Episode 25: Training with Dragons P2

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, Ashley and Queen Venomica.

Hotaru was in her Flygon form fighting alongside her cousin Jake whom was in his own Dragon form. They were facing up against ninjas, Cipher soldiers, Queen Venomica herself and both Reshiram and Zekrom. It wasn't an ideal situation Hotaru would've liked to be fighting her foes but considering Queen Venomica abducted her girlfriend Ashley, this forced Hotaru's hand. Jake was calm about it as he scanned the scene back pressed against Hotaru's. He turned to her "Remember all we gotta do is get Ashley and then get out of here as quick as we can."

Hotaru agreed "It's not the ideal situation I'd like to face any of my foes in. This is a lot to take in...But we've gotta get Ashley and I'm not leaving without her!"

"That's the spirit!" Jake said encouragingly "Now let's get to work!"

Hotaru nodded gathering in her courage "Let's!"

The female ninja and the bulky male ninja come at Jake while Venomica slithers her way towards Hotaru whom flew in and out of bullets from Cipher soldiers. Once close to them Hotaru spins around and manages to lash out a sweeping kick tripping them. A ninja came up behind Hotaru's backside hoping to take Hotaru by surprise with a mallet in his hand. Hotaru wasn't a complete fool, and used her tail as a third hand and deliver a punch to his face not only dazing him but stunning him. Long enough for her to wrap her tail around him and toss him onto Queen Venomica's face taking both of them down. Queen Venomica hisses giving out an order "Zekrom, Fusssion Bolt!"

The bulky male ninja gives his own order "Reshiram...Fusion Flare!"

Hotaru heard this order and correctly sensed that she was the target of the two attacks. She watches as both dragons built up their corresponding attacks and charged her from both sides. She had no way in avoiding it so she lets the attacks happen striking her in a massive explosion of electricity and fire. Jake watches in alarm watching this "Cousin Hotaru!"

Ashley had a feeling Hotaru wouldn't be that hurt as she manages to tell Jake "Hotaru will be fine."

"How?!" he asked Ashley "She just took a fire and electrical attack on both ends!"

As the fire and electricity show ended, Ashley was proven right Hotaru was fine! Other than Hotaru literally feeling like the stuffing of a sandwich as she was squished between the chests of the two legendary Dragons.

Queen Venomica smirks seeing Hotaru squished like a bug "Finish her! Ussse Dragon Pulssse or Dragon Claw in close range!"

Hotaru thought fast, sure she was squished but she saw her two opponent's building up dragonic energies one in the mouth and one in it's claw. She timed it right, managed to wrap her legs around Reshiram's head pulling it downward as it was the dragon that was using Dragon Pulse causing it to blast Zekrom instead. This caused Zekrom to cringe in pain and deliver it's Dragon Claw to Reshiram . Both legendary dragons go down and Hotaru manages to use her legs to throw right back onto Zekrom. She then lands at Jake's side once more whom was impressed on how Hotaru was only damaged slightly and it was apparent that only the Fusion Flare attack did anything to her "How'd you take only the Fusion Flare's damage?"

Hotaru answered "My Pokemon Forms in the Rototrix have weaknesses, resistances or immunities. While as Flygon due to it being part Ground Type, I'm immune to Electric attacks and resist fire type attacks."

"That's great! Wish I had that but you don't sound like you are excited."

Hotaru answered him "Cause even though I may resist or be immune to their secondary typing attacks, I'm vulnerable still to their Dragon Type attacks and if I take too much damage it'll cause Flygon to faint and I'll be unable to use it for the rest of the day."

"And be badly injured in the process" Ashley muttered.

Both Zekrom and Reshiram manage to get up, face both Hotaru and Jake once more. Queen Venomica recovered as well glaring "We ssstill have numbersss!"

"Maybe!" Jake said with a grin on his face as he took down a ninja "But we've came for one person and we're gonna get her!"

Queen Venomica points at Hotaru whom dodged more gun blasts "You aren't gonna win thisss one!"

Hotaru had enough dodging blasts and flew straight into the air and warns Jake "Jake, stay in the air!"

"Right...Why?"

"Cause I'm gonna land and trigger an Earthquake!"

"You can do that?!" Jake asked amazed.

