Kage held his chest as he leaped out of the way of a ground shattering Psychic attack from Draco. Rolling onto the ground, Kage got back up, only to be sent flying into a large truck that was parked besides a large generator. Draco shouted loudly over and over as he thrust his arm forward over and over, pounding Kage into the truck until Kage was sent straight into the generator. Scarlet and Robert watched in horror as Draco blindly unleashed a furious barrage of attacks. Clenching his teeth, Draco brought his palms together and pushed two Psychic attacks against one another. Shouting loudly, he sent a Psychic Press attack straight at Kage. Kage strained to lift his hand up to the incoming attack. Kage exclaimed as the attack blew up against the rushed Protect he sent up.
"You took everything from me!" Draco shouted as he walked towards Kage as he panted in the mess of a scarp he was pinned against.
"L-listen to me son-", Kage was silenced as Draco slapped him hard across the face with his Psyhcic as he continued towards him.
"You took my childhood away. You broke my mind. You took mother from me! ALL BECAUSE OF I FAILED YOU ONCE!" Draco shouted as he planted his feet firmly on the ground and lifted up the split truck into the air.
Robert looked away, whilst Scarlet covered her mouth with both hands as she watched the love of her life slam the truck down onto his father. The truck exploded as Draco crushed the heavily damaged vehicle with one last Psychic attack. The fiery flames illuminated his face. Orange and red lights reflected off the hot tears that streamed down Draco's cheeks. Tears slowly began to flow from Scarlet's eyes as she saw Draco in pain and anger so great that she was actually afraid, afraid of Draco. Swinging his arms outwards, Draco blew away the flames, revealing his father unharmed from the explosion as he had cast another protect around himself.
"S-son. P-please, lis-Hreeegh!" Kage stopped as Draco clasped his mind around his throat, cutting off his air as he lifted him into the air and brought him closer.
"You have no right to call me your son. You lost it the day you broke me", Draco said, venom hung on his words.
"J-just-L-listen to me-!" Kage choked out his words.
"Don't you fucking tell me what to do!" Draco shouted into Kage's face.
Letting out a loud shout, Draco swung Kage up into the air, tearing apart a metal walkway above and then falling onto a rail-less walkway above. Kage gasped and coughed out for air as blood blasted out with each cough he made. Standing up, he saw Draco's arm. Draco's arm was covered in a deep, dark, purple blade nearly five times the length of his own body.
"Son! Li-*Cough*-Listen to me!" Kage begged as he tried to speak to Draco.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU!" Draco shouted up towards his battered father.
With a loud roar, Draco swung his arm through the air, releasing the large crescent blade up at Kage. The shiny Gallade swore loudly as the blade expanded three times its side. Metal beams, walkways, nothing stood a chance against Draco's rage filled attack as the rumbling vibrations from the blade as it cut effortlessly through the metal obstacles. Kage leaped off of the walkway, barely dodging the attack in his horrid condition. The entire structure of the basement shook violently as Draco's attack blasted through the stone and metal. Several more rumbles and quakes came as the blade shot through several floors before flying out of the building, no longer shaking it.
"Son! I will not fight you!" Kage shouted as he braced a metal beam.
"WHAT?! ARE YOU SCARED THAT YOU'LL HURT ME AGAIN?! WELL DON'T FUCKING WORRY! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WILL BROKEN-NO! SMASHED TO BITS THIS TIME!" Draco shouted as he pointed his palms to the floor behind himself and clenched his hands, cracking a large circle of flooring around himself.
Scarlet moved her hands away from her mouth as she tried to stable herself from the shaking. Suddenly, the floor cracked as Draco tore out two large chunks of stone and threw them up at Kage. Scarlet screamed as the floor gave way and she felled through the large opening that was caused from Draco's repeated attacks. A purple blur zipped across the room and caught Scarlet.
"Gen!" Scarlet exclaimed in surprise.
"What's going on?!" Gen asked as he landed at the platform below the level Draco was on.
"D-Draco suddenly went berserk", Scarlet said as she wiped away her tears.
"Who's the shiny Gallade?" Tinker asked from behind them.
"His name is Kage. He's Draco's father", Scarlet said as she turned and looked up as bits of stone and dust flew everywhere.
"What!? And Draco's fighting to kill him?" Tinker exclaimed.
