Chapter 20: Terrorist Plot P3

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, Ashleyand Queen Venomica. I also don't own NCIS

Once more, Hotaru was in a messy situation. With almost no time to recover at least the time Ashley had hoped to gain with her distraction idea, Hotaru was in a messy bind. She was currently laying flat on her stomach watching as Queen Venomica was coming closer and closer to her lethal fangs drawn for the fatal bite. Hotaru knew that the bite most likely was gonna be fatal even with the Rototrix trying to remove the venom. As Ashley watched nervously as Palmer got off her and extended his hand "Are you okay Ashley?"

"I will be" Ashley said watching as Queen Venomica was closing in on her friend "But Hotaru won't be if Queen Venomica succeeds in biting her."

"She's venomous?" Palmer asked Ashley.

"Very venomous!" Ashley said recalling Hotaru's fights with Queen Venominca "Just one bite can nearly bring Hotaru down and that's when Hotaru is at full strength with no injuries..."

Palmer sweats nervously understanding Ashley's comment "Great...Sense Hotaru is injured badly one bite..."

"Most likely is fatal to Hotaru now" Ashley told him "Not saying it wasn't before but at full strength her Rototrix could fight off the venom...But with so many other injuries I'm unsure if it can focus on the venom alone...Even it has trouble removing the venom from Hotaru when she's perfectly healthy."

Hotaru's father Kenshin overhears this gritting his teeth thinking Just what we need...A Venomous Succubus Naga demon queen… he looks at his daughter watching her trying to get up to avoid the fangs If she was at full strength she'd fight the venom off...But sense she's weakened and injured...One bite is fatal for sure.

Just as Queen Venomica was merely milimeters of striking Hotaru down, Hotaru's ribbons wrap around the fangs narrowly escaping the bite and holding the fangs at bay. At her full strength Hotaru would have been able to even withstand the full force of Queen Venomica's lunge, but in her weakened state the force of the blow moved Hotaru backwards a bit more as Hotaru knew she wouldn't be winning the battle when it came to strength.

Kenshin her father sighs with relief Hotaru managed to save herself from the bite but he knew that Venomica would try again but to his dismay he watches as Queen Venomica smirks and wrapped her tail around Hotaru causing Hotaru to grunt "Nuts!"

"Oh yesss" Queen Venomica smirked at Hotaru wrapping her coils around Hotaru "Time to die!"

Hotaru now felt her predator squeezing her life out.

Gibbs and Kenshin knew what Queen Venomica's second plot was constricting her victim. The two tried to get her attention firing at her with their guns. The Succubus Naga Queen seemed imperialous to any harm as she yawned "Are you two quite done? You're weapons have no affect on me whatsoever...It's over Mr. Hatsumi, you lost your daughter!"

As the Succubus Naga Queen was taunting Hotaru's father and Gibbs she doesn't seem to see Ashley building up her magic until she shouts "OH YEAH? WELL HOW ABOUT THIS?!"

Without a single thought Ashley unleashes a powerful Thunder Attack which strikes Venominca shocking her and doing damage to her. It wasn't much but the damage was enough for Venomica to glare at the blond girl "I'll have you for sssecccondsss for that hit!"

Hotaru grunts now having a bit of time to retalate against the coils and just as she was when she went Absol for the first time she bites into the coil that was closest to her mouth. So hard this caused Queen Venomica to gasp "SHE BIT ME AGAIN!"

Hotaru weakly managed to move her hands and feet, extend her claws and claw at the coils until her predator let her go or rather threw her out of coils. Hotaru manages to land on all fours glaring weakly "I maybe weak but I'm not gonna die that easily! Thanks for the save Ashley!"

Ashley nodded "Don't thank me just yet! It's gonna take more than a bite and few slashes to stop her."

"SSShe's right!" Queen Venomica hissed.

Hotaru manages to get onto her two feet "Again, I might be injured but until I do die, you aren't gonna get me!"

Queen Venominca hisses "That's gonna be easily...Jussst one bite and you'll die!"

She lunges at Hotaru again with Hotaru still not well gritting her teeth "If you can deliver that bite sure….But I don't intend to take a bite!"

Kenshin watches his daughter amazed she was remaining calm under this stressful situation where if she made one wrong move she was dead and there was nothing he could do to save her from being devoured. In the inside he was quite glad his daughter wasn't going down without a fight, just like her Japanese inheritence would do as well.

Hotaru watches Queen Venominca close in on her weakly "I dodged it once, I could do it again?"

