Chapter 43: Escaping from Team Rocket

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or Avatar the Last Air Bender, or Hades whom is Disney's version of him. I do own Kasumi along with most of her deck which is based off of Fire Emblem female characters and the four Titan Cards.

I don't know how long I had been knocked out by Chloriform but I finally came around shaking my head. Even when I came to I was still a bit dizzy my guess was from the after effects of the knock out drug. When I had I noticed my wrists were tied to a chair. Toph must've been also coming around as I felt I was tied to her back. I heard her groan a bit and I felt her hands touching my back. I blushed as she asks "Lady Kasumi...Is that you I'm tied too?"

Surprisingly our captors which were Team Rocket mainly Giovanni their leader didn't gag us and I answered "Yes, it's me Toph."

"Are Takara and my Sandshrew with us?" she asked.

I looked to see my pet Vulpix in a cage as well as Toph's Sandshrew "Yes...but that man caged them..."

"We must escape!" Toph told me trying to break her binds.

I began moving my own arms around trying to do so "Trust me I'm in complete agreement with you...Whatever Giovanni plans for the two of us...It's not going to be pleasant."

I heard a member of Team Rocket speak out "Yo, boss! Our prisoners are awake."

"Splendid" Giovanni told him.

I turned my head towards Giovanni and our eyes met. He actually was smiling at me as I gave him what I deem as my father's you'll pay glance. He smirked seeing me "Resisting me are you Signer?"

I never answered but kept my glance one him, one thing I learned in captivity is never give in to your captor if you can try to. Just showing weakness in your captivity to your captor was motive enough for them to continue on. Giovanni smirked as he puts his hand underneath my chin roughly even pinching my cheeks trying to get me to weaken at his mercy thinking I was just some other girl that would give in to such treatment. Oh, he was wrong...Wrong indeed, what he didn't truly know that I was the daughter of Yusei Fudo and Aki Insinki...However I kept my father's personality in this case, and from what I know from what my father would do in my situation...Oh he'd do the same thing resist completely and quietly wait till he could spring a bit of vengeance. I looked at him expression never changing and he smirked more "It's been quite a while since I ever broke a strong girl like you Signer."

Toph blinked "How'd you know she is a Signer?"

"Unlike that fool Daimon, I have done my research on who I'm up against" Giovanni answer he looks at me "And I also know your Psychic Signer...With powerful techniques that would make you rival just about any Pokemon..."

He made me look in his eyes "And one in particular I plan to break you for me to finally capture...I'm sure that young boy you were with Ash hasn't told you about him due to not remembering it, but I'm going to use you to capture Mewtwo."

"I will not cooperate!" I told him.

"Figures the daughter of Yusei Fudo would say that" Giovanni told me causing me to gasp, he certainly did do research on me if he knew that now, he heard me gasp as he continued "They say Fudos are hard to break...However eventually you'll give in Signer. Everyone has a breaking point and I'll exploit it from you."

Toph smirked "And how are you going to do that?! If Lady Kasumi's wrists weren't bound to me and the chair we are in...She'd easily cap you in one-on-one fights, and she'd fight you without a Pokemon and still beat your sorry butt!"

"I suppose that is true which there isn't any chance you or her will be able to free yourselves." Giovanni said "Plus there's always a way to break even the strongest person. For example..." he pauses walking over to Takara "What would happen if I drown this Vulpix of hers?"

"I'LL KILL YOU IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU TOUCH HER!" I snapped.

Giovanni actually smirked seeing that would indeed upset me "See? I've already found a weak point in you. You care too much about your friends and family even your pet. Regardless on what happens to you, you tend to careless about your well being then others around you...What does your father preach? The bonds with your friends? Such a selfish way of you to think of yourself that way. No life is above the life you have! Then again it's hard for kids like you to understand that!"

I looked at him defiantly "Only a fool like yourself doesn't fully understand the value of having friends! My father is a great man, he fought to unite the people of Neo Domino City, and Satelite, he even went up and defeated Zone whom foreseen a different time frame then what father hoped for. Way way different time frame...and like my father I too won't just sit here taking what you think will work."

"Oh we'll see won't we?" Giovanni asked me "I know you care more for your pet Vulpix then your own life...I could kill your pet by drowning her and other means in front of you to get you to break, but I'll save that for the last resort. There are many other ways to break you Lady Signer such as the first option...Torture."

He turned to two other members of Team Rocket "Take them to the torture room."

"Yes sir!"

Four other members of Team Rocket untied our hands but before we could move two strong hands grabbed onto our arms pinning them to the side and lifted us over their shoulders, to begin carrying us. As for me, one member of Team Rocket put a blindfold over my eyes knowing they had to contain my psychic powers. Toph and I are forced into a room each and were split apart with each of us standing besides each other arms in chains our legs suspended in the air for Giovanni knew the key to me and Toph Earth Bending was for our feet to be on the ground. I was still blind folded as Toph looks at Giovanni "Do your worst!"

