"Hide quick!" Ania ordered as we rushed into a room near us. We doubled over, gasping for breath, we should have called in back up, this team is seriously messed up.
I put my hand on my stomach feeling the blood drip from it. Ania wiped her head, having been punched, causing a gash to appear on her head, Keith wiped his bust lip, while Kate tore her shirt and wrapped up her sliced wrist.
"We need to do something and quick," Keith gasped.
"We need to get out of here," Kate added as she finished bandaging her hand.
"Ah, young Ranger, how foolish can you be, there is no way out," an all too familiar voice rang throughout the air. We all looked up and gasped at the sight of Jayden.
"Now, I suppose you've realised by now that you've made a grave mistake," he snickered as he walked over to us. We held our hands up ready to fight but he only put his hands up.
"Now, now, I have no intention of hurting any of you. Not yet anyway, you are all pawns in this game and quite frankly your part is only just beginning. However, the person you are looking for, her part is now ending," we all glared at Jayden as his team got ready to fight us, they drew knives and guns as well as angered pokemon to take us on.
"Hold on," he spoke up. "I'm going to give the little children a chance to find the only way out of here. If they succeed, then they will be very useful to my plan, however, if they fail, then they will end up dead along with anyone else living in this base," it was obvious Jaden had already ordered anyone in the base to evacuate, but what was he trying to pull?
"You have five minute before this base blows to nothing but rubble, good look," Ania lost it and launched at Jayden, but went through him.
"Bastard," she hissed. "It's a hologram," she stated.
Kate rushed to the computers behind Ania, while I helped her up.
"He wasn't joking, this place has a bomb inside the basement, it'll blow anytime soon," she stated.
"Well, let's leave!" Keith almost yelled. Ania suddenly pushed Kate out of the way and took over the controls.
"Get out while there's still a chance, once you find the exit tell me over the styler, but hurry and get out," she ordered.
"What are you doing?" Kate asked.
"They're not very smart, if anything they'll have left some stuff on the computers that can help us figure out what they're planning. Listen to me and go now!" Ania ordered.
"Not without you," I replied, Ania turned around.
"Listen to me, Ben. This team have just run off, they will still have Winter with them, now if I can find anything that will help with our investigation then I'm going to get it and send it to Ryth. You and the others need to get out, we'll be no good dead, no go!" she ordered as she pushed me towards the door.
"Ben, Ania knows what she's doing, come on," Keith ordered as we began running through the halls.
"The floor plan shows an exit of three ways, but it'll take about three minute running to get to each one," Kate stated as we began running down the hall.
"So it's a one in three chance of us getting out?" Keith asked, Kate nodded her head.
"Which one we going for?" I asked.
"The closest one, it has a window next to it so if that fails we can get out from that, let's just hope Ania finishes soon or we'll lose her," Kate answered. Keith styler suddenly rang out, he quickly pushed accept.
"I've managed to gain a couple extra minutes on the bomb, it's not much and I'm not sure if it'll have worked properly, but it's better than nothing," Ania's voice came. Keith nodded his head.
"We're heading for the closest exit to the room, there's a window next to it. The door will either be open or the window smashed, so just look and hurry up!" Keith ordered, the styler went dead as Ania left.
"There's the exit!" I called as I pointed to the door, Keith quickly tried to handle, but it was locked.
"We need to smash the window," I stated, Kate began bashing the door, while Keith and I started banging on the window.
"Ben, it's not working, we need to do something!" Kate called as alarms started sounding in the hallway.
INTRUDER! INTRUDER! PREPARE FOR ELIMINATION!
I looked up as some of those automatic guns came out from the ceiling. We quickly dodged them and ducked behind a large plant.
"What do we do?" Keith asked.
"I got an idea, but we might get hurt," Kate answered, we looked at her. "They trace movement, if we can get it to shoot at the door handle I'm sure it'll be enough to knock the lock out of place," she explained.
"And if it isn't?" I asked.
"Then I've had a good run," Kate answered as she ran out into the open, avoiding the fires from the gun.
"Kate!" I yelled, but Keith dragged me back into my place as one of them fired at the plant. We watched as Kate dodged them so easily, it was like watching a gymnast in a competition.
"Kate! We have three minute left!" Keith called; Kate nodded as she went to the door. A laser shot at her, catching her stomach, but she stood strong and made her way over to the door.
She watched the gun as it slowly moved towards her, and in a flash it shot. Kate dived out of the way and the laser hit the door handle, causing the lock to move out of place and the door to swing open.
