Episode 18: Terrorist Plot
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, Ashleyand Queen Venomica.
It was early Monday morning, Ashley and Hotaru had just walked out of Ashley's house. After Ashley locked the door to her house, the two began walking to the school bus stop. Despite the events of last night both girls were still friends but were closer than they had been ever before. As they were walking both Ashley and Hotaru sensed something dark as in they were being watched. This darkness didn't feel as if it belong to Cipher or Queen Venomica, this darkness felt different like in between Cipher's evilness but way, way way less than Queen Venomica's.
"Feel that Hotaru?" Ashley inquired.
"Yes" Hotaru said "I do..."
Hotaru turned her head back and was just in time to see a pitch black car following the two girls. It's windows were darkened giving Hotaru the information that whoever was driving the car wasn't into anything good. Whoever was driving that vehicle meant harm to someone. Sensing danger, Hotaru grabbed hold of Ashley's hand harder causing the blond to blush "Hotaru?"
Hotaru gave her friend a worried look "Get ready to run...We're being followed."
Hearing the uneasiness of her friend's voice told her to listen but she carefully looked back to see the same car following them. It was far away from the two girls, but it had suddenly picked up the pace driving faster towards them. Hotaru gripped Ashley's hand and the two bolted running for their lives. This caused the car to drive faster giving chase to the two girls. The two girls ran their fastest knowing that whoever was in that car wanted one or both of them! Ashley spoke worried to Hotaru "Can't you use a Pokemon to stop that car?"
"I could" Hotaru admitted "But if they are kidnappers or terrorists, I don't want them knowing my secret! So I'll have to transform when they aren't watching! Help look for a dark alley!"
"Right!"
The two girls ran faster up the block and straight into Darnel. All three go down.
"Hotaru? Ashley?" Darnel inquired.
Ashley gets back up "No time for a quick good morning Darnel! Now's the time to get up and run!"
Hotaru even when she had fallen got onto all fours and eventually onto her two feet "Got that right! I gotta find someplace to hide."
"Hide?" Darnel asked then he saw the car following the two girls "Oh"
Darnel had an idea "Follow me girls!"
The three ran further down with the car in hot persuit.
"What does it want from us?" Ashley asked.
"Not sure!" Hotaru admitted "But I don't want to find out!"
"They look like they are after just one of us..." Darnel admitted.
Darnel took the three girls further down till they saw darkness in between two buildings. He knew it was too short for a car to pass by "Just a bit further ladies!"
The car was closing in on the three and Hotaru literally could feel as if the driver and it's other occupants had guns. Luckily they got to the darkened place just as the car arrived on the scene only to stop. The driver and his passengers if they wanted ether of the two girls would have to give chase on foot.
"Thanks Darnel!" Ashley said.
"You're welcome but don't thank me yet Ashley!" Darnel said.
Hotaru could hear the car doors open making her run faster "Yep! They are after me or you Ashley."
Luckily the three had a good distance away long enough to find a man hole then open it and hide in it with the cover on. This was enough for the pursuers to lose sight of them. Hiding silently underneath the manhole Hotaru had to relax. She mentions for Ashley and Darnel to stay silent till Hotaru sensed the time was right.
"Where did our target Hotaru go?" a voice asked.
"Not sure, but we were so close in capturing her. Now the boss is gonna be furious that we lost her."
"Smart girl to feel our presence..." a third voice sounded.
Hotaru then heard a fourth foot hit against the man hole cover causing Ashley to eep in fear.
"What was that?" the first voice asked.
"It came from the manhole! That's where our target is at."
Hotaru didn't need to know more these pursuers were after her. While the manhole was now trying to be lifted she had little time but she did have enough time to transform whispering to Darnel "Time to fight...Darnel...Take Ashley lower and hide her...I'll deal with them."
"Got it"
Hotaru activated her Rototrix and turned it to a Pokemon, a white flash of light erupted but as the manhole was removed from the ground four heavily armed miltia type men stood gasping as Hotaru had emerged as Serperior. Her red eyes drilled into them as she looked at them "Looking for someone?!"
