The three members of the team sat on the bar counter. 
Tracey was cleaning out his short fingernails with his 
knife. Richie was cleaning out his M29F Custom pistol. He 
locked the slide open and blew into the chamber. He pulled 
the slide lock down and let the slide unlock and slide back 
to its normal position. Brock was strapping on another hip 
holster onto his left leg. He pulled out another Super P8 
and twirled it around a few time and then finished it off 
by twirling it into its holster.
	"Let's go guys." Richie stood up and put his knife 
back in its pocket that was on the back of his belt.
	"Go where?" Tracey questioned
	"Look, I don't know where Misty went. She was suddenly 
gone and when she's not here I'm in charge."
	"Are we going to continue combing the mansion?" Brock 
asked turning off the safety on his two pistols.
	"No. We all know that we can only survive if we have 
our commander. We're going to go find her. MOVE OUT!"

	Misty slowly walked up the steps. She pointed the 
pistol at the left side of the staircase where a railing 
was lined across. With no one in sight she continued to the 
top of the stairs. Her only path was walking straight down 
the hallway. He stealthily walked through, stopping at the 
hallway intersection. She crouched down against the wall 
and took off her backpack. She unzipped it and reached 
inside pulling out another holster that had a Walther P99 
in it. She zipped up her bag and threw back onto her back. 
Before she removed the pistol she put the left thigh 
holster on. Misty removed the pistol and continued down the 
hallways. Once reaching the end she began hearing sounds 
coming from the master bedroom. The one voice that stood 
out was Ash. Without thinking she ran through the remainder 
of the hallway to the master bedroom's oak door. "ASH!" 
Inside the room she heard groaning and some moaning. "ASH!" 
She kicked open the door and ran inside. 
	On the bed was Ash who had Giselle on top of him. He 
was lying with his shirt off and hat tilted to the right.
	"MISTY!"
	She didn't answer, only stared with an angry glare on 
her face. "You left me to go sleep with Giselle when there 
are butlers running around who are trying to bite you?"
	"Misty, I can explain-"
	"Why do you need to explain anything to her?" Giselle 
asked as she kissed him.
	"My mission wasn't to watch you sleep with some girl, 
do get that Ash Ketchum? I have a perfect mission record. 
Never before have I failed, lost anyone on my team or any 
civilians I was assigned to protect. Right now I have a 
feeling that that is all about to change."
	"Who are you now?" Giselle asked snottily
	"Misty Waterflower or should I say, Commander Misty 
Waterflower-Ketchum."
	"Commander Misty Waterflower-Ketchum?" Giselle asked 
while giggling
	"Ash remembers. I'm sure he'll tell you if you stay 
here."
	"I'm coming with you." Ash jumped off of the bed and 
reached for his black t-shirt and blue and white jacket.
	"You still have that?"
	"It's a bigger size. Fine, I'll wear my leather 
jacket." He walked over to the oak armoire and pulled out a 
black and red Dodge Viper leather jacket.
	"Nice jacket."
	"Thanks Mist. Hey, can we go get my Pokemon? I think 
they'll help us."
	"Uh, fine."
	The three walked through the massive mansion without 
seeing another person. At last they reached the main hall. 
Ash walked up to the door and pulled on it.
	"Hey! The DOOR won't open!" Ash yelled
	"What?"
	"It's locked, we can't get out!"
	"OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE IN HERE!" Giselle 
screamed and started running around.
	"Giselle calm down."
	"CALM DOWN?! THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO BITE US! I 
want to get out of here."
	"We will, we just have to go down."
	"Down?" Ash asked
	"Yes. I think those people came from the hive."
	"Then we can't go down there."
	"NO, we have to. The Red Queen controls all of the 
Hive's and the mansion's defenses. If we shut her down all 
of the door to leave will be unlocked…no."
	"No what?"
	"We can't shut her down. If we do, those people or 
creatures or whatever the hell they are will escape into 
the city."
	"What are we going to do?" Giselle asked more calmly
	"Try and stay alive."

	Richie, Tracey, and Brock had made their way through 
kitchen and were heading in the direction of the main hall. 
After walking stealthily through the mansion they had not 
seen any one. At last they made it to the main hall. 
	Richie slowly opened up the door to the main hall.
	"What was that?" Ash asked in a whisper
	"Get behind me." Misty replied softly.
	"Richie, I hear voices." Brock inquired
	"I do to." He replied. Richie pulled out his M29 
Custom pistol and pulled back the hammer.
	Misty quietly crept up to the door. As she approached 
she gripped both of her pistols and twirled them up until 
they were aimed at the center of the oak door. 
	"Brock, ready?" Richie asked
	"Yes." 
	"3…2…-"
	"AH!" Tracey jumped forward through the door.
	Misty jumped back when Trace slid out on his stomach 
with a gray person on his back.
