"Are we there yet?" Junior asked Robert as he looked up at him.
"No, just a few more minutes", Robert said as he kept his eye on the road.
"Since when did they have a base in Unova?" Steven asked from the back seat.
"Since when did you have to come along?" Scarlet asked.
"... Yeah, why am I here?" Steven asked.
"Didn't you say you wanted to come along?" Robert asked.
"... I don't even remember...", Steven said.
"Well, it doesn't matter, we're already in Unova and it's too late to make any second decisions about that now", Robert said as the black car they were following made a turn, and followed it.
"Draco, how are you feeling?" Saphia asked as Junior crawled over the arm rest and onto his mothers lap.
"Somewhat fine... My mind is sort of clearing itself right now. I'll be able to hold my mind by tomorrow morning...", Draco said as he leaned against the cold glass of the door window.
"Too bad those two stayed behind", Steven said as he propped one leg over the other at the slightly more roomy back seat, now that the two canines weren't with them.
"Hey, Bubby. Did they ever tell you why they didn't want to come along?" Scarlet asked, leaning forward between Saphia and Robert's sseat.
"Hades whispered something to Susan, she seemed kind of mad at first. Guess they stayed behind to have a little more private talk without us there", Robert said as the two black cars and Robert pulled up to the streetlight lit curb in front of a towering black building.
As they got out of their cars, Robert looked up and down the building in front of them. Something seemed to be off about it. Every time he had come here for meetings when he was playing the role of a spokesperson for his movement on pokemon rights, the place was always busy, even at night. And there were always two guards in the front. Not to mention that the lights in the lobby were off. Something was really off.
"Pops... Did Elaine say when communication with Giovanni was ….blocked?" Draco asked as he glared up at the building.
"No, why?" Robert said, earning the gazes of the agents from the two cars around them and the others.
"We've got company...", Draco said as he raised his arms up to his face and then swung downwards.
Metal clinking sounds rang from Draco's arms as his Psycho Cut attack scraped the sidewalk. Suddenly, the third to last floor from the top suddenly exploded. Shards of glass and bits of framework for the windows flew outwards, raining down towards them. Raising his swords up to the sky, Draco formed a large barrier around them. The glass shards bounced and shattered on it harmlessly. Suddenly, a large metal pole impaled the front most black car the agents rode in.
"Saphia, take Junior and Sora away from here! Steven, Scarl-", Robert was cut off as a dark figure leaped out of the top floor and stomped down on the top of the barrier.
"Holy shit that's a big ass Golem!" Steven exclaimed as the Golem tucked it's arms and legs in and began to spin on top of Draco's barrier.
Complying to Robert's command, Saphia snatched up the two younglings and dashed away, just as Draco dropped the barrier. Falling down towards Draco, the Gallade stabbed one sword into the rotating sphere, cutting itself into ribbons. Seeing Robert and Scarlet rush into the main lobby, Draco threw the lifeless hunk of flesh and stone to the side and bound towards the entrance as well. Stopping in his tracks, Draco turned around as the screams of an agent behind him came as the suited man was crushed by a Rhyperior.
"You guys go in with Robert and Scarlet. Back them up! I'll handle this guy", Draco said as he parted his arms to his sides, a purple aura emitted from his palms.
"Y-Yes sir!" One agent said as they all drew their handguns and went in after the two.
Suddenly, a Blaziken, several Houndoom's, a Bisharp, and a Alakazam floated down from the sky. All clocked in the Alazakam's psychic power. Draco noticed a briefcase in the Bisharps arms. Extending his arm outwards, Draco grabbed the Bisharp with his Psychic. Draco raised a brow as a felt a telepathic voice and psychic grip grab hold of his energy and his mind.
"Little one. Do not think that you have the power to fight me", the Alakazam thought to Draco.
"Don't think that you're at MY level", Draco said as he reached into the Alakazam's mind with his Psychic.
