ToT Chapter 3-1 Yawaru High Noon Part 2

Nox was barely lucky to hide away again before the footsteps of another goon patrol was marching their way towards his position. It was hard for the male shiny Eevee to calm down ever since that mentioning as he scolded himself inside his mind for that though *Get a freaking grip of yourself Soldier, you're in a stealth mission! Everyone is in danger if you mess up by getting spotted by Don Kapons goons!* Thanks to that kind of self-scolding did the grey furred Eevee managed to get a part of his concentration back.

Soon was  a single Lombre walking on it's own through the corridor that Nox was hiding in towards the water. Luckly for the male shiny Eevee was he hard to spot in the shadows as he tried his best to hold back his urge to attack or curse out loudly from not beeing able to concentrate alot. Unfortunatly did the Lombre managed to spot the two knocked out Golbats that were down onto the ground as he rushed over them while speaking up "Hey you two! Don't slack off during work and get back up into the air!"

At this point did the Lombre realised that they were fainted while Nox on the other hand realised that he had to take him out before he could warn other goons from their presence. The grey furred Eevees tail started to glow in a soft metalic grey color as he rushed with a bursting Quick Attack towards the opponent. Said Lombre was about to shout out "Intru-" as the Iron Tail hits directly on the head of it, causing it to fall down while it was still conciousness. Nox grabbed it's arm once the goon landed onto it's stomach to release a low but hearable growl.

"Damn it!" was the Lombre mumbeling as the male shiny Eevee spoked up agressivly, but only noticable for the opponent to interrogate him "Who's in charge of this place?!" "I ain't telling you anything." was his response to Nox, but only to feel a sudden stinging pain from his arm as Nox used Bite on it. "I ask you again, who's in charge here?! Or do you want me to torture you!?" was he asking muffled as the goon of Don Kapon didn't had any choices anymore when he winced from the pain, not wanting to be tortured "T-that's me, I'm in charge here!"

Nox stopped the Bite for a moment but kept the goon leader pinned down as to interrogate again "How many men are in here?!" "I won't te-" was the Lombre starting as he whinced in pain again from Noxs Bite "F-fourty! ....no! Make it fourtytwo! But we'll be more because our fastest bird will be with Don Kapon before you even got out of here!" "Do you mean this little fellow here?" was a familair voice speaking up as a frozened up Chatot was thrown infront of the Lombre that looked in big terrror by now "W-what?! H-how did you!?" "Ice Punch." was the Hitmonlee speaking rather calmly about how he did that.

"Vader!" was the grey furred Eevee exclaiming with a smile as he sees the Tracker leader with a smirk on his face "Nice job catching and interrogating that Lombre Nox, this will make things easier for the whole group." Nox nodded calmly as he decided that the Lombre had seen enough, so he knocked it out with a well placed Iron Tail that kept him alive too. Vader was going to scold him by that "Nox, you better didn't killed him." but soon heared him respond "Don't worry, that goon's still alive and will only wake up later with a strong headache."

The male shiny Eevee didn't noticed that the females caught up to their location as he got off the knocked out Lombre. "All we have to do now is taking water and get out of here, right?" was he asking the Hitmonchan as the others were approaching the place by now. They immidiatly started to fill water into the barrels and vials that they all were carring, but Sibyl knows by now that their cover is blown up. "Be quick everyone since we're compromised. That cutted off Intruder yell informed the other goons that we're in here."

Kassi soon looked over to Vader as he spoked up with a chuckle "Looks like we'll be fighting our way out now!" "That's fine by me! I was feeling a bit rusty in fighting lately!" was the Hitmontop responding with a smile and giggle. Lin Lin seems to excited too as Samara looked over to Nox with a smirk, which only made him flinch and look away because she knew what was going on with him. It was at this point were Nox spotted Nodoka, Yang and Sonya who seemed all to be in thoughs while the shiny Mienfoo filled up the barrel she setted down next to the water.

He instantly realised what she might be thinking, because he was near a knocked out Lombre as he walked up to the group he was inofficaly leading. "T-this isn't what it looks like..." was the male shiny Eevee speaking up to the shiny Mienfoo, the shiny Ralts and the female Eevee. Yang seemed to be sad while Sonya was silent during the exlplaining of his "T-the Golbats got taken out by Samara..." before the male shiny Eevee was capable to continue on explaining that he didn't killed them did Vader looked around to the group with an eager look to fight.

"Allright. thanks to Nox little interogation with the Lombre do we know that 42 goons of Don Kapon are located inside this place. Be prepared for a fight!" was he speaking up to the others, some of them looking eager to bash heads too while the water runners were prepared by now. The the flinching of Sonya before looking down with a pained expression and the suprised look of Yang told Nox that something was wrong as Yang tried to reassure her "I-It's not bad Sonya. I-I can sense they're only knocked out in their auras, not badly hurt. N-Nox didn't hurt them."