"Oh I intend too blind girl" Giovanni said "First comes first, electric torture."

I hid a silent gulp that was luckily missed, not even Hades tortured me when I was his prisoner okay well he might've did that mentally to me telling me no one would save me but even then I still believed I would be saved. I tried looking in the direction of Toph as I told her "Stay tough Toph."

"Will try to" Toph admitted.

I heard someone press a switch and the chains Toph and I were in started crack with electricity. Giovanni turned to the Team Rocket employee that was in the room "Start at low power then make your way up to a point they can't resist screaming."

"Yes sir!"

I heard the sound of the button on the control panel be pressed and then the chains started shocking me and Toph. Both Toph and I must've bit our lips as the electrical current passed threw our bodies. For a while she and I were able to contain our screams of pain but I won't lie to anyone as this hurt. The electricity increased each minute becoming even more painful. Up to the point where I couldn't resist it and began screaming in pain. Toph was screaming with me.

"Give in ladies?" Giovanni asked.

"N-N-N-Never!" I shouted in between screams of pain "I'll never cave in!"

"That goes double for me!" Toph told him in between her own screams.

"Then this will continue until you both decide to obey my commands."

"We aren't you pets!" I shouted.

"Not yet you two aren't...But sooner or later you two will be!"

The Team Rocket member turned to his boss "Boss if you keep this up you could kill them!"

Giovanni looked at him "I know that! But I'll tell tell you when to stop. Just keep the voltage on high."

"Yes sir!"

He looks at me as I was screaming in pain. I glare at him trying to use my powers to remove my blind fold, this guy was making me angry at this treatment, oh I knew Orochimaru would do this to me if he was given the chance before killing me dead for resisting him. I heard another member of Team Rocket step up and spoke in a female voice "Sir, that Signer whom is Psychic...I may have a solution for her."

Giovanni turned to her "What is your solution?"

"I've done research in Psychics mostly in our prisoner's case sir...Her brain must be wandering at all times therefor Genjutsu or mental illusions are greatly effective on her as it causes major confusion in them. If we can cage her up and I can make a mental illusion drug that'll cause that confusion...I could then make a brainwashing injection drug that'll make her ours before she even knew what hit her...With her brainwashed like that she'll be obedient like a dog."

"Splendid plan" Giovanni told her "But neither of us have any information on how to produce this so called Genjutsu."

The female member smiled "No, but our Signer Prisoner knows what Genjutsu is and-"

I knew where this was going "I'LL NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING!"

The female member of Team Rocket smiled pulling out a Pokeball "Tell that to my Garvantula!"

She threw her Pokeball and out stepped out a big yellow spider which caused me to pail "T-T-T-T-T-Toph...Are you feet free yet?"

"negative!" Toph said "I've been trying to get them free...What is it?" she then sensed the spider "Oh...Crap...It's a spider...Great..."

The spider looks at me as the female member of Team Rocket ordered it "Spin a web around the prisoner."

The spider nods coming at me as I shivered in fear.

"Leave her alone!" Toph shouted "No fair using her fear against her!"

The female member of Team Rocket looks at Giovanni "I'm sure my Galvantula, boss will help me get the requirements out of our prisoner now."

Giovanni grinned "Good work" he turned to the member of Team Rocket that was shocking me and Toph "Release the Signer."

"Yes sir!"

The chains binding me to them suddenly gave way and I fell to the ground and tried to get back up to Earth Bend but then Galvantula tackled me pinning me to the ground and I now managed to remove the blindfold and saw it trying to throw the spider off me however it then shocked me briefly stunning me which allowed it to encase me in a silky cocoon. Once trapped inside it I felt the female member of Team Rocket dragging me off to no doubt an experiment room. Once inside the room, the female released me from the cocoon and I looked at her.

"Now now" She told me "Be a good girl and tell me all about Genjutsu."

I gave her a glare and she smirked grabbing me by my hair as while I was still stunned from the shocking Galvantula gave me earlier and started removing my clothes "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"Stripping you!" she told me "No experiment needs clothes"

I tried to resist but soon my clothes are removed and she tosses me completely naked in a cage. I glared at her angrily "You'll regret doing this to me when I get free!"

"Signer" The female member of Team Rocket told me "I won't...You see while your in that cage like an animal all you can do is sit inside it while the cage restrains your powers and abilities. Plus...You haven't noticed the Joltix which are in it."

I looked down around the cage seeing small yellow tick like creatures and wanted to scream. This was my worst nightmare at least one that wasn't a psychic vision come true...Trapped in a cage filled with Bugs.

She notices my expression "Sooner or later they'll crawl over that fine and beautiful body of yours and like most ticks will find a place to latch onto and then they will suck your blood out...Better start telling me all about Genjutsu so I can create one to inject you with."

