Chapter 39 - A Guardians Vengeance Unleashed!


As soon as the three made impact with the ground, Servine and Kirlia both flew out of Chris's arms, landing
several feet away along the edge of the river with Kirlia's lower half submerged in the water. Groaning, Servine
weakly raised up and looked in his direction, only for her pupils to tremble and tears to well up once more as
she walked up to his body. Looking him over, she didn't know where she should touch or what she should do...
His arms and legs were sprawled out, his mouth gaping open as he lay still... Whimpering, she tried nudging
his face, also trying to push him up only to see blood building up beneath his body, causing Servine to drop
him in shock and step away as tears began streaming from her eyes. Shaking her head, she tried nudging his face
once again, trying to call out to him yet unable to get a reaction, rubbing her cheek against his as she looked
up and saw the pack of Houndoom still gazing down at them before seemingly celebrating once again, spewing their
fire throughout the air above them as the leader grinned in satisfaction. Gritting her teeth, Servine put her
body over his face, holding onto him tightly while trembling from head to toe...


After a moment, Kirlia began to stirr as well, the feeling of the cool stream helping her come to as she faced
the lower half of her body and pulled herself out of the water, rubbing and shaking her head with a groan. As
she stood with a slight wobble, letting out a cough and clutching her stomach, she faced different directions
and called out for the two, walking around before suddenly picking up on Servines sobbing. Facing her direction,
Kirlia tilt her head and walked up to her with her arm out to feel where she was heading, stopping once she felt
her hand on Servines back. Feeling her trembling, she made a sound as if to ask what had happened. Glancing at
Kirlia, she slowly pulled away from Chris's face, holding her hand and allowing Kirlia to feel him. But as soon
as her hand came into contact with his body... Her eyes went wide as all of the sensations of pain he had endured
went through her all at once, pulling away with a scream and clutching her hand. Facing Servine, Kirlia made a
terrified sound, seemingly asking "...is he...?" as Servine turned and looked at his body. With a nod, she responded
sadly as Kirlia put her hands on Chris once more...


Using her abilities, Kirlia was able to run her mind throughout his body... Nearly every inch showing signs of severe
damage from the impact of the fall. His organs... Seemingly splattered inside him... Endless bones... Crushed
and mangled... And his legs... Just as mutilated on the outside as the inside... Running her trembling hands along
his body, Kirlia slowly made her way towards the center of his chest, pressing down for a moment before shutting
her eyes, her bangs hiding them in shadow... Calling out to Servine, she seemingly repeated her question, asking how
it happened... Looking above them, Servine started giving an explanation, every word causing Kirlia to show more and
more of a sudden rage in her face... Gritting her teeth more and more as her body began trembling... Slowly opening
her eyes, Kirlia started shaking Chris, shouting at him and hitting his chest, seemingly trying to give him compressions
with her tiny hands and arms. The more she shout, the more it sounded as if she was trying to say something... Over
and over, she hit his chest, calling out louder and louder... And sure enough... Her shouts began turning into human
words... "Kresa... Krusu... Khruse... Kre... Cre... Chru..." she struggled, trying to say the words in her mind with
every hit against his chest... "Chrua... Chrie... Chrir... Chr...is... Ch...ris... Chri...s..." she struggled, and
as Servine finally pulled her away, feeling she was doing more harm than good by beating on his body, Kirlia began
sobbing before forcing Servine away, standing with her fists clentched and tears streaming...


"Chr...is... Chri...s..." she struggled, shuddering from head to toe as she walked back up to him and let herself fall over
his body. "M... Mae...st... Chri...s... Mast..er...Mas...ter..." she sobbed. Behind her, Servine walked up and rubbed her
on the back... But unfortunately... This attempt at comforting wouldn't work... As high above them the leader of the Houndoom
suddenly called out to them, seemingly mocking them once more and laughing, his pack joining in... Facing back at them
with her teeth grit, Servine once again seemingly called them out as "bastards" before Kirlia suddenly climbed off Chris,
standing with her face lowered. Concerned, Servine put her hand on Kirlias shoulder, leaning her face towards hers before
being shoved away. "Mast...er...Chri...s..." she muttered, this time a tone of rage in her voice. From the side, Servine
could see her eyes beginning to glow furiously... And in response, she slowly backed away... "Maste..r..Mast...er...Mast...er..."
she growled, suddenly facing up in the direction of the Houndoom. "K...i...ll...ki..ll...kil..l" she growled as a seemingly
blood stained aura surrounded her. Looking at Kirlia in terror, Servine quickly hid behind Chris's body, peeking at her while
clutching onto his tattered clothing. As the aura around Kirlia grew more and more furious, she began trembling from head to
toe. Watching, Servine could feel something inside Kirlia changing... Something... Powerful yet... Wicked...


"Kill... Kill... I... WiLl... KILL YOU!!!!!" she suddenly screamed as the aura around her exploded and rocketed towards the
sky in a rapid spiral, the force sending Servine and Chris's body back slightly as she clutched onto him tightly. Now unable to
see Kirlia in the tornado of aura, she tried calling out to no avail... In the center, Kirlia was putting her body through a
sudden malicious and masochistic torture, forcing it to advance into her final form as she laughed, insanity seemingly taking her
over... Holding her hands up, they suddenly began splitting and ripping apart until they slowly began turning into palms with
fingers, her body cracking and ripping itself apart from head to toe as her body grew taller... Unfortunately, due to the unnatural
way she was forcing herself to evolve, her body began gashing itself open all over, blood repeatedly spilling from her body as
her laughter grew louder and louder, insanity driving her further and further... Watching from above, the pack of Houndoom began
stepping back, some seemingly wanting to run as the leader snarled towards the aura spirling high into the sky before it.


Clutching her head tightly, it was as if Kirlia was suddenly snapped back into sanity as she groaned, the horns in her head starting
to retract themselves as she continued to change... But... Unfortunately... As she felt something starting to force its way out of
her back, something in her mind snapped once again, and just as a new horn split its way through her body, Kirlia arched back and 
started laughing insanely once again. "I'M... GOING... TO..." she screamed until she felt something trying to tear its way through 
her chest. Clutching the center tightly, the second part of the horn suddenly split through her body, sending her blood flying into
the air in front of her as she arched back, gasping briefly before grinning once more. "KIIIIILL YOOOOU..." she growled through her teeth.
Suddenly, her body soared high into the air in a flash, and with a swipe of her hands, the aura split apart and faded away, revealing
herself to the pack as she float before them, blood streaming all over her body towards the ground far below. She was a Kirlia no more...
Now... She had finally become a Gardevoir, albeit a mutilated one... Facing the direction of the pack, the leader grit its teeth and
ordered an attack, and together as one, the entire group unleashed an enormous inferno in her direction, only for the blaze to split
apart when it came within an inch of her body and form what looked like wings from hell itself as it dissipate in the distance into
thin air, this causing several in the pack to step back and quickly run towards the forest.


Looking up, Servine was turning pale at the terrifying sight of their friend, now covered in her own blood. For a Pokemon to force itself
to evolve... And endure what she had so easily... It sent a shudder through her spine as she looked down at Chris, who had now started to
grow cold... Touching his face, Servine suddenly went wide eyed and pulled herself away from him as a strange light started glowing from
within his forehead.
