"Lan, are you ready?" Maylu asked, the next morning. They were sitting outside his house on the steps.
"Yeah, I think so." Lan replied, looking at Maylu. She smiled softly and handed him his vest, "It's bullet proof now, but I still want you to be careful."
Lan slid his vest over his shirt, "It looks the same." He said, looking down at it.
"It's supposed to. That way he doesn't know that they are bullet proof. Mine is like that too." Maylu indicated her pink vest that she wore.
"Oh. What about Megaman and Roll? Should we leave them at home?" Lan asked, taking his PET out and looking down at it. Megaman was still sleeping, since it was a Saturday and he was allowed to sleep in. Maylu looked at her PET and watched Roll sleep.
"I think we should, Lan. I don't want to get my PET shot on accident and then Roll be gone because the data was destroyed."
"And I don't want that to happen to Megaman either." Lan took his PET holder off and set it on the ground. Maylu did the same.
"Lan, do you....-?"
"Maylu, we're gonna make it through this. It took me a long time to tell you how I felt and now that I have, I'm not gonna back down because Dex doesn't like it. I'll protect you no matter and if I lose my life doing so, at least one of will still be alive."
"Lan, don't talk like that!" Maylu cried, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him into a tight embrace. Maylu didn't even want to think about what would happen to if Lan got hurt today.
"I'm sorry, Maylu. I didn't mean to scare you." Lan held onto her as well, knowing she was afraid.
"I know, Lan." Tears sprung forth in her eyes and before she knew it, she was crying. "But now that I think about it, I'm afraid, Lan. I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt today."
"And the same goes for you." Lan lifted her chin up to look into her eyes, "If you get hurt, I'd probably lose my mind. That's why we both have to be extremely careful and on our guard. If we don't, it could cost us our lives."
Maylu sniffed and nodded,"Ok. I'll try."
"No, don't try. Promise me."
"But Lan-"
"Promise me, Maylu. Promise me, you'll be extra careful today. I love you and if you die today, I swear I'll kill him. Promise me, you'll be on guard so I don't have to do that."
"I promise."
"Good." Lan leaned forward and kissed Maylu to make sure she remembered her promise to him. He kissed her until she was breathless, sliding his tongue in her mouth. He explored her mouth thoroughly, memorizing everything. When he pulled away, Maylu eyes had a dazed, dreamy look.
"You ok?" Lan asked, laughing.
"Wonderful..." Maylu replied, the dreamy look still on her face. She leaned against Lan, who put an arm around her waist.
"We're gonna make it..."
At 12:00 in the afternoon
"The final phase, Natalie. Are you ready?" Dex said, into his cell phone. He was watching Lan and Maylu have lunch together. It was nothing heavy, but he knew if he made them run after they had just got done eating, it would make them both tired quicker.
"Of course I am. I've never been more ready in my life." Came Natalie's reply.
"That's good to hear. Very good to hear." Dex replied, watching them get up and leave the place they were eating at.
"Make you move, Nat."
"Gotcha." Natalie said, from another hiding place. She came out and watched as Lan and Maylu walked by her. Following them to the park, Natalie made her move. She took a short cut and came to a halt right in front of the couple.
"Stop right there!" Natalie cried, crossing her arms and standing in their path.
"What do you want?" Maylu asked, letting go of Lan's arm.
"I'm tired of you messing with my plans and I'm going to make you pay."
Maylu, who had recently started taking karate, stood in a fighting stance, "Bring it on, whore."
"I am!" Natalie ran at her throwing a kick at her face, which Maylu dodged, and pushed her leg back. As the two girls began to fight, they began to move away from Lan until he couldn't see them anymore. That's when Dex came up behind him and shoved the gun in his back.
"I told you I'd make you pay for what you did to me, Lan." Dex said, anger seeping out of his voice. He pressed the gun further into Lan's back and Lan decided he had to get further away from him. Doing what he thought best, Lan slammed his foot down on Dex's foot and then thrust out his elbow to hit him in his private area. As soon as Dex kneeled over to cup his private area, Lan jumped out of that way, hoping Dex didn't shoot at him in his pain.
"Lan, you'll pay for that too!"
"That's what Gutsman said and he almost got deleted!" Lan said, trying to make him mad. Lan knew when Dex was mad, he didn't think. And with a bullet proof vest it would be ok if he got shot at once or twice.
"How dare you make fun of Gutsman!"
"I'm not making fun of Gutsman; I'm making fun of you!" Lan replied, running away from him. 'This park is too public, if he shoots at me, he may hit someone else. But where else can I go? I know! I can go to...the old N1 Grand Prix area! Half of it is destroyed so no one will be over there!' And with that thought in mind, Lan ran toward it.
With Maylu and Natalie
"Are we far away enough now?" Maylu asked Natalie, stopping their fake fight. Both were breathing heavily, even if it was fake, it was hard work.
