Chapter 430

"Firestarter 4"

In the ruins of the children's school, Sasha turned to Sonya. "Before we head out, tell me what you know."

Sonya thought for a moment. She then glanced at Trump, "Are you certain you want him to hear it?"

Sasha rolled her eyes, "He's no threat to us. It doesn't matter what he knows or what hears when I can put him in the dirt whenever I feel like it."

Sonya nodded, "I see your point." She took a deep breath, "All Mandy and I have are the memories we woke up with. Which isn't a lot. In our previous lives, we lived here together."

"Together?" Seth leaned forward.

"Not like that, Seth." Sonya hissed.

Seth smiled, "A guy can dream, right?"

Sonya gave Seth a dismissive look and returned her attention to Sasha. "There are pillars to reactivating Atlantis. It was broken down into ten different pillars pieces.

Emergency

Intelligence

Supply

Medical

Naval Operations

Law/Legal

Science & Research

Government

Security

Technology

Each pillar has five or more towers tied to it, guarded by Captains, Vice-Captains, Commanders and Lieutenants for it's particular sector. One tower isn't enough to fully reactivate each pillar." Sonya explained. "Our tower, for example, unlocked the boilers and water purification. So now we have drinking water and the emergency rations. But truly all you unlocked was drinking water on Atlantis. By taking all of the towers you'll resurrect Atlantis into a livable continent of life for people and pokemon."

Sasha nodded, "Just as we thought."

Suddenly, a voice called, "We're back," Ash waved with Pikachu on his shoulder, "Look who I found." Motioning to Misty & Brock.

"Hey guys," Brock waved, "Mind if we join ya?"

Sasha shrugged, "The more the merrier, right?" She sarcastically sighed, "And more mouths to feed which means we only have so many rations between all of us and the children."

Prince turned to Mandy, "Which is why we need to head for those towers now?"

Ash nodded, "We'll take some towers too."

"Yeah." Roman nodded.

Sasha looked at Ash, "Not a scratch on you? I guess The Fiend wasn't so tough."

"Nah," Ash shook his head, "Typical Bray Wyatt, talks a big game but when it's time to fight he was garbage."

The Swords nodded.

"Alright," Prince turned to everyone, "We're off to our tower."

Sasha competitively stared at Prince, "I'll race you back."

"I thought you were tired of losing to me." Prince snorted.

"I'm in the lead with wins, let me remind you." Sasha retorted.

"Only because I-"

Sasha cut him off, "Winning is winning."

"Whatever," Prince turned away, "Lead the way, Mandy."

"Okay," She smiled, "Let the date begin."

(Date?) Prince wondered, shaking his head following her head.

"Let's go, Sonya!" Sasha snapped, "We have to clear our tower before they clear theirs." Before Sasha hurried off, she turned to Ash. "Hey," suspiciously watching him, "Don't you wanna know more about the towers before you head off. Sonya and I can hold up a second if you-"

"No, it's okay." Ash shook his head, "We heard more than enough walking up."

Sonya covered her mouth, "I didn't know I talked so loud."

Seth dug into his ears, "I barely heard you."

"Well, I guess I have bionic hearing," Ash chuckled nervously. "So Prince is headed west, you're heading East. Where'd Carlito go?"

"He went off to a tower." Seth explained.

"Oh, okay. So by tonight we should have four or more towers taken."

"Five." Roman grunted, "I'm going after a tower too."

"But didn't we say no one goes alone?" Sasha nagged.

Alexa waved her hand, "I'm back," she smiled, "I'll go with Roman."

Sasha blinked her eyes, "You? When did you-"

"It's a long story." Ash scratched his head.

Sasha exhaled, "Tell me later when we get back, okay."

"You got it." Ash smiled.

The Swords all went their separate ways. Each one with a different tower to take before nightfall. Ash, Brock, Misty, Roman and Alexa made their way toward their tower with a demonic glow in their eyes.
