All present in the church froze at Gatoris’ words. Alisa turned to her grandfather. "Edwin is a bad man, isn’t he?" she asked. "…Bad would be an understatement." Akane replied. Gatoris’ pupils disappeared once again. "Everyone get out of here. I’m going to finish this." he ordered. No one headed for the door. "Not today, Gatoris. This is not the place to finish it…" Aerith spoke. He sighed. "Right. I’m going to teleport us all out of here…" Everyone then held hands as Gatoris began to chant once again. Before he finished, he quickly broke off ,and had Aerith hold Akane’s hand. ‘Forgive me, but this is the time’ he told his family telepathically. With that, everyone returned to Castle Tonberry, except Gatoris and a certain someone else.

Yuffie looked from her spot in the back corner of the church. She had tagged along, despite her cousin’s refusal. She figured since they were going to Scotland, she could steal some good scotch and sell it. Now Yuffie’s profiteering ideas had got her in a church that was not a real smart place to be. She knew that any time Gatoris and Edwinite were in the same country, let alone the same building, the sparks flew. Yuffie tried to show as little fear as possible when hiding for both her cousin and Edwinite.

Gatoris’ transformation into Psycho Angel was fast and abrupt. This time, however, he looked more human than monster. "Come out, Edwin! I know you’re here!" he bellowed as he clutched his sword. It was then when Edwin jumped down from the rafters. "I wouldn’t do anything rash now, Garret… not if you care for your daughter…" he said, holding a Pokéball over his head. Gatoris suddenly returned to normal and fell to his knees. As he began to tremble in tears, Edwin laughed. "Now… you’re going to do as I say, or your precious Jessica is history!"

Yuffie saw and heard the whole thing from her corner. As long as Edwinite had Jessica in that Pokéball, Gatoris was helpless. For some reason, she showed no fear about confronting Edwinite. She remembered when she was possessed by Jenova, Gatoris spared her life instead of just killing her. Yuffie felt it was finally time to pay her cousin back.

Gatoris cried while Edwinite laughed. All of a sudden, something sped past both of them. When it stopped, Gatoris was holding the Pokéball and Yuffie was standing next to him. Without a word of thanks, he sent her back to the castle. Gatoris then opened the ball. He then looked in horror when it was empty. The spark was back in Gatoris’ fire, and he was about to take out his anger. Again, the transformation was swift, and more humanoid. He also had green hair. Had he gone back to his beginning? "Edwin, son of Pikachu… you have angered me for the last time! You have killed my family many times over, and I have had enough! You shall make this church your grave!" Edwinite gasped at the beginning of the speech. How did he know Pikachu was his father? Before Garret could bring his sword down upon Edwin’s head, he produced a detonation device. "I have Jessica in the back. If I blow this church, you two go with it!" he laughed. This time, Garret did not back down. "You’re bluffing. She is not here. I would have sensed her now, seeing how she would be out in the open." He roared. Edwin gave a coy grin. "You’re saying that you would risk your daughter’s life to get rid of me?" "No, because that isn’t the scenario." Garret replied. He was now in Edwin’s face. "You going to go through this suicide bombing run for your father?" Without another word, Edwin pushed the plunger. The entire church became engulfed with a fireball, and it was reduced to a pile of rubble. Somehow, both Garret and Edwin were alive, in the center of what was left.

Garret looked at the empty Pokéball in his hand, then Edwin. Without another word, he captured the rat’s son in the ball. "Now it is time for Pikachu to know my own hell…" Garret muttered. He dusted his wings off, and flew back to the portal before any locals blamed him for the destruction of the ancient church.

