Fight and Flight

A story of Axle

Axle and Natasha were in his room in the watch tower. It was late, and a cold breeze blew through the metal tower, despite their being no where for it to blow from. The two didn't notice however, as they were pulled close together, their body heat keeping them warm.

"So, what's next?" Natasha asked, tracing a figure eight on Axle's chest. Axle smiled at her finger, and gently kissed the top of her purple hair.

"Theirs a refugee camp in Mauville, we're going to head up there and help move them to Sinnoh" Natasha nodded, sinking in slowly.

"Why do you do it?"

"Do what?" Natasha shrugged.

"Help these people, seek peace, you obviously didn't start when you found me. What made you who you are?" Axle grinned nervously.

"I told you, my life at the dragons den" Natasha shook her head.

"No, no, that's how you became a slider. I mean, with the way that story ended, you should have killed yourself. What made you into you" Axle grimaced.

"If I tell you, will you swear to tell no one?" Natasha nodded. "Well, first let me say, I never expected to get involved with Vicky or Chaos. Hell, when we first met, she despised me, and I thought she was a hard ass bitch. God, its amazing how your perception of a person will change…"

Axle lived in a perpetual state of self pity, ever since his expulsion from the dragons den. Somehow, he had survived twenty entire years, and now had found himself in Goldenrod City.

"Alright, how much could I sell these for?" He muttered, as he picked up a pair of silver candle sticks off of the mantel of the fireplace. Axle dropped them in his brown sack, and moved on to the kitchen.

If you had stood on the street outside of the Four Arms apartment building and looked up to the window on the eighteenth story, you would have seen an sheet of ice coating the window, and a large hole in the center. If you had turned on any electrical devices, such as the TV or security alarm, you would have seen they were all fried, like some one fired a weak thunderbolt into a socket.

"Alright, the good silver" Axle muttered, holding up a wooden box with several, fancy, forks and spoons inside, "Not so good. Couldn't sell this for anything" Axle had discovered this place a few days ago. At first, he thought that the owners went to the Grand Festival each night, until he broke in that night and found a news paper on the kitchen table. "Johto Grand Festival to be held in Goldenrod" It was dated six months earlier.

"And now, we move to the bed room" Axle muttered. In the master bedroom, Axle found a strong box with five hundred Johto marks, which he quickly emptied into his bag. On the dresser, was a single pokeball. Axle picked it up, and held it between his claws, before setting it back down. Axle would never steal a pokemon, it just disgusted him that the owners of this place had simply left theirs in its pokeball before running off to, God knows where.

"Alright, got everything's, lets get out of here" It wasn't a good haul, but Axle would take what he could get. It wasn't like he paid rent or anything, considering he was squatting in the building at the remains of the National Park (The National Park had been destroyed ten years prior when a large earthquake had split it down the middle. No plants could grow, all water poured into the crevice, and all that remained was a dirt and cement lot). Axle moved back to the window he had come through, extended his wings, and saw something strange.

Over the roofs of two buildings, Axle could see what looked like a Pidgeot hybrid, a female hybrid, wings extended, and flapping rapidly. Around her waist was a harness, which had a long metal wire running out of it and down below the roof. On the woman's face was a look of determination, and her eyes seemed to have an unnatural sheen to them.

Suddenly, a fire blast shot up, and at the woman. "Shit, lady move" Axle yelled, leaping out of the building.

Vicky swooped down low, easily avoiding the fire blast. Beneath her was her Arcanine friend, Chaos, who wore a second harness that attached by wire to hers. He was running at full speed, after a Blaziken which was hopping backwards, firing everything in its arsenal. If it used earthquake, the two of them were done for, but as long as it couldn't stop, it couldn't use the attack.

As Chaos ran, he would fire a flame-thrower, which Blaze would jump to the left or right of the empty street to avoid. But he was beginning to get tired, and Vicky and Chaos knew this was their chance.

"Chaos, try to get him in eye sight, and use leer" Vicky yelled to her partner.

"Roger, Miss Vicky"

"Lady, hey lady!"

"What the fuck is that?" Vicky yelled. Turning, she saw a Dragonite flying at her at an extremely fast speed. Unfortunately, in this moment of distraction, Blaze fired another fire blast, this one hitting its mark.

