London arrived back in New York City with Benoit and Tokyo both of them clinging to him as if they were glued to the Flareon.

"Okay, it's time for bed" London said with a yawn.

"Aww! Come on! I'm not tired" Benoit moaned.

"Still time for bed" London replied, the Flareon picked Benoit up and stared at his green eyes with a lazy smile, before giving him a hug, "Your tired anyway"

Benoit's face turned red, "Why did you stare at me like that?"

"I don't know, you just look a little cute when you're tired" London replies, setting his bag on the floor.

Benoit moaned and kissed London's cheek, he liked the compliment.

"Blegh!" Tokyo went.

"I didn't kiss him on the mouth! So don't go on about it!" Benoit shouted.

"Uh huh" Tokyo replied before yawning.

London quaffed, "Such attitude heh heh"

Benoit rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around London as the Flareon carried him upstairs. Tokyo fell asleep on the steps, London noticed and after setting Benoit down so he could get ready for bed, he went down the steps and picked Tokyo up setting the Eevee in his bed before getting ready for bed, once he was finished he curled up on the mattress next to Benoit and fell asleep, Benoit moaned and wrapped his arms around London.

"Where are you going tomorrow?" Benoit whispered.

"Chicago, it's in Illinois. I've been, with Isabel and a few friends from high school" London whispered back.

"Hm, that's cool" Benoit rubbed his face on London's back, London sighs and closes his eyes.

"Ohhh, I love you" Benoit moans.

"You too" London whispered lazily.

The next morning, London gets ready and sets out. The Flareon remembers something, a pair of black circular shaped goggles he received from Isabel. The Flareon opened a box containing them and sighed.

"I really wonder what these do" London asked himself.

London put the box in his pocket and got on his boots, before he left Benoit ran up to London holding a container full of breakfast food.

"You didn't eat" Benoit said to him in concern.

"Oh... I guess I forgot" London replied, the Eevee whimpered nervously.

"Your so focused your forgetting to eat?!" Benoit whimpered.

"N-No -"

"Do you ever take a break?" Benoit asked nervously.

"Y-Yeah?" London replied, baffled at the question.

"Après cette mission, s'il vous plaît, pas seulement pour moi, faites une pause! (After this assignment, please, not just for my sake, take a break!)" Benoit said to London, the Eevee was started whining nervously.

"Benoit I want to take a break, I do. However, I'm one of the highest in command of the British millitary. I-I can't really take a break" London explained.

Benoit wiped his eyes and gave London a hug, "Just come home safely"

London frowned, he didn't like seeing Benoit so worried. The Eevee just wanted London to stay and love him. But unfortunately, as much as he wished it mattered more, saving America's future came first. But he at least felt like he owed poor Benoit, so he he did.

"When I come back... How about we go out to eat?" London said with a calming smile.

Benoit looked at him and wiped his eyes, the Eevee managed to smile, "Promise?"

London nodded and kissed him, "Love you"

He took the breakfast Benoit made him and left for the subway. Tokyo climbed onto Benoit and started nibbling on his tuft.

"You're still hungry aren't you?" Benoit said, pulling the Eevee away from his mane.

"Feed me!" Tokyo squealed in English, Benoit was surprised so he flinched a little,

"I see your English is getting better" Benoit replied.

"I buv you!" Tokyo squeaked, giving Benoit a hug.

"Aww" Benoit said.

Then Tokyo started nibbling on Benoit again, "But your comprehension of what's food and what's me isn't"

"Tasty" Tokyo squeaked, then he giggled.

Benoit groaned and sat on the couch, letting the Eevee start nibbling his mane like it was food.

London was leaving the station when Delevio jumped him...

"YOLO!" She shouts making London almost fall down the steps into the train station, luckily his tail stopped him. Delevio broke into laughter, London's eyes turned orange, he did not enjoy that.

"What the fuck are you doing!?!?" London shouts furious.

"Scaring you hahaha!" Delevio replied, still laughing.

"You almost killed me you buffoon!" London shouted.

"Sorry, hahaha!" Delevio replied through laughter, the Flareon sighed, ever since they met, Delevio had been surprising London all the time. Once while after dropping Moonlake off at school and another time while he was at his second home in Basingstoke. The Flareon hated that she did that because he always ended up getting scared half to death. Eventually Delevio stopped laughing and calmed down.

"Where are the Jamison brothers?" London asked.

"Their up at the World Trade Centre. Come on let's go up, Greene does not like when we are late" Delevio replied.

