Thanks Bladesurge for the review will try my best to fix my punctuation.
Chapter 42: Rules Of Engagement
The door swung open and covered both Rain and Frost. The two guards that walked in were indeed covered head to toe in body armour, initially surprised to see the empty room they both slowly crept into the room with assault rifles in their hands. Soon one of them turned to check his corner around the door frame and at the same time had his gun swatted away by Rain's hand, she followed up with a jab to the man's throat which made him drop on his knees.
Rain did this while also kicking her side of the door shut.
At the same time while the other guard got distracted by Rain's attack on his partner, Frost kicked his side of the door shut and strangled the other guard's neck with his tie before he could shoot Rain. As Rain knocked one out but kneeing him in the face after he dropped to his knees, Frost simply choked the other on unconscious.
The door was obviously locked by Spark remotely so the other guards outside couldn't enter and Frost took this time to take a breather as he inspected the unconscious body and said
"That's wasn't so hard."
"Speak for yourself Frost, you know how hard it is to kick someone in a skirt." Rain scoffed.
"Ten more guys to deal stay focused." Spark addressed to the both of them.
While Frost kept searching the body, Rain picked up the dropped assault rifle and spoke
"Well at least we have better weapons now."
"Ya but we can't just get into a gun fight with 10 people in a small corridor." Frost pointed out. "We need a distraction." he added as Rain tossed him a smoke grenade she got from her guard's body.
"Looking for this." she said as Frost just smiled and replied "You know me too well Rain." as he got up himself while holding the rifle in one hand and the smoke grenade in the other.
Rain closed the open windows.
"Well you know the rules Rain, we only shoot them if they shoot first." Frost said as he got into a more combat suited posture and pulled the pin on the grenade.
For the 10 guards outside when the doors opened all they saw was white smoke which was slowly starting to flow out of the room blinding them even further.
The Leader of the group stated his command "Lower your weapons men, new orders are to capture these two alive."
Rain and Frost's eyebrows furrowed because of this as they both stood hidden in the smoke.
The guards started to move in with batons and shields and Rain slowly pulled out an ultraball and looked towards Frost, he responded with a nod and almost immediately threw his rifle on the nearest guard's head.
"Samurott use Scald." Rain screamed as Samurott who was in the air just after being called out sprayed boiling hot water everywhere in the room.
As Frost started running back first, he grabbed Rain by her wrist and jerked her towards himself as he dove behind the manager's desk with Rain in his arms.
The spray of the move by Samurott was a bit of a Random one since he also was affected by the smoke so although the scald did deal with all the guards it also caught Frost and Rain as they were the closest.
Behind the desk Frost grunted in Pain as the hot water seeped in through his clothes and started to burn his right shoulder and Rain winced because it caught her left leg.
"Arceus Rain when you asked to use Samurott I expected something like Hydropump when did you teach him Scald." Frost asked still in pain.
"Ya sorry about that, a lot has changed in three years Frost, I suppose our teamwork is also a bit rusted." Rain replied in an equal amount of Pain.
When the Samurott finished Frost and Rain peaked out from the desk only to see all of the guards lying in pain because of the severe burns on their bodies, it wasn't a pretty sight but atleast they weren't dead .
Frost helped Rain up as they walked through the office room, Samurott realized that he accidentally hit Rain and Frost and had lowered his head in shame but Rain reassured him that it was an accident and was not his fault. Although the pokemon calmed down a bit after hearing that he still blamed himself.
"We should get out of here now." said Rain as she supported herself with Frost's shoulder.
"Yeah, dealing with 10 guys without Pokemon support was not a good idea especially now that we are not in sync." Frost said as he lent Rain the shoulder and they both started walking towards the lift.
The alarm had stopped a while back probably because of Spark, the kid wasn't the best fighter but he sure as hell was the best I.T guy in the Rangers. Just as both of them reached the lift Spark's voice filled their head
"Leader! Big sis are you alright I couldn't see you on the cameras." he asked in Panic.
"Don't worry Sparky we are fine just a bit burnt nothing serious." Frost answered as he looked at the time 10:45 AM to be exact.
"Thank God, you are fine but don't rest now there is a reinforcement team from Team Galactic waiting for you in the lobby, it's a group of 8 people, Pokemon trainers no visible weapons on them." Spark informed.
Frost looked at Rain as he said "Before we go down I want you to know that I can only provide support in Pokemon battles right now because using Ninetales is out of the question ,Greninja is out of commission due to his fight with Metagross yesterday, Noivern's not here and I only have Jolteon to spare."
"Don't worry Samurott can handle them." Rain replied as both of them entered the elevator and Frost thought
[This is gonna take a while.]
It was 1 PM when Cynthia woke up from her slumber as she stretched her body and rolled on the bed taking complete benefit of the soft blanket wrapped around her.
[This bed feels so nice...] she thought but soon realized [wait Bed? I swear I fell asleep on the table.]
With this thought in mind she woke up quickly as she confirmed her theory by looking at the table.
She saw her laptop on the table and knew she was right.
[I did sleep on the table so how did I end up here.] she wondered but then saw the undone couch and remembered another crucial detail.
"It was Frost!" she exclaimed as her face became red.
[He must have carried me in my sleep.] Cynthia summarized as she recalled the time he caught her in his arms when she jumped from the balcony of Canvas, the experience still fresh in her mind she remembered how firm his grip was and how safe she felt in his arms...
"Wait what am I thinking." she said to particularly no one as her blushed deepened and she burried her face in the pillow letting out a muffled scream saying "What is wrong with me!"
Truth be told she wasn't angry at Frost for carrying her to bed she was just embarrassed that Frost saw her in such a weak state. Cynthia was a proud women after all.
