This one may seem creepy in some ways. Go ahead and see what I mean!
Chapter IV: Poisoned
"…She's stable now…"
"No, this subject can take more, I know it. Give her another dose."
EEEEF!
"Tighten the restraints! Make sure that it cannot get free at all…*cough*
…and give it a shocking while you're at it."
"U…Understood! Utilizing electrocution, voltage level at 50,000!"
AAAEEENNGH! EEEE!
"Hmph…foolish creature. Can't you be thankful for being one of the lucky test subjects for MY new type of SEED?
*cough*…After all it's just making you stronger, though I'd have to say you're still losing your mind…"
BAAAAH! EEEY!
"Although I'm sure you've already gone mad by now…that's why I'm using you. Despite how long you've been in our captivity you're still somewhat healthy.
*cough*…Too bad that your sanity finally broke…otherwise I might actually try to ask what you think, but you don't think clearly anymore, do you?"
AAAY! AAAAAAY!
"Urgh…Intelligence is still deteriorating…*cough*but the skin and the bones do appear to be growing with the muscle, now. It seems that the human and Pokémon variants of the drugs are near perfection, now…
*cough*…I just need to make some more tweaks. Until, then, we can just send some of these mindless behemoths to terrorize and crush the Kanto Army fools…*cough*"
"…Oh, and I thank you for your 'cooperation', dear specimen. You have just aided one of the greatest minds in the world, after all."
EEEEE!
"Shock it to sleep."
"Yes, Namba sir. Utilizing electrocution, voltage level sustaining at 50,000!"
LEEEAF!

September 27, 2061 2:55 a.m.
Thank Arceus for natural night-vision…
Bushels of high grass rose all around Shadow and Light, who were side-by-side with their chests to the ground. Just ahead of them, Sentinel and his Umbreon were also to the ground, the Pokémon obscured by the color of her fur itself, and Sentinel by his ghillie suit.
They were all part of a team now, to be exact KAM-TS Spec Ops Unit 7. Their group had been formed specifically by Ash himself. And, differing from his experience in Team Rocket, they were in the field nearly all the time.
Shadow had come to be unquestioning of Sentinel's extraordinary skill as a marksman. Just the day before he had witnessed Sentinel bring up his weapon and in the very same moment drop two grunts at once. Within that span of seconds Sentinel had looked into the scope of his sniper rifle and had blown holes clean through the remaining four grunt's heads.
On the other hand, the Umbreon, who had told that her name was Sollus, was quite adept at sneaking up behind opponents and viciously attacking with deadly accuracy when it came to ripping grunt's and Pokémon's throats out. The thing about her attacks was that they were usually almost silent.
He and Light, on the other hand, would go in and take the grunts and their Pokémon on in close range with their electrical and physical attacks.
Shadow smiled at the thought of this team; a headhunter who could kill from a distance without too much effort, a predator who made no sound when sneaking up and even more soundlessly killing its victims, and himself and Light disorienting and killing enemies from up-close to where they could not efficiently counter.
"…Pulse, Light, move up." Sentinel whispered, just barely looking back at them with his night vision goggles obscuring his eyes, much like the balaclava covering the rest of his face.
…And still, like nearly every other Kanto soldier, Sentinel was ignorant of Shadow's true identity. Of course, he hoped to keep it that way.
At least until he could prove that he was truly on their side, anyway.
The semi-dry grass spread out around him as he quickly but carefully moved to Sentinel's side. On the other side Light had crawled up next to Sollus, both peering ahead.
Shadow shifted his neck around, feeling the camouflaged nylon collar pressing slightly on his neck. It was different than the leather collar he had been used to wearing, especially the feel of it.
Light and Sollus also had similar collars on too, though Sollus's was more worn out. All had a small, metal plate fixed into the fabric that read KAM-TS.
"Do any of you sense anything around us?" Sentinel whispered once more while looking through his rifle's scope.
Ears perking up, Shadow listened, taking in all of the surrounding sounds.
A low wind was blowing through. Grass folded slightly in waves with the breeze. All around he could hear the Pokémon in the trees, shifting around…
Footsteps. Heavy, forceful footsteps that could just barely be heard to the north, accompanied by the sound of smaller footsteps and rattling chains. By the exact sound, Shadow deduced that it was some large, bipedal Pokémon, such as a Machamp that was being led by humans. Then there was another group, to their immediate northeast…
(Do you hear that, Pulse?)
(I hear it, Sollus. What about you, Light?)
(It's a group north of here…one of them is big…then the smaller group over here.)
