'Catherine just stop. You are wasting my ammo.' Axel said behind her back, his hand reached for his bolt action sniper rifle.

'Back the fuck off.' She fanned the Snivy with her opened palm. 'Just give me one more clip and I'll fucking quit.

'You said the same thing 5 minutes ago. And from the little display at the slot machine, you are not going to anytime soon. Just call it off. Sniping certainly doesn't fit you.' Axel said before placing a clip in her palm.

'Bullshit.' She ejected the old clip and loaded the new one in. 'You don't have a fucking shoulder, your eyes the size of your head and you can still crack skulls with this thing. Don't tell me that I can't.'

He sighed. 'Fine, just this one clip.'

She fired another round and missed. 'Damn it!'

'I'm surprised to see that bandit still hasn't collapsed from exhaustion.'

*Bang* 'AW FUCK YOU!'

(Song ends)

Chapter 8: The chase.

The past few days, the team had been stationing at a Genesis's colony in the North West side of the Outlands. They were in charge of assisting the process of reclaiming equipment and disassembling this colony. Most of the work was done by a crew of mechs and a few round trips from the drone planes, which left the team only with guarding duty. During their time here, they were relying on food creates, empty rooms and a Genesis car provided by the colony. The car got the Genesis red and black paint job all over. The front side of it could be fully be opened, allowing Rick to get in the driver seat. Above it was a turret with dual machine guns and shield to protect the user from head shots. The car was there to served Doc's "just in case." After five days, the colony was nothing more but an empty shell. Most of the mechs were gone, only a few were left behind to cut the main walls into smaller pieces. All the expensive equipment were gone, the rooms were torn apart. And the team was left with camping out at the intact gate for the remaining days. Doc had the luxury of sleeping in the car. And the rest had the hard ground that would be too hot during the day and too cold at night.

That afternoon, Rick was at the bottom of the gate, grilling up some snack for the team or rather just for himself, since they all just had lunch. Doc was hiding from the sun, repairing a mech. At the opposite of the gate, Rave was checking the Killian plane's engine. He was a scrawny Charmeleon wearing a pilot suit and a helmet with head up display.

Catherine and Axel was at the top of the gate, taking cover behind a short wall. In her hand was a sniper rifle that leaned on the wall for support. Under her feet were empty casings and magazines put in a large pail. Axel was standing behind her. His visor enhanced his vision, allow him to look beyond the gate. They both were aiming at a Scrafty bandits running in a chaotic fashion over half a mile away. Under the bandits feet were bullets holes and chunk of gray ground. The bandits was breathing like a filthy beast. Sure he was exhausted, but he got to keep going if he didn't want to end up like his friends. Those who were scattered in front of the gate, dead.

Click, Click 'Okay, Catherine. That was my last clip. Call it off.'

'Aw shit.' She stood up and backed away from the wall, handling Axel the empty rifle. She then turned around, looking at the runaway bandit, sighed.

'Why wasting so much ammo and effort for one bandit?'

'You know the saying "What doesn't kill you make you stronger? I don't make stronger enemies. Once they get away, they will return and shoot you in the back.'

'Well let him, we got enough barrier and fire power for that.'

'Better safe than sorry. You can never know what kind of shit that guy could cause in the future.'

'Had some unpleasant experience in the past?' Axel said, trying to analyzing her behavior.

'Who hasn't these days?'

'So, who got away?'

'Hehehe, quite the contrary.' That line got Axel stumped for a brief moment. Catherine continued. 'But screw it, it's doesn't matter now. Look at him, that little shit is nearly there.' She pointed at the mountain in the horizon.

Axel then looked to his right and said. 'He's not.'

'What?'

Before Catherine and the bandits knew, a white and blue car rammed into him, flaying him like a rag doll. 'Ouch, that shit got to hurt. Yeah, that karma for ya. Or car-ma, haha, get it?' She looked behind her and he was gone. 'Oh come on. It's not that bad.' She looked around and saw him was climbing down the ladder. 'Where the fuck are you going? She asked.

'Everybody in the car. Get ready for a pursuit.'