Vicky was thrown sideways by the blast, slamming into the side of a building, her right wing taking the hit especially bad. Her wings folded up, and she began to fall out of the sky.

"Hold on lady, I'll save you" Axle yelled, as the woman began to fall. He swooped down, only to see an Arcanine leap up and catch the hybrid on its back, moments before she hit the ground. Axle hovered ten feet above them, the Arcanine giving him a death look, and the Pidgeot unconscious.

"That was very good" A voice said happily. Axle turned, to see a Blaziken standing the end of the street. "But now, this is better" Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Arcanine was flipped over, landing on top of the hybrid, as the earthquake knocked both of them out. "Hey you" The Blaziken cried to Axle, as he landed beside the Arcanine and hybrid, making sure they were still breathing.

"Who the fuck are you?" Axle screamed. The Blaziken laughed.

"Tell them, I said hi" The Blaziken gave off a loud laugh, and leapt off.

A few hours later, the hybrid was laid out on her back, on a bed at Goldenrod General Hospital. The Arcanine was curled up on the foot of the bed, both of them to drugged to even move. Axle sat in a chair in the corner of the room, having morphed back to human form before coming in with her, getting a good look at the hybrid for the first time.

She was more then a normal hybrid. She had the head of a Pidgeot, face covered in feathers and a beak for a mouth. The feathers on her head were not the standard pinkish red and yellow, but blue and green. When she had been lowered onto the bed, Axle had seen her tail feathers were blue also.

Her arms were covered with feathers, down to her wrist. Her hands were covered with the same scabby skin as her talons, and she had long, claw like fingers. Her legs were similar to her arms, ending in sharp talons for feet.

Coming out of her back, was a large set of wings, currently folded up. Her right wing had been bandaged, and Axle doubted she would be able to move it anytime soon.

Axle was sitting on her clothing, which had been laid over the chair. A black leather jacket, a pair of black pants, the two harnesses and wire, and a black T-shirt, that read Fugitive Apprehension Agent, with large holes cut in the back for her wings. Brian had also found a shoulder holster, with a large hand gun in it, a pair of hand-cuffs, two hundred Sinnoh sovereigns in cash, and a small, brown leather bound book. Their was no identification any where on the woman.

"Mr. Axle" Axle turned up, to see a nurse standing in the entrance way. "The woman's not going to wake up any time soon. If you want to go out and stretch your legs, she'll be fine" Axle sighed, and nodded, heading out slowly. Vicky's eyes cracked open slowly.

The nurse checked Vicky's blood pressure slowly. She turned away from her, just for a moment, but in that time Vicky slammed her fist into the back of the nurses head, knocking her out.

Axle returned a few minutes later, holding a cup of coffee. He entered the hybrids room, to find the nurse from earlier unconscious on the floor. The bed was empty, and the window in the room was open.

"Shit" Axle muttered, running at the window and morphing into Dragonite. He leapt over the seal, and into the dark night.

After a few minutes of fruitless searching, Axle spied the Arcanine running across an empty parking lot, on the back side of the hospital. It spied Axle, and started running faster.

"Hey, hey you" Axle yelled, "Stop" Almost on que, the Arcanine stopped, allowing for Axle to gain some distance. "Good, now were is…"

Vicky swooped down from above, having been concealed by the dark night. She grabbed Axle across the neck, and pressed her gun against his back. She slowly hovered to the ground, slamming her right talon onto his tail, pinning him to the ground. The Arcanine, Chaos, turned and approached the two slowly.

"Alright mister" Chaos growled, "How about you start the conversation"

"Tell your friend to let me go" Axle spat.

"Then you tell us what you were doing with Blaze" Vicky snarled. "If you don't, my friend Chaos will make you"

"Blaze, who the fuck is Blaze?" Vicky shook her head in mock sadness.

"Alright Chaos, use flame-thrower. I'll be fine. Use it until his knees buckle"

"On it Miss Vicky" Chaos unleashed a straight stream of fire, hitting him straight in the chest. At first, Axles skin was able to resist, but after a minute, he was in tremendous pain.

