Episode Four: Cipher Zombie Plan P1

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, and Ashley.

Sunday had arrived. Hotaru was awake with her parents in the living room watching the news footage of what had happened Saturday night. Although the news crews weren't around to see the heroine there were lots of interviews with witnesses that saw it. Now even though Ardos had witnessed the event he wasn't interviewed, most likely like Ashley, Darnel, and Hotaru had done he didn't want to be interviewed and left at least that's what Hotaru concluded. Hotaru watches one boy from the opposing team speak "Things just happened out of the blue you know. One moment we were going into half time then the next an armed army shows up most likely with intent on killing someone, then a Monster appeared."

"That must've been scary" the reporter told him.

"Oh it was! You could clearly see this army had terroristic thoughts in mind and didn't care whom they were going to kill. Luckily there was that beautiful white, pink, cute blue eyed cat like monster girl whom came to the rescue. Taking out that army without a sweat and battling that other monster which clearly had intentions of killing her if it could."

"Amazing!" the reporter said "Where did she go afterwards."

The boy blushes clearly one that got a good look of Hotaru's breasts after she lost some of the fur from the Sacred Sword attack that she took "Who knows. But one other thing I'll say was underneath that fur she had a good body."

Hotaru blushes bright red which was luckily missed by her parents as she thought That guy is a pervert! He saw right through my fur somehow! Maybe it was during that Sacred Sword attack that I was struck by that removed a bit of it, didn't think it was that much though but clearly he saw my breasts! She glanced down at her small but slowly reaching to average size breasts which were still in a bit of development mode and they aren't actually fully developed yet!

Hotaru's mother looked at her father "Our daughter went there but didn't say anything about this."

"She must've been scared dear" her father said "Or she somehow escaped before the action took place. Still something inside me tells me this isn't going to be the first time we hear about this army. The police have a major uphill battle to climb for answers."

"Shouldn't NCIS be involved in this?"

"We aren't monitoring this army as this is the first I've heard of it. I will insure you my dear that we will look into this at least the Director and Special Agent Gibbs, but until this army makes a move against an army or navel personal directly like murdering them or kidnapping their children, we can't do much against them. Rest assured that if or when they do, NCIS will be their greatest enemy working to tear that organization down."

Hotaru thought to herself If only he knew Cipher was targeting me, things would go down smoother...But then again I'd get grounded for sure so I will not tell them that.

The doorbell rang and Hotaru excused herself "I'll get it!"

Hotaru's parents let their daughter go to the door and asks "Who is it?"

"It's Ashley, Hotaru" came the voice.

Hotaru unlock the door and opens it "Oh, good morning Ashley."

"Good morning! Did you hear the news?"

Hotaru nodded "Yes, and please don't mention anything about my breasts."

Ashley sighed "Wasn't going to...But I didn't like that part of the news ether...Hey could you come with me to my house."

"Sure" Hotaru said "Hold on second."

Ashley watches as Hotaru walked to the living room "Mom, dad, I'm going to Ashley's house."

"Okay sweetie!" Hotaru's mother told her.

"Be back by nightfall" Hotaru's father added on.

"Sure thing!"

Hotaru leaves them and took keys to her house before locking the door to walk outside with Ashley. The two headed to Ashley's house.

"Is Darnel coming?" Hotaru asked.

"I've called him up when I was heading to your house Hotaru" Ashley answered "He's going to meet us at my house."

"Okay then!"

Little did the girls know that trouble was brewing and that Cipher Pions were already capturing people for their latest scheme for Miror B and Loverina were supervising the latest effort outside Cipher's base of operations. Inside Erdos was already hatching his third scheme looking at the shadow of the Shadow Pokemon he'd be using thinking Let's hope this plays off.

*Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Back to show

Loveria and Miror B were hard at work supervising Cipher's efforts in Erdos's latest plan. The two had arrived late Saturday after the failed attempt to finish Hotaru using Shadow Terrakion. Loveria turned to Miror B whom was watching on his end. She sighed "So why are we doing this?"
Miror B answered "Erdos's orders that's what! Remember he's going to use the captured hostages and turn them into what one will call a zombie state."

"Really using that Shadow Pokemon?"

"Positive! Now we just have to play by what Erdos wants."

"So what if this Hotaru girl spots us?"

