Ch. 38 The End
{Rui's Point Of View}
I woke up to Silvia shaking me, "Rui!" She yelled.
"Ugh. My head hurts." I groaned.
"What happened?" Silvia asked.
I looked around to see I'm still surrounded by bodies. My brother's dead body laid next to me. His blood dried up on my face and the wall alongside me. As I stared at him, I couldn't bring myself to hate him... or my mom for that matter.
Silvia looked at me worriedly, "Mate?"
I looked at her sadly, "I can't believe we're cousins."
Silvia was taken aback, "What?"
"My brother and your mom are cousins. She knew. She knew from the very beginning we were meant for each other." I told her.
"How?" Silvia asked.
I looked at Silvia sadly, "Future Sight. Cray's grandmother saw our futures. Cray suffered far more than I realized. He lost his father, his freedom, happiness, love, and family. Just because he was a Gardevoir."
"I thought he was human." Silvia frowned, sitting next to me.
I shook my head, "He was a hybrid but didn't look at himself as one. To him, being a Gardevoir isn't based on appearance. It's a state of mind. A choice. One he stuck by even though it led him on this horrid path." I replied.
"Why would he do that?" Silvia asked.
I sighed before answering, "His dad. He loved his father and knew this was the best way to live up to him."
"I'm bringing you back home. Come on." Silvia told me.
I nodded in agreement, "Okay."
-Two Days Later-
I was sitting in a Doctor's office for Gardeviors. Silvia was outside the room as a female Gardevoir inspected me. She ran physical, mental and emotional tests on me.
"Hm..." She hummed.
I started speaking to her in Gardevian but here's the translation, "What's wrong?"
She answered back in the same tongue, "Your body will make a full recovery. Your mind on the other hand, may be altered forever."
"How so? My brother's memories?" I asked.
"Your brother... ah yes. Cray. I've inspected him once before. At that time I had a crush on him, hah ha." She giggled.
"Can I ask... what his last name was?"
"Aitsu. Cray Aitsu." She smiled.
'Cray Aitsu.' I smiled to myself before seeing an image of my brother being fussed over by this doctor.
"He changed my mind, however." She continued.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I used to think Hybrids and humans couldn't be Gardevoir. I was wrong. He was one of the best... although... I wish he didn't end up that way." She whispered sadly.
"Yeah... At least he's getting a funeral." I frowned.
"That's about all we can do, or pray to Arceus that Xerneas will bring him back to life." She joked.
I chuckled, "Yeah. I doubt that."
"Do you know what happened to his son?" She suddenly asked.
My eyes widened, "He has a son?"
She suddenly swallowed hard, "You didn't know? Not even from his memories?"
"No. Nothing at all." I replied.
She thought to herself for a moment before coming up with the obvious conclusion, "Hm. He must've kept some memories from you."
"Obviously. Who did he have a child with?" I asked.
She looked aside nervously, "A Gardevoir that was found dead 2 years ago. Gardevoir rules are different depending on gender. Males are required to have at least 1 child when they become full fledged adults. He probably was forced into doing it or being shamed."
"The brown gown..." I whispered.
She nodded quickly, "Yeah. Black Gowns have the ability to rip away a Gardevoir's psychic powers. Most brown gowns are slaves for being 'traitors' to our culture. My brother ended up one for killing his wife after finding out she wanted to stop being mates." She explained.
I was a little surprised by that, "Wow. I'm sorry that happened to you."
She shrugged, "It's okay. I moved on quickly. It's not good to dwell because that's not Gardevoir. We do what we do and never think back."
"So, what happened to his son?" I asked.
"Disappeared. The only people that knew what happened to him are dead now."
"Should I try to find him?" I asked curiously.
"The others are currently looking, I doubt you could help. No offense." She added quickly.
"None taken. Back to my medical, anything else wrong?" I asked.
"Oh right, that. You're no longer a normal human." She chimed.
I coughed, "Wait, what?"
"Watch. Think fast." She threw a ball of crumbled up paper at me.
I went wide eye and suddenly the ball floated in front of me, "No way."
