Jag – Officer’s Dispatch 37
Recent Duties: Jackie Chiles: outsmarted, outfoxed, outlawed! At long last, sweet justice has been served, and Mr. Chiles got what was coming to him for tainting the legal system. Unfortunately, there is one matter on which you're forced to agree with him; after seeing that bomb dropped on your own troops, you have to admit that you never know what a bomb is going to do.
Troop Status
-Supplies: Schmitzer SMGs, Armored Flak Vests, Deluxe Laywers’ suits, briefcases full of legal documents, and a fleet of jet-skis, much to Vidal Sassoon's disapproval.
-Morale: There's certainly a lot less talk of dissent among your ranks now that William Mattar, your longest-serving member, is out of the way. Of course, your legal successes may also have something to do with that. With a big case, you could make a lot of money, after all. Ha ha ha.
-Health: Many of your men are worried about the health side-effects of the bomb dropped by the Spherans. Harvey Birdman is once again concerned about the possibility of cancer. You certainly hope that such is the case; the Spherans would be legally dead in the water if it was!!
Military Communiques
-It seems that the worst of your earlier suspicions and the fears you discussed with Karsh and Lord Keldon have come to pass; the Spherans somehow managed to get their hands on the Republic's greatest secret weapon. There has simply been too much suspicious activity for this to be anything but an inside job. Major Xelme agrees and has ordered you to uncover the leak at any cost.
-To assist you in your assignment, you have been sent a special man: Armshand Seravian, who has just now arrived at your tent. Apparently, he has experience working in counter-intelligence, and may prove useful to your investigations.
Personal Notes
-Clearly, this new assignment from the brass makes you into some kind of secret agent. Such a thing was really more Balarai Snowe's specialty, but you're sure you can handle it. And the first thing any secret agent needs is a good cover. Such as perhaps a news-reporter or something. Such a story would be certain to fool all your dull-witted companions while you investigate this case!
-Technology is really an amazing thing. Since you're going to be so busy on this case, you decided to buy yourself a new wireless pager, so that your men can contact you at any time.
-On a similar note, Shellbach is quite excited (well, for him) about his new wireless lap-top. Because of its wireless coverage, it allows him to get work done practically everywhere, even possibly in places as remote as Dubai (wherever THAT is...)
-That MEGALODON is certainly an amazing and mysterious creature. You've heard unconfirmed reports that there have somehow been shark sightings in nearby mountain lakes, in spite of their distance from the main waterways of the Shining Plain. Oh well, you're no marine biologist, you just assume sharks can do that sort of thing.
Mini-Objective
-Make up as many ridiculous aliases and cover-stories as possible in your new role as a secret agent.
-Bring to justice any and all Spheran traitors.
Atobe Keigo – Officer’s Report 37
Recent Duties: It still irks you to no end that some might claim you were taken out of the picture by a lawyer. You're sure Jackie Chiles was just in some way abusing the combat rules anyway. And you're not at all surprised that he was apparently consorting with the Spherans. Lawyers seem to have a bad habit of doing that...
Troop Status
-Supplies: FLAME-THROWERS, crimson uniforms, kamikaze headbands, Crimson Armor of the Republic, and your original Coca-Cola hat.
-Morale: Your confiscation of your boys' cigarettes has of course made then sullen and surly, not that this is news. You've tried practically all the disciplinary tactics you know (mainly, beating) with those kids and you're almost at the end of your rope. Your last idea is that maybe an even more awe-inspiring mascot can stir them to the greatness that you deserve.
-Health: The confiscation of their smokes seems to have at least improved Seigaku's health, since the habit didn't manage to last for very long. Still, with the general life-expectancy of your troops so far, most of them would argue smoking is the last thing they have to worry about.
Military Communiques
-Fortunately, you have not received any battle orders as of yet, and remain stationed with Mace and his men. Much as you're all for battlefield glory (or at least, your own), with such devastating bombs against you, you don't think your boys are ready for the frontlines just yet.
Personal Notes
-You've heard some disturbing rumblings from the other troops that you and your men haven't been doing your job as the frontline melee troops of the Republic. It sounds to you like these whiners just want you to be tanks for them. As a matter of fact, the Republic already has several actual tanks meant for just such a purpose. You're sure these fine vehicles are more than capable of filling this job.