Nodding to them both, Shadow looked up to Sentinel. "There's a group far north of us with something huge with them. From the sounds of it…they have this thing in chains. Then there's another group that's almost right on us to our northeast"
"We'll check the closer group. The thing with the other group is probably just a large Pokémon. Either way, we should go check it out after we take down this other squad."
Sentinel pressed himself into the grass further, looking out to the direction of the closer sounds.
Sollus made a low growl. Sentinel raised his hand to respond, making hand signals that told Shadow and Light to go far left, while Sollus was to go right.
Brush fell under his paws, separating to his sides until he was out of it, with Light tailing close behind him. (Light, let's go into the bushes.)
(Okay, I'm right behind you.)
Sentinel watched his Umbreon quietly rush to the right, somehow making no noise through the grass. Sentinel himself looked around for a moment, and then backed up until he was poking out from behind a tree.
Meanwhile, Sollus crept into the grass ahead of where she saw three Rockets approaching. Growling to herself, she bit lightly on the radio button that was hooked up between her right molars.
The translator did its work through the tiny microphone that hooked her up to her team's channel. (Sentinel, I see three of them directly ahead of me. Do I have permission to engage?)
On the other line, Sentinel already had a visual of the three men that were approaching. "Negative, I have a clear shot of them. Pulse, Light, you two stay put too. I'll take these three…"
"…on second thought, we could use some information. I'll just wound one of them. Pulse, when you hear the last shot, run up to him and make sure he's out cold."
A sound like three soft drumbeats shot through the air, each followed by a stifled cry except for the last, which produced a yell. Even as he heard the last, silenced bullet, he rushed through the bush to where the bodies hit the ground. On the ground, he found all but one with a hole in their heads.
He quickly spotted the living grunt and ran up to his face. Raising a paw full of electrcity, he was about to slam it into the man's forehead before he saw his face illuminated in the light of his energy. At the same time, the grunt also somewhat silenced, wide eyed as he covered the hole on in his chest.
Shadow knew this man…
…and this man knew Shadow.
"…Darrel…?"
"…No way…" Darrel replied, shaking from the pain of the bloody wound. Sweat was already running down in tanned face, and Shadow noticed that there was a newer cut that was sliced across his chin.
"…Sha-!" "Shut it." Shadow said while smacking a static-filled paw into Darrel's face. Teeth clenched, Darrel convulsed as electricity shocked him, teeth grinding against each other as his eyes rolled up. Finally, Shadow took his paw off Darrel, discharging small trails of electricity.
His former ally's eyes closed while a sigh escaped his lips.
Shadow looked back to Darrel's leg as sparks sprayed up from it. Curious, Shadow tilted his head and lifted Darrel's pant leg from the boot up…
Shadow gasped at the sight of the cold, robotic leg that was underneath, going all the way up to Darrel's knee. Under the protective layer of hard plastic, Shadow could see and assortment of wires and metal plating that almost matched the construction of regular human bone and tissue. The outer plastic itself had some plates covering it, especially on the front of the leg. From the way the synthetic limb was constructed, it looked like it could be used as naturally as a real leg.
Shadow remembered back: Darrel had broken his leg back when they were fighting through Celadon, after he had been caught in the collapse of a building. Hell, Darrel had been lucky to even be alive…
"…They didn't give you time to heal…they just decided to saw off your damn leg and give you a new one…"
A beep came across the radio attached to his collar. Shadow sighed as he put a paw to the radio. "Sentinel, he's out. Come on over."
"Good. I'll be right there. All form up."
His paw slid off the radio and just about swung back to his side. The leaves behind him rustled as Light came through, followed by Sollus who approached through the grass from the east, signaled only by the multitude of yellow rings on her body. Shadow could see Light make a nervous face when she saw Darrel, but she otherwise said nothing. Sollus quietly made her away to Darrel's head and sat at the foot of his helmeted scalp.
A living mass of leaves jumped over another bush near where Light came from, sniper rifle in hand. Quickly, he took the pack he had under his ghillie suit out and began to use gauze from it to treat the wound he gave Darrel. Watching, Shadow looked from Darrel's face to Sentinel's sniper rifle, then to the corpses of the other Rockets who had holes through their heads.
Shadow nearly shuddered. Sentinel could've easily killed him…
…But…I'm…
He shook his head. I'm not supposed to care anymore…he's an enemy now, but…
…I still don't think I'd be able to bring myself to kill him…
"…So what should we do with him, Sentinel?"
