weeks went into this. calculating the altitude, their size, weight, wingspan, the standard range of vision from sootopolis, and how quickly they could execute the assault and get out without interference. in this regard, fernando had been meticulous, second only to his porygon. together, they managed to draw out the schematics, factor in the various variables, and test run the situation continuously via simulation. however, what boiled past all these calculation was something neither of them could ultimately control. execution. what they needed was absolute perfection. which meant precision. there's little room for error and success hinges on being able to provide a performance that remains within the narrow crevice that is their margin of error. that means no victims, no damage beyond their original purpose. they're here for one thing.

sootopolis' gym.

it had taken them nearly a month to finalize an operation that would not last more than a few minutes. it's this kind of dedication that makes fernando successful. the same drive that comes from being a self realized narcissist. it all comes together perfectly to conceive the revenge of a man wronged one too many times.

between glances at the surveillance monitors she plucks away at the keyboard of her own laptop. all that time in the hospital put her behind in her work so she's forced to do a bit of multi-tasking from time to time. still, the job he's made for her that leaves her sitting behind his desk takes precedence. when she hears his voice she quickly double-checks the maps and cctv footage before giving him her response.

a pair of dots intermingle with the others in the sky, blending in with the shadows cast by the pelipper that are native to the island. they're nothing but black specks against the sun, blinding anyone who dares stare up into the sky. it allows them to go unnoticed. it allows them to sit aloft, up several thousand feet. waiting. lazy in their descent, allowing the air currents to rustle underneath their wingspan. it's a slow glide from here. all that's left is to hear the orders.

"visual on the target? when the sight is clear commence operation super nova."

at his prompting she scans the surveillance footage in front of her. she processes the information from them quickly, but not sloppily. practice has made her skilled in a way she'd like to believe is hard to rival. it takes only moments to give him an answer to his question, and she smiles knowing it's the one he likely wants.

the clear is given and the awkwardly placed ear piece on garchomp's head is shaken off. it won't survive the descent. not at this height. and it's all intentional. they can't afford to have loose ends, anything that can allude to the fact that this was organized by a third party. the league will assume but they'll have no confirmation. it lets him pin the blame solely on rocket. it lets him escape unscathed.

fernando isn't one for loose ends and that's why he requires such a high elevation. the descent downward is one filled with fervor. the rush that comes with their velocity makes the pair quiver. it only gets rougher from here. their bodies unfold and the air resistance becomes nonexistent. their innate aerodynamics allows them to surpass the speed of sound. they're jets, hurdling down with a piercing sonic boom.

1,100...

900...

700...

500...

sootopolis comes into view. their target is visible and only grows larger as they approach.

300...

250...

200...

they're in striking distance now. together, they muster their draconic energies, tapping into their latent powers, bringing forth the extent of their inner strength. they don't dare attack yet, prioritizing accuracy over raw destruction. they have a target, after all. and this is all about sending a message.

100.

a perfect round number is the trigger for their attacks. DRACO METEOR erupts from their maw, splintering off into a concentrated array that bombards the sootopolis gym. each fragment rips into the building's exterior, tearing through it like paper. each impact is felt by the city, razing it in tremors and terror.

this is just the start. nikolai will have no chance to rescue his gym. there'll be nothing left by the time he comes back.

if he comes back.

that'd require surviving. something that doesn't seem too plausible considering his situation.

and, with that, they're out. final operation time? a minute and thirty seven seconds. the resounding roar of their takeoff is the last thing anyone will hear from the duo of dragons. they quickly find out that they're too preoccupied to pay the events a thought, much too busy dealing with the ongoing fire and aftermath.

operation: success.

-------

-------

the explosion is their cue. in order to enact his vengeance without repercussions there needs to be a fall man. who better than rocket? it doesn't hurt that he has something they want. Queen . it's been two weeks past her scheduled 'execution' date and they're getting antsy. the information about the facility and their entry path has already been delivered. it's up to them to carry it out. fernando cares little for whether they find success.

he has bigger fish to fry.

let's go.

kerrrr... psshhhhhh... kerrr... pshhhhhh...

...

His arrival to Sootopolis wasn't quite the most convenient and leisurely one. Having to board one of Rocket's incognito dinghys to approach a safe distance close to the the city's perimeter, it was now time to dive in, quite literally. With his all black scuba gear worn over his regular clothing, Lucas took a deep dive underwater.

kerrrr... psshhhhhh... kerrr... pshhhhhh... keerrrrrr... psssshhhhhhhh...

The sound of bubbles produced by his scuba gear with each of his breath was the only thing he could hear. The underwater scenery was rather soothing, such a contrast with what chaos they were about to instigate. Suddenly, the water visibly rippled violently up above near the surface, wildlife began to scutter away from the direction he was approaching. The light piercing through the ocean turned the hue of the underwater scenery from a clear blue hue to that an orange hue in a flash. Looks like it started.

Reaching the right area, Lucas slowly rose to the surface. Now peeking with the top half of his head above the water, Lucas gave what limited smile he was able to do beneath his mouthpiece. The gym, together with the immediate area unfortunate enough to be around it, was torched.

He didn't know what anonymous group was responsible for the orchestration of this incident, but Lucas did know one thing for sure.

He'll sure as hell add to it.

What was up with this? First Logan was assigned to explore some ruins, and now this? When would Team Rocket give him a break? And yet, Logan couldn't complain so much. After all, he was given an important mission today. A mission that would make or break Team Rocket's future career.

