Prolouge Part 1: Escape
A towering fortress stood on a small rocky island in the middle of the ocean. It had a small harbor for ships that periodically came and went and a winding dirt road that led up to the main staircase of the massive iron bolted entrance way. A 100 foot wall topped with barbed wire surrounded the castle-like structure and there were watchtowers at every corner.
Numerous Drapion, Arbok and Skuntank along with human guards were patrolling the dirt trodden grounds. Humans had guns in their hands and all of the Pokemon displayed a cold steely look in their eyes. The towers and many buildings within the fortress cast off eerie shadows as bursts of light lit up the night. A storm was brewing and it was approaching fast.
It turned into a horrible storm. Fat drops of freezing rain came down in relentless sheets, turning into icy pellets that struck the ground hard. Waves rose high into the air and crashed into the sturdy algae ridden outer wall of the fortress. Lightining flashed and bolted from the dark mass of storm clouds, cracking the sky like a broken mirror.
Thunder boomed after each intense flash, and was only matched by the sound of the sea waves smashing into the fortress. The wind howled and blew in three directions at once, sweeping up anything and everything unstable and out to sea. It wasn't a day to be playing out in the rain.
But even that was better than what was inside the stone walls of the fortess. A small Eevee knew that, and he would've rather dived headfirst into that raging ocean than stay another minute on this forsaken island, which is exactly what he was planning on doing.
Pushing a solid oak door open from the tower he and his younger sister were held in, he glanced from one side of the stairway and back down to the grounds. He had determination burning in his eyes and he knew he had a job to do. His younger sister trembled from behind him, barely a year old and still having suffered so much, he vowed to escape this terrible place.
Or at least make sure she gets out. That's all that mattered at the moment.
The younger of the two spoke softly to her older brother, "Allen, what's going on? Are we going to get in trouble? I don't want to get in trouble...". She shifted uncomfortably in her spot and her brother gently nuzzled her behind her ears, just the way she liked.
He then spoke in a soft but stern voice, "Kaya, I can promise you that we won't get in big trouble, and that I will get you out of this terrible place. Tonight is the night we leave, and never come back. In order for us to leave you need to do what I say, when I say it and without questions. Understand?". The young Eevee nodded and looked up at her older brother with trusting hazel eyes as her brother nodded back to her.
Allen picked up his sister gently by the scruff of her collar, and she went limp and was much easier to carry. He then slowly began his decent down the long flight of stone steps, being extremly careful that he made no sound once his paws hit the damp rock. He slipped once or twice, but quickly regainded his balance.
I have to ...escape...get Kaya...out...At least Kaya...I will escape...
Allen had finally reached the bottom of the 5 story tower, but he knew things were only going to get tougher from hear on out. Two Houndoom stood guard at the door, with sickly green armor covering their bodies and giving their faces a shadowy look. He cursed under his breath, then set his younger sister down who immediatly darted behind him. He turned around to face his sister, then barely whispered to her
"I'm going to distract them, so go hide under the bottom step. Only come out when I get you. Understand?"
The baby Eevee shook from fear and cold, but she nodded her head and ran under the bottom of the dank stairway. Only until she was hidden did the older brother begin his plan. He opened his mouth, looked to the top of the tower and shouted with all of his might,
"HELP! HELP US UP HERE! OUR ROOM IS ON FIRE! HELP HELP HELP!"
The pair of Houndoom were shaken out of their normally solid state and they both turned to look up at the top of the staircase with snarls on their faces. They bolted from their posts and began to climb the winding staircase with little effort. As soon as they were up far enough Allen again picked up his sister and bolted out of the towers entry way.
The door led to a long hallway with a tattered and torn rug smudged into the grimy stone floor. The older Eevee ran with all of his might down the passage while carrying his sister, thankful that no other guards were stationed in that area. He came to a halt with a couple of heavy huffs at a door which led to a walkway above the outer wall.
Allen couldn't use the door handle, so he concentrated on making his tail denser and metallic until it was a shining silver. He lept up in the air and used Iron Tail on the doorhandle, instantly smashing it and allowing the brother to push through the oak doorway.
The force of the wind stuck Allen hard as the he ran out into the typhoon. The icy rain had him and his sister soaked to the core and they were both shivering in no time. But he kept on running down the walkway, determined to escape. The pair had almost reached the other side when an alarm resonated from deep within the fortess and a sudden voice boomed on the loudspeakers placed along all of the outer walls.