The ground beneath Hotaru's feet shook and Hotaru grunts "Oh-no!"

Then there was an eruption of exploding ground as something shot straight up striking Hotaru from underneath her legs, Ashley watches as Hotaru was sent upwards injured yet again "HOTARU!"

*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

Hotaru had been injured slightly yet again as she was sent flying she grunts turning to see what had hit her and it was the Shadow Garchomp "Nuts!"

It tried to grab her legs but she managed even in a weakened state to avoid the long claws from grabbing her legs but found herself in an even worse position as it had grabbed her arms holding her in place. Queen Venominca smirked "Good call Garchomp hold her!"

Hotaru's brain was working overtime at hearing this as the Garchomp firmly held her arms in a way that made it impossible for her to overpower it's grip in her weakened state. At full strength she noticed she would be able to break free just for being a Fairy Type against a Dragon Type. As she is searching for her movesets she sets onto one move Draining Kiss, a special Fairy Type Move that after damage healed the user. This might be the make it or break it move, get a bit of healing in and hope it was enough to move and try to fight better. She watches as Queen Venominca closes in deadly close to her with her venomous bite. Hotaru flails her legs kicking and trying to use her momentim to break free of this. Draining Kiss would do nothing if venom was in her system and she knew it. She could feel her heart pumping as Queen Venomica closed in on her. Finally she manages to flail about and actually despite her condition managed to slash Venomica's face with the claws in her feet this gave her the boost she needed to use her legs again to somehow wrap around the Garchomp's head and toss him into the Succubus Naga Queen.

Kenshin her father sighed with relief as Hotaru was freed from her grip but still in no condition maintain a long drawn out battle. He could see it in his daughter's eyes that she knew she had to try to wrap this up quick.

"Get off me" Queen Venominca hissed at the Shadow Garchomp which obeyed her "Then whip up a Sandstorm!"

Hotaru heard this and lowered her Sylveon ears in a bit of fear "That won't be cool!"

"Not on your end!" Queen Venominca smirks out.

The Shadow Garchomp lets out a powerful burst of sand creating a sandstorm.

"This must have been the attack that Hotaru, Tony and Ziva went through!" Kenshin told Gibbs.

Gibbs nodded "With this much sand...Hotaru's in more trouble now!"

Ashley grits her teeth "And...Hotaru will take repeated damage from the sand as long as the sand is up!"

Hotaru was forced to cover her eyes and mouth with her ribbons making them pratically useless to protect herself if she needed to use it. She tries to see where Queen Venomica was but the Succbus Naga Queen seemed to have vanished as did Garchomp. Hotaru tries to sense where her predator and foe then felt a shadow emerge from her back just as the ground beneath her feet was about to give way. Gathering the strength in her legs, she managed to jump, back flip onto the Garchomp's back then wrapped her arms around it's head. Queen Venomicna shot up fangs ready for a fatal bite on what she thought where Hotaru was standing. Instead she missed hissing "Where did ssshe go?!"

She flicks her snake tonuge detecting Hotaru on Garchomp's back "THERE SSSHE ISSS!"

The Garchomp growls feeling Hotaru's arms on it's back and Hotaru decided to try to use her Draining Kiss. Gathering in her fairy type energies she unleashes a kiss which drained the Shadow Garchomp's energies.

"She kissed...A Dragon?" Palmer asked.

Ashley saw it "That's no ordinary kiss! That has to be the Fairy Type Move, Draining Kiss! According to Darnel when he told us about it...That move can heal the user but only half on the ammount of damage it inflicted on the opponent...She's hoping to heal herself from her earlier battle as a Flygon and sense Fairy Types are good against Dragon Types...It's a move she hopes can help her! Smart move Hotaru!"

Garchomp roars out in pain and anger feeling it's energy drain and throws her off it's back with a mighty jab to her neck. Hotaru grunted as she is flung off it's back neck nearly broken but she lands on all fours feeling a bit healed up but not in the area she was hoping for. She was still injured but she could make due with the amount of health she just gained for a little while longer.

While this was going on Tony and Ziva were being pushed back towards the room Hotaru was being held into heal. Despite their best efforts which was working the terrorist and Cipher forces were pulling ahead full on knowing Queen Venominca had found her prey. It was only a matter of time. Outside Erdos had arrived viewing the fight between Hotaru, the Shadow Garchomp and Queen Venomica, even he knew Hotaru couldn't last long but grew frustrated that she healed herself a bit with Draining Kiss. If she used Calm Mind this move could work in her favor. He couldn't have that happen. He checks his Shadow Pokemon collection "I will have to mix things up, she knows she has a high advantage over Garchomp so I have to use a Poison or a Steel type..."

