Episode 39: Recovery Mission P2

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon I do own Hotaru, Ashley, Darnel, Queen Venomica and the Autobot OC Windchaser.

Last time of Hotarumon 14, Cipher and the Decepticons launched a surprise attack on a US government facility. The Decepticons had appeared attacking the facility first even steeling a top secret device killing Cipher soldiers as well proving the Decepticons weren't friends to Cipher at all. Hotaru is approached by not only Special Agent Gibbs but Director Vance as well whom informs her that NCIS has need of her aide. After being briefed at the Autobot base Hotaru managed to find the second facility for more information on the device while also quickly stopping a Cipher attempt to gain blueprints to the weapon. Now after a successful defense of that facility Team Hotarumon 14 begin the next phase of the plan...Reclaiming the device from the Decepticons full knowing Cipher will also attempt to gain that device. What will the new plan will Hotaru with Darnel's aide be and will it succeed? Find out on Part two of Recovery Mission!

*Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Commercial Break

Back to show

Windchaser was making a not too quick but steady progress to the Decepticon Warship the Nemises. Inside her Darnel and Hotaru were forging a new plan. For this to work they needed to carefully prepare to reclaim that stolen device back. One thing was certain Hotaru wasn't looking into facing off against Megatron himself, just facing a Shadow Pokemon alongside Queen Venomica was bad enough. So far as she conversed with Darnel they were on the same page. Perhaps if they played their cards well just perhaps they could get Megatron to chase after Optimus Prime and the other Autobots so that Hotaru wouldn't have to deal with him. As she was thinking she asks Windchaser "Windchaser...Could you handle Starscream?"

Windchaser gave a giggle "Any Autobot could beat that Decepticon one-on-one easily. That's the catch there. He isn't gonna be easy to get in a one-on-one combat though. Why do you ask?"

Hotaru answered "Cause Darnel and I came up with a good plan. One that everyone has a part in. Contact Optimus Prime, Director Vance and Agent Gibbs. It's time I explain the plan."

"Certianly!" Windchaser replied connecting to NCIS and the Autobot base.

Once more there were three long rings coming over the line from both sides "This is Agent Gibbs!"

"And I'm here too" Ratchet's voice sounded.

Windchaser muttered "Of course you'd answer for Optimus. Ratchet...Is Optimus Prime still there?"

"I am" Optimus Prime answered.

"Good" Hotaru said "Gibbs, is Director Vance with you?"

"He is" Agent Gibbs replied.

"Perfect" Hotaru said "With the help of Darnel I've thought of a plan to reclaim that device..."

"Excellent" Vance admitted.

"It's gonna take everyone we have to do it though" Hotaru warned "Which means Optimus, you and the other Autobots need to do your part if we have any hope of pulling this off. It also means that both NCIS and I need to do our part ourselves."

"We're listening" Was the response from both the Autobot leader and the two NCIS agents.

Hotaru had Windchaser bring up the schematics to the Nemisis "We must expect that the Decepticons have the device in their warship."

"That's a big ship" Director Vance noted "All loaded with Decepticon soldiers."

"Correct" Darnel said brieflytaking over for Hotaru "Plus Cipher is sure to try to mount an attack on the Nemisis too. Which is more crucial that everyone play their parts extremely well cause there are huge risks involved at least for Team Hotarumon 14.

Hotaru let this sink in then took over "This plan we've thought of is one that can take on both the Decepticons and Cipher. First of all the main issue is going to be Megatron wouldn't you agree Optimus?"

"I would" Optimus immediately confirmed "You are going onto his turf and Megatron won't hold back any punches. He is the biggest obestical you'd face if you go onto that watship of his."

"Which sadly I'm not going on the Nemisis...Ashley, Darnel and Windchaser will go onto the Nemisis, locate the device, recover it from the Decepticons and get out."

"That's the just of the plan" Darnel told the Autobot Leader and the two highest ranking NCIS members.

"Sounds good" Director Vance admitted "If the plan works. So what are the heavy details you need us to do to preform?"

"Plus where are you going to go Miss. Hatsumi?" Agent Gibbs asked.

"My Ziva and I will be facing off against Cipher whom will be lead by Queen Venomica whom will certainly have a Shadow Pokemon with her" Hotaru answered swiftly "Seeing that my pet Ziva and I are the only ones that can face off against those big threats. That's where you and your team come in Agent Gibbs. Cipher is sure to bring soldiers and I'd like it if I could have some back up."

Back at NCIS headquaters Gibbs nodded understandingly "You ask and you'll get our help."

"So Cipher will be covered by NCIS, Hotaru and her pet Ziva" Director Vance said understandingly "Ashley, Darnel and Windchaser enter the Nemisis find the device, recover it, then exit out. Like Optimus said that thing would be crawling with Decepticons."

"Indeed" Hotaru admitted "Yet we thought of that too which is why I asked Windchaser to contact Optimus too."

Optimus Prime had a feeling what he'd be helping against so he let Darnel explain it "Indeed, Optimus Prime sir, you and your Autobots must make a clever distraction to remove most of the Decepticons including Megatron from the Nemisis to fight them somewhere else."

Optimus saw what Hotaru was needing "A clever rouse...Divide and conquer stategy."

"Exactly" Darnel told him "The more Decepticons they have on the field battling Autobots the better it is for us. We just require that the battle be very far away from the Nemisis."

"The Decepticons have Ground Bridge technology as well" Ratchet points out "So even if they are far away they could end up back there in a jiffy."

"Which is why while Ashley, Darnel and Windchaser are on the Nemisis they need to shut down communications so that the Decepticons don't have communications with each other" Hotaru points out.

"Clever girl" Ratchet admitted smiling "That way the Cons can't use their ground bridge technolgy because their communications are down."

"I'm sure someone like this Soundwave would be noticing the error" Hotaru admitted "He'd fix the problem but at least that gives us time to find what Ashley, Darnel and Windchaser are looking for, recover it, then get out. Plus the less Decepicons in the warship the greater our chances are in a successful mission."

"I gotta hand in it to you and Darnel, Hotaru" Gibbs admitted "This is a good plan for a recovery mission. I now see why you said everyone has to do everything in their part to the max. For if anything goes wrong things could end badly."

"All good plans come with great risks" Optimus admitted "Yet this plan Hotaru has came up with thanks to Darnel helping her with it is the best shot we've got to recover that device. Hotaru is right, that device is inside the Nemisis! Windchaser you must expect the unexpected! Do what you can to protect Ashley and Darnel. With the aide of the other Autobots we'll do our part in ensuring that very little Decepticons remain on that ship. There is no promises on whom maybe left behind."

"Understood sir!" Windchaser replied.

"Then with the plan laid out in motion for us we all agreed to it?" Director Vance asked Gibbs and Optimus Prime.

"Agreed" was the response.

"Where are you anyway?" Gibbs asked Hotaru.

Windchaser replied "According to my tracking device we are about one hundred miles away from the Nemisis!"

