Chapter VI: Kidnapped... Again
As I sit impatiently in the contraption, I can't help but wonder if I'm making the right choice here…
Heck, I don't know what Mewtwo's intentions are, but I don't Dominic's either. Judging from the situation, they're both bad news. Maybe I should just avoid them both altogether? Maybe I should just… Run?
The facility is still low staff, as Mewtwo claims anyway. But then again, can I trust his word? He said I can rot in this place.
It was hurtful of him to say, especially considering he's trying to get my help. Everything was confusing at the moment, I guess the best thing I can do is just sit here and wait for Dominic to give me further instructions.
"Alright, I'm really glad you opened up to me, Damian. Now I'm just warning ya about this… It might hurt a little."
I chuckled, "Can't be any worse than Sir Greninja kicking me upside the head."
Dominic forced a laugh, "I'm sure you'll be f-"
He was interrupted by a sudden crash, that echoed throughout the lab.
He and I both looked in the direction of the door to see that it had been blown open.
Dominic scowled at the door, then me.
"You little shit… After all I went through to try and help you."
I flustered, unsure of what to say, "What are you talking about!?"
Before Dominic could reply he was knocked unconscious by a lightning fast green figure. And before I knew it the figure was before me.
With cunning Pokemon instincts I hopped backwards to avoid a powerful strike that I believed to be a kick. With much luck I managed to elude the following attack.
Whoever this was might've been fast, but if Sir Greninja has taught me anything, it's how to fight anyone or anything… Even if they are moving too fast to see. Not to mention the fact he's just slower than Sir Greninja. The question is… How long am I gonna hold up against this guy? And who the hell is he?!
The figure stopped moving and appeared before me, taking the shape of a Sceptile. Is this… Mewtwo?
"Wow… Mewtwo wasn't kidding. You're pretty good for a kid, let alone a human. But you're no match for me. Now before we make this a fight you can't win how bout you and me get out of this place?"
I tensed up, "I'm not going anywhere! I was safe before you showed up!"
The Sceptile shrugged, "Fine… Suit yourself."
Before he could make his next move, I closed my eyes to rely on my aura vision. What I wasn't expecting was the direct impact of a punch to the muzzle.
The impact sent me flying back into the wall, but I was quick to recover as I whirled around pressed my paws against the wall. In a flash of movement Sceptile was behind me. I gasped, ducked down, and struck back with a mighty fire punch.
The attack missed him by merely an inch as he swayed backward and grabbed me by the arm. Next thing I knew, I was ready to be hurled into the ground, head first by my limp arm.
I built energy into my paw and fired it at my assailant. Swiftly, he jumped over the attack and slammed me face first into the concrete beneath me.
"Man, you really are good. Whoever trained you really knows their stuff."
My struggle was soon broken as I heard a sudden familiar voice, "Please… He has a long way before he makes it to my level."
Sceptile was interrupted by a sudden water shuriken attack from none other than Sir Greninja.
Using this distraction to my advantage, I pressed my palm into the Sceptile's chest and prepared my force palm maneuver. And that was when I saw it… The panic in his eyes. He knew it as well as I did that he was done for.
Or so I thought…
His panicked expression became a smug grin as he gripped my forearm and pressed against my forehead with little to no effort. And the pain that came with this maneuver could not be described.
My own attack… The force Palm. It hurt a lot more than I ever expected it to, especially all of its might going straight to my now pounding skull.
With a weakened moan, I did my best to stand up. As I regained the strength to open my eyes, I could see Sceptile and Sir Greninja going at it head to head.
A punch here, a kick there, an attack unique to their type. But from the looks of things, Sceptile didn't stand a chance. But that was before Sir Greninja was struck by another unexpected combatant. A Lucario, stood over Sir Greninja, staring him down.
"Sceptile, if you're gonna fight someone who's way out of your league at least get some help, first."
"Please… I was going easy on 'em," Sceptile replied smugly.
Sir Greninja was back on his feet and stated, "Go… Get Buniot."
Dumbfounded, I asked, "What?"
Sir Greninja growled, "I need your help, Damian. I won't beat them on my own. I'm not asking you to run, I want you to get Buniot and return here. Mewtwo told me everything that happened between you and I didn't listen to him. He's the real enemy here."
"Here's the deal, kid. You run for that door, I'll have to take you by force. You don't want a lump on your head do ya?" asked the Sceptile.
"Here's the thing… I don't care how many of you there are, you even touch my student I'll personally break every bone in your body," I was mesmerized by Sir Greninja's attitude towards me.
He really cares about me…
"Damian, on my mark… Run."
Sir Greninja closed his eyes and a massive cloud of smoke enveloped the room. Confused at first, I was quick to catch onto the queue. I closed my eyes and made haste for the exit.
Little did I know this exit was being blocked by the Lucario, now. I charged dead on, bared my fangs and fired an aura sphere at him. To my dismay the attack missed but I only expected it to.
As he evaded the attack I took advantage of the distraction to rush past him. I was expecting him to chase me, but I guess Sir Greninja had everything covered.
From then on, I was in the clear at least until I ran into who I'm guessing was someone else from this team of theirs.
"Woah… Looking for someone, dude?" the Sableye before me asked with a grin.
He was blocking the door… And that means…
"Buniot… What did you to him?" I snarled.
"Let's just say he's not stand for a couple of days," the he laughed evilly.
I stared him down and with a loud animalistic growl I fired an aura sphere at him with precision accuracy. The Sableye's smug grin faded into a scowl.
"Lucky shot, but you don't stand a chance. Give it up and just come with us."
"I'm not going anywhere. You hurt Buniot… I'm not gonna let that go," I growled.
"-you may as well. Cause your big bad Greninja can't help you anymore."
I whirled around to face the Lucario and Sceptile staring me down eerily.
"Sir… Greninja?"
"He's not breathing from what we could tell. Last chance, kid. Give it up," Sceptile stated.
It was hard to believe… That all of this was just happening at once. What made it worse was that if I didn't do something quick I'd lose everything I worked so hard for.
And that's when the emotion kicked in.
"I'm gonna kill Mewtwo myself… But first…" I could feel a powerful rush of energy take over, "I'm gonna kill you."
The gang tensed up, and the Sceptile replied, "Fine. But don't say we didn't warn you. Sableye go ahe-"
I interrupted his order with a lightning quick fire punch to his face. I followed up the attack with an iron tail on the Lucario and firing an aura sphere at the Sableye.
Unfortunately my attempts weren't enough to injure them, only surprise them.
I made my next move, charging the Sceptile full speed. My rush was stopped abruptly as the Lucario kicked me across the face. I knelt over in pain but before Sceptile could make a follow up attack I punched his left arm nearly crippling it, and pressed both of my paws into his chest. Preparing myself for an epic attempt at a double force palm.
Before I could pull off the maneuver, I was knocked down by a shadow ball. And as I attempted to stand up, Lucario kicked me across the face once more. Only knocking me back to the ground again.
And after that attempt to get up, I was knocked across the head with more tan enough force to knock me unconscious. The last thing I could hear was the muffled sound of the Sceptile guy saying, "I think he broke my damn arm."
