The Cryptex ( A Pokemon Adventure) PG-17

[Renege]

(OOC: I'm sooo sorry. I did not see your post!)

"You took your sweet time," Flo didn't know who this guy thought he was trying to scold her like she was a little kid. Once she took control of TA he would be her servant the one that fed her grapes every hour. "I'm not sure Madame Scarlet will be impressed that your not wearing your uniform though, but she will sort that out when you arrive," Did this guy really think he was doing someone justice Flo just needed to see this Madame Scarlet person.

"Now when we reach Main Base you will disembark and report to Madame Scarlets PA, her name is Olga and she will escort you to the place where Madame Scarlet is awaiting, you will address Madame as My Lady untill she has given you authority to call her by Madame Scarlet." The guy was giving her all this information that she was bound to forget before it even got any use.

"Just one, are you always this dull?" Flo asked with a serious look on her face this guy didn't even introduce himself.

 

[Tristan16]

"Just one, are you always this dull?" came the grunts response

Marzapan chuckled "Once you begin working with Madame Scarlet as closely as we Higher-Ups have you'll find there is no room for humour, the names Marzapan by the way" he finished "Although around others you should address me as Senior Officer Marzapan, now lets get going before Madame has a fit shall we"

And with that he lifted the dropship into the skies and flew up towards the clouds. After a few moments they broke through the clouds and there looming in front of them was Main Base. Marzapan flew the dropship into the hanger and landed gently on one of the un-occupied landing pads and then turned around to the grunt

"Welcome to Team Arcelagos Main Base, a true bueaty to behold" he spoke with inspiration "Ah, theres Olga waiting for you over there" and he pointed towards a large door that led inside the airship "Go and meet her and she will take you to where you need to go, meanwhile I will inform Madame Scarlet of your arrival" he finished and opened the dropships door "It was a pleasure to meet you.." he paused trying to think "im sorry I didnt get your name?"

Amaterasu entered the ruins with her retinue after the two guards were distracted through luck, well dumb luck for the second one. She found lightings added to the ruins unsurprisingly by the workers as they would need lights to work in a place like this. The ladder was presumably there in the first place along with a lift used by worers to transport items from the ruins to the surface and vice-versa. All but one grunt climbed downstairs and used the lift to bring the explosives down.

Amaterasu then found the new room crowded with workers. She knew that the workers were from various organizations just by their uniforms. Stealing the Cryptex or something like that would be difficult.

The other grunt got out a Hoothoot for an idea he thought out. The owl pokemon then flew to the ceiling and started casting hypnosis on the unsuspecting archeologists. Amaterasu was personally frustrated by the grunt as she wanted to take the initiative and get all the praise from her brother.

The female grunt then quickly produced a white bag to place the Cryptex inside. After guessing that the Cryptex might be hidden inside a safe along with other excavated items, she quickly got her Gligar out and ordered it to use rock smash on all of the safes as she didn't know what the Cryptex looked like. When all the safes were destroyed, the bag was filled with stolen items. The other grunt already prepared the explosives to set in thirty minutes from now to make sure they can escape before the ruins are demolished for good.

The female grunt look around again to make sure everything was done before they leave. After checking everything she needed to do were complete, she signalled the other grunts to leave the ruins immediately.

"Once you begin working with Madame Scarlet as closely as we Higher-Ups have you'll find there is no room for humour, the names Marzapan by the way. Although around others you should address me as Senior Officer Marzapan, now lets get going before Madame has a fit shall we" Flo looked at this guy did he really think that she was going to remember this information he was feeding her. She really wanted to know why she was coming to see this "Madame" person.

"Welcome to Team Arcelagos Main Base, a true beauty to behold.Ah, theres Olga waiting for you over there" The man pointed somewhere and she saw the door he was talking about. "Go and meet her and she will take you to where you need to go, meanwhile I will inform Madame Scarlet of your arrival. It was a pleasure to meet you.." Flo looked at him finally ready to get off of this death trap. "I'm sorry I didn't get your name?"

"Flo, remember it. Soon I'll be leading this place!"

With that Flo went through the door and knowing that whenever she saw this Marzapan next that it'd be too soon. Now this Olga person was the last person she needed to see before she met Madame Scarlett. Whatever, Flo just wanted to be head of TA now but she knew that ambition was too high. She saw this Olga person, "Are you taking me to this "Madame Scarlett"? If so, let's hurry up and go."