"I could Ground Bridge you onto the Nemisis" Ratchet admitted.

"You could but that'll give the game away" Gibbs warned "The moment this Soundwave detects Ground Bridge energy in the Nemisis he'll know something is up."

"So how do you plan to get on board?"

"Heights" Windchaser replied seeing the cliffs.

Ashley pails hating heights "Oh of all the ideas...Couldn't you think of something else? Like maybe fly us on there?!"

"I don't have an air based vechicle form missy" Windchaser told Ashley in deathpanned tone "So we'll have to improvise!"

"I'll leave those details to Windchaser" Hotaru told Ratchet "I trust her. Bottomline Optimus we'll need that distraction to go on before Windchaser gets close enough to the Nemisis about fifty meters away from it."

"Will do so" Optimus declared.

Agent Gibbs then spoke "We'll be waiting for you once you've arrived Hotaru."

"Got it!" Hotaru said.

Windchaser continued to get closer to the Decepticon Warship.

Inside Cipher's base Miror B had returned with very little soldiers left. Erdos was furious that they failed to get the blueprints. Oh he wasn't mad Miror B failed after all it was gonna happen. He could only hope he bought Queen Venomica enough time to come up with a plan to deal with the Decepticons. He was also alarmed at how outplayed Miror B was. Sure Erdos expected him to lose but to be completely outthought was going to be a problem. Cipher in the future would have to be extremely careful on their plans even if they were successful in eliminating their foe for good.

"You aren't angry at me for the failure?" Miror B asked.

"Oh don't get me wrong I'm always angry at failure" Erdos told him "Yet I can't be upset at you as you were destined to lose that confrontation. What bothers me is how she handed it to you and thereby us. She completely outthought us every step of the way. No doubtingly you told her that she'd be facing Queen Venomica in round 2?"

"I did" Miror B said "Sorry to do that but I can't explain it. I was frustrated that she outthought me!"

"Then you understand what I feel about this repeated defeats she gave Cipher at her hands" Erdos told him. He turned to see Queen Venomica "What is your plan?"

"They know we're cccoming" Queen Venomica admitted "No doubtingly Hotarumon 14 will face Cccipher. We gotta be able to cccounter her plan. Bessst to expect NCCCISSSS to back her up so cccome heavily equipped to deal with them."

"Plus those Autobots would want to help deal with these Decepticons" Miror B pointed out "Perhaps we should look into MECH's efforts after all."

"After that failure it'sss bessst not to tie ourselvesss with them" Queen Venomica said.

"She's right" Erdos said.

"We ssshall sssee what Hotarumon 14 hasss in mind" Queen Venomica hissed "Whatever it would be...We'll be ready thisss time."

Then there was silence as Queen Venomica left readying her attack.

On the Nemisis Megatron was on the bridge. The Decepticon Leader was still a bit sour at Hotaru overcoming his welcoming party two nights ago. Queen Venomica was right very little happened without Megatron's final approval on things. Typically he'd never go after any organic yet there was something about this girl the Decepticons were after that screamed she needed to be dealt with. Right now he was holding the device that his second-in-command Starscream just gave to him. Megatron glanced at the belt like object once then spoke to Starscream in a distainful manner "You wasted our time going after something like this?!"

"The humans of this planet were developing it Lord Megatron" Starscream said cowarding in fear of what his master would do to him "Whatever the case we can't have organics making a weapon that might be able to harm us my liege! Something tells me it has great power."

Megatron glanced at the belt unsastified with the answer "You had better be right Starscream cause if not, what you did last night despite my approval to it will have consquences. Give this device to Shockwave right now...I'm sure he'll figure things out about it then have it up and running."

"Of course Lord Megatron" Starscream said walking away.

Starscream only had time to locate where Shockwave was when warning sirens blared through the entire ship. Once these sirens were on Megatron announced to his second-in-command "That may have to wait Starscream after all. Report back!"

Without haste Starscream returned to the bridge as even he could see Autobots were out and about most likely in search for Shockwave's hidden labortories. Even Megatron had a feeling that was why the Autobots were about. Megatron gave Starscream a command "I'll be taking most of our forces to enage the Autobots Starscream. Those that I leave here are under your command till I get back. If you lose whatever that belt item is then I wouldn't want to be you if you know where I'm getting at."

"I won't lose this Lord Megatron" Starscream said swiftly "After all we still have the Predacon!"

"That you can't completely control yet" Shockwave said as he was also on the bridge.

"Will you shut up about that?! I so can control it!"

"You have yet to prove that theory correct."

Megatron silenced Starscream with a quick glare "Enough from you Starscream! Now I'll take my leave to engage Optimus Prime and his fellow Autobots. Once more those I leave in here are yours to command."

Megatron walks off taking a whole lot of Decepticon soldiers with him in the process.

Windchaser had arrived fifty meters away from the Nemisis amazingly undetected by it's sensors. This was mainly due to Darnel's suggestion to stay underneath the trees. Windchaser and her passengers could see Megatron with a huge swarm of Decepticons backing him left the Nemisis. Most likely to engage Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots. The group waits a while till all signs pointed out it was time to move. Hotaru and Ziva get out of Windchaser when they see Agent Gibbs with his crew of NCIS agents approaching. Hotaru turns to Ashley and Darnel "Be extremely careful you two and listen to Windchaser once you are on that Warship. There should be very little Decepticons on board but be prepared for any situation."

"You got it" Ashley said.

"We'll make sure to watch over ourselves" Darnel told Hotaru "Just be careful yourself Hotaru. Sure Ziva is incredibly great to have as an ally on the field of battle but not even she can protect you all the time."

Hotaru understood as Windchaser prepared to close the door. Darnel went into the driver's seat when Gibbs tapped on the window. Windchaser rolled it down as Special Agent Gibbs held a small device giving it to Darnel "Darnel, this is a jamming device that Abbey made for this occasion. Once inside the Nemisis activate it immediately and it should jam any signal temporarily. According to Ratchet there is a radar dish somewhere in our out of the Nemisis. If you could disable that during the time you've activated this jamming device it should in Abbey's words shut down their entire communications systems for a good while giving you so much more time to get that device back."

"Thanks Agent Gibbs!" Darnel said taking the device.

Agent Gibbs nodded at the thanks then let Windchaser roll up her window.

Hotaru with her pet Ziva and the rest of NCIS prepared for the unevitable. This time they'd be on the attack immediately. Tony was still in a bad mood for not being able to stop the Decepticons from stealing that device. While he wouldn't mind fighting alongside Hotaru once more this time on the offensive he still blamed himself.

"Memo to myself" Tony muttered "Always be ready for big evil murderous robots."

"That may have been a one time thing Tony" Mcgee told him.

"One time too much Proby" Tony retorted.

"He has a point Dinozo" Gibbs told him "These Decepicons don't act like Cipher does for a reason. Next time though if there is a Decepicon attack on a navel facility we know whom to call. These Autobots."

