Stunned silence reigned. The pistol still smoked in the man’s hand, but he paid it little heed, heedless of the armed security guards coming up and wrestling the gun away from him, even as they slapped manacles on his wrists. For a moment longer, the Champion stood before he slowly slid to his knees, blood welling from his chest.

Inconceivable. Why…

It had happened so quickly. He had fired, and then the Dragon Master had thrown himself in front of Red…

Red was the one who was supposed to die…

Red knelt down next to Lance, feeling life slipping from his eyes as he kissed him. He cared not for the flashbulbs popping or the sensational story that would no doubt be pasted over the newspapers tomorrow. Lance smiled at him, and said nothing, his eyes sliding closed.

Red stood.

The Champion’s eyes were bloody red, as he flicked his fingers, too calmly, releasing his Pikachu.

“Thunderbolt.”

There was the sound of thunder.