 

[Spanner226]

The security was easily bypassed; with the trees surrounding the area, hiding was an easy task, though Hanako felt a tad.....drowsy; perhaps hypnosis was in effect some meters away? Letting out a small yawn, she continued on rather quickly, and the area was barren, much to her surprise, and found [nearly] every worker fast asleep. There was no mistaking it; hypnosis was used in the area. Awareness reduced by slight drowsiness, Hanako did not notice the sound of the timed explosive nearby, though it did catch her notice visually, along with the plethora of broken safes that were most likely filled with findings from the excavation.

A time bomb....along with the broken safes.... she thought. A closer inspection gave her a slightly disappointed expression. I've seen these before when I was a child, when I had a solid interest in mechanics. Easily dealt with, like on that incident when I was around twelve; to be quite frank, I've never seen a criminal organization(a fairly "decent" one that actually posed a fairly large threat), use such an outdated [and crappy] model for a timed bomb. Well, there's funds to be concerned about occasionally, I'd assume. However, upon carefully [and slowly] removing the outer shell of the bomb, she noticed something rather different than the outdated model. The wiring is arranged differently, more wires were added, and there seems to be...mercury within the bomb? Rather vexing indeed; that simply makes the bomb more difficult to disable.........................................................................perhaps......Then cutting this orange wire would be the first step.........then that would..........hrm.....*snip* That didn't seem to have much effect; that's most likely a turn for the better....so the next would be.......perhaps........

 

[Tristan16]

Olga stood waiting as the grunt approached her

"Are you taking me to this "Madame Scarlett"? If so, let's hurry up and go."

Olga was appalled at the attitude of this grunt "While i'll allow you to speak that way to me, I will assure you that Madame Scarlet will have none of it" Olga spat "Now about your uniform or rather lack of it" she continued "Whilst it is against regulations I think Madame will let this one slip as the task she has for you would be better carried out in plain clothes" she finished "Now lets go, we've kept Madame waiting long enough"

And with that Olga led the grunt through the ship down numerous hallways but came to an abrupt stop outside a door that had a shiny bronze plaque on it that:

"HEAD GRUNTS OFFICE"

Olga turned to the female grunt "See this office here" she motioned to the door "It is currently empty due to a failure made by the previous occupant, he met a swift punishment" she continued "Now im not sure Madame would approve of me showing you this but I thought it might help you to change your attitude, this office could be yours should you successfully complete the task Madame gives you" Olga went on "Its far from being a Commander but your the second person to come this close to the position which shows that your a cut above the rest of the imbeciles we hire around here" "Madame will explain the rest of the perks and what not that come with that title, lets move on shall we" and Olga continued down the hall

Eventually they came to the end of the hall and in front of them stood two massive floor to ceiling doors. Olga went up to a speaker that sat on the wall beside the doors and held down a button

"My Lady, I have brought the grunt as requested" she spoke into the speaker

after a few moments a voice came back through

"Very good Olga, show her in"

Olga turned back around to face the grunt "Madame will see you now" and she motioned for the grunt to open the door

 

[Ethan Gold]

Susanowo was going through another stack of paperwork in his office. The paperwork were usually about the assets of Team Arcelago, the grunts under his command or various smaller organizations. He calmly sipped his tea as he went through them.

The commander was then interrupted by a phone call. He guessed that it was his sister or Madame Scarlet as he picked the call up.
"Sergeant Amaterasu reporting." Came a voice.
"Report." He answered.
"I have captured several articles from the Ruins of Alph." She reported. "Since we have no clue on the appearance of the Cryptex, we chose to take many artifacts as we can."
"Well, none of us knew what the Cryptex looked like anyway." he stated. "Once you reach Kanto, destroy the van so we would leave no evidence as well. You will then return to Vermillion with a boat prepared in Pallet."
"Roger." Came the answer.

 

[Spanner226]

Hm......then perhaps.............no, cutting that would short circuit the bomb, causing a preemptive explosion.... Hanako was still busy with the bomb, with three wires to cut in the correct order within about ten minutes. Imagine if this area blew up with the Cryptex still not found by anyone, with said artifact still lying within; it'd be a loss for everyone interested. That'd be quite the disappointment. She thought for a split second as the timer was still enabled, counting the amount of time left until the bomb exploded. ....Ah! There it is! This should disable the vibrations that would cause the bomb to explode, and then the last two disable the timer.*snip(x3)*That would finish......oh? Radioactive materials, I see. Quite impressive, if I may say so(I wonder how they were able to get their hands on materials such as francium). Such a material shall be salvaged for later examination, and perhaps, usage. She took the materials and placed them in a small, oil-filled bottle. Well, now that we're here..... She sent out Gible once again to find a proper digging spot, and initiate, but not perform the entire time, a digging operation. Some equipment lying around was also salvaged, and said equipment was still fairly new and sturdier than the older equipment, which showed small signs of rust.

