Chapter 66: Let's do this every one!
I'll never forget that massage I had and I doubt that White will either. They were all very thorough, they've covered every part of our bodies leaving us relaxed and stress free. It even made us thinking of nothing but warm pleasant thoughts. It felt very good indeed and it was very fun fulfilling a lot of our fantasies that we both had. I still feel the positive effects even now. I'll always enjoy seeing Noire flirt with me showing of her talents, her many good traits and her beauty. And it's even nice to see the other great females kiss me occasionally, out of friendship and appreciation for what I've done for them.
The massage lasted a long time, and it was so great to see the view of the landscape as we head to Lowee. Despite the plane being able to go super-fast , our pilot in black Noire deliberately left it a slow pace. This was for the purpose of allowing us to watch the pleasant views that both Lastation and Lowee have to offer.
It's a pleasant surprise to know that even in Lowee despite the land declining into chaos and now being full of misery, tyranny and grief, that lands still look surprisingly pleasant. Despite the terrain being similar to Lastation regards being forests, plains, lake and grasslands, they look different to the ones in Lastation though in what way I am not sure. There are also mountains as well, but they don't have any snow on them at all unlike what I remember from the series. Despite what I expected from Neptunia, Lowee isn't a cold place at all, in fact it's the same pleasant hot temperature as in Lastation. Yeah it's a surprisingly nice place, though maybe only the border and the outskirts look pleasant. And perhaps they have not been touched by the ravages of warfare, and all the terrible things that have occurred there.
We've had dinner in our bedroom as well, and like our lunch it has been delicious and interesting, again rather unique to say the least. We've had quite the mixture of foods as we've all shared a giant pizza and a giant lasagne together.
The giant pizza was full of all sorts of toppings, it got the ones you'd expect like tomatoes, cheese, mushroom and ham. And there are those like: meat balls, bacon, sliced sausages and chicken but some of the toppings are ones that are novel to me like: prawns, fish, kebab meat, steak, pork, burgers, various other fruits, lamb as well as other vegetables like lettuce and even a few carrots.
The giant lasagne is the same story as the pizza. It was full of at least half a dozen layers and each layer is full of differing meats like beef, pork, lamb, chicken and even fish, sausages and bacon. But it's also got vegetables and fruit as well as even some curry and pasta in there.
The side orders are magnificent too as there was an overwhelming amount of chips of different kinds, from fries that are straight to ones that are curly to steak cut chips, some are even from sweet potatoes. There are even wedges as well as all sorts of garlic bread, even some naan bread, poppadum and differing prawn crackers. There are also all sorts of different dips from ketchup to brown sauce, to sweet and sour sauce, to guacamole, to barbeque sauce to differing chutneys that would go with different meals.
Even the drinks are quite something as well, as we had cocktails and milkshakes full of all sorts of wonderful and unusual, yet enjoyable ingredients. We've had various fruit from pineapples to apples to bananas to mangoes to even tomatoes. They've been mixed with various sweet sauces like lemon sauce, to toffee sauce, to strawberry sauce and chocolate sauce that cover the different types from white to milk to dark. There's even honey mixed in there as well as different syrups. Some of our drinks even have some different fizzy drinks mixed in there from Pepsi to Tango to Tizer to 7up.
We even had a magnificent dessert which consisted of a few gigantic sharing sundaes. There was one for me and my wife, one for White and Blanc and an even bigger one for the candidates. The desserts were crammed full of various tasty foods. There were brownies, various cookie pieces, doughnuts, different pieces of chocolate, even slices of different cakes of varying delicious flavours. There was even fruits from apples, to melons, to bananas, to different strawberries. Not only this but it was full of scoops and scoops of varying ice cream. The flavours appear to be limitless and of high quality, even looking like Mr Whippy from ones like vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, to ones like apple, mango, toffee, caramel and even Pepsi flavoured. Not only this but there's plenty of squirty cream, and even that has different flavours like chocolate, toffee and strawberry. The desserts are even dripping with different tasty sauces too, from chocolate, to strawberry to lemon to toffee. If anything you name anything that you'd expect in a tasty sweet desert in this sundae, it's in there.
It was awesome being able to share the sundae together, we had loads of fun eating it and enjoying every mouthful. For fun we even playfully fed each other. And I enjoy how plenty of times me and Noire would coil our arms around each other and feed each other our food and drink in quite a flirting manner. We'd even mimic the lady and the tramp sometimes by eating the same item of food together, until we end up having a nice long pleasurable kiss. It's been a lot of fun eating together, it feels very grand, glamorous and luxurious.