-Like the impressionable youths they are, the one thing that's excited your troops is the monster legend discovered in that cave. Of course, you don't really believe in such legends, but if you did, they would surely involve mighty Flammie. Unfortunately, 'mighty' is a bit of a strong word, he really hasn't been growing like you'd hoped. There must be a way to evolve him into a true monster of epic proportions, but sadly you're in fact not much of an expert on Pokemon.
-Kids sure are into technology these days. Echizen has acquired a new camera phone of which he seems quite fond. He claims it's so that he can stop any crimes if he sees any, but you suspect that's not quite what he's taking pictures of...
-This isn't the first time you've wondered just where Jag's loyalties lie. Tezuka just told you that he saw a Spheran heading into the lawyers' tent since arriving here at the camp. You wouldn't at all be surprised if Jag was in with them too – you'll have to keep an eye out to see if he does anything suspicious.
Mini-Objective
-Find a way to evolve Flammie into an even more powerful Pokemon.
-Talk up the merits of tanks and their ability to stop all invaders as much as possible.
Pacci – supreme Commander’s Report 29
Recent Duties: That Jackie Chiles! He got what he deserved for trying to keep YOU out of such IMPORTANT MEETINGS. Clearly, you need to be kept better apprised of what's going on around here. You're sure if it had been you giving the orders to the Conventionals instead of this Gol Draam, that disaster with the bomb wouldn't have happened.
Troop Status
-Supplies: PK-33 Handguns, SIR Rifles, Bright Yellow Deluxe Uniforms, Combat Helmets, a Verizon wireless cell-phone, an amazing vintage Pacman arcade machine, and Protoman’s whistle.
-Morale: The Pac is only used to two-dimensions, and thus doesn't quite know how to handle the prospect of bombs falling from the sky. However, you're pretty sure you've seen a sphere like that bomb before, and it can only mean one thing...
-Health: Hachachac!! The Pac isn't too pleased about the pungent odor of smoke that now usually fills their tent. How did this happen, you may wonder? Well apparently some people think they're more important than they really are. Unfortunately, you have bigger problems to deal with right now.
Military Communiques
-None! How outrageous! In anticipation of the many calls you should be receiving, you've taken to carrying around your wireless cell-phone and waving it around as much as possible so that everyone knows they can reach you.
Personal Notes
-You have exciting and dire news! While exploring those mysterious caverns, Bumblebee came across a small shard of mysterious metal, the likes of which you've never seen before. Although you don't know what it could be yet, you suspect that any such strange metal can only be used for making robots. And who do you know that makes evil robots? That's a question that really hardly needs an answer.
-Since arriving at this supply base, your own tent has been commandeered! The culprit is some high-ranking Conventionals officer by the name of Field-Marshall Model, who came storming in and demanded to make use of your tent as a command centre. However, the only thing you've seen him command since doing so is a box of expensive cigars and a bottle of cognac. Normally, this would be an outrage, but right now tracking down Dr. Wily takes priority.
Mini-Objective
-Identify the mysterious piece of metal found by Bumblebee.
-Destroy any and all evil robots of Dr. Wily.
Dust – Officer’s Report 31
Recent Duties: Given his blatant corruption of the Electran judicial system, you're not at all surprised to hear of Jackie Chiles' treachery. Anyone who eats unhealthy candy bars like that just can't be trusted. Unfortunately, the Boyos may have much greater health problems to worry about; not that you're one to believe in such blarney, but that black mountain above the clouds simply can't be a good omen.
Troop Status
-Supplies: X-3 Phantom Rifles, Camouflage Scout Uniforms, Sniper Scopes, Rifle Tripods, Climbing Spikes, and a whole box o’ good luck in the form of Fortune Flakes cereal.
-Morale: This unreliable legend of the “monster that will destroy the world” has your Boyos in quite a state of unrest. They haven't had much in the way of Denchulli luck when it comes to dealing with wild monsters in the past. You really hope this is one bit of blarney that doesn't come true.