He scanned the Shadow Pokemon Cipher still had "And just as Loveria had told us there are very little Steel Types...But there was Poison Types..."

He smirked selecting one and sending it out "you there...Go help Queen Venominca, I'll even give you Safety Goggles to prevent the sand storm from harming you, now go!"

Now he'd only have to wait and he smirked it wouldn't be long now.

Abbey was being driven in a car by McGee with Darnel inside it. Almost immediately the three felt as if something was wrong. The terrorist group Cipher was around didn't seem to fire upon them at seeing a Abbey in disguise of Hotaru. Then there was another problem, Queen Venomica should have been chasing them and they should have seen signs of her, but didn't. Darnel was quickly putting things together but both Abbey and McGee were beating him too it.

"Mcgee..." Abbey said "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"That Queen Venomica didn't fall for our plan? Yes"

Darnel began to worry for Hotaru "Darn it, Ashley's plan would have done the job on anyone else...But..." he then got it "Nuts...She forgot to expect Queen Venominca being able to smell her out."

Abbey gasped "Oh that's right, snake tonuges! Snakes hardly rely on sight much to hunt so they use their scene of smell! So while I may have looked like Hotaru..."

"Queen Venominca's snake tonuge picked up that you were an imposter so she went after the real one."

"Hotaru!" Darnel grunted "That's not gonna give her ANYTIME to recover!"

"We gotta turn this car around!" Abbey said firmly "We can't let our new teammember whom is Hotaru's father down!"

"Agreed" McGee said.

Suddenly just as they were about to turn around two to four of Queen Venomica's subjects blocked their path on the front with two others at the rear.

"She outthought us!" Abbey gasped.

McGee looked at Queen Venomica's subjects "Darnel...Are her subjects venomous like their queen?"

"It's best to assume so" Darnel said "Although probably not as lethal as their Queen's but still very potent."

"You said that as if Hotaru has been bit by Queen Venomica before" Abbey muttered.

"She has...Almost every time they've fought she's always or most of the time always got the buisness end of Queen Venomica's mouth."

Abbey studied the fangs of the nearest Queen Venomica's soldier it seemed huge "I wouldn't want to get bit by those."

"Queen Venomica's are bigger" Darnel told her "According to Hotaru whom claims their basilisk size."

"I can believe that" McGee admitted "Sharp and deadly."

"We need to get out of here and help the others" Abbey said.

Darnel was thinking "Normal human weapons can't harm them...So what can we do?"

McGee studied the area "Hold on you two I have an idea. We just need them to fall for a trap. They aren't as smart as their queen so perhaps we can use their agressiveness to our advantage."

"I'm listening" Abbey told him.

"So am I" Darnel said.

"First we gotta get to a safe area and hide this car. Darnel, there should be some dummies in the trunk."

Darnel checked "There are."

Abbey was confused "What's the plan McGee?"

McGee steps on the gas causing the car to drive faster towards the soldiers at the front "Hold on Abbey and Darnel! I'm gonna get us to a safe area, once we get to the area we need to get out fast. They maybe Demons but they have the body of a snake which are Cold Blooded meaning if we can get them to a cold area they'll have to stop moving or if we can freeze them."

"We don't have anything available that can do that at the moment" Abbey said "Unless you plan to blow this car up with a freeze bomb."

"That's the plan Abbey" McGee told her.

Abbey studied the area as amazingly McGee was able to bypass the soldiers in front of them. The soldiers started firing explosive venom blasts at the car. McGee swerved in and out of them just in time.

"We need to get them to chase us" McGee told Darnel "Anyway they could?"

Darnel shrugged "Got me if they don't chase us now but I'm sure if they see something from Abbey maybe."

Abbey sighed "I'll stick my feet out the window maybe that'll give them some spirt to chase us if they aren't."

She removes her shoes and socks unrolled the window and stuck them out of the car "Come and get me ugly snakes!"

This did it seeing the barefeet of the girl they were supposed to capture for their Queen and being called ugly urged the soldiers to chase the car. Every so often Abbey would retreat her feet inside as a few blasts nearly got the car. As they were being chased Abbey was setting up a freeze bomb one that wouldn't destroy the car but one that would freeze Venomica's subjects allowing them to return to help NCIS and Hotaru.

