"Now here we…"
Siefer held his arm up. His men were ready.
"...Go."
He put on his earphones and began to casually stroll like some average teenager among the crowd. As he looked down his eyes were fixed on the blond lady who was walking among the crowd with a bag at her side. Several of the gale grunts dressed as civilians were scattered among the crowd, but Siefer knew that they acquired the target as well.
Just a little more…-0-
Emily was walking amongst the bustling crowd with her Time flute in tow in her bag. If the legends are true, this will allow me to finally see a Celebi…Jonathan will be proud, when he gets back from his vacation.
She felt a rush when she thought about Jonathan and gained control of herself. Stop getting all jittery like some schoolgirl, it's only professional…
Still there was some part of her inside her that knew she wanted it to be more than professional.
When she was barely starting out at Omega's research and development, she was very new to everything. Though she was the top of her class from Rustboro Tech, she felt amazed and maybe even a little overwhelmed by the tasks omega were trying to accomplish, then he came along. Dr. Jonathan Grant helped her through her dirt days and took her on as a sot of unofficial pupil. Being at omega for awhile and even head of the cloning division, Jonathan was one of the best people to study under for Emily. And when he gets back, I want to show him how far I came along all by myself…and maybe even try to ask him…that one question I've been meaning to ask him for the longest time…
She felt strange. Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
She looked around but saw nothing but the crowds bustling. There was a youth with dark red hair and earphones seeming to mind his own business. Emily looked a little past him and noticed some other people. She looked closely and saw the little emblem on their shoulders. Uniforms?
She saw the same emblem on the youth trailing her.
Huh, curious…Better not let them know I'm on to them…
She sauntered toward the left and went next to a wall and silently slipped outside of the crowd. She looked behind her.
Lost them…I hope. Wonder what they were up to… Emily was trying to remember where she saw that emblem before. It looked like a silver wing going through a dark orb…dark orb…Obsidian. The orb was the logo of Obsidian Corporation, but why was there a silver wing going through it? Must be up to no good. Better get to the next monorail to Omega fast. "Going somewhere, Ms Masterson?" A cool voice said behind her. She turned and saw the dark haired youth smirking at her, a hand in his pocket."I don't know who you're talking about, that's not my na-" Emily began.
"Don't bother lying, we know who you really are." She glared.
"So what's this about, corporate sabotage? Omega secrets?" Or maybe the time flute? She stood her ground. "You're not taking anything away from me, that's for sure."
The boy grinned. "Oh but all we want is just you." He snickered. Emily noticed two more guys appear on the other side of her.
Emily immediately pulled her arm out of her pocket and revealed her hidden hand gun and aimed it at the men approaching her. "Don't take another step."
She suddenly felt a force tug at her gun and a blue light surrounded it. She turned and saw a Kirlia concentrating next to the young man . The gun floated to his hand and he took it.
"Hmm, the other guy tried that too. Guess Omega really is as paranoid as the good doc says." He mused.
Emily gritted her teeth. They captured another of omega's personnel?
One guy grabbed Emily's arm and she grabbed her bag and swung it hard against his head.
"OW!" He grunted and she tossed her bag at the young man and he caught it in surprise and she rammed him to the ground.She took her gun back and clicked the safety off.
A ray of rainbow colors stuck her hand and she let go of the gun. It was falling to the ground but it stopped in mid air. The boy had an angry look on his face and the Kirlia squeezed its eyes shut. Right before Emily's eyes, the weapon crumpled in on itself. After the scrap pile landed on the ground the pokemon looked exhausted. The boy recalled it.
"Now you've gone and made me mad." He said bluntly as he pulled out another ball. Emily immediately broke into a run and took her bag. The ball erupted and out came a Salamence. The boy got on the dragon's back and began to take air. Emily cursed when she saw the dead end. The Dragon bounded the corner and was sailing toward her.
Think fast! She closed her eyes and swung the bag . It hit the boy and he fell of but she fell to the ground when the Salamence sideswiped her to the ground. The dragon put its huge claw on her chest and pushed down. She felt the air being pushed right out of her. The boy glared at her intensely.
"Siefer. We need her alive." A radio buzzed through. He clicked it off."Affirmative." He took out a bottle of chloroform and applied it to the cloth he had in hand and pushed it against Emily's mouth. "I'm going to enjoy hearing your screams when Doctor Scottsdale's done with you…" He snickered.
Scottsdale?! From Omega? Emily felt hr mind getting clouded and drowsy as she shook her head.Jonathan…Her world went black.

Siefer recalled his Salamence back and clicked his radio. "Capture confirmed, she is in the bag."
"Good Siefer, bring her before me."
"Yes Doc." He clicked it off and gestured for the grunts to pick up Emily's sleeping form. As she passed by him he took her hand and kissed it.
"Always a pleasure ma'am." He snickered to himself.

Scottsdale sat back at the edge of his chair. Ok now we have them both…
His com-link beeped and he clicked on the monitor. It was Shrieker.
"Mr. Scottsdale? We have the formulas prepared."
Scottsdale closed his eyes. "Good, right in time. See that they are delivered on time."
"Yes Mr. Scottsdale, the formula's are en route as we speak…"
"Good work Shrieker. They better arrive on time, or its your neck." Scottsdale said coldly.
"Yes boss." The monitor clicked off.
Scottsdale sat back in his seat.
Now let us hope everything goes according to plan.
"Doctor Scottsdale."
He clicked his com-link again.
"This is team two, we captured the candidate along with another who tried to protect her."
Scottsdale nodded to himself. " Bring them in."
"We're en route to home base as we speak."
"Scottsdale out."
So we have three tonight, our opportunities just keep growing and growing.
He sat in a chair and chucked to himself. "Project Legend, when will you cease to amaze me?"

Julie finished with the reports she prepared for Scottsdale. Ugh, for once I would like to do something besides paperwork! A paper at the top of her pile blew from a sudden rush of air and went down another part of the hall way she never been to before.
Damn it! She stomped her foot and began to march toward the paper on the floor when she heard a door open. She immediately hid in the dark part of the hall when she saw two men in strange uniforms carrying a passed out blond woman. Her eyes widened.
What are they doing? Kidnappers? I got to warn Scottsdale! She began to run but then stopped.
Why do I have the feeling he's the last person I'd want to share this with? Oh fine I'll find out for myself. She put the papers down and began to silently walk down the dark corridors to where they took the sleeping girl…

An: Ohh boy, Julie has no idea what she is in for. I decided to plant seeds of suspicion for Julie in the past chapters and now it's reaching a boiling point. This can all lead down one possible outcome though, whether that's a good outcome remains to be seen. Well, please review and happy holidays! MEE-YAA!
