CU, Alpha Quadrant

-The sound of someone planning on attacking them snaps the two opposing personalities back to the present.-

Phantom: NOT SO FAST! IF YOU WISH TO FACE US, YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH A LONG AND CHALLENGING SERIES OF TRIALS THAT WE JUST SO HAPPENED TO UNINTENTIONALLY CREATE BY RELEASING EVERY EXPERIMENT WITHIN THIS PLACE! IF YOU HAVE THE GALL AND ABILITY TO FIGHT US, WE WILL SEE YOU... ON THE FLAGSHIP! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

-The Phantom shoots off toward a huge, towering airship about as big as each of the four quadrants surrounding it.-

Positron: <Those jerks! They know we can't actually teleport to the Flagship except from DELTA Quadrant! I TOLD you that was a dumb design decision!>

Neutron: <We were supposed to deal with incursions from the Flagship, not from all the way out here.>

Galvani: <So let me get this straight - we have to fight our way through four->

Neutron: <Three. We've already stabilized Alpha Quadrant.>

Galvani: <Fine, so, we have to fight our way through three quadrants filled with all of the experimental creatures I make in my nightmares?>

Positron: <Oh HEAVENS no, the Nightmare stuff is still kept in that noggin of your in Max Security. HERE we have the stuff you just kinda make when your thoughts wander, and if they're good, we send the blueprints to your end of the subconscious.>

Galvani: <... So, that's good?>

Neutron: <Our sister might not have explained it clearly - we are in our realm, Positron and I. We built this place as our home in your unconscious, mostly to give us something to pass the time. Everything here is either experimental, or designed by the two of us. So, we should have a distinct advantage against the Phantom and all of the creatures and machines that they released. Except in combat.>

Positron: <Some of that shit is cray.>

Neutron and Galvani: <Please don't ever say that again.>

CU, Castle of Relfections

-Dune takes a moment to breath before heading down the hallway, which leads up a spiral staircase. At least, until a mirror slides of the of the wall and impedes his path.-

-The room dims again, and the mirrors become foggy. Scenes play out like some twisted television set, though no sound is heard from any of them. Two Honchcrow fly down from the darkened rafters.-

Hugin: And so the prodigal son, returned at last.

Munin: Here to confront his checkered past.

Hugin: Brave is he to confront himself now.

Munin: A new king for his subjects to bow.

Hugin: The Frozen King awaits beyond trials three.

Munin: We shall be the first, but the others are for you to see.

-One Honchcrow begins to crackle with lightning, the other gathers snow. They await for the group to ready themselves.-

Dune: ... Wow. That's... actually quite nice of you. Thank you.

-The two Honchcrow nod, and await patiently.-

Solaceon - Gestern

Alyesha nodded

Alyesha: "Ah, that's nice."

Hearthome City

-Victor sits on a bench in the middle of the city, flipping through his Pokegear. A Crobat sits on his head, its wings providing a bit of shade-

Garfunkel<Sir, I've been meaning to ask what exactly we're doing? I mean we've been going from town to town without much direction or purpose. I'm just curious what it is you're looking for, sir.

Victor: Huh? Nothing really. I just kinda like the whole ramblin wanderer act. Going from town to town, solving problems for a few people, getting into a battle or two. It's fun. I'm a rolling stone.

<Sounds more like you're a bum, sir, but I suppose it isn't my place to judge.>

-Victor cringes a bit at the comment-

"Well, that was just plain uncalled for..."

Solaceon - Sergey's Camp

Mireille: ~Sergey? Got time for a little talk?~

Sergey: "Err sure."

He sat down under a tree and motioned for Mireille to sit down beside him

Mireille: ~So... I know we're still kinda short on money, could you buy me a sachel though?~

Sergey: "Err... a satchel? What for?"

Mireille: ~I needed to revive a fainted Pokémon the other day... searching for a Revival Herb took much longer than needed, I'd like to have a few herbs with me from now on, I won't risk it in battle of course.~

Sergey gave a smile

Sergey: "Well, that sounds more than reasonable, you're nursing us so good already... Yes I can do that."