"Then we'll have to hold her off till the last person is captured."

"Alright then" Loveria sighed.

Inside the base Erdos was watching the attempt. His plan had failed to defeat Hotaru at her own school yard. He was right at work running some test on her latest transformation of Slyveon. So far his research gave him very little information about the latest information but what he did find shocked him. Somehow Slyveon was immune to Dragon Types, the most feared type of all Pokemon. This shocked him to the core that Hotaru's new form had that type of power, not only was it immune to Dragon Types but it was also Super-Effective on them. He also figured out Slyveon resisted fighting type moves as well as Dark Types beating those types with Super-Effective moves as well. Now his research hadn't immediately picked up on Slyveon's weaknesses.

"What is that form's weakness?" Erdos growls out annoyed a bit at the results "Until we figure that out...We are at a loss to figure out a way to defeat her in that form."

Ardos was watching his brother in secret "Keep trying to figure that out. Sooner or later we'll figure things out, I'm certain she's going to use that form repeatedly against us as she fought so well with that form almost as if she was one of them all along."

"That's what I'm aiming for" Erdos sighed "But for now… It's time to continue on with my latest plan."

"Careful what you do Erdos, our target is smart enough to figure out a way out of tough jam."

"I know that, but honestly brother, how can she expect to fight the very people she fights to protect when they are mindless zombies?"

"She'll have to think on her toes for sure otherwise she just may become a zombie herself if bitten once" Ardos told him.

Ardos calmly leaves to watch Hotaru in secret from the shadows. Now that she was a target to Cipher, it was best to have a spy watching her and giving intel to her enemies which was them.

Ashley and Hotaru made it to Ashley's house. Hotaru had been expecting to meet Ashley's parents but they weren't home. True to her word Darnel had met the two girls at Ashley's house. Ashley opens her house's door and the three enter with Ashley locking her door. The blond turned to her friends "Please follow me you three...Down in the basement."

By the tone of her voice, both Darnel and Hotaru had a feeling what this meant, something was bothering the blond haired girl. They followed Ashley to her basement and once down Ashley took them to a mini-crime scene that she had made immediately after she had gotten home last night.

"What's all this about?" Darnel asked her.

Ashley answered "When I was little, my parents were murdered."

Hotaru gasped realizing that Ashley was an orphan "BY WHOM?!"

"AND WHY?" Darnel asked shocked as well.

"Not sure whom did it and for what motive" Ashley answered them tears in her eyes "My memory of that event is a blur...But I do recall them being murdered" She sits on her floor crossing her legs and cried "I have NIGHTMARES about it every week!"

"Have you went to the police?" Hotaru asked.

"The police were called" Ashley answered "But not even they could find any clues as the culprit whom done this didn't use a weapon on them like any person on Earth would. Some of their evidence say that it's a possible poisoning that did it but no test on the poisons had came back positive."

Hotaru was silent "So would you like us to help solve this case?"

Ashley nodded "Yes...The police are no help as they couldn't solve the case and it remains an unsolved case. Plus again it happened when I was very young two or three years old so my memory of that event isn't the best but I know they were ganged up upon and murdered..."

"Why bring this up now?" Darnel asked.

Ashley answered "Because, those white soldiers that were Cipher jogged something in my memory. I recall the culprits wearing white, so I'm guessing Cipher was the ones that murdered my parents for some reason."

"If that's true" Hotaru spoke forming a fist "That's two that I owe Cipher for. First they try to take over Earth using their Shadow Pokemon and now they by Ashley's tone maybe the suspects of her parent's murder making my friend an orphan!"

Ashley looked at Darnel and Hotaru "So...Will you help me try to solve this case?"

"You bet!" Hotaru said holding Ashley's right hand "You and Darnel are helping me stop Cipher, and my father is an NCIS agent so...Perhaps I got some of his crime solving D.N.A inside me."

"I'm in too" Darnel said "We'll figure this out together! So, Ashley, what do we have for any sort of clues."

Ashley was about to answer when they heard terrified screams outside. Hotaru was puzzled as the Rototrix wasn't detecting any Shadow Pokemon, so something else was causing the chaos.

"Hold that thought Ashley" Darnel said "That sounds like something important."

Hotaru rushes upstairs first hand on her Rototrix ready to spring at any time. Ashley and Darnel came up shortly after her. Hotaru peeked out of the window of Ashley's door and gasped.

