Chapter 16: The Enraging Battle Continues

After that, Midnight's Sky is over sadly. But after that, I don't know what will happen. Maybe a sequel, prequel, side story, or I might just end it. But I might just finish my other stories and stop writing for awhile. don't know; haven't figured it out yet.

"Water washed away the blood from the wounded Zoroarks fur. Eyes staring into Wayne's. Crimson sensed his intent to kill, he needed to finish him off quickly and get out of there. His escape lied beyond the hallway, but Wayne was blocking the pathway to finding his long lost friend. He was tired of this game being repeated over and over. A game of cat and mouse that's never ending. He was the mouse, and Wayne was the cat. Either the mouse triumphs in getting the cheese, or the cat skins the mouse, and swallows him whole, letting the mouse suffocate and die a slow painful death.

"Bring it!" Crimson shouted to the houndoom at the end of the hall, who immediately retaliated with an angry glare with the flames of fury showing.

"Fine! You could've ran away while you had the chance, but you have got to play hero; don't you?!" He used Extremespeed and charged up multiple dark pulses. Crimson nimbly avoided the shots by digging his claws into the drywall and staying right above. "I'd rather die here trying to free my friend than to just run away and let her slowly die in this hell hole. Unlike you I have standards!" Crimson yelled at Wayne. As he got down, his arm was in excruciating pain from hanging on the wall. Crimson didn't have time to check on it though as Wayne was sliding across the wet floor like a slip and slide charging shadow balls and aiming them towards me. "You never give up! Don't you Wayne?!" Slipping on the water with perfect timing as a shadow ball nearly hit him. "I won't give up till you're six feet under!" Wayne snarkily replied to the Zoroark questioning him. At the end of the day, Crimson knew he was right, but he couldn't let him get inside of his head. Narrowly dodging the crunch, he took in his surroundings and noticed a scalpel on the table next to him and grasped it in his hands. Holding on to the foreign blade with all might that was left in his wounded arm. Charging forward at a blistering speed due to extreme speed he was able to knock Wayne off his feet and onto the floor, leading to a follow up. Gashes and wounds appeared as Crimson's night slash hit him square in the chest.

"Is that all you got?!" Gathering himself, he pushed all his weight on Crimson and flipped his position. Gaining the advantage, he quickly pinned him down before he could make any sudden moves. Reaching for the scalpel beside him he dropped, Wayne realized this and kicked it away.

"Don't get any smart ideas now…" his voice was strained. Crimson may be defenseless, but Wayne had almost no energy. Forcing his paws onto his pressure points, Crimson felt himself going slowly to sleep. At the same time, claws were digging into his legs and stomach. New rivers of blood forming by the second. If this kept up, he'd drown in a pool of his own blood.

Crimson P.O.V

"Now….what should I do? I pondered. I could sweep him, but that would require me to grab the scalpel which is all the way over there. Time was running out. Wayne was now bearing his teeth at the pinned Zoroark. What if… no; that wouldn't work. Not to mention the severity of the idea itself. Wayne had left me with no other choice. Teeth bared, I drove them into the leg of Wayne, who responded with a cry of pain. Spitting the fur out of my mouth, (Yuck by the way) I slyly asked a question.

"How's the water doing ya? You don't look too good Wayne. You feeling alright there buddy?" I felt Wayne get up and off of me and slip on the floor. His eyes were complete red if anything now. The choking feeling gone now, I gasped for air still, leaving me open to attack. Realizing this, he tackled me head on. I felt my ribs crack as I flew down the hall and into the wall. Ouch. "Aghhh!" My scream echoing through the drenched hallways. Brushing the rubble off of me, I steadied myself against the wall. I don't know what Wayne's exact feelings were about the situation at hand, but I can tell he was ready to kill. His goal was to rip my throat out and feed it to my friend for that comment. "I've enjoyed the fight Wayne; but it's time to finish it… Don't you think?" Breathing was heavy in the hall. The only thing making noise was the water sprinkling down and hitting the marble floor. Until Wayne decided to break the ice.

"Yeah. It is time to finish it." Wayne chillingly said. Bum rushing the Me into the wall, he gave no openings for me to escape. He kept head butting me, trying to crack my skull open with the force he was using. My head hurt so bad that it even hurt to think. I'd be dead in no time if he kept this up. I bit his neck in hopes that he would loosen his grip, but to no avail. He was gonna see me bleed out if it was the last thing he did. Damn, for a fire type he sure is strong in water. Wait, that gave me an idea. He stopped to push off the dizziness he felt. As he did, I gathered all the water I could in my mouth, and spat it right in his face. Wayne immediately lost his grip and was trying to gain his balance. Never giving him the chance, I put all my strength behind it and unleashed my trump card. False swipe. Not enough to kill him, but enough to where he wouldn't be walking for a while. With such velocity and power behind my swipe, he crashed through the wall and ended up with a broken leg from the rubble crushing his bones. I can tell he was still gonna get up and try to attack me once he's free from the rubble, but for now I'm just going to walk off and find Jenny.

"Next time; just let me pass and we won't have this issue." I said to him as I walked off.

"There the Pokémon is!" Screaming came from the people down the hall, but was silenced as Dr. Wilks barged through. Holding up the gun, I realized he was aiming for me! Bolting down the hall with all the strength I had left, I narrowly avoided the shot. I never figured out what that stuff was. Probably more than a tranquilizer though, as I've seen, it knocks out Pokémon with partial juice of a shot. Something that would hurt to get hit by.

"Come on out and play little Zoroark!" Dr. Wilks commanded. He was mentally disturbed in my opinion. I could ambush him, but I would just get shot at; helping no one in the process. Deciding my best bet was to lose him, I aimed for the shipment area. It was only inches away, but Dr. Wilks goon blocked the door.

"Sorry, not getting in here." Gun at point and loaded. Not an option for me. What am I gonna do now? Thinking to myself, I tried taking in my surroundings, but no option I could find that had no risk. Running away from the door, I had to come up with a plan before I even went near the door. Maybe I could…

Spirits P.O.V

I couldn't believe it. The white vixen, my friend stood before me as I was locked up. Jenny was crying at the sight of Soul, although I can't say as I blame her. I was crying too. "Any idea on how we are getting out of here?" My tone was a little lower than usual, due to Soul's condition at the moment. "Yeah, I've got a plan, but I'm not sure if it will work with all the commotion going on outside the room." Jenny replied with a worried tone, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Even if the plan does work, what's gonna happen with Soul? I mean, we can't carry him even if we wanted to. He'd have a hard time on Davids back, I can't carry him, and neither can you Spirit…. and I don't know if Luke is in good condition. Either way we look at this, any angle we look at this, we have no way to carry him out of here…"

"I'll try carrying him out….. I don't know if I can, but I'll try." Luke stuttered as he held his side from the bruises he received from the Rocket people. "And what about you Angi? Are you coming with us?" Dreading the answer I might receive.

"I have nowhere else to go, so of course I'm coming with you guys. I don't know where I was caught, and besides, everyone I know is probably dead right now." Someone slammed the door open with great force and startled the oncoming party.

"Ugh…. damn they run fast. Jenny! We gotta get outta here! Wait" Crimson squinted his eyes and focused on the Jolteon in the group "is that you Angi?" Shocked that he saw his best friend again.

I decided to end the chapter here, because I couldn't really think of anything to end it with. And know that I'm done with this, I don't know for sure how many chapters there will be. I know for sure there's gonna be at least 4 more. And I've decided on the possibility of 3 endings. It's now a tie between 3 and I need to pick. And I'm taking a break from this point on. By the time I get back in January, I'll have at least two chapters done.