-Health: Denchullis generally have their own brand of medicine to which they subscribe. There's not too many Electran doctors that would advocate the treatment of hiding under a rock, but that's exactly what your Boyos like to do when there's potential health ailments like monsters around.
Military Communiques
-In spite of that bomb of a set-back, you hope that General Gol Draam will have this whole situation wrapped up shortly. Bombs and monsters just aren't something your Boyos were born to deal with, the green grass of Denchul is seeming awfully appealing right now.
Personal Notes
-The presence of the Egg has reminded you of the inherent humor of mocking all avians. Besides, it might take a good 'yolk' or two to cheer up your frightened men.
-You don't know what to think of all this 'monster' business, and would rather it just went away. Lt. Surge, on the other hand, claims to be something of an enthusiast on the subject. You heard he even has a friend staying with him who's a renowned expert on a different sort of such monsters, or 'pok-ee-mon' as they seem to call them.
-Echizen and Keigo's boys seem to be quite getting into their 'artwork.' Just today, the boy showed you a drawing he made of 'Momoshan,' the 'Monster of Overly Strict Mothers.' You have to say, colored in red and snorting fire, it bears a hilarious resemblance to Keigo. It's all you can do not to laugh out-loud while looking at it.
-Speaking of Seigaku, the seeds of Revolution are still strong. Right now, the kids are upset at Keigo confiscating their cigarettes, and have come to you asking for help. Although you can't completely condone such an unhealthy habit, a set of good cigars on the other hand would make a good substitute, given their strong association with certain revolutionary figures...
Mini-Objective
-Make as many puns involving the Egg's name as possible.
-Obtain some cigars for Seigaku to support the Revolution!
Lord Flash – Officer’s Report 15
Recent Duties: WAP!!! It's become clear to you that some people could really use a lesson in communication around here. Particularly that Jackie Chiles, who obviously hadn't heard the news that YOU'RE GOD!! Second on the list is that Admiral Tubby, since you could've shot down that Spheran bomb if only he'd given you a plane!! As usual, it looks like it's up to Flash to bring such teachings into the world.
Military Communiques
-Obviously, since the saga of your life is far from over (in spite of what the presence of your ghost might suggest), it's still far too soon to begin work on your airforce paperwork. He'll be able to pick it all up eventually in your best-selling autobiography (which will, of course, be ghost-written).
Personal Notes
-WAP!!! That's something you've been hearing a lot about recently, and not just from you saying it. Apparently, this amazing acronym stands for 'Wireless Access Protocol,' a technology that's quickly becoming all the rage all across the planet (much like you). In an age where more communication is definitely needed, this could be the perfect technology to fill the gap. And naturally, the only way to make such a thing popular is for YOU to acquire as much of it as possible. After all, if there's one thing this world needs, it's more WAP!!!
-Impressionable young children are usually the best targets for any sort of advertisement. They're the wave of the future, after all, which is why it's even more important to get them interested in the right religion. Of course, you know very well what that is, but your remastered video of 'The Ivy Collection' is certain to help convince them. If you can ever get your ghost to stop watching it, that is.
Mini-Objective
-Obtain as many devices involving amazing wireless technology as you can.
-Punch as many people as possible while making some clever pun related to WAP!!!
Zeke – Officer’s Report 26
Recent Duties: Ezekiel has seen the the wheel, and it was way up in the middle of the air. The way that big round bomb came hurtling out of the sky was beautiful, finally giving the Conventionals a piece of what they deserve. You're just glad you weren't sitting in any kind of grounded plane when it happened. Now, the war's almost over, and you've just got a little longer to watch yourself as you step on the cross. You don't want your foot to slip, and your soul get lost...
Troop Status
-Supplies: Hacksaw Shotguns, Biker Helms, Steel Breastplates, brand new leather Wheel jackets, Zeke’s Tent of Horrors, different multiple watches, Delta Mark IV motorcycles!!, a wooden walking stick and a “rented” video camera.
-Morale: Your 'barbarian' boys aren't any too pleased about going up against the kind of firepower the Spherans have been showing off, but you've assured them that they won't have to. With any luck you're hoping your troops will be sitting right here until this thing blows over.
