Hey Guys, I'm back from the dead...? Yeah, I'll go with that.

Anyways, Welcome back guys to Final Stand

I would of updated yesterday at around 5 am Mtn. Time, but I was tired.

Let's go to the story now instead of me blabbering.

Shorter chapter since I'm tired since it's 5:00 AM once again when I'm writing this, just without the sweets to keep me from being as tired

Akuma's POV

I awoke to the feeling of something pushing against my chest. I looked down to see Kandi, still wrapped in my arms, trying to remove the tiniest of spots where our bodies weren't touching. I chuckled rolling onto my back, allowing the adorable Flareon morph to come with me and land right above me. I gave her a kiss on her forehead then asked "You alright?"

The confused morph looked down at me then realized I had asked a question. "Yeah... I still haven't gotten use to the way I became a morph. At least my parents come to see me. Since I have a feeling you were wondering, since I transformed into a morph, my age transfer from 11 human years to 16, making me more mature. To make me and Cerulean seem our age, Trip being an Alakazam, taught us everything he knew." As Kandi spoke, I noticed tears swelling in her eyes, and felt a few drip onto my shirt. I strengthened my grip on her and brought her into a closer, tighter hug.

Kandi wiped the tears stuck in her eyes off, and continued to say "I had lived here for almost a year now, but have never truly been happy. Then you came along. You were there when I needed somebody most. You helped me with my injuries, let me know I was safe, and stayed with me to comfort me after I broke down..."

I looked up at Kandi and began to say "Don't worry. I'm hopefully not leaving anytime soon. However, I have slightly bad news. When my friend Serin called this morning, he mentioned two things that interested me. For you to understand, I'll tell you what made me a morph." I took a deep breath before continuing to say "Before having the Virus injected into me, I had sacrificed my own life for Serin. We had joined the military straight out of highschool and went to the Orre Region. We trained there for eight months before our first mission. It started with us parachuting into enemy lines, where our team fighting the Maniso, (What I'm calling them xP). As we fought, another Private had been shot so Serin, being our medic, went to work on him. Instead of paying attention to my friend's job, I went to mine. Using the medium amount of training I had received, I started shooting at the enemy trench and bunkers. This continued till I was empty in my SMG, and had a single mag left for my pistol. When reloading my final mag, one of the enemies threw a frag, which landed right next to Serin and the wounded soldier. Instead of diving for cover, leaving the two to die, I picked up the explosive and made my way to the middle of the battle field. As I threw the grenade back at the enemies, it exploded instantly as I released it. I'm not exactly One-Hundred percent sure from here on, but I think I had lost my right arm and leg from the blast. Once the others recovered my body, I'm assuming I lost too much blood from the trip back to the barracks, had the mechanical limbs attached to me physically and mentally, took me to this forest, and finally injected me with morphism."

Kandi kept her eyes on me for the whole story before getting off my body and the bed to stand. She motioned for me to get off the bed as well and go to her. I obliged and went to her after getting off the bed. As I approached her, she brought me into a tight hug and whispered "Thank you for your service. I'm so glad that I got to meet you."

I smiled and returned her hug before releasing to say what I needed to after explaining what happened. "Not to ruin the moment, but Serin told me that he was allowed to become a morph if they found a safer way to transform him and that the military is thinking about bringing me back to them, despite the racist comments I'd get. I told Serin to tell them that I'd only do one type of mission. Stealth. But under only one condition. That I'd always come back her after being done since this is my new home, that you and the others are now my family."

The Flareon kept her eyes locked with mine before pulling me into another tight hug. She started to quietly sob, but managed to croak out "If you do return to your old work, please don't die and always come back. I've actually felt real happiness since I met you."

I nodded and replied "I promise Kandi." I returned her embrace and we held our position for a while, except with me resting my head on her due to the fact that I was about nine or ten inches taller than her. Just as we broke apart in our hug, both our ears perked up at the sound of somebody knocking on the door. "I'll get it." I said before heading to the door.

I opened it to see Trip again, a smile on his face. "So, you managed to calm and down and actually feel joy again? I'm proud of you Akuma, even if you've only been here for a night. Just saying, you were out all day along with Kandi so I got the other to help me build your cabin. At it needs is decorating in the interior, then you can move in to it."

I smiled and replied to the Alakazam, "Thanks man, I owe you and the others a lot for helping me. There anyways to repay you?"

Trip just kept his smile as I heard a voice in my head, "Kandi has fallen for you. You can repay us by showing that you love her also. Your guys feelings for each other hasn't gone unnoticed just to let you know." I smiled and gave a slight nod before asking "Just wondering, while I get the cabin's interior designed and ready, am I aloud to stay here with Kandi to keep her company?"

Trip just chuckled and said "You have my permission since I know Kandi already gave you permission on the first day you were here. I'll be off now, you two go get dinner than you can start the designs. You'll meet the others tomorrow."

