-Ren sees Crewe Choking Aelia-

Oh no... Please don't let me be too late...

Ren: Crewe!

R&D Labs

Dune: Oof! Hey, Ajax! Why'd you stop.

Ajax: <There's someone in front of us.>

Dune: Okay? And?

-Ajax steps to the side to allow Dune a looks. All he sees is a lone Medicham, reclining against the wall.-

Dune: Ah.

-Dune waits for his Aura Reader to respond, but it doesn't so much as blip.-

Dune: Wait, what?

Juri: ~You were expecting someone a little more... Shadowed?~

Dune: Stupid reader must be acting up...

-The Medicham's brow furrows.-

Juri: ~Hey! I'm proverbally talking to you right now!~

-Juri sends a slight prod of psychic energy at Dune's mind. The energy is quickly dissipated, and a bit of psychic feedback returns as a rebuttal.-

Juri: <The fuck...?>

Cipher R&D HQ

-through a vague awareness of her cloud, Crewe can feel the vibrations from Aelia's choking and the movement of the Obscura down her throat. She struggles to take control back and pull it out, but finds herself unable to. Upon hearing Ren's voice, she calls out to him, panic clear in her voice-

R-Ren! I—I can't control it! I can't stop! Help me!

Cipher R&D HQ

Verax: -Smiles, and taps the side of his head, causing his solid black visor to lower- "With pleasure."

-He walks out of the room- "Okay you ten. Here's what you're going to do. Marcus, you have a Kadabra, use it to get you, Elina, Klyde, Perite, and Zolt down to the entrance and attack from behind. The rest of you push forward."

Peon: "And you sir?"

Verax: "I-"

-Suddenly the building is rocked by Tagg's explosion-

"-will go deal with that." -Walks off-

Peon: -Salutes- "Sir!" -Sends out a Kadabra and half of Verax's Peons vanish-

-The rest of them head forward and may be encountered-

---

Verax: -Is now walking down a hallway that is currently being fought in, ignoring any cross fire from Peon or J-Team battles as he goes on-

-Herbert sighs at Duke.-

Herbert: I didn't feel ready, honestly... besides, I'm not much of a fighter, as you probably already know. So I'm supposed to be running mission control instead... speaking of which, I should probably be doing something about that...

-He hits a button, causing the sprinkler systems in a random lab to come online.-

Cipher R&D HQ

-Aelia struggles vainly against the cloud of Obscura, but is unable to break free and eventually goes limp as she passes out from lack of oxygen.-

"Ah. That's understandable; and while you may not be the strongest fighter out there, you really should give yourself more credit, you aren't bad in a fight. In any case, you still have my Pokéball on you don't you?"

Cipher Peon: Kill them, kill them al-Gets Thunder Waved-

Forecaster: -Turning up her nonexistent nose- <I'm so tired of these guys by now.>

Tired?

-Smashes a Peon's head so hard with my Aura staff that the helmet looks like an Aggron stepped on it-

I could do this all day.

-Meanwhile Cobalt blasts an entire squad of Peons and their mons down a hall with Psychic in tandem with Muddy using Surf-

Cobalt: -Turns to me- <We appear to have some familiar company heading towards us.>

Yeah... I can sense him too.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

R/D Inside

Jason nodded and moved along with Nico.

"Team! With me!" he called, and his Pokemon followed suit. Jason ducked and dove through a series of passages, assuming Nico was behind, and coming into a room filled with computers.

"Its a control room," Jason declared. He ran over to some of the computers, checking out their systems for a way into the network.

"Team, hold the entrance and exits," Jason barked, his Pokemon moving accordingly. He opened up ARM and plugged it into the computer's USB port and began to mess around. After a few seconds, he came up short.

"Damn, I need someone on the outside to help!" Jason called to Nico,

"Do you know of anyone who was planning to mess with Cipher's computers before this raid started? I need another computer brain here!"

Far too Yu Gi for yOH! mama.

R&D HQ

-Straw hears Crewe's yelling, and finds her in the room with Aelia and Ren-

Crewe!

-He runs forward, only to slam into a Light Screen halfway to Crewe-

Aurora:<Not so fast! Naida told me what happened to you. I'm not letting Crewe's Obscura kill you again!>

Aurora, Crewe's in danger!

Aurora:<Leave her to Ren. >

-Elise runs into a room where the spare suits are stored. She finds Jet there-

Jet:Hello, little miss armor thief. -grins wickedly as Grimm lands behind her, cutting off her exit- Now, I'll be taking what's mine.

Elise:...Shit.

R and/or D, testing area

-Finds this place, but hangs back at the doorway-

Looks like someone beat me to the punch...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Sam looks back and sees Pent "Hey there! Come on in" he looks at Mammor "the more the merrier."

"I live, lived?, to serve and protect."

R&D Labs

-Galvani watches on in horror.-

Galvani: Oh man, I wish Champloo were here... I need to ask him about those calming pies he mentioned...

Dune: Hm? What?

Juri: <Wait... you understand what I'm saying?>

Dune: Yeeeees...?

Juri: <My god, I knew you punks were weird, but never this weird. Tell you what, you want down this hallway? You'll have to go through me.>

Dune: Really? Just you?

-The walling and floor tiles begin to bend and warp as the Medicham's left eye begins to glow a bright, vivid green.-

Juri: <Yep. Just... me.>

-Ren runs up to Crewe-

Hope this works...

Crewe Listen to me! Your to worked up! the obscura is feeding on your negativity! Obscura is darkness based, but darkness doesn't have to be bad. Crewe, you are a good person and I'm your Friend. And as your friend I don't want to see you kill someone, even if they deserve it. So Crewe please, don't let your darkness be tainted!

