Sarah was in a good mood as she worked on the lists for who had received what drug. "So according to the list, Tabby has had three durability treatments. She's also had a greater endurance, strength and speed tab as well as the general magic tab for increasing magical potential. In another week she'll get the intelligence boosting one. After that we should probably go back through the cycle again then pick one aspect you want her to focus on."

Gabrielle nodded, "Do you have a suggestion Miss alpha?"

"Maybe max her out on speed and endurance tabs?"

"I guess I can see the logic, though if she gets as jumpy as Laura than I'm going to be annoyed." She grinned.

"Hopefully that doesn't happen."

"So what about everyone else?"

"Well I've gotten three doses of the durability drug and one each of the magic, strength, endurance and speed max tabs same as Tabby. Next week I'll grab the intelligence boosting one. After that I figure I'll just alternate between the physical ones for a while. It should help to keep me from being eaten by a feral."

Gabrielle leaned back on the couch, "Correct me if I'm wrong but Helen got two doses of the durability drug as well as one greater strength and greater speed tab."

"Correct, Morrigan started with the magic and endurance tabs. I figured that would be a good fit for our dark magic type caster. We are slowly starting her on the T2s as well. I'm trying not to overload her like we did with Tabby."

"Probably a good plan. So over all what do you think of the Harem?"

"I don't think we are doing that badly for a bunch of beginners. That being said I wouldn't mind working on capturing some ferals in a slightly more honest way than using my sister's illusion magic as we can't do that in gym battles."

"I know, I know, the badges would give us a certain amount of credit when dealing with other tamers but still it's annoying to not be able to use everything we have in a fight."

Sarah snickered, "Yeah I can understand that."

"So how's Leo's group shaping up?"

"Let's see Tiffany seems to have calmed down in the last week. As you're aware, she's doing well in weapons training. She's still having issues being distracted by things the rest of us can't see or smell but other than that not to bad. As for the durability stuff she has used one so far. The tabs, everything but the magic one. Leo's planning that for next week. Laura's taken one dose of the durability drug and one magic tab and one each of the greater tabs save speed. Last but not least Kyara wolfed done her durability drug as well as her speed tab earlier today, that brings her up to one greater speed, one greater endurance and one greater strength tab. Basically she's getting a good start on being a decent combatant. So all in all not too bad. We should probably get everyone we can more of the durability drug when we can afford it."

Gabrielle muttered, "I just wish it wasn't so expensive."

"Yeah but so worth it. Besides just think of how much longer practices will be now… wait a minute." Sarah frowned.

Gabrielle chuckled, "Well, now that you mention it, that does sound like a great idea."

Sarah shook her head, "Not even the idea of longer training times is going to ruin my day now that we sent the annoying neo on her way. I'm just hoping that her children turn out better than her."

"We can only hope."

"So how do you think Leo's doing out hunting?"

"Probably not to badly as he hasn't screamed for help over the com-link yet."

Leo watched with amusement as he watched Tiffany's ears stand straight up as she rotated her head slightly trying to pick up some sound.

Kyara sniffed the air a few times, "Don't smell anything."

"Hush, something isn't right up ahead." Tiffany tried to ignore Laura's bouncing in place as she focused on what she was hearing. She'd gotten slightly better at filtering out the various scents and smells but some times things still trapped her attention in weird ways. She was sort of annoyed that she was going to have to have another chat with Laura about making noise when she wanted silence. It sounded like some type of fighting and possibly guns to her. "Sounds like some people are in trouble up ahead. Kyara you're with me, Laura guard Leo." Tiffany took off at a run with Kyara not to far behind.

Leo smiled as he watched the naked fox girl take off at a run. "That never stops being a heart warming sight. We should probably make sure they don't get into any trouble.

Laura sighed as Leo took off at a run in the general direction Tiffany disappeared in. She was just glad that he wasn't the type to get pissed when she easily caught up to him. To him the pace was probably close to his top running speed without it being a sprint, to her it was nothing more than a light jog. She knew she could easily leave him in her dust but that wouldn't be good as her job was to guard him. She almost stumbled when the sounds of an explosion reached her ears from the direction Tiffany went.

Leo stumbled out of the woods and onto the path only to come upon the sight of a massacre. A broken wagon was overturned in the middle of the road. Several charred partial body parts were strewed around the ground near the wagon. He twitched as he noticed several of the pieces slowly trying to pull themselves together again. He stifled the urge to vomit as he looked around frantically for his alpha. He was relieved to find her several feet away from the edge of the clearing clutching her ears in pain. Kyara was standing guard as she tried to figure out what was going on. He quickly noticed that there were two men carrying some sort of rifle standing near the wagon laughing. He was just happy that they appeared to be too busy to have noticed his group hiding at the edge of the forest. Next to them stood a strange and rather frightening girl with odd reddish colored skin as well as hooves for feet. The girl's demonic horns only added to the creepy factor as far as Leo was concerned. Her hair was a tangled mess. While that normally wouldn't have been enough, at least in this world, for Leo to assume she was evil the fact that they were standing there laughing while a young female voice was screaming from inside the burning wagon was enough to tip the scales. "Laura give them a mana bolt then start with your thunder attacks." He gestured to Kyara, "Use thunder on the team members."

