Chapter 6-Help from Militaristic Trouble
Lucario and Knuckles looked around the darkness of Angel Island. It was a quiet, warm night and this was the perfect setting for thieves to come out and try to take the Master Emerald. Lucario thought he would show his appreciation to Knuckles by helping him with his Guardian duties since the echidna let him stay on the island. Nothing of this night would hint at any trouble that Sonic was currently seeing in his sleep, until Knuckles noticed a light flash not too far off.
"What was that?" he asked with growing concern.
Lucario was just as concerned. "I don't know…give me a minute."
His red eyes shined briefly and as he closed them, he saw the scenery black, white, and blurred, save for the running image of Shadow which was glowing in a blue, smoke-like light. In the distance skies, Lucario saw a line of red light coming in their direction and it caused him to stiffen as he opened his eyes.
"I saw Shadow and something else coming from the skies. My aura-sight indicated an enemy, or perhaps many," he reported to the Guardian with a frustrated sigh.
"Great. Intruders now. Just my luck…"
It was then Shadow crashed through the jungle in a panic!
"G-guys! T-the…" he tried saying but he was short on breath.
Knuckles jumps to his feet and ran over to his friend who was catching his breath. "The what? Out with it, Shadow!"
The black hedgehog managed to breathe deeply before shouting, "THE MILITARY'S COMING!"
"WHAT?! GUN's coming?! Here?! Why?!" the echidna asked in deep shock but the older one just shook his head.
"I don't know! Rouge was talking to a friend of hers about Lucario on her cell phone and the next thing I knew, the commander issued an order to take him to be researched in a nearby lab!"
Lucario soon started shaking out of fear. He did not want to be treated like some sort of lab animal. He heard stories about these sorts of things from some Pokémon who escaped from one of a few regions of his world full of humans, and some of them did horrible things to them in labs.
Knuckles noticed him shaking. "I don't blame you at all!"
The Pokemon looked at him in surprise. "Y-you don't? W-why?"
"Some of us know how it feels," Shadow replied, remembering his earlier days in his life back on the ARK. "Trust me!"
Soon they heard a sound the never wanted to hear. A loud buzzing sound of many helicopters and soon many came and landed in the areas around where the three were standing. Many soldiers wearing gray uniforms came out of each copter and surrounded them, pointing and cocking their guns. Another soldier came out in front of the army, with many medals on his jacket.
Lucario guessed this one was the commander and his guess was true when Shadow spoke up. "Commander! What's going on with all of these soldiers?! Lucario's harmless!"
The older human didn't look convinced. "How can you be so sure, Shadow? One of my scouts saw it attack Dr. Eggman and cause Sonic to disappear. It is a dangerous creature!"
Shadow just shook his head in hopes to try to reason with his superior. "No sir! Sonic's disappearance wasn't his fault! I know this because he told me!"
"So it's male, my mistake. But still-"
"'But still' nothing, Commander of the Guardian Unit of Nations, or GUN!" An unfamiliar female voice soon sounded around them and they tried to look for the source. "What Shadow says is true! Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, is harmless! Sonic's disappearance was caused by spirits of his world requesting help!"
The Commander soon got frustrated at this point. "Who said that?! Show yourself!"
The mystery voice soon giggled. "Sure thing! Kleo, Aura Sphere!"
A blue sphere of light that exploded near the Commander answered the call.
As he was sent sprawling and the dust cleared up afterwards, they all soon saw who was responsible as she jumped down from a tree. It was a female, aqua-coloured kitsune with three tails and blue eyes behind a pair of dark blue glasses. She was wearing a tank top with a rainbow pattern, khaki shorts that was held up by a belt decorated with six Pokeballs, magenta and yellow shoes, white gloves and socks with a black ring below the cuffs, a small, silver hoop earring on the upper part of her left ear, and a magenta hair tie in her ponytail. She also had a brown staff that had a pink orb on top with a yellow star and a magenta and purple ribbons hanging down in her right hand. The one called "Kleo" was a female Lucario that had a ying-yang pendant around her neck that was black and white and was standing to her left.
"Light Trainer the Spellcaster Kitsune is here! I'm not only an expert elemental spell caster but I'm also a cool Pokémon trainer!" she introduced herself before turning to Shadow, Knuckles and Lucario and added, "You guys could just call me 'L.T' for short if you'd like!"
The Commander looked even more angry as he brushed himself off and shouted at her, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS! Why did you get your creature to attack me?!"
L.T now looked at him in annoyance. "Number one, she's a Lucario like the one you're trying to capture and number two, the reason I got Kleo to attack you is to GET SOME SENSE KNOCKED INTO YOUR THICK HEAD!"
He was soon on the ground again at the shout with an "Ow."
