The next day, when the two wanted were finally secured by the organization called Men In Black, Antonio and Sisi, now another process was underway to locate the main base and Mandulin itself, some short research was also underway in the base of the secret organization itself, but currently the most important case that the two agents had to deal with was the Krakow case, a black car was heading along the national road and the black agent in black, Agent M, driving it, kept her hands firmly on the steering wheel the whole time, her brown eyes were focused on the road, and her black hair combed to the right trembled slightly under the pressure of the next small holes in the road, but this was not what focused all the agent's thoughts today, but what happened last day.
Sitting next to M, her companion, a man with short black hair, a fresh short beard and blue eyes shining with deceit, Agent H, glanced at his companion every now and then, wanting to accost her about a certain topic that had been brought up the previous day, and how Nest had made his friend accidentally say too much, finally the slightly nervous agent, twiddling his fingers in his clenched hands, gave in to his courage and looked at his friend who, when she felt his gaze on her, clenched her hands tighter on the steering wheel, not knowing what she would do when this obvious question was asked.
- so, M, I didn't know that you felt something for me on such a high level. Agent H said timidly.
- oh come on, that was yesterday, huh. Agent M asked suddenly shocked because she felt the hand of her friend on her right knee, who now did not take his eyes off her.
- you know, I always felt something for you too, now I see it clearly. H said and his friend suddenly grabbed him firmly by the left hand and looked into his blue eyes from the corner of her eye.
- so tell me one thing.
- go ahead, cream puff.
- Um, that, I mean, yes, what is your position on Nest. M asked and Agent H immediately trembled, his hand became hard and tense or he didn't know what to say and how, because there was also something more here that made Nest also draw his attention.
- it's a bit complicated. H said nervously.
- complicated, I'll tell you how complicated it is, she pisses me off, but. She said Agent M, then suddenly kissed H and looked him in the eye, steering the car to the side of the road.
- it doesn't bother me, maybe she pisses me off, but there's something about her proposal that turns me on, chi chi chi. Agent M laughed wickedly.
The viewer and hearing her friend's statement, surprised, almost paralyzed H, even wiped the sweat from his forehead because he would never have expected this, not this, not such a proposal from two fighting girls, one of them an alien, but there was something in him that made such an idea sizzle in his head like caramels.
- Actually, now moving on to professional matters, I wonder if it wouldn't be better if we stayed at the base, I don't know why but Antonio is exaggerating a bit here. Said Agent H watching as the image of disappearing buildings and trees flashed before his eyes, returning to Krakow again at Antonio's request.
- I'm not surprised, he tried to call his parents and for some reason they didn't answer, it's hard to say why, that's why we're going to check this matter personally, I'm not surprised he's upset about it, it's better to check and be safe than sorry than to deal with problems later. She said Agent M, now focused again on her mission and duties.
Both agents had one task today, a meeting with Antonio's parents who, surprisingly, hadn't been answering their phone since yesterday, hadn't given any sign of life, which could mean a lot, really a lot, including the worst, that the parents had disappeared by Mandulin's will, on the other hand, the alien knew practically nothing about Antonio, on his trail, or more precisely on Absol's trail, the Lombax came across through sensors set up in Krakow, but on the other hand, there were many possibilities.
Suddenly both agents were stopped by a loudly ringing mobile phone, Agent M immediately stopped the car on the side of the road so as not to talk on the phone while driving.
- M, isn't this a waste of time. H asked.
- no, remember driving and talking on the phone can lead to accidents, it's like having two beers, and that's really a lot, too much, you can't do that, hello, yes, what, Mrs. O, yes I'll put it on speakerphone. She said Agent M, turning on the mobile phone on speakerphone with a built-in antenna thanks to which they could easily connect to the headquarters of the organization.
Both agents looked at each other knowing that talking to O, one of the main presenters, could mean problems, troubles, for both of them and that's exactly how it was supposed to be, because O, her voice, rough, sharp, loud sounded from the phone hanging in the ignition.
- H, M, maybe you can tell me what this means, what kind of insubordination is this, you take an outsider to the company headquarters, you didn't solve the problems with him, what do you need neutralizers for if you don't use them, why, I ask why, we have our duties and here we fail. The main Agent O asked and her voice was still rough and raised.
