Author Note: Sorry for the long delay, but I do have my reasons. I would have posted something sooner, but what I was writing earlier was nothing more then a piece of unwanted crap. While my mind was actively writing, my heart was not. I had lost my spark for writing for a bit, but it has returned at last. This will be one of my better chapters for this story, no doubts there. Well, enough of my mindless reasons, you clicked here to read, and read you shall. Please enjoy.

Chapter 18:

"I want all of our people back to the tower now. Prepare the back-up transporters for use." Blazer shouted. Within seconds, several blue lights were flashing all over the island. A string of loud and violent explosions rang out from all across the island shaking the tower. Large clouds of a dark green gas showed where each bomb had been placed. A small stream of humans wearing battle suits and the occasional pokemon that wore basic armor, all of which marked with the Rebellion symbol, a silver and gold pokeball, could be seen charging toward the building. A string of humans and pokemon, all of which wore the basic black suit with the large red R on the chest showing who they fought for, were following them. One of the pokemon, a Magmar belonging to the rebellion, turned and let loose a large stream of fire at its pursuers before running into the building.
A small collection of white orbs that had been placed along the far wall lit up slowly.
"The Rockets are still advancing." One of humans shouted. Several monitors around him showed that the Rockets were charging in. They had no intention of backing down. As the screens changed camera angles, more of the battle was revealed. A small screen on the bottom of the main screen caught Leon's eye. It showed that a group of Rebellion officers die by the hands of Rocket Machoke. Blood splatter covered the camera blocking the rest of the scene before it switching to the camera, not that the new scene was any better. It showed
"Start backing all the data we have here. Lock down the weapon bunkers and then disengage all power they are receiving." Blazer shouted. The humans at the computers wasted no time. They began typing a new series of commands. Several of the smaller screens now showed a single blue screen message that read "Offline."
"We have a message from the tower base defense station. They can hold the Rockets off much longer. They are requesting Mewtek's help." A human shouted. She never stopped typing.
"May I go join them?" Mewtek asked. His eyes were filled with a look of anticipation. He wanted to fight, there was no doubt about this.
"Very well, but remember, keep the death count down to a minimum. Like I said before, not all of the Rockets are fighting of their own free will." Blazer said. His voice had hints of worry behind it, worry that Mewtek would go overboard take more lives then needed.
"I'll try not to kill them, but I can't promise to keep them all alive." Mewtek said as he walked off. Blazer just looked at him. Worry lined his eyes.
Another large explosion rang out across the island. "We've lost primary and secondary transport systems. We can only get to Explorer One with the backup system or risk transporter malfunction." One of the humans said.
"We've got no choice, we either transport all of us to the station or leave them behind." Blazer shouted.
"I say we leave em. We can't risk them getting aboard right now." One human shouted.
"We'll have to take em or we may never get those engines." Another human shouted. A loud explosion sounded just outside the room.
"Begin a floor by floor transport." Blazer shouted.
"Thirty seconds until we can began transporting." A human replied. The orbs on the far went from a white to red glow.
"Transport everything in the tower that's living and everything that the targets are wearing to the replica tower on Explorer One." Blazer shouted. "Don't transport any metallic items at all. We don't want any weapons coming aboard.
Outside the tower…
The Rockets continued their relentless attack kill or capturing all that they found. They only spared those could use.
"Move in." A human in a basic war suit shouted, the large red R on his chest just barely showed among the bloodstains. Several Pokemon and Humans charged forward, all had the large red R on their chest or shoulder piece.
A bright blinding red light shot out of the top floor of the tower. "What was that?" One of the pokemon, a Scizor shouted as it shot up to see what was causing the blinding flash.
Mewtek charged back for the tower. "After that pokemon, take him alive." The human commander shouted. Mewtek charged threw the area. The first flash of light from the tower alerted him to the two-minute timer he had just been given.
One by one, floor after floor gave off this same bright blinding flash of light, which was traveling down the tower. Mewtek jumped into the tower at the last second just before the blinding light hit the bottom floor of the tower with a Houndour right on his tail. Mewtek vanished completed with every other life form on that floor, but the Houndour was not so lucky. Most of its snout was just missing. There was a clean line showing exactly where the area of teleportation had stopped. It cried out as best that it could in pain without its snout.
The water around the island shook violently. Several large patches of water rose up creating large pillars of water before the island slowly began to sink. Water was slowly over taking the island. The Rockets hurried back to their ships before the island had sunk too far down into the water. Several minutes later, all that was left above the water line was the tower and it was still sinking into the depths of the water at an ever-increasing rate. Water flooded the tower destroying papers, computers, weapons, and anything else in its way. Almost everything was destroyed as the water claimed the tower as its own. Finally, the tower stopped sinking. The tower began to lean over. Only about ten floors were still above the water line. The tower leaned more and more before it finally toppled over into the water.

