Solano "Well... now I've done it..." Trent told his scrawny Sandslash. "I... I didn't mean to do it... but..." Trent looked at the pictures in his crummy apartment. "Ma... Pa..." he said as he looked at a picture of his parents. "I'm not fit to live. I broke ma' promise to you..." Tears began to run down Trent's sunken cheeks. His Sandslash rubbing him on the back. "Thanks, Sandslash." He said, sniffling. "But I'm afraid it ain't gonna do any good... I just can't live with myself after what I've done..." "Slash?" "No, I can't turn myself in... there's only one way out." Trent put down the picture of his parents and walked out of his apartment. He climbed to the roof and looked over the edge at the busy street below. "Sandslash... take care of yourself," he said as he stepped onto the ledge. "Sandslash... slash..." his loyal Sandslash replayed, looking away. Trent looked at the sky, and down at the street. He close his eyes, and jumped. As Trent fell, he could feel the air rush against him. His entire life flashed before his eyes- his birth, his childhood, and the event that caused him to do this. The last thing he saw in his mind before he hit the solid pavement below was Lance. Several cars swerved as the body unexpectedly fell from the sky. Hearing the commotion, Sandslash looked over to see a large, red splat on the road, the remains of his master. Now what would he do? After thinking it through for a few seconds, Ashura took a running start and jumped off the building, spinning wildily in midair. Now all that remained of the two was a red mess with chunks of brown fur and tan flesh. Very few spectators seemed to care. To them, it was just another day.
