Dog Heavens
Vullen was placed on a bed, where Ninetales, Colleen, and Edward were watching over her as her condition steadily began to improve. Colleen rested her head on top of her daughters and sighed.
"Unforgivable," she said as Edward sat down next to his mate.
"I know…" he said.
Ninetales held onto his sisters paw, stroking it, "Please…"
"Ni...Nin…" stirred Vullen as she tried to wake up. Ninetales and his parents looked at her.
"Vullen?"
Vullen slowly opened her eyes, "Ninetales…I'm...sorry... GRAH!" she gets up and grabs her chest.
Ninetales held her close, "It's okay... It's okay" He nuzzles her.
"Ninetales," Vullen had tears in her eyes, "I'm so sorry… brother," she reached out and hugs him.
"I'm so sorry too, sister," said Ninetales as he hugged her back, "Thank you".
Vullen finishes hugging Ninetales and sees Colleen and Edward, "Mom...dad?"
"Hello daughter," cried Colleen.
"I'm sorry it took so long," cried Edward.
"But," said Vullen, confused, "I thought you were... Dead?"
"We are," said Edward.
"We're angels now," cried Colleen.
"Mom! Dad!" cried Vullen as she hugs them too, Ninetales joining in as well.
"Is this a bad time?" asked Angel Annabelle as she walked inside, "I could wait a while, if you need it".
Ninetales licked Vullen's cheek, "I'm sorry".
"It's okay," said Vullen, "I'm the one who should be sorry. I did try killing you… Oh, Ninetales, I'm sorry!"
"It's all right," Ninetales hugged her close, "I have no grudge against you".
"At least we're a whole family again," cried Colleen.
"Yep," said Edward as he licked his daughter's cheek, "And she'll be happy to know that the family will get bigger. I'm sure you'll be a kind aunt to the children".
"Aunt?" asked Vullen as she turned to Ninetales, who blushed a light red.
"I'm engaged," he said.
"Really? With whom?"
"With me," answered Shaina as she walked into the room.
Vullen looks at Shaina, and then at Ninetales, then smiles, "Lucky Fox!"
Ninetales blushed a deeper shade of red, "Thanks... I think," he then turns to Angel Annabelle, "Um, you wanted to see me?"
"What, oh yes!" said Angel Annabelle as she got back to what she wanted to do, "Well, my counterpart wanted to see you all in her study A.S.A.P."
Ninetales held out her sister's paw, "Feeling okay?"
"Yeah," replied Vullen as she hops out of bed, "Like reborn".
"Shall we get going?" asked Angel Annabelle.
"Yep!" said Ninetales as they all followed her.
Annabelle's Study
Annabelle and Angel Charlie were looking worried when Ninetales and the others entered.
"What's up?" said Ninetales, looking at their worried looks.
"We looked for why Vullen was captured, and…" Annabelle paused.
"What?"
Angel Charlie held an ancient looking book, "This!" He opens it to show that the pages were torn away.
"All the information we needed is gone!" said Annabelle, "Someone came in and took them! Question is, who did it, how, and why".
"This is the only clue," Angel Charlie held up a yellowing piece of paper, the insignia of the two half-circles that resembled a Pokeball crossed with two swords. Ninetales, Edward and Colleen turned pale.
"That's the insignia that Poacher was wearing!" said Shaina, remembering it from Ninetales' memories.
"Exactly! Someone was trying to find Ninetales ever since, but who and why?"
"Me," said Ninetales, growing weak in the legs, " I-I'm causing pain to my family?"
"I'm not saying that, but you are involved in this mystery somehow. We can't really do much from this. We tried to see what the insignia meant, but all we found was torn pages with the words: "Symbol of the El…'". Ninetales lowered his head.
"Ninetales, don't blame yourself for this," assured Angel Annabelle, "It's not your fault".
"Mum and dad were killed," said Ninetales, "Vullen taken by Belladonna... all because of me!"
"Calm down, no one here's blaming you".
"I think we should let his family tell him themselves," said Angel Charlie.
Colleen went and lifted Ninetales' head, "Ninetales, they're right. Your father, sister, and I don't blame you for what happened to all of us. Please, don't be depressed; remember your vow".
"We never knew what was going on, so chin up," said Edward, "Don't blame yourself for these events, their not your doing".
"They're both right," said Vullen, "Belladonna may have taken me, but now…" she licks Ninetales on the cheek, "We're reunited".
Ninetales closes his eyes, "Yeah…"
Unknown Location
The calmness of the forest was interrupted as a big, yellow Pokemon went running through the woods. As it went from the woods to a clearing, the Pokemon was the Legendary Beast Raikou. He was still running as the forest behind him were being chopped out of the way. A green robed figure wielding a giant green sword was catching up to him.
