Tales of a Galactic Commander pt 8

Dustin Mercury Berlitz, also known as Commander Mercury, was returning to HQ after capturing Mesprit at Lake Verity and is now planning on helping the other commander see the error of their ways and help him bring down Team Galactic.

As the helicopter landed Mercury quickly got out of his seat and walked off the helicopter he was greeted by a small group of grunts. They gave him a small piece of paper, after a quick glance at it he asked the grunts what it was. They told him that it was an invite to party that was happening tonight and it was being held in the auditorium.

"A party?" he paused "Does Cyrus know about this?" Mercury said

"Commander Saturn said that Master Cyrus said it was ok" said one of the grunts just before small group walked over to Mars to tell her about the party. "This doesn't seem to add up, why would Cyrus throw a party? O well it might be the only chance for Looker and I to hack into the main super computer, and while we're in the super computer I might as well delete all the data about me." Mercury said in his mind. As Mercury walked into the building he noticed Saturn walking around with a small PDA in his hand, so Mercury quietly snuck up behind Saturn and yelled out boo. Saturn jumped and quickly turned around and kicked Mercury right in the crotch. Mercury fell down to the ground crying with both hands between his legs.

"Mercury, o my god I'm so sorry I didn't mean to are you okay?" Saturn said while he had his hand over his mouth.

"Okay? OKAY you just fucking kicked my balls, what the fuck do you think, you jackass." Mercury said while crying in pain, Saturn reached down and pulled Mercury back to his feet. While being pulled up from the ground he noticed that Saturn dropped his PDA, and on the screen said something about tonight. But before he knew it he was back on his feet, Saturn apologized for kicking him, and without any hesitation he grabbed his PDA off the floor and quickly ran off. Mercury started to slowly walk back to his room. Meanwhile, Saturn was hiding behind one of corner walls of the hallway and he said to himself "If he knows I'll have to kill him."

As Mercury entered his room he noticed a small box on his bed, he went to it and picked it up, on top of it was a tag which said on "a present from Interpol". Mercury opened the box and inside it was a cell phone. He reached into the box and pulled it out, and then in an instant it started to ring. Mercury freaked out for a bit until he decided to answer it.

"Hello?" Mercury said in a nerves voice.

"Dustin, it's me Looker. Interpol has just given us the order to arrest Team Galactic."

"Wait how did you know that I opened the box?"

"I was ordered to put cameras in your room."

"WHAT! You bugged my room; didn't I tell you that I was going to help you?" Mercury freaked out for a bit, while searching for the cameras. Eventually he found all the cameras in his room and threw them out the window. He continued to talk to Looker over the cell phone,

"Back to business, Dustin at 9:30 pm the two of us will hack into the main super computer and steal all the data that Team Galactic has gathered, any questions?"

"Ya, just two, why 9:30 and how in the name of Arceus are we going to hack into the super computer. That thing has over fifty passwords and I don't know any of them."

"We're doing this at 9:30 because every grunt and commander will be at the party by then and don't worry about the super computer I've got everything plan out, just make sure that you get there by 9:30."

"Fine I will, Mercury I mean Dustin Berlitz out." and with that Mercury turned off the cell phone, made himself a nice warm cup of tea and walked into his washroom and had a nice long bubble bath. At 9:15 pm Mercury grabbed his jacket and his pok balls off his bed then walked out the door. As he walked in the halls he noticed that all the grunts were headed to the auditorium for the big party. He tried his hardest not to get spotted by any one, until he finally reached the doorway to the super computer. He waited for a while until he saw Looker, who wasn't in the Galactic grunt costume that he gave him, running towards him.

"Are you ready for this?" Looker said, Mercury gave him a nod then the two of them went towards the door but it didn't open. Mercury touched the door only to find that some one locked it from the other side.

"It's locked from the other side, how are we every going to get in?" Mercury said to Looker

"Were going to have to use your head," Looker said, then suddenly he picked Mercury up and flipped him 90 degrees and ran to other end of the hallway.

"What are you doing Looker let me go." Mercury said while panicking.

"Let's just say this is your punishment for joining Team Galactic" Then Looker charged towards the locked door.

"I don't want to use my head" Mercury yelled out right before his head slammed into the door. The door opened up, while Mercury was yelling in pain, then Looker dropped him onto the floor and walked into the room. Mercury quickly got up from the floor and quickly followed him into the room. As he entered the room he noticed someone was sitting in front of the super computer trying to hack into it, and he immediately knew who it was, it was Saturn. Saturn looked up and saw Mercury and Looker; he quickly jumped up and reached for his pok balls.

"Mercury what are you doing here shouldn't you be at the party, and who is that guy? Saturn said while panicking and trying to grab a pok ball.

"Saturn I don't want to fight you anymore just let me into the super computer so I can stop Cyrus." Mercury yelled out

"You're trying to stop Cyrus too, well then that changes everything. Cyrus will destroy everything that we care for, for what a universe with no spirit. To me that's just stupid." Saturn said while he slowly walked towards Mercury.
"I know Saturn, that's why Looker is here, him and I have been working on bringing Team Galactic to justice."

"So you your helping an Interpol agent bring Galactic down. So what now, are you two going to throw me into a small room and lock me away?"

"Yes unless you can help us hack into the computer and let us get the data that we need. I'm sure my bosses can let you off a bit easier" Looker said with a smirk on his face.

"Fine, I already hacked into the computer the data is all yours." Saturn said to Looker while walking toward Mercury and the door that's behind him. He grabbed Mercury and pulled him out of the room. He pulled him far away from the computer room and said.

"Don't worry Mercury, I have already deleted all the data about Mars, Jupiter, you and I, but there's still one thing remaining. We need to convince Mars and Jupiter to quit Team Galactic. So why don't you talk to Mars and I'll talk to Jupiter."

"Why do I have to talk to Mars?"

"Because she kind of has a thing for you, crap Mars told me not to tell you."

Mercury was shocked he didn't know that Mars had a thing for him; it's true that Mercury "liked" her for a while but he thought that she didn't care for him.

"Fine I'll talk to Mars and you'll talk to Jupiter. Lets meet at my room afterwards so we can tell each other how we did, ok?" Mercury told Saturn. Saturn gave him a nod then the two ran off in separate directions looking for the Mars and Jupiter. The first place Mercury went to look for Mars was the party, he saw all the grunts dancing and having fun, and in the huge crowd he saw Mars. He weaved through the crowd until he finally reached her, she was swaying back and forth and by the looks of things she might have been a little drunk. Mercury talked to her for a while trying to be as subtle about making her quit Team Galactic, but there was no luck she was truly dedicated to Galactic. Mercury left the party and headed to his room hoping that Saturn was able to convince Jupiter to quit. As he approached his room he saw Saturn dressed in Sailor Saturn costume. Mercury started to laugh, and after he was done he asked Saturn what had happened.

"Well let's just say that, that's the last time I ever ask Jupiter to quit Galactic while she's watching anime." Saturn said while well you get the big picture.

"Well look at the bright side Saturn, nothing else can go horribly wrong"

Suddenly an announcement can on over the PA system.

"INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, TWO KIDS HAVE ENTERED THE BASE."

"Well Fuck" Mercury and Saturn said at the exact same time.
