Roscoso's Treasure Planet
Metaknight's warning
As nighttime approached, Alyssa spent it on the inn's roof, throwing rocks into the gutter. When she was out of rocks, she decided to listen to Tails and Shenzi.
"I really don't get how you can do it Shenzi. Trying to run an inn while raising a felon like-- felon...fellow... fellow like Alyssa." Tails said, trying to find the right word for Alyssa.
"Running it? I'm at the end of my rope! Ever since her father left, well, Alys's just never recovered. And you know how smart she is. She built her first solar surfer when she was eight!" Alyssa smiled at the memory. "And yet, she's failing at school, she is constantly in trouble, and when talk to her, she's like a stranger to me. I don't know, Tails. I've tried everything--" Alyssa watched and was distracted by a ship in the shape of a gold star that was falling down from the sky. It crashed on the dock and a small fire began. Alyssa slid off of the roof and rushed to the ship.
"Hey, Mister?" Alyssa said yelling at the ship. "Mister, you're OK in there, right?" Alyssa banged on the window. A strange creature wearing a knight's mask pressed his face against the window.
"Aaah!" Alyssa yelped, jumping back. The window opened and the man fell out. He had a Blue cape and Blue shoes, and was carrying a small chest.
"He's after me." He said, grabbing Alyssa's jacket. "Can you see him? Those eyes like slits, and hair as black as the smoke of the Giratina!"
"Uh, hit your head pretty hard, there. Didn't you sir?" Alyssa asked
"He's after me chest. That horrible Pokemorph and his band of cutthroats." He lifted the chest up on his hunched back, "But they'll have to pry it from Metaknight cold, dead, fingers afore l--argh!" Metaknight dropped the chest and began coughing.
"Aw man," Alyssa said, "Uh, come on, give me your arm." Alyssa took Metaknight's arm, chest stuck in his fist, and lifted him up. "That's it."
"Ohh." Metaknight said in a soft moaning voice as he was carried up to the inn.
"Mom's gonna love this." Alyssa said. Then, the rain began to fall. Back in the inn, Shenzi flipped a switch on the window to change the blinds. It went from the outside rainfall to Amity Park, then the desert of Agrabah, and finally, she stopped it on Radiant Garden marketplace in the afternoon.
"Thanks for listening, Tails." Shenzi sighed, "It helps." she sat down. Sunny packed up his things and was ready to leave. Then he turned and laid a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"It's all gonna be okay." he said. "You'll see."
"I keep dreaming one day," Shenzi opened her holographic locket that showed images of Alyssa playing as a toddler. "I'll open that door... and there she'll be just the way she was." It switched to when she were five year olds playing with a little top, "A smiling, happy girl, holding a new pet..." It switched to show them both holding onto a really big ogre, "and begging me to let them keep it." Tails opened the front door to reveal Alyssa holding up Metaknight.
"Alyssa Nicole Kyle!!" Shenzi gasped
"Mom, he's hurt! Bad." Alyssa said as she set Metaknight on the ground, his chest not too far away.
"My chest, girl." Metaknight said reaching for it, "He'll be comin' soon." he began pressing the dials on it. When it opened, he pulled out a round thing wrapped in cloth.
"Can't let them find this." he said
"Who's coming?" Alyssa asked. Metaknight grabbed Alyssa and pulls her down.
"The Pokemorph." he whispered into Alyssa's ear. "Beware the Pokemorph." As Metaknight slowly slid down to the floor, Alyssa was able to grab the ball. Then as he lay with his eyes closed on the ground, unmoving.
Lights came through the window from outside. Outside, a ship was floating down in front of the inn. Alyssa edged over to the window to peek through the screen. He was able to see through the darkness many figures, but the one in the middle looked as though he was holding a beam of energy.
"Quick we gotta go!" Alyssa said. She grabbed her mom and began rushing up the stairs. Tails looked at the door, but quickly follows them after a Blast of energy broke the lock.
"I'm goin' with Alyssa on this one Shenzi!" Tails said following the two. Other blasts of different kinds crashed through the window and sparked a small fire in the kitchen. Tails reached a window and pushed it open. He looked down to see a Tauros waiting.
"Yo Tauros!" he said. It looked up at him and groaned.
"Stay! Don't move." Tails said
"I don't think he's going anywhere Tails." Shenzi said. Down stairs, the group was looking throughout the whole inn. "Where is it?" one asked
"It's got to be here somewhere!" Another yelled. Alyssa was able to see the shadow of a person pointing at the stairs.
"Don't worry Shenzi. Like you said, Tauros not gonna move. Now, we jump on the count of three. One..." Tails said
"Three!" Alyssa said pushing the two out and jumping after them. When they landed on Tauros, Tails grabbed the reigns.
"Yah yah!" he said. Tauros then took off. Shenzi looked back at the inn to see it all on fire. She sighed and held up her head. Alyssa watched this, but then turned her attention back to the ball. She unwound the string and brushed the cloth off of it. In her hands was revealed a shinning metal orb with buttons and lines all across it.