'Pursuit of what?' She then ran back to the wall and saw a large convoy was behind the white car. The convoy were trucks, all with spikes and Bandits Kingdom marking on them. In the heart of the convoy was a tank with a golden paint job. Catherine squinted her eyes, she thought she saw someone standing on the tank. And then a bright purple orb was slowly building up on the Pokémon's head and then headed straight to her.

'Aw shit.' She exclaimed before the orb ran to her at an amazing speed. It then impacted the gate, setting of a purple blast that flung her out of the gate and crash landed on the ground. Her barrier was broken and her back was nearly so. She screamed and laid there, motionless for a moment. Incredible pain started to plague her back. Not a second too soon, a needle was jammed into her neck.

'Calm down. Do not move. Let the medication do the work.' It was Doc.

'Doc, I got the car ready, let's move.' Rick urged him from the driver seat.

'Sure. Sorry, have to leave you here. No hard feeling. The medication should be enough.'

'Oh fuck you.' She said as the pain was numbing down.

'She's fine, on my way.' He said before getting away from her vision.

Doc got on the car through a side door and Axel got behind the turret. When everyone was settled, Rick turned the ignition. The engines revved up and the car sped through the gate. It then cut a line toward the last truck of convoy.

Far away, in the front of the convoy, the car that rammed the bandit had the logo of Infinity painted on its doors. Inside there was only one driver, a Flareon wearing bright orange armor and had a suitcase handcuffed to her wrist. She was talking to an Umbreon on a computer screen in were the glove box should be.

'What do you mean by 4 more minutes? These bandits are closing fast on me. I would be dead in 2 minutes.'

'That is the best we got. You are a moving target, it's not easy for us to pin point. Try something, some way to survive until we get there.'

'Argh.' The Flareon grunted before shutting off the communicator.

Outside, back at the tank, the King was standing on the main turret. His psychic power was the only thing that protect him against the strong wind. With a wave of his arm, the bandits' trucks in the line of sight between him and the Infinity car moved to the side. He aimed the crystal on his scepter at the back of the car. A dark purple orb began to form. 'Psychic Flare.' He said before launching the orb forward. That moment, the Infinity car quickly steered to the left, giving it enough space for the orb to pass by. The orb then hit the ground in the far end, created a large explosion of dirt and rock. It left behind a large hole which the Infinity car avoided while one bandits truck didn't. The truck crashed head first to the hole and stopped, creating a blockage for the following trucks.

The tank's chain didn't held back and ran over the tail of the unfortunate truck and pushed the one that got stuck. The entire weight of the tank flattened a truck or two. The King gritted his teeth and charged up another orb.

The top of the Infinity car opened. The Flareon climbed out and placed a heavy Gatling gun on the roof. She slowly balanced herself on top of the car, carefully place the suitcase and picked up the gun. The King squinted his eye in confusion but proceed to fire the orb either way, knowing that the car was on auto pilot and couldn't dodged his attack. However, just like last time, the car steered to the side and dodged the orb once more. The Flareon grinned and pulled the safety switch on the Gatling gun. She closed the hatch and prepped up the gun. She aimed it at the first truck and held the trigger. The barrels began to spin and spat out ultra-hot energy shots. The shot seemingly melted the glass and went right through, splattered everything inside. The truck lost control and skidded along the rocky trail, bumping into a few others. The Flareon used the confusion and cleared out the trucks with her Gatling gun. The remaining pieces were steamrolled over and turned into fireballs by the tank. When there was just her and the King, she aim the gun at him with a smirk on her face.

'You arrogant fool.' Said he as he blocked the heated energy bullets with a double layer of Light Screen. A "Pang" went off behind his back and his barrier caught a shell from Axel's rail gun. He leered back and saw the commotion behind him. All the sounds and destruction happened in the front was making him ignorant to what was happening the minions behind him. The trucks behind the tanks were firing their machine guns like mad at the Genesis's car. And in return an Alakazam behind the roof-mounted-turret was dissing back a few hundred bullets back. Behind him, the King could see a familiar face. The turret gave Axel just enough cover for him to snipe with the rail gun. 'You still haven't, learned your lesson.' The King said through his teeth and launched the shell back at Axel, who ducked down and let the shell went right over his head. The King took a quick breath and collected his thoughts.