-Health: The Wheel is ripped and ready to rumble. There ain't nothing that can stand in the way of your boys now.
Military Communiques
-None
Personal Notes
-Your old pal the Egg is elated to see your Delta Mark IV's, and about your very positive comments concerning them. He's been clucking over those things like a mother hen ever since he hatched them on his slide rule. Even now, he's giving them a once-over at your camp with Mr. Fixit to see how they've been performing.
-You're a little concerned about Hermione's study habits; she seems quite taken with this wireless MP3 player that she's recently acquired. She claims that it's great for studying, since it lets her listen to music while keeping her hands free for her text-books, but you're not entirely convinced. Plus, you really wouldn't mind having it for yourself.
Mini-Objective
-As usual, make as much money as possible.
-Comment as often as possible about how you could make a lot of *money*!!
The adventure opened right where the last one left off. Jag was attempting to awaken his fallen companions with cups of hot coffee, which wasn't going over well. Suddenly, the building started to shake from artillery shells, and the stairway to the basement collapsed. The heroes rushed outside (although a belligerent Seigaku seemed to want to trap Keigo in the falling building) and saw a platoon of desert-camouflaged tanks led by Major-General Edward Byrne-White approaching up the road with several Conventionals platoons. The heroic troops had to break through the line to escape the enemy-occupied city.
Fortunately, back-up was arriving in the form of Zeke and Dust, the latter carrying an airforce radio to command Lord Aeolus and his pilots. Laying down cover fire, they allowed the othes to break past their opponents and race towards freedom. Zeke even had time to knock on Byrne-White's tank and formally tell him goodbye. However, as they were passing by a large warehouse, Keigo's men heard sounds from inside and decided to knock to see who was in. This proved to be a big mistake, as the warehouse erupted as a massive reptilian creature burst from within. It was a giant black Spheran drakkhaan, and on its back was Vygrymm himself. The mighty Spheran dragonlord swept to the sky and began decimating any unit upon which he descended.
Fleeing the city just in time, our heroes make for the nearby Velguard hills seeking cover. They dart into a cavern while the airforce momentarily distracts the Dragon's wrath. Exhausted, they settle down to explore, and soon find a strange set of markings on the wall. They appear to be a strange prophecy, stating that when a black mountain appears above the clouds, a monster will appear to destroy the world. However, the world will then be saved by two other monsters who will appear to battle the third. Of course, most present, especially Jag, don't believe in such superstitions.
After spending the night in the cavern, the heroes' troops are discovered by Captain Mace and his contingent, commander of the few remaining Auxiliaries. Mace had been ordered to set up a supply base in the area and enlisted the heroes in doing so. In the meantime, the other Special Forces had re-captured Ellivia, putting Grand-Marshall Vonderveck and his renegade Conventionals on the run. General Gol Draam, along with 60,000 men, were in hot pursuit of the small group of Spherans who had left the city with Kilant.
Mace led the heroes to his command tent, where they found a familiar figure waiting: the Egg. After the obligatory eggy comments, the Egg switched on his latest invention - the Automatic Plot Event Monitoring system. Major Xelme was demanding an update on the pursuit. Mace's scouts meanwhile had reported a hidden gulch which would allow the Conventionals to make up time and trap the escaping Spherans in a narrow valley. The Duke of York would lead the vast majority of the troops along this pass, while Draam himself would take the most mobile troops and circle around to cut the Spherans off and force them back into the valley.
However, as our heroes watched this maneuver through the cameras, they sought the Conventionals troops at the head of the Duke's column come up against a menacing sight: Vygrymm the Dragon, alone, crouched in the snow sword drawn. As they raced to the attack, the Coalition leader slammed his sword and foot into the earth, releasing a mighty shockwave that flattened the hapless soldiers, causing a small avanlanche and shorting the cameras.
Secondary cameras came online further back in the Conventionals column, just in time to show an ominous black jet coming fast up the gully. With a melodramatic tag-line, Lady Draven of Stormwind let fall a glimmering silver sphere that our heroes instantly recognized with horror: it was the Atomic Bomb, encased in Dr. Wily's beryllium sphere. Everything went black on the screen, and the roar of the explosion was heard even from our heroes' position. In addition, a black cloud of smoke that looked eerily like a black mountain rose into the sky over the blasted battlefield. Our heroes could only wonder with trepidation what this black omen would bring as they received their reports for the day.