The four miltia type men now looked at Hotaru not thinking for once this was Hotaru their target themselves and their faces whom were expecting to grab their target now looked of ones with fear. The Serperior's red eyes seem to drill into their souls paralyzing them on the spot
Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Hotaru now slithers out of the man hole still looking at the men. She was giving Ashley and Darnel time to get lower. Two of the men checked to see if there were two others down there but saw nothing. Hotaru grits her teeth as she came up with a lie "Looking for two others as well? We'll don't I ate them!"
The first miltiaman aimed his gun "We are just after another girl named Hotaru! You're in our way!"
"Well you aren't getting to her!" Hotaru warned them "Go on give it your best shot!"
The man aims his machine gun and fired trying to be brave but Hotaru simply raised a vine and deflected the bullets back at all four of her enemies. The four miltiamen fall grazed by the deflected shots, Hotaru eyes the first man whom had tried to shoot her "Want to try again?"
The first man grunts as he had taken a deflected bullet in his knee. Before the men could react Hotaru had disarmed them with the same vine then smacked the first wounded man in his neck before wrapping it around all four of the attackers bashing their heads against walls till they were rendered unconscious, then tossed them aside like ragdolls.
Hotaru peers down into the manhole cover "All clear you two!"
Ashley climbs out first with Darnel last "Phew that was a close one."
"Tell me about it" Hotaru muttered "Now let's get to the bus stop and hope these four miltiamen don't come around for a while."
The three left the scene with Hotaru turning back to normal. Once at the bus stop, Hotaru took out her cellphone and called her dad "Daddy...Please pick up."
It was another fine day at NCIS headquarters. A short brown haired man was at his desk as was another brown haired man. The third was a black haired woman. Hotaru's father was also at his desk when the phone rang. The short brown haired man turned "Agent Hatsumi...That's your phone."
"Yes, it is Tony" Hotaru's father admitted "Wonder who it is? Can't be my wife,"
Hotaru's father answered it "Hello?"
"Daddy?" the voice on the other end asked.
Hotaru's father heard her voice "Oh, hello Hotaru sweetie! Have a nice night at Ashley's?"
"Ah" the brown haired man said "His little girl."
"Watch where your mocking as a little girl" the black haired woman warned Tony "At age thirteen, that girl isn't well little."
"Ah Ziva, anyone that has a daughter will call their daughter little girl" Tony told her.
Hotaru answered "Yes...But daddy...Someone nearly kidnapped me."
Hotaru's father was happy but then heard the last remark "That's good sweetie, and...WHAT? SOMEONE TRIED TO KIDNAP YOU?!"
This made Tony stop his joyful teasing manner as he asked himself "Now what kind of person would want to kidnap Agent Hatsumi's daughter?"
"Possibly someone that the four of us along with boss busted" the other man answered.
"That was a rhetorical question Mcgeek."
"Yes" Hotaru told him.
"Are you okay sweetie?" Hotaru's father asked.
"I am..." Hotaru said "For now, Ashley, Darnel and I managed to get away...But these men...Were heavily armed..."
Hotaru's father knew by the sound of his daughter's heavy breathing that she was being honest with him. She had been just inches away from being captured "Alright sweetie, keep a look out even when you are at school, they might be back, where was the location you were chased in?"
Hotaru answered him telling him at the market place "Good, now all we have to-"
A white haired man came into the room "Shooting took place at a market, four men that seemed to be in league with a huge terrorist network are down let's go!"
Hotaru's father heard this "Alright then, sweetie again keep your eyes open there could be more of these men around."
"Right" Hotaru said as she, Ashley and Darnel got onto the bus.
Mr. Hatsumi hung the phone up as he and the rest of NCIS headed out to the location.
