Master Six 2:

Truth and Consequences

Chapter 1

Heroes come and go,

But legends never die.

So remember me my friends,

And on tattered wings I'll fly.

One week had gone by since the first actual battle between The Master Six and Team Rocket. The Master Six had managed to get themselves caught in a secret base of Team Rocket, and then they managed to bust themselves out, with a lot of juvenile destruction and chaos.

Ah, adolescence.

But that was the past, and the team had to move on. They figured to keep fighting Team Rocket whenever they could. Only now they had more pressing matters to attend to.

I guess you could call this place the Master Six headquarters.

It fits, I guess.

Using the money they won in pokemon fights, or using various other methods, the team as a whole bought a small little house in Pewter City to use as a meeting place. It was also used as a hangout when they had nothing else to do but hangout.

It was a modest, one-story house with a basement and a crawl space instead of an attic. It had a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. It was pretty good for a group of twelve-year- old superhero wannabes. But hey, give them a little credit.

One important thing about the house was that it served as a home for the team. Particularly to Heather and Lindsey who didn't have families to go home to now and then. And that was really the main reason of today's meeting. Lindsey's "family".

Nobody knew anything about Lindsey's past, where she came from, and where she got her "powers".

Nobody had any idea.

Except for possibly Lindsey.

So the team had a meeting.

Heather, Whistler, sat in a big easy chair they had purchased cheaply. It was her throne, in a way. All meetings took place in the living room. She had spent the night in one of the bed's, her bed.

Lindsey was in a small chair in front of Heater. The other bedroom was Lindsey's.

Zak, Psycho, was on the couch. He slept on the couch, the ladies got the beds. Zak was still asleep, even though he was a very important part of this meeting. Heather was contemplating the funniest way of waking him up. Lindsey was staring at him, in that weird, dark stare she had.

Gavin, Shooter, was in the kitchen, making a breakfast sandwich. There wasn't much food in the little house, so he didn't have much to choose from. Gavin spent the night on the living room floor. It was a pokemon fight that determined who got the couch. Zak won.

Rodney, Specks, was slumped over in another chair. His family lived in Pewter City, on the other side of town, so he doesn't really live in the house like the others do. Still, he was really sleepy. He barely kept himself awake.

He didn't know the part he would play in the upcoming adventure.

"Is Amber Lynn here yet?" Gavin asked as he walked into the room chewing on his sandwich.

Ding Dong. The doorbell.

"There she is," Rodney said with a yawn, not moving at all.

Gavin walked over to the door, and opened it to the final member of the team.

"Hey Gavin," Amber Lynn said in a cheery voice as she walked into the room, "how is everybody this morning?"

"Fine fine fine," Rodney mumbled again from his chair.

"Glad to here it Rodster," Amber Lynn said as she tossed her backpack into Rodney's gut.

"Ooof," Rodney grunted, but he still didn't move.

"I have some more money for the pot," Amber Lynn said walking over to the cookie jar filled with the team's fund.

"Super," Heather remarked, "now I would like to call this meeting of The Master Six to order."

Gavin sat down on the floor.

Rodney woke up just enough to sit up straight in his chair.

Amber Lynn leaped over the back of the couch landing on Zak's stomach. Waking him up.

"Huh! Wha?" Zak mumbled as he tried to stir, "oh jeez Amber Lynn, lay off the donuts." He pushed her off of himself in a playful way. This foolish playing around made Heather smile. It was good to see her team goofing off together.

Zak sat up on the couch, and Amber Lynn curled her legs under her and sat at the foot of the couch.

"Okay, I'll go straight to the important stuff," Heather started.

"What? No chitchat? No small talk?" Zak joked.

"Sssshh," Gavin scolded, always one for order.

"Okay, listen up," Heather said taking control of the meeting, "this is very serious. Lindsey has a mission."

That shut Zak up, and got his full attention.

"Just to summarize things," Heather started again, "we don't know anything about Lindsey's past. But she is a different story. When that scientist at the Game Corner took her he said some things. She didn't hear much, but she heard enough. And she would like to pursue these leads. So there is a new mission for us. Well, actually, I've decided that too many people on this mission would be trouble. So only three people will be going on this mission."

"Who?" Rodney asked.

"Where are they going?" Gavin asked.

"Why do I have to sleep on the couch?" Zak asked.

"Will Zak ever learn to shut up?" Amber Lynn asked.

Lindsey just giggled.

"Zak I doubt will ever shut up, you have to sleep on the couch because I say so, and onto the important questions," Heather answered, clearing her throat, "The place is Cinnabar Island. It's a somewhat hidden island in the South. There is a small community on the island, also a gym, so it isn't really a mystery. It will be easy to get down there."

She shot a look at Lindsey, who just stared blankly.

"And...?" Amber Lynn urged.

"Only three of us will be going," Heather said, "Lindsey, Zak, and Rodney."

Zak sat up and smiled.

Rodney nodded.

Lindsey just sat there.

Gavin and Amber Lynn both looked a little disappointed.

But it was Heather's call, and She made it.

"Everyone got that?" Heather asked, ready for argument.

"Got it," came the all around reply.

It was good that everybody agreed. There really was no room for argument. She had her reasons. For all of them.

"Okay, good," Heather said, "you'll leave as soon as you're ready. This is a very important mission for all of us. Everyone is interested in Lindsey's past. This is very important. Also, there shouldn't be any fighting or random acts of destruction on this mission either."

Zak snapped his fingers in disappointment.

"Okay, well then, get going," Heather said starting the mission.

Zak, Rodney, and Lindsey all got up and moved to their various stuff to begin packing.

"What do the rest of us do?" Gavin asked.

"Well, that's open to suggestions," Heather answered, "I suggest a vacation of some kind. Maybe a trip to see your parents?"

"My parents?" Gavin questioned.

"My parents!" Amber Lynn shouted with joy.

"Your parents?" Heather asked Amber Lynn.

"Yeah, my parents would love to meet you guys," Amber Lynn exclaimed, "they are really interested in meeting the "gang" I've joined. I've told them you guys are real warriors and really good pokemon champions."

Zak laughed from another room.

"Yeah okay," Heather said, "sure."

"Cool, let's go," Amber Lynn exclaimed.

One half of the team was going on a mission to a forbidden island to discover the secrets of one of their own.

The other half was going on a trip to meet Amber Lynn's parents.

Who was in more trouble?