 

[Ethan Gold]

Susanowo, after finishing the last batch of work got off his chair and walked towards the door. He signalled the guards in his room to follow.

As he left his office, he walked to the communication grunt. "Tell Madame Scarlet." The commander began. "That I will visit Tohjo Falls for a while to train myself." The grunt quietly nodded as he saw the commander leave the base.

Susanowo got into the Soulless, his personal airship. The airship was in greyish-blue with yellow details, his personal colour. Commanders have adopted "heraldry" for their personal equipment to make them distinguisable to equipments used by grunts. One of Madame Scarlet's henchmen had to inspect the colours used so it will not look better than Madame's personal equipment.

"Prepare the ship to depart Vermillion City and depart to Tohjo Falls immediately!" Susanowo ordered to the captain of the airship.

***

Amaterasu looked at her watch as the Ruins of Alph was getting further away. She had to make sure that the place is demolished.

"3...2...1..." She chanted to count the last moment of the ruins. She looked again at the ruins. Nothing seemed to have happened. She stared at it for a few more seconds. The Ruins of Alph was clearly not destroyed.

"Stop the van!" She ordered. The van stopped with it's emergency brakes. "Drop me off here and return after the stolen goods are handed to Commander Susanowo! I think someone is trying to foil our plans!"

She quickly ran out of the van and rushed towards the direction of where the explosion was supposed to be.

 

[Tristan16]

(OOC sorry i've been a bit innactive guys, i cant do much untill renege posts again and her posts seem to be few and far between. i may scrap my side plot involving her and get bak to the main story if things dont start happening)

 

[Renege]

(OOC: I'm not a her, as my gender clearly states I'm a male. I apologize sometimes it's slips my mind if you wanna send me a profile comment telling me to hurry and post feel free to do so.)

"While i'll allow you to speak that way to me, I will assure you that Madame Scarlet will have none of it" This old lady was getting grumpy Flo used the term "old" to anyone who was her senior it made her feel young. "Now about your uniform or rather lack of it. Whilst it is against regulations I think Madame will let this one slip as the task she has for you would be better carried out in plain clothes. Now lets go, we've kept Madame waiting long enough" Flo yawned as the lady kept talking on and on would she ever see this person, Madame Scarlett.

Flo looked at a plaque that said, "HEAD GRUNTS OFFICE" and she knew that this is where she belonged.

"See this office here" Flo looked at the office there was nothing in there it was sparking clean. What was the point in showing her this? "It is currently empty due to a failure made by the previous occupant, he met a swift punishment. Now im not sure Madame would approve of me showing you this but I thought it might help you to change your attitude, this office could be yours should you successfully complete the task Madame gives you" Was this lady accusing her of having an attitude how dare she! "Its far from being a Commander but your the second person to come this close to the position which shows that your a cut above the rest of the imbeciles we hire around here. Madame will explain the rest of the perks and what not that come with that title, lets move on shall we"

"My Lady, I have brought the grunt as requested" After they walked what felt like a mile in Flo's mind they came across two doors. They were huge and the lady, Olga, started to talk into it.

"Very good Olga, show her in" Flo guessed that this was Madame Scarlett hopefully this was worth it.

"Madame will see you now" Olga stated.

"Obviously! Don't quit your day job," Flo said with a smile as she walked through the door hopefully this Madame Scarlet would just hand over the reins to TA. Flo thought that was the best idea she had yet but first she would need to be the best Commander there was.

