Cindy, Hakura and Sarah continued to run through the forest, stopping when they saw Steve, Warren, and Sophie waiting for them.
Steve ran up and hugged Cindy and Sarah. "Oh you made it! I was scared the space men got you for sure." The little Larvitar nuzzled both. Cindy patted him on the back. "Thank you Steve, Hakura was the one who saved us." Hakura sat down and barked her approval. Warren looked around.
"I suggest we keep moving. Who knows how many more of them are out there?"
Cindy nodded. "Right."
They took off in one direction, following the river.
Overhead, a Staraptor saw them and began to fly in one direction.

Wilhelm was resting on a tee limb, rubbing his aching wounds he received from last night's battle. That Quilava girl…I'll make her pay, her and that Luxray!
Down beneath the tree, the Ninetales groomed herself delicately, the Ariados crawling back and scurrying up the tree. The Shifty bounced from tree to tree to reach the same spot. Wilhelm stood up.
"Well, report."
The Shiftry nodded. "Another camp successfully infected. I bit all of the young seedlings pokemon that were resting outside and they turned on their masters who were still in slumber. Some of those liberated have joined the cause."
Wilhelm grinned. "Very good."
The Ariados hissed. "I too have attacked the humansss, they were no match for my websss. I have brought some with me for liberation." The Ariados gestured to a large web sack, a young girl and a young boy's head struggling to get out, their arms constricted by the gooey web. They looked fearfully at the Weavile.
He closed his eyes as he smirked. "Did they have pokemon with them?"
The Ariados cocked his head. "None that I could sssee."
"The belts...did they have belts?" Wilhelm inquired.
The Shiftry punched one hand into the sack and pulled out to belts containing only one ball each. "Here." The Shiftry presented the belt to Wilhelm and he clicked them with his claws. He opened them to see a Chimecho from the pink belt and a Snorunt from the blue one. He quickly held the Chimecho down and bit it then he jumped onto the Snorunt and sank his teeth into its cone like head. The pokemon instantly shudder from the bites as the virus began to over take their systems. He grinned to himself.
"You have been liberated. Now, share your blessing with your...former captives."
The Boy and girl both stared with fear and tried to get way but the web was holding them down. The Snorunt propelled itself and bit the boy on his hand, crying out as its cold teeth made contact with his skin. The Chimecho bit the girl by her ear, ringing by it, making her cry out with even more pain.
Wilhelm smiled. "Excellent…Ariados, take them to a place where they can get comfortable to wait until the virus liberates them as well."
The Ariados took the web sack up the tree with him, Shiftry helping, and they hung it, the boy and girl watching with fearful tears.
Wilhelm rubbed his claws against each other, laughing. This was too much fun for him. Shiftry pointed to the sky. "Wilhelm, Staraptor returns." Wilhelm looked up and saw the bird pokemon glide down to a branch. "I have spotted the Quilava girl and the Luxray. Their group is traveling down the river."
Wilhelm's eyes flashed with excitement. "Did they see you?"
Staraptor shook his head. "No, I don't think so."
Wilhelm flared his claws as he laughed. "Then we'll catch them off balance."
He looked to Ninetales and Ariados. "Go with him and bring them back to me. You can use whatever means necessary to acquire them, but I want them alive." His eyes narrowed. "The Quilava girl is mine."
The Ninetales and Ariados nodded and began to follow the Staraptor into the forest. Wilhelm then smiled and settled into a spot where he can lay back and watch the two crying humans in the web.

