"I understand. I apologize if  I may have raised my voice to you, sir." 

Arc bowed in a manner as if he was currently behind a few centuries on how one would properly speak to their higher-ups. The way OZone's most loyal admin spoke to him didn't bother him because he had a storm of thoughts and choices that all needed his attention this second. 

"Don't even sweat the little things," OZone pulled several files from a folder before dismissing Arc from his office. "We'll pick up the next part of the plan once... I get everything together. Just... keep our discussion private." 

Arc nodded, swearing to keep his word with a serious expression in his eye. He turned his head until the corner of his eye could glance at the window. 

"Consider our conversation private, OZone. I know the answer to our situation will shine down upon us in due time. If I may, I will be taking my leave now." 

The man turned around and opened the door, checking the left and the right wings to make sure no one nearby was eavesdropping before properly walking away to continue his responsibilities. OZone groaned to himself, as much as Arc was among one of his best employees and never questions his commands, he was always on the edge about the younger admins believing they were running amock all over Cosmo Corps. Although he didn't 'hate' Arc for who he was, he liked him, Daichi, Rōzu, Molly, and the rest of the admins. They are indeed an odd bunch, not who you may expect as a team for a company, but good people nonetheless... to a degree. 

"Just how," OZone muttered to himself, caught between a rock and a hard place to recreate the power surge that connected to the world from afar. He certainly didn't have the machinery needed to boost the strength of the ID3D to the degree to create an Ultra Wormhole strong enough to reach as far as needed to find Cyrus, and even if he did, would the level of energy even match the power surge?  He just didn't know what to do. "How could I recreate the power surge?.."

OZone felt like slamming his fist on his desk to shed some frustration off, but he remained right in his seat, exhaling through his nose rather than violence. What he needed were some upgrades, such as the highest quality possible and a lot of additional parts if he wants any hope to reach the far depths of the space like before. However, he certainly didn't have the funds for such expensive assets. Despite the overbearing doubts that even sprawled in his mind, he couldn't just drop the ball after all of his and his employee's hard work. So he sat in his office for a while longer before stepping off to clear his frying brain. He simply looked around to take his mind off of his next move for a second before looking at a map of the Alola Region that was set up on the wall. 

"Wait," OZone paused, studying a closer look upon the regional map, although his attention isn't on any of the four giant islands printed. His eyes zoomed in to the east of Akala and Ula'Ula, several small islands linked to one another had his mind properly moving again. "Hold on just a second..." 

He shuffled his papers back into the folder and quickly turned on his computer for what was known as at least a half-hour of intense research of those specific islands. He was right. Those islands to the far east weren't just any uninhabited islands, it was land used for a top-secret laboratory. OZone questioned if the island was used for research or not, but words among his lower-level employees and scientists say otherwise, Just what could they be experimenting on, and what could they possibly be using to help them do so? A little bit more research on the island on the far east of Alola followed by a documentary on "The Unnamed Island" was all it took. The only question on OZone's mind was, "Do I even comply with this?..."

***

Only one day passed by before OZone gathered a 'mandatory' meeting right at the beginning of the day. Mitsuki and Serenity might've been a little unsure what to expect from a gathering where OZone added the word mandatory right next to the meeting. Tony was vibing, more or less ready. While Daichi and Rōzu chatted among themselves on what OZone needed to urgently discuss, while Molly looked like she could just explode just by sitting in the way she could barely hold still as if she could've predicted what the meeting was about. Buzz continued to scribble down notes about his latest research on Bug Pokémon while Cyrus constantly shoved his quacking Ducklett away from him as he tried to patiently wait for the meeting to begin. Belle also waited around for OZone to show up, along with Arc, who was glad that the boss finally made up a decision and gathered the others to go over the details. 

"Thank you, everyone. I have some major news and... some very important plans to go over." 

OZone said As everyone nodded before he approached the front of the meeting room. Through the sound of his voice and how unsure he felt, OZone tried to swallow his doubts and regrets and stood straight before taking in a deep breath and a sigh. 