Her and London walked the rest of the way over to the skyscraper and took the lift up to the meeting room. When they got to the meeting room, London saw Luke and Rico sitting at the table and Greene sitting at the chair infront of the board, the Arcanine just finished eating some fried meat when he noticed the two sit down.

"Did you enjoy our wedding sir?" London asked.

Greene nodded and tossed the container with the bones in the rubbish, "Excellent food. Elisa loved it more though"

"What is with your wife and eating?" Rico asked, because he himself witnessed Greene's wife eat a boat load of Japanese delicacies at the wedding in Tokyo.

Greene shrugged, "No idea... Anyway, on to the situation. Yesterday, 5 Surren C-17s was seen leaving our airspace at approximately 1:30 last night, they dropped somewhere near southern Chicago and in the morning attacked the city. The police force was overwhelmed and forced to move up the city centre. The reason we have not been able to move in and neutralise them is because the Pokémon dropped in Chicago are an elite group of trained special forces soldiers trained to their max limit and this poses a serious problem for us because we do not have any special forces at the moment and the battalion we sent to Chicago is getting gassed. If we do not stop this attack, Chicago will fall under Surren control and will open up opportunities for them to invade our Northern territories. Now because we do not have a special forces branch, the British SAS have volunteered to help us. They are obviously not invincible so please do not let them get cut down. Any questions?" Greene explained.

Delevio's paw went up, "Who's fuckin idea was it to go deep into our territory and get into a fight there?" Delevio asked.

"If you wanna punch somemon in the face, you can punch this general" Greene said, Greene turned the page to show a picture of a Jolteon in a Surren millitary uniform, "Chief Sergeant Giuseppe Bottelavicci"

"What?" Delevio quivered.

London was puzzled, "I-I didn't know you had siblings!"

"M-Me niether" Luke replied, crossing his arms, he looked to Delevio, "Explain please"

Delevio looked at the table, biting her lip, "Um, Gio is-is my brother. I-I thought he ran away"

"Interesting, because guess what? We found a log cabin in Virginia and it seems to be pretty young and it had his belongings in it, I know because I had the DNA checked and your brother put your paws on everything there. Then years later, we discovered a Jolteon who broke into one of our research facilities in Sweden, he was after an experimental drug that could make a Pokémon indestructible... He did not succeed and we captured him. But it wasn't until 2015 when he escaped, he was never seen again. Later we found intelligence and it turns out he met Paine in San Fransisco and he helped shape up the Surren special forces. He became the head of Surren special forces and is responsible for over seventy thousand fatalities. Delevio, in the event you meet your brother, do not show him any mercy, he's dangerous, not just with weapons but his Electric type moves can kill you in one blow. Your brother has been sent by Paine to invade Chicago and he has been said by our spies to be brutal to anymon, his troops, enemies, allies, even civilians... He truly will go to any means necessary to win" Greene explained.

Delevio squeezed her fist she thought Giuseppe was dead. But it turned out he was alive and well. She remembered the days when him and her would play outside in the front of their childhood house together, Giuseppe would always fall over and giggle whenever Delevio told him a joke, now that happy smiling Eevee was gone, turned into a monster by Paine and killing any Pokémon in his way, even though he was a monster, she did not want to kill him. She wanted to see if he truly had become a monster.

"What the hell..." She shivered.

"In any case Delevio, if he attacks you you are expected to open fire on him no matter what, do you hear me?" Greene says crossing his huge arms.

Delevio looks down at the table more intensely, "Yes sir..." She replies gravely.

Later, the four are shipped to Canada and driven by the Canadians to Chicago, arriving to see the streets crowded and full of Pokémon, cars, buses and trucks. The Chicago El cut service to the south of the city to keep the Surren from getting in using the tracks. The city was truly in a state of chaos.

(Red = Surren held position, Blue = Playfeld held position, Black = Playfeld aerial defense line, Yellow = Surren Objective (Capture City Hall))

When they arrived at the Willis Tower they saw heavily armed Pokémon both American and British guarding the entrance and the blocks in the area. There were deployable turrets stationed on the top of the tower incase an enemy helicopter or plane passed by. There was a wrecked helicopter that was lying on the street which was good enough evidence that the Surren made an attempt to try and land in the centre of town.

The four took the lift up to the 50th floor where Captain Temple was waiting for them.

"Captain Winters, thank Arceus your hear" Temple said, the Braxien stood up from his desk and walked over to London.

"What do you have?" London asked.

"Bottelavicci's forces pounded our soldiers south of West 79th Street, only 105 soldiers returned. However they did gather intelligence about their plans, they plan on coming in from Oak Lawn, Cicero, Burnham, and Harvey" Temple explained.

