Eons United
Chapter 3: Mission Search, Steal, and Destroy
Leon continues to stare at the paper with a somewhat scared look on his face. “Wh… why would… why would the Kanto government want to destroy itself?” he asks. “ 'The Kanto government had elected a new leader. His name is Elk Gomez. He was a good leader for about two years. He then started making weird decisions. Chaotic ones. A few cities in Kanto were destroyed.' ”John falls silent as he lets the information sink in.
Leon shook his head. “I heard something about that. Something about three truckloads of missiles going off in the city, I think. They said that is was a freak accident though.”
John shook his head. “No, that is what the government used as a cover up. Elk had purposefully set those missiles off. He wanted to destroy those cities, for they would put up the biggest fight against him when he tries to take the world over.”
Leon looks at John like he was crazy. He then starts laughing.
John looks horrified.
“What in heavens name is funny about this?” Leon answers while still somewhat laughing. “This is like some crazy teenagers stupid story. A super evil person tries to take over the world using his amazing power. Then somehow the hero, who has no idea what he is doing, comes and somehow, against all odds, defeats the evil person and saves the day. It is like a children’s story. Except in this case, the evil person is this Elk dude, and I guess I am the hero. It is so stupid.”
John suddenly punches Leon across the face as hard as he could. Leon is somewhat lifted off the ground by the force of the blow. He tries to walk but he then trips over his feet and falls. John stands over him with a very angered expression on his face. John’s normally dark black hair was a bright purple. His eyes had gone from a sleek blue to a dark, dark violet. He then speaks in angry clipped sentences.
“You think this is STUPID?!?! People will DIE because of this, and here you are making fun of this. You make me SICK. I thought you would take this somewhat seriously, but laugh at it? You will not be the hero of this if you do something like this again.” John then raises his fist as if he was going to hit Leon again, but stops and walks away angrily.
Leon is as surprised as he is hurting. He never expected a HUMAN to be that POWERFUL. He puts a paw to his face but immediately pulls back as his cheek burns in pain. He gets up. He then begins to think about what exactly just happened. Man… He was really upset. I guess he has a right to be. I was a jerk. I laughed at what happened. I am a jerk. I should apologize. He then walks over to where John is looking at a computer screen with different stuff that Leon didn’t understand.
“Ummm….. John?” he asks quietly.
John doesn’t look at him but answers gruffly. “What?”
“John, I am sorry for laughing. I really shouldn’t have. It wasn’t right of me, and I am sorry.”
John thinks for a moment. He sounds sorry enough. Maybe I can forgive him. This once.
John then turns to face Leon. “Apology accepted. Ever do something like that again, and I swear you will pay.”
Leon can tell from the look on John’s face that he is being serious. “I won’t, I promise.”
John backs off considering that to be good enough. "Alright. Now I believe we should show you the battle plan." John then pulls up some blueprints of a factory on the computer screen he was looking at. "This is the factory that holds the information for the weapon. Now, you and your team are going to have to enter here." He points to an entrance on the print. He is about to continue when Leon holds up a paw to stop him.
"Wait, wait, wait. Did you say team?"
John nods his head. "Yeah, why?"
Leon shakes his head. "No. Not a chance. I work alone."
John gets an annoyed look on his face. "You don't anymore. You are going to be working with a team of four others. Speaking of which, I shall introduce you to them." He then pulls out a radio. "Alright, you guys can come in."
Then four other Pokemon come in. They are a Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon, and an Espeon.
John speaks up again. "Leon , I would like to introduce you to your new team. The Jolteon is Thor, the Vaporeon is Adam, The Flareon is Joeseph, and the Espeon is Flora. Everyone this is Leon, your new team leader."
Then Joeseph steps forward with an angered expression. "Wait, what? I have been the leader of this team for over seven years, and you expect me to give up my post to some kid who probably has never had any leadership positions in his life? I think not!"
Leon steps up looking ticked off at this. "What? You think I won't be able to do this? Then you are wrong!! I can be a leader!"
Joeseph’s expression says that he believes that this complete and utter nonsense. "I would like to see this. I really would."
Leon puts on a determined expression. "Then you will see it."
Joeseph storms off, leaving Leon glaring at the back of his head.
