It was already late afternoon when a black car driven by two agents was heading from Krakow to Katowice driving along the national road, and the rain that had been heavy and scorching not so long ago, along with the parting clouds in the sky, was slowly starting to disappear, leaving behind only water stains and memories of that day, and that day, as it turned out, was to be remembered very much by the two agents, and it was not about the clash with Lombax, the acquired knowledge and the fact that Mandulin wants to obtain an unknown source of power to challenge the galaxy of war, oh no, that was not the object of the greatest reflection and irritation of the Agent driving the car today, the black Agent M, in a black suit, was holding the steering wheel tightly and her brown eyes were focused only on the road and what she had already done, and what was ahead of her, and it was her friend who would find a way to mock, but surprisingly, so far he did not take advantage of how she reacted to the kiss given to him by Nest.
Agent H, sitting next to him in a black suit with a white shirt and tie, of course felt quite funny about all this because he caught his friend doing something that was problematic for her today, he saw her reactions and at the very beginning it amused him a lot, now it was already curiosity and a very big one, so the black-haired agent looked at his friend with those big blue eyes showing his confident and seductive smile.
- so, M, tell me what was really going on, don't tell me that you're jealous after all, after all Nest did it out of spite, I don't know if it was for herself or me, or maybe you, anyway the fact is important, we know that Mandulin is behind all this. Agent H said waving his eyebrows at his lovely friend and she rolled her eyes and pressed harder on the gas pedal crossing the intersection when it was supposed to turn on the yellow light.
- M, I don't know if it's safe, you almost drove through a yellow light, that's not how it's done, but wait, so there's something to it. H asked, but M again rattled her teeth and grumbled something and now looking around the road at the empty fields, fields and small houses she continued driving the car taking in her silence but on the other hand she knew that silence was consent to her friend's words and finally grumbled in a rather dry voice.
- come on H, you're a bit irresponsible here, I don't know if you were luckier in all this, as they say in Poland, luck is usually foolish, so. She said M spitefully.
- but you're spiteful, so I guess I hit a sore spot, but, oh well. H said, but when he suddenly saw an angry girl staring at him who was biting her lip and not looking at the street Agent H nodded and looked to the right at the houses of a small town located between Krakow and Katowice.
- okay, okay, that was off topic, but the most important thing is what we know today, Mandulin is looking for a Pokemon, that one, Absol, but we still have too many unknowns, whether this creature is really supposed to lead him to an unknown source of power, and if so, what or who sent it here, there is so little of that. Said Agent H, and when he looked at his friend, he saw Agent M's hands holding the steering wheel relax a bit, which meant that jumping to another topic resulted in loosening the current atmosphere.
- that's exactly where you're right, how did Absol get into our world, how, it still worries me, but when I think about it, about who could have done it, my female intuition tells me nothing, it's like that case on that estate, you know, Nikiszowiec, and that strange Film Critic, the one with gray hair, I don't understand all this, it's so strange and my intuition tells me nothing on the subject. She said Agent M with great thought about the current matter and what could have brought Pokemon, or more specifically Absol, to Earth.
There were many unknowns, many myths and one recorded recording, how an unknown ray of destruction hit many of the Azathoth and destroyed them, this is the only legacy of this unknown and magnificent race that transformed itself and became the spawn of the cosmos but only for a moment, currently M was debating who this mysterious conqueror could be and is, whether it is someone who is considered a god in many cultures, or something more, it was impossible to be sure, but these questions suddenly disappeared when Agent H accidentally asked Agent M about her intuitions and of course Nest.
- just out of curiosity what do you think awaits us, what will Nest do, what next. Asked H until his eyebrows quivered slightly, because Agent M clenched her hands tightly on the steering wheel and did not pay attention even to the emerging outlines of Katowice with its large chimneys and the Steelworks located nearby.
- and you again about this, I'll tell you, this woman will bring only problems to you, to all of us, you'll see. She said Agent M with clenched teeth.
- and I think it won't be bad, because I also have my intuition, and I know that when the right time comes she will repay us again. Said confident H.
M looked at her friend, her to tightly clench Siena's left lip until the sound of the phone stopped her anger, Agent M picked up the phone and answered, Mrs. O, yes, we're coming back from Krakow in half an hour we'll be in the saucer, yes, I mean, yes we have important information Man, and I understand in the base, yes I know we can be bugged, in half an hour. Said M and put the phone in her pocket, M looked at her friend again and stepped harder on the gas pedal.