When the action resumed, the Egg was in popular demand. One might have called it an eggstravaganza, if one was in fact Dust. Flash found the scientist first, inspecting the bikes at Zeke's tent. The latter was expressing how please he was with the vehicles' performance, stating how he and the Egg could make a lot of money if they marketed the bikes. Flash was quick to inquire if the bikes contained any wireless technology. Egg replied in the negative, but said that his amazing new pipe he'd developed did, and it was capable of shorting out computer equipment if unscrewed into two pieces. Flash asked to borrow this pipe, in exchange for helping to incorporate WAP into the bikes. It turned out his way of doing this was to punch Egg in the face while saying WAP!!! After which he ran off with the pipe.
The Egg took some time to recover, before Pacci arrived. He wanted an analysis of a mysterious shard of metal that Bumblebee had found in the caverns. After a few experiments, the Egg excitedly concluded that this could only be Space Titanium. Pacci asked if this could be used to make robots, and the Egg agreed the super-metal could make a very powerful robot indeed.
Keigo was next to visit the Egg, but unlike the previous two, he was unable to help her. Although he did loosen his tie, and get mocked repeatedly by Dust. Apparently, he was no expert on Pokemon, which is what Keigo wanted to know about. She next visited her own sergeant, Brock, inquiring about methods for training and 'growing' Pokemon. However, Brock was only an expert on rock Pokemon, for which he suggested shovelling dirt and gravel on top of them.
During this time, there was no sign of Jag - at least, depending on who you asked. But there was a mysterious 'reporter' in a black trenchcoat with a fake cigarette who looked a lot like Jag with messy hair. This fellow would often be seen lurking about and claiming he was onto a big a scoop on something or other. In fact, there seemed to be several such strangers around the base. At one point, Pacci was accosted by a bizarre peace-loving hippie with a cob of corn, who also looked suspiciously like Jag with a fake wig. However, clearly no one had the intellect to penetrate the purpose of these mysterious figures.
Flash was busy collecting wireless items throughout the base. A promise to give Echizen some pictures of Ivy from his video earned him the former's camera phone, and a school lesson about wireless technology involving his fist got him Hermione's MP3 player. He also contracted the mysterious reporter to obtain Jag's wireless pager.
Pacci had returned to his tent to deal with some other matters. Namely, the fact that the inestimable Conventionals officer Field-Marshall Model (hailing all the way back to Season 0, Adventure 4) had claimed his tent as his own. He was busy filling the place with pungent cigar smoke and sipping cognac. Pacci believed that the Field-Marshall needed a more private locale to perform his 'important' work. Model disagreed, but Dust arrived at this point to back Pacci up. Of course, this 'backing up' seemed to consist mainly of raiding the Field-Marshall's cigar drawer while Pacci had his men drag Model out to a new tent.
Cigars in hand, Dust hurried over to Seigaku's tent. The kids were happy to see him, and clenching his fist in a symbol of defiance, he told them the Revolution would live on. As he passed out cigars, he saw they were drawing pictures of a fire-breathing monster termed 'Momoshan,' the monster of overly strict mothers. Dust wasn't the only one to notice this. A mysterious cartoonist suddenly popped out of nowhere, showing the kids his prints of 'Shukra,' the monster of homework. Needless to say, the kids were greatly spooked by this depiction of their greatest fear.
As he was leaving, Dust told Keigo that he'd heard a "pok-ee-mon" expert was visiting his sergeant Lt. Surge. Keigo hurried over, but was briefly impeded by a barrage of rifle-shots. The Boyos apparently thought she was some kind of monster they called 'Momoshan,' probably the one referred to in the prophecy. Eventually, she managed to negotiate for the gung-ho Surge to bring his friend out to the front. This turned out to be Blane, the hot-headed fire Pokemon trainer. The two were having a 'heated' debate on the merits of their respective Pokemon. Keigo asked how Fire Pokemon were created and evolved. Blane responded that they had to be exposed to extreme heat in order to bring on the evolution process.