Espire
Route 38​

Espire felt the cold,hard floor of the Van. Espire struggled to get up, but his hands were cuffed so he fell back on to the Van floor. Espire drifted back to sleep.
Espire was awaken by the metal doors open and someone barking orders at him. Espire looked up around and found himself in Olivine City. A Policeman dragged him out into the street. He was greeted by Professor Oak. " How nice to see you again Espire," Oak bloated, as he delivered a punch to Espire's chin. " F*** you Oak," Espire retorted. This remark was followed by a Police Baton to his Rib Cage. " Take him to Cinnabar," Oak lazily said. The Policeman grabbed Espire by his folded arms and hauled him into a Titanium Skiff with the words " Johto Police" Painted on it. the Policeman brought Espire to the Cargo hold and locked him in. Espire sat in the hold, with his arms bound behind his back, contemplating escape. Espire sat there for hours, thinking about how long he could keep the secret. He heard the door open and a Policeman walked in. " Here is your food @$$hole," the Policeman retorted. Espire charged at the Policeman, headbutting him and the Policeman fell to the floor. Espire stomped on the guards face and ran out of the Cargo hold. Espire dashed up to the Captain's Cabin, which contained Professor Oak, A Policeman and a Sailor piloting the Boat. " Officer, throw this man overboard," Oak ordered. " But Sir, he is very important for your search for the Cryptex," the Policeman. " No ifs or buts," Oak retorted. " Throw him over." " Sir, yes Sir," the Policeman promised as he grabbed Espire. Espire struggled to escape the grasp of the Policeman but it was no use. The Policeman dragged Espire out to the deck, unlocked Espire's handcuffs, and pushed Espire over the railing and into the Deep blue sea. Espire struggled for air as the waves came crashing over him. He saw Oak relax on the railing. " Have a nice trip," Oak smirked. Espire felt the ice cold water splash over him. Espire drifted off into an odd slumber.

(OOC oh gosh im so sorry, i just thort cos ur character was a female but then im a male and my character is a female ahaha again sorry)

After a few seconds the large double doors opened and the grunt Scarlet had waited so long to meet stood before her. Scarlet immediately saw the determination in the girls eyes and knew instantly that one day she would lead TA, scarlet quickly dimissed this thought as she didnt plan to give up her dream anytime soon. Scarlet next noticed that the girl wasn't wearing a uniform.

"And where, might I ask, is your uniform" she questioned the girl "Never mind we dont have time for that and this task would be better served in plain clothes" she continued "Now, lets get one thing straight. You stand before me today only because none of my more adept underlings were available and I needed this job done immediately. So dont go getting any ideas that i chose you above them" Scarlet went on "Now onto the task. This plan is of immense scale and you will be provided with any and all equipment, personel and transportation that you require. Failure of this plan is NOT and option and it would be in your lifes interest to ensure it all goes well. Without the success of this plan Team Arcelago will be unable to grow and expand its horizons and that is not a load you would want to carry now is it. The mission I have for you.." Scarlet took a moment for dramatic pause
"Is to rob clean every bank on the Johto/Kanto continent so that we may have the appropriate monetary funds to complete the first Team Arcelago Land Base" She announced proudly "I wont go into strenuous detail but it will be the biggest structure in the entire province of Kanto/Johto. It will cover an entire Island and extend to the ocean floor. Now with a bigger base comes bigger jobs and responsabilities and this would mean that a certain head grunt position would now command and entire sector of the new base and would ensure its smooth running of day to day operations and all training etc of grunts" Scarlet knew this would get the grunts attention
"Now if you head back down towards the aircraft hangar you will see a large door labled "STOCK", enter this door and you will find all the weapons, vehicles etc that are available to TA. Take your pick of items making sure to only choose those that would be beneficial to the success of the mission" she finished "Now i suppose I should ask if you have any questions?"

 

[Ethan Gold]

Amaterasu finally reached the entrance to the ruins. The guards were still asleep from the hypnosis and she was able to pass through without a problem. She ran towards the ruins to catch the person that foiled her mission.

She heard digging sounds from below. By the sound, she guessed that there is more than one people still awake. She stealthily climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the ruins.

Just as she suspected. She found the bomb disarmed and dismantled along a girl with a wolf mask and a Gible digging in the ruins. Judging by the looks, the Gible was a baby. Decided to catch them off guard, she ordered Spinarak to string-shot at the trainer and Gligar to sludge bomb the Gible. She loaded her pistol and walked towards them while fixing her rather uncomfortable pith helmet.

"Alright." She started. "I don't care who you are, but you know the likes of you are not welcome here." She was ready to aim her gun at the trainer incase she attempts to retaliate.

 

[Spanner226]

".......Is that so?" Hanako questioned. "Then I'll assume that you're the one who had decided to decimate an entire area, and possibly an entire population with this fine little specimen?" She took out the small bottle from her pocket. "But that's besides the point; your 'goal' would be far more difficult if you killed me; I have an image reference of the Cryptex. You certainly want it; do you not?

