Chapter 28: Lust the Will to Fight

Ash and Pikachu returned to the dorm after the trip to the House of Cavendish. Finding the Will signed by Bernadette, it was determined that Daryl violated the Will by forging other Wills in benefiting herself and her daughters, thus granting Diana full custody of the House's inheritance. Ash was given Bernadette's wand to offer to Delia. He put a curse on Daryl, Maril and Merill, though it remained unknown on the curse's effects. Ash held Bernadette's wand, a memento of Diana's late mother. "Bernadette…" he muttered. "It makes me wish I knew who you were." Suddenly, there was a knock. Opening the door was Anne and a member of the Magic Council. Ash seemed surprised. "Miss Finnelan?"

"Yes, I'm here with a member of the Magic Council to discuss about a few issues on hand," Anne started. "After hearing about the trio who unlocked Oboneron to attack Luna Nova Academy, would it be alright if I spoke upon your behalf?" Anne looked uncomfortable in talking to Ash.

"Sure, if it means I don't see them again." This made Anne nod.

"I would want you out of Luna Nova Academy, but those three can stay for the rest of their lives. Speaking of, the Magic Council found a spell that can get you back home. Trust me, the sooner you leave here, the sooner I can be reinstated." To Ash, he could go home as soon as possible.

"I see…" He turned to the wand on the table. Anne stepped in and saw the wand.

"That wouldn't be Bernadette's wand, right?"

"It is. Her actual Will was read late this morning and she wanted to give my mom her wand." Seeing the wand, Anne closed the case.

"She always saw Delia as the child who could change things." The Council member cleared her throat.

"Ash," she voiced. Ash turned to her. "Perhaps I can quickly send it to her while you spend your last couple of days saying goodbye to everyone." Ash had been trustful to the Council.

"Absolutely," he allowed as he handed the case to the member.

"Delia will be grateful to hold a memory of Bernadette," Anne muttered. The member brought out a wand.

"Now, for your staff," she wished. Ash took the staff out to present to the member. She had her wand's tip touch the jewel of the staff. "OPEN, MAGIC OF THE PATHWAY!" Both the wand and staff were aglow for several seconds as Pikachu watched in awe. Then, it dimmed. "All you'll have to do is imagine where you want to travel and it will tear open a fabric of space and time. The spell drains all of the magic and it will require days to reuse the staff." Ash nodded, the trip back home on the horizon.

"I can finally go back and compete in the Unova Pokémon League," he dreamed. Knowing that Bernadette's wand was going to a new home, night quickly fell. Chariot made dinner, perhaps for the last time as Ash's classmates gathered to hear of the news. Constanze used her tablet more and showed it to Ash.

ARE YOU LEAVING ALREADY?

Ash nodded to the concern. "I know," he acknowledged. "Believe me, you all helped me learn things that I never thought I could."

"But Ash!" whined Lotte. "You can't go! We haven't had as much fun before you came!"

"Not to mention how you enjoyed all of ze food I made," Jasminka whimpered.

"And I appreciate all you've done for helping me, even the teachers," Ash honored. "But while I'm the… 'son of a witch'…" The girls giggled to the shamed title. "My goal is to be a Pokémon Master, not a wizard or whatever is the highest ranked magic user. Still, I learned a lot from everyone."

"Yeah, but having you leave after all of this time," Amanda added. "I would've wanted to bring you to New York, try out a well-known restaurant and maybe bring some of the meat home." Ash understood Amanda's wish.

"As much of a big eater that I am, it would be good to try," Ash admitted. "Perhaps if I do find my way back, I may take up that offer." Other girls pleaded for Ash to stay, but he shook his head. He wanted to go home.

"If it helps on ze way home," Jasminka spoke. "I'll have some candy for you and your friends to try." Ash accepted the idea with a nod.

"I do have something to say about all of you," he spoke. "Even though my Pokémon and I will go back to our world, we don't forget the friends we meet. In fact, we're all friends forever." He brought his arm out and a fist. Amanda gripped his fist.

"Yeah…" she accepted. Lotte added her hand to the pile.

"Agreed," she accepted. Sucy, holding Amoonguss, continued the process.