"Lady-uh-Vicky, stop it" Axle cried.

"Tell me what you know about Blaze" Axle wanted to scream, and strangle this hard headed woman. He sighed, and summoned a thunderbolt.

"I'm sorry about this" Axle fired the thunder bolt, right at Vicky's weak wing. Vicky cried, and collapsed. Before Chaos could comprehend what happened, Axle fired a thunder wave at him, paralyzing him.

"You two may not get this, but you're hurt" Axle growled, hefting both of them over his shoulders. "And I may not know you, but I care enough to make sure you don't end up dead" With that, he took off back to their room.

When Vicky woke up however, they were not in her hospital room. Instead, they were in a dilapidated cement building. She was asleep on a small, metal frame, cot. Chaos and Axle were both asleep on the floor. Vicky reached her leg down, and nudged Chaos. He looked up slowly, and nodded.

Axle woke up a few minutes later, to discover he had been tied to his cot by the sheets on it. Vicky and Chaos stood over him.

"Oh good, your awake" Vicky said, in a mock cheerful voice. "Why don't we continue where we left off? Where the hell are we?"

"Why am I tied to my bed?"

"Wrong answer!" Vicky drove her hand, all five claws extended, into Axle's stomach. Not deep enough to draw blood, but enough to make him scream in pain.

"Jesus lady, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Its Miss Vicky to you" Chaos said, before using ember to burn Axle's feet.

"Fuck! What did I do to you people? You can't believe I'm still working for that Blaze person?! Could you really be that hard headed"

"The answer is yes" Chaos almost laughed, "She really can be that hard headed" Vicky shot him a death glance. "But, we figured you weren't working with Blaze on the simple grounds that you would have killed us by now"

"We were suspicious how ever" Vicky said, "Because of your ability"

"What ability?! And why am I still tied up?"

"You can turn into a Dragonite" Vicky said, "And only one other person can do something like that"

"Blaze?"

"Exactly" Axle sighed.

"Well, I'll tell you how I ended up how I did. But you have to tell me who you two are! All I know is your names, and that you're bounty hunters"

"How did you know that?" Chaos exclaimed.

"Vicky's T-shirt said Fugitive Apprehension Agent, that's a bounty hunter"

"I told you that shirt was advertising" Chaos muttered. Vicky scowled at him.

"Well, we want to know what how you got your power, and how we got here" Axle's eyes bulged.

"Shit, I forgot. I'll tell you, but do you mind" Vicky nodded, and slashed his sheets, letting him sit up. "Well, I flew us back to the hospital room, but when I got there…

"Alright supergirl" Axle muttered, as he lay Vicky down on her bed gently, "You rest" He drooped Chaos on the edge of the bed. "I'll protect you through the night, don't worry" Sighing, he moved on to the nurse, still passed out on the floor. He morphed back to human form, and nudged her awake.

"Wazza" The nurse mumbled, as Axle helped her to her feet. "What happened?"

"Nothing, you tripped and hit your head, but your fine now" Axle said, soothingly. The nurse nodded, almost unsure. Suddenly, their was a knocking at the door. The nurse pushed away from Axle, and opened the door.

"Aaahhhh!" A flaming fist plunged into the nurses stomach, and pushed all the way through her back. She collapsed on Blaze's arm, blood flowing freely, and he let her drop to the ground.

"Well, Miss Vicky sure got a nice room" Blaze crackled as he stepped over the nurses collapsed body. He looked like a normal Blaziken, except he was wearing a trench coat. Blaze locked eyes with Axle. "Who the hell are you"

"The one whose going to protect her from you" Axle yelled, taking a fighting stance.

"You, please, don't kid your self. You are as tall as my chest. I will brake you" Blaze's left foot ignited, and he jumped at Axle, using blaze kick. Axle was ready though, and the moment Blaze, jumped, he shifted.

The surprise radiating off of Blaze was palpable, as Axle revealed his Dragonite form, and grabbed Blaze's leg. In one fluid motion, he shifted around, and flung Blaze through the window.

"Alright, you can't stay here tonight" Axle said, as he picked up Vicky and Chaos again. He grabbed her clothes in his right fist, and took off.

