Chapter 17: Breaking Out
Hey guys! Only have 2 chapters left. Wow. I can't believe it's been a year since I started this fanfic. Oh, and one epilogue. Not to mention Fragmented Memories. I also thought about doing a sequel as several people have either Said in the reviews, or have personally PM'd me about it. So this series might or might not be finished after this.
"Crimson!" Tears poured down from Angi's eyes. Crimson almost couldn't stand the sight of this so he wiped the tears away.
"Angi….I can't believe it's you…." Crimsons breath was taken away at the sight of his Jolteon friend. It had been 2 full years since he had seen her. Immediately, he walked up to her cage and wiped away her sorrow. "Angi; we don't have time for this right now," he said sternly, but also with sympathy. "We are being searched for right now, and we need to get everybody out of here!" Crimson was hyperventilating. One, because he was worried he and Angi would be captured again, and two, he was in intense pain from the battle that insued. Blood was leaking from his wound onto the floor, and each drip echoed throughout the room. He put his claws in the cage's locks to jimmy them open and in the next instant they dropped to the floor. Everybody climbed out of their respective cages,(except Soul) and met up outside of Soul's cage.
"I got Soul guys…" Luke gritted as he grabbed Souls lifeless body. Obviously from the strain he was putting on his body. Lifeless and limp. Soul still dared to move. No one knew what to do about him. Crimson looked for another way out, but only spotted a vent cover that was loosely held on.
"Look for another way out. So far I've only found a loose vent cover." Crimson told the group as he wiped the drying blood off of his arm. "In the mean time," he continued." I will try to get this cover off of the vent. And…." cut off by the sound of rapid footsteps coming down the war rigged hall. And they were coming towards his direction. No doubt they were trying to find him and eliminate.
Spirits P.O.V
Like stampeding dodrios, they were going so fast I'm surprised that a cloud of smoke didn't happen. Crimson was slashing at the only found method of escape while we were trying to find another one. We could use the door, but at the risk of being spotted. We could just bolt for it, but with all the injuries it wouldn't work. "David; can I talk to you for a minute?" David heard me and started to saunter over. His face calm, but on the inside I could feel his anxiety.
"Yeah? What's up?" Voice sounded worried and stern. His only concern was to get all of us out of here. "Do you think we can trust this Zoroark? We only just met him. Same with Angi, I only just met her and she seems way to eager to help us. Don't you think?" My voice lowered a few octives so the duo couldn't hear what we had to say. "Yeah, I think it's a bit too odd….. but we need them so they can help us escape. We wouldn't be able to do it with everybody's condition. So I see where your going with this, but this isn't the time to worry abou-" The door pounding and rustiling cut David off as he shot back a few feet, ready to fight anyone or anything that came in. Time froze as the door fell to the ground with brute force. Members of rocket burst into the room with weapons ready to tame us at a moments notice. David then curled his tail around me and snarled at the men. Crimson was still working on the vent since no one could see him and Luke. We stood there for almost a minute staring into the eyes of the group of rocket members. White lights filled up the room as several Pokémon were brought out by the grunts. All in all, there was a Arcanine, a Ratticate, a Golbat, and an Blastoise. Coming up to us, they began to say something.
"This can go the easy way, were you surrender and no one gets hurt. Or you can continue to fight and die trying to escape." The Arcanine coldly spoke as fumes came out of his nose.
"Which is it going to be?" Golbat asked. Only the clock could be heard as the seconds went by without an answer. David tilted his head to crack it, then returned to normal position.
"And what if I say no to you? What are you gonna do about it then?" You don't have any chance of stopping u-" David was cut off as the blastoise bashed him into the wall at full force. They were enjoying this, I could tell because the friends were giggling as blood dripped down from Davids mouth.
"Get off of me!" David furiously screamed as he dug his paws into the blastoises skull and started tearing at him. All it caused him to do was wince at the pain. Which made me lay out my trump card. Purple shrapnel flew at the blastoise and pierced his arm and immediately relinquished his hold of the arcanine. Seeing his Pokémon seething in pain, the grunt called back his Pokémon and ran down the hall. It was no fight. And the next second, I was sent flying into a wall from a tackle of the unnamed arcanine. And everything faded to black. No 3.
David's P.O.V
"Spirit!" There was no time to react as she slammed into the cold steel wall, her limp body sprawled across the floor. Regret grew within me like a budding flower. Had I not been so careless, she wouldn't have had to stop that Blastoise from nearly killing me, I could feel my senses heighten to their peek. Each move I made torwards them it only made me angrier. "You know, you have really pissed me off. First off, you challenge us to an unfair fight, then you knock out my only ally and try to attack me. You've really passed the line guys." Their stance didn't change, their eyes set onto me. Target locked, I whispered to myself. I'm gonna kill them if it's the last thing I ever do. "Jenny, if anything happens to me, take Spirit and run as fast as you can with Cinnamon and the others." Jenny happily obliged and picked Spirit up like a kit. "Now which one of you guys wants to bite me first? I'm open." My cocky additude getting to me, left me blind to the charging ratticate.
