Chapter 68 The False Victory
The action has now ended and everyone is now directed to their home country and bases. With the common threat disappeared, every plane is returning to their corresponding countries just like what happened earlier. Just then, Germany notices that there is one roundel he did not able to see among the planes that entered in the fight.
"Where in the world are the Swiss?" Germany remarked.
Somewhere in Switzerland, in a big grassy field beside what seems to be an airfield…
"Big Bruder…" Liechtenstein remareked to his brother holding a helmet on his side. "Why did you decide to not join the air war?"
"Simply because we need to defend our place first…" Switzerland remarked. Then, he remarked "Since they defeated it singlehandedly, then that means I'm out of the scene to help."
Just as the three are circling around their air base in Virginia awaiting for the time to land, the three children suddenly asks the weasel residing on Timmy's cockpit on what happened while he is talking to the Darkness.
"The key to understand what happen there is to understand the Good News…" Buck replied to them.
"What do you mean by that?" Timmy asks the weasel.
"That is the key in understanding everything happening in this Multiverse…" Eddie said towards the communicator Trixie is using "…this news is the one that governs everything in the Middle Dimension, that governs every single conflict happening even to your world."
"But isn't it that news only applicable to humans?" Wanda interjected.
"You have to read the last part of the Fairy-ovenant in the Cave of Prophecy regarding that." Buck replied.
"But isn't it before the Good News there has to be a Bad News?" Cosmo immediately said.
"But when is a Bad News tied to a Good News?" Timmy suddenly remarked. Just then, the order to land was given to them one by one, the three kids successfully landed their aircraft to the base. They were greeted by the aircrew and by the KND and the sky above them have the words 'Thank You' which were created by the other pilots using aerobatic skills. They where taxied to their hanger where a yellow-haired Irish girl and the World 8 minus Japan greeted them. Just then, the hanger curtain was closed to seal any kind of communication to the other personnel. When they opened up their cockpits, all of those with their feet firmly on the ground saluted simultaneously. Instinctively, the three kids saluted back, holding their wands on the other hand. Several other mechanics brought them a ladder to their aircraft and each of them steps down on them. The three kids found relief that they are finally on the ground. Timmy's fairies floated alongside him, much to the dismay of England.
"What are you doing here?" Britian asks them.
"Well, just hanging around…" Cosmo replied. Wanda hits him using her elbow and responded "Isn't it our duty is to protect our godchild?"
"Whatever that crazy blondie sees talking to the air, you beautiful children manages to land safely…" France remarked while holding on Trixie's shoulder, who in turned shivered "Honhonhonhonhon…"
"At least all goes well-aru. And you defeated the Darkness-aru." China continued. "AND STOP HOLDING HER LIKE THAT OR YOU'LL TASTE THE WRATH OF MY MANPOWER!" France retreated back to the country's side beside America due to China's keen attntion and unusual preference to protect his ever-growing population and influence.
"All I need is to know how many kills you made…" America said "…You could be aces in a day as many of our pilots did."
"Actually…" Trixie remarked "…if I count it right, we got 3.33 using the British standard…"
"You barely made it da…" Russia remarked with his scary aura on.
"Wait, you manages to got 10 aircraft only?" Britain remarked. The three just nodded.
"That's a good start…" the Englishman continued.
"Regarding the Darkness…" Tootie said "…we never actually got him."
"Wa-wait, what do you mean by that?" Germany remarked "We saw it disintegrated by that explosion."
"It never actually disintegrated…" Trixie continued "…he escaped." Just then, America pats her back and said "Of course, you destroyed it. What, as if you would tell that the Darkness was able to escape from that explosion? There is no way he…"
"Hmm, pretty strange…" # 362 said "What a kid would say is true. But even our equipment says it disappeared."
"Let me explain to everyone…" somebody yelled on top of Tootie's F-22. Everyone looks at that direction and Britain is very displeased to what he saw.
"Great, why do you always got pass the security…" Britain said.
"Well, we manage to take some ride on their aircraft…" the weasel said while going down on it. "I was there with them. I know you would ask how, but rather, we would provide the extra witness that they did not finish the Darkness."
"Come on, like, that attack won't let it stand a chance!" America protested.
"Remember that the wands are not designed to kill but to change lives?" Buck remarked "Germany, Britain, you should be able to notice that."
"Wait, you mean the Darkness is not yet eliminated?" Germany remarked.
"Da, I told you to set a nuclear bomb in its mouth next time…" Russia just smiled back at them.
"I don't believe it…" America said with his histerical laughter "…well, um, he couldn't survive that!"
"That was just the final chance gave to him…" Buck remarked "… since I have now saw what he actually thought, perhaps me and my team should be going to report this to our Master." Just then, the two opposums landed near him in a jump but Eddie just happens to hit the ground hard on his head.
"Just great…" Eddie remarked.
"Stop messing and we'll report this to the Master. That is our job and our part…" Buck stressed out. Just then, the three went towards the outside thru the nearby dog hatch on a conventional door near them.
"I told you Britain, that door has a use…" America remarked "Where's my 20 grant?"
"Alright…" Britain grunted while giving the said amount to the said country.
"So who do you think is their master?" Trixie commends.
"Anyways, it's still a day to celebrate." America remarked "Let's open up the hanger and let the crowd join you."