About half an hour later NCIS arrive on the scene. By the time they had arrived the heavily armed militia weren't to be found except for the one that shot at Hotaru when she was Serperior. He was dead due to Hotaru's vine whip crashing into his neck with so much force that she accidentally ended up breaking his neck. There were three other blood stains indicting that three other men had been shot but after recovering consciousness took off knowing NCIS or the cops were coming.
Gibbs was the first to annualized the scene seeing that whoever killed the man wasn't trying to be too deadly and that the blows that person delivered to the slain man were delivered in self defense alone. However things were alarming to him that this person wasn't an army officer, marine or navel officer but of one that belonged to a terrorist cell one that had killed three marines three days ago.
"Boss" Hotaru's father told him "This is the place my daughter was running for her life."
Gibbs hesitated then grew worried for his newest NCIS agent knowing that this terrorist cell targeted Hotaru "Not good Agent Hatsumi..."
Tony returned with Ziva at his side "We didn't find the other three men boss, nor have we gotten any witnessses whatever happened happened very early before businesses showed up."
"Great..." Gibbs muttered "Where is Mcgee?"
"Over here boss!" Mcgee said.
The four rushed over towards McGee whom was standing at a store that had a security camera "This store was the closest that had a camera boss, I just noticed it, perhaps it has caught what had happened."
"Perhaps so!" Gibbs said "Get to work getting that footage to send to Abbey...Then, Tony, Ziva, head to Agent Hatsumi's daughter's school. Whoever tried to abduct her will try again but this time we'll have cut them off!"
"On it!" Tony said as he and Ziva went off to try to protect Hotaru.
Agent Gibbs turned to Hotaru's father "Whoever tried to capture your daughter we'll find and stop them, but for now let's try to answer this, we both know it's a terrorist cell the same one that killed three marines."
"Right" Hotaru's father said.
Ducky the NCIS's medical examiner had arrived on the scene "There isn't much of an autopsy that's needed Jethro, but I will do so anyway once I get back, he has a gun shot in his knee possibly from a deflected shot."
"Then something hard hit him in the neck" Palmer stated.
"There is that too" Ducky said.
With that the agents began to fill out with their new duties.
At Cipher's base, Erdos wasn't too pleased Queen Venomica's plan had failed but he wasn't surprised it did ether. One thing was certain was that the other three men, that Hotaru had beaten as Serperior were now recovering inside Cipher's base. It had been Miror B that was the first on the scene that had brought them to Cipher to recover. Miror B also knew that one of their number couldn't be saved and it was why he had left the first man's corps lay where it laid. Miror B explained the situation to Erdos "I was going out to do my early morning dancing practice when I noticed a car following Hotarumon 14 and her friend Ashley, so I followed. I'm not sure who they belong to but long story short, they ended up facing against her Serperior form and she easily defeated them."
"No surprise there" Erdos muttered "Those that aren't prepared or are aware of Hotarumon 14's forms always get swiftly defeated. What a shame too because they seem to be much more militarized..."
The men started coming around then looked around startled.
"Easy" Erdos told the three men "You were saved by Miror B here. You're still recovering from that beat down you took."
"We stood no chance" the three men muttered "against that snake girl."
One took a look and shook with fear as he saw the shadow of Queen Venomica "AND SHE FOLLOWED US!"
Queen Venomica hissed venomously as her demonic head lowered and came into view "DO THY REALLY JUST CONFUSE ME WITH MY PREY AND ENEMY?!"
The men shook with fear never having seen a real demon before but they knew Queen Venomica was a demon of somewhat. Queen Venomica could sense their fear "Cccowardsss...Jussst like the majority of humansss..."
"F-F-F-Forgive us!" the second man stated "Wait, prey and enemy?"
Queen Venomica eyes them then Miror B "Miror B here says you went after a girl right?"
"Under orders by our boss ma'am!" the third man stated "We were trying to kidnap Hotaru Hatsumi!"
Queen Venomica eyes them "Oh I know her! Why do you need her?"
The fourth man answered "Revenge on her father! Whom worked to bust one of our operations earlier! We'll even kill her if our demands aren't met!"
