Chapter 96: The final part of The Battle of The Trailers
I'm still in the trailer driving to the best of my ability so that I don't get pinned even though I'm exhausted, tired, and aching a great deal. My body is demanding, ordering me to stop but I know I cannot do such a thing.
As I hear the sound of the jeeps trying so hard to move past me and driving ever so close behind my trailer, I grow more and more concerned about whether my allies are ready, especially with how I'm worried that there isn't much time for them to set up the best defensive line against this lot. I'm also more and more concerned with the idea of being pinned, ideally I could do with driving faster in hopes of making it more difficult for the enemy, but that will result in less time for the allies there. They need all the time they can get and even with me stalling the enemy to the best of my ability, I am not sure if this is enough.
No. I must not be negative but positive. I cannot give up and even if I'm unsure if it's enough, I will make it so that it's enough. There's far too much at stake riding on this and so many people are counting on me to do this. I will succeed for them, I just need to hold out for as long as it needs to be, before Uni can contact me and give me the confirmation that they're ready. Come on guys I know that you can get ready soon, and I know that when myself and you guys meet, we will defeat these enemy pursuers even if they are bosses.
Thankfully after what felt like hours of tense waiting and intense concentration, Uni contacts me.
"Good news Black, our troops have finished off being resupplied and have now formed a defensive line. With luck, when you arrive we will be able to wipe these pursuers out and secure these supplies for good. Then it'll just be a matter of taking them to a safe location, and air lifting them out of there." She says to me sounding very positive and happy.
Excellent, but what worries me is that just as she says this the enemy jeeps then manage to drive past in front of my trailer, and I know this to be their first step in pinning me down. I just hope that I can keep going in my trailer for just long enough, so that if I end up being stopped which is no doubt inevitable, then at least I'll have assistance. But even so I just hope that when the allies are able to open fire against them, I'll be able to get away.
The problem is that despite my best efforts, the jeeps begin to surround my truck and slow me down at an increasing rate, and yet still no sign of me being close to the allied camp. This isn't good, this isn't good, oh no. The way this is going, they'll just simply board my trailer, kill me and then slowly but surely escort my trailer back to Viridian City and then all will be lost. No, I must not think like this, it won't do.
I do my best in trying to swerve as much as possible, but the unfortunate problem is that the jeeps being on both of my sides makes this action impossible, and soon before I know it the jeeps in front who drive in formation come to an abrupt stop, forcing me to slow down considerably as the jeeps in front then try and reverse as best as possible.
Although the jeeps in front reverse at the highest speed they can do in unison, my trailer albeit very slowly is still able to move. Despite the fact that I'm crawling now, I know that this proves to be enough for them, as I see with my magnetic vision the enemy troops boarding on the back and rushing through, in an attempt to get inside and wipe me out.
Well Uni I guess this is it, I've tried to get this trailer to the allies but I guess it's not be. I can't believe how so near I was and yet so far. If there is any hope left for me to have, then it's that the slow movement I can make, these few moments that pass now will be just enough for the allied snipers to be in range of the enemy. Come on! It's all I have left, but even as I still cling on to hope, it doesn't help when I see the enemy soldiers moving closer and closer. In fact I then see one of them jump down to the bonnet followed by the others. The sight of this as well as the pain from my own body, as well as the blood indicating my low health, remind me of my chances.
What's more they're bosses, and even if they're the weakest I know I have absolutely no chance, but still I will fight to the end and refuse to give in, and so with the ammunition that I have left in my guns which to be honest isn't much at all, I open fire on them while accelerating the trailer as best as I could, despite the jeeps being in my way.
Suddenly I then hear the sound of sniper fire, and after that I then see all of the troops on the bonnet have just died. It's really odd because I was sure the bonnet enemies would have opened fire and killed me for sure. What makes this better is how I'm able to drive faster, as the snipers have even managed to shoot some of the drivers as well.
The thing is as I appreciate the aid I now have, I notice how the enemy change tactics. Because of the immense sniper fire coming their way, the enemy resorts to hiding in their jeeps as best as they could, while their gunners dismount and head for the surrounding forest, taking great care not to get spotted as they know they'll get shot by our snipers. As the enemies hide in the jeeps, the ones directly in front of my trailer continue to reverse into my trailer as best they could, so that I'm still not able to move, while the rest of them drive on towards the snipers. No doubt they intend to run over the snipers, or perhaps ambush our allies by flanking them.