"Where are the most of the amassing?" London asked.

"We believe near Cicero and Harvey. However there is speculation that they might be more near Burnham and an attack from South Shore on Lake Michigan is likely" Temple replied.

London looked at the map of Chicago, Luke and Rico walked around it, the four thought for a moment then they had their decision.

London gestured for Temple to hand him a marker, he gave him one. The Flareon drew some lines on the streets on the map, then he stopped to think and then began drawing again, two minutes later he had it, a plan to force the Surren away from Chicago.

(Blue = Chicago area under the Playfeld. Red = Area of Surren control. Pink = Possible Surren advance. Yellow = London's plan. Green = Current fighting zone. Please note that the Canadians are dealing with the Surren soldiers in North Chicago)

"We need three groups. One will take on the group near Oak Park, one will deal with Cicero and the third will go down to Burnham. How many soldiers do we have?" London asked.

"Um we have 60,000 British troops and 45,000 Playfeld soldiers sir" Temple replied.

"Then we send 35,000 to each location" Delevio replied, doing the math in her head.

"Good idea, however from my experience as a spy, I know that sometimes an attack is often successful when you have the element of surprise anything is possible" London replied.

Everymon in the room looked each other, "So what's the plan?"

London smiled, "You'll see"

The next day, the Surren moved into Chicago traveling up South Halsted Street toward the intersection at West 80th Street, they left from Harvey, Illinois and arrived at Chicago one hour later. There were a total of around 63,500 soldiers in red and black moving toward the intersection lead by Bottelavicci. Giuseppe looked around and at the corpses of Playfeld and American soldiers who died fighting days earlier. The Jolteon kept a straight face, caring for them as if they were flies.

"Sir, there is nothing here" a Ninetales told him.

Giuseppe looked back at him, "Keep looking around... Surprises can appear randomly, like a primitive Ursaring suddenly pouncing on its prey"

One of the Ursaring soldiers in the battalion hear that and rolled his eyes.

"Sorry, but I had to make a point" Giuseppe said to the soldier, "Anyway keep moving, keep your guard up"

But before they could keep moving one of the soldiers dropped like a fish from a sniper shot, then more and more kept dropping like fish. Giuseppe turned to hear his men screaming and yelling in agony so him and the other soldiers took cover. Rico had put down so far 15 of the soldiers in two minutes, he took out a notepad and wrote down the amount he killed, "Hmm almost at my record heh heh" He said to himself.

Suddenly, the Playfeld battalion came into view opening fire on the Surren soldiers taking cover behind cars, some dared themselves and challenged them, but were quickly dealt with by an M4A1.

Leading the team was Delevio and Luke, London was one of the snipers in the houses nearby. The gunfire stopped when Delevio signalled.

"Gio!" Delevio shouted angrily.

The Jolteon looked over at Delevio his eyes went wide, though she had evolved, he was able to recognise his own sister.

"D-Delevio" He whispered.

"I'll give you once chance, stand down" Delevio said, squeezing her M4A1.

Giuseppe stepped backward nervously, "Is this a dream?"

"Sir! Orders!" One of the Surren soldiers shouted.

Giuseppe took a moment to answer, "Sorry sis... I'm different now"

"Then so am I... Rico! London! Start firing" Delevio said over the radio, "Engage!"

With that the fighting started, Giuseppe squeezed his fist he did not want to fight his own sister, he really didn't. Now it was the two standing in front of each other as the gunfire and explosions went on in the background, since they were unable to see the snipers the, the Surren soldiers were being taken out so fast that most of them were not even able to fire their weapons.

"Wh-When... When did you join the US military?" Giuseppe asked nervously.

"I've in the CIA since I was ten" Delevio replied, glaring angrily at Gio.

"Ha! Like I should believe that" Giuseppe replied.

"Oh really? Because do you wanna know happened to mom hm? She died of liver damage, drunk herself to death. Do you know why she killed herself with all that fuckin alcohol? It's because her son ran away just because he wasn't doing well in school!" Delevio shouted.

"And what did you want me to do?! Keep failing?! Keep being bullied?! Keep getting fuckin yelled at by mom?! -" Giuseppe shouted back.

"You didn't have to leave! Bottom line!" Delevio shouted back at him.

"Yes I did! Because I just wanted to be alone! I just wanted to live in peace an' harmony" Giuseppe shouted.

"And then become one of the most dangerous criminals on the fucking planet?! Pff, you've lost your mind!" Delevio yelled.

"If it makes me a fuckin livin I'll do it!" Giuseppe shouted back at her.

