Chapter 29: CEO


Point of View Stark

Zero and I were now walking down a long white hallway that didn't even have a single shadow in it and the white walls reflected the light off the ceiling and added a glow to the wall and floors color. In the hall were a few scientists in lab coats. Unlike the last lab only a few of them actually had on the blank human face masks. Most of the scientists who didn't have masks on actually appeared to look like normal people who would never get tangled up with an organization like Genesis.

Once we were half way down the hall we reached a set of doors and Zero pushed them open and held it for me so I could walk through. I walked through cautiously. We were now in a hallway that had only one big set of doors at the end. Along the walls of the hallway was plants mounted on the wall. Once we reached the door Zero didn't open it. Instead he knocked on the door and waited.

"Permission to come in sir" Zero said in a formal voice. After a few seconds of waiting I heard a beeping noise and the set of doors slowly opened on their own as if it was inviting us to come in. Zero didn't waste any time and walked into the room as I followed him cautiously. The room we were in had red carpet with gold accents on it. Along the wall was a huge book shelf filled with a variety of many different books, and on the right wall was a map of Kalos. In the back of the room was a huge desk with a huge TV mounted on the wall behind it and an office chair with its back facing us.

"We are ready to commence the operation sir" Zero said in a formal voice "Just so you know Stark I will be saying what I say through telepathy so you actually understand what is going on between our conversation. That is if you have a place in the conversation."

Shortly after Zero said that the office chair turned around and revealed a middle aged man looking at us, the man had on a pitch black suit jacket with a crimson undershirt below it and a black tie with red accents on it. The man had black dress pants which matched the rest of his suit perfectly. As for his face… the first detail that caught my eyes attention was the massive burn scar on the left side of his face. The scar only covered around one third of his face and stopped right before it reached his nose. His eye still appeared to be intact from whatever caused the scar but his eye was slightly discolored and had a dull white tone to it and his eye pupil was a dull gray color and the non-burnt eye pupil was a grass green. The scar went as far back to his ear and gave his ear a deformed shape and the burn went only a few inches higher than his left eyes and it went no lower than his neck.

As for the man's hair… he had a very, very short buzz cut that you could barely see and it almost made him appear bald. The man also appeared to have stress wrinkles on his forehead which made him look like a strict person that would have a short tempter and low tolerance for people who waste his time.

"Very well then let us begin" The man said in a deep voice as he got up off his chair and picked up a hat that you would see a mobster wearing. (Poke Pie Hat) The man then began walking towards the door we came through.

"Who is this guy" I whispered into Zero's ear as we followed the man down the hall we came from.

"That is the CEO of Team Genesis. You would be wise to address him formally. But some people who know him a little more and warmed up to him enough to get past being formal call him by the code name Ghost" Zero whispered back as we exited the hall that led to his room and entered the main hall.

"Why ghost" I whispered to him as we walked down the main hall of the base we were in, most of the scientists that were near us when the man with the scar on his face walked by quickly picked up their pace on the work they were doing and showed no sign of slacking off.

"He got the code name Ghost because no one knows anything about him and it's as if he doesn't have a past or life of any kind. No one knows anything about him other than he is a genius that runs this underground organization and he makes enough profit to pay everyone here an exceptionally good salary for their skills" Zero said quietly back into my ear.

After a few minutes of following him we came upon a door with a key pad on it. One of the scientists that was nearby then dropped what he was doing immediately and ran up to the door and entered in a numbered code on the key pad and the door slid open automatically. Once the door was opened the man stepped back and saluted Ghost as we walked through the door.

Once I entered the room I quickly noticed how much bigger this room was compared to the rest of the facility. We appeared to be in a big underground hangar of some kind. Along the back wall there was a few military grade jeeps parked neatly along the wall and in the center of the room there was a helipad with a helicopter directly on top of it. In the room there were a few armed men and some pokemon walking around. The pokemon in the room appeared to be in good physical shape and their species varied from arcanine, houndoom and many other species that could be dangerous in combat.

"How big is this facility" I said in amazement.

Zero just looked at me as if he wasn't surprised by my reaction "Team Genesis has some really big pockets. The facility you were just in was one of our smaller low budget bases. This place is Team Genesis main base" Zero said with slight pride as we made our way towards the helicopter in the middle of the room.

