It's incredible to think that we're nearing the end! Two more chapters, and then our special chapter where we leak secrets out to you guys! I can't wait!

But for now, while you wait for that, here! Read this chapter!

My body was weak, but I felt much stronger knowing N was alright. The two of us talked for a while, laughing and enjoying the time we'd never really got to have together.
"You know, I never quite got to meet your sister," N smiled as he said this.
I laughed. "Well, maybe today's the day you finally will." Maybe today would be the start of everything going as it should have since two years ago. No fighting anymore.
I thought too soon. "His room is right down there," a voice directed.
I could hear the footsteps of someone walking towards the room I was in. N wasn't able to heave himself up, but he turned his head in curiosity. As the figure walked inside of the room, my breaths stopped for a moment. My heart began to thump.
"Ghetsis," N said quietly, "what are you doing here?"
I jumped up, glaring at Ghetsis. How dare that villain try to kill N then show up when N survived? I opened my mouth to shout at the cretin, but he put his hand up as if to silence me.
"You aren't in the strength to fight me, Hilda, and you know it. Sit down." He said calmly. I looked over at N, who nodded. Slowly I took my seat.
"I'm surprised to see you alive, N," Ghetsis said finally.
"I'm stronger than you think," N replied.
"I noticed. Which is precisely my motive for coming here."
I stared confusedly. What was Ghetsis talking about?
"As you may have guessed, losing to a little girl makes Team Plasma look weak. Especially when this happens twice. People don't really take us seriously. Take a look at team Rocket. They rose to power, fell, rose again, and fell. Some of them remained petty thieves, but once people stopped taking them seriously they became weaker."
"What's your point?" N snapped.
"I've come to make peace."
"What sort of peace?" I asked him.
Ghetsis sighed annoyingly. "A peace treaty between Team Plasma and you two."
"What will it say?" N pressed further.
"I won't fight you two anymore, and you won't try and fight me." Ghetsis smirked. "I can see from your expressions that you two don't believe me. Here." He tossed N a pokeball.
"Zekrom…" N muttered, observing the pokeball.
"That's right. If I planned on destroying you, I wouldn't have given Zekrom back to you."
I was still uneasy. "If you weren't going to do anything wrong, we wouldn't fight you, so why do you want us to promise we won't?"
Ghetsis ignored me. "N, I have a further request."
"What's that?"
"I implore you to consider joining me again. Not for destroying Unova. Maybe to fix what went wrong between us. We can help each other."
N scoffed. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. How dumb do you think I am?"
Ghetsis tensed for a moment, then relaxed. "I don't think you're dumb. I've even explained why team Plasma is nothing by now. They wouldn't follow me anymore. So what wrong could I do on my own? I just want to strengthen the bond between my son and myself."
"I'm not your son," N said quietly.
"I adopted you. I gave you a blessed life. For the first time in your life, you were surrounded by people. Do you think I did that with bad intentions?"
I rolled my eyes. "I think his ability had something to do with it."
"You, quiet. We aren't friends. Remember that," Ghetsis snapped, glaring at me.
"Hey. An enemy of Hilda's is an enemy of mine. Besides, I don't trust you, Ghetsis. Team Plasma disbanded two years ago when I left, and you managed to reform the group. Now you think some aren't still loyal to you? I'm sure they're still surprised at your ability to control Kyurem and attack the cities like that. I don't believe you've given up."
"Is this your final answer?" N nodded. "I'm disappointed N. You had your chance to fix things, and you're letting it slip by. Good luck."

Not the longest of chapters, I know. But, I left a little hint in there...which will tell you something I won't reveal until some days from now...

hope you enjoyed!