Cindy and the others took a break by the stream, panting from all the distance they covered. Warren panted loudly and rested his green dome on Sophie's squishy body.
"Well…we...we ought to have…have outran those troops by now…right?"
"No more running..." Sophie panted. Cindy sat down on her rear and looked up, panting.
"Ok…we'll rest here…then keep moving…"
Sarah shot a look at Cindy. "To where, we just running blindly to the forest. We're probably no where close to a city and even if we were, those HDC creeps will be sure to capture us and we'll never get out."
Cindy looked at Sarah an understood what she meant. We were lucky Hakura did what she did...but I don't want any more humans to get infected because of us…
Hakura was panting when she perked up and sniffed the air. "Huh?"
She then turned her ears, her hearing scanning the nearby area.
Cindy looked to her with worry. "What is it Hakura, more HDC men?"
Hakura shook her head. "No…something else...I hear…giggles?"
Cindy cocked her head. "Giggles?" She tried to listen too.
"Hee-hee-hee…'When the day of promise comes, we will sound out with our drums…'"
Cindy's eyes widened. She recognized that voice. The little girl…from the society!
This time, the giggling was closer, causing Steve to cling on to Sarah out of surprise. Sarah tensed up and growled, recognizing the voice.
"With cheeks as red as pika-chu's, aren't you blessed by Yas-uo?" The demented giggling continued.
Cindy readied her flames as she looked around in all directions, trying to pinpoint the voice.
"When the moon shines pale in the sky, is that a tail by your eye?"
Sarah crackled her fur as she growled.
"When all your humanness is all gone, aren't you happy a Pokemon?"
Cindy decided to call out. "Who are you? Show your self!"
The Giggling was directly behind them and Cindy looked up in the tree's to see a Luxray with blue skin and Purple fur giggling in the trees, those eyes being the same as the girl Cindy remembered.
Sarah growled. "It's you! You're with those society kids that attacked us! I thought we saw the last of you!"
The Luxray giggled. "Thank you for blessing me Luxray! Now I'm a pretty shiny one! Hee-hee!"
Sarah snapped her head at her. "You're the one who attacked John, turned him into a pokemon. I'll never forgive you for taking him away!"
The Luxray landed down to their level and turned her head coyly. "You mean my Eevee boy?"
"SHUT UP!" Sarah lunged at the purple Luxray but she easily sidestepped the attack.
Cindy looked at the purple Luxray. "Look, you don't have to be this way. There's a cure and we can-"
The Luxray laughed loudly at Cindy. "No no no, that would be breaking Yasuo's law."
She stroked her fur. "I like being shiny."
Sarah charged an attack. "Oh yeah, well take THIS!" She fired off an electric bolt and the purple Luxray only giggled as she began to absorb the electricity. "Hee-hee, silly Luxray. I'm a Luxray too, that won't work!"
Sarah began to dash at her. "My name is Sarah!" She tried to swipe a claw at her but she jumped back.
"Hi Sarah! I'm Miki. Wanna play?"
Sarah only roared as she tried to tackle her again, missing each time, Miki laughing like it was a game of tag. She then spread her claws. "Tag...you're...IT!" She then slashed Sarah across the shoulder, Sarah crying out and swiping a paw at Miki, making contact with her face. She flew back. "Ow! That hurt!" She whined back.
Cindy stepped forward. "Look, we don't want to fight you, we're just asking that you leave now."
Miki then giggled. "But this is fun!" She then crouched back and leaped at Sarah, catching her in a tackle. The Two Luxrays rolled on the ground and ended with Miki pinning Sarah down. "I win!" She cheered. Sarah ony bit Miki's paw and Miki jumped back. "Ow! Meanie!" Miki stuck a tongue at Sarah. Sarah growled and stood up. "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to John and us."
Miki rubbed her sore paw. "Awww...you play rough...like little brother." She then crackled her fur and fired a thunderbolt at them, Sarah taking the brunt but shaking it off.
"Heh, I'm a Luxray too, remember?" Sarah taunted while Miki fumed. She crouched to tackle again. Cindy then hopped in and fired a smokescreen attach at Miki. The Luxray coughed and squeezed her eyes as the smoke stung her. She heard running footsteps and when the smoke cleared she saw that they were gone. She growled. "Ohhh..! Not fair! Not fair!" She then saw one of the bushes still shaking from where they entered and bounded off in that direction.
"Ready or not, here I come!" She giggled.

"Are you sure its safe to have a picnic out here brother?" Nauru asked her brother Kyle as they set down a checkered carpet. Kyle chuckled. "As long as you stay were I can see you, then yeah."
Aki came with the basket and set it down. "But what if a pokemon comes by?" He asked. Kevin rubbed his younger brother's blue hair. "Then just run to safety. I'll make sure it doesn't get any of us."
Nauru crossed her arms. "Knowing Aki, he'll be the one to run into it first."
Aki clenched his fist. "Will not!" Nauru got in his face. "You will!"
"Will not!"
"Will too!"
"Will not!"
"Will too!"
Kyle sighed. "Knock it off, both of you, we came here for some peace, remember?"
The both bowed their heads. "Sorry, Brother."
Kevin smiled. Ok, now where do we begin.." He stopped when he thought he saw a Staraptor in the sky. It flew out of his vision fast. He looked again to see if any other pokemon was out. He looked back to his brother and sister, trying to hide his worry. "Ok, now who wants the first Watermelon slice?"
Both raised their hands excitedly.

