-Ren's mon have been silent throughout Ren's monologue, and while Kitsune and Rio already know this, Bahamut and Hecate are looking at Sho with eyes filled with condemning disappointment.-
Ren: -still to Sheila, while glaring at Sho- And did you know that because of that account coming to light, a good friend of mine had to deal with the fallout?
-in a nasty tone, to Sho- Do you want to finish this story Shokaki?
-Sho is looking rather distraught and scared from all the looks he's getting, but remains silent.-
Ren: No? Then allow me. As it so happens, both the account of Warlord Lucanus Cain of Pugilis and the account of the Downfall of the Ghost Lord were recorded and narrated by the same person.
-Ren points his cane at Sho.-
-coldly- That man there. Our ancestor. Shokaki, Guildmaster of Terrera's Merchant Guild and one of the heroes who fought alongside the Sun Goddess.
-As Ren finishes, Sho goes pale.-

Ransei
Sabaku: Shut up, it was tactical.
Airship
Dune: Someone's wearing their rose-tinted glasses...
Ransei
Sabaku: And someone's arguing with their ancestor in the middle of a flashback story. Now who's the bigger fool?
Airship
Dune: ...
Ransei
Sabaku: Yeah, I thought so.
-Quares takes a moment to think.-
Quares: Hm... Four warriors should do nicely. And yes, I believe keeping to the move limitation would keep things interesting.
-The tallest of the Dustrunners ponders for a moment.-
Kioji: "Four"...? But there are five Dustrunners, including Sabaku...
Quares: You will not be joining them, Kioji.
-Kioji blinks.-
Kioji: But-
-Quares holds a hand.-
Quares: Trust me.
Snips: I'm confused.
Hia Valley
Sheila: But- wait- wah?!
-One could almost hear stone grinding as Shiko turned to face Sho. She doesn't say anything.-
Airship
Jacob: "...."
"I..."
"Did I just get spoken to by an ancient Warlord in a flashback?"
"..."
"What."
-Blinks "Wait... I think I've actually heard something like this stor-"
Edge: <ANYWAYS! BACK TO ADVENTURE!>
Ransei
Iranidius: -Nods- "Yes.... yes... okay. And I have but one Champion, so he will serve us. My son, Celzvet, stand forward!"
And so I did. My dad had passed on his old warmonger Aggron to me, and had raised himself a new Tyranitar.
The people who would later know me would not recognize me at all. For I had not yet become the Clown King of Cragspur. All my steps looked mechanical. My very countenance radiated hatred. I was a weapon.
"Will you stand for Cragspur against these Warriors?"
Celzvet: "....." -Nods-
Airship
Sylva: <You fought four Warriors by yourself?!>
Edge: <More like eight. Have to count their partners.>
Jacob: "I'm just waiting for Sabaku to chime in and tell me he's BS-ing this part."
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."Ren: -to Sheila, while walking slowly towards Sho- Yes, Sheila you heard correctly. The man in front of us, out of petty spite, wanted to ruin the name of the family of a man who wanted nothing more than to repent and make amends for the sins he committed. This man with whom I share more than a passing resemblance to.
-Ren stops in front of Sho-
-to Sho- I am very happy I've gotten the chance to say this to you face to face.
-Sho quails in Ren's gaze.-
Ren: Shokaki, you disgust me. And Lucanus Cain was a better man than you'll ever be.
-Ren punches Sho across the face. Sho lands on his side near Shiko with the left side of his face starting to swell and his lip bleeding.-
Ren: -turning to Shiko- Lady Shiko, I'm so happy that our family took after you and not this man here.
-Ren turns and walks away, wanting to distance himself from Sho before he throttled his ancestor, stopping to lean on a rock a good distance away.-
-Sho lays on the ground hoping that someone in the group would offer some words of understanding to him.-