Explorer One, Replica Tower…
A series of blinding flashes light up the replica tower. Leon and the team from the PPF he was with looked out the window. Where an island and ocean had once occupied the background, now only an empty darkness was visible. Everyone felt a little sick from the sudden transport. Brandon fell onto his hands and knees while Sally threw up. Andrew wasn't doing much better, but at least he didn't throw up. The Froslass and Gardevoir were leaning against the wall, both of them holding their stomachs. While the Blaziken did his best to hide the effects of the transport from the others, he still stumbled around a bit. Alexia and Leon both managed to stay standing, but not by much. As for Jason, he fell over instantly.
The room was a similar to the tower back on earth. The room had the same chairs and desks, but no electronics. Except for a small panel on the wall by the door and a small screen beside it, the room was devoid of any computers.
"How many of us made it and how many extras did we pull?" Blazer shouted. He seemed perfectly compared to everyone else.
One of the humans in the room stumbled as if they drunk more then they walked over to a panel on the wall. Twelve red dots were scattered across the image of the tower on the panel. A list of names was shown just below the map. "We're missing fourteen of our own and we have twelve extras sir. Silent Night is among the missing."
"You call that a transport?" Felton asked. He kneeled over to keep from falling over. His vision was blurred. He looked up to try and find Blazer, but found nothing instead.
"That was a backup system used to transport cargo. It can be used to organics, but it does have a few side effects ranging from nausea to complete transit sickness as our doctors call it." Blazer said.
"How come you aren't effected in the same way?" Alexia asked. She slumped back against the wall.
"Because I've done this before. Many of my missions require to get in and get out in a matter of seconds, which can only be done with the emergency system. I'm still not immune to the effects, they still effect me, but only to a minor degree." Blazer said.
"Where are we you bastard?" Alexia asked.
"Explorer One. This is a replica of battle tower. Explorer One was built with it to continue training pokemon even in the deepest reaches of space. This is the most fortified area on the station." Blazer explained. "Since you're here, Jason may as well be introduced to the rest of the engineering team.
In the lower reaches of the tower…
Mewtek fell to his knees. He knew that the transport would cause some side effects, but nothing like this. "They must have used the emergency system." Mewtek said, breathing heavily. The ventilation shaft above him gave way as a Raichu in a standard Rocket outfit fell to the floor. A small stream of blood poured from its head from where the poor creature's head had hit the floor. It tried to get up, but it was no use. The sudden transportation must have been the cause for its sudden lack of strength, energy, and balance.
The main doors opened up to let in a medical team consisting of Nurse Joy look a likes and Chansey. A second smaller team of armed humans carrying pistols charged in after the medical unit. They tied up the Raichu as the medical checked out Mewtek. The two teams then started to check up on the rest of the tower. One human caught Mewtek's eye however. "No, it can't. He looks just like… But that means." Mewtek charged after the team. Something had him concerned for the safety of the station, but he couldn't tell just what. If he had seen who he thought he had, then that could mean that several other targets could still be alive.

Sorry for the short chapter, but I need more time to get back to my full writing spirit, if that even makes sense. Until then, good bye.