"Sure can and will!" Hotaru shouts.

Once high in the air she aimed a kick as she dove to the ground at extreme speeds.

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.

Queen Venomica watches understanding Hotaru's plan with the ninjas and Cipher soldiers all looking at each other dumbfounded, how could they stop this attack? If it connected both Zekrom and Resheraim would take heavy damage. Queen Venomica hisses as she pushes Cipher Soldiers and ninja out of her way "OUT OF MY WAY IDIOTSSS!"

She slithers quickly to underneath Hotaru's landing spot, braces herself and waits for Hotaru to land the blow. Hotaru was decending too fast to react to what she knew Queen Venomica had planned. The Succubus Naga Queen intended to take the Earthquake attack and bite Hotaru or coil her in return. Hotaru knew this was gonna happen but she was too fast into her decent to stop herself to avoid the outcome. All she could do was continue on the attack a SMASH! Just as she was about to collide with the ground to trigger the Earthquake attack that would've done serious damage to Reshiram and Zekrom, Hotaru smashes into the Succubus Naga Queen's body. Amazingly the manever worked well as even though Hotaru was able to unleash an Earthquake the tremor was weakened as Queen Venomica absorbed the attack with her body then she goes for a bite. Hotaru tries to fly out quickly but at that close range, and at high speeds of a striking serpent, Queen Venomcia's fangs puncture through both of Hotaru's legs causing Hotaru to grunt in pain and kneel as Queen Venomica's venom coursed through her body "Nuts!" Hotaru muttered feeling the venom take effect quickly with both of her legs bleeding from giant holes Venomica's Basilisk like fangs got her in "She got me."

Queen Venomica hissed at Hotaru smirking "Looksss like you weren't expecting me to absssorb your Earthquake attack. Now's the fun part for me!"

The Succubus Naga Queen prepares to coil Hotaru to squeeze the life out of her but Hotaru spreads her wings and avoids being coiled at the last second before landing safely out of Venomica's reach but she immediately kneels.

"What's going on?" Jake asked seeing Hotaru kneeling.

Ashley managed to answer "Queen Venomica's venomous! She bit Hotaru in her legs and the Succubus Naga Queen's venom is coursing through Hotaru's body pretty soon it'll shut down her nervous system killing her that way!"

"Ah, man!" Jake muttered "How long do we have before the venom shuts her down for good?"

"That's the least of my worry" Hotaru said to him huffing "The Rototrix can resolve the venom but it'll take a while."

Queen Venomica smirks "Now Zekrom and Reshiram give them the one-two Double Dragon attack!"

"What does she mean by that Hotaru?" Jake asked.

Hotaru shrugged "Not sure but I'm sure we aren't going to like it!"

The two Legendary Dragon Shadow Pokemon came into action swooping down and collide with each other sending a massive wave of dragon energies at the two heroes.

The wave strikes them unprepared doing massive damage to Hotaru while Jake did take some damage but wasn't badly hurt well compared to Hotaru. With the heroes reeling in pain the result of the blast sent the two back slamming hard on their backs. For a while it seemed as if the two weren't moving. Then Jake raised one dragon hand "You were right cousin...We didn't like it...Are you okay?"

Hotaru didn't answer for a while, but eventually she opened her eyes in big major pain as her whole body was aching and she was badly coughing up blood even bleeding from her nose "Define okay Jake...I'm alive if okay means that but not sure how much more Flygon can take from that attack"

Jake looks at his cousin trying to regain her breathe and strength the venom still taking effect " Try to relax and let your Rototrix find that Anti-Venom. In the meantime I'll distract them."

Before Hotaru could protest or say otherwise Jake charges his two Legendary Dragon Shadow Pokemon, and foes bravely. He took down several ninja and Cipher Soldiers with one swing of his tail. He breathes fire out striking another Cipher soldier down. Slashes two ninja. Jump kicked the female ninja and bulky male ninja. Then as he came at Venomica whom spat venom at him he avoids it by spinning around creating a whirlwind around him that sent the venom Venomica spat harmlessly to the side then like a drill he slams into her taking her by surprise but other than taking her by surprise it was all it did as he had done very little damage. She attempted to bite him but this is what he wanted as he caught her fangs "You ain't gonna bite me!"

