"do you hear that?"
the sounds of despair: blood-curdling screams echo through the vacant woods, bouncing off the steel walls of the warehouse as they ricochet inside, forcing its occupants to hear the terror. dahlia goode is tied to the chair; that has not changed since the day she was brought in.
in front of her, the rocket boss stands. he soon starts circling her, like predator to prey: slowly and meticulously.
"that, commissioner, is the sound of defeat." a step takes him behind her. "not for me, but for you. and do you know why?"
the answer is simple.
"because your officers are no different than us." he's handed a tablet by an admin that stands guard. one tap of the screen brings up a replay of the scene.
what the rescue team doesn't realize is that there are cameras strung up on nearby trees, hidden within the thick foliage of greens that captured every single detail of what transpired.
including the burning of the two victims.
"that's not self-defense. that's murder."
look at the facts: two men, drunk off their minds, were approached by a party of six in the dead middle of night. it was hasty of them to react with violence, sure, but the media has its ways of spinning things. what's important to the story is that they don no uniform that tells their allegiance. all that's left of them are their charred remains, their belongings, and their pokemon.
that, is the story the media will have.
"the morals you set for your faction were just spat on, degraded like those men they burned alive. they used their pokemon, commissioner. do you remember how kanto fell? why i was able to conquer as quickly as i did?" he smiles. "because i was not afraid to use my pokemon as weapons."
"which was the very thing your people once condemned and fought against. you fucking hypocrites."
he places the tablet in her lap and taps it once again to switch displays. she'll be able to see a split-screen of four different cameras: two outside the warehouse, one further out, and one inside.
"remember to forgive yourself."
he takes a step away and calls out his noivern.
"goodbye, dahlia."
-----
number one mistake: splitting up.
Thomas Benoit and @natsu breach by the skylight that hangs overhead while kyle lopez enters through the front, all armed and at the ready to save their beloved commissioner.
it won't be that easy.
silas might not be here but his pokemon are. the ELECTRIC TERRAIN from before surges with volatile energy as a luxray stands CHARGING. the dark clouds above aren't natural, no, not by any means; they are an accumulation of what happens when luxray has the luxury of CHARGING for a while.
and finally, at the same time as Thomas Benoit and @natsu breach, the dark clouds DISCHARGE a strong burst of lighting that strikes right at them as they slide down the cable. the sudden zap causes the rope to burn and tear, ultimately snapping. for whatever reason, @natsu will find herself being affected more by the electricity than Thomas Benoit. the two of them will be left to react to the sudden surge of electricity that will most likely hurt them, and also the fall to the ground.
but that's not the only source: from the luxray itself comes another jolt of DISCHARGE, this time aimed at kyle lopez as the door swings open. his tyranitar is up front as a SANDSTORM picks up, but this DISCHARGE is more volatile and precise in nature. it flies underneath the tyranitar, in between its legs and strikes kyle lopez in his right leg, rendering it, and maybe more, numb and useless.
the rocket admin doesn't budget from his spot, standing right next to dahlia goode with a pistol in his hand. he hasn't aimed it yet; his demeanor is calm as it looks like he's assessing the situation.
nothing comes for Laurence Anderson or Stormy Silph outside yet.
luxray is the rescue team's first obstacle.
what will they do?
» DISCHARGE zaps at a few people. don't forget to consider impact, conduction, and aftermath of being shocked.
» the people outside are safe for now ^-^
» dahlia is tied up and gagged in the chair near the back of the room, away from the entrance and skylight. the admin stands next to her.
» no rolls are required anymore. |
