Chapter 3

Sandgem Town

The girls reached the pokemon center in a few hours and in no time they settled into their room. Miracle layed Saki on the bed, while Azula quietly placed a now sleeping Harmony on the small love seat.

"Im surprised she's been out as long as she has," Azula said, speaking of Sakinah, "Its like her body just shut down."

"Its not uncommon. If you kiss her on her neck right behind her ear she should kick back to the land off the living."

Azula leaned over their girlfriend and placed a searing kiss upon Saki's neck. And as if a switch was flipped, Saki's arm grasped Azula's head, holding her in place, and gasping in pleasure, "Oh god, right there."

"Told you." Miracle's voice shocked Sakinah back to normal.

"Ahh, whats going on!" she let go of Azula and saw the shit eating grin plastered on her face.

"You feinted when I showed you Dhelmise. Then I carried you here."

"Oh... hows Harmony?"

"She's sleeping on the couch," Azula smiled, "She is going to be a rock sleeping like she does, all this new stuff is going to keep our jobs easy."

"You bet your ass," Miracle smiled, "I think I'm gonna head out and look around, maybe get into a little trouble. I'll be back in time for dinner." She gave all her girls a kiss and left the room.

"Zula? Is Miracle okay!" Sakinah asked.

Azula sighed and laid back next to her, "I don't know brainiac, I think she is still reeling from not being able to put an end to Alpha. Her entire life she has known she was different, three she knew she was adopted and at ten she found out about her gifts. In the last few years the has now found out she wasn't born with these abilities but was genetically engineered by a mad woman on a quest to destroy the world, then she found out she wasn't the only one who survived, then she finally met her birth mother and found out she had a twin sister."

"All that I know Zula...IS she okay?"

"For now...lets take it a day at a time." Saki snuggled in next to her and exhaled deeply, "She is stronger then anyone else we know, so lets stay on the path we have always been on. She protects us so we protect her."

OUTSIDE

Miracle's mind wandered, and with each step she was pulled deeper and deeper into her thoughts. She loved traveling and all that came with it, she loved her family as well and having the chance to have both has made her heart swell with happiness.

But her mind was also harboring painful thoughts, dark imagery of her birth mother and what she had planned for her if she were to ever get her hands around the bitches neck... And the last few silent years have only pushed her to the edge in anticipation.

Miracle took a deep breath and stopped walking, she looked up and just stared at the darkening sky, "I do wish I could see you Alpha... Cuz I want this shit to end."

Miracle then felt someone push her from behind, "Move it bitch, this isn't a place to be standing around."

Miracle's face curled into a massive smile. She turned around to meet the small statured man, "Oh...please tell me you're a trainer, because I am feeling the need to crush something with my fists."

"I am, whats it to ya?"

"You just pissed off the wrong gal fucker. I challenge you to a pokemon battle."

"I don't have time for this, get lost chick. Even if I were to accept this, I don't fight newbies."

"I do love it when people think I just started." She grabs him by the collar and starts dragging him over to the battlefields.

"Are you crazy bitch, let me go!"

"Yo! Jimmy whats going on!" A couple of guys asked as Miracle dragged him by.

"Get me away from her, she just grabbed me and is taking me somewhere."

"Im taking him to the battlefields, I challenged him and he declined so I'm getting it the hard way." Miracle said.

"Fools, get her off of me!" Jimmy yelled.

They all rushed Miracle, she smiled and decided to systematically drop every one of the men that came at her. She took Jimmy and tossed him into the air, she then spun and popped one guy in the throat then blasted another guy with a knee to the gut. The last guy never moved from his spot and fell to his ass in fear. "I do wish you guys would have just humored me." She reached out and grabbed a screaming Jimmy before he hit the ground. "Now, can we continue on to the battlefields?"

"Lady what is your deal!"

"Ive got an itch, and you were the first asshole that came along. Now will you fight me or not, I'll even let your little boy band join in on the fun." She threw him to the box, and smiled.

"For real, you want to fight us for on one. You really are crazy."

She leaned over him, "Im just that good Jimmy. Get your guys and I'll show ya."

Jimmy stood up and dusted himself off, "Hey guys get over here, lets show this bitch whose boss. Lets go Sawk!" The others all threw out pokemon, a Throh, Machamp, and a Jangmo-o.

"Oooh this will be fun. Kirlia and Chimchar." Her pair of young pokemon appeared and were ready for battle.

