Well here we are once again ladies and gentleman! Now I'll keep this brief and just explain what's going to be happening here. The next few chapters will have a bit more drama and build up for the ball and the final battle. Expect a lot of characterization and explanation. I will also try to get some romance added to the story, (since I have been lacking heavily in that department), but don't hold your breath. I would expect that more during the ball than the next few chapters. Anyway, enough drabble, let's get to reading!

-EVAN AAML

Angel walked down the halls of the base, avoiding, (although barely), bumping into people passing by. The rebels and scientists whom she almost walked into avoided her; looking at her with annoyance, and some curiosity. She did see them, but her mind was else where. She had been sent on a mission, though the word "mission" did not properly fit what she was working on. It was more like errands, if that. Angel felt like she was demoted, brought from a fighter to a mere messenger.

She had learned a lot since joining the PTA, in terms of fighting, planning, battling, and all around survival. She had found her own ways of doing things, found the courage to face Team Rocket, and put these new lessons to the test on New Island. She had barely made it out alive. Angel was now feeling hurt, feeling like she was unable to do what she had hoped, or anticipated, she would for the PTA. Her confidence was shot, she had caused more trouble for her new friends than aid. Although people like Aleksi would constantly try to bring her up, boost her confidence, it was all in vain.

As a child, she never had a problem with self confidence, for she never had a need to do as much. Her days consisted of living life. The most responsibility she was given came from helping her father work the berry farm, which she did very well. Despite living in a Team Rocket world, she never had to worry about much. Her parents had always protected her, shielded her from what was going on in the world. Then just like that, she was trusted into the real world, came to realize just how bad things were. Joining the PTA was the best decision for her, in more ways than just saving her parents. But now she was beginning to question whether she was ready, or for that matter, if she would ever be ready. Many people she had talked to had made good points, children should never have to be put into the position she was in currently. But that didn't change the fact that she was in it, and like it or not she had to adapt.

Her train of thought was taken off of her self esteem as she suddenly found herself into the chest of someone walking by. Her heart jumped from the light collision, she had been looking down the entire time and did not see anyone in her path. She immediately looked up but could only see arms wrapping around her body. She panicked; despite the fact that she was protected in the underground base she still felt the immediate sensation of danger. The sound of laughter however soon caused her to relax, although her heart was still racing.

"Woah, someone seems to be a bit distracted, are you alright Angel?", the "attacker" asked. Angel finally managed to get a look at the person she had walked into and met the eyes of Riles. She smiled back, immediately hiding her previous conversation with herself.

"Hey, sorry Riles, just lost in thought is all", Angel stated. Riles nodded.

"I noticed. Good thing I caught you as you walked into me", Riles said, noting how he was currently in a hug position with Angel. He immediately released her and looked into her eyes. "What are you thinking about? Is it something you want to talk about?". Angel debated with herself briefly, wondering if she should in fact tell Riles of her lack of confidence. However, she soon disregarded the notion. There was no point in bringing up a topic where she knew what she would hear.

"No, it's nothing. What are you doing?", Angel asked, changing the topic. Riles quickly dropped the conversation, deciding that it was nothing Angel was concerned with.

"Not much. I heard that a meeting was going on, but only a few people were told to attend. So I guess I'm just resting and preparing for whatever god has in store for us", Riles answered. Riles had been in relatively good shape after the New Island battle, one of the few in fact. Whether it was divine intervention or just dumb luck Angel wasn't sure, but she was thankful that people she became close with were alright.

"Me too. Ash had me go and run some errands for him", Angel explained. Riles nodded.

"I think that's good. We need things to do to keep us active, but safe things at that", Riles stated. Angel shrugged.

"I guess...would you like to come with me and help? Ash told me to get some people to help me, even giving me a "commanding position" in the process", Angel said. Riles chuckled a bit and took a slight bow while tipping his hat.

"Well then, I would be honored to come along", Riles said. Angel smiled.

"Good. We should go and find some others to join us", Angel said. Riles nodded.

"I know of a few people not doing anything, we should go get them", Riles said. Angel nodded with a smile.

"Sounds good to me!", Angel said. As the two rebels began their search for the others, Ash and Aleksi were finally reaching the meeting. The meeting was being held in the same room where the New Island attack meeting was being held. Aleksi was not certain as to who would be at this meeting, but knew that it didn't matter, the discussions would be the same. This was to be the most important meeting the PTA had ever had, and possibly the most important meeting period. The fate of the entire world rested in their hands.

