Kazuya did not believe in Rocket’s vision of the future. In truth, it differed little from the current world. The biggest change was the size and holder of the boot against their neck. Still his debts to the organization needed to be repaid. Fortunately, he found today’s target repugnant. The man reminded him of a bug—eyes made larger by his thick bifocals. His body quivered like a woman’s purse Yamper as he backed away from Kazuya. [break][break]

“You—you’re with them, right? Rocket?” The snitch licked fretfully at dry lips. The guilt had already been eating away at him.
[break][break]
The mercenary did not speak. His head merely tilted to one side. His gargantuan form’s shadow eclipsed the quivering man. As people often did on missions like this—trying to pad the silence—he began to yell. “Now, look! The League wasn’t going to let me not tell them. Either way, I’m a dead Ducklett! Please.”The begging then turned to chatter about his wife and daughter. Using children like shields—even figuratively—was distasteful. If you chose to make a deal with the devil, you had best uphold your end of the agreement.
[break][break]

Kazuya’s expression did not change. Behind him, his Bewear towered with both fists balled into dangerous projectiles. Its obsidian eyes were narrowed to slits. At its foot, the man’s Kecleon lay in a crumpled heap. Though its eye was bruised, it would be allowed to live. It was not responsible for its trainer’s dishonor. As to the man himself, Kazu had not yet decided his fate.
[break][break]

A heavy boot thudded as the mercenary took a step forward. His head tilted back to its original position. The traitor backed up until he was pressed against the door. “Mercy! Please!” For a moment he looked hopeful. Kazuya paused as if considering the request. His hand came to rest somewhere on his waist. Then, he spoke for the first time. “No.” Two hands reached up to grab the man by his collar and leg.
[break][break]

With a grunt, the man tossed him through his picturesque bay window. The curtains rippled with his exit. Glass showered the ground as Kazuya stepped over the sill and into the street beyond. Golden eyes lifted to a pedestrian. Those metallic eyes said many things, but most importantly: ‘This is none of your concern.’ A heavy boot landed on the man’s chest with a thump.
[break][break]

Panicked mossy eyes turned toward the approaching trainer. “HELP ME! Please!” Kazuya sighed. “This—this lunatic just attacked me!” A wooden Electrode joined his trainer as Kazuya tossed out a ball. It began to pulse in warning.

[attr="class","kazu2"]It seems the Metagross was thought deterrent enough. The path ahead was clear. The distant lights draw quickly closer. Occasionally, Kazuya throws a glance back over his shoulder to Ryker. It is unnerving that the guy’s face never changes. It’s like a statue. “Looks that way.” Then, the path ends. Below the League officials look like ants.
[break][break]

The center of the camp seems to be drawing their attention. Rising above the tent is a multi-colored rock. It looked like everything else he’d seen down here, but he’d guess it was pretty special. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have wrapped it in a fence.
[break][break]


Natsu pops his claws into place. His needle-sharp teeth drop into place as he prepares to drop down on the unsuspecting trainers. It reminds him of his daughter’s recent obsession with Drop Komalas. A hand lifts to his belt, ready to pull another ball. “Ready when you are.”

[attr="class","kazu2"]On the surface, it almost makes sense. People loved words like equality. Heck, it’d be nice if he’d had the same start as the rich kids up the street in Lavaport. But then the cracks in the tale become visible. “Pretty sure that’s just anarchy with extra steps.” And, last he checked, no one was stopping them from doing that now. The termites just had a hive to defend themselves.
[break][break]

The Mamoswine backs out of its tower entanglement. Wires and metal tresses wrap around his head like some steel magnate’s crown. It turns to face its trainer with indecision in its eyes. “Chase em off.” Kazuya pauses to close the young woman’s eyes. If he had alcohol on him, he’d have poured a glass out. After a moment, he rises to his feet. “Peace be with you.”

