Now, on with the show!
"Gosh darn it May. Wake up! May! Come on! This is ridiculous!"
May groaned as her eyes fluttered open, expecting the mourning light but instead, it was still dark as the night. Drew sat directly in front of her, a little too close for her comfort but too tired to really register it. She sat up and yawned, looking lazily around her.
"What-? What did you wake me up for... and what time is it?" May asked grumpily, as she rubbed her eyes that were trying to get adjusted to the light.
"That doesn't matter right now. We can't find Ash." Drew snapped and stood up, extremely cranky.
"He's probably in the bathroom, or just getting another midnight snack." Max yawned, also just arising.
Joy looked at Drew, slightly scared but determined. "No, I'm afraid he's in trouble somewhere. I heard a scream."
"We're splitting into search parties to find him quicker. May, Drew you take the northern part of the palace. And me, Joy and Max will take the southern part. Got it?" Brock asked, handing Drew a lantern with a small quivering, lit candle.
"Yeah. Come on May... May? Aw, damn it May!" May, after realizing what the fuss was all about, had laid back down, closed her eyes and had drifted over back to sleep, back into her dream world.
"You want me to help, Drew?" Max asked, looking over at his sister with distaste. Drew sighed, shook his head and half-grinned.
"No, I got it. Thanks Max." Max shrugged before running off to go catch up with Brock and Joy.
"Alright, May. No more mister nice guy." He looked around the room, trying to spot something to get little "Sleeping Beauty" up and to stay up. Then, he spotted the perfect thing and picked up the bucket full of water that Max had brought earlier. He looked down into it, and swished the water around. After a moment of silence he pitched the whole bucket on her. She woke up with a start and screamed after realizing what happened. She glared over at Drew as hard as she could muster but the dripping wet hair that hung in her face took out the effect.
Drew, on the other hand, was laughing. "That worked better than I thought... Are you awake yet?"
"Yes, and freezing cold now to thanks to you, Drew." May spat angrily, glaring up at him as he flipped his hair.
"My pleasure, now lets go." She groaned as she shivered. May stood up and rung out her hair, before reaching down and grabbing her blanket to wrap around her freezing body. To her major disappointment, the blanket was as soaking wet as she was, and weighed about a million tons. She gave out a pitied moan.
Drew saw her, and felt slightly guilty. He sighed and grabbed his blanket, and threw it over her head.
"There, now stop complaining and come on. The sooner we find Ash, the sooner you can go back to sleep."
"Oh alright." May grumbled, but her happy expression gave it away, as she gratefully pulled the blanket around her and followed Drew out the door, the opposite direction where Brock and Joy had headed.
-OoO-
In a matter of minutes, they were walking down the dark hall side by side, the candle casting a small amount of light around them. It was cold, dark and scary in May's opinion and she really wanted to get back to bed. But she was thankful that she had Drews company, even if he didn't say much.
"Ash? Ash where are you?" May called softly, readjusting Drew's blanket around herself as she peered into the darkness.
"Come on, lets check in here." Drew said quietly, and ducked into another dark room. They couldn't see a thing in there, and it felt strangely uncomfortable. Drew narrowed his eyes, glaring at the things he couldn't see as May scooted closer to him.
"Drew, something isn't right." It felt like the temperatures dropped thirty degrees, and May thought it was harder to breath.
"Drew-"
"Sh!" He stopped her, holding a hand in the air, as he cautiously continued further into the room. May followed, afraid to keep going but even more scared to stay behind.
"Don't bother hiding. I know your here." A loud, startling voice said and with a snap, their room was flooded with light.
"Not good." Drew growled, as he shield his eyes.
"Look who came to join us." May looked up and only saw one thing. She angrily glared at Ash.
"Ash! We have been looking for you for forever, and Joy was really worried about you?1 What have you got to say for yourself?"
Drew glared back at May. "May, look around you. We're not alone."
Ash was back in his genie appearance, looking disappointed and shameful at himself. The room was full of treasures, piled high up to the ceiling, and lots of pillows. Brandon stood next to Ash, looking quiet proud of himself.
"Brandon?! What's going on?" May cried out, knowing that something bad was going to happen with him there.
Drew narrowed his eyes at Brandon. "I'm surprised you showed your face around these parts, Brandon, after that humiliating defeat last time. What are you planing now?" Drew asked, and flipped his hair.