McGee pulls the car into an abandoned parklinglot and turned to Darnel and Abbey "This is as far as I can take us...Are they still after us?

A blast nearly got the car again as Abbey answered with her own question "That explosion give you that answer McGee?"

She held a romoto control that would detonate the bomb "We should get out of here and to someplace safe to hide behind."

The trio took Abbey's words to good use as they ran behind the cover of a few trees then waited. They poked their heads out every now and then to see that Queen Venomica's forces were exploding onto the scene hissing madly at the chase. They saw the car stopped and slithered quickly towards it surrounding it's doors. One of the least experienced soldiers opened it despite it's commander warning not too. It would be a big mistake for watching them was Abbey whom clearly was in plain view watching them and she let them know it despite the trees McGee and Darnel were hiding behind. She gave out a chuckle "oh boys? Looking for me?"

The soldiers of Queen Venomica turned towards the Goth girl whom now was back into her normal outfit footwear included. The six hiss then Abbey spoke "Well you're queen out thought us but we outthought you."

She smiled pressing a button. There was a tiny siren going off causing all of Queen Venomica's subjects to be looking inside the car with the commander going "THERE'SSS A BOMB!"

KABOOM! There was an explosion of nothing but liquid Nitrogen as the bomb erupted it's freezing message. Queen Venomica's subjects were then frozen solid.

Abbey turned to McGee and Darnel "Time to get back to NCIS!"

"right away!"

The three left towards NCIS leaving Queen Venomica's subjects completely frozen with the commander hissing at the newest soldier telling him how this was all his fault.

Back at NCIS, Hotaru was doing all she could to keep up with her attackers. It wasn't easy with herself still injured but somehow thanks to Draining Kiss, she was able to heal herself it wasn't fully but it was some health she could use. She barely dodged a grab from Queen Venomica then nearly got an Shadow version of Garchomp's Iron Head to the back. The only reason why it didn't land was that she had used a ribbon to catch it's head. She attempted to pick it up and hurl it preparing to use it's own weight against it when due to her injuries before it simply fell onto her nearly crushing her in an instant.

"HOTARU!" Ashley and Kenshin call out to her.

Hotaru grunts pinned by the weight of her enemy muttering "Stupid...Injuries..."

Queen Venomica grinned advancing on her "Time to die!"

She lunges herself at the pinned Hotaru as Hotaru manages to gather the strenght to pick the Garchomp up and even while injured this time managed to hurl it onto the Succubus Naga Queen taking both down yet again. The moment she did that however she is immediately on all fours coughing up blood. While she is down she doesn't see another Shadow Pokemon coming up from behind her despite her Rototrix picking the second one up and the moment she manages to get onto her two feet she felt something sharp like a knife piericing through her chest causing her to scream in agony feeling poison seep into her body. Kenshin gasped seeing his daughter with a frog fist which was glowing purple sticking out of her daughter's chest which was now bleeding badly "HOTARU! NOOOOO!"

Commercial Break

Back to Show

Hotaru was gasping for breathe stunned while looking at the frog like fist that was sticking out of her now bleeding chest. She saw that the fist was glowing purple and she knew this purple was poison. She eyes what the fist was attatched to as she seems to lean over as the damage was severe stumbling forward weakly she saw it was some sort of giant poison dart frog. Then before she could react the Shadow Pokemon kicked her in the butt sending her flying and landing onto her back not getting up.

"Hotaru!" Ashley called to her running to her.

Kenshin was already doing the same checking his daughter's injuries out, a whole in the chest could be a fatal wound. Hotaru still was in major pain as the two got to her. Ashley avoided Venomica's tail hands glowing having to heal Hotaru a bit. Hotaru was about to speak when Ashley beat it for her glaring at the Frog Pokemon "You call that fair?! Whatever you are! Sneaking up behind her and jabbing your fist into her while she's already injured."

Hotaru's Rototrix answered the unasked Question "Toxicrok! A Poison and Fighting Type Pokemon! The evolved form of Crogunk!"

Kenshin could tell his daughter was poisoned by the way she acted with rapid breathing as she fought to get back up "Stay down sweetie! You're badly injured again."

"I can't back down father..." Hotaru grunts wanting to back down but she knew this would give Venomica time to finish her off "Not with Queen Venomica still here."

Kenshin spoke "Sweetie! You're poisoned and have a hole in your chest! Those are fatal wounds!"

