Chapter 54

Chapter 54. There is a poll up for Assassin Tales.

Sky

Rein, Spark and I stood back to back, assessing the situation. The Purity members were all either ground or flying type. Well, except for Cilo. I looked down at Mezra. Her eyes were narrowed in concentration. Why was she holding a book in her mouth? I turned my attention back to the Pokemon surrounding us.

Cilo stepped out of the crowd and held out a hand, "I'll be taking that."

Mezra shook her head, the leaves on her body beginning to glow. Cilo's eyes widen and he jumped away as a huge explosion rocked the library. Smoke was thrown up into the air but we could hear Cilo yell "Attack!"

"Let's go," growled Rein, "But don't kill anyone on our side."

The three of us used the smoke to our advantage. I closed my eyes and let aura take over. I ducked down as a Flygon seemed to appear in front of me, using dragon claw. I lifted my hand upwards, my spike slicing through the Flygon's jaw. I ripped my spike out and swung around, my left spike burying into a Fearow's neck. I ripped my spike out and continued to take out the Purity Organization members, hoping my strength won't give out.

Fang

Fang jumped back as Cilo seemed to appear before him, swinging his blade like arms. Fang lifted his axe as Cilo's blade hit it hard. "Where's my sister?" hissed Fang, swinging his axe but Cilo jumped into the air.

"Sorry," he said in mid air. He landed behind Fang, "That is not something I'm going to tell you!" One of his elbow blades began to glow purple. "Psycho Cut!" He swung it and a purple energy wave flew towards Fang.

Fang dove to the ground and the wave flew over him. "Cilo's a lot stronger than before. Damn. How can I beat him? I wished I asked Rein or one of the others for some training." He got to his feet just as Cilo seemed to disappear and appear in front of him. Cilo's blade was about to plunge into Fang's stomach when Luke seemed to come out of nowhere, slashing Cilo's arm. Cilo teleported away in pain.

"Thanks," said Fang.

"No problem," Luke turned around, burying a knife into a Staraptor's head, "But you aren't fast enough."

"Hang on," said Fang, suddenly realizing something, "Where's Kyle and Sophie?" He ducked as a long kunai flew over his head, burying into a book. "Wow! I can't believe I actually sensed that!"

"Lower your head," ordered Luke, throwing one of his knives. Fang ducked and the knife whizzed over his head, hitting a Sandslash. "Kyle and Sophie are near Mezra." He pointed in the general direction before running over to the dead Sandslash, ripping his knife out.

"Thanks for saving me again," said Fang, "I'm going to see if Mezra needs help." With that Fang disappeared into the mess of fighting Pokemon, slashing some of them with his axe.

Mezra

Mezra was standing in front of Kyle and Sophie. The three of them were backed up into a corner, surrounded on all sides by Purity members. She had given the book to Sophie to hold.

A Camerupt stepped out of the Purity Organization crowd."I would give up now," he sneered, "There is nowhere for you to go and you won't be able to take out all of us at the same time. Just give us the book and we'll leave."

"I won't let you let it return," snapped Mezra, "You are not getting the book."

"What's it?" wondered Kyle.

Mezra ignored him, her attention on the Camerupt. "I guess you have to learn the hard way. Flamethrower!"

Mezra turned back and grabbed the book and threw it in the flamethrower. "I guess I win that one," she sneered.

The Camerupt roared, "How dare you. We were going to let you live but now…kill them all!"

"Stay behind me!" ordered Mezra, her green fur glowing. "Leaf storm!" A flurry of leaves shot out of her fur and slammed into many of the Purity Organization Pokemon. Before the Camerupt could unleash another flamethrower, she jumped onto his head her ears glowing. "Air slash!"

The Camerupt cried out and fell backwards from the close range attack. She took the moment of peace to look around. The number of Purity members were still high but Cilo was nowhere to be seen. "What a coward," she said, "Leave the Pokemon he command to save himself."

Mezra saw Fang run over to them. "Oh good. You are alright. I was worried there for a second," panted Fang, almost dropping his axe.

"We're fine," said Sophie, "But Mezra. Why did you burn that book? I thought you wanted to protect it."

"It is not your concern," said Mezra. Her eyes began to glow green. Plants seemed to burst out of the walls, wrapping around the Purity members and lifting them high into the air.

The four assassins hurried over. "Your powers are so useful," said Rein, flexing his extremely long claws, "This makes it easier to get rid of them."

"You are not going to kill them," snapped Mezra, "We are going to leave them here."

"But they'll come after us again," Sky pointed out., "That's going to be a problem."

Mezra shook her head, "Don't worry about it. Us legendaries have…ways to take care of them." She closed her mouth. Telling them anymore would go against the legendary code. "Anyway. We need to go. We have only two days to get there."

"Where are we going?" asked Spark.

Mezra racked her brain on how to say it without giving away too much. She finally settled on half the truth. "It's an old burial site."

"A burial site?" asked Fang, "What could be important there?"

Mezra shook her head, "Please. We need to go." She decided to tell another lie. The legendary Pokemon weren't going to be happy with her. "Rein. I heard your item was near the area."

"Oh," said Rein, "Well why you didn't say so. I guess we have to go in that direction anyway."

Mezra flinched, not happy that he even believed her lie but she followed them out of the library, only stopping once to throw a magical leaf into the air.