In a sitting position trapped in the cage there wasn't much I could do but watch the Joltixs come close to me "STAY BACK!" I shouted at them trying to sound tough even trying to move my feet to squish one but in my cramped space I couldn't even move my legs which were in front of me.

The female member of Team Rocket giggled at my misery "Oh they'll stay back from you for now but eventually they'll see you are helpless. Now there is only one way out of that cage missy and that's when you are under our control...Better start telling me Genjutsu."

I looked worried at the Joltix which seemed to be taking my bait to stay away from me for now but I knew she spoke the truth, sooner or later they'd come at me. Still I looked at her "I won't cooperate and you'll have to start from scratch."

She giggled bringing out a needle "My thoughts exactly...Now I'm going to take a sample of your brain to study. Perhaps by studying that might give me some info to create that Genjutsu."

I watched her advance on me powerless and watched the needle come at my head. I tried to move my head away from the needle as best as I could but failed and felt it dig into my head. I screamed a bit in pain as I felt the needle gently poke my brain probing it. Once a microscopic probe was in it I watched she removed the needle from my head and turned to a computer which now had my brain on it well...Pictures of my brain I should say. She smiled "I may not have to get your answer on Genjutsu from your mouth but I have a way to read your brain and figure out what my answer is. Better hope you have good memory defenses."

I looked at her hating her knowing helped was arriving, oh I knew because I saw a small probe like device that looked like a small Wabofet which was acting like a drone. I stayed silent wishing to be freed out of this cage while keeping an eye on the Joltick, oh I didn't want those on me sucking my blood. Just normal ticks were enough to throw me off but these ones were bigger than normal ticks.

Meowth's POV

Thanks to James's suggestion, we had made a probe designed to go inside our former boss's base. You know the big reason why, Jessie, James and I had officially announced our days of Team Rokcet were over was because of the Lady Signer. She was so much alive, concerned for others, plus she helped save our world from Marik the Third whom seemed to be somehow connected to our boss Giovanni. Now as thanks in helping us see that and saving our world, the three of us gladly were on our mission to save Lady Kasumi and Toph. Right now we see what our former boss Giovanni was doing to Lady Kasumi. I was blushing as our boss had Lady Kasumi completely naked in a cage full of Joltixs...Oh Haku had told us the Lady Signer doesn't like Bug Pokemon and from her expression on her face I knew she was scared of the Joltick. James himself was blushing "Wow, for a ten-year old girl she has a decently good body...I want to bet her mother-" SMASH! Jessie had smacked James with a pot "You've had enough looking at our new boss like that! She needs our help! We can't be stalling just because her body looks beautiful to your eyes which I'll admit she does."

"Yes ma'am" James said still smarting from the pan smacking him in the head.

"This won't be easy getting her out of it" I said to them "But if we are to rescue them, it would have to be with their Pokemon..."

"Where are the Pokemon?" James asked.

"Most likely in the prisoner cellars" I answered.

"Shouldn't we go free Lady Kasumi first?" Jessie asked me.

"That would be a good idea" I admitted "But with all the Joltick around her, and a Galvantula...She'll need Takara to fry them...Plus that member of Team Rocket is a Bug Type User and the more Bug Types Lady Kasumi sees the more she'll be fearful. Plus, Toph has a Sandshrew which can dig underground!"

"Then" James admitted "We can use a tunnel system and pop out in that area Lady Kasumi is being held in.

"Exactly" I said "Quickly burst out of the hole underneath Lady Kasumi's cage and open it from the hole."

"That female member of Team Rocket will notice it though" James said.

Jessie groaned "If only that member was Cassidy this would be an easy operation...But it isn't."

"Nothing's ever impossible!" I told them "Let's make our new boss proud in saving her!"

"Do you have a plan to take on the female member of Team Rocket?"

"Distract her with Takara once we've freed her and then put our plan in freeing the Signer."

"How do we tell Lady Kasumi we're there and to not make a sound?"

"Leave that to me!" I told them pressing a button to scan the hideout "I'll enter through the tubes and find one that leads to the room Lady Kasumi is in then very carefully I'll give her a knock from above her cage and knock in a secret rhythm that she'll understand that we are here to save her."

"Why can't the others join us again?" James asked.

I answered "They didn't have a mode of transportation to this place as we do. Plus they are on their way to this area, it'll take about half an hour before they arrive. I promised Haku that we'd have Lady Kasumi, Toph and their Pokemon out by then. Then once we've met up with our new friends including the what I'll call them as Ex Twerps we'll combine our forces to get away one final time."

"Alright then" James said "Let's commence Rescue Mission!"

"Indeed!" Jessie said taking up a shovel along with James "Indeed the mission begins!"

"I'll meet you guys half way to help" I told them.

"Get to it Meowth, we're counting on you to let her know we're coming to save her and to let her realize the plan."