"He's not wrong Hotaru" Ducky admitted "That's the deadly combo"

Hotaru ignores them standing on her two feet "I'm gonna be killed anyway if I can't beat these three! Better to go down fighting trying to save the rest of you."

Kenshin her father was amazed that his daughter had one thing he had his reflection on saving others regardless of her own life. He watches Hotaru stand up straight bleeding and her breathe weakening as she now saw three enemies. The Shadow Garchomp, Queen Venomica and now Shadow Toxicrok. She had to think of something to beat these three and knew she couldn't take another would be lethal hit. Ashley then remembered something turning to Hotaru's father Kenshin "Although...Hotaru's injuries are worse now. There's a chance her other wounds won't be on her if she beats them and forces them to retreat."

Kenshin blinked looking at Ashley "What do you mean?"

Ashley answered him "Mr. Hatsumi, Hotaru's transformations are just that transformations, even though they are Hotaru the injuries she gains in the transformations are normally dealt with in the transformed forms if she wins and reverts back normally her injuries will be back to where they were when she arrived her after her encounter with the Garchomp..."

"And if she loses Ashley?" Gibbs inquired.

"Then her injuries will pile on" Ashley answered "And most likely for real be fatal. So she has to win this."

"What about the Poison though?" Kenshin asked Ashley.

"It will go away as well" Ashley said "As long as Hotaru goes back to normal on her free will."

"Although Queen Venomica's Venom will be a different story" Ducky reminded Ashley.

Ashley grunts agreeing "Yeah...She's now in range where it's certain one venomous bite from Queen Venomica will most certainly be fatal..."

As this is speaking Gibbs got a message from Abbey on his phone telling him to turn on the air conditioning till it froze. This caused the Special Agent to smile knowing what this was about. Queen Venomica was a mighty Demon but she was also part snake. He smirked tapping onto Kenshin's shoulder telling him in a low voice that Venomica couldn't overhear "We have a way to save your daughter after all, in a way she saves us from these Shadow Pokemon and we can save her if Ashley's explanation is right. Kenshin looked at his boss wondering what this was about but he jumped at the motion to save his daughter's life. Ashley's explanation gave him hope that Hotaru can live.

"Right boss" he said.

Gibbs turned to Hotaru asking her "Think you can hold them off for sometime?"

Hotaru looked at the Special Agent "In my current condition I can hold them off but not as long as I'd like to be able to sir. Maybe one to five minutes at best-"

"Or worse if she gets bitten!" Ashley added on.

Gibbs turned to Kenshin "Then we got to act."

He also gave Ducky a look which the kind doctor understood at once, it was the look that told him he was gonna have to get Hotaru and Venomica out of the room and into a freezer. Sure NCIS didn't have one but that didn't mean they had a secret area in NCIS headquarters in hiding just in case of this. Ducky gave Gibbs a nod knowing that they had to start up the building to get it to get it in action and that required the amount of time Hotaru had to fight against her enemies.

"Ashley!" Gibbs told her "Come with us we'll need you."

Ashley was hestiant but Hotaru eyes her "Go with them! I'd rather not see you get eaten by Venomica!"

Ashley saw how heroic Hotaru was being despite her injuries feeling very much in love with Hotaru "Alright."

"Trying to essscccape?" Queen Venomica asked the three "Well you won't!"

She attempted to attack the three but Hotaru hurled herself at the tail, managing to weakly wrap her ribbons around the tail stopping it. Queen Venomica hisses "You want more?!"

Hotaru grunts weakly "Maybe...But the fact remains this, I'M THE ONE YOU WANT THE MOST! And I maybe injured but I won't let you HARM MY FRIENDS AND MY DADDY! THE ONLY LIFE YOU'LL CLAIM MIGHT BE MINE! IF YOU CAN DO IT WITH TWO SHADOW POKEMON!"

"Heroiccc to the end I sssee" Venomica smirks She grabbed Hotaru's head with one hand giggling at Hotaru's weakened kicks and punches then she too extended her demonic finger nails into Hotaru's head causing Hotaru to scream in pain before the Succubus naga Queen starts tossing Hotaru around like a ragdoll slamming her into the wall repeatably.

With each painful slam with any of her parts hitting the walls from her front or backside Hotaru grunts in pain feeling her blood seep from her head and she could've sworn her brain was impailed before Queen Venomica stopped throwing Hotaru for a second toying with her prey that now seemed to stick to her claws smirking "Oh how I wanted to break you for so long Hotarumon 14!"