The female Eevee didn't looked towards either of them as she stood up and kept her head down when she started to walk towards the way they came from before. "I'm going to scout our way back to make sure it's secure. Get the water and be careful." was she speaking up as she glanced with a bit of sadness towards Yang. "Since they already know we're here, there's no point in being stealthy anymore. I'll ring by bell if anything goes wrong or the coast isn't clear."

Noxs ears leaned down onto his head once Sonya rushed away, as he looked over to the shiny Mienfoo with worryness now while she was concerned and worried too. *W-what did I do wrong...* was he thinking for himself as he can see that Yangs eyes became determented when she picked up the barrel to fill it with the precious water for the Pokemon in Yawaru. She tried to do it as quick as she can before her partner was too far away for them to catch up. Nodoka wanted to head out after Sonya, but she soon felt how sad Nox was by now.

"Go after her." was she suddently speaking towards Nox as he blinked a bit lost from that "W-what?" "Are you deaf? Go! I'll stay with Yang!" was Nodoka speaking towards him as she pushed him to the direction the female Eevee went. Yang looked rather surprised about what's going on as she looked between the shiny Ralts and the male shiny Eevee. He was hestiating for a moment before realising about the warning of Oxnard *...she's right!* With a determentned look did he he turned around to rush to rush towards the direction Sonya went.

Suddenly did the rest of the Don’s goons appeared and surrounded all the teams that were at the water reservoir. "You got to be kidding me!" was the grey furred Eevee exclaming at their timing as the fighters of the group stepped forward to deal with them while covering up the water runners that quickly filled up their containers before starting to run down a clear route. Some of the goons yelled out in a sudden shock to dodge the Pangoro as Lin Lin was charging towards them like a train without breaks and a 'You're in deep trouble' sparkle in her eye.

Luckly did Nox managed to slip through the goons without getting spotted as he rushed after the female Eevee with worryness due to the fact of the potential deadly encounter with Oxnard. *Sonya... please don't hate me and stay safe...* were his thoughs before the words of the Audino and Weavile got into his head again, which caused him to blush a bit. *GAH! Why am I thinking about the words again when I'm thinking about Sonya?! I hate it... I really hate it right now!* as he shook his head during the sprint and kept up that pace.

Nox heared the fighting noises behind and infront of him as he kept spriting with Quick Attack towards the direction Sonya went when she was fighting against a Krokorok. He knew that the whole place was in uproar by now as he managed to dodge an incoming pin missle from a Cacnea that was in his way, only to slam it away with his Iron Tail while givng off an annoyed groan that had the undertone of worrying too. His thoughs were clear by now *Keep pushing forward! Take out everything in your way that stops you to reach her! You're doing it for your friend Yang afterr all!*

That kind of motivation caused him to push at the edge of his speed with Quick attack as he was close to Sonyas position as his ears were capable to hear a the sound of a hissing snake. *This is bad! Snakes are natural born predators, and cornering one will make them more agressive!* Nox rushed past the yellow eyes of the shiny Zangoose that was still in the shadows as it mumbled quietly in a frequency for his partner ears only "You get company." After a moment was the male shiny Eevee managing to see the form of the female Eevee.

She was in pain, and her wincing and the way she tried to stay onto her paws told him that she got hit by someone strong as she suddently yelled out with a hoarse voice "W-Watch out! S-Seviper!" Nox ears twitched as the female Eevee warned him about the Seviper that was starting to hiss towarrds him, before it as suddenly the seviper lunges from the darkness at Nox from above like it did towards Sonya. "Not today sunshine." was the male shiny Eevee muttering as he barrel rolled to the side right when the snake was flying towards him.

The Seviper tried to to use Poision Tail onto his position but he already hadit anticipated her strike that was aimed towards his paws. He noticed her special spikes on the scale as she slammed her tail to the side to Bulldoze him, yet was Nox acting faster as he countered that attack with a sudden Iron Tail that striked against the tail of hers. The Seviper grunted annoyed by that reistance as she actually spoke up for the first time during their encounter in a loud voice "Ssso you think you can essscape an asssssasssssine? Think again!"

