"Wait a minute"
That was serena, she was having a shower after some birds pissed on her druing the scout for 2 demon jackals mentioned in a mythology book, she closed the water, wrapped a towel around herself and put a step out of the bathtub, wetting the floor she's walking with her hair that reaches all the way down to her waists, after drying her hair she took the phone and opened it only to see alain's face on the phone
"Hey alain i was just-" she tried to say but got cut off by alain's tough voice
"SERENA...ASH....HE'S İN HOSPİTAL!" Alain yelled trough the phone and she felt the heavy breaths under his voice, like he is running somewhere, but as soon as she heard the hospital voice her eyes wide opened
"WHAT!"
...................................................................
***********************************************************************************************************************
Sun begin to rise, alain and mairin were waiting at the outside of one of the healthcare rooms, mairin was sitting on her wheelchair of courese but alain was walking front and back drawing circles around himself
"He should've called for help, i should've help!" Alain grinned his teeth while walking around randomly, mairin saw his anger and sighed
"Well we weren't that helpful after all" mairin bowed her head and mumbled but it was loud enough for alain to hear
"What was that?" Alain asked, not madly rather cırious, but deep inside he knows the answer
"We were supposed to be in a mission but all of us distracted, all expect ash" mairin andwered, cause alain to raise an eyebrow
"What are you saying mairin?" Alain asked again
"Don't you see ash carries himself as the leader, and in the end he is the one who always takes the hit, remember calem?" Mairin respond with a serious tone in her voice, this cause him to sigh this time
"Don't mentioned him" alain said and they both stood there hoping a doctor will walk out of this surgery and give them good news, but after minutes later of their waiting they saw serena running forward at them
"ASH!" She shout in fear adn tried to get inside but alain grabbed her from the wrists and pulled her back
"Serena this is forbidden to rush inside there!" Alain hardly said to serena as he give all of his strenght to pull her back, but she keep forcing herself to push in
"İ don't care!, they can't heal him only i can!" She cried between the rushed of alain's pulls and her pushes, alain was gettig tired who knows angels are that strong?, mairin suddenly rushed in fromt of serena and put her hands on her stomach and begin to push her back to give alain some support
"We didn't said you can't, there are a lot of people in there you can't be seeing using your powers" just like alain mairin exclaimed, after seconds later she stopped and fell on her knees, she started crying with her palms covering her eyes
"İt's my fault, i left him alone" she said between her cries, alain kneeled next to him and put a hand on her shoulder
"We all did, don't blame yourself" alain softly said, tried to confort him, even he was right serena just cried even harder
"But i was his partner, dammit i myself a scout but let him down because of some stupid birds!" Serena exclaimed between tears of sorrow, thinking about ash been in hospital, she can heal him, letting him down, she feels sad, been a trained scout in heaven and failing because of a ridiculous reason, she feels terrible, knowingt it is ash who paid the price, now that's the worst
Serena keep sitting on cold ground, didn't even cared to sit on chair,alain keep walking in circles while mairin was sitting on her wheelchair with a bowed head, alain was right they supposed to be a team but what kind of team let themselves distract and cause their leader to get hurt?
Waiting someone was even worst tha in they shows in television, thinking all the posibilities, good and worst about the person ou love, wanting to wake him up, watching him laying there giving the fight of his life is terrible than imagined, and the worst thing is you can't even help that person, you can only watch him in laying there covered in medical equipment and the only thing stands between you 2 is the 2 inch unbreakable glass, you can extend your hand but you can't reach them, alain and mairin was terrified with that experience but not as much as serena
......................................................................