Erdos sighed "And tell us, who is your boss and why would he want even with Hotaru? Queen venomica's here is right, SHE's our enemy as well."
The third man had an idea "Then join us in our quest to capture Hotaru while there is still time!"
"I do have a brother in that school she goes too" Erdos admitted "Posing as a teacher when he is in leagues of us...There might be time to capture her but that would mean he'll have to reveal his true colors and it's not time for that yet."
"What are you waiting for? If she's unaware of it it's perfect timing!"
"Are you dumb?!" Queen Venomica berated the four men "If Ardosss failsss to help capture Hotaru or fails in any other way to help you, then his cover is blown and she'll not fall for a trap again! For now his cover mussst remain."
"And NCIS is on the case already" Miror B said
"Darn it!" the four men stated.
Erdos hums "Queen Venomica is recovering from her latest failure-"
At this Queen Venomica glared at him venomously but lets it slide allowing him to continue "I could lend you a special Monster, bent on helping you giving NCIS a hard time to stop you and for you to maybe capture your target...I warn you though, she's smart and isn't easily captured."
"Can't you help us with your organization?"
"I'd rather not deal with NCIS or any form of US army officers period!" Erdos told the three men "My quarrel at the moment is with Hotaru not with NCIS! Cipher maybe a big organization but it's not that equipped to deal with a true military response just yet...And let's be honest, you know that if this scheme of your leader fails and Cipher does help out more that NCIS and the US army won't rest till Cipher is destroyed...and we can't afford that just yet."
"Especially sense we can't beat one girl" Miror B muttered under his breathe "What good would it do us against a proper army?"
"All we can do" Erdos told the three "Is give you a Shadow Pokemon and nothing more."
"Good enough I guess" the men sighed out knowing that it was probably true, looking around at the Cipher Soldiers which were numerous they too could tell they weren't ready for true fight with a military.
Erdos nods to Miror B "Give them the Shadow Pokemon."
"Of course."
At school, Hotaru sighed heavily. This day wasn't going to be a fun one that was for sure. Oh she knew that NCIS would send some agents over to protect her from further kidnapping. She would be proven right. After second period, she saw two NCIS agents, one woman and one man once she got out of the classroom with Ashley and Darnel at her side. The two walked up towards Hotaru and her group of friends with the man asking her "Excuse me, are you Hotaru Hatsumi?"
Hotaru answered after stopping "Yes, sir, I am!"
"Wow!" the man stated "You're just as beautiful as your father told us!"
"Tony!" the woman told him seeing Hotaru blush red at the compliment "Don't go embarrassing the girl."
"Ah Ziva, don't ruin this moment!"
"Can I help you two?" Hotaru inquired oddly liking the man, she liked his sense of humor.
Tony and Ziva showed Hotaru their NCIS badges with the man answering first "I'm sorry, where are my manners? I'm Special Agent Tony Dinzo, and this is my partner Ziva. We're here to protect you from any other kidnapping attempts."
"Do you two think there could be more?" Ashley asked.
"Sadly we're positive" Ziva told her "We went to the marketplace earlier and found at least one of your pursers, dead."
Darnel blinked then whispered to Hotaru's ears "You didn't hit one of them with your vines too hard did you?"
Hotaru whispered back "I didn't think I did."
"Anyway" Tony reported "There was traces that there were three other men but they seemed to have disappeared by the time we arrived. Those four that chased you belonged to a terrorist cell that we busted three members of three days ago."
"So there would be the reason why they went after Hotaru" Darnel said.
Ziva nodded "They want revenge on Hotaru's father as he was the one that did it by himself when going undercover."
Tony looks at Hotaru "I know you're still at school Miss. Hatsumi but come with me and Ziva back to our headquarters, it's for your protection."
Hotaru hesitates having a really bad feeling about this like an attack might happen even with these two agents protecting her especially on the way to NCIS "Well...Alright."
"You'll be excused" Ziva told her "Tony and I have already explained the situation to the people at the office."