"Damn, the dude got away with Arceus!" Steven said as he jogged to a stop and fell forward with his hands on his knees as he panted hard with the others.
"Don't rest yet. We've got to get the fuck out of here", Tinker said as more rumbles came, followed by loud creaking of metal from the support beams.
"What do you mean?" Saphia asked as she held Junior in her arms, shielding him from the bits of stone that rained down now and then.
"Draco's going crazy up there. The supports aren't going to hold much longer. The basement's going to cave in any moment now!" Tinker said as the walls of the large pit area they were in, began to crack.
"We need to get Robert and Draco and scram then!" Steven shouted over the booming thuds.
"I've got this!" Hades said as he came out of no where and ran up the wall and up onto the upper level.
Kage panted as blood flowed from a large gash on his forward, forcing him to keep one eye closed as his blood stung his eyes. A large purple spear of Draco's psychic energy shot up, stabbing through the beam to Kage's left. Staring down at his son, Kage watched as dense psychic energy flowed out of him in a dripping mess.
"Son, please! Just listen to me!" Kage shouted as he clenched his shoulder.
The only response he got from his son was another deafening cry, causing a mass of his energy to flow out in rippling spheres around him. Hades and Robert pushed against it to remain standing.
"Yo', Rob! We've gotta go!" Hades shouted as Draco resumed his constant barrage of attacks.
"But what about Draco!?" Robert shouted as he shielded his eyes from the debri.
"Don't worry! Just go out with the others! I'll get Draco out of here!" Hades shouted to Robert.
"Okay!" Robert shouted as he ran towards the railing and leaped over.
"Damn, this guy's going ham-!" Hades shouted to himself as he dug his claws into the floor, bracing himself for another wave of energy.
Squinting at Draco, Hades could see that Draco was no longer on his level, he was soaring up into the air towards Kage. Kage gritted his teeth as he jumped back and fell onto his back as Draco landed on the walkway. Hot, white breath seeped out of Draco's clenched teeth as he breathed in an out. A static buzz came from Kage's ear.
"Kage, get the hell out of there! I'm already on Latios and heading back to base! We've got enemy air reinforcements coming in from the east!" Dean shouted from his radio.
"...Roger", Kage said as he looked up at his enraged son.
Staring up at his son as he raised his fist up, he sighed as everything was lit up from a fiery light from Draco's Fire Punch he was about to use. Just as Draco punched down at Kage, Kage disappeared as he used teleport. Draco's purple glowing eyes grew wide. Hades gritted his teeth as he plugged his ears from Draco's intense shout.
"That's fucking it! We've gotta get out of here!" Hades shouted as he ran towards a beam and ran up it until he was onto the walkway, "time for a fucking nap!" Hades said as he charged straight at Draco from the front.
Hades slashed through Draco's front and reappeared behind the Gallade. Dense, solid, purple, energy dripped off his claws like sludge as Gallade slowly fell unconscious from Hades Night Slash attack.
"Sorry about this, bro, but we've gotta get the fuck out of here", Hades said as he caught Draco as he fell backwards.
Leaping down, Hades landed hard on his paws with Draco in his arms. Quickly racing across the ruined area, Hades leaped into the now empty pit-like area of the others and raced down the tunnel that lead outside. Pushing himself harder, he raced down the tunnel as chunks of the tunnel began to rain down and collapse behind Hades. With a loud shout, Hades leaped out of the tunnel and out into the sunlight, just as the entrance area collapsed, sealing anything from going in or out.
"Holy crap. Almost didn't make it", Hades said as he panted while lying on his back.
"Are you two okay?" Saphia asked.
"He's just knocked out. But damn! Whatever he was putting out of his body was hard as hell. Three of my claws are cracked, one of 'em is already chipped off and bleeding", Hades said as he looked up at his shaking paw.
"Man, to think we'd be fighting Draco's biological father out here...", Steven said as he watched as the dust cloud settled.
While the others checked to make sure that the other was okay, Robert and Scarlet looked down at Draco. His body was wore ragged from his overwhelming release of energy. The sounds of gunfire and choppers from the other side of the building could be heard as both sides met. Looking up at the building, Scarlet frowned at what she saw. In one of Draco's enraged outbursts of an attack, he had blown an entire wall of a floor above, his attack had gone through all of the floors, ruining the office section of the building.
