Hi! I'm back! It's been a long couple of days, and to make up for the lost time I'm going to write a chapter every night for a few days. Anyways thanks for the support like always, and I love to hear from you guys, so don't forget to tell me what you think! :3 -Pogokitten

The video was only about 30 seconds long, but after it was over Austin was frozen in fear. The glow of the computer made his face pale and ghost like. It couldn't be. They can't possibly have it imprisoned there Austin tried to convince himself. Umbreon was growling at the screen as if he expected the creature in the video to reach through the computer. Umbreon's soft growl snapped Austin back into action.

Trying to push what he had seen out of his mind, he concentrated on finding the file he had come for. After finding it he copied both the file and after a bit of hesitation, the Eternal Nightmare project file on to a USB as well. He shoved both the USB and the code cracker into his bag shakily. Knowing he had wasted far too much time Austin logged out and headed for the door. The hall way was luckily deserted as they snuck their way to an exit. Austin was still reeling from his discover as they went, which was why he crashed right into a man in a white lab coat.

Umbreon unleashed a shadow ball, but the man was faster and before it hit him yelled,

"Intruder!" The man was sent flying as the shadow ball hit him in the chest, but the damage had been done. The sound of running footsteps was fast approaching. Throwing caution to the wind Austin took off down the hall at full speed. As they sprinted through the halls a screeching alarm sounded. Austin could feel it vibrating his ear drums. He could hear the guards and their pokemon now, gaining on him. As Austin spotted an exit, 4 guards rounded the corner each with a Growlith. The door had auto locked when the alarm had sounded, which was way it did not even budged when Austin pulled on it.

He had no option but to fight now. Austin turned to face their pursuers. The pokemon growled menacingly. The biggest guard stepped forward.

"You aren't going nowhere bastard." He said grinning. Austin took a fighting stance. The man and his pokemon charged. The narrow hallway was not Austin's ideal place to fight, but he could use it to his advantage. As the man charged Austin expertly slid underneath him on the smooth tile floor. The man had no time to stop and he ran right into the steel door. He fell to the floor blood dripping from his nose. With a practiced ease Umbreon flipped the guard's Growlith over and bite its soft under belly. The pokemon howled in pain as blood stained its fur.

"I'll get you for that you-" Another guard started until Austin swiftly grabbed his forehead and slammed him into the wall. The man fell to the floor blood dripping from his scalp. The other Growlith howled and went to attack until Umbreon hit it with a dark pulse. The other two men shook with anger and ran at him at the same time.

Austin moved so fast that the men didn't even know what happened. Pulling two retractable hooked blades from his pack; Austin extended them to their two and a half foot length, and hooked a leg on each man. He pulled back, instantly breaking their limbs. They gasped in pain, but Austin silenced them by smacking them across the face with his steel hook blades. He wiped the blood from his weapons while Umbreon finished off the other pokemon.

"Guess we don't have to be subtle anymore." Austin muttered. Umbreon understood what they needed and began to create a huge shadow ball. More guards could be heard running to them. A bead of sweat rolled down Austin's neck. He wasn't sure he could handle more than five at once. Finally the shadow ball was ready, and with a howl Umbreon unleashed it at the heavy door. It was blasted off its hinges and went flying. The two raced out the door as the guards came into view.

The alarm was still ringing as they sprinted over the open ground to the safety of the tree line. The guards and flying pokemon swarmed them, but Umbreon and Austin were much too fast and had the cover of darkness on their side. In the confusion of the swarming people and pokemon they snuck away.

A few hours later they arrived back in Tokyo. Austin and Umbreon were both exhausted. The two returned to their small apartment and promptly fell asleep. Austin woke up two hours later and took a shower. After a hurried dinner of rice balls Austin sat down at his desk and plugged in the USB drive. Austin smiled softly as he watched his pokemon sleep next to the computer chair.

Though extremely curious and fearful about the Eternal Nightmare project, Austin knew work came first and opened file ex.22-0009 which was about the super solider project. Most of the documents in the folder where encrypted, and the ones that weren't where too complicated for him to understand. He was about to give up for the night when a video file caught his eye. That was at least something he could understand.

He clicked the play button. The image was fuzzy but clearer than the other one. It showed a young girl of about 8 Austin felt was familiar. She was strapped to a table by leather restraints dressed in a hospital gown, and hooked up to several different monitors. A group of people in lab coats stood around her. She was crying struggling to break free. The adults had on gloves and masks like surgeons. As they stepped in closer one of them blocked the camera's view of the girl.

"Are we ready to start the procedure?" One asked. The other nodded and closed in around the little girl. There was a high pitched scream of agony from the girl that woke Umbreon and sent him streaking from the room. Austin watched wide eyed as blood splattered the floor and camera lens. Even though Austin could not see what was happening to the girl he supposed was Kyu, he could still hear the pokemon-like shrieks of unbearable pain from her.

Austin turned away from the computer and lost his dinner on the floor.