"Yep. They're weak but there. Psychic powers. Who knew." She giggled.
"Sigh. He gave them to me as a last ditch effort to help me." I groaned.
"To wrap this all up, you have weak psychic powers, some of your brother's memories, and you'll heal just fine." She smiled.
I walked towards the door, "If that's all, then I'll let myself out."
She smiled and waved, "That's fine. Bye!" After leaving the room, she pulls out a photo of her and Cray kissing, "Cray... I wish you and Kenny were still alive..." she whispered, tearing up.
"How did it go?" Silvia asked, hugging me tightly.
I rubbed her back, gently massaging the sensitive protrusion, "Apparently I have psychic powers now. Go figure." I chuckled.
She kissed my cheek, "You do? Show me." she giggled.
"Okay. Hm..." I looked around.
I saw a book on the floor and tried to pick it up. It took a bit of time and focus but it began to move. After a couple seconds, I dropped it and couldn't pick it up again.
Silvia started laughing, "That's it! You couldn't hold a pen for longer than a minute!"
I blushed hard, "Shut up! You couldn't hold a decent conversation!" I retorted.
"Oh? But I don't need to hold a conversation." She gently caress my body, "I just need to hold you."
I blushed bright red, 'Wow. Fuck. She whooped my ass.' I thought quickly.
"What's wrong? No comeback?" Silvia giggled with a cute smirk.
"Uh... Oh! Where do we go now? Back to school?" I asked.
"I already graduated. You might be held back." Silvia replied nervously.
"Shit! The only person meant to be held back is Jay. Oh yeah. He's dead. Well shit. Looks like he'll never graduate high school. I always knew he was a fail." I chuckled in bad taste.
"Derek and Anthony went to the next grade without a hitch but they miss you." Silvia replied.
"Good. Time to go back to school then.
-4 Years Later-
Returning to school was a much bigger challenge than I thought. Silvia wasn't there and I couldn't share a room with Derek and Anthony anymore. We still hung out all the time though. Derek still loved S'mores and man was that annoying. After coming back, a lot of the Gardevoirs were severely attracted to me. It had to do with the fact Margrev declared me a member because of my brother. I would reject but the dreaded brown gown hovered over me. Instead, I just rejected everyone's advances. The only nice thing I couldn't resist was a cake made specifically for me. It was good. Really really good. Good enough to agree to one date... behind Silvia's back of course. When it was over, I had to tell her about Silvia being my mate. When word of that spread around, the advances began to stop. By Junior year, Silvia got a Black Gown through her mother. I was proud of her and gave her a 'present' for the occasion. Everyone should know what that means. It's Silvia for Arceus' sake. Then came Derek and Anthony's graduations. I was happy but deeply saddened at the same time... until my name was called. For my excellent record, study, and recommendations, I was allowed to graduate alongside them. The surprise left me stunned until Derek slammed his white graduation cap onto my head. I laughed and threw it off before heading up to grab my diploma. After shaking both of the principals' hands, I saw Margrev in the crowd. I knew she had something to do with this but didn't bother to talk to her about it. I was just happy to graduate. The After party was great but when it was over, Derek, Anthony and I went our separate ways. I was sad but when I reunited with Silvia again, I forgot. Then came the news about Jason and Coral being a part of the Spec Ops. That was a huge surprise. I never knew he was a sniper that had a gun called the Nightmare. Coral is pregnant so she'll lay an egg making me question Silvia. I know for a fact Silvia wants children.
Currently, I was looking at my brother's grave wondering what he'd want me to do, "Cray..." I whispered.
Someone spoke to me from behind, "I didn't think anyone else would come here."
I turned to see it was Cray's grandmother, "Oh. Hello." I smiled.
"How are you?" She asked politely.
"I've been well. What about you?" I asked.
"I'm getting old, My only son is dead and my only grandson is dead. What do you think?" She replied calmly.
"I'm sorry." I frowned.
"It's my own fault for putting him down this path. I'm sure you know how Gardevoir are but some things just can't be left alone once you're my age." She sighed.
