Gosh I'm inspired for some reason or another. So here goes.
Mission log 005: Experimental guards ONE and TWO
The six rockets entered into the inner core of the lab. The first thing that greeted them was an impressive foyer. Marble pillars reached the large domed ceiling. The floor was tiled in cool black marbled slates the off set the white pillars. There was a small receptionist desk across from them and there where three small elevators that lead deeper in the lab.
"I don't like how this feels," Lily said. She looked around the empty foyer and asked, "Weren't there experimental projects in here?"
"Yes, there are two projects that were released when the satellites went offline. I have no control of either one," Dina said in her monotone voice. "Project one was a cybernetic augmentation of a pokémon. Number two was of a human. Number one is currently on its way to your position, and number two is in the killing room right in front of the main project core. I would advise you to move quickly into defensive positions." The rockets glanced at each other, and then Alfred yelled out some orders.
"Destiny stay by the door, Lily your with me. We'll cover the elevators. Dave, you and Alicia spread out and attack in a pincer movement. Meka, you hang back and see if you can get in a sneak attack. Don't be afraid to use your pokémon," He said. The rockets quickly put the plan in to motion, as the right most elevator rose up. Just as Alicia and Dave got into position the elevator door blew off its hinges. Hovering in the elevator shaft, with the cables running up behind it, was a scizor. But instead of being red, it was a dark blue with red eyes. Hovering out of the elevator shaft it looked around the room. Alfred came out of hiding from around one of the pillars and started to fire his M-16 at it. A small circular panel opened on its forehead revealing a glowing orb. As the bullets almost struck, they stopped because of the force field in front of the armored bug. Four narrow slits opened on the shoulders on the bug/steel type. And four rockets fired at the gunman. He jumped away from his last location as it exploded in flames. Lily and Fate appeared in front of Project one, and blasted it with a combined psychic attack, but the shield absorbed the hit.
"Everyone, that thing in his forehead is a modified protect tm. Instead of teaching the pokémon, it just uses the move. We can't hit it with out destroying that," She yelled. Project one dashed across the room toward the recovering Alfred, Lily and Fate. The jynx was the first to notice the enemy pokémon was flying with out using its wings. Meka was the second when Sliver launched a shadow ball attack. It too was blocked by the protect field.
As the pokémon turned to face him he noticed the small glowing orb in its back, attached right between its wings. "What does this thing have?" He asked.
"Project one is equipped with one hover unit, four mini-rocket launchers with armor piercing heads, one shied unit, one lighting ray, and two energy cutters. All of the subjects stats have been raised by seventy percent, so approach was caution," Dina said in answer to Meka's question.
"This is not good," Destiny murmured quietly releasing her pokémon. In the mean time, Project one almost took Meka's head off with a slash attack, running straight through his pokémon. Lighting arched between one of his open claws, and a blade of light formed. He swept it across the room, and it sliced a brilliant path thought the dim room. Alfred and Lily ducked under it as sliced through a pillar and the wall behind it. And Ice punch and a dragonbreath attack hit from two sides of the Project one, but the shield still remained strong. Alicia came in with a furious jump kick, but the Project caught her leg and with a crunch and a throw sent her flying across the room and into a wall. The Project hit Chance in the chest with a headbutt in the face followed by a slash across the chest, drawing blood. The slits opened on its shoulders as turn about face and fired rockets at Rage. The large gyarados tried to destroy them and their sender with a hyper beam, but the rockets came in to fast and impacted in a blast of fire. Dave recalled his injured pokémon as Project number one rushed him using agility. With a double-edge attract to the chest the rocket and the cyber pokémon when to the ground. Project one floated to his feet, and looked down coldly at the rocket. Dave angrily stared back at the pokémon who extended a claw at him. Blue-white lightning arched around the claw of the pokémon and Dave saw the orb of light form in its claw. He quickly threw a knife in to the shield generator in his fore head.
