LOVE CONQUERS ALL
LOVE CONQUERS ALL
Ashley ran as fast as her four legs would carry her down the street and towards the play ground area. She turned the corner to see Jolt standing next to Julian not moving and felt her heart fill with panic.
"Oh god, please no...." was all Ashley could muster to say as her voice broke staring at her mother not moving looking on horrified at what she was seeing.
Jolt then bent over and picked up Julian by the throat causing her to gag and choke.
Ashley seemed to be stuck in a nightmare as all she could do was stare at her brother choke their mother. Everything around Ashley, Jolt, and their mother seemed to be shaded into a dark and gloomy shade of blue as she stood there still frozen in place unable to move looking on as the sound of Julian's gags and gasps for air seemed to echo around her...
"Jolt....this isn't you....you're not like this....your brave....and kind....what have I done? I've turned you into this monster you're not...." Ashley thought horrified still unable move as Julian gagged again still unable to move "Jolt....come back to me.....I'm sorry I hurt you..." Ashley thought as tears began to swell in her eyes and Julian gave another gasp."Be the Chu I know and love again....." Ashley thought as Julian gave one more feeble gag before her body became limp."JOLT, NOOOOOOO!!" Ashley screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran over to him and wrapped her arms around him sobbing loudly."Please Jolt....come back to me....I'm sorry I hurt you....I turned you into this monster! Please let her go! I love you Jolt!! "Ashley said between sobs causing Jolt to drop Julian to the ground and after a few moments cough and gasp for air.
Jolt stood there for a moment seemingly rooted in place as Ashley tears began to soak his fur."Y-you.....l-love me?" Jolt said in a part normal tone part trance like tone.
"Yes, with all my heart! Please come back to me.....you're all that matters to me now!" Ashley exclaimed turning Jolt around and facing him as she stood on her hind paws.
Jolt stared at her with an emotionless glance seemingly as if he suddenly was shut off by a invisible switch as his eyes closed.
"Jolt...." Was all Ashley could say with a smile on her face when suddenly Jolt's eyes snapped open.
"LIES!!" Jolt Yelled knocking Ashley away to the ground on her side.
Ashley looked up still laying on her side with on ear over her left eye at her brother with spark emitting from his cheeks staring at her with the same rage in his eyes."Jolt...please....I'm sorry I hurt you....Don't you still love me?" Ashley said looking up at her brother fearfully for the first time in her life.
"Ashley...he's not himself.....words won't get through to him...That chip is fueled by his inner rage "Julian said in a wheezy voice still unable to move.
"I have no need for such emotions....all they end in is pain....my purpose is now clear....I am a destroyer....I have no other purpose...." Jolt said in the same trance like tone.
Ashley looked up into Jolt's eyes fearfully as tears continued to flood from her own. She then hung her head low suddenly."If....killing me.....will give your heart peace....then do it...if I can't be with you...then I have....no reason to live...you're my life...my soul..." Ashley said between sobs as her tears dripped off her furry brown cheeks onto the ground.
Julian managed to at least roll over now groaning in agony."Ashley....RUN! GO!" Julian shrieked at her daughter but Ashley did not move...she laid there on her side with her head held low with the tip of her ears touching the ground waiting for her fate to be sealed.
Jolt cheeks began to emit large sparks as he prepared to turn Ashley to dust."Goodbye......my love...."Ashley thought tearfully.
Suddenly out of nowhere Jolt was knocked backward causing his attack to shoot harmlessly strait up in the sky. Ashley snapped her eyes open and looked up to see her father standing in front of her."Are you ok Ashley?" Ash asked not looking back.
"Yes..." Ashley replied in a slightly shocked tone as the realization of what just happened here hit her.
Ash then directed his gaze over to Julian who had by now managed to get on all fours."Are you ok dear?" Ash asked in the same tone.
"More or less I am...how did you know what was going on?" Julian asked shocked by happy to see her husband.
"I saw Josh lying on the front room floor and asked him what happened. The moment he told me I rushed out here hoping I wasn't too late. Looks like I made it just in time." Ash finished with a smile.
Jolt began to stand back up looking un-phased by his father's attack. He then charged at Ash and Julian only to be stopped by what looked like a blur of white fur and claws and was knocked back a few feet before he made a full recovery on his knees.
"Honestly...you thought you could take him on alone? Your even crazier then I gave you credit for" Meo said as he turned his head and looked at Ash and Julian with a cocky smile.
"Who's watching the rest of the littler?!" Julian asked in a worried tone.
"Oh...they are just fine where they are..." Meo said with a smile.
IN THE KETCHUM HOUSEHOLD...
Coda, Josh, and Takisha were sitting in the bathroom while Alexia continuously banged on the door trying to open it because Meo has barricaded it shut.
"I don't believe this! When mom and dad get back I'm telling them exactly what Meo did to us!" Alexia said bashing on the door once again..."LET US OUT OF HERE!!" Alexia screamed at the top of her lungs bashing on the door once again.
Josh simply sat there next to Coda and Takisha watching their sister repeatedly try to break the door down and sighed." She isn't going to give up is she?" Josh said in a dull voice.
"Nope....she's hard headed that way..." Coda said in the same dull tone.
Takisha simply pulled a brush out of the cabinet drawer and began to brush her fur."Give it up sis...Meo got that door locked tight. We aren't getting out of here any time soon." Takisha said as she brushed her leg fur.
Alexia looked back at the others and glared"Ugh...I won't stand for this! I'm going to get us out of here if it's the last thing I do!" Alexia said then went back to banging the door and screaming at the top of her lungs.
