As soon as Ace made it to the sub, she was taken aback by this. Was he really going to burn the town and kill people? But Archie was a serious man. Perhaps she underestimated Archie. He was an evil man. No. She can't view him as a human anymore. He was a monster. It was at that point where she had truly fear the true nature of the leader. Confined by fear and control.
She said nothing and closed her eyes. She knew that even if she rebelled, she'll end up like the people in the town. She couldn't risk that. She had to mind her own business and continued to think about her own goals. Those goals gave her a drive to live and prevent her from becoming insane.

Ginji's eyes widened at the girl and the flames leaping from her body. He gulped deeply and realized just how far the rabbit hole went. "Porygon, we have to report this to HQ STAT. Set up the server room for a video conference. And invite her." he ordered as the Pokemon disappeared into his Rocket 3DS. Taking a deep breath he composed himself and headed back to the submarine, obviously shaken.

Allen watched the scene in horror, even though his Pokemon leaped out to help, specifically Rodney, who used Rain Dance in order to attempt to allow the water to actually hit the fire. "I can't...." He felt a bit woozy, Roddy continued fighting, spitting Water Guns at the seemingly weaker flames, but to no avail, nothing helped. Allen sank down and grabbed Rodney, returning him to his Pokeball. There was nothing to be done...
His mind wondered back to the familiar girl. Who, no... what was she? He knew the answer was there, but he just couldn't remember her clearly enough.

Maddy looked at the hand stretched out for her, and followed it up the man's face. His face shone bright in her memory, but right now she was too upset to dwell on it.
"H-How can you stand there... and tell me it's not my fault?!"
Tears formed in her eyes.
"How can you say that?!"
Matthias just stood there in awe.
"I... I dunno what to do... I..."
Suddenly, more electricity erupt through her body.
Matthias leapt down into the submarine, ran up to Archie in the pilot's seat, and punched him in the face.
"She's done your bidding, now leave her alone!!"
The pain stopped once more, and the girl fainted. She slowly began to slip off the submarine and into the water.
Archie called out his Crawdaunt, which immediately pinned Matthias to the wall. Archie retaliated by punching Matthias in the face.
Matthias stared into Archie's eyes, his own eyes filled with a deep hatred for the man he once knew as boss. He hardly felt the other man's fist make contact with his face, but he felt some blood trickle down from his nose.
"If you don't like how I run things, then leave." Archie said in a low tone so only Matthias could hear.
He then turned his attention to the crew still up on top of the submarine.
"Everyone, back in the submarine. We're leaving this instant. And someone please grab that worthless girl."

Finn picks Maddy up and gets into the submarine. He sits down and keeps her on his lap, keeping her held up. He stares at her face intently. There was something about her that felt familiar... made his heart feel warm. He looks away and begins to think intently, letting his mind wander.

Entropy silently slipped back into the sub; she figured someone else would pull the girl back into the boat. What had she gotten herself into? She had aided in the destruction of a town. Where people lived. She held Hiccup tight, looking down at the ground with a burning hatred stirring in her eyes. She wanted nothing more than to kill Archie, but she needed this. Maybe she would learn to be bad; this would all be ok, someday. She did not say a word as everyone entered the submarine, her usually chipper attitude replaced by a dark brooding.

Ren and Kasumi despised what they had witnessed, but they were powerless to do anything, as long as Archie controlled Maddy. They boarded the submarine, acting completely natural. They had plenty of experience hiding their try feelings when they were imprisoned by Team Dim Sun for most of their lives, and they drew on that experience now

Allen shuffled back into the sub, feeling a bit numb, not caring about the restrained space, or even that he'd helped with the destruction of the village. But so many lives... He should have been out there helping rescue people from that burning disaster, however fear held him in place. Were it anyone but Archie, he would have gone, but that man was mad. He sat back in a seat, laying his head against the cold metal wall, concentrating on the low hum vibrating throughout the vessel until they arrived back at HQ.

