Episode 1: A Shocking Find One day Team Core Tech; Chase Suno, Dax, Jinja, Bren and Beyal were walking down a hallway with Commandant Marshall Jon Ace. "So Mr. Ace, what happened?" Chase asked. "On their way back Strike Squad discovered an unconscious girl floating in the ocean with three creatures near her." "Creatures? Monsunos?" Jinja inquired. "No Jinja, they are definitely not monsunos." Jon stated. They entered the sickbay where Jon lead them to the girls bed. The girl was light skinned and she had blond hair. Her clothes were ripped a little and she had a small backpack attached to her shoulders that was now on the bedstand next to her. Also, there sitting beside her bed were the three creatures. One was a sheep with blue skin and black and yellow striped horns and tail with a red orb on the end. The second one looked like puppy. It is primarily light brown with a darker brown muzzle, paws, and ear tips. It has large blue eyes, button eyes, a short muzzle with a triangular pink nose, and a short tuft of fur on each cheek. Around its neck is a ruff of grayish-white fur stubbed with dark brown pebbles. The dark brown markings on its paws extend to a thin point on each wrist and ankle. It has a grayish-white tail that curls tightly over its back and is covered in fluffy fur. And the last creature looked like a mix of other creatures. a quadruped, chimeric Pokémon with traits from a variety of creatures. It has a mammalian head with mechanical parts. Covering most of its head and neck is a thick, silver mane that extends down over its chest. Its blunt snout is metallic on the bridge of its nose and upper jaw. It has a triangular black nose framed by three red lines, pointed ears with bright pink and black insides, one visible fang on each side of its lower jaw, and a slight overbite. Its eyes are bright silver, have no visible pupils, and appear to be surrounded by an empty, black space. On each side of its head is a circular, metallic drive, with a white circle crossed by a metal line. On top of its head is a large, axe-like fur or feather crest. The tip of the crest as a hooked, metallic piece, while the back has three white feathers. The puppy and sheep saw the teenagers and Jon Ace. "Woah... you're right. They definitely aren't monsunos." Suddenly, the girl became to groan and the sheep and puppy were right in her face. "Ugh... Mareep.. Rockruff..?" "Mareep, reep, reep." "Rockruff, Ruff." The girl weakly held out her hand to the two creatures and they nuzzled it. Jon smiled at the scene and turned to the teens, "Let's give the girl and her creatures some alone time." TCT agreed and they followed Jon out of the sickbay all with the same question in their minds. "Who is she?" Two days have passed since the girl came to STORM and she has been resting ever since. TCT went back into the girl's room and found her awake and looking around the room confused while rubbing the little puppy creature. "Hey, you're awake." Chase said. The girl looked frightened for a minute. "Easy there, we're not gonna hurt you." The girl calmed down. "My name is Chase and these are my friends Jinja, Beyal, Bren and Dax. What's your name?" "S-Sarah." "Well Sarah, it's nice to meet you." Jinja spoke up. "H-How did I get here?" Sarah asked. "We all found you floating in the ocean, unconscious with your... creatures near you." Bren explained. "Oh my Pokemon." "Poke-what?" Dax asked. "Pokemon, there creatures that come in different shapes, sizes and types." Sarah added. "So what are the ones that you have?" Beyal asked. She petted the little puppy pokemon, "This is Rockurff, a rock type pokemon." she turned to the little blue sheep, "This is my Mareep." Then she turned to the mixed up pokemon. "And this one is called Silvally." That's when Jon Ace entered the room again. "Ah I see you're awake now." he said. Sarah flinched a little and Silvally growled at Jon, "It's okay. He won't hurt you either. He's our friend." Chase reassured, calming Sarah and Silvally. "So where am I?" "You're in STORM HQ." Jon replied. "I'm Commandant Marshall Jon Ace, but you can me Jon Ace for short." Sarah nodded. "So when will she be released?" Bren asked. "Actually Bren, she's being released now." Jon replied. "Really?" TCT exclaimed. Jon nodded and Sarah began to get out of bed. When she put weight on her legs, they were really wobbly, "Woah." she would have fell if Silvally haven't caught her on it's back. "Thanks boy." "Now Sarah, do you have any other family we can call?" Jon asked. Sarah shook her head. "Well in that case, you'll be under the care of Chase and his friends." "Us?" Chase asked. "Yes, you five are the ones who found her, so I need you five to make her comfortable while she stays here." Jon explained. "Yes sir." TCT said. "Come on Sarah, I'll take you to the bathroom." Jinja offered. Silvally followed Jinja while supporting it's trainer and they soon arrived at the bathroom. "This is where you'll freshen up everyday." Jinja sniffed Sarah and covered her nose. "Or now." Sarah blushed a little with embarrassment. She entered into the bathroom. It was roomy with white walls and a white sink and bathtub with a shower head inside as well as a toilet. "Good thing I know how showers work." Turning on the water and taking off her clothes, Sarah entered the shower and sighed in relief as it was heavenly. She hasn't felt like this in a long time. After about fifteen minutes, Sarah came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her head and body. Knock Knock Knock "Sarah, I've got your clothes." Jinja called from the door. The door cracked open and Jinja handed Sarah her new clothes. "T-Thank you." After drying off, she put her new clothes on and looked in the mirror. She was now wearing a jean jacket with a white t-shirt underneath with jeans. She put her long hair into a ponytail. Exiting the bathroom, she saw Jinja. "That's better huh?" Sarah nodded before her stomach growled. "Ugh..." "Sounds like you're hungry." Sarah nodded. "Come on, I'll get you something for you to eat." Sarah nodded and she followed Jinja to the cafeteria where Jinja got her a burger and some fries. Silvally ate some her fries to, much to Sarah's humor. "Does he always do that?" Jinja asked. "Yeah, he likes to eat what I eat." Sarah replied. After she was done eating, Jinja, Silvally and Sarah exited the cafeteria and found the boys. "Hey girls. Are you alright, Sarah?" Chase asked. "Y-Yes, I'm okay." Sarah stammered. Just then.. "Well, well, well, look what we have here Team Loser Tech." a voice came. The boys turned around and saw five other teens approaching them: one girl and four boys who all wore protective STORM armor. The first boy have vivid red hair and amber eyes. Name: Alpha. The second boy had short yellow hair. Name: Bravo. The third boy had short brown hair and wore glasses on his face. Name: X-Ray. The fourth boy had brown hair and the sides of his had were shaved leaving the hair standing up. Name: Kilo. And finally, the girl had long black hair that was put into a ponytail with two hair stands hanging on the sides of her face. Name: Tango. Together they are STORM Strike Squad aka Team Core Tech's antithesis. Since, Sarah had never seen them before, she got scared and hid behind Jinja. "So this is the new girl, you losers picked up? Figures, we're so much better that we don't need another teammate." Alpha bragged. Chase and his team narrowed their eyes at Strike Squad. Silvally growled at Strike Squad. "And what's this thing suppose to be? A Monsuno?" Kilo asked. "No, he's my pokemon. Silvally." Sarah said. Strike Squad narrowed their eyes at Silvally. "He doesn't look so tough." Alpha gloated. "Oh yeah, Alpha? Wanna prove it." Chase challenged. "What?" Sarah inquired. "Deal Suno. I'll battle the newbie and her pokemon. On deck fifteen minutes." Alpha and Strike Squad walked away. "Chase, are you sure about this?" Jinja hissed. "Sarah's never been in a fight before." "Don't worry, she'll be fine." Chase reassured. "I will?" Sarah asked. "Yes you will. I know you will." Chase added. Fifteen minutes later, Sarah and the others were out on the deck with Strike Squad. Chase and Alpha were on either sides. "Um Chase, this is really against regulations. Fighting teammates like this." Bren said. "Well Bren, as you know, I'm not really big on regulations. And I' afraid the sun will have to freeze over twice before I call Alpha teammate." Chase said. "Silvally.. I-!" "Tripwire." Before the two could act, "Strike Squad! Team Core Tech!" Trey's voice was heard over the com. "Report to briefing room, immediately." Chase sighed and the two teams were in the briefing room. "One of our STORM Bases was just hit hard by Droog's alien monsunos. They managed to get away with alot of monsuno essence. This has to be stopped." Jon said. "This is what we know so far so please pay attention. It seems that Explise is back having teamed up with Professor Tallis to create some kind of dinosaur monsuno. This is probably one step along Explises' main goal of creating a monsunno-human hybrid and Droog seems to have created a new form of alien monsuno. He's hunting down monsuno essence wherever he can find it. He seems to be targeting STORM bases and transport vehicles. He may be monitoring our old transmission so I've been working on codification of all transmissions." "Thanks you doctor." Jon said. "Alright Strike Squad, get to the Lowland base, find the trail of the alien monsunos and attack with extreme prejudice." "Sir yes sir." Alpha said. "What about us?" Chase asked. "Team Core Tech, you're grounded, except for Sarah, since you five haven't corrupted her yet." Trey stated. "After your last mission you need to cool your heels and learn a little more discipline." Strike Squad took their leave while Bren said. "Grounded, so not fair." A small cry came from behind Sarah and she saw Mareep. "Hi Mareep." she greeted. The little sheep pokemon nuzzled Sarah and tugged on her pants leg. "You want me to come with you?" Sarah asked. Mareep nodded. "Alright." She followed her little Mareep pokemon to her new room where Rockruff and Silvally were. "Woah... cool room." She gasped. Her pokemon liked the room as well. Sarah felt the bed. It was nice and soft. Mareep liked the bed and jumped on it, crying happily. Sarah chuckled at her little Mareep. "Sarah?" Sarah turned and saw Jerdy Suno in the doorway. "Hi, Mr. Suno." "Sarah no need to be so formal. Just called me Jeredy." Jeredy said. "I've come to give you something." "Give me something?" Sarah echoed. Jeredy handed her a core that was blue like Chase and his friends and this one had pink highlights. "Woah..." "This is your monsuno now." Jeredy claimed. Sarah took the core and it glowed in her hand and blue lines showed on her hand and wrist. "Woah.. awesome. But.. how do I use it?" "That's something my son and his friends can help you with." Jeredy said. "You can still catch them." "Catch them? They left? But they were grounded?" Jeredy laughed, "Nothing keeps my boy down. You better get going." Sarah nodded. Mareep, Rockruff, Silvally, let's go." Her pokemon nodded and followed her out onto the deck. "Okay..." she then launched the core and it hit a Cloud Hopper. The monsuno was a Jaguin. A hybrid of a Jaguar and Macaw. It was blue with large white spots and wings with light pink feathers inside and a stripe of light pink feathers on the outside. Her tail had light pink feather in the shape of a leaf. "Woah.." The monsuno looked and Sarah and nodded at her. Sarah and her pokemon mounted the monsuno, "Take me to Chase and TCT." and it gave a roar and took to the skies. Soon, Sarah was in a rocky area where down below she saw five monsunos that were not her friends. Two were green and looked like aliens and the others three looked like dinosaurs. She saw her friends across from them and they did not have their monsuno's out. "Get me down there, girl." The monsuno roared and flew down to TCT, shocking them and everyone else. "What the blezers? Sarah, what are you doing here?" Dax asked. "L-Looking for y-you five." Sarah stammered. "Ahh, another teenagers." a man with a black cape said. "This one s-s-s-shouldn't be a problem." the man that had a metal face added. Sarah's monsuno growled at the five monsunos who roared back. Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally growled as well. Mareep charged Ordon. "Mareep, don't!" Chase cried. "Is it crazy!" Bren added. Ordon launched Lava Bomb at Mareep but the small sheep leaped over the balls and unleashed Thunderbolt, shocking Ordon. "What?" the man cried. Rockruff charged in them and leaped into the air. It launched rocks from it's tail and the monsunos causing explosions. "Wicked!" Chase said. Silvally then roared and Sarah took out a electric dics. "Now Silvally, become an Electric type!" The disc inserted itself and Silvally's frill became yellow. Silvally roared. "Now Volt Tackle!" and he charged with vast amounts of electric energy and bashed into all of the monsunos, sending four of them to their cores! "What the Kragg?" Chase exclaimed. The only monsuno left was Ordon. "Hmm... very interesting." Said the man with yellow hair and spoke like a vampire... sorta. The mane in the black cape growled. "Ordon, return." and he returned his monsuno to it's core. The yellow haired man and the girl next to him vanished while the other three entered the ship and it flew away. "Ha, look at them run!" Dax called. "That was wicked, Sarah." "Yeah, you beat the Kragg out of them." Chase added. Sarah blushed a little and her monsuno licked her face. "Hehehe." "When did you get a monsuno?" Bren asked. "Chases' dad gave her to me." Sarah replied. "And... he told me you five snuck out." Chase smiled nervously. "Relax, I won't tell." TCT sighed in relief. "Now come on, let's get home." Sarah said. Everyone piled onto Sarah's new monsuno and she spread her wings and flew back to STORM. