Two Roads one Choice (Last Preview)
"Oh my god this line is so fucking longgggg!"Brandongroaned as he brought his hands behind his head and groaned into the sunny clear afternoon. It was at last the day of the big fighting tournament, fighters from all around the world, Pokémon and humans, some look old, old, many very young, a little older thenBrandon, but young all the same. Tundra and Twilight had come as his cheerleaders as the put, having called ahead of time; the human was allowed to bring his friends or family into his fighting room. The large dome, which was built over six years ago held close to a hundred different changing rooms that would be used for each fighter though already there were fights going on, so that there would be no shortage when it came for someone needing them.Brandonwore the same suit that was given by his sister Alice, the two since the fight for the Gym badge, told stories of their pasts and what they had done, though there was one story he did not wish to tell, two if you counted what his father did to him; that was how their mother died. He just couldn't bring himself to relive that past, he already did in his nightmares, and those were bad enough. No, for now, his mind was sent on the Pokémon Human Fighting Tournament, one that he was going to win the prize money for his growing family.
"You need to claim downBrandon." Tundra told him while holding is shoulders and rubbing them causing him to sigh softly. Both hers and Twilights belly had grown a bit, not that much for Twilight since her belly was always round,Brandongot a slap in the head for saying that out loud. But Tundra's was easily seen growing. "I know you antis about this fighting thing, but you need to claim yourself."
"I know...I know," he patted her claw as he looked up at her and then Twilight. "I just...this money could help us out in the long run you know?"
"Yeah it could." Twilight answered with a nod. "I wish I could join as well," Twilight answered with a nod. "I mean, I have grown stronger. And there no way some of these humans can beat a flying type!"
"There are rules you know,"Brandonsated as he looked to her. "If a Pokémon joins and they can fly, they can not fly in battle, only four attacks can be used, like for me, I can use Aura Spare, Aura Force, and Aura Sword. Since I don't have a forth move, if I'm knocked out, I can use that extra space to get back in the fight, but only once."
"That sucks," Twilight muttered asBrandonlaughed slightly.
"Yeah it does, and I'm sure you would've kicked their asses anyway." More cheers where heard as another fight had come to a end, the line moving a bit faster, but not fast enough.
"Well, well, well...long time no seeBrandon."
The human's body tensed and became as cold as ice, every hair on his neck stood on end, his eyes growing wide as he heard the voice of someone he never thought he would hear again. Slowly his head craned to the left to see if by any chance that whoever was talking, was not who he thought it was; but oh was it ever. Standing before him was a very large Sceptile, it was larger then most of his own kind, when almost all would be a height of five foot seven, this one was easily six foot eight. The leaves on the arms seemed to be much sharper then he last remembered, his eyes pricing yellow as he gave a snarling smile at the human who baked away slightly. The red line along his belly looked as red as blood, the long leaf behind his back serving as a tail.Brandonbreathing quickened, his hands becoming sweaty, his eyes darting along his body blinking them open and closed as he prayed this was not real; but it was.
"Brandon?" Tundra asked looking at him. "What's wrong, do you know him?"
"Oh we know each other much well...don't we Brandon?" he grinned crossing his arms again. "You know...I remember those scars I gave you being a little deeper."
"You?!" Twilight snarled at once moving ahead of her mate. "You were the one that caused these scars?!"
"Oh yes," the Pokémon answered, though speaking in the human tongue since he was taught so as a young Treeco. "And I was the one to first take that little flesh of bones ass cherry." He snickered licking his claws slightly. "Remember how I made you beg me to fuck you harder, and you cried and cried and begged and begged! You were nothing more then a slut to us, a whore to be beaten when we got bored."
"You monster," growled Tundra as she got ready to attack as the Pokémon raised a claw finger.
"Uh, uh, uh," he said wagging the finger back and forth. "Fighting before you are sighed up that you are even here, or when not in the arena can caused the one who started it to be kicked out." he then smiled wider. "Even the fighter's mates." Tundra growled deepened even more asBrandonjust stood transfixed on him as the Pokémon smiled. "Well? Are you going to introduce me to your mates, or do I have to bring one other man out first?"
