81 Chapter 81

"G21, take your men and hold off those guys. It's only a brat and his three pokemons, surely you six can handle that much!"

"On it, Captain!"

"G11, you nine help my team capture Heatran! We have to hurry! That Earthquake destroyed some of the supporting pillars. I don't know how much longer this cave will last!"

As G21 and his five men turned to engage with Jax's pokemons, Lancelot was still sneaking around trying to find the best time to assassinate whom he had presumed to be the leader.

Boom…Boom!

With each clash, the rocks and pebbles fell from the ceiling dropping into the red abyss below. Some of the splashed lava landed on the grunts' pokemons causing them even further damage aside from the ones Vioarr, Teritus and Nemsus was doing.

Heatran, noticing that help had arrived, gathered his remaining energy and casted his strongest move, Magma Storm, in a last, desperate attempt to hold his attackers off long enough for his helpers to kill off the others.

Exhausting all his power, Heatran fell down and laid on the ground.

Seeing that, G1 and his nine lackeys rushed up to him while G11 and his eight went to go help G21.

"You're finally down, big guy. Took long enough. If you had just come with us obediently, we wouldn't have needed to beat you down so hard." Reaching down and looking inside his bag, G1 brought out a ball with a M on its front.

"Take a nice, quiet nap while we finish things up he-."

Slash!

Lancelot finally found his timing when G1 reached down to grab the ball. In that split second, he had sneaked over and used Shadow Sneak (3) slicing the throat of his enemy!

"W-what the fu-."

Holding his neck, G1 dropped to the floor and the ball in his hand rolled away.

G11 being the next highest ranked grunt took over command. "G2, you got find that ball! G3, the rest of you guys come with me to deal with that brat! Heatran won't be going anywhere any time soon, anyways."

As more grunts joined up with G21, Jax noticed that he was not in a good spot.

"Vioarr! You guys retreat. There are too many of them and the cave is collapsing too quickly! The lava is also starting to rise up. We have to get out of here!"

Noticing the boy's intentions, G11 had the pokemons capable of flight fly towards the exit to block it off.

"Good try, brat! For ruining our plans and killing my leader, I'll send you off with him to appease his soul!"

BOOM!

Nemsus, finally charging up the move she had just recently learned fired her Draco Meteor (1) and blasted a hole through the pokemons blocking the exit!

"Metsys! We can't leave Heatran alone with those guys! Can I take him into my sub-space?"

"Mhm. It should be possible but since it is a legendary and significantly stronger than you are, even if he has used up all his energy, I'll have to expend a lot more to pull him in."

"Do it! He might not be bothered in the lava but the grunts will have caught him before he can sink deep enough! We can't let that happen!"

"Sigh. You only ever talk to me when you want something from me. Fine, fine. But you owe me a deluxe ice cream from that newly opened café I saw when you were on your date!"

"Deal!"

While Metsys was attempting to pull Heatran into the sub-space, Lancelot was back in the shadows following G2. He didn't know what that ball was but from the power emanating from it, he knew it was on a fundamentally different level than the ones he saw Jax crafting and experimenting with.

Trapped in a small crack on the ground, the grunt finally saw the ball that their Boss had given them specifically for this mission. 'There you are! Hopefully it still works.' Reaching down to grab the ball, SLASH!

Holding his neck, much like his leader did moments ago, G2 fell onto the floor choking on his own blood.

'That's two for two.' Picking up the ball, Lancelot turned it around a couple of times but couldn't figure out what it was. 'Maybe my liege will know.' Hiding back in the shadows, Lancelot went to go join the rest of his family.

"Jax! I'm done but I used too much energy so I'll be asleep for a week! Ugh! You so owe me more than a de…luxe…ic..e…cwea..m."

Falling asleep, the ring on his index finger became eerily quite while Heatran was dragged into his sub-space.