[break][break]

Out of the corner of his eyes, he sees Unown begin to crowd his elephant. Its tusks batter them out of the way, its teleportation tricks a lot harder on something the size of an SUV. For a moment, he pauses to watch Xenon wreak her own brand of destruction. “And you’d be okay with that?” A bloodied hand reaches for his boot, streaking it red. Judging by the fact that half the soldier is gone, there’s only one kindness here. “Starting over?”[break][break]



Natsu crushes the man’s head with a powerful Hammer Arm.

[break][break]

He might not want them to die, but he could make sure they did it well. As he stares out at the sea of destruction, he sighs. He’s heard a lot about these guys. They’re made out to be the next apocalypse. But under all that is just people. “So much for DARK.” Maybe the mythicism around these guys was bunk.

[attr="class","kazu2"]Golden eyes shift to Mint. There’s a wrinkling at his lips—the beginning of a frown. [break][break]
Still, that does not make him incorrect. There is no point in hesitating when you’re halfway across the river. It is perhaps that order that drives him to close the gap between him and Hideo. That or his inborn impatience rearing its ugly head.Regardless of why, there’s a shirt in his hand and a kid dangling from it.
[break][break]

They’re retreating. Good. That is what Kazuya thinks as he sees the Glaceon disappear. If the navy-haired boy wanted to continue
[break][break]

He sees Noel charging at him, but he makes no move to run. “Misa!” The squirrel darts forward in a blaze of sparks, aiming to disrupt the other man. Kazuya plants his feet more firmly. The precipice they’re on could be disastrous if he shifted out of the way. His real goal isn’t to hurt this boy. It’s to make them think he would. A grunt pushes past his ruined tongue as Noel’s shoulder collides with his gut. “Nnnh!” Allowing himself to fall backward, he does his best to cushion both his and the brat’s fall.
[break][break]


There’s no real force applied as he lets Noel tear the kid away. Before he can decipher what the two are saying, the hairs on the back of his neck pick up. He can feel the charging Techno Blast beginning to charge. Turning to the Emolga, he nods. As the pair reach for the Elygem, Kazuya follows his boss’s leads and starts forward. “Volt Switch!” A sparking disc rockets toward the retreating pair—a parting, warning salvo.[break][break]

When the pair fade from view, Kazuya chuckles. He misses the real version’s warm timbre. “I must be getting soft.”

[attr="class","kazu2"]The woman’s words earn another acknowledging nod. That belief reminded him of an oxen, plodding forward across a barren field. If such beasts had the temperament of hibernating bears. But the Tauros did not plow for its own goals. It charged forward because someone cracked the whip. Not content to deem her crazy, the mercenary tried again. “I’m referring to the destination, not the path.” Certainly, these people were opposed to them, but that did not explain why she forced her way through.
[break][break]“Unown?” Kazuya laughs. Golden eyes probe the distant settlement, but he does not see any sign of those creatures. “There are only so many letters, Miss Xenon.”
[break][break]
Unown looked like something he could break with his teeth. His lips perk upward as he pushes himself back to his feet. Her orders seem sound, and he knows better than to argue with a woman like this.
[break][break]
“Understood.” A quick roll of his shoulders and he’s bolting after her. As to objections? “The plan’s simple enough!” He shook his head. “I will just be the one drawing fire.” As the larger target, he figured they’d fire on him first. From that distance, Xenon looked pretty harmless. You couldn’t see madness that far. Dropping his hands to his belt, the mercenary races forward.
[break][break]

A Seed Bomb explodes at his speed. But with a quick wipe of his face, he’s off again. For a big guy, he’s pretty nimble. Two of his party members join him as he flanks in. First is his Magnezone, Konsento. It draws in the metal projectiles fired, sending the bullets back in a haphazard spray. Second, is a giant wall of jolly Mamoswine. “Destroy the wall!” With the Magnezone acting as a shield, the pachyderm charges in. The structure shakes as one of the snipers teeters on her perch.
[break][break]
CRACK! Her neck snaps on impact. As he looks to the East, Kazuya cannot help but think her lucky. Something told him Xenon liked to play with her food.