Hotaru looks at Ashley and Darnel and the two nodded to her as they understood her situation and this was needed to protect her. Hotaru agreed to go with them "Alright, I'll come, I just hope they don't target my two friends."
"In theory they shouldn't" Tony admitted "If they were after you."
Hotaru began to walk with the two NCIS agents out of the school leaving Ashley and Darnel behind. Ashley turned watching her friend walk off "Darnel...Was this truly wise,"
"It's for her protection" Darnel told her "Fighting terrorists isn't on her list to do. Nor should she be dragged into it as Cipher is her enemy. Why do you ask?"
"Suppose she needs to use her Rototrix?"
Darnel then got it "Crud...If she needs to save herself from Cipher on this day...Her secret could be exposed...And her father..."
Ashley nodded "Her father would finally know it...As well as four NCIS agents."
"Hopefully her father understands what's going on..."
The two would continue their school day hoping their friend would be okay.
Hotaru was lead out of the school by Tony and Ziva and was heading into a car. Once in Tony drove his way towards NCIS headquarters. At first it was a normal drive with Hotaru in the back seat, but then she felt the danger. Ziva was also concerned looking in the rear view mirror even. Hotaru's insticts took over as she lowered her head so that if anyone was following that it would make it harder for them to see them as there was a car on the horizon with Tony asking Ziva "Ziva? Hotaru? What's wrong?"
Ziva frowned "We're being followed."
"We're in car Ziva, of course we're being followed, it's natural."
Hotaru spoke for Ziva's defense "It's called a woman's intuition Mr. Dinozo...I'm sensing it too."
The car that was behind them was quickly coming onto them and now Tony sensed danger "Oh great...It might be those abductors."
Tony then put his foot on the gas pedal "Well, hang on ladies...I'm gonna try to lose them!"

At NCIS, Ducky had already done a complete autopsy on the slain man. His results indeed had pinpointed the cause of death to be a broken neck but what didn't make sense to him was what could have been done to do that? There was no crobar or other heavy weapon one could wield that would inflict that damage. It puzzled him but when he looked at the neck he saw the mark on the neck was one from a vine "You're a strange case indeed. How could a vine break a neck?"
Gibbs overheard as he had been called into the autopsy room "A vine killed him?"
"That's what it looks like when I look closer Jethro, but if it was a vine that killed him it doesn't seem as if the one using the vine wasn't trying to be fatal, just using her vine to knock attackers down, but his cause of death was instant once the vine hit him in the neck."
"And the bullet Ducky?"
"I was able to remove the bullet and from the direction of the bullet it had been a deflection. I sent the bullet to Abbey to confirm if it was from the terrorist organization."
Gibbs was already on his way out of the room to visit Abbey. In Abbey's lab, a black haired gothic woman was in reading the bullet sample and helping Mcgee getting the footage which they were lucky enough to find a camera that got the fight. What they saw puzzled them with Abbey speaking once she saw Hotaru as Serperior but like everyone they didn't know it was Hotaru herself "Mcgee...Tell me am I seeing things?"
"I was about to ask the same question."
"What question?" Gibbs asked as he and Mr. Hatsumi entered the room.
"The video that the camera captured" Abbey said "Here, we'll play it back from start."
Gibbs and Mr. Hatsumi watch the footage and sure enough they saw Ashley, Darnel and Hotaru being chased by four men until they saw the man hole cover and hid in it.
"Smart move" Abbey complimented Hotaru's witts "She has her father's brains."
"Getting that huge boost in leverage led to them hiding and waiting" Mr. Hatsumi said.
As the video gets on they saw the fourth individual walking and hitting his foot on the manhole cover...They watched as seconds later the men were seen trying to take it off only to be confronted by the Serperior Girl whom after deflecting machine gun bullets like it was nothing to her whipped out at her attackers in a defensive manner. Gibbs now saw the blow that killed the first man they had seen on the crime scene, true to Ducky's remarks the blow was one of defensive nature and not meant to be fatal.