Brandon let out a laugh. "Oh please, Drew. Don't play cool with me. I can see right through your cool act, you shaking like a leaf over there." Drew stood up and smirked.
"If your trying to intimidate me, don't bother. Come on, spill it. What are you up to?" Drew demanded coolly.
Brandon grinned. "Alright, only because your not going to stick around for too much longer Drew." Drew glared at Brandon, as May did. "I happened to notice that your newly found friend, Ash, seem a little particular. So after further investigating, I found out he was a fraud. Not even a child. But the one thing I was searching for." Here Brandon paused and looked over at Drew. "I'm surprised you didn't catch on sooner. After all, I was the one who prompt your visit with your friend here. It was because of me that you two met."
"You can't fool me, Brandon. A old man lead me to the Cave of Wonders, not you!"
May growled, her fist curling up into balls of rage. "He is a powerful magician, Drew. I wouldn't be surprised if he changed forms. After all, he's almost has had me under a spell twice."
Drew's eye narrowed. "That explains a lot."
Brandon laughed. "I think this has gone on long enough. So, genie, my first wish. Make me the the Sultan so that I may rule this world!" He demanded, as he turned to Ash.
"Ash! Don't do it!" May pleaded as a glint of madness flashed into Brandon's eyes.
"He doesn't have a choice, since I have the lamp, I am his master and he must do what I say!"
"You fifthly, cheating scum! Snap out of it Brandon! What will you achieve by becoming the most high Sultan?!" Drew shouted angrily.
"Well, for one thing," Brandon smirked, turning to May, "I will finally be able to marry her, and she wont be able protest."
"I will never marry you Brandon!" May retorted stubbornly.
"Enough of this! You will make me a Sultan, Genie, and you will marry me, Princess May!"
Drew rolled up the sleeve he didn't have. "Your right, Brandon. This has gone on long enough." But May pulled him back.
"No! Don't do it! He doesn't know what he's doing!" But Ash, after struggling against himself from doing so, reluctantly shot red lighting at Brandon, and with a loud laugh, he was transformed into a Sultan.
"I don' May. It sure doesn't seem that way." Drew said sarcastically, watching Brandon laugh evilly after inspecting his clothes.
"I'm serious! Listen, he's being hypnotized! His eyes matched Brock's, when he was under his spell, perfectly!"
"What!? Are you sure?" Drew asked bewildered, as he looked back at her.
She nodded. "I'm positive. Someones using him, like a puppet for all their dirty work. But I don't know who it is!"
Drew angrily bit his lip. "I guess that means I can't pummel him."
"Genie! My second wish...! Make me, an all powerful sorcerer, the most powerful one in the world!" Brandon shouted gleefully, holding out his arms. Drew's eyes widen as May gasped.
"No Ash!" Ash closed his eyes tight as beads of sweat dripped down his face. He bit his lip in concentration, trying to keep himself from preforming the spell.
"I... can't... stop myself... May... Drew... I'm sorry!!" They watched in horror as Brandon rose in the air, the red light engulfing him. Laughing madly, Brandon took it all in, before dropping back to the ground.
Then, it went dead silent, for a minute he didn't move.
"Bran- Brandon?" At the mention of his name, his head shot up and smirked at the, a mad look in his eye.
"I, Sultan Brandon, am the most powerful ruler in the world!" He flew in the air, his arms outstretched, as power shot out of him in all different directions. The ground underneath them shook violently, along with everything else in the room as vases, treasures and pillows went flying everywhere. May and Drew felt themselves being tossed around as the ground slipped from underneath them, like a rugged being pulled under the feet, and fell on top of each other. Then, just as fast as it started, it settled down; the floor halted from moving and the earthquake passed. Drew helped May up, before getting ready to pounce on Brandon. Ash stood behind Brandon, looking ashamed but not sure how to help. Brandon laughed at Drew.
"You fool! Do you honestly think you can defeat me? I am the all powerful magician and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" With a wave of his hand, Drew was picked up and painfully thrown into the wall.
May let out a scream. "Drew!" He groaned, as he leaned up against the wall, holding his rib. Then he smirked over at Brandon, and flipped his hair.
"I don't care how powerful you are, Brandon. In the end, I'm still going to win. Got it, memorized?" (Author's gag- KH2 Go Axel!) Brandon growled, as Drew was picked up again, and launched into another corner.
"Stop it!" May cried, and picked up a pillow. She threw it as hard as she could at Brandon, but before it could hit him, he raised his other hand, and stopped it. Drew groaned after getting up painfully, and rolled his eyes.
