Chapter 30 Chip Chip and Zephyr passed by the crossroads where Zephyr decided to take the opposite route earlier. In the dim moonlight the Zorua noticed there was extra pawprints in the snow that wasn’t there earlier. The fairyeon seemed a little slightly troubled as if something had happened nearby. Chip didn’t want to go looking for trouble, but he too couldn’t help but get the feeling as if something wasn’t right. “Zephy-“ Chip said outload. “Radiance…” Zephyr held onto Chip tightly, the Sylveon’s mind seemed to be wondering towards where Chip felt a battle might have happened. “Zephy…oh that is funny. Come on Kitsune, I need to see if my mother is ok.” “You could drop me off…” “Can’t do that Chippy, Meadow would get upset if something were to happen to you. Besides we do not know if the trouble is still around here and I feel that the Legendary Pokemon are all split up right now.” Chip noticed that they had started moving towards what he believed might east. The Zorua gulped, he didn’t want to go hunting for trouble, despite what he might want to believe he wasn’t a fighter. Heck he barely could defend himself from an Eevee, how could he support Zephyr or anyone else for that matter if they got into a fight. “Zephyr…I’m not sure-“ “Just watch my back.” Zephyr seemed to have read his mind and his fears. “First rule of fighting be mindful of your surroundings. This is your best offense and your best defense, be mindful if you’re fighting in an area where you can take advantage of the environment around you. Even a small rock could work to your advantage, at the same time it could be used against you.” “You’re a fairy…” Chip couldn’t believe he was taking advice from Zephyr. How could someone so cute be so strong too… “Is it because I’m cute that you think I can’t fight.” Zephyr and Chip were nearing where the battle had taken place, the snow and surrounding vegetation looked damaged and disturbed. Chip gulped, the Zorua’s claws were sticking to the Sylveon’s body. “I’m scared…and yes…your too cute to be strong.” Chip blushed. “Don’t worry Mr. Zorua, I’ll protect you.” Chip felt himself being squeezed. “After this you can give me a big kiss. “Gross!” “Did you say that before or after you blew Meadow?” Chip heard Zephyr giggle. “I’m just saying…what is more gross, blow job or giving someone a kiss? Both involve you putting your mouth somewhere on another’s body. Besides Chip, I know how you like to give rimmies.” Before Chip could respond the pair reached the clearing where clearly the main battle had taken place. All around them snow had been disturbed, a strong aggressive aura seemed to be lingering in the air…just being around it made Chip want to jump into combat. Gulping the dark fox held onto the older fox for support. “Maybe we should leave this too –“ “Help, help.” Chip and Zephyr saw Fenzura racing over to them, the small Vulpix had a look of despair on his face. “Yo-you came just in time. My sister…my mother…Radiance…” “Radiance…” Zephyr moved quickly the Sylveon ran as fast as he could towards where Fenzura had come from. Chip could smell the young fox’s fear scent, it was so strong that Chip barely could smell anything else. As the trio reached where the other Pokemon were Chip could sense that something…no someone power had been here. Could it have been Dynamo? Yes, it had been Dynamo for sure there was no other Pokemon it could have been. The first thing Chip noticed once he started paying attention to the other Pokemon was the blood…BLOOD? “Ribbon!” “Chip…do not panic.” Zephyr calmly stated, the Sylveon puts a paw on the unconscious Vulpix. Chip gulped as he waited to hear what Zephyr would say. The blood though…it was everywhere…the odor it began hitting Chip who puts his paws over his nose. “She’s hurt.” “What gave you that idea?” Chip snapped. Calmly Zephyr squeeze’s Chip’s body. “That is all she is though…is just hurt. She’s lost some blood but…the way her wound is…I can sense that whoever did this- “ “Dynamo!” Fenzura said, the young Vulpix was shivering. “He…he easily defeated my mom…my sister…my…my other mom…” “What happened here, besides the obvious.” Zephyr rub’s Ribbon’s fur. “We confronted Dynamo who easily broke out of Radiance’s trap and…even with their combined strength he was too much. My sister…she was stabbed by Dynamo…who said… “I should have done this long ago…” That…that bastard!! My sister…she is