Canada

Moonlake readied himself, he had no idea what Ketsters first move would be but he didn't want to find out and be caught off guard. Ketster took a deep breath and got into a fighting stance. There was silence, barely any movement. Inside the meeting room London and Isabel were hoping Ket would at least try and take it easy on Moonlake.

“Why so anxious, I thought you wanted to turn me inside out? Are you scared I may actually beat you? I thought you were an MI6 agent, not a civilian with a big mouth.”

"I'm not an anxious fuck off... Prick" Moonlake shot back.

Moonlake moved one paw behind his back and slowly started to move towards Ketster. The other Eevee stood perfectly still as he watched Moonlake approach him. Moonlake decided to kick it off with a series of attacks, Ketster dodged every one of them, trying to put his fight training at MI6 to use. Without warning, he revealed his paw, claws open and slashed Ketster in the face, he jumped back and held the wound on his face.

"Really..."

"Do you honestly think I'm going to just play 100% by your rules..." Moonlake replied.

"Wasn't expecting you to anyway..." Ketster responds.

Moonlake took some more swings at him. This time Ketster grabbed his arm and twisted it and tripped the little Eevee.

He snarled and fixed his arm, Ketster face pawed, "Why did you think that would work again"

Moonlake smiled, "Just a test-"

"A test huh..."

Moonlake jumps at Ketster again.

---

"Just as I predicted... He's not doing so well" London said worryingly as he watched the two fight.

"Yeah... He hasn't really completed his training yet" Isabel added.

"Yeah... At least he's holding his own"

Then London heard murmuring and laughing behind him so him and Isabel turned around. Low and behold, the other Eeveelutions were still betting money on the fight. Isabel looked in her pocket... The money she took from them was there, then she looked back up at them.

"Do you have any kind of discipline at all....?" She said.

"What" One of them says, playing dumb.

"We know what your doing, don't act like we're children!" London said, his eyes turning orange.

"Why do you gotta kill the fun though-" Brutus, the Sylveon agent, says.

"Oh I don't know, because Ketster is older and more experienced, because he's obviously winning?!" Isabel answered.

"What's the point of betting when you know he's going to win" London added, his eyes slowly reverting back to blood red.

“We haven’t seen Ketster in action on a proper even playing field, ever. He’s basically lost all muscle memory and he should’ve blocked that swipe at his face. This is us making some fun out of a very serious situation. Sit down and keep to your side of the table, or so help me, I will have both of you restrained until this ends.” Mjolnir said, the Jolteon giving the two a serious look.

London's eyes went back to orange again, the threat of restraint irritated him, he started glowing blue, as he glared at Mjolnir "I'd like to see you fucking try and tie me up, go ahead lay a finger on me-"

Isabel put his paw on his shoulder, "No, don't. We don't need more infighting right now-"

London looked at her and then back at Mjolnir who raised an eyebrow. He took a breath and decided to sit down.

"I hate this-" London said to himself.

They turn to the screen and watch as Ketster dodges another flurry of Moonlake’s punches, kicks and swipes.

The two concede and sit down in their chairs. As they turn their attention back to the screen, Moonlake performs a jump kick towards Ketster who catches his foot and swings Moonlake around in a semi circle and flings him sliding across the ground against a tree.

"When we get back to London, I'll talk to Kovar about it. Because I'm pretty sure what they're doing is against Canadian military regulations anyway" Isabel says.

London nods.

Ketster tossed Moonlake at a tree. Moonlake growled quietly.

“You give up yet?” Ketster asks, there were more cuts and bruises on him now.

"As if!" Moonlake retorts, his eyes glowing red, his leg was bleeding and he had bruises all over his body.

Ketster picks up a small rock and holds it up so Moonlake can see it.

“Round 2 when this hits the ground, ready?” Moonlake glares menacingly at Ketster as he throws the small rock gently in the air.

It lands and Moonlake comes at Ketster using Quick Attack. Ketster dodges with ease and Moonlake ungracefully lands and rolls into the ground.

“First time?” Ketster taunts and Moonlake quickly retorts by using Quick Attack yet again. Ketster dodges with ease again as Moonlake crashes into a tree and he climbs up it, disappearing into the canopy of tree tops.

“I thought you were an experienced or at least skilled MI6 agent. But all you are is just a child with a magic amulet and an idiotic infatuation with someone who doesn’t love you like you do.” Ketster taunts.

"Oh really?! You're a nosy loudmouth prick with no respect for anyone but yourself... Self centered piece of shit!" Moonlake shouts, then he uses Shadow Ball while running at him.

Ketster dodges the moves but doesn't see the next attack, he slides on his legs getting low enough to slash Ketster in the thigh. The pain echoes throughout his body and he grunts as Moonlake gets back up, his claws bloodstained and his eyes displaying complete rage. Ketster took a shaky breath and looked at the Eevee with an irritated groan.

"How much more pirimative can you get... Gah..."

"Trust me... You haven't seen how pirimative I can get, arsehole-" Moonlake shouts.