No pressure.

Aleksi looked down on the ground, in deep thought. Ash, who was walking alongside her, glanced over and saw the distracted girl.

"You alright Aleksi?", Ash asked. Aleksi snapped out of her trance and looked up to Ash.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just...distracted", Aleksi said. Ash nodded in understanding.

"I know what you mean. The last few days have been...something", Ash said. Aleksi nodded.

"Exactly. I mean...this meeting could very well decide the future. Not just of us, not even just of Kanto, but the entire world", Aleksi said.

"Which is why we need to make sure we have everything right", Ash said.

"Right...but...do you think we're ready?", Aleksi asked. Ash looked at her. "We've been preparing for this since the PTA was started, we've done everything we could to make sure we could make an attack on Veridian...but New Island was hell. We've lost so many people, so much time and effort was put into the attack. And if we have to attack Veridian this quickly...do you think we're ready?". Ash sighed.

"It doesn't make a difference if we're ready or not. That's the severe downside to this whole thing. We'll never get an opportunity like this again. Taking New Island down was a one and only time deal. Team Rocket is now much more aware of the PTA and our actions, more so than they already were. Once they rebuild that array, it'll be stronger, more heavily protected, and we'll never get to stop it again. If we don't attack them soon, then everything we've done will have been for nothing, and we'll probably never get a chance to bring them down", Ash said.

"Yeah, you're right...which is what's making me even more worried", Aleksi admitted. Aleksi then looked up and saw that they had made it to their destination. She stopped in front of the doors and hesitated opening them. Ash could see her hesitation.

"You ready?", Ash asked, putting a hand on her shoulder for support. Aleksi sighed.

"Ready as I'll ever be", Aleksi responded. She then brought her hands forward and grabbed both door handles. With one pull, she swung both doors wide open and looked into the room. Sitting around the long table were all of the region leaders. Misty, Brock, Tracy, May, Drew, and Dawn. Also at the table was Gary and Max, as was expected. A few other rebels were also at this meeting, which shocked Aleksi, albeit slightly. These included Evan, Nick, Sawyer, Brian, Darrel, Catie, and Emily. Aleksi stepped into the dimly lit room, with Ash right behind her. Aleksi walked around the table and sat at a seat presumably left open for her, beside Evan and May. Ash meanwhile stood at the head of the table right by the door as the doors slowly closed on their own. Ash looked over the table and the faces looking at him.

The table was completely covered with materials. Much more so than it was for New Island. Maps, files, Pokeballs, information, a few weapons, and much more were scattered around the table. Ash then looked at his friends at the table. Many of them looked battered and bruised from fighting. Brock's arm was still in a sling, although it was looking better from Prof. Oak's miracle medicine. May's bandages were almost entirely hidden, but it was clear that her injuries had not healed as well as Brock's. Prof. Oak's medicine wouldn't work for a hole in the chest. Aleksi's arm was not bandaged, although it should of been. It was clearly healing, but not covering it up was risking it. Sawyer seemed to be alright after the surgery, but Ash knew that she had to take it easy for awhile. Everyone else was alright, but clearly they were still tired and worn from the battle. Ash then looked over and saw Catie with the others. He looked at her with a confused expression.

"Where's Wallace?", Ash asked.

"He said he was busy helping the others get better, so he sent me in his place", Catie stated. Ash sighed, he figured Wallace would try to skip out on a meeting, but at least it was for a good reason.

"Alright, not a problem. Now that we're all here, we can begin. With New Island behind us, we can now focus on the main goal, taking down Giovanni. We've tried to get surveillance in on the area, but that's practically impossible. In all honesty it's going to be hard merely to get into the base, let alone the attack itself. Max?", Ash said. Max nodded and stood up from his seat. He leaned forward and grabbed a file on the table. He opened it up and pulled out several papers, which he tossed onto the table. Several rebels grabbed the paper and looked at it.

"It's impossible to get eyes on the inside of the base, we've tried double agents but it always got too risky for them before we could find out anything, they have very strict methods in teaching their new Rockets and it's made that way to make sure there is no one against them. However, since we have Ryoto we can get a basic idea of how the base is designed", Max said.

"Ryoto's still recovering, the surgery he had was extensive. He'll make it out of it, but it's going to be some time", Catie explained. Ash sighed.

"So then we can't get a good lay out of the building until he's recovered, we don't have that kind of time on our hands", Ash said.

