Umbra: -to Tagg- Are the archives on a computer? And either way where can me, Jacob, and everyone else here find them?

Hotland, way way too far in the past

-Another RC controller is plugged in at the permission of a Duneh-

Alphys:Dark? Well, hm...let's see if I can get the li-

-Click!-

-...it seems to be a kitchen set-

...oh phooey.

-A familiar rectangle rises from behind the counter-

PEFE HQ

Jacob: "That makes sense. I'll need to get this though."

"..."

-He looks up- "...."

"Every wai."

-Shakes his head and stifles a laugh- "I bet. Go to Snowpoint? Get a room in the center? Invade someone's home? Make an igloo? Light the world on fire? That would keep heat up."

Acuity Lakefront

-To Umbra-

We managed to digitize it recently, it's on one of the Archive's computers. It's not too far from Tangent's office. Normally that sort of thing is Founders Eyes only, but I can give you guys clearance to examine it.

-To Jacob-

That was my plan.

Floaroma, present

-Sholto had come here at some point in the past few days and is hanging around with Gogie-

Sholto: <So looks like seasonal employment'll be working out like you think it will?>

Gogie: <At least from how the first 6 months went, yeah.>

<It's good to be back travelling with you, though.>

Sholto: <Yeah.>

<Too bad you weren't back on your birthday like originally planned.>

Gogie: <Eh, the Thornes put together something really nice for me.>

<Besides, we pretty much never used to do stuff for my birthday anyway.>

<I managed to get back in time for yours, anyway.>

Sholto: <Yeah... That's good.>

<21 isn't much different than 20 so far, though.>

Gogie: <Well, 12 hasn't been too different from 11 on my end, so it's not just you.>

-Venomous and Wirrbelle follow Samus-

PEFE!Every: I have hobbies too, you know.

Kitchen wat?!

Mettaton:OOOOOOOH YEEEES~

Hello, beauties, and welcome...to tonight's cooking show!

Iggy:Oh! I like cooking!

Alphys:Ignia...

Mettaton:Excellent! Tonight, we'll be making a cake!

-The rectanglebot nods to Iggy-

If you would, Darling, be a dear and grab the eggs, milk, and sugar, hmmm~?

Iggy:Ok! =D

-Alphys' facepaw can be heard-

-Iggy does so and brings them to the counter-

Mettaton:Thank you, darling~. Now that we have these all mixed together, we just need oooone more thing~

Iggy:Oh?

-Oh, I don't like the sound of this?-

Hm? [[REDACTED]], why's that?

-Because he's brought out a chainsaw.-

Oh. ._.;;

Mettaton:A Human SOUL!

-He revs it up and begins to advance on the small girl-

-The phone rings loudly-

-The bot turns the chainsaw off-

Hello~?

Alphys:W-Wait! Uhm...why don't you...t-try using...uhm...a...substitute?

-Beat-

-Beat-

Because some mon are...v...vegan?

-Beat-

-Beat-

Mettaton:...What a WONDEFUL idea, only the est from the brilliennt doctor Alphys!

Iggy:That..worked...?

-Yeah, I don't get it either.-

Mettaton:In fact I have some human soul substitute right over there on the counter! Only the finest MTT brand Soulstitute! Made from the leftover souls of the Pokemon who have stopped dreaming!

-He points to the counter-

-Iggy cautiously approaches...-

-And it shoots high into the sky-

Iggy:Oh, COME ON!

PEFE HQ

Umbra: -to Tagg- Great! Can you give clearance from where you are?

-Meanwhile Robin and the Scythergirl both notice PEFE!Every-

Robin: ...Oh, hello?

Scythergirl: <Hi.>

-To Umbra-

Yeah, I'll just tell Dr. al-Cygni you'll be coming soon enough.

PEFE HQ

-PEFE!Every stares at the Scythergirl for a moment-

-blink-

-blink-

PEFE!Every: What.

PEFE HQ

Jacob: "Yeah, so Scytherpeople. Also great! Stay warm Tagg. Don't light yourself on fire. Oh! Right, meant to ask. Are walking hostile vending machines normal?"

Cooking with a Killer Robot!

-Mettaton wheels over-

Mettaton:Oh, by the way, since we have a veeery strict schedule to follow, if you can't grab that Soulstitute within One minute, we'll have to use the original recipe~.

-And he lifts off to the sky-

Toodles~

Iggy:I...