"W-what are you-RAAAAH!" The Alakazam roared in pain through Draco's mind and with his own mouth as Draco crushed the Alakazam's skull.
"I'm not in the mood to piss around... Hand over whatever that is and I'll only send you to the pokemon center with permanent injuries...", Draco said as the Alazakam collapsed in front of them all.
The Houndoom's growled and snarled as they readied to pounce at Draco. Sighing as the Blaziken charged at him. His fist turned white as he used Ice Punch, striking the fire type dead center on his chest. A large ice spike shot out from the Blaziken's back. The Rhyperior's roar shook the ground slightly, but the ground shook even more when it charged at Draco. Draco stared at the charging pokemon with bored and serious eyes. Swinging his arm with blinding speed, the rear black car shot straight at the back of the Rhyperior. The large pokemon roared as it was sent through the wall of the building and into a room as it was sent flying through several feet of hard material.
"Well... Are you going to fight or not?" Draco asked.
The Houndoom's and the lone Bisharp all gulped at the sound and feeling of Draco's murderous intent. Draco was really angry, his mind still hadn't gotten over the intense rage he felt not too long ago, and was already ready to unleash it on his weak foes. Suddenly, an unbelievable psychic presence appeared up in the sky. A purple sphere was falling towards the ground. Draco used Protect as the sphere sent chunks of the sidewalk everywhere. As several Houndoom's laid dead or twitching on the floor, the purple sphere disappeared and there stood Mewtwo in the crater he had made.
"Return her to me, now!" Mewtwo shouted telepathically to everyone.
"Return to base!" The Bisharp exclaimed as he made a mad dash the opposite direction of the Mewtwo and Draco.
Mewtwo and Draco both raised their arms up at the Bisharp and pulled back hard on the fleeing Bisharp, ignoring the other fleeing pokemon. Pulling him through the air, Mewtwo caught the Bisharp by its neck and snapped it with a single motion of his hand. The briefcase dropped hard onto the ground as it slipped out of the grip of the now lifeless pokemon in the Mewtwo's hand. As the fleeing fire and dark type canines fled the scene, Mewtwo groaned and dropped to one knee, planting his hands down at either sides of the briefcase as he panted.
"Are you okay?" Draco asked, placing his hand on the legendary's shoulder.
"I am fine... But please, see if she is alright", Mewtwo asked of Draco as he looked down at the briefcase.
Kneeling down, Draco clicked the briefcase open and found a black Pokeball. Hearing Mewtwo growl angrily, Draco moved out of the way as Mewtwo thrust his hand at the Pokeball. Clenching it hard, Mewtwo shattering the Pokeball, releasing a light blue jagged beam of light from the Pokeball. The light took the form of Mew as it was set free from its prison.
"Mew... are you unharmed?" Mewtwo asked as he looked up at the floating pink cat.
"Yes. But you're hurt badly!" Mew spoke in a telepathic voice, her voice rang like tiny bells.
"What happened here?" Draco asked as the space around them grew silent, save for the ruckus of the lingering enemy pokemon and men up at the top floors.
"Giovanni's son had sent some of his men and pokemon to capture Mew. They managed to fend me off long enough to capture Mew. I was close to becoming captured myself, but I managed to free myself", Mewtwo said as Mew touched the top of his head with her tiny little paws.
Light emitted from her paws as she used Healing Burst on Mewtwo, slowly healing his wounds. Looking up at the smoking opening in the building, Draco felt the minds of the people inside the building. Robert, Scarlet, the agents, some pokemon, but no other minds that he recognized. Sighing a sigh of slight relief and annoyance at the fact that Kage wasn't here, he looked down at the two.
"Why were communications between Agent Elaine and Giovanni blocked a while ago?" Draco asked.
"This fight in this building has been going on for several days. The area were blocked off by the troops of the son of Giovanni. Though I felt the presence of those troops disappear as you and your friends arrived here. Stranger, who are you?" Mewtwo asked.
