Episode 19 - Dark Depths: Firefight
I let out a scream of pain, pain originating from my heart. All of my life was a lie, not even the Kuhn name is not mine. And Lucifer, he must have been a Zangoose back then and he took me from my mother for his own advantage. My entire life I was looked upon as a tool for the Anriu.
Then I remembered what Lucifer said, "He is the one... the one who has a soul pure enough to hold both of feuding realm's abilities, the Anriu and the Guardians abilities at the same time, he has what it takes to be a Guardian Sentinel... AND an Anriu Dark Lord... but we must let him choose his destiny, if pressured, he will become weak..."
The feuding realms, the Anriu versus the Guardians, I have heard that before, but I believed it all to be a myth. Then it hit me, back in the Kuhn clan, my friends were talking about the feuding realms and what happened to start it all: When the universe was created, many dimensions were created as well and they all masked over Earth making it the carrier. Earth is known to hold over 1 million different realms, but only 3 are able to cross over to others but never Earth, the Anriu, the Guardians, and the V'rixxa.
This is how the Anti-Pokemon war started, the Anriu have devised a portal to cross over into Earth itself, the Guardians or the V'rixxa have yet to discover how to transfer themselves to Earth as well so they were unable to stop the Anriu. They began to create chaos in the world, alarming all of the continents. Then the Pokemon were all blamed for these chaotic scenes, the death of 300,000 people in the Hoenn region in 1 week, all originating from Ever Grande city.
The Anriu created this war and they are to blame for all of this chaos.
Going back to present matters, I lifted my head to see exactly what I saw in my vision, the same background. The desk and hospital bed only moved a little to the left and the other objects in different places. It was hard to imagine my mother giving birth to me in this very room, so long ago before this place turned into hell itself.
"Jherek... are you alright?" Lindsey asked, slowly approaching me, kneeling down, and rubbing my head.
"I... I was born here..."
Suddenly Lindsey's gentle strokes turned into a rapid push down to the floor, "Get down!" I heard her scream as I heard a gunshot coming from across the room followed by Lindsey's screams of pain. I turned around quickly to see her holding me down with her right arm and holding her wound with her left hand originating from her stomach, I did not see blood though.
"Lindsey Ryans... what the fuck did you do that for?!"
2 PEF soldiers stood halfway inside of the door across from our path, all pointing their weapons at Lindsey and me. "Jared... I have had enough of killing these innocent Pokemon... and you two should be too" Lindsey responded, struggling to breathe as she still pushed me down to the ground. I began to have trouble breathing in that position so I pushed up a little and took in a deep breath.
"Tired of it... tired of it...?" Jared started, "We're protecting this word from those demons and you should be too or you will be considered an enemy to the PEF. Do I make myself clear?!"
I turned around and looked at Lindsey who had her face scrunched up in pain when she looked up at Jared and that is when I saw hesitation from laughter. "What...?"
Lindsey sprung up from the ground and threw the bullet Jared fired towards the soldier accompanying him. It stabbed his left eye causing him to cover it and scream at the top of his lungs while stumbling around backwards until he ran into the wall. I jumped up and fired my rifle several times at the blinded soldier, his blood shot all over the wall behind him and dripped down with his body. Jared quickly jumped back and shut the door he entered through as I turned my attention to him. "Rogue PEF Prism loose in the area, Lindsey Ryans is now a traitor, kill if present"
I turned towards Lindsey in confusion, "What... how... what did you... how did you... did you just catch that bullet?!" I stuttered.
"Hey, hey, I lost my left hand lo-o-o-o-ong ago" she showed me her left hand, and indeed it was not real, it looked like a glove at first but she had one of those mechanical operating hands, impressive devices I had to say. Plus, Lindsey's acting was excellent for she even made me believe she was shot by that PEF soldier, Jared.
"Come on Jherek, we need to start moving before their reinforcements get here!" Lindsey yelled.
"Right...!"
We both left the room and ran down the hallway from where we were previously going. We took a sharp right and ran down some stairs. When we reached the bottom my jaw dropped down in awe. This place really was bigger than I have ever imagined. There was a small train sitting there in front of us on a rail suspended almost 50 feet above the ground, it overlooked so many vaults and chambers, and it seemed Constantine had not been here yet, no blood stains on any part of the wall by what I could see.
"Okay, once we get inside the train we'll have to move through Vault 6E, that is where they keep all of the Eevees, some other Pokemon too but only if they have contributed something worthwhile to this place, but don't take it lightly, it is still a big place and inside Vault 6E it will still take a while to find your comrade. Then after all of that, we need to try to stop the PEF soldiers who are going to detonate this place..." Lindsey explained as they slowly and cautiously moved towards the train.