The King the turned back to the Flareon, whose Gatling gun was on now recharge. He took aim at her with his scepter. 'One thing at a time.' The King said. The crystal ball shone from within. 'Psybeam.' The King said before shooting a straight purple beam at the Flareon's stomach. The beam pushed her all the way to the front of the windshield. She crashed into the windshield was pinned on it like a mosquito. The suitcase chained to her wrist hit and broke open. An orange plate flew out from it and flew backward. The King's eyes almost shone at the site of the plate. He reached his hand out, breached his front barrier and waiting for the plate to come. When the plate was almost in his grasp, he heard the sound of a hover plane coming to his right. The sound it made was much smoother than his own planes. He turned and saw the Killian plane. The side door was open and a Kirlia in blue trench coat was standing with her left hand channeling psychic energy. She raised her index finger to him and retracted it to her fist. That confused the King until the plate hit him in the forehead and knocked him down on the tank. Catherine used her Psychic to grab the plate then flew it to her hand. 'Ha, shit, that actually work.' That tingling feeling was there when she touch it. But she had no time for that. She slapped on the wall of the plane and said. 'Got the thing. Get the fuck out of here.'

'I'm on it. Geez.' Rave said from the cockpit.

The plane then shifted but then shook violently, throwing Catherine on the metal floor. 'The fuck?' She said.

'Something's, pulling us back. I can't.' The sound of the engines grew louder as Rave put his hand on the lever that control speed. The orange plate then pulled her to the doorway. 'Oh shit!' she said before grabbing the plate tightly and held the rails on top. She saw the King had gotten up and his head was bleeding. He pointed his scepter at the plane and pulled back, playing a tug of war with the plane and her.

'Oh fuck. Do you have any weapon on the side? Big gun that shoots a lot of big bullets really fast.'

'Yeah, here.'

From the floor, a fabricator projector sprouted created a heavy machine gun with shields just like the one on the team's car.

'Yeah, that will fucking do it.' Catherine said before throwing the plate on the floor behind the gun. She suspended it with a heavy dose of Burden and then teleported herself of top of it. Her feet stomped on the plate and applied another Burden on it, sealed it shut. She loaded the ammo box in and started firing at the King.

At that point, Doc changed his target to the King, Axel was aiming his railgun, waiting for the perfect moment-When the mind barrier was destroyed. The Flareon had woken up. Realizing the plate was gone, she got herself out of the windshield and climbed back. She grabbed the Gatling and started firing again. Full auto bullets were coming at King too fast and they were getting closer to him by the seconds. His mind barrier and Light Screens were growing thin. He yelled really loud while raising his scepter. 'Psychic Nova.' He cried and slammed the scepter at the Tank. Creating a humongous purple shock wave around him, which crushed the tanks from within. The shock wave expanded, flinging the trucks, the team's car and the Flareon's car in its wake. Catherine was slapped and pinned to the wall inside the plane. And the plane itself was pushed outward. Rave lost control and the plane was heading to the mountainous region. Knowing where things were heading, she reclaimed the plate and said 'Sorry'. She teleported herself out of the wall and jump through the doorway. She covered herself in a psychic shield that somewhat nullified the damage caused by her fall. The plane continued to spin and crashed to a mountain. But it didn't exploded.

She stood there and sighed in relief. But panic when she saw an angry look from the King. He was still kneeling on the tank (or whatever left of it) but his eyes were on her. 'Oh fuck.' She held tight to the plate and immediately teleported away. The King couldn't chase after her as he was still recharging from his attack. He told himself, he would love to chase his pray.

Catherine got herself quite far away from the original spot, she made a turn at the mountain range and found a path that led to a large sand valley. She looked behind her, still no Alakazam to be found. She teleported deep into the valley, finding a cave or something place to hide.

Out of nowhere, the King appeared in front of her with his scepter was in batter position. Catherine instantly teleported behind him. He missed his strike and left an open for her. She punched the King in the back, making a cracking sound. The Pokémon fell to the ground. 'Gotcha.' she said and stomped the Alakazam in the spine, snapping it in half with her boot.

