When the two agents returning from Krakow already knew about the current turn of events, the kidnapping of Antonio's parents, in Katowice itself, in the area of Three Ponds, at the bottom of one of them rested a still sleeping red saucer with four moving discs, it was here that the last meeting was taking place, in but not in the bridge, but in the hangar where ten red mecha crabs were stationed, large crabs armed with pincers and micro plasma guns, ten cows standing in their places in two rows were waiting for their activation, for a word and a gesture from the Jababians leader who now stood in the middle of the hangar looking at his servants who were pushing two stasis capsules along the steel floor, capsules made of steel with extraordinary technology and a small window showing the image of two hibernating people, Nikodem and Carmen.
Hunchbacked, blue-skinned, with a large jaw, black eyes and unusual horns on his head for his race, the mandolin looked at his victims who were to be his current greatest asset, the object of blackmail, because since he had the human's parents in his hands he could force him and his Absol to do anything he wanted, and believing in the strong bond between humans and Pokemon, he knew what this Pokemon would do even if the human asked Absol for anything else, but the greatest knowledge was provided to him by a golden-haired woman with two pigtails, dressed in green with a green cap, Vera Kaminsky.
Vera told Mandulin in detail about the meeting with Antonio, about how Sisi saved him, how she was strongly attached to him, which gave only one answer, this Pokemon loved the human and was ready to do a lot for him, for him and his parents, for this now Mandulin and Vera, who was accompanying him, rubbed their hands together, planning great plans for the future of conquests on two fronts.
- now I am so close, all that is needed is for this creature, Pokemon, to surrender itself to me, it will surely do so, nothing will stop me on my way to locating the source of power, this source of power will be mine!, and then the galaxy of war, what is untouchable there will tremble before my divine majesty!. Mandulin shouted, raising his clenched right fist high, clapping his jaw comically and rolling his black eyes.
- as soon as I get rid of this otter, no one will stand in my way, no one will bother me anymore, and my Antonio will be only mine, you get rid of this Pokemon and I will conquer my galaxy, I will conquer the heart of my good friend with force and power, ha ha ha ha. Vera laughed with such force that her braids stood on end and took the form of devil horns, and her image was terrifying even for Mandulin, but this time he no longer felt such fear because her goal was his goal, it was their common goal.
- exactly we will do it together, we will both kill many birds with one stone here, you will get your chosen one and I will get my power, Absol will lead me to it, will lead me to the key to reach the Galaxy of War. Mandulin said, extending his right fist to Vera.
- exactly, we will do it together, you will have this Pokemon and this source of mine and I will get my source, together, ha ha ha. She said Vera, striking her fist against the fist of her cosmic ally, at the same moment their fists shone with a lightning strike and they both squealed.
- that was something. Mandulin said and the three siblings and his servants, until they took a joint step back, the three Lombax in yellow suits looked at the person and their eyes were twisted and terrified in their own way.
The two white brothers with yellow stripes and eyes looked at each other, both Edar and Faxus until they let out air from their mouths and noses, even their trembling ears seeing that their boss and this woman had completely lost their minds and completely, while the blue Nest with yellow stripes standing in front of them, and her eyes did a few turns seeing the complete madness in the minds of two lunatics like Mandulin and his ally Vera.
- they really went crazy, Rivet was right to warn me against such work, and with such a lunatic as Mandulin. She said Nest to herself and her brothers standing behind her nodded and muttered in agreement, then two crazy, deranged and kicked in the head allies looked at her and her brothers.
- You said something. Mandulin asked.
- Well, what were those whispers supposed to be. Vera asked suspiciously, watching everyone, and her eyes were focused the most on Nest, Nest waved her tail and looked at the mecha crabs.
- I said that you are very similar, and so much so that it sparks in you. She said Nest, looking first at the ten disabled crabs standing five on both sides and then she went to the two hibernation pods and the largest element that was supposed to force Absol into submission.
- and just out of curiosity, you left our enemies the matrices, because if not, then in two days nothing, no one will show up at Krakowskie Błonia. Mandulin said questioningly, watching as the ghost of the brothers, Faxus and Edar grabbed the metal handles and started pushing the capsules down the long corridor to the Gumny bridge where two prepared places were already waiting for them.