"Was that what that white and pink Tesla was?" Tony asked.

"She was" Hotaru answered "Met her two nights ago and you think it was easy for me when the Decepicons attacked me out of nowhere?"

"They attacked even you?" Tony asked bewildered "I mean you are considered a hero but I wouldn't think these Decepticons would've cared compared to Cipher."

"Windchaser is still trying to figure out why they did attack me that one night" Hotaru admitted "As even to the Autobots it doesn't make sense. Other than maybe they are scared of me somehow."
"Or want power for there own needs" Kenshin her father remarked.

Hotaru's Ziva now meets NCIS Ziva and the two were looking at each other. Hotaru gave a slight giggle as she approached the two, then she got in between them "Ziva."

"Yeah?" both Ziva's asked although the Zeroara added on "Mistress?"

"Meet Ziva."

Tony was even more bewildered "There are two ZIVA'S now?!"

Hotaru went further explaining to her pet "Ziva, this is whom you were named after, my father's coworker Ziva."

NCIS Ziva gave a small grin as she extended a hand to the Zeroara's "Nice to meet you. Your mistress named you well. I'm honored that she gave you my name. I look forward to seeing how you fight."

Hotaru's response was "I think you're gonna love how my Ziva fights. In fact she's my teacher when it comes to learning how to fight as a Pokemon. Something I never got to do before I freed her and was allowed to have her as a pet. It's thanks to her I've improved my fighting abilities. She really knows her stuff."

"Again" Tony muttered "Two Zivas?! And they just might be the same when it comes to fighting?! Just one was bad enough."

NCIS Ziva shot Tony a glare as Hotaru's Ziva asked "Mistress...May I shock him just once?!"

"Negative!" both Agent Gibbs and Hotaru answered with Hotaru adding "We need him at the best of his abilities for this upcoming battle, not possibly paraylized."

Agent Gibbs also walked up behind Tony and gave him his famous slap to the back of the head causing Tony to mutter "Shutting up about the situation boss!"

With this said Hotaru goes right to work reaching for her Rototrix "Alright time to select the Pokemon form. Let's go with something that can work well in this area."

She turned it to Flygon then slapped it down. There was a flash of white light as she briefly lost her clothes to begin her transformation Hotaru's skin turns light green scale like in most areas except for the upper leg areas and the soles of her feet. She has red Flygon eyes, sprouts Flygon's Dragon wings which are light green and red near the edge, then she grows a tail which is light green and green with the last part of it being light green with red edgings. She loses two fingers on each hand as they became sharp dragon claws. When the light show ended Hotaru was "Flygon!"

Hotaru's Ziva nodded approvingly "That'll work nicely Mistress! With Flygon you can use the field and the sky to your advantage."

Agent Gibbs let Hotaru take command of the small band "Once Windchaser gets inside the Decepticon Warship the Nemisis, we'll begin the attack. Queen Venomica should also be coming around that time so if we time it right we can pull off a surprise attack even on her. Find a place to hide behind and be ready to strike."

All NCIS agents seemed to agree with that plan. They went about finding hiding spaces to wait behind.

Windchaser finally made it to a cliffside then with her remaining passengers prepared to drive off the cliff. She announces to Ashley and Darnel "Okay you two. It's now or never. I'm in position! Any last requests?"

"I have one" Ashley muttered "Is it too late to reconsider how we're gonna get on that thing?"

"This is the only known way" Windchaser said "Good thing I took that Phasing device before leaving the Autobot base with Prime's permission cause landing on top would cause a ruckus!"

Without haste Windchaser drove off the cliff then fell right on course to hit the top of the Nemisis! Just as she was about both she and her passengers turned briefly intangible phasing right into the Decepticon Warship amazingly landing in it without creating a scene.

"That went well!" Darnel said while inside Windchaser then he activated the single jammer "Alright we only got about maybe an hour at best to search for this radar before finally looking for that belt item."

"It maybe on top of the ship" Windchaser said "Let's get going!"

The three silently make their way around the entire ship. At this moment Queen Venomica did appear with Cipher soldiers and her supporters "Time to get even with the Decccepticonsss!"

Commercial Break

Back to Show

Queen Venomica lead Cipher and her followers onto the battlefield towards the Nemisis. Before anyone could react Hotaru wiped up a sandstorm trapping the villains in it then slams herself into the ground triggering a massive Earthquake which was only felt by the Cipher Pions, Queen Venomica's loyal followers, and Queen Venomica herself. With the exception of Queen Venomica all fell onto their butts or faces. Then they were greeted by a barrage of bullets as NCIS agents began firing on the huge crowd. Queen Venomica glared at Hotaru "I sssee you cccleverly prepared for thisss!"

"You can thank Miror B for giving me a heads up on what to to expect" Hotaru replied "Now you evil Succubus know this you nor Cipher will never get that device back!"

"All deviccces one day will fall into enemy handsss" Queen Venomica hissed lunging forward at Hotaru.

Hotaru flew out of Queen Venomica's range avoiding the massive lunge "That all you got Queen Venomica?!"

Queen Venomica hissed venomiously "No...But,"

Hotaru's Rototrix dectected a Shadow Pokemon approaching from Hotaru's back. She heard her Rototrix and turned just in time to see a blue dragon with red wings "Ah yeah, Queen Venomica's Shadow Pokemon..."

"That's a problem" the Rototrix said "That's a Salamamance! A Dragon Flying type Pokemon! The final form of Bagon! It's nearly unbeatable in the skies which it calls it's home!"

Without warning the Salamannce growls then at Queen Venomica's command began building up dragonic energies then after it pointed it's head upward unleashed it's Draco Meteor attack.

"Take cover!" Gibbs ordered his crew seeing the meteors "And let Hotaru handle this Shadow Pokemona and Queen Venomica. Return fire on Cipher soldiers and Queen Venomica's soldiers!"

"On it boss!" Tony and Kenshin replied.

NCIS agents took cover avoiding the meteors while Hotaru flew towards them then put her dragon training that she learned from Jake's grandfather to good use. Thanks to that she managed to weave in and out of the meteors causing them to miss her. Once she got close she unleashed a Dragon Claw of her own striking the Shadow Salamance in it's chest. It roared then out of retailation tried to use it's own Dragon Claw but ended up missing it's target as Hotaru had backed away a good distance to avoid the attack.

Hotaru's Ziva went onto the attack avoiding blasts from Cipher Pions then came at two of them nailing them with her Plasma Paws attack by driving each of her fists into their hearts killing them on the spot after eletrocuting them. Ten tried to surrounded the Zeraora when she leaps up and unleashed a mighty Discharge attack onto each of them. Their electrocuted screams echoed till they dropped. Four were left standing but not for long as Ziva came at them, then with one mighty slash...Four heads detached from the Cipher soldiers. As this was going on NCIS Ziva was also firing on Cipher soldiers and going hand-to-hand combat with others easily crushing them. Then once both Ziva's crossed each other's paths, Hotaru's Ziva filled her own fist with fire in an attempt to use Fire Punch while NCIS Ziva aimed a kick. Hotaru's Ziva's Fire Punch connected to another Soldier's head burning it off while NCIS Ziva's kick broke her Cipher soldier's neck. Both Ziva's stared looking at each other's work then shook hands mid battle with NCIS Ziva remarking to Hotaru's pet "With you on her side, Hotaru has a great ally against Cipher."

