Aftermath-Chapter 1-Mina's Death

Disclaimer: First off...this is just a Fanfiction. Was inspired by Pokemon, which was created by Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures, etc. The characters themselves, names, and attitudes are from my imagination. The character's breed on the other hand, are from the creative minds that created Pokemon.

It has been three weeks since my encounter with the Federation, and I am happily anticipating the arrival of my litter. Mina has been handling the pregnancy well, and regardless of what I tell her, she refuses to rest. I swear she worries me a great deal, and I worry even more when she takes her trips away from the island. Now, she decides it is time to take another trip.

"Love," she starts out. "I'm heading up to the mainland. There's someone in Claifornia I must go tend to."

"Mina, for once, please let me go with you." I pleaded.

"It's still too dangerous for us to both leave the island. It's a close friend of mine..."

"I want to ensure your safty, love." I interrupted.

"I will be fine," she re-assures. "I'd love to see anyone try to take me on."

"But..."

"No buts, love." she interrupts. "I must go to my friend. She needs my help, and I'll feel better knowing you're safe here. Besides, if they really wanted me, they would have had me already."

I knew she was right, and that no matter what I said, she would not let me go. I lowered my head, already worried about her.

"Alright," I mumbled. "You may go."

We kissed each other deeply. I still didn't want to let her go, I felt that she may not return. She smiled as she broke the kiss gently, flying up and out off the island.

"I shall return soon, my love." she echoed back into my mind.

Sadly, I believed her.

Phew, at least he gave up to me this time, I thought as I began my flight. It was a distance to the States, and I already know the dangers that await there. We have the same fight every time I decide to leave the island, and I undstand why. I pat my belly, feeling his wonderful gift of life kicking at my paws. I'd say theres about 7 in there, and I intend to keep them this time. It was early morning, and I enjoyed the early sea air. Nice cool and crisp.

The journey only took a few hours, and I was flying fast and high, as to not be spotted. I moved lower as I neared my friends place, finding a nice alleyway to land in. I quickly land, and hide my true form, taking special effort to hide my tail as well. I begin walking down the alley when something suddenly hit me upon the head, instantly returning me to my true form.

Before I even had the chance to turn to see what it was, I felt a knife slice my artery tube in half, gushes of blood coming from the cut as I fell to the ground. My eyes instantly clouded, but I let out screams as I felt something jammed into my belly, crying as I felt the lives inside me instantly fade. I was only concious long enough after that to feel my tail sliced clean off. I had walked into a trap, and I cried and gasped my last breath, my mind screaming as I died.

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

"Good work, men." I said, watching the creature die.

Jonas and James knew it was necessary, she didn't intend upon coming back.

"Jake, what are we going to do to the body?" James asked.

"Simple, we're going to place her body in Drako's home, as a warning." I replied.

That shitheaded creature had left us too long ago, but we cannot snag him when he's among others. Especially since one of them was his new trainer. If we don't snag him in 6 months, the leaders will declare him free and release him, but this was personal. I had to get my hands on him before then, otherwise it would not only violate regulation, it would be deemed illegal. Even though we created them, in six months, they are public and declared endangered. Fucking legal system, and the civilians that made the legal system as fucked up as it is.

We carried the body to the waiting chopper, Drako was training right now, so we'd have to act fast. As quickly as we were in the chopper, it lifted up and flew off towards New Island. It was only about a couples hours flight, giving us exactly thirty minutes to make the drop and get out of there without being noticed. We got to the island, and as anticipated, noone noticed our entry into Drako's room. We lied down Mina's dead body on his bed, three of the fetuses also lain with a note to Drako. The note read, "Keep your guard up, you're next." That better keep him in check. We are not playing around.

Well, it only took us a few minutes to accomplish this mission, we headed back to the chopper and in an hour we were stateside again. Chances are, he will not risk being alone ever. That should teach him.

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

After a long day of training, I returned to my quarters. Master doesn't exactly train lightly, so I was a bit tired. I walked into my room, hoping I would find Mina. What I did find, I did not expect. I looked at the bed, and noticed Mina, but I also noticed three smaller bodies. I walked closer to the bed, finding the four dead bodies. I knew what I had to do, it was painful, but I teleported the bodies to the cave, and followed them. I put the bodies in the firepit, burning what I could. Even Drakalla showed interest in what I was doing, and she realized I was doing the most painful part of my vows to my mate. Tending to her death.

I collaped onto the ground, watching the bodies burn as I cried. Drakalla kept her distance, she knew there was nothing she could do to help, except keep the fire going. I bawled, the tears not showing any signs of end as they burned. I cried through the night, not getting a wink of sleep.

The next morning, I took the ashes and bones, and threw them into the sea. I trudged to my room, not even able to make it, so I collapsed in a dark corner in the main lobby. I spent the next 3 days crying in the corner, before my master finally found me.

"Drako, what's wrong?" she asked me.

"Master, they...they killed Mina."