"Way to go May. That pillow defiantly slowed him down. Where would I be without you?" Brandon, looked over at May almost a hurt expression.
"Princess May? I'm only doing whats best for you and me. He's trouble, I'm telling you, and needs to be stopped."
May sent him a desperate look. "Brandon, stop! I know you wouldn't really do this, your being hypnotized and you have to fight it!" Brandon had a astonished look on his face, and looked scared for a minute. But he quickly recovered.
"Trust me, Princess May. No one could control me!" His hand started to glow red, as if on fire, and he face a pile of debree. With a flick on his fingers, the broken glass and splintered wood went racing after Drew. Drew let out a shout and scrambled for cover.
"You could stop this May," Brandon said, turning to a horrified May, "All you have to do is say you will marry me, and then I will spare his life." May stood rooted in the spot as Drew stumbled to the ground, and try to shield himself from sharp broken glass. She was frozen with fear and couldn't move or speak as she watched him get torn up. Brandon smirked in her direction before softly falling back to ground and walking over to Drew. His hand glowed red again, as he pinned Drew up against the wall.
"May! You got to do something! He's going to kill Drew!" Ash shouted, panicking, his arms flailing. May couldn't move, unable to do anything. Brandon approached Drew with a wild look in his eyes.
"You ready to die, Drew?" Drew eye's went wide as Brandon's red hand grasped his neck. Drew gagged, as his eye sight began to fail. "May...!" Drew groaned, as the hold on his neck got tighter. Brandon smirked, as Drew began to cough out blood. It wouldn't be long now...
"Stop!"
Brandon's hand froze, as the red magic slowly died away. Drew fell back to the ground, gasping for air.
"What was that, Princess May? Have you reconsidered?" May bit her lip, as she stood up, and looked down at the ground.
"I'll... I'll do it. I'll marry you, Brandon."
"Excellent!" Brandon cried out, and with a flicked of his hand, May was back in her bridal outfit and the room was decorated exactly as it was before.
"But you have to keep your promise! No more hurting Drew!" May demanded, folding her arms across her chest and glaring at Brandon.
"Of course, Princess! I am a man of my word!" Drew looked over at May, astonished. She was going to marry that jerk, for him? But May, didn't like him! They were rivals, remember? What did it matter to her if he died? Drew shook his head. Whatever the reason, he couldn't let Brandon marry her. He started to charge at him, before he felt himself being lift up and pinned back up against the wall, again. Drew groaned. This whole, hitting the wall thing, was getting old.
"You don't think I would forget about you, would you Drew? After all, your are our guest of honor." Brandon laughed, as Drew struggled against the magician bond that held him to the wall.
"Brandon! What about our deal!" May demanded angrily as Drew groaned.
He shrugged. "It was self defense, my dear May. Now, on to the wedding!" He grabbed her hand, and keeled down. A black ring that had red electricity in it appeared in his hand, and May gulped. That was no ordinary ring.
"May! What are you doing! Don't marry him!" Drew shouted from across the room angrily.
Brandon grinned over at him. "Don't you remember, Drew? She saving your sorry butt!"
"Don't let him put on that ring on May! Do you know what your getting yourself into?! May, are you even listening to me!?" Drew angrily yelled.
Then, slowly, May looked over at Drew. He gasped as he saw a tear trickled down her face. She gulped and gave a small smile. "Think of it this way, Drew. I'll be one last trainer to compete against."
And before he could react, Brandon angrily jammed the ring on her finger. She screamed as his red electricity rocketed through her body, as Drew and Ash watched hopelessly. Finally, after a good 30 seconds passed, the red static stopped and May gave a loud exhausted sigh before falling to her knees.
"May!" Drew yelled, desperately trying to reach her.
And then, the door burst open.
"Its about time, Brock!" Ash shouted, trying to act angry but couldn't hide the grin. Brock, Max and Joy stood at the door, one of them scared, one of the determined and one of them really to kick can.
"Brock! Max! Get May!" Drew shouted from the wall. Joy gasped as she looked at Drew, pinned up against the wall, but Max let out a scream when he saw May. Brandon did a imitation of Drew, and flipped his hair.
"No need for a scream, Maxy. May is just fine." And at the motion of her name, she slowly stood up, her arms swinging around aimlessly in the act. Max let out a sigh of relief, but Drew cut it short.