"Alright!" I said.

While those two are digging I make my way through the trees and enter a pipe to go inside the hideout. I quickly found a rout that lead from the roof. Once in the roof I quietly made my way around it listening to Toph screaming in pain due to being tortured most likely. I even saw the prisoner area where indeed Takara, and the Sandshrew were kept at. I made sure to remember this as this was the area James, Jessie and I were to get into ourselves. If anyone was to save Lady Kasumi it would be Takara and the Sandshrew which we would order to start saving Toph. Finally I come to the area where their main prisoner Lady Kasumi was being kept in a cage. As I get closer I heard the Team Rocket female speaking out "Her mind is sharper than I thought, it hasn't resulted in any explanation on Genjutsu, but sooner or later it'll tell me. How are you feeling Signer?"

"Why don't we switch places and you can tell me that answer" I heard Lady Kasumi's reply.

"Still resisting are we?"

I quietly made my way over to the area purposely tripping and making it sound like a brick had fallen onto the roof and damaged the hideout. The female member of Team Rocket gasped hearing this "What just hit us? I better investigate as it was on my end."

This was what I needed, I quickly sharpened my pace and saw the Lady Signer in her cage over an air vent "Lady Signer!" I said to her in a whisper."

"Meowth?" Lady Kasumi asked me.

"Yes," I told her "But I don't have much time to explain things so look up!"

She certainly did.

Kasumi's POV

Let me tell you something being in a cage naked, and surrounded by Joltick wasn't a great feeling. I had no choice but watch my captor study my brain on her computer trying to get info on Genjutsu. Despite this situation I wasn't going to tell her anything about Genjutsu. Suddenly as I was responding to my captor's latest taunt, we heard something hit the building. She went out to investigate and then I heard Meowth's whisper and looked straight up seeing him. "MEOWTH!" I shouted happily "I never would be so happy to see you...Unless you are back to working with Giovanni."

Meowth waved a paw underneath his mouth telling me to be quiet "I know you're happy to see me Lady Kasumi but now's not the time to shout...You'll give me away. Jessie, James and I aren't with Team Rocket anymore thanks to you saving our dimension. Anyway, Aang, Haku, Hanabi, Ash, Brock, Misty, May and Max are coming this way to meet you once we've freed you in half an hour."

"Swell!" I told him "But that's only if you can bail me out of here!"

"Please sit tight!" He begged me.

"Like I have a choice in the matter" I muttered sarcastically.

"I know you don't like Bugs but please sit tight" Meowth told me "Jessie and James are making their way to this place, we plan to tunnel underneath your cage and pull the cage under and free you that way. So you have to sit tight until that happens."

"Okay" I sighed trying to remain calm "But what about Toph?"

"After you're freed we'll head on over to there that is if her Sandshrew needs it."

"You plan to free Takara and Toph's Sandshrew?"

"Indeed, that'll be the sign to you in knowing Jessie, James and I are underneath you."

"Okay" I said "Good...But I have one request."

"Which is?" Meowth asked.

"TRY TO GET ME OUT OF HERE FAST!" I shouted looking at one Joltick which was advancing on me "Please!"

"No exact promises on how fast we can get you out of there but we'll certainly try" Meowth told me.

I nodded as he faded back out towards the exit. Once I couldn't hear him, I heard the member of Team Rocket come back "I couldn't find anything...Must've been a tree branch, or something."

She looks at me smirking "Still sitting tight?"

I looked at her swearing to kill her mentally once I got out of this cage. Sitting in a cage nude while waiting for ether her to inject me with a Genjutsu or to be rescued while in this sort of torture state was really getting on my nerves, but at least there was hope for me getting rescued. I managed to somehow move my hand to startle the advancing Joltick and caused it to move back a bit buying me a bit more time.

Meowth's POV

I made it out safely and joined Jessie and James. Like I promised them they were half way towards the hideout. Once I joined them we were making quick progress to get inside. As we are getting closer I could hear Giovanni our former boss having an important conversation back at our Kanto base of operations "I can't get back there right now. I'm in the middle of converting two new members to our cause by sheer force. If I am to do so, it had better be worth it."

There was a muffled reply and we heard our former boss shout "Cassidy and Hutch failed again? That's nothing new and not even worth my time!"

There was another response and we once again heard our boss sigh "Fine...I'll meet back with you in an hour or two. That should give me enough time to gain my two new willing recruits of Team Rocket."

We continued digging with James asking me "Looks like Lady Kasumi and Toph may become members of Team Rocket after all...Uh shouldn't we switch sides again?"

"They won't become members of Team Rocket once we free them you idiot" I told him.

We now tunneled in the base and found our way where the prisoners were held. Once at the area we poked our heads out carefully seeing ten Grunts in the room surrounding the two Pokemon waiting for the boss's single to bring the Pokemon to his new recruits. Unfortunately they wouldn't know what hit them as I turned to James and spoke in a low voice "Now James time to see what Haku's gadget he gave you does."