Inside was surprisingly warm as I sat down on one of the train interior's many seats and just relaxed while the train began moving toward the Eevee Vault.
Lindsey sat across from me looking at the floor. I decided to ask her why she was going to such lengths to help me, it was very unusual for someone, especially a PEF soldier, to risk his or her life to help someone they don't even know. Then again, I should have asked Cameron this question as well.
"Well Jherek..." she started, "When I agree to something, I'll never go back on my word and I'll never leave someone who needs my help" she gave me a friendly smile and formed her mechanical hand into a fist, "... that's my way"
I returned the smile, this girl was just like Cindy, the personality and even the looks were identical.
She flipped her ponytail around to even it out then she rubbed her forehead with her right hand.
From the distance, gunfire was heard suddenly, I ducked down on the floor as well as Lindsey. She crawled over to the window behind my seat and poked her head up a little just enough to see what was behind the glass.
"Shit... PEF soldiers and Reanimes... 14 PEF and 6 Reanimes I think"
"Reanimes, what the hell are those?" I asked as I got on my knees, my tail rotating back and forth, "Reanimes, Re-animated, whatever, I like to call them Reanimes, but they are humans who were infected with Nectodaphilia, the disease that causes you to come back from the dead, it used to be called 'Solanum' but whatever..." she explained, pointing her rifle near the window, firing, breaking the glass, and opening fire on the distant soldiers and Reanimes as did I.
Looked like they finally found us, the PEF soldiers returned fire, still keeping their distance from the Reanimes. I sprinted to the front of the train, firing randomly out the window as I ran.
A bullet hissed back my face and that is when I decided to slide down to the floor, "That was close... I even felt the wind on that bullet..." I jumped back up but I ducked under the glass, running a little less quickly.
"Lindsey, how long 'till we get to the Vault?!" I yelled from across the train, "Uh... ahh!" before she answered a bullet flew past her and hit a pile of magazines places on one of the seats behind her, "... I'd say we got 2 minutes by how fast this thing is moving!"
"This train was moving way too slow, there is always something wrong isn't there..."
I jumped back up, aimed through my scope, and took down one of the Reanimes looking like a scientist except with charcoal skin and very bad coordination, "See, I'm trying to help you guys!" I yelled, holding both of my paws in the air, one of the PEF soldiers looked at me for a few seconds then began to fire, causing me to jump back down, "Well... that's not gonna work"
Sparks began to fly everywhere as the bullets collided with the metallic objects in the train which was under too much fire and it was not created for battles, it started to slowly deactivate, the lights inside dimming down and flickering.
Suddenly there was a halt forcing me the opposite way, the doors slid open while a computerized voice announced, "Destination: Vault 6E reached, have a nice day..." then a barrage of bullets came through the train, breaking almost every window, "Fire in the hole!" Lindsey yelled as she unclipped a grenade and tossed it out of one of the open windows, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, get back!" one of the soldiers yelled in the distance. The sound of 12 boots running away was heard, then a loud BANG followed by dirt and dust flying through the window as the light flash created by the explosion faded away.
"Jherek, let's go!" Lindsey ordered as I jumped right through the open window right in front of her while I exited like a normal person, through the doors.
"Wow... she took out all of them with that single grenade..." I whispered as I found all 12 of the soldiers collapsed on the floor along with the rest of the Reanimes.
Lindsey sprinted towards a small computer near the Vault door, she quickly typed in the password: "ANTI-POKEMON" and the huge, metallic doors slid open. I prepared to move inside when something tackled me from behind, I quickly elbowed it in the face and that is when I noticed I hit something very wet and soft. I turned around to see a Reanime roll away from me, jump up and climb up the wall.
"Kill that mother fucker!" I yelled, trying to get Lindsey to help me for she was just standing there and watching me as I randomly fired at the Renime, getting a few hits on him and watching him fall to the floor, his limbs and bones dislocating and breaking as he hit the floor.
"Awesome, let's move out!" Lindsey ordered as she sprinted inside of the large Vault that greatly resembled the many hallways I have traveled through, "Thanks for the help..."
Once I took my first step inside I saw a very small orange figure in the distance, "... could it be...?"
It was, Sparks had just appeared before us, and there was someone behind him. I could not even imagine the possibilities of this, but Cameron was behind Sparks, they were both alive.
"Is... is this a trick?"
"Whoa, hey buddy!" Sparks yelled from a distance, "Y-y-y-y-y-yup, that's definitely Sparks"
"Sparks, you know Jherek?" Cameron asked.
"Yeah, we started this whole rescue team!" Sparks replied.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, PEF soldier, Jherek!" Cameron yelled, pointing at Lindsey, "Oh, no, no, I'm a friend!" Lindsey responded, once again un-equipping her rifle and kneeling down just like what she did with me when I first found her.