Less than twenty minutes later, a black car was just turning into Spodek Katowicki, heading towards the underground parking lot, a few moments later, after the camouflaged ramp closed, the two agents landed in a luminous elevator at the bottom of the underground base occupied by Men In Black, and a few aliens, one of the agents with a red tie immediately led them to the conference room where a large holographic screen was currently turned on in front of a long table, where Agent O was waiting for the first important report from two trusted agents.
Agent O was a gray-haired elderly lady in a black jacket with a calm yet piercing gaze, her blue eyes were just waiting for the two agents and when they appeared in the conference room, she looked first at M who looked rather irritated.
- I see that you have a hard day today, I heard that you found out something important. She said O, wanting to get to the heart of the matter as quickly as possible and at the same time cure M from a momentary state of irritation, which of course quickly succeeded, but only partially.
- yes, we have important information, we know that a certain Mandulin from the Jababians race has come to Earth and is looking for a creature called Pokemon, which in unknown circumstances has entered our world, thanks to it Mandulin wants to find an unknown source of power that will allow him to gain power in the Galaxy of War. She said M, the main agent O who was listening to her, until she grabbed her face because such a great absurdity as an attack on the galaxy of war was the greatest stupidity, but at the same time something terrible, because the reason was also known, and all this is related to reports regarding two patients of a psychiatric hospital in the USA, related to the recent antics between heaven and hell where John Wick defeated his ex-wife and Steve and Hank, two scientists who worked on the Golden Token.
- so it's true, Golden Token, they are looking for it, something that is unknown, no one knows what it is, I thought it was some kind of fairy tale, a prank by two lunatics. She said Agent O, and M, who was listening to her, jumped up and banged her fists on the table, recalling the event in Nikiszowiec.
- Wait a minute, Golden Token!, a passerby in Nikiszowiec told us about it, some strange guy looking like a movie critic, appeared out of nowhere and disappeared in a dead end, so, you know if it is. She said M in the affirmative.
- Nobody knows about it, we've never heard of anything like that, it started appearing for some time, since the disappearance of the first man, a certain Alex Kowalski disappeared and now a day ago we received information that it was found in the world of Ponies, and now I know it for sure, this Token, it's probably the truth about the indescribable power, Steve and Hank, they were working on it, even we didn't know, it was supposed to allow them to open the portal, but everything was lost, now we know, we already know, so it's true, these objects exist. She said Agent O with great consideration, looking into space, her blue eyes trembling slightly because as it turned out, some myths could be true today.
- so it may be true, for this Mandulin is here, but how, what made this Absol get into our world, does that mean that it could be an unknown creator. Said Agent H who was rather skeptical in this view, but not this time, not now, because so much has already happened, so much, and even more could happen.
- because who created such powerful objects, only the one who defeated Azathoth, because who else, but whether it was the creator of everything, I am not sure, maybe another race with super extra-dimensional technology. She said Agent M directing all attention to herself.
There were many secrets, some agents at lower levels in the Men In Black organization were never informed, for this a higher rank was needed, but there were also myths, legends, and what was once recorded when a few of the abominations and space devourers were annihilated like that.
- the filthy, the devourers, devoured their own star and then something destroyed them, now I regret that this knowledge is available, it should be, what good would it do, but what can it mean, one thing is certain, you have to find this Absol and as soon as possible, but knowing that she is a crossbreed with Zoroark it won't be easy, what's worse I learned the nature and behavior of Pokemon. She said Agent O and her image on the big holographic screen also showed a couple of papers regarding the observed very distant world where people and Pokemon lived in unity.
- I read it carefully, I know one thing, Pokemon despite their power do not rule people, but serve them, thanks to this their world is different, people are different, but getting back to the heart of the matter, this, I mean her, Absol certainly found someone close here, a friend, a girlfriend, maybe she even showed her truth, and if it is true it will only get worse, M, H, tell me what you learned from the witness, what he said. She asked O, wanting to get any information about Pokemon in the human world as soon as possible, because this particular Pokemon could answer many questions, including who sent her here, whether it really was a gesture of an unknown being, a slayer of space devourers.