I get the feeling that this won't be easy now, as the jeeps will no doubt provide a good amount of protection for the bosses, and now I may not get the sniper cover I need to protect myself until I can drive into the safety of the checkpoint. I decide to mind talk to White in hopes that she can provide me with help, as I'm certain that as soon as the jeeps have driven off towards the checkpoint, the enemies in front will keep me pinned down before killing me and taking the supplies back to Viridian City.
"White, I'm still pinned down by a few jeeps in front of me and unless I get help soon, I'm sure they'll wipe me out. Are you able to assist?" I ask her hoping that she can.
"Yeah sure no problem, I'll bring Oichi too as well as a few jeeps if possible. We'll be there as soon as we can." White says with much enthusiasm and confidence.
"Be advised, a few dozen jeeps are heading to your position and the gunners have dismounted, and will be sure to ambush us when we least expect it, and one more thing: a good portion of these enemies are bosses." I inform her, so that she knows what she's up against.
"In that case, I'll do my best to prepare the troops for this. Thanks for the information." She replies to me in the same tone.
I admire that confidence, I can only hope that she can rescue me soon because I am worried about all of those enemy jeeps wreaking havoc on our troops, especially with all of the tough bosses in there, and I can only assume that the toughest ones will be used to ambush our troops while they're busy dealing with the enemy jeeps. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how it goes, at least the enemy jeeps are still passing by meaning that the enemies in front won't be able to get in just yet. Ideally though, I could do with having White racing in the moment the only enemy jeeps remaining here, are the ones who intend to slow me down in front.
Still, I remain hidden while watching the last of the jeeps leaving, no doubt the enemies in front are waiting as well but I'm pleased that there's still sniper fire, though most of it is now directed at the jeeps that are charging towards the checkpoint. The thing is as soon as the enemy jeeps that intend to go to the checkpoint have done so, I only see two enemy bosses from the jeeps in front come out, with the full intention of getting into my trailer from both sides and shooting me to the death.
What makes it worse is that despite being shot a few times, they still manage to get into my trailer. Oh dear, it looks like I'm done for because even if to my side is a dead grunt who is to be my make shift obstacle for the enemy, I know it won't be a problem for the enemy even if I hold my position for as long as possible, with what sniper shots are fired to support me.
I do my best to hide as best I could under the steering wheel, despite there not being much room and aching my body further as I aim my pistol at the door, despite knowing that it's going to be no match for the weapon that he's got. I also try and hold the door, even though he's probably going to be able to open it anyway thanks to me being too exhausted due to my low health. Come on grunt let's get it over with!
Oddly enough, just as they are about to enter I then hear the sound of a few jeeps come charging towards us followed by machine gun fire. Unfortunately even though I'd like to think that the machine guns were aiming for the pair, it doesn't stop them from coming in. I guess this is it, come on grunts I'm ready to die, come and kill me if you think you can, I'll be more than happy to die for our cause.
And so when they both enter they both shoot at me, while I shoot at one of them, hoping that the machine gun will have soften him up just enough so that my pistol can finish him off and I do, but not before being wounded to such an extent, that I'm in more agony than before that I'm worried about passing out and dying. I really do feel that I can't take any more and that just one bullet, even if it's from a pistol will be enough to take me down.
I feel like I'm at a standoff now because although I'm at almost death, the enemy has to reload his gun, but so do I even if I'll be quicker. And so after reloading I open fire on the other enemy, and I just barely manage to shoot him down before he's even finished reloading his weapon. This relieves me and after seeing him fall I sit back in the driving seat, breathing heavily almost like I'm ready to have a nice long rest so I can recover from my aches and pains.
I then look out the window in the trailer and see that White and Oichi are now engaging the jeeps in front. I would like to help but because of my health, I think its best not to. In fact I really do wish I could help my allies and I'd be more than happy to help, but my body is not until I can at least satisfy it, with some good medicine to restore me back to full health. In any case it is nice to see that my allies are here, and they're able to save me from the dangerous position I was in. It's just a shame really that the people in the other allied jeeps have been killed, but I'm glad they were there to shoot the enemy that tried to get into my trailer, because if they didn't I would have most certainly have been dead.