Giant Chasm: Explore - Kazuya/Ameena

[attr="class","kazu2"]The giant man listened to Ameena with polite interest. His hand gently explored the length of the sensing rod. It was heavier than he expected. “I see.” His attention would have already wandered in his younger years. ” That Kazuya seemed almost morally opposed to instructions. If it came with an instruction book, it’d be the first thing he’d throw out. Golden eyes shifted toward the chasm. “It seems were are in the clear.”
[break][break]

When indicated, Kazuya set about the work. After a moment, he found a spot for the sensor. Putting his strength to good use, the mercenary had it standing tall. Whatever calibration it needed, well, he’d leave that to her. His ham hands weren’t made for delicate work. “That should do it.” Some deep, manly instinct made him thump the thing. It gave a resonant gong as he stepped away.
[break][break]

There he found a glittering coin. A token of good fortune, perhaps?
[break][break]

He took watch as he gave her a few minutes to do her part.
[break][break]


As their conversation turned to the gloves, Kazuya moved to imitate Ameena’s movements. He laid his hand against a dark purple crystal. Within it, strange shadows raged. The dial on his wrists jumped up for a moment before dropping into normalcy. Her words of concern ended his premature wonder. “?” Even Natsu—trying to replicate the glove’s power with his paws—jerked up his head in surprise.
[break][break]


“What’s—” The rest of the noise from his modulator was drowned out by the sensor behind him. Eyes narrowed with determination, Kazuya gestured up the path. “Go!” He’d handle this. [break]

[attr="class","kazu2"]The opposing trainer took the paperwork in one hand. He flipped through it idly, reading enabled the slight glow in his Metagross’s eyes. After turning another two pages, he handed it back to Ryker. It was pretty obvious he didn’t know what to look for. “Thanks, Mister Swallow. Everything seems to be in order.” The gloved hands reached out to Kazuya. Like his companion, he had false documentation.[break][break]

That didn’t stop him from holding his breath. To him, this stuff was as convincing as a fake ID. After another faux check, the young man set those back in the grunt’s hands. Kazuya grunted his thanks. “You two sould be all set. Let me call ahead.” Then, the young man made the mistake of turning around. Like a viper, Kazuya struck. He grabbed the Pokeball at his belt to return the Metagross (the guy had been nice enough to label it). [break][break]


An arm then wrapped around his throat until the kid lost consciousness. The young man’s fighting didn’t have much effect. Kazuya was more wall than man. After a few kicks, he felt the man go limp. He’d wake up fine later. But there wasn’t much point in accompanying him to HQ.
[break][break]

Gently lowering him to the ground, Kazuya nodded up the path. “Let’s go.”

[attr="class","kazu2"]Kazuya turns to stare at Noel for a moment. A few taps at his side and his ‘voice’ cracks out again. “What Rocket stands for?” This idea that both sides are monoliths is amusing. Some League members were idealists. Others were corrupt assholes. Some sought out nothing less than complete genocide. His robotic laughter joins Mint’s. The idea Rocket was the only side that needed to be monitored. What a load of bullshit. “And who watches you?”
[break][break]


A scold draws embarrassment from the giant man. His dark skin pinkens, its color the only thing stopping it from being neon. The mercenary nods. “I’ll show more restraint.” While the Earthquake had been a quick solution, it seems to have triggered more seismic activity. Which kind of took the wind out of Misa’s sails. Still, the Wooper is eager to join the fray. The giant bug thing is awesome! It deserves her help!
[break][break]


Waddling on her two back legs, the water-type throws its head back. After a moment of gargling, it hacks up another ball of mud at the Glaceon. It’s hoping to blind it somewhat. Hopefully enough to make it miss a giant, purple wall.
[break][break]


The Emolga drops back to the ground. It stares defiantly up at the Espathra. Kazuya moves to shove it aside. Sorry kid. Knowing the cavern’s existence is likely to come, the mercenary seeks an easier end. All of this fighting is likely to get somebody killed.
[break][break]


With a tense expression, he reaches for Hideo’s shirt. If successful, he’d move to lift the kid up and dangle him like a cat toy.