After an half hour of waiting, or ash's life battle, a doctor walked out of the room, as soon as he put a step outside all 3 of them rushed to them
"How's ash doc?" Alain asked, doctor pulled out his schedule and checked names, serena and mairin crossed palms and fingers as he does
"There he is, i'm sorry but we never saw any virus like this, we have no icea how long it will take to cure them" doctor said, cause all of them to gasp, even they knew actually their aura's captured by a demon, serena grabbd doctor's arm
"Can we see him?" Serena asked, doctor sighed before answering
"Sure but don't take too long" doctor said and begin to walk away, when he did serena walked inside, mairin wanted as well but alain pulled her back from her shoulder
"İ think we should leave them alone" alain said to mairin in a low tone, mairin nodded as they both let serena walk inside the surgery alone
.................................................................
They carried ash to an empty room, ash was laying on a bed with a flower near a dwarven, serena opened the door and slowly walked inside, she was shocked once she saw his white dead hair and skin, like a soaked sponge, once she reached to ash she put her palms on her stomach
"Here, you love it when i do this" she mumbled to him while glowing her palms and heal his bruises caused in fight by lucario, she moved her hand all over his body, feeling her hard muscles as she gazed with her hands to heal him, but once she done ash didn't even moved a finger, she worried
"Stop the act ash, i healed you just wake up" she mumbled again with a small smile, hoping he is just pranking her but he didn't, his hair and skin was the same
"Ash this isn't funny wake up already" serena spoke again but again nothing happened, she tighten her hands
"Ash please wake up, please i beg you!" She took his hand and cried on it, burying her face inside his palm, soaking his hand, letting her tears go, more ash didn't respond more she got worried and sad
"You promised me, you said you will never leave me alone, but i leave you alone, ash i'm so sorry" serena sadly said to him in tears, still holding his hand, not wanted to let go, now she realized she can heal pysichal damages all she wants but healing a soul is not that easy, ash was just laying there, he was nothing but a shell without an aura, thinking about it made her angry, she begin to squeeze his hand between hers, she felt something she never felt before...revenge, vengance, anger
"İ will find that bastard and i will bring your aura back, i promise!" She mumbled again with narrow eyes, but this time her voice was filled with rage
............................................................
Meanwhile alain and mairin was watching them from the gap of the door behind the corridor, mairin shed a tear to see her like that, but alain narrow his eye in suspicious, before he could speak their speaker suddenly vibrated
"Alain...mairin can anyone read me?" That was sylveon, alain took the speaker and spoke back
"We hear you, what's the problem?" Alain asked, sylveon answered with a mad voice
"We found that jackal, pikachu and i are holding him!" Pikachu reported, when they heard ash's condiciun pikachu and sylveon been searching for lucario non-stop, alain's eyes wide opened as soon as sylveon finished her sentence
"Where are you?!" Alain almost shout while asking
"Remember the place where we met?, 3 blocks south, inside a meant factory" sylveon respond, alain closed the speaker and turned to mairin
"Stay here, i'll kill that thing!" Alain madly mumbled and tried to walk away but mairin grabbed his warm not letting him go
"With serena right?" Mairin asked with a serious face, but alan shook his head
"No way look at her" alain said while pointing her between the door gap, this made mairin curious
"What about her?" She asked, alain sighed before answering
"She is swearing mairin!, She is filled with desire for revenge, remember what happens to angels when they gave into hatred" alain said with a little regret but his words cause mairin to gasp in fear, she knows the answer and she wished she didn't
"They turn into demons" mairin shockly mumbled while looking at serena who still sits near ash, she seems okay now she is just angry, extremely angry, while mairin was looking at her with afraid face alain nodded to her
"Exactly, we can't let her face to face with that jackal she will lose control, you stay here and support her, i'll help them!" alain said and ran outside at his full speed, mairin watched him as he does, when he dissappeared from the eyes, mairin turned back to serena, she can't become a demon can she?
"İ already lost my dad i'm not gonna lose another family!" Alain angryly mumbled while running outside to van, he never knew his mother, his dad ran away and ash is in some sort of coma, most of all serena is an angel like him, even he is an half-aspect alain sees serena as a sister and she and the others are the only ones he has left
................................................................
