♕ FIFTEENTH COMMAND | ACTION [ECRUTEAK CITY]
[Once upon a time (well, last year, but same thing, right?) Archer and Kimblee attacked the Kimono Girls in the Ecruteak Dance Theater.
Guess what? It's that time of year again! Except this time there's no Team Rocket attack, instead there's an army of tanks lined up on the outskirts of Ecruteak. Well, they're not exactly full-sized tanks. For some reason they're kind of tiny. Maybe Bradley didn't trust Archer with the full-sized tanks. Do you blame him?
Archer seems ridiculously pleased with himself anyway, as expected. He has his army back, and they're all alive! Somehow! He's learned not to question these things. For once Johto has done something right!]
Sir, are you sure this is a good idea?
[Archer turns to the man who asked, a rather generic Amestrian soldier, wearing the same uniform he is (minus the shoulder stripes and stars, of course). Archer merely smirks in response.]
Gentlemen, we're going to conquer this city in the name of Amestris.
[...Well, it'll really be in his name, but that's not the point! The soldier looks skeptical, but Archer's Bisharp, Queen, gives him a rather nasty look and he scampers off along with the others.]
Destroy anyone who stands in our way! This city will be ours!
[...Someone might want to stop him before he blows up all the landmarks...]

...okay, the fact that "bitty tanks" is now a legitimate tag has made my day
SNOW, OCEAN, NOW THOSE...RIDICULOUS TANKS
GOOD
MORNING
ARCHER
YOU HAVE A VERY AMUSED AND YET...SORT OF CONFUSED BFF DECIDING TO JUST KIND OF SHOVE SOME DUDES AND GET IN YOUR BUSINESS]
You'd think you'd learn not to start the party without me, Archer - like I'm going to let you have all the fun?
I should get him a Metang army and use the tag again y/n
Good morning. I was hoping I would see you again.
[This is almost like a second shot at Liore, only this time you're actually alive and Archer has obedient little monsters! ...Okay, so it's way more awesome than Liore and there's no Scar to worry about! \o/ ]
I suppose it would be rather unfair if I didn't let you have a little fun first.
[He'll just motion for the soldiers to stand down. Might as well let Kimbley blow up the Kimono Girls first!]
I know of an excellent place for you to start. Come with me.
[Queen follows after Archer, eyeing Kimbley suspiciously. She seems to have inherited her trainer's paranoia. Whoops.]
...do it
[omg
you're actually letting him blow shit up
you are the best
just let him follow after you like the obedient puppy he is]
So is this part of that conquest you promised me by the time I showed up again?
no subject
[...It's totally his. The Fuhrer's not here, after all!]
I'm working on being promoted within Team Rocket, but that's not going to be much of an issue, assuming I'll be allowed to keep a few soldiers or a tank.
[Probably not. Sigh.]
Unfortunately, Johto isn't bowing to me just yet. It's only a matter of time. I'm currently working on a way to control minds; that should help in gaining power within this world, assuming this plan fails.
[SMIRKING LIKE A DOUCHEBAG.
Queen stops at the door to the Dance Theater, glancing inside and frowning. Archer motions for her to enter and she does so, checking to make sure the theater is mostly empty. Excellent.]
After you, Kimbley.
no subject
[...And this is a fancy theatre. Why are you bringing him to a fancy theatre, did you get a sense of humor here, too?
He'll just kind of step inside and look around, though.]
Nice place. I'm guessing there's a reason you're showing me this that doesn't involve bad opera?
no subject
[A sense of humor? Oh please. That's the last thing Johto will give him!]
Opera isn't that terrible...
[Not the point.]
Indeed. There are a group of dancers who are rather famous here. Kimblee and I attacked them as one of our first acts here in Johto. I figured it would be suiting to attack them again.
[With his other Kimbley! \o/ ]
no subject
What'd you do to them last time, given the need for subtlety and all?
no subject
[.......]
We literally attacked them, stole some of their Pokémon, and burned the Team Rocket symbol into the floor.
[WE ARE THE MOST SUBTLE TEAM, KIMBLEY]
no subject
Oh my god, Archer.
[He is laughing so hard at that, okay, holy shit.]
I'll bet that went over well.
no subject
[Really, people come and go so often here anyway...]
no subject
Not bad, Archer. You done anything else like that? Anything major, I mean.
no subject
[Judging from the smirk, it's quite clear he doesn't need to think about everything he's done.]
There was a Team Rocket attack on a train, to steal Pokémon and divert suspicion from the team - though we do still have control over the rails, if I'm not mistaken - though that wasn't quite as magnificent, considering the fact that Mustang took us out. We had only arrived a few months before the attack though, so that was understandable.
Kimblee performed numerous attacks on his own, but he was willing to give me credit for coming up with them for Team Rocket. That resulted in one of my promotions.
In the spring there was another Team Rocket attack on both regions, involving... trash of all things. There are Pokémon that are literally trash and sludge - the team created a way to multiply them and spread them through the cities. I was in charge of operations here in Ecruteak. After that, we were able to capture Suicune, a legendary and powerful Pokémon thanks to our battling skill. The scientists within the team were able to create a way to give normal humans extraordinary powers, similar to those the Pokémon used. For a time, I was capable of teleportation and mild psychic suggestions - and my powers were minimal in comparison to some of the others'. While we had our powers, Kimblee and I were able to take out two of the Gyms for a couple of weeks, along with the Pokémon Centers. This is how I received my second promotion.
As I mentioned before, I have been experimenting with Psychic-types and mind controlling. I have used it successfully on several of the locals here, forcing them to hand over their Pokémon to Team Rocket. I have also been testing microchips in Pokémon hatched with interesting and powerful egg moves - the microchip will allow Team Rocket to control the Pokémon and keep an eye on its location at all times.
[Whew, that was a lot!]
As you can see, I've been rather busy.
no subject
You really do get to have all the fun, don't you.
[He actually kind of sounds pleased at that, though; it's sometihng they'll discuss later, he's sure.]
So what do you want done to the place? The usual?
no subject
[Did you really think he was just going to sit around doing nothing? He's a workaholic!]
Whatever you want. Have fun with it.
no subject
[The man threatening one of the generic soldiers might look familiar, Archer. The suit’s a little different, but it’s still pretty obviously Cobra. The sword and voice, though? Those are pretty different. Also, he's not screaming at anyone.]
And for that matter, whose army is this? I demand to see whoever is in charge around here. They have committed a very serious offense by abducting the leader of Cobra Command, and I plan to rectify it. Immediately.
no subject
[...That's a rather stupid question, considering Archer found himself here this morning for no real reason.]
This is my army, though I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't abducted you.
no subject
[Good news! He's not threatening nameless soldier anymore. Bad news, he has no idea who Archer is.]
And since you claim to be the one in charge here, I'll ask a simple question. What is the meaning of this?
i regret nothing NOTHING
Why is it always whenever she's in Ecruteak that you find the need to ruin everything??]]
Archer!
[[YOU CAN HAVE A VERY QUAINT FLASH OF YELLOW ZOOMING PAST YOU
YOU MAY HAVE TANKS BUT SHE HAS A SCOOTER]]
What on earth do you think you're doing?!
no subject
So, continuing Amestris' military conquests in a whole new world, sir?
[He's looking pretty amused. Man, if only the homunculi had more people like Archer the last four hundred years, their jobs would have been so much easier.]
no subject
[And he is definitely wanting to stop you.]