- actually, that didn't say much. Agent H said timidly, not liking to return home empty-handed.
- he didn't say much, this creature scared him terribly, but only scared him, he kept repeating the same words, about a white ghost, and so on and so forth, we could only erase his memory and nothing more, but then we ran into this witch Nest and her Lombax ilk, and we know what and how, Mandulin is looking for this Absol because he believes that since she got here to this world, she will lead him to the source of power that was created by unknown hands and can give unparalleled strength. She said Agent M, after which she sat down on a silver chair, thinking about what had happened at the John Paul II Hospital in Krakow.
There were really many questions here, many unknowns, but many had already begun to crack, and what was a myth and legend could be true today, because the unknown source of power called the Golden Token was already true, and the words of two madmen, Steve and Hakn were already true today, as much as tomorrow, and therefore, who or what could have created such powerful objects that transported selected people to various places, also giving them extraordinary powers, but in all this there was one great stupidity, the plan of Mandulin who, with the help of such a tool of power, could challenge the Galaxy of War, where the servants of the Immortal Emperor of Humanity chained on the Golden Throne, his servants waged an eternal war with the forces of Chaos, Ork plunderers and pirates, Aeldari, Tau, Necrons, Tyranids, and this war was the object of fear of the entire cosmos, of all who even once looked at this place, only a complete fool wanted to challenge the galaxy of war and the forces that were there slumbering, unless you were something like Azathoth or the one who destroyed them and created the Golden Token.
Of course there was one more thing that caught Agent O attention, because Agent M's words regarding Nest were rather malicious, which was of course something she had never encountered in this regard.
- so Lombax, a certain Nest is helping our wanted Jababians. She said the Agent o in the affirmative, watching the increasingly irritated Agent M and her friend Agent H, who was rolling his eyes.
- I managed to get important information out of her, you could say that she accidentally blurted it out and said that she and the others serve him, Mandulin, he was the one who sent those mecha crabs back then and now those mercenaries from the Lombax race, they told us about his plans, and now Mandulin will certainly proceed to more precise and cautious steps, knowing this pervert. Said Agent H, deliberately avoiding mentioning the kiss he received from Nest, and Agent O, who was listening to him, now focused all her attention on Mandulin and what he was striving for today.
- so that's it, this boor and simpleton, and a tax evader, I thought Mandulin was a typical moron, but I see that a crazy plan sizzled in his head like caramels on steroids and now I know, anyway, we have to start looking and fast, we have to find this Pokemon, Absol and as soon as possible, mobilize your forces, connect to the monitoring and find this creature, maybe some sensors will allow us to find this creature that is hiding in the illusion, we have to do it as soon as possible before this simpleton does it, I'm counting on you. She said Agent O, and the hologram screen image turned off leaving the two agents in the conference room to themselves, then Agent M looked again rather maliciously at her friend standing nearby and he, smiling at her innocently, shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to her.
- this will be a difficult challenge, since this creature is hiding behind the illusion, even taking over the monitoring in Krakow won't help, and if the Pokemon found friends among people, it's even worse. Agent H said, wrinkling his nose, and his friend suddenly stood up from the table and looked into his innocent blue eyes for a moment.
- so it'll be better if we get to work and today, we have to start and as soon as possible, maybe the monitoring will help, and if not, I'd rather not have that angry blue alien with yellow stripes, Nest, help us again, besides, there's no certainty that she was telling the truth. She said Agent M as he left the room, her hair trembling slightly as her friend gave her another irritating answer.
- I'm sure of it, that girl isn't lying, she was as angry as you are now. Agent H said, teasing her friend who only prompted with a loud growl, then she hit the silver door with all her strength and left the smiling Agent to himself.
Meanwhile, at the Three Ponds, at the bottom of the largest lake where a red saucer with four currently switched off moving disks was hidden, three Lombax in yellow spacesuits appeared, giving them adequate defense against various shots except for the heavy ones, of course, two twin brothers Edar and Faxus, two white Lombax with yellow stripes and gleaming yellow eyes continued to watch their blue sister with yellow stripes who walked in front of them with clenched hands, leading them to the main bridge, all the time both brothers, Faxus and Edar tried to get any information out of her but she either snapped at them or growled at them, shining her big green eyes in their direction, or ignoring their words wagging her tail, finally all three Lombax entered through the open bulkheads into the illuminated bridge, full of various computers and a large projected steel ball located in the center that constantly showed one place, one the central point where currently many sensors looking like grey cast iron were stuck, from St. Mary's Basilica, to Wawel, ending with the Nowa Huta housing estate.
