Justice Hero Scootaloo
The Beginning Era: Sidelined - The Mission Begins
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRob and Scootaloo boarded the ship. "We don't know what's on here, so stick close to me." Rob said.
Scootaloo nodded. "Right." She responded. However, not too long after that got on board, the filly noticed a large boat and several rescue boats next to it. "What's this about." Scootaloo said.
"...The United Nations Army?" Rob asked, noting the logo on the larger boat. He and Scootaloo headed on ahead, which is when they saw a bunch of soldiers trying to get through a door. Rob was ready to fight them when they aimed their guns at him.
"Hey, if it isn't the man himself." A voice from one of the soldiers said.
"...Virus?" Rob asked as a lone male of the group stood up.
"It's nice to see you again. Oh, and your buddy's here too." Virus said, removing his mask.
Rob turned to the more decorated officer. "...Aaron." Rob said.
"What are you doing here?" Aaron asked.
"...There was a strange distress signal coming from this ship. I followed it. And I will find it's source if it's a cry for help like I believe it is." Rob said. "What about you?" He asked.
"...That information is not for an outsider." Aaron said.
Scootaloo couldn't help but notice the wince Rob made at that.
"Commander, we're all prepped." One of the other soldiers said. They tried to bomb the door open, but failed.
"No dice. Looks like we're going to have to use the laser to slowly burn our way through. This is going to take a while." Aaron said.
"We've tried using explosives, but it's tricky to pull off without cartoral damage." Virus said.
Scootaloo just flew ahead, before managing to somehow, open the door. "...Or you can just do what I did...apparently." The filly said.
"Hmph." Aaron said. "You really shouldn't be here. Neither of you. This is an United Nations Army mission only." He added.
"You don't even know what could be in here. It could be anything." Rob said. "So, if I must agree to it, I'll stick to the regs until all survivors are accounted for and rescued." He added.
"...Fine..." Aaron said before heading ahead with the soldiers.
"And you, you're going to have to follow orders too." Rob said. "If you can't handle that, you can just wait here." He added.
"Fat chance." Scootaloo said. If Rob is agreeing to follow orders here, then fine. He must have some reason. Is it something with Aaron I wonder? She thought to herself.
Rob and Scootaloo headed forward, soon discovering a large open space.
"...Took you long enough to take the bait." A male voice called out.
"Crusader." Rob said. Suddenly a robed human popped out of nowhere.
"That was such an easy trap to pull to lure you hear. I mean come on, a radio frequency only your equipment could pick up? It should've been obvious." The human said.
"You tricked me into coming here? I don't like being tricked." Rob said. "This has to be why you still can't get that sword of your to work." He added.
"What's someone like you doing on a United Nations Army vessal? Did you disable it's engines?" Aaron asked.
"Oh yes. That was me. But if your looking for the humans, well they are long gone. I killed them. Every last one of them. You would've done the same, if you saw what I saw they were carrying on this thing." Crusader said. "No one should treat Pokemon like slaves let alone create an artificial pokemon capable of destroying half the planet once it's complete." He added.
"So there are still Pokemon surivors here? Fair enough." Rob said. "We'll just rescue them. But as for you, even if you were to get past me, you'd have to deal with some United Nations Army Soldiers." He added.
"Of course, the artificial pokemon isn't the only thing on this ship. There's something else that drew me here." Crusader said.
"...Another high powered demon, similar to Grand Train." Rob guessed. "Crusader, if that's what your after to kill, then let me help you in that at least." He added.
"On the countrary, I'm going to kill--" Crusader was saying before suddenly a giant robot assembled. "What the--?" He asked before a strange man showed up.
"So the United Nations Army has shown up? Then I can have some fun." The man said. "Call me Delinquent." He added.
"So, Delinquent, what is your goal?" Rob asked.
"I plan on using the laser device on board this ship to destroy Russia's capital city. Once it's destroyed, anarchy will reign over that place and the country will eventually cease to exist." Delinquent said.
"!" Crusader branded his sword towards Delinquent at that. "No! I can't let you activate that laser device!" Crusader said. "Looks like we're going to call truce again, Rob." He added.
"I didn't look forward to fighting you yet anyways." Rob said.
There was a huge battle, and eventually, the robot was defeated.
"...I'll be back." Delinquent said before fleeing through the opening his robot created.
"...Hmph. I'll be going on ahead." Crusader said before going on ahead.
A bit later, the group was now in the room more standing at attention.
"We don't know why this Crusader would kill the crew and spare the Pokémon aboard, and why Delinquent wants to use the laser device on board this ship. We can't allow Delinquent to gain control of the device, or Crusader to roam free. And here's what we do know outside of that: The electrical system aboard this place is all pervasive. As a result, we're going to have to form a tight group and move as a group." Aaron said. "This is because our com systems are useless." He added.
"Oof. That's smarts." Scootaloo said.
"Rob, it seems your suit's com systems still work with this place and can patch through to me despite everyone else not being able to." Aaron said.
"Expert helped me make this suit, so that's no surprise to me." Rob said.
"I see. For now, stick close by. We're heading to where we've detected a mass energy spike on the ship. It could very well be that Artificial Pokémon Crusader spoke of. Priority one is to find any survivors and bring them to safety; no matter what they may be." Aaron said. "For now, I'm tasking you Rob to go ahead and check the energy spike." He added.
"Right. Scootaloo, you stick close by then." Rob said before heading off ahead with Scootaloo.
