Chapter 6.
"I'm sorry I'm late!" Hope said as he came running toward the group.
Hope was another boy, who was part Emolga. He had Emolga ears and tail. He had blonde hair, wore a plain white T-shirt, and black pants.
"Okay, i guess not everyone left. Good to see you, Hope." Andrew said.
"Okay, we're not getting any younger. And Rukia might not have alot of time left, so let's move out!" Andrew says, then runs over to the wall, followed by the others.
They jumped up and over the wall, then ran off into the forest, toward Team Plasma's forest base.
Rukia sighed, then leaned back against the wall.
'Maybe, they...No, what am i thinking? Why would those guys come save me, after earlier...None of the fighters in my palace is strong, or skilled enough to beat these guys. I don't know if my parent's would really pay a ransom, seeing as i was never really close to them...I guess this is it. I'm done for.'
Andrew and his group came closer to the base, but they were still awhile away.
"How much further, Andrew?" Hope asked.
Andrew looked back at him, "Not much longer, i think. We're almost there."
"Okay, so you've sent the ransom note to her parents?" Ghetsis asked a grunt. He nodded,
"Yessir! We should be getting a response soon!" The grunt replied.
Rukia sat up suddenly, "...Really? Have i gotten so weak to have to relay on others to save my butt? I can get out of this easy. Just like i used...to..." Rukia said trailing off.
She grabbed her head, "Wait a second...Why do i have memories of breaking out of a jail like this..?" She asked herself.
She shook her head, "No, forget it. I gotta get out of here. First thing's first, I gotta get out of these ropes..."
Then she struggled to untie her feet.
Just then, there was a ruckus at the front of the base, and all of the Grunt's went running toward it.
Rukia took this as her cue to try and break free. She struggled to get her feet untied, finally getting them untied.
Then she tried to chew through the ropes around her wrists.
Andrew and the group bust through the front door, "Honey, I'm home!" Mia yelled as she ran in.
The grunt's lined up around them.
"Well, well. Nice to see you boys again. But this meeting will be brief, we're here to pick up a friend." Jason said.
"Xavier, go find Rukia! We'll take care of these guys!" Andrew tells him.
Xavier nods and jumps over the head's of the grunt's. Rukia's Eevee tagging along behind.
Everyone got into a fighting stance, "Alright, let's get this started, hm?" Andrew says.
Xavier and the baby Eevee ran through corriders, checking rooms, only to find nothing.
"We've got to hurry..." Xavier muttered.
Rukia couldn't break through the ropes, and so gave up and sighed. She leaned against the wall again, looking up at the ceiling.
'Well, that was almost a waste of time. Yep, I'm never gonna leave.'
Just then, Xavier rammed into the cell door, breaking through it and falling on the floor.
"Ouch, that could've gone smoother..." He said as he got up.
Rukia was shocked, "..What in Acreus name are you doing here?!" She almost yelled.
Xavier looked up at her and smiled, "We came to rescue you, of course!"
Rukia looked down at the ground. She look at her hands when she felt something.
"Good, Eevee! Chew through those ropes!" Xavier cheered.
Eevee managed to get it undone, and stood back. Xavier helped Rukia up,
"...But why are you here?" She had to ask.
Xavier smiled, "To save my best friend, of course." He replied simply.
Rukia sighed and looked at the ground, "But i don't know you..." She mumbled.
"You do, Rukia. You just can't remember-" Xavier said, then was cut off by someone clapping.
"Bravo, bravo! You got so close to getting her out, but still you fail! Too bad for you, but now, i have the whole team together! So much for the village's saviors!" Ghetsis said from behind them.
Rukia looked up at him, "The Saviors..?"