Though the meals and drinks having all sorts of ingredients mixed in make quite the combination, it's surprisingly. Once again it's up there with all of the best meals I've ever had there, though I can say that with every food and drink I've ever consumed here. I'll never forget eating such a novel dish, in fact every meal we've eaten today has been very novel. We've had much fun eating those dishes, and it's awesome that we got to enjoy each and every mouthful or swallow in the drink's case. I feel very full but I don't feel as though I've eaten too much. The great taste still lingers in my mouth helping me not to forget what wonderful memories I've had with their food today. It even smells very nice and it's a smell I will ever never forget. I won't even forget the presentation of the dishes, with how nicely decorated they looked from the food. The desert even resembled the Lastation logo at the top with the sauces, which I thought was rather clever.
What makes me appreciate the food even more is the technology behind it. That all this came from an atom manipulator and how all the ingredients are the best possible quality. They're even organic and natural despite the method. It's also great on the conscience as all of the food is unbelievably healthy, and none of the meats actually come from animals. I just love how we don't kill the other animals for food, or for any materials that we require. We just make them ourselves through atom manipulators. I'll never forget how Noire always speaks with much pride about this, and so she should as she has a lot to be proud about and her speeches are very moving to me.
All in all we've had a very relaxing afternoon, enjoying the gourmet creative meals and appreciating the massages by our glamorous hostesses, as well as watching the breath taking views of both of our nations and listening to not just Kenny G's songbird but also other tranquil instrumental music from different parts of the world that I remember.
I think it's arguably the best day of my life here, if not ever and it's one I'll never forget. In a way I kinda find it something that now my mission to liberate Lowee will begin. But I do not feel as though it's back to work or back to reality, even if it may be that for some people. I enjoy the idea of being able to make a positive difference. And now I will right here, when we're about to be drop off here. Whether I'm relaxing, spending time with my family or being in combat against our guilty enemies. I enjoy both as they both bring warm feelings. I don't think I can ask for a greater life than the one I have right now.
As odd as it is, it's hard to say what I enjoy doing the most: relaxing, having fun with my family fulfilling various fantasies together and having wonderful memories. Or being in combat as despite being forced to kill enemy soldiers that are perhaps as innocent as my own people, I at least get to make a positive difference and it's great to know that I have. I enjoy working hard making a difference for ourselves, and it's great that I can do that with my family. I especially enjoy fighting alongside my wife Noire Black Heart. Come to think of it whether it's playing or working, we always do it together and that's a very wonderful thing. Even now, when it will just be me and White that's dropped together with a small army, full of both Lastation and Lowee troops disguised as Team Rocket troops, we'll still be in contact. They'll supply us with troops, equipment and various other vital items like food, drink, medicines and perk a colas, as well as vital information to help us in our mission.
I do admit that perhaps I feel a bit nervous now as there is a lot on my shoulders, but I do get thrills knowing it will be me that is a part of this great liberation of ours. I just hope that our best in skills, technology and equipment will be enough to win, though I'm confident that it will be. I also hope that nothing will go wrong, though we've done our best in intelligence and I know how amazing Lastation intelligence is.
And so it is now I am in the section of the plane where we're about to be dropped off into Loweean territory, more precisely to the west of Pallet Town not far from it.
The area I'm in is very big and is surprisingly nice to what one would expect. The area is not bare at all, and unlike what I'd expect I don't see any metal walls whatsoever. Instead the floor is painted black along with the walls. Even the seats are very comfortable and are in black, and they allow you to put your feet up. The place is surprisingly empty and it's just me, White and our sisters here.
By this time both me and White are in disguise carrying our new (though more like old) weapons.
I am wearing one of the grunt uniforms consisting of what appears to be a black jumper, with a red letter R on top. I also wear black trousers with white boots that consist of a red stripe around the leg at the near edge. I also wear white short length gloves too which like the boots have a red stripe around the near edge.
White is dressed as a female version, consisting of a black t shirt with a large letter R on it though the colour is in pink. She also wears what appears to be a white beret, with a pink stripe around quite close to the edge. For her lower part of her body, she wears a white mini skirt with a pink stripe encircling it quite close to the edge. She wears gloves and boots though they're a lot longer than mine and the stripes are pink. Her gloves go up to her shoulders and her boots have high heels that cover so much of her legs, that only a about half a dozen centimetres are bare.
