Chapter Four:
A Noble Queen
Wine, red and many other types followed as the king and his closest advisor's
and friends drank to an upcoming event, the capture of Queen Orla. Dressed in a
green shirt and black formal shorts, Max the younger brother of May stood up and
said, "Today is a great day, for soon Allura's aunt will be gone, and and no one
from the royal family will be alive".
"That we hope Max", says Misty.
"This world has shown little resistance, they might find a way to contact Galaxy
Garrison", says Professor Oak, who was dressed in a white lab coat, brown dress
shirt, red tie, brown pants, and black shoes.
"They wouldn't dare", said Brock, "but never say never, and if they try they
shall pay".
Ash said, "With our forces on their way to Orlock to capture Queen
Orla, we have achieved something that Zarkon could never do".
"The final defeat of Voltron", said Delia.
Captain Holder was leading the party send to bring Orla back to them.
"Captain Holder is very trustworthy, he will get he job done", thought Ash
aloud.
"Yes he will", Brock added, "but Paul".
"Yes, but not to worry", added Gary who was dressed in a black pair of pants and
shirt, "he wouldn't make a move that threatened his life", he took a slip of
wine.
"If he tries anything, Captain Holder will put him in his place", Misty pointed
out.
"True, but its been two days since the fall of Arus", said Ash, "no matter we
will not let our guard down, once Orla is brought before us, Arus will no that
there is no way out, from under our thumb", he smiled evilly.
Queen Orla was worried, and she had good cause to be. Voltron was gone, her
niece, the Voltron Force, and half of the staff of the Castle of Lions were dead
killed by the forces of the Pokemon Empire. And now they were on their way here,
she knew she would be killed once they found her. Not right away but soon
enough.
Bang, Bang, Bang!.
Orla knew that sound, "They found me".
The staff of the castle crowded around her, they would protect her with their
very lives. The door bursts open and there stood an army of humans, aliens, and
Pokemon. Captain Howard
Holder smiled, "Greeting your majesty, I'm Captain Howard Arthur Holder of the
Pokemon Empire. You are hereby under arrest and going to be taken to King Ash
himself".
Orla felt a cold chill go through her. Captain Holder was tall, dressed in a
black uniform. He had green cold eyes, and brown short hair. He was cruel
looking and many people were afraid of him, "I'll never go with you", she said.
"You have no choice", Captain Holder said.
Paul stepped up, "Queen Orla, if you don't come with us, it will be worst for
you".
"Listen to him Orla, Paul knows what he is talking about", said Captain Holder
is a evil tone.
Orla and her staff stood their ground.
"Very well", said the captain, "so be it, Skitty attack".
A group of Skitty attacked, the staff fought the best they could, but in the end
they all were dead leaving a sobbing Orla on her knees.
"You killed them", she said tears streaking down her face.
"Nonsense, they killed themselves for defying us", said Paul as he smiled
coldly.
"Monster", Orla yells as he slapped Paul across the face.
"No you'll pay for that".
Orla was taken by the guards and brought out on a wagon to be taken back to the
palace. Her castle was lacked and left as a reminder, that the Pokemon Empire
would not be defeated. As she watched her castle disappear as they took off,
Orla knew she would never see it again.
"Your majesty", said Paul as he bowed, "Queen Orla has been captured, she is
being brought to you".
"Very good Paul", said Ash, "Captain Holder and you have worked together and did
a good job".
"Thank you sire".
"Now let's see our guest of honor, shall we", he laughed, "send her in".
Orla was brought before the court, her hands shaking and her face stained with
tears. The queen was brought before Ash and placed on her knees.
"Welcome Queen Orla, my name is Ash", the king said.
"I know who you are", she said, "why, please tell me why are you doing this?".
"The Pokemon Empire is a great power, and we shall rule the universe. it is our
destiny".
"No, you has conquered peaceful worlds, and Arus was on of them", Orla protested
in the defense of her planet.
"You Orla our in the way", said Ash.
"Pokemon can be used for good, but instead they evil and many good people are
suffering under your rule".
"Yes we seen the good in Pokemon, but luckily they found the true path, and
that's evil. And they shall be the key to you downfall", Ash laughed.
"Monster", she whispered.
Misty got up and walked towards Orla, "My dear your a threat, if your left
living Arusians might start fighting back, that means rebelling. Which we won't
have", she had an evil smile on her face, "now my dear Queen Orla, your death
will be a reminder of how powerful we are".
"Your evil Misty", the queen says, "and ugly".
Misty scratches Orla's face leaving a mark, "Don't cal me ugly, beside your life
is going to end. Not mine".
She smiles once again, and takes her place next to Ash.
"It is the decision of this court", announced Ash, "That you Orla Camilla Canora,
sister of the late Queen Ariel, sister-in-law to the late King Alfor, and aunt
to the late Crown Princess Allura, will be put to death".
"No please", begged Orla.
"Take her away", commanded Brock.
"ARUS FOREVER!:", shouted Orla.
In her cell Orla waited for the end, but she believed that Arus would be free.
She head a sound and saw a Pokemon, a
Meowth.
"A Meowth", she said.
"That's right", the Pokemon said.
"You can talk?", asked the queen.
"Yes", said Meowth, "I'm one of the many Pokemon that can talk, and I know who
you are Orla. Your going to die soon, I was sent her until they came for you".
"Why, why Arus?".
"Because it was just right for the plucking", answered Meowth, "life under our
rule ain't so bad".
"It's horrible", shouted Orla.
"Well, I understand lady from where I'm standing your in a cell", he laughed,
"but really just think we could have been friends".
Orla was angry, "I'll never be friends with people like you".
Meowth was amused, "Suit yourself Queenie, your time is neigh".
Orla sighed, her life was over, but Arus had a chance. And she knew that the
people would fight to be free.
After her last meal, Orla was taken to the courtyard, where is she executed. It
sent shockwaves throughout the galaxy and on Arus. People mourned the lost of
Orla, and the need was Arus's freeddom grew larger. The Alliance swore to help
free Arus from the Pokemon Empire, so one day they would be free again