Cindy felt the ground racing beneath her as they ran fast through the woods, trying to evade Miki, but her giggles trailed behind them. Sophie then fell down and rolled. Cindy stopped and ran back to the fallen Wurmple.
"Sophie!"
She looked at Cindy with a weary eye. "I…I don't feel so good…"
Cindy put a worried paw to Sophie and looked around. She heard the giggles again and quickly hoisted the Wurmple up and held her on her back. "Come on Sophie, we can make it!"
She began to run and narrowly missed a lightning bolt that was sailing toward her. "Hee-hee…lets try that again!" Miki laughed as she continued to run, charging up another lightning bolt. Sarah then appeared and tackled Miki down, the two rolling down a hill. Cindy cried out. "Sarah!"
The two Luxrays rolled down the hill and landed with a thud, Miki bouncing off of Sarah. "Pinned ya!" She giggled. Sarah growled and swiped a charged paw at the purple Luxray. She playfully batted it away and spun around, catching Sarah with her tail. Sarah growled and began to use spark tackle. She contacted with Miki and slammed her against a tree, Miki crying out. Sarah then began to gnaw at her fur as Miki scratched at her, yowling to get Sarah off. Miki's paw swiped by her eye and Sarah bounced back, reeling. She blinked and made sure her eye was okay. Miki then talked Sarah on the side and sank her fangs into Sarah's wounded shoulder. Sarah cried out and began to feel fuzzy headed as a sensation began to wash over her. She knew what it was. The virus...it's trying to take over…
She began to shake her head as she tried to fight off the rage that was invading her. Come on...you beat it before...don't let it beat you this time!
Miki than swiped at Sarah and caught her on the cheek, causing blood to leak from the cheek. Sarah then turned and bit Miki on the paw. If she did it to me...then I can do it to…her!
Miki then began to shudder.
"Ohh...what did you do?"
Sarah grinned. "'When all your humanness is all gone, aren't you happier a pokemon?'"
Miki giggled back and seemed to shake off the feeling. "Hee-hee, thanks, but I'm not going anywhere. Hee-hee."
Sarah cursed inside. Damn...was hoping that would work...getting dizzy…
Miki seemed to wobble too. Heh...got her too..
Sarah felt another overwhelming surge of rage but she fight against it. Don't...forget...yourself! Don't forget...John!
She then cried out and released all her anger in a large thunderbolt against Miki, the Purple Luxray getting hit hard and sailing through the air. The Luxray weakly got up and she giggled before taking off into the woods. "Bye-bye! Hee-hee!"
Sarah was too tired to chase after her. Fighting against the virus did a real number on her and she felt so exhausted. Still, she climbed with all the strength she could muster and made it to where Cindy and the others were waiting for her. Sarah smirked at Cindy before collapsing on her side.
"Sarah!" Cindy called out and she held Sarah's head in her paws. Sarah yawned. "Soo…tired…"
Cindy smiled. "Ok, you can rest...you earned it."
Sarah nodded and rested her head, letting herself slip into sleep.
Cindy rubbed Sarah's head, watching her sleep. Sarah…you saved us again…you are a true friend..
Warren looked from Sophie to Cindy. "Uh Cindy? Something's happening."
Cindy walked over to Sophie. The little Wurmple squeezed her eyes shut as she shudder.
"Sophie? What's going on?" Cindy asked with worry. Hakura walked by. "She's gained enough energy. It's time."
Cindy turned to her. "Time for what?" Hakura sat by her and raised a paw. "Watch."
Cindy looked to Sophie and saw as she stood up and fired a sting shot over the air and begin to fall on her, layers and layers of gooey silk covering her until she was just a mass covered in silk. Then a glow began to cover her and the mass began to smooth into a rounder shape. When the light has cleared, a little white silk ball with spikes and Sophie's eyes was in the Wurmple's place.
Hakura smiled. "Congratulations, Sophie has evolved into a Silcoon."
Cindy walked over to the Silcoon. "..Sophie? Are you ok?"
The Silcoon looked to her with familiar eyes and tried to move but couldn't. Cindy put a hand to the silk ball and felt it squirm trying to move. "..blink twice for yes."
Sophie blinked twice. Cindy sighed in relief.
"She's still Sophie." Everyone cheered for her. Steve walked by Sophie's unmoving form. "All right, you're going to be a Beautifly!" He patted her head as she looked at him with worried eyes.
Warren looked at her. "Wow, I wonder what it must be like not being able to move or talk on your own."
Sophie then fired a string of silk at him and it landed on him. He jumped back. "Ah, on second thought, I really don't need to know!" He nervously chuckled. Sophie just continued to look on with worried eyes. Cindy went to her. "Hmm…we need to have someone carry you until you hatch. Sophie blinked twice.
Cindy looked to Sarah's sleeping form and back at Sophie. "We'll rest here when night comes."

The Staraptor continued to scan the forest when it saw something run down there. He flew a little closer and saw that it was a purple Luxray. It made a giggling sound as it ran, sounding like a little girl. The Staraptor was going to fly down there to ask if it wanted to join the liberation front, but something inside him told him that he wouldn't want her on the team. Wilhelm is bad enough...and after Blake…I'm not sure I want to work with Luxrays anymore…
He continued to fly with Ariados and Ninetales following, trying to find the Quilava girl and her friends….

And I think I'll stop there! X3. This was a fun chapter to write and I wanted to reintroduce Miki from Quarantine into this story. I still figured Sarah would still be mad at Miki for what she has done and would like to settle the score. That song she sings in the middle is sort of a signature line for her, as it represents the Society's beliefs and her child like playfulness. I also wanted to bring Wilhelm and the others back into the fold. And Sophie finally evolved, providing an interesting conflict of how to keep her with the group in this new form. Aki, Kyle, and Nauru were also reintroduced in this chap to not only set the stage for something to happen later but to also lighten up the tone a bit. Well, please review! Jonseycat, out! MEE-YAA!