"Alright Team, listen up!" Logan turned to look at all of the Rocket members that had come with him for this very important mission. "A few days ago, a Rocket Grunt was detained by several league members. Her knowledge and skills were very useful in the development of Team Rocket. Just when we thought that we had lost one of our important grunts, a message came in."

Logan held up a digital notepad and showed everyone the message that he was mysteriously delivered. So that members could get a clear vision of the message, he passed the pad around for everyone to see.

"I don't know who it was that sent us this message," Logan said, continuing his briefing. "But it's more than likely something that we can't ignore. This represents the possible salvation of one of our key members, so like hungry fish, we have to take the bait... However, that does not mean that we are going in foolishly. We are the recovery group. It will be our job to go in and rescue our target. There will be an extraction group waiting for us if things get hairy. Hopefully, everything will go off without a problem."

With that said, Logan nodded to everyone. "We protect the world from devastation," he said, beginning the famous motto of Team Rocket. "We unite all people within our nation. We denounce the evils of truth and love. We extend our reach to the stars above... Team Rocket will blast off at the speed of light. Let none surrender. Let all feel our might!"

With that, Logan hopped from the Rocket branded humvee that everyone had compacted into and burst towards the front door of Sootopolis Prison. While he briefed everyone on what was going on, they drove to their quarry's location. Now that they were here, it was time to cause trouble.

Logan typed in the code that he was given by the mysterious messenger. With great surprise, the doors actually swung open. They were now free to storm inside.

The operation could commence.

Quinn was actually scared. This was not just another heist, or recovery mission. They were storming a prison to recover what seemed like a core member of Team Rocket. She had volunteered for the mission, but was surprised when she was chosen from those who had. She didn't know whoever they were getting personally, but that wasn't going to stop her from doing her best.

When the pad was passed to her, she looked it over carefully, but quickly handed it off to the next person. It was strange, but she would trust in her higher ups if they trusted the message. She hoped that their operation was a success, though she thought little of her own personal performance. So long as she didn't cause problems, that was good enough for her.

When their team leader began the Rocket Motto, she recited it with him, as she expected all others there would do, "We protect the world from devastation. We unite all peoples within our nation. We denounce the evils of truth and love. We extend our reach to the stars above... Team Rocket will blast off at the speed of light. Let none surrender. Let all feel our might!" Though some thought it just a catchphrase, she wholeheartedly believed it.

When the doors opened, she leapt out, stumbling a bit, but she kept up with the group, and pressed against the wall, waiting for the door to open, and rushing in after her Team Lead, no doubt the rest of the team following close behind. Getting separated here would be as good as a death sentence as far as she was concerned.

This was Jordyn's first big mission. A time to really prove her worth and stand out amongst Team Rocket. She had missed the chance to attend the mission earlier that month and was almost glad she did. She had heard through the grapevine about the captured grunt and although she did not know her, she knew it was of vital importance they get her back. Logan looked to be at the head of the mission. She had walked past the tall handsome blonde a couple of times, but the two had never really spoke to each other. He was incredibly good-looking and Jordyn couldn't help but ogle him as he addressed the gang of grunts with confidence lacing his voice. She couldn't help but smirk at the own dirtiness of her mind. One day she would have to make the first move and get to know him a little better. That went for all the members of team rocket. How was she ever going to rise in rank of she didn't make allies; she would need many if she was ever to rise to the rank of boss.

Jordyn didn't really bother to read what was on the pad, only glimpsing at it as she pulled her shades down to skimp through the text. She honestly felt that there was either on their side or had ulterior motives. Now was not the time to ponder the who, what, when, nor where. They had a mission to focus on and Jordyn wanted to be focused. She had already let Logan invade her thoughts, now she needed to focus back on what she was there for. Her voice fell into unison along with other grunts as they recited their anthem. Jordyn voice rung out in pride as her eyes glittered and her chest puffed out while the words slipped from her puffy lips. She knew the anthem by heart - her father would always sang it with her almost like a childhood nursey rhyme. She was bred to be Team Rocket through and through.

The operation had commenced the moment Logan pressed into the passcode and the doors parted like the Red Sea. A swarm of grunts flooded into the prison like a well-tuned army. Although Jordyn halted immediately as one of the grunts, a young blonde haired girl started to 'morph' with her pokemon. It was unlike anything she ever seen outside of Power Rangers and an odd sight indeed as the girl's pokemon clung to her body like an armor. A tri-attack soon followed from the girl as the attack blasted three cells open, freeing the inmates inside. A grin spread across Jordyn's cheeks. She liked her - she had guts.

Jordyn clutched for her pokeball inside of her bedazzled fanny-pack that was wrapped around her waist. She tossed the pokeball in the air, activating the release function. The ball popped opened, spitting out a red beams which morphed and formed into Bahamut. The Zwelious let out a loud hiss as he stretched his wings and sniffed the air expectantly. Jordyn had briefed all her pokemon in on what their mission was. She knew this was Bahamut's very first mission and she just hoped he didn't try to make a meal out of any of the other grunt's pokemon or the grunts and prisoners themselves. She had wanted to have Apollo by side as well, but at the moment did not want to crowd the halls and make it hard for them to make an easy escape. "Bahamut, stay close. We're freeing all females. One of them has to be Queen." She instructed the dragon as she ran down the halls, looking inside of each cells for a female on the other side of the bars. Every cell she crossed with a woman inside, she instructed the dragon to use Dragon Rush to destroy the metal balls containing them.

[Occ: Bahamut the Zweilous out as of now. Using Dragon Rush to free female prisoners.]
