Lukes New TR47 Fanfic Chapter IV: When All Seems Lost
Luke woke up slowly, still feeling the side-effects of the sedatives. He was seeing double, and his vision was completely out of focus. He blinked a few times, trying to bring everything into focus, but his vision was still blurry.
Luke sat up slowly, but had to use his hands to steady himself. He was lightheaded and dizzy, and he felt funny. Something was missing, but he wasn't sure what. He blinked a few more times, and his vision slowly began to focus. The double images he was seeing began to move closer and closer together, and eventually lined up. It was still out of focus a bit.
He could see vertical lines in front of him, and wasn't sure what they were. He could also see three objects moving behind the lines. As his vision came completely into focus, he realized that he was in a prison cell, and the three objects were people. Two of the people were guards, and the third was obviously a scientist of some sort.
Luke looked around, then spotted a large red R on the far wall. He knew what the R symbolized. He was in a prison cell at the Team Rocket headquarters. He glanced over, then saw that Joey was still asleep. He stood up unsteadily, then quickly sat back down as a wave of dizziness rushed over him. The floor was cold, which was a bit of a shock to his feet.
Luke took a few deep breaths to clear his head, then tried to remember what had happened. He remembered being in Miss Winduck office, and her lecturing Joey and him. He also remembered hearing something, then feeling a sharp pain. After that, he remembered nothing.
Luke glanced over when he heard Joey begin stirring a bit. He wasn't feeling as dizzy, so he stood up slowly. His legs wobbled a bit as he took a few steps forward. He walked to the bars and looked around, then looked at the scientist that was asleep in front of the cell. Luke pressed himself against the bars and stuck his foot through, then kicked the chair the man was sitting on.
Tac shot awake when Luke kicked his chair. He stood up groggily and turned to face Luke, then yawned. Tac pulled out a watch and glanced at the time, the put the watch away and looked back at Luke.
"Nice to see that you're awake," Tac sneered. He looked at Joey, then smiled as he watched her move a bit. She was waking up, but it would be a good five minutes before she would be fully alert. He sat back down in the chair and waited for Joey to wake up.
Luke tried to whip Tac with his tail, but some unknown force was restraining him. Instead he poked Tac with his tail, then Tac stood up and looked at him.
"Why are we in here?" Luke asked angrily.
"That's confidential," Tac replied. "You'll just have to wait and find out."
Tac then sat back down and slid the chair back a few feet so that Luke wouldn't be able to reach him with his tail. He looked at Joey, who was awake now. Her eyes were open, but she was feeling the same side-effects that Luke had felt a few minutes earlier.
After a few more minutes, Joey was fully alert. She realized where she was almost immediately. She saw Luke standing next to the bars, so she stood up slowly and walked over to him. It was then that she saw Tac standing on the other side of the bars. It had been years since she had last seen him. As she glared at Tac, memories of imprisonment and cruel testing flooded her mind.
Joey stepped back from the bars and tried to power up a Psybeam, but her powers had left her for some reason. Tac laughed evilly as Joey looked around in confusion. She glanced down, then felt something brush against her neck. She reached up, then felt the collar that was there. Hanging from the collar was an ID Tag, and Joey knew exactly what it was for.
"Welcome, Joey. It's been a few years since we last met."
"Tac. I should've figured that you were behind this," Joey said quietly.
"I only organized this. You can thank Miss Winduck for bringing you here," Tac replied.
Joey's eyes narrowed. "I should've guessed that Miss Winduck was a member of Team Rocket. She certainly is evil enough."
"I'll give you credit for that one. She's been teaching for years now, and I have yet to see a student that has anything nice to say about her." Tac smirked, then turned around. "The reason you're here is because you're going to become part of the Team Rocket family, whether you like it or not."
"We'll never join Team Rocket," Luke replied. "I'd sooner die than become a member."
"Be careful, or you just might get your wish," Tac snapped.
Luke glared at Tac, then sat down on the metal shelf that was his bed. Joey continued to glare at Tac as he walked away triumphantly. They both knew that they didn't stand a chance of escaping. The collars prevented them from using their attacks, and the security system was state-of-the-art. It would take a miracle for them to get away . . .
Magick didn't have a clue where to start searching. Luke and Joey could be anywhere. She sat on the couch at the apartment and concentrated her psychic powers, trying to locate Joey. At first nothing happened, so she tried even harder. Luke could see Magick straining to put every ounce of energy into locating Joey or Luke. Melanie saw this as well, and she knew what she could do.