"What the hell is wrong with you!? Why the hell did you join up with fucking Paine!?" Delevio shouted.

"Because he promised me a better life in this country if I did. I'd get a chance to be a true soldier, I've always wanted to be like dad, and here I am!" Giuseppe flinging his arms up in exasperation.

Delevio could not believe what was happening, her own brother, the Eevee who once always had a smile on his face and cuddled up with Delevio whenever he wanted to talk... Was gone, all the Glaceon saw was a monster of a Surren millitary commander, "You're not my brother, your a stupid, sadistic, genocidal, criminally insane, murderous bitch!" Delevio screamed.

Giuseppe flinched, the Jolteon looked down at the road, he never wanted his sister to say that to him. He wiped his face... Suddenly a rage of anger overtook him and he grabbed his shotgun from under his trenchcoat and cocked it, "Then you're not my sister!"

He fired it, Delevio braced - nothing happened. Then she looked and saw blood fly from a Lucario's gut... Luke threw himself infront of her.

"Luke!" She shrieked, she ran over to him, the Lucario was groaning.

"Guh, relax, I've felt worse" Luke wheezed.

Then Delevio noticed one of the prototype bracelets his mother made on his wrist, "Really, I'll be fine, go"

At that moment, Delevio's eyes suddenly turned bright blue, her fur became cold. Luke's eyes went wide, he had no idea what was happening, she got up and turned to Giuseppe, the Jolteon's face expressed uneasiness, "You stupid piece of shit!" Delevio screamed.

With a motion of her paw a blue energy orb fired from her paw and froze Giuseppe solid. When the Surren soldiers saw their commander frozen and struggling in the block of ice, they got nervous.

"Aww shit man, I don't wanna end up like that" The Ursaring said nervously.

"A-Agreed, th-that's one cold chick - Retreat! Get the wounded and retreat!" The Ninetales shouted.

With that, the Surren took off, their wounded on their back being carried away, as they fled Chicago, two Canadian helicopters flew over the Playfeld soldiers and started shooting at them to make sure they fled Chicago.

"No where are you going!?" Giuseppe shouted, his voice muffled from inside because of his icy encasing.

"The only place your going is New York!" Delevio shouted, eyes still blue, furiousness in her voice and face.

Giuseppe gulped, because it was at that moment when he realised he fucked up... He fucked up real bad.

- - - - -

Later

Two medics arrived and lifted the wounded Playfeld soldiers onto stretchers, Luke was lifted onto one, London, Rico and three other snipers emerged from the buildings they provided themselves with to see how Luke was doing. London saw what Delevio did and looked at the Glaceon as if she was a clown. She looked at London then back at Luke who was holding her paw and smiling calmly.

"Don't you ever do that again, you hear me?" Delevio whimpered.

"Delly, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to protect you... Okay?" Luke replied.

She squeezed his paw, and looked down at the ground, "I'm sorry if I frightened you"

Luke laughed, "That was nothing!"

"Just heal up okay?" Delevio replied, stroking his forehead.

"Sure" Luke replied.

"Okay love birds, it's time to separate for a little while -" Rico started.

Luke was irked, he gave his brother an annoyed stare, "Shut the fuck up Rico! I don't barge into your moments with Cairo, so don't barge into mine you idiot!"

Rico grumbled, "Why do you have to be so rude, and so mean too?"

"Because your annoying as hell that's why!" Luke replied.

"Are you serious!? You're the one listening to rock on full blast!" Rico shouted, getting irritated with Luke.

"And you chew with your mouth open you bum!" Luke shouted back, getting irritated with Rico.

Some of the soldiers nearby laughed at the brother and brother drama that unfolded. Even Delevio still found the drama funny. In the end, Giuseppe was sent to New York, Chicago was eventually freed and the Surren soldiers who tried to take Chicago were all arrested. Now that the Surren posed a serious threat to them, Canada entered the war which meant, the Playfeld had another alley to support them.

London arrived home later that night, Benoit suddenly hugged him, the Eevee was scared and nervous.

"Wh-What's wrong?" London asked, the Flareon hugging him back.

"Th-There is a Sylveon in the house and she has a gun" Benoit whimpered.

"What Sylveon -"

At that moment London knew who he was talking about, "Where's Tokyo?"

"I-I convinced her to let me take him upstairs" Benoit whimpered.

London looked on his phone to see that Greene sent a notification to London about Rena escaping the police precinct.

Lucas Greene

Mansur has escaped from the precinct, driving a 2005 Honda Civic license plate CGO-6782. Intent is unknown, capture or KOS authorised.

