Hours later, they finally made it to the top, all three of them panting. “Oh Arceus… How many floors was that?!” Yami asked, sitting down on the edge of the summit. “Around… Around 19…” Fang managed, crouching so she could catch her breath. Green had collapsed, choosing not to get up as Fang sat in some shade.

They sighed. “Green… any sign of Alakazam or the others?” She asked, curious. Green groaned and sat up, looking down. “No such luck.” He said, scooching into her shade. Fang happily shared it with him and smiled. She even handed him half an apple as she ate the other half. He gladly took it and ate it. “Hey, Fang… so, what was that promise thing all about, anyway?” Green asked. Fang sighed. “Fine, I’ll tell you.” She said. “It was Gardevoir… She told me she’d be waiting here, Green.” Green smiled. “Maybe you should just wait.” Green said, looking at her. “Then she’ll come by. I know she will. Just give it some time, Fang. Then you’ll see.” He took another bite of the apple, while Fang said, “Yeah, maybe you’re right, Green. In the meantime… it seems you were pleased with my kiss, you big, bad, boy…”

Green chuckled. “Trying to play it seductive? Really?”

“It’s better than pinning you to the wall and-”

“Whoa! TMI, babe, TMI!”

“Aw, I’m just kidding, Green!”

“B-But… you just…”

“... It’s a sex joke, Green. Deal with it.”

“Oh, you sly little girl… I love it when you talk that way…”

Fang blushed at his words. “D-Do you mean that?” She asked, absolutely stunned by what she had heard. She soon shook her head as she composed herself, sighing. “Well… Yeah… to be honest, I mean every word.” He said. Fang soon stiffened up, blushing more than ever. “Oh… Oh my…” She stammered, slightly flattered. She soon scooched closer when a voice rang out, “Your time ends here, Fang! Show yourself!” It was Alakazam. Oh no…

Yami ran toward them before Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar showed up before them, menacing, ready to kill. Fang stepped up. “Alakazam… it’s come down to this, hasn’t it?” She asked, tears in her eyes. He nodded. “Indeed it has, Fang. And I’m not going to be sorry if anything happens to you.” He said, sighing. Green soon stepped up to Tyanitar, Yami to Charizard. They all got into battle position, including Fang and Alakazam, and thus, the brawl began.

Fang dodged a Psycho cut from Alakazam as she countered with a Blaze Kick to the side, but he caught her foot. Helpless, Fang fell, but found herself lifted into the air, scared as she was thrown into a wall. Grunting, she looked up at Alakazam. Slowly getting up, she kicked him away, right into Charizard, rushing up with Flame Wheel. She slammed herself into Alakazam’s stomach, forcing his impact to increase as he hit the wall. It almost seemed as if she was actually going berserk, because Green was running up to her. But in that instant, she turned to him, and rused at him… then a light flashed before them.

A fox-like being, with white fur and 9 tails, had appeared in front of them, and turned to Green. “You fool…” He said, eyeing Green with a serious look on his face. “You almost got killed by the one you loved. You should never do that when a strong one goes berserk. And you…” He soon faced Fang, who was snarling at the new being, until it looked right into her eyes. “You have nothing to fear. Calm down.” Fang didn’t listen. She rushed up, but then, Green screamed, “STOP!!” as he grabbed her arm. She turned, but the creature held her in place. “I’ve got her.” He said, Green moving in.

“Fang… Don’t be like this… it’s all over, Fang… we… we did it…” He said.

Fang snarled as she heard his voice, struggling. Green approached her slowly. “It’s ok… there’s nothing to be scared of… I’m here… I’m ok… And you’re ok… Isn’t that all that matters, Fang?” He asked, smiling softly as Yami walked by. Fang began breathing heavily, growling mid-breath.

“Fang… don’t you realize it? We won, Fang. There’s nothing else to be afraid of.”

Fang didn’t want to listen. She broke out of the creature’s grip, and lashed at Green, pinning him to the floor. She held her hand near his throat, and Green easily grew scared, knowing he was gonna die. Soon, Fang gasped and looked around. She found herself almost there to killing Green. “Green… What… What happened?”

“Fang… You… you tried to kill me…”

“N-No!! I… I let it happen to me… I…”

“Fang, please, relax! I’m worried about you!”

“But you just-”

“Who else will take care of you if I was dead?!”

Fang’s eyes widened. She remembered… Green took care of her all the time. He made her medicine when she was sick, he always went along to help her, and on this one, very long adventure, he had been her best friend. Who she kissed twice.

“Green… I… I’m sorry…”

“Why are you apologizing, Fang?”

“I lost control of myself… I don’t know what I can do without you…”

“Remember… I can’t do without you, and you can’t do without me. That’s what we always said, remember?”

“Right…”

Fang soon smiled. She was feeling much better after all that had happened.