"Yeah" Hotaru's Ziva admitted "I just really hate Cipher for what they did to me."

NCIS Ziva knew "Who can blame you? They tortured you. If that happened to me I'd be wanting to kill them too."

The two would then go back to work with Tony muttering to himself as he took one of Queen Venomica's follower's out with a head shot to Kenshin "Seriously...Your daughter has a good Pokemon that she nicknamed Ziva...That's two Ziva's, Kenshin! And they seem to be getting along well!"

"As they should" Kenshin responded.

"I'm sure our Ziva's most likely happy to know that someone shares her name and acts the way she would at times" Mcgee admitted "Although Hotaru's Ziva seems to be a bit more brutal than our Ziva."

"Put together those two are a nightmare" Tony muttered "Glad they are on our side though! No way will I want to be on the recieving end of those two."

Queen Venomica slithers underneath Hotaru waiting for the Shadow Salamance to send Hotaru down towards her so she could get a bite in. Shadow Salamance uses it's supieor flight speed to close the gap on it's foe. Hotaru noticed that her Rototrix was right Salamance was indeed faster in the air. Still there was one thing it wasn't immune to and that was the sandstorm that she had set up. Perhaps she could use her lesser speed to her advantage by trapping it in a tornado of sand. The Rototrix was warning her "Hotaru, Ground type moves don't have an effect on Flying types! Reconsider it'll be a waste of an attack trying to do that move!

"It maybe pointless to use ground type moves on a flying type" Hotaru told her Rototrix "Yet if regular Sand Attack works then it's possible that it can work...Especially if I don't consider the move I'm making a Ground type move."

The Rototrix responded as it was wondering what she had her mind "What do you mean?"

"Watch and learn!" Hotaru said as the Salamance attempted to strike her with a neatly timed Dragon Claw.

At the last second Hotaru seemed to sidestep the faster dragon in the air so that it's attack missed her. She even taunted Erdos whom she knew was in command of the Shadow Pokemon "That all you got Erdos?"

Inside Cipher's base Erdos exploded "I'M GONNA ENJOY BEATING YOU DOWN THEN TEARING YOU LIMB FOR LIMB! THAT'S IT SHADOW SALAMANCE TIME TO INTRODUCE HER TO A SHADOW ATTACK! SHADOW IMPACT!"

Hotaru wasn't able to hear this attack but once she saw Shadow Salamance glowing with pitch evil darkness she gasped as she attempted to do what she did last time by sidestepping this attack. Instead though it was like the attack couldn't miss and the Shadow Salamance strikes her like a high flying battering ram. There was an explosion of darkness as the attack sent Hotaru realing in pain to the ground below. She was suffering from several dark colored burns, several internal injuries causing her severe bleeding in the inside and she felt as if her energy was being targetted. At the last second she notices she was nearly in Queen Venomica's striking range for a bite. So as she was landing she pointed both feet downward so that in the process of falling straight down. She found Queen Venomica's head. The Succubus Naga Queen wasn't expecting that as the momentim of the fall wasn't stopped and the two hit the ground with Hotaru sitting right on Queen Venomica's face gasping for breathe as she asked out while coughing out blood while feeling very heart internally as well "Okay...What the heck was that?! I can't say I haven't seen an attack like that before!"

"That was a Shadow attack!" The Rototrix said "That's what makes Shadow Pokemon dangerous...They can trigger a new never before seen attack type. Shadow attacks are seemingly supereffective on any non Shadow Pokemon."

Hotaru grunts muttering to her Rototrix enraged at it slightly for keeping that a secret from her "YOU DIDN'T THINK TO WARN ME OF THAT?!"

"Like you said, we never seen such an attack before so I only thought that these Shadow Pokemon we've faced so far never had a Shadow attack...Looks like I was mistaken."

Hotaru's Ziva saw the condition of her mistress and nearly broke formation "I should've warned her about Shadow attacks!"

NCIS Ziva put a hand on her shoulder "Ziva, I know you are protective of your mistress but she'd want you to help focus on the enemy soldiers. Besides sure she wasn't aware of those attacks before but she'll prevail. I know because I see it in her eyes that she won't refuse to lose! Failure isn't an option this time."

Hotaru's Ziva watched then understood where NCIS Ziva was getting at nodding.

Hotaru heard hissing as Queen Venomica tried to bite her in the butt. She took time to notice that Shadow Salamance wasn't moving, it must've been from the after effect of using that Shadow attack...Much like Hyper Beam it must've made it's user unable to move. Before Queen Venomica could land a bite Hotaru got to her legs then used Queen Venomica's head as a trampolen then leaped up towards Shadow Salamance. Erdos realized his error curisng himself "NO, NO, NO, NO! THAT SHADOW ATTACK DIDN'T BEAT HER! SHADOW SALAMANCE CAN'T MOVE DUE TO USING IT! THAT MOVE WAS A SHADOW VERSION OF GIGA IMPACT!"

Hotaru then waved her two hands using two Dragon Claws striking the Shadow Salamance in it's chest while it was trying it's best to recover. Despite this though Hotaru notices that her attacks did very little damage while still reeling from the injuries she suffered from that dangerous Shadow Impact "What the? I hit was a Super-Effective move so what gives?!"

The Rototrix replied "That Shadow attack...It didn't just do severe damage to you but it burned you! Burns heavily reduce a Pokemon's attack stat while zapping HP away from you each time you launch an attack...Regardless if that attack deals damage or boosts you."

Without haste Erdos ordered Salamance to use Aeroblast on Hotaru. Hotaru watches as she was still in close range too close to avoid this upcoming attack. Shadow Salamance's mouth filled with a powerful air attack that was blasted onto her in close range. The result of the blast sent Hotaru spriraling until she hit a rock cliff grunting in pain as it collasped onto her muttering to herself with several signs of cuts from the air blast all over her body "Oh boy...I gotta be careful. Don't want to take any Dragon type move, or even another whatever that Shadow attack did...Nor do I want to be hit by that Flying type move...Sure it didn't do Super-effective damage but the fact is, I've taken a lot of damage both internally, externally, and I'm also burned. I've gotta turn this around but how?!"

She was still thinking on what to do despite being buried underneath the rubble. She'd have to use a Special attack but Flygon as Darnel told her while it did have Special attacks it wasn't totally useful at it. Flygon was meant to be physical but that didn't mean it was completely useless when it came to special attacks.