"Jherek, you're traveling with her?" Sparks asked, "Yup, she's friendly, she's also helping me with the mission, we could use someone like her" I replied.
In the corner of my eyes I saw that I made her blush, I don't know why, it wasn't even much of a compliment. Maybe it was the "She's friendly" part.
"Roger!"
"Wait a second... how did you guys even get here?" I asked, "There's another entrance into this place" Sparks replied. I did not bother to ask Cameron how he got out, maybe Constantine was just playing another mind game with me or something at the moment, I'm just glad to see that he is okay.
Suddenly there was a loud bang then the sprinkles of tiny objects falling to the floor, "Oh no..."
"Hehe... finally you all get to see my fighting style" Sparks bragged, suddenly disappearing identical to the way Kuimon disappears when he goes out running faster than the speed of sound. Lindsey aimed her rifle forward while Cameron and I positioned ourselves into a battle stance.
Though I was expecting PEF soldiers, I was surprised to see Reanimes charging us from the hallway to the right in our path all in white overcoats. Lindsey opened fire on one of them while Cameron let out his Flamethrower and I let out my Icebeam. My attention was directed to the Reanime I was already striking, I did not see the one climbing on the side of the wall towards me, but once I realized, it was too late, he was too close for me to do anything.
"W-w-w-w-watch out!" Sparks gave a heroic cry as he reappeared right in my face, pummeling the Reanime with a Volt Tackle right into the wall, killing him. He was moving faster than anything I've ever seen besides Kuimon which was incredibly impressive.
I jumped up as Lindsey finished off her opponent and took out the one I used my Icebeam against concluding with a reload.
"Get the fuck off of me you retard!" Cameron cried as his opponent somehow broke through of his Flamethrower and tackled him. He grabbed the Reanime by the neck and bashed his head against the wall several times and dropped him to the floor, "Boo-yah mother fuckers!" he cried as he did a little victory dance.
"Holy crap, Sparks... that was just plain ridiculous" I said.
"Yeah... I'm just plain awesome, aren't I?"
"Hey, what about me?!" Cameron yelled, "I just annihilated that bitch, don't I get any respect?"
"Hehe... cut back on the cursing and I'll congratulate you for that" Lindsey whispered, petting him on the head a little and walking up forward.
Lindsey and I began to laugh while Cameron stood there silently with the Reanime's dead body near him, "Shall we continue?" he started in an annoyed tone, "... before we are attacked again?"
We all walked forward to a large door labeled, "24J" Lindsey typed in the same code into a different computer system and the door opened revealing 4 chambers holding Pokemon inside, none of them were Eevees so everyone just moved out of the way except me. I was surprised to see a Zangoose in Chamber 3, female by the look of it. I walked inside and looked at the name icons on each one of them.
1. Grovyle - Female: Jenny Lirkinia - Deceased
2. Machoke - Male: Barstal Piiran - Deceased
3. Zangoose - Female: Xana Anoxiian - Alive
4. Pigeot - Male: Yerrin Oriaan - Deceased
I looked closely at the female Zangoose, Xana. Closer and closer, her sleeping eyes resembled mine and her face almost resembled mine as well. Then suddenly I shut my eyes automatically, I was having another Instincts moment.
I envisioned the same tragic occurrence that had happened earlier, where I realized that I was taken from my mother by Lucifer. But I saw the female Zangoose once again, she looked exactly like the one in the Chamber, everything was the same.
"Xana... we have come for your child..." a voice whispered, "... we have come for your baby... Jherek..."
My vision ended, I hit the ground, staring up at Xana I now realize that she is my mother, the Zangoose in the Chamber before me was really my mother. "Lindsey!" I yelled as tears of joy flew out of my eyes. She came sprinting back with Cameron and Sparks close behind, "What, what happened?!" she yelled in concern.
"This... this... this is my mother" I whispered, trying to hold back more tears, "Please, unlock her from her Chamber, I beg of you!" I pleaded, bowing before Lindsey, "Your mother, wow, did you just find her at random?" Lindsey responded as she typed in the code: "Anti-Pokemon" into a computer attached to my mother's Chamber.
The clear doors slowly slid open, letting my mother out. She fell out, everyone gasped as I caught her. Her body was disturbingly light as if she has not eaten in so long.
"Mom... mom...?"
She slowly opened her eyes and stared into my face, "Merciful heavens... Jherek... is that you...?" she slowly asked, her voice was a bit altered by being in that Chamber for so long, "Yeah mom... it's me..." I whispered.
"Thank the heavens you are still righteous... thank the heavens you are not a part of the evil Anriu..."
I squeezed my mom, burying my face in her bosom and began to silently cry, "Mom... I can't believe I am actually here with you..." I whispered as more tears fell out of my eyes, soaking my mom's white fur.