"Now, to say we've been through a lot would be an understatement. We traveled to the far reaches of space and discovered life outside of our planet. It's a remarkable act of science... However, as you're all aware, research is not currently our top priority..." 

OZone spots Molly, who remained still in her seat, almost looking like she needs to excuse herself, but quickly looks away from her alone before Arc could mistake the girl for distracting him in some way. 

"We have caught ten different species of extraterrestrial known as Ultra Beasts... Impressive, but not enough." 

He continued to push himself toward the mission itself rather than leading up to the details himself, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He was afraid to admit what he needed from his workers. Deep down, he knew they were going to jump towards the details of the next mission but still didn't feel stable at all. 

"To reach even farther than where we currently traveled, the ID3D needs a boost, as powerful as the day of the power surge... I know where we could get the equipment needed to power our machinery. The Unnamed Island."

OZone closed his eyes and took a deep breath through his nose, once letting it go, he was met with a roomful of confused looks and head-turning towards one another in curiosity on 'the Unnamed Island'. 

"Uhh, OZone. What is this island you're talking about with no name or is it called Unnamed Island?" 

Daichi was the first to ask among the group, before the only one who had an idea spoke up, which turns out to be Buzz. 

"I believe I've heard of this island before believe it or not everyone." 

The scrawny man stands up from his seat so he could fill the rest of the group in, which seemed like a great move for OZone, so he could continue embracing what he needed to ask. 

"You see everyone, The Unnamed Island is a small area between Akala and Ula'Ula used for top-secret research, studies, and experimentation that the public isn't ready for." 

Buzz sat back down and sighed, wanting the chance to visit himself, but quickly shrugged the thought aside for what OZone needed to finish. As much as he Buzz to resume, he couldn't ask him directly without raising any eyebrows, only for Rōzu to ask something on his mind about these oh-so-secret experiments they were conducting in private. 

"A laboratory, huh? Well, what kind of things are they so concerned with that they have to keep to themselves?" 

So he ended up listing several possible experiments they could be working on, but OZone had to reel the topic back onto the details of the mission, as he still needed to discuss with the group. 

"Th-thank you, Buzz. Looks like I don't need to explain what the laboratory is, just our next course of action. Now then..."

He paused in between sentences, now really showing the regret of his dilemma. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the forming sweat above his head, the cool collected face he usually maintains in front of the admins began to wear off, which wasn't a good sign. Now the others started to question what exactly was going on. 

"Umm, sir?... You seem to be sweating drastically. Would you like me to get you-" 

Mitsuki tilted her head, concerned whether or not OZone may have been feeling under the weather or not. She was about to ask if she would like to get a bottle of water for him but was cut off by Arc. 

"Take your time, Sir. I'm sure your plan to advance our position will be nothing more than a brilliant one." 

He said while patting OZone on the back, hoping to comfort him into sharing, which ended up with everyone asking the man about the mission and wondering if he was feeling well or dehydrated. It certainly wasn't making OZone feel any better to be bombarded with kind concern for him with what he had in store for the group, but that one person among the other admins had a rather blunt shot of OZone's attention like a Water Gun. 

"Just tell us what you want us to do. Why are you holding the mission from us like this?" 

Cyrus blatantly asked, almost feeling like a slap to the face to snap him out of the sinking state of his mind. One more deep breath later, he stood back into his normal position and spoke what was on his troublesome mind. The truth, no more sugarcoating, no beating around the bush this time. 

"... I need you all to accompany me into retrieving a list of technology and gear from the Unnamed Island." 

At first, a slight weight has been lifted from OZone's shoulders, finally sharing the main objective of the mission with his admins, but as soon as he looks up, he was lost within a room full of mixed faces and reactions. 

"Woah, woah, woah... So let me get this straight- are you seriously suggesting that we help you... steal this stuff from that island?!" 

Daichi said, nearly standing up from his seat when he heard OZone's details, Rōzu had the same reaction as him, Molly, Mitsuki, and Serenity, as they wanted no part in thievery. 

"Wait, are gonna steal from that place?! OZone! You can't be serious!" 

