Beginning of the Locust
On a small planet in the universe more commonly known as Earth. Many of the deity pokemon of the planet were in a deep slumber, only to be awoken in times of danger.
Or for a meeting with the God pokemon Arceus. However in this case it was for danger. The legendaries were being captured by something. But the God could tell it was not a human cause.
"What is going on?" She asked herself, since she was alone in the Hall of Origin. "Where are they? They can't have disappeared." She repeated to herself over and over again.
She knew she was overworking herself. But she was worried. She was missing half of the Legendaries and the number continued to rise.
BANG!
Arceus suddenly felt an extremely strong electrical current flow through her spine and attack all of her muscles. Her central nervous system was shot and she couldn't feel a thing.
"Target Down!" She heard a raspy, hoarse voice say. "Capture! Take to the Queen..." That was all she heard before Arceus fell into unconsciousness.
One Week Later
A lone figure in a cloak ran as fast as it could. The figure was miniature and was carrying a machine gun weapon in it's arms enhanced with a chainsaw bayonet.
"GET HIM!" A group of ugly, humanoid figures with the qualities of insects followed this figure, firering all of their respective weapons, Bolt-action rifles, at him, trying to wound him.
The figure paused briefly at the opening to a forest. "Ilex Forest." He nodded to himself before charging through the bushes, examining every bush and tree in search for something. The creatures still at his tail, he spun around and got behind a large, thick tree and open fired.
The spray of bullets towards the creatures forced them into cover, however one was too slow and was hit in the chest, killed instantly. "One down, three to go!" The figure thought to himself as he continued to fire.
One of the creatures looked over to check their target's position but got his head blown off by a stray round. The other two fired back with as much as they could, but they didn't look in fear of getting hit, so their bullets missed.
The figure made it's way around them through the bushes. They had no idea what was going on until one of them was shot by a close range barrage bullets. The other thought quickly and charged the figure with it's fists, unaware that the figure revved up the chainsaw bayonet.
ZZZZZZZ! The chainsaw ripped through the flesh of the creature like a hot knife slicing butter. A spray of the creature's red blood was sent every where. Getting all over the figure.
"Well this is not what I had planned for my week!" The figure cried out in frustration. "Getting hunted down by creatures from underground is not my idea of fun!" He continued to rant until he found a river.
He took his cloak off to wash the blood out of it to reveal a feline like body, with a tail three times the length of his normal body. But what's most noticeable about him was that he was pink.
He soaked the cloak in the murky water and sighed to himself. "I guess they got Celebi. She would never let the water around her place get this dirty." He took it out and twisted it to get the water out before placing it back on. "Guess I'm the only one left."
He left the forest and got out a small phone and dialled a number. "Aura, meet me by Mt. Coronet. Bring Fluff and Ratchet as well. Mew out." The figure, Mew stated into the phone before teleporting to the said location.
At the base of Mt. Coronet
"Aura!" A voice called out. The jackal like humanoid, blue and yellow pokemon looked over to see a vehicle move towards him. This vehicle had four wheels and heavy armour plating on all areas, a machine gun on it's left and right flanks as well as a small rocket launcher on the top.
"Good to see you too Ratchet." The Lucario said. The side door opened to reveal green pokemon with bulbous red eye's and four diamond like green wings. The Flygon grinned to his friend.
"You too Aura. And don't forget Fluff!" The other door opened to reveal brown and cream, long eared, fluffy armed, bipedal pokemon known as Lopunny.
"Good to see you too Fluff." Fluff blushed before replying.
"You too Aura. So where's Mew?" As if to answer her question a chainsaw bayonet slicing flesh could be heard nearby and out of the bush came the pink pokemon, carrying a disfigured corpse of one of the creatures.
"Sorry I'm late. Just got caught out by a group of three. No match for me though. How's the ride Ratchet?" Ratchet grinned proudly.
"Great! She's just about ready for anything!"
"Good. Cause I located the Legendaries. Those Locust made one mistake. They took all the other legendaries, so their aura was concentrated so it was easy for me to locate them."
"Well. Where are they?" Fluff asked, nibbling the tips of her ears. It was a bad habit of hers. Mew sighed. That same habit reminded him of Celebi's bad habit of chewing the tips of her fingers.
"They are right below us. Underground." They all now looked down.
"Well how are we suppose to go down there?" Aura asked.
"The Locust burrow to create caves so they can transport things from the surface to their turf. So there must be an entrance around the mountain some where."
"Right. Well let's get into the vehicle and go search!" Ratchet replied, getting into the drivers seat.