"I think I can help with that", Emily said. Everyone looked at her, most with confusion. Ash looked up to her.

"You know how the base looks from the inside? How?", Ash asked. Emily immediately seemed hesitant at first. She had asked Angel and Dawn to keep the fact that she was a Rocket baby a secret, and thus far they had. She knew that it wasn't quite time yet to reveal the truth, but then what should she say? She looked over to Dawn, who was aware of the situation. She gave a slight nod to her, Emily nodded back.

"Well, from the communications. Sometimes I picked up conversations about the building, for construction or newbies getting lost", Emily explained. Everyone seemed to buy into this little lie, and were glad that they had some information they could use at the moment. Emily reached over and grabbed some papers. She then began to draw out, (from her memory) a lay out of the facility. The majority of the base she didn't remember, or was not allowed to see, so it was shaky at best, but she did what she could.

"I don't know a lot about the way the base is, but I do know that it consists of a lot of floors. As we all know, it's three stories above ground, but there's also a lot of underground levels. These are filled with levels for research, communications, weaponry, training, barracks, and plenty of other things I can't even begin to list. I also know, that Giovanni's office is on the third floor, at the back of the building. From the conversations, it appears that his room is pretty large and even has large windows, so that he can "oversee his land"", Emily explained. The others seemed somewhat shocked and even excited.

"Really? That's surprising, but also perfect. Give me one shot and I'll take out Giovanni", Evan said with confidence. Gary shook his head.

"Not likely", Gary said. Evan looked to him confused and somewhat insulted. Did Gary doubt he could do it? Drew spoke next.

"There's no way that Giovanni would put his life in danger that easily. I'm sure that the windows are bullet proof, and there's probably loads of security outside, both human and Pokemon. A sniper wouldn't be able to take him out", Drew explained.

"Right, but a sniper could add support to the sides", Emily said. The others looked at her. "Giovanni's windows might be bullet proof, but I know the rest aren't. In fact, the second and third floors are filled with windows. I guess it was purposely designed that way, so that people would see them and not grow suspicious, or become scared. The upper three levels look more like offices than anything".

Everyone knew what kind of an organization Team Rocket really was, but that didn't stop them from trying to come off as nice. They would always have commercials, radio ads, movies and shows to talk about Team Rocket and their organization, how they were "for the greater good". Surprisingly, a lot of people bought into this. People were so naive.

"So then Evan, you can be stationed outside and give cover fire for the upper levels. We'll need it since we're going to go after Giovanni", Ash decided. Evan nodded.

"Roger that. Sucks, I was hoping I'd be more part of the action this time", Evan said slightly annoyed. But he was glad that his skills were being used for better use this time.

"Don't worry, you'll get plenty of action from sniping. The area is practically crawling with Rockets. Grunts and higher ranked Rockets are all over the place. And that's not mentioning the number inside, that will probably run into your line of sight when they realize we're there", Emily said. Max then pulled out a map of the area. He opened it and looked at some points around the base.

"There's several small hills surrounding the base, you could lay hidden on anyone of them for awhile", Max said.

"Sounds good to me", Evan said. He then looked over to Aleksi with a smirk. "I'll be sure to keep you protected". Aleksi smiled sincerely.

"Unfortunately, there isn't much more I could tell you", Emily stated. Ash nodded.

"Well thank you Emily, you helped us a lot just now. We'll have to wait for Ryoto to recover before we go over more plans for the lay outs of the base. Now, as for those who are able to participate", Ash started. He then sighed heavily. He leaned forward and held his head with his hand. He was thinking something through, something that he was much more used to doing now a days. However what seemed to get the rebels on edge was not that he was thinking, but that he seemed distraught by it. "...I...went through the new KIA files yesterday. Made checks of who came home from the battle, and who didn't". Everyone in the room remained solemn. Evan immediately glanced over to Nick and Sawyer, who were on the other side of him. This was exactly what they had discussed about earlier at breakfast.

"How many did we lose?...", Misty asked. Ash looked down at the table, as if trying to count. Though they knew he was past that.

"I lost count honestly. Last I remember before losing track it was roughly...seventy", Ash said. The others were all in shock, sadness, and disbelief. Although seventy did not sound like a lot with the consideration of how many Rockets were killed, and how many PTA rebels there were world wide, it was still a heavy blow. This was by far the heaviest loss the PTA had ever suffered, and it all happened within a matter of hours.