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 2: Essence Mistake to Change //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 2: Essence Mistake to Change When TCT got back from sneaking out they went to Chase's father and told him what happened. He was also shocked by Sarah's pokemon battling skills. "Incredible." "You should have seen them, dad. They were amazing." Chase praised. Sarah blushed, "Aww, come on now." "No, it's true. You guys were incredible." Jinja said. "Hehe, thank you." Sarah replied. "I'm gonna go a take a short flight with Skystar." Skystar is what she decided to name her Jaguin Monsunoe Sarah head onto the deck with her pokemon following her. She spun out Skystar. "Okay, girl, you and me are going to have a little fly time together." Skystar roared in glee as Sarah mounted her. "Behave you three while I'm gone." Sarah said to her pokemon. Her pokemon nodded and Skystar took to the skies and flew far out into the sea."YAAAAHOOOO! AWESOME!" Sarah cried in joy. Skystar did many flips in the air and skidding across the ocean surface. Sarah sighed in relief, "Feels nice, huh girl?" Skystar growled in agreement. "Now we have new friends and a new chapter in our lives. I don't think anything could ruin this moment." Sadly, she was wrong. A blast came and nearly hit Skystar if she hadn't swerved to avoid it. "What was that?!" More blasts came from above. Sarah looked up and saw Quarx and Dactyl and another mosnuno. It looked like cryborg-like tiger with antlers. Name: X-100 On Quarx was Droog, Trez, Dasha, Petros. On Dactyl was Explise, Hargrave And on X-100 was Professor Tallis and four other adults. Two boys and two girls. They were all dressed in rugged outfits with rough expressions on their faces. "Found you, Sarah." Explise declared. "Now make this easier and surrender yourself to all of us." "No way!" Skystar and the dragons growled in anger. There was no way she was going to let her best friend fall into the hands of these jerks. "Snowflake, Midnight, go back and get the others. Now." Sarah ordered. The Light and Night Furies nodded and flew back to STORM HQ. "Fine, then we'll have to take you the hard way." Droog added. "Dasha." "Quarx, Crushing Vortex!" Dasha ordered. Quarx opened his mouth creating a powerful tunnel of wind around Skystar. Skystar struggled to get out of the vortex while Sarah struggled to stay on her monsuno. "Hang... on... girl." she called. Luckily and amazingly, Skystar broke free from the vortex, turned and blasted Quarx. Dactyl swooped down on Skystar, "Watch out!" but she dodged with ease. "Let's get out of here girl." Skystar agreed and flew away. "After them." Talis cried. The three mosnuno's flew after Skystar and fired their attacks at her. Skystar dodged them and Sarah hugged her tightly. "Woah, woah woah!" "You can't escape us, little girl." Explise stated. Sarah whimpered as more blasts came and Skystar dodged some more. "Skystar can't dodge forever. I've gotta do something and fast!" At STORM HQ, Chase and his friends were walking down the hall when Rockruff, Sivally and Mareep came running towards them, looking really worried. "Rockruff, Silvally, Mareep, what's wrong?" Chase asked. The pokemon nudged the team to the deck and nodded out to see. "Is something wrong with Sapphire?" Jinja asked. The pokemon nodded. Chase and his friends looked worried. Knowing their enemies were after her, they couldn't take any chances." Let's go find her." Chase stated. "Evo! Airswitch! Mysticblade! Skyfall! Launch! The four monsuno's were released and the pokemon came aborad the monsunos and TCT flew out over the ocean searching for their teammate. "X-100, Drawn Ring!" Drezz called. "Qurax, Blast it! Dasha called. The two monsuno's blasted Skystar hitting her in the back and sending her into a spiral downfall. "YYYYAAAAHHHHH!" Sarah screamed as he held on for dear life. At the last second, Skystar straightened out. "Phew, you okay girl?" Skystar nodded. They heard the four monsunos and saw them diving towards them. "Lets get out of here!" Skystar bolted away from the monsuno's until she was over a large jungle. "Quick, hide in there!" Skystar dove down into the trees. With her spotted skin she could easily hide in the thick brush. The villains followed and couldn't find her. "That little brat couldn't have gone far." Petros said. "Split up and find her, no matter what it takes." Explise ordered. The villains nodded and went in separate directions, searching for Skystar and Sarah. The two were hiding deep in a large cave. Sarah was lying against Skystar's stomach, catching her breath. "Well this isn't how I wanted to spend our outing. Being chased by my friends enemies. Well it can't get any worse." Just after she said that, she heard and felt her stomach growling. "Uhhh, why do I even say that?" she groaned. Skystar nuzzled her controller. "It's okay, Skystar, I'm just regretting going out before lunch." she stomach growled again, empathizing her point. "I'm starving." Skystar knew she had to get her owner some food. She stood up and began to head towards the mouth of the cave. Sarah immediately stood up and ran in front of her. "Skystar, wait! We can't go out there, those bad guys might find us." Skystar growled. "I know you want to get some food for me, but it's just too risky now. Who knows when they'll find us." "How about now?" Droog stated. Sarah gasped and turned, to be greeted by Droog and his minions on Quarx. Skystar snarled and stood over to controller. "Your cat can't save you. Quarx, Attack!" Dasha ordered. Quarx prepared to blast the two at point blank ranger, but Skystar grabbed Sarah with her teeth and burst through the cave roof... only to be surrounded by Explise and Talis. "Now Tallis!" Explise exclaimed. Tallis held a large gun and fired out a really, really, large net. The net captured Skystar and Sarah sending Skystar crashing to the ground. "Uuuuhh... Skystar are you okay?" Sarah groaned. Skystar roared softly. All the villains laughed. "Now lets get you somewhere where your little f-f-f-friends can't find you." Tallis said. X-100 grabbed the net with his claws and the three flew off. "Chase, guys, where are you?" Meanwhile, TCT was still flying over the ocean. "No blizin sign of them anywhere." Dax said. Now the friends were getting really worried about Sarah. "We've gotta keep searching for her." Chase replied. "But at this rate, we'll never find her. We need something, anything to let us know what happened." Bren stated. "Rarr!" Silvally roared and he spotted something in the water below. Evo flew down to the surface of the water. There in the water was a feather with pink hihlights with dark blue shading. "That's Skystar's feather!" Jinja realized. "Good, but where's Skystar and Sarah?" Dax asked. Beyal grabbed the feather, "Perhaps my meditation can help us." Beyal sat crossed-legged on his monsuno and closed his eyes. Concentrating the feather glowed blue and Beyal could see Skystar and Sarah trapped in a net being carried by X-100. They were heading to Explise's underground base in the lowlands. He opened his eyes "I know where they are. We must hurry." Mysticblade flew off at great speed with the team following close behind. "Please be okay, Sarah." Chase thought to herself. At Explise's underground lair, Sarah was bounded to a table by strong manacles while Skystar was locked away in a see through cage. Hargrave and Don Pyro pushed a large laser with a tube of monsuno essence attached to it. "Wh-What are you going to do with me?" Sarah asked with fear. "Why little girl, we're going to make you the next monsuno-human hybrid. One of the many we shall create." Explise replied. "Hargrave start the timer." "Oh happily sir." Hargrave typed on the keyboard and a timer showed up counting down from five minute, at the same time, the laser's tip began to glow. "Once this timer hit zero, the laser will fire and turn you into a monsuno-human hybrid. HAHAHA!" Explise explained. Sarah gulped nervously. Suddenly, the roof burst open and the villains looked up. "It's over, Explise, now let go Sarah!" Chase Suno demanded. Sarah's pokemon snarled at the villains. Sarah smiled at her friends, "Guys!" "We'll get you out of here, Sarah." Jinja said. "Hurry. Before this laser zaps me." Skyfall swooped down to destroy the laser but was blocked by X-100, who fired Drawn Rings at it. Skyfall flew high into the air followed by X-100. Only two minutes remained on the timer now. Skystar was busy trying to break the cage to get to her best friend. That's when Airswitch came by, "Airswitch, break the cage!" Dax ordered. Airswitch squawked and used his claws at slash the cage in half, freeing Skystar. "Evo, Shockwing!" Chase called. Evo squawked and flapped his wings creating large gusts of wind, sending the monsuno's skidding back. Silvally and Rockruff blasted X-100 with Metal Claw and Rock Throw, sending the monsuno flying. X-100 crashed on the ground and returned to it's core. Now only two seconds remained on the timer! The laser activated and it sent a beam of monsuno essence at Sarah. "GAAAHHHH!" "Sarah!" TCT cried. Sarah roared in pain as the essences fused with her boy. "Help!" Sarah cried. Hearing her controller's cry, Skystar roared and flew over to the laser, slashing it with her claws. The pain stopped for Sarah and she weakly opened her eys "Skystar!" Skystar broke the chains holding Sarah and Skystar nuzzled her beloved controller, "Thanks Skystar." Skystar licked her, happy she was okay. Explise and the other villains were not happy. "We will have our revenge Chase Suno and that little girl will be ours!" he declared as he and the others ran away. Back at STORM HQ, TCT was in the cafeteria having dinner. For Sarah it was a relief, escaping villains and being captured really worked up an appetite. "Thanks for saving me guys." Sarah stated. "No problem, Sarah." Jinja replied. "Yeah, we're always there for each other. We're a family." Chase added. Sarah smiled. "And don't worry about Explise, Tallis and Droog, we won't let them get you for whatever reason they have." Dax added. Sarah nodded, "Okay." With that, the six friends ate in peace. It's been a week since Sarah was captured by Explise, Talis and their allies and rescued by Chase and his friends. Since then the team has been helping her become a good monsuno controller like them. They were in an open field now for a practice battle. It was Sarah vs Dax. "Ready?" Dax called. "Yes." "Clubber, Launch!" "Stormswift, Launch!" The cores spun out and 'clinked' sending out the monsunos. Clubber resembled an anklyosaurus and bull. Jerdy gave her another monusno. Stormswift resembled a hippogriff; a mythical creature with the wings, beak and claws of an eagle and the back legs and tail of a horse. "Clubber, Attack!" Clubber roared and charged Stormswift. "Stormswift, Aerial Ace!" Stormswift squawked and took to the sky, just as Clubber came in. She dove towards him at blinding speed and slashed him. Clubber roared in pain. "Now, Brave Bird!" Stormswift flew towards Clubber, tucking her wings in and charging at a low altitude. "Clubber, Fire Spear!" Cubber's horns erupted in fire and he fired the flames at Stormswift. "Stormswift, Up!" Stormswift flew up and out of the way of the attack, stopping his own attack. "Now, Steel Wing!" Stormswift squawked and flew towards Clubber with his wings glowing white. "Clubber, Missle Barrage!" The crystals on CLubber glowed red and launched out and towards Stormswift. Stormswift dodged all of the missiles and made direct contact with Clubber. Clubber's health was in the yellow while Stormswift's was still in the green. "She's not doing half bad." Bren commented. "Yeah, she's good already." Jinja added. "Now use, Hurricane!" Stormswift flapped his wings, creating a large tornado of wind. Clubber tried to hang on but he was lifted into the air, "Now girl, use Aerial Ace!" Stormswift charged Clubber and in the air and struck him hard. Clubber crashed to the ground and he returned to his core. "And Stormswift and Sarah win the match!" Chase announced. Stormswift landed and squawked in victory. "Stormswift, return!" The monsuno returned to his core. "Not bad, newbie." Dax said. "Thanks, but it'll be a while to catch up with you guys." Sarah said. "No way, you'll already getting the hang of it." Bren said. "Indeed." Beyal added. Sarah smiled at her friends. "Alright team, let's head back to STORM." Chase said. The others piled into the Core Tech Hopper and headed back to STORM. Once they were back, Sarah went to check in on her pokemon The poor creatures were victims to Chases' dad's constant studying an analyzing. She saw them in the containment field, lying exhaustively on the floor. "Hey Snowflake and Midnight, how are you?" The dragons roared softly saying 'Help me'. Sarah giggled, "Easy you two, I'm sure Jerdy will be done soon." she reassured. The pokemon slumped as if saying 'Yeah right.' That's when Jerdy walked in, "Oh Sarah, I wasn't expecting you." "Just checking on my friend here. How's your studying going?" "Wonderfully." "Well maybe you could give them both some free time?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah, everyone needs some fresh air, even dragons." Jerdy looked at the pokemon whom looked a little tired of bring in confinement. "Alright, you can take them ." Sarah smiled as Jerdy deactivated the containment field and the pokemons' attitudes shot up and they pounced on Sarah, making her laugh, "Thanks." "Your welcome." Sarah exited the room and went to find her friends. She found Commandant Marshall Jon Ace. "Umm... Mr. Ace?" "Yes Sarah?" "Do you know where my friends are?" "They are at the docks, loading off some cargo containers." "Okay, thank you." Sarah went off to catch up with her friends. At the docks, Airswitch and Charger roared. "Airswitch, now." Dax called. "Charger come on, get moving let do this." Jinja added. Charger pushed a cargo container while Airswitch lifted one up. Charger pushed it against other containers and Airswitch placed it on top. Neo-Quickforce and Mysticblade were moving on together. Mysticblade wrapped his long tail around it while Neo-Quickforce lifted it up with his head. "That's it. Neo-Quickforce, get it done!" Bren called. "Mysticblade, lower it into place." Beyal stated. Mysticblade lowered the container onto the other ones. Bren sighed, "All this manual labor sees kinds silly and really exhausting." "Glasses is right. How is this suppose to be helping with the worlds' monsuno problem?" Dax questioned. "If Lieutenant Try said this was useful then I fully believe it to be so." Beyal said. He got straight looks from Dax, Bren and Jinja. "Uh... we must follow orders, yes?" "Yes, even if they don't always make sense, right?" Jinja replied, tossing her core in the air. "Hey!"a voice came. The team looked and saw Sarah running towards them with Skystar and the pokemon at her side. "Hey, Sarah." Jinja greeted. "Anyway, orders or no orders maybe we can have some fun offloading these cargo containers." Chase suggested. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Sarah asked, sensing something was about to go wrong. "Race ya! Lock, get's the next one!" "Ha! Not if Airswitch gets it first." Dax said. "You boys are too slow for Charger." Jinja said. "Ha! Neo-Quickforce is the fastest." Bren bragged. "I am excited." Beyal said. Skystar and Sarah backed up a bit as Lock grabbed the next cargo container. Neo-Quickforce and Charger surrounded him as Mysticblade and Airswitch both grabbed the container. Lock lost his grip and Airswitch and Mysticblade took it into the air. The container slipped through Mysticblade's coil and began to fall towards the cargo ship. The team, except for Sarah gasped. "I knew it." she thought. "Aw Kragg, this can't be good!" Chase cried. Sarah mounted Skystar. "Let's go, girl!" Skystar flew up towards the cargo container. She caught it but the momentum of the container sent Skystar and Sarah crashing into the other containers on the ship. "Sarah!" the team cried. One-by-one, the containers fell into the ocean. One almost hit Bren and Jinja if they haven't ran away. The ship tilted onto it's side and began sinking into the ocean. "The universe is out to get me!" Bren cried. Beyal, Chase and Dax scanned the waters for their friend. "Where's Sarah and Skystar?" Chase asked. Silvally and Mareep leaped into the waters while Airswitch and Mysticblade scanned the sea from the air. Airswitch spotted the Normal and Electric type pokemon calling to them as well as a large blue figure. He dove towards the figure along with Mysticblade. They both grabbed the figure which turned out to be Skystar. Sarah was unconscious on her monsuno's back. Silvally grabbed Sarah while Airswitch and Mysticblade brought Skystar to the docks and set them down gently. Skystar was conscious, but a little shaken from the crash. "Sarah!" Jinja cried. "Sarah, wake up!" Sarah eyes moved and she opened them. "Ugghhh... guys?" The team and pokemon gave a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're alright." Jinja said. Sarah started to shiver a little. Skystar placed a wing over her controller as Mareep and Rockurff cuddled against her, "Come on, let's get you back to STORM." Chase said. The others agreed and went back to STORM where they found Jon and Jerdy waiting for them... and they were not happy. Sarah was examined by the doctors. She didn't have any major injuries from the crash, but they advised her to take it easy for a few days. When she was done, she went to mission control to see her friends. "Why can't you follow simply orders?" Jon asked. "Oh, oh,oh I can sir." Bren said. "But these guys, they find it kinds difficult." All the others agreed with that statement. Jon sighed. That's when Sarah entered the room, "Sarah, are you okay?" Chase asked. "I'm