She ended up breaking my soul when she didn't show up that day at the secret spot.
MAX: (stoic) I still think about the time we shared together.
MAX: (smiling) We loved each other.
MAX: (smiling) She was my other half that i wanted and needed my whole life.
MAX: (smiling) She was also my soul mate.
Zet stares at Max and he gets up.
MAX: (looking down at the view and spotting Vivi pedaling closer to the area) She's back.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Huh!
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Who?
A few minutes later, Vivi makes it back to camp.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand and looking at Vivi's bike) Oh man.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand and looking at Vivi's bike) We're not a repair shop.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand and looking at Vivi's bike) Don't come back every time you break your bike.
VIVI: Where is he?
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) He who?
VIVI: The boy with the blue hair.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) The boy with the blue hair.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Can't you just say you're looking for Max?
VIVI: Where is he?
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Doing some thing in the woods near here.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) You came back here just to see Max?
VIVI: (walking away) I was asked to send a message by Sola and from Sola.
ZET: (standing with a crutch in his left hand) Hold on.
Zet receives a call from Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio. He answers it.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Hello!
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) Zet, it's me.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) What is it?
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) I don't have any new info right now.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) I'm glad you're okay.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) I was getting worried.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) It's getting very intensely bad.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Is it about the white dragon syndicate?
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) Yes!
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) There was apparently a coup 2 days ago concerning who was going to be the syndicate's new successor.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) It was an old guards vs the new guards situation.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) In the end, the triplet elders won and they're now out to kill any one involved in the coup and any one who has quit or betrayed the syndicate.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) They plan on killing every one on their kill list and your partner is on it.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) I know that.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) What i don't get is why are they trying to get rid of those that have already left the syndicate?
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) Any one that's against or have abandoned them will be killed down to the very last enemy, quiter, and traitor.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) That's how they do things.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) What kind of messed up logic is that?
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) Just run while you still can Zet.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) The police can't handle all of them.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) You and your team need to leave Tharsis and do it fast.
ZET: (talking to Bob on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) It's kinda too late for that, but thanks any way.
BOB: (talking to Zet on the other line) You're welcome.
Zet hangs up.
Else where, in the woods, a few yards away from camp, Vivi stands behind a tree. She watches Max polishing his guns. She tries to speak to him, but starts to back away instead, with out saying a single word. He notices her, by seeing her reflection on his shiny silver gun.
MAX: (looking at Vivi's reflection on his shiny silver gun) Do you have some thing for me?
MAX: (looking at Vivi's reflection on his shiny silver gun) You look like you have some info.
VIVI: How much will you pay for it?
MAX: (looking at Vivi's reflection on his shiny silver gun) I barely have any money.
White dragon syndicate bikers shoot at the cliff where Max and Zet were and the entire team quakes with stress. Max grabs another gun of his and his polished shiny silver gun.
MAX: (holding a gun in each hand and walking back to the camp site) You sure came back at a bad time Vivi.
VIVI: Weren't you the one who called me here?
Max stops walking.
MAX: (holding a gun in each hand) What ever.
MAX: (holding a gun in each hand) Or may be they followed you here.
MAX: (holding a gun in each hand) Oh well.
MAX: (holding a gun in each hand) It was gonna happen sooner or later.
He starts walking away again.
VIVI: (yelling) WAIT!
Vivi runs after him, where he parked his bike. He gets on his bike.
VIVI: (yelling) HOLD ON.
MAX: (sitting on his bike and holding a gun in each hand) I barely have any money Vivi.
VIVI: She said she'll be waiting there for you for the rest of her life.
VIVI: She said that you'd know what she ment.
MAX: (sitting on his bike and holding a gun in each hand) Well i don't know.
VIVI: Her name is Sola.
Max's eyes widen and Zet stares at Vivi.
VIVI: They're after her.
VIVI: They're trying to kill her Max.
MAX: (sitting on his bike and holding a gun in each hand) Zet, i'm going to fight now.
Max pedals off towards the bikers.