Before Keigo could act on this information, however, a roar of engines was heard and Lanver's platoon of bikes zoomed into camp. Xelme rode on the back of Lanver's bike, which resulted in Lanver receiving several death-threats and several targets destroyed courtesy of Suki and Anton's commentary.
Xelme demanded an update on the situation, and the officers came to the command centre, where Flash had commandeered the Plot Viewing Device. Patching in to the machine, Gol Draam informed them that although the vast majority of his forces had been lost, he and his contingent were closing in on the Spheran forces. Rounding a ridge, the group saw none other than the Dragon of Sphere waiting for the Conventionals. Fearing another trap, Gol Draam ordered his men to set up a rigorous perimeter while he engaged Vygrymm himself. Zeke instantly started taking bets, convinced he could make a lot of money of this match. Keigo predicted that Draam didn't have a chance, having failed to bring the Conventionals' tanks through the mountains. Draam was quick to put these predictions in doubt, flooring the Dragon with a barrage of psychic energy. The Dragon responded with his shockwave, blasting Gol Draam and burying him in shards of snow and ice. Every bit the appearance of some kind of ice-behemoth in his armor, Draam tromped on and flung Vygrymm into a mountainside. However, to his shock, the top of the mountain crumbled away, and bursting out was some kind of giant mechanical monster, a 100 feet tall or more, which our heroes instantly dubbed Mecha-Drakkhaan. With its rocket-propelled thrusters, the mechanical beast grabbed the hapless Draam and savaged his body before dropping the beaten hero into an icy ravine.
The Republic officers were shocked by this development - Mecha-Drakkhaan seemed to be closing in on the city of Ellivia quickly. Xelme declared that with Gol Draam's pursuit thwarted, she and Lanver would go after Kilant themselves. Mace would have to muster the forces to defend the city from the imminent attack.
Soon Mace and his Morningstars were down in Ellivia, hefting rifles and demolition charges, and supported by the best equipment that could quickly be summoned: platoons of tanks and missile trucks, and a radar car for summoning Republic Airstrikes. However, Mecha-Drakkhaan's space titanium armor seemed virtually impregnable, allowing it to shrug off all but the most explosive attacks. Building after building was destroyed while Mace and his forces struggled to slow the titan of terror's advance.
Our heroes, lacking the heavy weapons to even dent Mecha-Drakkhaan, were left in charge of the supply base. Flash had set up a wireless information booth, and was demonstrating the amazing technology to anyone who was passing by. This included Zeke, who was rather irate over Flash punching out his sergeant, and entering his patented tent without payment.
Meanwhile, Pacci knew where he needed to go, and he suspected he'd find the source of Mecha-Drakkhaan in the process. Keigo, charmander in tow, accompanied him to the extinct volcano where the shard of space titainum had been found. Proceeding into the depths, they came across a difficult room filled with disappearing blocks. Pacci, with his leaping proficiency, passed through easily, but it took Keigo considerably longer. As such, the yellow hero was alone when he came across the cavern's guardian: the final of the 8 Wily robots, the red-hot Heatman!! Pacci began with his standard shield-jumping attacks, but switched to fruit when he was burned by the fire that surrounded Heatman as he charged up. Unfortunately, he was unprepared when Heatman released a full-strength blast of Atomic Fire, which immediately dropped Pacci. It was the first Wily robot to have defeated him, but Pacci was saved by the arrival of Bumblebee, whose incompetent but inspiring effort brought him back to his feet to defeat the evil robot, causing him to explode in a fiery mass and leaving a deep pool of lava in his wake.
Keigo rushed in just in time to see this, and wasting no time, lowered Flammie her charmander into the pool. Pacci questioned the wisdom of this, but didn't waste any time before racing through the metal doors that Heatman had been guarding. With no sign of Flammie emerging, Keigo soon followed. They found themselves in a lab where several Spherans in silver jumpsuits were helping a familiar man in a white lab-coat. It was Pacci's arch-nemesis, Dr. Wily, who claimed that Pacci would never stop his greatest creation, Mecha-Drakkhaan, especially not with the forcefield generated by the computers in the lab. The mad doctor then escaped through a secret door while Pacci and Keigo easily dealt with the spacemen. However, they had no idea how to deal with the computers. But they knew someone who did.
