XIII : The Boss
I fainted…And you ate my ass? – Comrade Snarky
"Fuck" Louise screamed. "I gotta head down there. Start sleeping gas in the pokemon's room, and do not leave those screens" As Louise rushed down the hall, his only thoughts were The boss is going to kill me, and I never get to pound that pussy.
Rose remembered something she had learned from watch interviews with witnesses, at accident or crime scenes. When asked about the body, they generally only remembered the blood. Not where it came from, but that their was blood.
Rose's plan was simple. She had started singing, to make them think she was crazy, to give her "sucicide" more plausibility. It doesn't take much to get people to think your crazy, show tunes from outdated musicals, will generally do it.
Hopping she convinced them she was crazy, Rose took the metal fork they gave her (although a broken plastic fork would do) and stabbed the inside of her palm. Rose pressed it to her neck, faced the camera's, and "passed out". It worked just like she hoped it would, when Louise rushed into the room.
"Oh fuck! Oh fuck, fuck, fuck" Rose lay on her back, with her eyes open, and her still bleeding palm on her neck. By now, the blood had stained her dirt rag, and the smell burned her nose and eyes. It was a Herculean effort, not to blink or breathe.
"Okay, maybe its not that bad" Louise removed Rose's limp hand, dropping it on the fork. All that blood, but, no wound? "What the?"
"DIE FUCKER" Rose screamed, grabbing the fork, and stabbing him in the leg. Louise screamed, and dropped down on the knee, trying to pull the fork out, while Rose scooted away, and jumped up.
"FUCK" Louise screamed, and then grit his teeth, as he pulled the fork out. He looked at it, then looked up, right as Rose drove a full kick under his chin. Louise hit the ground face first, and Rose brought her fists down hard on his head. When he hit the ground, she stomped on the back of his neck, until he stopped moving.
Satisfied he was unconscious, Rose began searching his pockets, until she found his key card.
"I'm going to take this" Rose found Louise's wallet, with 400 in it. "I'm going to take this too" Rose put the money in her hair, and ran out the door, which slammed shut behind her.
Louise came to slowly, blood dripping out of the gash in his forehead, from hitting the ground. He flipped over, and sat up. The door was closed, and his key card, and wallet were missing.
"This can't be fucking happening to me" Louise pulled out his radio, "Guys, where is Red?"
"Well" the guys in the security room said, "After she beat the shit out of you, she stole your key card, and ran out the door. We think she's looking for Ninetails" Louise swallowed, and counted to 10.
"Why didn't you stop her?"
"You told us not to move from the screen"
"…YOU STUPID FUCKS, you needed to fucking stop her. Great, look, turn off the blocker shields, I'll retrieve them, and we don't want the boss to know, understood?"
"Your going to take them on your self?"
"No one can know she got out"
"Yes sir"
Rose assumed they kept all of the holding cells on the same hall, so she turned down her hall, instead of heading to the main one.
All of the doors looked the same, so she tried every one. All were empty, until she came to the second to last one. Sliding the card, the door opened, to reveal Ninetails,
slumped down on the floor.
"Ninetails, crap" Rose rushed over, ignoring the white taped square, the pressure sensors designed to go off when the gas entered the room. She started to shake Ninetails awake.
When Ninetails had asked if they could really be that stupid, she got her answer when they left a glass of water for her. Why they used a glass was beyond her, but Ninetails saw it as an easy way to escape the sleeping gas.
Simply turning the glass over, and sticking her muzzle in the least far it would go, she was able to create a pocket of air. Their was enough air in the glass to last about two minutes, which was all she needed.
Ninetails didn't even need the gas to fully dissipate, just to stop coming out. When she heard the spray noise, she dropped to her side, muzzle in glass, eye's closed. When she heard the door open, she prepared. Now, someone was trying to shake her awake?
Time to strike "Ninetales!' She cried, leaping up, fangs ready to bite, until she saw, "Nine" (Rose?)
"Hey, I made it, now lets get out of here" Ninetails leapt up, and the two began to run out of the room. Ninetails made it about halfway, when she realized she felt different. Energetic, less lethargic.
"Tales ninetales" (Hold on a second Rose) Rose turned to see what the hold up was. Ninetails turned her head straight up, and shot out a stream of fire.
"What the?" My fire is back. The two rushed out.
"I've got to stop them" Louise muttered, touching his sore forehead, "Or I'm a dead man" He made it to Ninetails cell, right as the two rushed out.
"Ah, my favorite people!" Louise cried.
"Louise, get out of my way"
"Or what?"
"Ninetales!" (Or we kick your ass). This got a laugh.
"You, kick my ass?" Rose and Ninetails looked at each other, then Louise, with curious expressions plastered on their faces.
"How, how did you know what Ninetails said?"
"I dunno, maybe, because of this" Louise smirked. He began to glow white.
"No fucking way!" Distinct spikes appeared in his outline, as he dropped in height, and onto four legs. The glow faded, revealing him as a Jolteon.
"I bet you never expected that" he said in English. Ninetails jumped in front of Rose, in battle position.
"Tales ninetales nine" (Rose, get in the room, and out of the way) The language barrier didn't hinder Rose, who moved backwards, into the cell.
"So, you think you can beat me?"
"Ninetales nine ninetales ninetales" (I know it. I allways look at my oponets as candy bars, they all wear different wrappers, but on the inside they're soft, and they melt in heat)
"Well in that case, thunderbolt" A bolt of electricity shot off of Louise's body, which Ninetails met with a flame-thrower.
