Chapter 4: Friend or Foe?
INTERLUDE FROM THE BOOK OF TWILIGHT
It is the duty of all that call themselves 'pure' to prevent the Coming or in any possible way to hinder it if they are not strong enough to stop it. 'Pureness' gives us its power so we can stop this day it has also given us prophecies to tell us whom they are. If need be let the night fill you, true your essence shall die but it is a very small price to pay, for your life is unimportant.

The Coming
+++
The first thing that struck him as odd was that no one had come with the explosion.
Where was the ambulance? The cops? The onlookers?
But there was only the sound of soot slowly falling to the floor and the smell of singed hair HIS hair.
With that thought Ash slowly levered himself up felling freshly made bruises surprisingly on his ribs.
"Sorry bout your ribs." A voice called to him.
Looking up he saw Fritz hunker down beside him and offering a cup saying simply "Java?"
Smiling happily for he had NEVER been allowed coffee let alone Java he grabbed the cup and downed it in one gulp.
Suddenly totally exhausted he started to slump and barely slurred out "thhhhaaaaaat wasssnnntt Jooova."
"No it wasn't" Fritz said as darkness embraced Ash and sent him into la la land.
+++
Misty's face hurt she remembered being offered tea by that jerk and after refusing saying it was probably drugged he laughed and then she saw a fist pain exploded in the center of her face and then merciful darkness enclosed her and toke away her memories.
Her face hurt her, head hurt, she hurt.
Why had that bastard done that? Now she knew she hated him even more than she did before when he listened in. her face burned at THAT memory.
In reality she wasn't mad at him for that but at herself and Nakita.
Shaking her head she groggily looked around no one was there all there were trees and more trees oh and a bag of provisions.
Well at least he was a little considerate.
Shakily she stood up grabbed the pack and stumbled into the forest looking for any trace of humanity or her friends.
+++
A gust of wind blew over the small town of Pallet stirring up the dirt and blowing in the vacant windows and doors.
Two figures stood on the small hill overlooking the new ghost town.
"It's all happening like you said" one of them with a cape on commented.
"Take the hood down no need to hide." The other one said smirking for some odd reason the wind didn't seem to touch him.
"Shuddup" the first one growled.
"And of course it is have I ever led you astray?" the second still smiling commented looking interested.
Without a word the first leapt strait into the air and disappeared leaving behind only the word 'idiot'.
Chuckling to himself the other one slowly faded into the night.
+++
That was the eighth time Misty had seen that very stump 'so now not only am I lost I'm being stalked by a stump' she thought wryly.
She slumped down next to her 'stalker' and stared at her shimmering hand she had forgotten about her scales so she decided to swim but when the memory came back it was to late.
Closing her eyes Misty thought back to the encounter with Fritz.
Why had he done this? HOW had he done this?
She knew she wouldn't find out unless he decided to let her know. During her youth many thought he was a genius but no one ever knew for sure because when they asked his answer always was "There is a fine line between genius and insanity."
Very few understood the answer and those that did always said "It's a good joke. just a joke." no one understood that either. Where they telling the questioner that or trying to convince themselves?
Shaking her head she stood up and found herself staring strait into the caramel brown eyes of Ash Ketchum.
~~~
The world stretched and distorted overlapping with two other places all three of which were unraveling and reforming into another Ash, Misty, and Brock stood back to back as the world rewove itself into a patch of grassy hill by a small stream on which sat the traitor the one who had tricked them.
Staring at them with a look of grim determination.
Slowly standing up he somehow glided over two them with a look of sadness aimed at Misty.
"You FREAK!" Ash screamed as he leapt at the smaller boy with his hair bristling.
Fritz turned held up his hand and air suddenly bound the leaping boy.
"One of you was marked years ago so that you could be found and eliminated along with the rest of us." He said only a hint of sadness entering his voice.
"So I separated you with the help of the only person I trust to find out which it was now I know." Grimly he went on "The other two can continue as they wish I'll be back when I'm through with the purification."
With that he stepped forward grabbed a shirt and the two disappeared.
+++
A few hours later Brock and Ash sat on separate rocks in a small clearing.
"Well Brock we don't know how long it'll take so what ya think?"
"I think we should go to Pewter." He said nobly "Uhhhh by the way do you know what happened in Pallet I sorta forgot."
"The funny thing is Brock I forgot too."
They both sighed and lowered their heads.
As they stood up a soft hiccup was heard from the forest.
Turning their heads they could hear voices through the trees and they both grinned at what they heard.
"Ok.. ok.. now strait! NOOOOO I SAID *STRAIT*"
"*hic* Well if ya want me to *hic* walk strait tell the trees to stop *hic* moving!"
"You are TOTALLY sloshed. I'm glad you only needed to take four takilas!"
"One Takila Two Takila Three Takila FLOOR!" Misty disjointedly sang as she stumbled blurry eyed into camp with a drunken blush on her checks.
A smirking Fritz followed behind shaking his head as she stumbled over to the laughing duo.
"Watsh a pair of handshom men doin' out here?" She said while gesturing grandiosely which caused her to fall over and out cold.
AN: well what ya think r & r yo!