Ace had stood silently along with the quiet atmosphere. No one wanted to talk, or cheer, or anything for that matter. There was really nothing to cheer, but to live in fear. Oh how she wanted to get out of reality. She decided to take a small rest and close her eyes. She would not let this get into her head; not even think about what happened. If she did, then she would've quit sooner or later.

Already back at HQ, Ginji put the final touches on the video conference call. Porygon and he stood in the middle of the room facing two very bright LCD screens. The first showed the shadow of a very tall man, presumably the Rocket Boss. The second showed the shadow of a girl with pigtails and a quite fiery personality.
"We have a problem." Ginji said blandly as he reached down and touched Porygon's nose, the footage of Maddy burning down Pacifilog Town showing on the LCD screens on the other end. "The girl is a danger to our claim to power."
In a booming voice, the man replied curtly, "She still has a ways to grow before she is ready for us."
The girl giggled, "Assuming you can control her. Though it looks like the spy has taken an interest too." her lips parting in an unnatural curl as she noticed the ending of the video. "This is an interesting development. Perhaps this is how he intends to help the other side." musing with malice.
"Yes. An interesting development indeed. Given this information, I'm changing both of your standing orders." the man mulled over in a gruff tone, he seemed like his vocal cords had grown a beard and was scratching the inside of his throat. "Neither of you are to interfere with the relationship of this girl and the spy. Continue observing, but now offer your expertise. Prepare them for war, because clouds are gathering on each side and they'll be meeting soon. Also, I would prepare your own team. It won't be long now until you meet again."
"Sir yes sir." the girl and Ginji replied as all the screens went black, leaving the boy in the darkness.

Eventually the sub left the burning wreak of a town and made it's way back to Aqua's base. Before leaving the sub, Archie turned to address his crew.
"Good work out there, everyone. I'll return soon with yet another task."
He looked at Matthias.
"You better hope you have that engine part installed by then." He threatened.
Archie recalled his Crawdaunt, releasing Matthias from the wall, and left. He whistled a cheerful tune as he disappeared to wherever he usually disappears to.
Matthias just slowly slid down the wall to the floor, remaining silent. He glanced over, glad to see Maddy was safe. He no longer blamed the girl for anything, and he no longer hated her. Archie had to be stopped in one way or another. There was no way Matthias could convince himself otherwise of that.
Maddy was still unconscious. She didn't look harmed in any way, but clearly damage was dealt somewhere.
After a few moments, Matthias stood up.
"E-Everyone is dismissed..." He told them all. "I have no words to describe what just happened. D-Don't question me on it right now..."
He gulped loudly and turned to Fin.
"M-Maddy's room is on the same floor as everyone else's room... It's the furthest room down the hall on the left... Please take her there for me..."
With that, Matthias stormed off, heading to the labs. He needed to formulate a plan.

When they arrived back at the base, Entropy did not utter a sound when Archie spoke. After he and Matthias had both addressed them, she simply held Hiccup in her arms and walked to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.

"Yeah, no problem." Finn responds to Matthias, happy the silence was broken. He looks down at Maddy, still bothered by the small emotions she invokes in him. Her powers did not surprise him, even though no human could ever do such a thing.
"It's all downhill from here," he says outloud, but to no one particular. He lifts Maddy onto his back and leaves the sub. He then makes his way to her room.

Ren and Kasumi left the submarine and went straight to Kasumi's room, where they turned off their TADS and left them there, and went to Rens room next door. Ren swept the room for any surveillance devices or listening devices, and only when he was sure there were none did they start to quietly talk about what had happened.

Allen climbed out of the sub, shuffling down the hallway to the medical ward, his thoughts in a panic. Now he couldn't take one toe out of line else he'd be gone. His eyes widened and he stopped mid step. "No...." He muttered, that wouldn't happen.. On his way into the ward the only nurse on staff at this time greeted him, and took his pokemon to heal them. The Grunt sighed, letting his mind clear for a while.