- it's not that simple. Agent H said but was quickly drowned out by his superior.
- come on, it's not that simple?, it's very simple, you take the neutralizer and clean up, is there anything difficult about it, and now what, this creature, Pokemon and a human are sitting in our cafeteria and eating breakfast, how could this have happened. O asked.
- It's really not that simple, and please don't interrupt me, this creature from the Pokemon world, Sisi, she defended and will defend the human, because she loves him, and no matter what the repercussions will be, I will not raise my hand against them, because that's not how it's done, Antonio and Sisi, in my defense I can say that Agent H tried but Sisi overpowered him, just like she later defended us from the Lombax mercenaries, and I, I don't want to separate them like that, it's not allowed. She said Agent M with a slightly raised voice and for a moment she heard silence on the other side of the phone, silence that was suddenly interrupted by her friend sitting next to her.
- Wait, you're in Katowice, but how, when. H asked.
- It's simple, as soon as I heard about securing the Pokemon, and the man whose memories you didn't erase, I had to see it with my own eyes and now I see them drinking hot chocolate together. She said and Agent M's heart trembled with fear, M immediately took the phone in her hands.
- what do you want to do, if you do something to Antonio, this Pokemon, Sisi will make minced cutlets out of you, please don't do that. She said M abruptly and again she heard a short silence.
- I'll think about what I'll do, for now I'll leave them alone, but I have a few questions, have you done the tests, do you know if what Mandulin wants to do has any chance here, because he wants to use Absol, this Pokemon to find some source of power. The main agent O asked, and Agent M holding the phone and standing on the side of the road began to talk about the last hours of the previous day.
- we did all the tests, the general ones I mean, but none of the sensors detected anything that could indicate that Sisi would somehow find the unknown source of power, what some call the Golden Token. She said AgentM looking through the window at the landscape around.
- and you questioned her thoroughly, after all she comes from the Pokemon world, she knows much more than our friends from outer space who were supposed to spy on this world, until they gave up because of the power of the Pokemon there. O asked.
- she claims she doesn't know much, apart from what we know, maybe you'll have better luck, because this creature, Pokemon doesn't trust us young people too much. Agent H said leaning over M.
- okay, I'll question her personally. She said O, and the sound of the door opening could also be heard on the phone.
- and out of curiosity, why are you going to Krakow, Antonio's parents are here, right.
- nothing can be hidden from you. She said M, looking at her friend and winking at him.
- exactly nothing, and now take care of this matter and I'll talk to Sisi, or whatever her name is. She said O and turned off the phone contact with the two agents.
M put the phone aside on the ignition and looked at her friend with a confident smile, guiding her hand too far to the right.
- but she doesn't know everything and can't predict what not. M added, guiding her hand further and further. Until her friend squealed and jumped in his seat.
- aaaa. H shouted in an attack of uncontrolled panic.
Meanwhile, in the underground base, on the twentieth floor of the underground, in the threshold of the cafeteria where many different silver, white and black tables stood, Agent O, who had come all the way to Poland with a specific mission, to examine, question and check an unusual creature from another world, an older woman with milk-white hair and visible wrinkles on her face was watching a couple of lovers, herself debating on what or who had sent this creature here with snow-white fur, a red tail with black tips, a horn and a face of blue color and two-colored eyes, ruby and turquoise.
The main agent O had some information about finding some people who disappeared from one day to the next, she also had the testimony of two scientists, patients of a psychiatric hospital Steve and Hank, who were conducting such a secret project that even her organization did not know about, if it were otherwise O would certainly have the Golden Token in her hands today, the question was what she could do with such power, such an item with such incredible powers and properties, but what was is already the past, now only facts are important and what came to the human world from another, from the Pokemon world, and now this creature of the Absol race, was just drinking a cup of chocolate together with her beloved, a young member with gray hair, green eyes, and that naive expression on his face.