Rōzu blurts out, bad thoughts already clouding his mind of the mission going wrong, so he didn't take OZone's proposal or mission details well at all. Mitsuki lowered her head, processing if the same man she knew and trusted could be the one responsible for formulating such an immoral plan. She was accompanied by Belle, who rubbed her back with her concern about this plan. 

"Sir, you can't be serious... I-No... There has to be some sort of joke to this... I-I just can't-" 

Even Tony was unsure of this plan, Similarly to Belle, who was no stranger to major trouble. 

"Ehh, yeah. For once, from the bottom of my heart, I agree with Belle. I know I can be a bit... "out there" but I don't know if I want to be known as a thief here and a... never mind I said that last part-."

Serenity simply didn't replay or retaliate anything, she was just as silent as Mitsuki, although she had something running in her mind, not wanting to speak while the others were speaking out of their disapproval of the plan. Hearing all of this made OZone tilt his head down in shame, taking in the consequences that came with such a mind-numbing plan until he and the rest of the room jumped due to a fist violently slamming on the table. It was Arc who caused the sudden move, he huffed towards the kids as he stepped right next to OZone, standing with him knowing that he was fine with his plan, as much as a surprise that came out to be or not. 

"ENOUGH! Can you not see that OZone doesn't wish to hear your comments on his plan? Have you possibly forgotten why he considered this plan in the first place?" 

Molly stood up from her seat, surprised even someone like Arc would be considered theft acceptable in this situation. 

"Arc! Can you even hear yourself?! We can't steal because we're not crooks! We could get in a lot of trouble if this doesn't work out!" 

As much as he wanted to scold the girl so badly, he restricted himself for OZone, since it wasn't the time for him to blow up like he usually does. The room was completely silent before Arc spoke up again. 

"Look. You all seem to forget that we already have an edge like no other. We won't be caught along with the power of our Ultra Beasts we have studied for a while now. Those islanders won't know what hit them when we show them what we're capable of," Arc turns to OZone with a trusting position and nods. "Consider me included, sir. I won't let you down."

For a long while, Arc's unmatched loyalty has come to please OZone this time, rather than serving as another reminder like usual. It was refreshing that even Arc wouldn't turn him down in his time of need, so he cleared his through once Arc declared his stand on the matter.

"Thank you, Arc. I know it is an insane request to ask of you. But we're so close to our goal that I can't just drop everything and run away... Please, I need your support in my biggest hour of need." 

Everyone remained silent before Belle sighed before standing up herself to the young boy's legit surprise, but Arc had a feeling she would volunteer as well.

"... I'll go too. I don't like this plan as much as any of you, but for the sake of our goal..." 

Belle said, Rōzu standing up as he didn't approve of her decision, but Arc grinned, glad that he wasn't the only loyal admin among the group. 

"I figured you'd choose to stay, Belle. I am very pleased to see you made a good choice."

At this point, she couldn't care less of what he thought but complied on her terms. Not even a minute after Belle stood up, Serenity also joins her for personal reasons. 

"Please count me in as well. You saved my life in my darkest hour, sir, and I want to repay you the best way I can." 

Next up, Buzz slowly raised his hand before standing up nervously. 

"Hehe... I don't like the stealing part, but if this is an opportunity to take note on the Unnamed Island... then I suppose I could overlook the jarring details this one time..." 

Seeing the admins flipping their decisions one by one, Tony eventually stood up with his doubts still lingering on him. 

"I mean, Arc has a point with our UBs being a major game changer and all. That plan of the boss just needs to be well oriented."

He said while smiling grinning enough trust in his boss for the best of success. 

"I trust him and the rest of you too, I'm in."

Unlike everyone else, Tony sat back in his seat without knowing everyone around him remained on their feet. He chuckled nervously as he returned back up, so there was a bit of an awkward laugh to go around the room. The only ones who didn't bother standing up was the young admins among the group and Cypher, who was down with the plan regardless of the objective, as long as he was getting paid well for his effort. 

"I'm fine with the mission, as long as we're getting paid well for this." 

