Chapter 5: The First Attack
"So that is our plan," said Ardos. He wanted to destroy those places first. He wanted the few places of Orre that isn't cover in darkness to cover in darkness for good. It was sad, but I couldn't do anything.
"Now all we need is a person to lead the first attack on the Pokemon Lab," said Nascour. Nascour and Ardos looked around for a person to do it. They finally stop on the person they wanted to do it. They all stared at me.
"Me?" I said in surprise. I they couldn't trust me. They knew I wasn't all that interested of rejoining the group. They knew the look on may face said no. But they seemed set on me.
"Why her?" said Zook. That was a very good question. Why? Why me? Of all the people, why me? There are more people out there who do a better chance at doing the invasion. I really didn't want to. I really didn't want to be here too.
"Why?" said Ardos, "Why of course to prove your loyalty. I have been watching you. You have a lot of doubts. Too many that can destroy us from inside. This is the ultimate way of seeing you'll do as I say."
I took a step back. I couldn't do this. I just couldn't do this. The dark would come again. It would hunt me down for what I did. It will never let me go. Every decision I do, pulls me into the darkness.
"Well?" said Ardos, "What you decision? What is it? If you say no, you can just imagine what will happen to you. Say yes, and you'll be safe."
The scare me on what he said. The unknown of what he would do, terrified me. But like he said, I would be safe, but that another inch into the darkness. I swallowed and said, "I'll do it."
He smiled, I guess that's what he wanted to hear. He turned to everyone in the room, "She spoken and now we attack tomorrow!"
Everyone laughed evilly. I looked around me. I could swear darkness of the shadows crept closer and closer to me. I could shrug it off, but there was no way denying it. I was pulled more into the darkness.
A friend once said put a smile on your face and everything will be ok, but she was wrong. I tried to smile that I wasn't alone anymore. I did it all the night in my room. It didn't help at all. The darkness couldn't open.
"Wake up," said someone, "Wake up lazy. It's your time to shine!" I opened my eyes slowly. My brother looked at me. He smiled warmly, but I knew that wouldn't help me fell better.
I walked into hallway. Naps lead me outside. He said it was a surprised. I closed my eyes like he said. He says it a surprise, but had a feeling what it was.
"Open them!" said Naps. I opened my eyes. In front of me was how bunch of Cipher Peons. I knew it. They were my army. My army to start the invasion and destruction of the lab.
"Well?" said Naps smiling, "They're your troops for the attack! Aren't you happy? Come on! You are going to be a legend on the defeat of one Cipher's worst enemies!"
"Yeah," I said, "I'm happy." In truth be told, I was lying. I was pretty sure he didn't believe me, but he smiled happily.
"Here's your plan," said Dakim handing me the plans, "You're to send you first troops to capture Professor Kane and the scientists in work and give them Order 10."
"What's order 10?" I said. I knew it couldn't be good. I knew what he was talking about, but I hoped I was wrong. I just hoped I was wrong.
"I tell you later," he said, "But before you have them capture the scientists, make them cut the power. No need for them to call the police. After Order 10 is given make the troops set the rest of the place on fire. Leave no ruins of the place."
After I headed to troops, a peon came running up. "Hi!" she said cheerfully, "Remember me?" I didn't know. Just not a single clue, she had too much armor on.
"Come on!" she said, "It's me! Diogo! I went from St. Performer to a peon troop! I was promoted!" Her? Promoted to a higher rank? Didn't seem possible to me, but she was now allowed to work in Cipher attacks. I wished she won't get hurt and I yes nobody would. But I knew that wouldn't happen. It depressed me.
I wondered where they got all the new members. Maybe they broke them out of prison. But knew they came back from the shadows and are now in total darkness.
I walked out of the cave. The light burned my eyes. I hadn't left the Under in a week so my eyes got used to the darkness. I was now back in the light, but my soul still in darkness. I sighed and lead everyone to the lab.
I walked to the top of the hill viewing the lab. It still looked the same. Not much had changed since we kidnapped Krane. I took one last look at how it used to be, and knew it would be soon just a burnt scar on the face of Orre.
"Ok," I said to a few troops, "Cut the power and then start the captures." They nodded in agreement and took off for breaker box.
I watch from a distance, but I saw that the place lost all power from my binoculars. Then I gave the next order from my next phase on attack. They ran into the building and I heard screams. I shed a single tear at what I did.
I watch has they brought out the scientist and people. They where heading my way with the prisoners. At least I look different, so no one should be able to recognize me.
"Why are you doing this?" shouted Krane at me being pulled towards me, "And who are you?" I stare at him for a long time.
"To eliminate the problem for our team," I said, "And if you think carefully you should be able to remember me." He stared at me, and then I gave the order.
I watched has the members drag the people in the woods. I didn't know what happen, but I heard horrible screams that ripped at my soul. What have I done?
They all came back, without the people. I didn't ask what happened, because I didn't want to know. I gave them the next command to torch the place and they did it.
I watch as the place sank into the ground in the fire. Darkness had come; it had come and left no traces. Evil had now returned.
"Good job!" said Naps, "There shouldn't be a problem from them anymore!" Good job? Good Job? There wasn't any good in what I did. I wish I didn't, I wish, but it happened.
I just cried. I couldn't help it. I did the most horrible thing. I killed people and burned a place to the ground. There was no saving me. There was no way to save my soul now.
My brother didn't get why I cried. Nobody did. Nobody understood my pain. Nobody did. I wish someone did understand. But no one would, and no one would ever.
Author Note: I'm open to comments bad and good. I don't care. Just let me have it!
I also like to say to check out my other stories. Into the Darkness and The Secret of the Storm. They are my other works. See what you think of them.
Next chapter is my last of this story. It's sad to end so quickly but I have other important work to do, like homework.
By the way, I received only 2 reviews for the last 2 chapters. That's sad. When I reach a total of 16 reviews, I'll release my last chapter and end.