This is where the main client, from the Jababians race, usually needed them, but today, surprisingly, when the day was ending, Mandulin disappeared, he was nowhere to be found, the bridge was empty and only apart from the switched on computers and the matrix there was no one here.
- where did he get sucked in. Nest asked, loosening her grip on her hands, and two of her brothers walked in front of her, looking at the large metric sphere and the shining point showing the old city of Krakow.
- hard to say, maybe he went for a need. Faxus said jokingly, wagging his ears and tail.
- Faxus, the only question is for what need, after all, you know, in Katowice there are also many hospitals and those, well, what are they called, oh yes, nurses. Said Edar winking at his brother who wiped his hands and showed his confident smile.
- Oh, give it a rest or you'll end up like that piglet in a moment. She said Nest.
- someone was looking for me, sorry but I was busy. Said Mandulin, when Nest looked back with her brothers suddenly squealed and turned her back raising her right clenched fist.
- piglet, remember what I told you, you remember that fist, and you want to have it in your throat, then get dressed, you pervert!. Nest shouted and two of her brothers see something unpleasant also turned away in disgust at what they saw, they had just dreamed of lovely and nice nurses and suddenly they had to meet such a terrible nightmare on two legs.
Finally the three mercenaries heard another certain call from their boss and employer, the first to turn around was Edar, followed by Faxus, as they both turned around and breathed calmly, Nest managed to gather her courage and look at their employer, a Jababian with blue skin, large jaws and black eyes, having unusual for his race strange horns on his head, dressed in black robes and underwear, Mandulin with his current appearance almost resembled the evil Emperor of the Sith, but he had no such powers apart from his strange perversions, tax evasion and indescribable lust for the goal to obtain an unknown source of power that could allow him to challenge the Galaxy of War.
Mandulin smiled at Nest and she reflexively stuck out her tongue in disgust, but he didn't treat it that way, Mandulin skipped the three mercenaries and sat down in front of the large matrix sphere and the displayed point, and when they looked at their mercenaries his black eyes shone with the image of Krakow.
- so how are you my friend, what did you find out from the world, this man. Mandulin asked and when the two brothers were slightly embarrassed before answering their sister Nest gave the bad news as the only one not afraid of this weirdo.
- nothing that would be important, unfortunately the people from Men In Black got ahead of us and certainly erased this man's memory, unfortunately, the trail is lost, but we can follow them. She said Nest wanting to meet again as soon as possible with the agent she disliked who dared to hurt her with his mercy and rescue, but to even her surprise Mandulin waved it all off.
- come on, they don't know anything either, and I don't mean that I'm eavesdropping on their base in Spodek, no, if that was the case, they would have certainly sent specific units, I have my eye on Spodek and I know that nothing like that happened, more importantly, my sensors picked up one signal from New York, someone higher up called them, and after what happened there I know one thing, if they knew they would have been heading there already. Mandulin said, twiddling the front fingers of his crossed hands.
- so they don't know anything. She said Nest affirmatively and her big green eyes widened uncontrollably again, because it turned out that their mission was doomed to failure anyway.
- yes, besides I got a report from the hospital not so long ago, this witness, this certain Denis, was in total shock, this creature, certainly scared him a lot, so much that he couldn't tell them anything, that's why I'm a hundred percent sure of it, neither they nor we know anything, more importantly as I suspected, the power of this creature's illusion is not detectable, it's a different power, such a natural one, but if it used dark power, lightning, fire, anything, then our sensors would be activated, anyway, I'm sending you to Krakow from tomorrow. Computer, camouflage bands. Mandulin said, then a hatch opened from the ceiling and crab claws emerged from them, in which there was a luminous yellow trunk and inside it three ordinary watches but they were not ordinary watches, oh no, they were extraordinary watches that gave their owners an extraordinary talent for camouflage.
The disguise watches had the ability to turn into people so that an alien walking among humanity could easily hide its true origin and its cosmic form, the three mercenaries took the golden watches and when they put them on and turned them on, Nest, Faxus and Edar in a luminous glow became like people, dressed in yellow clothes, pants, shirts, blouses, and their hair was either white like Faxus and Edar's, or blue like Nest's, and their eyes were like in their true forms, yellow and green.