She held onto Hotaru's head one last time trying to crush it, Hotaru tries to resist before her opponent smirks and tossed her one last time towards the very back of the room "Now hit her good and hard you two Shadow Pokemon!"

Hotaru could've sworn Garchomp went invisible due to the Sandstorm or it could've been underground awaiting. She saw Shadow Toxicrok coming at her yet again aiming a Gunk Shot at her in mid-air. Hotaru times it right though gathering the strength in her battered body, just in time for the Shadow Garchomp to come straight up trying to strike her a fatal blow. Hotaru grunts in pain and managed to avoid the two attacks all together and causing Shadow Toxicrok's attack to hit Garchomp. It roared angrily at Toxicrok even if the attack didn't do much to it. Hotaru once again landed on Garchomp but this time on it's shoulder. It glared at her as Hotaru sat on it's shoulder regaining her strength gasping for breathe muttering to herself "Venomica almost tore my head off in that rampage...And she impailed my brain! I have to survive this but how?"

She recalled Double Team knowing she had to buy her father and Gibbs time to set up "This maybe or may not be a good idea but, here goes nothing."

She timed it right seeing Shadow Toxicrok coming at her again with another Poison Jab. This time she was ready despite being poisoned she leaps off the Shadow Garchomp's back seemingly to blend into the sandstorm. Despite this Queen Venomica was able to see her "Oh Hotarumon 14...Ccclever girl to survive thisss long but the battle is over!"

Hotaru was silent waiting in the sand taking some damage from it. She focused in her energies and preformed a Double Team using it in a way that a certain blond knuckle headed ninja would smile at.

Queen Venomica didn't seem to figure this out seeing multiple Hotaru's coming at them "Toxicrok, jump into the sky, Garchomp use Earthquake with mine!"

Toxicrok jumped into the sky while both Queen Venomica and Garchomp sent an earth shattering Earthquake out at the Hotarus. Almost immeidately the Hotaru's all disappeared and just as the Shadow Toxicrok landed Queen Venomica hisses "Thossse were all fakes?!"

Before all could react there was a bright Fairy like gleem as Hotaru unleashed her Dazzeling Gleam attack at them. The attack washes over all three of Hotaru's foes like a massive tsunami wave sending all three onto their backs gravely injuring the Shadow Garchomp. This also stopped the sand storm with Hotaru standing on her two feet bravely still badly injured. She even knelt onto her knees feeling the poison damage stack up once more.

"Impossible she got all three of us?!" Queen Venomica asked.

Hotaru smiled "My Double Team was just a diversion allowing me to set up two Calm Minds in the process then unleashed Dazzeling Gleam!"

As Hotaru is speaking the Shadow Toxicrok was upon her and seemed to jab out at her with another Poison Jab aiming it at her head. The attack connected and Hotaru puffs out of exsitance"

"That was a clone of her too?!" Venomica asked

She then saw that in it's place was what appeared to be a small doll of Hotaru as Hotaru managed to somehow sneak a Subtitute up.

Queen Venomica hisses annoyed at this "PLAYING NINJA WON'T SAVE YOU HOTARUMON 14!"

The real Hotaru was somehow in the ceiling peering down from an air vent she had safely retreated into and she knelled in pain. Ducky and Palmer had managed to help her into it during that whole battle to further more cause confusion amongst Hotaru's three attackers. She then watched as her blood from her chest wound fell out of the air vent and into the room below. Queen Venomica notices this almost immediately looking upward and locked eye contact into Hotaru's eyes "Up there are you?"

Hotaru grunts knowing her scheme had been foiled. Queen Venomica nodded towards the Shadow Garchomp and Shadow Toxicrok "Dessstroy the ccceiling!"

The two Shadow Pokemon raised their arms jabbing out of the ceiling. Hotaru only watches in pain as this was going on hoping she was buying enough time for Gibbs, her father and Ashley to get away.

In NCIS, Gibbs, Kenshin, and Ashley joined Tony and Ziva fighting against Cipher and the terrorist forces. The Terrorists were still scared of Gibbs and why shouldn't they be when the legendary marine just expertly shot them in their heads as he met them. Ziva turned to Gibbs as the NCIS agents and Ashley raced to the newest building with Tony explaining "Boss, I don't understand why we are heading there."

"We're saving Agent Hatsumi's daughter Dinzo" Gibbs said "While she's buying time for us. Question is do you remember what Queen Venomica is?"

"Well she's a Succubus" Ziva answered " a female demon."

"True" Gibbs said in a matter of fact voice "But she's also a snake and what are snakes considered?"