"Shotgun!" Mew smiled and got into the passenger seat. Aura shrugged and got into the back along with Fluff.
"Well, let's find ourselves an entrance!" He announced as the four of them headed off around the mountain.
Inside the Locust Prison Camp
All of the Legendaries from Arceus to Zapdos were all in separate cages. Each cage wasn't very big and was very cramped for most. Then in came a Bulky locust with thick armour they know as a Mauler, or a jailer. "Almost. With all of you gone. The Locust can emerge and take our rightful place on the surface."
"Then why are you keeping us alive? And above all that who are you?" This question came from the very brave Raikou. The Jailer turned and smirked towards him.
"Good eyes. I am not an ordinary soldier. I am RAAM! One of the best. And in charge of torture." The rest of the legendaries gulped as four ordinary jailers emerged. "Take prisoners 023, 091, 003 and 128." He said in a raspy voice and turned to leave.
The jailers then opened up Heatran's cage along with Moltres's, Latios's and Entei's. They were then forced deeper into the building and the others could see two of them going onto a giant, ugly looking creature with a platform on it. They were then taken away.
"Where are they being taken?" Lugia asked anyone in fear of what could happen to Moltres.
"How should we know?" Ho-oh replied, snappily before getting scolded by Kyogre.
"She's worried dude. Leave her alone."
"I just hope some-one is looking for us." Cresselia said. Darkrai patted her back comfortingly. (Their cages were next to each others.)
"We do have hope. Mew isn't with us. He could sense our aura." He said with a look of determination. Celebi shook her head.
"We all know he's stupid. But he's not stupid enough to face an army of ugly monsters to try and save us."
"Stupid no." Mewtwo said calmly. "Loyal, Brave and determined enough, possibly. Arceus did create him to be powerful. And maybe he got some help. We can only hope he's more intelligent than we think he is."
With Mew
Mew sighed as they entered the burrows of the mysterious creatures in search of his fellow legendaries. "What's up sir?" Ratchet asked.
"Just worried for my friends. I know that they can take care of themselves. But that doesn't stop me worrying." He replied, looking around. He saw that the whole area was disgusting, but it wasn't that much of a surprise to him.
"Yeah. I suppose worry just shows tha..." Aura's words were suddenly drowned out as Mew put his paw over his mouth and told Ratchet to shut off the engines.
"Locust patrol. Five hostiles. Hold fire. Let's take this quietly and see what they're doing." He pointed straight ahead as they all got out of the vehicle, which was concealed behind a stalactite, and crouched down to get behind another, at a closer proximity to the patrol.
"What are they doing?" Fluff asked, noticing the strange blue pod they're carrying. Mew then sensed a powerful fire aura inside the container.
"Moltres is in that thing." Mew said urgently. "Get them guys!" He then got up and fired a round out of his Lancer hitting the Locust at the front, causing his head to explode. The other Locust quickly dropped the pod and got into cover.
"Ratchet to the right!" Fluff said urgently. Ratchet responded and hit the Locust in it's arm. The Locust doubled over in pain, allowing Ratchet to finish him with a bullet through the chest.
"Aura! Flank left! Fluff, Ratchet cover him!" Mew said, taking out another with a couple of rounds in the abdomen. Fluff and Ratchet did as they were told and fired at the Locust's cover position.
The Locust kept down, not willing to get their heads blown off, allowing Aura to get around and finish the two off with a montage of bullets piercing through their greyish skin. "Good work guys! All Locust neutralised!"
"Mew!" A muffled sound called. "Is that you?"
"Guys! Get this pod open now!" Mew shouted. Fluff fired up her lancer and started to saw through the lock.
After a few minutes the lock broke open and Moltres got up and stretched her wings. "Ahh! It feels good to stretch."
"Dude! The flames could attract attention!" Ratchet scolded. Mew shook his head.
"If there were any other enemies nearby. Then the gun fire would have tipped them off of our presence." Mew then turned to Moltres. "Moltres. You remember the Tree of Beginning right?" Moltres nodded. "Good. I want you to get there as fast as you can. You'll be safe there my friends will take care of ya'."
"Right. Thank you guys so much. I owe you."
"Well you could repay our favours now." Aura interrupted. "Do you remember where they took you and the other Legendaries." Moltres nodded and pointed right behind them.
"They took me right up this way without turning for three hours. I'm sure you'll see the prison encampment with them if you continue that way." Mew nodded.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. They'll say the challenge tooth. You have to respond pick to get in." Moltres nodded.
"Thank you. I'll see you later." She hugged Mew really hard before flying off.
