Chapter 43: The Island

"Glad you all are here now," said Ronjad to Ash, Melody, and Lovrina when they came to him at the shack, "But you could have at least hurried here." Ronjad had called his team to the island to start on the search for answers out here. They were outside the shack on the edge of tropical forest and near the cove.

"We did," said Lovrina, "We didn't know where the hell you were on this huge island."

"Ok," said Ronjad to the all, "I decided we needed to do some more searching now that there are possibly more hybrids. I want Ash and Lovrina to start looking over this area. Melody and I are going to track down where Jessie and Blue are being sent to."

"This is different teams then usual," said Ash to him.

"I thought we switch it up a notch this time around," said Ronjad, "I mange to put on tracking deceive onto Jessie before she left. So Melody and me will see you two later." Then Ronjad and Melody headed back towards the town.

"So what's the plan?" said Melody to him as they walked down the beach, "I mean the guy isn't going to let us come with him to this island."

"Right," said Ronjad, "We'll follow the tracking and if we comer across the boat heading to this island we'll follow from a distance. Then come ashore when it's safe for us."

"Let's do it!" said Melody, "Lovrina, Ash, and me left the boat parked on a dock near the bait shop in town."

"How long now?" yawned Melody to Ronjad who was driving the boat. She sat slouching in her chair as Ronjad steered the boat through the darkness guided by the GPA. Night time had fell on them and the only light came from the boat, GPA, and the stars.

"We are almost there," he said looking at it, "The island is coming up. This place isn't even on the map, it's an uncharted island."

"Only because someone is paying off the police and government from revealing the location," said Melody, "I have been meaning to ask you something for a while now."

"Sure," he replied in the darkness of night, "What is it?"

"You graduating from college at the age of 12," said Melody, "What was it like."

"It doesn't feel weird," said Ronjad, "It just means that I'm smarter than the normal teenage or adult. You know, schools from across the world asked me to teach or appear for their class. I have been all around the world a lot. That's how I meet Sakura and Madison. While teaching at one of the schools out in Japan, it happened to be their own school. I visited them twice after words and brought Sakura and Madison out to Jotho where I decided to appear and teach science for one quarter at Alto Mare. That's where I meet Bianca. She was a student who took one of students who took my science lesson."

"Hmm," said Melody, "How about Pan, Josh, Kait, Casey, and Blue?"

"Pan and Josh parents were friends of my family," he continued, "They came out to see me off at Vermillion City before the fate full trip on the boat. Blue was a runaway/Pokemon trainer who was trying to make it out on her own because her parents abused her. Casey I meet at Alto Mare when I was hiding from Cipher. Kait was a trainer taught under Clair of Blackthorn City and I meet her in the Dragon Den when were she was mediating."

"You meet the most interesting type of people around," said Melody, "You must of influence them a lot for them to follow you out here."

"Let me think," he said, "Sakura and Madison came because I helped them escape from death in their town when a dangerous threat appeared. Bianca came because I helped her over come something. Pan and Josh came because they were happy to see I was ok and were great friends. Casey wanted to bring her baseball cheer out farther. Blue came because I gave helped her over come some of her fears and gave her some things to live on her own. Kait wanted to live a life out of hard work and obedience."

"So you leave a big effect on people?" said Melody.

"Right," said Ronjad, "Anyways, we have arrived at the island." The headlights on the boat flashed on the dark outline of the island.

"I'll be turning off the lights and using a flashlight now," said Ronjad to Melody, "We don't need to be caught."

"Hey!" she said after the lights went out, "What's that glow over there?" A red and orange light brighten through the thickness of the trees and plant life.

"I'll check it out," he said, "We'll have to paddle over to avoid attention on ourselves. So could you turn off the engine for me?"

"Look at that!" said Melody pointing out something when the paddle towards the light. They were in tall weeds poking out of the water blocking them from being seen.

"Better use this," said Ronjad pulling out a pair of binoculars. He focused on the beach and saw a crowd of people standing on it. He saw at least 10 unknown people to him, but two of them he knew. They were Blue(boy) and Jessie standing in the middle next to a bonfire. Then came out a smaller person, but it was he who shocked Ronjad. He had brown shaggy hair, green eyes, and was around his age. He wore a black collared shirt and tan shorts. It was Joe Soul

"That's Joe!" said Ronjad passing the binoculars to Melody allowing her to see Joe, "He's the one wearing the tan shorts and black collared shirt."

"Everyone!" shouted Joe to the people, "We happy to see our lost brother, Blue, and lost sister, Jessie to see that they have return to us."

"You can't stop me from leaving again," growled Jessie at him.

"They were lost and now are found!" continued Joe, "But they went a stray from the pack. No one is to go a stray from the pack. When you do that, you ruin the pack, you dismantle the pack, and kill the pack. No one is to go alone and now you'll see why no one is to go alone." He pulled out a small handgun from his pocket and shot Jessie in the head. Blood rushed out fast and she dropped to the ground.

