So... here's the next one, hopefully I can get the other fics going. I took an old idea from the Betrayal comments that dated back to March 18. Also, nothing really significant but... on 9/22/2018, I reached 10k views on the betrayal :D. Big accomplishment if it gets there for some reason.
But anyways...
Enjoy!
CHAPTER 21:
Eletius was asleep in her bed as she was on top of Erick. The two were sleeping calmly, until the door opened slowly and in came an Absol. The Absol walked in and jumped on Eletius, only for her to wake up instantly and grab the Abosl's neck, strangling her with one claw. The Absol eked out, "Help… me."
Then a voice came, "Hey blazing girl, don't strangle Twi."
In came a man as Erick now was awake, "Huh? Who are you?"
The man entered, "The name's Davver. And that's my friend you're strangling."
Eletius looked as the Absol smiled nervously. Instead, she threw the dark type at Davver and both landed on the floor. Erick asked, "Where's Clark?"
Davver answered, "He's currently unavailable because he got sent off to Sinnoh again."
"Again?"
"I don't know, he said something about having to see what Galactic was doing again."
Eletius smartassed, "Why? They plan to send him off to the future so I kill him?"
"No."
Erick quickly stopped, "OK, and you are here because?"
Davver explained, "Well… you're going off to Cipher for today."
Both of them were slightly baffled as Erick asked, "Cipher?"
"Yeah, the Orre region."
Eletius got up and protested, "Hell no, I'd rather stay here and kick your ass."
Twi got in the way, "Ahem."
"Sorry, I'll kick her ass so her blade goes up yours."
Davver asked Erick in annoyance, "Is this normal?"
Erick nodded, "You'll get used to it."
So afterwards, Davver had the two brought onto a plane, and him and Twi went with them, seeing as it was new territory. Once their plane took off, Davver told Eletius, "I forget to say that Tyler wanted to speak to you, but since we were in a hurry, I told him I'll have it ready on the plane. So, here's the phone."
The holophone went up as Tyler showed up, "Good, finally, now wondering why the hell I'm here."
Eletius cut him off, "Yeah, normally Clark does this shit."
"He's here for a week to keep a watch on someone important. Now, since you're one of the few to know about Selezsis being brought back to life and question why, I might as well answer that."
Erick popped up, "Alright, well?"
"Ok, so, I kidnapped Elise, we sent her back in time, and… well, I'm sure you can figure the rest out."
Eletius and Erick were down right confused. Erick asked, "Um… I don't get it."
"Elise was sent back… about 25 years ago where she'd become a Sceptile at around the time of grandpa's enslavement."
"Why specifically that?"
"Well, let's just say I took a little blood from Elise and when grandma appeared, I decided to see exactly how Elise got the romantic gene for grandpa."
Eletius groaned, "Are you telling me?"
"Yeah, Elise is like mom, anyway, when I compared the two… they were exactly the same. Ok, it was older on grandma's sample, but don't you get it? You know what this means?"
"You need a new hobby?"
"That, and Elise and… Selezsis… are the same."
"Huh?"
Erick chipped with her, "Agreeing with her is very rare but, huh?"
Tyler slapped himself and yelled, "Elise and Selezsis are the same fucking Pokémon you assholic fucktards!"
Everything went silent as Eletius asked, "Wait… wait, are you saying… Yema's mother… is also… her daughter?"
"Yes!"
"How…"
"Don't, besides, it's hilarious seeing that grandpa committed voluntary incest without knowing it."
Erick told him, "I think we had enough."
"Yeah, now, don't get killed in Orre."
(Time skip three hours)
The plane arrived in Orre at a Cipher base, based right in the desert lands. The four got off the plane as Davver told the two, "Now, you'll be here for today, and Twi will make sure you don't cause trouble."
Erick said, "I can handle myself."
"I meant your bitch."
Eletius snapped her head towards him as Davver told her, "Now, I want you to behave because I know Erick can control himself. I have my duties to attend to and Twi."
Twi looked, "Yes Dav?"
"Watch them, and make sure they don't get into trouble."
Erick crossed his arms, "I thought you just said…"
"I changed my mind, now, have a good day."
He left without another word as Twi just smiled at the two of them.
(In Ferrum)
Niko was with Guillermo and Director Tanner and also General Rexas as the whole group was deciding on plans for any kind of attack created by Alliance. At the meeting table, they were heavily debating on defenses for the major cities in terms of whatever Mintoyae would throw at them.
Rexas first said, "This crazy Froakie thinks he could just run right through, so we'll just barricade the capital and surrounding area with those fancy prism tanks. Next, we'll protect further areas of nearby cities with the grizzly tanks and IFVs."
Tanner asked, "Alright, we can solve those issues with ease. From what we've seen, his first target might just be the Bureau. Ok, he might go and attempt the killing of the queen, but there is literally no possibility that we can just throw ourselves out of the equation."