-Ring!-

Alphys:W-W-Wait! Y-You can't give up! Uhm...I mean, well...we can't really climb that, huh...

-Beat-

O-Oh! R-Right! Y-Your phone!

-Iggy headtilts-

T...The, ah...the big button on the back...p-press it!

-Iggy finds the button and boops it-

-And suddenly the P*DA-like device closes, then opens and expands into a twin nozzled jetpack!-

-Mega Salamance-esque wings included-

Iggy:Woah!

-She straps it on-

Alphys:Y-You should have enough fuel to reach the top if y-you hustle! H...Hurry!

-Iggy takes a leap...and begins to nyoom toward the top-

-And suddenly she begins to dodge eggs-

Iggy:Wah!

-Mettaton is humming and nonchalantly dropping eggs down-

-And sugar-

-and milk-

-This is getting ridiculous-

-Seriously how many of those ingredients does he have?-

-It's absur-yoink!-

-Iggy-

Iggy:Yes?

-Iggy when did you grab the Soulstitute-

While you were complaining? :3c

-...-

-Aaaanyway, there's the bot again, beginning to feign surprise quite obviously-

Mettaton:Oooooh noooo, I''ve been beaten once again! And you couldn't have done it without the work of the brilliant Doctor Alphys.

-Beat-

Oh well~, I suppose it's for the best. I will not give up so easily darling~.

-Beat-

Oh, the cake? Don't you know how these shows go? I made the cake ahead of time! We didn't need the substitute at all~

-He flies off as Iggy touches down, clutching the red can-

Alphys:W...We really did it!

-You can hear the smiles-

G-Good job! W...We...make a god team, huh...hehe.

-She hangs up and Iggy agrees and goes to continue on-

-...-

-Are you...keeping the Soulstitute?-

Iggy:Hm? Yeah, why?

-...why?-

Cause ya neeeever know when things'll be useful! =D

-...huh.-

-Off she goes a humming-

PEFE HQ

Umbra: -blinks; to Tagg- al-Cygni?

Robin: -thumbs to the Scythergirl- She's new. I think.

Sickle: <She showed up and started wrecking the place all of a sudden looking for this "Dave" guy.>

Robin: ...I guess that counts as "new".

-The Scythergirl seems to be looking at PEFE!Every intently-

-Ilya, Ereth, Helix, and Mata Nui are attempting to wrench Argentum off Jacob-

Lumiose — A Basement of Some Sort

-Remember how the Avenger was hunting down a fellow hero?-

-Yyyyyyeah.-

-We now cut to our caped crusader again... tied up to a post with a boy in a midnight-blue, ahem, catsuit, as well as a girl in a bright red, black-spotted suit of similar design. Next to them, a shiny Liepard is tied, a Ledian is unconscious, and a battered Scizor is wrapped in chains.-

Avenger: I don't think I've ever been more humiliated. Our defeat came at the hands of an egg villain.

-The egg-themed outlaw in question cackles, surrounded by a dozen Exeggcute-

Egg Villain: Hahahahaha! Yes, taste the humiliation! You will never face anyone again after your defeat at the hands of... THE POACHER!

-The girl in red speaks up-

Coxyclaque: So, you've got us tied up. What now, egghead?

Poacher: Why, first, I'll reveal your identities to the world!

-The boy in the catsuit rolls his eyes-

Chacripan Bleu: We got that much, thanks.

Poacher: Stuff it, kitty. Anyway! Reveal your identities to the world! You in particular, Avenger, will feel the greatest shame of all, knowing that your pathetic attempt at continuing the Auric Avenger's legacy was futile!

-He laughs-

Poacher: I mean, really, trying to impersonate your little idol, but you can't do anything that made him who he was? You can't use Aura, you have no consistent theme like your friends here do, you're more of a fanboy than an actual—

-THUNK!-

-The Poacher doesn't get to finish his boasting, because behind him, an elderly-looking woman with short graying hair and large sunglasses comes up and brings a long metal pole down on his head. A Roserade looms dramatically over the Exeggcute, intimidating them and sending them... er... scrambling, carrying the Poacher away.-

Avenger: ...Well, that was anticlimactic.

Woman: Ngg... gotta say... the scum o'th' world is a lot more bright and flashy than I'm used to...

-Her Roserade uses Razor Leaf on everyone's bindings, even breaking Bishop's chains.-

Roserade: <Nothing can stand up to the strength of our passion, not even the iron grip of evil!>

-The woman teeters a bit, and rebalances herself with the metal pole she just cracked the egg man with. She's holding a box.-

Woman: Listen, kids... don't... don't let this crap bring ya down, 'kay?