"Haunting together," she teased. Jasminka followed up.

"Da!" she cheered. Wangari, Molly, Hannah, Barbara, Constanze, Akko and Diana joined for the gathering.

"To our success!" shouted Ash. "Friendship is our true magic!"

"FRIENDSHIP IS OUR TRUE…," the girls all sounded before they flung their arms up. "MAGIC!" The activity over, Ash returned to the dorm as Akko and Diana offered Ash's Pokémon to watch over. In his dorm, Ash looked over the tome. He saw something that made him giggle.

"Uh oh…" he awed. "I didn't realize this problem for Daryl. I guess she's in for a surprise." That's when he realized the silence in the dorm. "Pikachu? Oshawott? Did I leave you guys outside?" He reached the door before finding Akko and Diana by the entrance. "What!?" Akko rose her arm.

"Don't worry about Pikachu and the rest," she assured. "We gave them to our friends and teachers."

"We like to come in for something," Diana wished.

"Of course," Ash allowed. The two girls entered the dorm and Diana closed the door. "I'm actually glad that you came. We can see each other with a spell that the Magic Council gave me."

"Are you sure?" asked Diana.

"Believe me, I'd rather have you two with the same spell to share," Ash admitted. "This way, when we want to see each other, the spell can let us cross over." The two girls realized how much he cared about the two.

"We appreciate that, even after we gave your Pokémon to others," Diana accepted. "We wanted to do something for you." She brought the Wand of Beatrix out.

"After all, what you did to Diana's relatives was awesome," Akko giggled as she brought the Shiny Rod out. "I know you did it to protect all of us and used the curse to put them in their place." Ash itched his face.

"About that curse…" he admitted. "There's a bit of a problem, and that they'll have the curse for a long time… but I wasn't given a choice."

"But still, my love," Diana spoke as she rested a hand on Ash's shoulder. "It's what they deserved." She looked to the side. "I do not consider Daryl or her daughters family to me anymore. They're a disgrace to be members of the Cavendish family. Instead, I have a new family with everyone here at Luna Nova Academy from Headmistress Holbrooke to Akko… to you, my beloved… and Pikachu." Ash smiled to Diana's resolve.

"I bet my mom would be next," he hoped. Akko laughed to the idea.

"Anyway, our reason for visiting and giving your Pokémon away is that we had a private conversation," she informed. "After a long talk, Diana and I came to an agreement with a decision between each other." Ash believed Akko and Diana wanted to join him and his Pokémon back in his world.

"I'm guessing that you two want to stay with me in the Pokémon World now that I have the spell I wanted to share?" he guessed.

"Well, we do wanna go," Akko wished. "But we can't."

"We still have our studies and dreams to fulfill," Diana added.

"I can get behind that," Ash nodded. "What about this decision?" Akko and Diana looked to each other before interlocking hands and fingers.

"We're giving ourselves to you!" they offered. Ash blinked, not sure what the girls had in mind.

"Giving yourselves… to me?" he wondered. "What do you mean? We're already dating." The girls giggled to Ash's bewildered guess.

"Not like that, you silly," Diana teased.

"We meant in a similar, but different way," Akko played. Ash continued having a hard time understanding their desire.

"And what is that way?" he asked.

"We're giving you our bodies!" the girls replied. Ash became more dumbfounded to their idea.

"Your… bodies?" he repeated before he had a thought and it made him rather scared. "Wait a minute… You mean to say that you both want to… want… to…" Diana brought the Wand of Beatrix out.

"That's right, darling!" she grinned as she zapped Ash. The magic stopped Ash from moving a muscle. This gave the girls a chance to strip themselves of their clothes. Their boots came off before their robes. They were now in their undergarments: Diana in a silky red satin bra and underwear, and Akko wearing a black bra and underwear. Ash watched helplessly as Akko and Diana playfully removed their bras. Akko's breasts were barely developed while Diana's were slightly larger. Ash's eyes started bulging out of his head.

"W-w-w-w-Wait a second!" he stuttered. The two topless girls weren't done.

"I'll seal the dorm of sound," Diana thought up while holding the wand.

"Right, we don't want anyone else to know about our sex time with Ash," Akko confessed. Ash dropped every sense of courage, but that's all that he could drop.

"WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?" he screamed. Akko giggled to Ash's innocence before she tapped the Shiny Rod on him.

"We have a couple other things to do before we start," she advised. Ash could only watch as Akko undid his trousers. What she saw made her eyes bulge as hard as Ash did. After setting a barrier, Diana returned and saw a treasure the girls were after.

"Oh my God!" she gawked. "Is that for real!?" Akko cackled to the member.

"If this is what he is now, what if I did this?" she pondered before she used the Shiny Rod on Ash. A flash. As Nelson and Unfezant passed over, Nelson saw the dorm aglow.

"It looks like a barrier…" she noticed. "But, why?" They swooped in and looked through the windows, but they saw Ash Akko and Diana looking like they were talking and fully clothed. Nelson believed there was nothing to worry about. They flew off. Inside the dorm; groans, moans, screams of pleasure echoed throughout. Clothes were strewn throughout the dorm as Akko and Diana sat on Ash on the bed. Diana sat on Ash's lap in front of his torso with her kneeling legs betwixt. Her back barely bent as her face cried in pleasure with her eyes closed. Ash looked taller and leaner while his face was buried in Akko's crotch between her kneeling legs.

"YES!" screamed Diana repeated through each bounce. Akko's face cried in joy while her body gyrated per movement of Ash's head. Drops of blood trickled down between Ash's and Diana's legs.

"WHAT A TONGUE!" cried Akko. "DON'T STOP!" After a while, Akko and Diana switched with Diana on top of Akko while she lied on the bed. Diana's crotch was on top of Akko while her legs locked across Ash's torso. Ash and Diana were kissing while she muffled screams from Akko's head moving and the gyrations of Ash.

'This is what sex is!?' minded Ash. 'I mean, Diana used magic that she claimed keeps them from getting pregnant. I don't know what that means, but if this is how babies are made… I'm actually thankful she did that.' Moments later, Diana and Akko sandwiched Ash while the latter two stood. Diana was in Ash's arms with her limbs wrapped tightly around him, bouncing off Ash's body.

"SO GOOD!" she wailed. Tears fell from Diana's closed eyes as Ash winced per bounce. Akko bounced herself, her breasts rubbing on Ash's back. Ash had a scream of his own as he stopped, Diana feeling a pulse and yelping. A moment later, Ash sat on the bed with Akko bouncing on his lap and Diana on Ash's back.

"KEEP GOING!" she cried. Ash's pained face emerged again with more of Akko's gyrations. Ash let out one more scream as did Akko. Finally, they collapsed together in bed. Blood, sweat and whitish stains coated the bed sheets and blankets as Ash's body returned to normal. All three were soaked to the bone in sweat as they exhausted themselves from the sex. Akko passed out, her arm over her breasts but holding Ash's hand. Diana hugged Ash as they were still conscious.

"That spell only lasted an hour, but it was long enough for us to enjoy the love between all of us," she murmured. "I would wager that your stamina would last for longer if not for the limit of the spell Akko applied." Akko had a slight laugh from hearing Diana.

"Suddenly, I'm actually grateful for the experience," Ash smiled. "If this is what it takes to have kids, I might need to learn about parenting before we have any." Diana giggled to the idea.

"We're at least living out what Sir Aaron and Easter wanted to do about a thousand years ago."

"Well, not just this… but I think overall with a family and a legacy beyond belief."

"Like powerful witches throughout history?"

"Maybe more than that, but I'm happy with this as it is."

"As do I." They kissed longingly to sleep. Their nude and fatigued bodies made sleeping all the easier.

Ash soon woke to finding himself in the room where Daryl offered the forged Will to Diana to siphon more of the inheritance from her. "How did I wind up here?" he wondered. Suddenly, the door behind him opened. To Ash, Daryl was about to berate him for what he did to her and her daughters. Turning, Ash didn't find Daryl. Instead, it was a blond woman in a white night gown with blue eyes looking to Ash.

"So, you are Delia's son," she guessed.

"Yeah, and you are?" The tall woman came to and placed a hand on Ash's shoulder.