Meanwhile on the Nemisis Ashley, and Darnel dart about the warship. Due to most Decepticons being with Megatron it was easy to go about unseen. This was due to the jamming device. Those Decepticons that were on board had little knowledge of their intruders. Cleary the image both Darnel and Hotaru wanted. Too make it easier, Windchaser made sure to shoot down any Decepticon before they could sound an alarm. One Decepticon on the other hand that had suspected something was off was Shockwave. The Decepticon's chief scientist's movements were caught by Starscream "Where do you think you are going?!"

"Something isn't logical here" Shockwave said "Think Starscream why can't Soundwave contact Lord Megatron?"

"Cause he's probably in a battle with Optimus Prime and doesn't want to be disturbed!"

"Logical but highly irrelivant...Cause look outside our ship on the ground and look below."

Starscream did seeing the carnage of NCIS agents, Hotaru whom at this point was still buried underneath rubble, and her pet Zeroara were in a heavy battle against a huge demonic Naga Succubus as well as white armored soldiers the same soldiers he had ordered fifteen executions of "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

"About five minutes ago" Shockwave told him "You were too busy talking to Knockout when it happened."

Starscreamed grinned "Then it's time to act! Time to catch some hostages to use them against the Autobots!"

He attempted to summon the remains of the Decepticons "Everyone else available to the bridge!"

Only one problem while he announced it there was a high frequency volume outburst that canceled out the command. Starscream tried again but couldn't get through "What the heck? Why can't my message get through?"

Shockwave knew the answer "We've got stowaways somewhere on our ship...And they had a jamming device."

"Can you do anything about it?!" Starscream snapped at him.

"The moment I've noticed this I've been trying and am about to."

Starscream turned to Soundwave whom was also trying to overcome the single "Soundwave! See whom we have on board would you and if possible bring them to the bridge!"

Silent as ever, Soundwave nodded then began walking off to complete the order. When Shockwave stopped him "Hold on there Soundwave."

Soundwave paused watching as Starscream turned towards Shockwave "You aren't in charge of military actions while Megatron is gone!"

"Logically I'm not qualified for that as that is your role currently" Shockwave said to him "Yet, this maybe what the intruders want. They want us to chase them without knowing where they are...However...They know that once their jamming device stops working our communciation systems will be operational...So with that said whoever is on our ship are playing smart. We have to do the same."

Starscream saw Shockwave's logic "Then what do you propose?!"

Shockwave answered "Come with me to the radar dish, and as you do so we'll see whom still remains. We are going to let the enemy come to the radar dish."

"Why would they go there?" Starscream demanded "Nothing is out there."

"Think logically for once Starscream" Shockwave demanded "They know their jamming device will run out of time restoring our communication systems. These enemies as I've said are smart and are playing a good game. Luckily mind games are my specialty. Listen to me and we can do two things at once that'll impress Lord Megaton as you undoubtingly will take all the credit for it."

"Oh alright what is your plan?!"

"Once more you, me, and whoever else we can get safely will meet where the radar dish is. If the enemy gets there and damages it our communcations system will be down for days or hours. If we set a trap there not only do we get the stowaways but we can then attempt to go down below to get all those humans to use as hostages..."

Starscream now saw Shockwave's plan "Oh good suggestion Shockwave, I'm glad I thought of it! Change of plans Soundwave stay on the bridge and be ready to call Lord Megatron once we've caught the stowaways."

Soundwave obeyed as both Starscream and Shockwave leave the bridge.

Ashley, Darnel and Windchaser were making quick progress. So far they haven't found the belt like object they were searching for. At this point Windchaser was beginning to think that Starscream orchestrated this event somehow. That meant he had the device. Sure most of the Decepticons were gone but that didn't mean Starscream was defenseless. Still they were making their way to the radar dish. They actually make it seeing it unguarded.

"This is almost too easy" Darnel noted.

Windchaser agreed "I know that most Decepticons are with Megatron battling Optimus Prime and the other Autobots. Yet even the ones that were left should've picked up by now. Anyway if we damage this thing we'll disrupt their communications for a long while. Be ready for anything...I smell a trap."

The three creep closer when Windchaser would be proven right for three Decepticons were guarding it from the way they were approaching. The three spotted them turning to enage them blasters ready to fire. Windchaser prepared to fight them when she caught sight of others coming. Soon the three were surrounded by about twenty other Decepticons just the amount that the Nemisis had left. The two more emerged and Windchaser knew them "Oh scrap."

Ashley and Darnel turned to see them with Starscream speaking up "Well, Well, well what do we have here, a lone Autobot with two humans for us to hold hostage? My plan was flawless!"

Windchaser shot that down immedaitely "Like you would've thought of it Starscream. You couldn't orchestrate such a trap, so I bet it was Mr. One eyed Cyclops over there that truly thought of it."

Starscream looked pissed off that Windchaser just insulted him although Shockwave was having the hardest time not to laugh at the comment at least to what Windchaser said about Starscream not being able to orchestrate this. Still Shockwave had to comment "Alas you'd be right Autobot, Starscream wouldn't have been able to think about this on his own. I must admit though you thought smart for once. Too bad I've out thought you...Plus, I know you're new so...Time to meet something you've haven't faced before..."

As he was saying this a robotic dragon appeared roaring.

"Oh boy" Ashley muttered "Now I wish Hotaru were with us."

"She's not though" Darnel said seeing a belt like object "You know Shockwave...We were searching for that belt like object."

Starscream smirked "Oh? This belt is precious to you all? Well glad I put it on the Predacon. Good luck getting it off and now time to capture you all!"

Windchaser turned to Ashley and Darnel "Alright time to fight back if we can."

Darnel agreed as he turned to Ashley "Ashley...Can you do anything about the twenty Decepticon soldiers?"

"I'll see what I can do" Ashley said thinking quickly.

Windchaser began firing at the Decepticon soldiers whom began open firing on her. Ashley and Darnel were near Windchaser's legs for protection while Ashley thought of something. She came up with something "Well I'm about to try to imimate Ziva!"

She started building up an electrical dischage sure this spell wouldn't be in the same league her teacher Evangeline would have unleashed but it was one she had attempted to master before meeting her "Let's try an Electric Wave!"

She unleashes an electrical wave that sent an electric current through the entire top of the ship. The electrical wave didn't to any damage to the Decepticon soldiers but it put the Decpeticon soldiers in statis. That's not the only thing that the wave continued towards. For it went right behind Ashley and towards the radar dish. Starscream notices what happened to his soldiers and shouts "OH-NO! Not a statis ability that an organic has!"

The eletrical wave strikes the radar dish completely disabling it just as the jamming device lost it's effect. Darnel commented "Perfect timing Ashley and great work! That would make Ziva proud!"

Ashley huffed angrily "Yeah well she would've done damage with her attack! Mine didn't!"

"You put them in statis and you disabled the radar device" Windchaser told her "That's an improvement."

"Now three more left" Darnel said looking at the dragon.

Starscream was already trying to sneak off seeing that this failed. That was until Ashley used the same spell on him and Shockwave putting them in statis. Only one that wasn't affected was the Predacon whom took the skies avoiding it.

