Akito and Estelle Meet Anastasia

chapter 8

Felicity dusted herself clean and looked to the others. "Everyone okay?"

The Fudo siblings started to count their Pokeballs to make sure they had all of them and smiled in relief to see that they did.

Felicity picked up her own Pokeball. "Let's go then..."

They then walked off another trail, but Mismagius didn't appear to be in her Pokeball.

"Wait, Felicity!" Mismagius called as she floated after her trainer who was unaware that she had the wrong Pokeball.

"Grab that one." Sombra whispered to his windigos.

The Windigos nodded and went over to the Ghost Pokemon's direction. Mismagius tried to float after the others as quickly as she could so she wouldn't get left behind. But unfortunately, she got caught by the windigos. Mismagius yelped out and struggled as the windigos came and took her away.

"At least we got one of their Pokemon." Sombra said.

"Which one is that then?" Rasputin asked.

"This is a Mismagius." Sombra explained.

"We couldn't destroy the girl though!" Rasputin snarled before he grew hysterical and strangled himself as he watched the others survived the train impact.

"Wow..." Bartok grew wary. "Uh, sir, you should really watch your blood pressure. My nephew Izzy just keeled over a Mincemango. Stress, it's a killer, and he's a fruit bat, no meat, no blood."

"Not the time, Bat." Sombra glared.

"HOW CAN THEY LET THEM ESCAPE?!" Rasputin snarled as he shattered a skull in his grasp.

"Uh, you're right, it's very upsetting, Your Majesty," Bartok said to King Sombra. "I guess this relic here is broken." he then decided to chuck it out of Limbo.

"No, you idiot!" Sombra glared.

Rasputin dove in and stretched out his arm to grab the relic before it could shatter.

"Where am I...?" Mismagius asked.

"You are in Limbo, my dear." Sombra smirked.

"Limbo...?" Mismagius asked. "I don't have time for limbo, I have to go make sure Felicity doesn't get hurt, I promised her parents I'd keep an eye on her!"

"This is where the ones that die go to when something isn't complete in their lives." Sombra said.

"Well, it's been nice, but I really should go..." Mismagius floated upward.

"Oh, no, you don't." Sombra smirked before taking out a dark ball.

"Whoa!" Mismagius looked worried and tried to float higher and higher.

"What is that thing...?" Bartok had to wonder.

"It's a dark ball." Sombra smirked before giving it a toss and where it hit and caught Mismagius.

Mismagius tried to go farther and farther, but got hit and caught by the black ball which then made her scream. And where the dark ball then soon returned to the evil unicorn.

Sombra held out his hoof and carried the ball in his hoof with a dark grin. "You're mine now... Mismagius."

"Should I be concerned?" Bartok asked before getting grabbed by Rasputin.

"I sold my soul for this," Rasputin growled as he squeezed the flying mammal into his hand. "My life, my very existence depends on it, and you almost destroyed it!"

"I get it! I get it!" Bartok grew fearful. "You break it, you bought it!"

"See that you remember, you miserable rat with wings!" Rasputin snarled before throwing Bartok aside.

Bartok then started to mutter something. "Oh, sure, blame the bat, we're easy targets, why not?"

"What are you muttering about?" Rasputin snarled back to him.

"Anastasia and the others, sir," Bartok replied. "Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir, especially to that charming and lonely pale girl who looks white as a sheet."

"Are you taking an interest into that vampire girl?" Sombra asked.

"Wait, she's a vampire?!" Bartok asked in shock. "I thought her canine teeth seemed pointier than the average human!"

"Yep, she's a vampire." Sombra said.

"Huh... Learn something new about kids every day..." Bartok shrugged innocently.

"Ooh, I have something else in mind..." Rasputin grinned darkly as he thought about how to get rid of Anastasia and the others. "Something more enticing, something really cruel..." he then scraped the glass with his clawed fingernails.

"I like the way you think." Sombra smirked evilly.

"Likewise." Rasputin smirked back to him.