As we approached even closer to the helicopter I noticed a few armed soldiers holding military grade guns and they were wearing tactical vest with supplied attached to it. The men had those blank human face masks on their faces and one of the men then opened the main door to the helicopter and Ghost got in and took a seat on the bench in the helicopter. Zero made his way in the helicopter and looked back at me.

"You are coming with so get in" Zero said in an annoyed voice. I was hesitant about getting in since I still had no idea where we were going or what they had in store for me. Despite my suspicions I got in the helicopter which was now starting and the blades on top of the helicopter spun around in a circle at a high speed which created a strong wind outside of the helicopter.

Then I heard a loud beeping noise and I peeked my head out of the helicopter and noticed that the ceiling was opening up slowly.

"Ready for takeoff" one of the armed soldiers from outside the chopper said.

Zero then looked at me "Don't worry these men are actually paid mercenaries and not inexperienced like the scientists in amberette who were just handed guns.

"Great" I said sarcastically as I realized that was just going to make escape harder in the future.

After a few seconds of waiting the helicopter finally lifted off the ground and I then finally remembered how much I hated riding in ground vehicles and now I was in a helicopter. I instantly felt knots forming in my stomach but I tried my hardest to show no sign of weakness in front of the bastards forcing me to work for them.

"Where are we going" I asked Zero.

Zero just looked at me funny as if I asked a dumb question "I already told you, we are going to meet up with Mandus and have a little debate with him."

"No I know that. Why are we doing this if he is your enemy" I said in an irritated voice.

"He is our enemy but we have some loose ends to cover up between us and we are going to bargain with them before things get heated between our two organizations. And we are going to use you as a bargaining chip since they think you are on their side and not ours."

I gave out an annoyed sigh as he kept talking to me as if I was his pawn and I had no say in my life at all. Although in the end I didn't have any say and I was his hostage until I could come up with an escape plan.

Then a thought popped into my head. If I killed the CEO of team Genesis here then this would all end and I'd stop a lot of chaos from coming to this world and I'd save myself on top of that. I evaluated the area around me and observed my chances of actually surviving a battle between these soldiers, Zero, The CEO and probably a helicopter crash from a high altitude right after the fight.

"I see the way you are looking around and I'm going to tell you now that it won't work" Zero said to me.

"What won't work" I said as I played dumb.

'Was it really that obvious' I thought to myself.

"I can tell you want to kill us. Regardless of whether you kill us or not there is a person back at our base watching you from here and that person will kill you the instant you try anything" Zero said with a small smirk.

"And how can he see me. I don't see any camera's around here" I said in an intimidating voice.

"Simple, nanotechnology that we put in your eyes" Zero said as I became confused.

"Nanotechnology?" I said in a confused voice.

"We made your eyes blue for a reason. That is so we know that you have nanotechnology in your eyes. With that we can see what you see and along with some other things in your body we can basically see and hear everything that happens around you. You are under twenty-four hour surveillance by us and there is no getting out of it other than just doing what we tell you for now."

'Dammit' I screamed in my thoughts. If he was telling the truth then I was officially dead and I may as well jump out of this helicopter now and die before I do anything to help these bastards.


Point of View Black

It was now late at night and Alex was asleep hours ago and he was completely oblivious of the fact that I snuck out long ago. I was now behind the pokecenter with everyone who was involved with the Team Genesis incident from a few days ago. Flare, Gray, Kana, Hesh, Danny the annoying rattata, Ebony and Blue were all behind the pokemon center where Hesh usually stayed. Everyone was gathered up here right now because Flare and I told them that we had to talk about something extremely serious, which we did.

"Well why did you wake us up so damn late at night" Gray said in a tired yet pissed off voice as he let out a yawn.

I let out a sigh as I was about to tell everyone the grave news that may change all of their lives forever "Well obviously you all remember Team Genesis so I'll get straight to the point. Me and Flare both came to the conclusion that they are the type of people that will go to any length to cover their tracks" I said as I took a breath to continue my minor speech.

"Don't tell me" Gray muttered as I took my breath.

"We both believe that we are going to be on their list of loose ends to take care of" I said in a monotone voice that masked my depression.

"And how can we be sure that they are going to come" Ebony said in a shaky voice that showed she was afraid.