"NO!" shouted Blue running to her side, "YOU MONSTER, WHY?" Joe said something and aimed and shot Blue through the heart. He dropped dead along side Jessie. Everyone was horrified.

"Now you see the consequences of going alone on this journey we are suppose to be doing together as one," said Joe, "Let this be a reminder to all of you." Then he and everyone left the beach and disappeared into the jungle.

"Oh my God," was the only sound that was heard that came from Ronjad or Melody, or just about anything that night.

"What grizzly sight," mumbled Ronjad to Melody about Jessie and Blue. They had came ashore on another part of a beach and came to the dead bodies and all the blood that had soaked into the sand.

"That sicko!" said Melody hugging Ronjad, "Why would he do that?"

"I don't know," said Ronjad, "But he sounds like he is planning something big with that pack talk last night. We need to find out what."

They walked away from the bodies and the smell coming off them. Ronjad had his gun in his hands and led the way through the thick jungle brush. They walked for a bit and came up to a small clearing. A huge building with a gigantic satellite was in the middle. The building was a warehouse with a bamboo ceiling and steel for walls.

"I wonder what is inside," said Melody looking at it. Then she saw that Ronjad was already half way towards the building and out in the open.

"Wait for me!" she shouted to him, "Don't leave me alone out here!" They walked inside the place, the light was very dim and the floor was cement. There were a few computers set up and a huge screen on one side of the wall.

"Maybe we should call for backup?" said Melody to Ronjad, "You don't know how many whack-jobs are on this island with Joe."

"That would blow our cover for everything we done with the alien projects and hybrids," said Ronjad to her, "It also might expose Misty and your sister as hybrids themselves. Do you want to see them get hurt?"

"No," sighed Melody, "But what's with the screen?" Ronjad looked at the screen. It showed a large red swirl on the screen heading towards a version of the Orange Islands.

"That's one of those weather things that tracks storms they use on the Weather Channel I think," said Ronjad, "That looks like a hurricane heading towards the islands."

"Another storm?" she squealed, "More orange lights could be coming."

"What a better way for an invasion to come," said Ronjad, "Ride in with a storm as cover. I bet Joe is a hybrid too. He probably wants this to happens so there are more like him. But why?"

"A takeover by aliens?" suggested Melody, "To destroy the human race and have the hybrids a dominate species maybe?"

"Let's hope your wrong," said Ronjad, "Let's get out of here."

"Hey!" shouted Melody when she and Ronjad reached the clearing near their boat, "Where the boat go?"

"Is that it way out there?" said Ronjad pointing far into the ocean. Melody took the binoculars from Ronjad and looked into the ocean. At least a mile away, the boat was floating farther and father away.

"Shit," mumbled Melody, "How are we supposed to get off this crazy island?"

"Maybe we can find a boat on this island," said Ronjad, "After all; they do need a way off this nut filled island."

"But where?" said Melody.

"Let's look around," said Ronjad, "Nobody as seen us yet."

Just then, the loud booming voice of Joe came over an over speaker system, "Attention all! We have confirmed sighting of a foreign boat that has come on the island. The two passengers, a boy and a girl have been sighted coming on the island. Meet them with extreme forces. They will not escape alive."

"I think we over stayed our welcome," mumbled Melody, "Let's find a way of killer island." Ronjad pulled out his magnum and tossed Melody an H&K VP70.

"We are probably going to run into hostile forces now," said Ronjad tossing Melody some bullets to load the gun with, "This thing only holds 3 bullets. Use it wisely, because I only have 6 more bullets for it."

"There is no easy way off this crazy island," said Melody loading the gun.

Melody and Ronjad ran up to a dock with a speedboat parked along side it. But there was three men with shotguns. After a hard gun battle, they jumped aboard and took off back for Shamouti Island.

Ash and Lovrina meet them back at the motel. They both talk about what happened to each of them, when an alarm went off. Someone was breaking into the jail.

They all headed towards the front door where a girl with long black hair with two ponytails was facing the doors.

"Freeze!" shouted Ash at her. She slowly put up her hands and she sighed.

"Turn around slowly!" ordered Lovrina at her. The girl was still for a few moments and slowly turned around. It was Meilin.

"Hold your fire!" said Ronjad, "She's not an enemy."

"I have a cure," she said slowly, "I believe you have a need for one? Am I right?"

Author Notice: Sorry about the wait. Something on the web site was blocking me from adding the next chapter.

Poll Question: What's your favorite game series? No need to answer it, but it's just nice to know what other people think.

Only 7 more chapters left until this story has ended sadly. But remember that The Underground Quake follows where this story will left off.

The next chapter isn't probably going to be as exciting as most my story as been, but it is important. The cure for the Alien Signal is created and given to the infecteds that are held captive.
