' ' = thoughts
The teenagers placed the two grunts at the back of the truck. John was in the driver's seat and Brendan, not knowing how to drive, was guarding the Magma.
Little did they know, Team Magma had other plans for them…
"We are finally here Brendan. Let's deliver those criminals to the police station. A car should be waiting for us near the pokecenter"
As soon as John got off the truck, he noticed something wasn't right. 'The police station is supposed to be open 24 hours a day. The lights are off and it doesn't look like there's someone inside.'
"Brendan don't you think there's something fishy going up around it" John was getting worried. 'What if this mission was only a set up ?'
"Yeah, let's stay on our guard. We should go now. I don't want to stick around here for too long"
"I agree let's go"
As they walked, they had the funny feeling that someone was following them. Every time they look back, everything seemed normal.
"Here we are the pokecenter" Brendan was more than pleased to be here. He nervously looked around to find the car ,and, to his relief found it.
They entered the car. As soon as John closed his door, all the doors in the car locked. As hard as they could, they began to try to open them but to no avail. They were trapped inside the car. A faint sound was heard.
"Shit ! GAZ ! LET US OUT !" John knew his attempt to get free wouldn't save them. It's in the human nature to try to survive and he was doing his best to do so.
"Brendan…I feel…dizzy…must…" John was now unconsious and his exemple was soon followed by Brendan.
Brendan woke up in a humid dark cells. The only light he had in his room was a small candle. He took it and began to look around. The walls were full of anti-Magma grafiti. One in particular got his attention.
I tried so hardAnd got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter.
This is for you Alexandra. Even if you don't recognize me anymore I justed wanted to say that I still love you.
Forever yours,
Jason
It reminded him of May. What if he failed like this Jason did before him. His thoughts were interrupted by a pig-looking guard.
"Come with me…I heard your little friend was going to be a part of our fight show tonight"
"A fight show ?"
"Yeah, it's like a gladiator fight but it's with pokemon"
Brendan was roughly tied up and dragged the see the show. He was worried about his friend.
"Don't look at me this way, you know, I'm only a guard here. I forgot to tell you, you're the next after your friend. "
An announcer dressed as a Team Magma executive began to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Team Magma Fight Show. Tonight we have a special for you. Two couple will fight right before your eyes in the arena. Both of the boys are part of the traitors and both of the girls have the honnor of being in our group. Without wasting anymore of your precious time, let's begin with our first match. John against Katerine." Brendan could hear that the crowd was in Katerine's favor. He looked at Katerine. Her eyes were like dark holes, no life inside them. He could see that John body was shaking. He was probably crying.
"Katerine what have they done to you…" He remembered all the good time they spent together. The romantic diners he prepared, the dances they went, the little fight they had, her way to smile at everything he said to her, this Katerine was long gone. Before him stood a Katerine-shaped doll. But still, he couldn't do her any harm…'Why must my life be that way ?'
"1,2,3 FIGHT !!!"
She lost no time. As soon as the announcer said the words feared by John. She released her first pokeball contained a Hariyama.
John reached his belt with a shaking hand…he couldn't do it. He felt to the ground. His mind was broken, he had lost to will to live on.
Brendan could only watch in horror as Hariyama got closer and closer to John. The chains around his legs and wrists were too tight, he couldn't help him.
"I love you Katerine…" the last part of the sentence was only heard by Katerine. A small glipse of life came back to her eyes as she saw what her pokemon was about to do. It was too late to call her pokemon back or to cancel the attack. She looked at him. He seemed to have noticed she was back to normal and looked relieved. It was the last thing she saw before her pokemon tackled the poor boy with all this might. The teenager was sent flying to a nearby wall. The sound that the impact made could be hear in the entire stadium. She rushed to see if he was still alive and took him in her arms. She cried for him. For the first time she had been captured by Team Magma she felt emotions. How could this happen ? Was it all a bad dream or was he really…
The next match was announced and Brendan was given three pokeballs. He looked at them and remembered something. Before he left the base, Archie had given him a pokeball. He said to use it with care. At first Brendan wondered what was inside the mysterious ball. Now would be his chance to test it.
Brendan entered the arena, determined to save May but he couldn't stop thinking about his friend John. From the other side of the arena entered May. Her eyes looked similar to Katerine's. They were lifeless. A painfull contrast to her normal cerulean eyes.
"1,2,3 FIGHT !" It was really ironic to see how counting to three was deadly.
Like Katerine before her, she wasted no time and release her pokemon. Unlike John, he released one too.
As soon as both pokemon exited their pokeballs. The arena was covered with light. The light became a beautifull rainbow. Both pokemon were facing each other. The water against the fire, Aqua against Magma. The combined powers of these two pokemon release the Team Magma members of their zombie-like state. May ,like the others, was back to normal. The first thing she saw was Brendan smiling at her.She smiled at him but the she had little energy left. The whole time she had being under Magma's control, they had given her the minimal to live. Being under their control, she felt nothing like hunger or thirst but now that she was free, she felt weak and stumpled. Brendan caught her before she hit the ground. Finally they were together. They were interrupted by a loud sound. The powers of the two legendary pokemon were too strong for the building and it was collapsing. The couple went to help Katerine and John.
"Please, save yourselves, I'll take care of him myself" Brendan helped May and made his way toward the exit. It wasn't easy because all the Magma were trying to get out. It was pure anarchy. By luck, they managed to escape the building. After they exited, the building entirely collapsed. They searched among the survivors. No trace of John or Katerine was found…
Epilogue coming up.
