Me: I changed the first chapter. Now I think it'll make more sense for the end of this chapter and the next one.

Drew: ...because you don't have any sense of organization...

Me: Shut up or I'll make you get hurt even more.

May: Watereevee doesn't own pokemon!

"Max..." May whispered.

"You!" shouted Giovanni as he staggered to his feet. Max glared at him silently. Giovanni shook his head as if clearing his thoughts. "That doesn't have any bearing on what we're doing now. Anyhow, if you came here to stop me, you have to come at me at full power not like a child...Eroe." Max's glare intensified.

"I'm not Eroe! My name is Max!" he shouted angrily as he sent a burst of blazing flames at the boss. Giovanni nimbly dodged it and sent a barrage of steel at Max- but a wall of flames stopped their path. May had unconciously raised the wall and was even more exhausted when she lowered it.

"Safeguard!" commanded Max and ran over to May. "What?" May are you ok!?" May held even tightly to Drew's arm, her face tired and exhausted.

"She's fine. May's a bit exhausted from overheating." explained Drew.

"Who are you?" asked Max suspiciously.

"Drew." A crash suddenly came from outside the door. Drew gently sat May on the floor and threw open the doors. May shot up at the scene. The cavernous hall leading to Giovanni's office was sparsely populated by unconscious men and women dressed in black. In the middle, close to the large doors were two teenagers side by side.

The boy took off his hat, revealing his raven coloured hair. He turned around just as his pikachu electrified a rocket trying to hurt its trainer.

"Ash?!"

"Oh, hi Drew. How ar-"

"Now's not the time!" interrupted Misty, pushing Ash aside. Her gyarados shot a Hydro Pump at some rockets running toward them and Pikachu finished up with a Thunder.

"Awesome combo guys!" Misty groaned.

"Ash!" yelled Misty, sending him an exasperated look. " Anyway, before Ash speaks again, Drew. Just so you know, me and Ash will be taking care of all reinforcements. But the hardest job will be left to you guys. But you have help right? Four sages and our leader." Drew nodded in relief. Reinforcements would be taken care of. Before turning away again Misty flashed a grin and a peace sign.

"Drew! The safeguard's about to drop!" called May warningly. Drew closed the doors keeping safe the thought that his friends would be just fine. When did he have friends? Drew sighed happily and strode toward the siblings.

As Drew walked toward them, May turned to Max and nodded. The transparent dome-like protection dropped and the siblings sprung into action. Two shards came rushing toward each of them and they separated into two different directions.

May lost hers and suddenly tripped over a piece of rubble. When May tried to move her ankle, a stab of pain caused her to stop. She closed her eyes, sensing the shard coming straight at her. Her life was almost over, she could tell.

Thanks for everything…she thought. The pain that May expected to come never came.

She opened her eyes to see the shard chasing fly past, stained with blood. It stabbed itself into a wall and someone collapsed behind her and she turned around to see. Her eyes widened and started filling up with tears.

"Drew?" she asked quietly.

The boy was lying on the floor, the side of his shirt ripped and red. It was slowly dripping blood onto the floor and was quickly forming a puddle- the shard had pierced him instead.

"No…NO!" She cried and dropped in front of Drew. She didn't care anymore that her guard was down. She only knew that Drew was hurt and that was her only thought. Drew sighed and turned to face May. He lifted a hand and wiped away a tear.

"…what are you crying about this time?"

" I thought you were dead!" Drew was quiet.

"You know? I've got …something I've been wanting to tell you for a while…come closer."

"Huh?"

"Just do it." May did what Drew asked. "Closer." May went closer, waiting for some drastic secret, like why he had matching hair and eyes. Wait. What if he was going to tell me he hates me! For some reason that thought for some reason tore her apart. They were close enough that she could feel his shallow breaths on her face. The next second, his soft lips quickly caught her by surprise.

A sharp blush pierced her face as Drew pulled away. He put his head down and closed his eyes. His chest seemed to rising even slower.

"Drew! No! You can't sleep!" cried May. Drew groaned.

"…Mom just let me sleep a little longer…"

"Drew! I am not your mother! Wake up!" A purple lining surrounded Drew's body as he was lifted into the air. "Huh?" May looked up to see a girl looking at softly at May.

"May, he's going to be just fine," comforted Dawn, "either way you should be helping your brother."

"Eh?" May looked up to see Max controlling her blaziken, which apparently had released itself, to use protect. May rubbed her face and smiled at Dawn. "Thanks." May was fueled by the fact that Drew was there for her and will always be. She couldn't get hurt anymore, or else Drew's sacrifice would have been in vain. And she didn't want him to cause him any more pain.

May got up and ran to Max; he grinned at her.

"You done playing with your boyfriend yet?" May blushed.

"Shut up Max."

"I'm going to ignore that rude comment," Max turned his head toward Giovanni, who was slightly smirking, "we have to take care of him now." He closed his eyes and shook his head quietly. May wondered what was up. She had never seen him like this. She shook free of the thought and looked back one last time at Drew.

He was sitting against the wall, his eyes tired from the injury. The wound was bandaged up by strips of black cloth. Despite Dawn and Espeon's efforts, blood was staining the cloth. May felt a stab of guilt; this was her fault. Drew caught her eyes gave her a smile as if saying it's ok. May turned away to her new opponent.

I gaze at my sister. It has been so long since I have seen her, ever since… I don't want to go back. Our parents were killed and so were so many of our childhood friends.

May seems to be releasing a soft, kind aura ever since that Drew guy kissed her. But once you look inside her eyes you can see fire being reflected, although there is nothing to be reflected from. I close my eyes. When should I tell May that….I can't think about that. I don't want to use the promise we made for this. But I have to…

I shake my head clear and focus when May commands Blaziken to lower the protect. I shoot forward, knowing that only the promise we made will work.

Drew watched the two siblings attack quickly at Giovanni and felt a stab of concern for the older one. May. She may be better known as the fire sage, but she would always be May to him. Sweet, innocent, brave May. He smiled at the thought just as a new stab of pain washed through him. Everything went black.

When Drew awoke, he wasn't in Giovanni's ruined office anymore. A chestnut-haired man sat cross-legged on the floor. Somehow casting a white shadow on the dark floor.

Drew looked around the room. Actually, it wouldn't be called a room. It was completely dark and the only things that seemed solid were the floor, him, and the man.

"Ah. Drew," said the man when her finally noticed Drew.

"How do you know my name?" asked Drew suspiciously. The man smiled.

"The name's Kyle. I was the last ground sage."

Me: I'm done again! This story will end in the next three chapters probably.

May: Yeah.

Drew:……………………………

Me: Review!