Gatoris touched down in the center of the courtyard. Everyone was waiting. "That was not needed, Gatoris. It was not the time to kill Edwin…" Cory sighed. Her brother then held the Pokéball containing said asshole. "I know. I am just playing a waiting game with his father." No one asked who Edwin’s father was. "We going to get on with the wedding or not?" Gatoris asked, returning to his normal self. Cory and Brad smiled. Gatoris decided he should do the ceremony. He dusted his clothes off and walked over to the altar. He cleared his throat and began to the ceremony. "I doubt anyone here objects, so I’ll skip that part." Gatoris joked. "Now do you, Cory Kathleen Bradford, take Bradley Garrett Mackenzie… hold up!" he stopped himself. "So you’re the one I was named after in my last life. Oh well. Let’s start that over." Brad and Cory shrugged it off. "Do you Cory, take Brad to be your husband? To love and to honor, to cherish, until death... Eh, forget death! Until the end of time?" Cory nodded. "I have, I will, and I do." she replied, being as wordy as her brother. Gatoris then turned to Brad. "Do you, Bradley Garrett Mackenzie, take Cory Kathleen Bradford to be wedded wife? To love and honor? To cherish? Until the end of time, or until you hurt her and I have to kill you?" Everyone held back a chuckle. "I don’t know why I would do the last part of that, but I do." Brad spoke back. Gatoris then produced a box with rings. "Almost forgot the most important part..." he muttered as he opened it to reveal rings similar to his and Aerith’s. Brad took one ring and prepared to place it on Cory’s hand. "Repeat after me: With this ring, I thee wed." Gatoris spoke. Brad slipped the ring on Cory’s finger, and repeated the words. Cory then grabbed the other ring, and noticed a problem. "I doubt that this ring is going to fit on his thumb!" she pointed out. Gatoris took it in his hands, and shrunk the ring. He then gave it back to Cory. "Now repeat after me, Cory: With this ring, I thee wed." Cory did as such. "I now pronounce you man and wife." Gatoris exclaimed. "Now if you excuse me, I’m going to lock myself in my study and try to figure out where I went wrong as a father..." he continued as he left the courtyard, carrying the Pokéball holding Edwin.

Somewhere, Gatoris was sure Pikachu was laughing at him. He was suffering, and he could do nothing. He had never been more angry or distraught over anything in his life… no, his entire existence! Pikachu had finally done it to him. He had found Garret’s weak spot: his family. The tears flowed freely in Gatoris’ study. Aerith kept knocking on his door, trying to comfort him. Nothing could comfort Gatoris now. The rat had his daughter, and he was helpless. He cried himself to sleep at his desk.

Gatoris then woke up to the sound of Aerith screaming in the hallway. He unlocked the study door and saw the unthinkable: someone had just killed her. When her assailant turned around, Gatoris fell to his knees. There was a woman standing there, wearing a black leather dress that slightly exaggerated her figure. She was carrying a broadsword, and had a black crescent moon on her forehead. Gatoris looked into her eyes… Pikachu had taken his daughter away from him. As he cried, another figure appeared next to Jessica. She kissed him on the cheek. "My work’s done, dad," she spoke. Gatoris cried harder upon hearing this. "Good, Jess. Now would you mind getting rid of this fool in front of us?" Pikachu asked. In his anger, Gatoris grabbed his sword and plunged it into Pikachu’s stomach. Or so he thought. When Gatoris opened his eyes again, he saw that his aim had been true, but he had hit Jessica. Gatoris was unable to utter a word. "You just killed your own daughter, Garret. Thanks for saving me the trouble" Pikachu smiled. Jessica returned to normal and looked at her father. "Don’t cry, dad. This was all my fault. I should have never gone after him…" she said as she coughed up blood. Gatoris still could not speak. "Thank you, dad… thank you for everyth…" Jessica began to speak before expiring. Gatoris looked at his daughter’s body. He had just killed one of his angels. He pulled his sword out of her and looked at it. Without even cleaning it, he pointed it at his chest. As he began to plunge it into his heart…

…Gatoris woke up. It had all been a cruel dream. Pikachu must have wanted him to suffer even more anguish and torture. He was getting fed up with the rat annoying him like this. This time, however, he had a bargaining chip. If he could reach Pikachu, Gatoris could get Jessica back by exchanging her for Edwin. He unlocked the safe he had put the Pokéball in. After checking his sword, Gatoris began to head out to the main entrance. Then, there was a knock on the door.

Gatoris answered the door, and Jessica held up the rat. Gatoris hugged her, and cried very hard. She said, "Father, I’m sorry for making you worry, but I did this for you. You showed me that you’d do anything for me, and I did this so that you would have peace." Jessica hugged her father back. Akane walked to the door wondering who it was. She hugged Jessica upon spotting her. Aerith, Minako, Alma, and Alisa came to the door and hugged Jessica as well.

Gatoris took the dead rat away, and then came back. Jessica was kneeling on the floor, and everyone was standing behind her. Jessica asked, "What is my punishment, father?" Gatoris looked at Jessica, then to Aerith, and back to Jessica. He answered, "Go clean your comet." Jessica stood up and Gatoris said, "I was kidding! I’m just glad that you came back to me the way you always have been. There is one thing I want you to do, though." Jessica looked at him, knowing what he was going to say, and said, "I promise I will not take off to kill Pikachu by myself again." Alisa hugged Jessica.