"Don't be so sure."
"May, darling, how are you feeling?" Brandon asked rubbing the bottom of her chin with his finger. May didn't say a thing, a blank look in her eyes and a tired expression on her face. Drew narrowed his eyes, something wasn't right, but he was too far away to get a good look at her.
"Princess May, will you wed me and become my wife so that we may rule this Kingdom Happily ever after?"
"May! It's me Drew! Don't do it, or I swear you'll regret it! Not only will Brandon make your live miserable, but I will, personally too!" May lifted her head slightly and looked over in Drew's direction.
"Dr-Drew?"
"Come now, dear. Answer my question." Brandon flipped his wrist and more red electricity went rocketing through her body again, and she let out a piercing scream. When it was finished, she leaned on Brandon for support as smoke rose from herself. After a moment of stunned silence May finally spoke.
"Of... course Brandon... I'll... do anything... for Dre- you." Brandon narrowed his eyes at her, then looked over Drew.
"Your becoming a problem. You are no longer invited her Drew." Brock let out a battle cry and ran for Brandon, holding a chair as a lethal weapon. Brandon glared at him, before bringing both arms together and shooting a red stream of power at Brock.
"Brock! No!" Joy cried out, as the red beam collided into Brock's chest and sent him flying back into another chair, whom them came alive and strapped him down. But as Brandon was distracted with Brock, he failed to notice the small figure running at him from behind.
"This is for May!" And before Brandon could react, Max swung the lantern at him like a baseball bat. There was no time for Brandon to dodge it, and it hit him smack in the ribs. It broke the lantern, as it fell to the floor with a clatter but then again, so did Brandon.
"That's it!" Brandon shouted, aggravated and stood up, his fist balled up in rage. Then, as if in a water pulse, Brandon sent waves of his power in all directions. With the building failing apart rapidly, Joy screaming and being flown back into Brock's lap, Max going back and hitting the wall, May not being affected in the least, Ash shielding himself from the strong winds and Drew taking a whole lot of glass damage again (still pinned up on the wall), Brandon turned to Drew his eyes glowing red with rage.
"You have cost more trouble than you are worth. You must be sent far, far away and never come back!" Brandon, using both of his glowing hands, shoved them in front, causing the wall that Drew was attached to to completely break up. The magic holding Drew evaporated and Drew began to fall slowly. At that point, it was then that Drew realized how high they were. The whole palace was floating, above the city, like 45 feet in the air. The sky was black and red, as if a whirlpool and there was flying wood and glass (and pillows. ) swirling around the palace. And then, he heard her scream.
"Drew!!! NO!!!" He looked back in the palace and saw May being electrocuted again and falling back on her knees, weakly.
"May!" Drew tried to reach out to her, as a current of air swept him further away from the castle. He collided with one of the giant pillars the castle had, and hung onto the windowsill for his dear life. He glared at Brandon as he walked to the torn out wall.
"I told you, you wouldn't be able to defeat me, Drew." And with both glowing hands, he lift them in the air then with a wave motion, Drew was hurtled to the end of the Earth, never expected to be seen live out the trip there.
-OoO-
He didn't know how long he had held on to that windowsill, but when he finally crashed into the ground, he was very grateful. However, after a quick look at his surrounds, Drew knew he was as good as dead. He was, what looked like, a mountain. Cold, white fluff as far as the eye could see and it was snowing so hard that he could barely see his hands. The wind was blistering and the temperature bone chilling. Drew, being weary from the long trip to hell, sank to his knees and passed out in the middle of the winter storm.
-OoO-
Uh-Oh. Doesn't look so hot for our hero, people. He better hurry up and get his bum back to the palace though, cause May isn't better off.
I do hope all of you enjoyed this chapter. I am planning to have this story wrapped up in the next chapter, having the total chapters for this story, 12. I just might make thirteen though, if I write an epilogue. I'm just dying to finish one of my stories soon, because I have too many to keep updating! So next time I update, expect it to be the last chapter!
I realized a couple of weeks ago that in all of my stories, every time I had Pikachu in it, I spelled it "Picachu". Oh geeze, I'm such a moron. I apologize if you see any terrible grammar or spelling mistakes. When I finish this, I will go back and fix them all!
Please Review, and much Thanks to those who have been! I just might get 100 reviews before I finish!! That would make me, soo incredibly happy, after all, this was only my third story!!
Until Next Time-