At first, the electricity and the fire were equal, neither moving back or forward. But Ninetails flame-thrower slowly began creeping forward.
"I can't beat you in power" Louise said, "But I can do this" Louise let electricity flow from his body, into the floor, knowing it was metal. His thunderbolt dropped, allowing for Ninetails flame thrower to surge. Unfortunately, since the floor was metal, and Ninetails couldn't jump away, the electricity surged through her body, rendering her unconscious.
"That's one" Louise stepped over Ninetails, and began to move on Rose. Rose was backing up, not knowing that the pressure sensors on the square had been turned back on. The back of Rose's foot hit the square.
Two high pressure hoses unloaded all the water at Rose, sending her flying against the back wall, knocking her out.
Louise simply stared at the soaking, unconscious girl, as he shifted back to human form. Suddenly, his radio crackled.
"Louis" The boss.
Gulp "Yes sir?"
"I know about your screw up" Louise's heart dropped, "But I'm willing to over look it. I've turned the blocker shields back on, bring the girl and the pokemon to me"
"Yes sir"
Rose and Ninetails awoke, to find them selves somewhere new. Rose was sitting in an office chair, Ninetails sitting on the floor beside her, in something like an office.
"Glad to see you've rejoined us" It was the voice that made them notice the desk in front of them, and the creature beside it. Rose and Ninetails shock was obvious.
"I know who you are!"
"I'm glad to hear someone does" The man behind the desk was a Sceptile hybrid, with a human shaped face, green skin, yellow eyes, yellow bulbs on his back, and a palm frond like tail. He was wearing a pinstriped suit, with holes cut out for his pokemon parts.
"You're Grovyl, you're the guy who leads the hybrid army"
"Ninetales nine ninetales" (I always though that Julius guy was creepy, he doesn't hold a candle to you)
"What do you want from us?" The hybrid smiled.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to meet the two people who beat my security system, and out smarted that moron Louis"
"Ninetales nine" (I've been getting injections, what are you doing to us?)
"Oh, the injections? That's something you will understand later"
"Why did you kidnap us?"
"Do you know just how powerful sliders could be? They are the best soldiers, they can blend in seamlessly in either arm"
"Ninetales" (An army, so you want the world)
"EXACTLY" He screamed, slamming his green fist on the desk. "I want the world, and every thing that I have coming to me. The war has been going on for 15 years, the army's are weak. My super soldiers will be able to march up, and take every thing"
"Well, obviously, your super soldiers have flaws, or we wouldn't be here" Grovyl scowled.
"Yes, they do have flaws. Over time, it becomes harder and harder for them to shift back and forth between human and pokemon form, with the pokemon form eventually taking over. We needed your friends to make a few, minor adjustments"
"And what about us?" A buzzing noise came from the speaker on Grovyl's desk.
"Your about to find out" The door opened, and two grunts marched in. "Take them to the lab"
The grunts grabbed Rose and Ninetails by the neck. Rose elbowed one in the stomach, while Ninetails bit the other on the arm. The two didn't even flinch, and lead the struggling Rose and Ninetails away.
The speaker buzzed again, and Grovyl pressed the button.
"Good work Grovyl, come and see me in my office immediately"
"Yes sir" Grovyl turned to the wall behind his desk, and pressed a small button.
Instantly, a door to a second office opened up, and Grovyl walked inside.
The boss sat behind a large oak desk, with three portraits of three military men behind him. The boss gestured for Grovyl to sit down, before turning his chair around, to face the center portrait.
"Grovyl, do you know who this man is?"
"No sir" He did, but the correct answer was no.
"General Yuri T. Koskav, two star general in the Sinnoh army, 78 years ago. Best remembered for being stranded in the mountains, with one platoon of soldiers, when they came under attack from 10,000 hybrids. Killed every one" Grovyl growled.
"Those hybrids were 98 hybrids, they had completely feral minds" The boss laughed.
"Which makes it all the more amazing they beat 10,000 of them" He sniffled, "Greatest General ever, and a hero to all man kind"
"Correct me if I'm wrong sir, but General Koskav was executed two years later, for the rape and murder of a 14 year old girl"
"Lies spread by the liberal-biased media. Koskav was the greatest hero the world has ever seen, until me of course"
Here we go Grovyl thought.
"Grovyl, I called you in here, because of the incident earlier today" The boss flipped back around, smiling an oily smile. "That girl, and that Ninetales escaped"
"Yes sir, but Louise was able to get them back"
"Louise was able to get lucky. I don't trust Louise" The boss growled, "Louise doesn't know who I am, only you and Mr. Rollan know who I am"
"A blessing every day sir"
"I can't have another screw up like that Grovyl. Never bring her into your office, if I chose, I will speak to her personally" The boss sighed, "You're excused"
As Grovyl left, he thought about that man, and how much he hated that racist bastard.
"But as long as he has the envelope" Grovyl muttered, "I have to keep working for him" This depressed the hybrid, as he headed down to the main lab.
Rose and Ninetails both remembered the machine they had seen in the lab, with the tubes, and the rolling tables. Rose and Ninetails were strapped to tables on opposite ends.
Louise grinned at them, along with several other guards. They knew the fun part was about to happen.
I can't move Rose thought. The machine the tubes were attached to beeped. Oh shit. The conveyer belt began to move.
Authors Note : Oh goody, the next two chapters are good ones. Also, the quote at the beginning had nothing to do with the chapter, I just like it