I nodded and Kandi and I waved as he left. I looked towards the smiling Flareon morph and asked "So, where do you guys normally go for food? Once we eat, we can come back here, look at the cabin, and started designing."

She gave me an odd look, with a glint of hope in her eyes, and responded "Follow me... And also, what do you mean 'We can start designing'?"

I chuckled at her response and said "What? Is it wrong that I let you help design so it suits both of us? I don't see the problem in it." My flirting didn't go in as subtle as I thought, since her only response was a chuckle, which was followed up by her grabbing a hold of my hand. Without hesitation, I grabbed her hand as we walk, gripping it a little more tightly than I normally would when a thought came to mind. And I thought I'd never find love, that I'd always be single and would be homeless after the military. Boy was I wrong. I found love, and an entire family here. This is where I belong

Kandi and I walked towards an outdoor kitchen, where two fresh Miltank burgers were setting. We let go of each other's hands to grab our food and went to the 'campsite' area, and sat down at one of the tables, on opposite sides as if it were a date. We looked at each other after picking up the burgers and we both seemed to mentally count to three before taking a bite. After eating military food for eight months, this food tasted like perfection. I swallowed the bite to not be impolite, and asked before taking another bite, "Who made these? They taste fucking amazing."

Kandi chuckled at my reaction and replied "Trip. He's the only one here who can actually cook. He's tried teaching us, but none of us have really been interested."

I took these words in before saying "Wait, Trip is the only person here who can cook? I could help with that. While growing up, I always made my own meals at a friend of mine's restaurant due to me being "Kicked" from my family. Since her family let me eat there for free as long as I made it, I managed to pay for everything I owned at the time, which consisted of mainly clothes, and stuff for school. They had offered for me to live with them but I'd decline each time. My reasoning was so that I wouldn't be bothersome for them, so I had gotten use to living on the streets."

Kandi looked at me, concern in here eyes before asking "Not to be rude, but how long were you on the streets, and why did you get kicked out of the family."

I chuckled and said "About ten years. I was kicked out at the age of eight for liking guns, the military, weapons, etc. My family was extremely religious and was against anything considered dangerous. Once they found out, both my parents who were strict as hell, decided to disown me just for that factor."

As I finished my miniature story, I looked at Kandi to see shock covering her face. I tried getting her attention, but it didn't work so I lifted myself from the seat, and over the table. I put my face right in front of hers and stared into her deep, orange eyes, right before pressing my lips against hers. I noticed that she started to actually lean into the kiss after a few moments in. We retracted away from each other, a tiny string a drool still connecting us. I chuckled before wiping it off my face and looked towards Kandi to see her doing the same. "Sorry about that. Didn't know if you'd like it but it seemed to snap you back into reality, from lala land."

She laughed and replied "Yeah, sorry about that. I was just thinking about how you could talk about this so casually?"

I smiled and said "While growing up, I'd get made fun of for being disowned and homeless. After a few years of it happening, I had actually gotten use to it to the point of where it never bothered me. During my junior year of highschool, I had actually made a bet against myself where I said 'I'd most likely never be loved, or have a caring family. No matter where I go, I'll most likely be a lone ranger. No friends, family, nothing.' But that was before I met Serin. After meeting him, we became best buddies and for the last 2 years, we've stuck together, being each other's only friends. When we joined the military, he had gained many friends, while I stayed with him as my only friend. It wasn't until I met you, that I've started thinking I've found a family and friends."

Kandi smiled at the words coming out of my mouth and said, "Thank you, it's been an honor meeting a gentlemen like you. Anyways, since we pretty much know each other's life story now, let's finish eating so we can go to she cabin and started designing."

I nodded and continued eating the heavenly burger. (Note - I'm not religious).

Once we both had finished our food, we took the dirty plates to an area to be washed later tonight and started making our way to the new house. While walking there, we had small talk about what we liked, hobbies etc. Only to stop once we arrived at our destination. In awe, I gasped "Wow... It took less than a day to get this built. Including getting the water and electricity working. I really owe the others now."

Kandi just laughed at my reaction and said "Yeah. You really do."

We stood in front of the cabin, side by side taking in the looks before I sighed. Kandi looked at me in worry before I said, "Kandi, you want to know the reason I want you to help me design the interior?" She nodded so I continued with saying "To put it shorter than what I would normally say, I love you Kandi. I didn't believe in love at first sight until I found you, the night before I came here."

I looked at the gorgeous Flareon morph to my side, to see tears in her eyes. I tilted my head slightly before being pulled into her direction. I looked down at Kandi, her arms wrapped around my torso. I smiled and lowered my head to bring her into a deep kiss. We kept up our kiss for five minutes before pulling apart, to regain breath. Once Kandi had regained her breathe, she said five words that made my heart skip a beat.

"I love you too, Akuma."