Flash received the call at his wireless booth, and with Zeke still standing there, the two left for the lab immediately. A mysterious reporter, thinking to get a big scoop, followed them there. Flash used the Egg's pipe to destroy the central computers, causing the lab to shake and begin to explode. Escaping through a hole in the wall created by Dr. Wily's escaping saucer, the heroes watched from the mountainside in horror to see that Mecha-D had been summoned back to the lab to deal with the incursion. Just as it levelled its nuclear finger missiles in their direction, the top of the volcano burst open and a giant charizard that Keigo recognized as Flammie burst into view, swooping down towards Mecha-Drakkhaan. Flammie must have been the first of the two monsters in the prophecy. The second revealed himself moments later, as the ice of a glacial lake cracked open, with a hungry MEGALODON emerging to do battle.
The battle that followed was truly a War of the Monster. Mecha-Drakkhaan blasted its opponents with laser-eyes and devastating Nuclear Finger Missiles, but often got bogged down in the water, leaving it vulnerable to Megalodon's mighty mouth. Flammie lobbed fireballs and closed to attack with its claws. Retreating back onto land, a badly damaged Mecha-Drakkhaan tried to awkwardly chop away at Flammie with its terrible melee attack, but was no match for the more agile charizard. Breaking away, a blast of eye lasers left Flammie smoking and unmoving. However, Mecha-D had made the mistake of stopping on the shore, where Megalodon lunged forward and swallowed the bulk of the space titanium hulk whole, finally ending the threat of the giant monster.
Keigo was devastated to see Flammie fall in the battle, but didn't have time to express her grief. Captain Mace arrived on the scene, demanding to know what was going on. He also wondered why Jag had been acting so funny all day. Removing his disguise at last, the 'reporter' informed them that he had been undercover unearthing a traitor. And he had found him. Pointing an accusatory finger at Zeke, he claimed that not only had the biker been responsible for aiding the Spherans since day one, including the delivery of the beryllium sphere, but had just this very day killed his counter-intelligence assistant, Armshand Seravian. Zeke admitted to no such thing and claimed Jag was making stuff up to cover his own tracks. Mace, to Jag's shock, agreed with Zeke and stated that Jag needed to be executed on the spot to prevent further treachery. Shocked by such extreme measures, Keigo, Pacci and Flash suddenly realized that Mace and Zeke must have been in league and were responsible for the trap that had killed 50,000 Conventionals earlier that day.
The battle erupted, with Zeke revving the engine of his Delta Mark IV, and firing his machineguns, while Mace pulled out a pair of rifles with exploding bullets and fired away at Jag. A bomb from Flash knocked Zeke off his bike and blinded Mace, as Jag weathered the attacks from both with his objections. However, combined with the power of Zeke's sloppy brawl and Mace's gun, the lawyer eventually fell. Mace was quick to follow, however, from a combination of Pacci's shield and Keigo's tennis serve. Showing off his Spheran zirlithium armor, however, Zeke proved a formidable opponent. In spite of their best efforts, Keigo and Pacci were both defeated by Zeke's vengeful fists and beef-eating abilities. Only Lord Flash remained, but just as Zeke prepared to deliver the final blow, a shot rang out from behind. Shot in the back, the treacherous Zeke only had time to look and see his own sergeant, Desrae, emerging from the rocks, before he toppled over the edge of the cliff. Desrae remarked that she could smell the amount of money Zeke had been hiding, and no one gets in on a deal like that - without letting her in on it.
Blane
Race: Fenixan
Rank: Civilian
Affiliation: The Pokemon League
Hot-headed Blane was a certified Pokemon League expert who specialized in fire pokemon. A rather old and crusty man, he was also known for his quick, fiery temper. He was visiting his fellow Pokemon experts Lt. Surge and Brock in our heroes military camp, searching for novel ways in which the mysterious Pokemon creatures could be used.