But then he disappeared into a puff of smoke under her feet. 'Mirror substitute?' Catherine said before teleported a few hundred feet away from another scepter slam. The real King had missed once again. Catherine charged forward, gaining momentum and stroke out her fist. He turned to her and she teleported behind his back. Predicted her intention, he put the scepter behind his back and activated a green Protect orb around himself. A mean to block her punch without even looking. He did this with the intention of toying and insulting her. 'You are too predictable.' He said. But then, he couldn't hear her punch impacted his shield. When the shield disappeared, he immediately teleported away, fearing Catherine was pulling a trick. Nothing, he turned around, seeing Catherine was high tailing away from him with the plate was still in her hand.

He realized the foolish game he and she had played and decided to finish things right then. He took control of the plate and pulled it. Catherine felt the resistance and held it tighter with her own psychic power. She flipped the plate around and attached it to her back. She then ran straight at him with a Focus Blast charging up in her hand. The plate shone as the orb in her hand built up. The orb focused and changed its color to red almost instantly. That caught the King off guard. He stopped pulling and prepared for a counter attack. Catherine threw the orb when he stopped his psychic hold on the plate. The King pulled up a Light screen from the ground. The orb came in contact with the Light Screen, shattering it in one large explosion. The shards of mental material was shot at the King by the force of the concussive shock wave. But they couldn't do more but knocked him back for his normal layer of psychic barrier sacrificed itself for his safety. Catherine teleported to him and grabbed him by the crown on his neck, got some of beard in the process. He quickly used his free hand to cover Catherine's head and transferred something to her head with a psychic glow. A numbing sensation went through her head, warping the reality around her. Catherine unhanded him and went for his arm, squeezing it with a bone crushing force. The King cried out and pulled his hand back. Catherine suddenly got something hard struck her face and made the world around her dissolved for a second or two. The King then teleported away from her and kept a straight line of sight with a disorientated Catherine. He raised his hand and Catherine was slowly lifted from the ground. He then moved his fingers, attempted to get his psychic hold on her. She then shook violently and in a rage filled scream. Coating herself with bright purple glow, she teleported away. Completely disappeared from his sight. After that, things were silent. The King looked back and saw nothing. He looked in all direction and decided to lock himself in a Protect for safety. Still silence. During the short, immobilized moments in the Protect, he remembered one direction he hadn't look-up. 'Focus Slam.' Catherine broke the silent with her trade mark scream and threw a large red orb at him. The King opened his mouth and stretched his eyes wide at the red light coming down. He crossed his arm and hope the green barrier hold. The base of the Protect orb just started to disappear when the red orb hit, fortunate for the king. The red orbs went off, triggered a brilliant light and a boom. A crunching noise was heard as the Protect orb was hammered down, pinning the King with it. Around him, ripples of sand and small rocks was flowing and expanding. The King's ears were bleeding. He kneel down and curled up, feeling the shaking ground.

When he couldn't felt any more vibration, he stood up from the center of a large crater. 'That's the best you got?' He said. Then an unknown force concentrated around his body and lifted him up high in the air. Catherine teleported beneath him and fired away her Lady Death and Anima. Juggling the Alakazam up like a bone filled punching bag. Luckily his mind barrier had returned and bounced her shot. He held his scepter and charged up a purple orb. She then jumped and teleported on top of him. She continued firing while aiming down. The King couldn't maneuvered himself to turn back and attack her. With a window of opportunity open, she propelled herself by focusing psychic power to her feet. She punched Anima forward and let it connected to the invisible barrier. She spammed the trigger, fired the weapon repeatedly. In the tenth shot, one bullet actually hit the plate on his back, somehow cracked it. However, things were happened too fast that she didn't notice. She threw her hand forward, quickly grabbed the plate and ripped it out. There were a lot of resistant from his psychic link. But fun fact, it is much harder to focus on one point when you were falling down to your death. She then threw the plate away.

