A/N: Well, the title should explain what's going to happen in this chapter… I changed the summary to make things more interesting… Well, read and review!
"Ari, there has to be another way to save him," Kairi said, walking towards her.
"Well, if you don't care if I strap him down and start a major surgery to extract the orbs from his body..," Ari said, her voice trailing off.
"Ari!" Misty yelled angrily.
"Fine, fine. Ash will have to make the choice himself though. He'll actually have three choices. He can live forever with me, he can be his normal self, and he can be his evil self. Get him as close to me as you can," Ari said.
Kairi and Misty nodded.
"How are we going to get him to come over here?" Misty asked Kairi.
"Yell his name and hope he comes towards us," Misty suggested.
"ASH!" They yelled together.
He looked over and blew up another house. He walked slowly towards them.
"How close does he have to be?" Kairi whispered.
"Almost there," Ari replied with a grin.
About a foot and a half later Ari began to glow red, blue, and yellow.
She shot the beam towards Ash that enveloped him with light.
He started to scream. The lights swirled around him and became brighter by the second.
A bright flash later Ash looked normal but, he was all slumped over holding his head.
"I'm a monster!" He yelled towards the sky, tears rolling down his now pale face.
"Ash," Kairi whispered, tears rolling down her face.
Ash fell to his knees.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked walking up and patting Ash's leg.
Ari walked up to him and slapped him across the face. "You are given the chance to choose and all you can do is break down about what you could've done?"
Ash looked up at her. "I was born a monster. I cannot stop fate."
"But Ash! You're not a monster! Look at all the good you've done! You helped so many people!" Misty yelled.
"You've stopped Team Rocket time and time again! You've saved people from their grasp!" Brock yelled, from the door of Delia's house.
"You've helped too many people to be truly evil!" Dawn yelled.
"That's not the truth," Runo whispered. "You took me from that base knowing that I was with them. Your evil side was being awakened and you didn't even realize it. Don't you recognize me? Onii-sama?" Runo whispered, looking him straight in the eyes.
Ash's eyes got wide as more tears ran down his face.
"It's true, Ash. You know it is, don't you? Or do you not remember when she was in Pallet for a short while when you were six?" Gary asked stepping forward.
"I remember now, Nee-sama. You were there when I thought my mother died. You held me tight and told me you would never leave," Ash whispered, the tears running down his face again.
Runo bent down and hugged him. "I'm sorry I left. Mother forced me to after a few weeks. She didn't want you getting attached to me. You, Akari, and I were destined from the day we were born to help Aunt Delia's husband. To take over the world and make it better."
"Ash, don't listen to her! She's lieing!" Kairi yelled.
"No, Kairi. She's not. I've read the tablet that determines futures. Once something is on that tablet it will never change. If a person reads the tablet and tries to stop what they have read they will die. I cannot stop what has already been decided," Ash whispered.
"No, you're not evil," Kairi whispered.
Ash walked towards Kairi. "I'm evil. There is nothing that can help it. I knew that this day would come. I showed you what to do," Ash told her.
Kairi gasped. "No, not that! Please no!" Kairi said as she covered her eyes.
"It's the way it has to be if the world is to be safe," Ash told her.
"Onii-sama," Runo whispered.
"Use your power Kairi!" Ash yelled, extending his arms out so he was in a cross shape.
Tears ran down Kairi's face as she put her hands into a fist out in front of her. "May the light…of this Earth… come together… in my hands. All the hopes.. and t-the dreams, all the d-d-death, and the fright. Let good and the b-bad come t-t-together and t-t-tear the evil from th-this being!" She yelled, light forming in the fist and growing brighter by the second. A ball of yellow light began to form and grow bigger and bigger in Kairi's hands.
"No!" Akari yelled from behind a bush running in front of Ash right as Kairi let go of the ball of energy.
"Akari, why?" Ash asked.
"Y-you are m-my brother. E-e-even if you rejected me, you are still my," Akari panted, blood seeping from the open wound in her stomach. "I love you, Onee-sama."
"Akari…" Ash whispered, hugging her limp body to his chest.
Kairi fell to the ground.
"Come, Onii-sama. This was her destiny. Take my hand and plunge into yours," Runo said, extending her hand towards him.
Ash took it and stood up, dropping Akari's body.
"Ash, don't leave me," Kairi whispered, tears running down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Kairi. You were not strong enough to stop me. I have to embrace my destiny," Ash whispered, walking off with Runo.
"Why didn't you stop him!?" Misty yelled at Ari. "He still has your orbs!"
"The only way to save him is to speak with Destiny and Hope. They are the only two they may hold the key to defeating Team Rocket and stopping Ash and Runo," Ari whispered, walking toward the gate to Pallet Town.
"I swear Ash. I will save you," Misty whispered, tears falling from her eyes.
"We'll save him," Brock, Dawn, and Kairi said taking each others hand.