"Copy that!" James replied he reached for his belt retrieving the ball like weapon "Forgive me Meowth but I'm not sure what this does but if you say it's time to test it out then I shall!"

James tosses the ball out and it gets into the room. The Grunts notice the ball come from the hole and walk towards the ball completely oblivious to the hole.

"Someone lost a ball?" one asked the rest.

"No, we're too old to be playing with balls" was the response then, the ball exploded sending out sleeping gas which knocked them out.

"A sleeping gas bomb" Jessie said "How nice!"

"Indeed" James admitted as we get out of the hole and carefully sneak to the cages, and retrieved them.

"Vulpix!" Takara shouted at me.

"Hey now!" I told her "Team Rocket's on your side forever now!"

"Vulpix!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know you aren't believing me but you gotta, Lady Kasumi needs your help."

"VULPIX!"

"She's in a cage full of Bug Types naked. Poor girl is scared out of her wits!"

"Vulpix!"

"Here if I get you out of the cage will you believe me?"

She looks at me as I extended my claws and I saw her ready to breathe fire at my face if I tried anything funny but instead I surprised her by putting my claw into the cage's lock and the door opens.

"Vulpix?" Takara asked leaping out.

"See?" I asked her "We're on your side."

I then repeated the same thing to Sandshrew "Better get to help Toph out."

Sandshrew nods "Sandshrew!"

It began digging it's way towards Toph's area where she was being tortured.

"Alright then onward!" I urged my companions "Then we can do a new motto!"

"Sounds good to me!" James said "And for once one that's on the side of good!"

"Even a good excuse for a slight uniform adjustment!" Jessie agreed.

We finally arrived at the area where Kasumi was being held and we heard the Team Rocket member speaking out "Now we're getting somewhere, I knew those bug types would weaken your will eventually!"

I gave a nod to Jessie and James and the three of us nodded. I pressed a button and explosions sounded in the room filling with dust and debree.

"What gives?" The female team Rocket Member asked.

"Listen is that an evil doers voice I hear?" Jessie asked.

"It speaks to me loud and clear" James declared.

"On the wind!" Jessie declared.

"Past the Stars!" James declared.

"Delivered by the light of the Dragon!" I shouted.

The dust clears and Jessie reveals herself "Jessie!"

The dust clears more and James reveals himself "And James!"

"Meowth now that's a name!" I shouted.

"Whenever there's Chaos at a breakneck pace."

"Team Signer" James said "Is there to save the day!"

"Meowth!" I said "That's right!"

Kasumi's POV

Even when I knew what the explosions meant to be, I wasn't expecting this. I sat in my cage looking at Jessie, James and Meowth sweat dropping. They had just done their new motto which was the same as their last one except there were things differently specifically Meowth's Delivered by the Light of the Dragon, and James's Team Signer comment. I looked at my rescuers as they literally had the same Team Rocket uniform except they somehow had the Mark of the Dragon on their sleeves and a Big letter S on their shirt.

"Jessie and James?" the female member of Team Rocket asked shocked "What is the meaning of this?"

"Well" Jessie said "Let's just say we have had a change of heart!"

"We're here to rescue Lady Kasumi!" Meowth told her "And we intend to!"

"Oh yeah?" The female member of Team Rocket asked "You and what Pokemon?

"VUUULLLPPPIIIXXX!" Takara shouted unleashing her Flamethrower attack at the female member of Team Rocket.

"TAKARA!" I shouted glad to see my pet.

"Vulpix!" Takara shouted.

The woman growls but Jessie threw out a Pokeball "Seviper, Smokescreen let's go!"

Jessie's Snake like Pokemon appeared and unleashed smoke which blinded the woman. I felt Team Signer grab onto my cage and take me beneath the tunnel system and Meowth uses his claws to free me, a Joltick lunges at me as I rolled out of the cage into James's arms "I gotcha Lady Signer!"

"That you do" I muttered feeling him touch my breasts by accident.

He blushes too putting me down "Sorry!"

"Here you go Lady Signer" Meowth said giving me my clothes back which I blushed "Could you all turn around while I put these on?"

The three nodded obeying me and once I put on my clothes again, I look upward.

"Lady Kasumi..." James asked "We need to get going."

"Not before I get a bit of payback."

I leap out of the hole with Team Signer following. The female member of Team Rocket looked at me "So you're back to be tortured again. Galvantula, cocoon her up!"

The huge spider comes at me but I turned to Takara "Takara, take it out!"

Takara nodded charging forward with Quick Attack. It strikes the Galvantula head on causing it to stumble then she opens her mouth aiming it at both Galvantula and the female member of Team Rocket. Then she shouted "VVVUUULLLPPPIIIXXX!"

She unleashed her Flamethrower swiftly defeating Galvantula and burning the female member of Team Rocket "No!"