"How so?"
Guillermo answered, "Sir, we pose a greater obstacle than the rest of Ferrum and any other region. Next, he might target Flare and any other nearby enemies, or Plasma. But…"
Tanner cut him off, "Wait there, our intelligence has just got that Plasma has teamed with Alliance and now they helped to give Alliance some technology that, according to those solders we go our tanks and stuff from, is these Soviets they were talking about. Psycho Minto here is pretty damn hard to scan over in terms of cracks and holes for terms of weak points. We need some way to take him out."
Rexas suggested, "What about that new assassin of yours?"
"Who?"
"The weird accented one that nearly chopped off Niko's head?"
Niko nervously said, "Oh… him."
Tanner explained, "Well, in terms of beating the Sceptile, zero. But, in terms of him following our instructions, thanks to Niko", shooting a glare to him, ", it seems that we might have issues in controlling that aspect."
Guillermo asked, "And in terms of protecting the Bureau?"
"Why?"
"This is the only place that we have. Yes, we have some areas in the north, but this is where everything is controlled from. If this goes, we can consider Ferrum by itself and soon the Teams can basically… topple the governments and the world is going to go to ruins."
Rexas paused, "Ok, first off I think the term dictatorship is the term here. Secondly, Alliance has Flare, Galactic, and whoever the hell else to fight so they could blast themselves into ruins and everything might be sorta fixed and you can arise as… the association?"
Guillermo asked, "Really? And what happens when you have to get stuck muddling commands to deal with Alliance, Galactic, Cipher, or any others, hmm? We need a way to secure Ferrum in a safety net so we don't lose any more than we need to. Besides, if this falls into Alliances favor, we can suffer a death toll, lose everything, and then Unova could fall, then Kalos, then it can trickle down into the lower regions. It's a mad setup!"
Tanner nodded, "True, and with what intel can tell us…"
The doors busted open with Anderson appearing, "Well, I've been lisenin' to yer talk and I thought I'd add a bit into it sayin' that app'rently that liz'rd of yers is not what was shown."
Rexas asked, "I'm sorry, I was attacked by it so I know exactly what the hell it looks like."
"Then you need some glasses like me. I saw the liz'rd with me own eyes and it was a winged…"
Tanner stopped, "Wait, Yema wasn't winged… wait."
Tanner popped open a computer screen and keyboard and looked through some files in the Bureau's database. He then said, "Hold on, winged, what else?"
Anderson continued, "Well, the liz'rd lass had some kind of pink scarf…"
Tanner whispered, "A tongue."
"… these we'rd wings that… wait, her's a pictur'."
He pulled out a picture that…
Tanner said, "Holy shit."
Rexas snatched it, "Impossible! There can't be two… could there?"
"Wait, those are Garchomp wings. Wait, there's a Garchomp with Mintoyae, but down the line… hold on… this doesn't make sense."
Anderson calmly said, "Neither do ye. But, I'll be on me way now."
He left the room as Rexas said, "Well, while you try to figure out what the fuck that is, I gotta get back to the parliament. Don't want anyone to take my seat."
Guillermo asked, "Permission to…"
Tanner nodded, "Permission granted."
Guillermo bowed and left the room as well. Tanner now was alone as he tried to think over this. Winged, Yema… Garchomp wings… Greninja tongue… Sceptile body… her nightmare contained nothing of it and the only one according to files that even has the first two was… Yamito. He was on file for a while, but posed almost no threat. But… how could there be such a combination, and Tanner certainly, yet actually didn't, know that Yema and Yamito fucked, so how the how did a combination like that appear?
He shook his head, "Forget it, just focus on the real issues, or at least what we got right now."
(In Kanto)
After the time they took to look over and correctly identify it, Gottfried agreed to allow the facts he had to become viewable to the public. Inside Sabrina's apartment, Martin asked him, "You sure everyone will accept this?"
Gottfried honestly couldn't tell, "Depends. From what I've researched, people have stuck to that story for so long I doubt they'd accept this as the new truth."
"Well, not every part of story was fake."
"True. But there was more to it that wasn't seen, so that might be hard to include within the original."
"And… what about now? There's no way they'll believe what those books say since they've seen that broadcast. All three of us saw it and I saw fear in your eyes as much as I had in mine."
Even though Martin was right, Gottfried's fear was a different kind that emulated from the memory of his past with the events of Mintoyae.
He got up and simply said, "True, I won't lie on that."
Martin told him, "Not your fault. If Delia here didn't act that bitch she was none of this would've ever happened."
Gottfired grabbed the diary and said, "Hopefully Sabrina can get it pub…"
Before he could finish, Sabrina entered the home, "You will never believe this."