Antonio was also dressed in a blue suit today and since the previous day he hadn't left Sisi even for a moment just as she had demanded, they were both inseparable and not only because they were connected by their weakness, Sisi naturally didn't trust a secret organization that could take all of her beloved's memories away in less than a second, that's why she always kept her fingers crossed for him, now it was similar, even though she was eating a meal, finishing her third hamburger, she was vigilantly watching the agents and they were watching her but not because they were plotting something but out of fascination and curiosity, you could say that for the past few days, and even more so since yesterday evening, there had been no other topic in the underground base than Pokemon and their world.
O slowly approached the young man and Absol, Sisi seeing another agent who had come so close immediately put her paw on the man's left hand, vigilantly watching the gray-haired agent who could surprise her at any moment.
- Calm down, I'm not here to separate you or hurt you, now I see that it would be very difficult, besides I'd rather not fight you, miss. She said Head Agent O questioningly, watching Absol who was nervously wagging her red tail.
- I'll try, and my name is Sisi. She said Sisi attentively listening to every word of the older agent.
- Thank you Agent O, the head agent of our organization. She said O sitting on the other side of the silver table.
- My name is Antonio Karwowski, engineer for friends. Said Antonio with a modest smile which O interpreted as a sensitive and naive man.
- I know what you are capable of and what technology you have, Men In Black, it's interesting, and to think that in my world someone like you can also exist. She said Sisi waiting for an answer as well as the first questions.
- no, we are not there, and as for you and your world, not so long ago some aliens were there, they checked your world for us, then they quickly escaped from those areas because of powerful pokemons, you scared them seriously, but I know one thing, Jet Sobieski, also called Eternals Warborn, and I know one thing he is not the only one, Alex Kowalski, Roberto Halski, Carlos Kozlowski, there are many of you who were suddenly teleported to other worlds, we found some on worlds that do not know the truth, another part was found on worlds such as Skylanders, after Carlos Kozlowski destroyed the super Transformers there, it echoed in space, and no wonder, but back to you, especially you my dear. She said O now directing another question to Sisi and she, not showing fear, probably looked at the agent in black, herself being surprised and curious about the strange disappearances.
- so there are more such disappearances, it is certainly the fault of unknown objects, I know I saw one in my world and attempts with time to stop it, but some being said that what has already happened cannot be stopped, because the timeline of the present is unchanging, such a question of time, and I saw this thing Golden Token. She said Sisi and then choked on the chocolate because as it turned out she had said too much by accident, but the one who sent her to this world never told her to be silent, only to keep watch, to guard the amulet made of sandstone, which she constantly and now had around her neck, hung on a silver chain with the symbol of the Mayan calendar.
Naturally, her words made not only all the agents watch her in deep silence, the listening O Az almost jumped in her seat, the white chair when the words about the unknown entity, about the Golden Token reached her ears.
- so it's true Golden Token, what exactly did you see, and time for that, but how, no, it's too big a deal for me, better tell me what you know, what happened in your world. She said O almost greedily expecting an answer.
Sisi in a moment of silence looked at Antonio who took her hand, Sisi was afraid that what she would say now could endanger her beloved because revealing great knowledge can endanger herself and him, because an object that is unnecessary usually ends badly.
- Sisi you never told me about it, it's really amazing, Golden Token. Antonio asked.
- and this being, who, what is it, but no, let's start from the beginning, Golden Token, please Sisi tell us everything, me and don't be afraid we won't hurt you, what you say now may influence so many foxes, because a certain Mandulin claims that you are the one who has to lead him to the next one, just like in your world the truth. The main Agent O asked tricky, Sisi in the first answer started shaking her head nervously answering the first question.
- it's not me, I never led anyone to Golden Token, but I was there when they wanted to stop it and wanted to destroy it, then a portal was created and this man Jet Sobieski went through it, oh that's right. She said Sisi pointing to the picture with the image of a man with gray hair and brown eyes full of revenge.
- so it's him, so continue, so all you have to do is hit Token, or as some lunatics from my world said, all you have to do is for Token to fall into the hand of the chosen one and then the portal is opened, that gives them a choice. She said Agent O once again in a tricky way.
- No, it's not like that, he said that despite the open portals, Token doesn't take away the choice, no, when the chosen one has an open portal in front of them, they can go through it and stir things up in a given place or stand with their back to the portal and leave, closing the portal and everything connected to it. She said Sisi, nervously twirling her red tail, and the main Agent O gasped as she learned the knowledge that even they didn't have so far.