"The name's Draco. I came here with my family and a friend on orders from Elaine to come see why communications were blocked off", Draco said.
"I see. You've come to retrieve the annual report Giovanni sends to Elaine. But I am afraid that such report will not be provided, as Giovanni has been killed not too long ago", Mewtwo said as he shook his head.
"How did they manage to stop a powerful legendary like you anyways?" Draco asked.
"They had a powerful ground and rock type pokemon with strange attributes in its form. It was incredibly strong and did not fall after all I've attacked it with... I am ashamed to have lost to a single opponent...", Mewtwo said as he looked down with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, chunks of walling and office furniture flew about in the room inside the first floor area as the Rhyperior flung everything up into the air as it stood up.
"Huh, guess I only knocked it out for a while", Draco said as he faced the Drugged pokemon.
"I do not have the strength to fight yet...", Mewtwo said as he gritted his teeth.
"What do we do?!" Mew squeaked as she continued to heal Mewtwo whilst panicking.
"I'll handle him", Draco said as the Rhyperior roared as it lifted up the car Draco and hit him with.
A vein bulged on Draco's forehead as he pointed his open palm at the car as it came flying out of the hole in the wall. Clenching his hand into a fist, the car flattened into a metal spike. Opening his hand again, the spike shot into the belly of the Rhyperior, piercing through its hard hide like armor. Draco raised a brow at the impaled pokemon as it wobbled on its feet, still alive. The Rhyperior roared angrily as it charged through the wall, sending chunks of stone everywhere as it charged at Draco. Suddenly, it stopped as Draco held onto his head and torso with his Psychic energy. Twitching his fingers, Draco pressurized the Rhyperior's head. It roared in pain as Draco crushed his skull. Mew and Mewtwo watched in horror as Draco crushed more and more of his skull before suddenly sinking his entire crushed head into its own torso. Falling onto its back lifelessly, the massive body kicked up a large cloud of dust.
"... This is going to be one hell of a clean up", Draco said as he sighed out some of his built up tension.
"Was it necessary to do such a thing to him?" Mewtwo asked, wrapping an arm around the pink pokemon as she buried her face into his chest, shaking at what she just saw.
"He got what he deserved... can you handle yourself for now?" Draco asked, earning a nod, "good. I'm going to help my family now. If a Lucario comes by, you can trust her. She's family", Draco said as he ran into the lobby, leaving the two psychic legionaries outside, horrified and stunned at his actions towards his enemies.
Inside the building, Robert and Scarlet were one floor below the one that had exploded. Surprisingly enough, the two had encountered no enemies, only the bodies of the ones that were killed. As Robert and Scarlet climbed the stairs to the floor of the explosion, Robert motioned for Scarlet to stop. Stopping where they were, Robert listened for anything inside. All he could hear was the sound of fire crackling. Suddenly, Draco came walking up the stairs, climbing the stairs noisily.
"There's only one person alive in there", Draco said as his eyes glowed purple.
"Is it a friendly, or the enemy?" Robert asked as he pulled out a gun he picked up from a body.
"Friendly", Draco said as his eyes returned to normal.
Pushing open the door, Draco and Scarlet followed Robert into the completely wrecked room. Black ash and rumble littered the entirety of the room, as well as scorched, slashed up, and crushed bodies laid around. A desk laid on its front, flames slowly died down. Behind it was a large painted picture of a mountain view, and beneath the picture was Giovanni, several metal poles sticking out of his chest as he laid there, dead. Scarlet grimaced at the sight.
"Guess we know why communications were blocked off...", Robert said looked at the dead body.
"It wasn't because of that. The New Team Rocket had some guys in the radio room, they broke them down", Steven said as he pushed the stairway door open, only to have it fall off its hinges.
"Draco, didn't you say there was one person alive?" Robert asked.
"Yeah...", Draco said as he scanned the area again, "it's dead now. It died just a little while after we came in...", Draco said as his eyes returned to normal.
"Sir, what do we do now?" An agent asked from the doorless entrance.