Windchaser took over "Alright then leave it to me,"

Darnel had an idea "Windchaser...I have an idea. Transform into your vechile form and attempt to get close to it. I need to get onto it to reach that belt."

Windchaser understood as the Predacon breathes fire at her. She dove avoiding the attack then transformed "Come on!"

Darnel got in and once in Windchaser drove forward "Hope this works!"

Ashley called upon her magic to try to use ten magic arrows of ice on the Predacon but it burnt the arrows down with it's fire breathe. She avoided the attack. This did buy Windchaser time to act as she got towards the Predacon. She then while in her vechile form leaps at the Predacon. It notices her but too late as she transformed grabbing onto it's legs. In the process of doing so Darnel moved quickly to leap onto the Predacon's tail. The beast tries to fling him off by swinging it's tale back and forward. It tries to breathe fire at Windchaser whom punched up at it's face causing it to breathe fire up into the sky. It tries one more time to get Darnel off it but Darnel used it's momentium to propel himself onto the Predacon's back where the belt was. Insticts took over as he immediately grabbed it. Almost immediately he felt words come into his head as if the belt was calling to him. He looked to see Hotaru still trying to figure out a plan as Queen Venomica approached her prey. He leaps off and Windchaser caught him "Got it?"

"I sure do!"

Windchaser managed to avoid the beast transforming once again allowing the two to get inside her. Then the Autobot tore off then leaped off the warship with Ashley screaming her ears out in the process. Although the Predacon was in hot pursuit.

On the ground Hotaru had thought of a plan. She'd have to use her opponent's Shadow attack to her advantage but how? There was Double Team she could do but from what she could see this Shadow move couldn't be dodged which may mean it couldn't miss. She got an idea! Erdos seeing that Hotaru was underneatht he debries ordered "Salamance nail her with a Draco Meteor! Don't give her time to recover!"

Too late Hotaru thought mentally while breathing badly due to her internal injuries.

Salamance unleashed another Draco Meteor upon the debries. Kenshin watches as there was an explosion of dragon like energies. There was another dust storm as the debries continued to unfold. In the confusion no one saw Hotaru emege unscatched despite the burn status condition on her she managed to land a critical Dragon Claw to Shadow Salamance's face. It roared trying to strike her again but she flew out of the way. When the dust settled everyone saw Hotaru despite her condition managed to avoid any other injuries but Queen Venomica was on the ground cursing at Erdos "Nexxxt time you unleash Draccco Meteor...Make sssure I'm not near! You hit the wrong target!"

True to what the Rototrix told her she felt her health dropping from the burn condition. This time she didn't taunt instead she preformed a Double Team attack seemingly surrounding the Shadow Salamance. Both it and Erdos from the safety of Cipher's headquarters glance around searching for her as she now taunts him "Hey Erdos! Can you tell which is the real me?!"

Erdos fumed once again "SALAMANCE! GIVE HER ANOTHER TASTE OF SHADOW IMPACT! AND MAKE IT TOO BRUTAL FOR HER TO CONTINUE SO SHE BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS!"

Hotaru saw the darkness return around the Shadow Salamance and while she didn't exactly hear the rest of the order had a guess retorting "Nothing you can do Erdos can make me beg for my life! Us hero types don't beg for our lives."

"YEAH WELL NO USE DODGING THIS ATTACK IT'S UNAVOIDABLE!" Erdos shouted too enraged to care.

At this point Hotaru saw Windchaser plumeting down to the ground with Ashley and Darnel safely inside her. They were followed by a giant mechanical dragon. She smirked as this was how she'd pull this out! She lets the Shadow Salamance unleash it's attack which hit all of her fakes but upon hitting her though she flew towards the Predacon whom saw her coming at it. Then at the last second Shadow Salamance rams right into it at full speed so that instead of Hotaru taking the attack the Predacon did. Erdos soon realized his enraged mistake "Uh-no!"

Queen Venomica recovered glancing upward she too realized Erdos's latest error but killing Hotaru would take priorty so she didn't totally care about that mistake. Although it pointed out Hotaru was smart to pull that move off. She silently dug herself into the ground to ensure a successful bite on an unsuspecting Hotaru if and when she landed. Turns out the Predacon didn't like another dragon running into it like that. In it's anger it turned it's agression to Shadow Salamance breathing fire onto it. While Shadow Salamance resisted the blast the volume was a bit too much as it forced the Shadow Pokemon back. Hotaru took this opportunity to go underneath the Shadow Pokemon's body then just like Shadow Garchomp did she put her hands on it's stomach and spoke "You aren't the only one that can use Draco Meteor! Here's something I learned for Shadow Garchomp! Take my Draco Meteor!"

At point blank range she unleashed her attack. This came off of Flygon's Special attack so it wasn't impacted by her burn. Together with the Dragon Claws it took, the flame it took from the Predacon then with Hotaru's own Draco Meteor it was too much as it fell to the ground fainted.

Tony whistled "That experience with the Shadow Garchomp paid off."

Windchaser landed on the Predacon's back and she came to a stop using the Predacon's body as a cushion. Once safely landed Ashley and Darnel ran out with Darnel having the belt. Gibbs nodded the belt was recovered. Plus the Predacon now went unconsious itself not expecting Windchaser to fall on it's body like that. Hotaru flew towards the Shadow Pokemon and was about to land when the ground shook. Darnel took this time to once again listen to the words that were coming into his head then tapped on the belt "Emergency Henshin!"

Energy erupted from the belt as it soon transformed Darnel not into an Autobot but into a metallic armored knight like figure. By the time the transformation had ended Darnel's armor was white and black almost as if he was in form of a police officer with his shoulders glowing with red or blue police lights.

"So that's what that thing is supposed to do" Tony muttered to Agent Gibbs "How'd Darnel figure that out?"

Although Kenshin was disappointed in not being able to use that device he was glad Hotaru's friend Darnel managed to use it "Not sure how he knew how to use it but he did."

"And it looks like just like Hotaru with her Rototrix, it choose him" Gibbs said with a smile on his face as well at least now his training with Darnel on the weekends could pay off even better now.

Darnel saw the ground opening then Queen Venomica burst out. Hotaru heard the burst and turned to act but at that time it was almost too late as the Succubus Naga Queen nearly got her in the head with her venomous fangs without her having time to act. Luckily Darnel on the other hand managed to catch the Succubus Naga Queen's fangs in his metalic hands without injury. Then with super human strength he tossed her aside. She hisses "What the?!"

She eyed the figure "Who are thy?"

Darnel was unsure himself but quickly came up with an introduction "I'm Kamen Rider Enforcer and a friend to Hotarumon 14! Queen Venomica, your quarrel with Hotaru has taken a dramatic turn. I won't let you use a sneak attack on her like that! Go Hotarumon 14! I'll deal with her while you purify the Shadow Pokemon!"

Hotaru thanked him "Thanks Kamen Rider Enforcer!"