Tony answered "Why they are considered reptiles boss...And-"

He then got it "We're freezing her?"

Gibbs smirked and Tony now understood "We're using her Cold blooded feature against her. Snakes or many reptiles won't move when it's too cold."

"Plus that Garchomp if I heard Hotaru's Rototrix correctly is Dragon." Ziva admitted

"Ground and Dragon" Ashley corrected Ziva.

The terrorists and Cipher agents try to fire but the group fights back agressively only leaving Miror B and the Terrorist leader as well as ten others alive which were now stopping their charge even Miror B was having second thoughts. The agents and Ashley get to the area and start it.

Kenshin hoped onto the roof ready to bring his daughter out of it once she ran inside it persuded by her enemies. He wasn't about to freeze his own daughter. Gibbs was at his side to help him while Ziva, Dinzo open the freezer's door while Ashley was at the side of it using her magic to inject it with even more freezing cold temperatures. Agent Mcgee arrived with Abbey and Darnel to help with the fire fight.

"Hotaru on her way?" Darnel asked Ashley whom replied "Let's hope she is!"

Gibbs called Ducky on his phone.

In Ducky's morg, Ducky heard the phone going off just as the ceiling Hotaru was sitting in gave way and Hotaru fell straight down. She manages to avoid Toxicrok's Poison Jab which was aimed at her stomach and avoided Shadow Garchomp's arms. She lands on all fours and then it happened yet again. Hotaru screamed in pain "NOT AGAIN! WHY THE BUTT?!"

Queen Venomica's latest bite had once more gotten Hotaru on her butt. Hotaru grunts now having poison and venom in her system. She claws at her attacker's face weakly. Queen Venomica grinned taking the slashes "It won't be long now!"

In her hurry to get free not wanting to be coiled Hotaru's claws on her feet scratch Queen venomica's eyes so hard they bled causing her to scream. Hotaru broke free running out of the room. Queen Venomica hisses "AFTER HER!"

Hotaru ran feeling the effects of the venom and poison a deadly combiation of lethal compounds breaking her body down. She felt her nerves rapidly shutting down muttering "Don't shut down completely...Don't shut down completely...You do...I'm dead..."

As she is running she wasn't sure where to go but she did see terrorist and Cipher bodies laying dead or knocked out and she had her three attackers chasing her. Honestly Hotaru felt as if she were on an episode of Scooby-Doo, being chased by her attackers. She ran as fast as her body could take her in their condition losing the battle rapidly. As she rounds the bend she was too busy looking behind herself that she didn't see the Terrorist Leader and Miror B whom saw her well Miror B saw here "Agent Hatsumi's daughter is approaching!"

The Terrorist leader turned seeing Hotaru run persuded by her attackers and he pulled out his gun aiming it at Hotaru's head. All Hotaru heard next was a "Pow!" as a gunshot was fired. Ziva whom was the cloest heard the gun shot and saw that Hotaru was shot in her head "NOOO!"

Or what Ziva thought was Hotaru's head. Turns out at the last second Hotaru's ribbons even when slow to act due to her injuries managed to deflect the bullet right back at the terrorist leader's own head. The terrorist leader only had time to look in amazement as the bullet pierces his own brain killing him instantly. Ziva's shout got the attention of the others as Hotaru raced towards them. Cipher Soldiers whom fired at her, the terrorist soldiers stop firing and lost hope with their leader dead. In her haste to get free Hotaru races towards them jumping and using their faces as trampolens to get to safety with her three attackers coming right behind her. The rest of Cipher and Terrorist forces fall unconsious with Miror B falling last telling Hotaru "Get off my head!"

Hotaru was more then willing to do so and she jumped off him slashing his face "AH, NOT THE FACE! THIS IS WHY I HATE CATS!"

As he is laying on the ground recovering from the slash, he is litterally trambled over by Queen Venomica, Shadow Garchomp and Shadow Toxicrok. When it was over Miror B raised his hand and spoke losing his consiousness "Where did that truck come from?!"

Hotaru ran towards the room and stumbled Ziva caught her "Ziva?!" Hotaru weakly asked.

Ziva saw Queen Venomica, the Shadow Garchomp, and the Shadow Toxicrok closing in "You're almost there! I'll help you!"

She eyes Tony "Tony, McGee a little help!"

The two men rush forward with McGee grabbing onto Hotaru's second arm. Tony took out his gun trying to buy the two time to get into the open door "Freeze!"

