Entrance Into Chaos

DBAF Book 2, Part 2

By Grey Wolf Himura

The Dark Ages Saga

Chapter 1 - Prelude

10 YEARS AGO

"Mother, NO!!!" A rushing sound, then a cry of pain.

"Rushing me like that was stupid. Live with the fact that, because of your own weakness, your mother is dead, like you will be soon enough! Hahahahaha..." Another voice spoke.

"Damn... you..." the first voice whispered as the second voice left. Soon, all was silent but the thoughts in the young girl's mind, as the house burned to the ground.

November 4th, 1881, Era unknown(Present)

"Grey Wolf?" Yugi had returned.

"Yes?" Grey Wolf's face was unusually stern for a 13 year old.

"It passed."

"No." Grey Wolf retorted defiantly.

"Yes. Now pokémon can be captured for slavework."

"Damnit, they can't do this!"

"And it gets worse. Unless you're part of Team Rocket, Aqua or Magma, pokémon training is banned. All pokémon trainers are to release their pokémon immediately."

"Damn Team Rocket! Ever since the Meiji era began, things had been going downhill! Now, poke'mon, slaves!? This is ridiculous!" §hadow had emerged and was infuriated.

"Hell yeah!!! No one's taking my Dragonite for the slave trade!!!" A knock at the door. "I'll get it..." Vejiita said bitterly. He opened it to see Zac's face, pure white with shock.

"Grey Wolf, Vejiita, Drake called a meeting of the International Poke'mon League. Everyone's going to be there, you included." Zac spoke, his voice shaking. Grey Wolf forced §hadow back inside and walked forward to put her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, don't worry... everything's going to be ok. I promise that."

"Ok-k..."

"Yeah. We have to stop this. I feel like giving Team Rocket an express visit and kicking some serious, well deserving a-"

"Grey Wolf!!" Yugi yelled.

"What?!"

Vejiita slapped his forehead. "Idiots... Oh yeah... can Yugi come?" He said, having put aside his angerful feelings toward Yugi in light of the recent events.

"Yeah, he can. Anyone in support of the Meiji, Poke'mon, or the idea of Team Rocket having their asses handed to them, can come."

"Well, I'm up for all three." Yugi said, recieving an angry glare from Grey Wolf when he wasn't looking. She knew that if it came to aiding either the Meiji or Team Rocket, she was still undecided, and if it came to it, she'd fight both, as she knew her father, Saito, the Miburo no Ookami, would do the same.

Chapter 2 - Meeting at Mt. Silver

"As you all may have guessed, we have called you here today to discuss the dictatorship that has taken over the weak government we formerly had(Drake had been in support of the Tokugawa), and the decision this new government had made to ban all forms of poke'mon training except in the form of slavery. In an obvious statement, we must impeach this new government. We cannot..." Drake paused, with a sober look on his face- "...fight this battle with words. It is now that I hand the meeting over to the former army Liutenant, Lt. Surge."

He stood up. "My idea is an ambush, plain and simple. We know that they've made their base of operations the former Silph Co., located in Saffron City. We must first, surround the vicinity of Saffron, then push our way in, taking out anyone we see that is a Team Rocket member. This may... cause civilian or poke'mon casualties. Does anyone know the building's dynamics?"

"I do, from the beginning of the Meiji." Grey Wolf said, all of them knowing she was talking of the assasinations she had done in an attempt to take down the Meiji, an assasination career from 5 to 7, when she had been known as the §hadowWolf, the soul reaper... the resistances' version of Hitokiri Battosai, the heir of the Miburo No Ookami himself...

"Alright, then if possible, could you map the building?"

"Sure, I know that place like the back of my hand."

"Good. Now, after we've pushed our way to the building, we'll split into two teams. The first will enter, find their leader, And take him out. That will send their HQ into a state of dismay, at which point, that team will strike outward from there. The second team will push inward, taking out all on the first floor, then the second, then the third, and so on. This will take out their entire forces and will reclaim Kanto from Team Rocket."

"So, basically, it's like a one-turn-kill strategy. We attack in one big strike to wipe them all out, right?" Steven asked.

"Yes." Lt. Surge, Vejiita and Grey Wolf all answered at once. They were all familiar with war all too well. "Now..." Lt. Surge continued. "Grey Wolf, please, hurry with the map outs. That's top priority for you."

"Got it."

"Now, as for the rest of you, unless you've got combat experience, I want you to learn how to use a P-90, and train your poke'mon to listen when you tell them to kill." Lt. Surge's last words caused startled murmers from the group of people there.

"Our poke'mon... kill? With all due respect, sir, I don't think I could do that-" Morty got out before-

"Don't talk as if you know what it means to have a poke'mon kill! It's something I was against, too! However, it must be done! Our country, our WORLD is more important than your poke'mon's innocense! Swallow it, and go on! There is nothing beautiful or glorious about death! But IT MUST BE DONE!!!" Lt. Surge suddenly went into a rage, one that no one had expected up until that point when it began.

"I am in agreeance with Lt. Surge. This is for the sake of everyone. No gain can come without sacrifice, no victory without loss. It must happen."

"Grey Wolf, Lt. Surge, with all due respect, my poke'mon has never, and will never kill!" Zac yelled.

"Damnit, Zac, my poke'mon have yet to be stained with another's blood as well! I know how you're feeling, but there's nothing... nothing that can be done. All cross over from the border of innocense one day. And for this reason, it's more than enough. And for that reason, I will kill all of Team Rocket myself if I must!"

"Grey Wolf-"

"I am the §hadowWolf to you! Let it be known that one of the Tokugawa's Hitokiri has returned, and Team Rocket is first on her list!" The room was silent. "Venting some anger on Team Rocket sounds good right about now!"

"You can't go around, just killing people!"

"And what is the reason why!?"

"Because you can't, Grey Wolf!"

"What of Frieza?"

"He was pure evil!"

"And Team Rocket isn't?"

"Damnit, Grey Wolf! All you care of is not the Meiji, or of your poke'mon, but of the Tokugawa! Let go, damnit! It's over!" Grey Wolf teleported in front of him and slammed him into a wall.

"How dare you even suggest the fact that I would not care about my poke'mon! My poke'mon are EVERYTHING to me!"

"If that's true..." He quickly grabbed a poke'ball from her waist before she could react, and teleported to the other side of the room. "Kill Vejiita! Or Slash dies!" He yelled.

"What?!" Grey Wolf said. She looked at Vejiita, who had jumped out of the seat next to her. If it came down to it, she wouldn't be able to kill Vejiita. He still meant too much to her. Zac sighed.

"You see? You might be faced with a decision like that, if, god forbid, Vejiita, Yugi or even I deserted. Would you be able to overcome the feelings you have for those two? I doubt it. So... stop acting like it."

"..." Grey Wolf sat down and put her head down in resignation. Given the choice, she would probably save Zac and Vejiita... but what Vejiita had said before was right. She really was dating Yugi for the sole purpose of revenge. And even so, the revenge was half hearted. Perhaps her and Yugi were better off as friends...