The two Pokémon all looked as Sabrina told them, "Someone already got down everything from the dairies and are taking full credit of it."
Gottfried asked, "Full credit isn't the problem…"
"I know, a little overreaction, but they literally came in and stole everything and everybody thinks they're the ones who found out about this whole mess."
"That is a problem. And who exactly is it, because I sensed a stressing on the someone."
"You're right; it's this antiquated news reporter…"
(At 'someone's' house)
"Max Kolchak!"
Sherya yelled in glee as the two were hitting it huge with the stolen story they got. She continued, "I can't even believe you put all that down and got them selling of like fucking fiddle rotators!"
Kolchak was relaxing back, with a Pocky stick in his mouth to imitate a cigarette. He took it out and said, "Damn right, but it was thanks to you since I wouldn't have gotten that shit from those three dickheads. Um, who were they?"
Sherya answered, "Um, I think one was Sabrina…"
"Eh, never was interested."
"Then there was a detective…"
"Lame."
"And a Machoke."
"And I'm already bored. So, in terms of us getting caught?"
"Only if they find out you live here."
"Eh, let 'em bitch about it, I don't care. We got cash, that's what counts."
(Back to Sabrina's place)
Gottfried sighed, "Look, it doesn't matter right now because what we have has been published so even if we don't get credit, at least this is going to get out to the public."
Sabrina asked, "Gottfried, are you sure? You could go to this guy's house with a warrant…"
"Sabrina, it's petty for the moment. Right now we need to further investigate this brand new evidence even further."
Then Martin asked, "And I'm allowed to…"
"Of course, you may go. Thank you for all your help and your time."
Martin nodded, "Welcome."
He left the apartment with whatever belongings he had, leaving Gottfried and Sabrina alone. They had to get this old mystery solved, but hopefully before hell begins.
(In Unova at dusk)
Yema, Yamito, and Mintoyae were back in the mines, ready to get back to their daily lives. Ok, Mintoyae had his issue but everyone else was… ok, you know what, nobody was back to their daily lives, there, the truth be told. Yema and Martin were sobbing over their missing daughter and son whom a death note was found saying both were killed, Yamito was comforting Bonnie after she told him about the horrible talk with Maraich, and Mintoyae was… Mintoyae.
All he could do was just stand by seeing as they were just… not really his own little kids anymore. Shit'll happen and they'll need to deal with it. However, he did feel some sadness hearing that two of his grandkids were killed, even though we know where they went.
(In Orre at dusk)
Orre's dusk is a few hours backwards so dusk here is night at Unova. Anyway, Eletius was tired and Erick was having a pretty decent conversation with Twi. As they were getting to the good stuff, Eletius barged in, "Hey, can we go to bed now? It's nighttime."
Erick looked over, "Calm down, you can go to bed, no one's…"
Then a yell was heard, "WE GOT TROUBLE!"
All three looked at the voice, only to look out the windows to see a dust cloud come their direction. (Play GLA theme 7 as optional) The dust clouds coming toward the base were being stirred up by on-coming trucks and vehicles. Everyone inside the base already had their guns out, Pokémon armed, and missiles primed. Erick and Eletius were baffled as Davver came running yelling, "Twi!"
Twi ran to him as he said, "Come on, we have to get to the bunker."
Erick quickly asked, "Davver, what the hell is going on?"
"Team ISIS."
"Who?"
"Their some kind of group of mercenaries that came from Kanto decades ago. They moved into Orre and have been causing problems with locals and us. Galactic has helped in trying to keep them away from us… but they don't seem to be stopping anytime soon."
The dust cloud was getting closer, this time they heard truck engines running as the farthest seeing eyes spotted trucks with guns attached to them, with men in Arabic styled clothes and black bandannas riding in them, and with a few black flags with unusual white squiggles whipping in the air. What made them more fearing is how they managed to bring the Pokémon from Orre and even in neighboring regions into their setup. So think of your usual ISIS soldier, only instead it's a Lucario instead of a human.
They were getting closer as the trucks began opening fire. One commander yelled, "FIRE!"
All the phasor guns, regular guns, Pokémon, and missiles fired right at the trucks as explosions were seen, trucks being blown to bits, and people and Pokémon getting thrown all over the place. But that didn't fully stop the threat as several of the thrown off attackers just grabbed a weapon and began shooting at the base.
The defending Orre base was being pummeled by the onslaught of bullets, people getting shot, and even a couple falling off the building. Erick and Eletius were stuck somewhere behind the whole shooting setup, but they weren't in the range of getting killed. Bullets flew, gun fire was loud and around, they had little to defend with, yet Alphonse took the initiative and went into nightmare form as Eletius followed along. Then coming out of the halls, Davver and Twi ran through as Twi was in her nightmare form as well.
Her whole body was black/purple with claw toes, double blades, actual wings, and, an internal upgrade, she had triple the vision she originally had, almost as close as a Luxray.