*********************************************************************************************************************
"This one is for ash!!!" Pikachu yelled as he shoot a massive a bolt of thunder at a black human-shaped jackal with red hair long and claws, he dodged it and shoot a dark pulse at pikachu
"AAAHHH" pikachu screamed in fear, he was in mid air so he can't dodge the pulse but suddenly a couple of swifts did it for him, pikachu looked down only to see sylveon and her hovering stars above her
"İ owe you one" pikachu shout at sylveon, she grinned
"Add it to the list" sylveon shout back and shoot the other swifts at zoroark which direct hit and create a smoke thay covered him, but zoroark jumped from the smoke and charged at sylveon with dark claws
"AHHH!" This time sylveon screamed in pain as she closed her eyes waiting for the impact but suddenly a sword clash sound vibrated around the factory, she opened her eyes to see pikachu's iron tail blcoking the dark claw
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!" Pikachu yelled in anger nd puhsd his tail along with the claw, this tossed both of them away from each other, then they ran to each other at full speed, crashing their bodies in middle
suddenly sylveon looked closer to zoroark's eyes they bright red
"He is mind controlled" sylveon shout at piackchı who's clashing tail with zoroark's dark claw
"Mind controlled?" Pikachu mumbled, last time they had a pretty tough time with mind controlling, but his thought gave zoroark the advantage he needed, he blast pikachu's chest with a shadow ball, this blast pikachu away and he roll on ground before hitting his back to a wall
"PİKACHU!" Sylveon yelled at zoroark and swipe zoroark with fairy wind, zoroark hit his back on a wall and stuck into wall because of the hard wings sylveon sends, zoroark tried to push himself but the wşnds were too strong, sylveon turned to pikachu
"Get him!!!" Sylveon shout to him and pikachu created a giant electroball i his tail and spin around at full force to throw it to zoroark, the ball impacts and zoroark fell on his knees
"Pound it" pikachu and sylveon paw-bumped when zoroak fel on ground, but suddenly zoroak's body begin to glow red as he crossed his arms to his stomach, collecting energy to unleash, pikachu's eyes wide opened
"WATCH OUT!" Pikachu jumpd and hit the ground with an iron tail which made one of the floor pavements raise up and blockt the bust of explosion from zoroark, unfortunetly the pavement was weak and cracked then explode, the radius made pikachu and sylveon roll on their back until they stopped and lay on the ground in bruises
Zoroark jumped at pikachu with dark claws, pikachu closed his eyes but suddenly zoroark saw a light arrow flew inches away from his face in slow motion, the arrow exploded and blast zoroark away from pikachu and sylveon, they turned their heads back where the arrow came from only to see alain hodling a light arrow in his gauntlet
"This is for ash!" alain said and shoot another arrow at zoroark, zoroark slashed the arrow in half but the 2 piece exploded as well, hurting zoroark again, alain attached another arrow
"This is for serena!" He said and shoot another, thşs time zoroark was too damaged to block or dodge the attack so the exploding arrow hit at him again, creating a bust of smoke that covers all around his body, alain keep shooting arrows
"For pikachu!....sylveon....mairin.....AND ME!" Alain said between the shootous of arrows, one by one all of them hit to zoroark and with each arrow that impacts, the smoke become bigger and bigger, alain attached 3 arrows at once and waited for smokes to clear, once it was zoroark was hardly standing on his feets, covered in bruises and wounds
Alain narrowed his eyes and shoot 3 arrows at once, the arrows turned into chains and wrapped zoroark's whole body, tip of the arrows stabbed to ground to stabilize him, after zoroark wasn't ale to move from the tighten of th chains, pikachu and sylveon slowly stood up and walked to him with alain
"We owe you pal" pikachu said while rubbing the bruise on his shoulder, alain grinned
"Add it to list, by the way i'm glad you 2 are okay" alain said with grin but with a small smile that can be seen, he was glad nothing bad happened to them because last thing they need is another injury to someone else from the team, alain aimed an arrow at zoroark, saw that he is still in his animal form not turned into a mist yet, suddenly
"Let...me...go!" Zoroark spoke, caused all 3 of them to gasp in shock