Eventually without suffering too much damage, White and Oichi are able to wipe out the enemies in the jeeps in front of me. Though I know I'm able to drive on now, I find that I'm in too much pain to move and all my body can do, is to just show symptoms of being really tired. In fact I end up falling to the side and lie down as I'm in such agony, it's as if my body thinks that lying down will help my body get better.
"Are you alright my friend?" I hear Oichi screaming out to me in her language as I see with my visions her rushing out towards me.
I also see White doing the same as well, I know this is no time for me to rest but my body can go on for no longer, not until it has a chance to rest. As soon as I see Oichi in front of me, I then respond.
"I…I just need to rest that's all. I know it's not ideal…but my body can't take anymore, I really could do with some medicine now." I say to her while struggling to speak due to the exhaustion that I have and the agony that I'm in.
I then see Oichi look at White almost as if for confirmation, which I can only assume to be whether it's possible for me to be given Lastation medicine without any of the Team Rocket grunts seeing this, and catching on. I suppose they won't see me take medicine but when I get spotted by the grunts again, they'll probably have noticed me being completely injured so I'll need to swap clothes with a fallen ally as soon as I'm given medicine.
"Do not worry my friend; you have done ever so well. Here you go this should hopefully be what you're looking for." Oichi says to me in a friendly tone as she gives me a bottle which I'm guessing would blend well within the supplies of Team Rocket, as well as some cream which also like the bottle is disguised as something Team Rocket would use.
As soon as Oichi gives me the healing items, she then gives me a nice friendly caring smile before leaving me to use the items. It's so nice to see her give me the items, the items that my body desired after all this time of agony. She's such a caring and friendly person, and I only hope that she can be reunited with her love Nagamasa Azai one day, along with her friend Katsuie Shibata as well. They're such a wonderful couple Nagamasa and Oichi, and they deserve each other very much.
While I see White and Oichi move the jeeps out of the way so I can eventually drive off in the trailer, I first place the cream on all my wounds. I try and do it in the order of the wound that hurts me the most, but they're all just as bad and they all ache a lot. In any case it's nice that the moment I apply the cream on each of the wounds, they stop hurting and the blood and the wounds disappear. It's so great to have Lastation medicine, I really do believe it's second to none with how it gets rid of wounds and blood instantaneously, it gets rid of the pain and agony instantaneously as well, and it gives me that wonderful feeling as though my body has just had a nice heavenly massage. It reminds me of being massaged by my love Noire.
Ah Noire I do miss her, and I do think about her a lot especially with how I love her so much, how I love everything she stands for. At least I can be happy in the knowledge of doing my best and my best has gotten me this far, and hopefully we will have soon have done a significant achievement. I'm certain I'll be seeing her again, perhaps sooner than I think. I definitely look forward to that moment because it's an honour to help her in our noble quest, and it's a pleasure to have made her proud of me. And so with this moment with my body completely recovering and feeling the best it's been in a while, I then have a drink from the bottle so that I can be at full health, and be ready to do my best in taking on these enemy bosses, who I'm sure will be my toughest challenge yet.
By this time, Oichi and White have managed to move most of the jeeps out of the way, as a matter of fact, Oichi only has to just drive the final jeep to the checkpoint, and White has already driven her final jeep off after moving her share of the jeeps. After picking up some clips for my Type 100 and clothes from a fallen ally, then going back to the trailer to get changed, then after that going back to the fallen ally to put my former clothes on him, I then go back to the trailer and drive off, pleased to see that I can accelerate faster than a few minutes before, even though the low health of the vehicle restricts it's speed.
Since the three of us know that the checkpoint will be ambushed, we realise that it's best to take out the ambushers while they're unprepared, before assisting our allies at the checkpoint. And so we head for the forest, where we believe the most powerful of the enemy bosses will be there. We are fully aware that combined they'll probably be able to take us down with ease, but if we can ambush them and take them down one by one, then I'm sure that they will be defeated. At least I'm certain that they'll be distracted but for how long before the allies there will be defeated? I'm not sure.