[Well it was my idea to let him stay the night so I can't be mad at him for tucking me in, I guess I will just thank him for it.] Cynthia decided as she walked into her bathroom to freshen up and go find Frost.
After this Cynthia sure took her time in deciding what to wear and after about half hour finally settled on the same brown top Frost picked for her when they first went shopping in Lumious city a few days ago and also wore black jeans and heels to compliment her top. Her hair was the same as usual but instead of a handbag she carried a small backpack on her back.
She left her room at around 2:15 PM with her Pokemon and some other utilities to go to Frost's room to meet him.
In the car coming back from the Shipping company were Frost,Rain,Samurott and Jolteon all Four of them were a bit worse for wear with Frost's shoulder the other hand Rain's leg was burnt and she had few cuts on her right arm and back. The injuries weren't bad with Frost but in her case were severe. Both of the Rangers had already removed their coats as they were just hindering their movement at this point.
"Well Rain I am not gonna lie it wasn't our best moments." Frost said as he was the one driving this time because Rain's arm was hurt.
Rain sighed as she replied
"Yeah we really need to start training together again, we pulled through with minor injuries this time, we won't be so lucky again."
"You didn't really need to take an Air Cutter from that Zubat, Jolteon could have handled it herself." Frost said with concern as he looked at Rain's back and arm still bleeding on the car seat.
"I could say the same for you idiot who told you to fight all the grunts there alone." Rain chuckled as she replied while looking at Frost's bruised knuckles.
"The plan was that you deal with the Pokemon and I deal with the grunts, so as far as I am concerned I was following the plan." he replied as they entered the Hotel's garage.
"I know but I couldn't just let Jolteon take the hit she helped Samurott a lot." Rain said in an honest tone.
Frost kept his hand on her hand as he replied "I appreciate the kind gesture and so does Jolteon but please be more careful." Jolteon purred in agreement from the back seat.
Rain smiled as Frost parked the car and shortly after reacalling their Pokemon helped Rain up before walking back to the lift.
Thankfully they didn't need to visit the reception area and could directly go back to the floor on which Frost's room was located.
They exited the elevator at around 2:20 PM and immediately walked to Frost room which contained the first aid-kit.
"I hate this Skirt, ahhh" Rain said as the pain of her wound got to her.
This made Frost hurry and enter the room amidst all this he Rain couldn't really close the door behind her properly as it was left slightly ajar, Frost also did not mind the door since treating thier injuries was the higher priority in hi mind.
True to her word the first thing Rain did was take her skirt off, thankfully she was wearing an underskirt leggings that didn't really give much to Frost to ogle at (not that he cared) she also removed her shirt allowing her to fully examine the extent of her injuries, Frost also did something similar as he took his own shirt off letting his burnt shoulder get some much needed air.
"Let's deal with your arm first." Frost said as he brought out the med-kit.
Cynthia had just reached the floor on which Frost's room was and she quickly made her way to his room, she was surprised at first seeing that the door was slightly open but what she saw next blew her mind.
As she peeked in from the small gap all she could see was Rain's skirt that was lying on the floor and part of her exposed back as Rain spoke
"Ouch Frost be more gentle it already hurts."
"I am sorry, I'll slow down a bit." came a reply in a voice Cynthia recognised.
[Frost... what...] thought Cynthia she withdrew away from the door.
[I did not know they had this kind of relationship, I mean it's only afternoon and didn't they have a mission in the morning, I mean... I mean ...how immoral.]
As such thought flooded Cynthia's mind her face was redder than a ripe tomato at this point but what was worse was this pain in her heart.
As she was about to turn to go as far as she could from the door she heard someone call her.
"Champion Cynthia good afternoon, how are you?" came a cheery voice.
Cynthia turned around only to realize the voice belonged Leaf.
[Alder's escort what is she doing here.] Cynthia thought as she calmed herself down.
"Champion you look a bit red are you alright, you don't have a fever do you?" she asked as she kept her hand on Cynthia's forehead as she didn't respond to her question.
Cynthia snapped out of her stupor as she replied "No no I am fine thank you for your concern." Cynthia replied in a hurry as she started to walk away from Frost's room's door.
"Oh Okay..." Leaf said slightly suspecting Cynthia's weird behaviour but ignoring it at the end.
As Cynthia took a step in the other direction she heard
"Oh nice the door's open."
Cynthia turned around and almost yelled "Wait don't...".
But it was too late as Leaf had already opened the door.
"Oh my god How many times have I told you guys to stop doing this after missions." Leaf scolded.
Cynthia's mind was having a meltdown as she could only imagine what Leaf was seeing.
"You guys should wait for me first." Leaf added.
"Huh..."
Cynthia's imagination went wild at what she heard Leaf said.
[What! two at ones.] she thought.
"Every time you guys do this there is blood everywhere." Leaf added which made it worse for Cynthia.
[Blood everywhere!] Cynthia repeated in her mind.
Her mind going haywire at this point, after all there is only so much a maiden's heart could take.
"Frost just stop stitching people, wait for a professional like me first." Leaf continued From inside the room.
[Stitching people... wait what.] Cynthia was about to faint because of her blush before she finally realised.
She grew the courage to peak in through the door only to find a not so naked Frost and Rain as she imagined with Frost fighting with Leaf for the sewing needle which was still linked with Rain's arm.
[Oh so he was only patching her.] Cynthia never felt so relieved ever in her life as the misunderstanding cleared.
Frost noticed her blonde hair peeking through the door as he spoke "Good Afternoon Cynthia did you sleep well, do you mind closing the door properly when you enter."
[Cynthia note to self, NEVER JUMP TO SUCH CONCLUSIONS EVER.] she screamed in her head as she just nodded without saying anything before entering the room herself.
