Chapter 2: A True Friend
We sat in the cell, as usual, no one said a word. The silence was unbearable, but neither of us could seem to break it, but it eventually subsided when we heard the Brutes moving towards us, "Seems that one of us will be next," I guessed.
Leo nodded and sat up as the guards walked over to the cell, "Both of you worms, come with us!" both of us were in shock, we had no idea our fight was going to be this soon. I almost wanted to resist, but I knew it would be suicide. We both took deep breathes and let the guards take us to our positions.
"Ah, and here are the demons now!" the golden Elite in the pillar overlooking the stadium announced as the crowd went into an uproar, "Go ahead maggots, when you're ready!" Leo and I looked at each other with worry, but we knew what had to be done, as I threw out my Charizard as his Skarmory appeared.
I took another deep breath and shut my eyes, when they opened back up I ordered the attack, "Okay Charizard, let's make this quick, use Flamethower!" the dragon hesitated for a split second, but agreed and unleashed a stream of fire from his maw, but Skarmory saw through the attack and easily dodged.
"This one's going to be tough," Leo grimaced, "Skarmory, use Rock Slide!" the steel bird kawed loudly as white portals appeared in the sky and slammed around the now flying Charizard who barely dodged.
I gritted my teeth, "Damn that was close, Charizard, use ThunderPunch!" the dragon roared in agreement as it slammed and electrified fist into the bird that made it shout in pain, "Good, now follow up with FirePunch!" the other fist followed suit as it set ablaze and burned the bird and sent it spiralling to the ground, "now finish it with Flamethower!" the last attack knocked the bird out cold as Leo returned it.
"You've gotten better, Gray," he complimented me, but I didn't enjoy the win, "Now let's see if I can even keep up, go, Tyranitar!" the giant, green dinosaur appeared with a challenging roar, "you're move, Gray."
"Charizard, ThunderPunch!" my Pokemon charged Tyranitar with another punch, but this time Tyranitar simply stopped the punch by grabbing my dragon's fist and created a small shockwave, "Damn it, no!" I shouted in frustration because I knew that once Leo had the upperhand, he'd use Charizard's weakness against with with ease.
Leo noticed this far before I though, "Tyranitar, end this with one hit, Stone Edge!" the dinosaur stomps the ground and causes several stone shards to appear from the ground and ram into Charizard and knocking him out with one attack. I returned the dragon and sent out my next Pokemon. As my green dragonfly, Flygon, appeared and took to the sky Leo knew that tyranitar wouldn't be enough, "Great, now I have to compete with this."
"Flygon, make this quick, use DragonBreath!" the stream of air rushes from the dragon's mouth and slams into the dinosaur, causing the behemoth to move back in pain, "great, now finish him with Earthquake!" Flygon instantely stops his flight and slams into the ground and causes it to shake uncontrollably. At this point, Tyranitar couldn't take it anymore and faints on the spot.
Leo was on his last Pokemon to use by the rules so he decided to go all out on me, "Swampert, come on out!" the amphibious Pokemon appeared and called out his name in challenge, "Use Ice Beam!" the attack landed on my Flygon and took it out with one hit, not surprising me one bit, "Come on Gray, surely you can do better than that," I knew what he was doing, he was antagonizing me, trying to make me angry so it would make me try my hardest to win, but something inside me didn't want to.
I contemplated on who to use next, if I used Sceptile I could easily take his Swampert out, but if he hit me with that Ice Beam it would be all over, but if I used Nova, he could at least take one hit from that thing. I sighed and pulled out the Cherishball with the N on it, "Nova, we're ending this now, for better or for worse," my partner appeared and nodded.
"That was a stupid choice," Leo insulted me, but he knew Nova's moveset perfectly and was well aware of what was in store for him, "Swampert, use Hydro Pump!" I gasped, but Nova was completely calm and side stepped the attack.
As I regained my composure I knew what to do, "Nova, use Sunny Day!" the beast roared as the rays of the arena grew intense, "Good, now use SolarBeam!" Nova nodded as he released a giant beam from his mouth that barely scrapes Swampert and sends it to the ground, "Okay, use Brick Break!" the wolverine's fist then turns white as it's slammed into Swampert and sends the creature flying. I knew I could win, it was in the bag, but something stopped me, something didn't want me to win.
Leo saw my indesiciveness and took advantage, "Swampert use Hydro Pump once more!" this time the surge of water slams into Nova's chest and causes him to shout in pain and snap me from my thoughts, "You're getting sloppy Gray, finish this, Swampert, use Earthquake!" the beast stomps the ground and roars as the shockwave sends Nova flying into the air and upon landing, knocks him unconscious. Leo returns his Swampert and looks at me with sorrow, "I'm sorry Gray, but I swear I will never forget you."
I nodded slowly as I let the thought sink in, I returned Nova and walked away from the battlefield while the guards escorted me. As the creatures started dragging me to a wall with black marks on it, I knew that it was plasma burns from their weapons. I had only seen them be used once before, but they left burn marks on everything, "Well demon, it seems that the Gods favored someone else this time around," a golden Elite spoke to me as he loaded a rifle with a small tube for ammo.
With one sudden burst of anger I spat at the aliens, "Screw you and your damn Gods, I hope you all burn in Hell for this," one of the Brutes didn't take kindly to this and slammed me against the wall and hooked me to chains. The Elite took a deep chuckle as he aimed the rifle at me. I closed my eyes as I heard a gun shot, but I was still alive, as I slightly opened one of my eyes, I could see the entire execution squad falling to the ground with bullet wounds, "What the Hell?"
"Are you okay?" a giant man in olive green armor asked me as he put away his gun and broke my shackles. I looked up at him and slowly nodded, "Good, come with me, we're going to help the Covenant walk the Great Journey a little faster."
I didn't know what he meant, but I just slowly nodded and followed him as best I could, "Who are you?" I asked him, "I mean, I've never seen anyone or anything like you before."
The man started in a monotone voice, "Master Chief, John-117 of the UNSC," yet again, I had know idea what he was talking about, but I decided to go along with it. He then gave me a small pistol that I accepted, but was nervous and anxious at the same time to use.
"So... are you an alien?" I asked after a while.
The man turned around to face me, but his green helmet and orange visor didn't tell me anything about him, "Negative, I am offworld, but I'm very much human," I nodded in understanding for once.
"Okay, so are you saying that there are other planets with humans on them and that they can achieve space flight?" I almost couldn't believe it, but after what I've seen lately, I wouldn't doubt it. If there were aliens, what's to stop humans achieve space flight and travel to other planets?
"Affirmative, there are several including the inner and outer colonies, and of course the birth place of mankind, Earth," I had no idea that any of these planets existed, but here I am fighting aliens, so I guess it's not that hard to believe.
I pull out Nova's Pokeball, "Okay then, Chief, what's the plan?"
"Round up all surviving captives then head for the escape pods," those last two words confused me. If he means what I think we means, then that means we're in space, and if we're in space then there was no hope of anyone escaping alone.
"So, we're in space!?" I asked in shock.
"Affirmative, we are currently in orbit around your home planet," the Chief replied, "Now let's continue," I simply nodded as we made our way to the holding cells and on my way to free my friends.