~Time Skip: One Hour~
"I see... So that's what happened?" Elaine said as she looked out from the corner of her eye at Draco who was sitting in the helicopter, just hanging his legs off the side.
"Yes... Though we failed to stop Dean from escaping with Arceus, Draco did manage to deal some heavy damage to the facility, even though we have taken over in the end", Robert said as he looked back at the smoking building in the background.
"You did good. With a large production line of Rare Candy X's, their supplies will be cut down a great deal along with your efforts. Several more areas have fallen into our control while you and your team handled this base", Elaine said with a nod before turning and walking towards a large camo-truck.
As Robert turned to stare at Draco, Scarlet and Saphia were walking towards him from behind.
"Do you think he'll be okay?" Scarlet asked as the three of them looked at Draco as he stared down at the grassy floor.
"I don't know. I can't imagine the way he's feeling after all that has happened today...", Robert said with a sigh.
"Think we'll be able to do any good on missions with Draco knowing we might encounter his dad on any mission we might go on next?" Hades asked as he walked towards them with Susan, who had Junior and Sora riding on her back.
"Possibly...", Robert said as a soldier came jogging over to them.
"Mister Jackson. I was ordered to give you and your team this notice for your next mission", the man said as he held a vanilla folder out to Robert.
"Thank you...", Robert said softly as he took the folder from the man, who then gave him a salute before spinning on his heels and jogging away.
"Really? Another mission after Draco just beat the crap out of his old man?" Hades said as he let out a sigh.
"So, what does it say...?" Scarlet asked while she kept her eye on Draco.
"We are to head over to Team Rockets old base that was vacated by their leader. It's been made into a weapons factory", Robert said as he read over the first document.
"Most likely more workers they kidnapped is written somewhere?" Tinker asked as she walked up behind Robert and read the documents over his shoulder.
"There might be, but I'll have to read over this some more when we get the time", Robert said as several chopper blades picked up speed for take off and several trucks drove off.
"What are you two going to do now?" Steven asked.
"Gen and I are gonna stay here and work on this place. Lil' ol' Elaine wants us to work on this place to make it of some use... Well, I'm mostly just gonna make this mine cause my old place got blown up", Tinker said.
"So you won't be coming with us?" Hades asked.
"Nooooohohohohoho. Not on your life. I only agreed to help you take this place so that I could keep it", Tinker said.
"Okay then. It was nice working with you", Robert said as he tucked the folder under his arm as several choppers took off, leaving just two.
"See ya' later. Come on Gen, gonna be one hell of a job to clean this crap up", Tinker said as she and Gen turned around and walked towards the wreck of a building.
Turning towards the last two choppers, Scarlet, Susan, Saphia, Junior, Hades, and Robert got onto the helicopter that Draco was sitting on. The others got onto the second, that took off first. As they all sat down, Draco looked up at the sky, just staring up at the emptiness of the blue sky. Loud whipping noises of the chopper blades grew louder as they readied to take off. Minutes into their flight, Susan realized something.
"Oh my, we forgot about the truck", Susan said as she looked out the open side door of the helicopter.
Before anyone said anything else, Hades got up from the hard cushion of a bench and walked towards the open door, holding onto one of the handles above the door.
"I'll go get it. Rob, toss me a phone, radio, or whatever", Hades said as he looked over his shoulder at Robert.
"Here, take my phone", Robert said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and tossed it at the Zoroark who caught it over his shoulder.
"Hon, make it back safe, okay?" Susan said.
"Don't worry, I will", Hades said as he leaped out of the helicopter without saying another word.
"Am I the only one finding it odd that he volunteered to go without any of us asking who was going to go get it?" Scarlet asked out loud.
"Not sure", Susan said as she turned to Draco, who was still sitting at the edge of the opening, his legs hanging out of the opening.
"Draco, are you going to be okay?" Scarlet asked.
"... Fine... just... fine...". Draco said.
His life practically bled with those words. His mind was worn down from his psychic energy outbreak that was brought up from meeting his father. Memories of his past flowed to him in waves, one after the other, they all continued to claw at the insides of his mind. Draco stared down at the forest, watching as they flew quickly over them.