"You can talk?" Pikachu asked, zoroark nodded
"Yes i coud talk if i could beca-AAAARGH!!!" Zoroark tried to answer but endd up with a scream of pain with an electricity on his body, sylveon looked closer and saw his eye glowing red and turning back to normal with each scream
"You're been mind controlled, by who?" Sylveon asked, zoroark narrowed his when he mentioned mind controlling but more electricity hit trough his body, cause him to groan, alain panicked
"We can help you, whp controls you zeke?" Alain asked, zoroark's eyes wide opened when alain mentioned his real name, zeke, the knight in the story, he gain control but still the pain can be seen in his face
"Tall...orange hair and beard...wearing the demon...banisher" zoroark said between painful groans, as soon as they ward the last sentence they jaw dropped
"Demon banisher!" Pikachu almost shout, sylveon looked at him
"The last demon gauntlet?" She asked, but alain cut both of their conversation off with a yell
"WHERE İS THE BANİSHER?" Alain shout at zoroark, but suddenly
"RRRRAAAAAGHHH!!!" Zoroark screamed again, his eyes turned to red again and his body glowed red, creating buts ready to explode, alain's eyes wide opened
"DUCK!" He shout and pulled pikachu and sylveon on his back, then he shoot the ground with an arrow which covered themselves with a light shield, zoroark released the bust of explosion from his body and the shield barely stood up, but when the smokes and the breezes cleared, zoroark was nowhere to be seen, pikachu saueeze his fist and suddenly punched to ground
"Argh!, now how we will cure ash?" Pikachu groaned in anger, sylveon worried abkut his anger and hugged him with her ribbon arms, alain just looked at the skywindwo which was cracked, probably zoroark escaped from there, but he couldn't help but to wonder
"Demon banisher is belong to someone, that means we have 267 demons to stop, just how are we gonna do that all on our own?" he mumbled in anger and worry
...................................................................
****************************************************************************************************************
Serena fell in sleep with ash, he was laying on bed while she was using his chest as a pillow, the shirt ash's wear still wet from serena's tears, ash is the only thing and everyrhing and she loves him more than everything, she blames herself for leaving him alone if she wasn't so stupid to be a bit more serious she would've saved him
Serena slowly opened her eyes and saw ash's death skin and white eyes, when she slept she hoped this was all a nightmare, but it wasn't
"Ash, i'm so sorry" serena mumbled while slowly stroking his cheek, tears fell from her eyes
"İf you were dead, i would kill myself to be just with you in heaven, i could guide you, i could be your guardian angel" she cried while saying these, she begin lost all the hope she had, anger and regret fill the emptyness in her heart, "just like how you were mine when i exiled here" she added still shedding tears, she begin to feel something happening inside of her, all the anger and sadness begin to grow bigger and bigger, ash was the only thing that keeps her happy and conpany, without him serena was vulnerable from turning into a demon, and she begin to feel it, her body begin to glow in dark-purple, mists escaping from her but she hold them
"No, i'll not turn into one of them" serena said, her glowing slowly faded away, she gave a serious look to ash, "you're living in my heart and i'll not gonna let it corrupt, our memories will protect me" she added, tightening her grip in ash's hand, shedding tears on his hand as she talks, but suddenly she heard the window opening behind her, she turned back only to see a blue human jackal standing there
"YOU!!!" Serena telled with anger as she stood up, her wings opened in seconds and she gave the biggest angry and mad face she ever give in her entire life, but lucariou just extend his hands
"No wait-" lucario tried to exclaim but serena flew to him and grabbed him, flying out of the window, lucario tried to let go of her grip ash she flew above the building but she tossed her to roof of the hospital, lucario rolled on the ground but managed to re-gain his balance, serena still above him with light spheres glowing on her hand
"Wait. İ'm here to-" lucario tried to exclaim again but serena shoot her spheres at him with full anger, and lucario dodged them by jumping back and forth
