"So, where are we going?" I asked her.
"Following them won't be easy, they have covered their trail well, finding them will be next to impossible, but don't worry, I know their kind, they have struck once, and will strike again soon enough" She said in an inescrutable tone.
"Why do you think they'll do that?"
"They saw you transform, even though those two fools left, there were more watching, supervising, I fear that there might be more parties involved here"
"Hold on a second, you mean this was all planned? Why do they want him for? What do they know about me? Who are those other parties you're talking about" I asked, exasperated at this lack of information, why didn't I know about any of this?
She closed her eyes and sighed annoyed. "Your questions tire me and I don't have all the answers, or all the patience to indulge you, let's go, for someone is surely on it's way here to you, to aid or harm I don't know, but we better not take the risk" She said, in a pressing tone, then I noticed something; her eyes were not red, but blue, like a linoone's...
"Who are you?" I asked, still looking at her eyes. She was definitely not acting like a normal typhlosion at all, just like…..him
"Let's just move, I'll explain when we're safer" she said and started walking, and I followed, trying to keep up.
"We've been separated"
As the two men walked down the hallway, carrying the unconscious linoone they wondered why their boss had made them capture such a useless thing, maybe he wants a new paperweight, or a new coat, or just for fun, like taking candy from a baby. But there was something off, he had asked for this as a high priority task, considering it was the boss, that made as much sense as using up the city's entire water supply to take a bath, he was a practical man, and they weren't just some lowlifes, they were high hunters, they should be out there hunting legendaries, not useless furballs you could run into anywhere.
"Well Sam, if you wanna hear my opinion I wouldn't pay so much for this, whatever it has or does"
A woman walked up to them, dressed in a black leather outfit, long, straight black hair falling on her shoulders, young, pretty, too bad it was only on the outside...
"I'll take it from here kids, you go back to your stuff, you'll get your paychecks soon enough so just give me that and piss off" She said in a cocky tone.
"Nice to see you too Jess" One of them replied.
"That's Miss Lang for you" She said, irritated "And you call me Jess one more time and your manhood will be gone forever, if it didn't abandon you already, now scram" She said as she grabbed the net with the linoone in it.
"Hmm, just like a big bag of potatoes, I sure hope the boss has a very good reason for this" She thought to herself as she carried the unconscious linoone and headed to the elevator.
"I can't wake up"
"I don't get it, why don't we just go to my house?" I asked, tired of walking.
"That's the first place they'll be looking in fool" she said, annoyed "I thought your linoone taught you something, I think you should have paid more attention"
"Wait, what?" I said, stunned and I stopped in my tracks "How do you know so much about us?"
"Tokin isn't the only one who can perceive more than your surface thoughts, I can't read your mind but I can see what you're thinking the most about, I thought you would know, given that I'm obviously, no ordinary typhlosion, just as he is not an ordinary linoone, how many of us have you seen acting like me or him?"She said, with a frustrated tone, she then paused for a moment. "Hmmmm…he has taught you against hate and revenge, then why are you disobeying him if you praise him so much?" She inquired.
"Because I need to rescue him and I need this hate, it keeps me going. He also taught me to do as needed for a worthy cause" I replied, getting angrier and more desperate every second he crossed my mind.
"Hehehe" she chuckled "Very well, but you should ask yourself what is worthy, let's hope you can actually do what's necessary, now if you don't mind we must press on" She said with an unreadable expression on her face.
"Wait, what?" I stopped, perplexed.
"Well, you seem to be sure you're following his advice closely, but keep your mind open, things aren't always what they seem, in fact, they rarely are" She said and went back to walking.
Suddenly there came a huge engine noise and the wind threw me off balance. Terra just stood there, watching what was in the sky, something that looked like a dropship of some sort with a serious yet calm look on her face, even curious.
"Wait, do not run, they are not the ones we are hiding from" She said, with her neutral voice, though I noticed some relief.
From the dropship two men got down, they looked like soldiers. I took several steps back, were they here looking for the two men?
"You must come with us, we mean you no harm but if you try to run you'll force me to use this, and we don't want that, do we?" He lifted up his gun.
I just stood there, perplexed; Terra, on the other hand, looked as if nothing had ever happened.
"This should be interesting" She muttered and then we both got in the dropship.
"I can't dream"