Natalie nodded, "Yeah, we are." Natalie sat on the ground, catching her breath.
"So what do we do now? After I catch my breath, I'm gonna go play in the dirt. You may want to dirty yourself up a little too. And for my bruises," Natalie pulled a little jar out of her pocket, "I have some fake blood."
Maylu looked at the contents of the jar, "Vaseline and red food coloring? Do you have any tissue?"
"In my other pocket." Natalie pulled out some pieces of tissue and set them on the side walk. She scooped up a handful of dirt and threw it at her clothes. In a matter of minutes she looked like she had rolled in the dirt. She then tore up some pieces of the tissue and placing it in various places over her face and arms. She gave Maylu a tongue depressor, "Can you put the blood on, please?"
Maylu nodded laughing, "Yeah." Maylu spread the Vaseline and red food coloring mixture on top of the tissue to form bloody scrapes. It would actually look kind real, when she sent a picture with Natalie's camera phone.
"I'm ready for my picture!" Natalie said, giggling. Maylu took a picture of Natalie lying on the ground with her cuts and bruises showing. As soon as the picture was sent, she called Dex's cell phone.
With Lan and Dex
In the middle of chasing after Lan, Dex phone began going off. The words 'One New Picture' flashed across the screen. He came to a halt in his chase to look at the picture. He saw Natalie lying on the ground beat up and dirty.
"I didn't know Maylu could fight...She's so feisty." His phone began to ring. He gave chase again, but still answered his phone.
"Hello?"
"Dex, leave me and Lan alone."
"Maylu! Hi! How are you?"
"Pissed off. Leave us alone, Dex! I already have Natalie down and if you keep messing with us, I'm gonna take you down too."
"Feisty...I like that."
"Dex!"
"If you wanna fight, come on."
"I'll be there!"
"We'll be at the old N1 Grand Prix building."
"I'm bringing Natalie."
"Whatever. Bye Maylu." And he hung his phone up. Dex looked forward and saw Lan far ahead of him. But he knew where he was going, so it didn't matter.
"Lan!" Dex cried, pulling his scooter out. (LOL!! You'd think because he was a bad guy, he'd have something a little nicer.) Dex hopped on and chased Lan at a quicker pace. Lan looked behind him and saw Dex coming after him on a scooter. He pressed the button on his shoes and his skates came out.
"You can't catch me!" Lan cried, skating backwards and sticking his tongue out at Dex.
"We'll see about that!" Dex yelled back, speeding up. Lan turned back around and skated faster.
With Maylu and Natalie
"Nat, we have to get to the N1 building pronto." Maylu said, handing Natalie her cell phone back.
"But how?"
"Let me see that phone again." Maylu asked, holding her hand out. Natalie handed her the cell phone back and watched as she dialed a number.
"Who are you calling?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.....It's ringing." Maylu replied, with a smile on her face. "Hello? Yai, I need to ask a favor. How fast can you get to the park? In 2 minutes? Good. See you then." Maylu hung up the phone and gave it back to Natalie. "We have our ride. Now all we have to do is wait."
"Cool!"
A honking horn was heard and Maylu looked up to see a pink limo pull up,"Gylde miscalculated the time it would take to get here. Sorry. You ready to go?" Yai yelled out of the window.
"Yes. Of course. Come on, Natalie." Maylu got in the limo and slid over so Natalie could get in as well.
"Hi Natalie!" Yai said, smiling.
"Hey Yai."
"So where are we taking you two?"
"To the old N1 area."
"What are you going there for?" Came a voice from beside Yai. Lying out on the bench that Yai was sitting on, Maylu didn't notice Chaud until he had said something.
"Chaud?! What are you doing here?" Maylu asked, surprised to see him.
"Spending time with his favorite girlfriend, if course." Yai said, smiling at him. Chaud smirked back.
"I'm going because Dex is trying to fight Lan, and I don't want him to get hurt."
"Lan can fight." Chaud said, as if that made all the difference in the world.
"But Dex has a gun."
"That changes things then. Driver, speed up!" Yai yelled through the little window.
With Dex and Lan
They had finally gotten to the large area before the fallen bridge. Lan spun around and came to halt in the center. It was a huge circle and Lan stood in the middle. He changed his skates back to shoes and stood, waiting for Dex.
"So you finally stopped running." Dex said, throwing his scooter on the ground. Lan just stood his ground. Dex walked forward until he was about ten feet directly in front of him. He drew out his gun and pointed it at Lan.
"So your gonna shoot me?" Lan asked, staring at the silver gun. The sun gleamed off the silver of the gun, making Lan take a deep breath.
"That's what I planned on doing. And after I kill you, I'm gonna kill Natalie. That way, no one can stand in the way of my relationship with Maylu. They'll all be dead."
"Why would you kill her? Natalie loves you!"
"That's exactly why she has to die. She'd get in the way of Maylu and me."