Cypher's response scrounged Rōzu's face in major disbelief, still not convinced to drop everything and go into thievery. Daichi alongside his friend wondered how could he think of his next paycheck while discussing plans to break into a laboratory on an island. The well-toned man's response was blunt, in which the kids should've seen coming. 

"So I can pay for rent, Rōzu. I really didn't think I need to tell why I asked about a possible bonus." 

If there was someone who wasn't convinced through money alongside the boys, it was Molly. She remained in her seat rattling in her seat with her hands gripping her seat pretty tightly, wondering if she will crack herself and join out of pressure or not. As much as Arc believed that they would be better off without her, Serenity sat right next to her to help her ease off of her stressful thoughts. 

"Hey, hey, hey. It's okay, Molly, really." She manages to calm the young girl down by peacefully stroking her hair and speaking with her voice as soft as silk, which really did help Molly in the long run. "No one is forcing you to go, but there is a decision to be made, you may choose to accept the invitation with the rest of us, or you may choose to sit this one out."

Serenity explained, which Molly took the opportunity to think of her decision thoroughly. At first, she wanted to turn tail immediately, but she also didn't want to leave the others to do all the work, despite the mission at hand. She was silent for a long time before she looked up to the woman with a question on her mind. 

"You don't suppose... If I were to accept... then maybe we can stay close by each other?" 

A smile rose upon the woman's face, as she held her hand with the most promising reassurance. 

"Of course! I'll do my best to make sure nothing happens to you or anyone else."

At last, Molly accepted as long as she would be partnered with someone as endearing and kind as Serenity. An even bigger surprise is that Mitsuki suddenly stood up from her seat as well, now that everyone else was volunteering to go. That caught even OZone a bit off guard, thinking that she would request to stay back on Ula'Ula if given the choice or not.

"If... if everyone else is going... then I want to come too. E-even if Daichi and Rōzu would like to stay then I'll make sure to do my best in their place."

Suddenly, all eyes darted on the two boys sitting down, which makes Mitsuki apologize rapidly for shifting the attention at them, which didn't really help if the two were being honest. 

"Well-I... umm...

Daichi nearly choked on his words, unable to think before he could speak with so many pairs of eyes focused on him, and Rōzu was just as silent. He was originally going to stay back and not include himself in such a dangerous mission alongside his friend. Before he could speak about what he was planning, Daichi ends up standing up as well. 

"I-I'll join as well! If everyone at this point chooses to go, then I will too," Suddenly, even the boy he knew was standing in front of him, anticipating Rōzu's decision because it wasn't just his best friend, but the last admin who needed to be convinced. "Rōzu, I know you think this is a crazy idea of what we're getting into, but hear me out-."

Unfortunately, before Daichi could even respond, Rōzu ended up standing on his own, asking what in the world had convinced him to join the mission, in which the anxious boy between the two slowly looks to the side, to where Mitsuki was at, then to Belle, last at Molly and scratched his head.

"Daichi... Do you really even want to be a part of what could be known as a serious crime?" 

Rōzu couldn't help but ask right after his friend ignored his first question, but shook his head while holding his anxiety in. 

"No, I don't... Thing is, Belle, Molly, and even Mitsuki have accepted the mission... And... I don't know if I could even live down the fact if they were to get caught or anything while I stood back and did absolutely nothing. The more help we can get... the better." 

His response wasn't expecting to hit Rōzu right on the marks in his mind, which made him sigh, now feeling guilty with his friend's response now in his head. 

"Damn it... You're right... Fine. I'll go, only because you and everyone else are. The more backup... the better I guess. 

Now that all the admins have agreed upon each other to go on the mission, OZone truly felt like two big weights have been lifted off his shoulders, now to think clearly to provide the plan in detail before the date of the mission. Once dismissing everyone, he walked down the hallways to his office in a much better mood than before, glad that all of his ten admins were willing to partake in the mission with their own reason and objectives even if they disliked it or not. What was all that was left to worry about was the mission itself, scheduled to take place at the very end of the month, which approached in no time flat. 

