ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

CU, Theater, D&D Room

-Dune and Galvani move over to the statues.-

Galvani: <This one's Juno, no doubt about it. Not sure why she'd be here, but that's her.

Dune: Can't... quite... put a finger on this other one. Hey Ren, whatcha know about this male statue over here? I don't quite recognize it.

Zrone's Lab, past

Audilith: -Noticing the blue construct seemingly charging up- <Something charging up that slowly is practically demanding to be hit. Dear?>

Vanilluxe: <Right!>

-And both fire their attacks at the sphere-

Throh: -Readies another Wide Guard, just in case-

Helios: -Follows up with a Hurricane aimed at Reaper, while Draca Protects against the Dragon Pulse and lashes out with Dragon Tail, intending to slam Comet into OMEGA's sphere-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Jasonscape

(Belinda continues to dodge frenetically, successfully avoiding the Mystic Arte. Uzuri wasn't in the same place as the other two, so she avoids the attacks outright as she finally regains her footing.)

(Thankfully, it seems Blitz has ended the fight for them. While Uzuri hangs back, pistols still cocked as though she expects more foes to emerge, Belinda rushes forward to the seemingly healed Jason.)

Belinda: Sweetie? :D

Tastes better on the way back down.

Zrone Zone

Raser: <...Is this sort of thing typical with Zrone?>

Gogie: <You don't know the half of it...>

Sholto: <Guys, let's focus.>

-He shoots a Thunder Wave at OMEGA while Gogie tries a Foul Play on it, Raser, meanwhile, tries using Bulldoze on the machine while Akim'bleer uses Flamethrower-

Amity Square

Sholto: <Hm...>

<Well, we can try and find out what we can about these people, at least.>

-He tries looking for stuff at the crime scene-

CU, Rose Arena

-Moh Shuvuu wags his finger again and redirects the Toxic to himself-

-Shadow Lisa, however takes the brunt of the Brick Break and, while it does shatter, she doesn't take much damage-

-She then directs a Flamethrower at Yurlungur-

Scheherezade: -sighs- "..." -sighs again. "So, what's supposed to be down here?"

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-Blitz steps back as the familiar, but new orbs of light appear and set to work on Jason-

Blitz: "Ah... You with us again...?"

-Shinobi jumps high, and sticks to the glass wall to avoid the wave-

Don't tell me Zrone's been 'upgrading' him too

-He tries to fire a Water Pulse at Leng, but Reaper's impact with the glass wall might have thrown his aim off-

Amity Square

There are few visible pieces of evidence that could help with an investigation, save for the tracks and wheelmarks left by the villainous trio as well as the remains of the exploded mechanical Ninjask.

Shun: I can recount what I know so far, if it would help. They appear to have no apparent group affiliations, save for each other. Judging by the time and distance between their appearances, they are unlikely to have a fixed base of operations either. One of their former members, Earthwyrm, seems to have been replaced by the overdressed one. The girl in the yellow jumpsuit - Helion, I think she calls herself - clearly has some manner of technical background or a competent supplier. I can speculate as to Batastrophe's place of origin from her accent and vernacular, but I'd need a vocal print analysis to be certain.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

CU, Theater

-Pent closes his eyes and hums a little, trying to remember if he knows this song and if he does then how it goes-

Think we need to pick up where the Shadow left off? I mean I've got an instrument in my bag but I'm unsure he'd appreciate a keytar rendition...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

CU, Rose Arena

Dune: ... Well. I don't think we can brute force this in our current condition.

Galvani: <Then how do we get a clean, damaging shot on her?>

-Seiten dives in front of Yurlungur to take the Flamethrower, while Yurlungur himself Coils.-

CU, Rose Arena, Past

-And the Heal Pulse Is redirected away from Ren.-

Mendel and Ren: Oh COME ON!

Mendel: ... Well THAT would have been useful to know... This Moh Shuvuu, while slightly weaker than the one you fought before, has a move called "Over Here". It allows it to make it's self the target of any move that targets another. Unfortunately I still have nothing on Shadow Lisa. But if you want any sort of heals, you need to take out that Moh Shuvuu.

