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 she slowly slid to her knees, blood welling from her chest. Heartbeat after heartbeat, crimson fluid oozed out, coating her black bodysuit.

It was inconceivable! Why…
Everything had happened so quickly. He had fired, and then the Dragon Master had thrown herself in front of Red.
That boy was the one who was supposed to die! His employer had paid him well to remove all obstacles from his path. Said orders included not harming the Leader of the Elite Four – he had planned to marry her as part of his plan to seize power.
Now, everything was topsy-turvy, gone wrong!

Red knelt down next to Lance, feeling life slipping from her eyes as he kissed her. He cared not for the flashbulbs popping or the sensational story that would no doubt be pasted over the newspapers tomorrow. She smiled at him, and said nothing, golden lenses sliding closed.
This time, it was permanent.
He stood. The murderer was still staring at them. So be it.
The Champion’s eyes were bloody red, as he flicked his fingers, too calmly, releasing his Pikachu.

“Thunderbolt.”
There was the sound of thunder.

This is very vaguely inspired by ‘Sound of Thunder’ by Ray Bradbury, but the circumstances are quite different!