As we head over there, I soon notice with my visions the enemy bosses engaging the allied bosses and it saddens me to see that the allies are getting beaten rather badly over there. Noticing that standing between us three and the battle are about a couple of dozen of regular grunts, we agree that my female allies shall assist in the main battle, while I defeat the grunts and join in the fight afterwards and so we leave our vehicles, while requesting that Uni informs us if any Team Rocket grunt tries to capture the trailer, only for us to then head into the forest and meet our enemies who are giving our allies such grief.
I see with my visions the grunts hiding amongst the trees, waiting to ambush me, clutching their weapons in their hands which varies from pistols to Arisakas with bayonets, to the occasional Type 100s, and so I then advance cautiously, watching each one of those enemies so that when they do try and attack me, I can just shoot them down.
I soon see a couple of grunts with pistols, trying to shoot me down but as soon as they expose themselves I shoot them down with my pistol, before heading over there and picking up some more clips as I want to save my SMG for the bosses, but unfortunately my pistol is running low. After which at another area, I then see a few riflemen with bayonets trying to do a banzai charge towards me, but I shoot them all before they're even close to my position.
After a bit more walking I then see an enemy with a Type 100 hiding by a tree, who would have fired his gun at me, had I not shot him down first. A few riflemen then pop out in hopes of avenging their fallen ally, but I shoot them down as well.
With them dealt with I move further some more before I then see amongst the forest, almost as if in formation, a squad of rifle men standing in a line trying to shoot at me, while leaning from their trees as make shift cover. Because of how I want to remain at full health, I make sure to be careful in not getting hit, so I hide as best as I can while engaging the enemy. But while I manage to avoid getting shot, doing this isn't easy and it takes me quite a while to even successfully shoot one of them, but the thing is the moment I have shot the first enemy down, I soon find this to be easier as there are less of them because I shoot more of them.
Eventually I shoot the last one down, but I then hear a few Team Rocket grunts yell "Banzai" as they then charge towards me. I therefore quickly reload and I am successful in killing every last one of them, before they even manage to stab me. Ah, I manage to defeat all the grunts and not take a single hit, excellent.
Now if I can just deal with the bosses and try not to get hit too much, me along with my female allies may have a very good chance in defeating all of the enemies in the camp, and finally securing not just the supplies, but our important victory.
Oddly enough as soon as I have finished thinking about what I need to do next, I then see a boss. The thing with this boss is that he carries a Type 4 rifle with a bayonet attached, and I also notice how he's at near death especially considering how he has plenty of gunshot wounds all over his body, and has blood pouring out each of them, not to mention his body language informing me how much pain he is in. I find it quite curious with how a short while earlier I was at near death and the enemy bosses were at full health, and now it is I with the maximum health, and my opponent with the near zero health. Still I must not let down my guard as even if I am at full health, it can easily go.
Despite my enemy not being in the best shape to continue, he fires his rifle at me and unfortunately every bullet he fires hits me, though it doesn't do much damage to me and during that time, I simply mow him down with my pistol causing him to scream in agony before finally dying.
As soon as I have managed to defeat him and reload my pistol, I then see another boss approach me. This time he carries a Type 99 and though like the first one he has numerous wounds that have plenty of his blood on them, I can tell that he has a fair amount more health than the other one and despite his condition; he won't be going down without a fight.
I quickly switch to my Type 100 and open fire against him while he fires his Type 99 at me. It ends up being a battle of attrition as we both open fire against each other, reload our weapons and then fire at each other some more, and then repeat this process until one of us is dead. Because of how I can reload quicker thanks to the perk a colas, and the fact that I have way more health than he does, I know this is a battle that I will win, it's just it's too bad that it isn't practical for me to avoid getting shot because as always with things like this, I need all the health I can get to win this battle.
Eventually after a short while of shooting, reloading, shooting, reloading and more shooting and reloading, I emerge the victor as the enemy finds that the damage he had to sustain was too much, clearly evident from how he was yelling a lot when he was shot, until the very end when he collapsed and died.
I then move towards him and pick up his gun, only to find that I'm pleased to see that it has extended magazines of 30 bullets, and there are plenty of magazines for this weapon. This should definitely be enough to take down the remaining enemies, and I should be able to kill the next enemy boss without too many problems, even if that boss will be at full health. Speaking of which as soon as I pick up the gun I then see the boss. The boss is a female with red pig tails and she has in each of her hands, a Type 100.