-Quares is taken aback, until he recognizes the grizzled Aggron accompanying the younger man.-
Quares: ... I accept your terms.
-The Boulder pales as he looks over the Aggron, his Golem trying to back up as much as he can.-
Hia Valley
-Sho might not have quite expected who walked up to him.-
Holiday: <Son, lemme tell you somethin'. If next time you do somethin' like this, make sure you ain't diggin' yerself a grave yer kids won't be willin' to put flowers on.>
-He goes off, leading a flabbergasted Sheila somewhere warm.-
Shiko: ...
-Shiko stares down at Sho, passively. The lighting and positioning make her seem more like a scorned titan than a woman.-
Airship, Straw's room
-Straw is moved on top of Crewe-
Well this is different.
Airship, Jason's Room
-Jason is enjoying a sleep as a human.-
Eriscape
-I think Maria is still here.-
Ashley's Cabin
-Lane is asleep here...though at some point last night he lost his shirt.-
Eriscape
-She's not, she has been blipped away long ago. What do you think, that she has been imprisoned there?- "Screw it, I AM going to enjoy this game!"Tori's Cabin
-Oh really now? Then I guess she's been sleeping here then. And remember how I said Lane rearranged the unconscious participants? Guess who ended up in the same bed as her?-
Ashley's Cabin
-She's asleep there too. Bud is back with her now.-
Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.Ashley's Cabin
-Lane snuggles up to Ashley, smiling in his sleep.-
Tori's Cabin
-Looks like Tori has been sleeping the mindscape off in here all night as well-
Pueltown
-Shinobi is somewhere, probably sleeping wherever the Greninja Squad stayed last night-
Airship
-She kisses his cheek then hugs him in her sleep.-

Someone's here. And it's not Michael.???: Oh wook at them. So adorable! [pinches Tori's cheeks]
"Screw it, I AM going to enjoy this game!"Tori's Cabin
"...Zzz-"
-Tori is awoken by pinching!-
"Huh, wha?"
Tori's Cabin
-Maria slowly starts to wake up.-
Ashley's Cabin
-As does Lane.-
Wait...where...my shirt! Hugo!
-And indeed the Flareon is using said shirt as a blanket.-
<You looked warm enough.>
Tori's Cabin
Alrey: What, so sleepy? :3 Here, take this electric mouse. It should wake you up! [drops Pichu! Denshi]Atla: <Just remember to not overdose the electricity. I don't think homo sapiens are resistant to high-voltage electricity.>
"Screw it, I AM going to enjoy this game!"Ashley's Cabin
-She wakes up... and blushes at the Shirtless Scene.-
Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.Tori's Cabin
-Maria is now mostly awake.-
Maria:Hm? Where...where's Michael?
Ashley's Cabin
-Right back at ya, Lane's blushing because he's shirtless.-
Lane:Uh...um...Hehe...

Tori's Cabin
-Tori yawns-
"How long was I sleeping...?"
-And suddenly, Pichu!Denshi snuggles!-
"Eeee, cutie!"
Ashley's Cabin
-She covers up her blush by covering the lower part of her face with a blanket.-
Jason has come back to kill for Mommy.Ashley's Cabin
-Lane flails trying the get his shirt back...only for Hugo to walk off with it.-
<No.>
Lane:Hugo! Dammit!
-Forget his face, his whole body is red. As such he tries to cover up as well.-
Jeeze...
Tori's Cabin
Alrey: [to Maria] You mean Eri? Well, he went off saying he is going to find Blitz. And bring him back, even if he doesn't want to be brought here. "Screw it, I AM going to enjoy this game!"Tori's Cabin
Maria:O-Oh...I-I see...right.
-She looks almost relieved.-
Airship
Jacob: "Wait so you decided an entire war, based on a single battle between your best Warriors?"
Argentum: <Impractical.>
Edge: <BUT IT WAS AWESOME>
Ransei
Iranidius: ".... That... is a very good idea." -Nods-
"Alright. I accept. As the challenger you may dictate how many Champions each side shall produce and whether or not we will stick to the ceremonial usage of the Warrior and Pokémon's single best move."
Airship
Jacob: "Wait some battles in Ransei only used one move per mon? Can you get any more inefficient?"
"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."
