Yaksha, inside the castle

-at this point, Andante gets up-

Andante: You thought you were so clever.

-she walks over to Revy, harp in hand, and Legato jumps to her shoulder-

Andante: I'm tired of hearing your little curses. So just shut up.

-and then delivers a single forceful strike to the head-

PEFE — Holon Branch

-What comes out Diane's mouth:-

Diane: Sure thing, Bishop, but after all of this is done. Actually, tomorrow, because all this talk of sleep has made me tired.

-What goes through her head:-

Diane: ~Success!~

Yaksha—Castle

Revy: -crumples to the ground, as people are wont to do when delivered strong blows to the head-

Harrison: <...>

Yaksha—Streets

-the screech reaches the Dunsparce Serpent, which is relaxing near Ayame, occasionally discussing the destruction of the rest of Yaksha-

Esmeralda: <...Something's wrong.>

Jean: <We have to go.>

-the rest of the Serpent takes up the Screech, rolling together into a massive ball, which rolls towards the castle-

Ravnica

Melek and Lavinia keep fighting, but suddenly, the sky grows dark. If the inhabitants of Ravnica look up, they'll see a fleet of Steel/Flying Wailord.

A certain two headed Tyranitar crashes into the ground. A Grass/Psychic Gardevoir floats gracefully down. A Emperior stands regally on top of one of the Wailord.

Vorel: "The nature guilds reign supreme. Varolz has already outstripped the two of you dithering pompous twits. Ravnica shall embrace its roots and we will bring civilization down." As he speaks, Varolz passes the stone arches of the glorious Maze's End. He grabs a certain amulet. "I have won. The dragon can bite me."

Emmara smiles. "Welcome to the Endgame. Nature reigns supreme at last."

Ruric Thar raises his axe to the sky. "AT LAST, THE WORLD CAN BE CLEANSED OF THE ESTABLISHMENT!"

Ral Zarek blinks. "Well. I didn't see that coming."

A smug looking Tyrogue steps out of the shadows. "Hello, Ral."

"Domri. I see you walked out of your cave this morning. You set this up, I assume?"

He shrugs. "Who else did you think commanded the Beast Blimps?"

Ral Zarek glares. "You have not seen the last of me." He vanishes.

PEFE - Holon Branch

Hikari gives a curious look at Bishop "I guess you may have gotten a bit frustated by having to spend so much time here when you didn't even need any treatment yourself, though it didn't help that you two slept a lot and I didn't want to bother you two, I even had Rei and the others sometimes check up on you two so they could notify me if you were still sleeping or not. Oh well, I guess that overworking myself and often getting through whole days without sleeping didn't help my case either." she said, then looking at Samus "Right then, let's see..."

Hikari then picks Samus up and starts running some tests.

...Wow, Diane's a dick.

Holon City, PEFE Branch

-Bishop gives another sigh as tests are conducted on Samus.-

Bishop: <No, no, there is no need to try and justify anything. I was acting like an immature child, using threats of violence to get his own way, and for that I apologise. Not that you understand any of what I am saying, but I hope you get the general meaning.>

Yaksha - Around 600 years ago

-Ayame stirs upon hearing the Screech, and looks up just in time to see the blurry form of the Dunsparce Serpent slither away.-

Ayame: Huh? What's going... guh...

-The effort of talking is too much for her, and she slumps forward again.-

Ravnica

Alice: ...Somehow I get the feeling that this doesn't bode well for us.

Belladonna: ~You don't say?~

PEFE - Holon Branch

Hikari didn't actually pay attention to Bishop as she was too busy conducting tests, the results soon come though

"Yep, you're 100% normal now, so you can leave, a bird probably needs more free space than this place can offer anyway." said Hikari, giggling.

Ravnica

Breeze: <....Well. Did that just happen?>

Yaksha, Castle

-the Dunsparce Serpent Ball smashes into the side of the castle and begins unfolding, forming a rope up to the room Revy died in-

-Harrison, meanwhile, is staring in shock, and has been joined by Giuseppe and Guinevere-

Yaksha, inside the castle, ~600 years ago

-Legato is casually licking his paw when he suddenly begins to glow-

Andante: What is happening?

Ravnica, wherever Breeze and the Eeveelutions are

-Shadow blinks-

Shadow: <That was very unexpected.>

Leaflet: <So nature wins out? I like this.>

Holon City, PEFE Branch

Samus: <Yay~ Thank you, miss scientist lady!>

Bishop: <Yes... thank you.>

-Samus cheerfully flies out of the laboratory, Bishop rather morosely following behind.-

Aurora

-Ichigo is dining with his guards, Spectre and the other Pokemon nearby. Outside the dining hall, a servant is knocked out by an assassin, the goblets he was carrying almost falling, only to be caught. The assassin quickly swaps clothing, and carries the goblets to the table, slipping a powder into one of them-

Zane:Ah, here he is now.

Nona:About time.

-The goblets are laid down on the table, the powdered one being given to Ichigo. As the assassin leaves the hall, Ichigo takes a sip of his drink-

Ichigo:''Odd...this tastes different than I remember...

-Beat-

...Oh dear.

-Ichigo falls out of his chair, causing a disturbance-

Zane:My lord!

-The guards rush over to Ichigo, who manages to call Spectre over-

Ichigo:-Weakly- Spectre...you know what to do...

-Spectre quickly junps on her partner, and bites off the crest on his armor, revealing a pill. She forces it into Ichigo's mouth with the guards' help-

Ichigo:-Weakly- Ha...And you all said I was crazy for having that...