"Your clothes are over there" Axle pointed to the back corner of the room. Vicky nodded, an she and Chaos ran over, and began to rapidly search through her things.

"How could you forget to tell us?" Chaos called.

"Well, when I woke up, I was tied to my bed. I was kind of pre-occupied with that"

"Where's my gun?" Vicky asked, "And my handcuffs"

"They're not there? Shit, I must have dropped them" Axle pulled himself up, and onto the edge of the bed. "Just be glad I remembered your stupid harness, why do you need that thing anyways"

"I don't have to tell you" Vicky mumbled, as she stood back up, she turned around, but Axle was behind her. He grabbed her by the throat, a cold look in his eyes.

"Actually, I think you do" Axle growled, "I've told you lots of stuff, but I don't know anything about you, or that Blaze person"

"I wouldn't be doing this if I were you" Vicky said calmly.

"Why, you said your not afraid to kill me, why should I be afraid of you?"

"Its not me you should be afraid of" A flame-thrower hit Axle in the back, at point blank range, causing him to fall to his knees, letting go of Vicky. "Its him"

"Are you all right Miss Vicky?" Chaos asked, concerned.

"Yes, I'm fine" She sighed, and helped Axle up. "Your right, we do need to tell you about us" They moved him back to the bed, "What would you like to know"

"Well, lets start with you" Axle said, "How did you and Chaos end up together"

"You want me to tell the sordid affair" Chaos asked.

"Please, go ahead"

"We met a long time ago, in an orphanage for pokemon and hybrids" Chaos said, "I ended up there, because my trainer at the time had an interesting way of deciding which pokemon he would use. He would capture three different pokemon of the same type, and battle them against each other, the winner he kept. He named me Chaos, and I fought against a Vulpix named Tragedy, and a Numel named Anarchy.

"Well, I beat Tragedy, but when I was to face Anarchy, the little bastard used that as his time to evolve. One good earthquake, and I was in such bad shape, I couldn't survive on my own. I ended up at the orphanage, where they cared for pokemon who wouldn't survive without them"

"What about you?" Axle asked Vicky, "Tell me, is Vicky your name, or is it Victoria?"

"My full name is Victoria Flighters" Vicky growled, "And if you call me Victoria, I will take your eyes"

"Vicky Flighters?, that's a bit on the nose"

"It was the name I adopted, when my parents kicked me out" Vicky sighed. "I was born a completely human child, normal in every way. When I was born, people were begging to discover more information about pokehybrids, specifically sleeper hybrids, which are hybrids who are born human, but pokemon DNA inside of them activates at some point in time. Mine activated when I was nine"

"My parents left me at the orphanage a few weeks later. Do you know what their main protest was? That my hybrid form was so common, they said a Pidgey hybrid? Of course, the jokes on them, because I'm a shinny hybrid, and less then 2 of all hybrids end up this way.

"Well, I met Chaos there, and the two of us became fast friends. When I became a bounty hunter, he became my partner, because he offers a unique service"

"Does this have to do with the harness?"

"Exactly" Vicky extended her wings. "The bones in my wings curve slightly, which means I, on my own, can't fly. I need speed, momentum, to get me up in the air. Once I'm up, I can flap and stay in the air, and I can swoop down, but I can't fly upward"

"When she swoops for an attack" Chaos took over, "I run faster. I give her more speed, more lift, and she can return to the sky. We've spent along time perfecting this routine"

"So, essentially, Chaos is your wings?"

"Exactly"

"That's great" Axle said, "Tell me about Blaze" The two gulped.

"To understand Blaze, you'll have to understand why we're after him" Vicky said. "About a year ago, Chaos and I were hired by a rich man, to find some one that we weren't sure existed. This man's daughter had died in a fire, which the police deemed not arson. Except, the rich man couldn't believe that it wasn't arson.

"As he showed us, through out the city, their had been one fire a week, resulting in one death. But then, he showed us news paper clippings, and police reports, from other cities, which had the same pattern. Their would be six fires, each resulting in one death, and then…"

"And then?" Axle asked.