Coda and Josh looked at each other and sighed almost simultaneously
"Checkers?" Coda said suggestively with a smile.
"Oh you're going down this time!" Josh said with a grin as Alexia continued to bang on the bathroom door still screaming at the top of her lungs.....
BACK AT THE PLAYGROUND
"As long as they are safe is all that matters I guess" Julian said with a worried look.
Ash, Julian, and Meo looked at Jolt who by now had stood up completely and simply glared at them.
"It's going to take all three of us to take him down...if we can't then it's all over." Meo said in a dead serious tone.
"You're not leaving me out of this one!" Ashley piped up from behind them.
"You're going straight back to the house Young Chu!" Julian said in a stern tone.
"No, I'm not! I don't care what you say mother...Jolt means the world to me...I love him! And none of you can stop me from trying to save the Chu I love! If that means I'll have to leave then fine...but not without Jolt! I don't care what anyone thinks anymore...Jolt is my life!" Ashley said a flare in her eyes that Ash recognized right away for one of Julian's looks. She was dead serious and Ash knew it.
"Ashley.....I-" Julian started but Ashley cut her off."No mom you said it yourself! I'll know when the time comes when I know what my heart truly wants...and it wants to be with Jolt! So I'm staying here and fighting with you....if I die fighting for the Chu I love then that's just fine with me! I'd rather be dead then live another day without him!" Ashley said in a fierce tone.
"Let her fight Julian...I know it may be hard...but she's just like you...nothing gets in the way of what her heart wants most..." Meo said and turned to face Jolt."Now is the time...if you're not up to it...get out of here now....cause this is going to get serious really fast!" Meo said and dashed at Jolt, claws bared, and slashed at Jolt.
Julian gave one more worried glance at her daughter then turned to dash at Jolt as well jumping up in the air and coming directly at him with her iron tail attack as Meo continuously slashed at Jolt.
Jolt dodged each slash coming at him and countered with a thunderpunch to Meo's chest sending him flying back only to look up a split second later to see Julian barely inches from his head with her Iron tail attack. Jolt within a split second put both paws up grabbed Julian by her tail and chucked her at Meo who had just stood up knocking them both back only to see Ash using his agility jumping over the both of them as they flew under him landing on the ground behind him as he came at jolt with an Iron tail which Jolt blocked.
Ash then threw several thunderpunches at jolt to which was constantly blocking and deflecting. Meanwhile Ashley had jumped over the both of them and began throwing thunderpunches of her own to which Jolt quickly shifted his stance so that they were both facing him and began to block both of their oncoming attacks but with far more difficulty.
Julian and Meo stood up next to each other and looked at as Ash and Ashley continued to attack relentlessly against Jolt."I think we are missing out on the action..." Meo said and dashed forward to get back into the battle.
Julian looked at Meo and groaned" If I didn't know any better I'd say he enjoyed fighting a little too much..." Julian thought and dashed forward as well.
Jolt saw Julian and Meo coming at him and used his agility to jump out of range of Ash and Ashley's attacks on him then jumped in the air and lunched a Thunderbolt attack on them.
Julian jumped in the way of the attack and stopped the attack with her tail and struggled slightly before deflecting it to the ground which created a small crater.
"Impressive mother....but you will not stop me from achieving my goal that Chris had originally designed me to perform. To destroy you and you're entire family." Jolt said in the same trance like tone.
"Julian....fighting strait on isn't going to win this fight for us...we are already nearing our limit and he seemingly hasn't broken a sweat." Meo said panting.
"The meowth is smarter than I give him credit for....I have been toying with you all...you never stood a chance against me...but it was fun to entertain your hopes for a little while...." Jolt said in a voice that was sounding more like Chris with every word he spoke.
"If this keeps up Meo...Jolt will forget us completely...the chip will have him completely...and I don't think we can save him when that happens." Ash said in a serious tone.
"Think Julian! How did you get through to him last time?!" Meo exclaimed with a panicked look on his face as Jolt dashed at Meo and hit him in the chest causing him to cough up blood just before the impact of the attack sent him flying back a crossed the street into the house.
"It was a surge of emotion that got through to him last time...but that didn't work!" Julian said just before Jolt hit her as well sending her into a backward roll and stopped a about ten feet away from him laying face down on the ground unconscious.
" A surge of emotion......" Ashley said thinking to herself as Ash got clocked knocking him a few feet away.
"Ashley run away!!" Ash said trying to get back on all fours but unable to move...
Ashley then turned to face Jolt as she stood on her hind paws and stared at him.
"Are you so eager to die?" Jolt said in a cocky tone.
Ashley then without warning grabbed jolt's face with both paws and kissed him passionately.
Jolt's eyes suddenly widened in shock as the returned to normal and he began to return the kiss.
After a few moments Ashley broke the kiss and stared into Jolt's eyes smiling.
"Ashley.....I'm so....sorry....." Jolt said and passed out in her arms.
Ashley unable to hold her brothers weight up fall onto her rump with Jolt's face in her chest lying on top of her...
Ashley sat on the ground slowly stroking through his head fur and smiled "It's ok...I forgive you....you've come back to me...and that's all that matters to me now...." Ashley said in a soft tone and kissed the back of his head.
Ash walked up to Ashley and the unconscious Jolt.
Ashley looked up at her father and sighed."We need to talk about something dad...." Ashley said in a soft but serious tone...
Ashley ran as fast as her four legs would carry her down the street and towards the play ground area. She turned the corner to see Jolt standing next to Julian not moving and felt her heart fill with panic.
"Oh god, please no...." was all Ashley could muster to say as her voice broke staring at her mother not moving looking on horrified at what she was seeing.