"A...another?" whisperedBrandonand then backed away more as someone else from his past came into view.
The man stood close to Sceptile, his long brown hair slowly growing white of age, as well as the bread that he grew under his nose and along his chin. An eye patches over his left eye, hiding a scar he once gotten in a fight long ago. His only good eye was as red as blood. Though he was much older thenBrandon, he still had the body of a young man, fit and toned.
"So his name wasBrandonhuh?"Brandonflinched at his rough voice as he shook his head and backed away more. "Hrm should've asked before slitting his mother's throat." Both dragons Pokémon looked toBrandonas his head was leaning down, his body then shaking, his fist clutched. "I mean look at this piece of shit, not even looking at us like he is..."Brandonlost it then. Screaming he ran toward them his eyes wide with rage as something strong grabbed him. He didn't look back at all, screaming like a mad man as the grey arms held him tightly back as Alice walked up beside Mewtwo to try and claim her brother, when that didn't work Tundra and Twilight came as well, trying to hold him back as Alice glared at the two men. The other fighters didn't give too much what was going on, with all the noise; they barely heard what was being said.
"You two better leave right now or I'll deal with you myself!"Alicewarned in a deep voice. "Since we don't have proof of what you've done, I won't call the cops."
"My, myAlice, how you've grown!" Sceptile laughed clapping his hands together. "I' so gald you remember dear old Uncle Eldor!"
"You are no longer someone I would call family Eldor,"Alicespat on the ground before him. "Last warning, leave!"
"Tsk, whatever, be sure to tell the ass bitch that we'll be fighting him sooner or later!" and with that they turned and started to walk away.
"I'll kill you both!" screamedBrandonat the top of his lungs. "I'll fucking cut your throats and then crush your skulls beneath my feet! By the name of Arceus, I.WILL.KILL.YOU!"
It took a while, but at last with the help of Mewtwo's powers, they were able to claimBrandondown, but he was so broken, so warned, that he was nothing but a crying mess. Somehow he held his rage long enough to get pass into the fighting dome, and once in his room with the others; he just broke down. Over and over again between sobs he would mutter that he would kill them, speaking to himself how he would do it, if he would make the pain short or very long. Tundra and Twilight tried their best to get their mate to stop talking such evil things, but when they thought back to what those men did, they would look at each other and they would know, they had to pay for their dues.
"I say we letBrandonkill them," Mewtwo spoke for the first time breaking the quiet save forBrandon's rambles. "After all they put him though, the pain they given him; I say we releaseBrandonon them."
"Yes but do you forget," Tundra growled poking a claw finger in his chest. "If he kills someone, for any reason, he will be put to jail; our hatchlings will have to see their father's though a jail glass window!"
"I could easily make everyone here forget what they saw Tundra," he answered with the roll of his eye. "I mean, I have done it many, many times before."
"But they still feel as if they remember something right?" she questioned as Mewtwo sighed.
"Yes that is true, but few only truly remember."
"But there is that chance that someone will!" she growled again. "I don't care, he will not kill them, I won't allow it!"
"Oh?" mused Mewtwo. "And what if this human goes and kills another mother, or in fact that damn Eldor goes and rapes more kids? Do you want that to happen?!"
"Well no I..."
"Then they have to be killed you stupid bitch!"
"Enough! Both of you!" the two turned to seeAlicestanding beside her brother glaring at them hard. This is no way to try and help someone by telling them to kill someone Mewtwo, yes I know they should be killed for what they've done, but murder is not the answer!"
"I hate to say it," Twilight spoke up then. "But maybe Mewtwo is right...maybe we should just let what happens happen, maybe Bandon should just kill them, and then make whoever saw...forget."
"Twilight..." the green dragon gasped as she went on.
"You know as well as I do that some nights he is tormented by the nightmares he gets for what the Pokémon of his past did, and what this human men did...maybe him killing them...will cleanse his soul of these nightmares."