"I was her tutor, Bernadette Cavendish. I'm happy to meet you, even though it's from beyond the grave." The sight made Ash realize who Diana's mother was as she hugged Ash.

"You're Diana's mom? I can see where her heart comes from." The comment made Bernadette laugh.

"Much appreciated… but I came to thank you for protecting Diana, as well as redeem her smile and happiness. I should've known my sister hated my daughter, but I didn't know the extent of her disdain. The Will I provided was enough for all attorneys to agree to, but Daryl could never be satisfied." To Ash, Daryl wanted everything for nothing.

"But your Will is now out of her hands because of that."

"So it had to be… Of course, I wouldn't come and visit without my praise to you for your courage to help Diana. You've done more for me than I would have before my fatal illness." The praise made Ash smile.

"If I could, I would bring you back to take care of her when I leave for my home."

"That would be appreciated, but this is how fate works. Instead, you have all you need for the task. The Wand of Beatrix is now hers, as is my wand to Delia." That made Ash wonder about her wand.

"I was wondering, why did you want to give your wand to Mom? I heard that you two were as close as Chariot and Miss Meridies."

"Because when I had Diana, I offered to name Delia her godmother should anything happen. I wouldn't have suspected that my daughter and her son would become itemized, and I doubt she would as well." The two giggled to the realization. "Do tell Diana the next morning that I still love her, and that I'll continue to watch over her throughout the rest of her days." The promise made Ash nod in agreement.

"I can do that." The promise had Bernadette lean down and kiss Ash's forehead.

The new morning rose as Ash, Akko and Diana slept through the sun's beaming onto their faces. The action from last night was pretty exhausting to everyone. The girls held each of Ash's hands. Suddenly, the phone rang by the bed. The screen read "HOUSE OF CAVENDISH" and Diana woke to it. She groaned and looked to the phone as she woke. She reached for the phone and responded while her topless body glistened in sweat. "Anna?" she guessed.

"Diana, you must come to the House, ASAP!" urged Anna. "Daryl, Maril and Merill… I don't know what to say! It might be the curse Ash inflicted on!" Ash heard Anna's voice and woke to see Diana on the phone.

"Give us an hour," Diana assured. "We'll need to get ready."

"Alright," Anna allowed. Diana pressed something on her screen before turning to her boyfriend.

"The curse took affect?" he guessed. Akko stirred as well. Much like Ash and Diana, her topless body shimmered from the sweat.

"We'll see what's going on," Diana feared. They got dressed and Ash used his magic to share with the Shiny Rod and the Wand of Beatrix. All three now have the spell to travel back and forth to wherever they desired. They flew with their brooms and Miranda came along.

"Headmistress, why are you joining us!?" he wondered.

"It involves former students of my school, so I would like to know the ordeal!" replied Miranda with Pikachu joining.

("And I like Diana as well!") added Pikachu. Soon, all four brooms stopped, and everyone dismounted them with Pikachu joining Ash's shoulder. Anna opened the door and gawked to seeing Miranda.

"Headmistress Holbrooke!" she realized.

"After Chariot and Croix debriefed me, I wanted to see them for myself," Miranda briefed. Anna nodded as Anne also joined. She landed nearby.

"I have had concerns about the Cavendish family, but did not want Ash to be involved, but that's too late," she grumbled. Ash sighed, her history with Anne still fresh.

"When you hear that I did this to protect Diana," he brought up. "I value my friends as much as you do your students." Anne shook her head before they entered. Ash gave Anne tidbits about the ordeal as they entered. In the game room, Daryl struggled to recline herself on a large cushy chair. Her body ached tremendously as her breathing labored. Maril and Merill laid strewn to the ground, seemingly paralyzed and immobile with heavy breathing.

"As you can see…" pointed Anna. "This is their current state." Daryl looked to Ash as he and Pikachu had their arms crossed, disappointed to their punishment.

"You wanker!" she growled. "You put this on us!" Miranda came over to Merill as Ash didn't seem moved by Daryl's insult.

"And attacking family is considered okay?" he mulled. Miranda poked Merill on the shoulder. She felt the poke before her body contorted, her back arching upward as she was on her heels and screaming head. After a minute, she collapsed, and her breathing became more labored.