"Had we gone with our original plan of thirty", May said, she did not need to finish, but Ash did the honors regardless.

"We wouldn't so much as reached the island", Ash finished.

"And so many of those who returned were injured", Brock said. Catie nodded.

"Roughly three fourths of every rebel who returned had some kind of minor injury, about one third of them severe or critical", Catie stated.

"Which means that we don't have a choice but to wait a little while before we attack", Ash said.

"Are you sure we can risk that? I know we need the rest, but if we wait too long, then Team Rocket can regain position", Brian said.

"The array was destroyed yesterday. Team Rocket would of by now reached the island and assessed the damage. We've seen this happen before. Whenever a Rocket base or post was destroyed or damaged by a attack, they would send in groups immediately. Shut down the entire area, and immediately begin construction. Something this big and important would surely get worked on immediately. With the money, equipment, and workers they have, I wouldn't be surprised if they got the array back up within two months. And our counter attack will take some time to plan and prepare for, so half that amount of time, and that's our time frame", Ash explained.

"A month? How could we get this done within a month!", Dawn asked.

"I don't know", Ash responded. The others all sighed. As much as they hated the news, they knew it was true. Most of them were still tired and weak from the battle yesterday. Some nearly fell asleep in the warm, dimly lit room they were currently in. But they knew that now wasn't the time for it. Ash was right, if they wanted peace, they would have to get to work, there would be plenty of time for sleep when there was peace. Immediately, the rebels and region leaders began to look through papers and files, trying to think of strategies. Brock turned and looked to Ash while this was happening.

"Well, let's get as much done now then as possible", Brock said. Ash looked at him and then nodded.

"Agreed", Ash replied. During this, Angel and Riles were beginning their walk to the basement of the base. They had walked around looking for rebels willing to help them. However, the ones who weren't busy or still recovering simply didn't feel like helping out. Angel and Riles were disheartened, but it didn't matter. They would go on themselves. They walked down the halls of the base, trying to find the stairs that Angel had gone down before.

"This base is so big that I still get lost in it", Riles said, looking around the hall and trying to find anything that looked remotely familiar. The base, being underground and formally a barely used extra lab for Prof. Oak, did not have signs or maps dictating the locations of rooms or areas. People merely had to learn the way around the base and memorize it. This came in handy if Rockets ever invaded, but that was not bound to happen, and otherwise it proved to only get rebels lost.

"I haven't been here very long, but I already know that this area is new to me", Angel stated. The two of them sighed heavily. The medical center was a bit away from the main section of the base. The section with the kitchen, bedrooms, main entrance, and computer labs; which Angel had just began to memorize. Had she gone immediately from Aleksi's room to her task at hand she would of found her way no problem. But looking for the others got them lost. Angel knew that she would eventually either find her way around or get directions, but the sooner she could get her "important" mission done the better. The two stopped walking and looked around a bit more. They were still in the medical center, although this was a different part of it.

"Ok, let's just get a understanding of where we are", Riles said. He turned around, saw a chair positioned right against a wall, and sat on it. The soft cushion gave him support and he smiled. Angel remained standing where she stopped.

"We're still in the medical center, but I don't know where exactly", Angel said. She sighed again. "Figures, I get stuck with a small little postal service job and I can't even do that right. I screw up everything". Riles looked up to see the distraught and saddened girl. He shook his head at her.

"Now now, there's no need to belittle yourself like that", Riles said. Angel turned and looked at him.

"But it's true. I mean, we're lost in our own base, that's kind of embarrassing", Angel said. Riles sweatdropped with a chuckle. He had to agree with that.

"Ok, sure, it's a little silly. But that doesn't mean that you're a screw up Angel", Riles replied. Angel walked over and sat in the chair that was right beside Riles' and pouted.

"I think it's because I'm just a kid, well over my head and not prepared for any of this", Angel said. Riles shook his head. He put a hand around Angel's shoulder and smiled.

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Timothy 4:12", Riles stated. Angel couldn't help but smile. Riles always seemed to be positive about everything. The bible led him to nothing but happiness. Angel and her family had never been extremely religious in any way. They were believers, but they never followed the bible as closely as Riles or others did. Angel still felt that she shouldn't rely solely on god to help her with saving her parents, but she knew that praying couldn't hurt. Aleksi and Evan must of felt the same way, so why not?

"Thanks Riles, I appreciate it", Angel said.

