Chapter 2: New Discoveries

"Excuse me for sounding like a nutcase, but you're not Jack Boyd." O'Neill said.

The creature looked at O'Neill for a moment, sniffed him for another moment, and said, "Unfortunately, Colonel, I am. I'm a Ninetails Hybrid, thanks to the virus. Capt. Smith is a Growlthe Hybrid. But the rest of the team was captured by Team Rocket, most likely brainwashed into serving them as well."

"We should leave this area immediately, O'Neill. I can see numerous people and different animals conversing to this area." Teal'c said.

"That would be Team Rocket. I have a cave not too far from here that can help us with shelter for a while." Boyd said.

O'Neill considered his options for a moment and said, "Let's move. Teal'c, take Smith with us."

A short trip later they were in a large cave. It didn't look like much, just your average cave. The only difference was that there were a lot of '-bats' around. (A/N: And I'm not talkin about the kind that are normal to our planet.)

"Charming decorations. Who's the decorator, Batman?" Jack asked.

Boyd turned around and said, "No, but I'm sure his number's on speed dial."

The group walked in silence a little farther to what looked like an old wooden door. There were numerous howls, screeches, and whinnies from behind it.

Daniel looked a little confused until Boyd spoke, "These are other hybrids that are on the run from those Rocketeers. Unfortunately, I think we came at a bad time."

"What do you mean?" Carter asked with worry.

"Well, Major, this is…for lack of a better term…'Mating Days'." Boyd said with a little embarrassment

Jack chuckled when he heard the news of the new predicament. Teal'c, who was holding the still unconscious Capt. Smith, raised his eyebrow to new heights at this comment. Daniel looked down at the ground and nervously rubbed the back of his neck.

"What do you mean, 'Mating Days'." Carter asked with even more worry.

Before Boyd could say anything, Jack piped in, "What he means, Carter, is that the people behind the door are in heat."

Carter was dumbfounded at this point.

"Well, let's throw Capt. Smith in with the rest of the fire hybrids." Boyd said.

'Maybe Maj. Carter should wait in there with…whoa, where did that thought come from?' Boyd thought silently.

"BOYD!" Jack yelled.

Boyd snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Sir?"

Jack calmed down for a second and said, "Now, as I was saying before, where do we go?"

Boyd gave a feral smile and said, "We're going to The Sanctuary to spend the night. That way, if Maj. Carter turns into her hybrid form during the night, she'll have plenty of room."

Meanwhile…

A goon with the red R on his uniform front was standing in the middle of an arena. He was nervous, and rightfully so. No one appeared before the Boss and appeared again.

"So…you failed to catch the other two hybrids." The Boss said from the shadows.

The goon looked around for anything while he said, "Yes, sir. That's what I said."

The Boss was smirking in the shadows and said, "Then you can help me test the other two's abilities. If you win, than you go free. If I win, then you get to be a part of an experiment that I'm conducting. Deal?"

The goon looked even more nervous before going to the other end of the arena and pulling out a Pokeball.

The Boss pulled out a Pokeball of his own and said, "Go, Arbok hybrid."

The goon looked shocked when he saw the boss's first Pokemon. It looked like an Arbok but had tatters of a green uniform on him. His skin was purple and scaly while his eyes were nothing but white. The purple tail was slithering every once in a while. The weirdest feature was the blonde hair on the top of the Arbok's head.

The goon throwed his Pokeball and said, "Wheezing, Go!"

The goon thought, 'I'm not gonna survive this.'

Back in paradise…

The group had walked down a lot more slopes and reached another door. This one, Boyd had stopped at and smiled when he walked up to the lock.

"What are you smiling at, Boyd?" Jack said.

Boyd turned and faced Jack and said, "Because, Colonel, this is Paradise. The Sanctuary, I mean. The room we're about to enter, we really worked ourselves to exhaustion making it Paradise. Sowing seeds, digging trenches for a waterfall and a lake, even making a soft lamp for a little illumination."

He went back to the lock, pulled a key out of a pocket, and put it in.

"Gentleman, Lady,…The Sanctuary."

Sorry that it's taking so long to post new chapters up but I keep getting Writers Block and distracted. With school coming up I'll be even more distracted and will post fewer and fewer. Don't forget to R&R.