Somewhere below in the forest, Kage was staring up at the helicopter as it slowly disappeared from sight. Though he was slowly losing sight of the chopper, Kage could still feel the unfamiliar mind of his own son. Pressing his side against the length of a tree, he heaved out a sigh as he slowly slumped to his feet. Scrapes of his coat hung themselves onto the hooks of bark. The rest of his clothes were already gone from the constant barrages of attacks he took from his son. Hand twitching, he strained to reach his hand up to his chest pocket of his jacket and reached underneath the battered flap of clothe and pulled out a small red shard.
"Son... Sprout... I'm sorry", Kage said as he pressed the red shard against his temple.
Kage cried as all of his locked away memories came back to him. The memories of happiness he had, the memories he had of what he had done to his son after he lost his first fight... the memory of him breaking his own sons might. The trauma he put him through after breaking his gem into pieces and leaving him to die alone in their homeland. Placing the shard back into his pocket, he suddenly lurched forward and vomited up a great amount of blood. Panting, he leaned back against the tree. Quickly reaching inside his coat, he felt for something and quickly pulled out a plastic bag of sorts and removed two vanilla colored spheres that were the size of berries. Bringing them to his mouth, he quickly thought it over and lowered his hand.
"No... I can't eat them... They'll ruin my mind...", he said as he coughed up another spot of blood onto himself.
"... But if I don't heal myself... I can't talk to him... again...", he said as he started to wheeze.
Gritting his teeth, he shook his head violently. Opening his mouth, he shoved the Rare Candy X into his mouth and shattered the ball. Crunching down the bits, he swallowed them and sighed. Tensing up, his eyes shot open as energy flowed through his body. His bones vibrated as they slowly began to mend themselves, rocking his body with intense pain. Minutes past and Kage finally stopped. Opening his eyes, his vision was a faint blur now. Shaking his head a little, he used Teleport to go back to their main base.
"Finally, you're back... You look like shit dude", Holguin said as he turned around and looked down at Draco as he laid flat on his stomach in the dark room.
"I... need m-more...", Kage said as he chomped down on his second Candy.
"Damn man... You know that stuff will fuck up your kinds mind", Holguin scoffed as he took out baggy from his pocket, it was filled with vanilla colored powder.
"I need to see him again... I can't die yet...", Kage said as he spat blood onto the floor.
"Here, take this. It's a prototype, it's stronger... Take it if you want, it's got hell of a lot stronger side effects of the one you're eating now...", Holguin said as he tossed it at Kage, the bag plopped down onto the ground.
Snatching the bag up, he tore it open and poured the powdery drug into his mouth. Holguin stared darkly at Kage as he screamed in pain. Clawing at the ground, it cracked from his strength as his wounds sealed themselves.
"I don't know who you're talking about to meet, but you're not gonna be able to do that now...", Holguin said as Kage's blue colors slowly turned gray.
Slowly opening his eyes, nothing remained but the whites of his eyes. His mind, his reason, all were pushed out by the drug. His wanting of talking to his son were now gone.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest, Hades was walking out of a crater, dialing a number into the phone he got from Robert. Sniffing at the air, he confirmed that he wasn't being followed and that there weren't anyone else in the area but himself. Looking around, he sniffed some more and picked up the scent of the truck. As we went to walk towards the truck, the line clicked in his ear as the phone connceted.
"Hey, you and the girls free?" Hades asked to the phone as he walked towards the truck.
"My, my. First you call me in forever, and that's the first thing you ask of me?" A female voice replied.
"Sorry, about that babe, but I'm going to need some assistance with a mission", Hades said.
"Fine. Where do you need us?" The voice asked.
"Let's see, if I remember correctly...", Hades whispered the last of his sentence.
"Hmm, sounds dangerous. You've been getting yourself into some tight situations, haven't you sweetheart?" The female voice giggled.
"Oh? Is vhat ol' Hades?" Another voice asked with an accent.
"*Giggle* Yes it is. Get Mona, we're going to have a little fun soon", the female voice said as the line clicked close.
Sighing, he lowered the phone as he reached the truck.
"Damn, wish I didn't have to ask for her help... But Draco's gonna prove to be a problem...", Hades said as he leaned against the transparent truck.
Here's Chapter 36 :D Sorry if I made it a little too... idk the word for it, at Draco's outburst scene. Kage, what the hell are you doing? You're gonna lose your chance to talk to Draco D: I wonder what Kage wanted to say to him :3. Find out in the later chapters! :D