I decided to be honest, "I used to hate my brother. He did terrible things to me but... it wasn't really him. He murdered my father but he didn't really want to."
She stood beside me and placed flowers on the grave, "I don't blame you for that. We ordered him to do many terrible things. I don't know how many memories you have but you'll never know everything. He preformed assassinations, theft, arson... all for us, the Gardevoir, to take advantage. I remember one mission he broke into a human base that preformed illegal experiments. In his report he said there was a special black stoned weapon. It had a large white X on it's blade. The Name Dark was original written on it but the k was scratched to make an X. He was bewildered by this strange artifact. From what the humans believed, the artifact isn't of any origin. It's just... there. The weapon itself had a deathly aura. An aura so powerful, it killed any of the scientists that came near it. Cray described it as a possession gone wrong. Like the aura went inside them, decided they weren't worthy and ripped them apart. Fearing what this artifact could do, Cray destroyed it by using his special attack." She started to chuckle.
"Hybrid Quantum Break?" I smiled.
"Yep. I never thought he'd be one to name his attacks but he did. I can't fault him for trying to be unique though." She chuckled more.
I looked at the flowers, "There were a few like Psychic Slicer, Extortion, Synchronization, etc. Some were funny to me. I just wonder how powerful he really was."
Cray's grandmother tilted her head a bit before shaking it, "It's hard to know if you consider the fact that he was able to go mega. The experiment he went through worked but caused his mega to not take form. I'd say it's like an overflow of energy that just bursts with no physical change."
"What do the Gardevoir have in store for me?" I asked.
"Nothing. Margrev wants you to be left alone because of Cray's death. I find it interesting that you're mates with Cray's cousin but I knew it was to be." she replied.
"That's a relief but what about the humans?" I asked.
"That fight ended the moment we discovered what the Hybrids were up to. 2 Months of war that ended with a huge cost to the population. 47%. Nearly half. I can't even begin to imagine the numbers. All because of that Zoroark hybrid we overlooked in the Spec Ops. Two years prior to Cray's enrollment, a Zoroark hybrid was brought in. No one knew her name, I doubt she even had a name but she had a knack for that sort of thing. Impersonation, Extortion, trickery, theft, spying... She graduated in three months and complete 17 missions without a hitch. Then disappeared during her last mission. Months passed and everyone believed she died but it was the opposite. She killed a Zoroark and impersonated her perfectly. She must have studied her for months. Her habits, how she talks, probably how she acts with her mate as well. The perfect disguise to help her get to know the other hybrids. It's saddening that so many of them are dead now. Years of training, money and potential all gone for the sake of a doomed empire. Hybrids need us to breed... well humans I should say. Which explains why we found over 30,000 humans trapped against their will in The Smoke. 40 of them were scientists trying to develop new technology for them to use. I was impressed they've gotten that far in such a short time. The Smoke is artificial. They must have taken months to dig it out and then years to develop the levels, the whirlpool technology, medicine created through herbs and fungus grown in the caves." She paused for a moment, allowing me to speak.
"You sound like you're fascinated."
"I am. I can't help but wonder how far they could have gone if we didn't stop them. The Smoke extended down 17 levels to cover a 5 cubic square miles. That's incredible, especially since the whirlpool powered the entire underground city. I wish I had gotten to see it but the Hybrids destroyed all of it using bombs they've created." She sighed.
"What kind of bombs?" I asked.
"Seismic bombs. They created an Earthquake that cave in the entire mountain. Whatever was there, is buried under all that rock and rubble now. What a waste." She shook her head disapprovingly.
I shrugged, "Nothing we can do about it."
"Yeah... I need to leave. It was nice meeting you." She hugged me tightly, "Please make us proud. I don't want my grandson's sacrifice to be in vain." She whispered before leaving.
I hugged her back, "I'll do my best. I promise." I replied.