Seeing Nest in his new form Mandulin, stuttered slightly and wiped his mouth from the saliva that began to drip from his mouth, Nest crossed her eyebrows and bared her teeth looked at him full of anger again raising her clenched right fist.
- you know, you are a piglet after all, but don't forget that fist, remember what it stinks of. She said Nest, Mandulin nodded a few times like a docile dog and then turned around in his silver armchair looking now and exclusively at the image of Krakow reflected on the large sphere of the matrix.
- yes I know, it stinks of a cemetery, I can feel it here, anyway, tomorrow you are leaving for Krakow, I want, I have to find this creature, you personally will start the search tomorrow, I know my sensors are everywhere, but your eyes will also be absolutely necessary there, I need you there very much, unless you want to keep me company, especially you, Miss Nest, sometimes I feel so lonely. Mandulin said jokingly, Nest hearing his words shook her head and her long blue hair falling to her shoulders, wanting to not hear the perverse piglet anymore, left the bridge dragging her brothers behind her, to start searching Krakow personally tomorrow.
Mandulin, left alone on the bridge, began working on the keyboard, switching various symbols known to him and his race, until the sphere that displayed one point suddenly showed from the examination of two former scientists locked in the madhouse, whom John Wick defeated and deprived of their powers, the testimony of two scientists, Steve and Hank.
The same testimony that Agent O had, now the same testimony was being read by Mandulin, his black eyes were turning left and right and his smile was expressed most in the saliva dripping from his mouth, and after everything his wild will was directed to his largest screen where he saw in the last pages displayed on the matrix sphere.
There were the same words contained therein, Golden Token, powerful objects whose power allowed for teleportation of chosen people and endowing them with extraordinary, almost overwhelming powers, therefore these objects themselves contained power greater than the blue supergiants, and the weapon that his race, his friend and collaborator, Vungus the Ugly created a weapon that destroyed worlds, and yet it was another crazy Jababians who took this weapon to the galaxy of war to face the forces of Chaos and Planet Killer himself, ultimately he was defeated and the powerful weapon was destroyed.
- Golden Token, I knew, and these fools think that it is the talk of lunatics, how pathetic they are, it was never an accident, all of them who disappeared, whose cameras and signals were detected, after Omega Kahn fell, were destroyed by one of them, it was not an accident, something moved, why I do not care, but I know one thing, I am close to another of these objects. Mandulin said to himself, placing his hands in front of his face, and the image on the matrix of the round ball of the new moon showed the image of Krakow and the second image of Pokemon, more precisely Absol, which itself had many other elements that distinguished it from its own species, its black tail and its turquoise left eye, the gifts of its father from the Zoroark race.
- You are here, you were not sent here by accident, even if everything here is accidental, then I, my great plan is not part of any chance, nor fate or destiny, I create my fate, I am the master of my destiny and nothing will change that, and when I reach for the greatest prize, then tremble galaxy of war, tremble the forces that are unattainable to this day, ha ha ha cheee. Mandulin said, ending his statement with a loud laugh and a sudden choke, Mandulin almost grabbed his throat as he choked on his own saliva, and the computer reacted immediately.
The gates were opened from the ceiling and the same pair of pincers that gave the three mercenaries the golden box with the gift of infiltration emerged, only to grab Mandulin from both sides and press on the diaphragm, Mandulin snorted and spat out about a liter of his own saliva onto the large matrix ball, when it began to hiss and disappear under the pressure of the high temperature Mandulin settled in his place, the silver armchair shaking his head and waving his own finger at himself.
- one day I'll finish myself off because of my laughter, how close it was, I have to be careful with this, because today I could really smell the flowers from the bottom, but wait. Mandulin said to himself as he began to think intensely and his head horns, until his thoughts began to pulsate slightly.
- what am I going to do with this email, oh yes, I was supposed to obtain a source of unbridled power and take over the galaxy of war, yes, yes, I remember that now, so let's get to work. Said Mandulin again, crossing his hands like a true Sith Lord.
L
The matter is picking up speed, both groups, although they do not yet know the whole truth, are racing each other towards one goal, Absol, who is waiting for them unaware in the city of Krakow.
