Oh. My. Gosh. It's been a week since I've updated this story...I'm so sorry! XP I've been feeling lazy and life got in between, so I didn't really have the time or the feeling to write a chapter. So, to make it up to you, I've added a special ending to the chapter. Enjoy! :D Warning: Blood and Gore. DX

~Flashback

The Heracross ran, desperate to find them. He heard their screams of help, and it filled his heart with terror.

'Please be okay.' He thought as dashed to the direction of the sounds.

"Hera! Fury? Where are you?" He yelled, hoping for an answer, but he was only met with silence.

 He increased his pace until he stumbled upon a clearing. The blue Bug type struggled to keep his breath.

Only to find the lifeless corpse of another Hera.

He was stunned and shook up as he looked at her face. It was full of blood and tears, and had the look of pure terror in her, once living eyes.

He heard a sound of grinding flesh and crushing bone. He turned his head...

And saw Fury in the mouth of a Ravager Steelix.

The dead body of Fury dropped out of the Steelix's mouth. It was half eaten, but the face was still there. It had a look of agony mixed with fear, something Fury never felt before.

As the Steelix eyed him hungrily, the Heracross was even more stunned. All at once, a feeling swelled inside of him. A feeling that he never had felt before.

Anger.

With a roar of rage, the Heracross charged at the Steelix with all his might. He rammed his heavy horn into it's serpentine body.

"CRASH!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" The Heracross' scream of vengeance echoed thorugh the night as he began smashing his arms in the Steelix's steel body, who roared in pain. 

"CRASH! CRASH! SMASH! SLASH! SLICE! SLICE! CRASH! SMASH! SLASH! CRASH! SLICE! SMASH! SLASH! CRASH! SLICE! SLASH!

"YEEEEAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGH!" The Heracross roared as he rammed into the decapitated head of the dead Ravager. It's body was reduced to nothing but a bloody pulp within a minute.

The Heracross let out a final cry of rage, then collapsed next to his dead friends. He was covered in blood and tears, but he didn't care. All he cared about now...

Was to destroy all Ravagers in the world.

~Flashback end

Blade woke up with a start. He could've sworn that something wasn't right.

After meeting the Yellow Bloods, he didn't know what to think about that one particular member: Ultra the Lucario.

How he smiled at him. How he asked him about his locket. It all seemed suspicious somehow. It was as if he asked Blade this because he was watching.

Waiting...

The Scizor tiptoed out of bed and to the door. Carefully creaking it open, he silently walked into the hallway.

It would've stayed silent if the stupid Ravager Purrloin stayed shut.

The thing hissed and started clawing at it's cage. Blade glared at it as footsteps from all directions appeared.

'Darn you, fiend.' He thought grumpily as Hercules' face appeared in the hallway. The rest followed.

"You're up early." Hercules groggily said, rubbing an eye.

"What are you doing out here?" Angel asked calmly.

"Did you sleep well?" Ruby cheerfully spoke.

" You didn't touch anything, did you?" Scorch spoke, his voice sounding annoyed.

"Zzz...Huh? What? Oh, nice to eat-er meet ya! I'm Jet's the Garcho-Zzz." Jets fell on the floor, snoring and dreaming.

Only Ultra was left, apparently not tired. "Well, breakfast starts now. Perfect timing." He said, still wearing that smile.

Blade watched as they all left into the kitchen. He reluctantly followed them, talking about what he was doing up so early. Only Jets was the one sleeping.

The Skarmory flew back to it's base. It watched as the door opened up slowly and steadily.

Peering in, it flew deeper in the heart of the structure. It dived, landing down on the pad.

Master." It said quietly. A loud groan came from the darkness.

"This better be good. Or you'll pay the price for it." A deep, hideous voice spoke out.

"He has located the one."

This grew some interest in the voice of the master. "The Red?"

The Skarmory nodded.

The master chuckled darkly. "You know what to do."

"Yes master."

After breakfast, the Bloods began their patrol around the grove. They showed Blade the sights, and introduced him to new faces.

Blade felt a feeling he hadn't felt in a while. Happiness.

The Pokemon were already starting to take a like to him. They played with him, talked to him, joked around with him.

It was like...It was like he was back home. Back in the hive...

Blade stopped, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Hercules and the others, especially Ruby, looked worriedly at him.

"Blade, are you alright?" Ruby's voice sounded full of nervousness.

Blade looked down. "It's just that...all this talking and playing reminds me of my foster family." He said quietly. "I wish they were here right now."

Hercules put an arm on his shoulder. "Hey there, kid. I'm sure they're fine. They did agree to let you on this journey."

Yeah, cheer up punk-er pal!" Jets stuttered. "You've got us, after all!"

"That's right. We all love you like our own brother, right Ruby?" Angel looked at her friend, who nodded in agreement. Scorch simply sighed.

Only Ultra was standing away from the group.

They all looked at his direction. "Ultra, you coming?" He didn't reply to Hercules. He just stood there, grinning.

"Ultra." He called again, waving. " What's with you now?" 

Ultra's grin grew wider. He slowly replied. "What's with me, are...

Friends."

Suddenly, an explosion occurred near the Yellow Bloods area. They covered their eyes as debris and wind blew from the blast.

They looked around...

Only to see a pack of Ravager Meowstics surrounding them.

Shocked, Hercules said, "Ultra, what are you doing?"

Ultra, who was standing with an amused smirk, replied, "Poor Hercules. All these years, you thought you were looking for the enemy." He laughed. "Who ever said that the enemy wasn't one of the pathetic Bloods?"

"I knew it!" Blade cried out angrily. "It was a trap!" He turned to Hercules. "You lied to me!"

But he was only met with rage.

The Heracross looked at Ultra with a look of pure hatred. "You traitor!" He yelled. "How could you do this, you cursed demon?!" The others also looked on with rage.

The Lucario looked pleased at his rage. "Oh Hercules, you old fools. You and your idiotic friends really thought you could get in the way of the Savage clan. But, now you and your home will pay the price for it." He turned away. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have business to take care of." 

Ultra took off as the Ravagers began to terrorize the citizens. Anguished screams littered the town as Pokemon ran and were being devoured alive. The growls of the vicous creatures echoed throughout the grove.

The six looked at the corrupted Meowstic surrounding them. They were closing in on them. "Get ready!" Hercules shouted. The others and Blade braced themsleves as the cats leaped, waiting to attack.

Theywould've killed them on their own if something hadn't appeared so suddenly and sliced all of the Ravagers' heads off.

The six Pokemon watched, surprised and stunned as all the bodies of the Meowstics fell to the earth. Five of them looked in the direction of their savior. The last one was Blade. He hesitantly looked up...

And nearly choked on his heavy breathing.

"Y-you...your..."He managed to say before tears filled his eyes.

The Pokemon nodded. "It's been a while..."

Brother.