- of course we left them a message, don't insult us and our professionalism. Edar said wagging his ears.
- exactly we are not that stupid. Faxus said and when he passed Vera he instinctively allowed himself to be sarcastic towards her, but as it turned out he regretted it sorely, because Vera immediately grabbed his hand and lifted him up by the jacket looking into his eyes and her own blue eyes made strange turns, in the tightness of the left eye which wandered left and right.
- do this to me again and I'll drag you through the manure field, so don't try it again or I'll put my fist down your throat, smell my fist, go ahead. She said Vera, after Faxus smelled her clenched fist he was released and nodded meekly, grabbed the railing and ran with the capsule into the tunnel.
Nest looked back once more and shook her head, the image of the ghost of lunatics worthy of each other was like the biggest slap in the face to her own professionalism, Nest walking down the silver corridor lit in red shook her head again thinking about what she was doing in this place.
- Rivet was right, I should take up gastronomy, it's a much nicer profession, but now not everything is lost yet, but mine, our shared professionalism is, we shouldn't do this, but still. She said Nest to herself quietly overtaking two brothers and two capsules led down the corridor.
- Nest, sister, but it was your idea, besides, you wanted it yourself, and you know who it is because of, not only those two lunatics with their heads paralyzed by the sun, but because of him, Nest I didn't think you were so strange, you and a human, and she too, well I didn't expect that from you. Said Faxus, but after his words he shuddered again when he saw the furious face of his blue sister.
- and who is saying this, what, you, Faxus, who allows yourself forbidden sarcasm, and you say various lewd things in your sleep about nurses from this world, and who has a problem here, what, because it's definitely not me, and even if you are not better than me, because worse, so give it a rest. Said the furious Nest.
- so you regret what is happening here, because I often hear shades that you regret not listening to Rivet, is it true, do you really regret what is happening now. Edar asked leading the capsule down the corridor where a woman with black hair in a red dress was lying, Nest walking next to them looked at the closed door leading to the main bridge, then looked at her hands and showed a confident smile, although she regretted many things not that specific thing that had its place and that three times.
- I regret many things, but not this, in this one thing Rivet was wrong, in this one element, although she was also half right, people have this something in them that makes us lose our hearts to them, they have this something. She said Nest, then she flipped the switch on the door and led her brothers into a luminous place full of computers, and a large luminous matrix ball showing one place, permanently Krakow and currently Krakow Błonie, where the exchange of prisoners was to take place in two days, where blackmail was to lead Mandulin to the implementation of his great plan, which meant that his crazy thoughts and ambition could explode at any moment, in fact it had already happened, because the image of him, the conqueror conquering the Galaxy of War, where an eternal war was going on between the Empire and Chaos, and various Xenos, made Mandulin feel so much excitement inside him every minute that if he could, he would shoot himself into space.
Edar and Faxus set up two pods under the eastern part of the bridge with a view of the screen and the glass separating the ship from the blue water where fish and not only swam, the two brothers set up two pods together and looked at the underwater image and Nest, who was accompanying them, looked at the two pods and the two people asleep in them, then looked with her brothers at the glass overlooking the bottom of one of the lakes, thinking about what their secret allies would do soon, what they would do and when, because it was just as intriguing, because leaving them precise coordinates the attack could have happened at any moment, and the three siblings could now only prepare to carry out another secret plan hidden from the backs of both heads heated by the sun.
- When do you think it will happen?. Faxus asked with his arms folded looking at the blue and the swimming fish.
- It's hard to say, definitely tomorrow, today, tonight, I don't know exactly when but you know what it means. Said Edar placing his hands on one of the two hibernation pods.
- Yes, there is no other way, we have to act and quickly, if tonight I doubt it, they will prefer to increase their strength, after all there are ten mecha crabs here, so, they are very prudent anyway. She said Nest with her hands hidden behind her back.
- Not all of them, this boyfriend of yours seems rather hot-headed. Faxus said then his ears quivered with fear again as his sister glared at him.
- He is not my boyfriend, at least not yet, but tomorrow he will be, besides she doesn't bother me either, triangles too, and you, keep quiet here, you also have yours behind your ears, so keep quiet here, we understand each other, you and your nurses, oh no talking. She said Nest spitefully.
