Well. Enjoy!
~XxStarzxX~
The sky had darkened by the time Ash and co. had finally caught up with the giant airship.
"That's them Ash!" Misty pointed out ahead to the huge shadow.
Ash nodded and ordered his Charizard to use extreme speed, and together they flew forward and circled the ship taking a surveillance of the area.
Drew frowned, "Is it just me or is the ship slowing down?"
Paul stood u on Gyarados's back and looked at the ship, "It looks like its stopping…"
Misty and Drew both ordered their pokemon to stop and hover as Ash quickly flew back as fast as he could.
Brock frowned, "What's happening Ash?"
Ash panted a bit from the cold air, "They've stopped and opened one of their main doors. It looks like they either know we're here or they're stopping to camp."
Drew shook his head, "They know were here. We should land to let our pokemon rest over on that ledge and keep our eyes alert."
They all nodded and flew to one of the canyon walls.
Dawn cried in fear as she sat in the corner of the prison cell. Throughout the last few hours everyone had been pulled from the room one by one until she was the only one left. At first she thought it was because they were going to different cells, but that was before the screams came. Loud and painful screams of all her friends.
First it was Leaf, then Gary, and Brendan, all the way to Kat and May, even to little Molly. All their screams were full of begging and tears, fighting and hopelessness, until they just silenced. It had been about a half hour since Molly was taken and only five minutes ago did her screams stop, transitioning into a quiet whimper, into silence.
Dawn's eyes were sealed shut, painfully closed with waterfalls of tears. What if all of her friends were dead? Was she next? Did their other friends really abandon them to this fate? What Brendan said earlier….is this the testing? Will they keep testing us till our limits? Would she die without ever seeing Paul again? Without saying goodbye to her mother? Without having a child of her own?
Dawn's heart rate sped u once again into near-hyperventilation. She was going to die…
Her heart stopped as the large steel door swung open with a bang and four grunts walked in.
She couldn't breath…this was just what had happened before everyone was taken.
*flashback*
Dawn, May and Kat all huddled together with Molly, all of them worried for their friends screams.
Suddenly the door swung open and many grunts came in grabbing Kat by the wrists and pushing her out the door.
Kat kicked and screamed as she tried to fight them off only ending up in more grabbing her legs.
"Kat!" May ran and tried to pull back the grunts, "Let her go!"
One of the grunts had had enough and whipped around slapping her across the face and stunning her.
Before she could see what was going on however, three more grunts grabbed her arms and legs and dragged her out of the room."
Dawn quickly grabbed onto Molly and held her tight, running into the corner.
She could only watch in fear as her two best friends were harshly dragged toward their pain and suffering.
Soon after, Molly was taken the same way, leaving Dawn all alone.
*flashback end*
She was frozen, she couldn't speak nor move as the grunts grabbed her arms and pulled her down the hall into a sterilized white lab. At least that's what she thought before she saw a small blood stain right on the floor near the bed.
Her heart was pounding as one last thought came to mind,
'My watch…'
She quickly and discreetly felt to see if her watch was there, and thank god, it was.
She began to open it slowly and dial in a number, her heart speeding up with each vibrating ring that continued behind her back.
"Alright lets get this started,"
Dawn turned her head up towards an insane looking man with a large needle in his hand.
Her eyes widened as her eyes looked toward a bio-hazard bin behind him. A needle, similar to the one the man had now only empty, had fallen out. Her heart completely stopped again as she looked at the red liquid that dripped down the used needle.
'B…bll..blood…'
Drew, Misty, Ash, Brock, Lizabeth and Paul all sat around Charizard's tail staying warm in the cold before a buzzing broke the silence.
Misty sniffled, "That's me…"
Misty pulled out her poke gear and gasped at the screen.
"That's Dawn's number!" She screamed as she jumped up to her feet.
The boys and Lizabeth all ran over to see the device that Misty held.
She shook as she silently clicked 'accept' and listened to what was going on with Dawn.
"Alright lets get this started," a mysterious voice cackled.
"Wha-what is that thing?"
Thee shaky nervous voice belonged to Dawn, they all knew that for fact.
The older man laughed again, "Oh don't worry…this is just a little liquid that will help you make your decisions easier."
Dawn shook terribly, "And what makes you think…that I'm going to let you stick me with that?"
Paul growled as he imagined Dawns face, twisted with terror and streaked with tears.
The man snickered, "Oh now please don't be difficult…Your friends were so annoying…that damn brunette nearly broke my nose and the other one had to be restrained down. Keep in mind that we can make it hurt much more then it has too, you heard your friends screams after they tried to rebel correct?"
Dawn squeaked in fear.
He laughed very loudly, "Good…now hold her down, she's going to thrash when this enters her blood stream."
Drew and Paul were furious. Drew felt like crying after hearing how much pain his girlfriend had gone through, and Paul was frozen at his love's screams of pain.
Dawn screamed as loud as she could, "STO-STOOP!"
She paused every few begs to scream her lungs out and cry, "PLEASE! IT HURTS!"
Ash fell to his feet and punched the ground as hard as he could.
Dawn continued to scream though the poke gear pausing to cry, "p-please...just…just stop…please…"
The older voice came back and laughed, "Sorry, but no."
Dawns screams then grew louder and louder until after a few moments they stopped.
All 6 of them were crying in pain for their friend.
A small whimper was all that could be heard before the elder mans voice grew happy,
"She's done. Put her with the rest of them."
Steps were heard as the grunts came in and lifted Dawn up off the medic table.
"Wait just a moment!" The older man paused his soldiers.
