Chapter 3

Besieged
Chapter 3
By Mecha-Mightyanador



Mecha: *grumbles, bandaged up tight* Hello and welcome viewers.
Rika: *sparks, glaring at Mecha, though she too is immobilized by bandages*
Inferno: When we last left off, Azur and the others had just fended off an evil creature created by the evil group.
Sky: Which begs the question of how on earth they could have done such a thing?
Blaze: They probably stole the technology from Biogen. They just got lucky in obtaining the DNA of a legendary.
Death: Which means...if there's one legendary infused freak...
Ferra: *covers her mouth, seeing the logic* There must be more.
Tia: Don't worry Ferra. Our kids will teach those jerks a lesson. And no legendary hybrid will stop them. *pats the floatzel's back*
Ferra: You're right Tia.
Sky: Oh Mecha...how's Jewel doing?
Mecha: *looks away, blushing lightly* She's doing well, so it's a normal pregnancy.
Bane: That's good. Will they be born with metal plates in their head? *chuckles*
Mecha: Har...har...you're so lucky I can't blast you.
Bane: I'm not worried in the least. I'm sure you'll forget all about me in favor of something Rika does.



The sun gently came down upon a clear lake, the quiet of the surrounding area giving the place a serene atmosphere. Azur giggled happily, looking across the water, "Hey guys, what do you say we take a little break?" She looked to the others.

The tentacled and winged siblings all agreed to the suggestion, Mako giving a small nod rather than the cheer of his sisters. Rein and Cryst also voiced their consent of the idea, the chu saying how a break was a nice thing even for one as great as him. The comment quickly had Blair pluck him up and throw him in the water. Taze just mumbled quietly, unlike the others, he didn't have any real love for the water. Even Azur loved swimming, unusual for fire type, but spending time with the parents of the winged siblings fostered that love.

Taze's mother and father weren't like any of the other parents though. Both didn't like the water, thanks to their type, one being a fire the other a rock. Still...he didn't mind lounging by the lake, absorbing some sun while the others had fun in the water.

Rein popped out of the water, grabbing onto the shore, "not...funny Blair!" The chu grumbled, looking to the buizel girl. She just giggled, leaping over him and into the water, followed by Derra. Mako leapt in and quickly took off in the water, patrolling it to make sure nothing hostile was going to bother them. The others slowly got into the water themselves, short of Flint and Taze, who both opted to relax nearby, the absol napping while the quilava watched the others, his eyes constantly falling on one in particular.

A splash fight soon erupted, water being launched towards all of the water bound mon, with the exception of Mako who was drifting in the water, relaxing after seeing nothing dangerous was in the water. The male buizel did occasionally open an eye to see how the conflict was going, and he wasn't surprised that Derra and Blair were doing much better than the other 3. He chuckled, "Idiots." He stretched, and went back to lounging.

Taze stretched out, still watching his friends enjoying their splash fight, though he really couldn't understand why. After all...who liked getting water hit in their face...aside from a plant type? He placed his thought out of his head, as he saw that Azur, Rein and Cryst were losing the conflict. Thinking he decided to help her...them...out a bit. Focusing, his eyes started to glow blue, as the splashes of the three suddenly got more force. Though the two winged siblings couldn't understand why, Taze snickered quietly, helping Azur and the others turn the tide.

Mako cracked open an eye, and was a bit surprised to see his sisters losing the fight now, the other 3 managing to unleash some pretty impressive splashes. He wondered how they were doing so good, but shrugged after a few seconds, not really caring. He was about to resume his relaxation, when his eyes caught sight of a nearby cave. Eyeing the formation, he swam to the edge of the lake, and got out of the water. He quietly padded his way up to the entrance of the cave, peaking his head in.

Taking a few sniffs, who could tell no one had resided in this cave for a long time. Believing it safe he went inside a bit, and noticed that there were relics of the caves old denizen. A pile of logs that had been part of a fire, but hadn't been burnt to ash yet, and close to that was a pile of bones from various fish. He easily connected that whoever lived here must have liked cooked food. He chuckled to himself, knowing very well how good cooked meals were. His father, when he was still evil, had eaten it while serving the demon serpent Orochi.

His father had shown his mother how good cooked food was after the parents of the others found the two. Mako remembered that shortly after the experience, his mother had been kidnapped...which was how his father had joined the others in the first place. As Mako understood it, his mother had had an amazing impact on his father...giving him something that he had never had before. The buizel sighed, smiling lightly. He respected and admired his father, and hoped to be like him...and to find a Ferra of his own. Though...a little less embarrassing he mused, since his mother had a habit of calling his father a humiliating nick name.