Ren: Wonderful.

CU, First Parlor, Yesterday

Ren: -walking towards the center of the while drawing the Blade of Kusanagi- That is Yamato Takeru. One of the greatest heroes in [Japanese] lore. He slew so many enemies, that his father feared him and sent him to the front lines of a bloody war in hopes that he would be killed. After a successful campaign in the west, he was sent east where he met his aunt who gave him the divine sword, Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi or "Sword of the Heavenly Gathering of Clouds", or commonly called "the Blade of Murokumo". After using the Blade of Murokumo to cut tall grass to escape a burning field, the the blade became known as Kusanagi no Tsurugi or "The Grass-Cutter Sword", or more commonly known as "The Blade of Kusanagi". Yamato Takeru met his death from a curse from a vengeful god, but his soul immediately reincarnated as a great white bird and flew away.

-Ren stows the Blade of Kusanagi and walks back towards the west wall.-

Ren: Hold on...

-Ren walks back towards the east wall-

Ren: Is it just me or does the piano get louder the closer you get to the west door?

-A rumble echoes through the area-

Which is preferable to step in on, if any? Presuming just Omega.

Jasonscape, past

-Pant-

-Pant-

-He bops Blitz in the stomach-

Jason:Guh...bro...you owe me like...10 drinks for that...ow

-Groans and turns to Belinda-

Heya, honey...you're here too...

-A green wave washes over the group-

Fairy Circle~

-Coutesy of a Bel-Lookalike Aspect.-

Love:Sorry to say, but I don't think you're outta the woods yet! D:

-The mist balls up and ungulates.-

Futility:'No...nOOO! I WiLL Notbe DefeaTed!'

-The mist condenses into a glob of what resembles a deformed version of the Masamune boss from Time Barrel-

-It roars as Jason stands-

Jason:Hu-boy...

-He sighs-

Welp, let's get this done, eh?!

Let's take 'em down!

Jason joined the party! The heat of battle rages! Jason and co. have received Overlimit!

Zrone Zone

-The combination of attacks on OMEGA cause the sphere to glow and spark and pop-

-Comet slams into it, causing it to then retract into OMEGA's body-

-As it's head folds back and it unleashes a blue beam almost as large as it's main body, sending Comet spiraling away-

-Argentum, Discord, and Voidstar all stack up and go into Protects, which the beam passes through as if it's nonexistent and they're all slammed against the far wall-

-In fact, it cuts THROUGH the glass and burns a wide swathe through the other fight, the glass wall falls down, and through the intercom system a heavily synthetic voice bellows out "TETRIS" as the section the beam cut through vanishes, and when the wall falls it lands perfectly on top of the section that was under the beam without tipping or cracking-

-Regina, using Reaper as an anchor, throws herself into the air and over the Wave Cannon, Reaper is then promptly knocked out by the Hurricane-

Verax: "Shit, BALTHAZAR!" -And he's scooped up by the Hydreigon as a stream of fire is bellowed down on to the mech-

---

Leng: -Tries to sidestep the swing but underestimates Jason's speed and the blade tears into his side- "... Tch!"

-He grabs Jason by the face and carves a looooong gash across his torso with the odachi-

-The Water Pulse just barely misses, the shaking of the wall from the earlier impact knocking his aim off just slightly-

-Then the Wave Cannon happens and Leng slams both himself and Jason to the floor to avoid it, face-first for Jason of course-

"If there is no way to win, I will simply force a way."

Zrone Zone

-An Ice Beam shoots in the direction of Omega's legs, followed by an angry buzz Tagg may find familiar and also kind of off.-

V. Leng

Jason:Ngh!

-The combination of the slash and slam rattle the boy a great amount-

Mnph!

-Once the cannon ends, he attempts to dig his foot into the cut he made and kick himself away from Leng-

CU Theater

-Joseph pricks his ear-

Oh? I can hear that, yeah! What about it?

Zrone's Lab, past

Guys, aim for the joints, sphere, and cylinders!