He held onto the fangs sensing Reshiram and Zekrom were sneaking up on his back. Surprisingly he was able to lift Venomica off the ground, then timed it right, spun her around catching more of Cipher soliders and ninjas off guard then at the last swing he hurled the Succubus Naga Queen onto the two legendary Dragon Shadow Pokemon taking them down.

Hotaru was amazed Jake was able to hold their combine enemies off that way. Clearly whatever training he undergone with his grandfather was paying off. He turned seeing Queen Venomica get up "Had enough?"

Queen Venomica smirks "Amazing work boy! But it's gonna take more than redirection work to stop me and the two Shadow Pokemon. Let's see you deal with this, Zekrom Fusssion Bolt, Resheraim...Fusssion Flare!"

Jake watches as the two Shadow Pokemon come at him from both of his right and left flanks. Reshiram created it's fire technique while Zekrom created it's electric tecnqiue. Then the two Legendary Shadow Dragons shot towards him like an arrow with so high speeds he wasn't able to avoid the two attacks and got sandwiched like Hotaru had done.

Hotaru watches this as the Rototrix was able to remove the venom that was in her body as she took to the skies to help her cousin. Gathering in her strength she calls to the Rototrix "Rotorix...Give me the power to use this attack on both of our enemies!"

"Powering up!" The Rototrix said.

Hotaru flew into the sky with all villains now remembering Hotaru was still alive. Even Venomica whom had been slightly distracted by Jake's attempt to what she thought was defeating them now had to look up in awe as Hotaru gathered in dragonic energies and unleashed her Draco Meteor attack! Meteors fell upon the battlefield striking all villains while creating massive explosions. In the chaos that unfolded, Jake was able to free himself. Hotaru took the confusion and chaos to actually go to Ashley and after sharpening her claws managed to cut the chains off. Jake arrived to help as both cousins grabbed onto Ashley then they flew out of the building joined by Jake's grandfather and his talking dog.

"You did well you two!" The dog said "Well at least in the end...Not sure about in the beginning."

Hotaru nods as Jake looks back at the building "How long do you think that attack of yours will keep doing the chaos?"

"Long enough to get Ashley to her home safe and sound" Hotaru said "That way we can beginning training."

Jake agreed as the two took Ashley to her home safe and sound. Hotaru and Jake even had changed back to normal and Ashley hugged Hotaru "Sorry for getting kidnapped again. Those ninja jumped me."

"Not your fault" Hotaru said "Now be safe, I'll hopefully see you soon."

Ashley nods "Right."

Once safe in private, Jake's grandfather turned to Hotaru "Perhaps we can begin by detailing what exactly is going on here."

Hotaru agreed explaining the situation with Cipher then how Queen Venomica came to be Cipher's ally. She told both her cousin and his grandfather about how she got the Rototrix, to what it does when activated in grave detail. She even told them about her defeats and how she ends up getting injured if ever beaten and she was looking for any help to help her improve on her combat abilities.

Jake was doing a double take looking at Hotaru's Rotorix "Man, cousin you got one heck of a device. One capable of turning you into a Pokemon...Although not completely as you can recognize a human girl in it."

"A naked one at that" Hotaru said blushing red.

Jake's grandfather saw Hotaru's eyes were deterimined to stop Cipher and in a way it was the same determination he taught Jake about when combating those ninja. The old man nods "Although my training is primarily useful for learning the ways of a dragon, in your case it should help you out as well. What you are missing when you are transforming is to act like that creature you've become. For example when you became Flygon which is a dragon you also must react like a dragon. Now what form may I say do you like the most?"

Hotaru answered reaching for her Rototrix "Why it's this!"

She turned it to Sylveon and slaps it down white light shown around Hotaru's body as she lost her clothes, White fur, sprouts pink hair with Sylveon's pink ears filled with a blue color inside the ears, she gain all of Sylveon's ribbons with two wrapping around her head with a bowtie attaching to her head, the ribbons are blue and pink at the end, she also gains another two ribbons attached in a bowtie around her neck, grows a pink Sylveon tail, along with pink hands and pink feet. When the transformation ended Hotaru was "Sylveon!"