Mako continued to explore the cave, finding two different beddings. He surmised that there had been a guest not long before the cave had been abandoned for whatever reason. He continued to look around, but after finding nothing else of interest, he left, his curiosity satiated. As he left he didn't notice something scrawled into the wall of the cave, covered by shadows as the sun wasn't in position to reveal it. The writing was clean, as if made by an air cutter...and it read "Ferra's Home". The way it was written betrayed that the writer either valued the home, or the person who called it home.

A weavile slowly approached the throne, kneeling before the figure in it. "Master."

"Report." The figure spoke. "What did you find out?"

The ice/dark type looked up to his master, "From what I gathered from the locals around the area...it was a group of eight mon who entered and left the domain of specimen 245-067-254." The figure's eye rose as the scout continued, "According to the witnesses...it was a houndour, absol, 2 poochyena, a Pikachu, 2 floatzel, and a quilava."

The figure relaxed, "I see. Then they shall be disposed of quickly."

"Umm...my lord there's more. These individuals had some peculiar appearances."

The figure looked to the weavile, "Such as?"

"The houndour was of a shiny coloration." The figure was about to berate the cretin for the useless information, "the quilava was of black and grey coloring. And apparently he was seen to have purple fire." The figure stared at the scout, who continued, "the buizels and one of the poochyena possessed dragonite wings, and tentacles. And the absol was also observed to be in possession of a sword."

The figure sat motionless, thinking deeply, "Action has to be taken immediately."

The scout looked up, "My lord...why? They are a bunch of children. They merely got lucky when facing..."

"There was no luck!" the figure rose, "Those so called children...are a threat to my power!" the dark figure began to pace back and forth. "I had thought that that group of pokemon had stopped traveling about...I didn't expect their children to take up their cause!" the figure stopped, smirking, "But...they don't have the same experience. Tales aren't told of these eight...it will be so much easier to destroy them." A cackle rang out, "And I think I know just the way to destroy them. You!" the scout bowed, at attention and awaiting his orders, "You've got a message to deliver."

*****

A scream filled the air, though that was already choked by smoke and the smell of blood. The source of the scream, a young woman, feel to the ground, blood coming from her mouth in raged coughs, as she clutched the wound in her chest. Within moments her eyes glazed over, and the deliverer of the blow stepped over her body.

A gallade, clad in armor that covered his arms, legs, and torso, along with a helmet with a missing visor, looked over the scene. A small human town had been the target, it sat next to a mine that was filled with resources that would assist the war effort of his lord. The gallade peered over the chaos and blood shedding, as more of the townsfolk were cut down, their homes set on fire. The glow of the flames made dancing shadows over the warrior's eyes, one red the other blue.

~Such is the fate of those who resist the master.~ he thought, as he moved on to destroy more of the humans. As he passed by the corpses of children, men, and women, he didn't blink, his eyes constantly searching for townsfolk.

"Same as alwayssss Garland?" a seviper entered his sights, a smirk on the snakes face.

"What do you want Lamie?" he replied.

She gave a hissing chuckling, "I was nearby, and I thought I'd see if you heard the newsssss yet."

Garland blinked, "News? What are you talking about?"

The seviper gave another hissing chuckle, holding her blade tail over her mouth, since she lacked any paws. The action also showed off that the edge of her tail was not the normal red, but blue like a shiny seviper's, though the rest of her body did not have the same altered coloration. "You haven't heard? Apparently our master is very unhappy about the fate of that sssssuicune hybrid."

Garland scoffed, "of course he is...such a valuable specimen was worth quite a lot to master's war effort. The loss of it will surely hinder progress."

She shook her head, grinning, "Oh no. It's not that it's dead, but rather who killed it. You are aware of that band of heroesssss that traveled around and defeated so many evil forces...yesss?"

Garland scoffed once more, "Who hasn't? Destroyers of Biogen. Slayers of Orochi. And banishers of the Brotherhood of Shadow. What about them? Have they appeared?"

She shook her head once more, "Oh no...they haven't appeared. But their children have. Master is worried that they'll be just as problematic as their parents though." She grinned evilly, "They are even reported to be headed straight for Koshi castle."

Garland looked to her, "And you've been just transferred there?"

She snickered, "Oh yesss. I have indeed."

The gallade rolled his eyes, "I suppose you'll be happy to be at your old home."