London loaded his Glock, "Go upstairs"

Benoit nodded and ran up the steps, London raised his weapon and started to slowly make his way to the kitchen, the entrance to the dining room was also in the kitchen, in the dining room was Mansur in a black coat, twirling a switchblade.

"About time you arrived" She said, legs up on the table.

London shot her in the arm and she fell off the chair, Mansur groaned and got up, the nerves in her shoulder felt like they were on fire, London slid across the table and smacked her with his tail sending her into the wall, before she could stand up he grabbed her by her chest ribbon and tossed her into the living room, before she could stand he kicked her in the ribs, his eyes were orange and his fur was as hot as a heated metal pot.

"Who the fuck do you think you are bitch?! You think I'm just gonna let you break into my house, threatened my little brother, threaten my boyfriend, and then get away!? You're really outta of your fucking tree!" London snarled.

"You should have saved my parents then!" Rena snarled back.

"The fate of the bloody world is more important then your parents! You think it was a hard option for me? Guess what, it was! Now what's done is done!" London shouted back.

"Oh yeah, the lives of my mum and dad are less important than the lives of a bunch of other people who's souls just so happened to get caught in the crossfire of whatever the situation was!" Rena shouted, tears dripping from her eyes.

London, infuriated with her selfishness kicked her like a football and she rolled across the floor.

"You stupid girl! Did you not hear what I said!?" London shouted, the Flareon's eyes glowing brighter.

"You're more stupid!" Rena shouted back.

London had enough, two orange red hot tentacles extended from London's mane and wrapped around Rena, the Sylveon tried desperately to escape the burning hot tentacles as they squeezed tighter. London then smashed her on the floor and the tentacles retracted.

Rena was burned on her waist, but she did her best to shake off the pain, she let her feelers surge at London, the Flareon grabbed them and and swung her from her spot in the ground around and around before throwing her into the ceiling and letting her fall to the floor.

"You just won't forget about this shit won't you? Huh? - If you keep on going on about it, I will erase your memory. So not only will this whole problem be solved if I do, you won't remember Millia, you remember who you are, and you sure as hell won't know how to fight with those fucking feelers you bitch!" London shouted.

Mansur squeezed her fist.

"You're being sent to Germany, far away from me, anyone I know, and far from any help" London shouted.

"You wouldn't dare!" Rena growled glaring at London furiously.

"Just did you stupid wanker" London replied then he opened the door for the soldiers outside to come in, one was a Pignight the other a Weavile. The two picked up a furiously squirming Rena and tossed her in the back of the van before slamming the door and driving away. Greene arrived and ran up the steps to London's home, the Flareon's eyes returned to red, he was calm again.

"London, I'm so sorry, the police lost her, the BQE and the Manhattan Bridge were a mess -" Greene started.

"It's fine, they're alive" London replied with a smile.

"We're shipping her off to Germany so she won't be a threat to you or to anymon else you know" Greene replied.

London just suddenly gave Greene a hug, he understood why though, "You must've had a fright huh?"

"Very big one yeah" London replied.

Greene hugged him back, he let London know he wasn't alone in this situation, "Elisa was once held hostage by a group of domestic terrorists. They wanted to take my life so she could keep hers, but all they ended up seeing in the end were bullets and Elisa was scared of guns at the time so... Honestly I was very proud of her and to make her feel better we went to her favourite place"

"What's your point?" London asked, the Flareon a little confused as to why he was telling an old tale.

"No matter how terrifying a situation like this might be, your loved one will always show bravery, that's what counts, always" Greene replied.

"Thank You Lucas" London said, feeling a little more at ease.

"You're welcome" Greene replied, letting go of London, "See ya soon"

"Good night!" London called.

Benoit climbed into London's arms and gave him a kiss, "You're okay" He whispered.

"I know" London replied, then he remembered the time to eat out with Benoit as promised, "Have ya decided where we're having dinner?"

"I found this nice French place in Williamsburg, I think you might like it" Benoit replied, poking his little fingers.

"Well what are we waiting for? Come on!" London said excitedly.

Tokyo hopped into London and yawned, London closed the door and set Benoit down so he could walk with him, Benoit held his paw.

"Hey London?" Benoit said looking up at London.

"Yeah?" The Flareon replied.

"Your the best" Benoit said.

London smiled and giggled, "So are you"

Benoit chirped adoring the comment London gave him.

For the rest of the night, the three enjoyed French food and a night of laughing, jokes, gossip and love. Mansur may have spoiled London's return home, but spending time with Benoit and Tokyo is all London needed to feel better... When your loved ones are strong, so are you.