"Alright guys let's move. Double time. We don't know what they were going to do to Moltres." They all got back into the vehicle and drove forward.
2 Hours later. In the prison camp
"What do you think they're doing with them?" Jirachi asked. During this time Arceus, Giritina, Palkia, Dialga, Kyogre and Groudon had been taken.
"I don't know. And I don't want to know." Darkrai answered. He had hope that Mew would find them. But that hope is looking a little bleak right now.
RAAM then entered again with blood on his hands and a dead pokemon...
...Latios.
"LATIOS!" Latias screamed, trying to get to her brother through the cage. The others looked on in astonishment.
"This shows where defiance gets you. Now tell me where the Resistance are NOW!"
"We don't know anything about any Resistance!" Celebi shouted at him. He turned to her in amusement.
"Bring her down here now corporal." RAAM said calmly, taking out a pistol. Celebi's blood started to run cold as the jailer grabbed her and pulled her before him.
"So you show defiance, even after we showed you what will happen. Maybe we need to give them a first hand look then." He pointed the weapon at her head.
"CELEBI!" They all called in distress, closing their eyes, before...
...a scream of pain was heard.
They all opened their eyes expecting to see a dead Celebi. But they saw RAAM being beaten away from her by a pink kitten.
"RATCHET! AURA! FLUFF! SECURE THE LEGENDARIES AND HIT THEM HARD!" He shouted as he blocked the machete that RAAM was wielding with his Lancer.
The jailers tried to fight back. But it was futile as they weren't very well equipped.
Suddenly a flying, ugly squid-like creature came crashing through the roof and hissed, slapping Mew into the bars of Mewtwo's cage.
RAAM then got on top of the creature and he flew off. "Dam that bastard! I almost had him!" Mew cussed as he got up and walked towards Celebi.
"Are you okay Celebi? He almost shot you." Celebi nodded.
"I'm fine. No damage." Mew nodded, did a once over anyway and turned around.
"FOX TROT ONE ON ME!" He shouted as Ratchet, Aura and Fluff walked up to him. "Looks like we were too late. Some of the packages are missing and one is KIA. We need to evacuate these guys out of here before we can go on a search and rescue. Get them out of their cages while I contact Flying Arbok six-four. Go!"
They saluted before firering up their Lancers and taking out the locks. These locks were a lot weaker than those on Moltres's pod so they broke open easy.
"Affirmative we need a pick up at co-ordinates Mankey five-two. Okay see you soon. Fox trot one out." He said. Celebi couldn't really understand what he said. But didn't question him.
After about ten minutes they were all out. "Okay let's get out of this shit hole Fox trot! I don't want to stay here a minute longer." With that he lead the large group of pokemon out of the prison camp.
"I didn't really understand before, Mew, but why didn't you just teleport us to the prison camp rather than go on foot?" Fluff asked. Mew looked at her like she was an idiot.
"The same reason why these guys didn't just teleport out of here. We're too far beneath the surface. They wouldn't be able to get their bearings straight and gravity would be too strong, which is why we're all walking on foot, it would be far too risky."
"So why are you leading these guys anyway Mew?" Mespirit asked, posing the question all of the Legendaries were dying to know he answer to. Mew sighed.
"After we were starting to get abducted, I wondered what the cause was. So I visited this old lab the humans used and found a whole load of documents about these creatures, the Locust. That's when they attacked and tried to take me. Was I lucky I found an old shotgun. Anyway. I fought through them and ran out as fast as I could and I saw him."
"Who's him?" Uxie asked.
"RAAM..." The legendaries gasped. He had met RAAM before this.
"Why are you wearing the hood?" Celebi asked. Fox trot just looked bad for him and ran on ahead to check the surroundings.
"Well I faced RAAM and I was about to kill him with my Lancer until it chose that time to break..." He shuddered. "...I only just managed to escape but..." He pulled his hood down and the other legendaries gasped.
They saw that the eye that was concealed by the hood, the right one, had a huge vertical scar that ran from the top of his head right down to the tip of the right side of his mouth.
"...He left one hell of a beauty mark. I wear the hood because it reminds me that I failed in killing that son of a bitch. And now I failed again. But I'm not giving up."
"I researched the documents and found that the Locust attack by digging. They dig through our soil and attack us by surprise. I also found out that the Tree of Beginning's soil is too thick to dig through. So I set up a force to give those monsters hell when possible."
"We are the Resistance!"
"Wait! That's what RAAM wanted to know about." Latias pointed out sadly. Mew looked at her.
"WAIT! How in Arceus's name did he know about us? This was the only time we attacked!"
"Sir!" Aura said. "We could have a rat!"