- So that's all, I don't understand it, how, who, why would this person do such things, and was it them who made you here, please tell me. O asked, and a deathly silence reigned in the entire cafeteria.
- first of all, this him, I don't know who he is exactly, I don't know, but I can confirm, he brought me here, in my world, I was in love twice, my heart was broken twice, that's when he gave me a choice, he gave me a white star, that's how I explain it, the White Star is a luminous crystal, it doesn't give power but opens the way to another world or a place where someone has a chance for a new, better life, I took advantage of it because that was my greatest hope, but who he is, I don't know, but I do know one thing, once I saw him stop the time of the entire cosmos, it was downright shocking, I don't know who he is, that's why now I'm going to ask a question, do you know anything about it, Miss O. asked Sisi, listening O leaned back in her chair thinking about everything she heard.
- maybe it's some divine being. Antonio said in the affirmative, they looked at Sisi and the woman in deep contemplation of the whole matter, and his words added even bigger questions than answers.
- Divine Being?. The Chief Agent O asked herself, until suddenly her eyes twitched as much as the wrinkles on her face.
- It's impossible, but there's something I've heard a few times, and it's some hidden knowledge about the one who destroyed the Azathoth race. She said O, and Sisi, who was listening to her, suddenly came out with her own knowledge that was just as shocking as everything around her.
- this being spoke of it, he also said that he had chained and slept the heir of the wrath of this destroyed race, supposedly he threw ten of Azathoth outside the universe to suffer for eternity, in some crystal prisons, and their heir of wrath was bound in our world, our leader Arceus asked for help and received it, but a certain conspiracy of vampires caused a greedy and revengeful foolish man to almost bring destruction upon us, then Jet Sobieski sacrificed himself for us and entered the dreams of this monster called Urmanakur, The Devil, so that this monster could sleep forever and suffer in his sleep and Jet Sobieski could fulfill the pleasure with the useful, fight forever, and fight for the world and the one he loved. She said Sisi, the Main Agent listening to her, and wiped the sweat from her forehead after what had just reached her.
- so it may be true, a divine being, practically every alien culture has its own god, so that's it?, that's too much for an old person like me, besides, we're straying too far from the topic for today, we have a problem with you and Antonio. She said O, Sisi immediately put her paw on the man's left hand again, ready to fight, but O's modest smile made Sisi withdraw from the actions preparing her for the fight.
- since you don't feel any power, nor source, since that's the case, our only problem right now is Mandulin, he needs to be located and arrested, and as for you, as for you Mr. Antonio, since you've kept the truth a secret for so long, I'm sure now that you won't reveal the truth about us and the aliens, besides, having someone like Sisi here, I'm sure that you'll always be defended, Agent M was right after all, sometimes it's worth waiving the obligation to erase your memory. She said O, the words of the main agent brought joy and great peace to the couple of lovers who looked at each other with a tender smile and their great feeling that connected them Seca, Absol in this world and the human made even O, remembering old times also feel warmth in her own heart.
- Thank you for everything and I promise that I will have two eyes on Antonio, no one will ever threaten my sweet little donut. She said Sisi then gently and tenderly snuggled up to her beloved placing her head on his chest and gently purring to him.
- Me too, I will never say anything, I have never said anything, and I will never say anything, I will always guard Sisi, and I will never leave her, shut up about you as I do about Sisi, you have my word, and my cream bun. Said Antonio gently cradling Sisi in his hands and a few agents seeing their tenderness until they started to come out of the tables and feeling how the level of sweetness exceeded their acceptable standards.
- no, it's too sweet for me, I think I'll puke in a moment, and I ate such good kaszanka, I mean krupniok. Said one of the agents.
In the meantime, Krakow and Krupnicza Street, between the tenement houses, a black car stopped in a small parking lot, from which two agents in their black suits came out, Agent H, and Agent M, they looked at the tenement houses made of large blocks of stone and red brick, then looked at each other and nodded.
