BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR

🌹ONE STEP AHEAD🌹

"Heard any news?" Ash asked Lance as they walked in a convenience store to get supplies as Lance lightly nodded his head.

"Like what?" Ash asked him as Lance placed his card on the counter.

"I doubt you would love to hear about it. Although there is something more important we should talk." Lance said picking up the stuff with Ash as they walked out of the store.

"Hmm." Ash hummed motioning him to continue as they walked toward their SUV.

"It was just as you suspected." Lance said as Ash smirked in response. His hunch was right. Cynthia and Clair were really awesome in this department too. Just a little clue and they will get out a whole story out of it.

"Intriguing. We will need to act quickly then." Ash muttered as Lance opened the door of the SUV and dropping all the stuff in the empty seat and walking away to get the rest

"Hina loves daddy this much." Hina streched her hands as much as she could sitting on Clair's lap as she smirked in competition. The other two being asleep due to the not so great road. Pikachu yawned lightly sitting on Hina's head not wanting to take part in this game.

"Oh really then mama loves daddy this much." Clair streched her arms and smirked in victory.

"My arms are longer. Mama loves daddy more." Clair muttered as Hina hugged her whimpering about how bad it is that she is soo small. Clair chuckled at her grabbing a can from the front and opening it and offered it to Hina.

"Thank you mama." She grabbed the can and drank it as Clair looked at her. She had really became kinda like their real daughter. Hina offered the can to pikachu who gulped it and jumped on Hina's lap as she rubbed its fur.

"As if that would work. Anyway we will talk about it later." Lance entered the car only to be followed by Ash who sat in the front seat and offered the stuff to Clair who grabbed a little of it.

Their car entered the kingdom as Ash looked out of the car looking how much it had changed. It was no longer a kingdom from ancient past. It became more like a modern city with a hint of ancient touch.

"I talked with Lady Ilene. She said she had prepared rooms for us." Lance said as he stopped the car at the foot of the cameron palace as he turned around.

"Mama wake up. We reached Rosa." Hina shook the other two occupants as Clair chopped her head.

"It is Rota Hina. I told you before too right." Clair chided her as she huffed in response.

"Rosa sounds cool. Like rose. Right Daddy?" Hina asked Ash as he shook his head in confusion. The other two woke up rubbing their eyes as Ash got off the car.

"Ash, you finally reached. I hope you didn't had too much trouble." A voice said as Ash turned around to face queen Ilene standing there with her guards and Mime Jr who mimicked her.

Uhh if you call being beat to death not too much trouble then yeah.

"I guess?" Ash answered which sounded more like a question than a answer. The other people got off the car as she motioned her guards to grab their luggage as Ash sighed tiredly.

"I believe you know why i am here?" Ash asked as she nodded her head.

"We found a few things about Ashura clan and tree of life that even we didn't knew. If you May?" She asked asking them to follow them. He turned around and faced the three and Hina who was running around with pikachu.

"I will come too. I know a little about aura from those books too." Cynthia said absent-minded walking toward Ash as he nodded his head. She was right.
