Chapter 8: Why The Good Always Suffer...1/3
" Okay, I need some sleep." said Seje as they waited in their camp-base-thingy.
"Night, Seje-kun!" Kuri called, making him blush lightly and go in his tent.
"[Sigh] He's so dreamy..." she said afterwards, making Kora look shocked at her.
"Kuri, you like Seje-kun?" Koraru said to her sister, said person smiling.
"Yes. He's so commanding and cute and dangerous and dark and...MMPH!" she described, hugging herself.
"I know", Kora added, getting a dollar from her two cents put in,"Why don't I get you guys together?"
"I dunno; he might not like me..." Kuri trailed off, looking sad.
"Nonsense! He likes everyone!" Kora said encouragingly.
"Does he?" Kuri asked her.
"Yep! :D He even let Luke kiss him on the lips without rejecting him. I still gotta get them together!" Kora said in response.
"So, you're gonna try and get me with him? Even though he has another admirer waiting on him, too?" Kuri summed up, not really the sharing type.
"Yep! A cute three-way!" Kora replied.
"I dunno know about that..." Kuri said dejectedly. Kora rubbed her shoulder in a plight to cheer Kuri up.
"Don't worry; I'm sure it'll work out!" Kora exclaimed.
"You better, or I'll tell Chris about your little problem..." Kuri said threateningly, making Kora go red in the face.
"Okay okay! I will just don't tell him!" she cried, making Chris look at her.
"What'chu talking about Kora?" he said, making Kora get nervous.
"N-no-thing, Ch-hris-kun..." Kora said before going into her tent.
"Well, that was weird." Chris concluded before going in his own tent.
"Hey! Where do I sleep?!" Kuri yelled after realizing she didn't have one...
The Next Day...
"I smell strawberries..." Seje said in his sleep, not aware that Kuri was sleeping right ON him.
"Yes Seje-kun... I want chocolate everywhere..." she mumbled.
'Can you go faster? I want more of it...' mumbled Luke as he slept next to Seje in his sleeping bag.
Suddenly, Seje's and Luke's noses were active, making them jolt.
"I smell high-end explosives." Seje concluded, getting out of his sleeping bag, much to Kuri's displeasure.
'We need to move.' Luke said, gathering everything in the tent up, making Kuri confused.
"What's going o-?" Was all she said beofre the outside of the tent exploded, throwing them backwards.
"What's happening Seje-kun?!" Kuri said frantically, looking around the same way.
"We're under attack." Seje simply said, going in his 'A-6' form.
"By who?" she asked.
"[Sniff, Sniff] Bandits." he replied, heading out the tent flap.
"Should we go help him?" she asked Luke.
'Nah, he got this. This is Seje we're talking about... Handsome and lovely Seje...' Luke trailed off, drool coming out of his mouth.
"You're drooling." Kuri said to the day-dreaming Luke, who promptly jolted and wiped it off. Another explosion sounded off, making them look at the entrance, where a shadow was approaching creepily.
"Uh-oh..." Kuri trailed off as she hid behind Luke, who had primed a Thunder Punch if the intruder enters. The tent opened, revealing to be a rouge Trainer.
"Come out with your hands-!" he was only able to say that before being pulled out of the tent entrance, gurgles of the painful kind are heard as stabbing was seen on the side of the tent. Kuri and Luke stare scared the assailant finishes her stabbing session.
The dress she was wearing billows in the wind as the unknown woman stood up. She looked at the tent and walked around to the front of the tent, making Luke tenses as a knife was seen in her hand.
The tent opened, revealing to be a woman with Chinese-American descent. A red dress adorned her form all the way down to her ankles. A magazine strap was kept in place around her shoulder and breasts, making them stick out. A grappling-hook-shooter was on her hip outta the way. She was wearing high-heels like it was a dance.
Luke, never seeing this woman before, said, 'Who are you?', priming a Thunder Punch.
"You really don't recognize me Luke?" the mysterious woman questioned, raising an eyebrow. Luke noticed that her left arm was bleeding black.
'What's wrong with your arm?' he asked, concerned as to why she was taking notice to her arm injury.
"Luke, you know me better than this." she said in response, stepping in the tent. Luke's mood went from concerned to hostile in a span of two-point-two seconds of this.
'Back away or I'll punch you very hard.' he said, cocking his fist back.
"Luke, you're really making me irritated." the woman said, crossing her arms at him.
'And how do you know who I am?' he said angrily at the woman in red.
"Seje told me." the woman said smirking, unknowingly sparking hatred in Kuri and Luke. They glared at her now as she stepped closer.
'Back away before I kill you.' Luke said in a dark tone, making the woman stop in her tracks.
"Luke, are you serious right now?" the woman said, a little edge in her tone.
"He said back away, bitch!" Kuri snapped, baring her teeth at the woman in red.
"Excuse me? I don't know why you two are acting like this. But, it needs to stop, the others are injured and they may-." But Luke had had enough of the woman's voice and punched her outta the tent. Luke stormed out, Kuri stalking after him as they saw the outside.