A few clicks were heard before the steps continued.
Misty was frozen, she didn't know what to do. She knew the call was still going but she could no longer hear Dawns voice or the grunts steps.
"You must be their friends am I wrong?"
Lizabeth gasped as she realized something, as they all did.
The man was speaking directly to them.
Ash finally stood and took the device from Misty's frozen hands,
"What did you do to our friends?" His voice was drenched in venom and full of hate toward the unknown voice on the other end.
"Oh just opened up their blood to a bit of obedience. Why does that bother you?"
Ash growled in anger, "Just who the hell are you?"
The voice cackled, "My name is Charon, Top scientist of Team Galactic. This must be Ash? Cyrus warned us all about you and your friends but I am not scared. You must have noticed how our ship has stopped? Well here's why. Some of our grunts have a but of a grudge against you all and would love to battle you! Meet us down by the front entrance to the ship if you are brave enough."
That was the last thing they all heard before Dawns Poketch was crushed, and the line went blank.
Paul and Drew both stood before wiping their eyes and heading toward the edge of the canyon wall.
Brock jumped up, "Your going?"
Paul looked at him as if he was insane, "Your not?"
Ash and Misty both stood and followed Drew and Paul down the ledge of the wall.
Lizabeth frowned as she placed her hand on his shoulder, "Brock…We cant let them go unsupervised. They're all too emotionally unstable."
Brock nodded before guiding her down the path the others had taken.
The 6 friends slowly approached the entrance to the ship.
Lizabeth looked around in eerie silence, "So What now?"
"Well you showed up!"
Everyone's gaze turned up to a large opening in the ship where a girl stood.
Ash growled under his breath, "Mars…"
Mars laughed, "So glad to see you again! Well shall we start the battle?"
Brock looked up at her, "So we're battling you?"
Mars laughed harder, "Oh goodness no! I'm leaving that job to them"
Mars walked off as she pointed upward, and after following their gaze, the friends saw 4 shadows. 2 boys and 3 girls.
Drew frowned, "Who are they?"
The two boys then leaped off the top of the ship and landed with expert skill on the ground in front of them.
Ash gasped, "Oh My God!"
Drew, Lizabeth and Paul were confused at their friends outburst.
Ash ran toward them, "Gary! Brendan!"
The white-hatted boy then looked up at Ash, his red eyes blank of any emotion.
Ash quickly stopped halfway and noticed that inside these two boys were not his friends.
Misty gasped, "Then that means!"
Everyone quickly looked up to see both girls gone.
Lizabeth panicked, "Wh-whered they go?"
Suddenly the ground shook heavily, just like earlier that day when the girls were taken.
"Its Brendan!" Misty shouted
They all looked over to see Brendan with his arms up, summoning all of the earth to tremble and shake until a giant hole appeared directly between the two teams.
Before anyone could comment, two loud roars quieted their ears drawing their attention to the Groudon that had lifted Brendan up, and the Rayquaza which had taken Gary upon his head.
Drew gasped, "This is not good!"
Lizabeth screamed, "Look up!"
All of them turned their attention upward toward three enormous shadows that shadowed the entire area.
As the shadows drew nearer, the enormous hole began to fill with water and swirled as if It was a contained whirlpool.
All of it happened in an instant for next thing they knew standing next to Groudon and Rayquaza, Dialga and Palkia stood with pride as Kyogre sat in its new pool of water.
Ash's eyes were enormous, "This is going to be hard!"
Lizabeth, however, had been looking all over the place for the two girls, before she finally froze in fear.
Misty turned to look at her, "What's wrong Lizabeth?"
Lizabeth could only stutter, "On…on top of the…pok...pokemon…"
Everyone slowly looked u at the 3 new legendaries and stepped back in shock.
Standing proudly on their pokemon were two girls around their age in standard Team Galactic uniforms. What brought their attention however was that the girl on Dialga's head had midnight blue hair and dark blue eyes while the girl on Kyogre had short brunette pigtails and dulled sapphire eyes.
Misty's eyes leaked tears, "Dawn…May…"
Drew could only stare up at the girl on the Kyogre. There was no way that that was the girl he was in love with. No way that that was the girl who had kissed him with sparkling eyes.
While Ash and co. were all stunned all 4 of them leaped to the ground, landing with grace.
Gary spoke in a very dulled voice, "We are the first tests of Master Cyrus's ingenious plan to restart this world. There is no way you can stop us."
Just as the girls had hit the ground both Drew and Paul regretted it.
Now that they were in the light you could see just what pain they went through. Dawn had red puffy cheeks from the crying and screaming she had done just a few moments ago, but May was in much worse state. Her right hand was swollen, and blood streaked down the side of her face, both most likely from when she had tried to brake Charon's nose and faced the consequences he spoke of.
Ash screamed to the opening in the wall, "MARS! JUPITER! SATURN! CHARON! ONE OF YOU BASTARDS COME DOWN HERE AND TURN THEM ALL BACK TO NORMAL!"
"Or what Ash?"
Ash looked up to see May staring straight at him.
"Or what? you'll kill them? You wont even be able to get through us and there are at least 5 more of us in there with more on their way." She said with a straight face.
Ash frowned and wiped his eyes, "Then I guess we'll just have to beat all four of you and force them to turn you back!"
Ash released Charizard and Torterra, Misty threw her Gyarados and Togekiss, Paul his Aggron and Electivire, Drew released his Flygon and Absol, Brock tossed his Steelix and Blissey and Lizabeth her Hydregion and Samurott.
Dawn smirked as Dialga and Palkia came to her side, "Then lets Battle!"
