[quote=@James Davy] "Understood, Sergeant," Donald acknowledged before departing back to his rehearsal area. "T-minus 13 m-m-m-m-minutes, mark!" Porygon-Z counted down. "The sergeant managed to call in some reinforcements to provide help with the grunt battalion," Donald informed his Pokémon, "All we need to do now is lay low and monitor their communications while Cyber-Klefki counts down to Cyber-Yveltal's launch. I hope they don't try any funny business with their server otherwise that time will halve." "There is a high probability of that happening," Beldum stated. "In the meantime, keep scanning for rogue elements both within and without," Donald ordered. "[i]Understood,[/i]" Espeon acknowledged. Donald fired up his phone and monitored communications between their base and battalion. [/quote] That was when Jeremy got Sandy to come over and then the two of them revved up the beat for "Stop Crying your heart out" [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZUsNJ-LQU[/url] Jeremy: *Singing; W/Sandy as supporting backup vocal* "Hold up Hold on Don't be scared You'll never change what's been and gone May your smile (may your smile) Shine on (shine on) Don't be scared (don't be scared) Your destiny may keep you warm 'Cause all of the stars Are fading away Just try not to worry You'll see them someday Take what you need And be on your way And stop crying your heart out Get up (get up) Come on (come on) Why're you scared? (I'm not scared) You'll never change What's been and gone 'Cause all of the stars Are fading away Just try not to worry You'll see them someday Take what you need And be on your way And stop crying your heart out 'Cause all of the stars Are fading away Just try not to worry You'll see them someday Just take what you need And be on your way And stop crying your heart out We're all of us stars We're fading away Just try not to worry You'll see us someday Just take what you need And be on your way And stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out Stop crying your heart out" The Crowd paused and were in shock. However it didn't take them very much to suddenly erupt with satisfaction. Jeremy then bowed out and had it set up for another good #. Sandy: *Speaking to the crowd* Here's another wonderous # from the heart of passion and the one who's got no desire to hold back the feelings of attraction and Romance... Here's Passion Kiss. Jeremy then came walking out into view and Anistar joining with her guitar and within seconds... Anistar kicked it off with a beginning note to jam... Seconds later... The crowd started stomping their feet and got into it as Jeremy seconds later... got to singing... Jeremy: *Singing* "I've followed my heart into the fire Got burned, got broken down by desire I've tried, I've tried but the smoke in my eyes Left me blurry, blurry and blind I've picked all the pieces up off the ground I've burned all my fingers, but that's gone now Got the glue in my hands and stickin' to the plan Stickin' to the plan that says I can do anything at all I can do anything at all This is my kiss goodbye You can stand alone and watch me fly 'Cause nothing's keeping me down Gonna let it all up Come on and say right now, right now, right now This is my big hello 'Cause I'm here and never letting go I can finally see, it's not just a dream When you set it all free, all free, all free You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho Ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho I was a girl caught under your thumb But my stars gonna shine brighter than your sun And I will reach so high, shoot so far Gonna hit, gonna hit, hit every target Make it count this time I will make it count this time This is my kiss goodbye You can stand alone and watch me fly 'Cause nothing's keepin' me down I'm gonna let it all up Come on and say right now, right now, right now This is my big hello 'Cause I'm here and never letting go I can finally see, it's not just a dream When you set it all free, all free, all free You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) This is my kiss goodbye You can stand alone and watch me fly 'Cause nothing's keeping me down I'm gonna let it all out Come on and say right now, right now, right now This is my big hello 'Cause I'm here and never letting go I can finally see, it's not just a dream When you set it all free, all free, all free You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) You set it all free (ho-ho-ho-ho, ho-ho, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho) You set it all free You set it all free" The crowd applauded with excitement and whistled in glee... They were begging for more... Jeremy got to doing another #... [quote=@James Davy] "Illegal operation d-d-d-d-detected in Cyber-Klefki," Porygon-Z updated, "T-minus three m-m-m-m-minutes and 45 seconds, mark." "Shouldn't have done that, Team Aqua," Donald commented, listening to the concert. At that point, time ran out and Cyber-Yveltal uploaded disk images of all of Team Aqua's network to a remote server and zeroed out every bit of data across their server and terminals. "Operations c-c-c-c-complete," Porygon-Z stated. "That'll take you offline for a while, Team Aqua," Donald commented, "Have fun rebuilding." "We detour via various back roads?" Donald suggested, after listening in on their travel discussion, "The direct routes will likely have more battalions hiding out than on the back roads. We can find them if we scout ahead with any bird of prey Pokémon we have." [/quote] Jeremy thought about it for a moment and suddenly came up with a conclusion. Something that would benefit the entire team... Jeremy: I agree with Sgt. Lerner on the directions of where to start the rest of the Journey to Cleveland. But from there... i think that Donald's got a good point and a very good suggestion. Taking the back roads throughout the route leading to Cleveland. We can have our birds of prey or flying pokemon scanning ahead to see if there are any dangers that we ought to know about. Nicole: It'd be better that way. I got a Druddigon that can use dragon rage if need to and snuff out any Team Aqua members. That goes for Team Magma too. Pidgetta: *Looking to Officially see Donald* Uh... Okay, What gives with the crew cut dish? Is he traveling with us too? Jeremy: Of course... and he is also... related. Pidgetta: Related?! To who? The heartthrob trio? The Rockafellers? *catching Sandy shaking his head no* What's going on? Saphiroth: Aunt Pidgetta... There is something you're gonna need to know. Simisear: *Coming towards Pidgetta* Don't be doubting the idea of Donald being with us. He's a member of the family. Gurdurr: *Looking to Porygon* Hey Porygon... Think you can give the techno garb a rest a moment and fill the lady in about Donald? Pansage: *Giggling*... Something foretold that Pidgetta... Macie's Cousin and the Aunt to Jeremy, Lisa, Nicole and Saphiroth... was about to be in for a heck of a surprise. This was gonna be rather sweet. OR... Was it?