"Whatever command wants us to do with him. I'll contact them now…while I'm doing this, all of you keep an eye out for anyone or anything that could be more Rockets."
Sollus immediately backed away from Darrel and turned, walking a short distance away to hide behind a tree, peeking out from the corner of it. At the same time Light jumped into the bushes ahead of her, leaving Shadow to stand there.
Shadow glanced at his old friend nervously before turning and walking a small distance away, carefully scanning the area. Behind him, he could hear Sentinel talking into his radio:
"Tango Sierra Charlie, this is KAM-TS Spec Ops Unit 7-Actual, we have detained a Team Rocket soldier from Shock Squadron Unit…6." Sentinel said while looking to the badge that was on Darrel's shoulder, seeing the Roman numeral 'VI' on it under the stylized letters 'TR-SS'.
"What would you like us to do with him?"
Shadow's ear twitched, trying to hear some of the words that were being said back. Unable to decipher exactly what was being said, he grew unnerved. Sure, he might be able to deal with Darrel being killed now…but the initial shock he would have might just blow his cover.
"Roger Charlie, we'll restrain the grunt and put a beacon on him for your search to pick up. The rest of Unit 7 and I will continue our mission."
A beep came from the radio as it turned off. "Okay you three. We're just going to hide this guy in the bushes so the search squads can come find him. Otherwise, we'll continue searching ahead."
…Shadow shook his fur out after climbing out of the bush. Looking back, he could see Darrel's body lying flat under the foliage, with a small device on his chest that was barely visible in the night even with Shadow's natural night-vision.
"Okay…Let's go check out that other group you all had heard before." Sentinel said, motioning with his arm and walking, with Sollus right behind him. Light was about to go with them, when she noticed Shadow hesitating to go on and instead looking to the bush.
(…) (You still care about him, don't you Shadow…)
He nodded woefully. (He was a friend to me, Light…we may have had our differences, but I truly respect him…)
(I know I'm not supposed to see him as a friend anymore, but…he was…one of the first friends I ever had, along with you. I just can't believe that I have to fight him now.)
(I know it's hard to accept Shadow, I really do. But…there's almost nothing we can do about it. You can only hope that he complies with the interrogators…otherwise…)
He continued to look down to Darrel. Even with the feeling of her arm on his shoulder, he was unresponsive. Frowning, Light put the side of her head to his, speaking softly:
(I'm sorry Shadow, but you're just going to have to move on.)
(…)
The sound of Sentinel's voice came through Shadow's and Light's collar radios.
"Let's get a move on, you two."
Light lifted her head from his shoulder, letting his ears droop down. His sad, reddish-brown eyes stayed upon Darrel for a few moments before turning and beginning to walk again, a sympathetic Light at his side.
(…I'll get over it eventually.)
…
"Let's see here…"
"…ah, it…THEY appear to be sleeping right now. How very soothing."
"…Sir, we have the results of the tests you asked for."
*cough* "Ahk…tell me. How did this thing do?"
"Very well, sir. It killed all of its targets in less than twenty seconds. Four were incinerated, five were electrocuted to death, and the other four were frozen solid, then shattered."
"As…*cough*…expected from a creation of this caliber…who would've known that we could successfully combine the three creatures together? I for one could tell that none of those weak fools in Kanto would even dare to do what I have accomplished with this…"
AAAIIIIEEEE!
*cough* "…it is awake, at last. Look now at your creator, beast! I am your master, and until I say so you shall be in service to me and Team Rocket as a whole!"
"Sir, we fitted the submission collar on it as you wished."
"Good, give me the collar control…I can't have it screeching at us all through the night, can I?"
EEEEIIIII!
"Ha ha! Submit, submit now to*cough*…your maker! You will soon learn to respect me, monster! Otherwise you, like all the other subversive subjects, shall die!"
"…Oh, so you want to glare at me then…*cough*… Fine, but unfortunately for you, I am the one with the control to that collar on your…necks. Screech as much as you want, but you can do nothing..."
AAAAIIIII!
"…continue to annoy me with your…ha, HARMONIOUS music…and you will soon enough know what it's like to have *cough*…
…nerve gas in your system."
…
"Even I'm starting to hear the stomping sound…" Sentinel whispered while peering out from behind a tree, with the other three hidden. Through the scope of his rifle, Sentinel could see an armored vehicle with an 'R' on its side stopped on the side of a small dirt roadway. The green silhouettes of six Rocket grunts appeared out from the left, dragging someone to the side of the vehicle.