John clears his throat to get the other's attention. Once he got it he started speaking. "Alright. Now I am going to continue. So, you are going to enter through the secret entrance here." He points to the blueprint again. "The weapon plans are in this room here. They are guarded by laser guided chain guns, which, if tripped will fire about four hundred rounds to where the laser was tripped, which could give you a chance to get out of the way if you have enough momentum. Then there is a code locked door, which will set off an alarm if the wrong code is put in two times. Then there is a retinal scanner, which will not let you in without the correct eye scan. Then the actual plan itself is guarded by two guards. They will probably be heavily armed. Of course getting in and actually getting the plans will be the easy part. As soon as you grab the plans, an alarm will be set off, triggering hundreds of guards to start pouring out at your position. You must avoid them and somehow get out of the vault room.”
Leon then rolls eyes slightly. “Wow, is that all? I don’t have to go blow up a building with my bare paws or something?”
John just glares at Leon and continues. “Then you have to get out of the building and return the plans to me, understand?”
Adam, Thor, and Flora snap to attention, standing on all four feet, and all say unanimously, “Yes sir! Orders are understood completely sir!”
John then nods at them, which seems to be an invitation for them to leave. John then turns to Leon, sighing. He has a tired expression on his face. “Look, you have twelve hours to get some R&R, then you must be fully ready and suited up. Your uniform is in your room. Your uniform is vital, for it will give you a direct link to me from the glasses and amplifies your dark powers to an enormous scale. There are a few other knickknacks that it has, but you will get a briefing on that tomorrow. Now, go get some rest, you’ll need it.”
He then motions to a human guard that suddenly appeared next to him. “Show Leon to his room.”
The guard nods and salutes to him. He then motions to Leon to follow him. Leon takes one last look at John, then follows the guard to a door at the back of the large room. The guard quickly opens the door which leads to a short, wide, hallway. He then speaks in a bored clipped voice. “Your room is the last door on the left.” He then turns around and heads to another door on the other side of the room.
Leon watches him disappear behind the door, then turns to the hallway. There were six doors on each side of the hallway. They were all a dark grey, which stuck out on the hallway’s white paint. Leon starts to walk down the hallway, his mind on what had just happened, so he didn’t notice when someone opened the door on his face. The door knob happened to be at the perfect height for his face and hit him square on his nose. He yelps and jumps back, swearing. The person that opened the door was the Espeon, Flora. When she notices what she did her eyes grow wide and her mouth opens in a surprised O. She then shuts the door and walks up to him.
“I am soooo sorry! I really didn’t mean to! Are you okay?”
Leon just growls and rubs his nose. It was bruised, but not broken or bleeding. “Yeah, I’m fine. It’s okay, it happens.”
Flora smiles a nervous smile. “People always tell me to open doors slower. I guess I should start listening huh?”
Leon smiles slightly. “Yeah, I guess.”
They just stare at each other awkwardly for a few seconds. Flora breaks the silence first. “Well, you had better head off to bed, you’ll need the rest for tomorrow.” She then smiles at him and starts to walk off. She stops halfway to the door and turns back to him. “Hey, ummm…..if you want to, after the mission, we could go for a steak dinner together or something. A little mission successful dinner, you know.” She then quickly walks out through the door and shuts it behind her.
Leon just blinks, surprised at what just happens. He then smiles as he stares at the door she just used and mutters, “It’s a date.” He then goes down to the room that would be his for the night. He checks the door, which he finds to be unlocked. He opens it and walks in. It is pitch black inside. He feels around blindly for a light switch. He can’t seem to find it and gets annoyed. He lights up his rings, casting a dim golden light on the room. He quickly finds why he couldn’t find the switch, for it was about a foot above his head. He hadn’t thought to look above him, for his apartment had quadruped friendly rooms that had the light switches much lower than at a human apartment. It seems that this place didn’t have the same extras that the apartment did.
Leon then looked around the room and was slightly surprised, for the room was very empty. There was a bed with a sheet and a blanket on it. To the side there was a toilet with a curtain to give some privacy. That and a closet to the side made the entire room. Leon walked over to the closet and opened it. There was a thin, black, and skintight full body skintight suit in it. The thing even covered the head. Leon took it down to look at it, confused to how you would get in it. He then noticed the zipper on the back. He quickly hung it back up in the closet, bored. He went and jumped up onto the bed and lied down, tired and confused from the things that had happened to him in the past few hours. He tries going through them in his head, but there were so many things that his head just couldn’t take it. He started getting a migraine and gave up trying to sort things out.
I’ll just try and figure things out in the morning. If what John and Flora said was true, then I’ll need my sleep for this job, he thinks to himself. He tiredly gets up and walks to the light switch, and turns it off. He then goes back to the bed and jumps back up on it. He quickly gets under the covers and before he knows it, he is asleep.