She tries to get away but I Earth Bended a rock which struck her in the back of the head. She falls stunned as I lift her up using my Psychic Powers to levitate her and have her look into my eyes. Once then I looked at her and she starts shivering "W-W-W-What are you going to do?"

"You stripped me, put me in a cage like some sort of animal...Threatened to brainwash me using Genjutsu...Poke me in the head to try to get that knowledge from me...Tormented me...There's only one thing I'd like to do and that's to kill you!" I shouted.

I lifted her up with my powers aiming a Gentle Fist to her heart while concentrating it to hurt her. She looked at me scared as I looked at her "But while that would make a nice example of anyone that does this stuff to me, it wouldn't make me any better than anyone else. So I won't kill you...However...Meowth..."

"Y-Y-Y-yes?" Meowth asked me.

I looked at the Team Rocket female "How hungry are the Joltick?"

Meowth looked at the caged Joltick "They haven't been fed for weeks...If they could feast on one's blood they might kill that person."

"Good" I said looking at her and now she gets what I was going to do with her "Now it's your turn to fear those Jolticks! You're going into that cage naked like I was!"

She tries to resist me but my powers quickly shred her clothes and I toss her into the cage where Meowth locks her in and she is hanging in the area. I turned my back towards her as she screamed as the Jolticks now saw this and advanced eagerly on her "P-P-P-P-Please don't do this! They'll kill me!"

"They would've done the same to me" I told her not even caring for once "As the law says, a life for a life. I would've never told you anything about Genjutsu so they would've killed me before you got any answer from me."

With the newly formed Team Signer and I left her hearing her scream as the Joltick must've pounced on her at once.

Now we were following the tunnel and see Sandshrew with Toph at his side. Toph was badly weakened but she ran over to me hugging me "You're safe!"

"I am" I told her "Did they get anything out of you?"

"No" Toph said "At least not word wise...However Sandshrew and I basically murdered them. What about your captor?"

"She's probably going to die by those Joltick" I told her "That she tried to use against me."

As we were not out of the area we are met with Giovanni whom blocked the exit. James, Jessie and Meowth were at my side.

"Lady Signer..." Giovanni said "You've escaped."

"That I've done" I told him getting into a pose "You've tortured me and Toph trying to brainwash us to do your bidding, luckily we had friends that came to save us."

"Friends that were once Team Rocket members" Giovanni told me "Which they can become high members of Team Rocket if they betray you."

"Never going to happen!" Jessie told him "Not after she saved us from Marik the Third!"

"Yeah!" James said.

Giovanni smirked "Fine, looks like I'm going to have recapture you alone Lady Signer."

"You'll try" I warned him building up my Psychic Powers "The way you and your cronies treated me as if I was an animal, some play toy in your sick game. It makes me sick! Sick enough to defeat you here and now. And to end Team Rocket!"

"Tough words girl!" Giovanni told me.

"She means it" Toph warned.

I concentrated my Psychic Powers and had then completely even out threw out my body, I raised my thumb to my mouth and bit it to draw blood out. I looked at Giovanni "I never thought I'd be doing this in another dimension...But I have no choice...Giovanni! Time to face justice that you and your empire deserve! Summoning Jutsu!"

With this I slammed my hands into the ground and a puff of smoke appeared. Lightning crackled from the sky and felt to Earth. Giovanni watches as seconds later ZEUS the Leader of the Greek Gods and Goddess arrived. Meowth's eyes were huge with fear. He turned to Jessie and James "Are you two glad that we agreed to be a part of Team Signer now?"

"We are" James said.

"Indeed...She just summoned a GOD!" Jessie said.

"Not just any god..." Meowth said with his voice trembling in fear "The Leader and arguably the strongest of all Greek Gods, Zeus of Mount Olympus!"

Zeus turned to me "Lady Kasumi! You're safe but..." he looks at my eyes "Those eyes tell me you suffered greatly..."

I nodded as Toph weakly joined my side "We were split apart from Orochimaru and winded up in this dimension, after defeating Marik the Third and defeating Daimon...We were captured by Team Rocket...Whom wanted to use us for their sick game...And they tortured us..."

Zeus looks at Jessie, James and Meowth "And these three were a part of it?"

"R-R-R-Relax oh mighty Zeus!" Meowth told him "W-W-W-We risked our lives to save her! Jessie, James and I are members of Team Signer! We're allies to her forever!"

Zeus amazingly nodding understandingly and he turned to me "Then who is the one you feel like justice needs to be dealt with?"

I pointed to Giovanni whom was now stepping back "Him! Zeus! He's the leader of Team Rocket! I want him and any other of his followers gone! Could you please...Show them all what happens to anyone that pisses me off and tortures me like that?"

Zeus turned to Giovanni advancing on the man and began to build up lightning "It would be my pleasure!"

