Chapter 21- Tao's Decision
"Tao told you I was dead?" D-5 asked. "Why would she do that?"
"I really have no clue D-5, but she does still live here. Maybe we can find her and ask her." Kane said as the walked out of the court.
"No thanks," D-5 told Kane. "I think it's best we don't."
D-5 walked up the stairs and seen all the people that had watched the fight. They were all clapping their hands because a mysterious trainer that no one had known had defeated their champion. D-5 looked up and seen the TV that filmed the battle, as they do with all the other ones that fight there. Everyone was shouting to him how they liked it the part where he took out the Nidoking with one shot, or how he knew just what to do when the Venomoth began his sleep powder attack. D-5 was just astonished that every one admired him for doing such an easy task. He began to be modest saying that it was nothing, or that he had trained a lot, Although all that had been interrupted when he seen Tao leaving the scene. He tried to call out to her but his voice was drown out by the cheers of all the people. He soon made his way outside but she was nowhere to be found.
"Where could she have gone?" D-5 wondered when the two other brothers met up.
"Well she wasn't in the Pokécenter, but I did see her leave the Pokémart. When I got out she was gone." D-4 said as he reported his news.
"She was nowhere to be found in the gym." D-3 said.
"Well, I did see her, but she got away on me too." D-5 said. "Let's just go to the Pokécenter and rest."
It was now dusk and D-1, Peter, and Trevor where following Suicune through the forest. Peter had the sword held in his hand as he flew over the river that Suicune ran across leaving ripples everywhere. Trevor flew above in the air. People in villages near by could see his shadow in the light of the moon. D-1 was flying on the outskirts of the towns. They were now back to New Kanto and they were flying through Certh City now, but not before bringing D-2's body back to their house. They had past both Ambrand and Smink and were making record time. They knew right where to find the next Power Controller, down in Momen Heights.
Hey Peter, are you sure you can see in the darkness of the woods? D-1 asked through telepath.
Don't worry about me; the blade is giving off enough light. Just be careful that the towns' people don't lead on to become suspicious. We don't want Suicune attacked before we get there. Peter answered as Suicune began to speed up. Just keep a watchful eye on them.
Well they are curious about seeing Trevor's shadow on the moon, but they'll come up with their on explanations for that. D-1 said as he exited Certh City and began to travel across a dusty road towards Hern Bay, where Peter was from.
Once they reach Hern Bay they would have to go a small distance across the water to reach Momen Heights, where people gather to compete in the Tri-league every year. There would be three different stadiums there, one for each head master. Behind Clint's stadium is where they would find the second Power Controller.
The three had found a room in the Pokécentre to sleep. There were three beds and a small window that was located at the back of the Pokécentre. Every one was asleep, that's what made it a perfect time because no one would see you looking through their window. So that's why Tao went there.
"D-5, why? I was having a great life, but now you're back." Tao said, she looked down at what she was holding; it was the Staff of Ruins. "I guess he wants this?"
Tao took the staff and used it to knock on the window. The rattling awoke D-5 and his other brothers. They were still in their day clothes because they hadn't had any Pyjamas to change into. They all rushed out into the darkened city and found Tao, her long hair almost as a big curl that swerved around her head still had the same two long streaks. Her pants were baggy and torn; also she was holding the staff of ruins in the air.
"Tao what are y…" D-5 said before being interrupted by a bombardment of energy blasts. They, both D-4 and D-3 ducked for cover but Tao and D-5 were dodging them with their aerobic techniques, surrounded them all. D-5 looked up into the air only to find someone that was most un-expected at the time.
"Kemper, you have no right to be here!" D-5 said.
"What do you mean no right to be here?" Kemper asked. "You are trying to destroy me by taking Tao's Staff, so I do believe I have a right to be here."
"So you are back for this!" Tao said angrily. As she once again lifted the staff above her head. "Well you aren't gonna get it!" She swiftly brought the staff down to her knee, where she broke it in two.
"No!" D-5 said as he jumped towards the staff nearly missing being hit by one of Kemper's energy ball. "Now, we will never get to send him back to the spiritual world!"
"Well, what's so bad about him?" Tao asked in disbelief.
Kemper lowered himself to the ground and walked over to the bottom half of the staff. He picked it up and examined the point at the end of it. "Tao, my dear. This is what is so bad about me."
With a instant flick of his arm, he sent the end piece hurdling towards her. The piece went straight through her and she fell to the ground. Kemper then walked over and gave the final blow with a nice energy blast that scorched her to her bones. The cold blood from her veins stained the grass beneath her. D-5 could only help but to look on, he had no way of stopping him with out the rest of the town dying. Kemper laughed out one of his sinister laughs as he disappeared out of their sights. No one but D-5, D-3, and D-4 knew what had happened to Tao, and in the morning they knew the town would be upset to find a skeleton laying on there lawn and not being able to find Tao.
"Tao told you I was dead?" D-5 asked. "Why would she do that?"
"I really have no clue D-5, but she does still live here. Maybe we can find her and ask her." Kane said as the walked out of the court.