"And then, their would be one huge fire, that would kill forty or fifty people. After that, nothing. Well, this rich mans daughter was fire number six. The day after Chaos and I were hired, a shopping center burned to the ground, with seventy killed"

"Dear God" Axle mumbled. "Wait, I don't understand, why didn't he go to the police with his suspicions, or hire a private investigator?"

"The police?" Chaos asked, "With what proof? Every fire was deemed a coincidence. And as for a private investigator, well, Ms. Vicky and I have a reputation for finding people, and we can do things no private investigator ever could"

"Like enter a house with out permission, or coerce a confession out of some one" Vicky continued, "I thought it would be an easy assignment. The first fire, of the next round, was in Violet City. We followed him there, following the fires, until we finally met him.

"He was planning to burn down Violet City Memorial. We confronted him on the roof, asked him why he did these things. You know what his response was?"

"He's a homicidal adventurer. This entire thing is a game, and he'll play until he gets caught. That he lived for the danger, because the danger couldn't be more enticing. Well, we fought, and Chaos and I were defeated in a rather one sided fight. He told us he wouldn't burn down the hospital, because he had had so much fun fighting us. He told us that we would live, because he wanted a new playmate. From that moment on, finding this fucker hasn't been about the money.

"You see, I believe that for every villain I defeat, I may be putting away the one. The one villain, who if I put them out of business, peace will finally come. I desire peace above all else. But, Chaos and me, we have the odds working against us"

"How did you find him, when I saw you?"

"We had figure he would try for his big one now, and we were right. Found a Blaziken on top of the Goldenrod Department store, because yesterday was their special all night sale, the thing he would be attracted to. We've improved, he had to run away, but we still don't know his real name, or what he looks like"

"If you don't know what he looks like, how do you know he has the same ability as me?"

"Their had only been one witness" Chaos said, "A woman, who survived her attack, long enough to tell the police that she saw a man who could turn into a Blaziken, and that he had attacked her. The police brushed it off as the ramblings of a dying woman, but we knew the truth"

"And since you stopped him yesterday, you think he'll soon try again?"

"Soon, we think tonight" Vicky said, "Tonight is the last night of the Grand Festival"

"Thousands of people, huge press coverage, police every where" Axle grinned, "What could be more enticing? Well, the tournament doesn't begin for almost twelve hours, what do we do now?"

"Now, we train" Vicky pointed to the back door, "Wait for us, I'm going to change" Axle nodded, and headed out.

"I don't understand" Chaos asked, "Why are we bringing him along?"

"Well, he can turn into a Dragonite, and he's obviously strong" Vicky helped strap the metal belt around Chaos, "Besides, he took us to his home, even though he knew Blaze would come for us. This speaks volumes about him"

All that remained of the national park was a large cement slab, with a fissure running down the center, and dirt and weeds springing out of cracks. The sky was gray, and overcast. In the center of the slab, Axle, in Dragonite form, was huntched over, breathing heavily. In front of him, stood Chaos, and Vicky high in the sky, her wings flapping slowly.

"I huff expected you to use an attack, not just kick me" Axle wheezed. She had caught him in the chest, talons extended.

"You never know what Blaze will do" Vicky said, coldly, "He may decide to use attacks, he may just decide to throw fire balls everywhere. All I know is, he will try to hurt you, most likely, he will kill you. You need to know that"

"Hey, I don't fear death" Chaos and Vicky smirked.

"What do you say Miss Vicky, want to test that?"

"Yeah, lets" Axle didn't understand, but ignored them. He sat up, the lunged up, wings extended, right claw glowing with dragon claw. Chaos had been expecting it though, and the moment Axle jumped, Chaos fired a fireblast.

"Shit" Axle's claw stopped glowing, as he flipped to face the attack, balancing on his tail, as he grabbed the asterisk shaped blast. With all his might, Axle forced it upward, re-directing it at where Vicky had been hovering only moments before. Except, she was no longer there.

Vicky swooped low, headed at Axle, left leg and talons extended. Faster then Axle could move, she struck him in the neck, each talon landing on the left or right side. Vicky hit him with so much force, she knocked him on his back, and implanted her talons into the cement, trapping him.