Tundra looked back atBrandon, his head down not looking at them as she went over and hugged him to her body.
"If you want him to kill them...then you'll have to go though me," she gave them each a death glare. "I don't care what you think is best, this is not the way to do it!"
Twilight and Mewtwo turned to each other, they didn't want to kill these two, Mewtwo easily could, but they knew, this was something Brandon had to do; this was a fight Brandon had to fight. Though Tundra did somewhat agree with them, that these two needed to be killed, she was not about to risk ruining the human's life just for some pride.
"What I don't understand," Twilight went on. "Why wasBrandonso scared of Eldor and not of Blaze?" she looked down at her mate as he was still looking down, his eyes now being seen as they were closed twitching under his eyelids. "I mean...Blaze did rape him as well right?"
"I saw the mind of Eldor for a few moments," Mewtwo answered sitting down beside Alice who was still holdingBrandon's hand. "Like he said, those scars were given toBrandonby him, and that the fact thatBrandonlooked up to him the most, it's only makes sense thatBrandonwould fear him the most."
"Well we can't letBrandonfight while he is in this sort of sate!"Alicespoke looking around.
"I will fight..." they all looked down to seeBrandonstanding up. "I will fight...and I will kill them both..."
"Brandon..." Tundra gasped as his body shook.
"They took everything from me!" he screamed and punched a wall so hard it dented. "I will kill them!"
"That is not what our Master taught us Brandon."
Everyone's head jerked to the door, to see a Pokémon standing there. His voice was deep and rough, a scar over his right eye and over his muzzle; the eye closed. His left eye opened to show that his eyes were red.Brandoneyes grew wide as he looked to the Pokémon and then brought a fist to his palm and bowed slightly as the others looked to him in confusion.
"M...Master Lucario!" he said while bowing. "What are you doing here?" the mixture of yellow blue and black walked in as he placed a spiked paw on Brandon shoulder, making him look up at one of his old teachers in the way of fighting and Aura. His soften eyes madeBrandonlook away, knowing that he had heard what the human had vowed.
"I have come to join this fighting as well." He answered. "I also heard that you have two mates, each with child, I am happy for you." He turned to Tundra and Twilight. "I am guessing you two are it?" they both nodded as he looked back toBrandon. "What did our Master tell us beforeBrandon? What did he always tell us about killing?"
"But Master...they..."
"Answer the question my student." He demanded in a stern voice asBrandonflinched while everyone else watched asBrandonstruggled to say.
"That no life should be killed by our hands or paws." The Lucario nodded while makingBrandonlook at him.
"Do you wish to shame our Master's death by killing the human and Pokémon?"
"Shame him...never, but..."
"I understand the pain you feelBrandon, I still remember what you told us when you and Tundra first came to our home, almost to the point of death since you had nothing to eat."Alice, Mewtwo and Twilight looked fromBrandonto Tundra who didn't look at them. "You have grown powerful, this is true. But you still lack the will to use your powers for good."
"What do you mean?!"Brandonnearly screamed. "I have used my powers and skill for good, I helped many lives!"
"But these also causing harms to the one you are saving them from."Brandonlooked away as Lucario sighed. "Brandon, I wish for you to tell your friends and family on how you came to be my student, maybe you telling the story will allow you to think more clearly, and I would like to offer you a two, two choices." He raised a furry finger. "The first, you can kill these human and Pokémon with the skill our Master taught us, how to crush someone neck by making it look like it was done by mistake. If you do this, I will revoke you as my student, and never will you be allowed to step foot on the grave of our Master."Brandonlooked up slightly shocked. "Or...you let them live, I will find the proof you need to prove these two caused harm to you, I will give them to the police the moment I see that you let them live. These proofs will make sure they pay for their crimes, they will never harm another life again." He turned but then stopped and went inside the fur of his chest pulling out a small blue box and handing it to Brandon. "A gift from our Master he wished to give you before he passed on." And then, like that; he was gone.