Ketster stands up straight and gets into a stance.

"... My love for London is none of your business! Get that threw your thick skull!" Moonlake shouts pointing at him.

Ketster does his best to shake off the pain in his thigh and uses Volt Tackle. Moonlake comes at him with Quick Attack yet again and when the two hit each other there's an intense and somewhat blinding flash of light.

Düsseldorf, Germany

Luke sits in his prison cell reading a magazine, the Lucario had been reading the same magazine for a while. Ever since he arrived at the prison he had been given tasteless nutrition paste, gotten into fights with other prisoners, tossed into solitary confinement multiple times, and even sexually harassed by the other prisoners there (To which he'd beat them until they were unrecognisable). He hated it so much, he was so deep into his anger he ripped the magazine, when he saw that he did he groaned and tossed it into the rubbish bin.

That's when the door opened, a Grovyle in a guard uniform holding a clipboard came inside, "Lukarin Jamison, you have a visitor"

"Don't care, fuck off-" Luke said, then he rolled onto his back.

"She says she's your mother but ok-" The guard says.

The Lucario groaned and jumped down from his bunk. The guard walked him to the visitors area and showed him to the booth where his mother, Amber, was.

She was wearing a pink outfit and gloves and she looked tired and worn out. Luke sat down and looked at his mother's eyes, the Aloalan Ninetales had flown in from the states to see her son after Delevio told her what he did.

"Why are you here"

"You tell me Luke... Why am I here-"

Luke sighed, "They told you about Shanghai didn't they-"

"They did-"

"Figured-"

"You could have gotten killed... Why would you even go after that serum-"

Then Amber took a small injector gun from her bag while Luke was distracted and injected him with something, the Lucario jumped, "Ow!"

He noticed the device as she put it back in her bag.

"That is a temporary solution to suppress the side effects of the serum. When I can I'll find a more permanent cure to this, you'll be the first one to get it... I promise" Amber said, smiling at him.

Luke took his mother's paw and squeezed it, "Thanks mom"

After the two were done talking, Amber took her leave. On her way out, Waterlily stopped her.

"What did you inject him with..." She asked.

"Something to suppress the side effects. Do you want him to go nuts and kill somemon?" She asked.

The Sylveon gave her a disapproving grumble and let her leave the building. Keyen handed her a file and the two walked back to the camera room to monitor Lukarin.

Queens, New York

Delevio lay in bed, but the bed never felt so empty without Luke there. It was at night when she wondered if there was ever some sort of way she could have coaxed Luke to leave the fighting club she caught him in and find some other way to control his violent tendencies. In the morning she decided to go and vist Cairo, Rico's girlfriend, and see how she was doing, when she arrived at Cairo's place she noticed her sitting outside looking at photographs of her and Rico in Australia together. Delevio sat next to her, Cairo looked down at her then back at the pictures.

"You okay?" Delevio asked.

"Yeah..." She replied, "It just hasn't felt the same since he left... I just hope he's alright. Hey I made some smoothies, wanna try some?"

"Yeah... Sure..." Delevio responded.

The two girls went inside and sat in the living room drinking the smoothies Cairo had made. The sun was shining and the neighbourhood was quiet. Delevio remembered that it had been the reason she and Rico moved to that area, because of how quiet and tranquil it was. The girls spent all day talking about the news, recent events and even an award Cairo's band won recently.

"You sure your okay?..." Delevio asked.

"Not really... It's been a while since I saw Ricardo. Kinda worried about him" Cairo responds, she takes a sip of the drink she made and sighs.

Delevio squirmed around in her seat until she was comfortable, "Talk to me-"

Cairo looked out the nearby window. "Every day, I just pray he comes home safe. Call it wishful thinking if you want, but I have hope. It... It sounds ridiculous considering they're on some International wanted list or whatever, but they're not bad guys. I think you of all people know Luke's not in control of his actions sometimes."

"I do... I just wish he seeked some sort of help sooner" Delevio responded.

"Yeah..." Cairo says, she finishes her drink and slams the cup on the coffee table, "That was good"

"It was" Delevio replied, she finished her drink and then she stood up and stretched for a little, "I better go before the kids get worried about me"

"Ah I understand, come back around sometime-" Cairo responds.

"Sure" Delevio says.

The Glaceon waves goodbye as she begins to walk to the train station. While she's at the station she thinks about what Cairo said to her. She wants to give Luke a chance to change but she's doubtful, nonetheless she wants to try and fix what she had most probably broken... Or at least the part she broke, she takes her phone from her pocket and calls Greene.

"Hey I have an idea... But you might not like it-" She says.

Unknown Location

A small concrete room, a broken light with a loud buzz, under the light sits a creme coloured Sylveon sitting down, looking down at the ground. There's a weight tied to her leg and she has cuts and bruises all over her face. She looks up at the door and suddenly feels angry, angry at the reason she was put there, angry at who put her there. One name came out of her mouth as she stared at the door with and in a fit of rage she shouted...

"London!"