"That snake girl" Mr. Hatsumi said "I've seen her before."
He was racking his brain on this one then spoke "It was that incident with that other organization when they were abducting everyone in Manassas. She came to the rescue and fought that organization's leader and a weird creature...I see she was victorious if she's in this footage."
"Funny you should mention that" Abbey told him "Because this isn't the only footage where a strange animal girl appeared."
Abbey ran other footages showing Hotaru's Slyveon form fighitng against Cipher agents and Terricon, her Lucario form fighting against Cipher Agents and Loveria when she was with them, then at a hospital Hotaru's losing battle as a Ninetails, luckily that defeat didn't seem to show off whom the fox girl really was as it had cut off.
Both Agent McGee and Gibbs were easily putting it together with McGee speaking out "These forms...All have to be one girl. Especially how she fights boss."
"One step ahead of you Agent McGee" Gibbs admitted "Abbey I don't suppose you could use your skills to see whom this girl is."
"I could try" Abbey said "But even if I do so I don't think I'd be able to do that successfully, cause these forms maybe one girl but different forms that can't be edited out."
McGee agreed " These forms look like Pokemon."
It was then Gibbs got a call "Yeah?"
On the other end was Ziva telling him they had Hotaru but they were being followed possibly by the terrorists.
"On it" Gibbs said he turned to Hotaru's father "We have to get going! Tony and Ziva are being followed!"
Abbey turned to him "Gibbs! That bullet fragment that Ducky sent me is from a machine gun belonging to that terrorist gang."
"Good work Abs" Gibbs told her "Come on Mcgee! We got Hotaru to save again"
Gibbs, McGee and Hotaru's father leave ready to help Hotaru.
In the car Tony had tried every trick in the book to elude the ones following them but wasn't able to. The followers really wanted Hotaru so they could have their revenge. As they get closer two start shooting at the car specifically at it's tires. Ziva took out her own gun and tried firing back as best as she could "Save your ammunition Ziva" Tony told her "We may need it later."
He tries to drive when suddenly Hotaru heard her Rototrix going off indicating a Shadow Pokemon was nearby causing her to mutter "Oh-no...Not now."
"Why?" Ziva asked "What's wrong?"
"Something is approaching us...And it's not the ones following us" Hotaru answered looking for the Shadow Pokemon.
Suddenly there was an explosion from underneath the ground as a figure emerged. Tony tries to swerve out of the way but the creature was fast and strong enough to grab onto the car holding it even. Hotaru got a good look of the creature. She saw it's huge claw like hands and looked directly up, and gasped, there was no doubt about it, it was one of the creatures that she believed killed Ashley's parents...Not waiting for a response the creature then threw the car to the other side of the street.
"Girls...We gotta bail, now!" Tony told Ziva and Hotaru.
The two were one step ahead of him with Tony muttered "Why am I the one that's slow today."
He unbuckles his car and and joins the girls in the trees.
"What is that thing?" Tony inquired seeing the Shadow Pokemon.
As if responding the Rototrix answered him "Garchomp! The Land Shark Pokemon! The evolved form of Gabite! A ground and Dragon type! It's a fearsome foe with a deadly bite!"
"Pokemon?" Tony asked himself scratching his head in confusion then he looked at Hotaru "What was that?"
Hotaru grunts looking at the scene as the car following them stopped and three men came out armed with guns "Give us the girl!" the first of the three men shouted at Tony and Ziva "And we may let you live!"
"No way!" Tony told him.
"That was what we were hoping for! Okay Garchomp flatten them!"
Garchomp turned towards the trees and both Ziva and Tony had a feeling their own guns wouldn't do much to this thing. It starts setting up a sandstorm.
"Hotaru?" Tony asked "Ziva, are you still here?"
"Yes" the two girls said as the sandstorm was blinding.
Hotaru took this to reach her Rototrix muttering to herself "Those men want me, we'll their going to get me and Serperior isn't gonna get me out of this one!"