Adjusting his night vision goggles, Sentinel could see the outline of a Kanto flag on the man's shoulder, with a 'private' insignia right below it. His face was bloodied up, and both of his hands were cuffed behind his back.
The stomping noise came again.
Sentinel shifted his view left to see a battered and blood-covered Dragonair being carried over the shoulder of a…
Sentinel blinked, refocusing his view and adjusting his optics slightly, zooming in on the thing carrying the dragon Pokémon.
"…What the hell is that?"
It looked like a massive human, with glowing orange eyes glaring crazily at the Dragonair he was carrying. Standing at least ten feet tall by Sentinel's estimate, the monster had large, bony claws emerging from his fingers and his toes. The muscle mass he had was enormous; it looked to be even greater than that of a Machamp. Small blood vessels in his arms and legs stood out from the muscular limbs, almost pulsating. Broken chains hung off of two restraints that were on his wrists, and off a single iron ring that was closed around his neck.
"Do you guys see that?"
"We see it…" Shadow replied, truly amazed by the behemoth of a human that he and Light stared at, speechless from their position in a tree by the road. Both of them shuddered when they saw the monster easily toss the Dragonair off of his shoulder and onto the hard dirt road, next to the Kanto soldier.
"Ha…dumb dragon think it could beat me! Not now, because I stronger!" The thing bellowed triumphantly, attracting nervous glances from the Rocket grunts he was with.
"What! You scared of me too? I would also be scared of me if I were you!"
"Uh, yeah, yeah, you're…fucking scary, terrifying…" The calmer of the grunts said, turning his head to look down at the Kanto soldier they had caught.
"Listen here, buddy. You gave my friend here a couple god hits in his chest, and he's not too happy about it. Here's what I'm going to do: I'm gonna let you choose between the 'normal' guys here beating you to death, or you can choose to let our big friend here 'play around' with you…"
Weak rumbling noises emerged from the Dragonair's mouth. The Rocket lifted his gun up and walked back to the Dragon Pokémon, smirking. "You don't want to see your master die? Fine, I'll let him watch YOU die instead."
"Sentinel, we have to do something." Shadow urged through the radio, watching the Rocket motion for the giant to grab the Dragonair.
"I know…Okay, listen. You, Light and Umbreon will-
"Her name's Sollus, just so you know." Shadow interrupted, still watching the giant begin to approach the horrified Dragonair with heavy, menacing steps.
"…Sollus? So that's her name, then…anyway you, Light and Sollus will kill the three soldiers closest to that private. I'll get the other three and the…whatever the hell that guy is. On my mark…"
"Three…"
"Two…"
"So, I get to crush dragon, then? Fine, I rough it up then kill it after a while." The monster roared as the Kanto soldier watched helplessly,. Slowly, the monster picked up the Dragonair's slim blue body with his gigantic, muscular hand…
(Thunderbolt!)
Shadow and Light landed on the ground together, two paws pressed together to unleash one massive surge of lightning at two of the Rockets. A Third behind them fell back in surprise, hastily reaching for his rifle when a black blur sped up to him, reforming into Sollus on his lap.
"What the-AKH!" He yelled after she gave him a playful, innocent look before viciously tearing into his throat. Behind him splashes of blood fell to the ground as the other three grunts were struck by hard lead.
Sentinel picked off the last Rocket he targeted, and then he focused his scope on the monster's brow. The thing watched almost confusedly, lowering the Dragonair he had in his arms. Steadying, Sentinel shot.
"OW! Who did that?" The monster yelled as several shards of metal rebounded off his skull in fragments of the bullet they once were.
What?
Sentinel quickly fired two more shots at the monsters head. Again, the shots simply blasted apart upon hitting his rock hard head, only infuriating the beast. It violently threw the Dragonair it was holding to the ground, looking viciously towards where Sentinel was hidden.
"Is his head made of diamond or something? And I can't go for his neck, it's ringed by at least an inch of steel!"
Shadow kicked one of the Rockets in the jaw, sending him into another that stumbled back after being electrocuted further by Light. Looking past her, Shadow could see that the monster was still standing, furious with his face muscles contorted into an angry frown.
"You…DIE!" The monster shouted before charging with his shoulder first into the forest, crashing through bushes and shattering trees to splinters while coming towards Sentinel like a bulldozer.
Sentinel hastily jumped out of the way of the monster, yelling "Holy shit!" as he felt a rain of wood fragments and leaves hit him in the wake of the thing's charge.