Melanie stood behind Magick and placed her hands over Magick's. Melanie began transferring her own powers to Magick. It was only temporary, so Melanie wouldn't be permanently weaker. Magick felt the surge of energy, but kept concentrating as much as possible. Slowly an image began to appear in her mind. It was distorted, so she couldn't tell what it was that she was seeing.
As Melanie continued to transfer energy to Magick, then image became clearer. Eventually Magick could make out a prison cell of some sort, but it didn't help since she didn't know where it was. When the picture got even clearer, Magick saw a large red R on one of the walls. She snapped out of her trance and looked around.
"They're being held captive at the Team Rocket HQ. We're going to need one heck of a plan to break them out without get caught ourselves."
Everybody looked at each other in concern. Magick stood up quickly, then sat back down even quicker.
"I'm going to need a bit of time to recover from all that concentrating before I can go anywhere."
"How much time?" Michi asked.
"Oh, maybe a few hours," Magick replied weakly.
"That's not going to be enough time. Before we even try to break in, we're going to need a map of the place," Michi pointed out.
"My backpack is in Luke's room," Magick said. "You'll find what you need in there. I know a person that could give us all the supplies we need to break them out."
"Really?" Melanie asked, a bit surprised. "Who?"
"A friend of mine. Her name is Elisabeth, but everybody calls her Lisa."
Note: The Lisa I'm thinking about is a character inspired from one of my other fanfics that isn't TR related. Any similarity to an actual person is a coincidence.
After Magick explained for a few minutes, Michi went and retrieved Magick's backpack. She opened the main pocket, then began searching through the various things in it. She pulled out a sketch and turned it so that Magick could see. It was a sketch of her and Luke. Magick blushed quickly and grabbed the sketch, then Michi giggled and continued searching for the maps.
Magick glanced at the sketch and giggled. The sketch showed Luke holding Magick in his arms in a close embrace, and Magick's head was resting on his shoulder. Nobody else was supposed to see that sketch, because nobody knew about her secret crush on him.
Michi eventually found what she was looking for. She pulled out the thick map and laid it on the table, then unfolded it. The map was a layout of the Team Rocket HQ, and it was in great detail. Michi was in awe at the size of the HQ. The map itself took up the entire table once it was completely unfolded, and it showed every single part and level of the HQ.
They eventually found what they were looking for on the map. It was a layout of the prison area of the HQ. They weren't sure where they were being held, but it wouldn't be too hard to find them once they got into the prison area. They began by plotting a course that would take them right outside of the prison area. They would be able to enter through a window on the second floor, but that would take some climbing equipment.
There was only one reason that they wanted to enter through the second level window. If they went it that way, there would be that much less security for them to get past. Every security system was shown on the map. The only problem they would have would be the guards, because the second floor wasn't as secured.
After planning their route for entrance and escape, they started writing down a list of all the supplies they would need. First of all, they would need the climbing gear. Michi ran into another room and returned with exactly what Magick was looking for. Luke liked to rock-climb, so he had his own gear.
Next was the stuff that they would use to take care of the guards. They would need some tranquilizer darts, but those would be easy to get. Next was the issue of actually getting them out of the cell. Magick had that one covered, because she had her own version of a light saber.
After planning the breakout until 3:00 A.M., they finally decided to go to sleep. They would find Lisa once they woke up, which would probably be fairly late since they had gone to sleep so late. Magick knew that Lisa would be more than happy to give them the supplies. She hated Team Rocket almost as much as Joey did . . .
Joey and Luke were too worried and afraid to sleep. They weren't sure what Tac had planned for them, but they had a fairly good idea. Tac had said that they would be members of Team Rocket, and Joey knew that Tac would go to any lengths to get what he wanted.
Luke and Joey both jerked their heads up when they heard the door to their cell opening. They both stood up, then Joey leapt forward when Tac stepped into the cell. She was roughly grabbed from behind and held tightly, stopping her inches away from Tac. She couldn't see who had grabbed her by the shoulder, but she knew it was one of the guards.
Luke was about to do the same thing right after Joey, but he hesitated and stood upright when he saw the guard grab Joey's shoulder. Luke continued to glare at Tac angrily as Tac walked in, followed by three more guards.
The one guard continued to hold Joey firmly as the other placed handcuffs over her wrists. The other two walked over to Luke and handcuffed him as well, then shoved him forward roughly. Luke walked over to Tac slowly, then stopped in front of him.
"I don't know what you plan on doing to us, but you'll never succeed."