Before I know it we open fire against each other, and like before it is a battle of attrition though I like to think I'll win, because firstly I can reload faster thanks to the perk a colas meaning I can spend more time shooting, and secondly although she has 2 weapons to shoot me with, it'll definitely take even longer just for her to reload her weapons, meaning even more time for me to kill her. Yeah I'll definitely win this fight but at what cost to my health though, that's what concerns me.
Still, I guess I'll just have to fight her as best I can and hope that I don't get injured too much after fighting her. Eventually as we both continue to shoot at each other, I soon see her showing signs of pain, and I also see her body starting to be covered in gunshot wounds with blood pouring out, but she shows no signs of giving in, and then eventually after shooting her some more, as well as her showing more signs of pain, I begin to feel pain that lasts as opposed, to just a small amount of pain that only occurs when I'm shot.
Yes just as I figured it looks like I will be the victor in this duel, but I also predicted that I'd be injured quite a bit, and it looks like I'm right and what's more, as the shooting of each other continues, although the amount of pain she's in increases with every magazine I fire into her, to the point now where I feel that she'll die at any moment though my pain is not as much as my health is higher, my pain is increasing and while it's not as bad as earlier, and my body isn't begging me to stop, I am a bit tired of being injured all of the time.
Just as expected after firing what must be a few magazines of bullets into each other, she finally dies after screaming loudly as the pain proves too much for her to bear. Unfortunately for me I am wounded quite a bit now, and I've lost half my health in that battle. I can only hope that there won't be too much trouble in the other side of the forest, as I pick up the ammunition from the enemy boss. Soon afterwards, the 3 of us find each other after successfully securing the area before heading over there going around the checkpoint, in hopes that we can prevent the bosses there from assisting their allies in the jeeps.
By the time we're about half way however, Uni then mind talks to me.
"Black, although our allies in the checkpoint have done their best, the enemy jeeps have managed to defeat the garrison. Other than you, White and Oichi, there are only about a dozen troops left in the other side of the forest, who have managed to defeat the enemy in the area. They are on their way to secure the checkpoint, and will hopefully be able to defeat the remaining enemy troops there. Unfortunately a few of the enemy there, who are the remaining bosses, have driven off to the trailer and as I speak, they are trying to get to Viridian City." She says to me sounding rather concerned about this.
I don't blame her; in fact it concerns me as well. It's déjà vu again and it worries me with how difficult it's going to be, considering how it was when I had to do this a short while before. Still I've done it before and I'll do it again, this time the enemy shouldn't be too tough and this time I have my 2 female allies. And so with this in mind we rush as fast as we can to the nearest jeep, doing our best to avoid the enemy jeeps that still drive around, even though thanks to allied sniper cover, it's not as much of a problem.
Eventually after heading there as quickly as possible considering the few enemy jeeps that remain, the three of us get in the jeep with myself manning the Type 99 gun there, Oichi in the driving seat and White riding shotgun though oddly enough she has in her hands, a Type 100.
As Oichi heads off and attempts to pursue the trailer, I can only hope that it's not too far away and we will be able to capture the trailer in a short enough time, so that the enemies won't be able to assist, or worse that by the time we're done, the trailer will be in Viridian City. Oh no that wouldn't be good, not again especially with how lucky I was to get out of that one with all the jeeps and troops shooting at me, especially with the low health that I had. They might have even got reinforcements from Pallet Town for all I know, maybe even from the sea to the south of it if they have boats. Even if it may be that the garrison is weaker than the first time, I'd still rather not tempt fate after all we have been through.
In any case we're in luck as it does not take long at all for Oichi to reach the trailer, but standing on top of it facing us with a Type 100 in his hands, is one of the bosses. He tries to shoot at Oichi as best as he can, but thanks to the three of us firing at him simultaneously, he goes down pretty quickly. With no enemies shooting at us for the moment, Oichi then tries to align the jeep with the trailer so that we can then jump to its back. After Oichi succeeds in this, White then jumps onto the back of the trailer and tries to hold on to the best of her ability, I then attempt to move to the bonnet of the jeep and do the same thing, but suddenly I then see her shooting at an enemy with her Type 100.