Jake blushes red "Gee, what type is that?!"

Jake's grandfather somehow new "Why it's what we dragons are destined to protect Jake. We're supposed be protecting all magical creatures. Now think what magical creature gives off a mystical feel to it."

Jake counts down "Let's see there's leprechauns, gargoyles, unicorns even, Griffons...Heck even fairy, but what magical being is Hotaru's Sylveon form?"

Jake's grandfather was about to answer but Hotaru beats him to it "Fairy!"

"What you're a fairy?!" Jake asked looking at her "No offense but you don't look like a fairy! Although you look cute as heck."

"Oh I'm a fairy Jake" Hotaru ensured him turning the Rototrix "Come on Rototrix back me u!"

The Rototrix obeyed Sylveon the Interwining Pokemon, the Fairy type Evolution of Eevee, it will unflinchingly charge Dragon type Pokemon even those that are much bigger than itself.

"Okay, that device said your a fairy type but...HOW COME SYLVEON CHARGE DRAGONS?!"

Hotaru shrugged "I don't speak Pokemon. All I know as Sylveon I'm immune to Dragon attacks."

Jake frowns "That would've so saved us back there from being blasted by that joint combo attack!"

"I know!" Hotaru told him "But I happen to know Zekrom has Iron Head a steel type move, when I fought Cipher alone yesterday in an attempt to ambush them which failed miserably, I'm weak to Steel type moves! And it burst open my chest! Ashley can tell you and so can Darnel I nearly was killed because of that! I wasn't going to risk taking an Iron Head to the chest again. Mark my words having your chest ripped open like that hurts!"

Jake's grandfather heard this turning "Hotaru, I can certainly help train your combative skills, not only as your favorite form but as Flygon. Trust me, after my training you won't ever lose a battle as Flygon ever again...At least once you've mastered the training."

"I'm listening!" Hotaru said.

Jake's grandfather turned to Jake "Jake can help in between lessons. Sense your in Virginia, we'll have to set up a lesson date. Like Saturdays and Sundays for example."

Hotaru reluctantly agreed as she wanted this training if it would help her out in the end "Sure."
Jake's grandfather nods "Good, now we'll begin training, but first, Hotaru I want you to show me Sylveon's skills, spar against your cousin Jake."

"Ah grandpa do we really have to?" Jake asked "After all it's wrong to harm girls!"

"With that attitude it'll allow any girl to win against you" Hotaru warned him flexing her ribbons sort of excited to show off her skills as a Sylveon, she looked forward to this training. Sure having an unbeatable Flygon form was good but if she could adapt it into her Sylveon form she could make Sylveon one of the hardest to beat as well.

Jake looks at Hotaru "Hey now! It's the truth."

Jake's grandfather agreed with Hotaru "Jake, just because Hotaru is a girl doesn't mean you shouldn't fight her in a spar. In fact I want you to go at her with one hundred percent of your abilities...And Hotaru...I don't want you to hold back ether, give him one hundred percent of your abilities as Sylveon."

"Sure thing!" Hotaru said excitably "Plus once in a form I can't change to another."

Jake's grandfather nods "Good to know."

Jake stared deep into his cousin "You sure about this cousin?"

"Oh I am" Hotaru told him "I need the training so come at me."

"Alright! Don't say I didn't warn you that I'm about to knock you out!" Jake said.

Hotaru just stood her ground looking at him a smile was on her face as she had the feeling she'd easily beat her cousin in a spar just due to being a Fairy type. As she was smiling she then frowned what if Jake had something up his sleeves like some sort of Steel or Poison type move just like Zekrom?

The two cousins circled each other both daring each other to make the first move with Hotaru being the most cautious. Jake sees an opening and charges in. Hotaru flexes her ribbons as he came closer towards her once more then just as he nearly gave her a punch to her face she lashes out a ribbon wrapping it around his claw stopping his punch then her second ribbon wrapped around his legs and he came crashing down onto his back. Once down she uses her ribbon to toss Jake aside like a ragdoll as he goes flying and crashing into a tree head first. He grunts a bit stunned by how effective Hotaru's ribbons were at keeping him at bay.

"Those ribbons are going to give Jake a headache" the dog said to Jake's grandfather.