He pointed the gun at Queen Venomica whom growls and whipped aside with her tail cracking a few of his ribs in the process "Out of my way idiot!"

Tony grunts hitting a wall "Defintely a Demon..."

Ziva and McGee were close with Tony giving off a warning "Ziva...McGee watch out behind you two!"

The two NCIS agents turn seeing Queen Venomica charging right after them with the Shadow Garchomp and Shadow Toxicrok with her. Hotaru's legs weren't moving at this point a clear sign the venom had done it's work and Hotaru's breathe was next. Hotaru felt as if she was truly dying but she fought onward hoping for the best. Summoning up her strength she managed to gain the energy needed to run into the opened door. Ziva and McGee were struck by Shadow Garchomp and Shadow Toxicrok sending them to the sides of the door but Hotaru had ran inside the freezer. She stumbled once more onto the floor of it feeling it cold. Then she got the plan as she turned weakly towards the door of the freezer room. She saw Queen Venomica and the two Shadow Pokemon closing in on her smirking "Thisss is the end of the road Hotarumon 14...And you're near death now I can sense it."

Hotaru eyes them weakly "Yesss...I'm near death...so come here and finish me off!"

Queen Venomica slithers closer as the two Shadow Pokemon stood at both of her sides "I'll finisssh her off you two...Just stand guard so she doesssn't run away and be ready to grab her if she doesss."

The Succubus Naga Queen slithered closer to her prey and then the doors close "WHAT?!" she demanded.

Then there was the sound of the freezer going off with Ashley casting her ice blizzard spell from the outside. The Shadow Garchomp gave out a roar as it was frozen solid immediately as was the Shadow Toxicrok which took a bit longer to freeze. Queen Venomica hisses "If I am frozen then you'll die Hotarumon 14!"

Hotaru climbed to her feet towards the ceiling which she saw an opening and leaps for it. Kenshin her father opened the top followed by Gibbs the two men grabbed Hotaru and pulled her to safety quickly leaving the Succubus Naga Queen to hiss angrily "DARN IT!"

Hotaru hugged her father "Daddy!"

"Oh sweetie!" Kenshin told his daughter glad she was still alive but from the sounds of it she was losing the battle and Gibbs saw why "Darn it...She's been bitten!"

Hotaru grunts weakly "We should get off this roof...Venomica's about to explode."

The two men take her warning and no sooner than they did so did the freezer explode due to Queen Venomica's sheer demonic hatred and rage that Hotaru had gotten away but by then the damage was done and the three were frozen solid.

"Well done Hotaurmon 14" a voice sounded.

The men turned to see Erdos in his helicopter peering down at them.

Hotaru weakly glared at him "Erdos…"

Erdos saw the NCIS Agents all pull out their guns aiming it at him. He held up his hands "Well done indeed Hotarumon 14 you live to see another day. Thanks to this room. I'll admit defeat this time but you aren't going to purify the Shadow Pokemon. You're too weak to do that."

He presses a button and a vortex takes himself, Miror B, the two Shadow Pokemon and Queen Venomica back to Cipher headquarters to think on their next plan. Hotaru grunts wishing she had freed those two Shadow Pokemon knowing they would be back. Still this was a victory for her, a costly victory that is. Now she would have time to recover. Kenshin held her close to him seeing her eyes close "Hotaru, sweetie, don't die on me now."

Hotaru heard his voice and manages to safely return back to normal. Where Ashley's words were true Hotaru's injuries were back to normal, with no sign of the poison running in her system, and the other injuries she had were no existant except for the ones she suffered from her first battle against Garchomp. The venom however was still in her system but the Rototrix had immediately managed to give her an anti-venom saving her life.

Kenshin looks at his daughter amazed she survived and lived.

"Hotaru, sweetie" He told her.

Hotaru eyes him "I wasn't able to purify those Shadow Pokemon."

"You'll get your chance sweetie" Kenshin told her.

Hotaru eyes him "Daddy?"

He eyes her seriously "I know I told you that once you transformed that would be your last battle but you proved yourself today to me that you can look after yourself and you don't fight to just save yourself but for others. I will allow you to continue doing this thing as you are the only one that can stop Cipher...But do me a favor sweetie"

"Anything!"

"You won't be battling them until you are better sweetie, back to Ducky to see how long he wants you to stay in bed resting."

"Of course"

"It should only be four hours" Ashley guessed.

Hotaru, her father, her friends and all of NCIS get back to Ducky's morg now that this was over.