"Do you feel comfortable in them White?" I ask while looking at her in her disguise.
"Oh very comfortable, I always remember how Team Rocket always had such sexy outfits for their grunts." She replied laughing.
"Oh yeah indeed, the outfit suits you both. Maybe for fun we could cosplay as Team Rocket as well, mocking their inevitable defeat." Noire smiled even chuckling as well.
"That's a great idea, I find it interesting how we seem to be dressed as elite Team Rocket officers, not grunts." I note.
"Yeah you seem to be dressed as Butch, while I'm dressed as Domino. What names do you suggest we call ourselves when we're incognito?" White asked me.
"Call me Bruno and I'll call you Paula." I proposed.
"Very well. Ok you'll be dropped in together along with a regiment of troops in this area. You should be together with them, though your HUDs should inform you of their location. It will be dark and it may be difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, especially when wearing the same clothes. But your HUD should help you tell the difference even at night. Remember for tonight your mission will be to kill all the hostiles in this forest, again your HUDs should inform you of their location and we'll be in contact with you at all times. We'll also inform of you of enemy movements regarding that area, we'll airdrop your breakfast tomorrow morning on your location, and it can be anything you want. Best of luck. It's exciting isn't it, our liberation of Lowee begins now with the outskirts of Pallet Town." Noire informed us briefing us with much enthusiasm.
As I listen to her, I can't help but appreciate the assistance we'll be getting thanks to our advanced technology. It's so awesome to hear Noire talk about ensuring that we're always well fed in every meal, even in circumstances like this. I guess this is it now, it is then Noire gives me a very long hug as well as a pleasurable kiss to match. She does this as a show of how much we love each other, as well as a good luck and temporary fare well hoping that we will meet again soon.
I can sense the various emotions from within Noire as we've had our hug, they're certainly mixed indeed. I can sense how sad she feels despite doing her best to conceal her sadness, and not to shed any tears. With this said I understand the sadness of how we have to be apart again, even though we've only had a reunion that lasted for a few days. I think she also feels excitement and joy that Lowee will be liberated, as well as how we've had such a wonderful day together on her super high tech plane. The emotions she does clearly show with pride is her happiness, happy in the knowledge that we'll succeed and we will one day meet again face to face.
Oddly enough as I prepare myself for the drop, there is one thought that crosses my mind. The thought being that I can't help but be baffled about Team Rocket being armed with firearms, let alone fire arms of this quality though perhaps I will find out at a later time.
Note: Readers please listen to Cod 4 Marines Spawn Theme Full while reading this:
And so it begins, the door now opens as me and White walk closer to the hatch. The plane is moving at a steady pace and I don't feel the turbulence at all. Though I'm guessing it's down to the technology of this plane, enabling that the ride is always smooth inside. When we reach the edge we both turn around to face our CPUs. They give us a salute as well as blowing a few kisses, we do the same before exchanging salutes to each other. After which we wave to each other which is fun to do. Noire especially flirts with me as she waves her goodbye. In an instant we turn around and jump out of the plane.
I look around with my night vision switched on, only to find ourselves falling down very fast from such a high altitude. All I can see are rows upon rows of trees in the distance, though it gets to a point where I see a village which must be none other than Pallet Town. I then look to the other side to see the sea with a few patrol boats, they appear to be in some sort of fire fight.
"Be advised you've got two hostiles directly below you, and a couple more near your drop zone." Uni informed us via mind talk.
With that information we respond accordingly by getting out our knives. By this point I was initially unsure of our rapidly decreasing altitude, despite falling for what seems like a few minutes. But then I realise my HUD tells me it's now less than 5000 metres.
For a brief few minutes I was concerned that we had no parachutes, but that didn't matter as we both knew that our perk a colas meant that we cannot die from falls ,no matter how big they are.
As we both fall quite fast, I found it novel viewing the Loweean countryside from above with our night vision. I find it interesting to note how calm everything seems to be as I don't hear much noise at all as we keep falling and falling. The drop is exhilarating and I wanted to scream showing much fun I'm having, but I couldn't due to not wanting to alert our enemies.
Before we knew it I was quite close to the ground, so we quickly got ourselves in position ready to do an aerial assassination as best we could. We then land on top of the two guys below us and successfully assassinate by stabbing their necks with our knifes.
Though the other two guards are alerted by their comrade's aerial assassination by us, White quickly throws 2 knives at the pair with her right hand. Each knife hits them in the neck causing them to fall on their back dead, as they struggle to breathe reacting as if they've been strangled to death.