***

At last. After two months of intense analysis, plotting, training, and hardcore anticipation, the end of the month were finally upon the group. It was time to breach the walls of the laboratory on the Unnamed Island and to steal their highly advanced resources. OZone felt a tremendous wave of anticipation and a slight nervousness as the day went by to a quick end. The admins however felt even more worried compared to the boss, along with a dose of anxiousness. The only one who was the least worried was Arc, having nothing to fear alongside OZone and his Ultra Beast Gluttony. By the time the sky above darkened, it was time for the admins to board a ship, accompanied by the boss himself along with an employee who was operating the vehicle.

"Welcome, everyone. I'm glad you all managed to meet me right on time. If we are to take advantage of the night then we are to depart immediately."

 All but one of the members climbed aboard and sailed out into the dark sea, anywhere to be seen. OZone remained in an overly cool state, watching the sea like he's been sailing around the world his whole life, unscathed by constant bumping of transportation by the ship. He didn't speak for the next 10 minutes, kind of creeping the others out, like he was leading them to the middle of the ocean for something... sickenly fishy. Once he did, the others paid attention carefully as OZone was about to revise the plan last time.

"So, I'm sure you're all aware that Tony isn't aboard on the ride since he and UB-Blaster are above in the sky before our mission could commence. When I give him the signal, he will distract outside security without any issue. Then Arc, Cypher, Daichi, and Rōzu will join as reinforcements and compress them to a further state. Once all attention is focused on them, Serenity, Belle, Mitsuki, Buzz, Molly, and I will infiltrate from the back entrance. From there, swiping what we need will only take us one try." 

Once more glance at the dark sea, OZone took a major deep breath before inhaling. He turned back to his crew, with a stance that marked him as the leader, his Pikachu right on his shoulder wanting nothing more than to kick ass and make its master proud. Some of the admins felt the same more or else, and the island soon approached them, seeing how big of an area to sneak into even in the muggy fog, but it didn't startle OZone in the slight.

"Now tell me, are you ready to begin now? It's time we enter a state of hell." 

All the admins nod, it all was leading to the beginning of the mission, OZone contacted Tony using a special communication device that reached where Tony sat even in the sky, informing him to start the mission. 

"Tony. It's time." 

"On it, OZone. You and the rest are in for a show!" 

High in the sky, Tony ordered UB-Blaster to Use Flash Cannon towards ground level, but instead of blasting the island down below, it targeted the water itself, causing a major splash that crashed on the lower level of the island, certainly causing a disturbance and a shock from an unexpected beam coming from the cloudy sky above. Thankfully the ship wasn't in range of Tony's purposely miscalculated attack, so none of the admins or OZone were in any sort of harm. 

"Part one is complete, the next step is nearly ready to begin. Outside Team, are you ready?" 

OZone turned his head back to the five who were going to assist Tony to distract the guards. Arc nodded his head without a second thought, Daichi and Rōzu anxiously nodded last, while Cypher didn't really respond, to say the least. When the boat started heading towards the island, music coming from a powerful speaker up above playing, which suddenly been alarmed by sirens, more and more guards with their Pokémon soon emerged on one side of the island, suddenly, UB-Blaster slowly descended from the dark clouds from above, crying a gentle but ominous sound. Tony then followed his Ultra Beast's tune with his own, creating a bizarre mix of music of Kalos jazz and a war cry. Suddenly projectile attacks were launched to take down this mothership of a monstrosity, but even with the combined efforts of at least twenty to thirty guards, none of the attacks mattered with UB-Blaster blocking them all at once with a Protect. 

"Alright, boys, let's show these weaklings what we've been preparing for!" 

Arc shouted before charging forward to assist Tony on the ground, while joined by the other three once they managed to dock on the nearest port without being caught. Thankfully with the night setting with the bonus of nasty fog, no one batted an eye on the boat and quickly left to find the side entrance towards within. With a horrible roar from UB-Gluttony alongside the backup of Lightning, Assembly, and Burst, the guards were no match for the overwhelming might of the combined force of an unknown force. 

"We are approaching the back of the island, where the door we will be taking is only a distance away, are we ready to proceed?" 

