Closure

( Just so you know I only had time to write this chapter before I went to bed so some of it might not make sense or stuff like that. Lol, sorry about any mistakes and the long wait there was for this last chapter. )

In the last chapter:

Ash raised the sword so it crossed over to his left shoulder. He was just a couple feet away from Brock, who was kneeling on the ground.

" So.... any last words? " Ash asked once he was right in front of him, a sinister smile formed on his face.

Brock couldn't move his gaze from the eyes that stared down at him, awaiting his answer. He sighed and let a tear fall down his face before he answered.

" I guess there's nothing else to say. " He said and closed his eyes.

With that Ash raised the aura sword above his head and swung it down in a swift movement.

------------

Brock kept his eyes closed, waiting.

...

But nothing happened.

He opened his eyes and saw Ash in front of him, the blade of the sword almost touching his neck. Ash's wet hair drooped across his face, shading his eyes. He just stood there, not moving an inch.

After a few seconds the end of his lips curved into a friendly smile, he stepped back and burst out laughing, clutching onto his stomach.

Everyone else stared at him, they were speechless.

" Nice fuckin last words! " Ash commented in between laughs.

" What are you doing?! " Lysandre yelled at him. " I ordered you to kill him! I command you! "

" You're not very observant, are you? " Ash said, wiping away the tears that formed from laughing to hard.

The aura sword that he held disintegrated as he walked away from the group, back to the spot he stood in when they first saw him.

" Although I gotta say, it was quite fun to play the part. " He laughed.

He stopped in front of one of the bodies that laid on the ground and held his hand out.

" What do you think, Serena? " Ash asked as Serena grabbed his hand and pulled herself up.

" I hope I never have to play dead again. " She smiled and dusted off her red stained clothes.

" Ugh... " Gary groaned and stood up. " Definitely not the best place to take a nap. "

" You got that right. " Sawyer agreed.

Lysandre along with the traitors stared at the group with a 'wtf' expression.

" You mean...." May began.

" This was... " Max continued.

" All a... " Cilan added.

" Trick? " Iris finished.

Ash turned to face them as he placed his hand on his hip.

" Yup! " He smiled.

The traitors let out a sigh of relief.

" Oh but don't get me wrong, I still hate you. " Ash added.

" So he's...? " Misty asked and pointed towards Lysandre.

" Still a bad guy that wants to kill me along with everyone else. So you know, nothing really new. " Ash replied.

" W-what is this?! " Lysandre exclaimed. " Why aren't you...? "