Lamie gave yet another hissing chuckle. Her parents had been loyal servants of Orochi, and she would have joined them in service after a few years, had it not been for the interference of that band of heroes. Luckily her parents managed to escape death, and they brought her along, while she was still an egg, with them to a new home. "Oh yes...and I'll be very happy to test my skills against those foolish young ones." Though the truth was she was only a bit older than the eldest in the group.

Garland turned and headed back to his task, "Just don't fail the master Lamie. He deserves absolute success...and should you fail to supply that...I'll kill you myself."

The seviper chuckled more, watching him go back to slaughtering the villagers. "So scary Garland." She rolled her eyes, "but an idiot like you wouldn't stand a chance against me." She slithered off towards Koshi castle, grinning to herself, "I especially hope to test my skills against one of his children. Orochi had given him so much praise, and his actions at the end were so amazing...I wonder if his pups will be just as strong." She snickered.

*****

The dark figure sat upon his throne, rapping his fingers against the arm rest. His thoughts revolving around the new revelation. ~I can't believe all 8 of them had children...and strong children too it would seem.~ he smirked, ~But...that was just a lone hybrid. And it was of suicune, hardly a powerful legendary. There are plenty of other specimens...and far worse...are my genius plans.~ A dark evil laugh filled the chamber, ~I'll not be stopped...by anyone...especially a group of runts pretending to be heroes.~

The familiar human figure approached the throne than, "Master. I have prepared them as you wish. Specimen 249-289-065 and specimen 377-213-411 are ready to be dispatched."

The figure held up his hand, "Not just yet. I want to see how my plan plays out first." He smirked, "But don't worry...you're pets will have their chance soon enough."

Azur sighed happily, looking at the fire as night came on. "Well...we might have lost half a day, but I think it was worth it." The others all nodded, smiling, even Mako and Flint, though they kept their smiles small.

They munched on some dinner as they sat around the blaze, silence giving calm harmony to their evening. Taze looked up at the starry sky as he finished his meal, enjoying the sight of so many celestial bodies, their dazzling sparkle bringing beautiful life to the sky. Azur noticed him looking up, and followed suit, trying to see what caught his interest. Then she gasped, seeing a shooting star, making the others look to her, than to where she was looking. She closed her eyes and made a wish, ~I wish I had a handsome knight in shining armor by my side. Just like momma had.~

When she opened her eyes, she saw everyone staring at her, "It was a shooting star."

The others all chuckled, understanding her excitement now, "You're so lucky Azur!" Blair called out, chuckling, "Getting a wish all to yourself."

The houndour chuckled, "Not my fault the rest of you were too slow. Except for maybe Taze." She looked to the quilava, "You wish for anything?"

Taze blushed, though it was mercifully hidden by his fur, "Yeah, a little something. It...wasn't much." He was crimson in the face, thankful his fur and the darkness that wasn't repulsed by the fire hid it. ~Just that...you'd see me the way I see you.~ The others chuckled, and enjoyed the rest of their evening, before settling down to get some sleep.



Mecha: Awww...that's so cute. And oh no...there's so much danger.
Bane: *is hanging by the sealing* I'm going to kill you over and over Mecha.
Rika: Well you did have to open your big mouth Bane. Did you forget he's got his little girl friends here? Just because they aren't right in the head, which is the only reason they could like Mecha, doesn't mean they can't fight.
Mecha: *grumbles* You're lucky I'm still recovering rat.
Rika: *scoffs* You're lucky I can't shock your fugly ass.
Inferno: Anyway folks, ignoring the...uhh...how did the saying go...oh yeah. Peanut gallery. We see that my little girl is wanting to be like her mommy.
Sky: *giggles* She can't go wrong asking for an Inferno of her own.
Ferra: I like this chapter...short of those evil jerks. *looks to Inferno* You think your kids will be okay with that Lamie character?
Inferno: Please...she's young, no way she'll be as good as Flint or Azur.
Death: For their sakes I hope you're right. And I'm worried about those two specimens.
Blaze: Death's right...given the last one, we can guess what makes up this one. And that's not a good combination for the kids.
Tia: I still stay our boys and girl will be just fine. You lot worry too much.
Mecha: Maybe? Maybe not. We'll find out later though. Till than readers...chow!
Chapter End Notes:For those wondering why this was so long, shortly after posting chapter 3 on Fur Affinity my machine died. I was more preoccupied with that so I forgot to update the story here. Sorry.

But I recently managed to get my data back so Besieged is back on schedule and you can expect Ch.4 later today