The King was hopelessly watching the ground getting closer. Suddenly he had Catherine in his vision again. She was down at the ground, raising her leg. When was a few feet above ground, she shifted to a hand stand double kicked the King in the stomach. A loud crack and dirty flesh sound came from the point of contact were overshadowed by his screaming. The kick tossed him upward again, shorter than the last. And like the last time, Catherine teleported on top of him. This time though, she was standing in the air. Focus psychic power in her hands, she shot herself down. She crushed his back with her steel soles. Both then landed at the ground a second later with a series of crunching noise of the Alakazam's spine and rib cage.

Things went silent again. Catherine then allowed herself to take a breather and looked down. She saw a horrific thing happened under her boots. The Alakazam under her feet was shaking, like suffering a serious muscle spasm. It let unsettling grunt escaping its mouth. 'It can't be.' She said and frozen there for a while. Another snapping sound and the head turned 180 degree, facing her. The King's face was covered in sand and sharp rock dug into his flesh. One eye was popped and the nerve connect it to the socket was expose. And then came the oozing blood, black, and tar like blood as the mouth stretched wide for a grin.

'Yes, you like what I, created?' The mangled head said. His remain eyes began to glow bright purple.

'What the fuck are you?'

'I'm the King. But the thing you see, in front of you is just my puppet. My master technique. The Mind plate gave me a lot of interesting abilities. Including, this.' His eye flashed and Catherine was petrified. However, she could still feeling the mass of meat and muscle moving under her boots and hear everything the head said. She tried to snap out, but fruitless. She suddenly began to feel herself elevated from the Alakazam body.

'I don't enjoy going out in the Outland very much. So I got another body, do most of work. The plate and a few, special equipment gave me full control over the body from the safety of my throne. Congratulation, you managed to almost kill, a quarter of my vitality and power. I'm impressed. But sadly, you cannot face me. Not if you are dead.' He then rose and twisted his head back, letting the head hanging in a crooked position. The blood from his face and mouth flowed back by the effect of gravity and dripped down, slowly. He had already encased her fully with his psychic glow. Her mind at that point was blank.

"You fools, give me control now! Can you hear me? What are you doing? Give me control now!" The malevolent voice in her head demanded.

An abrupt pain shot through her system and snapped her from the trance. She screamed and saw the Alakazam copse had broken her right arm from within her with his psychic power.

'As an honorable king, I shall give you the liberty, to let go of the plate.'

'Fuck you.'

'Fine.' He then broke her left leg at the middle of her shin. This time she held back her scream and instead used the adrenaline to focus her mind.

'Now?'

'Break one more thing and you will regret it.' She said in a deep, menacing voice.

The Alakazam grinned and said. 'Fine, your neck should do.'

He raised his hand and watched as a cloud of dark purple escape her sleeves. Found it weird, yet he still focused on her neck. With the psychic glow in place he began to turn his hand.

A hot fist struck crooked head, swung the head to the back, breaking the Alakazam line of sight. Didn't know what happened, the head swing back and caught glimpse of a dark purple figure lunged at him. A punch that broke his regenerative psychic barrier in one hit? Impossible. The King thought from the empty vessel of a body. Another punch landed in his chest. It dusted quite a few ribs and send him flying all the way to a mountain in a distance. His broken spine slammed against the rock. The head adjusted its limited vision and saw Catherine levitating a few yards away. A dark purple aura covered her from head to toe. Her hair had grew longer compare to the fight with the Glaceon. Her left hand reached for her right arm and snapped her bone back in a quick painful crack. She twisted the arm a bit and then let it straightened itself out. She did the same with her leg, but was struggling a bit more. She then dashed at the Alakazam with the speed of the wind. She stopped and stared at his scared, remaining eye.

'What are you?' He said.

'How ironic. That's all you have to say for yourself, you stuttering sack of shit?'

'I am n'

Catherine dug her hand into his chest, string of intestine tangled to her hand. The fluid inside slowly turned to vapor when it came in contact with her aura. The Alakazam couldn't possibly feel pain, but Catherine could taste something from the Alakazam face when he saw his inside-terror. She tossed him away from the mountain rocks. Some pieces of gut stuck in her hand, which she just casually shook off.