good, the doctors said I'll just have a headache for a few days." Jon cleared his throat and continued, "Look Strike Squad is out with most of my elites. I have intel on an illegal shipment of monsuno essence." "Sweet." Chase said. Sarah gave his a straight look while Jon narrowed his eyes. "I mean, that's terrible news." "Your mission is to secure that essence and bring it back here. Be careful. You may encounter strong resistance." "I sure hope so." Chase said. "No screw ups, if you encounter resistance call it in." Jon said. "I want to track your movements at all times." "Uh yeah, you got it sir." Chase said. He turned to his friends. "Guys grab your cores, let's roll." The friends went to get their cores but Chase's dad called to him. He came to him and placed his hands on his shoulders. "Listen to your orders son, remember your part of STORM now." he said. "I'll try dad, I really will." Chase went off. Leaving his dad and Jon. They didn't not see this working out how they want to. "I'll keep an eye on them." Sarah said as she went to get her cores. "Please do." Jerdy and Jon pleaded at the same time. Sarah laughed and exited the room. The team dove their vehicle through a large area filled with power lines and cables. This was the continental power grid. It powers electricity all around the country. Sarah was riding on Skystar while her friends were riding in the vehicle with Chase driving. She decided to leave Snowflake and Midnight at home, so they could continue to rest. Meanwhile, Grandma Future and Mr. Black, some of TCT's previous enemies were by an electrical grid. Mr. Black had a case of monsuno essence. "My last of my monsuno essence and I an forced to sell it. All gone." "Look on the bright side mother, at least we still have our monsunos." "We'll have to take those off you as well." a voice said. Grandma Future and Mr. Black looked and saw Chase and his friends. Blitz was still in his battle mode with Sarah on top of him. "Chase Suno and Team Core-Tech!" Grandma Future cried. "In the flesh, Grandmom." Dax said. Grandma Future and Mr. Black growled. "Just one question, who are you selling this stuff to anyway?" Jinja asked. "She is selling it to me?" a familar voice said. The team turned and saw Droog with Trez, Dasha and Petros. "Droog!" Chase said. Sarah squeaked in fear and his behind Blitz's frill while he growled at them. "Ah, Droog, just in time." Grandma Future said. "Actually you're a bit early, how about coming back in.. never!" Bren said. Dax covered his mouth while Chase stepped forth, "No don't listen to him, we are really glad your here cause now we've got a real battle." "Sorry to disappoint you Chase Suno, but I am not here to fight, I came for the monsuno essence." Droog replied. "Uh, you do know we're not gonna let you take it right?" Jinja asked. "Then perhaps we shall do both. Petros take the essence. Dasha, Trez, prepare to spin out. And remember Dasha, let them follow you." "Done Master Droog." she replied. Petros leaped high and over the team and grabbed the essence. "I will be taking this, you will get your pay later." he said and he ran off with the essence. "Petros is getting away!" Chase cried. "Team Core-Tech, spin out. Blitz, get Sarah out of here to be safe." Blitz nodded and ran away with Sarah. "Woah!" Skystar moved a few yards away from the battlefield and Sarah dismounted him. He layed down next to Sarah, breathing a little heavy. "Skystar? Are you alright?" she asked. Skystar nodded, but his large stomach growled in response. Sarah rubbed his large stomach, "Oooh, Skystar, you're starving." Sarah dug into her pocket and pulled out a granola bar. This one had some berries and fruit in it. "Here Skystar, this should help." Skystar took the granola bar and ate it. Blitz licked his lips and nuzzled Sarah. "Hehe. Your welcome, Skystar." That's when Skystar spotted something out the corner of his eye and growled softly. "Skystar, what is it?" Sarah asked. Blitz stood up and walked over to the spot. "Is there something under here?" Skystar started digging in the spot and Sarah joined in. When most of the dirt was dug away, Sarah pulled out the item. "Woah." The item turned out to be a tube of monsuno essence! "Looks like there were two illegal shipment, huh boy?" Skystar nodded in agreement. "I can't wait to show this to Chase and the others." That's just a loud crash sounded in the distance. Skystar and Sarah turned around to see a large green beam shooting out into the sky. "Looks like trouble, let's go!" Sarah mounted Blitz and they both rushed over to the scene. Arriving onto the scene, Skystar and Sarah were greeted by TCT fighting Droog and his alien monsunos, but something was wrong. TCT's monsuno had purple lights instead of blue for some reason. "Okay, so that's weird." Sarah heard Jinja talking, "Droog must be transmitting the frequency somehow." The team looked around and saw purple sparks coming from the electricity lines. "The electricity lines, he's using the power cables as aerials." "We gotta take them out." Chase said. "Oh, but Jon Ace is gonna be mad." Bren whimpered. "Don't sweat it B, he'll forgive us. In a about a hundred years." Chase went to his monsuno. "Lock, his is a direct order." he pointed to one of the substations. "Slam Ram." Lock looked at the substation and rammed it with his body, making the substation fall over. "Timber." The team scattered and the substation crashed to the ground. "Charger, ram it!" Jinja ordered. Charger rammed the other substations sending them crashing to the ground. At STORM, power was going out in a control room. "Huh?" Jon said. Jerdy sighed in disappointment, knowing this had something to do with his son. "What going on here?" "Chase." he grumbled. "Sorry Droog looks like you can put this experiment into the big old fail column." Chase said. "On the contrary, the results have been most satisfactory." Droog said. "I am well on my way to having revenge on all monsuno essence." With that said he, his minions and monsunos walked away. Jinja sighed looking at the mess they made. "We disobeyed orders, lost the essence and destroyed the continental power grid." "Blezin Commandant Marshall Ace is going to have us doing chores till we're thousand years old." Dax said. That's when Blitz came over and Sarah leaped off. "It's not a total lost." she said showing them the essence tube. The team gasped. "Sarah, where did you find that?!" Bren asked. "Actually Skystar found it, hidden in the dirt and few yards from you guys." Sarah handed the tube to Chase. "Sweet, now we return to STORM with a completed assignment. Thanks Sarah." Sarah smiled at her friends. "Time to give you a long rest, Skystar." Sarah returned Skystar to his core, "Now, let's go home." Chase nodded and launched Evo and they all flew back to STORM. When TCT got back from sneaking out they went to Chase's father and told him what happened. He was also shocked by Sarah's pokemon battling skills. "Incredible." "You should have seen them, dad. They were amazing." Chase praised. Sarah blushed, "Aww, come on now." "No, it's true. You guys were incredible." Jinja said. "Hehe, thank you." Sarah replied. "I'm gonna go a take a short flight with Skystar." Skystar is what she decided to name her Jaguin Monsunoe Sarah head onto the deck with her pokemon following her. She spun out Skystar. "Okay, girl, you and me are going to have a little fly time together." Skystar roared in glee as Sarah mounted her. "Behave you three while I'm gone." Sarah said to her pokemon. Her pokemon nodded and Skystar took to the skies and flew far out into the sea."YAAAAHOOOO! AWESOME!" Sarah cried in joy. Skystar did many flips in the air and skidding across the ocean surface. Sarah sighed in relief, "Feels nice, huh girl?" Skystar growled in agreement. "Now we have new friends and a new chapter in our lives. I don't think anything could ruin this moment." Sadly, she was wrong. A blast came and nearly hit Skystar if she hadn't swerved to avoid it. "What was that?!" More blasts came from above. Sarah looked up and saw Quarx and Dactyl and another mosnuno. It looked like cryborg-like tiger with antlers. Name: X-100 On Quarx was Droog, Trez, Dasha, Petros. On Dactyl was Explise, Hargrave And on X-100 was Professor Tallis and four other adults. Two boys and two girls. They were all dressed in rugged outfits with rough expressions on their faces. "Found you, Sarah." Explise declared. "Now make this easier and surrender yourself to all of us." "No way!" Skystar and the dragons growled in anger. There was no way she was going to let her best friend fall into the hands of these jerks. "Snowflake, Midnight, go back and get the others. Now." Sarah ordered. The Light and Night Furies nodded and flew back to STORM HQ. "Fine, then we'll have to take you the hard way." Droog added. "Dasha." "Quarx, Crushing Vortex!" Dasha ordered. Quarx opened his mouth creating a powerful tunnel of wind around Skystar. Skystar struggled to get out of the vortex while Sarah struggled to stay on her monsuno. "Hang... on... girl." she called. Luckily and amazingly, Skystar broke free from the vortex, turned and blasted Quarx. Dactyl swooped down on Skystar, "Watch out!" but she dodged with ease. "Let's get out of here girl." Skystar agreed and flew away. "After them." Talis cried. The three mosnuno's flew after Skystar and fired their attacks at her. Skystar dodged them and Sarah hugged her tightly. "Woah, woah woah!" "You can't escape us, little girl." Explise stated. Sarah whimpered as more blasts came and Skystar dodged some more. "Skystar can't dodge forever. I've gotta do something and fast!" At STORM HQ, Chase and his friends were walking down the hall when Rockruff, Sivally and Mareep came running towards them, looking really worried. "Rockruff, Silvally, Mareep, what's wrong?" Chase asked. The pokemon nudged the team to the deck and nodded out to see. "Is something wrong with Sapphire?" Jinja asked. The pokemon nodded. Chase and his friends looked worried. Knowing their enemies were after her, they couldn't take any chances." Let's go find her." Chase stated. "Evo! Airswitch! Mysticblade! Skyfall! Launch! The four monsuno's were released and the pokemon came aborad the monsunos and TCT flew out over the ocean searching for their teammate. "X-100, Drawn Ring!" Drezz called. "Qurax, Blast it! Dasha called. The two monsuno's blasted Skystar hitting her in the back and sending her into a spiral downfall. "YYYYAAAAHHHHH!" Sarah screamed as he held on for dear life. At the last second, Skystar straightened out. "Phew, you okay girl?" Skystar nodded. They heard the four monsunos and saw them diving towards them. "Lets get out of here!" Skystar bolted away from the monsuno's until she was over a large jungle. "Quick, hide in there!" Skystar dove down into the trees. With her spotted skin she could easily hide in the thick brush. The villains followed and couldn't find her. "That little brat couldn't have gone far." Petros said. "Split up and find her, no matter what it takes." Explise ordered. The villains nodded and went in separate directions, searching for Skystar and Sarah. The two were hiding deep in a large cave. Sarah was lying against Skystar's stomach, catching her breath. "Well this isn't how I wanted to spend our outing. Being chased by my friends enemies. Well it can't get any worse." Just after she said that, she heard and felt her stomach growling. "Uhhh, why do I even say that?" she groaned. Skystar nuzzled her controller. "It's okay, Skystar, I'm just regretting going out before lunch." she stomach growled again, empathizing her point. "I'm starving." Skystar knew she had to get her owner some food. She stood up and began to head towards the mouth of the cave. Sarah immediately stood up and ran in front of her. "Skystar, wait! We can't go out there, those bad guys might find us." Skystar growled. "I know you want to get some food for me, but it's just too risky now. Who knows when they'll find us." "How about now?" Droog stated. Sarah gasped and turned, to be greeted by Droog and his minions on Quarx. Skystar snarled and stood over to controller. "Your cat can't save you. Quarx, Attack!" Dasha ordered. Quarx prepared to blast the two at point blank ranger, but Skystar grabbed Sarah with her teeth and burst through the cave roof... only to be surrounded by Explise and Talis. "Now Tallis!" Explise exclaimed. Tallis held a large gun and fired out a really, really, large net. The net captured Skystar and Sarah sending Skystar crashing to the ground. "Uuuuhh... Skystar are you okay?" Sarah groaned. Skystar roared softly. All the villains laughed. "Now lets get you somewhere where your little f-f-f-friends can't find you." Tallis said. X-100 grabbed the net with his claws and the three flew off. "Chase, guys, where are you?" Meanwhile, TCT was still flying over the ocean. "No blizin sign of them anywhere." Dax said. Now the friends were getting really worried about Sarah. "We've gotta keep searching for her." Chase replied. "But at this rate, we'll never find her. We need something, anything to let us know what happened." Bren stated. "Rarr!" Silvally roared and he spotted something in the water below. Evo flew down to the surface of the water. There in the water was a feather with pink hihlights with dark blue shading. "That's Skystar's feather!" Jinja realized. "Good, but where's Skystar and Sarah?" Dax asked. Beyal grabbed the feather, "Perhaps my meditation can help us." Beyal sat crossed-legged on his monsuno and closed his eyes. Concentrating the feather glowed blue and Beyal could see Skystar and Sarah trapped in a net being carried by X-100. They were heading to Explise's underground base in the lowlands. He opened his eyes "I know where they are. We must hurry." Mysticblade flew off at great speed with the team following close behind. "Please be okay, Sarah." Chase thought to herself. At Explise's underground lair, Sarah was bounded to a table by strong manacles while Skystar was locked away in a see through cage. Hargrave and Don Pyro pushed a large laser with a tube of monsuno essence attached to it. "Wh-What are you going to do with me?" Sarah asked with fear. "Why little girl, we're going to make you the next monsuno-human hybrid. One of the many we shall create." Explise replied. "Hargrave start the timer." "Oh happily sir." Hargrave typed on the keyboard and a timer showed up counting down from five minute, at the same time, the laser's tip began to glow. "Once this timer hit zero, the laser will fire and turn you into a monsuno-human hybrid. HAHAHA!" Explise explained. Sarah gulped nervously. Suddenly, the roof burst open and the villains looked up. "It's over, Explise, now let go Sarah!" Chase Suno demanded. Sarah's pokemon snarled at the villains. Sarah smiled at her friends, "Guys!" "We'll get you out of here, Sarah." Jinja said. "Hurry. Before this laser zaps me." Skyfall swooped down to destroy the laser but was blocked by X-100, who fired Drawn Rings at it. Skyfall flew high into the air followed by X-100. Only two minutes remained on the timer now. Skystar was busy trying to break the cage to get to her best friend. That's when Airswitch came by, "Airswitch, break the cage!" Dax ordered. Airswitch squawked and used his claws at slash the cage in half, freeing Skystar. "Evo, Shockwing!" Chase called. Evo squawked and flapped his wings creating large gusts of wind, sending the monsuno's skidding back. Silvally and Rockruff blasted X-100 with Metal Claw and Rock Throw, sending the monsuno flying. X-100 crashed on the ground and returned to it's core. Now only two seconds remained on the timer! The laser activated and it sent a beam of monsuno essence at Sarah. "GAAAHHHH!" "Sarah!" TCT cried. Sarah roared in pain as the essences fused with her boy. "Help!" Sarah cried. Hearing her controller's cry, Skystar roared and flew