"Report this to Elaine. Have someone handle this. We'll be going back to the base now", Robert said as he tossed the gun into the fire on the desk.
"Yes Sir", the agent said as he pulled out his radio.
~At the Base~
"Yes?" Elaine said as she answered her radio.
"Elaine, the Team Rocket base in Unova has been attacked, Giovanni is dead. The enemy had attempted to capture Mew and Mewtwo, but failed with the help of Draco", the agent said into the radio as Robert was handed the radio.
"We'll be heading back to the base. I'll leave the clean up to you guys", Robert said.
"Understood. Once you return, there will be a follow up mission that I will be having you help Hades and Susan with. They are currently moving towards the objective as we speak", Elaine said.
"Where are they headed to?" Robert asked.
"They will be attacking a smaller depot. It's main purpose to the enemy is a storage of sorts, though we don't know what's stored in there, it is giving off strange energy readings. Also, Johto has taken another great hit from us, we now control nearly 60% of the region now", Elaine said.
"Great. We'll head back as soon as... Hmmm? Okay. Elaine, Draco has informed me that my truck and the two agent cars got caught up in the fighting, expect us to be there sometime near dawn", Robert said.
"Understood. I will have someone in Unova pick up you all and bring you to the take off zone. See you then", Elaine said before she clicked off the radio.
Sighing, Elaine leaned against the back of the desk in the office and took off her sunglasses. Slipping one of the black arms of her sunglasses into the opening of her white suit shirt, she ran her hand through her hair as she looked up at the ceiling. Shutting her eyes, she rubbed her cheek with her hand, feeling the scar on her cheek that she had concealed with make up. Hearing footsteps approaching the office, she removed her hand from her cheek and quickly snatched up her sunglasses and flicked the arms of the glasses open. Just as an agent came into the room, Elaine had already put her sunglasses back on.
"Ma'am, Hades and Susan reported through their coms saying that they will arrive at the base at around an hour after dawn", the agent said.
"Understood. Robert and the others will meet with them shortly after Hades and Susan arrive at the location", Elaine said as the agent nodded before leaving the office, closing the door behind him.
~Somewhere In The Forest~
Hades and Susan panted silently as they dashed through the darkness of the forest. Zipping by trees as they appeared to be a blur to them at their speed. Susan was slightly faster than Hades, thanks to her Extreme Speed. With him lagging behind, he had one claw pressed on the com as he spoke into it.
"We'll make it there a little later after dawn", Hades said, being heard by Susan.
"That's a shame, my love. I would have hoped you would be here sooner. Me and the girls have already had some fun~", the female voice cooed as a scream and then silence came from the background of the other receiver.
"*Chuckle* Just try and save some fun for me when we get there", Hades said with a smile.
"Oh, I'll be sure to leave you some, but Tia might not *giggle* She's so excited to see you that she's been having some fun with these weak pokemon here", the voice said as a tiny, squeaky voice in the background laughed and giggled as screams rang along with them.
"Can't wait to see you girls as well. I'll catch up with you gals later, bye", Hades said as he clicked the com, closing the call.
"...What?" Hades said as he looked up ahead, spotting Susan's face looking back forward.
"Nothing", Susan answered immediately.
"Oh come on, don't tell me you're jealous? You know I'm not gonna leave you", Hades said.
Susan suddenly sped up, starting to leave Hades behind.
"H-hey! Hon! Come on!" Hades said as he called out after Susan as he tried to catch up.
Looks like Hades has gotten himself into some sort of mess :P Or not... -shrugs- Well, hope you guys liked this chapter :D Just so you guys know, there will be a big time skip after they finish with this base. I originally planned to write out several base raids for them, but that would take too long, so I have decided to speed things up a bit. That about covers the updates. Now, back to character thing-a-bobs, I wonder why Elaine has a scar on her cheek too? Hmmm? Hmmm? Find out soon!... or later, whichever comes first!