"Indeed they are" Jake's grandfather admitted "But, this'll make this spar Jake's having with Hotaru even more amazing once he figures out a way around her ribbons."

Jake rubbed the back of his head looking at Hotaru now believing the ribbons had a mind of their own "Okay Jake, those ribbons aren't just for decoration, clearly they are there for defense or offense so I have to think of a way to deal with them."

He thinks on what his grandfather said to Hotaru before the spar in that the difference right now was that she had no idea to interact with what her Pokemon form truly was about. Sure she was a fairy type but she knew nothing about what it meant to be a fairy or how to act like one. He thought of a plan pressing his hands together "Alright cousin you might be able to use your ribbons for defense, but do you know how to do this?"

He focused in his kii and formed multiple clones of him which surrounded his cousin. Hotaru blinks a bit confused as she looked for the real Jake, to her this was like an opponent using double team.

"That's more how I like it!" Jake taunts his cousin then he and his clones all come at Hotaru from all sides "Now let's get her boys!"

At first Hotaru's first response to her opponent flinging clones at her was to use her ribbons to grab them and swat them aside. In fact, that's exactly what she was doing, her natural instinct was to use her ribbons to defend herself. She was doing well at first but eventually she was tiring out. Then it happened one of the clones grabbed her from behind pinning her arms and legs to her side. She gave out a gasp trying to free herself as her ribbons tried to help her get unpinned but two more clones grabbed her ribbons one a peace.

"Gotcha!" Jake said triumphantly "Now to end this spar!"

He and two more clones gathered fire not only in their mouths but from their hands and unleashed them at her.

Hotaru was indeed pinned and unable to move as she was forced to let the attack come at her. Closing her eyes not in defeat Hotaru needed a way out of this or else she'd be fried. Then a single thought came to her head and a tiny smirk was crept on her face, she'd let the attack fry her as she concentrated her energies and managed to somehow use Substitute, right in the nick of time. The fire slams into her just as a poof of smoke appeared. When it settled Jake gasps thinking he had disintegrated his cousin on impact as she wasn't there anymore, not even a shadow, the only thing that was in place were tiny hands and feet.

"Maybe I overdid it" Jake muttered.

Little did he know that Hotaru had used this chaos to her advantage and sneak up on his back. Like a stealthy predator on a hunt she had used Substitute to prevent any damage, the fact that her substitute broke on impact told her Jake's dragon fire might've been from a dragon but treated like the Pokemon move Flamethrower and that would've normally harmed her as Sylveon normally. As she sneaks up on Jake's unprotected back or so she thought. Jake then sensed her out and turned backwards, this meant that she wasn't able to pin his arms and legs with her ribbons, but she gathered in energies and fired a point blank Moonblast which sent him flying and landing next to his grandfather stunned "How'd did she survive my attack?"

The old man answered his grandson "She's clearly thinking well, the thought process is working at least. She must've used a Pokemon move of some kind to form that decoy that you thought was her, and she tried to sneak up on you to pin you then fire a Moonblast but when your Eye of the Dragon spotted her and alerted you to where she was she had to improvise."

Jake gets back up not beaten yet but so far he now understood why his grandfather wanted the two to spar, it was to see how well their skills were so far, and so far Hotaru was matching Jake's brawn. He proceeded to make more clones as in the process of when he thought he had disintegrated his cousin he had called them off "Now I'm not gonna pull them back, now you'll have to deal with this!"

Hotaru smirks having now known about this now had a perfect solution as she gave out a purr "Suit yourself Jake,"
Jake and his clones charged her from all sides but Hotaru then began singing sharply sending out multiple waves of sound. Jake and his clones immediately brought their hands to their ears as they flew right into the waves. Immediately once the waves hit them the clones disappeared and the real Jake was clutching his ears still in deep pain "WHAT WAS THAT COUSIN?!"

"Disarming Voice" Hotaru answered "A move that hits one hundred percent of the time and multiple opponents."

Jake still was clutching his ears "I was gonna say you normally sing beautifully but that was horrible. And why didn't you use that before?"

Hotaru answered "Cause your clone technique caught me off guard. I believe the saying is, fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you."