She turned her Rototrix activating it but due to the sandstorm she wasn't able to see what she was turning into but she took a chance and slapped it down. A white flash of light appeared and this gave Tony and Ziva enough time to turn towards the light but the sand covered over the flash while Hotaru's transformation began her skin turns light green in most areas except for the upper leg areas and the souls of her feet. She has red Flygon eyes, sprouts Flygon's Dragon wings which are light green and red near the edge, then she grows a tail which is light green and green with the last part of it being light green with red edgings. She loses two fingers on each hand as they become Flygon's white claws "FLYGON!"
Now as a Flygon, she was able to see Garchomp it was just inches away from ramming itself into the trees where Tony and Ziva were hiding it. She took a chance and spreads her wings and flew towards them. Tony and Ziva saw someone approaching and saw Hotaru but was it Hotaru as she landed on the branch.
"Where are you Hotaru?" Tony asked.
Hotaru sighed "She's fine, grab onto my wings if you want to live!"
Both Ziva and Tony saw the Garchomp upon them so they eagerly grabbed onto Hotaru's back and she took off into the sky avoiding the lunge. Just in time too for the tree collapsed on impact sending the tree down the cliff. Hotaru then set them down on the other edge where there was cover. She knew she wasn't safe yet for the Garchomp would smell her out easily. She turned to the two NCIS agents whom looked at her confused and hoped Hotaru was okay and hadn't fallen with the trees. Hotaru answered their concerned looks "Relax Hotaru is fine...There will be explanations later but right now..."
"THERE THEY ARE!" a voice sounded.
Tony, Ziva and Hotaru turned to see the terrorists whom now had twenty members coming at them with the Garchomp taking the lead.
Hotaru looked at the Garchomp remarking to Tony and Ziva "I trust you two can handle the terrorists?"
"We could" Tony said "But would be difficult with that so called Garchomp."
"Leave it to me" Hotaru told Tony looking at the Shadow Garchomp.
Before Tony or Ziva could stop her, Hotaru took off towards the Garchomp raising a claw. It saw her coming roaring a challenge raising it's own claw. The terrorists saw the dragon girl and the Shadow Garchomp clash claws using Dragon Claw on each other creating a big explosion of pure Dragonic energy "What the? Another Dragon?!'
Hotaru and the Shadow Garchomp continued to fight clashing Dragon Claw attacks on each other each trying to nail each other with one blow. Then finally with one final strike with both claws they collide locking claws on each other. Hotaru was gritting her teeth as their claws were locked a bad situation for her. The Garchomp knew it and forced her backwards slamming her into another cliff side causing rubble and debree to fall everywhere and mostly onto the terrorists below.
"Watch what you're doing?!" one of the Terrorist berated the Garchomp.
Hotaru grunts then watched as Garchomp raised a tail and used Dragon Tail catching Hotaru in her own head causing her to go slamming back first into the ground "Ah!"
Hotaru felt her head grunting as the blow did a lot of damage to her muttering to herself "On second thought, Hotaru...Flygon vs. Garchomp isn't the best match up...Looks like Dragons are good against each other."
As she was laying on her back the terrorists walk around her smirking thinking their dragon had won with that one blow. They came with guns loaded aiming it at her Tony and Ziva seeing Hotaru down had a feeling that the dragon girl was Hotaru! The Terrorists hadn't figured it out yet but both of them did. Then they start firing at the terrorist. Two of their number go down gunned down. Hotaru came around and leaps to her feet and whipped out with her own tail striking at least eight terrorists tripping them even. The Garchomp roared charging her. Hotaru used this moment to use Double Team to fool the Garchomp. It worked like a charm! In it's rage the Shadow Pokemon struck the images but the real Hotaru was at it's back and she raised a claw and used Dragon Claw on its back. Garchomp roared in pain and tries to swat at her as if she were a fly. She flew out of range then came at Garchomp and prepared another Dragon Claw. The Garchomp however waited, then dodged her Dragon Claw and then before she could react it was upon her with it's mouth and tries a lethal bite. Hotaru managed to reach up before the bite could be fatal. It stopped the mouth from slamming shut.