The mutant stomped a leg into the ground to stop himself, then he shifted around to face Sentinel. "You were shooting at me! I going to smash you!"
"HRRRRAAAAGH!" The monster bellowed as he grabbed the tree next to him, pulling with both of his massive arms to rip the trunk right out of the ground. As soil still clung to the roots, the orange-eyed monster charged at Sentinel with the tree raised high like a giant hammer.
Fuck…
FUCK!
Sentinel jumped to his feet and sprinted back to the road, looking back over his shoulder to see the mammoth swinging the tree wildly, smashing other trees out of the way of his rampage.
"Pulse, Light, electrocute this fucker NOW!" Sentinel yelled as he crossed out of the treeline and onto the road, followed closely by the tree-wielding mutant.
Shadow jumped back from the Rocket grunt he had just killed and dashed in towards the monster as he just barely exited the forest. Hiding his nervousness, Shadow roared as electricity exploded from his body and joined the surge that was already flowing from Light on the other side of him.
"UUAAGGH!"
The monster put his free arm to his head, but somehow kept running, veering off course of his target and charging blindly into the armored Rocket truck on the side of the road.
Shadow watched in shock as the behemoth tore its head out of the hole he had made in the truck's armor, shaking it out.
"What…that should've just stopped him in his tracks…!" Light said silently, taking a few steps to the side to position herself by Shadow again.
Sentinel raised his sniper rifle again, deciding to go for another part of the giant's body.
If this guy's bone is bullet-proof…
…What about pure muscle?
Sentinel fired his weapon twice again, smirking when he saw both missiles of hot lead tear bloody holes through the monster's calf muscles.
"AAAUGH! NO!" He yelled as he tumbled back, letting the massive tree he had in his hand smack into his head in the fall. The earth shook as he hit, causing many of the trees that were only visible through Sentinel's night vision to visibly shake.
His massive arms reached up for the trunk still on his head, throwing them off violently as he redirected himself towards them.
With many growling sounds, the monster clawed at the ground, trying in vain to lift himself back up. At this point all four of them were in awe, watching as the blood vessels on the thing pulsated even more…
"URK…!"
His claws stopped in their tracks, his orange eyes completely focused on all of them. Blood vessels continued to pulsate until blood began to run out of his ears and nose.
Completely motionless, the monster's head hit the ground. His muscles also began to shrink, along with his bones. When they were done all that was left in front of them was a normal, dead human. Suddenly, the side of his head where Sentinel had shot at earlier split open, allowing a mess of bone, brains and blood to pour out.
"…Okay, Sollus and I will help out that private, you and Light tend to the Dragonair over here!" Sentinel said, running right to the private who was slumped near the side of the truck, almost crushed by the remains of the tree. Meanwhile, Light and Shadow ran to the Dragonair's side, both shell-shocked by what they just saw.
(…Can you hear us?) Shadow asked, looking directly into the dragon Pokémon's face. It responded with a subtle shake of its head, making a weak growl as it slowly looked over him with glossed eyes. Meanwhile, Light was already at its side, white energy flowing from her paws into an area of its body near its neck that looked blackened from the sheer amount of bruising.
"Can you stand up at all, private?" Sentinel asked the soldier, receiving only a weak shake of the head and a glazed expression of exhaustion similar to his Dragonair's. Shakily, he pointed to a large hole in his leg that was around three inches wide.
"Okay, hold still. Can you talk at all? What unit are you from?"
"…3rd Army…Detachment…2." He answered slowly, fading in and out of consciousness as Sentinel and Sollus began to bandage his wounds while Light continued to heal the Dragonair…
…
"…That was…interesting…" Sentinel breathed out as Sollus took a few steps toward the dead human. Sniffing at him, she tilted her head. She blinked several times before turning back to them. (It smells like there's something in his blood…)
Shadow walked over and also sniffed at the fluids. Grimacing, he shook his head.
Looks like someone's doing experiments in Namba's place…
"…Sentinel, there's some sort of chemical in this guy's blood. It's probably the thing that made him like that."
Sentinel took off his pack again, barely able to see its contents despite his night-vision goggles. "I'm surprised he was able to see us…he didn't even have any kind of night vision on…"
"…Here." Sentinel said, pulling out a small vial with a cap on it and tossing it to Shadow. "Pulse, collect some of his blood…I think Xepher and Oak would like to see that."
As Shadow caught the vial, Sentinel looked to the Kanto private he was kneeling by while taking out his radio. "Tango Sierra Charlie, this is KAM-TS Spec Ops Unit 7-Actual, we need a MedEvac at my position for two wounded, a human and a Dragonair, how copy?"