Kyara nodded, she couldn't be completely sure but he was vaguely sure that he had said use thunder on the two men. Of course with the ringing in her ears from the bombshell girl exploding it was hard to tell. She peeked over the hedge and summoned up the energy for her new thunder attack.

Laura watched slightly amused as her mana bolt slammed into the cardian. The demon pokegirl twisted to glare her way after the bolt slammed into her. Laura was more than a little disappointed that the attack did little more than annoy the girl. She was glad the that girl's counter attack was slowed by the large blast of thunder that slammed into the team group. That was the only thing that saved Laura from being gutted as she frantically tried to dodge a bolt of dark magic.

Kyara was fairly sure that Laura had at least several broken rips and a punctured lung as Laura collapsed like a bag of rotting potatoes. She figured one more attack would finish Laura off for good. She wasn't going to let that happen if she could at all avoid it. She was just glad that the demon girl showed at least some damage from the thunder attack. It was at least enough it was worth trying again. But first she needed a way to get the demon to not focus on her downed alpha. She briefly went over the various new attacks she had from the T2s in her mind before settling on an old one to create a bit of misdirection. She quickly wove a physic illusion of a knight girl in dark armor jumping out of the bushes several yards away and running at the demon. It wasn't the best illusion but it was enough to get the demon girl to turn and target the illusion and fire off one of her dark bolts.

Leo quickly returned Laura to her pokeball then ducked for cover. If her blasts were taking out his pokegirls with one shot he really didn't want to get hit with one. He wished he had telepathy like his sister so he could tell Tiffany what to do.

Tiffany was even more annoyed at the group than she had been after watching her harem sister fall to the girl's blast. She really didn't like her odds but figured there might be a way to win still. She pulled herself to her feet and took off at a run toward the demon girl. She just hated the fact that it was a bit of an all or nothing attack.

The cardian wasn't exactly sure what to think as the large bunnygirl charged her and unleashed a powerful thunder attack. She had just finished dodging most of that blast when she unleashed her drain energy attack. She was more than slightly annoyed as the girl jumped impossibly high to avoid the attack. She summoned another bolt of dark energy ready to drive the blast into the girl when she landed only to be shocked as hell when the girl seemed to hang in the air for a second. Her surprise was short lived though as a cloud of mist erupted from the girls mouth. The cardian had barely enough time to scream "Shit" before her head exploded in agony from the pain as she collapsed.

Tiffany fell out of the sky no longer having the concentration to pull off the brief second of levitation that had allowed her to dodge the girl's attack. She was still working on learning the ability from Morrigan. That brief second of floating time was all she was able to pull off so far but at least it seemed to have done the trick. She was going to have to practice her mist attack more. At least the girl was down for the count.

Leo waved his wand at the wagon and produced a stream of water to help with the fire. "You can come out now." He watched as a teenage girl slowly made her way out of the wreck. She was decently cute, especially with her shoulder length light brown hair slightly messed up from climbing out of the wreckage. Her clothes were, even by normal standards, quite modest. She was wearing grey pants and a wool sweater. She even had a scruffy grey wool hat on her head that completed the cute look. Her eyes were a nice shade of blue. The only thing strange about her was her hands. They looked like they were made of white metal. "Hi, is anyone else trapped." He turned to look at Tiffany, "You okay?"

Tiffany still couldn't hear anything and felt like crap, she shook her head, "Ball me please."

Leo nodded as he recalled Tiffany to her pokeball.

The girl shook her head, "No just me, I hitched a ride with the wagon driver on the way back from a relatives. I took some photos in exchange for the ride." She went silent for a second as she noticed the blood smears that used to be the drivers and guards. "They seemed like such a nice couple, I wonder what is in the lockbox that would get a team to attack."

Leo frowned, "Don't know but after I ball all of their pokegirls I intend to find out. That is if they are still alive. You might want to grab the rest of your stuff."

Kyara grinned and continued tying up the bad people using strips of their own clothing. She had already returned the cardian to her pokeball. She shook her tail, leave it to her master to think about the cute girl over the dangerous team members scattered around. She frowned as she placed the odd looking rifles in a pile a few steps from the bodies. "Hey boss man, the idiots are still breathing though they look a touch singed. I don't suppose you could id the crawling bits?" She gestured toward the strange metal spine and the quivering pieces of flesh slowly inching toward the spine.