They came out with Davver yelling, "Have they breeched?!"
Erick shook his head, "No, but what the fuck is this?!"
"One of their weekly attacks."
An explosion rattled the front of the building. "Weekly?! How do you people keep this place up?"
"I don't know, it's whoever the hell's leading who's holding it up! I should've moved out, but the place they want me to go gets attacks every three to four days. Rarely two."
Erick was outraged, "Two?! This whole fucking region is a death…"
Another explosion from the trucks getting blasted; "… trap!"
Davver gestured, "Come on, let's go, quickly!"
He led the two out down the hallways as the base was getting bombarded. Most of the attackers fled back while a few still attacked and a good chunk was destroyed and/or killed. The Cipher guards blocked off most of the attack, but a few were killed off. By night, the attack was over and everyone tried to recover from the event.
Eletius, Erick, Davver, and Twi were back to normal and unharmed. Erick asked Davver, "We have to stay tonight?"
Davver nodded, "Yeah, and leave tomorrow before Clark either gets pissed because there was an attack… or because he thought I got both of you killed… or both."
Eletius nodded, "Ok, let me first take my talon and stick it far up your ass, then we can talk."
Twi's ears perked, "Watch it."
"HA, you watch it because I can kick your ass, both in type and in reality."
Davver raised his hand, "Twi, it's not worth it."
Eletius, being motivated by Erick, went to bed as Erick did so as well, then most o everyone else went to bed except for those who now have shell shock or are still having adrenaline.
(In Italy's universe)
Now, after Hux and Catherine got it on, the two have actually been, for the most part, very cooperative. Frank looked over as he wondered what the hell happened between the two that made them that close.
As he was by the entrance of the nature room, Edward came along and asked, "Dad, something wrong?"
Frank just said, "Well Edward, other than me trying to figure out why the hell those two are getting along that good, I'm just deciding if I should retire."
Edward was a bit confused, "Um, dad, you're only in your forties."
Frank nodded, "I know, I know, I'm too young to retire. Look, I'm just a human here, ok? I'm not a Gallade or a Pokémon, sure I was being a wannabe Gallade with those injected gems, but that was way long ago. Now, I'm just… losing some kind of spark."
"Well, what spark could you be missing?"
"Well, killing Pokémon now is a bore, I don't feel all that energetic, trading is boring, and I feel like I need some caffeinated crack with a side of weed and heroin to jumpstart me."
"Depression?"
"Age and not enough exciting shit."
"You sure?"
Edward made a grin as his father just chuckled, "Ok, I bullshitted you on that. I found that Gekko Hitler has a couple apocalypse tanks, and I'm gonna talk to Makias to see if I can pull one out from that pile."
"Alright dad, have a fun time."
"You bet."
And Italy teleported off as Edward, from afar, went into Hux's head… aaaand he pulled out seeing what happened. His father is gonna be "happy" to hear of Catherine's possible second husband.
(Back to Ferrum)
As seen from the last chapter, there was a being going over the Ferrum lands, or at least going through the papers, addresses, and such to find Ashley. She had literally no patience to do so and she was in no mood to deal with delays. But once she found the address, she was on her way. Now, she was standing in front of Niko's house as she just stepped right through the door and entered in. Was there anyone in the house? Yes. Three. It was Jan, Alphonse, and Ashley. Laura and Adonis were out, and Niko was also out at the base.
The being floated up the steps, looked to where the three were sleeping, and went into the room, finding the three sleeping in one bed. She made a disgusted remark and moved Ashley off the bed and into what was Niko's room. She dropped Ashley on the floor, waking her up abruptly, only for her to see…
"M-mom?!"
(At the Bureau)
"So, something I wanted to tell you about, seeing as it might have some possible meaning sir."
Niko told Tanner as the man asked, "What?"
"A few nights ago, I had this dream of some building being destroyed and me getting Alphonse out of it before it exploded and collapsed, killing us."
"And… what importance have?"
"I wasn't the only one who had the same dream"
Tanner was a bit confused, "What do you mean the only one?"
"Jan and Ashley had something that related to mine and it fit almost like a puzzle."
"Well, assuming it's the same dream, can you tell me what building?"
"From the looks of those halls… it was this building."
"This building? The Bureau building? You very sure?"
"It had to because there was a poster that was on the same hall, and in the dream it was there as well… and that was the only place to have the same poster… so…"
Tanner thought to himself, 'Oh shit, you can't be saying… no, no, it's just a coincidence.'
Tanner told Niko, "If anything else comes up, just tell me. For now, I'll have to wait and see."
Niko replied, "Yes sir."
He hoped that what it was wasn't what he thought it was… the building was going to get destroyed… and if those dreams are connected, Jan and Ashley would die.
Rate and Review.