Chacripan Bleu: Hey, we got out of this, we can get through anything, right? No problems whatsoever.

Woman: ...Wish I had an ounce of yer confidence. Anyway... you, in the middle.

-Chacripan Bleu and Coxyclaque both look at the Avenger between them.-

Avenger: Uh... me?

-The woman smirks-

Woman: Yeah, you. Here.

-She hands the box to the Avenger. They all stare at the box.-

Avenger: ...Well, uh, this is kinda out of—

-She looks up. The woman is gone.-

Avenger: ...Nowhere.

Chacripan Bleu: Okay, so, first we get beaten by an egg, then some strange woman comes up to you bearing gifts before disappearing. Evenful day, non?

Coxyclaque: Well, go on, open it. It can't be that dangerous, can it?

Avenger: I suppose not...

-She opens the box. Inside is... what appears to be some sort of armor. Specifically built to guard the chest and back, with cables connecting to a pair of gauntlets, fitted to exactly the Avenger's arms. On the top of the box, there is a note.-

-The Avenger goes wide-eyed and rapidly closes the box.-

Coxyclaque: Huh? What's wrong?

Avenger: It... had my name. You know, the thing I'm supposed to be hiding from everyone? My identity, all that crap?

Coxyclaque: Oh! Okay, okay, we'll, uh—

Chacripan Bleu: Shall we spend the rest of our evening elsewhere, bugaboo?

Coxyclaque: Spare both of us the flirting, okay?

Chacripan Bleu: Oh, relax, I was just kidding! Still, let's leave her alone.

Avenger: Thank you. I... I think I know who that woman was, and I need some time to process this letter she wrote.

Coxyclaque: Right. See you!

-The two go their separate ways, leaving the Avenger alone. Bishop wakes up, clutching his head, and comes over to the Avenger's side.-

Bishop: <...What's this?>

Avenger: I don't know... but I think it's from Mother.

-She opens the box again to read the note.-

-The Avenger stares, taking off her hood to process everything.-

Avenger Lillianna: ...

-Bishop puts a claw on her shoulder, as gently as he possibly can. And that is when she breaks down crying.-

-PEFE!Every neatly disengages from Scuttle and hops to the ground-

PEFE!Every: That is an excellent name and I like it.

So, um, what brings you to the surface?

The Dreamscape

-A certain Abra with a long nose looks down at the pool of water. The ripples reflect the dreams of those he places in his care, though one in particular has his attention.-

Igor: Ah... interesting. He seeks to find refuge in a land where his darker tendencies shine bright in comparison. Most interesting...

Ruined City ?

-The sky is a dark, blood red.-

-The smell of blood and rust waft through the streets.-

-A figure stands alone in the street, overwhelmed by the sights, smells, and sounds, as bodies of everyday civilians litter the streets.-

-A small bear, bisected perfectly between black and white with one gleaming red eye, stalks around the corner. It spots the figure and rushes at it, it's paws sprouting bladed claws.-

-The claws bounce harmlessly off of the figure. The figure looks down as the bear continues its harmless attacks.-

-This thing is what caused this horror. That, or it is a tool or pawn of whoever is truly responsible.-

-This Is Unforgivable!.-

-The figure picks up the bear by the neck, eliciting a fearful yelp from the faux creature. The figure crushes it's grip, slowly turning the midsection of the bear into a hissing pile of metal and wiring.-

-Dropping the destroyed doll, the figure catches the scent of something much larger, much darker, much more... despairing.-

-The figure turns and stalks down the street toward it.-

-Ajax, the Ultimate Predator, had finally found prey worth hunting.-

PEFE HQ

Robin: -sighs- If we're going to continue the trend of "well-endowed" strategy game characters how about that freaky Kerrigan lady from the sci-fi one?

Mia: <I like that one too.>

Robin: -blinks- Um... Alright, given the source of my surname I'm not one to complain. You can be Mia Kerrigan if you want.

Mia: <I like it. I like you.>

Robin: -smiles- Heh... Thanks, Mia.

Mia: -to PEFE!Every- <I came up looking for food. Then I found out there were humans here and thought someone else I like was here. His name's Dave.>

-thinks a bit-

<The other scientists called him "Amb"-something when I was little. Might have been his last name.>
