Chapter 10: preparations
In an old bunker in a woods far away from the embers house 2 ghillied figures enter the bunker through a hatch covered in vines, "mother catherine isn't going to be happy if she finds out-" the ghillie glad woman said to her male counterpart as they got off the ladder only to be greeted by a woman in all white robes with a white veil with gold around the edges.
"if i found out what?" the woman says cocking her head to the side, "i think we were spotted on our recon mission mother catherine" the male said kneeling with his female counterpart also kneeling both their heads looking down "please forgive us" they both said.
Catherine walks behind them "you exposed yourself to the enemy… they have MY child they have MY angel, they could be increasing their defences right now" catherine says venom staining her voice.
"Forgive us" both soldiers say… "i may not forgive you but god will" catherine says calmly and draws a sword from within her white robes and swiftly decapitates the two soldiers and sheaths her sword back into its scabbard not a single drop of blood staining it or her robes.
"Quickly we must move today" catherine says moving past a guard clad in white and gold and he follows catherine into a room with a table that has a empty suit of armour the same white as her robes with gold trims and a black visor covering the face, "it's ok sweety mummy is coming and she will sculpt you into what you should of been" catherine says lifting her veil as she looked at the armour.
At the ember house:
"Dear i think someone's been spying on us" zenith says into her phone "calm down il come home and you can get back up at the pokemon tower ok" loden says trying to calm down his wife knowing that she was most likely right.
"No no il leave alex with alfred he just got home and he brought his troop with him for a meeting so he will have plenty of guards till i come back with the ghost battalion" zenith says "well i am still coming home to protect our son" loden says putting the phone down.
Alex was sitting at the side of his crib hugging his mareep toy and for once terrified he was once the hunter now he realised he was the hunted and almost jumped when zenith gently put a hand on his shoulder, "m-m-mummy i-i am scared" alex says almost trembling thinking just a month ago he assassinated a high up team rocket leader that was supplying his main target with what appeared to be medical supplies, "it's ok to be scared sweety i am scared too and if they come close to you i will show them no mercy" zenith says gathering alex up in her arms and holding him close.
After 3 minutes alfred walks into the room telling a scout to wait outside "mother i think you should go and wake the troopers il take care of alex" alfred says and alex looks confused, "wake the troopers?" alex says curious "i can use my dark powers to raise the dead pokemon spirits in the pokemon tower in town and control them" zenith says letting alex stand up, "ghost types? Is that the ghost battalion i heard about? The ones that snatched up so many runners like me?" alex says looking at zenith.
"Yes they are but they will help us stay with alfred and be a good boy do you think you can do that for me?" zenith says standing up and looks at alex in the eyes, alex can't help himself but feel defenceless needing someone to hold him he gives zenith another hug "il be good mummy" alex says and lets alfred pick him up as zenith leaves "your father will be home soon" zenith says leaving the house to get her army.