The rest of the group, being Belle, Mitsuki, Serenity, Buzz, and Molly all nodded, a bit shaken up after seeing the poor security being crushed hopelessly crushed like a Grubbin being crushed by a landslide from a Gigalith. Once the boat docked in a place on the shore, the rest of the team hopped off and stormed towards the gate OZone lead them in no time flat. Two guards were in front of the entrance, prepared for battle once the alarms all over the islands were activated. 

"Stop right where you are!"

One of the guards ordered, making the group stop in place, the other one took a step closer and held his Pokéball in his hand, ready to go if he absolutely had to. 

"We don't know what you crooks are up to, but if you just call off your attack by your comrades, then we won't be forced to stop you by all means necessary."

Unfortunately, OZone was taking none of the warnings the two puny guards who dare stood in his way seriously, instead, he shook his head as he took a step back. 

"Is that so? Well, I'm sorry, but our goals are beyond are simply beyond your understanding. If you don't move in the next five seconds, then we will be forced to 'stop you by all means necessary.'" 

The man mocked the two who stood their ground, which they didn't take. The left guard sent out Exeggutor and the other sent out Arcanine, which seem like fine choices at first sight, but no one on OZone side flinched with the exception of Molly, which was ironic with Arcanine having the ability to Intimidate. Suddenly, the scrawny scientist stepped right in front of the guards, peacefully waving at the two before taking out his Beast Ball. 

"Greetings, gentlemen! Let me start by saying it is certainly an honor to be on the unnamed island! I've been wanting to visit here for a long time just to see what the scientists inside have been studying! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you want us to be here, what a shame... For you." 

Sending out UB-Absorption, the giant muscular insect flexed its massive muscles against its opponent, both guards taking a step back at the shocking sight of an undiscovered beast.

"What... What in Arceus's name is that?!" 

OZone smirked, glad that the line of defense between him and the inside of the building was just the two guards that stood in his way who seem intimidated themselves. Buzz responded to their question unaware if it was a rhetorical question or not before calling a move with his Ultra Beast. 

"A miracle act of science, my friend! Absorption, Mega Punch!"

Coating its fist in glowing white energy, the red muscular insect flew towards the Arcanine and strikes with an insanely powerful fist, and knocks it out in one hit, right into its owner. 

"Ohohoh! That's not all! You see, whenever Absorption knocks out an enemy, it grows stronger after each knockout! Prepare yourself, Superpower!"

Now coating itself in a blood-red aura, Absorption flew and tackled Exeggutor right into its owner just like before and burst through the sealed entrance like paper mache. Buzz quivered with joy seeing his Ultra Beast effortlessly surpass ordinary Pokémon. Mitsuki was forced to look away, not pleased to see innocent lives get squashed like peas, not that they were dead or anything, but Serenity held her close in case she needed to block out the intense action. Buzz returned his beast back into its Pokéball, everyone managing to enter with the entrance now breached and stormed down the hall into a hallway with three directions to go to. 

"OZone, everyone! Wait!" 

Molly exclaimed while pulling out a piece of paper that was folded up in her pocket. She took a quick glance before pointing at the left-wing. 

"That path will lead us to a bunch of inside security, so I don't suggest we stir up any more trouble than we currently have. The right path may lead us to the laboratory, but the center hallway has an elevator we can take to lead us down to our spot!" 

She said while cramming her paper back into her pocket, while the other four admins look downwards at her in awe for bringing what must've been a labeled map with all of the possible dead ends, traps, and shortcuts to their destination. 

"Molly, I wasn't expecting you to keep a hands-on map like that. I give you props for it." 

Belle tilted her head with a slight grin, while Mitsuki and Serenity both smile at her for being well prepared for the mission. The boss himself was even a tad surprised, already having the directions needed to go, but taking an elevator would be just as good as his original plan. So he decided to let Molly take the lead with the map she had prepared for the mission.

"Oh, looks I don't need to take the lead anymore, Molly. I'll leave the directions up to you, leave the security to us, we'll make sure they won't be any trouble to you." 

