Chapter 8
Inside the giant frig Morris and Team Rocket were having no luck finding the antidote at all. The whole frig was the size of a moderate room with shelves and vials of nearly everything under the sun. Morris was disgusted as nothing was labeled. "How the hell do they find things? Fifteen isles full of stuff." Mewoth said, "Is this it?" Morris took the bottle and said, "How did you find this?" Mewoth replied, "You should have looked at this. It was on the table near the entrance." Morris opened the book and discovered it was a catalogue of the contents of the frig. Morris said, "O.K. now I'm embarrassed. We'd better get back to the others. Where's Jesse and James?" Mewoth told Morris that they were in the back of the frig. They had discovered a couple of cases of soda and ice cream that was being stored. Morris looked at them, they were covered head to toe in ice cream. "You two are pathetic." Jesse said, "We haven't eaten in a week, give us a break."
Meanwhile, back at the lounge, Max had just finished explaining to his sister why she was transformed. May said, "You mean either I stay like this or I lose my memory? This has got to be the worst day of my life." Morris and Team Rocket rushed in and Morris said, "I've got the stuff. Lets get out of here." Ash stopped him and said, "Shouldn't we give the antidote to May now?" Morris replied, "I don't exactly know what will happen when I give it to her, for all I know she could have a seizure! I say we bust out of here, put a huge ass amount of distance from this hole, then give May the antidote. That way we don't have to worry about some guard with a gun busting in on us while May is switching back."
Suddenly a voice said, "How noble of you." Everyone turned around. There was a man with blood red hair, sunglasses, a dark blue slacks and tee shirt, combat boots and a pair of leather gloves staring at them. Morris blurted out, "Who the hell are you?" The stranger smiled and said, "Forgive my manners." He bowed deeply and said, "Dr. Justin Edward Bailey, head of this marvelous facility, at your service." Ash said under his breath, "You're the sick monster who runs this place?" Bailey replied, "Such an understatement, my young man." Ash bewildered stated, "You heard that!" "Let's just say I've always had a keen ear. I'm in a decent mood today, so if you hand over the specimen, I'll be kind enough to let at least one of you live" stated Bailey. Brock exclaimed "Are you nuts? No way are we handing May over to you." "Suit yourself." replied Bailey. He then looked at Jesse and James saying "Guards--Seize Them." James and Jesse looked down at the stolen uniforms they were still wearing and realized that Bailey thought they worked for him.
Jesse smiled and said, "Just a second sir." She took a great ball off her belt and opened it revealing her good old Seviper. She yelled "Smoke Screen Now!" Seviper obliged and the whole room filled with smoke. When it cleared, Bailey found himself standing in the room all alone. Bailey swore repeatedly and said, "They all must be spies from one of our rivals. Probably Rocket. Aqua and Magma are too busy fighting each other to notice we are in their backyard." He pulled out a communicator and said, "Kennedy are you there?" Kennedy responded, "Yes commander, your orders?" Bailey stated, "The integrity of this facility has been compromised by Team Rocket. More likely one of their assault teams is on its way. Activate the self destruct sequence. There is no way they will get up to the surface before this place blows. Shut down the elevators as well, I don't want them escaping. Order evacuation now. All units are to head immediately to the motor pool or hanger." Kennedy said, "Yes sir. Commencing self destruct protocol."
At that moment alarms went off. It sounded like the reactor destruct sirens from the video game Halo. A female voice said, "Attention-- Attention: Self Destruct Sequence Has Been Activated. This Sequence Cannot Be Aborted. Releasing All Locks For Evacuation--7.5 Minutes Till Self Destruct." Bailey smiled, thinking to himself, a minor set back. I have a back up lab located around Mirage Island. I'll continue my work and soon the world will enter a new golden age, and I'm doing it right under my employers nose. He took out a remote and pressed the button. Part of the wall in the lounge slide back revealing a secret passage that led directly to his private hanger. No one else knew about the passage or hanger except himself. Bailey took a luxury ball off his belt and opened it revealing his faithful Zangoose. He said to it "We've got to leave, we have things to do and a world to change." Zangoose simply nodded and they both started down the passage to the only elevator that continued to work.
Out in the hall, the gang was plowing through nearly every Team Tech guard in the base. Jesse's Seviper was torching them with its flame thrower attack Morris' Porygon 2, Glitch was using ice beam, and had already frozen several guards in blocks of ice. Ash's good old Pikachu as usual was lighting up the bad guys like a Christmas tree.
Finally they got to the elevator leaving a trail of charred, frozen, and shocked grunts in their wake. Morris said, "Dammit! They have locked down the elevators." Glitch said, "There are some stairs down the hall according to the schematics I downloaded. They'll take us straight up to the motor pool." Suddenly they heard an alarm, and the voice repeating "The Self Destruct Sequence Has Been Activated. This Sequence Cannot Be Aborted. Releasing All Locks For Evacuation: 7.5 Minutes Till Self- Destruct Starting Now. Count Down Activated." Jess, James, and Mewoth screamed "We're too young and pretty to die." Morris said, "You've got to be kidding me. That nut bag is going to blow this place and all his men just to prevent us from escaping?" Max said, "Can we get to the surface in 7 minutes?" Glitch replied, "Barely, we might be able to just make it if we start hauling ass right now."