"THEY'VE ESCAPED! THEY'VE ESCAPED! HURRY UP AND RECAPTURE THEM! THEY MUSN'T GET AWAY! HURRY DAMMIT! THEY HAVE ESCAPED!"
The brother cursed under his breath as a two Denio and a Zwelious appear out of the opposite door on the wall. He could barely make them out due to the sheets of rain that continued to pound on the back of the Eevee siblings. They all snarled at the pair of Eevee and they took a step forward. The brother began to back up to find another path when a deep growl cut through the roar of the storm and emitted from behind him. If his sister was trembling hard from the cold, she began to shake even more violently now. Allen began to give off a feeble growl that was no match for the one that was coming from the opposite doorway. A floating figure soon stepped out into the storm to face the escaping Eevees.
A towering Hydreigon stood before the small Eevee pair. He was snarling and baring his fangs, snapping his sharp claws in their direction. Pure power and control radiated from him, and he intended on returning them to the tower they escaped from. He roared above the sounds of the storm,
"YOUNG ONES! YOU BEST COME BACK WITH ME NOW, AND I MAY NOT PUNISH YOU FOR THIS FUTILE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE! THIS FORTRESS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREAK OUT OF! YOU WILL NEVER REACH THE FRONT GATE! GIVE IT UP WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE!"
He took another step forward, and the trio of his preevolved forms did the same thing, closing in on the Eevee siblings. Allen then set his younger sister down, who retreated under her older brother. He stood protectivly over her and snarled back at the powerful Pokemon,
"I have news for you, ugly! I'm done taking orders from you, I'm done with seeing my sister suffer, and I'm done with this damn place! We ARE leaving, and their is nothing you can do about it!"
Hydreigon soon widened his squinting eyes as he realized what the young Eevee meant. Allen then snatched up his sister and leapt up to the Fortress's wall with the wind threatining to knock him over, but he held his ground and extended his tiny claws to grip the slippery stone.
He shivered as the storm blew onto him from all directions, and with a muffled sound due to his sister's collar in his mouth, he growled at the one Pokemon he feared the most,
"Catch us if you dare, although I hear your afraid of water!"
Hydreigon roared and lunged at the young pair of Eevees, but the older brother retracted his claws, drew a deep breath, and leapt over the 100 foot high wall and toward the freezing ocean's waters.
It felt like the world had turned silent as he lept from such a high place, and as he and his sister were rushing towards the raging ocean, Allen could hear his captor roar into the night sky in rage, "NOOOOOOOOO!". He then closed his eyes, curled his legs around his sister in order to protect her from the ocean, and braced himself for the inevitable impact that was to come.
It was like being thrown into a concrete wall. The siblings hit the water with tremendous force and they were soon submerged beneath the waves. The icy liquid filled the older Eevee's lungs, but he kept a tight grip on his now unconciouss sister and kicked with his little legs up to the surface. He broke the water and sucked in a huge breath of the cold winter air. His head pounded with a massive ache and he was soon tossed around by the relentless waves and thrown back underneath the crushing forces of the stormy sea.
He fought through his exhaustion and cold to breach the surface like a whale once more and he continued to swim away from the forsaken fortress, all the while being tossed and beaten by the harsh waves.
Thought the muffled sound of the sea and thunder, the older brother could hear another terrible roar of anger and hatred of Hydreigon. It was so awful it seemed to shake his frozen bones to the core. Allen continued to swim on and on, being beaten from above by the icy hail and rain and the fierce freezing waters of the waves. The brother fought the stromy sea and with a hazy mind he kept thinking,
Have to escape...have to ...Kaya...I will protect you...escape...mom...
A sudden 50 foot wave towered over the fugitive Eevee's and the Allen gazed up with fear in his eyes as he saw the monstorous wall of water churn at the top only to come crashing down on him and his sister. He turned his back and siezed his sister so that his body protected hers, but the effort was futile. The tidal wave smashed into both of them with such force that it pushed them deeper than ever before under the oceans surface.
Allen's lungs burned for air, his body was numb, and his vision was dark and hazy, but he could clearly see Kaya sinking beneath him. He tried to reach her, but his body was beaten and he couldn't move.
This is it...I let Kaya down...she's going to die...we're both going to die...I failed her...I'm sorry my sister...urgh...
The brother closed his heavy foggy brown eyes, unable to see the dark shape standing on the water's surface that soon dove into the raging ocean.
Im so sorry...forgive...me...
With that final thought, Allen let the dark folds of unconsiousness completly envelop his body and mind.