The male shiny Eevee tried to Quick Attack her as she moved towards his left, but suddenly she striked him on the right in the same way she hitted the female Eevee with Sucker Punch.  He coughted from the hit onto his stomach as he flied to the direction Sonya was, landing onto his body next to her with a pained grunt. The grey furred Eevee noticed that Sonya had a flash of concern once he was on the ground and looking towards her. *That... sucker punch... it's gonna be a pain for either of us... I have to work with her if we want it or not...*

Nox was thankfully not a quitter, as he quickly got back onto his paws despite that he was slightly in pain from that attack as he looks over to the female Eevee, then whispered "We have to work together, if you want it or not or that Seviper will take us both out!" His voice had a slight tone of desperation in it, yet she could hear his confidence that they'll manage to beat that opponent with combined force as the Seviper took an awaiting stance with her back towards the direction of Yang, the others  and her partner are.

Sonya looked towards him as she finally managed to stand and breath normally, listening to his words before she nodded towards him to show that she understood him and confrimed that she'll cooperate with him. "The Seviper mostly knows Close Quater Combat Moves. You’re faster than me" was she informing him about the plan she had in mind. "I'll cover you with Shadow Ball from a distance so you can get as close as you can. Hit it with everything you got and don't let up. I'll attack once I see an opening."  she crouched low and ready to attack.

"Sounds good to me, but you need to hit her with all you got too should she manage to stop me." was Nox replying quietly to her as he took an offensive stance. Soon could he see that Sonya was indeed covering him with Shadow Ball attacks fired towards the Seviper, who dodged the incoming attacks without breaking a sweat as she tried to slither closer towards the two Eevees. Luckly for them was Sonya pretty good at rapid firing her Shadow Balls so the opponent couldn't get closer as it was getting directed by the female Eevees attack.

The male shiny Eevee took the chance to see the pattern the Seviper was slithering, and once he saw an opening did his tail softly touched the side of the female Eevee before he kickstarted with a Quick Attack towards the direction of the enemy. The female assassin was hissing in anger as her tail started to drip poision once she saw the grey furred Eevee charging towards her, but she couldn't use her Sucker Punch due to the constant Shadow Balls of the other Eevee as she hissed very dangerously.

Right as Nox was close up to Bermuda was she attacking him with her Poision Tail/Bullzode combination, which he was countering with a long prepared Quick Attack/Iron Tail combo as the attacks clashed on each other. They both were equally strong for now as the tail of Nox barly manages to keep the tail of the assassin snake off him. He grunts annoyed because he wasn't going to keep it up, since an Eevee could never overpower a Seviper in raw strenght as he was starting to weaken from it.

"S-sonya..." was he speaking up impatiently as the tail of Bermuda started to get closer towards the body of the Eevee. Nox gave a last effort push with his tail to redirect that attack, which he barly managed to do so as the Posion Tail/Bulldoze combination of the Seviper barely grazes the fur of the male shiny Eevee while ripping off his black leather pouch that he had with him. It caused the contents to drop onto the floor, which was the First Aid Kit and the Symbold of Charity that was charged and the red clothing that he weared before.

The sudden explosion of the Shadow Balls that hitted against the the stalagmites that were above the grey furred Eevee and the Seviper caused them to break down. The were starting to fall down in a ring formation towards them as Sonya called out for her co-op Partner "Nox heads up!" Nox heared her warning as he barely managed to avoid the stalagmite that could have killed him while it ended up trapping the snake assassin in it.  He was starting to get tired, especially after that power play with the dangerous Seviper that was trained as an assassin.

The opponent was hissing very angry by that sudden trap as she wanted to get out fast by it while the male shiny Eevee quickly looked towards the female Eevee to see what she had planned right now, and it was their only chance. Sonya narrowed her violet eyes before she leaped up high in the air, giving him a hinting look of attacking at the same time as her tail glows out in a metallic shine. Nox was capable to read what she planned, causing his tail to start glowing softly in metallic grey as he leaped up into the air too.

He was right besides Sonya as they both were now using a double Iron Tail to take out the Seviper as Nox putted all his might into that attack. The female Eevee twisted in the air while the male shiny Eevee spined forward, both soared downward to strike the Seviper as Sonya released a battle cry while he shouted "EAT THIS!" The opponent tried to counter attack the Eevees, but they landed a double hit onto her as Sonyas Iron Tail striked right onto the assassins head while Noxs Iron Tail clashed onto the Tail of the Seviper, knocking it out through that.

The combined hits being enough to render the snake assassin unconscious as she lied still in her makeshift cell. They did it! Both Eevees leaped away from the knocked out opponent as they both were panting from that combat. Sonyas paws were shaking in exhaustion but she had a relieved looked on her face as she looked towards Nox. He looked equally exhasuted and was panting too after that because it used up a good ammount of his energy. He looked over to the female Eevee, and for a moment was he smiling towards her for what they managed to do.