"You think you can escape?!?" shouted the figure, "Pidgeot! Whirlwind!"
A Pidgeot appears in front of Raikou, blowing its giant wings and sending the surprised Legendary Pokemon towards the figure. He swings his sword and knocks out Raikou out with its side. Pidgeot landed next to the figure, a Pokeball with two swords crossing it on its chest.
"Two down and one Suicune to go," he said as he threw a black ring around Raikou's neck. Just then, another figure, red robed this time, appeared by him, an Arcanine behind it.
"Looks like you caught Raikou without too much trouble, huh?" said the red figure, having a feminine voice.
"Anything to keep it from running away," replied the green robed figure as he put his sword away, Raikou getting up as his eyes glowed red, "Raikou, let's go!" He shouted as he hops onto Pidgeot's back. As the figure flies away, Raikou following it, the red figure looked into the horizon and clutched her fist tightly.
"Grr... you may have caught Raikou, but I'll be the one to bring Ultimate his 'key' to the prize. You'll see!" She then hops onto the Arcanine, and with a snap of her fingers and a pointed direction, they raced off and disappeared into the forest.
Eevee: Wow, I can't believe it! Ninetales found his sister and I have my parents again! To end it off, here's Evanescence's song: Bring Me to Life! (plays CD, but only hears the music, no lyrics) Oops… I got the Karaoke version. If you give me a minute, I'll see if I can find…
Vullen (stepping in): Oh here, give me the microphone and start it over again. Next to Linkin Park and Crush 40, this is one of my favorite songs. Hit it! (Eevee plays it agains)
Vullen (singing): How can you see into my eyes like open doors.
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb…
without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home…

Ninetales: All this time I can't believe I couldn't see!
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me!
Vullen: I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

(Music stops playing)
Eevee: Wow! Vullen, I didn't think you could sing so well!
Vullen: Thanks, Eevee… (turns to Ninetales) You weren't so bad, bro.
Ninetales: You're welcome... (Blinks) Hold on... what made me do that?
Eevee: Do what? Sing with your sister the ending song?
Ninetales: Yeah... and coming out with sunglasses?
Eevee: What's wrong with you and sunglasses?
Vullen: Yeah. You look more better with them on, Neo!
Ninetales: Neo... very funny... (Takes them off) That idea suddenly popped into my head for some reason... how did that happen?
Eevee: Um...Magic?
Ninetales: CHARLIE!!!!
Angel Charlie/Charlie: WHAT?!?
Ninetales (Stomping up at Angel Charlie): Did you put something in my head to do a bit of singing.?
Angel Charlie: That wasn't me. I don't manipulate anyone to do anything for my own or another one's fun, other than my counterpart, that is...
Ninetales (Glaring at the other Charlie, flexing his tails)
Charlie: What? I can't do anything like that? I mean, even if I could, I wouldn't do it on to you...
Ninetales: Good point... Who could have done it?
Eevee: I thought you did it by yourself, Ninetales?
Ninetales: I mean... who placed the idea into my head...;
Kristen: (Looking innocent)
Vullen: I don't care who did it or not, at least you did it well. Can't you put it behind you?
Flareon: I know how to fix this... (Stands between Ninetales and Vaporeon) Blubby
Vaporeon: Nice try, Flareon, but I know what your planning to do... (turns head away) It isn't going to work again!
Ninetales: Good work, Vaporeon... not Blubby, Drip or Drippy can make you react anymore, huh?
Vaporeon (biting lip): Yeah...I'm... in... control...
Flareon: Over the sea, let's go Vaporeon... we're blubbing off, blubbing off again
Vaporeon (closing eyes and holding in anger): Can't... let him... get to... me...
Flareon: Abandon ship!!! Blub, blub, blub, blub, blub
Ninetales: He won't fall fo-
Vaporeon (furious): FLAREON!!! (fires Water Gun, full blast at him)
Flareon: (Sides step and water blasts onto Ninetales)
Angel Charlie: Oh boy...
Vaporeon: Oops...
Shaina: 3...
Sasha: 2...
Gerta: 1.
Ninetales: Vaaaaaaaaaaaaappppooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrr... EEEEEEEOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vaporeon: AAAHHHHH!!!!
Vullen: Whoa! He's more scary than me!
(Vaporeon runs away, Ninetales closing in on him)
Angel Charlie: Okay, maybe we should stop here, before Vaporeon becomes nothing but water when Ninetales gets through with him...
Vullen: Good idea...
Eevee: Well, that's it for this one. I can hardly wait to see what's in store for our next adventure! Well, see you all next time!