The guards then led Joey and Luke out of the cell, Tac following closely behind. He smiled evilly as they left the prison area, walking down a long corridor. Luke and Joey looked around as the guards led them through various doors. They walked through a set of double-doors, and Luke happened to see a sign above the door that read, "Authorized Personnel Only."
"In case you were wondering," Tac started, "you've got an appointment with the boss. He'd like to get to know you both before we do anything."
"Don't expect to get anything out of us," Joey said defiantly.
Tac growled as they continued down the long hallway. There were numerous doors, each with a name on them. Most of the names they didn't recognize. They saw a door with Tac's name on it, and Joey was tempted to break away from the guards and spit on it. She glanced back at the guards walking behind her and decided against it.
They walked for a few more seconds, then the guards grabbed Joey and Luke to stop them. Joey glanced at the door, which is larger and fancier than the others had been. The name on the door was Giovanni . . .
Michi, Magick, and Melanie all woke up around 11:00. They hadn't planned on sleeping in quite that late, so they all quickly gathered up their stuff. Lisa's home wasn't too far away. It was out in the forest, however, because Lisa didn't want people to see that kind of things she was building.
They all set out for Lisa's house a few minutes after eating lunch. They headed into the forest, and arrived at Lisa's house 30 minutes later. Magick knocked on the door, then Lisa opened the door a few moments later.
Michi and Melanie were both a bit surprised, because they had expected to see someone a bit more like Magick, if not completely human. Instead, Lisa was an Anthro Pikachu. Her yellow ears hung down a bit more than a Pikachu's, and her long dark-brown hair hung down freely.
"I was wonder when you were going to show up," Lisa said to Magick.
Lisa stood back and they all stepped inside. They all looked around in wonder at the inside of Lisa's home. It was more of a laboratory than a living space. The walls were lined with shelves, all of which contained various chemicals.
"So, what'll it be today, Magick?" Lisa asked eventually.
"We need all of this," Magick said, handing their list to Lisa.
"Hmm. It's going to take me a while to get all this for you, but not too long. I can have it all ready for you by tomorrow."
"Mind if we hang around?" Magick asked.
"Not at all. There's a few extra beds in the other room."
Magick thanked Lisa, then they all went into the other room. Michi, Melanie, and Magick all put their packs on the beds, the followed Lisa into the other room where the chemicals were. They all got acquainted, because Lisa hadn't ever met Michi or Melanie.
Once it got dark, they all went to sleep. Lisa slept for about two hours, then woke up and began organizing the supplies. She needed to mix up some potent tranquilizers, as well as some concentrated smoke-bombs that would create a thick screen of smoke, cutting visibility to zero.
Lisa accidentally woke the others up a few times by misreading the mixing instructions, causing the compounds to explode. She only mixed them in small amounts at a time, so they didn't do much more than make a lot of noise and smoke.
By the time Michi, Magick, and Melanie were awake again, Lisa already had everything ready for them. There were dozens of small smoke-bombs the size of golf balls, as well as three guns. Each gun came with 20 small tranquilizer darts, all of which could knock out a healthy person for a full hour. The tip on each dart was so fine that the person wouldn't realize they'd even been hit until it was too late.
In addition to the smoke-bombs and darts, there were three watches. They weren't ordinary watches, however. Each watch came with a small booklet. In the booklet was a list of command codes used for various purposes. The watches could do anything from jamming security equipment to blowing a hole in a titanium safe.
Magick smiled in satisfaction as she scanned through the supplies and equipment, then turned to Lisa. "Thanks. You've been a huge help."
"It was nothing, really," Lisa said while blushing.
"You have no idea," Magick said as she grinned mischievously to the others. "Anything that helps oppose Team Rocket is a huge help."
"You have a point there. Good luck!" Lisa said enthusiastically. She then waved as Michi, Melanie, and Magick walked away.
Lisa smiled in satisfaction. She would do just about anything if it involved opposing Team Rocket, directly or indirectly. Team Rocket had been the reason for her existence. She had escaped from Team Rocket, like Joey, Melanie, Michi and Luke's mother, and countless others, as a changed Pokemon . . .
Luke woke up slowly, still feeling the side-effects of the sedatives. He was seeing double, and his vision was completely out of focus. He blinked a few times, trying to bring everything into focus, but his vision was still blurry.
Luke sat up slowly, but had to use his hands to steady himself. He was lightheaded and dizzy, and he felt funny. Something was missing, but he wasn't sure what.
