~ Eevee

I blankly kept my eyes trained onto Sylveon's face. Not even caring when I got his blood all over my paws.

Tears poured down my face. I didn't even try to wipe them away.

The lump in my throat felt tighter than it's ever been before.

I forced myself to accept the truth but I couldn't stop myself from trying to talk to him.

"Sylveon... Please get up...You can't..."

But when I turned him towards me I was then faced with the inevitable.

Blood was coming out of his neck and shoulder. He was not moving at all or breathing.

The waterworks became heavier and were steadily pouring from my face to his.

"He looks so peaceful...And he feels so cold..."

"He won't be missed. Now as I was saying you will share the same fate as him. So prepare to die."

"No he won't..."

"What?"

"He never will be forgotten!! Those that love him will all do their best to preserve his memory!!! Because he will always be one of a kind!!! And I will never forget him and make sure the world never will either!! I promise you Sylveon!!"

I stood up and stared Ryu down. Ignoring my tears as I started clenching my teeth hard and held my fists up.

"Do you plan on fighting me weakling?! Even when I know all your moves you still want to fight me?!"

"Yes! For Sylveon! For me! For Ryu! I will fight!!!"

"Have at me then!!!"

I tackled him as fast and as hard as I could but he easily evaded it and kicked me in the cheek.

I did my best to shrug it off and punched him in the ribs.

"Arrgh!!"

"Not such a 'weakling' am I?"

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!!"

He tries to punch me but dodged with a back flip. Then I tried something I haven't before.

Go from a backflip to a quick front flip, too quick to dodge enabling you to give your opponent a surprise kick.

With a clumsy attempt, I managed to flip back forward and give him a kick to the face.

"Augh!!"

Before I could attack again though, he used the momentum to kick me right in the chest.

"Hurk! Ha! Ah!"

I fell on the floor feeling like I had the wind knocked out of me. I looked up in time to dodge a punch by rolling away to the side.

"Tch! What a smartass!"

"Ugh! Haha... You've seen nothing yet."

My legs felt shaky but I held my ground from where I stood.

But it wasn't strong enough to dodge a blow that sent me flying backwards into a tree. My exhaustion begging to butt in but I did my best to stay awake.

"So weak. Just give up already. You're through."

He grabbed me by the fur and I started to laugh.

"What's so funny?!"

"That you actually fell for it. That's what."

I launched a Sand Attack at him at it hit him right in the eyes. When he dropped me I quickly slid away from him.

"WHERE ARE YOU?! YOU WAIT UNTIL I FIND YOU!!! YOU B*!!! YOU'RE GOING TO WISH YOU NEVER DONE THAT!!"

I watched as he tried his best to wipe the sand away but I knew it would take too long to just wipe it off. Once it hits your eyes, it's lasts for 5 minutes straight because I finally perfected it and I know that he's at a disadvantage know.

He was blindly looking around for me, and to my surprise he started approaching Sylveon.

"This fool isn't dead!! I'll finish him off now!!"

I ran over to Sylveon ready to protect him.

"Get out of the way!!"

"Don't touch him!!"

I held him close trying to protect him from anymore harm.

"NO!!"

"FINE, I'LL KILL YOU BOTH NOW!!"

"RYU DON'T DO THIS!!"

He paused from hitting me with a deadly Karate Chop.

"Listen to me please! Don't do this! Fight back!"

"He can't respond to you. I'm in control remember?"

"I DON'T CARE! RYU PLEASE FIGHT IT!! THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO!! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LET THIS JERK WIN?! OR ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT IT?! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME RYU!!! PLEASE!!"

"I told you he can't-"

The energy on his fist quickly disappeared and he began to clutch his head in pain and let out an earpiercing scream.

"AUGH!!!!!!! EEVEE!!! WHAT'S HAPPENING!!! OWWW!!! AUGH!!!"

"RYU?! KEEP FIGHTING IT YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!! COME ON I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!"

"HEHUH HEHEHEHEHE... I h-h-hurt Sylveon and Eevee? Argh!!! NO YOU LISTEN TO ME!!! I'M IN CHARGE!!!"

Watching them fight for control was painful to watch and I prayed that Ryu would win.

"ARGH!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! I DON'T YOU!!! NEVER AGAIN!!! I WILL NEVER LET TAKE CONTROL AGAIN!!! YOU HEAR ME!!!"

"YOU'LL NEVER STOP ME!!! I AM A PART OF YOU!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOUR FRIENDS RIGHT NOW!!! I TELL YOU WHAT TO DO!!!!! DON'T LISTEN TO THIS B*!!! DO WHAT I SAY NOW!!!"

He aimed a fist towards us and close my eyes instead of casting protect. I know we both could've died...

But the thing is we didn't.

I looked back to see Ryu, whose aura was pouring down from him like blood but was not making a mess.

He looked exhausted but at least he fought it back and won.

"Ryu?"

"Eevee...I hurt you... Argh!! I'm so sorry..."

Ryu fell down his aura fading along with it.

He lay there and stared back at me slowly losing consciousness.

"Ryu..."

"Eevee, I need to tell you..."

"What is it?"

"Thank you for not giving up on me...Hehehe...Umph...Euh...Ugh..."

He fainted before I could say your welcome.
