Before we begin, I want to thank you guys for the support. I am getting some pretty nice reviews from time to time, even if I think that the story is pretty bad myself to be honest. It just feels unstructured and rushed, especially compared to my other storys I did on YouTube. I hope that it will get better and I'm already way happier with the last chapter than I had believed. I also want to reply on one Review. Imanton1: I'm sorry but either I misunderstand your tip with the apostrophes or there's a problem since I am using a German keyboard instead of an English one :/ Because of that I can't do much but to continue like this for now. Sorry again :/.(Editing Spheal is just correcting this mistake in the whole story right now, so new readers won't have the problem) Still, I hope all of you have fun reading another chapter! Serious Reviews are appreciated.

P.S: I wrote a new description for the story if you haven't seen it already.

Chapter 12: The ancient demon

Fate´s POV:

"And that's why I want you to be saved like this… because I don't even deserve to live at all!" That's how Thunder finished his story. As he spoke out these last words, he turned away from me and stared at the wall. "So… just let's get this over with, okay?" It took some time for me to get everything he just told me. Of course, I already knew that he was hiding something and it was pretty obvious that the Slaves of the Darkness would be involved somehow, but what I was told was far behind everything I could've imagined… but I knew he wasn't lying. Everything was just so perfect. Even as Gavin surprised me back then. He did not do anything because he knew that I'd have been told the truth. So, from the very beginning to the very end the one that saved me and that I fell in love with… was the one who created this enemy… "I know that I'm worth nothing myself! If it would not be to fix my own mistakes, I would have ended my life myself long ago! Just… get out of here now. Tell everyone the truth and then flee. So that Darkrai may never find you!" As I heard this, I realised what I had to do!

"No! I won't leave you!" In the blink of a second the Shinx turned to me. "What? What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying to get you going or are you just to stupid to realise?" "Neither of them! I know that you speak the truth. But still… I do not believe that it was your fault." He stared at me, but did not say anything. "You only did all of this back then, because you only knew hate! Darkrai used your condition for his own good. You know… sometimes it's not important if we make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes, but as long as we learn to regret, we can be forgiven. And after all I've experienced in this world, you are more than just regretting it… And too… even if I'd not want to forgive you… I still feel the same than back at the clearing. Even more so. Knowing that you have hidden the truth… not to help yourself, but to not hurt me…"

All the time I was speaking, Thunder just listened. I saw his tears coming back again. "W… why? I just… can't understand you. I lied to you. I hid my secret from everyone, just so no one would punish me for what I did. I don't deserve your mercy!" "Stop lying to yourself Thunder. We both know, you hid the truth to be able to fix your mistakes, not to gain advantage. And I'll rather stay here with you than escaping now, knowing that I'll never see you again!" He still looked at me. I could see many emotions in his view. Confusion, happiness, incomprehension and surprise. For the first time he stopped crying and smiled at me. "You… you really mean it, don't you?" I, too, smiled at him, nodding. "I… I have to tell you something else too… Back at the clearing. Back yesterday. Back, as you told me how you feel… I… I insulted you. I yelled at you. I went away as you wanted to see me the most. I just couldn't tell you the truth back then either. I was not strong enough to tell you about my past…and I was not strong enough to tell you about my feelings either." It now was my turn looking surprised. I already hoped what he wanted to tell me. "Fate… if you still feel the same… I want to be with you for this last days of my life. I want to spend them with you. Because… I, too, love you.

In my frozen state I did not realise what was happening at all, before our lips met for the first time. The next moment I found myself in his arms. I felt a tear touching my back, as he spoke again. "If it just would be a longer time. If there would just be a way to escape together. Finally, being able to think clearly again, I hugged him tightly. I believed, that he was right. Even as he admitted his love to me, it could not last long. Darkrai would be back in only a few days. And as this happens… but as often: Believing is not knowing as I heard another voice talking. "How nice. You finally got yourself a girlfriend boss! Of course, there's a way out of here for the two of you!" I felt Thunder pushing me back quickly, as he heard the, to me unknown, voice. He as blushing bright red. "What the… Evan! What are you doing here?" An Eevee was standing in front of our cell and was smiling amusedly. "Well, I saw what happened and I wanted to get you out of here." As he spoke, I realised the bracelet Eevee wore. It was a bracelet that only rookies of the Slaves get. "Wait! Who are you? Why should you try to save us?" Thunder looked around, seeming a little panicked, as he explained: "That's Evan the Eevee. He is not really a Slave, but I'll explain it as are out of here!"

