I know this is obviously going to be a short fanfic. There's about…2 chapters left. I'm thinking about making a sequel if I get any reviews to do so.
Songs: Er…lesse, Can Anybody Hear Her- Casting Crowns. That's a good one.
Now for chapter five!

Latias stormed into the museum, she was drenched, and she was tired as well. She wouldn't give up though, no, not on Latius. She banged on the doors of the machine room, and Annie and Oakly struggled to keep them shut.
"You're-grunt-not expecting-huff-not expecting any more-shove-visitors Jazzy?" Annie grunted, leaning all her weight against the door.
Jasmine glared at the thumping doors. "No, Latios, go take care of her." She hissed.
Latios nodded curtly and strode over to the doors, holding them shut. Latias grunted, but the door would no longer budge.
Latius looked up, now unable to float or try to resist the energy-draining force-field. She groaned, her cry high and desperate. Latias heard it through the thick wooden doors and became enraged. She crashed against the hard wood, slightly bruising herself, and Latios staggered backwards from the jolt she had made when her body had collided with the door.
Latias took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in, crying out in rage when she saw Latius lying helplessly. She rushed over to the circling rings and started to smash her body against them. Latius glanced up weakly and sighed, and Latios, recovered from the door incident, rushed over to Latias and restrained her.
Latias cried out and began to struggle, but her efforts to escape Latios's strong grasp were futile. "Watch as she barely hangs by a thread, her energy being slowly sucked away…she won't last much longer, you know." He hissed in her ear.
Latias growled in fury and started to struggle harder, but Latios held on tightly, obviously not hindered by her struggling.
Jasmine appeared to be annoyed of Latias. "Get rid of her, she's bothersome." She muttered, gesturing to Latias with her hand.
Latias trembled and started to whimper as she was pushed towards the ground by Latios. He seemed like he intended to use a powerful attack that in her current state, Latias wouldn't be able to survive.
Latius gasped. "Noooo…" She floated up weakly, using all her strength to remain levitated in the air. She faced Latios, and focused all her energy. The soul's drip started to glow bright white, and Jasmine glanced over at it, then at Latius's now glowing eyes.
Energy started to collect at Latius's mouth, and realization swept over Jasmine.
"LATIOS! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" She cried out, already climbing from the machine, but it was too late.
A large white beam shot out from Latius's mouth, colliding with the force-field and hesitating before it blasted through, shattering the rings and hitting the stunned Latios. He flew backwards and collided with the doors, and Annie and Oakly looked shocked. "Er, Jazzy, we aren't dealing with that thing! Bye!" Annie said, scrambling out the door. Oakley nodded and scrambled out after her.
Jasmine paid them no mind, but instead kneeled over Latios, cradling his head in her arms. "Oh, no…" She whispered, starting to weep. Life was draining from his shattered body, he didn't have much time left.
"Jasmine…" Latios gasped, slitting his dulling ruby eyes so he could look up at her. Jasmine looked back down at him, tears sliding down her cheeks. "Jasmine…I…love…you." He managed in his last shuddering breath. Jasmine cried out. "I know Latios, I love you too…" She said, weeping uncontrollably.
It was unknown whether Latios heard Jasmine's admittance to an illegal lover, for it could be seen in Latios's now pale eyes, that he was dead. Jasmine hugged him tightly to her chest, burying her face in his down. His body faded away, and Jasmine turned her head to Latius, gritting her teeth.
Latius read Jasmine's features quite clearly, and they said, 'impending doom'
She quickly floated over to Latias and helped her up. Latias nodded quickly but pointed to the soul's drip. "Go get it" She said. Latius nodded understandingly and floated over to it, reaching out a paw to take it.
The instant her paw made contact with the glowing soul's drip, however, she was plunged into her subconscious. There was no background, just an empty void of white. Latios looked fainter, like he was dying.
"I gave you all of my energy, so you could save yourself and Latias." He explained, his voice hoarse and weak. "The soul's drip is too corrupted, it can't survive any longer. I wanted to say goodbye."
Latius shook her head, tears starting to well up in her eyes. "I won't be able to see you ever again?" She asked, looking up at him pleadingly.
Latios shook his head. "The soul's drip was my only connection to you, without it, I can't see you." He explained, lowering his head.
"No, Latios, we're always connected. I want to know that our souls are forever intertwined…." Latius's voice started to crack. "I want to know that you love me, like I love you. That we're together no matter what." She broke, and started crying unceasingly.
Latios held her in his arms. "I want you to know that I love you, and that no matter what, you're unique." He said, his voice fading.
Latius was plunged from her subconscious, and underneath the gentle touch of her paw, the soul's drip shattered into incurable fragments.
Latius would probably never see Latios again, but she knew in her heart, he was there no matter what. They were two lovers separated by life and death, but they were two lovers, nevertheless.