I quickly jump to the back of the trailer as soon as I can and when I get there, I see that there is another boss standing there. Perhaps his intent was to ambush us when we got on the back. He has in his hands an Arisaka with a bayonet and after he fires his weapon, he does a daring banzai charge on top of the trailer, even as the trailer is moving around quite a bit.
Initially it concerns me because I need to reload my weapon as does White, and I fear that by the time I get up, he'll just knock me off the trailer as well as White which will buy the enemy some time, perhaps too much time but I soon remember that I have a side arm which should finish him off, after the pair of us have used our Type 100 clips against him. White realises this as well and so before he gets anywhere near us from his banzai charge, we open fire and shoot him down only for us to then climb onto the trailer, which is quite intense considering how the trailer is moving a lot.
Now hopefully it's just a matter of moving towards the trailer, which I'm certain will be easier said than done, because I know that they'll know there's no one left but us on the top, and so they'll therefore decide to swerve the trailer in hopes of us falling off. After reloading our guns we both carefully head for the front of the trailer.
This is really tense I must admit, as although I know that neither of us will die if we fall off, it'll mean that the trailer will be gone to Viridian City, the supplies will be taken off, and they will be able to fire the missile against us and cause disaster for Lastation and for the world. We must not fall off, because even if only one of us falls off, I'm not sure if either of us will be able to take on what will probably be 3 bosses in there alone.
Just as I feared it isn't easy as we're forced to travel slowly, and quite a few times I find myself almost losing balance a few times from the trailer turning as does White, but if the two of us can at least keep going without having to grab onto the edge which will be even worse, then I like to think we can make it. Come on just a little bit more, at least we're half way now after what feels like hours of agonising tension and worry, but just as I think this though and travel a bit more, the trailer then turns quite vigorously towards the left, and I find myself standing on one leg while trying to balance myself, until the force proves too much and then I find myself being tripped up, and I land on my back hard, before rolling over and only just managing to grab onto the side of the trailer.
This hurts me quite a lot and I know that my arms will ache after holding on for dear life, for what appears to be quite a while. I then look to my side to see White in a similar position, only to then look in front to see the driver looking out and noticing us there. He quickly gets out his gun while I get out my pistol and the both of us then shoot at each other, while White climbs up. After which I soon become concerned that he's shooting at my arm and it's becoming harder to hold on, and so as soon as I run out of bullets, I then decide to holster my pistol and put both my hands on the edge, so that I don't have to worry about letting go because of my injured arm, which now hurts even more after trying to hold on.
I then try and climb on to the trailer while seeing the driver lean back in again. Unfortunately just as I was about to finish climbing up to the top, the trailer swerves again and I find that the trailer swerves into a tree which hurts my back, and forces me to drop down where I'm hanging on for dear life again. Oh no my back and arms ache me, and the pain really takes its toll on me. The driver then does this again a few more times, hurting me even more.
At least thanks to White's assistance he stops trying to ram me, as I then hear gunfire and with that distraction, I am able to quickly as best I can despite the aches and pains climb up to the trailer and rush to assist, even if it takes a bit of time, time which I don't think I have much of considering how White will be dead soon if I don't get there quick enough, and I don't think I'll be able to take them all on at once.
Though I do get to the bonnet of the trailer and White is alive, it's not long before we all fire a round of clips at each other that White then dies along with the driver. At least 2 on 1 is better than 3 on 1 in this case, but even then I'm not sure if I'll survive this fire fight. No, I'll survive this, I have to. This must be the final part of this great battle that I think can be considered a turning point whether we win or lose, though win we must do.
And with this thought in mind, I open fire to my initial target while they open fire against me. Although the pain is once again severe, and my body demands to rest once more with my chest, my arms and my back being the most vocal, for the fate of the free world, for Lastation, Lowee, and those who want us to liberate them from tyranny, I will kill these enemies or die trying.
As the three of us continue to shoot at each other, firing all of our bullets in our clips before reloading them and firing some more, I eventually manage to kill one of the two enemy bosses and so now it's just one on one, us both being at similar health. Now I'm more hopeful that I'll be able to kill him considering how my faster reload should negate his gun being more powerful, at least I like to think so.