"And even if you killed me and took what I had, it'd be near impossible to crack the code leading to my computer's main database...That is, unless, you want to decipher over ninety thousand pages worth of letters, special characters, and numbers, and memorize them all. I wouldn't be surprised if it took you nearly five months, or even five years, to figure it out.

"However, if you'd put that gun of yours down, then perhaps I can provide the image of the otherworldly relic, and even provide locations to where said artifact could be. I can't necessarily assure you that said data would be accurate, though. I also cannot assure you that I won't disable all security in that extremely large airship of yours, though perhaps I will adjust its system to allow it to cloak."

 

[Ethan Gold]

Amaterasu started to hesitate for a moment. The girl could be bluffing or telling the truth. Getting an image of the Cryptex can make the search for the relic easier. She reluctantly placed the pistol back into her utility belt.

"Seems like you are more valuable alive." She commented. "I will have to take you to Madame Scarlet for this one. I will have to contact one of Madame Scarlet's henchmen for this."

She quickly got out her Arcelago communicator and contact Madame Scarlet's airship.

***

Susanowo sat still. He sat still on a stone while the waterfall crushed his head. This was to train himself so he would become stronger.

The commander's pokemon were fighting the wild water type pokemon hiding under the water while their master was training as well.

Outside the Tohjo Falls, the grunts under Susanowo's command stayed with the airship placed near the exit incase someone foolish enough might attempt disrupt the commander's training and to guard the impressive transport.

 

[Renege]

"And where, might I ask, is your uniform" she questioned the girl

"Uhh..." Flo said as she heard the voice and then saw Madame Scarlet. Shoot she didn't have a proper excuse prepared, "Never mind we dont have time for that and this task would be better served in plain clothes"

Phew that one was close the lady kept on talking,"Now, lets get one thing straight. You stand before me today only because none of my more adept underlings were available and I needed this job done immediately. So dont go getting any ideas that i chose you above them" This lady was soooo lucky that she was the boss which reminded Flo to nod and fake smile at everything she said. "Now onto the task. This plan is of immense scale and you will be provided with any and all equipment, personel and transportation that you require. Failure of this plan is NOT and option and it would be in your lifes interest to ensure it all goes well. Without the success of this plan Team Arcelago will be unable to grow and expand its horizons and that is not a load you would want to carry now is it. The mission I have for you.."

Flo waited for her to go on but apparently she liked to hear herself echo! "Is to rob clean every bank on the Johto/Kanto continent so that we may have the appropriate monetary funds to complete the first Team Arcelago Land Base" Yes! Flo was actually happy she would get to do something herself. Robbing? Wasn't the best thing but definitely was a step up. "I wont go into strenuous detail but it will be the biggest structure in the entire province of Kanto/Johto. It will cover an entire Island and extend to the ocean floor. Now with a bigger base comes bigger jobs and responsibilities and this would mean that a certain head grunt position would now command and entire sector of the new base and would ensure its smooth running of day to day operations and all training etc of grunts"

Flo looked like she could be drooling now... Grunts at her control?! Yes this is exactly what she wanted. "Now if you head back down towards the aircraft hangar you will see a large door labled "STOCK", enter this door and you will find all the weapons, vehicles etc that are available to TA. Take your pick of items making sure to only choose those that would be beneficial to the success of the mission. Now i suppose I should ask if you have any questions?"

"Can I get better Pokemon?" Flo asked sincerely if she was to rob these banks they might have guard dogs... Arcanine! Her weak Pokemon wouldn't stand a chance against those things.

 

[Tristan16]

"Can i get better Pokemon?" asked the grunt

Madame Scarlet considered for a moment

"Yes I suppose better Pokemon would be beneficial to the mission, yes of course you" she decided "On your way towards the stock room you will pass a door labled "POKE'LABS", go in there and give this note to one of the scientists inside" she scribbled a note of permission and signed it "They will then show you to where we store all our spare pokemon we generally like to have at least 200 pokemon available to us at all times so you should find some that are more than suitable" she continued "Oh and there will be a small airship with a 15 seating capacity waiting for you in the hangar take whatever grunts you see fit, you may leave now" and she motioned the girl out the door.

