Eeveelution Squad: A New Era

The Past: Sunshine and Axel

"Wait, guys. If we are to take down Team Ascent, count me in." An unknown voice, which sounds like an Umbreon, enters the dining.

"Axel? When did you get here?" Sunshine is shocked to see his presence, plus no one knew but pat that he came in.

"A few seconds ago, but you couldn't see me, of course."

"Seriously! I saw you, brother-in-law! Guess we Umbreon know how to use the dark side." Pat blurts out, knowing what he saw.

"Why didn't you say anything, Patrick Star? Too fat from all that KFC?" Axel starts making fun of Pat as the only person who saw him, but didn't point out anything.

"Oh really, I bet you need wheels to move, Axle!"

The two Umbreon keep fighting until Sabine tells them to stop. Axel replies with a "SERIOUSLY GUYS! I AM NOT HERE TO JOKE AROUND WITH ANYONE! I am saying, if you want help, I can be there. So, do you need me for anything?"

"We need your help with Haven. She is a powerful psychic, so if anyone tries to get in her way, might as well die. Only you and Pat are capable of defeating her." Speed speaks up, understanding the situation. 

"Why me and Pat?" Axel replies.

"You have something in common. Look at yourself and him."

"Oh right! We are unfazed by Haven's Psychic attacks!" Axel finally realizes that they are Dark types.

"But she can use objects around her really fast, so be quick on your feet. You and Pat, after dinner, discuss a game plan. The rest of you, stay at the dining area. I want to talk about the plan for Joey and Spike."

"First, may we hear some more stories?" Emily says, deciding to listen to another story. 

"Ok we'll tell it together, right Sunshine?"

"Good idea!"

"Axel lived in Terra Town, where his family was shiny. Literally."

"While Sunshine lived in Sunny Town with Speed as her adopted father."

"Who was her mother?" Sabine asks.

"It was never really revealed until the mid 6020s, so you could say Lazuli was her mother?" Axel replies.

"Why did Sunshine not know about Team Ascent at all?"

"I didn't want to join. Although my parents were getting me to join, I didn't know what attributes I had besides being adorable. Seriously. I never really knew battle theory, and I never cared about the Berserkers or the virus."

"That's sad to hear, Sunshine, what about you, Axel? Do you know anything about Team Ascent?"

"Actually, Sunshine can help Pat empathize with Spike. She always talked to him when he was down. She knows a lot of key facts about Spike's life and how it ended up this way."

"I don't get how that is valuable, Axel." Sunshine, unsure of what Axel said, responds."

"What about you, Axel, did you ever join Team Ascent?" Emily decides to ask

"I was the person who would use the dark side of the force if the doctors didn't comply with us about using BV-17 vaccines." Axel responds to the question

"I guess we are both Anakins in a sort of way. Cute, but uses the dark side." Pat comments

"Referencing Star Wars during story time? Smart move." Axel sarcastically responds, angry at Pat's comment.

"As I was saying, Sunshine and I met 30 years ago when we went to travel to an island, which I forgot the name, but even then, we had some sort of relationship with each other. But we didn't marry. We had many fights, and we decided that we weren't good for each other, but we just stay friends."

"Ah, so you were attracted to sis since 4? How did you know that she was the one at that young?" Pat playfully asks.

"Seriously, Pat. Stop with this nonsense. We figured it out 15 years later, as I said." Axel replies as he was once again, angered by his comments.

"Ok, you don't have to be so angry, please?"

"Maybe I do if you don't cut it out!"

"You know, we can always settle this in my backyard. I HAVE A STADIUM RIGHT THERE IF YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME!" Glowing eyes start to appear on Pat's eyes, signaling that he is triggered.

"WHO SAID I WAS CHALLENGING YOU?!? WHY WOULD-"

"AXEL AND PATRICK, ENOUGH BOTH OF YOU! Please, get along or we will all leave." Sabine and Sunshine both stop the discord amongst the Umbreon. "Now apologize please."

"Sorry, Pat, I get a little angry sometimes."

"Me too, Axel. Guess we both get a little heated up sometimes."

"May I continue the story?" Sunshine requests to continue the story as Axel is still dealing with his anger issues. 

"Sure."

"So everything that Axel said was true. But that's it to our story. There really isn't anything else. I didn't mind that the Squad decided to leave the organization. Same for Axel. It was a good thing in a way because we got to hang out more with our parents. And yes, Axel lives in Sunny Town with me."

Everyone applauds.

"So Pat and Axel, you guys go in to your room to discuss how to deal with Haven, the rest of you, we are going to figure out what to do with the rest. Sound good?" Speed announces, as dinner is about to come to an end.

"May I show you to my room, Axel?"

"You're the host young man, so please show me."

"Also one thing to know, bro, is never, ever, go into Sabine's room without a mask. She works with chemicals."

"Interesting."

As the Umbreon arrive at Pat's room, Axel is shocked at the view. A three-monitor desktop with a gaming keyboard, mouse, and headphones. And of course, a bed on the other side.

"Wow! Nice room you got there! Looks like the champion of battling is also a gamer! What do you play?"

Pat replies with, "VALORANT."

Meanwhile, in the dining room...

"We should stop calling this Pat's house, even though it is his house. We should call it something like, 'Squad 2.0 Headquarters'."

"Interesting," Grant comments on the name. "So that the name of this place? Eeveelution Squad Headquarters? We got Pat's room, which is the tech room, and Sabine's room, which is the chemicals room. The guest rooms are where we sleep in. And we have our meetings in the dining. Living room if we are not eating."

"Name confirmed." Speed says, now sure of the name.

"And we call ourselves Eeveelution Squad 2.0?" Sabine asks.

"Yes." Speed responds. 

"I guess, we will now be known as, "ES 2.0."

"ES? What does that stand for?" Sabine jokingly asks but knows what it stands for.

"You guys are being silly. It stands for Eeveelution Squad!" Grant says.

"Hands in?"

"What do we say?"

"Eeveelution Squad Reborn?"

"Ok then."

"EEVEELUTION SQUAD REBORN!"
