"Jared... You're too shit-faced to do anything." Magnus told his taller friend. "No offense, but I'm afraid you'll cock things up and accidentally hurt yourself. Go back to your hotel room and have a lie down. You need it. Alan and I can handle this without you."

The group arrived back at the Hotel. Magnus unlocked his room with his Card Key, and opened the door. He saw Dani lying on the bed with a bored look on her face, which cheered up when she saw Magnus and the rest enter the room.

"Maggie, you're back! How was the-" She stopped, seeing Magnus's state of being. "Maggie, is something wrong?"

"What? Oh, hi Dani." Magnus said, taking his knife from the counter and strapping it to his belt. He opened up a drawer and pulled out a shoulder strap, the kind a gun would go into, and placed it around himself. Then, reaching deeper into the drawer, he pulled out his handgun.

Brandon walked up to his room in the hotel and noticed that Magnus was back. "Hey, how was...the...party." Brandon trailed off seeing his friends face. "What happened?" He asked, but before anyone could speak he said "Never mind, I don't want know. I'll find out sooner than I like anyway. Just tell me where we're going."

"Mag! I've did more things drunk then most people have done sober!" Jared protested, although now he didn't even believe it. But still in the semi-coherent part of his brain he was trying to work out everything he heard.

OK so since Magnus isn't thinking let's...ugh god that Jager's still hanging....let's think about this. Whoever did this as obviously done this before, prefers to stay away from his target, probably a hired gun or something by the Rockets. Now if he is trying to stay out of sight, he's not going to go for one of these fancy hotels, probably wants something a little more run down, but close enough to our hotel that he knew where Aari and Mag's room was. Probably one of the strip motels nearby. Maybe I should do some investigating down there.

"You know wha? Fine Mag! You don't want me running with ya, I'll go somewhere else!" Jared was shouting this at no one in particular as Magnus had already moved on, but Jared left the building and ambled his way down the main boulevard.

Man first that Heather chick disappeared, then Ashley and now Aari. The females in our group have a nasty habit of being snuffed out. If I was Dani, I'd be taking out a good life insurance policy right now.

jeffery continued to stir in his hospital bed trying to pass the time by playing rock paper scissors with lucario, his and Rodney's pokemon pacing around the room in an attempt to guard him should the assassin try anything.

"damn how do you keep on winning" lucario said as he pulled away his hand disappointed that he lost another game.

"because I`m awesome" jeffery replied with a smile on his face he then turned to chompers and asked him what was happening with the rest of the group.

feral,fer fer,feral.... "they`re not doing too well as can be expected they`re pretty shook up" chompers replied, lucario opened his mouth to interpret but jeffery shushed him.

"don`t bother yourself lucario I can understand him, well then I`d best see what I can do then" jeffery said trying to get up but the hospital staff had immobilized his arm and tied it down preventing him from getting up.

"you did`nt tell em to do that did you" jeffery asked lucario.

"no they did it themselves and trust me not like you were using your arm anyway" lucario said his arms crossed, leaning against the wall not taking his eyes off the door.

"well that`s good,wonder when they`ll put me in surgery to extract this damn arrowhead" jeffery wondered looking at his arm and almost on cue two doctors came to take jeffery into surgery they loaded him onto another gurney and wheeled him off into the surgery room lucario ran alongside them looking over jeffery as they put him under letting him fade away into a deep sleep they finally got to the surgery room lucario stopping outside the doors.

"I swear to god they had better not kill him....that`s my job" lucario let out a small chuckle before he began to guard the door making sure nobody shifty got in.

I`l be away for about five days at friends house so this is my way of keeping me "off screen" for a while

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Magnus walked up to the front desk, his gun hidden beneath a vest.

"Excuse me, Miss." Magnus asked the girl behind the front desk politely. "I'm looking a couple of friends of mine. Would you mind telling me their room number?"

"I'm sorry... I'm really not supposed to give out that information." She said apologetically.

"Fine..." Magnus said, with a hint of anger in his voice. "I'll just knock on every single door in this hotel. I'll tell all those people I wake up that it's your fault for not telling me how to find the people I'm looking for."

The girl looked worried for a moment, something like this would threaten her job.

