Doradan: Well then...

Such brutish behavior. Let us be done with this.

Let's SMASH these things!

Doradan: Go, Nautilus!

-A dive ball flies from his hand, and an old, scarred Barbaracle appears.-

Nautilus: <All... will... drown...>

-The massive creature grapples with the nearest Armortomb, stabbing it fiercely with Night Slashes.-

Ever: Now this brings back the memories...

-he nudges Breeze-

Ever: Hey, remember this? Good times, good times...

Breeze: <...They weren't.>

Ever: I mean fair.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

The Cathedral(?)

Vierr: See, this version of the guy encourages improvement! You'd be a pretty cool person if you were able to chill the fuck out!

-The staff turns black, and he extends it to sweep across any Spiritomb that cross his path.

Jeannie: <I can read your thoughts, you know. I know you're thinking of finding a way back in time to get him to teach you, and I'm gonna tell you outright that that's a bad idea.>

Vierr: ...It may have crossed my mind.

-Jeannie rolls her eyes and aims a Psychic at the Keystone. Meanwhile, Soul Arrow is aiming arrow after arrow after arrow straight at Annoski himself, disregarding the staff entirely.-

Soul Arrow: <You are the reason this power should never have been granted to humans!>

-Ashen is here, human again because Glitches, as are the other 2/3rds of A3 and Siobhan and co.-

Ashen: "This remains weird."

Argent: <Seriously.>

-Ashen fires a bolt from her crossbow at the Keystone. Argent fires a Shadow Ball at a nearby Armortomb or Spiritomb, and Archimedes does the same.-

Siobhan: "So this is the guy who caused all of that... crap."

-Amatsumagatsuchi, Dalamadur, Zhi Shen Lung, and Gogmazios use Dragon Pulse, Dragon Breath, Psychic, and Dragon Breath, respectively, on the Keystone, Keystone, Keystone, and an Armortomb, respectively

Daydre is Poofef to the Cathedral.

"Well, glad to have my opposable thumbs back..."

Dolo is, amazingly, still rolling around and and Rolls Out right into an Armortomb. Daydre also sends out Orthrus, who Flamethrowers a Spiritomb.

off the shits

Cathedral (?)

Annoski, stop this madness, stop it right now!

-And fires a beam of Aura straight at him-

Nudi: -Uses Surf to sweep some Armortomb off the edge of the Cathedral roof-

Garchomp: -Dragon Rushes an Armortomb into a regular Spiritomb, as both get Moonblasted by Fortuna- <You know, we really could've used Fairy type moves back then.>

Muddy: -Uses Foresight before shattering a Spiritomb's Keystone with a Brick Break- <Definitely.>

Annoski (?): -Unlike the last time, he fires a crescent shaped construct that splits my beam into two halves that pass right by him- You'll have to do better than that!

-Maggie's arrow misses, but the other attacks he only barely blocks with a barrier, but it doesn't work fully, as the Keystone is revealed to have a barrier around it that appears to have been slightly cracked-

Argh!

-Annoski comes down, creating an Obscura shockwave-

-Meanwhile, as the other 'tombs are fainted by everyone's attacks, more Armortomb start coming up from the basement, except that these Armortomb seem to be covered in bandages like mummy wrappings. They, combined with the 'tombs that haven't been defeated yet start surrounding the group in an attempt to box them in-

Jason:Looks like they'll just keep coming.

-Sends out Senshi-

Senshi:<Are those...mummies?>

Jason:Looks like it. Keep 'em busy!

-Senshi Moonblasts a Mummytomb blocking the path to Annoski while Jason Flash Steps forward to try and deliver a jumping slash with a Greatsword Construct to the Key Stone, barrier-

They're trying to box us in.

I can see that.

Those new one look like mummies!

I can see that!

We should CRUSH them!

Finally, something productive, even if it's just so.

-Doradan takes a trio of Pokeballs from his belt.-

Doradan: Riven! Darius! Draven!

-A trio of Bisharp spring from the balls.-

Darius: ... <HAH! Finally, a FIGHT!>

Draven: <I'm counting... a dozen and more coming?>

Riven: ...

Darius: <Excellent. Then it is a fair fight!>

-All three rush in to join battle alongside Nautilus, all using Night Slashes.-

Mezzo: I remember Forte getting her arm broken because she did something stupid.

Forte: Hey!

Shadow: <No, she's right, that was stupid.>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

The Cathrdral(?)

Umbra: Mummytombs! Don't make direct contact!

-Alduin, Issun, and Oberon keep up ranged attacks while everyone else focuses on Annoski and/or his Keystone.-

(Simon quickly reaches for his belt and throws out a second Pokeball. Out pops a Honchkrow, who regards the situation with what seems to be dry amusement.)

Simon: Corleone, get above them and attack the Keystone from the air!

Corleone: <Heh, will do. Less time I spend lookin' at dese ugly mooks, the bedda.>

(As the Honchkrow takes to the skies, Dougal distracts the wall of Spiritomb with a further hail of Dragon and Dark Pulses.)

Tastes better on the way back down.

-Ian's returned to normal -

-He listens to the dialogue between Tagg and Annoski and remembers everyone in Sinnoh turning into ghosts or something a few years back-

-was that seriously 5 years ago though??-

Ian: So that's what happened.