"This fight is nuts" Tony muttered "She was almost eaten."
However neither Tony or Ziva were prepared for what happened next. It seemed as if the Garchomp wanted Hotaru to prevent it's jaws from slamming shut onto her. And starts building up dragonic energy. Hotaru saw it and her Rototrix rang off an alarm as if knowing what was coming. Hotaru's mind was racing as she knew what it was NUTS NOT DRACO METEOR!
Then there was a burst of Dragonic energy as Hotaru was propelled from it's mouth and sent upward then literally took the full force of Draco Meteor and an explosion was seen in the sky as Hotaru plummeted down to the ground. Ziva saw her falling to the ground even slamming into it but Hotaru didn't raise not one bit. She lay on the ground that time gravely injured. Ziva stopped firing as she and Tony broke cover and ran over to Hotaru's body. At the same time a smoke bomb erupted causing chaos within the terrorist's group. Tony took this opertunity to grab Hotaru and with Ziva also supporting her ran off. Once they arrived they saw Gibbs, McGee, and Hotaru's father. It had been Gibbs that thrown the bomb so that Ziva and Tony could escape.
"Whose the Dragon Girl?" Gibbs asked.
Ziva was about to answer when Hotaru's Rototrix activated turning Hotaru back to normal.
"Hotaru!" Mr. Hatsumi shouted.
Hotaru was unconscious to respond.
"What happened?" Gibbs inquired to Ziva and Tony.
The two explained how they were followed by terrorists whom pulled off a weird creature known as Garchomp and Hotaru used something to help them escape but fought a losing battle.
"We couldn't do anything to that thing" Tony told Gibbs while looking at Hotaru "Hotaru must have known it to try to fight it like that Dragon Girl..."
"She gave it a good fight but it wasn't enough" Ziva said.
Mr. Hatsumi was trying to call for an ambulance for his injured daughter seeing her in bad shape, it was hard to believe how she survived that. Gibbs stopped him "Agent Hatsumi...Don't call for the ambulance...That'll give off where we are at."
"Where can we take her then?" Mr. Hatsumi asked.
"Back to NCIS" Gibbs said "We'll have Ducky look her over. Right now they aren't aware Tony and Ziva escaped. It's our chance to get back to our headquarters...I'm sure your daughter will answer all our questions when she comes around."
Mr. Hatsumi nodded holding onto Hotaru "You're going to be fine sweetie...Stay with us."
The NCIS agents began making their way back to NCIS.
One of Queen Venomica's spies were watching the fight between Hotaru and this Terrorist organization and made it's report to them. Queen Venomica hisses in jealousy. Out of all plans to actually beat Hotaru, it took the Terrorists just one plan to use Garchomp to take Hotaru down. She hisses still angry not fully recovered herself as she turned to Erdos "They injured Hotarumon 14...She's badly injured and weak!"
Erdos found himself even angry at this himself making a fist "Perhaps we have them too much power in that Shadow Pokemon. Miror B what was the chances that we gave them that Shadow Garchomp?"
"It was a tiny chance! About 5 percent!" Miror B said "I went to a Shadow Pokemon selecting machine and powerful Pokemon like Garchomp are listed at five percent!"
"Great...They got it and I'm willing to bet they aren't gonna turn it over" Erdos said "True we gave them it...But Hotaru is injured...And this forces Cipher to act. Now we have to kill her while she's injured and weak..."
"But we still can't afford to attack NCIS" Miror B reported.
"We'll we're gonna have to" Erdos told him "Otherwise, these terrorists will kill her as we know Hotaru won't allow herself to be kidnapped. We need to act. Queen Venomica recover while I start with the time to end Hotaru's life task force."
"Asss if I cccould objeccct in my cccondition..." Queen Venomica muttered.
Erdos goes off to prepare to bring Hotaru down once and for all.