Zeus towers above Giovanni with many other Grunts looking up at the God "You're type Giovanni are the worse beings on this planet! Torturing Lady Kasumi and her friend trying to get her to turn so she can help you on your sick quest? What have you got to say for yourself."

Giovanni looked at the God trying not to show his fear "Say what you want God! Many others will come for her as you must know! She's a hot spot for being captured."

"But never tortured like that" Zeus told him "And now Giovanni, because of your greed and wealth. You shall now feel my wrath!"

With this Zeus unleashes his lightning bolts. One after another lightning strikes many members of Team Rocket killing them on the spot. Zeus's fury comes down even harder once he added winds into it which destroyed Team Rocket helicopters. Giovanni had the clever idea to call his Rhydon on to absorb Zeus's Thunderbolt without damage. However I managed to turn to Takara "Let's help Zeus take Giovanni out...Ready?"

Takara nodded and I gave her a pill which Takara turned into me she began breathing fire as I summoned Earth and began spinning charging forward with Takara at my side I controlled both attacks forming it around me and my Earth armor body then we dove for Rhydon. Rhydon might've been a Rock Type which resisted Fire Type moves but...Ours was very hot on par of a volcano's lava. The poor Pokemon didn't know what hit it as we completely tear threw it and continue our path towards Giovanni shouting the attack "Volcanic Fang Over Fang!"

Giovanni tries to dodge but he couldn't and we take him in the leg, he kneels as we headed back but Zeus uses his wind to guide to get be able to strike Giovanni in his head dissolving his body instantly. When the damage was done Giovanni was no more and sadly neither was his Rhydon. More members of Team Rocket try to scatter but Zeus's lightning bolts find their marks with ease. Then with one mighty shout of anger Zeus literally blew the base up with Team Signer hiding in their tunnel for safety. When it was over they poked their heads out with Meowth whispering to James "Let it be known to us all...Never piss Lady Kasumi off to the point where she summons a God."

"Agreed!" Jessie and James said but James's comment sounded more like a whimper of fear.

Toph pats my back "There there, It's over..."

I looked at her "True we are free...But the emotional part of our captivity Toph is just beginning. It will take years to try to forget this moment."

"I suppose that's true."

Aang, Haku and Hanabi arrived but stopped smartly seeing Zeus. Ash on the other hand once he, Brock, Dawn, Lance, Misty, May and Max spotted Zeus and he turned to his Pikachu "Pikachu! It's a Pokemon!"

He fetches his Pokedex "I wonder why Pokemon he is..."

The Pokedex is pointed at Zeus and I got a chuckle at Ash's dismay as the Pokedex spoke out in it's mechanical voice "Not a Pokemon."

"That's not a Pokemon?" Ash asked "Then what is it?"

"Does the meaning of God mean anything to you Ash?" Max asked.

"Yes, an all mighty immoral being" Ash said still in his confused tone "What of it?"

Max sighs "Ash...What you are looking at is the Leader of the Greek Gods and Goddesses, the best God...The almighty Zeus."

Ash then gulped "ZEUS?! As in the God that throws Lightning Bolts at you to kill you?"

"The same one"

Ash gulped more nervous "What's he doing here?"

I answered "I summoned him to eliminate Team Rocket once and for all."

All eyes turned to see me with Toph, Takara, and Toph's Sandshrew at her side. Not only that Jessie, James and Meowth joined us.

"I see you saved her" Haku told Jessie.

"Of course!" Jessie said.

"What's with the S on your chest and the Crimson Dragon on your shoulders?" Max asked.

"We're not Team Rocket members anymore" Meowth told him "You're looking at Team Signer now! We're officially good guys forever!"

"It did feel nice having a good part in saving our new boss" James said turning to me causing me to blush "What?"

Meowth bows to me "Please, take us with you when you go back to your dimension. Lady Signer! We'll be eternally grateful. Plus now that Zeus destroyed Team Rocket means we don't have a motive to capture Pikachu anymore. In short life may get boring here just doing nothing."

I sighed "Just what I needed a gang of my own."

"If I remember correctly Lady Kasumi, your father was once a member of a gang called Team Satisfaction...Might be a good idea to take these guys along...You know they can be used for spying missions."

"Which we are good at!" Jessie said.

"Plus we can be good Duelists too!" James said "I'm interested in learning Duel Monsters!"

"Yeah! I want to be the first Pokemon that can duel!" Meowth said.

Despite my emotionally changed life at being tortured for once, I actually smiled "Alright, alright Team Signer, you can stay with me. Besides you might be able to do more good now."

"Thanks a lot!" Meowth said.

"We won't let you down boss!" Jessie said.

"Indeed" James said "We're with you."

I turned to Haku whom noticed me "Lady Kasumi...Are you and Toph okay?"

"On the outside...we're glad we're freed...On the inside though...It'll take some time to heal."