"Nice little scripture there Riles", someone suddenly stated. Riles and Angel turned to their left to see Trent and Michael approaching them. Trent had bandages wrapped around his shoulder and looked pretty banged up from the fighting. But he was smiling, and holding in his hand a red fruit smoothie in a plastic cup. He sucked on the straw. The much younger and shorter Michael walked next to him, his arms crossed behind his head. He looked to be alright, since he got his sleep he desperately needed.

"Hey you two!", Angel said. She jumped up and approached the two teens.

"Hey!", Michael said, since Trent's mouth was full.

"Where are you two heading?", Riles asked, now standing up. Trent swallowed.

"Well I had breakfast, and then Michael asked me if I wanted to come and watch him train with his throwing knives a little bit before Evan's training session", Trent replied.

"Perfect, so you're heading to the basement anyways! Ash asked me to run a few errands for him and I need help, can you come along with us?", Angel asked. Michael seemed slightly annoyed that he would have to post pone his training, but was not extremely disappointed. Trent on the other hand smiled greatly.

"Sure, I'd love to help", Trent said. Angel smiled.

"Yes! Alright, lead the way please!", Angel said. Michael shrugged, knowing that he would just have to wait, and began to walk, with Angel by his side. Riles walked behind them, and beside Trent. Riles smiled and looked over to Trent.

"You seemed eager to help out", Riles stated. He wasn't complaining, just merely bringing up conversation. Trent nodded.

"Yeah. After the array was taken down and we were fleeing, I sort of felt, well, useless. I did my part earlier, but when it came to shooting and helping the others with the wounded, I just couldn't do a whole lot. So, I'm gonna try and practice a lot more, so that I'll be better prepared next time", Trent explained. Riles nodded with a smile.

"Sounds like a good idea. Actually, you're not the only one feeling that way", Riles said, somewhat quieter later on in his comment. Trent seemed curious and raised an eyebrow, taking another sip of his drink. Riles whispered and leaned in closer to Trent. "Angel has had some pretty bad self confidence issues since she left New Island". Trent sighed, understanding and saddened to hear it. Angel was busy chatting with Michael a bit ahead of them, so she could not hear them.

"Poor girl. No one her age should have to deal with that, especially given what she's been through", Trent said. Riles nodded.

"Exactly. I think we should try and help her a bit...by not helping her", Riles said. Trent seemed confused at first, but then caught on.

"Oh, I get it. Have her do all of the work for these errands, boost her confidence with a job well done", Trent said Riles nodded.

"Yes", Riles replied. Trent nodded with a smile.

"No problem", Trent said. Meanwhile, back at the meeting, things were finally beginning to stir up for plans. The group had debated, argued, and reasoned over different things; trying to figure out the best way to attack. They didn't want a repeat of New Island, they knew that it could cost too many lives, and Team Rocket would probably be aware of the strategy by then. Because they knew little of the lay out of the base, they were limited with their ideas.

"What about an aerial assault? Attack it from above and ground it to dust?", Drew suggested. Dawn shook her head.

"That wouldn't work. The array had those missile launchers on top of their roof, I'm willing to bet that they have them too, probably better ones", Dawn said. Drew nodded, recalling Tracy mentioning the missile launchers back on the New Island beach.

"Besides, we can't afford to destroy the base. We don't know where they're keeping the POVs. They're probably somewheres in the basement of the base", Aleksi stated. Ash nodded.

"She's got a point. We need to make sure that we get those prisoners out. Emily, Max, when we first found out that Milo and Angel's parents were alive, I asked you to look into it, what did you find out?", Ash asked.

"The tractor trailer was in fact heading for the main Veridian base. Our spy confirmed it. He couldn't see exactly where they went to though, the truck went into a large garage that was connected to the back of the base", Emily said. Ash nodded.

"I figured as much", Ash said.

"We've been trying to see if they moved anyone out of the base since then, but we haven't seen anything of the like...but we did see more trucks making deliveries", Max stated. Most of the rebels in the room seemed shocked and confused over it.

"They're herding them all together in the main base, how come? Are they going to use them for slave labor inside?", Evan asked.

"Not likely", Darrel said, not believing that to be the cause.

"Then what?", Aleksi asked. The region leaders however, all seemed cautious and concerned. They all looked at each other, seeing that they all had the same suspicions. The rebels all looked at them, wondering what was going on, what did they know about this?

"Ash...you don't think...", Misty said. Ash nodded, putting his fingers to his temple and rubbing it, as if he had a headache.