- well, there's nothing wrong with that, if you allow such strange relationships, why shouldn't we have fun like that, and no, we're not like Mandulin, he's a pig and a pervert, end of story. Said Edar, his sister Nest smiled sincerely at him and Faxus agreed with their opinion on Mandulin.
- yes, you're right, this guy is quite a pig, a pervert, but when I look at Vera now, she would be similar to him, actually she is, but to a different degree, and of course she's probably a worse lunatic than him, the way her braids stood up like the horns of some beast, brrrrr. She said Nest feeling strong shivers down her spine.
The three Lombax looking out the cockpit window at the image of calmly swimming fish shivered slightly remembering what they had seen, how Vera in a fit of madness showed her most terrible face, downright devilish.
Meanwhile, in the underground base in Katowice, under Spodek, in the main hall where many agents had gathered, more work was underway, many of the agents were conducting various scans on computers in order to locate Mandulin and his hidden base, then the elevator doors to the surface opened and a pair of agents dressed in black suits came out, the black Agent M, with a watchful look in her brown eyes, stroking her black hair, and her slightly nervous companion, with dark hair, a short beard and that look full of tension in his blue eyes, even greater when their main superior appeared opposite, an elderly lady with white cream hair with visible wrinkles and that intelligent look that already said a lot.
- something happened, I can see it right away, some bad news. The main agent asked O, lead both agents through one of the corridors to the secured office where the man and his Absol were waiting for their return.
- well, we have good news and bad news, which one to start with. H said, trying to sound as calm as possible.
- I prefer the bad news, so what happened?. Chief Agent O asked.
- exactly, the enemies got ahead of us, the crew led by Nest, in accordance with Mandulin's will, in some unknown way got hold of information about Antonio and kidnapped their parents, they want to exchange them for Absol. H said, trying to maintain all appearances of normality.
- and you talk about it so smoothly, just like that, now this Absol, Sisi will surely surrender to this pervert, this pig, I read about Pokemon, I talked to Sisi, if it finds out about the kidnapping, you know how it will end, Sisi is so deeply in love with Antonio, she will surrender herself to this idiot. She said O, and despite her advanced age and professionalism, she was just tearing her hair out in a panic attack.
- but it's not that bad yet, we also have good news. She said M, wrinkling her nose, the older agent looked at both agents from under her hand covering her face.
- what again. She asked O, waiting for an answer.
Agent M looked at her companion, folding her arms in front of her, her brown eyes darting between her partner and the waiting older agent, until they both looked at the open door where a lively conversation between Antonio and Sisi could be heard.
- Well, brag H, brag that you managed to gain allies and moles in the enemy's ranks, it's worth talking about, isn't it, Nest, and her brothers, Faxus and Edar are with us. She said Agent M, slightly frowning, but on the other hand, a certain playful monster had been awakened in her, and it was because of the one she had once disliked so much.
- So straight to the point, Nest and her brothers are on our side, they left us information about the location of the Mandulin saucer, he and his saucer are in Katowice, not far away, in the Valley of Three Ponds, there at the bottom of the largest pond rests his saucer, here's proof. Said Agent H, pulling out a glowing matrix from under his jacket, written with a message from three Lombax.
Agent O immediately received the message from Agent H, reading everything from the beginning to the end, and when she looked, she didn't ask any questions anymore, she wasn't interested in how H had gained such valuable allies, why his partner was mean to him, for her only one thing was important at the moment, information about the location of the enemy saucer and acting on it as quickly as possible.
- I know everything, M, H, gather the agents as soon as possible, weapons, we'll give them a good beating today, and since we have our people there, it'll go all the better for us, they'll certainly support us, but if this is some nonsense. She said O, squeezing the Matrix so tightly in her hands that it broke.
- no problem, I trust Nest, besides she has a duty to me, I saved her skin a few times, and she hates pity, so she probably won't cheat me, but we have another problem, what are we going to do with this knowledge, should Antonio know about everything, maybe it would be better if he didn't know about such things, well, we'll manage on our own, and we won't expose them, especially Sisi. Agent H suggested, and his partner M, and the boss Senior Agent O, both nodded their heads at him in agreement.
