Soujin: "Whew..."
"Not sure her having left is a good option, but still."
-He comes out from behind the rocks and follows the others into the Outpost-

Velvet Room, Past
.. Daydre was always here. What are you talking about.
She follows the others through the door.
off the shits
-Mendel follows Daydre out the door as Ren is the last to exit as he follows the rest out the door.-
Realm of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, Yesterday
-Red. Red and the smell of blood and burning sulfur in the air. The ground is like a smooth red metal with evil-green glowing lines in geometric patterns stretch as far as the eye can see. And the sky is just an ominous. A pure black void only broken by clouds of Crimson Fog. In the distant a colossal fiery creature bares his teeth as it grins savage at the Contractors as it sits behind barrier of smoke and flames.-Ren: -his nose scrunching at the smell- Ugh. P-persona!
-Reynaert appears above Ren, the persona's coat flaring. The gem in Reynaert's cane shines as Reynaert casts an enchantment to protect allies from critical damage.-
-Mendel likewise summons Archimedes.-
Hi-no-Kagutsuchi: No need to get so worked up...
-The group is suddenly moved directly in front of the fire barrier. The massive demon - about 300ft tall - Sneers maliciously down at the Contractors. The prone form of Psyche lays between the clawed hands - each with five fingers that end in a claw that looks like a razor-edged blade that is made of tungsten.-
Hi-no-Kagutsuchi: I so enjoy telling the pathetic beings I'm about to slaughter how I'm going to kill them.
Ren: -in thought- So much for leading the advance...

You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Mezzo: -to Tangerine- Psst. That's the other Every, the one that works at PEFE. Wait, shouldn't you already know that?
Alolan Sandshrew: <You mean the one you had that dream about?>
Mezzo: -blushes- Shut up.
-a short distance away, Pianis picks up the crystal that Coldsteel was holding-
Pianis: What is this thing?
Coldsteel: <The key to my true power.>
Lily: Wait, do you not know about Z-Crystals?

He gives meds to Soujin
Here, to fix you and your team up.
He then proceed to take care of his Pokemons.
What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold
-Nyx materializes as Hi no Kagutsuchi makes his boast-
Nyx: <Yeah, good luck trying to do that.>
-Lisa materializes Fitchers Vogel-
Fitchers Vogel: <Oh, maybe I could have done something more useful if we had only had some time...>
Lisa: <I'm still going to take you down anyway!>
-Soujin catches the medicine-
Soujin: "Thanks."
-He heals himself up along with his team and Fairyflint-
Beat: <Ngh, I knew there was something up with her!>
Orlok: <Well, regardless, what are we going to do now?>
Fairyflint: <Any idea if she's going to get on that transport thing you folks mentioned earlier?>

-Galvani concentrates, spawning Ptah. The Magneton mumbles about how nice it would be to have the Nile nearby while looking around at the fiery environment.-
-Dune cracks his knuckles, usually a sign that his Persona was being summoned... but, oddly enough, none appear. However, a sense of foreboding seems to permeate the area around him.-
Dunsparce Cloud
Tapu Village
Every: -blink-
Uh, I don't know who you're talking about. I've never had any Pokemon but these.
-she turns to Mezzo-
And I've never worked at PEFE. Also, don't I know you? You're dating that redhead and if memory serves you two tried to kill me once or something.
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Mezzo: Wait, what? You mean Lily over there? Because I'm not dating her, she just stalks me.
Lily: Hey!
Mezzo: But wait, then who are you?
-...-
Mezzo: Please tell me this isn't an alternate universes thing. I swear if I ever see that other me again I am gonna kill her.
-a short distance away...-
Pianis: Okay, focus please. What is a Z crystal?
Lily: Oh, it lets you... you know what, lemme just show you. Hey Snow!
Snow: <Yeah?>
Lily: Let's do the thing!
Snow: <All right!>
-Snow steps forward, and Coldsteel attempts to glare at him-
Coldsteel: <You'll regret approaching me.>
-Lily touches a particular armband of hers-
-in response, energy starts flowing into a crystal hanging around Snow's horn-
Snow: <You know the best thing about heroes?>
-she then strikes a pose, doing a bunch of punches in place-
Snow: <They always win!>
-then he throws a barrage of punches at Coldsteel, followed by him backing off and launching a blast of Aura-
-it hits Coldsteel dead on, smashing him into a wall and creating a huge explosion!-
-when the dust clears, a large crater is left, and Coldsteel is nowhere in sight-
Pianis: ...
Forte: Holy crap... did you just vaporize him?
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

"..." Daydre summons Hulu-Jung and gets a brief feeling of inadequacy. So many of the others had evolved their personas... No, don't think about that now.
"Yeah, we're going to take you down.. or something.."