"Take…that," he gasped holding his chest as the pokémon staggered back. The energy cutter he formed fired wild, the blast cutting in to the roof. A blizzard attack blasted him further away from the downed rocket. As Project one recovered he was hit in the side by a sky attack from Soarad who took him by surprise. The pokémon was then rocked by a triple psychic attack from Sliver, Fate and Lily. Project one recovered faster then all three of them expected however and split apart in a double team attack. The five Project one's rushed the group, but two vanished from a burst of gunfire from Alfred, and the rest where torched by Spitfire who hit them all with a flamethrower. The blast of fire actually made Project one stagger. Giving a wounded Chance an opportunity to get close. The hitmonchan blasted the Project with a Dynamic punch to the back, shattering the hover-unit. Project one was not happy with that and retaliated with a Metal claw to the head the cut the side of the pokémon's face open in a spray of blood and sent him to the ground. Then he crossed his arms in front of himself as his wings started to flap. Blue-white lighting arched around the standing pokémon as he powered up. He threw his arms to his sides as large beam of electric energy was sent flying at Destiny. Soarad seeing his mistress in danger swooped by and grabbed her as the beam of death hit where she was. The blast almost consumed them both, but they cleared it. The shockwave knocked everyone but Project two off there feet except for Destiny and Soarad, who where flying and Dave who was getting up.
"I'm tired of this," Alfred said. He pulled a remote charge out of pocket. He looked over to Spitfire and nodded. Spitfire lived up to his name and held Project two's attention with a barrage of rapid-fire ember attacks. The cyber pokémon dodged them however, running in to clawing range. Just as he was about to reach the fire type, Sliver, Lily, Meka, and Fate all joined together and held him in place with their minds. Alfred stuck the charge on Project one's chest. He ran with out looking back. Spitfire did several quick backward handsprings away from the raging scizor. Landing a good distance away he fried a fire blast attack right at the charge on Project one's chest. The pokémon's pupils struck as the fire approached him. The blast hit dead on setting off the charge. The resulting explosion took part of the ceiling down and filled the room with smoke.
"And that's how you go out with a bang," Lily dryly commented. Meka raised an eyebrow as he waved the smoke from in front of his face.
"Casualties?" Alfred asked.
"Chance is down, and my leg is shot," Alicia said as Fate helped her limp to the others. Her leg was almost cut to the bone.
"And Rage is in critical condition," Dave said. "So now what?"
"Now we regroup," he glanced at the door they came in and noticed that it had blocked by falling debris. "And figure out how to beat project number two with out anymore injuries, cause where're cut off." The gunman and group leader paused as he watched Destiny patch up Alicia's leg. Both Chance and Rage had been recalled and would be all right as long as they didn't leave their pokéballs. Alfred made a snap decision. "Meka, you and Sliver stay with Alicia. See if you can find another way out of here," he ordered. He tossed the young man a walkie-talkie. "Use this to contact us."
"Man, I won't be in this mess if I hadn't hurt my leg," Alicia moaned.
"Well it's your fault for jumping in like that!" Dave said.
"Hey, you had a long distance weapon, I didn't see you using it," Alicia snapped back.
"Knock it off both of you," Lily said as the group made it to the elevator doors. The recalled their pokémon and enter the elevator that had arrived when they fought Project number one. Dina took control and sent the elevator to the level with the main computer core, leaving Meka, Sliver and Alicia behind.
The elevator doors opened after a short pause. Alfred and Dave moved out first; Alfred with his M-16 and Dave with a throwing knife in his left and a handgun in his right. Lily walked out holding Destiny's hand, ready to teleport the two of them out of the way in the event of a surprise attack. Dina was only letting them in without resistance because of Destiny and they couldn't afford to lose her or Lily, who had to reboot the system. Alfred on point walked down the marble tiled hall, looked back and forth at the empty labs and cubicles in the rooms they passed by. Dina guided them through the empty and silent maze of workspaces. Her monotone voice was the only voice in the deafening silence. They made their way to a security door that opened in front of the four rockets. In side was a large, square, and empty white tiled room. The only thing in it was a lady in a black leotard. She had red eyes and short sliver hair. Paler skin made her look like a walking corpse in the harsh florescent light. She was wearing neither shoes nor gloves.
"Project Number two, I guess?" Destiny said. "Dina what weapons does she have?" She asked as the cybernetic woman just stood there and started at them with a blank expression.