His limp body hit the ground and slid along the rocky ground, battering his body some more. Didn't wait for him to stop, Catherine appeared right in front of him and punched him in the right shoulder, destroyed it and kept him sliding. She let the friction on his bottom, back, and spine continued doing the work for her. He tried to connect his fingers from both hands. He mumbled. 'Relea-'

Catherine float beside him. 'Don't you dare 'She grabbed his right arm 'run away from me!' She stomped her feet down. She stopped but he didn't. The lost shoulder joint and the sudden stop, those two element made them slim, boney arm just popped right off. Catherine or whatever that was in her body, thought it would be amusing to beat his body until there was nothing left with this arm. But it wouldn't matter much, as she had already won and any extra damage to this body would be nothing more but a practice section with a punching bag that bleed. It decided that, things would be better if that body is destroy in one quick "Spectacular" attack. So she broke the arm in half like a toothpick and walked toward the Alakazam body. She walked along the trail of blood, flesh and clothing shreds. In the end of the trail, a lump of red and yellow flesh laid.

The sound of her footsteps made the body moved away, crawling on the ground at a sluggish rate. She pinned him with her Burden. She then blocked the sun light in front of his near destroyed dangling eye. 'Next time, fight me with everything you got.' She said and proceeded to pick him up by the leg. 'It's time for you to get the fuck out of my sight!' She spun twice or three times then let him go, flying up in the air.

She charged up two small Focus Blast in each of her hands. Red in her right, dark purple in her left. She then slapped them together, mashing them into one big purple orb with hint of red. Let her left hand in charge of it, she straighten her left arm. She moved her right hand and grabbed the left forearm. 'Focus' She aimed her arm with the orb like a cannon. She closed her right eye and locked her left vision to the flailing body. 'Arm' when everything was right, she shot the orb. 'CANNON!' She yelled and watched the orb flew and consumed the body entirely. The orb then collapsed on itself, shrinking and abruptly expanding in the form of a mini super nova. The explosion light was so bright that it outshone the afternoon sun in a millisecond, caught the attention of her team and a few other Pokémon.

Catherine stood there, the wind and the sound was then hit her. Yet she still held still like a statue. Her aura kept raging on. She felt the appearance of someone. The Flareon was a few hundred feet away from her. She kept her Gatling gun at Catherine, but couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger. She didn't want to end up like her Glaceon colleague. Catherine leered her left eye at the Flareon. Her eyes had change. They were now black and red. Catherine turned turn to her. The Flareon pulled the trigger. Fiery energy blast left the barrels, immediately disrupted Catherine's barrier after a few shot. But Catherine was unharmed after that. The aura branched out and covered her. It blocked or rather absorbing all energy blasts. Catherine pointed her arm at the Flareon, making her flinched. A Focus Blast was charging up, this time it's built up slowly. 'You can run if you want.' She said and the Flareon kept standing there.

The Focus Blast was ready. 'Time's up.' Catherine's right hand suddenly gripped her left arm tightly and lowered it down. She was clenching her teeth and squeezed her arm, making the Focus Blast diminished in size and disappeared completely. 'Re-gaining, contr-ol.' Catherine said through her teeth. The aura dark purple retreated back inside and Catherine collapsed on the ground. The Flareon dropped her gun and fell to the ground as well. She breathed heavily and looked at the leftover piece of the handcuff on her arm. She still had to finish the mission. The plate was still attached to Catherine's back. She picked up her gun and walked toward Catherine unconscious body, cautiously.

The Genesis's car then entered the valley and parked between her and Catherine. She raised her Gatling gun. The roof machine guns pointed down at her.

'Highly recommend you stop.' Doc said. She fired her gun, making him hide behind the shield. She continued firing until the gun started recharging.

'Now gave me the plate or I'll kill you!' The Flareon disassembled her Gatling gun and took out a shotgun from within. She took a piece of machine from her armor and put it in the shotgun.

'Now, how is that a threat to us? The only reason I haven't shot you is because I wish to negotiate.'

'There's nothing to negotiate.' She fired her shotgun.