I then recalled the horrible things I saw at the Team Genesis base and I felt guilty for what a child pokemon was going to have to go through to survive "When I went back to the base we found some disturbing things. They executed every pokemon hostage in that facility just to cover their tracks and I don't think we are an exception" I said as my ears lowered and emotions rushed through my mind from remembering the horrible things in that video I saw.

I could see every ones faces become filled with different emotions. Gray sat there and gritted his teeth in anger along with Hesh who clenched his fist, Ebony looked like she was about to cry and Kana's face was frozen in shock. Danny was sitting their nodding his head in disapproval of what he heard and Blue on the other hand didn't look too shocked by what I said.

"I expected no less from people as low as them" Blue said as he nodded his head "Black is right though. Those people will be coming shortly and it would be wise if we were all prepared."

"And what would you suggest" Gray said in anger that wasn't particularly directed at the squirtle.

"Well obviously it would be unwise for us to stay in Amberette since they will be looking for us here. I would recommend that we all avoid staying in one place for too long and avoid giving out personal information and on top of that stay completely out of sight as much as possible" the squirlte said as if he had done this before.

"So what we just throw away our lives now and go into hiding" Gray snapped in anger.

"Well you and your friends are fortunately more lucky" Blue said.

"And how is that" Gray asked with a bit of anger still in his voice.

"I said that it would be wise not to stay in one area for too long, well you and your friends are already travelling around constantly since your trying to get the eight gym badges so you may be able to get by" Blue said in a reassuring voice.

"So we aren't in danger" Flare said in a relieved voice.

"No I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that things may be easier for you."

"What about Ebony, Danny and Hesh do we just leave them" I asked blue.

Then gray stepped towards me and I could see a vein bulging out of his forehead "What do you mean we? You are now going anywhere with us. Everything I've predicted about you so far has happened. You are dangerous" Gray said in a spiteful voice.

I just let out a sigh and accepted the fact that he was right. Everyone's life was going good without me. Except for a few individuals I saved "Yeah I'm sorry I know this is my fault to an extent and if you want me to leave then fine. But stop acting like I haven't done anything good" I retorted in slight anger.

"Oh what have you done for anyone" Gray said in an annoyed voice.

"Black saved us" Ebony murmured at Gray in a shy voice as she walked towards him in a nervous manner. "If Black hadn't been in there with us we would have never escaped. He came up with the plan and motivated us to not give up when we all lost hope on living" Ebony said in a louder voice that was filled with confidence now.

Gray just stood there with an agitated look on his face as he tried to refrain himself from yelling at a child. I on the other hand was shocked that Ebony didn't hate me. This whole time I felt like I was responsible for her sister's death and that the eevee would resent me. But now she was defending me.

"Whatever" Gray muttered below his breath as he rolled his eyes.

After a few seconds of silence Flare then decided it was time to speak "Anyways I'm all about a solution but I think everyone is just as much in this as the other and exiling Black is not a solution" Flare said as he looked at me with a small smirk on his face. I just smiled back since it felt good to have pokemon around me sticking up for me and reminded me why I wanted to stay with them before I left.

Kana then stepped forwards and looked at Gray "Everyone does have a point Gray. Black is a good pokemon and saved multiple lives. Would it really be the right thing to just reward him by exiling him away from us when it wouldn't even make a difference? The damage is already done" Kana said in a serious tone.

Gray just sat there and I could see his jaw trembling from him clenching his teeth so hard and it looked as if he was about to erupt with anger "Fine do what you want, I'll put up with him" Gray said quickly just wanting to get those words over with as fast as possible as he avoided eye contact with us.

"Why do you want me to stay with you guys when I'm the one who got you all into this" I asked in a slightly quiet voice.

Kana then looked at me with a cheerful smile "Because the damage is already done and we'll have a better chance of survival if we stick together."

"She has a point Black. You should stop resisting them and just be happy that you have friends to watch your back" Hesh said as he crossed his arms and leaned against the pokemon center.

"Are you sure this is what you guys want" I asked to double check that they were absolutely sure they wanted me around still. Flare and Kana gave a nod and Gray just rolled his eyes at me for the fiftieth time since I've known him.

"Thanks" I said with a small smile.


Chapter End