"Alright... Who exactly are you looking for?" She asked, not wanting complaints filed against her.

"A newlywed couple, by the names of Lucille and Kristoph... I don't know their last name unfortunately."

"Right... Here we go. Kristoph and Lucille. They're in suite 8B... Please don't tell my manager I told you this."

"I wouldn't think of such a thing. Here, let me give you something for being so helpful..." Magnus slipped a twenty-dollar bill onto the counter, and walked away.

Magnus met up with Alan and Brandon in the hall again. They boarded the elevator, and rode to the eighth floor. Just down the hall from the elevator, Suite 8B was there, waiting. Magnus called out Quillz, and had her ready to knock the door down.

"We go on my mark..." Magnus said quietly. There was a 'Do Not Disturb' sign hanging from the doorknob, which he was going to ignore.

 

[revolverwolf]

Throughout the entire trip back Alan could tell Magnus was about to do something he would regret. He couldn't blame him either. His girlfriend was just murdered. On his birthday, no less. But Alan was afraid that Magnus could be acting irrationally.

"Wait a sec Magnus." Alan interrupted Magnus before he could finish his next order. "We can't just smash into a room and ruin their honeymoon can we?"

 

[sage42]

"We can, it's just a matter of 'should we'." Brandon said. "Personally I don't have a problem with it."

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"If you have a problem with it, Alan..." Magnus said. "You don't have to follow me in. I'm not going to kill them... I'm not even going to hurt them unless they don't tell me what I want to know."

Magnus paused for a moment, and then addressed his friends.

"You don't think I'm thinking clearly, do you?"

"Well... I'm just saying..." Alan said slowly. "That maybe you're acting on your loss, and this might not be the best thing to do."

"You're right... It's not the best thing to do." Magnus agreed. "But it's what I want to do, it's what I need to do, and it's what I'm going to do. Quillz... Knock down the door."

Quillz knocked the door open and Kristoph's Luxray pounced at them. Magnus had prepared for this possibility, and Reynard beamed from his pokeball, and stopped Luxray mid-air with his Extrasensory.

"This is a suite... So there's different rooms." Magnus said to himself. He heard voices and movement coming from the bedroom, and pushed the door open.

"Holy Fuck!" Lucille yelped when Magnus barged in on them mid-coitus. "What the fuck are you... Oh shit!"

"Fuck all, you're still alive!" Kristoph yelled, his arms bound to the bedposts. "Shit, you're pissed, aren't you?"

Magnus grabbed Lucille by the back of the neck, and pinned her to the ground, Alan and Brandon looking on in slight shock. They had never seen Magnus in this way... None of them had. In fact, Magnus hadn't been this way for a few years... and it felt good to be back.

"Now..." Magnus said, darkly. His voice laced deeply with a lust for blood and vengeance. "I'm going to let go of your neck... and you're going to answer my questions."

 

[NeoAC]

Jared was still at it. He had found a fellow reveller along his trek on the boulevard, providing fresh beverage, and he was on his way back towards the hotel he was supposed to stay away from.

"Todd, man, are you sure you're staying at that hotel, looks pretty ritzy man." Jared managed to get out while downing some imported Keith's.

"No man! It's all cool!" Jared's new drinking buddy explained. "Me and the bros rented out a suite in this place. They were gonna give that money to the Symphony, but we figured we could spend it better!"

"Schweet! Let's get up there and get more booze!"

Todd made his way up to the counter, and scooped up his key, having decided to make sure it would be at the hotel when he returned.

"Here we go man, Suite 8A, it's awesome!"

"Let's get up there then!"

Jared and his new friend headed for the elevator, and begun their accent.

 

[revolverwolf]

This wasn't Magnus. This was some pent up rage that he'd built up over the years and unleashed. Magnus might have deserved some justice. But not like this. This was well beyond sense.

Alan wanted to do anything he could do to stop Magnus at this point. He wanted to charge and rip him away from that woman and try to return him to regularity. But he knew Magnus would simply become more irrational and angry once he did so Alan balled his hands into fists and waited for his opportunity.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Get up Lucille... and tell me where this bastard is." Magnus told her angrily. "If you don't talk, I'm sure that the police would be more than happy to have a pair of Rocket Executives in custody... especially family of 'The Boss'..."