The gun shot again and this time hit Kate in the chest as she laid on the ground. Keith and I quickly rushed over to her, lifted her up and ran out of the base, ignoring the shots that were aimed at us.
We hurried over to a couple of bushes and hid behind them. Keith took his shirt off and placed it on Kate's bleeding chest, while I used my jacket as a pillow for her.
We all looked at the open door to the base, waiting, praying for Ania to just run through those doors. Keith looked at his watch.
"Five….. Four," he counted.
"Three….. Two," Kate gulped.
"One…" I whispered, a loud explosion came from the base. A yelp was heard as Ania ran out of the base, getting caught up in the explosion, she flew across the clearing.
I stood up in time to catch her, sending us flying back into a tree, I groaned as I hit my head, coughed and brought up blood. Ania groaned as she passed out on the floor of the clearing.
Keith covered Kate with his body, while Misdreavus used a psychic to defend us all. I slid down the tree, my back in pain as I looked at the colourful and familiar fortress.
The explosion subsided as I watched the base turn to rubble.
"What now?" I turned to look at the others, and then my eyes landed on my dear little sister.
"Throw her into the rubble, let her little friends find her," I answered as my team threw Summer into the rubble and we walked away.
"Ben, you ok, man?" Keith asked as he looked up at me. I brought my hand up to my mouth and wiped away the blood.
"I'm fine," I answered as I tried to stand up, my legs shook as I tried my hardest to steady myself. Kate slowly sat up, blood still pooling from her chest, but she and Keith weren't as weak as I was.
Keith pulled Ania up gently before he recoiled slightly.
"Her arm's bust, I can feel it," he stated as he picked her up and sat her against the tree. I walked to the clearing, smoke began to clear and Misdreavus had let her protection down. I held my arm looking around at the rubble.
"Do you think Ania managed to get the information to Ryth in time?" I asked, Keith took Ben's shirt from the ground and made a make-due sling with it for Ania's arm.
Kate leaned against the tree, her blood finally slowing down as she looked over at me. Her pigtails had fallen our and her hair covered her face. I'd never seen her look so pissed off in my life.
"I don't think she'd have run out of that place if she hadn't," she answered.
"Ania's the type of person to sacrifice herself for the greater good," Keith answered, I sighed and nodded my head.
"We should check the rubble for those tortured bodies and-," my styler rang, interrupting Kate. I answered it.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I've got some information through from Ania, it had details on the bomb, I'm sorry I couldn't use the computer to disarm it. Is everyone ok?" Rythmi asked, Isaac, Wendy and Sven stood behind her.
"We shouldn't have gone in, Ryth; it was one of our worst mistakes. Ania passed out with a broken arm, Kate has a gash in her chest, Keith isn't as bad, but I've been stabbed and flung into a tree, but we'll all survive, I hope," I answered as I looked at them.
"We're gonna send Wendy and Sven over to help until you guys get back on your feet, is that ok?" Rythmi asked. I nodded my head.
"Yeah, I think Team Black will have calmed down for now at least, contact Officer Jenny in Fuchsia and tell her to get out here," I ordered, Rythmi nodded her head.
"Ben, before you hand up," Rythmi spoke as I was about to hang up. I looked at the screen. "There's something your should know," she stated as Isaac looked at her, they began mumbling to each other about something.
"Ben, we need to get to the Pokemon Centre, Kate and Ania need sorting out now and you're not so good yourself, I can't carry all three of you," Keith spoke up. I sighed as I began swaying slightly, holding my head with my free hand.
Misdreavus used her psychic on me to keep me up right, but I could feel myself wanting, needing to slip away.
"Rythmi, what is it you need to tell us?" I asked looking at the screen. Sven and Wendy had left, Isaac stood staring at the screen in fascination, and Rythmi's face was more serious that I had ever seen before in my life.
"Summer's styler's been turned back on," I looked at the screen in shock, for a moment time stood still. Keith looked up in shock; Kate stared at me, her bangs covering her right eye.
"What? Where?" I asked.
"The computer says that her styler is behind you," Rythmi answered. I turned around; Misdreavus set me on the ground as I did so. The only thing behind me was the rubble, then….. Was Summer in the base when it exploded?
Impossible, we'd have found her, wouldn't have we? I felt my body serge with what felt like fear and anger. Tears slipped out of my eyes and two words escaped my mouth in a whisper.
"She's alive?"