"Aww... Jherek... you have grown so much... it is like looking at an adult... tell me, how old are you now?"
"Hehe... I'm 24 mom"
"Sweet heavens child, you are an adult and I have missed your life, I am so glad you turned out so courageous and sweet... and are all of these kind people your friends?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am, I'm Sparks"
"One of the top 5 Strategists in Miir Cyraa, Cameron Kiddoo, pleasure to meet you"
"It is amazing that we found you here, I am Lindsey Ryans former PEF Prism but converted to Pokemon Defender. I have to say Jherek has to be one of the bravest Pokemon I've ever met and I'm glad something very good happened to him on this stressful mission of his"
"Heh... Commander Kiddoo, I know you... I've heard of you. You started out as a criminal working for your master and somehow moved to being one of the smartest Pokemon of all time, it is truly a treat to see you here, and Sparks is it? Very cute name" my mother said in a gentle voice.
"My name is not cute, it's fearsome!!" Sparks yelled as he did when I told him the same thing back at the Elite Force HQ.
Everyone laughed at him. His voice was still too light and squeaky to really be taken seriously but that speedy Volt Tackle he used earlier made me respect him even more.
It was such a happy moment for me, so very happy, after all of these years, after all of this time, I now know my real birthmother, and now I am glad to say that my name is no longer Jherek Kuhn, Zangoose of the Anriu, it is now Jherek Anoxiian, redeemed Zangoose of the PDF, my true identity.
Then I remembered what Lucifer said, "He is the one... the one who has a soul pure enough to hold both of feuding realm's abilities, the Anriu and the Guardians abilities at the same time, he has what it takes to be a Guardian Sentinel... AND an Anriu Dark Lord... but we must let him choose his destiny, if pressured, he will become weak..."
The feuding realms, the Anriu versus the Guardians, I have heard that before, but I believed it all to be a myth. Then it hit me, back in the Kuhn clan, my friends were talking about the feuding realms and what happened to start it all: When the universe was created, many dimensions were created as well and they all masked over Earth making it the carrier.

"Is... is this a trick?"
"Whoa, hey buddy!" Sparks yelled from a distance, "Y-y-y-y-y-yup, that's definitely Sparks"
"Sparks, you know Jherek?" Cameron asked.
"Yeah, we started this whole rescue team!" Sparks replied.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, PEF soldier, Jherek!" Cameron yelled, pointing at Lindsey, "Oh, no, no, I'm a friend!" Lindsey responded, once again un-equipping her rifle and kneeling down just like what she did with me when I first found her.

The clear doors slowly slid open, letting my mother out. She fell out, everyone gasped as I caught her. Her body was disturbingly light as if she has not eaten in so long.
"Mom... mom...?"
She slowly opened her eyes and stared into my face, "Merciful heavens... Jherek... is that you...?" she slowly asked, her voice was a bit altered by being in that Chamber for so long, "Yeah mom... it's me..." I whispered.
"Thank the heavens you are still righteous... thank the heavens you are not a part of the evil Anriu..."
I squeezed my mom, burying my face in her bosom and began to silently cry, "Mom... I can't believe I am actually here with you..." I whispered as more tears fell out of my eyes, soaking my mom's white fur.
"Aww... Jherek... you have grown so much... it is like looking at an adult... tell me, how old are you now?"
"Hehe... I'm 24 mom"
"Sweet heavens child, you are an adult and I have missed your life, I am so glad you turned out so courageous and sweet... and are all of these kind people your friends?" she asked.
"Yes ma'am, I'm Sparks"
"One of the top 5 Strategists in Miir Cyraa, Cameron Kiddoo, pleasure to meet you"
"It is amazing that we found you here, I am Lindsey Ryans former PEF Prism but converted to Pokemon Defender. I have to say Jherek has to be one of the bravest Pokemon I've ever met and I'm glad something very good happened to him on this stressful mission of his"
"Heh... Commander Kiddoo, I know you... I've heard of you. You started out as a criminal working for your master and somehow moved to being one of the smartest Pokemon of all time, it is truly a treat to see you here, and Sparks is it? Very cute name" my mother said in a gentle voice.
"My name is not cute, it's fearsome!!" Sparks yelled as he did when I told him the same thing back at the Elite Force HQ.
Everyone laughed at him. His voice was still too light and squeaky to really be taken seriously but that speedy Volt Tackle he used earlier made me respect him even more.
It was such a happy moment for me, so very happy, after all of these years, after all of this time, I now know my real birthmother, and now I am glad to say that my name is no longer Jherek Kuhn, Zangoose of the Anriu, it is now Jherek Anoxiian, redeemed Zangoose of the PDF, my true identity.
