Chapter 7

Natasha awoke as soon as the battle began. Sensing Midnight was in danger, she ran to his location, using only his aura as her guide. Soon, she realized his aura was dimming. Worried, she began to manipulate her aura to increase her speed, but as she grew nearer, she recognized the aura of two others; the first was Flare's, but the other made her furious.

"I expected her to be part of the problem, but him!" Natasha said to herself. "I never thought he would ever show his face in this forest again!"

Immediately after uttering these words, she arrived at the scene of the battle. What she saw replaced her anger with sorrow: under the Mightyena's glare laid Midnight, beaten.

"…I'm also the one who's going to kick your tail!" Midnight yelled. Midnight started off with Aura Sphere which the Mightyena hit back with an Iron Tail. Midnight swiftly dodged the attack and began to form another aura sphere, but the Mightyena stopped him mid-attack by using Mimic, launching a duplicate aura sphere at it, causing it to explode in his grasp. Midnight was thrown backwards by the explosion but managed to get up, but when he did, the Mightyena used Iron Tail, thus knocking Midnight unconscious.

Rage then mixed with Natasha's sorrow. She then ran over to the Mightyena, kicked him in the jaw, and used Force Palm on him, sending him flying into a tree, thus snapping his neck. Natasha's anger then subsided and knelt down next to Midnight and started to cry. After a few minutes, she turned to Flare.

"Flare!" she yelled. "This is entirely your fault! He was already upset enough about never being able to go back to his family, but that wasn't enough for you"

Flare was stunned. "What have I done? Midnight, I'm s-" she stopped, thinking about how Midnight had begged for her forgiveness before she had cursed him. "No, Midnight, I forgive you. Can you ever forgive me?" Flare turned and started to walk off when Natasha gasped. She looked back to find Midnight struggling to get back up.

"I already have," he said before the pain off his injuries forced him back into unconsciousness.