over to the laser, slashing it with her claws. The pain stopped for Sarah and she weakly opened her eys "Skystar!" Skystar broke the chains holding Sarah and Skystar nuzzled her beloved controller, "Thanks Skystar." Skystar licked her, happy she was okay. Explise and the other villains were not happy. "We will have our revenge Chase Suno and that little girl will be ours!" he declared as he and the others ran away. Back at STORM HQ, TCT was in the cafeteria having dinner. For Sarah it was a relief, escaping villains and being captured really worked up an appetite. "Thanks for saving me guys." Sarah stated. "No problem, Sarah." Jinja replied. "Yeah, we're always there for each other. We're a family." Chase added. Sarah smiled. "And don't worry about Explise, Tallis and Droog, we won't let them get you for whatever reason they have." Dax added. Sarah nodded, "Okay." With that, the six friends ate in peace. It's been a week since Sarah was captured by Explise, Talis and their allies and rescued by Chase and his friends. Since then the team has been helping her become a good monsuno controller like them. They were in an open field now for a practice battle. It was Sarah vs Dax. "Ready?" Dax called. "Yes." "Clubber, Launch!" "Stormswift, Launch!" The cores spun out and 'clinked' sending out the monsunos. Clubber resembled an anklyosaurus and bull. Jerdy gave her another monusno. Stormswift resembled a hippogriff; a mythical creature with the wings, beak and claws of an eagle and the back legs and tail of a horse. "Clubber, Attack!" Clubber roared and charged Stormswift. "Stormswift, Aerial Ace!" Stormswift squawked and took to the sky, just as Clubber came in. She dove towards him at blinding speed and slashed him. Clubber roared in pain. "Now, Brave Bird!" Stormswift flew towards Clubber, tucking her wings in and charging at a low altitude. "Clubber, Fire Spear!" Cubber's horns erupted in fire and he fired the flames at Stormswift. "Stormswift, Up!" Stormswift flew up and out of the way of the attack, stopping his own attack. "Now, Steel Wing!" Stormswift squawked and flew towards Clubber with his wings glowing white. "Clubber, Missle Barrage!" The crystals on CLubber glowed red and launched out and towards Stormswift. Stormswift dodged all of the missiles and made direct contact with Clubber. Clubber's health was in the yellow while Stormswift's was still in the green. "She's not doing half bad." Bren commented. "Yeah, she's good already." Jinja added. "Now use, Hurricane!" Stormswift flapped his wings, creating a large tornado of wind. Clubber tried to hang on but he was lifted into the air, "Now girl, use Aerial Ace!" Stormswift charged Clubber and in the air and struck him hard. Clubber crashed to the ground and he returned to his core. "And Stormswift and Sarah win the match!" Chase announced. Stormswift landed and squawked in victory. "Stormswift, return!" The monsuno returned to his core. "Not bad, newbie." Dax said. "Thanks, but it'll be a while to catch up with you guys." Sarah said. "No way, you'll already getting the hang of it." Bren said. "Indeed." Beyal added. Sarah smiled at her friends. "Alright team, let's head back to STORM." Chase said. The others piled into the Core Tech Hopper and headed back to STORM. Once they were back, Sarah went to check in on her pokemon The poor creatures were victims to Chases' dad's constant studying an analyzing. She saw them in the containment field, lying exhaustively on the floor. "Hey you guys, how are you?" The pokemon cooed softly saying 'Help me'. Sarah giggled, "Easy you two, I'm sure Jerdy will be done soon." she reassured. The pokemon slumped as if saying 'Yeah right.' That's when Jerdy walked in, "Oh Sarah, I wasn't expecting you." "Just checking on my friend here. How's your studying going?" "Wonderfully." "Well maybe you could give them both some free time?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah, everyone needs some fresh air, even dragons." Jerdy looked at the pokemon whom looked a little tired of bring in confinement. "Alright, you can take them ." Sarah smiled as Jerdy deactivated the containment field and the pokemons' attitudes shot up and they pounced on Sarah, making her laugh, "Thanks." "Your welcome." Sarah exited the room and went to find her friends. She found Commandant Marshall Jon Ace. "Umm... Mr. Ace?" "Yes Sarah?" "Do you know where my friends are?" "They are at the docks, loading off some cargo containers." "Okay, thank you." Sarah went off to catch up with her friends. At the docks, Airswitch and Charger roared. "Airswitch, now." Dax called. "Charger come on, get moving let do this." Jinja added. Charger pushed a cargo container while Airswitch lifted one up. Charger pushed it against other containers and Airswitch placed it on top. Neo-Quickforce and Mysticblade were moving on together. Mysticblade wrapped his long tail around it while Neo-Quickforce lifted it up with his head. "That's it. Neo-Quickforce, get it done!" Bren called. "Mysticblade, lower it into place." Beyal stated. Mysticblade lowered the container onto the other ones. Bren sighed, "All this manual labor sees kinds silly and really exhausting." "Glasses is right. How is this suppose to be helping with the worlds' monsuno problem?" Dax questioned. "If Lieutenant Try said this was useful then I fully believe it to be so." Beyal said. He got straight looks from Dax, Bren and Jinja. "Uh... we must follow orders, yes?" "Yes, even if they don't always make sense, right?" Jinja replied, tossing her core in the air. "Hey!"a voice came. The team looked and saw Sarah running towards them with Skystar and the pokemon at her side. "Hey, Sarah." Jinja greeted. "Anyway, orders or no orders maybe we can have some fun offloading these cargo containers." Chase suggested. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Sarah asked, sensing something was about to go wrong. "Race ya! Lock, get's the next one!" "Ha! Not if Airswitch gets it first." Dax said. "You boys are too slow for Charger." Jinja said. "Ha! Neo-Quickforce is the fastest." Bren bragged. "I am excited." Beyal said. Skystar and Sarah backed up a bit as Lock grabbed the next cargo container. Neo-Quickforce and Charger surrounded him as Mysticblade and Airswitch both grabbed the container. Lock lost his grip and Airswitch and Mysticblade took it into the air. The container slipped through Mysticblade's coil and began to fall towards the cargo ship. The team, except for Sarah gasped. "I knew it." she thought. "Aw Kragg, this can't be good!" Chase cried. Sarah mounted Skystar. "Let's go, girl!" Skystar flew up towards the cargo container. She caught it but the momentum of the container sent Skystar and Sarah crashing into the other containers on the ship. "Sarah!" the team cried. One-by-one, the containers fell into the ocean. One almost hit Bren and Jinja if they haven't ran away. The ship tilted onto it's side and began sinking into the ocean. "The universe is out to get me!" Bren cried. Beyal, Chase and Dax scanned the waters for their friend. "Where's Sarah and Skystar?" Chase asked. Silvally and Mareep leaped into the waters while Airswitch and Mysticblade scanned the sea from the air. Airswitch spotted the Normal and Electric type pokemon calling to them as well as a large blue figure. He dove towards the figure along with Mysticblade. They both grabbed the figure which turned out to be Skystar. Sarah was unconscious on her monsuno's back. Silvally grabbed Sarah while Airswitch and Mysticblade brought Skystar to the docks and set them down gently. Skystar was conscious, but a little shaken from the crash. "Sarah!" Jinja cried. "Sarah, wake up!" Sarah eyes moved and she opened them. "Ugghhh... guys?" The team and pokemon gave a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're alright." Jinja said. Sarah started to shiver a little. Skystar placed a wing over her controller as Mareep and Rockurff cuddled against her, "Come on, let's get you back to STORM." Chase said. The others agreed and went back to STORM where they found Jon and Jerdy waiting for them... and they were not happy. Sarah was examined by the doctors. She didn't have any major injuries from the crash, but they advised her to take it easy for a few days. When she was done, she went to mission control to see her friends. "Why can't you follow simply orders?" Jon asked. "Oh, oh,oh I can sir." Bren said. "But these guys, they find it kinds difficult." All the others agreed with that statement. Jon sighed. That's when Sarah entered the room, "Sarah, are you okay?" Chase asked. "I'm good, the doctors said I'll just have a headache for a few days." Jon cleared his throat and continued, "Look Strike Squad is out with most of my elites. I have intel on an illegal shipment of monsuno essence." "Sweet." Chase said. Sarah gave his a straight look while Jon narrowed his eyes. "I mean, that's terrible news." "Your mission is to secure that essence and bring it back here. Be careful. You may encounter strong resistance." "I sure hope so." Chase said. "No screw ups, if you encounter resistance call it in." Jon said. "I want to track your movements at all times." "Uh yeah, you got it sir." Chase said. He turned to his friends. "Guys grab your cores, let's roll." The friends went to get their cores but Chase's dad called to him. He came to him and placed his hands on his shoulders. "Listen to your orders son, remember your part of STORM now." he said. "I'll try dad, I really will." Chase went off. Leaving his dad and Jon. They didn't not see this working out how they want to. "I'll keep an eye on them." Sarah said as she went to get her cores. "Please do." Jerdy and Jon pleaded at the same time. Sarah laughed and exited the room. The team dove their vehicle through a large area filled with power lines and cables. This was the continental power grid. It powers electricity all around the country. Sarah was riding on Skystar while her friends were riding in the vehicle with Chase driving. She decided to leave Snowflake and Midnight at home, so they could continue to rest. Meanwhile, Grandma Future and Mr. Black, some of TCT's previous enemies were by an electrical grid. Mr. Black had a case of monsuno essence. "My last of my monsuno essence and I an forced to sell it. All gone." "Look on the bright side mother, at least we still have our monsunos." "We'll have to take those off you as well." a voice said. Grandma Future and Mr. Black looked and saw Chase and his friends. Blitz was still in his battle mode with Sarah on top of him. "Chase Suno and Team Core-Tech!" Grandma Future cried. "In the flesh, Grandmom." Dax said. Grandma Future and Mr. Black growled. "Just one question, who are you selling this stuff to anyway?" Jinja asked. "She is selling it to me?" a familar voice said. The team turned and saw Droog with Trez, Dasha and Petros. "Droog!" Chase said. Sarah squeaked in fear and his behind Blitz's frill while he growled at them. "Ah, Droog, just in time." Grandma Future said. "Actually you're a bit early, how about coming back in.. never!" Bren said. Dax covered his mouth while Chase stepped forth, "No don't listen to him, we are really glad your here cause now we've got a real battle." "Sorry to disappoint you Chase Suno, but I am not here to fight, I came for the monsuno essence." Droog replied. "Uh, you do know we're not gonna let you take it right?" Jinja asked. "Then perhaps we shall do both. Petros take the essence. Dasha, Trez, prepare to spin out. And remember Dasha, let them follow you." "Done Master Droog." she replied. Petros leaped high and over the team and grabbed the essence. "I will be taking this, you will get your pay later." he said and he ran off with the essence. "Petros is getting away!" Chase cried. "Team Core-Tech, spin out. Blitz, get Sarah out of here to be safe." Blitz nodded and ran away with Sarah. "Woah!" Skystar moved a few yards away from the battlefield and Sarah dismounted him. He layed down next to Sarah, breathing a little heavy. "Skystar? Are you alright?" she asked. Skystar nodded, but his large stomach growled in response. Sarah rubbed his large stomach, "Oooh, Skystar, you're starving." Sarah dug into her pocket and pulled out a granola bar. This one had some berries and fruit in it. "Here Skystar, this should help." Skystar took the granola bar and ate it. Blitz licked his lips and nuzzled Sarah. "Hehe. Your welcome, Skystar." That's when Skystar spotted something out the corner of his eye and growled softly. "Skystar, what is it?" Sarah asked. Blitz stood up and walked over to the spot. "Is there something under here?" Skystar started digging in the spot and Sarah joined in. When most of the dirt was dug away, Sarah pulled out the item. "Woah." The item turned out to be a tube of monsuno essence! "Looks like there were two illegal shipment, huh boy?" Skystar nodded in agreement. "I can't wait to show this to Chase and the others." That's just a loud crash sounded in the distance. Skystar and Sarah turned around to see a large green beam shooting out into the sky. "Looks like trouble, let's go!" Sarah mounted Blitz and they both rushed over to the scene. Arriving onto the scene, Skystar and Sarah were greeted by TCT fighting Droog and his alien monsunos, but something was wrong. TCT's monsuno had purple lights instead of blue for some reason. "Okay, so that's weird." Sarah heard Jinja talking, "Droog must be transmitting the frequency somehow." The team looked around and saw purple sparks coming from the electricity lines. "The electricity lines, he's using the power cables as aerials." "We gotta take them out." Chase said. "Oh, but Jon Ace is gonna be mad." Bren whimpered. "Don't sweat it B, he'll forgive us. In a about a hundred years." Chase went to his monsuno. "Lock, his is a direct order." he pointed to one of the substations. "Slam Ram." Lock looked at the substation and rammed it with his body, making the substation fall over. "Timber." The team scattered and the substation crashed to the ground. "Charger, ram it!" Jinja ordered. Charger rammed the other substations sending them crashing to the ground. At STORM, power was going out in a control room. "Huh?" Jon said. Jerdy sighed in disappointment, knowing this had something to do with his son. "What going on here?" "Chase." he grumbled. "Sorry Droog looks like you can put this experiment into the big old fail column." Chase said. "On the contrary, the results have been most satisfactory." Droog said. "I am well on my way to having revenge on all monsuno essence." With that said he, his minions and monsunos walked away. Jinja sighed looking at the mess they made. "We disobeyed orders, lost the essence and destroyed the continental power grid." "Blezin Commandant Marshall Ace is going to have us doing chores till we're thousand years old." Dax said. That's when Blitz came over and Sarah leaped off. "It's not a total lost." she said showing them the essence tube. The team gasped. "Sarah, where did you find that?!" Bren asked. "Actually Skystar found it, hidden in the dirt and few yards from you guys." Sarah handed the tube to Chase. "Sweet, now we return to STORM with a completed assignment. Thanks Sarah." Sarah smiled at her friends. "Time to give you a long rest, Skystar." Sarah returned Skystar to his core, "Now, let's go home." Chase nodded and launched Evo and they all flew back to STORM. The Next Day Sarah was being scanned by Jerdy Suno in his lab. It was just yesterday when she sprouted a pair of wings and a tail. Chase and his friends suggested they should go to Chase's dad to see what happened. Sarah was laying down on the examination table while a green light was moving over her, sending the scans to Jerdy. Commandant Marshall Jon Ace, Lieutenant Trey and Storm Strike Squad were also present. "Anything Doctor?" Jon asked. "Why yes, Jon. It looks like the essence finished