After we stopped hugging, she left. I took a few extra minutes to look at my brother's grave before leaving. When I got home, Derek was there to pay a visit. Silvia was out working with her mother so he was good company. Turns out Hybrid was still alive and singing. To save his life, he spilled the beans on everything Kelly(The Zoroark Hybrid) was planning. Cray was under too much surveillance to actually report what was going on. Since returning to singing, Cray started donating most of his money to shelters. It seemed like he had a change of heart. That or his club, Afterlife, got destroyed. I think the latter. Time began to fly by as I got accepted to work as a computer engineer. Basketball is still my biggest hobby and I'd play against Silvia regularly. By the time I was 25, Silvia was pregnant. That wasn't a surprise at all to anyone. What did surprise me, is the fact that Anthony got a Garchomp pregnant... HOW!? Well, to each his own I guess. Our first daughter was adorable, so I named her Alivia. Her happy nature and quick learning made me proud. Two months after she was born, again Silvia was pregnant. This time, it was a boy and I could only give him one name.
I stood next to Silvia who held Alivia in her arms, "It's a boy." Silvia smiled.
Alivia was three months old, "So I have bwother?"
"Yes Alivia, you have a brother. Not bwother." I teased.
Silvia rubbed my back, "What should we name him?"
I smiled and picked him up, "Aitsu."
He tilted his head in wonder, "Ralll?"
"Your name is Aitsu. Welcome to our family." I smiled as I held him.
"I like that name." Silvia supported as we held our children.
{Third Person Point Of View}
Nix closes a book with the name My Unwanted Life written on it, "And with that, Rui lives the rest of his life in peace. Soon after, Pokemon and Humans began to live together in peace. The borders were gone as both societies melded together as they always should have been. Sure, it's a sappy ending but it's the ending they deserve after getting a second chance. There were other stories that COULD have happened."
He places the book on a bookshelf with several other books from that universe. The Original MUL, The noose waits for me, Rise of Nightmare, Hybrid's coming, Mary's sacrament, Silvia's affection, Afterlife, Sacrificed, etc.
"There are so many tales. Tales of what in fact did happen." He moved to the right side of the shelf, "And things that almost happened. The Enslavement of Humanity, The neXt coming, The Prince's coup, Cray's insanity, Cray's son becomes the usurper, Kelly conquers all, Hybrid Society after death, and finally MUL:The Drug Arc. The Drug arc is the untold part of Rui's tale. It's the scenario of what if Rui refused to go back with Silvia after gaining Cray's memories. What if he decided to go back to human society and stay there to try and cope? Maybe this story will be told, maybe it won't. The ending isn't happy though. What I find interesting, is the stubbornness of some character trying to come back. Darx for instance. He did everything he could to come back but didn't succeed. Robert was a conduit for his return but ultimately got wrecked by Cray. The same goes for his Zweihander, Cray destroyed it with a Hybrid Quantum Break. Arceus did the good thing and stayed out of the fighting unless it got out of hand. He needed to trust his creations to eventually reach the point of coexistence. Now that they have, he's not needed at all. The world is as it should be, peaceful. Maybe one day I'll be able to be revived to bask in this happy peaceful world. Either way, it was a nice read and I hope you all enjoyed it.
(Summary)
Rui and Silvia had two children, Alivia and Aitsu. They live to grow old and die, leaving the next generation to lead their people.
Derek married Zoe, had two children and became middle classed citizens in the human part of the continent.
Anthony married a Garchomp and had one child. After the first mating, Anthony broke his hips because he was stupid enough to think it could support a Garchomp. That was a noob move Anthony, Only Jay should be that stupid. After that he was paralyzed from the waist down with Rui and Derek laughing at him. Serves him right for doing it.
Margrev eventually became the utmost leader of the Gardevoir species with Silvia as her successor. After returning, she lived happily with her husband until their inevitable deaths.
Jay's family... probably got cancer. Don't know, they suck just like Jay and his kid did.
Hybrids that were left alive were either jailed or allowed to live a normal life after what the Zoroark Hybrid did.
The End.
(With MUL over and Fruits, Spices, and Gardevoir near over, what's next? I'll tell you right now. The next story for Rui is in space. The name of the story is going to be 'In A Far Away Galaxy...'. We all know how bad Rui gets screwed over but this story just might take the cake. I hope you all look forward to it. BYE!)