Queen Venomica hisses "Oh-no you don't Hotarumon 14!"

She attempted to strike Hotaru yet again but Kamen Rider Enforcer stood in her way with her angrily hissing "Out of the way tin can man!"

Kamen Rider Enforcer pointed towards her "If you want to get to Hotarumon 14 you have to get passed me first!"

"Fine then!" Queen Venomica shouted "Die!"

She unleashes her venom at the figure's face. Luckily for him the Kamen Rider had a helmet with a good visor that protected him from the venom "As Hotarumon 14 told me you fight dirty Queen Venomica...Yet lucky you...I've come prepared for that."

Queen Venomica lifts up her tail swatting it at him "Let'sss ssseee how you deal with thisss!"

Her tail almost struck him but he caught it "With pleasure!"

He lifts her up surprising her that now this figure had Super-human strength much like Hotarumon 14 "Uh-oh!"

Kamen Rider Enforcer then starts swinging her around making his opponent hit her face into the ground and other rock objects several times. Then after the fifth time he threw her back. She recovers hissing madly yet he was upon her tapping on his right shoulder the one where it's light was blue "Let's try something up...Time for a Deep Freeze!"

The moment he touched the light it then shouted it's name it sent out a blast of ice cold air at her causing her to hiss "AHHHHH! NOT ICCCE! I HATE ICCCE!"

She starts to freeze as Kamen Rider Enforcer took out his taser which was in form of a police gun as he ruhses towards her then he blasts her "Time to give you a charge!"

The taser gun sent out a ray of electrical energy shocking her as if it were a taser. Combined with the Deep Freeze attack he sent at her and this it was enough to weaken her. Then he came at her "Time for the finishing move! Enforcer Takedown!"

He charges her with built up speed then came at her with a flying kick. KABOOM! There was an explosion upon impact as the Succbus Naga Queen is sent flying onto her back defeated. This allowed Hotaru to find the Shadow Pokemon raising her Rototrix "Shadow Pokemon beaten...Awaiting Purififcation!"

"On it!"

The Rototrix went right to work asboring and purifying the Shadow Pokemon. Once it was done it announces "Shadow Pokemon purified!"

Hotaru nodded as she raced to join Kamen Rider Enforcer. She was soon joined by Ashley, all NCIS agents, Windchaser in her vechile form, and her pet Ziva. Queen Venomica was still lying beaten by Kamen Rider Enforcer then watches as Hotaru with her back up arrived surrounding her. The Succubus Naga Queen was hissing madly "That'sss two transssforming heroes we have to deal with. Fine...Enjoy your time foolsss! Cccipher and I will be back for more...Till nexxxt time...Everyone retreat!"

With that Cipher, Queen Venomica's subject and Queen Venomica herself left the area.

"Good plan Hotaru" Gibbs told Hotaru.

Hotaru nodded "Indeed. Now let's go back to the Autobot base...I suppose the Director is already there."

"He is" Gibbs confirmed.

Windchaser dialed up to contact Ratchet now tranforming into her robot form "Ratchet...We request a Ground Bridge back to base!"

Ratchet responded with "Was your mission a sucess?"

"It was!" Windchaser admitted "Item recovered successfully and the enemy of Hotarumon 14 has left. We need to come back to talk to Director Vance!"

"I'm on it! And you all should enter it quickly...Megatron retreated when he felt something was off about the diversion. So I doubt you want him getting any ideas of what truly happened."

"Good idea!" Hotaru said.

"And Hotarumon 14, you may want to come as yourself...We've got the other guests about to arrive. They'd might be here as soon as you arrive if you are catching my drift."

Hotaru nodded "Okay! I will do so."

Kamen Rider Enforcer looked at Hotaru's burns seeing her kneeling due to her injuries both internally and externally "Are you going to be fine?!"

"As long as I don't unleash an attack yeah" Hotaru answered.

A ground bridge appeared and the group walk in finding themselves right back in the Autobot base where all of the Autobots were around all in one piece. Director Vance was also there expecting them. He saw Hotaru emerge in her Flygon form, but a new metalic humanoid knight. Then the two were followed by the rest of his NCIS agents, Ashley, Hotaru's pet Ziva, and Windchaser herself. Once Hotaru sighted Director Vance even when in her badly weakened Flygon form she saluted the Director "Mission accomplished Director! We've recovered the device back!"

Director Vance watches looking at the group as three other humans walked in confused at what they were seeing "Congradulations Team Hotarumon 14! The US Government thanks you for recovering the device. However I see it has been activated."

Kamen Rider Enforcer spoke "Sorry, Director Vance sir. I can't explain this but something called out to me while we were looking for it on the Nemisis. It was like it was calling out to me to use it."

Typically the activation of the device would've made any US government offical upset but in the Director's case he wasn't upset. Instead he actually gave them all a smile "Special Agent Gibbs and I thought that this developing device the US Government was working on that needed ultimate secrecy sounded funny. After all why didn't they at least explain to me what it was supposed to do? Honestly, I'm suspecting now that whatever called you had reconized your pure good hearted intentions. In short you-Now who do you call yourself soldier?"

Kamen Rider Enforcer answered "Not sure what the US Government would've called me but I call myself Kamen Rider Enforcer! Director sir, I'll be happy to give this belt back to you so you can give it to the US Government where it rightfully belongs to."

"No need to now" Director Vance told him "Because much like Hotarumon 14's Rototrix has chosen her...That transformation belt item choose you as it's wielder. It's yours now Kamen Rider Enforcer! Use it to help Team Hotarumon 14 she may need it."

Inside Darnel was surprised at this development this was now a gift! Kamen Rider Enforcer saluted the Director "If you say it's mine now then thank you sir! I'll be sure to help Team Hotarumon 14."

The Director nodded as he addressed Hotaru and her team "First of all congradulations on a successful recovery mission. Hotarumon 14, the US Government owes you a debt of graditude for what you and your team did today. We've done a number to Cipher and the Decepticons have lost this device for good. I wish all of team Hotarumon 14 good luck in future battles with Cipher. May you all prevail in your mission one day. Company dismissed."

The Director walked Special Agent Gibbs and his team downward so he could get filled into what went down. Typical director of NCIS work. While this was going on Optimus Prime walked up to address Hotaru "Your plan was a success Hotarumon 14."

Hotaru was kneeling a bit pressing a hand to one of her burning shoulders and all her injuries "I say it did. Could've gone better if someone or something would've warned me about Shadow attacks!"

"Sorry Mistress!" Hotaru's Ziva called to her thinking that comment was meant for her.

"You're not to blame Ziva" Hotaru told her pet looking at her Rototrix which then replied "Hey, so I screwed up not informing you about Shadow attacks. I swear I won't withhold any other information from you!"

Optimus Prime addressed her "Once again you have demonstated that despite you being an organic that you have the courage of an Autobot to do what's right. If you need any other help from Autobots we'll help you in a matter of seconds. You have gained a new powerful ally next to Windchaser. Remember that you are a team and together you are strong. Divided you will fall. I look forward in seeing the Earth peaceful at last."