"I do", Ash said.

"What? What is it?", Aleksi asked. She was growing more and more concerned. She wanted to save them all, wanted to rescue all of the prisoners. Especially Angel's parents. She wanted to make sure that Angel and them were reunited. But the way the region leaders were reacting, it was giving her reason to be concerned.

"Yeah, even I don't know what you guys are worried about", Max said. It was clear that he was in the dark too. May looked at him, with concern in her eyes.

"Max...I don't think you want to know...I didn't want you to find out", May explained. Now everyone was even more concerned.

"What is it? What does it mean?", Brian asked. The older teens looked at each other, wondering if they should explain. They knew that they deserved to know, but the question was...could they handle it? Eventually, Brock sighed and looked at the rebels.

"We're...we're afraid...that they were delivered to the base, to be disposed of", Brock answered. The others all gasped, their eyes widened and their heart rates dropped.

"As region leaders, we've seen it happen", May said, her voice soft and broken; it was hard for her to even talk about the matter.

"As you know, prisoners who aren't tortured for information or publicly executed are sent to work camps. They're forced to build buildings for Team Rocket, against their will. Many people die on the sites, due to over exhaustion or dehydration. But of course, there are people who simply refuse to work, or try to create an uprising", Drew explained.

"Team Rocket doesn't want to just kill them there and then, it could cause a mass riot with the people. So they beat them down and force them, and if they still don't comply, they round them all up. They ship them to the main headquarters of the particular region", Dawn explained.

"For awhile now we knew that they did this, but because we were never able to get eyes into the bases themselves, we never knew what happened to them. This occurrence didn't happen a lot, only once or twice a year at one or two of the region headquarters. But then, one day...", Misty said. She stopped talking and began to choke up a bit. Ash noticed this and was pained himself. He put a hand on Misty's shoulder and she leaned to him. This only made the rebels more and more concerned. Ash held Misty, but looked to the others.

"One day one of our spies in Hoenn who was under orders by May to spy on the Hoenn base caught something. It was a train, a small train, that had stopped at the base. He kept an eye on it, to see what was being dropped off...except, nothing was being delivered, something was being taken away. Large metal crates were being shipped somewheres and the train was delivering them. Something like this never happens, so the spy kept a close eye on the whole thing. Well...one of the tarps covering a crate blew off for a moment..and revealed...", Ash said. Everyone looked at Ash in worry, they had a good feeling they knew what was in it.

"...bodies. Tons of them", Ash said. Aleksi's heart dropped. She knew that that was what was happening, but refused to admit to it, even to herself. The idea that Angel's parents could be killed any day and they wouldn't even know...it was too much to even think about. Angel, poor Angel. How would she react? Finding out her parents were alive, fighting Rockets and internally even herself, to try and rescue them...only to find out they were killed already. She couldn't even bare to think of it.

"We soon found out that at that same time, Team Rocket had some failures occur in the building, something about a furnace breaking down...so then we put two and two together...Team Rocket rounded up the rebellious slaves, the innocent people who Team Rocket captured and forced to work for them. They brought them to their bases, killed them all, and then burned their bodies in the same building. No evidence, no trace. We don't even know where these bodies were shipped, probably to another base with a working furnace, or simply buried in a mass grave somewheres in Hoenn", Ash explained.

Everyone looked around at each other. Max appeared like he would get sick and faint at any second, something May grew more and more concerned about. Darrel and Brian both grew angry, their fists clenching and ready to tear something to pieces. Evan was angered as well, but turned to Aleksi and Emily. Emily in turned looked to Aleksi. All three of them thought of the same thing.

"So...you're saying...if we don't attack the base soon...Angel's parents might get killed?", Aleksi asked, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Ash looked at her solemnly.

"No...there's no mightabout it...for all we know...they could already be gone", Ash said.

And that will do it for this chapter! Major developments are beginning to unfold and it could mean the life or death of many people! Will Angel be able to see her parents alive ever again? Will the PTA ever even be able to pull off an uprising? You'll have to find out! Now then, as a note, I will be going back to school on the 23rd of January, less than two weeks away. So with that in mind, please bare with me when it comes to updates. They're going to be slow...not that they weren't slow already. -_- But yes, I apologize, but college will take up a lot of my time, especially if I ever plan to transfer to my dream Environmental Science college! I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, please be sure to F.A.R., and I will see you next time on "R"!

sincerely,