- you're right, it's better if they didn't know, they were risking too much anyway, it's time for us to help them, but I, I, I won't tell them that, I think I'm also losing my sense of professionalism and it's because of them, M, H, I don't blame you for deciding not to hurt them, especially you Agent M, but are you able to cheat them?. O asked, the younger Agent shook her head because she was also very attached to Sisi and Antonio.
- I don't know if I can handle it, after all, I also postulated to protect them from our neutralizers, it's so inappropriate, they should know but on the other hand it might cost them too much. She said M, the vision that she would have to lie to her friend, and she treated them like her friends, and someone she stood up for against everyone, the entire organization and the vision of lying to them was now too unpleasant for them.
- Okay, I'll do it, Em, Antonio. Agent H asked when suddenly in the passage he saw a young man in a blue suit, slightly shiny gray hair and those currently uncomprehending green eyes.
- Em, that, sorry, haven't you seen Sisi somewhere, I was talking to her, we were eating those, well, Krupniok, and suddenly Sisi disappeared, I thought she was here next to me but she disappeared, and now, I was talking to an illusion. Antonio said confused by everything, the three agents looked at each other knowing what had been set in motion.
- but not that, did she hear everything that was said here!. Agent M shouted terrified.
- it could be true, Pokemon, these creatures have really strong and sensitive various senses, maybe she heard us, and if, oh no, I know what she can do, quickly alarm in the base, now. The most well-read Senior Agent O shouted, then ran down the corridor turning on the alarm that stopped the elevator in place, but as it turned out it was too late.
- what's going on here, maybe you can explain to me!. Antonio shouted, feeling fear creep up his spine, and his big eyes were piercing both agents, including Agent M.
Both Agents suddenly and violently moved towards the exit, and Antonio, who was constantly repeating questions, followed the agents, and when he entered the large hall with the telescreens on, he saw how many agents in full gear, with large shotguns, automatic weapons, each of the agents was standing and waiting for orders, Antonio, looking at the gathered people in black suits, began to cry slightly because he no longer understood anything of what was happening, he did not understand any of this, then Antonio stood in front of the two agents, repeating his question, and Agent H and Anetka M looked at each other, finally H let out a heavy breath and gave the bad news.
- unfortunately your parents were kidnapped by Mandulin, we do not know how, how he suddenly knew so much about you, but he kidnapped your parents.
- no, that's impossible, you're winding me up, but wait, why, where is Sisi. Antonio said with a trembling voice, Agent M bowed her heads and looked at the terrified man who only wanted to know where Sisi was now.
- Sisi certainly heard our conversation, we know where Mandulin is, he's under one of the three ponds in the Valley of Three Ponds, Sisi went there because Mandulin wants to exchange your parents for her, to find some source of power. She said Agent M.
Hearing everything that was worst Antonio, until he took two steps to the steel wall and sat down on the cold ground, clenching both his teeth and his hands, feeling anger and guilt only towards himself.
- it's because of me, it's my fault, she's doing this for me and I'm so torn now, so torn, my parents, Sisi, what should I do, what should I do, please I know you're planning a strike, right, that's why, for this huge gathering of armed men, right, tell me it's true, this is your plan. Antonio said, quickly getting up from the cold floor.
The two agents looked at each other, they knew that it was their duty to leave the man here, and even erase his memories, but none of them tried to do it, they took this matter too personally, too personally, so both agents could only clench their own hands and let Antonio join them.
- Fine, we'll take you with us, but you sit in the car and stay out of trouble or it will be bad, you understand. Agent H said, Antonio nodded quickly but when both agents looked at each other they knew perfectly well that what Antonio did was illusory, because if he saw Sisi in danger he would certainly go to help her, they knew it too well, they knew how it works knowing it best from themselves, a person in love makes mistakes and it was the same here, just like the organization itself, everyone despite being members of a secret organization were also just people, people who feel, they are not like machines that in themselves have an advantage over mortal races without feeling, although there were races in space that also did not feel, but always the worst force here was one great hunger that made a certain race turn into monsters.
- agreed, we'll sort this out with O, but remember, you have to stay away from problems in the future, remember. She said Agent M with a modest smile on her face, then M looked at H once more and they went down the main hall leading a civilian behind them, a man who should never have been in this place but was.