Jake's grandfather also cut in "Precisely Jake, against any other opponent your cloning ability would've set them back but when an opponent knows about it and that you use it a second time in the same fight he or she will develop counter measures to it."

Jake's grandfather turned to Hotaru as he nodded to his grandson "Spar is over for now, the real training begins."

Hotaru and Jake stand at attention to listen to the old man with Jake still trying to stop the ringing from Hotaru's Disarming Voice attack which was still loud. He could still hear that particular sound, clearly he saw why it was called Disarming Voice.

Queen Venomica had recovered as had the rest of Cipher and the ninjas. The two Shadow Pokemon had also recovered. When she had recovered as she recovered first she hissed madly seeing not only Hotaru, and Jake gone but Ashley as well. She banged her fist angerily hissing "DARN IT! SSSHE GOT AWAY!"

She looks at the Cipher Soldiers and ninja that were still there "Our biggessst ccchancccce ever to defeat those two and they get away!"

"That maybe so" Erdos said "But we still got the two Shadow Pokemon.

"True there...But now killing thossse two won't be ssso easssily done."
"Not unless we regroup and attack" The bulky male ninja said "With our forces attacking one at a time to make it not as apparent as a trap."

Queen Venomica heard the man out and nodded "That could work."

Erdos put a hand underneath his chin "Our best bet is for Cipher to attack first...To drive Hotaru out of hiding."

"Why is it that she needs to come out first?" the female ninja asked.

Even the big bulky male ninja was at a loss for answers as they didn't like Jake.

Queen Venomica answered "All you ninja worry about is a Dragon boy fighting against you and your cccrusssade against magical cccreaturesss. Hotarumon 14 compared to your Jake Long you fight maybe a rookie compared to him in his experience, but mark my wordsss. Ssshe'll undoubtably become a better heroine than her cccousssin. She's the bigger threat. Jake couldn't harm Reshiram or Zekrom. And to make mattersss evne more worssse...And it was thanksss to me that didn't happen but SSSHE COULD'VE defeated Zekrom and Reshiram right then and right at that moment as she was going to deliver her earthquake move."

"So that's why you took that blow" the female ninja said.

"Exaccctly!" Venomica said "I knew Hotarumon 14 planned to use Earthquake to deal damage to both Rerhsarm and Zekrom had I not blocked her path when I did, she might've been able to score two knock outs with one blow."

"Why was this Earthquake attack such a problem to mighty legendary dragons?" the bulky male ninja inquired.

Erdos answered for Venomica "Because true Reshiram and Zekrom are Dragon Types but...Reshiram has a secondary type, Fire. Zekrom has a secondary type too Electric, both of those types are weak to Ground type moves which makes Earthquake a very big problem to them they would've taken more damage than you can anticipate."

"Plus it was in a very closed space" the female ninja points out "An Earthquake would've most likely flattened the building too, not only damaging those Shadow Pokemon, but allowing the hero and heroine to escape with the captive quicker. I'm starting to see Queen Venomica's point."

The big male ninja saw things that way too now realizing that Hotaru had to go down first or be drawn out first but he turned "I now see it that way too. But suppose Jake is with her when you make the attack?"

Venomica smirks evilly "Trussst me...I'm relying that he does. Kill two birdsss with one stone."

"Shall we go after that Ashley girl again?" the female ninja asked.

"No" Venomica said "Assshley won't be caught off guard again. Ashley will be with Hotaru tomorrow asss well as her friend Darnel."

"Two witnesses?" the big male ninja inquired.

"Call it two allies of Hotarumon 14" Erdos told him "They have joined Hotaru to help her on her adventure to defeat Cipher."

"So how do we set this fight up?" the girl ninja asked.

Queen Venomica answered "Jussst leave that to me and Erdosss. We'll set up a convincing trap. Then you and your forces can help us by giving them the pincer movement."

"Come up from their backs when they least expect it" The big male ninja said with a smirk "Perfect!"

Queen Venomica turned to Erdos and Cipher "Then let's not wassste time! Let's start as soon as posssible...I want Hotaru's flesh by tonight!"

Erdos nods "Alright then."

He turned to the ninjas "We'll see you later, but don't wait too long."

"We won't" The two ninjas remarked.

Erdos and Queen Venomica leave to begin their latest plot.