After the Eevee opened the lock with his key, we went to the entrance of the building. As we reached it, we were already greeted. Not by any Slave, but it still was not a nice surprise. Standing there was Günter, who looked at Thunder with a glare full of hate and disappointment. As Evan saw him, he explained. "Oh, I maybe should've told you… as they guard the dungeon, I needed help to get there. I had to get Günter to help me, but to understand everything… I had to tell him everything too." As Thunder looked at the officer, he seemed pretty intimidated. "You heard what he said, Shinx! For now, we'll get back to your place. And then we'll have a nice little talk! Understood?" My now-boyfriend looked at the ground as he slowly nodded.

It did not take us to long to get back to Thunder's place. The Slaves had not realised our escape yet, because if they did, SD would very likely be waiting here. We all just sat down and Günter went on, piercing Thunder with his glace. "Well, I just want to repeat what I already heard. Thunder, you lied to us as you applied at the police station to get in. You passed us some correct information, but also many false ones, even if you knew they'd be wrong. You kept your secret from us all the time. And, most importantly… YOU just CREATED this freaking group? Are you nuts?!" Thunder just continued to stare at the ground, nodding slowly. Günter seemed to calm down a bit. "Do you even now what you did? As your friend I am disappointed of you. You could've done so much better. As a police officer, I see more than just a criminal sitting here in front of me. And you now what I have to do! If you're lucky, some judges would at least let you stay alive because of your deal with Evan!" He took a deep breath, as he looked at Thunder again. "Tomorrow. 12 pm." Thunder, for the first time, looked up, as Günter went on. Don't believe I'm doing this for your sake! But I know that you want to defeat the Slaves more than anybody else. I'll be back here, tomorrow at 12 pm. If you're still here then, I'll arrest you. Until then, you can do what you want. And you could disappear from here."

Thunder looked at him in disbelief. "Do you mean… you are letting me get away?" "For now! And officially, I am not! You escaped me! Understood? I still am Metro villages Officer! And tomorrow, I'll start to search you, until I find you. I am just giving you a fair chance." It seems like Günter had nothing to say anymore, because he just stood up and wanted to leave. But Thunder stopped him. "Wait! Before you go… many things could happen, and maybe we'll never see again… let me at least tell you everything you need to fight the Slaves now!" Günter turned around again, but he seemed very annoyed. "What do you think we DON'T already know? We know everything we need!" "You don't even now what they're trying to do!" "They want to get revenge, I know!" "And how? Tell me, how do they want to get it?" "…" Günter could not answer this question and so he sat back down. "Thanks! Just let me explain for now. Because, what neither you or Fate know by now is, that their attacks and robberies are just a charade… They are trying to reach a greater goal. They want to summon a long forgotten being from the depths of the void. They want to summon a being named "Shadow Demon"." Günter instantly interrupted him again. "YOU ARE NUTS! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" I was the only one only being able to ask about it. Evan explained it to me. "The Shadow Demon is an old legend. It's told that once, long ago, a being created out of Shadows entered this world. Within a few months, it took everything it wanted to take and destroyed everything else. Thousands of lives were lost. It could only be sealed away by a legendary Pokemon with a special gift. This Pokemon was called Latias. If the Demon would return, the world would start to fall apart, as Latias mysteriously disappeared the same day she sealed the beast away."

Before I could even ask anything, Thunder went on. "That's true. They want to summon this demon again and Darkrai says, he has the power to control it. With it's help, they want to get their revenge." Günter just took a deep breath again and looked out of the window, very likely thinking about what to do. Thunder went on. "There is an old artefact called the "Dark Crystal". It contains half of the demon's power. Latias created it, as she banned him. After the Demon is summoned, he'll have to absorb all of the jewel to become full again." In the blink of an eye, Günter seemed a lot more worried. "And… how do we know that the demon is back. Or if the absorbs the crystal?" Evan explained: "Well, as he begins, we still have some time left. The crystal will be able to contain it's power for at least two weeks if the demon tries to destroy it. It was just built against him. These two weeks can be used, as the world will know about the demon. The legend says "The sky will send a sign to the world"."

Günter just stood up and ran out of the door. The last thing he shouted was something like "Leave now!". Curious why he'd react THAT angry now, I stepped to the window he was looking outside of. Thunder and Evan stepped beside me. And all of us saw the sun shining purple…