"What it it Hotaru?" Darnel asked.

"Cipher" Hotaru said spotting Cipher Pions armed with the same weapons last night "And they are rounding up people, but who is that pink haired girl that's with the soldiers acting as if she's a commander?"

"Does she see my house?" Ashley inquired nervously.

Upon hearing this Hotaru caught sight of the pink haired girl shifting her attention to Ashley's house. Hotaru accidentally made eye-contact with the girl whom smirked wagging her finger to some of the soldiers. Hotaru quickly takes herself away from the window but spoke in a warning tone "She didn't at first but now she does!"

"Did she see you?" Darnel asked.

Hotaru was about to answer when they heard the girl shout to her soldiers "That house is occupied! Capture them!"

"Does that answer your question?" Hotaru asked.

"Yes" Darnel muttered.

"Oh!" Ashley muttered "If they come here and see my mini-crime lab, and if they were the ones that murdered my parents...This is bad!"

Hotaru had to make a stand "Ashley, take Darnel with you and hide yourselves in whatever you can, including cupboards and don't make a sound!"

"What about you?!" Ashley asked.

Darnel knew as he grabbed Ashley's hand "Come on Ashley, Hotaru's going to fight them off!"

"One against one hundred?!"

"I don't like the odds myself" Hotaru admitted "But I have to, I can't let them get you two! I won't let them. Now get into hiding you two, don't make a sound, until you hear the sound of my voice...If I'm still alive."

Ashley got it "Okay then."

She and Darnel ran to hide themselves with Hotaru holding her Rototrix, she watches her friends run to hide activating her Rototrix and planned it perfectly thinking Give me something that can take damage and fight!

She heard the Cipher Pions ramming the door down and reaches for a transformation thinking I can't use Slyveon, too many numbers, sure I fight well with her but I need to fight back as well as being able to see how many of them and how to fight back, in other words I need not only offense but thicker defense. She saw a selection and goes for it just as the door was busted off it's hinges. White light filtered around Hotaru as she lost her hair, and clothes, Her head turns blue and black, gains red eyes, blue dog like ears, her torso becomes cream colored fur, blue fur on her legs with a bit of black in between the torso and legs, her arms also come blue but her hands become black as well as her feet, then lastly gains three spikes, one on her chest, and one each on each of her upper hands. When the transformation was complete, Hotaru was "Lucario!"

The three Cipher Pions stopped at coming in further seeing Hotaru as a Lucario girl. Hotaru looked at herself building up some substance which the Rototrix told her was Aura, and it was with this she was able to see how many opponents she was up against, whom she had to try to rescue and whom she'd needed to figure out where they were being taken. In the meantime Hotaru kept her gaze on the three Cipher Pions "Breaking and entering to someone's house is illegal you know that?"

The Cipher Pions weren't equipped to deal with Lucario, sure they had guns but they doubted regular guns could bring down Lucario whom might've been a Fighting type but they were also Steel Type. Before the Cipher Pions could call for help, Hotaru brought out a bone staff and giggled joyfully at this speaking to the Cipher Pions "Time to go Rafiki on you."

Before the three could react, Hotaru came at them whirling her bone staff using a Lucario's Bone Rush attack. THWACK, THWACK THWACK the sound of Hotaru's bone staff hitting against the Cipher Pion's heads echoed knocking the three out. Hotaru grabbed the unconsious Cipher Pions and threw them at three advancing more. The three soldiers were taken down. Hotaru gathers her aura into the palm of her hands thinking Time to go, Son Goku

She focused her aura forming a sphere in it and she unleashes her Aura Sphere but instead of it being like a sphere as Aura Sphere would be she managed to acutally mirror it to be exactly like Goku's Kamehame wave. This sent more than just the six soldiers backwards towards Loveria but an entire squad of them.

"What gives?!" Loveria asked.

Hotaru managed to somehow repair the broken door and step outside of the lawn. Loveria looks at her "So...You're this Hotaru chick that has gotten into Master Greevil's nerves."

"That's right..." Hotaru said.

Loveria raised her hand grabbing a Pokeball "I so, shouldn't be battling you and losing troops, but I will have to."

"You'll try pinky!" Hotaru said.