	"TRACEY!" Misty and the other two opened fire on the 
person who was on top of Tracey. "SHIT! I'm out." Misty 
elbowed both sides of her backpack releasing a bottom 
hatch. A bar slid down one foot with Walther P99 clips on 
both sides. Misty pushed the ambidextrous release and let 
the clips fall to the hard wood floor. She slid the empty 
handles over the clips. Once she heard them lock into the 
handle she twirled them up to aim at the person. Once she 
had a shot she closed the two slides and opened fire again. 
	"Why won't this guy DIE!" Brock yelled as he continued 
firing until his two Super P8 clips were out of bullets.
	"Screw this!" Misty ran towards Tracey and did a 
summersault to where he and the person were. Once she 
reached them she rolled out and kicked the person under the 
chin making his head whip back. She rolled over to the left 
onto her stomach. She put her left foot on the person's 
left side of his throat, then she kicked her right leg over 
to where her other leg was. When she kicked the guy she 
snapped his neck.
	"What the HELL was that thing?" Brock asked as he 
lowered his pistols
	"T' bastard wasn't human!"
	"I know Richie." Misty replied
	"What the hell happened to you Mist?" Richie asked as 
he walked up to her and examined her face.
	"We found Ash's butler, the one who we thought was 
killed earlier. We killed him not twenty minutes ago."
	"You killed him?" Richie asked
	"He was crazed, he bit us. He scratched my face and 
took a few chunks clean right out of Ash."
	"Whose this?" Brock asked as he walked over to Giselle 
who was holding onto Ash's arm tightly.
	"That's Giselle." Misty said with an attitude
	"Giselle? So you're Ash's girl?" Richie asked her 
grinning	
	"Yes I am." She replied giving a sexy smile to Ash.
	"YO, Ash. How is she?" Richie was now nudging Ash in 
the gut
	"She's great."
	"Shut up." Brock told Ash while pointing to Misty who 
was now walking away from the group. 
	Misty walked past the corpse and fell hard against the 
railing that led to the second story.
	"Misty, are you okay?" Brock and Tracey ran over to 
Misty who was suddenly beginning to sweat.
	"I'm fine."
	"I hope she's okay." Richie said, "I'm going to go see 
her."
	"I'll come too."
	"Ash don't leave me." Giselle quickly grabbed onto 
Ash's arm.
	"Don't worry, we're just going to see Misty. You can 
come."
	"Okay." Giselle let go of Ash's arm and began to 
follow him.
	"Misty you're looking pale." Tracey said while sitting 
next to her on the step.
	"I'm fine. Don't worry…GISELLE LOOK OUT!" 
	"AH!" 
	"GISELLE!" Ash quickly turned around to see what 
happened. Three freaky looking Growlithe's were attack her. 
Ash started running towards her when a Growlithe jumped at 
Ash. He quickly put his arms up to cover himself, but the 
dog never got to him.
	"OW!"
	"NO!" Ash looked down and saw Misty fighting the dog. 
	"ASH HELP ME!" Giselle cried out as she saw Ash 
looking at both girls.
	"SHIT!" Ash ran past Misty who was about to be torn 
apart. He ran up to Giselle but before he could help her 
another Growlithe jumped at him.
	"GO Vaporeon!" Misty threw the Pokeball into the air. 
It opened up and a blue Vaporeon materialized. "Vaporeon, 
Hydro Pump!" 
	The Vaporeon nodded at its trainer's demands. It let 
sprayed out a large amount of water at the Growlithe's all 
around it. They were all slammed hard against one of the 
walls in the main hall.
	Brock and Tracey helped Misty up onto her feet. She 
brought her MP5 away from her back and aimed it at the 
Growlithes that were coming towards the group again.
	"BACK OFF!" She pulled the trigger, unloading an 
entire clip on all of the Growlithes. "Vaporeon…re…turn." 
	Once the Pokemon dematerialized from the main hall 
Misty put it back on her belt.
	"Are you okay Ash?" she asked holding her neck
	"Yeah, I'm fine."
	"Giselle, how about you?"
	"I want to get out of here." She stood up and leaned 
into Ash. Giselle began to cry as she leaned into Ash's 
chest.
	"Shit." Misty whispered as she looked at the rest of 
the team. "We can't leave guys."
	"What the fuck are you talking about?" Richie 
holstered his pistol and approached Misty angrily.
	"We can't complete the mission."
	"Why the hell can't we?"
	"If we shut down the Red Queen more of those things 
are going to be out. We'll release them. We will be 
responsible for releasing the most horrific plague ever 
witnessed in Kanto. If we shut her down, the doors to leave 
the mansion will be unlocked."
	"So we're going to die in this place?" Ash asked
	"Containing the incident is the corporation's only 
fail safe plan."
	"How many of those things can there be?" Giselle asked 
finally pulling away from Ash.
	"Like I said before, the Hive houses over five hundred 
people."
	"Do you guys have Pokemon?"
	"Yeah we all do." Tracey replied revealing his belt.
	"I say we take out all of those people and get to the 
Red Queen. I don't think there is anyone else in this house 
besides us. At least not anymore."
	"Any…one else for that idea?" Misty asked while 
standing up.
	"I'll do it Commander." Replied Brock
	"All right, let's move out."