It was a battlefield out there. The woman had landed in one of many craters before she got up. The trees were either burned, shooken up, or destroyed as the surrounding forest was a desolate area. Chris was leaning on a tree, holding his left arm as it was littered with cuts. Kora was near him, trying her Healing Hands and wondering why they weren't working. She was fine, compared to Sin, who was nearly unconscious. He was next to a crater, on his knee as he panted heavily from what transpired earlier. Seje was nowhere to be seen, making Luke and Kuri fear the worst.
'WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM?!' Luke screamed, charging the mystery woman, who was still dazed.
"I...didn't do anything, Luke..." she said, dizzy from the collision to the ground.
'LIES! WHERE IS SEJE?!' he screamed, getting the other's attention.
"Luke...what are you doing...?" Sin said, barely standing.
'THIS BITCH IS GONNA PAY!' Luke responded, cocking his fist back, which was on fire from his Fire Punch.
"Wai-." Was all the woman said before she was punched back to the ground, dress singed where the contact was made.
" 'WHERE IS SEJE?!' " he and Kuri said loudly for the woman to hear articulately.
"I'm right ...here..." she said in response, making the angry duo pissed.
'NO YOU'RE NOT! SEJE DOESN'T TURN INTO A WOMAN!' Luke said back, punching the woman in her wound, making her scream out in pain.
"Yes I am..." the woman painfully replied, clenching her teeth and such.
"What are you doing Luke? That's Seje-kun!" Kora yelled, Luke shaking his head in denial.
'NO! I KNOW SEJE ISN'T A WOMAN! I KNOW HE ISN'T!' he said.
"Why...don't you...test 'her'...then...?" Sin panted, on his last legs.
'Fine... What is the title to me and Seje's happy dance song?' he said growling at the 'woman'. No one ever got this right and never will, but what she did was...
She smiled with blood on the corner of her lips and said, "Ring Around The Rosies...[Cough] A Pocket Ful Of-[Cough Cough] Posies... Ashes...Ashes...We All Fall...Down..." The woman, now identified as Seje, passed out singing the last note of their Happy Dance song, making Luke feel horrible about himself.
'Oh no...nononoNONO!' he cried out, tears leaking from his eyelids as he realized his mistake.
"Calm down Luke; you didn't know..." Kuri said comfortingly.
'Look at what I did!' he cried, eyes puffy already as the guilt began to control his actions.
"Most of that wasn't even your fault!" Kora said, putting in her two cents and getting a $500 dollar cash card for groceries.
'But I hurt him worse!' Luke countered, looking at Seje's body as he laid there unconscious.
"Those bandits...are the cause..." Sin said, catching Luke's attention.
'W-wh-what?' he stuttered, looking at the Assassin.
"Those bandits used some sort...of chemical on his...wound...preventing him from changing back...to his regular form and permanently keeping him in the form he was...currently in..." Sin elaborated tiredly and painfully.
'But what happened to you guys?' Luke asked, thought returning to the non-panicking kind of the artificial persuasion.
"Chris-kun got sneak-attacked while Sin-kun fended off the bandits' Pokemon. They got Chris good with their guns and Sin got hurt pretty bad by some Tyranitars. Seje fought the bandits away from my tent." Kora explained, making Luke look at her and see her relatively fine.
'What about you?' Luke asked Koraru.
"I was in my tent the whole time. They didn't come for me 'cause of Chris-kun." she said, making Luke nod in understanding.
'But who were they?' he asked, making Kora cringe.
"It...was...some of Nick Sayre's old followers..." she said, making the atmosphere get tense at the subject.
"But I thought that all of his followers were dead; not to mention that the old Champion said that he was Judged by Arceus herself." Kuri said, having faced the Sinnoh Champ after the Nick Sayre incident a couple years back.
"No... his followers never all died... there were...still some that thought he was in the...right of things..." Sin said.
"That's horrible..." Kora and Chris said together. Seje grunted in pain, but otherwise didn't get up, dashing Luke's and Kuri's hopes of his awakening.
"What do we do now?" Kuri asked, looking amongst the Guardians.
"We...keep...moving...get Seje to Arceus..." Sin said tiredly.
"But we'd have to be in Sinnoh!" Kuri countered, Luke nodding in grave agreement.
"We...can still...go... I just have to...use my signal..." Sin said, slowly reaching around for his pack.
"What signal?" Kora asked Sin as he pulled out a cube of blackness unbound.
"It's for...Darkrai...if I ever get...lost in the ...shadows..." Sin said, activating the signal, the cube beeping a black color.
"Is this gonna hurt?" Kuri nervously questioned as the cube's pulsing was actually the energy for a portable black hole.
"If you struggle..." Sin said vaguely, getting sucked in the black hole cube of darkness. The others followed one by one, until it was only Seje left to go. He was dragged painfully on the ground towards the cube, seething in unconscious pain the whole while. Soon, he finally made it, the cube disappearing with him as he left...