innocent…Ribbon…” Fenzura puts his face against Ribbon’s body, the fire fox was crying his eyes out. “Fen…zura…” Everyone heard Ruby from a short distance away, the older Vulpix was slow to get up. Fenzura gasped at the sight of his mother. “Mommy…” “Ya…how is my little…girl doing.” “Seriously…” Fenzura groaned. “Guess she is ok…” “Well he took it easy on us.” Chip heard Radiance mutter, the Eevee like her mate was slow to get up. Chip could feel Zephyr’s emotions…they seemed mixed. Chip could sense that Zephyr was happy and sad with a bit of…anger. Why would he be sad and angry at his mother? “Mom, you know better.” Zephyr said before nuzzling the Eevee. “I know…I promised.” Radiance said while Chip was subjected to watching the two Eeveelutions kiss and make up. “She’s going to be ok.” Ruby spoke from the side, the older Vulpix was tending to her children. Chip wondered why everyone was so calm about Ribbon…there was so much blood… “None fatal wound?” Radiance asked, the Eevee kissed her son again before slowly limping over to Ribbon. “Appears he knows restraint.” “Luckily its only a flesh wound, a few days of rest should be enough.” Ruby sighed. “Meadow should be able to heal her, are you fit for travel?” “Yes, when we get back I’ll put on some tea, I’m rather thirsty.” “Wait…wait!!!” Chip howled, both Ruby and Radiance looked at him, confusion was plastered all over their faces. Chip felt mildy uncomfortable, the Zorua hadn’t thought through what he would say if they paid him mind. “Oh Kitsune, you seem to be glowing tonight, did you get laid?” Radiance giggled the Eevee puts a paw on Zephyr’s cheek. “Always treat them right.” “Of course.” “Oh, my Arceus…” Chip puts a paw on his face. “LOOK HERE! Ribbon is in trouble- “ “No, she is not.” Ruby raised a paw, Ribbon’s body was lifted out of the snow, a few drops of blood dripped into the snow. “She might look bad, but it’s no more than nasty flew wound, Dynamo’s horn missed all of her vital organs…in fact he missed everything, only leaving her a nice scar.” “Yes, Dynamo purposely did this simply to keep us from chasing after him anymore. He is worthy opponent, strong, very cunning and most of all…remembered that we do not kill innocents.” Chip felt like Radiance was admiring Dynamo, her words, her tone, they told of how impressed she was. “I want to bring him in even more now Ruby, I am truly at a loss as to what side he is on, or if he killed Windy at all.” “I don’t care if he did kill Windy, he is going to answer for hurting my daughter.” Ruby started walking, Ribbon’s body floated alongside the older Vulpix. Fenzura followed behind his family leaving Chip and the Eeveeluvtions behind. “We’ll get to the truth…there is still time.” Radiance waved for her son and Chip to follow her, they were done for the night. Chip was at a loss for words, how could they be so calm, as if this was an everyday thing. The blood, the fighting, this level of violence, how could anyone simply just walk it off as if this was an everyday thing. Radiance and seemed to sense his feelings and oddly out of the blue answered his question. “During the war there were many moments like this, you grow use to it.” “But we’re not in war…and that is my friend Ribbon.” Chip snapped back, Radiance glared at the Zorua, her eyes seemed to burn a hole into his soul. “That is my daughter…don’t not believe for on moment that I do not want to hurt Dynamo just as much as he hurt her. But we were defeated today, simple as that. Any more violence would be senseless and possibly lead to greater wounds. He…he could have ended all of us tonight Chip…just like…just like….” “Mom?” “I…Azura…I…I need a moment…” Radiance picked up the pace. “Did I?” Chip asked the Sylveon. “No, you didn’t say anything wrong, you spoke your mind, your worried about Ribbon just as you should be. You and I are not warriors, soldiers, we are not use to war or battles. To us fighting is something fun that has little to no consequences.” Zephyr smiled at Chip. “You are so cute tonight, I kind of want to fuck you again.” “I’m not….um…thanks.” Blushing the Zorua gives the Sylveon’s head a kiss. “I’m…in a good mood.” Chip blushed, the Zorua truly was oddly enough…happy. “But don’t go thinking that you can call me cute, because I’m not cute, I’m cool. One cool fox.” “Alright then Chip, whatever you say.” Chip feels a smack on his ass. “Whatever you say, cutie.”