Axle struggled, but couldn't do anything. Vicky's foot was closing off his throat, and he barely breath,

"You didn't flinch" Vicky grinned. "In battle, the thing that can hurt you worse then any attack, is fear of death. You did good" She pulled her leg out of the ground, and helped Axle up. "We can work with you"

An hour before the Grand Festival, Axle and Chaos were waiting at the National Park Building. Vicky had gone out to get "supplies and disguises" for them. Chaos and Axle were looking through the small leather bound book that Vicky carried with her. In it, were all her notes on Blaze.

"Look at this" Axle said, "The day Blaze ignited that shopping center, a diplomat was visiting. And when he tried to burn down the hospital, their was a pokemon double tournament. Every time their has been a big fire, its intersected with some other big event"

"What do you think it means?" Chaos asked.

"I don't know yet, but it does mean something" Axle murmured. "Hey, I've got a question"

"Shoot"

"I know the two of you bonded young, but how is it you and Vicky are still friends and partners? Your an intelligent, sensible, calm pokemon, and she's a stubborn, head strong, smart ass"

"Don't speak bad about Miss Vicky" Chaos growled. Axel apologised, and Chaos continued. "Miss Vicky was with me when I had no one. Since then, we've grown dependent on each other. I am her rock, her stability"

"Your her stability? Just for the record, Vicky's stability is named Chaos"

"What the fuck do you think your doing?!" The two looked up, right as Vicky jumped across the room, driving her elbow into Axle's stomach. The book flipped out of his hands, and she grabbed it quickly. "Did I give you permission to look at my notes?"

"Miss Vicky, please, calm down"

"Calm down! I never got to have things that are just mine when I was young, so anything I have now is important to me. You need to ask me before you touch anything, you understand?" Vicky shook her head. "Look, I'm sorry if I'm wigging out, but any thing that is mine, I don't like it touched with out permission, okay?"

"Yes ma'am" They said in unison. Vicky sighed, and walked back across the room, to three shopping bags she had dropped. "Okay, Axle, I got you and I walky-talky's, Chaos, I got you a collar with one built in. Also, Axle, I got you something else" She tossed him something small and black, which he caught in mid-air.

"Sunglasses?" Axle asked, "What the hell can I do with these?"

"I don't know if you've noticed, but your eyes aren't normal. Your iris' are orange"

"They changed when I evolved into a Dragonite, I can't help it"

"Yeah, well we can't help it if you draw attention to your self, but we're going to try and make sure you don't. Now, for you and I, sense Chaos can walk around the stadium with out anyone noticing, I got these" Vicky pulled a shirt out of the bag.

"Oh come on!"

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen" The MC chirped happily, "To the final round of the Johto Grand Festival" The crowd erupted in cheers.

"I feel like an idiot in this outfit"

"Stop complaining, and look like a guy here to sell concessions" Axle was wearing a concession workers uniform, as long as he wore it and didn't carry anything to sell, no one would notice him. Vicky had take the principal from G.K. Chesterton's "The Invisible Man" and applied it to the two of them.

"We don't know who we're looking for" Axle said, "How do we know when we find him?"

"He wears a trench coat" Chaos said, "We know that much"

"How do we know he's here?" Silence from their end. Axle sighed, and continued to navigate through the rows of people. Plenty of people had trench coats, but none of them looked like a psycho killer. Axle's walky-talky suddenly crackled to life.

"Guy', guy's" Chaos yelled, "Blaze is not here"

"How do you know?" Vicky asked.

"I just saw a bunch of police, and fire fighters"

"So?"

"So, it hit me. Every big fire Blaze ever set, it was set when the city was having a huge event, something that would distract the police and fire department. This isn't his target, its his distraction"

"Then what's his real target?" Axle yelled, causing every one in the row to look at him.

"I know what it is!" Vicky cried, "The main pokemon center for the Festival, they said they would be admitting anyone who couldn't get into the contest hall. They said they would be showing the final round, and serving free food and drink. What could feed his ego more, then a building full of humans, hybrids, and pokemon that burned to the ground, with the fire department yards away?"

