Chapter 5

Questions

3rd person POV

"I'm not telling you anything!" Ethan said before the interrogator slammed his head into the tabel.

"You will speak only when spoken to, understand?" Zander reminded him from the back of the room.

"Hehe, you think you scare me, kid? Your father couldn't even break me, so don't act so tough when I know every little interrogation tip you two ideas have" Ethan mocked

Zander shook his head and threw a file as thick as a textbook on the table. Ethan opened it only to see his picture on the first page.

"Here's the deal Ethan, you are wanted for so many crimes in so many places that we could turn you over to the united regions and they would convict and execute you in 2 weeks tops, but if you help us we may be able to work something out." Zander offered.

"Piss off!" Ethan barked, knowing he was lying.

"We are planning to turn you over, but first we need everything you know, so either you tell us, or i'll take it" Zander threatened.

Ethan gave a crooked smile. "That's nice kid, but you mind games won't work on another psychic, I have barriers to stop any mind reading"

"I know, but you also know that with enough power I could shatter those barriers and take the info I need, It'll leave you brain dead but that's an acceptable loss" Zander reminded him.

Zander held out his hand, Ethan began to twitch and flail as he fought off the mind control. The pain got worse and worse until Ethan yelled " STOP!"

Zander lowered his hand, Ethan shook off the pain and said "fine, they hired me through anonymous wire payments, they call themselves The Order. I don't know what their plan is or how that disc works. All they told me was they needed the Simmons kids alive"

"That's it?" Zander asked.

"Um yea, i'm a mercenary, they paid the whole job in advance and I planned out the operation" he explained.

"How much did they know about the simmons twins?" the integrator pressed.

"Like I said, they didn't tell me much, all they told me was that they were shifters" Ethan admitted.

"Well then, thank you for your cooperation" Zander replied before turning around and looking at the one way mirror.

"Good job Zander, now prep him for transport" a disguised voice ordered.

"Wait, that wasn't the deal!" Ethan yelled as he flailed in the chair.

"You think we're going to give you leniency for that little information? If you're lucky the UR will find you guilty of only a third of your crimes and maybe give you life in prison" Zander said before uncuffing Ethan from the table.

Ethan began to cuss and yell only for the interrogator to put a collar around his neck. Ethan instantly felt weak, he fell to his knees.

"Weird isn't it, having all your powers taken away? That collar sends a jamming frequency via vibrations directly to your brain. As long as that collar is own you have no more power than a normal human." Zander explained.

Ethan was drug to the jet in chains. The collar on his neck, his legs bounded by a short chain and a pair of titanium reinforced shifter cuffs squeezing his wrists.

Connor was there as Ethan was led up the ramp by 4 MRPA agents.

Zander was about to board the jet when his father grabbed his shoulder.

"The director and I decided that you should fly above the jet cloaked just to be safe." Connor explained silently.

"Ok, but am I the only one who thinks this is overkill?" Zander asked.

"Nope, but this guy has escaped custody 4 times, twice from the MRPA." Connor admitted, clearly it was an unpleasant memory.

Zander dissolved into the background as the jet took off. Soon they had reached cruising altitude.

Within the jet the agents had their rifles on Ethan constantly. So much as a twitch and they would tranquilize him.

"So, not so tough now?" an agent taunted.

Ethan remained still, clearly they were looking for an excuse to knock him out.

Unbeknownst to the men in the back of the jet the pilot was dead. A man wearing a peculiar mask was now flying the airplane. The mask looked like a human face frozen in place. It had blacked out eye holes and an oval shaped slot in the forehead.

Two portals appeared under the soldiers. Before they could so much as speak they fell through the floor. Screaming as they free falled through the air.

Zander saw this and began a downward dive after them. They were falling fast with no parachutes. He poured more power into his wings. The ground was getting closer every second. At just 400 feet Zander managed to catch up.

"I'm gonna make a crash pad, stay calm!" Zander instructed telepathically.

The 4 agents continued to scream, understandably too scared to think or listen to a voice on their head.

Just as the agents closed their eyes they stopped. They were hovering a mere 3 feet from their death.

As they were gently returned to the ground the young skydancer Latios dropped his camouflage.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

The agents nodded but said nothing, clearly stunned at the legendary Pokémon in front of them.

"I've gotta go, call command!" Zander ordered before shooting back into the sky.

He came up on the jet and fired a luster purge, blowing open the jet's door. Within the opening he saw Ethan being unshackled by another robed figure. This figure has a silver mask rather than bronze.

"It seems we've overstayed our welcome" A calm female voice conceded.

Zander fired a luster purge once more, but Ethan and the masked woman vanished into a portal just before the jet exploded. A massive fireball lighting up the night sky.

Zander only had one though as he turned back towards base.

"I'm in so much trouble"...

"Thanks" Ethan said as he was given a new set of clothes and gear.

"Now that we got you out you need to answer two questions" an order member demanded

"Yes" Ethan asked.

"What did you tell them?" The masked man asked.

"I told them nothing they didn't already know, they know your called the order and that you paid me via anonymous wire transfer" Ethan said nonchalantly.

The man relaxed the stance, then continued saying "You'll help us for one more job, than you can walk away?"

Ethan chuckled "I owe you, so yes, what's the job?" He inquired.

"Good, you're helping us attack the United Regions summit" the masked man revealed.

Ethan raised an eyebrow and said "that's a tough one, I'll need resources and time if you want it done right"

"You'll have anything you need, we have the blueprints for the building and key cards but our window is closing fast, you need to have a finalized plan in 3 days" he explained.

"Well, you've done the hard part for me" Ethan complimented.
