III. Jailbreak. [anonymous video from an injured policeman's PCD]

[ The video feed turns on suddenly. It's clear that it's a jail of some sorts, and there's been a heavy battle going on within the confines of the jail. However, the feed turns on only to show the conclusion. One guard seems almost paralyzed, barely able to utter out the words "you monster", as another guard looks frustrated at the poison powder that's still lingering in the background.

Elsewhere, it appears that the other guards were less fortunate. The stroll down the confines of the jail is noiseless, except for the distinct sound of heels clacking, followed by a bit of a stomp from what must be monstrous pokémon. The light fixtures blink on and off, revealing frames of a horrific scene. Some guards are frozen to the bone, a human popsicle of sorts. Other guards have deep lacerations and pierces. While others just look borderline flattened. Some seemed to be crushed by rocks and buried in sand.

It's clear. Whoever did this knows what they're doing, and don't have a sense of human warmth within them. They're cold, nasty and vile.

The walking stops at the end of the hall, and a low, husky voice speaks two commands. ]

Freeze. Then slash.

[ The pokémon, whose whitish blue arms are the only thing visible, does as told. A blizzard first impacts the bars before they're sliced in half. ]

Welcome back, Commander. [ The feed briefly turns back on herself, except her hair is tied back in a slick pony tail and she's wearing a Ho-Oh mask that blurs out the majority of her face. ]

To all of those of you that could stomach those images [ The way she turns the phrase implies that stomach goes much beyond tolerating, and into the territory of like. ] I implore you to contact me immediately.

[Have an offended and somewhat horrified Shinobi for you.]

Wasn't that going overboard? It's really really obvious you didn't need to kill anyone to do that, so why did you?!

Who said they were dead? [ She prefers the term brutally incapacitated, but whatever. The implication probably isn't much better that they're enduring this and alive, but it's not like Lust actually cares about these humans either way. ]

So they aren't. That doesn't make how you did that better! What was the point of it?!

Edited 2013-05-16 19:16 (UTC)

It's the consequences of a pokémon battle. They stated they were going to use everything in their power to halt me, so you can't honestly be surprised when I used everything in my power to stop them.

[ Well, that technically isn't it. Lust enjoys just inflicting misery onto people. She's built up a lot of resentment towards people in the last two years. Working under them, dealing with them day in and day out, inadvertently causing many a crisis, it was finally time for payback. She's usually not this open about it, but, that served another purpose. She wanted to catch attention of Johto's brutalist. The ones without hearts. The disconnection between people here is ridiculous, and, if the good people can create a knighthood against the wrath of Team Rocket, then surely Lust can make a league of villains to help each other out. The ratio of good to bad in terms of power is just too skewed because of (and lack of) unity.

But, like she's going to reveal that to some child. Instead, she'll lead him on another chase. A little mental anguish would be an excellent side dish to this. ]

So, do you normally decorate your text when you're incensed, or is this just a special occasion?

Default settings. Not even a good one.

Not the point though! The point was that if you're going to handle an opponent, then you shouldn't do things like that without a reason. The fact you're filming says you might have one, but I can't figure out what it's supposed to be, and it's seriously not cool to mess people up like that just because you feel like it.

Hmm.. How I wish for the days where communication was less blinding. [ She rolls her eyes at Obito's next point. ]

It was only a matter of time before the surveillance videos were released. I'd much rather give people a reason to stay away then to pursue myself when the wanted posters come rolling in. FIlming the aftermath doesn't impact anything, anyways. Would you prefer to see a video of the whole thing? I thought I was being generous. [ She slashed a man and she liked it! He looks lifeless from that nasty Lickilicky hit... ]

If you want I can switch back to my other text, the one I had before this.

So you're trying to shore up a reputation as a mysteriously brutal enemy? What's the point of that?

I'd prefer if you just used what's available. There's one that has a standard, clean feel. [ She doesn't want to use voice or video beyond that. Sighs. ]

It just gets people out of the way until the warrant expires. Nothing more, nothing less.

[You're so lucky he's taking that as a no Lust.]