it's merging with her blood so now she's 50% human and 50% monsuno." "But what about the wings, snort and the tail?" X-Ray asked. "Hmm." Jerdy did more typing on his computer. "It looks when the fusion was complete the monsuno DNA made her grow the pair of wings and tail." "So you mean when the essence completely fused with her blood, she acquired the wings and tail?" Beyal asked. "That is correct." Everybody was amazed by this. "So what do we do now?" Alpha asked. Sarah got off the table and went over to the gain. "Until we have more information, we should be careful. The essence inside of her could be unstable." Jon warned. "Actually Jon, I ran a scan on the essence. It's completely stable with her blood." Jerdy said. "Really?" Jinja asked. Jeredy nodded. "So what's the plan for Sarah now?" Dax asked. "Well since she has wings now, shouldn't we teach her how to fly with them?" Chase suggested. Jeredy, Jon Ace and Trey thought about this for a moment. "Well… okay, but be careful, okay?" Jerdy asked. "Okay dad, we will." Chase said. "Come on Sarah." Sarah then found herself being dragged by Chase to the dock, followed by his friends and Sarah's pokemon friends. Once on the deck, Chase launched out his flying monsuno. "Evo, Launch!" The core 'clinked' against a cloud hopper and swan and eagle hybrid appeared. It cries majestically. "Alright Evo, we're gonna give Sarah her first flying lesson." Chase said. Chase got onto Evo. "Alright Sarah, copy Evo." Evo flapped his wings and slowly took to the skies. Sarah opened her wings and focused all her energy on her wings. Flapping them at a steady rhythm, she felt her body leaving the ground and she was a few feet in the air. "Nice now trying flying up here." Evo was twenty feet in the air. Sarah flapped her wings a little harder and she ascended higher and higher into the air. Soon, she reached Evo's height. "Great!" Sarah started to feel a bit of pain in her wings. "My wings hurt a little, gotta land." She breathed. She descended back to the ground along with Evo. "Phew." "Are you alright?" Jinja asked. "Yeah, just need more practice with my wings." Sarah replied. Chase leaped off of Evo. "Evo, Return!" Evo returned to his core. "You did well for your first flight." Chase commented. "Thanks." Sarah replied "Now what should we do?" "Maybe you should get some rest, Sarah. My dad said there maybe more changes in you cause that essence." Chase said. The rest of the team agreed with Chase. "Okay." TCT took Sarah to her room but before they entered they were approached by Strike Squad. "Aha, what are you doing here, Team Loser Tech?" Alpha asked. Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally growled at Alpha. "We're just taking Sarah to bed, Alpha." Chase said with venom in his voice. Strike Squad took notice to Sarah's wings and horn. "Woah, uh, what happened to her?" Kilo asked. "Yeah, last time we saw her she did not have the wings or the horn." X-Ray added. "An accident with Explise caused her to become half human and half monsuno." Jinja explained, shocking Strike Squad. "Seriously?" Tango exclaimed. "Yes." Jinja replied. "Right now, we're getting Sarah to bed so she can rest her wings." Chase said. "After she trains with us." Alpha interrupted. "Train with you? Who said anything about training her with you five?" "I did." Chase narrowed her eyes at Alpha. "We can train her ourselves." "Sorry Suno, but we can train her better than you losers can." Alpha stated. "No you can't." "Yes we can." "No you can't." "Yes we can." "Ahem.." Both teams froze and turned as they saw Jon and Trey coming towards them. "Now what's this argument about?" Jon asked. "Strike Squad wants to train Sarah." Chase said. "But we don't trust them with her." "We can train her better than you." Alpha gloated. Before Chase could rebut, Jon said, "How about this. Strike Squad will train Sarah one day and TCT will train Sarah another day. You two can take turns to train Sarah and her monsuno abilities." TCT and Strike Squad looked at each other. "For today, Sarah trains with Strike Squad and then tomorrow she'll train with TCT and the pattern will repeat until further notice." Trey added. "Understand." "Yes sir." TCT and Strike Squad sighed, looking at each other with upset expressions. Either way, Sarah went with Strike Squad who was about to head out on a mission. Once they departed TCT was approached by Jeredy Suno and Sophia Suno, Chase's mother "Chase, what's wrong?" Sophia asked. "Strike Squad has Sarah for the day." Chase grumbled. Jeredy and Sophia looked at each other with a knowing look and grinned at each other. "What's with the look?" Chase asked. "Nothing it's just that ever since Sarah came here..." Jeredy started. "You five have grown protective of her.. that's all." Sophia added. "Like a little sister." Chase and his friends didn't know what to say, "O-Oh please doc, no way." Dax dismissed. "Then why were you five do defensive about Strike Squad having her?" Jeredy asked with a raised eyebrow. The team stammering, trying to come up with an excuse, but they couldn't and the couple chuckled. "Sounds protective to me." Sophia added. A couple hours had passed and Strike Squad returned to STORM. By that time it was night. TCT was on the dock to see them coming out of the Cloud Hopper. Sarah was the last to come out and her hair was a little messy and she had small bags under her eyes. She managed to fall asleep while she was walking and walked right into Chase. "Come on Sarah, it's off to bed with you." he teased. Sarah mumbled while sleeping and Chase and his friends guided her to her room and placed her in bed for the night. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 3: Rival Teams/Mediator and Mane 6..? //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 3: Rival Teams/Mediator and Mane 6..? This is where the MLP Crossover comes in. Be Prepared The sun rose and shined through Sarah's window as she slept peacefully in her bed with her pokemon by her side. Suddenly... BOOM! ROAR! "GAH!" she screamed and she fell out of bed and onto the floor. The pokemon sprung to life as they heard roars and crashed from outside. "Ugh... what's going on?" she groaned. She exited her bedroom and went onto the deck to find Strike Squad, Team Core Tech on deck with Tripwire and Deepsix fighting each other. "Deepsix, Sea Cutter Strike!" Chase called. "Tripwire, Boloshock!" Alpha added. The two monsunos launched their attacks and they collided in an explosion. That's when Trey, Jon and Jeredy came onto the deck. "Strike Squad, Team Core Tech stop this instant!" Trey called but the teens were to into the battle to listen. "C-Can I try?" Sarah asked the adults. The three looked at each other, "Alright... give it a try." Jon said. Sarah nodded and walked into the battlefield just as the two monsunos were pouncing towards each other. The two came to a stop and skidded until they were inches from Sarah. "Sarah, what are you doing here?!" Chase exclaimed. "Stopping this fighting!" Sarah exclaimed. Her horn suddenly lit up and cast a bright light in the area which caused Deepsix and Tripwire to return to their cores. "Woah..." the three adults gasped in awe. When the monsunos' were returned, Sarah grumbled, "I'm going back to bed." and she turned around and walked back inside while the three adults confronted the two teams. Sarah entered her room and she flopped onto the bed. She sighed. "Why can't my friends just get along... well TCT get along with Strike Squad?" She liked the two teams but they always had this rivalry... which Strike Squad always started since they acted arrogant. She just wished there was a way for them to get along with each other. Jon, Trey and Jeredy entered the room. "Sarah?" Jeredy called. Sarah looked up at the three of them. "Yeah?" she asked. "I know you want TCT and Strike Squad to get along with each other, right?" Jon asked. Sarah nodded. "Well I think I know a way to help them get along." Jeredy said. Sarah perked up, "Really?" The three adults nodded. "So what's the plan?" Sarah asked. "Well, we were thinking we would put your on a deserted island nearby and then act like Explise kidnapped you and took you there. We'll send TCT and Strike Squad there to rescue you and hopefully they will learn to get along on their own." Trey explained. Sarah felt a bit nervous about that plan. "... A-Are you sure this is safe?" she asked nervously. "Yes, this will be completely safe." Jeredy reassured. "Alright..." Sarah agreed. "Mareep." "Rockruff, ruff." "Rarrr." "Oh, what about my pokemon?" Sarah suddenly asked. "They will be with Core Tech and Strike Squad." Jon added. "Okay.." Sarah said. "I'll do it." The three adults nodded and soon they were in a cloud hopper and they dropped Sarah off on a deserted island near the Cloud Carrier. She waved goodbye to them as they flew back to the Carrier. "I hope this works." Back at STORM, Jon Ace and Jeredy informed both TCT and Strike Squad of Sarah's 'capture' and assigned both teams to rescue her. While TCT were relucant to work with Strike Squad and vice versa, they knew they had to for their new friends sake. So the two teams climbed into two Cloud Hopper and flew off to the island where Sarah was 'being held'. They landed and looked around the area. "Any sign of where she might have went?" Chase asked. "I found footprints!" Kilo exclaimed. "Over here." The teams came over and sure enough there were sneaker footprints in the ground. "Those must be Sarah's." Alpha said. "Strike Squad, move out." Alpha and Strike Squad raced ahead. "Team Core Tech, let's roll." Chase said and he and his friends followed after Strike Squad, hoping Sarah was alright. Sarah was walking aimlessly through the large forest when she felt and heard her stomach growling. She rubbed her aching stomach, "I really should have eaten breakfast before doing this." she groaned. She spotted one tree had some apples in it. "Good.. thing.. I'm used to.. climbing." she grunted as she climbed the tree. She made it to the branch and was about to pick the apple when... Rustle Sarah froze for a second and looked around but she didn't see anyone there. She sighed in relief and turned around... only to be met with a cream muzzle. "Hello!" a voice said. "GAH!" Sarah screamed and she fell out of the tree and onto her stomach. "Oooww." "Oh my god, I'm so sorry." she saw a yellow hoof come into her view and it helped her us and she was face to face with six ponies. One was a yellow pegasus with a long pink mane and tail with three butterflies on her flank. The second was also a pegasus but it was blue with a rainbow mane and tail and on her flank was a cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt. The other was a Earth Pony with a yellow mane and tail that were tied at the ends and she was orange with three red apples on her flank. She also wore a cowgirl hat. The other Earth Pony was light pink with a darker pink mane and tail and she had three balloons (two blue and one yellow) on her flank. One was an alicorn who was purple with a dark blue mane and tail with a pink and purple streak in them and she had a pink star with five little white stars around it on her flank. The last was a unicorn who had a curly purple mane and tail and she was marshmallow white and her flank had the three blue diamonds on it. Sarah has never seen anything like her but there was one thing for sure. This was no monsuno. "Umm... hello... um.. pardon me, but what exactly are you?" Sarah asked. "Oh my name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends; Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie and Rarity. What's your name?" she asked me with a big smile. "My name is Sarah." "Well Sarah, it's nice to meet you." Twilight said. "So what are you doing here?" "Oh, I'm trying to bring some of my friends together." Sarah said. "They have been rivals for a while and I want them to get along with each other." "Well we can help with that." Rainbow Dash said. "Yes, we have a little experience bringing ponies or in this case people together." Twilight said. I smiled at the six mares. Suddenly... I heard a loud roar in the distance. "What was that?" Applejack asked. "I don't know, but it can't be good." I ran ahead with the mares following me. We came to a clearing and hid behind a thick bush. I saw TCT and Strike Squad tied up together and surrounded by, "Explise, Droog, Talis?! Oh no!" "Who in the hay are they?" Applejack asked. "They are bad guys who are after me cause of my power." I replied, referring to my horn and wings. "And they have my friends. I've gotta save them." "We can help." Pinkie said. "How?" Sarah asked. "I can use my magic to free them." Twilight said. "And I can swoop in and take out those humans." Rainbow said. "Okay, but if they launch their monsunos, large hybrid animals, you girls will be in trouble. I've gotta help you." Suddenly, they heard a warble and saw a dragon coming out of the bushes. It was white with pink glimmering sparkles on it's body. It had a thin ridge on it's back. It had four legs with black claws on the ends and a triangular tail fluke. "Woah... a Light Fury." Sarah gasped. The dragon looked at the ponies and human curiously and went up to Sarah and nuzzled her. "Hehe, you're an affectionately little dragon aren't you." Sarah cooed. Fluttershy cooed at the dragon, "She's beautiful." she said. Twilight and the others were amazed, "Woah... that's different. Usually Fluttershy is afraid of dragons." Twilight said. "Um, can we get this resuce operation underway please?" Rainbow asked annoyed. "Right, you wanna help us out, girl?" Sarah asked the Light Fury. The Light Fury warbled. "Great." TCT and SS looked at Explise. "Now where's that little hybrid human of yours?" he asked. "We will never give her up." Chase said. "Yeah you blezers." Dax added. "So forget it." "Oh really?" Explise said. "Then maybe this will persuade you.. Ordon.. Launch!" Explise launched the core and Ordon came out and roared at the teens. "Now will you tell me where the hybrid is?" "I'm right here!" Sarah said as the Light Fury roared and blasted Ordon. "What?!" Explise hissed. Twilight rushed over to the teens and used her magic to untied them, "Come on hurry." Rainbow Dash zipped around the adults at blinding speed, making dizzy. The Light Fury blasted Ordon with plasma blasts as it flew away along with the others. They were on the beach now with the teens catching their breath. Sarah and the Light Fury landed. "Are you guys okay?" "Yeah, we're good. Thanks to you and the horses." Dax said. Rainbow got in his face, "Hey we're not horses, we're ponies." "Okay, okay, chill Skittles." Dax said. "Skittles?!" Rainbow growled. "Now now Rainbow, don't start a fight." Fluttershy said. "Yeah, this calls for a party, Woo-Hoo!" Pinkie Pie cried happily. "Not yet Pinkie Pie. How did you guys get captured anyway?" Sarah asked. "It was there fault." Alpha said, pointing at TCT. "Our fault? How were we suppose to know, you step on a tripwire?" Chase replied. The two teams, except for Kilo, X-Ray, Beyal and Bren argued with each other. The Light Fury growled and blasted the plasma blast on the ground, gaining the bickering parties attention. "Guys... this was suppose to help you guys get along, not drive you apart even more." Sarah said. "What are you talking about?" Bravo asked. Sarah sighed and explained everything to the two teams. They were both shocked and a bit upset but they understand. "If you guys are going to train me then you guys have to work together, or else I won't learn anything." "Yeah, you're right Sarah. Sorry." Chase said. "Yeah, well try to get along better." Alpha added. "And if you need help with your magic, I can help you." Twilight offered. "Yeah and I know all about super strong flying." Rainbow said. "Thanks girl, now let's get back to STORM. Stormswift, launch!" Sarah launched