-He groans, the antidote working its magic on him, as he is moved to his room-

Kyrie:...Wow. Crazy-Prepared, much?

Ravnica

Domri hops on the nearest Rhydon. "TEAR DOWN THE WALLS, SMASH THE COBBLESTONES, DESTROY ALL THE BUILDINGS. WE SHALL BRING THE ESTABLISHMENT TO ITS KNEES!"

Niv-Mizzet flies in. "Beast Tamer. What have you done? I should devour you for your insolence!"

Varolz appears in front of Niv-Mizzet. "Not if I have something to say about it. I've always wanted a Zombie dragon on my side."

Niv-Mizzet raises a claw to smack Varolz. "Rot Farmer, I will have your head on a spit."

Varolz raises a hand, and Niv-Mizzet's claw stops mid swipe. "I am your master, Firemind. You are now impotent. Your intelligence is at my command. Dragon, demolish this city. Start with Nivix."

Niv-Mizzet looks at Varolz with fearful eyes. "Rot Farmer, what- What is this magic?"

"I am no mere Rot Farmer. I am your master, and you will treat me with respect. Nature will reign. Your age of "Enlightenment" is over. Wisdom will return, and your experiments will finally cease. Destroy Nivix. I would order you to then slay yourself, but that would be a pointless waste of a siege engine."

Niv-Mizzet whimpers and being flying off.

Ravnica

Breeze: <...That's not good. Should we run?>

Yaksha—Castle

-the Dunsparce Serpent is slowly pulling itself up the wall, towards the window-

Yaksha, inside the castle

Fukurou: "...You would curse me when Sister and I have heaped curses on each other since childhood?"

"If any of your descendants dares lay a hand on ours, they won't be commanding Dunsparce, the Dunsparce will be commanding them."

Ravnica

-Alice turns to the rest of the group.-

Alice: Right. So if my understanding of our situation is correct, that hybrid creature is currently able to bend the other guildmasters to his will and is also hellbent on destroying the city. I believe that an immediate evacuation would be expedient.

Belladonna: ~Again, your insights astound me.~

Alice: Unfortunately, I lack a flyer. In fact, I do not believe we have any flight-capable Pokemon amongst the group. And escaping on foot is impossible due to the sheer size of the city. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Holon City

Breeze: <...We could fling you really far with Psychic?>

-600

Yaksha—Castle

-Revy is dead, and as such doesn't respond-

-the Dunsparce Serpent, however, is now making its way in-

Ravnica

Sophie flies up on her Aerodactyl. "Get on! We must leave now!"

Yaksha, inside the castle, ~600 years ago

-the glow recedes, revealing Legato to be a Liepard-

Legato: <Oh, and don't I feel fancy.>

-as Andante looks over the incoming Dunsparce, she too begins to glow-

Ravnica

Sunny: -raises a paw- <What about us? You can't throw Dark types that way.>

Shadow: <Actually, I recommend running. We can come out the way we went in.>

Leaflet: <If we can find it again...>

Marine: <I really wish we had the airship right now.>

-suddenly, Aerodactyl!-

Electro: <Oooh! Awesome!>

-the Eeveelutions all dogpile onto it-

-Alice turns to Belladonna.-

Alice: What did he say?

Belladonna: ~He proposed that we throw you really far with Psychic.~

Alice: ...Whilst I appreciate your ingenuity, we would likely have a better chance of survival if we were to hide under a rock. Perhaps we should-

-Suddenly, Sophie arrives on her Aerodactyl.-

Alice: Ah, excellent. Thank you for your timely arrival.

-She moves to hop on, as does Arsenic, but then pauses as she notices a potential problem.-

Alice: ...There's not going to be enough room for all of us, is there?

Arsenic: <Negative, ma'am.>

Sophie sighs. "I was afraid of that. Though, I think my Archeops can carry a few more, but not much."

Ravnica

Breeze: <I can carry some peoplemons with Psychic!>

Yaksha, Castle

-the Dunsparce Serpent piles into the room, surveying the scene-

-ignoring the glowing Andante, they begin to surround Revy's body-

Ravnica

-Alice thinks for a moment.-

Alice: Your Aerodactyl appears to be able to support you and the Eeveelutions, so you should be fine, at least. Your Archeops would probably be able to carry me, but no-one else... the Chimecho has proposed carrying some passengers with telekinesis, but I have no idea whether he would be able to sustain all three of my Pokemon. And of course, this is all assuming that the others at the labs also have a suitable means of escape...

-She sighs.-

Alice: I suppose there is only one way to find out if this will work, isn't there?

Yaksha, inside the castle

-the glow recedes from Andante; she's wearing a fancier robe, has a larger harp, and her hair has turned bright blue-

Andante: What just happened?

Ravnica

Sophie sighs. "Indeed. I told Kerri-Lynn to stay at the lab. It's just on the outside of the city, so no one should be able to tear it down yet. But, I've seen that Tyrogue outside of the barrier, so I don't know."

Ravnica

Breeze: <You insult me, strange lady. I could carry your team with one hemisphere tied behind my back.>

Yaksha—Castle

Harrison: <...Congratulations on your transformation.>

Giuseppe: <Harrison, what—>

Harrison: <We're leaving. Giuseppe. Guinevere.>

-the Dunsparce Serpent, meanwhile, has formed a cushion under Revy, and is moving him out the window-

Harrison: -opens his eyes, staring intently at Andante and Fukurou- <You won't be seeing us again in this lifetime.>