Leo frowned as he pulled out his pokedex, "Yeah sure, give me a second." He pointed it at the various bits, "Bombshell the exploding pokegirl." He read the pokedex for a few. He pulled an empty pokeball off his belt as he walked over to the spine. He carefully ran his fingers down the back of the spine. He quickly pulled his hand away as the bits quickly lurched and started reforming the girl. He gave her a second to come back together fully before dropping the pokeball on her.

The camera girl sighed, she really wasn't sure how to get herself out of this mess. At least the guy was rather cute. He seemed nice enough, at least as good as any of the prospects her family had been looking at for her. "Name's Raven."

Leo collected the pokeball then walked over toward Raven he offered out his hand. "Pleased to meet you, I'm Leo."

Raven smiled and grabbed his hand and shook it. "So I don't suppose you need someone to document your adventures do you?"

"Don't know but I could always use another friend."

She smiled, "So is this everyone in your harem?"

"Yeah but my sister has a milktit, a cat girl and a clowmystic, so it's never really boring."

Her eyes lit up, "A clowmystic? You don't say."

"Yeah, she's a very sweet girl, you'd like her."

"Do you think I could meet her?"

Leo shrugged, "Not sure why not. After we figure out what's in the wagon we can figure out if the team members have a secret base." He went over to the small safe and waved his wand over the lock several times before the door slid open. "Oh."

Raven tried to get a look at what was inside the safe. "What did you find?"

"We need to get out of here as soon as we can. Looks like someone was trying to move certain products under the radar. There are a couple of T2s, some data files and a few stones. Hey Kyara anything good off the team members?"

Kyara frowned, "Just some weird rifles and a few boxes that might be power cells."

"Well that's something. We should probably drag the two goons back to camp. I've got a feeling that if they are well enough connected as to know when someone is shipping suspect goods then we should find some interesting items at their base."

Raven frowned, "You have any idea how dangerous that could be?"

"Only sort of, but I'm sure multiple people will tell me before the night is over." Leo scooped the contents of the safe into his belt pouch.

"You know that's stealing right?"

"I prefer to think of it as salvage. Besides there might be something in the T2s that will keep me and my girls alive. However I don't blame you if you want to leave."

Raven shrugged, "I don't exactly have any place else to go. If I go home my folks will send me off with the next tamer that wanders along. Besides, you saved me from the bandits."

Leo nodded, "Alright people we have a bit of a walk ahead of us."

Gabrielle hadn't really been happy about having to stop working on her homemade milktit icecream to go interrogate a couple of team members. Leo had come back and dumped the two humans off with her as he went to introduce Raven around. She would have liked to stay for part of the introduction but sadly she was much better at ripping secrets from people's heads than her brother was. Still on reflection she was rather happy that she had attempted the information retrieval rather than her brother. He might not have noticed the magical traps placed in the team member's minds until it was too late. Even with her skill she had still lost one of the team members to a trap spell that fried his mind. On the upside she had learned the location and basic security details of the team's hideout. It was cleverly protected by a few spells. Though she figured she would have to be careful as there were probably even more defenses that the team member she had taken the knowledge from didn't know about. Downside being that the leader of this particular team was a dangerously unstable magic user, at least according to the team member. But hey at least he had books on magic she could steal. She glanced at the team member laying in a wreck in front of her. After some of the things she had glimpsed in his mind she had very little remorse as she left him tied up in the middle of a feral infested forest. She muttered, "Bloody useless garbage." as she teleported back to camp.

Leo glanced up as Gabrielle walked back into the tent, "So any luck?"

"Well we've got a location to hit, but if we hit it we are going to have to call our vacation in this world over for a while. There is no way to hit it and get away clean other than running where they can't find us, they are too well connected for that."

Leo nodded, "If it helps shut down this team, I'm game. So how do you want to do it?"

Gabrielle grinned, "I think if we work on the layout of the place and do some cross training with various techniques we can pull a raid off."

"You know you're crazy talking about a raid on a team headquarters."

"Blah, It's not like they're one of the large ones. Besides, they were using magic to protect their secrets they most likely think that dumb and dumber died before giving up any of their secrets. We have time to plan this out and do it right. Besides if we spend two months training for this then they will have relaxed their guard."

"What makes you think they aren't just going to leave between now and then?"

"They've been at their current location for a while and didn't really have any plans to leave."

"If you can draw out the layout and come up with a workable plan I'll start the girls on the training."

Gabrielle nodded, "In two months we party."