"When I'm feeling lonely and I'm sure I've had enough" Blaze sang under his breath, "She sends the comfort coming in from above" The pokemon center was overflowing with people, all their eyes glued on the TV, ignoring Blaze, who was waiting for the main doors to clear. All of the windows and backdoor had been sealed earlier, Blaze hoping that no one would bother to examine them.

After another ten minutes, every one had filled in, and their eyes were glued on the Grand Festival. Blaze laughed under his breath.

"I guess its about time, Ladies and Gentlemen" Blaze whistled, and every one turned. "Thank you, first, let me show you this" He rolled down his sleeve, to reveal the arm of a Blaziken. Before any one could move, a long stream of fire shot out of its arm, and down the center of the two doors. The glass turned red, and when the fire stopped, it was revealed the glass had melted together.

"What the fuck are you doing?" One of the crowd screamed. Blaze laughed.

"Try any window or door, you'll find them sealed" One man ran and jumped against the window, to bounce backwards and land on his side. "Please don't try that again" He threw off his over coat, shifting all the way into Blaziken form. People reacted differently, the most common reaction being screaming.

"Okay, now here's how its going to work. I'm going to light this place on fire. It'll burn to the ground, and kill everyone but me. You all will scream at the top of your lungs, but since the police and fire department are all at the festival, so they'll never come. Now, what did I forget?"

People began to run and scramble over each other, running for the video phones. Blaze snapped his fingers, and quickly fired several fire balls, destroying the phones instantly.

"Ice beam and fire blast!" Blaze flipped around, right as the glass doors were completely consumed in a sheet of ice, obscuring his sight. The ice lit up red, and the doors melted away in a large circle. Vicky stood in the gap, Chaos in front of her, and Axle behind her. Chaos and her had put their ring and harnesses back on already, and were prepared for battle. A grin was on her beak like mouth.

"Pathetic, aren't you?" Vicky asked in a mocking voice. Blaze growled.

"What do you mean, pathetic?"

"Killing a center full of helpless people, when the police can't even get to them? Where's the thrill in that?" Blaze looked back at the cowering people, then at the three.

"We can give you a real challenge" Chaos yelled, "We can fight you till the end. What's more of an adventure then that" Blaze laughed.

"You're on"

"Good" Vicky yelled, extending her wings, "Then follow us" The three turned, and took off, as Blaze jumped out behind them.

We need to get him out of the city, and away from people Chaos, towing Vicky, and Axle flew north of the city, heading towards the remains of the original park. The grand festival actually served good purposes for the three of them, because the city streets were empty. Blaze jumped behind them, and in a few minutes, they were in the giant rock field, where the national park had once been. Chaos stopped running, Axle landed gracefully, and Vicky hovered overhead, Blaze landing in front of them.

"Are we ready" Blaze laughed. The three nodded.

Blaze made the first move, launching him self at Chaos, fist extended in a blaze punch. But Axle had jumped at the same time, and hit Blaze in the stomach with a sky uppercut, throwing him straight up, where Vicky smashed his spine with a mega kick. Blaze fell out the sky, and hit the ground with a thud.

Blaze pulled himself up, only to be slammed by Chaos, using extreme speed. Blaze flipped backwards three times, landing on his stomach.

"You fucking bitch ass whore!" Blaze screamed, as he picked himself up. His wrists ignited, and he fired a flame-thrower at Axle. Chaos jumped in front of Axle, and the fire was absorbed into his body.

"My ability is flash fire" Chaos laughed, "You of all people should know that" Blaze screamed, but Vicky swooped down and picked him up by the shoulders in her lower talons. Chaos began to run, so Vicky could rise, gripping onto a struggling Blaze. When Vicky had risen high enough, Chaos fired a flame-thrower straight into Blaze's stomach.

"Fuck" Blaze punched Vicky in the leg with brick brake, doing essentially nothing. Axle flew into Blaze's back, shoulder extended, knocking Blaze back into the ground.

Blaze stood up, and slammed his feet into the ground. Two long, pointed stones popped out, and he grabbed them. He threw one at Vicky and one at Chaos, but they were knocked down by Axle using dragon breath on one, and grabbing the second. He threw it back at Blaze, hitting the Blaziken in the jaw, knocking him on his back.