Unfortunately, the truth was what it was, the white Absol with a red tail with black tips after her father Zoroark and a turquoise left eye had heard too much, and when the first words and bad information about Antonio's parents were spoken, Sisi decided for the good of everyone, and Antonio to do something truly crazy, by the power of illusion she slipped out of the office room listening in the shadow to the words of the three agents, as soon as she learned the location of the enemy saucer she rushed at breakneck speed to the elevator that one of the agents was about to go up.
Sisi fell into the elevator, knocking over the agent who looked around, but the agent, not seeing anyone, pulled a steel canteen out of his pocket and shook his head, promising himself that he would limit this problem, and when Sisi showed him a pair of white mice with her power of illusion, the agent even walked out of the elevator cabin abruptly and threw a bottle of strong alcohol into the trash, Sisi turned on the button, and when Sisi was alone in the elevator going up, she looked at her front paws and then clenched them as hard as she could.
- I know he will hate me now, but I have to do it, if this boor wants me in exchange for his family, for his father and mother who finally saw the truth, then let him take me, I won't help him anyway because how could he. She said Sisi to herself, and then a stone amulet with a Mayan symbol in the form of a calendar landed on her left paw, a gift given to her by the one who gave her and the white star, a crystal portal leading to this world where she found such great happiness.
Sisi let out a breath, feeling both strength and anger inside her, towards herself and the alien because of whom she had to cheat her beloved, because of whom she had only problems, had to get involved in fights that were never hers, except for one fight with Vera, a fight that was ultimately decided by none other than Antonio himself.
The sandstone amulet gleamed in her hands, like a memory that showed her the last moment in the Pokemon world, how her heart was hurt once again and then, the giver gave her the gift of a chance to live and find happiness in another world, which was exactly what happened, but the one who gave her this gift never mentioned that she would have to fight here.
- he could have been more direct. She said Sisi to herself, then she heard the familiar voice of her own heart telling her if she would decide to stay home if she knew she would have to fight in this world.
- stupid, I'm stupid, how can I say that. She told Sisi to strike hard with her claws and paws against the steel wall which was suddenly opened, Sisi waved her red tail disappearing from the peephole taking in the sight of a small white mouse and a certain agent in civilian clothes sitting there in the hall with picture walls, seeing the white mouse marching along the cobbled floor, pulled out a bottle from his torn coat and threw it into the trash.
- Enough, I'm not drinking anymore. Said the agent, angry with himself.
Sisi rushed out into the streets in front of the big Spodek, a famous attraction in the city of Katowice, Spodek was the arena of red events, from sports to music and culture, but that wasn't what interested her but the valley of three Ponds and her great fight which she was now fighting.
- if I knew what I would have to do here, what I would have to fight, I would have passed through the gates of the worlds anyway, I would have done everything as I already do, for him, Antonio, without you my life would be so empty and sad, I would do everything, everything, even if I had to die, I would do everything. Sisi shouted strongly and loudly, but in the form of a little mouse none of the passers-by had ever seen the owner of that charming and strong voice.
Sisi ran through the streets, through the city guided by the knowledge she had acquired through the illusions of the woman in the blue dress, she knew where and how, and in less than half an hour she reached the Valley of Three Ponds, where the green and red of autumn were bathed with the dusk of the approaching night and the sky full of stars.
It was here that Sisi clenched her claws tightly on the ground and spat out a powerful beam of dark disks from her mouth into the abyss of water, casting the power of illusion, taking her original form of white Absol, for a moment only silence could be heard, well maybe apart from the scream of a certain man who, seeing an unknown creature, ran like crazy returning home, with terrifying screams, finally the silence was broken, a red saucer slowly began to emerge from the water with four spinning disks, at the very top of the saucer there were reinforced steel windows with glass through which Sisi saw with her super vision two figures, one crazy, and it was Mandulin dressed in a black robe, but the other full of hatred was Vera, her two pigtails stood high again like devil's horns.
- I am as you wanted, I am waiting!. Sisi shouted and the time for fighting had just begun, fighting and diplomacy.
L
In this whole story, everyone is currently taking this whole thing too personally, the agents, the Lombax mercenaries, everyone, what will this lead to, a tragedy?, because it is known that someone like the men in Black cannot afford to be weak, and treat things on such a level, they cannot, they must not, but as they rightly stated themselves, they are only human.