And the point of actually trying to get people to jump on the video? I mean, it was pretty clear you wanted reactions.

You mean the message at the end? It's more likely to produce the opposite effect. Disregarding something so casually will draw out more bleeding hearts like yourself.

[ Lust is just head shaking right now. ]

!!! Why the heck would you break someone as lame as him out of jail?!

How horrible..!

Can't anyone stop them?!

There's a difference between a bleeding heart and someone who objects to brutality just for the sake of brutality. Sometimes stuff like this can be needed. I don't think this was.

[ Um, well, because he's her boss? But, she isn't going to say that. I mean, she needs him for the league of villainy that she's planning, but does she really want to tell a superhero of all things about it?

Why not. A harmless, hilarious lie will be made this day. ]

He's my friend.

[ A single word response should obviously have the greatest impact in this case. ]

Nope.

I suppose I should thank you for helping the Commander escape. It is good to know he has other allies.

Well, I wasn't expecting thinking to be a strong suit of yours anyways. It discourages other police officers from giving chase in the area. It discourages people from getting involved. They'd probably resort to physical attacks once their pokémon were down anyways. Are you stating I should let them be just as brutal towards me? This was simply a contest of who could attack the quickest and strongest.

What type of lady would I be if I just let my boss sit in a prison cell rotting? The docks have been much too quiet for my tastes, lately.

[ Success count: 1. ]

[A lady, hmm? That certainly narrows it down quite some, doesn't it?]

I suppose there's no point in remaining anonymous then, is there?

[The video feed clicks on and Archer leans forward on his desk, smirking.]

Good afternoon, miss. Thank you again for freeing the Commander. If I had the opportunity, I would have freed him myself.

[ Lust turns on the video feed as well. The mask is now peeled back, and her ouroboros mark is completely visible. ]

Hello, sir. You don't have to worry about thanking me. It was my pleasure. [ There's an honest smirk on her face, matching Archer's in terms of sincerity. ] I've been looking for something to do and the docks get too still without him. [ Even if she thinks he's an idiot, he's her idiot and boss. ]

[Well, that’s not how Baroness or Zartan would have incapacitated the guards, but they’re not here, so who cares? Cobra’s just glad to be out of that darn cell early. Another week of sitting in there and doing ugh, community service, and he would’ve happily accepted a worse fate instead.]

I ssssee that I’ve been granted time off for good behavior.

[He’s just going to laugh at his own stupid joke before stepping forward.]

And as you know, I rarely thank people, but believe me, you have my thanks for the timely ressscue. I couldn’t ssstand another day in thisss wretched place with these idiotic excuses for police officers!

[For emphasis, he’s going to kick one of them while they’re down. Cobra can’t wait to be out of this place.]

[ Lust doesn't even bite an eyelash at his joke. She just stares half emptily into him as he cracks a ridiculously cheesy one liner. But, why not, she'll come back with this gem in a totally deadpan way. ]

You have been a very, very bad boy, Commander Cobra. [ If there was a sandwich, she would have totally taken a bite out of it. ]

You're quite welcome however. I had similar feelings. I couldn't stand another day without your presence creating moments of interest [ At least they passed the time better than Rocket grunts needing the same tutorial on moving crates. ] in the docks.

[ She also shrugs at the kick. ] I'm quite sure that one isn't going to feel it. Perhaps the kick will go better to the one that could still speak. [ Even if he's currently stun spored. ]

No. I’d prefer to leave that one be.

[No sudden change of heart here though.]

Don’t missstake this for compassion or sympathy. I would merely prefer for that one to remain consciousssss so that there’s a witness to what happened here! That way he can explain the details of thissss assault to the others once they recover!

[And he’s cackling now. Amazing what being broken out of prison does for his mood.]

[Obito had to take a minute to not rise to the insult. Was. Not. Worth. It.]

You're the one that decided to make a game of it, that's all I'm pointing out. Sure, you made effective use of it, but you can't tell me that you couldn't have gotten the same results with less damage, can you?

You're disgusting. There's no way you won't pay for this.
