Tales of a Galactic Commander pt 4
-One week has pasted since chapter 3-
Rain clouds covered the skies over Veilstone City, Dustin Mercury Berlitz, also known as Commander Mercury, was fast asleep in his soft bed dreaming up the memory of him kissing Cherry Silph. Until a single grunt burst into the commanders saying "Commander Sir, Mars, Charon and Jupiter has returned to HQ. Master Cyrus has also called an emergency meeting." Mercury, who is unfortunately wide wake, let out a huge sigh and got up form his comfy bed. He let out a long yawn before looking at his clock for the time. Without looking at the grunt, he told him that he got the message and that he will meet them in the usual place. The grunt gave Mercury a quick bow and then he was off. Mercury, who was still sitting on his bed, quickly thought to himself about his so called dream, he couldn't tell if it really happened or if his imagination is getting the better of him. Mercury quickly got dressed and headed for Cyrus's office, on this way there he noticed a bunch of the grunts talking to each other, Mercury stopped for a split second, then he swiftly walked one of the grunts and asked about what's going on. She told him that everyone's saying that Mars and Jupiter were overpowered by a bunch of kids. Mercury smirked at the idea of both Mars and Jupiter being defeated by some kids and then he continued his way to the meeting. As he entered the room he saw Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn talking to each other while Charon was entering something into the computers. Suddenly Charon noticed the Mercury entering the room and said, "Well what do we have here, it looks like we have company." "Charon if your going to say that every time I come to a meeting I will make my Metagross use psychic on you and throw you out the nearest fucking window." said Mercury with a evil glare in his eyes. Everyone stopped and looked at Mercury, for it was the first time that they have ever heard him swear. Mars and Jupiter both say to Mercury at the same time "Hey Romeo how's your girlfriend." After hearing what the girls said Mercury gave off a puzzled look. Saturn walked up to Mercury and he gave him a small piece of paper, Mercury snatched the paper out of his hands and took a long look at it. It was a picture, but not just any picture it was a picture of Mercury kissing Cherry back at the Old Chateau. Mercury was shocked but on the other hand reified knowing that it wasn't a dream after all. Saturn patted Mercury's back while saying "wow just wow man, I must say she's a cutie, how did a complete loser like you managed to get a kiss form that cutie." after saying that Saturn started laughing while patting Mercury's back.
SMASH
Before anyone knew what had just happened Saturn was down on the ground with blood gushing out of his skull. Everyone quickly turned their attention to Mercury, who had Saturn's blood dripping from his fist. "How did you like that Satty-boy, now stop with your shit and start showing me some respect or this with become a part of your daily schedule, do you get me you pathetic piece of shit." Mercury said while wiping Saturn's blood off his fist. Mars told Mercury how they got that picture, apparently one of the grunts that went to Entra City with Jupiter was scouting the forest when she saw him helping out his friend Cherry and eventually kissing each other, so she took a picture and quickly returned to Jupiter. After hearing this Mercury demanded that no one will ever talk about this again. Strangely everyone agreed, maybe it was the fact that he had punched Saturn so hard that he cut open his head, or maybe it was because of the look in his eyes as if they were about to catch on fire. Suddenly Cyrus entered the room, before starting his speech he noticed Saturn, who by this point was knocked out due to all the blood that he lost, was on the ground but he really didn't care much about it. "I am sure you have heard the rumours that are floating around the base that Mars and Jupiter were beaten by some kids, unfortunately it's true, but we have figured out the two who would oppose us." Cyrus said in a bland, I don't care manner, "the ones who oppose us are, a young boy who hails form Twinleaf Town by the name of Lucas, and our own Mercury's cousin, Dawn Berlitz." Mercury couldn't believe it, his own cousin was now an enemy of Team Galactic. Cyrus continued "I want all of you to eliminate those kids no matter the cost, also I've heard that an Interpol agent was spotted around the city, so be careful. That is all" and with that Cyrus left. Mercury, who was about to faint at the idea of eradicating this only cousin, walked over to Saturn and helped him up, and headed for the cafeteria with a blank expression on his face.
Later in the cafeteria, Mercury was sitting at one of the many tables, which are all filled with grunts due to the fact that it was the lunch hour, alone poking his Jell-o desert when Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn sat down right beside his with their trays filled with their lunches. Mercury didn't say a word or even looked at the other commanders. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn started to eat there lunch when Mercury said with a sad expression in his voice "Saturn, I'm sorry about your head it's just that you've been really pushing my buttons ever since I joined." Saturn, whose is all healed up from the punch that was received form Mercury, told him that he will start treating him more like an ally, after hearing that Mercury a quick smile than when back into his depressed state. "Your thinking about your cousin aren't you, listen we have more important thing to deal with Interpol is now on our asses, and I don't think those kids are so important that we must eradicate them." Jupiter said while trying to cheer up Mercury, "we're not going to start killing kids just because they're interfering with our plans" Saturn added, "as long as we all get stronger they wont stand a chance against us, and then we won't have to kill them," Mars added. Mercury thanked them and just as he was about to start eating his desert a grunt busted into the cafeteria yelling out "It's them, the kids that Master Cyrus wanted dead, they are at the warehouse battling the guards!" Mercury quickly jumped out of his seat and quickly ran out of the building and headed towards the warehouse.