Molly had a smile so big, it may have rivaled that of both Mitsuki and Serenity hearing that OZone trusted the directions to her, so she took the lead, leading to the elevator that was blocked by another pair of guards, one with a Toucannon and the other owning a Mamoswine. There wasn't any time chor chitchat, the guards sprung their moves to stop the group right in their tracks. 

"Toucannon, Bullet Seed!"

"Mamoswine, Icicle Spear!"

OZone grabbed Molly before it was too late, ordering his Pikachu to defend him as Belle joined the double battle, sending out UB-Beauty. 

"All right, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" 

"Beauty, Bug Buzz!" 

All the moves collided in a massive explosion, the smoke in the air began to subside, but Pikachu leaped in the air targeting Toucannon for a surprise attack. 

"Show them your electrical might, Pikachu! Thunder Punch!" 

Coating its paw in a surge of electricity, Pikachu lands a massive blow on right into the large bird, but UB-Beauty was twice as fast, already charging at Mamoswine for its next attack. 

"Nice! Now Triple Kick!"

The Ice and Ground-type Pokémon was struck with two lightning-fast kicks before it was down for the count, the third and final blow was for the guards themselves, which definitely knocked them out clean. There was no time to waste, Belle returned her Ultra Beast back into its Beast Ball, Molly entered the floor where the advanced machinery lies and was heading below ground level before they knew it. 

"Is everyone alright?" 

Buzz asked, catching his breath from an insanely fast battle to which everyone nods. 

"Thankfully, yes. It isn't long before we're down to the secret laboratory." 

Molly checked her map, to which Buzz quivers with anticipation hearing they were near their destination. Mitsuki lightly giggled, as OZone smiled, very glad that everything is going according to plan, hoping Arc and the rest of the guys are okay. Once the elevator reached the laboratory, the main entrance was locked by a big metal door, voices from inside the lab called to the group, preventing them from entry. 

"Turn back, you thieves! You won't be getting any of our property! We've blocked you from the entrance so don't bother trying to break through!" 

OZone shook his head left to right as he took a step back, Serenity took out her Beast Ball and sent out UB-Blade. She simply pointed towards the steel gate and informed her Ultra Beast that it needs to be brought down. There wasn't any need to call an attack, its razor-sharp limbs were all that it took and cut through the door like warm butter. The busted wall came crashing down, The scientists inside all panicked into the corner, afraid they were going to be chopped into ribbons by UB-Blade. Instead of breathing their last, they saw Serenity return the beast back into its ball and were approached by OZone and his team. 

"Get out of the corner, you're not a school of Wishiwashi, so stop acting like it. We aren't here to cause anyone harm or any senseless carnage. We're here to take your advanced technology for our own occupation. If you were wise, you wouldn't try to stop us."

OZone warned the scientists to give up but after a minute of witnessing a 'Pokémon' or whatever the tiny thing was that could cut through a dense alloy effortlessly, they chose not to give in. 

"N-no! We refuse to give up anything! Our progress, our success, you think we would throw that all down the drain?! D-do you worst! reinforcements will be here any minute to stop you!" 

Big mistake. Those two words that ran across OZone's head, face-palming that these guys refused to give in willingly, just like with Serenity, he took on a step back, as Mitsuki takes in the spotlight. She looked down at the scientists with a rather familiar look, almost in pity. 

"So... You chose to stand against what you've been working so hard for? I understand, but I'm afraid I need to ask you to reconsider your decision and values." 

She sent out UB-Symbiote, which seemed to be floating in the air similarly to a Frillish. Now the scientists were freaking out even more considering the haunting Ultra Beast dangles underneath. The others stood back, wanting to make sure Mitsuki was okay, not reliving any flashbacks when the beast stuck onto her, but the scariest thing that she wasn't. 

"Last warning. Or else Symbiot will feed off of you like when it tried to do with me. Being... caught inside is like drowning in a pool made of lead."

Now the scientists were squirming so bad, they didn't hear Mitsuki's warning, so in a deep breath she held, she didn't hesitate her next command. 

"Descend. It's feeding time." 