Testing area

Mammor: I'm glad to see you both, I need some stress relief.

-Mammor sends out a Shadow Golduck and a Shadow Golem.-

Shadow Rave.

-Both the Shadow mon create energy waves imbued with their shadow auras-

Herbert: Thanks, I guess... we both know that's not true, but the effort is appreciated...

-He sighs.-

Herbert: Let me guess - Lyuri wants it back, doesn't she? Great, that's the last thing I want to do... tell you what, I'm going to give the ball to you, alright? Because it's your choice what to do with it. Release yourself, if you feel like it. But if you actually want to go back to her for whatever reason, then let her know that she owes me one Master Ball. These things aren't cheap, you know.

-He hands Duke his Master Ball.-

- Umbra has reached a computer terminal and has let Xion upload herself into it, and she promptly begins assisting Herbert and opening doors for the J-Team-

Computer!Xion: -to Herbert- What else can I do?

-Nico runs in through an opened door to find Odin-

Odin: Well well, if it isn't the psychic brat. And a friend, I see.

Nico: Grrr...

- Clears throat, looking over at Duke -

So... How have things been with you and Lyuri since you got purified?

Cipher R&D HQ

-The roof above Tagg cracks and then gives out as a Tyranitar fires a Blizard at him and familiar Hydreigon breathes a massive stream of fire-

"Oh I should have known it'd be you."

Verax: -Drops down, two Peons on the floor above him- "You two keep his team busy. I want to try this new toy out."

-The Peons nod and send out an Emolga, a Relicanth, a Simipour, a Togekiss, a Magcargo, a Weavile, a Cloyster, a Krookodile, a Lumineon, a Drapion, a Ampharos, and a Sandslash which all imediately go after Tagg's mons-

Verax: -Steps forward- "Alright then... let's see how you handle this." -Rolls his shoulders-

Paradigm shift. Psychic! -His armor glows and the orange lining becomes pink-

Psychic! -The pink glows as a Psychic blast is launched at Tagg-

R&D, Deep Within the Building

Kaen is, you guessed it, sweeping the floor and whistling to himself. He seems surprisingly unconcerned with the explosions rocking the building and such.

R&D, Elsewhere

Pi and Glossa are generally kicking ass and taking names.

"Ach, barely a challenge, these mooks."

R&D HQ

-Crewe continues to struggle with the Obscura, her vision blurring as tears start welling up in her eyes-

I don't want to kill her! I—I can't get the Obscura out of her!

-Clockwise looks slowly from Crewe to Aelia, then flutters over to Ren, giving him a calculating look-

Clockwise: <   She is afraid of killing the girl. Her fear is interfering with her ability to control her powers. If you want the girl to live, Crewe must calm down. She needs something else to focus on. Distract her from her fear.   >

Dune: Woah!

Ajax: <Get back!>

-Ajax places his palm against Dune's chest and shoves him back as Juri leaps to the ceiling before springing back down for a Hi Jump Kick. Ajax takes the blow straight to the chest, sending him flying back and unconscious.-

Dune: Ajax! Dom, take her down!

-The Golurk lunges at the Medicham as his fists are shrouded in Ghostly Obscura. Juri is socked straight in the face.-

Juri: <Really? Cute.>

-She turn her face back to Dom, the fist still against her cheek.-

Big Dom: <uh oh.>

-He arms glowing an icy blue, she begins throwing a series of japs that Dom is forced to block.-

-Makes a barrier to block the Psychic after Detecting out of the way but still gets knocked back anyway-

   Verax!   

What's with that funky armor anyway?

Muddy: <Just 12 mons? He seriously underestimates us.>

-And leaps into the fray-

"I'm not lying Herbert, you're no master either at fighting yourself or at Pokémon battles, but you still can hold your own pretty well." said Duke, though he then sighs and was about to respond to Herbert again when DS made her question "... Well, Lyuri is being very supportive, she gave me some massage yesterday to get my head out of things and today I had a nightmare and I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, so I was going to head outside, but Lyuri woke up and despite being about 4 AM and looking as if she would fall asleep at any second, she insisted on keeping me company wherever I was going to go. She ended falling asleep at the kitchen, but it was really nice of her to try and cheer me up like that, right now she's sleeping in her room because I carried her upstairs so she could sleep comfortably. I'd say things are going fairly well between us."

Duke then turns back to Herbert

"And Lyuri being asleep means that I didn't come here because of her, I came here because I wanted my Pokéball back myself." he said, with a sigh "... Why did you catch me in a Master Ball anyway? Aren't those super-rare?"

Nearby Sam and Co. (I Think Near Mammor?)

Jack is waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

-Herbert gives a small groan as Duke talks.-

Herbert: ...I wanted to make sure that you'd be caught, okay? I didn't want to fuck up and ruin everything like I usually do...

-He elects to distract himself from DS and Duke's conversation by looking through the laptop feed at Xion.-

Herbert: Open doors. Hack cameras. Unseal cages. Set off the sprinklers. Start remote-controlling those suit things. Download data. Destroy files. We can do pretty much anything from here. Cipher's security systems are at our mercy.

-He sighs.-

Herbert: You know, I thought being a god of cyberspace would be a lot more satisfying.

Cipher R&D HQ

-By this point, Aelia has been without oxygen for a dangerously long time.-

Ed cries out as he was hit with both attacks at the same time.

Sam growled and recalled him "Dirty trick. But I'm just tricky." Sam states, sending out a revitalised Leviathan and Leo.

"Leo, Thunder Punch. Leviathan, Dragon Tail!"

The Scrafty runs forward and launches an electrified punch at the Golduck While Leviathan sweeps it's tail at the Golem