Mireille pat him on the head

Mireille: ~I knew I could count on you. Thanks~

By that point Loran had arrived, sitting down between them while happily chirping a bit.

Mireille: ~That reminds me... Loran got into a battle the other day... I think you should probably properly explain that to him.~

Sergey looked to the small Pokémon

Phaz: Hey, you're right! Hey sis, what are you doing here?

-On the side on the walk, there is a tall, green-haired girl, standing kinda awkwardly, looking at Phaz. She proceeds to walk up to Phaz, and... slap him.-

Amelie: Let's just say that i waited an hour and half to finally see you.

Phaz: Hey, sis, nice to see you. It's been like two years.

Amelie: You said you'll be here, at worse, near 20. It's half 21. I have the rights to get pissed.

Phaz: Said i would be... I never said anything like that to you...

Amelie: Well this tells otherwhise!

Amelie: ...Acknowleged. Well, now that this is over... You got a place to stay? Cause i could let you go with me.

Phaz: Sure. You got an apartment, right?

Amelie: Yeah. It's not big, but i think it'll go just fine. Say, didn't you talked about a girl? Something like... Bow? Bogen? Brankan?

Phaz: You were almost there. It's Ark. And she's right... She's not here. Okay... This is... Unsurprising of her. I'll present you to her later.

Amelie: Whatever. It's this way. Guess you are tired.

Phaz: I feel more tired than that time you decided it would be fun to hide the Riolu's bone of the neighboor behind your bag.

Chapter 9: Your ship is trash

 New Disorder Carrier Ship 

-Hux Titania and Kylo Robin are walking amid a deck of the ship-

Hux!Lina: Supreme Leader Prometheus was explicit...

-turns to Kylo Robin and glares icily-

Once the Mantine is destroyed, the map would be delivered directly to them.

Kylo Robin:    How good are your forces?   

Hux!Lina: Don't question my methods.

Kylo Robin: -rolls his eyes under his helmet-    They've obviously got quite the knack for high treason; perhaps Leader Prometheus should consider my suggestion of a Glitch Risen army.   

Hux!Lina: -twitches again and turns to face Kylo- My troops are EV Trained and IV hacked from birth. Far better than glorified zombies.

Kylo Robin:    Then they should have no problem getting that map and giving it a pass by me first.   

Hux!Lina: -scowls- Careful, Robin, that your personal ambitions don't cloud your own loyalty to Leader Snoke.

Kylo Robin: -gives an almost draconic snarl-    I want that map first; for your sake make sure I get it first.   

-he stalks off as Hux!Lina glowers after-

 Desert Outpost 

-Arika lands here-

Arika: Geez, longer flight than expected to this place, frigging thirsty. @_@

-goes up to a Clefairy-

You have water?

-the Clefairy shakes their head, Arika approaches an Ampharos-

...How about you?

Ampharos: -clutches their water bottle- <Mine.>

Arika: -to a Lunatone- You got wa- Wait, not an organic lifeform.

Lunatone: <My apologies.>

-Arika notices a watering hole with a Bastiodon drinking out of it-

Arika: ...Not my finest moment.

-rushes over and starts scooping the water into her mouth; initially she almost vomits at the taste but keeps drinking out of sheer thirst-

-Nearby, Ammy and Nandi are talking when an Elgyem sneaks behind Nandy and dumps a bag on her while a Beeheyem pins Ammy's arms telekinetically from behind. However, Ammy manages to kick herself free of the Beheeyem's grip, ram her staff into the Elgyem's face, and whip off her armband to blast them both with Bug Buzzes to finish them off-

-Arika, meanwhile, is shoved aside by the Bastiodon, and after a couple failed attempts to shove it back with her Megagross claws she gives up and turns just in time to notice Ammy replacing her armband to abuse thumbs freeing Nandi from the bag.-

Arika: ...Ammy?