"This is a new light for you kid... Blackmail, vengeance... Very dark. It's interesting coming from you."

"Get talking you miserable ****... I don't have all evening."

"Don't talk to her like that, you little bastard!" Kristoph shouted, pulling himself loose from the scarves that tied him to the bed.

"Quillz... keep him from interfering." Quillz turned to Kristoph and sat atop him. He let out a groan and struggled underneath her weight.

"Alright... You've got us in an ultimatum." She took a breath and began to explain. "We called in to my brother once we realized you all were here. My brother works fast... and that night, we made contact with the Hitman. We gave him photographs of your group members, and told him him that you were a primary target... You, and that boy with the Feraligatr."

Magnus clenched his fists, waiting for her to finish her explanation.

"Go on..." He said.

"I wouldn't know where he is now... But, odds are he is going to be following you. With what we're paying him... I'd be surprised if he isn't keeping track of one of you right now."

"I'm guessing it's too late to call him off, though..." Kristoph said. "This is the type of guy who takes it personally if he can't finish a job, or if he misses a target."

Magnus thought about what was said for half a second before getting up, and walking towards the door.

"Quillz, return." He said, calling back Quillz to her pokeball. "Ryu, Thunder Wave."

His Dragonair beamed from his Safari Ball, and sent out a wave of electricity, stunning Lucille and Kristoph. Magnus left the room, Alan and Brandon following him, and put the door back to how it was, firmly closed with the 'Do not Disturb' sign still hanging from the door.
Magnus stood silently, and that's all he did... All he could do.

[HEADING=1]End of Chapter 12[/HEADING]

[HEADING=1]Chapter 13: Nice to Know You.[/HEADING]

Magnus walked somberly away from the suite which Lucille and Kristoph were in, and descended the stairs to his own floor. He entered his room, where Dani was sitting, obviously worried, and put away his knife, gun, and pokeballs.

"Maggie... are you okay?" Dani asked concernedly. She asked Alan and Brandon: "Is he okay, guys?"

"I'm not really sure... He doesn't seem himself" Alan remarked quietly to her.

"Guys..." Magnus said, his voice beginning to crack from strain. "I'm going to have to ask you guys to leave. I need to be alone right now."

"Are you sure, Maggie?" Dani chimed in.

"Yeah Magnus..." Brandon agreed. "I don't think that-"

"GET OUT!" Magnus yelled at the top of his lungs, forcing the three of them to leave.

 

[Shapsters]

Dani's lip quivered as she jumpped off the bed and shuffled out of the room, she managed to hold back her tears but she was close to crying, "Why is Maggie doing this, did something happen? He was always so nice to me, I didn't think he would yell at me like that, only horrible people talk to me like that!"

 

[sage42]

"Don't worry Dani," Brandon said putting a hand on her shoulder. "He just lost someone he loved. I would be the same way."

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Magnus was in a fit. Having managed to make it into his room, he finally snapped. Once his friends had left, he began immediately trying to destroy everything in the room. He overturned the couch, he desheeted the bed, he upended a small armchair against the wall... He generally fucked things up.

"WHY?!...WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!" He screamed until his voice went hoarse. He collapsed on the floor, sobbing in misery. Just twelve hours ago he had been the happiest man on the planet. Now, he was among the most downtrodden. He felt as if a piece of his soul and been torn from his body, and was now being beaten, insulted, and worse.

Magnus was once again overcome, and threw one more item across the room. This time, it was the belt on which his pokeballs hung. As the belt struck the wall, the button on one of the pokeballs was pushed, releasing the Pokemon inside it in a beam of blue light, the kind that signified a Pokemon whose Trainer was letting it go.

"Vaporeon..."

It was Eon. The tiny purple Vaporeon landed on Magnus's bed, and sat staring at him with a confused and innocent look. The little thing had no clue Aari was dead, had no clue what had occured. All Eon knew was that he had been let go from his pokeball, and was staring at Magnus.

"Eon..." Magnus sniffed, partially wiping his tears away. He sat down on the bed beside the little Vaporeon. He was suddenly aware that Eon had no Trainer, no one to care for him. Eon was barely two weeks old, he needed someone to watch over him. Magnus grabbed his belt, and pulled out another Pokeball. It was Reynard's this time... Whom he called out onto the bed.

