Blue and Scarlet - NamelessShipping

Blue gets Tabitha really really drunk. And soon Blue is escorting Tabitha to the Magma base.
"Hey!" he says to one of the grunts. Where can I put this guy?"

Courtney went back to the Magma base only to find that Tabitha had that same fool back with him.
"You've got to be joking," She facepalms.

"Well, I did win that wager earlier." Blue says with a grin. Then he puts Tabitha on a couch. "Plus, gentleman's honor. Couldn't leave the poor guy. He had a little too much to drink."

Blue stretches.

"Man, was that a workout."

"He had no right to do that." Growls Courtney. "You better be going, now."

"A deal is a deal Courtney."
Another voice had spoken out. A middle aged man with glasses steps into the room.

"I can imagine what Tabitha bet." he looks to Blue. "Thank you for returning my subordinate safe and sound."

Blue nods.

Maxie continues.

"I am Maxie and I will honor the wager my subordinate made. The word of Team Magma is law. May I have your name stranger?"

Blue pauses for a moment.

"My name is...Crimson Meteor."

He has to think on the fly. It doesn't turn out well.

Maxie however doesn't seem to notice. After all, Crimson Meteor is no less of a strange name than Blue Oak.

"Courtney. If you'd be so kind, fetch our guest something to drink."

Courtney turns around in surprise to see her leader. "Leader Maxie," she dips her head respectfully and holds her hands behind her back.

Upon seeing Maxie's reaction to the peculiar for stranger, she almost opens her mouth to protest, but she knows better.

"Yes, Leader Maxie," She bows her hooded head and goes back up the stairway.

Not that she didn't trust Maxie, in fact, Courtney trusts his judgment more than her own. However, is this stranger trust worthy? Suppose only time will tell.

"Here you go," Courtney offers the man in shades a full glass.

"So Mr. Crimson, tell me, why did you choose to help Tabitha out?"

Blue just grins.

"Well, you see, I couldn't just leave a guy drunk and alone. Miss Courtney had already ditched him. "

Blue nods at her as he takes a sip of his drink.

"And, from what I can tell, you guys are a lot cooler than those Aqua Thugs."

Maxie smirks.

"Very true. We're honored to have an individual with such foresight with us. How about this? If you can prove yourself in combat, why not join Team Magma? If you prove yourself in battle, you can even make Admin."

Blue smirks.

"Sure. Who do I have to face?"

"My Admins, Tabitha and Courtney."

Blue looks to Courtney.

"Wanna throw down?"

Purple eyes look up in surprise.

This is sudden, and- brash... Courney doesn't feel good about this. However, she has to trust Maxie. She will have to ask him why he's doing this in private.

"If it's what Leader Maxie desires, I will."

And Blue absolutely dominates her.

"Sorry bout that." Blue says to Courtney with a wink.

"Don't be," In the end, Courtney is actually grinning. "I got to, analyze you." She giggles.

Blue looks to Maxie.
"So, good enough for you?"
Maxie looks a little shocked. Just who was this guy?
His power was just insane.
"Yes...that's very good...ahem."
He coughs.
"You are quite impressive."
Blue puts up a hand.
"Alright. I'll be back then. But right now, I gotta go back to my wife."

And Blue leaves the speechless pair.

Maxie looks to Courtney.
"So powerful...with his help, we can fulfill our goals. Yes. YES. It would do best for you to get close to him Courtney. So we could best manipulate him."

"Leader Maxie... a-are you sure he's trustworthy?" She holds her hands together.

"S-Something doesn't seem right..."

"He seems honorable. And if he is not, that's why I want you to get close to him. So you can manipulate him if need be."

Maxie grins maliciously.

"Groudon will soon be in our hands."

Meanwhile, Blue gets back to his hotel.
He lays next to Scarlet and Saki.
"Hey hun."

"I understand, Leader Maxie." Courtney bows her head respectfully.

Scarlet is holding Murasaki close, gently stroking her hair.
"How'd it go?"

"Met some interesting people. I dunno if they're worth busting yet. I gotta keep it up."

Blue gives them both a kiss.

"I need to wind down." he says "Lemme have the baby? You can go out for a bit."

"Of course," Scarlet gently hands the sleeping Saki to her father.

"But- I don't have anywhere to go."

"Isn't there like a museum out there? Don't you like that kinda thing? Come on, you need to get out sometimes too."

Blue practically shoves her out the door.

"Go."

And he shuts the door behind him.

"Yeah but- you know me, I'm not a big fan of going out into big places like that." Scarlet whines. "I lived on the mountain in solitude for years! I don't want to go-"

But she's unable to escape.

"Hey!" she sighs. Why is Blue doing this? With hands in her pockets, Scarlet heads out into the city.

Ughhh the city, such an over populated place with too much noise and lights that pollute the night sky. When's the last time Scarlet was able to see the stars?

Upon spotting the lighthouse, Scarlet decides to make her way there. If she can't have the stars, she can have the ocean.

"Isn't it a beauty?" a voice calls out as a person approaches the lighthouse.
A tall woman in a blue skintight outfit approaches, her long dark hair covering a single eye.
"It marks where the water and land meet."
She motions toward the ocean.
"The ocean is where all life sprouted from after all. It connects us all, don't you agree?"

Scarlet looks over her shoulder. Her gray eyes blink, of course there are people here.
"Y-Yeah, it is."

The spandex clad woman shows a toothy grin.
"It's unfair how the people on their land have tried to tame the ocean. Creating dams, unnatural islands...sickening no? People should learn to appreciate nature."

Gray eyes gaze out into the sea.

"Nature isn't a toy," agrees Scarlet. "It's our home, why tamper with it?"

"I had a feeling we were like minded." the woman tells Scarlet. "Would you perhaps be interested in helping save this world? Save our environment?"

"Saving the environment?" Scarlet echos with a blink.

"Making things back to the way nature intended." the woman explains. "I am a part of a group that is going to save this world. I'm sure if you met our leader, you'd become interested in our glorious cause."