-Sees Jason get slashed-

JASON!

-Feels an odd buzzing-

Now where have I felt that before...

-Suddenly Wave Cannon-

...Ah crap.

Draca: -Scoops me up as she flies above the Wave Beam-

That was a close one, Thunder Fang!

Draca: -Dives at one of the joints in an attempt to sever one of OMEGA's limbs-

Helios: -Does similar to avoid the beam, -

Vanilluxe: -Gets behind Throh with Audilith as Throh's Wide Guard manages to barely protect them from the Wave Cannon before shattering, the three getting slammed into the wall, but their high durability (And Vanillue turning liquid using Acid Armor) preventing fainting- <...Let's not do that again.>

-And a Blizzard is fired at the cylinders-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

CU, Theater

So a guy was good at battle, his sword got a less intimidating name after a fire and the guy turned into a bird... Stories always get weird the shorter you make them. Anyway!

-He takes up a position of leaning against a wall-

Alright, so we've got the music coming in from the west, either we follow it or... I guess sing along Ren?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Blitz: "Oof"

-He rubs the back of his neck-

"Sorry, I couldn't think of any better way to stop you while you were like that"

-Then the healing happens and the new foe appears-

-Blitz draws his sword-

"Right. No need to hold back on this one, eh?"

Shinobi: <Jason- WAH!>

-Shinobi was lucky enough to be out of the way of the beam, barely, but the re-arranging wall drops him roughly on the floor. He starts to get up before fading into a shadow on the floor and appearing quickly at Leng's side, attempting to leap out of the Shadow Sneak to tackle Leng off Jason-

May not be available for a bit, so...

Zrone Zone

-After both the Wave Beam and Ice Beam the source of the latter - a Kyurem- lunges out of the shadows at the limb of Omega's opposite the one Draca is attacking with a Crunch, attempting to rip it off-

Amity Square

Sholto: <Hm...>

-He pauses for a bit, eventually speaking with a voice that sounds an awful lot, if not necessarily totally like Batastrophe-

Batastrophe?: "Well... How will this do?"

Zrone Zone

-Raser puts up a Protect, while Sholto flies out of range and Gogie tries to duck from the beam-

-Akim'bleer is too slow and he and Raser end up pinned against the wall, the latter not fainting by a hair-

Raser: <Oogh...>

Gogie: <...Okay, we're watching out for that, then.>

-Following Tagg's advice, he tries to attack one of the joints with a Fire Fang, while Sholto attacks another with Aerial Ace-

CU, Rose Arena

Moh Shuvuu: <I won't make it easy, though!>

-He attacks Seiten Taisei with an Aerial Ace while Shadow Lisa shoots another Flamethrower at Yurlungur-

Cu, Theater

SleepyHead: <I... hear it too, yeah.>

Duniree's Room

-Dune is flipping through some pictures in his wallet.-

-This one is Dezi attempting - and failing - to finish an ice cream cone before it melts.-

-This one is Dezi sleeping on her workbench, her face covered in grease.-

-This one is Dezi being surprised that Dune made her breakfast in bed.-

-...-

-Dune sighs as he leans back. Two and a half weeks until the wedding. He needed to find something to do - just sitting and thinking about it made his stomach churn.-

Jasonscape

(Uzuri stares at Futility's new and improved form.)

Uzuri: Oh, what the hell?

(Belinda, on the other hand, looks absolutely delighted.)

Belinda: Lemme go first!

(She begins by leaping for a second time into Futility's face and clawing at its eyes.)

Precision Strike

Tastes better on the way back down.

Amity Square

Shun blinks, then gives a small smile.

Shun: ...Actually, that might work. It may not be exact, but it doesn't have to be. We can use it to approximate Batastrophe's area of origin, and from there we should be able to narrow down a list of possible suspects.

He pulls on a pair of leather gloves, kneels down to start picking up pieces of broken Ninjask drone, and puts them in an evidence bag.

Shun: Tracing the origin of their equipment is likely to be more difficult, and has no guarantee of producing usable results. Still, it is worth a try.
