//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Ultra Prism Squad // Story: Pokemon Ultra Mystery Dungeon // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// That evening Emi, Ralph, Spy, and Starlight returned to the Expedition Society HQ to report that day's eventful expedition. Everything from Spy's recruitment to the encounter with Ultra Prism Captain Neurosis. Ampharos was amazed by Spy's recruitment but shocked about the encounter. And so after dinner that night, he called for a meeting before evening activities. "I would like to thank you all for gathering here on time," said Ampharos. "What's the news this time chief?" asked Buizel. "First of all, I am happy to announce that we have a new member of the Expedition Society," beamed Ampharos. "Everyone I am happy to introduce Ralph's newest team mate, Spy the Silvally," "What!?" they all gasped. "Spy, from the rumors!?" asked Archen. "THAT Spy?" "Indeed, I want you all to give him a nice big welcome to the Expedition Society," said Ampharos. "It's great to have you here!" cheered Dedenne. "Alright a new member!" exclaimed Bunnelby. "Thanks for having me," said Spy. "Now moving onto more serious matters," said Ampharos. The room quieted down to here what Ampharos had to say. "Recently on an expedition to Equestria, Ralph and Emi had been attacked by an unknown Pokemon who claims to be working for the Ultra Prism Squad," said Ampharos. "I have received news from Spy that they were once again attacked, this time by Ultra Prism Captain Neurosis," "Who?" asked Buizel. "Neurosis, he's one of the ten captains in the squadron, he's the one leading the Nihilego Unit," answered Spy. "One of 10?" asked Bunnelby. "I have asked Mawile to do some in depth research on this mysterious organization, and from what I've learned from Spy and Mawile's research, I would like to share with you all tonight," said Ampharos. "Are you ready?" Everyone nodded. "First things first, it seems that these members are the ones that appear from the Ultra Wormholes that have been appearing in this world," "Are they aliens?" asked Swirlix. "We don't know for certain, but they do have that aura to them," answered Jirachi. "Next, the Ultra Prism Squad has an interesting way of running things, first there's their leader who is currently unknown to us, then comes the captains who takes orders from their leader, then the members which act as the main form military in this organization, and finally the Pokemon who are NOT the members but works as the accomplices or helpers to the organization," said Ampharos. "Doom is one of them right?" asked Starlight. "That's right," answered Ampharos. "Next thing, like Spy said, there are a total of 10 different captains that takes orders from their leader, Neurosis is one of them," added Mawile. "Who are the other 9?" asked Ralph. "According to my research, they go by the names of Bulge, Pheromone, Xander, Katana, Celeste, Gourmet, Bombshell, Stack, and Neuropathy," answered Mawile. "Finally the members of the Ultra Prism Squad are the ONLY one's who can open and close Ultra Wormholes at their own free will," said Ampharos. "Which does leave some questions," "Like if their the only one's who can open Ultra Wormholes, then how does the helpers of the organization get to their hideout," suggested Jirachi. "Their are still some mysteries revolving around the Ultra Prism Squad or U.P.S. for short, like why do they need Ralph's key or Umbreon and Espeon's Entercards," said Ampharos. " "We plan to continue investigating so we can learn more about these visitors from beyond the wormholes," "In the meantime, Spy, whenever you are going out, I want you to keep a close eye on Emi and Ralph and if you run into any trouble or you learn anything new, contact Dedenne immediately," "Roger," said Spy saluting. "Emi, Ralph, it's obvious that there something about you two that keeps drawing members of the U.P.S. towards you, therefore from now on whenever you're going out, I want you to be extra cautious, if anything were to happen tell Starlight or Spy understand?" asked Ampharos. "Yes sir," they both answered in unison. "It's the same for the rest of you, if anything happens while you're out contact Dedenne immediately, protecting Emi and Ralph was one of our priorities, but now I want you to make it your number one goal," said Ampharos. "until we learn more about the U.P.S. keeping these two safe should come first," "Yes sir!" they all answered. "Alright, that's it for tonight, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow so be sure to get to bed on time and rest up, until then goodnight!" announced Ampharos. With that the members broke off and went their own way to prepare for bed that night. Meanwhile somewhere beyond the Ultra Wormhole, in a world where darkness envelops the entire dimension. The dark castle opens it's gate as Doom approached. Behind him, Zoroark and Krookodile stood inspecting the castle's towers. "Let's go," said Doom walking in. Zoroark and Krookodile hesitated but followed him in anyway. As the three entered the castle, Neurosis suddenly hovered out from behind one of the pillars and approached them. "You're late," Neurosis hissed. "My bad ok?" growled Doom. "It's wasn't easy finding Zoroark when she could be 70 other Pokemon. "The king is getting impatient, he doesn't have time for you're excuses," Neurosis hissed. "You don't have to remind me," Doom growled annoyed with Neurosis's pestering. Doom, Zoroark, and Krookodile followed after Neurosis as he led them up a flight of stairs. The three were eventually led to two giant metal doors that was being guarded by two strange creatures. Both of them resembled giant red mosquitoes covered in bulging muscles. "Open the door," Neurosis hissed. The two creatures grabbed the handles and opened the two large doors that led into a giant room. Neurosis led the three into the room as the two creatures closed the door behind them. Krookodile looked around the room and saw ten banners of the Ultra Prism Captains hanging from the walls. There were five banners on each side that eventually led two two giant statues that stood next to a giant black prism in the center. The banners for Neurosis, Bulge, Katana, Gourmet, and Bombshell was hanging on the left wall that lead to the statue of a giant lion. The banners for Xander, Pheromone, Celeste, Neuropathy, and Stack was hanging on the right wall that lead to the statue of a giant bat. "Sir they have arrived," said Neurosis. That's when Krookodile and Zoroark realized that the giant black prism in the center was actually the backside of a large throne. "Leave me," a deep voice answered. Neurosis bowed as he turned around and left the room. Once the doors shut the voice spoke up. "You must be the one that retrieved the key," said the voice. "Uh, yes your majesty," said Doom bowing. "I appreciate your cooperation," said the voice. "Now what about the entercards?" "W-what sir?" asked Doom. "I thought I told you to get me the entercards," said the voice. "Your majesty I think you must be mistaken, you never told me to get the entercards," said Doom. "Ah yes, that's right," said the voice. "But at least the prisoner can't escape now that you have the key," stuttered Doom. "Yes, yes I suppose so," said the voice. "What about Zeraora, you heard from him yet?" asked the voice. "No sir," answered Doom. "The kid seems to be taking his sweet time, but I guess it's better that way," said the voice. "You're dismissed," Doom bowed and quickly turned around to leave, Krookodile and Zoroark following behind. As the doors shut, the shadow hiding behind the bat statue emerged. "When will you learn Marshadow?" asked the voice. "Heh, I wonder," snickered the shadow. "Hey Mr. all powerful king, when will you let me get one of those beautiful diamonds?" "It's too soon to be letting her go, just make sure she doesn't escape," said the voice. "Whatever you say boss," said the shadow. With that he sank into the floor leaving the Pokemon alone. "Soon, very soon, my dream will become reality," said the voice.