-Ian sends out all his mons and splits between ranged blasting the mummies and the main keystone-

-Dalamadur, Gogmazios, and Amatsumagatsuchi send Dragon Breaths towards the Mummytombs.-

-Zhi Shen Lung starts Psychically flinging pieces of debris at the Mummytombs.-

-Ashen fires another bolt at the Keystone.-

Ashen: "They're mummies, when is that ever a good idea?"

-Argent fires of a Psyshock at the Keystone.-

-Archimedes runs up and attempts to punch the Keystone repeatedly.-

-Vierr watches Annoski come down, then uses his staff construct to vault over the incoming wall of Armortombs as well as the shockwave. He then rushes directly toward Annoski to attack him, the construct changing to one resembling a mace.-

-Jeannie throws a couple Shadow Balls at the Armortombs and Mummytombs, intending to clear a path.-

-Soul Arrow also rushes toward Annoski, charging up a more traditional (but relatively large due to the Nexus) Aura Sphere and throwing it.-

-Despite everyone's best efforts, and the fainting of numerous tombs the Spiritomb continue to corral us-

You know, I really wish Alphonse and the others were here right now.

Annoski (?): -Focuses before creating a massive shockwave that knocks back Jason and Vierr, and dissipates the other attacks aimed at him. The barrier does manage to somewhat waver, however- Do you think a bunch of Hedge Aurics like yourselves stand a chance against me?

-He then briefly creates a spectral construct version of the Giant Armortomb◊ that slashes at the group with its twin blades before disappearing-

Umbra: -frowns- I find the term Hedge Auric a bit insulting for me.

-Everyone starts trying to hit Annoski from multiple angles, hitting Spiritomb when needed-

-Jason slams into a wall-

Jason:Oof!

Senshi:<Jase!>

-Senshi levitates a Mummytomb to block the attack, then hurls said Mummytomb at Annoski-

-Jason pushes himself up-

Jason:Hedge...? Feh. Please. I've taken harder h-hits from Kusaru!

-He bubbles himself from the attack, then throws a multitude of Discus at Annoski-

Can't keep up that barrier forever!

-Ashen is slammed into the ground. She frowns at Annoski, and fires another crossbow bolt at the Keystone.-

-Siobhan's Dragons work on reducing the numbers surrounding them, mostly with a bunch of Dragon Breaths.-

-Archimedes Shadow Balls Armortombs.-

-Argent raises a Protect around A3.-

-During the time the Spiritomb were being beaten, Rumba has evolved from Lotad into a Lombre-

Rumba: <Ngh... This is getting a bit much.>

-Buddy lays down Toxic Spikes to try and wear down the approaching Spiritomb-

Buddy: <Maybe try focusing on that thing everyone else is aiming at?>

-Rumba nods and shoots an Energy Ball at the Keystone-

-Vierr is blown back by the shockwave, but manages to block the sword swipe.-

Vierr: ...I guess that's a bit nicer of a thing to call me than I usually get.

Jeannie: <You're really keen on giving him more credit than he deserves, huh?>

Vierr: Can't I admire someone who's trying to kill me?

-He gets up, and throws the mace construct, which flickers colors and explodes wherever it impacts. Jeannie, meanwhile, keeps fending off Armortombs.-

Soul Arrow: <It's no surprise someone with forbidden powers like you would admire this monster!>

-He fires two arrows — one at Annoski, and one at Vierr, who doesn't expect it and gets the wind knocked out of him.-

Vierr: Ack! What the hell?! What are your priorities?!

Cathedral(?)

-Nautilus and Darius both are clipped by the sword swipes, but manage to recover before the remaining Armortombs can take advantage of the opening.-

Doradan: Grrrrr...

C'mon, do it! We NEED TO CRUSH HIM!

No, we DON'T! Just keep it up, he can't do this forever.

Can he NOT? Even I feel the power in this place! I can feel it coursing through us!

Not yet...

-Lina sees Soul Arrow go after Vierr, sighs, and sends out Eowyn-

Lina: If the other Aura dog tries to hurt the scruffy kid, beat him up.

Eowyn: <Shouldn't I be beating up the sorceror creep?>

Lina: If the other Lucario doesn't try anything stupid, you can beat up the sorceror creep.

Eowyn: <Aha! Hey, arrow dork! Don't try anything stupid!>

Annoski (?): -Deflects the discus constructs with his staff- ...I have no idea who that is.

-Suddenly a blast of Aura sends a large portion of the 'tombs reeling, the origin appearing to be three Aura Guardians and their mons-

Alphonse: -Riding atop his Rapidash- We'll handle them, focus on Annoski!

Sarah: -Throwing debris as her Lucario creates a Bone Club three times larger than usual to attack- I will say, you have definitely improved since when you fought Alois.

Alois: -Riding on a piece of debris as his Nintetales uses Inferno- We'll help you finish this!

Forecaster: -To Soul Arrow- <Vierr's right, your priorities suck!>

-To Annoski, sending more spectral blades at him-

You know, for a "hedge Auric", I still did manage to injure you the first time!

Annoski (?): -Is distracted by blocking the attacks and my taunt that he doesn't quite notice an Aura chain wrapping around his leg, which is then used to slam him into the ground with great force, the Keystone barrier cracking even more-