Sonyas gasp before she actually smiled back embaresssed yet relieved to see him beeing allright caused him to blush up very lightly, his heart skipped a beat because he could tell that it was a real smile from her. Yet did his ears twitched as they caught a shockwave and a familair voice crying out, which died down their smiles on the faces as he heared the female Eevee calling out confused"Yang...? Yang!" Sonya was in full alarm as she looked desperatly towards Nox before she rushed ahead towards the echo caused him to be very concerned as he followed her.

They both leaped over the makeshift cage holding the unconscious Seviper and runned down the tunnel passage towards the echo of Yangs cry.  As the two Eevees leaved didn't they noticed the soft sounds of hissing coming from the Seviper whos body gave a twitch. They kept rushing towards the direction of the echo, and soon could see the figure of the shiny Mienfoo beeing cornered on a wall by a shiny Zangoose that had a wicked killed look on his face as he was going to strike down onto her with very powerful Facade that would kill her in one go.

Nox have saw through his joruneys such a look in his face, yet as he wanted to rush over to that position did he winced in pain. His white paws were feeling like plumb by now from the fatigue that was in his body as he couldn't move anymore, causing him to fall onto his stomach. He was getting desperate and whined as he tried to get up *No, no. NO! Don't do this to me right now! Please! Get up so and save Yang!* Tears of frustration started to run down his cheek when his body didn't wanted to move at all, causing him to close his black eyes eyes.

His body was shaking in terror and fear as he tried to be preapred for the death of shiny Mienfoo friend *Why... why do you let me suffer so much God... aren't my parents and Nariko enough that you have to take away my friend Yang too?!* The ears of the grey shiny Eevee limbed down as he was crying silently by now because he was already in such a helpless situation before when his family and Nariko... *I'm sorry Yang... I'm such a failure...* "What in the?!" could he hear the shiny Zangoose speaking up, which caused Nox eyes to open up again.

The grey furred Eevee was able to see could see how a glowing body was standing protectivly infront of Yang and had grabbed the arm of the old cat with what looks like ribbons. *Wait... ribbons?!* was Nox confused thoughs as he can see how they suddently moved to throw the shiny Zangoose against the wall, who was grunting from the collision onto it. Yang had her eyes closed as her body was shaking, before she opened them softly. And it was at this point were Yangs, Noxs and even the shiny Zangoose were surprised when the glow stopped.

A Sylveon was standing with violet eyes glaring towards the assassins cat. She haves a slightly thicker and longer tail than the usual Sylveons and has her top bow on her right ear. The ribbon like feelers returned back to their bows as she cried out "Stay away from Yang!" It didn't took long until the grey furred Eevee and the shiny Mienfoo realised that Sonya evolved! Nox gasped in surprise when he realised that it was Sonya *She.... evolved into a Sylveon!?* yet at the same time did he gasped again because Sonyas new form caused her collapsed onto her side very exhausted by now.

Yang gasped in surprise when that happened, then cried out "Sonya!" loudly when she placed her paws concerned on her teammate. The grey furred Eevee to realise that the danger isn't over yet as he tried to get up onto his paws again, right when he realised that the shiny Zangoose they're facing is Oxnard after all. Mentioned old cat was grunting,  then started to chuckle as he got up onto his legs again, before he started to laugh like a maniac "I can't belive it! You dare to stop me and then you evolved infront of my eyes, what foolish girl you are!"

The wide slasher smile on Oxnard  who advanced again to the two females caused Nox to moblisise his last strenght. "At least will I kill two for one now!" was the old cat speaking up as he was raising his claws again to strike with Facade. Nox rushed over to them and jumped to Bite straitght into the arm of the shiny Zangoose before he could strike Team Pathfinders , growling very loudly in anger from that while glaring towards him with said anger.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" was the male shiny Eevee speaking up muffled by the mouth full of the Zangooses arm as Oxnard looked annoyed to be interrupted again. "Fine, you'll die first then you little runt!"  was the old cat yelling out then grabbed onto Noxs neck to get him off the arm, which was bleeding slightly due to the sharp teeths of the Eevee. Nox winced in pain from the sudden strong grip onto his neck as he got started to choke with the sharp claws of the cat assassin, struggling for air and his life as the Zangoose was chocking him.

"No one messes with the assassins, get it?! Bermuda! Take out the Sylveon!" Oxnard yelled out with a snarl as he could hear the hissing of his partner. *Y-yang... S-sonya... r-run for you lives... I'm accepting this fate...a-at least... did I managed to save them from getting killed by an assassins Facade...* were the grey furred Eevees thoughs as he could hear a furious hissing of the Seviper called Bermuda getting closer to their position.  "Y-you... w-will... fail..." was Nox speaking weakly as he gagged from having no air, before he stopped struggeling from the grip as his whole body got limp from that, loosing his conciousness... and maybe his live...