"A simple touch?" wondered Anne. "And you attacked my student because of what the Will contained? If anything, you would've been better barred from using magic for the rest of your lives, not this."

"Something I'd actually have to agree with Miss Finnelan on," Akko briefed. "So, what was that spell?"

"See, I looked into it and found out that this curse only works when someone touches those inflicted," Ash started. Anne came to Anna and poked her. Nothing.

"Thankfully, I wasn't inflicted," Anna denied. "But Ash defended Diana from a physical attack by Daryl before applying said curse." Anne and Miranda nodded to Ash's claim, believing his take.

"I still don't like what he's been doing around my absence," Anne groaned. Maril rolled to a seat before she turned to Ash.

"What have you done to us!?" she demanded answers. "This curse is unbearable!"

"I read into that," Ash informed. "Your bodies will suffer bodily convulsions as if you're going through an orgasm that lasts for at most half a day. All you need is someone touching you to trigger it, and the curse resets. It's a painful lesson for attacking your niece… and my girlfriend." Anne became horrified to the detail.

"Certainly, there has to be a better way of dealing with the malice of greed," she trembled. At wits' end, Daryl felt the loss was too great.

"Okay, Diana…" she winced, still feeling the effects. "This is too much…" She turned to Anna. "Get the Deed. I had this as a last resort." Anna grabbed a parchment that had "DEED" on top. "I… Daryl Cavendish… hearby forfeit the House of Cavendish and its inheritance… to my niece… Diana Cavendish." The Deed and pen in hand, Daryl was the first to sign it.

"Mother, don't!" cried Maril.

"We can still keep the House!" pleaded Merill.

"No, there's too much against us at this point," Daryl grimaced. "If Diana hires lawyers, the scandals involving us would be too great, and this curse is leaving a lot of strain." After Daryl signed it, Miranda and Anna signed as witnesses to the Deed. Finally, Diana signed her name, the Deed complete.

"Ash, part of the inheritance will go to you as well," she offered. Ash blinked, not sure about having part of the Cavendish property.

"Hey, if there's anything from the House," he started. "It's the new owner." Akko giggled to the rebuttal as Diana smiled.

"Okay, enough with the cutesy routine," Daryl growled. "Rid this curse at once!" Ash shook his head.

"Well, there's a problem with that," he admitted. "The curse is irreversible and permanent. Once it gets on someone, it's there forever." Daryl and her daughters gasped, the mother falling from the chair, learning that the curse was on them for the rest of their lives.

"You… can't take it back!?" shrieked Maril.

"It's off my hands," Ash shrugged. He turned to Daryl for a last warning. "Think of it this way: you gave your sister and niece a life of misery. You might as well enjoy the same pain they've had." Anne grunted, thinking Ash had a vendetta against the Cavendish.

"You're just making it up," she warned. "You put the curse on, you can turn the curse off."

"If I did, how will I know that they won't pull a fast one and attack all of us, even you?" pondered Ash. Anne believed Ash wanted to keep her safe to get on her good side.

"I'm the last person to worry about," she refused before walking away.

"You're definitely hard to please," Akko huffed. Daryl turned to Diana who stood like a statue with the Wand of Beatrix.

"Diana, help!" she pleaded. "This is a family manner! I need your help!" Diana pocketed the Wand, much to Daryl's dismay. "No…"

"The family motto is Affection," Diana reminded. "Those who have no Affection to others is not family." She poked Daryl's nose. This reapplied the effects of the curse and she felt the urges of orgasms coursing through her body. Diana left and everyone else followed. Daryl bellowed a blood-curdling scream. Ash had one thing on his mind with the aunt unable to do anything. Diana returned to his side.

"By the way, Bernadette stopped by in my dream last night," he started. Diana became highly interested, her eyes shooting wide open.

"Mother?" she awed.

"She told me that she still loves you, and she's happy that you're smiling again," he briefed. Diana gasped in surprise at what he told her about it, her hand over her heart in realizing Bernadette was looking over her. "I may have had a role in that." Diana giggled to the claim.

"Even if you did, I wouldn't want it any other way," she understood before they kissed. They flew back to Luna Nova Academy to start Ash's farewell.