"Beautiful guys, ok if you walk straight on there should be a patrol nearby of about 3 of them." Uni informed us by mind talk praising us for landing without alerting the enemy.
"Have the rest of our forces landed successfully?" I ask her through thought.
"Yes, as a matter of fact it's all going as planned. Our forces in the sea are engaging enemy patrol boats, while a squad is heading north to Pallet Town they should be there very soon to commandeer the towers. Meanwhile none of the enemy have been alerted yet in the forest, though it'll only be a matter of time before they become aware of attacks." Uni informed.
"As long as they don't suspect us, we should be fine. OK thanks for the update." I reply to her, thinking that's it's good to hear her useful help with surveillance once again.
Before heading out, I look around our surroundings so I can familiarise myself with them. We do this before we both crouch carrying our rifles, as we walk slowly and silently. Occasionally White would aim her rifle looking through her scope, to see if she can see the patrol that Uni speaks of nearby. As we walk past the dead Team Rocket members in front of us, we pick up our throwing knives that have pierced their throats.
We end up advancing slowly for a while, with White aiming her scope at regular intervals. If I was to be honest, despite our confidence in our technology and our abilities, I can't help but feel concerned right now, as we're in stealth mode trying to take out patrols without getting caught. It's down to this idea that we could be caught at any moment, not to mention the frustration of being found out, even if we would have done nothing to give the game away. Perhaps I get concerned too much, this time we're in disguise and I doubt that they'd be able to see us due to the pitch black darkness, and they'd have to rely on torches.
Eventually we encounter the patrol, and instead of the usual assigning targets and killing them simultaneously by a 3 count, my Loweean female counterpart just throws 3 knifes a them, like a pro assassin killing them instantly.
"Nice Miss Firenze. OK there's a patrol advancing to your location that's pretty close, but I'd avoid it if you can there are about 6 of them." Uni informed us.
White then looks through her scope, again confirming Uni's story.
"Yep they're there alright." The female sniper White informs me.
"OK best if we just go prone, hopefully we can let them pass." I propose as I lie on the floor holding my Arisaka tight.
It's not long before I see the 6 Team Rocket members approaching. When I aim with my cross hairs on my HUD I see them change to red as I aim at each one, confirming their alignment to be hostiles. As we see them walking towards us doing their patrol, we keep hold of our throwing knives ready to throw if need be. But it's certainly a pity that we only have 4 knives to throw and there are 6 of them.
They eventually come up quite unnervingly close to us, but still blissfully unaware of our presence. Before we chose to make the surprise attack, out of nowhere I see what appears to be thrown knifes that hit the 6 of them in the neck. They all fall onto the side, away from where the knifes have come from.
Not long after seeing their bodies lying on the floor, do we then see a group of Team Rocket soldiers moving towards their position. Though rather than standing up they're crouched. I aim with my cross hairs that reveal the colour green to confirm them to be friendlies.
We both rise up to our crouched position to greet them. They turn around to face us only for us to wave hello to them and exchange salutes.
"Good to see you sir and mam. What would you like us to do now?" One of them spoke to us.
They notices us thinking, perhaps they know this to be a cue that we're speaking to one of the higher ups through thought communication.
"There's someone on the radio just in front of your location, apparently she's very distressed. I'll patch in the conversation now." The Lastation CPU Candidate informed me.
"Hello…Can you hear me….Is anyone there?" The radio female spoke with worry and concern.
"Grunt to Pallet Town. Grunt to Pallet Town. Can you hear me?" She spoke desperate for there to be a reply.
"Yes you sound distressed is there something wrong?" The voice on the other end was a male and sounded quite authoritative.
"Yes, I can't get through to any of our patrols in the forest, I'm worried that they've already been killed." She spoke panicking, breathing quite heavily.
"We've actually received reports of engagements in the sea to the south from unknown forces, disguised as Team Rocket. I'll need you to regroup with the troops stationed there, and form a line to the West outside Pallet Town to keep this unknown force at bay." The male informed.
"Roger that." She obeyed, sounding a bit more happy and having a bit of a morale boost, now she knows that her superiors are trying to do something about it.
"Grunt to Forest Army. Grunt to Forest Army. If anyone can hear this, Pallet Town Command has ordered us back to form a defensive line to the West outside Pallet Town. Reports have confirmed sea engagements to the South, and I've lost contact with a few of our patrols in this forest. I have reason to assume that they have been killed by this unknown force." She spoke with confidence this time.