"İ'LL KİLL YOU DEMON!!!, İ'L KİLL YOU ALL!!!, EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!!!" Serena was lost it, she keep blasting spheres at lucario, He barely managed to dodge some of them but ended up blasting one from his chest, serena's body begin to glow with dark-purple again, she begin to gave into hatret, the anger, begin to turn into a demon, this cause her to fell on ground
"NO!, i will not turn...for ash i...will stay as an angel!!!" Serena hardly stand up on her feet but pressing her head with her hands, trying to maintain control but she was too angry, another angel would've ended up turning into a demon already, lucario saw serena's holding up her transformation, this gave him perfect opportunity to attack but lucario just slowly tried to walk to her
"You need to listen to me i'm here to-" lucario tried to say but serena looked at him with eyes bright red, this gave lucario shiver
"STAY AWAY!!!" She yelled and she suddenly shoot a blast of beam light from her palms at lucario, lucario quickly draw a bone spear and blocked the beam but the beam was so powerful it blast lucario to edge of the roof, serena opened her palm and created a sphere to dinish of him once and for all but suddenly
"WAİT!" Lucario shout at serena and opened his paw, but it wasn't aimed at serena, it was aimed to nothing, he kneeled down and a blue small fireball appeared inside his palm, and serena's eyes wide opened and she begin to calm down as soon as she saw the fire
"Ash's aura!" Serena mumbled, he glows dissappeared and her red eyes faded, she turned into normal again, her eyes wide opened at lucario's paw
"İ'm here to bring you this" he said while slowly walking to her, but he was so damaged he could hardly walk, before he could trip serena quickly grabbed him, "here" he said as he strighten up and extending the small fire at serena, she picked it, it felt so light, like she was carrying nothing at all but she holds ash's aura inside her hands, she shocked and looked at lucario
"But why?" She asked to lucario who stands up on his feet, putting his paw on his shoulder
"We are controlled by someone, he owns the demon banisher, me and other 99 demon that escaped from the gauntlet and he controls us all" lucario gasped, serena looked at ash's aura and leaned her hands closer to her heart, lucario gave a smile, "but your friend called me aaron, nobody called me that in ages, he tried to help me, and i want to help him" he added while walking to edge of the roof again, but in a better condicion this time, serena looked at him
"Thank you, you gave me my love back" serena shout at lucario, hugging ash's aura even closer, she shed a tear on it, he looked back
"İ need to go, i feel his hold on me is getting stronger, but know this, when the time comes i will be honoured to fight alongside with you" lucario said and jumped out of the hospital roof, serena wacthed him jumping from roftop to rooftop and dissappearing from eyes, once he did she looked at the small blue fireball between her palms again
"Maybe There is hope after all" she mumbled, with a small smile on her face
.....................................................................
**************************************************************************************************************
"Come back to me ashy" she said while releasing the small blue fire inside her palms, the fire flew to ash's chest and siphoned inside of it, she pressed her palms together hoped that he will wake up but he didn't
She bowed her head, she closed her eyes, tears escaped feom them but suddenly
"S-serena?" Her eyes wide opened as soon as she heard ash's voice, she raised her head only to see ash slowly straighten up, "what's up?" Ash asked with a small smile, but-
"ASH!" Serena let out a scream of joy and jumped on him, they both fell on bed, serena is on top of ash, before ash could asked about what happened, serena kissed him furiously, digging tongue inside of her mouth, as ash did the same and their tongue's danced in the middle, after minutes of making love they pulled back for lack of air, "i missed you, i missed you so much, sorry about letting you down i will never forgive myself" she added while stroking his chest, using his shoulder as a pillow, ash hugged her
"İ forgive you, i was never mad at you in the first place" ash answered, cause her to shed tears of happiness, soaking his shoulder with her tears but ash keep hugging her, she buried her head on his chest while ash strokes her back and carresses her hair
"İ love you serena"
"İ love you too ash"