The guys pokemon all charged at the same time and Miracle was all smiles. Chimchar easily dodged strike after strike while Kirlia set up a double team. "Kirlia use shadow sneak, Chimchar...mud slap!"Chimchar tossed the globs of mud into the faces of the charging pokemon, instantly blinding them, then Kirlia was able to attack each of them from the shadows.

Jangmo-o fell first, then Throh followed suite. "Come on bro we need to drop her." Jimmy growled.

The guy, who was the only one Miracle didn't drop earlier gulped and looked at Miracle for a second, "Hey Jimmy!"

"What is it Bobby!"

"I think I know who this gal is," He gulped, Jimmy growled at him to continue, "She was the runner up in the Hoenn League a few years back. She is also the most recent member of the Orange League Hall of Fame."

"Dont be an idiot. Someone like that wouldn't be using those kind of pokemon."

"I'd listen to your friend Jimmy," Miracle returned her pokemon and pressed a few buttons on her wrist band, "Im exactly who he says I am." She popped a new pokeball out and released her Scizor, "Want to try me out now?"

"Sawk use fire punch!"

"Bullet punch." Miracle yawned. The black bug flickered through the wide space between them and blasted the fighting type so hard it nearly caved in its chest.

Jimmy returned his pokemon and ran away in terror, "Bitch your lucky I've got someplace I need to be. Get up guys, lets go!"

The three of them left quickly, leaving the frozen in fear Bobby in Miracle's line of fire, "You were smart once, will you repeat that performance?" Bobby nodded and left hastily as well, "Good, I think that was a great exercise. Guess I should head back now."

REGION FAR AWAY

Computers were powering up and dozens of workers were trying their best to keep up with the increased workload.

Then a large hulking woman walked in and started growling and barking at them, "You fucking little piss ants, its been two years and we cannot get shit right yet. We didn't raid that floating hunk of metal for nothing."

"Madame Beta," a man spoke up, "We have built everything to the exact specifications, but we are still missing the precise numbers and variables to make it work correctly."

"Then test it and fine tune it as you go, that's how science works," She growled.

"Leave them alone Amazona!" A voice bellowed.

The large woman dropped to her knees and cowered under the weight of the voice, "Lady Alpha...I just want things to be perfect...for you...for us!"

The hooded woman leaped to Amazona's side and grabbed her by the back of the neck, "Be patient my Beta, its been two years since we have made a move so do not rush into the situation. We took a bad turn of events such as losing my two daughters and made ourselves a new vessel for the powers they took. Now I want you to run the tests on these wormholes, and then hopefully we can make things right for us...And our family."

"You never told me what these tests will achieve for us?" Amazona asked.

Alpha smirked, "These wormholes, if the data is correct, will bring pokemon into this world that should rival any legendary pokemon. And again, if our info is correct we will have seven different pokemon at our finger tips that will allow for the destruction of our very civilization."

"How do we know if they'll even work?" Amazona asked.

"I funded Aether's initial trials. I was there when Ketchum stopped them and Skull from doing what they set out to do. Unfortunately it took me till now to get all the information they had gathered. So...Beta, if you would please start the initial test."

Amazona nodded and motioned for the computer programmers to fire up the system. The machines hummed to life, lights popping on and off and a piercing siren going off in the distance. IN no time a small rift began to tear itself open and blast a ray of blinding light through the room.

"How are we performing Beta?" Alpha asked.

"Numbers are high...but stable." One person spoke.

"Hold on, we have a spike," Another said, "Somethings coming through!"

The machines began to crackle with electricity as the rift grew bigger and bigger. Then an explosion rocked the room and sent everyone flying to the ground.

"What the hell happened!?" Alpha yelled.

"The calculations were off and the machines were not up to the task." A woman said.

"Did the creature come through?" Alpha yelled angrily.

"We don't know, our machines are fried."

"This is unacceptable," Amazona growled.

"We tried to warn you, we needed more time to crunch the numbers, and run smaller tests."

"Beta shut up! Now I want all this cleaned up and a report filed by tomorrow. I want answers." She turned and walked away. Amazona punched a hole into the side of concrete pillar and stormed off after her lover.

The techies all scrambled around till one came up with a small slip of paper,"Uh, I think I found something."

The others all gathered and looked at it, "Call Beta back in here, I think the creature we were looking for did come through." She turned the paper around and it was a picture of what looked like a long black blur streaking out of the wormhole.

"What is it?" They all asked.

Outside the facility, a tall nearly translucent creature stumbled about with burns and shrapnel up and down its backside. It kept its head on a swivel and slowly kept itself moving forward. All the while it said one thing, "Miracle, Miracle, Miracle...Miracle."