Flying Colors
PEFE HQ
-Diane is slumped at a desk, the light of a laptop illuminating her face in the otherwise dark room. Around her are a number of papers scattered, with notes scribbled on them near illegibly. She sighs.-
Diane: Ugh, all these years of procrastination on this one article, you'd think I'd be able to finally finish it now...
-The door squeaks open, and Skye comes in with a cup of coffee, a bag of some sort of fast food, and a blanket folded up under her arm.-
Skye: You doing okay?
Diane: Yeah, yeah... I'm gonna get this done soon, I just... can't focus. Aaaaagh.
-Skye sets the cup and food down next to Diane and unfolds the blanket to drape around her shoulders.-
Skye: Don't work yourself too hard, I don't wanna see you get sick. Especially after you worked so hard to help me with my recovery.
Diane: Right... um, thank you, Skye.
-Skye smiles and kisses Diane's cheek-
Skye: Love you, babe.
Diane: Love you too...
-Skye hugs Diane around her shoulders. Diane's reaction isn't to lean into the hug, but rather, to inhale sharply in pain as something on her back crinkles.-
Diane: ...
Skye: ...Diane, what was that?
Diane: Nothing, don't worry about it.
Skye: Was that a bandage? Did you get hurt?
Diane: It's nothing to worry about, I promise. Just a little mishap yesterday.
-Skye takes the blanket off of Diane's right shoulder, takes out her phone to use as a light source, and sees the outline of a massive square bandage along the right side of her back beneath her shirt.-
Skye: Dear Ho-oh, what did you do? What— Diane, I've gotta see what happened, there's no way something that big isn't something to worry about!
-She pulls Diane's shirt up-
Diane: Wait hold on it's not— owowowowow that stings aaah
-Skye peels the bottom of the bandage off...-
-And both parties fall silent for several seconds.-
Skye: ...Diane.
Diane: Yes, sweetie?
Skye: When did you find the time and money to get a tattoo.
Diane: Um... surprise!
-Indeed, beneath the bandage is a still-healing tattoo of a wing along the right side of Diane's back-
Skye: Like this looks like it was a really expensive one how did you manage to afford it
Diane: Kaito took me out to get it for my birthday
Skye: You roped him into getting tattoos with you
Diane: He didn't get one! He just helped me get one!
Skye: I mean this looks really pretty but babe this had to hurt so much
Diane: I only cried for twenty minutes!
Skye: Babe pls

Heahea, past
-To Other!Tangent-
So I'm the leader of the PEFE in your home verse.
I guess that means either Pokefutures doesn't exist there or they're irrelevant.
How come you didn't join? And you didn't quite answer my question about what got you guys here in the first place.
-As Other!Tagg and Umbra approach-
Well, I guess you're me. Headmaster Tagg... it sounds weird in my mouth. And you're probably not my Umbra.
Other!Tagg: And you're... also me.
Other!Nudi: <Oh cool, now there's three Taggs instead of two, though we don't know where Tagg #3 ended up.>
Good to see in your verse I still have Nudi.
Muddy: -To Helios, aside- <That look in his eye, it reminds me of how Tagg was before... Orre. Not the last time, the first time.>
Helios: <Maybe he didn't meet that Tokarev guy in that verse.>
Do you guys have anything akin to the J-Team?
Other!Tagg: Nope.
I wonder if we'd exchange memories if we touched, like I did with my other counterpart the time.
Other!Tagg: It would make an interesting experiment.

You're shivering. Are you afraid?
Pianis: That was... something. Please tell me you did not kill my Sandshrew.
-an unconscious Sandshrew falls from the sky, landing with a heavy impact-
Lily: Nah, he's fine. Anyway yeah, Z-Moves are kind of like limit breaks.
Pianis: What?
Lily: -sigh- Okay, think of it as Mega Evolution, but for moves. You need a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal for 'em, and there's one for every type. I bet that's the Ice type one he had there.
Forte: I have a few Z crystals too, but where do you get the ring?
Lily: I dunno. I got mine from Hala, the kahuna guy on Melemele Island. He gave me the Fighting crystal too. Pretty nice guy, does some mean sumo moves.