"I don't get it, not one hit" Blaze cried, "I've never had this much trouble, except…" He counted them in his head. "I just realized, I'm fighting three of you, and ones a dragon!"

"You know" Vicky mocked, "You're right, you're never going to beat us, as long as theirs three of us" Blaze pulled himself up, laughing.

"You're right, I agree" Blaze shot up, but not at Vicky or Chaos, but instead at Axle. Before Axle could move, Blaze slammed his fist, crackling with electricity, into Axle's stomach. Suddenly, electricity shot across him, freezing his muscles.

"What the fuck? I-I can't move" Blaze nodded, grinning crazily.

"I know thunderpunch will barely do anything, but I needed it to paralyze you, so you wouldn't get in my way" Blaze jumped up, and burrowed under the ground, using dig.

"Vicky, Chaos, I'm okay, just move" Axle screamed. Not needing to be told twice, Chaos took off running, towing Vicky quickly. The two ran in zigzag lines all over the empty lot, trying desperately to avoid Blaze. But where was he?

"Chaos, watch out" Vicky screamed, right as Blaze began to pull himself out of the ground in front of them, "Jump" As Blaze pulled himself out of the ground, Chaos leapt over his head.

"Perfect" Blaze laughed. From out of the ground, Blaze pulled a long, sharp rock. Before Axle could react, Blaze threw the rock. It hit Chaos in the stomach, and plunged threw him, spewing his blood every where. The rock popped out of his back, and cut the wire that held Vicky, slinging her around wildly.

Blaze leapt out of the ground, leaping twenty feet, holding another sharp rock in his other hand, and grabbing onto Vicky's wings. "Hey bitch, miss me"

"Fuck you" Blaze let out an inhuman bellow, as it clenched its fist in a second thunder punch. He slammed his electric fist into Vicky's right wing, pulled one of the green feathers off of her head, and leapt off of her backwards. He threw the rock at the ground, having it land with the sharp part pointed up.

Vicky was hit with enough force to cripple her, and send her falling towards the ground, head first. She shot up a huge cloud of dust when she hit, landing on the sharp rock Blaze had thrown, and with a sickening CRACK! Blaze landed on the ground feet first, and brushed himself off.

"Vicky! Shit, Vicky" Axle conjured up all of his strength, and slowly pulled himself foreword by his claws, the only part of his body moving. Blaze walked over, laughing happily.

"Go ahead, I have no interest in killing you" Blaze grinned, "What fun would that be? I'm leaving Goldenrod, and Johto. You can find me in Kanto. I'll be waiting" With that, Blaze leapt away, as Axle continued to pull himself to Vicky.

Ten minutes later, he finally reached her. She had landed beside Chaos, their blood pooling together. Chaos was dead, but Axle didn't have time to shed a tear. Vicky had landed head first, her skull was cracked and blood seeped out, between her feathers. Her wings were bent at un-natural angels. She slowly turned to face Axle, her eyes half open.

"Axle?" Axle nodded, tears rolling down his muzzle. "I'm a goner"

"No, your going to be" Vicky shook her head.

"I'm dead. Axle, before I die, I need you to know something" She swallowed. "Axle, I wouldn't have let you come with me, if I didn't see you had something good inside you. You were a thief when I met you, but your not anymore. Axle, I want you to continue my mission. Fight for peace, find Blaze, and keep fighting all of those who oppress you. Swear to me Axle"

"I swear" He choked, nodding quickly. A grin came across Vicky's beak.

"Thanks Axle" She whispered, as she closed her eyes, and died.

"I stayed with her, until the paralysis wore off" Axle murmured. "Then I buried her and Chaos. I'll go out there once a year, to visit them, and remember. I don't know if I ever liked her as a person, but I was their when Vicky was killed for her quest for a better world. In that moment, she earned my respect, and my admeration"

"What ever happened to Blaze?" Natasha asked, but Axle shook his head.

"That's something I regret. I did something terrible to him, that I doubt Vicky or Chaos would have been proud of" He sighed, noticing for the first time that sunlight now filled the room.

"Come on, lets get ready, we head out in an hour" Axle said. Natasha nodded, but as she left his room, she couldn't help but stare at him with a new, larger respect.