"Just to let you know I'm Loveria! An Admin of Cipher!"

"I already figured that last part out lady so now it's time for action!"

Loveria tossed out the ball "Then let's see how well you do against this!"

Out of the Pokeball came out a pink blob Pokemon.

"What is this?!" Hotaru asked.

The Rototrix answered "It's a Ditto! Quick change to something else!"

"Why?" Hotaru asked "It's just a pink-"

Before she could complete her sentence the pink blob turned into Hotaru herself with the same features causing Hotaru to sweat drop muttering "Oh! It can do that?!"

Loveria smirked "It may not be a Shadow Pokemon. But it is my Pokemon still, so you can't purify it. My Ditto has the Impostor ability allowing it to immediately take the shape of whatever Pokemon you choose. Go my Ditto, now that you took her form as a Lucario girl, battle her while I complete my master's mission."

Some Cipher Pions that were at the opposite side of where the beginning engagement was now arrived with flamethrowers and somehow Hotaru knew as Lucario, these would hurt. She turned to engage them first but sees their confusion when they saw two Hotaru.

"Don't bother fighting her!" Loveria snapped "Leave these two to fight, and continue the routing mission! We don't have much time before the city sends it's own soldiers and police."

"Yes ma'am" the Cipher solider said.

"Go into that house over there behind the Lucario Girl on the left"

"Yes ma'am!" the soldiers go towards Ashley's house when Hotaru makes a move to stop them but Loveria's Ditto managed to catch her off guard with a Bullet Punch to the back. Now this didn't do much damage to Hotaru but she turned towards it "Looks like I gotta beat this thing down!"

Loveria smirked "Yes, you do!"

Hotaru gets into position "Then I'll have to do this quickly!"

Loveria smirked "So you have Bone Rush hugh? Very well, Ditto use Bone Rush as well!"

The Ditto brought out it's staff preparing to fight Hotaru, and Hotaru knew right then she had a slight advantage over it, she didn't have to issue out a command, Loveria did. Hotaru watches as the Ditto comes at her swinging it's Bone Staff. She countered the swing with her own Bone Rush. CLASH the two staffs clanged together, once, twice, three times. Hotaru found it odd that the Ditto not only copied her current form but had the same current exact strength, defenses, and speed as she did. However it didn't have her brain she'd have to fight it using her brains. The four clash their bone staffs a fourth time, then a fifth but on the sixth time which was a crossing path they both made contact against each other finding each other in the head. Being a ground type move this was super-effective on both fighters and both felt their heads as it felt like they had broken each other's skulls.

"Okay" Hotaru breathed out still feeling her head "That hurt!"

"Now's your chance to finish her off Ditto!" Loveria shouted "Aura Sphere!"

Hotaru saw her chance then smirked "You'll be finishing yourself off lady!"

Hotaru watches the Ditto gather in it's own aura into a sphere then it flung it at Hotaru. Hotaru brought out her staff "Batter up!"

She waits till the sphere closes in on her then just as if she were playing softball or baseball she swung her Staff as it were a baseball bat. Despite the staff being broken upon impact the move worked like a charm batting the sphere right back into the Ditto stunning it

"No way!" Loveria shouted seeing this "It can't be!"

"Oh it can be!" Hotaru told her then before her opponent's Ditto could do anything she comes at swinging her fist using Force Palm on it. This sent the Ditto onto Loveria sending them flying onto Miror B with Loveria's Ditto fainting.

"What gives?!" Miror B demanded to Loveria.

Loveria growls watching as Hotaru turned her back to go inside Ashley's house to save her friends "Oh a house we sighted had our target in it and now she's going after ten soldiers that have flamethrowers."

"Great...But we're good now...Get your Pokemon back into it's Pokeball and we'll report to Erdos with our capture of nearly everyone in this city."

"But what about those other ten?"

"Leave them to get arrested for their crimes if we are here when the police come then we're finished!"

"Right!"

The two leave with the rest of Cipher coming with them.