Neil Stone frowned as he kept watch on the path leading to the old church, same damn boring thing every day. He was rather annoyed that just because the boss liked Roberts more he was stuck on guard duty again. Personally he thought the location of the hideout couldn't be worse. While the old church did give their agents a cover story for being in such an out of the way place, he didn't think it was worth being stuck out in the middle of some flyspeck town. Still the fact that the church had a hidden wine cellar that happened to be large enough to turn into a base was the only reason he didn't consider it a complete waste. If only the boss let them drink more of the wine. He briefly considered releasing his amazonwu for a bit of entertainment but decided against it. The boss's orders were to remain inconspicuous which meant that if anyone was around he was just the church gardener which would have no reason to have a fighting type. Never mind that it could be for defense against ferals, which were a real problem. He caught a flicker of movement out of the corner of his eye before his skull exploded in pain and everything went black.

Sarah grinned as she inspected her staff for blood stains from the unconscious team member. She wanted to reach up and adjust her mask but she knew it was on correctly as she had already adjusted the stupid thing several times. The only thing that made it better was knowing that everyone was wearing them. Tabby's mental voice interrupted her thoughts, 'grab his security card, hide the body and use invis again.' Sarah nodded then vanished as she called on the power of the invisibility technique that Raven had taught the group. It had taken her almost the whole two months to learn the stupid technique but she couldn't argue with it's effectiveness as she worked her way toward the back room.

The security guard at the entrance didn't even have a chance as Sarah appeared a second before she slammed her staff into the guy's throat. He crumpled with a gurgling sound, only to be finished off with a shot to his head. Sarah quickly slipped the security card into the reader. She smiled when the door to the stairs opened. She as quietly as she could, which was damn quietly as she and her sister were both phased out and floating, headed down the stairs.

Gabrielle briefly wished that she could phase like the girls as she carefully snuck down the stairs following a few yards behind Sarah and Tabby with an invisible Morrigan bringing up the rear. She was just glad that she had left Leo and his girls up top to deal with any sort of reinforcements that might show up. As she looked around the converted wine cellar she could see several people milling around checking inventory and supply lists. She knew that it was just a matter of time before one of them headed up the stairs or checked in or something. She was particularly glad that no one had any pokegirls out. Even though they did have a guard up top and a vault door that should have kept them safe she still thought it was a bit lazy. Obviously they felt that the fact that everyone in the room had a pokeballed girl within easy reach sufficient. She tossed her mental voice out to her girls explaining which targets to take out and doing a count down so that everyone dropped at once. Gabrielle grinned as she dropped her invisibility and slammed both fists into the back of the neck of adjacent team members. She watched them crumple with no small amount of amusement. She was just glad that the rest of the girls had hit their targets as well. She glanced around before directing Sarah to check out what was obviously the main manager's office.

Sarah frowned disgustedly as she phased through the door of the office and took in the scene that greeted her. A fat old guy had a leather wearing pokewomen bent over the table. She would have liked nothing more than to bash his head in and be done with it but she didn't really want to play with a high powered domina type. She smiled as she noticed the girl's pokeball was sitting in plain view on the table. She quickly phased in picked the pokeball up and recalled the girl before dropping the pokeball back to the table and swinging her staff as hard as she could at the guy's throat. Gabrielle had drilled into her the fact that most spell casters couldn't cast if they couldn't talk and even if they could the pain of a crushed throat often made it impossible. She quickly bashed the guy's skull open with her staff before she could find out which type he belonged to. She stepped back as he slumped to the floor. She smiled as she sent the mental all clear to Gabrielle. 'Got him, come loot him.'

Gabrielle smiled as she finished scanning everything she could find into one of several pokepacks they had brought for just this purpose. They were giving themselves twenty minutes to loot everything they could then they were going to leave the guys tied up in the office. She figured she could use one of the phones to call the police. After that her plan was to do a bunch of teleporting and flying before heading off some place to rest. After that they planned to spend a day counting their loot. After that they were probably going back home. She grinned as she thought about all of the interesting computer equipment and machines they were grabbing from this place. Basically everything but the kitchen sink.

Leo grinned as Raven asked him if they were criminals for taking all of the Team's stuff. "Well probably but as there really wasn't a way to make sure it got back to everyone they stole it from and the league would just pocket the stuff, I don't feel that bad about it."

Raven nodded, "So now that we pissed off a bunch of homicidal lunatics, are you going to tell us your game plan?"

"Sure I plan on having Tabby teleport us to her old home and exploring the grounds to see if any of the underground part of the lab survived, after that I figure I'll go home."

"You're not going to leave us are you? I've gotten sort of attached to everyone."

"Nah, Gabrielle would kill me. Plus I'm sort of attached to everyone too."

Gabrielle was still amused at some of the larger things that they had found in the warehouse. Some of them had been so large they had had to disassemble them to store them. Still it was worth it, just the technical data they had on certain things would keep Lexie busy for years. She would almost miss this world when she left it. Ah well it wasn't like she wasn't coming back. Besides she had to collect that Neo-Iczel in a year on this world. Plus there were several girls out at Wenaldo's ranch that interested her. Ah the possibilities.