"Alright, 7-Actual, just send out a beacon at your position. Are you sure you've cleared the area?"
"Affirmative, the forest round me is clear. Just hurry up so this Dragonair doesn't die on me, it looks pretty bad."
"Roger, we'll send the MedEvac immediately. Tango Sierra Charlie out."
Sentinel slid his radio back into its pouch, removing another small box from it. "Don't worry private, you and your Dragonair are going to be fine, just hold on a little longer."
(Light, I'm pretty sure that I know where that healing ability of yours came from, but since when have you known about it anyway?) Shadow asked when he saw her put her paws on another of the Dragonair's wounds, having a somehow healed the first one to where it was nearly gone.
She shook her head, eyes on the cut she had her paws over. (I've just…known how to do it. Ever since I can remember…)
(…I know what you're thinking, I'm thinking the same thing….)
(…I probably have this power…because of the other…side of me…)
(Yeah, I figured that…I have to ask you something about her…)
Light looked up to him. (Yes?)
Shadow scratched his head, his thunderbolt tail slightly down. (Who was it that was helping me and Bolt that night? Just her…)
(…or you too?)
Light looked to the cold, dark road while the sounds of metal chopping through the air began to vibrate through the air. Soon enough a bright spotlight shown through the trees, followed by a large helicopter with manned miniguns on its sides.
Looking up to the helicopter, Shadow heard Light finally reply:
(It was…both of us. Her power, her determination…
…and my will to keep you…and everyone else safe.)
The helicopter landed on the road, with three men with night vision immediately scrambling out. One went to the Dragonite and captured it within a Pokeball, while the other two immediately helped Sentinel get the private up.
One of them walked to the snapped tree in the road, then to the gaping hole in the side of the Rocket vehicle, then to the dead grunts on the ground. "What happened? You don't have a missile launcher on you…"
"That…that one over there was mutated into a monster. He was at least ten feet tall, maybe five hundred pounds, I swear to you." Sentinel replied, as serious as if he were at his own funeral. He reached for the top of his night vision goggles and pulled a small box with a lens on it from its top.
"This is a small video camera; it's recorded my entire mission tonight. I want you to see if you can get the video to command for them to see for themselves."
The soldier nodded, accepting the small black box from sentinel. "Got it…if you're telling the truth, then damn…how'd you take him down then?"
"I guess blunt force trauma finally got to him. I had shot him in the head three times and he was still up. His head had to be hard as diamond…the second blow he took did the trick. He was using that broken up tree trunk over there like a bat. When I shot out his calves the thing smashed on top of his head… he reverted after that, then his skull split open."
…
The rotors of the helicopter began to spin up again, with the private safely strapped to a stretcher on the inside. From where he stood, Shadow could see him looking to the Pokeball that held his Dragonite, while in front of him another soldier waved off to Sentinel.
"I'll get this to command as soon as possible. In the meantime we've noticed that some allied soldiers are heading this way, so that means the front's moving up. You know what that means."
"I know, we won't get caught in crossfire. We're going to regroup in the forest." Sentinel replied to him as the helicopter began to ascend, taking off into the south with a wiz of its propeller.
Looking at the Rocket corpses, Sentinel made a devious smile.
"If those Rocket's try to find these…" He said, reaching into his large pack. Seconds later, Shadow saw him pull out a pack of small white bricks and some smaller disks. Upon closer inspection, Shadow saw that the disks were field mines.
"C4 on top of the mines?" Shadow asked him. Sentinel nodded to him, rushing up to the first corpse he saw.
"These won't go off if it detects movement from Kanto personnel. If it detects movement from anything else, they'll go off…"
"…In other words you three, we have an ambush in the making here when those Rockets come for the bodies."
…
"And now…
…the jewel of my return."
"Sir, he is almost ready. His body is almost completely restored; he just needs a small amount of time afterwards to get used to his new powers."
"Very good.*cough*…urgh, very good indeed…*cough!*
…agh, get me my medication!*cough*
"Yes sir."
"…*cough!* *cough!*"
"…agh…"
"…you are indeed strong now. Whether or not Marxus truly died or not will no longer be a problem…"
"…Shadow will not escape YOU…"
"…Not now…"
"And never again…"
…
…
The Umbreon's name 'Sollus' means full or whole in Latin.
…
…
So how was it? Give me your opinions!
…And how do you think these new 'creations' of Namba's are going to affect the future of the story?
Tell me what you think!