At Ashley's house three soldiers were standing guard outside it seeing Hotaru advance. They raised their weapons and pulled the trigger. Steady streams of fire came at her but Hotaru managed to use her gymnastic skills to avoid them using her hand springs and flips. Once she got close she unleashes her fists knocking them out. Then she continued down to the house. Luckily for Hotaru, Ashley and Darnel were hiding good which allowed Hotaru to come back from behind the rest of the soldiers and knock them out with ether a newly made bone staff or using Close Combat on them or so she thought, she had missed one that went deep inside the building. Hotaru entered Ashley's house completely oblivious to the one Cipher Pion soldier that was still inside it searching for the inhabitants of the house. Hotaru walked into the house and saw where her friends were hiding inside the kitchen's cupboards. She walks in "All clear guys!"

Ashley and Darnel come out of hiding.

"You survived?" Darnel asked.

"They weren't nothing too much" Hotaru said rubbing her head "Although that woman's Ditto got me good in the head."

The Cipher Pion heard the sound and came down stairs seeing Hotaru's back. Ashley and Darnel turned "Hotaru, look out behind you."

Hotaru now saw her mistake as her aura now saw him "Oh crap!"

Before she could do anything, she saw him pull the trigger of his flamethrower and the weapon fired mostly at her. Hotaru screams in pain as the soldier kept burning her alive as she falls to the ground burning. Ashley watches this "Hang in their Hotaru!"

Darnel had an idea grabbing a fire extinguisher. He aimed it at the flamethrower and activates it. The soldier now notices them "You two will be coming with me once I've eliminated your friend."

He tries to use his weapon but the fire extinguisher did it's job "What the?"

Hotaru's Lucario form survived the contact barrage of fire but was very weak now. She managed to get onto all fours then managed to raise her fist and punch at the man's penis. The man's eyes widened in pain as he felt more than just the fist, but the spike too. He kneels in pain but not before Ashley took out her can of pepper spray and sprayed the man in the face with it causing him to scream "AH!"

Darnel then used the Fire Extinguisher as a blunt weapon bashing the man in the head to earn knock out. Once this was done Ashley and Darnel check on Hotaru.

"Hotaru..." Darnel said "Are you okay?"

"I'm still alive if that's what okay means" Hotaru muttered "But this form is weak...I gotta get out of it."

"Do so" Ashley said.

Hotaru managed to do so then immediately felt a lot better than before. She wasn't burning hot nor did she feel her head injury. It appeared she suffered these injuries if she had been beaten in battle, which she was very close to having that happen to her. She had left her guard down and it nearly cost her life. Ashley, Darnel, and Hotaru dragged the unconscious Cipher Soldier outside and out onto the field with the others Hotaru knocked out earlier. Then they went into Ashley's house, closed the door and locked it. Then resumed in Ashley's basement.

"I wasn't able to rescue a single person in Cipher hands" Hotaru muttered "Because I was worried for you two when those ten were ordered to go into this house.

"No worries" Darnel told her "You did what you could."

"At least you were able to have some people get away" Ashley said.

"That I have been able to do" Hotaru said recalling some of the people Cipher caught ran for it in the fight that was going on but not all of them could as they were ether in chains or being transferred to Miror B's control.

"But more importantly" Darnel said to Hotaru "We must go onto a rescue mission to save those people...What could Cipher be up to?"

Both Ashley and Hotaru sighed "Nothing good."

Darnel heard the two girl's answer then sighed himself. The two were right, as long as a reasonable population was in Cipher's hands the reason wasn't good. There were two things going through the teenager's minds one was they had to get to the bottom of whom murdered Ashley's parents to give Ashley some closure to it and the other, was they had to go on a rescue mission. The police weren't going to be able to track Cipher down and even if they were, they would want to call in the SWAT team.

Hotaru looked at her friends finally "Thanks for the save back there by the way."

"You're welcome" Ashley said.

Darnel agreed "Indeed."

"How could've I left my guard down like that? That form was good in seeing where everyone was so how could I have left my guard down like that?!" Hotaru asked "That shouldn't have happened."

"You can't blame yourself for that too much" Ashley told her "You were worried about me and Darnel, when one worries things like getting careless can happen."

Hotaru smiled at her friend faintly sure she managed to let some people get away but she had failed to rescue any of them in serious Cipher trouble. Plus to make things worse her Lucario form was indeed badly hurt because of her mistake. Now it wasn't fainted but it would take some time for it to recover a bit so she would have to avoid going into Lucario form for a while. Hotaru had to take action now "We have to figure out where Cipher has taken them,"

"And how much they've took too" Darnel admitted.