"And heal over time you will." Zeus said.

I turned to him "Do you know how to get back to our dimension?"

Zeus thinks on this "I may actually have a way. I seem to recall a strange warp hole in the next city...One days work from this location. I believe if you can find that warp hole you'll return to your dimension."

"Then that's where we'll be heading" I declared.

Ash nodded "Sweet! My next Gym Badge here I come!"

We were about to go when Zeus noticed the Mother Ninetails with the baby Snow White Vulpix "Hold that thought Lady Signer...There's someone that wants to see you."

I turned to see what he meant and gasped seeing the Mother Ninetails with her baby at her side. The mother walked towards me "Ninetails...Ninetails."

I turned to Meowth "What's she saying?"

"She says she wants to talk to you" Meowth translated.

I walked closer towards her with Takara following "What do you want?"

The mother Ninetails looked at me with her cute blue eyes "Ninetails! Nine, nine, Ninetails!"

I turned to Meowth whom translated it "She's saying first of all she wants to thank you for helping her out and protecting her baby."

I smiled kneeling down petting the Ninetails "Of course, no mother should have to worry about her baby. When I saw her that first night, she was scared. I couldn't let any harm come to her."

"Ninetails!" the Mother Ninetails said turning to her baby.

I watched as she gently bent over and picked up her baby with her teeth.

"Vulpix?" the baby asked her mother.

The mother walked over towards me and I somehow knew what she was asking me. She gently placed her baby in my arms "Ninetails! Nine, Nine!"

"I don't believe my ears!" Meowth told me "She's saying her baby is yours to keep."

I blink shocked "Please Ninetails, this baby is yours! It belongs to you! You need to bond with her."

"Ninetails nine!"

I looked at Meowth whom translated for me "She says the baby and her have been talking to each other ever sense Giovanni captured you and she was freed. She knows she's a mother but she also knows when a Pokemon wants to be with a Trainer."

"Nine, nine!"

"And apparently the baby has asked for you to take her, and seeing how gentle you are towards your friends even Takara whom you treat as a pet, she's says she's ready to give you her baby."

I took the baby Vulpix in my arms almost crying, mostly of joy but also sadness for this, if I accepted the baby there was a chance this mother may never see the baby again and it tore my heart up a bit as I asked her "You sure?"

"Ninetails! Nine!" Ninetails said shaking her head yes.

I pet her "Well if you are sure, I'll take her, and I'll take good care of her just as if I take care of my Takara."

The Mother Ninetails nodded walking forward and nudging me then she licked my cheek as if she were a dog as if giving me her thanks once again. She begins to walk away and turn to her baby almost smiling at her baby even though she was crying indeed at having to give her baby away but she willed it this time. The baby nodded as her mother began leaving.

"Now I need a name for this baby Vulpix" I said looking at the baby Vulpix "Takara...Do you have any suggestions of names?"

"Vulpix!" Takara shouted

I giggled at her suggestion "Of course! That's a perfect name for her..."

"What are you going to call her?" Ash asked me.

I smiled "I'll call her Snowflake!"

The Baby Vulpix let out a small giggle liking the name "And she likes it."

Zeus turned to me "Looks like you have two Pokemon now to join you on your quest Lady Signer. I better be off now that this is over, don't be afraid to Summon me again especially at that warp hole, I may need to energize it."

"Got it" I said to him.

With that the Greek God left as I turned to the others "Let's get going to the next city."

"Alright!" was the response.

While we were walking, I couldn't help but not feel happiness at what I had received, a second Vulpix, but at the same time I wasn't completely emotionally healed up. As we were leaving the area where Team Rocket's base was I looked at it thinking I will not let that happen to me ever again.

end of Chapter

Big one I know but Kasumi is saved, and she has her second Vulpix as planned. Anyway next chapter is Chapter 44: Double Battle Tournament P1: Along the way to the next city where everyone will depart, Kasumi and company come across Professor Rowan whom is organizing a Two-on-Two Battle Tournament P1. Kasumi determined to try her skills as a Trainer agrees with Ash to participate in Two-on-Two Double Battle Tournament, and the first battle is one we all been waiting for Ash vs. Kasumi.

Yeah as you can guess this arch is nearly over, with just this next arch being Double Battle Tournaments. Reason being I do want Kasumi to show her skills off as a Trainer a bit before moving onto the event. Interesting Battles you might want to see in Double Battle Tournament is well the one coming up Ash vs. Kasumi, even though it's practice for Kasumi to understand how to battle properly, it still is an official Pokemon Match between her and Ash as promised when I first made this main Arch with Marik The Third involved. Other battles in this arch include Misty vs. May, Dawn vs. Paul, Lance vs. Gary Oak, and even Paul vs. Kasumi in the Semi Final round and for the finals...Let's just say one of the opponents is Lance but I won't say who would be his opponent as I'd like to keep you guessing.
