[After an incredibly long absence, for Cobra anyway, Cobra Commander's made his return to the Pokegear. And he's in one of those weird nondescript rooms the Goldenrod Rocket base is apparently full of.

And there'd be some nostalgia over the fact that he hasn't broadcasted from here in quite some time, but he's too busy being mad.]

I sssspent months of planning, months of making sure everything was perfect! Only to fall victim to not just the handiwork of a couple of do-gooders, but of a ssssaboteur! But make no misstake, I am in no means deterred from continuing to do whatever I can to try and make thissss world mine! No prison, no act of ssssabotage, no ssself appointed heroes, nothing will ssstop me! Nothing!

[He's basically angrily shaking his fists at the camera. Wow.]

In fact, I will not ssstop until the world is mine, or the day I depart from thissss world! So if I were all of you, I would hope the latter happens sssssoon enough!

[And that's the end of his public tirade. Now if you're a Rocket, there'll be a message for you guys as well.]

[Private Rocket Video]

And as for the rest of you.

[...surprise? He's not really happy with you all either. Then again if one thing is clear in this video, he's not happy with anyone.]

The last time I had the misssfortune of being incarcerated, within days, one of you took it upon yourself to correct that hideous missstake. Thisss time...thisss time I waited weeks! Weeks before having to call out for assistance! Not one of you took it upon yoursssselves to figure out what happened to a sssuperior officer, especially someone like myself!

[At this point, he's slamming his first into the desk on..basically exclamation point. It's been a while since he's been this worked up.]

And believe me, I have been informed of your...recent endeavors. However, that is no excuse! I will not forget thisssss...thisss injustice! If any of you ever expect me to aid you in your hour of need, then forget it! You're on your own!

[...okay, he's done yelling. For now. And like most of his tantrums, the majority of this will probably blow over once he finds something different to shriek at.

Also maybe ranting at Team Rocket while inside a Team Rocket base isn't the world's brightest idea, but...it's Cobra.]

And as to our little sssaboteur, rest assured that you will pay for what you have done. I promise you that.

[Once he figures out how to resolve the issue of how to appropriately retaliate towards a Rocket for interfering with his nonRocket businesss. Which could probably take a while.]

Comments

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yesss, I'm fine.

[Wait.]

And I'm not angry! I am far past that point! I'm furiousss! Completely furioussss!

[deaftly]

Well, it's good to hear that nothing happened there. I mean besides you being fucking furious. Though you've got every reason to be. If I was left in jail for that long--

[He cuts himself off, glancing somewhere off-screen awkwardly. Let's... not talk about that!!]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

If you're expecting some sssort of horrible prison, that isn't the case. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. Thisss world doesn't seem to have any harsher penalty than detainment and community ssservice.

[deaftly]

Community service?

[Naki makes a face at that. Well that sounds like a pain in the ass, but it's definitely not what he was expecting.]

...So basically prison here's like a goddamn time out?

[This is not what he expected at all, um.]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

More or lesssss. You ssspend most of the day behind bars, and are let out for community service. It's sssimilar to the concept of a work crew or chain gang if those exissst in your world.

[deaftly]

Oh yeah, I've heard about those.

[They're not anything ghouls have to deal with, so he's never really cared.]

I guess that's not that bad, then. I mean it sucks, yeah.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

It certainly does.

[He is still mad.]

[deaftly]

Well, the next time you get thrown in jail I'll come get you out! If I can. I mean, I don't have Fly or anything, so unless you're in Goldenrod I probably won't be very useful.

[...also apparently you landing in jail is a sure thing, oops.]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

The odds of me being arrested in Goldenrod are extremely low.

[He tends to avoid it when plotting his schemes after the slot machine debacle.

But congratulations Naki, you've managed to get off his shitlist for now. So that only leaves about 20 Rockets or so that he's mad at.]

Ssstill, I appreciate the sentiment.

[deaftly]

[HE DID A THING \o/]

Probably a good idea, getting caught here would suck. Maybe someday I'll travel on the routes, at least to get Fly, but...

[But he'll ruin his suit.]

Well, if there's anything I can do to help that doesn't involve going on the routes, then I'd definitely be down to help!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Noted.

[He'll be hanging up now and watching his Gear for any more incoming calls. Which he expects to see. Or else he's going to start throwing things.]