Hotaru smiled warmly "I look forward to that too Optimus Prime! No, it's not me that should only say that. Let me rephrase that, we look forward to that day too! Just keep on bashing the Decepticons mostly while Team Hotarumon 14 focuses on Cipher."

"Will do!" Opitmus replied.

With this said Ratchet summons another Ground Bridge that would take Team Hotarumon 14, the NCIS agents back to Manassas Virginia. Hotaru with Kamen Rider Enforcer were about to leave when a girl with mostly black hair with a bit of pink towards the front wanted to speak "Wait...Who are you two? Are you two fighting for the Autobots or."

"Sorry miss" Both Hotaru and Kamen Rider Enforcer told the girl "But we have little time for questions.

The girl blinked as Hotaru explained herself "We've just came off a brutal victory...Well at least for me it was brutal. While we know the Autobots and part of my team is an Autobot in Windchaser we don't exactly fight for the Autobots only when requested or asked to. Our fight is with true evil villains similar to MECH but in some instances alot worse. So that's why we have little time to answer questions. We have to get back to Manassas Virgina."

With that said NCIS, and Team Hotarumon 14 walk into the Ground Bridge disappearing to go back to Virgina. The girl blinked turning to Optimus as the Ground Bridge vanished "Can we meet that dragon girl and Kamen Rider Enforcer Optimus? Plus is she a-"

Optimus answered her question "First of all Miko no. I wouldn't recommended using another Ground Bridge to meet Team Hotarumon 14. Her foes won't hestiate to use you to their advantage. That's not what she wants and it's not what I'd like to see ether even though she would come to save you. Second of all...Hotarumon 14 is whom you'd call a Superheroine."

"A real Superheroine?!" a short brown haired boy with glasses asked "I mean Bumblebee and I read superhero comics but she's a real superheroine?"

"Indeed she is Rath" Optimus told him.

"Can you tell us her name?!" Miko asked.

Rath explained "I can answer that and while Optimus knows...He's sworn by secrecy not to tell anyone her true name. It's a superhero thing here Miko...Since she's a true Superhero her identity shouldn't be known to the public now."

Miko understood as another boy a taller boy with black hair emerged "Rath's right Miko."

Miko sighed "Ahh...I was looking forward to other humans to join Team Prime."

"My only question is why Windchaser is tagging along with them" Rath asked Optimus.

Optimus Prime answered "Two days ago when Agent Fowler's Intel spotted a girl in danger of a Decepticon attack it appeared his Intel was a bit off for once. In the end we had Windchaser watch over her but even though they attacked her...She was well equipped to deal with the threats. Because of Hotarumon 14 having a foe that will hunt her down I deemed it neccarry to have Windchaser watch over her that way. It was the only option left as her presense may endanger you more than it grants protection."

"Besides as she's proven today" Ratchet told the three "She was recruited by that NCIS director to recover that device the Decepticons stole."

"Why didn't you help if the Decepticons did that?" all three humans asked.

"Because Cipher wanted the device too" Optimus answered for Ratchet "And Cipher is more of a terrorist threat than MECH is. So that is her enemy she deals with daily making her the canditate that Director thought was best for the job. In the end he was right. He informed her of what went on during the night before then she went right to work."

Once in NCIS headquarters Hotaru had returned back to normal feeling better now that her injuries were gone. It was always better like that. She watches as Kamen Rider Enforcer turned back into Darnel. Ashley was quite happy at this development, they pulled off something amazing. Everyone had some pathway of helping Hotaru now. Hotaru turned to Darnel " That device you got Darnel is going to help us out big time."

"Agreed" Agent Gibbs said as he overheard this he looked at Darnel "Which means Darnel that your training with me is more important now than ever. Sure you got that device the Government was making but without training to complete it you may fail in helping Miss. Hatsumi out."

Darnel agreed with Gibbs "Of course Agent Gibbs sir."

Gibbs turned "Tomorrow after your game or practice come to my house Darnel, we'll need to extend your training. I know I gave you the basics last time but you need far more than that. With what you can now become you're gonna need it...Oh and Ziva?"

"Yes boss?" NCIS Ziva asked.

Gibbs answered "You weren't the one I was addressing towards but with you here I may have an idea. Hotaru's Ziva!"

The Zeroara turned her head towards Gibbs "Yes, Agent Gibbs sir?"

"Would you mind if your mistress also came tomorrow?"
"I wouldn't mind" the Zeraora said.

Gibbs turned to both Zivas "Good cause I plan on teaching both him and your mistress tomorrow. Both of you two I'll need with me. You'll be their training opponents tomorrow."

Hearing this Tony pailed as he muttered to Kenshin "Your daughter's good as dead! You told me your daughter's pet beat her once already."

"True she did" Kenshin told Tony with a smirk on his face "Yet you forgotten that I also mentioned she almost did beat her own pet in that battle so it wasn't totally one sided. I feel more for poor Darnel. Poor boy won't know what hit him with our Ziva as a possible sparing partner."

"Point taken" Tony said recalling their Ziva actually beating him in a one-on-one sparing session earlier this week.

"We'll be there" both Zivas told Gibbs.

"Good" Gibbs said turning to Darnel and Hotaru "Sound okay for you two?!"

"Certainly!" both said.

"Can Windchaser and I come too?" Ashley asked "You know just to watch? We're a part of team Hotarumon 14!"

"Certainly" Gibbs told her "Do you want to face off against them too?"

Ashley gulped recalling the memories of how Evangeline's teaching methods crushed her but nodded "I'm a member of Team Hotarumon 14. I need training too."

"Then it's agreed" Gibbs told the team "Meet me tomorrow at my house after school. Tell Windchaser when you get to her to be on the lookout for any Decepticons."

"Will do!" was the response.

With that said Ashley, Darnel, Hotaru, and Hotaru's pet Zeraora head out to get into Windchaser whom would take them back home. Tony walked over to his boss speaking out "I don't know boss, pairing up our Ziva with Hotaru's pet Ziva might be too much for those three."

Kenshin shook his head "Knowing my daughter, she'll welcome the lesson. It doesn't matter if she fails to defeat her pet Ziva or not as long as she's learned something valube in that combat training. I'm sure Darnel will feel the same way as well as Ashley will. I approve of this."

The three men watch the retreating figures.

End of Episode, I know this was a long episode but I refuse to make it a four parter! Anyway we got to see how Hotaru with Darnel's help can plan things out. Darnel also got a Kamen Rider form that will certainly help Hotaru out. Next Episode: Episode 40: Team Hotarumon 14 Team Hotarumon 14 is put to the ultimate test as they battle a Demon that can petrify them as well as a Shadow Pokemon, Windchaser's Decepticon Rival, and of course Queen Venomica whom is out for revenge. Can team Hotarumon 14 prevail or will the villains prevail?