"I wouldn't be so wise if I were you" The ratticate spoke, "We're pretty capable of knocking you down a few pegs if that's what you want." Leaving himself open to an attack, I quickly sweep his feet and pin him. "I'm pretty sure you guys could if you didn't leave yourself open." I immediately target his neck. Putting pressure on it, doing just enough to leave him unconscious. "That all you guys got? I'm starting to like my odds now. A 2V1." Little did I realize that Golbat was above me covering all my options as the now furious Arcanine was closing me in with a flamethrower. Jumping back, I tripped and landed on a cut pipe. Piercing my side and blood was now leaking out of me. Wow, that hurt so much! I clenched my teeth and pretended not to be hurt.
"Next time don't be so cocky. Maybe you'll realize a decoy when you see one. The whole entire point of that was to cover your back. Maybe we didn't think you'd knock one of us out, but it had to be done." Speaking with the flames coming out of his mouth, he still came torwards me as fast as a Rapidash. "You guys are sick if you would do that to a friend." Ducking under the approach of the clumsy Arcanine and thwarting the Golbats options. "What you don't realize is…" slowly shaking his fur to get the dust off, he continued his monologue,"We aren't normal Pokémon. We were raised here, and we don't feel the compassion that you guys do. That's what makes you weak. In here, we don't have names. I've only known these guys for as long as we've known each other. This Golbat over here has only just been trained in exit covering and containment. I don't know what type of training that blastoise was given, if I had to guess for that idiotic move, I would have to say a tank. Ratticate was a rush down man, trying to open up an option. And I'm the one that eradicates the threat at hand." He was speaking the truth. I saw the determination in his eyes. They were so cold for a fire type. Even an Ice type has a warmer hear than he does. "You guys are even sicker than I thought."
"Got it! The vents open!" Crimson shouted to me.
"David! Come on! We need to go!" Jenny cried for me, trying to capture my attention. But I wouldn't go. Keeping these fools off of them was my only concern.
"David! Instead of focusing on them, how about we get out of here instead?!" Cinnamon now following in the footsteps of Jenny. Funny, it was usually Luke taking the risk of doing crap like this. I laughed at the fact. But now I'm the one taking this huge risk trying to protect everyone.
"David! Get your scrawny self over here and escape with us!" Luke wasn't kidding. He would drag me even with his wounded arm to get us out of there.
"Nah. I'm gonna have to deal with these guys one way or another. You guys head on, I'll hold them off as long as I can!" The Golbat flew torwards the vent but was stopped when I shot him down with an ember. "Go now! And Jenny," she turned around and revealed the tear dripping from her eye. "Don't you ever forget that I love you." My heart stopped as she welled up. "Cinnamon, do me a favor and get her out of here. She doesn't need to be here. Now!" My voice shaking the room. Cinnamon nodded and got everyone out of there as quickly as she could. Just to be sure they dont come back, I dead the vent shut with my flamethrower once more. Not even Luke would be able to bust it open. So that it. I've made my choice to fend them off. Fine by me. I probably wouldve bled out on the way home anyway. I checked my cut and was still bleeding a river.
"Well then, come on! I haven't got all day! Pretty sure I can…" pain shot through me like a bullet as the Golbats fangs dug into my neck. "Aghhhh! So… this is how I'm gonna die?" I asked my self as I slammed the Golbat on the ground with all the force I could muster. There was no way he wasn't at least getting out of here with a few broken bones. But by the looks of it, he's dead. My eyes faded before me. That poison was stronger than a Golbats should be.
"Feeling woozy? Well our Golbats are bonded with AKOS. It's enough to knock out a Pokémon of your stature, but his blood was infused with it. So the toxin and AKOS are going to stop your heart before you know it. That's a very noble and stupid thing you did. But I can't help but ask why?" He was serious. He couldn't fathom why I would do it. "Well, when you have friends, you would do anything for them. Even if it means laying your life on the line and dying for them. And they would return the favor. That's what you don't know. You would need a friend to understand." I was coughing up my own blood and I was seconds away from death. "If you do encounter that Ninetails again, do tell her I love her. Please don't hurt her…." my voice gave out as I slowly passed. The last things I heard were, "You have my word. I respect you…."
Well…. that was sad. I really liked David. Anyways, sorry it's been so long since I actually updated. And I don't mean a random authors note. I will be taking those down soon, and as for the OC enter, nobody replied. So no new characters next chapter. And as for David, he is dead. No comebacks in this book. No magic revives. He's gone for good. Tell me what you thought of this chapter and if I should give David a send away story! (Mini Story) And no I don't mean a Fragmented Memories passage. Anyways, be sure to check out my two youtube channels, SiLVeR2420 for Nightcores and music related stuff, SiLVeR Coin Gaming for any game related stuff and vlogs, and finally, check out Dylbreaker. He's a really cool let's player that's underrated. I contacted him and pretty soon I should have a new intro. Toodles guys!