the core and her hippogriff monsuno came out with a majestic cry. "Hop on everyone and everypony." The teens, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie climbed aboard and Stormswift flew into the air along with Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. You can bet the adults were surprised to see the gang return with six ponies and a dragon. Either way, the girls seemed nice so the let them stay in TCT's rooms. Twilight stayed with Bren. Rarity stayed with Jinja. Rainbow Dash stayed with Chase. Applejack stayed with Dax. Fluttershy and Pinkie stayed with Beyal The Light Fury stayed with Sarah in her room. The white dragon seemed attached to be her which she didn't mind. That same night everyone was asleep in their respective rooms. Outside on the deck, a cloud hopper landed and a soldier came out of it. He entered the cloud carrier and walked down the hallway to a specific room... Sarah's room. The soldier carefully and silently walked into the room and over to Sarah's bedside. He took out a large rope with two medium sized, rings attached to either side. He attached one to Sarah and one to himself. Once they were secured then, he proceeded to lift Sarah out of her bed and made his way to the door but as he was making his way to the door, The Light Fury began to groggily wake up and when she saw the stranger with her friend, she roared at him. Her roar woke up everyone and everypony in the area. The figure made a run for it with the Light Fury on his tail. "What's going on?" Rainbow asked as Chase came out. Chase moved out of the way of the figure, "Am I crazy or was he carrying Sarah?" Chase asked. The Light Fury rushed passed roaring, "You're not crazy." Rainbow said before flying at her top speed after he guy with Chase behind her. TCT, the Mane 5 and Strike Squad all appeared. "Chase, what's going on?" Jinja asked. "Someones kidnapping Sarah." Chase informed. "What!?" Everyone exclaimed. "We have to stop him, come on." Chase added. They all chased after the figure until they were on the deck. The Light Fury and Rainbow had cornered him against a cloud hopper. "Drop the girl, freak." Rainbow growled. The Light Fury roared. The figure took out a red core and said, "Demise, Launch!" he spun the core out and it hit the side of a cloud hopper revealing a monsuno that seemed to be the perfect counterpart of Lock. Demise's physical form merges aspects of gorilla, bear and crocodile, coupled with the large spikes that emerge from his knuckles, shoulders and back. TCT recognized that monsuno. "SIX?!" They all exclaimed. "Took you long enough." Six stated. "Demise, Howling Fire!" Demise launched a fireball at the ground creating a large explosion, knocking Rainbow and the Light Fury back. "Rainbow!" Twilight and the girls rushed to her side as they both got up. When the smoke cleared, Six, Demise and Sarah were gone! "Kragg, Six got away with Sarah." Chase said. "Who is this six fellow anyway?" Applejack asked. "A bad guy who we thought was our friend at first. But he turned out to be another clone made by Explise." Jinja explained. "And now he has Sarah who knows what Explise will do to her." "We have to tell Jon Ace and my dad." Chase stated. Everyone agreed while the Light Fury warbled, worried for her friend. "Don't worry, girl. We'll get her back." Bren reassured. The Light Fury nodded and everyone went off to tell the adults. Meanwhile, the sun was out and Sarah woke up... only to find herself strapped to a table with a large laser pointing at her. "GAH! What the-? Where am I?!" "You're in my lab, little girl." a menacing voice came. Sarah turned and saw Explise, Tallis, Droog and their followers appear. Sarah tried to break free but the manacles were too strong, "D-D-Don't even t-t-think of t-t-trying to ess-s-scape." Tallis stated. "Yeah, we made those things unbreakable." Drezz added. Hargrave walked over to a console attached to the machine. "And now it's time to finally place you under my control." Explise laughed. "Once this laser is fully charged, you shall become my servent. Six, watch her." "Yes father." Six stated as the others walked out of the room. Sarah struggled to break the restrains but it was invain. "Why do you listen to that guy?" Sarah asked. "Because he is my father and I must obey." Six replied. "Don't you see he's gonna get rid of you once he has me, right?" "No way, father would never get rid of me. I'm his son." "And what father and son things have you two done together beside deceive my friends?" Six tried to come up with an answer but he couldn't think of anything. "If he was really your father then he would show some form of care for you rather than give you orders like a robot." Six didn't reply to that and continued to guard her. Back at STORM, Trey was busy trying to pinpoint where Sarah could have been taken to. "Any luck, Commander Trey?" Jon Ace asked. "Nothing yet, sir." Trey replied. Jeredy was with the teenagers and ponies. "Are you sure it was Six, son?" "Yes dad." Chase stated. "And now that Explise has Sarah, he'll no doubt try to place her under his control." "We have to find before that ruffian does anything to her." Rarity added. "But we don't know where to start looking for her." Twilight pointed out. Sarah's pokemon and Light Fury were very worried about their trainer and friend. "Don't worry, we'll find her.. somehow." Rainbow groaned, "Why can't I just fly out and look for her?" "Because Explise may have her hiding in a base." Chase stated. "If only we had some kind of clue as to where she was." Just as he said that a purple glow filled the room and standing in front of everyone was a purple sparkling... Twilight? "What the-?" Chase exclaimed, looking between Twilight and the sparkling version. "Who the kragg are you?" "I am not Twilight, I am only the messenger. You all must hurry. Your friends needs you." Astral Twilight stopped her hoof and all of them were suddenly teleported to Explises lab! The same place where he held Sarah before. "Woah, what the blezers!" Dax exclaimed, looking around. "Okay... what was with the sparkling pony?" Kilo asked. "Um hello, we have to save our friend?" Tango reminded. Silvally growled and suddenly rushed off. "Silvally, wait up!" Chase called. Everyone chased after the Normal-Type Pokemon until they came to a large room with a large laser pointed at Sarah! "Sarah!" Everyone cried. Sarah gasped. "Guys." Six growled, readying his core, but Mareep rushed over and grabbed it out of his hands with his mouth. "Hey!" Rockruff then launched Rock Throw at him, knocking him off his feet. Silvally and the Light Fury rushed over to Sarah and slashed the bounds, freeing her. "Thanks." Sarah mounted Silvally and he came over to the others. "Sarah, are you alright" Alpha asked. "Yes, I'm okay." Sarah said. "Good now let's get the kragg out of here. Evo, launch!" "Deadfall, Launch!" Bravo added. The two monsunos were launched. TCT and the pokemon rode on Evo while the Mane 6 rode of Deadfall. They flew out of the room, down the tunnel and burst through the rock ceiling of the lab. As they were flying back to STORM, the sparkling Twilight appeared again. "You again?!" X-Ray exclaimed. "You're not our Twilight, are you?" Rainbow asked. "Isn't that obvious?" Dax deadpanned. The sparkling Twilight shook it's head. Then Twilight realized, "You're the Tree of Harmony?!" Astral Twilight nodded. "The Tree of What?" TCT and SS asked. "The Tree of Harmony is most powerful source of magic in Equestria. It grew the Element of Harmony which me and my friends represent, but I never knew it could do this." Twilight explained. "Like all living things I change as I grow. As I have grown so have my abilities." Astral Twilight stated. "How'd you know where Sarah was?" Tango asked. "I know may things, young Tango, like I know Sarah will need your friendship to help her unlock her true power." "True power?" Alpha asked. "Yes, A power that can be a blessing and curse depending on her cause. But I know with good friends like you all by her side, she'll use her power for great good." Astral Twilight then sent out a beam at Sarah and a golden necklace with a white crystal in the shape of a heart appeared in the center. "Woah..." Everyone gasped. "This shall slowly help Sarah unlock her true power. Use it well and wisely, Sarah." Astral Twilight smiled before disappearing in a white flash. "Woah... that is one creepy tree." Bren said. "You call it creepy. We call it awesome!" Rainbow exclaimed in joy. Sarah rubbed her necklace and the gemstone in the center. "Something tells me we're in for a wild ride." Twilight said. "That started when we met you six." Chase commented. "Hey!" The Mane 6 exclaimed. TCT and SS laughed as they all flew back to STORM. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 4: Scepter of Light //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 4: Scepter of Light TCT, the Mane 6 and SS were up one bright morning. They were all going to Sarah's room to get her up. Her door opened, "Sarah, wake up." Chase called. "It's time for breakfast." Chase got a groan in response, "I don't want it." "Huh?" Pinkie asked. A hoarse cough came next and some sneezing. TCT approached Sarah's bed and saw her back facing them, "Sarah, are you alright?" Beyal asked. Sarah sniffled and turned to face them, "Do I look alright to you?" she asked hoarsely. TCT, the girls and SS gasped. Sarah was horribly pale with horrid bags under her eyes. Her hair was messy and she looked really weak. "Woah.. uh... what happened to you?" Kilo asked. "I-I don't feel so well." Sarah groaned before she swayed back and forth and then collapsed. "Sarah!" TCT Cried. The Mane 6 and SS came over to her. "What happened?" Rarity asked. They all saw her chest was glowing green again. "Oh dear, something's very wrong." Beyal said. "Let's go get my dad." Chase said. Everyone nodded and they all went to Chases' dad with Alpha carrying Sarah in his arms. Soon Sarah was on a table being scanned in the infirmary. Jon Ace and Trey were present as well. "How is she Doctor?" Jon asked. "According to the scans. The essence inside of Sarah is reaching critical levels." Jeredy said. "Critical Levels?" Twilight asked. "Yes, the essence is becoming too much for Sarah's body to handle. If we don't stabilize the essence soon, it will destroy her." Jeredy added earning a gasp from everyone. "Can't you send a frequency into her, Doctor?" Jon asked. "No, the frequency might make the essence levels rise even more." Jeredy said. "But we have to do something." X-Ray stated. "But what?" Suddenly, there was a glow and a sparkling version of Twilight appeared in the room. https://camo.fimfiction.net/T87i9CsJTH8KmKtcjUnjt7dKaCQYCjsDBxwiwf3t3ms?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.tvtropes.org%2Fpmwiki%2Fpub%2Fimages%2Fastral_twilight_sparkle_appears_again_s8e22.png "I believe I can lend some assistance." it said. "Tree of Harmony?!" The gang exclaimed. "The who?" The adults asked. The Tree walked over to the gang. "I can lend you something that shall heal your friend." it said and them six familiar gemstones appeared. https://camo.fimfiction.net/gNH0aRcSKxss5R9FEV0GeKf14wwsacKGDPJ8L2Wk0ro?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Fa6%2Fca%2Ffc%2Fa6cafcd0db10d3dc161e7d81419d257d.png "The Elements of Harmony!" Twilight gasped. The tree floated them over to the gang and the Elements of Loyalty, Kindness, Generosity, Honesty and Laughter became necklaces on the Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie's necks while the Element of Magic became a crown on Twilight's head. "So.. uh, what do they do exactly?" Kilo asked. "They have the power to heal and banish anything. They are the most powerful weapon in Equestria." Twilight explained. The girls formed a circle around Sarah, "And now we're going to use them to heal Sarah." Twilight concentrated and her Element glowed brightly and the other five Elements glowed as well. "Woah..." the teenagers and adults gasped. The Elements sent out a magical ring around Sarah and she floated into the air a little. Jeredy checked her essence levels. "Her levels are becoming stable again!" he cried happily. The magic ring went into Sarah and she was lowered back onto the table and the girls landed on the ground and their Elements stopped glowing. "Woah... tense." Chase gasped. "Yeah, they're pretty awesome." Rainbow added. Sarah's eyes squinted before they opened, "Huh? ...What happened?" she asked. "Easy Sarah, your essence levels were at critical but Twilight and the girls healed you." Jeredy said. "Now your essence levels are back to normal." "Okay.." Sarah said. "Now you should rest just in case." Jon said. Sarah nodded and the gang led her to bed. The Next Morning One morning in the room, Jinja was taking a nap. She was having a peaceful map when a fly landed on her nose. She smacked the fly away, waking herself up. Sitting up she looked at her calendar, “What day is it?” she pressed the button and noticed the third day was circled. “Oh, it’s my birthday!” she sighed, “Talk about the most boring birthday ever, guess my friends forgot.” Then she heard a voice coming from outside the room, “Oh, let’s take Jinja on a whale watch for her birthday.” “Or did they?” she got up and went to the door. It opened, and she peeked to see her friends talking about what to do for her birthday. “It’s off season and there won’t be any whales, so it’ll be cheaper for us.” Dax suggested. “No way, I think we should take her to see the animated movie about the cheese that wants to join the ballet.” Bren added. “Guys, I think I know Jinja best, so I’ll decided, she’d like a classic picnic in the park with a piñata and hide-and-seek.” Chase added. The boys liked it. “That is so Jinja.” Bren agreed. “She’ll blezin love it.” Dax said. That’s when Jinja came out of hiding and she didn’t look happy. She went on about how the suggestions were horrible and the boys didn’t really know her. All her scolding woke up , she had a sleeping mask on her face. “Wha-What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing Sapphire.” Jinja said. She was about to walk away when Commandant Marshall Jon Ace appeared on the screen. “Team Core Tech, look alive. Explise has just blow a massive hole in the middle of Centium City. Suit up you’re going in.” The screen disappeared for a second then reappeared. “Oh, and Jinja, Happy Birthday.” And they disappeared again. “Yeah, thanks.” Jinja grunted. Sarah came up and hugged her, “Happy Birthday.” Jinja sighed but she had to smile at her. Soon the team arrived at Centium City and were going down the hole that was blown into the city. The hopper landed, and the team came across a large temple with pillars that had pictures on them. “And things just got creepier.” Bren commented. Chase looked at Beyal, “So you assume that because I am a monk I can read this strange language as well?” “Well, can you?” “… Yes.” Beyal went to one of the pillars. “It is a warning made by someone called the Mad Monk. He built his temple centuries ago. To protect a glowing treasure from the heavens.” “Monsuno Essence.” The team exclaimed in unison. “So Explise came here for monsuno essence. Must be something more special about it than usual. Let’s go get it.” Jinja said. “Wait.” Beyal cut in. “There is more. The Mad Monk warns of the temples’ many guardians including his spirit.” Jinja gasped softly, while Bren got even more freaked out. “Ha, a ghost? There’s no way this place is haunted by a gho-“ He was cut off when a ghostly roar was heard sending shivers up his back. “I’ll wait out here.” “Haunted, Smaunted.” Dax scoffed. “If Explise wants to get out with that essence he’ll have to fight his way out. Come on, we gotta find the entrance to his thing.” Dax walked off with the others, except Bren followed… until he decided to not stay at the front of the