"Vulpix... Vulpix?" Magnus... Eon?"

"Reynard..." Magnus said through a cracked voice. "Eon needs you now... You're his father... He doesn't have anyone else."

"Vulpix, Vulpix Vul." You're wrong, he has you.

"Reynard..." Magnus sniffled, and looked at the infant Pokemon. He picked Eon up and cradled him in his arms. He realized that not only did Eon need him... He needed Eon. Eon was the one thing that connected him with Aari, even after her death. If he had Eon, he and Aari would never be truly separated... As cheesy as that sounded to him. It sounded cheesier than a fondue pot at a Swiss wedding, but it was true.

Magnus grabbed the two empty pokeballs from nearby. With the first, he returned Reynard into his hold. With the second, he tapped it on the sleeping Eon in his arms. The ball shook only once... Then became still. Eon had accepted Magnus as his Trainer... as his parent.

Jeff was wheeled out of surgery still on a gurney lucario looked up from his half-sleeping state to run alongside with him.

"so how was the surgery" lucario asked one of the surgeons.

"well we did all we could, that arrowhead was in there pretty deep but he should be expected to make a full recovery within two days or so as long as he does`nt do anything crazy to aggravate the injury" the surgeon replied.

lucario faceplam`d "well then looks like he`s screwed, well when can he leave" lucario asked.

"probably in about an hour or two we just needs to get some sleep and some injections to avoid any infections" the surgeon again replied pushing the gurney with jeffery on it rushing past Rodney`s pokemon even accidentally running over speedy's tail and dumping jeffery onto his bed lucario ran in soon after.

"feels good not to have my arm tied up anymore...get enough of that regularly" jeffery laughed as he stretched out his arm. "so when can I leave" Jeff asked lucario.

"the doc said in about an hour or two they just recommended that you get a little bit more rest and some.... lucario said trailing off at the end of his sentence.

"some, what?" jeffery asked.

"some....[sup]needles[/sup]" lucario said trailing into a whisper at the end of his sentence.

"speak up I can`t hear you" jeffery said his voice almost going into a yell.

"some needles alright you gonna have to be injected to kill any possible infections caused by the arrowhead alright" lucario finished and as soon as he did jeffery`s face turned as white as a sheet.

"oh hell no" jeffery said trying to get out of bed but before he could lucario lept up and pinned him down.

"listen do you really wanna go out to little infection just because you were too much of a wimp to get a fucking needle if so good for you but the rest of us namely me and all of these fine pokemon here worked too hard to see you die like that so either you willingly get injected or I ram the needle into your arm myself" lucario said a fury in his eyes.

"ugh fine" jeffery said defeated as he waited for the needle.

 

[Shapsters]

Dani quickly shrugged Brandon's hand off her shoulder, she didn't trust males now a days, expect of course for Magnus, but now she was just plain confused,

"What do you mean lost a loved one, did... did Aari die?" Brandon nodded and Dani's eyes welled up with tears, "Why?! How?! When?!"

Before Brandon could answer Dani was bawling, the tears were flowing for many different reason, but the most immediate was the loss of her new friend.

 

[revolverwolf]

Alan had had enough for today... Having to watch Magnus go from one end of a spectrum to another was more than what he had deserved. But he wanted to go check one more thing before trying to forget all of today. He needed to see that Jeffery was okay, just to clear any doubts that he had.

He turned up at his room and his Pokemon crowded him for a moment. "Alan. I thought you said we where going on an adventure today?" His Staryu spoke first, looking into his eyes, "Alan? Are you okay?"

"The adventure's already become too real... One of them..." Alan stared into the floor and gulped, "We need to make sure Jeffery is okay..." He drew Magneton and Golbat into their Pokeballs and then lifted Staryu onto his shoulders. Leaving the hotel he assembled his bike and began his journey to the hospital.

 

[sage42]

"Because Team Rocket is out to get us. And soon after we left the restaurant." Brandon said with tears swelling in his eyes. I'm sorry you had to experience this so soon. No one should have to go through with this." He said kneeling down. "Let it all out," He said when she started crying "It will make it a lot easier in the long run."