Else where, at the White Dragon Head Quarters, at the punishment chamber, the triplet elders and a firing squad stand before Vaison.
WANG LANG: You've caused a disturbance in our syndicate's affairs.
WANG LANG: By the will of the syndicate, you shall be executed by gun point.
Else where, Max struggles a lot to defend his friends and the camp site from the syndicate bikers.
VIVI: (yelling and sitting on her bike) I'M TAKING OFF TOO.
ZET: (yelling and sitting on his bike) WAIT!
ZET: (sitting on his bike) Your kick stand has been shot at and broken.
VIVI: (yelling and sitting on her bike) IT WON'T MATTER IF WE ALL DIE.
Back at the White Dragon Head Quarters, at the punishment chamber, Vaison is about to be shot execution style.
SOU LANG: Any last words?
VAISON: (chained to the wall) Nothing!
The firing squad members raise their guns.
Back at camp, Max continues defending his friends and the camp site.
Max shoots and kills 2 of the bikers and Vivi pedals off to help him.
BANG BANG!
Back at the White Dragon Head Quarters, at the punishment chamber, Vaison's black staravia enters and emerges from the darkness and explodes, launching smoke bombs from its feet.
BOOM!
The smoke bombs fall on some of the squad members and chaos erupts in the punishment chamber. The squad members can't see through the smoke and they begin to panic and suspect each other, but mostly Vaison. They start shooting all over the place, killing a few of each other.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Even though he can't see through the smoke, 1 of the squad members shoots twice at where he thinks Vaison is chained to the wall, but he ends up shooting Vaison's shackles instead.
BANG BANG!
The shackles are broken and Vaison is now free.
Back at camp, Max and Vivi continue to defend Zet and the camp site.
Vivi shoots and kills 2 bikers.
BANG BANG!
Max shoots and kills another biker.
BANG!
Back at the White Dragon Head Quarters, at the punishment chamber, Pin Lang and Sou Lang are killed by rapid gun fire.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Vaison takes his sword back from 1 of the squad members and slashes him. He approaches Wang Lang and puts his blade to Wang Lang's eyes. The thugs pause, stop shooting, and look on as Vaison holds the last living leader of the white dragon syndicate at blade point.
VAISON: (holding the blade part of his sword close to Wang Lang's eyes and showing an evil smile) And you shall cry red tears of fear.
Vaison viciously slashes Wang Lang's eyes.
Back at camp, Max shoots and kills the last of the syndicate bikers a few yards away from camp and he gets a call from Zet while pedaling.
BANG BANG!
He holsters both of his guns and answers the call.
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Zet on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) Hello!
ZET: (sitting on his bike and talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Max, can you still pedal on your bike?
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Zet on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) Yes!
ZET: (sitting on his bike and talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Don't worry about us.
ZET: (sitting on his bike and talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Just go.
ZET: (sitting on his bike and talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Find the soul mate you lost and get her back.
ZET: (sitting on his bike and talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Go and good luck.
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Zet on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) Thank you my friend.
They both hang up and Max pedals off and away.
Back at the White Dragon Head Quarters, at the punishment chamber, Vaison declares him self the new leader of the white dragon syndicate.
VAISON: (holding his sword in his hand) As of now, the leader ship has changed.
VAISON: (holding his sword in his hand) From now on, i'll dictate all authority and symbolism of this syndicate.
The next day, in the big city of Xars, at a cemetery, Max finds Sola waiting for him. It's raining just like it was on that other day. She points her gun at him.
TO BE CONTINUED!
DANG! That Vaison is 1 creepy violent kid and he's only 8 years old. He's also a stone cold blooded killer. Now that Vaison is at the top of the company ladder, what will happen to Zet and Vivi? An even better question is what will happen to Shin, now that he's an enemy and a traitor? A 3rd and better question than the other 2 questions is what's next for Max and Sola, now that they're reunited? Please keep reading to find out! Please type up your reviews of what you thought about this chapter! Stay curious my friends!