'I don't think so.' Axel voice appeared behind her. She couldn't respond fast enough and got a jolt of electricity from a stun gun knocked her out. Axel kicked her weapon away and wrapped her in his vines. 'It's clear.' He said.

The front of the car opened and Rick climbed out of his seat. Doc climbed out of the turret and jumped down from the car. He then immediately raised his submachine gun.

'Released her. You can have the plate.' An elite said behind Axel's back. 'Just be calm and place Firona there. Nobody will be hurt.'

'Are you serious? We can take them.' The first elite said.

'We are outnumbered and outgunned. Think twice.'

Axel turned around. Facing two elites. An Umbreon with a sniper rifle and a Glaceon with bandages all over along with a submachine gun in her arm. He gently unwrapped the unconscious Flareon and placed her on the ground in front of him. When the Flareon was settled down, he stepped back. Allowing the Glaceon to check on her. She then put the Flareon on her shoulder and walked back to her ally. The Umbreon nodded.

'Good. Thank you for not killing her.'

'There is no reason to.' Axel said and watched as they ran toward a small hover plane. A few seconds later, the plane took off. Its engines made no sound during the takeoff, explaining why he didn't detect them. Rick kept his rocket launcher until the plane disappeared from his sight.

Later, the sound of a few Killian planes came and soon they landed beside the team's car.

'About time they show up.' Rick said.

Axel told Rick to carry Catherine to one of the plane and he obeyed. Catherine didn't respond when Rick picked her up, just breathing soundly. Axel walked around the valley and saw the disembody arm.

'Unacceptable, this rate of back up is simply unacceptable.' Doc said as he walked toward a plane. He knocked on the door. The door abruptly swung open and a white foam covered Charmeleon jumped out. 'Where is that bitch?' He said angrily.

Later that day. In the medical wing.

Celeste was lying in a regular room. She had the first bed to the exit. She was almost fully heal from her wound. The regeneration process was nearly complete and there was nothing left on her stomach but a round scar covered by bandages. She had woke up from one of her daily naps. One that usually lasted four hours or more. It was not what she would enjoy, but that was the only thing she could so in this empty four beds room. The doctor don't allow her to leave the room and she was the only patient here. Beside her bed, on the drawer was a handheld gaming system but it didn't keep her occupied for long. The enjoyable games were too short and the long ones were just too hard and frustrating. Her teammates did visit for the first few days but the knowledge of she was going be okay made them stopped. Axel also stopped after taking the job in the Outland. She hadn't saw him since. She signed and closed her eyes again, getting back to sleep. But then she heard a noise beside her. It was Catherine laying on the bed next to her. She got active-Nano casts on her arm and leg. She was levitating a scroll with strange Unown markings written on it along with a few geometric objects with similar markings. She turned around and faced Celeste. 'Hey, sunshine girl. How you doing?' She saluted her with her left arm.

'Catherine! What happened to you?'

'You know, the usual shit. Falling from the stairs.'

'We don't have stairs, Catherine.'

'Eh, yeah, ummmmm, yeah, I'm a shit liar.' "How ironic" The voice in her head said.

'What? You don't have to you know? Don't need to hide anything from me. I'm a nurse after all.'

'Don't wanna be an insensitive bitch since, you know. Don't want to remind you of the fucker that did that to you.'

A flash back went inside Celeste's head, making her closed her eyes. 'He hurts you?'

'Yeah, pretty obvious. I got a bit carry away. But I kicked his ass pretty good though. He was scared shitless of me. Get some comfort from that.'

'You what? How did you?'

'I got really lucky and I kinda pushed it.'

'Well, you certainly did better than us.'

'See, this is why I want to hide that from you.'

'Oh no, don't be.'

'Nah, don't hide it. We Kirlia have a thing for emotion. I got a read on you while laying here. Don't freak out. We got those automatically, can't help it. And you getting uncomfortable for remembering that. I should just fucking stop.'

'Oh, I don't mind. And I mean that.'

'Okay, whatever you say.'

There was an awkward silent. Both of them sniffed the sterile air.

'So, what do you do around her the pass few days?' Catherine said.

'Sleeping, and nothing much.'

'Damn, that's gotta sucks.'