The floating beast began to lower itself slowly, a collection of screaming and pushing of the scientists wasn't making Mitsuki feel any better, now she was even caught on the choice if she should stop the madness herself, or let Symbiot force the scientists among themselves, just like OZone would want. Thankfully, it didn't come to the decision to feast, the scientists gave into their will, in which she returned the Ultra Beast back into its Beast Ball, a hand suddenly touches her shoulder, OZone and Pikachu giving her a thumbs up for not calling off Symbiot. 

"Magnificant work, Mitsuki. I couldn't be any more proud. Now then," OZone ordered his team and the scientists to disconnect everything he needed and packed them all up in a large cargo box that UB-Absorption lifted without any help. Now it was time to get the hell out of there, but before everyone returned to the elevator, Molly approached a large computer and poured a mysterious liquid, which caused the monitor and the machine to short circuit. 

"Can't catch us if your monitoring computer's out cold! Bye!"

She ran to the elevator which finally went up along with the rest of the group, which didn't take long to step on the outside of the island, turns out, all the guards were in one straight line along the mountainside, being watched by Arc and the other guys without their Ultra Beasts around. Finally, the two groups reunited and were ready to escape the island before any more trouble could run on. 

"The boats on the dock waiting for us, mission accomplished everyone! I couldn't be any more proud of you tonight." 

OZone exclaimed his appreciation to the ten admins before leading them down to the docks, but before everyone joined him, Arc turned back to all the guards who were still down on the ground and chuckled. 

"Don't bother trying to report us, you'll regret the day you do so."

With the final warning issued and climbing onto the boat, everyone was finally relieved after a long night of intense obstacles. Everyone was exhausted after such a long mission, but to OZone's treat, he gave the ten a couple of pay-days off and a party to celebrate their hard work, on him. 

***

The party took place at the bar of Tony's cousin's bar, which closed early for the reservation. The ten admins had the entire place to themselves and a major selection of bottles and drinks to along with the privacy. Tony being Tony nearly drank off his seat, Arc and OZone had a couple of shots, while, Serenity, Belle, and Mitsuki helped themselves to an expensive bottle of sake, Cypher and Buzz had a few draft beers, and Daichi, Rōzu, and Molly had a few sodas in the cooler, chatting about the mission. 

"Believe it or not, guys, but OZone entrusted me with the directions! ME! You've should've seen me lead the way! It was like I was the leader of the group! It was amazing!" 

Molly chugged down her cola before slamming it on the table like she was drunk, or hyped up from her previous cans. The boys were indeed happy that she managed to lead the admins to the laboratory and shut off their security monitor so they can't be tracked, but you couldn't tell by the faces they had. Molly tilted her head, wondering why were the boys so taken back by. 

"Is everything okay? You look like you've seen a Mimikyu under its cloth." 

Rōzu turned to his friend, who really wasn't into giving the details of what happened on the outside of the island as he continuously sipped his soda, so he spilled what happened instead. 

"Well... It's nothing really. I was just thinking about what happened a couple of days ago on the mission. The guards were no match for us, but Arc..." He said, looking behind him and OZone drinking some whiskey, turning back to the two. 

"He was acting like some psychotic prison warden, forcing the guards to line up, like they were about to be shot or something, saying all these grim things like those guards were soldiers in a battlefield caught by the enemy. Being a part of it didn't do anything good for me."

Both boys looked down, trying their best to live it through, but before Molly could speak up, Tony wandered with a stained shirt and a glass in his hand. 

"Hello, ladies! Can I offer up you a free signed copy of my latest album? MMM??? What's your name, huh??" 

Rōzu looked at Daichi confused before implying they were his co-workers and definitely NOT interested in the loopy man. 

"... Tony, it's me." 

The man leaned on his back to a table before he tried to balance his feet, close to losing balance. 

"Amy, uh? That's a sweet name, not as sweet as your smile honey bun! Let me slip my-" 

He ended up slipping on the wood floor, dropping his glass that shattered into fragments of glass. Laughter went around the room to Tony comedically falling on his face. Even Molly found it hilarious, Daichi and Rōzu had a good chuckle because they thought Tony did deserve it for drinking too much.
