Before I even realize what is happening, Cyrus lets out a scream and lets go of me. I gasp for breath and rub my neck, his tight grip still felt as if he is still holding on to me. I look back and see Tempest there behind me, as if he just bit him. He probably just did.
"Thanks Tempest." I say under my breath. He just looks past me and keeps growling. I look forward and see Serena pointing a gun at us.
"You have to realize, this is the real world, not some stupid fantasy of yours, Raizu." She says to me, in a condescending manner. "You can't just have your little sword to save you. Big boys us guns." She looks at Jolteon specifically. "You say one word to Raizu and the next shot won't be in your leg."
"That… was you Serena?" I say, amazed.
"Yes. You think I'm still on your side?" She laughs at me. "I've been with Sinnoh for quite some time. And with Galactic." She hangs an arm around Cyrus. His cold stare, icy blue-green hair, and white/black uniforms, give him an air of authority.
He turns his head slowly to Serena. "Why is the Jolteon not allowed to speak?"
"Just as you can tell, he can listen." She smiles.
"Ah." He answers, keeping his hands behind his back as he keeps looking forward at me.
"What are you talking about?" I ask, a little confused.
"You'll find out soon enough. But for now, you'll have to come with us Raizu." Cyrus begins walking forward on the cue of Serena's sentence. Jolteon growls, but I unexpectedly return him to my pokéball.
"Serena… if you want this… I'll come with you." I spread my hands out, flat, away from my sides.
"Silly, I don't like you, never did. But you're help would be appreciated." She sighs. "Get it through your head, I don't like you, and I wasn't on your side."
"I don't care. I still like you, and you helped me out before. Now, I'll return the favor. What should I do for you?"
Cyrus turns his head to Serena and makes a smirk. "I like this kid, he's just what we need."
"Oh, don't worry hun, you all need him." She puts the gun to his neck. He's completely stunned, and just freezes. She smiles.
"Serena, how did I know that you were just a double agent on my side?" I say, acting sarcastic so that Cyrus thinks that I was aware of this the entire time.
"Raizu, don't be stupid. I'm not doing this for you. Cyrus has to go now." She keeps the gun to his head as she walks around him, she in front of him now, and shoves the gun in to his fore head, pushing him up and away from us. "There's a small side path, and you know what you have to do. Leave."
"Serena… you always did have odd purposes for what you did. But you must realize, I saw this coming." He looks at her longingly. "Serena…"
"Leave, or I will shoot you and our world will go to hell."
He leaves nearly instantly, something coming in from behind him, and both of them disappearing.
I run up to Serena, grab and hug her. "I've missed you so much."
"Yeah, I missed you too a little. He's horribly cynical, but leaves absolutely no soft spots for people. You do." She winks. "I do like you Raizu, but there's someone else I like more…" She looks past me and I turn around. Everyone has just come down the path, and Dark is leading the way. I'm miffed by her blonde hair as she swiftly walks past me and into Dark's open arms. My jaw drops.
"Hey, I'm not that much older than you or her." He says. He shrugs. "She's also my contact by the way."