Scarlet parted her throne and went back into her dressing room to change into her normal attire

"Oh god it feels good to be out of that god awful dress, now lets see if the place hasnt fallen apart during my short time away" she walked into her office to discover a large pile of papers on her desk "Bloody Hell!" she cursed loudly "I am so sick of paper work" she rummaged through the pile to see if there was anything important, she fished out a progress report that was from Commander Susonowo, it mostly contained boring useless information but then he had listed companies and properties that were up for sale that Team Arcelago could invest in

"Hmmm lets see" she pondered "New Bark Hobby Centre? no I dont think so, its far to small and wont bring in a large enough income" she dismissed "A Sharpedo Plantation? maybe altho I detest those wretched creatures, far to vicious" she spat "Saffron Stadium? yes that will do nicely, its big, sees lots of events which make for large income, yes that where we shall strike next" she finished.

She held down the intercom button "Olga, please send a message to Commander Susanowo telling him to buyout the Saffron Stadium and also tell him to try again at buying that Ramen Company, its one of the biggest companies in the Kanto/Johto province, tell him do whatever it takes, kill the owners, burn down their factories, just tell him I want it in Team Arcelagos posession" she finished and waited for a reply

"As you wish My Lady" came Olgas response "Oh also, I have a message from one of Susanowos grunts stating that Susanowo has gone to train in the tohjo falls" she finished

"I suppose thats alright but tell him im coming for an inspection very shortly" Scarlet responded

"Of course My Lady" came Olgas response and the conversation ended

After a few moments a call came through from the Captain

"My Lady, we have received word from an informant at the ruins that they have captured a potentially beneficial hostage, and they are requesting to bring him aboard" he finished

"I knew I hadnt heard an explosion yet!" Scarlet responded "Fine! tell them we'll send a dropship shortly!"

"As you wish My Lady" came the captains repsonse

Scarlet sighed "Im not getting into that dress again anytime soon, we'll just have to conduct this interrogation in darkness" she stated

 

[Ethan Gold]

A grunt with a sheet of messages from Madame Scarlet walked out of the airship. He didn't get to read the message written as the operator of the communicator told him to give the message to the commander as there are new orders from Madame Scarlet.

The grunt walked into the entrance of the Tohjo Falls. He looked around of a while to find his commander but he eventually found him standing still in front of the waterfall. He tried to call him but the sound of the waterfall prevented him from hearing. The grunt then threw a pebble to notify him.

Susanowo finally noticed the grunt after the sound of the pebble skimming to his direction reached his ears. He then started to swim towards the bank as he was finished anyway. He reached the bank and climbed up to talk to the grunt.

"Beg your forgiveness Commander," The grunt said. "We got messages from Madame Scarlet."
"Alright then." Susanowo replied. "Read them out for me outside please. This place is too noisy."

The commander and the grunt walked outside of the cave. "Now, please carry on."
"First, Madame Scarlet wants us to buy Saffron Dome." The grunt read. "Second, she wants us to try and buy out Vermillion Ramen again despite our grunts getting mortally wounded and the rumour of a demonic owner."
"Stop here." Susanowo interrupted. "You should not place your opinion when reading things out grunt. Carry on"
The grunt took a big breath before reading the last news. "Madame Scarlet will be heading this way for an inspection."

Susanowo thought for a second. Perhaps she might throw a tantrum as usual to every commander in the organization when things don't go her way. Also, it was too early to run Operation Meteor.

Espire
Island between Kanto and Johto​

Espire awoke to the warm sand beneath him and the bright sun above him. Espire rose up from the ground and looked around at the Island. He saw a Golf Cart like contraption heading towards him, which he thought was odd. The Golf Cart stopped ad two Team Arcelago grunts stepped out of eh Cart and walked towards Espire.
" This is Team Arcelago property. You are not to be here," the Grunt announced.
" Yea, don't come around here," the other grunt sneered. The grunts grabbed Espire, tied him up and put him in the backseat of the Cart.
" Bring me to Madame Scarlet," Espire shouted.
" Oh yes. great idea. I am sure Madame would love to deal with a Intruder such as yourself," the grunt chuckled.
" Ah, but I know what she wants to know," Espire retorted.
" What do you mean by that," the grunt asked.
" I have a few clues about the Cryptex," Espire replied. The grunts replied with silence. One grunt did something with the radio and started to speak into it
" Olga, tell Madame Scarlet that Unit 228-A has captured a Prisoner of high importance to her search for the Cryptex."