As both me and White hear the conversation, I can't help but feel relieved that they don't suspect a Lastation attack. As a matter of fact they don't even know for sure if it's a Loweean attack, this pleases me to no end. I kinda figured that they would eventually retreat to form a defensive line, in an attempt to attack any rebels. My guess is that they're doing that as a deterrent to keep us out.
"I can confirm that some of the remaining patrols are heading back to the border, and that already there is a small army of troops that have formed a defensive line outside the Western border of Pallet Town. I've given the order for our troops to regroup near their defensive line in the forest, you should be able to ambush them from there." The Lastation Candidate informed us.
"OK thank you." I responded in appreciation.
With that we move out, keeping an eye out for the enemy girl with the radio. It's not long before we actually see her with a torch in her left hand, while holding a radio in her right trying to inform her squads. But it's not long for her to come to the conclusion that many of them have been killed by us. With one throw of my knife to her neck, she's dealt with easily.
"OK, the good news is that there are no patrols near your location, so feel free to make a run for your new position." Uni informed with pride as she tells us the good news.
I then respond by thanking her and with the location marked on my HUD as well as the distance we charge towards it running as fast as we can, which is indeed a fast pace especially for someone on foot. We manage to run weaving in and out of all the trees that lie there, one thing I do notice after all this stealth killing is that we have not seen any wildlife at all, and I wonder if there's meant to be any Pokémon that are active at night around here.
We keep running without showing signs of fatigue or exhaustion, but before I knew it I realise that we're getting close, so we slowed down to avoid making as much noise. As a pleasant surprise I found my troops already there waiting for our arrival. We exchange salutes to them before one of them approaches us to speak to me.
"All present and accounted for." One of my troops say while he salutes.
"OK I want all of you to climb a tree, then when I give the signal we attack. When they charge at us and are inside the forest we drop down on them and take them out.
As for Pallet Town itself we attack it at dawn." I order them.
With that they all quickly but quietly climb a tree as do I, before finding a branch for us to sit on. After all of us being secure we give a hand signal, before aiming our rifle at an enemy soldier.
I notice all the enemy soldiers standing in a line and even these guys out here outnumber us quite a bit. Though this does not deter any of us one bit.
When I know everyone is ready, we open fire causing a good number of them to fall down backwards as they're shot in the head. Before they're realise they're being attacked we fired again taking out another good chunk of their forces.
They all try to fire back in unison, but they have no idea of where exactly we are. None of their bullets actually hit any of us as they can't see due to the darkness. We show this by firing back at them with the same ferocity as before, killing groups after groups of them. As I imagined with their remaining forces which is still numerous, they charge at us into the forest with their bayonets. They even shout banzai as well. We manage to take out about half of their remaining troops, but not before they were inside the forest. We all simultaneously jumped down on a victim performing an aerial assassination. It was fortunate for us that none of them survived the ambush, or even had a chance to fight back when they reached the forest.
I look at my troops and it pleases me to see them all still at full health. While the enemy on the other hand, their defensive line has now been broken.
"OK well done everyone, let's get some rest while a few of us stands guard on patrol." I order my troops speaking with genuine praise as they have indeed done rather well.
"Congratulations Black, the good news is that our squad have infiltrated the city and have now commandeered the towers." Uni informed me.
"Awesome, would it be possible to deliver us breakfast when Pallet Town is taken tomorrow morning?" I ask her.
"Sure, I'm sure it will be a delicious breakfast. You guys deserve it for doing very well tonight." She replied with genuine love and appreciation.
Yes very well indeed, we get out our sleeping bags as we prepare ourselves for a night in the woods. All I think about is dawn when we attack Pallet Town. I study its defences and despite the towers being under our control, there is another matter: behind that now broken line is a barbed wire fence with a gate. Though I know just the strategy to get in.
Despite my strategy, I have my concerns that taking Pallet Town will not be as easy as tonight though. I guess the easiest day is always yesterday. But I mustn't think about that and think about tomorrow.
Though as I'm about to fall asleep here, I now realise the significance of falling asleep especially in hostile territory after the nightmares I have experienced. I don't feel as though I'm brainwashed right now as odd as it seems. And I'm sure Uni's surveillance will protect me even when I'm asleep. But I shouldn't fear as I've slept through my previous nightmares and I'll sleep through tonight's ones. Bring it on nightmares.