Meanwhile, out at the Pacific…
"Sir…" a commander remarked while running towards Japan "…the other ship's commander wants to talk to you."
"Sir…" Japan remarked "Promise me that the entire incident and part regarding help from the other world would be kept secret."
"Yes sir." Just then, Japan then went to a chopper where the roundel of the Unovan Air Force was ascribed on it. It is green and is somewhat similar to the Huey except that the place for the windows below the main fuselage is somewhat similar to that of the eye of a Braviary. Japan rides the said helicopter and he was transported on the flight deck of Unovan version of the Nimitz-class Aircraft Carrier, which actually bears the similar name as its counterpart in their world except that it has specialized turret guns that is able to shoot electric arcs, ice attacks, just anything a Pokémon would be able to throw. Japan landed on the place where the landing operations of the aircraft are not hampered. Unova intercepted Japan and gave him a written message, a message that seems to be very distressful based on Unova's face.
"What is it Unova?" Japan asks in his unique Japanese accent.
"I'm a little bit worried about something…" Unova remarked "…someone remarked that our world could be next and this time, it will be my place."
"What made you say that?"Japan asks the worried personification of the Unova region.
"Our world will not be prepared to gear up a quick offense… I received news from our home that a certain pulsating wave is formed on Southern Unovan Coast. I fear that perhaps the OTLI manages to continue whatever back-up plan they have."
"That seems to be authentic…but if you would need us, we would assist you…" Japan remarked "…but we need a way to travel to the other world without breaching that capability to everyone."
"You really distrust the power of the civil leadership…" Unova said "…but I do suggest something that might help solve the case."
Luke AFB, 2:38 pm
The three went to their rooms and was about to have rest when they noticed that Buck, Crash and Eddie was running towards the other direction. Just then, all of them stopped and Buck brought to them a yellow scroll.
"I thought I would lose you…" Buck remarked "…give this scroll to Britain."
"Why is that?" Timmy asks the weasel.
"Your battle is far from over…"
PD3MU1: Gehabich Laboratory, Moscow, Russia January 29, 2012 8:35 pm
The Brawlers and the trainers, together with Alice's Father and some scientists, are working on the damaged laboratory for any signs of reparable damage and on clues on how to let the traners go back to their world when everything is now in wreck. They are also cleaning the said Laboratory and get everything back in Operational Status.
"Now that we failed in our mission, is there any way we could go back to our world now?" Barry comments while carrying a pile of papers. He is heading towards the table near May and Runo, who are also busy on sweeping the broken glass and debris.
"Anyways, isn't it the easiest way to go back to where you came from is to know how you go here in the first place?" Alice comments nearby, sorting out the papers in several lists of files.
"I'm just so very sorry that we didn't listen immediately…" Dan remarked while carrying a box. "…if it were, we could have defended this place further."
"But the damage is already done…" Paul remarked while carrying another box "…even if you believe us, I truly doubt that this same event will not be repeated."
"Why do you say so?" Draco responded. Paul placed the box nearby and continued "…perhaps we are missing one clue in this battle. As far as I know, no Bakugan could turn to the form they are now in the middle of a battle."
"Actually, we do…" Darco replied to him "…if we got defeated by another Brawler."
"Paul, do you think this is connected to the fourth wand that went missing before we left?" Max remarked while placing some papers on the nearby table.
"Perhaps." Paul remarked. Just then, a white portal appeared in the middle of all of them and a familiar figure came out on it.
"Aslan." The trainers remarked. The portal died down and Max, Barry, May and Drew came towards the Lion. Max hugged and felt the golden fur of the said Lion and said "Aslan, I'm so very sorry I have brought my Pokémon…"
"It's just alright." The Lion remarked. "Speaking of your mission…" the Lion turned towards the rest of the trainers "You've done pretty well."
"Perhaps we should owe the apology for not believing it immediately." Draco remarked.
"I do appreciate your concern and I do understand things very well and your intentions." The Lion remarked "However, there is one last thing that all of you must do. Dan, Shun, I'm choosing you for this task."
"Wait, why is it always them?" Runo immediately protested "As if they are the only Brawlers around this corner of the world."
"Because they have been set aside for this Purpose." The Lion remarked "You two must go with this trainers. This will be both part of your choosing and your punishment."
"Punishment?" the two immediately remarked.
"You must stay in that world in one week to learn the difference of that world from your world. That way, you would see how everything will differ the next time I send them to you." the Lion responded.
"Can I come with them? Dan is not that use in…"
"Runo…" Dan immediately remarked at her.
"At this time you can't…" the Lion remarked "…but you will visit that realm in the right time, when everything is now in order."
"So that means we're going home?" May asks with a sense of gladness in her.
"Not quite… you have another mission…" the Lion said.
"So that means everything is not yet finish then…" Drew remarked "…what is our mission this time?"
"You have to be united with the other five orb users because the enemy is far from not giving up invading your world. They are going to use the teleportation device they acquired to reopen a way for them to attack your dimension. You must help the three wand weilders who is now going to lay the punishment I have already warned the Darkness that will come upon him."
"Understood your Highness…" Max replied. "However, how are we going to go there?"
"The answer is simple, little one…" The Lion remarked "…the way you got in here, the way you will go, but this time, you will be taking a shortcut and your destination is the very tree you have to defend."
