Songs: The Carpenter and the Dainty Bride- Primus. (Only if you like really weird music)
Now for chapter four…
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Latios was pacing nervously inside a different dimension. Something was terribly wrong. Not even the dolphins, seagulls, or the seals could calm his troubled state of mind.
This was Latios's favorite place to be. Every animal was wild and free, they could not be captured like pokemon. They did not fight for humans, they fought for each other. Why couldn't humans in the pokemon world understand? The only problem with humans on Earth was that…they killed the animals. For food. It was sickening, but Latios couldn't do anything about it.
Latios desperately wanted to talk to Latius and tell her that he felt there was impending doom coming. It felt oddly familiar though…it was like that night when he had woke up because of Annie and Oakley. He was afraid that whatever was coming, it would endanger Latias and Latius…
Then, he felt it begin.
Xx Latios xX
Latios removed the soul's drip from it's holder in the fountain. It was a bit of a struggle to do so, but he managed. The water pouring from the fountain was reduced to a trickle. He looked at the precious jewel and grunted, sticking it in his pocket.
The first part of his mission was completed. Now he just had to get to the museum and deliver the soul's drip to Jasmine. He didn't like the possibility of losing it while he tried to capture Latius.
He turned on his heel and left the garden, heading towards the museum. Nobody paid him any attention. They just suspected that he was just some teenager who had dyed his hair. Except for a certain two people who their stylish sunglasses were really a pair of heat censors.
They could see, among the variations of red heat, the cold blue walking among the humans. One of them jumped out behind Latios and quickly pulled a sack over his head. "Hey! Get off me!" Latios shouted angrily, kicking backwards. Annie fell over on her rump and watched as the Latios pulled the sack from his head. "You!" He hissed.
Annie scratched her head in embarrassment. "Oh! You're Jasmine's Latios! Er…sorry." She apologized, stumbling over her own words. Oakley walked out from her hiding place and helped Annie up. She glared at Latios. "Tell Jasmine to stop stealing our ideas! I know she's just trying to copy us!" She spat.
Latios shrugged carelessly. "She's only succeeding where you failed." He said, drawing out the soul's drip and waving it in their faces. They scowled angrily. "So she's just going to use you to power the machine?" Annie asked.
Latios threw his head back and laughed. "Nah, she loves me too much for that. We're using Latius." He explained, turning on his heel and continuing on to the museum. Annie and Oakly scrambled after him. "But Latius is just an urban legend! Surely they mean to use Latias?" Oakly asked.
Latios quirked an eyebrow. "If you want to watch me bring in Latius to the museum, be my guest. Just don't annoy Jasmine too much, I guarantee she won't be too happy to see you." Latios said, entering the museum.
Jasmine hugged Latios as a reward for bringing the soul's drip successfully, but she scowled angrily when she spotted Annie and Oakly. "What're those two rats doing here?" She asked angrily, looking expectantly at Latios.
"He told us that we could see Latius!" Annie said defiantly, sticking her nose in the air. Jasmine grumbled. "Alright, just don't mess anything up." She snapped, taking the soul's drip and placing it in it's holder on the machine. Annie and Oakly nodded simultaneously in response, going over to the doors and closing them as Latios walked out to go and get Latius.
Xx Latius, Latias, and soon to come, Latios xX
Latius floated over to Latias to comfort her. Truth be told, she was sad about the disappearance of the soul's drip as well. She was able to hold back her tears though, unlike Latias, who was bawling.
"T-they-hic-stole his soul!-hic-" She cried, burying her head in Latius's chest. Latius sighed and patted her on the back. Aside from that sentence, all Latias could manage was hiccups and tears.
If you haven't already noticed because you weren't paying attention, Latius and Latias have just found out that the soul's drip was stolen, and as if Latias wasn't devastated enough, she was about to cry her heart out.
"I know! Isn't it devastating that Latios is going to be helping us control the whole of Alto Mare?" A voice rang out. Latius looked up, and Latias stopped crying to glance around.
"But we can't forget about Latius, oh no, she's helping us too." The mysterious voice said. Latias looked up at Latius, a pleading look in her eyes. Latius looked back down. "Show yourself or get your ass kicked!" Latius cried out, leaving Latias's side and searching for any flicker of movement.
Latios became visible and smiled wickedly, punching Latius full in the face. Latius fell back and held her now throbbing forehead. She shook her head and snarled, turning into a human and hitting Latios with a Psywave.
Latios simply shrugged off the attack and held his fist in the air. The sky above swirled with purple clouds, and a meteor hit Latius, sending her crashing into a tree with a sickening thud.
Latias squeaked and ducked into the water, but Latios didn't pay her any attention. Instead, he walked over to the now unconscious Latius and picked her up, slinging her over his shoulder. Her hair was long and white, and Latios muttered something about her being weird.
Latias poked her head from the surface of the water and watched Latios carried Latius away. She growled and lunged after him, but a silver ninetales was upon her in no time flat. She struggled, and the ninetales snarled viciously. Latias used Dragon pulse, and the ninetales was blown onto the ground. It struggled to get up, but it fell over, obviously unconscious.
Latios was no longer in sight, but Latias had a pretty good idea where they went.
Xx Museum xX
Latios knocked furiously on the door of the machine room, and he shoved Annie and Oakly aside as they peeked through the door to see who it was. Jasmine looked uncertain as he brought in a girl, but she grinned as he lay her down on the platform and the rings responded, floating up and surrounding the unconscious human-Latius with a force-field.
Latius could feel the energy being drained from her, despite the fact that she was unconscious. She was in a void of black, and there was a thumping in the background. It sounded distant, and she realized it was her own heartbeat.
Thud-ump, Thud-ump, Thud-ump, Thud-ump-ump.
It sounded sort of like a song, and Latius started to hum to it.
Hm-hum, Hm-hum, Hm-hum, Hm-hum-hum.
Then she could hear a ticking, and it was so loud, the only way she could hear her own heartbeat was because she was humming it.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
Hm-hum, Hm-hum, Hm-hum, Hm-hum-hum.
Then there was another sound, louder than the ticking.
"Wow, it's really Latius isn't it? See Oakley, she turned back!"
"Ooooo, she looks cool, see Annie, her ears are more rounded, and so are the tips of her wings!"
"Look at her forehead, the triangle is right-side-up, and the triangle on her chest is upside down!"
"Weird, I wonder how she got this way."
"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU TWITS, YOU BOTH HAVE EYES!"
"Sorry Jasmine!"
Latius slowly opened her eyes; she was staring right at a girl with curly blonde hair, and another girl with short purplish hair.
"Jasmine, she woke up!" The blonde shouted towards a girl with long black hair, sitting in a sphere attached to the machine.
"Good." The girl responded, "So Latius, what do you think I should do first?" The girl leaned forward and smiled, tilting her head to the side.
"Um, let me go?" Latius suggested, quirking a brow.
"Um, no?" Jasmine said, laughing at her own lame joke. Latios looked at Latius and smiled. "Why don't you make sure Latias can't get to her?" He suggested, as if it was obvious.
Jasmine nodded and started to control the waters of Alto Mare city, and Latias struggled to get through the raging waters. "Don't worry Latius!" She cried through gasping breaths. "I'm coming!"

Epic.
Sorry if I keep on saying sorry because my chapters are short. I'm sorry.
Wait…did I just say sorry for saying sorry?
Rah, I'm brain-dead now. X.x