-Ammy promptly frees Nandi-

Human!Ammy: Those guys must have worked for Unkar; apparently he wants to sell you to naive gamer-

Arika: Nandi?!

Nandi: -looks up,beams- Arika?!

Human!Ammy: -looks up herself, also beams- Arika! You found us! This is perfect!

Arika: -just stares at them, bewildered-

Human!Ammy: -blinks- ...Arika?

Arika: ...Sorry, my brain's just trying to process both the act I found Nandi after all these years like this and the fact you two are supposed to be trying to murder me right now but aren't.

Human!Ammy: ...What? Wait, where'd you get that Mega Metagross suit?! It looks like Chrome's human clothes fused with some kinda armor... Do you have any idea what's going on here?!

Arika: I KINDA DO OK

-She is calmed down by a glomp from Nandi-

Nandi: <Arika! I missed you so much...>

Arika: -hugs back with both her arms and the foreclaws of her suit- Nandi! Oh, I'm never trading you away again...

Nandi: <A-are you sure? Everyone here's trying to sell me!>

Arika: ...What?!

Human!Ammy: It's true, and it's terrible! Everyone in this desert's after poor Nandi, particularly this weirdo who I'm sure wants to sell her through some cell phone game...

Arika: ...Actually, I think his real intent may be several times less evil but several thousand times more dire.

-to Nandi-

You still have that map Chromey gave you?

Nandi: Sure thing!

Arika: Good girl, and that confirms it.

Human!Ammy: Confirms what?

Arika: The map in question may lead to Umbra, and there may also be a whole evil empire formed by the Glitch after it.

Human!Ammy: ...

-lays down and curls up in a ball-

We're in a race to find Umbra against a whole reality-warping glitch army. This is not my day.

Arika: -eyebrow wiggle- Hey, if there's a whole battalion pining for your fiance that at least suggests he's quite the keeper.

Human!Ammy: -grits her teeth- Shut up.

Nandi: -looks over- <Um, guys?>

-Ammy and Arika look over to see two Glitch troopers talking to some villagers, the former quickly noticing them back and heading for them-

Arika: ...We gotta run.

-she scoops up Ammy and Nandi in her suit's foreclaws and fires energy from the hindclaws to propel her as she runs, the troopers chasing after and blasting at them as the villagers around them panic-

Nandi: <AAAAAAAAA>

Human!Ammy: YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY US

Arika: YES I DO I HAVE THE SUPER SUIT

-They eventually lose the troopers and hide in a tent, Arika dropping Ammy and Nandi off-

Human!Ammy: OK, I know they're after Nandi, but why are they after us?

Arika: Let's just say they know me a bit too well.

[Human!Ammy: You can tell me more than that!

Arika: Not right now, considering they're still-

-hears engines roaring-

...trying even harder to kill us!

-Scoops up Ammy and Nandi again and starts running-

Human!Ammy: You don't have to do tha-

-A glitch bolt from a ZIP Fighter impacts nearby, knocking them all to the ground. Ammy is the first to push herself up-

...OK, maybe you were on to something.

-Looks over to the prone Arika and crawls over to her as she and Nandi get up-

Arika: ...You OK?

Human!Ammy: Yeah, let's go!

-Everyone runs into a shipyard as the ZIP Fighters pursue them-

Human!Ammy: I can't outfly these guys!

Arika: Me neither, and we can't leave Nandi behind!

Human!Ammy: -points to a ship- We'll take that one, the only other ship here's garbage!

-The ship she's pointing to is promptly blown up-

...THE GARBAGE WILL DO

Nandi: <GARBAGE AHOY>

-they both rush over to the ship in question as Arika stares for a second at it-

-It has a sign next to it saying "Chaletwo Pimp Ship''; it distinctly resembles a flattened Mewtwo head in shape, compete with laser cannons where the eyes would be, but with a purple structure on top containing the cockpit resembling a pimp hat, complete with feather-like antennae-

Arika: Not what I was expecting the stand-in for the Millennium Talonflame to be, but, yet again, the garbage will do.