'Well, I have visits, the first few days.'

'Oh, yeah, Doc took us all so Axel couldn't be here.'

'I know. I kinda figured that out. How is he? Is he okay?'

'He's fine. Kinda miss you. Luckily he didn't get sappy. He just acknowledged it and do his shit. '

'Oh, good.' Sounded a bit disappointed. 'So how was the mission? Beside the battle with that Alakazam.'

'Well, nothing much actually. A few bandits did attack but Axel and the other got to them first. Didn't get many kill.' She paused. 'Soooooo, how long are you going to be here?'

'A few more day. More or less. You should be up around the same. Just broken bones right?'

'Yeah, big mistake from the bastard.'

'So now we can keep each other from growing bored in the meantime.'

'I was thinking the same thing.'

Another awkward silent.

'So, what are you doing with those, thingy?' Celeste asked.

'Well, I'm practicing some psychic control. Got to be ready for that fucking King again. This is the only thing that I could do that doesn't require arms and legs. Fucking bastard, I have to levitate myself to even use the bathroom.'

'You can improve your abilities much quicker with a few neuro implants.'

'Don't know though. How does that even work?'

And they spent the rest of that they exchanging words, despite having a hard time to find a middle ground for their backgrounds were so different. When the explanation of neuro implants was over, they looked for new topics. There were fashion and lifestyle from Celeste's end and violent from the other end. They both kept a rather close lid of their past as the endless conversation went on. And both seem to respect that. Their middle ground came in form of Celestial's fairy tales, something that the Sylveon seem interested in the most. And to some extent, Catherine as well. For those high tales were some of the dearest memories she had with her mother. When the stories started flowing, both felt more comfortable with each other. And the kept on telling and listening until one eventually fell asleep.

At Akemi, the city of neon lights buildings that never sleep. One of the largest city in Asuna. At the 56th floor of an Infinity building located in in the East side of the city. The Umbreon, Flareon and Glaceon elites were having conversation near the large window.

'Okay, I admitted I did shot first. But take into account that the Kirlia herself was going on the aggressive, she pointed gun at me. There you happy, Shade?'

'Well, don't be bitter.' She pondered. 'It is appeared that Genesis is on a quest of their own and not in cahoots with the bandits in the disappearing of our assets and equipment. Making provoking the agent an unwise move, Icelyn.'

'What are you getting at? That I should just stay there and let potential power hungry maniac kill me?'

'Well, one cannot be sure about any of that. But you are just a Pokémon. Mistake could happen and are allowed to, once.'

'Bandits, Genesis, what the different? And who care about a few missing junks? Today I saw her, that Kirlia is not normal I tell you. She had something, disturbing inside her.'

'You choked for some reason and let they got a chunk of Acreus's power. More power for them, and that's terrible. Remember who turned Essal this way?' The Glaceon pointed her finger at the Flareon.

'Stop it. She could kill me. And look who is saying, if not for us she could have killed you too.'

'Easy both of you. Get over the past and don't get upset. Losing control is unprofessional.'

'You were not there.' The Flareon said, shaking a bit.

'Moving on. She might be a furious beast but it's just one agent. In some regards, I don't think the rest of Genesis is that bad.'

'Now you are defending them. What's wrong with you?' The Glaceon said.

'Not them all, just Lucious and that Snivy. He took the high road and none lethally took you down.'

'And you think that is okay?' The Flareon said.

'No, I think it's not that bad.'

'And what the hell is with Lucious?' The Glaceon said.

'He did tried to fix the mistake his father made, that deserves something.'

'Yeah, my fire fang in his face.'

'You said these things because he invited you to dinner once.' The Glaceon said and pointed at the Umbreon.

'Pf, please, you are the only one who has not been over that.'

'Stop all this pointless gossips.' The Espeon's voice jumped in. 'We are Infinity's elites, and we are fully committed to all this. If Lance say so, we do so. End of story. And Shade get back to your post.'

'Sure, I'll do it. So long.' The Umbreon smiled and walked away.

'You two, get those reports ready. And return to you positions as well.'

'Yes, madam.' Both saluted the Espeon and said in unison.