"How?"
"She'd get jealous and try to hurt Maylu."
"Isn't that what you were trying to do?"
"No, I only put her in danger because I wanted you to have to feel pain and worry. If she was with me, none of this would have happened." Dex said, still pointing the gun at Lan. A car pulled up and Lan watched as Maylu jumped out of the limo and ran to him.
"Lan!" Maylu cried, hugging him as tightly as she could. "You're alive!"
"But I may not be for long." Lan whispered, causing Maylu to look up. She gave a gasp when she saw Dex with a gun pointed at them both.
"Dex, what are you doing!" Yai cried, from the limo, she had gotten out and Chaud was standing in front of her, protectively.
"I getting my Maylu back!" He yelled, glancing over at Yai then back to Lan and Maylu.
"I'm not yours!"
"When I get rid of Lan, you will be!"
"Dex, stop this! You're scaring me!" Yai cried, still watching.
"No, I'm not stopping anything. Maylu's mine. I've loved her longer then Lan, I can love her better then Lan too! But I can't do that if Lan's still here!" Dex said, his anger making his voice shake.
"Why won't you just let me be happy? If you love me so much, that should be all that matters!" Maylu cried, tears forming in her eyes.
"No, what matters is that we're happy together! Not apart!" Dex replied, his face going red.
"Dex put the gun down." Natalie said, stepping out of the limo and walking forward. She stopped when he turned and pointed the gun at her.
"You! What are you doing here?"
"Dex, we've lost. Just let them go."
"No!" Dex turned and before anyone knew what happened, he fired at Natalie. The entire group watched in shock as Natalie fell to her knees, with her eyes wide. She fell to the ground and blood began to seep out of her.
"NATALIE!!" Maylu screamed, tears streaming down her face.
Yai started to cry as well, "I can't believe he shot her. I can't believe it..."
"Look what you made me do, Natalie! Look!" Dex yelled at her body. Natalie didn't move as Dex yelled at her.
"Dex, you've killed one person now. How does it make you feel?" Lan asked, watching the crying Maylu. Yai looked up, she heard sirens. Down the street came about three cop cars, sirens blaring and lights flashing. Dex turned around, hearing them as well. He turned back around, aiming the gun at Lan.
"I'm going to kill you now." Dex said, taking a step closer. Lan took a step back and this action continued until Lan was right against the edge. The bridge was gone, so Lan knew if he fell he was dead. Dex was only 5 feet away from him when he fired. As soon as Dex shot, Maylu ran forward as quickly as she could. She slid to the ground and reached her hand over the edge, stopping herself before she herself fell.
"You are not gonna die on me today, Lan!" Maylu yelled, reaching over and grabbing his hand before he fell out of her reach. Lan caught it and his weight almost made Maylu fall down with him. The sirens got louder and Maylu knew the police had gotten there.
"When this is over, you need to go on a diet." Maylu said, reaching her other hand down, so she could hold on to both of his. They laughed together despite the situation. Yai and Chaud ran over to them, while Dex debated what he should do.
"Maylu, hold on!" Yai cried, sliding on her stomach and reaching her hands down to help. Chaud wrapped his hands around her waist and together the three pulled Lan up.
"Oh Lan, don't you ever do something crazy like that again!" Maylu cried, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him all over his face. Lan laughed and hugged Maylu back. The police got out of their cars and stood in a formation behind the door.
"PUT THE GUN DOWN!" A cop said into his car intercom. Dex looked like a frightened child, who had just go caught doing something he wasn't supposed to.
"No..." He said, quietly. His eyes got wider, like he just realized what he was doing. Tears began to form in his eyes and he started to cry.
"Please Dex, don't do this. Put the gun down." One of the cops, who knew him said.
"NO!"
"Dex, please." Maylu said, hoping he'd listen to her.
"NO! I WILL NOT PUT THE GUN DOWN AND I WILL NOT GO WITH YOU!! NO!!" Dex cried, scaring the heck out of everyone.
"I think he's going crazy." Chaud said, watching as Dex shook his head.
"Dex, please!" Yai said, praying he'd stop what he was doing.
"NO!! I'll die first!"
"Dex, don't talk like that!" Lan cried, knowing Dex had lost his mind.
"I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL!! AND I WON'T PUT THE GUN DOWN!" Dex cried, putting the gun to his head. He turned to Maylu and smiled at her, "I love you, Maylu. Please don't hate me." He gave her one final smile......and shot himself in the head. Blood and guts spilled everywhere, causing Maylu to vomit. She leaned over the edge and started to throw up. Yai started to sob and Maylu soon after she got over the feeling of sickness that arose in her stomach. The police stepped away from their car door to examine the bodies on the ground.
"Are you kids involved in this?" A cop said, grimly.
They all nodded.
"Well I have something to tell you about your female friend..." He said, putting his head down.