temple. “Hey, wait up guys!” he called. The team saw Dr. Explise at the door to the temple. “Hold it right there, Explise.” Chase stated. Explise turned, “Try as you might, but you won’t survive without these.” He claimed, holding a golden key and a scroll. Laughing, he opened the temple door, entered and closed it. “oh Blezin fantastic, he’s getting’ away.” Dax exclaimed. “We have to stop him.” Chase said. “I’m afraid I can not allow you to do that.” A voice came from behind. TCT turned and saw Petros, Dasha and Terz followed by Droog. Sarah squeaked and hid behind Jinja. “Droog and the Armpits of Destiny. Ugh. I rather face the Mad Monk.” “He will probably let you live, while we on the other hand we not.” Dasha said. “So you’re here for the essence too? What’s so great about it? What? Is it cherry flavored or something.” “Legends suggests it is concentrated, more powerful than you can imagine.” Droog said. ‘We only recently learned of the legends truth after spying on Exlipse, he did all the work and we simply had to follow him.” Petros explained. “Be our guest, we’d like to see you duke it out over a silly legend.” Chase said. “That is not the plan.” Droog added. “We will avoid the temple traps and guardians by merely stealing the essence from Explise when he is done and you shall not get in our way.” Droog, Petros, Terz an Dasha launched Quorp, Zornax, Quarb and Klorg. “Deepsix!” “Mysticblade!” “Shellshot!” “Clubber!” “Skyfall!” “Skystar!” “LAUNCH!” All the cores ‘clinked’ together and the mosunos appeared. “Kragg, happy birthday to me.” Jinja groaned. “Don’t worry Jinja, the parks’ opened late and you’ll love the piñata.” Chase reassured. “Zornax, use Syconis Ray.” Dasha called. Zornax blasted Deepsix and he glowed green. He turned around and used Depth Fire on TCT’s monsunos. Skystar was the only one whom dodged the attack. “No Deepsix, Attack the other way! The other way!” Chase ordered. In no time, the battle went down hill for TCT. Shellshot, Clubber, Mysticblade and Skyfall were defeated only leaving Skystar in battle. The monsuno landed near her controller. The four alien monsunos cornered the team. “This is not good.” Chase said. “Not good as in we’re dead meat?” Bren whimpered. “What a coincidence little Bren, our monsunos are hungry.” Petros said. Skystar roared at the four alien monusnos. "Worst brithday.. ever." Jinja grumbled. Skystar roared at the four monsunos. "The temple is our only cover, lets go." Chase said. TCT, except for Sarah ran up the stairs of the temple until Jinja stepped on one and it went down and the ground began shaking, "Umm guys.. I think I just activated whatever that is." Then a large boulder came down from ceiling and rolled down the stairs. "Watch it!" Chase said. He and his friends leaped out of the way. "Oy, Sarah, what out!" Dax called. "Huh?" Sarah turned and saw the large boulder, "GAAHH!" Skystar grabbed her owner and flew out of the way while Droog and the Hand of Destiny ran away and jumped off of a small cliff. "Well.. that was unexpected." Sarah said as Skystar put her down. "Thanks for the save, girl." Skystar purred and nuzzled Sarah. "Return girl." Skystar glowed blue and she returned to her core. "It appears we no longer need a key." Beyal said seeing that gaping hole in the door caused by the boulder. "Then let's get to that essence before Explise does." Chase said. "Yeah, super powered monsuno essence in the hands of that freak bait can not be a good thing." Jinja added. The gang entered the temple and came into a room that had lava waterfalls on the sides and a large door in front of them. "Huh, Explise came in here but I don't see a way out. So I only have one question.. can we please leave this place is haunted?!" Ben asked frantically. "Bren there is no such thing as ghosts." Jinja said. Then a haunted cry was heard. "Woah did you hear that maybe Bren's right. Maybe this place is haunted." "Of course I'm right!" Bren exclaimed. "It appears Explises' key deactivates the temple's obstacles. Sadly, we do not have that benefit." Beyal said. "I'm guessing the key would but off the lava, letting us by." Chase said. "And sine we don't have the key, looks like we're not getting by." Dax said. "Boys, we have something much better than a key. We have monsunos." Jinja said. She put on a strike glove and a launcher and placed Charger's core inside and aimed it at a chain. "Charger.. Launch!" The core spun and hit the chain, released Charger. "Charger break that chain." Jinja ordered. Charger snorted and broke the chain using his antlers and the door fell into the lava, cutting it off and some stones steps came up and headed for the door. "Come on guys, let's go." Chase said. His friends followed him as they leaped across the stones and down a hallway. Then, Sarah saw something out the corner of her eye. A small glow coming from... the wall? "Huh?" Sarah went over to it and touched the wall. The wall suddenly glowed and moved to the side revealing a hidden passageway! "Woah..." she gasped. She slowly walked into the passageway and the wall closed behind her, leaving her in the dark. "Uh oh... that can't be good." she gulped nervously. "Hello... is anyone there?" she called out. She saw the glow at the end of the passageway and she continue to walk slowly through the dim hallway. She reached the glow and came into a large room that had a small podium in the center and floating over the pedestal was a Scepter. The Scepter was golden with a light blue diamond shaped jewel at the top. "Woah..." Sarah walked up to the podium and she grabbed the Scepter in her hands. The jewel glowed brightly and then went out. "Wonder what this is..." Sarah wondered. She looked around the room, "Now... how do I get out of here?" Sarah asked. Suddenly, a section of the wall came out and moved to the right to reveal another passageway. "...Guess I found it." Sarah walked down the passage came out in another room. She saw her friends on a weird spiritual circle, a creepy ghost and Explise. "What? How did you escape?" Explise growled. "Sarah, be careful!" Jinja called. The Mad Monk Ghost hissed and flew towards her. Sarah gasped and suddenly swung her scepter at the Ghost. "Get away!" Suddenly, the jewel blasted a sphere of power and it knocked the Ghost back. "Woah! What the-?!" Sarah exclaimed. "What the kragg was that?" Bren exclaimed. The Mad Monk Ghost then flew back up into the shadows. "No, come back, I need that monsuno essance. I need it." Explise called as Sarah came over to her friends. "Are you guys alright?" she asked. "We're fine." Chase said. Explise growled at Sarah, "You'll pay for that. Ordon.. Launch!" he spun out his core and Sarah did the same, "Skystar, launch!" The two cores clicked and Ordon and Skystar roared. "Lava Bomb!" Ordon launched Lava Bombs at Skystar. "Up into the air!" Skystar soared into the air with a proud cry and she dove for Ordon, crashing into him and knocking him into a wall. "Now Energy Pulse! Full Power!" Skystar formed a sphere of energy in her mouth and launched it at Ordon. The attack hit directly and Ordon roared and he returned to his core. "Grrr. curse you Team Core Tech!" Explise exclaimed. Skystar landed near the team, "Come on guys, let's go." Sarah said. TCT nodded and they all got on Skystar and she flew out of the cave and through the air back to STORM. "Sarah, where did you find that scepter?" Beyal asked. "I don't know.. there was a glowing in one of the walls and I followed it. It lead me down a hidden passageway and there was a podium with the scepter floating over it. I grabbed it and the jewel glowed." Sarah explained. "Woah... maybe my dad knows." Chase suggested. "Maybe." Sarah looked at the scepter, "What are you?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 5: Pokemon and Dragons? //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 5: Pokemon and Dragons? Today, Sarah was playing with Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally on the deck. Sarah threw a ball and Mareep and Rockruff chaed after it. Rockruff grabbed it and brought it back to Sarah. "Good boy, Rockruff." Sarah cooed. "Rockruff." "Mareep." "Hehe, alright Mareep, your turn." Sarah threw the ball and the sheep pokemon bounded after it and got it in his mouth and brought it back to Sarah. "Good boy." Sarah said. "Hey Sarah." Sarah and her pokemon turned and saw Chase, Alpha and their respective teams. "Hi everyone." "What are you doing?" Beyal asked. "Playing with my pokemon." Sarah smiled. Mareep and Rockruff cried happily. "Where's Silvally?" Dax asked. "He's over by one of the Cloud Hoppers, keeping watch." Sarah said. The teams saw the Normal-type pokemon standing by one of the yellow Cloud Hoppers' keeping watch. "He sure acts serious." Chase said. "Can't he just play like the other two." "Yeah, he plays when he wants to but most of the time he acts protective." Sarah explained. "Must be nice having a pokemon." Bren said. "Yeah it is." Sarah said as Mareep and Rockruff rubbed against her legs. "Wonder if we had a pokemon." Jinja wondered. "Where did you find them anyway?" "Well... it was a few years ago... Flashback Sarah was walking through a large forest, sluggishly and exhausted. Her stomach gave a loud growl and she rubbed it with a grimace look. She barely eaten anything for a couple days now and was on the verge of collapsing... which she did. When she woke up she came face to face with a... blue sheep and a brown and white puppy? "What the-?" she asked herself. She sluggishly sat up and groaned a little. Suddenly a different pokemon came up to her with a apple in its mouth. It looked like a mixture of different kinds of animals. Sarah took the apple and devoured it quickly. "Ugh... thanks." she said. The three pokemon smiled and her and the brown puppy nuzzled her and the blue sheep rubbed against her leg. "Now... what are you?" "After that, I went to a library and found a book on what they were. A Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally. From that day on, they followed me everywhere and protected me." End of Flashback "Woah..." Chase and the others were amazed. "Ever since then they became my best friends." Sarah added. "Mareep." "Rockruff." "Grr." "Who knows, maybe one day, you guys will get a pokemon partner." Sarah added. TCT and SSS looked at each other in wonder. Maybe one day they will get a partner. Who knows? The Next Day The next day, TCT and SSS were in the cafeteria together.... literally together.. at the same tables next to each other. They were trying to become friends with each other for Sarahs' sake. And speaking of Sarah, she and her pokemon came into the room with their food. "Hi Sarah." Chase greeted. "Hi Chase. Hi everyone." Sarah greeted. "Rockruff." "Rarr." "Mareep." Sarah sat down next to Jinja. Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally sat a few feet away from the group. Rockruffs' ears then perked up and he barked, "Rockruff!" "Rockruff what is it?" Sarah asked. The teams looked out the window and saw something large and white heading their way! "INCOMING!" Bren exclaimed TCT and SSS scattered as the large figure crashed into the window and slammed into the tables.The Mane 6, Jon and Jeredy came into the cafeteria, after hearing the loud crash. "What happened here?!" Jon exclaimed. "And what the hay is that thing?" Applejack exclaimed. TCT and SSS looked at the creature and saw that it was white with glimmering textures with a long, thin ridge running down the spine, two triangular tail flukes and four small nubs on the head. It was 22 ft (6.7 meters) long and it had a wingspan of 42 feet (12.8 meters). https://camo.fimfiction.net/bIvxWUMFj-mgYHFDXYzkE4gJmcWfSitGKfnNFkYMPh0?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fhowtotrainyourdragon%2Fimages%2Fa%2Fa6%2FROB-LightFury-Transparent.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20190206044037 "What the kragg is that?!" Bren exclaimed. Sarah hmmed, "One sec." She dashed out of the room and then came back with a large brown book in her hands. She opened it and read, "Light Fury, a relative to the Night Fury. Smart, Fast and very elusive, this Stike Class dragon can cloak itself within its ionized Oxyacetylene flames aka plasma blasts." "Woah.. so this thing is... a dragon or something?" Dax asked. "A Strike Class Dragon." Sarah said. "Woah.. I never saw any dragon like that." Twilight said. "And its hurt." Beyal said. The Light Fury had scratches on its body and head. "Let's get her to the infirmary. Silvally." Sarah said. Silvally came over and Twilight levitated the unconscious dragon on its back and Silvally took it to the infirmary where she was treated for her wounds. She was now laying on a blanket on the floor asleep. "She's beautiful." Fluttershy gasped. "Yeah..." Chase said. The Light Furys' eyes soon blinked open and she warbled, looking around. "Hey girl.." Sarah cooed. The Light Fury snarled and roared at her with her wings semi-spread. "Easy girl.. you're alright... I'm not gonna hurt you." Sarah said and she held her hand out to the Light Fury. The Light Fury warbled and cooed at Sarah before sniffing her hand, cautiously and she rested her head in her palm. "That's it girl." The Light Fury warbled. The Light Fury then noticed Chase and all the others and warbled, "It's alright, they're my friends." Sarah said to her. The Light Fury stood up and cooed. "So, uh do we set it free now?" Bravo asked. Sarah petted the dragon on the head. "Yeah.. come on girl." TCT, SSS, Jon and Jeredy went out on the deck t bid the Light Fury farewell. "Take care girl." Sarah said. The Light Fury nodded and flew into the air but it suddenly fell onto the deck! Everyone gasped. The Light Fury got up and tried to fly again but it fell back onto the deck. "What's wrong with it?" Tango asked. "Hey look!" X-Ray pointed to it's tail.... that had only one tail fluke! "Oh no!" Sarah gasped. "So it's missing a tail fin, big deal." Alpha said. "Alpha, it can't fly if the tail fluke is destroyed. It's grounded." The Light Fury let out a roar in frustration. "Poor thing." Jinja said. Sarah went up to the Light Fury and rubbed its head. "Don't worry girl, I'll help you." she said. The Light Fury warbled and Sarah nodded. "Come on, let's get you inside." Sarah lead the Light Fury inside and took her to Jeredy Suno's lab. Jeredy scanned the tail in his computer and it brought up a schematic for a prosthetic tail fin. "Right, with this prosthetic it will act just like the real tail fin for your Light Fury friend." he said and the Light Fury smiled. "I think she's excited, Dad." Chase grinned. "Right, let's get to work." Jeredy said. It took some time but with TCT and SSS's help along with Twilight and the girls. They were able to make the prosthetic tail fin for the Light Fury. (Like this) https://img.youtube.com/vi/jFQUE_6Zhn0/mqdefault.jpg "Alright big girl, your tail is ready." Sarah cooed. The Light Fury gave a happy roar as Chase and TCT brought over the tail. It was the same size as her other tail in and looked exactly like it but it had metal rods to keep it in place and was covered with strong covering. It was made so the Light Fury could also move it on its own. They placed the new tail on the Light Fury and she happy looked at it. "Alright, now for the true test." Sarah said. Everyone was now out on the deck and the Light Fury had its wings out, ready to fly. "Go ahead girl!" Sarah exclaimed. The Light nodded and she flapped her wings and she soared into the sky and stayed in the sky! "Yes! It worked!" Sarah called in joy. Everyone else cheered happily as the Light Fury gave a proud roar and soared right back into Sarah. "Woah... hahaha! Hey girl." The Light Fury licked her and pawed at her with her claws. "Hahaha, now go on girl, you have somewhere to be right?" The Light Fury shook her head and nuzzled Sarah. "I think she wants to stay with you, Sarah." Beyal said. Sarah looked at the Light Fury, "Is that true?" The Light Fury nodded and Sarah smiled. "Alright then..." The Light Fury warbled and cooed and Sarah giggled. "Man, the girl has pokemon and a dragon, unfair." Dax whined. "Now now, Dax, we'll get our pokemon and a dragon someday in the future." Chase reassured. "Yeah.. I guess you're right mate." Dax smiled. TCT, SSS, the Mane 6, Jeredy and Jon Ace watched happily as Sarah, Mareep, Rockruff and Silvally played with their new friend; the Light Fury. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 6: Rising from the Battle //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 6: Rising from the Battle Today, Rockruff was running around STORM HQ, barking. "Rockruff Rock!" The puppy pokemon pounced off and the walls and hopped across the floor until it came to Jeredy's lab where TCT, SSS, the Mane 6, Jon and Jeredy were. They were all scanning Sarah to make sure her essence was stable, as a precaution. "Hey Rockruff.." Chase greeted. Rockruff growled and Chase and tried to bite him! "Woah! What's wrong with you!" he exclaimed in shock. "He's been acting more aggressive lately." Alpha said. "Yeah, wonder what's wrong?" Jinja added. The scan was done and Sarah sat up and explained, "When Rockruff becomes more aggressive and tries to act more aggressive that means it's going to evolve soon." "Evolve?" Chase asked. "Yes, Rockruff can evolve into three different forms of Lycanroc; MIdday, Midnight and Dusk. Each form depends on the Rockruff you have. A Rockruff with the ability Own Temp can evolve into Lyncaroc (Dusk Form)." "Woah... so what form will your Rockruff evolve into?" Beyal asked. "That depends on Rockruff." Sarah replied, getting off of the table. Everyone looked at the Puppy Pokemon wondering what it would evolve into. Later that day.. Storm Strike Squad and Sarah were flying the Cloud hopper to Mechnolpolis. "There is it. The ruins of Mechnopolis." Kilo said. "So what was it? A city or construction site?" Bravo asked. "Both." X-Ray replied. "Famiales worked in Mechonolpolis factoring giant structures and air crafts day and night." Kilo whistled. "Like trucks and tanks?" Bravo asked. "Bigger than that. STORM's original Cloud Carriers were originally built here." Alpha said. "Woah, so uh, why'd it shut down?" Kilo asked. "No one really talks about that." X-Ray said. Tango sighed and Sarah and Rockruff noticed it. They landed the Cloud Hopper, "Alright everyone, make sure you're fully equipped." Alpha said. Tango looked at the interior of the city. "Hey, you okay, Tango?" X-Ray asked. "I am fine." Tango replied and the group walked in. Sarah was holding Rockruff in its arms to keep him close. They entered the large complex and X-Ray scanned the area. "Woah that's weird. I'm getting background readings of monsuno essence coming fromt everywhere." "I don't want background readings. I want the cases that we came here for." Alpha said. SS and Sarah walked along, not knowing that there was someone watching them. "Rockruff!" "Rockruff, what is it?" Sarah asked. The Puppy Pokemon leaped form her arms and ran ahead, "Rockruff!" Sarah and SS chased after the Puppy Pokemon and Rockruff led them to some containers of monsunos essence. "Woah, he found it." Kilo said, surprised. "Great job, Rockruff." Sarah said. "Let's get them and get out of here." Alpha said. "Not so fast." SS and Sarah looked up and saw... "SIX?!" "You've walked right into my little trap." Six grinned. "Trap us? Please. Strike Squad." Alpha said and SS readied their cores but Six pressed a button and a large claw headed towards them. "Stand two. Tango, Sarah get out of here ASAP!" Alpha ordered. Tango was freaking out, "A bad place, not a good place." Tango said. The claw came over the boys and Tango had enough, "No, no, it is happening again, Gah!" Tango screamed as she ran away. "Tango wait!" Sarah chased after her and Rockruff followed her. The duo followed her into a darkened area of the building. Sarah and Rockruff found Tango breathing hard and shaking. "Tango, what's wrong?" Sarah asked. "It is the city?" Tango gulped and looked at Sarah. Sarah kneeled down to her height, "I'm here if you wanna tell me, okay?" Tango nodded and explained. "No one knew it but the city had been built upon a meteor crash sight. A meteor filled with monsuno essence. The essence seeped its way into the machinery and it turned against us. The city was a threat to us s we had to leave and never return." "So that's why you were acting weird when we came here." Sarah said. "It's where you grew up." Tango sighed, "I'm letting my fear get the better of me." "Tango, don't think that. Everyone gets scared because of their pasts. But it takes ture courage to face the past and you may come out to a brighter future." Sarah said. Tango looked at Sarah deeply and nodded, "Now how about we go and save your boys?" Tango smiled and nodded. The girls walked through the building for hours until they finally crawled through a pipe that lead them to a large room with a large tub of monsuno essence and there was a small cage nearby. "Tango, there." Sarah pointed. Tango saw her boys, Jinja and Dax in there as well. "Jinja, Dax..? Chase and the others must have been sent here." "Come on." Tango said. Sarah nodded and the two girls quietly ran across and leaped down near the cage. "Tango? Sarah?" Bravo said. X-Ray shushed him and Jinja waved in Tango's face, gaining her attention and then pointed at their cores on the table nearby. Tango and Sarah rushed over, "Not so fast little girls." Explise said. Sarah gulped and took out his core. "Odon, launch!" Explise summoned Ordon and Tango and Sarah ran to the side and stopped as Ordon ran towards them and placed them in its shadow. The two girls hugged each other in fear. Suddenly.. "Rockruff..!" A Rock Throw came and hit Ordon. "Rockruff!" Everyone called. The Puppy Pokemon charged Ordon with a Bite Attack ready but Ordon smacked the pokemon into the wall. "Rooo." Rockruff cried in pain. Sarah gasped but Rockruff bounced back and unleashed his bite attack on Ordon, biting it on the nose. Ordon shook its head and tried to shake off the pokemon but it's grip was strong. "What fighting spirit." Tango said. "Now Rockruff, Rock Throw!" and Rockruff unleashed Rock Throw right in Ordon's face and it roared in pain and Rockurff backed off. "Odon, Lava Bomb!" Ordon launched two large lava bombs at the trio. "Lookout!" Alpha stated. Tango and Sarah screamed and Rockruff charged the Lava Bombs and in an instant it started to glow blue and changed shape. "Is it...?" Kilo asked. "It is...." X-Ray cried happily. "It's evolving... awesome!" Sarah exclaimed. The glowing stopped and the pokemon cried, "Roooooooo!" It evolved into Lycanroc (Dusk Form) https://camo.fimfiction.net/b49qP-QXlq_G6wZGQkIj4FGUrOG3l_NKiLyP4pg2AzI?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F1433%2F5988%2Fproducts%2FLycanroc_large.png%3Fv%3D1525101965 Lycanroc howled and charged the Lava Bombs and it's center rock glowed orange and it pushed them back. "What was that attack?" Bravo exclaimed. "That was Counter!" Sarah said. "Alright!" Lycanroc growled and Ordon growled at it. "Lycanroc, Accelarock!" Lycanroc glowed white and charged Ordon, knocking it back. "Wicked mate!" Dax said. "Lycanroc." "Now use Rock Slide!" Lycanroc leaped into the sky and large boulders surrounded it and launched them at ordon, damaging it greatly. "Now use Bite to finish it!" Lycanroc howled and charged Ordon and use Bite attack on it and Ordon returned to it's core. "Alright Lycanroc!" Chase cheered as he and Bren leaped down on the area. "Now Lycanroc, free the others." Lycanroc howled and used Accelarock on the bars and broke them. Dax, Jinja and the boys walked out. Explise growled. "Six, your turn!" "Archaic Lock, Launch!" Six launched the core and what came out was an Explise version of Lock. Everyone gasped and Explise laughed, "Like my new creation. It acts just like Chase Suno's lynchpin." Lycanroc growled and Sarah brought out, "Mareep, I choose you!" "Mareep!" "Archaic Lock, Strafing Lava!" Six called and Archaic Lock blasted a large amount of lava towards the group. Mareep countered it with Thunderbolt but the blast still hit the sheep pokemon, causing it to become badly burned and it crashed into the wall. "Mareep!" Sarah called frantically. Mareep staggered to his feet and growled. "Mareep...!" It cried out and it glowed blue too. "Mareep's evolving too?!" Chase exclaimed. Mareep grew taller and it now stood on two feet instead of four and when the light disappeared, "Flaffy..." it revealed a pink, bipedal, sheep-like Pokémon. It has thick, conical ears with black stripes on the sides of its head and small, blue eyes. A white mane of wool covers its head and upper body. This mane forms sideways curls on the top of its head. It has stubby arms and one nail on each foot. It's long tail has black stripes and is tipped with a blue orb. https://camo.fimfiction.net/It3brlHeG4DJFwm1-rybaS-L-pkQhF9u92vsI2H221M?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.pokemonpets.com%2Fimages%2Fmonsters-images-300-300%2F180-Flaaffy.png "Flaffy, alright..!" Sarah cheered. Flaffy then charged Archaic Lock and it was suddenly covered in electrical energy! "What the blizers?!" Dax exclaimed. Flaffy cried out and charged head first into Archaic Lock and it sent it flying back and it crashed to the ground. "That was Volt Tackle!" X-Ray identified. Everyone looked at him. "What I researched pokemon moves. Sue me?!" Flaffy came back and growled. "Flaffy." Archaic Lock staggered to his feet. "It's over Explise, leave this place..!" Sarah demanded. Explise growled as well as Six but the two ultimately knew they were defeated... this time. "This is far from over. We got what we came here for." Explise said. Six returned Archaic Lock and the two ran away. SS and TCT returned to Storm and the adults admired the two evolved pokemon. "Amazing... they both evolved at the same time..?" Jeredy asked. "Yep." Sarah said proudly. Silvally roared, happy for his two evolved friends. "Looks like your pokemon are growing up, Sarah." Chase smiled. "Yep." Lycanroc nuzzled Sarah with its mane. "Hey, that hurts. Hahahah!" Sarah laughed. "Well, Lycanroc still acts like Rockruff though." Jinja chuckled. Flaffy then nuzzled Beyal. "Hehe, Hey there." "Flaffy." Everyone knew from that day on, there was more to pokemon then what meets the eye. //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 7: Sick Day/ Cosplay Pikachu //-------------------------------------------------------// Episode 7: Sick Day/ Cosplay Pikachu Chase Suno and his friends were walking down a hallway with Strike Squad. "So whose day is it to train Sarah?" Chase asked. "It's our turn Suno." Alpha said. "And she's gonna nail her training cause she's with us." TCT rolled her eyes. "You know it wouldn't kill you to stop bragging." Jinja stated. "Yeah right." Alpha smirked. "It's what we do best." "And there he goes again." Bren whispered to Dax, who chuckled. "Lycanroc! Lycanroc!" Suddenly Sarah's Lycanroc (Dusk Form) came running down the hallway. "Lycanroc, what's wrong?" Dax asked. "Lycanroc, Lycan." Lycanroc looked very upset about something. "Something must be wrong." Beyal said. Lycanroc pulled on Chase's pants leg. "You want us to come?" Chase asked and Lycanroc nodded and the two teams followed Lycanroc to Sarah's room. The doors automatically opened and they heard. "A-Choo!" The teams looked and saw Sarah laying in bed; her nose really red, with bags under her eyes and had an ice pack on her head. Snowflake, Flaffy and Silvally were by her side, looking worried. "Flaffy?" "Rarr." "Sarah!" Chase and the others went over and Sarah gave weak smile. "Hi guys, cough cough." "Sarah, what happened?" Jinja asked. "Just a small.. achoo! Cold.. sniffle." Sarah replied. "How did you get a cold?" Kilo asked and Sarah shrugged, "Don't, cough cough, know." Flaffy cooed and rubbed her arm. "Aww.. flaffy." "I'll go get my dad to check her essence levels." Chase said and he ran out of the room and returned minutes later with his dad. He had a scanner in his hands, that he would use to scan Sarah's essence levels to see if the cold was effecting her condition. He scanned it over her body. "Is it bad, Dr Suno?" Beyal asked. "No, luckily the cold isn't effecting her essence levels. They are still stable as before." Jeredy informed, much to the teams' relief. "So what do we do?" X-Ray asked. "Easy. Take care of her." Jeredy replied. "HUH?!" The two teams replied in unison. "Take care of her together That's all." Jeredy said slowly. "Us work with them?" The two teams said in unison pointing at each other, "No way!" "Come on you guys. I can get along with each other." Jeredy urged. The two teams looked away from each other. "Please.. you guys.. cough cough... for me.." Sarah asked with a sniffle. The two teams sighed and looked at each other for a moment before they said, "Fine.. we'll work with each other..." Jeredy and Sarah smiled. Later TCT and SS got to work taking care of Sarah. TCT took her temperature and changed the ice pack on her head while SS watched over Lycanroc, Flaffy, Silvally and Snowflake. "Sniffle... thanks guys.." "No problem mate." Dax said with a smile. "As long as there are no surprises around the corner, we should be good." Chase said but as soon as he said that they all heard, "Pika!" "What was that?" Bren asked. "Pikachu!" "What kind of sound is that?" Alpha asked. "It sounds like a pokemon." Kilo said. "Pikachu Pika." "It sounds like it's coming from the hallway." Bravo stated. "Pika! Pika!" TCT and SS looked out in the hallway... and saw nothing. "Hmm.. looks like we have to find that sound." Chase said. "Pika Pika." The two teams nodded and they went out as music started playing in the background as they searched STORM for the sound. https://camo.fimfiction.net/tG8iCQysHbE9VvewIxl82PwdkI_PC52-UwRj3JhxhXg?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.bulbagarden.net%2Fupload%2Fthumb%2F8%2F89%2FCosplay_Pikachu_anime.png%2F250px-Cosplay_Pikachu_anime.png When the song was over, TCT and SS were at the breifing room. "The sound is coming from here." Kilo said. "Let's see what it is." Chase said and the doors opened and revealed... five Pikachus? "What the-? Pikachus?!" Bren exclaimed. "Corplay Pikachus! You can tell by their black tipped tails. But since when did they wear costumes?" X-Ray added. "Maybe Sarah knows what they are?" Bravo suggested. "Right, let's take them to her." Tango said. TCT took the five Pikachus and took them back to Sarah's room and she explained that, "Yep they are Cosplay Pikachu alright.. cough cough. The one dressed in the dress is Pikachu Belle. The Rock Star one is Pikachu Rock Star. The doctor one is PhD Pikachu. The pink suit pikachu is Pikachu Pop Star and the superhero one is Pikachu Libre. They are all electric type pokemon." 250px-Cosplay_Pikachu_anime (https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/8/89/Cosplay_Pikachu_anime.png/250px-Cosplay_Pikachu_anime.png) "Pikachu." the five pikachus said in unison. "So... uh... what do we do with them?" Kilo asked. "We can't have them running around Storm like crazy?" Sarah smiled and looked at Chase, Jinja, Beyal, Bren and Dax, "Maybe TCT could have them?" "Us?" Chase asked. "Yeah, you five wanted your own Pokemon and these guys are very helpful." Sarah said before she sneezed. "Well... she does have a point." Bren said. The Pikachu he had was Pikachu PhD. "And they are cute little guys." "Yeah." Beyal said looking at Pikachu Belle. "Well... alright, we'll keep them." Chase said. The five pikachus cheered happily and leaped into TCT's arms and knocked them to the ground and they all shared a laugh. Now TCT has pokemon of their very own. What will this mean in the future? Stay tuned... Sorry for the shortness.