It's quite frustrating how I'm in even more pain than when it was the two of them and this pain, this agony increases as I feel the blood on my wounds pour out of my body, but I know I can't give in.
As I shoot at him it's interesting to see how he's just as determined as I am, and yet eventually he becomes just as exhausted and hurt as me, but still he carries on just as I do almost as if it's a battle of attrition. Eventually after a few minutes of this shooting I survive and he dies, but not without losing a lot of health and even though White can be revived again, it's sad to have seen her fall once again.
Still it is such a wonderful thing that after all of this fighting and suffering with pain, exhaustion and worry that I may not make it against such over whelming odds, that I have finally won this battle, defeated all of the enemies here, and have secured the trailers and the supplies inside. Now we can ship them to Lastation without Team Rocket knowing, and now Team Rocket won't be able to use the missiles and therefore provoke war, meaning that Lastation can focus on defending against Leanbox, and Lastation can also send in reinforcements where it can.
With luck, Viridian Forest will be under Loweean control soon and perhaps very soon, we can start to put up a siege against Viridian City and then eventually capture the city and hopefully Pallet Town as well. If those two places can be captured then we will have established a significant foothold in Kanto, but for now at least we have secured a great victory, and have caused a good amount of damage to Team Rocket in this region. I only hope that this advantage, this victory is not temporary and this victory will mean great things. As I stand on the bonnet of the trailer which has come to a stop despite myself being ever so exhausted and in pain, yet happy and proud of what has happened, Uni then speaks to me.
"Congratulations Black on your success, we are all grateful in your achievement and the interesting thing is, that this trailer was fairly close to Viridian City where you would have most certainly have died, along with any hope of freedom. We are very proud of your victory and we will definitely celebrate your victory in Lastation as well as in our ship, which we'd like you to join as soon as you and the troops deliver the supplies containing the missile parts.
You'll be interested to know that Noire has found a person, who appears to be from the same place that we were once from, and has the same amnesia that you have. He had no idea who he is but information about him has appeared on our database when he has arrived here due to mysterious circumstances, just like you. His name is Stealth and according to our database although he does have family, it's not known who they are and that's probably down to them not being here. He's a good fighter and he's more than happy to join in the fight against Team Rocket in Lowee." Uni says to me sounding rather pleased with how well I have done.
"Thanks a lot for the compliment and I think we may have seen Stealth before, but I'm not really sure in what circumstances, still I look forward to seeing him and you guys again." I say to her sounding happy with what she is saying.
I find it very interesting to hear what she has to say, I don't know what to make of how close I was to failing, that does frighten me a fair amount but then I suppose it shows how lucky I am, how I've still managed to win despite such odds. Then there's also Stealth, and it's interesting with how there is another person to arrive here who is from the same place as me, and yet it does make me wonder as to where did we originally come from, what happened from where we came from, how did we get here and why is that when we do come here, we arrive with no memories, and even though we may recognise the person, why do we not have many memories of them?
This has happened to me, it has happened to White and now it has happened to Stealth. I hope that over time I'll remember what's happened at where we're from, because I am definitely curious to know when and where I've seen him before, and what events took place at those times.
In any case it is nice that another person has arrived here in Lastation, and he's more than happy to help us, and I'm certain that he'll make a good ally and a good friend as well. It is a shame that because of the way the world is, despite his name sounding familiar after hearing it and being aware of his existence here, that I don't know much else but I hope that can change soon.
With these thoughts in mind, after seeing Oichi check up on me to see if I am alright after she sees the trailer come to a stop, I then move White's body into the trailer after clearing it of the dead grunts, and attempt to reverse before doing a U turn when possible as I need to react now, before the enemy spots me and attempts to capture this trailer.
I am happy to have won, but I know that this war isn't over yet, not by a long shot and even if I may think that delivering the supplies to the landing zone will be easier than what I just went through, I cannot let my guard down as something tells me that this is just the beginning, especially with how after all of this fighting I am still no closer to finding out the truth behind the nightmare I had. I only hope that Oichi is the key and will be able to help me, and that myself and White won't be brainwashed and we won't be forced to fight our allies or Lastation, because that would be disastrous and it will mean that all of this hard work, the victory we have earned and won, will be for nothing.