"Project two is equipped with hydraulics that allow her to be several times faster and stronger than a normal human and most pokémon. She can lift a snorlax; out run a rapidash and punch thought the armor of a steelix. She has increased telekinetic and pyrokinetic abilities due to brain augmentation. She can heal back from almost any wound do to nanites in her blood and her skin is resistant to most attacks. She has several sensors in her eyes, and her bones are now a lightweight bio-metal, similar to the armor of a forretress and are almost imposable to break. Her mind has been programmed with several hand-to-hand fighting styles and mental tactics so she can out fight a hitmonlee and can resist the probing of an alakazam," Dina stated.
"Ok, here's the plan. Lily, you and Destiny release your pokémon. Dave and I well attack this one with their help. In the ruckus you sneak by," Alfred said. The two girls nodded and complied. Fate, Soarad, and Spitfire where released. They quickly explained the plan, pointing at the door behind Project Number two. The three pokémon nodded. "Ok on my, mark, NOW!" Alfred yelled. The gunman and Spitfire charged in the room, firing bullets and embers. The others followed splitting up as soon as they came through the door. Project two leapt into action the second the attack began, dodging the bullets and fire. She countered by dashing toward Dave. But an ice beam from Fate stopped her short. She blocked it with a psychic shield. Both Alfred and Spitfire hit her shield with bullets and a flamethrower respectively. The now stationary Project two took the onslaught with out flinching. She released a massive telekinetic burst with blasted her three attackers off their feet. She turned in a blur and caught the knife that Dave threw. But this left her open to the storm of handgun bullets. They knocked her off her feet, all of them hitting her chest. Watching her fall back, Dave smirked.
"That wasn't so hard," he boasted.
*It's not over yet, * Soarad said. And indeed it wasn't. Number two vanished and reappeared on her feet right in front of Dave. With a blindingly fast punch to the chest she knocked him across the room and into the wall. He hard enough to cause cracks to form. He fell to the ground face down. Project two caught Soarad with telekinesis as he dove down to hit her. She tossed him in the way of the blizzard attack Fate fired out, freezing the bird solid. She pointed her hand at the jynx palm forward. A massive burst of fire blasted out consuming the ice/psychic before she could dodge. She walked toward Alfred and Spitfire who as the watched the bleeding bullet holes resealed themselves, as she healed back to full.
"Well old buddy, we're probably dead," He said to his old partner.
*Had to happen some day, * the fire type grumbled back as the weapon approached them.
Meanwhile, Lily and Destiny had successfully sneaked into Dina's control room. Several large stacks of electronics made up the super computer. The room was circular in shape with the five stacks in a smaller circle. In the one across from the door there was a small terminal, also to the left and across from the door where three large tubes. Two were empty. In the third stood a small ten-year old girl in a black leotard with a red R on the front. She was wearing sliver boots and had short neck length sliver hair.
"Project number three, my mobile shell," Dina said answering their unspoken question. It has all of the abilities of project two and all of mine, except it cannot uplink to the satellites, and can only control a few organic life forms, which have to be at close range. I have been downloading by current files and configurations. I rather like being independent, and with my mobile shell online I will be even more so."
"Lily, do what you need to do, cause we are running out of time," Destiny said looking at her watch. The satellites would soon be in alignment and they needed to be done with Dina. Lily quickly hooked up her computer to the terminal and began to upload the files Giovanni gave them. As she did, Dina's mobile shell became activated, and stepped out of the tube, breaking the connection she had with her stationary shell. This act deftly prevented her from being fully rebooted. Lily ignored her as she walked over and looked up at Destiny.
"Greetings," she said shyly to her with a soft smile. Destiny smiled back. A few tense moments passed as Lily hurried through the disks.
"I am almost done," She whispered. Suddenly the door blew off as Spitfire flew through it and slid up to Lily's back. She half-turned as Project two stepped thought the door. Project two threw Alfred's desert eagle behind her. The three girls hard the magnum hit the ground behind her in the quiet. Project two threw a fireball at Lily who jumped out of the way. The fireball blew up her computer and part of stationary Dina. Destiny and Dina stepped back away from the approaching Project two. Lily appeared in front of her and the other two girls.
"Well, it looks like the satellites aren't going to be a problem, as that hit shorted the main computer. But now it looks like we are going to die anyway," She mumbled as Project two charged.