-She rushes in as well-

Raeburn: I told you not to use that voice!

-Raeburn and Reggie enter an argument. Meanwhile, Ryuu and Ismene are thinking of a way to talk to Raeburn.-

Ryuu: Raeburn can understand that thing?

Ismene: It seems like it.

Ryuu: Maybe...we can have him translate our language to Raeburn?

Ismene: That would be great. But Reggie has always a problem with everything. He did not want to enter his own Pokeball, so master had to strap that rock thing on his belt!

Ryuu: Kid's got guts. Maybe he will be more helpful in the future?

Ismene: That is not likely, Ryuu.

"Lawful guys should stay home and play Atlus games. I hear they're awesome." -Random demon, Persona.

Old Chateau- 14 minutes until sunset

-The section of the book on the dispelling of glitches is as follows.-

Destruction Glitches need to be defeated in battle to be dispelled, so they are the most simple to get rid of.

Absorption Glitches have a ‘heart’ of sorts made out of all the beings they have absorbed. The heart will always be in a heavily protected area. Once the heart is destroyed, all the beings that have been absorbed will come back into existence. The destruction of the heart is difficult due to sections of power being distributed throughout the structure of inhabitant. These nodes are what links control of the structure to the heart. If the heart is destroyed before all these nodes are taken care of, then a new heart will form from one of them. The nodes and heart are easily identifiable, as they possess the typical glitch coloration. Attacking these structures and causing enough damage will destroy them.

Possession glitches take over the body of one being, while sealing the consciousness into the object that was sacrificed to bring it there. The object is easily identifiable by the constant glitching that happens on the surface as the captured being tries to fight back. Simply breaking the object should allow the captured being to return to the body, provided they can overpower the glitch already inhabiting it. If not, then they will simply be sealed into another object. It is best to wear down the glitch possessed body before breaking the object.

Duplication Glitches are difficult to destroy due to their mostly benevolent nature. The glitches of this type seem to not understand that they are doing anything wrong, as they shower their trainer with duplication of things they like. To do these feats of duplication, they draw upon the energy around them. These glitches have a tendency to die if they do not do this often enough. As detailed in the types section, I believe this to be a feeding method, with the duplicated item or being merely being a side-effect. Quarantining this being is difficult, but the only way to destroy it. Keeping it locked away from other people and Pokémon should starve it to death in about a month.

Kiaran: <Okay that's nice, so can we go kill this thing now?>

-At that moment the house shook violently as the right wall exploded open as Ark? was punted through it. Kiaran reacted by bolting toward the falling girl, a glow enveloping him. When he caught Ark with his arms, he was no longer a Zorua. The new Zoroark almost dropped her as a Haunter flew out of her body.-

Keres: Okay you've done your part, whoop de freaking doo, sorry about possessing ya and shit. Gotta go back to saving my girlfriend and stuff, buh-bye!

-Ark groaned and attempted to swat at the ghost type as they tried to fly back through the hole only to be punted through the floor by a glitched out Gengar◊ that floated through the now closed hole. Anyone who had been looking through it in that moment would have noticed a little ghost girl blanking staring at a pulsating mass of glitches as Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde were absorbed by it.-

Ark: < Big brother...why... why are you taller then me now?>

-The Gengar turned towards the disoriented girl as she fired a shadow ball at her. Kiaran leapt out of the way.-

Kiaran: <GUYS! DO SOMETHING!>

Ren: -to Des- Welcome to Ayzs Lla!^note Pronounced, "Az-is Laa" Final area of Last Legend 14's 3.0 expansion - Skyguard! In the game, the way to get to the center area - the Flagship - was to fly. And if we split up into groups, one can focus on blocking or redirecting the lighting while one or two others fly while rotating flying and blocking duties so Protect and over moves can be refreshed.