Their was a knock on the door "It's the police, anyone home?!"

Ashley, Darnel, and Hotaru went back upstairs and walked to Ashley's door. They opened the door to see ten police officers.

"Thank goodness you three are okay" an officer said.

"Did anyone of you notice anything?" a second officer asked.

"We heard screaming and hid in the cupboards" Ashley informed them.

"Good thing you did, it seemed to have saved you" the first officer said.

"This is the second time this military force did something" The second officer said "And this time they overdone it."

Hotaru asked in an innocent tone "So what happened officers?"

"That military organization that attacked a school during a football game struck again" The first officer replied "They were out routing people."

"Some escaped after a heroine emerged to fight them off but not all were able to escape." The second officer said.

The first officer looked at Hotaru "You must be Hotaru Hatsumi right?"

"That's right officer."

"Thank God that you were with your friends."

"Why?" Hotaru asked "What happened?"

"Your parents have been one of those captured by these soldiers."

Hotaru gasped with surprise. She had only left an hour ago, get into a fight with Cipher, nearly getting killed by a lone Cipher soldier by a sheer mistake on her part, only to find out her own parents were captured by her enemy "How many did they take?"

"Almost the entire city of Manassas, including all of it's counties except for police and some military families" the officer replied "only about five percent managed to get away."

Anger was brewing inside Hotaru's mind. She was okay when enemies tried to kill her, but if you went after her friends, or in this case her family, that crossed the line. She growls angrily "How dare they capture my parents..."

"We're collecting clues onto where the enemy had went-" the first officer said.

"Or what they want with the hostages" the second officer said "Just be careful if you head downtown, they might strike again."

The three watch the officers leave with Hotaru turning to Darnel and Ashley whom had closed the door. The two look at Hotaru's quivering body "They messed with the wrong girl's family. And for that Cipher is going to pay."

Ashley nodded agreeing with Hotaru she didn't want Hotaru to be an orphan ether "Indeed they had done so, Darnel and I will help but the police are right, we don't know where Cipher is hiding or has taken them."

"Even if we did figure that out, it might not be necessarily their true base of operations" Darnel added on.

"Don't care about that" Hotaru told him "All I care about is locating where they have been taken, then we'll launch a rescue mission."

Ashley focuses in some powers in her hand and magic starts to flow from it.

"Is that real magic?" Darnel asked her.

"Yes" Ashley said "I've begun practicing it since we figured out Hotaru was to stop Cipher. Seems to be that somewhere down my family line that we were mages."

Hotaru turned secretly watching the police from the basement windows which were smaller. She had every intention to save everyone that Cipher caught. They had to figure out where that was.

While this was going on Erdos watches as Loveria and Miror B arrive with their success. In a way this was a big victory for Cipher, nearly capturing the entire town. After all they have done this before with Snattle going to overtake a town where they were from, but likewise that had somehow fell apart. This time his plans were much more sinister. He turned to Loveria and Miror B "Good work!"

"This Hotaru girl is good that's no joke" Loveria told Erdos "She flattened my Ditto!"

"She used her brains in that battle against it" Erdos told her "That's how she beat it." he then thought IN a way it mirrored the same way we lost Shadow Gengar to it.

Erdos turned to the captured individuals "Time to get to work."

He turned to the Shadow Pokemon he had with them "It is time...Use Hypnosis on the crowd...And make them appear as zombies."

The Shadow Pokemon nodded and clearly featured a yellow Psychic Pokemon holding a hypnotizing watch and the Pokemon replied it's name "Hypno!"

It began waving it's entire watch around and the screen forces the captured individuals to look at it falling under it's spell.

"Now" Erdos said watching the results "Let's see how Hotaru likes taking her own people on."

Thus Cipher's latest plan began to come into action. Too be continued.

Yes, this episode has come to a close, it was supposed to be Plants vs. Zombies but I've changed it to Cipher's Zombie Plan because of how I've written this episode. Can Hotaru with her friends rescue everyone caught? Find out in the next episode. Episode 5, Cipher's Zombie Plan P2: When Hotaru and her friends finally figure out where Cipher has taken them, Hotaru has her hands full when having to battle through the captives whom had been turned into a Zombie like state. Can Hotaru defeat the Shadow Hypno that has hypnotized the entire town while battling through the huge Zombie Horde?