She soon calmed down a bit as she turned away from the soldiers. "Now then, is everyone alright, except for mister Thick Head Commander here."
A soldier flinched at this and said. "Oooh! That's gonna hurt his pride."
Another soldier flinched and commented with "I agree with you."
"Quiet, you two," their boss said, getting more frustrated with the kitsune that has been insulting him all night as he was getting up and brushing himself off again.
Kleo soon turned to her, looking un-amused. "Light Trainer, we must explain our presence here more clearly."
L.T soon raised her hands in exasperation as she said, "O.K, O.K, Kleo! You win in this!"
She turned back to the boys. "The reason why we are here is to rescue Lucario and to help him and Sonic's friends get a clearer understanding on why he's gone. But I CAN'T do that if there's some STINKIN' SOLDIERS here EAVESDROPPING! Hey, Knux! Wanna have some fun bashing these guys with another one of my Pokémon?"
Knuckles smirked as he started to crack his namesakes. "If it's to get them off my island, sure!"
L.T gave a wider smirk in return. "That's what I like to hear! Kicker, YOU'RE ON!"
She soon took out a Pokéball from her belt and trough it up into the air. It soon opened up and from the white light inside came a brown Pokémon with long legs, large feet with three toes that looked like spikes, and long arms with hands that had three fingers and the beige and black stripped bands on the forearms makes them looked bandaged. It also had black eyes, a curved head and was no bigger than an average-sized human.
"Meet Kicker the Hitmonlee! These guys are known as 'Kicking Fiends!'"
All of the soldiers soon dropped their weapons in fear at this! "KICKING FIENDS!?"
Kicker looked like he was smirking with his eyes as he said " That's what she said! Now you wanna make something of it with me an' the echidna?"
Knuckles soon added despite them shaking their heads, "I'm ready when you are!"
They soon let loose a flurry of punches and kicks that it didn't take them long to scare them off the island with a cursing commander as well as damaged weapons and a collection of bruises.
Afterwards, Kicker was still doing a few kicks for the heck of it. "Whoo-wee! That was the best fun I had in a while!"
Kleo gave an annoyed sigh. "You must calm yourself, or else you'll be exhausted too quickly!"
"Aww liven up a little, Kleo! You're such a worry-wart!"
"O.K you two, enough," L.T said to stop the argument before turning to Lucario. "Are you alright, Lucario?"
He nodded. "Yes, I'll be fine now."
She looked relieved as she said, "Cool but I'll have Chance take a look at you! Come on out!"
Light Trainer opened up another Pokéball to reveal an average sized pink and cream coloured Pokemon with small dreads, a rounded tail, and large blue eyes.
She soon gave a bow. "Hello there everyone. I'm Chance the Audino."
"Chance, can you look at Lucario in case the soldiers harmed him in any way, please?"
"Of course!" the Feeling Pokemon replied as he looked him over then said, "He's alright, Light Trainer! Not a single bruise!"
"Cool! Thanks Chance! You can stay out a while!"
She soon looked to the horizon at the sunrise. "Man, this place is beautiful in the rising sun!"
Lucario seemed to agree with her silently. The sun did start to rise over the ocean and add a sense of peace and tranquility. There was one thing bugging him, though.
Lucario seemed to agree but something still bugged him. "You mentioned something about us having a more clear understanding of Sonic being in my world. What is it?"
Knuckles and Shadow looked at her in agreement but she only gave a laugh. "Don't worry! I'll tell you guys in due time!"
Now there is a new friend! And Sonic have seem to seen it all in his sleep! Wondering why? It will be revealed soon!
X-X-X
Author's Notes:
O.K due to MULTIPLE requests by fans and the fact it's a new year I decided to not only give one but THREE chapter updates to SMD-RV! (The last chapter was one I thought I posted before Christmas but didn't.)
And this ends the easy bit.
FANS: WTF!? That was the easy part?!
Yes because for the remainder of the even-numbered chapters I need to do MAJOR changes to incorporate Kitsuno Village to replace the castle concept from the original and, of course, the new Mobian Trainers.
The odd-numbered chapters that are in Sonic's POV will be revised the usual way so don't worry!
Now then I did make some MINOR changes to this fic, other than the style and grammar fixes. One thing is my own namesake OC Light Trainer the Spellcaster Kitsune, I lengthened the hair fur in the back recently, as some has seen in my DA comics and pics, so now she sports a ponytail held by a magenta hair tie.
The other thing is that originally she had a Chansey named Chance but I changed her into an Audino to try to include more of the 5th and 6th gen Pokemon since playing Black 2 and Pokemon X more lately.
The original only went up to Gen 4 since it was during that gen I started this story.
Other than that, everything else is still the same...including the Commander-bashing! XD