- so it's ready, we only have to check on Antonio's parents, nothing more, and justify them, do you have an idea?. Agent H asked, twirling his black beard left and right.
- I always have ideas, we'll say that he won a trip to the Bahamas, and we are company envoys, that's all, if you know what we have in store. She said Agent M, putting on black glasses with her friend, also taking out a silver neutralizer for memory, and at the end giving H a firm pat on the butt.
- hey, what is this illegal behavior. H said approaching the staircase door.
- illegal, and who's talking, and what are you doing with Nest, why are you letting her out and for the third time, that's really illegal, and now get your ass in gear and get inside, quickly. She said Agent M and her friend nodded and went inside first.
Not a moment later two agents entered the third floor and started knocking slowly, then when no one answered their knocking was getting stronger and more violent, finally after the third knock H quickly pulled out a pistol with neutralizing ammunition attached, nodded to his friend and instinctively grabbed the door handle, as it turned out the door was open, the two agents standing on the staircase looked each other in the eye, both were armed with weapons, H nodded and M pointed to the middle of the apartment, after which Agent H ran into the corridor leading to the main room connected to the kitchen, where a brown segment bordered black and white kitchen furniture and everything was strangely empty and quiet.
Agent H walked over to the black and white kitchen counter where the ham sandwich was lying, he instinctively took the sandwich and started eating it, observing the guest room and the parents' room which was also empty, after a while Agent M returned to the large room, hiding the gun in her pocket, shrugging her shoulders and looking at the empty apartment once more.
- There's no one here, H, come on, you're not full yet, do you always have to think only with your stomach?, you could think of something else. She said M with a quiet giggle under her breath.
- Oh come on, this sandwich is great, bread, ham, and the Tabasco sauce that I love, it's awesome, I'm telling you. Said H showing the half-eaten sandwich, and his partner looked at the brown table where the letter with the familiar signature was lying.
- Oh please, your other girlfriend was here with her brothers, and I thought she was more honest, but now I know she's ordinary. She said Agent M as she read the letter with gritted teeth, a letter written on a matrix where the writing never disappeared and was illuminated whenever darkness fell.
- look, "we've kidnapped Antonio's parents, stop. We have them Mandulin, stop. If you want Antonio's parents to come back home, you have to hand over Sisi to us, stop. The meeting will take place in two days at Kraków Błonie, where you chased us away, stop. Insubordination will be punished with the lives of both parents stop". Agent M read, clenching her hands tightly and her brown eyes looked furiously at her partner and his strange smile speaking through the chewed sandwich with ham and tabasco sauce.
- so what are you so happy about, what, Nest is quite an otter and really, such a trick on us, and don't defend her, I don't care that she works for Mandulin and carries out his orders, what did she do, after all, when Antonio and Sisi find out about our defeat, it's scary to think what this Absol will do to us, H, what are you showing me, every other page. What!. Agent M shouted after her partner with his mouth full showed her the other side of the letter.
- if you want to surprise us, we are waiting for you in the valley of three ponds, stop. The red saucer Mandulin is immersed in the largest pond, and is waiting at its bottom, stop. My brothers and I have decided to end our cooperation with him because he is an idiot, stop. Signed Nest. She said Agent M with big eyes, looking from the letter to her partner who was just finishing swallowing the last bite.
- and I told you, Nest is not what you thought, and not only her, her brothers are the same, now we have to go back to Katowice as soon as possible and start preparing to recover the kidnapped, and of course arrest Mandulin. Agent H said showing his modest smile, Agent M shook her head and looked again at the letter left by Nest, M currently did not know what to think about this Lombax, whether to be angry at her or not, everything was interrupted suddenly and violently by H who grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to the exit from the empty apartment.
- M, stop thinking about it, we have to go back to Katowice quickly, now. H said pulling his partner through the corridor, and after a moment they both got into the black car again, this time driven by H and their enemy, although he didn't know anything yet, was already ready for a lot, a lot, but above all for taking over an extremely powerful object that could challenge the galaxy of war in itself.
L
Now it's certain, what was rather inevitable is coming, the fight with Mandulin, but not everything is certain yet, because there is something that could surprise everyone, including the reaction of the mercenaries who have their own plans today.