[attr="class","kazu2"]After years of barfights and aggression, Kazuya tries not to start unnecessary fights. He knows plenty of men whose lives ended over a comment about an ex-girlfriend or a bet. So, he stands down. But there’s a shake in his hands. Something that might be interpreted as anxiety if his eyes weren’t so fierce. Sure, this kid didn’t torture him, but he was part of that same cruel machinery.
[break][break]


A deep breath returns the mercenary to his center. For once, Ryker is the first to speak. His words are neutral without any hint of malice. We do not look like scientists. The Metagross seems unconvinced. Its golden eyes narrow as it lets loose a noise of frustration.
[break][break]


Keep talking, friend. A hand reaches up to the scarf around his neck. He lowers it slightly, revealing a nasty scar. Though he doesn’t call attention to it, the opposing trainer catches it. Though Kazuya can’t read minds, the cannon fodder likely assumes where it came from.


Some nasty terrorist who tried to slit his throat. Heh. If only he knew.
[break][break]
The trainer’s hand moved to his irritable Pokemon’s side. The steel-type shakes his head. Behind his helmet, he chews on his lip. “Can I see some documentation?”

[attr="class","kazu2"]The strap passes easily into his hand. “Mm!” He’s surprised by the weight but quickly adjusts to it. Muscular mitts curl gently around it. As the scientist speaks, he makes no move to interrupt. His muteness taught him the value of truly listening. People revealed a lot when they were given a chance.
[break][break]

An ivory brow goes up. What volatility lies in the dead? But he does not question her. She’s the scientist. Most days, he’s just muscle. A guy whose value lies in his intimidating presence. As she finishes, the man nods. “Very well.” Hopefully, they did not destroy any more test subjects. These creatures were strange and wonderful. Alive, they could likely unravel many mysteries.
[break][break]


If the bird’s beak grew too close to the bug, it’d have received a stern slap in the beak. The spider was subterranean. It did not know what he was. His skin color was not too different from the stalagmites that dotted the cavern. It did not deserve to be eaten. Neither did the bird deserve a nasty, potentially fatal shock. They were here for a job, not to indulge in snacks.
[break][break]


Golden eyes would stare down the bird for a moment. Then, he would smile. His mind goes back to friends lost, many of them feisty, disobedient assholes. “They can.” His speaker blurs out. “It just takes—” Patience? Empathy? Respect? “Time.” He finally settles lamely. As she speaks, he stares at the device in his hand. Kazuya turns it over as if he’d be able to understand something just by looking at it.
[break][break]


“All right.”
The white-haired man nods. He does not ask why cameras would not be easier. “How does it work?”

[attr="class","kazu2"]This girl was…interesting. Her body seems to have seen many battles. Her personality meanwhile, reminds him of a small, bitey dog. A total terror in a package that didn’t seem to fit. “I won’t.” Doing so wouldn’t get his jacket back. Besides, he had more than one of those things. All week? That sounds dangerous. Perhaps it was a lack of sleep making her behave this way? The frontier of the future? “What are you after?”[break][break]

Hm. The way the girl cracks her neck gives him the creeps. It reminds him of a doll in a horror movie. Perhaps an angry Banette. But it is her implications of humor that make him pause. “Mm.” The man took a shaky breath. “It was not a joke.” He knows the cost of war. And that death could be the kinder, preferable fate.
[break][break]

The rapid way these Paradox Pokemon heal holds his attention for a moment. It is a truly wondrous act of science. Something he’d call magic in a different life.[break][break]


And, at the end of the day, most people fought for a reason. But, perhaps this girl was right, most deaths were the result of self-preservation. There was little time for idealized thoughts in battle. After trying to come up with a fitting response, he merely nods. It did not seem as if he could change this woman’s mind.[break][break]


Checking to make sure his Pokemon follow, Kazuya begins the journey to the base in the distance. As they draw near, his eyes catch on a beacon of light. His eyes widen. “Get down!” The concerned shout is quiet, toned down by the device at his side. A big hand reaches to tug Xenon down as the Zap Cannon tears through the air above him.
[break][break]

It seemed they had a fight on their hand. Good. They could do it her way.
